Colorado paused standardized testing in spring 2020 amid the start of COVID-19 after receiving a waiver from the federal government. During spring 2021, students took modified tests through a compromise after teachers, parents, lawmakers and education advocates weighed in about how to approach the exams in what ballooned into a statewide debate.

Under that compromise, students in third, fifth and seventh grades were required to take the CMAS exam in English language arts while students in fourth, sixth and eighth grades took math exams. Eighth graders took CMAS science exams while students in fifth and 11th grades were exempt from having to take CMAS exams in science. Students also did not complete social studiesDuringexams.avirtual media conference on Aug. 15, state education officials prefaced the release of the latest results with a reminder that, although many Colorado students resumed a greater sense of normalcy throughout the school year, others still experienced interruptions and setbacks.During the past school year, “we did return to more typical school types of experiences, (but) some students still had some reduced or disrupted learning opportunities and we need to keep that in mind as we review these assessments,” said Joyce Zurkowski, chief assessment officer at the state education department. “Districts and schools were still making instructional adjustments to address for the lost opportunities to learn over the last couple of years.”Theresults spell out both good and bad news for Colorado students and schools. State education officials were encouraged to see students in many grades who took CMAS assessments in math and English language arts outperform results from spring 2021 exams. Yet, student performance still trailed scores from 2019 exams in just about every grade level and subject.Forexample, 40.7% of third-graders met or exceeded expectations on their 2022 English language arts assessment, up from 39.1% last year but still down from 41.3% in 2019. Those academic strides weren’t shared by fifth- and seventh-graders who also took English language arts exams. In both grades, the percentage of students who met or exceeded expectations last spring dwindled below scores from 2021 and 2019. Math results proved more positive across the board when comparing 2022 results to those from 2021. In fourth grade, 30.7% of students met or exceeded expectations last spring, up from 28.5% in 2021 while in sixth grade, 26.3% of students met or exceeded expectations compared to 24.1% in 2021. Eighth grade results showed 32.4% of students met or exceeded expectations, up from 29.5% in 2021. Still, math scores fell short of 2019 scores in every grade level.

Mr. & Mrs. Estel Doss their th
The latest standardized test data demonstrates that some achievement gaps among Colorado student groups are shrinking — but not in the direction that indicates progress. There were some instances of students who are part of groups that have historically scored lower on the tests improving their scores. But in many cases, achievement gaps shrunk because more students who are part of groups that have historically had better academic outcomes performed worse. In other words, the losses of high-performing student groups outweighed the gains made by their peers who have traditionally scored lower.“That is not how we want to see the gap decrease,” Zurkowski said, adding that the state wants to see both groups improving their performance with lower-achieving groups increasing at a higher rate than higherachievingAchievementgroups.gaps tightened in other cases because the percentage of traditionally lower-performing students who improved in meeting or exceeding expectations was greater than the percentage of students from higher-performing groups who met or exceeded expectations, compared toAchievement2019. gaps between racial groups are also persisting. In 2021, white students met and exceeded expectations about 25 to 33 percentage points higher than Black and Hispanic students on CMAS English language arts exams. In 2022, white students met and exceeded expectations about 24 to about 30 percentage points higher than Black students and 27 to about 32 percentage points higher than Hispanic groups. In math results from 2021, white students met and exceeded expectations about 21 to 26 percentage points higher than Black and Hispanic students across grade levels. In 2022, white students met and exceeded expectations about 23 to about 29 percentage points higher than Black students and 24 to about 30 percentage points higher than Hispanic students.Meanwhile, achievement gaps between students who qualify for free and reduced price lunch — a federal measure of poverty — and their more affluent counterparts decreased compared to results from 2019. That’s because percentages of students who met or exceeded expectations decreased at a greater rate among more affluent kids than among students who qualify for subsidized school lunches. Participation on standardized tests swung back toward pre-pandemic rates Participation on CMAS tests as well as on PSAT and SAT exams rebounded this past spring, inching closer back to participation rates recorded before the pandemic. During the 2020-21 school year, participation on state standardized tests plummeted. CMAS assessments saw “a significant dip” in the number of students who completed the tests, Zurkowski said, with participation anywhere from 20 to 30 percentage points between spring 2019 and spring 2021. CMAS participation among elementary schoolers saw “significant recovery” this past school year, she said. Third, fourth and fifth graders were also close to having 95% participation in both English language arts and math, according to state
The state’s standardized tests are being used as a measure to see how students are recovering from the pandemic.

Students who took the PSAT and SAT had a few gains and mostly losses when eyeing scores for last spring against those of recent years. The percentage of 10th graders at or above the college readiness benchmark in reading and writing on the PSAT improved from 2019 while the percentage of 10th graders at or above the college readiness benchmark in math on the PSAT also improved slightly from 2019. The remainder of scores across grades were worse than outcomes from 2021 and 2019, including for ninth graders’ PSAT math results, which were 8.8 percentage points lower than 2019 results. Some achievement gaps are narrowing — but not because students are making progress

Participation on PSAT and SAT tests lagged for Black and Hispanic students as well as for students with disabilities, students learning English and students who qualify for free and reduced price lunch, accord ing to state data. For instance, while about 87% of all 11th grade students took the SAT last spring, about 85% of Black students and 85% of His panic students took the exam. Close to 73% of students with disabilities sat for the SAT while more than 78% of kids learning English and more than 82% of students eligible for free and reduced price lunch completed it.While state standardized test results provide an overview of where students are academically as they continue recovering from pandemicfueled school disruptions, they’re just one metric to help parents and educators analyze how kids are do ing, Zurkowski said. Parents and educators can better understand where students are in their academic recovery by look ing into other measures like local district tests, she said.
Meanwhile, participation on the PSAT and SAT also regained mo mentum, though still did not match participation rates in 2019. Close to 86% of Colorado ninth graders took the PSAT, up from about 73% in 2021; 85% of 10th graders took the PSAT, up from 73% in 2021; and nearly 87% of 11th graders completed the SAT, up from close to 80% in 2021.

