New COVID-19 restrictions will prohibit at indoor dining, personal gatherings New STEAM program Alsup Elementary The students will learn about space BY BELEN WARD BWARD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The stars, space and the planets were on everyone’s minds Aug. 16 when Alsup Elementary debuted a brand-new school and STEAM program with a celebration. “It’s a great event that we have today and a great school. We want to make sure that all of our parents everywhere in our community know that they can have access to programs like this in school. So we’re going to be working hard and diligently to make sure that every single one of our students regardless of where they are within our district can have access to opportunities,” said Dr. Karla Loria, Instructional Coach and STEAM Coordinator Hattie Buikema helping a student blast off superintendent for Adams 14 School the rocket they built.

Brighton and Commerce City’s test New positivity rates were both higher than location 13 percent. Forty-five people in Brighton and 29 in Commerce City have died from COVID-19 related health issues. To limit the spread of COVID-19, at least 15 counties moved to tighter restrictions that prohibits indoor and personal gatherings.

As Denver metro counties continue to inch closer to local stay-at-home orders under Colorado’s system of coronavirusrelated restrictions, the state announced a new level of rules that prohibits indoor dining and personal gatherings — a change that applies to the majority of the Denver metro area and many counties in other regions. The state’s COVID-19 dial, which has been in effect since September, is the set of different levels of restrictions that each

Christensen is the designer of giant maps of Mars and the moon for the kids to learn about the planets in an interactive setting. “Dr. Aldrin allowed me to go out and be creative. He wants to see the kids engaged and inspired. I spend my days trying to figure out how to do that and how to take an idea that has some complexity to it, and turn it into something intuitive for kids,” said Christensen. “ It’s a natural fit and this is a school district that the superintendent is about inspiring kids. I’m impressed with the teachers I’ve met here. The administration, the teachers are the first rate, and this building is gorgeous,” he added. Hattie Buikema Instructional Coach and STEAM coordinator brought the kids out during the event to demonstrate a rocket they built and blasted it off. “They built the rocket from scratch and tiny, tiny pieces. They cut the pieces into the cardboard and measured down to inches. They did it all within just a few days of school. It’s what we’ve already accomplished. They also worked on how to operate the machinery. I’m very proud of them and it’s handsoff activity, “ said Buikema.

Adams charts top population growth BY LIAM ADAMS LADAMS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Adams County and its municipalities were among the highest growing areas in Colorado, new 2020 Census data shows. Adams County added 77,969 new people between 2010 and 2020, a nearly 18% increase. It ranked the fourth highest in Colorado for counties with the greatest numeric population growth. Weld County was fifth on the list because of its 72,513 new people, a 30% increase, according to 2020 Census data organized by the Redistricting Data Hub. Adams County’s total growth is related to the population increases in its municipalities. There are 23,095 more people in Thornton, 16,505 in Commerce City,

10,203 in Westminster, 6,731 in Brighton, and 2,342 in Northglenn since 2010. Fort Lupton added 578 new people. Thornton was sixth, Commerce City was ninth, and Westminster was 17th for the top 20 municipalities in Colorado with the greatest numeric population growth, the Redistricting Data Hub reported. The U.S. Census Bureau released the first detailed population counts from the 2020 Census on Aug. 12. The data the Redistricting Data Hub provided has not been validated against Colorado’s redistricting body, the organization said. The recent data release includes population, demographic, and age information for counties and cities. Forty-one percent of people

in Adams County identify as Hispanic or Latino and 46% identify as White alone. According to the Washington Post, Adams County is one of 65 counties in the U.S. that became majority-minority in the past decade. Twenty-nine percent of people in Weld County identify as Hispanic or Latino and 62% identify as White alone. Thirty-six percent of people in Thornton, 23% in Westminster, 37% in Northglenn, 43% in Brighton, 49% in Commerce City, and 55% in Fort Lupton identify as Hispanic or Latino. The population of people who identify as White alone in each city is 51% in Thornton, 64% in Westminster, 52% in Northglenn, 49% in Brighton, 40% in Commerce City, and 40% in Fort Lupton.

