Millions in funding could soon be poured into dozens of projects aimed at alleviating traffic congestion and expanding alternate methods of commuting around Santa Fe Drive following the completion of a two-year study.
The Santa Fe Drive Action Plan — which examined 11 miles of the heavily trafficked road from its southern end at C-470 to the northern junction of Alemeda Drive and I-25 — lays out a roadmap for needed improvements that could span decades, with some projects possibly beginning in 2024.
“It’s yielded just a rich future on important projects,” said Littleton City Manager Jim Becklenberg during a presentation of the plan’s findings to city councilmembers Oct. 11.
Though the meeting mainly focused on proposals for Littleton, the action plan was a regional effort with backing from the cities of Littleton, Englewood and Sheridan as well as the counties of Arapahoe and Douglas, the City and County of Denver and the Colorado Department of Transportation — or CDOT.
The plan laid out three main goals: (1) Increase safety on the corridor by reducing crashes caused by congestion and direct access to the corridor from local roads and driveways; (2) Increase the operational performance of the corridor that currently results in poor travel time reliability

Two adult males have been taken into custody with charges related to shots being fired into multiple homes in Centennial on Sept. 18, the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office announced in a news release on Oct. 12.
Investigators previously asked for help finding the person, or people, who fired gunshots into multiple homes near East Progress Circle and South Flanders Court in Centennial around 8:30 p.m. on Sept. 18.
According to the news release, investigators received several tips through the sheriff’s office tip line that “led to the possible identity of the shooters.” Authorities did not provide the identities of the two subjects at this time.
After further investigation, investigators found probable cause for arrest warrants for “two of the males involved,” the sheriff’s office said in the release.
On Oct. 11, investigators conducted surveillance on one of the suspect’s homes and “saw the two individuals enter the suspected vehicle used in the original shooting and drive away,” the sheriff’s office said in the release.
Investigators and patrol deputies conducted a “high-risk stop on the car” and took the two males into custody, according to the news release.
The suspects were transported to the Arapahoe County Detention Center and booked on the following charges:
• Criminal attempt murder in the first degree, Class 2 felony
• Menacing, Class 5 felony
• Illegal discharge of a firearm, Class 5 felony
• Criminal mischief, Class 6
felony
• Prohibited use of a weapon, Class 1 misdemeanor
• Reckless endangerment, Class 2 misdemeanor
Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office will not share any further information about the case at this time because the investigation is ongoing, according to the release.
For Centennial resident Mark Gotto, there’s been no better training for his bid to become Arapahoe County’s next District 2 commissioner than his mix of private and public sector experience.
Gotto, who served on Centennial’s city council from 2014 to 2018, currently works as a vice president for Dish Network — a television and internet provider. He is now running as a Republican against his Democratic opponent Jessica Campbell-Swanson in the Nov. 8 election.
Over his years of work as both an executive in the telecommunications industry and as an elected official, Gotto said he has the skills to help lead the county in 2023 and beyond, starting with how to balance a healthy budget of more than $400 million.
“I’ve run budgets that large,” Gotto said. “I am the one that will be ready on day one. There’s really nothing that a county commissioner has done that I haven’t done in some capacity.”
Born and raised by an adopted family in Iowa, Gotto graduated from the University of South Dakota before beginning a roughly 20-year career in communications. When he decided to be a stay-athome dad while he and his wife raised their first child, Gotto began volunteering for community positions — including with Centennial’s planning commission. Before long he “got the service bug” and ran for council to “make an impact.”
During his tenure, Gotto helped keep the city’s budget debt free and was a vocal advocate for funding more police officers in schools. As an Arapahoe County commissioner, Gotto said he would continue his record of fiscal responsibility with the county’s sprawling budget whilst focusing on areas possibly in need of more spending.
One of these could be for a new jail, which county voters overwhelmingly rejected when asked in 2019 to approve a raise in property taxes to pay for a replacement for the county’s current facility. Despite the roughly 2-to-1 defeat of the measure, Gotto said support may be different the second time around.
“We desperately need a new jail,” Gotto said, calling the current one “a very run down poor facility.”
Any new spending not already within the county’s budget would have to be approved by voters, likely through a tax increase, and Gotto believes a new jail could win approval if voters are more educated about how much the aging facility has eaten away at the county’s budget because of maintenance and repairs. A new jail, Gotto
said, would “actually be saving money” for the county.
Gotto said he is not opposed to tapping other fund sources for the project, such as using federal dollars allocated to the county through the American Rescue Plan Act, a $1.9 trillion COVID stimulus package passed by Congress last year. The county was allocated over $127 million in those funds, which officials must spend by 2026.
Federal spending will be a key component of the county’s continued economic rebound from the pandemic and, though inflation has hampered some agendas, local governments like Arapahoe are flush with federal dollars.
Along with the American Rescue Plan Act, Arapahoe County will soon receive millions from a $550 billion infrastructure law also passed last year in an attempt to shore up the nation’s roads and bridges whilst paving the way for clean energy investments. Gotto estimates there are dozens of stalled infrastructure projects around the county and said he is eager to take advantage of those funds to finish the jobs.
“I always tell everyone, potholes do not have a party,” Gotto said. “There’s a lot of things that need to be fixed.”
Another major project facing commissioners in 2023: setting up a new health department. With the dissolution of the Tri-County Health Department at the end of the year, the counties of Arapahoe, Adams and Douglas will need to stand up their own health services for hundreds of thousands of residents.
While Arapahoe’s new department has seen its leadership team established, it will take a continued effort from commissioners to ensure the organization is staffed, funded and on track to deliver services — a feat likely to consume commissioners early in their terms.
Gotto said he was critical of some of the decisions made by Tri-County health “around masking, shutting down the businesses, shutting down schools” during the height of the pandemic. Though an initial five-person board for Arapahoe’s new health department has already been named, Gotto said he would work to ensure “more diversity” as the board’s makeup changes in the years to come.
As he saw it, Tri-County was an “unelected board” that failed to meet certain community needs when it made its COVID-era decisions, and Gotto said he would like to see a decision-making body of “not all health experts.” Gotto said
Jessica Campbell-Swanson sees opportunity for Arapahoe County.
A former English teacher, political attorney, campaign consultant and chief of staff for state Rep. Iman Jodeh, she is now the Democratic candidate in the race for Arapahoe County commissioner for District 2 — which encompasses part of the City of Centennial.
While Campbell-Swanson said there is no shortage of challenges facing her community, she is optimistic about meeting the moment.
“We’re at a critical juncture and I thought it was time to step up for my community,” Campbell-Swanson said. “This race is really exciting and challenging and I think also reflective of where the state is as a whole.”
From a continued increase in the cost of living to stressors on traffic, environment and mental health, Campbell-Swanson said the county — and state’s — expected population growth is at the heart of what will make or break the future.
“Because we are growing, there is stress on all of these issues,” she said. Campbell-Swanson said she doesn’t see growth as an enemy but rather an untapped potential to make the county “healthy, thriving and sustainable.”
“I just don’t think there’s any use to try to stop growth or hide it,” Campbell-Swanson said. “I think population growth could be a huge opportunity.” The intersection of growth and several top-of-mind issues for county residents — housing, environment, traffic and transportation — is what excites Campbell-Swanson.