“A clinical leader who has culti vated the business attributes is rare in today’s ever-changing healthcare landscape,” said Tonzia Buor, Vice President of Human Resources for North Suburban Medical Center. “Hollie not only pushes herself to achieve but elevates the team around her and pushes them to be the best.”
However, students in different racial, socioeconomic and learning subgroups participated in standard ized tests at lower rates than their peers, the data shows. Black students and students with disabilities were underrepresented on CMAS exams in math across grades. For example, while 94% of all third graders took the math assess ment, about 91% of Black students in third grade took that exam and about 85% of third grade students with dis abilities completed it. Students who identify as two or more races were also underrepresented on math as sessments in grades seven and eight. Participation rates of Hispanic stu dents on CMAS math exams across grades were about on par with the percentage of all students who took the exams, except for in grade eight, when Hispanic students were among the student groups overrepresented.

Lion tamers and dragon slayers
A small mountain town takes a big step
W hen we think about lions, we might think about a fierce beast, the king of the jungle, roaming the Sahara in their majestic form. Or maybe the only time we have seen a lion is at the zoo or in a movie. Either way, there is no mistaking their roar and their incredible strength.Whatabout the lion tamers, what comes to mind when we think of them? Someone controlling the lion with a whip and a stool. Again, maybe we have seen live shows where the lion tamer commands the great beasts and controls them as we watch from the arena or from our TV. In a sense we are all lion tamers as we try and control our own metaphorical lions. What are those lions in our life that may need controlling, and if not controlled can lead us down dark and desperate roads, or certainly lead us astray from our journey toward success? The lions are those things we can control, whether it’s controlling ourselves and how we react or respond to things and the habits we have. If the habits are bad, we still have the power to control them. If they are good habits, we may still have room to improve or simply not backslide. When thinking about taming our lions, it comes down to our willingness and decision to make the necessary changes and then take the required action steps to keep those lions tamed. A lion is a very beautiful yet dangerous beast. The lion can either dominate us with fear, or we can learn how to keep those lions in our life in Herecheck.aresome, and you probably have a few of your own. Anger, impatience, bad habits, instant gratification, urge to always be right, talking more than listening, being a know-it-all, not prioritizing faith, family, and friends, indulgences, obsessions, not saying “no” enough, lack of forgiveness. And any one of these lions when not tamed or controlled can absolutely wreak havoc in our life and destroy relationships. At times we all must accept our role as a lion tamer. The dragon is a fire-breathing, flying beast that is terrifying. The dragon looks to kill and destroy. The dragon is recognized as evil. Although there have been some light-hearted movies about dragons, in this illustration let’s stick with the evil ones, because they are the ones that do the most damage. That leads us to the dragon slayer. We see the dragon slayer as brave, shield and sword in hand, and most times in a shining suit of armor riding on a big and beautiful horse as they courageously seek the battle with the dragon. Their mission is not to control or tame, their mission is to slay the dragon. We become dragon slayers when we identify those things and people in our life that we just need to remove. The metaphorical dragons in our life are many times either found within our hearts or in between our ears. Or they are found in such a bad habit, a habit that cannot be tamed or moderated, but a bad habit that needs to be slayed. Then there are those people in our lives, they are our family, friends, coworkers, neighbors, and others who are close to us. Some are fellow dragon slayers, who will go into battle with us to help us overcome challenging times or hardships. Some need a dragon slayer because they may not be up for the fight themselves. And then there are those other people-dragons who cause us stress through their negative attitude, condescending remarks, and toxic influence or input in our lives. How about you? Are there lions in your life that need to be tamed? Are there dragons in your life that need to be slayed? Do you need a fellow dragon slayer to help you in the battle? I would love to hear your story at gotonorton@ gmail.com, and when we can be a lion tamer or a dragon slayer as needed, it really will be a better than good life.

