A new court ﬁling from attorneys for the Douglas County School Board argues that directors didn’t ask former superintendent Corey Wise to resign and maintains one-on-one conversations do not violate the Colorado Open Meetings Law. An Aug. 8 response to a request for a judge’s permanent ruling in favor of plaintiff Robert Marshall continues to assert that board directors Mike Peterson, Becky Myers, Christy Williams and Kaylee Winegar did not behave illegally. Marshall sued the four directors following the ﬁring of Wise, alleging the decision to terminate Wise took place outside of public meetings. In a preliminary injunction, Douglas County Judge Jeffrey Holmes found the director’s one-on-one meetings with Wise and each other did break the state’s open meetings law and ordered the board to abide by rules doing public business in a public setting.Since then, Marshall and his attorney have argued a recording of a conversation Peterson and

A pursuit in early February 2019 preceded a fatal crash involving a driver of a stolen car who was fleeing Douglas County deputies.

An investigation into Douglas County Commissioner Lora Thomas found that while she did do some of the things of which she was accused, she didn’t create a hostile work environment or open the county up to legal liability. The report shows answers to 11 allegations asked by Thomas’ fellow commissioners — George Teal and Abe Laydon. They both have said the results conﬁrm their belief that Thomas should not serve as the board’s chair but Thomas said she believes the report exonerates her. “The full sum-and-substance of the report conﬁrms not a single illegal action was committed by me nor did I place the county in any peril of legal liability as constantly alleged by Laydon and Teal for the past several months,” Thomas wrote in an email to her supporters Wednesday.

Minimize disruption, stay alert is core message from state o cials

Dear Davis Schilken, I recently had dinner with my family. My siblings were talking to my parents about their Estate Planning documents they just had done. Unfortunately, I had no idea what they were talking about. Both my siblings and my parents have their affairs in order. I would like to do the same, but I am not sure where to start. What are some questions I should be asking an Estate Planning Sincerely,Attorney?

• Who should be in charge if I become incapacitated or pass away?

• Do we own our assets jointly or separately?

There are no mask mandates and no quarantine rules in Colorado’s COVID guidance for the 2022-23 school year, but public health officials say they’re still tracking the disease and want school administrators to be open and honest with families about cases and clusters. New guidance released Aug. 10 largely treats COVID like other communicable diseases, continuing a policy the state established in February at the end of the first omicron wave. At the same time, the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment is continuing to make free rapid antigen tests widely available to schools and child care centers, both for weekly testing programs and for students to use at home. Colorado saw high levels of COVID-19 all summer, with a sustained plateau in hospitalizations that began to decline this month. Bailey Fosdick, a member of the state’s COVID modeling team at the Colorado School of Public Health, said the lack of mitigation measures like masking may contribute to some spread in classrooms, but the combination of vaccination and recent infection should put a brake on“Eventransmission.withschool starting, all of our models suggest cases and hospitalizations will continue to decline through at least the end of September,” Fosdick said. “And that’s due to the high levels of infections we saw in the spring and summer. We estimate that we still have quite a bit of immunity in the population, particularly immunity from severe disease.”StateEpidemiologist Rachel Herlihy said the new guidance aims to minimize disruptions for students and families while remaining alert for signs of clusters or higher transmission that might indicate a need for stepped-up precautions. Colorado is in a very different position than it was two years ago, she said, and that warrants a new approach. Chalkbeat is a nonprofit news site covering educational change in public schools.

Now Beatty and his wife are sharing their hospitality for a living. Quality food, caring for guests and education are all part of the mission of Zell’s Mountain Creperie. Most of Zell’s 16 employees are working on their education, either in high school or college, Beatty said. Because he believes education is one of the best ways to improve one’s environment, Zell’s will focus its philanthropic and marketing efforts on endeavors associated with schools and school activities. “Our idea is to open near big high schools — get involved with the high schools,” he said. “Anywhere from doing beneﬁt nights to helping sponsor, like, football teams or chess clubs.”Beatty could send out ﬂyers or pump marketing dollars into social media to promote his business. Instead, he hopes to see Zell’s Mountain Creperie partner with school groups and become a valuable piece of the communities it serves.

