Colorado Symphony has announced its 2021-22 season. Starting in September, the orchestra will perform 49 live indoor concerts featuring a lineup of renowned guest artists at Boettcher Concert Hall in downtown Denver.

The season is the orchestra’s first regular programming since COVID-19 closures began in 2020. In the last year and a half, the orchestra has put on several virtual performances and played 18 live shows at Red Rocks. Members have also performed in small ensemble concerts at venues like the Denver Botanic Gardens’ Evenings Al Fresco, the Denver Performing Arts Complex Galleria and Denver Zoo. The season will open Sept. 1719 with a guest performance by Grammy-winning pianist Emanuel Ax, who will join the orchestra to perform pieces like Chopin’s Second Piano Concerto, Barber’s Adagio for Strings and Mussorgsky’s Pictures at an Exhibition. This year, the orchestra plans to highlight talented and diverse composers, guest performers, soloists and conductors, including music by women composers Clarise Assad, Gabriela Lena Frank,

mission — one, to honor custodial staff around the world for International Justice for Janitors Day; and two, to march for increased wages and benefits as contract negotiations commence.

“Denver janitors, who are majority Latina immigrant women, are the often-invisible front-line workers in the fight against COVID-19 transmission,” states a proclamation from the City and County of Denver naming June 14-21, 2021, as Justice for Janitors Week.

Fee increases will pay for highway projects Polis signs transportation bill that adds to costs of gasoline, rideshares

BY JESSE PAUL THE COLORADO SUN

FLOYD HILL — Shaded by an Interstate 70 bridge that has fueled steering-wheel-pounding rage for generations, Gov. Jared Polis on June 17 signed a transportation fee and spending bill that seeks to inject more than $5 billion into Colorado road and transit projects over the next 11 years.

“Everybody knows we need to fix it,” Polis said of Colorado’s road and highway system before signing Senate Bill 260 under the curved I-70 bridge at the bottom of Floyd Hill, a structure over Clear Creek that chokes traffic and ruins the best-laid plans of skiers, snowboarders, hikers and bikers every weekend. “If it was easy it would have been done already.”

Colorado lawmakers have been trying to solve the problem of the state’s limited transportation funding for years, proposing tax hikes and bonding and committing more existing money from the state budget to the problem. But the efforts to find money in the couch cushions to supplement a 22-cent gasoline tax that hasn’t increased since 1992 have either not been successful or not been sufficient to tackle the breadth of the issue.

Senate Bill 260 was Democrats’ solution to the funding gridlock, allowing them to raise money without voter approval.

Fees under the measure begin next year. They include: • 2 cents per gallon on gasoline and diesel fuel starting in July 2022 that increases 1 cent every year up to 8 cents • 27 cents on deliveries, including those from Amazon, FedEx

and Grubhub • 30 cents on Uber and Lyft rides starting in 2022 that would increase based on the federal Consumer Price Index. The fee would be cut in half for people carpooling in a rideshare, or riding in an electric vehicle.

In addition to the funding mechanisms in the measure, there are also requirements that the Colorado Department of Transportation take greenhouse gas emissions reduction goals into account when planning future projects. State officials also must consider the impact of transportation work on communities where low-income people, minorities or housing-cost-burdened families make up 40% of the population under the new law.

Finally, the bill emphasizes — and spends money on — an electric-vehicle future, as well as mass transit, including a potential Front Range

STEM verdicts spark strong emotions in court Survivors, families react to guilty verdicts that will send shooter to prison for life

BY ELLIOTT WENZLER EWENZLER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

After two years of anger and sorrow, John and Maria Castillo cried tears of joy June 15 as a jury found the person who fatally shot their son guilty of first-degree murder.

Devon Erickson, 20, now faces a mandatory sentence of life in prison with no chance of parole for his role in the May 7, 2019 STEM School Highlands Ranch shooting. The attack left eight students injured and one, John and Maria’s son Kendrick, dead.

Erickson was also found guilty of an additional 44 charges, including 31 counts of attempted first-degree murder.