WORDSWINNING Michael Norton Allen Best Crested Butte, a one-time coal mining town, has now turned its back on natural gas. Town councilors unanimously agreed that any new building erected on 60 vacant lots cannot be served by gas. Major remodels must beIt’selectric-ready.Colorado’sfirst natural gas ban, although 80 other jurisdictions around the country have taken similar“Theremeasures.was a lot of talk at council about it being a bold decision, but I don’t see it that way,” said Crested Butte Mayor Ian Billick. “Not only is it what we need to do, but we have all the tools to do it cost effectively.” Billick arrived at Crested Butte several decades ago as a biologist at the nearby Rocky Mountain Biological Laboratory. Many experiments there have focused on the effects of warming temperatures on existing plants. One experiment involving year-round heat lamps specifically foretells a shift from the showy wildflowers of summer to a duller ecosystem dominated by Temperaturessagebrush.continue to creep higher, but at more than 8,900 feet in elevation, Crested Butte still has chilly winters. The overnight temperature during January averages 6 below.Thetakeaway here is that if Crested Butte is comfortable with the replacement technologies for natural gas, most other places in Colorado should be, too. Instead, we’re still tethering tens of thousands of homes and other new buildings each year to natural gas pipelines.Denverand Boulder have taken steps to push alternatives. Here and there individual action has occurred. In Westminster, John Avenson in 2017 ordered his natural gas line stubbed after maximizing the passive solar potential of his house. In Arvada, Norbert Klebl developed 30 homes without natural gas in a project called GEOS. In Basalt, two affordable housing complexes have been built without natural gas. An all-electric hotel is under construction in Snowmass. North Vista Highlands is slowly taking shape in Pueblo. In Fort Collins, plans have been drawn up for Montava, a 500-unit project. We have been pivoting slowly, but the transition is accelerating. Granted, electrical generation still causes atmospheric pollution. Emissions will dramatically drop by 2030 as Colorado’s utilities close nine of today’s ten coal-burning units. Colorado legislators in 2021 passed several laws that collectively seek to squeeze emissions from our buildings. The laws reflect the state’s political makeup. Colorado may be dominated by Democrats, but it’s still a purplish state. In other words, don’t expect a wave of Crested Butte-type mandates such as occurred in California beginning in 2019. Colorado’s approach has been to offer more carrots than wield sticks. We walk on a different balancing beam. Most important among Colorado’s legislative squeezes is SB21-264, which requires Colorado’s four regulated natural gas utilities — Xcel Energy, Black Hills Energy, Atmos, and Colorado Natural Gas — to incrementally reduce emissions. The law identifies several pathways. They can, for example, help customers improve efficiency of buildings, so buildings need less gas to provide comfort. They can augment their methane obtained by drilling with that diverted from sewage plants, feedlots and other sources. The first of their plans will be filed with state regulators in 2023. The bottom line is that the gas companies are selling land lines. They’ll have to adjust their business models. The Colorado Public Utilities Commission has now set out to create rules for evaluating these clean-heat plans. In filings beginning in December, real estate agents, home builders and even some municipalities have argued that converting from natural gas will add costs. That was the same message in recent meetings in Montrose and Grand Junction. In this complicated story, their message was simple: Don’t change. In Pueblo, at a meeting across the highway from the steel mill, more nuance was evident. Laborers International Union representatives worried about how this will impact their livelihoods. Electricians, they should do fine in this shift to beneficial electrification. A local resident had no quarrel with eliminating natural gas but worried about the high cost of electricity in Pueblo. Reflecting later, Laura Getts explained the complexities of carbon reduction in buildings. She’s the business development manager for San Isabel Electric, a cooperative serving rural areas of Pueblo and two other counties in southern Colorado. They are among the poorest in the state. Converting from propane, even in existing buildings, is an easy sell, because of the cost of propane. Replac-

In metro Denver’s more affluent northwest suburbs, city officials are also having the same conversation about the balancing beam. Christine Brinker of the Southwest Energy Efficiency Project reports a draft policy would give builders a choice between either all-electric or natural gas with extra energy efficiency. Unless a way can be found to cost-effectively sequester carbon emissions, natural gas will slowly be phased out in coming decades. Ironically, the arrival of natural gas was one reason that coal mining ended in Crested Butte in 1952 after a sevendecade run.

BRIEFS ing natural gas in existing buildings is a tougher sell because it remains relatively inexpensive. The economics of all-electric in new buildings are compelling, she says. Even so, San Isabel has struggled to persuade most builders. Pueblo itself still has a goal of shifting to 100% renewables by 2035. The Pueblo Energy Advisory Commission, of which Getts is a member, is struggling to construct that pathway. The challenge, she says is to “reduce carbon emissions and do it rapidly and strategically without leaving people feeling powerless to make their own energy choices.”

The Ravens took second at the Montrose Red Hawks and Grand Junction Tiger Invitational after a two-day tourney that finished Aug. 17 at Battlement Mesa Golf Course.Bradley Weinmaster fired a twoday score of 140, good for third place. Carter Seis finished with a 151, and Will Baillete carded a 159.
“We have a lot of identified issues,” Krueger said. “But I like to quote Albert Einstein, who said, ‘If I had an hour to solve a problem, I’d spend 55 minutes thinking about the problem and five minutes thinking about solutions.’ We need to have all of the stakeholders at the table and find solutions that work for everybody – the schools, community leaders and the officials. We have to be broad in ourAnotherthinking.”idea was to educate school staff on the ways to provide hospitality to game officials. “Most of our schools do a great job. But we also have more than 90 new athletic directors this year,” he said. “We have to train people to give our officials a room to change, a bottle of water. If we show appreciation to the officials, that goes a long way.”Krueger said moving games off the traditional Friday night schedule has a big impact. “Officials are a vital part of the success of our program. We know there is going to be a lot of work ahead of us,” Krueger said. “It’s something we deal with daily. We meet with the assignors across the state. We’re meeting with the leagues. We’ve headed out south, out east. It’s a real unified effort.”
DENVER — Former Brighton High School football coach Jeff Giger couldn’t have asked for a better result in his new assignment as football coach at Erie High School. After three years with the Bulldogs, Giger moved up the road to take over the reins of the Tigers. The only thing that could have made it better was a win in the state 4A title game last year. Chatfield won the contest 41-34.
Road warrior The award for the farthest distance traveled to media day belonged to Montezuma-Cortez High School golfer Thayer Plewe. Travel is a must for his team. Sometimes, it’s same-day travel to and from a tournament.“It’safactor for league tournaments. We have to travel 4 ½ hours and do overnight trips,” he said. “We travel so we can compete. Our team does that because our coaches are so supportive of us, and our school is so supportive of us.” Some of that travel is overnight. “We call it ‘trunk to tee,’ where you don’t really get a warm-up,” he said. “You just grab the bag and go. Having to travel and seeing the support we get from our community is awesome.”Thisyear, Montezuma Cortez, which has an enrollment of about 600 students, will host one of the class 3A regional golf tournaments in September.