Call us at 303.566.4100 BY RACHEL LORENZ SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA High school students are a key part of the business model of a new fast-casual restaurant that opened its doors just in time for the school year.Zell’s Mountain Creperie, owned by James and Victoria Beatty, began serving crepes and paninis a third of a mile away from ThunderRidge High School in Highlands Ranch on July 9. Its second location, scheduled to open in November, is located across the street from Arapahoe High School in Centennial. Beatty is situating his eateries near schools with open campus lunch policies, he said, in order to draw a stable midday crowd of students in addition to attracting crepe lovers from the area. His wife is “an anti-fast-food person,” he said, and together they want to provide a quick, nutritious food option for teenagers.“Mosthigh school kids love crepes, and they love sandwiches,” said Beatty, who has two teens of his own.AtZell’s, paninis and crepes are made-to-order with savory ingredients such as turkey breast, mozzarella, sauteed mushrooms and peppers for a hearty entree or with sweet items like fresh strawberries, whipped cream and chocolate chips for a tasty treat. The paninis come on ciabatta rolls and the crepe batter is made from scratch in-house. The Highlands Ranch location runs a deal for students that order online. It consists of a two-topping crepe or panini with extra meat and cheese for $7.95 plus the option of a dessert crepe for $4 more. Located in a strip of small businesses near the intersection of Wildcat Reserve Parkway and Highlands Ranch Boulevard, Zell’s has table- and counter-seating for 20 — including four seats that overlook the crepe-making stations. One wall of the 1,200-square-foot venue is adorned with giant photographs of Zell am See in Austria, the business’s namesake. Several years ago, after hiking in the Alps with friends, Beatty had a deliciously light hamand-cheese crepe in that alpine town and inspiration struck. Although Beatty’s background is in real estate, the Greenwood Village resident wanted to get into the restaurant industry and was looking for a unique idea that could be standardized and replicated at multiple locations. He said he’s always been a hospitable person and even hosted Thanksgiving dinner for a group of international friends back when he was in college. “I love to cook,” he said. “I love to have parties. That’s kind of one of my favorite things to do.”

Many of the people employed at Zell’s Mountain Creperie in Highlands Ranch are also working on their education.

A political issue committee formed to recall the newly-elected Douglas County School Board directors will not be moving forward this November, citing the district’s plans to ask voters for a bond and mill levy override.DougCo’s Future, the political issue committee, shared a news release saying plans to recall school board directors Mike Peterson, Becky Myers, Christy Williams and Kaylee Winegar would be delayed out of a desire to see the district be successful with its potential funding questions. “A recall is coming. But because we are strong supporters of our school district and its funding needs, we do not want to take any action that might be perceived to negatively impact the November bond and mill levy override ballot measures.,” the release said. “We will continue our work organizing and fundraising in order to support this recall, restore our school board, and protect the future for our students.”

Future was formed on July 11 and has received around 130 donations through the fundraising platform ActBlue.Therecall website outlines the three main issues with the board directors as being a lack of transparency, concerns about a more conservative curriculum and failing to model good governance.

A planned discussion on the Douglas County School District’s equity policy was delayed after the school board had a lengthy conversation on Aug. 9 about the proposed bond and mill levy override questions.Earlier this year, the school board directed the superintendent to re-evaluate the district’s equity policy and its implementation with a deadline in September. Board agenda documents indicate Superintendent Erin Kane will ask the board to extend that deadline to June 2023 to collect more feedback and conduct more outreach.

Kane previously told Colorado Community Media that she hopes to hear from the teachers, parents and students about the fears and desires for the policy and move forward from there. Discussion about Kane’s plans to gather more information and engage the community through the school year was moved to the Aug. 23 board meeting. The district adopted the current equity policy in March 2021. Following the passage of the policy, several community members raised concerns that the district was teaching critical race theory, which is an academic and legal framework for exploring structural or systemic racism. Douglas County schools do not teach critical race theory, according to the district website.

It seems likely that the Douglas County School District will ask voters this for a $60 million mill levy override and a $450 million bond for staff compensation, buildand capital Erin Kane and her staff presented their bond and mill levy override recommendations at the Aug. 9 school board meeting and board directors discussed proposed language for the ballot that the proposed bond and mill levy override numbers were calculated to help the district address its pressing needs, keeping in mind the impact to the taxpayer.Theproposed $60 million MLO and $450 million bond would not result in a mill change and would cost a residential property assessed at $500,000 around $255 annually. The formula to calculate each individual residential property cost is $1 per week for $100,000 in assessed value. “We were trying to balance making sure that we asked for a reasonable amount without going crazy because we want to make sure to build that trust with taxpayers,” Kane said. “On the bond, the reason is that the $450 million is a sweet spot for us. It’s a number that won’t increase the number of mills that we’re currently collecting on bond, so it’s a minimal impact to taxpayers.”The $60 million MLO would go entirely to increasing staff wages across the board, including at the district’s charter schools. DCSD released a salary schedule based on the proposed funding passing to show what each individual would receive.Onaverage, teachers would see a 9% raise, non-licensed staff would see an average 8% increase and starting salaries would increase around 10-12%. Kane said this would help make the district competitive in hiring, which has been a huge challenge for all positions. “It’s all throughout our district, every position is not competitive,” Kane said of the current situation. “I don’t want to imply that a $60 million milllevy override is suddenly going to give us Cherry Creek (School District’s) salaries - they’re $1,900 per student ahead of us - but $943 per student will really help overcome that gap, about halfway, and make a huge difference of our ability to be competitive.”

