armer days are ahead for Colorado and Lone Tree residents are ready to soak in the sun. The Cook Creek Pool is officially open and the

Lone Tree Rec Center has begun its lineup of summer camps.

On a sunny morning June 4, Debbie Hansley played fetch with her 4-yearold golden lab, Walter, at Prairie Sky Park. Walter is very good at fetching tennis balls, but even the best need a break sometimes.

Walter pauses while playing in the grass on a warm Tuesday morning at Prairie Sky Park, where he had demonstrated his zeal for chasing tennis balls.

Palmer Hoegh, a teacher at Highlands Ranch High School, asks the Douglas County Board of Education to reinstate a collective bargaining agreement with the local teachers’ union at a June 4 board meeting. The board ultimately denied the request, citing other goals as priorities.

ALEX DEWIND

Douglas County Federation, the teachers’ union, has not had an agreement in place since 2012

BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Roughly 40 educators from the Douglas County School District filled the boardroom of the district’s administrative building at the latest board of education meeting. During public comment, several teachers took the stand, where they dumped hundreds of marbles — representing teachers and staff — into a white bucket placed on the floor between them and the dais.

“These marbles and the people they represent have one clear message,” Mary Jo King, a teacher at Sagewood Middle School in Parker, said at the June 4 meeting. “It’s time to work together for a better Douglas County School District.”

The teachers, wearing pins with “CBA” printed in blue, were there to ask the school board to reinstate a collective bargaining agreement, which they said would increase morale and teacher input in districtwide decision making, as well as provide a sick-leave bank. The request was ultimately shot down by the school board.

“The board will remain focused on a dashboard that includes academic excellence, outstanding educators and staff, safe climate and financial wellbeing,” school board President David Ray said.

Teachers left the boardroom with their heads down. Some had tears in their eyes.

Palmer Hoegh, a teacher at Highlands Ranch High School, was “dumbfounded.”

“I’m immensely ashamed and disappointed in having supported those candidates,” she said outside of the boardroom. “This is a strong statement they just made against teachers.”

Union collected signatures for petition Nine years ago, the collaborative relationship between Douglas County School District and its teachers’ union, the Douglas County Federation, was lauded nationally. Then, in 2012, a conservative, reform-minded majority board voted to sever ties with the union, putting an end to a collective bargaining agreement that veteran teachers say strengthened communication and collaboration across the district.

“It was just heartbreaking,” King said in a phone interview on June 3. “They just tore down an amazing collaborative structure which empowered teachers.”

The school board’s reform efforts sparked years of contention, causing what community members called an exodus of quality teachers.

In 2015, three anti-reform members, including Ray, were elected to the boad. Two years later, four candidates with similar beliefs were elected, signaling a new majority and shift in power. The Douglas County Federation campaigned in 2017 for the four candidates, who promised to prioritize retaining quality educators and increasing teacher pay.

In December 2018, members of the Douglas County Federation met to discuss bringing back a collective bargaining agreement. Over the next five months, they collected 3,720 signatures from teachers and classified employees, such as teachers’ aides, for a petition asking the board to collectively bargain with teachers and staff, according to union president Kallie Leyba.

Council seeks alternative ways to reach citizens Coffee, public meetings, office hours among ideas for greater engagement

Mayor Jackie Millet, right, speaks during the Coffee with Council meeting at the Lone Tree Hub April 5. Coffee with Council is one of the many ways the city tries to listen to the needs of its residents face-toface.

COURTESY PHOTO

BY NICK PUCKETT NPUCKETT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

On an early April morning, Lone Tree’s five city councilmembers and Mayor Jackie Millet sat in the lobby of the Lone Tree Hub, a box of coffee and a platter of pastries on a table beside them, along with a few city staff members, two longtime residents and one reporter.

They were there for Coffee with Council, one of the city’s varied attempts to interact with constituents on a more personal level.

The turnout from local residents did not meet expectations this Thursday morning, Millet said. But whether it’s mornings, afternoons or weekends, she said, the city faces the same struggle with drawing residents to these gatherings or city council meetings.

“Our preference would be to have them reach out, versus this one-way communication,” Millet said.

But city officials believe a main reason for sparse attendance is that, for the most part, people are happy in Lone Tree, Millet said.

Several residents second that.

Pat Panzarino, a retired resident who has lived in Lone Tree for two years,

said there’s no need to show up to council meetings or voice his opinion because there’s nothing to really gripe about.

“I think it’s working really well,” he said about city council. “I think the mayor does a good job, the council seems to have really good plans and they’re executing really well. If I saw something that was really deficient, I would probably go there and do what most people do — maybe if things got a little bit more out of hand, but not so far.”

Turnout at council meetings differs among area cities. Centennial has a similar turnout to Lone Tree, while Castle Rock and Parker have slightly better numbers, according to meeting attendance data.

Centennial, Castle Rock and Parker — along with many other metro Denver muncipalities — also live stream their council meetings, which Parker Mayor Mike Waid said makes it easier for resi-

dents to stay on top of city happenings.

“We realize that people are busy and may not be able to find the time to attend something as structured as a public meeting,” Waid said in an email.

