E-learning teachers express frustration, anxiety One Douglas County educator cites crying by colleagues, high stress

BY ELLIOTT WENZLER EWENZLER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

As Douglas County e-learning teachers geared up for their first

week of classes, starting Aug. 31 after a week-long delay, some expressed frustration and anxiety over the coming weeks, saying their student rosters continued to change, technology presented challenges and expectations from administrators remained unclear.

In the preceding two weeks, the Douglas County district had pivoted to a new model for high school elearners, and in middle and elemen-

tary schools, some teachers still didn’t have final rosters for their students or direction on how to grade their assessments as of Friday, Aug. 28, according to district teachers.

Now, some teachers interviewed

by Colorado Community Media are describing themselves and their colleagues as -- in the words of one -- “at a breaking point.”

Castle Rock council leaves vacancy open for now Loban’s seat to be filled in upcoming election

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

One seat on the Castle Rock Town Council will remain empty the

remainder of this year after councilmembers debated the appropriateness of filling a council vacancy weeks before the next council election.

District 1 Councilmember Jess Loban left his council position on Aug. 31 because his family is moving out of state.

Councilmembers Loban and Kevin Bracken recommended the council

appoint local school administrator Ryan Hollingshead for the remainder of his term. But at an Aug. 18 meeting, multiple councilmembers expressed concern with filling the vacancy before November’s council election and said it should remain vacant.

Castle Rock lawmaker says he will refile case against Polis in another court

BY JESSE PAUL THE COLORADO SUN

The Colorado Supreme Court on Aug. 30 refused to hear a lawsuit filed by top statehouse Republican Patrick Neville of Castle Rock and a conservative activist challenging Gov. Jared Polis’ statewide mask mandate.

The court made its decision less than two days after the lawsuit was filed by Neville, the Colorado House minority leader, and Michelle Malkin of Colorado Springs.

Neville and Malkin, represented by attorney and Colorado Republican National Committeeman Randy Corporon, alleged that Polis violated the required separation between the legislative and executive branches when he issued the mask mandate more than a month ago.

The lawsuit was filed directly to the Colorado Supreme Court, which legal experts told The Colorado Sun was an extremely unusual, if not unheard of, move that made the chances of it being heard highly unlikely.

In the lawsuit, Neville and Malkin said they would take the case to a SEE NEVILLE, P24

Arapahoe Community College president stepping down Doyle cites expanded offerings, new campus as accomplishments

Arapahoe Community College will bid farewell to a devoted leader next spring, after President Diana Doyle announced her retirement.

Doyle announced she will step down in June 2021, ending an 11-year tenure as the head of the Littleton-based college, and wrapping up a 43-year career in higher education.

“My original goal was to stay here for 10 years, but in the unusual time we’re in, I decided to add one more year for good measure,” Doyle told Colorado Community Media.

Doyle said she’s proud of her legacy at ACC, including adding numerous bachelor’s and associate’s degree programs, starting a veterans’ services center, developing wellness programs for students, and overseeing the development of a new satellite campus in Castle Rock, shared with Colorado State University. ACC also has a Parker campus.

“There’s so much we do for students now that didn’t exist a decade ago,” she said. “But no president does their job alone. I have been blessed with a dream team of employees, students and partners.”

Doyle said she fell in love with higher education right from the start, becoming a resident assistant in her

dorm at Illinois State University. After graduation, she became a residence hall director, then went on to work at the University of Nebraska and the Colorado School of Mines.

“I’ve always loved the ability of higher education to help students grow not just academically, but as individuals,” she said.

But it wasn’t until she took a leadership role at Western Nebraska Community College in Scottsbluff that she found her defining role in the community college system.

“Community colleges are a wonderful place to have a more direct impact on students who might not have thought college was for them,” she

said. “I’m a first-generation college student, and there are a lot of those out there. Many people don’t have parents who can assist them with the challenges of college or give them advice on how to succeed.”

Community colleges graduate students who play many vital roles in society, Doyle said, including the vast majority of first responders, as well as auto technicians, IT specialists, nurses and cybersecurity professionals.

While some colleges have seen enrollment flounder in the face of the novel coronavirus pandemic, Doyle says ACC’s fall enrollment is up 6% over last year. Doyle says she believes

the climb is driven by students who may be delaying transferring to a fouryear school, those looking for cheaper or more flexible options, and people laid off from the workforce seeking to boost their skillsets.

She also said ACC has engaged in robust communication with students and the public to overcome hurdles to attendance.

ACC had an easier time than some institutions with the transfer to largely online learning, Doyle said, because the school began developing widespread online offerings years ago. Some classes are attending in person, particularly vocational classes that have irreplaceable handson components like nursing and auto repair.

The Colorado Community College System, which oversees 13 schools statewide, will conduct a nationwide search for Doyle’s replacement.

Joe Garcia, the chancellor of the CCCS, had high praise for Doyle.

“We have been fortunate to not only have Dr. Doyle at the helm of ACC for the past decade, but also as an incredible thought leader who has paved the way for significant change in how post-secondary education is delivered to meet and support the needs of today’s students,” Garcia said in a statement. “I know I speak for our entire system when I express our deep appreciation for her transformational work and tireless dedication to student success.”

Doyle said she hopes the pandemic has abated by next spring.

“I want to go see the world,” she said. “I’m open to new adventures.”

Douglas County hands out recovery funds to cities, businesses Funding comes from federal CARES Act addressing COVID impacts

BY ELLIOTT WENZLER EWENZLER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Some Douglas County municipalities and small businesses are on their way to receiving COVID-19 recovery funds after the county began divvying up their $30 million of CARES Act money.

