New COVID-19 restrictions will prohibit indoorto dining, personal gatherings Adams County moves new district Redistricting commission approves plan by 11-1 vote BY SANDRA FISH, THY VO, AND JESSE PAUL THE COLORADO SUN

The 12 members of Colorado’s Independent Congressional Redistricting Commission agreed on an overhaul of the state’s U.S. House districts Sept. 28 in a vote taken minutes before a self-imposed deadline. The map would create three safe seats for Democrats, three safe seats for Republicans and two seats that could go either way. Under the plan, the Adams County cities of Northglenn, Thornton, Commerce City and Brighton would be part of the brand-new 8th Congressional District, as would most of Westminster and Fort Lupton in Weld County. The plan would leave virtually all of Douglas and Elbert counties where they are now, in the 4th Congressional District. The populated western sections of Arapahoe County, including Littleton, Englewood and Centennial, would be in the 6th District along with adjacent areas of Jefferson County, like Ken Caryl and Columbine. Most of Jefferson County would be in the 7th Congressional District, while Clear Creek County would be assigned to the 2nd District.

and loved to try new recipes. She also enjoyed history, museums, impromptu camping adventures, fishing, square dancing, and crossword puzzles. To have her on your team playing any trivia game guaranteed victory. Her hair was always perfectly quaffed, as Thursdays were set aside to have her hair styled by her very good friend, Vicki, followed by lunch at the Pepper Pod in Hudson. This tradition continued for many years. LaVernne was a member of the Brighton Jaycees, the Green Valley Grange, and the Mile-High Rock Club. She enjoyed traveling, learned to play golf, began making jewelry with precious stones she unearthed, shaped and polished on her many rockhounding forays. She retired reluctantly at age 68 for the first time, then completely by age 80.

LaVernne is survived by her son, Mark (Jodie) Flitner; daughters, Debbie Chumley (Jason Gibb), Michele/Mickey (Alvin) Gray; and eight grandchildren, Amanda (Will) Hensley, Joseph (Mandy) Reger, J.D.

Burning truck at center of emergency training exercise Multi-city first responders practice in a real-world scenario BY BELEN WARD BWARD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

It was a tense moment Sept. 30 as plumes of black smoke poured out of the back of a burning pick-up truck parked at Exxon Travel Center at Interstate 25 and State Highway 52 in Frederick. Crews from multiple city fire departments – Fort Lupton, Brighton, Frederick, Keenesburg, and Boulder Mountain View – were on hand, but unsure how to respond. They didn’t know why the truck was burning. Did it contain a bomb? Was there a risk of a chemical spill? The Incident Command Center was quickly set up at the site while the Command Operations Center was set up at the nearby Carbon Valley Emergency Response Center, ready to be a communication and resource in case things went badly and a mass evacuation became necessary. Luckily, it was a test. It was the Weld County multi-city emergency response exercise scenario that is set up annually with emergency responders and several government agencies preparing for an actual emergency. “You have a call-in, a suspicious vehicle parked with smoke coming out of it. It is a real-world scenario and the emergency responders have no idea until they get there and start working through it, “ said Jennifer Finch, Weld County Public Information Officer. More than 14 agencies with over 100 people registered to participate in the real-life scenario with the fire department’s on-site Incident Command Center working together with the Emergency Response Center manager to come up with a plan to bring in resources to investigate. “The emergency responders had no idea what was going to happen this morning,” Finch said. “Bell Cell Training Exercise Consulting was brought in by the county, they

