In-person learning remains on track Elementary class sizes would return to near normal, staffers say Merlin Klotz, the Douglas County clerk and recorder, poses for a portrait in front of one of the county’s ballot drop boxes.

“The issue of mail-in ballot security is not a problem for anyone that I’ve spoken with on the Democratic side,” she said. “I have complete faith in (Democratic Secretary of State) Jena Griswold.”

Klotz expects that because of the amount of disinformation regarding the election, he and his staff may see more people show up to the county’s 20 in-person voting places. Usually, only 5% of Douglas County voters choose this option, he said.

“We have no idea what kind of space constraints we could run into,” he said. “There could be lines unnecessarily.”

Jones said he has heard from quite a few Republican voters in the county who are asking about how to vote in person.

The county may also see an influx of poll watchers, a group of volunteers representing a political party who monitor an election. The Trump campaign is asking for volunteers

The Douglas County School District is continuing preparations to send elementary school students back to full in-person learning this month after the school board received an update from district staff on the progress of plans.

The school board held a study session on the matter — discussions in which no formal action is required — during its Oct. 6 board meeting. Staff provided a look at how a student’s day might differ once back to 100% in-person learning, staffing needs and where the community’s COVID-19 data currently sit.

The district has a goal of returning elementary students to in-person learning by Oct. 19.

As predicted, worsening COVID-19 statistics followed the Labor Day holiday, staff said, something numerous parents expressed concern about during public comment.

Some parents worried about health concerns, while others felt children would be confused and further disrupted if the district has to reverse course and switch back to a hybrid or online learning model.

Parents pointed to the district dashboard, which scores the district’s

Douglas County Dems, GOP trust voting process Officials recommend voting early and using drop boxes

BY ELLIOTT WENZLER EWENZLER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

While opposite ends of the political spectrum in Douglas County may not agree on much, they do seem to agree on one thing: Residents can trust the voting system here.

In a series of interviews with Colorado Community Media, representatives of the local Republican and Democratic parties said they take no issue with how ballots are being processed in Douglas County. County Clerk and Recorder Merlin Klotz said despite the national narrative about concerns around mail-in ballots, to him and his staff, this year is no different than past elections.

“In light of all the public noise that’s out there right now,” Klotz

said, “it’s business as usual.”

Klotz, a Republican, said the panic among some surrounding the voting system in Colorado is totally unnecessary.

“I think there’s a lot Jones of hype out there that’s scaring people about the mail-out ballot,” he said. “In some states I’d have to agree, but not in Colorado.”

Andy Jones, a spokesman for the county GOP, said he’s Duggan not concerned at all about the process in Douglas County.

“I feel very confident when I turn in my ballot,” he said.

Karen Duggan, communications manager for the county’s Democratic Party, also said she feels the system here is secure and that her fellow Democrats agree.

Race for 18th Judicial District Attorney hits boiling point Allegations of racism, lies and political ambushes swirl amid election

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Tensions in the hotly contested race for 18th Judicial District Attorney have hit a boiling point amid allegations of racism, lies and political ambushes.

A heated confrontation unfolded Oct. 5 during a candidate debate held by the Public Safety Advisory Committee, a nonpartisan citizen group that advises the Douglas County sheriff, at the Corner Bakery in Padden

Highlands Ranch.

Republican John Kellner and Democrat Amy Padden are running to succeed term-limited George Brauchler. Kellner attended the event, which was changed to a Q&A interview with Kellner him. Padden said she had a scheduling conflict and did not attend.

Padden’s campaign manager, Kat Traylor, posted a tear-stricken video to her Facebook profile following the debate saying she was kicked out by organizers. The post was reacted to more than 500 times, shared more than 600 times and received more than 600

comments as of Oct. 8.

The video shows Traylor speaking from her vehicle in a dark parking lot outside the venue. She said she arrived at the restaurant before closing and ordered a meal while waiting for the debate event, which was closed to the general public and held after 7 p.m., when the restaurant closed to patrons.

Traylor said she was still eating shortly after closing time, as the event’s 7:30 p.m. start approached.

That’s when Traylor said Kory Nelson, chairman of the Public Safety Advisory Committee, confronted her and “demanded that I leave right away.”

In her video, Traylor recalled saying, “I’m a paying customer, I’m going to finish my food that I paid for.”

Traylor, who is Black, said another committee Traylor member then told her to sit in the back of the restaurant to eat her food if she would not take it to go.

“I was being told to take my food and sit in the back of the (expletive) restaurant like Nelson some dog,” she said in the video as she broke into tears. “I’ve never been so humiliated in my life. I’ve never been asked to sit in the back of a restaurant ever.”

Nelson said the committee’s secretary, Jeri Lockwood, had joined his conversation with Traylor in an attempt to be helpful.

Lockwood offered the compromise

of allowing Traylor to finish her meal away from where committee members were setting up the debate area and then being escorted out the back of the restaurant when finished, Nelson said.

“I said, ‘Are you seriously telling a Black woman to go in the back of the restaurant to finish her meal?’”

Traylor said. “And she doubled down and said, ‘Yes.’ I didn’t know how to respond.”

Lockwood could not be reached for comment for this article.

Traylor found the incident eerily reminiscent of systemic racism from the 1940s and 1950s — when Jim Crow laws and segregation ruled daily life.

“There was a time where Black people were asked to sit in the back of the restaurant and get their food to go in the back of a restaurant because we weren’t good enough to be inside the restaurant,” Traylor said in the video.

“I can’t really articulate what this feels like right now.”

Traylor said in an Oct. 6 interview with Colorado Community Media that the moment felt like an out-of-body experience. She and her husband felt powerless to protect themselves, she said.

Traylor’s husband, vice president of the Aurora Public Schools Board of Education Kevin Cox, attended the event with her in hopes of serving as a surrogate for Padden.

Cox had already introduced the couple as Padden’s representatives to Nelson before the confrontation, both Traylor and Nelson confirmed.

Nelson said he told Cox that surrogates were against debate rules and had later asked the couple to leave because of COVID-19 attendance restrictions. Traylor disputed that debate attendees were closely following pandemic precuations and did not believe that was the true reason she was asked to leave.

Instructions sent to each candidate said campaign staff would not be allowed inside, only the candidates and committee members, although Kellner’s campaign manager was present with him throughout the event, Kellner said.

Kellner said he arrived to the debate expecting Padden to be there and did not know Padden’s campaign declined the invitation.

“If she had said, ‘I am the campaign manager,’ maybe we could have had a different conversation,” Nelson said.

“I know we are talking about nuances.”

Deputy arrives Cox eventually suggested that he and Traylor leave, and the couple joined five friends standing outside the building. The group waited there discussing what to do next, Traylor said.

That’s when a Douglas County Sheriff ’s Office deputy arrived.

Dispatch records show a caller asked for increased patrol for the debate at approximately 7:50 p.m., saying there was a group of protesters outside the building.

The caller’s identity is redacted and their voice was removed from a recording of the call provided to Colorado Community Media through a public records request, and a verbatim transcript does not exist, a records custodian said.

