Platte Valley Medical Center partnered with local organizations to begin a community health needs assessment. Its goal is to identify significant health needs in the area and how the center can help. A press statement said the process began with a meeting between medical center staff, Salud Family Health Center, Almost Home Inc., the Brighton Housing Authority, Weld County government officials, the Eagle View Adult Center and other community groups. The topic was changing community needs that developed over the past year. The meeting produced these areas of interest: • Access to health care; • Mental health needs; • Food Insecurity; • Housing insecurity; • Heart and stroke care; and • Diabetes The press statement said the public can share its health experiences and name areas it thinks are the most important. To join, email Peggy Jarrett, regional director of community improvement, at peggy. jareett@sclhealth.org. “Participants need to include their name, phone number, and relationship to the community, and they will receive a follow-up call,” the statement said. All non-profit hospitals in the country conduct these sorts of assessments every three years, and they adopt a community health improvement plan to address priority needs. The press statement said feedback from the community will help PVMC staff determine where SEE NEEDS, P8

Isolation breeds horror for Brighton in ‘Locust Rising’ Actors and film crews center suspense film in quaint neighborhood BY BELEN WARD BWARD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Something horrifying is underway in a quaint neighborhood in Brighton. “I watched over 300 horror movies during the pandemic to keep myself focused on the craft and the genre,” said Justin Adcock, executive producer, screenwriter and an actor in the new horror film centered in Brighton. The title of the film is “Locust Rising.” “It’s an unknown threat terrorizing a suburban neighborhood and its neighbors. So, people have to be very cautious from stepping outside. It could mean the ultimate demise due to this unknown threat, and it’s all about survival,” said director Bill Jack Myers. Sparrow Street Films- American Film and Television Studio specializes in horror films and is the brainchild of Adcock and Myers. “We started Sparrow Street Films Production Co. and are excited to bring the film to Colorado and to bring the spotlight here, to shine bright, and enjoy the experience of the film,” said Myers. Their film draws upon the sense of isolation that became so common during the pandemic. “The residents of the neighborhood are trying to figure out how to survive, and there is hardly any food,” Adcock said. “It has a lot at play with relationships and with everything we went through over this past year in a half with the pandemic and being isolated and trapped. There are a lot of parts into play and the unknown threats terrorizing a suburban neighborhood. There is something eating the neighbors.” Sparrow takes flight Adcock also cast himself in his films. Sparrow Street Films have eight films slated for pre-production and another to go out this year and later on. Adcock’s passion for movies started at a young age, growing up on a farm in Arizona where there was not much to do. He grew up living in the middle of nowhere and 17 miles from the nearest town. “So when VHS came to be, it was

my recreation to rent movies, because we did not have cable where I grew up,” said Adcock. Adcock rented movies -- about three or four a week. He’s especially fond of Hitchcock but liked watching Siskel and Ebert’s “At the Movies” to learn criticism “It was just a hobby growing up in the absence of a lot of other things to out there,” Adcock said. Adcock began as a professional writer, actor and producer and also did theater and film working in Colorado for a while, before taking a hiatus to work in education with the public schools as a special ED teacher. He now works in administration. At a previous school, he met a teacher with some experience in film history and she said her husband, who turned out to be Myers, also was interested in working on films. “We got connected. I thought, ‘I’m not getting any younger and I might as well dust off my old talents and skills and bring them to life with Billy’s visions,’” said Adcock. That was a few years ago. Each has similar interests and ideas of what they wanted to do. Myers had worked on other film sets with friends. “My wife said, ‘I think you should talk to Justin,’ and so we connected and the rest is history,” Myers said. “It’s my first time as a director, and it’s my debut.” Bill Jack Myers is originally from Missouri and lived in Philadelphia for a while. He has lived in Colorado for more than 10 years. His story is similar to Adcock’s on how he got involved with the film. “I’ve just always had a love and a

