The total outlay for the upgrades sits at $1.5 million, according to notes from the Aug. 8 meeting. Vestal outlined the pros and cons for upgrading the plant. “The pro … is having a known timeline,” he said. “The city will remain in control of the plant. The pros for connecting to the Metro (Wastewater) District is the city gets to transfer regulation risk to them, the city will have economy of scale and the Metro District includes a pretreatment program.”

Eligibility issues at Fort Lupton High School caught some attention from Weld Re-8 School District school board member Cody LeBlanc during a board workshop Aug. 11. LeBlanc said the district was not focusing enough on academic standards.“Wearehere to educate and graduate well-rounded students,” said board member Michelle Bettger. “Participation in extracurricular activities, team sports helps. I don’t want to hinder a student. If we have to cancel games because students are ineligible, that doesn’t make us look good outside our district. We allow tutoring. Our coaches are sending athletes for help. Albert (softball coach Albert Vasquez) always puts the classroom first.” “I agree,” LeBlanc said. “That’s part of why we need to be more

This article was written by Edward Jones for use by your local Edward Jones Financial Advisor. What should you know about IRA rollovers? Your IRA is a great way to save for retirement. But if your current IRA provider’s fees are too high, or its investment options are too limited, you might want to consider switching to another provider. You could make an indirect rollover, in which your IRA would be liquidated and the money sent to you. But if you don’t deposit the money into another eligible IRA within 60 days, the transfer may be subject to taxes and penalties. As an alternative, you could simply ask your old IRA provider to move the money directly to your new provider. If you’re moving money from a 401(k) to an IRA, you can make a direct rollover, in which your 401(k) administrator essentially writes a check to your new IRA custodian, with no taxes withheld. However, if the payment is sent to you, you’ll have to put it in the IRA within 60 days to avoid possible tax liabilities and potential penalties. When it’s time to move money from your IRA or 401(k), you should consult with your tax and financial professionals. These funds will contribute to your retirement income, so manage them wisely. licensed in CO, MT License # 1846034, and TX. This is not a commitment to lend. Restrictions apply.

The meeting format didn’t al low for a policy change. Eligibil ity rules for the 2022-2023 school year are in place. Mileage policy There may be a change in al lowable travel for FLHS athletes and others involved in extracur ricular activities. The limit is 200 miles. But the Bluedevils moved to a new ath letic league this year and one of the schools is in Leadville, and another is in Steamboat Springs. It’s not likely that any athletic programs will travel to either city more than once over the next two years. League teams play a home-and-home series over the two-year cycle. The Colorado High School Ac tivities Association sets league alignments for most sports for two-year periods based on school enrollment. CHSAA also conducts a separate enrollment count for the schools that offer football. The enrollment ranges for that count are smaller. “We’re looking at some longdistance travel,” Jacoby said. “We may need to change the policy. Scheduling non-confer ence games is tough. We might have to go into the hills, across the hills to get something. Our wrestling team has a standing tradition of going to Grand Junction.”“Weneed to find out the sched ules so we know what to cover year-to-year in the two-year cycle,” Kaylor said.
Brown they hired me to make this Buffalo Bill for them and their family. This is a family heirloom to pass on in the generations to come. I am glad it was recognized as a worthwhile piece and they can be proud of it,” Martin said.Martin entered the Buffalo Bill Intarsia piece at the Weld County Fair with Brown’s permission under the fine arts competition, and it won the champion ribbons.JanBrown from Fort Lupton is a descendant of William Cody Buffalo Bill who collects photos, books and memorabilia in a family museum. She commissioned Martin to make a bust of Buffalo Bill as a family heirloom. Cody is her ancestor three times removed, making him her great, great, great uncle, she thinks. “We are the fourth generation three times remove, or something of that nature,” said Brown. Color and texture Martin said the form of the medium he submitted is called intarsia, which was developed in 16th century Italy. He uses different wood species from the Midwest and Firestone to create the color and texture for Buffalo Bills pieces.
Grew up in the midwest Before Martin re-invented himself as an artist, he grew up near Janesville on a dairy farm in southern Wisconsin. He and his wife were also dairy farmers on a 96-acre farm, but they couldn’t make a good living. Martin said he started a business of native restoration called Midwest Prairies that managed woodland prairie and habitat restoration, which is related to farming. “It controls weeds and invasive species so they can plant wildflowers and native grasses to create wildlife habitat,” he said. When the Martins retired from the native restoration business, they decided to move to Colorado. “My wife always wanted to live where she could see the mountains. So retired, we moved out to Firestone, Colorado,” Martin said.
Buffalo Bill’s hat is a piece of an old cedar utility pole. His hair is from Spalted maple – a rotted piece of maple discolored with black streaks from a fungus. The iris of Buffalo Bill’s eyes is from a piece of a Russian Olive tree that grew near Firestone library. “The walnut came from a lone tree growing along the Rock River which was cut in the last century for a bank being built in New York. I requested, the Public Works Department to save a few chunks of it for me for this piece. I used walnut and cherry from Wisconsin,” Martin said. “I saved the discarded limbs for Buffalo Bill. The cherry was salvaged from an Oak Savanna restoration in Rock County.”

