Fentanyl: A growing crisis regionally, nationally Law enforcement, others grapple with solutions

From his vantage point as a toxicologist in the emergency departments of UCHealth’s Highlands Ranch and Anschutz locations, Dr. Kennon Heard said fentanyl is easily the most common drug involved in the overdoses he treats.

“This is going to be on par with seeing a stroke or a heart attack,” Heard said, estimating overdoses are treated multiple times a week, if not daily. “It’s that common of an event.”

Responding to rising inflation and numerous unfilled employee positions at the Town of Castle Rock, the town council approved an additional $1.6 million to increase pay for staff and offer a monthly stipend for entry level positions.

On July 19, Castle Rock Town Manager David Corliss told the council the town is having a hard time filling open jobs, particularly entry-level positions, on top of seeing an increase in staff departures. According to the town’s career portal, 48 positions are seeking applicants.

“We’re not able to find, in many cases, people to apply or people we can hire and we know that our competitors in the labor market are increasing compensation for their employees as well in response to the inflation,” he said. “One of our main areas of concern is entrylevel positions. When it starts snowing, and I know it’s kind of hard to think about that, will (the town) have enough snowplow drivers?”

Corliss said many employees and applicants are drawn to other area employers who have raised wages and can offer better pay, including the county.

Douglas County Commissioners recently voted to increase staff wages by 4%, along with

Castle Rock Police investigate swatting call The Castle Rock Police Department continues to investigate following a hoax call.

On July 25, shortly before 8:45 a.m., CRPD received a call on a non-emergency number about a shooting that had just taken place at a home near the area of Eaton Street and Plum Creek

Parkway. The caller also indicated they would shoot at police if they responded to the residence.

Because of this information, a number of officers were dispatched to the area.

CRPD quickly determined the call to be a hoax. No shooting took place and there were no injuries found, but this remains an open investigation.

Heidi Ganahl selects Danny Moore as her running mate Navy veteran Moore is a Centennial resident, entrepreneur

BY JESSE PAUL THE COLORADO SUN

Republican gubernatorial candidate Heidi Ganahl on Monday announced Danny Moore as her running mate, a Navy veteran and entrepreneur who stoked controversy last year when he was removed as head of Colorado’s Independent Congressional Redistricting Commission over his social media posts about the 2020 presidential election.

“Danny is a wonderful addition to our winning team,” Ganahl said in a written statement. “We share a common vision to lower Colorado’s soaring cost of living, gas prices (and) crime rates.”

Moore, who is Black, lives in Centennial and is a retired Navy master chief. He is the president and owner of DeNOVO Solutions, a technology firm catering to the military, and president of Thornberry Consulting, which works with the Department of Defense.

“As a retired Navy Veteran and a successful small business entrepreneur with nearly 40 years of leadership experience, I will be missionfocused and deliver what is best for Colorado,” Moore said in a written

statement.

In Colorado, gubernatorial candidates select who they want to be their lieutenant governor. Democratic Gov. Jared Polis is running with Dianne PrimaMoore vera, a former state representative who currently serves as his No. 2.

Lieutenant governor is a mostly ceremonial position in Colorado, though the person appointed to the job often takes on one or two major agenda items. Primavera, for instance, also leads the Polis administration’s efforts to reduce health care costs.

In April 2021, Moore was removed as chair of the Independent Congressional Redistricting Commission in a unanimous vote by his fellow commissioners after 9News reported that he had made Facebook posts questioning the outcome of the 2020 presidential election.

According to 9News, Moore made the false claim that President Joe Biden won in 2020 because Democrats stole the contest from Donald Trump. Moore also referred to COVID-19 on social media as the “Chinese virus.”

The Gazette also scoured Moore’s social media posts, finding that in the first months of the pandemic he referred to CNN as the “Chineses [sic] News Network” and that he accused the news outlet of “lying to

the American people and endangering the lives of American’s [sic] and those of the world.”

Moore was unanimously removed as chair after he rebuffed requests from fellow commissioners to step down voluntarily. He was randomly selected as a member of the 12-member redistricting panel after applying for the unpaid job.

In June 2021, Moore, in an interview with Jon Caldara of the Independence Institute, said that there are “tremendous questions around the election” when asked whether Trump was the rightful winner in 2020 and whether the contest was stolen.

“To be put down and criticized for simply asking the question, that is un-American,” he said.

In a statement to The Sun, Ganahl’s campaign brushed off the 2021 controversy.

“Heidi and Danny are united in their commitment and focus on winning this November,” said Lexi Swearingen, a spokeswoman for Ganahl. “They agree Joe Biden is our president and Jared Polis is our governor and that we need to do everything we can to change that this November and in 2024. Election integrity is paramount and we must work to restore voter confidence.”

Ganahl refused, until recently, to directly answer whether the 2020 presidential election was stolen from Donald Trump, only answering the question for months by saying

that Joe Biden is the president.

“I don’t believe there was enough fraud that would have flipped the election,” she told The Colorado Sun and CBS4 in a June interview.

Ganahl initially said she was going to announce her running mate earlier this month, and Colorado Politics reported that Las Animas County Commissioner Felix Lopez would be her pick. However, the Colorado Politics story was later retracted and Lopez told 9News that conversations about being Ganahl’s running mate were still ongoing.

Ganahl faces an uphill battle in trying to unseat Polis in November.

Polis polls well among Colorado voters and is a deep-pocketed, selffunding candidate. He has already spent more than $5 million of his own money on his 2022 reelection bid after dropping more than $23 million to win his first term in 2018.

Ganahl, by comparison, had less than $50,000 in her campaign’s bank account on June 22.

Ganahl loaned her campaign $100,000 on July 1, bringing her personal investment in her campaign to $500,000.

Castle Rock road construction targets Wolfensberger, Four Corners for widening

BY MCKENNA HARFORD MHARFORD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Castle Rock’s town council approved a number of expenditures for continuing road projects at the July 19 meeting.

One of the bigger and more costly projects is widening Wolfensberger Road from two to four lanes from Prairie Hawk Drive to town limits at the entrance of Philip S Miller Park. The project is moving into the design phase and Public Works Director Dan Sailer requested approval for a roughly $2.5 million contract with Jacobs Engineering Group, Inc. In addition to widening the road, the town will be adding bike lanes and turning the intersection at Prairie Hawk Drive and

Wolfensberger Road into a roundabout.

At the Four Corners intersection of Founders Parkway, Colorado Highway 86, Fifth Street and Ridge Road, Castle Rock is moving into the construction phase for improvements, which includes widening to add turn lanes.

Sailer presented council with a contract for a construction manager with RockSol Consulting Group for around $750,000. Construction is aiming to start in the fall and finish in summer 2023.

Lastly, Sailer spoke about the need for structural repairs for two bridges, one at South Wilcox Street over Plum Creek and the other at Plum Creek Parkway over the Union Pacific railroad.

In total, the town is budgeting

County plans to ask for extension of open space tax Ballot language will be discussed in future business meeting

BY ELLIOTT WENZLER EWENZLER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The fate of Douglas County’s open space fund appears to be in the hands of November voters after two commissioners voiced support for placing it on the ballot July 18.

Commissioners George Teal and Abe Laydon voted in favor of moving forward with the action during a worksession where commissioners heard from municipalities, advocacy groups, recreational organizations and residents.

“To see this level of community support for something that is truly critically important, it’s overwhelming,” Laydon said. “I am with you.”

The Douglas County Open Space Initiative, a citizen committee created to seek commissioners’ support for the extension, presented their proposal. Their suggested ballot language would ask voters to approve an extension – not an increase — to the 0.17% sales and use tax, which was first approved in 1994.

The Open Space Sales and Use Tax, which funds acquisitions and maintenance of county open spaces, trails, parks and historic sites, is

part of the county’s 1% sales tax. In 2017, the fund was used to purchase Sandstone Ranch, a 2,038-acre property now available to the public for hiking, biking and equestrians.

The tax is currently scheduled to sunset in January 2024. If the proposed ballot language is approved in November, it would be extended until 2044.

The commissioners heard endorsements from the Elbert/Douglas County Horse Council; Real Colorado, a youth soccer organization; real estate agents; Historic Douglas County; Denver Audubon Society; the Highline Canal Conservancy; and the Douglas County Land Conservancy, among others.

Advocates talked about how the extended tax would create benefits

for things like trail systems, dog parks, wildlife habitats and land buffers.

Castle Pines, Lone Tree, Castle Rock and Parker have also all expressed support for the question being placed on the ballot.

Under the proposed language, 20% of the tax revenue would go to a shareback for municipalities “located wholly” in Douglas County.

The previous tax only provided shareback to municipalities that existed in 1994. That means Lone Tree and Castle Pines would be new beneficiaries of the tax. How much each municipality receives will be based on a population formula.

The largest portion of the tax — 30% — is set to go toward trail and open space acquisitions. The re-

maining funds will be split between maintenance/capital improvements and the parks fund.

