Request for gun violence awareness week spurs debate County commissioners reject plea for proclamation

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Roughly a dozen women sat in the front row at the Jan. 28 Douglas County Board of Commissioners meeting, their arms wrapped around one another for support, their eyes fixed steadily on commissioners, as they readied to share their experiences with gun violence.

Nara Altmann told how the May 7 shooting at STEM School Highlands Ranch traumatized her family. The sounds of screams and gunfire left her daughter, then in sixth grade, afraid of fireworks, she told Colorado Community Media.

“She’s doing OK,” Altmann, of Lone Tree, said. But “the main issue is establishing trust.”

The women were there to to urge commissioners to formally recognize National Gun Violence Survivors Awareness Week, which runs from Feb. 1-8, saying it honors victims and spurs community conversations. The board, however, said no, fearing the proclamation could be a lightning rod sparking contentious gun debates.

“Gun violence is real,” said Commissioner Abe Laydon — who lost a close friend in a recent fatal shooting — in a Jan. 30 email in response to ques-

‘Deeply impacted’ “Douglas County has been deeply The group who attended the Jan. 28 impacted by the ripple effects of gun meeting included mothers, relatives violence,” Highlands Ranch resident and close friends of children killed, Jenny Guenther, a co-leader of Moms injured or nearly hurt in shootings.

Demand Action in Douglas County, told commissioners at the meeting.

“You will acknowledge all of the gun violence survivors in our county, regardless of political affiliation or ideology.”

Saying it hoped to honor all crime victims, the Republican board instead proposed a plan to pass a proclamation in April recognizing National Crime Victims’ Rights Week, which includes victims of gun crimes but also those of any crime. Such a proclamation, they said, would be more inclusive of all victims of violence.

In a Jan. 14 statement to Guenther and in conversations with Laydon, however, commissioners also said they wanted to avoid politicizing gun violence by declaring the awareness week.

“We also recognize that despite best intentions,” the statement said, “requests can also fall prey to unnecessary politicization.”

Guenther first asked commissioners for the proclamation in December.

The board intially responded through its office manager, who said the board believed in “calling out the rights of all victims, not just victims of gun violence,” and would do so in April.

Guenther responded, asking commissioners to reconsider. Commissioners then co-authored the statement sent via Laydon, maintaining their position.

The women said they felt the board’s suggestion excluded gun violence survivors who were not victims of a crime — such as accidental shootings or suicides. They also didn’t want gun violence combined with other crime victims.

‘I feel like we need to change the narrative so that talking about gun violence doesn’t need to be political.’

WHAT IS EVERYTOWN FOR GUN SAFETY?

Everytown for Gun Safety launched a campaign to shine a light the stories of gun violence victims in 2019 with the release of its report, “A Nation of Survivors: The Toll of Gun Violence in America.”

The national gun violence prevention organization was co-founded in 2006 under a different name by 14 mayors, including then-mayor of New York City, Mike Bloomberg, now a Democratic presidential candidate who has made gun control one of his top platforms. The group merged with Moms Demand Action, founded by Shannon Watts, in 2013 to form Everytown.

According to Everytown, by each February, the United States counts more gun deaths than other high-income nations experience in an entire calendar year.

Everytown for Gun Safety partners with its branches Moms Demand Action and Students Demand Action to recognize National Gun Violence Survivors Week.

Year round, the groups advocate heavily for gun control measures. On Jan. 27, the organization’s support fund announced it would pour $60 million into 2020 elections. Among plans are trying to flip seats in the U.S. Senate. A memo detailing the spending initiative names Republican Colorado Sen. Cory Gardner as an “initial target,” among other elected officials.

Guenther and other members particularly criticized the board’s stance that the proclamation would politicize gun violence. The proclamation does not discuss gun rights or gun control.

“I feel like we need to change the narrative so that talking about gun violence doesn’t need to be political,” said Guenther, who learned of the awareness week through Moms Demand Action, a branch of Everytown for Gun Safety, a national gun violence prevention organization.

But, she said, she was not representing the organization in asking for the proclamation and she and the others came as individual residents and survivors.

Political implications Politics around gun control and gun violence issues, however, is difficult to ignore in largely Republican Douglas County, which has historically shown support for gun rights. The three commissioners often rely on the county’s citizen survey, which shows a divided county when it comes to Colorado’s red flag law.

In the 2019 survey, 53% of participants supported the law, which allows the temporary seizure of firearms from someone a judge deems to be a threat to themselves or others.

Robert Preuhs, chair of the Department of Political Science at Metropolitan State University of Denver, said the national and state polarization on gun violence “tends to bleed down into local politics as well.”

“Gun control is a really salient issue, so it becomes even more obvious to those decision makers that there are potentially repercussions to making decisions like this,” he said of the awareness week.

AWARENESS FROM PAGE 2

He predicted most of the county would have been fine with the proclamation or not have seen the political implications, although a vocal constituency would have most likely raised those concerns in commissioner meetings and electoral politics.

Some ideas to avoid politics could be to declare a similar awareness week during different dates and under a different name, he said, or designate a remembrance site to honor gun violence victims.

Preuhs also noted 2020 is an election year — two Douglas County commissioner seats are up for election — and the state legislative session is likely to include gun issues, including continued debate of the red flag law, raising the stakes when it comes to gun issues.

“You just can’t escape politics in an election year,” Preuhs said.

How an awareness week is recognized is up to individual communities that proclaim it, Guenther said. And she doesn’t believe the organizations’ advocacy work should cloud the group’s mission of declaring National Gun Violence Survivors Week in Douglas County, which is to honor survivors, she said.

“It’s become so political we can’t talk about it,” she said. “That’s why we did not come to them as members of Mom Demand Action.”

‘That follows you forever’ The women left the Jan. 28 meeting feeling frustrated and unheard.

“Having one week of remembrance would give survivors time and place to honor

ourselves and our experience,” said Stacie Penar, a Highlands Ranch resident.

The group’s criticism in general struck a chord with commissioners, who spent months after the STEM shooting working on initiatives to boost safety and security in local schools.

Commissioner Lora Thomas listed many of the board’s efforts and disputed any notion the county was not a statewide leader in student safety.

