Japanese artist brings work to Littleton Museum

BY NINA JOSS NJOSS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

In traditional printmaking, an artist creates a design on wood, metal, stone or another material and transfers it onto a di erent surface, usually paper or fabric.

Denver-based Japanese artist Taiko Chandler lets her intuition, memories and emotion drive her printmaking practice, which allows her to use the medium in new and innovative ways.

A solo exhibition by Chandler titled “ oughtful Intuition” is on display at the Littleton Museum, showcasing monoprints, paintings, three-dimensional artwork and installations created through Chandler’s original processes.

“My process is very organic … also instinctive,” Chandler said. “( e) most important thing is just to be true to myself.”

Chandler’s unique process

After having traditional printmaking work on display at the museum recently, Curator of Patron Engage-

ment Moira Casey said Chandler’s unique use of the medium is a great way to show visitors the vast creativity that can exist within one type of art.

“Taiko’s work is so unique because of the material she uses,” said Moira Casey, curator of patron engagement at the museum. “She’s just very courageous with experimenting with

di erent materials.”

In addition to printing onto paper, Chandler uses Tyvek — a brand of synthetic, high-density, spunbound polyethylene bers most commonly used under a building’s exterior siding to protect the structure from moisture.

“ e big installation piece in this exhibit is actually a print on Tyvek and then she cuts out some of the pieces,” Casey said. “ en, she actually folds it up and manipulates it and pins it to the wall so it really becomes a 3-D, almost sculptural piece — (it) just doesn’t even look like a print.”

e result feels symbolic of the way people might experience some of their most deep-rooted memories, Casey wrote in a press release.

“Instead of having an exact visual picture or a structured outline of the experience, we recall the curve of sentiments felt in that space,” she wrote. “We sense the wispy dappling of a beautiful light, or the dense pull of a heavy sense of loss or sorrow. Chandler recreates the feeling of memory in a way that is both tangible and intangible simultaneously.”

Memories and emotion

Chandler said the main installation of the exhibit was inspired by a recent visit to Japan to visit her mother, who was sick. e colors represent the intensity of her emotions during that time and she incorporated artifacts of her mother’s calligraphy practice in the installation.

Her work usually begins abstract, but sometimes it grows to carry a larger message as she spends more time with the piece, she said.

“Sometimes memory comes up, or some emotion comes up, or some idea or thoughts come up,” she said.

Casey said this approach to Chandler’s artwork stands out to her.

“It’s sort of this balance of having a gut intuition about what she wants to do and how to make a piece feel balanced and beautiful, and also just sort of putting her energy into it and her emotion from what she’s experiencing at that time,” Casey said.

Casey said she hopes the exhibit shows visitors a new purpose of art.

“I really want people to understand that art can be a medium for emotional exploration and sort of working through visceral feelings and kind of responding to the environment and events that are occurring, for both personal and communal events,” she said.

Since visitors will not have lived through the same experiences and emotions as Chandler, she said she hopes her work makes people pause to wonder and be curious.

And with the abstract shapes and colors, she hopes it might even resonate with their personal memories, emotions or experiences in some way, too.

Chandler’s exhibit will be on display until Jan. 7.

e gallery is open 9 a.m. until 5 p.m. on Tuesdays through Saturdays and 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sundays. Admission is free.

e museum will also host a printmaking workshop on Nov. 15, which guests can register for at https:// www.museum.littletonco.gov/ Events-Programs/Events/WonderWednesday-Playing-with-Prints.

Centennial council to consider opposing Prop. HH

BY TAYLER SHAW TSHAW@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

On Oct. 17, the Centennial City Council will vote on whether to formally oppose Proposition HH, a statewide issue on the Nov. 7 ballot.

If passed, Proposition HH would reduce property taxes owed and allow the state to keep additional money that would otherwise be refunded to taxpayers, according to the state ballot information booklet, also called the Blue Book.

“ e changes in Proposition HH are in place until 2032, but the measure allows the state legislature to extend them without additional voter approval,” the Blue Book states.

During an Oct. 3 meeting, the council discussed the ballot measure and whether it should take a

position of advocacy on it.

Deputy City Attorney Christopher Price said the Colorado Municipal League decided to oppose Proposition HH and has asked members to consider adopting a resolution of opposition as well.

About 270 Colorado cities and towns are members of the Colorado Municipal League, including Centennial, according to the league’s website.

Price said the municipal league opposed the ballot measure because they believe it reduces local autonomy, it is unnecessarily di cult and complex to implement, and it could result in decreased revenue in the future for local governments.

Centennial Mayor Stephanie Piko said one of her concerns is that the city relies on special districts for a lot of services.

“I don’t know what this will do to our special districts, when I think of the re district, and parks and recs, (and) library,” Piko said.

Following some discussion, Council Member Mike Sutherland asked the council to vote on whether it wants to consider a resolution opposing Proposition HH.

e council voted 6-2, meaning six members wanted the council to consider the resolution of opposition and two did not.

Council Members Christine Sweetland and Marlo Alston voted against the motion. Council Member Candace Moon was absent and did not vote at the meeting.

“ e reason why I will not be supporting this motion is because I don’t know how I’m going to vote,” Sweetland said. “So, I’m not going to support a resolution for the city.”

Sweetland said she is undecided because the ballot measure provides property tax relief, allows a portable

senior homestead exemption, and she has heard of support from school superintendents.

She said she can also understand why the Colorado Municipal League is against it, and she has some concerns about what the measure means to re ghters and other special districts.

Ultimately, on Oct. 17, the council will vote on whether to pass a resolution opposing Proposition HH. A supermajority is needed, meaning that at least seven council members need to support the resolution for it to pass.

What is Proposition HH?

Proposition HH impacts taxpayers in two ways — lowering the amount they owe in property taxes and changing their TABOR refunds, according to the Blue Book.

Residents can use an online calculation tool to estimate how the combination of the property tax changes and TABOR refund changes would impact them. To access the tool, visit: hhcalc.apps.coleg.gov.

ose interested in reading the full Blue Book online can visit: bit. ly/23bluebook.

Lowering property taxes

Proposition HH would lower the assessment rates for residential property and most nonresidential property, according to the Blue Book.

