Community grieves after two students die by suicide Classes canceled Oct. 3 at Arapahoe High School BY DAVID GILBERT AND ELLIS ARNOLD STAFF WRITERS

Arapahoe High School staff, parents and students grieved together after two students died by suicide three days apart, Littleton Public Schools officials said. Classes were canceled Oct. 3 and resumed Oct. 4. “There are no words to describe the grief we are experiencing,” Arapahoe High School Principal Natalie Pramenko wrote in a letter to parents. “Like you, we are struggling with this loss. And while we, as adults, are grappling to understand, it’s important that we take care of our students, staff and parents.” A male student, a senior, died on Sept. 29. Another senior, a female student, died the evening of Oct. 2. Parents were informed of the deaths in letters from Pramenko. After school was out for the day on Oct. 4, Cathy DeVoe, an Arapahoe sophomore, said the “atmosphere at school is very emotional.” She added that Arapahoe is “a very supportive community.” Pramenko pointed parents to the district’s list of local resources and urged them to seek assistance for themselves or their children if needed.

IF YOU NEED HELP If you are in need of mental health help, call Colorado Crisis Services at 1-844-493-8255 or text TALK to 38255. Arapahoe High School directed parents to Littleton Public Schools’ list of local resources, including mental health services, and urged them to seek assistance for themselves or their children if needed. The list is located at littletonpublicschools.net/district/familysupport-services “Teachers, mental health professionals, and administrators are engaged with students, parents and staff today and will be in the following days, as well,” Diane Leiker, Littleton Public Schools spokeswoman, said in an emailed statement Oct. 3. While classes were canceled Oct. 3, students were invited to spend time at school through the day for activities in the gym, movies, studying in the library and checking in with the counseling office, according to the district. Additional counselors and mental health professionals were at school for the full day. Pramenko thanked those who came to school and spent time with friends, teachers and other adults. “It was a difficult day, but it was good to see students, staff and parents supporting one another in such positive ways,” Pramenko wrote. Classes resumed Oct. 4 on a late-start

schedule, and additional mental health professionals would be at the school that day and in coming days “for as long as we need,” Pramenko wrote. Arapahoe officials canceled the school’s Oct. 5 football game against rival Cherry Creek High School. Parents were notified of the decision in an Oct. 4 letter from the athletic department. “The Arapahoe Warrior Football team, in particular its upperclassmen, have been impacted significantly,” the letter states. “In light of the current condition of our boys and with memorial services pending, the athletic department, in collaboration with the coaching staff, has made the request that this Friday’s varsity football game between Arapahoe and Cherry Creek not be played. Recognizing that there is nothing more important than the social and emotional health of kids, Cherry Creek High School has graciously agreed to forgo the game. It has been canceled and

will not be rescheduled.” Arapahoe is working with mental health experts and district leadership to “make sure we are doing everything we can to reduce vulnerability and to provide the safest environment possible for our students,” Pramenko wrote. On Oct. 3, students were able to spend time where they chose and use the day for being together, students interviewed after school on Oct. 4 said. When classes resumed, some teachers took time to talk about students’ feelings, they added. Pramenko urged parents to make sure kids are “supported and not alone.” “It is important that we come together tomorrow and in the days ahead to support one another,” Pramenko wrote Oct. 3. “Hug your kids and tell them you love them. Our kids need us. Now more than ever, Warriors take care of one another.”

‘This is our chance to leave a legacy’ School district seeking nearly $300 million from voters, mainly to address building woes BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Littleton Public Schools officials are asking voters to approve a nearly $300 million bond they say will help them better prepare students for life after school and begin replacing the district’s aging buildings. The measure, which will appear on the ballot as Bond 4A and is worth $298 million, is the largest LPS has ever asked for, and would increase property taxes in the district by $29 to $49 per $100,000 of actual home value per year. That means a resident with a home worth $500,000 could see an increase of $145 to $245 a year. In return, district officials say, students would receive a laundry list of benefits: several elementary schools on the southeast side of the district in Centennial would be rebuilt or retooled, a new stadium would be built at Newton Middle School to ease pressure on Littleton Public Schools Stadium, and the district would outfit a career and technical education center where students could learn vocational skills. “Voters of decades past left a legacy for us,” said Littleton Public Schools Superintendent Brian Ewert. “This is our chance to leave a legacy for future generations.” Ewert said he sees the bond — which voters will be asked to approve on ballots that will be mailed out in mid-October — as the beginning of a longEwert term effort to replace the district’s buildings, which have an average age of 58 years. “Many of our buildings are simply at the end of their lifespan,” Ewert said. “Most of them have significant structural problems and issues with access for people with disabilities that area almost impossible to solve.” Razing and raising More than half of the bond money would go toward projects to rebuild or revamp several schools. Among the big projects, at roughly $75 million, would be to build a new, two-story school on the Newton Middle School campus at Arapahoe Road and Colorado Boulevard in Centennial while school is still in session at Newton. The district’s current timeline anticipates beginning construction in 2020, with completion in the fall of 2021. Newton’s structural integrity is failing, Ewert said, and disability access issues mean that it can take a student on crutches or in a wheelchair 20 minutes to get from one side of the school to the other. “We’ve talked to engineers who’ve told us that some of those structural issues simply can’t be fixed,” Ewert said, citing a sinking foundation and other

WHAT DOES IT COST? The range of the potential impact on taxpayers is because of some unknown factors, said Diane Doney, the district’s chief financial officer. The first impact is whether Amendment 73 — a state ballot measure that would generate public school revenue mainly by increasing personal income taxes on those with higher incomes — passes. If it does, Doney said, property taxes on businesses would come down, thus shifting more of the tax liability in the district onto homeowners. The second impact is whether the district chooses to obtain the bond money in one or two pieces, Doney said. If the district borrows the first half now, and the second half in a couple years, then next year’s tax increase would be smaller, she said. Doney said she’d like to seek the whole amount now, considering federal interest rates are expected to increase in coming years. problems. Another quarter of the bond money would go toward a systematic retooling of elementary schools on the district’s southeastern side. The time has come to build a new school on the site of the old Ames Elementary School near Dry Creek Road and Colorado Boulevard, one of two schools shuttered in 2008, Ewert said. The other closed school, Whitman Elementary, has since become the district’s alternative high school. Though Ames was closed in part due to paltry enrollment, that corner of the district has seen an influx of new families in recent years, Ewert said. Roughly 500 students in the old Ames “catchment” area are now bussed to Highland, Franklin and Lenski elementary schools. “We’re bussing kids across town, past other schools,” Ewert said. “We’re adding to the traffic problems around town. It just doesn’t make sense anymore.” As well as rebuilding Ames, Franklin Elementary near deKoevend Park would get a new building while school was still in session at the old building. Once the new building at Franklin is completed, Highland Elementary — which is less than a mile from Franklin — would be closed and its student body absorbed into Franklin. District officials currently anticipate the Ames project would be complete by the fall of 2021, with Franklin’s rebuild completed by the fall of 2022. Highland would then absorb some of the programming currently housed at Ames, including preschool programs and possibly TLC Meals on Wheels, which currently uses Ames’ kitchen. Play ball The plans also call for Newton’s athletic fields to become a “junior stadium,” intended to offer an additional place for LPS sports teams to practice and play. Currently, the district has only one lighted stadium, at Littleton High School. Finding time for all the district’s teams to use the facility has proven increasingly difficult, said Clay Abla, the district’s athletics director. “There are a lot of growing demands

WHAT DOES IT PAY FOR? Littleton Public Schools’ proposed $298 million bond is more than triple the size of its last bond, which was $80 million, passed in 2013. A breakdown of how the $298 million would be spent, according to a Littleton Public Schools website detailing the proposed uses of the bond: 26.9 percent: Replacing Newton Middle School 26.9 percent: Replacing Ames and Franklin elementary schools 10.1 percent: Outfitting the Career and Technical Education center 7.2 percent: Buying new

furniture for all schools, including the two charter schools 5.0 percent: Improving access for people with disabilities districtwide 4.0 percent: Miscellaneous projects 4.0 percent: Installing artificial turf fields: two at each high school and one at each middle school

1.7 percent: School kitchen upgrades 1.7 percent: Irrigation systems and xeriscaping upgrades 1.0 percent: Lighting improvements 1.0 percent: HVAC upgrades 0.7 percent: New play equipment

