District approves millions in cuts School board aims to keep $30.4 million in cuts away from classrooms

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The assistant principal grew so distraught about managing the matter internally that she believed she was experiencing secondary trauma, according to interviews and statements from school staff cited in the incident reports.

The reports do not say that any adults were involved in sexual contact with children at the school.

School district employees named in the investigative reports did not respond to several requests for comment.

A Douglas County School District spokesperson provided a statement regarding the investigation on June 26 and asked Colorado Community Media to stop trying to contact the school employees directly about the matter.

The Douglas County School District will enter the 2020-21 school year with millions in cuts to its budget amid the ongoing pandemic.

School board directors approved next year’s $670 million budget on June 23. The district laid out more than $30 million in cuts, a blow to school funding that Superintendent Thomas Tucker called monumental.

“That’s no small feat,” Tucker said.

Roughly $17 million in cuts will be focused at the district level and $3.5 million at the school-building level.

The total breakdown also includes about $4.2 million from furloughs that district employees will take in the upcoming school year.

“Our board gave us the marching order to ensure we keep the cuts as far away from the buildings and the classrooms as possible,” Tucker said.

Budget Director Colleen Doan explained the $30.4 million deficit comes from a $22.5 million decrease to the district’s share of per-pupil revenue from the state and a $7.9 million increase in mandatory expenses.

The School Finance Act resulted in a $457 decrease in per pupil revenue for

‘I don’t feel safe’: A school’s nightmare How educators responded to alleged sexual contact by first-graders

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A principal has left the Douglas County School District for another job in education, months after his school became embroiled in a “failure to report” investigation into alleged “sexual contact” by first-grade children at the school.

Witness accounts detailed in Douglas County Sheriff ’s Office incident reports obtained by Colorado Community Media from officials alleged that young students at Sand Creek Elementary School in Highlands

Ranch persuaded and pressured other young students into inappropriate touching and exposing private body parts. Children involved in the alleged incidents were as young as age 6, the reports said.

The incidents are believed to have begun in October and continued into February before school staff became aware, according to the incident reports.

The case exposed confusion regarding mandatory reporting among school employees, particularly at the administrative level. The school’s assistant principal alleged she repeatedly asked her principal if they should involve law enforcement, while the principal maintained they could handle the situation administratively and directed her to oversee the school’s response, according to the incident reports.

Teal defeats Dorris in testy GOP race for DougCo commissioner Republican to face Democrat Neal-Graves in November election

BY ELLIOTT WENZLER EWENZLER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Douglas County Republican voters chose George Teal over Clint Dorris as the party’s candidate for the District 2 county commission seat in a race that saw accusations hurled back and forth by the candidates’ backers.

Unofficial results as of July 1 seat in the primary election that ended June 30 showed Teal with 53.6% of the vote and Dorris with 46.5%.

Teal Teal, a Castle Rock town council member, will go up against Democrat Lisa Neal-Graves in the November general election. The three will compete for the District 2 commissioner seat, currently held by Roger Partridge.

In unofficial primary results July 1, Republicans Teal and Dorris drew a combined 45,403 votes while Democrat Neal-Graves, who was unopposed, garnered 41,351 votes.

Dorris, who received about twothirds of the vote in the March 28 online Republican Party assembly, had been endorsed by Partridge.

District 2 encompasses southern and western Douglas County, includ-

ing Castle Rock, Castle Pines, Larkspur, Perry Park and Roxborough.

While commissioners on the three-member board represent different geographic areas, they are elected at-large, meaning registered voters from the entire county were eligible to vote in the District 2 race.

It was the only contested primary election for Douglas County commissioner. In District 3, Democrat Darien Wilson and Republican Lora Thomas ran unopposed and will face off in the November.

Teal, a software project manager and IT business consultant, has served on the Castle Rock town council since 2014. In his campaign for commissioner, he supported adopting a local version of the Taxpayers Bill of Rights (TABOR) and establishing Douglas County as a 2nd Amendment “sanctuary county” for gun rights.

Dorris, meanwhile, supported creating a 50-year water plan and eliminating any statute that “provides an unelected official or employee to override the decisions of elected officials,” he said in responses to a Colorado Community Media questionnaire.

Both candidates advocated forming a Douglas County health department separate from the county’s current affiliation with the TriCounty Health Department as well as making Douglas County a homerule county.

During the campaign, supporters of Dorris have accused Teal, a U.S. Army veteran, of lying about his

military record.

In a letter to Castle Rock Mayor Jason Gray dated May 19, David Stone, state commander of the Colorado chapter of Veterans of Foreign Wars, said Stone objected to Teal describing himself as “a veteran of Operation Desert Storm,” adding that Teal served in Germany during the operation. An email sent from the Veterans of Foreign Wars showing that it terminated Teal’s membership has circulated on social media.

Teal told Colorado Community Media in June that the accusations are a “smear campaign” that has been “blown out of proportion.”

Ryan Lynch, a spokesman for the Teal campaign, said the candidate has never lied about his military record.

“That is categorically unfounded,” Lynch said. “He’s never once said ‘I was in combat in Iraq.’ He does say he’s a veteran of Operation Desert Storm.”

Dorris said last month that the military accusation was an important part of the election because it calls into question his opponent’s honesty.

“It’s applicable here because if someone is lying to dishonor the military and themselves ... to elevate themselves, what does that say about them relative to running for county commissioner or being an elected official?” he said.

However, Dorris at the time calls Teal a friend and says he doesn’t see this election as being overly conten-

tious.

“This is small-ball pettiness,” he said.

A group called the Campaign Integrity Watchdog, whose director, Matt Arnold, is the designated filing agent for the Teal campaign, had filed two complaints against Dorris in the election, according to the state’s campaign records.

Both complaints claim that the Dorris campaign failed to include appropriate financial disclaimers on its website and in other materials. In the website complaint, the Elections Divisions of the Secretary of State’s Office recommended that it be dismissed.

In the second case, alleging that the Dorris campaign didn’t disclose the finances behind a packet of materials handed out to delegates, the Elections Division filed a complaint with the Colorado Office of Administrative Courts.

“They have filed frivolous claims against me,” Dorris said of the complaints.

The Teal campaign has had three penalties for late filings of major contributor reports.

Elected county officials who donated to the Dorris campaign include Sheriff Tony Spurlock, Undersheriff Holly Nicholson-Kluth and Renee Anderson, a Highlands Ranch Metro District director.

State Rep. Kim Ransom, R-Acres Green, along with county Treasurer Dave Gill and Parker Councilmember Jeff Toborg, donated to the Teal campaign.

The district statement said staff members are required to abide by mandatory reporting laws as part of district policy.

“Any report involving the wellbeing and safety of our students is taken seriously. Staff members who do not follow policy will be disciplined as needed, up to and including termination. Additional training may be required for staff members returning to work. In this instance, we proceeded in compliance with our policies,” the statement said.

The Douglas County Sheriff ’s Office opened and closed two investigations into the matter. The investigating detective did not recommend any criminal charges.

