Brighton youth debate city council about funding Youth Commission members argue against taking money away BY LIAM ADAMS LADAMS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Brighton youth put pressure on the City Council July 20 after council members criticized the funding that the Brighton Youth Commission is receiving from the city. Councilors who are acquainted with adult-aged residents expressing frustrations during public comments were caught off guard when high school students were at the podium instead. “I don’t know why we’re going through this scene right now. We haven’t made any decisions regarding the Youth Commission, but this is really out of line,” said Councilwoman Mary Ellen Pollack. Pollack was one of several councilors who, during a study session the week prior on July 13, said that the city is giving too much money to an organization that she feels is serving too few youth. The youth commission is comprised of 22 youth commissioners and six adult commissioners who study the needs of youth in the city and plan events to address those needs. Youth commissioners also sit on other Brighton boards and commissions, provide city council with input and attend national conferences with youth commissioners from other cities across the country. During a study session discussion about contributions the city makes to local organizations, Pollack said the youth commission is receiving too much money compared to the Boys and Girls Club, which received $82,000 from the city this year.

Brighton hires new city attorney Alicia Calderón to become permanent city attorney following a months-long recruitment process BY LIAM ADAMS LADAMS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Brighton City Council unanimously approved a contract to hire Alicia Calderón as Brighton’s next city
COUNCIL FROM PAGE 1
“It (youth commission) should not be paid for with tax dollars for a select few because they do select who can and cannot join. I don’t understand it. And who does it benefit?” Pollack said at the study session. “We have the audacity to say that $82,000 is great for a Boys and Girls Club that serves the whole darn community and then some?” Mayor Pro Tem Matt Johnston echoed Pollack and specifically called out the city for paying two fulltime employees to oversee the youth commission. “I would like to remove those positions and dump that money to the Boys and Girls clubs,” Johnston said. Kayla Barber-Perotta, the city’s budget manager, clarified that the
attorney. The city will pay Calderón an annual salary of $185,000 and she is scheduled to start Aug. 23. Her hiring follows a months-long recruitment process that followed the sudden and unexpected resignation of former City Attorney Jack Bajorek in January. At a Jan. 5 meeting, council unanimously voted to suspend Bajorek after an hourlong executive session. Two weeks later, Bajorek resigned. Though the former city attorney had disagreements with certain members
of council, such as Mayor Pro Tem Matt Johnston, it was never clear what led council to reach a consensus in accepting Bajorek’s resignation. In the interim, Lela McClelland has served as acting city attorney. City staff conducted the search for a permanent city attorney, and city council appointed Councilors Adam Cushing and Mark Humbert to review all applications with city staff. Twenty-two people applied and four semi-finalists were chosen for interviews with the council in early June, according to the resolution that
council approved with Calderón’s contract at a meeting on July 20. Most recently, Calderón was the deputy city attorney for the city of Loveland, where she worked on civil litigation, water and power utility issues, and open records requests and election issues, according to a city press release. Calderón has also worked for Boulder County, the Colorado Attorney General’s Office, the Denver Bar Association Volunteer Court Mediation Project and the Colorado Legal Services Farm Worker Division.
two employees have other responsibilities with the city.
Rocha said she once considered herself at a “disadvantage” growing up in a small town, but that the youth commission changed that. Now, she’s in her fourth year on the youth commission, which has resulted in two consecutive annual appointments to the National League of Cities’ Council on Youth, Education and Families. Rocha and other commenters attributed their successes on the youth commission to the staff who oversee it, especially its director, Tawnya Russell. “As you can see, I’m not ‘one of the select few’ that the office of youth services has reached,” she said. “I hope next time that you all have concerns or questions, they can be resolved before being blown out of proportion.” Manuel Ornelas, who served on the youth commission from 2010 to 2012, also pushed against claims that the
youth commission is overly selective. “I just want to address another comment that I heard from the study session as well, which is that the BYC (youth commission) focuses on natural leaders,” said Ornelas. “I disagree, the BYC is a lifeline for young people in this city that have a desire to be the best that they can be and the best that they know they can be.” Johnston and Pollack stood their ground in response. Along with noting their financial concerns, the two council members alluded to “rumors” they heard about the youth commission being exclusivist. They didn’t provide details to back their claims, though. Pollack and Johnston both stipulated that they don’t want to disinvest in Brighton’s youth, they just want to do it a different way. Council made no formal decisions about the youth commission at the meeting.
Different purposes Councilman Clint Blackhurst pushed back in the study session, saying the youth commission and the Boys and Girls Club serve, “different purposes and neither one should suffer at the cost of the other.” Few community members were at the study session, but the conversation gained enough traction to draw a crowd to the meeting on July 20. Eight current and former youth commissioners spoke during public comments on July 20. “Auntie, you told me I should be able to use my voice,” said Pollack’s niece Giana Rocha, chair of the youth commission. “So, I’m using those teachings that you once taught me as a young girl in front of you right now.”

