With a suit about buying shares of water settled, some $2.8 million worth of water rights should flow Brighton’s way sometime this summer. City Councilors voted to accept a settlement agreement with the Castle Pines North Metropolitan District at a special meeting on April 12. City Attorney Alica Calderon said the agreement means that the city will own about 50 shares of water from the Fulton Ditch group. “This is water for the city to use in the future,” Calderon said. “It depends on how quickly the paperwork and the sale gets settled if it will have an impact on our SEE WATER, P13

Fentanyl bill passes first test as overdoses skyrocket in North Metro area Addiction experts say treatment, not jail, the best way to handle problem BYLUKEZARZECKI LZARZECKI@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A bill that raises penalties for possession and distribution of fentanyl passed Colorado’s House Judiciary

Committee on April 13. After more than 11 hours of testimony on April 12, the bill passed 8-3 with an added amendment that makes knowingly possessing more than 1 gram of fentanyl or a fentanyl compound for personal use a felony. Adding the amendment passed on a 7-4 vote. The legislation comes as fentanylrelated deaths skyrocketed across the North Metro area in 2021. The Office of the Coroner for Adams and Broomfield counties reported

From failing to glorious, windows get new life Fort Lupton’s First Methodist Church to rededicate historic stained glass BY BELEN WARD BWARD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The soul of a church is usually much more than its walls. In Fort Lupton’s First Methodist Church’s case, part of it can be found in the stained glass windows that decorate those walls. “I learned a lot and learned more than I ever thought about stained glass, which is an interesting and unique art,” said Teri Kopfmann, First Methodist Church chairwoman of the trustees. The church is completing a full restoration of the stained glass windows that began five years ago. An open house to view the renovated historic stained glass is from 4-6 p.m. April 21 at 306 Park Ave. The rededication ceremony and church worship service will be at 9 a.m. April 24. The original stained glass windows have been maintained in sections for years, beginning with the most damaged windows. The staff kept the original bits of glass and broken pieces to be edge-glued back in so as not to replace them when restoring the stained glass. Denver Art Glass repaired the stained glass, and Heritage Window Restoration restored the wood that held the framing together. “There were only a few pieces that were not fixable, but the rest of the stained glass was renovated. The original glass could not be sourced out because it was created in 1916,” Kopfmann said. “The funding support for the windows was from the congregation, memorials, funeral support, endowment gifts and community donations.” Fort Lupton’s Sue Davis Hubert, who updated the history of the First Methodist Church from 1836 through 2001, said restoring the stained glass was been a remarkable, long-term project. “The latest restoration was completed because of the diligence of our trustees and was finished this year,” Hubert said. “After many months of windows being removed and restored, one by one, the windows are all returned and beautifully restored.” Hubert relied on written histories from the 1836 First Methodist Episcopal Church history by C.G. Phillip in 1912; “The Echoes from Peak to Plain” by Reverend Beardsley; and the “Church Program” by Phyllis Ceretto. Edessa Anderson wrote the 75-anniversary history book from 1912 to 1933 and Harvey Sells, Iva Thiessen, and Loren Willey wrote the history from 1933 to 1982. The church has gone by many different names throughout its history. It began as the Methodist Episcopal Church through 1939 before becoming the South Protestant Church, the Methodist Episcopal Church

South and then the First United Methodist Church. Seeing a need According to Hubert, Reverend R.R. Adams, chairman of the Colorado Sunday School Association, served as pastor from September 1912 to 1915. He was also the first pastor at the church to conduct the Sunday school. The community of Fort Lupton, seeing the need for extra worship services and Sunday school, increased membership to fund and build a new church. They chose a centrally located lot at the corner of Third and Park avenues to build the new church. They paid $1,000 for the lot and another $10,000 to build the church. Rev. George G. Saywell replaced Adams as head of the congregation from 1915 to 1919. He continued the construction and completed it by 1916. It was built in a missionstyle architectural style with an art nouveau-influence in the design of the stained glass windows. The original stained glass for the whole church was built in 1916 by McMurtry Manufacturing Company of Denver for $387.29. The building committee, including Sanford Davis, William Keetle, U.B. Peckman, H.H. Ewing, W.S. Decker, Wylie W. Burge, C.G. Phillips, H.B. Allsebrook, J.C. Buck and E.S. St. John, contributed to the construction process and completion. Cecil Philip donated the piano, and the Ladies Aid Society donated the pipe organ for sanctuary. The church’s first restoration was in 1970. A second restoration project began in 2017 and was completed this year. Kopfmann has overseen the upkeep of the building since the beginning of the latest project. “It was very rewarding to see a project where you knew they were failing,” Kopfmann said. “And now that it’s sound and secure, it leaves a good, established history for the city of Fort Lupton.”

