Brighton charter: Not broken, no need to fix

floats

Nothing seems to be broken with Brighton’s charter, City Councilors agreed May 2, so there’s likely no need to change it.

“I still say this is a solution in search of a problem,” Councilor Tom Green.

Councilors first heard a report from City Attorney Alicia Calderon in April that outlined a process to update the charter. Councilors would create a citizens committeeone resident from each ward and a former member of the most recent

We’ve added 11 bays to

charter commission.

Brighton’s current charter was updated and adopted by voters in 2000.

That committee would review the city’s current charter and report back in 2024 with a list of suggestions that councilors could review and send to voters if they approved.

But councilors passed on the idea in April. They still hadn’t warmed up to the idea by the May meeting.

Councilor Clint Blackhurst suggested simply hiring a consultant to review the charter.

“I’ve thought about the process, the way we did our first charter, and there was a lot of infighting,” Blackhurst said. “That charter was turned down by the citizens. It took a second committee to rehab that and actually pass. It turned out to be a two- to three-year process. I’m

going to suggest something different than a citizen’s committee. I’m going to suggest we hire a consultant who is an expert in the area of city charters and have them go through our charter and make recommendations to the city council.”

Councilor Matt Johnston said the idea had merit.

“That is a better way to utilize our time and change the charter,” Johnston said. “One thing I’d amend. I always wish we could have the authors come back and say ‘Here’s what we meant with this constitution thing, because you are doing it way wrong. Here’s what we really meant.’“

But Green said he’s not sure the charter needs fixing, but said a consultant makes more sense than a citizen committee.

“I would much rather have a consultant look this thing over and

make some suggestions, rather than just let a charter review committee free and let them pick whatever they pick,” Green said.

Councilor Peter Padilla said he agreed with Green that the charter is fine.

“I absolutely believe this is a solution in search of a problem, too,” Padilla said. “I don’t’ think we have a problem and I’m not in favor of spending any money on a consultant, either. I’d much rather hear from a few of the people on staff if we have things that are problematic or in conflict between the charter and our municipal code. If hiring a consultant would help realize that, I guess I don’t have a major objection.”

Councilors took no action after their discussion, letting the issue drop, and Calderon said the City Manager can hire a consultant.

4-H holds public speech contest

irty-one 4-H members from ve di erent counties participated in the rst annual Front Range Regional 4-H Speech and Demonstration contest.

4-H Members from Adams, Arapahoe, Je erson, Boulder, and Weld counties, met at the CSU Spur Educational building in Denver on April 22, ready to present their prepared speeches and demonstrations.

Topics covered a variety of subject, incluiding “How to clicker train your cat”, several presentations on how to care for a variety of di erent animals, steps on how to bail hay, how to be successful, and many more.

Contestants had to follow speci c guidelines. ey had to present within their age group and within a certain time frame and were judged by a panel of judges.

Following the judging, participants were recognized for their e orts. Several participants received awards and will compete at the 4-H State Public Speech Contest during the 2023 Colorado State Fair in Pueblo contest in August.

irteen of the thirty-one participants are members from our very

own local, Good Luck 4-H Club from Adams County, and several of those Good Luck members will be moving on to State competition.

It was an amazing experience and everyone put in a lot of time and hard work. It’s not an easy task to get up in front a crowd of people and talk and present. Being a 4-H member helps us kids learn lifelong

skills to help build a better future for ourselves!

is was the rst of many more successful Regional 4-H Speech and Demonstration contests and we encourage all 4H members to participate in next year’s event!

Receiving and giving light and love

Do you have people that you get to see often, maybe daily, weekly, or monthly, and whenever you do have the opportunity to meet with them, they always seem joyful bringing light and love to the atmosphere? Some of us are truly blessed to have a few of these bright and cheerful people in our lives, making us feel better whenever we are together.

Some of the folks who bring me such great joy whenever we meet, speak, or even text seem to know exactly when to reach out as there are times I am facing a challenge, a tight deadline, or just trying to keep up with the pace of the race. eir intuition is uncanny, as they either just show up, call, or send me a really funny text message, bringing some much-needed light and love to my day, or even in the moment.

As I have traveled quite a bit in my career, one of my favorite pastimes is people watching. Is that something you enjoy as well? And I love it when perfect strangers become the light and the love for me. Watching a group of people or a family laughing out loud

as they share jokes and stories. I was watching this one family as I waited to board my ight and they were traveling with their grandfather. I couldn’t hear what was said, but they all started laughing hysterically, and the grandfather was laughing so hard with huge belly laughs and tears streaming down his face, I started laughing just watching him laugh so hard and I didn’t even know what I was laughing about. When it comes to people watching, I have several other scenarios that always bring a smile to my face and warm my heart; watching parents being really attentive to their children instead of being buried in their phone, couples holding hands as they sit or walk together, strangers stepping up to help another traveler should they have dropped something or needed help in some other way, my fellow travelers greeting each other, the airline sta

and ight crew with the courtesy they deserve, and so many other acts of being the light, love and kindness in this world.

