The issue igniting the county election Tri-County Health pullout now hottest topic in commissioners’ races

BY ELLIOTT WENZLER AND JESSICA GIBBS COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA

When the 2020 race to elect two of the three Douglas County commis-

sioners kicked off, candidates were gearing up for a race focused on long-standing issues like transportation, growth, school safety and gun control.

That was before COVID-19 arrived, followed by last month’s move by the current commissioners to pull the county out of the Tri-County Health Department. And suddenly, a whole new set of political topics took center stage.

Now, commissioner hopefuls are sparring over government maskwearing orders, personal liberty and, most significantly, whether or not it’s time for the county to create its own health department.

As the COVID-19 pandemic and related business restrictions continue to loom over local economies, Douglas County leaders are keeping a close eye on indicators such as sales tax revenue as the figures become available.

From January through May, the county’s sales tax revenue, which depicts how much local buying is happening, was up nearly 6% compared to the same period last year, according to county data.

“We were all kind of expecting a big decrease,” said county budget director Martha Marshall.

Even with the early increase in revenue, Marshall wouldn’t draw any conclusions about the future impact of the virus on the county’s economy, she said.

“It’s way too early to understand what the coming months will look like,” she said. “There are too many variables to understand what direction it will take in the future.”

Douglas County’s month-to-month data for this time period compared to last year shows just how difficult finding a trend can be. In January, the county saw a 15.5% increase in sales tax revenue compared to 2019 and in February, a 12.9% increase. Growth slowed in March, however, as the pandemic and mandated shutdowns SEE TAX, P7

State House Rep. Mark Baisley gave an overview of his district to other legislators during an Colorado Competitive Council event Aug. 7 at Sterling Ranch designed to introduce lawmakers to their colleagues’ con-

stituents and business leaders.

The Roxborough Park Republican represents District 39, which includes much of Douglas County and all of Teller County.

“Primarily, House District 39, and really most of Douglas County, is a bedroom community of professional people,” Baisley said. “People take care of themselves and are highly motivated, ...very independent sort of folk.”

During the event, Lockheed Martin, STEM School Highlands Ranch and the Sterling Ranch community gave presentations about their businesses

and various approaches to innovation.

Lockheed Martin’s space operations are headquartered in a complex near the mouth of Waterton Canyon in unincorporated Douglas County, where the deep-space crew vehicle Orion is being developed.

The company’s joint venture with Boeing, a space-launch business called United Launch Alliance, is based in Centennial.

During the Sterling Ranch presentation, founder Harold Smethills and Chief Technology Officer Brock Smethills went over some current happenings on their property. The community is beginning to build its second village, called Ascent, and is gearing up to open a new community center in a few weeks, Harold said.

While Lockheed Martin is not technically in Baisley’s district, the company gave a presentation during the event about its business and its latest developments.

A large, inflatable model of the Orion space capsule stood outside of Sterling Ranch during the event.

Once operational, the capsule is planned for a variety of missions beyond earth orbit, including a trip to the moon, according to Lockheed Martin’s website.

The executive director of STEM School Highlands Ranch, which is also in another house district, also gave a presentation about how they inspire students.

Also in attendance were state Sen. Tammy Story (D-Golden) and state Reps Yadira Caraveo (D-Thornton), Julie McCluskie (D-Dillon), Perry Will (R-Rifle), Janice Rich (R-Grand Junction), Matthew Soper (R-Delta) and Kyle Mullica (D-Northglenn).

Later in the day the legislators visited the Douglas County Sheriff ’s Office training facility and had lunch at the Arrowhead Golf Course in Roxborough Park.

Douglas County Sheriff Tony Spurlock has moved the county from stage 2 to stage 1 fire restrictions, according to an announcement from the sheriff ’s office. This ruling, under ordinance No. O-012-004, restricts open fires, open burning and the use of fireworks in the unincorporated areas of Douglas County.

With the fire restriction stage being downgraded, Douglas County residents can now use chimineas and other portable fireplaces or patio fire pits, hold campfires at developed campgrounds and attend professional firework displays.

General guidance for Stage 1 restrictions for unincorporated Douglas County is as follows, according to the release: Prohibited activities: Open burning of any kind.

Use of fireworks.

Allowable activities: Fires within liquid-fueled or gas-fueled stoves, fireplaces within buildings, charcoal grill fires within developed residential or commercial areas, and fires within wood burning stoves within buildings only.

Professional fireworks displays permitted according to section 12-28-103 of the C.R.S. Fire suppression or fire department training fires.

Small recreational fires at developed picnic or campground sites contained in fixed permanent metal/steel fire pits (rock fire rings are considered temporary and not permanent) with flame lengths not in excess of four feet or the residential use of charcoal grills, tiki torches, fires in chimineas or other portable fireplaces or patio fire pits, so long as said fires are supervised by a responsible person at least 18 years of age.

Violation of these fire restrictions is a Class-2 Petty Offense, punishable by up to a $1000.00 fine and a $10.00 surcharge, according to the release.

Charity sends relief funds to local nonprofits Douglas County Community Foundation focuses on groups affected by pandemic

BY ELLIOTT WENZLER EWENZLER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

As the COVID-19 pandemic has ravaged businesses throughout Colorado, it’s not just restaurants and malls that have been affected -- some nonprofits have also been impacted as their demands surge and donations dwindle.

That’s why the Douglas County Community Foundation, which manages and distributes charitable funds for other local nonprofits, created a recovery fund in April to help finance these organizations. In three rounds of fundraising, the group divvied up the $50,000 they garnered between 22 local nonprofits, including the Help & Hope Center, the Crisis Center, Manna Cares, SECORCares and the Castle Rock Senior Center.

“We are deeply committed to helping our nonprofit partners that support our most vulnerable residents in both the short-term and with longterm recovery efforts,” said Allison Cusick, DCCF’s director of philanthropy and community engagement.

During the beginning of the pandemic, many of these groups saw spikes in their demands or service while seeing dips in their donations, Cusick said. Douglas County food banks alone saw a 400% increase in demand from new families seeking assistance, according to county data.

Carrie Buchan, chief operating officer at DCCF, hopes that as the pandemic stretches on, Douglas County residents will “give where they live” more often, she said.

“We have one of the healthiest and wealthiest communities in the U.S.

but we still have need,” Buchan said.