The deputy’s body camera footage shows him walking up to a group of four people and speaking with Cox. Traylor is not present and does not interact with the deputy.

The deputy spends several minutes

talking to the group, including asking a woman why she is recording the interaction and if she planned to post the video on YouTube. The deputy said he was “very media averse. I don’t want to be on anything. I just want to do my job.”

“I’m always going to give you a hard time holding up a camera,” he said.

The deputy spoke briefly with two other people as he left and checked on a neighboring business before leaving the area, finding no criminal activity.

Nelson said he did not ask anyone to call law enforcement and he did not have firsthand knowledge of who did.

“I’m sorry that (Traylor) perceived the offer of a compromise as somehow being insensitive,” Nelson said. “Her race had nothing to do with this as far as we are concerned, as far as the objective facts are concerned.”

He called the incident with Traylor a setup and politically motivated.

“Amy Padden should be embarrassed and fire her as far as I’m concerned,” Nelson said.

Nelson said he had not watched all of Traylor’s video posted to Facebook and called her allegations “a sideshow,” urging people to watch the debate video instead.

“I don’t really care,” he said. “I don’t particularly care to empower her or give her any credence whatsoever.”

Debating the debate Traylor said she spoke to Nelson by phone in September, informing him Padden’s campaign was declining to participate in the debate. The committee then proceeded to promote the debate, she said, forcing the Padden campaign’s hand.

“We did not agree to this debate, and they kept advertising it as if we had because they wanted to pull this political stunt,” Padden said.

Padden said she was “outraged at the way (Traylor) was treated.”

She originally declined to participate for several reasons, but also because Nelson has expressed support for her opponent and has openly criticized her on social media, she said.

Traylor said she feared a political ambush when declining the invitation and made unsuccessful attempts at getting the committee to stop promoting the event.

Padden, a prosecutor in the 11th Judicial District, declined to come for the final time the day of the debate because of a court scheduling conflict, she said.

“Because they wouldn’t take (the social media posts) down, I didn’t want them to say, ‘Amy didn’t show up,’ so I sent surrogates,” Padden said.

Nelson told a different story.

Traylor left their conversation openended, he said, telling him she would talk to Padden about attending and get back to him. Nelson said he did not hear from the campaign from that point.

“Never would have done that. We would have converted it to an interview,” he said. “This Kat person is lying, and I think Amy should be embarrassed as (expletive) as to how she’s acting.”

Padden and Traylor said they were disappointed the restaurant owner allowed a customer to be treated the way Traylor was; they hope the sheriff will address the committee’s conduct; and they criticized Kellner for remaining silent during the incident.

Board confirms pick for interim superintendent

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The Douglas County School Board has confirmed Corey Wise as interim superintendent and approved his contract. Wise, who previously served as an executive director of schools, was moved forward as the sole finalist to fill the post that became vacant when Thomas Tucker resigned.

The board voted 5-0 to Wise confirm Wise on Oct. 6, with directors Kevin Leung and Christina Ciancio-Schor abstaining.

Tucker resigned as superintendent in September, citing personal and family matters. Tucker had been placed on paid administrative leave prior to his resignation following allegations of workplace discrimination, according to the district.

Directors held a brief debate about abstaining before the vote, as board President David Ray declined to accept some reasons for Leung’s and CiancioSchor’s abstentions.

Leung initially said he was not present for the meeting where direc-

tors chose Wise as the finalist but also said he did not want his vote to send the wrong message and would abstain because of that.

Ray said he could not accept Leung’s desire not to “send a wrong message” as a reason to abstain.

Ciancio-Schor also noted she was not present for the vote selecting Wise as the finalist but also said she was not sure if she supported confirming him as interim superintendent. Ray declined to accept her uncertainty around supporting Wise’s confirmation as a reason to abstain.

Both directors ultimately said they would abstain because of their absence at the previous meeting, which Ray accepted.

“If you need that reason, I will give that reason,” Ciancio-Schor said.

Multiple directors said they received overwhelming support for Wise as superintendent, including Leung, but he also noted receiving concern from some parents in the special education community about Wise’s selection.

Wise’s contract stipulates a $220,000 annual salary. His term was scheduled to begin Oct. 9 and end June 30, a period in which the district will search for a permanent superintendent.

Roadway construction begins

BY NICK PUCKETT NPUCKETT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Construction on the Cottonwood Drive Widening Project began Oct. 5. Two additional lanes, one in each direction, will be built along Cottonwood Drive between Cottonwood Way and Jordan Road. The project is scheduled to finish by 2022.

The centerpiece of the $11 million project is the construction of a second bridge next to the existing one. The project includes $8 million in funding from Parker’s urban renewal authority, Partnering for Parker’s Progress (P3).

The current Cottonwood Bridge, built in the 1980s, will be renovated as well. Construction on the new bridge over Cherry Creek begins this winter.

Roadway widening is expected to begin next spring and continue throughout 2021, according to the town’s website, ParkerOnline.org.

While the area undergoes construction, the Cottonwood Trailhead for the Cherry Creek Trail and associated parking lot is expected to be closed Oct. 15 through the end of 2021. That area will be used for staging by the contractors, the town’s website says.

The Cottonwood Trailhead will be reconstructed and have additional parking spots installed.

A new traffic signal will be added at the intersection of Cottonwood Drive and Apache Plume Drive.

Possible victims of pharmacist sought

BY ELLIOTT WENZLER EWENZLER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Deputies in the Douglas County Sheriff ’s Office have announced that they are searching for potential victims of a Teller County man arrested on sexual assault charges in June.

The man, Brent Stein, 46, worked as a pharmacist and once lived in Parker.

Stein, who is out on bond in Teller County, was arrested on three counts of sexual assault on June 21.

“On Aug. 26, 2020, our detective reopened a 2016 sexual assault investigation that listed Stein as a suspect,” according to the Douglas County release.

Now, DCSO is looking for others who

may have been victims of Stein’s or have any other information.

“Right now we are just looking for anyone who might have any information about additional sex assaults he may have committed,” DCSO spokesperson Lauren Childress said. “Specifically, anyone who may be a victim.”

Stein was arrested after a woman reported that he gave her unprescribed medication and then sexually assaulted her when she became incapacitated, according to a news release from Teller County.

Anyone with information can contact DCSO Detective Stephanie Dorrell at 303-814-7131 or Teller County Detective Y. Bisset at 719-304-5756.

Adams, Arapahoe, Douglas counties at risk of tighter restrictions COVID-19 upswing could mean reduced capacity for businesses, worship, other gatherings

• In Douglas, 400 new cases and eight new hospitalizations were reported.

If trends don’t change, tighter restrictions could take effect around late October for Arapahoe and Douglas counties and early November for Adams, according to John Douglas, Tri-County’s executive director.

What causes a change?

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

On the heels of their first notably sustained increases in rates of new COVID-19 cases since July, Adams, Arapahoe, and Douglas counties must slow the spread or face tighter restrictions, a news release from Tri-County Health Department announced.

