Speedier vaccine timeline urged Vaccines are critical to restoring in-person learning, educators say

Brauchler’s hands-on management of big cases, along with his overall approach to criminal justice in a diverse, politically divided district also forged reputations.

Douglas County School District interim Superintendent Corey Wise is urging a speedier timeline for vaccinating workers in education, but stopped short of saying whether the state’s recent pause on teacher vaccinations was the right or wrong decision.

Wise said he was an adamant advocate for moving teachers and Wise school staff further up in the state’s vaccine distribution plan. He celebrated when that happened and announced that the district expected to begin vaccinating teachers and staff the week of Jan. 4.

Then state officials told health agencies to pause vaccinating educators until people 70 and older had been inoculated. The news meant teachers may not receive shots until March. Wise hopes that changes.

Former DA George Brauchler packs up his office roughly one week before leaving office.

His time helming Colorado’s largest judicial district began and ended with shootings that horrified the nation.

Cases like those — the 2012 Aurora theater shooting and the STEM School Highlands Ranch shooting of 2019 — left former 18th Judicial District Attorney George Brauchler with memories that haunt him.

STEM School shooting trial again delayed Trial might take place outside of courtroom amid pandemic

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The forthcoming trial in the STEM School Highlands Ranch shooting case has been pushed back by months again during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Devon Erickson, 20, is now scheduled to begin trial on May 24 for his suspected role in the shooting that left senior Kendrick Castillo dead and eight more students injured.

Previous trial dates — including February, September and July trials

— were also pushed back because of COVID-19.

Erickson faces numerous charges, including felony murder, in connection with the shooting. He pleaded not guilty in January 2020. Alec McKinney, 17, pleaded guilty to similar charges in February and was sentenced to life in prison plus 38 year, with the possibility of parole after 40 years in July.

One more key logistic remains unclear: whether the trial will take place at the courthouse in Castle Rock. Amid continued social distancing requirements, the court may need to find an off-site location to accommodate pandemic restrictions, District Court Judge Theresa Slade said during a Jan. 15 hearing.

The defendant’s next court appearance will be in April, when attorneys

will gather with Slade to further discuss details of holding the proceedings during the public health crisis.

A spokeswoman for the 18th Judicial District Attorney’s Office said the district has not held hearings at another venue to date during the pandemic.

Attorneys also spent much of the Jan. 15 hearing debating whether the public defender’s office, which is representing McKinney, and the district attorney’s office could provide medical records for McKinney to Erickson’s defense attorneys, which they had subpoenaed.

Defense attorney Julia Stancil said the team is aware of roughly 2,100 pages of records provided to the prosecution by McKinney’s attorney Ara Ohanian.

The records could include in-

formation about his mental state and motive. They would also detail where he received mental health treatment or was prescribed medications, she said, arguing all was information that might aid prosecutors in preparation for trial.

“Mr. McKinney is the key and main witness against my client,” Stancil said.

Stancil said the district attorney’s office was unsure if it could provide the defense with the records because of protective order but that Slade could rule on the matter to clear way for handing over the documents.

Slade told the defense to conduct more “due diligence” and first attempt to interview Ohanian’s client or subpoena the records from the various agencies that created them.

New Town Center apartments expected to be completed by fall The affordable apartments will be limited to seniors Because of you we’re open!

COVID safety measures help us stay that way.

A new “active adult” apartment building in the Highlands Ranch Town Center is expected to be completed and ready for move-in by August.

The Shea Properties project, which began about a year and a half ago, is a collaboration with the Douglas County Housing Partnership. The Audrey will be limited to residents over 55 years of age who qualify for the affordable housing rental rate.

“We’re providing an affordable home for people that, under normal circumstances, income wouldn’t allow them to live there,” said Peter Culshaw, executive vice president of Shea Properties.

The rental rate for the properties, which will be calculated by the Colorado Housing and Finance Authority, will be approximately two-thirds of the area’s market rate, Culshaw said. There will be 134 units, including studio apartments, one-bedroom apartments and two-bedroom apartments.

In a group of similar affordable apartments from Shea Properties, called the Apex Meridian, rent for a one-bedroom apartment is currently set by CHFA at $1,053 and for a two-bedroom apartment it’s $1,252.

These rates are likely to change before The Audrey opens.

Eligible applicants for the complex will have an income that is not more than 60% of the area’s median income. In Douglas County, that meant $42,000 for a one-person household and $48,000 for a two-person household in 2020. These rates are adjusted every year, but the 2021 figures have not yet been released.

“We think there’s an enormous demand, people are really, really receptive to this,” he said.

The apartments, located at the cor-

ner of Dorchester Street and South Ridgeline Boulevard near Civic Green Park, will have a clubhouse, exercise room, outdoor grills and other amenities.

“It’s a great location for this,” Culshaw said. “It’s opposite the park, right next to the library, it has an RTD bus terminal, you can walk to grocery stores and you can walk to retail and restaurants.”

So far, the apartment complex has several hundred people on its interest list, he said. Sometime before the apartments are completed, those on the interest list will have the opportunity to sign up for the wait list, which will be used to determine who becomes a resident.

“We’re encouraged by the number of people who have contacted us,” he said.

Those who wish to do so can join the interest list by visiting livetheaudrey.com.

Shea Properties will determine who is eligible under the age and income restrictions and then make the decisions on a first-come, firstserve basis.

Other similar Shea Property developments have put programs in place aimed at helping neighbors get to know each other.

“Community is very important to us and this will be no different,” he said.

In the next month or so, the exterior of the building is expected to be completed, leaving only interior and mechanical work.

Quarantine protocols change in Douglas County School District Students can now test for COVID-19 to potentially end quarantine early

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Quarantine protocols for the Douglas County School District have changed again during the COVID-19 pandemic under new state guidance.

The district will now ask people exposed to the virus to quarantine

for 10 days instead of 14, according to a Jan. 12 announcement.

Although students and staff could end quarantine at 10 days, the district is asking people to continue monitoring themselves for symptoms for a full two weeks, in line with a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommendation.

Interim Superintendent Corey Wise has previously urged shrinking quarantines to 10 days and told board directors at previous meetings he was hopeful that would SEE PROTOCOLS, P4

State legislator ‘surprised’ to find Trump supporters behind Capitol violence Rep. Mark Baisley’s social media post had connected insurrection to Antifa

BY ELLIOTT WENZLER EWENZLER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A state legislator who publicly called into question whether it was truly supporters of President Trump who stormed the U.S. Capitol Jan. 6 now acknowledges that most of the people who have been arrested for the crime were in fact supporters of Donald Trump.

“I was surprised and disappointed,” state Rep. Mark Baisley, R-Roxborough Park, said during a Jan. 15 interview Baisley with Colorado Community Media. “But it turns out most of the people who have been arrested (were) supporters of Trump.”

