Updated campaign finance reports reveal who is funding these campaigns and how successful each candidates’ fundraising efforts have

A Castle Rock man has been indicted and arrested with three other men, including former White House adviser Steve Bannon, on charges of fraud stemming from a campaign that raised millions to build a southern border wall.

Timothy Shea, 49, of Castle Rock was charged with one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud and one count of conspiracy to commit money laundering. Both charges carry a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison.

Brian Kolfage, 38, of Miramar Beach, Florida; Andrew Badolato, 56, of Sarasota, Florida; and Bannon, 66, of Washington D.C., face the same charges.

All four men were arrested on Aug. 20, according to a release from the U.S. Attorney’s Office Southern District of New York. Shea appeared before U.S. Magistrate Judge Kristen L. Mix in Denver federal court that afternoon.

In the virtual court hearing, Shea was granted a $250,000 unsecured bond under numerous conditions.

Shea can travel in Colorado and New York, where his court hearings will be held, but cannot travel internationally and must surrender any passports he possesses.

He is also prohibited from raising any money for the We Build the Wall campaign or transferring money in accounts associated with the fundraiser.

County schools delay launch of online instruction Teachers union says district was ‘ill prepared’ for start

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

As the Douglas County teacher’s union raised alarms about the

readiness of schools to launch online instruction for the new school year, the school district announced it was delaying the start for some students enrolled in its “eLearning” program by one week, to Aug. 31.

Before the Aug. 21 announcement, Douglas County Federation President Kallie Leyba said that some union members who are assigned to online teaching posi-

tions were reporting they did not yet know what classes they are instructing and did not have final student rosters.

As of Aug. 21, other teachers had not received login information needed to begin using the online teaching platform purchased by the district for the 2020-21 school year, called Edgenuity.

Dems keeping up with GOP in commissioner fundraising $166K raised so far in contest for open District 2 seat

BY ELLIOTT WENZLER EWENZLER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

While it’s unusual in Douglas County commissioner elections for

Democrats to be competitive with their Republican opponents in campaign fundraising, so far that’s the case for both open seats.

That’s rare, according to a Colorado Community Media analysis of the past 18 years of campaign finance reports in county races.

With the election still several weeks away, District 2 Democratic candidate Lisa Neal-Graves is only $3,000 behind Republican opponent

Highlands Ranch residents rally for Postal Service Protest was one of many across state and country

BY ELLIOTT WENZLER EWENZLER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

About 50 Highlands Ranch residents gathered at the local post office on University Boulevard and Quebec Street Aug. 22 carrying signs of support for the U.S. Postal Service and asking for honks of encouragement from drivers.

The rally, organized by a variety of local advocacy groups including Indivisible Highlands Ranch, a progressive activist group, was publicized through Facebook and Nextdoor, said Karen Duggan, communications coordinator for the Douglas County Democrats.

“It’s absolutely ridiculous that this institution is under fire,” Duggan said. “This isn’t a company and I don’t think people understand that.”

The protest was one of many across the country in support of USPS. The rallies came after weeks of the Postal Service being thrust into politics as federal funding for the institution remains up in the air.

“We feel like we have to do something,” said protester Karalee McWhorter.

McWhorter, 84, has lived in Highlands Ranch since 2007, she said.

“This is a direct assault on vote-by-mail,” she said. “I’ve voted by mail for years and years.”

David Steinbach, president of the American Postal Workers Union in Littleton, also attended the rally wearing a “save our Postal Service” face mask.

“I was a window clerk here for 20 years,” Steinbach said, pointing to the nearby post office. “(Workers there) are scared, management is scared.”

The staff at the Highlands Ranch post office hopes to be able to return to working overtime as mail begins to get backed up, Steinbach said.

“Out here in Highlands Ranch (mail carriers) are out there 12 hours a day because we haven’t lost a great amount of (mail) volume,” he said.

Many protesters voiced concerns about slowed mail deliveries affecting citizens’ medications, vital communications and the November election.

“Voting by mail in a pandemic is essential for our democracy,” said protestor Dana Grant. “Either side that’s you’re on, it affects your voice in democracy.”

Protesters at the Aug. 22 event were met with many honks and waves of support but also some negative feedback. At one point, a counter-

Carla Farris and daughter Hannah Farris participated in a protest in support of the United States Postal Service in Highlands Ranch on Aug. 22. Carla carried a sign that read “this is the last straw” and Hannah carried a giant straw. protester carrying a “Trump 2020” sign arrived at the rally and clashed with the group.

When asked why he came out to the rally, he said “Because I’m a part of this community and I’m not going to live in fear for supporting Trump.”

The man, who would only give a first name, Greg, 46, said he is a Highlands Ranch resident.

“I don’t think you know where you are in Douglas County,” the man said to one protester. “This is Trump country.”

Greg said he also is in support of saving the Postal

Service.

One of the original protesters, Kitty Marini, approached Greg after seeing conflicts with other protesters and attempted to soothe tensions.

Marini asked her fellow protesters not to engage with Greg.

“We’re all human beings and if we don’t learn to cross the aisle we’re not going to get anywhere,” she said about speaking with Greg.

“I found out he’s somebody’s son, he’s somebody’s father ...

I’m tired of showing up with a good purpose in mind and it getting ruined because we can’t talk.”

Marini, a self-described liberal, approached Greg, a supporter of President Trump, in an attempt to have a civil discourse when he arrived to counterprotest, she said. “We’re all human beings and if we don’t learn to cross the aisle we aren’t going to get anywhere,” she said.

Sheriff celebrates 40 years with county Spurlock’s first day with agency was Aug. 1, 1980

BY ELLIOTT WENZLER EWENZLER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

When Sheriff Tony Spurlock started as a dispatcher with the Douglas County Sheriff ’s Office, the office was just getting ready to move into a new building at 355 S. Wilcox St. in Castle Rock.

Back then, “Douglas County was small,” Spurlock said.

Since then, the office has moved again to its current Justice Way location.

This month marks 40 years since Spurlock started with the Douglas County Sheriff ’s Office, and the county commissioners recognized his work anniversary in their Aug. 11 business meeting.

“We are so thankful to have you represent what good law enforcement looks like in this county,” Commissioner Abe Laydon said to Spurlock in the meeting.

Spurlock’s first day of work was Aug. 1, 1980. Since then, he has served in almost every unit of the office, including patrol, detentions and SWAT, Undersheriff Holly Nicholson-Kluth said in the meeting.

Throughout his career, Spurlock

worked under four sheriffs and served as a sergeant, lieutenant and captain. In 2005 he became the undersheriff for Sheriff Dave Weaver and in 2014 was appointed as sheriff.

He was then elected in 2015 as the county’s 33rd sheriff.

In a speech about the sheriff, Nicholson-Kluth outlined some of the major events that have occurred while Spurlock has been leading the department, including the on-duty death of Deputy Zackari Parrish, the suicide of a sheriff ’s office sergeant and the shooting at STEM School Highlands Ranch.