Study focuses on bald eagle boom
Front Range corridor includes nests of birds once rare in the state BY KYLE COOKE AND CLARISSA GUY ROCKY MOUNTAIN PBS
It’s no secret that the human population on Colorado’s Front Range is expanding. State officials predict that in the 10-year range from 2019 to 2029, Colorado will grow by more than 800,000 people, with about 87% of them settling in the Front Range. More perplexing, however, is that another population is growing in that same densely populated urban corridor: bald eagles. According to Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW), the whole state of Colorado had just three known bald eagle nests by the end of the 1970s. Today, the state is home to more than 200 nests — some in “unconventional” locations, like the Front Range. This could explain why people who frequent Denver’s City Park have become accustomed to seeing bald eagles in the area. “We know that our population of eagles has increased in this area,” said Reesa Conrey, an avian researcher with CPW. “And we know that our population of humans is also increasingly very rapidly.” CPW is embarking on a four-year study to learn why these eagles — the national bird of the United
States — are settling in urban areas that are often disrupted by construction and other human activity. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the Bird Conservancy of the Rockies also are participating in the study, which will be the “most comprehensive bald eagle monitoring project ever done by CPW,” according to a news release. According to CPW officials, Colorado’s eagle population declined in the mid-20th century due to human disturbance, loss of habitat, and DDT, a pesticide that poisoned the birds and made their egg shells extra thin. The egg shells “often broke during incubation or otherwise failed to hatch,” according to the USFWS. DDT was banned in 1972, and the eagle population nationwide rebounded as a result to the point that in 2007, the iconic birds were removed from the endangered species list. (Eagles are still protected under both the Migratory Bird Treaty Act and the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act.) Despite all the development on the Front Range since the 1970s, the state has also made it an easier place to settle with the construction of reservoirs. The first bald eagle nest in the Front Range was established in Barr Lake State Park in Adams County in 1986, Conrey said. Storms destroyed that nest and six others over the course of many years, including a nest in 2021. The eagles are currently rebuilding their nests at Barr Lake.

For this research project, CPW is using GPS transmitters to track the eagles in the northern Front Range. According to CPW, “results from the monitoring effort will be used to model the bald eagle population trajectory and expected impacts of predicted future land use change. Biologists will then make data-driven recommendations on minimizing and mitigating disturbances of the bald eagle’s environment essential to its survival.” Researchers hope the data will help them identify ways to preserve and develop ideal eagle habitat in urban areas as well as better under-
stand the birds’ tolerance to human activity. Conrey said she also hopes the results will help the state give “better recommendations to developers, consultants [and] the general public to make sure that eagles are being managed properly and will continue to be successful here.” This story is from Rocky Mountain PBS, a nonprofit public broadcaster providing community stories across Colorado over the air and online.

COUNTY FROM PAGE 1
Development Group, said she’s been reminded of two counties in Tennessee — Sumner and Rutherford counties — while touring Adams County. Both counties are east of Nashville, Rutherford County to the southeast of Nashville and Sumner to the northeast. “Both are places that are trying to figure out where they fit in as a part of the Nashville metro area,” Goldsmith said. “I get the same sense about Adams County, trying to figure out where you fit in Metro Denver.” Rutherford County is home to the largest state university in Tennessee, as well as Nissan’s North American manufacturing facility. “They are really taking a tack to figure out what makes them unique and how they can add value,” she said..”Sumner is struggling a little bit to figure out their place in the region. Those two places have been in the back of my mind for the last 24-to-36 hours.” Goldsmith was one of three national site selection experts brought to the area by the Adams County Regional Economic Partnership to visit local develop-
P
ments and then give their opinions on how Adams County is doing — and what it can do better. This is the fourth time the partnership has hosted the summit in five years, with the event returning for 2021 after taking a break in 2020. The Partnership brought in three site selection experts from around the country July 19 through 22. They included Goldsmith, Andy Shapiro, managing director of San Francisco’s Biggins Lacy Shapiro & Company LLC and Jerry Szatan of Chicago-based Szatan and Associates. All three are considered experts in helping large businesses find the best cities and communities around the country to expand their operations or to relocate. The group spent July 20 and 21 visiting a number of potential business magnets, ranging from Denver International Airport to the Colorado Air and Space Port and from Fitzsimmons Innovation Community to the Stanley Marketplaces. Their day culminated in a farm-totable dinner and reception hosted by Adams County at Riverdale Regional Park and the July 22 breakfast. Commerce City hosted the breakfast discussion at Dicks Sporting Goods Park, for county, municipal and economic development officials and business owners
from around the region. For Szatan, it was his second Adams County Site Selectors Summit. He visited the area in 2017 and said it was good to come back and see what had changed, especially RTD’s N-Line rail that connects Northglenn, Thornton and Commerce City to downtown Denver. That project was in the works the last time he came but opened last summer. “The advantage for Adams County being linked to Denver is that if you have people that want to operate there, you have an alternative to driving,” Szatan said..”It’s a huge plus to have that network and the opening of the North line is one of those things that’s different today than when I was here four years ago.” The panel discussion was moderated by local attorney Carolynne White of Brownstein Hyatt Farber Schreck, who specializes in local development and urban renewal projects. After introductions, she asked the panel if the historical trends towards more office space centralized in big cities would continue in the wake of COVID-19, pandemic quarantines and the realization that working remotely is possible. Szatan said he thinks the need for offices will stabilize as the need for both centralized office workers and