For the bond funding, the district plans to use a majority, $216 million, to build three new neighborhood elementary schools in Sterling Ranch, Crystal Valley and the Canyons, as well as expanding Mesa and Sierra middle schools.

“The utilization of those three schools of the three schools on this bond will be the most over-capacity in ﬁve years,” COO Rich Cosgrove said.Around $139 million would be dedicated to maintaining existing buildings, $54.5 million would go to student programming, $15.5 million is for safety and security upgrades and $25 million for fees, contingency andPassingmanagment.thebond would maintain current property taxes, but property taxes would decrease if the bond fails. On average, residential properties would save $10 per $100,000 in assessed value per year and commercial properties would save $40 per $100,000 in assessed value per year.Many administration staff spoke to what the bond passage would mean for the district and Danny Winsor summed it up by saying it would mean the ability to provide for a variety of paths to success.

“This bond and mill is not just about a dollar amount, it’s about each and every kid and their story that comes to us,” he said. “It has to be about how we intentionally invest in each and every one of our students, their stories, their passions, so they have the opportunity to be something they’ve always dreamt to become.” Should either or both the bond and MLO fail, Kane said the district would be looking at making hard decisions around stafﬁng and deferring maintenance and construction.

Williams had with Wise before his termination at a Feb. 4 special meeting proves Peterson asked Wise to resign, indicating the decision had been made outside of public

The latest filing from attorneys representing the board directors disputes this and claims the tape actually shows that though Peterson was “committed to a new direction,” he only asked Wise to “consider his Additionally,future.”theboard’s attorneys argue that one-on-one conversations are allowed under the Colorado Open Meetings Law, which requires meetings of three or more members to be public and limits elected officials from taking public action outside of the meetings. “While debating the issue may conceivably violate the COML, as that would be something a court may want to be in public, merely learning two or more directors’ position on a public issue could be treated differently than having multiple lengthy debates on an issue, and should be permitted,” the filing reads. “As noted above, learning the positions of multiple members of a local public body helps that person to understand where people are coming from as the member prepares for a public meeting.”Ultimately, the filing states that if the judge finds the directors did violate the open meetings law in their conversations with Wise, any violations would have been rectified when the decision was formalized at the Feb. 4 special meeting. Wise was fired on a 4-3 vote, with board directors Elizabeth Hanson, Susan Meek and David Ray dissenting. “Just because the majority did not change their minds does not mean the meeting did not cure the issue,” the filing said. “A cure occurs when the local public body holds properly noticed meeting, debates the issue at hand and comes to a decision through a proper vote. All three of those things happened.”JudgeHolmes will decide the next step of the lawsuit by either granting Marshall’s request for a permanent ruling on the board’s open meetings law violations or by a threedayDouglastrial. County School District also faces litigation from Wise, who claims the district’s firing was discriminatory.

The outside legal counsel hired to conduct the investigation, Eliza beth Chilcoat, found that “multiple county employees expressed fears about retaliation for participating in this investigation,” according to the“Countyreport. employees expressed concern that one or more commis sioners would intentionally make continued employment with the county unpleasant or untenable for county employees who participated in this investigation,” according to theTealreport.and Laydon initially said they would not release the report but decided to do so after it was leaked to a Denver TV station. The released report redacted the names of county employees mentioned in the results. Investigation results Throughout her investigation, rather than use the standard of “beyond reasonable doubt,” for the allegations, Chilcoat used a “pre ponderance of the evidence” ap proach, which means she sought to determine only if 50.01% evidence pointed to a specific finding. As a result, she often describes her con clusions as “more likely than not” to be true throughout the report. For the question of whether or not Thomas wrote an anonymous letter with complaints about the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office, Chilcoat found that she did not receive “sufficient evidence” to determine if Thomas was or was not the author. She said the letter appeared to have been written by an insider or employee of the sheriff’s office but that it’s not unreasonable to believe Thomas could have used her law enforcement connections to collect theTheinformation.reportsays that Thomas did distribute the letter on her website and at the county’s 2022 Republican Assembly and did so to support her campaign for sheriff.

Laydon and Teal also recently asked their staff to look into whether Thomas leaked the report to a Denver TV station after they had decided to keep it confiden tial. Tuesday they said it “likely occurred” and discussed possible punishments for Thomas including removal from all county boards and sending a letter describing the inci dent to all the boards and commis sions the county is “involved with.”