“He leads us and the community with compassion and poise,” Nicholson-Kluth said. “He leads with his heart. He does what he believes is right.”

Spurlock also spoke in the meeting about what it has been like to work in the sheriff ’s office for 40 years.

“I’ve had a good time,” he said.

“It’s been an incredible ride and an incredible pleasure.”

Spurlock’s term as sheriff is set to run until January 2023.

“I have a few things left I want to do,” he said. “I’ve got a little bit of time left and a lot of ideas I think that we can do to not only better the county but to better the employees that work here in Douglas County and to encourage them to stay.”

INDICTED FROM PAGE 1

Bannon is the best known of the men who were indicted. Bannon, former executive of conservative media outlet Breitbart News, was a leader of Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign and later served as chief strategist during the first year of the Trump presidency.

An indictment unsealed in New York alleges the men “orchestrated a scheme to defraud hundreds of thousands of donors” through an online crowdfunding campaign called “We Build the Wall,” which raised more than $25 million.

The indictment alleges all four men “collectively received hundreds of thousands of dollars in donor funds from We Build the Wall,” despite Bannon and Kolfage claiming the fundraiser was run by a volunteer organization and that Kolfage would “not take a penny in salary or compensation,” according to the indictment.

Shea allegedly controlled a shell company the men used to funnel We Build the Wall money to Kolfage, according to the indictment.

The indictment alleges Kolfage took more than $350,000 in donations for personal use. Bannon controlled a nonprofit which he allegedly used to “secretly pay Kolfage and to cover hundreds of thousands of dollars in Bannon’s personal expenses,” the indictment says.

“To conceal the payments to Kolfage from We Build the Wall, Kolfage, Bannon, Badolato and Shea devised a scheme to route those payments from We Build the Wall to Kolfage indirectly through (Bannon’s nonprofit) and a shell company under Shea’s control,

cording to the indictment.

The indictment says the fundraising leaders and the campaign’s website falsely claimed to prospective donors that “100% of your donation” would be given to the government

and if the wall was not built the fundraiser would “refund every single penny.”

Within one week of launching the fundraiser in December 2018, Kolfage and Shea raised $17 million, according to the indictment. The fundraiser also generated swift and intense scrutiny.

Denver TV station KUSA-9News began investigating the fundraiser in 2018 after a post office box in Castle Rock was listed as a donation site.

Shea’s wife, Amanda, told the news station at the time the couple helped created the GoFundMe with Kolfage.

The Sheas ran the back end of the campaign while Kolfage served as the fundraiser’s face, she told 9News.

Kolfage in 2018 refused to identify his Castle Rock “business associates” to The Denver Post and said they were not involved in the fundraising.

This is not the Sheas’ first brush with controversy. The couple also runs the Facebook page Top of the Rock, which last year drew criticism after posting that people could recieve free gun range passes if they signed a petition to recall Gov. Jared Polis at a local gun shop, DCF Guns.

Josh Barton, the vice president of sales and marketing for DCF Guns, told Colorado Community Media then that the gun shop had not intended to offer bribes, saying other community Facebook pages shared about the petition “and that’s what stirred everything up.”

The Top of the Rock post was later edited to remove the offer of free range passes.

The incident prompted more than two dozen complaints with Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold’s office, though a spokesperson for 18th Judicial District Attorney George Brauchler, whose district includes Douglas County, said Griswold never called for an investigation.

Animal adoptions brighten life during pandemic More time at home means more time to welcome furry family members

BY LILLIAN FUGLEI SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA

The novel coronavirus has meant a lot more time at home for many people, which has some perks — including an increase in pet adoptions.

“Since we knew we’d be home all summer, and since we limit how much going out and about we do now, we thought it was a good time to get a puppy,” said Jennie Shipman of Littleton. She and her family adopted a 9-week-old collie puppy named Lucky to keep themselves busy during a long summer at home.

“Having Lucky here brings a lot of joy to our home,” Shipman said. “He is a great reason to put our electronics away and devote our time to doing things with him.Our kids are surprised by how much energy he has, and everything he has to learn.”

For shelters like Littleton’s Humane Society of The South Platte Valley, the pandemic means heightened cleaning measures and a limit on volunteers, but they stand ready to facilitate adoptions — now by appointment.

Jennie Shipman of Littleton said her family adopted Lucky, a collie puppy, motivated in part by how much time they’re spending at home during the pandemic.

COURTESY PHOTO “In Colorado in general, there are lots of humans looking to adopt their new friends” said Kelsey Kennelly, the center’s outreach director. “It’s a good place to be for homeless animals.”

She believes the increased time at home has led to more adoptions.

“For people who are at home more than they would normally be, one of the most obvious benefits is being able to help the animal get situated in its first few nights, weeks and months in a new environment,” Kennelly said.

“By being physically there with the animal as they adjust, adopters are able to monitor the animal’s behavior more closely and ensure they are on the path to success.”

Lillian Fuglei is a senior at Heritage High School in Littleton.

State cracks down on large events, not protests Conservatives see ‘clear double standard’ in protest policy

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Colorado officials in recent weeks took enforcement action against events that threatened to overrun the state’s limits on crowd sizes, but the crackdown called attention to the lack of similar enforcement regarding racial-justice protests around metro Denver in recent months.

The office of Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser issued a ceaseand-desist letter in late July to Live Entertainment, the company behind a planned July 26 rodeo in Weld County and at least one other event that have drawn as many as thousands. The office proactively sent cease-and-desist orders to an organizer, Adixion Music, as well as a venue, Imperial Horse Racing Facility, to stop such events in the future, according to a governor’s office news release.

Gov. Jared Polis called such gatherings “dangerous superspreader events” at an Aug. 4 news conference, referring to large crowds’ ability to spread coronavirus.

“People who put themselves at risk aren’t just putting themselves at risk — they’re putting their family, their neighborhood and community at risk, and we cannot stand for that,” Polis said at the news conference.

In all, Weiser’s staff has sent four

A crowd of about 200 gathered in O’Brien Park in Parker on June 4 for a demonstration protesting the death of George Floyd and racial injustice in America. The protesters lay down for eight minutes and 46 seconds, the length of time Floyd was pinned down by his neck while in Minneapolis police custody.

PHOTO BY NICK PUCKETT cease-and-desist orders to organizers for violating size limits on large events, said Weiser spokesman Lawrence Pacheco on Aug. 19.

‘Double standard’ alleged The state’s response to the Weld County rodeo prompted a conservative blog, Colorado Peak Politics, to

argue that protests received a “free pass” on crowd-size enforcement and that Polis looked the other way when it came to “mobs rallying their Democrat base.”

That complaint echoed other conservative writers in recent months, including in an op-ed piece in Colorado Politics magazine by business-

man Barry Farah, a 2018 Republican candidate for governor, that spoke of a “clear double standard” in the state’s treatment of protesters. An opinion piece by U.S. Rep. Ken Buck, a Republican of Windsor, made a similar point about protests nationwide.