Baisley’s original statements, posted to Facebook the day of the insurrection, asserted that the actions seen at the Capitol appeared to match those of the far-left, antifascist movement Antifa, rather than “Trump patriots.” This theory,

for which no credible evidence has been presented, took hold with many Trump supporters in the days following the insurrection.

“It does not make any sense to me that Trump patriots would storm the U.S. Capitol to interrupt a congressional challenge to the electoral college results,” Baisley wrote at the time. “I hope that many arrests are made and identities of the sponsors revealed.”

Baisley represents House District 39, which encompasses Teller County and much of unincorporated Douglas County, including part of Highlands Ranch.

Shortly after he posted the statement, a screenshot of it was shared by a 9News reporter and an outpouring of critical comments followed, with several people voicing interest in a recall attempt.

Darien Wilson, former Democratic candidate for commissioner in Douglas County, was one of the people to respond to Baisley’s comments, calling him a “conspiracy theorist.”

“I would like to see our elected officials remain neutral until there is evidence one way or the other,” said Wilson, who is also one of Baisley’s constituents, in an interview with Colorado Community Media. “I do appreciate Baisley’s backing off, somewhat, of his initial statement.”

The FBI and the minority leader of the U.S. House of Representatives, Republican Kevin McCarthy, have both released statements saying there has not been any evidence that those who stormed the Capitol were anything other than Trump supporters.

“Some say the riots were caused

by Antifa — there is absolutely no evidence of that,” McCarthy said in a Jan. 13 hearing in the House.

“And conservatives should be the first to say so.”

Baisley told Colorado Community Media he had not previously been aware of these statements.

“It still doesn’t make sense to me, but evidently the facts are showing that that was the case,” he said.

Baisley went on to say he still believes there could be evidence of non-Trump supporters at the insurrection.

Baisley, who was elected in 2018 to represent the district, said he was surprised that his “benign observation” received so much attention.

“Why is it important what I believe?” he said.

In a follow-up post on Facebook Jan. 9, Baisley characterized his comments on the insurrection as “an open quandary rather than an assertion.” He went on to doubledown on the claims that Antifa could be involved.

Both posts received hundreds of comments and interactions, many of which showed support and agreement with the idea.

Baisley said it’s likely that a lot of folks who already may have believed in this idea “took my comment as a validation.”

“But I don’t hate them for that,”

relieve some operational pressures on the district.

Hybrid and in-person learning grew difficult during the fall semester, Wise has said, partly because quarantines kept more teachers out of classrooms than there were available substitutes.

Another change looked imminent, Wise said during a Jan. 5 board meeting, as the district was working to implement a way for students and staff to test out of quarantines.

Moving forward, parents can choose to get their quarantined children tested for COVID-19.

A student should not test sooner than five days after they were exposed and can stop quarantining after seven days if results are negative and they remain asymptomatic.

There might still be a delay between the end of a student’s quarantine and when they can resume in-person learning. That depends on when the class and teacher are able to return, according to the announcement.

The new protocols also apply to

he said. “Why would anybody hate someone for jumping to a reasonable conclusion?”

Baisley said he doesn’t believe that his comments contributed to the larger conspiracy theory that took hold in the country that there were bad actors dressed up as Trump supporters in the crowd that day.

“I gave my reaction, I did not advance an idea, I asserted no specific allegations,” he said.

He went on to say that the spread of misinformation can be dangerous, especially in the case of people believing that the recent election was rigged.

“If what people believe are simply conspiracy theories that don’t cause some real significant reaction, like insurrection, then so what?” he said. “But if they incite violence, incite people to go storm the Capitol, then obviously it does matter a lot.”

However, he said he doesn’t see how believing that Antifa followers were perpetrators at the Capitol insurrection could have a negative impact.

“I don’t think it’s dangerous that people would believe that Antifa …

I don’t see that there’s any danger in people believing any theory about who it was that attacked the Capitol,” he said.

He said he was considering adding a new post clarifying these latest thoughts.

“I stand by what I said then, but I guess it probably would make sense. It probably is time for an update to that,” he said. “Now that I’ve got the perspective of nine or 10 days.”

district staff.

The district listed a number of ways students and staff could reduce their risk of exposure.

Students should wear face coverings at all times, unless outdoors or eating. Staff, including teachers, could wear a mask and a clear face shield or goggles at the same time.

Both groups should keep six feet away from others when possible, regularly wash hands and stay home when sick, according to the district.

Douglas County Federation President Kallie Leyba said that part of the announcement stood out to her. The local teachers union leader also encouraged teachers to consider wearing both a KN95 mask and shield.

For elementary school teachers, who work around the district’s youngest learners, it can also be difficult to keep children socially distanced throughout their day, she said. Those teachers should try to maintain six feet from students if they can’t consistently keep students six feet from one another, she said.

“It’s unrealistic to expect kids to sit in their seat and not move around for six hours a day,” she said.

Living the Dream brewery makes beer benefiting Backcountry The wheat beer can be purchased on tap or in a can

BY ELLIOTT WENZLER EWENZLER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The staff at Living the Dream Brewing Co. has developed a new beer, benefitting the Backcountry Wilderness Area in Highlands Ranch, that they hope is the perfect brew to enjoy during or after outdoor adventures.

The Backcountry Wilderness Wheat is “like sunshine in a glass,” said Emily Hutto, a spokesperson for Living the Dream.

Ten percent of all sales of the beer, which is on draft and canned at Living the Dream, will go directly into the Backcountry Conservation and Education Fund.

The Highlands Ranch Community Association’s Backcountry Wilderness Area, which makes up 13 square miles of Highlands Ranch, is a dedicated conservation area in the southern part of the community.

The Backcountry Conservation & Education Fund was formed with the goals of wildlife habitat conservation in that area and environmental education, said Lindsey McKissick, outreach coordinator for the wilderness area.

“They put our mission on the back (of the can),” McKissick said. “Now,

anyone who picks up a six-pack and turns the can around has a second to look at what our mission is.”

Much of the nonprofit’s work goes toward fire mitigation, noxious weed treatments, maintaining water resources for wildlife and education programs for the community.

“We’re really lucky to have small businesses like Living the Dream here backing us,” McKissick said.

“Because it makes a difference.”

The local brewery has partnered with the nonprofit since it got off the ground in 2017, with Living the Dream hosting a fundraising event every second Thursday of the month that benefits the Backcountry. During the monthly Beer for Bucks event, $1 from each beer sold at the brewery goes toward the

“The nonprofit and brewery have been working together so long it made sense to make a beer,” Hutto said.

Cans of the beer can be purchased at the Living the Dream Brewery,

“Living the Dream … really celebrates all things Colorado and Colorado is such an outdoor-centric state,” Hutto said. “The whole brand is around getting outside and enjoying beers après.”

over groups, but it’s being included with those groups,” Wise said to Colorado Community Media on Jan. 11.