We are very proud of these youth, and we appreciate the unwavering support of their families and community members.”

The total amount includes the sale of animals, individual supporter contributions, and add-on money. This year’s sale was on August 1, with about 355 buyers and more than 400 people coming to watch the sale in person. About 75 people watched and participated in the sale via live stream. The buyers could also donate the meat from an animal to the Weld County Food Bank.

Walking into a new hobby
FROM PAGE 1 ARTISTS
Martin started his wood carving hobby after meeting a man named Randy. The two would walk every day on a trail behind Martin’s house. “I started a conversation with the guy he invited me to his house and he introduced me to intarsia artwork. He and his wife must have up to 400 of this type of art, all over his house. He is a natural artist and also does chainsaw carving, too,” Martin said. He had always liked working with wood, and Martin thought this would be an excellent opportunity to learn from Randy. “I used paper patterns and glue the patterns to the wood, then you cut our pieces of wood using a scroll saw. The real artistic challenge comes from choosing the right pieces of wood to get the desired texture, the woodgrain and the color of the wood to make it look natural,” Martin said. Martin said the wood for his works comes from all over the country. He keeps his eyes peeled when he and his wife travel in their RV, looking for the right pieces of wood. He’ll stop at the waste sites and find nice pieces of wood lying there, and he throws them in the bottom of his RV. “When I get home, I sorted them all out and cut them open and lay them out on a rack. So, when I’m doing a project I pick and choose what seems to work with my piece,” Martin said.

A recent BMC Public Health study examining the effects COVID-19 had on working mothers found that 54.3% of their participants “reported psychological distress levels associated with moderate mental illness (MMI) and serious mental illness” and that not receiving mental health benefits was associated with a 50% increase of severe mental illness (SMI). Statistics, articles, and polls have shown that Americans face a dire mental health crisis and want access to high-quality services that will address their needs. Congress needs to take action to address these issues because Americans are suffering and have suffered at the hands of the healthcare system before. This deadly pandemic has exposed deep flaws in our healthcare system. Politicians must fix our system to ensure every person will thrive in America.