“Technology has really helped local government agencies like ours reach people where they’re located and at a time that fits with their own personal schedule.”

Lone Tree does not record or stream its city meetings. Minutes, however, are kept of all the meetings so residents can learn about what has happened in that way.

Colorado law does not require a municipality to record or live stream its meetings. It does require minutes to be taken and provided upon approval, which happens at the next meeting two weeks later.

Millet said she believes there’s not enough demand to consider a live stream feature at its meetings.

Citizens reach out on a case-by-case

basis, she said, adding that the city is proactive with resident concerns. Millet said she would rather meet people face to face.

Kevin Bommer, executive director of the Colorado Municipal League, a resource group for local government officials, said engagement looks different from city to city. Some have more involvement at council meetings while others see more interaction behind the scenes.

“One of the things, regardless if they televise it or not, (cities) are always trying to figure out how they can engage the citizens they serve. You’re seeing all sorts of different programs and efforts to do that,” Bommer said. “One of the discussions at the local level of televising or streaming, is ‘Is this going to better help folks connect to their municipal government?’ ... But it’s an ongoing discussion, and those are often budget decisions, and maybe tough ones depending on the municipality.”

Lone Tree officials take advantage of the city’s size to reach residents. They hold Coffee with Council meetings throughout the year. Millet said she tries to make herself accessible outside of council chambers to residents.

And, for the most part, for residents, that’s good enough for now.

“I’ve never had a problem, but if I did I have, no question I feel the right person can get back to me,” said Karen McGlinch, 58, who has lived in Lone Tree for just over one year. “That’s part of the reason I moved here.”

County will add Community Response Team for youths only Mental health experts call idea ‘a phenomenal resource’

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Based on data that shows more than one-third of calls responded to in 2018

by Douglas County’s Community Response Teams — which pair a law enforcement officer with a mental health clinician — were youths between 5 and 19 years old, county commissioners have approved funding to create a unit to work exclusively with young people and schools in the county.

State behavioral health officials say they do not know of any other similar co-responder program in Colorado dedicated solely to youth.

Douglas County’s three CRT units are the result of a project of the Douglas County Mental Health Initiative,a unique partnership of more than 40 public, private and faith-based entities that has been working since 2014 to identify gaps in the county’s mental

health resources and find ways to fill them.

CRTs, also known as co-responder teams, provide a range of services, including directly admitting people in crisis to a facility. But, most often, people are treated, stabilized, provided with resources and allowed to stay in their home. The county created the teams, based on a model in Colorado Springs, to prevent people in crisis from going to jail or the emergency room if mental health treatment was what they truly needed.

The county began piloting the first CRT in May 2017. It added a second in December 2017. One team is based in Castle Rock and works with Castle Rock police, and the other covers unincorporated Douglas County, working with the Douglas County Sheriff ’s Office. The county is planning to add a third this summer, although it is still determining its jurisdiction.

Of the 1,111 individuals helped by CRTs in 2018, the data shows approximately 37 percent were between 5 and 19 years old, according to a CRT annual report. That age population comprised the largest segment of any age group. Calls ranged from disputes

between children and parents to welfare checks on youths who were suicidal.

Deputy County Manager Barbara Drake said this likely reaffirms mental health conditions emerge in adolescence, and it shows a need for schools, law enforcement and mental health professionals to unite.

“It just led us to believe that we needed to work more closely with the schools and with, specifically, the school resource officers to look at how we can connect what is happening in school, what is happening at home, what is happening out in the community, for these young people,” said Drake, who helped spearhead the Mental Health Initiative’s creation.

“We need to connect those dots.”

‘Most stressed generation’ The commissioners’ unanimous decision came on May 28 following community outcry for solutions to school safety and mental health support following the May 7 shooting at STEM School Highlands Ranch. They approved $331,250 for a unit that will work in the school system and the community to provide students men-

tal health and substance-use support.

The money was part of a $13.3 million financial offer from commissioners to local schools.

“I’d like to make sure that the CRT team is getting the information out,” said Commissioner Lora Thomas while speaking with Colorado Community Media the day after the board approved the funds.

Reaction to the $13.3 million proposal varied, with some community members applauding it while others were skeptical of other aspects of the plan. The Douglas County School District’s Board of Education urged commissioners to take more time over its proposal.

All the debate overshadowed the CRT approval, Thomas felt.

Jason Williams, clinical director of the Pediatric Mental Health Institute at Children’s Hospital Colorado, said numerous factors likely contribute to why the CRT sees so many young people, but high-stress among children and poor access to mental health services are two of the most significant.

Swift water is safety focus as snowpack melts Rescuers offer words of caution to Coloradans in search of recreation

Rachel Kohler, an engineer with West Metro Fire Rescue, in the back of the raft, performs a mock swift water rescue on May 31 as part of the training to earn a swift water rescue technician certification.

Kohler is one of 15 firefighters who earned the certification following this training.

BY CHRISTY STEADMAN CSTEADMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Rachel Kohler loves rivers.

“Playing in rivers can be a ton of fun,” she said, “as long as you’re doing it with full knowledge of the risks — and you have a safety plan in place.”