It also would subtract a set amount from most properties’ values before applying the new assessment rates.  “Lower assessment rates and value reductions are estimated to reduce property taxes owed statewide by $400 million in 2024, $960 million in 2025, and $1,090 million in 2026,” the Blue Book states.

Proposition HH would allow people aged 65 and older who have previously quali ed for the senior homestead exemption to receive the same property tax bene t in any home they purchase and live in as their primary residence starting in 2025, according to the Blue Book.  e ballot measure also proposes creating a property tax revenue limit

for certain local governments, with the exception that school districts and home rule jurisdictions are not subject to the limit. Centennial is a home rule municipality.

e Blue Book said under this limit, many local governments “cannot collect property tax revenue above the amount they collected in the prior year plus in ation.”

A local government can waive the limit by annually notifying the public, holding a meeting for public comment and adopting an ordinance or resolution.

“ e local government revenue limit may decrease property taxes owed by an additional $510 million in 2024, $470 million in 2025, and $520 million in 2026, depending on how many local governments waive the limit,” the Blue Book states.

TABOR refund impact

e Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights, also called TABOR, limits the amount of money the state government can collect, per the Blue Book. If money is collected above the limit, the excess must be refunded to taxpayers — a TABOR refund.

Proposition HH would create a new cap on the amount of money the state may retain over its revenue limit. is new cap would be higher than the current cap.

e ballot measure would allow the state to retain an estimated $170 million in the state budget year 2023-24 and $360 million in the state budget year 2024-25, per the Blue Book.

According to the Blue Book, the retained money would be used in the following ways:

Up to 20% to reimburse eligible local governments for lost property tax revenue Up to $20 million each year for rental assistance Remaining funds to reimburse school districts for reduced property tax revenue as a result of the measure and for education-related programs, estimated at $125 million in the state budget year 2024-25, and up to $2.16 billion in the state budget year 2031-32.

If voters pass Proposition HH, the 2023 TABOR refunds are estimated to be $898 for single lers and $1,796 for joint lers, per the Blue Book.

In 2024 and 2025, TABOR refunds would be expected to decrease compared to what they would be under current law.

“ e measure’s impact on TABOR refunds over the long term depends on population growth, in ation, and state revenue collections,” the Blue Book states.

FAA, Centennial Airport work on changes

BY TAYLER SHAW TSHAW@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Hoping to address community concerns about aircraft noise, Centennial Airport o cials shared a report detailing changes it and the Federal Aviation Administration, or (FAA), plan to make, with some solutions starting as soon as Oct. 5. e report, unveiled on Oct. 4, comes from the “Centennial Airport Community Noise Roundtable Study Group Committee.”

is study group is made up of members of the Centennial Airport Community Noise Roundtable, Arapahoe County Commissioner Jessica Campbell-Swanson, ight school representatives, FAA representatives and Centennial Airport Executive Director and CEO Mike Fronapfel.

Centennial Airport, located in Arapahoe County near Dove Valley Regional Park, is one of the 25 busiest airports in the nation, according to the FAA.

e problem the study group is addressing is that in the fall of 2022, residents began reporting an “increase in ights due to an extended pattern of tra c over the communities to the north and west of the airport, resulting in them reporting a degradation in their quality of life,” according to the report.

For months, residents have been attending meetingsto raise concerns about increased air tra c, noise and lead pollution impacting the community.

At the Oct. 4 community noise roundtable meeting, residents continued to voice concerns, with several saying the issues have gotten worse.

e report said some of the drivers for the extended tra c pattern include a May 2021 mid-air collision that occurred north of the airport, the resulting changes in how the FAA managed the aircraft in the pattern, increases in aircraft tra c/operations and inconsistency among ight schools.

e goal of the study group is to develop noise mitigation strategies to reduce exposure to aircraft noise for the communities north and west of the airport “without moving the noise to another community,” the report said.

Six noise mitigation strategies proposed In the report, the study group proposed six mitigation strategies it has deemed to be viable and can be implemented relatively soon.

e rst proposed solution is that during the “late evening and early morning hours,” the FAA air tra c control tower, when possible, will direct aircraft to use the airport’s main runway, so that the aircraft

e second solution is, starting Oct. 5, to add noise sensitive areas to the radar display in the air tra c control tower.

“ at is gonna make air tra c control aware of those areas,” said Brad Pierce, the chair of the community noise roundtable and a

tion provided about a local airport environment. Pilots are expected to review a chart and its supplements before taking ight.

e implementation for this strategy is planned for 2023, per the report.

Forum: Littleton school board candidates talk issues

BY NINA JOSS NJOSS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Dozens gathered for a forum on Oct. 4 to hear the four Littleton Public Schools Board of Education candidates discuss topics important to Littleton voters.

e conversation covered community partnerships, campaign nances, school boundaries, funding, school choice and vouchers, library books, diversity, state testing, teacher wages and curriculum topics such as climate change and reproductive health.

Candidates Chérie Garcia-Kuper, Brian Macaulay, Michelle Redfearn

and current school board member Lindley McCrary, who is running for reelection, were all present at the forum.

Curriculum topics

At one point in the forum, the host asked candidates if they agree with the district’s approach to teach the “whole child,” including social, emotional, behavioral, academics, extracurriculars and more. Speci cally, she asked where they stand on schools teaching about social-emotional learning, racism, civic and civil rights, reproductive health and climate change. All four candidates said they

support the education of the whole child.

“I think social-emotional learning is a healthy reminder that we have to look at the whole child. We can’t separate them,” Redfearn said. “Schools have been tasked since the beginning of time with cultivating character and teaching content. So I do think that that’s very important.”

She said she supported the districts’ current policies on reproductive health education.

She interpreted the question on racism to refer to critical race theory, a discipline and analytical tool primarily used in university-

level courses that has become a divisive topic on school boards across the country.

Redfearn said she is not aware of critical race theory being taught anywhere in the state. She said she does not think the discipline has a place in the district.

In response to an email from the Littleton Independent, Redfearn clari ed that she thinks history, including the civil rights movement, should be taught as long as it is an accurate representation of historical facts. She said the district’s work related to understanding

Louisiana-style eatery gets new moniker

Nolia is name of Centennial restaurant formerly known as Dig In Eats

BY RACHEL LORENZ

Self-proclaimed serial entrepreneur Lilli Black has infused a bit of her heritage into her recently renamed restaurant in Centennial.

