The Sudden Fiction bookstore is nestled in the basement of the Ecclesia Market in Castle Rock.

Like a scene straight out of a book, Sudden Fiction’s decor includes vintage high-backed green velvet chairs, a matching couch, various era posters and — of course — walls and walls of books.

While America has seen the

decline of large brick-and-mortar bookstores over the years, coowner Gina McReynolds said she and partner Joe Durst knew their little independent bookstore would survive in a tough economy.

“Actually, it’s common to think that bookstores are becoming obsolete,” said McReynolds. “But over the past five years independent bookstores are seeing a surge.”

The duo opened the store in June 2019, in an office upstairs in the Ecclesia Market that occupied 105 square feet and contained eight bookshelves. They moved downstairs to their current space, which SEE BOOKSTORE, P19

A group seeking to oust four members of the Douglas County School Board has formally initiated the recall process and now awaits the green light from Douglas County’s clerk and recorder to begin collecting signatures on petitions.

Castle Rock resident Nate Ormond, who is spearheading the effort, submitted proposed petitions to the county on Feb. 2, seeking approval to start the signature-gathering process in hopes of recalling directors Christina Ciancio-Schor, Susan Meek, Elizabeth Hanson and board President David Ray. “We’re ready to rock and roll,” Ormond said.

The proposed petitions allege directors have shown a “lack of leadership” by frequently shifting plans during COVID-19, and claims they mismanaged tax dollars by purchasing an e-learning program that weathered a rocky launch to the school year.

The petitions also say board directors have shown a “lack of trust and transparency” by not being responsive enough to emails and by disregarding survey results, and claims they “misled the public on the departure of their superintendent.”

Governor’s powers, health care reform to take center stage State Legislature to return Feb. 16 after month delay due to COVID-19

Room for agreement on medical cannabis

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Issues hanging over the 2021 session of the Colorado General Assembly include: Republicans’ objections to the governor’s far-reaching powers during the pandemic; an expected attempt by Democrats to advance a type of health care reform known as the “public option”; a slate of gun control bills; and a push to treat cannabis-based medicine the same as any other medication in K-12 schools.

As if the state Legislature didn’t have enough on its plate during the ongoing economic downturn wrought by COVID-19, other highprofile proposals are sure to draw heated debates at the Capitol.

State lawmakers convened for a three-day session in January, approving a handful of bills that — among other measures — renewed certain pandemic-related tax credits and retooled a relief program for minority-owned businesses in light of a court challenge that called its race-based criteria discriminatory.

Now, after a delay meant to protect against COVID-19, the Legislature is expected to return on Feb. 16 to continue this year’s legislative session, the roughly four-month period in which bills are passed.

Asked what his biggest targets are for the session, Republican Chris Holbert, state Senate minority leader, said with a laugh that his goal is “to not be asked that question.”

“It’s mathematically impossible to have goals unless the Democrats” agree, Holbert said, noting that Democrats still control both the state Senate and House and the governor’s office.

In Colorado’s third year of total statehouse control by Democrats after the 2018 election, here’s a look at the proposals likely to grab attention.

‘Not about the man named Polis’

After an 11-month stream of nearconstant executive orders related to the coronavirus, Republicans such

as Holbert, the state senator from Parker, are questioning whether a governor should have such a longstanding expansion of authority.

But Holbert draws a careful line: A Republican proposal may focus on how long a disaster emergency declaration — which can give a governor broader powers — can last before the governor has to depend on the state Legislature to extend it. But the proposal isn’t so much about changing the authority itself that exists under such a declaration, Holbert said.

However, Holbert did call into question the type of rulemaking that has come via state order during the pandemic.

He says he’s heard from constituents in Douglas County who assume Holbert decided that hair salons could only open at a certain percentage of their capacity or 10 people, or less, citing the type of public health rules Colorado has seen throughout the pandemic.

“I had nothing to do with that, and people want to know why,” Holbert said, arguing state lawmakers should have more say. A proposal might include giving the Legislature an opportunity to review rules made by executive order, he added.

“Right now, I think we understand that we don’t have that authority,” Holbert said.

Senate Republicans intend to float either a state-law or constitutional proposal — if it’s a constitutional change, it would come as a referred measure to state voters — to ask about the timeline for future statewide disaster emergencies, Holbert said.

“Should the Legislature have to (weigh in) in 30 days? Sixty days?

Ninety? Six months? A year?” Holbert asked.

The senator framed the issue as centered on future potential emergencies — no matter who the gov-

ernor is. “This isn’t about the man named Jared Polis,” Holbert said.

If Republicans were to target Polis’ current authority “relative to where we are right now, Democrats would kill that in (legislative) committee. So that would be a short conversation,” Holbert said.

But he took issue with Colorado’s classification of certain businesses as “nonessential” or noncritical, a move that placed them under restrictions other “critical” businesses were spared. He heard of a tobacco store in the Parker area that attempted to stay open against pandemic-related orders, while nearby, big-box stores were able to sell tobacco.

“So it wasn’t the product, and it wasn’t the size of the store because you could see small liquor stores, and for some reason those were essential. A person could visit a small cannabis dispensary (in Arapahoe County),” Holbert said.

A potential proposal could arise on that matter, Holbert said. He

added: “Again, not to interfere with what Polis has done now or to criticize him, but in the future, why can’t small (businesses stay open)?”

State House Speaker Alec Garnett thanked the governor for his approach in responding to the pandemic.

“If we want to have a more robust discussion about the Legislature’s role and how this is all supposed to work in the next pandemic, I don’t think it’s an appropriate time (for that) when we’re toward the end of this crisis,” said Garnett, a Democrat of Denver.

“I don’t want to cast any disparaging light on what this governor has accomplished,” the House leader added.

Health care focus amid virus

Democrats heard during election season that health-care costs remain a “No. 1 priority” for Coloradans, Garnett said.

Douglas County School District launches hybrid learning Middle and high schools transition to hybrid from remote

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The Douglas County School District made the decision to launch hybrid learning Feb. 8 for middle and high school students who have been learning remotely so far this semester.

During the Feb. 2 school board meeting, Interim Superintendent Corey Wise recommended starting middle and high schools with a “Hybrid 2.0” model beginning Feb. 8.

“It’s not going to be perfect. We are going to be growing. We Wise are going to be improving,” Wise said.

But the superintendent said some in-person learning is better than none as the district grapples with how to administer education amid the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

The new hybrid plan will offer completely “synchronous” or live learning, where students are either in the classroom or remotely patching in from home. That differs from the previous hybrid model, where students alternated between in-person learning days and independent learning days.

Wise repeated his stance that schools are safe for students during the COVID-19 pandemic and said district leaders are encouraging students to take up hybrid learning as the district transitions models.

Still, students uncomfortable with returning to hybrid can contact schools to arrange attending class remotely while other classmates in their cohorts are physically in the classroom for inperson learning days.

Jacob Hall, a member of the student advisory group and Castle View High School senior, said students drafted a survey sent to the student body earlier that afternoon, asking for their preference between full remote and hybrid learning.

The survey already generated 4,000 responses, he said. Of those early returns, 54% of students preferred staying remote, he said.

Public comment during the meeting lasted hours. Roughly two dozen speakers voiced support for some form of in-person learning — if not 100% in-person, then hybrid instruction.

Speakers said students’ mental health and opportunities for socialization are suffering greatly during remote education. While some students and educators may prefer remote, other students’

grades are falling drastically, speakers said.

Student Caitlyn Clancy said students’ engagement with remote education has fallen off, with some peers leaving cameras off or sleeping through classes. She asked for an option allowing 100% in-person learning.

“At what point did we lose the right to go to school?” she asked.

Not everyone agreed. Several students and teachers echoed calls made during the last school board meeting — that the district should keep secondary students in remote learning because hybrid is difficult for educators to conduct and could be less consistent.

Abygail Mayberry, a freshman at Castle View High School, said she struggled to pass classes during hybrid learning first semester.

She suffered anxiety attacks as her grades fell but said remote learning this semester improved her mental health and her academic performance.

“Last semester I can’t tell you how many times I couldn’t sleep,” she said.

Hybrid learning could also pose a health risk before teachers can be widely vaccinated as new mutations of the virus spread in the state, proponents of remote learning said.

Student Ethan Reed submitted a letter to the board in January urging schools to stay in remote education, which was signed by students, educators and parents.

The letter gathered more than 300 signatures as of Feb. 2, he said.

