County remains red, but hints of blue emerge While Republicans dominated Nov. 3 election, Democrats say inroads are being made

BY ELLIOTT WENZLER EWENZLER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Republicans from Douglas County again defeated their opponents in all races for the board of county commissioners and state Legislature this year, with most contests being decided by more than 10 percentage

points. But margins of some of those victories were significantly smaller than in the past, and voters from one part of the county narrowly chose a Democrat to represent them in the U.S. House.

The county is still clearly red, but to some, the Nov. 3 election offers rays of hope for Democrats amid a

slowly shifting political landscape.

“We’re eating away at their lead,” said Dana Torpey-Newman, the head of the Douglas County Democrats.

Andy Jones, vice Torpeypresident of the DougNewman las County Republican Party, said the droves of people moving into the county are contributing to a shift in the county’s political makeup. But overall,

the community is still firmly conservative, he said.

“We had an incredibly difficult and very uphill battle against candidates that were funded by outside dollars,” Jones Jones said. “The citizens of Douglas County said ‘no that’s not us. That’s not who we are.’”

Republicans win county commissioner seats Spending by Democrats in the race far outpaced recent campaigns

BY ELLIOTT WENZLER EWENZLER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

In an election in which Democrats raised hundreds of thousands of dollars and were financially competitive with Republicans for the first time in at least 20 years, GOP candidates still soundly defeated their opponents in the races for two county commissioner seats.

Lora Thomas and George Teal each won by large margins in the at-large elections for the District 2 and District 3 seats. The third Thomas commissioner seat, held by Republican Abe Laydon, was not up for reelection.

Thomas, the incumbent for District 3, won by more than 17 percentage points (58.7% to 41.3%), according to the county’s unofTeal ficial, updated results released Nov. 6, three days after the Nov. 3 election. Her opponent, Democrat Darien Wilson, conceded the election shortly after the first round of results was released on Election Night.

In the District 2 race, Teal, a Castle

Rock Town Council member, defeated Democrat Lisa Neal-Graves by about 13 percentage points (54.8% to 41.6%).

Victoria Reynolds, the Libertarian candidate in the race, garnered 3.6% of the vote. These three candidates were vying for the position being vacated by Commissioner Roger Partridge, who is term-limited.

Neal-Graves and Wilson both raised significantly more contributions for their campaigns than other Democrats in recent history, with Neal-Graves actually outraising her Republican opponent. As of Oct. 30, Neal-Graves had raised $151,480 and Teal had raised $137,798.

While Wilson was competitive in fundraising early in the race, incumbent Thomas ended up raising about $64,760 more than her opponent. As of Oct. 30, Thomas had raised more than $201,000 and Wilson nearly $137,000.

Both races were largely impacted by the current commissioners’ decision in July to leave the Tri-County Health Department in a year. Democratic candidates criticized the move, and Republicans defended it. Commissioners have since said they would agree to a draft proposal from the health department on a way to stay together.

On Election Night, Thomas thanked her supporters for her win.

“I’ve just always been focused on doing good for Douglas County and maintaining the excellent lifestyle in this county, and the voters have said that’s what they want, so we will continue doing that,” Thomas said.

Thomas said she hopes the county can come together.

Kellner leads, but race for DA still too close to call Democrat Amy Padden, Republican John Kellner vie to replace George Brauchler

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The election of a new 18th Judicial District Attorney was a race to watch before polls closed Nov. 3.

Then 7 p.m. on Election Day hit. Early returns rolled out.

Periodic updates followed. With each new batch of results, the race remained too close Kellner to call. Democrat Amy Padden held a narrow lead until Nov. 5, when her opponent Republican John Kellner emerged with his first — but still narrow — lead.

By Nov. 6, KellPadden ner maintained and slightly grew that lead to 50.14% of the 569,553 ballots counted. Padden trailed at 49.86%.

The margin was 1,551 votes in a race that had nearly 570,000 votes counted as of Nov. 6.

Thousands of ballots remained

uncounted three days after Election Night. Military and overseas ballots will trickle in until Nov. 12. And counties are still asking voters to cure ballots that could not immediately be processed, such as when a voter’s signature on a ballot envelope does not match the signature on file at the county clerk’s office.

A spokesman for Arapahoe County said as of Nov. 6, the county had asked 6,000 voters to cure ballots, although all other mail-in and in-person ballots were processed. There were 1,066 ballot envelopes still needing cured in Douglas County and 300 mail-in ballots were still being processed, a spokeswoman for Douglas County said.

Reached by phone on Nov. 5, Kellner said he was excited to see so many people interested in the criminal justice system. He was optimistic about his lead but waiting for every vote to be counted, he said, something he called crucial to ensuring voters’ voices are heard.

The race so far has “been a rollercoaster,” Kellner said. “I’m very fortunate to have some great supporters and familly to share this experience with.”

Padden on Nov. 6 said she would be keeping a close eye on how overseas, military and cured ballots would affect the final count.

Gardner’s future could follow different paths One strategist sees possible governor, while other observers see business, lobbying

BY JESSE PAUL AND JOHN FRANK THE COLORADO SUN

What’s next for Cory Gardner?

That was the big question on Colorado Republicans’ minds a day after Gardner was decisively knocked out of his U.S. Senate seat by Democrat John Hickenlooper on Nov. 3.

At only 46, Gardner still has plenty of time to regroup and continue his political career, which began in 2005 when he was appointed to a seat in the Colorado Legislature. He also could head to the private sector.

Those closest to Gardner say they haven’t discussed the Republican’s future with him and that he’s been focused on his Senate reelection bid.

Gardner made no mention of his future in his concession speech on Election Night.

“He’s not somebody who’s already got his next job lined up,” said Rachel George, a former congressional staffer for Gardner. “That’s not his personality.”

But that hasn’t stopped speculation by his biggest cheerleaders about the options he has before him, nor has it eliminated their hopes that he will continue to be a force in Colorado politics.

One possibility: He could run for Colorado governor in 2022.

Sean Duffy, a Republican strategist and former aide to Gov. Bill Owens, said Gardner has a bright future.

“I think he would be a darn good governor. He reminds me very much of Bill Owens in his demeanor and his approach,” Duffy said. “He’s a good debater — he can get fired up but he doesn’t get loud.”