Nolia Restaurant, formerly Dig In Eats, serves small plates of European and Louisiana-style cuisine from a 3,000-square-foot spot in Willow Creek Shopping Center at the intersection of Quebec Street and County Line Road.

“I love to eat small plates and different avors and bites. ... I basically made a menu of things I wanted to eat,” Black told Colorado Community Media. e restaurant also o ers a selection of paninis and salads along with an ever-changing stu ed fresh pasta special, customizable charcuterie boards and an extensive wine list.

“ ere’s so much love and attention to the avors that are in the food,” she said. “ at’s so important in Louisiana cuisine, that sort of slow love.”

Black, who also has a plant store

and a wedding planning business, opened her eatery on Nov. 11 last year. After receiving feedback from customers that the original name was too casual for the type of food she was preparing, she decided to

crowdsource a new moniker. She solicited suggestions in local food-oriented Facebook groups and through her weekly email newsletter.

“Magnolia” was proposed by two people from Denver. Black liked it and shortened the word to Nolia.

“I grew up in South Louisiana and my property had tons of magnolia trees so it’s sort of nostalgic for me,” she said.

Located in what was previously a chiropractor’s o ce and the bar of the now-defunct Mama Roma restaurant, Nolia’s two dining rooms are decorated with art from Craig Black, the owner’s father. One room is festooned with a sculpted relief mural of greenery over a cobblestone wall.

e other is decked out with a collection of his black-and-white paintings.

Designing the second room to have a simple, neutral aesthetic was important to Black who wanted the space to do double duty as a place for private parties.

“You can have everything from a baby shower to a wedding to a celebration of life in there,” she said, “and it works depending on what you bring in.”

e room also regularly hosts Nolia’s live music events and special seven-course dinners, complete with wine pairings.

And while Black said she has “unlimited” business ideas bouncing around in her brain, she doesn’t have plans to start anything new just yet. Tending three companies keeps her busy. But she said she wouldn’t spend her time any other way.

“Running my businesses is what I love to do.”

All four Littleton city council candidates have led their rst round of nance reports, which show varying levels of nancial support for each candidate.

e rst reports show contributions and expenditures for the reporting period ending Sept. 19.

Andrea Vukovich Peters, who is running unopposed to represent District 4, has raised the highest amount of campaign funds at $10,100.

Although she has raised the most money, she only has two donors.

Tom Brown from Highlands Ranch, donated $10,000 to her campaign.

Peters said Brown is a relative who is retired and was “just being overly supportive” of her campaign.

Her other donor, William Airy, donated $100 because he saw her campaign on social media, Peters said.

Peters’ campaign nance form does not include Airy’s address, which she said is because he did not provide that information as was requested when he donated.

Peters said she does not have more donors because she closed her donation button on her website after these donations. With

the amount of money she already had from Brown — and with her opponent, current District 4 Councilmember Kelly Milliman, dropping from the race — she said she did not see a need to gather more money.

Robert Reichardt, who is running unopposed for District 2, has raised about $1,903. His donations are mainly from Littleton residents.

He also has a donation of about $100 from Rebecca McClellan, who represents the 6th Congressional District on the Colorado State Board of Education.

Dando said she is a former social studies teacher and reading and libraries are very important to her.

“I just want to make sure everybody gets an opportunity to grow and learn and just see what’s out there and (have) the chance to make choices not to have choices made for them,” Dando said.

For Dando the best aspects of being a volunteer with Arapahoe Libraries are her fellow volunteers.

“We have just an amazing team and when everybody is really pulling together we can really do some good stu to help programing and all that kind of stu ,” Dando said. “It feels very gratifying.”

Dando said she grew up in the Western Slope, went to college in California, and returned to Colorado for additional schooling, and taught social studies in Cherry Creek Schools before becoming a stay-at-home mom.

Dando said she loves Arapahoe Libraries because she feels the organization does a lot for the communities.

“It just makes you proud to work in a system that I think is really trying to make a di erence,” Dando said.

In her role as a volunteer, Dando is in charge of all the bookstores and book sales hosted in the various locations of Arapahoe Libraries.

“I love running them. ere’s lots of moving parts and challenges and I like that and we just have an amazing team of volunteers,” Dando said. “It’s just really a neat project.”

Louise Richey, community engagement manager, said under Dando’s leadership Arapahoe Libraries has expanded its book sales from one to four and its bookstores from one to ve.

“She’s really grown the Friends of

the Library footprint in the library district,” Richey said.

Dando said she will keep volunteering until she can’t anymore because she really enjoys the team of volunteers. Dando said though she has volunteered for over 20 years she said she is not the only long term volunteer.

“It’s just a really loyal team who love books and love learning and love what we can do,” Dando said.

Priscilla Rice, who has been volunteering for Arapahoe Libraries since the 1990s and has known Dando for about 35 years, said she is thankful for Dando.

“I appreciate that she has been supportive of all of us volunteers and is doing the hard work,” Rice said. “She’s got a wonderful family.”  Richey, who has known Dando for over 20 years, said she and Dando are friends as well as colleagues and the system is lucky to have Dando.

“I think the amazing thing about our team is ersa’s leadership. People have stayed for years and years,” Richey said. “Our volunteers love working here in part because of (her) leadership.”

Dando said she is no stranger to volunteering and has learned a lot from her past volunteer endeavors.

“I love volunteering and to see what I can give. My mom and dad set a really good example for that and I feel like we all should do what we can,” ersa said.

Richey said since she has been with Arapahoe Libraries Dando and the team of volunteers have raised over $2 million for the Library District.

Going forward Dando said she is looking forward to sorting through more donations of books, organizing sales and working with the amazing teams.

Dando also said she has a goal of raising $200,000 by the end of the year through book sales and the bookstore and she said they are close to that goal.

Current school board member Lindley McCrary, who is running for reelection, reported $2,150 in monetary contributions.

Macaulay’s campaign funding

According to Macualay’s nancial reports, over $14,000, or about 45%, has come from donors outside of school district boundaries.

One of these donations is $2,000 from Peter Coors, whose donation address is in Denver. Coors is the former CEO of Coors Brewing Company, now Molson Coors.