Three weeks after the STEM shooting, the board announced a grant process splitting $10 million in one-time funds among local schools, she noted. It launched a community response team, which pairs a law enforcement officer with a mental health clinician, to work with youths at home and school. It also approved more than $330,000 to pay for more school resource officers in the district.

All show the board has been focused on solutions to gun violence, she said.

Commissioners thanked the women for sharing their stories and asked them to participate in the April awareness week.

“We just pray for your hearts to be healed however they can be,” board Chairman Roger Partridge said. “Thank you for speaking up today.”

But Tassaddikari wanted more than thanks. She wanted greater acknowledgment for survivors.

She tears up thinking about her grandson listening to a lockdown warning playing on a loop in his classroom as the sound of screams and gunshots echoed through the school on that May day.

Although he still has difficulty with sirens and loud noises, “I think he’s doing OK now,” she said. “But he will always be a survivor of a gun shooting. That follows you forever.”

Douglas County School District weighs capacity solutions Some facilities in urgent need of seats, district officials say

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The Douglas County School District is growing, and as it plans to address issues with capacity among its schools, it asked for the community’s input. The district recently completed a survey open to the entire community and more than 15,300 people responded.

Most respondents, about 78%, were parents. Teachers and students were the next biggest participants. Roughly 2,000 teachers and 1,500 students completed the survey.

Participants weighed five different ways the district could address capacity issues in coming years.

Those were: constructing new buildings and/or adding portable classrooms, modifying neighborhood boundaries, moving the sixth grade out of crowded elementary schools and into middle schools, expanding the number of K-8 schools, or using open enrollment policies.

The most favored options were new construction or using portables, modifying boundaries and using policies to manage enrollment, according to survey results presented to the school

board on Jan. 21. At least 80% of participants agreed or strongly agreed with those three options.

Students, parents and teachers all showed the least support for expanding the number of K-8 schools.

“The K-8 scenario was less favored but not dismally so,” said Shannon Bingham of Western Demographics Inc. Participants who attended schools that already place the sixth grade in a middle school were more likely to support this option and those where the sixth grade is in elementary schools were not.

Parents’ and teachers’ top option was modifying boundaries — 90% of teachers agreed or strongly agreed with this scenario — while students’ favorite option was new construction or portables.

Bingham also broke down results by geographic area. Respondents were asked to note where they live so the board can understand which options are most supported in different areas of the district.

Most survey respondents came from Highlands Ranch, Parker or Castle Rock. Support for moving the sixth grade was strong in Parker, Castle Pines and Franktown. There was very weak support for expanding the number of K-8 schools in Highlands Ranch, Castle Rock and Franktown, Bingham said.

New construction, modifying boundaries and using policies to manage en-

rollment were consistently supported around the district.

Bingham has walked through each of the district’s 91 schools with administrators to assess how they are being utilized and their capacities.

Many of the buildings are aging, he said, and are between 20 and 30 years old. They also weren’t built to support the number of non-teaching positions that have grown in popularity since district schools were constructed.

“When I started my career 35 years ago, there were maybe two to five non-classroom-based professionals in buildings. Now it’s 18 to 20, and in those older prototypes, folks don’t have a place to work,” he said.

The next steps will be holding community open houses in April and May with continued updates to the board about which options are viable in the district.

Director Susan Meek asked how Bingham would solicit more input from people underrepresented in the survey. He said he would work with staff to do so.

“I think only 3% of the respondents were people without children in the schools and we know the vast majority of individuals fit that category,” she said.

Board President David Ray said he was surprised parent engagement wasn’t happening sooner in the process, particularly when some schools’ capacity concerns are at an emer-

gency point.

“It was my understanding that we have a couple schools that we’re very concerned about that we might need to implement some strategies for next year,” Ray said.

Assistant Superintendent Ted Knight said he’s already begun vetting solutions for three to four schools in Castle Rock and Parker that will have a shortage of seats next school year.

“I’d rather not name them quite yet because we have not talked with their communities yet and I don’t want to put anybody in a panic,” he said.

Among three schools, two in Castle Rock and one in Parker, there will be roughly 200 more seats needed by next school year. The shortage is due to more housing construction in those communities, bringing more families to the district, Knight said.

“If you’ve got five seats left this year and 100 new kids coming in next year, we’re going to have to do something.

There literally will not be enough desks in a few schools,” he said.

Knight was planning to present ideas for the most stressed schools at the board’s Feb. 4 meeting. The district would then get further community input from those school communities and decide how to address the capacity problems “as soon as possible.”

“We’re trying to make decisions as quickly as possible so that they have time, but also as thoughtfully as possible,” Knight said.

Castle Rock couple expanding agriculture endeavor Giggle Belly Urban Farm aims to bring people closer to food production

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Castle Rock couple Rue Graham and Chris Frederics didn’t start out as farmers, but a knack for food production picked up in college paired with an entrepreneurial spirit spurred them to make a career change two years ago.

Graham, a math and science teacher at Renaissance Secondary School, and Frederics, a former teacher of seven years, run Giggle Belly Urban Farm from their home downtown. Frederics left teaching in December to pursue urban farming full-time.

“We’ve been stewing on it, me especially,” he said, “for a long time.”

The family has converted nearly every square inch of their front and back yards into growing space.

Tomatoes, lettuce, strawberries, kale and other foodstuffs spring up from the earth come summer as the family grows and harvests its crop.

Last season they served up produce to eight families through their Community Supported Agriculture, or CSA, program. This year their goal is 30 members and they’ve acquired more land that’s roughly tripled their farming footprint.

The CSA program allows member to pay a fee and receive boxes of produce from the farm, one a week for 20 weeks. Members can pick boxes up from the farm or the Festival Park farmers market, where the couple runs a stand.

Boxes also include recipe ideas and information about what’s been happening at the farm.

“And you have direct access to your farmer,” Frederics said.

Graham said she loved hearing about families’ experiences getting kids to try new foods through the CSA, coming up with recipes and just talking food for a summer while working on the CSA program.

“You really do create super cool relationships with your CSA memberships,” she said.

Their goal is not only to keep town residents full on locally grown produce but to also teach them about food production.

Graham said her experience in Vermont attending Sterling College, a private environmental college, gave her a better understanding of “what it takes to produce food,” which she hopes to share with Castle Rock.

