Council approves site plan for 80-acre regional park Project a collaboration with South Suburban BY TAYLER SHAW TSHAW@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Lone Tree City Council approved the final site plan of the 80-acre Lone Tree Regional Park, locat-
ed east of I-25 and south of RidgeGate Parkway, during the June 20 regular meeting. “We’re really creating a really unique identifier for the community,” said Austin Good, Lone Tree’s assistant city manager. The park will be Lone Tree’s first regional park, and it will be located southeast of the RidgeGate Parkway and Peoria
Street intersection. It is a collaborative effort by the City of Lone Tree and South Suburban Parks and Recreation. The board of directors for South Suburban Parks and Recreation previously approved the final site plan on June 8. The main concept for the plan, developed by landscape architect The Architerra Group, is called “The Braid.” The plan includes
a variety of amenities such as a dog park, festival terrace, multi-level playground and walking paths that feature a variety of spaces, called activity rooms, that can accommodate different uses such as community gardens and community art walks. The 80-acre park is part of the large RidgeGate East development on the east side of I-25 and
RidgeGate Parkway, which involves also building a 400-acre Lone Tree City Center, commercial districts, schools and three residential villages. “It’s 80 acres — pretty substantial, [and] going to be a really big investment for the city, South Suburban and the whole community,” Good said.

Commissioners pivot on homelessness approach Teal says he no longer wants shelters BY ELLIOTT WENZLER EWENZLER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Pallet shelters at Aurora Safe Outdoor Space help provide temporary housing and resources to homeless people. Douglas County had been considering a similar model COURTESY OF SALVATION ARMY but changed plans after a town hall.

Thisend Week
After a June 22 town hall where residents expressed frustration with homeless shelters planned in the community, Douglas County commissioners indicated they will change their approach. Commissioner George Teal, who previously voted to approve a plan to buy temporary, moveable structures, said he was no longer interested in the purchase but was willing to pursue other options. “I do think that there is a solution there that we should push for,” Teal said. “We shouldn’t have to live with unhoused people in our community when we all spend a lot of money having houses ourselves.” Teal’s comments came after a 90-minute meeting where many residents said they thought a shelter would exacerbate homelessness in the county. While two of the three commissioners had approved the “pallet” structures — modeled after a program in Aurora — a location for them has not yet been approved. A county spokesperson said the final vote to approve the purchase of the pallets was removed from this week’s agenda. There were tense moments throughout the town hall as audience members frequently shouted out, interrupting speakers and arguing with the panel members. “We are going to destroy the essence of Douglas County. Douglas County is not Denver,” said resident Mike Campbell. Commissioner Abe Laydon — who voted in favor of the pallets — has said he did so because a shelter is needed for law enforcement to enforce camping restrictions. “My goal as one commissioner is to make sure there is not one single homeless individual or panhandler on any intersection or any median in this entire county,” Laydon said. Laydon added that he doesn’t want a “tent city” in Douglas County. Attendees challenged the idea that a shelter was needed, asking
for specifics on what law required the move and encouraging the commissioners to try to change any law that does so. Laydon and others have referenced People vs. Wiemold, a district court case out of Fort Collins where a judge ruled a man couldn’t be cited for violating a camping ban because there was no shelter available to him. “It’s a legal trend, essentially you can’t criminalize homelessness,” said Amy Edwards, senior assistant county attorney. “It’s not a choice unless there is a bed available and they choose not to go to the bed when they’re asked to move along.” Some residents made comments that those experiencing homelessness are doing so by choice. In response, Kevin Duffy, chief deputy of the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office, said his office has seen a rise in women experiencing homelessness as they flee domestic violence. “That’s not a choice, they’re not drug addicts, they’re not thieves, they’re escaping abuse,” he said. “And the only place they can stay where they’re safe is in a car.” Earlier this year, the county formed its homeless initiative to explore ways to approach the growing local issue. Since then, commissioners have funded a specific officer who can help residents leaving the jail get back to public transportation systems; a Homeless Engagement Assistance and Resource Team, or HEART, which pairs law enforcement officers with case managers to confront and offer services to unhoused people; and an Aurora GOALS program that will allow a few homeless families to find temporary shelter. The commissioners have also said they are planning a signage and public information campaign telling residents about the HEART team and encouraging them not to give money to panhandlers or people who appear homeless. Commissioner Lora Thomas, who voted against the plan to buy the pallets, reiterated her stance during the meeting, saying she wants to see how the existing programs impact the issue. “Let’s see what we have in place, how it’s working and then work together from there,” she said.

