OVER THE DEFENDER

Brighton community survey to kick off in March Mailed and online options planned to gauge resident opinions about city matters

BY SCOTT TAYLOR STAYLOR@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Brighton’s community survey in 2021 will come in two phases beginning in March and continuing through May. Representatives from Polco/NRC briefed City Councilors on the plan for the survey at their Feb. 23 meeting.

According to Demema Mann, national engagement director for the consultants the first phase will see the survey mailed to 3,700 residents beginning late in March. According to Mann, 1,200 will receive a paper questionnaire that residents will be asked to fill out and mail back.

Another 2,500 will receive a postcard with an address linking to an online version of the survey.

A second phase begins at the end of April when the online survey link is opened to all residents.

“Once the scientific survey is

wrapping up, we will give you an identical version of the survey that can be shared with the community as a whole,” Mann said. “Those results are tracked separately but it gives all the residents that want to participate a chance to do so. It’s a great community engagement tool and it gives everyone a chance I have their voices heard.”

The consultants will continue accepting surveys through May 10, with results available in June.

A City Council presentation of the results is tentatively set for June 22, Mann said.

“The link is public, it’s interactive and you can post on your website and share it as you need,” Mann said.

In all, the survey will cost Brighton $18,325, which includes mailing the surveys and postcards and Spanish translations, collecting and analyzing the results and presenting them back to the City Council.

Linda Ong, communication specialist for the city, said Brighton usually performs a survey every seven years. They sent out bids for SEE SURVEY, P3

Anythink service delivers library books to kids Library district beginning new box service for young readers

BY STAFF REPORT

Young Anythink Library cardholders can now subscribe to have curated boxes of books mailed to their house twice each month, part of the library district’s new subscription service.

The service is available to Anythink cardholders ages five to 12.

page listed said the service was full but more spaces are being added.

The library district hopes to add service for older patrons later.

The service is one of the many programs the library has started since COVID-19 shut down libraries, schools, churches and stores a year ago. Staffers said it’s a way to provide traditional library services while maintaining social distancing.

Interest in subscription box services has grown over the past few years, with several industries now offering to deliver their products directly to customers. This follows a similar model.

“The Anythink Box is an opportunity for us to bring the magic and wonder of a library visit to

your doorstep,” Anythink Director of Customer Experience Suzanne McGowan said in a written statement. “This past year has brought so much change to children’s lives.

Providing these special deliveries, filled with hand-selected books and surprises, is one way that we can share some joy and delight with kids in our community.”

The service is open to everyone but aimed at families who may not be able to visit the library frequently. Family members are encouraged to fill out a questionnaire for each child when they register that is designed to reveal their interests and the types of books they might enjoy.

The library recommends parents register each child for the service

Library staff will collect and box several books based on those preferences, mailing them to the subscribers. Recipients are encouraged to provide feedback on titles to help tailor their next delivery.

Deliveries will be sent out twice each month and will include surprises and notes from staff. When they are done, the books can be returned to any of the library district’s seven locations in Adams County.

The service is free and available to community members with an Anythink library card. Participants may pause or cancel the service at any time.

Phil M. Daily

Carolyn Nell Swink

September 20, 1925 - February 22, 2021

Philip “Phil” Manford Daily, age 95, of Brighton, Colorado, passed on February 22, 2021.

Phil was born in Akron, Colorado on September 20, 1925 to Harold and Bertha Daily. He was the youngest son of seven children.

Phil grew up in Brush, Colorado during the Great Depression. Upon graduating from High School in 1943, Phil started college in Greeley, Colorado. He enlisted into the service on September 17, 1943.

Phil entered the United States Army Air Corps on December 27, 1943. His desire was pilot or navigator bombardier training.

Depth perception issues prevented pilot training so Phil was trained as a tail gunner of a Boeing B-17G Flying Fortress. As a Staff Sargent, Phil served with the 463rd Bomb Group, 772nd Bomb Squadron of the 15th Air Force. On October, 12, 1944, while on his 25th and final mission, Phil and his flight crew were shot down over Bologna Italy. Phil was captured by German soldiers. SSGT Daily was listed as missing in action. He was marched from Bologna, Italy to Gross Tychow, Poland to a prison camp. He stayed in the camp for over 4 months. In February, 1945, the Russian Offensive threatened to advance on Germany. Phil and other prisoners were ordered to leave the camp on foot. The march of these prisoners was called ‘The Winter March’. While many prisoners of war did not survive the march, Phil was one of the lucky ones. The march spanned 86 days and an estimated 600 miles. Phil was released from captivity May 1945.

Phil received an honorary discharge from the United State Army on December 26, 1945. Seventy two years after being released from the Army, Phil received the Prisoner of War Medal. On February 5, 2019, five Colorado World War II veterans were awarded the Legion d’Honneur (Legion of Honor) Medal from the French government.

Phil was one of the five veterans award the medal.

