Art dedication focuses on healing, mental health Local student works two years to give back to community that helped after STEM shooting BY THELMA GRIMES TGRIMES@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Sometimes in the darkest of times, it is important to find light, seek out the positive and come together as a community. Two years after the shooting at STEM Schools Highlands Ranch, one student did just that in her path to earn the Girl Scouts Gold designation. Now a senior, Grace Bielefeldt was a sophomore when the

shooting occurred on May 7, 2019. Bielefeldt said she can remember being shuffled from the school to the Northridge Recreation Center. To date, she still struggles to go into some of the rec center rooms, especially the tennis courts. On May 4, in a special art dedication, Bielefeldt returned to the recreation center, only this time she was capping off a two-year effort to bring light and positivity while emphasizing the need for more mental health awareness. The project was also aimed at recognizing the importance of a community coming together in the face of tragedy. The four panels of art focus on the positivity, light, and mental health. The location for the paintings is about community. A #STEMStrong cookie.

A jury has found a truck driver who faced trial this month for hitting and killing Colorado State Trooper Cody Donahue guilty on two of three counts. Noe Gamez-Ruiz was found guilty of careless driving while passing an emergency vehicle resulting in death, a Count 1 traffic offense, and failure to remain in a single lane, a minor traffic offense. A judge could sentence him to probation or up to 12 months in jail. The jury found Gamez-Ruiz not guilty of careless driving resulting in death, also a Count 1 traffic offense. District Court Judge Jeffrey Holmes announced the verdict at roughly 10:45 a.m. on May 10 after jurors spent that morning and several hours on Friday, May 7 deliberating. The weeklong trial began May 3 with jury selection and reached closing arguments by May 7. Donahue died the day after Thanksgiving on Nov. 25, 2016 while investigating a separate crash on the side of Interstate 25 south of Castle Rock. The trooper was standing between a crashed vehicle parked on the right shoulder and the interstate’s far-right fog lane when Gamez-Ruiz passed the scene driving a U.S. Foods truck, hitting and killing Donahue instantly. Prosecutors had argued Gamez-Ruiz had ample time to switch lanes and that the scene Donahue was working would have been visible from more than a mile SEE TRIAL, P9

Keeping the community in Colorado Community Media

L

ast week in this space you were able to hear from Ann and Jerry Healey, who have entrusted their collection of 24 community newspapers to us at the newly formed Colorado News Conservancy. This week, as the new owners and operators of this newspaper, we want to give you an opportunity to hear directly from us and learn about our plans. With an eye toward retirement, grandkids and new adventures, Ann and Jerry sold Colorado Community Media to the Conservancy.

Democrats introduce bill for transportation fees Fuel purchases, deliveries, rideshare trips could see added costs BY JESSE PAUL THE COLORADO SUN

Colorado Democrats formally rolled out their massive transportation fee-implementation and spending bill on May 4 with support from top business leaders and two Republicans, saying 2021 is the year to finally tackle the Holy Grail that is the state’s longstanding infrastructure deficit. “This is the year we will make it happen,” Senate Majority Leader Steve Fenberg said as Senate Bill 260 was introduced. The bill would impose new fees on motorists purchasing gasoline and diesel fuel, while also adding additional costs to deliveries, rideshare trips and electric vehicle registrations. The fees would raise about $3.8 billion over the next decade and, paired with an infusion of the Legislature’s general fund, contribute to more than $5 billion on spending. Colorado Springs Mayor John Suthers and state Sen. Kevin Priola of Henderson were the two Republicans who joined Democrats, including Gov. Jared Polis, at a news conference to announce the legislation. “As a conservative Republican, I’m not here this afternoon because I’m

a fan of everything going on with the Colorado Legislature these days — far from it,” Suthers said. “But I am here to support this transportation package, because I believe Colorado must move forward to invest in its transportation infrastructure, and this is the best, most collaborative effort that I’ve seen to do so.” Suthers says he opposed a recent proposal to raise sales taxes to pay for Colorado’s transportation needs, but that he thinks the measure introduced May 4 strikes the best balance possible, making road users pay their fair share and lawmakers open their purse strings. “While I personally would prefer perhaps a greater contribution of general fund, or more money into highway construction and less into multimodal, I’m a political realist and I understand political compromise,” he said. “And I don’t see a better package coming through the Legislature or the voters anytime soon. And I strongly believe we simply cannot kick this can down the road any longer.” Mike Kopp, president and CEO of Colorado Concern, and Kelly Brough, president and CEO of the Denver Metro Chamber of Commerce, were also at the news conference to voice their support. Kopp called the measure a “breakthrough step.” Most Republicans balk at fees The GOP support is notable because Republicans at the Legislature

have generally chafed at the notion of raising fees to pay for transportation projects. Most conservatives, including the powerful group Americans for Prosperity Colorado, think voter approval should be sought before any new costs are placed on motorists and question the legality of the fee structure. “It is unconscionable that our lawmakers could even think of moving forward with all the negative feedback they have received with only weeks left in the session to spare,” AFP Colorado State Director Jesse Mallory said in a written statement. “Coloradans, their families, and their businesses cannot possibly shoulder another financial burden after the pandemic. If our lawmakers can’t carry out the duties of their position and hold themselves accountable to voters, then we will — plain and simple.” Mallory’s group plans to cosponsor a 2022 ballot measure with Colorado Rising State Action, another conservative group, to give voters