Fredericks spent his summers growing up on a Nebraska farm and began working at a 400-acre organic farm in college. As a teacher at Jefferson County Open School he helped his school start a community garden that today one of the largest in the county, he said.

“We’re not feeding the world. It’s to educate people about their food system and get them closer connected to it,” Frederics said.

Rue Graham and Chris Frederics run their urban farm in downtown Castle Rock, offering a CSA program for local residents.

DA travels to Malaysia to give human rights training Brauchler addressed gender violence, human trafficking and use of force STAFF REPORT

George Brauchler, 18th Judicial District attorney, recently traveled to Malaysia on behalf of the Department of Defense to conduct human rightsrelated training.

Brauchler, a colonel and military judge in the Colorado Army National Guard, worked with members of the Malaysian navy, teaching courses on use of force, gender violence and human trafficking under the auspices of the Defense Institute of International Legal Studies.

The defense institute is the “lead DoD security cooperation resource for global legal engagement and capacity-building with international defense sector officials” and regularly works with militaries around the globe, according to a news release.

“I have spent a career doing nearly everything in military law, and I was happy be able to work with our partner countries on the important work of up-

holding the law of armed conflict,” Brauchler said in the release. “The United States is a global democracy leader, and we are actively engaged in working with our military partners to uphold international standards.”

Brauchler’s commitment to service extends beyond his actions and includes the district attorney’s office, the release said. When hiring, he actively seeks qualified applicants with military service. The office supports its prosecutors while they deploy to Afghanistan, Iraq, Kuwait and elsewhere, and two of its prosecutors are on active duty, the release said.

“As a veteran of the Iraq war, and as member of the Colorado Army National Guard, I know well the value these women and men bring to any organization, especially one dedicated to upholding our Constitution and seeking justice,” Brauchler said.

In 2017, the 18th Judicial District Attorney’s Office was awarded the Secretary of Defense Employer Support Freedom Award, the first DA’s office to be honored in the 22-year history of the award.

“I am proud to have created the most veteran- and military-friendly office in government,” Brauchler said in the release.

Reverse Mortgage: No Monthly Payment, Get Cash & Pay Off Your Mortgage

I

s your mortgage payment “strangling” you? Are you worried 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 answer you have been seeking.

A government insured loan product that allows you to pay off your current mortgage thereby eliminating your monthly mortgage payment can provide the budget breathing-room you need.

Taxes and homeowner’s insurance must still be paid, but many seniors have found that 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. But now a reverse mortgage will allow you to access the equity in your home while you continue to own the home so you can get

m

e

cash and make life a little easier.

Get the correct facts. There is a lot of wrong information floating around about reverse mortgages. With a reverse mortgage, no one owns the home but you, and no debt is passed on to your heirs. You will still have substantial equity in your home, and can sell at any time.

Call your local Reverse Mortgage Specialist for more information on your situation and to see if this program will benefit you. You owe it to yourself and your family to know your options, with accurate facts.

FAA gives final green light to flight-path changes

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

After nearly four years since the federal government put plans in motion to reroute airplane traffic in the Denver metro area, the changes are now slated to be implemented this spring.

The Federal Aviation Administration’s plan to optimize arrival and departure at local airports is called the Denver Metroplex project, and it includes Denver International Airport, Centennial Airport and some others.

An FAA study, called an environmental assessment, looked at impacts the project could have on noise, air quality, wildlife, and historic and cultural resources.

The proposed change in flight paths is expected to have “no significant impacts” on those aspects of the project’s area, including metro Denver and the Greeley area, according to the study.

Now, the FAA has released an official final word — a “Finding of No Significant Impact” and “Record of Decision” — which enables the agency to move forward with the Metroplex project. The decision was announced Jan. 24.

The finding means the FAA has determined that a further review, called an environmental impact statement, isn’t necessary before the plan is put into action, according to the FAA’s website.

No significant impacts have been found to be expected by any environmental assessment of the 11 active or completed Metroplex projects around the nation, and all projects have been reviewed with EAs, as of December, according to FAA

spokesman Allen Kenitzer.

While the plan would directly impact only a handful of airports, potential effects could be felt in an area that includes all, or portions of, 31 counties in Colorado — although the FAA’s analysis indicates only a few dozen people would experience notable noise increases, located in unincorporated Jefferson County and unincorporated Elbert County.

Conflicting accounts “The FAA’s environmental review for the project indicates some people will experience slight noise decreases, some will see no changes and some will experience small noise increases,” the FAA said in a news release. “Additionally, some people might see aircraft where they did not previously fly after the Denver Metroplex procedures are implemented.”

Centennial Airport has argued at length that the FAA didn’t consider the impact of the part of flight that occurs below 3,000 feet above ground, and that leaves unclear how much communities could be affected.

Littleton, Centennial, Cherry Hills Village, Lone Tree, Castle Rock and other nearby cities could experience effects, but it’s unknown how much, Robert Olislagers, executive director of Centennial Airport, has said.

“As has been stated before, the FAA completely ignores impacts below 3,000 (feet above ground), which makes any noise modeling deeply flawed,” the airport wrote in a Dec. 18 letter to the FAA. That means the final part of flight wasn’t adequately analyzed by the agency, the airport argued in a June 5 letter to the FAA. Kentizer, the FAA spokes-

WHAT WOULD METROPLEX CHANGE? Older methods to direct air traffic in the metro area largely depend on navigational aids on the ground or radar by air traffic controllers, according to the Federal Aviation Administration.

Area navigation, or RNAV, can put pilots on more direct routes, generally through satellite technology. It requires less communication between air traffic control and pilots and makes for more efficient use of airspace, according to the FAA. RNAV changes have been part of NextGen, a set of updates the FAA is making in the Denver area and around the nation.

The Metroplex plan is another part of the NextGen updates. It aims to make further changes with new flight paths for airports in metro areas like Denver.

The potential airports affected are Centennial Airport, Rocky Mountain Metropolitan Airport in the Broomfield area, Denver International Airport, Northern Colorado Regional Airport in Loveland and GreeleyWeld County Airport. man, said in December that noise modeling was done in the environmental assessment for the portion of flight that occurs below 3,000 feet above ground for all proposed paths in the Metroplex plan, and said that includes the final portion of flight.