Being on the receiving end of someone showing up for me as the light and love in my life feels so awesome. It doesn’t matter if it’s a family member, friend, co-worker, or perfect stranger, all that matters is that I am open to seeing it, hearing it, or experiencing it, and allowing that light and love to move inside of me. Receiving the light and love is one thing, but do we recognize our obligation to be the light and love for others, even when we don’t know that we are actually doing it? ink of the last time you were out to dinner with your spouse or friend, and you were having such a great time eating, drinking and sharing stories. You were probably smiling, laughing and having such a good time that you didn’t realize the impact you were having on others who probably wished they were sitting with you.

ere could have been a di erent couple in that same pub or restaurant going through a di cult time, and just because your positive light, love

and energy were so contagious, pretty soon they too forgot their woes and began a new and loving conversation. Is it our responsibility to be the light and love for others? Maybe it depends on who we ask. My answer is yes, because I believe we are called to be both light and love in this world. e world can seem very dark right now, but just remember that there is no such thing as darkness, there is only an absence of light. So let’s bring it. Do you enjoy being around people who make you happier just by being in their presence? Does your heart come alive when you see or experience moments of love and light happening around you? I would love to hear your story at gotonorton@gmail. com, and when we can enjoy the light and love of others and be the light and love for those who need it, it really will be a better than good life.

Easing methane rules a bad idea for climate

Scientists tell us, in no uncertain terms, that reducing methane is the quickest and most cost-e ective way to help slow the rate of climate change, stop the waste of a nonrenewable resource and protect public health.

Despite this, House Republicans recently passed a troubling energyrelated package, HR 1, including a bill that would remove a hard-won program within the In ation Reduction Act that is critical to ghting climate change: the Methane Emissions Reduction Program. Fortunately, the legislation isn’t expected to move beyond the House, and President Biden pledged a veto if it did. Still, some of the detrimental ideas within the package could in uence future policy. Speaking as an elected o cial who must make

decisions related to the advancing climate crisis, that is unacceptable.

Methane is a potent greenhouse gas responsible for 25% of today’s global warming. ese emissions also rob mineral owners and local, state and federal governments of valuable royalties and revenues that are needlessly wasted when they could be funding schools and public services. Methane that doesn’t leak from oil and gas facilities and pipelines is money in the bank. e Natural Gas Tax Repeal Act (HR 1141) puts polluters before public welfare, and would be a giant step backward in addressing our nation’s climate crisis.

So, what does MERP do? It imposes a fee on excessive methane emissions from oil and gas facilities,

MERP is a critical enforcement mechanism for the Environmental Protection Agency’s methane emissions reduction rule. MERP requires the EPA to measure emissions from oil and gas facilities directly. is helps us understand exactly how much pollution is coming from oil and gas facilities, so we can hold operators directly accountable for the pollution they cause.

Importantly, MERP also provides $1.55 billion in funding for its implementation, which would be directed to state agencies, communities, and

Pools around the metro area are gearing up to open for the summer. at is, if there are enough lifeguards.

e years-long trend where pools have cut hours or closed altogether appears to be waning, though it’s still a possibility in some places, according to aquatics managers across the Denver area, who are more optimistic than in past years, but still concerned as summer nears.

For instance, South Suburban Parks and Recreation needs 250 lifeguards for its peak summer season but has only 183 ready to go.

Karl Brehm, the recreation dis-

trict’s aquatics manager, hopes to get closer to the goal as summer approaches but wonders why applications are so slow to roll in.

“I have seen, more and more, less interest in the position,” Brehm said.

He’s been in the business for a long time. Brehm worked at Elitch Gardens for ve seasons and the Highlands Ranch Community Association for 16 years. He said he’s seen a general lack of interest, generationally, from young people who want to do the job. Fewer people are becoming CPR certi ed as well, he added.

“I’ve often wondered why we were having those issues,” Brehm said. “Back in the day, I remember if you didn’t have

your job by spring break, you weren’t getting a summer job.”  e problem could a ect South Suburban pools across the district, which serves more than 150,000 residents in Bow Mar, Columbine Valley, Littleton, Sheridan, Lone Tree and parts of Centennial and Douglas, Je erson and Arapahoe counties.

If he can’t hire enough lifeguards, hours at pools could be cut, Brehm said. It’s not for a lack of trying, though. e district has introduced incentives, bonuses, pay bumps and more in hopes of luring in more lifeguards.

