David Ray reflects on time with board, serving school district

BY MCKENNA HARFORD MHARFORD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

For the last three decades, David Ray has been a fixture of the Douglas County School District, serving as a principal, opening new schools, starting the outdoor education center and sitting on the school board for eight years.

With the election over, Ray finished out his time as a board member at the Nov. 14 meeting, which included a reception for outgoing board members Ray and Jason Page.

Dozens of community members and district staff, current and former, attended the reception to thank Ray for his years of dedication to the students and schools. Numerous public commenters at the board meeting also thanked him.

Superintendent Erin Kane said the district is incredibly grateful for Ray’s years of service, adding that he will always be part of the DCSD family.

“I have seen firsthand your passion, dedication and love for Douglas County School District,” Kane said.

“Serving as a volunteer for eight

years and giving countless hours to our students, staff and families is incredible. It will feel strange not seeing you up on the dais.”

Board member Susan Meek, who has served on the board with Ray since 2019, choked up while recognizing his commitment to Douglas County schools.

Meek said Ray always centwered students in his decisions and he would leave an enduring legacy for that.

“Your fingerprints are going to be on this district for generations,” Meek said. “I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart. Eight years of showing up, with a binder so thick, and poring over every single detail and it was for the kids.”

In an interview with the Douglas County News-Press, Ray reflected on his time in the district and what he hopes his legacy will be.

Ray first came to Douglas County as a principal for Southridge Elementary in 1991. He would go on to open Coyote Creek Elementary, Mammoth Heights Elementary and Prairie Crossing Elementary, as well

as the outdoor education center.

Ray said he first considered running for the board in 2015 because he was concerned with board members and the superintendent at the time creating a culture that he described as hostile to teachers and damaging to the district.

“I didn’t recognize the district,” he said. “When I reflected about the principals leaving, the high teacher turnover rate, I thought, someone has to step in and do something for the kids because this is impacting them.”

When Ray won his board seat in 2015, he was part of a slate of candidates who opposed the board majority and pushed back on their agenda to reform the school district.

In his first term on the board, Ray said he focused on trying to reverse the damage to district culture, which he felt had been caused by silencing

staff.

“My priority was that I wanted to restore what we had, with teachers having power and autonomy, but at the same time, having a sense that we were all in it together,” he said.

Halfway through his first term, voters ushered in a new board majority and Ray was no longer in the minority. He said those years would be some of the most productive in his time, streamlining district policies and rebuilding relationships with teachers and staff.

When the 2019 election rolled around, Ray said he decided to run to continue the work he had started and support his fellow board members.

“We were on such an incredible trajectory at that time,” Ray said.

Shortly into his second term, the SEE REFLECTING, P3

district’s trajectory was disrupted by the covid pandemic. Ray said it was a terrifying time and he worried every day over the decisions he was tasked with.

Though Ray knows people disagree with him, he stands by his choice to listen to the guidance provided by healthcare professionals at the time.

“The responsibility was so daunting and there was so much polarization,” he said. “We had to protect our kids and we had to protect our staff.”

The polarization in the district prompted another board flip in 2021 and put Ray back in the minority.

Working with the new board started off rocky, Ray said, with the majority reversing pandemicrelated decisions, firing former superintendent Corey Wise, breaking Colorado Open Meetings Law and considering the elimination of the district’s equity policy.

However, Ray said he thinks the board members were able to find some compromise and build relationships because of shared goals, such as supporting school funding and providing multiple pathways for students to be successful. He points to the passage of the mill levy override this November and the opening of the Legacy Campus as two examples of good work.

“I have to give them a lot of credit for being learners,” he said. “I think

they had the realization that there are good things in the district that we need to preserve and protect.”

As Ray leaves the board, he said he is proud of having contributed to district infrastructure, reviving a better culture where teachers “are not fearful and they feel valued,” as well as passing school funding in 2018 and this year.

Ray added that his absolute favorite memories are working with the Student Advisory Group and bonding with students.

“Those moments are unseen, but, for me, they’re probably more valued than all of the things people do see,” he said.

When it comes to regrets, Ray said he will be reflecting on whether he could have done more to prevent tumultuous times and address

student concerns, especially regarding inclusion, diversity and equity.

Ray encouraged the board to keep all students at the center of their decision making going forward.

“I think this board needs to tackle students feeling like they don’t belong in the district,” he said.

After 33 years, Ray said the district feels like part of him, so he plans to continue to be involved, but in a different capacity, as a community member and grandparent.

“I don’t think people realize there really is magic in this district,” Ray said. “When you have the high performance of students regardless of the chaos, there really is something unique about our district that no other district has … and it’s the people in this place.”

Douglas County Commissioner Lora Thomas has voted against forming the new PHOTO BY ELLIS ARNOLD water commission.