You Don’t Have to Struggle Financially in Retirement

by Matt Witt

H

ave you found now that you are retired you constantly worry about which bills to pay on your fixed income? Is there no joy in the Golden years because your budget is so tight? A reverse mortgage may be the lifesaving help you have been seeking.

With a government-insured reverse mortgage, you can pay off your current mortgage, eliminate your monthly mortgage payment* and get the budget breathing-room you need. Like so many seniors right here in Colorado have discovered, not only can they eliminate their mortgage payment, they can also get tax-free cash to use for any purpose.

Even if you don’t have a mortgage, you may be “house rich and cash poor.” You have paid into your home for many years and have accumulated housing wealth that can only be accessed if you sell.

With a reverse mortgage, you can access a portion of the equity in your home while you continue to own the home so you can get cash and make life a little easier.

To qualify for a reverse mortgage at least one borrower must be 62 or older, the home must be your primary residence, and you should have 30–60% equity. Just to clarify, with a reverse mortgage, you are the only one who owns your home and its equity. The bank does not.

We all want to live a long, healthy, independent life. With a reverse mortgage, aging-in-place is possible!

Call me today at 720-458-4034 to see if a reverse mortgage is right for you.

Douglas County Human Services recognized with state award STAFF REPORT

The Colorado Department of Human Services has recognized the Douglas County Department of Human Services with a “2020 C-Stat Distinguished Performance Award,” according to a press release from the county.

“Your remarkable performance over this last year helped ensure that Douglas County families in need didn’t go hungry, were connected to meaningful work opportunities, and remained safe,” said Douglas County Commissioner Abe Laydon to Human Services employees at the virtual award ceremony conducted on July 30, according to the release.

The county’s “outstanding” performance efforts were tied to programs that help Coloradans, including helping more local families move toward a stronger economic future by connecting them with meaningful work opportunities and workforce development programs, delivering crucial food and energy assistance in a timely manner and keeping vulnerable adults and children safe, according to the release.

“We believe in being people-first, and it clearly shows that Douglas County lives that out every day,” CDHS executive director Michelle Barnes said in the release. “Douglas County is leading the way as a top performer by delivering fast and consistent services, helping Coloradans find resources and meet the needs of their families.”

In total, the county was recognized for achieving the annual goal on 19 different measures, including the percentage of current child support collected, food assistance payment, case and procedural error rate, and timeliness of Colorado Works applications.

C-Stat is a performance management tool to help CDHS better focus on and improve performance outcomes that enhance people’s lives.

The Distinguished Performance Award recognizes counties that are timely, safe and accurate in work and meeting goals. Counties that meet their goals are more likely to be meeting the needs of individuals and families in their community, and more likely to have higher completion rates of applications. Douglas County was one of 19 that received a 2020 C-Stat Distinguished Performance Award.

been in recent months. The latest contribution reports, which cover June 22 through July 25, are available on the Colorado secretary of state’s TRACER website.

To date, the District 2 race between Teal, Neal-Graves and Libertarian Victoria Reynolds has been the most costly race. Of the more than $166,000 raised in total through July, about $103,000 was spent among the three.

District 2 encompasses southern and western Douglas County, including Castle Rock, Castle Pines, Larkspur, Perry Park and Roxborough. However, Douglas County elects its commissioners at large in a countywide election. The winner in November will succeed current Commissioner Roger Partridge.

Teal alone has raised $82,300 for his campaign and spent $85,500.

Neal-Graves is close behind in contributions with $79,300 but has only spent about $15,000. Reynolds has raised $5,190 and spent $2,760.

In just the late-June-through-July period covered by the most recent contribution report, Teal raised $29,555 and spent $21,864. Among Teal’s contributors in that period were Frank McNulty — a former Republican speaker of the Colorado House of Representatives — as well as Douglas County Clerk and Recorder Merlin Klotz and Republican State Rep.

People from Douglas County, the Front Range and some other states including Texas and Oregon donated to her campaign.

Thomas, who has also served as the county’s coroner and as a state trooper, says she will focus on wastewater solutions, mental health support and economic development if she wins a second term.

Her contributors this period came mostly from Douglas County and other Front Range communities.

As the COVID-19 pandemic has surged throughout the country, issues related to that have taken center stage in the election. Teal and Thomas, for instance, have voiced support for the current commissioners decision to divorce from Tri-County Health Department.

Neal-Graves and Wilson, however, have criticized aspects of the move.

Ballots for the commissioners race, along with the presidential, U.S. Senate and other elections will be sent out Oct. 9. Election day is Nov. 3.

Douglas County school’s 6th grade in quarantine after positive COVID-19 test District: 6th-grade classes at the school ‘will transition to virtual learning’

BY ELLIOTT WENZLER EWENZLER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Sixth-grade students and teachers at Sand Creek Elementary School in Highlands Ranch are under quarantine for two weeks after someone in the grade tested positive for COVID-19, the Douglas County School District said.

The district was notified Aug. 22 that someone had tested positive, said Paula Hans, a spokesperson with the district.

“They will transition to virtual learning for two weeks and then return on or after Sept. 8,” she said Monday.

Students at the school are split into two cohorts, with half the students attending school in person Monday and Wednesday and the other half attending Tuesday and Thursday. All students have online learning on Fridays. That’s why some students will return from quarantine Sept. 8 and the rest Sept. 9.

The school district did not specify if it was a student or teacher who tested positive. However, the TriCounty Health Department, which the district is following for its quarantine protocol, asks people to quarantine if they have been within 6 feet of, or

If any of the students or teachers in quarantine test positive in the next two weeks, the district will consult Tri-County about next steps, Hans

said.

“If someone is a sibling of a sixth grader (at Sand Creek), they can still attend school as long as the sibling doesn’t show symptoms or test positive,” she said.

Over the weekend, the school was

That meant teachers could not begin familiarizing themselves with the program or begin to build classes, the union said.

“I am just stunned at what’s going on with the in-person learning and the eLearning,” Leyba said. “I can’t even believe how ill-prepared our district is to go back to this eLearning, and unfortunately, it’s not what they are telling parents and it’s not what they are telling the board.”

At the time Leyba spoke to Colorado Community Media Aug. 21, the district was still slated to fully launch its online learning program on Aug. 24. But the district announced later that it was delaying the start to online classes for high school students until Aug. 31.

In response to an interview request with Superintendent Thomas Tucker regarding concerns raised by the union, a spokeswoman provided a letter sent to high school families from Director of eLearning Diane Smith announcing the delay.

“Getting our eLearning platform up and running in a short period of time has been challenging, but even more so at the high school level,” Smith said in the letter.

The delay would give the district time to hire additional teachers for online learning and complete scheduling, Smith said.

The district is offering 100% online education as an alternative to its “hybrid” learning model. Under hybrid learning, students attend two days of class in-person and three online.

About 6,300 students have enrolled

Push back on COVID The union also pushed back against comments Tucker made during the Aug. 18 school board meeting regarding 100% in-person learning.

