New COVID-19 restrictions will prohibit dining, to personal Beloved former highindoor school begatherings razed Commerce City structure has seen much abuse in years since closing BY YESENIA ROBLES CHALKBEAT COLORADO

Heartbroken but worried about potentially fatal hazards, the Adams 14 school board has made way for the demolition of a beloved former school building that has endured a fire, squatters, and likely a meth lab. Continuing safety threats are so severe that demolishing the old Adams City High School is the best choice, an insurance representative told the board last week. The decision was difficult for members of the board and public who had hoped to realize previous plans to renovate the campus for usable public space. “It’s unfortunate the district in the past hasn’t taken care of these buildings to let them get to this kind of disrepair,” board President Ramona Lewis said. The former high school has been empty since 2009 when the district moved high school students to a new building off of Quebec Parkway. The insurance representative told the school board of vandalism and break-ins over the last 12 years. People who have broken in have destroyed at least 15 pianos and other school furniture left in the building. This summer, a fire damaged the roof of the building where people were known to break in and have

parties. The structure is so unstable that it poses a risk to anyone walking in, officials have determined. Even the insurance representative had trouble getting fire officials to grant him access, he said. “It’s an accident waiting to happen,” the insurance representative told the school board. The former site of Adams City High School on 4525 E. 68th Ave. is next to the district’s newest building, Alsup Elementary School. “You’ve got this situation 50 yards from a brand-new school. It’s just not a safe situation,” the representative said. Lewis said she heard fire department officials say they were concerned that if there were another fire on the site, having to go in to put it out or clear the building would pose a big risk to firefighters. The insurance representative also said that recent tests showed evidence of meth on every indoor surface, likely evidence of a meth lab there at some point. During a visit to evaluate the building, the insurance team, accompanied by city officials, called police on trespassers. Arriving officers said they’ve responded often to the site for break-ins. If someone who trespasses onto the property were to get hurt, it could be a liability for the district, the insurance representative told the board. In December 2012, then-superintendent Pat Sanchez announced that after conducting a feasibility study, holding several community forums, and getting board support,

the district would demolish part of the campus and renovate another part into space that could be used for teacher training and leased to host meetings. Part of the campus was demolished, but the renovation never happened. Former board member David Rolla said he recalls that it was a cost issue. “We didn’t have enough money,” Rolla said. “It ended up costing more than we thought it would.” Eddie Storz, the district’s executive director of finance, confirmed that due to “a budget imbalance,” the project was put on hold. Board member Connie Quintana, who didn’t join the board until later, recalled that a former operations employee patrolled the buildings at night. But after he passed away, his position went unfilled. “I was deeply concerned about it,”

Quintana said. “A lot of the community that grew up here and went to school here will feel really bad about it. But hopefully people will understand our concern. We have to make sure everybody is safe around there.” The security director position in the district is one of many top administrative positions that have had a lot of turnover in previous years. New Superintendent Karla Loria told the state board earlier this month that she was hiring a security director, a role that was vacated over the summer and had not yet been filled by MGT, the district’s external management company. School board member Renee Lovato said she’s had meetings recently at the new elementary building, and she’s looked out the window to see people bicycling and walking past the old high school site. “It’s near and dear to a lot of our community members because so many of us graduated from there,” Lovato said. “My parents graduated from there, but I just think at this point it’s in such disarray we have no choice.” Lovato said that while the school demolition is heartbreaking, she wants to “allow it to be usable space that’s not a hindrance and a danger to our community and to our children.” This story is from Chalkbeat Colorado, a nonprofit news site covering educational change in public schools.

Oil & gas firm slapped with Colo.’s 2nd-largest state fine ever BY MARK JAFFE THE COLORADO SUN

After concluding that oil and gas operator KP Kauffman Co. had engaged in “a pattern of violations,” fines for the company were boosted to $2 million, the second-largest penalty ever issued by the Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission. In August, the commission levied a $1.8 million fine on the Denverbased company, known as KPK, for 22 violations at seven sites, but at a recent hearing the COGCC staff argued that the company’s failures were not isolated incidents and that an “aggravating” multiplier should be applied. The largest fine, $18.25 million, was issued in 2020 to Occidental Petroleum Corp., the state’s largest operator, for a 2017 house explosion in Firestone that killed two people. Jeremy Ferrin, the commission’s enforcement supervisor, said KPK was “a poster child” for the use of additional enforcement tools such as the multiplier or suspension of operating certificates. “This is a situation where we need to do something.” The five members of the commission unanimously agreed, boosting the fine Sept. 21. “There was persistent disregard for the commission’s authority on multiple occasions,” Commissioner Priya Nanjappa said. “There was a pattern of violations.” Commissioner John Messner said he “found many of the facts around