In the moments before the verdicts were announced, survivors and their families filled the courtroom, quietly whispering to one another as they awaited the news. After only a five-hour jury deliberation, many had to hurry to the courthouse. The Castillos, along with Erickson’s family, were some of the last to enter the room.

As the judge read the guilty verdicts for the two first-degree murder charges, emotions rippled across the courtroom. Victims and

their families nodded with approval, patted one another on the back and grabbed nearby tissues.

Each count of attempted firstdegree murder was associated with a person in classroom 107 that day, many of whom testified in the trial and were in the courtroom June 15.

As Judge Theresa Slade read out each person’s name and associated charge, affirming that the jury found Erickson guilty of attempting to murder them, those who were present nodded their heads or closed their eyes as those around them reached out with supportive pats.

Mitchell Kraus, who gave an emotional testimony about being shot in the stomach during the attack, sat in the courtroom with his family and other survivors. As the guilty verdict associated with him was read aloud, his parents reached out and rubbed his back.

Sitting behind Kraus was Brendan Bialy, another survivor and one of the students who — along with Kendrick — stormed Erickson to disarm him that day. Bialy leaned forward and whispered something to Kraus as he grabbed his friend’s shoulder.

When the guilty verdict for Erickson’s attempted murder of Bialy was announced, his mother sat next to him, squeezing his hand.

“We’re all part of a family we never wanted to be a part of,” Kraus said to reporters following the hearing.

A few of the STEM survivors and family members peered over at

the right side of the courtroom — where Erickson’s family sat — as the verdicts were announced. In that corner, a young woman shook with sobs. Erickson’s father appeared to be taking notes.

Erickson, who wore a gray suit and tie, stared ahead with his hands folded in front of him as the guilty verdicts were listed. He did not have a visible reaction to the verdicts.

Neither the family nor Erickson’s defense team were available in a media area following the verdict announcement.

“We’ve had tears of sorrow, we’ve had anger for a couple years. Today we had tears of joy,” said John Castillo in a press conference following the hearing. “As we heard those read off for every person, it was a release.”

Lead prosecutor George Brauchler, who also spoke to reporters, emphasized that it’s impossible to truly rectify what happened to the Castillos.

“This is a great outcome … but I’m going to leave here and go home and have dinner with my kids and hug them and think about the fact that John and Maria are going to get in their car and drive to a gravesite and share information with a headstone,” Brauchler said. “That is

sobering.”

During the 12-day trial, the jury heard from 63 witnesses, only two of whom were called by the defense.

The prosecution called on STEM students and teachers, doctors, forensic experts, first responders and others to share their insights into what happened that day.

The two expert witnesses called by the defense spoke about the possibility that Erickson had accidentally fired his gun due to an involuntary muscle contraction and that he was impaired because of long-term cocaine use and a lack of sleep.

The prosecution repeatedly questioned these ideas by asking witnesses if Erickson was coherent earlier in that day and in the moments before the shooting. They also drew attention to the fact that there are no academic studies available that cite involuntary muscle contractions for multiple gunshots.

Alec McKinney, who pleaded guilty in 2020 to charges similar to Erickson’s for his role in the attack and was sentenced to prison with parole eligibility, also testified for the prosecution. McKinney told the jury that the two of them had an elaborate plan for the attack that included killing everyone in Room 107 and then Erickson killing McKinney so he could “come off as the hero.”

Physical evidence discussed during the trial showed that Erickson’s gun had been fired four times, hitting three students. McKinney shot nine bullets, injuring four students.

The defense claimed in closing arguments that Erickson had some responsibility for what happened but that it wasn’t his intent to kill anyone. Defense attorney David Kaplan reminded the jury before their deliberations that they could find Erickson guilty of lesser charges, including second-degree murder, reckless manslaughter and criminally negligent homicide.

“Devon didn’t go in there with some plan,” Kaplan said.

Erickson’s sentencing, which will provide an opportunity for victims to speak to the court about the impacts of Erickson’s crimes, will be Sept. 17.

