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 conﬁ rm 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 conﬁ rms 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 supportersLaydonWednesday.andTeal asked for an investigation into Thomas in April after they said she went against their direction and asked their legal counsel for information about supporters of a controversial water proposal from the San Luis Valley.

Parker is one step closer to developing five parcels in its downtown after the town council approved a sale agreement of the land on Aug. 15.The town council will still need to approve the development agreement for the land from the buyer, Confluence Companies, according to the plan. The first reading of the sale agreement was approved in the consent agenda during the council meeting and therefore was not discussed. The final approval is scheduled for Sept. 6, when there will be a public hearing. Within about three weeks after the sale agreement is approved in its second reading, Confluence will be required to provide the terms of the development agreement to the town. The agreement will then be negotiated between the two parties.

At least five crashes have occurred in the City of Littleton since 2019 after police pursuits by Douglas County deputies who were following suspects, some of whom were believed to be in stolen vehicles, records requests and prior reportingTheshow.wrecks highlight stark differences between chase policies for the Littleton Police Department and the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office, with Douglas County granting officers more reasons to engage in a pursuit.Themost recent case was July 29, when an allegedly stolen car pursued by Douglas County deputies ran a red light and caused a crash at the intersection of Santa Fe Drive and Bowles Avenue around 11:43 p.m.Other incidents include a crash in early December 2021 when Douglas County deputies pursued an allegedly stolen truck from unincorporated Douglas County before driving into the back of the vehicle and causing it to crash on Santa Fe Drive in Littleton.Thedriver, who ran onto the road and was hit by an officer driving to the scene, suffered injuries and was taken to a hospital. A pursuit in early February 2019 preceded a fatal crash involving a driver of a stolen car who was fleeing Douglas County deputies. That speeding driver hit another vehicle at the intersection of Santa Fe Drive and Mineral Avenue in a crash that left two people dead. The crash came as Douglas County deputies chased a different car in the incident, also believed to have been stolen, along Highway 85 — which is known as Santa Fe Drive farther north. The 20-year-old driver in the crash, Deanna Bixby, was driving “several miles ahead” of the deputies pursuing the other car,

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 fi rst 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 transmission.“Evenwith school 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.” State Epidemiologist 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.

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 reevaluate 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 told the board 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.” proposed funding passing to show what each individual would receive. On average, 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.”Forthebond 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 Request likely coming for school bond, MLO

BY MCKENNA HARFORD MHARFORD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM Castle Rock community members are coming together to support the families of four teens involved in a head-on car wreck around midnight Aug. 5. A man in a Toyota Forerunner crossed into oncoming traffic and struck a Honda pick-up truck head-on while heading north on an Interstate-25 frontage road near mile marker 179. The driver of the Toyota, identified as Ricky AvalosTrujillo, 25, sustained minimal injuries and was arrested at the scene for vehicular homicide. Authorities suspect Avalos-Trujillo was driving while under the influence. Two of the 17-year-old passengers in the Honda, Colton Bellamy and Audrey Todd, died in the accident. The unidentified Honda driver and another passenger, Maddy Tobler, 17, were both taken to area hospitals for moderate to severe injuries. Bellamy and Todd were upcoming seniors at Castle View High School. Castle View Principal Jeena Templeton sent an email to the school community sharing counseling resources for students and addressing the loss of the two seniors, according to

For Tobler’s medical expenses and recovery, over $48,000 has been raised.Additionally, the Dads of Castle Rock hosted a pancake breakfast on Aug. 14 at Castle View High School, with all of the proceeds going to the affected families. The group is matching up to $10,000 in donations.

As parents, you are the very best support system in meeting your child’s needs. You can provide the best explanation that fits with your values and beliefs, knowing that other parents may share this 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.

Castle Rock responds to teen victims of car wreck

KDVR.“Dear Castle View High Family: I am deeply saddened to share that Colton Bellamy and Audrey Todd, twelfth-graders at our school, recently died. This is a tragic loss and our hearts go out to Colton and Audrey’s families and friends. The Castle View High School and Douglas County School District communities are saddened by these losses. Please keep Colton and Audrey’s families in your thoughts. The DCSD Crisis Team will be available to connect with students or staff who may need extra support. The team will be at Castle View High School on Monday, Aug. 8 and Tuesday, Aug. 9 during normal school hours. In light of these sad circumstances, we will be adjusting our schedules this week. Please look for a follow up communication from us with those details later this weekend. During this period of sadness, you may notice a variety of reactions from your child. You may ﬁnd your child unusually talkative or quiet. Your child may ask a lot of questions, be anxious, or may want to be near you more than usual. You may also notice no reaction from your child. Teens can experience a wide range of feelings and behaviors that are normal when dealing with this kind of tragedy. Any of these may be signs of the need for a little extra support.