Community member Christa Gilstrap sent a letter to Wise and board directors on Feb. 2 urging a 100% in-person learning option, or hybrid learning as a backup, which she said garnered more than 1,000 signatures as of the time it was submitted.

School board directors voiced unanimous support for proceeding with hybrid learning during Feb. 2 discussions. Board President David Ray said comments from Tri-County Health Department Executive Director John Douglas, who spoke positively of the district’s planned return to hybrid learning, helped drive his decision.

“Even though I think we’ve heard that hybrid is probably one of the hardest models to implement,” Ray said.

Director Elizabeth Hanson said district administration had addressed everything she wanted to see in a hybrid learning plan — synchronous learning, accommodating students who prefer remote, and addressing teachers concerns.

She also asked for community support as the district makes the transition.

“We need your tolerance and your grace for our teachers to make this succeed,” she said.

Denver metro counties move to looser rules in level yellow Colorado finalizes color-coded ‘dial 2.0’ of COVID-19 restrictions

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

In the latest ratcheting down of Colorado’s COVID-19 restrictions, the state public-health department confirmed it would drastically ease the limits that allow counties to remain in certain color-coded levels of coronavirus restrictions.

The “dial 2.0” changes put Denver metro counties in level yellow, promising loosened businesscapacity restrictions, according to information from the state publichealth department as of Feb. 5.

Some would even sit close to entering the notably low blue level.

The changes were to take effect 9 a.m. Feb. 6, according to a Feb. 5 news release from the department.

In the Denver metro area, Adams, Arapahoe, Douglas, Denver, Jefferson, Elbert and Broomfield counties — all in level orange under the previous rules — moved to yellow under the new framework on Feb. 6.

Counties now enter level yellow starting at about 100 new COVID019 cases per 100,000 people within one week, a measure known as a county’s incidence rate.

The state’s new framework starts

measuring the rate in one-week periods rather than 14-day chunks.

The line a county needs to cross to enter level red was set to change drastically in the new rules. Rather than 350 new cases per 100,000 people over a two-week period, the threshold essentially changes to 1,000. The line for level orange, the level nearly all counties were operating in as of early February, was 175. Now, it’s 600. Level yellow’s threshold changes from 75 to 200.

Technically, the new thresholds are about 500 for red, 300 for orange and 100 for yellow over oneweek windows.

Elbert County’s two-week rate sat at 236 — or, roughly, just over 100 for a one-week rate — as of Feb. 5, placing it close to entering level blue, one level below yellow, if the virus’s spread drops. Jefferson County sat close behind at 256.

The move comes as the number of vaccinated Coloradans continues to grow, Jill Hunsaker Ryan, the department’s executive director, said in an earlier news release.

“Since the dial’s last major change in November, Colorado has begun distributing COVID-19 vaccines throughout the state,” Hunsaker Ryan said in the Feb. 5 announcement. “More people now have immunity to COVID-19, including people over 70 and frontline health care workers. This relieves the strain on our hospital system.”

‘I’ll take anything with more capacity’ Some area restaurants got a jump on less-restrictive COVID-19 rules

BY ELLIOTT WENZLER EWENZLER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Some Douglas County businesses were able to operate under more lenient restrictions after the state gave permission Feb. 2.

Instead of 25% capacity or 50 people, restaurants and gyms certified by the county were given approval to operate at 50% capacity or 50 people, whichever is fewer.

“I’ll take anything with more capacity,” said Brandi Fehringer, owner of Rory’s Diner in Parker.

“I’ll take what I can get at this point.

I’d much rather have people dining in than trying to convince them to eat outside in the snow.”

That decision from the state comes after the county’s number of cases of COVID-19 per 100,000 people, or incidence rate, was below 350 for seven days, meeting the state’s level orange requirements on the dial.

This meant certified businesses could operate under the looser level yellow restrictions.

The move came just days before Gov. Jared Polis announced that the state’s new COVID-19 Dial 2.0 would go into effect as of Feb. 6. The move placed Douglas County and many other metro-area counties in level

yellow. It’s possible that under this new dial, the county’s certified businesses could soon move to operating at level blue restrictions.

The state’s dial program has been used throughout the COVID-19 pandemic to set countywide restrictions based on the severity of local virus spread.

“We congratulate Douglas County’s residents and businesses for their role in reducing COVID-19 transmission here,” according to a statement from the county com-

missioners, released through a spokesperson. “Their dedication to a healthier community led to the public health metrics we have today, creating the opportunity for our 5 Star Businesses to open with greater capacity while adhering to the COVID safety measures required of this program.”

The county’s COVID Best Practices Business Certification Program is the local version of the state’s 5 Star program. Both programs are designed to allow approved busi-

nesses, which have been certified by the county after taking extra measures to reduce the spread of the virus, to operate a level lower than other local businesses.

The local program was first approved for the county Dec. 23. At the time, the county was in level red on the state’s dial, which disallowed any indoor dining and greatly restricted businesses such as gyms.

Once the program was approved, certified businesses were able to operate in level orange, which allows limited indoor dining.

However, when on Dec. 30 Polis announced he was moving all level red counties to level orange — even when they didn’t meet the appropriate data — all county businesses, including those certified, were allowed to operate at that level.

CDPHE clarified that for 5 Star businesses to be allowed to operate under level yellow, their counties would have to actually meet the required level orange data for seven days. As of Feb. 2, that stipulation has been met by Douglas County, according to an email from CDPHE to the county.

“It’s changed so many times ... it makes people a little unsure,” Fehringer said. “We all try to do whatever to keep things safe.”

Fehringer said the Parker community has been incredibly supportive of her business during this difficult period.

“Things are good,” Fehringer said.

“I wish they were better.”

With new vaccine schedule, 70 and older still prioritized Eligiblity started Feb. 8 for Coloradans 65 to 69, school workers

Colorado’s updated vaccine schedule

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM More updates to Colorado’s coronavirus vaccine schedule have pushed some groups closer to the front of the line, but public health officials emphasize that Coloradans 70 and older who haven’t yet been vaccinated still have priority.

“With this additional group that’s being added, doesn’t that basically push anyone in the 70-orolder category further down the list by adding to the pool?” asked a caller from Douglas County during a live virtual town hall Feb. 4 that discussed vaccine distribution.

Meredith Brown, a school nurse liaison for Tri-County Health Department, responded that vaccine providers are still prioritizing people 70 and older — and said that’s the directive from the state.

“The state announces eligibility ahead of time to prevent lag time,” said Brown, whose health department serves Adams, Arapahoe and Douglas counties. She added: “We wouldn’t want to get done with the 70-plus group and have any time” wasted in getting to others.

Seniors won’t get displaced in line by teachers, according to a frequently-asked-questions page from the state public-health department in late January.

“Pre-K-12 teachers and child-care workers are in Phase 1B.2 of the phased distribution plan, and they will get their vaccines through their employer and will not utilize the same vaccine sign up system as people 65 and older,” the page says.

About halfway to goal for 70-plus Roughly 191,000 Coloradans 70 or older had received a first vaccine dose, according to a frequently asked questions page from the state publichealth department in late January.

The state aims to vaccinate 70% of Coloradans ages 70 and older by Feb. 28. That totals about 394,000 people, according to the page.

“We’re about 47% of the way to our goal,” the page says.

ule, as of Feb. 4, notes: “As we move through phases, people in previous phases remain eligible.”

Here’s a look at some questions and answers from Tri-County’s town hall and recent information from the state public-health department on who can get the vaccine and when.

More seniors, school workers up next Coloradans ages 65 to 69 reached eligibility for the vaccine on Feb. 8, according to a governor’s office news release.

Colorado’s school workers for grades pre-K through 12 also reached eligibility Feb. 8 and should reach out to their employers to sign up for

Better read this if you are 62 or older and still making mortgage payments.

It’s a well-known fact that for many older Americans, the home is their single biggest asset. And with interest rates near all-time lows while home values are still high, this combination creates the perfect dynamic for getting the most out of your built-up equity.

But many aren’t taking advantage of this unprecedented period. According to new statistics, senior homeowners in the U.S. are now sitting on more than 7.7 trillion dollars* of unused home equity. It’s not surprising that more than a million homeowners have already used a government-insured Home Equity Conversion Mortgage (HECM) loan to turn their home equity into extra cash for retirement.

It’s a fact, with a government-insured HECM loan, no monthly mortgage payments are required; however, the borrowers are still responsible for paying for the maintenance of their home, property taxes, homeowners insurance, and, if required, their HOA fees.