“As our community grows, the needs within our community grow.”

One of the organizations DCCF donated to during this time is the Aging Resources of Douglas County.

The organization, which started as a senior transportation program, has transformed in recent years into a multidimensional resource center for residents over 60 who are experiencing any number of issues, said Lori Gloer, ARDC’s director of community engagement.

Before the pandemic hit, the group’s members had access to a companion program, handy workers for small tasks, volunteer house cleaners and help with other in-home services.

But as the virus spread in Colorado and research showed that people over the age of 60 are at risk for the illness, the nonprofit was forced to scale back its in-person offerings. Instead, the group focused on phone call checkins, critical transportation services for things like doctor’s visits and providing essentials such as groceries, toilet paper and prescriptions to their members.

“People are really needing help during this time,” Gloer said.

The group, which is free to join, provides services to about 600 people, she said.

“Our transportation expenses have gone up, so we’ve been fortunate to have those (DCCF) funds to help with things like that,” Gloer said. “It really came in handy.”

Residents can sign up to be a member by visiting agingresourcesdougco. org or by calling 303-814-4300.

“We’re here to help,” Gloer said. “If there’s any older adults facing issues, please reach out. We’re happy to help out.”

Donations to DCCF can be made by visiting dccf.org.

“We are a central place for people to donate money,” Cusick said. “And we work with the community to then give it back out.”

Frequent hand washing or using hand sanitizer when it’s not feasible to wash, maintaining physical distance from others, wearing facial coverings when recommended, and staying home when you are sick are ways to help keep you and your neighbors healthy and safe.

ELECTION FROM PAGE 1

Health Department,” said Jimmy Sengenberger, a conservative radio host in the Denver area and a columnist for Colorado Politics magazine.

Many right-leaning residents in the county are increasingly frustrated by the appointed health department staff ’s authority to make decisions for the community, Sengenberger said.

“It’s really an energizing issue for the conservatives,” he said.

The Republican candidates aren’t the only ones focusing on the proposed Tri-County divorce. So are Democrats, many of whom oppose or at least question the pullout.

“I feel like the progressive candidates are taking that as one of their major selling points,” said Ian Silverii, executive director of the politicaladvocacy group ProgressNow Colorado, about the commissioners’ race.

Democrats hope that what they see as widespread public opposition to the Tri-County pullout will give them a shot at winning in what traditionally has been a solidly conservative county, one with an all-Republican board of commissioners that often votes unanimously.

As of Aug. 4, registered Republicans in Douglas County outnumbered registered Democrats by 2-1 — 104,487 to 52,637 — with 109,162 unaffiliated voters and 3,823 registered to small parties.

In 2016, every precinct in the county turned in majority votes for Donald Trump except for scattered neighborhoods in Highlands Ranch, Lone Tree and the Meridian-Grand View Estates areas at the county’s north end, according to a New York Times analysis.

‘The elephant in the room’ Voters this fall will select commissioners in districts 2 and 3. District 1 Commissioner Abe Laydon is midway through his term.

Although the districts encompass different parts of the county, the commisioners are elected “at large” countywide.

District 3 Commissioner Lora Thomas, a Republican, is defending her seat against Democratic challenger Darien Wilson. And after announcing the planned split from Tri-County, she’s been defending that move on the campaign trail as well.

“Of course, the elephant in the room is the Tri-County Health decision, and it’s very clear that we have been having discussions about TriCounty for a while,” Thomas said.

Thomas emphasized the commissioners’ issue was less with the health department’s employees — noting Executive Director John Douglas helped commissioners secure 13 “variances” — exceptions to state health rules that restricted business activities and gatherings — to reopen Douglas County amid the pandemic.

Instead, she said, the pullout plan has more to do with governance by an agency that sets public-health policy for Douglas, Arapahoe and Adams County.

Tri-County’s nine-member board is appointed by commissioners in its three-county jurisdiction but acts independently.

“The concern was the nine-member, unelected board of health that made a decision contrary to Dr. Douglas’ recommendation,” she said.

Douglas had said a mask mandate was not necessary in Douglas County before the health board voted 5-4 on July 8 to require masks in all of Tri-

County’s jurisdiction for 90 days. The order gave communities the ability to opt out.

“We have a representative form of government and it’s imperative that our citizens have their needs recommended,” Thomas said.

‘Science isn’t partisan’ Wilson, the Democrat seeking to oust Thomas, called cutting ties with Tri-County “fiscally irresponsible and politically motivated.”

“We have economies of scale when we share resources with two other counties,” she said. “They will have to duplicate efforts by setting up a health department here.”

In under a year, in order to create a new health agency, Douglas County would need to hire dozens of public health managers and employees and conduct a national search for a new executive director, she said.

“Who is going to want to come work here when the leadership is pushing them to make decisions that are against evidence-based best practices?” Wilson said. “We are going to end up with someone who is highly partisan.”

Leaving Tri-County in a pandemic “is not protecting the safety and welfare of the citizens,” she said.

Wilson also criticized an argument commonly used against Tri-County Health — that the agency is run by unelected bureaucrats.

“My thinking is science isn’t partisan, and having a non-partisan scientist make recommendations based on the science (is) actually better, because they are neutral,” she said.

“They don’t have an agenda.”

Wilson said that, if elected, she would work to stay in Tri-County — “if they would have us.”

‘It is the right time’ In the District 2 race, with incumbent Roger Partridge term limited, Republican George Teal faces Democrat Lisa Neal-Graves.

To Teal, a Castle Rock councilmember, the pandemic has generated new and heightened interest in politics among community members.

“I really think there’s been an awakening of personal liberty. I think there are a lot of us who had never considered that before — the effect that government can have on their lives,” he said.

The pandemic also forced candidates to throw out their campaign playbooks, he said. County assemblies were held virtually. The pandemic “constrained our ability” to knock on doors.

“You can’t have the mass gatherings of campaign supporters at fundraisers anymore,” he said. “It really redefined how the campaign went.”

Tri-County Health Department is based in Greenwood Village. The health department serves Adams, Arapahoe and Douglas counties.

PHOTO BY ELLIOTT WENZLER Teal believes leaving Tri-County Health is the “right move. And it is the right time.”

Teal said joining Tri-County Health after the 1965 South Platte River flood devastated the area made sense. The county’s growth is one reason he supports setting up a county health department today.