passion for film, and I grew up in the country as well watching lots of VHS movies, and any chance we got, we would go to the theater and watch the big screen,” said Myers. Sparrow Films joined the Colorado Film and Video Association. Through that network, Adcock and Myers met numerous people and were able to put a crew together. 2022 release? The goal was to try to wrap up the filming by July 18 and then begin post-production. That is when the footage is edited, visual effects are created and added, music is composed and the titles are finalized. “It could take from three months to six months unless things come up before it’s released, so it could be by the end of the year or early next year, “ said Myers. “It’s about timing once it is finished. We want to spend quality time in post to make sure get everything in line. It’s where the magic happens.” Film and production crew Some of the film crew members are well-seasoned and have worked on more than 30 feature films. Others on the crew are working on the film for the first time.

Myers said, “We’ve been blessed to have that opportunity to work with such a talented cast and crew.” Actor Isaac Stackonis is playing the role of Nash in the film, a psychotic sociopathic teenager who worms his way into the main family’s lives during the crazy event. Actor Yvon Crighton plays the role of Hebres, the pregnant wife of Adcock’s character, Cecil . Armand Piecuch is the cinemaphotographer, Dean Hughart is the sound mixer, Emily Hack and Sara Wiechman are production assistants, and Katherine Houston is the art director. Meg Chamberlain is the line producer, production management and in charge of public relations. “I want to give a shout out to the city of Brighton. They have been gracious. We notified the police, the fire department and all the emergency services that we are working on a film in the neighborhood,” Chamberlain said. “They said, ‘No worries. You guys are so contained, and we’ll make sure on the days when you’re not inside the house, we will drive by and give the neighbors a sense of security that people aren’t actually dying, “ said Chamberlain, humorously.

Weld County debuts ‘Legacy Trail’ The trail extends biking, walking trail into St. Vrain State park BY BELEN WARD BWARD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Weld County celebrated the opening of a new recreational trail, the Weld Legacy Trail July 17, according to a press release. “I’m excited for the opening of the Weld Legacy Trail and even more excited for the public to enjoy it,” Weld County Commissioner Scott James said. “The fact that this trail is Weld County’s first multi-use trail and that it extends into St. Vrain State Park makes it even more unique and adds to the recreational opportunities available to our residents. The trail starts behind the South West Service Complex at 4209 Weld County Road 24½ in Firestone, and it extends into St. Vrain State Park. It’s a paved trail for biking, running, or walking with lush foliage, flowers and rolling hills. It took years of planning the landscape by the Weld County Department of

is an 802-foot section of the trail that was moved away from a nearby spillway which includes an 82-foot long pedestrian bridge. “Weld County is widely known for agriculture and oil and gas. But there are

also plenty of recreational opportunities in our county, with St. Vrain State Park and the Pawnee National Grassland in our boundary,” said Weld County Commissioner Lori Saine in the statement. “The improve-

ments made to this trail provide an additional option for people looking to experience Weld County in a new way, which is exciting.” According to officials, the trail was designed along the Front Range to connect surrounding communities. In early 2000, the property was closed to the public fbecause the land was being used as an active gravel mine. Then Central Colorado Water Conservancy District purchased the land in 2017 for iwater storage. The county held its right-of-way agreement to build the gravel pits for its water storage as well as continue to design the recreational trail. “This trail personifies the 20-plus year partnership between CCWCD and Weld County in this location,” said Randy Ray, executive director of CCWCD, in the statement. “We are excited to participate as a partner with Weld County to provide public access to this new recreational feature in the county.” St. Vrain State Park has been involved in the progress of the trail and also opened the trail in 2018 and 2019 for “Bike to Work Day,” according to Weld County officials.

Colorado wildfires are year-round danger Hotter, drier climate influences how and when fires ignite BY THELMA GRIMES TGRIMES@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

State climate experts and local fire officials along the Front Range say wildfire season no longer has an end as heat, low moisture and other factors have created a year-round problem. Russ Schumacher, the Colorado state climatologist, and director of the Colorado Climate Center, said 2020 was the worst year on record for wildfires, rewriting record books on what kind of fires can happen and when. In the past, wildfire season was generally contained to the hottest part of summer in July and into August. Now, Inter-Canyon Fire Protection District Chief Daniel Hatlestad said, wildfires are a 12-month priority. The Inter-Canyon Fire District ecovers 52 square miles in Jefferson County. “We are seeing these fires spread, and spread quickly every month of the year,” Hatlestad said. “The fuel load across the Front Range has created more intense, frequent and longer-burning fires. There is no longer a change of approach to prepare for wildfire season because there is no season.”