On housing, Campbell-Swanson said she would champion a diversity of new homes, from denser apartments to smaller townhomes, as the county’s housing supply continues to sit well below what officials have said is needed as its population expands.
“We absolutely have to get more flexible and open with the kinds of housing options that will be created going forward,” CampbellSwanson said. “What I hear all of the time … is that increasingly, young professionals are not able to move out of their parents’ homes.”
The crisis of not being able to afford a home extends to seniors unable to downsize and renters contending with the burden of living paycheck to paycheck, Campbell-Swanson said. The county is already beginning to tweak its land code to allow for more potential development in its unincorporated areas, especially for affordable housing. Campbell-Swanson said she hopes to build off that as a commissioner.
But conversations around hous-
Campbell-Swanson’s Republican opponent, Mark Gotto, has also said he could support diverse housing options, but added he would “protect our neighborhoods” while doing so. Campbell-Swanson said she understands the concerns some residents may have around what denser housing could mean for traffic, access to parks and open space and more.
“My job will be to listen to people’s concerns … while also doing what is right for our population overall,” she said. “Sometimes government has to make tough decisions that not everybody likes and my goal and aim would be to have conversations with people who are resistant to density and that kind of growth to find consensus if possible.”
Campbell-Swanson hopes her ethos of turning challenge into progress will help residents see how investing in housing can lead to better outcomes for a slew of issues. The smaller footprints of condos and townhomes will better preserve parks and open spaces compared to more sprawling single-family homes, which she said also use more water and other resources.
The environmental impact of housing extends to transportation as well, with Campbell-Swanson envisioning mixed-use neighborhoods that can increase bikeability, walkability and access to public transportation like buses and trains. All of which, she said, would help improve physical, mental health and environmental sustainability.
Addressing the lack of affordable housing will also be key to helping the county’s unhoused population, Campbell-Swanson said, though it won’t be the only prong of a successful approach. Supporting and even expanding county-funded programs, such as a service launched this May to help residents facing evictions stay housed, will be crucial. Arapahoe County had the most evictions of any county in the state last year, and clinic staff recently reported being inundated with clients — even having to regularly turn away residents who are seeking help.
“It is cheaper to keep people housed and it is a better use of our tax dollars than to get them housed once they enter homelessness,” Campbell-Swanson said, adding she hopes to continue the county’s trend of working regionally to address the issue. “We’re just now getting out of our silos.”
CAMPBELL-SWANSON,For Aurora resident Scott Liva, Arapahoe County’s issues are symptoms of far larger systemic failures nationwide. From a rise in crime to increased fentanyl deaths, the economic strife brought by COVID-19, inflation and poor federal policies is at the center of the blame.
Over his decades in military service and law enforcement, Kevin Edling said he has seen the evolution of criminal justice.
Liva BrownAs a candidate for Arapahoe County sheriff, Liva said his responsibility if elected would be “just holding back the tsunami.” While his outlook may sound grim, Liva said he is more a realist than a pessimist, believing empowering local residents to face their own problems is a key to fighting current turmoil.
A Libertarian, Liva ran unsuccessfully for an Aurora city council seat in 2021. And while he’s once again up against candidates from the two major political parties in his sheriff bid, he believes some county residents will be willing to give libertarians a chance.
“We make sure that we’re on the ballot so we can give people options,” Liva said. “Both major parties are taking money out of their wallets and taking away their rights.”
At the heart of Liva’s campaign is a philosophy of personal rights and distrust of a “tyrannical” government that he sees as infringing upon those rights. Liva has been critical of national and local police practices that have led to death and destruction, he said.
Liva has taken part in several protests against police brutality. Enveloping the top of Liva’s Facebook campaign page is a photo of him standing in front of officers in riot gear with a sign that reads “DEFUND POLICE.”
The Libertarian candidate said if elected sheriff he would not be in support of defunding or even reducing the department’s funds, but said the slogan should be a wake-up call to how law enforcement operates.
“This is another way for me to put pressure on them,” Liva said, calling the defund the police slogan “a reaction to tyranny on the national level.”
But even locally, Liva said there is plenty of abuse from law enforcement. He cited an incident reported in April when an elderly couple in Sheridan said a SWAT team from the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office caused serious damage to their home after police broke in to look for a suspect who wasn’t there. It’s the kind of “jackbooted military tactics” Liva said he would not tolerate if elected sheriff, suggesting the action could have been a “political stunt before the election to make it look like they’re tough on crime.”
Liva said he supports more armed citizens in Arapahoe County and as sheriff he would increase hours for when residents can come to offices to apply for an open carry permit, hoping to make the process more accessible.
“I encourage people in Arapahoe County to open carry. We’re going to see crime increase as inflation continues to wipe out the middle class,” Liva said. “We’re going to need all law-abiding citizens onboard to possibly open carry all the time just to keep a lid on the chaos.”
Liva said he feels Colorado’s red flag law — which gives police and residents the ability to petition a court to temporarily seize a firearm from someone who may be dangerous — is unconstitutional.
“If somebody reports someone who is possibly a problem … I don’t have any right to take property from a citizen when they haven’t committed a crime,” Liva said, adding he would support other resources to help with mental health issues without taking away firearms.
From more investment in crisis intervention to education around mental health, some policies have been necessary updates, Edling said. But there are areas where he believes practices have faltered.
“Why are we seeing such a huge increase in auto theft?” Edling questioned. “Today, much of the metro area has a no chase policy for auto theft. The accountability issue is what’s missing … if you do nothing and don’t hold people accountable, you’re going to continue to see it.”
The rise in auto thefts embodies a much larger issue around what Edling sees as weak policies fueling more crime. Edling, who is running on the Republican ticket for Arapahoe County sheriff, said if elected he would bring greater enforcement for communities who are feeling less safe.
Auto thefts, Edling said, are just one issue where there is a need for a more “common sense approach” and where the county sheriff’s office has failed to deliver.
Edling claims there were more than 700 vehicle thefts in Arapahoe County in 2021 with barely any arrests made. According to state crime data, there were 785 crimes associated with attempted or completed motor vehicle theft in 2021 with 643 vehicles actually stolen. Nearly 550 of those vehicles were recovered, data shows.
As sheriff, Edling said he would support a broader chase policy for suspected auto thefts, something other local police departments have held back on due to safety concerns.
The City of Littleton, for example, will not engage in chases related to stolen vehicles unless the suspect could mean a “danger to human life or cause serious injury,” according to the department’s policy.
Chase policies that do allow for pursuits of stolen vehicles in some instances have led to crashes, road closures and injuries. At least five crashes occurred in Littleton since 2019 after Douglas County authorities pursued what they believed were stolen vehicles.
Edling said he would support a “hybrid” approach, meaning sheriff’s office deputies would only engage in chases depending on the time of day and potential risk to civilians.
“We’re not going to chase stolen cars at 7:30 in the morning when you’re kids are on the way to school,” he said. “We know the danger of police chases, but we also have to remember it is the criminal who is driving recklessly and putting people in danger, not always because a police car is chasing them.”
