Platte Valley president ready to apply COVID lessons

Vestas to part with Brighton land

Pandemic, supply chain impacts are similar hurdles for Jaime Campbell BY BELEN WARD BWARD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Platte Valley Medical Center might be more than 1,000 miles away from where the hospital’s new president started, but it feels pretty close to home as far as she’s concerned. “What drew me to Platte Valley is the similarity to where I grew up. My family were farmers by trade and still have property there,” said Jaime Campbell, the new head Jaime Campbell of the Brighton Platte Valley Medical Center President. hospital. “The hospital where I came from took care of my family and (was) also where my children were born.” Campbell came on board on January 17 as president at Platte Valley. She brings years of experience to the job but also critical skills. She was the Incident Commander for COVID operations at California’s Bakersfield Memorial Hospital. “What was interesting about COVID is that the experience has been the same at every hospital in the nation,” she said. “It’s regulated and mandated. The lockdown taught us the same lessons, with the supply chain disruptions. We learned a lot about staff SEE LESSONS, P3

Council approves sale of land north of blade factory BY SCOTT TAYLOR STAYLOR@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Construction-component manufacturer Clayton Properties will take over 52-acres north of Vestas Blades’ Brighton manufacturing plant, part of a deal between the windmill makers and the City of Brighton, councilors agreed Feb. 15. The deal is part of the windmill manufacturer’s downsizing that was announced a year ago. The company, Danish-based manufacturer Vestas-American Wind Technology announced in February 2021 that it plans to consolidate its footprint in Colorado, combining operations in Windsor, Pueblo and Brighton. The consolidation means that the company will cease making blades for the company’s towering windmills at the East Crown Prince Boulevard location,

laying off 280 workers. The company will also cut employees at its Pueblo towers factory and Brighton nacelles factories by a total of approximately 170. Councilors unanimously approved the deal, despite misgivings about Vestas’ decision to downsize their Brighton operation last year. The company had received concessions and tax benefits from the city that came with agreements to make street improvements in the area and construct a walking path on the southern edge of the lot. With the council approval settled, Clayton Properties is not responsible for those improvements. “This three-way agreement between the City, the buyer and the seller essentially just assigns those development agreement obligations to the buyer and keeps the seller tied to the improvements that need to be with that property,” said Mike Tylka, Brighton’s deputy community development director. Tylka said Clayton Properties Inc. intends to build a 216,394 square foot facility on the approximately 52 acre property for the manufacture of various construc-

tion related components. City staff is reviewing building and site design, parking, landscaping, utilities services, drainage, sidewalk, roadway connection for the project now. Councilors were skeptical about both the buyer and seller. Vestas Feb. 21 decision eliminated 280 jobs in Brighton and also eliminated the sales tax revenue the city received. The company paid sales tax to the city for each blade it sold. Councilor Adam Cushing said he was also skeptical of the buyer, Clayton Properties Inc. “I have concerns about precision building systems. In my opinion, Oakwood Homes, which is also owned by Clayton Properties, has not really been a great community partner in terms of our school district and the capital fee foundation. So, I’m personally not in favor of any taxpayer concessions in this. But other than this, there really is nothing more to talk about there,” Cushing said. Councilor Clint Blackhurst SEE LAND, P5

resiliency, well-being, burnout compassion, and fatigue that we had never experienced before,” said Campbell. Campbell was Vice President and Chief Operating Officer at Bakersfield Memorial, a 385-bed acute care hospital. She also worked as chief operations officer and Incident Commander for 22 months during COVID operations, before she moved to Colorado. Campbell learned how to deal with the impact on staff and patients differently. “Staff resiliency efforts revolve around support services for the staff, whether it’s mental health, peer to peer counseling, opportunities, financial assistance such as when a spouse loses their job. We lost staff that had to stay home with their kids when they couldn’t go to school,” Campbell said. Campbell points to new technology, especially virtual and long-distance meeting trends, as one of the biggest innovations with practical benefits that have changed hospitals and medical care with COVID. “We were able to take advantage of virtual care in and out of the hospital. It continues to increase, whether it’s for mental health resources or actual patient visits with a physician virtually. The scheduling of COVID tests, drive-thru clinics, vaccines happening on a virtual platform. For the most part,

other illnesses and conditions. “The impact of COVID on a hospital varies from day to day with each variant,” said Campbell. “The fact is, from one second to another we don’t know how many people we will have in the hospital the next day. We plan from shift to shift in terms of how to staff the hospital.” Campbell says the hospital continues to test the high-risk patient populations, symptomatic patients and to place them where they can be taken care of appropriately for their condition.