Brighton Kiwanis expands to include Commerce City Organization marks 50-year anniversary with a name change, expansion BY BELEN WARD BWARD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The Brighton Kiwanis Club is celebrating 50 years of helping communities by changing its name to the Kiwanis Club of the Greater Brighton Area and expanding its service territory beyond the city limits. “These changes are intended to attract community members who want to serve but whose work and life schedules may make it difficult to attend more traditional meetings,” said Bob Grant, club presi-

projects for the communities. Community members can come to any scheduled meeting or gathering with no required invitation. The greater Brighton Kiwanis Club is expanding into Fort Lupton, Hudson, Henderson, Commerce City and Thornton to continue its tradition of helping youth, families and businesses. Enrollment is open to all local communities. “We invite anyone from these areas to explore the opportunities the Kiwanis club can provide,” said Club Vice-President Dave Rose. “We are proud of the impact we make through both local grants and hands-on service projects.” For more information on joining the service organization, visit www. brightonkiwanis.org or contact Grant at 303-902-0586 or Rose at 303503-6880.

BHS students work to make their walk safer City, high school celebrates new Skeel Street crossing BY BELEN WARD BWARD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Brighton High School and the city of Brighton celebrated a crosswalk improvement project with a ribbon-cutting ceremony at Eighth Avenue and Skeel Street, unveiling new flashing signals and a dedication sign with the students’ names that passed policy on April 15. “When they came to the council meeting last November, I was ecstatic to get the opportunity to work with them. This is another great example of youth and government coming together and making progress in the community to make this intersection safer,” said Michael Woodruff, the city’s director of infrastructure. The Brighton City Council and the city of Brighton’s public works division received a proposal from Brighton High School’s advanced-placement government class who said the crosswalk at the high school was unsafe after a student died at Ninth Avenue and Egbert Street in 2017. Candice Halverson, who teaches the A.P. government class at the

high school, learned about Project Citizen last year. It’s meant to teach young people that they can affect policy change. It’s a program that allows the student to find something in the community to change or do their best to fix it. Seriah DeWalt, a Brighton High School junior in the government class, participated in the Project Citizen class. “I didn’t expect this to get this far. We started brainstorming ideas, and we decided to fix the traffic problem at the school because there were several accidents where kids got hit at this crosswalk,” said DeWalt. Halverson says the program is student-driven and encourages students to identify a problem in their community and the stakeholders in this case. They figured out which city council representatives were in the high school’s district and researched costs and what would be required to put in flashing crosswalks. “The student reached out to council and got on the meeting agenda to pitch their proposal idea with a presentation last November,” said Halverson. Tim Watts, councilor from Ward I, said, “It’s a public safety issue. The students were passionate and SEE SAFER, P9

VOICES

Change the thought and change the outcome

ast week fans were treated to some great golf as we watched The Masters golf tournament. There were lots of incredible shots made over the four days of play, including some spectacular shots from so many of the players. Although they were not winners, Rory McIlroy and Collin Morikawa both holed out their bunker shots on the 18th hole. It was a magical and memorable moment. A weekend golfer myself, I really enjoyed this year’s Masters tournament. Something I observe when watching professional golfers is the way that they manage the course. And part of the course management is what is referred to as the “swing thoughts” of the golfer before each shot. For some reason, this part of the game really stood out to me this year as I realized that although we are all not professional or even amateur golfers, our thinking most times will determine and drive our actions. In golf, the swing thought will determine the outcome of the shot. If the thought is positive, they can almost see the ball going into the hole before

