Brighton names five finalists for fire chief Two are from Colorado, three from other states BY BELEN WARD BWARD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Candidates for Brighton’s top job in the fire department all agreed that it’s important to have a connection to the community. How they plan to build that connection is where they differed. The five finalists for the fire chief position with the Brighton Fire Rescue District introduced themselves to the community with an Aug. 25 meet and greet at the Brighton Armory. Residents came to meet the finalist and completed a fire chief evaluation form that will be reviewed by the Brighton Fire District board of directors that will make the selection. Board members said they don’t plan on making a decision until mid-September. The city of Brighton is a mixture of the old and the new with a diverse culture. It’s also one of the fastestgrowing cities in the United States. The fire department has served the area since 1888. The district serves a population of more than 55,000 spread out over 150 square miles with five fire stations covering urban and suburban rural areas. Plans to bring to the table Jim Geering recently retired after 35 years as fire chief for the city of Chula Vista, California Fire Department. He started as a firefighter and was promoted to fire chief, a job he held for six years before retirement. “I think there are a couple of things that are facing our department here in Brighton, and growth is one of them. Brighton needs to determine what our response time threshold is, and base our growth on what our response threshold should be. It’s going to determine the timing of our new fire stations and their locations,” said Geering.

“To my knowledge, it has not been done yet. It’s one of the critical things that we need. We also need to establish funding a funding mechanism for a new fire station. The community is going to have certain demands based on the growth, and our fire department had to be ready to meet those demands.” Dennis Light is the fire chief for the city of Prescott, Arizona, a position he’s held since 2014. From 1997 to 2014, he was with the city of Yuma, Arizona’s fire department serving as battalion chief, then assistant chief for 12 years. In his early career, he was a firefighter and deputy fire chief for the U.S. Air force. “The department is in strong leadership right now with the interim chief, Ryan Roberts. I think what I bring to the table is a wealth of experience that perhaps some of my other colleagues don’t necessarily have coming into an organization from the outside. I think it’s more of a wait-and-see approach. Once I get to know folks and see what the

community interests are, it is about becoming part of the communitythe fabric of the community,” said Light. Steve Dawald is the deputy fire chief for the Los Alamos County Fire Department in New Mexico. He’s held that position since 2016. In 1998, he started as a firefighter paramedic and advanced to engineer, then captain from 2005 to 2012, then to battalion chief from 2012 to 2016 before he became deputy fire chief. “I want to take some time to learn about the agency first before making any changes. I don’t think it is good business to come in the door to make any changes without learning the organization,” he said. “I know, there are some holes at the top. We’ve got some reasonable retirements and some folks that have left. It’s going to play a big part in the decision process,” said Dawald. “Are there people on the inside interested in promoting to these positions? Or are we going to have to look towards the outside?” I have a lot to learn.

Roaming charges: Dropped phone foils escape STAFF REPORT

BRIGHTON – It’s a sign of the (technological) times. Weld County sheriff’s deputies arrested a 51-year-old man after they tracked a deputy’s lost cellphone to the bed of the suspect’s pickup truck. Steven Sandoval could face charges of criminal impersonation, criminal mischief, attempting to influence a public servant and eluding. Sheriff’s office spokesman Joe Moylan said all those potential charges are felonies. Sandoval could face a series of misdemeanor counts, too, including resisting arrest,

driving with a revoked license and driving without insurance. Moylan said deputies added a potential extra felony charge of attempting to introduce contraband into the jail during booking. It’s up to the Weld County District Attorney’s Office to make the decision. The arrest happened around 1:15 a.m. Aug. 23 in the 9100 block of Weld County Road 2, west of Brighton, according to deputies. They saw Sandoval driving a white 2000 Chevy pickup truck. Inside the storage lot, Sandoval allegedly told deputies he was his

Brighton opts for pot tax ballot issue STAFF REPORT

Brighton City Council was expected to take up the question of placing a marijuana sales tax question on the November election ballot. Council’s discussion was set for Aug. 31, after press time. If council approves, voters will get to decide whether to OK the tax Nov. 2. According to a city press release, the ballot for marijuana sales would allow for the

sale of retail marijuana and marijuana products within city limits. In addition, the ballot question asks voters if they approve of a 4 percent sales tax on marijuana and marijuana products sold at retail stores in Brighton. City staff estimate that approximately $1.5 million of marijuana sales tax could be collected per year. Revenue from this special sales tax would be used to fund capital projects, such as rec-

reational amenities, according to the press release. No more than 20 percent of the revenues could be spent on administrative costs. Because of the Taxpayers Bill of Rights, the city has to get voter approval to impose the marijuana sales tax. Voters in Fort Lupton approved the sale of medical and retail marijuana in November.