Outside of auto thefts, Edling said police should have “zero tolerance” for fentanyl use, possession and distribution. Overdose deaths from the drug have risen sharply in the county, with data showing it has been the leading killer among drug-related deaths since 2020.
While some local law enforcement, such as in Englewood and Littleton, have said they don’t usually make arrests when responding to a fentanyl overdose — so long as a person has less than 1 gram of the drug on them — Edling said there should still be consequences, even if it’s a misdemeanor. He likened the crisis to the crack cocaine epidemic of the 1980s and early 1990s, which he also felt needed a tough-on-crime approach.
“I don’t see any difference in how we should
Arapahoe County Sheriff Tyler Brown faces a balancing act in his bid for reelection this November. With a slew of public safety concerns, from rising crime to increased deaths from fentanyl, the incumbent sheriff must also contend with continued pressure for more police reform and investments in alternative practices.
“People want to see us be responsive to community requests for change, and I think we’ve done that,” said Brown, a Democrat. “I’m not saying we’re always perfect, but we’ve set it up to be successful and always willing to adjust our practices.”
Brown, who began his career in law enforcement in 2007 as a code enforcement officer for the City of Aurora, was elected sheriff in 2018. His department has faced a pandemic, a national reckoning on race and policing, a deadly fentanyl crisis and a greater manifestation of mental health issues.
For Brown, it’s meant listening to — and building on — ways to improve policing whilst maintaining a heavy-handed approach when necessary.
“There are circumstances where a crime is committed and we need to hold people accountable,” Brown said, adding others “might not need the criminal justice system. They need mental health resources.”
As sheriff, Brown oversaw the implementation of a department-wide co-responder program that partners police officers with licensed clinicians when responding to potential mental health-related calls. Police can sometimes “escalate situations” when dealing with such situations, Brown said, while clinicians have more tools and training to help diffuse incidents without the need for violence or force.
This can be especially crucial when dealing with issues of substance abuse or homelessness, Brown said, adding he believes about a quarter of the roughly 4,000 co-responder calls since 2020 have avoided leading to an arrest or charge. Instead, many people can get access to treatment programs and resources that also spare placing more burden on an already stressed criminal justice system.
According to Brown, his office has over 950 people in custody in the county’s jail — about two-thirds capacity — costing taxpayers about $45 million. Brown said he supports creating a new facility to replace the aging jail, built in 1986 and retrofitted to house 1,458 beds, up from 386 originally.
Squeezing in that many people has mainly been possible due to building double, even triple, bunk beds. However, the jail’s infrastructure — such as pipes and plumbing — has not been kept up.
Arapahoe County voters were asked in 2019 to approve more tax money for the construction of new jail, but the measure failed by a roughly 2-to-1 margin. Still, Brown feels he could garner more support this time around by demonstrating how investments in a new facility, with new programs and resources, could reduce the number of people falling into police custody.
“We don’t want to see people return to jail on a regular basis, and anything we can do to help with that, that’s what we’re trying to accomplish,” Brown said.
Along with the co-responder program, Brown’s office has engaged in efforts to improve police transparency, he said, such as working with the City of Centennial to form
he is confident the health board and commissioners will be on the same page when it comes to policy decisions but did not rule out intervening if he felt that decisions violated their under standing.
“If a scenario happens where I feel the health board is over stepping and doing something outside of those bylaws, then I would convene, and persuade my other board members to convene,” Gotto said, and “make sure we agree how it should be run.”
His opponent, Campbell-Swan son, has said she would support board candidates with other experience in addition to public health, “at the end of the day though, it is a public health de partment, and that is the center of their role.” She said she would trust the decisions of commis sioners in their appointments and would not intervene with public health decision making.
Housing is another key issue Gotto hopes to begin to tackle if elected. As it grapples with rising home costs, the county has begun efforts to tweak its land use code for unincorporated areas in a bid to pave the way for more afford able housing developments.
“We really need more housing that’s affordable, there’s no ques tion,” Gotto said. “But it needs to be neighborhood by neighbor hood, community by commu
nity.”
Gotto’s experience on Centen nial’s planning commission makes him poised to explore housing policy as a commission er, he said, and added he wants “to protect our neighborhoods” from developments that some residents may feel encroaches on open space or exacerbates traffic.
About 94% of the county’s unincorporated land is zoned for single-family homes, locking out the potential for denser develop ments —like townhomes and condos — that some housing ex perts and policymakers have said is crucial for shoring up supply and driving down housing costs.
Gotto called “zoning the key” to good housing policy and wants to strike a balance between hous ing types and ranges in density depending on the neighborhood, saying “I don’t think you can do a one-size-fits-all.”
Ultimately, Gotto’s record will need to attract a coalition of Republicans and independents if he is to win the commissioner seat in November as the county has continued to shift towards Democrats in recent elections.
But Gotto isn’t worried, call ing his south-central Arapahoe County district “about as purple as it can get” and pointing to the three-term tenure of its outgoing commissioner, Nancy Sharp, who ran as a Republican.
“It’s definitely a district that a Republican can still win,” He said. “But the one that works the hardest is going to win, it’s not going to be about who’s Republi can or Democrat.”
With eyeing the county’s long term goals, Campbell-Swanson will also have to face an immedi ate challenge if she takes office in January: ensuring the county’s new health department can contin ue to get its feet off the ground.
While an initial board of health has been appointed, its makeup could soon change and commis sioners will need to recruit, in terview and select new members.
Campbell-Swanson said she will look for “public health experts who will be committed to datadriven, science-based, equitable policy” for a board position, draw ing a contrast with her opponent, Gotto, who said he would like to see a board of “not all health experts.”
Gotto said there is benefit to having board members — who will set public health policy for the county’s roughly 650,000 residents — with diverse backgrounds, such as business owners, and said he disagreed with some of the CO VID-19 policies from the soon-tobe disbanded Tri-County Health Department.
Campbell-Swanson said while she would support board candi dates with other experience in ad dition to public health, “at the end of the day though, it is a public health department, and that is the center of their role.” She said she would trust the decisions of com missioners in their appointments and would not intervene with pub
lic health decision making.
“You still do have a responsibili ty to engage and weighin and help them make the right decisions,” she said, adding “there’s a lot that we’ve learned from the last two years that will help us make better decisions for the future.” But she also wants to see the board do its work unimpeded.
Another issue that could be topof-mind for county voters: crime.
Campbell-Swanson said her experi ence as a lawyer makes her primed to take on this issue with a fresh approach and said “those simple solutions of lock em’ up and give them harsher penalties don’t actu ally benefit us in the long run.”
“We know there’s a high correla tion between crime and poverty, when economic opportunities and job opportunities, crimes, espe cially property and theft crimes go up,” she said, adding she sup ports more restorative measures and providing better services for people to transition out of the criminal justice system.
Despite the county’s shift to wards Democrats in past elections, Campbell-Swanson said she envi sions a close race, one she can’t win “without unaffiliated voters.”
Having grown up as a Republican in Kansas before switching parties, Campbell-Swanson said under stands the different areas of the political spectrum, believes parties can work together and will “serve everyone if elected.”
“The role of government is to create the context and circum stances for people to thrive, and to be healthy and to succeed,” she said.

