Mom joined by hundreds at vigil for son who was killed in Highlands Ranch crash

BY HALEY LENA HLENA@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Hundreds of people gathered around the family of 13-year-old Alex Mackiewicz the night of March 7 at a candlelight vigil by the side of Highlands Ranch Parkway. Only a day earlier the boy had been struck and killed by a car.

“It’s

very hard

for me to come here today and face so many people, but something has to change and maybe it starts with my son’s death,” said Mackiewicz’s mother, Victoria.

Amid the sounds of Mackiewicz’s family and friends — including children and young teens weeping and holding onto one another — people took turns sharing how much Alex

meant to them. Fellow students came up and spoke to his humorous, fun side, prompting laughter, and praising him as a classmate.  His mother made a plea to parents to make a di erence in kids’ safety and pedestrians.

A memorial for Mountain Ridge Middle School seventh-grader Alex Mackiewicz was set up on Highlands Ranch Parkway, near Venneford Ranch Road. Mackiewicz was crossing the intersection the morning of March 6 when he was fatally struck by a vehicle going eastbound on Highlands Ranch Parkway.

Highlands Ranch Metro District lowers property tax rate

BY HALEY LENA HLENA@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

e Highlands Ranch Metro District board of directors is looking to give homeowners a break on their taxes in a year marked by skyrocketing property values and taxes.

e district said it would alleviate some of those pressures on homeowners by lowering its portion of taxes on their annual bills.

e district’s board approved a mill levy of 10.110 for 2024, a 9.7% reduction from 2023. at means people will pay $10.11 per 1,000 dollars of assessed property value. A mill levy is a tax rate applied to a property value assessment to raise revenue to fund infrastructure and

services in the area.

Even with the decrease, the metro district will see an increase of $2.6 million in revenues. e additional funds “will ensure continuity of operations and allow for investments in the community,” the district said, including playground replacements and park improvements, additional reserve funds for the Highlands Ranch Historic Park buildout, parkway and fence improvements, and construction and maintenance of community trails.

A special legislative session was held at the Capitol to address rising property values and property taxes after the failure of Proposition HH last November. Lawmakers sought to address the problem by lower-

ing the residential assessment rate from 6.765% to 6.7%.

e metro district’s maximum mill levy, as authorized by voters, is 12.750. For the last ve years, the district’s mill levy has been 11.205.

e metro district’s unaudited property tax collection amount in 2023 is just over $21.7 million, Sherry Eppers, community relations manager for the district, told the Highlands Ranch Herald.

In 2024, the district is projected to collect just over $23.6 million.

For a property valued at $500,000, the owner would pay the district $339. Eppers added that the median home value in Highlands Ranch is $706,480, therefore, the average homeowner in the district can ex-

pect to pay about $479.

TABOR restrictions played a role in the decision to lower the mill levy, said Eppers, however, the district made an additional decision in response to rising property values.

“While our TABOR restriction implicitly lowered the number of mills that could be collected, the number of mills certi ed by the board is lower than what the TABOR restriction allows,” Eppers said.

Since property tax is paid based on the home value, lowering the tax rate lowers the amount of property taxes paid by residents.

“While the amount a resident pays in property taxes may increase, this action ensures that the increase is not as signi cant,” said Eppers.

Schools superintendent named Advocate of the Year

BY MCKENNA HARFORD MHARFORD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

e Castle Rock Chamber has named Douglas County School District Superintendent Erin Kane its 2024 Advocate of the Year for her e orts to support teachers and educate the future workforce.

e chamber highlighted Kane for her work to convince voters last year to pass a $66 million mill levy override that raised teacher pay by an average of 9%.

A statement from the school district echoed that sentiment and noted that o ering competitive pay is key for the district to recruit and retain teachers.

“She brings people together to provide the best education possible to the students of Douglas County,” the statement said. “ is, in turn, bene ts the Douglas County community for generations. High quality schools produce future workers, keep property values intact, and make Douglas County a desirable place to work and live.”

Kane received her award at the chamber’s annual gala, which was held recently in Castle Pines.

The Castle Rock Chamber awarded Douglas County School District Superintendent Erin Kane with the 2024 Advocate of the Year Award. The award recognizes her efforts to support teachers and educate the future workforce.

Here’s How to Play the Inspection Game on Both Sides of a Residential Transaction

A common strategy for winning a bidding war — and I’m seeing more bidding wars nowadays, including on our own listings — is to “waive inspection.”

Another is to waive appraisal objection, but I’ll deal with that in a future column.

There are three inspection fields in the state-mandated contract to buy and sell a home: inspection termination, inspection objection and inspection resolution.

use other termination deadlines (such as for title, HOA documents, insurability, etc.) to terminate for an inspection issue identified later on.

In composing a contract to purchase a home, the buyer might decide to sweeten his or her offer by eliminating the inspection contingency. This is obviously attractive to the seller, but “buyer beware!”

First of all, realize that the buyer can exercise one or the other — inspection termination or inspection objection, but not both, even though deadlines can be entered for both. (Inspection resolution only applies if there’s an inspection objection.) If a buyer submits an inspection objection with a list of requested repairs, he can’t change his mind later on and decide to terminate. At that point, if the seller submits an inspection resolution agreeing to every demand you made, the buyer is bound (in my non-legal opinion) to sign it as a matter of good faith (which is embodied in the contract), and once both parties have signed it, they are “past inspection.”

