Challenger wants to unseat incumbent in Douglas County commissioner race
Commissioner George Teal, Democrat Angela omas is asking for debates. She has challenged Teal to four of them, asking that they also be streamed, ahead of the November election.
A
“Douglas County is facing exploding growth and the challenges that brings,” omas said in her challenge statement. “Our county commission has responded with dysfunction and a failure to strategically address the needs of our citizens.”
Teal’s campaign told the Douglas County NewsPress that Thomas had not reached out directly to Teal or his campaign about scheduling any debates. The campaign neither committed to the idea nor shot it down.
County candidates have eyes on gold dome

Bradley has also made news for using her social media to ght with House Democrats.
What to know about roadwork in Castle Pines
Monarch Boulevard project includes safety upgrades, new water line
BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Crews are moving forward on a project to rebuild part of a major road in Castle Pines, an e ort that will upgrade street safety and the local watersystem along the way. e paving process has begun on “phase one” — from Castle Pines Parkway to Stonedale Drive — of the Monarch Boulevard reconstruction project. O cials expect the phase to be complete this month. After that, the project moves to the second phase, from Stonedale to
Glen Oaks Avenue.
“ e project’s safety improvements include adding six-foot bike lanes to improve bicyclist safety,” said Camden Bender, spokesperson for the City of Castle Pines.
It also includes bringing intersections up to current Americans with Disabilities Act standards, such as curb ramps for street crossings, Bender said.
And, it involves a concrete roadway tear out and replacement with asphalt.
e city is directing the through tra c on Monarch Boulevard touse a detour on Bu alo Trail, which meets Castle Pines Parkway to the west of Monarch. On the other end, Bu alo Trail meets Monarch north of Glen Oaks Avenue.
Below the surface, the project will also replace 4,300 feet of water
line, a change intended to increase reliability of the Castle Pines North Metropolitan District’s water system, which serves Castle Pines west of Interstate 25.
“ e existing (water) main is undersized and was poorly installed,” said Nathan Travis, the district’s manager. “Working in conjunction with the city allows both of our organizations to capture a cost savings.”
e Monarch Boulevard total
project budget is about $5.6 million, including contributions from the district related to installing the water line under the roadway as well as 30% of the cost to design and construct that section of roadway, according to the city.
e district’s contribution is budgeted at about $2.8 million, and the city’s contribution is the remaining $2.8 million, according to the city. e project could be completed around this fall.

How Does Denver’s Real Estate Market in the First Half of 2023 and 2024 Compare?
I had the same question, so I did some research on our MLS, REcolorado. At right are some charts I created. As always, I don’t define metro Denver by counties but rather as an 18-mile radius of downtown Denver. The charts and the statistics below are for that area.
The January-to-June rise in sold prices are remarkably similar, going from the low 500s to the high 500s with little overall gain compared to prior years.
As a result, the months of inventory (not shown) was similar both years, dropping from above 3 months in January to 2 months in March, but diverged in April, staying at just above 2 months from April through June 2023, but rising to almost 3 months from March to June of this year.
The most dramatic change is the number of homes available to purchase despite falling number of closings. That resulted in an increase in the days-in-MLS statistic, which was similar to last year but only through April, whereupon the days-inMLS number rose to 11 instead of staying in the 5-6 day range of last year.
In January 2023, the ratio of closed price to original listing price was 96.2% but rose to 100% for March through July.
January 2024 was better than 2023 at 97.3%, but it rose to 100% for only three months and dropped to 99.4% in June.
The chart below was shrunk ver cally so that the number scales would match.
Are you following the 2024 presidential race? You may be interested in my political blog, which you can find at http://TalkingTurkey.substack.com
The metric which I find more useful than closed price is the price per finished square foot, which rose in 2023 from $298 in January to $320 in June, but it stabilized at that level in 2024, rising from $316 per finished square foot in January to $322 in June.
Price Reduced on Arvada Home Built for Entertaining
Another tell-tale metric of market health is how many listings expire without selling. In 2023, that number for the Denver metro area fell from 651 in January to 581 in June, but the opposite happened this year, rising from 654 in January to 873 in June.
The sellers designed this 4,603-sq.-ft. home at 6714 Field St. in Arvada for entertaining. The price was just reduced from $845,000 to $825,000, which computes to under $180 per square foot. Spaces for entertaining abound both indoors and on the large wraparound deck, which was rebuilt 2 years ago. There is an indoor hot tub in its own room that is well ventilated to avoid moisture-related issues. There is a guest bedroom on the main floor. This home is an early example of passive solar design. In addition to the solar thermal panels on the roof, there are solar thermal panels built into the south wall of the living room to capture solar gain in the winter. There is no HOA.