Laydon was supportive of putting the item on the ballot in 2021, but Teal and Thomas voted against it. At the time, both commissioners said they feared the ballot item would fail but they would support the measure this year.

Commissioner Lora Thomas voted against the motion, stating she would like to see the tax extension for 10 years instead of the proposed 20 and she would rather see the question on next year’s ballot.

“The ballot is going to be very crowded, very complicated,” she said. “It’s not that I don’t support it but if we put it on the ballot this year and it fails, it will be even more difficult to get it across the finish line next year.”

A representative from the open space initiative said the timeframe was selected so the county and municipalities could make long-term plans for their open space.

Teal said he supports the project and its 20-year time frame because it could allow for financing large projects. He made a motion to direct county staff to bring the resolution approving the ballot item in a future business meeting following an executive session with their legal team to review the language.

A town hall on the topic is planned for July 27 at 6 p.m.

Trial date set in Franktown double homicide Another pre-trial hearing scheduled in September

BY ELLIOTT WENZLER EWENZLER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A nine-day trial is scheduled in the double homicide case that rocked a rural town in Douglas County earlier this year.

The trial for Casey Devol, 30, who has been charged with killing his sister and her boyfriend, is set to begin January 23.

The victims, Jessica Mitchell, 32, and Bryan Todd Gray, 34, were discovered Feb. 8 in a garage adjacent to a house they lived in on Russellville Road.

Both sides of the courtroom were full with family members and loved ones of the victims and Devol’s Friday as Judge Patricia Herron addressed the court.

While Ara Ohanian — a public defender representing Devol — requested the hearing be postponed, Herron said she wished to schedule a trial. Herron added that often, the first trial date has to be pushed back.

“The calendar, as you know from COVID, is a mess,” she said. “And it doesn’t seem to be getting any

better.”

The court also set another hearing for Sept. 23 at 3 p.m. where Devol may enter a plea of not guilty.

The case brought an outpouring of comments from community members, many of whom knew the victims and Devol for years.

An affidavit from the case revealed that someone who worked with Gray discovered him and Mitchell inside the garage at about 1:30 p.m. Feb. 8. Mitchell appeared to have been shot in the stomach and had a “pry bar” on top of her.

Gray was found with a plate of food on him “as if he was getting ready to eat.” He appeared to have been shot in the head.

Investigators reported the rear door was left open and the residence appeared ransacked, according to the affidavit. No clear motive has been identified in the case.

Security footage shows a man entering the garage “carrying multiple handguns and a long gun.”

After receiving a tip from a family friend, investigators matched Devol’s driver’s license photo with the security footage from the night of the murders. His vehicle, which investigators called an “exact match” for one at the scene, was also scanned by a traffic camera in Castle Rock at about 7 a.m. Feb. 7.

Coloradans face 10-12 week wait for unemployment pay Pandemic backlogs continue

BY TAMARA CHUANG THE COLORADO SUN

It’s now taking 10 to 12 weeks for Coloradans to get new unemployment claims processed by the state Department of Labor and Employment.

There hasn’t been a sudden rise in new claims. Rather, said Philip Spesshardt, director of CDLE’s division of unemployment insurance, it’s the older pandemic claims that are “now being adjudicated.”

An executive order at the start of COVID-19 required the agency to pay benefits first and review them later. As of Monday, there were 19,982 issues under adjudication.

That’s down from more than 800,000 issues at the peak. There are usually multiple issues per claim leading Spesshardt to estimate that between 5,000 to 10,000 people may be impacted.

Issues could include investigating whether the individual was eligible, whether it was COVID-19 related or whether there was a protest by a former employer. The agency must sort

“There was 10 years (worth) of work that came in the door of this building and (new complexities) which we never had to deal with before,” Spesshardt said. “Where we’re at now is certainly not acceptable to us. We certainly want to be further along on processing unemployment insurance customers.”

But the backlog has created delays for Coloradans filing for unemployment for the first time. This week, on the MyUI+ page, where unemployed people file for weekly benefits, a banner informs claimants that processing “is taking 10 to 12 weeks from the date of file due to high volumes.”

Some say it’s taking even longer than that. One unemployed worker who spoke on condition of anonymity said she applied April 1 and nearly 16 weeks later, is still waiting for her claim to be processed. She had to take out a personal loan and get money from her 401(k) to survive.

FENTANYL FROM PAGE 1

criminalization versus risk mitigation for drug users.

A growing emergency For area police, the crisis is daily.

“I would say that fentanyl overdoses have exploded,” Englewood Police Sgt. Brian Cousineau said.

“If not daily, every other day we’re dealing with something related to an overdose.”

A synthetic opioid, fentanyl is said to be 50 to 100 times more potent than heroin or morphine, according to the CDC, with a potentially lethal dose being about 2 to 3 milligrams. Part of what has made the substance such a threat is its presence in nearly every opioid available on the black market.

“It’s everywhere,” said Cousineau, who said fentanyl is frequently found in “blues,” slang for drugs such as Valium and Xanax, which are typically used to treat anxiety, insomnia, and seizures.

But fentanyl has also made its way into heroin, meth, cocaine and MDMA — more commonly known as molly. Since fentanyl’s presence has cast such a wide net — from black market prescription drugs to popular recreational substances — and because of how cheap it is to mass produce, law enforcement is seeing the drug threaten a spectrum of people who are young and old, regular and irregular users.

Douglas County Sheriff Tony Spurlock said a majority of overdoses police are responding to involve fentanyl mixed with another drug, such as cocaine.

“Douglas County is an uppermiddle-class community and we’re seeing it in that community, finding people in their homes,” Spurlock said. “It’s not the image people conjure up when you think of a drug abuser.”

Data provided in April show narcotics and drug violations were up 28% over last year in Douglas County, Spurlock said.

District Attorney John Kellner, who heads the 18th Judicial District based in Arapahoe County, said the time is now to impose harsher punishments on dealers of fentanyl — and other potential fentanyl-carrying drugs — in a bid to curb overdoses.

“Our approach is to go after the dealers and suppliers and hold them accountable,” Kellner said, adding that his office is pursuing “significant prison sentences” for producers and sellers of the drug.

Kellner recently touted what his office called a large-scale drug bust in May that led to the seizure of 200,000 fentanyl pills along with 9.4 pounds of heroin, a kilogram of cocaine and four guns. It also resulted in the indictment of eight people believed to be involved with drug trafficking, Kellner said.

That announcement was joined by one from Brian Besser, special agent in charge of the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration’s Denver Field Division, who said his office had aided in the “larg-

est fentanyl seizure on any U.S. highway,” when state patrol officers found 114 pounds of fentanyl powder in the back of a vehicle on Interstate 70 traveling toward Denver.

But the seizure, which took place in June, failed to produce law enforcement with its greater goal: the suppliers.

After initially agreeing to lead DEA agents to supposed kingpins in South Bend, Indiana, the driver evaded authorities and escaped, a detail Besser did not mention during a July 6 press conference detailing the bust. It only came to light after a story from the Denver Gazette, which obtained the driver’s arrest warrant.

The vast majority of prosecution has instead fallen on low-level dealers and users.

Need for harm reduction The criminalization of fentanyl, and all drugs, has only led to worse overdose outcomes, said Lisa Raville, executive director for the Harm Reduction Action Center.

“We’ve never been able to arrest our way out of drug use … all it’s done is put us in the overdose crisis that we’re in as well as led to unsafe drug supplies,” Raville said.

The action center, based in Denver, works with drug users to reduce their overdose chances and make drug use safer. The nonprofit organization’s multi-pronged approach includes providing clean syringes for safe injection, supplying users with drug and HIV testing, getting users access to life-saving naloxone and engaging in community outreach and education.

The center sees about 75 to 125 people per day, according to Raville, with about 12,000 people who’ve signed up for its services over the past 10 years.

A staunch supporter for harm reduction policies and practices,

‘Douglas County is an upper-middle-class community and we’re seeing it in that community, finding people in their homes.

It’s not the image people conjure up when you think of a drug abuser.’

Tony Spurlock, Douglas County sheriff

Raville said she is discouraged with the direction law enforcement has taken toward fentanyl, which she feels has been spurred by the state’s new law.

“We feel that the messaging in law enforcement has actually gone backward,” Raville said.

Along with more emphasis on law enforcement-led investigations into opioid use and deaths, the law will also require emergency medical providers, coroners and law enforcement officials to participate in a state wide program to map overdose deaths.

Raville fears this could dissuade more people from calling 911 for help with an overdose as it will likely attract more police attention.

“We can’t count on the fact that law enforcement won’t come,” Raville said.

But perhaps the most consequential decision by Colorado lawmakers was to drop the amount needed to charge a felony for fentanyl from 4 grams to 1. That’s the equivalent of about 10 pills, according to Englewood Sgt. Cousineau. Raville said the law now puts many of her clients at major legal risk as most carry between five and 20 pills on them at a time.

Instead of pursuing criminal

charges, Raville said the key to combating the fentanyl crisis is providing more resources to drug users, from testing to a safe supply of drugs.

