Englewood police shot and killed a 22-year-old man accused of dragging three officers with a stolen car at the Kimberly Woods apartment complex in northeast Englewood on May 18, according to a news release.

Police contacted a stolen vehicle at the apartment complex at Lafayette Street and Girard Avenue about 10:19 a.m., according to the release.

As uniformed officers attempted to contact the driver, he struck three officers with the vehicle and dragged them before being shot by police. A female passenger in the car was taken into custody.

Three officers and the suspect were taken to a hospital, where the suspect was pronounced dead.

The suspect was later identified as Caleb Grisenti, whose listed address was a criminal corrections facility in Lakewood. A search of Grisenti’s criminal record shows multiple convictions for car theft, vehicular eluding and theft.

The 18th Judicial District’s Critical Incident Response Team will conduct an investigation into the use of force per protocol, according to the release.

Western Slope still stuck in drought Drastic cutbacks planned in planting, grazing because of low snowpack

BY MICHAEL BOOTH AND ZACH BRIGHT THE COLORADO SUN

The Ute Mountain Ute Reservation sits at the lower end of a 40-mile, gravity-fed canal, and waits for whatever water the towering San Juan mountains will give up for the season.

By the second week of May, it was clear 2021 will be a bust. The Utes’ farm enterprise has already switched to hopes for next year and fervent wishes that the hot winds and wildfires won’t do too much damage before then.

Simon Martinez oversees thousands of acres of alfalfa hay and specialty corn for the Ute Mountain Ute Farm and Ranch Enterprise, 400 miles from wellwatered Denver. In a normal year, 25,000 acre-feet of water come down the canal from McPhee Reservoir to irrigate Ute crops.

This year, the Utes’ junior water right will get them only 2,500 acrefeet from fast-draining McPhee.

Late in last summer’s drought, the Dolores River reservoir hit dead pool, meaning there wasn’t enough water to spin hydroelectric turbines and generate electricity for the Four Corners region. River outflows from

the dam this summer are likely to hit record lows, and downstream fish will die.

Martinez and 20 Ute employees, half the number of a normal year, will grow crops on only one-tenth their usual alfalfa and corn acreage as the devastating Western Colorado drought drags on.

“So we’re feeling it this year,”

Martinez said. “It’s basically been two years, and we hope for there not being a third.”

Colorado’s historic tendency to move water to where people need it has numbed city dwellers to the plight of places currently not getting enough. Denver is nearing its total precipitation for all 12 months of 2020 in just the

first five months of 2021, 9News meteorologist Chris Bianchi said.

rom Larimer Square to the Red Rocks Amphitheatre, Denver is truly a great place to call home and enjoy retirement.

With the Rockies at your doorstep, there are virtually unlimited opportunities for adventure. Denver is also No. 3 on the list of America’s Best Cities* for a Healthy (and More Affordable Retirement).

What you may not know is a reverse mortgage loan from AAG may help you get even more out of your retirement.

A reverse mortgage is simply a way for you to convert some of your built-up home equity into cash for your retirement — cash to pay off large bills or high-interest credit card debt, make home improvements, cover medical expenses, build a bigger rainy-day fund, or simply get out and enjoy more of the Mile High City.

If you choose, you can wait to repay your loan when you permanently leave your home. Although a reverse mortgage requires no monthly mortgage payments, you are still responsible for paying for the maintenance of your home, property taxes, homeowners insurance, and, if required, HOA fees.

“Working with Jarred Talmadge and AAG was a very nice experience,” said AAG customer Angela Pendergraft. “No pressure or feelings of anxiety. He answered all our questions and concerns leaving us feeling comfortable with our decision to do a reverse mortgage.”

If you want to learn how a reverse mortgage can specifically improve your retirement, AAG Market Sales Manager Jarred Talmadge, NMLS# 1842043, and his team are ready to assist you.

Former teacher at youth jail sentenced for sex assault Maggie Christine Stastny gets seven years for relationship with underage inmate

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A woman who taught at a youth detention center in Centennial and was arrested in 2019 on suspicion of engaging in a sexual relationship with an underage inmate pleaded guilty in March and received a seven-year sentence this month.

Maggie Christine Stastny was 32 around the time of her September 2019 arrest on a charge of sexual assault on a child by a person in a position of trust, according to a news release from the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office at the time.

The assault allegedly occurred earlier that year at the Marvin W. Foote Youth Services Center, at 13500 E. Fremont Place, the release said.