Gov. Jared Polis’ first term is up in 2022 and there isn’t yet a clear Republican frontrunner to challenge the Democrat. Polling shows a majority of Coloradans approve of the governor’s job performance.

Anyone who decides to take on Polis will also face a significant financial hurdle because Polis is so wealthy and willing to spend his money on his political future. In 2018, the year Polis was elected governor, he spent $23 million on his race and handily defeated Republican Walker Stapleton.

Individual donors can give Colorado gubernatorial candidates only $1,250 each election cycle, making it difficult for

Hickenlooper

anyone to keep up with Polis’ self-funding.

“His money advantage is a major barrier to entry,” said Josh Penry, a Republican political consultant and friend of Gardner’s.

Penry says life as a senator has been grueling for Gardner. It has meant that he’s often away from his wife and

three children, who live in northeastern Colorado.

“It’s a lot,” Penry said. “He does not live a glamorous lifestyle.”

That said, Penry doubts someone as ambitious and driven as Gardner will be able to simply hang it up and walk away.

“People who are drawn to

this business don’t usually satiate their appetite right away,” he said. “My guess is s we haven’t heard the last of a him.” t Gardner will also likely face c difficulty shaking his ties to g President Donald Trump in Colorado, said Rick Ridder, a g veteran Democratic pollster. t Gardner’s link to the president was in large part why he r a lost his bid for reelection. t Ridder expects those difficulties to last, though they e “may not last at this level.”

A “You can’t look at this data set and say: `Boy, a good g centrist Republican can win,’”r Ridder said, referencing his l recent polling. t Other Democrats agree. n “Cory’s problem was the state has changed and he did t not,” said Laura Chapin, a e Democratic consultant and c fierce Gardner critic. “The o voting demographics of Colorado do not lead to future career plans for Cory Gardner.”

She thinks Gardner will likely become a lobbyist. That could be difficult for him, however, since he sponsored legislation in the Senate that would have banned members of Congress from ever becoming lobbyists.

“It’s still a very tight race,” Padden said. “There are still votes coming in and there are more votes coming in than the margin right now, so it is critically important that everybody’s vote gets counted.”

Like Kellner, Padden said she was grateful for the amount of interest in the race.

“People were paying attention to this race in a way that people had not paid attention to district attorney races in the past,” she said.

Padden believes high-profile tragedies like the deaths of George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery and Breonna Taylor galvanized a new interest in systemic racism that likely affected interest in the local district attorney election as well.

“People were paying more attention to the inequities that we have in our criminal justice system as well as the power that a district attorney has,” she said.

Padden and Kellner — two prosecutors with lengthy resumes in the criminal justice system — are squaring off to replace term-limited 18th Judicial District Attorney George Brauchler.

The Republican district attorney has held the post for eight years and ran unopposed in 2016.

The district comprises Arapahoe, Douglas, Elbert and Lincoln counties and is Colorado’s most populous. The 2020 winner will assume office in January.

At the county level, Kellner held strong leads in three of the district’s counties: Douglas, Elbert and Lincoln.

Meanwhile, Padden had garnered a high percentage of votes in Arapahoe county.

Kellner, of Greenwood Village, currently serves as chief deputy district attorney in the 18th, supervising the district’s prosecutions in Douglas, Elbert and Lincoln counties. Brauchler brought Kellner in to help found the district’s cold case unit, an area Kellner has specialized in.

Padden, of Aurora, began her career in private practice before moving on to work as a prosecutor for the Colorado Attorney General’s Office and the U.S. Attorney’s Office. Today, she works as a prosecutor in the 11th Judicial District.

She promised a reform-minded approach to the job, aiming to bring down recidivism rates and boost diversion programs.

The winner of this election will be the last district attorney to lead the 18th Judicial District as it operates today, after the state Legislature this year passed a bill to split up the fast-growing district into two after this district attorney’s term.

Reverse Mortgage: The Lifesaving Help You’ve Been Looking For

by Matt Witt

I

s your mortgage payment “strangling” you? Are you worried about which bills to pay on your fixed income? Is there no joy in the Golden years because your budget is so tight? A reverse mortgage may be the lifesaving help you have been seeking.

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

Even if you don’t have a mortgage, you may be “house rich and cash poor.” You have paid into your home for many years and have accumulated housing wealth that can only be accessed if you sell. But now a reverse mortgage will allow you to access the equity in your home while you continue to own the home so you can get cash and make life a little easier.

To qualify for a reverse mortgage at least one borrower must be 62 or older, the home must be your primary residence, and you should have 30–60% equity.

Just to clarify, with a reverse mortgage, you are the only one who owns your home and its equity. The bank does not.

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

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

The Village Castle Pines: Brookfield Residential’s homes with a view SPONSORED CONTENT

New luxury homes are now available in The Village Castle Pines community.

If you’re looking for a home like no other, The Village Castle Pines is a perfect place to start. The 2,800-acre community utilized the beauty of Castle Pines, designing 1,700 homes that features wildlife and views of Pikes Peak, Mount Evans and the Colorado Rocky Mountains.

Built by Brookfield Residential, Community Manager Bill Gleeson said the community presents two new unique home styles in the Villa and the Lumen Portfolios, providing floor plans perfect for any family, couple or young professional.

The Lumen Portfolio consists of four single-family home designs, ranging from 2,500 square feet to 2,900 square feet, starting in the mid-$700s. All four home designs feature large windows that take advantage of natural light and open space. With a “Let the sun-

shine in” approach, Lumen homes feature walls of windows designed around floor plans with volume living spaces and clear, uninterrupted views from front to back.

The Villa Portfolio is comprised of two floor plans for paired homes, ranging in size between 2,300 and 2,700 square feet, starting $600s. The homes of Villa Portfolio feature wideopen living areas, a front porch and patio. These homes bring a sense of privacy and an abundance of natural

light that make you forget you share a wall with your neighbor.

“Everything we’ve created here is unique,” Gleeson said. “We worked to avoid the duplicate looks we’ve become accustom to in so many housing communities. The homes feature flexible floorplans where a loft can be converted into a bedroom, additional home office, or gym, giving homeowners the option for various lifestyles.”

The mountains are the cornerstone to the beauty of The Village Castle

Pines. The Village has 13 miles of both paved and natural trails, 80,000 Ponderosa pine trees and strategicallydesigned playgrounds throughout the community.

