Adams 12 Schools partners with Aims The next generation of high school students are taking classes in firefighting

BY BELEN WARD BWARD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A collaboration between Aims Community College, the Adams 12 school district and local fire stations hopes to create the next generation of rescue first responders.

“I feel it’s important because they get to experience what firefighting is all about before they decide to pursue a degree in the field of study, “ said John McDougall, fire science program director at Aims Community College. “It also gives them the necessary certification to become a rural reserve, part-time, volunteer firefighter where they can gain valuable experience with what it’s like to serve as a volunteer in a community.”

The program offers fire science classes at Adams 12’s new career and technical campus, FutureForward at Washington Square. Upon graduation, the students have the

option of continuing their work at Aims Community College or transferring their credit to another school.

“We are beyond excited, once we work past COVID, I believe this program will be in very high demand and will be given rave reviews by the students and faculty at FutureForward at Washington Square,” McDougall said.

FutureForward program at Washington Square campus opened in Thornton near 126th Avenue at Washington Square last summer. It joined Bollman Tech as the second Career and Technical Education (CTE) facility in the Adams 12 school district.

“We opened our doors in August of 2020. As part of the expansion of our CTE programming we identified a need to offer our students a Firefighting program,” said Marvin Lewis, principal at Future Forward at Washington Square.

Lewis said from 400 to 500 students in the school district were being turned away who were interested in attending the Career and Technical Education program at the Bollman Campus. It was this need that resulted in building FutureForward at Washington Square.

“We were able to utilize Bond funding to plan and open our Washington Square campus that would help alleviate the overflow of students wanting to attend,” said Lewis.

College credit and real-world skills

At the Washington Square campus, students can choose both HazMat and Firefighter 1 certifications. Once students graduate high school, they have the option to continue their education at Aims or move their credits to a college of choice. Also, they are prepared for a career in fire service or the military with a skill-set and the basic requirements completed.

“We wanted to offer college credit for the students and we’re able to negotiate support from Aims Community College and their firefighting program,” said Lewis.

Lewis said that for the first semester, which begins Jan. 25, 45 students have enrolled in both remote and in-person firefighting classes four days a week and remote learning on Wednesday’s at the Washington Square campus.

The Thornton Fire Department will come into the classroom on Monday’s and Thursday’s to teach the lab skills.

“We are just beginning to register our students for the 2021-2022 school year,” said Lewis.

Both the Thornton and Westminster departments have gotten involved.

“We are excited this semester to participate,” said Stephanie Harparing, Thornton Fire Department, Fire Marshal. “In August 2020, we donated a fire engine to Future Forward for the students to learn. It’s a fire engine that was in service with the Thornton Fire Department with their emblem.

The students were excited to get into the fire engine and open all the doors.”.

The Adams 12 school district has five comprehensive high schools and three charter schools. Juniors and Seniors within the district have the opportunity to register for the firefighter program.

“I’m truly excited about the firefighting program and the great opportunity it presents for our students. We continue to work with the City of Thornton Fire and Westminster Fire to develop job shadowing opportunities in the program. We fully anticipate our firefighting students will help bridge the gap in hiring at all the state fire departments,” said Lewis.

Re-8 board aims to find a unified voice Education Board members speaking as one on difficult topics

BY STEVE SMITH SSMITH@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The Weld Re-8 School District board of education began the process of overhauling its governance procedures during a virtual workshop session on Jan. 14.

Final approval is due Thursday, Jan. 28.

One area that came under more scrutiny than the others was that of presenting a unified voice in the community after the board makes a decision. Board member Cody LeBlanc said there were certain decisions he couldn’t support.

“I understand not showing divisiveness,” he said. “Say we approve a new curriculum for sex education for the high school where it teaches abortion as a form of birth control.

There is not one ounce of me that can support that in public. I have to stand true to my principles.”

“Voting ‘no’ is standing up to your principals,” said board member Michelle Bettger. “I understand you

vote the way you want to vote. But it’s not like you should be saying, ‘I can’t believe the board voted that way.’”

Board President Susan K. Browne quoted from the Colorado Association of School Boards that it was a “duty as board members to support decisions.”

“We all understand my position with CASB,” LeBlanc said. “What they say isn’t law. I want (this governance policy) worded differently.”

“Like Susan read, the board members should have one voice,” said board member Matthew Adame.

“We’re not all going to agree,” Bettger said. “Do you think something along the lines of ‘honoring’ a decision would work? That shows we work together and honor the vote at the end of the night.”

It started when Bettger suggested that directors should attend an entire, regular meeting and not just a closed-door executive session.

“I agree. I’ve done that before,” LeBlanc said. “All decisions are important, and executive sessions are extremely important. It’s important for the board to be on the same page.”

LeBlanc, Adame and Re-8 Superintendent Alan Kaylor weren’t sure if such a rule was legally possible.

Wrestling back on the mat — with recommendations

BY STEVE SMITH SSMITH@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Prep wrestling for boys and girls will be a part of the so-called “Season B” of interscholastic athletics for some, but not all Colorado High Schools.

The Colorado High School Activities Association received a waiver from state health officials earlier PAID ADVERTISEMENT

Pre-Retirees: Plan Now for Health Care Costs If you’re getting close to retirement, you’ll have several financial issues to consider. But you’ll want to pay special attention to one of the most important of these: health-care costs.

What should you do to prepare yourself for these expenses?

Here’s one key move: Don’t overestimate the amount that Medicare will pay for your various medical expenses, as Medicare doesn’t cover everything. Between copays, deductibles and coinsurance, you’ll face out-of-pocket costs.