planned the scenario. No one knows what it’s going to be, it is real-world and they don’t know what is going to be thrown at them. The scenarios are to see what works and doesn’t work.” Ideally, the Incident Command Center (ICC) works together with the Emergency Response Center (EOC) in event of a disaster. Incident Command Center is the site of disaster where emergency responders arrive to assess and investigate the situation, she said. An ICC manager communicates with EOC for resources and also if people need to be evacuated. EOC is where the agencies work together to get the resources and move people. Meanwhile, an infrastructure team works to get good information out to the teams on the ground. The Geospatial Information System (GIS) team is the web application team. When Weld County floods hit in 2013, GIS was valuable to have on the team to move people, Finch said. GIS creates the city mapping with population numbers. The mapping communicates to officials how many people are in an area and how many houses are impacted. It tells them how many shelters are available too. Other support The test wasn’t just for fire crews. A group of agencies, including the American Red Cross, set up in case a population needed to suddenly leave their homes if the fire turned more dangerous. The agencies are set up to move people to shelters, a school, or a stadium, etc. Also, it set up supplies such as oxygen for certain groups, or where to move people with animals, or transportation for people who can’t leave their homes. The test included other functions as well. A finance group was on hand to approve expenses in an emergency such as water needed and helicopters for a fire. The Logistic section helped evacuate a school but they need an interpreter to help communicate with a couple of children. Public Information Officers con-

tinue to send out press releases to the media to inform the public of the disaster and where to go to be safe. When the emergency response exercise was completed Merrie Gardner, Emergency Management Coordinator at EOC, and her team evaluated what worked and did not work at the Frederick site. “Communication between the field response and the EOC is often one of the most challenging aspects of exercises and incidents, and I was pleased with how well it went yesterday. At the end of the exercise, we compared our situation reports and they were very consistent. Another objective was to set up the EOC within 30 minutes of activation, and we accomplished this goal in just under 20 minutes.” The team identified a couple of areas for improvement. They need to continue to identify people to work in key roles at EOC. “One of those is the resource mobilization and logistics section, which is responsible for supplies, resources, and facilities that might be needed in a disaster. The processes we have in place worked well in the exercise, but in a different type of incident this section is likely to be very busy, so we anticipate a need for more people to fill this role,” said Gardner. The exercise also pointed out the need to improve some technologies in the Emergency Operations Center. “We utilized some data and mapping display tools yesterday for the first time, and quickly realized it would help to have additional screens and the ability to display information to participants in the EOC in multiple ways. We will also work on adding a more efficient printing capability and some paper maps to our EOC to make sure we build in some redundancy in case one technology doesn’t work,” said Gardner. “Overall, I think everything went well in the Emergency Operations Center (EOC). One of our primary objectives was to maintain situational awareness and a shared operating picture, and I think we accomplished that,” said Gardner.”

Mill levy override, bond issue on fall ballot STAFF REPORT

The 27J Schools board of education threw its support behind two ballot questions for the November election. The district put a mill-levy override question (question 5A) on the ballot. If approved, it would provide funds to add teachers for the district’s STEM/career and technical education programs. It would also provide a pay raise for teachers “in order to attract and retain quality staff,” according to a district press release.

The request is an increase of eight mills ($16 million), which would cost $4.63 per month per $100,000 of assessed home value. The other question is proposal 5B, a bond issue to build new schools, build a STEM/career and technical education center at each district high school, update technology and equipment and update safety and security systems. This question, if approved, would not come with a tax increase. “Simply put, the growth of our communities means the costs are shared by more households and

businesses, since their numbers have grown over time,” said 27J spokeswoman Janelle Asmus. “Our community growth is actually helping to pay for itself. The district has also paid down pre-existing bond debt, so this proposal can invest back to the previous bond level without costing taxpayers any additional money.” In a statement, the district said a bit more than one in five of its 20,000 students attend charter schools, which will benefit from the proposals. The election is Tuesday, Nov. 2.