even swinging the club. Conversely, if it is a negative thought, they can almost visualize the ball going into the pond before they hit the ball. It’s funny because some amateur golfers when faced with a shot where they must clear a creek or a Michael Norton pond, will take out an older ball just in case it goes into the water. They are planting the negative thought in their mind before they even take the shot. Let’s look at the tasks, projects and conversations that we have on any given day. If we see a task or project as being too difficult, doubts will creep into our mind, and we will continually put it off. The task or project doesn’t go away, it just keeps getting bumped down the list, creating anxiety and stress because we know that at some point, it still must get done. If our pretask or pre-project “swing thought” is positive, We are more than likely to get after it and get it off the to-do list.

WINNING WORDS

It’s no different with conversations. Whether the conversation will be a disagreement or conflict, or if is just a difficult subject that we must deal with, our pre-conversation swing thoughts are critically important. If our thoughts are nervous, negative, or angry, those thoughts will manifest themselves in the conversation. And we know that the opposite is true as well. If we go into the conversation or challenging topic that we must discuss with a confident and positive outlook, we are more than likely going to have a positive outcome, giving us even greater confidence as we move forward throughout our day. Is this true 100% of the time? No, there are always exceptions. We could have the greatest positive attitude and still make mistakes. When faced with a difficult conversation, no matter how confident we are and hopeful that the outcome will be what we desire, we still may walk away with no resolution or compromise. But we do know what Zig Ziglar said to be true, “A positive mental attitude alone will not allow you to do anything, but a positive mental attitude will allow you to do ev-

erything much better than a negative attitude will.” We have all heard that we become what we think about. Or if we think about something long enough and powerfully enough, sooner or later it will come to pass. We also know that the most important and most powerful story that we tell is the story we tell ourselves. Those stories show up in our thinking, so why not make them positive, encouraging, and filled with the expectations and outcomes that we desire? Are your thoughts taking you closer to your goal or further away? Could you use an adjustment in your own “swing thoughts?” I would love to hear your story at mnorton@xinnix.com and when we realize that our thoughts do determine and influence our outcomes, it really will be a better than good year. Michael Norton is the grateful president of XINNIX, a personal and professional coach, and a consultant, trainer, encourager and motivator to businesses of all sizes.

What does the future hold for Colorado coal plants?

or all electrical utilities, R is the first letter of the alphabet. Reliability, keeping the lights on, comes before A, affordability. Colorado’s utility regulators soon will decide the role of Comanche 3, the state’s youngest but most unreliable coal-fired power plant, in ensuring reliability, and whether more natural gas generation will be required. Xcel Energy, the operator and primary owner of the 750-megawatt coal plant, wants to keep the plant operating on limited, then seasonal-only, terms until 2034. It says the plant will meet peak demands during winter and summer. Several state agencies plus other groups have concurred. Evidence for Comanche 3 serving this purpose is thin. All fossil fuel plants must occasionally be idled for repairs and maintenance. Comanche 3 has been first in this class. A 2021 report by the Public Utilities Commission staff found the coal unit from 2010 to 2020 “had the lowest availability” of all of Xcel’s coal and gas-fueled units in Colorado. Comanche 3 was down for most of 2020. It’s down again this year, and until June at the earliest it won’t be generating any more electricity than a solar panel at midnight. At least the solar panels that now surround the plant on the edge of Pueblo generate

electricity when the sun shines. This should provide no comfort to Xcel customers in Grand Junction or Denver, Sterling or Alamosa, who expect air conditioning if temperatures soar to 116 degrees as happened in Portland last summer. In a March meeting, two of the three PUC commissioners reported seeing no good argument for the plant operating beyond 2029. John Gavan, the commissioner from Paonia, was adamant in that. Megan Gilman, the commissioner from Edwards, was more inclined to kick the decision down the road until next year. Eric Blank, the chair of the PUC, who is from Boulder, observed that requiring the early retirement would in effect make the PUC responsible for ensuring reliability. What may matter immensely is that Comanche 3 still hasn’t been paid off. How different from just 18 years ago, when Comanche 3 was approved unanimously by a different set of PUC commissioners. Utilities and their regulators in 2004 saw a future that looked much like the past, giant coal plants gobbled coal delivered by a virtual conveyor belt from mines in Wyoming and Colorado. The plant that PUC commissioners approved