Ensuring teachers and district staff have access to vaccinations is critical to returning students to inperson learning, providing relief to working parents and stabilizing the local economy, he said.

The district had given its healthcare providers Excel sheets denoting employees who would qualify under Phase 1 of the state’s plan, Wise said.

“We were doing our best to send out invitations to everyone,” he said.

Wise said changes in messaging about distribution plans added “complication in an already complicated environment.” More than 40 school nurse consultants, who qualify under Phase 1A of the state distribution plan, received doses on Jan. 6, but the district had to halt plans to bring teachers and other school staff into the mix.

Meanwhile, educators were being vaccinated at charter school STEM School Highlands Ranch.

A spokeswoman said staff at the school arranged appointments with Littleton Adventist Hospital before the state issued guidance about prioritizing people 70 and older.

The hospital first contacted the school on Dec. 31 for lists of staff members and began contacting STEM employees individually on Jan. 4. When the hospital did not

tance “can’t be overstated,” Leyba said.

“It was certainly disappointing to get our hopes up and then hear a couple weeks later that it wasn’t actually going to happen in January,” she said. “The communication confusion was the biggest disappointment.”

While Leyba would like to see teachers vaccinated by spring break, she’s bracing members for a longer timeline, in which they receive first doses in late March and second doses in April, “and then we only have one month left of school.”

“I think we should keep our expectations tempered,” she said.

Leyba informally surveyed some members who generally felt comfortable returning to hybrid learning, she said, but they are skeptical that full in-person learning would last if the district goes that route this semester.

“As much as they want it, they realize that when we pack that many older kids, who transmit this disease like adults, in a classroom, the biggest concern is that it won’t be sustainable,” Leyba said.

Wise stressed during recent school board meetings that he does not believe schools are a significant source of COVID-19’s spread — that most exposures among students and staff came from outside school buildings.

The district is entering “a new environment,” though, and will closely monitor spread of the new COVID mutation now circulating in the state, Wise said. He’s not sure what that might mean for containing the virus within district buildings.

Leyba said she too will keep a close eye on the new mutation’s spread, and whether that means more potential for spread within schools.

The district has not been routinely testing students, an age group that’s often asymptomatic, she said, signaling to her there’s little evidence proving or disproving whether most exposures came from outside buildings.

She’s optimistic about data from at-home tests for students promised by the state, but in light of the vaccine pause, will believe that when she sees it, Leyba said.

“I guess I feel burned,” she said.

VOICES

Animal adoption agencies seeing a doggone frenzy

ecause of the pandemic, which of the following is way up nationwide?

Average per-person daily intake of calories from sugar?

QUIET Trips to the DESPERATION liquor store?

Pet adoption?

I don’t have the facts in front of me about calories and alcohol, just the assumption that both are true.

There are facts, however, that show pet adoption in the Craig Marshall Smith past year was not only way up but highly competitive.

Adoption agencies all over the country are experiencing something unique: They’re running out of pets; some have seen double the requests for dogs since the pandemic came along.

This is good news, but it comes with some bad news and an advisory (from me).

According to the Better Busi-

ness Bureau, “The number of complaints about fraudulent and nonexistent breeders has never been higher.”

At times, humans are an industriously evil lot.

If there’s a market value in deception, mankind will find it.

Dogs, cats, birds, fish, and even ferrets are “going like hotcakes,” said one operator of an animal shelter in Maryland.

Why? I don’t have room to go through all of the reasons why Harry enhances my life and makes it worth waking up every morning and chewing (as Emo Phillips said) through the leather straps.

Today, 35.7 million Americans live alone. When quarantined, that’s a lot of solitary souls trying to make the best of it — psychologically.

I can’t think of anything better than spending the day with Harry.

I’d take him over Audrey Hepburn.

And that would have been true before “social distancing.”

On January 6, like everyone else, I watched the horrific events unfold in Washington, D.C., glued to the

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Anti-democracy agents must go

Jan. 6 will go down in history as one of the darkest days of our country.

A violent coup was staged on our U.S. Capitol. Make no mistake, it was an act of war.

All those involved in inciting, encouraging, and/or participating must be held accountable. There is no unity without accountability.

Merlin Klotz, our elected official in charge of our county elections, peddled the lies that fueled the coup. Without evidence, he claimed voter fraud while admitting “nothing in particular stood out” in regards to said fraud. He must resign immediately.

There is no unity without accountability.

Trump must be impeached. He incited, encouraged, and supported these traitors. He said he “loved them” and promised “this was just the beginning,” as greater violence is promised on Jan. 20.

These are dark days. But we can, and must, stop it. Trump must be impeached and his power removed. Merlin Klotz must resign and we must have an election official who believes in the integrity of our democracy.

There is no unity without accountability.

screen and mesmerized, revolted, saddened and disgusted.

Harry?

Harry came to me with a leash in his mouth.

Three of my friends adopted cats last year and they weren’t random acts: Each had owned cats in the past.

The advisory I mentioned is just this: Pets, especially dogs, require time, money, and commitment — and respect.

Harry’s annual Wellness Exam is coming up. He’s on a prescription diet. His teeth have to be cleaned.

Dog ownership isn’t what it once was.

The American Pet Products Association estimated we spent $99 billion on pet industry expenditures in 2020.

Some of that might include stupid hats and costumes, but the majority went to food, training, and medical care.

Although Hexe, my boyhood dachshund, was loved, she was treated very differently than I treat Harry. Dogs were, well, dogs back then. Now they are important mem-

bers of the family.

In the absence of a family, Harry is my son. His well-being is my well-being.

Experts warn that “adoptions should not be spontaneous,” but there probably were a few of those.

Research beforehand helps. There are sites (adoptapet.com, for example) that will help you determine which (breed) dog is best for you.

As great as dachshunds are, they’re not for everyone. Some of you may remember Smitty. He was adopted, at the age of 5, from the great, no-kill MaxFund Shelter in Denver.

I was his third owner. It’s my understanding he may have nipped a child who was playing too aggressively with Smitty when he was a puppy.

Please: Do your homework.

The grand illusion in the land of confusion

M

usic just seems to have a way of connecting us with feelings of inspiration, motivation, adventure, romance, sorrow, and love. We WINNING can remember WORDS where we were the first time we heard those songs, and the people or person that we were with, and how we experienced the music.

Michael Norton Dating myself here as I share that I am a little stuck in the ‘70s and early ‘80s when it comes to my preferred genre of music. My playlists for working out, walking, or skiing are a collection of my favorite songs from that era.

This week, as I was listening to one of my playlists, I found the irony and prophetic wisdom in a couple of the songs that made it into my mix. The

first was Styx, “The Grand Illusion,” and the song that followed was Genesis, “Land of Confusion.” I asked myself: “Irony or prophecy?”