this hearing to be very disturbing … there were systematic deficiencies.” KPK operates low-producing oil and gas wells on the Front Range, wells mainly acquired from other companies. According to DrillingEdge, KPK has 1,250 wells in Weld County, 125 in Adams County, 53 in Arapahoe County and seven in Elbert County, among others. It has a field office in Fort Lupton. The majority of the wells produce the equivalent of less than a barrel of oil a day, and only five of the company’s wells produce more than 10 barrels a day, according to an analysis by the League of Oil and Gas Impacted Coloradans, or LOGIC, a nonprofit community group. Some of the violations centered on flow lines, which carry oil, gas and water to collection tanks and have been a source of leaks and spills, according to COGCC inspections. One of the violations was for trucking contaminated soil away from a well site and spreading it on a field behind a company office without a permit. The notice of alleged violations, referred to in testimony as NOAVs, for the seven sites followed an order in April to shut 87 wells and clean up 29 sites for violations that included fouling farm fields and covering a road with oily waste. Those earlier infractions were not part of the case before the commission this week. In commission testimony over Zoom, Kevin P. Kauffman, 65, KPK’s

Folk Music Legends

founder and CEO, said that the collapse of oil prices and the pandemic had hobbled the company’s ability to operate and deal with compliance issues. “We have not performed as well as we might have under these difficult situations,” Kaufman said. He also conceded that relations between KPK and the commission staff have deteriorated. “I am truly sorry.” “We are committed to improving,” Kauffman said. “I hope you will give me a chance to show what an excellent operator KPK can be.” Over the course of the hearing Kauffman and other KPK staff gave a litany of reasons for problems at their sites, including historic contamination that was there when they took over the properties, other oil and gas operators damaging their flowlines, COGCC not getting back to company requests in a timely manner, and landowners not letting the company onto to their property to correct violations. “It seems that a lot of these situations were somebody else’s problem,” Messner said. “Are you trying to insinuate that the majority of the NOAVs, the spills, these situations are not KPK’s responsibility?” “Without breaking it down,” Kauffman replied, “it is difficult to answer your question.” The commission still has to decide whether to impose other penalties, such as suspending KPK’s certificates of clearance, which allow it to sell its oil and natural gas, and to determine the company’s ability to

pay the $2 million fine. In testimony, company officials said KPK could not even pay half of the proposed fine. KPK is already dealing with a a $3.5 million settlement with federal and state air quality regulators over emission violations from its tanks that included $2.5 million in equipment upgrades and a $1 million civil penalty. “Enhancing already steep penalties will not achieve the [goals] we want to achieve,” Kirk Mueller, an attorney for KPK told the commission. A majority of the commission appeared to agree. “I want to see compliance, this is more important to me than the penalties,” Commissioner Bill Gonzalez said. Messner proposed suspending part of the penalty pending completion of a remediation plan with tight deadlines. The hearing was adjourned until October to give KPK and COGCC staff time to work out a proposed remediation plan. Commission Chairman Jeff Robbins will oversee the negotiations. “We have a very bright future,” Kauffman said, “if the commission will allow.” This story is from The Colorado Sun, a journalist-owned news outlet based in Denver and covering the state.

Howard, PVHS teacher, coach, dies BY STEVE SMITH SSMITH@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Nate Howard, a science teacher and coach at Prairie View High School, passed away Sept. 24. “We are terribly saddened by this tremendous loss of an incredible colleague, educator, husband, father and overall good human being,” said a letter from Principal Mike Burke to PVHS families. Howard was at PVHS the past 11 years. Several of his former students and athletes took to Facebook. “Rest easy coach. Grateful for the memories,” said Donovan Otero, who played football and ran track for the ThunderHawks. RJ Ramirez met Howard as a ninth-grader. “I was standing by a door to coach (Todd) Riccio’s room, and I got a tap on my shoulder,” Ramirez said. “He was daring me to come out and go to the varsity players’ room. I thought, ‘What did I do?’ It was Coach Howard. He looked at me and said, ‘You’d better not (bleeping) make me regret this.’ He gave me my first shot. He terrified me that day. But after that, it was nothing but confidence-builders. He did a lot for us.” “RIP my cousin,” said Nathan D. Mitchell. “You are coaching in a better place.” One of Howard’s former players called him “a teacher and a coach to most kids.” “But he was someone kids looked up to,” said Ashtyn DeLorenzo.