was expected to continue operations until 2070. Winds of change were even then picking up. Colorado Green, the state’s first wind farm, had begun operations between Lamar and Springfield earlier that year. That November, voters approved the state’s first renewable portfolio standard. Xcel easily met that initial 10% requirement years in advance of the deadline. Today, Comanche 3 looks like a billion-dollar blunder. If ensuring winter lights or summer chillers is the goal, the relative grandfathers of Xcel’s coal-burning fleet, Hayden 1 and 2, completed in 1965 and 1976 respectively, might be better options for ensuring reliability. They’re currently scheduled to close in 2027 and 2028. Xcel and other Colorado utilities now say with confidence they can achieve 80% carbon-free energy by 2030. Nobody, however, claims complete confidence in existing technologies and business models to go even higher than 90%. Holy Cross, the electrical provider for the Aspen and Vail areas, has a goal of 100%. Inconveniently, it also owns 8% of Comanche 3. CORE Electric Cooperative, which serves Castle Rock and other southmetro suburbs and exurbs, owns 25% of the plant.

Xcel wants more natural gas generation to ensure reliability. This could potentially result in the better part of $1 billion in new infrastructure. But would those assets be stranded by new technology in another 20 years? A decision may not be immediately necessary. In 2016, the last time Xcel submitted a plan to state regulators, it also wanted a ton of new natural gas generation. When it went shopping, it got bids for renewable generation in late 2017 that dropped jaws across the nation. The economics of renewables had become compelling. Now, reliability remains a concern, but many ideas are percolating. Homes will likely become energy sources, the batteries of electric vehicles supplying household needs when the sun isn’t shining and the wind isn’t blowing. The grid increasingly will be two-way and with dispersed energy sources. Today’s electric grid that relies on a few big coal plants in a decade will look as quaint as a desk phone from … well, 2004. By late next year we’ll have a much better idea whether new natural gas plants will be needed for reliability. As for Comanche 3, if it were a car, it’d already be in the automotive graveyard.

Wrestling standout ready for new challenges Former Skyview wrestler, Brighton HS student Jaslynn Gallegos aims to change colleges BY STEVE SMITH SSMITH@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Jasylnn Gallegos was one of the first high-school girl wrestlers in Colorado to stand on the awards podium. The former Brighton High School student competed for Skyview High School at the time.

She went 14-3 during the justcompleted season at Presbyterian College in Clinton, South Carolina, including a championship in the National Collegiate Women’s Wrestling Championship Southeast Regional tournament. But she won’t be back to defend her title next season. After a three-year stay at Presbyterian, she entered the NCAA transfer portal to find a new school. “I felt a change could create more opportunities for me,” she said. “Overall, it was a great experience. I made a few friendships that I am sure will last a lifetime.”

Gallegos got into the portal before she made the announcement on social media. “I was in the portal yesterday morning (April 12), and before I made the announcement on social media, I had been contacted by four colleges, which all had placed in the top six at the NCAA national tournament this past year,” she said. “Since my announcement, I have been contacted by a few other schools as well.” Gallegos has two more years of eligibility, one of which is the result of an NCAA extension because of COVID-19. She hopes to have a new school in place before

the fall semester begins. “I do plan on doing a fifth year,” Gallegos said. “I don’t have an idea location. I am open to whichever schools are able to offer the best opportunities for my academic and athletic aspirations.” Gallegos finished fourth at the state meet in 2019. She’s majoring in psychology and may pursue a master’s degree in either clinical or sports psychology. “The goal is to find a career I can help kids and teens who need a little extra help,” she said. “This was a big decision, but I believe it’s the next step in achieving my goals.”