Development Opportunity in Wheat Ridge
Broker associate Austin Pottorff has just listed 8 acres of agricultural land in Wheat Ridge for $6,000,000, with options on ditch water rights. One parcel at 11221 W. I-70 Frontage Road totals 1.9 acres and comes with the option to purchase six shares of the Brown & Baugh Ditch Company. The larger parcel, with an address of 4745 Parfet Street, is 6.1 acres and has eight ditch water certificates that could be purchased along with the property. Water is deeded separately from this land and can be used for agricultural or other non-residential purposes. In addition, there are several unregistered wells on the properties. Both parcels are within the Fruitdale water district where there are currently no restrictions on the number of taps that can be purchased for new residential development. Currently zoned AG-2, there are numerous allowed usages including boarding four horses per acre and growing feed. More info is available on request. Water & sewer mains border the property and the B&B Ditch runs along the west side. There is a high voltage utility easement that traverses the property north to south. Rarely does an opportunity arise in Jefferson County, offering eight contiguous acres of agricultural land with an optional 14 shares of priority water, all within one mile the new Lutheran Medical Center in Applewood. For more information call Austin at 970-281-9071.
The number of homes under contract
at the end of each month was almost identical in 2023 and 2024. Last year it rose from 2,673 in January to 3,452 in June. This year it rose from 2,538 in January to 3,455 in June.

Douglas County looks at options for sports areas
Move comes amid plan to cut sports fields at fairgrounds park,
BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
e youth sports community has been raising concerns for weeks about a plan that would cut some sports areas at Douglas County Fairgrounds Regional Park. O cials say it is time for renovations and demand for space at the events destination has exceeded capacity.
Mark Steinke, president of the local Raptors Athletics program, is not against expansion of the fairgrounds. But he opposes elimination of elds that he says have supported kids for more than 20 years.
“It’s a tough situation for us because it would be devastating to us. It would eliminate a large part of our program if we lost those elds,” Steinke said, referring to impacts to the Raptors baseball, football and softball teams.
Amid the backlash, o cials are pointing to other parts of the county where new sports elds could be built. Leaders may reach into a pot ofvoter-approved sales tax funding for parks and recreation to pay for it.
“I’m very interested in seeing our priorities go to sports elds for youth,” especially for baseball, county Commissioner George Teal said at a recent town hall discussion.
Sports elds aren’t the only thing county o cials are likely to spend the tax money on. ey’ll have to balance di erent priorities.
“If the baseball folks get together with the soccer folks and maybe include the swimmers,” that helps leaders choose what to spend on, county Commissioner Abe Laydon said.
But a new eld elsewhere in the county wouldn’t help Steinke’s Raptors because the nonpro t serves Castle Rock and Castle Pines, he said.
“Castle Rock is severely underserved,“ Steinke said.
In May, a large crowd gathered at the county headquarters in Castle Rock, including many young people wearing youth sports uniforms.
tions from the audience — o cials faced the question of whether there’s a plan to build other sports elds to ensure kids don’t lose space.
Concerns centered around the “fairgrounds master plan,” a vision for renovating the county fairgrounds — the home of the annual county fair and other events. Some sports elds could remain, based on the draft of the fairgrounds master plan.
But three elds near the eastern edge of the fairgrounds property could be converted to new uses. ose impacted could include one baseball diamond, one football/lacrosse area and a multi-use area for soccer, according to Tim Hallmark, the county’s director of facilities. ose would be removed to add new structures including buildings A, B and C on the plan’s map, which would include new multipurpose barn space and 4-H meeting rooms, among other things.
Possible new fields elsewhere
In late June, at the town hall, ofcials pointed to three locations beyond the fairgrounds, elsewhere in the county, where new sports elds could be built.
One of those is the Sterling Ranch area in the northwest part of the county, where a design dated June 3 shows a soccer complex with four elds near Waterton Road.
During that contentious meeting — which included some interrup-
Laydon also pointed to the planned High Note Park in Lone Tree, which would be built along Happy Canyon Creek near Interstate 25 and RidgeGate Parkway. It could include multiuse synthetic turf elds, according to a plan from April.
Commissioner Lora omas brought up Wildcat Regional Park, an envisioned recreation area between Daniels Park Road and Monarch Boulevard, south of Rocky Heights Middle School.
“I think this would be a great place where we could put sports elds for kids,” omas said of the spot in the Highlands Ranch area, indicating baseball could be accommodated.
One person at the June town hall, who said he’s from Highlands Ranch, voiced concern about protecting habitats. Another person in the crowd worried about elk and other wildlife.