He cautioned patience, saying we don’t know exactly how that will work out. “I think this hybrid model is here to stay, with a balance between traditional in-office work and at home,” he said..”But what that is going to look like depends. Let’s say, for the sake of argument, that a company in a hybrid situation still wants everyone to come to the office on Tuesdays. Well, then you still need to have an office big enough for everyone. In that sense, the demand for office space won’t change. But we’ll have to see.” San Francisco-based Shapiro said the trend to-
ward businesses moving to smaller communities began before COVID, so he expects that to continue. Business functions that might have been centered in large ”Tier 1 cities” like New York City or Chicago began migrating to smaller Tier 2 cities like Denver years ago. “This has been going on for 20 years ago,” he said. ”COVID has accelerated a movement out of Tier 1 markets to Tier 2 cities and even to Tier 3 markets, smaller university towns and smaller state capitals that are amenity-rich but don’t have some of the big city problems. That will help them attract and retain talent.”

Redistricting Commission holds public meeting in Arvada Residents voice concerns about new proposed Congressional Districts BY RYAN DUNN RDUNN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
As a state commission moves closer to redrawing Colorado’s congressional districts, residents of Adams and Jefferson counties made their voices heard on how they want to be represented in Washington at a July 13 public meeting at Red Rocks Community College’s Arvada campus. An ongoing tour across the Centennial State to gauge community feedback to its preliminary map brought the Colorado Independent Redistricting Commission to Arvada, where many voiced their concerns about the proposed redistricting. After gaining more than 750,000 new residents in the last decade, Colorado was awarded an Eighth Congressional District in April — the state’s first new district in 20 years. The proposed boundaries for the 8th Congressional District would include parts of Arvada, Broomfield, Brighton, Fort Lupton, Thornton, Westminster, Firestone and Platteville, among other communities. Over 40 attendees of the meeting gave oral testimony over the course of the evening. Residents from the proposed district and the surrounding areas expressed concern over how the congressional district would split county lines, which some commenters said would hinder their community’s ability to vote together on issues of shared interest. Arvada Mayor Marc Williams spoke first, voicing his desire to keep Jefferson County cities in the same congressional district. “Arvada’s community of interest lies primarily with Golden, Wheat Ridge, Lakewood, Edgewater and Westminster,” said Williams, “in other words, the Jefferson County cities. These are all Jeffco cities who will be getting a letter from the Jeffco mayors indicating a very unified voice that we think that we should all be in one congressional district. “And that’s because we work well together,” Williams continued. “We’ve worked together on the homelessness issue; we’ve done a great Navigator program that we’ve put together in Jefferson County to address that issue. We’re working on attainable housing. We also have common transportation issues… that commonality of interest is not something I want to lose.” Under the preliminary map proposal, Arvada would break from current CD7 and Jefferson County counterparts Lakewood, Wheat Ridge, Golden and Edgewater, among others. Ken Fellman, who served as mayor of Arvada from 1999 to 2007, wrote into the commission voicing his desire to keep Jefferson County communities of
interest in the same congressional district. “The 7th Congressional District today,” said Fellman, “includes centers of aerospace, technology, environmental leadership and manufacturing in the communities that surround us from Westminster to Golden to Lakewood. Many Arvada businesses support these industries and even more Arvada residents work in these neighboring communities. Keeping these communities of interest together in one House district is critically important to all of us living here.” Red Rocks Community College President Michele Haney advocated for her own community of interest; the College’s two campuses, which would be split into separate congressional districts under the preliminary map proposal. “If you look at the preliminary maps,” said Haney, “they divide our campuses in two; Arvada in one district, Lakewood in another ... I would ask you to consider keeping the community of interest together, and keeping the Arvada and Lakewood campuses in one (district).” The meeting also saw many residents of Lakewood voicing their concern about the city’s grouping in the revamped CD7, which it would now share primarily with Douglas County cities Highlands Ranch, Castle Rock and Parker. “I reside in Lakewood,” said Sandie Weathers in an oral testimony. “Although most of the bonds I have made are in Lakewood, many of them have been made with folks in Wheat Ridge and Arvada. It is to my chagrin to hear that Republican commissioners are trying to group Lakewood in a district in Douglas County. Lakewood shares nothing with Douglas county. The only purpose would be to try to turn a traditional blue district red. This is quite obvious. I ask for fairness and transparency.” “Lakewood is connected by a community of interest, geography, and history to other municipalities in Jefferson County,” said Tami Tanoue in an oral testimony, “such as Arvada and Wheat Ridge. We are part of the service area of Denver Water and, along with many other Jeffco municipalities, are served by distributor agreements with Denver Water. There are numerous intergovernmental agreements in place, and Lakewood’s concerns and priorities are not congruent with those of Douglas County.” The Commission will continue to hold community meetings through the end of Aug., with upcoming meetings slated for Denver on July 27, Aurora on July 28, Centennial on Aug. 3 and Golden on Aug. 4, among others. A full schedule of the Commission’s meetings can be found at redistricting.colorado.gov/meetings. The first elections under the new districts will be in 2022.