Legacy admissions ban is meant as message Few of Colorado’s public universities considered family ties before new law

BY JASON GONZALES CHALKBEAT

Colorado made news in May as the first state in the nation to ban legacy admissions at its public colleges.

But few colleges in the state even consider an applicant’s family ties to a school, so what does the law really change?

The answer, advocates say: perception.

They hope the law especially helps people of color, as well as low-income and first-generation students see these institutions as open to them.

Supporters believe the ban on legacy admissions makes a statement about who Colorado values in being admitted into college and clarifies the role of family ties to a school.

Sarah Staron, a University of Colorado-Denver graduate student, helped push for the bill because of the weight she believes perception plays in college applications. She recalls classmates wondering in lunchroom conversations whether having a family member who went to a university meant better odds in being admitted. That speculation can keep certain students from applying, she said, and the perception that legacy admissions ensured you were a shoo-in to a school.

The new law sends a clear message, Staron said. “We are saying that we will not stand for inherited privilege in Colorado.”

In reality, family ties are rarely a factor in admissions at the state’s public colleges. Eight of the 12 institutions officially do not consider family ties. The other four — Colorado State University, the Colorado School of Mines, Colorado Mesa University and Western Colorado University — report they consider those ties. They also admit most of the students who apply.

In fact, Colorado State, Western Colorado, and Colorado Mesa accept roughly 4 out 5 applicants. Mines accepts about half of all students who apply.

Nationally, legacy admissions play a role at wealthy private universities, where fewer than 1 in 5 applicants get in.

Richard Kahlenberg, an expert on admissions, said legacy admissions have huge consequences. He pointed to research that found that about half of leaders in U.S. business and government come from just 12 wealthy higher education institutions.

That’s why, he said, “an unfair admissions policy like legacy preference matters.”

Even if few Colorado schools use legacy admissions, Kahlenberg said the law sends a powerful message about which students should go to college.

School leaders across the state supported the bill. Several had changed their policies. The Univer-

sity of Colorado Boulder and the University of Northern Colorado, for instance, ended the practice in the past two years.

Clark Brigger, executive director of admissions at CU Boulder, said in a written statement that the school removed legacy admissions at the same time it made national standardized testing scores optional. The state legislature also approved a bill this year that makes the ACT and SAT optional in college admissions.

Since the changes, Brigger said applications have risen 24% among students of color and 11% among first generation students.

Even schools that do ask about an applicant’s family connection claim that they do not consider that information in admissions.

Heather Daniels, director of admissions at Colorado State University, said the school asks applicants about alumni in their family simply to collect the data.

Western Colorado University spokesman Chris Rourke said the school doesn’t use alumni connections as a top consideration in admissions.

Advocates said that even admissions staff themselves are confused about the role of alumni connections in admissions.

In surveying schools earlier this year, Staron found that some administrators could not clearly state how alumni relations weighed into admission offers, even at schools that claimed to have ended legacy admissions. Staron was working with

Young Invincibles, a national nonprofit organization that helps young adults advocate on higher education, health care, and workforce issues.

“We don’t want to imply that our colleges or admissions officers are in any way bad actors,” Staron said.

“But unless you actually run a bill to say we’re prohibiting this practice, those policies can sometimes just exist in perpetuity.”

Prateek Dutta, the policy director for Democrats for Education Reform, also found inconsistencies in how schools reported using family data.

“That illustrates a thumb on the scale for those who have family connections,” Dutta said.

With the law in place, advocates see opportunities to increase collegegoing rates for students of color and those that are low income and the first in their family to go to college.

Kahlenberg said real change would involve: giving more weight to the background of students who have disadvantages.

Staron said she hopes the state now tackles affordability and unconscious exclusion. Staron believes that the law could change how students view their chances of getting into college.

“I really believe this is going to get more students in the door,” she said.

“This is more than symbolic.”

It’s possible some of them are reevaluating the time we spent together in the perspective Craig Marshall of maturity; i.e., Smith maybe I wasn’t such a (expletive deleted) after all.

Perhaps others want to know if I am still alive.

These reunions have a short shelf life.

They last for an afternoon, a couple of days, a week at most.