Trusting the system Platte Valley has great programs for staff, including child care assistance, financial resources, employee assistance and mental health programs, she said. “Platte Valley, with SCL health as a health system, has resources that were put in place to try to keep people financially viable and to keep them mentally whole and healthy as well.” They also developed a program called Reset, which is aimed at the restoration and recovery of the workforce. “It focused solely on programs and resources that the staff here at Platte Valley can benefit from,” she said. Platte Valley also developed a pilot program to train nurse externs from Colorado Christian University on-site during their final year. It’s part of the hospital’s ongoing employee retention efforts. “We hope between 20 and 30 nurses participate in the program here. We could learn and benefit from their energy and presence while they learn from us, but the anticipation is many of them will choose to stay once they have experienced this hospital,” said Campbell. She plans on listening to the community to plan the hospital’s next steps, she said. “What this community needs will drive the direction that we go so we will carefully approach strategic planning to ensure that we have the services that are needed by the population that is represented here as it continues to grow,” said Campbell.

Short on staff Hospitals nationwide have experienced dire situations from shortages, including a need for staffing and protective equipment like masks and gloves. And, of course, there are never enough beds. But Campbell said she is thankful that the severity of COVID’s latest Omicron variant is gradually decreasing. The situation is not dire at Platte Valley now and she sees some relief from the supply chain disruption across the nation. But the hospital is still feeling the impact of the national labor shortage. “We are feeling the nursing shortage, here as well as within the physician population,” said Campbell. “(But) we need people to stay as healthy as they possibly can, and we are here to take care of them. “We encourage them to continue practicing hand hygiene and careful interactions with other people that are symptomatic, taking responsibility for their symptoms, not exposing other people when they have symptoms, and to getting vaccinated.” Varying by variant Campbell says the hospital isn’t normally full of COVID patients and there is still a healthy mix of patients with

COVID forever Campbell says they can’t predict what healthcare is going to look like post COVID. “It’s something we’re going to have to live with forever and probably treat it down the road, like the flu or anything else that we get vaccinated for regularly,” said Campbell. Campbell says health care workers will continue to learn lessons from what they experienced during COVID. It’s important to pay attention to the staff and their mental well-being from the impact of being in a pandemic environment and how long it takes to recover, she said. “The mental, physical and emotional toll of COVID on healthcare workers — particularly in the acute care hospital setting — is unprecedented. The way we tackle that is also going to be unprecedented. We have to be very creative,” said Campbell.

Well-heeled wheels A young man’s dream make costumes for others BY BELEN WARD BWARD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Riley Wise, 14, dreams of someday making a living designing cars. For now, the Fort Lupton teen helps his Dad design unique costumes for his and other kids’ wheelchairs for Halloween. Despite having Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, Riley loves to help. The designs are almost always show stoppers at trick-ortreat events and perfect for inspiring communities. Riley and his family have started a GoFundMe to build costumes for other people like himself. “It started a few years ago, before Riley was in a wheelchair, and we used to participate with 4-H, so we did a trick-or-treat street event in Keenesburg,” said Brian Wise, Riley’s dad. “They gave us space to work and we all went out! Riley was dressed as Anakin Skywalker with a pod racer as a prop made out of cardboard and his sister dressed as a Tusken Raider the sand people in Star Wars.” Riley’s condition progressed and he went into a wheelchair. That did not stop him from continuing to build unique costumes.

“A couple of years ago, Riley’s mom dressed as a pin-up girl, and Riley dressed as a pilot with a bomber jacket, and we made his wheelchair into an airplane bomber and went trick-or-treating,” Brian said. Spread the joy Then in 2020, Riley and his dad built a Rat Fink hot rod over his wheelchair for Halloween. Last year on Halloween they built a little red wagon, and it went over his wheelchair. “It was a job to make these costumes work, but it’s a lot of fun. So, we decided we should make costumes for other kids or adults in wheelchairs,” said Brian. “I wanted to share this with other people,” Riley said. “Our friend Maria Bousselaire suggested we should start a GoFundMe and raise money to build costumes for other kids. It’s how we started ‘Riley’s Rides,’” said Brian Wise. Janelle Wise, Riley’s mom, is a seamstress who creates purses and blankets. She helps with the costume creation. “I’m excited about it, and it also creates memories for him and us. We can do this for other people,” said Janelle. “People that come across the costumes from years before thought they were cool and remember Riley from year to year.” Wheels are a big part of Riley’s

world. He also competes in tractor pulling competitions and recently bought two pulling tractors at an auction with money he earned. “One of the pulling tractors did not have an engine,” said Brian, who helped get the machine operating. “It was trial and error and but we got it going by August. Riley had pulled other people’s tractors, but we finally got this one done for him.” It took the pair between 75 and 80 hours getting it ready to go for Adams County Fair, he said. Riley and Brian showed up at the Adams County Fair with the tractor done enough to start its engine. “It wasn’t finished, but we kept working on it all last summer and got the tractor all ironed out, and we went to Pueblo, Windsor, and Brush, it’s where they have the big tractor, pulls events,” said Brian. Riley competes in the kids’ 15,000-pound weight class. Foam cars to wheelchair decore Riley’s other passion is building model planes and cars out of foam board. Brian says using foam board gives them the inspiration for their costumes because it’s a durable, inexpensive, and easy-towork material. Riley’s plans for the future follow. “I want to build trucks and design them,” he said “We want to design mobility equipment in older classic cars,” said Brian. “They make mobility equipment on the new cars but not on the 1949 classics. They do not have them.” Riley’s Rides goal is to fundraise and build costumes for kids in wheelchairs or special needs for free. “If someone wants something more custom made, we can sell it to them, and the proceeds would go back into the non-profit,” said Brian. “When we are building costumes like this and watching everybody else’s responses, especially kids with the same condition — it’s not just for somebody in a wheelchair but also for some kids that may want something like this.” Riley also helps his dad in his fabrication shop restoring cars. He helps his dad mask vehicles to