It’s unclear what explains the discrepancy between the airport’s and FAA’s statements.

“We respectfully disagree with the FAA,” Olislagers said. The airport intends to argue that point as part of its upcoming legal action against the agency.

As for where exactly people could see more intense traffic, Colorado Community Media has previously reported that flights would have the same landing angle in the area around Centennial Airport and will fly the same altitudes as today, according to the FAA. Regarding whether those statements apply to takeoff and landing operations below 3,000 feet above ground, Kenitzer said: “Many factors beyond existing procedures and Metroplex proposed procedures determine historic and future air-

craft overflight and the altitude of that overflight. Areas of anticipated aircraft overflight … considered by the DEN Metroplex Project have occurred and may occur anywhere over Douglas County or Arapahoe County at or above altitudes FAA defines and the aircraft operator determines for the safe operation of aircraft.”

Change out west During the recent planning process, the FAA made a handful of tweaks to the list of proposed new flight paths, but the notable planned new paths in south metro Denver remain unchanged.

One path, the ZIMMR, represents a change for the Boulder area that was brought about by public complaint.

The existing FOOOT path — which the ZIMMR would replace — flies directly over the south-central portion of the City of Boulder, and an update to the proposed ZIMMR moved the path even farther to the south than the original proposed change, according to the environmental assessment.

That route will run north of the Gilpin County boundary,

according to the finding of no significant impact. Residents in that county have recently complained about planned flight path changes, according to Denver-area media reports.

“However, rapidly changing atmospheric conditions and convective activity over the Front Range may require air traffic control to build in a greater margin of safety (than) the minimum separation standards for aircraft which may affect aircraft” on that path, the document says, implying that there will be variation in where flights on that route fly.

“The procedure will not be over Gilpin County, but that does not mean that aircraft will not be (directed over) there during times of convective activity,” Kenitzer said.

Last year, Centennial Airport took legal action — a petition for review — against the FAA over the Metroplex project.

That move came in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit.

In the June 19 legal filing, the Arapahoe County Public Airport Authority — the government body that oversees the airport — asked the court to review the FAA’s study, its determination that an environmental impact statement isn’t needed and its proposed changes in flight procedures.

The airport later withdrew its case because the filing was premature, and the court formally dismissed the case Aug. 16. The airport plans to file its case again but does not yet have a firm date.

“We feel the FAA essentially based (its final decision) on the (environmental assessment) and ignored the comments from Centennial Airport and others,” Olislagers said.

Douglas County awards more school safety grants

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Douglas County approved agreements with three more local schools on Jan. 28 as it continued awarding grant money aimed at making students in the county safer. School leaders grew emotional thanking the board for the grants, stating projects would not be possible without them.

Commissioners launched the grant program following a fatal shooting at STEM School Highlands Ranch in May. The one-time, $10 million offer was available to be split among private, charter and district neighborhood schools for either mental health programming or the physical security of their buildings.

The county already awarded the Douglas County School District $6.8 million to work on projects and programming at its 91 schools, including charter schools.

On Jan. 28, the board awarded American Academy $259,636, Platte River Academy $331,605 and Southeast Christian School $263,337.

American Academy is a K-8 charter school enrolling 2,700 students across its three campuses, one in Castle Pines and two in Parker. The K-8 charter school Platte River Academy enrolls 486 students and is based in Highlands Ranch.

All of both schools’ grant dollars will go toward the physical security of buildings. Details of the projects have not been made public by the county to prevent exposing sensitive information about security.

Mike Munier, director of strategy and development at Platte River, choked up talking about the school’s plans, which he said were formed roughly two years ago but were not possible before the county launched this grant process.

“Platte River Academy is going to be a safer place and this summer we’re going to completely remodel the front end

of our school and create a very secure place for our children and staff,” he said. “Securing the perimeter, or in this case, securing our facility is one of the critical things that we can do to allow us to be safe.”

Southeast Christian is a private school in Parker enrolling 450 students in preschool through eighth grade. It will conduct an emotional resilience program with the funds at a cost of $14,600. That leaves $248,737 of its grant for physical security projects.

Southeast Principal Nathan Teigland said he has already met with mental health providers to discuss rolling out the school’s projects. He thanked commissioners for including private schools and thanked commissioners for swift action following the shooting at STEM. “I have three of my own in school with me and I know what it’s like to hear the questions from second-graders about safety, and I hear these things younger and younger and younger,” he

said.

Commissioner Lora Thomas thanked Teigland for representing private schools at the meeting. She said commissioners initially “took some heat” for including private schools in the grant process, which awarded the grants using public tax dollars.

“We didn’t understand how a child who went to a private school was different from any other child,” she said.

Board Chairman Roger Partridge thanked the schools for their hours dedicated to the grant process, and Commissioner Abe Laydon said the school officials’ compliments mean “the world to us.”

“I’m incredibly honored to be here serving with my fellow commissioners that are actually doing more than words,” Laydon said. “They’re putting their hearts into action and making a significant difference for the mental health and physical school security of these schools.”

Bill could lead to fund for teacher pay hikes Measure to offer bonuses for educators in struggling schools doesn’t go forward

BY ERICA MELTZER CHALKBEAT.ORG

A union-backed bill that would create a fund that cash-strapped districts could tap for teacher pay raises advanced out of the Colorado Legislature’s Senate Education Committee Jan. 29 on a party-line vote, though not before lawmakers of both parties raised questions.

Republicans on the committee said that by also including hourly workers like bus drivers and school secretaries, the money in the fund would be stretched so thin it wouldn’t do much for teacher pay. And state Sen. Jeff Bridges, a Greenwood Village Democrat, asked whether the bill would inadvertently create incentives for local communities not to tax themselves.

The bill calls for at least $15 million a year to be set aside from state lands proceeds. Districts with low teacher salaries or hourly wages could apply for those funds to raise pay. Those districts would eventually be responsible for assuming the ongoing costs of the raises. The specific criteria that would be used to determine eligibility is still being discussed.

A few hours later, Democrats on the Senate State, Military, & Veterans Affairs Committee rejected a

‘If this were to be adopted, I believe it would help, at the margin, those teachers who decide to stay (in challenging schools).