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A proposal to boost Colorado’s roads and other transportation infrastructure has garnered support from what one south metro Democrat calls a “historic coalition” — but Republican holdouts are sure to voice opposition. “We have billions coming from the federal government — and possibly billions more from an infrastructure package — and Colorado Democrats decide to impose fees on every Coloradan?” state Sen. Jim Smallwood, a Republican of Parker, said through a spokesperson. “I support funding for roads and bridges, but I oppose this effort. Democrats have avoided investing in our roads and bridges for years, and it’s not right to punish Coloradans for their failures.” The Democrats’ proposal, Senate Bill 21-260, announced on May 4, would raise about $3.8 billion in new revenue via fees such as the “road usage fee” — essentially a tax on gasoline — that would start at 2 cents per gallon and go up 1 cent annually to 8 cents. It would then be indexed to, or adjusted automatically for, inflation. Democrats argue the proposal would provide long overdue funds after years of failed legislative attempts and failed ballot measures that asked voters to raise transportation funding. “This is a reasonable and balanced approach to ensure that neither drivers, nor one particular industry, have to shoulder the entire burden of addressing our inadequate and outdated transportation funding levels,” state Rep. Meg Froelich, an Englewood Democrat, said in a statement. The funding could support several critical projects in the south Denver metro region, including the Interstate 25 and Belleview

the option to reduce the gasoline tax in response to the Legislature’s fee plan. Sen. Ray Scott, R-Grand Junction, said during a Colorado Sun forum on transportation funding recently that enacting fees would be “incredibly dangerous to our economy and to the well-being of people in Colorado.” Scott said his party would instead like to see a quarter of the roughly $4 billion Colorado is receiving from the latest coronavirus relief package used for transportation. “We could solve every fiscal problem — from K-12, to higher ed, to roads and bridges — with this money if we don’t get distracted.” But Priola and Suthers rejected their fellow conservatives’ argument. Priola said he thinks Senate Bill 260 spreads the burden around fairly, and Suthers — who is also Colorado’s former attorney general — said he is confident the fees are SEE BILL, P19

Avenue interchange (a $22 million project) and a project along I-25 at the Denver Tech Center (costing $10 million), according to Froelich. Supporters of the proposal have “brought together the business community, transit advocates, labor unions, and local government leaders, Republicans and Democrats alike, to build a historic coalition,” Froelich said in the statement. “Coloradans are sick and tired of sitting in traffic, replacing flat tires and spending thousands on vehicle repairs because our road conditions are some of the worst in the country,” state Rep. Tom Sullivan, a Democrat of Centennial, said in a statement. “We’re falling behind and losing our competitive edge to our neighboring states that have fixed their transportation funding challenges. This bill will create tens of thousands of good jobs, improve our air quality and modernize our broken transportation funding system.” Republican state Reps. Kevin Van Winkle, of Highlands Ranch, and Kim Ransom, of Douglas County, did not respond for comment. Taxes can be spent by the Colorado General Assembly however lawmakers determine, while a fee must be spent on a specific purpose set in state law. In the case of state Senate Bill 21-260, fees would go to funding sources that must spend the money on transportation services directly related to fees, according to a state House Democrats spokesman. For example, the road usage fee will go into the Highway User Tax Fund, and electric vehicle fees will go into an enterprise that supports electric vehicle infrastructure, such as charging stations.

Home valuations rise slower than before Reappraisal notices sent beginning May 3 BY ELLIOTT WENZLER EWENZLER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Douglas County homes saw less of an increase in their values during the most recent reappraisal period than in the recent past, according to the county assessor. Residential reappraisal notices, which were mailed to property owners beginning May 3, reflect a median increase of 8% for single-family homes throughout the county. That’s down from 2019, when those valuations rose by 14.5%. In 2017, there was an increase of nearly 20%, said Lisa Frizell, the county assessor. That median property value for single-family homes is now $519,000, according to a press release from the county. Reappraisals occur every two years and are based on comparable sale prices in the area of the property. To determine homes’ new valuations, the assessor’s office looks only at sales that occurred during the “study period,” which for this valuation was from July 1, 2018 to June 30, 2020. The trend in Douglas County runs parallel to what was found across the metro area, where value increases ranged from 6% to 11% percent, according to a press release from Denver metro area assessors. Since that period ended, the county’s residential values have begun appreciating at a higher rate.

In some areas, there has been a 20% increase since the study period, Frizell said. That increase won’t be reflected in valuations until 2023, unless there is a change in the market before then. “We would have to see a housing bubble burst not to see this” Frizell said. These valuations, along with an assessment rate set by the state and any mill levies on the property, are used to determine property taxes. Those interested in challenging their valuation can do so by visiting douglas.co.us/assessor and selecting “file an appeal” under “online services.” Property owners can also use the site to search for their home’s valuation, learn about past valuations and research comparable home appraisals and sales. “We would be happy to look at it,” Frizell said of valuation appeals. Attached housing, such as condominiums and townhomes, saw a median value increase of 5% in the county, Frizell said. “Unlike the last several reappraisals, our condominiums and townhomes saw a smaller appreciation in value compared to single-family detached homes,” Frizell said, according to the county press release. Frizell also participated in a recent conference of metro area assessors where they researched how COVID-19 impacted commercial property valuations. “In my 23 years working in the Douglas County Assessor’s Office, I have never experienced a SEE HOMES, P8

New law marks milestone for medical cannabis advocates Douglas County family among those who pushed for expanded cannabis access in schools

policies, one by allowing staff to administer hemp products only and the other by allowing products with THC as well. “It’s also the culmination of communities coming together to make it happen, to make change,” Polis said.