In an effort to build more resources for addiction in Douglas County, Racquel Garcia founded Hard Beauty, a peer recovery group that started virtually during the pandemic and recently opened a brick and mortar location in Castle Rock to offer the area’s first community recovery center.

“I want all options to recovery to be in one space to allow people to figure out what’s best for them and recover,” Garcia said of Hard Beauty’s mission.

The impetus for Garcia to offer peer recovery services came from her own experiences trying to get sober, she said. Garcia found few resources outside of Alcoholics Anonymous and Celebrate Recovery groups, which didn’t work for her. Ultimately, she found help at Parker’s Valley Hope, a residential treatment center.

“It just felt like we could do better and actually I knew we could better,” she said. “I want to open up the space and discussion of recovery to make it big. Especially SEE FENTANYL, P7

in high affluence areas.”

Hard Beauty is also working to obtain housing to help provide sober living and recovery support past the initial rehab period.

“Even if the cops can get you to jail or treatment, if you want to live in a sober environment, there’s no supportive housing in Douglas County,” she said. “You need long-term support for longterm change.”

The state-wide law does make some inroads for harm reduction policies, with $19.7 million for a bulk purchase of naloxone (a common brand of which is Narcan), $10 million for treatment centers and $600,000 for fentanyl testing strips.

But lawmakers should go further, said Raville, and allow for safe injection and smoking sites for drug users where they can be aided by trained medical staff to avoid an overdose.

“We need to be innovative and we need to be using evidencebased solutions,” Raville said, adding that such a proposal has been piloted in other countries and has helped drive down overdose rates.

Looking for solutions Police in the south metro area said while they’re obligated to enforce the laws around fentanyl they also see the benefit, and need, for harm reduction approaches.

“My job isn’t to judge how the person got into the position that they are in, my job is to get them care,” Littleton Police Sgt. Brant Dimoeck said. “The average person that we talk to … they’re not bad people. They have an addiction. They have an issue.”

Sheriff Spurlock said he agrees with the importance of addiction treatment as a tool, noting there are few resources available in jails for people with substance use issues. Drug rehab programs are a possibility, but medicatedassisted treatment, one of the

more successful recovery tools, is typically not offered.

“Our jail is not designed for that,” Spurlock said.

Increasing treatment facilities would benefit law enforcement, not only by alleviating burdens on jails, but also by helping to prevent crime, Spurlock said.

However, Spurlock still thinks law enforcement has an important role when it comes to responding to drugs in the community.

In Spurlock’s experience, there is significant overlap between people arrested for drug violations and people arrested for property crimes.

“If you have significant and adequate facilities for treatment, you will reduce crime,” he said.

“But it’s also important to remember there are individuals out committing multiple crimes so that they can feed their habit and they have to pay for that behavior.”

When responding to someone who may be overdosing, police said medical attention takes priority.

Naloxone, which is a quick-acting antidote for overdoses, is used frequently to revive individuals, police said. Spurlock estimates Douglas County officers are having to use naloxone on a weekly basis.

Arrests are typically not made during these encounters, according to Englewood Sgt. Cousineau, so long as the individual overdosing has no more than a “personal use amount,” which is 1 gram of fentanyl — about 10 pills. The drug is usually confiscated and destroyed, Cousineau said.

“Part of it is compassion, we don’t want to put criminal charges on somebody who is in a state of distress,” he said.

Arrests can follow when an individual is found with more than one gram as well as when someone experiencing an overdose also commits other crimes in the process, such as causing a car accident, according to Cousineau.

But officers said they alone can’t always respond adequately to a situation. It’s why depart-

‘Our approach is to go after the dealers and suppliers and hold them accountable.’

John Kellner, district attorney

ments across the region, including Englewood, Littleton and Douglas County, have turned to co-responder programs to link police with trained clinicians when responding to certain calls, such as mental health concerns and drug use.

Officers said those trained professionals are able to better connect to, and build trust with, certain individuals in distress better than police can. Co-responders are also able to connect individuals with resources instead of jails, something DA Kellner said his office has also pursued.

The DA’s diversion program allows some people charged with drug possession to funnel into rehabilitation treatments that — if deemed successful — could see their cases dismissed or significantly reduced.

“This is not the justice system of the ‘80s and ‘90s,” Kellner said.

“It’s an all-above approach that’s going to solve this problem.”

According to 18th Judicial District spokesperson Eric Ross, 104 cases have been referred to the program, with 28 successfully completed, Ross said data on “failures versus those that are still in process,” is not available.

However, that option remains limited because of the lack of programs or facilities in the region offering addiction services.

Spurlock said Douglas County is reliant on partnerships with treatment programs or facilities in Denver.

But, for Raville, believing that

WHAT IS FENTANYL? According to the CDC, pharmaceutical fentanyl is a synthetic opioid, approved for treating severe pain, typically advanced cancer pain.

It is 50 to 100 times more potent than morphine. It is prescribed in the form of transdermal patches or lozenges and can be diverted for misuse and abuse in the United States.

However, most recent cases of fentanyl-related harm, overdose, and death in the U.S. are linked to illegally made fentanyl.

It is sold through illegal drug markets for its heroin-like effect. It is often mixed with heroin and/or cocaine as a combination product—with or without the user’s knowledge—to increase its euphoric effects.

Misinformation has spread over fentanyl’s ability to cause an overdose simply by touching the drug. According to the American College of Medical Toxicology and American Academy of Clinical Toxicology, this is not true.

Fentanyl must be introduced into the bloodstream or a mucus membrane in order for someone to feel the effects.

When testing for fentanyl, a single line indicates fentanyl is present while two lines indicate no fentanyl has been detected.

law enforcement will be enough to wean the majority of individuals off drugs is fantasy thinking.

“People have been using drugs forever and ever and people will continue using drugs forever and ever,” Raville said.

Instead, Raville wants to see more honest conversation and education around drug use and how to be safe. She believes broad legalization, such as what has been done in Portland, Oregon, will create a safer supply for hard drugs that fentanyl will not be able to permeate.

“We have a safe supply in the United States right now, it’s called alcohol,” Raville said. “The United States has never done a good job of talking about drug use.”

Lone Tree council supports RTD’s August zero fare program Members want to increase promotion

BY TAYLER SHAW TSHAW@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Lone Tree City Council unanimously approved a resolution in support of zero fare transit in August for the Regional Transportation District (RTD) during its July 19 meeting, and city staff and council members spoke about the need to get the word out to residents.

“This is a really exciting program.

It’s something that I hope we can communicate out and really start to see a lot of this transit use come back, and I know this resolution was something of interest,” said Justin Schmitz, the director of public works and mobility who presented the resolution.

What is ‘Zero Fare for Better Air’ and how is it funded?

For the month of August, residents do not have to pay fares to ride the RTD as part of the statewide initiative, “Zero Fare for Better Air,” that aims to reduce ground level ozone by increasing use of public transit, according to RTD’s website.

The initiative was made possible through Senate Bill 22-180, “Programs to Reduce Ozone Through Increased Transit,” which passed in May. The bill created an ozone season

transit grant program, that is funded at $28 million, in the Colorado Energy Office. The office can provide grants of up to $3 million to transit associations and $11 million to the RTD each year. The program is set to repeal July 1, 2024.

RTD can use the grant funding to replace farebox revenue, to pay for other program expenses and to cover up to 80% of the costs of providing at least 30 days of free transit on all RTD services, according to the bill.

Ozone concerns persist in Colorado A goal of the grant program is for the RTD and transit associations to provide free transit services for at least 30 days during ozone season in an effort to reduce the level of ozone pollution in Colorado. Ozone season runs from June 1 through August 31 each year, as defined in the bill.

Ozone pollution continues to be an issue in Colorado. The American Lung Association, which analyzes data from official air quality monitors

to create a “State of the Air” report, gave Douglas County an “F” grade on its 2022 report card for high ozone days and a “D” for particle pollution.

On July 22, the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment and the Regional Air Quality Council issued an “Ozone Action Day Alert” for the Front Range Urban Corridor from Douglas County north to Larimer and Weld counties, including the Denver to Boulder area, Fort Collins and Greeley, according to the department’s website.

Hot and stagnant conditions allowed ozone concentrations to reach levels that are unhealthy for sensitive groups, according to the website.

According to the Colorado Energy Office’s website, “Reducing vehicle traffic by encouraging the use of public transit is one key strategy to help reduce ozone-forming emissions and ground level ozone during the summer months.”

However, transit ridership has yet to return to its pre-pandemic levels.

“Encouraging more people to ride transit is one essential strategy to achieve reductions in greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution,” the office’s website stated.

Lone Tree council discusses getting word out about the program “Obviously, there’s a lot of great goals here. Some of the big ones that they talked about in the community is SEE RTD, P9

some stipends.

According to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, consumer inflation hit an 8.3% annual rate in May, which dropped from earlier in the year from over 9%. The current inflation rate is still close to the area’s 40-year high, per the Denver Post.