If we want to get a hold on this drug epidemic that is killing so many … then we have to get back to commonsense policing.”
Still, Edling said he is supportive of harm reduction measures to combat fentanyl, such as testing strips and naloxone — an overdosereducing drug he wants all officers to continue to carry.
While he sees a need for criminal punishment, Edling said he under stands how other resources and programs can help lessen addictions that may turn deadly.

“There’s all kinds of alternative ways that we can help people that we serve than just arresting people and putting them in jail,” Edling said.
Edling also wants to see more po lice presence at schools, especially with the ever-present threat of mass shootings. He called the May 24 shooting at an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas — which left 21 people dead — a “tragedy.”
“I have the utmost confidence that that would not happen in the Denver metro area for any of our men or women who wear blue,” Edling said of the Uvalde police response, which received national criticism after officers took a long time to enter
be more about saving lives.
“Fentanyl is an absolute tsunami, and there’s no one who can hold that back,” Liva said. “Anything on the street right now is deadly, it’s not a high anymore it’s a ticket to the morgue.”
Investing in more communitybased resources for harm reduction, such as providing fentanyl testing strips and overdose-reducing drugs like Narcan, is a better use of police funding than criminalization, Liva said.
“We have to be realistic, people are going to take this stuff and we have to do what we can to prevent them from dying,” he said, adding
the building to confront the active shooter.
Edling’s plan for avoiding such an event is to institute a “random anti-violence measure program” in which sheriff’s office deputies would be called to schools at random times to train and prepare for an active shooter.
“The first time my deputies step foot into a school in their service area will not be during a crisis,” Edling said. “Unfortunately, the majority of violence that happens against our schools are because it’s a soft target. We need to make them a hard target.”
The Republican candidate has drawn a contrast with his Demo cratic opponent, incumbent sheriff Tyler Brown, on whether the county needs a new jail, which was built in 1986 and has been retrofitted to house more than three times its original capacity. Brown has said the current one is an aging facility
harsher penalties for fentanyl possession “do not act as a deterrent at all.”
“Once we contact those people, hopefully, we can get them into some social services … locking them up overnight might help for a shortterm solution but that’s not a longterm solution,” Liva said.
Ultimately, Liva said he is ener gized by what he sees as a portion of voters desperate for a change. Younger voters, especially, could help him in his bid for sheriff, Liva said.
“I’m another option, I think all candidates will do a good job, they’re all good people,” he said.
that does not meet the needs of a modern population.
Edling said: “I don’t want the nicest jail in the state of Colorado, I want a jail that provides a safe work ing environment for my deputies and a safe housing environment that houses the inmates who are doing their time.”
Edling also said the current jail has been half empty, with only around 700 inmates incarcerated last year — during the ongoing coronavirus pandemic — despite having 1,458 beds. This year, how ever, Brown said the jail has housed around 950 people, which is twothirds capacity.
As a national reckoning on race and policing continues following the 2020 Black Lives Matter protests, calls for more law enforcement ac countability has also grown. Edling said he “will hold all deputies
EDLING,
accountable to those policies and procedures that are transparent” but believes slogans like “defund the police” have had a “horrific impact” on police morale and staffing.
“We have to be supported, we have to be educated and proper training and we have to fund those who keep us safe,” Edling said.
Edling’s own department faced criticism in July when Denver po lice opened fire in a crowded street in downtown Denver, injuring six people. Several victims were not
initially told by police they were shot and probe has been opened into officers’ actions — who said they were shooting at an armed suspect in the area who they believed posed “a significant threat.”
Edling, who was not on scene for that event, called it a “tragic inci dent” and said he believes officers are responsible “for each and every round that gets discharged from a firearm.”
“We have to ensure the officers are competent, that the officers are well trained,” he said, adding residents must also “understand when you make mistakes. None of us our per fect, policing is not perfect, I am not perfect, but I will own up to it.”
a citizens advisory committee and taking part in a national accredi tation system known as CALEA.
That system opens office policies and procedures to an annual outside reviews on-site every four years.
Brown said the Arapahoe office has attained triple crown accreditation under four different sheriffs, a trend he pledged to continue.
Of other more recent account ability measures, such as a re quirement for all police depart ments in Colorado to wear body cameras by 2023, Brown said the Arapahoe office has been ahead of the curve — having cameras since at least 2013.
“If your police work or profes sionalism changes because you’re wearing a body-worn camera, then you weren’t doing it right in the first place,” he said.
That policy was one of several to pass in a sprawling police reform package enacted by Colorado law makers in response to the Black Lives Matter protests sparked by George Floyd’s murder by former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin. The law also made body camera footage more accessible and essentially ended qualified immunity for officers — opening them up to more financial jeop ardy from civil lawsuits.
While Brown said he did not feel the law had a negative impact on his office’s ability to hire and retain officers, he did have con cerns with earlier proposals and said his negotiations with law makers at the time helped remedy those issues. One example was capping the amount that can be levied against officers at $25,000, down from $55,000, which Brown said was too much of a financial burden for what is “a middle-class job.”
Lobbying for amendments to state policy is something Brown said he would continue to be open to, such as potential changes to the state’s fentanyl law that passed this May. While some ele ments of the bill were a boon for
law enforcement, such as nearly $20 million for bulk purchases of the overdose-reducing drug nal oxone, Brown said other aspects could make it harder to pursue fentanyl charges, such as stopping short of making any possession of fentanyl a felony — no matter how small.
“We heard a lot at the capitol that we were going to be ‘punish ing the use,’” Brown said, add ing that while he understands the need for harm reduction and empathy for users of small fentanyl amounts, he also wants more leeway to pursue charges for “distributors of this poison.”
Running as a Democrat in a county that has consistently shift ed blue in past elections, Brown said he “feels good about the race” but would lead as an “apolitical sheriff.”
“When 911 goes off, we don’t ask are you Democrat or Republican, we ask what is the emergency,” he said.
Brown faced controversy last year when he was seen on film fighting with several other men at Pindustry, a bar, restaurant and entertainment venue in Green wood Village. Brown said he was defending his wife after she was repeatedly harassed. Brown did not face any charges for the inci dent but in a statement, District Attorney Beth McCann called his actions “irresponsible and unpro fessional.”
“Looking at that I would’ve hoped it could have gone a dif ferent way,” Brown said. “As a citizen, I have a right to defend in dividuals who are being harassed. Protecting my family is important for me.”
Brown said it is his commitment to family — who he had helped raise in Arapahoe County — that makes him right to continue the job of sheriff.
“I ultimately think that’s a huge driving force to my success to this point … because I’m committed to making sure that Arapahoe County is a safe place to live, work, play, raise your family,” he said. “I’m committed to serving all of Arapahoe County because my family demands that.”

Leo Krause, 10, can’t help but smile while snuggling with one of his two family dogs, Louie, a mini Australian Labradoodle. It’s one of the many strategies he uses to calm himself after being diagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder or ADHD when he was 7 years old.
“It feels like it’s hard for me to focus sometimes. I just want to move around all the time, and it’s hard for me to sit still,” Krause explained.
He received help with his ADHD through a program that’s now free and online called “Unstuck and On Target.” It was developed by researchers through Children’s Hospital Colorado to improve the executive functioning of elementary-aged school children with ADHD and/or Autism Spectrum Disorder.
Executive functions come from the frontal lobe of the brain and involve things like paying attention, problem-solving, emotional regulation, planning, impulse control and setting goals. When left unaddressed, challenges with these traits can create barriers to success for
many children.
Leo’s mom, Jodi Krause, says the program has been a game changer for their entire family.
“Having a child who struggles with attention and having a child who struggles with anxiety can create obstacles that you want to be able to get ahead of, but as parents, we kind of react in the moment. So that’s really challenging,” she added, saying that the strategies taught in the Unstuck and on Target curriculum continue to help Leo function like any other 10-year-old boy. “A change in Leo from the program that I’ve noticed is that he’s way more willing to put into words the things that his body is feeling.”
Laura Anthony, Ph.D., is a psychologist at Children’s Hospital Colorado, a professor of psychology at the University of Colorado School of Medicine and one of the researchers who developed the online curriculum for the program. It can be done in school with educators and at home with kids and their parents and/or caregivers
“We want all kids as they’re growing to be at their most optimum developmental trajectory. We want them to do and be their best,” she explained, adding that free access is the key. “From the beginning, we wanted to create a community-based program that would reach all the kids and families who needed it.”
According to the Centers for Disease Control, between the years of 2016 and 2019, 6 million children from the ages of 3 to 17 were
diagnosed with ADHD, while one in 44 children are diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder. “Kids with either Autism or ADHD have particular difficulties with executive functioning skills and [that’s why] we designed this intervention for them,” added Anthony.
Leo told Rocky Mountain PBS some of the strategies he’s learned in the program include walking away from tense situations, taking deep breaths and thinking happy thoughts. His favorite coping mechanism? Squeezing a lemon when he’s
feeling anxious.
“I feel a lot different. I’m able to calm myself down more,” he explained.
Jodi says these days Leo can be fully himself; a boy who’s compassionate and empathetic. A boy who loves his dogs, his family, friends, playing soccer, mountain biking and skiing.