Coors, who lost the race for a Colorado seat in the U.S. Senate as a Republican candidate in 2004, has previously funded other GOP candidates, including 2022 Secretary of State candidate Pam Anderson and 2022 gubernatorial candidate Heidi Ganahl.

Coors also planned a fundraiser for former President Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign.

In 2021, Coors contributed to the campaigns of Douglas County School District board members Becky Myers, Christy Williams, Kaylee Winegar and President Mike Peterson.

When asked about the donation from Coors, Macaulay said he does not think the donation has anything to do with partisan politics.

He said he solicited a donation from Coors that was not political, but instead aimed towards helping Macaulay achieve his goals in the district.

“I think Peter Coors trusts me,” Macaulay said. “He knows that I’m a man of integrity, and he says, ‘OK, what can I do to help you?’ And that’s it. And he writes a check. ere’s zero partisan in u-

ence, expectations or anything with regards to that donation.”

Macaulay said he knows Coors from business connections and business leader groups.

When asked for the names of the groups, Macaulay said he did not think that was a relevant topic. He said the business leader group is not political.

A smaller donation of $100 to Macaulay’s campaign came from Antonette Smith, who is the Colorado deputy state director of Americans for Prosperity. Her address is within the Littleton Public Schools district.

Americans for Prosperity is a libertarian conservative political advocacy group funded by Charles and David Koch. e group was in the national spotlight during the 2012 presidential election when it spent millions of dollars on attack ads against former President Barack Obama.

Macaulay said Smith’s donation was made by her as an individual, not as part of Americans for Prosperity.

“It is absurd to think that because this individual was employed by an organization, and donated $100 to my campaign, that there is anything, anything partisan about that donation,” he said. “ is is an individual who said, ‘I like what I’m hearing. I’m going to donate to your campaign.’ at’s it.”

Macaulay said he met Smith at a meet-and-greet for his campaign. When asked if Smith organized the meet-and-greet, he said she did, but he does not think that’s relevant.

Macaulay also reported a $100 donation from Cinamon Watson, who formerly worked at the American Legislative Exchange Council and worked as Douglas County School District’s lead communications employee until 2014.

Macaulay said he has made an e ort to steer clear of any perception of any partisan a liation or organization donating to him.

“All of that stu comes with perceptions about what may be behind that, what may be owed — I don’t want that. I don’t think it’s appropriate,” he said. “ is is about the kids in Littleton. What are we doing to deliver an outstanding education to our LPS

As I read stories and watch coverage of the ongoing school board elections across the Denver metro area, it’s been fascinating to see how many times candidates are being asked about politics in schools. Of course, all of them absolutely agree that politics should not be in schools — but then many follow up with politically driven statements in their answers to other questions.

Politics and education FROM THE EDITOR

While I won’t single out any speci c candidates, I have to say I laughed at a recent Cherry Creek School District candidate forum when a candidate said absolutely no politics in school — only to say they are against SROs in schools because police ofcers carry a negative image. Really? Is that statement alone not a clear sign that politics in school is on your agenda? I’ve said it before and will say it again — SROs can and have been shown to have a positive in uence on students. Maybe not all, but in my experience, on most.

Look at the Douglas County SRO who is credited for indirectly saving a student’s life last year when she wanted to commit suicide. I bet her parents are happy he was on campus that day.

en, there’s the true politics of politics in school. Teachers are more commonly talking about their political views in the classroom.

About two years ago, my now fth-grade son came home telling me about how Hillary Clinton had won the election and not Donald Trump. rough a series of questions, he said she won the

popular vote, and his teacher told him.

He was in third grade yet had to get a lesson from me on what the Electoral College is and why Donald Trump won.

I was a bit frustrated because I didn’t think he even needed that lesson in third grade and because it was not completely accurate in what he was told.

I talked to a candidate recently who is running for school board who said we need to get back to basics in schools. We need students to read, write and do a better job in math instead of being told political messages and told what to think and believe.

I agree with him. It is our job to teach these kids, whether at home or at school, how to think but not what to think.

For me, as a parent, too many times I hear my kids tell me how they are being told what to think at school.

Parents are guilty too — we are telling our kids what to think and believe and not exactly teaching them to take the information and think on their own.

Schools are becoming way too political in all regards. Discipline in schools is becoming absent because too often fear of parents and retribution has the administration not pushing discipline. Instead, students are getting away with being disrespectful and disruptive on a regular basis.

Teachers lack the support, and 20 or 25 students are losing out in each class on valuable learning because of continued disruptions.

In the end, I am going to vote for candidates who work to take politics out of our schools but will set a priority on restoring honor and respect for our teachers, students, and parents to see true growth and progress.

Winning relationships at home and at work

Strong, healthy relationships are the foundation for happiness and success, both at home and at work. Yet in our busy modern lives, it can be all too easy to let connections with loved ones and colleagues slip. So, how can we build and maintain winning relationships in all areas of our

At home, it starts with intentional quality time with family. Be fully present during meals, outings and important events. Put down devices and focus on each other. Share feelings openly and listen without judging. Laugh together. Express a ection. Go for walks to talk things through. Play games face-to-face. Simple daily interactions build trust and understanding over time.

I remember a lesson that I learned many years ago from Zig Ziglar. On one of his programs, he talked about how important it is to be fully present. He used an example that I believe most of us can relate to. e scenario is that you are watching television and a child or spouse says that they want to talk to

you or show you something, and you respond by saying OK after this show is over or ask if it can wait until the next commercial. e message this sends is that the program or show is more important than our family member. I’ll never forget the rst time I applied Zig’s lesson to my life. I was watching Monday Night Football and my wife came in and asked me if we could talk about something. I reached for the remote and turned o the television immediately. My wife looked at me and asked me why I turned o the television, and I told her that she was more important than any football game and that I wanted to hear what was on her mind. It was a real growth moment for our marriage and family.

Speaking of marriage, it is also important to nurture your marriage or partnership speci cally. Go on regular dates, keep communicating, and make intimacy a priority. And if you are looking for a great book about this, check out Zig Ziglar’s book “Courtship After Marriage,” you can thank me later for that one. Support each other’s growth. Divide household responsibilities fairly. Allow space for individual pursuits. Appreciate each other’s di erences. A

strong couple connection radiates out to the whole family.