He proposed an across-the-board increase of either $1 per hour for employees making below $70,000 per year or a 3% annual increase for staff earning over $70,000 per year. Additionally, for employees below the $70,000 mark, Corliss recommended a $250 monthly stipend.

The raises would start from July 9, via backpay, and continue throughout the year. In total, the changes would cost the town around $1.6 million.

Though some council members raised concerns about a potential recession, Corliss said the town’s finances are budgeted conservatively and the proposal is mindful

this will allow people to save money, improve air quality, and most importantly, save money on gas, which I think we’d all like to do right now,” Schmitz said.

Councilmember Marissa Harmon said she wants to make sure the city is advertising the program to residents as much as possible.

Mayor Jackie Millet agreed, saying, “It is an important issue, and I’m going to challenge all of us to do something on transit.”

Millet said a challenge could be taking public transit to Greenwood Village for lunch, prompting some at the meeting to laugh.

of potential economic changes.

The town’s budget is also in a good spot with Corliss noting that sales tax collections are up double-digits over last year.

“The risk of not doing it, is something that I can’t recommend,” Corliss said. “My worry is that we will be further behind our competitors and we will not attract and retain the employees we need in order to provide the services we have. Our most important asset is our employees.”

In addition to the wage increases, the town has also hired a recruiter to help fill key jobs.

Mayor Jason Gray agreed the town should prioritize keeping and hiring employees now while in a positive financial situation.

“Recession might be coming, but inflation is here, so it’s hard to figure out what to do with that, but I’d hate to lose good employees or not be able to get good employees because we don’t implement something like this,” Gray said.

Council members unanimously approved the 2022 budget amendment to for the adjustment to employee pay. and others in the room continued as she said she thinks the City of Lone Tree should challenge the City of Greenwood Village to do an exchange program and see how many people they can get on the light rail to visit the other city for lunch.

Millet also said she shared information about the program with a number of the city’s large employers, such as at Sky Ridge Medical Center and Kiewit.

“Any creative way that any of you in this room, in any capacity that you serve this region, because we all are servants of this region — getting this word out and through your various channels would be greatly appreciated,” Millet said.

Parker may need to raise taxes or slash services in next decade As build-out nears, revenues projected to decline

BY ELLIOTT WENZLER EWENZLER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Over the next 10 years, the Town of Parker may need to either reduce its services or raise taxes, according to a presentation given to the town council July 18.

That’s in part because as the town nears build-out, revenue growth is projected to slow significantly, said Mary Lou Brown, finance director for the town.

“We need to really have some serious conversations about tax increases or material new revenue sources, probably within the next couple of years,” she said.

The current projections show the town’s cash flow balance dipping low and in some cases going negative between now and 2032.

“The projected general fund cash balance is inadequate beginning in 2030 and the recreation fund balance is inadequate in 2031,” according to the presentation. “The parks and recreations and public improvement funds have years where the cash balance dips too low.”

Some of the factors beyond build out that are impacting the town’s financial state are inflation, the possibility for recession, staff growth to

keep up with an increasing population and aging infrastructure.

The town expects to see declines in revenue growth from building permits, property taxes, sales tax, use tax and excise tax.

The town’s sales tax is forecasted to grow at a rate of 8% in 2023, 7% in 2024 and 5% from 2025 to 2032, according to the presentation. The excise tax revenue is expected to grow until 2026 then remain flat. The use tax is projected to decline.

Mayor Jeff Toborg told the town council in April that he plans to

lead a citizen’s initiative to repeal the portion of sales tax that comes from purchases of food from home consumption, also known as the grocery tax. Town council members stated they had not approved such a measure and legal staff recommended Toborg make clear he’s not speaking on behalf of council when he supports the measure.

Following the finance presentation, Toborg confirmed his citizen group is still working to put the repeal question on the ballot.

To address the coming decreases

in funds, the town can either grow taxes,or reduce or cut some of their services. Brown also suggested the town could offset declines in the recreation fund by raising the charges for such services.

The public improvement fund will have “too low” of a cash balance between 2024 and 2027, according to the presentation. That department is expecting $199 million in expenditures over the next 10 years.

Some of those projects and their projected costs include: • Dransfeldt Road extension, south of Twenty Mile Road: $21.4 million • Lincoln Avenue widening between Keystone Boulevard and Parker Road, $18.8 million • Crowfoot Valley Road widening from Stroh Road to town limits, $14.7 million • Chambers Road widening at Stroh Road and Crowfoot Valley Road, $11.2 million • Stroh Road widening between J Morgan Boulevard and Motsenbocker Road, $10.3 million • Jordan Road and Lincoln Avenue improvements, $6.9 million • J Morgan Boulevard extension to Reata, $6.8 million Brown added that everything within the town’s budget is connected and small changes such as staff raises could have a big impact.

“There is no decision that we make that is a standalone decision,” she said. “Everything impacts something else in one way or another.”

Ten years after theater shooting, community gathers for midnight vigil 7/20 Memorial Foundation hosts special event

BY TAYLER SHAW TSHAW@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Ten years ago, on July 20, 2012, Stephen Barton and two friends attended a screening of “The Dark Knight Rises” at a Century 16 movie theater in Aurora and became survivors of a mass shooting that resulted in 12 deaths and 70 injured.

At the end of last year, Barton, who lives in New York, was contacted by Heather Dearman to inform him that the 7/20 Memorial Foundation, a nonprofit where she serves as CEO, would be hosting a series of events in light of the 10th year passing since the shooting.

“I’m not local to here, and so a little less, like, connected to the local network of survivors and family members. So, I’m really glad that she did reach out,” Barton said.

Barton and his wife, Sarah Barton, were among those who gathered at midnight July 20, 2022, at Aurora Water-wise Garden, located at 15151 E. Alameda Parkway, for a vigil.

Dearman was the first to present, welcoming people to the 10th annual midnight vigil and reflecting on the

including my cousin, Ashley, who was shot and paralyzed and also miscarried. Her 6-year-old daughter, Veronica, was with her that night and was also shot,” Dearman said.

“Sadly, Veronica succumbed to her injuries along with 11 other moviegoers whose lives were tragically cut short.”

Visiting the memorial: ‘A place of peace, hope and resilience’ For the first time, the vigil included a walkthrough tour of the 12 stones placed throughout the garden, the location of the memorial, that are dedicated to those killed in the shooting.

Fairy lights decorated the garden and a violinist performed as Dearman walked to each stone and shared information about the victims. Attendees followed behind her, many carrying small electric candles with them.

“We’ve never taken people through the tour of each stone before, so we didn’t know how that would work,” Dearman said after the vigil. “But, I think it was beautiful.”

In addition to the stones, a main feature of the memorial is the sculpture, “Ascentiate,” which features a sculpture of 83 cranes. Tiina Marie Coon, a member of the board of directors for 7/20 Memorial Foundation and mother of a theater survivor, said there are 70 white cranes to represent those who were injured, as well as 13 clear and silver cranes to represent the souls of lost loved ones, including Ashley Moser’s unborn child.

“All of the cranes are flying from all different directions. This represents the people in the theater that came from all over the world, in all walks of life,” Coon said. “It is where they meet in the center and rise together — that’s the ascentiate.”

The motivation behind the cranes was the action of genuine kindness, she said. Following the shooting,

a young boy named Nate Williams coordinated with his community to send 1,000 cranes to Aurora with messages of compassion.

“As a board, we have always felt that we wanted a non-memorial, memorial — a place of peace, hope and resilience. A place to rise above your tragedies. A place where all of the community can come and heal,” Coon said.

Throughout the night, people cried, laughed, prayed and embraced one another. Others visited the 12 white crosses placed along the sidewalk at the entrance of the vigil.

These crosses were made following the shooting and placed across the street of the movie theater as a temporary memorial, said Jansen Young, the chief operating officer of the 7/20 Memorial Foundation.

Young is a survivor of the theater shooting. Her boyfriend, Jonathan Blunk, was killed that night.

“We now place the crosses here every year. These crosses still provide a memorial and a marker for the lives lost. They are not just names on a cross. They are individuals. They are our loved ones,” Young said.

For Dearman, one of the standout moments from the vigil was the procession of first responders, called the “Hero’s Procession.” Attendees gathered and applauded on the curb of the street as first responders passed by in their vehicles.

Viki Snyder was among those clapping during the procession. Her daughter, Heather, was in the theater and was shot three times.

“We lost her five years later,” Snyder said. She said her daughter’s death wasn’t a direct result of the shooting. “She couldn’t get her head back together.”

Snyder said her daughter was smiling all the time and was everybody’s friend. “She was an amazing person,” she said.

Stephen Barton, a survivor of the shooting, reflects on that night Stephen Barton had been traveling across the country with a friend for about six weeks when they stopped in Aurora to stay with another friend who offered to host them overnight on July 19, 2012.

“We offered, to her, to take her to the movies to thank her for hosting us,” Barton said.