Douglas County’s population was a few thousand in the 1960s, compared to an estimated 351,000 today.

Well before county commissioners announced their intent to withdraw from Tri-County Health, the possibility of a new local health department was already brewing in Castle Rock, with support from Teal.

The councilmember on May 19 made a motion to have town staff research the idea of creating a municipal health department. The idea was floated at previous council meetings, Teal said, and he wanted to more formally explore leaving Tri-County Health.

The motion passed unanimously, with several councilmembers expressing support for researching a municipal health department and working with county commissioners to see if other Douglas County communities had interest in withdrawing as well.

At the time, Teal said there was no rush to leave Tri-County Health, and that the suggestion was not meant to address the current COVID-19 crisis.

But it would help Castle Rock prepare for the next crisis, he said.

“I think we have an obligation to

the town to plan today,” Teal said May 19.

‘It’s a 50-year relationship’ Democratic candidate Neal-Graves has taken a more cautious stance than District 3 Democratic candidate Wilson on reversing the current board’s move to break up with TriCounty.

Neal-Graves said she would “do the work to understand what the issues” are driving that decision. She vowed to make residents aware of whatever her findings were.

But she also said given what she knows now, “it would be really difficult to support a separation” and questioned the cost-effectiveness of a county department as opposed to the partnership Douglas County has now with Adams and Arapahoe counties through Tri-County Health.

“I just don’t know how we would actually replicate what we have with those guys,” she said. “It’s a 50-year relationship. You don’t just walk away from a 50-year relationship.”

Neal-Graves said she did scrutinize how commissioners handled the decision, listening to a virtual meeting on July 14 in which commissioners addressed the issue with constituents.

Everyone who spoke during the public comment portion of the meeting voiced opposition to leaving TriCounty Health.

Neal-Graves said residents should have had a chance to weigh in before SEE ELECTION, P5

Summer reading ends with donation, ice cream 5 million minutes were tallied by participants STAFF REPORT

To celebrate the end of the “Splash Into Summer” library reading program, an ice cream truck visited all Douglas County Libraries locations July 29 through July 31, handing out more than 2,000 free treats, according to a release from DCL. “We had a blast, and everyone loved celebrating with a cold treat,” said DCL special events coordinator Kristen Kallio, according to the release.

“Splash Into Summer” wrapped up on July 31, with more than 10,000 registered participants who read for a combined 5 million minutes. To celebrate that milestone, the Douglas County Libraries Foundation donated $1,000 to the COVID-19 Recovery Fund through the Douglas County Community Foundation, according to the release.

The DCL Foundation is also awarding the following four Douglas County School District-affiliated schools with $500 each for having the most sign-ups through the reading program’s School Contest.

ELECTION FROM PAGE 4

Douglas County made a decision.

“The call (on July 14), in my humble opinion, should have been what they did in the first place,” she said. “The people elect you as their voice but that doesn’t mean they don’t want to share their voice with you.”

‘Bleeding and cross partisanship’ As conservative commentator Sengenberger sees it, the progressive focus on the Tri-County issue fits in neatly with a liberal, national narrative that the political right doesn’t respect science, he said.

“Liberals are looking at this to highlight the idea that Republicans and conservatives are not following science and are guided by ideological ideas that aren’t rooted in science,” he said.

Even if the Tri-County divorce is the hot topic in the commissioners races now doesn’t mean it will stay that way, progressive commentator Silverii suggests.

With less than three months remaining until election day and the severity of the COVID-19 pandemic changing daily, all sorts of new issues could rise up and take the lead between now and then, he said.

“I’ve hung up my crystal ball for the remainder of this election. I didn’t predict a global pandemic virus would kick everything we were talking about out of the frame, and then I didn’t predict that racial justice protests would kick the virus out of frame,” Silverii said.

“If Douglas County unfortunately experiences a spike (in COVID-19 cases), ... then I think it will have an effect.”

The question is if these issues will play out along party lines or not, Silverii said.

“I think there will be some bleeding and cross partisanship,” he said, “based on how people see this thing being handled.”

HYBRID FROM PAGE 1

Caleb, began kindergarten at South Ridge Elementary School in Castle Rock this fall. She wanted to contribute to her family’s income after he made the transition.

But as school drew closer, anxiety built up in her 6-year-old son. A new school. New teachers. No friends he knew. The list of stressors did not stop with the nervousness he felt toward starting kindergarten.

COVID-19 hurled more unknowns into the mix.

School would look far from normal with pandemic precautions in place, Pease said. She expected that to make things harder for him.

Then the Douglas County School District announced on July 25 it would reopen schools on a “hybrid model,” with children learning in class two days a week and at home online three days a week.

The new job would not pay enough to support child care. She and her husband, Josh, do not have family in the area to help. Most of their friends were facing the same hurdles, she said.

Pease did not know how to make hybrid work.

Her family had planned to send Caleb to whatever amount of inperson school was possible. But with his mounting anxiety, his young age, and a lack of child care, they changed course.

“We decided to home school,” she said. “We’ll home school and we’ll try again next year.”

Hybrid learning The Pease family is one of thousands in Douglas County deciding how to school their children in the age of COVID-19.

For some, the district’s previous plan of sending children back to classrooms 100% of the time was unthinkable in a pandemic. For others full in-person learning is the only way they know how to make life work.

Under the district’s hybrid learning model, students will be divided into two groups, called cohorts.

The groups will alternate attending school in-person and at home, Monday through Thursday. Both will attend school online on Fridays.

This will allow schools to have no more than 50% of students in the building at once, according to the district.

Hybrid students will attend school in-person only one day the week of Aug. 17 as they undergo orientation. Students enrolled in full online learning can attend that in-person orientation if they wish, in addition to an orientaiton for virtual students.

All students will have their first full day of school on Aug. 24, as plans stood at press time.

Families that previously committed to either online or hybrid learning for the semester can change their selection if needed -- but not until the end of the first semester.

In a July 27 letter to the community, Tucker said the district believes a hybrid model was “the next best thing” if DCSD could not safely bring students back to 100% in-person learning.

“We recognize that students are best served by attending school in person, surrounded by their peers and guided by our talented teachers and support staff,” Tucker said. He was not available for comment for this story.

The Pease family will home school their children during the 2020-21 school year.

‘Trying to move forward’ The decision to switch from full inperson instruction to a hybrid model came during an hours-long special meeting on July 25.