In an Aug. 25 meeting, commissioners approved an agreement between Douglas County and various municipalities, including Castle Pines, Castle Rock, Larkspur, Lone Tree and Parker, for the dollars.

This agreement will allow these cities and towns to seek reimbursement for specific COVID-19-related expenses incurred between March 1 and Dec. 30 of this year, according to a release from the county. Reimbursable costs include medical, public health and payroll expenses.

The funding comes from the $2 trillion federal Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act, passed in March of this year. Douglas County applied for this money through the state’s Department of Local Affairs and was notified July 24

that its request was granted.

“This further highlights what makes Douglas County so special,” Commissioner Lora Thomas said in the Aug. 25 meeting. “Over and over we see how people partner together in this county ... so that we all work together so that everybody benefits.”

Each municipality will receive funds based on their population, assessed value and full-time employees per local government. Castle Rock will receive $3,486,031; Parker will receive $2,876,671; Lone Tree will receive $1,231,675; Castle Pines will receive $380,359; and Larspur $36,608.

Small businesses Local businesses with 100 or fewer employees can also apply to receive funding from the county’s portion of CARES Act dollars.

Businesses with physical locations in the county can receive up to $10,000 of relief for expenses like personal protective equipment, touchless payment systems and structural changes or improvements required to remain open under COVID-19 health orders, according to a release from the county.

Eligibility guidelines are available on the county’s website by searching “Small Business Grant Program.”

Applications for the first round of the program will be accepted through Sept. 15 and will be awarded on a firstcome first-serve basis.

COUNCIL FROM PAGE 1

Four seats on the council including District 1 are up in the general election; mail-in balloting begins in mid-October and ends Nov. 3.

Hollingshead called it an honor to be nominated but said he understood council’s decision. He later filed to run for the District 1 seat, along with two other candidates — Robert Wade and Geneva Brier. Candidates had until Aug. 24 to turn in candidate petitions.

Councilmember Caryn Johnson was the first to comment in favor of leaving the vacancy open at the Aug. 18 meeting, later echoed by Councilmembers George Teal, James Townsend, Mayor Pro Tem Jason Bower and Mayor Jason Gray.

“I think that we let the voters decide in November who is the best person to represent them,” Johnson said.

Teal said District 1 would still have representation for now through atlarge Mayor Gray, who represents the entire town, and offered to work with District 1 residents as well.

“My concern is even if we have no wish to put our thumb on the scale and influence the electors in District 1, I do think there is going to be that perception,” Teal said.

Townsend said he agreed it was too near the election to appoint Hollingshead to the vacancy, particularly without interviewing multiple nominees.

“The town took great pains to bring in an at-large mayor for precisely this sort of thing,” he said.

Bower said appointing someone so close to the election “may give the wrong impression” and that former

councilmembers emailed him advising against filling the seat.

Gray said he understood leaving the seat vacant would mean “there’s going to be a gap” in District 1’s representation on council but that other council members were up to the task of helping Loban’s constituents in the meantime.

Appointing Hollingshead “would be giving Ryan an advantage,” Gray said.

Town manager Dave Corliss said the council is not required under Castle Rock’s charter to fill the vacancy because of its proximity to the next council election.

Local fire agencies pitch in on Colo. blazes, hurricane First responders deploy to locations in need of extra assistance

BY NICK PUCKETT NPUCKETT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Firefighters from across the metro area were deployed to assist at the scene of Colorado wildfires and with the aftermath of Hurricane Laura on the Gulf Coast.

South Metro Fire Rescue and the Castle Rock and Denver fire departments each sent first responders to assist with the blazes raging in the state. Also called into service were members of the West Metro Fire Protection District, which covers significant portions of Jefferson and Douglas counties, and the Arvada and Thornton fire agencies.

Among the blazes where local fire agencies have been assisting is the Pine Gulch Fire, centered 18 miles north of Grand Junction, which had engulfed more than 139,000 acres as of Aug. 30, making it the largest wildfire in the state’s recorded history. The fire was about 77% contained as of that date, with 646 people working to douse the blaze, according to the federal National Wildfire Coordinating Group.

Local crews also were sent to the Cameron Peak Fire, on the Arapahoe and Roosevelt national forests in the Medicine Bow Mountains of far northern Colorado, which remained at 0% containment and had burned across 23,000 acres as of Aug. 30, fire officials said. About 742 people were

Aug. 30, with 657 working at the scene, the NWGC said.

At press time, South Metro Fire Rescue had eight firefighters assisting crews battling the Pine Gulch and Cameron Peak fires and one more assisting fire prevention in Pike National Forest southwest of the metro area.

South Metro deployed its first two crews Aug. 13, according to spokesperson Connor Christian. The agency sent one crew of three to the Pine Gulch Fire area near Glenwood Springs and a four-person crew to the Cameron Peak Fire in Larimer County.

One battalion chief was sent to command a crew of 20 in Pike National Forest and one lieutenant safety officer was sent to assist with Pine Gulch as well.

The three-person crew sent to Pine Gulch came from Station 41 in Parker on a Type 3 brush truck. That crew returned Aug. 24. Another threeperson crew from Station 39 in Castle Pines left Aug. 24 to replace the first

Pine Gulch crew. The four-person crew fighting the Cameron Peak Fire came from Station 33 in Centennial in a Type 6 brush truck and at press time had not yet completed its deployment.

Crews will rotate based on roughly two-week rotations until their services are no longer needed.

‘No negative impact locally’ A Type 3 brush truck can hold up to 500 gallons of water and is typically found in departments of rural, mountainous communities. A Type 6 brush truck is better suited for off-roading and can hold up to about 300 gallons of water.