This will create a ripple effect that will benefit not only the students in the room but the culture of the school.’

different teacher pay bill that would have given out bonuses up to $12,000 to highly effective teachers who took jobs in schools with persistent low test scores. State Affairs is known as a “kill committee,” a place where bills die for largely partisan reasons.

Mill levy advisory council seeks two volunteers STAFF REPORT

Douglas County is seeking two volunteers to serve on the its Developmental Disabilities Mill Levy Advisory Council, which was established following voter approval of the mill levy in 2001.

Applications for the openings are being accepted through Feb. 14.

While 94.5% of the developmental disabilities mill levy funds are given to the county’s community-centered board Developmental Pathways, the remaining 5.5% is set aside for the county’s Developmental Disabilities Grant Program.

The advisory council reviews the grant applications from organizations seeking money for local programs supporting residents with developmental disabilities. Since 2002, more than $4.2 million has been awarded to organizations delivering

local services to support residents with developmental disabilities and their families, including $300,000 awarded in 2019.

“We are in awe of the expertise and servant leadership contributed by those who serve on the county’s boards, committees and commissions,” Douglas County Commissioner Abe Laydon said in a news release. “As the new year begins we hope this opportunity to serve will attract similar candidates.”

Douglas County mill levy grants support projects and services that demonstrate innovative and collaborative projects or programs in six areas: Life in Common, Housing, Transportation, Employment, Recreation/Leisure and Health.

Veteran transit leader named RTD’s interim CEO Paul Ballard retired last year as chief executive of Texas district

BY NICK PUCKETT NPUCKETT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The former head of a Texas transit agency will serve as the new interim general manager and CEO of the Regional Transportation District, RTD’s board of directors announced Jan. 28.

Paul Ballard will replace Dave Genvoa as head of the agency, concluding a monthslong search that included more Ballard than 40 applicants.

Ballard’s halfcentury of service in transportation, leadership and ideas put him ,ahead of the pack, RTD Chair Angie said in a news lRivera-Malpiede release.

“My board colleagues and I think that Mr. Ballard will skillfully lead us into RTD’s next era while also ensuring that the agency’s employees remain focused on their service to the public,” Rivera-Malpiede says.

PAY HIKES FROM PAGE 10

Though the bonus bill had a Democratic co-sponsor, the outcome largely reflected ideological differences over the best way to pay teachers: raising wages across the board or targeting state funds to teachers who are making the most difference.

Teachers unions generally oppose bonus pay or performance pay, instead preferring more predictable salary schedules that reward longevity and educational credits.

Colorado Education Association President Amie Baca-Oehlert said the teacher rating system was never designed to be used for merit pay and that teaching is a team activity, in which no one person is responsible for the success or failure of students.

State Sen. Kevin Priola, a Brighton Republican and sponsor of the bonus pay bill, said he had hoped the idea would get a fair hearing.

“If this were to be adopted, I believe it would help, at the margin, those teachers who decide to stay (in challenging schools),” he said.

“This will create a ripple effect that

Ballard retired as the chief executive of Trinity Metro in Fort Worth, Texas, last year. Before that, Ballard was the CEO of Nashville Metropolitan Transit Authority and the Regional Transportation Authority of Middle Tennessee — more than 45 years as general manager, CEO or president of public- and private-sector transit systems, according to the release.

He replaces Genova, who served RTD for 26 years, the last four as GM and CEO. Ballard takes charge of RTD during a tumultuous time for the transportation district as it mulls cutting service lines to accommodate a shortage in bus drivers and light rail operators.

Ballard was chosen from among five finalists. The others were Lone Tree Mayor Jackie Millet; Amy Ford, director of the Intelligent Transportation Society of America’s Mobility on Demand Alliance; Michael Ford, RTD chief operating officer; and Mike Meader, RTD chief safety and security officer.

RTD was founded in 1969 to develop, operate and maintain a mass transportation system in Denver.

RTD currently serves 3.08 million in 2,342 square miles across eight Denver-area counties.

will benefit not only the students in the room but the culture of the school.”

The bonus bill would have created a $4 million fund for bonuses for teachers who get top ratings and either move to or stay in a low-performing school.

“As an instructor, I believe that all students and all schools deserve good teachers who can push them to improve their performance,” said Anne Keke, a teacher at Colorado Early Colleges in Aurora and a member of the African Leadership Group, as she testified in support of the bill.

Katie Martinez of the advocacy group A Plus Colorado pointed to research that has found bonus pay effective in keeping good teachers at high-poverty schools. Bonus pay was a major point of contention in the Denver teachers strike last year, with research showing mixed results and teachers divided. The Aurora school district has also experimented with bonuses or stipends for certain hard-to-staff positions.

A third teacher pay bill sponsored

by Republican state Sen. Paul Lundeen, which also calls for bonuses for highly effective teachers, has yet to receive a hearing.

They’re called “polydactyl

cats.”

The Ernest QUIET Hemingway Home and Museum current- DESPERATION ly has 40-50 polydactyl cats roaming around.

Cats normally have five front toes and four back toes.

Six-toed cats were often taken on ships for two reasons: They were good at ridding rodents, and they Craig Marshall were thought to be lucky.

Smith Hemingway was given his first polydactyl cat, named Snow White, by a ship captain.

In general, people are thought to prefer dogs or cats, not both.

I prefer dogs, and I prefer a specific breed. I am on my fourth (and final) Dachshund.

I don’t hold much with folklore, as fascinating as it is. I doubt if Hexe, Badger, Smitty or Harry have brought me greater luck than the fortune of knowing them.

Harry has allergies. Determining what they were was expensive.

Bloodwork was done and sent to a laboratory in Mesa, Arizona. The results came back in a book that looked like the one Ralph Edwards used to read from on “This Is Your Life.”

There were pages of possible allergies with checked and unchecked boxes next to them.

The main culprit, we determined, was oats.

But there were others: rap music,

Fox News, hat check girls who wear tons of makeup, and wedding receptions.

Harry now eats a prescription diet.

He takes a pill a day too.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Honor victims and heroes My family has lived in Douglas County for seven years. My 12-yearold daughter is a survivor of the STEM shooting. Recently, the Douglas County Board of County Commissioners rejected the proposal to declare the first week of February National Gun Violence Survivors Week.