School board directors heard directly from a panel of school principals during their meeting. The administrators were clear, maintaining all COVID-19 precautions laid out by the district would be difficult if schools returned to full, in-person learning.

“It is much more do-able with a hybrid model,” Northridge Elementary Principal Katie Lynch said.

The local teachers union, Douglas County Federation supported the swich to hybrid learning given recent COVID-19 trends in the county, President Kallie Leyba said.

The union has also advocated for a block schedule at high schools, which Leyba said will limit teachers’ contact with students, minimize how often classrooms need to be cleaned and scale down the number of students passing one another in hallways.

Maria Volker is a union member and Highlands Ranch High School teacher. An educator since 1989, who spent roughly 20 years teaching with DCSD, Volker said she is scared to return to school.

Volker called the previous plan to return to full in-person learning “horrific” and felt relieved by the switch to hybrid learning.

She’s seen firsthand how the virus can take lives — her brother-in-law died in April from COVID-19, she said.

Had schools fully reopened, the 60-year-old would have felt forced to return out of a need for work, and would have done so under immense stress, she said. She did not request an online teaching assignment to reserve those spots for employees at greater risk for the virus, she said.

“I was very appreciative that they listened to all sides and made a decision,” Volker said. “It’s a middle-of-

the-road decision. It’s a compromise.

But at least we are trying to move forward.”

Volker said she did not know how she would balance the in-person and online learning under the hybrid model.

“We’ve never done this before,” she said. “I think we just have to see how it goes. I don’t think we are going to know the answers until we actually start it.”

She also worries about students carrying the virus into schools despite precautions. Volker is going to hang a clear shower curtain around her desk because the district is not providing plexiglass, she said.

“The kids, they are going to crack up when they see the shower curtain, but that’s OK,” she said.

The district does have a number of personal protective equipment options available for staff, including masks available to any student or staff member who needs one. Volker will wear a mask and a face shield, she said.

“We are dealing with people’s lives. It’s really not a joke. These are people’s lives at risk. You’ve got to do your part,” she said.

Weighing the options Kate Welsh, a Highlands Ranch mother of two district students, said in late July that her family remained undecided between hybrid and online learning. She needed more answers about her son’s schooling,

she said, but she was leaning toward 100% e-learning.

Welsh’s 8-year-old son Henry is on the autism spectrum and has an individualized education plan, she said.

The sudden transition to remote learning in the spring was “really rough for him.”

He needs routine, she said, and Henry struggled when she couldn’t tell him when or if he would return to school during his spring semester.

With online learning this fall, he could at least know what’s ahead, she said.

“We can set those expectations upfront, that no, your classroom is our dining room. We got you a cool green case for your Chromebook and we’ll figure this out,” she said.

She also suspects the district will switch to full online learning at some point in the school year, and so Henry would be better prepared for that transition, she said.

“Maybe I’m hedging my bets the wrong way, but looking at the numbers, I don’t think I am,” she said.

Welsh’s 5-year-old daughter Molly was eager to start kindergarten.

“So excited to be a big kid and to go to big kid school and to get to carry her backpack and buy lunch, all of those things. She was so excited,” Welsh said.

Hybrid might have given her “some of the traditional kindergarten experience,” which made that SEE HYBRID, P7

reached Colorado. The county saw only a 7.7% increase that month compared to March last year, followed by an 8.7% decrease in April.

In May, sales tax revenue began to grow again, though at a slower pace. The county saw a 4.5% increase compared to May 2019, according to the data.

When the county looked into where the increases were coming from, officials found upticks in areas like online, home improvement and warehouse sales — meaning stores like Costco and Sam’s Club.

model appealing as well, she said.

“I think hybrid is a great alternative to five days a week. That seemed entirely too risky to our teachers, our staff, all of our students, to me,” she said. “We in no way even considered going back full time, five days a week.”

Still, she felt as though she would need a crystal ball before truly being comfortable selecting a hybrid model, and some idea of when a COVID-19 vaccine would become available.

The family ended up choosing the e-learning option, she said.

“I would love nothing more than for my kids to be in their classrooms but the minimal amount of

And as far as the county’s budget goes, it’s unclear what impact the coronavirus will actually make.

“We’re actually holding our own right now because February and January came in so strong,” Marshall said. “We’re very close to what we budgeted.”

The county’s sales tax revenue is split between three areas: public safety, transportation and roads and open space.

The Town of Parker, which receives even more up-to-date information than the county, has seen an 8.3% increase in sales tax revenue from January to July compared to the same period last year, according to a county spokesperson.

The town’s original budget included a 2% growth rate for sales tax rev-

enue over the year compared to 2019, said town finance director Mary Lou Brown in an emailed statement. However, when the pandemic first arrived, the town reduced their entire budget by 25% as a “worst-case scenario,” she said.

“Based on year-to-date numbers, we expect to exceed the original budget as well as the adjusted budget,” she said.

In a town report for the year up to April, Parker showed a year-to-date increase of 4.45%, showing a slight uptick compared to the previous year’s time period, which had a 3.98% increase.

“During the months of March and April 2020, consumers were purchasing goods in preparation for staying at home which is most likely the main driver in the increase,” according to

the report.

In Castle Rock, sales tax revenue from the start of the year through May was up by 2.3%.

“The pandemic’s impact on specific industries in Castle Rock has been a mix,” said spokeswoman Mellisa Hoelting.

Apparel sales in the town went down 47% and restaurant and bar sales went down 14%, Hoelting said.

However, online retailers are up 30 to 50%, home and garden stores and grocery stores are up about 20% each, she said.

“We anticipate that March and April will be the worst months impacted, assuming no other shutdowns, with May being slightly better,” she said.

“Moving forward, we anticipate the rest of the year to be stronger.”

transitions between learning environments is essential for my kids,” she said by text message on Aug. 6.

“Ultimately, the certainty of 100% virtual won out. We’ll reevaluate at the close of the semester.”

Josh Cervantes and his wife, both health care workers in Douglas County hospitals, empathize with community members’ fears about returning to school, Cervantes said.

They still support a full return to inperson learning.

“I completely, fully understand.

Everybody has their right to their own opinion. We certainly are aware that children are less likely to get the virus, but we also are aware that they can carry it,” he said.