For her profession, Kohler is an engineer with West Metro Fire Rescue. But for recreation, she is a river fishing guide. Though experienced in river activities and knowledgeable about safety precautions, Kohler joined many other professional firefighters across the state this year in earning a swift water rescue certification.

“Each year, we have more and more people recreating in our rivers and lakes,” said Chris Dinges, a fire engineer with the Westminster Fire Department. “It’s imperative to keep our skills sharp so that we’re capable of responding when needed.”

Rescue crews are especially concerned with water safety this year because heavier-than-average snowfall last winter means more runoff is expected.

“There’s a natural allure to moving water,” said Jeff Steinhoff, operations captain and wildland coordinator for the Golden Fire Department.

SEE SAFETY, P21

CHRISTY STEADMAN

WATER SAFETY TIPS Always have water safety equipment: A personal flotation device (PFD), also known as a life jacket or vest, is the No. 1 safety equipment a person can have for any water activity. There are different classifications of PFDs, but for river sports, such as kayaking and tubing, it’s recommended to have at least a Type III or IV. A helmet and shoes are also recommended.

Water and alcohol don’t mix: For those

who are of legal drinking age enjoying water activities at a location where alcohol is permitted, make sure to have at least one person in the party remain sober.

Colorado water is essentially melted snow: Prolonged exposure to cold water can cause hypothermia. Wet suits can help protect from hypothermia, or, for casual swimming, make sure to get out of the water frequently to let your body warm up.

Be aware of your surroundings: Any body of water can have floating debris such as sticks or trash one can easily get tangled in. Know there can be sharp rocks and even broken glass at the bottom of riverbeds and lakes. Before getting in a river, make sure you understand how fast the water is flowing and its depth. If wading in a lake or reservoir that is not a designated swim beach, be aware of any steep drop-offs.

DCSD board denies charter applications Board members support ideas, raise questions with fundamentals

BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Citing limited family interest, resources and budget, the Douglas County School Board unanimously turned down two charter school applications, one with a focus on students with special needs, the other a Montessori school.

“I want to be very clear that I appreciate your passion for these students,” board member Anne-Marie Lemieux said during a June 6 board meeting, when the charters were considered. “I will continue to make sure that we are offering opportunities for all students in our schools that we currently have in Douglas County.”

Here’s a look at what each charter application proposed.

John Dewey Institute Judy Brannberg, who with her husband started what is now STEM School Highlands Ranch, proposed the John Dewey Institute, a K-14 school specifically designed to meet the needs of students on the autism spectrum.

In her plan, Brannberg outlined an enrollment that would consist of 50% students with an autism spectrum disorder diagnosis — of which 15%

would be twice-exceptional students, who are both gifted and have learning challenges — and the other 50% traditional student learners.

The school’s curriculum would emphasize project-based learning in areas of science, technology, engineering, arts, math and business, as well as career and technical education.

A handful of parents of students with special needs spoke in support of the charter, citing their experiences at neighborhood schools, where navigating individualized learning plans and working with staff can be challenges.

Lemieux commended Brannberg for her focus on students with special needs, but the board ultimately denied the charter, expressing doubt in the low number of letters of intent to enroll, the absence of a location and a staff with few special education professionals.

“We certainly have advocated that our charters start looking at being more accessible for students with significant needs,” Lemieux said. “So I think it’s certainly exciting for me to see that our charters and our future applicants are saying yes, we want to do something that specifically acknowledges those students who need that choice.”

Renaissance Montessori Academy Parker-based Renaissance Montessori Academy applied for a new charter contract that would serve students in kindergarten and preschool.

Reverse Mortgage: No Monthly Payment, Get Cash & Pay Off Your Mortgage

I

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

A government insured loan product that allows you to pay off your current mortgage thereby eliminating your monthly mortgage payment can provide the budget breathing-room you need.

Taxes and homeowner’s insurance must still be paid, but many seniors have found that not only can they eliminate their mortgage payment, they can also get tax-free cash to use for any purpose.

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

m

e

cash and make life a little easier.

Get the correct facts. There is a lot of wrong information floating around about reverse mortgages. With a reverse mortgage, no one owns the home but you, and no debt is passed on to your heirs. You will still have substantial equity in your home, and can sell at any time.

Call your local Reverse Mortgage Specialist for more information on your situation and to see if this program will benefit you. You owe it to yourself and your family to know your options, with accurate facts.

TEACHERS FROM PAGE 4

Members of the Douglas County Federation report more than 70 percent of the district’s 4,400 licensed teachers and about 60 percent of the district’s entire staff of 8,100 signed the petition. The number of signatures that came from members of the teachers’ union was not calculated, and the union does not release information on its total membership count. As the local chapter of the American Teachers Federation, the voluntary organization exists to offer a network of professionals in education and professional development opportunities.

“This is a way for us to have a collective voice and be part of the decision making,” Hoegh said in a phone interview a day before the board meeting. “Our school board and our superintendent have consistently voiced their desire to work with teachers and educators, and to me this is exactly what we need, what they need, to be able to do what’s best for our district right now.”