We protect ourselves and those we love from pain and it’s only natural that we avoid acknowledging the threat and long-lasting traumatic and ripple effects of gun violence. This creates an invisible wall that inhibits many survivors to share their stories and the community to show empathy when others risk sharing.

A Gun Violence Survivor Week would eliminate the wall by providing a place in time for the community to heal together honoring victims and survivors of gun violence.

Just as the directors of the movie “After Parkland” stayed with the community as opposed to simply showing up, as they had done many times before covering mass shootings, I am asking if you will stay with gun violence survivors for this first week of February. Will you extend your compassion regardless of where each one of us stands in the gun rights debate? Acknowledging the pain of a community does not take away from honoring concealed weapon owners who have saved people. Our community has the capacity to honor both

Commissioners are not extending their compassion through a proclamation, but that doesn’t mean the rest of us can’t.

Nara Altmann Lone Tree What about the state constitution?

When reading the news article online regarding the Douglas County commissioners granting public taxpayer money to Douglas County schools, something caught my eye.

News reporter Jessica Gibbs writes that approximately $250,000 has been given to Southeast Christian in Parker. Will additional private religious schools be receiving public tax dollars?

The Colorado State Constitution is very clear. Article IX, Section 7, titled “Aid to private schools, churches, sectarian purpose, forbidden,” states that no county may pay from any public fund or moneys whatsoever to any school control by any church or religious denomination. The Colorado Constitution is silent regarding the end use of any public funds, but is very clear that any distribution is forbidden.

ave you ever heard a really bad joke? Or maybe just a very funny joke told really poorly? We can probably all say yes to that one, couldn’t we? We have also probably been told a story that missed its desired mark or that was shared in such a way that we didn’t quite make the connection.

What if the intent of the joke or story being told, regardless of how poorly it was told, was to lift the spirits of someone who was feeling down or needed encourMichael Norton agement? When we think of it in those terms, maybe we can start to see where intent could be equal to or even more important than technique.

Now you might be thinking, is that kind of like, “It’s the thought that counts”? Yes, I am sure that it is in some way. However, is it

always true? Some may argue that it cannot always be true. Again, let’s put perspective and context ahead of judgment for a moment. Let’s pretend that it is always 100% true, assuming of course that we are all in agreement that we are discussing the intention of a positive nature, not malintent. Then again, we are talking about our readers and community here, so we know that the readership here is always operating with positive intentions.

“Put your heart into it.” “How about we try that again, this time with feeling.” We have heard and know these sayings and others all too well. When used as a weapon or spoken with harsh words and tonality of sarcasm, they are demoralizing and demotivating.

Patients, physicians work in partnership

s we settle into the new year, one of the best resolutions we can choose for our health is making the commitment to engage in an active partnership with our physician. Whether we’re just getting to know a new physician or want to further build our relationship with our current one, there are three areas we can focus on to strengthen our partnership.

They include preparing for our appointment, prioritizing concerns during our appointment and an area perhaps overlooked, understanding our physician’s perspective while making our perspective understood, as well.

Many of us may have experienced our blood pressure being much higher than usual when it’s taken at the

techniques, processes, and skills? I am not talking about just our personal lives and relationships; I am also including our work environment and relationships. By acting with the very best of intentions, each and every one of our experiences and relationships could be altered for the better. Good intentions foster trust, and trust is better than good at work and at home.

Even when we falter or stumble in our attempts, even when someone may feel initially hurt, angry, or upset because of our best of intentions plans, words and actions, when the positive intention is ultimately recognized, understanding and appreciation will almost always win the day.

Here’s the other thing, a positive attitude and intention go hand-in-hand.

It would be hard to have a negative attitude and a positive intention at the same time. A positive attitude is very important, and sometimes we can have a positive attitude without taking any action. And we can also have very good intentions but fail to follow through on things. As we harness the power and energy of a positive atti-

Let’s add one more word to our formula for today, gratitude. Good intentions fueled by a positive attitude and founded on the basis of gratitude.

That’s right, being positively grateful for the opportunity to serve others and being absolutely grateful when others point their very best intentions in our direction. Wouldn’t you agree that it is so much easier to live and work with good intentions when we live with the attitude of gratitude and by placing our good intentions right up there with, and maybe even ahead of our techniques, processes and skills?

best time of day on our least busy day of the week. Making the time of our appointment work best for us can reduce anxiety and help us feel more relaxed during our visit.

Another extremely important area of preparation is having a current list of our medications with us that include the name of the drug, the dose and the frequency. With the Food and Drug Administration reporting over 7,000 deaths in the United States annually due to medication errors, this absolutely must be a top priority for all of us. We cannot assume that the list of medications our doctor has on file for us is current. Perhaps our primary care physician referred us to a specialist and that doctor added a medication or changed the dose of another medication. In a perfect world this information would be communicated to our primary care physician.

However, this doesn’t always happen, so it’s our responsibility to make sure

every doctor involved in our care is on the same page when it comes to our medications.

Current data indicates that in an average visit, the actual time a physician spends face to face with a patient is less than 20 minutes. With this limited amount of time, we must prioritize our concerns as clearly and concisely as possible. We can’t present a laundry list of ailments and expect them all to be addressed during the same visit. Instead, we need to focus on one or two issues that are impacting our health and our quality of life the most. Having a family member or a trusted friend with us as an advocate to express these concerns and keep us on track can also be helpful.

Perspective may potentially have the most impact on our ability to build and maintain our relationship with our physician.

Comedian Zac Maas headlined the show at Max Taps brewery in Highlands Ranch Sat. Jan. 25. Maas’ jokes produced laughter, shock and applause.

Comedy shows adjust to outlying audiences

Michael Jeffries hosted and produced the standup show at Max Taps Jan. 25. He began the show about two years ago.

BY ELLIOTT WENZLER EWENZLER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

W

hen local comedian Michael Jeffries stepped up to the mic at Max Taps Brewery in Highlands Ranch, the room was filled with a variety of suburbanites.

Folks just getting off work, couples young and old, friend groups and beer lovers filed into the seats in the back room of the brewery on Jan. 25. Minutes before, the room was occupied by a crowd from a funeral reception.

Jeffries, 29, who produces and hosts the show, opened with a joke apologizing for his appearance.