The three counties each stand at risk of moving to a more restrictive level on what officials call Colorado’s COVID-19 “dial,” the framework that lays out which level of social distancing policy a county must operate under.

A tighter level could mean reduced capacity for businesses, places of worship and gatherings — and earlier last-call times for bars and restaurants, Tri-County’s release said.

Colorado’s dial framework has five levels: The stay-at-home policy is the most restrictive, and the loosest is the “protect our neighbors” phase that only a handful of counties have qualified for so far. That phase is likely months away for Denver metro counties.

The vast majority of the state operates under the updated safer-athome policy, which the state broke into three levels in September and

e t o V

makes up the middle three notches in the dial. As of Oct. 8, Arapahoe and Douglas are listed under the least restrictive safer-at-home level, and Adams falls under the middle level.

Since early September, Adams, Arapahoe and Douglas counties have seen the first notably sustained increase in their rates of new cases since July, according to data from Tri-County Health, the public health agency for those counties. The change has been most pronounced in Adams, less so in Arapahoe and

milder in Douglas.

Arapahoe County’s rate of new cases per 100,000 over a two-week period was 121.7 as of Oct. 2. That’s up from 76.2 as of Sept. 17.

Between Sept. 24 and Oct. 7, according to Tri-County, the following increases occurred: • About 1,400 new cases and 52 new hospitalizations were reported in Adams County; • About 890 new cases and 39 new hospitalizations were reported in Arapahoe;

Officials must pivot to strategies Tri-County and the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment are working with the three counties on individual mitigation plans to help reduce the number of new cases, the news release said.

For example, Arapahoe’s mitigation plan has included steps such as producing a public information campaign to increase awareness of the county’s COVID-19 statistics and conducting business roundtables with public health experts to address industry- and site-specific questions.

Arapahoe’s plan may see modifications, though, according to Tri-County.

“We all need to step up our prevention measures to reduce transmission and keep our counties open,” Douglas, the executive director, said in the news release. “That means we need to limit the number of activities we participate in. You’re more likely to get COVID-19 from someone you know and spend time with than a stranger.”

Douglas County government works on mitigation plan

BY ELLIOTT WENZLER EWENZLER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

For the second time since July, Douglas County has been warned that an increase in COVID-19 cases could result in new limitations related to stopping the spread of the virus.

The warning, from Tri-County Health Department, was also sent to Adams and Arapahoe counties, according to a Tri-County news release.

Douglas County government was working on a mitigation plan to slow the spread, scheduled to be completed by the end of the day Oct. 12, according to a county spokesperson. This plan will look similar to the one created in July, according to the spokesperson.

Possible new limitations from TriCounty could include reduced capacity for businesses, houses of worship and community gatherings if the

counties don’t successfully decrease cases. It could also result in earlier closings for bars and restaurants, according to the release.

Over the past two weeks, there have been 400 new cases in Douglas County and eight new hospitalizations.

Throughout the course of the pandemic, the highest one-day peaks of the virus in Douglas County have seen more than 40 people testing positive.

On Sept. 27, 41 people tested positive.

Since then, daily reporting of cases appears to be declining.

As of Oct. 9, the county had 3,032 documented cases. Over the previous 14 days, the county’s disease incidence rate was 113.5 per 100,000 people.

At one point in September, Douglas County’s seven-day rolling daily incidence rate surpassed that of Arapahoe County, according to Tri-County data.

Due to contact tracing efforts, TriCounty has concluded that much of

this surge is coming from large and small private events, said Jennifer Ludwig, deputy director of Tri-County.

“That seems to be the most viable place where people are being exposed or exposing others,” she said.

That could be in part because when people are around their friends and loved ones, they get comfortable and take their masks off and stop social distancing, Ludwig said.

“We can’t let our guard down right now,” she said. “Especially as we enter flu season.”

Contact tracers have had a difficult time tracking down specific events that have caused infections because residents don’t want to share detailed information about where they’ve been, she said. Some people are worried about getting their friends or loved ones who hosted a party in trouble, though there are no repercussions for having such an event,

Ludwig said. The point of reaching out is just to let people know they may have been exposed.

“It’s all educational and informatinal,” she said about the contact tracing efforts.

Tri-County is asking residents to follow certain guidelines when meeting in groups.

“To reduce the spread of infection, when gathering — whether it is indoors or outdoors or at a private party or public event — everyone should be sure to wear face coverings, maintain at least 6 feet of social distancing from others outside of their household and wash their hands frequently,” said Dr. John Douglas, executive director of Tri-County, according to the release.

More guidelines for small gatherings are available at tchd.org.

Douglas County has had 242 hospitalizations and 54 deaths since the start of the pandemic.

Gatherings may be to blame Tri-County’s contact-tracing process shows that a large number of positive cases may be connected to public and private social gatherings, according to the news release.

“When gathering — whether it is indoors or outside, or at a private party or public event — everyone should be sure to wear face coverings, maintain at least 6 feet of social distancing from others outside of their household and wash their hands frequently,” Douglas said in the release.

The limit on personal gatherings is 25 people in the level Arapahoe

and Douglas were under as of Oct. 8, while the limit is 10 people under Adams’ level.

For information on how to gather safely, the public can see TCHD’s small-gathering guidance at tinyurl. com/Tri-CountyGuidance.

“Prevention measures are especially crucial now that the weather is cooling and more gatherings and restaurant seating will be indoors where transmission can occur more readily than outdoors,” the news release added.

Key prevention steps also include staying home when sick, getting tested if COVID symptoms occur, and

cooperating with public health staff if a person tests positive or gets exposed to a COVID-19 case, the release said.

“We know that many of our residents have `COVID fatigue,’ but our community needs to come together to improve our transmission prevention efforts to help slow the spread and lower the numbers of COVID-19 cases so that we can continue going to work, to school and to worship, especially before we head into the holiday season,” the release added.

Tri-County also urged area residents to get a flu shot as an extra precaution to stay healthy.

Food bank breaks down barriers to assistance Come one, come all — IFCS ends residency restrictions, hardship proof

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Step right up, don’t be shy.

One of the Denver metro area’s largest food banks, Integrated Family Community Services, says it has done all it can to remove barriers to receiving food and other assistance.

“All you need to do is show up,” said Todd McPherson, the director of outreach for the nonprofit located between Sheridan and southwest Denver.

Gone from the old days are residency restrictions, sign-up sheets, limits

on visits or proof of hardship.

“The only way we could make it easier is if we delivered the food to you,” McPherson said.

Word is getting out — IFCS is now receiving clients from as far away as Colorado Springs and Weld County.

As many as 3,800 people are receiving weekly food — that’s an increase of 500% over the busiest period last year, McPherson said — with twothirds of them coming from outside the traditional IFCS service area in the southwest metro area.

Many of them are there for the first time, and quite a few have told staff they never expected to be in this position.

“Lots of them were in stable positions before COVID hit, but they’ve had the rug pulled out from under them,” McPherson said. “People don’t bounce right back from being

HUNGRY FOR HELP Integrated Family Community Services is at 3370 S. Irving St., just northwest of Federal Boulevard and Highway 285.