Denver mayor has ‘no interest’ in Douglas County taking over Daniels Park Hancock says matter isn’t up for discussion BY ELLIOTT WENZLER EWENZLER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
In a letter to Douglas County on Wednesday, Denver’s mayor said he has “no interest” in talking about transferring ownership of one of Denver’s parks to the county. Daniels Park, a Denver Mountain Park located inside Douglas County, is a 1,000-acre piece of land between Highlands Ranch and Castle Pines. Douglas County Commissioners George Teal and Abe Laydon recent-
ly directed the county’s legal staff to pursue ways to “bring Daniels Park into Douglas County ownership.” Commissioner Lora Thomas voted against the direction to legal staff. Denver Mayor Michael Hancock addressed his letter to Teal, saying the park is a treasured part of the city’s system and that the matter is not up for discussion. “Nor do I have any interest in perpetuating a flawed notion that there is any merit to the idea that Douglas County can exercise eminent domain authority to acquire a park owned by the people of Denver and protected by our charter because you disagree with an ordinance passed by the Denver City Council
and signed into law to promote public safety,” the letter said. In May, the Denver City Council approved an ordinance banning concealed firearms on city property, including parks. Teal has not responded to calls and texts from Colorado Community Media about the issue. Hancock also said he would not “undermine the will of our city council with respect to the ordinance.” Scott Gilmore, deputy director of the Denver Parks and Recreations Department, estimated the land would cost Douglas County at least half a billion dollars. Daniels Park, a sprawling piece
of land given to the city nearly 100 years ago, has significance with Native American tribes in the area, many of whom have ceremonies on the land. The Tall Bull Memorial Ground is located in Daniels Park. The City of Denver has a longtime agreement with the Tall Bull Memorial Council to allow use of the park. The park is also known for its bison herd. “It is a point of pride for our community that we’re able to maintain and operate these open spaces for everyone in Denver, the region and across the state to access and enjoy — and to access and enjoy safely,” according to Hancock’s letter.

Pirates Cove cuts summer swim hours Staffing shortages addressed in state grant program BY TAYLER SHAW TSHAW@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Pirates Cove Family Aquatic Center in Englewood, announced June 23 that it will be closed every Monday for the rest of the 2022 season due to staffing shortages. Swimming lessons at the Englewood Recreation Center have also been canceled because of staffing shortages, the City of Englewood announced on its website. Englewood is not alone. According to the Colorado Sun, there have also been reports of lifeguard shortages and pool opening delays in Longmont, Fort Collins, Brighton, Wheat Ridge, Boulder and Aurora. Amid reports of staffing shortages at swimming pools throughout Colorado, Gov. Jared Polis announced new efforts to help fix the

problem, including a new grant program to help offer higher pay, a waiver allowing 16- and 17-year-old lifeguards to work more overtime and a grant that will offer $1,000 to those who successfully complete training and begin employment as a lifeguard, according to a June 21 news release from Polis’ office. “Spending time at a local public pool is a fun and healthy way to enjoy our beautiful Colorado summers. But across the state we need to fix the shortage of lifeguards and pool workers to open closed pools and expand operating hours as we head into July 4th weekend and the heat of summer,” Polis said. The Pools Special Initiative 2022 To stop staffing shortages and pool limitations and closures, one of the efforts Polis announced on June 21 is a new grant program: Pools Special Initiative 2022. According to the news release, this is a one-time grant program that aims to incentivize and retain public
swimming pool employees. The program is a partnership between the Colorado Department of Local Affairs and the Office of Economic Development and International Trade’s Outdoor Recreation Industry Office. The grant has $350,000 in available funding, and eligible recipients of the grant include local governments operating a public swimming pool that is experiencing issues with recruiting and retaining staff this summer. The maximum amount a grant applicant can receive is $25,000. According to the news release, “local governments are encouraged to utilize federal stimulus funds to match this grant opportunity.” Funds can be used for expenses related to recruiting, attracting and retaining public swimming pool employees, such as offering pay increases or signing bonuses. Applications were being accepted until June 28, and awards will be made July 1. The grant program is expected to end Sept. 30, 2022.

Employment. “The Reskilling, Upskilling, and Nextskilling Workers (RUN) grant sweetens the deal by allowing teens to earn money while they complete the necessary training and secure the certifications needed to be a lifeguard at our pools. Interested teens and their parents should visit their local workforce center or cdle.colorado.gov/ jobs-training to get support signing up.” To help increase available staffing capacity, the department also announced that it is issuing an emergency waiver effective immediately through Sept. 5, 2022, that will allow 16- and 17-year-old lifeguards to work more overtime if they want to. Under this waiver, these lifeguards can work no more than 10 hours per day and 54 hours per week. “Coloradans should be able safely enjoy time with friends and family during the hot summer months, and we’re going to get more pools open and expand hours,” Polis said.

more robotic surgery than any other hospital in Colorado. “Our community is seeking robotic surgical options as this technique affords physicians more precision, flexibility and control than is possible with conventional approaches,” said hospital CEO Kirk McCarty. “We are extraordinarily proud of the surgeons who work here as well as our dedicated robotics OR team who were instrumental in helping us design this new center. They are passionate about what they do and deliver exceptional high-quality, compassionate care.” The expansion, which began construction last November, is a $20 million investment that will allow surgeons to focus on specialty procedures in gynecology, bariatrics and urology. The new center was strategically built next to the gynecology department because of the number of procedures being done for women. As robotic technology has advanced over the years, surgeons are using the equipment more in treating issues with the female reproductive system. Sky Ridge Chief Operating Officer Will Bertram said that along with the new center, the hospital will continue to have three robots in the main OR as well as a number of other robotic navigation options in our Spine & Total Joint Center. “These innovative techniques help us offer a broader spectrum of care to our community,” he said. “In addition we are proud to be the first hospital in the metro area to earn Center of Excellence distinction from Surgical Review Corporation (SRC) for our commitment to the highest quality care.” Sky Ridge offers robotic expertise in the following areas: • Bariatric surgery • Colorectal surgery • Gynecologic surgery • Gynecologic oncology • General surgery • Orthopedic surgery • Spine surgery • Thoracic surgery • Urologic surgery • Bronchoscopy