Tucker said if local COVID-19 data such as case positivity and incidence rates stay low after Labor Day, the district can examine tran-

sitioning to full in-person learning, beginning with elementary school students.

Leyba said the union wants the district to continue operating on a hybrid model for another four weeks so it can gather more data about how hybrid learning is affecting local virus trends.

That time would also allow students more practice at mastering social distancing procedures, she said.

Leyba also criticized online teachers’ class sizes, saying some union

When asked if there have been other positive cases in the district, Hans said “We are monitoring that on a regular basis.”

teachers assigned to online learning report having between 40 and 50 students in a class. Online teachers are teaching six classes while in-person teachers are managing five, she said.

“We really want our district to put out some transparent communication to our parents about e-learning.

Our parents are being told that electives will be offered but our teachers are being told that we are not offering electives,” Leyba said.

The union had asked its members to send a letter to Tucker and board directors with a number of requests before the high school delay was announced.

The letter, provided to Colorado Community Media, states online teachers have not been given enough time to learn the online platform and create the “‘robust’ education promised by our district.”

“The teachers who are conducting the e-learning this year are expected to have unreasonable number of students (some over 300!) and teach six of eight classes (and an additional advisement class) with no additional compensation,” the letter states.

The union requested additional pay for online teachers instructing more than five classes, that online class sizes not exceed in-person class sizes, and a delay to online learning.

Leyba initially said union teachers were willing to speak about their concerns with online learning, but later said the union was asking members not to give interviews because of a Douglas County School District policy requiring that media requests go through the district.

“I wasn’t comfortable referring (Colorado Community Media) to a teacher because the district has asked teachers not to talk to the media,” she said.

he title of the assignment was intentionally dumb: “How I Spent My Summer Vacation,” a holdover from the grade school writing projects many of us QUIET were assigned.

It was a perfect introduction to the top drawing students Craig Marshall in the school. Or an Smith immediate indicator that a student had reached a level they were incapable of maintaining for 16 weeks.

Commissioners made right call This summer, the Tri-County Health Department Board demanded that Douglas County comply with the mask mandate.

This was despite the recommendation from TCHD’s executive director that we be exempt from the mandate due to our far fewer COVID-19 case numbers than Adams and Arapahoe Counties.

It seems very unlikely, doesn’t it?

Further, the absence of socialization might have a huge impact on, well, learning how to socialize, get along and coexist.

Have you ever wanted to flip a switch and see the future? Where’s Rod Serling?

My friend in Texas does not foresee higher education ever being the same again.

What else? Anyone who experienced depression before the pandemic isn’t likely to be singing show tunes right now.

Every day I ask myself, “What can I do?”

Realistically, this is about it. Along with journalists all over the country, I am trying my best to continue to provide crucial information to our readers.

Have you heard about that new corduroy pillow? It’s making headlines.

The intimacy of instruction in an art room is absolute, I thought: no exceptions.

Now look.

Almost everything we once considered normal is now something else, and that includes schools and schooling.

What if school buildings disappeared and all students were educated at home? Or not? Truancy would be easy as pie. Ferris Bueller could take off for months at a time.

I know someone who teaches at Overland High School. My best friend is a dean at the University of North Texas.

That’s as close as I am to what the school year might actually mean.

I hope to be around long enough to find out what the 2020 educational data that was collected and analyzed determined.

That’s something the National Center for Education Statistics will do.

Is it possible our children will be better educated at home or in environments outside of a typical classroom?

Believe or not, the project was very challenging. Every day, we do a hundred or more things that might become a memory. Any memory can become an image in the hands of someone who is creative.

Sifting through ideas is what all artists do. “Artists” includes inventors, lyricists, architects, and anyone else who has to make choices for a living.

If you were asked to sift through your 2020 summer and represent it with a drawing on a single piece of paper, what would it look like?

Generally, the drawings I looked at were scenes from a vacation, something like that. Rarely were they dark.

One young woman had the temerity to depict her breakup with a married man.

After I retired I was asked now and then to sub or make an appearance as a guest artist. And once I was asked if I would be interested in teaching an online drawing course.

It sounded like madness and I said so.

The positive evolution of professional selling

hink about a time when you decided not to get behind a cause, chose not to buy into an idea or plan, or decided not to make a purchase of a product or service. When I ask WINNING people why they chose WORDS not to participate, buy in, or make the purchase, one word comes up most of the time: trust. Or rather a lack of trust.

They either didn’t trust or believe in the cause, they didn’t trust the plan, they didn’t trust the person selling Michael Norton them the product, they didn’t trust the product or service, or they didn’t trust the company to stand behind the product or service.

In a recent virtual sales training session that I participated in, the facilitator shared a graphic showing how people viewed certain professions regarding trustworthiness. Would it shock you to learn that salespeople were seen as the least trustworthy of all the professions listed? It did and it did not shock me.

It did not shock me because salespeople have endured a negative stigma for a very long time. Whenever a group of people are asked for words that they

think of when they think of salespeople, they typically come up with words like: slimy, sleazy, dishonest, liar, unprofessional, and many more derogatory characterizations.

It did shock me because I have been around a lot of salespeople over the past three decades. And as I look back at the evolution of professional selling, I have seen how salespeople have evolved, and how companies have become increasingly selective in making sure they hire and develop professional salespeople.

More and more companies are investing in the people they hire in providing the right skills-based training. They provide them with industry and product knowledge to make sure that they represent themselves and the company professionally.

I meet with salespeople every day.

These meetings take place virtually and the salespeople are trying to sell me something that they believe I might need or want. When I agree to take a meeting, I do so for two reasons. First, I may actually have a need or desire for a product or service they are selling.

Second, I like to see how salespeople are selling. Are they connecting with me, are they professional, are they actively listening, do they ask me relevant questions, do they have their facts and data

explore what’s best for our county. We should be able to make our own public health decisions without Adams and Arapahoe counties deciding for us. Seventy percent of Colorado counties have their own health departments and Douglas County deserves that autonomy as well.

Importantly, we can still access the same TCHD health services that we were able to previously. In fact, Douglas County commissioners are discussing a new collaborative and creative governance model with TCHD where they’ll continue delivering public health services to Douglas County. This new model won’t raise taxes and would preserve and improve services for our community.

As county commissioner, Lora Thomas’ first priority is the health and safety of our community. To achieve this, she knows we need freedom to make the right decisions for our county. Our performance proves she and the other commissioners made the right call and their creative problem-solving gives us a better future.

Protests amassed in the downtown Denver area for at least two weeks in late May and June following the killing of George Floyd, a Black man, by a Minneapolis police officer, an incident that sparked nationwide unrest. tProtests that also focused on criminal justice issues in Colorado — such as the death of Elijah McClain in August 2019 following an encounter with Aurora police — continued into at least late July in the metro area.

In some cases, the demonstrations saw crowds of thousands. Denverarea protests are often organized and advertised on social media.

Under Colorado’s safer-at-home order, gatherings of more than 10 people in public and private spaces are prohibited, but crowd sizes can be larger in numerous circumstances depending on the activity or business, according to the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment.