Stastny was a Cherry Creek School District employee assigned to teach at the center, according to the release. The district provides licensed teaching staff for youths in the facility, according to the center’s website. The sheriff’s office did not release the inmate’s age at the time of the arrest.

DROUGHT FROM PAGE 2

But snowpack meant to slake the Utes and other farmers and ranchers and towns in the Four Corners is at 36%. And it’s disappearing fast.

The U.S. Drought Monitor reported that 13% of the state, mostly in the highly populated northeast, had some relief from long-term drought in the past month, just weeks after the same map showed abnormally dry or drought conditions plaguing the entire state. Officials from Denver Water said storage levels for reservoirs fed largely by the South Platte and Fraser River basins are near normal, at 80% capacity compared to the typical 82%.

However, 75% of the state remains in drought and western Colorado is experiencing the worst of it, said Becky Bolinger, assistant state climatologist at Colorado State University. The western half of the state didn’t get the snowpack it needed to in colder months, and likely won’t make up those deficits in summer monsoons. Coupled with a high melt rate over dry soils that must be hydrated before water can make its way to bodies of water, that means not enough water makes it downhill to reservoirs.

“It peaked too early, it peaked too low, and nothing has been really

In May 2019, Stastny met with an inmate in a living area for a group of youths, and a Colorado Department of Human Services employee observed the interaction and confronted the teacher, according to that department. The employee reported the interaction to Foote center administration.

The next day, the school district placed Stastny on administrative leave, according to the department.

The inmate was released later that May. Months later, additional information was learned that Stastny had reached out to staff and had admitted to having a sexual relationship with the inmate, according to the department.

“CDHS staff at the center acted quickly and appropriately to the May 8 suspicions as well as when further information came forward on Aug. 15,” the department said in a statement at the time. The department said it “is grateful for the work” of the sheriff’s office, the Arapahoe County Human Services Department and the school district in response to the information provided to them by CDHS, the statement added.

Stastny was sentenced on May 10 this year. She pleaded guilty March 1 to one count of sexual exploitation of a child, and other counts against her were dismissed as part of the plea deal, according to the 18th Judicial District Attorney’s Office.

slowing that melt rate,” Bolinger said. “So those areas are likely to completely be melted out of snowpack before early June.”

“It’s going to be a rough summer, I believe, for a lot of farmers and ranchers on the West Slope.”

Much of the northeastern portion of the state is greening up this spring in just the way farmers and ranchers look for.

Some of the northeast and central regions beyond Denver, where everything from sugar beets and wheat to cattle and hay fodder are raised, enjoyed the same weekly rains and September to May snows as the Front Range.

“May is largely turning out the way we would expect for northeastern Colorado,” Bolinger said. “That is climatologically our wettest month of the year.”

Bolinger said that the big precipitation on the Front Range is slowly helping the region climb out of a Front Range drought lasting since at least last summer, with “good, consistent shots of moisture in March and April and into May” that are expected to continue.

“For two-thirds, three-quarters of the population of the state, what they see outside the window is promising, is good,” said Bianchi.

Polis signs $34 billion state budget into law Plan sets aside historic reserves

BY JESSE PAUL THE COLORADO SUN

Gov. Jared Polis signed Colorado’s $34.1 billion fiscal year 2021-22 budget into law on May 17, restoring cuts made as the coronavirus crisis descended on the state last year while also saving a historic amount for future economic downturns.

The Joint Budget Committee, the Legislature’s budget-writing panel, had to contend with constantly changing tax-revenue projections that were made uncertain by the pandemic.

“This is the culmination of a yearlong process — and it’s always hard. But this is the hardest it’s ever been because of the changing numbers,” Polis said just before signing Senate Bill 205 at the Capitol.

The budget takes effect in July, when the next fiscal year begins. It sets aside more than $1.5 billion for Colorado’s reserve fund that can be tapped by future Legislatures. It also includes 3% raises for state employees, $480 million to reduce Colorado’s annual K-12 school funding shortfall and a $20 million line item to create hundreds of new around-the-clock care slots

million for a state coronavirus stimulus package, the largest slice of which is being dedicated to infrastructure projects. Bills that are part of the package were still being debated in the Legislature.

The governor called the budget “an investment in our children, an investment in our future.”