Both Barton and the friend they were visiting were shot. The third friend was thankfully not shot, and all three survived, he said.

“I was shot with a shotgun,” Barton said. “And so, basically, my upper torso and my neck and face received like two dozen pieces of metal, about.”

He said the pieces of metal narrowly missed his internal organs and arteries, and he was bleeding heavily. Police did not wait for an ambulance and directly transported him to the hospital, where he was taken to surgery.

“I was just very fortunate, and I SEE VIGIL, P13

really credit them for the great job that they did that night,” Barton said about the police.

Barton still has some pieces of metal in his body today, but other than some nerve damage in his left arm and scar tissue, he mostly doesn’t have lingering injuries. His friend who was shot has also made a really good recovery, he said.

The midnight vigil was the first time that Barton visited the memorial. He said it was hard to put into words how it felt to be at the vigil, because in some ways, it feels like what happened was in the distant past and had happened to another person.

Barton said the atmosphere casted his mind back to that “really dark and difficult time” and also showed how people have grown since then, which he said is something to celebrate.

Some good things came out of that night for Barton, he said. For example, he started a job advocating for stronger gun laws, and it was through that job that he befriended someone who later introduced him to his wife, Sarah, in 2016.

“It’s just a mix of many different feelings,” Barton said. “Because it could have just so easily gone in a different way. And being, you know, standing here and hearing the stories and seeing the crosses really drives that home.”

He said he feels really blessed and fortunate that his injuries were not more severe and that he had a strong support system. At the same time, both Barton and his wife expressed frustration about how mass shootings continue to be an issue in the U.S. “I think that back then, in the immediate aftermath, I had more of a hope that things could change.

And the last few months have kind of driven home how much work still has to be done,” he said. “And it really doesn’t feel like we’re improving or making this problem any better.”

Sarah Barton said it was wonderful to see the community gather and interact with one another during the vigil, but that it’s hard to be optimistic because “these things shouldn’t happen in the first place.”

Although he doesn’t live in Colorado, Barton wanted to come and attend the vigil because he thinks there is something powerful in the act of remembering, and he has a soft spot in his heart for Colorado.

After walking through the memorial, he said it’s clear how much thought went into creating it, and that it’s inspiring to see so many people at the vigil who have been bonded through what happened.

“There’s no minimizing how unjust and senseless something like this is,” Barton said, calling the shooting horribly tragic. “But, I’m really glad that they’re keeping, sort of, this memory alive. And the memorial is really a beautiful physical tribute — physical manifestation — of that.”

Additional candles were placed on the memorial stone for Veronica Moser-Sullivan, a 6-year-old who died in the Aurora theater shooting, in recognition of other children who have died in mass shootings, such as the Sandy Hook victims, Heather Dearman said.

A sad reality

July 28, 2022

VOICES

O

ne of the things I love about being an editor is going to meetings, forums, focus groups and awards banquets. I get to meet a lot of different people and listen to a lot of opinions, discussions and topics.

Recently, in a roundtable discussion, a group of us talked about housing affordability. In that discusFROM THE sion, we talked about how our workforce is being pushed out of the housing market EDITOR completely. Of course, in asking why — some of the answers that sadly are reality — worries me.

When I say workforce, I am talking about our teachers, our police officers, our firefighters, our government employees and those who make our everyday lives possible. However, somehow, society has decided they are also the people we do not Thelma Grimes want as our neighbors. We have communities saying: Come here and work and teach our children, protect us, take care of our needs — but do not live here.

The problem with this mentality is the valued workforce is going to move on. We are going to get fewer of them in our communities as they move to states and towns where people want them. That is our loss.

My son’s kindergarten teacher, a 20-year educator and an awesome person, said she grew up in a house behind the school she currently teaches. However, on her salary, she couldn’t afford to live there now. Is that really the kind of world we want?

The idea that renters bring down our communities is also just nonsense. To afford to live in most of the housing communities in Douglas County and most of Arapahoe County — the rent costs are more than my mortgage. We have great neighbors who rent. We had horrible neighbors, who fortunately moved away, who owned their home.

Perception is everything these days and I am having a hard time understanding the belief some have about affordable housing creating a community nuisance.

Having loud groups fight every time a developer or elected body tries to bring more affordable options into a community has to change. That change has to come from those casting the votes. At some point, our elected officials have to take a stand and say a strong, steady workforce is what is needed to keep an economy on track. They have to start voting and finding solutions that help working families survive.

This trickles down to those young adults just entering the workforce as well. In listening to a 20-year-old out of college, he said he is living with his dad and there is no way he could afford to live in Douglas County where he grew up. There are no options for him.

That means our young, educated workforce will seek employment elsewhere and another state’s gain is going to be our loss. It is a loss we might now feel now but we will in the future.

For those fighting the affordable housing concept — go back to your younger days when you were trying to find your footing in this world. Would you have been as successful in a market like we have today? How would you have gotten your first apartment? Paid for your first home?

We need to create growth and opportunity for all levels of society and not just a select few who think they deserve the best houses, best views and best of everything without giving up something in return.

Getting back what we put out

W

orking with Zig Ziglar was truly a blessing in so many ways. Whenever he would meet someone in the afternoon or evening, he would greet them with a big smile and an enthusiastic and cheerful, “Good WINNING morning.” The person on the WORDS receiving end would almost always reply with, “Good morning to you too.” And then would catch themselves saying, “But it’s not morning.” And Zig would reply with a question, “Well then why did you say good morning?” And the person would say, “Because you said good Michael Norton morning.”

That’s where the teaching would begin as Zig would remind the person that we get back what we put out, giving the person an aha moment. We know that when trying something like this, that it all comes down to the delivery. And Zig was so easygoing and good hearted that no one ever took offense to his mini lessons of life.

Another story he would share from the stage is this one. A woman and her 6-year-old son were at home one day. The family lived on a mountain range and overlooked a valley.

One day the young boy was getting into some

mischief as young boys tend to do, and his mother disciplined him and withheld his afternoon snack until he would apologize. The boy ran out of the house slamming the door behind him yelling, “I hate you, I hate you, I hate you.” And as he did a young boy’s voice echoed from the valley saying, “I hate you, I hate you, I hate you.”

Terrified, the boy ran back into his house and into his mother’s arms crying. He told her that there was a boy in the valley yelling that he hates me. The mom knowing full well it was the echo encouraged her son to go back outside and shout, “I love you, I love you, I love you,” and see what happens.

The boy did as instructed, and the voice was heard echoing in return, “I love you, I love you, I love you.”

We really do get back what we give out.

Even a smile. Keeping with my Zig Ziglar theme, Zig would always encourage people by saying, “If you see someone without a smile, give them one of yours.”

We are at odds with one another in so many ways and places. And if we are in a state of fear, worry and doubt about what is happening locally or globally, we could all probably benefit by remembering that people will respond or react to what we do and what

Inflation is not always bad

f you were not an adult in the 1970s or even born yet, you might not have a clue what all this talk about inflation is. And even if you do remember clearly, this time is likely to be different. Remember our new favorite word from COVID is “unprecedented.”

Most of us know that inflation is when prices go higher, but that is not always a bad thing for the economy. We want economic growth; therefore, prices will rise, along with profits and interest rates. These are not negatives unless things get out of hand. If you rely on your one economics class on supply and demand, this concept is relatively simple. However, the causes play into the effects and that is where the uncertainty lies.

Today consumers are concerned they are dipping into their discretionary spending to pay for necessities such as food, housing, and

fuel. Investors are concerned their assets are not holding their true purchasing power if everything gets more expensive but investment cycles ebb and flow with the economy. Therefore, the denominator must be growth.

No one complains Patricia Kummer about high prices if they feel they are getting value for the money spent, or they have enough money to buy what they want without feeling a pinch. It’s when we don’t have the wage increases, or the stock market rising that we feel things cost too much.

If the economy is on a growth tear and corporate earnings are soaring, then our investments should be going up as well. When prices

increase without the underlying growth in your financial situation, then inflation feels personal. And it is …. personal.

We all have our own inflation rate.

It is made up of what we like to buy, how much we earn, and how we handle periods of economic decline in light of our needs and wants.

According to Jay Weinstein, CFA ¹ most people would say inflation goes up when the economy gets too strong, or the government prints too much money. Except that was not the case in the 1970s. Nor was the opposite true between 1983 and 2007 when we had consistent economic growth and still managed two recessions and falling interest rates for 25 years.

The period from 2008 until now included the Great Recession followed by painfully slow economic growth, the Fed’s easy money policy, and now stagflation, infla-

tion, market corrections, slowing economic growth and a potential recession.

Economists may deem the cause of rising rates to be the result of three main contributors: Pent-up demand from COVID; reduced supply of fuel and food due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine; and supply chain shortages due to China’s lockdown. None of these would have been caused by a normal economic cycle of recessionary traits such as high unemployment and negative economic growth.