Denver Fire sent has sent at least 60 members of its 158-person Wildland Crew to assist in the two largest local wildfires, according to the department’s Twitter account. The department, which also serves the city of Englewood, also sent three wildland engines and a suppression module, a SEE AGENCIES, P5

And Castle Rock Fire sent three firefighters to assist with the Grizzly Creek Fire.

“There is no negative impact locally with these deployments,” Castle Rock Fire Chief Norris Croom said in an Aug. 27 email. “We have a reserve brush truck that gets placed in service to fill in for the deployed truck, and we have sufficient staffing to allow for these deployments.”

West Metro Fire Protection District spokesperson Rhonda Scholting said in an email on Aug. 27 that the agency had three firefighters deployed to the Cameron Peak Fire.

Arvada Fire spokesperson Deanna Harrington said on Aug. 27 that her agency had five firefighters deployed to Colorado forest fires: Three sent with one of the agency’s brush trucks

to the Grizzly Creek Fire and two battalion chiefs at the Cameron Peak Fire.

Hurricane Laura struck Louisiana and the Texas coast Aug. 26 as a Category 4 storm. Gusts reached up to 150 mph, according to Weather.com.

Denver Fire sent 10 first responders, South Metro Fire Rescue sent 12 and Castle Rock Fire Department sent one to help with Hurricane Laura.

The task force could help dealing with floodwaters, technical rescues, humanitarian work or delivering supplies, Hurst said.

Colorado Task Force 1 is a Coloradobased team designed to assist searchand-rescue operations, emergency medical care and in other capacities as they are needed. The task force has about 200 members in all.

Department heads do not expect any diminishment in local services, according to a Denver Fire spokesperson.

“The large number of firefighters we have allows us to maintain these services. We will not allow that to be compromised to maintain our certification and accreditation,” the spokesperson said. “We have that in the back of our minds all the time.”

TEACHERS

“There’s still a lot of unanswered questions that we would like answered before the first day of school,” she said. “Such as grades. We haven’t been given any direction on how much weight should be given (to assessments) ... that’s just one example.”

FROM PAGE 1

“I’ve never seen my colleagues under the amount of stress they’re under right now,” one district high school teacher for e-learning said. “There has been more crying in August than probably in the last 10 years by the teachers and staff.”

Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, Douglas County families have been given the option to either send their students to school for a hybrid learning program or to exclusively learn through online platforms for the first semester.

Of the district’s 68,000 students, about 6,300 have elected to do onlineonly classes. That’s not what the district expected, Superintendent Thomas Tucker said.

“We were surprised that over 6,000 students and their parents chose e-learning,” Tucker said in an interview. “The same proportion of staff didn’t follow students to the e-learning cohort.”

Staffing shortages have made the start to e-learning rocky, but Tucker says enough teachers have now been brought on board and issues should begin to be worked out.

Principals to manage e-learning When the back-to-school plan was first put in place, about 60 district teachers asked to be assigned to e-learning, said Diane Smith, the district’s director of e-learning. Now, there are 165 e-learning teachers.

Some of those additional 100 teachers were new hires and others were reassignments from other schools, Smith said.

A few days before both e-learning

Diane Smith, the Douglas County director of e-learning, was hired for the position Aug. 3, she said. She has worked in Douglas County, Cherry Creek and Denver school districts over a more than 40-year career.

COURTESY OF DIANE SMITH and hybrid learning were set to begin Aug. 24, the district announced it would delay all levels of e-learning by a week due to staffing and technical difficulties, according to a public statement from David Ray, the school board president.

“Due to many staff members not having timely access to our digital content, we have made the difficult decision to postpone the first day of school for our elementary and middle school eLearners,” said the statement, posted to Facebook.

In a letter to parents, the district cited difficulties in setting up an elearning platform as their reason for delaying high school instruction.

Tucker and some district teachers, however, have confirmed a total shift in the e-learning plan for high schoolers announced Aug. 21. Instead of having one district-wide platform for e-learning instruction — which is how it will be done for middle and elementary students — the leadership for online-only high school instruction was transitioned back to each individual high school, Leyba said. Now, each school’s principal will manage e-learning.

“That seems to be a really good decision,” Leyba said. “It’s unfortunate that principals are handed this so late in the game.”

‘It’s been a scramble’ This change was in part due to the complex scheduling associated with high school-age students, one teacher explained. With electives, AP courses and other advanced-direction classes, a district-wide approach just wasn’t possible.

“High school is too specialized,” the teacher said. “They just don’t have enough content specialists to open up a whole new (online) school.”

This teacher, a high school level e-learning instructor, asked to remain anonymous because of the district’s policy on media interviews, as did others who spoke with a reporter for this story. Teachers are asked not to speak with members of the media without going through the district’s head office first.

In response to questions about this policy, Tucker said any teacher can speak to the media after the request has been processed through the district’s communications department, even if they have negative comments about the district.

“That’s what they should have done from the start,” the high school e-learning instructor said about the shift in high school e-learning. “Now it’s been a scramble and each high school is dealing with this differently.”

That teacher and others feel they haven’t been properly trained in the digital platforms being used for online instruction, she said.

“It’s a type of technology we don’t have any training for and only a week to figure it out,” she said.

Outside of the technical challenges, teachers have described confusion over the district’s expectations.

“The biggest problem is teachers and students don’t know what they’re doing Monday (Aug. 31),” said a district middle school teacher, who also asked to remain anonymous.

‘It’s all on me to figure it out’ Another area where the teacher feels she is missing is in how to enforce discipline in an online classroom.