The first probe looked at what the reports describe as possible “sexual assault” and “unlawful sexual contact” among first-grade students at Sand Creek. The second investigation examined whether staff and administration broke the state’s mandatory reporting law, which is a criminal offense and class 3 misdemeanor.

That law requires school officials and employees, among others responsible for children, to immediately report to authorities any suspected child abuse or neglect.

School district policies say that employees “shall not contact the child’s family or any other persons to determine the cause of the suspected abuse or neglect.” Those policies also say that “it is not the responsibility of the school official or employee to prove that the child has been abused or neglected.”

The district provides mandatoryreporting training for employees and requires reporting when sexual abuse is suspected or alleged among minors.

Six Sand Creek administrators and staff members were placed on administrative leave during the investigation, according to the incident reports.

They were Principal Casey Whitehurst, Assistant Principal Melissa Reister, first-grade teachers Joanie Smith and Misty Durante, school psychologist Arrah Hall and instructional assistant Wendy Schriener, according to the incident reports.

‘Alarmingly’ young The sheriff ’s office reports show that about three days passed from the time school staff learned of potential misconduct at the school and when administrators reported the incidents.

In that time, administrators launched an internal investigation without the help of police or human services until lower-level staff urged them to alert authorities.

The principal allegedly advised his assistant principal against reporting the situation repeatedly, believing the school could handle the children’s behavior administratively, according to interviews and statements in the incident reports.

Assistant Principal Reister alleged in a statement reviewed by investigators that Principal Whitehurst had stated similar cases were handled internally at his previous school, Cimarron Middle School in Parker, where, according to the Sand Creek website, he served as assistant principal for four years.

The principal’s name, image and biography were removed from Sand Creek’s website in June.

Staff members told investigators

Sand Creek Elementary School in Highlands Ranch. they did not report the incidents because they did not think they knew enough about what happened, or once they did, they assumed administrators already made a report, according to the investigating detective’s reports.

The alleged incidents largely took place in school bathrooms, but also on the playground, according to interviews conducted by Reister with students and parents.

Children under the age of 10 are too young to face criminal charges, according to the incident reports.

Included in the reports was an email from Sand Creek School Resource Officer Vance Fleet to a DCSO sergeant in which he remarked that the children involved were “alarmingly” young.

“There seems to be one (redacted)year-old (redacted) student driving this behavior. (Redacted) came from (redacted) and it sounds like there were similar incidents that occurred there that were never disclosed to the school after (redacted) transferred,” Fleet wrote.

The sheriff ’s office did not conduct a criminal investigation into the children’s behavior because of their ages and instead assisted with a Douglas County Department of Human Services investigation, according to the incident reports.

Principal not interviewed The detective leading the “failure to report” investigation, Detective Kristen Tinsley, did not interview the principal or assistant principal before closing the case, she wrote.

An attorney for Reister, the assistant principal, would not permit her to speak with law enforcement, according to Tinsley’s report. But investigators said they did obtain a 15-page statement Reister authored, detailing how the school responded day-by-day after learning of the incidents.

Principal Whitehurst did not return the detective’s calls and the case was closed without his participation, Tinsley wrote.

A spokeswoman for the sheriff ’s office said Tinsley consulted with the district attorney’s office and Tinsley’s supervisors, ultimately deciding

against filing criminal charges “since she could not prove that the principal had any information that he neglected to report.”

The sheriff ’s spokeswoman said Whitehurst was not required to respond to Tinsley’s attempts to contact him.

Tinsley said in the incident report that Whitehurst’s handling of the matter was the most difficult to scrutinize under the mandatory reporting law, which states mandatory reporters can face criminal charges if they “willfully” fail to comply with the statute.

“This investigation resulted in a gray area when it came to the decision to charge Casey (Whitehurst).

I cannot ethically charge someone when I am not able to completely articulate the appropriateness of the charge,” Tinsley wrote.

She also said the children’s alleged behavior at school was “either consensual or non-criminal.” This meant that the statute defining abuse and neglect would not have been violated by any failure to report the situation because the children’s behavior was not “unlawful sexual behavior,” she wrote.

Tinsley concluded her investigation, saying she was uncertain whether Whitehurst’s belief that the school did not need to report the incidents met the standard of willfully failing to report suspected abuse or neglect.

“Without being able to speak to Casey (Whitehurst), I cannot articulate if he told (Reister) that the incident didn’t need to be reported because he mistakenly believed the kids’ young age made a difference in the need to report, or if he willfully violated the statute,” Tinsley wrote.

She did not recommend charging the assistant principal because of the pressure Reister felt from Whitehurst’s instructions, the detective wrote.

Tinsley did not recommend charges against other school staff members because they thought school administrators reported the situation, according to Tinsley’s report.

tus showed Whitehurst submitted his resignation notice on March 30 with a departure date of June 30. Whitehurst did not state his reason for resigning in the email beyond seeking other opportunities. He remained on leave through June, according to the district.

Whitehurst in March was named the principal of a middle school in Wisconsin Dells, Wisconsin, according to a report in the Wisconsin Dells Events newspaper. A native of nearby Reedsburg, according to the paper, Whitehurst was slated to start work with the Wisconsin Dells School District in July and to take the helm at Wisconsin Dells Middle School in September.

Reister, Smith, Durante, Hall and Schriener were back on active status as of June, according to the district.

‘Bigger than we thought’ According to interviews Tinsley conducted with the first-grade teachers, and emails included in the incident report, the school was first tipped off to the alleged incidents around noon on Feb. 17. A parent emailed Smith, the first-grade teacher, stating a student was asked to perform a sexual act at school.

Smith forwarded the complaint to the school administration, according to emails included in the incident reports. Whitehurst responded shortly before 8 p.m. on Feb. 17, saying “we will definitely look into the situation tomorrow.”

Durante, another first-grade teacher, said she helped Smith forward the parent’s email to administration at the school on Feb. 18, according to the incident report. She did not know details of the situation, she said in a March 6 interview with Tinsley, only that two students were suspended and no longer allowed to use the restroom alone.

Smith told law enforcement she knew the email was serious but she did not believe the physical act described in the parent’s email took place, Tinsley wrote.

internally investigating the allegations on Feb. 18 in order to compile an incident report and disciplinary plan, Reister’s statement said.

Reister’s 15-page account obtained by investigators said she felt uncomfortable doing this because of the students’ ages, but followed her superior’s instructions.

Between 9:30 a.m. and 10:30 a.m. on Feb. 18, Reister conducted several student interviews during which children informed her they had been asked to show private body parts and had engaged in inappropriate touching, according to her statement.

Some students reported that they complied with requests while others did not, according to Reister’s statement.

Reister was told that incidents occurred as far back as October and the most recent incident occurred roughly one week earlier, according to her statement.

Reister did not yet report her findings to law enforcement or child protective services, she said. At 10:35 a.m. on the 18th, according to her statement, she was leaving for a doctor’s appointment and ran into Whitehurst on her way out.

“I pulled him aside for a moment and told him this was bigger than we thought and shared my concerns.

I also informed him that there was touching, and I was getting uncomfortable interviewing or speaking with the students,” Reister’s statement said.