Other topics/new faces Game officials weren’t the only thing on Krueger’s mind. CHSAA and the Denver Broncos teamed up to further interest in girls’ flag football. It could become a CHSAA-sanctioned sport in two to three years.
DENVER – Even though Colorado High School Activities Association Commissioner Mike Krueger admitted to feeling like he was “drinking water from a fire hose” early in his new job, he outlined some specific goals during CHSAA’s media day at Empower Field on Aug. 15. One of those has to do with the shortage of game officials. Before anyone’s football season could begin, schools were changing dates and times to make sure there were enough referees to work the games. He said there were some short-term answers, but he’s focusing on a longtermPartstrategy.oftheeffort involves the creation of a task force from schools, officials and various communities. One piece of that is asking soon-tobe former high-school athletes if they want to continue on as game officials in their specific sport. Another is the education of officials.
“We hope we can continue to expand and offer opportunities to girls who want to play football at the high school level,” Krueger said. “There’s been an increase in participation by females in football. They love to play.”Krueger spent the last four years working with U.S.A. Football, “where I gained an incredible background of medical knowledge and sports science all the way down to youthKruegerfootball.”alsointroduced Mike Book, one of CHSAA’s new assistant commissioners. He’ll be in charge of golf, swimming and diving and the state’s officials. He takes over for Tom Robinson, who passed away earlier this year. Another new assistant commissioner, John Sullivan, was on hand. He’s in charge of baseball, football, softball and wrestling.
Prairie View High School Golf Keagan Bond of Prairie View shot a 5-over 75 to take team medalist honors at the Front Range League meet at Flatirons Golf Course Aug. 17. Payton Crawford had a 78, and Cole Crawford finished with an 85. The ThunderHawks were 11th in the team standings.

Another quarterback/running back who returns is senior Evan Rearick.“Ourout-of-conference games are going to be tough,” he said. “But we’re worrying about Ponderosa in Week 1. We’ve got to focus on that one.”Junior Jackson Cowgill, who recorded 46 tackles in 14 games a season ago, said the Tigers are a closer“There’steam.more commonality. We hang out with each other,” he said. “Teams before last year didn’t do that as “ThisGigermuch.”agreed.hasbeen one of the most fun summers,” he said. “I’ve been a part of it every day. It’s been fun.”
“It’s been a great transition,” Giger said during the Colorado High School Activities Association’s media day Aug. 15 at Empower Field. “The energy, the momentum has been great. It was a change that had to happen, and I’ve loved every minute.”Mostof those responsible for that success return to the Tigers’ fold for 2022. That includes running back Blake Barnett (1234 carries, 1,049 yards and 23 touchdowns). He also threw for more than 2,500 yards and 27“We’retouchdowns.amore athletic team,” said Barnett, who starts his junior year at Erie. “I’m focusing more on being a quarterback. A lot of situations I saw last year will pay off. I threw two picks (in the title game), so I’ve been working on why I did that.”

“Most of the addition (of new club members) came in the last few years,” said former CMS president Ed Lubow. “The majority are there because they want to find something they can take home and eat.”
P opping up alongside the wildflowers, near creek beds and scattered through meadows in Colorado’s forests are a rainbow variety of fungi, which an increasing number of foragers are taking advantage of. Whether foragers are gathering some of Colorado’s prize edible species or just exploring to identify and learn, the Colorado Mycological Society has seen a hike in the number of people signing up for guided forays and club meetings.
Current CMS membership is over 1,000 people, Lubow said, adding that a huge draw has been the ability to gather mushrooms in the wild that would be expensive to purchase from a grocery store, such as porcini, chanterelles, morels and matsutake.

He also recommends beginner foragers invest in a regional book on mushroom and fungi“Therespecies.area number of local mycological societies,” he said. “Go join one, because you’ll be around people with the same interest and with more experience, so you’ll learn relatively quickly.

From the southern San Juans to the Flat Tops in Steamboat Springs, there’s bound to be a bounty.However, public lands have different requirements for foragers for mushrooms. National and state parks do not allow foraging, while national forests typically require a permit. Depending on the ranger district, some permits are free and others can cost around $20 per year. Even urban parks in the Front Range are home to fungi finds, though it’s less likely to find anything worth eating. Some mushrooms in urban areas can be interesting because they’re not local, but accidentally brought in, Lubow said. Lubow cautioned that it’s always on the foragers to know what lands they are on and the rules of the land.Prime mushroom season in Colorado runs from mid-July to late September, though certain species thrive outside of those months as well. Altitude also plays a role in determining what species foragers are likely to find. “For Colorado, the key thing is moisture,” Lubow said of ideal mushroom conditions.

Gear for gathering mushrooms includes a knife for cutting stalks out of the ground or off trees, a brush for cleaning dirt off and a structured container, such as a basket, cardboard box or mesh bag. Plastic is not recommended because it can speed up spoilage. Once on the trail, focus on the forest floor and tree trunks and it likely won’t be long before you notice mushrooms under brush, at the base of Aspens or on a fallen log. If foraging in a more urban or popular area, be sure to avoid gathering where there’s dog poop or pesticides or herbicides used. Beware that some of the prettiest-looking mushrooms, like the red and white-spotted amanita muscaria, can be toxic if ingested.