After being released from the Army, Phil traveled Europe and the United States. Phil then returned to Colorado and enrolled in college. He graduated from the University of Colorado – Denver with a degree in Business. Phil met his wife Jeanette Covello while working as a door-to-door salesman.

Phil and Jeanette married in Denver on January 14, 1951. They moved to Brighton, Colorado in 1955. With help from a dear friend Herman Ginther, Phil started his own business, Daily’s Appliance store. He owned and managed his business for 48 years.

During those years, Phil and Jeanette raised three daughters, Nancy Daily McLean, Janet Daily Adams and Phyllis Daily Rutherford.

Phil and wife Jeanette shared a value of participating in the community. Phil served on the Brighton Fire Department first as a

volunteer fireman for 20 years, then on the Brighton District Board of Retired Fireman for 8 years. He was a member of the Brighton Jaycees, Elks, Appliance Dealers Association and Optimist Club. He became President of the Optimist Club and held the position for over 20 years.

One big Optimist community event was the annual fishing derby. With fishing being a childhood and adult love, the ability to offer this day to families and children of the community was a personal delight and joy for him. Any child who enjoyed fishing around Brighton likely benefited from the work Phil and the Optimist club offered to the community.

On July 28, 2012, Phil received the ‘Community Service Recognition’ in appreciation for outstanding and dedicated volunteer service. Phil was a friend to many in the community. He also serviced many with his caring volunteer services. Phil was also an active member of the Zion Lutheran Church where he served as an usher for many years.

Upon retirement, Phil stayed involved with the family business. He spent time with his family at their Big Elk cabin fishing and enjoying the Big Elk community and events. The rest of the year, Phil enjoyed fishing in Mexico and Alaska, and hunting with friends and family. Phil and his wife Jeanette loved to dance and were always out dancing on Saturday night’s or in the living room dancing to Lawrence Welk. Phil enjoyed traveling with his family. Many good trips and adventures will always be remembered by all. Phil also loved to play cards. He would play with anyone anywhere. The last few years you found Phil hosting poker games once a month at his home.

Phil now reunites with his beautiful wife, Jeanette and grandson, Spencer Potter. Left to remember the wonderful memories of their parents are: Daughters - Nancy (Dick) McLean of Brighton, Janet (Chris) Adams of Golden, Phyllis (Dane) Rutherford of Parker; Grandchildren – Gavin McLean, Jereme (Stacy) Koehler, Richele (Darren Gaschler) Koehler, Rob Adams, Janelle Groce, Jena (Don) Schmidt, Sean (Lori) McLean, Michele (Scotty) Perkin; Great grandchildren – Grayson and Aiden Gaschler, Kaden and Kamden Groce, Ella and Carly Schmidt.

Funeral Services honoring Phil will be on Friday, March 5, 2021, beginning at 11:00 a.m., at Zion Lutheran Church, 1400 Skeel Street, in Brighton, CO. Tabor Funeral Home, Brighton, CO handled arrangements. Share memories and condolences at TaborFuneralHome. com.

Louis Joseph DeCrescentis March 21, 1937 - February 23, 2021

wanted to retire in Pagosa Springs, CO or Glenwood Springs, CO he did not. Instead, he made many short trips to Blackhawk, CO and Central City, CO as a senior citizen.

Louis Joseph DeCrescentis was born March 21, 1937 and died February 23, 2021. He was born in Denver, CO to Louie and Frances DeCrescentis.

Louis graduated from University of Northern Colorado with an Education degree (emphasis in Special Education). He earned a Masters Degree in Education from the University of Denver while teaching and raising his children. Louis taught in public schools for 30 years. He also farmed in Denver and Brighton, CO for over 30 years.

Louis married fellow teacher Esther Blasi in 1963 in her home town of Trinidad, CO. Louis was serious and silly, which made him a valuable teacher. He could make a decent “corny” joke on the fly, and used his considerable creative abilities and patience to connect with both students and fellow teachers. His smile instantly put you at ease.

He enjoyed growing up in North Denver when it was still a close knit rural community. His childhood influenced his interest in hunting and fishing for much of his adult life. Although he often said he

In recent years, he enjoyed solving puzzles, cooking for himself or Emma, watching Italian language television and 1970’s television; and, following the Colorado Rockies.

Lou loved his family, pets, music, and baseball. If you ever dropped off a pregnant cat at his farm you were forgiven. At least some of the kittens found their forever home with him. All people have gifts; his were playing the piano, writing poetry, teaching, and an abundance of kindness.

Sometimes introverted people lead with the best examples. Lou cared for his wife Esther for many years, when she was ill, which is an example of his character, loving nature, and generosity.

Louis is survived by brother Ray DeCrescentis (Hildegarde), children Gina and Joseph (Ruth) and his cherished Granddaughter Emma as well as many nieces, nephews and brothers/sisters in-law.