Today, HECM loans are simply an effective way for homeowners 62 and older to get the extra cash they need to enjoy retirement. The cash from a HECM loan can be used for almost any purpose. Other common uses include making home improvements, paying off medical bills, or helping other family members. Some people simply need the extra cash for everyday expenses while others are now using it as a safety net for financial emergencies.

Trading in GameStop vs.

Investing in the Market Are you getting dizzy trying to keep up with the unfolding news about GameStop and all the other Reddit-driven, short-sale squeezed, redhot trades o’ the day? By the time you read this, the meteoric, late-January rise of a number of stocks that had been short-sold by various hedge funds may already have fizzled out. Or not.

Either way, I’m not worried. If there’s not one tantalizing, “BUY NOW!” opportunity in play, there’s always another one just around the bend.

What should you do to make the most of these opportunities?

Sorry to be a spoilsport, but if your goal is to build lasting wealth based on your personal financial goals, the answer is: Nothing. You should ignore these hot trading tips, because none of them are, in fact, investing. They’re just random trades.

The Wall Street Journal columnist Jason Zweig explained it like this, when describing his own experiments with RobinHood: “You can’t invest without trading, but you can trade without investing. … [T]hinking you’re investing when all you’re doing is trading is like trying to run a marathon by doing 26 one-mile sprints right after the other.”

By definition, trading is a messy, cutthroat, zero-sum game. For every trader who gets to buy low and sell high, there must be a pair of traders on the other side, who were willing to sell low and buy high.

Investing, on the other hand, smooths out the ride, and offers more reliable (if still not guaranteed) outcomes. Over time and around the globe, winning and losing traders converge, and create market growth. Their volatile trading games translate into long-term market returns.

Investors can capture these returns by buying and patiently holding broad market positions, based on their willingness, ability, and need to take on investment risks in exchange for expected market returns.

As an investor, it’s really that simple.

As a trader? If anything, recent adventures in trading land should underscore how impossible it is to predict where any given stock, sector, or forecast is headed next. All the more reason to bet on the efficiency of a long-term, globally diversified portfolio, and to leave the GameStop gambles to the traders.

Reports of aircraft noise rise in Highlands Ranch

BY ELLIOTT WENZLER EWENZLER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Longtime Highlands Ranch resident Jim McCarthy spends as much time as possible outdoors.

With a house on the edge of open space, he takes walks, gardens and just hangs out in the backyard. But recently, his peaceful time outside has been disturbed, he said.

“I’ve noticed over the last year or year and a half unbelievably loud, low-flying planes,” McCarthy said.

“I hear planes all the time.”

McCarthy, 68, has been researching the possible causes and reaching out to Centennial Airport, local leaders and others to see if there’s anything that can be done about the issue.

He’s not the only Highlands Ranch resident complaining about the noise, though. In 2019, Centennial Airport received 38 noise complaints from Highlands Ranch. In 2020, the number climbed to 245 complaints, according to data provided by the airport.

While many of these complaints come from just a handful of households, Centennial Airport acknowledges that some of the added noise impact in Highlands Ranch could be because of recent increases in pilot training sessions following a nationwide shortage of pilots. Many of the flight schools that take off from Centennial Airport head to Chatfield Reservoir to practice and in doing so, pass over Highlands Ranch, said Rachel Keller, a noise and planning specialist with the airport.

LEGISLATURE FROM PAGE 2

“There is no doubt that the pandemic has underscored the gap in health (care) for Coloradans,” with costs standing as a hurdle for families trying to make ends meet, Garnett said.

Last year, Democratic lawmakers envisioned a type of “public option,” which would have added a government-overseen program alongside current private health insurance. Supporters of a public option say it would drive costs down by creating more competition for private companies.

The state government would have overseen the program, but private insurance carriers would have administered it and held the financial risk, according to a fact sheet by the state, which referred to the plan as a public-private partnership.

The pandemic upended last year’s legislative session, but Democrats are back this year with a modified proposal that tweaks the possible Colorado public option — and tries a less government-driven approach first.

Dubbed the Colorado Health Insurance Option, it’s what’s known as a total-cost-of-care proposal that would set cost-reduction goals for health insurance premiums that Coloradans pay.

Under the plan, insurance companies would negotiate reimbursement rates — the amounts that insurance companies pay out — with hospitals,

The Highlands Ranch Metro District is also on the case, according to a written statement from Andy Jones, a member of the metro district’s board of directors.

Jones encouraged any residents with concerns about the aircraft noise to participate in the Centennial Airport Community Noise Roundtable, a monthly meeting made up of local elected officials, airport staff, the Federal Aviation Administration and others.

Residents are able to listen to and comment in the virtual meetings, which begin at 6:30 p.m. on the first Wednesday of each month, by visiting centennialairportnoise.com.

Possible reasons

In his statement, Jones said recent changes in flight paths in the metro area have added “additional noise impacts” to Douglas County residents and added that flight school operations could also be a reason for the increase.

Centennial Airport, one of the busiest general aviation airports in the country with more than 900 takeoffs and landings per day, has been open since 1968. The airport, located south of Arapahoe Road and east of I-25, has slowly become surrounded by homes and apartments.

“It becomes a balancing act,” said Michael Fronapfel, the director of planning and development for the airport. “As more and more residential has been built around Centennial, the locations (flight schools) can go has considerably shrunk.”

While Centennial Airport’s overall pharmaceutical companies and other health-care industry entities to enable the lower premium costs that consumers would pay, according to Jarrett Freedman, spokesman for state House Democrats.

The proposal would put the totalcost-of-care model in effect for years 2023 and 2024, and if the proposal’s insurance premium-reduction goals aren’t met, then in 2025, a plan for a Colorado public option would take effect.

That system in 2025 may look more like a traditional public option compared to last year’s idea, with the government entirely running the program rather than overseeing private insurers’ administration of it.

But if insurers are able to meet the goals, any creation of a state-backed public option would be delayed until the targets are no longer met, according to a fact sheet on the plan.

Individuals and small employers would be able to purchase insurance through the plan, the sheet says.

Holbert argued that if lawmakers want to make health care more affordable or accessible, they should “get government out of it.”

“They like to call it the public option, but it’s government interference and it’s price controls, and it means that some or most will pay more while fewer will pay less,” Holbert said.

Stakeholders in the health care industry have said they share the goal of cost reduction and want flexibility to meet them rather than having the state “force anything on top of us,” Garnett said.

operations were reduced in 2020, the increase in complaints could be due to the increased pilot training and the fact that many residents in Highlands Ranch worked from home for much of the year, Keller said.

The airport, which does not determine flight patterns for aircraft using its runways, is also limited in airspace by Denver International Airport, said Deborah Smith, public information officer with the airport.

“We have a very strong relationship with our tenants and flight schools,” Smith said. “One thing we focus on is raising pilot awareness.”

The airport has a FlyQuiet program, a voluntary noise reduction program designed to help minimize aircraft noise through pilot education and awareness, Smith said. The program distributes information to pilots, flight schools and air traffic controllers about preferred flight paths over the least populated areas.

Keller asks that any residents experiencing excessive noise to submit complaints online by visiting centennialairport.com and selecting “noise” then “track and report noise” in the menu.

For McCarthy, he’s just hoping something can be done to restore his peaceful time outside.

“I’m outside all the time and I love being outside,” he said.

He says part of him hesitates to bring up the issue, with everything else going on in the world.

“There’s more important things to be worrying about,” he said. “It’s just something I wish we could minimize.”

“What we’re trying to do is set goals for price reduction that are going to help Coloradans. Give insurers the option to work with hospitals and pharma and different players in the industry to set premiums … to achieve a goal,” Garnett said.

‘Citizen control’

Three gun-control bills face good odds in the Democrat-led Legislature: This year could see proposals regarding requirements for storing firearms safely, a waiting period for purchasing firearms, and a duty to report lost or stolen firearms.

Holbert characterized the proposals as “citizen control” bills.

“They don’t really seem to do anything about criminals but seem to (affect) law-abiding citizens,” Holbert added.

For Garnett, the focus is partly on Colorado’s suicide rates and preventing suicides that involve a firearm, he said, adding: “We all support the Second Amendment.”

“I really don’t understand why these proposals seem to be as partisan as they are,” Garnett said. “The goal is to improve responsible gun ownership.”

The House speaker called the proposals “narrowly focused” and ones that have been beneficial in other states. He argues they’ll be tailored to address the outlined goal, as with 2019’s Extreme Risk Protection Order bill, Garnett argued. That’s known as Colorado’s “red flag” law.

“The number of talking points around the ERPO have not come true,” Garnett said.