As an added bonus, The Village is a gated community with 48 full-time employees hired specifically to handle the needs of its residents.

“Here, you don’t have to do anything,” Gleeson said. “With staff available 24 hours a day, we are here to shovel your snow, change a flat tire, or provide security checks to make sure your home is secure while you on are vacation.”

Taking advantage of amenities already in place, Gleeson said residents also have high-end retail shopping nearby, which includes spas and restaurants.

“It’s tough to find walkable retail in the suburbs,” he said. “This high-end shopping center makes it where you don’t have to jump in your car to get somewhere. Instead, you can just walk and enjoy the scenery along the way.”

DCSD may switch back to full remote Interim superintendent warns of worsening COVID-19 trends

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The Douglas County School District is bracing for a switch back to remote education.

In a Nov. 6 letter, interim Superintendent Corey Wise warned the community that the district could soon

consider a transition back to remote learning if current COVID-19 trends continue going “in the wrong direction.” The district garnered a worse score on its “Decision Dashboard,” which scores the district based on a number of COVID-19 metrics, for two weeks in a row as of Nov. 6.

The district’s elementary students remain in full in-person learning, while middle and high school students undergo hybrid learning. But Wise recommended families begin preparations for a switch to remote learning, “should remote learning become necessary.”

“The best chance we have of keeping our schools open is if everyone continues to do their part by wearing face coverings in public, avoiding large gatherings, social distancing when possible and washing and disinfecting hands often,” Wise wrote.

Wise noted the entire state and nation are experiencing a surge in COVID-19 cases, saying “we are seeing a similar increase in cases here in Douglas County and in our schools.”

Between Oct. 25 and Nov. 2, there were 160 positive cases in schools,

Colorado, thinks Gardner could end up in Trump’s cabinet if the president is reelected to another term. If Trump loses, Brophy thinks Gardner has options.

“He’s a rare talent,” Brophy said. “I feel confident that he still has a future in politics.”

If Gardner doesn’t want to stay in politics, Duffy, the GOP consultant, says there’s a path for him, too.

“He could run a company. He would be a very good CEO. He’s whip-smart, and he’s as nice as he is smart,” Duffy said.

“People will call. He’s well liked.”

This story is from The Colorado Sun, a journalist-owned news out-

which forced 3,700 students and 450 into quarantine, according to Wise’s letter.

This month alone, the district has issued nearly 40 letters to school communities alerting them of COVID-19 exposures and quarantines.

For most the schools, whole classes transitioned to virtual learning while quarantines got underway. The district’s before and after school care program closed temporarily at one elementary school following a possible exposure.

Hospital leaders feel ‘very good’ about winter prep As COVID-19 surges, doctors in Douglas County feel more ready than ever to treat patients

BY NICK PUCKETT NPUCKETT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Douglas County hospitals report that they are prepared for the worst, as COVID-19 cases continue to surge locally.

As of Nov. 5, the three-day average of total cases in Douglas County rose to 131.7, the highest three-day average since the pandemic began in Colorado in March. Hospitalizations related to COVID-19 in Douglas County reached 311 as of Nov. 5.

Doctors feel more confident in treating patients with COVID-19 than they did when the pandemic began.

While the spike of new cases alarms area doctors, the bigger concern for some is keeping their staff healthy.

Dr. Devin Bateman, chief medical officer for Parker Adventist and Castle Rock Adventist hospitals, Centura Health hospitals, said it is vital for hospital staff to practice the same diligence in public safety

protocols, wearing a mask and social distancing, when they are outside the hospital.

“In the hospital, we are in a safe environment and it feels very normal to be cautious, but also what is important is everybody does it when they step outside the hospital,” Bateman said. “We need to make sure our workforce stays healthy in the hospital and our community workforce stays healthy, whether it’s our schools, communities or businesses.”

Parker Adventist and Castle Rock Adventist have the benefit of being part of a larger health care system, which means staff can be moved to shorthanded hospitals in the Denver area and any shortages of personal protective equipment (PPE) can be moved where necessary. Sky Ridge Medical Center, a HealthOne hospital, also benefits from being part of a large system.

Bateman said he feels “very good” about the preparedness level at Parker Adventist. He said the processes for admitting and isolating COVID-19 patients have been in place since March, the hospital system’s load of PPE is in “very good shape” and doctors know more about how to treat patients with the disease.

“I really think hospitals are better

prepared today than ever before to face whatever comes this winter,” Bateman said.

In an Oct. 28 virtual town hall with local hospital leaders, Sky Ridge Medical Center President and CEO Kirk McCarty said there are two main principles the hospital is focusing on: keeping staff safe and keeping the community safe. That includes, he said, people who need nonCOVID-related medical attention.

“There are a lot of patients that are in need of care outside of COVID, and a lot of times that’s gotten lost in the pandemic situation,” McCarty said.

McCarty, who was named head of the largest hospital in Douglas County on April 1, said the hospital knows more about how to treat the disease than they did when the pandemic began.

“The volume has peaked again — not to the level it was in March and April, but it has increased,” McCarty said. “The patients aren’t as sick, but they’re still coming to the hospital and needing that support.”

Bateman also emphasized the importance of people visiting the hospital when they need treatment for non-COVID afflictions. Parker Adventist and Castle Rock Adventist test everyone undergoing a proce-

dure, regardless of the reason.

“It will continue to adjust,” Bateman said. “As testing expands, we may even look at testing even more patients.”

Bateman and McCarty both stressed the importance of individual responsibility to combat the virus. As the holiday season approaches, family members will travel into Douglas County, most notably college-aged students, who seem to be the main culprits behind recent outbreaks.

“I think people may be letting their guard down a little bit when we need to continue to be vigilant, and that’s true for our schools, communities and businesses,” Bateman said.

“Please continue to be vigilant. Be careful, even in your own families and small gatherings … We just really need to be vigilant and be cautious and not let our guards down.”

Bateman also emphasized his appreciation for the support from the community.

“The last eight months have been challenging for the entire community,” Bateman said. “As s hospital system, as Centura, Parker Adventist, Castle Rock Adventist, we appreciate the support we received from our community and we will continue to serve our community.”