There are a number of important parts of the mushroom to look at in order to identify it, according to Vera Stuckey Evenson’s “Mushrooms of the Rocky Mountain Region.” First, observe the environment, since some species are associated with certain trees and whether it’s growing in the ground or on bark will help define it. On the actual mushroom itself, look at the cap for colors and textures; examine underneath the cap to see whether it has gills, teeth or pores; check the stem for coloring or patterns; and smell it for any distinctive odors. Also be sure to get the base of the mushroom from the ground, which can also be a helpful feature. For species that look alike, sometimes a spore print, where the cap of the mushroom is removed and placed on paper to capture falling spores, or chemical tinctures, which react with certain species, are needed for a the ranger district, some permits are free and others can cost around Beware that some of the prettired and white-spotted amanita

BY JESSE PAUL THE COLORADO SUN One by one, the environmentalists walked to the microphone to sing the praises of U.S. Sen. John Hickenlooper.BreannaGonzalez, the Colorado field coordinator for Hispanics Enjoying Camping, Hunting, and the Outdoors, thanked Hickenlooper for his “important leadership” in advancing Democrats’ climate, health care and spending bill in the U.S. Senate. Kelly Nordini, executive director of Conservation Colorado, called Hickenlooper “instrumental.” And Chris Markuson, Western states director for the BlueGreen Alliance, called the junior senator from Colorado “integral.”“JohnHickenlooper can talk to a wooden post and get him to vote with him,” said Rosemary Rodriguez, a longtime Democratic activist and elected official, speaking at a news conference Aug. 9 at Denver’s City Park to celebrate the bill.Two years after a Democratic primary for U.S. Senate in which Hickenlooper was criticized for being too cozy with the oil and gas industry and weak on combating climate change, he is being hailed as a savior of what’s being called the most important climate bill ever considered by Congress. Hickenlooper, the man who once boasted about drinking hydraulic fracturing fluid with Halliburton executives, made legislation possible that analysts believe will cut greenhouse gas emissions by nearly 40% by 2050. “This is the single greatest climate rescue initiative in the history of the planet,” Hickenlooper declared. “No other country has ever done something this massive.”Hickenlooper is credited with helping rekindle stalled negotiations with U.S. Sen. Joe Manchin, a West Virginia Democrat who had stonewalled his party’s aspirations of passing sweeping climate legislation. Hickenlooper used his private-sector connections to get industry leaders to keep the pressure on Manchin and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, a New York Democrat. He also commissioned a model from the University of Pennsylvania to alleviate Manchin’s economic fears that the bill could worsen inflation.
Senator John Hickenlooper
“I did try to keep everybody positive,” Hickenlooper told CNN. CNN also credited Hickenlooper with helping resolve a tax revenue issue that arose after a $14 billion tax increase on some wealthy hedge fund managers and private equity executives was stripped from the legislation to appease Arizona’s Sen. Kyrsten Sinema, also a Democrat. Hickenlooper proposed a 1% excise tax on companies’ stock buybacks to make up for the revenue lost in Sinema’s changes, an amendment that was adopted. The bill is now awaiting President Joe Biden’s signature after being passed by Democrats in the Senate and House. “Thank God John Hickenlooper came to the United States Senate,” U.S. Sen. Michael Bennet, a Colorado Democrat, said at the City Park news conference. Joe Salazar, a former state representative and climate activist who has been highly critical of Hickenlooper’s environmental record as governor, isn’t ready to call the senator a savior. But he gave Hickenlooper “serious credit”

Senator from Colorado played role in climate bill
What it does
Jeremy Nichols, climate and energy program director at WildEarth Guardians, a group that has been one of Hickenlooper’s loudest critics, said after Hickenlooper’s work on the climate legislation he’s willing to give him a chance.“Hedid stick his neck out and he’s definitely thrown his weight behind it,” Nichols said, “and we’re pleased to see that. This could be a new leaf. We’ll see.” Still, Nichols is frustrated that the legislation made concessions around oil and gas leasing on federal land, and he’s disappointed Hickenlooper didn’t do more to fight those. The concessions, along with a promise that the Biden administration will support the finishing of a natural gas pipeline in his state, were made to get Manchin on WildEarthboard.Guardians’ frustration with Hickenlooper ran so deep that it and other groups sent a letter to then-presidential candidate Hillary Clinton imploring the Democrat not to consider Hickenlooper for interior secretary should she win in 2016. When Hickenlooper, a geologist who once worked for an oil and gas company, ran for the Senate in 2020, he was criticized by Salazar and his Democratic primary opponent, former House Speaker Andrew Romanoff, who ran campaign ads highlighting Hickenlooper’s oil and gas Duringties.his 2020 presidential run, before he switched to the Senate race, Hickenlooper wrote an opinion piece published in The Washington Post criticizing the Green New Deal. He said the proposal from some liberal Democrats “sets unachievable goals” and “take(s) an approach that limits our prospects for Hickenloopersuccess.”wrote that the private sector needed to be viewed as a partner, not an enemy, in the effort to tackle climate change. He cited his work in 2014 to adopt methane emissions regulations, which became a national model. Hickenlooper, in an interview Aug. 10 with The Colorado Sun, said his work on the congressional climate bill, which also deals with health care and taxes, was informed largely by his belief that the private sector should be consulted as the U.S. works to tackle climate change. It’s full of clean and renewable energy tax incentives for individuals and corporations.“It’s always going to take some time,” said Hickenlooper, who has been studying climate change since 1979, when he got his master’s degree in earth and environmental science. “If you want to do it too fast you’re going to end up with some sort of a revolution.
The one thing about the legislative process is you end up with a compromise, one after another. In this case, we did better than most people thought we would given the players and the way that the cards had been Environmentalistsdealt.”
like Nichols and Salazar say the bill is far from perfect. The United Nations, for instance, says the world should aim for net zero carbon emissions by the early 2050s to limit the Earth’s temperature from rising more than 2.7 degrees Fahrenheit “The bill doesn’t go far enough,” Salazar said. “But the bill goes a hell of a lot farther than we have right now. This is a major leap forward.”Hickenlooper agrees that the work is just beginning. “It’s not perfect,” he said at the City Park news conference. “There’s a lot more to be done. But this bill was written and passed in the context of today.”