27J district in need of staff Bus and food service, return to remote learning under consideration BY STEVE SMITH SSMITH@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The nationwide hiring shortage has hit 27J Schools. “We are in a terrible staff shortage situation all over the district,” said district spokeswoman Janelle Asmus. “Our regular operations have already been modified to use every staff person from any area to help support our work, but it’s not enough.” The district sent a letter to parents on Sept. 24. In it, it said how glad the

district was to be back to in-person learning. But it also told a different story when it comes to school and district operations. “We’re facing very severe staffing shortages and supply chain breakdowns that seriously threaten our ability to fully return to a normal school year,” the letter said. The district said illness and pandemic protocols “have created an increase in student and staff absences.” “The lack of teachers and support staff has created a liability to our classrooms, our offices and, ultimately, to our support for students,” the district said. “Adding to these problems, 27J also has a significant shortage in substitutes for these roles.” The district said it is “woefully

understaffed” to fill bus routes. Temporary replacements include mechanics, office staff, trainers and administrators. “Even with these emergency modifications, we’ve cut bus routes simply because we don’t have enough staff,” the letter said. A number of cooks and lunchroom staff didn’t return to work, the district said. The letter also pointed to “breakdowns in the U.S. supply chain as there simply isn’t enough food being produced because of a lack of truck drivers, farmworkers and workers in processing facilities.” “Our suppliers have run out of food, and we’re scrambling to buy replacement food at warehouse stores and grocery stores,” the district told parents.

The staffing shortages also impact child-care services, the district said. Some of the available remedies are reductions or elimination of bus service for days or weeks, suspension of breakfast and lunch services and a return to remote learning. “Current services can’t expand to meet increased demand without more staff,” the district told parents. “27J Schools is appealing to all parents, grandparents, retirees, neighbors and friends to seriously consider stepping into these roles. We will provide the necessary training. Some positions offer flexible schedules and can be arranged for parents to have time to take children to and from school while still working a shift.”

For Girl Scouts, new badges target STEM BY BELEN WARD BWARD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Girl Scouts may have started out focused on eight basic badges when the program started more than a century ago but times have changed and the program is upgrading its

fundamentals. “The Girl Scouts was founded over 100-years ago, so when the program started they focused on eight legacy badges. These badges are what started the program. They wanted to teach young girls how to be leaders within their community and to

have a voice,” said Emily Speck, Girl Scouts Colorado program director. The badges are skill-building, so each badge represents a specific topic to learn a new skill and knowledge. Over the years, the Girl Scouts evolved to include whatever the girls wanted to do and be when they get older and to explore the world they live in. Since the 1900s, the Girl Scouts have developed 250 badges, so if a girl scout is interested in learning something new there is a badge for it, Speck said. “It a really good time exploring skills and knowledge but also discover about a topic that is connected with themselves, and then hopefully take action within their community to help others,” said Speck. This summer, the national program unveiled a series of badges focused on STEM – Science, Technology, Engineering and Math. With the new STEM program, the girls can learn Math, the Cookie Business, and also Digital Leadership. Thornton Girl Scout Allison Estrada, 13, with Troop 62816 said she’s ready to learn. “I think it’s a good idea to learn a wide range of knowledge and it’s really interesting too,” Estrada said. “You can bring it up in conversations, meet new people, and new opportunities. Also, learning, science, technology, engineering, and mathit’s just cool.” Estrada said she is very involved with her community and exploring opportunities to help others and animals too. Estrada participates in a webinar called “Meet the Expert” by spreading “hope and happiness,” which earned her the Girl Scouts silver award for her work. “I wanted to help in this time of COVID. During the pandemic, everything is dark- a lot of people are sad - a lot of negativity. I wanted to spread joy and happiness to a lot of people and help them feel better,” said Estrada. She also volunteers in another program to help rabbits get adopted earning a bronze award. At the shelter, it was being filled with a lot of rabbits, and they were going to be euthanized. It was getting overcrowded and there wasn’t

