Customers to see $16.50 per month increase after PUC approval

BY MARK JAFFE THE COLORADO SUN

The average electric bill for Xcel Energy’s residential customers will go up $5.24 a month — a 6.4% increase — starting in April under a $182 million rate hike approved Wednesday by the Colorado Public Utilities Commission.

The PUC voted 3-0 to accept the increase, which was agreed upon in rate-case ne-

gotiations that included the Colorado Utility Consumer Advocate and Energy Outreach Colorado, a nonprofit advocacy organization that, among other things, helps low-income households pay utility bills.

“Although a 6.42% rate is troubling to me, I find the settlement is just and reasonable,” Commissioner John Gavin said.

Rates for the average small commercial customer will also rise 6.2% or about $6.62 a month.

There will be more Xcel Energy electricity rate cases to come, said Ron Davis, the commission’s chief adviser.

No charges for deputies in March 2021 shooting STAFF REPORT

The 17th Judicial District Attorney’s Office will not charge two Adams County sheriff’s deputies for their roles in a March 2021 shooting in unincorporated Adams County.

One of the deputies, James Graham, tried to make a traffic stop of a Mercedes near 70th Avenue and Broadway. A letter from DA Brian Mason to AdCo Sheriff Rick Reigenborn said the vehicle was driving at a high rate of speed and passing cars in the median. Instead, the car continued toward the exit for southbound I-25 when it struck a roadway barrier.

The letter said two people — Dominick Perea and Joseph Wiley — got out of the car and went eastbound across the lanes of the freeway.

Graham gave chase, as did a Denver police officer, Steve Hammack. The two men tried to stop vehicles and open the car doors, the letter said.

“He (Graham) believed the two men were armed and that the civilians in the passing vehicles were in danger of being robbed or kidnapped if the men were to enter a vehicle.”

Perea succeeded in getting into a car and laid down on top of a female driver. The letter said Graham caught up with the vehicle but found the door was locked. He broke out the driver’s side window and heard the woman scream for help. The letter said Perea was fighting with the driver to keep the car in motion.

After ignoring several orders to get out of the car, the letter said Graham swung his baton at Perea, then tried to use a Taser, which was “ineffective,” the letter said. Officer Hammack tried to use his Taser, too, without success.

A second deputy, Layne Paintin, helped the other officers to remove Perea from the car. Perea resisted, the letter said. During that struggle, Paintin struck Perea in the head.

Authorities later arrested Wiley.

Mason’s letter to the sheriff said the physical force used in this instance was justified.

“Here, Deputy Graham resorted to the use of physical force ... only after it became apparent that the nonviolent means were unsuccessful,” Mason’s letter said. “Further, Deputy Graham used force on Mr. Perea as Mr. Perea appeared to be engaged in an effort to carjack a citizen on I-25.”

Mason also found that the use of force was “consistent with the minimization of injury to others” and that Perea posed “an immediate threat to the safety of others,” such that it required the use of force.”

Perea faces six counts, kidnapping, robbery, trespassing to a vehicle with the intent to commit a crime, vehicular eluding, driving under restraint and resisting arrest.

His arraignment is set for March 31. Wiley plead guilty to a charge of possession of a defaced weapon, one with the serial number altered or removed.

The city of Brighton said work on a controlled signal at East 144th Avenue and Sable Boulevard is in the last phase.

A Fort Morgan baseball coach died in a crash at that intersection almost three years ago. That prompted the call for a controlled traffic signal at all four corners. The city said the project is about 85 percent complete.

City spokesperson Linda Ong said the project consisted of two phases.

The first part was underground infrastructure, followed by burying overhead power lines because of conflicts. The second phase — and the most visible to traffic — is the installation of the signals and other infrastructure.

“Last week, the contract team completed the installation of the traffic signal poles,” Ong said. “The team will be installing the traffic signal components over the next week and begin testing the signal. The final components include items such as the traffic signal heads, signage, guardrail, traffic signal controller cabinet, and other similar components.”

Ong said the signal should be fully

operational by the end of the month.

Before that, the signal’s use starts with a flash test for several days.

“We ask the public to please use caution while construction is finalizing and slow speeds when approaching traffic control to keep our team safe,” Ong said. “Additionally, be prepared for the change of flow in traffic and the new configuration as the transition from a four-way stop is made to a signalized intersection.”