Parterre metro district plan with $189 million debt limit approved Thornton City Council unanimously approves dramatic increase in debt level for proposed 800-acre development

BY LIAM ADAMS LADAMS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Thornton City Council unanimously passed a plan to finance the construction of Parterre, a proposed 800-acre development in the city’s northeast corner.

Several councilors expressed confusion about technicalities associated with the metro district plan before they all ultimately approved it during a Feb. 23 meeting. Several councilors cited the developers’ seeming trustworthiness as their reason for approving the metro district, a controversial subject in recent Colorado development news.

“The biggest issue for me is that this is the ability to grow that area and to have the area pay for that growth,” said Mayor Jan Kulmann before voting to approve the plan. “We want to make sure we are respecting our past, but we are looking forward to the future.”

Metro districts are governments established — in this case, for a spe-

the 2021 survey, receiving 11 proposals ranging in price from $16,587 to $63,200, favoring Polco/NRC which had the third-lowest bid price.

Ong said city staff thought the company’s survey method would give the best view of Brighton’s characteristics and offered both online and mail-in surveys. Cost was also a factor.

“Only two other firms were at a lower price point, but they were lacking in survey experience and only offered limited survey methods, online or on the phone,” Ong said. “There would be no mailing option.”

The city hired NRC, or the National Research Center to perform the 2014 survey. Since that time, the company merged with Polco.

cific subdivision — that issues debt to repay the developer for building the neighborhood. The revenue to pay off that debt comes from property taxes.

Metro districts are a way for the neighborhood to pay for itself, rather than the city paying for it. Developers, city councilors and even critics agree that districts are good for new subdivisions that need roads and water lines. Currently, unlevel farmland occupies the area where Parterre will go. Its location is north of 144th Avenue, south of 152nd Avenue and west of Quebec St. Once completed in 10 to 20 years, it will house 4,100-plus residential units.

The metro district plan council approved Feb. 23 is an amended version of a plan the city council approved in 2008. The debt issuance limit in the 2008 version was $85 million. The amended plan raised that to $189 million. The main reason for the increase is that construction costs have more than doubled, said Chad Murphy, representative of Hines, the developer. The new plan also included new accountability and transparency measures, as required by new state laws.

Though most experts agree that metro districts aren’t inherently bad, critics argue they can be easy opportunities for abuse. A 2019 Denver Post investigation outlines different ways developers can leverage metro districts to increase their profits.

That’s something Charles Wolfmultiple pages of questions meant to determine how Brighton residents think the city performs on a scale of one to four. Most of those will be standard questions the company uses in community surveys around the country and in Colorado, Mann said.

“Most of the questions on the survey are fixed, as is the wording, and that allows us to provide you with a tried and true survey instrument,” Mann said. “It also allows us to provide benchmark comparisons.”

Mann said the company also provides surveys for Adams County, the town of Erie and the cities of Northglenn, Westminster and Commerce City as well as 45 other communities in Colorado. The company will be able to compare responses to the standard questions across those other communities, comparing Brighton’s resident’s answers.

“That helps us put your results into context, in addition to allowing you to compare trends between 2014 and 2021,” Mann said. “We can let you know if the ratings are higher, lower or similar to other communi-

ersberger, a CPA and president of a local property management company, said he was concerned about with the new Parterre metro district plan.

Wolfersberger spoke at the Feb. 23 public hearing and also sent a letter to the council the same day. “Such an increase (in debt issuance) appears unreasonable and we are not confident that City staff has performed sufficient analysis,” he said in his letter. He also pointed out that Parterre’s debt per acre amount is far higher than the average calculated from six other Thornton-based metro districts.

Wolfersberger also criticized the metro district’s structure and how Parterre will technically have eight smaller metro districts instead of one

big one. Certain technical issues with the structure, “exposes the city to future potential litigation by the residents,” he said in the letter, a point that Murphy disputed in the Feb. 23 meeting.

Though some councilors expressed skepticism about Parterre’s plan during the meeting, many also believed the plan had enough checks and balances. Councilor Angie Bedolla asked Murphy, “Due to the previous metro districts and those who gave it a bad name, would agree that metro districts of today … ensure that you are following the guidelines appropriately?” Murphy responded, “Yes …

True malfeasance in districts today is very rare.”

ties.”

The city will also get the chance to ask custom questions specifically asked by councilors and city staff.

“While most of the survey is fixed and standardized, you will have that half-page of customization and we have been talking with city staff about what questions to include,” Mann said.

In Brighton’s survey, the custom questions being considered would ask how residents rate potential responses to homelessness — with responses including providing temporary shelter, building affordable housing, enforcing camping bans within the city limits, providing health care and community service benefits for the homeless and continuing to fund groups and organizations that provide help for people experiencing homelessness.

Another set of Brighton-specific questions asks residents to rate projects and issues the city faces. These include building a sports facility for organized sports and concerts, promoting downtown businesses, continuing to develop Founders

Plaza, increasing housing options, street improvements and preserving open space.