With children, it’s about engagement. Get on their level, understand their world, and guide them patiently. Set clear boundaries, but also give them freedom to develop. Encourage their interests. Be consistent and keep promises. Admit mistakes and apologize when you’re wrong. Your dependable presence through ups and downs forms a secure attachment. Communication is very important to a healthy and winning relationship with our children regardless of their age. It’s easy to try and ignore the trying teenage years, hoping we can just simply survive them. e better idea is to talk to them even more during this time, because if we aren’t the ones talking with them,

they will only hear the world talking at them.

At work, building solid relationships starts with respect. Value everyone’s contributions, from mailroom to management. Get to know co-workers personally and show interest in their lives. O er sincere praise. Give credit where due. Listen to ideas and feedback. Express appreciation for help. Building camaraderie and goodwill motivates higher performance. Also foster good communication. Clarify expectations. Address issues directly, not through gossip. Give regular updates. Be transparent about decisions. Discuss problems calmly without blame. Maintain con dentiality. Reliable communication cements professional trust. Winning relationships require e ort but deliver huge rewards. At home, you build family bonds that last a lifetime. At work, you create an environment of support and collaboration. By consciously investing

in relationships, you enrich every area of life. e connections we build with others shape who we are and determine our success and happiness.

e two most important words in building winning relationships are trust and communication, honest and real communication. How are your relationships going? I would love to hear your story at gotonorton@gmail.com, and when we are

sincere and intentional about both building trust and openly and honestly communicating it really will be a better than good life.

Donnette (‘Donne’) Ann Gizewski

Pearson passed away peacefully surrounded by family at Wind Crest Senior Living Facility on September 23, 2023, shortly after her 88th birthday.

Donne was born in Salem, South Dakota, to Fred and Annabelle (DeHaan) Gizewski. She was the youngest of four daughters, following Goldie (Sarlette), Marcella (Howe), and Ruby Gelane (Howe). She graduated from Salem High School in 1953 as Valedictorian, with perfect attendance. She married her lifelong partner Marlyn Pearson on May 15, 1954, at Salem Lutheran Church.

Donne was a consummate professional woman, serving as a model and mentor for many other women including her two daughters. She started her career directly out of high school at Bell Telephone when she and Marlyn moved to the nearest ‘big city’ –Minneapolis. After working at home during her children’s early years in Sacramento and Seattle, she rejoined the workforce when the family moved to Denver. Donne worked for many years for United Banks of Colorado, rising through the ranks from PBX receptionist to Senior Vice President. She trained and supervised scores of banking professionals with diplomacy and care. Even before the internet, she would spend hours researching how to help people with workplace, health, and family concerns. She

retired from United Banks/Norwest/ Wells Fargo in 1987. She also served in Stephen Ministry at Holy Trinity Lutheran Church.

Donne loved travelling and exploring Colorado outdoors with Marlyn, and spending time with family. She particularly enjoyed memorable travels to Alaska, Scandinavia, and other parts of Europe, and road trips in the US. Above all, she was a loving and devoted wife and mother, a proud parent and grandparent, and a caring and mischievous great-grandma. Each new child brought her such great joy. Donne was preceded in death by her parents, sisters, and son Lyndon Scott. She is survived by her husband of almost 70 years, Marlyn, daughters Tamra (Claude) and Kimberly (Randy), ve grandchildren Kyle (Hannah), Erin (Matt), Jean-Marc, Alec, and Daniel, three great-grandchildren Callen, Brennen, and Rhys, and many nieces and nephews who will miss ‘Aunt Donne’.

A celebration of life will be held Friday, October 27, 2023, at 2:30pm at Our Father Lutheran Church, 6335 S Holly St, Centennial, CO 80121. In lieu of owers, the family suggests memorials be sent to St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital.

Dorothy Gene “Dorry” (Jacobson) Rice

May 28, 1933 - September 19, 2023

BY AMANDA HORVATH ROCKY MOUNTAIN PBS

On a cool summer morning, quietness settles over the prairie. Only nature is audible. A warm breeze rustles the grass and the meadowlarks’ songs are punctuated by the grunts of buffalo, who t perfectly into this puzzle of prairie life.

“We have to all work together to conserve bison in their native landscape,” said Megan Klosterman, the deputy refuge manager at Rocky Mountain Arsenal Wildlife Refuge. Bison conservation has received more attention in the last ve to 10 years than ever before. On Sept. 7, the Department of the Interior announced $5 million for the “support the restoration of bison populations and grassland ecosystems in Tribal communities.” is investment supports Secretary Order 3410, which was announced in March 2023 and is the larger investment of $25 million from the In ation Reduction Act to restore bison and prairie ecosystems through

Indigenous knowledge of the species.

Klosterman said Rocky Mountain Arsenal, located in Commerce City, is part of a greater initiative to work with Indigenous groups to bring back and protect the bu alo.

Bison once numbered in the range of 70 million across North America prior to Europeans settling on the continent. en, for a range of reasons but primarily to “settle the West,” which was the excuse made for clearing out the megafauna — the bison — and the American Indians who heavily relied on the bu alo for subsistence, European Americans killed most of the bu alo,which brought the species near extinction and purposefully nearly destroyed many American Indian tribes. Over the last 100 years, conservationists and American Indian tribes have worked to bring back this important animal to the ecosystem.

“People are beginning to understand that we can’t control Mother Earth. Mother Earth is going to control us. And so, I think that

CONSERVATION

it’s almost imperative that we bring the bu alo back,” said Rick Williams, board president of People of the Sacred Land, an organization that aims to reveal the ways American Indians were mistreated throughout Colorado’s history and create an equitable future for American Indians.

Prairie grasslands stretched for miles across the state as did herds of bu alo who play an important ecological role in the landscape. Colorado is home to nearly 50 di erent tribes who traversed this land much like the bu alo did.

“It’s so important that we believe that the strength of the herds of bu alo who are coming back parallel our existence, we will never be strong as a people again until we have the bu alo back,” said Williams, who is Oglala Lakota and Northern Cheyenne.

Bu alo are incredibly intertwined with many Indigenous Tribes and Nations, especially the Lakota, Williams said, and not just as a source of food, tools and clothing.