In a 1 p.m. meeting that day, Reister’s statement said, the principal instructed her to classify her incident report as “sexual misconduct,” which her statement said was a classification that did not require involving law enforcement. The principal did not believe they needed to contact authorities, she said.

“He said this is his warning and that if it occurs again, we will contact the police and go that route as (redacted) now knows better,” Reister’s statement said.

‘Broken hearted’ The afternoon of Feb. 18, Reister said she resumed interviewing students and identified two students she believed to be instigating the behavior among classmates, her statement said. By 3:45 p.m. that day, two students were placed initially on a one-day suspension.

Smith, the first-grade teacher, told investigators that Reister pulled students from class and eventually held a couple children in the office the remainder of the day, according to Tinsley’s report.

Smith “assumed that Casey and Melissa,” the principal and assistant principal, reported the incident because they were speaking to children, the incident report said. She never asked them if they made a report and did not think to report it herself because “she didn’t have all of the details,” the incident report said.

“She and Misty (Durante) were broken hearted to learn that four students had been involved and that not one of them came to a trusted adult to tell them what was going on,” the incident report said.

At the time of her March 2 interview with Tinsley, Smith said she still did not have the full story, Tinsley wrote.

The detective wrote in her reports that, “During our conversation, I told Joanie (Smith) that the incident was

reported to authorities on Thursday ians of a suspended student before (2/20/2020). Joanie immediately readmitting the student to school. started crying and said, ‘Thursday?’”

wrote in the incident report.

After reporting the incidents to Fleet and child protective services, Reister called Whitehurst, her statement said.

“I was terrified to tell him because I thought he was going to reprimand me for going over his head and doing what he told me not to do,” Reister said in her statement.

Whitehurst was not upset, she said, and said she was doing the right thing but he did not believe the incidents needed to be reported, according to her statement.

“He also said it happened back in November,” Reister’s statement said, but she corrected him, reminding him there were alleged incidents one week earlier and that she learned students intended to involve more children in the coming days.

“I told you that,” Reister said, according to her statement.

‘Try seeing the faces’ The day after Reister reported the incidents, the vice principal said she and Whitehurst continued debating if the child she suspected of instigating the behavior should be allowed back to school, her statement said.

Both first-grade teachers expressed concern about allowing the child back to class, her statement said.

Reister also fielded a call from a parent concerned about the suspended children returning to class, her statement said. Reister and Whitehurst agreed to ask Fleet’s advice, according to Reister’s statement.

Fleet agreed to research the issue and again reminded the administrators not to investigate or to speak with any students about the incidents and to immediately call him or police for assistance, Reister’s statement said.

Still that day, Reister and Whitehurst met with an individual who was upset that the school’s email to parents about the incidents was “vague” and “misdirected,” Reister’s statement said. “(Redacted) felt it downplayed what inappropriate behaviors were taking place in the first grade and didn’t address the real concerns for students,” Reister wrote.

After the meeting ended, Reister said Whitehurst remarked, “That was hard.” Reister responded by reminding him she had been “dealing with this alone all week.”

“Try seeing the faces of our firstgrade babies as I ask them if they feel safe and their expression viscerally changes and they say no because of a fear of (redacted) coming back,” Reister said, according to her statement.

On Feb. 23, several days after the school first learned of the incidents, Whitehurst told Reister that parents were calling for his immediate resignation, according to her statement.

As the two prepared for a meeting with parents, Whitehurst told her they needed to be strong, that they could not answer certain questions and they should not get emotional, according to her statement. He urged her to remain a “united front” and said they would “fight this battle together,” her statement said.

At 2:46 p.m. that day, Whitehurst called Reister about the meeting with parents, her statement said.

“I don’t know what to do. I am at a loss right now. Biggest thing is to document certain things outside of google docs,” Reister’s statement quoted Whitehurst as saying. “I don’t know why we didn’t call (the Department of Human Services). That is what I keep going back to in my mind.”

Fireworks shows in county canceled due to danger

BY ELLIOTT WENZLER EWENZLER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Three Douglas County fireworks shows planned for the Fourth of July were canceled two days ahead of time due to fire danger.

Douglas County Sheriff Tony Spurlock, who also serves as the county fire marshal, declared July 2 that the county was under Stage Two fire restrictions. This action barred the shows, slated to take place in Highlands Ranch, the Pinery and Castle Rock.

Almost every other major public fireworks display usually held across metro Denver had already been called off, largely because of the coronavirus pandemic.

Earlier, members of the BackCountry neighborhood in Highlands Ranch had exchanged emails with county

officials over the residents’ concerns about the planned Highlands Ranch fireworks display.

That neighborhood had been threatened June 29 when a 460-acre fire burned across unincorporated Douglas County, causing mandatory evacuations. BackCountry residents were required to leave their homes as the flames inched toward heir community.

While there ultimately were no structure damage or injuries, some area residents reported stress and anxiety around the planned July 4 event.

When Todd Varney, president of the BackCountry community’s homeowners association, heard that fireworks were planned to launch from Mountain Vista High School for the Fourth of July weekend, he and the other board members decided to take action.

In a letter to the board of county commissioners, the HOA asked them to delay the fireworks display.

“While we applaud your decision to help our county celebrate our independence, we don’t believe that this site is the best to keep our neighborhoods safe, especially with the thousands of acres of open space surrounding the high school site on 3 sides,” the letter said. “Our neighborhood is very concerned with fire danger, especially in light of recent events.”

Commissioner Lora Thomas responded in an email that was forwarded to the BackCountry community. In her response, she explained that a committee made up of South Metro Fire Rescue and Sheriff ’s Office personnel had researched conditions for fireworks.

“I’d like to also let you know how

prepared Douglas County is to fight a fire,” her response said. “When the fireworks are launched, there will be firefighters on scene. ... As in every professional display, a detailed plan is developed to ensure safety for all involved.”

Thomas added that one reason the commissioners wanted to hold the fireworks shows was because of the difficult times the community has recently seen.

“Our community has struggled through the COVID shutdowns since mid-March and the commissioners wanted to celebrate the freedoms established by the Declaration of Independence from July 4, 1776; to remind the residents that this is America and we will survive,” the email said, as confirmed by Thomas.

SEE FIREWORKS, P27

A booming July 4 was a bust for firefighters Do-it-yourself fireworks displays — many illegal — kept crews busy STAFF REPORT

The Independence Day fireworks celebrations around metro Denver were loud and boisterous -- many of them illegal -- and they kept local firefighters occupied through the

night.

After months of being cooped up

by COVID-19 restrictions, and with major public fireworks displays canceled, people across the region let loose with a barrage of do-ityourself July 4 rockets and noisemakers.

“This is what we feared, warned the community about and up-staffed 5 extra fire engines for,” South Metro Fire Rescue tweeted late July 4.

“Multiple fires are occurring across the South Metro area right now.”

The SBDC is VIRTUAL

The morning of July 5, the agency released this tally of calls it had received since early the day before: • 8 brush fires • 6 outside fires • 5 illegal burns • 4 outside smoke investigations • 4 dumpster fires • 1 garage fire • 1 house fire “We’ve had eight fires caused by fireworks tonight,” Lakewood-based West Metro Fire Rescue chimed in late July 4. “ ... West Metro geared up for the 4th of July, putting more resources on duty, in case something like this would happen. Please celebrate safely.”