Councilor Matt Johnston said he is nervous that the survey does not include a phone-in option and said he worries about excluding some residents because they don’t pay attention to surveys they get in the mail.

“My generation is not into mail,” Johnston said. “It’s a distraction, a hated entity by most of the people I know. I’m just scared about what age difference is going to show.”

Mann said the phone surveys have limited impact, according to current survey industry thinking and noted that many Brighton residents have cell phones from other parts of Colorado or other states that would not be included in most Brighton calling lists.

“It would add a lot of expense and would not ultimately be helpful,” Mann said.

But Mann said she’s confident younger residents would respond to the online surveys.

100-years of God’s work Growing from a train car, First Baptist Church celebrates a century

BY BELEN WARD BWARD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The First Baptist Church of Fort Lupton will be celebrating 100-years of worship serving generations of families.

“On March 14th following the regular service, there will be a small event commemorating 100 years of God’s work. A large celebration is planned for later in the year; however because of COVID-19 restrictions a date has not been set, said,” Kenneth Harnet member volunteer.

The church has historical significance with overwhelming commitment and planning by a congregation throughout the decades to continue its tradition of church services and community gatherings.

Baptist chapels in the 1890s were built inside railcars provided by Union Pacific Railroad. Chapel cars were designed differently than passenger rail cars at the time. It was constructed longer in diameter to accommodate living quarters for the minister and families as well as an extra room with an extended area for members to attend the church services.

A Chapel railcar was placed on the side of the train tracks in Fort Lupton in 1921. The community of Fort Lupton named the Chapel car Emmanuel.

“It was the second of six Chapel cars that were built for the American Baptist Publication Society in the 1890s and early 1900s,” said Harnett.

When the Chapel rail car arrived, Rev. Blinzinger and his family came to Fort Lupton to lead the church to preach the gospel message.

Harnett said, “his purpose for coming was to bring the message of God’s love and grace to the families in the town of Fort Lupton and the surrounding area.”

The news spread within the community about the Chapel and over thirty-one members started to attend Sunday Services. On March 13, 1921, is when the First Baptist Church of Fort Lupton was established.

From rail car to foundation The Chapel moved from a rail car to a basement that was purchased on First and Mckinley with the help of a local bank. The basement was dug with shovels and several large horses pulling a slip and it was completed in December of 1921. It was the beginning of 100-years serving decades of members.

For many years the church services were held in the basement. Then in 1934, the upper part of the building was constructed which expanded for more room for Sunday service and a Fellowship Hall. During the school session, it provided extra space for the school to have use of a classroom.

First Baptist Church merged with Crossroad Church-God. The church today at Rollie Avenue and State Highway 52.

The first annual Thanksgiving dinner was held at the church in 1943. Also, the church received money donations to maintain the church’s annual expenses. The farmers who work all year did not receive income for their work until late fall.

“Members had a real joy in getting together, enjoying a meal that brought extra special food prepared by loving hands of good cooks. Hearty laughter could always be heard in the church kitchen,” said Harnett.

The church continued to increase with members after World War II. Also, the Sunday school was growing too. The congregation needed to expand so there was an available house located north of the church. It was purchased for the additional classrooms. With members increasing the church needed more space.

Harnett said, “Three men offered to have an auction to sell whatever the members and others could donate to start a building fund for a new larger church. It was a success. The leaders of the church accepted the proposal but only when a site could be purchased without any debt.”

Every Thanksgiving the building fund continued to grow with money donations. Three years later, the leadership hired an architect to design a building con-

structed with a handicap accessible ramp on a property that was purchased on the corner of Rollie and State Highway 52.

The walls are raised Church member John Martin accepted the contract. Martin’s employee and numerous church members when available helped with the building.

Harnett said there were two notable senior members Artie Schuyler and J.C Warner who were committed to working on the site every day. Warner hired Mr. Spurlin a carpenter who also worked on the construction.

“These men were visible and obvious, both were neither, but it seemed all were sacrificially involved from the oldest to the youngest,” said Harnett.

On June 13, 1976, the first wall was raised and connected to the foundation and on May 1, 1977, it was completed. The congregation had a celebration and parade with the remembrance of the old church and to honor the new church.

Rev. Tom Hiltsley and his wife

Dee moved a time capsule from the old church that was placed into the rock wall of the new church. The time capsule is a metal box containing 100-years of significant documents and artifacts. It’s going to be opened on the church’s hundredth-day celebration.

“The culmination of the construction and the move to the new building was the service of dedication on October 27, 1977,” said Harnett.

The church has continued to grow through the decades offering community services, Sunday school for children, classes for adults, and seniors. Also, they teach vacation bible in summer and holiday programs such as scripture, drama, song, and dance.

As of January of 2012, First Baptist merged with Crossroads Church-God. The church will continue being involved with the community events such as the annual Easter egg hunt, trapper days, free chili day, and the Truck or Treat for Halloween.

A proposed Tibetan Buddhist temple in Westminster hoping to promote peace and harmony is the source of recent tension in the community.