That good faith provision of the contract (Section 28) says that both buyer and seller must act in good faith with respect to sections of the contract, including inspection, which have termination provisions, and the Colorado Real Estate Commission has instructed us that this means you can only use an opportunity to terminate if you are terminating pursuant to the stated provision.

In other words, while you can terminate for any reason (including buyer’s remorse) under the inspection termination provision, which merely states that the buyer has found the property’s condition unsatisfactory “in Buyer’s sole subjective discretion,” the buyer cannot

(Given the recent increases in home insurance costs, however, a buyer could reasonably defend terminating on insurability, which again is at buyer’s “sole subjective discretion,” without revealing that it was really buyer’s remorse, or because of a newly identified inspection issue.)

Let’s say that a buyer has waived inspection objection but not inspection termination. Both buyer and seller need to recognize that this does not mean that the buyer can’t get the seller to fix a serious issue. The buyer still has the right to inspect every conceivable component or feature of the property — even whether there’s an externality such as a noisy neighbor or construction project nearby. If he finds that there’s a major problem (such as a structural issue or sewer line collapse), the buyer’s agent can notify the listing agent that the buyer intends to terminate because of it and, guess what? The listing agent will explain to the seller that this issue exists and will have to be disclosed to a future buyer, likely convincing the seller to say, “I’ll fix that problem if you don’t terminate.”

Upon receiving a purchase contract which waives inspection objection but not termination, a good listing agent will warn his seller about this possibility, just as a good buyer’s agent might advise the buyer that waiving inspection objection isn’t as final as it may sound.

One way to make a contract which waives inspection objection but not termination more attractive to the seller is one that was included in the purchase contract on our own Arvada listing featured a couple weeks ago. The buyer included an earnest money deposit that was higher than the minimum specified in the MLS and stated under additional provisions that $10,000 of it would be non-refundable upon acceptance of the contract by the seller. I wouldn't advise this strategy without a detailed inspec-

tion (perhaps with a professional inspector) during a scheduled showing prior to submitting a contract with this provision. The buyer could still terminate but would be out $10,000, and it might reduce the incentive for the seller to say, “Hey, I’ll fix that!”

Another common provision in a competitive bidding situation is for the contract to limit the extent of demands to be included in buyer’s inspection objection. For example, “health and safety items only,” or “only issues requiring over $2,000 to mitigate or repair.”

In responding to a list of inspection objections, it’s increasingly common, especially among elderly sellers, to offer a financial concession or a price reduction instead of fixing certain items. One drawback of this approach, however, is that if the buyer is financing the purchase with a mortgage, the lender won’t want to see that a serious problem is not being addressed prior to closing. This is completely understandable. And it’s hard to keep that information from the lender without being guilty of mortgage fraud, which is a federal offense.

A strategy I favor in that case is to have the seller pre-pay for the repair at closing, with the title company writing a check payable to a vendor for the repair out of the seller’s proceeds from the transaction. Alternatively, the title company might escrow the money for said repair, giving the buyer an opportunity to shop for the best vendor.

Sometimes not all inspections can be completed by the objection deadline. The buyer could ask for an amendment to the contract changing the deadline, but there’s another, simpler solution that I have employed. Let’s say you don’t have the radon results prior to the objection deadline. I would insert in my buyer’s inspection objection the following sentence: “In the event that radon is determined by the inspector to be above the EPA action level, seller agrees to mitigate it using a licensed radon mitigation company.”

The purpose of inspections is to discover “hidden defects,” but sometimes a buyer will want to ask for something that wasn’t hidden at all, such as a

cracked driveway or old carpeting. My suggestion as the seller’s agent is to deny those requests outright, since they should have been (and probably were) taken into consideration when the buyer chose to submit their contract.

Now let’s say the seller submits an inspection resolution that ignores too many of the buyer’s demands. If both parties don’t sign a resolution prior to the resolution deadline, the contract automatically expires. Remember, this is a negotiation, just like the negotiation which got the home under contract. Either party, not just the seller, can write the inspection resolution, so the procedure for “countering” an unacceptable inspection resolution is to write another one, back and forth if necessary.

Getting a backup contract has a role to play in handling inspection demands. With a backup contract for the same price, my seller can share the buyer’s demands (plus the full inspection report) with the backup buyer and ask if they would accept the house as-in without those demands for repairs. This creates a no-lose situation for my seller. I can tell the buyer that our backup buyer will accept the house as-is if they terminate. The buyer will then likely withdraw their inspection objection, but if they decide to terminate, that has the same effect. Either way, it’s a win for my client, which is what I’m hired to get.

This long column reflects over two decades of experience dealing with inspection issues for both buyers and sellers — and I have not covered all the scenarios one might encounter. If nothing else, I hope this article convinces readers that having an experienced agent, such as those of us at Golden Real Estate, on your side in a real estate transaction is the best way to assure the optimal outcome for you.

Inspection Is Buyer’s Responsibility

Now and then I see an inspection objection which calls for the seller to hire a specialist, such as an engineer or electrician, to inspect this-or-that and to fix any problem discovered, but the contract specifically says that inspection is the responsibility and expense of the buyer.

“Concentrate on giving and the getting will take care of itself.” —Anonymous

Could Castle Rock join district that funds museums, arts?

Members of a Castle Rock arts advisory group are asking the town to support a 2024 ballot initiative that would increase sales taxes to fund local art, history, culture and science organizations.

e group advocated for the town to ask for voter to decide whether to join the Scienti c and Cultural Facilities District. If voters agree, a .01% sales tax, or 1 cent per $10, would be added to all purchases in town beginning in 2030.

