“These funds filled needs that are simply not filled with traditional budgeting,” said Christy Romano, Fort Lupton events coordinator.

“It bridges the gap between what budget affords for the supplies of each school and what they need. So that’s why the spaghetti dinner is so important.”

Jordan Chacon, an assistant principal at Twombly Elementary School, said, “It’s great to see the community come together for something so great for the kids. It’s appreciated. It’s good to see that we can get back together again to give to the school, help the teachers out and the kids.”

Terrie Asay, the Fort Lupton Police Department’s community service officer, helped organize the spaghetti event to raise funds.

Small community with big hearts Over $8,000 raised for school supplies

BY BELEN WARD BWARD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

With the help of the Fort Lupton community and Weld Re-8 School District sponsors, there is more than $8,000 for school supplies, thanks to the annual Sips and Spaghetti Dinner. The community participated in a raffle, music, sip wine, beer and ate spaghetti.

“We’re so thankful for all the people that helped with the spaghetti dinner. It’s going to be so nice for our kids receiving all of the gifts,” said Alan Kaylor, Weld Re-8 superintendent. “I’m excited, I think with the pandemic, it’s been difficult this year for parents to afford some of these supplies, so it comes at a great time.”

Some of the sponsors that stepped up to the plate included Collison Brewing Co., Wholly Stromboli, the city of Fort Lupton, Greco and Sons, Villano Brothers Farm and Republic National Distributing Co. “Our citizens have always been so generous, especially when the chips are down. They flip them over and make it hit. I’m so grateful to my citizens for helping support the community and supporting the schools. Ultimately, our kids are our future, and why not make them the best they can be?” said Mayor Zo Stieber.

All of the money went directly towards purchasing school supplies for the students this year.

The staff purchased art supplies, sports equipment, musical instruments, backpacks, paper, canyons, pencils and rulers. Laptops were purchased for graduating seniors who are going off to college who

Commerce City returns one to council, reject two tax questions STAFF REPORT

One Commerce City councilor, Oscar Madera, apparently will return to his seat on the council, according to the Adams County Clerk and Recorder’s website Nov. 3.

Madera had 46 percent of the vote (576 votes total) to easily outdistance both his challengers. Lucy Molina had 30 percent (368 votes), and Gene Lefel had 23 percent (284 votes) in the Ward 1 contest.

Voters favored Kristi Douglas and former Mayor Sean Ford in an eightway race for two at-large posts on council.

Douglas had 15 percent of the vote

(2,044 total votes). Ford had 2,015 votes, which amounted to 15 percent of the vote as well. Richard Thompson was close behind with 1,995 votes, or 14.4 percent.

In Ward 3, Rick Davis pulled away from a tight race early in the returns and was holding onto a three percentage point lead over Cassie Ratliff. He had 873 votes (36 percent) to her 799 votes (34 percent). Renee Millard Chacon had 700 votes, or 30 percent of what was cast.

Public facilities Voters resoundingly said no to a pair of Northern Infrastructure General Improvement District ques-

tions on the Nov. 2 ballot.

The margins of defeat for both questions were greater than 3-to-2.

Question 6A was a $10 million property tax for public facilities (including public safety, road work, water main improvements), and 6B was a $295 million bond question for many of the same items that were in 6A. Mayor Benjamin Huseman said the city didn’t do enough to educate voters about what the two measures were meant to do.

“We didn’t put forth enough effort to educate the residents within the (district) or what it was or what those ballot measures would

have allowed us to do,” Huseman said. “And once we referred it to the ballot, we were not able to expend any resources to support the idea.”

He said the city tried to get other Commerce City groups to promote it, but that didn’t work.

“I think there was a lot of confusion going on at that time, between who was promoting the measure, what the district was and how was going to be of benefit,” he said. “I think all the issues got muddled together so residents didn’t have a firm grasp on what we were trying to accomplish. That lead to us not being successful.”