“Part of that relationship is a spiritual relationship, the spirit of that bu alo and my spirit can interact with each other and understand each other,” said Williams.

In the 1990s, Williams was part of a group that created what is now the InterTribal Bu alo Council. ITBC is a collection of more than 80 tribes across the country who manage more than 20,000 bu alo. e organization is bene ting from the new federal funding, using the money to help educate and fund the animals’ care.

e Southern Ute Tribe in Colorado is one of the founding tribes of ITBC. eir herd was established in 1984 with just eight bison and has grown to 115 bison. is size of the herd sustains their meat program, which provides ve pounds of free bison meat each month to all 1,500 tribal members.

One of the main reasons [to return bu alo to tribal lands] is to help restore our food sovereignty and our traditional food system,” said Stacey Oberly, a Southern Ute Tribal council member and representative for the tribe with ITBC.

e other reason to return the bison to prairie grasslands is the incredible ecological role the

animals play — an aspect Oberly, Williams and Klosterman all talked about extensively.

“ at symbiotic relationship that we had with the bu alo also goes all across the environment.

e prairie dogs love the bu alo, the grass loves the bu alo,” explained Williams. “Even the bugs and mosquitoes like bu alo.”

As the World Wildlife Organization explains, bison graze grasses at di erent heights which not only replenishes the grasses but also provides nesting grounds for birds. Bu alo also roll around as a way to shed their coats and rid themselves of bugs. at rolling creates depressions in the ground called wallows. ose wallows then ll with rainwater and become sources of drinking water for wildlife across the plains. e wallows are also home to several medicinal and rare plants that rely on these spaces to grow.

“[Bu alo] ber is the second warmest ber in America. And so, when animals use that ber to line their nests, the animals that nest on the ground, the scent of the bu alo masks the scent of their babies in their nests. So, the predators can’t send them to nd their babies,” explained Oberly.

Bu alo hooves also churn the soil and create microclimates for new plants to grow. And bison use their big heads and shoulders to plow through the snow to eat the grass in the winter.

is plowing activity bene ts other animals like pronghorn antelope and elk.

“Bison were selected to be part of this refuge

At Rocky Mountain Arsenal Wildlife Refuge, more than 200 bison live on 6,300 acres of land. Visitors to the refuge can see the bison for themselves using an 11-mile wildlife drive. e refuge also boasts 20 miles of hiking trails and many other animal species.

“We are really hoping that we are a place where people in the urban communities here can come experience wildlife in nature and really nd their place in this natural environment,” said Klose refuge donates new bison to Tribes or other conservation herds hoping to bolster their own herds. e bison’s area at the refuge will soon expand to 11,500 acres, giving the animals even more space to roam, which Williams said is something they desperately need to thrive.

“ ey’ll come back if they’re treated well and they can have that freedom again, not being conned, not being unable to roam and be bu alo,” said Williams.

While the refuge is a good place to conserve bison, Williams is talking about bringing back bison as true wild animals. In fact, he believes we, as a country, should create corridors for bu alo to move freely north and south as they did for thousands of years.

“ ey need more land. And that is the critical issue that we’re facing. We’ve seen a diminishment of bu alo grass and grasslands that would be suitable for bu alo going away,” said Williams.   While this idea may seem radical to some, Williams believes returning the bu alo in this way will not only help the grasslands, the environment and Indigenous ways of life but restore some balance that has been missing in this area for the last 150 years.

“My message to all people — because it’s going to take more than just the Indians to do this — if you really want to make a di erence in the world, nd a way to bring bu alo back,” said Williams. “If you want to make a di erence in this world, bring bu alo back.”

kids? at’s it. ere’s no R, there’s no D, there’s no I — there’s nothing. It’s ‘Let’s focus on the kids and let’s tee them up for success.’”

In assessing the donations he receives, Macaulay said he is staying away from all organizations. In his eyes, all of the donations he has received represent support from individuals, not organizations. “ ere are individuals that come from many, many di erent backgrounds and have many di erent types of jobs — and those things are not relevant when it comes to the types of donations that you’re mentioning,” he told the Littleton Independent. “ ese people are donating to an individual with a vision for what he would like to accomplish ... And they’re supporting that vision.”

Other donations to Macaulay’s campaign came from residents within the district, family and friends in other districts and states and people he has met at meetand-greets, he said.

Littleton Fund for Children and Public Education

Candidate Garcia-Kuper, who used to live and volunteer in Douglas County before moving to Centennial, has received about 25% of her donations from individuals listed at addresses outside of the district. is equals about $2,050 of her contributions.

She said these donations are mainly from teachers in other districts, people who volunteered

with her when she lived in Douglas County and families who are openenrolled in the Littleton school district from other areas.

e largest donation she reported is $3,500 from the Littleton Fund for Children and Public Education.

is fund is the small donor committee of the Littleton Education Association, the union of educators and special service providers within the district.

Amanda Crosby, the association’s president, said the small donor committee interviews and supports school board candidates who support public education, as well as bond campaigns and mill levies.

According to state records, the fund has donated to Littleton Board of Education candidates registered as Democrats, Republicans and una liated voters in the past. ese include Angela Christensen, Andrew Graham, Jon Lisec and Joan Anderssen in 2021 and Robert Reichardt and McCrary in 2019.

In state school board and legislative races, the fund has contributed to Democratic candidates including: state Board of Education member Kathy Plomer, Rep. Bob Marshall, Rep. Eliza Hamrick, Rep. David Ortiz, Rep. Meg Froelich and others.

Crosby said the group does not take party a liation into consideration when deciding who to support. She said they only consider donating to candidates who ask for the group’s support, which tend to be those who have pro-public education values.

When asked about accepting money from a group that mostly donates to Democratic candidates, Garcia-Kuper said the group has

supported candidates who advocate for public education.

“Let’s be honest here, and let’s look at Republicans’ track record in public education and let’s look at Democrats’ track record in public education,” she said. “I am very proud that I am supported by the Littleton Education Association, because … they are teachers and sta who are on the frontlines with our kids, and they see every single day why school board elections matter and why we need to do right by our kids.”

In addition to Garcia-Kuper, the Littleton Fund for Children and Public Education donated $500 each to school board candidates Redfearn and McCrary and recommended the three candidates they donated to.