Adams County housing development begins Maiker breaks ground on second phase of Crossing Pointe community STAFF REPORT

Maiker Housing Partners, the former Adams County Housing Authority, is underway on its project to build a new affordable housing development with 142 units.

Maiker was joined by Adams County and Thornton officials March 3 to break ground on Crossing Pointe South, the second phase of the Crossing Pointe affordable housing community in Thornton. Maiker was awarded tax credits from the Colorado Housing and Finance Authority in 2018 to support the construction of the community.

citing scheduling conflicts with annual student testing required by the state. The state board met in a special session March 17 and voted to deny that delay, saying time is of the essence.

“I think the request to delay the hearing to June is simply something intended to limit the options of the

Board through the passage of time,” said Board Member Steve Durham, of Colorado Springs. “I will vote against this particular motion. It would appear to me, based on their own actions, the motion is unnecessary. They have known for six full weeks that they face an April deadline for their presentation.”

Board member Karla Esser of Lakewood said the district has had plenty of time.

“By now the superintendent should have been able to come up with what

“Maiker exists to create homes where people can pursue their own unique version of the American dream and Crossing Pointe South does just that,” said Maiker’s executive director, Peter LiFari. “This is important and difficult work in this rapidly increasing cost environment of housing development in Colorado, and it truly takes a village to make communities like Crossing Pointe South possible.”

Crossing Pointe South is at 4220 E. 104th Ave, a quarter-mile from the Thornton Crossroads light rail station and adjacent to its sister property, Crossing Pointe North, which was built in 2019.

While Crossing Pointe North is designated as senior living, Crossing Pointe South will be an intergenerational community serving families earning between 30% and 70% of the area median income.

It offers affordable housing for families and seniors in need of housing options with wrap-around services.

Thornton City Councilors Jessica Sandgren said she is pleased to see the project underway.

“As a Colorado native, I’ve seen housing costs on the rise firsthand and the number of families who simply cannot afford what’s out there,” Sandgren said. “If you don’t have options, you feel hopeless, and if you don’t have hope, you can’t move forward. I see this development as a piece of hope in a place that’s nice, that people can feel good about, and it’s right here in our city.”

The community offers 142 new apartment homes including one--, two- and three-bedroom units with such amenities as a fitness center, courtyards and vegetable gardens to promote a healthy lifestyle.

has been working well, this is what is not working well, that they have done a complete scan of the district and are developing a strategic plan,” Esser said.

Esser represents District 7, which includes Commerce City.

The committee cited a culture of fear and retaliation, a lack of “sound financial and human resource practices “and the overall limited improvement in student achievement and growth over many years.”

Lack of leadership claimed The 32-page report did not recommend innovation status, management by a public or private entity other than the district or conversion of schools to charter schools. Instead, the six-person committee suggested a combination of closing one or more schools and district reorganization or consolidation.

“There is evidence of lack of leadership capacity and stability at the district’s highest levels to lead turnaround work effective to increase student achievement gains,” the committee said. “Additionally, Adams City High School continues to perform at a low level, and there is a lack of a prioritized plan for the school and its students, who likely have better options that are geographically close to their homes.”

The committee said while some in the community would like to see present leadership stay on board, “many stakeholders also expressed significant concern regarding the district’s current culture and the ability of its leadership to guide turnaround efforts or unite a community in those efforts.”

Superintendent reassures teachers Loria addressed the uncertainty about the future of the district and that of district employees. She said regardless of the next steps from the state, “every teacher currently employed and in good standing in the district can be confident that their contract with remain in effect for the rest of this school year as well as the upcoming school year.”

“We have kids to teach and families to serve. You are the fundamental catalyst for these efforts,” the post said.

Loria acknowledged potential confusion about the available options to the district, but she also said “your continued efforts in our schools will remain critical to our progress and that will have a pivotal role to play” in the district’s future.

Loria said the state’s narrative “sows uncertainty and fear” within the district. She called that a “disservice to our kids as well as to all of you.”

“Nothing would be more unfair to the students and families we serve than to lose the transformational educators making a difference in their lives based on disingenuous messaging from outside this district,” her post said. “ You will be a part of our long-term future as well as that of our students, and we ask for you to make relevant decisions based on the real facts rather than fearmongering or innuendo.”