“There hasn’t been anything like that communicated to e-learning teachers for discipline,” she said. “I don’t feel I have that support and I don’t know who I would turn to if I have to write up a student ... if each teacher has different policies, it can cause confusion for students who have six teachers per week.”

In response to questions about a lack of direction for teachers, Tucker said the district has taken steps to keep instructors informed.

“We’ve done a good job of communicating,” he said. “Can we do better?

Absolutely.”

The middle school e-learning teacher has seen her class schedule change multiple times in the past few weeks.

At some points, she was being asked to teach classes outside of her area of expertise, training and credentials, she said.

When her final class schedule was set, less than a week before classes were set to begin following the delay, her roster of students was still up in the air, she said.

Without knowing who is in her classes, she said she worries about being adequately prepared to help students with learning disabilities, English language challenges and advanced learning plans.

“I worry that those who are behind will fall further behind,” the middle school e-learning teacher said. “It’s all on me to figure it out, with my caseload of (over 150 students) ... how can I make sure they’re each successful?”

Teacher and parent relationships Some teachers also expressed concern over their relationship with parents.

“If I was a parent and I’m getting these emails ... I would feel like they were further along in the planning process than it actually is,” the middle school teacher said. “I really think when the administration says teachers are ready when they’re not, it starts a lack of trust ... if teachers are coming in unprepared, the blame would be placed on them.”

The high school teacher is also afraid of how she and her colleagues will come across to their students’ parents.

“We take such pride in what we do ... we have a certain way of teaching and interacting with students that’s our own personal take on it and none of us want to look incompetent or incapable or uncaring,” she said.

Tucker and Smith ask for patience as they continue to work through the issues coming up with e-learning.

“I want to communicate very clearly to our teachers that in order for us to be successful, for our students to be successful, we need our teachers, we need to ensure they have a level of comfort,” he said. “We’re all in this together, I promise them this will work out.”

Smith said teachers will continue to be trained in technology as the school year goes on and that all the issues with e-learning will soon be ironed out.

“I’ve been in education over 40 years and this has been the most challenging I’ve ever had,” she said. “And I know it’s been the same for them.”

Superintendent, school district ask for patience ‘We’re going to need ... understanding, grace and positive intent’

BY ELLIOTT WENZLER EWENZLER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The Douglas County School District is asking for patience from the community as the district begins the school year under the cloud of COVID-19 and irons out kinks in its various education offerings, Superintendent Thomas Tucker said.

“I continue to ask our very passionate community for continued grace and patience as we start the school year,” Tucker said in an exclusive interview with Colorado Community Media. “We’re going to need that same level of understanding, grace, patience and positive intent throughout the school year.

Because we don’t know what tomorrow holds.”

After the COVID-19 pandemic hit in the spring, the district decided to offer multiple options for student learning for the fall. District families have the choice of either sending their students to school for “hybrid” learning — where kids attend inperson classes two days a week — or having them learn 100% online for the first semester.

In the first couple weeks of school, teachers, parents and students have struggled to adjust as their class schedules and plans for the upcoming year remain in flux. Hybrid

‘Each day we’re working hard’ In the next few weeks, Tucker has four main priorities, he said. First, to focus on helping build relationships between students and teachers. Second, he hopes to aid students as they begin to develop a feel for the online platform and technology.

Third, to assess the social challenges students have experienced from being out of school for the past six months.

Fourth, to assess the loss of academic learning students have seen due to the in-person school closure, he said. “Each day we’re working hard to communicate better and to address technology,� he said.

Diane Smith, who was hired as the district’s head of e-learning on Aug. 3, is focusing on making sure students have their correct class lists, she said.

“Our priority really is to be sure all our kids are scheduled appropriately, that they are connecting with their teachers and each other and that they’re beginning to settle into the curriculum and develop a routine,�

Smith said.

After weeks of changing student lists and classes, teachers were told they should be able to contact their students and families with instructions for the first day of school by Aug. 30, said one district teacher interviewed who asked to remain anonymous.

Smith believes almost all students were contacted by their teachers before the start of e-learning Aug. 31, she said. “I’m sure there are a few little glitches here and there ... but the vast vast majority of our kids were in class this morning and beginning to learn,� she said.

So far, the district hasn’t seen many issues with the hybrid learning program, Tucker said. While there have

been some positive cases of COVID-19 throughout the district, no school has seen a large outbreak, he said.

However, Tucker has not ruled out the possibility that the district could have to return to online-only learning, he said. “If we don’t get control of this virus ... that could happen,� he said. ‘We have the right people in place’ One of the biggest struggles the district has seen so far this year is staffing shortages, Tucker said. The district didn’t anticipate that more than 6,000 students would opt for the 100% e-learning option.

In March, this wasn’t a struggle because all teachers and all students were on the same program of onlineonly learning. When the district chose to create an option of hybrid learning or e-learning, it split the teaching staff. “What we did not anticipate is not having an adequate number of staff members to teach those courses,�

Tucker said.

Originally, the district didn’t want any teachers to have to provide instruction for both the hybrid model and the online-only option, Tucker said. Some teachers, however, have reported that this is the case for them. “To keep that promise, we have to have staffing,� Tucker said. “We’re going to compensate them for their extra time teaching in-person as well as teaching online.�

Now, even though the district has hired enough teachers to cover their e-learning needs for the moment, they will continue hiring throughout the year, he said. “This is not the first challenge I’ve had to address and the school district has had to deal with,� Tucker said. “This is not the first crisis in Douglas County and unfortunately, it won’t be the last ... but we have the right people in place who are compassionate and professional in dealing with crises.�

VOICES Take a stand against PPP taxation

A

s if things GUEST weren’t hard COLUMN enough for Colorado’s small businesses, news comes that the Trump administration plans to claw back a chunk of the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) funds that legitimate businesses have Brett Wesner used as a lifeline to keep their employees on the payroll.