Styx’s “The Grand Illusion” lyrics caught my attention: “Welcome to the grand illusion, come on in and see what’s happening, pay the price, get your ticket for the show.”

It made me think of everything that has been going on in our country. The points of view, posts, political speeches, censorship and what the news covers and does not cover.

And just how serious of a situation we are in no matter what side we fall out on. And in the situations that we are finding ourselves in could well be described as the grand illusion that appears in our news and social media each day. Are we believing in the magic of the spin doctors on all sides and at every level, so much so, that we cannot determine what is real?

Genesis’ “The Land of Con-

fusion.” This was a unique political song for Genesis.

It refers to the thinking of world leaders at the time, specifically the United States and Russia. And on the heels of the Styx song mentioned above, “The Land of Confusion” filled my ears and my heart with the recognizable beat and lyrics. And as the song played, as loud as I could get it to play, I found myself anticipating and waiting for a particular part of the song, “There’s too many men, too many people, making too many problems, and not much love to go-’round, can’t you see this is the land of confusion.” Could it be any more spot-on today, especially considering that it was released in 1986? We need more love to go-’round.

As we all come to the same conclusion that it is an illusion and it is confusion, we will find ourselves thinking, “Now what?” For those of us

New year, new possibilities

A

new year is upon us and 2020 is but a bad memory.

It is important though, to learn what we can from the events of last year, to better prepare for any opportunities in 2021 FINANCIAL and beyond.

STRATEGIES It is hard to believe that a pandemic that hit the United States early last year will still be with us in full force a year later. This is a good example of what it feels like to plan for the unPatricia Kummer known, and why it is so important to do so.

Last year was riddled with many issues: economies shutting down, overrun hospitals, businesses closing, job loss, social unrest and political turmoil, just to name a few.

And many of these issues played out in the stock market, causing a significant correction, bear market and unprecedented recovery. These are all virtually impossible to plan for. Therefore, every plan should have flexibility for the unknowns

and statements. Firstly, it should be pointed out that this article was certainly prepared prior to the riot at our federal legislative body.

It is widely known that Vice President Pence had no legal authority to intervene and declare the election illegal. To state otherwise would be to go against the laws of our land.

However, Klotz did encourage constituents to “Write, text, email and pray for Mike Pence to do the right thing.” It worked, he did, and thus maintained our country’s rule of law.

not caught up in the mania that is taking place, we wonder how we should respond, what can we do, how do we live, work, and play amidst the illusion and confusion?

Here is the answer, just as we have seen magic shows and magicians live or on television, and then we get to see the hacks from behind the scenes, we are entertained for sure, but we accept it at face value.

It is magic. So, when we think of the grand illusion let’s look for the hack and the reality. Not trusting those who are trying to convince us through emotion but looking through the illusion and confusion by using our good judgment and common sense to draw our own conclusions.

One last song lyric from a tune

you cannot predict. Even for those who thought they could predict how the market would behave in these situations, many were wrong, and missed out on the strongest recovery in history.¹ Let’s look at the lessons learned here so we can be better stewards of our resources going forward.

• Trying to time the market almost never works. Remember the old adage, it is time in the market, not timing the market that brings the best results. March 2020 was a perfect example. Although we had a significant and quick decline, we had an equally significant and fast recovery.

• Emergency reserves are crucial at all times. The unemployment rate skyrocketed on a moment’s notice. Businesses were closing all year long, and the decline in the services sector was virtually impossible to predict. Having cash emergency reserves for at least six months’ living expenses may have been the difference in keeping your house, car and investments intact.

• Diversification is essential. Most investors wanted more cash and bonds in March but then drastically

wished they had more equities the rest of the year. This teaches us that proper diversification, based on your time frame, risk tolerance and income needs, is crucial all year long. When you have the right mix of conservative and growth investments, you can take distributions from the lower-risk assets and let the growth assets compound for longer periods of time, potentially helping offset future inflation.

• Don’t let emotions or politics drive your investment decisions.

Many investors and advisors alike thought the stock market would be negative in 2020. This concern started off with impeachment news without much concern (at that time) that we couldn’t avoid the pandemic quickly. Also trying to guess how an election year would affect the stock market can be a hopeless task. Many learned that lesson in 2016 as well.

• Bad times can create opportunity. Warren Buffett put it best when he said, “Be fearful when others are greedy, and greedy when others are fearful.” Don’t underestimate innovation during difficult times.

There are many other reasons to be prepared and prudent, but the

main message is to build a flexible financial plan. Start with the basics, such as emergency reserves and proper portfolio design. Don’t get caught up in the hype, which you can now see was not beneficial during 2020.

Start the new year with goals to keep your plan current, review your portfolio, plan for taxes, update your estate plan and prepare for the unexpected. We believe these simple steps can better position you to handle future unknowns.

Thoughts on Klotz

If I were the reporter interviewing Merlin Klotz, in the article “Clerk urges Pence to declare some states’ elections illegal” by Elliott Wenzler, I would have asked Mr. Klotz, the head of our Douglas County elections, about his motive for his Facebook post declaring elections in seven states illegal.

Who does he think he is? Oh, excuse me, he is our elected authority on elections. Then what gives him the right to challenge the electoral tally on a conservative blog? Oh, the First Amendment and freedom of speech, although not surprisingly that right is challenged by the head of Douglas County Democrats who disagrees, finding a way to package his speech as an ethical violation. Ha, when did Democrats SEE LETTERS, P11

How about you? Are there songs that remind you of certain times in your life? Do those songs resonate with you today based on the world we are living in? There are so many great classics from yesteryear that are just so relevant today and I would love to hear your favorites at mnorton@tramazing. com.

WORD ON THE HEAT:

Forget the controversy, enjoy your chiles

Green chile is region’s signature food, with no shortage of controversy

BY BOB WOOLEY BWOOLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

H

atch, Pueblo, Anaheim or an upstart from Greeley — Coloradans have differences of opinion on who grows green chiles best. But when it comes to the state’s love for the spicy fruit (yes, fruit), there’s not much debate to be found.

What you can find, almost everywhere, are green chile burgers, green chile burritos, green chiles in chocolate and wine. There’s green chile salsa, green chile sausages, chips with green chile and lime. But according to Eddie V., (last name withheld) originally from Pueblo, but calling Denver home for decades, for the true connoisseur, a bowl of green chile with a side of warm flour tortillas is all you’ll ever need.

New Mexico, let’s face it, is the 800-pound gorilla in the green chile game, with the tiny village of Hatch creating a smoky mystique from coast to coast. But Colorado has been making a respectable showing with the Mirasol, or Mosco chile, aka the Pueblo chile, grown in, you guessed it, Pueblo.

To say green chiles are popular in the city of Pueblo would be a notable understatement. Home to the Chile and Frijoles Festival, and perennial but friendly foe of the folks down in Hatch, the Southern Colorado city can claim serious chile cred. But about four hours north and a little bit east, Greeley is trying to get a piece of the action.