State won’t require masks for vaccinated students Some districts have already said they won’t mandate face coverings in the fall BY ERICA MELTZER CHALKBEAT COLORADO
Colorado students, teachers, and school staff who are vaccinated won’t have to wear masks at school and won’t have to quarantine after COVID exposure, state health officials said in new guidance released for the 2021-22 school year. Masks are recommended — but not required — for people who are not vaccinated, which currently includes all children under 12. School districts could choose to set stricter policies. The recommendation matches school guidance released earlier this month by the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. “Masking is an especially critical strategy when a community is at higher risk of transmission,” state health officials wrote. “Schools should create an accepting environment for parents and students who choose to use masks even when they are not required.” Some Colorado school districts have already announced they won’t require masks next year, while in others, officials said they were weighing their options and waiting for state guidance. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that everyone continue to wear masks in school settings to create more layers of protection. Particularly significant for school operations, the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment no longer recommends that people who are exposed to COVID in a routine classroom setting quarantine at all — provided they weren’t engaged in a higher risk activity like singing or contact sports and that their community has high vaccination rates and low community transmission. For much of last school year, classroom quarantines frequently disrupted in-person learning, leading some superintendents to call
for the state to end the practice. In describing the shift, state public health officials said it’s important to keep children safe and healthy, but children’s well-being extends beyond the risk of COVID. “We want to make sure that schools remain a safe place, and this plan outlines ways to reduce potential transmission of COVID-19 in the school setting, while facilitating inperson learning,” CDPHE executive director Jill Hunsaker Ryan said in a press release announcing the new guidance. The state guidance, released July 20, calls for different approaches in communities with high vaccination rates and low community transmission and those with low vaccination rates and high community transmission. COVID and vaccination rates vary significantly around the state. Mesa County, in particular, with vaccination rates around 42%, has become a hotspot for the Delta variant, and cases have strained hospital capacity there. But the guidance is just that — recommendations — and school districts and local public health agencies have the authority to set policy. “This guidance strongly recommends local leaders and school leaders take a layered approach to prevention,” health officials wrote, including ventilation, staying home when sick, and frequent hand-washing. “Communities with higher rates of transmission and low vaccination rates should continue to take heightened COVID-19 precautions. Local public health still has the authority to enforce local public health orders, which may include quarantine requirements.” The state no longer recommends quarantining of close contacts in school settings, even for unvaccinated students, in counties where at least 70% of eligible people have received at least one dose of the vaccine and case rates are not above 35 per 100,000 people in a seven-day period — or in school buildings with similarly high vaccination rates and a weekly testing regime. However, in counties and schools with lower vaccination rates, higher case rates, and no plan for frequent

testing, state health officials continue to recommend quarantine for close contacts. The guidance also recommends that people exposed outside a school setting continue to quarantine. Large outbreaks or the emergence of new variants could also lead to quarantine requirements. The guidance cites contact sports, indoor sports, band and choir as activities that are higher risk and require special precautions, such as routine testing and quarantine after exposure. “During the spring 2021 semester, outbreaks of COVID 19 often originated with these groups of students and then spread to the larger school community, disrupting learning,” the guidance states. State health officials continue to stress the importance of vaccination. Rates vary widely around the state, and fewer than half of eligible students ages 12 to 18 are currently vaccinated, with just a few weeks to go before school starts. State Epidemiologist Rachel Herlihy pointed to the steep decline in hospitalizations and deaths in