Even people who are holding steady are welcome, he said. The idea is to lighten people’s grocery bill so they can put money toward other needs, like car repairs, utilities or saving up for holiday gifts for loved ones — though IFCS can sometimes help with those too.

“Have a conversation with us and we’ll figure out what we can do for you,” McPherson said.

But the vast majority of clients are there for food, and IFCS boasts

a wide range of items not always found at neighborhood food pantries, including dairy and produce. Clients can even collect multiple boxes of food to take home to neighbors who can’t make it themselves.

IFCS has also boosted its capabilities in recent months with the addition of a conveyor belt system that allows contactless pickup.

Though the organization’s fundraising has sometimes struggled to keep up with demand, McPherson said IFCS is doing well at the moment, thanks to a wide variety of COVID-related grants and generous donors.

“Whether we’ll be able to stay at this level long-term is the question,” McPherson said. “Sometimes when crisis hits, we get a lot of help, but then it starts to dwindle. We’re trying to stay in this for the long haul.”

At one time, great taste.

Now over-filling.

Whenever you are outside and you notice a piece of trash, please stop and dispose of it properly. What isn’t collected today is picked up in the next rainstorm and sent directly to the nearest creek.

Parker teen’s first novel only the beginning Annabelle Healy’s “Far Below Human Eyes” available April 27

BY NICK PUCKETT NPUCKETT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

To those who know Annabelle Healy, this moment was only a matter of time.

A line of more than two dozen people, adults, kids and teenagers, waited patiently in the Parker Lutheran High School gymnasium Oct. 9 to receive a signed copy of Healy’s first novel, “Far Below Human Eyes.”

Healy’s first novel is a culmination of her high school writing career that began her sophomore year, when she won her first Scholastic writing award. She received an honorable mention for three other submissions, including “Far Below Human Eyes,” in the nationwide competition as well.

Healy contracted with Morgan James Publishing this year and the novel will be available for purchase April 27, 2021. The book is available for preorder on Amazon.com.

“Far Below Human Eyes” is a novel about a teenager named Harold who lives in a miniature world and must capture a dragonfly. When he fails, things spiral out of control for Harold and he finds out he’s not like everybody else. The novel is the first in a series, Healy said.

Healy was inspired by memories of playing in the pond of her childhood home and trying to catch dragonflies.

“That was a setting that I knew to

Annabelle Healy signed dozens of copies of her new book “Far Below Human Eyes.” The novel, published by Morgan James Publishing, is a milestone in the young writer’s career, as she aims to write four additional volumes to the five-part series. Healy, a senior at Lutheran High School in Parker, plans to continue her professional career as an author after high school.

The 17-year-old Lutheran High School student had a knack for writing and storytelling since she was young. Healy’s father, also a writer, recalled moments when she would act out entire character dialogues when she was a child, speaking for both parts of a hypothetical conversation.

English teacher Diane Hollenbeck called Healy her “sister wordsmith” and “sister lover-of-literature,” a testament to a relationship not often found

between teacher and student.

“I think that Annabelle sees the working of words differently than perhaps other students do, and she can see how they can be manipulated and chiseled and combed to make somebody feel what she’s feeling and make someone see what’s in her head,” Hollenbeck said. “That’s a gift.”

The day before Healy’s book signing event, Healy was baptized in Christ.

Now, Hollenbeck added, they are also sisters in Christ.

Hollenbeck said Healy is not only an inspiration to her peers in the Lutheran High writing club — which

Hollenbeck said is one reason the club has grown in recent years — but to everyone, including herself.

Healy’s advice to her fellow authors: put in the work.

“There were a couple of years where I woke up at 5:30 in the morning and wrote for a half-hour or 45 minutes before school or just cut out certain times during the day,” Healy said.

“A lot of people have the desire and inspiration of writing a book, but the actual doing it is so hard. I’ve failed so many times, but there’s a couple times I’ve stayed consistent and that’s how I’ve been successful.”

Political season Kellner said committee members also asked him to wait near the rear of the restaurant while they set up for the event. He sat away from the debate area looking at his notes when committee members asked Traylor to leave.

“I don’t know what was said to Amy’s campaign manager by the folks at PSAC because from where I was sitting, I couldn’t hear any of that,” he said. “I know I had been asked to kind of sit in the back.”

Kellner said he felt bad about the incident and that discriminatory behavior is “not consistent with who I have been as a prosecutor.”

“If I’m asked to go sit in the back,” Kellner said, “I recognize that for me that doesn’t make me feel like I’m being discriminated against in any way, and what I don’t know is, I don’t know her campaign manager. I don’t know Kat’s life experience and I don’t know if being asked that, you know, how that makes her feel.”

Kellner said he hopes the committee and Padden’s campaign can communicate better in the future.

Nelson said the committee is willing to hold an interview with Padden in the same format as Kellner’s at a later date.

In Padden’s absence, the debate moderator, KNUS radio station host Deborah Flora, conducted a Q&A conversation with Kellner. Both Flora and Kellner expressed disappointment that Padden did not attend.

Douglas County Sheriff Tony Spurlock did not attend the debate and emphasized that the committee is a separate organization, saying the sheriff ’s office has no authority over the group and vice versa.

“They do advise me, but I don’t have any control over them,” he said. “It is an independent group of citizens.”

The committee began under a different name as a group of citizens advising the sheriff ’s office on a tax initiative but formally formed as the Public Safety Advisory Committee in 2007.

The committee has since advised sheriffs on myriad issues. The group is not funded by the sheriff ’s office, Spurlock said.

Regarding the debate incident, Spurlock said most of the information he knew came from Facebook, and he had no comment on Traylor’s account of the evening. He did review body camera footage from the deputy who responded.

Spurlock said calls for increased patrol are routine at the office, adding “we literally get hundreds of those” and the deputy left soon after speaking with a group standing outside the restaurant.

“He saw there was no need for any law enforcement interaction,” Spurlock said. “It was an uneventful contact.”

Spurlock said he called Nelson and asked for a debriefing on the matter after it took off on social media the following morning. He also called Kellner, whom he has formally endorsed, and he spoke to Traylor by email. Kellner told Spurlock he did not hear the exchange between the committee members and Padden’s campaign staff, Spurlock said.

“I think we all just need to remember that during political season, everyone has an opinion, and everyone has the right to have an opinion,” he said, “but we should use caution on a rush to judgment on things.”

Do-it-yourself plumbing is a pipe dream

ndoor plumbing.

The world’s population was able to do without indoor plumbing for centuries and still evolve.

There are those around the world QUIET who do not have DESPERATION indoor plumbing to this day.

Others, like campers, find a way to rinse, wash and toilet.

Indoor plumbing is a great convenience. Generally, indoor plumbing repair is not.

Craig Marshall Attempting doSmith it-yourself indoor plumbing repairs is directly related to the age of the homeowner. The older the homeowner is the less

likely he or she wants to contort under a sink.

