GETS ITS PIPELINE

Je co consider new boundaries to balance school size

School closings o the table, but other measures considered

BY MONTE WHALEY MWHALEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

School closures are no longer on the agenda for the Je erson County School District, at least for now. But taking other measures including boundary changes and enrollment caps to help balance populations at school buildings are now a top priority, a Je co School Board member told parents Monday night.

“ ere is not any talk of school closures right now, not at all,” board member Danielle Varda said. “ e superintendent has said she will not be closing high schools, so hopefully that will make you feel good.”

Varda spoke to a small group of parents at a forum hosted by Annie Contractor, a new Je erson County School District Accountability Committee member. Parents

from the seven schools surrounding Standley High School were invited to talk to Varda about issues in the east portion of the Je co District.

Long-term enrollment declines in Je co led the district to close 21 schools since 2021, according to Chalkbeat. Je co’s total enrollment in 2022-23 was 77,078 students, down from more than 86,000 in 2017-18, Chalkbeat states. e district said that their buildings had space to serve 96,000 students, but were only serving 69,0000 in 202223, Chalkbeat said.

Although the spasm of school closures appears over, schools with low enrollment and others bursting at the seams remain a problem, Varda told parents. e district is looking to shift some school boundaries to better balance school populations, Varda said.

“But so far nothing has been recommended, so there is nothing to worry about,” Varda said.

Varda said the district is also looking at implementing enrollment caps at some schools and blocking new families from enrolling their

children at schools at or near 100% enrollment, she said.

Building loyalty

Standley Lake Principal Todd Rago told the parents they need to be more cohesive in developing strategies to build more loyalty to schools in the Standley Lake area.

“(School) choice complicates things…people are going to go where they want to go,” Rago said. “ e vested interest isn’t in my building. It would be nice to get everyone in the same room to share a common goal.”

Contractor said some Standley Lake area parents may still be concerned if their children’s own school is near the enrollment levels of schools that were recently closed.

“School communities have expressed fear that they will be next,” Contractor said.

Contractor said other concerns voiced by Standley Lake parents include:

Parents have expressed concern that they do not have visibility

into how schools are making decisions around Uni ed Improvement Plans, budgets, and school supports such as busing decisions. Families have raised concerns that they learned about safety situations that concerned their child much later, through form emails, and without speci cs, making it hard to trust that their kids are in a safe environment. Parents have expressed trepidation about speaking up on issues they are worried about, citing fears that their children will face retaliation from school adults. Families have raised concerns of seeing bullying themselves without adults intervening and kids reporting an environment where they ae discourage from speaking up. Families are reporting struggles with getting what they need for their students both for students not at grade level and those students seeing low growth but performing above the grade standard. Families in both groups have expressed frustration that their student is not being met where they are.

EPA Launches ‘Energy Star NextGen’ to Identify Homes

The Federal EPA’s Energy Star designation has been around since 1992. Initially, it was applied to appliances that exceeded standard levels of efficiency, but in 1995 the designation started being applied to new homes as a whole.

The Energy Star designation no doubt had the effect of governments and industry beginning to focus on energy efficiency, so a Version 2 with even higher standards was introduced in 2006, and a Version 3 was introduced in 2011.

The first paragraph on the Energy Star website reads as follows: Your home is your place to thrive. By choosing a new ENERGY STAR NextGen certified home or apartment, you can enjoy all the comfort, quality, value, and indoor air quality benefits you’ve come to expect from the ENERGY STAR label — and much more.

That Are More Fully Electrified

With energy efficiency going more and more mainstream, the EPA has now introduced Energy Star NextGen instead of Version 4. As described on www. EnergyStar.gov, the NextGen certification “recognizes homes and apartments equipped with leading-edge, efficient electric technologies and electric vehicle charging capabilities — features that not only improve your lifestyle, but also the health of the planet.”

Energy Star NextGen-certified homes come with Energy Star certified heat pumps for heating and cooling, heat pump water heaters, induction cooktops, and electric vehicle charging capabilities. With national and local building codes now requiring greater energy efficiency, a NextGen-certified home is now only 20% more efficient than homes that are “built to code.”

High-performance windows, a tighter building envelopes and enhanced insulation are also common in this top category of energy efficient housing.

Archive of Past Columns Is Online

Over the past two decades, this column has appeared in local weeklies and the Denver Post, and during that time I’ve written about every conceivable topic related to real estate. You can find and search that archive online at www.JimSmithColumns.com

Many or even most builders have been building “Energy Starcertified” homes since as early as 2002. An estimated 2.7 million homes have been built with that certification, but Thrive Home Buildings is the only Colorado builder I’m aware of that is committed to building and selling homes with the Energy Star NextGen certification.

Here are the advantages spelled out by the Energy Star website for buying a new home with the NextGen certification.

 Lower energy bills. Superior insulation, air sealing, and highly efficient heat pumps help lower your energy bills, while improving comfort and reducing drafts.

 Improved safety and indoor air quality. Electric cooktops and ovens reduce exposure to harmful combustion byproducts — including carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide, and small particulates.

 Peace and quiet. Multi-speed heat pumps run on low most of the time, making them quieter while delivering more consistent temperatures for greater comfort. Ductwork that has been properly sized further reduces noise from the air handler. High levels of insulation make the home quieter by reducing noise from outdoors.

This bi-level home at 11296 W. Kentucky Dr. has been well maintained by the seller. It was painted and walkways replaced in 2006, and a new roof & siding were installed in 2017. The house is white with blue shutters and gutters, and a blue & white garage door was new in 2009. The seller put in a new, energy efficient furnace in 2014 and new acrylic shower and shower doors in 2007. The backyard is mostly flat now (due to the seller rocking the sloping landscape) and completely fenced. There are lilacs on two sides of the house, and an ornamental plum and two purple ash trees are in the backyard. Briarwood Hills is a very quiet, friendly neighborhood. Most of the surrounding homeowners care about their yards, as does this seller. You will find magazine-quality photos and a narrated video tour at www.LakewoodHome.info Call listing agent Jim Swanson at 303-929-2727 to request a showing.

 Increased resale value. High-performance homes sell for significant price premiums compared to typical homes. Energy Star certified and similarly efficient homes enjoy sales price premiums of up to 6%.

 A clean energy future. The electric and hybrid electric technologies in your Energy Star NextGen home will help to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions and climate impact associated with its operation. These benefits will continue to grow as the grid gets cleaner.

Retrofitting a non-Energy Star home to be more energy efficient or even “net zero energy” (meaning all-electric and generating all the electricity needed for the home through solar panels) is something that Golden Real Estate’s broker associates and I are committed to facilitating for our buyer clients. Personally, I am offering a free home energy audit to any buyer who hires me between now and September 30th to purchase an existing home.

A home energy audit involves doing

a blower-door test to locate the various air leaks in a home so that specific steps can be taken to make the home more airtight. All appliances are evaluated and the homeowner is given a road map of different strategies that could be taken. We also have experience recommending all categories of vendors working with homeowners to improve insulation, install higher performance windows and doors, and to replace gas appliances with high-efficiency electric heat pump appliances.

We can help you find the best company to install solar panels, whether roof top or ground-mounted, or even in a distant solar garden, where the electricity you generate is credited to the electric meter in your home, condo or apartment. You don’t need a roof to benefit from solar power!

The company which I have hired for all five of my solar power installations, starting in 2004, is Golden Solar. I don’t ask or receive a referral fee when you act on my recommendation, but the owner, Don Parker, kindly helped me out when I needed a place to park our free moving truck after I sold our office building on South Golden Road. It and our box shed are now parked on his lot on South Golden Road. Thanks, Don! You can reach Don on his cell phone, 720-234-6517. Tell him I said hello!