Most of the municipalities within Douglas County, as well as the county, are in the district, which distributes funds through grants to nonpro ts. Adams, Arapahoe, Boulder, Broom eld, Denver and Je erson counties are also part of it.

In addition to Castle Rock, Larkspur is not part of the district.

Jen Perry, a member of the art advisory group, said Castle Rock residents already pay the tax anytime they shop outside of the town, but do not reap any of the bene ts locally.

“We’re already subsidizing it,” Perry said. “If you shop at the mall, Costco, Trader Joes or Best Buy, you’re already paying for that arts funding that isn’t coming back to Castle Rock.”

In 2023, Douglas County received around $1.5 million to distribute to

participating local organizations. More than 40 schools also received funded programming, like eld trips and classroom visits from professionals in arts, sciences and culture.

None of that funding went to organizations in Castle Rock and 19 of the schools in town are not able to access funding or programming.

“No (district) funded organizations can come into Castle Rock and no organizations in Castle Rock can get (district) funding for any of their programs, even if they go to a (district) funded area,” Perry said. “So we’ve become a little bit of a cultural desert.”

Perry said 16 nonpro ts based in Castle Rock would likely be eligible for funding if the town joins the district, such as the Tri Arts Project, the Castle Rock Historical Society and the Castle Rock Fire Department Pipes and Drums.

e advisory group estimates joining the district would cost around $22 per resident per year at the highest and would likely be lower because of shoppers coming to Castle Rock from out of town.

Perry said participating municipalities see an average of 70% of the sales tax paid for by non-resident shoppers.

“More likely, the impact will be

around $6,” Perry said.

Perry said joining the district could also bring in additional tax revenue to the town by attracting visitors to events and enticing companies to open in town.

“Arts, culture and science can actually contribute to the economy, both on the micro-level through event expenditures, but also in diversifying our tax base,” she said.

To put a measure to voters to join the district, Castle Rock Town Council must hold a vote of its own that would place a measure on the 2024 ballot. Another way the measure could go before voters would be to petition on by collecting resident signatures.

e district has rules about how municipalities can join and when. Castle Rock must vote by 2025 for participation starting in 2030.

If the e ort fails, the next opportunity to join the district would be in 2042.

“We will have skipped an entire generation of kids,” she said.

Multiple residents spoke in favor of joining the district. Julie Browning said her children missed out on arts, science and culture activities growing up in Castle Rock and wants that to change before she has grandchildren.

“Please, don’t allow my grandchildren to grow up without the things that would have bene ted my children,” Browning told the town council on Feb. 20. “It’s time for us to do this.”

Council members didn’t comment on the presentation, but Town Manager David Corliss said there could be an impact to the town budget if the council decides to move forward with a ballot measure.

“ at would be money we could not ask for to fund town services and I think that has to be part of the conversation,” Corliss said, adding this year will likely see a tighter budget.

A group of Castle Rock residents are looking to join the Scientific and Cultural Facilities District, which provides arts, culture and science nonprofits with grant funding. Castle Rock is one of the only municipalities in Douglas County not currently part of the district.

Autopsy: Inmate died in jail due to heart problems

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

In December, an inmate at the Douglas County jail died after experiencing what the sheri ’s o ce called an “unknown medical issue.” An autopsy report obtained by the Douglas County News-Press shows that the man had a heart disease.

It also shows he had substances in his body that are generally related to treating opioid addiction, but the Douglas County Coroner’s O ce concluded his death wasn’t related to overdose or withdrawal.

e man, Wesley Mosher, 33, appeared to be a “normally-developed, well-nourished” man, the autopsy report says.

“I would say that it’s rare to have somebody of that age to have” such a heart problem, Douglas County Coroner Raeann Brown told the Douglas County News-Press.

Speaking generally, she said if

PATIO

someone has a family history of heart problems, it could lead to issues in a younger, otherwise healthy-appearing person.

“Ultimately, given the severity of his heart disease, basically, he was a pretty sick gentleman,” Brown said.

‘Similar to heart attack’

Mosher, 6 feet tall and 164 pounds, died because of “acute coronary thrombosis due to atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease,” the autopsy report says.

His right coronary artery was almost 100% “occluded,” meaning blood ow could not go to the rest of his heart, Brown said.

“So then the blood backs up, and that’s where that blood clot formed. He did have an infarct, which is similar to a heart attack,” Brown added.

As more Colorado students get free meals, state may cut back

BY YESENIA ROBLES CHALKBEAT COLORADO

In the rst year that Colorado is paying districts to give students free meals at school, more kids are eating than expected.

at has left the program $56.1 million short this year. And lawmakers are working on how to close the funding gap.

Colorado voters in 2022 supported creating limits on tax deductions for the state’s highest earners as a way to fund free school meals for all students. Advocates at the time said that there were families in Colorado who, due to the state’s high cost of living, were struggling nancially even though they didn’t qualify for subsidized meals under federal poverty guidelines.

In calculating the cost of the pro-

gram, analysts expected that about 25% more children would eat a school meal, including students who would have quali ed for free meals already and those who wouldn’t.

Instead, schools this year have seen a more than 35% increase in breakfast participation, and a more than 31% increase for lunch compared with last year.

e higher-than-expected participation — and program cost — is due largely to students who previously had to pay for a school meal. In most cases, the federal government doesn’t reimburse the districts for any part of those children’s meals, leaving the state to cover those costs alone.