3.4 percent: Security upgrades

0.7 percent: Repurposing Highland Elementary School for new users

2.9 percent: Building a junior stadium at Newton Middle School

0.1 percent: Electrical upgrades

2.4 percent: Technology upgrades

(Total adds up to 99.7 percent due to rounding)

to use the stadium,” Abla said. “We’re hosting more music and band events. Because of league affiliations, sometimes we’re trying to work around three different games in the same time period.” This year’s change in school start times also crunches the number of hours the stadium can be used, Abla said, because local ordinance requires the stadium to be dark and quiet by 10:30 p.m. Maintaining the stadium’s turf has also gotten more difficult in the face of higher use, said Terry Davis, the district’s director of operations and maintenance. “It’s almost like playing on concrete,” Davis said. The new stadium would be smaller than the main stadium, with 1,000 seats compared to 3,000. That would make it a great size for some of the smallerdraw sports like lacrosse and soccer, Ewert said. District officials said they have heard concerns from homeowners near the proposed stadium who are concerned about a declining quality of life due to the noise, traffic and light the stadium could generate. New technologies will limit light pollution, Ewert said, and parking will be structured to ensure effective ingress and egress. Ewert said he plans to meet with neighboring homeowners to hear their concerns. Trading up Another of the big-ticket items that the bond could pay for is a new Career and Technical Innovation Center — essentially a large vocational training and trade school — to be housed at two old Schomp Automotive buildings just south of Littleton High School. The district is under contract to buy the buildings for $7 million, Ewert said, though Schomp will rent them to Stevenson Automotive for the next two years, with the option for a third. After that, though, the district plans to complete the sale, and has already put up earnest money on the property. The center could become a real boon

to students, said Michell Ansley, the district’s director of innovation and relevance. “We want to expose students to workbased learning,” Ansley said. “Some could leave with certifications and apprenticeships.” Business leaders have told the district they are hoping to see more students graduate with skills applicable to today’s job market, Ewert said. “The district has been good for a long time at sending kids to college,” Ewert said. “But what we’re seeing is kids graduating with $100,000 in debt and moving back into their parents’ basement. With career education, a kid can graduate high school with a welding certificate and be making $50,000 pretty much right away.” Local school districts partner with one another for vocational training, Ewert said, with kids going to Englewood for cosmetology training or Cherry Creek for aviation. The LPS center could be a regional hub for welding, plumbing, automotive training and other skills, Ewert said. Crunch time Ewert has planned a whirlwind tour of area schools and civic groups to stump for the bond ahead of the mailballot election, which culminates in the Nov. 6 Election Day. The stakes are high, Ewert said. “I don’t like to try to scare voters, but if this doesn’t pass, we honestly will probably have to look at closing smaller neighborhood elementary schools,” Ewert said. “We just won’t be able to sustain a school of 300 students.” Ewert said he’s confident about the bond, saying the community is supportive of its schools. Voters have approved all six of the district’s previous requested bonds and mill levies, dating back to 1988. The largest bond, at $85.4 million, was passed in 2002. The most recent bond, for $80 million, was passed in 2013. “We’ve got one of the best, if not the best district in the state,” Ewert said. “We’re proud to be part of this community.”

Victim dies after shooting; boyfriend charged BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

CALM AFTER THE STORM

A young woman died of a gunshot wound on Sept. 28, two days after she was shot in a north Littleton apartment, according to police. Keleshia Nash, 22, died at Swedish Medical Center on Sept. 28. The announcement of her death was delayed several days while police sought her next of kin, according to a Littleton police spokesman. Andrew O’John, 20, faces a charge of first-degree murder in Nash’s death, with sentence enhancements for a violent crime causing death and use of a deadly weapon. O’John is being held at the Arapahoe County jail without bond.

Police responded to Nash’s apartment complex in the 5500 block of South Elati Street after a report of a shooting late on Sept. 26, according to an affidavit. Officers found O’John outside covered in blood. Nash lay in a hallway with a gunshot wound to the neck. Officers interrogated O’John, who said that he and Nash were dating. O’John said he and Nash had gotten in an argument and Nash pulled out a gun. O’John called the shooting an accident, saying he “must have gotten his finger in the trigger guard of the gun and pulled the trigger,” according to the affidavit. O’John’s next court hearing is on Oct. 26.

Denver Fly Day is high point for young participants Centennial Airport event lets young people with special needs see area from planes BY TOM MUNDS TMUNDS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

About 100 young men and women awaited their turn in the XJet hanger to climb into an airplane and take off for a flight around the area during the Sept. 22 Challenge Air for Kids and Friends “Denver Fly Day” at Centennial Airport. Jonathan Sais, 10, got the opportunity to take the flight and, after the flight, spend time operating the controls at the flight simulator set up in the hangar. “It was exciting and it was fun,” Sais said in a quiet, shy voice. “I liked it.” His mother said he and his twin brother Coleman play flight simulator

on their computers all the time. She said it was a big deal for them to get to fly and she was sure they would compare notes about their experiences when they got home. The opportunity for Sais and the other children to fly was part of a national program called Challenge Air. Bob Douek was one of the pilots who volunteered to fly Challenge Air. “This is my second year flying for Challenge Air,” he said. “It is great fun for me and I learn something every time I fly my plane. I really enjoy taking the kids up. Watching the smiles on their faces makes flying them really rewarding for me. I plan to continue to fly as long as I am able.” He said started flying when he was in high school and he got his pilot’s license in 1946 before he got his high school diploma. SEE FLY DAY, P8

April Culver, CEO of Challenge Air, said she was always excited to attend a Challenge Air event and to see the smiles on the faces of the disabled children who not only get to take a ride in a light aircraft but get the chance to take the controls. “These events are only possible because all of the pilots providing the flights volunteer their time and the use of their aircraft for Challenge Air flights,” April Culver, CEO of Challenge Air, said. “A pilot spends an average of about $800 to provide these flights.” Despite the cost, Culver said pilots are eager to volunteer their time and their airplanes to be part of Challenge Day. “We had 102 pilots sign up here at Centennial Airport to be part of today’s program,” she said. “About 80 of our pilots will probably fly as others can’t be part of the program because of a variety of reasons.”

A LIVELY day in Littleton BY CHRISTY STEADMAN CSTEADMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A couple hundred zombies gathered in downtown Littleton for the 15th annual Littleton Zombie Crawl and Pig Roast on Oct. 6. Led by Brothers of Brass band of Denver, at noon, the zombies traveled west from the Woodlawn Shopping Center, 1500 W. Littleton Blvd., to Reinke Bros., 5663 S. Prince St., where a free pig roast was served by the Littleton Elks Lodge 1650. The event, sponsored by the Historic Downtown Littleton Merchants Association and Reinke Bros., was in conjunction with the grand re-opening of the Reinke Brothers Haunted Mansion, which has been closed for about three years because of roof damage, said Greg Reinke, co-owner of Reinke Brothers along with his brother Chris.

This was the first year for Denver residents Amy and Chris Carroll to participate in the Littleton Zombie Crawl and Pig Roast, but the two have been longtime customers of Reinke Brothers costume shop.

VOICES

As Bruegel would say, DIA is boorish and depressing

his lively essay needs an image to go along with it. Please look up Pieter Bruegel the Elder’s painting “The Fall of the Rebel Angels,” and have it handy when you read the following paragraph about an average day at Denver International Airport on Concourses A, B, and C. Myopia is on the upswing: Text call shove bump. Text call shove bump. Flash dash fling scatter smash. Flash dash fling scatter smash. Text text text text text. Repeat. It was just another day, but it had holiday numbers. Jennifer said, “We need a bigger airport.” None of what an average traveler looks like, does, or goes through is ever covered in an airline commercial. It is Black Friday in flip-flops. Everyone is speeding into a new sunrise, head down, texting or calling, and dressed like it’s the Slobsville bus depot. Not sure when it started to happen.

Preface: I am not Yves St. Laurent or Emily Post. I have no interest in fashion and red carpets and who is wearing whom. However, I don’t go to airports looking like Moondoggie. Cole Porter referred to a “glimpse of stocking as something shocking.” QUIET He didn’t live long DESPERATION enough to see that anything really goes. A few days ago I read an article about the new, relaxed dress code at public schools in Alameda, California. I am, thankfully, not an Alameda public-school teacher. Craig Marshall Midriff-baring Smith shirts are acceptable. So are tank tops with spaghetti straps, micro-miniskirts and short shorts. I can’t see any good coming from this, except the attendance rate overall

will be higher than ever. One 14-year-old boy (who is probably thanking his lucky stars) said, “If someone is wearing a short shirt and you can see her stomach, it’s not her fault that she’s distracting other people.” Back to DIA: It’s barefoot in the park at security. Flip-flops come off and all ages can be seen walking on flooring that is hopping mad with particulates. I saw feet and other things that some people probably pay to see. I dodged and Jennifer dodged. People came at us (see Bruegel’s painting) from every direction, head down, intent and oblivious. You might think I’m kidding here, but the place is obnoxious. Jennifer became ill from it. There is a different mentality at airports now that is no different than swap meets and garage sales. Come as you are. Be as rude as you want. And don’t forget your phone. And don’t forget that the man next to the man next to the man wants hear

you yell-tell exactly when you’ll be home. It’s too late. It’s over. We’re bums. We’re selfish, self-absorbed bums, and there is nothing different or special about an airport. An international airport is a 24-hour-a-day miracle of technology and organization and coordination. I see people who belch and cough and blurt, like they’re at home in a faux-wood paneled rec room, wearing unbuttoned pants after a bovine casserole. I know Charles Dickens would love it if he were around. No one wrote about the foibles of human behavior better than he did. Go back to Bruegel: That’s me, the inverted toad, bottom center. Conceded to what is happening all around me. Croak.

to warn voters throughout our region that, for our future and that of our children and grandchildren, Proposition 112 deserves a no vote. Robert Golden President and CEO of the South Metro Denver Chamber of Commerce

be from industries outside of oil and gas, including education, construction and health care. Setbacks this extreme will effectively eliminate oil and gas development altogether; a ban that will mean a loss of revenue critical for schools, parks, road improvements, police and fire departments. Neither will extreme setbacks contribute to safer industry operations; Colorado already has the strongest regulations in the country when it comes to air, water and flowlines, which help ensure environmental protection. When casting your ballot, I urge you to say no to this extreme ballot measure and vote no on 112. Brian Bolton Englewood