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Emotional testimony As the bill made its way through the Capitol, bipartisan sponsors touted it as benefiting hundreds of students in Colorado who need cannabis to treat serious conditions. Democratic Sen. Julie Gonzales told Colorado Community Media the bill was an effort to clarify “once and for all” medical cannabis policies in schools. “What I love about this work is this is a nonpartisan issue, this isn’t a Democrat or Republican policy, this is about trying to do what’s right for students who find themselves in exceptionally dangerous circumstances,” she said in March. The bill’s success was spurred on early in the approval process by emotional testimony from children and families who rely on medical cannabis, she said. “We heard from parents who for the first time were able to connect with their kids after shifting from heavy pharmaceuticals to medical cannabis,” she said. Gonzales said it was an honor to work with state senator and Republican Minority Leader Chris

There is a new law in Colorado that’s broadening access to medical cannabis in schools, and it marks a major milestone for medical cannabis advocates, including a Douglas County family that’s spent years fighting local school district policy. Districts are now required to create policies allowing for the safe storage of non-smokable medical cannabis on school grounds, and districts must allow staff to volunteer to administer medical cannabis to students. Gov. Jared Polis at a May 5 bill signing for SB21-056 called the law “a long time coming.” It builds on two previous pieces of legislation called Jack’s Law and Quintin’s Amendment. A 2016 law allowed primary caregivers and parents to come to school and administer medical cannabis. The law was amended in 2018 to also allow school personnel to volunteer and administer the medications. Since then, two of the state’s 178 districts have changed their

Holbert, a champion of the bill. At the May 5 bill signing, Holbert recalled that prior to the bill going before the Senate Education Committee in February, he knew of three “yes” votes on the panel, and he needed four to advance it. After advocates and people who rely on medical cannabis testified, it passed the committee unanimously. The bill eventually passed the Senate 33-1 and the House 57-6. Holbert said that while drafting the 2021 legislation he worked with nurse associations to determine what those personnel would need to feel comfortable administering medical cannabis in schools. Requiring instructions from a recommending physician was one aspect of the bill that came out of those discussions, he said. The bill was written so that the cannabis products would remain in an adult’s control while at school, not in the hands of children, he said, and so school boards will have discretion over how the products are stored on school grounds. That will give them power to address any security concerns they might have, he said. The 2021 law shields personnel from retaliation, whether they do or do not volunteer to administer medical cannabis. That includes protecting a nurse’s license. Students must provide instructions from their recommending physician for how to administer the cannabis products, such as

dosing and timing, and principals must agree to and sign a written treatment plan for administering the medical cannabis. Holbert first got involved in medical cannabis policy work roughly six years ago because of the Wann family, he said. Polis said May 5 the Wann family went “above and beyond the call of duty,” contacting everyone they could at the local, state and federal level to address roadblocks for medical cannabis in schools. The effort was “a perfect example of citizen-led” advocacy, he said.

Local advocacy The Highlands Ranch family has been involved in medical cannabis advocacy throughout the state for years, while also locked in a s dispute with the Douglas County H School District over its medical c cannabis policy. t In response to interview requests with Superintendent Corey t Wise about the new law, a spokes- a p woman provided a statement saying the Douglas County School t District “will make revisions to policy and procedures consistent A with the law.” School Board Presi- 2 dent David Ray was not immedi- p n ately available for comment on l SB21-056.

County sees increase in unregistered vehicles Sheriff’s office says it’s time to renew them STAFF REPORT

After noticing an increase in the numbers of expired license plates, expired temporary tags and vehicles without any license plates on the roads, the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office is reminding folks to register their cars.

FROM PAGE 6

several years ago, his family said. He also relies on a nasal spray containing THC to stop any breakthrough seizures should one occur. Ben was not allowed to store the emergency-use nasal spray at school under current district policy while a student at Mountain Vista High School. Ben and his parents, Brad and Amber, spent much of 2018 and 2019 asking DCSD to change its policy by allowing medical cannabis to be kept at schools and to let staff volunteer to administer medical cannabis to students. The family lived several minutes from Ben’s high school. A serious seizure could cause brain damage or life-threatening complications within seconds, they said. Policies

“Sheriff Tony Spurlock wants to remind everyone: if you own or operate a motor vehicle, it is your responsibility to make sure it is appropriately licensed and insured,” according to a press release from the county. “If your vehicle is not appropriately licensed and insured, a traffic summons may be in your future.” More information on how to register a vehicle can be found at DouglasDrives.com. Registration

can be renewed online or through a self-service kiosk, located at six King Soopers stores in Douglas County, according to the release. Motor vehicle appointments and walk-in services are available Monday through Friday, from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. “The past year threw us all for a loop. There was no normal. There wasn’t even any normalcy when it came to registering our vehicles,” according to the sheriff’s office. “We may have tried to do

our best, but it is time to register and/or renew your plates.” The county’s self-serve locations are: • 5544 Promenade Parkway, Castle Rock • 750 N. Ridge Road, Castle Rock • 12959 S. Parker Road, Parker • 17761 Cottonwood Drive, Parker • 9551 S. University Boulevard, Highlands Ranch • 2205 W. Wildcat Reserve Parkway, Highlands Ranch

permitting parents and caregivers to bring cannabis to school and administer it to children placed students like Ben in danger, the family said. The district and school board largely remained steadfast in upholding the policy prohibiting storage on school grounds and barring staff from administering medical cannabis, citing concerns that cannabis remained a Schedule I drug at the federal level and fears about losing federal funding. Ray in October 2019 offered to put the policy up for review on the board’s agenda but then changed course, saying he later learned of an investigation at a state agency and the district would take up the policy work after that resolved. The Wanns confirmed they filed a complaint with the Colorado Division of Civil Rights in October 2019. The complaint alleged the school board was usurping pow-

ers granted to school principals by state law and discriminating against Ben. The state agency found there was probable cause, or enough evidence to support, the Wanns’ allegation that DCSD was discriminating against Ben through its policy. The discrimination complaint process then allows complainants to further pursue their cases through civil court lawsuits. The family’s attorney, Alex Buscher, said they decided against suing the district because that would only address Ben’s case and not help students using medical cannabis statewide. The family instead threw its support behind a legislative push, he said. Brad and Amber called the bill signing surreal. The couple and Ben stood behind Polis as he signed the bill at the Capitol. “It was a huge relief to know

that at this point forward, Ben will have access to his medication and other young people like Ben will also have access to their medication,” Brad said. “It just ended the discrimination.” Ben graduated from Mountain Vista but remains in the district’s Bridge program, which serves students ages 18 to 21 with personalized learning needs. There are still hurdles to jump, Brad said. The family plans to watch closely as the Colorado Department of Education and local school districts write policies in line with the law. He’s not sure how quickly that might happen, but the Wanns plan to advocate for fast turnarounds before the law takes effect later this year. “I guess for us the true mark of this will be the day we actually get to walk in (to school) with his medicine and leave it there,” Amber said.