In the Cherry Creek School District, district leaders said they are serving about 32,262 meals a day on average, up from 23,317 a day last

year — a 38% increase.

e state legislature’s Joint Budget Committee this week agreed to ll the $56.1 million gap this year. About $31.5 million can be covered with additional revenue that has come in from the new tax provision, but the rest will likely need to come from the state’s general fund.

e committee is also providing $100,000 this year, and $150,000 next year, for the Colorado Department of Education to hire a consultant to help come up with solutions that might keep the program on budget next school year. at e ort could involve guring out how to maximize how much money districts get from the federal government.

But lawmakers said the state will consider all options. at includes cutting the program, changing the eligibility rules for free meals, or

nding new ways to pay for it, such as pulling money from the education budget.

Committee lawmakers said that changing the eligibility rules would be a last resort.

“ ere are a lot of families that technically don’t qualify for free or reduced lunch, but man is it a huge help to them making rent,” said Sen. Je Bridges, a Democrat from Greenwood Village. “I would be really uncomfortable with anything that puts a means test back into this program.”

Bridges also said a goal of the program was to remove the stigma of eating free school meals by making them available to everyone, not just to students from low-income families.

His heart problems appear to have developed over some time, Brown said.

Many factors can a ect the heart, such as poor diet or a family history of health issues, Brown said.

“You could still do everything right and still have it or get it,” Brown said.

‘Negative for drugs’

Mosher’s toxicology shows he tested “presumptive positive” for naloxone, or Narcan, a medication that is used to reverse opioid symptoms and intoxication, Brown said.

He also tested positive for buprenorphine and norbuprenorphine, byproducts of Suboxone, a medication that is generally used to address opioid addiction, Brown said.

Sheri Weekly warns of scams on older adults

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

It was just a simple popup message on a computer.

It led the 79-year-old Highlands Ranch woman who got it to call an 888 phone number.

A man convinced the woman to buy two gold bars. It was part of a scam, in which she would be bilked out of roughly $120,000.

Along the way, the woman was told to meet someone at a convenience store in the Littleton area. She was told she’d be reimbursed by check. Finally, her bank told her she had been caught up in a scam. at’s according to Douglas County Sheri Darren Weekly, who gathered with police chiefs from Lone Tree, Parker and Castle Rock to call attention to the many scams

hitting older residents — with the hope of providing a few tips to help people avoid falling prey to the tricks.

Asked about when scamming people out of money online and/ or over the phone became a trend in Douglas County, Weekly said: “Honestly, it’s been decades.”

In Parker, residents have been scammed out of more than $800,000 in the last six months in cryptocurrency-related schemes, according to Parker police Chief Jim Tsurapas.  Scammers are “targeting our elderly population by fabricating emergencies” and requesting payment via cryptocurrency systems, Tsurapas said.

While the scams can happen to anyone, older adults can often be more vulnerable, Lone Tree police Chief Kirk Wilson said.

La Ciudad ¡Hola!

“ ink about it: Our grandparents, our parents, have worked their entire lives,” and someone comes along and decides they’re going to take away their earnings, Castle Rock police Chief Jack Cauley said.

“It’s heartbreaking,” he added.

Another common tactic of the con artists is to send a text message that attempts to initiate a scam through a technique called phishing that attempts to get a person to share personal information. Another common ploy used by the crooks is to send an email that says you owe a bill, Wilson said.

“I personally almost (fell victim) to that until I realized, ‘What am I doing?’” Wilson said.

When in doubt, people should call authorities, o cials said at a Feb. 29 news conference to bring attention to the issue at the sheri ’s o ce.

“If you suspect that you are a victim of a scam, contact your local law enforcement immediately. Do not wait until the next day. Time is of the essence,” Weekly said, adding that authorities may be able to get

your money back if you reach out soon enough.

“Scammers often use social engineering tactics to gain information and manipulate their victims,” Parker’s chief, Tsurapas, said.

Older scam methods involved gift cards, but now cryptocurrency is often used, according to Parker police.

And, many scammers impersonate law enforcement personnel, Weekly said, adding that his o ce has received many calls about it.

Sometimes, the money is never retrieved.

None of the $800,000 lost by Parker residents was recovered, according to the Parker Police Department.

But, in the gold bar scam, authorities arrested a 26-year-old suspect, Sagar Patel, of New Jersey, according to Weekly.

“ ese cases are complex,” and it’s often di cult to nd the criminals, Weekly said, urging people to remember not to give out their information to strangers.

As technology continues to advance, authorities warn that scams are getting more sophisticated.

SHUTTERSTOCK IMAGE

Advocacy groups are also working on possible solutions. Anya Rose, director of public policy for Hunger Free Colorado, said the group is considering how to make the program more sustainable, including the possibility of a new ballot measure.

Without any changes to the meal program, state analysts predict Colorado will come up short by $27.8 mil-

lion next year.

In addition to the universal free school meals, voters approved three grant programs that were supposed to be rolled out in the coming school years. e grants were meant to help districts with things like buying Colorado-grown food for meals, providing stipends for kitchen employees, and paying for training or equipment.

For now, those grant programs will be on hold.

Lawmakers on the Joint Budget Committee debated this week over whether they had a responsibility to keep the vot-

er-approved program going, regardless of the additional cost to the state.

Sen. Barbara Kirkmeyer, a Brighton Republican, said that cost calculations have changed and the state has to deal with that.

“All of these warnings were given to us before, and we ignored them,” she said.