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 and managment.Passingthe bond 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.”

FROM PAGE 4

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 oneon-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.

Each year, RidgeGate teams up with the South Suburban Parks and Recreation District to provide free, guided nature hikes. These hikes are led by professional naturalists from the district, and offer insight and education into the natural ecosystems within the open space at RidgeGate. Registration is required and available at RidgeGate.com

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. “I’m always really hesitant to paint a catastrophic world will fall apart scenario,” Kane said. “If this doesn’t pass, we’re exactly where we’ve been.

… We will be able to continue to award steps to staff, we would have to adjust increases to the entire schedule based on available revenue.” Kane also presented proposed ballot language to the board, which it accepted, but has not ofﬁcially approved. The board will vote on the ballot language at the Aug. 23 meeting and is soliciting feedback until then.

attorney have argued a recording of a conversation Peterson and 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 meetings.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 future.”Additionally, the board’s attorneys argue that one-on-one conversations 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.” Judge Holmes 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 three-day trial.

Douglas County School District also faces litigation from Wise, who claims the district’s ﬁring was discriminatory. Board President Mike Peterson. PHOTO

Attempts by Colorado Community Media to contact DougCo’s Future by phone and email have gone unanswered.

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 ourAccordingstudents.”to the release, DougCo’s Future was formed on July 11 and has received around 130 donations through the fundraising platform ActBlue. The recall 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.

The outside legal counsel hired to conduct the investiga tion, Elizabeth Chilcoat, found that “multiple county em ployees expressed fears about retaliation for participating in this investigation,” according to the “Countyreport.employees expressed concern that one or more com missioners would intentionally make continued employment with the county unpleasant or untenable for county employ ees who participated in this investigation,” according to the report.Tealand 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 “preponderance of the evi dence” approach, 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.Forthe question of whether or not Thomas wrote an anony mous letter with complaints about the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office, Chilcoat found that she did not receive “suf ficient evidence” to determine if Thomas was or was not the author.Shesaid the letter appeared to have been written by an insider or employee of the sheriff’s of fice but that it’s not unreason able to believe Thomas could have used her law enforcement connections to collect the infor mation.Thereport says 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.“Ifind it more likely than not that Commissioner Thomas did not engage in conduct that would give rise to legal liabil ity,” according to the report. Chilcoat also determined that Thomas’ distribution of the letter didn’t have a negative impact on county employees or first“Thereresponders.isnoevidence that morale among employees of the sheriff’s office was actu ally harmed, that the reputa tion of the sheriff’s office was actually undercut or that any county employee resigned from employment,” according to the report.Thereport also states that Thomas didn’t create a hostile work environment for county employees and that the major ity of complaints about her were regarding “Thomas’ treat ment of elected officials and independent contractors.” The report also found that during conversations about the Renewable Water Resources proposal, Thomas did email a county legal representative with a request going against the full board’s direction. 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 confidential. Tuesday they said it “likely occurred” and discussed possible punish ments for Thomas including removal from all county boards and sending a letter describing the incident to all the boards and commissions the county is “involved with.” “It is unfortunate that Lora Thomas continues to cost the county time and money with her egregious behavior,” ac cording to a statement from Laydon. “We recognize the public expects upstream gov ernance, respect, and profes sionalism and we endeavor to return to that.”

“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.”

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.” 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.”

August 18, 202210 Parker Chronicle according to Douglas County Sheriff Tony Spurlock. Jayne Davicsin, 25, and Ryan Carter, 27, were killed in the Spurlockcrash.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.”

“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.

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.

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 time. According to a 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 always advised at some point.”TheDouglas County Sheriff’s Office said it could not say whether officers notified Littleton police during the latest incident July 29, citing an active investigation. Stephens said he’s been satisfied with Douglas County’s communication for chases that cross into Littleton, though he said chases from Douglas County officers have been more frequent in recent years due to the county’s wider-reaching policy.Spurlock said in some instances it can often be that deputies don’t have time to alert jurisdictions before they cross. “Often it happens on the county line … where we’re in their jurisdiction before we let them know,” heSpurlocksaid. 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.