RECALL FROM PAGE 1

Delays to school and problems with both the e-learning and hybrid models also caused “lost learning opportunities,” the petitions allege.

Ray and Ciancio-Schor were not immediately available for comment.

Meek called the recall effort “an expression of the division” within the community.

“The reality is, we are in the middle of the most complex school year in U.S. history, and our community, just like the rest of the nation, is pretty divided,” she said.

She criticized recall proponents who have spoken at recent board meetings for pushing the reopening of middle and high schools to full, in-person learning. The district can’t maintain that learning model while also socially distancing its students, she said.

Meek said she was not able to see the petition statements until after midnight, once the Feb. 2 board meeting concluded, but she refuted allegations the district is mishandling the pandemic.

She emphasized the district started its school year with hybrid learning and said “the in-person hybrid learning option stayed open longer than other metro districts.”

This semester, elementary students began with 100% in-person learning while secondary students worked with their teachers each day amid remote learning, she said.

That illustrates the district is working to balance public health risks with education needs, she said. Meek said that the cost of a recall election if proponents are successful would further burden the district, which this summer cut nearly $31 million from its budget amid the pandemic.

“It’s irresponsible to move forward with the the recall months before a scheduled election where the majority of seats will be up,” she said. “It’s wasteful and a distraction.”

Hanson called the challenges board directors faced in the past year “truly inconceivable.” The governor shuttered schools. The district made more than $30 million in budget cuts. Guidance for schools from “multiple agencies” constantly shifted, she said.

“I had two months on the board before we began navigating the unprecedented global pandemic,” she

said. “Then COVID turned the world upside down.”

Directors spent weeks during the summer laboring over how to make cuts to the district’s budget amid a massive shortfall, she said, saying some departments were almost cut entirely. Directors aimed to keep cuts away from the classroom and focused on central offices, she said.

Pushing back

Hanson rebutted the allegation that she has not shown sufficient leadership during the pandemic.

She works 40 to 60 hours a week in her volunteer position as a director, she said, and in school board meetings asked for the public’s patience while she responds to hundreds of emails a week as board secretary.

“I am proud of that and I will continue to put in those hours,” she said.

Hanson said the choice to purchase the district’s e-learning curriculum was a decision made by former Superintendent Thomas Tucker and former Chief Academic Officer Marlena Gross-Taylor under broadened authority that the directors gave the superintendent in March.

The purchase concerned her as well because it was large and staff informed the board of its purchase after the fact, she said.

She also said the district is balancing the need to get students back to any in-person learning with taking COVID-19 precautions required by state guidelines. She called hybrid learning the best compromise.

“I absolutely want kids to be inperson. We all agree that in-person learning is the best learning environment. I want to make sure we can do it safely,” she said. “I also think that when we have a lack of consistency, we see significant learning gaps.”

Douglas County Clerk and Recorder Merlin Klotz has seven days to approve or reject the proposed petitions from the time they are received. If the petitions get his approval, recall proponents have 60 days to gather signatures.

Klotz has informed the group its paperwork was not submitted correctly, a county spokeswoman said.

The group can submit its petitions for review again once they are properly formatted.

Ormond said the group has 400 volunteers enlisted to circulate petitions. Ormond estimated the effort SEE RECALL, P10

will require gathering 80,000 signatures, or 20,000 for each board member.

The county spokeswoman said no more than 15,000 valid signatures are required under state statute.

Drive would be pricey

The recall drive is also likely to be an expensive undertaking. Ormond has publicly pledged $100,000 of his personal funds to the cause, although he estimates the group would need to raise roughly $1 million in total.

Ormond said he registered a 501(c)4 called Road2Recall to collect donations and fund the recall effort.

On Jan. 25 the four directors targeted for recall issued a statement through Ray saying they understood “emotions are running high” regarding the best delivery of education for students during COVID-19.

They pledged to focus on what was best for students as the district navigates the remainder of this semester.

“We will continue to listen and consider all diverse perspectives (students, staff and parents) while adhering to public health guidance,” the statement said.

In the days leading up to filing recall petitions, Ormond told Colorado Community Media that the pandemic is not the group’s only concern but became the catalyst for pursuing a recall.

Directors had months during the summer to plan for conducting education amid COVID-19, he said, and should have been able to return stu-

February 11, 2021F dents to in-person learning sooner this semester.

“This board’s failure to implement a clear policy to keep the teachers safe and to allow the children to come back to in-person learning has just drastically failed,” he said.

Ormond said the virus poses a legitimate health risk and danger for high-risk populations, but that the state has laid out clear guidelines for conducting in-person learning safely.

“We know that masks are important, and they can be worn, and we know that we need to limit contact and quickly jump on contact tracing,” he said.

He faults directors for not having “figured out a way to implement those guidelines” and pointed to lowering COVID-19 incidence rates in the county as another supporting reason to reopen schools.

He grew frustrated watching the district pivot learning models multiple times during the 2020-21 school year, and he decided in early January to organize a recall effort.

While district schools mostly conducted hybrid learning during the first semester, the district switched back to full-remote learning amid mass quarantines and substitute teacher shortages before the semester’s end.

Elementary age students began the second semester in full in-person learning while middle and high schools are conducting full remote learning. On Feb. 2, directors signed off on a plan to return secondary students to some in-person learning with a “Hybrid 2.0” model starting Feb. 8.

Superintendent’s plan overruled

The district plan had been to

return secondary students to hybrid learning by Jan. 25, but board directors broke with that recommendation from interim Superintendent Corey Wise on Jan. 19, delaying the switch as the district received pushback from teachers and some students who preferred remote learning to hybrid.

Ormond said the search for a new superintendent is also a top concern for the Road2Recall group and he wants a new board to oversee the selection process.

The group hopes to recall and replace the four members of the board to gain a majority and then fill the remaining seats with candidates it supports during the November 2021 elections, he said.

Terms for directors CiancioSchor, Anthony Graziano, Krista Holtzmann and Kevin Leung all expire in November. The remaining board directors’ terms expire in 2023.

Roughly 60 people had expressed interest in serving as a candidate to replace the four directors, Ormond said.

If recall proponents successfully gather enough valid signatures and the incumbent does not resign, a special election would be scheduled to both recall the elected official and elect their successor at the same time.

An elected official is recalled if a majority of voters support removing them from office.

Ormond said he has already selected three people and is close to selecting a fourth candidate whom he would endorse to replace the current directors. He declined to name those individuals before candidates can formally register with the state.

Ormond said people from a variety of backgrounds have shown interest.

“Political party isn’t even a consideration. I haven’t even looked at that,” he said.

Several public speakers during the Feb. 2 board meeting voiced support for the recall effort as they urged directors to reopen secondary schools, if not to 100% in-person learning, than to hybrid learning.

workers, faith leaders, direct care providers for Coloradans experiencing homelessness and journalists.

That list includes restaurant workers, according to Denver-area news reports.

High-risk conditions include cancer, diabetes, coronary heart disease and many others. See a full list in the vaccine schedule chart at covid19. colorado.gov/for-coloradans/vaccine/vaccine-for-coloradans.

A caller in the Tri-County town hall from Adams County asked if she needs documentation from her doctor regarding her multiple high-risk conditions.

“We don’t know exactly what the documentation will look like for folks with those chronic conditions,” Brown said. But it’s a good idea for Coloradans to talk with their doctors and gather any available documents now to be ready when eligibility for the high-risk group comes, Brown added.

suffering without in-person instruction, said parents, students and at least one educator.

Other community members have voiced support for board directors at recent board meetings and cautioned against reopening schools.

Student activist and Legend High School senior Ethan Reed was one of several students to speak at the latest board meeting, urging directors against launching hybrid learning.

Reed has told Colorado Community Media that among his concerns are the emergence of new mutations in the virus that are more transmissible. He proposed keeping secondary schools in remote education until teachers can be widely vaccinated.

On Jan. 22, Reed submitted a letter to board directors undersigned by more than 120 other students, parents and educators in the district urging directors against a return to hybrid or in-person learning.

Kallie Leyba, president of the Douglas County Federation, the teachers’ union, has also expressed concern about a premature return to in-person learning, along with her opposition to a recall effort of board directors.

As talk of recalls brewed in January, Leyba stressed the district is facing myriad opinions about how to conduct school during COVID. Wise “clearly communicated” in January board meetings that the district switched to full remote learning last semester because of operational pressures on the system, she said, and not because district leadership felt it was better than in-person learning.

“It’s unfortunate that there is a vocal minority that continues to speak at board meetings about opening our schools with 100% attendance without regard to the realities that we were facing operationally,” she said.