Before the plan was put to voters, lawmakers defeated a plan to o er free school meals to all, in part because of concerns about the cost.

Chalkbeat is a nonpro t news site covering educational change in public schools.

Colorado voters in 2022 supported creating limits on tax deductions for the state’s highest earners as a way to fund free school meals for all students.

Parker mom ditches gluten, not flavor, at bakery

BY NINA JOSS NJOSS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

When Allyson Rydwell’s son was diagnosed with celiac disease, she started experimenting with new ways of baking. Her son could no longer eat gluten because of his diagnosis. With ve kids, Rydwell wanted not only to help her son, but make meals that everyone in her family would like.

“I didn’t want to eat all my trials … so I would send them to work with my husband or (to) school with the kids,” she said. “And people started o ering to pay me to make them cakes and breads and things.”

Now, that experiment has expanded into a successful gluten-free bakery called Wave the Grain. With two locations — one in Centennial and one in unincorporated Je erson County near Littleton — Rydwell and her 28 employees bake up glutenfree, dairy-free, vegan and keto desserts and meals for customers.

Every day, the bakeries o er breads, brownies, cinnamon rolls and mini cakes. Some days there are cookies, scones or cannoli. Cupcakes, donuts and croissants often make appearances. And at the publication of this story on March 14 — also known as Pi Day — it’s a great spot for fruit and cream pies.

For something a little more substantial, the bakery also sells break-

fast burritos and quiches. her favorite part of running the busi-

ness is helping people see that there are delicious and healthy options available for them if they have dietary

restrictions.

Experts estimate that celiac disease, which Rydwell’s son has, impacts about 2 million people in the United States. It is an immune disorder that damages the small intestine when a person eats gluten, a protein found in wheat, barley and rye.

Other people have sensitivities, autoimmune disorders or allergies that limit their consumption of gluten.

Learning that you have to change to a gluten-free diet can be “disconcerting,” Rydwell said.

“You feel like you can’t eat what you want anymore, that your options are really limited,” she said. “ ere’s a lot of opportunity to really help people understand that there are good, fresh ingredients, that there are healthy ingredients that you can use to supplement and change regular recipes into gluten-free recipes.”

Instead of wheat our, Rydwell’s team uses ours made from almonds, rice, potatoes, tapioca, millet and sorghum.

Rydwell said her team is planning to put together a cooking class and cake decorating class schedule to help empower people to make their own gluten-free foods.

e company, which Rydwell started in 2016, has also expanded beyond gluten-free foods.

About a year after her son’s celiac disease diagnosis, two of Rydwell’s daughters learned that they had to stop eating dairy.

“We will specialty make whatever you want,” she said. “If you need a cake made with duck eggs and coconut oil, we will make that happen.”

Lactose intolerance can also be related to celiac disease, according to a patient advocacy group, so Rydwell started adding dairy-free foods to the bakery. Since then, she has expanded to vegan and keto options as well. She said the bakery also o ers specialty orders for anyone with more speci c allergen needs.

e bakery has a closed-o area for nuts, keeping the rest of the kitchen safe from possible contamination for those who have allergies. And for more serious health concerns, Rydwell said the bakers will come in early to bake a product before anything else is happening in the kitchen to reduce all potential for cross-contamination.

Of the customers who visit the bakeries, Rydwell said about half of them have dietary restrictions — and the other half just enjoy the food. For people who can’t always eat what their friends are eating, Rydwell said the ability to share and enjoy food together is a gift.

“When you have a diagnosis of a

She said her bakery o ers a full array of choices that people can share with their gluten-eating friends. Instead of only getting to eat some stale, hard cookie from the back of a restaurant, people at Wave the Grain can share and enjoy food, no matter what their dietary needs are.

The power of teamwork

In the grand tapestry of human endeavor, few threads are as vital and vibrant as teamwork. It’s the symphony of collaboration that elevates us beyond our individual limitations, enabling us to achieve feats that would otherwise be impossible. Whether in the realms of sports, business, or society at large, the essence of teamwork weaves its magic, transforming aspirations into achievements, and dreams into reality.

At its core, teamwork embodies the essence of unity in diversity. It’s about bringing together individuals with varied backgrounds, skills and perspectives, and harnessing the collective genius that emerges from such diversity. In a team, each member is like a unique instrument in an orchestra, contributing their own notes to create harmonious melodies. Just as a solitary instrument may produce beautiful sounds, it’s only when combined with others that the true symphony unfolds.

One of the most compelling aspects of teamwork is its ability to amplify strengths and mitigate weaknesses. In a well-functioning team, each member brings something valuable to the table, whether it’s expertise in a particular domain, creative thinking, leadership skills, or sheer determination. By leveraging these diverse strengths, teams can tackle challenges with a multifaceted approach, devising innovative solutions and adapting to unforeseen obstacles with agility.

Moreover, teamwork fosters a culture of support and camaraderie that sustains individuals through trials and tribulations. When faced with setbacks or adversity, it’s the collective spirit of the team that provides solace and encourage-

ment, propelling members forward with renewed determination. In times of triumph, it’s the shared joy of achievement that magni es the sense of ful llment, binding team members together in bonds that transcend mere professional association.

Consider the realm of sports, where teamwork is not just a means to an end but an ethos unto itself. In team sports like soccer, basketball, softball or football, victory hinges not only on individual skill but on the seamless coordination and synchronization of every player on the eld. Each pass, each block, each sprint is a testament to the collective e ort of the team, where success is shared and celebrated by all. e legendary basketball coach Phil Jackson once remarked, “ e strength of the team is each individual member. e strength of each member is the team.” is sen-

timent encapsulates the essence of teamwork in sports and beyond.