Fire department master plan approved Council discusses community surveys, approves public meeting to update downtown plan BY THELMA GRIMES TGRIMES@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The Castle Rock Town Council approved the fire department’s master plan for 2021-2025 during the May 4 regular meeting. Fire Chief Norris Croom continues to raise concerns about keeping up with growth, highlighting several areas in the master plan that will be needed if growth continues. In the presentation, Croom said the town’s population was 51,600 in 2012. Between 2012 and 2020, the population has increased to more than 75,589. The recommendations in the plan will help the department

partnership and effort such as we achieved,” Frizell said. The project brought together assessors from 12 counties to analyze the impacts of the pandemic on six

maintain outstanding levels of service as the community grows and call volumes increase. Currently, as an internationally accredited fire and rescue department, Castle Rock Fire covers 66 square miles of land, including 34 square miles in town limits, and 32 square miles in the protection district outside of town limits. Croom said as the population increases, and new developments are built, both operational costs and capital needs will increase the fire department’s budget needs. Earlier in the meeting, Tara Vargas, senior director of project management, presented the council with data regarding current and future housing developments and growth. In looking at the current buildout analysis, Vargas said it is realistic to expect the population of the town at full potential buildout to be between 111,000 and 122,000. Croom said besides continued growth in developments such

as Cobblestone Ranch, Crystal Valley and Plum Creek, future growth is also a concern. Dawson Trails is one of those new developments, with developers proposing 5,800 homes. Vargas said Dawson Trails, formerly known as Dawson Ridge, is moving forward with the public process, hosting neighborhood meetings, including one scheduled for May 24. The more than 2,000-acre development is located southwest of Crystal Valley Parkway and Interstate 25. The property was annexed in 1986. Croom said call volumes also increase as more assisted-living and senior communities are developed in Castle Rock. Since 2012, the fire department’s call volume has increased by 30%. In other business, Assistant Town Manager Kristin Read broke down the results of the annual community survey. While the final cost of the com-

missioned survey has not been provided, the town approved spending up to $72,000 to pay for the study. Read said overall, the town received high marks from the 751 residents who responded to the survey that was available to the public between Feb. 10 and March 10. Read said as in past years, participants stressed that one of their biggest concerns is the town’s rate of growth. To see the survey results, visit the website at CRgov. com/2021Survey. In other business, council voted a d unanimously to hold a public d meeting that will include community members and downtown D h stakeholders to discuss possible revisions to the Downtown o Master Plan. While a date has not been set, the council will be p working with the Downtown De- t velopment Authority, Downtown v Merchants Association, landown- t w ers and building owners.

types of real estate, consisting of office, retail, lodging, warehouses, apartments and condominiums. “While some small decrease in residential transactions was observed after March 2020, commercial real estate transactions fundamentally ceased to occur,” according to the release from the metro area assessors.

They found that generally, warehouse property values fared well during that period, Frizell said. Office spaces remained mostly flat, except in downtown Denver where there was a “mass exodus,” she said. Lodging properties experienced the largest decreases in value, according to the press release from assessors.

i The project “was born out of G necessity, but was also a shining ex- i ample of how government can lead m with innovation and citizen focus,” b Frizell said. “This was 100% about a making sure we do the right thing t by our commercial property owners and proactively seeking solutions to b complex problems that, at face value,f we had little experience with.”

Free placement of loved ones’ ashes during May The service is offered at Seven Stones STAFF REPORT

away. They leaned heavily on evidence showing Gamez-Ruiz’s truck drifted to the right just as he passed Donahue and that he did not turn on his turn signal in an attempt to move over. Dozens of other vehicles that passed the scene in the right lane gave troopers more space, centering their vehicles in the lane or moving toward the left, they said, while Gamez-Ruiz was the only vehicle to drift right. Defense attorneys called the incident a tragic accident, and said Gamez-Ruiz had taken due diligence in trying to pass safely. He drove 20 mph under the speed limit and was blocked from switching lanes by fastapproaching vehicles behind him, they said. Donahue also moved to his position by the fog lane roughly 15 seconds before Gamez-Ruiz hit him. Prosecutors

of deceased loved ones in their garden ossuary, called Canyon View Commons, for the month of May, according to a press release from the cemetery. The free placement of ashes, a tradition at the cemetery, began four years ago and was originally scheduled for one day, but the cemetery made the decision last year to include the offer for all of May “in argued that was enough time to see the trooper and move, while defense attorneys said it was one factor making the fatal collision unforeseeable for Gamez-Ruiz. Gamez-Ruiz had immediately pulled over and assisted deputies as they investigated the collision, defense attorneys said. This was the truck driver’s third trial in the four years since Donahue’s death. The case resulted in mistrials in September 2018 and February 2019 when information was presented in court that prosecutors had not provided to defense attorneys before trial began. District Court Judge Shay Whitaker lessened the sentence Gamez-Ruiz could face as a sanction for the first mistrial and dismissed a felony charge as a sanction for the second. Prosecutors appealed the felony dismissal, but the Colorado Court of Appeals upheld the decision. Gamez-Ruiz will return for his next court appearance in July.

that’s easily visited by all members of the family … we see it every day. Our families tell us they feel a sense of peace after placing their loved one’s ashes in such a beautiful garden.” The communal ossuary is one of the services at the cemetery, which opened in April 2015. Other options

Students prepare to present work in virtual show Castle View graduate named Boettcher Scholar STAFF REPORT

A pandemic will not stop students from letting their creativity shine. The Douglas County School District is preparing to host a virtual art show, keeping with an annual tradition to present student artwork. To discuss the upcoming show, Lorri Hodges, an art advocate at Lone Tree Elementary School, provided details and information on how much work went into the 2021 show.