prepare for sanding and painting and is quite particular, Brian said. “He’s very good at telling me if something’s not going work and has a good eye for design. We have lots of good arguments about it,” said Brian. “He’s not afraid to get his hands dirty. “ Brian said one time Riley’s friend Dillion was working on a Lego truck and Riley came over picked it up and said “Something isn’t right with the steering.” It took them several hours to put it together. “Riley took it apart, flipped the steering around, and put it back together — we were impressed,’’ Maria Bousselaire, Dillon’s mother, said. Warriors Brian says Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy mostly impacts boys, and he calls them warriors. “I know his bones hurt and he doesn’t whine,” said Brian. “What they can’t do their bodies physically they make up for intellectually and have a good attitude and have some trait that is personified.” To donate to Riley’s mission to build costumes for kids with Muscular Dystrophy and Specials needs go to gofundme.com Riley’s Rides.

Making a difference one person at a time

here are plenty of books, blogs, podcasts and online sites and resources that speak to the power of making a difference, one person at a time. And I must share with you that I am a big believer in this philosophy. Having been blessed to work and travel with Zig Ziglar, one of the world’s greatest motivators and encouragers, I had the opportunity to witness Zig live this philosophy. Whether it was an arena full of people or a small venue or company event, Zig would always say that even if we only changed one life that day, the day would be a complete success. Of course, Zig had such a positive impact on so many over the years, that it was always more than just one person. The world is full of people who make a positive difference in the lives of others every single every day. And they are by no means authors, experts or motivational speakers. As a matter of fact, most are just everyday people who know how to lift others up, offering hope and encouragement along the way.

People who go out of their way to see that others are taken care of in times of need. A gentleman who I work with shared his life story recently. He put together a brief presentation that he shared Michael Norton with a couple of our customers where he shared what he called his “Moments in Time.” As brief as his story was, it was loaded with powerful examples of the people who stepped up in his life and had a positive impact on his life. These were true difference makers. If you were to meet him today and look at what he has accomplished in his life, from being a decorated Marine serving our country, a highway patrolman, a top performing salesman, and a top performing vice president, you would never guess that he was a guy who needed a hand up, guidance, or hope and encouragement in his

life. But the truth is we all do, and those people who provided support to Kim “Sarge” Harrington probably have helped countless others too, one person at a time. “It is more noble to give yourself completely to one individual than to labor diligently for the salvation of the masses” - Dag Hammarskjold I know that as I look back on my own life, I too can name the people who have always been right by my side. I can name the people who had such a positive influence on what I would do personally and professionally, and who and what I would eventually become. And I thank them all regularly. What are those moments in time for you? Who are those people who make up those moments in time for you? When you think about them, what do you specifically remember and appreciate? What I have found is most of us who have received a blessing from a positive difference maker in our lives is that we typically go out and try and be a difference maker for others. So, let’s go back to “Sarge” Har-

rington. After all those people who contributed to his life taking on new meaning, he himself went on to serve our country. He served as a police officer. He served all of his clients as a top salesperson. And he continues to lift up and motivate the team he leads today. He volunteers in his community, and he gives back all the time. And he gives back one person at a time. He is a difference maker. So how about you? Where can you make a difference? Do you feel like it must be a big gesture of difference making or can you buy into the fact that we can all contribute to the greater good by being a difference maker, even if it is just one person at a time? I would love to hear your story at mnorton@tramazing.com, and when we can be someone else’s moment in time, it really will be a better than good year. Michael Norton is the grateful CEO of Tramazing.com, a personal and professional coach, and a consultant, trainer, encourager and motivator to businesses of all sizes.

Why do we need a Black History Month?