“My mother grew up on a farm, and wanted a produce stand when she was a child, and her dad said no. Then, when she got married, she still wanted one, and my father said no. When he died, she told my brother she wanted one, and he asked me what we should do, and I said: ‘Build her a produce stand!” said Tigges Farm’s Kathy Rickart.

Rickart comes from a Greeley family farm that goes back three generations. Pumpkins are the big cash crop at Tigges Farm, but if she has her way, Northern Colorado will, some day, compete with Pueblo for green chile glory — maybe even with Hatch. Rickart, with a background in 4-H education, developed her love of the green chile while spending seven years living and working in Bernalillo County, New Mexico. Her brother, Kenneth Tigges, was running the family farm at that point — growing chiles without much local demand, when a neighbor told him he needed to start roasting them onsite, which was a game-changer.

In 2008, Rickart’s mother passed away. At that time, Rickart, her sister, Gale, and her brother officially

took over the farm. They planted 5,000 chile plants that year. They’ve since quadrupled that number, and Rickart has sought out every bit of knowledge about green chiles she can find. Last year, even amid the COVID-19 pandemic, which she said gave them their share of difficulties, her farm sold out of chiles, Sahuaro by name, completely. The season is shorter up north than in the warmer climes of New Mexico, so don’t dawdle if you aim to try a Greeley chile in the fall.

“As soon as we get the hard freezes, it puts an end to the season,” Rickart said. “Mother Nature rules, from beginning to end.”

The fabled Santiago’s

Carmen Morales knows a few things about green chile, and green chiles. Morales founded Santiago’s.

Her mother’s green chile recipe put the restaurant on the metro area’s culinary map 30 years ago. Now, with more than 28 locations, Santiago’s is virtually synonymous with breakfast burritos. But the green chile, she said, still reigns supreme.

Morales’ parents were originally from New Mexico, where she said her mom learned to cook.

“My dad had to have green chile at every meal or he would refuse to

eat,” she said. “To him, it wasn’t really a meal without it.”

So, her mom would make it from scratch every day. Morales said that scratch kitchen tradition continues to this day at every Santiago’s location. And when you see the numbers — the sheer volume of product they’re creating — it puts into perspective, what a massive undertaking it is.

“One year we purchased 1.8 million pounds of green chiles,” Morales said, “and sold 1.36 million gallons of green chile.”

Santiago’s gets all of those green chiles from Salem, New Mexico, not the storied Hatch. Morales says the farm they buy from is the only one they’ve found capable of producing what her restaurants need.

Santiago’s celebrated the 30th anniversary of their flagship location in Brighton earlier this month.

On the topic of things that are wildly popular in this state, Tommyknocker has been brewing craft beer in Idaho Springs for 26 years.

Brewmaster Steve Indrehus has been there the entire time, creating beer with hints of chocolate, pumpkin and citrus, but a mainstay, and the No. 2 seller in the lineup, is their Green Chile Lager. Other breweries make chile brews too, but Indrehus

thinks drinkability is what sets Tommyknocker’s apart from the rest.

“A lot of the others are really hot and in the novelty category,” he said.

“Ours has green chile flavor and warmth, but it’s drinkable. We want people to drink one and want another, not get burned up by too much spice, too much alcohol — everything comes together to make a really nice balanced beer.”

Indrehus said it takes about 100 pounds of chiles — a blend of mild and hot Anaheims — to make every batch of lager.

Scented, not spicy

Beer’s not your bag? Green chile lovers who prefer a touch of the grape, rejoice.

Lescombes Vineyard has you covered. The New Mexico winery has been making Hatch Green Chile Wine since the late 1980s. Sandra Pacheco, national sales director at Lescombes, said the wine isn’t spicy.

“It’s more in the bouquet,” she said. “You’re getting the heat from the aroma, like the essence of a roasted chile, in the nose of the wine.”

Several stores in the metro area stock Hatch Green Chile Wine, if you’re so inclined.

discover ethics? And that’s the point. We would not have had illegal elections if the Democrats had ethics.

Smith Young Parker Consider failed court cases

People are entitled to an opinion and there is a right to express those opinions just like Trump can contest the results in the court system.

However, to completely ignore or mention the court cases that did not overturn the ballots is a gross error in any opinion. The evidence needs to be presented to the court and if the courts rule that the evidence not compelling then the case has to be rejected. That is how the Constitution works.

Calling it a deep state operation is an insult to the United Sates court system. Parroting Trump that we were robbed just incites the masses.

The result was seen on national TV on Jan. 6. Shame on anyone for not mentioning or considering the court record on these cases in their post.

The flames were fanned by propagating the lies about the extent of voting fraud. Blood has been spilled and it is on your hands. Now deal with it.

Ed Moore Highlands Ranch Account for officers

Given the large number of reports and identifications of law enforcement officers who traveled to D.C. and participated in the seditious assault upon the Capitol, shouldn’t all law enforcement agencies in Colorado provide an accounting to the public of their personnel (to include volunteers, e.g. community service volunteers and reserve officers) on that day to provide assurance that none traveled to D.C. to participate in the terrorist assault on our nation’s Capitol?

And given the extensive national effort by thousands of Trump supporters that was put into the lawlessness in D.C., and the significant amount of chatter on web pages and social media, shouldn’t all Colorado law enforcement agencies put the FBI’s dedicated tip line for the Capitol Hill assault on their website homepages so that citizens can provide any information that they

might have regarding the terrorists that participated in, or aided and abetted, one of the worst crimes in American history?

Robert C. Marshall Highlands Ranch Blessed with outdoor amenities

I’d like to share a moment of gratitude for this community and those who help us keep it accessible.

One of the many things I appreciate about living in Highlands Ranch and Douglas County are the open space and trail systems we have — the ones common to all of us in the pathways between and connecting our neighborhoods and parks, as well as the extensive backcountry trails.

Just after the snow this week, getting out for some time myself, it was so impressive to see the evidence of so many others who had done the same. Footprints in the snow as a silent testimony of those who’d taken the time to get outside for a run, to walk the dog, or spend time with the kids and family.

Thank you to all — public and private — who keep it clean, clear and safe for us to enjoy.

I know that we have some challenges to face these days. And it’s hard at times to see some of the simple things we have to appreciate here. But I’d encourage you to take the time to get out, say hi to a neighbor, and recognize how lucky we are to live where we do.

Mark Hall, let’s talk

Mark Hall’s call to harass inspectors and CDPHE staff at their homes is alarming. I joined the Parker community over 15 years ago. I was on staff at PEPC and volunteered there for several years. In Parker I have managed small businesses, helped people move, repaired homes, and donated time, talents, and resources to local organizations. I have received food from SECOR, had rent paid by my church, and had help from people in Parker to get a job at CDPHE. CDPHE’s over 2,000 employees are just as diverse as Colorado.