‘County employees expressed concern that one or more commissioners would intentionally make continued employment with the county unpleasant or untenable for county employees who participated in this investigation.’

“It is unfortunate that Lora Thomas continues to cost the county time and money with her egregious behavior,” accord ing to a statement from Laydon. “We recognize the public expects upstream governance, respect, and professionalism and we endeavor to return to that.”

Spurlock justified the pursuit of allegedly stolen vehicles allowed under his office’s policy, citing a rise in car thefts. Such crimes have been a top priority for the county, with data showing thefts up 20% between 2021 and 2020. “Our deputies need to have as many tools as are available to them and auto thefts are incredibly increasing crimes,” Spurlock said. “If we did not choose to pursue anyone with a stolen car … every car would be subject to be stolen at any time with no retribution whatsoever.” Spurlock said his officers weigh the risks associated with a chase “every day” and said most chases are usually called off. Factors that can make a chase riskier can be the time of day and traffic. Need to notify other agencies In instances of chases that reach into other cities and counties, Poleman, the Littleton police spokesperson, said police try to respect the policies of other agencies. “All of the metro departments and sheriff’s offices have an understanding that if it is coming out of the county or place that it’s originating in, then it is that county’s responsibility,” Poleman said. “Most of the departments are very respectful and let each other know what’s happening.”According to both Littleton and Douglas County policies, officers are supposed to notify police in the jurisdiction they believe a chase will cross into, though the language of the two policies slightly differs. Littleton’s policy calls for this to happen “immediately” while Douglas County’s says it should happen “as soon as possible.”

The 20-year-old driver in the crash, Deanna Bixby, was driving “several miles ahead” of the deputies pursuing the other car, according to Douglas County Sheriff Tony Spurlock. Jayne Davicsin, 25, and Ryan Carter, 27, were killed in theSpurlockcrash. defended his ofﬁce’s chase policy during a news conference on Feb. 7, 2019 — a day after the fatal crash — saying the incident “could have been avoided if the individuals had not done those crimes.”

SEE PURSUITS, P11

Douglas policy wider-reaching A comparison of Littleton’s and Douglas County’s chase policies shows key differences for when officers can and should engage in a pursuit.Littleton’s policy calls for officers to rarely engage in chases unless an officer “has a reasonable belief that the suspect, if allowed to flee, would present a danger to human life or cause serious injury.”

In the case of the chase in 2019 that preceded the fatal crash, Littleton police were never notified as the chase approached city borders. “It’s typically customary if we’re engaged in a chase and we’re leaving our jurisdiction, we’ll notify the jurisdiction we’re entering,” Littleton police Cmdr. Trent Cooper told Colorado Community Media in 2019. “It’s hard to judge. I’m sure Douglas County’s dispatchers had a lot going on. I can tell you our chase policy is very strict, because pursuits are very dangerous. Very few things are worth this kind of risk.” Douglas County officers did notify Littleton police once the vehicle they were chasing entered the city but the chase ended at almost the same time because of the crash, Cocha Heyden, a spokesperson for the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office, said at the Accordingtime.toa records request, Douglas County deputies did notify Littleton police during the 2021 crash that left the driver injured. But the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office said it was “unable to confirm if this was before or after entering the city limits as a pursuit can change at any moment, but they are BY DAVID GILBERT

“I think departments have to have a very clear-cut chase policy, because adrenaline is high,” said Hervey, who also worked for the Boulder Police Department as a victim advocate for two years. “We know if they do no chase in a community, people are just going to run from the cops, so you have to balance it out.”

Stacey Hervey, associate professor of criminal justice and criminology at Metropolitan State University of Denver, said chase policies — while at times necessary — can increase risks to people and places.

“Unless a greater hazard would result, a pursuit should not be undertaken if the subject(s) can be identified with enough certainty that they can be apprehended at a later time,” the department’s policy reads. Douglas County’s pursuit policy is wider-reaching, allowing for pursuits of potentially non-violent offenders. In addition to clearing officers to chase vehicles whose “subject or subjects pose a substantial threat of death or serious bodily injury to another person,” the policy also allows for chases of dangerous drivers — such as those who may be under the influence of a substance — as well as for cars believed to be stolen.Douglas County deputies can also chase if the alleged suspect is believed to have committed a felony, according to the policy.