’ve sometimes heard, “Why do we need a whole month focused on the history of only one race?” Well, how can we get educated about the significant but little-known (or unacknowledged) contributions that African Americans have made to our country? Such as the very foundation of our cities, government buildings, and transportation systems built on the backs of enslaved (mostly Black) folks. Many of us don’t know that much of the music and dance we think of as “American” actually came from African roots. In many schools, these facts are barely taught, if at all. As for the harm inflicted on these fellow Americans? In school, we are taught about the Civil War, but do we focus on the enslaved being 3/5 of a person in our Constitution, or the long, hard fight for voting rights (that is still being denied in some places)? How can we do better as a community or nation if we don’t know the whole truth of the buildings we walk into, the systems we engage with, or the

As I’ve learned more through my master’s program and personal research over the last decade, I continually discover how much I don’t know (and should) about Black history in America, even Colorado.

year in the state Senate. I was proud and grateful for their stewardship. Recently, Colorado has passed some landmark legislation to prevent discrimination against Black people in employment, school, and in their daily lives. I’m hoping Coloradans are proud of these significant movements toward equity and equality in our state. But are we aware of some of our unspoken, unwritten history of harm in our Centennial state? While in the Senate, I learned that some of our desks on the floor, where we sat for hours each session, had housed legislators’ Ku Klux Klan hoods for their meetings in the evenings. Sitting at my desk, I’d look down occasionally at that space wondering if mine was one of those desks. Legislators elected to represent ALL the people were openly carrying their garb of hate with them onto that sacred floor. These, too, are the historical stories of Colorado. And they are just as important to know so that we never return to those days of open bigotry and hostility toward

our neighbors. Or have we? I don’t have the space on the page to go into all the other reasons why we continue to need Black History Month — the uneducated demonization of critical race theory, the public showings of racial violence, and a current U.S. Supreme Court majority that sees no urgency to protect the right to vote for Black Americans when gerrymandering and voter suppression are alive and well. Everyone wants to live peacefully and prosperously. Isn’t that what we’re told is the American Dream?

22 years of drought in Colorado Study says climate change made the current mega-drought worse BY CHRIS OUTCALT THE COLORADO SUN

The hot and dry conditions that have gripped the southwestern United States since 2000 account for the driest 22-year period on record stretching back 1,200 years, according to a study published Feb. 14 in the journal Nature Climate Change. What’s more, this new research finds that although there would have been a drought anyway, climate change made it considerably worse. Previous research indicated the current drought was the driest stretch since the 1500s. The new study, however, incorporated data from 2021, a particularly dry year, which led the current 22-year period to exceed the intense drought in the 1500s, researchers who studied tree ring data found. The hotter and drier climate noted by researchers has fueled wildfires, caused problems for farmers and ranchers whose livelihood depends on water for irrigation, and resulted in lower flows

on the Colorado River — as well as other rivers and streams — which provides drinking water to more than 36 million people. “What’s super intriguing is the headline finding that this is the driest 22-year period since at least 800,” Brad Udall, a senior water and climate research scientist at Colorado State University’s Colorado Water Institute, said. “That’s stunning.” Udall was part of the peer-review team for the current study, which used a bank of tree ring data to reconstruct soil moisture conditions for June, July, and August during the past 1,200 years. The database, maintained by NOAA, contains information about both dead and live trees. There’s a good correlation, Udall said, between tree ring widths and soil moisture; wider rings indicate years that received more precipitation. “This is one of the first papers that ties soil moisture to the impacts of this drought,” Udall said. Although snowpack on April 1 was either at or slightly below 100 percent of average in each of the past two years, Udall said, the spring runoff was significantly lower than expected. “Increasingly, these really warm June, July, August periods have been draining soil moisture,” Udall said. “This explains how serious the current conditions are and why we’ve been

getting such terrible runoff out of reasonably good snowpack.” Spring runoff is critical to irrigated agriculture, domestic water supplies, and the recreation industry in Colorado and across the West. Flows in the Colorado River basin, an area that includes the Colorado River and all the rivers and streams that feed into it, have been hard hit. In 2000, the reservoir system in the basin was 95% full; as of fall 2021, the reservoirs were at 39% capacity, the lowest levels on record, according to the Department of Interior. “It makes it a little easier to believe that we’ve got a real problem with soil moisture here,” Udall said. “And it’s likely we’re going to continue to see these crummy years of runoff even if we have OK snowpack.” “The dramatic trend of hotter and drier conditions across the southwest means we have to work harder and faster on solutions that meet the moment,” said Bart Miller, healthy rivers program director at the nonprofit Western Resource Advocates. “It’s urgent that we ramp up conservation and more flexible water management to protect our rivers and our communities.” The new study estimated that climate change driven by human causes increased the severity of the drought conditions from 2000

to 2021 by 42%. In fact, without the impacts of climate change, according to the study, “2000-2021 would not even be classified as a single extended drought event.” The drought is also likely to continue, according to the study. When factoring in climate change, the current drought lasted through a 30th year in 75% of the soil moisture simulations the researchers conducted. Udall said drought might not be the right term anymore. “We’ve been calling it a drought,” he said, “but a number of scientists have been saying this is something else.” Udall has pitched aridification as a new way to categorize the hot and dry conditions impacting the Colorado River basin and rest of the southwest. “What it really means is the longterm warming and drying of the American West. Not every year is warmer and drier but the overall trend is in that direction,” Udall said. “My sense is that this drought is here to stay; it seems very clear to me we’re on that path.” This story is from The Colorado Sun, a journalist-owned news outlet based in Denver and covering the state.