October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month and I have seen plenty of social media posts and PSAs circulating with phone numbers and websites about how the victims can get help. In seeing them – I am always glad they are there.
EDITOR’S COLUMN
However, there is also this twinge of pain. There are strong moments of sadness for me and I’m sure others in the same boat. You see, many of us have a family member or friend who may be victims of domestic violence, but the phone numbers and websites mean nothing because they do not use them.
I am talking about the men and women who may be in an abusive situation but they continually decide to stay, take it and suffer.
Thelma GrimesFor family members and friends watching this happen we too suffer. We all know we would step in and help at the drop of a hat. We all hold our breath as we know that one day we will get the call saying things went too far and the person we love is hurt or dead.
Sound harsh? It is harsh. It sounds that way because it is reality. We know that all the efforts to talk sense are falling to the wayside and we often lose the small battles to the abuser who, for reasons we cannot figure, continues to win the war.
Statistics provided by the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence say this about victims:
On average, nearly 20 people per minute are physically abused by an intimate partner in the U.S. During one year, this equates to more than 10 million women and men. One in four women and one in nine men experience severe intimate partner physical violence, intimate partner contact sexual violence, and/or intimate partner stalking with impacts such as injury, fearfulness, posttraumatic stress disorder, use of victim services, contraction of sexually transmitted diseases, etc. On a typical day, there are more than 20,000 phone calls placed to domestic violence hotlines nationwide. Women between the ages of 18-24 are most commonly abused by an intimate partner. Only 34% of people who are injured by intimate partners receive medical care for their injuries.
According to SafeLives, an organization aimed at ending domestic violence, it can take years for a victim to even seek help. And when they do seek help for that first time, it likely ends with a phone call but could take another year or more for the victim to be serious.
On average, SafeLives estimates that a victim can be hurt physically 50 times or more before thinking about getting help.
Domestic violence has a far-reaching affect on so many lives and our communities. For those who have to stand on the sidelines because legally there is nothing you can do – I feel for all of you. I say be strong and never lose hope.
We all have to believe that a good outcome is possible.

She vacillated for months. Her boss was micromanaging everything that she and her team were doing. Never satisfied with anything that was produced by anyone on the team, her boss felt compelled to change even the smallest of details. It was a blind spot for the leader for sure, and unfortunately demoralizing to the entire team.
When she found what she thought was the right opportunity to discuss this blind spot with her boss, hoping it would make a change, she unfortunately found herself on the receiving end of even tighter scrutiny and micromanagement, eventually ending in her termination.
He was experiencing some erosion of trust with his friend. The friend began acting and behaving in a way that was outside their normal behavior. As the behavior became increasingly amplified, he began wondering what the truth was and what were lies any time that his friend shared a story. He invited his friend to meet for breakfast one morning to talk about it.
Defensiveness was their shield. His friend took offense at what was being shared, so much so that they got up and left. As he sat their wondering if he had made the right call to bring this change in behavior to his friend of more than 20 years, his first feeling was regret. That feeling quickly gave way to relief as he knew the conversation had to happen. To this day they have not spoken, and the hopes are that his friend has made some changes in their life, wherever they may be today.
There was a deep family secret. Something that was held onto for a very long time. So many opportunities to get the skeleton out of the closet, yet too many excuses about why it was never the right time. Then one day the truth was shared, the skeleton set free from its chains. Thinking that finally the air would be cleared, knowing it might take time for the family and friends to understand, they believed all would eventually be OK and the sins of

the past forgiven. It was not to be, not yet anyway. The truth and pain were too much. Those secrets hidden for so long brought too much current-day pain.
The truth will set us free. For those of us hearing the truth, I guess sometimes it depends on if we are ready to handle the truth. For those delivering the truth, it truly is freedom.
How often have we wished we could say exactly what is on our mind? Probably more than we can count on our fingers and toes. We remain quiet, but why? Political correctness? Maybe we don’t want to hurt a family member, friend, peer or employer. The issue could be so white-hot that anything we say will possibly be misconstrued and the tables turned on us. We might stay quiet because we fear being canceled, shut out, unfriended or blocked on social media.
Here’s the real question, as the examples above were about real people who shared their stories and experienced negative repercussions. The question is, the title of this column, can we handle the truth? We live in a world of chaos, corruption, and lies. Chaos, corruption, and lies that companies, politicians, television, social media and people will justify because they believe it is for our greater good. Is it? Is it really? We cannot manage what we do not know. Maybe it’s not our place to manage it anyway. But we all want the truth. Can we handle it?
Who is the arbiter of truth? For me, I find it through my faith, as it is the way, the truth, and the life. Even for my many, many sins of the past, by the way probably the record holder of sins, I know that the truth comes from one source, our God. I would love to hear your story of handling the truth at gotonorton@gmail.com, and when we can get to a place where we can handle the truth, no matter how hard it is, it really will be a better than good life.

The way we conduct business after COVID has changed forever. Business owners continue to struggle to find good employees and customers in this new “flex” work world.
One of the biggest challenges continues to be consolidation and business closures. However, few are prepared for these changes.
Maybe you were a fan of Banana Republic downtown, or Echo Lake Gift Shop and Lodge Restaurant.
Perhaps you purchased a car from Rocky’s Autos or furniture from Larrabee’s over the last 40 years.
There are hundreds of well-known, longstanding businesses shuttering. It could be a COVID hangover, or higher rents and a labor shortage.
Or you could be part of the mass of baby boomers wanting to retire and transition their business.
This is why the State of Colorado Office of Economic Development and International Trade, and the
I just finished reading your story about the Senior Safety Symposium in Englewood on Sept. 21. It was a very well written article partially explaining why the Rocky Mountain Railroad Heritage Society joined with the City of Englewood, Parks, Recreation and Library to create the symposium.
Our railroad society feels we need to be involved with any community we are in, regardless if it is railroadoriented or not. The symposium has proved popular in Englewood as the attendance has increased and we have had a lot of positive feedback. It is our hope that this event will be a continuous occurrence for many years to come. We also hope to see this expand to other towns in Colorado.
I would like to give credit to those whose help ensured the success of the program. First, Cheryl Adamson who worked tirelessly for both of the years of the symposiums. She was the guiding influence for the quality of the speakers and the topics presented. Sadly she moved on to another job a week prior to the symposium. We wish her the very best in the future and know she will be a great success.
Shelly Fitz-Pelley did a yeoman’s job of filling the void left with Cheryl’s departure. If it wasn’t for Shelly the way the presentations were presented would not have been half as interesting as they were. Filling in for the vacancy created by Cheryl’s departure would have been a difficult task at best for anyone, but Shelly did a credible and noteworthy job of overseeing the presentations.
The volunteers who helped answer questions and assist the patrons made the symposium a friendly and welcoming event. Allison Boyd, Michelle Smith, Sheri Crabtree, Ida May Nicholl and Bonnie Gehringer deserve a lot of the credit for the casual and relaxed atmosphere.
Allison Boyd is to be thanked for allowing the city’s participation for these last few years. Without her assistance
Exit Planning Institute launched a Business Owner Readiness Survey to help business owners determine how to exit from their business. This survey indicated that 70% of respondents would like to sell in 10 years, referred to as the “Silver Tsunami.”
It is always better to plan and be prepared then find out in a lurch that your lease is not being renewed or your talent pool has gone off to find themselves. Entrepreneurs are a different breed. They eat, sleep, and breathe their business 24/7. It is a life choice but also a life cycle that eventually comes to an end.
“Having a plan to transition prior to an exit enables the owner to unlock the wealth of the business and create the future and legacy a business owner envisioned,” Robert Lee, CFP explained. Lee is involved with the Exit Planning Institute where they help businesses prepare an exit strategy. The recent survey results from the Business Owner Readiness Survey state that:
Seventy percent of companies put on the market today fail. Six in 10 respondents indicated that they had no exit planning advice or educa-
the Senior Safety Symposium might not have happened.
A thank you to all the merchants who supported the symposium with door prizes. Hopefully there will be another one next year. For senior safety is the main reason for these symposiums.
Jim Jordan. President, Rocky Mountain Railroad Heritage Society Englewood Don’t stand with Democrats
In response to the “Stand with Democrats” letter that ran Oct. 6:
Biden is the worst president we’ve ever had. I guess people that vote for Democrats don’t like $2 gas, low inflation, low unemployment, telling the truth or secure borders. Biden walked into low inflation, low gas prices, energy independence and open schools, but he and his party had to screw everything up.
Over 2.5 million migrants have illegally entered through our southern border with nearly 1 million “got aways.” They travel hundreds of miles with a plastic bag and most are single, military age males. Where are they all going? We know it’s not Martha’s Vineyard because the migrants who were sent there were bused out quickly. New York and D.C. have done but complain about the migrants, yet they are “sanctuary cities.” Speaking of New York and other big blue cities, violent crime has risen nearly 40%, yet the Democrats want to “defund,” vote radical Soros DAs into office and take away U.S. citizens’ guns.
Inflation and high gas prices are not worldwide problems, they are now but since day 1 in office gas prices and inflation have risen. We went from a country that was energy independent with hundreds of years in reserve, to a country that now begs Saudi Arabia and Venezuela for barrels of gas. I could go on and on about the wrongs of the current administration, and as long as people vote for lies they’ll stay in office.
John Couf Highlands Ranchtion. And 68% were either unsure or didn’t know of the transition options available to them. Lee further stated, “When business owners connect the concept that an exit strategy is a business strategy, they are more likely to embrace their decision to transition.”
Business owners find it challenging to be personally ready to transition. Owners often struggle to envision life after the business while focusing on growing their business. When asked in the survey “how ready the owner considered themselves personally for a major transition of their company,” 84% of the respondents said they were below average, or they were not ready at all for their personal transition from their company.
It is crucial for business owners to integrate business planning with personal and financial planning to increase the likelihood that their exit will be successful.
The Exit Planning Institute encourages business owners to take a holistic and focused approach to align the critical elements necessary to prepare for transition. Steps can include:
• Learn about the options on how to transition a business.
• Obtain a business valuation.
• Envision the next phase of your life.
• Establish an advisory team with your CPA, attorney, and financial advisor.
There is usually a better success rate and smooth succession when you have time to plan, choose your advisors and develop your successors. No one likes an emergency exit. Planning ahead will help in your day-to-day operations as well as give you a roadmap to guide you through the next steps.
There are resources to help you improve your readiness and advisors to help with financial reviews and valuations. Now is the time to prepare for your own future, even if it is many years away. You don’t want to be caught off-guard, and not be able to protect your legacy, family, and employees.