The Castle Rock family was thrilled to hear Douglas County planned to return with full in-person learning, then shocked by the switch to the hybrid model, he said.

When the district switched to

remote learning in the spring, Cervantes said he received tearful calls from his then-fifth-grade student struggling with schoolwork.

Cervantes is a systems analyst at Sky Ridge Medical Center in Lone Tree and his wife is a medical assistant at Castle Rock Adventist hospital. Both being essential workers, neither could stay home to help their children with remote learning.

Cervantes’ then-seventh-grade son helped his younger brother with assignments, he said, but that then set him behind in schoolwork. Cervantes would come home from work and spend hours helping his oldest catch up.

“We’d be up until 10 o’clock every time just trying to make sure that all the assignments were on time,” he said. “Hats off to my son for stepping up and taking care of his little brother in our absence.”

The family is facing significant challenges with the hybrid learning model, he said.

Cervantes and his wife plan to rearrange their work schedules, taking turns working four, 10-hours shifts a week and spending their off days to help the children with school.

They still don’t know how to manage transportation. Unlike last year, neither of their children will be able to ride the bus when they attend Mesa Middle School this year, he said.

The Cervantes family wears masks. They socially distance. They practice good hygiene and frequent hand washing, he said, and they want their kids back in school.

“Knowing that we are doing our best, we would hope that the rest of the community would do their best and create a safe environment for the kids, for the sake of their education,” he said.

COVID-19 resources: Where to turn for help How to find assistance with food, housing, personal needs and more

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Maybe you’ve lost your family’s child care. Maybe you barely broke even this month. Maybe you’re on the verge of having to fend for yourself on the street.

Maybe you’re a business owner, fighting to keep your doors open for your workers.

Or maybe you’re an older adult, isolated and unsure of where to turn for help picking up groceries or your prescriptions.

The coronavirus pandemic has been raging through Colorado for five months, but there are still people, nonprofits, government programs and other information that can help you make it through.

Their services range from job training and job-search assistance to free, confidential support for mental health and substance-use concerns.

We’ve compiled a list of programs that can help. For all of the website links for the programs mentioned below, go online to tinyurl.com/COVID19-help.

Rent, mortgage assistance, eviction help A program to help Coloradans make their rent and mortgage payments launched in mid-July.

If you’re facing eviction, other resources that may help you are located on the Colorado Department of Local Affairs’ website.

Counties and municipalities may still be offering financial and other assistance as well. Contact your city, town or county government for more information.

Find other housing and low-income assistance on the website for 2-1-1 Colorado, the statewide resource system for people in need.

Food assistance Hunger Free Colorado, a statewide nonprofit, works to keep food access information up to date for communities across Colorado. Hunger Free offers a food resource hotline to help individuals and families access food, according to 2-1-1 Colorado.

Find food resources on Hunger Free’s website or call the hotline at 855-855-4626 from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

Monday through Friday.

For food pantries and other resources, see 2-1-1 Colorado’s site.

School district-provided meals Chalkbeat, a nonprofit news organization, maintains a list of locations where school districts provided meals during the spring school closures due to the pandemic.

Many districts offer summer meal programs as well. Contact your student’s district for information.

For older adults A Little Help, a Colorado nonprofit, serves older adults. The organization equipped background-checked, prescreened volunteers to grocery shop, pick up prescriptions and run other essential errands for older adults, according to one of Colorado’s COVID-19 resource webpages.

Regular “care calls” to older adults for social connection, health and safety checks, snow shoveling, and yard chores are also among the nonprofit’s services — while practicing social distancing to minimize risk, according to the webpage.

A Little Help has operations from metro Denver to northern Colorado and in the Roaring Fork Valley, according to the page. Visit the nonprofit’s

Child care The Colorado Child Care Assistance Program helps families that are homeless, working, searching for work or in school to find low-income child care assistance.

Each county’s human services department help manage the program, according to the Colorado Office of Early Childhood. Each county sets eligibility requirements but must help families that have income of 185% or less of the federal poverty guideline.

You can learn about applying for assistance on the Colorado Office of Early Childhood’s website.

See other information for children and families on the Colorado Department of Human Services’ website.

Paying utilities Comcast is offering new, low-income customers two months of free internet, and during the COVID-19 pandemic, Xcel Energy will not disconnect service to any residential customers until further notice, according to its website.

Individuals having difficulty paying bills are encouraged to contact Xcel’s customer service center to arrange a payment plan that works for them.

In response to the pandemic, an organization called Energy Outreach Colorado has increased the number of times individuals can access assistance to help pay utility bills, according to 2-1-1 Colorado.

See Energy Outreach Colorado’s website or call 1-866-432-8435.

See more information on 2-1-1 Colorado’s website.

Health insurance Coloradans who experience “a lifechanging event” — such as losing jobbased coverage, moving, getting married or having a baby — are eligible for a special enrollment period. That’s a 60-day window to buy or change health care plans, according to Connect for Health Colorado, the state’s official health insurance marketplace.

VOICES

A reader who hasn’t given up keeps giving

anet,” one of my readers, can no longer read. That means she can no longer handwrite letters like the ones she has been QUIET sending to me for the past three or DESPERATION four years.

Hers were the only personal letters I have received this century. She prefers the intimacy of stationery, stamps and envelopes. Not only that, she doesn’t own a computer.

Craig Marshall She lives alone in Franktown and Smith doesn’t get around much anymore because of her age, the coronavirus, and now this.

Janet left a long, poignant phone message, and implored me not to think of the ramifications of being almost sightless.

Of course, that’s an impossibility.

I first heard about Helen Keller

when I was in grade school. Later Ray Charles and Stevie Wonder, who was first called “Little” Stevie Wonder.

In seventh grade, my music teacher told us Beethoven was totally deaf by the age of 44 or 45, but continued to compose music.

There have been a number of individuals limited in one way or another who have accomplished extraordinary things. In particular, I am still amazed by Keller. She was the first deaf-blind person to receive a Bachelor of Arts degree.

In the final months of my father’s life, he was unable to eat, drink, walk or talk. My sister and I had Power of Medical, but he took it away from us and insisted on a stomach port and a feeding tube.

They didn’t work.

His will to live was something to behold. It was unbearable to behold.

Janet is still able to hear. A friend is reading my columns to her. This also means she can listen to music.

Nietzsche said, “Without music, life would be a mistake.”