We have single moms volunteering as medical interpreters, retired military, spouses of active military, people who volunteer for shelters, and above all, we are all public servants. Mr. Hall’s call to harass public servants and our families is a call to harass children, military, and our neighbors.

give my perspective on the issue.

My stance on the topic at hand became apparent when I was able to compare and contrast the events of the Black Lives Matter protests this summer and the protests that took place recently at the Capitol. The difference that proved vital for me in these two events of protest were the motives that fueled the actions of the demonstrations.

The Black Lives Matter protests were carried out by a heavily marginalized group and those who concurred with their message. The chant for equality, “Black Lives Matter,” rang through the heads of Americans as we saw countless valiant efforts of underrepresented citizens fight for their voice and reject the unethical murders of those in their community. These protests led to the destruction of property and violence as many asked, “how can we harness the attention of those fit to incite change?”

In juxtaposition, the protesters at the Capitol brought violence and damage to our nation’s home.

Their reasoning was disrupting our nation’s democratic processes, under the guidance of the country’s leading firebrand, provoking and encouraging this ill-conceived behavior along the way.

Thomas Romano Parker

Two different kinds of protests

In the aftermath of the recent riot at the United States Capitol, the nation is left divided over what some argue to be acting upon their First Amendment right, and what others view as a true act of domestic terrorism. This division has been demonstrated heavily by news coverage, social media, and other forms of communication. I am writing to

BRAUCHLER FROM PAGE 1

Brauchler, a Republican, is a lawand-order man, skilled prosecutor, trusted friend, and some believe, destined for higher office. To others, he’s a punitive district attorney, partisan politician, and blind to racial disparities in criminal justice.

Arapahoe County Democrats “are happy to see George Brauchler go,” party chair Kristin Mallory said.

“He definitely doesn’t represent Arapahoe County,” she said.

Douglas County Sheriff Tony Spurlock, a Republican, hopes this is far from the last Colorado has seen of Brauchler.

“I’d like to see that guy as my congressman,” Spurlock said.

Brauchler’s successor, John Kellner, asked him to stay on as special prosecutor for the upcoming STEM School shooting trial. He’ll continue serving part-time on the case, but as of Jan. 12 his eight years as district attorney are over.

One week before leaving office, the term-limited DA stood surrounded by years’ worth of files making their way into moving boxes. Brauchler has packed up and left. Where he’s going remains to be seen.

Big cases, diverse district

State Rep. Tom Sullivan came to know Brauchler in 2012 as the recently elected district attorney took on prosecuting the Aurora theater shooter. Sullivan’s son Alex died on his 27th birthday in the rampage that left 11 more dead.

For more than three years, Sullivan’s family worked closely with Brauchler while the case raged on. Since then Sullivan said he’s stepped back to look at the bigger picture of Brauchler’s career.

“He’s pretty much shown that he is a party-over-person legislator of the people,” Sullivan said.

Sullivan, a Democrat, went on from the shooting to flip House District 37 in 2018 and today represents portions of Centennial and unincorporated Arapahoe County.

The two men found themselves at political odds numerous times since, Sullivan said. Sullivan ran for office intent on addressing gun violence and took note when Brauchler advocated against gun control measures he pursued, Sullivan said.

They found some common ground when lawmakers repealed Colorado’s death penalty in 2020.

Brauchler, a Parker resident, has been a staunch supporter of capital punishment, calling it a critical tool for holding the “worst of the worst” accountable. He still thinks the repeal should have been sent to a vote of the people rather than decided at the Capitol.

“They were gutless,” Brauchler said.

Sullivan had pleaded with his fellow lawmakers to keep capital punishment on the books.

Despite their shared support on the issue, Brauchler’s unsuccessful pursuit of it in the Aurora theater shooting case remains a point of contention for Sullivan, who is convinced the sole dissenting juror’s mind was made up “on Day 1.” He faults Brauchler’s team for not detecting that.

“They didn’t get the death penalty

qualified jury on the case. I mean, it’s as simple as that,” Sullivan said.

That gun violence bookended Brauchler’s tenure — beginning with Aurora, ending with STEM School, and the 2013 Arapahoe High School shooting in-between — is not lost on Sullivan.

The legislator wants a proactive approach to preventing gun violence, he said, but says Brauchler would rather “throw the book at them” once someone commits gun violence.

“He certainly hasn’t made us any safer. He certainly hasn’t done anything to stop that from happening in our community,” Sullivan said.

Brauchler has been asked why his community and surrounding areas have been hit with multiple cases of horrific gun violence. After eight years, the question still confounds him.

His community is filled with good people, he said, adding “I don’t think we are doing anything wrong.”

“I don’t know,” he said. “I truly don’t know. I want to say it’s a function of coincidence.”

‘What he’s built for’

Kellner, also a Republican, said the 18th has taken measures to curb gun violence, like through its “robust juvenile diversion program” that helps reduce recidivism rates and monitoring illegal gun sales.

The new district attorney first met Brauchler more than a decade ago at a military training course. When Brauchler asked him to join the 18th in 2012 and help start up a cold case unit, Kellner said “it was a no brainer.”

As a boss, Brauchler didn’t micromanage his staff, Kellner said. He laid out expectations and set deputies free to make decisions “that we thought were best for our community.”

Kellner said some of his predecessor’s successes were building out problem-solving courts and launching a veteran treatment court, ventures he expected some district attorneys might pass up.

“He was willing to take those chances,” Kellner said.

Kellner also credited Brauchler as one of the people who influenced what his approach will be to highprofile cases.

“When there is something so impactful in the community, it’s up to the district attorney to be heavily

involved and that often means trying the case,” Kellner said.

Working in the courtroom’s trenches also gives district attorneys crucial insight to advise prosecutors on hard cases, Kellner said.

Mallory, the Arapahoe County Democrats chair, said Brauchler missed the mark on some cases that gained widespread attention.

The district attorney’s office announced in January that Aurora police officers who handcuffed a Black family, including young children, at gunpoint after mistaking their vehicle as stolen will not face charges.

“We know JD 18 has refused to prosecute the cops in Aurora who put Black children face-down on hot pavement,” she said. “I think that reflects a failure.”

The office’s report on the incident described the officers’ actions as intolerable and in need of further investigation but not criminal.

Mallory believes Brauchler lacks “a full understanding of how white supremacy plays a role in our criminal justice system.”

Brauchler better represented the district’s other three counties, all Republican strongholds, Mallory said, while Arapahoe County is a working-class community. It’s diverse in terms of culture, religion and race, she said. Douglas, Elbert and Lincoln counties make up the remainder of the district.

Being “tough on crime” is also expensive, she said, as is pursuing the death penalty. In that regard, Brauchler was not financially responsible “or even a conservative DA for us,” she said.