Under the safer-at-home order, outdoor events — including receptions, fairs, rodeos and concerts and others — can allow up to 175 people, excluding staff, per designated activity with a minimum of 6 feet between individuals or non-household contacts.

‘Right to protest’ Weiser’s office and the state public-health department declined to respond to questions from Colorado Community Media about complaints of political bias and why protests should be treated differently than other types of large gatherings.

Polis’ office did not directly address those questions but provided a statement in response.

Polis “respects every Coloradan’s right to free speech. The governor has been very clear that we are still experiencing a global pandemic, and if people choose to exercise their right to protest, they need to wear

sioners. Darien Wilson is a local small business owner who will prioritize science, data and facts to restore our economy and protect our community.

If businesses are to thrive, they need to be able to stay open with safe conditions supported by county leadership. To protect our economic welfare, the BOCC should set the example and show how we can shop safely by wearing masks, keeping distant, and listening to local health officials, which raises the confidence of local consumers. Instead they have spent their time criticizing the judgment of experts because they don’t like the answers.

Recently, Darien hosted a videoconference with a local pulmonologist who shared his experiences and insights with regard to the pandemic. Darien demonstrates that she will listen to experts and smart science to make good public policy that protects our lives and jobs. She won’t use politics to attack doctors and nurses working to save lives.

Darien understands that economic prosperity and public health are inextricably linked. Her opponent is a career politician whose refusal to respect experts trying to protect our neighbors and economy during this unprecedented crisis shows she prioritizes extreme politics at our expense. Darien doesn’t just pay lip service to the importance of fiscal responsibility and the difficulty of keeping small businesses profitable.

She lives it and I trust her to make the right decisions as our next County Commissioner.

masks, practice social distancing, and get a free and easy test afterwards,” said Conor Cahill, a spokesman for Polis.

Despite Polis’ support for the motivation for protests, he worried about the effect of large demonstrations on the spread of COVID-19 and encouraged participants to get tested. The governor stressed the importance of wearing masks and staying 6 feet from others.

“Health experts tell me (the protests) could result in hundreds of new cases,” Polis said at a June 2 news conference.

As a dramatic rise in the state’s rate of new COVID-19 cases took shape in June, Polis pointed partly to protests as a driving factor.

“Our uptick, like the major spikes in other states, is largely among the younger demographic,” 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.”

Earlier that month, Polis didn’t characterize the protests as playing a large role in Colorado’s outbreaks, saying “there’s some evidence that” some of the people involved in a Boulder outbreak attended marches.

“We don’t necessarily have that same information from Denver,” Polis said at a June 24 news conference.

“We believe it was associated with large get-togethers and parties.”

Asked how large a role protests played in Colorado’s June and July spike in COVID-19 cases, the state public-health department put the focus on Coloradans’ wider socializing compared to earlier in the pandemic.

“The increase in cases last month is likely due to a change in behavior, including socializing in larger groups, especially if without proper physical distancing or mask-wearing,” said an Aug. 20 statement from the Colorado State Joint Information Center, which includes staff from the state public-health department.

NORTON FROM PAGE 10

right? Are they earning my trust?

And I have to tell you that for the most part, today’s salesperson is very professional, they are well educated on their offerings, even in a virtual setting they are engaging and making great eye contact. They ask relevant questions and take good notes. And they follow up, doing what they said they would do, when they said they would do it. All of this contributes greatly to earning my trust.

It has been said that there are five primary reasons people choose not to buy something, or not to buy into something.

No Time, No Want, No Money, No Need, but the number one reason is No Trust.

So now when I am on a virtual sales training session, I ask everyone to make sure their cameras are on, and I ask them a different question. I ask them what they see as they look around at all the faces on the screen and how they would describe the salespeople on their team. What I hear from people these days are words like: professional, honest, integrity, successful, great attitude, achiever, smart, and more positive and affirming words. The world has changed, and so has the profession of selling. The world will continue to change, and so will the salespeople as they work towards earning and maintaining our trust.

How about you? Have you seen how salespeople have grown and changed? Are you in sales, and if so, have you noticed the positive difference in yourself and in your team?

I would love to hear your trust story at mnorton@tramazing. com, and when we live and work from a foundation of trust, it really will be a better than good week.

Michael Norton is the grateful CEO of Tramazing.com, a personal and professional coach, and a consultant, trainer, encourager and motivator to businesses of all sizes.

OBITUARIES WILLIAMSON

Vel Williamson Vel Williamson, age 76 died in her Castle Rock home surrounded by loving family on August 10, 2020.

Vel was born Velma Jean Edgerton in Detroit, Michigan on July 1, 1944. She had a difficult childhood, losing her mother at age 6. A talented singer and musician, who taught herself how to play piano and guitar, she won many friends through her church and was welcomed into the home of the Vibberts, who became her second family. From her teenage years onward Vel was a sought after singer, who performed regularly at weddings, graduations, various churches in the area and even on the radio.

Vel married William Claude Williamson (Bill) on June 11, 1966. They were happily married for 54 years and raised three children in southern California. For 15 years Vel was a nursing assistant in various hospitals. Seeing Vel’s leadership abilities, nursing staff enlisted her to teach other nursing assistants. Taking a break from the nursing profession Vel worked 3 years for a manufacturing company in security protecting millions of dollars’ worth of Gold used to create fine jewelry. We called her “Pistol Packing Mama” because she carried a 45.

Vel’s ambition was to become a cosmetologist. Taking classes at Elegante Beauty College, she graduated to become a cosmetologist but, again, school staff saw that Vel had an ability to teach and encouraged her to continue her education to become an Instructor. For 15 years Vel taught at Elegante Beauty Colleges and Royal College of Beauty. Vel was beloved by her students, who called her “Miss Vel.” She won many accolades for her ability to teach, inspire and challenge her students. Her usual opening comments were, “My name is Miss Vel and I’m here to guide you through your turmoils.” She enjoyed keeping family members on their toes by changing her hair cut and color frequently. A dozen of her glamorous looks are memorialized in a

photo collage called, “Bill’s many wives.”

Through the years Vel continued singing in churches and in the early 1980’s she and Bill had a spiritual renewal that resulted in the Williamson family forming a gospel music program, Vel being the featured soloist. The Williamsons performed many concerts in Southern California churches, as well as tours throughout the Midwest and Pacific Northwest. For two years Vel was a featured singer and soloist at the Knott’s Berry Farm church, pastored by an evangelical minister. Located in the famous amusement park, Sunday services were attended by visitors from around the world.

In 2007 Bill & Vel retired in Castle Rock, Colorado and for the past 12 years Vel was an active member of her local church of the Nazarene, participating in many of the social and spiritual events. You could often find her greeting worshipers on Sunday morning and organizing the Christmas decorating. Vel loved Christmas and her holiday house was famous! She began festooning the dozens of trees and creating countless snowy and sparkling scenes in September in order to be ready for the Christmas parties--one for the church family and one for the neighborhood friends--that we all looked forward to each year.