When Congress passed PPP, the legislation made it clear that these loans would ultimately be forgiven if businesses used them for approved purposes, mostly payroll. And, the law

ensured — in writing — that any forgiven amounts would not be taxable, meaning that businesses could use all those funds to keep folks employed.

More than 13,300 Colorado businesses, including this newspaper, signed up in good faith, secure in the knowledge that if they used those funds as Congress intended, they would be forgiven and not taxed. This program helped support or create approximately 900,000 jobs in our state, according to the Small Business Administration.

Well, Congress may have said one thing, but President Trump’s Treasury secretary, Steve Mnuchin, has other ideas. According to the Treasury Department, forgiven funds may not be taxable, but the payroll businesses paid with those funds can no longer be

Much has changed and much has stayed the same.

I think it’s high time for our local leaders to represent all of the citizens and work to make Douglas County an even more awesome place to live. We have an excellent opportunity to elect Darien Wilson as county commissioner.

She has been a successful small business owner and understands the challenges facing our community.

She is a mother of three and takes pride in bringing people together for the common good.

It’s time to move past the partisan name calling and belittling tone that her opponent engages in. Darien will promote the health and welfare of our citizens by keeping Dougco in the Tri-County Health agreement. We all need to do our part and listen to the health experts. That means wearing a mask in public so that schools, restaurants and stores can remain open. Darien supports the science, the data and the facts. Darien’s opponent is playing political games with our community’s health for her own political ambitions.

My vote will go to Darien Wilson for Douglas County commissioner. I encourage everyone to look at her website and see what is possible for the future of Dougco with responsible, accountable representation. Darien will enhance

Steve Roescher Castle Rock Commissioners were right Kerry Workman’s letter to the editor voiced her feelings about the commissioners’ decisions about the “health crisis” in the county. I offer a couple of good reasons to support the commissioners in their decisions.

First, if you desire and love big government, be glad because Tri-County has just added 50 new people to do case management and contact tracing.

If you are delighted with Big Brother, just let those contact tracing people find you, and maybe quarantine you, or? I have no idea how they plan to proceed in this endeavor. Will they spell it out clearly to us, the people of Douglas County? How easy would it be to get the sticky fingers of Tri-County off our necks once they start building their empire, with our taxes? Have you all thought through the consequences of this decision?

I support us getting out of Tri-County in the best interests of our people because of our very low infection and mortality rate from the fearful COVID. Avoid infection and Big Government.

considered a business expense.

Now, we don’t know Mr. Mnuchin personally, but our guess is that, as Treasury secretary, he probably knows something about math: Disallowing businesses from claiming that payroll as an expense is the same thing as taxing the forgiven loan.

Which means that Colorado’s small businesses are going to get hit with a huge surprise tax bill, but most won’t know it until — wait for it — after the November election! Surprise!

Now some members of the U.S. Senate weren’t amused by this little “Lucy with the football” tomfoolery.

Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, has led a fight in the Senate to tell the Treasury Department that they meant what they said: the forgiven loans should

not be taxable, including through the back door. Other senators are worried about the “optics” of standing up for small businesses, if you can imagine.

Colorado’s own Sen. Cory Gardner was an early supporter of a bill Sen. Cornyn introduced (S. 3612) to fix the problem.

Treasury cannot be allowed to override Congress’ promise to our small business community.

Here’s the secret to getting ‘It’ done

W

hatever “It” is that we have to get done, there is a secret to making sure that we actually WINNING get it done.

It’s called WORDS accountability, or rather personal accountability.

If you are a regular reader of this “Winning Words” column, and even though Michael Norton I am placing the focus this week on people in the profession of selling, what I share below is applicable to all of us

who are striving to stay as productive as possible in all walks of life. So, I encourage you to keep reading.

Over the past several months we have all participated in our own version and reality of the “Next Normal.” Some of us chose to participate fully and look for new and innovative ways to work, live, and play. Others fell into the flow and tried to keep pace with what was happening around them. And then there were some who wanted to wait and watch what would be happening next. Possibly waiting too long and losing energy and momentum along the way.

Our daily routines were shifted and, in many cases, completely turned upside down.

Commentary: A student’s NORTON view of in-person school FROM PAGE 10

Heritage senior says classrooms feel lonely while halls feel crowded

BY LILLIAN FUGLEI SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA

After a summer filled with everchanging reopening plans, I finally returned to Heritage High School in Littleton to begin my senior year on Aug. 24.

New safety measures include limiting students to two in-person days a week, mandatory face masks, one-way hallways and stairwells, disinfecting all desks, socially-distanced classrooms, prepackaged lunches and more.

Efforts to reduce the spread of the novel coronavirus have made the school safer, but have also created the loneliest school environment I’ve ever experienced.

Although necessary to help prevent students and faculty from getting ill, the new limitations feel incredibly isolating. In several of my classes, students couldn’t talk to each other at all. No group work and no possibility of conversations meant no way of connecting with each other.

The classes with group work were awkward and clunky. Students had to shout and repeat themselves in order to be heard, it was loud inside the classroom, and it was impossible to carry on conversations from six feet apart.

Classes ended with hand sanitizer and wiping down desks. We had to stand for the last few minutes of class so the sanitizer had time to work before another student sat in our desks.

When class finally ended, the hallways felt as crowded as ever, but were more difficult to navigate with arrows and teachers yelling which direction we were allowed to travel in.

Between masks, signs covering every wall reminding us to social distance, and hand sanitizer every-

Sure, there are the mating motions we’ve all seen on “Animal Planet,” but this is different. At least, I assume it’s different.