enough space for the rabbits to be healthy, said Estrada. “ I wanted to let people know that rabbits were an option for a pet too. And apparently, two rabbits ended up getting adopted and it made me happy.” At the national level, the Girl Scouts initiative is to see more girls interested in STEM. Also teaching them about digital leadership with apps, devices, phones, and tablets. Estrada’s favorite subject is Language Arts at Century Middle School. “I like being able to put my thoughts into writing and reading and writing in general,” said Estrada. Speck has been Director with the Girls Scouts for four years. She comes from generations of girl scouts her mom and sisters were also girl scouts. Her mom was a troop leader and met her best friend in girls scouts and have been best friends ever since. “I wanted to work with the organization, and when some opportunities opened, I was fortunate to be able to work with them,” said Speck. Speck, said they are encouraging the girls to step back to take a look at what they are doing on social media, what is their footprint, how does it make them feel and how is their mental wellness experience on these apps. Also, to take a deeper thought about interacting in the digital environments. “I’m excited about the two stem badges that came out this summer. The math in nature, which is all about what it sounds like, it’s how you can find math in the outdoors. Things like the Fibonacci sequence learning about patterns, colors such as the number of petals on how it connects with math,” said speck. The Girl Scouts have conducted research and have lots of data that the programs the girl scouts participate in are excelling in school. “The girls excel on their selfesteem, confidence, and speaking up in the classroom to being a leader in their community. They engage in positive relationships across the board, they are outperforming stronger than those that weren’t able to participate in Girl Scouts,” said Speck.

DISTRICT FROM PAGE 1

Colorado’s seven incumbent U.S. House members would still live in their respective districts under the proposal, though in some instances those districts would be vastly different. Meanwhile, some announced and potential 2022 congressional candidates in Colorado will find their homes drawn into the districts they were planning to run to represent, while others won’t. Here’s a look at the eight districts in the new map: The 1st District would continue to be Denver-centric and a safe Democratic district for Democratic incumbent U.S. Rep. Diana DeGette. The 2nd District would cover the northwest Colorado counties of Routt, Jackson, Larimer, Grand, Clear Creek, Gilpin, Jackson and Summit, and also include most of Boulder and Eagle counties. It would also include parts of

Weld County and more than 1,800 people from Jefferson County. It would be a safe Democratic district for incumbent U.S. Rep. Joe Neguse, a Lafayette Democrat. The 3rd District would include most of the Western Slope and southern Colorado, including Pueblo. U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert, a Garfield County Republican who represents the district, would have a solid 9.3 percentage point advantage, per historic results. Democratic state Sen. Kerry Donovan of Vail, who is running to unseat Boebert,

The Eastern Plains, including Weld County and eastern Adams and Arapahoe counties, would also be in the district, which would remain a safe district for Republican Rep. Ken Buck, of Windsor. The 5th District would be centered in Colorado Springs, including military bases in El Paso County, and would remain a safe Republican seat for U.S. Rep. Doug Lamborn. The 6th District would remain anchored in Aurora and include much of Arapahoe County, as well as parts of Adams, Jefferson and Douglas counties. It would remain a safe Democratic district for U.S. Rep. Jason Crow, of Centennial. The 7th District would be a reconfigured, competitive district including much of Jefferson County but also Lake, Park, Teller, Chaffee, Custer and Fremont counties in the central mountains.

U.S. Rep. Ed Perlmutter, of Arvada, currently represents the district. Potential Republican challenger, state Rep. Colin Larson, of Ken Caryl, would be just across the border in the 6th District, though members of Congress don’t have to live in the district they represent. The new 8th District would include the north Denver suburbs of Thornton, Commerce City, Brighton and Northglenn, as well as most of Westminster and all of Greeley. Democratic state Rep. Yadira Caraveo, of Thornton, has already announced her bid for the seat, but the competitive nature of the seat is sure to entice Republican challengers.

Please list your top three priorities if elected Meeting Brighton’s water needs, Smarter Growth, and supporting better transportation in and out of Brighton What issue do you see shaping the city the most through the next decade and how we should respond? Meeting our water needs. We must re-tool our water treatment facility in order to meet our growing demand for water. At the same time, we need to encourage residents and developers to implement drought tolerant landscaping.