Water advisory board approved in 2-1 vote Thomas is only ‘no’ vote

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

After months of discussion, two of Douglas County’s elected leaders formally voted to create a volunteer board that will help decide the future of water supply in the county, over the third leader’s objection.

With the help of the new volunteer group, “Douglas County will have a comprehensive 2050 Water Plan that will encompass the rural community,” Abe Laydon, one of the county’s three leaders, said at the November meeting. Urban parts of the county are also in its focus.

The new Douglas County Water Commission is expected to help create a plan regarding water supply and conservation, among other aspects of water in the county.

It’ll consist of unpaid volunteers, according to the county.

Earlier this month, the three county leaders chose the 11 members who

will serve on the water commission.

The list includes many current or former public officials.

The Douglas County government isn’t a water provider — instead, many local entities provide the water that flows to residents’ showers and sinks, like the Parker Water and Sanitation District or the Dominion Water and Sanitation District in northwest Douglas County.

With Douglas County’s population expected to keep growing — and many homes relying on a limited supply of water from underground aquifers — the question of how to shore up water supply in the county hangs over the area’s water providers.

County officials intend for the water commission to create a county water plan, partly by integrating existing water provider plans into a “Comprehensive Douglas County Water Plan,” according to the county website.

Parker officially annexes Pope property

BY HALEY LENA HLENA@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

For more than a decade, Mike Smith, the owner of Flat Acres Farm on Dransfeldt Road in Parker has been working with various departments to annex the Pope Property into town limits.

Although it has been a complex process, Smith is happy to see years of work come together.

“It’s good for the family. It’s good for the town,” said Smith.

Located in the town’s commercial core, east of Cherry Creek and south of the Twenty Mile Road and Dransfeldt Road intersections, the Pope Property is currently used as Flat Acres Farm, an “agritainment” and commercial recreation business.

At a Nov. 20 town council meeting, the 38-acre property located in

unincorporated Douglas County, was officially annexed and zoned into three different districts under the unanimous decision of the council.

Zoned as open space and dedicated to the town, the western section includes about nine acres of the property within the Cherry Creek 100-year floodplain.

The central section, which consists of nearly 11 acres, will be zoned agricultural and will allow Smith the opportunity to continue the current “agritainment” operation.

The nearly 17 acres remaining will be zoned to the Greater Downtown District - Market Center.

Additionally, there were two small areas within the property that were already in the town and were zoned SEE ANNEX, P21

Nonprofits to benefit from annual Colorado Gives Day

y, BY HALEY LENA ed HLENA@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM er he When a child is diagnosed with a critical illness or is dealing with a nd medical crisis, it can take a toll on rn everyone in the family. Parents may es need to cut back on work hours to take ry care of their child, they may not have a vehicle and unexpected expenses ts might come up. ed There With Care, a nonprofit, he provides basic needs and services like nt food, housing stability, transportation assistance to Colorado families during ill the critical phase of a medical crisis. wn Founded in Colorado by Paula Dupre Pesmen, producer of “Harry Potter,” all re ed

There With Care launched in Boulder in 2005 and now has served about 11,500 families from across the state.

The organization serves families who are referred by medical agencies and work with hospitals and social workers to identify and ease the stresses a family faces when their child experiences a medical crisis or critical illness.

“We work to try to alleviate those everyday burdens,” said Amber O’Connell, community engagement manager at There With Care. “So that they (families) can focus on what’s really important and that’s spending time with their child.”

Last year, nearly 7,000 care packages were delivered by over 350 volunteers.

Cy DeBoer participated in There With Care events and fundraising for several years when she decided she could do more to help.

“I just decided, I think I can do more than write checks,” said DeBoer.

2015 marked the beginning of Bin Blessed when DeBoer invited 10 women to her house and gave each of them a bin that had a list of needs.

DeBoer then explained she wanted to do a community effort of getting neighbors to donate to There With Care.

Throughout the year, Bin Blessed supports There With Care by collecting needed items such as diapers, baby essentials and food in Highlands

Ranch, Lone Tree, Parker, Castle Pines, Castle Rock and Denver.

DeBoer was amazed as people from around the neighborhood began to fill the bins, providing Bin Blessed the opportunity to expand to schools and churches.

Bin Blessed has received over $1 million worth of goods.

Additionally, during the holiday season, volunteers with Bin Blessed provide a crockpot for There With Care families in November and a cup of care cocoa kit in December.

“Bin Blessed has an incredible network of their own and they have done a lot for There With Care,” said O’Connell.

Parker council approves budget

BY HALEY LENA HLENA@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The Parker Town Council unanimously adopted a 2023 budget revision, and approved the 2024 budget after at a recent meeting.

For the second time this year, the council approved an amendment to the current year’s budget, which is allowed according to the town’s municipal code.

“Typically when we have a supplemental request, there is both revenue that is coming into the town as well as additional expenses,” said Mary Lou Brown, director of the finance department.