FROM PAGE 1 DIFFERENCES

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.

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’sAccordinghappening.”toboth 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.”

Douglas County Sheri Tony Spurlock defends his department’s chase policy during a press conference Feb. 7, 2019. Spurlock’s comments came a day after a suspect in a stolen car killed two people in a crash in Littleton after being followed by Douglas County police.

Douglas County deputies can also chase if the alleged suspect is believed to have committed a felony, according to the policy.

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.”

The plane, a Cessna 182, had departed from runway 10 at Centennial Airport, located at 7565 S. Peoria St, at about 12:50 p.m. and was in the air for just moments before it crashed, said Lauren Ono, a public informa tion officer for South Metro Fire Rescue.Theplane crashed in an open field. Besides the pilot, there were no other occupants on board and there were no other injuries reported, according to South Metro Fire Rescue.

The National Transportation Safety Board, an independent U.S. government investigative agency, said via Twitterthat it is investigating the crash and identified the plane as a Cessna 182Q.Aninitial accident report from the Federal Aviation Administra tion states the “aircraft crashed under unknown circumstances after departure.” It lists the registration number of the flight craft as N727PC, which accord ing to Flight Aware, is a 1979 plane owned by PB&J Holding LLC, based in Franktown. Several aircraft incidents in the Centennial Airport area have made local headlines in recent years.

Jury to hear Terrell Jones case early next year

Delays continue to define the process to bring to trial Terrell Jones, who is accused of fatally shooting a Centennial man in a neighborhood in 2009 and was initially supposed to see trial nearly a year ago. In spring 2021, the Arapahoe County District Court initially scheduled the trial to begin in October 2021 and expected that it could last more than threeTheweeks.trialhas long been delayed and as of mid-August was scheduled for January 2023. In recent hearings, attorneys discussed ongoing disagreements about potential “experts” who may speak in the case and talked about whether years-old crimes in Denver could affect the scope of the trial. Case revolved around several defendants Andrew Graham, a University of Colorado graduate who had plans for grad school, was found shot to death about 5:30 a.m. on Nov. 6, 2009, in the front yard of a home in the Willow Creek neighborhood of Centennial near County Line Road and Yosemite Street.Afew hours before Graham, 23, was found — just before midnight — video surveillance captured Graham riding an RTD light rail train and exiting at the station near Park Meadows mall in Lone Tree. Graham had been making living arrangements in Boulder that day and would often walk from the station to his parents’ house in nearby Willow Creek a couple miles away, his mother told Colorado Community Media at the time. Jones was arrested in March 2020, KCNC-CBS4 reported. Jones was 16 years old at the time of the shooting. A 2016 an Arapahoe County grand jury indicted Clarissa Jae Lockhart, Allen Deshawn Ford, Kendall Adam Austin and Joseph Martin — also teenagers at the time of the shooting. The four were arrested in January 2017 in connection with Graham’s death. Grand juries are sometimes used to decide whether authorities have enough evidence to charge a suspect. The codefendants described a plot to rob Graham, whom they saw as “a white male who might have money,” according to the affidavit for Jones’ arrest. Jones and three other codefendants are African-American. One codefendant, Joseph Martin, was listed as American Indian on the state Department of Corrections website. Ford, Lockhart and Austin had been linked to a string of race-motivated robberies and assaults in downtown Denver in 2009, according to the affidavit and court proceedings in the Graham case. Suspects in that rash of crimes told police they targeted white males because they assumed they had money and wouldn’t fight back or present a Lockhartthreat.and Austin pleaded guilty to attempted robbery in September 2009 incidents, and Ford pleaded guilty to a bias-motivated crime involving “bodily injury” and pleaded guilty to assault in August 2009 incidents, according to online court records. Separately, in the case of Graham’s death, Jones was charged with firstdegree murder after deliberation and first-degree felony murder, according to court records. A count of first-degree felony murder can be charged against anyone in a group that is allegedly involved in a serious crime in which a death occurs. The charge applies even if a particular member of the group is not believed to have directly caused the death.

“We need to be a little more speciﬁc than ‘There were more police downtown, (so) they all came down south,’” Zuckerman said. She argued at the time the defense would need more time during the trial and would need to show that “none of those issues are relevant to Mr. Jones.”