The bill would invest nearly $375 billion over the decade in climate change-fighting strategies, including investments in renewable energy production and tax rebates for consumers to buy new or used electric vehicles. It’s broken down to include $60 billion for a clean energy manufacturing tax credit and $30 billion for a production tax credit for wind and solar, seen as ways to boost and support the industries that can help curb the country’s dependence on fossil fuels. The bill also gives tax credits for nuclear power and carbon capture technology that oil companies such as Exxon Mobil have invested millions of dollars to advance. The bill would impose a new fee on excess methane emissions from oil and gas drilling while giving fossil fuel companies access to more leases on federal lands and waters.Alate addition pushed by Sen. Kyrsten Sinema, D-Ariz., and other Democrats in Arizona, Nevada and Colorado would designate $4 billion to combat a mega-drought in the West, including conservation efforts in the Colorado River Basin, which nearly 40 million Americans rely on for drinking water.Forconsumers, there are tax breaks as incentives to go green. One is a 10-year consumer tax credit for renewable energy investments in wind and solar. There are tax breaks for buying electric vehicles, including a $4,000 tax credit for purchase of used electric vehicles and $7,500 for new ones. In all, Democrats believe the strategy could put the country on a path to cut greenhouse gas emissions 40% by 2030, and “would represent the single biggest climate investment in U.S. history, by far.”

“That number has got to change. It’s got to come up. That’s why I’m here today, letting you all know we need to increase awareness,” Starks said.Another issue was that people who are eligible are confused about whether they actually are. Starks spelled it out: If you’re on any type of federal assistance, you’re eligible. The FCC is also working specifically with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development to streamline enrollment for Section 8 households through a data sharing and computer matching agreement. An additional $5 million in grants is dedicated to improve that 10% enrollment for residents in federal housing.Residents of Hirschfeld Towers happen to live in one of the Denver Housing Authority properties that already offers free or discounted internet service to residents. Through partnerships with Starry Internet, Comcast, PCs for People and Live Wire Networks, the apartments provide internet for about $10 a month. But a concern that resident Miguel Lopez had about ACP was what happens when the money runs out?“There are a lot who do know about it but don’t access it, it’s because they’re unfamiliar with supposedly hidden fees and hidden costs or even just the end of it,” Lopez said. “Why get used to something that’s going to get taken away fromStarksyou?”assured residents at the meeting that there’s enough money in the $14 billion program to “last for a number of years,” though it would take an act of Congress to extend the program and provide funding.“Youare not going to get charged the minute the $14.2 billion ends. There’s going to be a lot of notice,” Starks said. “And by the way, as soon as we understand that the number is starting to draw down, I can assure you that I’m going to be in front of Congress along with many other colleagues to make sure we get reauthorized and reappropriated. But what I don’t want people to miss here today is that today is your day to get Manyenrolled.”internet providers already offer some sort of discounted program to low-income households. In May, the White House announced that 20 major companies that cover 80% of America had agreed to provide 100-megabit service for less than $30 a month to help make the service free with the ACP subsidy. Comcast was among them. The company, which has a $9.95 monthly internet plan offering speeds of 50 mbps, added a ‘plus’ tier to offer 100 mbps for $29.99. The cable and internet provider is working with the state on its digital navigator program, which is intended to not just get internet access to those who need it or can’t afford it, but help them understand how to better use the internet. Comcast also is providing $1.1 million in cash and in-kind support to the state and community organizations for their digital equity initiatives.
“A quote I’d like to talk about comes from William Gibson. He’s a science fiction writer who said, ‘The future is already here. It’s just not evenly distributed,’” Starks said during a news conference. “And that is absolutely true. There are households out there that we are working hard to make sure they get 5G and gigabit speeds. But there are too many millions of Americans who still don’t have fundamental basic internet.”InColorado, about 761,000 households are eligible for the program, based on folks already participating in federal programs such as free and reduced school lunch, Pell Grants, Lifeline, Medicaid and Section 8 housing assistance. As of Aug. 15, 154,703 Colorado households were enrolled, according to the Universal Service Administrative Company. That’s 20.3% of eligible households. Nationwide, the numbers are higher. About 13 million, or 27% of 48 million eligible households, have enrolled in the program, which can be done online, by mail or through a participating local internet provider. ACP is the spin-off of the pandemic’s Emergency Broadband Benefit, which provided $50 a month and had meager participation in Colorado and ended on Dec. 31. Starks said some issues have been addressed. One notable one was the lack of funding to promote the program. Earlier this month, the FCC launched “Your Home, Your Internet,” a one-year pilot program to provide $5 million in grants to local community organizations and partners to help residents already living in federally subsidized housing enroll in ACP. To date, only 10% of those residents have — or about 500,000 out of 48 million households.
“When it comes to broadband at home, availability and affordability are only part of the story. Recent studies show digital navigators are
About 80% of Colorado households eligible for $30 to $75 a month to pay for internet service don’t seem to want the free benefit. Or perhaps, they just don’t know aboutThat’sit. why Geoffrey Starks, a commissioner with the U.S. Federal Communications Commission, dropped by A.B. Hirschfeld Towers in Denver on Aug. 17. He wanted to see if he could pique anyone’s interest in the federal Affordable Connectivity Program. The $14.2 billion program provides $30 for households — and $75 a month for tribal households — and also offers $100 to pay for internet devices.

