Near the end of last semester, Jorge Cabral’s budget was on the brink. He carefully watched how he spent each dollar, limiting his purchases to essentials like shampoo and toilet paper and cutting corners with meals by buying rice and beans to last through each week. On top of getting no pay for his full-time student teaching job at Brighton’s Vikan Middle School, Cabral had had to shell out $90 to take an exam that would secure his teacher license early last year. “That’s two weeks of groceries if you plan it out right,” he said. “And good groceries, too.” Cabral, who graduated in December from the University of Northern Colorado, found himself “budgeting to the max” to make ends meet as an unpaid student teacher — a financial county is required to followchallenge based on the most of Colorado severity a county’seducators local virusgrapple spread. with on the path to becoming a Thelicensed dial grewteacher. out of the state’s safer-athomeNow, orderas —Colorado the policy school that came after disthetricts statewide stay-at-home order this struggle to fill classrooms withand certifi ed educators, lawmakspring allowed numerous types of ers aim to relieve some of the businesses to reopen. financial burdens with a proposed The stateprogram recently switched to color stipend to provide identifiers — levels blue, yellow student teachers help withand living orange rather House than numbered levels — to expenses.

Emma Beatrice Padilla
May 25, 1941 - March 28, 2022
Emma Beatrice Padilla, born in New Mexico on May 25, 1941, passed away on March 28, 2022. The third child of Pedro and Conferina Padilla, she was raised in Brighton, Colorado. Emma is preceded in death by her parents, and by her siblings, Mary Ann, Joseph, and JC. She is survived by her daughter, Lara Anderson (Serge), her grandchildren, Moses, Joseph (Emma) and Carmen Anderson along with her siblings; Victor (Irene) Padilla, Polly Clifford, Gil Padilla, Elizabeth Verdeal, and Linda LeBallister.
Emma was known for her love; she loved her work, books, music, gardening, and caring for her parents when she retired. Her faith was central to her life, and she was active at St. Augustine Catholic Church, a member of the Daughters of St. Monica, and a member of the Legion of St. Mary. “Everybody needs an Auntie Em,” according to her many nephews and nieces. Emma was beloved by all of them, and she formed a special bond with each in turn, providing
them with adventures, stories, and advice beyond what they ever saw at home. Emma’s troop of adventurers includes Philip, Lisa, Zach, Josh, Jake, Vickie, Allen, Sydney, Daniel, Lauren, Kelly, Daniel, Ann, Ron, Shahlaye, Derek, Shelley, Jason, Cole, Ava, Dan, Kellye, Chloe, Caitlyn, Joe, Peter, Alan, Michael, Jo, Gerald, Sarah, Jonna, Joel, Jack, Abby, Joseph, Brittany, Kolin, Janessa, Brooke, Jameson, Hunter, Sam, Mack, Finn, and Mariah. Emma was the closest to, and surrogate mother for her dear nephew, Joseph. Helping to raise him gave her such happiness. Her joy grew beyond measure when she was found by her daughter, adopted as an infant by a loving California family. Lara Anderson completed the Padilla family, with her husband Serge, and her three children, Moses, Carmen, and Joe.