West Metro later told KUSA9News that about a dozen fires in its territory were linked to fireworks, including fires in grass, dumpsters and on a fence.

“We understand the frustration many of our community members

are experiencing tonight due to use of illegal fireworks,” Aurora Fire Rescue tweeted July 4.

The Douglas County Sheriff ’s Office on July 4 pleaded with area residents on Twitter to “not call our dispatch center to report hearing fireworks. The call center is getting overrun with these calls.” It said people could call 911 to report actual fires.

Aerial views from a helicopter flown by Denver TV stations showed constant bursts of fireworks across the city that night.

In most areas of metro Denver, home fireworks displays were illegal July 4, either under existing permanent local ordinances in places like Centennial, Lakewood and Littleton or under temporary countywide fire restrictions. Unincorporated Arapahoe, Douglas and Jefferson County were all under a fire ban prohibiting fireworks use.

Big win for Padden in Democratic race for 18th District DA She’ll face unopposed Republican Kellner in race to succeed George Brauchler

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Democrat Amy Padden will face off against Republican John Kellner in the November election for 18th Judicial District attorney after Padden glided to a win in the party primary that ended June 30.

In unofficial results the morning of July Padden 1, Padden led Democratic opponent Matt Maillaro by nearly 2.5-to-1 margin, 71.2% to 28.8% Padden enjoyed a wide lead in all four counties of the judicial district: Arapahoe, Douglas, Elbert and Lincoln.

Padden declared victory and released a statement shortly after 9:30 p.m. on June 30.

“I am honored and humbled that the people of the 18th Judicial District supported my vision for a more just district attorney’s office,” Padden said. “It is important that we have a true progressive to reform the office from the regressive state George Brauchler has put it in,

‘It is important that we have a true progressive to reform the office from the regressive state George Brauchler has put it in, and I am thrilled that the voters of the four counties of the 18th Judicial District decided I am the right woman for that job.’

She called racial inequalities the most pressing issue facing the 18th Judicial District.

Padden snagged endorsements from elected officials including U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vermont; U.S. Rep. Ed Perlmutter, D-Colorado; Colorado state Sens. Julie Gonzales and Jeff Bridges; and Denver School Board Director Tay Anderson.

Maillaro, the assistant district attorney in the 18th District, has worked as a prosecutor for 22 years.

Endorsed by state Sen. Rhonda Fields, former Gov. Bill Ritter and Arapahoe County Sheriff Tyler Brown, among others, Maillaro had promised a focus on community engagement if elected.

He built a platform on bolstering resources for crime victims, expanding diversion and restorative justice programs and hiring a more diverse team within the district.

Maillaro said he believed addressing the juvenile justice system and steering children toward diversion programs was one of the most important issues facing the district.

Padden will now prepare to square off with Kellner in the November general election.

Kellner served active duty in the Marine Corps before forging a fulltime career in law as a prosecutor.

In 2012, Brauchler tapped Kellner to help start a cold case unit in the 18th Judicial District. Today he supervises prosecution in Douglas, Elbert and Lincoln counties and remains in the Marine Corps Reserve.

hen the Federal Reserve lowers interest rates, it provides an exciting opportunity for those looking to buy real estate. But what about seniors who are happy in their homes?

Killer gets life sentence in case from 1980 Slaying of Helene Pruszynski left her loved ones with pain for decades

p i

m w e w i l a f

BY ELLIOTT WENZLER EWENZLER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

It has been 40 years since Helene Pruszynski was killed, but for her family and friends, it might as well have been yesterday.

That was the theme of a July 1 sentencing for the man who pleaded guilty to raping and killing the young woman.

Pruszynski was kidnapped Jan. 16, 1980 after getting off an RTD bus in Englewood. The 21-year-old had recently traveled to Colorado from Massachusetts for an internship with KHOW radio. She had dreams of becoming a journalist. The morning after her disappearance, she was found dead in a field in Douglas County.

Deputies from the Douglas County Sheriff ’s Office arrested James Curtis Clanton, 62, in December of last year after cracking the case using genetic genealogy. After he was arrested, he admitted to the crime and pleaded guilty in February.

On July 1, he was sentenced by Douglas County District Court Judge Theresa Slade to life in prison. He has a chance to receive parole after serving at least 20 years, she said.

During the hearing, Pruszynski’s loved ones spoke about the impact the crime had on their lives.

While some of Pruszynski’s loved ones were able to travel to Colorado for the sentencing, the hearing was

conducted virtually due to precautions around the COVID-19 pandemic.

About 80 people joined the virtual courtroom and 13 people testified during the hearing.

“She was deprived of all she may have accomplished. The world was deprived of what she would have

person who killed my beautiful friend is finally being brought to justice.”

Many of the testimonies included memories of Helene — her smile, warmth, kindness and the sense of ease that she provided to all who met with her. While every person testifying expressed a deep pain felt from losing Pruszynski, many also spoke about the love and light they still feel from having met her.

“While my heart was broken on the day I heard of Helene’s death and again when I heard the person who took her away from us was captured,” said Rosemarie Bruno, a friend of Pruszynski’s from college, “in the cracks of my broken heart there are bright rays of light and love and joy from Helene that illuminate these spaces of my heart.”

At some points, those testifying spoke directly to or about Clanton.

“For the convicted murderer sitting in his jail cell today, for overpowering and brutally taking the life of a gorgeous, innocent … woman, a very different fate awaits his soul,” said Mike Johnson, a high school friend of Pruszynski’s. “After he eventually dies, instead of being lifted to heaven, he will descend to hell ... good luck with that.”

Throughout the hearing, Clanton frequently wiped away tears, put his face in his hands and showed other signs of emotion. He chose not to speak during the sentencing and instead his lawyer, Daniel Cunny, made a brief statement on his behalf.

“As the years have passed, the sense of remorse Mr. Clanton feels for his

Cunny said. “Mr. Clanton wants Ms. Pruszynski’s family ... to know that he’s sorry, but those words are probably meaningless based on the pain that he caused.”

After hearing the testimonies, Slade gave her sentence and accompanying remarks.

“There’s absolutely no way you can understand or comprehend the pain that has been expressed today,” she

said to Clanton. “But I do believe that you are sincere in your regret.”

The judge encouraged Clanton to take his life into his own hands and take any chance possible to do good and be a better person.

“It doesn’t matter that this happened 40 years ago other than the fact that, Mr. Clanton, you did get some form of a life,” she said. “It seems unjust ... what you do with the rest of your life, there are opportunities for rehabilitation.”

She echoed a poem, written by Pruszynski, that a friend of the

young woman’s had read during testimony. “`Let us live today with every hopeful promise of tomorrow,’” she said.

“It seems to me, that the way you all have described (Helene) that if she were able to join us today, in spite of what happened to her, she would probably, Mr. Clanton, still be giving you that message.”

In interviews following the hearing, Pruszynski’s family and friends who traveled to Colorado expressed relief at having finished the hearing.