There’s a Full-Blown Home Insurance Crisis Brewing

I need some help researching this article. If you’re in the insurance industry or have information that can benefit fellow readers, let me hear from you. I’d also like to hear from legislators about possible new laws.

Here’s an email I got from an Estes Park homeowner, Jay Blackwood:

My bank says that in the metro area a single family home may have insurance costs double this year. In the mountains it’s much worse.

Without warning, my condo association in Estes Park was told in January that American Family would drop us on the anniversary of our policy in April. This was due to our high risk of fire and hail. In 44 years we only have had one claim, for hail.

Apparently each insurance company has a secret risk map and decides if a property can

be insured depending on location and tree density.

We spent three months searching for a new policy and were forced to purchase a high risk one. Last year we paid $ 20,000. This year it’s $340,000 for 3/4 of the coverage. That is 17 times as much.

My total HOA fees last year were about $4,000. This year they are $14,000.

Other local condo associations are experiencing similar crises. Some businesses and even a large church are going uninsured. A builder has houses completed which cannot sell because they can’t be insured. Colorado is right behind California in loss of insurance. The State is dragging its feet on this issue. And news media don’t seem to cover it.

Individual horror stories are interesting, but I’ll looking for insights into addressing this problem that I can share in a future ad.

Thornton gets its fresh water pipeline

Larimer adds 83 conditions to approval

BY MONTE WHALEY MWHALEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

e long-awaited and contentious nal 10-mile section of a water pipeline that will feed orton’s growth for the next several years, gained unanimous approval Wednesday night from the Larimer County Commissioners.

e decision to go ahead with ornton’s 1041 permit application came after two public hearings before the commissioners as well as lengthy meetings with Larimer residents about the impacts of the pipeline. Most of the 70-mile pipeline will run through Weld and Adams counties before ending south of ornton.

Larimer County residents and environmentalists worried the pipeline would damage and drain the Poudre River. ornton bought the water rights to the river in 1986 and city o cials say the water they are conveying is already being diverted at a point at the Larimer County canal. No additional diversions will be made once the pipeline is built, ofcials say.

ornton Interim City Manager Brett Henry said the commissioners’ decision signals a bright future for ornton’s further development and more protection for the Poudre River.

“We are immensely pleased that Larimer County has approved our 1041 permit application, representing a pivotal achievement in the ornton Water Project,” Henry said in an emailed statement.

“ is approval enables us to advance with the construction of a crucial water pipeline that will guarantee a sustainable and reliable water supply for our community,” Henry said. “Importantly, it reafrms our commitment to collaborative endeavors aimed at enhancing and safeguarding the Poudre River alongside partners like Poudre Flows and others.”

ornton has engaged in open and constructive dialogues with the local community, demonstrating a commitment to transparency and mutual respect, Henry said.

“Our approach has always been to

not just meet but exceed regulatory and community outreach requirements, ensuring that our plans align with the broader goals of Larimer County and serve as a beacon for how communities can unite over signi cant projects, including water projects,” Henry said.

“As ornton moves forward,” Henry said, “we remain dedicated to minimizing construction impacts and maximizing the ecological and conservation-related bene ts of this project. We are not merely users of the Poudre River; we are deeply invested in its health and resilience. Our future, much like Larimer’s, is inextricably linked to the well-being

and recognizes the sentiment expressed by Larimer County residents for the pump station to be located on private, non-residential property, the city said.

Lists of conditions

e county’s approval of the 1041 permit application comes with 83 conditions. ey include requiring ornton to retain a soil scientist, agronomist or agricultural engineer to help property owners impacted by the construction to protect or reestablish soil health.

orton can also review the alignment of the pipeline by 100 feet on either side if it doesn’t cross a property line, is approved by the property owner, and meets the overall criteria.

“We believe meeting the condition of approval is de nitely achievable,” City of ornton spokesman Todd Barnes said via email. “We agree with the conditions of approval and even provided the language for many of them.”

e Larimer County Planning Commission originally tacked on 75 conditions before voting 5 to 3 to recommend approval for ornton’s permit in April.

e city submitted its rst pipeline plan in 2018, which Larimer County denied a year later, saying the project failed to meet several criteria outlined in the 1041 process.

ornton sued Larimer County over that decision, but a state appeals court in 2022 ruled for the county.

of these critical water resources.”

Working with Larimer residents for a new route for the pipeline produced a new route that is signi cantly di erent than what was proposed in 2018 when Larimer County denied the plan, according to a city of ornton webpage.

e new alignment is 16.6 miles shorter than the previous one and includes a pump station located on private property owned by the Water Supply and Storage Company. e location is just two miles north of the site proposed in 2018, according to the city.

is new location is located further away from residential development

e city then revamped its strategy and began reaching out to Larimer residents to get their opinions on the pipeline before resubmitting its application to Larimer County, Barnes has said.

e result is a new route that is 16.6 miles shorter than the previous one and includes a pump station located on private property owned by the Water Supply and Storage Company. e location is just two miles north of the site proposed in 2018, according to the city.

is new location is located further away from residential development and recognizes the sentiment expressed by Larimer County residents for the pump station to be located on private, non-residential property, the city said.

If the pipeline is built, the city wants to tap into the new water source by 2027. e result would result in the construction of thousands of homes in the city and help address the rising costs of housing, according to the city.

Best of a bad solution

But Save the Poudre and other critics of ornton’s plan say the Poudre River water headed for ornton should remain in the river past Fort Collins. e water would be cooler and healthier than being run through a pipe, said Save the Poudre founder, Gary Wockner.

“We disagree with the Commissioners’ decision and are considering our options,” Wockner said via email ursday. “Using the River

as the conveyance for ornton’s water is a common-sense win-win solution supported by the vast majority of Larimer County residents.”

Larimer County Commissioner Kristin Stephens said Wednesday that the conditions address issues over topsoil, wetlands, air quality, dark skies and migratory birds and helped the pipeline project meet the permit criteria, according to the Coloradoan newspaper.

“ e pipeline that is proposed by ornton is probably the best of what feels like a bad solution,” Stephens said. She added it is shorter, goes through fewer properties and ornton “did a pretty good job interacting with the community.”

She added, according to the Coloradoan, “I wish that was the option, that we could say just, you know, ‘Let’s send it down the river.’

“Because that is what our community wants, and it feels less harmful to our community…We can’t do that.”

Larimer County voted May 8 to let Thornton get water it owns from the Cache La Poudre River, shown, near Fort Collins, and bring it south via a new pipeline.

Voters ready to back Adams 12 bond increase, survey says

Adams 12 sees support for November ballot measures to help students and district buildings

BY MONTE WHALEY MWHALEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Voters seem ready to back two prospective ballot measures in Adams 12 Five Star Schools to fund academic and mental health programs for students as well as bolstering sagging buildings, based on the results of a spring 2024 survey. e survey – conducted by Magellan Strategies from March 20 to

April 7 that 1,738 registered voters within district boundaries answered – found that 44% of those surveyed believe Adams 12 has the nancial resources to provide students with a quality education.

Most respondents – 71 % - also said they would allow the district to increase debt by $830 million, without raising taxes, for school building and upgrades, according to an Adams 12 news release.

e survey data were weighted to represent the demographics of presidential election year turnout within the district, o cials state.

e survey also found a 55% approval rating for an 8.129 mill property tax increase – known as a mill levy override – to fund the expansion of career and technical education

o erings, the hiring and retaining of highly quali ed educators and other programs, the news release states.