South Suburban isn’t alone.  ere’s a national lifeguard shortage, which was exacerbated by the pandemic. Lifeguard shortages a ected roughly a third of public pools throughout

the country.

In response last year, Gov. Jared Polis announced a “Pools Special Initiative 2022,” in which Colorado introduced incentives. Chief among them was a $1,000 payment to those who completed lifeguard training to ght pool postponements and decreasing operating hours.

Now, out of necessity, hiring lifeguards is ongoing throughout the entire summer season, Brehm said. Lifeguards for South Suburban make between $15 and $19.14 per hour, per South Suburban’s website. A head lifeguard makes $15.75 - $19.93 per hour.

But there are additional costs to South Suburban. ough life-

SEE LIFEGUARDS, P9

LIFEGUARDS

guards are generally seen as rst-time, fun summer jobs, they must possess crucial knowledge regarding saving human lives. A full-course lifeguard training at South Suburban through Red Cross costs $175. Community First Aid, CPR and AED training/ blended learning costs $80. After 75 hours of work, South Suburban reimburses course fees, excluding the $40 certi cation fee.

Despite such incentives, lifeguards still make less than sports o cials at South Suburban. A youth sports o cial starts at $20.00 per hour.

North of Denver, in Federal Heights, the Hyland Hills Parks and Recreation, a youth baseball/softball umpire makes $65 per 90 minutes. A Pilates instructor for Brighton makes $1 more than a lifeguard per hour. e discrepancy is notable, especially considering most lifeguards work on a part-time basis.

Yet, the lifeguard numbers are booming for Hyland Hills. Generally, the district employs roughly 300 lifeguards per season. is season, it’s closer to 375, according to Director of Communications Joann Cortez.

e main focus in hiring and retaining their lifeguards at Hyland Hills pools and the massive Water World water park is legacy, Cortez said. Water World is in its 43rd operating season.

“We’ve been in the water park business for over 40 years, and we’re very aware of the nationwide shortage of lifeguards,” she said. “I think what has helped us is we have a legacy pool of candidates. Kids often know Water World just from coming for the experience, and if one of their older siblings takes a job with us, eventually the ones that are following can’t wait for their turn. We’re just very, very fortunate in that way.”

Cortez said Hyland Hills is committed to creating a memorable rst-job experience. It should be fun, but also taken seriously. It’s a constant balance of managing a “fun job” and literally monitoring people’s lives daily. Recruiting is big, and so are the incentives. e employees get free soft drinks, free membership, and even fun events like “prom night” during the season.

Hyland Hills has an end-of-season bonus as well, with the ability to earn an additional dollar per hour’s pay. e lifeguards’ pay ranges depending on the position, such as a guard lifeguard, a shallow-water lifeguard and a deep-water lifeguard.

On the Water World website, lifeguards are hired at $16.15 per hour. A “lifeguard attendant” makes $16.00 per hour. Returning lifeguards make slightly more depending on experience. Cortez said the main factor in keeping employees is how they treat them.

“We’re in a very favorable position, but we’re sad there aren’t enough lifeguards to go around,” Cortez said.

Meanwhile, local pools and recreation centers around the Denver area have conducted pointed campaigns to ensure their numbers are sustainable and their pools are ready for the masses.

While it remains to be seen if that strategy will work for South Suruban, it seems to be working elsewhere. Recreation centers in the City of Brighton, for example, are fully sta ed ahead of the summer. ey were last year, too.

“It’s been tough at di erent agencies, municipalities, and neighborhood pools. ere was de nitely a lifeguard shortage the last several years, especially

last year,” said Je rey Hulett, assistant director of recreation services for Brighton. “But we were fully sta ed last year.”

ere have been a number of initiatives and incentives they’ve introduced to get ahead of the lifeguard shortage crisis, he said. It was a top-tobottom e ort in Brighton to make sure the crisis was minimized. Pay was a main focus. It wasn’t too long ago they were paying lifeguards just $13 per hour, he said. Now, it’s up to $17. And it goes up each season for returnees. Head lifeguards make roughly $1.50 more per hour.

Recreation bene ts were expanded to the sta and their families, even part-time employees. at includes complimentary membership to the recreation center and discounts on youth programs.

ere’s also an end-of-season bonus for those that work the entire summer.

e grants from the governor’s o ce gave Brighton exibility to expand e orts in hiring and retaining employees. According to Aquatics Supervisor Nicole Chapman, it can be di cult to retain lifeguards for pools and centers too big or too small. Brighton, fortunately, was right in a “sweet spot.”