Riverdale Ridge’s Leopold finding track to his liking BY STEVE SMITH SSMITH@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Ryan Leopold’s sports specialty is basketball. The Riverdale Ridge High School junior averaged 14.9 points per game, three assists per game and made 46 percent of his field-goal attempts for a Ravens’ squad that advanced to the Sweet 16 round of the playoffs for the first time. But now, in addition to the offseason club basketball program, Leopold is doing something else. He’s on the Ravens’ track team. It’s the first time he’s ventured into that sport. “I wanted to do track this year to get faster and more athletic for basketball,” he said. “I’m not doing any other sports currently, but I might play football this upcoming season.” Leopold’s individual events are the high jump (his best height is 5 feet 8 inches) and the long jump, the 200-meter dash (his top time is 24.74 seconds). He’s also one-quarter of the Ravens’ 4-by-100-meter relay team.

So far, the effort has been worthwhile. “Track, 100 percent, has helped with my explosiveness in basketball and made me a much better overall athlete,” he said. “I’m still learning the techniques for my events to maximize my athletics, but ultimately a lot of it is just being a good athlete and trusting your instincts.” Leopold said he wish he could have started track sooner. “My freshman year, I was going to do track, and then COVID shut down the season,” Leopold said. “Last year, it was during the summer. So, I was unable to do it because of club basketball.” His best effort in the high jump came during the Ravens’ first meet of the season, the Brighton High School Mercury Classic, just before spring break. He also jumped 5-8 at a meet in Greeley earlier this month. “I wouldn’t say I was surprised at placing first in high jump at my first-ever meet (the Mercury Classic), even though I haven’t ever practiced

with students about their ideas of flashing signs and also made several improvements with the concrete landings, the pads for the sidewalk and the new striping on the roadway. Education officials said they were proud. “I’m incredibly proud of the students and grateful for the partner-

It’s great to have a safe crossing here.” “I’m happy for the students passing policy and that they were the driving force behind it. What’s impressive is that these kids are active and involved at this young age,” said Tom Green,

27J Schools board of education member. “These students got a policy made, and it’s going to empower them as citizens to make a difference. They will probably be more civically engaged for the rest of their lives and learned they can actually do something,” said Halverson.

For teens, nothing serves up an addiction like flavored tobacco. Tobacco companies sell kid-friendly flavors, from Cherry Dynamite to Donut to Menthol. Over 2 million kids use e-cigarettes, and 85% use flavors. More than 1 in 4 Colorado high school students are hooked. We’re asking legislators to end the sale of flavored tobacco that the industry has used to addict our kids. Let’s put our kids’ health over Big Tobacco’s profits.

FENTANYL FROM PAGE 1

be charged with a Level 1 drug felony under the bill, which is punishable by between eight and 32 years in prison and between $5,000 and $1,000,000 in fines, or both. Smaller amounts, such as between 4 and 50 grams, would be considered a Level 2 felony, punishable by between four and eight years in prison and between $3,000 and $750,000 in fines, or both. The bill would consider less than 4 grams of fentanyl to be a Level 3 drug felony, punishable by between two to four years in prison and between $2,000 and $500,000 in fines, or both. New tools for police, DAs District Attorney Brian Mason, representing Adams and Broomfield counties, testified at the Judiciary Committee hearing on the bill. “I have become an unintended expert on fentanyl because of the degree to which it has ravaged my community,” he said. He referenced the Commerce City case and noted the victims thought they were taking cocaine and instead snorted pure fentanyl. He said it is the largest, single incident of fentanyl poisoning and deaths in the entire country to date. He said he supports the bill because it gives him new tools to hold accountable those who distribute the drug. Those most likely to die from fentanyl, he said, are young people looking to experiment with new drugs. “Because this drug is so lethal, we must use every tool to get it off the streets,” Mason said. He pushed for strict penalties on