Three seats on the school board are up for reelection in November, and a collective bargaining agreement could be a hot-button issue among voters in Douglas County. Hoegh and other members of the teachers’ union said they wanted to present the petition to the board before the start of next school year.

“I know that people get nervous for political reasons and elections,” Hoegh said. “To me, this isn’t a political mistake, it’s a golden opportunity to make the right decision for our district. Our teachers will be so excited to campaign for the board if they push this through.”

Deciding next steps At the June 4 meeting, Ray listed the school board’s ongoing goals — increasing funds, supporting a strategic planning process, launching a new framework for compensation — as reasons for not recommending the district move forward with the teachers’ request. Many employees have received three raises in the past year, he said. The pay increases have brought the average teacher pay from $53,080 in the 2017-18 school year to $56,082 in the 2018-19 school year, according to data from the Colorado Department of Education.

Ray also pointed to the district’s employee council, an advisory group of 40 employees charged with giving feedback to the superintendent.

Douglas County Federation members, a disappointed Hoegh said, will reconvene to decide their next steps.

“I feel defeated but convinced that when I walk out of this building, someone else is going to have another idea,” Hoegh said. “Because that’s how we work. It’s not one person calling the shots, it’s everyone coming together to think of different ways to help our kids and to help each other.”

Reams of evidence under review in STEM shooting case Suspect appears in court as defense, prosecutors debate time needed to assess discovery

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The older suspect charged in the STEM School Highlands Ranch shooting case appeared before a judge for a brief hearing June 7 in a courtroom filled with supporters of Kendrick Castillo’s parents, also in attendance.

Castillo was the sole fatality in the May 7 tragedy that left eight other students injured. Eighteenth Judicial District Attorney George Brauchler estimated 75 people were in the courtroom or in an overflow area in support of the Castillo family.

The suspected school shooter’s appearance and demeanor changed from his previous hearings. Gone was the shaggy hair dyed half-black and half-pink. He didn’t crumple in his seat with his head hung low, as he had in his first appearance. Instead, his hair was brown and neatly trimmed. He sat upright.

In the front row of the galley sat members of his family, who hugged and looked on at their shackled son,

The presence from members of the 18-year-old Devon Erickson, alSTEM community showed the inthough he did not appear to interact tense interest in the case, Brauchler with them. Behind the Ericksons sat said after the hearing. a row of STEM school and Castillo The purpose of the proceeding was supporters. to schedule a preliminary hearing Among them was Heather Rhoads, for Erickson, who faced 48 charges whose daughter is a sophomore at going into his previous hearing, STEM.

sure if that would happen.

In court, defense attorneys requested Slade schedule the next court appearance in the fall, suggesting an October date. They needed time, they said, to evaluate “the sheer volume” of discovery turned over to them by prosecutors.

That includes more than 6,000 pages of PDF documents and hundreds of gigabytes of media evidence such as video and audio of interviews, body camera and dash camera footage.

Brauchler said it should not take so long for defense attorneys, who he referred to as “high-quality, wellexperienced” attorneys, to evaluate discovery.

“I think that’s excessive,” he told the judge of their request. “A preliminary hearing is not a trial.”

In preliminary hearings, a judge could determine issues around bond and will decide if probable cause exists in the case. Slade set the next hearing for late September and reserved three days for the proceedings.

Before settling on dates, she asked attorneys how long the preliminary hearing would take. Although Brauchler said half a day at most, defense attorneys said two to three days.

Brauchler spoke with reporters following the hearing where he repeated his belief it should not take months for discovery evaluation.

T

he greatest risk I am willing to take is grocery shopping in Douglas County on a Saturday afternoon.

It is an electrifying episode of “Supermarket Sweep” conjoined with a dress rehearsal for “Lord of the Flies.”

Get ready for some alliteration: It is carts and kids and confusion. Grandparents and grandchildren. Half are leaning over a phone, and the other half are looking in one direction and walking in another.

I go as punishment. If I have done something wrong, impermissible to my code, during the week, I feel a need to be punished.

It is not Catholic. It is Harry and Shirley, who instilled values in me I can’t shake.

I camp in nice hotels, with hot and cold running toilets, and bedding than isn’t visited by ravenous bears.

I have left it all to others to share with me what they have done. Like that Bourdain fellow, who went around the world, ate things that most of us wouldn’t, and explored the rich veins of other cultures.

I explore my refrigerator.

Thoreau stayed in one place his entire life, including two years in a 15 x 10 cabin. He wrote “Walden” about it, which Robert Louis Stevenson chided for being “womanly,” because Thoreau

A LETTER TO THE EDITOR In defense of the Electoral College Per Article II of the U.S. Constitution, our president is not elected by the popular vote of citizens.

Instead, the president is elected by the Electoral College. While this has alarmed seemingly many Coloradans — to the point where our state government passed legislation with aim of circumventing it — the Electoral College is both a good and completely justifiable way to choose our president.

Some decry the Electoral College as controversially distancing the will of the people from the decision.

If the president were elected by popular vote, they would be prone to the corruption of the resulting mobrule popularity contest that would ensue. Victory in the Electoral College requires more than popularity, according to Alexander Hamilton.