District spokeswoman Alicia Stice said the Adams 12 Board of Education has yet to consider adding funding measures to the November 2024 ballot. e board will likely decide in late August, Stice said via email.

e Magellan Strategies survey has a margin of error of +/- 2.34% at the 95 percent con dence interval, the news release states.

e Magellan survey also presented information about why the ballot measures are being considered and then asked respondents if they were more likely to approve the ballot measure.

After learning that some of the

district’s schools have leaking roofs, faulty cooling and heating systems, and dysfunctional plumbing, 75% of respondents indicated they are more likely to approve a ballot measure, according to the news release. 72% of respondents were more likely to approve a ballot measure after it was shared that career and technical education exposes students to different career pathways, but the district has a waitlist with 178 students who want access to those programs, the news release states. When it was shared that the district would like to provide more opportunities for students to build life skills and provide greater access to mental health support, 69% of those surveyed said they are more likely to approve a ballot measure, the district states.

Neighbors grill airport candidates

Three seeking vacant Airport Director job

BY MONTE WHALEY MWHALEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

About 40 neighbors of Rocky Mountain Metropolitan Airport May 2 night heard a trio of candidates for the vacant director’s job quizzed on how they would handle noise complaints, community distrust of the facility and the march toward switching to unleaded fuel for light aircraft.

One of the three – who each offered a wide range of experience in aviation – will replace controversial former director Paul Anslow.

Anslow left in November after critical comments he made about neighbors of the airport were disclosed to

county o cials.  Anslow called people critical of airport operations “nut jobs” and brushed aside their complaints about airport noise.

Anslow’s comments were part of a 2021 transcript given to KUNC News as part of a public records request.

Candidate search

Je erson County hired ADA Consulting to conduct a search for Anslow’s replacement and produced 41 applicants for the roughly $150,000 per year job. e three nalists stated their cases for hiring at a public forum ursday at the airport’s Mt. Evans room at the RMMA main terminal.

Acting Airport Director Stephanie Sorbo – who is also Je erson County’s chief nancial o cer – alluded to the anger some residents have toward the airport, especially when it comes to the noise its piston-pow-

ered aircraft can generate.

Superior and Boulder County have jointly sued Je erson County to limit noise from touch-and-go operations conducted by aircraft at the airport.

“I know there is a lot of distrust in the community right now,” Sorbo told the audience. She asked them to be respectful to the candidates. “It takes a lot of courage to come here.”

Sorbo pointed out that there was a Je erson County Deputy Sheri in attendance and that anyone who was disruptive would be escorted out. As it turned out, little anger was displayed, and no one was forced out of the room.

Candidates speak

Yancy Wood and Karina Drees appeared in person while the third candidate, Erick Alan Dahl appeared virtually. Dahl recently had surgery and cannot travel.

All three said they were somewhat familiar with controversies surrounding the airport. All three said they would make considerable e orts to reach out to the airport’s stakeholders. Using unleaded fuel would be a welcome change at RMMA, all three said.

Dahl has held key positions from Aeronautical Analyst at the National Geospatial Intelligence Agency to Airport Director at St. Louis Downtown Airport, according to his resume.

He said that while he oversees day-to-day operations at RMMA,  he would also be the public face of the facility, Dahl said.

“Really my job is to be an ambassador for the airport,” Dahl said. “It’s important for me to get out there…

whether it’s talking to community groups…or HOAs…and understand the concerns about the airport.”

Drees is President of the Commercial Space ight Federation, a space industry association representing the commercial space industry. Prior to that job, she was CEO and General Manager of Mojave Air & Space Port (MASP), a general aviation airport and licensed spaceport in California. She said she wanted to get back to the on-the-ground management of an airport. “I feel like I am accomplishing something every day as an airport director,” Drees said.

She said in her rst 100 days she would reach out to as many of the airport tenants and neighbors as possible. “What are their concerns and what can we address right now,” Drees said.

Drees said one of her strongest attributes is her honesty. “I am not a very good liar,” she said.

Wood is a retired Army o cer with over 31 years in the aviation industry. He is also a consultant and managed the airport in Ada, Okla, according to his resume.

Wood, a Broom eld resident, said he views the airport from two di erent perspectives.

“I am seeing things both as a pilot and as one of the people living under its tra c pattern,” Wood said. “I just would promise to be a good listener and dive into the issues through transparency and honesty,” he said.

e Je erson County Commissioners were also slated to interview the three candidates. A job o er may be made to one of them within the next week or so, Corbo said.

Rocky Mountain Airport noise panel votes to disband

Westminster voted to keep the Citizen Noise Roundtable alive

BY MONTE WHALEY MWHALEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

An advisory board formed to address noise complaints generated by the Rocky Mountain Metropolitan Airport has been silenced.

Members of the facility’s Community Noise Roundtable voted to pull the plug on the panel ursday night.

e vote was 5-3 with representatives from Boulder County, Superior, Lafayette, Louisville and Broom eld voting to disband the CNR.

Westminster voted to keep the panel alive. is came after a narrow April 29 vote by Westminster city councilors to keep its membership on the CNR.

e CNR was formed in 2020 to give local communities a combined voice objecting to noise generated by the piston-powered aircraft at RMMA, say o cials. But airport neighbors and the panel’s members said little has been done by the airport to adjust its operations.

“I just think the community is fed up,” Superior Mayor Mark Lacis said ursday. “People feel being a member is just a waste of time.”

Superior and Boulder County have led a joint lawsuit against Je erson County over the noise generated by persistent touch-and-go operations at the airport. In the complaint, Superior and Boulder County are asking a district judge to require Je erson County, owner and operator of the Airport, to “abate the public nuisance stemming from piston-engine aircraft conducting touch-and-go operations at the Airport.”

Westminster left the panel in 2022

and then rejoined in 2023. On Monday, city councilors voted 4-3 to stay as members with a majority saying the city should stay to provide a local voice on the CNR.

Lacis said Superior proposed changing the scope of the CNR to make it more e ective in answering issues around airport noise and other environmental concerns. “ ere just didn’t seem to be any appetite for that,” Lacis said.

Acting Airport Manager Stephanie Corbo said about $90,000 will be distributed back to communities who paid membership fees this year into the CNR.

Browsing history at Fort Lupton Heritage Fair

BY BELEN WARD BWARD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

South Platte Valley Historical Society’s 18th annual Heritage Fair brought a historical timeline, from the Vikings to the 1800s, at the historic Fort Lupton Fort May 4.

Ginny White, a volunteer, reenacted the role of a school teacher at the Independent Schoolhouse, which was open from 1875 to 1900 at the Fort.

“It was the classroom back then. en, the school moved between Brighton and Fort Lupton on Road 27, built in a brick building now Wayne’s Electric,” White said.

Volunteers dressed in di erent

periods and sold clothes and items from centuries past. ey also demonstrated weaving, games, swordsmanship, blacksmithing, and carpentry, Revolutionary War military drills, mock combat and played a game of baseball according to 1890 rules.

Families visited the historic trade fort, which had a Wright shop, trade room, and kitchen from 1836 to 1845, and a trapper’s cabin from the 1850s.

Families could also visit the Donelson Homestead House, the home of omas and Laura Aiken Donelson. omas came west to the Colorado in 1859, during the gold rush.

Beth Lopez, Mary Vowell, and John Skaggs wore historical clothing from 1775.

Former Sheri Rick Reigenborn sentenced for forgery

Former sheri avoids jail time over law enforcment training paperwork

BY STAFF REPORT

Former Adams County Sheri Rick Reigenborn won’t face jail time for falsifying records regarding state mandated law enforcement training he did not complete, the Colorado Attorney General’s o ce announced May 2.

Reigenborn pleaded guilty May 2 and was sentenced by a Denver District Court judge for his role in carrying out a scheme to falsify records and claim credit for state-mandated law enforcement training that he did not complete.