Vel was a fun, generous, and loving woman whom all adored. She is survived by her loving husband Bill, her daughter Lisa Gail Hoins and husband Frank, and two sons: Woodrow Williamson and his partner Leona Godin, and youngest son Christopher Williamson, and her four Grandchildren: Justin, Andrew, Joshua, and Micah. She also leaves behind her dear sister Florence Lebow Hicks, and many cousins, nieces, and nephews who all miss her very much.

A memorial service will be held on Saturday, September 5, 2020, 2:30 PM, at The Rock Church: 4881 CHEROKEE DR. CASTLE ROCK, CO 80109.

Virtual learning provides challenges for dance instructors

BY NICK PUCKETT NPUCKETT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

I

nstructors at the Parker Dance Academy are getting better at using their words.

Studio director Lexie Steinhauser has danced and taught dance for years. But even she struggled when it came to teaching through a computer screen.

“Usually, as you’re teaching the technique of dance, you go around and touch their shoulders, tell them to go back, tell them to fix their foot,” said Steinhauser. “We’ve gotten really into imagery with our students, and with movement, how you utilize different body parts.”

Without the ability to get up close with their students to adjust an elbow here or a plie there, dance teachers are adapting their methods to reach students beyond the studio.

“As dancers, especially dance teachers who have worked all over the world, you have to learn how to adapt to a situation no matter what,” Steinhauser said. “It’s part of the gig.

If someone goes the wrong way, makes a wrong step, gets too close to another dancer, the music stops, the audience throws something at you — you have to adapt to that situation and make it seem like nothing has gone wrong.”

Dance instructors throughout Denver are finding new ways to reach their students and picking up new tricks themselves along the way.

Allison Jaramillo, co-director of the Littleton Ballet Academy, said the instructors found some new tools while learning to teach virtually. The angle with which the students position their web cameras can sometimes help instructors visualize a student’s form. The shy students in class have been noticeably more engaged.

Less-advanced dancers don’t feel left behind in a big group and end up discouraged.

“They knew they weren’t the best in the class, but all of a sudden they were the best in their house,” Jaramillo said.

They say dance like no one’s watching, Jaramillo said.

“For some of them, it was actually true.”

The pre-ballet students, from ages 3 to 6, have been the most difficult to engage. Students are sometimes left without a parent watching at home and become distracted.

Instructors have to be more expressive and praise the students as much as possible. Lisa Leafgreen, director of education at the Arvada Center for the Arts and Humanities, said the instructors have to give twice the effort to get half the output from the students.

“It’s just not an ideal format for a performing art,” Leafgreen said. “But we adjusted. They pivoted their teaching style like we all did to put more into their teaching. It’s not that they didn’t before, but it takes more excitement and exuberance.”

Jaramillo said the Littleton Ballet Academy may not be back to full inperson teaching for several months.

The academy is operating under a “hy-

brid” model, letting students choose to stay home or find spots in a class. The school won’t be holding any performances until at least spring, hoping to perform “The Nutcracker” as soon as they can.

“The ones that started coming every day because they had nothing else to do realized they started improving, which helped them keep up,” Jaramillo said.

High school students lost their proms, graduations and most of their spring semester. Lisa Leafgreen, director of education at the Arvada Center for the Arts and Humanities, said the center set out to make sure its art programs were one of the few things that didn’t close or cancel.

“As writers need to write, dancers need to dance,” Leafgreen said. “It is such an important time to stay connected.”

The Arvada Center is offering in-person classes for its all its usual dance courses. Capacity is limited to about half as many students with social distancing maintained. Lessons are available online as well.

Leafgreen said the shift to a virtual teaching format has given the center more opportunities to reach a wider range of people as well. Leafgreen said the center has had people take virtual lessons from across the country. One person tuned in from Guatemala.

“As a director of education, that was something that wasn’t on my trajectory of what I thought our program would be doing, but we shifted, we pivoted, we’re nimble and it opens different possibilities,” Leafgreen said.

Dance instructors are just beginning to venture into this world of virtual

teaching, Leafgreen said.

“I wake up each day thinking, ‘OK, is this going to happen? Is that going to happen?’” Leafgreen said. “How do we stay relevant here? How do we continue to keep kids engaged? It’s rethinking everything we do.”

Without any competitions to work toward, no thunderous applause to look forward to and no “The Nutcracker” over the holidays, instructors are also finding new ways to motivate their students.

Steinhauser says she tries to remember what makes dance important to the kids.

“A lot of these kids, the reason they dance is for the friends and community and the relationships you only get with someone in an artistic way,” Steinhauser said. “We’ve been continuing to think outside the box to move together.”

Hard-fought softball game shows determination Coaches pleased with what they see amid unusual season

BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Valerie Warszawski was in Buffalo, New York, two weeks earlier but on Aug. 19 she was playing for Mountain Vista High School for its seasonopening home softball game against Continental League rival ThunderRidge.

Warszawski might not have been well-versed in the rivalry between the two Highlands Ranch schools but she singled home the winning run in the bottom of the seventh inning to give Vista’s Golden Eagles an 8-7 victory.

“I was just trying to get a base hit in the outfield to score the runner,” said Warszawski, a slap hitter who was 3-for-5 in the game with two runs batted in. “I was very nervous. I really didn’t know what to expect and what the competition was going to be like. I was excited. I’m happy. We won.”

Skylar Standen led off the bottom of the seventh with a single and moved to second on a sacrifice bunt by Sydney Butler to bring up Warszawski, who claims softball in Buffalo is no different than in Colorado.

“It’s windy and harder to breathe here, like for running,” said Warsza-

ThunderRidge starting pitcher Alyssa Hunter offers a first inning pitch during the Aug. 19 game at Mountain Vista against the rival Golden Eagles. Hunter had two hits during the game including a two-run homer but Mountain Vista scored once in the bottom of the seventh to pull out an 8-7 win. wski who is a junior and has an older sister, senior Julia, who also plays on the Mountain Vista team. “Overall the softball is pretty similar. We moved like two weeks ago I just got here.”

There were a combined 23 hits in the game, 14 by Mountain Vista and nine by the ThunderRidge Grizzlies.

SOFTBALL FROM PAGE 13

Rachel Lowrey had a solo home run and a two-run double for the Golden Eagles. Julia Warszawski and Ella Costa hit solo home runs while Lowrey, Lauren Falk and Morgan Hoselton each had two hits.

ThunderRidge scored three runs in the sixth inning and two more in the top of the seventh to tie the game at 7-all heading into the home half of the frame. Freshman starting pitcher Alyssa Hunter went 2-for-4 and belted a two-run homer in the seventh to tie the game.

Jorja Sierra had two ThunderRidge hits and drove in two runs and Payton Pacheco also had two RBI for the Grizzlies.

“Hitting is not ahead of pitching this early,” said Vista head coach Bret Grammerstorf. “When we scrimmage ourselves on Saturday, we didn’t score a lot of runs so I think pitchers are still a little bit ahead. You get a mistake and we made them pay for it, that’s for sure.