Being a schoolteacher was plenty risky, let me tell you. And it is a much greater risk now to tend a classroom in America.

The risks I experienced were the slings of “C” students. They could be formidable.

Colleagues inflated grades, insuring some buffer; but, again, I could hear Harry and Shirley, reminding me of my duty.

Keeping commitments we make to ourselves

s any good salesperson or sales manager will tell you, getting a “verbal” commitment or a “verbal” yes from a prospect, without a signed agreement or authorized transaction, just doesn’t WINNING get the job done. As a matter of fact, it’s worse WORDS than just not getting the job done, this practice fills their sales pipeline with fluff and keeps the salesperson focused on the wrong opportunities and investing their time and energy on potential business that will most likely never materialize.

Michael Norton Verbal commitments are not just a salesperson’s woes: The verbal commitments we make to ourselves and never fulfill impact our lives in so many ways as we never quite close the transaction. And sooner or later our goals and dreams become just another lost opportunity.

We commit to certain behaviors. We commit to living in a different way. We commit to pursuing our dreams and passions. We commit to changing or breaking a bad habit. Sometimes we make these commitments and actually

say the words out loud. And other times we make the commitment within the safety of our own heart and mind. And what happens in most cases when we have under-committed or failed to commit to an agreement with ourselves, is that we tend to give up or lose more often than we win.

Although it may seem like it, this is not all bad news. The fact that we are having positive thoughts and making “verbal” commitments to ourselves is an indicator that we know we need to make a change or want something different in our lives. We want to make a change that aligns with the things we are most passionate about in this life. We want to alter something that is having a negative impact on our health or in our relationships. So, knowing that our intent is good, we just need to live up to the fulfillment and to our commitments.

This is why it is so extremely important to write down our goals. By writing down our goals we are turning our “verbal” commitment with ourselves into a form of an agreement. We are contracting with ourselves to commit to doing what we said we will do when we said we will do it, changing what we

Superintendent outlines district’s safety, mental health measures

A

month has passed since the tragic event at STEM School Highlands Ranch, which will forever change our community. I continue to be touched by the outpouring of support and love as we work to support our students – both those who attend STEM as well as those attending all DCSD schools. The way our community has come together is a true indicator of our unity of purpose — the 68,000 students who attend Douglas County Schools.

Over the past few weeks we have received numerous phone calls, emails and public comments from parents and community members who are understandably afraid, angry and hurting. Many want reassurance that their children will be safe in their schools when they start the 2019-20 school year. As a father and a grandfather, I understand these emotions. We are working through incredible heartache that will take many days, weeks, months and, perhaps, years to recover.

Thanks to those of you who have provided us with input about how best to keep our students safe. I want you to know we are listening to your feedback and will refer to it as we look to build upon our current, comprehensive safety plan.

In addition to the research-based security protocols being implemented in our schools, I want to outline several steps DCSD is taking for additional security measures. These security enhancements have already been in the works thanks to additional funding made possible by the passage of a $40 million mill levy override and $250 million bond this past November. Please understand that we cannot publicly disclose every detail of our security initiatives in order to protect them from being compromised. At the same time, we recognize the need to provide reassurances that immediate actions for improvements are taking place.

Mental health and prevention Funding from the mill levy over-

ride is enabling us to provide additional counselors to schools to meet the social and emotional needs of our students. Eightyfive additional counselors will be in place in DCSD’s district-run schools by the beginning of Thomas Tucker the 2019-20 school year. Each of our elementary schools will now have a counselor.

In addition, the ratio of counselorto-student in the middle and high schools will significantly improve from one counselor per 350 students to one counselor per 250 students.

All counselors are licensed by the Colorado Department of Education.

In order to receive that license, individuals must have a master’s degree in school counseling. The majority of that coursework is mental healthbased. Increasing the accessibility to mental health providers will result in building strong relationships with all students during their school career.

Physical safety and security All schools fully implement the Standard Response Protocol (SRP), which provides students, staff and first responders with common language and procedures for emergency situations.

Funding from the bond further enhances physical security in each one of our school buildings — including neighborhood and charter schools. For example, during the 2018-19 school year, each school (neighborhood and charter) was provided with new digital, two-way radios that directly communicate to law enforcement and our security dispatch center in the event of an emergency. It was through these radios that law enforcement received its first emergency call from STEM enabling them to be on site in minutes.

other states. As such, it is imperative that a presidential candidate strive to appeal to people in all states. The Electoral College provides incentive to do so.

To advocate against the electoral college is to dismiss the opinions of those living in states outside of populated states. To advocate against the Electoral College is to shoot Colorado in the foot in presidential elections.

The Electoral College ensures that presidential candidates campaign here — that we do not become mere fly-over country.

Improvements also include upgrading building cameras, tightening access points to our buildings, along with other physical security enhancements to harden our schools. DCSD continuously provides our school staff and students with training and drills related to school safety. And, we continue to offer our students, staff and families access to Safe2Tell and Texta-Tip, where suspicious behavior, threats, or other concerns can be anonymously reported.