She offered future opportunities to question district leadership, the Adams 14 board and the Adams 14 teachers union.

“We know these external events are unsettling, and for that reason are even more grateful to you for your continued commitment to our students, families, and community,” Loria’s post said. “ Thank you for all that you do to ensure that the education of all of our students remains consistent, high-quality, and protected from the actions and rhetoric of external parties who do not share our commitment to their success.”

The butterflies migrate to the DAs office Quist middle school art exhibit brightens lobby

BY BELEN WARD BWARD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The Roger Quist Middle School Art Club butterflies arrived with a beautiful art installation placed at the Adams County 17th Judicial District Attorney’s Office on March 16.

“It’s just been a real thrill to partner with Quist Middle School and the outstanding students and teachers on this project,” District Attorney Brian Mason said. “Our staff with the DAs office came to Quist almost every week to work with the kids on the artwork. And now today, we get to see the fruits of their labors. And it’s a fantastic exhibit, and it brightens up the DA’s office lobby.”

The exhibit will be on display at the DA’s office at 1000 Judicial Center Dr. in Brighton. Eventually, it should move to the Adams County Government Center, Mason said.

The art collaboration project displays more than 80 pastels on canvas and 60 butterflies representing the world’s wonders, all created by Quist Middle School Art Club students and staff from the DA’s office weekly.

About 100 families of students, 27J leadership, and DA staff came to see the exhibit.

Quist Middle School students created a butterfly art display to help them heal from the impacts of the pandemic. The Adam County District Attorney’s office heard about the art display in a Colorado Community Media story.

The DA’s office contacted Quist to partner with them on an art project that would develop connections with the community and help with therapeutic healing impacted by the COVID-19.

“The students who worked on the art are from sixth through eighth grade. It took us about four hours to put the display together at the DA’s Office,” said Taylor Marino, Quist Middle School Science teacher.

Work on the project started in October 2021, and it went on the walls at the middle school at the end of February 2022.

“We are so excited to see this display,” Marino said.

Art Club student Michael Leslie came with his family to see his butterfly, which he painted with geometric patterns.

“I really like patterns on everything.

I painted it with reds and greens with words on the back too,” said Leslie.

Izzy Sands loved spending time in the Art Club to create nature scenes.

“The company will be back in for rate requests in the next 3 or 4 years at the outside.”

Utilities’ expenses and investments are recovered through rate cases. The PUC reviews those costs to assure they are appropriate and then sets an appropriate return on the investments the company has made. In this case, for example, Xcel Energy asked for a 10% return on investment and the settlement agreement reduced it to 9.3%.

In addition to the electricity rate increase Xcel Energy also is asking for a temporary rate increase to recoup $550 million in extra electric and natural gas costs incurred as a result of a severe winter storm in February 2021, which led to a spike in natural gas prices.

Xcel Energy has put the cost of decommissioning and amortizing the remaining value of the Craig unit at $27.4 million. The costs for the two Hayden units is $77.6 million.

Rather than settling on any cost recovery method right now, Gavin and Commissioner Megan Gilman said they wanted a full review of options, particularly the use of low-cost bonds known as securitization.

“It is important for us to consider all the options,” Gilman said. “We owe it to the ratepayers to understand all the options.”

ity with more than 3 million electricity and natural gas customers, has also filed an overall natural gas rate case, seeking an $8.14 increase in the average bill over three years.

The three rate cases could raise the average Xcel Energy utility bill by $16.49 by the end of the year.

One element in the settlement agreement that the commission did not accept Wednesday was the method for recovering costs and the portion of the plant that still had not been amortized or paid off from the retirement of a coal-fired unit at the Craig Power Plant and two coal-fired units at

Mindset, faith help teen thrive after spinal cord injury

BY JORDAN AMES, CRAIG HOSPITAL SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA

SPRING AIR DUCT CLEANING SPECIALS

Noble Haskell doesn’t shy away from a challenge.

The high-school junior from Centennial (his father, Eli, coached Brighton High School’s basketball and golf teams), finds joy in pushing through despite pain. As a track and cross country running standout, he often pushed himself to the physical limit in pursuit of his dream of receiving an (NCAA) Division One college scholarship.