State Sen. Dominick Moreno, a Commerce City Democrat who leads the Joint Budget Committee, marveled at the difference a year has made in the state’s budget situation. His panel went from having to make tearful cuts to having enough money to pay for new programs and initiatives.

“There is so much good in this budget that will help Colorado recover,” Moreno said.

State Rep. Julie McCluskie, a Dillon Democrat who is vice chair of the panel, highlighted spending in the budget around wildfire preparedness and response.

“We are going to make sure that we are ready for this year’s wildfire season,” she said.

State lawmakers had far more money to spend next year than expected because the pandemic’s toll on Colorado’s economy wasn’t as bad as the state’s fiscal analysts feared. The budget represents $3.8 billion more in spending over the current fiscal year. Much of the windfall represents unspent tax revenue, not future revenue.

As the budget was debated in the Legislature, lawmakers made a number of changes to the document first drafted by the Joint Budget Committee. The ones that made it into the final version include: • $1 million more for body camera expenses for local law enforcement agencies, bringing the total to $4 million

PHOTO BY JESSE PAUL/THE COLORADO SUN

• $1 million for the School Bullying Prevention and Education Cash Fund • $250,000 for the Suicide Prevention Program • $1.1 million in general fund dollars for reintroduction of gray wolves • $125,000 to hire a chief educational equity officer in the Colorado Department of Human Services The changes resulted in a smaller amount — 13.41% of the budget instead of 13.5% — being set aside in the reserve fund. The Joint Budget Committee initially wanted $1.75 billion to be put in the savings account, but that number was reduced to about $1.5 billion to balance out the changes requested by other lawmakers.

The budget does not include $3.8 billion in federal coronavirus stimulus money heading to Colorado as part of the American Rescue Plan. That money will be distributed by the Legislature separately. Lawmakers and nonpartisan staff are still working to determine the rules around how that money can be used.

Sen. Bob Rankin, one of two Republicans on the budget committee, praised Moreno for how he ran the budget process. But he noted that the panel’s work isn’t done.

“The task ahead of us is almost as hard,” said Rankin, who lives in Carbondale. “We literally have $4 billion (to determine how to spend). So the work is not over.”

‘We did it together’ Littleton High School graduates bid farewell to high school and beloved principal

ittleton High School’s class of 2021 share a bond forged in good times and bad.

The pandemic robbed the seniors of any number of milestones, from homecoming to prom, but they met the challenge with good humor.

“Everything we accomplished, we did together,” said student body president Samantha Hernandez to her classmates.

The graduation was the last for Principal Dr. Amy Oaks, who is retiring after a decade at the helm of the school.

“It doesn’t get any better than us,” Hernandez said.

“That’s why Dr. Oaks is retiring. She might as well go out on top.”

Young muralists paint ‘brightness and hope’ Englewood Schools art students beautify neglected stretch along creek

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Englewood got a bit brighter this spring as Emily Ancona’s art students livened up a drab stretch of Little Dry Creek with a sprawling mural — the latest in a series of art projects around town led by the Englewood High School art teacher.

The new mural adorns a retaining wall along the final stretch of Little Dry Creek before it joins the South Platte River, along a stretch of busy highway sandwiched between mobile home parks and industrial uses.

The mural incorporates brainstorms from Ancona’s students, featuring everything from king-size toadstools to mountain sunsets to top hat-festooned mallards.

“I hope it brings brightness and hope for the future,” Ancona said.

“Any art we can put up that reflects the individuals in our community is a good thing.”

Ancona partnered with the Museum of Outdoor Arts, which bankrolled the project — the latest in a series of collaborations with the museum that have seen the teacher and her students paint

Ancona said the idea to paint the retaining wall came from a local resident who said it was crying out

for art.

From there, the community came together.

She was joined by Englewood Middle School art teacher Erin

Rademacher, who helped plan and implement the mural. City officials quickly greenlighted the project.

VOICES

Some words are great, and others just grate

“S

o,” “listen,” “to be honest,” “at the end of the day,” “it is what it is,” “like,” “literally,”

“right?”

An April column QUIET invited readers to nominate words DESPERATION and phrases that should be banned for overuse, misuse, or uselessness.

The response was far greater than I anticipated.

Why we are often careless when communicating is Craig Marshall a topic for another Smith column. Someone I know says “At any rate” without knowing she’s saying it.

The usual suspects - including “usual suspects” - were nominated.

The one syllable word that has topped every one of these annual lists made it there again.