Leyba said she is empathetic toward board directors and hopes the community will be as well.

“I would just really urge our community to consider the facts behind why the decisions that are being made are being made,” she said. “I feel for (directors).”

town hall from Littleton said she’s heard that some demographics, such as Hispanic and Black Americans, have higher rates of hospitalization due to COVID-19, asking why they aren’t prioritized for vaccination.

Brown responded that Tri-County Health and state officials are focusing on “vaccine equity” despite the fact that certain races aren’t prioritized in the vaccine schedule.

“The state is working on multiple equity initiatives, including supporting community-based clinics in rural and low-income areas, supporting transportation initiatives to ensure access to vaccine clinics, (and) promoting vaccine education and engagement with community-based organizations and businesses,” the state public-health department’s FAQ page says.

Multiple vaccine appointments?

The question of whether it’s OK to sign up for vaccine appointments from multiple sites to bolster hopes of securing one appointment also came up.

Brown replied that it isn’t a bad idea but said Coloradans who do so should notify health care providers if they no longer need a spot so that others aren’t unnecessarily blocked.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

School board not effective

As our community continues to contend with the ineptness of Douglas County School Board members as well as hear the rumblings of a potential recall, one group caught in the middle is voiceless, yet requires representation.

Our more than 3,600 teachers and hard working DCSD staff are sadly caught in the middle of a poor and toxic leadership situation and I honestly feel for them.

Much anecdotal evidence strongly suggests that more than half of teachers desire to be immediately reunited with their students for inperson teaching. And with hybrid learning finally approved, it’s clear decision making is being done out of political fear and not true leadership. This pressure coming from both colleagues and the roving eye of teacher union sycophants clamps down on dissent, leaving our wonderful educators both powerless and voiceless in this ongoing, abject failure of public school administration.

Some humorists rely on word confusion.

A conversation between Groucho and Chico (pronounced “Chick-o”) Marx was often a non-stop contest of mangled language at a dizzying speed.

There are so many wordplays in a Marc Brothers film, one after the other, I can’t assimilate them.

Therefore, every time I watch “Duck Soup” it seems new to me.

“I’ve got an uncle who lives in Texas.”

“Gentlemen, Cicolini here may talk like an idiot and look like an idiot. But don’t let that fool you: He really is an idiot.”

Accountability by any other name is still accountability

“T

here I was, alone in the kitchen, 30 days into the New Year and my personal goal of shedding 25 pounds by the summer. Working from home has been a gift and a struggle. Like WINNING most, the ease of slipping into com- WORDS fortable routines and working on my own schedule is a gift, especially managing work and a family. My hours, my time.

However, the other thing that Michael Norton became too easy was finding a little snack between meals, or even an extra treat at night. Hence the 25 pounds I now need to lose. When I read your article this week about ‘The Power of Accountability,’ and the idea of having accountability partners for different aspects of your life, I thought what a great idea. And then it hit me like a box of hidden Girl Scout cookies falling on my head. Before I go in search of any account-

ability partner, I need to start by looking in the mirror. I need to hold myself accountable before I ask anyone else to hold me accountable, because Mr. Norton, accountability by any other name is still accountability. Thank you, and I will email you again as I shed these pandemic pounds.” Rebecca Each week as I read and respond to the emails from our community, I find myself feeling that all of you wind up motivating and inspiring me with your stories of personal achievement. And thank you Rebecca for the inspiration for this column.

A few of the other emails I received contained this question, “What should I do if I do not have any accountability partners?”

This was not the first time I heard this type of question about accountability and the potential lack of an accountability partner, let alone partners.

Another reader shared that, “Accountability is a very personal thing, and I am accountable and responsible for myself and my actions. Thank you!” Yes, exclamation point included and heard.

Although the context of that email was a bit negative, I found myself agreeing with the message. Accountability is very personal. And just like Rebecca figured out, it starts with each one of us. We are the ones who will walk through the kitchen alone with temptation everywhere, walk past the treadmill in the bedroom and hang our clothes on it instead of getting in a walk or run, or possibly turn on the television instead of sitting down to write the book we have been putting off. As a salesperson sitting at our desk, do we find ourselves looking at our lead list instead of making the calls that we know we need to make?

When we choose to do anything else instead of what we need to do or get after what we desire most in life, we are the only ones who will see our reflection in the mirror when we brush our teeth, comb our hair, or shave. And we will know in those moments of personal accountability, what it is that we can and will do better the next time.

School board recall not needed

Who exactly is Nate Ormond?

What qualifies him to single-handedly select the next school board?

Why are 60 potential candidates willing to give him the authority to decide which of them is most capable of overseeing a district of 68,000 students? While he says he’s put-

ting his own money into the recall effort, this is something we’ll never be able to verify because he chose a “dark money” 501(c)(4) organization to fund the effort. This type of organization has no donor disclosure requirements. It also cannot legally spend more than 50% of its funds on political efforts. How will it be spending the other 50%?

In a Jan. 22 report by Denver7, Mr. Ormond was quoted as saying, “Six months ago, I couldn’t even tell you the name of the superintendent,” “I couldn’t tell you the names of any of the folks on the board.”

He doesn’t appear to have any

experience in education and hasn’t been involved in our school district until now. He only seems to have a difference of opinion on remote vs. in-person vs. hybrid learning.

As a parent who actually has been involved in the district since 2003, I require much more of our leaders.

We already have dedicated, caring, educated and experienced school board directors with relevant backgrounds, who carefully consider their decisions with the best interests of students in mind. There is no need to replace them.

Trader Joe’s looking at Parker location Public hearing for liquor license will be Feb. 18

BY ELLIOTT WENZLER EWENZLER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Trader Joe’s may be coming to Parker after the popular grocery store chain submitted a licensing application to the town in December.

The fermented malt beverage, or liquor license application, was made for a lot near the town’s Costco at 18374 Cottonwood Drive, Suite 150.

“At this time, we are in the very early stages and are taking the necessary steps to bring a store to the area,” said Kenya Friend-Daniel, a spokesperson with Trader Joe’s.

“I do not have a timeline to share at this time. I look forward to shar-

ing more information as I get it.”

The public hearing for the liquor license will be Feb. 18 during a Special Licensing Authority meeting.

Residents can join this meeting by visiting parkeronline.org/2118 and selecting the “Special Licensing Authority” meeting listed for that date.

Transmark, a local developer, has also submitted a site plan for the lot listed on Trader Joe’s application.

Trader Joe’s, which is a national chain, has seven other locations in Colorado with two stores in Denver and one each in Greenwood Village, south Jefferson County, Boulder, Colorado Springs and Fort Collins.

The store offers many unique products under its own brand.

“We can’t confirm anything yet but we do have an application for a liquor license on file,” Parker Mayor Jeff Toborg said. “We’re very excited.”

Marie was born in Clayton, NM on December 6, 1924. Parents Esteban and Caroline – Gould Garcia, raised 6 children.

Marie attended Sacred Heart Elementary.

At the tender age of 12 her beloved father passed on. This hardship required that she and her siblings work to support their widowed mother.

She met the love of her life, Sam J. Chavez, while attending the wedding of his sister.

Engaged during the war, upon Sam’s return they wed on November 4, 1945.

Sam and Marie raised their children in Littleton, Lakewood, and Elizabeth, CO. Their family business of 75 years, Sam’s Automotive, continues to thrive in Englewood, CO. Marie’s passion was her commitment to marriage and motherhood. In raising her

O

n Oct. 21, Chuck Coughlin was visiting his wife’s grave in a Boulder cemetery when he noticed a woman visiting her husband’s grave.

He saw her name — Marj O’Reilly — on the tombstone next to her husband’s and made a comment about how her first name was similar to his mother’s.

Not the best pick-up line, O’Reilly later joked.

The two struck up a conversation and found out they had a lot in common, and decided to meet again soon.

Before long, the two were in a relationship, and on New Year’s Day, Coughlin proposed. They recently set a date — June 11 — for their wedding.

All because they bumped into each other at the cemetery last October, O’Reilly said.

Just like their meeting, Coughlin and O’Reilly’s relationship during the pandemic has been unique.

And they’re not alone.

COVID-19 has forced couples across the Denver area to confront serious topics, such as health and politics, early in a relationship while eliminating many activities they might do on dates.

“Pandemic dating kind of expedites dating 10 times over,” said Blair Nelson of Denver, who met her boyfriend virtually last spring. “… We often joke that we’ve been together almost nine months, and it feels like we’ve been together for three years.”