The town has multiple funds such as the general fund - the main operational fund of the town, recreation fund and public improvements fund.

While there was a decreased expense in the general fund, said Brown, there were some increases for a few items for the police department that were offset by grant revenue.

“So the impact to the general fund is the savings of $225,000,” said Brown.

Additionally, there were revenue increases due to increased participation rates in the cultural and recreation funds.

There were also cost increases that were not caused by inflation, rather

driven by projects that were not in the 2023 budget such as the sinkhole on Bradbury Ranch Drive in June.

“It’s important to make sure our appropriations are adequate to cover our actual expenditures that we have,” said Brown. “We go through this process this time of the year to make sure that we have reflected in the budget, the expenditures and the extent that we’ve had revenue come in.”

The 2023 budget is available on the Town of Parker website at https:// rb.gy/ymg2cm.

With a goal to maintain adequate equal cash balance in each fund, the council also approved the 2024 budget plan. The total approved budget is anticipated to be over $24 million, according to the presentation given by Brown.

The finance department anticipates a cash to expense ratio of 26.9%, Brown said.

A cash to expense ratio is important for the town as it acts similar to a savings account, said Brown. If something were to happen, the town would still be able to make payments to the vendors and also pay employees for several months.

“This is kind of a set aside amount that we all try to maintain to protect ourselves in some type of emergency,” said Brown.

Also as the town looks to add over 10 employees to the Parker Police Department and four employees in the public works department, the expense growth is anticipated to be 14%.

The town expects to see a lot of outflow in 2024 within the capital renewal and replacement reserve fund as there will be multiple projects starting.

“We need to get them [projects] appropriated so that the dollars are set aside as we move into negotiating contracts for them,” said Brown.

The largest item for capital will be the Lincoln Widening project in the anticipated amount of $23 million.

Brown added that the Cottonwood Stormwater and Storm Pipe Lining projects will be funded through P3 (Parker Authority for Reinvestment), an organization that brings local government, developers and residents together to encourage projects that would enhance the community.

Compared to last year’s budget, there has been a 4 to 6% increase in the budget across all the funds, said Brown, however, costs are also increasing.

Mayor Jeff Toborg added that the town is retiring debt, which will be saving the taxpayers nearly $3 million.

The projected 2024 annual budget can be found on the Town of Parker website at https://rb.gy/mu4141.

School district, sheriff settle with ACLU

BY MCKENNA HARFORD MHARFORD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Douglas County School District and the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office settled a lawsuit with the American Civil Liberties Union over the use of handcuffs on an 11-yearold autistic boy at Sagewood Middle School, agreeing to increase training for school resource officers.

In March 2021, the ACLU sued the school district and sheriff’s office for “aggressively handcuffing” a student and leaving him in a patrol car while he banged his head and injured himself.

Under the settlement, the school district and sheriff’s office have updated their agreement to require school resource officers to receive training on interacting with people with disabilities, as well as have access to student behavioral plans and de-escalation techniques.

The settlement also includes training for school administration and mental health staff on the role of school resource officers, which does not include resolving discipline matters with students.

“Student conflict should never be handled like a criminal matter,” Deborah Richardson, ACLU of Colorado Executive Director, said in a statement. “With these revised policies, we can ensure that all students, especially those who need specific accommodations, feel safe at school.”

A statement from the school district said the safety and wellbeing of students is of “paramount

importance” to the district and sheriff’s office.

“DCSO and DCSD value their continued partnership to protect the safety and well-being of all students attending school and look forward to continuing to implement these additional changes,” the statement said.

The statement added that it is rare for a student to be handcuffed or arrested at school.

However, the ACLU said there is a pattern of the district disproportionately putting students with disabilities and students of color into restraints and seclusion.

The lawsuit stemmed from an August 2019 incident at Sagewood Middle School where a student with autism was triggered by a classmate and “poked” his classmate with a pencil. A school psychologist removed the student from the classroom and then the school resource officers got involved.

The ACLU says the officers handcuffed and arrested the student on assault charges. While the student was in the patrol car, he became dysregulated and injured himself.

The officers did not take the student to receive medical care, but instead took him to a juvenile detention facility and held him on a $25,000 bond, according to the ACLU. The lawsuit alleged the actions of the school resource officers violated the student’s rights under the Fourth Amendment and the Americans with Disabilities Act.

Parker chamber hosts annual economic breakfast

BY HALEY LENA HLENA@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Parker community leaders, large employers and business owners and entrepreneurs came together at the PACE Center in Parker for an educational event for local businesses to learn about the current economic state of Colorado and how to continue to grow.

“We are a force to be reckoned with,” said Councilmember Joshua Rivero. “We are leaders in our county, in our region when it comes to local businesses.”

The Parker Chamber of Commerce held their annual Economic Update Breakfast, which was sponsored by CORE Electric Cooperative, among others.