An expletive the writer admitted is here to stay was nominated for the first time. Take a guess.

Many of this year’s words were pandemic-related and should go away once the coast is clear.

“Social distancing,” “unprecedented, “new normal,” and “we’re all in this together.”

“Have a nice day,” the young woman repeats with the sincerity of a torpid parrot to every customer, never once something else more interesting or thoughtful she could say.

A variant, submitted by Lindi Brubaker (Highlands Ranch), is even more unwelcome.

“Have a nice rest of the day.”

Don’t begin a comment with “To be honest,” wrote Bob Marttila (Highlands Ranch) who added, “The person who uses `To be honest’ may not have been honest in the past and may not be in the future.”

“No worries.” “No problem.” “My bad.” “This too shall pass.”

“Kiddos.” “You guys.” “Dude.”

“Icon” and “iconic.” “Robust.”

Some readers didn’t explain themselves; others went into great detail.

Mike Dabney (Highlands Ranch): “Stakeholder.” Sharene Schmalz (Cincinnati, Ohio): “Frankly.” R. Johnson (Englewood): “Arguably.”

On the other hand, Tom Kocialski (Centennial) submitted a dissertation, edited here, on “systemic.”

“It may be just me, but I prefer to use the word `systemic’ in a biological sense as associated with a system within the human body, or a root system of a plant. I would prefer to use the word `systematic’ to relate to processes that are implemented by a system.”

Terry Gong (Arvada): “How was your weekend?” coming from an employee who asks inappropriate personal questions.

Kalvin Huck (Arvada): “Having said that” and “That being said.”

The all-time loser lost again.

“Like.”

A Castle Rock reader who wants to remain anonymous stated, “It’s an indication that the speaker is lazy-minded and is resorting to empty equivocations. It undermines whatever they are trying to say. I stop listening.”

I like it like that.

Pat Olson (Centennial) wrote, “Last week I was at the dog park and listened to a lady say `like’ every 10 words.”

Douglas Wolf (Wellington, Florida; yes, Florida) agrees with Olson.

“Increasingly, its use has permeated the conversation of those who are old enough to know better.”

Elizabeth No Last Name (Golden) submitted, “To make a long story short,” and added, “My husband uses it many times a day. Just tell your information, please. It doesn’t make you look smarter or more knowledgeable to begin with that annoying phrase.”

(Good luck at home, Elizabeth, after your husband reads this.)

P. Hudson (Centennial), proposed a word I’m unable to mention, except in its sanitized form.

“I think screenwriters must be paid by the ‘f-word.’ None of my friends is as profane as the characters in contemporary movies.”

He added, “If Martin Scorsese remade ‘On the Waterfront’ it would burn your ears off.”

(Note: it’s spoken 506 times in Scorsese’s “The Wolf of Wall Street.”)

Martin Culpepper (location unknown), being impertinent, nominated “every word in your article.”

“Go figure.”

Bigger, better, faster, higher, smarter

S

ociety thrives on oneupmanship. In everything we do, whether we realize it or not, we set a bar. And as we set the bar, more WINNING often than not, we try and improve WORDS upon whatever it is we are doing.

Sometimes this just happens and we become accidental goal setters.

However, there are certain things and times in our life when we become Michael Norton intentional about setting the bar and even raising the bar.

Whatever it is we did, we know that with some extra effort we can do it bigger, better, faster, higher, or farther. If we are a hardwired competitor, we look at what others around us are doing and immediately think the same thing, don’t we? If they can do it, then I am sure I can crush it. Does this happen because we are fascinated with winning or because we are

compelled by competition?

Game on. The race is on. The heat is on. Bring it on. These are the things we say or the voice that we hear in our head when we are faced with a challenge, even if the challenge is self-imposed.

Conceivably there is no competition because the other person, team, or company has no idea that we have become determined, and have set out to not only raise the bar but raise it so high that no one will ever catch us.

Sometimes this is exactly what we need to break out of a slump or reignite our passion. We need something to chase. We need a goal, a quota, or a target that forces us out of our comfort zone and into our “Go Zone” so we can go bigger, better, faster, higher, farther in whatever it is we are pursuing.

Then again, sometimes it’s OK to let others go ahead, and go as far and as fast as they please. Last week I was driving on the highway and staying in the flow of traffic when I looked in the rearview mirror to see another car bobbing and weaving through traffic. He flew

by me doing at least 15-20 miles per hour faster than the rest of us.