In early July, Gov. Jared Polis’ office issued a news release that said: “Governor Polis Ends COVID-19 Health Emergency Order.” Following that statement, Colorado state Senate Republicans heralded that “the public health emergency would come to an end today,” the Senate GOP said in a release. “This is something we’ve been advocating for on behalf of our
constituents for some time now,” state Sen. Paul Lundeen, a Republican of Monument, said in the release. “Every meeting we’ve had with the governor has been punctuated with an inquiry as to when he would finally lift the order and declare this pandemic over in the State of Colorado. We’re glad to see he finally has agreed to turn this dark page in our history.” The reality is more complicated than Polis and the Senate GOP described — and the state generally continues to have the same powers regarding COVID-19 response as it did before Polis’ new policy. Polis’ office told Colorado Community Media that the governor “ended the health emergency SEE STATE, P9

counties with high vaccination rates. At the same time, she noted that schools serve a large unvaccinated population and will for many e months to come. It’s not clear when m vaccines for younger children will a be approved by federal regulators. a “Our unvaccinated Coloradans p remain vulnerable to the new t variants, especially the Delta variant, which appears to be more — likely to make young people ill than previous variants,” she said in a statement. “Because many students have yet to be vaccinated and students under 12 are not yet eligible for the vaccine, we must continue to remain vigilant, take important mitigation steps that can reduce transmission of COVID-19, and address outbreaks in a safe and thoughtful manner.” To read the full guidance, go to tinyurl.com/COSchoolGuidance.

in Colorado” but wouldn’t point specifically to what executive order constituted a “COVID-19 health emergency order” that was being lifted. The closest action to such a comprehensive “health emergency order” appears to be Executive Order D 2020 003, issued in the early days of the pandemic in Colorado, dated March 11, 2020. That order declared a state of disaster emergency due to the coronavirus and authorized state agencies to take actions to respond to the crisis. “The original order, D 003, was very broad because the governor had to address the health crisis, economic impacts and more. The current order is narrowed to focus on the economic recovery and powering the Colorado comeback,” said Conor Cahill, a spokesperson for the governor. Emergency powers During a declared emergency, the governor’s powers greatly expand. During any type of disaster emergency, among other powers, the governor may: • Control the right to enter and exit a disaster area, along with the movement of people within the area. The governor can also quarantine persons and property. • Commandeer or use any private property if necessary to cope with the disaster emergency. • Suspend a statute — or state law — that lays out the procedures for
conducting state business or the rules of any state agency, if strict compliance with the statute or rule would prevent or delay necessary action in coping with the disaster emergency. That’s according to a fact sheet on the governor’s powers during a declared emergency written by the Office of Legislative Legal Services, a staff agency of the Colorado legislature. Perhaps the most visible form of power the governor has exercised in Coloradans’ everyday lives was the state’s mask order, issued by executive order and renewed many times. The governor’s mask order expired June 1, according to the governor’s office, but some of its requirements have generally lived on through an updated public health order from the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment. What’s more, that department’s power to issue public health orders — including those regarding capacity restrictions on businesses, quarantine guidance or masks — have not changed as a result of Polis’ new policy. In other words, Colorado’s public health orders can still require quarantine policies, restrictions on businesses and other measures in response to the coronavirus. The statewide stay-at-home order in spring 2020 and the safer-at-home order that came after it were issued via public health orders. The COVID-19 “dial” policies — which outlined restrictions on businesses and other settings based on local virus spread — also arrived via public health order.
“Public health orders do not rely on a disaster emergency declaration and can be issued at any time to control the spread of disease and protect public health,” said a statement from the Colorado State Joint Information Center, which takes questions for the state publichealth department. Some provisions restated What Polis’ July 8 action did was rescind many executive orders the governor issued in response to the pandemic, but it also restated some provisions, including to continue the state’s disaster declaration. “My verbal order of March 10, 2020, declaring a disaster emergency … is hereby memorialized by this executive order and shall have the full force and effect of law as if it were contained within this executive order,” the July 8 executive order says. What that means is that Polis’ emergency powers appear to remain unchanged, but the governor appears to be focusing his powers only in certain ways. “Over seventy percent of adults have now received at least one dose of the lifesaving COVID-19 vaccine, and we are beginning to see life return to a new normal. I am therefore rescinding all previous executive orders issued due to COVID-19 and amending and restating this executive order to focus only on those measures related to the state’s recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic emergency,” the July executive order says. Spanning 12 pages, the executive order still issues numerous dense directives, such as for adminis-
tering the COVID-19 vaccine and ensuring that health care facilities have sufficient resources to treat COVID-19 patients, improving Colorado’s economic recovery, and maintaining access to additional federal funding, the order’s text says. Some language that the order says it rescinds is nevertheless reinstated elsewhere in the order. For example, the order says the governor rescinds Executive Order D 2021 088, which provides some protection for tenants at risk of eviction amid the pandemic. But part of order D 2021 088’s language is inserted verbatim back into the new executive order on page 8. John Douglas, director of TriCounty Health Department, said on July 15 that he wasn’t aware of the “seeming contradiction” about the disaster declaration continuing. “I assumed we were not (under emergency order),” said Douglas, whose department is the local health agency for Adams, Arapahoe and Douglas counties. County and district public health agencies have independent authority to issue local public health orders, for which a statewide disaster declaration is not required, according to Mellissa Sager, policy and public affairs officer for TriCounty Health. Douglas wondered whether the crowd at the Major League Baseball All-Star Game happening five days after the governor’s new executive order acts as a “double barrel” mechanism for making people less cautious. So far, he hasn’t seen evidence of that, he said.