“Some of the much larger municipalities are running into an issue where, physically, the sta we hire are local kids who want to work at their local pool,” Chapman explained. “And if they get hired on by a larger municipality, the expectation is to expect your sta to be willing to work at any of your city rec facilities, and that’s just not feasible for a lot of

Brighton only has two locations — the Brighton Recreation Center and Brighton Oasis Family Aquatic Park — and Chapman said, and there are options for those living on either side of the city. But it’s still a small enough area that employees can work at both locations.

Perhaps back in the day, they could wait for the applications, and they’d have more than they knew what to do with come pool season. Now, that’s simply not the case. Recruiting is essential, both in the high schools and at job fairs, as well as providing a ordable training opportunities and classes in-house — something Hulett said they’d never do before.

Brighton had 88 lifeguards in 2022, which is considered fully sta ed. ey currently have 70 lifeguards for the upcoming summer, but Chapman said she expects those numbers to ll out to 88 again considering guards in training are set to graduate from classes by the end of the month.

Meanwhile, back in South Suburban, Brehm is looking for dozens more lifeguards to fully sta pools this summer.

High school students and student athletes are encouraged to apply. ey can learn valuable skills and essential life-saving procedures they’ll carry with them forever, Brehm said. Plus, it’s an ideal time for student athletes to make money, considering many sports are inactive over the summer.

As the pandemic continues to dwindle, the lifeguard participation numbers are expected to make a leap. But the job itself, and those working it, must be valued consistently to hire and retain those numbers season after season.

younger kids that don’t have their own transportation. ey’re really there looking for a summer job around the corner.”

“We really look for not just kids, but really anyone who is going to take the job seriously and understand just how much of a vital role they play every summer in keeping the community safe,” Chapman said. “We really try to emphasize that with our sta , and there are always sta members that really take that to heart, and those are the ones we want to see come back.”

Finding a balance between making sure lifeguards understand the seriousness of the role and not taking all the fun out of the job is a ne line to walk, she said. But they have to walk it every season.

Showcasing beetles, ants and bees at Butterfly Pavilion

Pollinator Palooza opens with largest-ever pollinator exhibit

e Butter y Pavilion kicked o Pollinator Palooza with the opening of a new exhibit on May 2, with help from Congresswoman Brittany Petersen and Marlon Reis, Colorado’s rst gentlemen.

“When I think about the challenges that we’re facing, having a three-yearold son and what his future looks like, it can be incredibly overwhelming. But it’s people like all of you who inspire me to believe that we’re going to rise to the occasion and meet this moment,” said Petersen.

For the next two months, the Pavilion will be celebrating pollinators. eir new exhibit, Pollinator Place, will be their largest pollinator-focused exhibit ever, showcasing beetles, ants and bumblebees.

It comes at a time when pollinators and insects are facing continually increasing threats from climate change. Dr. Richard Reading, the Butter y Pavilion’s vice president of science and conservation, sounded the alarm.

“We are in the midst of the sixth mass extinction on planet Earth, and this one is di erent than the rest in that it’s caused by one of nature’s own: people. And unfortunately, insects and invertebrates are not spared by this loss,” he said.

Reading said some are also calling this period time the insect apocalypse, pointing to some professionals that believe the planet lost 45% of pollinators in the last few centuries.

He emphasized the importance of pollinators to the environment and to humans. Creating soil, purifying water and pollinating food are among some of their ecosystem services, and said

they create one out of every three bites of food people take.

He paraphrased a quote from a biologist.

“If people disappeared, the planet would quickly return to a state of normalcy, but if the invertebrates disappeared, if insects were to disappear, life, as we know it on this planet, would disappear altogether,” he said.

Increasing pollinators

But he also said he’s hopeful, as e orts by communities and the Butter y Pavilion are aiming to help, such as creating pollinator districts within cities and collecting data on butter y

monitoring.

Amy Yarger, Director of Horticulture, said pollinator districts have seen increases in pollinators, and even small actions can make a di erence. Pollinator Palooza hopes to get more people involved.

“Some of the things that all of us can do, whether it’s planting a garden(or) putting out ower pots, can make an impact,” she said.

In an interview, Reis, Gov. Jared Polis’ husband, urged residents to talk to their city council members and county commissioners about planting native plants in their jurisdiction.

“ ere’s a tendency to plant nonnative like Kentucky Bluegrass, which is beautiful, it’s soft and looks pretty, but it’s not great for native wildlife,” he said.

Reis touted a bill he’s working on that’s moving its way through the legislature, which will limit the use of a group of pesticides called neonicotinoids. He said they’re toxic to pollinators.

Reis also said the legislature passed a bill for a pollinator license plate that generates funds toward pollinator conservation.