“I made the mistake of sleeping on my hair last night,” he said. “I know I should start sleeping on a mattress instead, but mattresses are expensive and the hair is free if you don’t ask any stupid (expletive) questions.”

When Jeffries first started the suburban showcase, he was asked to only book comics who will remain clean and non-political. The crowds in the suburbs tend to skew older and more conservative, after all.

The problem, he said, is that leaves

almost no one to perform. So, he asked the owner to trust him and after one show, he was given full authority to just book the funniest people possible.

“Just because you live in the suburbs doesn’t mean you don’t like to laugh,” Jeffries said. “Even if the joke is dirty … or even against your political beliefs.”

Jeffries is just one of the Denverbased comedians capitalizing on the fact that while everyone enjoys laughing, not everyone wants to sit in an hour of traffic to do it.

A world away While solid comedy is generally successful everywhere, there are some big differences between the suburban and

urban comedy scenes. Those distinctions just might be the reason downtown’s shows are experiencing huge growth and the outskirts are seeing a slower uptick.

For starters, the suburbs are much more spread out, meaning ride-sharing services can get expensive quickly, said Wende Curtis, owner of Comedy Works, which has locations in downtown Denver and Greenwood Village.

Curtis opened up Comedy Works’ suburban club in 2008 after market research showed that’s where the bulk of people are moving, she said.

“It’s 13 1/2 miles from the original location downtown … but it’s a world away,” she said.

Even if suburban crowds still like to

laugh at the not-so-clean jokes, producers still tend to book people who lean away from dirtier humor in their sets.

“My philosophy is on a Saturday night if I’ve got tickets available and people can walk in and buy a ticket, I want to appeal to (our audience),” Curtis said. “Chances are you might get somebody a little edgier walking in downtown and you’re going to get somebody a little cleaner if you go south.”

Another factor challenging the comedy scene in the suburbs is the demographics. Josue Flores, a Denverbased comedy producer, describes his target ticket buyer as between the ages of 21 and 34. In the city center, there’s a higher density of this group. A few miles from downtown, the crowds tend to skew a little older, more conservative and less diverse, Flores said.

That’s why the suburbs tend to be a place where local comics can really put their jokes to the test said Korey David, a local comedian and producer.

“The suburban rooms are where you find out what your material actually is,” David said. “It’s easy to pander to audiences in the urban area because everyone agrees with you.”

David also hosts a regular show in Arvada called Hootenanny, which combines live music and comedy.

“A lot of times people think it will be rough (in the suburbs) but it’s actually quite the opposite,” he said.

In Parker, stand-up comedian Rion Evans and improv comedian Grant Garrison are also both working to distinguish the small town as a strong place for comedy.

“I want to turn Parker into the city that’s known for having the best comedy scene in Colorado,” Garrison said. “I don’t want to commute for my comedy.”

Build it and they will come While the audiences tend to be extra appreciative of these live shows close to home, they can also be pickier.

“When you’re older, you’re more selective,” Curtis said. “You just want to see who you want to see.”

Another reason the community hasn’t taken off more is because of a lack of open mics for people to try out comedy for the first time, said Harrison Garcia, another local comic working the suburban crowds.

“I wouldn’t say that any places in (suburban Denver) have their own distinct scene,” he said, “Most of the

time a comedy scene needs a few venues that are willing to regularly host not only shows but open mics allowing new comics to try things out.”

As Denver and its comedy scene continue to grow, spaces like the ones Garcia described will continue to pop up, Curtis said. But will the same happen in the suburbs?

“I think the more urban (shows) are going to have a better success rate than the suburban ones, but you know, eventually something’s going to stick,” Curtis said. “Build it and they will come and if it’s strong enough … they’re going to come back.”

Photographers share views of world in show at church Outdoor scenes, including night skies, included among works

BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Tim Kathka and Bill Knoll, both members of the active Littleton Fine Arts Guild (and both Nebraska natives), will exhibit their photographs in the gallery at St. Andrew United Methodist Church in Highlands Ranch from Feb. 7 through March 12.

The pair will hold a reception from 10:30 to noon, between services, on Feb. 9 so they can talk about their special shots with art lovers.

Guild member Kathy Meyers is active with the Art at St. Andrew program and invited them to exhibit their images.

Kathka, a retired architect who especially worked on churches, and Knoll, a retired electrical engineer, share a special interest in the night sky and Milky Way, but both are interested in other aspects of nature as well — birds, animals, wildflowers, mountains, lakes, rivers and what else occurs in the world around them.

Knoll is also an accomplished woodworker and will bring some of that art as well to display in glass cases …

He said he was accepted as a Guild member based on his 3-D art and he likes to work with “rescued wood.” If he sees a tree being cut down, he stops to ask for wood. What about drying it, we wonder. Green wood is easier

IF YOU GO St. Andrew United Methodist Church is located at 9203 S. University Blvd., Highlands Ranch. It is open seven days a week, beginning at 8 a.m. The public is invited to enjoy the ongoing art exhibits. Information: gostandrew.com/connect/music/ art/. Kathka and Knoll will have a reception from 10:30 a.m. to noon on Feb. 9. (Artists interested in exhibiting their work email The Arts Ministry: thearts@gostandrew. com). to carve, so he forms a piece and then lets it dry, weighing it to track on drying. Fine finishing follows. If it has a knothole or cracks, he has a food-safe liquid product that can repair it and he is careful that finishes are also food-safe.

Kathka first learned about manual shooting from a couple of Navy buddies, he said and these artists both talked about how today one can “just shoot and look at the computer to see if it works well.” Post processing is a whole different story, they agreed, talking of subscriptions to Photoshop (Knoll has used it for 30 years) and other products one can subscribe to.

They recommend wide-angle lenses.

Knoll also has a longer lens that allows him to merge three shots to create panoramic prints — which he’ll include in the exhibit.

“I’m back to an old film camera for that,” Knoll commented. But he can use the lens on his newest camera as well.

They share satisfaction that grandchildren are being taught to do

“In the Beginning” photo of the Milky Way is exhibited at St. Andrew United Methodist Church in Highlands Ranch Feb. 9-March 11.

COURTESY PHOTO manual shooting in school classes.

Teachers realize the importance of understanding how it all works.