Tri-County approves proposal, county on track to remain with agency The new policy grants more authority to elected officials in public health decisions

BY ELLIOTT WENZLER EWENZLER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Douglas County is on track to remain with Tri-County Health Department after the agency’s board of health approved a policy change for enacting countywide public health orders in a Nov. 6 meeting.

The new policy, approved by eight of the nine members of the board,

has three key changes: • The three counties’ elected officials will now be consulted before any orders are put in place.

• County commissioners will have the ability to opt out of any orders that may impact them.

• If Tri-County must put an emergency health order in place, the health department’s executive director will brief and consult commis-

sioners as soon as possible following the order.

This decision comes months after Douglas County’s board of commissioners announced it planned to leave Tri-County, one day after the agency implemented a mask mandate for the county.

At the time, commissioners said they were looking into forming their own health department, but a few weeks after the announcement, the county began talks with Tri-County about how they could remain together.

Since then, Douglas County and

Tri-County have been in negotiations about a possible policy change that would allow counties more power in public health decisions.

All of the board members voted to approve the proposal except board president Rosanna Reyes, of Adams County, who abstained from the vote.

Rosanna and one other board member expressed frustration with the change in policy.

“I have to say how disappointed I am that we are where we are today,” said Jullie Mullica, an Adams County SEE PROPOSAL, P22

VOICES

Looking down at someone to be looked up to

L

ooking down from the second level inside the Aurora Mall 35 years ago, I saw an older man, mid-60s, walking alone and unnoticed.

He wasn’t hurrying but showed no signs of impairment.

He was wearing a pale yellow QUIET button-up shirt DESPERATION and slacks, not jeans.

The B-17 was a four-engine, heavy bomber developed in the 1930s for the United States Army Air Corps.

During World War II, the Craig Marshall “Flying ForSmith tress” was used primarily in the daylight bombing campaign that focused on German industrial and military targets.

Routing the planes to and from the targets was extremely dangerous. They were large and relatively slow targets for Ger-

man planes and ground-based, anti-aircraft fire, including flak.

As he walked, the man looked all around and eventually up. He spotted me, waved, and I waved back.

The Air Force Association stated, “More than 50,000 Airmen lost their lives in the four years of WWII and the majority of those losses were on bomber missions over Nazi Germany in B-17s and B-24s. The average age of the crew of a B-17 was less than 25, with four officers and six enlisted Airmen manning the aircraft. Their chance of survival was less than 50 percent.”

At some point, the military noticed that morale was suffering because of the loss of men and aircraft, so they came up with a goal for flyers to aim for: complete 25 missions and you go home.

William Wyler, who directed two of my favorite films (“The Best Years of Our Lives” in 1946 and “Roman Holiday” in 1953) volunteered to serve as a major in the United States Army Air

Corps.

Wyler went to England and directed two documentaries, one after noticing the painting of a shapely woman on the nose of a B-17 parked on the tarmac.

To the left of the painting were the words “Memphis Belle.”

Wyler directed “The Memphis Belle: A Story of a Flying Fortress” in 1944.

In 1990, a war film was released titled “Memphis Belle” that fictionalized the 25th mission of the plane Wyler had chosen for his documentary.

For some World War II B-17 flyers, the 25 mission goal came too late. Those who survived flew as many as 30.

The man below stopped walking and when I signaled I’d be down he took a seat on a nearby bench.

“The Best Years of Our Lives” stars Fredric March, Dana Andrews, and a non-professional actor named Harold Russell, a World War II veteran who lost both hands while teaching demolition work as an instructor at a

base in North Carolina.

The aerial shots of Boone City, the city where the servicemen return, were filmed over Cincinnati.

One of the film’s most compelling scenes takes place in an “aircraft boneyard” when Captain Fred Derry (Dana Andrews) walks among hundreds of retired B-17 carcasses. It was filmed at the Ontario Army Airfield in Ontario, California.

Years before I encountered the man at the mall, I discovered he had been one of the flyers who completed thirty missions and was the captain and pilot of a B-17.

I often think about that day when I saw him walking by himself, unnoticed.

When we met at the bench, he stood, and I gave my father a big hug.

n the words of Forrest Gump: “My mom always said that life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you’re gonna get.”

The one thing that separates a good movie or mystery from a great movie or mystery is the element of WINNING suspense and surprise. As WORDS each story plays out, what will happen next will keep us on the edge of our seats, perhaps shock or scare us, make us laugh, and hopefully astonish us Michael Norton in a good way.

It’s when what happens next is completely expected that leaves us feeling a bit disappointed. I find that most of us who really enjoy mysteries and thrillers look forward to the unexpected outcome, and the twists and turns of a book, television series, movie, game or competition of any kind. It’s when we already can predict or

even see what happens next that we lose interest.

If 2020 has taught us anything, it is to expect the unexpected.

And although there are many of us who really enjoy a great mystery, there are many more of us who need to know the plot, the players, the situation and an ending that they had already figured out, or probably at least anticipated. Previously, we might have known the camp that we fell into; those who love a good mystery or those who really need to know what’s happening next.

However, this year has given us all a reason to try and get ahead of what happens next, wanting to know what we should expect and when we should expect it. We find ourselves asking things like how bad it will be, or how fast will it happen. In a book, movie, or game, it’s OK to leave us on the edge of our seat, but in real life, especially during this year that we have just lived through together, we want the answers before we take our seat or before the game starts.

Curiosity got the better of me,

so I began to ask why. Why do we need to know what happens next? I asked friends and family members. I consulted business advisers and mentors of mine. And I asked some of you who read this column regularly.

When thinking about the “why” of knowing what happens next, most people used words like fear, anxiety, worry, doubt, disruption and insecurity. The reality is that many of us are just uncomfortable with the unknown.

There was a saying that was shared with me a long time ago, and I shared it with those I spoke to, so I will share it with you too, “Panic is our worst enemy, nothing is ever as bad as it seems, all will be well.” This usually led to a dialogue where we could talk about replacing words like fear, worry and doubt of the unknown with the excitement of the unknown. Or thinking about disruption as disruption of the status quo and maybe changing things that needed change. And when it came to insecurity, the conversation shifted from what we are insecure about to what we can find security in.