Who will provide the service or how it will compare to our previous Littleton Fire Department. Whether we vote yes or no, Littleton City Council has already decided we are closing our fire department andz joining South Metro. Nothing about this vote has any bearing on the services we will receive. Any future city mill levy reductions, which may or may not be considered by future Littleton City Councils not yet seated. Street repair. Please read carefully, ask questions and vote no on 7B. Gloria Shone Littleton

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Vote no on Proposition 112 Debates over the future of Colorado’s oil and gas industry can seem remote for residents in the southern suburbs of Denver. But ballot measures such as Proposition 112, which would cripple the state’s energy economy and cost tens of thousands of jobs, could have devastating effects for families and businesses in our area. It must be soundly defeated. If passed, what would this measure do to our state’s economy? A study by the Common Sense Policy Roundtable said the effect would erase nearly 150,000 jobs in the next dozen years, and more than three-quarters of all jobs lost would be outside of the energy industry. These are big statewide numbers, and the economic body-blow will be felt in our area. An economic impact study done by the Leeds School of Business at the University of Colorado showed that nearly 2,800 jobs in Arapahoe County, generating almost $250 million in annual income, are tied to the energy industry. And in Denver, where many local residents commute to work, there are 18,000 jobs generating $2 billion in income. We are sounding the alarm bell now

112 is too extreme The benefits of cheap, clean-burning, and locally-produced oil and natural gas touch every part of Colorado. Even here in Englewood where we’re many miles from production, the oil and gas industry makes an impact. It’s with this in mind that I’d encourage everyone to vote no on Proposition 112. The effects of increasing oil and gas setbacks to nearly half a mile will be felt both immediately, and over the long term. Colorado would stand to lose 43,000 jobs in the first year alone, and more than 140,000 jobs through 2030, as stated by the Common Sense Policy Roundtable. While the oil and gas industry will be hit hard, the ripple effect to other trades is profound. Having a robust oil and gas industry means cheaper energy prices, full tax coffers, and a strong economy in other sectors. The majority of jobs lost will

Vote no on fire issue Despite confusing ballot language and campaign rhetoric, the choice presented to voters is simple. Vote yes if you want to pay a new 9.25 mill property tax levy to South Metro Fire Protection District. Vote no if you want the City of Littleton to continue paying for our fire and medical emergency services from its General Fund as it always has. What we are not voting on:

7B is a bad idea Like ancient Rome, Littleton may experience a fall from within if Proposition 7B is passed. A yes on 7B would approve a new, additional tax for fire and rescue services. The city has already contracted with South Metro Fire and Rescue, starting Jan. 1, 2019 and plans to give SMFR all of Littleton’s $10 million fire assets for zero return to Littleton’s taxpayers.

Confessions of a conflict coach — I’m still learning

rofessionally, I have worked with conflict for decades — finding tools and resources, teaching classes on conflict and anger management, and facilitating conflict conversations. In the state Senate, I learned how to navigate conflict with higher stakes — knowing people’s lives were sometimes depending on us to resolve our conflict. I’ve worked on alternative dispute resolution and restorative justice statutes and established Conflict Resolution Month in Colorado in the state Legislature. That’s what I’ve done in the public eye. I’ve loved it. I’m proud of it. But how I’ve handled conflict in my personal life has been a different story. As I’ve been in seminary and chaplaincy training recently, we are not only studying theology, ethics, and social justice, but also examining ourselves internally. Through this soul-searching, I have discovered how I have dealt with conflict in my personal life, and it SEYMOUR

hasn’t always been healthy. Growing up with an alcoholic father and co-dependent mother, I was taught well how to be the peacemaker and avoid, ignore, or sweep conflict under the rug. That seemed GUEST to work well for me over the years. I was COLUMN always the optimistic one in the room, focusing on the goodness of life and every human and able to maintain a peaceful life. Then I married an alcoholic who similarly had no training or counseling at that point, and I Linda Newell furthered my skewed rose-colored glasses worldview, just to keep peace in our household. Now divorced, single with adult daughters, back in counseling and in seminary, I am discovering what I’ve done well, what I’ve done poorly, and

what I’ve simply not been able to see at all. Due to the trauma I experienced (or tried to avoid), I am now discovering that I literally don’t share all the same memories of our household events as my daughters have. We each remember varying degrees of our experiences because our brains, when in trauma, “select” which memories to retain consciously or hidden. And this is how we’re able to “handle” conflict healthily or not. On one hand, I am very grateful our family survived much conflict, whether it was avoided or managed effectively. On the other hand, we are re-learning, together and separately, how to handle conflict directly and beneficially. “They” say it’s never too late. I believe you teach what you need to learn the most. I’m finding that’s very true … again. Publicly, when I’m aware and conscious, I’ve been able to prevent or manage conflict pretty darn well. Privately, I am unlearning

my co-dependent ways and re-learning how to personally use what I teach. So, it’s Conflict Resolution Month in Colorado, and before you think, “So what,” you may want to take an internal look at yourself this year. It’s amazing how relationships improve when we’re willing to look at ourselves, talk about it, and work it out together. If you want to learn about preventing or managing conflict, there are workshops, classes, articles, books, and facilitation and mediation professionals available. Check out www.conflictresolutionmonth.org or email me.

Donald Dean Seymour 1934 – 2018

Don was a lifetime resident of Englewood, Colorado. Born in 1934, he attended Englewood public schools, and graduated from Englewood High School in 1952. Don was a life-long Boy Scout, from Cub Scout through Eagle Scout, and was awarded the Silver Beaver for his service to the Denver Area Council. Don was a member of The Order of the Arrow where he received the Vigil Honor and, during the OA’s centennial year in 2015, received the Centurion Award. Don served in the United States Air Force for 4 years, 2 of those spent living in Tokyo as a translator between the Japanese telephone company and the Far East Air Force. Don had a 35-year career with the telephone company (Mountain Bell/ USWest/Qwest/CenturyLink), beginning right out of high school as a phone installer, working his way up to the engineering department, and ultimately working as a right-of-way agent for the company. Don earned a Bachelor of Arts in Business while working full-time. After retirement, Don achieved a 2nd BA in Fine Arts, and applied that knowledge while teaching students at Metro State College in the woodworking and metal shops. Don also put his creativity and artistic skills to work for over 20 years to produce innumerable working props and sets for the Englewood High School theater department and the City of Englewood summer theater program. Post-retirement employment also included working for the Colorado State Historical Society as a mount maker and exhibits preparator. Don was a retired Englewood Volunteer Fireman achieving the rank of Deputy Chief; he sat on the ethics board of Swedish hospital; and he was a voting member of the Board of Adjustments and Appeals for the City of Englewood for more than 25 years. Don’s parents were founding members of Mayflower Church in Englewood,

BEBBER

and he was an active member there until the end of his life. Over the years Don and his wife Marilyn enjoyed sponsoring many scholarships so that Mayflower’s kids could enjoy camp at La Foret church camp. Don was a camper at La Foret church camp in his youth. Don returned there in his late 60s, attending Contemplative Camp every summer for many years. For his 70th birthday he designed, financed, and directed the construction of the beautiful labyrinth that campers and visitors to the site enjoy today, and will continue to enjoy for years to come. Don was a founding member of the Tahosa Alumni Association – a group of former campers and camp staff who were concerned for the future of the beautiful Boulder County Boy Scout camp of their youth, Camp Tahosa. Initially founded as a social organization in the 1960s, it became their mission in the early 1980s to save the camp from the wrecking ball. Camp Tahosa stands today as a shining jewel in the Colorado Boy Scout camping experience crown. Don enjoyed his 5-decade role as Santa Claus throughout the Denver metro area and State of Colorado for the City of Englewood, Colorado State Patrol, The Denver Broncos, Mountain Bell, and hundreds of friends and family members.

he Denver metro area has it all — diverse entertainment in spectacular venues; vast shopping options from big box retail to small, family-owned businesses; and a variety of dining establishments. But some local businesses go above and beyond, either through partnerships or collaborative work with others, to offer a unique experience all of their own. Here are some of the odder combinations that can be found. Lights Out! and Harley’s: A Hot Dog Revolution, downtown Littleton James Goodchild, 34, has always had an interest in horrorthemed movies and tales. “I’m that kid who was watch-

ing Freddy Krueger at 8 years old,” he said. “Halloweens at our house are always the event of the year.” Today, he took that passion and turned it into a business. He and his wife, Pamela, opened Lights Out! Escape Rooms and Social Lounge in Littleton in April. “It started out as a Halloween concept at our house,” Goodchild said of the years he would set up a private horrorthemed escape room in the garage for local residents and neighbors. “And it morphed into this. A lot of the props are from our family home.”