Fire departments receive grant STAFF REPORT

Seven fire departments in the north Denver metro region received grant funding to purchase and install emergency access technology at commercial buildings. The Federal Emergency Management Agency is giving $1.25 million to the Thornton, Westminster, Federal Heights, and Brighton fire departments and the North Metro, Adams County, and South Adams County fire rescue districts to implement a new electronic rapid access system, according to a Thornton Fire Department news release. The departments will use the funding to purchase small metal boxes, called Knox Boxes, to

install at businesses that opens doors. Firefighters remotely access the boxes in emergencies to enter the buildings. The North Area Fire Marshalls said in the news release, “Addressing fire and life safety issues is a top priority for our departments, and we are excited to be the largest regional effort to implement an Electronic Rapid Access System. This system reinforces our commitment to our community in providing professional and exceptional services for life and fire safety.” Several North area fire departments have already started retrofitting a total of 6,400 businesses – at no additional cost to the departments.

Commerce City man faces murder charges after shooting STAFF REPORT

BRIGHTON -- A 27-year-old Commerce City man faces first-degree and attempted first-degree murder after an Aug. 3 incident near Fairfax Park. The 17th Judicial District Office filed the charges against Andrew

Reineke Aug. 16. His next court appearance is at 9 a.m. Oct. 15 in Adams County District Court Division G. The DA also filed first-degree assault, menacing and crime of violence charges. Authorities said Reineke shot and killed a 65-year-old man before taking a shot at a Commerce City police

officer. A statement from Commerce City officials said six officers shot Reineke several times. Reineke went to an area hospital for treatment of several gunshot wounds. The original call was for shots fired in the 77100 block of Grape Street. Officers found the deceased victim when they arrived at the scene. Of-

ficers then found a potential suspect in the 6900 block of Fairfax Drive. A city statement said while officers were talking to that person, another man started shooting at officers. A bullet struck an officer’s sleeve; no officers were injured. Detectives searched the area for additional suspects but found none.

trict,” Loria said. “There are a lot of areas we feel very proud of.” All the billboards will be in both English and Spanish and will be up for about eight weeks. The first billboard, located at I-270 and I-76, features a student in a space suit with the words “Ready to visit Mars?” It’s meant to promote a new space STEM program that is offered at the newly built Alsup Elementary school. The school is working with the Aldrin Family Foundation on the curriculum. The other billboards will highlight the district’s bilingual and dual language offerings — the district launched its first dual language program at one elementary school this fall — as well as various career and technical programs offered at Adams City High School. The high school, which like the district is under state orders to improve, has focused on creating what officials call “pathways,” helping connect students with careers and giving them a leg up on experience or credentials toward jobs or degrees in those industries. The high school culinary arts team won a state competition in 2019, earning the students thousands of dollars in scholarships. High school seniors were among the students targeted by district home visits last week, Loria said, and the reasons they hadn’t enrolled are complex.

with the family foundation for Buzz Aldrin. It really shows our students here in Commerce City, that if you study hard and work hard you can go to Mars or the moon. It’s exciting and awesome that STEM is being brought here. I can’t wait to see the results,” said Senator Moreno. Shelli Brunswick CEO of the Space Foundation and was formally in the U.S. Air Force working primarily on space. She also attended the event educating and inspiring students to what the future holds. “This program is amazing because the growing global space economy is $447 billion. And it’s going to grow exponentially in the next 20 years to be over $3 trillion. We want these students to be able to be part of that growing space ecosystem. And that includes jobs right here on Earth, whether it’s entrepreneurs, business leaders, artists or astronauts, and rocket scientists,” said Brunswick. Brunswick said the Space foundation wants to be a partner to help create that space inspires curriculum, so students can find a career path. “So now there’s a U.S. Space Force and all these students who are here today, can be called guardians, and they can join the U.S. Space Force. They can operate satellites in space and protect all those channels of commerce. Just think as we go on to the Moon and Mars, we’re going to need those guardians to protect all of us so that we’re safe,” said Brunswick. “You can also create jobs here on Earth and whether you want to be a guardian in the U.S. Space Force, or you want to be an entrepreneur right here in the beautiful Mile High City of Denver, we’re going to help you find your dream and the sky is not the limit.”