The Town of Parker has excelled in the local realm and is growing in

a larger employer segment as well, said Rivero, as well as a growth in the national brands.

Mandi Lesher, chief executive officer at CORE Electric Cooperative, said Parker is one of the fastest growing communities.

“We have some of the best reliability in the state,” said Lesher.

“And that District 7, which is Parker, this year has the best reliability out of our entire service territory.”

J.J. Ament, president and CEO of the Denver Metro Chamber of Commerce, leads the state’s largest privately-funded economic development organization and was one of the keynote speakers at the event.

More than 70 cities and economic development agencies in 10 counties participate through the Metro Denver Economic Development

Corporation.

Therefore, when talking about economic development in the region and small business development, said Ament, they are talking about metro Denver, which includes 10 counties, including Parker.

“We work in a collaborative effort within this entire area,” said Ament.

Through a code of ethics, the corporation aims to build a diverse industry cluster so Colorado is no longer susceptible to disruptions, which is the nation’s first regional approach to economic development.

While Ament said he would rather tackle the challenges of economic growth as they come with resources and ideas, he has seen that Colorado’s population and growth has started to level out.

Additionally, as the talent in Colorado has benefited the state,

access to that talent needs to be improved.

Other challenges include housing being too expensive. According to Ament, the biggest risk to the Colorado economy is public policy.

As an industry, the Denver Metro Chamber of Commerce concentrates on Aerospace, aviation, bioscience, broadband and digital communications, energy and natural resources, financial services, food and beverage production, healthcare and wellness, IT software, arts and culture, and outdoor recreation.

These are the areas that have seen the most economic growth.

“When I think about ecosystems, I think of complexity,” said Lea. “I think of stakeholders, a wide range of stakeholders.”

Ecosystem is a strategy to drive innovation, entrepreneurship and can lift a state’s strategy, said Lea, adding that in Colorado there is an advanced industry strategy.

District looks at meaning of 5A passing, 5B failing

BY MCKENNA HARFORD MHARFORD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

With mixed approval from Douglas County voters, the school district is investing $66 million in staff compensation and school security, while planning creative solutions for capital needs that did not receive funding.

The November election resulted in the passage of a $66 million mill levy override, while the $484 million bond failed. The failed bond would have funded construction of three new elementary schools, expansion of two middle schools and maintenance for all other district buildings.

The voter-approved $66 million mill levy override will go to raises for staff and improving school security.

At the Nov. 14 school board meeting, all of the board members, Superintendent Erin Kane and several district staff members expressed thanks to the voters for supporting the district.

“We have such gratitude toward our voters and taxpayers for being willing to invest in our kids and in the future of our school district,” Kane said. “I hope our staff heard loud and clear that our community absolutely supports you.”

Of the $66 million, $60 million is already dedicated to an average 9.2% raise for teachers, an average 9% raise for classified staff and an average 7% raise for other district staff.

The increase will go into effect in January and staff will receive retroactive pay for the first half of the

school year, Kane said.

“We will be dropping about $30 million into paychecks in January, which is just amazing,” Kane said.

“This ties up the $60 million per year going forward in order to maintain the salaries for our staff.”

The passage of the mill levy override puts Douglas County’s starting salary at $50,182, up from $45,209, which was the lowest in the metro area.

Kane is optimistic that the mill levy override will not only retain teachers, but attract them. She said the morning after the election, district principals received messages from former staff who were interested in returning to Douglas County.

Though the increased mill levy will help Douglas County be competitive, Kane noted it won’t completely close the gap with other districts.

The remaining $6 million from the mill levy override is reserved for spending on security, such as increasing school resource officers and adding a security specialist to every elementary school.

Security specialists are already employed at middle and high schools in the district.

Kane said the district’s law enforcement partners are also having trouble hiring new school resource officers so it may take time for that money to be spent.

“To be realistic, we probably won’t see a change in that staffing level on our side until next school year,” she said.

When it comes to the impact of the failed bond measure, or 5B on the ballot, Kane said the district will not be able to build a new school for a few years and will have to prioritize emergency capital needs because there isn’t funding for other improvements.

On average, the district needs about $35 million annually for building maintenance.

“Our resources are all budgeted because we run very tight, but as there are underruns, we will set that aside to handle emergency capital SEE 5A & 5B, P13

Thankful for our Douglas County voters

T

his is the time of year to be thankful, and all of us in the Douglas County School District are so thankful for our Douglas County voters!

Our community recognized the value of our Douglas County School District (DCSD) teachers and staff by voting to pass 5A, a $66 million Mill Levy Override (MLO), and the impact a quality school district has on a community. This is a HUGE celebration for our school district, our staff, our students, and our communities!

We are so grateful for your support.

Passing 5A helps us narrow the pay gap our teachers and staff have experienced for a number of years.