What can we find security in when it feels like we are living in an insecure world? We can start with how we see ourselves, not how the situation or environment sees us. We then move on to our foundation, our faith and our belief system. We can focus on our attitude through the lens of what we can do, not what we can’t do. We take comfort and solace in our relationships and those we love. And we anchor everything in hope.

How about you? Are you ready for what happens next no matter what it is? Do you look forward to the mystery as it unfolds or are you looking for a predictable outcome? I really would love to hear your story at mnorton@ tramazing.com and when we understand that we can handle the twists and turns of this next mystery, it really will be a better than good week.

OBITUARIES SPÜHLER

In Loving Memory of Hanspeter Spühler (Hanspi, Pfadi name “Hengst”) September 4, 1940 – October 23, 2020

After a difficult battle with Multiple Myeloma, we lost our beloved father, grandfather, partner and friend . . . with his loving family by his side. We loved him dearly and miss him deeply.

Family and friendship meant EVERYTHING to Hanspi. His passions, energy and generosity will never be forgotten. He was a go-getter, a successful, motivated man who made a difference in the lives of many.

Hanspeter was an Upper Lieutenant in the Cavalry in Switzerland and loved horses! He was in the Riding Club in Switzerland for 10 years and then played Polo via Riding Club in Denver years later.

Hanspeter married Susanne Handschin in 1968 and they immigrated by boat to the USA. They drove cross-country from New York to Colorado with a VW Bug and then a ’65 Mustang convertible. They met, while dancing and skiing in Gstaad, Switzerland, and wanted to move to a location with amazing ski mountains. Colorado was it!

It started as a two-year honeymoon, but Hanspi and Susanne loved Colorado so much that they wanted to call it their forever home.

He and Susanne had two children, Sibylle (Sienna and Logan) and Daniel (Beaux and Trey). Together, they continued their Swiss traditions including baking a typical Swiss bread called Zopf, lighting real candles on a real Christmas tree that lit up the room, celebrating the first of August (Swiss Independence Day) with lots of festivities, and speaking Swiss-German in the home.

Together, they built their first house in the heart of Greenwood Village and were married for 20 years.

During this time, Hanspeter and Susanne were founding members of the SAFS – Swiss American Friendship Society. He was the

president of this special social club twice and made lifelong friendships as a result of his involvement over the years. They participated in many events, hosted many parties and offered his mountain home and home in Castle Rock, where everyone could gather and enjoy their time together.

Hanspeter was a Design Engineer by day and studied to obtain his MBA by night. He was always an entrepreneur at heart. While working at an engineering firm, he started a side business called European Supplies.

He sold Swiss Clips or frameless frames, in partnership with Jim Segeslski in California who later purchased the business. In the meantime, Hanspeter started a unique business at the age of 40, with nothing but a few contacts and the help of Elmar Fend, whom he considered his best friend until the end. He imported cable and strain relief connectors from Germany and distributed them around the USA, Mexico and Canada.

These businesses, Sealcon and Hi Tech Controls, still exist 40 years later and were grown from a basement operation to very successful firms. Daniel started working in the family business directly after college and is now leading them into the future.

Hanspeter developed these businesses from the ground up with heart and soul, and he has created a positive workplace for many employees.

Hanspeter was also on the Breckenridge, A-Basin and Loveland Volunteer Ski Patrol teams for 35 years . . . as a result of his

passion for skiing. Susanne was at his side every step of the way and we skied as a family every weekend, whether we had blizzard conditions or sunshine. He enjoyed using his altimeter to count his runs and altitude, and he often ate just a Swiss chocolate on the lift for lunch. He was truly a ski machine!

In his second phase of life, Hanspeter met Kathryn Barrington. They were married for 25 years and shared a love of the Arts and Golden Retrievers. They always adopted a pair of Goldens together from the Golden Retriever Rescue of the Rockies, so they each had a buddy. Today, we have Hanspeter’s sweet and loving Zoey and Riley with us, as a wonderful memory and to carry the love forward. They also built many homes together which was a testament to their patience, creativity and ability to work together!

During their marriage, Hanspeter generously sponsored Thanya Doungjan in Thailand from a very young age into adulthood, and he ensured she was able to study, become successful and learn English.

She visited and lived with Hanspeter and Kathy for six months, and even learned to ski! She is forever grateful for his contributions in her life and considers him family.

Hanspi was also very involved with the Rotary Club, whereby he donated time, energy and money, participated in special events, hosted large parties, discussed business ideas and built special friendships.

These amazing friends were here, during his difficult cancer battle and offered love, support and even cooked for Hanspeter and his partner Margrith.

Margrith Hofmann is an angel and has been such a loving, caring support for Hanspi, emotionally, mentally and physically, from the wonderful beginning to the challenges at the end. Sibylle and Daniel with Myrna were also at their dad’s side 24/7 the last two months and helped with everything from doctor appointments to cooking to personal and emotional support.

He was very loved and we hope he felt this warmth in his heart and soul, with everyone who has been involved in his life and cared.

As he passed away, the clouds parted and a ray of light shined down upon Hanspeter’s face. He is now with the angels, radiating his positive energy into our hearts and lives.

In lieu of flowers, we would greatly appreciate a donation for Multiple Myeloma, in honor of Hanspeter Spühler – https://give.myeloma.org/site/Don ation2?idb=255024820&DONATIO N_LEVEL_ID_SELECTED=1581&df_ id=3435&mfc_pref=T&3435. donation=form1&idb=[[S76:idb]] Or . . . Golden Retriever Rescue of the Rockies, in honor of Hanspeter Spühler – https://www.coloradogives.org/index.php ?section=organizations&action=newDon ation&fwID=27452 CELEBRATION of LIFE was held in his beautiful Castle Rock home on Sunday, November 1, 2020 from 1 to 6 pm (with social distancing, masks and designated time slots).

THOMAS

Eugene Thomas Former Douglas County News and Elbert County News publisher Hubert Eugene “Gene” Thomas, 88, of Kirk CO, died October 27, 2020, in Yuma CO from complications after a fall and a long-term lung infection.

Gene was born December 7, 1931, to Floyd and Estellene (Morrow) Thomas, in Grand Junction and grew up on a farm near Mack.

He graduated from Fruita Union High School, Fruita, and attended Mesa College, Regis College, and the University of Colorado Boulder, earning a BA in psychology from CU. He also went to Linotype school in English IN and worked as a typesetter at the Grand Junction Daily Sentinel and the Montrose Daily Press, and as a printer at the Boulder Daily Camera.