Residents of the surrounding suburban neighborhood expressed concern at a Feb. 16 community meeting about architecture and noise emanating from the meditation center. In response, city staff sought to allay certain concerns and explain the temple wouldn’t be much different than if a Christian church was going there.

Westminster City Council approved a preliminary plan for the Mipham Shedra Tibetan Buddhist Meditation Center in January 2020. The Feb. 16 meeting was an early stage in the approval process for an official development plan for the center to be located at 8200 West 106th Avenue in northwest

Westminster.

The temple would occupy 5.7 acres and would include the center itself, a garden court, prayer wheel wall, deck and parking lot. The center’s mission statement is to, “promote the preservation and practice of Tibetan Buddhism for the benefit of all sentient beings,” said Gyurmed Dorjee, the center’s minister, at the Feb. 16 meeting.

Since the center would be the first of its kind in Westminster, Dorjee and architect Will Gaebler went into more detail about its practices. The prayer wheels, for example, are small chimes mounted on walls that people spin as they walk around the wall.

“When we spin this, we believe those prayers are carried by the wind and spreading everywhere around the universe and benefit all sentient beings,” Dorjee said.

Later in the meeting, though, residents expressed concerns.

They submitted questions and comments beforehand that a city employee read aloud. One question was, “A building with spires on them does not fit into the existing architecture of our neighborhood and thus, does not fit the fabric of our neighborhood. Is it possible

Community Health Network honors Salud CEO

BY STAFF REPORTS

Salud Family Health Centers CEO John Santistevan received the eighth annual Colorado Community Health Network’s Stanley J. Brashear Community Health Gratitude Award during the network’s policy and issues forum.

Brasher, the former CEO of Salud Family Health Centers, is one of CCHN’s founders. The award goes to a CHC executive who has been working at a CHC facility for at least 10 years, has maintained excellent with her or her state and national legislators and does something “extraordinary” as it relates to CCHN’s priorities, according to a statement.

“I first met John during my first couple of weeks at CCHN in 1996. He was an auditor with Clifton Gunderson and presented the audit to me and the board,” said Annette Kowal, CEO and president of CCHN. “He was also auditing Salud, and Jerry knew he needed John for Salud’s CFO and so offered him a job and,

thankfully, John took it.”

Santistevan eventually became Salud’s CEO in 2014.

“John deeply understands the importance of advocacy and building relationships with elected officials,” Kowal added. “He goes above and beyond the call of duty when it comes to reaching out to his elected officials, ensuring they understand what is important to or what is at stake for Salud, their patients, and all Colorado CHCs. “John has formed personal relationships with just about all of his members of Congress and is always ready and willing to be a key contact to one or more policymakers –able to pick up the phone or send a quick text or email about an important issue when asked.”

The press release added Santistevan has been recognized for his advocacy before, including receiving the Betsey K. Cooke Grassroots MVP Award from the National Association of Community Health Centers

not to allow the spire?”

In response, Gaebler and city planner John McConnell explained the spires are part of the community’s religious expression, similar to a cross on a Christian church.

“The elements that we’re proposing on the development have symbolic meaning to them … The intent wasn’t necessarily to conform to an American vernacular style,” Gaebler said.

Other questions and comments from the public were about, as

one person said, “noise pollution” from prayer wheels and chanting.

McConnel said the city doesn’t anticipate there being noise disturbances.

Summarizing the debate playing out in the meeting, city planner Nathan Lawrence said at one point, “It really becomes an issue of trying to find that middle ground of what fits into the neighborhood and what is needed, or almost expected, of a meditation center or a temple structure.”

SPORTS Girls Basketball: Severance’s vaunted offense too much for Riverdale Ridge

BY RYAN DUNN RDUNN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The Severance Silver Knights walloped the Riverdale Ridge Ravens 75-33 at Riverdale Ridge High School on Feb. 26.

Severance’s balanced attack proved to be too much for the Ravens, as the Silver Knights took a 36-18 lead into halftime and never looked back. Four players scored in double digits for the Silver Knights, including junior Kelsey Koza, who recorded a gamehigh 19 points.

Senior guard Thalia Guardiola led the way for the Ravens with 12 points and eight rebounds. The tenaciousyet-undersized Ravens struggled on the glass throughout the game, getting outrebounded 64-25 by the Silver Knights.

Riverdale Ridge Head Coach Tim Jones said the biggest difference in the game was the Raven’s inability to put the ball in the basket for long stretches. The Ravens shot just 13-67 from the field - a lowly 19 percent.

“It’s a tough game when you can’t finish plays,” said Jones. “They’re executing, they’re working their butts off, but at the same time we weren’t putting the ball in the basket so it’s a tough game.”

The loss drops the Ravens to 4-7 (4-5) on the season, while the Silver Knights improve to 7-4 (5-3).