Meanwhile, how to meet each other’s friends and family has varied from couple to couple, with many saying they’re taking precautions while others said they haven’t taken any.

Coughlin and O’Reilly, who live in Lakewood and Broomfield, respectively, have taken precautions by meeting loved ones virtually or outside with social distancing.

“Our families live so far apart,” Coughlin said, “I’m not sure it would’ve been any different (without the pandemic).”

O’Reilly felt that, by now, they at least would have connected more with their family members who live in Colorado, particularly over the holidays.

Nelson and her boyfriend, Patrick Marlin of Idaho Springs, have taken similar measures. Marlin met most of Nelson’s friends and coworkers virtually while Nelson met Marlin’s family outdoors at hikes and bonfires.

However, Nelson described how Marlin met her parents much earlier when her parents were in town while driving from Texas to Seattle for the summer.

Nelson and Marlin have also driven to Texas twice, and quarantined both times.

“We’ve been very careful when

we’re in public or traveling,” Marlin said, adding that they wear masks and clean their hands frequently.

“We haven’t gotten COVID yet, but some of that is probably luck.”

Finding things to do

Nelson said the pandemic prompted her to take a more serious look at her love life and have a greater interest in a relationship.

However, while other couples said they met through dating apps and websites during the pandemic, Nelson knew that wasn’t for her.

Instead, she took the premise behind online dating, and applied it to her professional network. She described how, in May, she sent out a very honest and vulnerable newsletter-like email about herself and what she was looking for in a partner to 110 people, asking if they knew anyone who would be a good fit.

Marlin’s cousin was one of the recipients and set them up virtually, as Marlin was actually in North Carolina.

As a someone in business-to-business sales with a part-time bartending gig, Marlin recalled spending a lot of time alone in his apartment, and getting an email one day about Nelson.

The two described how they texted for a few weeks before their

first phone call.

In July, Marlin packed everything he could in his car and headed back to Colorado. The two had planned their first in-person date on July 17.

It didn’t go well.

Marlin recalled how the restaurant they went to had terrible food and drinks, so they left, got groceries and cooked at home.

“I think it was too much pressure after months of talking,” he continued.

However, things went much better after that, and because of the pandemic, Marlin described how they would spend a few days together rather than a few hours on a date.

Hiking, biking, skiing and camping have been very popular activities for Marlin and Nelson, as well as others. As for indoor activities, couples said they’ve also spent time cooking; doing puzzles and coloring books; and playing card, board and video games together.

“It’s hard to get reservations and capacities are limited,” Nelson said. “We didn’t have ballgames or

concerts or the ease of spontaneity.

We really had to plan and be intentional about things.”

In each other’s bubble

While they hadn’t contracted COVID-19 as of late January, Marlin and Nelson said they’d dealt with a few potential exposure scares and subsequent quarantines. They’ve discussed the likelihood of both of them getting it if one of them contracts it, and decided they’re going to support each other if that happens.

Arguably, the bigger concern has been keeping their loved ones safe, explaining that they were going to quarantine for a week before visiting family in late January.

Other individuals in relationships, especially those who live alone, consider them and their significant other as in the same bubble, so if one of them gets COVID, they’ll probably both get it.

Performances will also be

All throughout their relationship, the two have been emailing and video-chatting almost every day.

They also went hiking and walking together a lot.

“I think (COVID-19) made us more cautious with each other,” O’Reilly said of their initial interactions.

Now the two, who are both in their 70s, have received their second doses of the COVID-19 vaccine, and are looking forward to getting married in June.

Both of them came from very

happy marriages, and their widowhood was something helped them bond so quickly and deeply. Coughlin and O’Reilly also both lost their spouses to cancer-related complications in March 2020 and December 2018, respectively.

Finding someone who understood that loss and who was able to support them through it was providential, they described.

“I was so blessed to find this woman,” Coughlin said. “The chances of finding each other are so low.”

alone in their apartments, they were thankful to have someone in their lives to support them, especially through job loss, stress and anxiety, and other pandemic-caused issues.

Photographer’s love of outdoors shows in art Animals are frequent subject in images captured by longtime veterinarian

BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

“We could hear them, but could hardly see them,” said Judy (Spurling) Deist of a favorite photograph she shot of prairie chickens — in a blizzard on Colorado’s plains. “We went back to get another shot ... I take whatever is there — not a good thing for a photographer, business-wise.” All of her photos are shot in color, “but sometimes they come out looking black and white” (as in her “Blizzard Tree” photo).

She fondly recalls photographing a flock of snow geese that “sounded like an airplane taking off ...”

“There are always animals included in my photos if they’re around,” said Deist, who has practiced veterinary medicine in Littleton as Dr. Judith H. Spurling since 1966. “I cared for ferrets and did surgery on a rat,” she recalls, in addition

to the usual furry friends.

She says she is “semi-retired” from that career and just doing photography now.

In the 1950s she inherited a “Brownie” box camera which had black and white film and “you had to look down into a lens to see what you were taking.”

“When I went off to college, my father gave me an Agfa Solina 35mm camera which was entirely manual.

That meant you set the lens yourself and had to compensate for low light or bright light.”

Her mother was a professional artist who had space on Canyon Road in Santa Fe and also painted with the Douglas County Land Conservancy artists ...

Deist is an active member of the Littleton Fine Arts Guild and exhibits her work in the Depot Art Gallery in downtown Littleton.

“Always being an outdoor person, I loved the scenes of mountains, rainbows and clouds ... Subjects that are of special interest to me are horses, spectacular Colorado sunsets with colorful clouds, sparkling snow on a mountains, or on a fence, and of course, fall colored aspens in our mountains.

Horses and cattle drives

with the dust behind and cattle dogs supply lots of action shots. The landscape in Colorado and Utah offers scenes of geographic areas such as the Grand Canyon, majestic mountains, waterfalls and rivers.

hour and 45 minutes to get a wave in the correct position that I wanted with the spray and the curve of the wave just right.

“Watching birds and getting the right pose of a flamingo with the eye looking out of pink feathers is one way to connect with the animal.

“We moved three times in Littleton,” she recalls. “We had the first 24-hour veterinary hospital in Littleton, near the corner of Broadway and Belleview, built in the ‘70s. We invited other vets to share the 8,000-foot space. They declined. We would see people’s pets in the middle of the night and then encourage them to return to their original vets.” They built a smaller facility.

“With the veterinary career, I attended classes and meetings at scenic spots around the country ... I caught a pelican sitting on a power line, on Sanibel Island, tried to do wildlife.

I have lots of shots that are not yet edited.”

She was born in Alaska, lived in New York, Montana ... her mom played in the Santa Fe Orchestra.

Deist has 20 feet of notebooks, she says, and more than 35 pounds of camera equipment, with tripods, etc. ... She doesn’t do digital photography or Photoshop ...

She is a longtime active member of the Littleton Fine Arts Guild and readers should be able to view her work as soon as the historic Depot Art Gallery is able to reopen.

Airport provides grant to Tuskegee Airmen chapter Money to support a path to flight-industry careers for young people in need

ABOUT CENTENNIAL AIRPORT

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The Colorado chapter of a nonprofit that works to keep alive the history of the Tuskegee Airmen received a check from a local airport, a move expected to help “enable young people to pursue their dreams,” the chapter’s president said.

One of the major objectives of the nonprofit is to “encourage young people and let them know you can be excellent as well,” said Mark Dickerson, president of the Colorado chapter of Tuskegee Airmen Inc. The chapter honors the accomplishments and history of the Tuskegee Airmen, Black servicemen of the U.S. Army Air Corps — a precursor to the U.S. Air Force — who trained at Tuskegee Army Air Field in Alabama during World War II. They constituted the first African American flying unit in the U.S. military.

The chapter — named for Hubert L. “Hooks” Jones in order to commemorate the Denver aviator who died in 1975 — spreads the history of African Americans who participated in air crew, ground crew and operations support training in the

Army Air Corps during World War II, according to the chapter’s website.

Members of the chapter met with Robert Olislagers, director of Centennial Airport, on Jan. 29 at the airport to receive a financial grant of $6,000.

The money will go toward the chapter’s Mile High Flight Program, an effort that has lasted nearly 25 years, according to Dickerson, a retired Air Force colonel. The program provides flight training

through an independent company that operates at Centennial Airport.

“If they want to become a commercial pilot, military pilot, they have that option,” John Lamb, a volunteer fundraiser for the chapter, said of the youths who participate in the flight program. Once they get their license, the choice is theirs, Lamb added.