little brother, Anthony. “The deputy pulled up on his cellphone a mugshot of Steven Sandoval, as well as a list of his known tattoos, and was able to confirm the driver was in fact Steven Sandoval,” Moylan said. “While trying to talk Sandoval out of his pickup to take him into custody, the deputy placed his county-issued cellphone on the rail of the truck’s bed.” After that, Moylan said, Sandoval shifted into drive and fled the scene, crashing through a security gate in the process. Not long after the crash, the deputy realized his phone was missing.

City Council ballot set STAFF REPORT

Mayor Greg Mills will have three challengers on November’s ballot. Brighton residents Anass Maksi, Laurie Maier and former councilor Wayne Scott all secured spots on Brighton’s November ballot, challenging Mills for the top job.

“He used his personal cellphone to call another deputy to have him find it using the ‘Find My iPhone app,” Moylan said. “The second deputy was able to locate the cellphone as it traveled west toward Boulder on the E-470 tollway. The phone stopped about 2:47 a.m. at an address in the 4800 block of Jay Road in Boulder.” Moylan said Boulder County sheriff’s deputies were able to arrest Sandoval on Jay Road. The missing cellphone was in the bed of Sandoval’s truck. Sandoval was treated at an area hospital before his arrest. Sandoval is in the Weld County Jail on a $23,000 bond.

Start thinking about your retirement income plan Are you planning on retiring in the next few years? If so, you’ll want to create a retirement income plan. First of all, while you’re still working, look for ways to boost your retirement income, such as increasing your 401(k) contributions. And you might want to explore products that can provide you with a lifetime income stream. You’ll also want to estimate your expenses in retirement, including your health care costs, which can be considerable. And it’s important to review your investment mix. As you near retirement, you may want to lower your portfolio’s risk level. Finally, once you are retired, you’ll need to create a sustainable withdrawal rate from your various retirement accounts. You don’t want to take out too much, too soon, and risk outliving your income. By planning ahead and making the right moves, you’ll feel more confident in your ability to maintain enough income to last throughout your retirement. And that feeling of financial security can help you enjoy an active lifestyle during your years as a retiree.

Adams County opts out of Tri-County mask order BY LIAM ADAMS LADAMS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The Adams County Board of Commissioners voted 3-2 on Tuesday to opt out of a Tri-County Health Department order that requires masks for kids ages 2 to 11 in indoor school and child-care settings. The commissioners’ decision now bestows authority about masks with local school districts and their boards. Most districts in Adams County currently require masks for younger students. After the meeting, spokespeople for Mapleton Public Schools, 27J Schools and Westminster Public Schools said the districts were keeping the current mask guidance. A spokesperson for Adams 12 Five Star Schools said the district was evaluating its current mask guidance and the opt-out decision. The county board meeting was an opportunity for a group of citizens to protest and for commissioners to clarify stances on public health decision-making. Board chairperson Eva Henry and Commissioners Chaz Tedesco and Lynn Baca voted to opt out of the order that Tri-County’s board approved Aug. 17. Commissioners Emma Pinter and Steve O’Dorisio voted against opting out. Prior to the commissioners’ public hearing on Tuesday morning, a group of parents gathered for a rally and prayer outside the Adams County Government Center. The group then made its way to the board chambers. Once the board

meeting began, the commissioners immediately added a resolution to the agenda to opt out of the Tri-County order because the item wasn’t originally on the agenda. Henry formally motioned to approve the resolution for opting out. “County commissioners are not health experts and should not be in the position of making decisions about our residents’ health. That decision should be up to our health department,” she said. Henry said the Tri-County order is inherently flawed because it created the option to opt out, which puts the onus on commissioners. Henry said she still agrees with the intent of the order and supports mask-wearing. When Henry motioned to approve the resolution, the audience cheered in response. Tedesco and Baca echoed Henry. Baca went a step further, though, and said that the current predicament makes a case for Adams County leaving the Tri-County Health Department. Baca said county staff briefed her on the idea in January, but the county had not taken formal action. The board is expected to discuss the idea of leaving Tri-County in October, Baca said. “When we undertake our discussion in October to leave Tri-County Health, I will hold all of us accountable that we go through this transformational change of providing a better health system overall, that we have better leadership,” Baca said. “We have great leadership now, but we just cannot live, and we cannot stand under an opt-out order.”