STAFF REPORT

Castle View High School student Leigh Walden was named a Boettcher scholar and will receive a four-year scholarship that includes virtually all expenses to attend the Colorado school of her choice – full tuition, fees, a book allowance, and an annual stipend for living expenses. plans to attend Colorado College. She plans to attend Colorado College. More than 1,600 Colorado students applied for the prestigious Boettcher Foundation Scholarship this year, with 42 being named recipients. The Douglas County School District (DCSD) is proud to congratulate Walden for earning this influential scholarship. Scholars are selected based on academics, service, leadership, and character. “These young leaders personify our mission to support the promise of Colorado and the potential of Coloradans,” said Katie Kramer, president and CEO of the Foundation. “The leadership and sense of responsibility to contribute to their schools and communities are what best describe the 2021 class. We’re ecstatic that they are staying home to contribute to our Colorado universities and colleges.”

What can you tell us about this year’s show? Even though this school year has been hard, our K-12 students have persevered through COVID and have been exercising their imaginations and creativity. We are incredibly proud of our art students. As a committee, it was difficult to envision a different kind of art show, but a virtual show will meet the needs of our students and community by digitally showcasing student work. This year’s show will still be fantastic, and the show will be virtually online on Douglas County School District website from May 3 through next school year. The virtual art show is a K-12 show that will be judged by judges that are professors, art teachers, or professional artists in Colorado. How many schools will participate? Every school in the Douglas County School District has been invited to participate. Depending on the number of students they teach, art teachers can use up to six slides if they are elementary level, middle school can get up to five slides per medium and high-school teachers get up to six slides per medium. Artwork can be submitted in the following categories: Design/Computer Art, Drawing/ Printmaking, Jewelry, Mixed Media, Painting, Photography and Sculpture

How can the public view the show? To view the district show, visit dcsdk12. org/artshow, starting at 8 a.m. Monday, May 3. This show will live online through the 2021-2022 school year. Unlike physical shows in the past, there are not any items to take down and store away, so we can enjoy these beautiful pieces for longer.

How did you get involved with the art show? I have been a classroom teacher within the Douglas County School District for about 19 years with a flair for the eccentric and the creative. Just this year, with my amazing supportive administrators and Lone Tree Elementary School, I made the decision to focus on the creative side of teaching students and transitioned into an art teacher role. I have to say this has been a most unusual year to try something new. I decided to join the art show committee because I wanted to fully immerse myself in the art world. What better way to embrace student art than to be part of the committee for the art show? My art colleagues have been fully supportive of a newcomer and are an amazing group of open-minded creative thinkers. I have thoroughly enjoyed being part of a group that could offer extraordinary ideas and solutions to the barriers we have faced as a group of teachers this year. I feel very fortunate that I have had many art teachers to collaborate with this year from this committee. We hope that this year’s Virtual Art Show not only does a stellar job to lift our young artists, while celebrating their uniqueness and artistic abilities, but also does a great job to enhance our bond with our isolated i community members, through the enjoya ment of beautiful student artwork.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Super Dad Hello head of household, Super Dad. The one your family looks up to for guidance. You won’t wear a mask or get the COVID-19 vaccination, but there you are in the hospital for over three months. Super Dad lying there thinking everything is cool at home. You don’t know that 10 days after you went in, your wife got COVID and three days later she died. She in a freezer truck behind the hospital waiting for you to claim her body. Grandparents are in an assisted living facility out of state, so your neighbors are caring of your 7- and 5-year-old boys and 3-year-old daughter. Super Dad, everything is cool — maybe! Duke ran away from home and was found, put in the pound, and then put down. Your mail has been piling up and your neighbors noticed an Urgent Open Immediately envelope, so they opened it for you. It stated that you were eight months behind in your house payment and the bank has taken it over, everything will be sold. Your neighbors have since turned the

children over to the state. The two young ones are in different foster homes. The oldest was sent to an orphanage. If you’re the wife of a Stupid Dad, paste this to the bathroom mirror for his reading. Take charge, wear a mask, get your vaccination as you will struggle to raise his children alone. Stay safe, stay healthy, stop praying for Stupid Dad — he died. Ronald Nigh Highlands Ranch Urge Congress to help kids As we look back at Mother’s Day, I reflect on how hard mothers have worked during the COVID-19 pandemic to care for their children. Unfortunately, too many moms are still struggling to provide nourishing food for their kids. I facilitate a food program based in Littleton, delivering nourishing food weekly to 21 families in the vicinity. This program coordinates with local schools, which have reported children are often too hungry to focus during class

time. Programs like the one I am involved in are a critical support to moms and children, but are not enough. This year, Congress can go a long way in supporting mothers and kids by making the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children (WIC) work better. While WIC provides vital nutrition to millions of low-income moms and young children, only half of those eligible for WIC actually participate. That’s why our policymakers must take advantage of the opportunity to improve and modernize WIC through the Child Nutrition Reauthorization (CNR) currently being discussed in Congress. With wise investments in modernization, the program will have greater reach and help ensure children and mothers can access nutritional food. Join Save the Children Action Network and me in supporting mothers by urging Senators Michael Bennet and John Hickenlooper to vote in favor of WIC modernizations in the CNR. Let’s ensure that moms, infants and young children can access

the critical nutrition and health services they need to thrive. Mary Carter Food Bank Ministries St. James Presbyterian Church Littleton