However, competition does seem to get the better of us sometimes, and suddenly, a few other cars picked up the pace, trying to match the speed of the lead car.

There was a time in my life where I would have felt that same pull and let my pride get the better of me. Thankfully, the wisdom of maturity has conquered my foolish pride and I sat back and let them all pass. As we rounded the next bend, there were a few state troopers waving the drivers over to the side of the road. There was no moment spent gloating over their demise as I have had my share of speeding tickets in this life. In this case it was better to let others go faster.

Continuing my drive, it gave me time to reflect on the bigger, better, faster, higher, and farther concept. I thought about the many times that I had said, “I can do that better than they can. I can go bigger than that.” And once again it humbled me because over the years, I have learned that there is always

someone or something bigger, better, smarter, and faster than me. Rushing into competing is the equivalent of taking a “Fire, Aim, Ready” approach. On one hand it is great to be motivated to pursue a goal or target. On the other hand, sometimes prudence really is the better part of valor.

Friendly Colorado? We’ve got to stop harming each other

N

ot sure if everyone has noticed, but our Colorado community is suffering right now. I don’t mean from the onceGUEST again increasing casualties of COLUMN COVID-19 or the not-quick-enough economic recovery.

I’m not talking about the students, parents, or teachers struggling to keep it together till school ends this year. Those Linda Newell are too obvious.

Instead, I’m highlighting that even as those current issues start to resolve, there’s another hidden issue that is holding our community back from the pursuit of happiness that allegedly we’re all supposed to have in this country. It’s empathic awareness; an ability to act and respond with dignity with our fellow humans.

Historically and recently in our state, we have seen Coloradans

harming others, sometimes, completely unaware that they are.

This does not include clear acts of hatred or violence like abuse, murder, or rape (which we’ve had our share of, unfortunately). This lack of sensitivity or empathy is more insidious and silent in the ways that it shows up.

In Colorado, this state legislative session is an unfortunate example of legislators making hateful comments about their colleagues on the floor, at the mic being recorded in full public view.

However, some people watching, and even the speakers themselves occasionally, are clueless about the harm they create. Sadly, there have been “jokes” about lynchings, a discussion of the three-fifths of a person, and the mention of the term “sissy” all within this 2021 session in the House. Recently, our own local state Rep. David Ortiz was the subject of a clueless colleague’s derogatory comment. Our public servants are supposed to be leaders not only in policy but also

in camaraderie and civility. They are people we elect to show us the way in how to bring neighbors together and build community.

On top of all this at the state level, we recently witnessed one of our members of Congress from Colorado vote against a federal hate crimes bill intended to counter the rise of anti-Asian violence during the pandemic.

State Rep. Lauren Boebert was the only member of the Colorado delegation to vote against it. Does she not understand the harm she is causing fellow Coloradans with that vote? We have a torrid history of Asian oppression with internment camps right in our own state. This is a deep wound that she cut and re-opened again for our Asian Coloradans.

For those of us who are not in office, we also need to be more aware and empathic when we post on social media or interact with our neighbors in the community.

I’m truly not sure we can do much about people who are blatantly bigoted. But if you claim you are

“not racist,” then please watch your words and actions with your neighbors. It is often said Colorado is a friendly state. We need to remember that no matter possible “good intent” of our words and actions, the impact can never be taken back. What might seem small to one person, might be deeply traumatizing to another.

We can do better, Colorado.

Let’s prove that to be true by not causing harm to each other (whether it’s intentional or not).

For resources in preventing emotional harm and improving awareness and empathy, please feel free to reach out to me.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR End loopholes for ultra-rich No matter what we look like, where we come from, or how we make a living, most of us do our best to care for our families and communities. But today a handful of corporations undermine all of us by taking advantage of tax loopholes and refusing to contribute what they owe. These corporations and the ultra-rich continue to hoard their wealth while many working people are underpaid, and small businesses struggle to recover from the pandemic.

It’s important to center policies around the families, working people, and small business owners who are the backbone of our healthy, thriving communities. Colorado legislators are currently considering a package of legislation designed to make our tax code fairer by closing loopholes that benefit only a small number of wealthy people and big corporations. HB211311 and HB21-1312 will expand the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC), fund a statewide Child Tax Credit (CTC), support small businesses, and ensure the ultrawealthy contribute what they owe.