Firefighters from South Metro Fire Rescue Brush 33, based in Centennial, push back against the Cameron Peak Fire in the Arapahoe and Roosevelt national forests in northern Colorado on Aug. 24. COURTESY PHOTO

Schumacher said it is not just Colorado, Western states have had year-round fire problems since 2002 as average temperatures have crept up and annual precipitation levels have decreased. Schumacher said the increased temperatures are here to stay and the impact on the atmosphere is real. “In the mountains and western Colorado, the increasing temperatures puts more stress on vegetation and soil,” he said. “When the air is hotter, it is thirstier for water. The atmosphere then wants to pull the moisture out of the soils and crops. Even if you have a normal amount of precipitation, it does not

go as far.” Along the Front Range, Schumacher said, 2021 has been a good year for snowfall and precipitation, but the effects of 2020 carry over. In years like 2020, Schumacher said, the exceedingly hot temperatures with a lower-than-average level of snow and rainfall become the perfect setting for wildfires. In 2020, an estimated 700,000 acres burned in the state as the Cameron Peak Fire, East Troublesome Fire

Chainsaws and Chuckwagons BY BELEN WARD BWARD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

hainsaw carvers from across the country returned to compete against each other to win the grand prize for best sculpture carved out a tree log at the Chainsaws and Chuckwagons event in Frederick July 14 through July 17. Included was live entertainment and food vendors (chuckwagons) at Centennial Park in Frederick.

Trevor Rogers from Fort Collins, a selftaught carver for about a year. He carved a giant a lemon tree.

Matt Ounsworth from Fort Collins he has been carving for five years. Humorously, Ounsworth said he was inspired for his love of chainsaws. He is craving a group of bears to add to the bear bench he’s creating with a nature scene of animals surrounding it. PHOTOS BY BELEN WARD

Kajemyou Dhil from Africa and has been a carver since 2006. He was inspired by sculpting with clay since he was a little boy growing up in Africa creating little clay figures. He is carving landing eagles.

Michael Koeppel from Wittenberg, WI has an art degree in industrial design and has been carving for four years. He is sculpting a mammoth that will have little birds looking him from top of its trunk and flowers around the base. He got the idea visiting a mammoth sink hole in South Dakota on the way to Frederick.

Nate Hall from Nebraska has been carving for about three years and it started out as a hobby. He worked for an ad agency as a creative director for over 20-years so it stated out as a hobby. He got his inspiration from shark week so he is creating a hammerhead shark with a saddle so people can ride it.

Dulnua Fernando from Oklahoma, has been carving for nine years. His inspiration came from a Log Home magazine he read in high school then he began to carve and practice the craft. When he sees wood something about the curvature and the natural movement is inspiring. He carved a big bear holding a sign, “I love Colorado.”

Community survey available in Brighton STAFF REPORT

The city of Brighton is taking part in The National Community Survey through Polco National Research Center to get resident input on such issues as crime and safety and employment opportunities to overall quality of life. A city statement said 2,700 households will begin receiving surveys in the mail this month. Responses will be weighted and analyzed for results. After the return of the mailed surveys,

the medical center will devote resources to improve the community. The 2018 survey resulted in Platte Valley leading or supporting a number of programs, some including stroke education in the community, cardiac screenings for

an online version of the same survey will be available for the rest of the community to complete in August. A city statement said residents have to provide a ZIP code to prove residency and so that there aren’t duplicate participants. The city also said it helps staff see general area of respondents. Answers are confidential, and the city said personal information will be securely stored on Polco. “This survey is a great way to get a pulse

youth, grants to local mental health counseling centers, and an aging mastery program, the statement said. “Platte Valley has been dedicated to serving this community for more than 60 years, both inside and outside the walls of this hospital,” said a statement from John Hicks, president, Platte Valley Medical Center. “We look to our community to provide valuable input into

of the community,” said Jane Bais DiSessa, Brighton city manager, in a statement. “It’s important we do this every couple of years to help align the priorities of Council and city staff with that of the community. We are looking forward to seeing the results from this survey.” The city and NRC conducted a Brighton community survey in 2014. Email communications@brightonco.gov for more information.