VOICES

It’s time for some Main Street magic

s the weather continues to improve each week and spring is in full bloom, it is the perfect time to visit and support our local Main Street, experiencing the magic that a beautiful walk down the center of town can provide. There are certain WINNING shops that just WORDS seem to provide us with those “feel good” moments. The local florists are usually a great place to start our journey, especially if we want to fill our senses with the fragrant beauty Michael Norton that fills the air in and around the shop. It’s also a wonderful idea to share a little demonstration of love by picking up some flowers for someone special in our life. I have heard it said that if you want to be happy, buy an ice cream shop. Well, the next best thing to owning an ice cream shop is to stop in and grab a frozen treat. It’s

almost impossible to visit an ice cream shop and not smile. One of my very favorite things to see is the joy of families and children sharing the joy that ice cream can create. And the ice cream faces of the children as they work through the deliciousness melting all over their hands, face, and clothes is always so much fun. And if it’s not the flowers or ice cream that helps create a little magic, I am pretty confident that pizza might do the trick. Or starting the day with a breakfast at one of the local diners, coffee shops, or restaurants. And if it’s a midday visit, our local eateries always have something to fill our hearts and bellies with sensational meals. And there is possibly no better way to wind down the day of shopping on Main Street than stopping in for a little liquid refreshment at happy hour or sticking around for the dinner specials created by our favorite local chefs. It is said that it is better to give than to receive. There is probably someone in our circle of friends or in our family that has a birthday,

anniversary, or other milestone coming up in and where a thoughtful gift is in order. As we stroll along Main Street, there may be a few shops that we haven’t visited in a while, and they just might have that perfect gift we have been searching for. Maybe it’s time for a manicure and/or pedicure, a haircut, the perfect day to treat ourselves to a massage, get our shoes repaired, pick up a new outfit, grab a new pair of summer flip-flops, drop by the bank, pick up our clothes from the dry cleaner, listen to the live music, and simply just take in all the magic that our local town has to offer. Should we find ourselves in the need of a good dose of fresh air, there is nothing like walking among the shops and doing a little window shopping. As we walk along the sidewalks, we will more than likely see people holding hands, looking through smiling eyes, and just taking in the magic of Main Street. These past 14 months have been really tough on all businesses,

and our local shopkeepers, restaurateurs, jewelers, manicurists, bartenders, stylists and barbers, and all those who have provided us with awesome service for many years, could really use our smiles. If we are masked, let’s show them the smiles in our eyes. If we can be unmasked, our smile can let them know just how grateful we are for all that they do and for being there for us through the years. Spring is in full bloom, so whether it is today, tomorrow, or this weekend, I hope we will do our best to embrace our local businesses, friends, and neighbors who are all a part of the magic of Main Street. As always, I would love to hear your story at mnorton@tramazing. com. And when we remember that it is better to give than to receive, creating magic up and down Main Street, it really will be a better than good year. Michael Norton is the grateful CEO of Tramazing.com, a personal and professional coach, and a consultant, trainer, encourager and motivator to businesses of all sizes.

We’re staying home to watch instead. I ingest films like vitamins, but rarely watch new ones which generally rely on special effects, extremes in violence and vulgarity-laden scripts.

es, and, in the case of the Grammys, pay tribute to music I abhor. There are too many of them. One a week. We love to give out awards. Frame a show around the idea. Get women to wear ridiculous clothing and parade them on a red carpet. I don’t care for them now, but once upon a time I did. But only for the majors, not hair styling, makeup, key grip, lighting, or cue cards. The nominees for best song were and are a bore. Now and then (Bob Dylan’s “Things Have Changed” in 2001) there’s one that is worth listening to. How many of the Oscar-nominated films have I seen? None. How many of the Grammy-nominated performers do I listen to? None. Theories vary about why the important 18-49 demographic has tuned those programs and other award shows out. They’re overlong, for one thing. As I said, “padded.” There have been some memorable and weird moments.

Just four years ago, the Academy Award for Best Picture initially went to the wrong picture. If I could be assured that glamorous stars would bungle the whole thing like a Marx Brothers movie, I might watch. Or if the banter between presenters had any naturalness, I might watch. Or if they’d just get all of those stars in the room, tell them the results would be mailed, then make them and the audience at home watch “Sunset Boulevard,” I might too. Every year, there’s a controversy. In the recent past: not enough women and minorities represented in the industry and in the nominations. This year, a presumptive Best Actor wasn’t and an 83-year-old actor not in attendance was. The inevitable grumblers grumbled. It doesn’t matter who wins. Sure, it will look good on your resume. And your salary might jump from $10 million to $20 million, but that’s about it. How many times have you rewatched these winners?

“Shakespeare in Love,” “Crash,” “Chicago”? Kevin Spacey (remember him) won more Academy Awards for Best Actor than Humphrey Bogart. How is that possible? Bogart didn’t win for “The Maltese Falcon,” “The Big Sleep,” “Casablanca,” “To Have and Have Not,” or “The Caine Mutiny.” He won for his performance in “The African Queen.” Quick: Who won Best Actor for his performance in 1997’s “Life is Beautiful” and then ate the theatre on his way up to receive the award? Maybe we’re just rethinking many activities once thought to be meaningful and important. And entertaining. Waiting three hours to see Sacheen Littlefeather isn’t worth it. Winners are posted online immediately and highlights wind up on YouTube forever. That includes Littlefeather.