We already have inquiries from teachers and staff that left us for other districts, because now they can now afford to come home. While we have not fully addressed our salary challenges, this is a big step in the right direction!

Of course, the fact that 5B (our $484 million Bond) did not pass means we do have some challenges to overcome.

However, we are committed to continuing to educate our community about the need for Bond funding. In the meantime, DCSD will use reserves and available resources for emergency capital needs and will do everything possible to provide our

needs that would shut a building down,” Kane said. “We won’t be able to pull enough money out of the couch cushions to build an elementary school.”

The last time Douglas County built a neighborhood school was in 2010.

Board member David Ray said the bond failing for the second year in a row is a major disappointment.

“We have to be honest that we now have children that will never experience a neighborhood elementary school and to me that’s tragic,” he said.

One of the biggest challenges with

students and staff with comfortable and safe buildings to learn and work.

We will partner with our community to find creative solutions to overcrowded schools in areas where neighborhoods are quickly growing (such as Erin Kane analyzing potential boundary changes, deploying mobiles, etc). We have work to do and we are thankful for our engaged community and will be coming to you for feedback on solutions in the coming year.

The efforts around these ballot measures unified our county and I believe that we set an important example for our students regarding perseverance and setting aside differences to fight together for our students, staff, and schools. There is nothing we cannot accomplish when we work together. For that, I am thankful.

P.S. Many of our staff members have recorded thank you videos for our community. I hope you will take some time to watch them: https:// bit.ly/dcsdthankyou.

EDUCATION CORNER

Erin Kane is the superintendent of the Douglas County School District the bond is that each year it fails, the district’s funding needs continue to increase, Kane said.

The district has areas of overcrowding alongside areas with declining enrollment, contributing to a complex issue.

Kane said that ultimately the district will have to go back to voters for a bond to pay for new schools and building maintenance.

“Overcrowding is a real challenge for us because this problem is not getting smaller, it’s getting bigger,” she said. “We will have to go back to the voters at some point because we have to address all of these urgent needs.”

The school board plans to continue discussing next steps for capital needs at the Dec. 6 board retreat.

VOICES A time to give

W

hile trying to kill time in between hockey games with my children last weekend, we went into a FROM THE few stores EDITOR in Colorado Springs.

It did not take long for them to start telling me what they wanted me to buy for them.

Frustrated, Thelma Grimes I had to make a rule that we were only there to buy gifts for others and not ourselves. I am not going to lie — there was some clear disappointment on their faces.

When I was a kid, one of my favorite Christmas traditions was my dad taking my brothers and me out to the stores to buy gifts for each other and, especially, for my mom. She stayed home and we shopped.

It was always a one-time thing.

I can’t say we always got my mom stuff she wanted or needed. As a mom myself, I now get it. My son bought me a wedding and engagement ring last year from a clearance rack. He made it clear it was big, so he knew I’d love it. It still makes me smile.

Now that I have children in a world where it seems they always want and forget to give — teaching this lesson can be tough. I want them to understand the importance of giving to others. I want them to understand it’s not always about them.

I can tell you it’s an uphill battle with my 10-year-old who was upset that I would not go upstairs in the sports store to look at the $250 hockey stick that he swears will make him play better.

All of this led to one of my children asking me who I

give to. I told them I give in many ways, including through my work at Colorado Community Media, where we are collecting food and toys this year to distribute throughout the organizations in our community doing good, important work.

We are also one of those organizations that will be asking for help this year. You see, it’s not cheap to provide news to our communities.

Print costs are always high and paying our staff a living wage seems harder and harder every year.

In the season about giving, I hope those who regularly read my column might consider giving to our company this year.

From now until Dec. 31, your gift of up to $1,000 will be doubled, and it will make a huge difference to Colorado Community Media and the communities we serve. The link to make a quick and easy contribution is coloradocommunitymedia. com/give-to-ccm.

It has been a rough year in the journalism industry, as tens of thousands of writers who you rely on to tell you what’s happening in communities across the nation have been let go in 2023.

Going beyond Colorado Community Media, I also want to highlight an amazing program in Colorado. Did you know that Dec. 5 is the designated Colorado Gives Day? It’s a one-day online giving movement that benefits more than 3,400 nonprofits that could use some extra help.

Many of those nonprofits in need come from right here in the Denver metro area.

Embracing what’s next in life

G

o as far as you can see; when you get there, you’ll be able to see farther.” - J.P. Morgan We have all probably lived in that moment of asking WINNING ourselves what’s next in life. Whether we WORDS are riding the wave of success and are looking toward a future goal, or just wondering if there is something bigger in store for us, we need to look beyond where we are today to see even further.

In speaking with a Michael Norton young and successful salesperson who had already reached 200% of his quota, I asked him about his expectations for the last two months of the year, and what next year would look like. He shared two things with me. He was certain he would bring in at least one or two more deals this year, and that no matter what the quota assigned to him, he will look further and hold himself accountable to reaching an even higher quota.