Painter and muralist Eli Pillaert, a New Orleans native, spent a part of her formative years working as a Colorado ski instructor, teaching kids at Eldora Mountain Ski Resort.
But it was the summers spent hiking around the area that left her inspired.
“This one plant, the mountain mahogany, kept popping up. It’s so beautiful. It has spiraling pieces with little fluffy bits on them,” Pillaert said.
So, when she was selected by Adams County’s Cultural Arts Division to help bring some color to county open spaces, that’s where she looked.
“It’s local flora and fauna. It’s something that people see and could connect with. It’s exactly why I went with this design,” she said.
Pillaert is one of 15 national artists who are having their designs unveiled across Adams County this fall.
But it’s not a gallery show and you don’t need tickets to see any of them. All you need is a little time and some decent walking shoes.
Pillaert’s design, featuring long swooping branches and colorful fluff, is now a part of the county’s Clear Creek Trail at Twin Lakes Park, along 70th Avenue just west of Broadway.
Other designs featuring other artists and their inspirations are spread across the county’s trail system — not on the walls or entrances to tunnels but on the trails themselves.
It’s part of the county’s “Love Your Trails” series. Adams County is about halfway through the series, bringing colorful murals and designs highlighting the county’s natural resources and environment to those walking paths.
“Adams County has been dedicated to the arts for quite a while now,” said Adams County Cultural Arts Liaison Zoe Ocampo.
Adams County started its parks and open space Cultural Arts Division within the Arts and Cultural Department in 2019. Ocampo said arts and culture are part of a vision for Adams County to expand public art in its communities that
calls for increased spending on displays everyone can enjoy.
“It won’t just be new buildings, it will be parks, trails and also all different kinds of projects throughout the county that are deemed eligible,” she said.
Ocampo said that 50 artists from around the country applied to be part of the Love Your Trails project. The county’s Visual Arts Commission, a nine-member board of community volunteers, selected the final 15.
Pillaert said the artists were given the opportunity to include the community in the project. Hers is the only one of the eight completed so far that did that.
“The community element is part of organizing the mural so that it can be painted by the community,” Pillaert said. “It’s something that’s really near and dear to my heart. It’s something that’s really cool to see people connect through art.”
South Florida’s Stephanie Leyden made her mural theme of the four seasons. It’s also located on the Clear Creek Trail along Tennyson Street and north of 54th Avenue.
She painted summer elements transitioning into fall, winter, and spring and added designs she associated with the state — butterflies flying, animal tracks, wildflowers and changing colors of leaves as they have blown off the trees.
“It’s something we don’t have in South Florida. The seasons are here, they’re just not as obvious,” Leyden said. “With each season, I painted four butterflies, four leaves, four types of animal tracks and four wildflowers. It was fun.”
Leah Nguyen is from Seattle and her mural was more specific.
Called “Community Vision: Bennett, CO,” it’s located in Bennett’s Civic Center Park off of South Street.
Nguyen’s patterns depict small-town life, farmers growing corn, sunflowers, hay and wheat in the surrounding areas. The patterns connect generations of families to preserve the town’s history.
“I created the Community Vision pattern to provide support for communities that are doing the difficult work of excavating their histories, having dialogues and taking actions toward reconciliation, healing old wounds, and visioning new ways to come together and collaboratively thrive,” Nguyen said. “The pattern makes sense there at Bennett City Hall, which holds space for visionary civic work and community building conversations.”
Northampton, Massachusetts artist Kim Carlino calls her mural “Portals
FROM
for Looking Inward.” It’s located in Strasburg Community Park. Her mural is an illusion of depth and volume occupying space in a two-dimensional surface with color that is expressive.
“I had this idea for a path coming across these portals or ovals reflecting the night sky with colorful Candy Land-like pathways that flow in and out of the portals as if they were going underneath the path and coming up the other side to give a sense of playfulness and movement,” Carlino said. “I love this idea of moving through space and coming across something that makes you take pause, and in that pause you can reflect.”
Traveling artist Kerry Cesen went small with his work. He said he lives in several places, including Maryland, Oregon and Washington state. His mural continues along the Clear Creek trail and is located just west of Lowell Boulevard along West 55th Place.
Cesen dives into the roots of the smallest species as though you are looking through a microscope. He illustrates the natural world beneath our feet.
“It emphasizes the interactions between plants, animals, aquatic life, and fungal growth,” Cesen said. “Several magnified areas within the design allow us a deeper glimpse into the micro-world, where scientific research and design techniques help inform viewers about some of the smaller parts that make up the whole.”
Clearwater, Florida artist Beth Warmath’s mural is inspired by the Colorado landscape and two notable flowers: Sunflowers in the fields and the Colorado columbine.
“I love nature and its perfect beauty, so I challenge myself to recreate it larger than life. I draw from actual objects so I
used the surrounding landscape for my inspiration,” Warmath said. “I was happy to see wildlife in its natural habitat such as fox, elk, chipmunks and bison.”
Paz de la Calzada is originally from Spain but has lived in the San Francisco Bay area for 18 years. Calzada’s mural is located at Riverdale Regional Park in Brighton near the South Platte River. It’s an abstract design that keeps flowing, intertwining with the landscape and river.
“The landscape inspired me with the color of green flowing with nature and the color of blue metaphor flowing with the river both intersecting together, and both need each other water needs nature and nature needs water,” Calzada said.
Milwaukee artist Theresa Sahar researched the Adams County area and learned that trout fishing is a popular sport in Colorado. That became the centerpiece of her mural, which is located along the South Platte Trail just east of Riverdale Dunes Golf Course and the county’s Fishing is Fun Pond. It features a realistically rendered fish leaping off of the trail.
“I’ve done some anamorphic (3D) chalk art pieces in downtown Milwaukee and decided it would be a fun and interesting addition to the Love Your Trails project,” Sahar said.
Adams County’s Ocampo said the remaining murals should be finished this fall, at least before the snow falls. The additional artists selected to work on their mural scheduled for painting are Toni Ardizzone, Sofi Ramiez, Wes Abarca, Keeley Hertzel, Eye Cough, Angela Beloian and Julio Juls Mendoza.