2021 Adams County Fair Guide
The Adams County Fair is almost as old as the county itself
he first official Adams County Fair was held in October 1904, but the fair and rodeo predate the formation of the county. The fair dates back to 1888, when monthly Market Days were held at the fairgrounds on the south edge of Brighton, which is the presentday site of the City of Brighton Government Center at 450 South 4th Avenue.
The monthly Market Day for farm produce and livestock was organized by Brighton founder Daniel F. Carmichael and other Brighton boosters. The site was a racetrack called Driving Park, where horse races and plowing races took place and cattle and horses were auctioned. The fairgrounds also were the site of July 4th celebrations for several years. The Platte Valley Farmers Association launched a fall fair in Brighton in 1892. The scope of this project was larger than ever before and embraced several counties. Buildings were erected at Driving Park to house exhibits. A 120’ x 32’ grandstand that could seat 500 people was built next to the racetrack with a fine arts hall underneath. A tent eight feet in diameter was constructed to shelter displays of agricultural products. Stalls for horses, sheds for cattle, and pens for hogs were built to the south of the racetrack. A long list of premiums and awards were donated by local businessmen, including the Fulton Ditch Company, Arapahoe County (which then included the area), and various Denver business firms. On October 5, 1892, the day the fair was to begin, Brighton was hit by a terrible rain storm and the fair was postponed. Fortunately, the storm
struck before the exhibits arrived, and the only real damage at the fairgrounds was to the tent, which was flattened by the high winds. The fair was finally held October 18-20. Tomato Day - Battle of Brighton
After the voters of Adams County chose Brighton as the permanent county seat, the fairgrounds were turned over to the newly formed Adams County Fair and Rodeo Association. The first Adams County Fair and Rodeo was held during the first week of October 1904. Opening day was known as Tomato Day and was the day with the best attendance. A noon barbecue was followed by a tomato contest called the Battle of Brighton. Two teams of eight contestants dressed in white represented
the Democratic and Republican opponents for county offices. The two teams lined up and faced each other in front of the grandstand. Each team member was given a box of ripe tomatoes, and on command they disposed of the fruit as quickly as possible by throwing it at the opposing team and occasionally the spectators. Read all about the tomato fights from a newspaper article dated October 2, 1904. The next year the popular event was held between teams from Brighton and Fort Lupton. Other events were wild-bronco riding, half-mile foot races, bicycle and motorcycle races, a mule race, horse races of various sorts, and a baby contest. Over the years famous or soon-to-befamous performers participated
in the rodeo, including African American cowboy Nat “Dead Wood” Dick Love, who once worked as a horse trainer at the Driving Park in Brighton. Growing fair
In 1964, the Adams County Board of County Commissioners decided to move the fair to the former site of the Denver Poor Farm near Henderson, where new facilities were constructed. The 4-H building was the only structure saved and moved to the new Adams County Regional Park. Thank you to Albin Wagner, the author of Adams County, Colorado - A Centennial History 1902-2002.

Taking a look at Mount Evans’ new reservation system Rangers and many guests say new system for fee sights is working well BY CORINNE WESTEMAN CWESTEMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
The night before Lakewood’s Joyce and Steve Koenig visited Mount Evans with their daughter and her boyfriend, they went to recreation.gov and purchased a vehicle ticket. On July 22, the Koenigs and hundreds of others visited the Mount Evans Scenic Byway, stopping at Mount Goliath, Summit Lake and/ or the summit parking lot along the way. Many of the parked vehicles had various tags or reservation receipts displayed on their front dashboard or windshield — proof that they were OK to park at a given fee area. When the scenic byway reopened for vehicle traffic on June 4, the U.S. Forest Service and its partners instituted a timed-entry reservation system for those parking in any fee areas between 8 a.m. and 6:30 p.m. The road itself is free to drive on, although motorists are asked to stop at the welcome station first. More than 700 vehicles have opted for a drive-only experience thus far this summer. USFS spokeswoman K. Reid Armstrong said the new system, which is on a trial basis for the summer,
has been working well thus far. It’s reduced parking issues and overcrowding at the trailheads, she said, and there’s been less resource damage throughout the area. It’s also alleviated a lot of moneyhandling at the welcome station, helping vehicles to get onto the scenic byway more quickly, she said. In fact, Armstrong said USFS saw more vehicle ticket sales in June 2021 than in June 2019 — 12,191 versus 10,783. However, she said the June 2021 numbers could include people buying for July dates in advance, as the site allows sales up to a month ahead of time. She said the USFS will have a better idea of overall traffic counts and usage at the end of the season, and it and other agencies will decide over the fall and winter whether to continue the reservation system next summer. As the Koenigs stood in the summit parking lot, Joyce said she was neutral about the U.S. Forest Service’s new reservation system. When she first heard about it, she thought it would be difficult; but, it was ultimately painless when the family bought the ticket the night before. She recalled when she and Steve visited Mount Evans two years ago, and the couple found the last spot available at the summit parking lot. “I can see why they’re doing it,” she said. However, Joyce added that she dislikes needing to make a reservation during a visit to public lands.