Severance has been a tough out this

season, staying competitive in most of their games and running a bruising offense through junior guard Natalia Puchino, who leads the Silver Knights with 15.9 points per game this season and tallied 17 against Riverdale Ridge. The pick and roll combo of Puchino and junior center Tyne Killip (12 points, ten rebounds) proved to be too much for the Ravens defense, which swarmed persistently on the perimeter but had trouble keeping the Silver Knights out of the paint.

Jones said that he expects his team to compete with bigger teams despite their size deficit. The Ravens play a somewhat position-less style of basketball, with many of their more aggressive guards switching onto opponents’ forwards and centers for long stretches.

“In our league were kind of undersized and we understand that,” said Jones. “But our grit and out speed should make up the difference and today we weren’t there in that regard.”

Jones added that he would like to see the Ravens play with more maturity and patience in the halfcourt going forward, but with such a young team growing pains are to be expected. The Ravens feature only two seniors; Guardiola - who goes to Sky View High School and is playing with Riverdale Ridge due to her school cancelling their basketball season - and power forward/center

Buzzer-beater goes Elizabeth’s way

BY JONATHAN MANESS SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA

BRIGHTON —The Prairie View High School boys basketball team suffered a heartbreaking loss Feb. 27.

The ThunderHawks led for almost the entire game, but a last-second 3-pointer by Jason Weber helped Elizabeth rally to a 54-53 victory.

The Cardinals overcame a 14-point deficit in the third and outscored Prairie View 24-9 in the final 10 minutes of the contest.

“We’ve been relentless all year,” Elizabeth’s coach Aaron Hedman said. “This team does not quit and will fight until the end.”

The Cardinals struggled to contain Prairie View’s fast-paced offense for the first three quarters. So, Hedman had his squad apply more pressure, and the adjustment paid off. PVHS was held to only three baskets and nine points in the final quarter.

“We started to lock it in and got some stops when it counted,” Hedman said. “It really took us nearly all game to get into the flow.”

The contest was a game of runs, with Prairie View striking first.

Sophomore Rashawn Salinas-Johnston got a steal and fast-break basket to open the contest.

Tyson Roberts added a hoop and Xavier Torres hit a trey to give the ThunderHawks an early 7-2 lead.

However, the Cardinals answered back with 10 consecutive points.

Jace Perez scored a pair of baskets and Weber hit a trey to push Elizabeth’s advantage to 12-7.

After a timeout, Prairie View responded in a flurry. Dominic Marrujo hit a 3-pointer, and SalinasJohnston added a layup as the ThunderHawks took a 17-14 advantage to the second.

Roberts and Marrujo hit backto-back treys in the second to push the lead to seven. Elizabeth stayed close as Sam Speicher scored on a putback to cut Prairie View’s lead to 30-25 at halftime.

The first half was so fast-paced that the first foul was not called

until the two-minute mark of the second quarter, and it was an offensive foul. The two squads combined for three free throws in the first half.

Prairie View began to take control of the momentum in the second half. Marrujo hit another 3-pointer, and senior Andrew Theisen added a basket as Prairie View’s lead ballooned to 44-30, forcing Elizabeth to increase its pressure on defense and cut the lead to seven going into the fourth.

That pressure kept Prairie View scoreless for nearly the first two minutes of the fourth. Roberts broke the drought with a putback and SEE PRAIRIE VIEW, P10

League classification moves forward Prairie View stays put for basketball

BY STEVE SMITH SSMITH@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Prairie View High School’s boys and girls basketball teams are going to play in the state’s newest classification starting in 2022.

The Colorado High School

Activities Association’s classification and league organizing committee moved PVHS to the upper tier (based partially on enrollment and recent track record) of schools.

The committee also turned down an appeal to return the ThunderHawks to class 5A. Athletic director Jason Hiumphrey pointed to declining enrollment (1,632 students in 2021), which he said was the result of the newest school in

27J, Riverdale Ridge High School.

“The main reason is the competitiveness of the program,” Humphrey told the virtual CLOC meeting Feb. 18. “We’ve had one winning season in the last four years. We’ve had one playoff win in the girls program. We’re moving into a new league (the Front Range League). Every school will be in the 6A classification.”

Data at the meeting showed the ThunderHawks’ girls team won

48 of its last 97 games. This year, PVHS is 2-5. The boys team, which is 4-4 this season, won 42 of its last 94 games.

“It looks like the kids are competitive,” said CLOC chairman Randy Holman from the Cheyenne Wells School District. “The numbers say the competitiveness is there.”

“The last three years, it’s gone down,” Humphrey said. “We’re hoping to turn that around.”

“It was a close one. We just couldn’t hit enough shots in the paint to close it out,” said BHS coach Rolando Avila. “We battled hard and Jackson Kroll led us in points (he had 21). But Jaxson Asterino really set the tone for us the whole game. He was attacking the paint and finding open guys all night.”