possession. He said 4 grams of fentanyl is more than the amount a casual user would carry, referencing a 2019 House bill. That bill, the Offense Level For Controlled Substance Possession, decriminalized possession of up to 4 grams of almost all illicit drugs for personal use. But allowing that much fentanyl makes little sense, Mason said, because the drug is so deadly. “I don’t want to lock up users, my team doesn’t want to lock up users, we don’t lock up basic, small-time low-level users, but 4 grams is not a user amount and we must have reasons to get this poison off the streets,” he said. Rep. Adrienne Benavidez, D-Commerce City, pushed back, saying the proposed bill calls for 4 grams of any drug that contains fentanyl, meaning it could be 3.9 grams of cocaine and contain .1 grams of fentanyl. “Under current law, it doesn’t mean 4 grams of pure fentanyl, it means 4 grams of whatever the drug is having some fentanyl on it,” she said. Rep. Leslie Herod, D-Denver, then asked Mason if a case came to him over an eight-ball of cocaine with fentanyl in it, whether he would prosecute the cocaine or fentanyl charges, to which he said the facts of the case would lead him to make a decision. Referencing the Commerce City case, Mason called for more resources and explained that since the case is so large, support from the DEA, North Metro Task Force, the U.S. Attorney’s Office and others came to his disposal. That’s rare, he said. The bill has received support from both sides of the aisle, and Northglenn’s Kyle Mullica, Democrat majority cowhip as well as a trauma nurse, sees the bill as adding to efforts aimed at addressing the issue. “We need to be doing all that we can

down here and using every tool that we have to try to deter this drug from being on our streets,” he said. “For those who are putting it on our streets, we need to be throwing the book at them.” He said the bill comes as a needed deterrent, but he emphasizes the demand for more addiction and mental health infrastructure. He calls for more treatment beds, increased funding for recovery programs and more mental health access. “I don’t think the ideal thing is jail; it’s treatment,” he said. Some addiction professionals do not agree with the proposed legislation. Lisa Raville, executive director of the Harm Reduction Action Center in Denver, points to previous policies enacted in the United States. “We don’t believe in criminalization because we’ve never seen that work,” she said in an interview. “We’re 50 years into the war on drug users.” She believes increased penalties and criminalization for drug users in the past has not produced a decrease in overdoses or drug use. According to a brief from the Harm Reduction Action Center in March 2022, a study done by the Northeastern University School of Law’s Health in Justice Action Lab found no evidence that prosecuting drug-induced homicides slows the sale of illegal drugs. “DIH prosecutions discourage witnesses to overdoses from calling 9-1-1 for fear that they will be arrested and charged with DIH or other serious crimes,” the study said. The brief also explains that incarcerating drug dealers has little or no impact on disrupting drug supplies because the demand for drugs is still present and those dealers will be replaced by new recruits. Or, there will be increased drug selling by existing dealers.

Raville gave an example of laws surrounding prescription drugs. “When legislators legislated doctors out of prescribing opioids, it’s not like people stopped using drugs. They went to the streets to an unpredictable drug supply, such as heroin,” she said. Raville also said the drug supply is very unpredictable, and there will be another drug contaminating the supply after fentanyl. Currently, she said, the only safe supply of drugs is alcohol and cannabis due to regulation. If the government regulated cocaine, methamphetamine, heroin and other drugs, drug users would know that their drugs are pure and are not laced with anything, such as fentanyl. “What we tell our people that are using street drugs is to just assume that fentanyl probably contaminated the drug that you’re using,” said Lauren Mitchell, nurse manager of the Tri-County’s Health Department’s Harm Reduction and HIV Prevention Program. She said the potency of fentanyl is about 50 times more than heroin. According to the United States Drug Enforcement Administration, fentanyl is a synthetic opioid that is 80-100 times stronger than morphine. “Pharmaceutical fentanyl was developed for pain management treatment of cancer patients, applied in a patch on the skin. Because of its powerful opioid properties, Fentanyl is also diverted for abuse,” the DEA’s website says. The DEA said clandestinely-produced fentanyl is primarily manufactured in Mexico, and it is used for intense, shortterm highs with temporary feelings of euphoria, slowed respiration and reduced blood pressure. “Because they can produce this in a lab, it’s faster, it’s easier and it’s cheaper and so it kind of bled out into the market,” Mitchell said.