The most recent chase by Littleton police occurred in May when a suspect of a stolen car struck a Littleton officer before driving away. The chase led to one officer losing control of his vehicle and crashing into a concrete wall on West Main Street.According to department spokesperson Sheera Poleman, the only reason Littleton police pursued in that instance was because of the unknown status of the officer who was struck. Once the officer who was hit by the suspect was determined to be in a stable condition, officers called off the “Propertychase.is not as important as a human life, and we try to be cognizant of that,” Poleman said, adding that chases rarely occur from Littleton police because of the “safety of our officers and the civilians around us.”Littleton Police Chief Doug Stephens said the difference in policies “goes back to an overall philosophical view of pursuits and if it is worth the risk since it will likely end in a crash.” For Stephens, anything short of a “violent felony” is “not worth the risk to the general public.”

There is a confirmed fatality in the Aug. 9 small, single-engine plane crash near the FedEx build ing located at 14250 Grasslands Drive in unincorporated Douglas County, South Metro Fire Rescue said via Twitter. The plane, a Cessna 182, had departed from runway 10 at Centen nial Airport, located at 7565 S.

The coroner’s office will handle victim identification. Ono said South Metro Fire Rescue received a 911 call shortly after 12:50 p.m. from someone who said they had heard a noise and report ed a plane that was down in a field with heavy damage. She said South Metro Fire Rescue was dispatched at about 12:52 p.m. As of 10:40 a.m. Aug. 10, no fire had occurred due to the crash, but there was a small fuel spill from the plane’s wing, Ono said. The cause of the fuel spill will be investigated to determine if the spill happened before the crash or due to the crash, sheThesaid.National Transportation Safety Board, an independent U.S. government investigative agency, said via Twitter that it is investi gating the crash and identified the plane as a Cessna 182Q. An initial accident report from the Federal Aviation Administra tion states the “aircraft crashed under unknown circumstances after departure.” It lists the regis tration number of the flight craft as N727PC, which according to Flight Aware, is a 1979 plane owned by PB&J Holding LLC, based in Franktown.Severalaircraft incidents in the Centennial Airport area have made local headlines in recent years.

Spurlock said in some instances it can often be that deputies don’t have time to alert jurisdictions before they“Oftencross.it happens on the county line … where we’re in their jurisdic tion before we let them know,” he said.Spurlock said blame for accidents that can result in damages and injuries should be placed on the suspects, not ofﬁcers involved in a chase.“Itis their responsibility and it is their fault that they’re committing a crime and don’t drive appropriately and cause a crash,” Spurlock said. For Hervey, the MSU professor, the threshold for when a chase should be initiated should be high. “The person should be a risk, not just in a stolen vehicle,” she said.

LOCAL As journalists, we often will do an interview on a topic that may raise interest in another based on a small side comment or release of accompanying information. For me recently, I was working on our annual health section and doing some interviews for a story on heart health. Besides learning how unhealthy Americans are when it comes to the heart, the topic of sleep came up with doctors and research several times. This led me down a rabbit hole that turned into to some eyebrow-raising data. First off — We as Americans are clearly not sleeping enough. Everyone talks about how on edge we are, how stressed out we are. Well, it might not take a genius to see that sleep could be a major contributing factor. According to sleep experts across the board, and the Centers for Disease Control, adults need at least seven hours of sleep per night to achieve the best health andHowever,well-being.data shows that 1 in 3 adults don’t get enough sleep, which accounts for more than a third of American adults who are operating day-to-day lives, or adulting as some might say, without enough rest. In Colorado, we are not exactly leading by example. According to a recent study, Coloradans ranked as the nation’s 23rd unhealthiest sleepers. The data came from countingsheep. net, which analyzed county health rankings nationwide. For those wondering, Vermont is the unhealthiest state in terms of sleep. Some of the healthiest in terms of getting enough rest are New York, Pennsylvania, Michigan and Ohio. Besides sleep impacting our moods and ability to function, several studies and industries are raising the red flags for how it is starting to cause major health conditions. Each year, the American Heart Association releases a list of components that go directly to the heart of achieving optimal heart health. In 2022, the association added sleep to that list because Americans are not getting enough sleep, therefore causing chronic health conditions. Overall, only 7% of Americans can say they have optimal heart health. That’s a pretty dismal figure. To some degree, it’s a little frightening. Looking further, sleep can be a contributing factor in problems with obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke and frequent mental distress. Making the problem worse, sleep issues are not just an issue for adults anymore. More and more data shows that teenagers and youth are struggling to get the recommended sleep hours. As the unhealthy sleep habits only increase, one might ask — Why? How did we get here? Doctors, studies and specialists all have similar messaging — We as Americans have become way too busy. An NPR story looking at the issue pointed to our culture of stress and the need for constant connection. Working Americans are getting less sleep as they try to manage a workday, handle raising children and, sometimes, find some alone time to decompress, which then cuts into the hours where we should be laying our head down to rest.