October is upon us! Which means pumpkin spice lattes, apple cider, skeletons, ghosts, and Estate Planning! That’s right, its Estate Planning Awareness Month. Each year during the month of October we remind our community how important it is to ensure that your Estate Planning Goals are met.
One of the most common things amongst all client worries is centered around Probate. So, what is Probate?
Probate is the judicial process in which your Will is “proven” in court, and the court gives its stamp of approval. These are known as the Letters Testamentary. Probate typically occurs in the County of the State in which you reside. The Executor is the person that is then appointed by your Will to wrap or up administer the Will. This sounds well and good, but Probate can be a disaster for many. Below are a few things to remember.
1) To start off, a Probate in the State of Colorado must be open for a minimum of 6 months and a maximum of 36 months.
2) Creditors to the Estate must be notified of someone’s passing.
3) Everything in the decedent’s name at the time of their death must go through probate.
4) Only the elected or appointed Personal Representative/Fiduciary has the legal authority to begin administering the Estate.
These things can be extremely difficult to remember, and even more difficult for your fiduciary to handle. Not only is the fiduciary dealing with the stress of the court, but they are likely grieving from the loss of a loved one as well.
Contact the Davis Schilken, PC team to learn more about what you can do to ensure that your estate plan is set up to help avoid the probate process and that all your wishes are being carried out the way that you would like them to be (303)670-9855.
We offer no obligation in person or virtual meetings. We make estate planning simple!

The Littleton Fine Arts Guild has opened an appealing new exhibit of artworks by guild members, called “Americana,” at the Depot Art Gallery, housed in a historic Santa Fe Railroad depot at 2069 W. Powers Ave. in downtown Littleton.
“Americana” fills the inviting old red building that once served as a Santa Fe Railway depot, conveying Littleton residents to their chosen trains, with painted and photographic images of landscapes, cityscapes, happy and thoughtful people — some solo and others interacting — and various other subjects drawn from artists’ imagination.
A fence decorated with old cowboy boots is a different view of things Western. And then, my eyes focused on the tiny, red velvety, preciselystitched “Queen of Pomegranates” in an ornate frame, near a colorful group of small purses meant to protect that ever-present phone ...
The exhibit also includes an assortment of fine crafts — ceramics, jewelry and glass — and will run through Nov. 6.
The juror was watercolorist and teacher Dan Marshall, who is nationally recognized for his fine paintings. Visitors to the gallery should look to the left of the entry door for an example of his subtlycolored artwork. He has published several books on technique and is a highly-skilled painter, using a difficult medium.
A mixed media piece called “The Community” by member Bobbi Shupe hangs by the stairway up to the platform, with subtle colors and composition, and we will include award-winners in a future article, since Marshall had just returned from California travel and had not yet decided on them when we visited on Oct. 11.
Of particular note: Carole Broere’s “Falling Leaves,” a sculptural ceramic work, enhanced by Raku technique, an ancient Japanese way of treating/firing clay, which adds a metallic glow that changes as one walks around it. Almost hypnotizing! Broere also exhibits a pair of ceramic masks in the back room that merit attention.
“The Community,” a mixed media/photo collage by Bobbi Shupe, is included in the new exhibit, “Americana,” at the Depot Art Gallery, 2069 W. Powers Ave., Littleton.
PHOTO BY JON KITNERThe Depot Art Gallery is located at 2069 W. Powers Ave., northwest of the old courthouse on Littleton Boulevard. It is open from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesday through Sunday. Admission is free and exhibits change every month to six weeks.
While enjoying the back-room space, note paintings on the wall by Bonella Hererra and jewelry by Christine Johnson. Both are named “Artist of the Month” by fellow guild members. (In past years, there was only one “Artist of the Month,” but LFAG members have decided to name two, offering extra recognition to different skills.)
On the baggage platform in the front room and on the floor of the rear room, there are large round racks, filled with beautifully designed colored notecards by guild members. These are a real pleasure to use for all sorts of greetings and are a small gift to the recipient in each case. Pick out a handful for family and friends and bypass the drugstore and grocery racks.
Dan Marshall said his “work is greatly influenced by living in the American West.” He is currently based in Denver, although he grew up on the East Coast and has lived in California. He teaches for art groups across the country and has been featured in Southwest Art, Watercolor Artist, American Art Collector and Plein Air Magazine.

They’re your everyday, normal family who love each other as every family does. But things get weird when Wednesday Addams, the ultimate princess of darkness, brings her “normal” boyfriend and his respectable parents home to meet… The Addams Family. Join us for a comical, musical feast that will raise your spirits, steal your hearts, and leave you in stitches.
Magical realism is one of the most difficult genres to tackle – blending the recognizable with the mystical is a fine line to walk.
For the first production of the Arvada Center Black Box Theatre’s 2022-2023 season, audiences are treated to a show that takes them to a small Brazilian fishing town, where a mysterious man is pulled from the Amazon River. What ensues is a stirring adventure that delves into the topic of family and more.
“The River Bride” runs at the center, 6901 Wadsworth Blvd. in Arvada, through Sunday, Nov. 6.
We spoke to director Jamie Ann Romero about the show, what she hopes audiences take away from it and more:
Interview edited for brevity and clarity.
-What drew you to directing “The River Bride”?
I had the great privilege of acting in the 2016 world premiere of “The River Bride” at the Oregon Shakespeare Festival. It was there I fell in love with Marisela Treviño Orta’s beautiful play and her continued body of work. “The River Bride” is about being brave in love, what happens when you are and what
happens when you aren’t. It’s a play that asks you to take a leap of faith.
-What is the show about?
The playwright calls “The River Bride” a “cautionary folk tale for adults.” It’s set on the Amazon River in Brazil and focuses on the myth that every June “botos,” or pink river dolphins, are given three days to venture on land and find their true love
-Tell me about the cast?
The cast of this production is remarkable. I feel immensely lucky to have worked with an entire cast of Latine actors that bring their culture and years of experience to the stage. This play is centered around a family that love each other deeply but are struggling with secrets and broken promises and a stranger who comes ashore and changes everything. This cast has bonded together like a true family and the love they have for one another carries onto the stage. They act with depth and honesty and it is thrilling to watch them discover the play night after night.
-Tell me about bringing magical realism to the stage?
I would be nowhere without my brilliant design team; David J. Castellano (scenic and costume design), Kate Bashore (lighting design) and Jason Ducat (sound design). These artists brought the Amazon to the Black Box Theatre and they also brought the magic. We treated the “magical realism” moments as if they were the heightened moments you experience in
real life.
-What do you most hope audiences come away with?
I think anyone who has experienced love in their life and its many beautiful, painful facets is going to find themselves somewhere within this story. I hope our audiences leave the theater reminded of the power of love and the ability within themselves to choose it, accept it and believe it. I hope you leave our darkened theater, our piece of the Amazon, with a sense of magic.