PVHS’ Nelson tabs CSU-Pueblo for next golf, school stop

BY STEVE SMITH SSMITH@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Prairie View’s Jeff Nelson found his new school -- Colorado State University-Pueblo -- had a lot of things working in his favor.

He made his college commitment to the ThunderWolves last week. The letter signing will take place later this spring.

Nelson wanted to play either NCAA Division I or Division II golf.

“They are a highly ranked D2 team and golf has always been my focus,” Nelson said. “The coach, the team and the facilities are all I could ask for. Over the last year, I created a list of goals and college criteria. They fit almost all of them.”

He talked to players, coaches and alumni too. He said those responses followed the same theme .. they liked the college and the coach.

“It is a D-II college with a golf course within walking distance of the campus,” Nelson said. “I found out this is rare while in discussions

with other colleges.”

Nelson competed in several Junior Golf Alliance of Colorado tournaments at Walking Stick Golf Course in Pueblo.

“So I had been to the campus and Walking Stick more than 10 times,” Nelson said. “I was very familiar with the golf and campus layout. I have never been in the classrooms or

dorms.”

After Nelson made his choice, he knew he’d made the right call.

“I had made the college criteria shortlist, and they ended up with the best score in my mind after phone discussions with the coach and other alumni,” Nelson said. “The only item CSU-Pueblo did not check off the list was year-round tropical weather.

“I love to play golf in 90-degree plus heat.”

Recruiting during a pandemic was a strange experience for many highschool athletes, including Nelson.

“It made it very difficult to gain interest. Scholarship opportunities were almost non-existent due to the negative impacts it caused worldwide,” Nelson said. “Due to existing players or seniors being allowed to compete another year on the team, opportunities for freshmen were cut to a minimum.

Visits with the coaching staff were tough, too, because of recommendations to avoid contact, the coaches couldn’t watch him compete and he

couldn’t meet the coaches in person.

“During recruiting, I used Zoom meetings and emails, which was weird. But it worked out. I picked colleges I was interested in and emailed them my resume and letter of interest,” Nelson said.

Nelson drew interest from King University in Bristol, Tennessee, the University of South Carolina-Aiken and Eckerd College in St. Petersburg, Florida, plans to study business management. His goals after college are to play on the Korn-Ferry Tour and then join the PGA tour.

“I am nervous and excited,” he said. “I am nervous because it is new to me and a lot can happen. But I know it will work out well. I am excited for opportunities to come and improvements I will make in myself and helping the team.

“I am grateful for all of the help from my parents, mentors and coaches,” he concluded. “I think I am ready and will do great because of their guidance along the way.”

Eagle Ridge’s Lauridson commits to McPherson

BY RYAN DUNN SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA

Eagle Ridge Academy star point guard Macey Lauridson signed her national letter of intent to play for McPherson College in Kansas on Feb. 18.

Lauridson, a four-year varsity player, leads the Warriors with a career-high 11.5 points per game scoring average.

The McPherson College Bulldogs compete in the NAIA Kansas Collegiate Athletic Conference and are coached

by Josh Nichols.

Warriors head coach Keith Casey came to Eagle Ridge Academy the same year Lauridson did, making her his first four-year player. Casey said that while he is proud of Lauridson for moving on to play at the next level, she will be deeply missed at Eagle Ridge, where she earned the nickname “the

PRAIRIE VIEW FROM PAGE 8

Marrujo hit a trey, but the ThunderHawks’ offense went cold after that. What really hurt Prairie View down the stretch was its inability to capitalize at the charity stripe. They hit only two free throws, and the Cardinals took advantage. Speicher scored seven of his game-high 16 points in the quarter, including a late basket to bring the game within four.

Elizabeth improved to 7-3 overall on the season, while Prairie View

devil” for her tenacious, no-holdsbarred style of play.

“It’s a huge honor,” said Casey. “At the same time, it’s saddening because I dropped to 4-7 overall. Marrujo led PVHS with 12 points, while SalinasJohnston chipped in 10.

The ThunderHawks will finish the season with two league contests against Northglenn, after press time, and Brighton at 4 p.m. Saturday, March 6, at PVHS. Elizabeth has four games remaining, all at home. One is against Sand Creek at 6 p.m. Tuesday, March 2. The Cardinals face Ponderosa at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, March 4, Sierra at 7:30 pm. Friday, March 5, and Mitchell at 3 p.m. Saturday, March 6. Prairie View’s coach, Damien Romero, was not available to comment.

won’t have her here next year. For four years I’ve been calling her ‘my devil.’

I’m losing my devil this year.”

Lauridson’s Eagle Ridge career has not been free of obstacles. She broke her leg three games into her sophomore season but battled back in time to be a part of the Warriors’ playoff run. Last year as a junior, she cut her chin open during a game and had to get medical attention but returned for the game’s closing seconds and led the Warriors to victory.

Persistent on and off the court, Lauridson swiftly brushes off adversity, stating that for her, overcoming injuries are just part of being a team player.