Employers can’t fire workers for using cannabis if new bill passes Medical marijuana usage at work also in House Bill 1152 BY JESSE PAUL THE COLORADO SUN

Colorado employers would be prohibited from denying employment to or firing workers because of their off-the-clock cannabis use – either medical or recreational – under a measure introduced last week at the statehouse. House Bill 1152 would also require employers to let their workers consume medical marijuana while on the job. The legislation would include exceptions for workers whose jobs are in dangerous fields or require fine motor skills, such as positions involving the use of heavy machinery. “Marijuana is legal in Colorado,” said state Rep. Brianna Titone, an Arvada Democrat and prime sponsor of the bill. “And what people do in their spare time that doesn’t impact their work shouldn’t really be a problem for them. They should be able to enjoy the legal things that we have here in Colorado and not be penalized for it.” The bill seeks to answer a workplace question that has been swirling in Colorado since voters passed Amendment 64 in 2012, legalizing the sale and use of recreational cannabis. Most states that have legalized medicinal and recreational pot leave the question over how to handle employees’ marijuana use up to

employers, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures. Nevada and New Jersey are two exceptions. In New Jersey, employers can prohibit employees from using cannabis while on the job or showing up to work impaired. But they are not allowed to penalize an employee solely because of their off-the-clock recreational cannabis use. Each edition if filled with exclusive news, analysis and other behind-thescenes information you won’t find anywhere else. Subscribe today to see what all the buzz is about. In 2015, the Colorado Supreme Court sided with an employer, Dish Network, who fired an employee, Brandon Coats, who tested positive for tetrahydrocannabinol – or THC – in a random drug test. Coats had a medical marijuana card as a result of back spasms caused by his quadriplegia. Muscle spasms is one of the seven debilitating conditions for which medical marijuana can be recommended under Colorado law. The closely watched case highlighted a contradiction within Colorado’s stance on pot: marijuana may be legal in Colorado, but using it can still be grounds for termination. Titone and her co-prime sponsor of the bill, Rep. Edie Hooton, D-Boulder, think that shouldn’t be the case. “The whole idea is to signal to the business community and to employers that because we have legalized cannabis we should be following the same laws and rules that apply to alcohol and prescription drugs,” Hooton said.

She also pointed out that medical marijuana generally comes in the form of a CBD product, not a THC product. The legislation was introduced on Feb. 4 and Hooton said she is still talking to the business and labor communities about it. Major opposition hasn’t cropped up yet, but it’s likely that employers who have drugfree workplace policies will push back on the measure. A similar bill was rejected in 2020. “The National Federal of Independent Businesses has historically opposed any legislation that would (allow) the use of marijuana on the property of the employer or cause an employee to test positive for any prohibited drug or prohibit any authority of the employer to perform random drug tests,” said Tony Gagliardi, who leads the Colorado chapter of the group. “Marijuana remains illegal under federal law.” The Colorado Chamber of Commerce said it hasn’t taken a formal position on House Bill 1152, but that it’s opposed similar legislation in the past. Titone plans to pitch the measure as a way for employers to more easily find workers in Colorado’s tight labor market. But Senate Minority Leader Chris Holbert, R-Douglas County, expressed early opposition to the concept. He has worked on a number of measures expanding medical marijuana access. Holbert pointed out that Amendment 64 included the following

provision: “Nothing in this (ballot measure) is intended to require an employer to permit or accommodate the use, consumption, possession, transfer, delay, transportation, sale or growing of marijuana in the workplace to to affect the ability of employers to have policies restriction the use of marijuana by employees.” “That really did clarify that employers can have a 100% drug-free policy in their workplace, and that, in my opinion, should not be infringed upon,” he said. Holbert said he would encourage employers in Colorado, however, to know the difference between drug tests that can tell if someone has activated THC – which can indicate if someone is actively high – in their system or just traces of the substance. Colorado has a 5 ng/ml THC blood limit for drivers. People charged with a marijuana DUI in Colorado can argue that they were not impaired during the time of the alleged offense and that the THC in their bloodstream reflects prior or frequent consumption. As of Feb. 10, House Bill 1152 has yet to be scheduled for its first committee hearing. This story is from The Colorado Sun, a journalist-owned news outlet based in Denver and covering the state.