Music therapist visits Koelbel Library to raise awareness Technique helps veterans, stroke patients and others BY TAYLER SHAW TSHAW@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
When Brittany Costa began playing the clarinet about 20 years ago, she had no idea it would lead her on a path to becoming a music therapist for veterans, children struggling with their mental health, people facing grief, premature babies and countless others. “Music therapy is very much musically involved, but therapeutically involved as well,” said Costa, who works as a music therapist at Creative Remedies and Rocky Mountain Music Therapy. “It just provides a way to achieve that optimal wellness to make you feel better, whether it’s quality of life, or soothing qualities, or working on injuries, or mental health issues — whatever it may be.” Despite the versatility of music therapy, there are still many people who don’t know about it, Costa said. “Music therapy is not very acknowledged as a mental health practice,” she said, adding that most health insurance policies do not cover music therapy services. “People don’t even know what it is, and they don’t respect it. Our governor just vetoed a bill that is title protection for music therapists in the state of Colorado.” On May 27, Governor Jared Polis vetoed the Music Therapist Title Protec-

tion bill, HB 22-1399, that would have made it a deceptive trade practice, and class 2 misdemeanor, for someone to claim they are a music therapist unless they hold an active music therapist board-certified credential. To help raise awareness about music therapy and advocate for it, Costa has been offering informational sessions about music therapy, and on June 14, she visited Koelbel Library, a part of Arapahoe Libraries located at 5955 S. Holly St. in Centennial, and she presented to a group of about 13 people about music therapy and its

value. The evolution of music therapy Costa began her presentation with an introduction to music therapy, which she said started in the 1940s during World War II. Musicians, she said, would play music as injured soldiers were tended to. “That was how music therapy started — was just to provide [a] better quality of life,” she said, explaining the musicians would play soothing and familiar sounds of home to the soldiers to help them feel better. “And then it developed into something else.” Music therapy evolved to incorporate psychology and became something that could help people in a variety of ways, she said. This form of therapy is a reflexive process that is evidence-based, and it involves setting personalized goals with clients, using musical and therapeutic interventions to meet those goals and measuring progress along the way. The client, she said, could be a child with autism looking to practice social skills, a stroke patient working on speech and mobility skills, a premature baby that needs help relaxing to help improve their breathing, military veterans facing grief and trauma, and so on. “Music therapy is really helpful for anyone in any point of their life,” Costa said. “Even if you think, like, you’re the healthiest person in the world, I could probably find a way to get music therapy to benefit you in some nature.” One of Costa’s clients, a preteen girl, is working on self love, confidence, self identity and emotional expression and identification, she said. The young girl came to her at the end of last summer, after she was hospitalized due to attempting suicide, Costa said. “She had a lot of stress, anxiety, depression that she was harboring. A lot of it was peer pressure,” Costa said. During the client’s stay in the hospital, she experienced music therapy and said it was one of the coolest things she had ever done, so once she was discharged, her mom reached out to Costa to begin sessions, Costa said. “To watch her grow has been such an amazing experience,” Costa said, explaining that she could relate to her client feeling peer pressure and
burying her emotions. “I’m gay and where I grew up was not very accepting, so I had to keep that closeted for a very, very long time.” Costa self-disclosed to her client that when she was younger, she also dealt with feeling negative emotions. “She opened up a lot because we related to each other so much,” Costa said. “Seeing her grow and become more confident, and love the things that make her so unique and different from her friends, has been one of the best rewards.” There are different ways music can be used in a therapeutic session, Costa said. The music therapist can simply play music for the client to listen to, or the music therapist and client can create music together, either assembling original music or recreating other songs. Another method is for the music therapist and client to improvise together and make up new music as the session goes, something Costa enjoys doing. Clients do not need any prior experience playing music, Costa said. As a formally trained musician, she has all the musical training needed for the session.
Becoming a music therapist is a ‘lot of work’ To become a certified music thera- o pist, one must attend an approved c music therapy program, like a college o program, Costa said, as well as complete a 1,200-hour clinical internship. S Music therapists also must be able d to play guitar, piano and percussion instruments, as well as be trained in t voice performance. r “It’s a lot of work to become a music p therapist,” she said. A few states also 2 require licensure, she said, though fi Colorado does not. All music theram pists in the U.S., however, have to passi t a certification board exam. A current issue facing the industry is that people who claim to be a music f therapist do not have to prove their t c certifications, Costa said, allowing for people who are not formal music M i therapists to claim they are one. This is an issue because although i a musician volunteering to play at a n hospital, for example, may be able to l provide therapeutic music to people, the musician does not have the proper t training in psychology and therapy h treatments to be able to de-escalate a g situation in which a person becomes triggered or lashes out during a ses- M t sion, Costa said. s “The title protection is just to separate the actual music therapists p from other musicians who consider a themselves music therapists,” Costa said about the bill that Polis recently S w vetoed. s From clarinet to Army to musical therapy The journey to becoming a music therapist was unexpected. In 2006, when Costa was 17, she wanted to continue her musical education with the clarinet, but she had no way to pay for college. Because of the promise of a fully paid undergraduate education, Costa decided to enroll in the U.S. Army. She studied clarinet performance and became classically trained. She was on active duty for a total of six to seven years, she said, and she is currently in SEE MUSIC, P11

DCSD is looking to a bond/MLO to help cover competitive staff salaries and upcoming needed capital projects and construction. The 2021-22 Master Capital Plan identifies between $765 million and $847 million in capital projects, including $423 million for new construction. While the resolution to move forward with bond/MLO questions was originally on the board’s consent agenda, Director Susan Meek asked to make it a discussion item because she hoped to get more information regarding the community’s thoughts on a proposed mill levy override and/or a bond. “I’m 100% on board that we need this and I want a viable plan for how we’re going to be successful getting this to pass,” Meek said. A recent survey presented by the Mill Bond Exploratory Committee at the June 7 board meeting showed 39% of voters would approve a bond/MLO in Novembe and 18% were undecided.