Reigenborn was elected as Adams County Sheri in 2018, taking over the position from Michael McIntosh in 2019. He served in the job until 2023, after losing the Democratic primary to challenger Gene Claps in 2022. Claps went to defeat Republican Michael McIntosh and has been sheri since 2023.

Reigenborn pleaded guilty to one count felony forgery and two misdemeanor crimes of second-degree forgery and rst-degree o cial misconduct. He received a 12-month deferred sentence on the felony forgery charge and a concurrent 12-month probation sentence on the misdemeanor charges.

BATHROOM REMODELING DONE RIGHT

As part of a plea agreement, the former sheri will relinquish his state peace o cer certi cation and will no longer be eligible to serve as a peace o cer in Colorado.

He must also write a letter of apology to the men and women of the Adams County Sheri ’s O ce.

“We are committed to ensuring law enforcement integrity and that all law enforcement o cers engage in necessary training,” Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser said in a written statement. “Former Sheri Reigenborn failed to do that, undermined his professional obligations, and broke the law. We are holding him accountable for these actions and sending a message that we take violations of training requirements very seriously.”

Weiser also serves as chair of Colorado Peace O cers Standards and

Training or POST.

Law enforcement o cers in Colorado must complete at least 24 hours of annual in-service training to maintain their status. at includies at least 12 of arrest control, driving, and rearms training.

Law enforcement agencies can lose state funds if their o cers fail to complete that annual training.

Former Adams County Undersheri omas McLallen pleaded guilty and was sentenced in January for his role in the training records fraud scheme. Former Division Chief Michael Bethel faces charges in the case, including felony counts of forgery, attempt to in uence a public servant, conspiracy to commit forgery, and conspiracy to attempt to in uence a public servant. Bethel’s next appearance in court is June 13.

The Larimer County Commissioners approved the permit application for the City of ornton’s major raw water pipeline last week. Since this column is written a week in advance of being published, I am unable to provide any details on this news.

ornton’s Interim City Manager Brett Henry stated, “We are immensely pleased that Larimer County has approved our 1041 permit application, representing pivotal achievement in the ornton Water Project. is approval enables us to advance with the construction of a crucial water pipeline that will guarantee a sustainable and reliable water supply for our community.”

e protracted ght with Larimer County had been going on for ve years since ornton rst submitted their pipeline application to the commissioners. e new submittal was improved by shortening the distance and number of properties that would be a ected in Larimer County. Also, a necessary pumping station would be located on non-residentially owned property - which was important to residents. Clearly, ornton o cials listened and acted on changes Larimer County residents wanted.

e $500 million project is ornton’s lifeline to allowing more new development. Without the delivery of their 14,000 acre-feet of pristine water, their future development would have been totally stymied. It should be noted that the Larimer County Planning Commission voted to recommend approval on a vote of 5-3 but with 83 conditions on the permit. e Larimer County Commissioners were under heavy political pressure to reject the permit by various Larimer County/ Poudre River interest groups but found merit in ornton’s revised e ort.

An alternative to the pipeline would be to bring the water down the Poudre River and take it out below Fort Collins’ wastewater treatment plant. However, the quality of the water would certainly be less than the pipeline option. Plus, a portion of the pipeline has already been constructed elsewhere.

VOICES

Let it flow: Thornton gets its pipeline CROSS

CURRENTS

Now ornton o cials can move ahead with the pipeline as all other approvals from Weld and Adams Counties were previously achieved. Congrats to the ornton City government on this milestone achievement.

May has been busy already e month of May has already been busy and we are only halfway through it. We had May Day, Cinco de Mayo, the end of the State Legislative session and Mother’s Day. Whew!

e State Legislature’s sine die was especially hectic toward the end with several key bills “in the hopper” rushing to beat the midnight May 8 deadline.

As I write this column, key legislation that has been nalized includes the impotent state property tax relief, state mandate on high-density development in transit corridors, auxiliary dwelling units mandate, enacting a “congestion fee” on rental cars to help fund a Front Range passenger rail service, a sales tax ballot question on the passenger rail service, a negotiated deal with oil and gas interests to pay a fee earmarked for rail service and more.

Let’s just say that Governor Polis and his Democrat legislative cohorts should be celebrating. In my book, they achieved a “Grand Slam” on all the important legislative matters they wanted except for a gun control measure prohibiting automatic weapons - which would likely be thrown out by the Trump Supreme Court anyway.

Summarizing the damage done

Obviously, the property tax relief measure and the state usurping home rule decision-making by mandating high-density residential development in transit corridors under the banner of “a ordable housing” are two of the most followed pieces of legislation. e property tax relief was rushed

(which could have been avoided), was underwhelming and failed to meet public expectations. Lawmakers were attempting to compromise with the in uential business group, Colorado Concern, but failed in the end. e non-pro t group has crafted their own version of tax relief via a ballot proposal which is more potent and more appealing to the voting public.

eir plan would reduce property values to 2022 levels, limit annual property tax increase rates to 4% and lower residential and commercial assessment rates. e latter is a key component in calculating property taxes owed. However, such a package would shortfall revenue levels for school districts.

On the so-called “a ordable housing” apartments mandate, you should not expect any overnight construction activity.

First, enabling regulations and policies - which will need to re ect the spirit of HB1313 - must be formulated including the depiction of where the eligible land parcels are located in the Denver metro area

and other limited locations. Interested developers will need to be identi ed and on a case-by-case basis and a determination will be needed to see if the local jurisdiction is willing to go along with the state mandate.

ere is a mountain of details to work out in the implementation of this sweeping mandate. I question if it will really produce much true “affordable housing” or if we will look back on the hype from the Guv and his legislative followers only to conclude it was a well-orchestrated PR stunt.

Speaking of train service

With this major multi-frontal push to get Front Range passenger train service up and running, in my mind, it begs the question of who really wants this expensive capital investment and who will ride it?

We know Governor Polis and many faithful Democrat legislators want it. Plus, environmental interests support it.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Actions don’t match words

Our HD32 representative, Manny Rutinel, says he prioritizes families, but his actions tell a di erent story. He advances the agenda of a small, loud group of extremists, at the expense of the well-being of everyone else. If  mainstream Democrats and Independents knew about his behavior, they’d join me in questioning his positions.

Rep. Rutinel supports bills that call for medically harming genderconfused children, and for interfering with parents’ ability to care for their own kids. Just two examples of the bills he supported this year:

- House Bill 24-1017 “Foster Care Bill of Rights” removes genderconfused children from foster parents if the parents do not provide “gender-a rming care”: puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and surgeries like mastectomies.

- House Bill 24-1039 “Non-Legal Name Changes” requires schools to use a child’s “preferred” name and pronouns, with no parental noti cation. If a child is experiencing gender confusion, why does the state want to keep that information from parents?

Beyond the bills he supported, Rep. Rutinel opposed measures like HB 24-1092, “Minimum Sentence Crimes Against Prostituted Children.” Why? Because adult pedophiles are former victims who should be protected, not punished. Take a look not at what Rep. Rutinel says, but what he does. You’ll nd he’s out of step with your values.

health and criminal justice. Translation? e state manages “clients” with severe mental illness, substance abuse disorders etc., including registered sex o enders.

Two months go by. ere’s no public noti cation or press leakage. Realizing they’re in a pickle City the “politicos” seek to rig public opinion.

On March 12, Heather Geyer, Northglenn City Manager sent out a letter to select households, “To provide ‘transparency’ and dispel concerns the City ‘felt’ it was important to inform surrounding area of this new use…” Two months later?