“Going through all of that – breaking my leg and all of that – it was difficult for me,” said Lauridson. “But I knew that I still had to be there for my team, and I had to make sure that they

were doing OK through it. I got over it, and then it was all better.”

Lauridson said she chose to play at McPherson because she believes she will be a good fit in Nichols’ system, and she likes the school’s small class sizes. An accomplished farmer, Lauridson will be able to continue that pursuit in Kansas as well because her family has land in the Sunflower State.

She said farming taught her valuable lessons about working hard and doing things right – values she’s applied to basketball as well. “[Farming] teaches you that you always have to work hard,” said Lauridson. “You have to do things in a certain amount of time, and you have to do them right. If you don’t do them right, something bad could happen. You always have to do what you need to do, and if you can’t, you have to work at it to be better.”

League classification boosts Brighton to top tier CHSAA turns down three BHS appeals

BY STEVE SMITH SSMITH@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Brighton High School’s basketball and football teams will be playing in the newly created 6A classification, starting in 2022.

The Colorado High School Activities Association assigns schools to classifications and leagues every two years. The basis is part student enrollment and part track record in sports programs.

BHS athletic director Lindsey Solano filed three appeals to the move. Two were for the basketball programs.

“We’ve been middle of the road when we’ve competed in the Eastern

Metro Athletic Conference,” Solano told a virtual committee meeting on Feb. 19. BHS is leaving the EMAC for the Front Range League in 2022.

“We’ll definitely grow to the competition level in class 6A. But because we have been middle of the road, a better place for us is in class 5A.” The other was for the football program. The Bulldogs were 1-9 in both 2016 and 2017. Last year, BHS had a 5-1 record and barely missed a playoff berth in Class 4A. Solano said the Bulldogs’ biggest lineman is 240 pounds.

“There is a huge safety factor in jumping two classifications from class 4A to 6A,” Solano told the committee. “Two hundred forty pounds as a sophomore is different from 240 pounds as a senior. There’s the knowledge and mechanics behind how your body works.”

BY ORDER OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS: CLEAR CREEK TRANSIT METROPOLITAN DISTRICT NO. 2 By: /s/ ICENOGLE | SEAVER | POGUE A Professional Corporation Legal Ad No.: BSB333457 Publish In: Brighton Standard Blade Publish On: Wednesday, March 3, 2021 STATE OF COLORADO, ADAMS COUNTY NOTICE OF INTENT TO UNDERTAKE CERTAIN ACTIONS PRAIRIE CORNER METROPOLITAN DISTRICT NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that, pursuant to Section 32-1-207(3)(b), C.R.S., the Board of Directors of Prairie Corner Metropolitan District (the “District”) intends to issue general obligation indebtedness, and undertake certain actions pertaining to the issuance of such debt, pursuant to the Service Plan for Prairie Corner Metropolitan District, approved by the City Council of the City of Brighton on September 1, 2020 (the “Service Plan”).

Section V.B.2 of the Service Plan states, “The maximum term of any Debt issued by the District shall be forty (40) years, and any amount of outstanding principal and/or accrued interest that remains unpaid upon the final maturity date of any Debt shall be deemed to be forever discharged.”

The District believes the intent of this provision is to limit the maturity date of any Debt to no longer than 40 years from the original date of issuance and to require that any unpaid Debt is discharged no later than 40 years from the original date of issuance. Accordingly, the District believes that the maturity date of the Debt can be shorter than 40 years, but if the principal and/or accrued interest of such Debt remains unpaid on the date that is 40 years from the date of issuance of such Debt, then such principal and interest shall be discharged on that date, meaning that the maturity date and the discharge date need not be the same. This interpretation is consistent with Section V.C.1 of the Service Plan which limits the imposition of a Debt Service Mill Levy (as defined in the Service Plan) to no more than 40 years after the date of its initial imposition for the payment of the first issuance of Debt.

Consequently, the District has determined that it is consistent with the intent and purposes of the Service Plan, and is in material compliance with the Service Plan, for the District to issue debt with a stated maturity date that is less than 40 years from the original date of issuance (30 years, for example), and with a discharge date (i.e. the date on which any unpaid principal and/or accrued interest will be forever discharged) that is 40 years from the original date of issuance.

Therefore, the District intends to issue debt with a maturity date that is less than 40 years from the original date of issuance (30 years, for example), with a discharge date that is 40 years from the original date of issuance, and further intends that this Notice constitutes notice to the City Council of the City of Brighton of such intended issuance in accordance with Section 32-1-202(2)(b), C.R.S., to the extent required by the Service Plan.

NOTICE IS FURTHER GIVEN that, pursuant to and in accordance with Section 32-1-207(3)(b), C.R.S., any action to enjoin the above-described activities as a material departure from the Service Plan must be brought within 45 days from publication of this Notice on March 3, 2021, which deadline is April 19, 2021.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Board of Directors of Prairie Corner Metropolitan District, City of Brighton, Colorado has authorized this Notice to be given.