Pinter felt differently. “They (TriCounty) have made a recommendation, it is our job to take the recommendation of those members of the board of health who quite frankly have put their lives on the line, who have feared for their safety.” Pinter became emotional, especially after seeing that a majority of the board would vote for opting out. Just seconds before the board voted, she said, “I would implore my colleagues to use our authority that we have delegated to Tri-County health and take the recommendation seriously and follow this order, which is designed to protect our children.” Pinter’s comments were met by boos and hisses from audience members. Others made jazz hands — a motion that a leader of the protesters encouraged people to motion early in the meeting as an alternative to shouting out — though that ultimately did not discourage the heckling. Then, after the vote, parents and some local school district students spoke during public comments. Despite the opt out resolution passing, public commenters still chose to criticize the Tri-County order and the commissioners who voted against opting out. “I don’t know what your agenda was, but it certainly wasn’t for them today,” Dixie Easton said to Pinter and O’Dorisio, pointing to a group of students she asked to stand up to make her argument. Adams County is the second after Douglas County to opt out of TriCounty’s order.

27J Schools tests Adams County’s opt out Parents argue to loosen mask restrictions after county’s decision BY LIAM ADAMS LADAMS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The 27J Schools board of education was one of the first school boards in Adams County’s districts to meet after county commissioners voted to opt out the Tri-County Health Department’s mask order for kids ages 2 to 11. The public took advantage of the timing. “I believe that allowing parents the choice to choose for their child whether or not to put a mask on them is the best choice. It is the full decision. We don’t follow what other people tell us, right?” said Jenn Venerable, a former 27J Schools board director, during public comments at the 27J board meeting Aug. 24. “And this district has always been a trailblazer. And the fact that we are not mandated now by Tri-County is a serious blessing because now there is no legal repercussions.” Venerable was one of many public commenters who asked officials in the Brighton-based district to loosen its current restrictions that requires middle and elementary school students to wear masks, especially because the district is no longer subject to the directive from Suncor Air Monitoring Print Ads.pdf Tri-County Health. The district initially didn’t

require all students to wear masks but changed its policy after TriCounty Health issued its mandate Aug. 17. On the morning of Aug. 24, the Adams County Board of Commissioners voted 3-2 to opt out of Tri-County’s order, leaving decisions about masks up to individual school districts. The 27J Schools board meeting was that night. It was the first school board in Adams County to meet since the opt-out decision. “Remember the world tilted on us this morning,” 27J Superintendent Chris Fiedler said in the meeting. The board had not scheduled any action items about masks for the meeting, so it did not make any decisions about the district’s policy. For the time being, the district’s current mask policy will remain in place, Fiedler said. However, that wasn’t the case for one of the district’s charter schools, Belle Creek, which changed its previous mask policy hours after the Adams County commissioners opted out. Belle Creek said it will not require vaccinated students to wear masks, whereas it used to. At the 27J board meeting, an audience member pointed out the fact that Belle Creek changed its policy after Adams County opted out. “They did, and I have an idea as to why they did, although I won’t say it in public,” Fiedler responded. The 27J board limited public comments to 45 minutes, a time filled 2 8/10/21 10:38 PM mostly by mask opponents. “Our family is not afraid of the

Delta variant. We have the Alpha and the Omega,” said one public commenter. Many of the speakers who were critical of the district’s current mask requirement framed their argument as being “pro-choice. A public commenter who is a fourthgrade history teacher in the district said, “I think a lot of us here tonight are to the point of a breaking point where we are sick and tired of people mandating whether we make a choice for our bodies or not, mandating to wear a mask or take a vaccine. It’s a person’s choice.” Not all commenters opposed the district’s policy, and some applauded the board and administrators for following public health expert guidance. A couple also thanked the district for offering medical exemptions for students to not wear masks. Fiedler also encouraged parents to seek out that option if they felt the need to. Fiedler said district staff would evaluate the district’s current mask policy in light of Adams County’s opt out but said a main concern of his is staffing. If too many teachers are out because they contracted COVID-19 due to relaxed mask wearing, the entire system experiences the strain. “That’s the tension,” he said. Mapleton Public Schools, Adams 12 Five Star Schools and Westminster Public Schools have not changed current mask requirements after Adams County’s opt-out decision.