Parenthetically it’s worth knowing Mayor Meredith Leighty confessed at Northglenn’s April 22 Council meeting that an excruciating time occurred with communications, lengthy meetings, emails, research, legal counsel involvement among and between state representatives, legislators, friends, relatives, the Governor’s O ce, City Council members, etc.

All the politicos had to get their scripted stories straight to say, “We didn’t know!” Elapsed time, two months (57 days).

Jenny Willford covered herself with an impassioned plea to stateinvolved bureaucrats in a letter dated March 18 imploring them to answer bullet-pointed questions. Following suit, ensuring the political doctrine held, Mayor Leighty wrote a very similar letter dated April 1.

Northglenn knew all along Naw. ey knew – they ALL knew. Some long before Northglenn’s City Council, including HD34 State Representative – Jenny Willford − working in Legislature side-by-side with Senator Faith Winter (SD25) – learned early of the Northglenn sites.

e Governor’s Civil and Forensic Mental Health O ce emailed Northglenn’s Police Department on January 16, 2024, notifying them that “clients” would be “reintegrated” in mid-April. NPD immediately contacted the City Manager, who called Mayor Leighty. “Forensic” mental health captures crossovers between mental

ese letters are spear-tips in the management of public minds feeding the obvious myth – “none of us knew!”

Right.

Sitting on the dais April 3 before 350 articulate, vocal, steam-rolled residents, “Willford and Winter” pledged “Late Bill Access” legislation nullifying the state’s preemptive rights removing pedophiles’ harmful e ects too close to churches, schools and playgrounds.

e city now claims victory halting convicted sex o enders-in-residence to two years plus moving the goalposts to 1,000 feet, i.e., 250 feet more – a John Elway touchdown pass.

Calling them “Cowards” for their April 3 actions carries reliable truth. ey ALL knew.

Where did those red, blue and black Colorado license plates come from?

A look at the history of some of the state’s unique plate designs

BY ELLIS ARNOLD

Aubiquitous image in Colorado, the state’s standard license plate features an artsy depiction of white mountains against a green background. So when all-red, all-blue and all-black designs with white letters — without mountains — started popping up in tra c, you

probably took notice.

In 2023, roughly 180,000 vehicles were registered with those seemingly new plates. But the plates actually have roots in the past, and the oncediscontinued designs raise money for people with disabilities.

“ e rst blue-and-white plate was issued in 1914,” the Colorado Division of Motor Vehicles said in a statement, adding: “ e rst year the all-red background with white letters was issued was 1925.”

Colorado’s popular new black plate is modeled after a 1945 design, predating the state’s rst plate design with mountains by about 15 years, according to the state DMV.

Another retro plate that ips the

standard design — instead o ering green mountains and white sky — recently made a return. It, too, generates funds for programs for the disability community.

Colorado’s batch of reissued designs represents just one of the many ways to support a cause or send a message.

“Our choice in license plates reects things we love to do, organizations we support, our service, our hobbies and interests and provides nancial support to these organizations,” DMV Senior Director Electra Bustle said in a news release this year.

Here’s a look at the history of some of Colorado’s unique license plates.

Bringing it back

Colorado rst made available the now-retro-looking plate with green mountains and white sky in 1962, the state DMV said.

Colorado discontinued that plate design in 2000, the division said. Bringing it back was an e ort of a state Senate bill in 2021, a law that requires the state to charge additional fees for those plates and put them in a disability support fund.

State lawmakers in 2022 followed up with state Senate Bill 22-217, a law that allowed Colorado to issue the previously retired designs of all-black, all-red and all-blue backgrounds.

e Colorado Disability Funding Committee receives $25 from the sale of each of those plates, as well as an additional $25 at renewal, the state DMV said.

e DMV does not have historical records that point to the reasons why the state discontinued the black, red and blue plates years ago, the division said.

“Black and white, and whiteand-black color combinations, as well as a host of other color combinations, were used from 1913 through 1958. e nal version of the black-and-white color combination was issued in 1954,” the DMV said in a statement.

Around 1959, the state moved to various versions of green-andwhite license plates, the DMV said.

Colorado rst made available its current standard license plate design of white mountains and green background around 1960, according to the DMV.

Retro plates gain popularity

Now that some old designs are back, they’ve become popular.

Coloradans chose the black plates roughly 170,000 times in 2023, according to a DMV list. About 6,900 vehicles registered with the red plates and about 6,400 with the blue that year, the list said.

“ e black background in particular exceeded original revenue estimates, while the blue and red backgrounds have met estimates,” a state budget document said.

e state made the black, red and blue plates available in January 2023.

Themed plates, including for ethnic groups

e Columbine “Respect Life” design remains popular too, with more than 75,000 vehicles registered with the plates in 2023. Released in 2001, the plate honors the 13 lives lost during the shooting at Columbine High School in 1999, according to the DMV.

(While the plate design was created to recognize the victims of the Columbine tragedy, it does not generate funds for survivors of the shooting, the DMV clari ed.)

Some plates center on ethnic groups. e Italian American heritage plate was created from a state House Bill in 2007.

e American Indian Scholars plate was created from a state Senate Bill in 2005, the DMV said. For that plate, a person must donate $25 to the Rocky Mountain Indian Chamber of Commerce.

And now, a bill to create a plate that supports the Chicana/o community — Americans of Mexican descent — recently passed the state legislature.

After it’s created, a person would become eligible for the plate by providing a certi cate con rming they have made a donation to a nonpro t organization chosen by o cials based on the organization’s provision of services to the Latin American community, according to a summary of the bill on the legislature’s website.

“It speaks to Chicano heritage that is very deep in the state of Colorado,” state Rep. Tim Hernandez has said.

MOA Reopens the Cabinet of Curiosities’ Doors

For most artists, when a work is completed, that’s the end of the creative process. So, when Colorado-based installation artist Lonnie Hanzon had the opportunity to reimagine his “Cabinet of Curiosities and Impossibilities” for the Museum of Outdoor Arts’ (MOA) new location, he knew he was getting a rare treat.

“It’s an honor to be back and thrilling to work with the museum again after all these years,” Hanzon said. “Especially when the piece you’re working on again has so many hundreds of pieces of your work in it.”

e newly updated Cabinet of Curiosities and Impossibilities was unveiled to the public at the MOA’s new location, Marjorie Park at Fiddler’s Green, 6331 S. Fiddler’s Green Circle in Greenwood Village, as part of the La Primavera Festival on April 28. It is now available to explore by guided tour only.

e Cabinet was originally set up at the MOA’s former headquarters in Englewood in 2009. When the museum moved in 2023, Cynthia Madden Leitner, the MOA’s President and Executive Director, knew the Cabinet had to come too.

“One of the things patrons kept asking was what was going to happen to the Cabinet. It’s such a labor of love for us and Lonnie,” said Tim Vacca, Director of Programs & Communications at the MOA. “We talked with

It’s like visiting an old friend.” is permanent exhibit is housed in a new stand-alone building in Marjorie Park and features a vast collection of relics from fairy tales and nursery rhymes. Using these items, Hanzon explores everything early optics and geometry to celestial wonders and the sea.

What really makes this new version special is that Hanzon had a say in designing the entire space.

“It’s not very often you get to control everything, from oor to ceiling,” he said. “It allowed me to truly, truly treat it as a single work of art. It’s a chance to tell a better story.”

In addition to being an art installation, the Cabinet also serves as a creative space for others.

ere is room for di erent artists to display their own works and from May 25 through June 16, it will feature in an immersive theater experience called “Impossible ings,” put on by e Catamounts, a Boulder-based theater company, and Hanzon Studios. It will be a key scene location in

the production, o ering another way to engage with the space.

e aim of the Cabinet is to instill a sense of wonder in the viewer, no matter their age. And if people come away with their own sense of exploration piqued, so much the better.