When life feels mundane, challenges loom large, or dreams seem out of reach, it’s easy to get stuck in a rut of discouragement. We lose sight of the bigger picture. But there is always something greater in store for each of us, if we open our eyes to see it.

The universe has grand plans that our limited human perspective cannot yet imagine. There are possibilities, adventures, and joys waiting around the corner that will dwarf current struggles.

The next chapter contains wonder that we cannot possibly fathom.

Breakthroughs often follow breakdowns. In times of deep uncertainty, when we are tested most severely, we gain strength, wisdom and resilience that equip us for the journey ahead. Hardships transform us. And progress is rarely linear. Sometimes we must move sideways or circle back before we can move forward. But each step leads somewhere. There are gifts hidden in every challenge.

The beauty is always there, though SEE NORTON, P15

some days we notice it more than others. Love finds a way even through the darkest of nights. The sun rises again no matter how fierce the storm. You were created for more than you know. There is something bigger in store for you.

Keep walking, even when the way is unclear. Have faith that the universe is on your side. Your next triumph is already in motion.

The allure of the open road speaks to our deep human longing for adventure, exploration and new horizons. When we reach milestones or transitions in life, that yearning for “what’s next?” revs its engines. Though the unknown can feel daunting, embracing that open road mindset unlocks our potential.

After achieving a long-sought-after goal, the question naturally arises — now what? We must rekindle our curiosity and set our sights on a new quest. Complacency is the enemy of growth. There are always new skills to build, contributions to make, and parts of ourselves yet unrealized.

When a relationship ends, a job loss occurs, or the nest empties, it can feel like we’ve hit a dead end.

But these openings are actually on-ramps to different routes. We regain the freedom to reinvent and redirect. Changing course realigns us with our soul’s true north.

On the open road of life, there will be detours and breakdowns. Plans sometimes unravel in spectacular fashion. But with resilience and optimism, we leverage obstacles to propel ourselves forward. In the rearview mirror, setbacks become signposts guiding us toward our purpose. At every age and stage, embracing the unknown with an open road mindset liberates us to evolve. We uncover capacities we didn’t know we possessed.

Each new horizon expands our perspective.

There is always adventure awaiting around the next bend. The journey holds more than you can imagine.

Lean into the mystery. Accelerate into what’s next. The open road of life promises surprise, joy, and the thrill of chasing dreams yet dreamt.

How about you? Is there something bigger in store for you?

Are you ready to travel on the open road of what’s next in life? As always, I would love to hear your story at gotonorton@gmail.com, and when we can look beyond our current state and look further down the road and the opportunities still ahead, it really will be a better than good life.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Thank you, Sonya

To Sonya Ellingboe: Reading of your retirement, my heart was filled with conflicting emotions.

First, a sense of support for a fellow retiree. You’ve earned your respite.

Second, a sense of loss of a premier voice for the arts in Colorado, and in Littleton particularly. Your work has been comprehensive, coherent, and complete. And finally, a sense of personal gratitude.

You were supportive of my career at Littleton High School as drama director, and as performing arts chair, from the moment I arrived in 1992. You thoroughly covered and promoted our productions, and the performances and competitions of the choral and instrumental music programs in a way I had

never experienced. I was recently inducted into the Colorado Thespians Hall of Fame, joining my former colleagues, Frank Early at Arapahoe High School and Stanford Paris at Heritage High School. I know your support of the performing arts throughout the district contributed to these honors.

You also favorably reviewed my two contributions to the Town Hall Arts Center: portraying Henry in “The Fantasticks,” and directing “The Last Night at Ballyhoo.”

You have been such an advocate for the arts, and were such a support for my own career. I thank you from the bottom of my heart!

up the story and wrote several articles on Sturgeon’s invention, according to local freelance writer and historian Rosemary Fetter.

The idea’s popularity spurred Wayne to organize the first outdoor Christmas lighting contest — which drew hundreds of participants.

Soon after, the tradition had gained a foothold across the front range.

By 1938, Denver had begun to display Christmas lights on the

Show.

“That’s really where the tradition that most of us still observe today, of leaving our lights up until the end of the Stock Show, because so many people were coming to Denver, both for the Christmas season and for the Stock Show,” Hansen said.

“It was an act of hospitality to leave the lights up so that everybody can

enjoy them.”

In 1945, NBC did a broadcast tribute to Denver and the Sturgeon family for having originated the tradition, according to Stromberg.

Now, Sturgeon Electric — still in business after all these years — celebrates its Christmastime roots by partnering with Colorado Children’s Hospital to hang lights on the homes of kids who are ailing during the holidays.

“This will be the sixth year in a row that Sturgeon Electric gives back to our community by putting lights on the homes of a child who is currently at Children’s Hospital,” Stromberg said. “We’re glad to be able to give back to our community and carry that tradition forward.”