Similarly, in the corporate world, teamwork is the cornerstone of success in an increasingly interconnected and complex landscape. From startups to multinational corporations, organizations thrive when their employees collaborate e ectively towards common goals. Cross-functional teams bring together experts from di erent departments to tackle projects with a holistic perspective, fostering innovation and driving growth. Moreover, in an era marked by rapid change and uncertainty, the ability to collaborate across boundaries is not just advantageous but essential for survival.

Beyond the realms of sports and business, teamwork is also a driving force for positive change in society. Whether it’s grassroots movements advocating for social justice, hu-

manitarian e orts to alleviate poverty, or international collaborations to address global challenges like climate change, teamwork lies at the heart of collective action. It’s the countless individuals working together, each contributing their time, resources or expertise, who have the power to e ect meaningful change and build a better world for future generations.

However, despite its myriad benets, e ective teamwork is not always easy to achieve. It requires trust, communication and a willingness to set aside ego in favor of the greater good. It demands patience and perseverance, as con icts inevitably arise, and consensus may be hardwon. Yet, it’s precisely through navigating these challenges together that teams grow stronger, forging bonds that withstand the test of time.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Speaking of God ...

Harmon is right for Lone Tree

RE: “`In God we trust’ inspires debate,” Feb. 29 article

County Commissioner George Teal wants the words “In God we trust” to appear on the wall of the Douglas County government’s public meeting room, but thus far has not indicated whose God or which God.

Perhaps you read about the Alabama judge who firmly believes that God opposes IVF. But he likewise failed to indicate whose God or which God.

Why not a list of “Gods” on the meeting room’s walls? And shouldn’t it include some outliers? In my case: Mozart, Leonardo da Vinci, and UCLA.

Certainly guns as well, since there are more guns than residents in the United States.

A suggestion: If Mr. Teal needs a reminder while he’s in this room, I suggest he take out a dollar bill and look at the back.

Craig Marshall Smith, Highlands Ranch

A way with words

Douglas County has a knack for making everything an issue.

While it’s a nice sentiment for former Castle Rock Mayor Paul Donahue, along with George Teal and Abe Laydon, to want words or mottos inscribed on the walls of the Douglas County public meeting room, I only foresee more battles in our increasingly divisive society. We no longer have shared value systems.

In a suggestion for compromise, why don’t we save money and infighting on word choice by creating a changeable message board or wall projection — or even an old-fashioned blackboard with chalk — like some restaurants do as menus change? That way, words won’t be “etched in stone” (literally), and different people can choose varying sentiments that change on a regular schedule. Even if a few quotations don’t appeal to us, maybe we can all be assured that, just like food choices, next week or month’s words will be more palatable to our tastebuds.

I’d call it the First Amendment in action.

Linda Mazunik, Lone Tree

Littleton-area fashion designer starts unique skiwear business

BY BELEN WARD BWARD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Anna Tedstrom was raised in Vail and grew up skiing and doing outdoor activities with her brothers and friends. ose adventures sparked an idea to design unique ski wear, so she started Hoohah, a clothing company where people can nd bright and colorful skiwear adorned with owers, hearts and other designs.

“When I moved to Colorado, I missed the outdoor activities, so I started bringing my girlfriends from Florida and Chicago out on ski trips to Vail,” said Tedstrom, who now lives in the Littleton area. “ en I had the idea about getting into the outdoor industry and wanted to learn more about fashion.”

Becoming a fashion designer

She started the process by attending a fashion design school at Parsons School of Design in New York City. “I studied product design because I wanted to make camping gear or backpacks and tents,” Tedstrom said.

Tedstrom said she was interested in the technical aspects, so she started making furniture, then took a detour into toys and worked for Mattel. From there, she started working for Restoration Hardware in San Francisco.

But Tedstrom still dreamed of designing clothes, so she started working for a company called Marine Layer in San Francisco, a California casual clothing company where she worked as a technical designer with the factories and took on a job as a product developer.

“I was working on the t and the construction of all of the garments for both the men’s and women’s lines. I was really trying to learn a lot about outerwear and also met with manufacturers,” Tedstrom said.

A skiwear line is born

When she went on ski trips with friends, Tedstrom said her friends were intimidated by skiing, so she started wearing her mom’s old onesie ski wear with tight legs and fringe.

“Skiing became more about getting out and having a good time dancing and chatting on chairlifts. It didn’t matter how long we were out there or how many runs we did. My friends were distracted by my out t and wanted to go vintage shopping,” Tedstrom said.

Tedstrom said when she and her friends went vintage shopping, they created fun ski out ts; some had stains and holes or didn’t have fringe, so they added more fringe.

“We started upcycling them, retro tting them and sewing them to t better. If they had a hole, I would sew it closed or make massive ower patches to put over the holes and stains, giving them a new life and a new personality to make them fun,” Tedstrom said.

When the girls wore them, Tedstrom said people would stop them on the slopes and ask where they got the out ts.

“ ey would say, ‘I want one.’ So I started making some custom pieces for people,” Tedstrom said.

Under the ski suits they were upcycling, Tedstrom said they had a black eece lining that she didn’t particularly like.

“I thought, I can’t wear a black eece under this fun out t. I’m going to start making some eeces, which would be easier to sell as well,” she said. “I started making eece long-sleeve tops and then eece bra tops as well.”