“It’s a great experiential learning experience, one that is best when shared,” Vacca said. “I’m looking forward to hosting all kinds of groups and students, all of whom will have a great time exploring.”

Strong bones for strong women

An unknown, yet highly common change that women might feel in their journey through life is a di erence in physical strength from a loss of bone density. Also known as osteoporosis, this progressive condition is a decrease in bone mineral density and bone mass with a heightened risk of fractures.

One of the main causes of osteoporosis is aging and menopause. Up to 20% of bone loss in women happens as women age and one in two women above the age of 60 will suffer a fracture in their lifetime from menopausal osteoporosis. Women are at a higher risk of the development of osteoporosis than men be-

Colorado Rockies headed to recordsetting losses

While the Major League Baseball season is only 20 percent in the record books, the fate of our lowly Colorado Rockies is looking quite glum.

With a current record of 8 wins and 27 losses, some prognosticators are predicting the worst season EVER for the Rockies. Some say they could break the current worst-season record for any team on the books. at would be the 1962 New York Mets which won 40 and lost 120 games -the worst MLB record since 1899.

Now, we have our Rockies still wondering “Who is on rst, what is on second and I don’t know who is

I mention this to contrast what recently took place in Westminster. Regarding the survey involving Fire Department re stations and nancing options, city sta worked with the survey rm and then directly sent out the survey to the public. e City council did not have an opportunity to be aware of the survey or give input before it hit social media and the city’s website.

All I will say is…interesting.

Let’s hope the performing arts center survey produces positive responses and the City of ornton will be able to follow through. Why not join Westminster in a joint facility?

Developers plan village atop Wolf Creek Pass

A rare win after nearly 40 years for Texas investors planning Wolf Creek Village

BY JASON BLEVINS THE COLORADO SUN

In the nearly 40 years that a legendary Texas investor spent trying to build a massive village atop Wolf Creek Pass, not a lot went his way.  Until last week.

After almost a quarter century of lawsuits challenging the late Red McCombs’ proposal for a 1,700unit village on 300 remote acres next to Wolf Creek ski area — and three court decisions siding with environmental groups battling the plan — the 10th Circuit U.S. Court

of Appeals in Denver threw out previous rulings and a rmed the Forest Service’s 2019 approval of an access road connecting U.S. 160 with the island of private land.

“We are obviously pleased and feel like this was the right decision,” said Clint Jones, who has worked for the McCombs family on the Wolf Creek Village project since 2008.

Lawsuits have stalked the Wolf Creek Village plan since its inception as McCombs reworked his project, abandoning a plan for a second land swap and focusing on an access road to the inholding of private acreage surrounded by the Rio Grande National Forest. McCombs, who died in 2023, had argued that the 1980 Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act — known as ANILCA — required the Forest Service to provide “adequate

Environmental groups across the West have spent decades arguing that the clause in the act that requires the Forest Service to allow “adequate access” so private landowners can have “reasonable use and enjoyment” of inholdings does not apply outside of Alaska. e legislation protected 104 million acres in Alaska and left about 800,000 acres of private land surrounded by federally protected land. (Environmental groups most recently have sued the White River National Forest over its ANILCA-anchored approval of a 2.4-mile paved access road to a 680-acre inholding above the town of Edwards where developers plan 19 luxury homes.)

e ANILCA ght over the access road is the latest in a decades-long battle. And the issues reach beyond ANILCA. e environmental organizations raise concerns about endangered species, like the Canada lynx, and potential missteps by the Forest Service as it conducted its review of the access road plan

Mark Pearson with the San Juan Citizens Alliance said the environmental groups are studying the federal appeals court decision and have not made any decisions about appealing or seeking a rehearing.

Regardless of any legal action, the Wolf Creek Village plan will require many more years of planning, with the developer needing a permit from the Colorado Department of Transportation to access U.S. 160 and permits from Mineral County.

“ ere are a lot of opportunities for public participation on upcoming decisions that will probably stretch out for quite a long time,” Pearson said. “ ere are enormous physical and structural limitations for a village up there. Is there enough water to support the city they are proposing to build? How are they going to get power up there? All this will require some signi cant planning and public scrutiny.”

Texas investor Red McCombs swapped the Forest Service for 300 acres on Wolf Creek Pass in 1986. The late McCombs envisioned a resort village for 8,000 people on the parcel surrounded by Rio Grande National Forest and bordering the Wolf Creek ski area.

Judges wrote: “Tremendous e ort by the sta of Colorado Community Media to tell the story of housing — the facts, gures and people affected by metro Denver’s housing issues.”

Reporters Nina Joss and McKenna Harford won rst place in the Politics, Feature category for “Shades of Red” in the Douglas County NewsPress, looking at divergent views among south metro area Republicans regarding how to present a uni ed front to voters.

A lot has changed since 1986, when McCombs and other investors rst proposed a village atop Wolf Creek Pass next to the Wolf Creek ski area. e investors proposed a land exchange with the Forest Service, swapping about 1,600 acres in the San Luis Valley for about 300 acres of Forest Service land adjacent to the Wolf Creek ski area in Mineral County.

e sta at the Forest Service who approved the land swap and even the 2019 road access are gone. Same for the elected o cials in Mineral County who supported the village plan nearly 25 years ago.   e initial plans for the Wolf Creek Village called for more than 2,100 condos, hotel rooms and homes for 8,500 people and 225,000 square feet of commercial space. Revised plans scaled back that plan to about 1,700 units.

McCombs, a San Antonio investor, owned hundreds of companies in his lifetime — including radio stations, car dealerships and sports teams including the Denver Nuggets. He was 95 when he died in February 2023. His daughter, Marsha McCombs Shields, has been overseeing the McCombs empire for 20 years.

Jones said he plans to sit down with the McCombs family and discuss the recent ruling.

“I do not know what their position will be for moving forward, but they are very excited that this one impediment that has been there for years has nally been resolved,” Jones said. “ e industry has changed. Circumstances have changed. I do not know what they want to do with the property. Now that we’ve got road access, it opens the door to start studying future possibilities.” is story was printed through a news sharing agreement with e Colorado Sun, a journalist-owned nonpro t based in Denver that covers the state.

University of Denver to make its electricity 100% solar

BY MICHAEL BOOTH THE COLORADO SUN

e University of Denver’s push for national name recognition in sports has proven wildly successful, with another hockey championship in 2024 and top programs in lacrosse, soccer and gymnastics. Now the southeastern Denver anchor is doubling down on becoming a green energy leader for its peers.

DU, with partner Pivot Energy, plans to build enough new solar panels on campus and at dedicated solar farms in surrounding counties to completely o set university electricity use within about three years.

e push to install 23 megawatts of panels dedicated to DU’s energy use is a key part of the institution’s commitment to become net zero in carbon emissions by 2030, said Lynn Bailey, director of energy and sustainability for the southeastern Denver campus.

Next up on the green energy list: cutting way back on natural gas used to heat DU’s buildings and hot water.

counties, over the next two to three years, Bailey said. In most cases, DU will be taking 100% of the power from those far- ung solar arrays, providing Pivot certainty and simplicity among its energy customers.

e solar expansion alone will wipe out half of DU’s remaining carbon footprint as it seeks other projects to meet the 2030 net zero carbon goal.

“We’ve always been trying to gure out other ways to work with DU because we knew they had ambitious greenhouse gas reduction goals,” said Pivot vice president of strategic partnerships Mat Elmore. “It’s been a great match so far.”