LIFE

Denver comic artist turns pen on local haunts with ‘Queen City’ BY PAUL ALBANI-BURGIO PALBANIBURGIO@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

I

f you haven’t been out and about much in Denver recently, you could very well be shocked by what’s there — and perhaps more noticeably, what isn’t. Even by the standards of this constantly changing city, the last few months have been especially bleak when it comes to the fates of some of the city’s most iconic and enduring places. Just in 2020, the city lost such standbys as the 87-year-old jazz club El Chapultepec, the 74-year-old 20th Street Café and the 42-year-old Market at Larimer Square. That’s 203 years of history gone in just a single year. And the pace doesn’t show any sign of slowing. Already this year, the 30-year-old Denver Diner and 26-yearold sports bar LoDo’s Bar & Grill have closed their doors. Heck, even the landmark Casa Bonita is facing an uncertain future after its owners filed for bankruptcy earlier this year. But Denverites who cannot sit inside these iconic places can now revisit many of them on the pages of “Queen City,” a new comic book by Denver artist Karl Christian Krumpholz that serves as both a love letter and permanent memorial to several of Denver’s most treasured locations. Krumpholz, who moved to Denver from the East Coast with his wife 10 years ago, said he originally envisioned the book as being a “time and a place thing” that would show what Denver was currently like. But when he shared some of his early illustrations online, he found there was a desire for a book that would also include illustrations of locations that have already been lost. “A lot of people started then approaching me and going ‘well, what about this place’ or ‘you need to illustrate that place,” he said. That’s how the book began and grew to its current 160 colorful pages and came to include many departed Denver spots, including long-gone bars like The Terminal Bar and Muddy’s Cafe, which both closed long before Krumpholz even arrived in the city. “I know nothing about some of these places that were long gone when I showed up,” said Krumpholz. “But it has such a place in people’s hearts in the city that of course I had to include them.” Those bars of the past (plus other long-ago closed spots such as the old Aladdin Theater on Colfax) are rendered alongside remaining classics such as The Satire Lounge, The Brown Palace Hotel and yes, even Casa Bonita, in Krumpholz’s distinctive comic book style — which even he has trouble describing. However, one of the primary elements is that

it uses only five colors: black, white, cyan, yellow and gray. “I like using those colors because it feels like a noir melancholy,” he said. “And I like that feeling that I try to allow the ink to reflect. But I don’t know if it has a name.” A COVID era comic While “Queen City” is Krumpholz’s most intensive look at Denver, it is far from the first time he has turned his pen on the city. He has been drawing The Denver Bootleg, a comic strip chronicling local Denver bands, for the alternative weekly newspaper Westword since 2015 (the strip has been on hiatus since the start of the pandemic). He’s also the writer of “30 Miles of Crazy,” a free web comic which chronicles life along Colfax Av-

enue in Denver. In January 2020, Krumpholz launched a new called “The Lighthouse in the City.” The timing of that launch turned out to be fortuitous as the comic is autobiographical in nature, which Krumpholz said provided a perfect outlet for him to explore his experiences with life during the pandemic. “It was supposed to be a good exercise to do a daily comic as well as a way to document a surgery that my wife was getting and her recovery, which I figured would be an interesting story,” he said. “But by the third month, it was basically how we were coping and this day-to-day life in this new reality and it’s really become kind of a slice of life in this period.” Since that launch, Krumpholz has been publishing at least one page a

The indie way But don’t go looking for “Queen City” or the latest volume of “The Lighthouse in the City” on Amazon or at Barnes and Noble. Krumpholz prefers to sell the books at independent shops, such as Kilgore Books and Comics in Capitol Hill and Mutiny Information Café on South Broadway (the first two stores to sell the book).

Robert Eilert’s artwork in new exhibit at gallery Retired emeritus professor finds joy in artistic avocation BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Littleton Fine Art Guild members responded quickly to word that their beloved 1888 Depot Art Gallery could open again after a long, dark stretch. They found it freshly painted, with new lighting and a new system for hanging the art. (The City of Littleton owns the historic wooden building, similar to depots across the country.) The Member Appreciation Exhibit runs through May 22, to be followed by an Anniversary Show through July 24 — also of member work. Next will be the 37th All Colorado Show (see notice in my column), a celebrated part of Western Welcome Week. Among Littleton Fine Arts Guild members is Robert Eilert, who said: “To work with eye and hand to create something is a blessing and a joy. I am a perpetual student and by extension a teacher.” Eilert, a retired emeritus professor of pediatrics and orthopedic surgery, grew up in Memphis, trained and served as a combat surgeon in the Air Force and Marines and then spent 43 years of his 55-year medical career in the orthopedic surgery

department of Children’s Hospital of Denver. He cites fond memories of associate Dr. Frank Netter, “who was the Norman Rockwell of medical illustration and education.” “About 10 years ago, I became part of the Denver Art Students League. I worked through every studio in the building with teachers who are knowledgeable and generous. Three of my friends encouraged me to join the Littleton Fine Arts Guild, my important art community today. “As a visual artist I have passed a series of milestones: selling to friends, selling to strangers, being accepted in juried shows and winning Best of Show. Even more important have been the friendships I have made in art. It is a gift to be able to follow my passion. “Today my avocation of painting has become a major daily event of my life in retirement as emeritus professor of pediatrics and orthopedic surgery.” He will certainly be among Colorado artists entering the annual All Colorado Arts Show, although it is open to all Colorado artists, not limited to guild members.

But even with that relatively limited distribution strategy (the book can also be ordered online at tintopress.com), the book’s publisher, Ted Intorcio of indie publisher Tinto Books, said he has trouble keeping the book on the shelves. That’s welcome news for both Mutiny and Kilgore Books and Comics, which have just had to weather what Intorcio calls a bad year for bookstores as sales moved even more online as a result of the pandemic. “But it’s turned around,” said Intorcio. “For instance, Mutiny just had one of the best months

they’ve ever had and I think that is because people are starting to get out again.” Still, Intorcio said the model he used for publishing “Queen City,” which involved using the Kickstarter online fundraising platform to fund the cost of publishing it and several other comics titles, with backers getting the first copies, is emblematic of the kind of approach indie publishers had to employ to get books to press during the pandemic — and likely even after it is over. “The Kickstarter has been a great source for me because it sort of helps with promoting the book to the people who want to read it,” he said. “And then after the Kickstarter fulfillment is done the buzz is created and stores are more interested

The curator of the Western History Collection at the Denver Public Library has also requested a copy to add to the collection while the Jeffco Public Library has also ordered several copies. “It’s being distributed in a few places that I otherwise wouldn’t have had access to and that’s a real feather in both Karl and I’s caps,” he said.

ly be especially treasured by those who miss the old places depicted in the book and feel they are losing the city they know, Krumpholz said he doesn’t necessarily feel the same way. “When I talk to people I always hear ‘Denver is disappearing and old Denver is gone and we don’t like this new thing that is coming,’” he said. “And I totally understand where these people are coming from — it hurts when a beloved neighborhood institution closes. But the thing is, when something disappears and is replaced then that new thing will become the new neighborhood institution within 10 years.”