the ways we can be of service and effect positive change in the areas that matter most.” Based on interviews with community members, the task force will meet in August to decide on the community’s two to three most significant needs. The new community health improvement plan begins in 2022. “We are grateful for the partnership of our local government and

non-profit organizations as we begin this three-year process to improve health in the Northwest metro area,” Jarrett said in the statement. “It is so important to us that the voices of everyone who lives, works, learns, and plays in our community are heard. We will spend the entire month of July connecting with as many people as possible to understand how to serve our community best.”

reality as officials manage state forest lands. “With it being warmer and drier, it only intensifies fires, allowing them to burn faster,” he said. “The most important thing for people using public lands is to follow guidelines set by local jurisdictions. These warnings are not just created on a whim. They are not taken lightly, and they are important.” According to the U.S. Department of the Interior, about 90% of wildfires are human caused, with the other 10% coming from nature such as lightning strikes. It is important that people take responsibility and realize that an overheated car parked in dry weeds can spark a major fire, Beveridge said. Evergreen Fire Rescue Chief Mike Weege said covering more than 120 square miles of land in parts of Jefferson, Park and Clear Creek counties presents a lot of challenges. Besides climate issues, Weege said the current state of some of the state’s forest lands provides added fuel that allows a wildfire to get big fast. Dead, dry trees covering the forest floor have been a factor over the last few years, he said. “We have continued to see this unhealthy overgrowth in forests,” he said. “Add that to the increased heat we are dealing with, and you have more fires.” Last year, Weege said, fire crews fought the Elephant Butte Fire in the middle of a populated area. While the fire was contained after 54 acres, Weege said it could have been a lot worse. Einar Jensen, South Metro Fire Rescue risk reduction specialist, said the “wildfire season” label is creating a false sense of security. South Metro Fire provides fire protection for 300 square miles in parts of Jefferson, Arapahoe and Douglas counties. “It does not matter if it is in the hotter, drier part of the summer

or in the winter, if the fuel for the fire is ready to go, it’s ready to go,” Jensen said. In Castle Rock, Fire Chief Norris Croom said preparedness is not about time of year, but about being ready all the time. That includes coordinating with other fire departments to create a regional approach for the moment smoke is sighted. In 2020, the Chatridge 2 Fire burned more than 460 acres near Highlands Ranch. Croom said if it were not for the coordinated effort between Castle Rock and South Metro Fire Rescue, more land and homes would have been destroyed. In total, Castle Rock Fire and Rescue covers more than 66 square miles of land, including 34 square miles of the incorporated town, and 32 square miles of unincorporated land surrounding the town. Hatlestad said when a report of smoke or fire sightings comes in, all departments along then entire Front Range are on edge. “Fire sees no political boundar-

ies,” he said. “A wildfire crosses town and county boundaries in minutes. All fires start small, but in today’s climate, they can become massive quickly.” In 2020, the wind, heat and dry air created the perfect environment for the East Toublesome Fire to cover 100,000 acres in less than 24 hours, Hatlestad said. Weege said Evergreen relies heavily on state assistance if a fire breaks out in the forest areas. Once a fire gets into the trees, Weege said it not only spreads quickly, but requires the state’s air assistance to fight it from above. In the more suburban communities, Thornton Fire Lt. Perry Otero said the department does not have a lot of calls for wildfires, but they believe in a coordinated, cooperative approach for the good of the Front Range. Otero said Thornton fire crews are trained to handle wildland fires and are able to send help to other counties and districts as needed.