Pivot says an added motivation for DU and other institutions who are landlords of large square footage are the Denver and statewide building emissions reductions mandated in recent rule changes. Colorado’s rules seeking greenhouse gas reductions from big buildings require commercial buildings larger than 50,000 square feet to cut building-related emissions by 20% in 2030.  ose rules are now subject to

“ at program is really made for, in my opinion, large campuses or large energy users that just can’t install enough on-site generating capacity to meet their needs” but who have ambitious climate change targets, he said.

Pivot has developed 79 Colorado solar projects producing up to 70.8MW of electricity, with 124 more in the pipeline that would bring on 530MW. Nationally, the company has developed 179MW and has 2,714MW in the pipeline. A megawatt can serve 400 to 1,000 households, depending on the size of the home or apartment and how many appliances are electric.  e number of o -site, net-metered megawatts allowed to come online in a given year is limited, according to Pivot, which says it is the largest solar developer in Colorado.

“Bottom line is we have far more demand than supply for this particular program,” Elmore said.  is story was printed through a news sharing agreement with e Colorado Sun, a journalist-owned nonpro t based in Denver that covers the state.

Colorado approves $24 million for migrant students

BY YESENIA ROBLES CHALKBEAT

A surge of one-time money will reach 85 Colorado school districts — almost half of all districts in the state — this month to help o set costs of an unprecedented number of new students arriving midyear, mainly from South America.

Between October and Feb. 29, Colorado school districts received 8,085 newcomer students spread throughout the state, according to data submitted by the districts to the state.

Colorado lawmakers last month approved the use of $24 million in state funding to help school districts experiencing an in ux of new migrant students this year. Colorado funds schools based on enrollment counts from October. Every year there are some students who leave or enroll in schools after October, and the district’s funding doesn’t get adjusted.

But this school year, district lead-

ers, especially in large districts such as Denver and Aurora, said the number of new students they were receiving after October was much larger than in typical years.

To be eligible for the money, districts had to submit their request, along with a record of their enrollment counts, to the Colorado Department of Education. e department used a formula approved by state lawmakers to gure out how much each district will receive. Nine districts that applied were not eligible for any of the money.

Districts got money in two ways. First, there was a tiered system that gave certain set amounts of money to districts based on how many new arrivals they’ve enrolled between October and Feb. 29. en, districts could also qualify for additional money, on a per student basis — if those new arrivals resulted in net increases in district enrollment.

Of the 85 districts getting money, 39 quali ed for per-student dollars: $4,672.03 for each student, which is

In other cases, districts received many new arrivals, but because of overall declining enrollment, their total student count by February was still lower than it was in October.

e Adams 12 school district, for example, enrolled 374 new arrivals, but because of overall enrollment declines, their total enrollment is down 58 students compared to October. at meant Adams 12 qualied for $550,000 from the tiered system, but did not receive any perstudent amount in addition to that.

Districts will receive their funding allocations this month, though for most, it will serve to reimburse them for money they’ve already spent on hiring extra sta earlier this year.

School district leaders talked

about having to add new classrooms in some schools, requiring more teachers and other support sta .

e Westminster school district is planning to o er some summer programming for newly arrived students. In the Harrison school district in Colorado Springs, a “newcomer committee” is developing a “toolkit for teachers to use.”

“Even though they are just onetime funds, every little bit helps us provide our newcomer students with the support, resources and instruction they need,” Rachel Laufer, assistant superintendent of teaching and learning for the Harrison district, said in an email about the funding.

According to the CDHS, there are 3,448 children and youth living with 2,471 certi ed kinship and foster families today in Colorado.

“We know that people are curious about foster care and want to know more about what it is really like,” said Bradlee. “By sharing these real stories, we hope to inspire more Coloradans to support children and youth who need a temporary safe place to heal while their parents or caregivers work on building skills to help their children thrive.”

Founder of Arvada nonprofit speaking in metro area to raise awareness about orphans in South Sudan

Seeds of South Sudan helps refugee children gain education with goal of rebuilding their native country

BY JANE REUTER JREUTER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

An Arvada-based nonpro t with board members from throughout the metro area aims to help rebuild the world’s newest — and one of its poorest — countries. Seeds of South Sudan helps relocate and educate orphans who face an otherwise bleak future, with the intention that the children return to help rebuild their home country.

“Without help from an organization like ours, these children are stuck in a refugee camp,” said Arvada resident Jill Flateland, a Seeds

volunteer who sponsors children with her husband Byron. “Education is key for allowing them to actually have a life. We o er them an opportunity to become educated, with the goal of giving back to their home country — to be the seeds of South Sudan.”

Group founder Arok Garang, who was one of the Lost Boys of Sudan, will be speaking about his life’s work at several metro area churches in June. As a young man, the United Nations helped Garang move to Colorado from a refugee camp, where he earned an economics degree from the University of Colorado at Denver. He now lives primarily in Kenya, where he oversees a boarding house in which Seeds’ students live.

Each year, Seeds sponsors several South Sudanese orphans from among thousands at the refugee camp. ey then live in the boarding house and attend school.

AUCTION

Seeds’ sponsors pay $150 a month, which covers the cost for a student’s education, lodging, food, clothing and medical expenses. In exchange, they can track their student’s progress, and communicate via letters and Zoom.

Conifer resident and Seeds board member Eileen Steeg learned about the organization in 2023 and sponsored two children who were living in Kenya’s Kakuma Refugee Camp with 150,000 other refugees.

“I realized this was the most meaningful opportunity that had crossed my path since I had retired from teaching in 2018,” she said. “Americans spend so much money per month on fast food and co ee and for a relatively small amount of $150 a month, I could impact and basically save a life. It was an amazing feeling.

“Some of our kids have gone on to university and are in the process of becoming doctors and lawyers,” she added. “We have one young man who is graduating this December with his medical degree. Just imagine if he had stayed in the camp!”

Seeds of South Sudan is closely a liated with Arvada Covenant Church, where volunteers helped Garang form the nonpro t in 2011. Its board includes volunteers from

Conifer, Denver, Littleton, ornton, Westminster and Arvada. South Sudan, which has been independent from Sudan since 2011, is recovering from decades of civil war. Complicating its recovery, it faces ongoing issues with Sudan over oil revenues and land borders, and ghting between government forces and rebel groups.

e con icts and disease have separated families and fed a constant wave of misplaced children, many of whom arrive at refugee camps malnourished, traumatized and alone.

Golden wraps up 4th straight 4A Je co League title

Demons claim 4th straight baseball honors

BY DENNIS PLEUSS

JEFFCO PUBLIC SCHOOLS

GOLDEN — It has become an annual tradition lately for Golden to be awarded the Class 4A Je co League baseball title. e Demons o cially clinched their fourth straight league title Tuesday with a 15-0 victory over Pomona in the last regular-season home game for Golden.

“ is one means a lot,” Golden junior Luca Casali said of another league title. “At the beginning of the season we didn’t want to be the team that lost the streak. We wanted to be a team to keep it going. I’m glad we pulled it o .”

Golden has a 38-3 record in league play over the past four seasons. e Demons wrap up the regular season in their conference nale at Littleton on ursday, May 9.

“ ey set goals for themselves at the beginning of the year,” Golden coach Jackie McBroom said. “ e seniors were super focused. ey didn’t want to be the group to lose the league championship.”

Golden (20-2, 7-1 in league) made quick work of Pomona (516, 1-7). e Demons scored six runs on six hits in the bottom of the rst inning to take a commanding 6-0 lead. Sophomore Brody McBroom —Coach McBroom’s youngest son — had a big 3-run double in the rst inning. “We were able to do it with runners in scoring position today. Which is a big thing,” Coach McBroom said.

Junior Jaydon Stroup ripped a solo home run to push the lead to 7-0 after two innings. Golden sent 13 batters to the plate in the Demons’ 8-run bottom of the third inning to extend the lead to 15-0.

room knocked in a pair of runs with single in the gap.