After delays, alleged shooter in 2009 Centennial homicide to see trial

Besides alleged gunman Terrell O’Neil Jones, who was arrested in March 2020, four other suspects were identiﬁed in the 2009 Centennial slaying of Andrew Graham. They allegedly acted as a group in attempting to rob Graham.

Denver crimes still a topic Whitfield also said the court received filings from the Denver Police Department, but it wasn’t clear from the hearing what those filings entailed. In a court hearing for Jones on March 29, Wilcox said there was information about four cases that his office requested from the Denver District Attorney’s Office. His office has received those records, he said. It appeared from the March 29 hearing that those cases could relate to the downtown Denver-area crimes.

Judge Whitﬁeld signaled the trial may not focus much on the Denver crimes, saying: “This will not be a case about some other jurisdiction.”

“What this case will not turn into is someone else’s trial,” Whitﬁeld said. “To the extent it involves codefendants … either as witnesses or in some other way, so be it, (but) … we are not going to expand the trial beyond what was already (expected).”

The defense argued that scheduling and availability issues have affected their work to prepare with expert witnesses, asking the court to allow the defense to proceed with those witnesses.What each expert witness could testify about wasn’t clear from the hearing, but one of the witnesses — separate from the two the prosecutor asked to remove — could speak about data from cellphones related to the case, for example. When defense attorneys plan to call an expert witness in a case, they disclose information such as what the witness will talk about, what gives them expertise on the subject and what material they reviewed to form their opinion, according to Jolie Masterson, a defense attorney for Jones. The disconnect between the defense and prosecution at the hearing centered on how much information about the defense’s preparation with potential expert witnesses needed to beJudgeshared.Joseph Whitﬁeld did not rule on whether to strike certain potential witnesses during the Aug. 9 hearing, setting the issue to be decided later.

Evan Marcia Zuckerman, a defense attorney for Jones, argued the subject of Denver incidents could add to the length of Jones’ trial. “To the extent that there was a reason, there was a reason that these Denver cases reached the kind of prominence that they did that brought the FBI in, that apparently made the Denver downtown so unbearable (for suspects due to the police presence) that they had to come out to Park Meadows, which is very essential to the prosecution’s theory of liability,” Zuckerman said during the March 29 hearing. She added: “It can’t be minimized to just a sentence.”

An expert witness is “a witness with special expertise in an area who is brought in by one side in a trial to explain something technical, such as medical treatment or ballistics,” according to the 18th Judicial District Attorney’s Ofﬁce website.

The Aug. 9 discussions did not suggest that Jones was involved in the 2009 Denver crimes. Long road to case Despite the years it took to arrest Jones, his arrest afﬁdavit did not mention any physical evidence that points to any of the defendants. In court in October 2020, Zuckerman hammered on what she argued are inconsistencies in the accounts of the fourJonescodefendants.—whoapparently ﬁrst spoke to authorities in 2010 — has acknowledged to investigators that he knew the codefendants but has denied involvement in Graham’s death. He admitted to having a gun around the “2009 time frame,” according to the January 2017 indictment that led to the arrest of the other defendants. He indicated before a grand jury that Ford stole that gun from him at a party, the indictment says. Wilcox argued in October 2020 that “while the court heard voluminous statements about stories that changed,” Jones still may be found guilty by a jury. The codefendants “aren’t just witnesses that came forward to make a statement,” Wilcox said. They are people who “put themselves as being involved in a crime.”

The 18th Judicial District includes Arapahoe, Douglas, Elbert and Lincoln counties.AtanAug. 9 court hearing, Chris Wilcox, the prosecutor and a chief deputy 18th Judicial District attorney, asked the court to strike two expert witnesses, arguing they failed to comply with the requirements for information they need to disclose.

OTHER DEFENDANTS’ OUTCOMES

Planning for ‘experts’ Jones’ defense attorneys expect to make arguments based on what could be several expert witnesses in the case.

Time for sleep

VOICES

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. 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.

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.

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.

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.

Estate planning for the surviving spouse

All with the exception of the one passenger who felt compelled to try and plead with the flight attendants hoping they could pull off a miracle in the final 30 minutes. It was not to be. However, there was a miracle that did occur, people connected, maybe even reconnected with priorities and family as we all lived through a four-and-a-half-hour flight without access to the outside world, and we survived. Many of us, as we stood up waiting to deplane, knowingly acknowledged each other with a smile, recognizing that it wasn’t just OK, it was actually better than OK as we traded our Wi-Fi connections for realHowconnections.aboutyou, could use a fourand-a-half-hour break from connecting with the outside world, or maybe even technology?