Plumbing technologies, according to the kids on “This Old House” have seen significant advancements.

However, one thing has not gotten any better; in fact, it’s become worse.

I refer to access.

First things first. An overtightened valve part next to a toilet was the difference between a relatively minor and inexpensive do-it-myself project and calling a professional with the Magic Tools.

Without the Magic Tools, I would have compounded the problem.

When I was younger, I compounded the problem a number of times.

An affable 38-year-old named “Dustin” was dispatched who never showed his face because he wore a mask through the entire operation.

He also wore booties.

As kitchen and bathroom designs and furnishings have become more refined and elegant the mechanics have been relegated to nooks and crannies in order to keep them out of sight.

Who wants to see a shut off valve right next to a beautiful sink?

Me. Wherever there is water in the home there is the possibility of trouble.

This goes for dishwashers, washing machines, even aquariums.

The builder’s grade dishwasher that came with the house and sat on a wood floor exploded.

The builder’s grade sump pump that came with the house exploded and flooded the basement.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Vote out GOP leaders When I first came to Douglas County in 1990, 97% of the vote went to Republicans. Over the course of the next score of years, the Douglas County GOP sought and secured governing control over virtually every publicly funded entity.

What have they done with it?

Let’s take two cases: public education and public health.

Regarding the school district takeover by a slate of Republicans in 2009 (school districts are supposed to be non-partisan elections), that meant a commitment to no tax increases, no unions and a keen interest in redirecting public money to private (religious school) pockets. (Full disclosure: I was a lead plaintiff against the school board’s voucher program.) All of these were partisan, not institutional goals.

As a consequence, Douglas County experienced an exodus of talented teachers and a severe loss of confidence in the institution.

Regarding public health, Douglas County Republican leadership responded to a national viral epidemic by first attacking then deciding to withdraw from Tri-County Health.

Why? Because to Republicans, politics is more important than public health.

Is it just a remarkable coincidence that today, Douglas County Republicans have an ever-narrowing majority in recent election outcomes? And that, now, there are more unaffiliated voters than either Democratic or Republican voters?

The plain truth is this. The Republican Party, in Douglas County and beyond, is not only an institution destroyer. It is also a clear and present danger to the well-being of

the citizens they are supposed to represent. Vote them out.

James LaRue Castle Rock No on Prop 113 It’s rare for bipartisan agreement these days. However, we’re seeing that on Proposition 113 as people are standing together saying no to it! Prop 113 would give Colorado’s presidential electoral votes to whomever gets the majority of votes in the country, not based on whom we vote for in Colorado. We know our diverse Colorado voices may be different than CA, TX, or NY and that they should still be heard in the election — not just handed over to whomever these larger population centers vote for.

If our electoral votes simply go to whomever wins the popular vote, presidential candidates will not spend time in smaller population areas but instead focus on larger coastal populations. They will cater to the “needs” of those areas while overlooking what’s important to us — because our electoral votes are now tied to those larger population centers. That diminishes Colorado’s voice on the national stage, which means our needs will less likely be addressed.

Our founders created the electoral college to ensure the diversity of our nation was represented — to get agreement not just from a lot of people but from a lot of people in a lot of different places. In contrast, Prop 113 does not value the diversity of thought and experience across our country — no wonder most of its funding comes from California.

If your son is an art major, like I was, don’t count on him to fix your leak.

It’s all about perspective as we move forward

T

here is a guiding principle that I am sure many of you are familiar with and may have put into practice in your daily commuWINNING nications. It’s the principle that SteWORDS phen Covey shared in his bestselling book “7 Habits of Highly Effective People” — “Seek first to understand, and then to be understood.”

This is a terrific concept that sounds Michael Norton awesome, and one that could easily add value to the conversations we are having and to the relationships we are building. If this is true, why isn’t this something that we practice more often? Is it because we want to be the one doing most of the talking? Is it because we are so convicted in our belief or position on a particular subject that we don’t want to give voice to a different way of thinking?

A couple of the core tenets of critical thinking, including gathering information and exploring other points of view, may help here. When we take the time to gather the information and take into consideration other points of view, it starts to help us gain a new and maybe different perspective. And by seeking first to understand the other person and what their perspective might be and

why we are giving them the same respect and courtesy that we expect them to offer us as we both try and understand one another.

A lack of understanding causes confusion and confusion leads to frustration. Frustration leads to a breakdown in communication. And a breakdown in communication leads to the erosion of trust. And the erosion of trust puts us at risk in all our personal and professional relationships.

There are times when we are faced with having to have difficult conversations in life. Maybe it is a situation or subject where we are the ones who must initiate that conversation. And perhaps someone else may need to talk to us about a difficult topic. In either case, no matter how challenging the discussion might be, it would be so much easier and remove all the angst for both parties if we could take the time to gain insights, perspective, and the “why” behind the “what” so that we can better understand one another.

When we can begin to understand the “why” behind the “what,” it gives us new perspective. Where absence of perspective and understanding causes us unnecessary stress in all areas of our daily lives; Parent and child; Teacher and student; Wife and husband; Friend and friend; Employer and employee; Coach and athlete; Client and sales-

Let’s continue to ensure our Colorado voice is represented nationally and that presidential candidates value Colorado, not just the big coastal population centers. Let’s vote no on Prop 113!

Gene Hawley Castle Rock Vote no on NPV plan Colorado has 1.8% of the U.S. population. That simple fact is the reason to reject Proposition 113. Presidential candidates will focus all their time and their resources on the large population centers such CA, NY, IL, TX, and FL. The long-term consequences are ominous: think about the allocation of federal dollars for highways, social services, medical care, and environmental programs for CO. There will be NO incentive whatsoever for decision-making politicians to put money into CO or to protect our interests. Imagine the power that California would have if they demand all the water coming from the Rocky Mountains? Federal laws would be changed and there would be little our state could do to stop the theft.

If the National Popular Vote were to become reality, it would permanently establish CO (and much of the US) as flyover country. Large population centers would control dollars because they control voting outcomes.

With our current nine electoral votes, presidential candidates and decision-makers in Washington know that they must balance time, attention, and resources amongst all 50 states. Vote for your state, vote for 50-state balance and vote against

person, just to name a few.

This idea of seeking first to understand and then be understood may not bring resolution to every conflict, but my experience tells me that it leads to creating an environment where people with different points of view can amicably agree to disagree.

What do we have to gain by trying this? Peace of mind. Higher quality conversations. Deeper relationships based on open and honest communication. Greater opportunities to advance in our career. What might happen if we do not try to understand others first? People stop coming to us when there is something to talk about. We create a breeding ground for resentment. We build walls instead of bridges. And sooner or later we become the only one who listens to the opinions and ideas that

Jerry Rath Highlands Ranch

Give 116 a thumbs-up I’m just giddy thinking about tax decreases. With all the political negativity from the local level up to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, there’s nothing that brings people together more than money. And finding ways for us to keep more of it.