She stipulated that the survey would run from July 11 to Aug. 12. “The next reason (voters didn’t support a funding initiative) was a lack of trust in the district and how it spends its money,” Meek said. “That’s really the top item I think we can use feedback to develop a game plan to be successful in November.” The motion failed on a 3-3 vote, with directors Mike Peterson, Kaylee Winegar and Christy Williams dissenting. Peterson said he was supportive of the idea to get more community feedback, but felt it was too early on in the process to survey voters since the board doesn’t have the specific ballot question identified. Winegar and Williams also said they agreed with getting more community feedback, but added they wanted more time to discuss what that would look like. “I’m concerned about the timeline we’re putting around it, the dates and the extra work we’re putting on staff without having more clarity around what’s needed,” Williams said. Meek also motioned to make the community survey results that were presented at the June 9 meeting available to the public on the district’s website. Directors agreed that was a good idea and voted to place the results on the Mill Bond Exploratory Committee page on the district website.

“And so, we’re likely going to have to break it into multiple phases, and this next phase of design development is where we’re going to be able to dive in to figure out what the priorities are for the front end, what might be able to wait for a phase two, and then, of course, identifying project funding partners,” he continued. During a study session on June 7, Good said phase one of the project is estimated to cost about $25 million. During the session, Mayor Jackie Millet said she is hopeful Douglas County will consider investing in the park, as it will be a regional amenity. South Suburban Parks and Recreation has budgeted $300,000 this calendar year for design development, Good said. The city is working within its internal departments to prioritize next steps, such as looking at traffic flow and parking lot sizes, as well as coordinating more with the infrastructure development, he said. Millet told Good it is important that pathways for pedestrians and bikers be considered in the making of the park, saying she
wants to make sure residents in nearby neighborhoods can walk into the park, that the park is connected to the existing trail system and there is a direct path for pedestrians and bikers from the west to east side. “The importance of connections cannot be overstated, and making sure we have those before everything gets built up around it, I think, is essential,” she said. “Let’s preserve those connections now while we can.” According to the resolution for the regional park site plan, the project is years away, but it’s been valuable to do planning work now so the park can integrate with the development of Lyric, a new neighborhood development by Shea Homes that is part of RidgeGate East, as well as the drainage project happening along Happy Canyon Creek. To help keep the community updated on the park’s progress, the city has created a webpage, CityofLoneTree.com/RegionalPark. Good said the webpage can help residents understand the planning and development process, the design elements of the park and the project’s next steps. “We’re also thinking this [webpage] is going to be a really great spot for when

folks are looking to actually buy homes in the neighborhood that’s next to the park. We want to make sure that they know what they’re moving in next to,” Good said, adding there will be some lit fields in the park that not everyone may want in their backyard. “And so it’s really, really important for us to make sure that we’re communicating that

I
The skinny mom
currently coach a volleyball team. When meeting with one of the parents, I mentioned that I had four kids. She promptly looked me up and down and said, MOTHER “Wow. I thought women with that MUSINGS many kids were supposed to let themselves go!” I’m guessing she was implying that I looked slimmer than she expected for giving birth four times. And despite my Stacey Carruth understanding of what she was trying to do, I was frustrated. I never had a “skinny” body. I always had a healthy layer of chub growing up, which only increased in my college years. I have many memories of kids in elementary and middle school calling me “fat” or “the Pillsbury dough girl.” Since then, I’ve attached being liked and having friends to my weight. I started having children in my early 20s. Obviously, my weight fluctuated a lot in the nine years of bearing and nursing four babies. To no one’s surprise, my body always got more compliments or attention when I was thinner than when I was heavier. Currently, I am at the lowest weight I’ve been since middle school. I’ve been at this weight since 2018. But there’s a reason for this: genetics, time and money. I spent that year carefully planning my workouts to be a balance of weights and cardio. I went to the gym for two hours daily. The gym had a daycare for my four kids. I hired a health coach. I bought meal plans and apps. And I had the money and availability to do all of these things at the same time. And it paid off! I had chiseled arms and low enough body fat to get lots of attention. The first thing out of people’s mouths were, “wow, you look so good!”, “Your face! It’s all gone!” You look good
You look good You look good But it didn’t make me feel good. This may sound weird, but that attention and those compliments REALLY bothered me. To be honest, I thought I looked good before. So now I wondered, what was everyone thinking before I lost weight? Here’s another thing, I didn’t feel any different. My body still looked the same in the mirror to me, just smaller. I still nitpicked at myself every time I looked at it. Instead of enjoying it, like I promised myself I would do for so many years if I lost the weight, I just looked for the next thing that needed to change … there was always something. The only thing that my appearance demonstrated was where I spent my time. When I was working on my body, I was not working on my writing, I did not have a career, I wasn’t reading, I wasn’t going to school, I wasn’t starting a new business, I wasn’t taking care of an elderly parent, I wasn’t dealing with a mental illness, I wasn’t unemployed, I wasn’t training ill-behaved dogs, I wasn’t volunteering with refugees and I wasn’t traveling. There are trade-offs. And just because you choose something else besides having chiseled arms, it doesn’t make you unhealthy or less worthy of attention. You can be healthy AND chubby. To reach the look of magazines and certain celebrities, it takes a huge amount of time and energy and an undeviating nutrition plan for most people. Are people who don’t have the time to do what I did less worthy of attention? Are people who don’t have the money to do what I did less healthconscious? Are people who don’t have my body type less beautiful? No. That’s the correct answer. Though what we choose to compliment and to whom we choose to give our attention will be the ultimate deciding factor. Stacey Carruth is a mother of four living in Arapahoe County
MUSIC
“One of my goals as a music therapist is to bring more awareness of it and to provide awareness — to bring education to people, like this. This was awesome,” Costa said about the June 14 event. Becoming a music therapist was a consideration of Jennifer Noguera, a program manager for Opportunity and Living, which is a day program for adults with special needs. She hasn’t pursued it yet because of how much time it would take, she said, but when she learned about the music therapy event happening at Koelbel Library, she came along with about eight clients at the day program. Noguera enjoyed that towards the end of the presentation, Costa offered a music-assisted relaxation session for people who attended. Her biggest takeaway from the event was the therapeutic benefits music therapy can provide. “It’s just great, overall. Something, like she said, that people don’t know about, but even if you’re quoteunquote healthy, it’s still very beneficial,” Noguera said. “People should look into it.”