Once we have provided updates, they enter an odd phase of wondering, “Where is this going?”

Often they begin with, “You might not remember me.”

Often I don’t.

Schoolteachers, especially at the college level, encounter an extraordinary range of individuals.

I’m convinced college art teachers encounter the most (unusual) individuals.

Art attracts all kinds. Misfits, flakes, dilettantes.

Also focused, committed, insightful.

Any one of the classes I taught could have had its story made into a film.

Invariably, there was both drama and conflict.

Because art is a subjective experience, students often distrust their grades.

Low grades were generally a result of absences, failures to complete projects, or drawing a shoe when the assignment was to draw a fish.

But taking personal responsibility for a low grade requires an ability to be honest some don’t have until later on.

“I realize now the grade you gave me was deserved. Sorry I stuck a screwdriver in your tire, Mr. Smith.”

The subjectivity I refer to doesn’t

occur in math classes.

Two plus two always equal four.

If a student answers “Nine,” well, they’re wrong.

How can one drawing of an apple be better than another? Trust me, it can.

Many of the emails I’ve received have been heartwarming. I am, despite a contrary illusion, a sentimentalist.

Some messages are comical, some poignant.

“My husband and I stay together for the kids, I have been vaccinated, but he refuses, the dog is incontinent, I haven’t picked up a drawing pencil since your class, goodbye.”

“You always played music while we were drawing. I heard a song today you used to play. It brought back some good memories.”

Perhaps that’s why I have been hearing from people out of the blue: good memories.

Since, oh, 2016, the scrapbook has not been filled with jollity.

Unless you are The Amazing Criswell it’s impossible to remember the future.

Sometimes it’s difficult to remem-

ber what I had for breakfast.

But somewhere in the brain’s reliquary are enduring memories.

I’ve been reminiscing about Little League baseball. My dental assistant’s son is 8. He’s playing T-ball.

I played T-ball when I was 8. The following year we had pitchers on the mound.

My team was unbeaten for two years.

I still have my glove. It’s my “Rosebud,” if you get the film reference.

After Little League, Life came along.

The internet makes these reunions much easier than they once were.

You can find almost anyone now, unless they have changed their name.

There’s an artist named Grow Love. Her name used to be Robyn Frances. If you’re looking for Robyn Frances, look for Grow Love instead.

Experiencing life’s abundance

O

ne of the bigger misconceptions and mistakes I see or hear is around abundance.

For some reason, many of us immediately associate abundance WINNING with money. And WORDS although having an abundance of money rarely hurts us, having an abundance of other more important things in life usually always helps us. And if we are abundantly blessed Michael Norton with good things, sometimes we need to appreciate the abundance of troubles that come our way as well.

Experiencing abundance may begin right here with this quote by Zig Ziglar, “You can have everything in life that you want, if you will just help enough other people get what they want.”

Let’s start by talking about those other things in life outside of money, that when we have them in abundance, can make such a huge difference.

Appreciation is first. I have a few

friends that I stay connected to each day by phone, email, or text. And one thing we talk about most is our gratitude bucket. The more we show appreciation for what we have today, the more we will have to be grateful for tomorrow.

Building others up is an absolute key to finding abundance. The more we can provide others with a little hope and encouragement, and help them to increase in their own abundance, the more that we become blessed and enriched ourselves.

Unconditional love and forgiveness might just be the most powerful and best-kept secret ingredient when it comes to abundance. When we can demonstrate this trait and make it a core value, it is a gamechanger.

Needs of others. When we put others above ourselves, focusing on what they need most, and do whatever we can that is within our ability to help, it will be one of the more rewarding feelings that we can experience in life.

Daring to be different in a world that is “me” focused instead of “we” focused. Daring to be an agent of change in a world of conformity.

to be a difference-maker in turn, makes all the difference.

Asking for what we want in life always pays off. The old saying is true, “If you don’t ask, you don’t get.” People may never know, even our closest friends and family, that we are in need unless we ask for assistance. And when we do, I have found that someone is always there ready to help.