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.

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.” Learning the basics Being a coach is all about building on a student’s preexisting skillset, but being a preschool teacher is all about

Lauramunity.Hirn, a music teacher at Je erson County’s Fairmount Elementary, hopes to instill her students with a love of singing and music. Hirn will be teaching 450-500 students total, with class rotating through her music room every three weeks. instilling the very basics, VandurmeAlongexplained.withcolors, shapes, numbers and letters, her job is also helping them learn socialemotional skills, build confi dence, and become more independent.Carlson Elementary kicked off the fi rst day of class on Aug. 22, and Vandurme expressed beforehand how excited she was. The Georgetown resident said substitute-teaching at Carlson gave her a chance to get to know the students and the community fi rst. So, once she received her early childhood teaching certificate from Red Rocks Community College, teaching at Carlson was the logical choice. Because preschool can often be intimidating or challenging for students, Vandurme said she wants to make the experience a positive one for younger children.“Iwant them to want to come to school,” she continued. Meanwhile, at Fairmount Elementary between Golden and Arvada, Hirn and her colleagues started classes Aug. 16. Hirn will be teaching music to 450-500 students across a threeweekHirn,rotation.wholives in Arvada, was a student-teacher at a nearby elementary school, and loved the area and the district. So, in looking for jobs, she felt like Fairmount Elementary would be ideal because of its sense of community and culture. “I didn’t even know the music room was this big and awesome,” she continued. Hirn majored in music education at Colorado State University, and could have taught any grade level in K-12. She opted for elementary school because she loved the atmosphere. “Music just spirals,” she said, describing how what students learn in elementary school become fundamental for later musical education. Music is the universal language, Hirn said, and she’s seen the kind of connections students can make with it. She hoped to share her passion for performing, saying she hoped to inspire at least one student to pursue a career in choir or music the way she has. Helping build a bright future On Aug. 11, both Lacy and Ferrante had their fi rst full day of classes.Ferrante, who teaches eighthgrade language and literature at Brighton’s Overland Trail Middle School, was a teacherresident 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. 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.”Asfor 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 have.”Coincidentally, 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. 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.”

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 com-

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.”

Chelsea Vandurme is a ﬁrst-year preschool teacher at Carlson Elementary in Idaho Springs. Vandurme served as a substitute teacher and coach at Carlson Elementary and around Clear Creek County, which she said proved good experience for gettting to know the students, the school and the community.

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. Finch (1930s40s), who was married to the wellknown author Betty Smith (“A Tree Grows in Brooklyn”). The Boss (Kathy Long) appears and says she can’t pay them until “I sell them steers.” She gives them each $10 and Curly says he’s heading out ... “won’t stop ridin’ ‘til it’s ﬁne and warm.” He’ll ask a stranger “Whereabouts am I pardner?” and he’ll answer “Californy, cowboy.” Time for Stub, the multi-talented Donna Smith, to pull out a banjo from under the pillow and break out with “I’m a poor, lonesome, cowboy ...”

Some of the features specifically implemented for the festival include open captions and audio descriptions for the films, ASL interpretation for all in-person spoken content (with auto-captioning available for live-streamed content) and a sliding scale for ticket prices.

ReelAbilities Film Festival returns with hybrid approach ATTRACTIONSCOMING

The second annual Coloradobased ReelAbilities Film Festival offers two options for potential audiences: in-person in Denver and Boulder, from Wednesday, Aug. 24 through Sunday, Aug. 28, and virtually, from Aug. 24 through Wednesday, Aug. 31. The in-person screenings will be at the JCC Mizel Arts and Culture Center, 350 S. Dahlia St. in Denver and the Boulder JCC, 6007 Oreg Ave. in Boulder. Opening night at the Mizel Arts and Culture Center will be held at 6 p.m. on the 24th at 6 p.m. with a free reception and community resource fair before the screening of the film, “The Specials.” The festival includes nine films showing in-person and 13 films that can be accessed virtually, along with supplemental programming and question-and-answer sessions, according to provided information. And organizers have worked hard to ensure that all attendees are comfortable.“We’re a welcoming place for people with mobility issues and want to be a place where any can come and feel welcome,” Gragg said. “Nobody will be judged for who they are — they’re just encouraged to come and watch a film.”