How community members can make their own impact and learn more about pollinators can be learned throughout the celebration at the Butter y Pavilion.

Special ed gets long-awaited funding boost

Help comes from state budget and related bill

Tammy Johnson oversees special education services in ve rural school districts in southwest Colorado as the executive director of the Uncompahgre Board of Cooperative Educational Services.

And she also puts in time as a preschool special education teacher — doing assessments, writing student education plans, supervising classroom aides — because there’s no one else to do the job.

Administrators in the districts she serves “know that I’m not available in my o ce to put out res now that I have to leave my o ce to work in Norwood with preschool kids,” she said.

A long overdue boost to Colorado special education funding is buying Johnson some relief soon. By pooling their share of new state funding, the UnBOCES and the ve school districts plan to hire an experienced preschool special education teacher at $56,000 a year.

“And oh my gosh, we might be able to pay our folks a little salary increase, enough for them to stay,” Johnson said.

e additional funding comes from the 2023-24 state budget and a related special education funding bill and enables Colorado to meet funding commitments it made in 2006 but never honored.

e formula developed back then proposed that school districts get $1,250 for every student with an individualized education plan and another $6,000 for students whose needs cost more to meet, such as students with autism or speci c learning disabilities, students who are deaf or blind, those with traumatic brain injuries or who have signi cant emotional disabilities.

But instead of meeting that obligation, Colorado lawmakers essentially funded special education out of budgetary leftovers. As recently as 2018, Colorado was paying school districts less than a third of what lawmakers had promised for special education students.

State Sen. Rachel Zenzinger has pushed to steadily increase special education funding each of the last ve years. In 2019, she argued that increasing special education funding was even more important than paying for full-day kindergarten. Kindergarten, a top priority for Gov. Jared Polis, won out.

Last year, Zenzinger and state Sen. Barbara Kirkmeyer, a Weld County Republican, secured the rst in ationary increase since 2006 for all special education students, for whom districts were reimbursed $1,750 this

budget year, a 40% increase. is year’s budget pledges $6,000 for each higher-needs student, the amount set in 2006 but never met. All told, special education funding is increasing about 13.4% to $340 million.

Zenzinger, an Arvada Democrat and the chair of the Joint Budget Committee, said securing funding was a matter of political will.

“Once we exposed this problem, it was really hard to not x it,” she said.

“Our children are entitled to this, and in order to be successful, we need to provide them resources.”

Colorado also has a lot more money to work with thanks to a strong economy, one-time federal dollars, and rising local property values that have taken pressure o the state education budget.

e special education funding bill passed the House and Senate with broad bipartisan support and awaits Polis’ signature. It’s sponsored by Zenzinger, Kirkmeyer, state Rep. Cathy Kipp, a Fort Collins Democrat, and state Rep. Lisa Frizell, a Castle Rock Republican.

e extra funding still leaves school districts on the hook for about twothirds of more than $1 billion in total costs to educate students with disabilities. e federal government promised back in the 1970s to pick up 40% of the cost but only reimburses school districts about 14% of their real costs, with the state picking up about 20%.

Lucinda Hundley, who heads the Consortium of Directors of Special Education, said school districts are grateful for the additional money, but they also need lawmakers to understand it’s a fraction of the cost. School districts are legally required to provide special education services, so unreimbursed costs come out of the general education budget.

A study group last year decided against making major changes to how Colorado funds special education, but Hundley said she hopes the state takes another look at how much it invests in special education and considers what a fair share would be between the state and districts.

Rob Gould, a Denver special education teacher and president of the Denver Classroom Teachers Association, said low funding has exacerbated a shortage of special education teachers and special service providers such as speech language pathologists, occupational therapists, and school psychologists.

“We do not have enough teachers or support sta to serve our students the way they deserve. At every turn, special education educators rise to the occasion, but the state’s lack of investment has exacerbated the educator shortage,” he told lawmakers this month.

Gould described one teacher who quit after her caseload rose to 40 students because she was the only spe-

cial education teacher in her building.

“She left the profession entirely so she could spend time with her kids on the weekend,” he said.

Sta ng shortages and high workloads sometimes mean students don’t get the services they’re owed. In just one recent example, the Colorado Department of Education found that Denver violated federal requirements by failing to provide speech therapy to more than 1,000 young students.

Colorado’s educator shortage survey found that 17% of open special service provider positions went un lled last school year, compared to just 8% of classroom teacher openings. Year after year, special education teachers are among the hardest to hire.

Johnson, the BOCES director, cobbles together services uses independent contractors and virtual appointments. If money were no object and she could o er competitive salaries to go with sweeping views of the San Juan Mountains, services would look a little di erent.