Plus, you may need to add a supplemental policy, known as Medigap. Ultimately, you may need to budget between $4,500 to $6,500 per year for traditional medical expenses in retirement.

But you should also be aware that Medicare typically pays very little of what may be the largest health care expense - long-term care.

A private room in a nursing home can cost more than $100,000 per year, according to Genworth, an insurance company. A financial professional can recommend an appropriate protection vehicle to meet the costs of longterm care.

When it comes to paying for health care, the fewer surprises, the better – so get the help you need and start planning now.

this month. As of late last week, Brighton, Fort Lupton, Prairie View, Adams City and Riverdale Ridge high schools were planning to field teams.

Clear Creek and Skyview high schools, among others, won’t field teams. In Clear Creek’s case, it’s just the wrestling program. In Skyview’s case, the Wolverines won’t field any of the sports (boys and girls basketball plus wrestling) this winter.

Two of the last areas to get the OK for a wrestling season were the Boulder Valley and St. Vrain school districts. That happened less than two weeks before the season can begin. Frederick High School is in the St. Vrain District.

The OK comes with caution on the part of state and local health department officials. A letter from the Metro Denver Partnership for Health to CHSAA went so far as to recommend delaying the wrestling season until later in the semester.

One of the authors is Dr. John M. Douglas, executive director of the Tri-County Health Department.

“We have significant concerns about the exposure risk this creates for wrestlers due to the sport’s high degree of person-to-person contact

wrestling teams. The reason is there is more limited contact.

Cheer and spirit seasons are part of the Season B schedule.

“Cheerleaders should only remove their mask when engaged in tumbling, stunting, or flying, as recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics,” the letter read.

“Masks should be worn at all other times, and coaches are strongly encouraged to alter routines to achieve mask wearing and distancing to the greatest extent possible.”

Practices began this week. MDPH stated its support of interscholastic athletics “...and believes that CHSAA and the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment’s guidance will help reduce risk while allowing young athletes to be physically active, another shared goal.”

“Local jurisdictions may have masking requirements in place that are more stringent than the state masking requirement, and we encourage you to work with your local public health agency to clarify these requirements and how they align with these recommendations,” the letter said.

Basketball players and others in high-school gyms will have to wear masks this season.

and the increased exhalation while in close contact and with unmasked faces,” according to the letter. “Increased risk of transmission among these athletes not only threatens their health but the potential for schools to continue in-person learning.”

CHSAA will not force wrestlers to wear masks during bouts.

The letter offered other tips for the coming season that included: • Promote the use of the Binax Home test. “Test all wrestlers regularly as well as prior to competitions, looking to the practices and experiences of other team sporting organizations implementing routine testing approaches,” the letter said; • Require all wrestlers to attend classes 100 percent remotely through the semester or until 14 days after the last bout at the end of the wrestling season; and • Work together to identify a masking system that could work with wrestling and not increase safety issues with wrestlers, including identifying options and promising practices from other states.

The MDPH letter also expressed similar concerns for cheer and spirit teams, though less so than

The described water rights in this paragraph 3 that are to be changed pursuant to this Application are sometimes referred to herein as the “Subject Water Rights.” The Subject Water Rights have been used for the irrigation of farms within the Burlington, Wellington and Fulton systems. A map showing the location of these parcels is attached as Exhibits A-1 and A-2. A table setting forth the names of those from whom the shares were purchased, the date Brighton obtained them, the certificate number of the particular shares, and the number of shares received by Brighton is attached as Exhibits B-1 and B-2. The total number of acres historically irrigated on the Fulton system parcels is approximately 260.76 and the total number of acres historically irrigation on the Burlington and Wellington parcels is approximately 914.85. Brighton may seek to rely upon any and all diversion records pertaining to the Subject Water kept and retained by the Fulton, Burlington and Wellington companies, and by the office of the State Engineer. The attached Exhibits C-1 and C-2 provide a summary of diversions for the Subject Water Rights with Fulton diversions based on the State of Colorado Division of Water Resources records and the Burlington and Wellington diversions based on their company records.

4. Detailed description of proposed change.

Brighton seeks to change the location of use and add additional uses in order to integrate the Subject Water Rights into Brighton’s augmentation plans and exchange system, and to make the rights available to meet contract obligations. The changed uses, in addition to the existing decreed uses, are for all municipal, augmentation, recharge, replacement, exchange and substitution, either directly or following storage. Municipal uses include, but are not limited to, domestic, mechanical, manufacturing, commercial, industrial, fire protection, sewage treatment, street sprinkling, recreational, fish and wildlife propagation, irrigation of parks, lawns, gardens and grounds, augmentation and replacement, recharge, use as a substitute supply, adjustment and regulation of municipal water systems, including further exchange with other municipal water systems and with other water users, within the City of Brighton’s service area as it may exist both now and into the future and meeting contractual obligations outside of Brighton’s service area. Brighton has quantified the Subject Water Rights, and the historical consumptive use derived therefrom, and seeks the right to fully consume such percentage when the changed water is used for the above changed purposes, including by reuse or successive use.

Such right of reuse and successive use shall be conditioned upon Brighton’s ability to maintain legal dominion and control over such water, and upon such notification, identification and reporting as the Division Engineer may require. 4.1. The amount of water to be changed is the entire volume of water to which the Subject Water Rights are entitled. 4.2. Applicant seeks the right to store the water rights to be changed. The identified