“He knew how to make an impact and touch people’s hearts. He knew each student could leave PVHS knowing they had a bright future ahead of them. I was lucky enough to have him as my basketball and golf coach. Howard believed in each one of his players. Not a day went by without him making jokes in practice because he just loved to see us girls smile.” Howard worked alongside Riccio, now the coach at Mountain Range High School. “Dr. Nate Howard was a kind, caring and passionate husband, father, teacher, mentor and coach to so many,” Riccio said. “He dedicated his life to helping others and giving to everyone and anyone. He had a personality and way about him that made people want to follow him, and he would light up a room when he entered it.” Howard was a Colorado native. He was an adjunct faculty member at Metropolitan State University and at the Community College of Denver, where he taught biology for nonmajors and anatomy and physiology. He also was an educational consultant for the Colorado Department of Parks & Wildlife. Howard earned his bachelor’s degree in science education from Clark Atlanta University and his master’s in environmental population and organismic biology from the University of Colorado in Boulder. He also earned a doctorate in educational leadership from the

University of Phoenix. “Dr. Howard was always looking for opportunities for our students to have unique learning experiences that would make a connection with his students,” Burke’s letter said. “This year, we started our inaugural year with the Lincoln Hills Cares, a nonprofit organization that focuses on ecology and conservation.” Howard was the CEO.. “He was the driving force that created and brought this program to our students so they would have the ability to do field work in environmental science and set students on the path for our college environmental science course.” Howard was an assistant football coach with the ThunderHawks and coached the girls basketball team for four seasons. PVHS made the postseason each year and advanced to the second round in the 2018-2019 season. “I can’t not believe you are really gone,” said one of Howard’s former players, Trista Skinner, on Facebook. “It was just yesterday (Sept. 23) I was writing my wedding invitation to you and your family and was so excited to share the news that

your ‘little girl’ finally got her crap together.” “He would rarely call us by our names,” DeLorenzo said. “it was always ‘babygirl’ because he looked at each one of his players as one of his own. He was so proud of me when I got an offer to play collegiate basketball. If it wasn’t for him I would have never played basketball at the next level. He pushed me in practice every day because he knew I could always be better.” “Easily the best class and teacher to have,” PJ Gallegos posted to Facebook. “A great mentor/coach on the field. I appreciate all the nicknames and pep talks you gave me on and off the field. “Heaven gained a warrior.” “Dr. Nate Howard was truly an exceptional one-of-a-kind human being that will be sorely missed,” Riccio said. “He was a lively character and hilarious,.” Ramirez said. “He’d always be cracking jokes. He had a big smile. You wanted to engage with him because of how he smiled. He was a great, amazing character.” Burke said grief counseling will be available to students and staff. “Life is previous,” Burke’s letter said. “Be good to others and do not take our time together for granted.” “You impacted my life in so many ways and truly shaped me into the person I am today,” Skinner posted on Facebook. “You never gave up on me, you pushed me until you knew I was on the right path. You were a mentor and the one I looked up to. You will always be my coach and best friend.” “He was the kind of man that was supposed to live forever and see his basketball girls grow up,” DeLorenzo said. “I was fortunate enough to be one of his players and was there for his first and last time coaching PVHS varsity basketball. Heaven gained one of the greatest men to walk this earth” “When I drove home (Sept. 24), I said, ‘thank you’ to him (Howard),” Ramirez said. “He gave me the opportunity. Without that, I would not have been the athlete I was, nor would I have had the confidence I had.”

La Estrellita celebrates 35 years of tradition BY BELEN WARD BWARD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

It was in the 1950s when La Estrellita Mexican Restaurant first opened its doors serving up Mexican food specialties to Mexican nationals for more than 12 years in Fort Lupton at Harrison Avenue and Ninth Street. Today, the third generation has continued its tradition of serving specialty dishes. “My grandpa, Salome Montoya, and grandma Stella came from New Mexico. My grandpa bought a building on the corner of Harrison and Ninth. It’s the building with the large eagle painted on the side. He did not know what to do with it. Without any experience in the restaurant industry,

he decided to open a restaurant,” said Gina Von Ah owner of La Estrellita. When Montoya opened the restaurant, he found a lady from Mexico to teach his wife, Stella, how to cook. She helped her and was hired. “The lady did not have a car, so they would have to pick her up and bring her to the restaurant to work,” said Von Ah. Years after the Fort Lupton restaurant closed, Von Ah’s dad, John Montoya, and mom Ramona reopened the restaurant in Brighton (in 1986) when she was 12. Her three brothers worked at the restaurant, and they owned four restaurants at one point, so it was developed into a corporation. “Once I got old enough I started to