If someone comes to visit her last-minute, it’s harder to take them to Mount Evans or Rocky Mountain National Park if she needs to make a reservation beforehand, she described. Steve said he generally felt positive toward the new reservation system at Mount Evans, but he hoped it would get back to the point where it wasn’t necessary anymore. Ryan Moats of Highlands Ranch, who was also in the summit parking lot after hiking to the top with his church group, said he thought the online reservation system was easy and self-explanatory. He made
his reservation about a week in advance, explaining that his group bought a three-day pass and would be using it all three days. Moats, who was visiting the peak for the first time, said: “It was good to know we’d have a (parking) spot.” One reviewer on the recreation. gov site wasn’t so happy with the new arrangement. A Brian A. left a one-star review on the site, stating “It’s JUST AS CROWDED AS EVER….but this time I had to pay. That’s a lousy deal!” SEE MT. EVANS, P31

Adjusting to business side key for college success College means big focus on scholarships and money, especially for athletes BY BY STEVE SMITH SSMITH@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
For many, the switch from high school to college means an introduction into the world of checking accounts. But for high-school athletes making the switch to college sports, there’s a business side that must be considered, too. In general, college athletics are big business, especially if the sport of choice is football. College football pays for a good percentage of a school’s athletic budget, though postseason appearances — regardless of sport — don’t hurt that bottom line either. The result for new college athletes is a system foreign to newly minted, independent youngsters. NCAA Division I and II athletes can receive scholarships for tuition, books and fees. But NCAA rules prohibit “payfor-play” arrangements. The debate on that score will continue for years. But, for now, it also leaves athletes in the position of being unpaid revenue-makers of universities with the same responsibilities as the paid coaches and assistants. A recent Supreme Court decision allows athletes to earn money for use of their likeness. Last week, the former high-school athletes talked about their adjustments to life as college athletes. This week, the topic is the business and academic side of college sports. Business is in the eye of the beholder Frederick High School alum Davis Richard’s thoughts about business ties to college athletics were succinct. “It is definitely more like a business than high school. But at the end of the day, it’s still basketball,” said Richard, who played at Central
MAKING THE ADJUSTMENT PART 2 OF 3 Wyoming Community College. To fellow Frederick High School graduate Blake Duran, now playing football at Dakota State University in Madison, South Dakota, college sports felt like a business. To a point. “It can feel like a job sometimes, but the fun that comes along overcomes that for me,” he said. “It’s a lot to handle, being in college and especially as a student-athlete. You definitely need some time management.” That piece of college life involves going to class, going to practice, taking a shower and doing homework. “It can definitely be exhausting at points. You don’t really have any down time during the week,” he said. Brighton High School graduate Ivan Scarpino, who wound up playing football at Gustavus Adolphus College in Minnesota, said his school did “a good job” of guiding athletes through coronavirus and all its effects. Tori Haug, BHS grad who played softball at Lakeland College, saw a smaller business side to college athletics. “Based on high school to college athletics college seems to be more of a business experience than high school, but only when talking about scholarships,” she said. “Other than that, everything is the same. You’re still playing the game, going to school and meeting new people.” BHS grad Abigail Read agreed. She’s running cross country at Metropolitan State University in Denver. “There are some business aspects. But as an athlete, I don’t feel that,” she said. “The coaches do a really good job of keeping us as athletes focused on running while they take care of the more business stuff.” For Fort Lupton’s Antonio Marquez, who’s running track and cross country at Western State University
From left, Marivel Marquez, Antonio Marquez and coach Karch Hickman
in Gunnison, college athletics didn’t feel like a business at all. “The other runners around me think the same as me,” he said. “They love working hard, chilling and, most importantly, winning. Without them, then it would feel a little like a business, but I do get some of the best opportunities. such as running in one of the most beautiful places in the world, working out with some of the best talent and I get the opportunity to do something special with running.” Willing to work? BHS alum Isaiah Madril, who went to the University of Dubuque in Dubuque, Iowa, to play football, said college athletics felt like more of a business to him. “If you aren’t willing to work and be dedicated to your craft, then college isn’t for you,” he said. “More than half of my days are taken up by football, whether it is the weekends or weekdays.” “College football is completely a business until you sign with a school,” said Frederick High School grad Lucas Dunker. He transferred to be a place-kicker at Washington State University. “Once you sign, you have a whole community of people welcoming you in with open arms.”
Wrestler Jacob Duran, who moved from Fort Lupton High School to the University of Northern Colorado, left no doubt at all that wrestling is a full-time job. “In wrestling season, if you have a job and completing both studies and athletics at the same time, that shows dedication for what you really want in life,” he said. “Because fitting all three would definitely be a struggle but still completely possible.” Prairie View alum Kyle Melvin, who went on to play college baseball at Providence Christian College in Pasadena, California, said parts of the experience feel like a job in terms of time and effort spent. “But with it being something I love to do and it being another way I can glorify God, it is a job I’m always wanting to do,” he said. BHS grad Nate Griffeth, whose football season at Luther College in Iowa was wiped out by coronavirus, said college athletics felt like a business. “It takes a lot to build a successful team, and in order to do that, we are constantly in meetings talking about game plans and watching film, always trying to improve,” Griffeth said. “Everything we do SEE COLLEGE, P26