the Army National Guard in Colorado and she plays part-time with the 101st Army Band. Costa discovered music therapy in about 2017 or 2018, she said, when she got a job as the department coordinator and project manager for a music therapy department at Berklee College of Music in Boston. Not knowing what music therapy was, she began learning about it and soon became interested. She decided to pursue the Equivalency Plus Master of Music Therapy at Augsburg University in Minneapolis. She will graduate from the program after completing her thesis and final course this summer, she said. This year, she also completed her 1,200-hour clinical internship and became a certified music therapist. She looks forward to continuing to help serve a variety of clients, especially veterans, while also raising awareness about music therapy overall.

Dry conditions impact water supplies Centennial Water asks residents in service area to conserve BY THELMA GRIMES TGRIMES@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Centennial Water is warning Highlands Ranch residents to cut down on water use as dry conditions continue and storage levels dip nearly 30% below the June average. In a recent press release, Centennial Water officials said the communities of Highlands Ranch, Solstice and northern Douglas County have already been under a drought watch since April 25. In the statement, Centennial Water said with the exception of the late May snowstorm and a few days of rain, drought conditions have continued to be warm and dry. According to the water company, which supplies water and wastewater services to about 100,000 customers, Centennial Water’s storage reservoirs have continued to drop. As of June 21, they were at 37% capacity, which is 30% less water in storage than the average for June over the past 10 years. If conditions continue to stay warm and dry, and reservoir levels continue to drop, the district says it may need to enact Stage 1 drought restrictions. Last year in May, data provided by the water district had Centennial Water’s reservoir storage at 6,782 acre-feet, or 39% of the 17,200 acrefeet capacity. The median storage level for May over the last 10 years has been 9,495 acre-feet. Water districts measure water levels through acre-feet, which is about 326,000 gallons, equaling the size of a football field covered with water one foot deep. “Water is a precious resource and ongoing drought conditions force us to consider making hard choices,” said General Manager Sam Calkins. “While we know Stage 1 restrictions would present challenges for the community, we have to balance those challenges with our mission of ensuring a safe and secure water supply today and in the future. Our hope is that making small sacrifices today, when needed, will provide a more secure future.”
A municipal well in Highlands Ranch, utilized by Centennial Water and Sanitation District, pulls water to the surface from the PHOTOS BY ELLIOTT WENZLER Denver Aquifer.
As part of the solution, Centennial Water asks customers to always be water wise to help conserve water both inside and outside their home, especially this summer. According to the statement, if the community can come together to cut back their water use by 10%, water supplies will benefit in the long run. Centennial Water is recommending residents do simple things such as installing water-efficient spray heads, adjusting lawn mowers to a higher setting, installing a rain sensor or signing up for a free Slow the Flow irrigation inspection from Resource Central. Customers can learn more about these programs at centennialwater. org/rebates.
Centennial Water has a Drought Response Plan designed to maximize available water supplies and reduce water use during times of water shortage caused by drought. The drought plan has many tools Centennial Water can employ to improve water supply, partner with large irrigators and reduce overall consumption. The plan also identifies indicators for different stages of drought. Stage 1 restrictions include limiting outdoor irrigation for residential and commercial customers to one or two days per week. In addition, Stage 1 drought rates would go into effect. Drought rates impact customers who use more water than what is allocated in their individual water budget. Customers who stay
within their water budget would not see an increase in water rates. Drought rates were approved by the Board of Directors in December. While there are Stage 1 and Stage 2 levels in place, in 2021 Centennial Water never implemented the options, staying in a Drought Watch stage all summer. During the June 27 board meeting, Kari Larese, the Centennial Water community relations manager, said staff recomended moving from the Drought Watch designation to Stage 1. However, with not enough board members present, no action was taken. Larese said the board will likely take the issue up again at another board meeting, which has not yet been scheduled.