way of licensing educators. Proponents of the measure are optimistic that by tackling some of the major financial hurdles for teachers in training and expanding the ways a teacher candidate can become licensed, Colorado can recruit more educators and diversify its K-12 workforce, which has long run short of teachers of color. Bill sponsor Rep. Barbara McLachlan, a Durango Democrat, worries about the number of prospective teachers who have given up on a career in education simply because they can’t afford the cost of living while continuing to pay tuition and student teach for free. “I think we probably lost a lot of good teachers over the years because of that,” said McLachlan, who taught English at Durango High School for 20 years. For first-generation college students as well as students of color and students from low-income families, the expenses associated with teacher training are often out of reach, said Jingzi Huang, director of the School of Teacher Education and associate dean for the College of Education and Behavioral Sciences at UNC. Under the legislative proposal, sponsored by Democrats and Sen. Don Coram, a Montrose Republican, student teachers committed to 16 weeks in a classroom could receive $11,000 while those spending 32 weeks at a school could earn $22,000. The legislation is intended to help students who need financial assistance, and eligibility will be tied to income thresholds, McLachlan said. “These students don’t have a lot of money anyway, and now we’re asking them to go for all these weeks without working at all,” McLachlan said. “They can’t survive.” Student teachers can hold outside jobs, but many often can’t find the time as they have to be in class during weekdays and tackle their own coursework, and some also have families to look after, said Liz Qualman, director of teacher education at Colorado Mountain College. “It is too challenging to expect a student teacher to have a second job to support themselves while engaging in coursework and student teaching,” Qualman said. She believes student teachers are shortchanged by “an archaic system,” particularly as many other fields offer paid internships. And while the teacher workforce has historically consisted of predominantly white, middle class women who grad-
uated from college and were expected to student teach without compensation, that makeup is shifting. “The landscape of who we’re trying to recruit into the workforce is changing, and if we want a diverse workforce, we can’t have that same expectation,” Qualman said. “If we want more teachers in the field, we have to be able to support them through to completion and licensure.” Cabral, who student taught at Greeley West High School and now teaches world cultures at Vikan Middle School in Brighton, felt lucky with a scholarship from UNC to help with living expenses last semester. He scraped by, determined to reach the finish line and earn his licensure so that he could have a classroom of his own. “If it came to the point where I had to take out extra student loans, I would do it because it’s really something that I love,” Cabral said. He stuck with teaching in hopes of inspiring students with backgrounds similar to his own. The Latino educator said that during his time as a student teacher, Latino boys who spoke only Spanish would ask him about his experience preparing to be a teacher. He filled them in on the process of applying to college — something he plans to keep passing onto students. Jorge Cabral, who teaches sixth through eighth grade social studies at Vikan Middle School in Brighton, started teaching full time in January 2022. (Olivia Sun, The Colorado Sun via Report for America) “There’s always the option of getting a higher education,” said Cabral, who doesn’t recall having any Latino teachers in Colorado and Wyoming, where he lived in elementary and high school. Many students of color in Colorado have similar stories, rarely encountering a teacher who looks like them throughout most of their K-12 classes. Yet the state has inched forward with diversity among educators and is “more diverse now than it has ever been,” particularly as it’s drawn more Hispanic professionals into teaching, said Colleen O’Neil, associate commissioner of the Educator Talent Unit at the Colorado Department of Education. During the 2015-16 school year, about 13.5% of the state’s teachers identified as Hispanic, O’Neil said, while last year, that percentage swelled to about 18.4%. “That’s not enough, but we want to celebrate the fact that we have been able to open some more doors,” O’Neil said, adding, “we still have schools where kids aren’t seeing teachers who represent them.”

responsible for handling technical, environmental science tasks like mapping, patrolling, and measuring land to assist conservation scientists and foresters. “When I graduate I will still be working for the West Greeley Conservation District and I will apply what I learned at Aims about soil conservation such as natural grasses, trees and shrubs to my job,” he said. Aims Community College celebrated its Ag Day open house on the Fort Lupton campus March 30, introducing families and high school students to learn about the Agriculture and Science Technology program and engaging in hands-on activities with Aims Community Partners. The students will learn about riparian zones and river water study. And also, they will learn about dairy cow farming with June, the Robotic Cow. Kapperman is helping set up the educational device called a riparian zone trailer. It demonstrates and replicates a healthy riparian zone with good vegetation habitat, good soil health, and a sound rooting system of vegetation to hold in all good soil. Sarah Madsen, a teacher at Central High School who teaches Agriculture Sciences, brought 36 students to Ag day. “They are all enrolled in an Ag class at Weld Central High School. This is a way for them to celebrate Ag Day here at Aims and learn more about the agriculture program here,” said Madsen. Madsen grew up on a farm and is passionate about agriculture. She