State urges families to schedule vaccines as measles cases rise
BY SUZIE GLASSMAN SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA
Colorado public health o cials are encouraging families to ensure their children are current on their vaccines this summer, especially those required by school and childcare facilities, including measles, whooping cough, mumps, polio and varicella (chickenpox).
“Keeping our kids healthy at school starts with getting them vaccinated,” Dr. Ned Calonge, chief medical officer at the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, said in a statement. “Summer break is a great time to schedule checkups and make sure your child’s immunizations are up to date. This simple step helps keep them healthy and allows them to focus
on learning and having fun in school.
“With recent measles outbreaks in the United States and around the world, it’s more important than ever to ensure all students are caught up on childhood vaccines,” Calonge continued.
According to the Centers for Disease Control, the U.S. has already seen more than twice as many measles cases in the rst half of 2024 than in all of 2023.
Measles appears as a rash and can cause life-long hearing loss and brain damage. Up to 20% of those infected will need to be treated in a hospital, and severe cases can lead to respiratory failure and death. e CDC recommends the MMR vaccine as the best way to prevent becoming infected.
Data published by the CDPHE shows that for the 2023-2024 school year, nearly 93% of the state’s pre-K through grade 12 students were fully vaccinated against measles. Yet, because measles spreads so quickly, Immunization Branch chief at CDPHE Heather Roth said 95% of the population needs to be immunized to achieve herd immunity.
“While there hasn’t been a case of measles in Colorado this year, that doesn’t mean the risk isn’t there,” Roth said. “Measles can live in the air for up to two hours after an infected person leaves the area, so someone traveling either to or from Colorado could expose others, leaving unvaccinated adults and children at risk.”

REVERSE MORTGAGES MADE EASY
HONORED
Millet served Lone Tree for nearly two decades, rst on the planning commission, then on city council before becoming mayor for eight years. roughout her time, she helped lower the city’s sales tax, develop multiple capital projects and grow businesses.
“I got to play a role in thinking about what makes sense and how does a community grow thoroughly, carefully,” Millet said in the video.
Among 20 nominations submitted by Colorado Municipal League members, Millet received the award alongside City of Central Fire Chief Gary Allen. Millet was honored at the league’s 102nd annual conference.
e league’s current Executive Director Kevin Bommer said in a statement that all nominees and winners represent the best when it comes to good governance.
“ e leadership necessary to instill greater levels of civility and commitment to providing accessibility for all to their government shines through in each of the nominees and those selected to receive the Mamet Award,” said Bommer. With a mission to advocate for and empower cities and towns across the state, the Colorado Municipal League is a nonpro t and nonpartisan organization that represents the interest of 271 cities and towns.

DEBATE
“ e Teal campaign will review debate opportunities individually and independently,” Ryan Lynch, Teal’s campaign manager, told the News-Press. “Commissioner Teal is proud of his impeccable record of putting the residents of Douglas County rst and looks forward to earning a second term in o ce.”
omas said her team didn’t reach out to Teal “as we were certain it would either end up in a spam box or simply ignored.”
omas also expressed hope that Colorado Community Media, which publishes two dozen community newspapers around the metro area, including the News-Press, would moderate the debate “because it reaches the entire county.”
“It’s our belief that this needs to be organized by an objective moderator or it
will never take place,” omas said.
Linda Shapley, Colorado Community Media’s publisher, commented on the proposal.
“In advance of the primary election, we worked with the Douglas County Economic Development Corporation for a robust conversation on the issues,” Shapley said. “As the primary news organization in Douglas County, we’re very much willing to continue that dialogue and plan an event that is fair and informative for voters, and will look to include those groups who believe in that same mission.”
Colorado Community Media regularly moderates local and regional governmental forums across the metro area. In the lead up to the 4th Congressional District primaries, Editor-in-Chief Michael de Yoanna co-moderated with KUNC public radio two online forums — for Republican and Democratic candidates — hosted by the League of Women Voters of Colorado.
omas proposed Sept. 8 as the date
for the rst debate.
omas, who spent 20 years as a social worker and has served as chair of the Douglas County Democratic Party, hopes to unseat Republican Teal from his seat on the board of county commissioners.
e two are running for the seat in county commissioner District 2, a vast region that covers Castle Rock and the southern portion of the county, including much of Douglas’ rural areas.
Douglas commissioners are elected “at large” from one of three geographic districts. at means commissioners are required to reside in di erent districts, but voters throughout the entire county cast ballots for each seat.
e board is the county’s policy-making body, approving Douglas’ annual budget and passing local laws that govern “unincorporated” areas, or those outside of city and town limits. at includes the highly populated Highlands Ranch area, and several other parts of the county.