“We’re just so appreciative of everything. It’s been 40 years and they didn’t give up,” said friend Kitsey Snow, about investigators. “Justice would be Helene being here, so it doesn’t even feel like justice. But I’m glad that he is away and not going to hurt anybody else.”

Colorado closes bars, nightclubs after young crowds spread virus Some counties get more relaxed phase of social distancing

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Just 12 days after Colorado allowed bars and nightclubs to open in-person service statewide, a concerning uptick in COVID-19 cases fueled by young Coloradans forced state officials to pump the brakes and close drinking establishments again.

“Our uptick, like the major spikes in other states, is largely among the younger demographic,” Gov. Jared Polis said at a June 30 news conference. “I think it is partially attributable the bars and nightclubs and also potentially to the large public gatherings and the protest movements that we’ve seen outside.

Those are two factors we’ve had in our state.”

While Colorado was “one of the first states to successfully transition” out of the stay-at-home phase of coronavirus restrictions into a “safer at home” phase with more economic activity — and, so far, has been spared the type of severe COVID-19 increases seen in nearby states — Colorado’s rate of new cases has risen for the last two weeks, Polis said.

“We’ve lost over 1,500 people to this. This virus would take another 1,500 from us in a heartbeat if we let up, or more,” Polis said, also noting direr spread of the virus could mean

Arizona have pointed to bars and nightclubs as a major source of their outbreaks, Polis said. Arizona moved to close bars, nightclubs, movie theaters and gyms on June 29, and Polis announced Colorado is closing its bars and nightclubs too.

Polis signaled Colorado could consider returning to similar closures of places such as gyms, pools and movie theaters if the virus’ spread isn’t stemmed.

One of public health officials’ goals is to prevent having to return to stay-at-home orders — a possibility state officials have repeatedly acknowledged.

Not all bars closed On June 18, the state announced bars could open at 25% of the posted occupancy limit or 50 patrons, whichever is less. That change also included many other drinking establishments, such as breweries, distillery pubs and clubs.

Under the new closure — effective July 1 — some bars that operate similar to restaurants may continue in-person service as long as patrons remain with their party, spaced 6 feet apart with no mingling, according to a news release from the governor’s office.

That’s an update to Colorado’s safer-at-home order — the state’s current set of social distancing rules — which is extended until July 30.

Those bars that function with a full-service kitchen or provide food from a licensed retail food establishment, such as a neighboring restaurant or food truck, were able to open along with restaurants as of May 27, according to a state fact sheet.

All bars still are permitted to sell alcoholic beverages for takeout or delivery if the beverages are sold with food, and they still can operate SEE VIRUS, P17

Lone Tree Arts Center to reopen soon First concert since shutdown set for July 24

BY NICK PUCKETT NPUCKETT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

As the Lone Tree Arts Center nears the traditional start of its fall programming, Director Lisa Rigsby Peterson finally has the answer to the question on her mind since March 15: What is to become of the center’s 202021 season?

“We are planning for our 20-21 season because if we don’t have a plan, we’re not going to be able to move forward,” Peterson said.

The Lone Tree Arts Center will reopen its doors and begin hosting live performances once again, with the first concert since March scheduled for July 24. The State of Colorado approved a Douglas County variance request June 26, allowing theaters to reopen and permitting indoor and outdoor events under certain guidelines.

The Lone Tree Arts Center will host a Tunes on the Terrace concert July 24, its first live performance since the start of statewide shutdown orders.

Tickets go on sale July 8. The arts center has little more than 100 tickets available, and officials believe they will go quickly. The arts center will host concerts through early September.

“Our goal is to unite those audiences and performers in the magic that only happens when we are together and to do it as safely and enthusiastically as possible,” Peterson said.

The Lone Tree Arts Center is reopening its doors, with its first concert since March scheduled for July 24.

NICK PUCKETT Arts center officials have established protocol for patrons, staff and guests to follow to maintain safety. The center’s 484-seat main stage theater will seat 120 people to accommodate social distancing.

The arts center officials surveyed patrons about what would make them feel safe returning to the Lone Tree Arts Center. Overwhelmingly, Peterson said, people wanted others to wear masks and practice social distancing.

Some national and international touring artists have canceled their appearances due to concerns about the novel coronavirus. As a result, Pe-

terson said, the arts center is emphasizing shows with homegrown talent.

The adjustment gives local performers an audience, provides more flexibility for last-minute changes and helps protects everybody from potential spread of the virus, Peterson said.

“We do have touring performers that we’ve confirmed are ready, willing and able to come back,” Peterson said.

“We want to make sure we are aware of what’s happening from a health perspective.”

The Lone Tree Arts Center postponed 18 shows since March 15. The loss of shows and rental activities has

contributed to a significant revenue drop. To make up for the decline, the center launched a fundraising program in anticipation of holding more consistent shows.

“No one is unaffected by the COVID pandemic. In this time, even though our doors have been closed, we have been working around the clock to plan for what can happen when we can reopen,” said Michelle Sosa-Mallory, director of corporate and foundation giving for the Lone Tree Arts Center.

“The need is really pretty pressing now so that we can continue to build on the successes we had in the past, and, as we reopen, continue to be the arts center that has become the center of the community.”

Peterson and Sosa-Mallory lead the “Set the Stage” fundraiser with the goal of $180,000. Community leaders and business partners have raised more than two-thirds of that goal already.

“This is the community’s asset and it’s an asset to Lone Tree and the South Metro area” as well, Sosa Mallory said.

The arts center generated about $4.1 million to the local economy, officials said. To keep the pace the facility started in 2010, the arts center needs individual support. The arts center receives funding through grants, ticket sales and rentals.

“Since we are able to start back up again, that need for the support from the community as people are able is even more important because we want to be able to climb back to the heights we’ve reached in the past,” Peterson said. “We can’t do it ourselves.”

rom 6 p.m. to 11 p.m. on July 4, my neighborhood sounded like Hell. I was Clint Eastwood mad and helpless.

I expected the worst because for QUIET weeks before the DESPERATION Fourth there were nightly fireworks all over metro Denver. The Denver Post reported, “From June 15 through June 21, the city fielded 750 firework calls, with June 21 alone prompting 317 Craig Marshall calls, according to Smith the Denver Police Department.”

Was the scale of illegal celebration larger this year because of a pent-up frustration with current events that include: a stay-at-home order, a safe-at-home-order, the protests and riots, failures of our leadership, and the cancellation

of games and events and performances? Or just the expression of outright rudeness that we’re so good at in America?

Take your pick.

CBS Denver reported, “The constant fireworks shown in the Copter4 video appear to be professional-grade fireworks. The helicopter crew said they had never seen anything like it.”

Oh, and, “Illegal fireworks are to blame for several fires around the Denver metro area.”

South Metro Fire Rescue tweeted, “This is what we feared, warned the community about and up-staffed 5 extra fire engines for.”

The Douglas County Sheriff ’s office tweeted, “Please do not call our dispatch center to report hearing fireworks. The call center is getting overrun with these calls.”