One of the first actions DCSD’s current Board of Education took nearly two years ago was to reactivate the district’s Safety Committee.

Members include law enforcement partners, community members, parents, teachers, principals, Board of Education directors and experts in the field of mental health, physical safety and security. The committee

meets monthly to review DCSD’s current safety and security procedures and recommends revisions and enhancements on an ongoing basis.

The safety of each and every one of our 68,000 students is a priority for Douglas County School District.

We will continue to work with our law enforcement partners, security experts, community members, families and others to ensure that implementation of a comprehensive safety and security plan is always evolving. We know that keeping students safe is a community effort, and we are grateful for the feedback, ideas and for all of the incredible support during these difficult weeks.

Thomas Tucker is the superintendent of the Douglas County School District.

How to help teens balance time on and off social media

BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

S

ummer is here, which typically means teenagers have more free time on their hands. And their hands may often be even more busy with their smartphones as they try to stay in touch with friends and fill the void normally occupied by school.

But while popular apps like Snapchat and Instagram have some benefit, mental health experts agree that in most cases human-to-human interaction is far more beneficial.

Finding a healthy balance of time spent on and off social media can be a challenge. According to 2018 study by Pew Research, 95% of U.S. teens ages 13 to 17 have access to a smartphone, and 45% say they are online “almost constantly.” Roughly one-third of participants said they visited Snapchat or YouTube most often.

Mental health experts recommend one to two hours of screen time a day and no more than 10 hours per week.

Too much time spent on devices can take away from positive face-to-face activities, disrupt sleep and in turn disrupt mental health, and potentially hurt self-esteem.

“As kids spend more time on (social media), there is a much higher likelihood that it is going to become more detrimental than beneficial because

teens are very comparative with one another,” said Dr. Sarah Davidon, research director at Mental Health Colorado, a nonprofit organization that advocates for the treatment and prevention of mental health and substance-use disorders. “It starts getting really hard on teens, who, even without social media, are not as confident with themselves at different ages in their lives.”

The good news is that summer doesn’t have to be spent in the pervasive world of technology. Balance is possible with the help of some good old-fashioned fun.

Get outside Dr. Bruno Anthony, who specializes in psychology at Children’s Hospital Colorado, stresses the importance of putting down the phone and engaging in physical activity, whether that be hiking, playing a sport or taking a walk with friends.

“We know that there is a strong relation between obesity and screen time,” Anthony said.

Davidon, too, emphasized the link between brain and body. Physical health and activity leads to positive mental health, she said. She recommends even the simplest of outdoor activities: coloring with chalk on the sidewalk or getting a snow cone and taking a walk as a family.

“If our bodies are healthy, if we are keeping our bodies fit and well maintained through exercise, what we eat and how we sleep, then our brains are much more likely to be healthier,” Davidon said.

Research shows that being outdoors also allows kids to get a healthy dose of

vitamin D from the sun, develop an appreciation for nature and learn to take risks, like climb a tree. If young people are kept in a bubble, Harvard Medical School reports, they “may not have the confidence and bravery to face life’s inevitable risks.”

Try socializing in person Mental health experts agree that social media benefits teens by helping them connect and make plans with one another, reducing loneliness. But social media can’t replace all face-to-face interaction.

Kamala Vanderkolk, of Highlands Ranch, has hosted exchange students

for the past three years. Her most recent student, a senior at ThunderRidge High School, developed what Vanderkolk explains as an addiction to communicating with others via Snapchat. The app has a feature called “streaks” that counts how many times two people message back and forth.

“She was getting too anxious about keeping the artificial thing going,” Vanderkolk said, adding that when she stopped using the app, some peers stopped talking to her.

Vanderkolk convinced her student to ease off of the app and try spending time with her friends in person.

The student began engaging in other activities — exploring downtown Denver with friends, trying out new restaurants and taking drives to the mountains.

“She was kind of relieved ultimately to get that time back so she could spend time with people she cared about rather than keeping this artificial contest going,” Vanderkolk said. “She would, in general, do more things with the people who she genuinely wanted to spend time with.”

Anthony encourages teens to get out of the house and go to the movies or the mall with others. “You want to limit as much as you can those kinds of sedentary activities and encourage interactions,” he said.

Remember it’s OK to be bored Summer can bring added stress to parents, who may feel like they have to plan a list of activities for the days and hours their children would otherwise be in school.

Davidon reminds those parents that it’s OK for children and teens to be bored, with no activity or screen.

“It’s great to spend time with your kids but that doesn’t mean you have to plan something every moment of the day,” Davidon said. “It can mean you just take a walk or go catch butterflies.”

Boredom is healthy, Davidon said, as it is a chance for young people to be “inventive.”

“They might kick and scream but that’s OK,” Davidon said. “Parents aren’t bad parents if their kids are bored.”

We become one step closer with each review of what we have written down, and we become one step closer to meeting and exceeding our expectations.

A “verbal” yes in sales that leads to a signed agreement is awesome.