Castle Rock to appoint youth council
BY MCKENNA HARFORD MHARFORD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Castle Rock is moving forward with a youth council that will advise town leaders on matters related to youth issues, including mental health.
Douglas County, Parker and Lone Tree all have youth councils that work on a variety of similar issues. Some have dedicated budgets for their projects.
Castle Rock Councilmember Tim Dietz rst introduced the idea to create as a way to support more activities for teens and engage them in the community. Dietz sits on the Douglas County Youth Initiative and said he is inspired by it.
“I see kids clamoring for things like this to do,” Dietz said.
Councilmember Laura Cavey said she would be interested in having the group work on mental health issues, like suicide prevention ef-
forts. She said she could see a lot of potential bene ts from o ering a youth council.
“Maybe it helps them decide a direction or career in public safety or mental health, or helps them with college because they garnered more leadership skills,” Cavey said.
Timing for getting a youth council started would depend on nding sta ng to oversee it, but Assistant Town Manager Kristin Read said it could start up as early as August.
Town sta estimate the costs for a new advisory group to be around $12,000.
Castle Rock already has a number of programs for youth, including the Teen Advisory Group, which works with the town’s Parks and Recreation department, Teen Court, Fire and Police Explorer programs and the Youth Police Academy.
About 125 people are involved in the existing programs and the town spends $50,000 to operate them.
Castle Rock cancer center named after Schrader family raises millions
The center is expected to open next year
BY MCKENNA HARFORD MHARFORD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
e building that will house Castle Rock’s rst cancer center has been o cially named after the Schrader family, who made the largest donation in the hospital’s history to support the project.
e Schrader family gave $5 million to AdventHealth Castle Rock’s Rock of Hope campaign, a fundraiser supporting the cancer center. As of June, the campaign has raised 55% of its $14 million goal. At an event celebrating the nam-
ing of the Schrader Building, AdventHealth Rocky Mountain Region CFO Jeremy Pittman said he is excited to be one step closer to o ering comprehensive medical care in town.
“I’m just so proud of all the teams that have been involved in this community,” said Pittman, who is also the former CEO of the hospital. “ is is one of the last puzzle pieces that Castle Rock truly needs.”
Construction will begin on the cancer center, which will be on the third oor of the Schrader Building, while fundraising is ongoing. e goal is to open the center by late 2025.

SCHRADER
e cancer center will include radiation therapy, chemotherapy, infusion therapy and a learning kitchen. e services will be the rst cancer
care available in Castle Rock. Currently, patients have to drive out of town to get chemotherapy and other treatment.
e Schrader family said that while it means a lot to have their name on the building, they are most excited about having treatment available locally to ease the burden for patients.
“ e naming is special and it
means something, maybe for the legacy of the family and the grandkids that drive by it for decades to come,” Randy Schrader said. “ at said, the real deal here is getting cancer care built up at AdventHealth Castle Rock.”
Lisa Schrader agreed and added that there’s still work to do to support the cancer center’s opening.
“It’s getting to the radiation, getting the sta in place, all the things that need to happen to treat that very rst patient,” she said. “We’re going to keep pushing forward to get this whole project nished as soon as possible.”

Creating more inclusive sport environments
Kindness and respect. Support and understanding. When we think of an inclusive sports environment, words like these come to mind. But how do we turn these words into actions we can implement as parents or guardians out on the eld or court?
At the U.S. Center for SafeSport, athlete safety and well-being are our priority. By educating communities on how they can help prevent abuse and misconduct in sport, we help every participant feel safe, supported and strengthened. And more than that, we seek to help parents and coaches foster settings that are more inclusive and accessible for all athletes. But rst, what do inclusive environments look like in practice? And how do we create them?
Valuing all athletes
From respecting physical and emotional boundaries to giving athletes with disabilities the help they request, inclusive sport settings treat each athlete with respect and care and make sure each athlete’s needs are met.