DEDICATION FROM PAGE 1

Bielefeldt said it came to her when she was trying to figure out what project to do to earn her gold badge. After the shooting, she recalled religious leaders, community leaders and random citizens who gave her quilts, brought food, and just checked on her to see if she was OK. “This felt like the perfect opportunity to give back to the community that helped me,” she said. “I have a lot of bad memories about this location. I wanted to do something to brighten the area and serve as something positive. I remember after the shooting, during a vigil, students calling for help for mental health. I hope when people look at these paintings, they feel the positive and know they are seen.” To turn her vision into reality, Bielefeldt commissioned local artist James Holmes. Holmes said out of nowhere, he had this young student contact him with this big idea and once he met Bielefeldt and talked to her, he knew he was on board. Looking at art as a visual language, Holmes said his top goal was to take Bielefeldt’s vision, goals of recognizing mental health and incorporate her own words to encourage community and positivity through a group of paintings. After collaborating, both Holmes and Bieledfeldt agreed that making each panel represent a season was the best approach. “This group of paintings is meant to tell a story or share an experience,” Holmes said. “We don’t want them to be just a quick glance. We want people to see something different every time they look. Representing winter, spring, summer and fall — they serve as a metaphor or an analogy of what a person goes through in struggling with mental health.” Holmes admitted there was a lot of pressure to develop images that would suit the cause. “As I worked on them, I was not always sure I liked what I saw,” Holmes said. “I knew I could not just put the canvas in the corner and forget it. I kept going to turn this wonderful young lady’s vision into reality. I had a desired outcome and message to carry out.” While focusing on the importance of mental health and letting members of the community know no one is alone, Holmes and Bieldefeldt did not

want to make it a memorial, but also did not want to forget the victims in the shoooting. The two came to the agreement to place a subtle but meaningful tribute in one of the panels. That tribute is a small heart in the sky of panel No. 2. In seeing the panels, Douglas County Commissioner Lora Thomas said she is blown away not just by the work Holmes produced, but with the message and dedication shown by Bielefeldt. “Just look at all the badges on her vest,” she said, “that alone demonstrates her drive and dedication throughout her entire life.” Douglas County Sheriff’s Office Chief Steve Johnson said, “It is inspirational for all of us to see this young lady take such bold steps to embrace tragedy.” By special invitation from Bieldefeldt, former Columbine High School Principal Frank DeAngelis spoke about surviving tragedy and getting help when needed. DeAngelis said students like Bielefedlt are special in “changing our lives every day.” DeAngelis said just like he found in 1999 after the Columbine shooting, the community is strong, people are strong, and they can heal. In working to heal, DeAngelis said an important thing to remember is that getting counseling and admitting to needing help is not a weakness. Instead, he said, it is a sign of strength. “It is a marathon and not a sprint,” he said. “There’s going to be some journeys. There is going to be some ups and downs. Just never give up.”

The four panels of art, created by James Holmes, represent the four seasons of nature, serving as a metaphor for the highs and lows and changing cycles of struggles with mental health.

Douglas County Commissioner Lora Thomas stresses the county’s dedication to mental health during the May 4 ceremony in Highlands Ranch.

The governor said support from people like Priola and Suthers proves that the policy strikes the right balance. “It’s rare to see people of so many different perspectives coming together around something that we need to do,” Polis said. “Most importantly, this bill is for you. It’s to finally fix our damn roads.” Parts of the bill were first unveiled to reporters in March, but several changes have been made since then. Those alterations include: Gasoline and diesel fuel fees would start lower — at 2 cents per gallon starting in July 2022 — and increase 1 cent every year up to 8 cents • The delivery fee was initially set at 25 cents, but it has been hiked to 27 cents • The additional fee on top of the existing $50 charge for electric vehicle owners would be increased by a range of $55 to $159 instead of by a range of $60.19 to $153.20 • The total general fund contribution would rise to $1.5 billion from $1.2 billion • The total dollars in the plan increases to $5.3 billion from $5 billion • $2.5 million would be set aside for Front Range rail, up from no allocation in earlier versions of the measure Some proposals stayed same Some elements did not change between the earlier version and

Due to ongoing public health and state orders, the public is invited to participate electronically; please see the City’s website at www.castlepinesco.gov to register and view the meeting. The purpose of the hearing is to consider the Amendment and to form a basis for adopting a resolution approving, conditionally approving or disapproving the Amendment.

The property within the boundaries of the District is generally located within a portion of Section 2, Township 7 South, Range 67 West of the 6th P.M. The District was organized as a metropolitan district to finance the construction of certain public improvements and has the authority to impose a mill levy for repayment of debt and for administrative, operation and maintenance purposes. The maximum mill levy that the District may impose upon taxable property within the District for the combination of debt service and for administrative, operation and maintenance costs shall not exceed 59 mills, as adjusted per the Service Plan; however, this maximum shall not apply when the total amount of debt is equal to or less than fifty percent of the District’s assessed valuation. If the method of calculating assessed valuation is changed by law or any constitutionally mandated tax credit, cut, or abatement, the mill levy limitation may be increased or decreased to reflect such changes, as provided in the Service Plan.