There are recorded books but Janet may not be interested. Her call left the impression that her loss of sight had affected her enthusiasm for living.

As a writer, the inability for me to write would be unacceptable.

Then, I hear about how Stephen Hawking communicated, eventually by using a single cheek muscle.

Sure, Janet could dictate. It wouldn’t be the same, but it would be better than nothing? Or would it?

It would be almost impossible, given the way I think, somewhat haphazardly, to dictate a column to someone who, inevitably and understandably, would want to strangle me.

Janet’s letters were in-depth and welcome critical reviews of my columns. She always noted my references, my wording, my humor (or attempts).

We’ve all witnessed the consequences of a long life — Janet is Level Eight — with ourselves, family members, or friends. And, of course, pets.

After a recent column about Harry and his life expectancy, I heard from readers who understood. Right now, safe-at-home, without Harry, life with or without music would be a mistake.

One of my doctors told me to disregard “old age” and think in terms of “Levels.” If you’re 30, you’re Level Three. Forty, Level Four.

The mirror knows better, doesn’t it?

My high school English teacher is Level Eight. She’s falling apart, she says. I told her Olivia de Havilland reached Level Ten. My high school English teacher said, “No, no, no.”

(Keller was closing in on Level Nine when she died.)

Oh, Janet. I’m sorry. In your message you encouraged me to continue what I have been doing. I will and a thought of you will be in every column.

Craig Marshall Smith is an artist, educator and Highlands Ranch resident. He can be reached at craigmarshallsmith@comcast.net.

Is it time to change the station?

M LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Darien Wilson is right choice The Douglas County Board of County Commissioners is continuing to find new ways to make bad decisions.

Their latest mistake comes in the form of moving Douglas County out of the Tri-County Health Department, all for the sake of Tri-County doing their best to follow data and keep Douglas County residents alive.

Our incumbent county commissioners, feeling offended by a directive to put a millimeter of cloth over your face, want to pull Douglas County out of a cost-effective, taxsaving, and effective partnership with our neighboring counties. By sharing a health

department with other suburban communities, we reduce overhead without surrendering service quality.

True to their nature, the county commissioners have also chosen the worst possible time to make this decision. In what world do you want to forsake your health department and start building an untested and expensive alternative in the middle of a global pandemic? How does that serve taxpayers? How does that help keep small businesses open in Douglas County? It does not.

Choosing to leave Tri-County Health during COVID-19 is like choosing to build a ship, SEE LETTERS, P11

aybe you may have heard of this radio station before, WIIFM, which stands for “What’s in it for me?” This has been one of the most WINNING popular stations that many WORDS of us have tuned into for far too long. And now, it might be time to change the station.

The new station we all should try and tune into is WIIFY, “What’s in it for you?”

What if our conversations, actions and attitudes centered around how we Michael Norton can help others instead of wondering how they can help us get what we want? I can share what would happen as I echo the most famous quote by Zig Ziglar, “You can have everything in life that you want, if you will just help enough other people get what they want.”

What if every day we tried harder to hear with an ear of understanding, listening for opportunities to help? Not just listening long enough to jump in and talk about ourselves or our needs, but truly listening to the needs of others. Here is what Joel Osteen says, “Encouragement to others is something everyone can give.

Somebody needs what you have to give.

It may not be your money; it may be your time. It may be your listening ear. It may be your arms to encourage. It may your smile to uplift. Who knows?”

What if our field of vison and line of

sight was broader, actively seeking people to serve rather than looking for others to serve us? One of my favorite books, “The Pilgrim’s Progress,” a book that has been translated in 200 languages and has never been out of print, was written by John Bunyan. And he said it this way, “You have not lived until you have done something for someone who can never repay you.”

It is easy to search the internet for positive quotes that can inspire and motivate us to help others. And I love seeing the creativity of how people turn awesome quotes into amazing messages. The question is how long do those last? Do they last only long enough for us to post something on social media and hope someone sees it, likes it, comments on it, and maybe shares it? For some of us, the answer could be yes, and if it is, it just might be time to change the station from WIIFM to WIIFY. Let me share a very real and recent example of someone who lives with a servant’s heart, someone who exemplifies the “What’s in it for you” attitude. I had reached out to one of the pastors in my life, Ryan Canaday, who lives in the Denver area. I shared with Ryan that I had a friend in New York who was struggling with a family situation and I believed that he was the right person to speak with my friend. Without hesitation, he asked me if he could have 15 minutes and then he would jump on the call. You might say, well he is a pastor, that’s his job. But that is not how or why he responded the way he did,

Woman summiting 14ers to help ShelterBox

BY CHRISTY STEADMAN CSTEADMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A

University of Denver graduate student has found a way to combine her love of the outdoors with her passion for helping others.

Brittney Woodrum, 27, is an ambassador for ShelterBox USA — an international disaster relief organization that “focuses on providing shelter to those who have lost it” through natural disaster or conflict, Woodrum said. A ShelterBox is a container of essential items to sustain displaced people.

To bring awareness and raise money for the organization’s COVID-19 emergency relief fund, Woodrum has embarked on her Climbing for a Cause: the Fourteeners Project — she will be climbing all 58 of Colorado’s 14,000-foot mountains.

And she’s climbing them with a 60-liter teal ShelterBox on her back.

“ShelterBox ambassadors tend to do crazy challenges with the box,” Woodrum said, adding the box accompanies them on the physical challenges for awareness purposes. “Physical challenges are nothing new to me (and) I’m always looking for opportunities to combine my passions.”

Woodrum is a triathlete and in the past has participated in physical challenges for various fundraising/awareness events. She became an ambassador for ShelterBox after learning about the organization as she was researching humanitarian groups that she could get involved with as she pursued her master’s degree.

Originally from Kentucky, Woodrum earned her undergraduate degree in nonprofit administration and Spanish from the University of Kentucky. She lived abroad for about five years — most of the time was spent in southeast Asia — and moved to Denver about a year ago to earn a graduate degree in humanitarian assistance from DU. Colorado was particularly attractive to her because of the state’s abundance of outdoor recreation, she said, pointing out that she had heard of Colorado’s iconic fourteeners.

ShelterBox is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year, and was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize in both 2018 and 2019. It got its start as a project by a Rotary Club in England.