Colorado to target I-70 express lane scofflaws House bill would let cameras track drivers using toll lanes illegally BY JESSE PAUL THE COLORADO SUN

WINTER AIR DUCT CLEANING SPECIALS

Nearly 50,000 motorists, or an average of 2,000 per month, broke the law in 2020 when they drove in the eastbound Interstate 70 express toll lane through Clear Creek County while it was closed and supposed to be serving as the emergency shoulder. Colorado let those I-70 scofflaws off the hook and it has likely been giving thousands more drivers a similar pass since the 13-mile lane from Empire to Idaho Springs opened in 2015. But the state is now trying to put its foot down as it opens a westbound express lane, which it fears will become filled with just as many lawbreakers. Drivers who illegally travel in the closed express lanes may face a $250 fine as soon as August under legislation being debated at the state Capitol. The state legislature is quickly advancing House Bill 1074, a bipartisan measure that would let the Colorado Department of Transportation use the license plate cameras used to collect tolls when the I-70 mountain express lane is open to also ticket motorists driving in the

lane when it is closed. Fines range from $10 to $250, and would also be levied on drivers towing trailers or who are behind the wheel of a tractor trailer. Both types of vehicles are prohibited from traveling in the narrow express lanes. Andy Karsian, a legislative liaison for the Colorado Department of Transportation, said people using the express lanes when they are closed present a “major safety issue.” And there’s really no other way to enforce the lane closure than by using the license plate cameras. Offenders would be mailed a ticket just as they are when they are caught running a red-light camera in downtown Denver. “Law enforcement can’t patrol and provide (a) presence on this stretch because that shoulder is too narrow,” he told lawmakers, referring

to the express lane. “We need to have this authority in order to make sure people understand the ramifications and the penalties associated with traveling in it (illegally).” There are now express toll lanes across Colorado, but unlike the others, the one on I-70 through Clear Creek County cannot be open all of the time. That’s because the mountain express lanes are narrower than a traditional interstate lane. (The westbound express lane opened for testing in July.) The express lanes are narrower because CDOT opted to use the existing width of the roadway to create toll lanes instead of widening the highway, which would have been more costly and had more environmental impacts. But because the lanes are so narrow, Colorado had to make a deal with federal regulators limiting the numbers and hours each year they can be open The eastbound express lane can be open a maximum of 100 days a year for no more than 1,168 hours annually. The westbound express lane can be open for no more than 125 days a year and no more than 965 hours annually. CDOT opens the lanes during peak traffic periods, and the toll changes based on demand. CDOT says the eastbound express lane has been a success at reducing drive times on the busy stretch, but people illegally traveling in it, officials say, poses a big risk of a serious crash. “If you have a flat tire and you’re

in that lane, you’re not expecting somebody to come up on you at 65 or 75 miles an hour,” said state Sen. Dennis Hisey, an El Paso County Republican who is a prime sponsor of the bill. “So it’s a safety concern that people are using it as a traffic lane when it’s not intended to be a traffic lane.” Hisey and his coprime sponsor on the measure, state Rep. July Amabile, a Boulder Democrat, said that CDOT pushed for the legislation. “There’s no mechanism to actually close the lane off,” Amabile said in explaining why the legislation is necessary. Some Republicans voted against House Bill 1074 when it was heard this week in the Colorado House, citing their general opposition to the use of toll lanes in the state. The measure passed the House by a 43-22 vote on Feb. 15. It now heads to the Senate and appears to be on a glidepath to Gov. Jared Polis’ desk. Nonpartisan legislative fiscal analysts believe deploying the cameras to ticket drivers who use the mountain express lanes when they are closed will result in about $50,000 worth of fine revenue each year.

Polis launches re-election campaign in a changed Colorado Campaign will look different than 2018 BYANDREWKENNEY COLORADOPUBLICRADIO

Gov. Jared Polis formally launched his re-election effort at a brewery in Pueblo on Feb. 15. It could be a very different campaign than his 2018 bid for the office. In that “blue wave” year, Polis successfully ran on promises to change how Colorado approaches health care, education and more. Four years later, he’s emerging from a first term that was overwhelmingly shaped by the pandemic, as well as wildfires, mass shootings, and other disasters. And he will have to make his pitch in an election year that will likely be focused on the rising cost of living and increasing crime. “These last three years have really taught me that leadership matters and judgment matters, and I’m very proud of the work we’ve done to save thousands of lives while keeping our schools and economy open,” Polis said in an interview this week. Polis came in on a ‘blue wave’ in Colorado. Now, Republicans are trying to recover some of those losses. Polis was elected governor by more

than 10 points in 2018, a year that saw Democrats take full control of state government amid a backlash against then-president Donald Trump. In 2022, Republicans hope to recover some of those losses, with a platform focused on crime and inflation. A dozen GOP candidates have filed paperwork to run in the party’s gubernatorial primary, although only half of them have raised or spent any money. Polis also faces one little-known Democratic challenger. In the early days of his re-election campaign, Polis has tried to get ahead of his opponents by zeroing in on messages like “saving people money” and improving public safety. “We as a state can’t address every issue you face. Some are a result of international or national issues,” he said. “But what can we do? We can reduce your costs, save you money and protect our amazing quality of life in Colorado.” The campaign launch has included few of the kind of dramatic policy proposals that marked his first campaign. Instead, he has talked about a narrower set of cost-savings efforts, such as delaying a 2-cent-per-gallon surcharge for gas and reducing vehicle registration fees by $11.50. “We, as government, need to tighten our belt and we need to pass the savings along to you,” he said. What Polis is emphasizing as he launches his campaign, and how his op-