This year, for History Colorado’s Zoom In exhibit — which examines the Centennial State’s history in 100 artifacts —

Hansen’s research team looked into the claim that Sturgeon invented outdoor Christmas lights to see if they could verify what many Denverites know as a piece of local mythology.

“It’s one of those stories where it may just be urban legend,” Hansen said. “And so, we went in and looked into it. I had a team of researchers that were working on that exhibition, and we dug into it trying to disprove it. And we couldn’t. It’s one of those enduring traditions, which is why we wanted to include it in the 100 objects exhibition.”

Thus, there is a strand of Christmas lights on display at the Zoom In exhibit at History Colorado’s Denver museum.

The organization also puts on an annual Christmas light tour that takes merrymakers on a bus ride throughout the city to discuss the tradition’s history and look at lighting displays today.

Arvada Center hosts ‘Cinderella’ this holiday season

T

he holiday season is a time filled with stories, whether they come in form of traditions long passed down or the fantastical kind we all gather round to hear for another year.

For this year, the Arvada Center’s holiday show is a bit of both — Rodgers and Hammerstein’s “Cinderella.”

“Cinderella is a great holiday show because it’s magical and larger than life,” wrote Lily Schmoker, who plays Charlotte, one of the sisters, in the production, in an email interview.

“The beautiful set design, the transformations and the huge group numbers create a spectacular experience which is perfect for the holidays. It’s a feel-good story that families can enjoy together.”

“Cinderella” runs at the center,

Performances are at 7:30 p.m.

Tuesday through Saturday, 1 p.m. on Wednesday and 2 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.

Directed by Kenny Moten, Clarke Reader the show takes the familiar tale of a young girl forced to be a servant by her evil stepmother and infuses it with some modern updates, including knights riding on hoverboards and villagers using cell phones. Don’t worry, all the characters audiences know and love are still around, just with a new twist.

version, the character appears magically in the story but in this version audiences get to meet her earlier as a beggar woman who eventually transforms into the fairy godmother.

“I’m approaching her with some silliness,” Watters explained.

“Because our costume design is not the traditional ballgown, the godmother has so much more silly playfulness to her that we get to transform into some elegance.

She’s a bit more eccentric, zany and playful.”

That sense of fun extends to all aspects of the story, with Schmoker bringing a humanly comedic touch to Charlotte, who she describes as a product of her mother who just wants to be loved.

“I think she is the total contrast of Ella, but I really fell in love with her,” Schmoker wrote. “I’m trying to play her with as much honesty as I can while keeping all her comedic moments, since she’s

While the show certainly has some changes, the crucial core story is still there and that’s the reason it has resonated with audiences for so long. Which, as it turns out, makes it the perfect fit for the holiday season.

“I hope audiences have a beautiful holiday joy infusion,” Watters said.

“They will be entertained and get to laugh and those are important experiences to have as a family.

These days it is so easy to get distracted by technology but I hope people will leave the show feeling joyful. It’s really fun to come be part of a show that is a real collaboration.”

WATER BOARD FROM PAGE 5

The management of water in Douglas County has been “a hot topic” for county residents for many years, said Commissioner George Teal.

The water board provides “a place where we can bring together our residents, bring together those who know water here in the county and get us working together as a county with a county focus,” Teal said at the Nov. 14 meeting.

The resolution to create the water commission passed on a 2-1 vote at that meeting, with county leader Lora Thomas voting against it.

Thomas has argued forming a water commission is “totally unnecessary, a waste of time and effort and money.”

She’s also expressed concern that the county’s formation of a water commission is “another swing at” reviving a controversial proposal to pump water to Douglas County from southern Colorado.

Eyes on ‘RWR’ proposal

The forming of the new commission comes against the backdrop of a proposal to pump about 22,000 acrefeet of water per year to Douglas County from the San Luis Valley, a region in the south part of the state.

An acre-foot is the equivalent of a one-foot-deep pool about the size of a football field. Renewable Water Resources, often called RWR, is the private company that proposed the project.

Sean Tonner, one of the principals of RWR attracted media attention for throwing his hat in the ring to

serve on the water commission. He’s now one of the commission’s 11 appointed members.

Teal has said he has been friends with Tonner for 20 years.

Last year, Laydon joined Thomas in deciding not to move forward with the Renewable Water Resources project, and Teal continues to support it.

“Everything’s on the table as far as I’m concerned,” Teal said this August. “We get another five or six years of rainy summers, OK, maybe then we can start to be picky and choosy.”

Laydon has said “it’s been much ado about nothing” that Tonner had brought a proposal to the county.

“I didn’t support it during the (American Rescue Plan Act) discussion, but that doesn’t mean there’s not room for people with big ideas that (can) bring people together,” Laydon said during a Nov. 6 meeting.