“There was an outstanding effort by all the girls, a little nerve-wracking, I’m sure, because we didn’t even

get to scrimmage this year, so this was our first time with live bullets.

All in all, I was just telling them I’ve never seen six of these girls play. I got six girls returning and the rest of them I didn’t know what they could do. I was impressed. I like what they can do.”

ThunderRidge coach Kevin McAllister liked the spirit he saw with his team.

“It was a great game,” he said. “It was a rival battle which never seems to disappoint. Our kids kept fighting their way back in. I like the fight in our kids. We were up for a little bit and got down and fought our way back. It was a good fight between two pretty good teams. Seemed like we were working a lot harder to get our runs.

“We’ve just had two weeks of practice and a few optionals. The whole COVID thing has definitely put a strain on us. We had no scrimmages.

We’re seeing what we really have.

There is so much more this year because of the reduction of games. The majority of games we are playing are league games and there’s no regional tournament. So every game means that much more. We’ve got to ingrain that in the kids’ heads. We need every pitch and we need every win.”

City and County PUBLIC NOTICE ORDINANCE NO. 5.06.42.1 A Bill for an Ordinance to Amend Section 7.03.020 of the Parker Municipal Code Concerning Restrictions on Use of Motorized Vehicles and Recreational Vehicles The Town of Parker Council adopted this Ordinance on August 17, 2020.

The full text of the ordinance is available for public inspection and acquisition in the office of the Town Clerk, 20120 East Mainstreet, Parker, Colorado.

Carol Baumgartner, CMC, Town Clerk Legal Notice No. 937830 First Publication: August 27, 2020 Last Publication: August 27, 2020 Publisher: Douglas County News-Press PUBLIC NOTICE This Ordinance and any changes thereto shall be considered on second reading for final adoption by the Lone Tree City Council at a public hearing located at the Lone Tree Arts Center Event Hall at 10075 Commons Street, Lone Tree, CO 80124, at 7:00 p.m. on September 1, 2020. The hearing will also be accessible to the public electronically for any public comments related to this Ordinance.

The Ordinance may also be postponed at said hearing.

ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF LONE TREE Series of 2020 Ordinance No. 20-07 AN ORDINANCE AMENDING ARTICLE III OF CHAPTER 4 OF THE CITY OF LONE TREE MUNICIPAL CODE CONCERNING SALES TAX AND ECONOMIC NEXUS FOR RETAILERS OR VENDORS WITHOUT PHYSICAL PRESENCE IN THE STATE BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LONE TREE, COLORADO: ARTICLE 1 – AUTHORITY The City of Lone Tree (the “City”) is a home rule municipality operating under the Lone Tree Home Rule Charter (the “Charter”) adopted on May 5, 1998 and a Municipal Code (the “Code”), codified and adopted on December 7, 2004. Pursuant to Article XX, Section 6 of the Colorado Constitution, the right to enact, administer and enforce sales taxes is clearly within the constitutional grant of power to the City and is necessary to raise revenue with which to conduct the affairs and render the services performed by the City. Under the Charter, the Code and the authority given home rule cities, the City may adopt and amend sales tax ordinances.

ARTICLE 2 –DECLARATIONS OF POLICY A. The City Council has adopted a comprehensive sales and use tax code codified in Article III of Chapter 4 of the Municipal Code (“Code”) under which City sales tax is levied on all sales and purchases of tangible personal property or taxable services at retail unless prohibited, as applicable to the provision of this Ordinance, under the Constitution or laws of the United States; and B. Based on the United States Supreme Court in South Dakota v. Wayfair, 138 S. Ct. 2080 (2018), a retailer’s obligation to collect sales tax is no longer based on the retailer’s physical presence in the jurisdiction by the Constitution or law of the United States (“Physical Presence Rule”); and C. Especially with the proliferation of internet

sales, the Supreme Court in Wayfair found that the Physical Presence Rule creates an artificial and unfair taxing scheme and market distortions by prejudicing in-state businesses and creating a tax benefit for out-of-state businesses. Under Wayfair, the Physical Presence Rule is no longer required for a business to have a substantial nexus with the taxing state, or other taxing jurisdiction, and to be subject to that jurisdiction’s sales taxes.

D. The City Council finds and determines: 1. The delivery of tangible personal property, products, or services into the City through internet sales relies on and burdens local transportation systems, emergency and police services, waste disposal, utilities and other infrastructure and services; 2. The failure to tax remote sales creates incentives for businesses to avoid a physical presence in the State and its respective communities, resulting in fewer jobs and increasing the share of taxes to those consumers who buy from competitors with a physical presence in the State and its municipalities; 3. It is appropriate for Colorado municipalities to adopt uniform definitions within their sales tax codes to encompass marketplace facilitators, marketplace sellers, and multichannel sellers that do not have a physical presence in the City, but that still have a taxable connection with the City; 4. The goal of adopting this Ordinance is to join the simplification efforts of all the self-collecting home rule municipalities in Colorado; and 5. Without this Ordinance, the continued failure of retailers to voluntarily apply and remit sales tax owed on remote sales exposes the municipality to unremitted taxes and permits an inequitable exception that prevents market participants from competing on an even playing field; and 6. The City adopts this Ordinance with the intent to address tax administration, and to establish economic nexus for retailers or vendors without physical presence in the State and require the retailer or vendor to collect and remit sales tax for all sales made within the marketplace.

ARTICLE 3 – SAFETY CLAUSE The City Council hereby finds, determines, and declares that this Ordinance is promulgated under the general police power of the City, that it is promulgated for the health, safety, and welfare of the public, and that this Ordinance is necessary for the preservation of health and safety and for the protection of public convenience and welfare.

ARTICLE 4 – ADOPTION The following sections of Article III, Sales and Use Tax, of Chapter 4 of the Municipal Code, are hereby amended:

A. The following definitions in Section 4-3-20, titled Definitions, are amended to read in full as follows:

Engaged in Business in the City means performing or providing services or selling, leasing, renting, delivering or installing tangible personal property, products, or services for storage, use or consumption, within the City.

B. Section 4-3-20, titled Definitions, is further amended to add the following new definitions: Economic Nexus means the connection between the City and a person not having a physical nexus in the state of Colorado, which connection is established when the person or marketplace facilitator makes retail sales into the City, and:

(A) In the previous calendar year, the person, which includes a marketplace facilitator, has made retail sales into the state exceeding the amount specified in C.R.S. § 39-26-102(3)(c), as amended; or

(B) In the current calendar year, ninety (90) days has passed following the month in which the person, which includes a marketplace facilitator, has made retail sales into the state of Colorado exceeding the amount specified in C.R.S. § 3926-102(3)(c), as amended.

This ordinance shall in no way limit application and enforcement of any statutes of the State of Colorado but shall be in addition thereto.