Thelma Grimes is the south metro editor for Colorado Community Media.

A s the passengers boarded the flight, the scene was typical of any flights I have taken in the past several years. As people stood in line, slowly walking onto the jetway, heads were down as people were focusing their attention on their phones.Thiscaught my attention only because it wasn’t just a few, it was almost everyone. It may seem natural these days because that is how we consume communicate,information,orentertain ourselves. It’s like parking your white car and seeing that most of the cars in the lot that day are white. Or stopping into your local pub and everyone is drinking the same beer. For my friends at Bart & Yeti’s up in Vail, Colorado, they know this all too well, they refer to Budweiser as the house red, and you can see just how many people are drinking the house red as you walk in. The flight I was boarding was a fourand-a-half-hour flight. We all boarded, and I was scanning the plane seeing almost everyone with their faces buried in their phone. Again, no issue with this as the productivity is awesome allowing us to connect with family, friends, coworkers andTherecustomers.wasaperiod of time where the internet connection is lost. It’s not until we are about 10-15 minutes in the air when we can usually connect to the Wi-Fi. What happened next could be upsetting to some of you, so please continue reading with caution.Manyof the travelers were trying to connect a phone or a laptop to the Wi-Fi. Heads started to pop up as passengers craned their neck to look around to see if others were also having difficulties connecting. And I was right there with them, looking around for the flight attendant, hoping someone could save the day. Passengers were pressing the call button in a panic. I mean can you imagine the horror, being trapped on a four-and-a-half-hour flight with no access to the outside world? What will happen? What will we do? Yikes. With the exception of a couple passengers who continued to try and get the flight attendants to try and reset the system — one passenger almost begging as she “had a lot of work to do” — everyone else did something else, they said “No Wi-Fi, no problem.” I heard more conversations taking place than I had in a long time. I saw people reading on an e-reader or they had an actual book. One gentleman sitting near me took out a notebook and was capturing his thoughts and I can see him creating a to-do list. Couples held hands or leaned into each other in conversation. Business travelers were connecting and sharing their stories Wi-Fi, no problem P

In talking to one doctor about the solution — he was clear — We have to start making sleep a priority. WE have to start realizing just how much pressure we put on ourselves. We have realize we might look at the world a lot better and feel better if we start getting the rest we need. For those reading this — Here’s to a focus on getting a better night’s sleep tonight.

I t is difficult enough to lose a loved one. No one wants to think about finances or taxes at the time a family member passes away. However, it is important to seek the right advice when settling anTheestate.IRS historically requires the final tax return to be filed within nine months of passing. Sometimes the estate is not even settled by then, much less all the planning that goes along with it. One of the often-overlooked opportunities is for the surviving spouse to claim any unused estate exemption from the deceased. Many people have become complacent about claiming a deceased spouse’s estate exemption due to the recent high limits, currently at $12,060,000. However, once the current tax law sunsets at the end of 2025, those exemption limits will fall back to 2017 rates plus inflation or roughly $6 million. Therefore, it is always a good idea to go ahead and file the IRS Form 706 to elect portability, or the ability to transfer any unused exemption to the surviving spouse. Thanks to a new rule recently passed, Revenue Procedure 2022-32, the time to file a Form 706 is now extended to five years after death. This could be extremely important in the case of a spouse wanting to utilize the deceased partner’s full estate tax exemption. No one likes to pay taxes and the default is to pass the buck to the surviving spouse and not worry about claiming an exemption on the first death. But then the kids or remaining heirs will need to deal with any estate taxes upon the second death. The estate exemption could be considerably smaller by then and the value of the estate could continue to grow, causing a tax liability that could have been avoided.Nowyou can go back five years on anyone who passed away and file the IRS Form 706 to elect spousal portability. This means whatever my spouse’s exemption would have been gets carried over to me and added to mine. This gives my kids much more flexibility to use both of our exemptions to the maximum.

The new Revenue Procedure 2022-32 extends the time to make the election to five years after the first spouse’s date of death. This rule is retroactive in that it allows estates of first spouses who passed away less than five years ago to make the portability election if a Form 706 has not already been filed. This is a significant estate planning tool that can be used to pass on more assets to the surviving spouse and heirs. This allows more gifting opportunities from the surviving spouse and provides a much larger exemption when it comes time to settle the second estate.