Denver’s smoky air keeps some kids indoors Childcare centers are monitoring wildfire smoke BY REBECCA SPIESS DENVERITE

Denver’s air quality is suffering as wildfire smoke billows across the Rocky Mountains from Western states like Oregon, California and Idaho. It’s bad for a lot of us, and downright dangerous for others. Just like extreme heat, bad air quality affects the oldest and youngest most, and childcare centers are adapting. For some kids in Denver, this means less time outdoors. Mile High Learning has been providing subsidized childcare and teaching in Denver since 1970. The center’s president, Pamela Harris, said her school directors have experienced more kids with runny noses and coughs — especially in kids with asthma. “(School directors) do have concern about the air quality,” Harris wrote in an email. “However, we have not changed our practices in terms of limiting time

outdoors at this point, although we will be monitoring as things continue to evolve.” Other preschools have already taken the next step. Shannan Meyer from the Primrose School at Lowry, part of a nationwide chain

of private preschools, said her organization monitors the city’s air quality indexes. “If it’s moderate, we do a limited time outside, and then if it’s unhealthy, we don’t go outside at all.” Denver has experienced days of

“moderate” air quality and only returned to better air quality early on July 15. Many childcare centers look beyond air quality, keeping an eye on heat indexes as well. Meyer said that at Primrose they adjust outside playtime according

to the state heat index, or the “feels-like” temperature that factors in things like humidity into temperature readings. Research into early childhood development has revealed just how integral years 0-3 are for lifelong growth, especially in learning gross motor skills. Meyer said that the children kept indoors are given alternatives to make up for lost recess time. “I hope the fire season is not bad this year, especially because the kids get stuck inside,” she said. Out of the six Denver childcare centers Denverite called, most were aware of the effects of wildfire smoke; only one said they were not worried about air quality and had not changed their outdoor policies. We asked Meyer if she knew of other childcare centers checking air quality indexes. “You know, I hope so,” she said.

SPORTS Making the adjustment to college sports

Local athletes find the change is more than moving to a new area BY STEVE SMITH SSMITH@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Remember making the adjustment from high school to college? The very idea of being responsible for yyourself -- perhaps for the first time in your life -- and encompassing such rituals as showing up to class on time and having a passing knowledge of the laundry room? Take that and add to it the desire to play college-level sports which, in some cases, can feel like a full-time job. There are meetings, practices, position meetings, travel to and from game sites and the games themselves. A number of former area highschool athletes made the switch from the preps to the pros this school year, even with coronavirus restrictions. In the first of a threepart series, we examine the changes in routine and how they thought they handled the change.

Basic adjustment Frederick’s Blake Duran opted to play football at Dakota State University in Madison, South Dakota. “The adjustment to college was pretty easy for me,” he said. “It was a little different the first few nights, staying in the dorms. But you get used to it pretty quickly. One tough part was, definitely, getting to know people. It’s pretty much a fresh start, so you really don’t know anyone.” Ex-Brighton High School quarterback Nate Griffeth moved on to Luther College in Decorah, Iowa. One change he noticed was the speed and tempo in the weight room and during practice. “When I first got here everything seemed so fast and that you’re just trying to learn how everything is done and you begin to slowly adjust

MAKING THE ADJUSTMENT PART 1 OF 3 and get more comfortable with what college lifting and practice is like,” he said. Former state wrestling champion Jacob Duran graduated from Fort Lupton High School and moved up the road to the University of Northern Colorado in Greeley. “The largest adjustment I had to make for myself was my sleeping habits,” he said. “In high school, I had the tendency to stay up of all hours of the night and be energized to work the next day. Going into my preseason workouts, I was dying. My whole body was physically exhausted. Laying there not wanting to stand up is a hard feeling. But the worst feeling is being the only person on the floor while your teammates are up breathing, thinking of ways to recover rather than sitting there showing sympathy for yourself.” Brighton High School graduate Isaiah Madril took his football talent to Dubuque. “Definitely, the aspect of being away from a place you were at for four years is something you need to get used to. That was the hardest part for me personally,” he said. Brighton High School alum Ivan Scarpino chose to play football at Gustavus Adolphus College in St. Peter, Minnesota. He said the adjustment was more than it appears on the surface. “In college, football isn’t just about going to practice and preparing for the season but also coaches make sure that you are eating exactly how you are supposed to eat for dietary goals, whether it’s to lose weight or put on weight,” Scarpino said. “Also on top of practice, there are more film sessions and meetings for the team and for your position.” On the one hand, ex-Fort Lupton High School state qualifier Antonio Marquez (track and four times in cross country) was able to run for