In a word, she describes his approach to being district attorney as “punitive.” People in Arapahoe County need restorative justice that focuses on “root cause of crime,” she said.

Brauchler has been critical of rehabilitation programs but refutes any notion he’s against them.

“You’re talking also to the district attorney of an office that has the largest, most successful juvenile diversion program in the country,” he said. “You’re not talking to someone who is opposed to meaningful paths away from incarceration.”

He said “an increasingly progressive and forgiveness first” state Legislature is taking tools away from law enforcement and making

rehabilitation programs too lenient.

Brauchler said the justice system must have predictable and meaningful sentences for offenders, and before that, communities that take responsibility for socioeconomic conditions leading people to crime.

Spurlock hopes Brauchler reaches Congress. He also hopes Brauchler becomes district attorney of the 23rd Judicial District, which will be Colorado’s newest in decades when Douglas, Lincoln and Elbert counties break off from the 18th in 2024.

“That’s what he’s built for,” Spurlock said.

He has made many after-hours call to Brauchler when crisis struck.

The district attorney stood by him as a guide and personal friend during the most traumatic moments for Spurlock since he became sheriff, Spurlock said.

When a gunman opened fire on several of his deputies, killing Deputy Zackari Parrish on New Year’s Eve in 2017, Brauchler rushed to the scene, arriving shortly after law enforcement confirmed Parrish’s death.

“The emotion that was there in the parking lot, the sense of loss and grief,” Brauchler said.

The district attorney was outof-state when the STEM School shooting unfolded, but immediately boarded a plane home when Spurlock phoned with the news.

“He was not afraid to get out of bed in the middle of the night and come to a major scene and be there and provide guidance and support, and law enforcement loved him for that,” Spurlock said.

Brauchler put an emphasis on getting justice for victims, Spurlock said, in the courtroom and in other stages of criminal justice as well.

Spurlock credited Brauchler as instrumental in opening the Unified Metropolitan Forensic Crime Laboratory in 2018, hailed as one solution to shortening evidence-processing backlogs at the state lab.

Brauchler was also guided by “what was just and right,” Spurlock said, and didn’t prosecute based on politics. He called Brauchler “one of the fairest guys that I had ever come across in the DA (role).”

“We never had the discussion of politics, of well, what is the political landscape of this if we do this or that,” Spurlock said.

‘Blink of an eye’

The district has had “more than its share of big cases,” Brauchler said. The work never feels done.

Leaving the job was surreal.

“You take for granted how that constant pressure and that constant vigilance to stay on top of cases,” he said, “makes the time go by in the blink of an eye.”

Brauchler, 51, says he does not know what his next job will be. Staying on the STEM case, a “personal and professional” priority for him, made committing to a new role difficult.

He might join a law firm. Holding elected office still interests him too, although the political climate today feels “super negative and so, super tribal,” Brauchler said, and he’s keenly aware Colorado is less purple than it once was. For now, he’s weighing his options.

“I am just old enough now to recognize that my unbridled ambition,” he said, “needs to be tempered.”

Doxxing by Parker man caused fear for woman, family State health employee shares her experience after alarming social media post

BY ELLIOTT WENZLER EWENZLER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

All it took was the ring of a doorbell for Sarah Tuneberg’s 10-year-old son to burst into tears.

The tension in the Denver home had already felt palpable as Tuneberg was grappling with how to keep her family safe. And now, an Amazon package delivery had sent her child into a panic.

“Are they here?” the boy asked through tears. “Whoever posted your name on the internet?”

It was more than her name that was posted online, however. Tuneberg’s address, along with a note encouraging people to “let them know how you feel” was posted to Facebook by a Parker man Dec. 28. She had been doxxed.

As a special senior adviser for the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment’s COVID-19 response, Tuneberg had been identified by the man as someone “putting thousands out of work,” and “killing businesses.”

“We’ll see how strong they are at their homes,” wrote Mark Hall, a 2020 Parker Town Council candidate and a co-chair of the Parker Republicans.

What followed for the mother of three were calls with the state’s homeland security department, increased police patrols by her home, tears, confusion and an internet binge on the rumors about her that were now spreading like wildfire.

‘I burst into tears’

Earlier in the day Dec. 28,

before she became aware of the doxxing, Tuneberg had sent an email to her colleague letting him know she would be taking 24 hours off to rest and reflect. She was brought on board by Gov. Jared Polis in March to fight the pandemic and expand community testing for the virus. She’d been working an average of 12- to 14-hour days for months and felt like she was accomplishing some of the best work of her career.

Less than a minute after sending that email, her colleague called her with the news that her name and address had been posted online and that people were being encouraged to come protest at her home.

“I was just like ‘what?’” she said in an interview with Colorado Community Media. “It was so terrifying, I won’t lie. I was so caught off guard and shaken ... I burst into tears.”

Things moved quickly after that. She was immediately connected with the Colorado Information Analysis Center, a part of the Colorado Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Management.

They guided her through a flurry of protective steps they recommend when things like this are done to people.

Close the blinds. Take everything off your porch.

Lock your doors. Lock your windows.

All of these measures were being taken because of the actions of a complete stranger in another town.

“I’ve never met Mark Hall in my life. I’ve never heard of him,” Tuneberg said.

calling for violence while posting her address and using words like “war” and “revolution.”

Hall declined requests to be interviewed for this story.

‘An internet hole’

Sarah Tuneberg, whose home address was shared online, poses for a PHOTO BY ELLIOTT WENZLER portrait on her front porch.

A Facebook group called “Revolt Against Shutdowns, Big Box Holidays,” was created Dec. 28. Hall posted in the group that he would, every day, be posting “the name and address of unelected, non-law enforcement officers who think they can flex muscles in businesses.”

“If they want a war, we can give them that,” he wrote.

Hall said he wasn’t advocating for violence, but asked people to show up to the employees’ homes with air horns, honking and signs.

After he posted the addresses of Tuneberg and another CDPHE employee, Hall received comments of encouragement.

“Take the gloves off. This is a bare knuckle war,” one commenter wrote. “Forget the rule book. Jungle rules apply now.”

To this comment, Hall responded “I agree … it will probably come to that.”

Others, however, were furious. Guided to the post by a 9News story about the doxxing, some commenters criticized the post and Hall.

The next day, Hall took down the post and apologized, saying: “People and small businesses right now are very passionate and concerned about what’s happening with continued shutdowns, and the actions I took were an attempt to express my frustration.”

But by then, Tuneberg’s address had been seen and shared countless times. As far as she knows, no one showed up to protest, but the fear that someone could tuck the information away to use later has already been planted in her mind.

“To be threatened in your home when it’s the only place you can go right now, it was really intense,” Tuneberg said.

Tuneberg, who has called the posting of her address “cowardly,” said it’s ridiculous for Hall to say he wasn’t

The day of rest and relaxation that Tuneberg had planned for suddenly looked very different.