Gershberg said the idea of making a small improvement in someone’s dayto-day experience, hopefully one day leading to a bigger change, is the idea behind Sleep Tight Colorado. “Think local. Think small,” Gershberg said. “Don’t think you need to save the world and get overwhelmed by that thought.”
Still, Rout said delivering a sleeping bag could lay an important foundation for eventually getting an unhoused person into housing. Because unhoused people are focused more on where they can eat and sleep for the night than a longterm plan of a job and housing, Rout said first meeting their basic needs is crucial for later success.
“I think if you asked the average resource provider in Denver if they’re adequately resourced they would say ‘no,’ and I think if you asked the average service professor in Larimer County, they would also say ‘no,’” Rout said. “I think just in general, in the whole country and in our state and our county, the problem is larger than the resources being devoted to solving it.”
Colorado officials are also working on a statewide plan to address internet access with a goal to get 99% of the state connected to broadband by 2027, said Dianne Primavera, Colorado’s lieutenant governor.“High-speed internet is no longer a luxury, it’s a necessity,” she said.

Michael Wise, treasurer for St. Clare’s Ministries, said the group’s small goal of getting food, sleeping bags and clothing to unhoused individuals in Denver’s Baker neighborhood can’t change the whole world, but can hopefully make a small dent in a systemic problem.
“When someone is experiencing homelessness, they’re not thinking about what they need to do in three years, they’re thinking about right now,” Rout said. “People need to have those basic needs met before they can attend to longer-term goals.”
Each time an unhoused person is forcibly removed by police, officers also take their belongings, so Wise said the group often hands out new sleeping bags each month to the same people.

“We don’t deal with finding homes and shelters for them, we don’t have the capacity to be able to do that, but we do have the capacity to feed them,” Wise said. “We can do that, and that’s what we’re concentrating on.”
“It’s thousands of people on an annual basis who are experiencing homelessness in Larimer County,” RoutBecausesaid. its homeless population is the largest in the state, Rout said most state resources are allocated to Denver and its surrounding areas. Still, Rout said Denver resource centers likely feel under-resourced.
BY ALISON BERG, JULIO SANDOVAL ROCKY MOUNTAIN PBS When the 2008 recession hit, Meredith Gershberg knew she needed to make a change. Her lifestyle remained largely the same as the world seemed to crumble around her — colleagues lost jobs, friends lost homes and the unhoused population around her grew. Taking lessons from a family member in New York City, Gershberg created a goal of gathering 75 to 90 sleeping bags per year and donating them to the ever-growing unhoused population in Colorado. After raising that amount in just four months, Gershberg formed Sleep Tight Colorado, a nonprofit she runs in addition to her full-time job, with the goal of gathering sleeping bags and distributing them to the state’s unhoused community. Sleep Tight Colorado takes donations from the public and purchases bags on its own. Bags are then distributed to nonprofit organizations that work directly with people experiencing homelessness.“Wearesolucky that in the wintertime when we go home if we’re cold, we tap the thermostat to go up, and in the summertime, when we’re really hot, we turn on the a/c,” Gershberg said. “So many individuals don’t have that luxury, so our main goal is to get sleeping bags to individuals who find themselves in need of a warm night’s sleep.”Though Sleep Tight Colorado is based in Denver, the organization delivers services to populations across the state.David Rout, executive director of Homeward Alliance, a homelessness services nonprofit in Fort Collins, said his group serves about 2,500 unhoused people annually throughout Larimer County. The group works primarily with individuals, so Rout said the number of homeless families in the area likely exceeds what he sees each day.
Sheehan said teachers go into the field because they are passionate about working with kids and do not expect high pay or recognition, but some form of appreciation after working through a pandemic, a series of school shootings and skyrocketing costs with stagnant wages would have helped low morale.“Educators don’t do this for recognition or appreciation, but there comes a point in time where you just get burnt out,” Shaheen said. “There is a deeper issue, and it has nothing to do with the educators, because we’re putting the time and the blood, sweat and tears in everyday and we’re not being appreciated or fromKlaiberacknowledged.”saidshefeltpressureparentsandadministrators to create a perfect environment in the classroom without the support to make that happen.
Madi Shaheen, a former teacher in the Denver area, echoed Klaiber’s concerns and said the blame for kids not performing well in a pandemic-riddled classroom often fell on teachers.
Baca-Oehlert also pointed to the trauma students have experienced over the last two years, from having their lives put on pause due to the pandemic to watching their peers die in shootings. Teachers have been unreasonably expected to provide mental health care for their students, Baca-Oehlert added. “Our students have experienced collective trauma, and our educators have little resources to meet their mental health and social needs,” Oehler said. “That weighs on our educators because we know students can’t learn if they’re not feeling safe and healthy, so when you don’t have the resources and support and you have mounting pressure on you, that adds to the burnout that our educators are feeling.”Asthe school year ended with one of the deadliest school shootings in history, Baca-Oehlert said teachers and students are left fearing for their lives with not much reassurance from those who are supposed to keep them safe.
“Of course we don’t expect that many people to retire or resign, but it is a red flag and a warning sign that teachers are feeling stressed, stretched and burnt out,” said Amie Baca-Oehlert, the union’s president. “This past year, many have decided, was one of the hardest they’ve ever experienced.”
“It was always the teachers fault; the teachers weren’t doing enough,” Shaheen said. “There has to be a stop somewhere where teachers no longer feel like they’re the reason why students aren’t performing well.”
A survey from the Colorado Education Association — the largest educator’s union in the state, representing more than 39,000 educators — found that 67% of their members have considered leaving the field since the COVID-19 pandemic flipped education on its head.
“It feels like if you haven’t been successful in creating this happy, calm environment where all students are complying with rules, then you’ve failed as a teacher,” Klaiber said. “Teachers are used to being in their own little classroom bubble, and unless you’re crying for help and being very explicit in what you need, you might not get help.”Inthe education association’s survey, Baca-Oehlert said many teachers also felt they lacked autonomy in their curriculum, particularly as hot-button issues like Critical Race Theory, teaching about LGBTQ+ rights and wearing in schools made their way into the spotlight.“Alotof people are feeling that their professional voices were not respected,” Baca-Oehlert said. “The ones that are closest to the students are rarely asked their opinion and their professional expertise, so that certainty discourages people.”
“The fear and the worry that you may walk into your school on any given day and not walk out, that’s really hard for our educators, for our students, for our families to think about,” Baca-Oehlert said. “That is a very real fear that our educators carry.”