Although all are horrorthemed, the emphasis is not on jump-scares, Goodchild said. “This is not a haunted house,” he said. “We want your focus on the puzzles, rather than the scare factor.” Difficulty level in the individual rooms range in from five to eight and each room plays differently. The social lounge, called The Sanctuary, is open to the public. Although it is a place to gather before or after doing an escape room, there is no requirement to do an escape room to visit the social lounge. The Sanctuary offers adult

beverages, entertainment such as chess and board games — “Game of Thrones” and “The Walking Dead” Risk games, for example — in addition to free horror movie nights each Wednesday. For food, Goodchild partners with Romano’s Italian Restaurant and Dickey’s Barbecue Pit for large-order catering. The business also promotes the eatery right next door, Harley’s: A Hot Dog Revolution. Harley’s is a well-known, reputable business that has been in operation for 5 1/2 years, said owner Ed Ginsburg. It’s a good arrangement, and the escape rooms are a blast, Ginsburg added. “They provide a lot of fun,” he said, “and we provide the good food.” Canyon Point and Wander and Wonder World Maps, Golden Dr. Amy Shearer’s patients at Canyon Point Orthodontics and Dr. Paul Madlock’s patients at Canyon Point Implant and Oral Surgery were curious why all the walls in the large building were blank.

Wyoming Sheriff Walt Longmire has been fighting Mexican drug cartel boss Tomas Bidarte for some time, but things truly took a bad turn at the end of Craig Johnson’s last Longmire book, “Western Star.” Longmire’s beloved daughter, Cady, was kidnapped by Bidarte and is hidden in a remote village in northern Mexico. The evil drug lord threatens to auction her off to the highest bidder. Longmire, who of course must save her, doesn’t get much help from the American government, nor the Mexican one and must go alone to rescue her. Well, almost alone, with his American Indian sidekick, Henry Standing Bear, and Vic staying behind in Wyoming … Move the scene to an old bar in Juarez, where supposedly, the margarita was invented … Johnson immediately begins to introduce a cast of characters. The Seer is a humpback man with no legs, who has a driver in a big, pink Mary Kay Cadillac … Then it’s Guzman, who gets him started on his quest, guided by young, almost silent (due to his tongue being cut out) but to-be-trusted Isidro, who is Apache/Tarahumara and a fine marksman. More names will appear in this imaginative cast … Estante del Diablo, Shelf of the Devil, is the destination village, where the captive Cady is held, and Longmire is warned to trust nobody at all!

QUIRKY FROM PAGE 16

“It was honestly because we couldn’t find the right fit for our space,” Shearer said, adding she didn’t want to put up generic artwork purchased from a chain retail store. “We have these amazing spaces and were searching for the right artist.” Shearer and Madlock, husband and wife, opened their separate practices in the same building in October 2010. About a year ago, they met Golden artist Charlotte Bassin and a new partnership was formed — on Sept. 29, an opening celebration for the art gallery at Canyon Point took place. Last year, Bassin left her job as a designer and photographer with the Denver Zoo to pursue becoming a professional artist and start her own business, Wander and Wonder World Maps. There are about 30 pieces of Bassin’s world maps on display at Canyon Point. All of it — both original and prints — is for sale. But the business not operated as a traditional art gallery, Shearer said. Bassin also takes commissions for for custom jobs. The art gallery is open to the public during regular business hours, but to help protect patient privacy, people who want to visit the art gallery must call Canyon Point to arrange a guided tour. “These business relationships fuel the economy,” Shearer said. “If this helps (Bassin) live her dream as a professional artist, I think that’s an

October 11, 2018O incredible thing we did for someone in our community.” Bassin is happy to have her art displayed in a non-traditional art gallery, she said, because it helps expose people to fine art that they might not otherwise see. “They might not be art lovers, or know that they’re art lovers, because they don’t visit art galleries,” Bassin said. “My hope is that when people see them, they reminisce about places they’ve been or dream of places they have yet to go.” Lube & Latte, Lakewood/Wheat Ridge It can be unpleasant sitting, waiting for your car to be serviced with a stale or instant coffee in hand, flavored only with powdered creamer. “We’re creating a comfortable, clean environment,” said Lube & Latte owner Dustin Olde. “It makes the time go faster if you have something delicious to drink or snack on while you’re waiting.” Lube & Latte opened in 2007. Olde partners with Novo Coffee, a familyowned and operated business in Denver, for the coffee it serves and Sugar Bakeshop, also a small business in Denver, for the pastry selection. The auto mechanics are ASE certified and can work on all vehicle makes and models. Auto services include everything from scheduled maintenance, unexpected repairs, diagnostics and lube and oil changes. The venue is small, but offers a clean restroom, free Wi-Fi, couch seating and a high-top bar area for those who would like to bring a laptop computer. In addition, the décor is not what you would normally find at

a mechanic shop, Olde said — there are no windshield wiper displays or poster-sized tire ads. “All that helps make it more welcoming,” he added. Providing coffee at an auto repair shop is not a new concept, Olde said. But, “at many shops, you’re served a product you can get anywhere,” Olde said. “Novo Coffee and Sugar Bakeshop pastries are unique and better quality.” It’s good to be able to partner with other small, local businesses where you can work directly with the owner, he added. “They are as committed to your success as you are to theirs,” Olde said. Olde worked in a lot of coffee shops after college, he said, and he always enjoyed the aromas of fresh coffee and the friendly, relaxed environment. “To me, it was just a natural update to the standard auto repair shop,” Olde said. “People are friendlier over a cup of coffee.” Game Train, Highlands Ranch When Jo Ellen Christian of Centennial was a young girl, she would travel with her grandmother by train. During the trip, her grandmother would always ask the other passengers to play games, usually card games, with them. And more often than not, they did, Christian said. “It was a lot of fun,” she said. “We got to get to know people from all over the country.” Today, she and her husband Kevin have taken that nostalgia and will be opening Game Train in December. Dubbed “a board-game getaway” by

the Christians, the venue will be a restaurant, simulated train and boardgame establishment. “Our goal is to be a social place where people can have fun and interact face-to-face,” Christian said. “I enjoy being around people and watching them have fun.” The establishment is currently under construction. The end result will offer patrons unlimited play of hundreds of board games for a $5 library fee and train simulators that will provide the rumble and sounds of riding in a real train car. Décor will resemble a Victorian train station and seating will be strategically placed so people can enjoy private game play with their group. Those who do not wish to play games are welcome to visit for dining only, Christian said. “We have a great chef who inspired our menu,” she added. The Christians are working with Erie’s chef Robert Corey, a renowned chef who has taught at The Art Institute of Colorado and at Johnson & Wales University. In his career, he has led or been on the opening team for about 25 restaurants across the U.S. and in Mexico. In Colorado, Corey has cooked for guests of the RedRum Mystery Dinner at The Stanley Hotel in Estes Park, in addition to opening his own restaurant, Seasoned — An American Bistro, in June last year. Game Train is fashioned after the “bygone times of parlor games, inventions and travel,” its website states. “We want to be a destination where people can relax and feel like they’re getting away from their everyday routine,” she said.

LONGMIRE FROM PAGE 17

Johnson’s sense of humor underlies his storytelling although the landscape is grim and characters are violent … a bit too grim for this reader as an introduction to this popular series — “Depth of Winter” is No. 14, but I haven’t read the earlier books. The village, when Longmire finds it, is a really awful, ugly place — the contrast of a sort of festival happening makes it seem even worse. Of course, our hero is captured and more characters appear on the scene. Johnson really writes well as he keeps one in the moment, wherever Longmire is, as he gets near to his daughter and starts figuring out a plan … A reader can smell the village, feel the heat and see the worn buildings, including the one where Cady is imprisoned. One can’t be alive and reading in the West and remain unaware of this legendary sheriff-and the related TV series. I will try an earlier story next. When Douglas County Libraries brought Johnson here to speak recently, I was thoroughly engaged. He said he often starts a book with inspiration from a newspaper article in his massive file of clippings. “You’re looking at an `executive creative consultant,’” he said with a happy grin. Dispatches by sheriff ’s deputies are also a good source of stories. A look at early reviews finds fans who disagree with his choice to wander from Wyoming and the sheriff ’s home territory. When he spoke at Lone Tree, he reminisced fondly about his

CLOG-FREE

American Indian friends, who live near his ranch in Wyoming. (“I say Indian,” he declared.) “But, these are my friends and neighbors—where is the tension? Hollywood relies on tension!” So he set out for dangerous northern Mexican cartel country with Longmire — which provides plenty of tension and still more characters and storylines. “Do you ever write something that makes you laugh?,” he was asked in a following Q&A session. “If it doesn’t make me laugh, it won’t make you laugh,” he responded. And there are indeed funny parts in “Depth of Winter,” despite the desperate circumstances. Suspend the logic and roll with Johnson as he leads Longmire in and out of one dangerous situation after another. Watch a master storyteller at work as he reassembles the puzzle pieces … And picture this story on film eventually — it would seem to be a natural.