s a child, I grew to hate road trips. My parents did not like flying anywhere, which meant any family trip was by car. I hated it. I’m talking about trips that would make the original “National Lampoon’s Family Vacation” look functional. Three older brothers, parents and long trips to go visit our version of Cousin Eddie. That led to me hating the thought of FROM THE road trips as an adult. If I can fly, I will be willing to go. Someone says drive — EDITOR and I’m out. Then, we get to this summer. With the economy being what it is and being short of time because, let’s face it, parenting seems to revolve around running a kids’ taxi service, I have had to reconsider my hatred of long car rides. Most summers we will visit an aunt in Orlando and brother in PennsylvaThelma Grimes nia and my daughter’s biological sister in Oregon. This year, flight costs being what they are, that’s just not feasible. That led to me looking at what else we could do. My parents said they liked the idea of taking a trip with my children and me to South Dakota. After looking at calendars and trying to figure it out, we went on a spur-of-the-moment-type trip to the Black Hills. Getting up early to pack in a family of eight — my children, my parents and a nephew and niece. At 5:30 a.m. with everyone inside the Expedition, I fixed the rearview mirror, seeing all the faces staring up front. The memories of childhood car trips came flooding back. I dreaded putting that car in reverse and starting the trek. Fast forward six hours of actual quiet driving and we made it to the city where the famous Mount Rushmore sits. The trip was fantastic. My kids love farms. We went to the little farm in nearby Keystone three times, letting my kids hold baby goats, feed orphaned calves and run from the older goats wanting food. We saw the mountain. I will tell you my 5-year-old was not overly impressed. The farm was his thing. We saw all the sights and had a blast. Driving home, again in a quiet car, I realized a few things. Today’s kids have tablets and phones and keep their heads down most of the trip. Separating the kids who fight the most was also good planning on my part. The family time I got with my mom, dad, kids and brother’s children was worth every minute. In our busy lives, we tend to forget the value of taking some time to relax at something as simple as what I would call a very large petting zoo. We forget the value of walking with your kids down a tourist town’s main street to look at a variety of items, joke, eat ice cream and have quality time together without talking about schedules, chores and all that day-today home stuff. Will I go on another road trip? I won’t say I loved the gas and food prices on the trip (although still lower than plane tickets). However, I will say six hours in a car with family is no longer going to be a phobia. I can see me doing it again, and instead of dread as I hit reverse, there will likely be a lot more optimism.

he five most sought-after words in amateur golf are, “That’s good, pick it up.” We say that to our playing partner when the putt that is left is considered short enough to call it “good.” Sometimes the length of the putt left to make comes into question, especially when someone is not playing so well that day and their friends show a little mercy on them. Luckily, I have been the one receiving that mercy lately. There are times when the player actually needing to make the putt decides that they have had enough already and do one of two things: They either pick it up themselves or they take a casual approach and putt it toward the hole, indicating that he or she felt that it was good and the last attempt at the putt was close enough for the gimme. There may be gimmes in amateur golf or even in the PGA during match play, but when it comes to life, most times we aren’t finished yet. We still have work to do, projects to finish, contributions to make, our family and friends to love. No, we are still a long way from being finished yet. No matter where we started, the detours we have taken, the long roads we have journeyed, and even the many mistakes we have made, there is still time to get it right and finish what was once started by us, in us, or for us. There’s a great song by Brandon Heath called “Wait and See.” And in this song, he sings the lyrics, “He’s not finished with me yet,” as he refers to God’s plan and purpose for his life. And if we listen to the song or even just find the lyrics, I encourage us to reflect on what those lyrics could mean in our own life. I remember speaking with my great aunt

over the past few years as she was approaching 90, and she would say that she wished somedays that the Lord would just take her. And I would remind her that, “He’s not finished with you yet.” My great aunt was living in an assisted living facility, and really didn’t have a lot of mobility left in her tired legs. As residents came and Michael Norton went, she became saddened by their departure. It was during one of those calls where she just wanted to go to heaven and be with my great uncle. So, I said it to her again, “He’s not finished with you yet.” During our call the following week, my great aunt’s tonality was one of optimism and happiness. A new resident had moved in, and she didn’t have any family left to visit her. My great aunt befriended her and even though struggled with her own mobility, she made it a point to spend time and listen to her new friend’s life story and journey. They went to the dining hall together, and each time I would call her, she would tell me more about her new friend and the life she led. My great aunt and uncle lived with awesome faith and purpose. He served our country for 20 years in the Air Force and had been stationed around the world at different times. Most times she moved with him and supported him. She felt serving God and her husband was her greatest purpose. And now, nearing 90, she found a new purpose.