T hey’re going back to school, too — but this time, they’ll be on the other side of the desk. First-year teachers and their colleagues across the Denver metro area are kicking off the 2022-23 school year this month. For the past two and a half years, teachers have been on the front lines as classrooms went virtual and returned with masks. They have fought for more recognition and better pay.Some fi rst-year teachers have experienced some of these challenges as substitutes or student teachers, but it hasn’t deterred them from pursuing the“Youprofession.hearall these negative things that people on the outside say about teaching, but being on the inside … seeing all the students grow and making those connections is worth it,” said Laura Hirn of Jefferson County’s Fairmount Elementary.Whilethe“hows” differ for each fi rst-year teacher, the “whys” are virtually the same: “I want to be the teacher I never had,” said Jennah Lacy of Prairie View High School in Adams County. Hirn felt similarly, remarking how “everyone remembers a teacher who made a positive impact” on their lives. She said she wanted to be that teacher forPeterothers.Ferrante, of Overland Trail Middle School in Adams County, described how he pursued other careers before becoming a teacher. In these other jobs, he always “really enjoyed helping others fi nd what they’re passionate about.” So, Ferrante became a teacher to do exactly that, but full-time.Likewise, Chelsea Vandurme of Carlson Elementary School in Idaho Springs worked in the mortgage industry, as a coach, and —most recently — as a stay-at-home mom. She also served as a substitute for the nearby elementary schools before getting her certifi cate to teach preschool this May. “I love working with kids,” she said. “I love … being a part of the community and being the foundation of the school.”

As a ﬁrst-year teacher, Lacy recognized there will be challenges to navigate this year and beyond. But, in those times, she plans to reﬂect on why she’s there. “We’re preparing the next generation … (and) it takes a certain kind of person to do that,” she said. “It takes a lot of hard work and patience. But it’s important to have that passion to want to be here. Because the kids can feel that.”

Ferrante, who teaches eighthgrade language and literature at Brighton’s Overland Trail Middle School, was a teacher-resident at the school last year. He was participated in the Denver-based Public Education & Business Coalition to translate his experience in journalism into teaching language and literature.WhileFerrante recognized that not every student will love reading and writing like he does, he wanted to emphasize analytical skills and learning how to inform oneself and argue a position.

As for why he opted for middle school, Ferrante said it’s a special time when teachers can bolster students’ confidence and skills before they go to high school. “Middle school is a special time,” he said. “There’s so much positive change you can Coincidentally,have.”Lacy felt the same way about high school. She felt like the age group was a fun one to teach, saying she wanted to prepare them for life after high school.

Peter Ferrante joins Brighton’s Overland Trail Middle School as an eighth-grade language and literature teacher. Ferrante was a teacher resident at Overland Trail last spring, and decided to return because of the faculty’s teamwork-ﬁrst culture and the student community.

The Aurora resident decided to return to Overland Trail because of the camaraderie among the staff and the great student population, saying, “It made me sure I wanted to stay here.”

Lacy teaches integrated mathematics at Prairie View High School, which is near Commerce City. Like Ferrante, she understood not every student will enjoy math. But, she wanted to instill problemsolving skills and a passion for learning, so her students always remember the lessons behind the math.Lacy, who’s from Parker but now lives in Denver’s Central Park neighborhood, went through the CU Teach program through the University of Colorado-Boulder. She majored in math with a minor in education. While traveling in Florida, she did a Zoom interview with Prairie View. Even through the computer screen, Lacy felt welcomed and that the school was “a great community to be a part of.”

Muttering about cleaning dust off that meat and cooking it ... The table is set and Cooky hollers “Come and git it before I throw it out!” Curly (Dave Lloyd) and Stub (Donna Smith) appear and Curly throws a basin of water out the door, eliciting a yelp from Tex (Pam Clifton) who just caught a face full of soapy water. “Fried cow for supper again” Stub complains, as cowhand Granny (Jeff Long) stomps in and heads for the table. All grumble about the food, overdue pay, working conditions, weather, the boss — and more ... and we’re 10 minutes into “Summer Comes to the Diamond O” by Montana playwright Robert V.

Summer Scream returns to Lakeside I’d be hard pressed to think of a better venue in the entire state of Colorado to spend a summer evening than Lakeside Amusement Park.

Clarke’s Concert of the Week — Kendrick Lamar at Ball Arena Kendrick Lamar is one of those artists we just don’t get enough of. It took ﬁve years between his PulitzerPrize winning album, “DAMN.” and his long-awaited return back in May with “Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers,” and that’s simply too long. But now that he’s back, he’s provided a work deep and rich enough to spend months parsing through. After such a long absence, Lamar is taking his stellar catalogue on the road with The Big Steppers Tour, which is stopping at Ball Arena, 1000 Chopper Circle in Denver, at 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Aug. 23. He’ll be joined by Baby Keem and Tanna Leone. I saw Lamar on his last tour and man alive, does he deliver. Get tickets at www.ticketmaster. com.