work for my dad. So, we all worked the restaurants and expanded to Boulder. It was our second restaurant, and it lasted 12 years, then expanded to Westminster and also had one in Evergreen. Then little things happened, and we started shutting them down and ended with this original one here in Brighton (45 N. Main St.), which has been in existence for 35 years,” said Von Ah. Gina and her husband, Tim Von Ah, are the owners of La Estrellita Mexican restaurant and have three daughters; one may carry on the tradition when she grows up, says Von Ah. Anniversary gifts The restaurant is giving away T-

shirts and frisbees for the kids. Then on Oct. 11, the 35th anniversary, they will have menu specials and serve free cake. “We wanted to celebrate because we’ve had so much support from this community and it’s been amazing.” Von Ah said. “During COVID, everyone was coming in and giving incredible tips to the waitstaff, knowing that they were not working. And it was awesome. The employees are amazing.” For the future, Von Ah said the plans are to expand somewhere. “We’re waiting because the supply chain right now -- with COVID has been a little rough. But we plan to eventually expand again,” she said.

Keep Up the Progress in Adams 14 Schools Dear Commerce City Residents, This week, Adams 14 Schools Succeed (MGT) and Adams County School District 14 face a deadline to report our progress to the state. We don’t know how that’s going to go, but we want to share what we do know: 1. Until this summer, Adams 14 schools were making tremendous progress. The graduation rate was increasing, the dropout rate was decreasing, and students had more opportunities. 2.

In August, our team was locked out of the district, and we couldn’t provide support to schools.

3. If we are allowed to continue to support students in a professional work environment, we believe we could accomplish so much together. There is so much potential in Adams 14. We will continue to keep in touch with the community. If you would like to reach us, email adams14@mgtconsulting. com. Sincerely, Adams 14 Schools Succeed (MGT)

Mantenga el Progreso en Las Escuelas de Adams 14 Estimados residentes de Commerce City: Esta semana, Adams 14 Schools Succeed (MGT) y el Distrito Escolar 14 del Condado de Adams enfrentan una fecha límite para informar al estado sobre nuestro progreso. No sabemos cómo va a ir eso, pero queremos compartir lo que hacemos ahora: 1. Hasta este verano, las escuelas Adams 14 estaban progresando enormemente. La tasa de graduación estaba aumentando, la tasa de deserción estaba disminuyendo y los estudiantes tenían más oportunidades. 2.

En agosto, nuestro equipo se quedó fuera del distrito y no pudimos brindar apoyo a las escuelas.

3. Si se nos permite continuar apoyando a los estudiantes en un entorno de trabajo profesional, creemos que podríamos lograr mucho juntos. Hay mucho potencial en Adams 14. Seguiremos en contacto con la comunidad. Si desea comunicarse con nosotros, envíe un correo electrónico a adams14@mgtconsulting.com. Atentamente, Adams 14 Schools Succeed (MGT)

Colo.’s hospitals have bent, but not broken, during new COVID surge BY JOHN INGOLD THE COLORADO SUN

Nearly 19 months in, these are some of the toughest days for Colorado hospitals during the coronavirus pandemic. Even as the latest surge in coronavirus hospitalizations appears to have plateaued — what state epidemiologist Dr. Rachel Herlihy recently called an “unstable equilibrium” — hospitals across Colorado have still been scrambling to add critical-care beds and some have been postponing non-emergent surgeries in order to free up space. As of Sept. 23, Colorado had a scant 148 ICU beds available statewide and 28% of hospitals were expecting to experience a staff shortage within the next week. Hospital leaders speak of staff burnout, of trouble keeping employees when lucrative gigs as traveling nurses to COVID hotspots abound. Despite the renewed — and exhausting — strain on the system, things in Colorado are nowhere near as bad as they are in other parts of the country. Amid crushing waves of delta variant-driven coronavirus infections, hospitals statewide in Idaho are operating under “crisis standards of care” — essentially rationing care because COVID cases have so overwhelmed the available resources. Some hospitals in Alaska and Montana have done the same. The governor of Wyoming called in the National Guard to his state’s hospitals. “We are very, very full, and are concerned right now,” said Dan Weaver, the vice president for communications at UCHealth. “But we are not at the level of some of those hospitals in other states.” How has Colorado been able to avoid the hospital horror of other Western states? State health leaders point to two factors. First, Colorado’s vaccination rate makes a big difference. In the Mountain West, Colorado has the second-highest vaccination rate in the region, behind only New Mexico. Put another way, of all the