SBA helps with disaster recovery
C
olorado is no stranger to disasters, both natural and man-made. The state has a long history of natural disasters including flooding, wildfires, tornadoes and drought. The recent Marshall Fire in Boulder County is an example of this problem. It is more important now for residents and small businesses to remember that the best course of action to limit damage from natural disasters is preparing before the disaster hits. The Biden administration and SBA Administrator Isabella Casillas Guzman have been at the forefront of ensuring that small businesses and nonprofits, as well as individual homeowners and renters, impacted by natural disasters around the nation have the support and recovery relief that they need, and the tools to build resilience. Natural disasters are not just more devastating; they are also coming faster, more frequently, and are often rapidly changing in their complexity and scope. In 2020, the United States suf-
fered 22 separate billion-dollar disasters — the most in our history — but experts in the space expect that number to continue to climb. As the anchors of our communities, small businesses rely on resilient Aikta Marcoulier neighborhoods for their customers and their employees, and the SBA’s disaster relief loan programs help communities recover swiftly. • SBA’s disaster loan program is the only federal assistance program that provides private property owners an affordable way to mitigate disaster impacts and protect their homes, families, businesses, employees, and livelihoods against the next disaster. • SBA disaster loan funds can be used to cover insurance deductibles, refinance an existing mortgage, pay for mitigation and protective upgrades, relocate to a safer and lower-risk area, and

more. These loans have fixed interest rates amortized over 30 years for low monthly payments and offer an affordable way for property owners to fully repair/ replace their disaster losses not covered by other resources. • Borrowers using SBA’s physical disaster loan programs are also eligible for up to 20% of their total physical losses, as verified by SBA, to incorporate additional protective measures to mitigate future damage and losses against the next disaster. • SBA offers non-pandemic-related economic injury disaster loans to help small businesses, small agricultural cooperatives, and most private nonprofit organizations located in a declared disaster area rebuild after suffering a substantial loss. • The SBA has several local resource partners to assist business owners develop a disaster continuity plan — whether your business is in the relief, recovery, or continuity phase. In Colorado, we have multiple resource partners statewide including Small
Business Development Centers, SCORE, a Veteran Business Outreach Center, and a Women’s Business Center to assist you with your disaster planning. The best way to mitigate the effects of a disaster is to create a disaster continuity plan. This plan should discuss how you will contact family, friends, employees and first responders following a disaster. You should also review your insurance coverage to make sure it is current and covers all necessary costs. Most importantly, practice and evaluate your plan with family members, managers, and staff to make sure it works. For more information on SBA’s disaster programs please visit www.sba.gov/disaster, and remember to follow us on Twitter @ SBArockymtn.

Jim Genasci, on right, celebrates Pride on June 23 at Wind Crest with Ray Vanoski, center, and SJ Light, who wears a sash and cowboy hat featuring buttons collected at various Pride events since 1983 by Genasci’s late wife, Jean.
ighlands Ranch resident Jim Genasci started going to Pride events with his wife Jean in 1983, when their son Gary came out. For years, the Genascis traveled across all 50 states and Canada attending Pride parades and rallies. At all of them, Jean collected dozens of buttons. She wore her collection on a sash, and then, when the sash got full, on a cowboy hat. When Jean died about two years ago, Jim asked their longtime friend SJ Light to carry on the tradition of wearing the button-covered sash and cowboy hat to celebrate Pride. On June 23, Jim celebrated his 39th straight year of Pride with Light and over 100 more friends, families and neighbors at Wind Crest’s 3rd annual parade. “I haven’t missed one yet,” Jim said. Light sported the sash and cowboy hat for the parade through the Wind Crest neighborhood and during the afternoon

In its third year, the event is popular at Wind Crest, drawing multiple generations to celebrate love and acceptance. Wind Crest Associate Executive Director Kathy Dilger said part of the living facility’s mission is to promote acceptance and applaud diversity. “Having a seat at the table, having a voice and having that voice be heard is what we strive for as a community,” Dilger said. “We’re not perfect in that, but we really try to hear people and accept them.” As the event wrapped up, residents and staff chatted about plans for next year’s parade. Light notes they’ll have to do something special for Jim’s 40th anniversary of Pride.

In heated real estate market, is it better to be a renter? Owning a home now costs $987 more per month BY BRAMMHI BALARAJAN AND MARVIS GUTIERREZ THE COLORADO SUN
Feel like there’s no chance you can buy a house? You may be better off renting anyway. With national average mortgage payments of $2,576.39, that’s above average rent of $1,589 in Colorado, according to ApartmentList. Owning a home now costs $987 more per month than renting. And while it’s overall better to rent right now with rising mortgage rates, some cities’ average rental prices are way above the rest. Superior, Highlands Ranch and Castle Rock are among the most expensive cities to live in for renters, with the average rent in Superior through May at $2,399, perhaps because many homes were burned or damaged by smoke in the Marshall fire. That’s $810 above Colorado’s average and $1,056 above the national average. In contrast, Greeley, Englewood and Colorado Springs are among the cities with the lowest rent prices. If you’re a renter in Denver, you might want to stay that way. Despite being one of the state’s hottest real estate markets, Denver is one of the least expensive cities in Colorado in

terms of rent pricing. The city has an average monthly rent of $1,572, below Colorado’s average. In comparison, Denver’s median housing listing price is $695,000 and the average monthly mortgage payment is $2,540 as of January. Being a homeowner costs $968 more monthly than living as a renter in
Denver. But … evictions? As we approach a year since the eviction moratorium expired, eviction filings — for the most part — have stayed below pre-pandemic numbers. Although we’ve seen a gradual climb in evictions since
early 2021, eviction numbers have stayed below the 2019 numbers, prepandemic numbers and the 20-year average. March was the sole month, which saw a jump in eviction filings, with 3,667, in a return to pre-pandemic numbers. While evictions have been steadily increasing since the moratorium expired July 31, evictions declined in April and May, both in the Denver area and Colorado as a whole. Henry Eisler from the Colorado Apartment Association expressed confidence in the strength of the housing market, noting Coloradans have been able to make rent at high rates. “The uptick in March didn’t reflect a dramatic increase — just a return to the pre-pandemic, statewide average, as Colorado’s rental market recovered from the pandemic and 14-month moratorium,” Eisler said. “The subsequent decline in eviction filings during April and May is a strong positive indicator for the health of Colorado’s multifamily housing market.” This story is from The Colorado Sun, a journalist-owned news outlet based in Denver and covering the state.