Those things may come but they would not be the cause, they would actually be the effect. So yes, I guess this is a legitimate use of the word “unprecedented.”

common ground. After a heavily contested boxing match or UFC bout, the fighters do their best to win, but when the fight is over, they meet in the middle and hug or acknowledge the other out of respect. It happens in other sports too. When the game is over, regardless of who won or lost, you can see players who just spent 60 minutes in battle, kneeling in prayer, or talking to each other and smiling. Maybe they played in college or met while they were on the same team at some point. But once the battle is over, they come together in such a great way.

How about you? Are you greeting and treating people with kindness and respect? Are you sharing your smile with someone who doesn’t have one? I would love to

Notable building marks 150 years Former general store goes back to early days of metro area

BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

On July 30, Historic Littleton Inc. invites interested folks to join the organization at 2 p.m. in celebrating the 150th anniversary of the J.D. Hill General Store at 5728/5738 S. Rapp Street (just east of the Bowles Avenue and Santa Fe Drive intersection). A brief walking tour along South Rapp Street will follow, introducing other important nearby buildings as well, including the Richard Little House and the Columbine Mill.

HLI member Rebecca Kast writes: “Picture the J.D. Hill building with horses tied up to the posts ... This was the economic center of the little hamlet of Littleton. The mill was here, a hotel, the church and a schoolhouse were built nearby. With the road to Santa Fe right in front, it was a convenient stop for travelers. The J.D. Hill Store was Littleton’s first general store and post office. This is a two-story, wood clapboard building with three chimneys of corbeled brick. It has been remodeled extensively. The social activities of Littleton revolved around

celebrate 150 years).

J.D. Hill was born in Massachusetts and arrived in Denver in 1866. He cut hay along the South Platte River and worked at assorted odd jobs. He arrived in Littleton in 1870 and worked at the Rough and Ready Flourmill. In 1872 he built a large two-story white frame building and stocked hay, coal, groceries and dry goods. It was also the first post office and both Richard Little and Hill served as postmaster ...

The building also served as meeting place for Catholic, Methodist and Christian Science churches and the Odd Fellows Lodge. The town was incorporated in 1890 and Hill served on the first city council, and again in 1895-1896. The building served as a town hall until 1920 when the Italianate building on Main Street was completed.

The first drugstore was on the present site of the Masonic Hall, operated by Hill’s brother, Oscar.

Hill married Inez Berry in 1876 and they had one daughter, Eva. In 1884, with J.S. Morse, Hill built the Littleton Creamery next to the general store on Alamo Street and his first home was on the north side of Main Street, near the present location of Bradford

Auto Body. The creamery was part of a larger facility and by 1888, it was processing milk from 1,000 dairy cows, belonging to farmers who brought their milk into Littleton. By 1902, the creamery building was used as Littleton’s first high school and by 1908 the Christ Scientist Church used the building for religious services.

Hill was also one of the organizers of the First National Bank in Littleton, which closed during the Depression.

For a time, the building served as residences and it’s not certain when the front porch was added.

The Littleton Flower Shop and Pongo Lifestyles fill the Hill Building’s storefronts today. The florist has been in Littleton at other locations for many years. Pongo means orangutan, according to assistant manager Anne Kiley, who said the store carries clothing, accessories, jewelry, gifts, shoes, pet items and more. The owner is Ronna Phillips, who is active in supporting rainforest projects and volunteers with the apes at the Denver Zoo. To join the celebration and walk, find a parking place in the neighborhood and appear at the former J.D. Hill General Store at 2 p.m. (Note: Historic Littleton Inc. welcomes new members.)

Dems spent $4 million to influence GOP primary Senate Majority PAC, tied to Chuck Schumer, spent big in Colorado

‘We saw two deeply flawed candidates running against each other, so we worked to weaken both their campaigns.’

BY SANDRA FISH THE COLORADO SUN

The Senate Majority PAC, a group aligned with Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, a New York Democrat, was behind the shadowy, $4 million campaign to encourage voters in Colorado’s Republican primary for U.S. Senate last month to back state Rep. Ron Hanks.

Hanks, an election conspiracist and hard-line conservative, lost by a wide margin to Joe O’Dea, a first-time candidate and the owner of a Denver construction company. O’Dea faces Democratic U.S. Sen. Michael Bennet in November.

The Senate Majority PAC, known as SMP, was the lone donor to Democratic Colorado, another super PAC that spent millions on TV and digital ads boosting Hanks’ profile and attacking O’Dea. SMP’s link to Democratic Colorado was revealed in a campaign finance filing Wednesday night.

Democratic Colorado also closed its account with the Federal Election Commission on Wednesday and returned about $3,000 to SMP, further proof that the group was formed for the sole purpose of influencing Colorado’s Republican primary.

Democratic Colorado’s organizers were so keen on keeping their funders secret that their address was listed as a UPS Store in Denver’s Cherry Creek North neighborhood. If it weren’t for the PAC’s name it might have been unclear which political party the group was linked to.

“We saw two deeply flawed candidates running against each other, so we worked to weaken both their campaigns,” JB Poersch, president of Senate Majority PAC, told The Colorado Sun

Dark-money nonprofit Majority Forward, which doesn’t legally have to disclose its donors, is a major contributor to SMP, at $28 million of the group’s $65 million raised this election cycle through June 30, per federal reports.

Majority Forward is the same nonprofit that fueled a $1.5 million campaign in the 2020 Democratic primary for U.S. Senate in Colorado to support former Gov. John Hickenlooper over former House Speaker Andrew Romanoff. Hickenlooper won the

SHUTTERSTOCK IMAGE

primary and went on to beat Republican U.S. Sen. Cory Gardner in the general election.

Democratic Colorado’s ad campaign this year painted Hanks as the most conservative candidate in the Republican primary for U.S. Senate in the apparent hope that he would be more appealing to GOP voters. The idea behind the initiative was that Hanks would be easier for Bennet to beat in November.

SMP released a statement after O’Dea won the primary June 28 calling him too conservative and criticizing him for “racing to the right” during the primary. While Democratic Colorado’s preferred candidate may not have won, O’Dea and his supporters spent millions to ensure O’Dea would win.

As a result, O’Dea was at a major cash disadvantage to Bennet heading into July.

“National Republicans are

now saddled with propping up a not ready for prime-time candidate in Joe O’Dea, who has less money in the bank today than he did at the beginning of the year,” Poersch said in his statement, celebrating the campaign as a success.

Democratic Colorado’s campaign wasn’t the only effort undertaken by Democratic groups to help Hanks and more extreme Republican candidates in other races.

Those advertising campaigns also failed in Colorado’s highly competitive new 8th Congressional District and in the GOP primary for governor.

It’s still unclear who sent some mailers targeting O’Dea and favoring Hanks. O’Dea filed a federal lawsuit over the mailers last month, but that legal action likely won’t be concluded until after the Nov. 8 election. Colorado is one of several states where Democratic groups are funding ads promoting the most extreme or controversial GOP candidates, theorizing they’d be the easiest for Democrats to defeat in the general election in November. Republicans have deployed similar tactics in Colorado and across the country in previous election cycles.

Metro Denver’s homeless population on the rise

BY TATIANA FLOWERS THE COLORADO SUN

The number of people experiencing homelessness was up 12.8% in 2022 compared to 2020, before the pandemic, according to preliminary data from the Metro Denver Homeless Initiative point-in-time survey.

The annual count, which captures homelessness in the seven-county metro Denver region, showed there was an increase in homelessness of 784 people.

In January 2020, the last time a comprehensive count was conducted, there were 6,104 people counted who were homeless in metro Denver.

This year, 6,888 people were counted, according to the first phase of data.

“We are awaiting HUD’s verification of the region’s demographic data before releasing further information, but for planning purposes, it is important to share the overall sheltered and unsheltered count for the region,” Jamie Rife, executive director of the Metro Denver Homeless Initiative, said in a statement.

MDHI will release a second phase of data once the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development’s verification process is completed later this summer, she said.

On Jan. 24, teams spread out across the region to count people living in shelters and outdoors.

outside in 2021 because of COVID-19 concerns.

The number of people living in shelters remained fairly consistent between 2020 and 2022, at 4,534 in 2020 and 4,815 in 2022, a 6% increase.

The number of people considered “unsheltered” also increased regionally. This year 2,073 people were sleeping outdoors, up from 1,561 in 2020, a 32.8% increase.

“The Point-in-Time is a snapshot of homelessness on a single night with numerous variables such as weather, count participation, volunteer engagement and a variety of other factors,” Rife said. “While this count can help us understand homelessness on a single night, getting to a place where we have comprehensive, real-time data regionally is the ultimate goal.”

The metro Denver region has made significant strides in decreasing its reliance on the one-night count, Rife said in a public statement. Instead, human service providers and municipal leaders are working to improve participation with the region’s Homeless Management Information System to make daily homelessness data more accessible.

Outreach teams across the sevencounty metro Denver area increasingly used the information system in 2022 to gain a more accurate realtime understanding of those living outdoors. The system also helped outreach teams better connect clients to human services and housing, Rife said.