On May 17, 1956, Gene married Patricia Louise Kresha of Osceola NE. Beginning in 1957 he (and Pat, until her death in 1977) published the Fruita Times, the Huerfano World in Walsenburg, the Pleasant Hill (MO) Times, the Douglas County News and the Elbert County News (1976-77), the Johnstown Breeze, and the Nevada (IA)

Journal, and then he started a letterpress paper in Kirk, the South Y-W Star, which he published and printed for eight years, retiring in 2010.

Along the way he also enjoyed doing letterpress print jobs and collecting type.

Gene was a beloved husband, father, grandfather, and friend. In addition to newspapering, he loved reading, gardening, traveling to new places, learning about new things, visiting friends, and spending time with his family and his pets. He had been a member of the Rotary Club, the Lions Club, and the Colorado Press Association.

In addition to his wife, Gene was preceded in death by his brother, Curtis, and his sister, Kathleen Pershing. He is survived by a son, Joseph, of Kirk; three daughters, Teresa, of Fargo ND; Karen, of Fargo; and Gloria and husband Brett Beckfield, of Hummelstown PA; four grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.

No memorial service was held. The family asks that friends subscribe to their local newspapers in Gene’s honor.

Pastors say they rely on local, state guidance as disease drags on

A

s Colorado’s third wave of COVID-19 grips the state, churches in the Denver metro area are preparing to take additional precautions, although they differ in their plans to do business in the weeks ahead, from full virtual services to limited in-person gatherings.

Dr. Amy Gearhart, lead pastor at Arvada United Methodist Church, said their church is paying close attention to the guidance of local and state health agencies. The church has not held in-person services since the pandemic reached Colorado.

“We’re a congregation that’s in total support and confidence in the scientific research and data,” she said.

The closest that Arvada United Methodist Church came to holding in-person gatherings during COVID-19 was when it hosted drive-in services in the parking lot during the warmer fall months. With winter approaching, the church is switching back to full virtual as of Nov. 8.

Gearhart said there have been advantages to virtual sermons. Each Sunday they post a pre-produced sermon to YouTube. The church garners roughly 100 more views than what inperson attendance might have been before the pandemic, she said.

It also offers a solution for at-risk congregation members, she said.

Feldmeir also said virtual services was about half of pre-pandemic have expanded the church’s reach. levels.

tendance before COVID-19 hit, Thulson said, and they estimate a dozen families tune in by livestream. He is not sure at what point the church would switch to full virtual services, if a shutdown is not ordered by local or state agencies, with which he vowed they would comply.

“That’s a great question,” he said.

The pandemic has placed numerous barriers on churches, he said, and there are mixed reactions to steps the church takes. Some people believe the church should not meet at all while others wish services could continue as normal.

“There are different opinions on all this. Not outright division but it’s kind of a continuum,” he said.

Gearhart said her congregation has been supportive of staying virtual and social distancing, but she knows pastors who have weathered pushback against following COVID-19 precautions.

Moving forward, the pastors said they’ll look to health agency guidance for navigating the pandemic in coming weeks, and they’ll try to keep up morale among community members.

“I think probably like everybody in our community and around the world, there is tremendous COVID fatigue and Zoom fatigue and I think that’s only exacerbated by some of the social division, political division,” Feldmeir said. “But I think there’s also a tremendous sense of a collective sense of we’re going to get through this.”

COUNTY

NUMBER OF UNAFFILIATED VOTERS GROWS

FROM PAGE 1

One election Jones and others have pointed to is the state House District 43 race. Democrats focused on this race and outraised Republican Kevin Van Winkle by $13,500. On Nov. 3, Van Winkle defeated his Democratic opponent, Jennifer Mitkowski, by 6 percentage points. His margin of victory, however, has shrunk since he was first elected in 2014. That year, he won by 27 percentage points. In 2016, it was 21, followed by 9 in 2018.

Changing demographics The district Van Winkle represents is made up almost entirely of Highlands Ranch, one of the areas county Democrats and Republicans agree is changing in political demographics.

Also this year, Highlands Ranch residents — represented by Congressional District 6 — chose Democrat Jason Crow, albeit by fewer than 200 votes. The district also includes Aurora, Centennial and other parts of Arapahoe County.

In 2018, incumbent Republican U.S. Rep. Mike Coffman lost the seat, but defeated Crow in Douglas County by nearly 6 percentage points.

“Highlands Ranch is far more progressive than the rest of this county,” Torpey-Newman said.

Jones agrees that Highlands Ranch — the largest community in the county with nearly 100,000 residents — is different.

“I think it’s obvious to everybody that demographics in Highlands Ranch are changing and that’s where we’re seeing a lot of this being reflected,” he said.

CD6 was the only race in which a Democrat won Douglas County, but the races for commissioner, 4th Congressional District, U.S. Senate and president showed smaller margins of victory for Republicans than in recent years.

Newly elected commissioner George Teal, however, doesn’t see this trend leading to seats flipping blue any time soon.

“I really don’t buy it,” said Teal, a Republican. “If they’re in for a 20-year haul they may get results. Or Douglas County will remain the place where Republicans can run, win and govern.”

The margin of victory in Teal’s race for the District 2 seat has significantly decreased. In 2016, Republican commissioner Roger Partridge beat his Democratic opponent by nearly 37 percentage points. This year, Teal defeated Democrat Lisa Neal-Graves by 13 percentage points.

“Yes, they closed a significant gap, but maybe that’s the gap that money buys,” Teal said. “They’re likely going to need to do a significant financial investment

The number of unaffiliated voters has risen sharply in Douglas County over the past four years, overtaking voters registered with both the Democratic and Republican parties, according to the secretary of state’s registration data.

Active voters as of Nov. 1 of each election year: 2016 Democrats: 43,231 Republicans: 97,129 Unaffiliated voters: 67,678

Supporters of Democrats in local, state and national elections stand at a street corner in Highlands Ranch on Election Day.

about,” she said.

In the state Legislature races, most of the Douglas County Republican candidates won on Nov. 3 by margins similar to their winning tallies in 2018. The biggest difference is when compared to 2016. For example, state Rep. Patrick Neville, of Castle Rock, won the House District 45 seat by 40 percentage points in 2016, 25 percentage points in 2018 and 23 percentage points last week.