What ShelterBox does is provide people who have been displaced because of natural disaster or conflict with the essential items needed to set up a household, said Kerri Murray, president of ShelterBox USA. These items include a tent, in addition to other basic needs such as water filtration, solar-powered lights, warm blankets, cooking equipment and even a children’s activity set, Murray said.

“They’re little things,” Woodrum said, “but they play a big role in keeping vulnerable communities safe.”

ShelterBox has responded to at least

University of Denver graduate student Brittney Woodrum is pictured climbing Colorado’s Little Bear Peak in the Sangre de Cristo Range. Through September, Woodrum will be climbing all 58 of Colorado’s 14,000-foot mountains to benefit ShelterBox USA’s COVID-19 Emergency Relief Fund.

Woodrum, who is pursuing a master’s degree at the University of Denver, is climbing all 58 of Colorado’s 14,000foot mountains to benefit ShelterBox USA, which is an international disaster relief organization.

COURTESY PHOTOS

Woodrum pauses for a photo as she makes her way up Longs Peak. Woodrum is an outdoor enthusiast who has a passion for helping others.

300 disasters around the globe, Murray said, including the 2015 earthquake

in Nepal and the earthquake in Haiti in 2010. Since 2012, ShelterBox has

provided emergency shelter to about 250,000 displaced Syrian refugees.

“The need for ShelterBox has grown because of COVID-19,” Murray added.

“And it has also had to adapt because the needs are different for this (public health) disaster.”

One adaption is including water basins and soap in the box, Murray said.

Woodrum had originally planned on doing her Fourteeners Project after she had graduated from DU. But then the coronavirus hit and began to spread worldwide.

“Disasters haven’t stopped just because COVID is happening,” Woodrum said. “It was challenging to be stuck at home and not able to help. I felt this was the time to do this project.

It’s something I can do without putting others at risk” of spreading the virus.

Woodrum is camping on public lands about 97% of the time, and the other 3% will be at a private residence -- no hotel/motel stays are part of the excursion, Woodrum said. She also spent May and June dehydrating food to minimize trips into towns, she added.

The ShelterBox she is hiking with is mostly empty, with the exception of water, snacks and extra layers of clothing, Woodrum said. It weighs about 10 pounds, Woodrum said, adding everybody always wants to know how much it weighs.

Woodrum’s goal is to fundraise $1,400 per peak, for a total of about $80,000, all of which will go to ShelterBox’s COVID-19 Emergency Relief Fund. A special peak sponsorship is available for people or a group of people who donate the entire $1,400.

Calling such a supporter a mountain hero, Woodrum will climb the mountain with an item or keepsake that the donor provides and take a photograph of herself at the top with the item. And/or they can choose to get a name mention

by Woodrum in a video at the summit.

She began on July 10. Woodrum expects to finish the challenge with Pikes Peak near the end of September.

Woodrum “wants to make a difference in the world,” Murray said. And “what’s so touching is that ambassadors work to help people who they’ll probably never meet in their lifetime.”

Rockwell exhibit goes into depth Denver Art Museum shows works of widely known American artist

IF YOU GO The Denver Art Museum, at Broadway and 14th Avenue, is open every day. Admission to the Rockwell exhibition is included with general admission, which is not usually the case with special visiting exhibits.

Information: denverartmuseum.org.

BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Many of the images are familiar, but perhaps we’ve seen them one at a time ... on Saturday Evening Post covers, at least if one has accumulated a few years like this writer ... on posters, post cards, in books and magazines ...

Many also speak to today’s edgy world, really.

In the late 1930s and early 1940s, President Franklin Roosevelt was facing a world that was about to fracture and it was important to send a message to his people about what was important — and meriting defense, protection ...

Well-known illustrator Norman Rockwell was commissioned at that time by the Saturday Evening Post and Look magazines to create a series of covers, which fill a gallery wall.

He was also asked by his president and governmen to address the Four Freedoms: freedom of speech and of worship; freedom from want and from fear. Four specific large paintings illustrate the freedoms, but many more refer to them, as they apply to individuals or families …

Related paintings, created at the same time, fill second-floor galleries in a Denver Art Museum that was only partially reopened when we

Norman Rockwell’s iconic “Four Freedoms” series was featured on a U.S. stamp issue in the 1990s.

SHUTTETSTOCK IMAGE visited.

The exhibit was curated by the Norman Rockwell Museum and by Dr. Timothy Standring for Denver Art Museum. It will be a good one for a family, as an introduction to how art can tell a story.

And perhaps a bit of a parent’s or grandparent’s life story as well.

“Norman Rockwell: Imagining Freedom” is at the Denver Art Museum only until Sept. 7 and illustrates a period in our nation’s history, in one

illustrator’s distinctive, often humorous, style.

The paintings were meant to make the American public more open to the idea of defending those four freedoms — militarily if necessary — as were works by many others at that time.

(Some may recall a Littleton Museum exhibit some years ago that was composed entirely of such paintings ...)

“The Golden Rule,” (1961) with its more than two dozen faces of varied hues, illustrates the publicity about

this thought-provoking exhibit and is a powerful push for the one-world concept so often mentioned today. Elders, adults, teens, young children and babies all look at us — and look ahead to facing parallel futures in this country.

Civil rights were important to Rockwell. We especially recognize “The Problem We All Live With,” depicting a tiny Black girl, Ruby Bridges, dressed in her Sunday best, being ushered to a newly integrated school by four large U.S. marshals.

The curator also brought in a video of an interview with the articulate, grown-up Ruby Bridges. (Affixed to that Bridges feature is a message from President Barack Obama, about how her bravery influenced him.)

As we enter the gallery, a cheerful, strong “Rosie the Riveter” greets us, a sample of popular propaganda art he created for the American government.

Across the room is the wall of Saturday Evening Post covers, which paid for the art, since there was no government fund for commissioning it, even if it was desired.

This collection is a part of our history, classified as illustration — and yet it’s appropriate for the art museum as an example of the power of art to tell a story.

Prep golfers weather storm delay in tourney Continental League event is shortened to 9 holes by lightning

BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

ThunderRidge High School boys golf coach Jim McCord was the director for the Continental League’s first tournament of the season on August 6 at the Broken Tee golf course in Sheridan.

It was one of the first competitive high school tournaments as high school athletes have to adjust to the requirements dictated by the COVID-19 pandemic.