I’m not surprised, and no one else should be either. We’re a smug lot, we are.

The phrase “We’re in this together” was conceived in outer space.

We’re not in anything “together.”

The Fourth of July is always a good excuse to let off steam; there’s just more steam this year than usual. “Letting off steam” translates into, “I, me, mine. I, me, mine.”

During the evening, I heard from readers. One wanted to remain anonymous because the “main person” involved in what he estimated to be a $10,000 professional-grade fireworks display “seems to be a violent person.”

Another reader wrote, “This is terrible.”

Another, “Kona and Watson (her dogs) are running from room to room at this very moment.”

Another, “Times like this I wish I lived somewhere else.”

Another, “It’s like a war zone here.”

Harry and I made a quick trip to the store. On the way home I had to enter the wrong lane of a street that was swarming with kids who were setting off fireworks.

It’s reprehensible when someone imposes their will on someone else.

I think we could possibly agree on that. Maybe not even that.

How would you like it if I mowed my lawn at midnight?

Or woke the hood at 5 a.m. with a blaring rendition of the “1812 Overture”? You know? The full one with cannons?

I wouldn’t do it because I respect people who don’t disrespect people, and there were some in my community.

It’s only once a year? No. There will be more today and tomorrow, and disrespect will show itself in other forms, like the teenagers I see who can’t be bothered with masks.

Just not cool, I guess.

People love to hear a good, positive story

ome of us like to tell a good story, some enjoy hearing a good story, and some of us appreciate both. And although there are a few people who seem to derive pleasure from a bad or negative story, I would say most people prefer a good story, maybe WINNING even a great story.

WORDS Every story usually has at least one primary theme and could also include a few subplots. Each story will have a central character and typically some supporting characters. Almost all great stories bring Michael Norton us on an adventure as we retell our own story or as we listen intently to the person sharing their own story. And isn’t it true that sometimes stories tend to get better each time we tell it? Well, maybe not better, but sometimes built up a little bit bigger or exaggerated slightly.

Are we more interested in telling our own tales? If the answer is yes, does that mean we may not be taking enough interest when others are sharing their story? A good storyteller is someone who can also listen and learn from the stories of others.

Good or great stories could be about something near and dear to our hearts as we reminisce about our memories of the people we have met or the places we have been. An inspirational story about achievement or overcoming an obstacle or challenge to accomplish a goal or fulfill a dream always makes for a good story too. For me, there is nothing like the comeback story. Whether it is a person or team competing and coming from behind to win, or an individual making a comeback after an injury or accident. As I listen to the story of work ethic and effort that they put into their recovery, I cannot help but become motivated by their discipline, determination, grit, and resiliency.

Hearing stories told by our grandparents, aunts and uncles, and longtime friends of the family can be amazing as we listen to tales of the past. Especially as seen from their eyes and what they may have experienced firsthand. All those victories and defeats, near misses, good times, bad times, hardships and opportunities, and all the laughs and tears along the way. Each in their own way makes for a good story.

My own grandfather was a fantastic storyteller. He captivated every-

We need to vote in legislators that are not afraid to dive into these gun bills and make good laws out of them. We need candidates like Ike McCorkle who has real experience with guns through his military training. We need to vote out Ken Buck who hides under the prop AR15 in his office while voting against bills that real Colorado gun owners support. Ike can make sure that the gun safety bills that get passed in Washington are both reasonable and effective by engaging with other lawmakers to provide real-world facts and evidence-based data. Ike, a combat-wounded veteran, will represent us in Congress instead of running away from the fight and letting other legislators shape the future of gun safety laws.

He had this knack for maintaining a little mystery and creating suspense with each tale told and with every punchline waiting to be delivered.

This is important because there is still much life to be lived. We will have mystery and suspense because we do not know what the future holds. The story we will share with others tomorrow will be different than the story we might have told today. New stories are being written each day. The narrative is being written by all of us as we continue to live our lives. We get to add to our stories based on what we strive to accomplish, through life’s journey, and by the people we meet along the way.

survive, but our health-care workers remain hard hit. In April, more than 1.4 million lost their jobs. While many health-care workers have been on the front lines in the fight against the pandemic, many other doctors and nurses have struggled to make ends meet. Elective procedures and treatments have been postponed and canceled, drying up revenue.

Now, Congress is threatening to hit our doctors and nurses with a financial double whammy: some proponents of government-run health care propose to “fix” a real problem — surprise medical bills, which can be financially devastating when a patient unknowingly obtains care out-of-network — with price controls (rate-fixing) on medical providers.

Congress needs to say no. Surprise medical billing is a real problem, but rate-fixing is no way to fix the problem.

Rate-fixing forces medical providers to perform treatments and procedures at arbitrary prices set by bureaucrats, typically well below market rates. It’s big government at its worst. Alternatives exist. Several states have successfully experimented with independent dispute resolu-

Statue was part of Colorado’s story Meet my great-grandfather, John Dare Howland, designer of the Civil War statue that stood near Colorado’s Capitol.

“Jack” Howland, was born in Zanesville, Ohio, in 1843, son of an Ohio riverboat captain, descendant of ancestors who arrived on the Mayflower. Tiring of the river, he left home at age 14, with 87 cents in his pocket. He worked his way west on riverboats to Fort Laramie, where he began living with the Sioux Indians, adopting their way of life.

His childhood love of drawing and painting allowed him to capture animals and hunting scenes, as well as the faces of American Indians, sketched from memory as they would never pose for a portrait.

At age 18, having failed at gold mining, Jack enlisted in Company B, 1st Regiment Calvary of Colorado Volunteers, serving in the Civil War. Discharged in 1864, he went to Washington, D.C., to continue his artistic career, and on to Paris, returning to be part of the Indian Peace Commission.

“Captain Jack” Howland became a respected artist in Denver, known for his many services to Colorado and for designing “On Guard,” the Civil War statue. He was described as “honorable, fearless yet considerate, one of the oldest pioneers, a scout over the plains before Colorado was known, a grand Army man, a good citizen, a celebrated artist, a family man, respected by all and loved by many.”

Now part of his story, part of Colorado’s story, is gone — and I am sad.

Linda R. Hindley Arvada Editor’s note: The statue was pulled down June 25.

And it makes me think of the Steven Spielberg quote, “The most amazing thing for me is that every single person who sees a movie, not necessarily one of my movies, brings a whole set of unique experiences, but through careful manipulation and good storytelling, you can get everybody to clap at the same time, to hopefully laugh at the same time, and to be afraid at the same time.”

How about you? Do you love a good story? Maybe even a great story? Do you prefer to tell the story or hear the story?

Rate-fixing is always bad economics, but it is particularly injurious at a time when our health-care workers most deserve our support and when many of them are struggling to keep their operations afloat.

Colorado’s congressional delegation, particularly Sens. Michael Bennet and Cory Gardner, should lead the way toward a market-oriented solution to the surprise medical billing problem.

SSPRD has purchased some works over the years but this program also offers art for the many visitors to its facilities to enjoy. (Two additional works were SONYA’S recently installed SAMPLER at Hudson Gardens in Littleton for a year.) At Goodson Recreation Center, 6315 S.