Redfearn, who said she used to be registered as a Republican and is now una liated, said she is grateful for the recommendation from the group. She said they likely endorsed her because she supports teachers.

She also said she had heard from people in the district that the Littleton Education Association is not political and is very studentfocused.

“(I heard) that they’re very wellrounded, and that they want what’s best for kids,” she said. “It seems to be that the board has a good working relationship with (the Littleton Education Association).”

“I didn’t see it as this political strong-arm organization that, if they support you, you have to have their best interest, that you owe them something.” she said. “I haven’t gotten that vibe, that feel, that message any time when I’ve

spoken to them.”

McCrary, who reported $4,000 in contributions from the Littleton Fund for Children and Public Education during her rst race for the school board in 2019, said she never felt beholden to the group during her rst term.

“I feel perfectly comfortable taking that donation because I have that experience with them,” she said. “ ey make it very clear that their donation is not an expectation of any kind of return. It’s really just to support people that they see as a good t for a candidate for their board of education.”

Other donations to Redfearn

According to the nancial reports, Redfearn received a $100 contribution from Frances Owens, who used to be married to former Colorado Republican Gov. Bill Owens.

Redfearn said this donor is a family friend.

She received $50 from Jaylen Mosqueira, who ran as a Republican candidate for Colorado House District 28 against Democrat David Ortiz who won the seat last year.

Redfearn said a friend asked Mosqueira to donate because he supports grassroot campaigns. Redfearn said she did not know that Mosqueira had run for public o ce and did not know his political a liation.

In reporting the nancial donations, Redfearn said she did not take political a liation into account. She said people who have run for o ce before may be willing to support her simply for choosing to run for o ce because it’s a hard thing to do.

“I don’t take into (account) … political a liation when somebody donates,” she said. “Not that the size of the donation matters, but I mean, maybe if they were donating some exorbitant amount of money … But they seemed like reasonable, ‘I want to support a small campaign’ kind of donations, if that makes sense.”

Redfearn has received about $1,080 and McCrary has received about $100 in contributions from outside the district.

McCrary said her single out-of-district donation of $100 is from a friend in Fort Collins. e next round of campaign nancing information is due from candidates on Oct. 16.

e fourth solution, to be implemented in 2023, is to develop and implement outreach and education programs to ight schools “to increase pilot awareness of voluntary y quiet procedures and preferred pattern area,” the report said.

“Due to rapid turnover, ight school instructors and students are often unaware of noise issues, voluntary noise abatement procedures, or preferred tra c pattern area,” the report said.

e fth solution is for Centennial Airport to conduct daily monitoring of extended pattern tra c between 10 p.m. and 7 a.m.

Mike Fronapfel, the Centennial Airport executive director and CEO, said there have been several instances where an aircraft was ying early in the morning, such as around 4:30 a.m., and even though it was the only aircraft ying in the tra c pattern, it was extending the pattern.

“Obviously, once we found that information out, we shared that with the ight schools and ad-

dressed it with the ight school that was the one that was ying that aircraft,” Fronapfel said.

Starting this month, airport sta will look every morning to see if there are any outlier ights, he said.

“We’ll look at it proactively and then respond to it with ight schools,” he said.

e nal recommended solution is for the airport to add a full-time employee in 2024 to improve the airport sta ’s ability to provide investigation, analysis and reporting of data from the Airport Noise and Operations Monitoring System.

“Uniform data on over ights is needed to measure the extent of over ights, noise exposure and the results of mitigation strategies,” the report said.

Report is a “starting point”

Fronapfel said there are several other mitigation e orts that are being discussed and reviewed within the study group that are not mentioned in the Oct. 4 report.

Part of the review is a legal analysis to ensure that the strategies can be done within the constraints of the law, he said.

Pierce said the study group

wanted to get the report out with the viable mitigations that can be implemented sooner rather than later.

“ is is not the nal report,” he said. “ ere’s other mitigations we’re looking at. is is just a starting point.”

According to the report, the study group will provide another update in the spring of 2024.

During the public comment portion of the community noise roundtable meeting, one resident voiced concerns about that timeline, saying it is too long.

Fronapfel said that if there are other mitigations that can be rolled out sooner than the next report date, that will be done.

“And we can certainly take that request back to the study group to see if they’d be willing to produce an update report sooner,” he said.

Upcoming community meeting with Attorney General Phil Weiser

Audra Dubler, a leader of the group Quiet Skies Over Arapahoe County, was among roughly 18 residents who gave a public comment at the roundtable meeting.

“I’m here on behalf of Quiet Skies Over Arapahoe County tonight.

issues of social justice and equity for all students is not critical race theory.

Garcia-Kuper emphasized the importance of mental health care and education and supported teaching the other topics asked about.

“Teaching civil rights and climate change? Absolutely,” she said. “They’re the truth, they happened, we should teach those.”

She said reproductive health is important to teach in schools because it isn’t always taught in the home.

Macaulay said he sees many mental health challenges frequently in his work as an emergency medical physician.

“Unfortunately, our world is plagued with depression and anxiety with our children, and that’s just a scourge that’s kind of going across this country,” he said. “So yes, social-emotional learning has definitely a component to it that is very important.”

Dubler — who has attended meetings for months to raise concerns about aircraft tra c, noise and lead pollution — said the group has been collaborating with Quiet Skies Over Boulder County. She said there will be a community meeting with Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser in Superior on Oct. 23.

“What I’m announcing tonight is that Quiet Skies Over Arapahoe County is going to be arranging for all of us down from Centennial area to be transported on a private bus up to this meeting,” she said.  Dubler said the group will start taking RSVPs. e group’s website is bit.ly/quietskies.

“I need my community here more than ever. I can’t do it by myself anymore,” Dubler said. “I need everybody at this meeting because this is one attorney that is going to nd out that constitutionally, this is wrong. is is wrong.”

Moments of tension arose in the meeting when Dubler spoke longer than her allotted time for public comment, leading Pierce to ask her to stop talking several times.

To listen to Dubler’s full comment, visit: bit.ly/oct042023.

In regards to reproductive health, he said some highlycharged issues should be left in the hands of parents.

“I think if there’s polarizing opinions, highly-charged issues, I think what we need to do as a board is kind of step back a little bit and say, ‘Let’s let the parents decide how they’re going to handle this,’” he said. “I don’t think the board wants to be caught in the middle of that kind of discussion.”