North Metro Fire hosts 9/11 anniversary events SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA

As the 20th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks nears, North Metro Fire Rescue District, Broomfield Police Department, the City and County of Broomfield and the Veterans Museum Broomfield will host a series of events to remember the lives lost and reflect on the lessons learned from the tragedy. Scheduled events begin Sept. 8 and include documentary screenings, a memorial ceremony and other presentations. “It’s important to take time to remember a very pivotal day in our country’s history and honor the legacies of those who were taken from us too soon,” said North Metro Fire Chief David Ramos. “We have an entire generation who grew up with no memory of the 9/11 attacks, and it’s the responsibility of those of us who remember that day to ensure they understand the sacrifice and the legacies and lessons we carry forward.” Close to 3,000 people died during the September 11 attacks in 2001, and hundreds more have died since due to health complications from exposure to toxins at the scene. Of those lives lost, over 400 were firefighters, law enforcement officers and emergency services providers. The commemorations begin at 6:30 p.m. Sept. 8 at the Broomfield Auditorium, 3 Community Park Road in Broomfield with the screening of the documentary “Finding Daylight.”

Fire trucks raise up an American flag over the Broomfield’s Amphitheater and 9/11 FILE PHOTO Memorial for the Metro North Fire’s 2019 commemoration.

Finding Daylight tells the story of two families who lost loved ones in the 9/11 attacks, including the Faughnan family, who reside in Colorado. Through the use of unique artwork and video, the documentary tells the story of how each family journeyed forward from September 11, 2001, and how they overcame grief to find healing and hope. Following the screening, film director Bettina Moss, along with Colorado-based composer, Chris Pilsner, will share insights into the making of the film. They will be joined by members of the Faughnan

family to answer questions from the audience. This event is free to attend, but a reservation through the City’s B-Rex reservation system is required to secure a seat at the screening. RSVP online at bit.ly/ findingdaylight. Memorial ceremony The North Metro 9/11 Memorial Ceremony is scheduled for 9 a.m. Sept. 11 at the Broomfield Amphitheater and 9/11 Memorial, 3 Community Park Road, in Broomfield. This year’s 9/11 Memorial Ceremony will include some special additions to commemorate the

20th anniversary. Remarks will be made by family members of Chris Faughnan, who died when the Twin Towers collapsed, retired New York Fire Department Captain John Fatta, who volunteered countless hours at Ground Zero in the aftermath of the attacks and retired North Metro Fire Chief John O’Hayre and artist Sonny Riviera who spearheaded the creation of Broomfield’s 9/11 Memorial. The ceremony will also include an honor guard procession, flag presentation and ceremonial bell ringing in remembrance of each site attacked on 9/11. Special music will be provided by bagpiper Michael Lancaster and Bugles Across America, and community members are invited to add notes and mementos to a special tribute wall displayed near the memorial throughout the weekend. Following the 9/11 Memorial Ceremony, the Veterans Museum Broomfield will host a Coffee and Conversation event with a presentation by Chaplain (COL, U.S. Army, retired) Andy Meverden on how 9/11 impacted his service in the military and ministry in Afghanistan. That is scheduled for 11 a.m. at the Veterans Museum Broomfield, 12 Garden Center, Broomfield. After the talk, an encore screening of “Finding Daylight” will be shown in the museum’s presentation room downstairs. Seating is limited, so visitors are encouraged to arrive early to secure a seat.

COVID cases rise; doctors frustrated with unvaccinated Delta variant more contagious, hospitals see more patients under 50 BY THELMA GRIMES TGRIMES@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