“I would have a psychologist in every building,” she said. “I would have a social worker in every building. I

would have a speech pathologist in person. I would have release time for my teams to plan. If we could meet some of our students’ needs proactively rather than reactively, it would make a di erence.”

In voting to move the bill out of the House Education Committee, state Rep. Mary Young, a Greeley Democrat, said she started working as a special education teacher before there was even a federal law requiring that schools serve students with disabilities. In all those decades, special education had never been adequately funded, she said.

“ e people who do special ed do it because their heart is in it,” Johnson said. “Growing up, my brother couldn’t come to school with us because they didn’t have a program for him. at’s why I’m doing this.

“But I’m in my 27th year and funding hasn’t come close to catching up, and it’s a travesty that we have to do it on the backs of general education students who are also struggling.”

Lightning and Thunderhawks in heated battle

Legacy ekes out win after controversial 7th inning call

BROOMFIELD - e Legacy high school baseball team came up with a big victory in the Front Range League Saturday, but not without controversy.

e No. 6 Lightning rallied from a 4-run de cit to beat Prairie View 5-4 in a heated contest between the two league rivals.

e controversy occurred in the bottom of the seventh with the underhawks nursing a 4-3 advantage with two outs and Legacy had the bases the bases. A Legacy runner was tagged out after running into Prairie View’s second-baseman Romani Perez, who had the ball, and what looked like a underhawk victory with the nal out. However, the call was reversed, and Perez was called for obstruction of the runner and Legacy’s tying run crossed the plate to force extra innings.

e call caused chaos in a highly contentious game, with shouting matches ensuing from both teams before the coaches were able to calm the situation down.

e Lightning didn’t let the opportunity go to waste and Ethan Sanchez hit a home run in the eighth to seal the victory for Lightning.

“I’m proud of how they battled, and proud of how they came back.” Legacy coach Ty Giordano said.

“Obviously it was heated. ere are a lot of things I don’t like to see on the baseball eld. A lot of anger, a lot of language and ghting. ere is no place for that. But I like to see the competitiveness.”

Prairie View started strong with three runs in the rst inning and then adding another run in the third.

Pitcher Favi Gaeta was dominating the game on the mound and at the plate for the underhawks. e sophomore went 2-for-4 at the plate, with 2 runs and 2 RBIs. Gaeta was just as solid pitching. He pitched 5.1 innings - allowed one run and struck out ve batters. However, Legacy found timely hits throughout the game. Brandon Sanchez hit an RBI single in the fourth for Legacy’s rst run and senior Derek Olsen had a 2-RBI double in the seventh.

“Coming away with the win in an ugly game like that is big,” Giordano said. “(Prairie View) is a very good baseball team and are well coached. Hope our team can understand that every pitch matters. We made some unforced errors and (Prairie View) was able to take advantage and get runs o of it.”

Legacy improved to 10-2 in FRL and 14-4 overall and has a full schedule of games this week. Tuesday at Loveland, Wednesday against defending state-champion Broom eld and then at Poudre ursday.

Prairie View (12-7 overall, 7-6 FRL) nishes the regular season with two home contests against Monarch Tuesday and Fairview ursday.

Western Slope wolf plan gets state OK

Wildlife commissioners hand proposal to CPW managers after two years of work

e Colorado Parks and Wildlife board of commissioners have approved a nal plan to restore wolves in Colorado.

Concluding two years of work — and hundreds of hours of meetings across the state — the commissioners unanimously approved a 301page plan to begin restoring wolves, as mandated by voters in November 2020.

Commissioner Dallas May said it was “morally imperative” for the commissioners to approve the plan and hand it o to CPW wildlife managers on schedule. e agency is on track to begin introducing wolves on the Western Slope by year’s end –per the voter mandate in November 2020 – even though there are many challenges ahead that threaten to derail that schedule.

“We now have the opportunity to place this in the hands of people

who are absolutely the best team that can be assembled to enact it,” May said. “Is it a perfect plan? Probably not. It is an assemblage of giveand-take, of trying to nd the middle of the road. ere will be many things that we did not anticipate.

“ is is where the CPW team of dedicated professionals will begin their di cult and arduous task to ful ll their mission,” May said. “It is not our job to micromanage their work. Our job is to give them this plan and let them do what they do

best.”

Gov. Jared Polis called the commission on May 3 to thank the agency’s sta and volunteer commissioners for what he called “a big lift.”

Outgoing commissioner Carrie Besnette Hauser, the commission chair, said the nal approval “was a bit emotional” after months of healthy debate.