New relationships, innovative ideas, and keeping things fresh will keep us on our toes. When we look for the newness in the world around us, our creativity increases and our inspiration flourishes, and when that happens abundance abounds.

Celebrate the wins and the losses in life. There is nothing so big that happens along life’s journey where we couldn’t celebrate it more; nothing so small or insignificant occurs that we shouldn’t celebrate it with utter joy and enthusiasm.

Elevate effort. Hope and motivation alone will never help us achieve our goals and realize our dreams.

But when we elevate our effort and apply action, we begin to rise above the noise of negativity that may be going on inside our own heads. That voice that says, “No, you can’t.” We

can suppress those voices by taking the initiative and steps necessary to find whatever results and success we are striving for.

You may have picked up on this by now, but the first letter of the first word in each paragraph above beginning with appreciation and ending with elevate, spells abundance. This has been my personal formula for experiencing abundance in each area of life. I actively seek to help others find abundance in mind, body, and spirit. Here’s the recap.

Appreciation; Building; Unconditional; Needs; Daring; Asking; New; Celebrate; Elevate.

Is abundance available to everyone but you? Do you sometimes get hung up on confusing abundance only with money? I would love to hear your story of abundance at mnorton@tramazing.com, and when we can learn to seek and experience abundance in every area of life, it really will be a better than good year.

The union represents more than 2,000 custodial workers in Colorado.

the June 15 event.

SEIU Local 105 represents more than 8,000 people who are employed in healthcare, janitorial, security and airports throughout Colorado and the southwest U.S. The union consists of 2 million people throughout the U.S., Canada and Puerto Rico, states the SEIU website.

Contract negotiations — with more than 80 cleaning contractors from across the metro area — take place every four years, said David Fernandez, a spokesperson for SEIU Local 105.

The scheduled negotiation last year fell in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic so a contract extension was secured. The extension expires at the end of July, and the next round of negotiations is scheduled to begin by the end of June, Fernandez said.

Throughout the past year, Denver’s janitors have reported cut hours — subsequently, decreased paychecks — and staffing shortages, along with increased workloads, as the buildings still had to be maintained and cleaned at the same levels, Fernandez said.

“This left, for example, some downtown buildings with a skeleton crew of about three janitors cleaning the square-foot equivalent of 54 houses per person,” Fernandez said. “Now as more people return to

“As we look ahead to the return of normal in-hall operations, we’re excited to build on the successes we’ve enjoyed over the past decade by coming out of this pandemic with renewed energy and purpose,” said Anthony Pierce, the orcheshtra’s chief artistic officer. “This season will be a true celebration for our musicians and patrons alike, . providing live symphonic music and shared concert experiences that will be thrilling for people of all ages.”

the office for work, these shortages in staffing and increased workload have not changed.”

Along with addressing cut hours and staffing shortages, wage increases that match cost of living increases will be a topic in contract negotiations along with guaranteed sick leave.

“Currently, janitors have won vacation time as part of their contract, but do not have specific language guaranteeing sick leave outside of what the state requires,” Fernandez said. “As essential workers, they want to be ready for the next possible pandemic with the guarantee of having time to see a doctor when they are sick.”

Community invited to attend concerts in the park this summer

BY CHRISTY STEADMAN CSTEADMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

T

he sun sets over a beautifully landscaped park in Denver on a warm summer night.

Families spread blankets on the grass and start unpacking picnicstyle dinners. Neighbors sit on lowback lawn chairs in small groups, chatting about local goings-on. A cyclist pauses for a few moments to listen to the sounds from the stage.

Children happily dance to the music of the Denver Municipal Band.

“These evenings in Denver turn into a wonderous time,” said Bob Shaklee, a longtime Denver resident.

“It just becomes magical.”

The Denver Municipal Band recently announced it will be performing a regular concert series this summer, which includes a number of free concerts in city parks across Denver.

“What we like about it (attending Denver Municipal Band concerts) is that it’s a great way to build community within the city,” said Barb Shaklee. She and her husband, Bob Shaklee, have served on the Denver Municipal Band’s board since the mid-1980s.