2. Preparing for our Water needs 3. Transportation issues. What issue do you see shaping the city the most through the next decade and how we should respond? Water and New Development will drive issues impacting Brighton for the next decade. These issues will impact existing residents and how new development impacts our roadway travel, water costs and future taxation to meet overall needs created by new development. We cannot forget all of our current residents who will be impacted by new development in many ways. Our concerns for the next decade should be to confirm new development has paid its own way.

Brighton Ward 1 Matt Johnston Norman R. Brown Jr. Contact: https://www. facebook.com/mattjohnstonforbrighton

Johnston

Please describe your leadership style in three words Passionate. Educated. Accessible.

Describe the skills that make you the best candidate for the job We often see politicians using catch phrases like “common sense”, “vision”, “Integrity”. Instead, I decided to make real world, applicable campaign promises to build our half streets, lower our water bills, and lower our metro district taxes. Every single campaign promise my team and I made four years ago has been accomplished! The same skills that I have used to accomplish all these things will be used to continue to provide us true representation. Please list your top three priorities if elected 1. Bridge Street is widened to four lanes from East Brighton all the way to Highway 85, and an inter-

change is built at Bridge Street and I-76 to alleviate daily East Brighton Traffic issues. 2.Water rates are not raised directly on residents after years of water price gouging has finally been halted. 3. Keep attacking Metro District tax inequity across all of East Brighton. What issue do you see shaping the city the most through the next decade and how we should respond? Water! After blowing the whistle on our former utilities department and their unethical behavior, its time now to offer solutions to our water issues: 1. Create an unrivaled non-potable system! 2. Demand water conservation landscaping across the city on new developments. 3. Create and implement grant programs to replace traditional grass yards. 4. Corporate accountability on impermeable storm water drainage. 5. Discuss ways to build the water plant that should have already been built.

I am technical by nature and past profession, so I like to have facts, data, and collaboration to make good decisions. I own my decisions. I was in public service for 40 years and retired from FEMA, I have volunteered for the city of Brighton’s emergency management since 2011. Please list your top three priorities if elected 1. Water: Brighton has doubled in size since 2000. We need to continue to seek more water supply and

better purification for our city. My focus, continuing to build our own purification systems and water sources. 2.Safe Roads and Pedestrian trails: Current infrastructure projects are opportunities for safer signage, cross walks, pedestrian trails, and connections. I want to see these opportunities realized. 3.Affordable Housing: Brighton has a need in this area.

What issue do you see shaping the city the most through the next decade and how we should respond? The issue I see most shaping our future is the decline of personal interaction. Brighton’s small-town feel slowly deteriorates as social media consumes most everyone’s time. The sense of community is going from a physical location to virtual internet groups. Brighton is great about getting our community physically gathered in social engagements by hosting special events, ceremonies, and celebrations. It is a great investment in Brighton to have our residents meet face to face often.

In this, being able to have the financial tools for economic mobility, safe neighborhoods to move into, and family friendly open spaces, with clean air and water to enjoy, are the way forward. What issue do you see shaping the city the most through the next decade and

how we should respond? The issue shaping the city most over the next decade is the torrid growth and keeping this a thriving and desired community to live in. We need to scale our services like law enforcement, alternative transportation, and attracting retail and commercial business to help support our growth. Making Commerce City a city that future generations of our community can be proud to call home, like I am to be from here, is my biggest priority.

It is critical that we focus on the physical and mental health of our neighbors and not overlook the economic implications impacting families, small businesses and government funded resources. We must be innovative in our problem solving and flexible in policies.

I see the city not being prepared to accommodate our growth financially; not having the tax revenue to grow our departments to accommodate the growing population and its infrastructure. I mean to use the growing population as a selling point for businesses to come into town and collect the tax revenue form them to grow our infrastructure. This city needs more businesses.