More than 200 visit Centennial Bike to Work Day station Breakfast, maintenance provided BY TAYLER SHAW TSHAW@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
For many participants in this year’s Bike To Work Day on June 22, they weren’t just headed to work — they were headed to one of the 186 stations offering snacks, refreshments and resources as part of the annual event. Between 6:30 a.m. and 10 a.m., more than 200 people visited the Bike to Work Day station at Arapahoe Road Trailhead, located at 15200 E. Arapahoe Road in Centennial, said Raymond Winn, an open spaces planner and bicycle and pedestrian planner for Arapahoe
County. The station was hosted by Arapahoe County Open Spaces in collaboration with the City of Centennial and Denver South Transportation Management Association. “A lot of people are just grateful that we’re here — grateful that we’re supporting the event,” Winn said. “We had a really good turnout today.” Bikers hungry for breakfast were in luck, as the station offered free breakfast burritos fromLittle Anita’s as well as pastries and coffee from the Mr. Kolache food truck. The station also featured bike mechanics from the Giant of Centennial bike shop, who were there to help answer questions and fix problems. Sam Dale, the service manager of the bike shop, said the
they worked on 20 to 30 bicycles throughout the morning, offering a beneficial service to participants. “A lot of the support usually involves getting out to a bike shop and paying some money,” Dale said. “That can be a turn off for a lot of people, so just to have that here, to have friendly faces in these booths, too, and a lot of free swag — it’s great.” Bicyclist Bill Palmer stopped at the station while heading down the Cherry Creek Regional Trail, a 40mile route that spans from Douglas County to Denver. A resident in unincorporated Arapahoe County, he was on his way to Parker.
When asked how he knew about the Bike to Work Day station, he said, “I do it every year.” In addition to seasoned bikers like Palmer, Winn was also eager to see new and occasional bikers at the event. “It’s important because it gives people a taste of bike commuting,” Winn said, adding that biking can seem daunting and overwhelming to some. “It gives them that opportunity to try out commuting, and that’s the whole basis of it — to get people to do it outside of Bike to Work Day.” SEE BIKE TO WORK, P24

Summer baseball gets clubby Many players spend season with teams not connected to their high schools BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Summer baseball in Colorado for players of high school age is still the same but in some ways very different. That might sound contradictory, but it is not. Development is still the main reason why young athletes spend their summers playing baseball. However, many players are not playing with their high school teammates, but rather joining club teams or organizations that on many occasions travel to outof-state tournaments. “Everybody played for their high schools back in the day but nobody hardly does now,” said Cherry Creek coach Marc Johnson. “We’re one of the few high school teams around the state in the summer. Most kids play at the club level. “The teams are better now. They are better than the high school teams because they get the better kids out of each high school.” Most summer baseball divides the players into age groups from U9 to U18. SEE CLUBS, P31
Slammers shortstop Thomas Stewart, a player at Mullen High School, puts a tag on Cherry Creek’s Eddie Esquivel (40) during a U17 game on June 21. Esquivel was safe with a stolen base and Cherry Creek rallied in the bottom of the ninth inning to pull out a 17-16 PHOTO BY JIM BENTON victory.

The Bike to Work Day station at Arapahoe Road Trailhead.
BIKE TO WORK FROM PAGE 22
Commuting by bike is beneficial for many reasons, including mental and physical health, reducing congestion on the roadways and to save money, Winn said. “It’s a lot cheaper to own and operate a bicycle than it is to own and operate a car,” he said. A target audience for Arapahoe County Open Spaces is people who are interested in biking but concerned about safety, Winn said, adding he wants to get those people feeling more comfortable and safe with biking. One tool Arapahoe County Open Spaces offers is its Explore Arapahoe County Bike and Trail Map, which helps people plan ahead and prepare for bike commutes. “Everything is organized by the bicycle facility type,” Winn said, explaining that routes on the map have labels for routes. “It’s all color coded on the map so they can figure out their level of comfort and then a route that coincides with their level of comfort.” The free map was updated last year, he said, so about 10% more

trail was added. In Arapahoe County, there are more than 70 miles of interconnected trails, said Lizzie Mayer, the communications business partner for Arapahoe County Open Spaces. The trail system is possible because of the funding through the Arapahoe County Open Space Sales and Use Tax, she said, which was permanently reauthorized by voters last year. In addition to highlighting the county’s trail system, the event also offered a great opportunity for showcasing the Arapahoe Road Trailhead, Winn said. “Not a lot of people know about this trailhead,” Winn said, adding that people can park at the Arapahoe Road Trailhead and ride their bike along the Cherry Creek Regional Trail. “This was actually a collaboration with the City of Centennial, so it’s really to serve the City of Centennial’s residents.” Overall, the event brought together people of all ages and abilities, Winn said. “It’s so wonderful to see people out and enjoying our trail system,” Mayer said. “And I’m really proud that people look forward to coming to this specific Arapahoe County Open Spaces station.”