the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference’s coach of the year at Western Colorado University in Gunnison. On the other hand, he said the switch from high school to college athletics was “pretty drastic.” “Coming from a high school that isn’t really known for running to a college that is or close to the best running college in the nation .. there was a major difference in morality, help, and work ethic,” Marquez said. “The morality difference is when the coach needs you to do something or be somewhere at a certain time, then you better do it. If you aren’t then not only the coach has a problem with it, but also the other runners do.” Part of that drive comes from the Mountaineers’ pedigree. “You have a type of morality to live up to and you don’t have any time to switch. Western Colorado University has a championship mindset with runners, coaches, and even fans 110 percent into it,” Marquez said. “Next is the help is way different also. If I ever needed any help with my sport, such as what shoes are best or how to get better, my teammates, coaches, and aid will be there for any of that. They will help you with school, changing your eating habits and your work ethic.

Whenever there is an injury (he had plantar fasciitis) they have so many supplies that will definitely help out with recovery.” Lucas Dunker, the place-kicker for the Frederick Warriors football team, went to Garden City Community College before transferring to Washington State University, an NCAA Division I program in Pullman, Washington. His description of the adjustment was short and sweet. “The difference between college and high school sports is just insane,” Dunker said. “You have the resources to truly master your craft. When you step onto a college campus, however, it’s pretty stressful to start. But as time goes on, it becomes your home.” Tori Haug played softball at Brighton High School, then went on to Lakeland College in Sheboygan, Wisconsin. She said the adjustments from the preps to the college rankings were “way different.” “The one thing that was majorly different is the intensity of the game and even practices,” she said. “Everything in college is so much quicker and very much based on a way faster-paced game.” SEE ADJUSTMENTS, P14

ADJUSTMENTS

ment was “...a lot more intense” and was “the biggest adjustment and the hardest.” “In high school, I was doing 20-30 miles a week where the long run was eight miles,” she said. “Now, I do about double the mileage in a week and run eight miles pretty much every day, and long runs are 12 to 16, depending on the week. I was tired and sore. But I would do it again to be able to have the opportunity to run for a college team.” Duran said the switch was great for his mental strength. “If the person next to me is standing, so can I. It’s a perception you want for self and you’re the only one attacking your goals,” he said.

Prairie View graduate Kyle Melvin, who took his baseball skill to Providence Christian College in Pasadena, California, had to make a large adjustment. “The biggest adjustment I had to make was going to bed at a decent time,” he said. “We had workouts and practice starting at 5:30 in the morning. I had to make a set time for me to be in bed around 10 no matter what to get at least six to seven hours of sleep.” Davis Richard, who graduated from Frederick High School for basketball at Central Wyoming Community College, said the adjustment was “a challenge.” “But I feel like I’ve been able to adjust pretty well,” he said. “It has been a little tough to just be on your own and manage the time that you have with sports and academics.” For BHS alum Abi Read, who wound up at Metropolitan State University in Denver, her adjust-