While teams across the metro Denver area were able to locate and

A look at the statewide gun regulations adopted after Aurora theater shooting No fewer than 10 statewide changes to gun policy have been adopted

BY JESSE PAUL THE COLORADO SUN

The 2012 Aurora theater shooting, which left 12 people dead and 70 others injured, prompted Colorado Democrats to immediately begin pursuing tighter regulations on firearms.

Since the attack 10 years ago Wednesday, no fewer than 10 statewide changes to gun policy have been adopted, making Colorado one of the nation’s most progressive states when it comes to firearm regulations.

Here’s a detailed look at how Colorado’s gun policies have changed over the past 10 years: A 15-round gun magazine limit Three big gun regulation changes were made during Colorado’s 2013 legislative session, the first lawmaking term after the Aurora theater shooting.

The most controversial of the three was a bill imposing a 15-round limit on gun magazines.

The gunman in the theater shooting used a semi-automatic, AR-15-style rifle with a 100-round drum attached. The gun jammed, preventing him from inflicting more carnage, but the circumstances of the shooting led state lawmakers to take a hard look at magazines and whether they should be regulated.

Opponents of the law have filed lawsuits trying to overturn it, arguing that the policy is unconstitutional, but have been unsuccessful.

Several states have passed similar magazine limitations since.

A 9News investigation in 2019 found that some Colorado gun stores were still selling magazines with a capacity greater than 15 rounds despite the 2013 law.

Ten years after the Aurora theater shooting, Colorado has passed some legislation to SHUTTERSTOCK enforce stricter gun laws.

Universal background checks The other major regulation adopted during the 2013 legislative session was a bill requiring universal background checks for gun purchases and transfers in Colorado.

There are some exceptions, including when the gun is being transferred as a gift or loan between family members, or the firearm is being transferred temporarily for use at a shooting range or for hunting.

Violators of the background check requirement could be charged with a Class 1 misdemeanor and be barred from possessing a gun for two years.

A third bill passed in 2013 requires the Colorado Bureau of Investigation to recoup the costs of completing a background check.

Red flag law The passage of the 2013 gun laws resulted in political backlash for Colorado Democrats.

Two Democratic state senators, including the Senate president, were recalled as a result and a third resigned to avoid being recalled. Democrats then lost their majority in the Senate in the 2014 elections and didn’t win it back until the 2018 elections.

During the period when Republicans controlled the state Senate, consequential gun legislation in Colorado did not pass.

When Democrats regained control of the legislature in 2019, they used their new majority to pass a so-called red flag gun bill, which lets judges order the temporary seizure of firearms from people deemed a significant risk to themselves or others. People subject to an extreme-risk protection order are also temporarily barred from purchasing guns.

Here’s how the law works: Law enforcement or someone close to a gun owner petitions a judge to have that person’s firearms temporarily seized through the civil court system. If the order is granted, the judge must rule within 14 days whether to extend the seizure period and prevent the person from purchasing more guns for up to 364 days.

The policy has been used dozens of times in Colorado to temporarily seize guns from people.

Republicans again initiated recalls after the 2019 legislative session, in large part because of the red flag law, but all of those efforts were unsuccessful, empowering Democrats to keep pushing on gun regulations.

Safe storage No new gun regulations were passed in 2020 by the Colorado legislature, which had its hands full trying to respond to COVID-19.

In 2021, however, Democrats began pursuing new gun control measures with an eye toward preventing suicides and accidental gun deaths.

One of those was a bill that passed and was signed into law requiring Coloradans who own guns to store their weapons in a gun safe or with a trigger or cable lock when the owner knows or should reasonably know that a “juvenile or a resident who is ineligible to possess a firearm can gain access to the firearm.”

The guns don’t have to be stored in a safe or with a trigger or cable lock if the owner is carrying the weapon or if they place it in a “secure container which a reasonable person would believe to be secure.” Antique firearms are also exempt from the law.

Violators of the law could be charged with a Class 2 misdemeanor offense. People charged with the crime can argue that the gun wasn’t safely stored because a juvenile needed to gain access to the weapon for self-defense or to defend livestock.

The law also requires licensed gun dealers to provide a trigger or cable lock with each firearm they sell or transfer, except when it comes to the sale or transfer of antique firearms. They also must post a conspicuous safe-storage notice developed by the state’s health department in their shop.

To meet the notice requirement, gun shops may also post a sign saying: “UNLAWFUL STORAGE OF A FIREARM MAY RESULT IN IMPRISONMENT OR FINE.” A licensed gun dealer who does not provide a locking device or post the required notice could be charged with an unclassified misdemeanor punishable by a fine of up to $500.

LAW FROM PAGE 22

Lost and stolen firearms Also in 2021 lawmakers passed Senate Bill 78, which requires gun owners to report a lost or stolen firearm to law enforcement within five days of realizing the weapon is missing.

Failing to report a lost or stolen firearm is a civil offense punishable by a $25 fine. A second or subsequent infraction is an unclassified misdemeanor punishable by a maximum fine of $500.

Ensuring domestic abusers turn over their guns A third measure passed in 2021 — House Bill 1255 — requires people who are subject to a restraining order because of domestic abuse to submit to a judge, within seven business days, an affidavit including a list of the type and number of firearms they own, as well as the location of those weapons.

The legislation is aimed at ensuring those charged with or convicted of domestic abuse relinquish their firearms as required.

Eliminating the local preemption The March 2021 massacre of 10 people at a King Soopers in Boulder prompted Democrats in the legislature to pursue additional gun control measures in the middle of the 2021 lawmaking term.

Arguably the most impactful piece of legislation was Senate Bill 256, which will allow local govern-

ments, public higher education institutions and special districts to enact gun policies that are stronger than what’s written in state law.

The bill rolled back a 2003 preemption measure in Colorado. The 2003 preemption policy led a judge to toss out Boulder’s municipal assault-weapons ban days before the King Soopers shooting.

Closing the Charleston loophole, temporarily preventing people convicted of certain misdemeanors from purchasing guns The second most consequential measure passed after the King Soopers shooting was House Bill 1298, which temporarily prohibits people convicted of certain misdemeanors from purchasing a gun. It also closes the so-called Charleston loophole by requiring gun dealers to complete a background check on a gun buyer before transferring a weapon.

While Colorado has universal background checks, federal law allows guns to be transferred to buyers after three business days if the background check hasn’t been completed. The gap in law is called the Charleston loophole because the gunman who killed nine people at a church in Charleston, South Carolina, in 2015 was able to purchase a firearm despite being prohibited to do so because his background check wasn’t completed within three days.

Meanwhile, people convicted of the following misdemeanors are prohibited from purchasing weapons within five years of their conviction: • third-degree assault

• a bias-motivated crime • child abuse • a crime against an at-risk person • cruelty to animals • harassment • possession of an illegal weapon • sexual assault • unlawful sexual contact • unlawfully providing a firearm other than a handgun to a juvenile • violation of a protection order The misdemeanor provision was driven by the fact that the Boulder shooter had been convicted of third-degree assault a few years before the shooting.

Openly carrying guns at polling places is prohibited In 2022, Colorado lawmakers passed House Bill 1086, which makes it illegal to openly carry a gun within a polling location or within 100 feet of a ballot drop box while voting is happening.

The measure also makes it illegal to openly carry a firearm inside or within 100 feet of a central counting facility during any election administration activity.

What other states have that Colorado doesn’t Despite all of the gun regulation changes in Colorado over the past decade, there are a number of policies that have been adopted in other states that haven’t been repeated in Colorado.

“Colorado has taken tremendous strides towards gun safety in recent years,” said Allison Anderman, senior counsel and director of local policy for the Giffords Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence, which is

named for former U.S. Rep. Gabby Giffords, the Arizona Democrat wounded in a gun attack. “But there is much more to be done.”

Colorado has not enacted a state ban on assault or assault-style weapons, as seven other states — including California and New York — and Washington, D.C., have.

Some states also have waiting periods between when someone purchases a firearm and when they can access it.

Finally, some states, including Florida, have raised the age at which someone can purchase a gun to 21. In Colorado, you must be 21 to purchase a handgun, but you can purchase a rifle or shotgun by 18.

There have been discussions at the Colorado Capitol in recent years about enacting an assaultstyle weapons ban, implementing a gun-purchase waiting period and raising the age at which people can purchase a firearm.

While those policies haven’t been adopted on the state level, some municipalities in Boulder County have recently passed them in light of the 2003 preemption law being overturned. And the Denver City Council earlier his year banned the concealed carrying of guns in all city buildings and parks.

Medicaid numbers up in Colorado since COVID No one has lost benefits since start of pandemic more than two years ago

BY JENNIFER BROWN THE COLORADO SUN

In normal times, about 35,000 people drop off the government health insurance plan for the needy each month, usually because someone in their household got a new job and they no longer qualify.

But since the coronavirus pandemic, and a federal public health emergency declaration more than two years ago, no one has lost their Medicaid benefits.

