RTD service to courts RTD bus doesn’t go to judicial center parking lot BY LIAM ADAMS LADAMS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
The Regional Transportation District responded to frustration from Adams County officials on Monday about RTD buses not stopping to drop riders off at the Adams County Justice Center. The district defends that it technically hasn’t discontinued service, and that buses still go to two nearby stops. But Adams County commissioners and officials in the 17th Judicial District said the bus needs to go to the justice center parking lot, or else it will continue to make their lives and the lives of residents more difficult. “With a backlog of more than 700 felony cases, additional courtrooms A Professional Bull Rider leaves the gate Aug. 5 at the Riverdale Regional Park for the Adams County Fair.

Tri-State to lower rates, United Power still dissatisfied United Power says flexibility, not price, is main issue with rates BY LIAM ADAMS LADAMS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission approved a rate reduction or wholesale power that TriState Generation and Transmission sells member cooperatives. The Westminster-based energy company will lower rates by a 4% total by March 2022. It already lowered rates by 2% that went into effect in March 2021, and it will lower rates by another 2% by next March. It will also establish a rate moratorium
until September 2023, according to a news release. The rate reductions are part of a “Responsible Energy Plan” that Tri-State announced in January 2020, but the maneuver also follows criticism about wholesale rates from member cooperatives including Brighton-based United Power. “We are pleased with this outcome and FERC’s approval of the settlement, which provides both a significant wholesale rate reduction and rate certainty going forward for our utility members,” said TriState CEO Duane Highley in a press release on Aug. 3. The federal energy regulatory commission affirmed in September 2020 that it has exclusive jurisdiction over Tri-State’s rates, not the Colorado Public Utilities
Commission. The price of Tri-State’s rates is one issue that United Power has criticized its parent cooperative about in a years-long debate that has led United Power to try to buy out of its contract with Tri-State. Yet, United Power didn’t celebrate FERC’s decision about Tri-State’s rate reduction, saying the problem is just as much with the flexibility of the rates as it is with the price. “To achieve this goal means a radical re-envisioning of the G&T (generation and transmission) model, one in which utility members can purchase as much — or as little — power as they need to support their communities,” said United Power President and CEO Mark Gabriel in a new release on Aug. 5. Currently, United Power’s con-
tract with Tri-State allows the Brighton company to purchase a limited amount of power, specifically renewable energy, from other companies. Tri-State and United Power still await a decision from FERC about an exit fee that United Power would need to pay to buy out of its contract with Tri-State. A judge with the Colorado Public Utilities Commission ruled in favor of a lower exit fee that United Power came up with, though Tri-State appealed the decision with FERC. Gabriel said in the news release, “United Power does not necessarily want to terminate its contract with Tri-State, although obtaining a reasonable price for termination would be a starting point for any analysis.”
STEAM program begins at Alsup STAFF REPORT
The new-look Alsup Elementary School, 4413 E. 68th Ave., will christen its new look with a new STEAM Learning program. The interactive event begins at 1:30 p.m. Monday, Aug. 16, at the school. It includes the unveiling of the Aldrin Family Foundation’s Mars map. Students will have to chance to sit, stand, walk play and learn on the red planet. STEAM ambassadors are plan-
ning a presentation and the launch of Co2 rockets in front of the school. The school was the recipient of a grant from the Colorado Department of Education. The new location for the school occupies part of the former Adams City High School site at East 68th Avenue and state Highway 2. Some of the new elementary school designs include staff parking and a parent drop-off point in front of the school, the administration pod to the right of the front door and classroom areas for kin-
New school year anxiety higher during pandemic BY THELMA GRIMES TGRIMES@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
When starting a new school year in a new grade with a new teacher, it is common to face first-day jitters. However, experts say back-to-school anxiety in 2021 is elevated due to continuously-changing rules and procedures the COVID-19 pandemic creates. Dr. Kristin Orlowski, a psychologist with UCHealth, said elementary students and teenagers thrive on structure and consistency. In 2020, consistency and structure became unstable with online schooling, mandates, and procedures creating confusion and stress as federal, state, and local health officials grappled with how to keep children safe. The bottom line, Orlowski said, is that online schooling is not an effective alternative to in person learning. Students fell behind in academics and social development, she said. When students are out of sorts, stressed and depressed, Orlowski said studies show they do not retain or learn new things as well. As school is slated to start in Douglas, Arapahoe, Adams and Jefferson counties this month, the debate over mask mandates is revving up. Orlowski said as school
administrators debate whether to require masks, parent anger and frustrations are spilling over, and students are hearing it. Dr. Anat Geva, clinician supervisor for HealthOne Behavioral Health Centers, said the biggest problem for students in the pandemic is the “unknown.” “The other part of that is the unknown can change quickly during a pandemic,” she said. “You might have a student already stressed about a new teacher and new classroom, but there is also concern classes will get canceled or mask restrictions are suddenly put in place again. Really, everything can flip 180 degrees from one day to the next. The unknown is always a problem.” Geva said this has led students to be more apathetic and avoid issues altogether. Adults and children alike are ignoring news and updates because they figure it will just change tomorrow, she said. According to studies provided by HealthOne, which serves patients in Centennial, Aurora and Ken Caryl, self-harm claims among teenagers in 2020 increased by more than 300%. Earlier this summer, Children’s Hospital Colorado (CHC) declared a crisis in treating youth and teenagers for mental health conditions.
dergartners through second-graders to the right of that pod. The money came from a BEST grant, part of a state statute that provides annual funding in the form of competitive grants to school districts, charter schools, institute charter schools, boards of cooperative educational services and the Colorado School for the Deaf and the Blind. According to the district’s website, BEST funds can be used for the construction of new schools
as well as general construction and renovation of existing school facility systems and structures. The district’s matching fund sources include its capital reserve fund ($3.7 million), another $3.5 million from Adams 14’s unassigned fund balance in the general fund and certificates of participation. The district’s website said it will pay for those by an annual transfer from the general fund.