The Denver Municipal Band has been part of the city’s fabric for about 160 years. It formed when people were coming to take “a shot at finding silver and gold in the mountains,” said Joseph Martin, the Denver Municipal Band’s conductor, executive director and artistic director. Martin, a trombone player and professor at the University of Denver, has been involved with the Denver Municipal Band for about 22 years.

Having earned the accolade of being the longest, continually performing band in the U.S., it got its start in 1861 as the Denver City Band to bring culture to the Wild West city of Denver. About 30 years later, the city of Denver guaranteed funding for the band to perform regularly at city ceremonies and summer park concerts, and the band changed its name to the Denver Municipal Band.

In the mid-1980s, the city faced a budget shortfall, so in 1985, the Denver Municipal Band became a nonprofit and formed its board, which consists of volunteers, the Shaklees said.

Barb Shaklee is a pianist, but using her background in law — she is a retired attorney — she helped with the legal filings for the nonprofit. Bob Shaklee “only plays the radio,” he said, but has always been a music fan and feels it’s important for all to be able to experience the joy of music.

Today, the Denver Municipal Band collectively consists of a number of bands — the 40-piece Concert Band, the 20-piece Jazz Band, the eightperson Show Band and a combina-

The band members are professional and include the Denver-metro’s top-of-the-line musicians, Martin said. In fact, many also play with other well-known ensembles such as the Colorado Symphony, the Colorado Ballet Orchestra, Central City Opera, Denver Brass and the Queen City Jazz Band.

The Denver Municipal Band continues to be the cornerstone for major city celebrations, Martin said.

Staying true to its original mission of providing free access to live music for all, the Denver Municipal Band performs all over Denver, and its suburb cities, at all sorts of events.

One can see the Denver Municipal Band at the Five Points Jazz Festival, Littleton’s Western Welcome Week, northeast Denver’s Taste of Ethiopia and the Westminster Latino Festival, to name a few.

These are not to mention the hundreds, if not thousands, of free concert-in-the-park events that have taken place through the years.

“We’re here for the people of Denver,” Martin said. “This music, of the highest quality, is here for everybody. It’s who we are as Denverites.”

Equity, and being able to share music with all, is important to the organization, he added.

“Music has the power to bring in issues of social justice,” Martin said, “and be a vehicle to open up those conversations of moving forward as a community.”

The Denver Municipal Band did not have the large-gathering concert in the park events in 2020, but it continued provide music to local communities. For example, small groups of musicians would perform — socially-distanced and unannounced to the general public — in parking lots of nursing homes, and the facility would air the music through its PA system for its residents.

Though all the Denver Municipal Bands make their way around the city for free concerts, the mainstay band is probably the Concert Band.

The Concert Band performs a variety of music that appeals to a broad audience — Broadway tunes, jazz/swing, patriotic music and marches, and movie themes, for example. This year, the Concert Band has something special in store for concert-goers, said Dan Leavitt, the principal trumpet player for the Concert Band who also serves as the Denver Municipal Band’s manager,

and director of the Jazz Band, Show Band and brass quintet.

New this summer, Leavitt said, the Concert Band will feature the music of James Reese Europe, who helped form the Clef Club — a union of African American musicians — and was the first African American to conduct at Carnegie Hall in New York City with the Clef Club orchestra, Leavitt said. Europe, who lived from 1881 to 1919, is “extremely important to the history of American music transitioning from ragtime to swing and jazz,” Leavitt said.

But his music has been lost for about 100 years, Leavitt said, adding that arranging Europe’s music is a project that he had been wanting to do for a long time. Leavitt was finally able to dedicate more time to it during the COVID-19 shutdowns, he said.

Music brings people together, enriches peoples’ lives and has the ability to engage people in culture — that of their own, and introduce them to other cultures that exist nearby, Leavitt said.

“We’ve been doing this for over 150 years. It’s a strong tradition long supported by the (Denver) mayor and parks and rec,” Leavitt said.

“Music, and art in general, can define a culture. The more people who participate in music, the richer the whole culture is.”