That’s exactly what Proposition 116 does. As easily stated on the ballot, the question is: “Shall there be a change to the Colorado Revised Statutes reducing the state income tax rate from 4.63% to 4.55%?” And our votes should be a resounding YES. What does it mean for us? A few bucks back in our pockets for sure.

But it sends a signal to businesses on the fence about relocating to Colorado that, “hey, we’re open and ready to have you”. It means more investment in our communities as we keep more of OUR money and spend it in our communities. This generates revenue for small businesses. Which means creating more jobs. Which means more taxes back to our communities.

That’s probably why Governor Polis endorsed and supported Proposition 116. How about that — in 2020, we have a bipartisan initiative!

And one of my favorite things — there’s no better way for us to keep state government in check than by denying it more money. Politicians have shown when they have more access to our money, they spend it frivolously.

This keeps our elected officials more honest, and more responsible when passing annual budgets.

A no-brainer vote; mark “YES” for cutting taxes in November. Vote yes on 116.

Stephen Collier Highlands Ranch we have to share, no matter how brilliant they may be.

We have some very pressing issues facing our communities and our nation. We all have our position or may have planted our stake in the ground relative to our beliefs. My encouragement here is to apply some critical thinking by gathering as much information as possible, exploring other points of view, and seeking first to understand before trying so hard to be understood.

How about you? Is it more important for you to be understood? Or do you make the effort to truly understand other points of view? I would love to hear your story at mnorton@ tramazing.com and when we can remember that it’s all about perspective, it really will be a better than good week.

to sign up to take on this role throughout the country, but Klotz said this isn’t as needed in Colorado as it is in other states.

“The Trump campaign has just taken a one-size fits all view of elections,” he said.

Generally, Klotz is hearing more questions about voter security this election, he said.

“We probably are seeing 50% more people walking in with questions,” Klotz said. “But I don’t know of any who have walked away who didn’t have their questions answered.”

For those concerned about their ballot being counted, Klotz recommends signing up for the state’s “Track Your Ballot” program. More information on that is available at DouglasVotes.com.

He also asks residents to get their ballot in early and says the most secure way to do it is to drop it off at one of the county’s 20 ballot boxes rather than mailing it. The steel ballot boxes are surveilled 24 hours a day, he said.

“They are extremely secure,” he said. “And then we send out a team of dissimilar parties, a Democrat and Republican or an unaffiliated with a Democrat or Republican to pick those ballots up. All the way through the

process, that ballot has a dissimilar pair of people carrying that ballot.”

Jones agrees.

“We feel confident that if people vote informed and vote early that they will see their ballots are being counted,” he said.

While Duggan feels some concerns about having an outspoken Republican as the county’s clerk and recorder, she believes the system is secure, she said.

“There are enough safeguards and double checks and all of that, that I do still have faith that our ballots will be processed,” she said.

Klotz said that while he’s elected with his party affiliation, his role as clerk and recorder is separate.

“I’m not allowed to touch election equipment or ballots,” he said. “I stay two steps removed.”

Votes will begin to be counted at 7 p.m. Election Day, Nov. 3. Then, voters whose signatures weren’t matched with an already-existing signature in the state’s database will have a chance to cure their ballot. This process lasts until Nov. 12. Voters who need to cure their ballot will receive either an email or a letter informing them on next steps for having their vote counted.

Klotz wants to leave the voters with two main messages: Vote early and “don’t get confused.”

“Don’t let the national narrative confuse you,” he said. “Our system is very sound.”

Virtual sports move closer to reality

SHUTTERSTOCK IMAGE

CHSAA considers sanctioning esports as second pilot season starts

BY NICK PUCKETT NPUCKETT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

C

olorado high school sports coaches and administrators have adjusted practices, games and meets to satisfy public health requirements amid the COVID-19 pandemic in hopes of returning to high school sports this fall.

While sports like cross-country were more easily able to manage social distancing and symptom regulation, team sports had more hoops to jump through — crowded buses, pep rallies, student sections are a thing of the past. Meanwhile, schools continue to experiment with virtual learning, having mixed results.

The scramble to bring back high school sports has opened a new door for a sport without the inherent intermingling issues other sports have: esports.

The Colorado High School Activities Association is considering making esports an official high school sport.

The CHSAA esports pilot program begins its second regular season Oct. 15.

By season’s end, CHSAA could decide whether to make esports a sanctioned sport.

“These are kids who are not typically involved in their high school community and experience outside of the classroom,” CHSAA Spokesperson Ryan Casey said. “By and large, this is a population which is not involved currently in sports or activities, so we see this as a way to get them more involved with the community aspect of a school.”

The regular season includes eight games and four rounds of playoffs, with the championship scheduled for Dec. 11. A varsity team for “Rocket League” has three players, and a team for “League of Legends” has five. Most schools participating have at least a varsity and junior varsity team.

‘Level one’ Matt Flori moved to Colorado in 2017 to teach science at Gateway High School in Aurora. One year later, Flori heard rumblings of people organizing esports matches at the high school level.

Bouts of “League of Legends” and “Rocket League” took place in classrooms as clubs and developed a popular following. Dozens of Denverarea schools formed their own teams.

Flori stepped in to organize the first high school esports tournaments as Gateway’s first coach.

“When I was growing up, not every single student played video games,” Flori said. “It wasn’t the cool thing to do. Nowadays, every student — male or female — plays video games.”

Flori was hired at Castle View High School in Castle Rock this year, and has yet to meet his new esports team face-to-face. Coaching his players virtually is a challenge, he said, but students have been able to remain connected through playing.

“There are a lot of clubs and sports that are just not playing or meeting right now,” Flori said. “The fact we can do this at home, from the comfort of our couch, to comfort each other and talk to each other — it’s really helpful for the students to keep up with that social engagement.”

Flori said he believes competitive gaming will play a larger role at the high school level as the sport continues to gain popularity.

“The difference between esports and every other sport is in the amount of students who already do this,” Flori

said. “Esports isn’t new for students.

It’s new for adults, but it’s not new for students. They already play these video games, whether they’re professional or not.”

More colleges are beginning their own esports programs and several offer scholarships. The top gamers can make a living off esports. In 2019, esports viewership through apps like Twitch and YouTube totaled 454 million, according to Business Insider.

The industry surpassed $1 billion, according to a 2019 report from Newzoo, a games and esports analytics group.

Breaking into the professional realm of esports can be daunting, which is where high school coaches can come into play, Flori said.

“A lot of amateur teams and collegiate teams are looking for the next big thing and next big student,” Flori said. “This will start to open up those avenues for the kids.”

‘More than a fad’ Chandler Farnsworth has been competitive his whole life.

The 17-year-old from Highlands Ranch grew up in a “golf family,” he said, and attributes his hours spent on the links to his fiery “Fortnite” play. A student at SkyView Academy, Farnsworth started gaming his freshman year. Now, as a senior, he feels can safely say he can beat anyone at his school in any video game.

“It’s a hobby for me,” Farnsworth said, “and I really wanted to do it for more than just for fun outside of school.”

