cents on Uber and Lyft rides starting in 2022 that would increase based on the federal Consumer Price Index. The fee would be cut in half for people carpooling in a rideshare, or riding in an electric vehicle. In addition to the funding mecha- nisms in the measure, there are also requirements that the Colorado Department of Transportation take greenhouse gas emissions reduction goals into account when planning future projects. State offi cials also must consider the impact of trans- portation work on communities where low-income people, minori- ties or housing-cost-burdened fami- lies make up 40% of the population under the new law. Finally, the bill emphasizes — and spends money on — an electric-ve- hicle future, as well as mass transit, including a potential Front Range passenger rail system.
MY NAME IS
STACY WHITTON Veterinarian cares for all kinds of equine creatures
A passion for horses
I’m an equine veterinarian. I take care of horses, donkeys, mules and miniature horses.
I grew up in Franktown, and spent much of my youth riding horses. My dad and brother are engineers, and I thought that’s where I was headed.
Instead, I ran away from undergrad and wound up in Americorps. I helped with disaster response after hurricanes Charlie, Francis, Ivan and Jean. I love emergency response and animals, and I decided to become a veterinarian.
I loved emergency medicine, but horses were my passion. I assisted at an endurance race, and I noticed heart murmurs in several of the horses, and it made me want to turn away from research and head right into working with horses.
All the pretty horses
Our clinic is in Elizabeth, and
Stacy Whitton said approaching an injured horse is all about keeping your cool.

sometimes people bring animals to me, but most often I’m headed out into the fi eld in a truck. I cover a lot of Elbert and Douglas counties.
We have people with show horses, and people with horses in their back yards.
But I’m also the primary care veterinarian for the Harmony Equine Center of the Dumb Friends League. I treat a lot of starved or feral horses, and those that need new homes.
It’s easy to end up with a wild horse if you just don’t pay attention to them. Not so much in this area, but in the mountains, the Western Slope or on the eastern plains, you can end up with large herds of horses who don’t know what people are.
A matter of demeanor
Approaching a hurt or nervous horse is all about your demeanor. If you’re scared, they get scared. It’s about not getting psyched out and staying relaxed in a crappy situation. Some will lose their minds regardless. But if you’re an animal person, they can pick up on that. Medications can help too, of course.
Sometimes we are doing surgery in the fi eld. The most common fi eld surgery is castration — it’s the fastest surgery you’ll ever see. Wound repairs are common. For more specialized issues, we do have a surgery center.
It’s made me realize how much just a very small interaction can make such a difference, for horses and people. I appreciate when an owner calls in tears, and I can reassure them that I can make it better. That’s one of the best parts.

Randy Penn memorial scheduled at Englewood High School
BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
After Englewood’s school board changed the name of the school district’s athletic stadium last year in honor of Randy Penn — a longtime Englewood athletic coach, teacher and former mayor who died at age 71 last September — the historic fi gure will soon be remembered at a memorial event at that stadium.
Services will begin at 5 p.m. Aug. 21 at Randy Penn Stadium, located on The Englewood Campus at 3800 S. Logan St., home to Englewood High School.
The event is open to the public, said Debbie Penn, Randy’s widow.
Debbie Penn asked that the public wear black, blue or white, and the dress code is casual to
account for the August heat. The family would like attendees in the stadium stands by 5 p.m. Penn, who left a lasting mark on young athletes and students for decades, passed away on Sept. 3. Penn began teaching in Englewood Schools in 1981 and remained with the district until 2008, where he coached Pirates sports including football, swimming and track. He served as Englewood’s mayor from 2011 Penn through 2015 and then moved into leadership of the Greater Englewood Chamber of Commerce before retiring in spring 2019. Englewood Schools Superintendent Wendy Rubin commented on Penn’s legacy around the time the school board renamed the stadium in October. “In all my life, I’ve never met someone so committed to their community and their schools and to lifting up those around them,” Rubin said.
New o ce helps veterans fi nd benefi ts, assistance
STAFF REPORT
A new veterans’ services offi ce in Aurora opened this year to help connect the area’s large population of veterans to benefi ts, with the goal of meeting their needs closer to home, according to an Arapahoe County news release.
Before the new offi ce’s opening, Arapahoe County veterans had to visit the offi ce in Littleton, far from residents of the east Denver metro area.
The new offi ce sits at Arapahoe County’s Altura Plaza facility at 15400 E. 14th Place, on Chambers Road just south of Colfax Avenue. It’s a short drive east of Interstate 225.
Adams and Arapahoe counties partnered on the necessary funding.
Veterans Service Offi ces are county-level departments in each state that assist veterans and their families by answering questions and educating about the benefi ts for veterans that are available from federal, state, county and local resources, according to the news release.
The offi ces also help eligible persons with fi ling claims for benefi ts. The VSO’s accredited offi cers — who typically are veterans themselves — help determine eligibility and prepare claims and applications that go to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs.
Whenever veterans need assistance that may be outside the offi ce’s scope, the VSO team connects them with resources from local agencies and community partners.
The City of Aurora is also helping fund the new offi ce, which opened in early 2021.
With the help of U.S. Rep. Jason Crow and a local veteran, Arapahoe County recently created a video to further explain what the offi ce does and how it helps the veteran community. To see the video and make an appointment, visit arapahoegov. com/352/Veteran-Services.