Colorado has added nearly 500,000 people to its Medicaid rolls since early 2020, an increase of 32%.

The latest extension of the federal order — which says that states can cut no one off the Medicaid rolls during the global crisis, whether they are eligible or not — is set to expire Oct. 13.

Another 90-day extension is likely, considering there’s an election in November and coronavirus numbers have typically surged in the fall, but states are gearing up now to avoid surprise losses of health insurance for hundreds of thousands of people.

Medicaid enrollment continues to increase in Colorado.

“None of this is supposed to be a surprise,” said Ralph Choate, chief operating officer for the Colorado Department of Health Care Policy and Financing, which includes the Medicaid division.

“There are no gotchas in here.

These are people’s lives and their health care.”

The department, in its annual stakeholder meeting July 19, outlined a plan to make sure anyone who is still eligible for Medicaid doesn’t get kicked off the pro-

gram when the public health emergency expires. And state officials estimate there are 455,593 people enrolled in Medicaid who likely would not meet eligibility requirements today, though many of them will likely qualify for some other form of benefits such as the state’s child health plan.

The crux of the plan is a communication blast — planned for late summer and fall — asking the 1.65 million people on Medicaid in Colorado to make sure the program has their current contact information.

“I hope we go through this whole thing and never have somebody that goes, ‘Wait, wait, but I should have responded,’” Choate said. “I’m so hoping we don’t have that.”

Everyone on Medicaid is required to fill out paperwork each year before their coverage anniversary date, information used to determine whether they are eligible for another year. Colorado has been asking people to file the income and health information throughout the pandemic, even though no one will lose coverage.

People who didn’t have a job in 2020 and qualified for Medicaid, but now have a job and no longer qualify, receive notice after the annual review that they are only receiving benefits because of the public health emergency. So, state officials say, no one should be caught off guard. The problem is, about 25%-30% of people neglected to participate in their annual revalidation process, either because they never got around to it or perhaps because they feared they could lose coverage once they reported a change in income.

The federal government has promised a 60-day notice of when the public health emergency will expire.

Once it does, Colorado Medicaid officials face a 14-month process of notifying every participant 60 days ahead of their re-enrollment

date that this time, they must show they are eligible or potentially lose coverage.

While the department is estimating that more than 455,000 might no longer be eligible, an exact number is difficult to determine. Part of the reason is because of Colorado’s high number of seasonal workers, especially those in the skiing, rafting and tourism industry.

“There are a lot of folks here in Colorado, they have a job, don’t have a job, have a job, don’t have a job,” Choate said. “They’ve been going back and forth, in some cases for years,” on Medicaid eligibility.

The goal is to keep people on Medicaid if they qualify, and to offer reduced benefits to others if they fit the criteria. For example, Colorado recently passed a law that says people are eligible for Medicaid for a full year following a pregnancy, instead of the prior timeline of three months. Those who do not qualify for any benefits will get linked to Connect for Health Colorado, where they can purchase health insurance through the state marketplace.

The annual income limit for a family of four to qualify for Medicaid is about $35,000, while the income limit is $69,000 to qualify for the state’s child health plan.

Colorado is in better shape than some states that did not go through the annual revalidation process during the pandemic, state officials said.

The Colorado Department of Health Care Policy and Financing’s government-funded insurance programs, including Medicaid, Child Health Plan Plus and an indigent-care program, cover about one in four state residents.

The $14.2 billion program also boasts that it has increased the number of medical and mental health providers who accept Medicaid clients, now totaling 95,000.

Among those, more than 10,000 are mental health and substance abuse counselors, about 1,100 of which began accepting Medicaid in the last year, according to the department.

Two-thirds of all telehealth appointments covered by Medicaid are behavioral health appointments, officials said.

Medicaid officials said they now have new systems in place to manage enrollment policies during public health emergencies.

“I think we have to operate under the assumption that there is going to be a next time,” Choate said.

Newcomers make tracks in mountain bike racing Former triathlete wins women’s Silver Rush 50-mile race in Leadville

BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Hannah Reese and Paola Larson are both considered newcomers to mountain bike racing and both are doing well.

Reese, a 31-year-old from the Littleton area who is a former triathlete and cross country runner, won the women’s Silver Rush 50-mile mountain bike race in Leadville on July 10 with a time of 4:54.01.

Larson, 41, captured the 15-mile women’s race in Leadville and the Castle Rock resident fashioned a winning time of 1:21.50 in the July 10 affair. Anabella Palmer, 21, also of the Littleton area, was second.

In the men’s 15-mile Silver Rush race, 14-year-old Luke Ozment of Golden was the winner.

Riders in the 50-mile women’s race climbed about 8,000 feet in elevation and it was a first for Reese, who rode a mountain bike for the first time last December.

“I’m pretty competitive,” said

Reese, who tore both her hamstrings during triathlon training.

“So I went back to cycling, started doing more cross training. My brother Caleb is a professional mountain biker and said I should get into mountain biking.”

“I got a mountain bike in November last year and then I got to ride in December and of course it snowed. Then I started riding more in April. I’ve done three races so far.”

Reese, a registered dietitian who owns and founded Flow Formulas, which creates endurance and hydration mixes for sport drinks, learned from the Silver Rush race.

“I’m allergic to everything,” she said. “It’s my Achilles heel and my super power at the same time.

It (Silver Rush race) was definitely a learning experience for me because I had never done a mountain bike race that long.

“It was challenging. The crazy thing is your heart rate is over 170 when you are walking your bike and you are trying to move yourself as fast as you can up a steep climb. Some of those rocks were so loose, it was very difficult. I started to feel an overall fatigue but my legs were good. That’s the training.”

Reese plans to enter the Lead-

ville Trail 100 MTB race which is scheduled for Aug. 13.

“That will also be a big learning experience,” she said. “The Silver Rush was fun. For me mountain bike race is for two things. I really enjoy getting into that zone especially when I’m climbing. And then coming down you want to push the gas but you have timber and rocks and that’s kinda a thrill itself.”

Larson also is entered into the Leadville 100 and has improved in the two years she had been mountain bike racing.

“I love a new challenge,” said Larson. “What is the next challenge I can do and what is the next thing that I can maybe challenge myself to do?

“Last year I did the (Silver Rush) 50. I was obviously very new at it. I probably did all the wrong

things you could do. I was a very slow racer but I did it.

“I was very anxious to see what I could do on that little bit of the course. I know 7.5 miles out and back is a shorter version of the Silver Rush. I felt really strong, I felt a huge difference from last year. I was pretty happy with the way I rode.”

The Leadville 100 is yet another challenge for Larson.

“I’ve never done 100 miles on a bike, any kind of a bike, so this is definitely the next challenge,” she admitted.

“My biggest thing to improve right now is going downhill. I’ve got to overcome that fear. Sometime I prefer the suffering of going uphill. You really have to be focused coming downhill. I feel like sometimes it is harder going downhill than going uphill.’’

As the state works to clear the backlog created by the pandemic, new unemployment SHUTTERSTOCK filers are waiting 10-12 weeks.

PAY FROM PAGE 5

took about four to six weeks to process. After the start of the pandemic, an executive order by Gov. Jared Polis forced the agency to put applicant reviews on hold and pay benefits within 10 days.

Since April 1, there have been 32,273 new claims for unemployment benefits in Colorado, or an average of 2,300 per week, according to the U.S. Department of Labor.

That’s higher than the pre-pandemic average of 1,500 to 1,800 per week.

More claims continue to tax staff, which has also been difficult to retain. Spesshardt said the labor department is not unlike other employers who have dealt with labor shortages in the past year. A recent new training class for new hires attracted 10 people instead of 20, he said. The agency now has 89 available staff to process claims, compared to 71 before the pandemic.

Another 20 are being trained.

The labor department split up its staff to handle older pandemic claims and new ones and is working on ways to prioritize new claims so those folks aren’t waiting three months for their first unemployment check. The goal is to get new claims processed within three to four weeks. In certain circumstances where there are no issues, a claim is processed and paid after the first week.

“We have a team that’s dedicated to working the old backlog and the remaining three or four teams are

processing current claims as they (come in) right now. Again, right now, that requires some manual work for supervisors,” Spesshardt said. “They’re supposed to roll out an enhancement within the system that will allow the system to automatically do that so we hope to see better efficiencies moving forward.”

According to the U.S. Department of Labor, the number of new unemployment claims in Colorado was 2,289 for the week ending July 2, up about 215 from the prior week.

That’s also about the same number as a year ago but higher than the average week in 2019, when weekly new claims were around 1,500 to 1,800. Continued claims were roughly the same as the prior week, at 16,566. Weekly continued claims have been declining all year.

People who are waiting on their unemployment claim to be processed should continue to document their search for work and request a payment each week. After their claim is processed and approved, all eligible weeks will be paid. For those who have been waiting more than 12 weeks, Spesshardt advised that they check spam filters and missed calls, and also call the customer service line at 303-318-9000 and ask that their case be escalated.