When we go all in for all of us, we can make Colorado a place we’re proud to call home with world-class community services, thriving families, and flourishing small businesses. Let’s choose Coloradans over corporations: contact your legislators and tell them to support HB21-1311 and HB21-1312.

John Paul Marosy Littleton

Scenario was scare mongering This is in response to the author of the “Super Dad” letter.

Please stay in your basement with a mask, goggles, face shield, binky and blanket. No one, you or the government, should tell us how to live our lives. There is something called the Constitution that provides for liberty and freedom.

Face masks are not the cure-all.

One of the largest studies on the efficacy of face masks, published in the Annals of Internal Medicine, provided the following results. A study of 4,800 subjects (2,400 with masks and 2,400 without masks) found only .3% higher infection rate by unmasked versus masked.

Blue masks available at grocery stores are often sterilized with ethylene oxide, which is a known carcinogen. Breathing is inhibited, and inhaling particles, which comes from mask wearing can put you at risk for lung diseases including pulmonary fibrosis. All of this information was included in an article written

by Conan Milner.

Keep wearing your mask, it is especially effective when driving alone. Oh, I bet you don’t drive.

Automobile accidents account for 1.25 million fatalities per year, so I’m sure you avoid that too.

Freedom and liberty, rather than playing the role of a sheep to the government is very important. We all die of something. Enjoy life.

That letter, in my opinion, was a childish bunch of scare mongering.

Mount-aining social distance on trails

A group of friends pose for a photo along a trail in Boulder’s Open Space and Mountain Parks.

With many mask mandates lifted statewide, public health officials urge caution outdoors

BY RYAN DUNN RDUNN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

W

ith many Denver metro counties moving to “level clear” and Colorado ending its statewide mask mandate, the era of coronavirus restrictions seems to be coming to a close. Nevertheless, local public health officials urged caution when asked how to properly practice trail etiquette in a summer that will still feature the lingering effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Outdoor mask mandates have seen rollbacks for months, with Jefferson County Public Health and Tri-County Public Health — which covers Adams, Arapahoe and Douglas counties — lifting their outdoor mask mandates on April 5 and Boulder County following suit on April 9. A statewide executive order was amended on May 14 to allow fully SEE TRAILS, P15

vaccinated people to go outdoors without wearing masks.

Nevertheless, many public health officials are urging caution when visiting trails and open spaces in the coming weeks. The pandemic is far from over in Colorado, which on May 18 reported a case rate of 20 per 100,000 people — the highest in the U.S. at the time of the report.

Jefferson County Public Health Public Affairs Manager Ashley Sever said that despite the move to “level clear,” JCPH was still recommending that people wear masks if they’re in large crowds or uncertain of the vaccination status of those around them.

“We’ve moved to level clear,” said Sever. “We still recommend when anybody is around people who don’t have a good vaccination status, if they don’t know, or if they know they’re unvaccinated or in larger crowds, things like that, we certainly want people to continue to take prevention measures.”

Dr. Bernadette Albanese, an epidemiologist with Tri-County Health Department, added that while getting a vaccine is likely the best thing to do to avoid getting sick, there are increased risk factors when in heavily trafficked public spaces that would compel mask wearing.

“Getting a vaccine is probably the number one thing you can do to keep healthy,” said Albanese.

“When you’re outdoors with a lot of people you don’t know — you don’t know their infection status — and you want to put yourself in the best position to remain healthy, how about a mask?

“I don’t think it’s hard to do,” Albanese continued. “And it’ll

protect you. And also protect others.”

Sever added that some examples of high-risk situations could include being outdoors with people who are being boisterous or have recently vacationed.

“When you’re in a higher-risk scenario,” said Sever, “like with someone who recently vacationed, or if people are yelling or screaming or singing and you’re in closer proximity with those people, that’s another reason to wear a mask outdoors. It’s in those higherrisk scenarios where wearing a mask outdoors is still probably a good idea.”

Enessa Janes, Arvada’s deputy director of the Department of Vibrant Communities and Neighborhoods, said that she recommended people continue wearing masks and practice social distancing in parks and on trails, despite the change to “level clear”.

Janes added that in situations where it is impossible to socially distance, using one’s best judgment should suffice.

“For our part we’re really encouraging people to continue to use (masks),” said Janes, “and to follow CDC guidelines and not visit the parks if they’re feeling sick.

“There will probably be situations where you can’t always keep six feet social distancing with passing,” Janes continued.