How we express ourselves is important. It involves word choice, enunciation, composure, and body language.

Or it can look like the flailing of someone with a bag over their head.

Remember cops who directed traffic? Or maybe you have seen them in films? They were masters with their hand motions and whistles, weren’t they?

That’s where it belongs.

You’ve heard of “semaphore”?

“A system of sending messages by holding the arms or two flags or poles in certain positions according to an alphabetic code.”

Right now it’s sending this message: “Stop, quit, desist, cease.”

where, thoughts of the virus were hard to escape. Every moment I was in school left me wondering if reopening was really worth it.

It was wonderful to see other people again, and to get out of the house.

But combining an already confusing in-person schedule with three days of overwhelming online classes left me more worn out than any normal school week I’ve ever experienced.

Some classes were fun, some were boring, and some felt almost normal during my two days of in-person class. But with the added stress and looming threats of coronavirus, I can’t say I felt like it was worthwhile.

Every cough and mask adjustment felt threatening, making sure you and your supplies were sanitized was exhausting, and every joke about school shutting down again amplified the stress. Being in the building means constantly being on guard.

I wish I could have a normal senior year, with Homecoming and Prom and football games and clubs and everything fun that’s supposed to come with being in school. But coronavirus has stripped school down to the bare-bones academics.

We won’t have a normal year, and I can’t say I feel like it’s worth pursuing.

different.

Their speechless stories are told by gestures and hips.

Signers for the deaf, semaphorers (new word), and hula dancers, and that’s it. If you aren’t one of those, don’t raise your hand.

There’s help. There has to be.

Ask a friend: “Do I annoy you when I talk with my hands?”

If the answer is “No,” disregard everything I’ve said.

It’s possible you are unaware of what you are doing. The same goes for most of us who interject filler words, you know, when we express ourselves. The primary offender in 2020 is “like,” but “you know” is right up there.

If I encounter a hand talker who uses filler words, I excuse myself and say I have to go home and check on the roast in the oven.

There is nothing more important today than ridding the planet of hand talkers. I think we can all agree on that.

without management’s direction.

For the teams and individuals who went along for the ride initially, we see that they eventually found their rhythm and understood the effort and behaviors necessary to succeed in getting things done. They realized that the competition was getting close, and sooner or later could take away their business. Salespeople who initially followed old selling habits, even if they were good habits, realized that in the new business landscape they needed to change, and not only change, but hold themselves personally accountable to make the transition and stay relevant, adding value and getting “It” done for themselves and their customers.

Some of the watchful waiters eventually took notice what was happening around them and made the decision to get back in the game of selling. They realized that if they didn’t do “It,” no one else would. And if they watched and waited too long, they would probably be invited to find success elsewhere. And in that moment, they also stumbled across the secret to getting “It” done, personal accountability. No excuses.

I have been so blessed to work with and learn from amazing partners, clients, sales leaders, and salespeople today and throughout my career.

And I have seen so many incredible programs, attended hundreds of seminars, and read countless books on selling. I share that with you because when I am having conversations about sales success or analyzing the difference between underperforming, average, and top performing sales people, there is one thing that salespeople at the very top consistently do better than their peers. They hold themselves personally accountable for doing the behaviors and getting “It” done.

If you are not in the world of professional selling, and have read along this far, you know that the secret to getting anything done, getting “It” done in our personal or professional life, comes down to holding accountability, personal accountability. No excuses.

So how about you? Did you decide to fully participate early on and amplify your game? Did you fall into the flow and eventually pick up the pace? Or have you been a watchful waiter and now trying to regain your momentum? I would love to hear how you are getting “It” done today at mnorton@ tramazing.com. And when we realize the secret to accomplishing anything is personal accountability, it really will be a better than good week.

festival also shows that it may also be making more inroads into a largely unpainted frontier: the suburbs.

During Babe Walls, artists painted 12 new murals on buildings around the intersection of Federal Boulevard and 71st Avenue (a map can be found at babewalls.com).

For the last four years, the West Colfax Mural Fest (now the West Colfax Arts Fest) has also led to the creation of many new murals on and around West Colfax in Lakewood. Although that festival was canceled this year, organizers expect it to return in 2021.

New murals have also popped up in recent months on South Broadway in Englewood and along 44th Avenue in Wheat Ridge (where the city currently has a mural program that provides funds for new art).

“I love the team for figuring out this location because everywhere can benefit by having more art and color in their world,” Babe Walls artist Koko Bayer said of the festival. “And we’ve gotten so much positive feedback already from the people in the neighborhood who like having something different and I think we need a lot more of it. It’s not just for RiNo and downtown Denver, it should be for everywhere.”

Here is a closer look at a few of the many murals to recently pop up around the Denver metro area.

From COVID-19 to Black Lives Matter, street art thrives to document 2020

BY PAUL ALBANI-BURGIO PALBANIBURGIO@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

W

hen Denver muralist Austin Zucchini-Fowler came up with the idea to create a mural depicting an angel-winged nurse in a fighter’s stance wearing boxing gloves last April, he did not imagine the extent to which the image would resonate in Denver — never mind around the world.

Back then, he was just looking for a way to pay tribute to the health-care workers putting their lives on the line to fight the COVID-19 pandemic — including several in his own family — while he was stuck at home during the pandemic.

“I kind of got to dig down into art and had this concept to really encompass the community’s gratitude to health-care workers and also just show with the pandemic their fight and the challenges they are facing,” Zucchini-Fowler said.

Zucchini-Fowler’s image debuted on Easter weekend in Capitol Hill at Colfax Avenue and Williams Street on the east side of a building along the alley adjacent to the Taco Bell at that intersection.