Tedstrom began selling her unique ski and activewear at markets and pop-ups. She also started manufacturing bibs with more sizes and colors.

“I started manufacturing our Sunnyside bibs and this year I actually was able to make 300 of them. We are growing little by little,” Tedstrom said.

Hopes for the future

Tedstrom said she’s working on getting her business to work independently and support itself. It takes a lot of money to manufacture, especially outerwear.

“ e big goal for me is to be able to sell out of all my ski wear so I can make more. I would love to have a retail shop,” she said. “I do pop-ups all over Colorado, and I’ve started to do some in in Utah and California.”

She dreams of having a unique retail shop so people can enter and immerse themselves in the Hoohah world. Tedstrom said she would love to eventually be able to ship worldwide.

“It’s de nitely a long road ahead, but before we get there, little by little, I’m trying to grow slowly and intentionally right now; I’m bootstrapping this business, and I don’t have any investors,” Tedstrom said.

How did Tedstrom come up with the Hoohah name?  “I was skiing with my sister-in-law, and I had to pee while we were riding on the chairlift so she said, ‘You’re going have to go in the woods and get your Hoohah cold,’ and I laughed. I thought I needed to reclaim this name,” Tedstrom said.

Talking news disinformation at Front Range panel

Reporters and editors encourage more media literacy this election season

BY MONTE WHALEY MWHALEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Practicing journalism is not easy these days, a panel of local reporters and editors said.

ere are biased sources and charges of bias to grapple with as well as a world dominated by self-serving social media and the rise of less-thentrustworthy AI content. ere are also fewer journalists out there gathering the news, due to massive cutbacks.

e four panelists o ered no real solutions to all those problems. Only a vow that they and others like them will continue to seek out relevant news and viewpoints to help enrich the communities they serve.

It’s especially vital to give a voice to those who often are often ignored, said Stefanie Daniel, senior editor, and reporter for KUNC Radio for Northern Colorado.

“It’s really important that we don’t keep going to the same person as a source,” Daniel told the audience at the Westminster campus of Front Range Community College on March 5. “How can we cover our communi-

ties if we leave out one speci c demographic or group?”

e public – and the media – also shouldn’t expect social media companies to act responsibly and eliminate biased and questionable content from their platforms, said Lucas Brady Woods, statehouse reporter, KUNC Radio for Northern Colorado.

“I have little faith in social media companies implementing things that will x this problem,” Brady Woods said. “I haven’t seen any e orts on social media to stop this misinformation.”

e onus should be on news consumers to be savvier about what they read and listen to, Brady Woods said. at’s especially true when it comes to suspected computer-generated content.

“At the end of the day the only thing that can counter misinformation is media literacy,” Brady Woods said. “Eventually people will look at a video and think, is that AI or not?”

Daniel and Woods were joined by fellow panelists Bente Birkland, public a airs reporter for Colorado Public Radio News, and Linda Shapley, publisher of Colorado Community Media. e panelists were part of a program sponsored by FRCC’s e Front Page student newspaper and the FRCC’s School of Writing and Literature. e e ort was to encourage students to go beyond media catchphrases and

season, said Aaron Le , English professor and student newspaper advisor.

“It’s really important to get our students engaged and be vital members of the community,” Le said. He also wants students to pay more attention to local news and those local issues that will a ect their lives.

“We truly need to increase media literacy, that’s going to be so important in the coming years,” she said.

Drowned by drama

Too often good information that voters need is often drowned out by dramatics on national news shows, Birkeland said.

“ e opening comes and then the shouting starts,” Birkeland said. “But it’s working for many shows because

they get the clips that are shown. at drives ratings, what’s missing is the nuance.”

Politicians on both sides of the aisles are also polarized on nearly every issue except when it comes to the media, Birkeland said. “It’s very easy to be anti-media.  No one is going to be upset with you if you bash the media.”

As media outlets shrink, fewer reporters are around to report on local communities and that cuts into the trust people have in the media, Shapley said.

“You’re not seeing a journalist at an event, and you are not seeing a journalist at your city hall. e only time you see a journalist is when they are coming in, parachuting into a big news event,” Shapley said. “ at will continue to build that antitrust narrative.”

‘Alaskan Nets’ sports doc holds an untold Colorado connection SPORTS

BY JOHN RENFROW JRENFROW@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

In 2017, a documentary crew ew to the Metlakatla Indian Community in southeast Alaska, the only remaining native reservation in the state, to capture everyday life.  at basically means two things: the shing season, and the quest to end a 34-year drought without a high school basketball state championship.

e lm, titled, “Alaskan Nets,” released in 2021, pairs these cultural forces that make up the identity of the town. rough tragedy and triumph, the movie covers generations of Metlakatlan shermen and ball players as the viewer joins the 2017-18 boys team week by week.  On a whim, I watched the documentary one weekend.

“With shing not going good, the only thing you really look forward to is basketball,” Metlakatla former star player D.J. King said in the lm. “It just gives people hope.”

I’m a stranger from 3,000 miles away (that’s a 62-hour drive from Denver, no stops). Still, I couldn’t help but live and die by every possession for the team. All good sports documentaries nd a way to pull that o .

But this small Alaskan community, tightknit as it is, invites you in

through the camera like a guest at dinner and doesn’t let go when the credits roll.

After about 40 minutes in, I spotted a Golden Demons shirt (as in Golden High School in Colorado, right down the road from my house). Metlakatla’s head coach was wearing it during practice.

So I reached out to the coach, Tony Scott, and he quickly responded.