Chimney Hollow Reservoir project breaks ground BY BELEN WARD BWARD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
The Northern Water’s Municipal Subdistrict and the Windy Gap Firming Project celebrated its groundbreaking event a Chimney Hollow Reservoir on August 6. “This will secure our water for the future for our kids future and grandkids,” Fort Lupton Mayor Zo Stieber said. “Fort Lupton has grown and we’ve placed increased demands on our water supply. We have a lot of water but we don’t know much Fort Lupton will grow and this guarantees the supply.” It has taken about 22 years of permitting and planning so far. The project, now moving into the construction phase should cost an estimated $500 million with another $650 million in improvements to the West Slope. Chimney Hollow Reservoir will hold about 90,000 acre-feet of water – enough to cover 141 square miles in a foot of water – but still smaller than Carter Lake with its 300-foot-tall dam. It will take up to four years from construction to completion. The Windy Gap Project was completed in 1985 as a source of water storage for towns and cities on the eastern slope from the Windy Gap Reservoir. In 2000 officials decided it would be more efficient to develop a single project instead of having separate projects for all the municipalities. The Chimney Hollow Reservoir
will be built alongside other major improvements in Grand County and it will become a new source of water for the eastern slope towns and cities. The reservoir participants have committed to reducing water per capita supply through water conservation according to officials. Its regional water supply participants are Broomfield, Platte River Power Authority, Loveland, Greeley, Longmont, Erie, Little Thompson Water District, Superior, Louisville, Fort Lupton, Lafayette, and Central Weld County Water District. “It’s going to shore up our water resources for the decades to come. It will help to ensure that we have clean supplied water for the citizens as we continue to grow,” said Chris Cross, Fort Lupton City Administrator. Claude Hanes former Fort Lupton City Administrator has been participating in all of the meetings for over 15 years with Northern Colorado Conservancy District when the Chimney Hollow project started during his career. “It’s going to be huge for Fort Lupton because it confirms 13 units of Windy Gap the city owns. We owned three when I came on board, then we bought 10 units when I became City Administrator,” said Hanes. Dennis Yanchunas, Board President with the municipal subdistrict, said the Windy Gap project is unlike the Colorado-Big Thompson project because the water it provides is
reusable. The Big Thompson project, which brings water from the Western Slope to the Front Range, provides water for irrigation which usually cannot be reused. “It really valuable water for the participates because they can reuse it so consequently, it’s not only an additional water supply, but it’s an additional supply that can go further. It’s been in our plan for years. And, as you probably know, most of these communities are desperately looking for additional supply,” Yanchunas said. Brad Wind, Northern Colorado Water Conservancy General Manager, said they will have lots of challenges in Northern Colorado completing the Windy Gap Firming Project. “All these participants in the Windy Gap Firming Project moving forward after the completion of the reservoir will enjoy a reliable water supply very important to their communities, each day year once the project is completed,” said Wind. The reservoir is an off-channel reservoir so no river runs through the middle of it. Northern Water Project Manager Joe Donnelly, said the Chimney Hollow Reservoir will be filled with water from the existing Colorado-Big Thompson project to tap and fill the reservoir through a tunnel. All the rock and material used to build the reservoir are local and are coming from within the reservoir’s footprint.