Laydon appeared to be referencing the county leaders’ decision in 2022 not to use federal ARPA dollars on the RWR project.

At the time, Laydon said his decision was because the county’s outside legal counsel concluded that the project was not eligible for federal COVID relief funds and recommended the county not participate.

In the Nov. 6 meeting, Laydon said that anyone on the water commission “has to check conflicts at the door.”

Another RWR leader, John Kim, had made it onto Teal’s list as someone whom he supports to be an “alternate” member of the water commission, who could serve if a main member is unavailable.

County officials had not yet

appointed the alternate members of the water commission, and it was unclear whether Kim would still be in the running to become an alternate.

The water commission’s first meeting could occur in December, and the main members of the water commission may play a role in determining whom the county appoints as alternate members, according to county staff.

Laydon and Teal supported appointing Tonner, who appeared for a public interview Oct. 13 via videoconferencing.

“RWR has no project in front of the county at this time, and the commission doesn’t exist (yet), so obviously we don’t have anything in front of the commission,” Tonner said at the time.

He also said he would recuse himself — or remove himself from participation — if any plans were to be pushed regarding RWR. Laydon has argued it’s important for officials to have a county-level water plan.

“Not having a plan is planning to fail,” Laydon said at the Nov. 14 meeting.

Money in Parker Water

Real-estate developers interested in exporting water from the San Luis Valley to Douglas County have contributed thousands of dollars to candidates for the Parker Water and Sanitation District Board, one of the largest water providers in the county, according to reporting from Fresh Water News.

Recently, Robert Kennah won a seat on the Parker water board and had received two donations from partners in RWR, a realestate development group whose

principals include former Colorado Gov. Bill Owens. The contributions were made by RWR principals John Kim and Hugh Bernardi, according to filings at the Colorado Secretary of State’s Office, Fresh Water News reported.

A second RWR-backed candidate, Kory Nelson, also received $10,000 in donations from RWR, but did not win a seat on the Parker water board.

If Nelson had won, RWR would have ties to three members of the five-member board, according to Ron Redd, the district manager of Parker Water, Fresh Water News reported.

Parker board member Brooke Booth is related by marriage to RWR principal Tonner, Redd said, according to the reporting.

Dozens applied to commission

Douglas County staff had previously told Colorado Community Media that more than 50 people applied to serve on the water commission.

Staff clarified in mid-November that the total number of applicants for the water commission is 50. (The county had mistakenly counted a few applications submitted for Douglas County Open Space Advisory Committee seats as part of that earlier total, according to staff.)

The county asked for applications

by Aug. 11 but later waived that deadline.

For a list of members appointed to the water commission, see Colorado Community Media’s previous coverage at tinyurl.com/ WaterCommissionMembers.

Aside from Tonner, another notable name on the list of members is James Eklund, who had worked on the state’s water plan, according to county staff.

ANNEX FROM PAGE 5

Greater Downtown - Market Center.

As part of the rezoning, a small portion of the existing lot will be rezoned to align with the zoning proposal around them. One piece will be rezoned to open space, which will be dedicated to the town. The other will be zoned agricultural, said Stacey Nerger of community development.

The eastern section, zoned Greater Downtown - Market Center, consists of the upland central section and the area located east of the future Dransfeldt Road Extension, according to a document provided to the town and will allow for additional commercial use.

“The annexation agreement ensures dedication of lands and easements necessary for the construction of Dransfeldt Road and associated improvement,” said Nerger.

David Brehm, president of Plan West Inc., said one of the multiple benefits of the annexation is the transportation network that will be provided through the Dransfeldt Road Extension.

The Dransfeldt Road Extension will go through the Pope Property to expand the transportation system for better bicycle, vehicular and pedestrian mobility across Cherry Creek.

Tom Williams, director of public works and engineering, said the town has always needed a parallel road to Parker Road and that the extension aims to relieve some of the traffic congestion.

“Both the development and this roadway really exist together and can’t exist without each other,” said Williams. “It will allow us to build a much needed transportation element.”

Brehm added other benefits will include economic development not only within the property but along the Dransfeldt corridor as well as preservation and conservation of the open space.

“It does work for everybody,” said Brehm.

“There’s a collective good and a collective benefit here.”

As all the council members have enjoyed Smith’s farm over the years, they were excited to see the annexation come into fruition.

Councilmember Laura Hefta thanked Smith and his family for what they are going to do for residents by providing more transportation to travel on, along with providing another commercial corridor.

“And also preserving the charm of Mr. Smith’s wonderful pumpkin patch and his land because we all love your farm,” said Hefta.

Councilmember Joshua Rivero, who was appointed as the acting mayor for the project by Mayor Jeff Toborg, said the annexation, zoning and road extension is mutually beneficial.

“The Pope family obviously is a founding family of this community and it is our duty to honor that family,” said Rivero. “This is an opportunity to let people know once again where Parker came from.”