Scott, originally from eastern Washington, has been at Metlakatla for 12 years now and is currently on sabbatical after the birth of his second child. Check out our conversation in the Q&A below.

A little history:

- Metlakatla won its rst basketball state title in 1984 as a 3A team

- In the 2010s, the Alaska School Activities Association restructured class quali cations, making Metlakatla, a school of 100 students, a 2A team

- e documentary follows the 2017-2018 team en route to the school’s second state title in 2018 and its rst as a 2A school

CCM: First of all, how did you get that Golden Demons shirt seen in the lm and what is the connection there?

Scott: We actually played Gold-

en at home in our rst game of the season that year. We got it handed to us pretty good so they decided to leave it out of the lm (Golden, a 4A team, won 77-36) … I think it was mid-December, I was sitting in my o ce here doing my prep and the coach from Ketchikan (another town and high school in southeast Alaska) called me, who I’m good friends with. And he said, “I’ve got something for you that’s going to be really cool, but you’re probably not going to like the outcome of this.” I said OK, go ahead. He said, “So, Golden, Colorado agreed to play us but they thought it was a tournament when they agreed.” Golden had three openings on their schedule but Ketchikan only had two games to give them. “What if they came over ursday and you guys played them?” And this was less than a week away.

So Golden ew to Ketchikan and then ew and played us here in Metlakatla. ey had 15 kids travel, they had three or four kids over 6-foot5, and the one kid (Adam istlewood) was like 6-foot-8, and he was good. De nitely the best player my kids had ever played against. It was a great experience, and de nitely made us better. Super nice coaching sta . e kids were great. I took them out and showed them the island. It was really cool … It was an

early wake-up call for me because I thought going into the season that we would be really good. en (Golden) let us know that we’re not that good. It let the kids refocus and get back on track. I wouldn’t change it for anything.

CCM: What has Metlakatla taught you? What has the whole experience brought out of you?

Scott: at’s a great question I haven’t thought about a lot. e rst thing I think of is that this community I think, it’s more a sense of belonging that I never thought I’d get. Like a family. You might not see that on the lm. But I walk into the store, or I come back on my boat with some sh, and just anybody and everybody is so welcoming like you’re one of them. And so, I think the biggest thing is this is where I was meant to be. I’ve made the right decision. e people here welcomed me and it’s made it really hard to ever leave. I gured this would be a two- or three-year stop and it’s already year 12. It’s been a pretty incredible journey, and the highlight is my rst high school championship is going to be on lm forever. I’m just pretty lucky.

With talk of hundreds of new homes, Castle Rock takes step toward securing water

BY MCKENNA HARFORD MHARFORD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Castle Rock will pay $2.2 million for a piece of land in Sedalia it says is crucial for its future water plans.

e 145-acre plot is home to current and future Castle Rock reservoirs, with construction on the second underway. e land is owned by the Plum Creek Trust.

e town already owns an easement on the property, which sits at the junction of East and West Plum Creek Parkway at Rio Grande Avenue in Sedalia. It has invested

roughly $44 million on water infrastructure and another $66 million worth of work is planned for the land in the future.

“It’s an important part of our water infrastructure, especially our renewable water infrastructure,” Castle Rock Water Director Mark Marlowe told the town council in early March.

Marlowe said an appraisal of the property valued it around $2 million. e sale would include almost 400 acre feet of groundwater and mineral rights.

“We feel like that’s still a good deal

for us and we’re more than willing to agree to that,” he said.

Marlowe said another bene t of the purchase is that it could help reduce construction costs for the reservoir in progress.

As part of the purchase, Castle Rock Water also agreed to provide service for up to 600 future homes that could be developed in the surrounding area by the Plum Creek Trust. e service will include a 10% extraterritorial surcharge.

Marlowe told the council that the water system has the capacity to meet the request and estimated the

fees for service could provide $1120 million in annual revenue once the homes are built.

e trust will be responsible for all of the costs to connect to the town’s water system and the town will provide the trust with 90 acre feet of groundwater annually.

Council members voted unanimously to approve the purchase and service agreement.

“Not only is this good for usnancially in the short-term, it could be millions in system development fees if development comes to fruition,” Mayor Jason Gray said.

Reasons to back Shaw

Lone Tree has been fortunate to have had mayors with the time and experience to lead our city to where we nd ourselves today. It is important that we continue on this path. As you decide who you will support for mayor in the Tuesday, May 7 election, please consider these points.

Wynne has served for eight years on the Lone Tree City Council and is currently mayor pro tem. She owned and operated a micrographics business before beginning an extensive career in nancial services with Charles Schwab and TIAA. roughout her time on council, she has consistently shown that she has the time, experience, and dedication to serve Lone Tree exceptionally well.

Four of Irwin’s students spoke about various projects the class is working on and their enjoyment of the hands-on education. Fifthgrader Gabby Fronckowiak said caring for the school’s chickens, which is done by a group of students known as the ‘“Chicken Tenders,” is a highlight of their day.

“Mrs. Irwin has transformed our learning experience into an exceptional journey,” Fronckowiak said. “ ank you Mrs. Irwin for your

Marissa served on Lone Tree’s Planning Commission for one year and now has been on city council for two years. She currently owns and actively works in her Lone Tree hair salon. In addition, she is a wife and a busy mother of two young children. Being Lone Tree’s mayor is a full time job.

I heartily support Wynne Shaw for mayor of Lone Tree in our May 7 election. I hope you will, as well.