“In those cases, step off the trail if you need to, but please don’t step off so far that you disturb the natural environment or disrupt the habitat. Just be as respectful to other walkers and hikers as possible.”

Janes added that she anticipated continued high usage of open spaces, and thanked the maintenance teams that have been working to keep public parks clean throughout the pandemic.

“Our trails and parks have gotten so much use over the course of the pandemic,” said Janes,” and can continue to get that use because of how hard our teams have been

working to keep the parks looking clean and ready for increased use.

We’re really anticipating the same level of use this summer — if not more.”

Englewood High School art teacher Emily Ancona, left, and Englewood Middle School art teacher Erin Rademacher pose in front of the new mural they helped design and COURTESY PHOTOS implement along Little Dry Creek.

MURALISTS FROM PAGE 6

Chiles Friedman, Englewood’s 2020 Citizen of the Year, helped clean up trash to prepare the site.

Gallegos Corp., a stone masonry business around the corner, set up temporarary scaffolding for students to use as a bridge to cross the creek. Artist Amanda Wolf helped plan the project.

But the creative impulse came mostly from Englewood’s students.

“I’m proud of us,” said Ally Garcia, a sophomore who took part in the painting. “Our ideas got distributed really well, and it was great watching the mural come to life.”

Garcia said she lives on what she calls Englewood’s “outskirts” — the

northwest corner, cut off from the heart of town, and she was glad to see some beautification in the sometimes-overlooked corridor.

She also said she’s grateful for her art teacher.

“She’s my favorite person in the world,” Garcia said of Ancona.

“She’s really open and honest. She makes people comfortable. I love art — it’s what I do all day, and she pushes me to be a better artist.”

Ancona, who grew up in Englewood and was a 2006 graduate of the school where she now teaches, said she’s thrilled to take part in prettying up her hometown.

“Englewood has gone through a lot of changes since I was in high school,” she said. “Downtown is livelier than I’ve ever seen it. It feels like a revival, and I’m proud we’ve been able to add some art to it.”

Renovated Marjorie Park to open near Fiddler’s Green Free, family-friendly event will be held June 12

BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Saturday, June 12 will be the opening date for a renovated Marjorie Park — on the north side of Fiddler’s Green Amphitheatre, 6331 S. Fiddlers Green Circle in Greenwood Village, and the beginning of a new story for the small green space.

It is owned by the Museum of Outdoor Arts, which was cofounded in 1981 by Marjorie P. Madden, her husband, developer John W. Madden Jr., and their daughter, Cynthia Madden Leitner, who is MOA’s president.

The timing coincides with MOA’s 40th anniversary.

Readers will be familiar with the busy MOA indoor galleries and studio at 1000 Englewood Parkway — with ongoing exhibits and classes in normal times — but may not have made the connection with this sweet spot, and with Fiddler’s Green.

MOA’s mission is “to make art a part of everyday life” and the free, family-friendly event on June 12 will run from noon to 4 p.m., with artwork walking tours, stadium grass seating, a lion’s SEE MARJORIE, P29

Hayes swims hard after pandemic year Arapahoe swimmer is headed to Division I competition at Auburn

BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Arapahoe senior Fletcher Hayes, who will be swimming at Auburn University next PHOTO BY JIM BENTON season.

Arapahoe senior swimmer Fletcher Hayes still has a positive attitude about this season despite the differences brought on by COVID concerns.

Hayes, who is headed to swim for Auburn University next season, was a participant in the 2018 boys state championships. Then he swam on two relay teams, was third in the 200 IM and the runner-up in the 500-yard freestyle in the 2019 state meet.

Swimming was canceled because of COVID in the spring of 2020.

“I do have high hopes for this season, but it is a little different because so far the plan is to have the state meet time finals, and the dual meets so far this year have been weird because they have all been virtual,” said Hayes. “I’m just glad we will have a state meet, to be honest. It’s nice being back together with the team in the pool with the coaches and everything.”

After the disappointment of last spring, Hayes is ready to make noise

this season.

“As a team we were really disappointed about the 2020 season,” said Hayes. “We had high hopes and were really excited about what we thought we could do. Then it got all taken away from us.

“As a sophomore (in 2019) I wasn’t really expecting the results that I got. My freshman year I got like eighth and sixth in both my individual events, and I was kind of expecting something the same or maybe like a fifth or fourth place. I really surprised myself (in 2019).