ponents are countering. However, his opponents are trying to make the case that Polis is either acting too late on these issues, or that he contributed to them. For example, the gas fee that Polis has asked to delay is the result of a Democratic transportation spending package that he approved. And while Polis argues that crime is increasing nationally as a result of complex social factors, Republicans put the blame on recent criminal justice reforms, such as laws that lowered certain drug possession penalties and reduced the use of cash bail for low-level offenses. (Both of those laws had Republican co-sponsors.) Polis has “showed that he will never accept responsibility for the role his failed, far-left policies have played in the rise of crime in our state,” wrote challenger Heidi Ganahl. Polis is also trying to remind voters of some of his larger priorities that were approved in his first term but are still being implemented, including free full-day kindergarten, preparations for “universal” pre-K and the drafting of the “Colorado option” health care plan. Polis’ public health messaging during the pandemic has caught national attention. Polis also has a hand in directing billions of dollars in federal COVID-19 relief money, which will go toward housing, workers, businesses and behavioral health.

As the campaign gets underway, Polis is getting national attention for his message about COVID-19: Months before other Democratic governors, Polis relaxed state mask restrictions, declared that the emergency for state government was over and pushed for a reopening. “We have a very powerful tool in three doses of the vaccine to prevent severe health outcomes from COVID 19. And we’ve done everything in our power to use it along with that means that we have to go about our lives,” he said in the interview. In his efforts to re-open the state, Polis has focused more on individual responsibility and action than on public health measures. “And we have to understand that while of course there’s an economic cost of caution, it’s also about the social emotional cost of people,” he said of the closures forced by the pandemic. “It’s about young people who weren’t able to date. It’s about people in retirement homes who weren’t able to play bridge on Fridays or have a movie night. And we’re only on this planet for so long.” Polis planned 22 stops in cities and towns across the state following the reelection annoucement.

Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters, fresh off arrest, to run for Colorado’s top election official The Republican announced her candidacy on a show by Steve Bannon BYJESSEPAUL THECOLORADOSUN

Embattled Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters, who was briefly jailed last week on charges of obstructing a peace officer and obstructing government operations, said she is running to become Colorado’s top election official. Peters, a Republican, announced her candidacy to become Colorado secretary of state on Monday on a show run and hosted by Steve Bannon, the controversial former adviser to former President Donald Trump. Bannon was indicted in recent months on suspicion of being in contempt of Congress. “Colorado deserves a secretary of state who will stand up to the Biden administration that wants to run our country into the ground with nationalized elections,” she said. Peters is under grand jury inves-

tigation for a security breach of her county’s election system after she allegedly allowed an unauthorized person to attend a sensitive Dominion Voting Systems software update and facilitate the digital copying of her election system. Peters, who has spread conspiracy theories about the 2020 presidential election being stolen, has not formally filed to run to be Colorado secretary of state. She was initially running for reelection to a second four-year term as Mesa County’s clerk and recorder. She cannot simultaneously run for both positions. There are a few other Republicans running this year to be Colorado’s secretary of state, including Pam Anderson, Jefferson County’s former clerk and recorder and the former leader of the Colorado County Clerks Association. Anderson has been critical of Peters and has rejected baseless claims that the 2020 presidential election was stolen. Anderson and Peters are running to unseat Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold, a Democrat. Peters was barred from having an oversight role in the 2021 election because of the ongoing local, state and

federal criminal investigations into her conduct. Griswold is seeking to bar her from having an oversight role in the 2022 election. Griswold on Monday called Peters “unfit” to be secretary of state and “a danger to Colorado elections.” “Peters compromised voting equipment to try to prove conspiracies, costing Mesa County taxpayers nearly $1 million dollars,” Griswold said. “She works with election deniers, spreads lies about elections, was removed from overseeing the 2021 Mesa County election, and is under criminal investigation by a grand jury. Colorado needs a secretary of state who will uphold the will of the people; not one who embraces conspiracies and risks Coloradans’ right to vote.” Griswold has already been invoking Peters in fundraising emails for her 2022 election, pointing to Peters as the reason why voters should elect to her another term as Colorado’s top election official. Peters’ arrest last week came as she was being investigated for allegedly filming a court hearing for her deputy, Belinda Knisley, who is facing felony

and misdemeanor charges. The Associated Press reports Peters is accused of resisting police efforts to seize the iPad she allegedly used to record the hearing. Tina Peters’ mugshot. (Mesa County Sheriff’s Office) Peters allegedly tried to kick an officer who was trying to arrest her, according to an arrest warrant affidavit. David Winney, a Colorado Springs man who also has questioned the results of the 2020 presidential election, and Mike O’Donnell, a nonprofit executive who lives in Kirk, are also running for the GOP secretary of state nomination. O’Donnell objects to Election Day voter registration and claims that many registered voters aren’t citizens. Colorado’s primary will be held June 28.