Gallery marks anniversary with online exhibition Event is not part of festival this year

BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Artists at Depot Art Gallery in Littleton are celebrating a 58th anniversary without the usual happy, crowded opening reception, which, at this time of year is ordinarily part of Western Welcome Week.

For this summer, the little red gallery will forgo its usual WWW show at its Powers Avenue home and run a collection of works by members online.

From current wording on the website at depotartgallery.org, we gather that the gallery will not reopen until 2021.

We look forward to re-entering this local historic gem, which was the railroad station built in 1888 for the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway. (Not to be confused with the historic stone and wood depot that serves as the Downtown Littleton Light Rail Station, after once serving the Denver & Rio Grande Railroad.)

Both were busy establishments, transferring milk cans for many area dairy farms into Denver creameries daily, as well as other freight and a number of commuters. The commuters are clearly still with us, but dairy cows, not so much!

There were also creameries in Littleton — dairy farming was a big business in Arapahoe and Douglas counties. Former Littleton Independent publisher Ed Bemis worked in Littleton creameries as a young man

and lived on a farm south of the old county courthouse, which is now Littleton’s Municipal Court.

Also on the Depot grounds is an 1880s caboose, which serves as an additional gallery. It was donated by a previous member.

The Littleton Fine Arts Guild was founded in 1962 by 10 women who loved to paint. It first met in the Grange Hall that stood at the corner of Orchard Road and University Boulevard and members kept an eye out for a more permanent location.

In 1976, the nation celebrated its Bicentennial, and some history-related grant money, plus donations by local supporters, was obtained to move and renovate the building with elbow grease and affection. It had stood unused in Bega Park. Local supporter and sculptor Varian Ashbaugh moved the building to its present location and

LFAG members went to work, aided by their families in many cases, scrubbing and painting, and waxing, plus installing wiring and plumbing.

Described as “a wooden frame, vernacular building, ‘Railroad Style,’ with wood board and batten structure,” the building opened in 1978, ready to exhibit works by guild members and other artists. It is a designated historic site.

The gabled roof and overhanging eves sheltered passengers from rain and snow. Most windows are original, according to the guild’s website — an important feature to historic preservationists.

The guild now numbers about 60 and includes photographers as well as painters and a few sculptors — and new members are welcomed. See information on the website at depotartgallery.org. In a normal year, members would hang new exhibits every month or two, in a calendar with themes announced each year. Most exhibits are juried by a visiting area arts professional.

Enjoy the online 58th Anniversary Exhibit by Littleton Fine Arts members and celebrate the historic buildings, which would have many stories to tell if they could speak! To view, go to depotartgallery.org.

Football coach looks at past for future ThunderRidge’s Nisenson remembers spirit of his days playing for Grizzlies

BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Doug Nisenson is a former football player at ThunderRidge High School and he’s now the head football coach for the Grizzlies.

ThunderRidge won two Class 4A state football championships in 2004 and 2005 when Nisenson played, and the Grizzlies captured three titles in six years starting in 2000.

Nisenson became the ThunderRidge head coach in 2017 and he wanted to re-create an atmosphere that existed when he played for the Grizzlies.

“One of the things I’m most proud of in three years is the mentality side,” said Nisenson. “When I played here it was always about us. It was about what we were going to go do. A couple years before I took over here it started to turn the other way. We started to worry about winning.

“Over the years our kids have sort of rebuilt the culture around how we work and how we practice and the importance of our attitude while we do that. In terms of comparing it to back then, we’re not as big as we were when I played and we look different in terms of what we do offensively and defen-

ThunderRidge football coach Doug Nisenson says this year’s team will have 10 full-time starters from last year, with youth at receivers and quarterback.

ThunderRidge football coach Doug Nisenson is most proud of the mentality his team has developed over the past three seasons.

I missed the most. Part of it is the mindset that we`re going to fight you

till the end and we’ve rebuilt that.”

Nisenson hasn’t had much of a chance to mentor any of his players because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

“It’s been an interesting summer,” said Nisenson. “Our district shut us down to July 1 and then since backed that off to June 22. The restrictions were tough but we were actually able to get our kids organized into some private trainers.

“The kids were training on their own, which is different, since we had not had any contact with them expect for Zoom meetings. It’s better than sitting out and doing nothing.”

if they’re open under a county “variance,” a waiver from the state’s social distancing restrictions. Numerous counties across Colorado have been granted variances in different forms.

The safer-at-home order refers to bars, taverns, brew pubs, breweries, microbreweries, distillery pubs, wineries, tasting rooms, special licensees, clubs and other establishments that offer alcoholic beverages for on-site drinking as “bars.”

‘Protect our neighbors’ outlined In mid-June, Polis announced details of the state’s third phase of social distancing, which the state dubbed “protect our neighbors.” Officials on June 30 more clearly outlined what it will look like.

Counties or regions of the state with low enough COVID-19 spread and robust enough ability to quash outbreaks will soon be able to allow all activities at 50% of pre-pandemic capacity, with at least 6 feet between non-household members and no more than 500 people in one setting at a time, according to state officials.

Starting the week of July 6, counties can request to qualify for the new phase. Areas will need to meet the following criteria: • Low disease-transmission levels,

However, the early work the team did was fundamental.

“All we were cleared to do is work out outside only and with no footballs involved,” explained Nisenson. “So basically you are taking about speed, agility and footwork. It was one of those things where kids were back out and able to do those things.”

If the season is played, Nisenson has positive hopes for the Grizzlies.

“I do feel football season will be played whether it’s pushed back, shortened or played in the spring,” he said. “It stands like the intention is to play it in the fall and I hold out hope that is going to stand.”

And Nisenson says ThunderRidge

including stable or declining COVID-19 hospitalizations or fewer new cases in the past two weeks.

• Local public-health agency capacity for COVID-19 testing, contact tracing and outbreak response, including the ability to test 15 people per 10,000 residents per day, the ability to conduct contact tracing for at least 85% of assigned cases within 24 hours and strategies to offer testing to close contacts of outbreak-associated cases.

• Hospital ability to meet the needs of all patients and to handle the surge in demand for intensive hospital care, including capacity to manage a 20% surge in hospital admissions and patient transfers, and two weeks of personal protective equipment available.

Counties or regions also will need to create a “mitigation plan,” state epidemiologist Rachel Herlihy said at Polis’ June 30 news conference.

That plan would list how counties will promote public compliance with social distancing guidelines, increase mask-wearing in public settings and increase flu vaccine uptake to ensure Colorado doesn’t lose health-care system capacity needed for COVID-19 patients.

The plans must be approved by local elected officials — including county commissioners and mayors — and hospitals that serve the county, law enforcement, emergency management officials, local public health directors and, if applicable, tribes, according to the news conference slideshow.

will have an interesting team this season.

“I feel pretty good about our team this year,” he admitted. “We’re going to be a team of a lot of experience and also a lot of new players. We’re bringing back 10 full-time starters and 12 that started at least two games and another kid that started a game.

We are young at receivers and quarterback.