“Halfway through a 5K, I often felt like giving up. It was tough, but knowing I would be able to do it made me feel good,” he says.

This never-give-up mindset has helped him face the biggest challenge of his life: rehabilitating from a spinal cord injury.

In the week between the end of track season and the beginning of cross country preseason, Noble and his friends took a road trip to Branson, Missouri. On their way back, they drove through a significant rainstorm. Near Russell, Kansas, they were struck from behind by another driver. Noble’s neck was broken at the C5 level, damaging his spinal cord.

Noble was flown to Wichita, where he had two emergency surgeries to fuse his vertebrae. His mom received a call and drove through the night to

reach his bedside.

“The whole time I was driving, I felt that God kept saying, ‘Noble’s going to run again. He’s going to be OK,’” she says.

After a month in the ICU battling complications, Noble was flown from Wichita to Denver and transferred to Craig Hospital for rehabilitation.

On the first evening at Craig, his room filled with other teenage patients in the Teen Rehab at Craig (TRAC) program. “It was comforting to know that there were people my

age who seemed to be having a good time. I knew I’d be able to relate to them.”

Noble was quickly plunged into an intense therapy program.

Respiratory therapists helped him wean off a ventilator. Noble especially enjoyed physical therapy, given his love of working out. He initially only

had function above his level of injury but soon began to get feeling back in his triceps; then he was able to regain slight wrist function, then move a toe.

“As soon as we started to see those wins, things started to snowball in the right direction,” he says. “I know that not everyone gets this, and I don’t take it lightly. I’m extremely grateful.”

In addition to his physical recovery, Craig’s therapies helped him with his social and psychological recoveries.

Laura Magnuson and Cory Wendling, Craig’s teachers, helped him stay on track with school. Before his injury, Noble had been a motivated student, and he didn’t want to fall behind. Laura and Cory communicated with his high-school counselor (Haskell attends Smoky Hill High School), teachers and district representatives and helped him work through school assignments.

Through the donor-funded SCI Scholars Fund, Noble received assistive technology tools, like a voice-totext system, that allowed him to complete assignments and use a computer on his own.

Noble’s recreational therapist, Jess Klamut, helped him embrace new activities. According to Noble, he was initially a closed door and only wanted to engage in activities that SEE NOBLE, P9

would help him return to running.

“I believe you will run again, Jess said. “But in the meantime, let’s get you out having fun differently.’”

With Jess, Noble rode an adaptive bike and played games to work on finger dexterity.

“She helped me see that as much as I wished I was running, this was how I had to get there,” he says.

“You can’t eat an elephant in a day, and this would help me have fun while getting to where I want to be.”

Friendship heals During his time as an inpatient, Noble became very close to the other teens in the TRAC program. They took outings to Chatfield Reservoir, learned to navigate around a mall, went out for ice cream and saw a movie. They also spent significant time hanging out together around the hospital, playing adaptive video games and board games, and even engaging in a Nerf battle with staff members.

Noble Haskell’s vehicle after the crash that damaged his COURTESY HASKELL FAMILY spinal cord

Being with people his age was healing for Noble.

“As a 16-year-old, you’re used to hanging out with other kids all the time. As soon as an accident happens, everyone helping you is instantly older than you and it is harder to relate on a personal level. It was nice to let down my guard and relax with the other kids.”

Noble’s mom, Krisi, and her husband also benefited from get-togethers with other parents whose kids were in the TRAC program.

“The other parents knew exactly what we were going through,” she says. “It instantly connects you and develops lifelong friendships.”

After a total of 151 days in the hospital, Noble came home. He was greeted by a parade of friends and family members with confetti and banners.

He returns to Craig five days a week for outpatient therapy, specifically working on balance and walking with the help of Craig’s specialized equipment, pool and treadmill. He can take a few steps on his own with a walker.

While the entire experience of his accident and injury has been challenging, Noble has leaned on his faith and believes that he is exactly where he is supposed to be.

“Throughout this journey, when tough times come, I sit down and pray for the strength to keep going,” he says. “I would love to be an inspiration for others, and if I can inspire even one person to try something they were scared to do or take a step in life, then this all would be worth it.”