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 Pulitzer-Prize 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.Aftersuch 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.

While the state is exempting menstrual, period products and diapers from state taxes, some cities will not be exempting them from city taxes. The Women’s Foundation of Colorado is developing a toolkit to help community members work with their local elected officials to enact the same kind of tax exemptions for these products on a city level. Denver and Aurora are two cities that have recently exempted these products from city taxes. That means people in those cities will see greater savings. The new law will decrease state revenue on an ongoing basis, according to the fiscal note. The state is expecting a decrease in the General Fund revenue by $5.2 million in 2022-23 and $11 million in 2023-24. The new law is planning for minimal increase in workload for the Colorado Department of Revenue. They’ll be tasked with updating sales and use tax guidance forms.

The state projects more than 200,000 children will be in diapers next ﬁscal year. Myrland said each of those families are spending about $1,000 a year on diapers. This tax exemption will mean a meaningful savings for those families.“There are estimates that one in three families with kids in diapers have reported they’ve needed access to more diapers than they have,” said Myrland, “and it’s because of “Parentscost.”have reported missing work because they couldn’t provide all the diapers a care center might need,” she continued. “Which means parents can’t work to support their families, making the problem worse.”

‘There are estimates that one in three families with kids in diapers have reported they’ve needed access to more diapers than they have, and it’s because of cost.’

People who buy diapers, pads and tampons will no longer pay state sales taxes in Colorado. The bipartisan law exempting menstrual products and diapers from state sales and use taxes went into effect on August 10. Previously, the state sales tax code considered pads, tampons, and diapers a luxury item, excluding them from tax exemptions. This new law recognizes those items as a necessity, so they are now exempt from state sales taxes. “People didn’t even realize these products were taxed from the beginning,” said Louise Myrland, vice president of programs for the Women’s Foundation of Colorado. “This new law will help many Coloradans who need it most.”

The state no longer charges taxes on diapers and feminine products as of Aug. 10.

Gamba added that VELA allowed “the small guys” to go out and try their hands at a program with community support. “It’s probably hard to go out, start something just on your own,” Gamba said. “It sure is a lot easier when there’s a community behind it.”

“This investment is about giving choices and opportunities for young people, for families, that maybe the traditional system isn’t working,” Skandera said.

Colorado schools eligible

Colorado alternative schools are eligible for $750,000 in grant funding.

VELA has also helped other entrepreneurial organizations such as Impact Wyoming, which trains students in developing business plans and pitching their ideas to local entrepreneurs.Gamba said he’s seen success at La Luz just by how excited kids are to talk about what they learned at the end of the day. He said parents are so used to kids saying at pickup time that their day was “ﬁne” and they learned “nothing,” that it was a win “that kids were getting back in cars, and happily engaging in conversations with their parents.”

CROWSSUP DRO ELZZ

BY BRAMMHI BALARAJAN THE COLORADO SUN For some kids, every school day can be monotonous. That’s why Kyle Gamba, who has worked in public education for 15 years, started the micro-school La Luz in Denver to ensure education was more than just “kids sitting at desks.” At La Luz, kids learn while being immersed in the community, and on the go. In the past year, 13 students spent weeks at a time outdoors and reported to classrooms at the Denver Zoo and the History Colorado Center.

SHUTTERSTOCK

“If you’re learning about government and history, it just seems like a way more authentic place to do it,” Gamba said. The micro-school for middle schoolers was one of the ﬁrst grantees of the VELA Education Fund, founded two years ago to provide ﬁnancial support to alternative education programs. At the time, La Luz received $25,000 in funding — enough to help support Gamba as he left what he called a “cushy” school job and struck out on his own with a new approach to teaching, emphasizing experiential learning, relationship building and character development. The VELA Education Fund, in partnership with the Daniels Fund, is now offering $750,000 in grants to educational entrepreneurs in four states, including Colorado. The grantees could be awarded up to $10,000 for nontraditional educational programs. Alternate education models could include micro-schools — tiny schools with comparatively few students — and hybrid programs that incorporate both virtual and in-person learning or communityfocusedVELAlearning.haspreviously awarded 1,600 grants nationwide, totalling more than $16.5 million. Hanna Skandera, president of the Daniels Fund, said the fund is about bolstering innovation and providing new options for students.