“I hate the time we’ve lost because of the youth at some of our positions but I really feel good about our line. We haven’t returned this much experience on our line, offensive or defensive, in a lot of years. We have a stable of running backs and you’re going to see us use a lot more running backs. We have a lot of good experience on defense in the secondary and linebacker position. It all depends on how fast we can learn.”

CONCERNING THE ABANDONMENT LIST OF WATER RIGHTS IN DOUGLAS COUNTY

The Division Engineer, in accordance with §37-92-401, Colorado Revised Statutes (2019), has compiled the list of absolute water rights that he or she “has determined to have been abandoned in whole or in part and which previously have not been adjudged to have been abandoned.”

A complete list of water rights that have been abandoned, in the opinion of the Division Engineer, may be found on the Division of Water Resources (DWR) website https://www.colorado.gov/water.

If you wish to object to the inclusion of any water right on the Division Engineer’s abandonment list, you must file a written statement of objection with the Division Engineer by July 1, 2021. We request that objections be submitted using DWR’s Abandonment Objection Form, which can be obtained on the DWR website (search keyword “Abandonment 2020”) or from any DWR office.

The Abandonment List, with any revisions made as a result of written statements of objection, will be filed with the Water Court by December 31, 2021. Once the list is adjudged by the entry of a decree by the Water Court, such decree will be conclusive as to the abandonment of the water right.

In the following table, U indicates units of either C=cfs or A=acre-ft. The uses being abandoned are either 'All Uses' indicating all decreed uses of the water right, or the individual uses listed, such as Irr=Irrigation. If any aspect of the decreed place of use is being abandoned, that is indicated by 'Yes' in the Place column.

Court backs ban on high-capacity gun magazines FIREWORKS Rocky Mountain Gun Owners said the law violates the state constitution

BY JESSE PAUL THE COLORADO SUN

The Colorado Supreme Court has upheld the state’s seven-year-old ban on gun magazines that hold more than 15 rounds of ammunition.

Rocky Mountain Gun Owners, a hard-line gun rights organization based in Colorado, challenged the large-capacity magazine law, arguing that it violates the state constitution.

Specifically, the organization contended that the law goes against a clause that gives people the right to be armed to defend their homes, property and themselves.

The Colorado Supreme Court, however, disagreed in a 45-page decision issued June 27.

Justice Monica M. Márquez, in writing the court’s opinion, said the ban is “a reasonable exercise of the police power that has neither the

purpose nor effect of nullifying the right to bear arms in self-defense.”

Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser, whose office defended the law, praised the decision.

“The large-capacity magazine law will decrease the deadly impacts of mass shootings by reducing the number of people who will be shot during a mass shooting incident, and it will save lives,” the Democrat said in a written statement. “It also honors Coloradans’ right to bear arms for personal defense. Today’s ruling is a win for public safety and for the rule of law.”

The law was passed a year after the 2012 Aurora theater shooting, which left 12 people dead and dozens more wounded. The gunman in that attack used a 100-round magazine.

The policy was part of a package of bills passed in 2013 and signed into law by then-Gov. John Hickenlooper, including legislation requiring a background check for every gun purchase in Colorado.

The ban on large-capacity magazines was likely the most controversial part of the package. The legislation prompted a magazine

manufacturer, Magpul, to relocate its facilities out of the state. Two Democratic state senators were also recalled in the wake of the bill’s passage and a third resigned to avoid a recall.

Also, in June 2014, Hickenlooper met with Colorado’s county sheriffs and couched his support for the legislation in remarks that led to a political fiasco.

“One of my staff had committed us to signing it,” he told the sheriffs.

Hickenlooper now talks about the legislation passed in 2013 as part of his bid to become a U.S. senator.

Rocky Mountain Gun Owners has challenged other gun-control measures in Colorado in court.

In 2020, the Colorado legislature passed a so-called red flag law, which allows for judges to order the seizure of firearms from people they deem an imminent threat to themselves or others because of mental health issues.

Rocky Mountain Gun Owners sued, challenging the process by which the law made its way through the legislature, but a Denver judge dismissed the case in May.

BackCountry resident Beverly Fields was one of the people alerted to the evacuation order June 29 when the wildfire threatened her neighborhood.

“It’s very disturbing and scary. You’re just not sure when you’re told to evacuate. ... Am I going to have a home when I come back?” she said.

When she learned that the county was planning a fireworks display at nearby Mountain Vista, Fields said she and other residents reached out to the county individually to express their concerns.

“They listened but their attitude was, we’re still going to go ahead,” Fields said. “I don’t understand how anyone felt this was a good idea. It just didn’t make sense.”

Thomas said she had heard from many residents who wanted the show canceled, but also from community members who wanted to see the display.

“We were letting the sheriff do his job,” she said. “It’s just important for them to know that we were listening, but we were listening to all of them.”

Commissioners plan to discuss when to reschedule fireworks shows in the future.

CUTS FROM PAGE 1

the Douglas County School District from the 2019-20 school year. That equates to a $29.9 million revenue loss for the entire district. Some of that loss passes through to charter schools, according to the budget.

The district expects further reductions to the School Finance Act midyear and will maintain $26 million in unassigned reserves to weather that projected revenue loss.

Doan outlined that cuts will be instituted at the school level based on a weighted formula — taking into account factors like a school’s percentage of free and reduced lunch pupils, gifted learners and English Language Learners — in an effort to protect atrisk students.

Staff will take two days of furlough and central administrators will take five days of furlough. Salaries are frozen at the 2019-20 school year level for those staying in their current positions.

In stimulus funds, the district will receive $1.3 million from the CARES Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief fund, $27 million from the Coronavirus Relief Fund and an undetermined amount from the Governor’s Emergency Education Relief fund.

The district planned to spend the $27 million on resources like professional development, personal protective equipment and technology as of June 23.

“We still have some things to celebrate. That one, we have a balanced budget,” Tucker said. “Two, we are not tapping into unassigned reserves.

Thomas Tucker, the superintendent of the Douglas County School District, addresses the Mountain Vista High School graduating class on June 26.

ELLIOTT WENZLER That’s going to bode well for us into the future. Third, we’re only asking our buildings to shoulder roughly 11% of the cuts.”

Directors painstakingly debated how to make the millions in cuts in weeks leading up to budget adoption time, taking board meetings late into the nights and on one occasion into the early morning hours of the next day.

Initial projections in May placed the budget shortfall anywhere between $30 million and $60 million. By a June 9 update, Doan said outlooks improved

and the district could more confidently estimate the deficit around $31 million.

Following a May 26 presentation on potential cuts, board members sent district staff back to the drawing board with instructions to focus more of the burden at the district level and less on high-risk or vulnerable students.

Staff had also proposed cuts to special programming, including the international baccalaureate program.

That suggestion sparked concern from International Baccalaureate students

who started a petition urging directors avoid cuts there. Staff removed that suggestion by June 9 and, by the final presentation on June 23, Tucker said staff was not recommending any special programming cuts.

Director Krista Holtzmann said she believed the district had “unified around the needs of students” through the final version of the budget.

“It does my heart well to listen to this presentation and see reflections of the process,” board President David Ray said.