Living our life story and embracing our faith
This is the third column in a series about how we embrace, live, and share our life story. Each of us is a living story, that ebbs and ows with every breath we take and every choice we make. Our lives are lled with moments of joy, pain, triumph, and defeat, woven together to form the unique life story we are experiencing. Our faith journey, whatever that means to each of us as individuals, has played a role in our story, is currently continuing to shape our story, and will absolutely play a role in our future story.
Again, the most powerful story we will ever tell is the one we tell ourselves. We all experience thousands of thoughts each and every day. ose thoughts either quickly go away, become a deeper thought for another time, or result in us taking action based on what we are currently thinking about. So why not make the most of these special opportunities and moments that further de ne us and our story?
and with the divine. e greatest story ever told, the Good News of the Gospel, is the ultimate narrative of love, sacri ce, and redemption. It is a story that transcends time and culture, o ering hope and salvation to all of us in what some might call a very unforgiving world.
Our story is a story to be lived. When we live our lives in alignment with the teachings of Jesus Christ, we embody the message of the Gospel. Our actions become a testimony to the transformative power of God’s love and grace. We become living epistles, read by all who encounter us.
Last week we discussed how each mistake, wrong turn, or failure shapes our story. We can choose to let them break us or we can choose to let them make us, and that choice is ours. As you continue reading, I will share something about my faith and the role it plays in my own story. And wherever you are in your own faith journey, and wherever your faith is today, I hope you will lean into that faith to continue to shape how you live and tell your story. In the end, the story we tell ourselves is the foundation of the story we live. It is a story that shapes our identity and guides our actions. For me, it is about aligning my story with the story of the Gospel, I nd a deeper sense of purpose and meaning. I become part of a story that is greater than myself, a story that is eternal and unchanging. You see, our story does not exist in isolation. It is part of a greater story line, one that connects us with others
ABOUT LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Colorado Community Media welcomes letters to the editor. Please note the following rules:
• Email your letter to kfiore@coloradocommunitymedia.com. Do not send via postal mail. Put the words “letter to the editor” in the email subject line.
Living our story in the light of the Gospel means loving others as Christ loves us. It means showing compassion, extending grace, and seeking justice. It means being a light in the darkness, o ering hope to the hopeless and comfort to the a icted. When we live in this way, our story becomes a powerful witness to the reality of God’s kingdom.

Farmers and a fair show o the culture of this summer favorite fruit
BY NINA JOSS NJOSS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Every year, on one day in the summer, a group of people line up at the edge of a long, yellow tarp in southeastern Colorado. e tarp is stationed next to a building to prevent the wind from impacting a competition, for which some people practice seriously. Others decide to give it a try on a whim.
“ ey pick out their own seed, and I guess they could suck on it for a little while, get it dry, how ever they feel is the best way to treat their seed,” said Sally Cope, who helps organize the event. “And then practice, and then spit.”
As the black seeds land one by one on the bright tarp, people wait anxiously to see whose will make it the farthest.
e seed-spitting competition is part of a day-long event entirely dedicated to a sweet, red, juicy fruit grown in Colorado. A star at any summer picnic, watermelons are more than just a refreshing snack to the people of the Arkansas Valley. In this region, especially in the town of Rocky Ford, farmers dedicate their entire summer to raising the classic crop — which has become a staple of the area’s culture.
“It’s a way of life,” said Gail Knapp, owner of Knapp Farms, which grows watermelons and other produce.
“We don’t take time o normally in the summertime to do what normal people do in the summertime.
our crops — and those kinds of things take a lot of care.”
From its mascot — a muscular melon called a “meloneer” — to its annual Watermelon Day celebration, Rocky Ford embraces the crop, which has deep ties to the city’s history.
In 1878, Rocky Ford’s rst mayor and one of its founders, G.W. Swink, had a bountiful harvest of watermelons.
“He brought them here to the railroad station … and he gave slices of melons to those who were passengers that stopped on the train,” Cope said. “After a couple of years, he moved his table of watermelon slices and gave away melons — a large melon to all of those who came in attendance.”
What started out as a gift from the mayor to his people turned into Watermelon Day, now celebrated as part of the week-long Arkansas Valley Fair. Cope, the manager of the fair, said the fruit-focused day includes a watermelon carving competition and a melon giveaway.
“We … usually give away around 20,000 pounds of melon on Watermelon Day,” she said. is year, Watermelon Day will take place on Aug. 17 at the Arkansas Valley Fairgrounds, on the secondto-last day of the fair which includes rodeos, a carnival, 4-H contests and much more.