One of the seminal music moments of my life comes at the end of Sofia Coppola’s masterpiece, “Lost in Translation.” As the two main characters say a mysterious and moving goodbye, The Jesus and Mary Chain’s “Just Like Honey,” kicks in. Those booming drums, reverb-drenched guitars and faraway vocals just grabbed my imagination and have never fully let go.
Although the Scottish group hasn’t released a new record since 2017’s “Damage and Joy,” they have plenty of dreamy alt-pop rockers to perform when they play the Paramount Theatre, 1621 Glenarm Place in Denver, at 8 p.m. on Sunday, Oct. 23.
Their music fits the season perfectly, so get your tickets at www. ticketmaster.com.

and congestion; (3) Create mul timodal connections such as for pedestrian and bicycle lanes
Projects include widening pe destrian and sidewalk lanes and bridges, creating and modernizing bike lanes, paving walking paths, connecting trails and expanding pedestrian access to transit sites — such as the RTD light rail station near Mineral Avenue.
“We want to get more people out biking and walking and utilizing the trail system versus being in their car, driving along this corri dor,” said Aaron Heumann, traffic engineering manager for the City of Littleton.
The plan also capitalized on a slew of public outreach, including a survey two virtual public events, according to Jacob Southard, an
engineer with CDOT.
“We did hear a lot from the public about how Santa Fe is a barrier in the community and it’s really tough for folks to cross that barrier to access goods and services on either side,” Southard said.
Funding for Santa Fe projects both in and outside Littleton could cost as much as $20 million, of which $5 million to $10 million has already been said to come through CDOT’s FASTER Safety fund — which pulls money from the department, coun ties and local municipalities.

George Rykovich was the football coach at Manitou Springs High School for 36 years. The Mustangs won two, class 2A football titles during that time. Rykovich ran the single-wing offense; CHSAA’s statement said the offense was “wellknown but rarely beaten.” Coaches around the country call on him for advice, even in retirement.

The induction ceremony is set for Monday, Jan. 23.
event “Stronger Together,” the first time the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office has participated in the National Faith and Blue Weekend, which occurred Oct. 7 through Oct. 10.
Faith and Blue, which began in 2020, aims to create safer and more just communities by connecting residents to law enforcement though faith-based organizations, according to the Faith and Blue website.
An estimated 2,500 activities took place across the U.S. during the weekend, said Chuck Stecker, a pastor at Summit Church.
The Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office event included a community forum, moderated by Stecker, featuring four panelists: Arapahoe County Sheriff Tyler Brown, civil rights attorney Qusair Mohamedbhai, Arapahoe County Sgt. Edred Bryan and Omar Montgomery, the president of the Aurora branch of the NAACP.
“To say we’re broken in this nation, I think, would be an understatement,” Stecker said, explaining the importance of asking tough questions.
When asked how the sheriff’s office can help build trust and understanding to unite the community, Brown said he believes it starts with conversations like these.
“It’s incumbent upon us to be the one that reaches out. I think we’re so used to coveying up as law enforcement and kind of having this mentality of us versus them. And it’s not,” Brown said. “I need to make sure that our agency is aware that it’s community spirit and it’s community engagement that changes that narrative of distrust.”
Brown said the sheriff’s office will be the first to own it if a mistake is made, and it’s imperative for other law enforcement agencies to step up and own the things they do wrong.
Being open to having hard conversations is also important, he said, noting he has had hard conversations with Montgomery and Mohamedbhai.
Mohamedbhai works in the areas of plaintiff’s employment discrimination and constitutional civil rights litigation, Stecker said.
He recently represented the mother of Elijah McClain, a 23-yearold man who died in 2019 after he was injected with ketamine while being restrained by Aurora officers, the Colorado Sun reported.
Mohamedbhai is also representing the family of Christian Glass, a 22-year-old man who was fatally shot by a Clear Creek County deputy in June.
“I come at this at a little bit of a different perspective about holding law enforcement accountable when they make mistakes,” Mohamedbhai said. “At the end of the day, I think all of us just want safety, prosperity and peace in our communities.”
In March 2019 in New Zealand, a gunman attacked two mosques and killed 51 people.
Mohamedbhai — the general counsel of the Colorado Muslim Society, a mosque in Arapahoe County — did not know Sheriff Brown at the time, he said, but he called him in middle of the night and said he was very concerned about copycats.
“And Sheriff Brown said, ‘I’m on it,’” Mohamedbhai said, explaining when he went to the mosque that morning around 7 a.m., he saw Brown in uniform manning the doors. “That is a restoration of trust. That is faith and blue.”
Mohamedbhai, who lives in Arapahoe County, said his children attend Cherry Creek School District.
“Unfortunately, as many communities of color have to do, I have to teach my children resiliency and street smarts during traffic stops, how to not get shot, how to come home safe,” he said.
Montgomery, who serves as the director of equity, culture and community engagement for the Cherry Creek School District, was 10 years old when his father gave him a similar talk.
He said he is still going through a healing process from some of his experiences with police.
“When I was from the age of 12, until I was about 35 years old, I had an annual appointment with law enforcement I didn’t ask for,” he said.
“The day I graduated from college, I had a gun pulled on me by two LA — LAPD — police officers in front of my mother,” Montgomery said.
“Three years later, had a gun pulled on me in front of my stepmother and my little brothers and sisters. High school, (I) was put in a chokehold.”
He thought this was common police practice, he said, noting he has never been arrested.
“So for me, it starts with the individual officers on the streets.
That encounter can change a whole community,” Montgomery said. “We have to pray and work with each other, and it starts with the individual officer sometimes recognizing that that person is scared, nervous and terrified.”
Bryan said he gets nervous, too, when there is a police car behind him. He also sometimes gets scared when he has to confront certain situations as part of his job.
“For me, this conversation is of utmost importance. Obviously, I come from it from being a minority, but also being a police officer,” Bryan said. “It’s OK to be afraid, even officers, right? It’s OK to be afraid, we’re human.”
He said officers need an outlet to deal with their emotions, which for him is praying. Officers should also engage with the community they serve, he said.
“That’s how we get to problem solving is by knowing and understanding,” Bryan said. “We all need to come to the table and really listen to each other and hear what the other is saying.”
Brown said law enforcement officers have to be trained to look at people as individuals, and all the panelists emphasized the importance of having high standards of law enforcement officers.
“We have over 800 staff members who do the work each and every day,” Brown said. “I ask them to go out there and fight things that we shouldn’t see on a daily basis. And they do that with honor and integrity and the mindset that we are one community.”
Mohamedbhai said police officers and modern day policing are not equipped to deal with social issues like homelessness.
He said many law enforcement officers are still trained to meet social issues with force because that’s what is expected of them most of the time.
“We need to take these issues off their plate and let them focus on the

things that we need them to focus on,” Mohamedbhai said. “Police officers should be expected and held to a higher standard, and because of that, we should honor them by paying them a lot more, and we should honor them by having the resources they need.”
Multiple speakers noted that the event, which also featured a free lunch and representatives from different units in the sheriff’s office, was a starting point.
“It’s not just one day,” Brown said. “This is just the beginning of us crossing that bridge on a daily basis and having positive, strong conversations to make sure that this is a strong and safe community for all.”