Sarah Klaiber, an elementary school teacher who has taught in the Denver metro area for nine years, said the career has always come with challenges: kids with behavioral issues, communicating with parents and working in a high-stress environment for relatively low pay. Klaiber felt equipped to deal with those challenges, but things reached a breaking point when COVID-19 hit in 2020. “I don’t think that most teachers, including myself, have gotten the support that they need from parents and administrators,” Klaiber said. “I think that administrators, for the most part, are doing their best as well; I just think everyone is very stretched thin and there are a lot of needs in every classroom.”
After a year of teaching almost entirely online, Klaiber said students struggled to return to the traditional classroom, where they were expected to sit still, not speak out of turn and pay attention for eight“They’vehours.lost a level of autonomy that they had when they were at home,” Klaiber said. “The fact that we expect 8 year olds to sit and be silent for most of the day is starting to feel unfair to them.”

Cali fornia law provides that, for purposes of division of property upon dissolution of a marriage or domestic partnership or upon legal separation, property acquired by the parties during marriage or domestic partnership in joint form is presumed to be community property. If either party to this action should die before the jointly held community property is divided, the language in the deed that characterizes how title is held (i.e., joint tenancy, tenants in common, or community property) will be controlling, and not the community property presumption. You should consult your attorney if you want the community property presumption to be written into the recorded title to the property.

The legislation allocated more than $2.5 million this year for the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment to target pollution in communities with lower incomes and more people of color by creating a state-level environmental justice program. The department hired a team of workers focused on environmental justice, formed advisory groups and launched a new data tool to track environmental risks across the state. Later this year, program staffers will announce an estimated $400,000 in grants for projects that track and curb pollution in neighborhoods facing disproportionate environmental health hazards. The employees and advisory groups spent much of the last year visiting those neighborhoods, including through an October tour that Ruiz-Parrilla led around Globeville and Elyria-Swansea.
Last
The tool program officials developed to track environmental health hazards, called Colorado EnviroScreen, helped them rank the risk in counties and census tracts based on dozens of health and environmental factors. The Colorado tool, which has a public website, is based on a similar one run by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. The Colorado version has more state-specific details and data, including asthma hospitalizations, cancer rates and proximity to traffic or other sources of“Thispollution.isthe tip of the iceberg,” said David Rojas, an environmental epidemiologist and professor at Colorado State University who helped develop the data tool. “If something is highlighted in the map, probably there are many more things happening at the same location.”
Rojas, who also sits on the new Environmental Justice Advisory Board, is already interested in adding more health data and training residents to use the tool, he said. Though it’s not a solution for areas that bear the brunt of Colorado’s pollution, he hopes the information helps residents question state officials about their environmental problems.“Mygoal is that this tool can help trigger the demand from the community to say, ‘We need attention here,’” he said.

Once the environmental justice grants are available, state officials said they hope it invites a flurry of proposals from local governments, tribal nations and community organizations.Theadvisory groups will also make recommendations to the Polis administration and state lawmakers about environmental justice policy.
A draft of those recommendations created in June included changing the names of power plants named after Native American tribes, such as the GeneratingComancheStation in Pueblo and the Cherokee Generating Station in Denver, both of which are operated by Xcel Energy. The Environmental Justice Act also created an ombudsperson role within the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment who will be responsible for creating a system the public can use to file complaints about environmental justice problems.

“True community engagement with disproportionately impacted communities takes relationship building,” said state Sen. Faith Winter, a Democrat from Westminster who sponsored the legislation that started the environmental justice program. “They’re working on listening, but that’s a culture shift as well for these Ruiz-Parrillaagencies.”saidthat while she appreciates state and local interest in Globeville’s issues, agencies often “pass the buck” when it comes to taking responsibility and finding solutions.“Wedon’t want them to see us with pity, we don’t want them to see us as contaminated. Because we’re not,” she said. “What we want them to do is to fix the problem, and it hasn’t happened yet.”
The Court, before it can terminate the parent-child legal relationship, must find that a continuation of the relationship is likely to result in grave risk of death or serious injury to the child or that your conduct or condition as a parent renders you unable or unwilling to give the child reasonable parental care.

Sandra Ruiz-Parrilla has organized walking tours, planted trees and curated art exhibits to draw attention to the environmental hazards in Denver’s Globeville neighborhood.There’s the constant noise and foul smells coming from construction sites, Interstate 70 and the nearby Purina pet-food plant, she said. There is also the soil under the homes, contaminated by industrial smelters from decades past. But getting state officials to go beyond increasing their awareness and taking steps to fix those problems has been a long process, she said.“It’s hard to really fight and raise your voice, because they don’t really hear us in our neighborhoods,” Ruiz-Parrilla said in Spanish. More than a year after Gov. Jared Polis signed the Environmental Justice Act into law, state officials say they are working to earn the trust of Coloradans who are disproportionately impacted by pollution and other environmental risks.
Tracking pollution in state’s most impacted areas Trying to get state to take action has been lengthy process