“It was awesome to have a good approach against a pitcher,” Casali said of the Demons pounding out 13 hits over the three frames. “Instead of trying to yank balls and hit home runs, we are focused on hitting balls the other way and keeping (swings) short.”

On the mound, junior Taden Svendsen only had to throw 28 pitches through three innings to get nine outs. Svendsen didn’t give up a hit and struck out three to pick up his fourth win of the season. Sophomore Tyler Sherrill nished out the game on the hill retiring the side before Golden picked up another league plaque.

e game ended after due to the 15-run mercy rule after four innings.

Casali had a base-clearing 3-run double and Brody McB-

“ is is an interesting group because they show up, but they are really laidback. Sometimes you feel like you need to remind them that this could be a big day,” Coach McBroom said. “We reminded them what was on the line and what they could take care of today. ey went out and did everything they needed to do to make that happen.”

After the regular-season nale against Littleton (7-14, 2-5), the Demons will likely host one of the eight 4A regionals on May 18. Golden is currently No. 2 in the CHSAA Selection & Seeding Index.

“We are o on a good foot heading into playo s,” Casali said. “It gives us the best chance of redemption at state.” e redemption that Casali is referring to is Golden nishing as the 4A state runner-up last year. Severance edged the Demons 1-0 to end the doubleelimination 4A state tournament a year ago.

Fawning, calving season is underway

As spring unfurls its vibrant colors across the picturesque landscapes of Colorado, residents and visitors nd themselves amid a unique phenomenon – the birthing season of many wildlife species.

Among them, mule deer, elk, moose, bighorn sheep and black bears stand out, captivating observers with their majesty. In this season of renewal and growth, these critters undergo a profound transformation – they become caretakers, nurturing new life into existence.

e arrival of spring heralds the onset of fawning and calving season, a time when wildlife gives birth to their young. For many Coloradans, this season brings both wonder and a heightened sense of awareness and responsibility. With human development increasingly encroaching upon wildlife habitats, residents and visitors alike are presented with the unique challenge of cohabitating with these animals while ensuring their safety and well-being.

In communities nestled within the foothills and valleys of Colorado, encounters with young wildlife, especially mule deer fawns and elk calves, are rather common in the months of May and June. ese vulnerable ospring, born with dappled coats that provide natural camou age, evoke a sense of awe among onlookers. Yet, as humans marvel at the beauty of nature’s creations, they must also exercise caution and respect for wildlife boundaries.

Approaching or attempting to interact with fawns and calves can have serious consequences, both for critters and for humans. e temptation to interact with young wildlife is often high among the public, as fawns and calves are found motionless in yards and along trails. ough these young have not been abandoned as many believe – their ability to stay put for long periods of time away from their mothers is a natural defense mechanism to avoid detection by predators. e wildlife experts at Colorado Parks & Wildlife emphasize the importance of maintaining a safe distance and refraining from interfering with the natural processes of these critters.

In recent years, incidents of wellmeaning individuals “rescuing” seemingly abandoned fawns and calves have become increasingly

common. However, Wildlife O cers caution against such interventions, as these actions can lead to the separation of young wildlife from their mothers. Additionally, stress caused by human disturbance can disrupt vital bonding and nursing behaviors between mothers and their ospring. Instead, folks are reminded to observe from a distance and trust the instincts of wildlife to care for their young.

Fawning and calving season also coincides with increased humanwildlife con icts in Colorado’s wildland-urban interface. As development continues to encroach upon wildlife habitat, con icts between wildlife and humans become more frequent. Every spring, Wildlife Ofcers respond to calls about people getting charged, and even trampled, by deer, elk, and moose who react defensively to protect their young. ese incidents are often instigated by humans and/or dogs encroaching on the wildlife’s space, and are easily avoided by observing wildlife from an appropriate distance and keeping dogs on their leashes.

When observing wildlife in any season, but especially in the spring when young are on the landscape, always remember the “rule of thumb.” With an outstretched arm, point a thumb up in the air to make a “thumb’s up” gesture. If you can still see the wildlife around your thumb, you’re too close – back up until your thumb completely covers that critter. Additionally, changes in wildlife behavior in response to human presence means you’re too close – keep an eye out for critters stopping to look at you, ceasing feeding activity, moving away, and/ or pinning their ears back.

Ultimately, the fawning and calving season serves as a poignant reminder of the delicate balance of coexistence between humans and wildlife. By respecting wildlife boundaries and fostering an understanding of the needs of mule deer, elk, and other species, residents of Colorado can ensure the well-being of both wildlife populations and

Adams County 4430 S. Adams County Pkwy. Brighton, CO 80601 (720) 523-6200

These notices shall satisfy two separate but related procedural requirements for activities to be undertaken by Adams County.

REQUEST FOR RELEASE OF FUNDS

On or about June 1, 2024, Adams County will submit a request to the U.S. Department of Hous-

ing & Urban Development (HUD) for the release of HOME Investment Partnerships American Rescue Plan Program (HOME-ARP) funds under Section 3205 of the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021, as amended, to undertake a project known as the Crowne Plaza Navigation Campus for the purpose of creating a non-congregate shelter and homelessness navigation campus at 15500 E 40th Ave, Denver, CO 80239. The City of Aurora is proposing to purchase and rehabilitate the Crown Plaza Hotel using Adams County’s HOME-ARP funds. The project will result in a facility which includes 255 rooms, an industrial kitchen, industrial laundry, congregate space, and space for service providers to perform case management and other services. The total cost of this project is estimated to be $38,491,454. Adams County will contribute up to $3,848,071 in HOME-ARP funding.

FINDING OF NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACT

Adams County has determined that the project will have no significant impact on the human environment. Therefore, an Environmental Impact Statement under the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) is not required. Additional project information is contained in the Environmental Review Record (ERR) on file at 4430 S. Adams County Parkway, Brighton, CO 80601 and may be examined or copied weekdays 8 A.M to 4:30 P.M.

PUBLIC COMMENTS

Any individual, group, or agency may submit written comments on the ERR to Adams County. All comments received by Friday, May 31, 2024, will be considered by Adams County prior to authorizing submission of a request for release of funds. Comments should specify which Notice they are addressing.

ENVIRONMENTAL CERTIFICATION

Adams County certifies to HUD that Emma Pinter in her capacity as Chair of the Board of County Commissioners consents to accept the jurisdiction of the Federal Courts if an action is brought to enforce responsibilities in relation to the environmental review process and that these responsibilities have been satisfied. HUD’s approval of the certification satisfies its responsibilities under NEPA and related laws and authorities and allows Adams County to use Program funds.

OBJECTIONS TO RELEASE OF FUNDS

HUD will accept objections to its release of fund and Adams County’s certification for a period of fifteen days following the anticipated submission date or its actual receipt of the request (whichever is later) only if they are on one of the following bases: (a) the certification was not executed by the Certifying Officer of Adams County; (b) Adams County has omitted a step or failed to make a decision or finding required by HUD regulations at 24 CFR part 58; (c) the grant recipient or other participants in the development process have committed funds, incurred costs or undertaken activities not authorized by 24 CFR Part 58 before approval of a release of funds by HUD; or (d) another Federal agency acting pursuant to 40 CFR Part 1504 has submitted a written finding that the project is unsatisfactory from the standpoint of environmental quality. Objections must be prepared and submitted in accordance with the required procedures (24 CFR Part 58, Sec. 58.76) and shall be addressed to Noemi Ghirghi, CPD Region VIII Director, at CPD_COVID-19OOE-DEN@hud.gov. Potential objectors should contact HUD to verify the actual last day of the objection period.