The program opens up the world of aviation for kids as young as 14 — generally, high-schoolers — by taking them to places such as the

Centennial Airport is a general aviation airport, which means it features flight training and medical evacuation, corporate charter, small cargo and recreational flights, among other uses — but commercial airline flights, like those on United or Southwest airlines, for example, are not part of the mix.

It opened May 12, 1968, as Arapahoe County Airport and is owned and operated by the Arapahoe County Public Airport Authority, a governmental body.

It is not located in the City of Centennial, which was formed long after the airport in 2001 — the airport changed its name to “Centennial” in 1984.

The airport sits at 7800 S. Peoria St., just south of Arapahoe Road and southeast of the Topgolf entertainment complex, near the middle of Centennial.

It is mostly in unincorporated Arapahoe County but extends south into Douglas County.

Based on Federal Aviation Administration data for fiscal year 2017, Centennial Airport ranked as the third-busiest general aviation airport in the nation, according to General Aviation News.

University of Colorado, Metropolitan State University of Denver, the U.S. Air Force Academy, and aerospace and scientific businesses in the Denver Tech Center area, Lamb said.

is about 1,000 square feet, in February 2020, shortly before the coronavirus pandemic would force businesses across the state to close their doors temporarily.

“We opened and were like `here we are! Then we were like `oh, now we’re closed,’” said McReynolds.

“But the community has been so supportive. Our holiday season was great. Through COVID, everyone has been committed to shopping local.”

McReynolds moved to Castle Rock from Denver three years ago, and said she was excited to embrace the small-town lifestyle, including quaint coffee shops, local boutiques and lounging at small bookstores.

The problem, she realized, was the lack of an independent bookstore in town.

“I really liked the small-town feeling, but then I realized there wasn’t a little bookstore that I could go to, so we decided to open one ourselves,” said McReynolds. “We both wanted to become business owners, and we’re both big readers, so we decided this was going to be it.”

Because of limited space, McReyn-

the first grant the airport has given the group, Lamb said. The entities have had “an ongoing relationship” because of the chapter’s Mile High Flight Program operations at the airport.

Volunteers at the chapter work with high school counselors around the Front Range to nudge kids toward applying for scholarships from the chapter, Lamb said.

Among the volunteers are Centennial City Councilmember Candace Moon and her husband, Vorry Moon, who also serves as chair of the chapter’s board of directors.

As a Reserve Officers’ Training Corps, or ROTC, cadet, two Documented Original Tuskegee Airmen were professors of aerospace sci-

ence, Vorry Moon said of his time in college. They encouraged him to join a chapter, Moon said.

Anyone who served at Tuskegee Army Air Field or in any of the programs stemming from what’s known as the “Tuskegee Experience” from 1941-49 is considered to be a Documented Original Tuskegee Airman, according to Tuskegee University. They are colloquially called DOTAs. For Candace Moon, Centennial Airport’s grant “shows what the community can do to uplift its youth,” she said.

“They are able to get opportunities that only come once in a lifetime,” Candace Moon said. “We’ve seen in the Mile High Flight Program how far children can go.”

Some of the aviators who went through the program in their youth are mentors for young people participating in it now, Dickerson said.

olds said she and Durst have to curate the collection carefully, buying books that they think readers will want, as well as managing donated books. Books that aren’t put on the shelves are donated to local charities.

Sudden Fiction carries new and used books, in just about every genre imaginable. They offer store credit for donated books, and currently serve pour-over coffee with plans to offer a beer selection in the future.

While COVID restrictions prohibit a full capacity of customers from lounging in the store, McReynolds said customers are welcome to take advantage of the entire Ecclesia Market.

“They can bring food in here from downstairs, or they can come take books to the restaurant, or take a book and go outside,” said McReynolds.

By nature of being a bookstore, McReynolds said money’s always a little tight, but COVID restrictions have posed an even tighter operating budget.

“We got some disaster loans and CARES funds, which allowed us to keep our one employee,” said McReynolds. “And our landlord gave us a two-month abatement, which really saved us.”

Ordinance No. 21-01

AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 4 OF THE CITY OF LONE TREE MUNICIPAL CODE TO ADD A NEW SECTION 4-3-140 AND A NEW ARTICLE VI CONCERNING CONSTRUCTION USE TAX CREDITS AND FEE WAIVERS FOR QUALIFYING ATTAINABLE HOUSING PROJECTS 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. Under the Charter, the Code and the authority given home rule cities, the City may adopt and amend sales and use tax ordinances.

ARTICLE 2 – DECLARATIONS OF POLICY A. The City Council recognizes the importance of having and preserving a diverse housing stock that provides choices for every life stage and supports housing for a variety of income levels.

B. The development of attainable housing in Lone Tree is closely tied to its successful and sustainable economic development by providing employers with competitive advantages in terms of housing opportunities for a local workforce.

C. The City of Lone Tree has encouraged attainable housing projects specifically within RidgeGate, east of I-25, through the Amended and Restated Annexation and Development Agreement with respect to the East Side Property effective on December 21, 2017 and the RidgeGate Attainable Housing Plan dated July 2018.

D. The City Council now desires to formally adopt attainable housing development incentives that apply throughout the City by offering construction use tax credits and fee reductions or waivers to qualified projects as provided in this Ordinance.

E. As there is currently a limited supply of attainable for-sale housing within the City, the City Council desires to specifically incentivize development of attainable for-sale housing developments to provide more housing product options for potential homebuyers.

F. Codifying attainable housing incentives in Chapter 4 of the Municipal Code will provide guidance to prospective developers of attainable housing and assist in making attainable housing developments economically feasible, if determined by the City to be in the public interest.

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 – MUNICIPAL CODE AMENDMENTS A. Article III of Chapter 4 of the Municipal Code is amended to add a new Section 4-3-140 to read in full as follows: Sec. 4-3-140. Construction Use Tax Credit. (a) The City Council may grant a construction use tax credit up to one hundred percent (100%) of any construction use tax imposed by this chapter if the City Council determines the public interest will be served and the use tax credit is intended to assist in the provision of attainable housing serving the general public as defined in this section. To promote home ownership and a variety of housing types available in the City, City Council desires to incentivize owner-occupied attainable residential development with a potentially greater level of construction use tax credit. (b) For purposes of this article, and to qualify for a construction use tax credit or fee waiver or reduction as set forth in Section 4-6-20, a residential

development must provide housing affordability meeting the following criteria: 1. Owner-occupied dwelling units. Affordability criteria shall be based on criteria determined by City Council pursuant to an agreement between the City and the applicant.

2. Rental dwelling units. A minimum of twenty percent (20%) of the for-rent dwelling units must provide housing for persons or households with incomes at or below a weighted average of sixty percent (60%) of the area median income (AMI) for Douglas County as determined by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development on an annual basis.

3. Attainable for-rent dwelling units must be kept attainable for a minimum of forty (40) years by deed restriction, covenant or other written commitment as approved by the City Manager. (c) For developments providing owner-occupied dwelling units meeting the affordability criteria set forth in Section 4-3-140(b)(1), City Council may grant a construction use tax credit up to one hundred percent (100%) of the taxes imposed as set forth by agreement between the City and applicant. (d) For developments providing rental dwelling units meeting the affordability criteria set forth in Section 4-3-140(b)(2), City Council may grant construction use tax credit in direct proportion to the percentage of attainable for-rent dwelling units provided. By way of example only, if twenty-five percent (25%) of the total dwelling units qualify as attainable, the City may credit construction use tax in the same proportion, or twenty-five percent (25%) of the total construction use tax imposed by this chapter. (e) An applicant shall request a construction use tax credit based on the criteria set forth in subparagraphs (b) of this section in writing prior to or in conjunction with a development application or building permit, whichever is submitted first. The City is under no obligation to grant such request, and any such decision to credit any portion of construction use tax is vested in the sound discretion of the City Council, as memorialized in a written agreement between the City and applicant. Decisions to approve or deny a construction use tax credit request are non-appealable, final administrative determinations. (f) The City Manager is authorized to adopt rules and regulations to further implement the provisions of this Section 4-3-140 and to make interpretations consistent with the purposes of this chapter.

B. A new Article VI, titled Adoption of Fees for Service, is hereby adopted and incorporated in Chapter 4, to read in full as follows: Article VI. Adoption of Fees for Service Sec. 4-6-10. Adoption of Fees.