All of Littleton’s fire and rescue personnel, trained at Littleton’s expense, would also go to SMFR. Littleton already has the money needed so 7B would be a double tax. The most egregious overstepping act of the proposal disregards Littleton’s charter, which states in Article XI, Sec. 104: “The Council shall provide by ordinance fire, police and health services...” Littleton City Council has farmed out fire and rescue services to SMFR. Vote no on 7B and tell the council to use existing funds and to abide by the charter! Ken Peters Littleton Vote Brauchler for AG I’ve known him for more than 25 years. I’ve seen him in the courtroom, the classroom and the boardroom. I’ve seen his skill and zeal at work

and I know his character. George Brauchler will protect Coloradans and their values. I’m supporting George Brauchler for Colorado attorney general. As someone in law enforcement, it is critical our next AG understands the criminal issues impacting our county like the illegal pot industry that is bringing an increase in crime to Colorado. The AG needs to be a watchman over our air, water and land from the federal government’s over-zealous attempts to control our state’s precious resources. George will stand up to Washington. He has tried hundreds of cases at every level: municipal, state, federal and military. He is a district attorney for one of the state’s largest judicial districts. George has the experience. He has the qualifications. George Brauchler is the only real choice. The only candidate with the right experience to be Colorado’s next attorney general. Jeff Shrader Jefferson County sheriff

What makes you the best choice for this office? As a homegrown Coloradan, I believe in that frontier spirit of standing your ground and finding common ground. As your state representative, I stood up for our schools by bringing in more than $1 billion of new funding. I found common ground in a $3.5 billion bipartisan transportation plan — without raising taxes. I’ve fought and won for our community, and I would deeply appreciate your support in this next election. Let’s continue what we’ve started.

What can the Legislature do to ease the strain of rising housing prices on Colorado residents? Anyone willing to work hard at a full-time job should be able to pay for housing and put food on the table. I sponsored legislation to create a tax credit for the development of affordable housing for home ownership and another to increase the development of multi-family for-sale units by reducing frivolous lawsuits. Colorado is one of the fastestgrowing states in the nation, and we must ensure that our strong economy works for everyone.

» Real experience — I learned leadership firsthand as a young naval officer. After the 9/11 attacks, I reported onboard USS Princeton, where I deployed to the Persian Gulf and returned to Iraq in 2009, where I focused on developing a strategy for prosecuting terrorists. After active duty, I focused on health care, and became the chief operating officer of IMMUNOe Health & Research Centers, which is on the forefront of immune related health and research.

What makes you the best choice for this office?

One key problem we have in Colorado is lack of supply. Unfortunately, my opponent voted for HB18-1262, a bill designed to increase construction litigation. This is the wrong approach, as it would reduce supply and drive up costs in the housing market. To ease the strain of rising housing prices, for construction-defect cases, I support arbitration instead of expensive litigation. This would help the economy and increase alternative home options for many families.

What can the Legislature do to ease the strain of rising housing prices on Colorado residents?

I have been fortunate enough to live the middle-class lifestyle many Coloradans find out of reach today, and I want to take that experience to our legislative body and stand up for working families in my district. Through my time in the Air Force and with the post office, I have served my state and country nearly my entire life, and I want to continue doing so by serving the people of House District 37.

Colorado must establish a sustainable and permanent attainable housing trust fund so that we can invest in homeownership initiatives for working Coloradans. We can do so without instituting burdensome taxes on our communities or gutting other key services and programs from our state budget.

In this era of division and partisan bickering, we need leaders who are willing to tackle tough issues and work in a bipartisan fashion. In my first two terms in the Colorado House, I have demonstrated exactly that kind of leadership and track record. During the 2018 session, I sponsored 28 bills, each with bipartisan co-sponsors. Twenty-two of those bills have now been signed into law. I listen, I work hard and I get results.

We need more home-ownership options across the price spectrum. When I ran for re-election in 2016, I pledged to work on expanding the condominium market by reforming our construction-litigation laws. I fulfilled that promise by sponsoring and passing HB17-1279. Condominium construction is on the rise. However, construction costs remain too high. I am exploring various legislative options to further reduce litigation risk, increase the construction labor pool and to reduce insurance rates for builders.

What makes you the best choice for this office? I have the commitment and the proven track record. My husband Bruce and I have lived in House District 38 for over 30 years. We raised two children and built our home and lives in this community. I served this area as a respected Arapahoe County commissioner for 12 years. As a Colorado state representative. I have made positive impacts in areas of attainable housing, health-care cost transparency, school safety, transportation and senior services.

What can the Legislature do to ease the strain of rising housing prices on Colorado residents? Keep property taxes low, especially for our senior citizens living on fixed income. Currently, the senior property-tax exemption provides some tax relief for seniors over 65. The Legislature has the ability to eliminate this exemption, and there has been much discussion this year about eliminating this tax relief. Property tax is increasing, and seniors would be negatively impacted and feel the pain of tightened budgets. I support keeping the senior property tax “homestead” exemption.

» Chris Kolker Party: Democratic City or town of residence: Centennial Profession: Certified financial planner Campaign website: KolkerForColorado.com

I am willing to listen, act and legislate based on the values of residents throughout this district. I believe in common sense to guide my decision making. There is far too much partisan legislation from our current representative. We deserve a more open-minded approach from our representative than someone who votes against testing lead in our public schools’ drinking water or one who sponsored a bill to cut Medicaid funding to seniors in nursing homes.

We need to look at why these homes are unaffordable. Wages are stagnating. Rising housing prices do not have to be an issue if wages can increase at a rate similar to the cost of housing. We can expand opportunities in apprenticeship programs that increase starting salaries. We must consider supply and demand. More supply will help reduce costs of housing. We need to balance the needs of maintaining water supply with increased housing construction.

ELECTIONS 2018 What can be done to ensure the state’s transportation system will be able to accommodate continued population growth?

What two issues demand more attention in the upcoming Legislative session than they received in the previous one?

Interstate 25 shouldn’t be Colorado’s largest parking lot. Our transportation infrastructure is woefully inadequate for today’s population, and that’s true across our entire state. Earlier this year, I co-sponsored a major bipartisan transportation plan to invest $3.5 billion in our roads, bridges and transit — without raising taxes. We must continue to prioritize transportation funding so families don’t have to sit in traffic and goods and services can move freely across our state.

Colorado has one of the strongest economies in the nation, yet too many families feel like no matter how hard they work, they just can’t get ahead. We need to bring down the cost of health care, housing and higher education. We need to create more innovative public schools that give every kid a fair shot no matter where they come from. And we need to do even more to fight traffic.

We live in the greatest state with the best people — the kind who’ll smile and wave at a complete stranger. We believe in the frontier values of opportunity, independence and responsibility. We want courage in our leaders and results from our elected officials. Over the last two years I’ve had major wins on education, transportation and health care. Over the next two years, I look forward to continuing the fight to protect the Colorado we love.

Transportation challenges affect public safety, family time and increased insurance costs. Colorado requires long-term solutions that include changing technology and driving patterns and habits in the future. Solutions to Colorado’s congestion exist, but it will take hard work from legislators from both sides. With economic growth, we’ve got the necessary funds to have an aggressive strategy for transportation. This year’s transportation bill — sponsored by my opponent — was too small and kicked the can down the road.

We must recognize that Colorado’s health-care costs and trajectory under current leadership is unacceptable. Health care is more expensive in Colorado than any of our bordering states. I have skin in the game far beyond talk here: I decided to help lead Veros Biologics — a company focused on improving the quality of health and life for patients with complex conditions through innovative and cost-effective solutions. I’ll bring this same action to our state Capitol.

We all know talking is the easy part. Politicians tend to speak, then fold when asked for specifics. I always want to be honest and direct. Here are the issues I want to solve: Reduce runaway health-care cost without impacting care, prioritize general-fund dollars — without increasing taxes — to our congestion issues, and support teachers by fighting to keep money in the classroom.

What can be done to ensure the state’s transportation system will be able to accommodate continued population growth?

What two issues demand more attention in the upcoming Legislative session than they received in the previous one?

We have to start focusing on moving people instead of cars. I support investing in multi-modal forms of transportation and repairing our roads and bridges. Doing so will make our state more accessible and also create good-paying jobs for local communities.

Workforce development and suicide prevention. We need to prepare our children for an ever-changing economy and help businesses attract the employment talent they need to succeed and grow our economy. Colorado is also currently in the top 10 states in the country for suicide deaths. I find this tragic, especially because so many of them arise from a firearm. These deaths are preventable, and I will work hard with my colleagues to address this head-on.

One of my top priorities is to pass an Extreme Risk Protection Order bill, commonly referred to as a “red flag” bill. This bill is in essence a suicide-prevention bill that will empower law enforcement officers to intervene in a dangerous situation when there is a firearm involved. We must end preventable gun violence and suicides, and this is a good first step toward that goal.

Colorado has a spending problem, which is unsustainable. While government spending on social programs has increased dramatically over the last 10 years, transportation and infrastructure spending has remained relatively flat. Our budget process is not working. Simply, more general-fund dollars need to be allocated to roads and bridges. I will also continue to support long-term bonding solutions for these projects. Families prioritize their budgets every day. Government must learn to do the same.

We need to do more work on criminal justice reform. Public safety must come first. However, our state corrections system (a nearly $1 billion line item in our budget) needs structural changes to improve efficiency and outcomes. Our mental health system is failing to help citizens in crisis, placing law enforcement and our communities at risk. We need to expand resources in this area and more effectively coordinate state and local mental health initiatives.

Budget-process reform remains a top priority for me. Currently, Colorado utilizes a six-member Joint Budget Committee to prepare our state’s budget. Despite the JBC’s best efforts, most of the substantive work is performed by unelected staff. This process does not hold elected officials accountable for budget priorities. I have proposed several measures that would broaden legislative oversight of state departments during the figure-setting process. We must continue to implement systemic changes to our budget process.