“I’m really proud of Colorado and I’m proud of all of you,” she said.  e restoration plan was devel-

oped over two years of meetings with both a Technical Working Group and a Stakeholder Advisory Group. Colorado Parks and Wildlife also held 47 meetings that engaged with 3,400 residents. e plan calls for phased management that can be adjusted as wolf populations grow in the state.

e restoration will begin with introducing 30 to 50 gray wolves in the next three to ve years. e state proposes wintertime releases of captured wolves in two areas on the Western Slope: along the Interstate 70 corridor between Glenwood Springs and Vail, and along the U.S. 50 corridor between Monarch Pass and Montrose. e rst releases are planned for state or private land around the I-70 corridor.

As the state has planned restoration, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is reviewing an exemption under the Endangered Species Act that would establish wolves in Colorado as an experimental population. e so-called 10(j) rule allows exible management strategies, like allowing ranchers to kill wolves that are threatening livestock or people.  e plan will allow ranchers who lose livestock to wolves to be compensated as much as $15,000 per

Spring avalanche danger looms in high country

Conditions across the state are warming, and in the mountains, that means more avalanche hazards.

e chance of “wet avalanches” increases when snowpack melts in the springtime. ose types of avalanches occur when layers of snow beneath the surface become unstable due to increased moisture. Colorado’s snowpack is 38 percentage points higher than the median

for this time of year, according to the National Water and Climate Center. at means there’s even more potential runo than normal.

Brian Lazar, deputy director of the Colorado Avalanche Information Center, said the high amount of snow that’s fallen this winter has contributed to the high risk of wet avalanches. e state’s high-elevation areas have received snowfall as recently as the nal week of April.

“As that cold snow warms up and sees sun after the storm leaves, it

will tend to sheet o the underlying crust and produce kind of long-running wet avalanche activity, which is also what we saw over the last couple days,” Lazar said.

Lazar said wet avalanche activity will likely drop o once higher temperatures become more consistent and snowpack melts, but there will still be plenty of risk for backcountry skiers and other outdoor recreators in the coming weeks. He said anyone going out into the snow should be extra careful.

“Outside of checking your fore-

cast, you want to make sure you’re still carrying your minimum required rescue gear, which includes an avalanche transceiver, a shovel, and a probe,” Lazar said.

A man died near Breckinridge over the weekend after he was caught in a slide, becoming Colorado’s 11th avalanche fatality this snow season. One more recreational fatality will tie the state’s all-time record, set in 1993.

animal. e plan outlines many nonlethal interventions to discourage wolves from killing livestock and it does allow the killing of wolves caught in the act of attacking livestock, saying both the stakeholder and technical groups viewed lethal management “as being critically important to a successful wolf management program.”

e federal wildlife service has expedited its review and expects to issue a nal Environmental Impact Statement by December. Legislation

introduced in the Colorado Senate in March — Senate Bill 256 — prohibits introduction of gray wolves in Colorado until that 10(j) analysis under the National Environmental Policy Act is complete.

Mike Samson, a four-term Gar eld County commissioner, spoke during public comment before the agency’s commissioners began reviewing the nal plan, saying the wolf restoration was “Colorado voters attempting to be Mother Nature” and “ballot-box biology.” He urged the commissioners to allow lethal taking of wolves, pointing to Idaho, where lawmakers have approved legislation allowing for killing up to 90% of the state’s estimated 1,500 wolves.

( e Colorado plan does not allow hunting, but the adaptive management strategy leaves open most management options in future years as wolf populations grow.)

“Wolves need to be legally hunted and trapped to keep their numbers in check,” Samson said.

Representatives for cattlemen groups urged the commissioners to approve compensation for ranchers who spend money on wolf mitigation, not just those who lose livestock to the predators.

Many public speakers asked the commissioners where they plan to get wolves to relocate into Colorado. e state’s plan calls for capturing wild gray wolves in Idaho, Montana

and Wyoming. e draft plan says Colorado has “begun to explore an agreement” with the three states. A recent report by 9News quoted ofcials in each state saying there were no discussions with Colorado about donating wolves. e draft plan also says Colorado “has also begun to explore an agreement” with Washington and Oregon. e 9News report also quoted o cials in Oregon and Washington saying they were not working with Colorado on sourcing wolves for restoration in the state.  is story from e Colorado Sun, www.ColoradoSun.com. e Colorado Sun is a partner in the Colorado News Conservancy, which owns Colorado Community Media.

the owner.

If the owner is identified and the impounded animal is not claimed by its owner within five days after the owner is given notice, the animal may be disposed of by sale, adoption, donation, or destruction at the sole discretion of the animal shelter.

(1)The animal control officer may seize any cat, whether a community cat or domestic cat, which is found strayed or running at large in any public highway, street, public way, or upon public property.