WATERMELON
e Watermelon Day tradition gives the fair its title as the “oldest continuous fair” in Colorado. Cope said the fair team even gave away watermelons in 2020.
Why is the valley good for melons?
Each year, the Rocky Ford Rotary Club helps raise funds to buy watermelons from local growers, such as Knapp Farms.
At the fth-generation farm, owners Gail and Brian Knapp — along with their children and grandchildren — grow watermelon, cantaloupe, tomatoes, chilies, eggplant, squash, cucumbers and more.
Knapp said the conditions in the Arkansas Valley are great for growing watermelons.
“It seems to be our soil, our hot days, cooler nights,” she said. “ ere’s a combination there that seems to grow really sweet melons.”
Once the melons are harvested, Knapp Farms sells them at their local farm market and also sends them to the metro Denver area to be sold at grocery stores including Kroger, Safeway and Whole Foods.
As of late June, the largest watermelons were about the size of a baseball, Knapp said. As they continue to grow, they should be ready to start harvesting by late July.
Despite the ripe conditions for watermelons, Knapp said there are some risks to the melon business. Weather, such as the copious amount of hail last spring, can devastate a crop. Knapp said last season was a challenge for most farmers in the region for this reason.
With water from the Arkansas River being sold to cities, labor shortages and
unpredictable demand, there are many risks to farming watermelons, Knapp said, and it’s not getting easier. But if everything works out in a given season, the business can be very pro table, she said.
Growing your own melons
For gardeners who want to try a hand at growing their own watermelons, veteran gardener Deborah King said it’s a bit too late in the season to start from seeds — but folks can start planning now for next year.
King is a supervisor at Tagawa Gardens, a garden center in Centennial, where she says she learns a lot from customers.
“It is a big plant, it spreads out really big,” she said. “But the key is that you need to have consistent water supply throughout its growing season.”
She also said it’s helpful to plant watermelons on hills or mounds, which gives the plant space and helps ensure drainage and retain heat. It can also be helpful to use grass clippings, wood chips or straw to maintain moisture in the soil, King said.
For her, gardening is a satisfying endeavor.
“When you get your harvest and you’re able to share with … your neighbors, co-workers — I mean, there’s no more satisfaction than eating right from your own garden,” she said. “You realize that avor … and it just sets you up for the next season to do more, or try di erent things.”
But for those who consider themselves a bit impatient, or simply want to leave the farming to the experts, there’s good news: the Rocky Ford watermelons will be available in stores near the end of the summer.

Maybe you’ve seen an athlete with a disability left out of an activity because the coach failed to o er a drill that’s accessible to all teammates. Or maybe you’ve witnessed a participant’s confused look as they try to understand a set of complicated warm-up instructions.
When we prioritize inclusivity, we prioritize principles that make sport accessible for everyone. Examples of this are communicating openly and clearly in ways that each child can understand and adapting activities so athletes of all abilities can play and thrive.
Inclusive sport environments are places where no one is excluded based on something that makes them di erent, where all athletes can participate at the level they want,

and where kindness and respect outweigh competition and tting in.
What parents can do
When a child steps onto the eld or court, they may bring stress, trauma and individual challenges from their day-to-day lives with them. As a parent, guardian, or coach, you play a key role in creating a setting that is sensitive to that stress or trauma — and is built on support.
By reinforcing that no one has to change to t in, you can help create an atmosphere that values and appreciates all athletes.
Here are ve actions you can take:
1. Model respectful, kind behavior. Demonstrate care and compassion when engaging with athletes.
2. Value each athlete. Value the unique contributions each child brings to the team or organization and nd ways to support and encourage everyone’s individual contribution.

Roth noted that some school districts and schools have far lower immunization rates than the state average, which is concerning. She speculated the lower rates within speci c communities are less about vaccine hesitation and more about lack of access to regular healthcare or health insurance.
“ e good news is that many children are eligible for free or low-cost vaccines. To nd a provider near you, visit COVax4Kids.org,” Roth said. “We encourage you to make an appointment now rather than waiting for school to start when it can take longer to get in.”