Both use full-frame Nikon cameras and agree that they “make what you’re doing better …” And to shoot the Milky Way, you want as little light as possible. You look for something interesting for the foreground — e.g., a small lake, a pond …

Happy accidents happen too.

Kathka spoke of being set up for a night shot at Echo Lake, after time shooting on Mount Evans, when a car appeared, sweeping lights across the lake. “It lit the foreground nicely,” he said. They also speak of “the blue hour” before sunrise.

They attended a Len Randall class in Rocky Mountain National Park, where they were all too aware of light pollution from Denver. Another lesson learned that night: Kathka fell and Knoll, a first responder, was able to give him some needed care. “I don’t need to be out by myself, alone!”

Kathka said.

The Milky Way offers challenges — Knoll went to the Caribbean, seven degrees north of the equator, before Thanksgiving, where he could use the ocean in the foreground and skies are very dark ... and it was positioned differently — “opposite of what I was used to.”

Kathka said his “In the Beginning” project grew out of a special friendship with a woman who lost everything, including her art collection, in the recent Datura Apartment fire.

She saw Kathka’s night photography and wanted one to start replacing lost works. She also told him of her work with LOVE Inc. in Littleton, which was very involved in helping fire victims with their varied needs. Kathka donated a photo for the fall fundraiser and made some cards as well. Knoll donated wooden bowls. Both are members of the organization.

“Between us, we’ll have close to 90 works,” they say.

Gov. Jared Polis and the Douglas County commissioners spoke to local business leaders during the Chamber of Northwest Douglas County annual breakfast Jan. 31, emphasizing their points of pride from the previous year’s work and outlining priorities for the coming one.

Polis focused on his goals of reducing both health care costs and income tax and improving air quality.

“We also continue to work on growing our green energy economy,” he said. “The Denver area was just rated the fourth worst in the country for air quality, so we want to approach that in a number of ways.”

Polis also highlighted a recent designation awarded to the county.

“There’s so much exciting work that we need to keep doing to keep our state moving and to keep our economy moving, and I look forward to working with all of our great partners in the healthiest county in the state of Colorado,” he said.

FELTS FROM PAGE 13

Being honest about how we view our health and the way we want our concerns managed should align with our physician’s point of view. If we prefer a more holistic approach to our medical care, working with a doctor who practices a blend of Eastern and Western medicine may be a better match for us than a doctor who only practices traditional medicine. When patients and physicians have rapport it strengthens the patient physician partnership and creates a mutually beneficial relationship. Now that’s good medicine!

SPORTS STUDENT-ATHLETE STUDENT ATHLETE SPOTLIGHT

Focusing on teamwork Q&A with Lowe Who is your favorite athlete and why?

Nikola Jokic. He’s kind of underrated.

He just kind of does his thing and works really hard and performs really well for the team.

What or who motivates you most to excel in sports?

I really want my team to do well and I would also say my family. We are all really big into sports and seeing my parents get excited when we win really motivates me to work hard.

What would be a perfect performance in your sport?

A perfect performance would be 100 percent free throws and maybe 20 points.

Also I would say good rebounds and assists. Maybe an ideal would be a triple double but I don’t know if there are enough minutes in a game for that.

What are your plans after high school?

I am planning on going to a nursing school in an honors program and it is pretty much between Missouri and Tennessee right now.

What habits to you have before shooting a free throw?

I always get the ball, take a deep breath, dribble the ball five times, line my hands on the ball with the seams and then shoot.

Ally Lowe aims to become nurse practitioner

BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A

lly Lowe is included in so many activities at Legend High School that the list is too lengthy to include.

Lowe, an honors student, is planning to pursue a nursing career and is also a 5-foot-10 senior who is one of the leaders on the Titans’ girls basketball team.

“I like to do a lot and just kind of broaden my horizons and figure out what I like and make a lot of connections and have a good time at high school,” Lowe said. “In the future I want to be a nurse practitioner.

“A good basketball team is a team of selfless players who are working for the unit and not just for themselves. That’s similar with nursing. It’s not that one nurse can do it all, but it’s everybody working together to help a patient or help the hospital or the practice. But if one kind of goes out from the others, nothing will work. It is just a unit.”

What is your favorite book?

“The Great Gatsby” by F. Scott Fitzgerald. We just read it in my AP literature class and it was very interesting to me to see a perspective into the 1920s.

Where did your creative play in the paint come from?

Mental toughness and smartness of the game. Thinking about not what is going on right now but the next play, the next move and always just being prepared.

COACH’S TAKE: ‘She is having a great year and has really progressed. She is very clever and has a nice touch around the basket. She is a funny kid and a straight A student.’

John Angelo, Legend girls basktball coach

Key stats | After 13 games, Lowe was averaging 9.6 points and 5.5 rebounds a game.

Still trying to warm up to esports

F

irst of all, I admit that I’m a little old school.

I generally like and prefer the way things used to be handled.

Which brings me to the first Esports League of Legends state championship for the pilot sport, which was held Jan. 25.

I’m having a hard time welcoming esports OVERTIME into the Colorado High School Activities Association.

Esports, or electronic sports, is a form of competition using video games.

It is a controJim Benton versial point for debate whether esports is a sport. It is gaining popularity, and most of the world considers electronic sports to be a sport because of the planning, timing and execution required.

CHSAA wanted to bring the competition into the schools and have a big-time championship, which I applaud, but it is still not a physical sport and it will take a while for esports to attract interest from me.

Ryan Casey, the CHSAA director of digital media, called the first esports championship amazing and labeled esports as a good pilot program.

Casey wrote about the first championship, which was won

by Cherry Creek with a 2-0 win over Gateway. Highlands Ranch and Bear Creek were the other two semifinal teams among the 56 teams that were in the first pilot program season.

Reading Casey’s story was like reading Greek to me, with plenty of words I did not understand — like towers, eliminations and dragons.

Don’t ask what any of the terms mean. This is all new to me.

According to Casey, Vlad Dolzhenko dealt 56,327 damage, had a 13-4 kill/death ratio and 28 assists to lead the Bruins in the finals.

Casey also pointed out that Gateway’s Leonid Chyzhykov had what apparently is an outstanding KDA line of 18/2/11 against Bear Creek in the semis.