“I’m embarrassed to admit, I fell into an internet hole,” she said.

She went through the “explosion” of messages she was receiving on Twitter and Facebook. She read through comments from people saying she was part of a great conspiracy to depopulate the planet, enslave society and collect people’s DNA through COVID-19 testing. The world sort of fell away, she said.

She explained to her kids what was happening, and took it as an opportunity to talk about how words and actions have consequences, even when you can’t see them, she said.

“I didn’t run for office. I really am just trying to do my best work and it feels so strange to be identified as someone who is worthy of that level of vitriol,” she said.

She has tried to get in touch with Hall — who as of Jan. 18 hadn’t responded or contacted her directly, she said — to let him know the impact of this event on her life, she said.

“I’d like to tell him who I am and what it was like to be on the other end of that and what it was like for my kids,” she said. “I’m just trying really hard in a global pandemic and you, without knowing me … decided I’m an enemy and deserving of incredible consequence in my life.”

Douglas County commissioners sworn in

BY ELLIOTT WENZLER EWENZLER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Commissioners George Teal and Lora Thomas were sworn in during an in-person and virtual event hosted by Douglas County Jan. 12.

Teal, who was elected in November, represents District 2, which includes Castle Rock, Castle Pines and many of the unincorporated portions of the county. Teal was a Castle Rock town council member for six years.

“It’s been a really long job interview for me this past year,” he said.

“There’s been a lot of words. For me, the time for words being spoken is actually coming to an end… the time for listening begins now.”

Teal was accompanied by his wife and two children during the swear-

ing-in ceremony.

Thomas, who was re-elected in November, first came into office in 2017. Her significant other and niece stood beside her while she took the oath.

“The significance of what we do here today is not about celebrating a political victory, but instead it’s the affirmation of a free people who make free choices,” she said. “I am very grateful for the faith and the confidence of those free people.”

Thomas, who represents District 3 — made up mostly of Highlands Ranch — is now the chairperson for the board of county commissioners.

“I can’t for a single moment contemplate anything less than my full devotion in serving those people to the utmost of my efforts and my abilities,” she said.

Commissioner George Teal is sworn into office Jan. 12. From left, he is accompanied by COURTESY OF DOUGLAS COUNTY his wife Laura Teal, daughter Laurel Teal and son George Teal Jr.

Basketball season will look different Pandemic means nothing is sure, but plans are in place to move forward

BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

There is to be a 2021 Colorado high school basketball season — although nothing is certain during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Basketball practices for boys and girls were to begin on Jan. 18 and competition had the go-ahead to start on Jan. 25, but the season will definitely look and be different.

The Colorado High School Activities Association gained a variance from the state and Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment to allow 24 total players on a team, plus coaches and trainers.

Modifications were announced for the upcoming season and masks must be worn by players during games. There will be a 14-game regular season in all classes. Postseason play in Class 3A will have a 24-team bracket, with 32-team brackets in Class 4A and 5A. Players will be limited to 76 total quarters in the season, exclusive of overtime and post-season games.

There will be no consolation games during the 2021 state tournaments, which are now scheduled for March 19-20. League champions automatically qualify for postseason play, and the CHSAA Seeding Index will determine at-large qualifiers.

“I do think that most coaches are just thrilled for the kids that they will get to play,” said Rock Canyon girls coach Becky Mudd.

Boys coaches that responded to questions favored Valor Christian, ThunderRidge and Regis Jesuit as the top teams in the south metro area, which includes the Douglas County and Littleton public schools, some Cherry Creek schools, plus Valor Christian and Lutheran high schools.

Valor Christian has Amondo Miller, AJ Kula and DJ Burrage coming back off last year’s 20-6 team that made the CHSAA’s Final Four before the season was canceled because of COVID concerns.

ThunderRidge has good size with Zack Keller and Joey Bilello and depth and leadership from Nolan Marold and Garrett Arnold. Regis will once again be a tough squad to handle with the senior guidance of Ty Bergman, Mike Wolfe, Blakeley Stoughton and Alonzo Paul.

Cherry Creek, led by last season’s top 5A scorer in Julian Hammond and Myles Purchase, will be a boys

team to watch while Ben Bowen and Mountain Vista could have another strong team.

Lutheran will have one of the highly regarded boys teams in Class 3A. Grandview, Regis Jesuit, Valor Christian and Highlands Ranch are among the south metro area’s preseason most prominent girls teams.

The Grandview Wolves return 6-foot-7 Lauren Betts, last season’s leading 5A rebounder with a 11.2 average and who also scored 17.8 points per game, along with Addison O’Grady and Marya Hudgins to form a strong nucleus. Regis is led

by Avery Van Sickle, and the Raiders will be another team that will be feared. Valor has lost Reagan Beers to an ACL injury but Kindyll Wetta, Jenna Siebert, Haley Huard and Skyler Boylan will provide the Eagles with abundant talent to go far in the playoffs. Highlands Ranch will be without Taylor Ray, who is in a battle against cancer, but the Falcons return Payton Muma to help form the foundation for a competitive team.

A few of the top returning boys south metro players are Hammond (Cherry Creek), Miller (Valor Christian), Baye Fall (Lutheran), Bowen (Mountain Vista), Terrance Ferguson (Heritage), Bergman (Regis Jesuit), Jalen Weaver

(Smoky Hill), Marold (ThunderRidge), Kula (Valor Christian), Purchase (Cherry Creek), Nate Gravagno (Englewood), Jaeton Hackley (Douglas County), Wolf (Regis Jesuit), Keller (ThunderRidge), Braden Boley (Chaparral), Tanner Lamb (Legend), Stoughton (Regis Jesuit), Arnold (ThunderRidge), Tommy Apodaca (Lutheran) , Garrett Siebert (Legend), Paul (Regis Jesuit), Bilello (ThunderRidge), Sean Evans (Legend), Jason Simental (ThunderRidge) and Reid Fornstrom (Littleton).

A list of some of the top south metro returning girls players includes Muma (Highlands Ranch), Van Sickle (Regis Jesuit), Wetta (Valor Christian), Siebert (Valor Christian), Betts (Grandview), Makena Vetter (Rock Canyon), Stephanie Schultz (Lutheran), O’Grady (Grandview), Liberty Line (Ponderosa), Trinity Grambush (Smoky Jill), Kacee Kyle (Cherry Creek), Avery Bang (Chaparral), Kinzie Whitehead (Legend), Boylan (Valor Christian), Hudgins (Grandview), Huard (Valor Christian), Jordan Johnson (Regis Jesuit), Abby Wrede (Cherry Creek), Sam Crispe (Arapahoe), Alex Pirog (Highlands Ranch), Samantha Jones (Regis Jesuit), Leaya McKinney (Castle View) and Payton Bang (Chaparral).