Enjoy these 5 skate parks within 30 miles of Denver
BY JOHN RENFROW JRENFROW@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
With winter in the rearview, it’s time to ditch the snowboards and break out the wheels again. Coloradans are spoiled with over 70 skate parks in and around the Denver metro area, according to SpeakEasy Skate, a Colorado skate park directory run by local Damian Dixon. e directory boasts more than 200 in the state. at many parks can be the best kind of overwhelming, whether you’re a seasoned skater or want to try skateboarding for the rst time (or biking, scootering, rollerblading and whatever else people do at skate parks, rules per park depending). But everyone has to start somewhere. e choices seem endless with new parks opening every year, like the new Sloan’s Lake Pumptrack in Denver that opened in 2023. But here are ve to get you started around the Front Range.
Don Anema Memorial Skate Park
Location: Northglenn
Strength: Flow park
Lights: User-activated; the last activation can occur at 9:45 p.m.
Opened in 2011, the sea of desertred waves known as Don Anema Memorial Skate Park is one of the best ow parks (speci cally made for continuous riding without pushing) in the metro area. ere are multiple unusual features, like arches next to gaps, so skaters can jump the gaps or simply roll over them. A spiral rollin bowl sits tucked into the corner for a quick whip-around, and several manual boxes, stairs, ledges and
snake-like ramps allow for an even ow throughout. e larger bowl in the back of the park is the cherry on top of this skate park sundae, making Don Anema perfect for both practice and fun.
William McKinley Carson Park & Skate Park
Location: Greenwood Village
Strength: Two-for-one
Lights: No
Tucked away in William McKinley Carson Park, the 15,000-square-foot arena is hidden by trees away from the main road, which obscures the fact that it’s actually two parks in one. e rst section is an intricate bowl system, with roll-ins from each side so it’s accessible to skaters of di erent levels. On the other side of the park, you have an Olympic-level ow/ street-style section. e slightly slanted run is connected by two quarterpipes on either end, with multiple boxes, ramps and rails. Just get there before the sun goes down.
Arvada Skate Park
Location: Arvada
Strength: A bit of everything
Lights: On until 10 p.m.
It can be a bit di cult to decide what to do at this 40,000-square-foot oasis for skaters. From the parking lot, turn left into the park and hit a valley of roll-in ramps, which lead to a at-trick area at the base of a small bowl section. On the north side of the park is a long, snake-like bowl system of small hills and rollovers. Head to the northeast corner for a skateable brick wall. Two circular platforms overlap each other for easy kick-turns
near the entrance. e ‘bullpen’ of the skatepark has a half-bowl system, several stairs and ledges, and an unusual, large ramp on an island to ollie on, roll up and down and then hop back o .
Ulysses Skate Park
Location: Golden
Strength: Mountain and city views Lights: On until 10 p.m. Nestled against the foothills in Golden, this ve-year-old, 27,000-square-foot park ows in a big loop and boasts the best views of any locale on this list. ere’s a at-trickdesignated area with a manual box (a at platform best used for practicing wheelie combinations) connected to the rest of the park by a tunnel with ‘GOLDEN’ carved in the roof, spelling the city’s name on the ground in sunlight. rough the gut of the park runs a big, slightly downhill carving bowl, with plenty of stairs, ledges,
and quarter pipes around its edge. Pro tip: Park near the dog park and skate the nearly half-mile path along the fence to the skate park for a picturesque cruise, and catch sunset views of nearby Table and Lookout mountains in the evenings. Bring a hammock.
Railbender Skate Park
Location: Parker
Strength: Street skating
Lights: From dusk until 10 p.m. It’s just a half-hour drive to get to a street skater’s paradise: think ledges on ledges, stairs on stairs. is is the perfect park to learn how to grind, use manual boxes, ollie down ledges, and get comfortable on steep roll-in ramps. Opened in 2008, the park is 35,000 square feet of practice-perfect concrete. Try the smooth mini bowl toward the front of the park to hone your skills before hitting the enormous, complex bowl near the back.
Ulysses Skate Park in Golden shines against the foothills along the Front Range, and provides great mountain and city views for skaters. COURTESY OF SPEAKEASY COLORADO SKATE PARK DIRECTORY