Self-assessment Most were pleased with how they handled the switch from high school to college sports. “The switch wasn’t so bad. While being in camp we were lifting and practicing and watching film every day, and you get the handle of it pretty quickly,” Griffeth said. “I handled the switch pretty good,” Blake Duran said. “There hasn’t

really been an aspect where I’ve felt uncomfortable.” “I’ve handled the switch by writing in a schedule of what my exact days are going to detail each week with school, meetings, getting in meals/snacks, practice and then study time and free time in order for me to be organized and put a time frame on everything,” Ivan Scarpino said, “whereas in high school I didn’t have as much accountability.” “I believe I’ve handled the switch very well by utilizing my resources and keeping my eyes on my goals,” Lucas Dunker said. “I personally have been able to handle the switch very well,” Tori Hoag said. “It was very different for me at first. But as the days went on, it seemed to become more natural and became an easier task to handle.” “I feel like I have handled the switch well. A lot of it is mental and just being tough,” Davis Richard said. “First semester was tough to be honest, but second semester is great,” Madril said. “I made a lot of great friendships and am really con-

nected with my coaches.” Marquez said even though “on paper,” he thought he should have been a slower freshman, “I have handled the switch really well.” “I have been able to consistently be the No. 2 man for freshmen,” he said. “Getting faster times and hanging out with each other is what the team is all about. That’s why it hasn’t been hard to handle. My race up at Mesa Colorado University went really well and was a great opportunity to show my talents He finished 11th on the team and 26th overall in a time of 26:12 for an 8k. WCU took the top three places in the meet and won the team title). “Connecting with the team has been pretty easier because of the atmosphere,” Marquez said. “Having a good senior group has also been a great help. Evan Sutherland and Taylor Stack are always down to talk and invite you over to chill.” “I have handled the switch just like everything else,” Abigail Read said. “Just keep up, roll with it and keep working. In my mind, there is honestly no other way to handle change.”

Tobacco-tax boost generates millions Proposition EE was passed by Colorado voters last November BY JESSE PAUL THE COLORADO SUN

A new nicotine tax and an increased tax on cigarettes and other tobacco products in Colorado generated more than $34 million in their first five months, according to a data analysis by The Colorado Sun. Proposition EE, which was passed by voters in November, went into effect in January, raising the taxes on a pack of cigarettes to $1.94 from 84 cents. The ballot measure will continue to increase nicotine, tobacco and cigarette taxes in Colorado through 2027, when they level out. By comparison, Colorado collected about $187 million in cigarette and tobacco taxes in the 2019-20 fiscal year. It appears Colorado won’t meet the $87.4 million that nonpartisan legislative analysts estimated Proposition EE would collect in its first six months. One reason may be that some consumers stocked up on cigarettes before the new taxes went into effect. Colorado cigarette sales soared in December, according to data from the Colorado Department of Revenue. The state collected nearly $28 million in cigarette taxes under Amend-

ment 35 that month, compared with November and in October, when it collected $12 million each month. “It’s possible that this increase in December 2020 revenue is causing the cigarette revenue in the first few months of 2021 to be lower than expected,” said Daniel Carr, a spokesman for the revenue department. Tax-collection data for June won’t be available until later in July. Proposition EE was pitched as a way to fund preschool slots in Colorado, but money from the ballot initiative won’t start going to that cause until the 2023-24 fiscal year. In the first three fiscal years, the revenue from the new and increased taxes will be split between the state’s K-12 education fund, rural schools and housing assistance. Health advocates see the ballot measure as a way to reduce tobacco and nicotine use, citing studies that show how higher prices can reduce consumption. The next tax increase under Proposition EE will come in January, when taxes on the manufacturer’s list price for nicotine products rise to 35% from 30%. Before the ballot measure, Colorado had no tax on nicotine products, like vaping fuel and e-cigarettes. Proposition EE also enacts a socalled minimum-price provision mandating that a pack of cigarettes be sold for no less than $7 and a carton for no less than $70. The discount cigarette company Liggett Vector Brands Inc. filed

lawsuits in federal and state court challenging the ballot measure, claiming the minimum-price provision violates competitiveness laws. The legal actions are still pending. The Colorado Sun obtained emails showing that Gov. Jared Polis’ office was asked to meet several conditions insisted upon by Altria in exchange for the tobacco giant, which owns Marlboro, agreeing not to fight legislation that put Proposition EE

on the November 2020 ballot. Altria and Liggett Vector Brands are competitors. This story is from The Colorado Sun, a journalist-owned news outlet based in Denver and covering the state.