What can be done to ensure the state’s transportation system will be able to accommodate continued population growth?

What two issues demand more attention in the upcoming Legislative session than they received in the previous one?

If elected, what must you accomplish in order for you to consider your term a success?

In November, we have the opportunity to vote on initiatives to improve our transportation system. I support the ballot initiative “Fix Our Damn Roads.” This proposal would authorize the bonding of $3.5 billion to upgrade Colorado’s road and highway system with no additional taxes. This measure is similar to other successful voter-approved bonding efforts in Colorado. Hopefully, the voters will help the Legislature prioritize our budget and provide the citizens safer, better roads.

Health-care costs have skyrocketed. Higher out-of-pocket expenses can be mediated with true health-care price transparency. Public safety is eroded with illegal drug trafficking and urban encampments. Over 900 Coloradans lost their lives this year because of drug overdoses, many from illegal heroin and fentanyl. There has been a staggering increase of urban encampment across the state. These encampments are an immediate threat to the public health and public safety. Our communities must be safe!

Last year, over 700 legislative bills were introduced. That is insane. With all these new laws, we are negatively impacting our citizens, local governments, school districts and small businesses with a barrage of unneeded mandates and regulations that increase costs and restrict flexibility. We need less legislation and less regulation. I would like to work in bipartisan effort to rewrite the rules and limit the number of bills a legislator may introduce. Less legislation, better results!

Right now, we do not even have enough money to fix and maintain our roads and bridges. We should start there. We must focus coordinating transportation districts between state, municipalities and counties to ease the use of mass transportation. Bringing these groups together will reduce cost and increase efficiency. Mass transportation should be more readily available. I would like to see it become a more efficient form of transportation. This will accommodate Colorado’s growth.

Last year, a Republican and a Democrat created a bill to address mental health and gun violence. This was the “Red Flag Bill,” voted against by our current representative. This was supported by the Douglas County sheriff and the Republican nominee for attorney general of Colorado. Second, funding classrooms was not given enough attention. HB181232 would have created a student-centric funding formula for schools, and I would like to sponsor a similar bill in 2019.

One measure of success is that I am going to focus on funding our public school classrooms. Secondly, I am committed to reaching across the aisle to work for the people of this district and state. Lastly, I want to be available, transparent and accountable to the people of this district and always stay in touch to assist with issues and answer questions, whenever they may occur. If I can accomplish all of these, I will consider my term as your representative a success.

If elected, what must you accomplish in order for you to consider your term a success?

Arapahoe County sheriff Tyler Brown Party: Democratic City or town of residence: Centennial Profession: Police officer Campaign website: tylerbrownforsheriff.org

What makes you the best choice for commissioner?

What do you see as the most important responsibilities of a county commissioner?

I have a track record of leadership and service in Arapahoe County — as commissioner, mayor of Greenwood Village and as successful business executive. It’s important that we elect a qualified, collaborative commissioner. Some of my leadership experiences include: Chairperson for Arapahoe County Board of County Commissioners, Metro Area County Commissioners, Metro Mayors Caucus, Denver Regional Council of Governments; Mayor, Council Member, Planning and Zoning Commissioner of Greenwood Village; Colorado Commissioner of the Year.

Jobs and economic development are my top priority, and I support a business-friendly Arapahoe County that manages growth responsibly. Our communities need stable businesses and employers to thrive and give citizens the jobs they need to support their families. I’m committed to budgeting conservatively, enforcing fiscal discipline and developing long-range plans.

I am an experienced public servant with cities, the county, and special districts with no further political ambition. I will be a proactive commissioner addressing problems before they become a crisis.

I will be a steward responsibly managing the budget of the county, addressing the needs of an aging infrastructure. I will save the taxpayer money by addressing problems before they become more costly. I will listen and respond to the voices of the citizens and not just to the moneyed special interests.

What makes you the best choice for sheriff? I am a progressive, innovative leader who will create a progressive, transparent sheriff ’s office for the future. I’m going to create a bipartisan sheriff ’s office and create an agency that provides a professional service the all residents. I will empower the residents of Arapahoe County to be active participants to build a healthy, thriving and safe partnership with the sheriff ’s office.

How has population growth affected crime in the county? Population growth has affected crime across the state. One of the ways I want to ensure a safe community is to have the appropriate number of highly-trained deputies on patrol to engage in community policing efforts. I support and push for change throughout the community. I believe in empowering the residents of Arapahoe County to be active participants to build a healthy, thriving and safe partnership with the sheriff’s office.

My experience of being in my fifth year as sheriff, 37 years in law enforcement and my accomplishments. I’ve more than doubled the number of school resource officers we have, signed a new 10-year contract with Centennial, opening of a regional crime lab that will serve the entire Judicial District, increased patrol staffing to include the eastern part of Arapahoe County, and more and better training in dealing with people with mental health issues.

Why are you seeking this office? What motivates me to serve as your county assessor is the opportunity to improve the fairness, accountability, efficiency and transparency of assessments and services to the Arapahoe County taxpayers about their real estate and personal business properties.

More people moving to, traveling through and spending time in Arapahoe County has increased calls for service, which result in increased criminal activity. We continue to be a safe community overall, but think about expanding single-family residential areas, multi-family housing developments, business development, increased traffic, and an increase in the prevalence of mental health related calls for service (which sometimes turn into criminal behavior) and drugs.

What makes you the best choice for assessor? I have an MBA in finance and a master’s in accounting. I have been a real estate broker for about 13 years and ran a real estate brokerage company. I have worked for agencies like the Department of Revenue, School of Mines, City & County of Denver and Community Colleges system and US Postal Service. I am an active political worker and I am well known and respected by communities across the county.

Property tax in Arapahoe County supports nine school districts, 13 cities and towns, and numerous taxing authorities. The assessor’s office is an important part of the property tax cycle and needs an elected official who is well qualified for that position. I bring those qualifications to the assessor’s office, along with an understanding of fair and equitable assessments. I was appointed assessor in January 2017 and have served Arapahoe County for more than seven years.

My career as an assessor and appraiser extends over 38 years. For the past seven-plus years I have served the Arapahoe County Assessor’s Office as senior commercial appraiser, chief deputy assessor and assessor. In addition to being licensed in Colorado as a Certified General Appraiser, I am professionally designated as an MAI appraiser. Extensive experience and local expertise allows me to effectively lead the assessor’s office and manage the staff of more than 60 employees.

October 11, 2018

ELECTIONS 2018 Has the board of commissioners responded well to population growth in recent years?

What is the biggest challenge facing the county, and how would you approach that challenge?

Our county has worked to balance the services provided by local governments with population growth, developing a regional approach to transportation improvements. Efficient transportation translates into quality of life, safety and cost savings. Arapahoe County commissioners were instrumental in funding road improvements for areas including the Arapahoe Road and I-25 interchange and Arapahoe east of Parker Road. We’ve made budget adjustments to provide for public safety, human services, judicial support, and road and bridge maintenance.

I co-founded a county coalition called “Not One More Child” that works to protect children from abuse and neglect. I support programs to prevent the financial exploitation and abuse of our elderly and ensure the sheriff has sufficient funding. I’ve approved funding to more than double the School Resource Officers in our schools, and I approved funding for a prosecutor and investigator dedicated to combating human trafficking.

Through my experience as a local elected leader, I’ve come to value the importance of listening to citizens, collaborating with all stakeholders and creating opportunities for all citizens to thrive in Arapahoe County. I work across party lines, and I’m known for my honesty, service to community and collaboration. If I continue to collaborate with, listen to and act in the best interest of our citizens, I will consider myself a successful Arapahoe County commissioner.

Overall the Arapahoe Board of County Commissioners has operated in crisis-management mode causing increased costs in the long run. It is less costly to manage problems head on instead of putting off action causing more cost to the taxpayers or deferring it to their grandchildren.

The pace of growth is outpacing the county’s infrastructure, which leads to many understaffed departments including the sheriff’s office and county clerk. We need to expand and rethink how we address mental illness, offering new solutions and programs. It is time to stop the endless cycle of the mentally ill and those with drug addictions going back and forth to jail and help them become productive citizens.

I hope to complete my term with plans and solutions well under way to address the deficiencies of the aging infrastructure, create more effective mental health programs, and seeing that the sheriff’s department, county clerk, and other departments are fully staffed. I hope to see the county moving forward dealing with the tremendous growth.

Do deputies need to be trained to better handle calls related to mental illness?

Should it be easier to take guns out of the hands of people with mental illness who have been deemed a threat to themselves or others?

What must you accomplish to consider yourself a successful commissioner?

What will your top priority be, if elected?

I believe trained law enforcement should have the ability to petition a court with the use of due process to remove weapons from people who have been deemed a threat to themselves or others.

School safety will be my top priority. I will work tirelessly to assist school districts throughout the county to ensure a safe learning environment for students and staff. I am truly passionate about this issue, as it is one that impacts so many people. A partnership between the professionally trained deputies and school district employees is imperative to the academic and social wellbeing of our children of Arapahoe County.