landlocked U.S. states, Colorado’s fully vaccinated rate is third-best. As of Sept. 23, nearly 60% of people in Colorado are fully immunized against COVID-19. (This figure is for the entire population, including kids too young to be vaccinated.) In Wyoming, the rate is only about 41%. And there is a clear connection between vaccination status and hospitalization. On Sept. 23, 80% of those hospitalized in Colorado with COVID-19 were unvaccinated against the disease, according to state data. Scott Bookman, the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment’s incident commander for the pandemic, pointed to the vaccination rate as the No. 1 reason that Colorado hospitals have not exceeded their capacity during the latest surge. “The reason our hospitals are doing better than hospitals in many other states is simply because our vaccination rates are so high in Colorado,” he said. The other factor working in Colorado’s favor is that it has a lot more hospital beds than neighboring states. Prior to the pandemic, Colorado hospitals had been on a building binge — sometimes building new hospitals in already well-served areas where critics said they weren’t needed. As of 2019, Colorado had more than 10,600 hospital beds in the state, according to the Kaiser Family Foundation, a nonpartisan health care think tank. Utah, for comparison, had only about 5,600 beds. Hospital leaders defended all the construction by saying that the state was growing and that the capacity would come in handy, even if hospital beds sat empty at first. “You can’t build a highway system for a Sunday morning,” Katherine Mulready, the Colorado Hospital Association’s chief strategy officer, said at a forum in January 2019, right before the pandemic struck and while hospital costs were under intense scrutiny at the state legislature. “You have to build it for rush hour.” On a per capita basis, Colorado’s hospital capacity isn’t all that impressive. Again using 2019 figures, the Kaiser Family Foundation calcu-

lated that Colorado had 1.85 hospital beds for every 1,000 people, among the lowest rates in the nation. But many Colorado hospitals, prepandemic, had also positioned themselves as regional health centers, often treating patients from far-flung areas of neighboring states as well as those from Colorado. This meant some hospitals placed an emphasis on flexibility, creating an accordionlike ability to expand rapidly when needed. “We are grateful for every hospital bed that we have and we are fortunate that we have systems that have built up for surge capacity, preCOVID,” said Cara Welch, a Colorado Hospital Association spokeswoman. Out-of-state patients don’t appear to be contributing much to Colorado hospitals’ COVID burden Elsewhere in the U.S., case surges in one state have sometimes spilled over to create problems in another. The New York Times recently reported on how Idaho’s COVID explosion is having consequences for neighboring Washington state, where transfers of Idaho patients are rapidly filling hospitals. At best, it’s unclear how much this is happening in Colorado. On Sept. 22, Herlihy pointed to packed hospitals in Larimer and Weld counties and said it’s possible that cases from Wyoming are contributing to the crowding. (The state does not track residency status of hospitalized patients.) “That certainly could be part of what we’re seeing right now,” she said. But the major operators of hospitals in northern Colorado said they are not seeing many out-of-state patients. At UCHealth, which has three hospitals in Larimer and Weld counties, out-of-state patients appear to be adding very little to the capacity crunch. Weaver said only about 1% to 2% of the COVID patients hospitalized across the UCHealth system are from out-of-state. “The vast, vast majority of our patients are from Colorado,” he said. Banner Health, which operates several hospitals across Northern Colorado, said the same.

“Our hospitals are extremely busy with very sick COVID and non-COVID patients,” Sara Quale, a Banner spokeswoman, wrote in an email. “We are running at or over normal capacity in our three (Northern Colorado) hospitals. This week we had fewer than five patients from other states out of about 220 patients hospitalized with us.” Just because Colorado hospitals aren’t as strained as those elsewhere in the country, it doesn’t mean they aren’t suffering right now. Hospitals in the HealthOne system, such as Presbyterian/St. Luke’s Medical Center in Denver and The Medical Center of Aurora, have seen COVID-19 patient admissions triple over the past 30 days, a spokeswoman said. About a third of those admitted need to be treated in the intensive care unit, and about half of those in the ICU are on ventilators. But, the spokesman said, ICU capacity at HealthOne hospitals remains stable and the facilities have not had to convert additional spaces into makeshift intensive-care wards. Centura Health, which operates hospitals such as St. Anthony Hospital, is seeing its highest level of ventilator use of the entire pandemic — though ventilators are used by more than just COVID patients. And just about every hospital says staffing is a much bigger challenge than having an adequate number of beds available to take in new patients. Centura has been “flexing” staffing across its various hospitals and clinics, to make sure it has workers where it needs them most. Other hospitals have been hiring temporary traveling nurses, who come at a high cost during the pandemic. “Staffing is definitely still the concern everywhere,” said Welch, the Colorado Hospital Association spokeswoman. “The beds are there; the staff are not.” This story is from The Colorado Sun, a journalist-owned news outlet based in Denver and covering the state.