(2)The animal control officer may impound any community cat in response to a complaint verified by an animal control officer related to damage or other activity of the community cat that impacts the comfortable enjoyment of an individual’s property. Once a community cat is seized, the animal control officer may turn over the community cat to the animal shelter or to a community cat caregiver for entrance into a Trap-Neuter-Return program if such a caregiver exists.

(3)Any such animal shall be held until a fact-finding dispositional hearing can be held in municipal court to determine its proper disposition pursuant to Section 6-4-620. This dispositional hearing can take place notwithstanding any court action against any person who has been charged with a violation of Section 6-4-230, and any statement made by any person at such a dispositional hearing can be used as evidence in the prosecution’s case-in-chief in any trial procedure.

Sec. 6-4-620. Impoundment and dispositional hearing for animals habitually at large.

(1) When any animal has been impounded pursuant to Section 6-10-610, the owner shall be entitled to a fact-finding dispositional hearing (“dispositional hearing”) within ten days of such impoundment.

ment, animal control officer, or the court. Such notice may be personally served upon the owner of the animal.

(3) The dispositional hearing shall be conducted as an administrative hearing before the municipal court, and the formal rules of evidence shall not apply. However, such rules of evidence may be used as a guide for the introduction of evidence.

(4) Trials involving charges resulting in animal seizures shall be given priority on the Municipal Court docket in order to minimize the expense to animal owners or custodians for impoundment and boarding of seized animals.

(5) The court shall allow the parties to present evidence, witnesses, and have the right to crossexamination. Any and all documentary evidence and other data deemed relevant by the municipal judge, including sworn affidavits, shall be received in evidence.

(6) The owner shall have all rights possessed by defendants in judicial proceedings, including the right to be represented by counsel, and the right to compel attendance of witnesses.

(7) At the dispositional hearing, the court shall determine whether or not the owner has proven, by preponderance of the evidence, that the owner has put in place sufficient confinement measures, which secure the animal to avoid future at large violations, and whether the owner can safely maintain the animal so as to prevent future running at large violations. The court shall have the power to determine that the animal be further confined and to order that the owner take specific steps to prevent the animal from running at large. The court may order that any confinement or security measures be inspected by animal control.

(8) Only upon a showing of proof of sufficient confinement measures, which secure the animal to avoid future at large violations, and proof that the owner safely maintain the animal so as to prevent future running at large violations can the court order the animal released to the owner upon the payment of the impound fee, boarding fee, veterinary care charges, and any other costs associated with the impoundment. The owner shall bear the costs of impounding the animal regardless of the results of any municipal charges.

(9) Any animal held pursuant to court order may be disposed of by the animal shelter if unclaimed by the owner or custodian more than five (5) business days following issuance of a court order authorizing the release of the animal. The animal owner or custodian shall be liable for all expenses arising from the impoundment and boarding of any animal under a seizure order until the animal is released or otherwise disposed of and must pay a bond according to State law.

(10) If the owner does not appear at the dispositional hearing, the Court shall order the animal surrendered.

If impounded, the animal shall be held in the animal shelter at the owner’s expense pending final disposition of the charge against the owner or by order of the court after a fact-finding dispositional hearing pursuant Section 6-4-640.

(2) Production of animal. It shall be unlawful for any owner of an animal subject to an impoundment under this section to fail to produce the animal, on demand of any animal control officer or police officer, for examination and impoundment. If the owner of any such animal refuses to produce the animal, the owner shall be subject to immediate arrest if there shall be probable cause to believe that the owner is keeping or harboring the animal upon such a demand, and the owner may be charged with a violation of this section by failing to produce such an animal. If the owner of any such animal shall willfully or knowingly secrete or refuse to produce such animal, such act shall constitute a separate and individual violation of this section.

(3) Fees. The owner shall be responsible for the payment of all fees, including impound fee, boarding fee, veterinary care charges, and any other costs associated with the impoundment regardless of the results of any municipal charges.

(4) Any person who shall violate any of the provisions of this section shall be subject to a mandatory court appearance, and upon conviction, be subject to any penalty in Article 1-24.

Sec. 6-4-640. Fact-finding dispositional hearing for aggressive animals.

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.

YOU ARE FURTHER ADVISED that you have the right to have legal counsel represent you in all matters connected with the Motion to Terminate the Parent-Child Legal Relationship. If you cannot afford to pay the fees of legal counsel, you are advised that the Court will appoint legal counsel to represent you at no cost to you upon your request and upon your showing of an inability to pay.

YOU ARE FURTHER ADVISED that a grandparent, aunt, uncle, brother or sister of the child must file a request for guardianship and legal custody of the child within twenty days of the filing of the motion to terminate parent/child legal relationship.