(d) In the case of multiple traffic offenses involving aggressive driving, the applicable penalty or penalty assessment shall be doubled for each traffic offense.

ant to this Part II shall not preclude impound where appropriate pursuant to Part IV. PART III: PARKING

The restrictions, procedures and penalties provided in this Part III shall be in addition to those provided in Part II. Section 1. Residential Parking Permit Areas

Purpose.

Sometimes persons in residential areas request assistance reducing hazardous traffic conditions resulting from nonresidents competing with residents to park their vehicles in certain residential areas; to protect those residential areas from polluted air, excessive noise, and refuse caused by the entry of nonresident vehicles; to protect residents from unreasonable burdens in gaining access to their residences; to preserve the character of residential areas; to promote efficiency in maintaining streets in residential areas in a clean and safe condition; to preserve the value of the property in residential areas; to promote traffic safety and the safety of children and other pedestrians in residential areas; and to promote the peace, comfort convenience, and welfare of all residents of the County.

Establishment.

The Board hereby establishes Residential Parking Permit Areas in the areas more particularly described in Exhibit A and Exhibit C as may be amended from time to time by motion of the Board of County Commissioners, attached hereto and incorporated herein.

Parking Without Permit Prohibited.

It shall be unlawful for any motor vehicle to be parked on a public street within the Residential Parking Permit Areas, more particularly described in Exhibit A, between the hours of 8:00 A.M. and 3:00 P.M. on weekdays, excepting holidays, from July 30 through May 30, inclusive, unless the vehicle properly displays a parking permit authorized by this ordinance.

It shall be unlawful for any motor vehicle to be parked on a public street within the Residential Parking Permit Areas, more particularly described in Exhibit C, between the hours of 7:00 A.M. and 3:00 P.M. on weekdays, excepting holidays, from July 30 through May 30, inclusive, unless the vehicle properly displays a parking permit authorized by this ordinance.

The Division of Engineering Services shall post appropriate signs within the areas more particularly described in Exhibit C, advising motorists of the days and hours when motor vehicle parking within said area shall be prohibited except by permit.

Penalty.

Any person who violates any of the provisions of this Part III on any public street or public facility commits a Class A Traffic Infraction, and upon conviction thereof, shall be punished by a fine of seventeen dollars ($17.00) for each separate violation. Any person who violates any of the provisions of this ordinance on any private road or private facility commits a Class 2 Petty Offense, and upon conviction thereof, shall be punished by a fine of twenty-five dollars ($25.00) for each separate violation. The penalty assessment procedure provided in C.R.S. § 16-2-201, may be followed by the arresting officer for any such violation of this ordinance. In the event that a violation of the Part II exists which is outside the scope of this Part III, the violations may be treated as two separate violations and two penalties may be assessed. The penalties prescribed in this Part III shall not preclude impound where appropriate pursuant to Part IV.

Defenses.

It shall be a defense that the area was not properly marked with the relevant restriction at the time the violation notice is issued. It shall further be a defense that the violation was the result of direction of a Law Enforcement Officer or at the direction of an Official Traffic Control Device. It shall not be a defense to a violation otherwise contained herein if the property is improperly or not designated in the attached exhibits so long as the County was authorized to restrict and/or enforce parking restrictions in such area. It shall not be a defense that the Owner of the vehicle was not the person who placed the vehicle or allowed the vehicle to be placed in the restricted area(s) and such Owner shall be responsible for all violations involving the owner’s vehicle(s). It shall not be a defense that an Official Traffic Control Device was not placed pursuant to a designated procedure so long as the location and nature of the restriction is clearly posted.

Permits.

A. The owner, owners, lessee or lessees of each residential unit within the residential parking permit area may be issued one or more permits which shall allow a motor vehicle to which it is affixed to be parked within the area without regard to the parking restrictions imposed by this ordinance. No more than three permits may be issued for each residential unit, unless good cause is shown for issuance of additional permits. A resident permit shall consist of a numbered decal which shall be permanently affixed to the lower left corner of the rear window of the motor vehicle.

B. The owner or owners of each residential unit within a parking permit area may also be issued up to five (5) visitor permits. A visitor permit shall allow the motor vehicle in which it is displayed to be parked within the area without regard to the parking restrictions imposed by this ordinance. A visitor permit shall be placed on the front dash of the motor vehicle.

C. Permits shall be issued by the Division of Engineering Services based on satisfactory evidence of residency within the area.

D. Temporary permits. A contractor may obtain, at no cost, a reasonable number of temporary permits for vehicles of the contractor and the contractor’s employees for the period of time that the contractor is engaged in work within a residential parking zone, as specified on the permit.

Indie food show ready for Amazon Prime time ‘What’s on the Menu?’ features Parker restaurant

We didn’t plan the timing of all this.

We hope, with this release, it will help those seven businesses in growing and recovering.

BY NICK PUCKETT NPUCKETT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

What is the next step for you?

We plan to start scouting for Season Two in Tennessee. When we first started to scout, COVID happened, so we’re on a hold until everything is back, and until everything is open there’s nothing we can really do. We have to see what restaurants survive the pandemic. All seven (Denver) locations are still open, so that makes me happy. For them it’s tough to survive something like this, and they’ve fared pretty well.

An independent food series starring a former Parker resident is now available to the public.

“What’s on the Menu? With Michelle Ullmann” is available on Amazon Prime Video after two years of shooting and editing. Michelle Ullmann hosts the show teaching viewers complex intricacies of the restaurant business.

Ullmann features seven Denver-area restaurants, from Aurora to the Tech Center to downtown. The first episode in the series features La Baguette de Normandy, a French bakery and restaurant in Parker.

Ullmann and her family moved from Parker to Hendersonville, Tennessee, at the beginning of the year to begin shooting Season Two of the series in the Nashville area. Shooting has been delayed due to COVID-19, Ullmann said.

The Parker Chronicle interviewed Ullmann about her journey to bring “What’s on the Menu?” to life.

What was your initial reaction?

Relieved, and also a little bit stressed.

Now that it’s out there, are we going to grab the viewers’ attention now? It feels really, really good to be done with the “doing” of the show for Season One. I’m a little stressed for the next step, and that’s back to the producer hat, and I’m also excited for Season Two.

What has life been like for you as you look toward the next season?

Fairly hectic. We have four kids, who have been doing virtual schooling for the first day. We got them settled into school and got them packed. My father had been sick, so we’ve been back and forth between Arizona. My husband does a lot of the editing, working probably 40-50 hours a week at his day job and working for me 20 hours on the weekend. He’s been supportive and working more hours than I’d want to ask him for.

What do you do this for?

We want to support that idea that … everybody has their favorite chains — they are tried and true — but when you go somewhere new, ask a local because they’re going to be the ones that know the best locally owned places to eat.

They’ll happily tell you nine times out of 10. They love to talk about it. All you have to do is ask.

Michelle Ullmann, host of “What’s on the Menu? With Michelle Ullmann” is preparing for her second season on the show in Tennessee as the first one, featuring a Parker restaurant, is officially available to stream on Amazon.