Michael Norton As the passengers boarded the flight, the scene was typical of any flights I have taken in the past several years. As people stood in line, slowly walking onto the jetway, heads were down as people were focusing their attention on their phones. This caught my attention only because it wasn’t just a few, it was almost everyone. It may seem natural these days because that is how we consume information, communicate, or entertain ourselves. It’s like parking your white car and seeing that most of the cars in the lot that day are white. Or stopping into your local pub and everyone is drinking the same beer. For my friends at Bart & Yeti’s up in Vail, Colorado, they know this all too well, they refer to Budweiser as the house red, and you can see just how many people are drinking the house red as you walk in. The flight I was boarding was a fourand-a-half-hour flight. We all boarded, and I was scanning the plane seeing almost everyone with their faces buried in their phone. Again, no issue with this as the productivity is awesome allowing us to connect with family, friends, coworkers and customers. There was a period of time where the internet connection is lost. It’s not until we are about 10-15 minutes in the air when we can usually connect to the Wi-Fi. What happened next could be upsetting to some of you, so please continue reading with caution. Many of the travelers were trying to connect a phone or a laptop to the WiFi. Heads started to pop up as passengers craned their neck to look around to see if others were also having difficulties connecting. And I was right there with them, looking around for the flight attendant, hoping someone could save the day. Passengers were pressing the call button in a panic. I mean can you imagine the horror, being trapped on a four-and-a-half-hour flight with no access to the outside world? What will happen? What will we do? Yikes. With the exception of a couple passengers who continued to try and get the flight attendants to try and reset the system — one passenger almost begging as she “had a lot of work to do” — everyone else did something else, they said “No Wi-Fi, no problem.”
PRESSFORT LUPTON SE R VIN G THE CO MMU NITY SINC E 190 6 As an active member and leader in my community, the issues of prior authorization and the lack of access to diverseaffectedhavehealthcarehealthcarementalinoursystemnegativelythoseinmyandhardworking community. We need Congress to take action now and address these disparities in our healthcare system.Priorauthorization - when physicians must receive approval from insurers for necessary procedures or medications - is a common practice in the U.S. healthcare system. However, this practice is just as harmful as it is widespread. In fact, an American Medical Association (AMA) survey of 1,000 physicians found that 9 in 10 reported prior authorizations delayed access to necessary care and more than 25 percent said the delays had led to a dangerous event. Because prior authorization leads to major delays in care, many Americans are forced to pay out-of-pocket as these harmful delays threaten their health and safety. These unfair practices have been personal to me recently. A fellow Thornton community member and family member committed suicide on July 5. She was trying to receive the help she needed but was forced to wait for prior authorization from her insurer, as well as referrals to specialists. She left behind a husband, two children, and many family members who loved her deeply, including me. Additionally, Consumers for Quality Care’s Summer 2022 Research in Colorado found that Coloradans are most concerned about out-of-pocket costs in relation to health care. And nearly 60% say at some point they’ve skipped or delayed care out of concerns over out-of-pocket costs. Rising out-of-pocket costs are the leading concern for voters, and politicians must be aware of this. While exorbitant out-of-pocket costs are a significant concern of mine, another is the lack of access to equitable mental health services. When I ran for Thornton City Council, I prioritized diversity. I want to celebrate diversity, create a more inclusive community and build an equitable future for Adams County. An equitable future means everyone should have equal access to well-funded services they need to thrive. I cannot ignore the flagrant lack of access to our healthcare system’s mental health services, which predominantly impacts minorities. Whether this is a lack of access to these resources, cultural stigmas surrounding mental health, or simply facing discrimination daily, minorities experience the brunt of this issue. As a Latina woman, I know how mental health stigma impacts my community specifically. Language barriers cause healthcare providers to misdiagnose members of my community; furthermore, it is difficult to find BIPOC mental health professionals.The American Psychiatric Association found that “studies have shown that older Hispanic adults and Hispanic youth are especially vulnerable to psychological stresses associated with immigration and acculturation.”
As a student success coach and mother to two beautiful boys, I understand the strain societal expectations and our duties to our families and careers have on us. Often, balancing these two critical aspects of our lives comes at the expense of our mental health. With the added burden of the pandemic, these results were exacerbated.The New York Times created an interactive story called “The Primal Scream,” which explored the pandemic’s toll on working mothers’ mental health and featured audio clips from frustrated, beaten-down mothers.

I heard more conversations taking place than I had in a long time. I saw people reading on an e-reader or they had an actual book. One gentleman sitting near me took out a notebook and was capturing his thoughts and I can see him creating a to-do list. Couples held hands or leaned into each other in conversation. Business travelers were connecting and sharing their stories and experiences. Parents played games with their kids. And some fell peacefully to sleep, probably catching up on some much-needed rest. All with the exception of the one passenger who felt compelled to try and plead with the flight attendants hoping they could pull off a miracle in the final 30 minutes. It was not to be. However, there was a miracle that did occur, people connected, maybe even reconnected with priorities and family as we all lived through a fourand-a-half-hour flight without access to the outside world, and we survived. Many of us, as we stood up waiting to deplane, knowingly acknowledged each other with a smile, recognizing that it wasn’t just OK, it was actually better than OK as we traded our Wi-Fi connections for real connections. How about you, could use a fourand-a-half-hour break from connecting with the outside world, or maybe even technology? For me, it was an awesome respite as I dug out a book from my backpack and settled in for a few hours of quality reading time. As always I would love to hear your story at gotonorton@gmail.com, and when we can remember that when we cannot connect because there is no Wi-Fi, it’s OK because we can connect with so much more of the important things in life, and that really make it a better than good life.
Jessica Grose wrote in her article (featured in The Primal Scream), “The pandemic has touched every group of Americans, and millions are suffering, hungry and grieving. But many mothers in particular get no space or time to recover.”