2018 Democrats: 45,006 Republicans: 95,163 Unaffiliated voters: 80,671 2020 Democrats: 51,458 Republicans: 98,252 Unaffiliated voters: 102,698 just like they did this year to even go down that road.”

Democrats spent hundreds of thousands of dollars in an effort to flip two county commissioner seats, while also spending much more in pursuit of seats at the state Capitol.

Democrat Darien Wilson — who was defeated in the race for commissioner of District 3 by Republican incumbent Lora Thomas — agrees to an extent, adding that she doesn’t see significant gains for Democrats in Douglas County until the demographics change even more.

Democrats comprise only about 20% of the registered voters in the county, with Highlands Ranch having the highest concentration at roughly 23%.

Countywide, Republicans account for nearly 40% of voters, while unaffiliated voters make up more than 40% of the electorate.

“I don’t see the county going blue for 10 years, probably would be my guess,” Wilson said. “We’ve seen it happen in Jefferson and Arapahoe Counties. It’s just a matter of time.”

In 2016, Thomas won her race by 33 percentage points. This year, her margin of victory was cut to about 18 percentage points in her race against Wilson.

Wilson was disappointed that the margin wasn’t slimmer.

“For how hard we ran, I expected a lot more movement,” she said. “I think people just voted party lines down the ticket.”

Thomas said she plans to dig into this data in the coming weeks and identify who contributed to this margin change.

“That’s an opportunity for me to reach out to these groups and see what it is I need to be more responsive

Focusing on the message Jones, the vice president of the county Republicans, said he thinks this year’s bump in Democratic votes could be an anomaly.

“This was a presidential election year, so you’re obviously going to have higher turnout rates,” Jones said. “We may go back to normal voting patterns in say two years from now and all of these margins and inroads that were gained by the Democrats would disappear.”

But Torpey-Newman, the leader of the county Democrats, says this isn’t the last the county will hear from her party.

“A lot of people have thought that there are no Democrats in Douglas County and what we’ve shown is that we’re a force to be reckoned with,” she said. “We’re not afraid, and we’re going to keep coming so we can get actual representation.”

In the coming years, Torpey-Newman wants to focus on getting more people in the county involved in local politics, she said.

“You can tell that the demographics are changing and the more we educate people about what’s going on locally and what elected officials are and are not doing, the more upset people get,” she said. “These are extremist policies that people don’t like. We need to get much more public about all the things elected officials are doing.”

Jones says Republicans also plan to focus on messaging.

“We will continue to drive home the messaging of ‘why do you live in Douglas County? Because it’s a great place to live,’” he said. “‘Why is it a great place to live? It’s because our elected officials understand the proper role of government.’”

DOUGLAS COUNTY TURNOUT SURPASSES 2016 In 2016, active voter turnout was 89.6%. This year, 90.9% of active registered voters submitted a ballot, according to unofficial tallies from the secretary of state’s office. This percentage is still subject to slight change, as final results won’t be posted until Nov. 13.

“Douglas County voters turned out in record numbers for the General Election,” said Douglas County Clerk and Recorder Merlin Klotz in a statement through a county spokesperson.

“Colorado is a national model for the secure and efficient conduct of elections, and we have demonstrated this once again in the General Election.

Our citizens are highly engaged and the county’s 20 ballot drop boxes and 20 polling centers operated smoothly throughout the early voting period and on Election Day.”

TRUMP FROM PAGE 1

important to her in the 2020 general election.

“Freedom and law and order and pro-life,” she said. “Those are big ones.”

Hutton was not alone. Local Trump supporters stayed visible throughout Election Day, driving through Castle Rock with vehicles covered in Trump flags and cheering one another on with waves, hollers and honks from their vehicles.

Trump would go on to win Douglas County, with 52.4% of the vote. But four days after Election Day, the national race was called in favor of Democrat Joe Biden.

Matt O’Neal of Castle Rock said he was voting that day for his 5-year-old son Cooper, whom he brought with him to the Douglas County Fairgrounds polling center.

“I want to make sure for his legacy and when he is growing up, he is able to have his freedoms,” O’Neal said.

He voted Republican down the ballot, he said, and voted to re-elect President Trump. O’Neal does not support lockdowns during the pandemic or mask mandates, which he thinks should be a personal choice.

He also opposes the use of the New York Times’ “1619 Project” in schools. The president again earned his support for pushing back against allowing the report to be used in classrooms.

“To make sure that the kids aren’t learning all this stuff and not being brainwashed by not

being able to do the Pledge of Allegiance and ‘Under God,’” he said.

The “1619 Project” seeks to reframe the telling of America’s history with slavery and racism and remains an ongoing project. The 1619 Project Curriculum is available through the Pulitzer Center.

The project’s lead author Nikole Hannah-Jones won the 2020 Pulitzer Prize for Commentary after publishing an essay introducing the project, although the project has received criticism about its historical accuracy regarding the American Revolution, Poynter has reported.

Antonio Navarro beamed as he walked up to the polling center.

The Castle Rock man moved to the United States from Venezuela in 1994 and gained citizenship in 2008.

He couldn’t wait to vote, he said.

A devout Christian, Navarro said he is pro-life and cannot support pro-choice candidates.

Navarro said Trump has made mistakes. He likes that the president is not a typical politician but wishes Trump would change his language to be less offensive.

Trump should “be better in communicating what he feels,” Navarro said.

Sterling Stumf of Castle Rock voted in-person on Nov. 3, skeptical of the mail-in system.

“I voted for Trump, of course,” he said. “He’s done a really good job with the economy and promising things during his election in 2016 that he followed through on.”

As Stumf left the Douglas County Fairgrounds, he rolled down his vehicle’s window, held up a large Trump flag and smiled as he drove away.

Wolf reintroduction going ahead after narrow win Proposition 114 means apex predators will be established in Colorado despite controversy

BY JASON BLEVINS THE COLORADO SUN

Unleash the hounds.

Proposition 114 was decided Nov. 5 as votes from heavily populated Front Range counties pushed the wolf reintroduction plan to victory.