Though “Fortnite” is not a CHSAA esports game title, students can still play exhibition matches with other titles during practices. The pilot program only includes “League of Legends,” a five-on-five battle-arena game, and “Rocket League,” a two-ontwo game akin to soccer, for now.

Farnsworth helped start the first esports team at SkyView this year.

“We had more interest in esports than we did golf,” Farnsworth said.

To coach the team, the school hired Chris Curtis, a former esports pro and current program director for South Suburban Parks and Recreation’s esports department. Curtis has organized tournaments across the Front Range and is an advocate for the sport.

“Everybody is starting to realize this is a bit more than a fad,” Curtis said. “Schools are learning how to incorporate this more … You’re seeing students who wouldn’t enter in a physical sport enter this and it becomes the driving factor in increasing their grades.”

Curtis added that esports players are subject to academic requirements set by CHSAA similarly to other sports, adding a layer of academic motivation for interested players.

Farnsworth believes esports will continue its rise in popularity and will eventually help debunk the stereotype of the isolated, antisocial gamer.

“If you’re good at the game, people will find you eventually and you will get a community around you,” Farnsworth said.

And earning that CHSAA seal of approval could be crucial to the sport’s attempt at establishing credibility.

There are 17 states nationwide that have esports as a sanctioned activity.

“More often than not, there is a big spike in participation once a sport is sanctioned,” CHSAA spokesperson Ryan Casey said.

Flori and Curtis agree esports will continue to surge in popularity. Flori said some teams are working on adding a “unified” team for students with special needs.

“I think it starts at high school and leads into college,” Curtis said. “I would not be surprised if within the next five to seven years you’re seeing a handful of high schools offering esports as a competitive offering with any other sport.”

Yearly juried exhibit moves to new venue ‘This is Colorado’ relocation marks start of collaboration

IF YOU GO

BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

“This is Colorado,” an annual juried exhibit for members of the longrunning Littleton Fine Arts Guild, appears in a new venue this season: Town Hall Arts Center’s Stanton Gallery, where it marks the start of an ongoing collaboration between the two local organizations.

Littleton Fine Arts Guild will curate future exhibits for Stanton Gallery, as well as at their Depot Art Gallery and exhibit spots at Smokin’ Fins in Downtown Littleton, Vita, Arapahoe County Justice Center and Nixon’s Coffee in Englewood.

The present exhibit runs through Oct. 31 and includes oil, watercolor and acrylic paintings, as well as several stained glass pieces by Sally Vander Kamp.

Since the opening Town Hall program is “off-campus” at Hudson Gardens, art lovers will want to check in to the 2450 W. Main Street gallery from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday (free admission).

T

If you go: Stanton Art Gallery is located in Town Hall Arts Center, 2450 W. Main St. Littleton. Open now from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Monday to Friday. When Town Hall performances begin again — probably in the holiday season — art exhibits will become part of that experience as well. 303-794 2787, townhallartscenter.org.

It’s tempting to think about where the photographer was standing to capture many of the images. Perhaps some readers have been at that location this summer? Or, will wish they had been — hence a weekend plan forms!

This annual juried exhibit ties in with Town Hall’s season-opening musical: “Almost Heaven,” a tribute to the late John Denver, which has played to sold-out audiences at Hudson Gardens. One can almost hear “Rocky Mountain High” ringing out while enjoying the art, which varies in subject from rushing mountain streams to lush valleys, to a charming pair of owls: “You Had Us At Hello,” by photographer Carl Paulson.

Visual artists are fortunate to live in a state that invites interpretation of its images from almost any place one stands to look around.

Town Hall Arts Center in downtown Littleton is the venue for the Littleton Fine Arts Guild’s “This is Colorado” juried exhibition of visual artworks.

Seasonal images include snow-scenes, gardens and Kathy Meyer’s intriguing “Bubbles at the Gardens,” a “photography-infused aluminum print.” Readers may remember the recent season when blown glass bubbles floated in the Denver Botanic Gardens pond ... Here’s a close-up image.

Nationally recognized painter Dean

Buhler was juror for this exhibit — his “Warrior” demands a closer look when one spots it ... It’s a can’t-miss image that jumps out at the visitor.

Main Street strollers, as well as focused art lovers, are invited to visit this current Littleton Fine Arts Guild exhibit. They’ve been just off Main Street for many years — it seems good to welcome them to the center of our lovely Downtown!

Frightful nights still on at Haunted Mansion Reservations required, but spooky fun continues at longtime Halloween staple

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Sure, a lot of traditions are on hold this year, but fortunately the Reinke Bros. Haunted Mansion isn’t one of them.

The epic haunted house is one of just a handful operating

in the Denver metro area this year, thanks to a hefty helping of disease prevention practices like temperature screenings, keeping the actors behind Plexiglas, keeping groups small and spacing out visitors with a reservation system.

But that doesn’t mean the experience is any less scary.

Spread over 34 spooky rooms, the haunted house provides loads of frights, jumps, gross-outs and freak-outs.

“We still came up with plenty of ways to scare the pants off you,” said Greg Reinke, who owns the combination haunted house

and emporium of costumes and magic. “The plus side is, with the groups spaced out like this, you’re pretty much on your own in there. It’s a great experience.”

The Haunted Mansion is at 5663 S. Prince St. in Littleton, and runs through Nov. 1.

Tickets are $19 per person Sunday through Thursday and $22 per person on Friday and Saturday. A special lights-on tour is available for younger kids on Saturday and Sunday and costs $10 per person.

Reservations are required, and can be made at reinkebrothers. com.

The Haunted Mansion may have a fair amount of health measures in place, but that doesn’t mean it’s any less scary.

readiness to switch models on a number of metrics and places the district in an “eLearning,” “hybrid” or “in-person” category based on the score.

The district’s score as of Oct. 5 was 10, placing it in the hybrid-learning model category.

Staff, including Chief Assessment and Data Officer Matt Reynolds, stressed the dashboard is not the sole factor in choosing a learning model.

Board President David Ray said, “we consider far more data than what’s in this particular graphic.”

Areas that are “putting us in the red” included hospitalizations, case rates and case rates among children ages 5 to 18, Reynolds said. A graph included in staff ’s presentation showed a steady increase in case incidence rates from late September leading into October.

“You can see this idea of a wave.

The wave seems to be around federal holidays,” Reynolds said.

But Reynolds also walked directors through survey results showing on a scale of 1 to 4, 37% of staff rated their readiness to return at a 3 and 33.9% at a 4.

Interim Superintendent Corey Wise said the district contacted former families — such as those who may have left for other options like home-

schooling — and estimates between 50 and 55 students plan to return if the district transitions back to full inperson learning.

Students will also be given the option to transfer to either full in-person or full online learning as space allows.

Wise added that once all students are back, there will be more children in classrooms and on busses. Elementary children do not need to space 6 feet apart but other precautions like mask wearing will continue.

Class sizes will be back in a normal range, between 24 and 28 children, Assistant Superintendent Ted Knight said. The district is looking at hiring additional staff for class sizes that may exceed that, he said.

“The classroom setting is going to look very similar to what it looked like prior to March,” he said.