WASTEWATER
At present, Vestal said, the city gets a benefit from discharges “because the water received is reusable and is counted toward the city’s augmenta tion.”The best option to connect to the district is along Weld County’s right of way on U.S. Highway 85, Vestal told the panel. He called it “the most cost-effective and (has) an extremely low risk of having to move the line.”
“There are an estimated 2,800 total taps,” Vestal said at the Aug. 8 forum. “The city is hoping to pay the Metro District before the end of 2022 to lock in a better price. The cost for the lift station has gone down since the esti mate. This is due to Burns & McDon nell’s design allowing reuse of most of the current plant.” The initial cost is about $40 million. Vestal also discussed payment op tions“Using plant investment and tap fees from new construction will help even out the costs and make it less of a burden for the citizens on their utility bills,” he said. “There is a potential to raise the Reg 85 (the rule that regulates nitrogen, phosphorus and chlorophyll in the state’s surface waters) fee in the chance the city does not get the projected amount of builder fees.” The city has until Aug. 15 to apply for bonds. Bonds are due to be on the market in October and will become available in December. The Colorado Department of Pub lic Health & Environment mandated that cities, including Fort Lupton, take steps to get rid of high amounts of phosphorus in the wastewater. The initial cost for upgrading the plant (2020 figures) was between $38 million and $42 million. Mayor Pro Tem Chris Ceretto and councilpersons Bruce Fitzgerald,. Valerie Blackston, Claud Hanes and David Crespin were in attendance Aug. 8. So were Vestal, City Adminis trator Chris Cross and assistant city clerk Kaela Friedland. The city plans to begin work in January and finish in June 2024. PAGE 1

August 18, 202210 Fort Lupton Press T hey’re going back to school, too — but this time, they’ll be on the other side of the desk. First-year teachers and their colleagues across the Denver metro area are kicking off the 2022-23 school year this month. For the past two and a half years, teachers have been on the front lines as classrooms went virtual and returned with masks. They have fought for more recognition and better pay.Some fi rst-year teachers have experienced some of these challenges as substitutes or student teachers, but it hasn’t deterred them from pursuing the“Youprofession.hearall these negative things that people on the outside say about teaching, but being on the inside … seeing all the students grow and making those connections is worth it,” said Laura Hirn of Jefferson County’s Fairmount Elementary.Whilethe“hows” differ for each fi rst-year teacher, the “whys” are virtually the same: “I want to be the teacher I never had,” said Jennah Lacy of Prairie View High School in Adams County. Hirn felt similarly, remarking how “everyone remembers a teacher who made a positive impact” on their lives. She said she wanted to be that teacher forPeterothers.Ferrante, of Overland Trail Middle School in Adams County, described how he pursued other careers before becoming a teacher. In these other jobs, he always “really enjoyed helping others fi nd what they’re passionate about.” So, Ferrante became a teacher to do exactly that, but full-time.Likewise, Chelsea Vandurme of Carlson Elementary School in Idaho Springs worked in the mortgage industry, as a coach, and —most recently — as a stay-at-home mom. She also served as a substitute for the nearby elementary schools before getting her certifi cate to teach preschool this May. “I love working with kids,” she said. “I love … being a part of the community and being the foundation of the school.” Learning the basics Being a coach is all about building on a student’s preexisting skillset, but being a preschool teacher is all about SEE TEACHERS, P11 LOCAL LIFE LOCAL LIFE
Laura Hirn, a music teacher at Je erson County’s Fairmount Elementary, hopes to instill her students with a love of singing and music. Hirn will be teaching 450-500 students total, with class rotating through her music room every three weeks. instilling the very basics, Vandurme explained. Along with colors, shapes, numbers and letters, her job is also helping them learn social-emotional skills, build confi dence, and become more independent.Carlson Elementary kicked off the fi rst day of class on Aug. 22, and Vandurme expressed beforehand how excited she was. The Georgetown resident said substitute-teaching at Carlson gave her a chance to get to know the students and the community fi rst. So, once she received her early childhood teaching certifi cate from Red Rocks Community College, teaching at Carlson was the logicalBecausechoice.preschool can often be intimidating or challenging for students, Vandurme said she wants to make the experience a positive one for younger children.“Iwant them to want to come to school,” she continued.Meanwhile, at Fairmount Elementary between Golden and Arvada, Hirn and her colleagues started classes Aug. 16. Hirn will be teaching music to 450500 students across a threeweekHirn,rotation.wholives in Arvada, was a student-teacher at a nearby elementary school, and loved the area and the district. So, in looking for jobs, she felt like Fairmount Elementary would be ideal because of its sense of community and culture.“Ididn’t even know the music room was this big and awesome,” she continued.Hirn majored in music education at Colorado State University, and could have taught any grade level in K-12. She opted for elementary school because she loved the atmosphere. “Music just spirals,” she said, describing how what students learn in elementary school become fundamental for later musical education.Musicis the universal language, Hirn said, and she’s seen the kind of connections students can make with it. She hoped to share her passion for performing, saying she hoped to inspire at least one student to pursue a career in choir or music the way she has.