Basketball: PVHS’ Marrujo hits 1,000 points for his career BY STEVE SMITH SSMITH@COLORADOCOMMUITYMEDIA.COM

Prairie View’s Domonic Marrujo is a member of a club that sits at three members, at least through this boys basketball season. Marrujo joins ThunderHawks’ alums Kam Vincel and Trey Marble in the 1,000-point-for-a-career club. Marrujo joined the fraternity almost two weeks ago. Marrujo was aware he was getting close toward the latter part of the regular season. “It really didn’t affect my play or style of play because I always go into every game with the same mindset – that’s just to go out there and do what I do and have fun,” Marrujo said. “When it started to get close, my teammates started giving me the ball more and trying to get me in my spots to score.” Marrujo is averaging more than 18 points, four rebounds and three assists a game this season. He averaged 14 points, three rebounds and two assists in the COVID-shortened season last year. “When I got into high school, I never actually thought I would hit this mark,” Marrujo said. “It never even came across my mind until I started to get closer by the game.” Marrujo scored a game-

high 26 points as the ThunderHawks knocked off rival Brighton 72-62 Feb. 18 on the Bulldogs’ floor. Tyson Roberts added 24, and Rashawn Salinas-Johnston added 17. Geo Velarde led Brighton’s scoresheet with 20 points. Jackson Kroll contributed 13, Sean Wadsworth scored a dozen and Calvin Doyle contributed 11. The state 5A tournament begins on Feb. 23. “During the off-season, I usually put up about 500 shots every day, and I always work on the parts of my game that I need to get better at, whether that’s defense, shooting, ballhandling, etc.,” Marrujo said. He’s drawn some interest from a couple of colleges. He doesn’t care where he goes so long as he can play in college “and be in a place where I can get better and have fun.” There’s another side benefit for Marrujo. “Basketball has helped and changed me since I’ve been at Prairie View, because it has helped me meet new people and friends that I’ll have forever,” he said. “It has also taught me many life lessons, and it has helped me grow up.” Marrujo and the rest of the T-Hawks move into the state 5A tournament. PVHS travels to Columbine Wednesday, Feb. 23, for a first-round game.

Young program makes noise at state wrestling BY STEVE SMITH SSMITH@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

DENVER -- One way to show teams you mean business is to perform well in front of your colleagues. That’s exactly what Riverdale Ridge High School did at the threeday state 4A wrestling tournament at Ball Arena in Denver. Three team members — AJ Hague (113 pounds), Domonic Cerda (145 pounds) and Ian Ingalls (106 pounds) — placed this year. Hague (40-3) breezed through the first two rounds. He earned a major decision win over Gage Duetsch of Mead and pinned Lewis Palmer’s Tommy Blackmon in the quarterfi-

nals. Jackzen Rairdon of Thompson Valley beat Hague 7-0 in the semifinals last night. Hague won his two consolation round matches Feb. 19, a pinfall win over David Estrada of Thomas Jefferson and a 7-3 decision over Pueblo County’s Izaiah Padilla for third place. Cerda (34-13) wrapped up his prep career by taking fifth at 145 pounds. took fifth at 145 pounds. Cerda, who missed much of last year’s campaign, including the state meet in Colorado Springs. beat Ignacio Velasco and Brendan Young to start the tournament. Tyler Valdez of Falcon beat Cerda in the semifinals. “I wasn’t really doing anything too different, just trying to keep my

head in the right state of mind and take what I have been wanting,” Cerda said. “In my opinion, it doesn’t matter to me how my opponents wrestle. All I know is I have to beat them, and I try to.” Cerda lost in the consolation semifinals to Ethan Sinclair of Greeley West. Cerda beat Isaac Padgett of Loveland 7-1 in the fifth-place match. Cerda missed last year because of academic issues. He got his grades up and “didn’t stop practicing.” Cerda is heading to the Western Welding Academy in Gillette, Wyoming, next year. “With this being my last year, it is getting harder and harder for me, especially coming into the last day of the state tournament,” he said

Feb. 19 before finishing his fifthplace effort. Ian Ingalls (31-8) took sixth at 106 pounds. Ingalls won his first two matches. He pinned JohnPaul Espinoza of Grand Junction and earned a 4-3 decision of Greeley West’s Julian Chavez. Mesa Ridge’s Damien Reyes beat Ingalls 3-0 in the semifinals. James Pantoja of Westminster slipped past Ingalls 6-5 in the consolation semifinals, and Isaiah Harrison of Mountain View beat Ingalls 5-3 in the fifth-place match. Wes Harden (20-21) won once in three tries, a 3-2 decision over Coronado’s Alex Hermosillo in the 152-pound consolation round.