Financial tips for new veterans It’s almost Veterans Day. If you’ve just become a veteran, or will be one soon, you can be proud of your service. But as you leave the structure of the military, you may need to take greater control over some financial aspects of your life.

For starters, you may now be considering purchasing a home. A VA loan could be appropriate, but don’t take out a mortgage so big that you become “house poor.”

Stieber holds on to mayor’s job, narrowly Voters aren’t keen on marijuana tax

BY STEVE SMITH SSMITH@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

One note of caution: Watch out for financial scammers who target veterans with phony offers.

Fort Lupton voters apparently have decided Mayor Zo Stieber should stay in office.

She led challenger Tommy Holton by 18 votes (498-480) as of midafternoon Nov. 4. City Clerk Mari Pena said the 18-vote margin is not enough to warrant a recount. To start that process, the margin has to be one-half of 1 percent of the total votes cast in the election, she said.

The other challenger was present Mayor Pro Tem Shannon Rhoda,

Entering a new phase in your life can be rewarding – and you will enjoy it even more when you get comfortable with your new financial arrangements.

And don’t forget about insurance. You may get health coverage through TRICARE and the Veterans Administration, but you may still want to take advantage of your employer’s plan. And investigate your options for life insurance as well.

to 7 p.m. Election Day. Voters returned Councilors Matt Johnston and Ann Tadeo to the dais, plus they elected former Mayor Jan Pawlowski and newcomer Peter Padilla. In Ward 1, Johnston led challenger Norm Brown by a better than 2-to-1 margin. Johnston had 1,439 votes to Brown’s 696.

Tadeo, Pawlowski and Padilla ran unopposed.

Brighton voters turned down a potential 4 percent tax on the sale

who had 396 votes, or 29 percent.

That wasn’t the only item on the ballot. In Ward 1, Valerie Blackston held a sevenpercentage point lead over Scott Tipton in Steiber results posted Nov. 4.

Blackston had 148 votes to Tipton’s 127. The winner replaces Rhoda on the council.

Former city administrator Claud Hanes was leading in the Ward 2 race (the winner replaces Holton) with 42 percent of the vote (230 votes). Jimmy Dominguez had 174 votes, for 32 percent. Tommy Martinez had 27 percent, or 147 total votes.

In Ward 3, where voters chose two councilors, Carlos Barron had

271 votes (40 percent), while Bruce Fitzgerald had 245 votes (36 percent). Both candidates won their seats. Incumbent Councilor Michael Sanchez lost with 163 votes, or 24 percent of the total.

Voters were narrowly turning down Ballot Issue 2C. The margin was 51 percent against (706) and 49 percent (677) in favor. The measure would have allowed the city to charge a 1.5 percent excise tax on the sale of marijuana and marijuana products. Council agreed to a fee structure for marijuana business applicants during its Nov. 2 meeting.

Pena wasn’t sure if Weld County election officials finished counting all the votes on Nov. 4. She said they have until Wednesday, Nov. 24, to certify the ballot.

No votes for that tax were 4,080 (53 percent) to 3,683 yes votes (47 percent).

According to the secretary of state’s website, voters put Leon Thornton and Ashley Conn on the 27J Schools board of education.

Thornton bested Danielle Jayne by four percentage points. He had 11,015 votes to her 10.234.

Conn beat the incumbent in District 4, Blaine Nickeson, by eight percentage points. Conn had 11,530 votes, while Nickeson had 9,804.

Voters also approved a bond question for elementary schools, two middle schools and a new comprehensive high school. The margin was 52 percent to 48 percent. A school board-approved bond oversight committee will be in charge of keeping an eye on the funds.

The district’s debt will increase by more than $500 million, but it won’t raise 27J’s mill levy, which sits at a shade more than 22 mills.

Voters rejected a tax increase question (an increase of eight mills) to help pay for teacher salaries and ongoing capital needs in the district. The margin was 52 percent to 48 percent.