The City Council is authorized to adopt fees and charges to cover the cost of providing City services, programs and facilities. In adopting any new City-imposed fee or changing the amount of any existing City-imposed fee for any service rendered by the City (specifically excluding franchise fees), the City Council shall determine the amount of such fee by resolution based on the direct and indirect costs incurred by the City in providing the service for which the fee is charged.

Sec. 4-6-20. Waiver or Reduction in Fees. (a) The City Council, or City Manager as specifically delegated in a Council-adopted policy or resolution, may waive or reduce any City-adopted fees up to one hundred percent (100%) with respect to a specific development project in the following circumstances: (1) In accordance with a Council-adopted policy or resolution; or (2) If the City Council or City Manager determines the public interest will be served and the fee waiver or reduction is for a housing development providing at least twenty percent (20%) of the total dwelling units meeting the affordability criteria set forth in Section 4-3-140(b). For such attainable housing developments, City-adopted fees may be waived or reduced in direct proportion to the percentage of attainable dwelling units provided.

By way of example only, if a housing development provides twenty-five percent (25%) attainable dwelling units, the City may reduce applicable City-adopted fees in the same proportion, or twenty-five percent (25%) of the applicable fees. (b) An applicant shall request a fee waiver or fee reduction in writing prior to or in conjunction with a development application or building permit, whichever is submitted first. The City is under no obligation to grant such request, and any such decision to waive or reduce fees, including the type of fees, is vested in the sound discretion of the City Council or City Manager, as applicable.

Decisions to approve or deny a fee waiver or fee reduction request are non-appealable, final administrative determinations.

ARTICLE 7 - CODIFICATION AMENDMENTS The codifier of the City’s Municipal Code is hereby authorized to make such numerical and formatting changes as may be necessary to incorporate the provisions of this Ordinance within the Lone Tree Municipal Code.

ARTICLE 8 – EFFECTIVE DATE This Ordinance shall take effective thirty (30) days following publication after the first reading if no changes are made on second reading, or twenty (20) days following publication after the second reading if changes are made upon second reading, provided that implementation and enforcement of the provisions contained in this Ordinance shall take place on the first day of the month that is at least thirty (30) days after the date of its adoption.

Legal Notice No. 938685 First Publication: February 11, 2021 Last Publication: February 11, 2021 Publisher: Douglas County News-Press PUBLIC NOTICE AND NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING The Town of Larkspur plans to submit a Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) application to the State of Colorado, Department of Local Affairs. CDBG funds are intended to provide decent housing, suitable living environments and economic opportunities, principally for low and moderate-income persons through rehabilitation and preservation, economic/job development and public facilities improvements.

The application being considered would request $600,000 for water system improvements including engineering and administration on behalf of the Town of Larkspur. It is estimated that approximately 64% of the funds would benefit low and moderate-income persons. Permanent involuntary displacement of neighborhood persons or businesses is not anticipated. Should it later become necessary to consider such displacement, alternatives will be examined to minimize the displacement. If no feasible alternatives exist, required/reasonable benefits will be provided to those displaced to mitigate adverse effects and hardships. Any low and moderate-income housing which is demolished or converted will be replaced.

In compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act, individuals needing special accommodations (including auxiliary communicative aids and services) during these hearings should notify Sean Hogan at the Larkspur Town Hall, 8720 Spruce Mountain Road, CO 80118 a minimum of three (3) days in advance so that appropriate aids can be made available.

A public hearing will be held at 6:00 p.m. on Thursday, February 18, 2021. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the public meeting will be held via Zoom. Details on how to participate may be obtained on the Town of Larkspur's Town Council website page (https://www.townoflarkspur.org/town-council) under "Agendas". This public hearing is to obtain citizen views and to respond to proposals and questions related to: • The proposed CDBG application for this project; and • Community development and housing needs, including the needs or low and moderate-income persons, as well as other needs in the community that might be addressed through the CDBG program; and • The performance of the Town of Larkspur in carrying out its community development responsibilities.

• Potential historical effects.

A copy of the application(s) as submitted to the State will be available for public review at the Town of Larkspur. Written comments are also welcome and must be received by February 17, 2021 at shogan@townoflarkspur.org. Oral and written comments will be considered in deciding whether to submit an application for the proposed project.

Written summary information will be available at the Larkspur Town Hall, 8720 Spruce Mountain Road, CO 80118 on February 11, 2021 until February 17, 2021 on any CDBG application(s) the Town of Larkspur intends to submit to the State.

Information and records regarding the Town of Larkspur proposed and past use of CDBG funds are available at Larkspur Town Hall, 8720 Spruce Mountain Road, Colorado during regular office hours.

The Ordinance may also be postponed at said meeting.

ARTICLE 5 – SEVERABILITY If any part or provision of this Ordinance, or its application to any person or circumstance, is adjudged to be invalid or unenforceable, the invalidity or unenforceability of such part, provision, or application shall not affect any of the remaining parts, provisions or applications of this Ordinance which can be given effect without the invalid provision, part or application, and to this end the provisions and parts of this Ordinance are declared to be severable.

Hockey team ready to fight for every inch Chaparral squad has players from three Parker schools

BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Chaparral hockey coach Ryan Finnefrock knows the value of having a good team captain.

He was a captain when he played for Ralston Valley over 10 years ago and now he has three captains on his Chap team, which is a squad composed of players from Chaparral, Legend and Ponderosa high schools.

“Leadership is the engine for the culture of our program,” said Finnefrock. “It makes us go. Good leaders will help control the engine at the right times and make it go at the right times. We cannot reach our goals without great leadership.”

This season, seniors Jackson Mundell, John Connolly and Landen Shay are the three Wolverine captains on a team ranked fourth in the CHSAANow.com 5A hockey rankings.

“They have been huge,” Finnefrock said about the captains. “They have had different roles for sure. This year it is going to be a bigger role for them in a leadership position. All three were key contributors for us last year.

This year it is definitely a different role in terms of taking on the leadership.

“It is always a pleasure as a coach when your best players are also your best human beings. That is definitely these guys. These are three quality individuals who just happen to play hockey.”

Mundell attends Chaparral and stepped right in to his role as a captain.

“I was actually named captain in September for the fall season so I’ve had a couple months to get used to it,” he said. “I wasn’t worried about it at all. I’ve played with most of the play-

ers for years now. I know what they are about and they know what I am about.

I know their strengths and weaknesses and I know about their personalities, so I am able to be comfortable around them.”

Connolly is a Legend student who was Chap’s leading scorer last season as a center but he has been moved to defense this year.

“I don’t think it was difficult for me to take the

leadership role,” explained Connolly. “Even before that I had the letter (C) on my chest, I was pretty vocal with the guys. I was a little bit of a leader before and this bigger role is nice but it hasn’t been a challenge for me.

“I think there are two kinds of captains you can have. The one that just goes out and plays and you just watch him and he leads by example. I think I am more vocal and I can lead by

example but definitely you need the personality to be a leader.”

Shay, who goes to Chaparral, is the team’s first four-year letterman and he is also currently playing for the Littleton Hockey Association’s U18 AA team.

“I am proud to be a captain and being here for four years it is something I feel I’ve grown into and I’ve learned a lot from past captains,” said Shay. “I feel like

I am prepared for it.”

Chaparral has made it to the Frozen Four the past three years and hopes to go further in this season that has been shortened by the COVID pandemic.

“If we all work together and work towards a common goal, which is getting into the Frozen Four and winning the state championship, I think that will do it,” said Mundell.

Connolly pointed out the small things that could help the Wolverines this season.

“It’s going to be a lot of the little things, winning those little puck battles and each play by an inch because once you get down to the Final Four teams, they are all good,” he explained. “You have to do the little things better than the other team to win.”

Shay feels the team will need to battle.

“We have a really good group of guys and we all kind of mix well together even being from three different schools,” said Shay. “I definitely feel unity is going to play a big part with our team.

“We have the talent and skill to go all the way but we have to trust we are going to build from each other. We have to battle through good days and bad days. I expect Chaparral to return to the Frozen Four this year.”

This year might be tougher to reach the Final Four since there will only be a four-team state tournament bracket. Each of the three 5A leagues will have one automatic qualifier and the fourth team will be an atlarge pick.

Chaparral is in the South League with defending state champion Valor Christian along with Castle View, Doherty, Lewis Palmer, Mountain Vista and Pine Creek.

“We want to make a step forward,” said Finnefrock.

“We’re tired of just making the Frozen Four. We want to have a chance to compete for the state title.”

Public Notices the child for one year or more.

You are further notified that if you fail to appear for hearing on this matter, the Court may terminate your parental rights and grant the adoption as sought by the Petitioners.