During in-person learning, each classroom would become its own cohort, which staff hope will keep quarantines limited to a single class instead of an entire grade or school in the event of a positive case.

Ray said he was hurting for children who missed being in school, which is necessary to help them build a strong foundation, he said, and that he was encouraged by building leaders feeling ready to return.

“There are concerns with safety, there are concerns with learning.

This is a very difficult year,” Wise said. “There is not a perfect time, no matter when we come back full inperson.”

Valor wins boys state golf championship of me was also on our team. I didn’t know he birdied. So if he had parred, it would have been a different story. I didn’t know how I set individually.”

Byler was confident about Schulte’s clutch putt.

“I had a feeling he was going to hit three quality shots on that hole,” he said. “I said: ‘Just try to be yourself. You’ve been practicing this shot all year.’”

Schulte admits he wasn’t special during the regular season.

“I started playing golf when I was in eighth grade and it has always been a dream of mine to win state,” he said. “I spent hours and hours working on golf. I progressed but this was the first year I was capable of winning something big.

“I didn’t know if was going to come down to the last hole.

I made a swing change going into regionals and I was twounder. My swing felt really good. I was super confident.

It’s really cool to win. The individual is good but the team is one of the special things. We were fourth in our league so nobody could see this coming except for our players.”

Valor Christian boys golf coach Justen Byler wasn’t surprised that his team won the Class 5A state championship on Oct. 6 at the Club at Rolling Hills.

However, Valor senior Lucas Schulte didn’t know he had captured the individual state title until after he sank an eagle putt on the 18th green, which secured the team championship for Valor and made him a state champion.

Valor, which was fourth in the 5A Jefferson County League, finished with a tworound, four-player total of 452 to edge Arapahoe, which was second for the second straight season with 454 total strokes.

Regis Jesuit was third (458) while Rock Canyon came in fifth (462), Cherry Creek seventh (468) and Castle View ninth (474).

“I don’t think this was a surprise,” said Byler. “I’ve shared with a couple other people that we played in such a difficult league this year. Jeffco has five of the top 10 teams in the state and we felt like we’d played in these situations before and we were playing better coming into the tournament than we

“The moment Lucas walked off the 18th green, he said: `We did it.’ You win an individual state title and that’s your first phrase, that’s the way this team is.”

Schulte bogeyed the 17th hole but hit a 320-yard drive to start his final hole of the day on the 18th and followed with

an accurate 8-iron shot to the green.

“I had about 180 in,” said Schulte `I had been spinning the ball so much. I wanted to put in past the hole. I didn’t know but getting over the hill and seeing it was within six feet I started shaking hard. My heart was racing. Coach was trying to calm me down.

“Armstrong was the most consistent all year,” added Byler. “He posted a 74 early.

Having that score in the clubhouse was a really big thing for us. It gave us a chance to be a little more aggressive and see what happens late. It wasn’t a surprise. We’ve been playing team golf all year long.

“I’m super proud of the guys for having that team culture.

Let me say this. It may have been the best high school finish I’ve ever seen.”

The two best rounds of the final day were from Ralston Valley’s Troy Kirschner and Ryan Occhionero of Regis Jesuit who tied for third at 147.

Kirschner had a 2-under-par 69 and Occhionero a 1-under 70.

Arapahoe’s Graham Dzengelewski, who led most of the tournament, was 3-over par on the 16th and 17th honors but finished with a birdie for a 75 and tied him for fourth place with a 148 total.

Cherry Creek’s Charlie Flaxbeard tied for seventh (151) and Nick Fallin of Rock Canyon was 11th (152).

1-0 softball game score eliminates Rock Canyon Top-seeded team loses to Grand Junction Central in 5A quarterfinals

BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Top-seeded Rock Canyon was eliminated from the 5A state quarterfinal softball playoffs with a 1-0 loss to Grand Junction Central on Oct. 8 at Rock Canyon.

One might call the loss bad, baffling, difficult, tough or any other adjective since there were only three hits in the game, one by Rock Canyon and two by Central.

Grand Junction Central scored an unearned run in the sixth inning for the only scoring in a pitching duel between the Warriors’ Kennedy Vis and the Jaguars’ Anna Reimers.

“All losses are tough,,” said Rock Canyon coach Mike Desimone, whose team finished with a 16-2 record. “It’s a great group of kids. This group of kids and this group of seniors won over 82% of their games in four years.

They accomplished a lot but didn’t accomplish the ultimate goal that they wanted, but they accomplished almost everything else they did. They completed two consecutive undefeated league (Continental) seasons. You always want more for them.”

Grand Junction Central’s Myra Murdock lined a double to left centerfield with two outs in the sixth and scored when Sidona Johnston’s hardhit grounder to deep short was ruled a hit and scored Murdock.

Reimers allowed only those two hits and struck out 12 batters.

Rock Canyon, which has a 73-19 record over the past four seasons, loaded the bases with two outs in the third inning but didn’t score.

Bryn Johnson was hit by a pitch, Audrey Burt got the Jaguars’ only hit of the game with a single and Annika Sprague reached on a fielder’s choice after an error at third base.

However, Vis struck out the Jaguars’ leading hitter in Katie Dack.

“She a great athlete and she will do well in college. (Texas A&M),” said Desimone. “She just wanted to do it so badly for her team. She was just probably trying too hard.”

Vis struck out six and induced several popups to the infield and plenty of grounders.

“She kept us off base,” said Desimone. “They kind of went away from their script which they normally do which was great from their part.

We had a hard time of adjusting. It doesn’t matter now but typically they throw outside but they came inside a lot more on us and threw a lot more rise balls than they normally do. And they executed.”

Central improved to 15-3 and avenged an early season 3-0 loss to Rock Canyon. In the past four games heading into the Oct. 10 state semifinals, the Warriors defeated four Continental League teams in Regis Jesuit, Castle View, Legend and Rock Canyon.

In Class 5A first-round games on Oct. 6, Rock Canyon stopped Legacy, 11-1, as Sydney Boulaphinh went 3-for4 and drove in six runs.

Grand Junction Central got a threerun homer from Myah Arrieta in the first inning and made it hold up for a 3-2 win over Legend, which managed only four hits.

Lakewood scored three runs in the bottom of the sixth inning and edged Douglas County 5-3. Freshman Jenna Madison had two of Douglas County’s four hits.

Chatfield romped to a 13-2 victory over Regis Jesuit.

Lutheran, a first-year softball program, advanced to the Class 3A semifinals which were held Oct. 10 at Aurora Sports Park.

The Lions downed Sterling, 9-3 on Oct. 6 as Taylor Cramer sparked the team with three hits. On Oct. 10, Lutheran collected 15 hits and beat Strasburg, 9-3. Cramer and Zoe Stanzyk each had three hits for the Lions.

Third-seeded Lutheran, a first-year program, defeated defending state champion University, 14-3, in the semifinals but lost to top-seeded Eaton, 5-1 in the 3A championship game on Oct. 19 at Aurora Sports Park.