The measure, which tasks Colorado Parks and Wildlife with crafting a plan by the end of 2023 to reintroduce wolves into the Western Slope, was too close to call on Election Night and all day Nov. 4. The tightest statewide ballot issue in Colorado’s 2020 election, Proposition 114 was ahead by a narrow margin that veered close to triggering an automatic recount.

Opponents of the measure conceded the race Nov. 5. Even though there were more than 300,000 votes yet to be counted, a lead of more than 20,000 votes out of 2.97 million cast appeared insurmountable.

Coloradans Protecting Wildlife, the group opposing Proposition 114, said in a statement that it believed “forced wolf reintroduction” into Colorado is bad policy that should not have been decided by voters.

“All along, our opposition campaign was led by those who would be directly impacted by this measure, including real Coloradans, sportsmen, farmers

The state ballot measure to reintroduce wolves to Colorado has narrowly passed.

and ranchers, outdoor enthusiasts, and more,” said the statement from the group’s spokesman, Patrick Pratt.

“Despite a small group of wealthy, and often out-of-state, activists spending in excess of $2.1 million to pass this measure, our campaign, with less than $800,000 was able to illustrate why forced wolf introduction is wrong for Colorado.”

Few issues raise hackles in the West more than wolves. Farmers, ranchers and hunters fear the return of wolves could damage rural economies that are based on livestock and hunting. Advocates who have pushed to introduce and protect wolves in Idaho,

Wyoming, Montana, New Mexico and Arizona argue that Colorado is a final step in a 40-year effort to return wolf populations that were hunted into extinction in the 1920s.

Colorado is the first state to reintroduce wolves at the direction of voters rather than federal wildlife biologists working under the Endangered Species Act. Recently, Interior Secretary David Bernhardt announced that the gray wolf population in the U.S. was recovered and no longer needed protection under the Endangered Specials Act, which has protected the canines since 1978. The federal delisting transfers

management of wolves to states. A delisting of wolves in the Northern Rockies in 2008 legalized hunting and trapping of the predators. Colorado already has a law protecting wolves as a “species of concern,” making it illegal to kill the animals.

Supporters of Proposition 114 said the delisting emphasizes the need for additional protection of wolves that comes with reintroduction. Opponents argued the federal delisting proved that wolf populations are healthy enough in the Northern Rockies to migrate south and establish packs in Colorado. Earlier this year, Colorado wildlife biologists confirmed the presence of a wolf pack in the northwestern portion of the state.

The Colorado Wildlife Commission in 2016 rejected a proposal to reintroduce wolves, pointing to potential threats to the state’s big game population and livestock industry. More than three dozen rural counties in Colorado opposed Proposition 114. But voters in the state’s six most populated counties along the Front Range anchored the 13 counties that supported Proposition 114, illustrating a divide over wolves that fell largely along urban-rural lines.

Opponents of the measure hope the narrow margin factors into policy discussions as Colorado Parks and Wildlife gathers public input and assembles a plan for reintroduction.

That plan, per the ballot language, requires statewide hearings and includes creating a system to reimburse ranchers who lose livestock to wolves.

in the parking lot of the building at 19105 Longs Way in Parker.

The largest food drive of the year, 9Cares Colorado Shares, was canceled because of the pandemic, so the Parker Task Force is asking the community to purchase some items from the needs list and drop them off at the food bank. The items needed for the food bank can be found at www. parkertaskforce.org on the left side of the home page.

Members of the Rotary Club of Parker will be assisting with this food drive.

“Our inventory has dropped significantly over the last two weeks. That is not surprising since we are assisting a record number of people and are bracing for even more demand in the upcoming holiday season. We couldn’t do what we do without the support from the community. I am grateful that this

“The election results demonstrate that nearly half of Coloradans agree with us. We hope these election results show proponents, lawmakers and Colorado Parks and Wildlife that next steps must be taken in a measured, responsible way,” the statement from Coloradans Protecting Wildlife reads.

The group said it would continue to work to protect wildlife, ensure diverse groups — “not just activists and regulators from the Front Range” — are including in wolf-policy development, and to defend ranchers and “prepare the West Slope for the realities of introducing a new apex predator.”

Supporters of Proposition 114 say the margin doesn’t matter and welcome their opponents to the next step.

“The bottom line is that Proposition 114 is not based on how close the vote

community has always supported us and I ask for their continued support,” said Steve Budnack, volunteer chairman of the Parker Task Force.

was. It’s the law. We need to all get our heads around that fact and lean into the work ahead, which is fashioning a future for wolves in Colorado that we can coexist with,” said Rob Edward with the Rocky Mountain Wolf Action Fund. “We need to go forward as neighbors and adversaries and friends and create a future for wolves.”

Edward dismissed the notion that Proposition 114 passed solely on the back of Front Range and urban residents. He points to San Miguel, La Plata, San Juan, Summit and Pitkin counties, where a majority of voters approved the measure.

“We would not be having this conversation today had it not been for people on the Western Slope voting for wolves,” he said.

Public Notice Opportunity to Comment Phelps Road Access USDA Forest Service Pike National Forest South Platte Ranger District Jefferson County, Colorado The Pike National Forest is proposing a new Special Uses Authorization for Virginia Phelps under the Federal Land Policy and Management Act to access her property adjacent to Forest Service Road 534 (FSR534). A comment period is being provided to provide those interested in or affected by this action an opportunity to make their concerns known prior to a decision being made by the Responsible Official.

The new authorization would allow an existing spur road, .12 miles in length, to be permitted, upgraded, and maintained by the permittee to access her private property. The location of the spur road is 6PM, T8S, R70W, S.31; 39° 18.312, 105°15.588.

The spur road is accessed from FSR 534 and is commonly used by the public for dispersed camping. Allowing Mrs. Phelps access would not preclude use by the public for recreation. This action is expected to be categorically excluded from documentation in an environmental impact statement (EIS) or an environmental assessment (EA). The applicable category of actions is identified in agency procedures as 36 CFR 220.6(e)(15): Approval, modification, or continuation of minor special uses of National Forest System lands that require less than five contiguous acres of land.

Comments concerning this action will be accepted for 30 calendar days following publication of this notice in the Douglas County News-Press, the newspaper of record. Comments may be mailed to the South Platte Ranger District, 30403 Kings Valley Ranch, STE 2-115, Conifer, CO 80433 or submitted by FAX to 303-275-5642.