One of the most used statements is having good grades.” The team goal is a grade-point average of 3.2. Marquez thought the GPA for the first semester was 3.5. “So definitely having the influence around me works,” he said. “Also having that extra aid helps so much, to have a tutor at every study hall, and you can call or text them if you really need help.” Melvin’s team set a standard of reaching a 3.0 or higher grade-point average. “And we really push each other to reach it,” Melvin said. “Our coach makes sure to move our practices around our classes so we don’t miss them.” “My coaches have been able to help us to keep on our studies to be eligible and able to play,” Richard said. Those on Read’s team with low
grades wind up in mandatory study hall. “It is different than high school because the coaches expect you to take care of your stuff as well as the professors,” she said. “But there are still grade checks and expectations. They just aren’t talked about like in high school.” Dunker meets with his football academic adviser at least twice a week. He also has access to open tutors “whenever I need it.” Madril’s school provides a twoday-a-week study hall for all college athletes. “We have free tutors waiting to help,” he said. “In college, there should be no way you should fail because there are so many resources.” Jacob Duran’s academic requirements include a mandatory six hours of study hall. One-third of that involves the whole team; the rest is up to the individual team members. “If not, the team will get it,” Duran laughed.

Celebrate the state’s 145th birthday with History Colorado STAFF REPORT
History Colorado is inviting the community to celebrate Colorado’s 145th birthday with a carnivalesque event and free entry to the History Colorado Center at 1200 N. Broadway in downtown Denver. The Colorado Day celebration takes place from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Aug. 1. The carnivalesque event will include srts and crafts, balloons, ice cream, popcorn, face painting, trivia, chalk artists and an alpaca petting zoo.

Getting the word out According to Armstrong, the biggest challenge with the reservation system now is simply getting the word out. A lot of visitors, particularly people from out-of-state, are arriving at the welcome station without a reservation, simply because they don’t know about the new system. To that end, the USFS has set up wireless internet at the welcome station so that unprepared visitors can make a reservation. However, Armstrong emphasized that it’s a fallback system and not something visitors should rely on, especially
mascot and Miles the Broncos mascot — will be making appearances and musical guests will include traditional taiko drummers, classical guitarist Flint Datino, jazz guitarist Jack McManaman, solo artist Arlin Tawzer and Brothers of Brass. Attendees are welcome to explore History Colorado Center’s four floors of interactive exhibits. Local artist Adri Norris will lead a workshop at 2 p.m. and families can create a keepsake in the makerspace area. History Colorado Center will also be launching its new monthly Heritage Produce Basket, which is in partnership with Colorado Proud.
These baskets will be filled with fresh root vegetables, bulbs, peppers, florets and leafy greens, and will feature a historic recipe, a staff favorite recipe and one highlighting one of the basket ingredients from the museum’s Café Rendezvous’ chef. It is recommended to register in advance for the History Colorado Center’s celebration. The Center for Colorado Women’s History, 1310 Bannock St., which is within walking distance of the History Colorado Center, is offering a free, walk-in open house from 1:30 to 4 p.m. on Aug. 1. Guests will be able to explore the first floor of this his-
because the internet isn’t highspeed. This is exactly what happened when Chicago’s Prasanthi Konakandla arrived at the welcome station on July 22. The USFS staff member gave her instructions on where and how to make an online reservation, and it was overall a fairly easy process once she got started, she said. Konakandla described two small issues, though. First, she didn’t know which type of ticket to buy. There’s a vehicle ticket for all recreation sites, one for Mount Goliath and the summit area, and then one for Summit Lake only. The second issue was that she had to register with the system, putting in her email address and other
information, rather than simply purchasing it. Konakandla also mentioned that, while the process was relatively easy for her, it might be difficult for those who aren’t as tech-savvy or don’t have smartphones. Meanwhile, Yen Zhang, who was also visiting from Chicago but traveling separately, said she made District Registered Nurses are a to consult with students, paren her reservation about a week in advance.