“I always look at the makeup of the classes and discussion groups and just marvel at the fact that it’s just a true melting pot,” said Bate. “Early on we said, you know, we’re just going to throw the doors open and everyone is welcome.”

In celebration of IMPACT’s anniversary, Bate and his fellow staff members were honored with an Excellence in Leadership Award for the development and provision of the program. The award was granted in May by Thought of the Day, an online inspiration team founded by Anne Heathman, a LoveINC volunteer.Heathman was inspired to create the award when she was asked by the LoveINC staff to nominate fellow volunteers for recognition of their commitment to the IMPACT program. Although she saw a beautiful group of volunteers to choose from, Heathman said she wanted to recognize more than just her peers. “I had to be a renegade nominator,” Heathman said. In addition to obediently nominating some volunteers, Heathman sneakily worked with the Thought of the Day team to create a separate award to honor LoveINC’s staff members for dedicating their careers to IMPACT. “If [LoveINC’s staff members] were in corporate America…they would earn two to three times what they earn here,” Heathman said. “And they choose to serve the Lord in this capacity, and they work many hours beyond what you would expect them to. And the results are staggering.”Heathman knows IMPACT on a personal level, as she has been a participant of the program as well as a volunteer. After surviving a ﬁre at her apartment building in 2018, Heathman signed up for Afﬁrming Potential, an IMPACT course about “They evaluate your skills and they evaluate your interests, and then they take the next step, and they make you dream of what you would like to do,” Heathman said about the class. “And so, that’s where Thought of the Day came [from].”Whatstarted as a creative way to inspire her women’s group at Cherry Hills Community Church with photos and Bible verses blossomed into an online email campaign that now lands in 70,000 inboxes per day, according to Heathman. “I think maybe the biggest compliment I can think of for LoveINC is not only did they help individuals, but they launched another ministry,” she said, beginning to choke up with emotion. “So as you can imagine, my admiration for LoveINC is huge.”Heathman and Santana both admire LoveINC for the ways it changed their lives. Santana hopes for others in the Littleton community to know that they’re not alone. “It’s just so beautiful how life can be changed. Because I’ve been there, I know how it feels to feel alone,” she said. “But these people love and they want you to succeed. And it’s just amazing how much a little team of people loves so many people.”

LoveINC Littleton is a local afﬁliate of a national organization that “mobilizes local churches to offer a holistic approach to caring for people in all areas of life,” according to LoveINC’s website. In addition to the IMPACT program, LoveINC Littleton’s 44 partner churches work together to provide physical resources such as diapers, clothing, furniture and transportation to community members across Jefferson, Arapahoe and Douglas counties, said Kathryn Roy, executive director of LoveINC Littleton. The partner churches span a wide range of Christian denominations, Roy“It’ssaid.all about sharing Christ’s love,” Roy said. “We’re not ignoring the things we disagree on, we’re just not focusing on that. There are so

information with their children, and informal discussions may take place between students. You may wish to have a family discussion to talk briefly about loss of life and to acknowledge any feelings that may surface. Knowing what to say to your child is often difficult. When no other words come to mind, a hug and acknowledging that this is a difficult time for everyone may provide comfort. If you need additional guidance in discussing this situation with your child, please see the attached suggestions from our DCSD Crisis Team. Feelings can be especially overwhelming at a time like this. There is no right way to express the sadness, grief and confusion that students will feel when they encounter a tragedy. For example, students may react by needing more sleep, or being more emotional. On the other hand, a student may not react outwardly at all. Students can be particularly vulnerable if this event reminds them about another loss or sadness in their own lives. Expect that resolving the feelings related to this tragedy may take your child some time. It is normal for a child to bring up the tragedy after it has happened and often when least expected. Our school staff is always available to support students as needed. Please let me know if you need additional resources or support. — Jenna Templeton, ED.D., Principal at Castle View High School”

“For example, if someone calls and says, ‘I need help with diapers,’ that is a tangible ministry we do serve. However, we do like to go a little deeper,” said Ann Donelson, director of connections ministries at LoveINC Littleton. “Why is that need presenting? What is the cause ofThethat?”Connection Center volunteers guide community members to resources provided by LoveINC’s partner churches. They also often offer vouchers for callers to shop for free at LoveINC’s resale store, Renewed Treasures, which is celebrating its 10th anniversary this year. Once the Connection Center team builds trust with a community member and feels they could be ready for the program, they introduce them to IMPACT, Donelson said. IMPACT offers classes focused on ﬁnancial, spiritual, mental, emotional and relational wellbeing, said Terry Bate, director of relational ministry at LoveINC Littleton. These courses are offered on a trimester schedule from September through June, Bate said. The entire program is free and open to anyone, regardless of church afﬁliation or lack thereof.