Getting a “no” in sales is also good, not as good as getting a “yes” but still much better than getting a “maybe” or a “think it over”. The same holds true for our own commitments. If it is going to be a “yes,” than we need to write it down and make the commitment. If it is going to be a “no,” or “no for now,” than we need to dismiss it until we can

SAFETY FROM PAGE 6

He is a hobbyist kayaker and has about 17 years’ experience with the department’s swift water rescue team. “It can look pretty inviting (and) it’s refreshing.

But it’s dangerous. Swift water rescue is the most dangerous thing I do as a firefighter.”

Although usually associated with rivers, swift water can be any form of moving water. This includes lakes, reservoirs and flooded areas.

“Even slow-moving water can cause a fatality,” said Robert Baker, a firefighter with South Metro Fire Rescue who is an instructor for the department’s Dive Team, which includes swift water rescue.

Use a personal flotation device, also known as a life jacket or vest, anytime you’re going to be near the water, Baker said. Especially children, he added.

“They’re not going to like it at first,”

CHARTER FROM PAGE 7

Led by a Montessori-certified teacher and teacher’s assistant, each classroom would have a 1:10 adult-to-child ratio.

Curriculum would integrate social and emotional skills into the academic areas of art, communication, culture, language, practical life, math, music and sensory awareness, according to the charter’s website.

Baker said, “but it’s better to be safe than sorry.”

People often don’t realize how cold Colorado’s natural bodies of water are, Steinhoff said. When a person is cold, movements can be slowed and immediate reactions delayed, making self-rescue even more difficult, he added.

“Shivering is the first sign of hypothermia,” Steinhoff said. “Make sure to get out of the water every once in a while, to let your body warm up. Wrap up in a dry towel or put dry clothes on. The key is to dry off.”

Thermo-protection, also known as a wet suit, is recommended for anyone participating in water activities for a prolonged period of time, Steinhoff added.

Another hazard not often associated with swift water are floods, said Dave Dame, a firefighter with West Metro Fire Rescue and a swift water rescue instructor.

“I’m all for heading out to the river for a picnic,” Dame said. “Just don’t get in the water unless you’re properly trained and have the appropriate equipment.”

Board members lauded the Montessori learning model but ultimately denied the request, citing a limited plan for serving students with special needs, limited mental health resources and no detail on insurance coverage, among other concerns.

“The narrative makes a commitment to having qualified staff but does not identify a process to ensure the students are supported with credentialed individuals, and the funding for services is extremely limited,” board member Christina Ciancio-Schor said. “For those reasons I vote to deny.”

CRT FROM PAGE 6

He cited a report from the American Psychological Association that examined Generation Z, an age group that witnessed 9/11, has grown up in a world with mass shootings, active shooter drills and, according to the study, is most likley to report poor mental health.

“A lot of our kids are getting to crisis points,” he said. “They are the most stressed generation on the planet right now.”

Williams also pointed to the alarming youth suicide rates in Colorado, a leading cause of death for age groups under 24.

Between 2015 and 2017 in Colorado, 222 people died by suicide between the ages of 10 and 18, according to a report from the Colorado Office of the Attorney General.

He applauded the county’s decision to add a youth-focused CRT. “It’s a phenomenal resource,” Williams said. “I’m really super happy to hear that those teams exist.”

Step in the right direction Exactly what the youth CRT will look like, and when it will start, is unclear.

But Beverly Kingston, direc-

tor of The Center for the Study and Prevention of Violence at the University of ColoradoBoulder, also called it a step in the right direction.

The center has long recommended the creation of interagency social support teams to work with youths on their mental health needs. She wasn’t familiar with the details of how Douglas County’s youth CRT would work, but believes it “sounds like a good strategy” based on research recommendations.

Kingston envisions a future with a well-funded infrastructure that focuses as much on prevention as it does crisis response, including emotional education beginning at a young age and school-based teams that listen to students while working to create a positive and safe environment.

In the past 20 years, Kingston said law enforcement has learned a substantial amount about responding to crisis events and is prepared to handle them. Less money and attention has been given to prevention.

“The key to stopping these shootings is to put what we know works to prevent violence in place,” she said. “I think we haven’t consistently been doing that across the nation and we can do a better job, and so that’s what we need to collectively understand.”

The Bible Speaks – Nations Tomorrow, June 14, is Flag Day when we honor our nation’s flag that symbolizes all that is dear to us: life, liberty & the pursuit of happiness. Long may it wave “o’re the land of the free & the home of the brave”, our beloved nation.

God established nations (Gen 11:8,9). He sets their times & boundaries (Acts 17:26). He sets up their rulers & deposes them (Dan 2:21). The governing authorities are established by God & they rule by His permission & directive (Rom 13:1-5). God will prosper any nation that recognizes & honors Him (Ps 33:12).

Nations will never cease. Israel will be the predominant nation in Christ’s future earthly kingdom (Isa 2:1-4) but other nations & their kings will bring glory & honor to it (Rev 21:24). What a wonderful time that will be. Come Lord Jesus. hfsmail@basicisp.net

Perseverance, love of competition set track athletes apart Nugent, Hall, Sprout honored for high school achievements

Valor Christian’s Anna Hall is the Colorado Community Media South Metro Girls Track Athlete of the year.

BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Valor Christian’s Anna Hall and Drake Nugent of Highlands Ranch finished their high school track and field careers with rewarding seasons.

Cole Sprout of Valor Christian lived up to expectations.

Hall was named the 2019 Colorado Community Media South Metro Girls Track Athlete of the Year while Nugent and Sprout were co-winners of the boys Track Athlete of the Year award.

An ankle injury kept Hall out of action for more than five weeks before the May 16-18 state meet, but she recovered in time to win two individual events and run on two state champion record-setting relays.

Hall, a senior headed for the University of Georgia who set a national pentathlon record with 4,302 points in February, won the 100-meter hurdles (14.18) and the 300 hurdles (41.70) to give her seven individual career 4A and 5A state titles. She also anchored two record-setting relay teams, 1:37.00 in the 4x200 and meet record in the 4x400.

“If I could pick a word for my season it would probably be perseverance” said Hall. “I overcame a lot just to just

being able to run at the state meet. We all had to step up our game this year in 5A and I’m really proud of all of us for rising to the occasion. There are some events in 4A that are a little bit stronger and then there are some events in 5A that are stronger. But overall 5A has a lot more depth.”

Valor coach Brian Kula expects more from Hall.

“She has a bright future,” said Kula.

“She has all the tools and the right work ethic. She has the opportunity to do something special overall in track and field.”

Nugent, a lineman who will be playing football at Stanford, won his third consecutive 5A state shot put championship with a throw of 56-02.76 coming off an injury-plagued senior football season.

“This year was my biggest competition,” he said. “I knew the Valor kid (discus champion Cian Quiroga) was a spinner, and spinners usually have to get everything right with their technique to throw that far. A 62-feet throw is impressive. I didn’t know if he was going to hit that again.

Creek athlete makes waves Cherry Creek senior swimmer Brendan Eckerman JIM BENTON

Brendan Eckerman saluted as Boys Swimmer of Year

BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Senior Brendan Eckerman will always remember the fun he had swimming for Cherry Creek this season.

He competed in three previous CHSAA Class 5A State Swimming Championships with second place as his best finish, but this season he climbed to the top of the awards podium four times.

Eckerman, who will move up a level and swim at Wisconsin next season, helped lead Creek to the state team title and is the 2019 Colorado Community Media South Metro Boys Swimmer of the Year.

He was first in the 50 freestyle with a time of 20.69 and captured the state championship in the 100 freestyle in 45.62.

Eckerman was the anchor on two relay teams that won state titles.

The 200-yard freestyle relay team of Nikolas Silolahti, Tommy Salvetti, Blake Jorgens and Eckerman won in 1:24.73.

He capped off a banner state meet by teaming with Silolahti, Lars Hanna and Bryce Ortanes in winning the 400 freestyle relay with a time of 3:04.20.

“I had the most fun this season,” admitted Eckerman. “I worked the hardest this season. It was great all year. I had a great state meet. I won or was part of the winning team in every event I swan.

That was definitely a great feeling.”

TRACK FROM PAGE 29

“Part of me feels kind of lucky that he wasn’t on. I also worked pretty hard for it. I didn’t throw as far as I would have liked but it was good enough. This title meant the most just because my sophomore year no one was that impressive. Last year I threw like 55 feet and won by like 5 feet. This year I knew I had the competition.”

As it turned out, Highlands Ranch coach Lou Krauss feels the competition might have helped Nugent.

“Drake has tremendous work ethic,” said Krauss. “He has grown in strength

and technique due to his efforts in the weight room and the practice field.

He is almost OCD when it comes to attention to detail. He is the ultimate competitor. He looks forward to being challenged and going against the best whether it is football or throwing.”

Sprout , a junior, set a Colorado prep 3,200 record of 9:01.53 this spring, won the 1,500 run at the Class 5A state track meet in 9:11.84 and also won the 1,600 in 4:13.78. He won both events in 2018 at the 4A state track meet and is a two-time state individual state cross country champion.

“A lot of people expected me to win,” said Sprout. “I’ve learned to block out the pressure the best I can. I love to compete.”

Summer is a prime time for educators seeking new positions While studenzts across the nation are celebrating the completion of another school year and getting into summer fun, teachers and educations professionals may only be taking a short break as they prepare for a new position.

When it comes to searching for a new job, most industries are essentially stagnant during the summer months. CEOs taking vacations, budgets looking thin for a new fiscal year, and many plan on waiting until the New Year. However, that’s opposite for schools and colleges.

Schools have just under three months to make sure staffing levels are where they need them to be, which means they will be updating the “help wanted” section of their websites and going out searching.

For the educator, that means updating resumes with

current information, looking in districts near your home, and researching each district and what they have to offer. Start submitting for the open positions that fit your goals of advancement or change.

Districts aim to get new stuff under contract quickly, which means your window for finding the new position is only open for so long. Most schools conduct job interviews throughout the month of June and in early July before administrators take a short break themselves.

If you want to wait a bit longer to see what happens with your current position, late July and early August are also big interview months in education.

Administrators are returning from a short break and reviewing positions that are still open and assessing the school’s needs.