As the new delta variant of COVID spreads, hospitals and emergency rooms along the Front Range say they are seeing more patients but are not yet overwhelmed. According to the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, as of Aug. 20, ICU beds went from 72% to 80% occupancy over the preceding month. In the Denver metro area, hospital officials say they are handling the uptick well but remain concerned as the new COVID variant is a lot more transmissible. According to UCHealth, after a steady decrease of COVID patients between April and mid-July, cases are steadily rising with more than 200 patients with confirmed or suspected COVID infections being admitted into UCHealth hospitals in Douglas and Adams counties. Dr. Ben Usatch, emergency medicine physician and medical director of the UCHealth Highlands Ranch Hospital Emergency Department, said along with the increasing number of patients, frustration among health-care providers is rising. Usatch said the difference between vaccinated patients with breakthrough COVID and unvaccinated

patients is night and day. Most vaccinated patients come to the ER more out of fear and are quickly released, Usatch said. “Really, we are seeing two flavors of COVID patients,” he said. “The vaccinated have a runny nose, maybe a slight fever and headache. The unvaccinated are ending up in the ICU and deteriorating quickly. The vaccine really does protect from serious disease. It is heart wrenching.” Usatch said besides the delta variant being a lot more contagious, a big change from treating COVID patients from last year is age. Last year, hospitals were treating more patients over 65. This year, most patients coming into emergency rooms are under 50 and unvaccinated, Usatch said. At Sky Ridge Medical Center in Lone Tree, Chief Medical Officer Eric Lung said they are not overwhelmed with patients, but the HealthOne hospital is seeing a steady increase of COVID cases between the ages of 18 and 50. “I wouldn’t say we are inundated with patients at this point. We are managing them well,” he said. “The unvaccinated cases we are treating are a bigger concern. They are more contagious and have a lot more symptoms.” Like Usatch, Lung said it is frustrating to have a vaccine option available but have emergency rooms still filling up with unvaccinated patients. “The only way out of this pandemic is to get vaccinated,” Lung stressed. Dr. Katie Sprinkel, an emergency

room physician with the Medical Center of Aurora, said it is not about the delta variant, but about treating positive COVID cases. “The people we are admitting are the unvaccinated,” she said. “In most cases, the breakthrough vaccinated patients are released. Hospitals across the city are going to keep getting full.” In family medicine, Dr. Anne Jobman, of UCHealth Primary Care in Lone Tree, said general-care physicians have a lot of young adults and children presenting with COVID symptoms. Jobman said she is recommending a lot of her adult patients go to the ER but children with COVID still seem to be handling the virus well. “Delta has definitely become the dominant strain in the positive tests we are seeing,” she said. “Child cases are steadily climbing because it is so much more contagious, which is why we are seeing it in un-

vaccinated and vaccinated patients. The unvaccinated patients who are under 50 are getting very sick.” Jobman said vaccinated patients are getting better quickly, as they would with a common cold. Vaccinated patients are rarely being sent to hospitals for elevated treatment, she said. At Children’s Health Colorado (CHC), Kevin Carney, associate chief medical officer and pediatrics emergency medicine specialist, said there are a lot more concerns for children under 12 as the delta variant spreads. With children under 12 still not eligible for the vaccine, Carney said they are more vulnerable for the highly contagious variant, especially with schools across the metro area starting this month. With CHC facilities in Highland Ranch, Aurora, Centennial, Wheat Ridge, Parker and Broomfield, Carney said officials are not hitting the panic button but remain on alert. “Our cases in children are still average but above our lower numbers,” Carney said. “We are not overwhelmed but reports are showing cases are creeping up on us. As it continues to spread, we just keep recommending wearing masks, get the vaccine if you are eligible and wash hands and toys regularly.” Carney said CHC has no doubt that children should be back in school in person, but precautions should be taken, including wearing masks to protect children who cannot yet get vaccinated.

to calls together. So gaining that cooperative effort, common policies and procedures on how we respond to calls,” he continued. “The collaborative pieces are not just Brighton fire, it’s our north area partners we also have to pay attention to and work collaboratively.” Holger Durre is deputy fire chief for the city of Boulder since 2017. From 2000-2017, he started as a firefighter for the Poudre Fire Authority. He moved up to battalion chief and deputy fire chief. Earlier in his career, he was an EMT for the

Poudre Valley Hospital Ambulance Service. “I’ve learned in my career is you got to understand the facts before you make big decisions. I’m a big believer in using the fire chief as a pivot physician, between the line and your community,” said Durre. “The primary thing is we work directly for that board of directors, with the firefighters and the stakeholders, and if you can’t work with them, then you can’t bring anything to the table. You have to build those relationships. I’ve always heard

that firefighters make decisions at kitchen tables, not conference room tables. So you’ve got to get into those fire stations and build the relationships and understand their concerns. “The other thing is the community expectations,” he continued. “In most communities in the United States, what they want from their fire departments is to get there fast, be skilled, and care about what they do. You have to make sure those people feel that support and meet that community’s expectations. “