We can always use more and better training and tools to handle calls for service related to mental health issues. However, we have trained our patrol staff in Crisis Intervention Training (CIT), as well as many of our dispatchers and our staff that works in the detention facility. We are also developing a “co-responder” program that will allow for mental health practitioners to handle calls with us and conduct follow-up services when needed.

If someone is an immediate threat to themselves or others, yes. If a person is armed and we take them into custody for a mental health hold, we will take their weapon. However, we’d take any weapon from a person that we take into custody for any reason (a crime, for example). The challenge are those individuals who are becoming an increasing threat to our community, who aren’t getting or responding to services.

We have an aging 32-year-old detention facility that is inefficient and deteriorating. Our staffing in our patrol function must keep up with the increased demand. We must continue our work in helping solve the mental health crisis in our community through programs (co-responders) and training (CIT). As our work is getting more challenging, we must provide the best services and environment possible to ensure our sheriff’s office staff is taken care of, too.

What are the most important traits or skills for an assessor to possess?

What must an effective assessor accomplish?

An assessor must know the nature of real estate and must be of and for the public. The assessor should know the state of technology available to aid and boost the assessments and services to the taxpayers. The assessor must know the methodology of mass assessments of real estate and business personal properties.

The assessor and assessor’s office must be transparent, accountable and fair. The assessor must be efficient and have a high level of integrity. The assessor must have a sense of sympathy and deep understanding of the socio-economic situation of the different communities. The assessor must be elected by the voters and shall not be appointed.

I will bring the data-driven mindset to the assessor’s office. I will be making good use of technology and will improve the online contents which provide detailed information to property owners. The assessor’s office staff will be trained and cross trained for the best delivery to the taxpayers. I will bring every eligible taxpayer into the tax net so everyone pays their fair share of taxes.

Property tax in Colorado is ad valorem (“according to value”) and the assessor’s office is essentially the county’s appraisal office. The assessor starts the property tax cycle by discovering, classifying and valuing all property within the county. Having a professional, licensed appraiser with local expertise and management skills serving as assessor is advantageous to the county. An experienced appraiser will also understand real estate trends, market cycles, and have an appreciation of private property rights.

An effective assessor must thoroughly understand both the appraisal roles and the administrative reporting functions of the office. Final values are reported to taxing authorities via the Certification Report based on tax district boundaries. These values are also reported to the Colorado Division of Property Taxation on a property class basis in the annual Abstract Report. Finally, these values are reported on a parcel basis in the annual Tax Warrant Roll delivered to the treasurer.

My top priority will be to continue producing accurate valuations and meeting all reporting deadlines. Reporting accurate valuations is one of the core functions of the assessor’s office and one that has a direct impact on residents of Arapahoe County, including both property owners and tenants. It is important that the property values be as accurate as possible to appropriately distribute the tax burden while allowing for predictable revenue for schools and other taxing authorities.

The dedicated men and women of the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office are well trained in dealing with many situations to include individuals with mental illness. It is important for law enforcement officers to recognize they may be dealing with an individual with a mental illness. It is my belief we can continually add training to expand our knowledge base, and be progressive in our interaction with people affected by mental illness.

Arapahoe County coroner

I am honored to have served as your clerk and recorder since 2013. I am passionate about my responsibility to administer secure, accessible and accurate elections and protect our right to vote. I’ve been honored to lead statewide innovations and usher in technology to better serve residents, and look forward to building upon our successful record. As a 37-year resident and 11-year employee of Arapahoe County, I remain dedicated to our mission of Service First.

I am the only candidate in this race with experience in management and public administration at city, county and state levels, including planning and overseeing elections, managing budgets, projects and people, and collaborating with legislators and state officials. As clerk, I have led numerous initiatives and committees to make government more efficient and effective. I have built my career in elections and public administration, and hope to continue to use these skills to serve citizens.

I have watched clerks come and go, and they have never improved this office, instead using it as a political stepping stone. With 17 years of experience, I can make a visit to our offices much quicker. Procedural changes and improved training can drastically enhance our customer satisfaction and could have avoided the nearly 50 percent employee turnover rate the last few years. I am seeking this office to make it better, for the people.

This is my career — 17 years of experience. Hundreds of customers per day, all helped with a smile and balancing to the penny. A person can tell you how many committees and boards they have been a part of, but that’s just talk, not work. This is a job! There is work to be done. 17 years of experience right here in my home town — that’s why I am the best choice.

Why are you seeking this office? I am seeking re-election because I believe that this position should be held by a medical doctor who’s board certified to practice forensic pathology; no other person has the necessary medical education or experience in Arapahoe County to successfully run this office in accordance with nationally-recognized standards. The office of coroner should not be about partisan politics; my job as coroner is to respectfully serve the decedents and their families by upholding a medically-based system.

With a highly qualified and dedicated staff, we have collected and distributed nearly $8 billion for Arapahoe County schools, cities, fire, libraries, recreation districts and many others with every distribution being on-time and accurate. We replaced a 30-year old computer system with no down time, under budget and with no negative effects on taxpayers. I would like to continue this record of success.

What are the most important traits or skills for a coroner to possess?

The position of elected coroner is often seen as an outdated relic of colonial times. The coroner’s job is to decide who needs an autopsy and determine cause and manner of death; the forensic pathologist is the person who performs autopsies to make those determinations, and passes that information back to a coroner. Having a pathologist as coroner eliminates a layer of bureaucracy and puts the medical decisions into the hands of trained medical professionals.

The holder of this elected office is not a political figurehead, but rather a working executive who must understand how to administer and plan elections for more than 360,000 voters, oversee major strategic projects in three divisions, and implement new reforms and systems alongside the Legislature and state. The clerk must be poised, professional, collaborative, nonpartisan and strategic.

As chief election official for Arapahoe County, the clerk must seek new processes and technologies to make elections more accessible, trusted and secure. Under my leadership, we have adopted a new, more secure voting system, introduced 21 new 24-hour ballot boxes, added voting locations, and launched a best-in-kind elections website. We also led the state in conducting a risk-limiting audit, which is now a national best practice to verify the accuracy of your vote.

Along with running secure elections, I will continue delivering time-saving solutions, so you can enjoy what’s important to you. In 2017, I led efforts to bring self-service kiosks for license plate renewals to Colorado. It is my goal to expand the services on these machines to driver’s license renewals, tab replacements and more. I will also continue a statewide leadership role to ensure Colorado’s new motor vehicle system works efficiently for our staff and citizens.

The clerk and recorder should be knowledgeable, accurate, personable and meticulous, as well as open, honest, fair and accessible to all persons and political parties.

To be effective, the clerk will succeed in helping the public with their license and recording needs while increasing voter turnout and assuring the integrity of our elections. The clerk should keep up with new technologies and ideas to maintain security and efficiency while being budget-minded.

Properly training all employees, increasing their proficiency. This will retain employees and reduces training costs. Voter registration update at every transaction. This will increase voter turnout and reduce the cost of mailed ballots going to bad addresses. An information center for each office will inform customers what paperwork they need for their specific transaction. This will ease tensions and lower wait times. The elderly, disabled, military and auto dealers need special accommodations for obvious reasons.

What must an effective coroner accomplish? An effective coroner must use knowledge in both medicine and medicolegal death investigation to manage resources in determining appropriateness of autopsy; must knowledgeably and independently answer questions for family members, law enforcement, and attorneys surrounding individual deaths; and must provide information to public health officials and citizens regarding broader categories of death while championing prevention efforts to advance the health of our community.

What are the most important traits or skills for a treasurer to possess? High level financial and management skills are required. The treasurer is responsible for managing a multimillion-dollar investment portfolio. We have invested the taxpayers’ funds with maximum safety while earning a reasonable return through one of the lowest interest rate periods in recent history. But equally important are the treasurer’s customer service skills. I am proud that my office provides first-class service to the citizens and businesses in Arapahoe County.

What have been some of your key accomplishments in the office so far? My key accomplishments include achieving and maintaining national accreditation of the Arapahoe County Coroner’s Office by the National Association of Medical Examiners, representing the gold standard of service to our constituents. Only four coroner’s offices in Colorado, and approximately 75 offices nationwide hold this accreditation. My office has continued to be one of the largest referral offices to organ and tissue donation agencies, and maintains a respected position through collaboration with various community partners.

What will your top priority be, if elected?

What else should voters know about you? I am a Colorado native, obtained my medical doctorate from the University of Colorado School of Medicine, and have over 20 years of experience with the Arapahoe County Coroner’s Office. I hold positions on many local, statewide, and national committees and am a nationally-recognized expert in child death investigation and autopsy.

What must an effective treasurer accomplish?

What will your top priority be, if elected?

In addition to day-to-day oversight of the treasurer’s office, the treasurer should be a leader in the community, willing and able to work with a broad range of individuals, businesses and other organizations. I am proud to serve on several boards, such as Community College of Aurora Foundation, Colorado Public Plan Coalition, Colorado Surplus Asset Fund and Colorado County Treasurer’s Association. My participation allows me to share my expertise, while learning best practices.

My top priority will be to continue to provide outstanding customer service, using the appropriate tools available, while being cost effective and a good steward of taxpayer dollars. An email I recently received from a taxpayer says it all: “Sue, you’re amazing & I am so grateful. Please let me know if there’s a survey I can fill out sharing how excellent you were today with customer service.”