Colorado awarded $40.5 million federal quantum technology grant
The state becomes one of 12 new federal technology hubs
BY MICHAEL BOOTH AND TAMARA CHUANG THE COLORADO SUN
Colorado won a $40.5 million quantum technology grant from the federal government to help turn the state into a worldwide hub in the emerging eld, Gov. Jared Polis recently announced as one of 12 awards after a highly competitive sprint for the U.S. money.
e award cements Colorado’s leadership in quantum computing, which relies on supercooled operations at an atomic level, and will unlock $74 million in state tax credits passed in anticipation of a federal grant win, Polis said. at in turn could draw billions of dollars in private and partnership investment to the eld, which already employs thousands of people in Colorado, Polis said.
“America, rightfully so, is making
a bet on the future of computing and Colorado is that bet,” Polis said.
“And we’re going to make sure it pays o , not only for Colorado, but for the country and beyond.”
Colorado economic development and technology o cials had identi ed the state’s big head start in quantum research as the most promising avenue when it joined nearly 200 national applicants seeking federal awards from the Department of Commerce’s Regional Technology and Innovation Hubs program. e hubs were enacted as part of the bipartisan CHIPS and Science Act of 2022.
Applicants sought money for one of 10 technologies designated as key to future U.S. research and development. e state applied for up to $75 million in additional federal funding in February, a few months after the Biden administration named Colorado an o cial Tech Hub for quantum computing.
A group called Elevate Quantum formed a consortium of private quantum companies, investors, startups and universities including the University of Colorado and

Colorado School of Mines. At least three Boulder-area companies are building their own quantum computers in a race to o er more qubits, akin to computer data. e quantum industry could bring $3 billion in funding to Colorado over the next decade, o cials say, plus provide jobs for 30,000 future workers at di erent education and training levels.
Colorado’s enthusiasm for quantum technology was reinforced on a recent trade mission to Finland, Polis said Monday. e Scandinavian nation is an international leader in the eld, and Colorado has a memorandum of understanding on research.
“We were certainly hoping that our country would not give leadership in this area to the rest of the world,” Polis said. “And yes, with this decision, the United States of America is making a clear statement that we are serious about America being a leader in quantum technology. Colorado is the place to invest and make it happen.”
Winning the additional funding means that House Bill 1325, passed

Quantum, which refers to the science of probabilities down to the atom and the tech that can speed up complex computer calculations, has a long history in the Boulder region. In the 1950s, the National Institute of Standards and Technology picked Boulder for a research facility. NIST, which needed quantum measurements because they need to measure the most precise and sensitive things in the world, later partnered with the University of Colorado to create the Joint Institute for Laboratory Astrophysics in 1962.

from walking and/or running along our state’s many wonderful paths and scenic nature trails.
There is no better way to appreciate the beauty of Colorado than by witnessing all the sights and sounds of the great outdoors.
Join Colorado Community Media as we host our first-ever 5K run on Saturday, Aug. 24, at Clement Park, 7306 W. Bowles Ave. in Littleton.
And, before the run, we want you to submit your own “Trail Tales,” including photos, to your local newspaper (events@coloradocommunitymedia. com). Tell us where you most enjoy going for a walk or a run in your commuor elsewhere in Colorado.
There are no prizes associated with the event and participants will not receive a “standard” T-shirt. Instead, registered participants will receive a pair of custom running socks. The Share Your Trail Tales 5k Run is open to people of all ages. Participants have the option of making it a fun-filled day for the entire family. Registration fees are $35 for adults (ages 17 & up), $15 (ages 5 to 16), and free for children (ages 4 and under ). Parking for run participants and event attendees is available in the west parking lot, which can be reached as you enter Clement Park through the Library entrance on W. Bowles Avenue.
Park is currently being firmed up to feature other activities throughout the day including food and beverage purchase options offered by local food trucks, vendor booths, and live music entertainment.
In turn, we will share many of those adventurous tales with the readers of our two dozen community newspapers in the weeks ahead of the run. About the 5k: It is scheduled to loop around Johnston Reservoir from 9:30 a.m. to noon. It will start and end on the bike path near Shelter P. The event is different from most 5k runs in many ways. For starters, the sole purpose of this event is to simply provide an opportunity for people across Colorado to come together, interact, and share their personal experiences gained
Colorado Community Media publications span eight counties along Colorado’s majestic Front Range — Weld, Adams, Jeffco, Clear Creek, Douglas, Elbert, Arapahoe and Denver. As a nonprofit organization, community is important to us and we are eager to reach out and meet members of the communities our news organization serves.
“Your support of this event as a race participant and/or as an attendee is paramount to the success of our first Share Your Trail Tales 5k Run and it will help us sustain our ability to support local news,” Scott said. “We encourage the engagement of our readers and future readers to be part of this and future events at Colorado Community Media.” Colorado Community Media could not put on events like this 5k run without the help of its dedicated supporters and sponsors. Sponsorship provides an ideal marketing prospect for your business and positive brand recognition. The organization offers many levels of sponsorship and opportunities for involvement. As a sponsor, you can be part of a fun community event that promotes health and wellness.