But even many of those who haven’t been anywhere near Colfax since the start of the pandemic will likely recognize the image, which has been featured everywhere from CNN to The New York Times to a new commercial for USA Basketball. An Oregon farmer has even created a corn maze based on the mural.

“It doesn’t feel like my mural, it’s like the community’s mural,” Zucchini-Fowler said. “People were feeling so many different feelings and challenges during the pandemic and I think a mural can be the perfect way to express what the community as a whole is feeling.”

Social distancing, time outside fueling art In recent months, Zucchini-Fowler and other muralists have shown their art is uniquely positioned to both document and respond to the pain and promise of recent events, as COVID-19 and the protest movement that sprang up following George Floyd’s murder have given new fuel and urgency to the mural movement that has gained steam around the Denver area in recent years.

Among the Denver-area muralists who have been leaving their mark on the city recently are Adrienne Norris, whose work often focuses on significant women from history. Norris returned to that subject for her two most recent murals, which she completed for Babe Walls, a mural festival celebrating the work of women and

It’s Gonna All Be Okay mural Located in the alleyway behind Denver Central Market (which is one of the most mural-filled in the city) at at 27th and Larimer, this mural depicts an angel-winged baker holding a peel beside the words “It’s gonna all be okay.” The mural, which was created

by Austin Zucchini-Fowler, is part of a project honoring the contributions of essential workers that grew out of the success of his angel-winged nurse mural on Colfax. A map of all of the project’s murals can be found at austinzart.com.

Interwoven mural at 14th and Colfax Although the Black Lives Matter street mural has come and gone, this colorful mural that was painted in front of the Denver City and County Building earlier this summer has a similarly epic scale. Artist Pat Milberry told 9News that the pinwheel and sundial at the center of the 28,680 square-foot mural is meant to “create an energy of positive rotation to transition us out of these uncertain times.”

Austin Zucchini-Fowler’s iconic mural of a nurse with boxing gloves on along Colfax Avenue in Capitol Hill. non-binary artists held Aug. 13-16 in Westminster.

Both of Norris’ Babe Walls murals depict black women who were leaders in important social movements. One honors Storme DeLarverie, a leader in the early gay rights movement in New York, and the other depicts Ella Baker, a civil rights activist who spurned “charismatic leaders” in favor of encouraging blacks to advocate for themselves.

Norris was also one of two local artists tapped to spearhead the creation of a Black Lives Matter mural on Broadway in front of the state Capitol last June. That temporary street mural, which read “Black Lives Matter: Remember This Time” was painted with the help of more than 100 volunteers.

Norris said that while street artists have always been the documenters of history and culture, the pandemic lockdowns made the value of such art “more apparent than it has ever been even though we’ve always been here.”

“Because people are keeping distance socially and spending more time outside than they ever have been, it really makes sense to have art that is outside as opposed to in museums and stuff,” said Norris.

Murals coming to burbs While the Denver area’s recent street art explosion has largely been focused on city neighborhoods like River North and corridors like Broadway and Colfax where such art has long thrived, the inaugural Babe Walls

‘Victoria Longwood’ water lilies are a pretty big deal Plant lovers can get notified when remarkable flowers are about to open

BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The Water Gardens and surrounding ponds at Hudson Gardens in Littleton display more than 140 varieties of aquatic plants, which serve as a cover for a variety of minnows, tadpoles and other small critters. With a minimum amount of patience, one can spot a frog sitting on a floating leaf, and in the evening those frogs sing and serenade the surroundings.

The large leaves of the Victoria water lily provide an especially fine perch for these small pond critters as they also offer shade for the swimming residents of the ponds.

Each leaf can grow 10 inches in a day, according to material provided at the Gardens.

The Victoria water lilies were discovered in Bolivia in 1801 and are only native to South American river basins, such as the Amazon. Botanists and

A “Victoria Longwood” water lily is an extravagant specimen on display at Hudson Gardens in Littleton.

COURTESY PHOTO plant collectors were bringing them to Europe by the mid-19th century, where the first display was at Britain’s Crystal Palace.

In 1851, specimens were also introduced in the U.S. In 1960, Longwood Gardens, near Philadelphia, introduced the “Victoria Longwood,” which is the variety found at Hudson Gardens.

These remarkable plants, with the second largest leaf of any plant in the world, were introduced in the Littleton gardens in 1997 and

have been growing well since.

This summer, plant lovers can register to be notified when a Victoria water lily is about to open in the evening. Members of the active Colorado Water Garden Society maintain the Water Garden ponds and members meet with viewers to experience the opening of this spectacular bloom. The Victoria water lily is hermaphroditic: It changes from female to male overnight as it blooms.

Leaf pads can expand more than 20 inches in a day, grow-

ing to as much as 8 feet in diameter, with each leaf lasting about a week. For most of the year, the Victoria water lily is distinguished only by these large lily pads, but in late July and early August, night-blooming flowers appear and last only 48 hours.

Each plant produces about 10 to 12 flowers a season, according to the publication available at Hudson Gardens. The day before the plant flowers, a tennis ball-sized bud rises from the water and will open to reveal as many as 50 petals.

Its fragrance resembles tuberose, pineapple and banana.

In its native setting, the bloom reopens a second night, admitting pollinating scarab beetles, which don’t live here — only in South America. The flower closes on the beetles, changes from female to male and opens to release the insects that have fertilized the plants.

Hudson Gardens’ information also says that the Victoria water lily is over 160 million years old — it appeared when South America was still connected to Africa and Antarctica. There are two species: Victoria Amazonica and Victoria Cruziana.