CHSAA optimistic after stretch that hurt revenue BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Colorado High School Activities Association Commissioner Rhonda Blanford-Green and her staff have endured many difficult months with canceled seasons and state tournaments, COVID-19 quarantines, protests, masks, a large dip in revenues and sports seasons being switched. Now, the CHSAA is feeling optimistic about the upcoming 2021-22 seasons. The COVID pandemic forced the boys and girls state basketball tournaments to be canceled in 2020 and all spring sports seasons were also called off which helped create a CHSAA revenue deficit of $500,000. Masks were required for athletes and the limited amount of spectators were allowed last fall for seasons with abbreviated schedules. Some sports had their seasons moved but all sports wound up with 2020-21 state championship meets, matches and games. “I knew what I had to deal with and we stayed focused on what needed to get done,” Blanford-Green said Aug. 16 on CHSAA Media Day at Empower Field at Mile High. “The challenges were there but our office is competitive. We are going to focus

on positivity and not be reacting to the stuff that’s out there.” Some of the COVID-safety decisions were made by the state and not by the CHSAA, but people were polarized. “The public, our legislators, some of our coaches and some of our community leaders make us realize why we are here which resulted in protests and it was said the CHSAA doesn’t get it,” she continued. “We get it. It’s student athletes, not athlete students. “The public and parents and some of our administrators and some of our media want to exaggerate that athletics trumped education,” she said. “It became clear that we were going to have to look at what it meant. Nobody protested to me about cross country, nobody protested about volleyball. We had club volleyball playing indoors with masks but yet CHSAA couldn’t play. “Nobody wrote a story about our girls. It was all about the 2.1% of kids that even played college football. We have more kids that get volleyball and soccer scholarships than football. We struggled with the inequities of the public fighting for one sport and not student leadership.” This year the state volleyball and basketball tournaments were moved

to the Broadmoor World Arena in Colorado Springs. The state football championship games were played at CSU-Pueblo. The wrestling state championships were held at the Southwest Motors Events Center in Pueblo while the state baseball finals were played at All-Star Park in Lakewood. The soccer title matches were in Colorado Springs. The CHSAA was notified that the Denver Coliseum will continue to be a shelter until the first of the year, meaning this season’s state volleyball tournament will have to be relocated again. The 4A/5A boys and girls basketball finals hope to be played at the Coliseum and the 4A/5A state football championship games are set for Empower Field. The state wrestling tournament is seeking to return to Ball Arena. This year, with the absence of executive public health orders from the state, local health departments and school districts will be making decisions on requirements for spectators and the number of fans allowed to watch. Jeffco, for instance, will require masks to be worn by fans at volleyball and gymnastics. “The Coliseum has kind of been a home for CHSAA indoor sports until the disruption last year,” BlanfordGreen said. “We had so many groups

step up and say, ‘What do you need from us?’ And it tells you the World Arena, we walked in and every event we held, there was a guarantee to offset some of our costs. We had a bunch of groups out there say we never had the opportunity to be considered for a CHSAA event so we want to sweeten the pot.” Without the state basketball tournaments and limited spectators allowed at other events, the CHSAA now faces a revenue shortfall that has BlanfordGreen’s staff working to secure existing and new corporate sponsors. “We are in a recovery mode financially,” Blanford-Green admitted. “You get shut down in March and that’s one of your biggest revenue producers. You still have the overhead costs from renting those facilities and then you have spring sports with limited capacities. Our No. 1 goal is getting back to where we were prior to the pandemic. ... Yeah, we’re about a half million dollars down.” Players and coaches from football teams attending Media Day included Valor Christian, Legend and Lutheran. Among the attending fall sports athletes were Cherry Creek cross country standout Riley Stewart, Regis Jesuit field hockey players Ellie Johnson and Paris Corporon and Littleton unified bowler Giovanni Perez.