Littleton Ballot Question 7B: fire inclusion BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Ballot question 7B asks whether voters want to see Littleton included within the boundaries of South Metro Fire Rescue, a large consolidated fire protection district. Littleton will dissolve its fire department and begin contracting with South Metro for fire protection

beginning Jan. 1, 2019. Question 7B will determine what happens after 2019. If the question is approved, South Metro will expand its boundaries and fully incorporate Littleton. Inclusion would trigger a change to property taxes: Homeowners in Littleton currently pay a mill levy of 6.662 to the city, which pays for fire protection among other ser-

vices. If the question passes, the city’s mill levy would drop to 2.0 in 2020 and thereafter, but homeowners would begin paying a mill levy of 9.25 directly to South Metro, resulting in a cumulative mill levy of 11.25. The change would increase property taxes by about $10 a month on a residential property worth $370,000, according to city projections.

In return, proponents say, Littleton would receive improved fire service courtesy of a top-flight fire protection agency. If voters reject the measure, the city would continue contracting with South Metro indefinitely anyway, but would pay the difference out of pocket. South Metro would hold successive elections seeking approval for inclusion.

For Arapahoe, not playing was right move

STUDENT-ATHLETE STUDENT ATHLETE SPOTLIGHT

For him, football is a rush

JIM BENTON

Ikaika Gonzalez-bentosino plays football for Englewood High BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Ikaika Gonzalez-bentosino has been pushing for a long time. He is a senior running back for Englewood and is starting to see progress in his fourth season as a member of the Pirates’ football team. Gonzalez-bentosino, a 5-foot-10, 180-pound running back who is a native of Hawaii, rushed for 1,156 yards and averaged 9.2 yards per carry last season and is on track to match those numbers this year. With four shutout wins for Englewood against Class 2A teams, he isn’t getting as many carries

as a year ago. He had just four attempts in a 58-0 win over Riverdale Ridge on Sept. 24, gained 65 yards for a 16.3 per carry average and scored four touchdowns. More importantly the Pirates were 4-1 before an Oct. 5 game against Kent Denver, which matches the most wins in eight seasons for the program. “I’m just trying to push myself and push everybody else, do good in practice and the games,” said the soft-spoken Gonzalezbentosino, who runs track in the spring. “I’d like to get 1,000 rushing yards this season and as a team I just want us to make the state playoffs.”

Have a suggestion for whom to feature in Student-Athlete Spotlight? Email Jim Benton at jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com

Q&A with Gonzalez-bentosino What or who motivates you most to excel in sports? Probably my mom, she gets on me about it. What would be a perfect performance in your sport? A perfect game would be a shutout and just winning the game. What is your favorite class in school and why? I would say English. That’s one of my hardest classes and it just pushes me.

What do you like to do away from sports and school? I usually just work out and I’m a lifeguard. What are your plans after high school? I’m going to try to go to college and probably play football. What do you do to celebrate after winning a game? I just go home, wake up on Saturday and watch college football.

COACH’S TAKE: ‘I don’t care what classification you are talking about, he’s one of the best running backs in the state of Colorado. He’s a special back. We talk about it before every game that goo d backs fall forward. He always falls forward. He’s got a great blend of good feet and also power. He can make you miss and he finishes runs.’ Mike Campbell, Englewood football coach

Key stats | Gonzalez-bentosino has gained 573 yards in five games, averaging 9.2 yards per carry, and has scored 10 touchdowns.

rapahoe High School officials made a tough decision last week. It was the right call to forfeit the school’s football game against rival Cherry Creek after the deaths of two students within three days. Both died by suicide. Football coach OVERTIME Rod Sherman organized a gettogether for students, cheerleaders, poms, dancers and parents at the school the evening of Oct. 5, the same night the Warriors were Jim Benton supposed to play a Metro East League game against Creek at the Stutler Bowl. “I felt like without a game, it was important to fill the void with something else,” Sherman said. A male student died Sept. 29 and a female student died Oct. 2. Both seniors were close to several members of the football team, according to the coach. Warriors coaches met with players on Oct. 1. “Our message to them was this is real. As men we just can’t roll the football out and say suck it up and play,” Sherman said. “That’s not good for them for the rest of their lives. It’s not a good message to teach high school young men to hide your emotions and suppress your feelings. We have to deal with those things. If you’re struggling, you have to talk to someone. There are coaches here for you and there are counselors here for you.” Two days after the Oct. 2 death, the Warriors announced the decision to forfeit the game. “When we made the decision (that) we just can’t play, you saw a weight lifted off the shoulders of the team,” Sherman said. “I have great peace with the decision we made because it was the right decision and the best decision for our students. And high school football is a game that shall pass, but their emotions, their feelings and grieving are important things for them to deal with right now.” Sherman praised Cherry Creek and specifically coach Dave Logan for help when considering the forfeit. Football was the only Arapahoe sport not to play as scheduled. “I talked to two of our (coaches in other sports) and it was hard for their teams to take the field,” Sherman said. “In a sport like football, if you are not into it, prepared and ready to go, you are going to get hurt.” Jim Benton is a sports writer for Colorado Community Media.

Arapahoe’s Caleb Busta hits an approach shot over a pond on the 18th hole on Oct. 2 in the final round of the Class 5A State High School golf tournament held at the Colorado Springs County Club. Busta tied for 10th place with teammate Riley Rottschaefer and Arapahoe finished third in the team standings. JIM BENTON

Arapahoe takes third in 5A state golf tourney Team has played better, but played well enough for event BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Arapahoe finished third on the team leaderboard at Class 5A State Golf Tournament held Oct. 1-2 at the Colorado Springs Country Club. Senior Riley Rottschaefer was happy yet truthful when asked to evaluate how the Warriors played. “We talked about it and realized there were a lot of things we could have done differently,” said Rottschae-

fer. “It’s frustrating because we played not very good and still got third. “We will look back and we’ll be happy about it but we could have definitely played better than we did. We are still going to be happy with a third place in the state of Colorado.” Rottschaefer and Caleb Busta wound up tied for 10th place on the individual leaderboard. Rottschaefer had rounds of 76 and 75 for a 151 tworound total and Busta opened with a 75 and had a final round 76. Jack Tickle, the third-scoring Arapahoe golfer, came in with a 154 with rounds of 78 and 76 on the 7,030-yard course. Chris Jonell, the fourth senior on the team, had scores of 83 and 81.

Colorado Book Award submissions now accepted STAFF REPORT

Submissions are now open for the Colorado Book Awards for books published in 2018 or November or December 2017. Guidelines and entry forms are available at coloradohumanities. submittable.com/submit. The submission deadline is Jan. 7, 2019. Presented by Colorado Humanities & Center for the Book, the Colorado Book Awards celebrate the accomplishments of Colorado’s authors, editors, illustrators and photographers. In their 28th year, the awards are presented in at least 10 categories including anthology/collection, biography, children’s literature, creative nonfiction, fiction, history, nonfiction,

pictorial, poetry and young adult literature. Award selectors and judges also are needed, and volunteers will be the first to read what leading members of Colorado’s book community are creating. Colorado Humanities and Center for the Book seeks applications from a diverse mix of Colorado readers (e.g., scholars, librarians, booksellers, teachers, writers, reviewers and avid readers) from across the state. There are two phases to the adjudication process — selection of finalists occurs from December 2018 to March 1, 2019; and judging of winners occurs in March 2019. To volunteer, complete the application form at coloradohumanities.submittable.com/submit.

King Features Weekly Service

October 8, 2018

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) A colleague might offer to open a door for you professionally. But before you walk through it, be sure this “favor” isn’t attached to an obligation you might find difficult to discharge. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Your creativity, your persistence and your reliability could lead to a major career shift. Be sure to use that other Taurean trait, your practicality, when discussing what the job offers. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) A changing situation might require some adjustments you might not have been prepared to make. However, flexibility in this matter could be the best course to follow at this time. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) You’re in a period of fluctuating moods, which is not unusual for the Moon Child. Your emotions stabilize by the 26th. Meanwhile, try to hold off making major decisions until then. LEO (July 23 to August 22) That keen sense of perception helps you hunt down those minute details that others overlook. And, of course, your Leonine ego will accept the expected praise with good grace. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Be careful not to be confrontational when raising a work-related issue. Better to make a request than a demand. And, of course, be prepared to back up your case with facts.

InspirationColorado.com/OpenHouse LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Your ego might be hurt when a colleague turns down your offer to help. But accept it as a rejection of your offer, not of you. A friend from the past could re-emerge by week’s end. SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) A flow of positive energy turns a work project you didn’t want to do into something you actually love doing. Now, take that attitude into your social, intimate life — and enjoy what follows. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Working hard to meet your professional goals is fine. But don’t neglect your private life, especially where it concerns your more cherished relationships. CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) “Patience” remains the key word in dealing with an emotionally sensitive situation involving a close friend or family member. Help comes your way by week’s end. AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) With new information coming in, it’s a good time to rethink some of your goals without taking suggestions from others, no matter how well-meaning they might be. PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Making progress on your project is relatively easy in the early part of the week. A problem could arise midweek. But all goes swimmingly once it’s resolved. BORN THIS WEEK: Holding fast to your principles, no matter what, inspires others to follow your example.