Natives of South America

make flour from the seeds of the Victoria water lily to bake cakes.

Hudson Gardens’ Water Lily Pond was created in 2012 to house the Victoria water lily collection. It also presents other types of water lilies and duckweed, the smallest flowering plant in the world, which looks like a dense green mat. Flowers are tiny and dangle beneath the water’s surface, as do the roots.

We are told that duckweed, often thought to indicate an unhealthy pond, actually helps balance the ecosystem and provides shade for the underwater wildlife. It also provides a source of fat and protein for birds.

While visiting the Water Gardens, take time to look for the lotus, which, like the water lilies, is rooted in a natural soil bed under the water.

Hudson Gardens, at 6115 S. Santa Fe Drive, is open sunrise to sunset daily.

Admission is free. Parking near entrance. In addition to ponds, flower gardens are in full bloom. Visit HudsonGardens.org for information about classes and special programming. The popular Sunday concerts are not being held this summer.

Long course is early season challenge Vista Nation XC Two-Mile Invitational sees record by boy runner

BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Harrison Witt was zealous after winning the boys race at the Vista Nation XC Two-Mile Invitational meet on Aug. 28, while girls winner Taylor Whitfield was more reserved after her victory.

Witt, a senior at Mountain Vista High School in Highlands Ranch, ran the two-mile cross country course on the Mountain Vista campus in 9:34 to break the course record of 9:53 set by Valor Christian’s Cole Sprout.

“I felt I ran great,” said Witt. “We had a lot of good preparation, a lot of good workouts. On the second lap I ran by some of our fans and it was pretty cool to hear their voices and help me to think about why I race.

“It was a course record time by 15 or 20 seconds. That’s pretty cool. We do a lot of our workouts on this course so I know it pretty well.”

Whitfield had a 10-second margin over second-place Emma Stutzman of Pomona with a winning time of 11:27 in the girls race on an overcast day with a light rain falling.

“It went good,” said Whitfield. “Me and my teammates worked together

The conditions were great. We were so grateful it wasn’t hot. We started strong, attacked the hills and we were running with everything we had because you don’t know how long it will last.

Valor Christian’s Taylor Whitfield, shown with number 808, won the girls race on Aug. 28 at the Vista Nation XC Two-Mile Invitational meet with a time of 11:27.

“Going up that last hill I was saying: `You gotta go, and remember your teammates are right behind you.’ They were doing their best and pushing through pain so I can do it for them.”

Valor Christian won the team title in the girls competition with 20 points.

Mountain Vista was second with 51 points followed by Regis Jesuit, Niwot and Broomfield to round out the top five teams.

Jocelyn Millican of Valor Christian finished third in the individual race while teammates Lanie Szuch was fourrh, Suvina Heidt fifth and Valor’s Brooke Wilson seventh.

Mountain Vista had three girl runners finish among in the top 10, with Shayda Zarrin in sixth place, Annie Romalia ninth and Shantell Hatner 10th.

Witt helped Mountain Vista to a first-place finish in the boys team standings with 40 points. Chaparral was second with 71 points while Rock Canyon ran third, Dakota Ridge fourth and Valor Christian fifth.

In the boys individual race, Vista’s Jayden Nats was fourth. George Maldonado III of Chaparral was fifth with teammate Brennan Draper sixth. Robert Scott of Rock Canyon was seventh, Owen Nolan of Mountain Vista eighth

Mountain Vista’s Harrison Witt set a course record of at the Vista Nation XC Two-Mile Invitational meet.

and Valor’s Ty Garnett ninth.

The two-mile course is used a lot in early season races as runners get tuned up for the 5,000 km or 3.1 mile courses that are used during the regular and post-season races.

“For sure this race helps for the rest of the season,” said Whitfield. “This course is really hilly so it takes a lot endurance-wise to get up the hills and is good preparation for running an extra mile. And it was good practice for racing together after not racing for so long.”

Mountain Vista coach and meet director Jonathan Dalby was impressed

by Witt’s performance.

“Harrison ran a great race,” he said.

“The time was impressive because he was out there running for his teammates, not for himself. Over the past five months Harrison has put the team goals in front of his individual goals.

As a result, he has set himself up to have a successful senior year.”

“Petitioners are ready, willing, and able to litigate the issues raised in this petition in either the state District Court in Denver, or the United States District Court for the District of Colorado, or both,” the lawsuit said.

The mask mandate was issued by Polis on July 17 to slow the spread of the coronavirus after he initially said such a requirement was unenforceable.

The Democrat has since said the mandate helped quash a surge in COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations in Colorado.

Polis blasted Malkin and Neville for bringing the lawsuit.

“We are free to be on the side of a deadly virus that has taken the lives of too many friends, parents, and loved ones, or on the side of Coloradans,” Polis said in a written statement in response to the lawsuit. “I’m on the side of Coloradans.”

Neville, who is a race to maintain his leadership position at the Capitol, said at the time the suit was filed: “We are in month five now of these executive orders with no legislative input. I think the governor has gone well beyond the power that has been given to him. He is actually legislating and writing laws. That’s our job as the legislature. It’s time to put an end to that.”

Polis has has issued dozens of executive orders since the pandemic hit Colorado. The mask mandate is at least the third to be challenged

Neville’s lawsuit specifically alleged that the mask mandate violates the Colorado constitution and asked for a legal review of the Colorado Disaster

Emergency Act under which Polis issued the order and others.

The legal filing alleged that the court, in the case around signature gathering, ruled that Polis cannot suspend a constitutional requirement.

Neville and Malkin argue the mask mandate constitutes a new law and

only the legislature is allowed to make laws.