Last year, RTD shifted operators’ schedules to meet new demand with the opening of the N Line commuter rail from Denver to Thornton last September. At the time, RTD ran a regional and local route to the justice center. After the N Line opened, they only kept the local route, the 520. Meanwhile, RTD was struggling with low ridership for its Brighton bus routes, an issue that RTD has dealt with for a while. On average, there was one customer per trip who would get off at the justice center, RTD said in its post. The district didn’t note a precise length of time it obtained the data from, and

COVID and prep sports: Schools are on their own BY STEVE SMITH SSMITH@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
AURORA – Prairie View High School athletic director Jason Humphrey may have summed up the coming fall sports season as it relates to the ongoing battle against COVID-19. “We’re just kind of waiting for the other shoe to drop,” he said. The Colorado Department of
Public Health and Environment decided to let local public health officials and local officials determine protocols for in-person learning and activity participation, according to a press release from the Colorado High School Activities Association. “Local public health officials and school districts have the autonomy to adopt stricter standards than the national and state recommenda-
tions, based on the conditions in their area,” the release said. Unvaccinated Aurora Public Schools’ coaches and athletes will have to get a test every two weeks. “Masks are required for all adults indoors. Students are optional,” said Thornton High School athletic director Patrick Woytek. “Otherwise, we are about normal.” At PVHS, there are no restric-
tions. Yet. “As of right now (Aug. 6), we haven’t been communicated any restrictions or rules,” Humphrey said. Discussions at Stargate School in Thornton are ongoing. “But expect to be masked indoors for everyone, regardless of vacation status,” said athletic director Dave Logan Aug. 6.

NATCHITOCHES, LOUISIANA – In some cases, adjustments from high-school to college sports are an “on-the-fly” proposition. Former Brighton and Frederick high school pitcher Chase Prestwich started that process during a four-week program at Northwestern State. “Summer Bridge was a chance for freshman athletes to come to campus early, meet other freshmen athletes and take a summer course,” Prestwich said. “A typical
cooking contest, an ultimate football game and a movie night.” Prestwich said the four-week program was a help. “Being there with some of the team and getting to know the routine of the upcoming fall semester was most helpful,” Prestwich said. “It helped me because I got to know everyone and know what being a student-athlete is going to be like. “And the campus wasn’t full of students, while I was there, still figuring everything out.” Summer Bridge wasn’t all about sports. Prestwich finished two col-
lege-level courses during his senior year at Frederick High School. “I took one class during the fourweek summer school and attended study hall every day,” he said. “I got to work with the Demon athletic academic coordinators who will also be helping me during the regular school year.” Family ties and a love of the area were part of the reasons Prestwich made his college choice. “It was awesome to be in Natchitoches,” Prestwich said. “I love the people and the food. I am looking forward to fall and meeting the rest of my teammates.”