McCrary said she supports social-emotional learning largely because students want it.

“As far as racism and civil rights and that history, I am a strong believer that we must teach correct history — otherwise, we’re going to repeat it,” she said. “And climate change — I am an engineer. I believe and I trust the science, absolutely it should be taught.”

McCrary said reproductive health education should be developmentally appropriate and include the parents as partners who can decide to opt their students out.

Tucker leads Rock Canyon to 5A State Golf Championship

BY JIM BENTON SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA

Charlie Tucker and his Rock Canyon teammates were aware of last season when they teed it up for the nal round of the Class 5A State Boys Golf Tournament at Collingdale Golf Course in Fort Collins.

In 2022, Rock Canyon fell two shots shy of rst place and the team remembered as competition started on Oct. 2.

Tucker wound up winning the individual state championship after sub-par rounds of 69 and 67 for a 136 two-round total.

With Tucker’s help, Rock Canyon captured the 2023 state team title with a 440 team aggregate, which put them ve shots ahead of Cherry Creek and Cherokee Trail, which tied for second.

Cherry Creek won a playo to take home the second-place award.

“It’s a great feeling to nally get ‘er done,” said Jaguars’ head coach Dave Vahling. “We knew it was our best chance this year to do it because we had all these seniors.”

Rock Canyon won its rst state golf championship and Tucker was the rst player to win a state individual title as he nished 6-under-par for his two rounds and a six-shot advantage over second place.

“I thought I played good, my putts and everything was just kind of smooth with not a lot of big numbers which was good,” said Tucker. “I’d say my ball striking and just my natural game which I thought was really good the past two days and I putted well.

“I thought I had a good chance to win. I just needed to do what I needed to do and just worry about that and not what anybody else is doing. at’s a lot tougher than it seems.”

Tucker was comfortably in the lead for most of the nal round but he didn’t know it.

“I really didn’t know where I stood all day,” he said. “It was probably on 18 after I hit my tee shot and saw all the people and heard I had a decent lead, it probably dawned on me then. It was good to have a good team that was able to be able to win a championship. Every shot mattered and that’s really cool to be able to do that.

“After last year it was de nitely nice to nally get it done,” Tucker continued. “We barely lost it as a team, and it was great to really not have a putt on 18 that made that much di erence this year.”

Other members of the Rock Canyon team were Mason Conrad (152), Nathan Kim (153) and Trey Kahro (157).

In the individual Class 5A standings, Castle View’s Gavin Amella was eighth (70,77 —147). ere was a tie for ninth, which included Mountain Vista’s Conner Scheich (71,77-148), Maxwell Eide of Valor Christian (76, 72 -148), Billy Verstraate of Highlands Ranch (72,76 -148) and Spencer Schlagel of Legend (75,73 -148).

In the Class 4A state tournament, Littleton’s Jack Finch nished fourth after rounds of 71 and 72 for a 1-over-par 143 total at the Bridges in Montrose

‘It’s a great feeling to finally get ’er done. We knew it was our best chance this year to do it because we had all these seniors.’

School choice and vouchers

Later in the forum, candidates were asked if they would support the district o ering public dollars, also known as vouchers, to be used to pay tuition at private, religious K-12 schools.

Garcia-Kuper said she is strongly against the idea of vouchers.

“I come from Douglas County. I actually was one of the parents who fought against vouchers in our schools,” she said. “ ere’s a strong thing in our constitution of the separation of church and state. We should not take public tax dollars and give them to private religiousbased institutions, period, the end.”

McCrary said public education funding in Colorado is already awful and she is not in support of taking money away from public education to put it towards the private sector.

In addition, she said Littleton Public Schools is a magnet district for families with students who have special needs and these students wouldn’t receive the same level of support at a private school.

Macaulay, whose children have all attended private, religious schools for some portion of their education, said he is in support of keeping funding within the district.

“I don’t want dollars going out of the school if I am in a role of serving this (Littleton Public Schools) district,” he said.

Macaulay’s oldest daughter recently graduated from Heritage High School and his son is planning to start there next year.

Redfearn said she would like to see the district’s funding stay within the district. She said she is opposed to vouchers.

“It is my opinion that public schools spend public funds to educate the public’s children,” she said.

High-stakes testing and teacher pay

Several candidates shared strong opinions on high-stakes testing.

Redfearn said she looks at highstakes testing through the healthcare lens that she has as a nursing educator.

“Nowhere in healthcare do we diagnose somebody who walks in just by virtue of a cough — we look at a lot of other symptoms that go

with that,” Redfearn said. “I really feel like students are far more than just one number and that socialemotional learning plays into that.”

She said she has more ideas on the topic but did not have time to express them during her comment.

McCrary said data from Colorado’s standards-based state tests, also known as CMAS, can be helpful but do not tell the full story.

She said the test is written and administered such that certain demographic groups, particularly English language learners and students with disabilities, will always perform at a lower level.

“ e focus on using CMAS as a measure of academic success, versus looking at the whole body of evidence that teachers collect, sends a message to those groups that they aren’t performing up to our standards,” she said. “ at is not the LPS way … I refuse to be a part of a narrative that sends a message to any of our students that they do not belong in this district.”

Macaulay said he is not wed to any particular type of test, but he thinks there does need to be some objective measure of how students are performing.

“ e Colorado Department Department of Education has given us that,” he said. “I think it’s a useful tool … I think we need to prioritize academic excellence in our schools, and I think that’s one way to measure how we’re doing.”

Garcia-Kuper said she has opted her kids out of high-stakes testing and that other types of testing are more productive for classroom use.

All four candidates said they were in favor of teacher compensation.

Macaulay said teacher pay needs to be competitive in the market to attract and retain teachers.

Garcia-Kuper said the district might need to be more creative with its nances to see if it can improve teacher compensation and make it possible for teachers to a ord to live where they work.

McCrary said she has always supported and voted for raises for teachers and support sta and will continue to advocate for them.

Redfearn said teachers’ pay in Colorado gives a whole new meaning to not going into a career for the money.

e District Accountability Committee will holdanother Board of Education candidate forum from 7 to 9 p.m. on Oct. 18.