graduated from Weld Central and went to college for Agriculture at Colorado Southern University-Fort Collins. After she graduated, she came back to teach at Weld Central High School. Kandee Nourse, District Manager of the West Greeley Conservation District, was demonstrating the riparian zone system to the Weld Central high school students enrolled in the agriculture program at their school. “We demonstrate different scenarios to show a healthy vegetation system on how it will help hold the soil in place,” said Nourse. “To build the riparian zone they used recycle bottles and plastic to simulate the soil component. We can arrange the system any way you want, or take away anything that is trying to hold the soil to demonstrate when you don’t have a good vegetation system that could wash away.” The riparian zone is in lower elevations in the Western Slope, which are
riparian woodlands and shrublands found with the flood zones of rivers islands, sand or cobble bars, and streambanks. The wetlands in Colorado are non-riparian habitats that include moist to wet meadows, emergent marshes, fens, and seeps and springs. “If you stimulate a good root system with your vegetation. It keeps pollutants from getting into the water streams with a healthy vegetation system. The pollutants in root system or vegetation could affect the temperature of the water and risk killing the fish or natural species in the water,” said Nourse. Nourse also educated the student about tributaries, a stream feeding a more significant stream or lake. The Platte River feeds into Missouri, Missouri feeds into the Mississippi, and then goes to the ocean, a whole cycle. She also explained how the Water Conservation Districts got started and their purpose. Colorado has 75 conser-
vation districts and specializes in their region and conservation issues. “We hope to get kids interested in understanding the importance of the whole concept of natural resources and protecting them,” said Nourse. “For example the invasive versus noninvasive species, the impact of invasive species getting into the waterways going down stream so good conservation efforts starts from the beginning.” During the 30s and 40, Nourse says that Asia imported the tamarisk plant, a reasonable attempt to help the riparian zones establish a sound root system to maintain the waterways. “But the tamarisk plant has deep roots; it sucks up water and continues to multiple downstream, so they are trying to eradicate them. This plant by sucking up the water depletes the native species. So, they introduced the beetle and they eradicated the tamarisk.” Careers in agriculture are not only in the field but also in administration. Taylor Webb, Outreach and Education, West Greeley Conservation District, also helped set up the riparian zone; she started working with the West Greeley Conservation District at the house and gardens location. “After high school, I got a job as an office administrator and now moved up to another role processing scholarships and outreach,” said Webb. “I’ve always participated in the Future Farmers of America as an officer. I was deciding whether to go back to school for psychology or Agriculture, but I think I’ll go to school for Agriculture. Working for the conservation district has been a great learning experience and opportunity. I’m thankful for them.”

New law bans openly carrying firearms near voting locations No Republican legislators supported bill meant to prevent intimidation BY BENTE BIRKELAND COLORADO PUBLIC RADIO
Gov. Jared Polis signed a bill into law on March 30 that bans anyone in Colorado from openly carrying a firearm within 100 feet of a voting location, unless their property falls within that buffer. The Vote Without Fear Act was a priority election bill for Democrats in charge of the state legislature. Supporters say the law is needed to prevent the harassment of voters and poll workers, arguing that the current intimidation law can be difficult to enforce. It passed with no support from Republicans, who argued it infringed on Second Amendment rights. Supporters say the bill will help prevent voter intimidation Arapahoe County Clerk and Recorder Joan Lopez attended the bill signing ceremony at the state capitol and recalled an incident that occurred on the eve of the 2020 presidential election. Two men came to the county’s administrative office in Littleton. “Came in with cameras, filming voters, open carrying, and just trying to intimidate voters. And then they moved to the front of the building where every voter had to pass them

to get to the voting center,” she said. Lopez said people complained and the election judges were really “shook up.” “Even though the police were called and our attorneys were involved, there was nothing we could do at that point because they weren’t violating any laws. Now it’s going to be law and they won’t be able to do this ever again,” Lopez said. Democratic state Rep. Jennifer Bacon is one of the main sponsors of House Bill 1086. She said voter intimidation has a long legacy in the U.S, especially against communities of color. She said it’s part of her own family’s history when they lived in Jackson Mississippi. “I want to thank the NAACP. We have been fighting for this for a century in this country to be able to vote
without fear,” she said. Opponents argued that since Colorado is an open-carry state (with a few exceptions), the bill infringes on Second Amendment rights, and could make people who openly carry
a firearm feel less secure. The new law is among several election security measures Democrats are putting forward this session. House Bill 1273 would make it a misdemeanor to threaten or intimidate state and local election workers for doing their jobs. It’s still awaiting its first committee hearing. It also would make it illegal to publish the personal information of election workers — a practice known as doxing — and allow those workers and their immediate family members to remove their private information from open records requests. And it would increase the penalties for threats and intimidation. Senate Bill 153 is in response to the security breach in Mesa County. Republican Clerk and Recorder Tina Peters and her Deputy Clerk Belinda Knisley are facing multiple indictments for election tampering and misconduct. A federal investigation is ongoing. It would add new security requirements for counties, requiring constant video surveillance of election equipment, stricter rules about who can access equipment and increase penalties for potential security breaches in an effort to try to prevent insider security threats. The bill cleared the Senate with Democratic support and one Republican yes vote. This story is from Colorado Public Radio, a nonprofit news source. Used by permission.