eighth-grade language and literature at Brighton’s Overland Trail Middle School, was a teacherresident at the school last year. He was participated in the Denver-based Public Education & Business Coalition to translate his experience in journalism into teaching language and literature.WhileFerrante recognized that not every student will love reading and writing like he does, he wanted to emphasize analytical skills and learning how to inform oneself and argue a position. The Aurora resident decided to return to Overland Trail because of the camaraderie among the staff and the great student population, saying, “It made me sure I wanted to stay here.”
As for why he opted for middle school, Ferrante said it’s a special time when teachers can bolster students’ confi dence and skills before they go to high school.“Middle school is a special time,” he said. “There’s so much positive change you can Coincidentally,have.”Lacy felt the same way about high school. She felt like the age group was a fun one to teach, saying she wanted to prepare them for life after highLacyschool.teaches integrated mathematics at Prairie View High School, which is near Commerce City. Like Ferrante, she understood not every student will enjoy math. But, she wanted to instill problem-solving skills and a passion for learning, so her students always remember the lessons behind the math. Lacy, who’s from Parker but now lives in Denver’s Central Park neighborhood, went through the CU Teach program through the University of Colorado-Boulder. She majored in math with a minor in education.Whiletraveling in Florida, she did a Zoom interview with Prairie View. Even through the computer screen, Lacy felt welcomed and that the school was “a great community to be a part of.” As a first-year teacher, Lacy recognized there will be challenges to navigate this year and beyond. But, in those times, she plans to reflect on why she’s there. “We’re preparing the next generation … (and) it takes a certain kind of person to do that,” she said. “It takes a lot of hard work and patience. But it’s important to have that passion to want to be here. Because the kids can feel that.”
Chelsea Vandurme is a first-year preschool teacher at Carlson Elementary in Idaho Springs. Vandurme served as a substitute teacher and coach at Carlson Elementary and around Clear Creek County, which she said proved good experience for gettting to know the students, the school and the community.
Peter Ferrante joins Brighton’s Overland Trail Middle School as an eighth-grade language and literature teacher. Ferrante was a teacher resident at OTMS last spring, and decided to return because of the faculty’s teamwork-first culture and the student community.

But in college, it was very cohesive. It was one of the best times of my life. I had so much fun.” “When I was playing sports growing up, I always strived to be the best. And to do that you have to look up to and learn from the best,” Brady Jacovetta said. “Even though I played football and looked up to the best QB’s in the game, I always looked up you, aunt Denene, for inspiration and hoped to be able to leave behind a legacy like hers.

The second coach, Brad Sanden, stayed two years and, in Shivley’s view, “turned the program around.”
“When Brad came in, he changed the sense of volleyball for me,” she said. “In those days, we had two people who received the ball and passed the ball. It was a different style of play, then. He changed the way I played the game.”