“It’s been nice so far this season because you can put your head down and train and not worry about anything else because you don’t have to ride a bus to another school and all that. The meets remind me of time trials because I’m racing my own teammates in my own pool, no one else is there, no fans in the stands. It’s definitely nice to have my teammates there because they help a lot. I just go with the flow during the meets.”

Arapahoe swim coach Mike Richmond doesn’t worry about how Hayes will perform.

“Fletcher Hayes is a vocal leader and outstanding senior captain as well as a high-performance competitor,” offered Richmond.

“Day after day, Fletcher’s workout SEE HAYES, P23

“Every season has been different,” he said. “I haven’t competed in some of the events yet so we really don’t know. After I swim at all the events I will be able to meet with the coaches and discuss what they think and what I think.”

MARKING UP

MARJORIE FROM PAGE 20

den sculpture walk, a delightful life-sized bronze series of “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland”

by Harry Marinsky and other permanent artworks.

These large “Alice” sculptures are inspired by John Tenniel’s original illustrations for Lewis Carroll’s classic and include a charming Mad Hatter’s Tea Party — a particular favorite with this art lover.

Drinks and food will be available for purchase from Simply Pizza Food Truck and Em’s Ice Cream.

Entertainment by DJ Walt White.

A new feature will be a labyrinthlike hardscape, designed after the seven petal vesica, in the center of the 2.1 acre park, which contains more than 40 art installations, including a lion’s den sculpture walk and a kinetic sculpture. (A vesica is a pointed oval shape.)

MOA will operate Marjorie Park with a variety of programs, including a summer concert series; a “Lunch and Learn” series, focused on artwork demonstrations and lectures; UnWine Wednesdays, a weekly fitness series; ongoing yoga classes and more.

Mountain Vista’s Caleb Brown (5) squares up with Castle View’s Nate Kirk (14).

Brown’s Golden Eagles took home a decisive 18-2 victory on May 21 at Shea PHOTO BY PAUL DISALVO Stadium to remain undefeated in season play.

Included: Lunch and Learn, with local sculptor Reven Swanson on June 14; YogaRita on June 15 and 29; a family-friendly concert series kickoff event with Stone Beat Invasion, featuring music by the Beatles and Rolling Stones on June 17; and live music by the String Bean Duo on June 23.

Throughout the month of June, programming will be free and open to the public.

Coming soon, MOA will offer regular hours and a park membership program for individuals, families, corporations, photographers and dogs, which will include free or discounted access to ongoing programs and events.

This membership will provide funding for ongoing park maintenance, art conservation and programming.

In addition, MOA will continue with its indoor galleries, art studio work, and outstanding education program, and “Design and Build,” which allows young artists to work with professionals on collaborative art projects.

MOA has a collection of more than 150 artworks, 85 of them exhibited outdoors.

(Event registration is required to maintain a safe environment: moaonline.org/events/.)

“It would cost our clients a quarter of their yearly income to paint the outside of their (houses),” said Chad Nibbelink, who runs the nonprofit’s volunteer department. That’s an “unfeasible” expense for those the program helps, he added.

The program aims to help people 60 and older on a fixed income to “age in place,” or avoid the need to move due to challenges that arise with aging. To accomplish the painting jobs, the nonprofit calls on volunteers from corporate sources, governments, nonprofits and youth organizations, such as from churches or high schools.

Dlin expressed relief that she wouldn’t have to figure out how to pay for a new paint job herself. The home’s condition “would have kept falling apart” without it, she said.

She felt “extreme gratitude for these guys to swoop in here,” Dlin said. “I usually do most of these things myself as much as I can. I want to be able to keep living here.

“Everyone should have this opportunity,” Dlin added.

Brothers Redevelopment owns and manages 16 communities across the metro area, offering 656 affordable apartments to incomequalified tenants, according to a news release. The nonprofit also provides services through other programs, including Colorado’s housing helpline, Colorado Housing

Marcie Dlin plays the piano May 21 at her Englewood home. Dlin, a self-employed teacher of piano and vocals, lost about half of her business activity due to the pandemic. The volunteer effort to paint her home was “a godsend,” Dlin said.

The three officers were treated in the hospital and released, according to Englewood Police spokesman Sgt.

Tracy Jones. All three were placed on leave following the incident pending the investigation, Jones said.

Body camera footage will not be released until all officers are interviewed by the Critical Incident Response Team.