And Mother Nature had something to say, as two lightning delays forced McCord to reduce the league tourney to nine holes and there is a good chance that the team scores will not be used to determine standings.

“It was a little crazy with the lighting delays,” said McCord. “We’ve gone from 18 to nine holes, but the course, the coaches and players were accommodating.

“This is first kind of back-to-normal for high-school athletics. It was nice to have the kids back out and doing what they should be able to do. We have to be cautious for good reasons.”

GOLFERS FROM PAGE 14

There were three golfers who had subpar rounds on the back nine at Broken Tee. Charlie Tucker of Rock Canyon carded a 4-under-par 32 for nine holes while Luke Cushman of Castle View had a 2-underpar 34 and Cole Dewey of Regis Jesuit came in with a 35.

Four golfers were even par for nine holes. They were Spencer Schlagel of Legend, Zane Aiken and James Beckett of Ponderosa and Chaparral’s Jack Stafford.

“It was good to get out on the course, even nine holes,” said Rock Canyon’s Nick Fallin, who carded a 41. “It was good to be back with the team. I think all the things

years and spent the past 13 seasons as the strength and conditioning coach at Castle View High School in Castle Rock.

However, he has left Castle View to become the strength coach of the Air Force Special Warfare Human Support Group in San Antonio, Texas.

“I looked at this a long time ago and I talked to my wife after teaching for 32 years. I said: `What about trying something different?,’” he said. “It is really interesting after 32 years to try something new. It’s going to be exciting.

“Leaving teaching was tremendously difficult. For 32 years I’ve been a teacher, that’s my career. I’ve done so many different things. Everything I focused

we are doing with COVID-19 are good.

“I played a bunch of summer tournaments and they all went well. It was good there were events and we could still play golf. It was definitely a different round today.

“There were two weather delays. Some kids might have been rusty but I played a lot in the summer. I definitely wouldn’t want to miss playing high school golf this fall. We are doing all the measures to keep it safe.”

Colin McCready of Chaparral shot a 43 and admitted he was rusty.

“It was pretty nice to be out here but I was a little rusty but I had some fun,” he said. “The weather delays weren’t good but it was still nice to be out here.

“I played a little bit this summer with my friends but no tournaments. It’s been a whole year since I’ve played competitively.”

in on was at the high school level.

When I started looking at what else can I do, just because you are retired you can’t sit around and do nothing.”

But how different will it be for the 54-year-old McHenry from coaching high school athletes compared to military personnel?

McHenry said it would be different, yet also the same.

“It’s going to be a lot different,’ said McHenry. “The high school kids are fun, they are excited. The people that I am going to work with, the military men and women, this is their job. It’s a different level, not just of commitment.

“The new group I’m going to be working with you either make it and continue on with the military or you don’t and have a different job in the military. So there is going to be a lot more pressure on the people that I am working with. That’s a big difference.

Once they pass the course, it kind of opens the door for them to get to the next level.”

However, the training is similar.

“In a way it is very similar to high school in this job because the first thing you focus on is the movement pattern,” continued McHenry. “Now that I think about it, it is extremely similar in what I am going to be doing.”

The Human Performance Support Group is a one-of-a-kind unit that will integrate specialists from a variety of sports and medical fields into special warfare training to optimize physical and mental performance and speed rehabilitation to create more capable and resilient ground operators.

“First of all we have to make sure they move well,” said McHenry. “The better they move the less likely they are to get injured. Then the strength they need, what is the job they are

going to be doing? A baseball player’s strength is going to be different than a wrestler’s and football player’s strength. So that’s similar. Not everybody has the same job.”

McHenry will not forget the time he spent at Castle View as he recalled the names of some of the better Sabercats athletes he worked with.

A few of the recent athletes he mentioned included wrestlers Malik Heinselman and Tate Samuelson, lacrosse players Max, Nick and Jack Tuttle, softball player Savannah Heebner and football player Cole Oster.

“For 13 years I was at the same school and that’s kind of an honor and privilege to be at the same school and work with such a great staff,” he said.

“I hope they know that.

“There’s so many athletes, it is kind of hard to name them all. Castle View has turned out not just scholars but athletes and scholars.”

C R O S SWO R D P U Z Z L E The Girl Scouts of Colorado has launched a new program called Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, in which the entire community can participate. Any youth who completes the activities for the program will earn the new “Diverse. Inclusive. Together.” patch, of which a digital version is available.

Girl Scouts of Colorado offers new diversity-inclusion program STAFF REPORT

Girl Scouts of Colorado has launched a new program for which any youth in the community can participate.

The program is called Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. It is “designed to help participants start the conversation about race and racism by learning to appreciate diversity and honor and celebrate differences,” states a news release.

Anybody is welcome to participate in the program — it is not limited to Girl Scouts, and is designed for families, communities, schools, religious groups and other social engagement groups. The programming includes hands-on activities, reflective writing, discussions on understanding and more, states a news release.

The activities ease the way for having “meaningful conversations with youth starting at kindergarten through 12th grade,” states the news release. All activities are available in Spanish.

A comprehensive list of the activities for each age level can be found on the Girl Scouts of Colorado’s website: www.girlscoutsofcolorado.org. Everyone who completes the activities for the program will earn the “Diverse.

Inclusive. Together.” patch. A digital version of the patch is available for

those who are not Girl Scouts.

The programming brought to the community through a multi-partner partnership between the Girl Scouts of Colorado, Children’s Hospital Colorado, Colorado Mountain College, Denver Public Schools and KMGHDenver7.

In addition to the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion activities, the program also includes virtual roundtables for anyone who would like to participate.

Called Conversation Starters: Let’s Talk Differences, the virtual roundtables will provide families with the “tools they need to begin talking about issues related to race and racism,” states a news release.

The Conversation Starters will be offered twice. The first one is for parents and caregivers, and it takes place on July 30. The second takes place on Aug. 13, and is “specifically designed to answer questions on these topics directly from children,” states the news release.

“The Girl Scout movement has been about social justice, equity and inclusivity from its very beginning, and part of the Girl Scout mission is to make the world a better place,” said Girl Scouts of Colorado’s CEO, Leanna Clark. “As an organization, Girl Scouts of Colorado is recommitting to that mission. That’s why we’re opening up this programming beyond girls and beyond our Girl Scout community to make it available to as many people as possible. We hope families will take part together to deepen their understanding of themselves and others.”
