The Weld County board of commissioners approved increased specialized trauma-responsive training for new foster parents and relatives who are providers, according to a Feb. 5 press release.

“They have always had this program. This change is to a new evidence-based training program.

It’s from a national model and is a newer version of what they had been doing,” said Jennifer Finch, Weld County communications director.

The Weld County Department of Human Services Welfare Division is involved with the process of certifying foster families and relatives who are providers. The interviews with former foster youth who shared their experiences with advice have helped the departments specialize the training.

The training has been successful for the new foster parents and relatives who are providers. It provides them with the skills to care for children and youth who have been victims of abuse and neglect causing trauma and toxic stresses, according to officials.

“The voices of those with real-life experience, whether as children needing services or as foster or kinship parents providing care, are a vital piece of the puzzle when it comes

Weld County is looking for feedback for its Community Development Block Grant Program.

Officials want to know of potential improvements in the various communities, according to a press release.

“We encourage residents to tell us their thoughts about community improvement projects that are needed in our county,” Weld County Commission Chairman Steve Moreno said. “This program benefits our residents and county as a whole, so hearing the public’s thoughts helps the process.”

Steven Eugene Barclay

August 22, 1962 ~ January 30, 2021

9/24/1938 - 1/26/2021

Jerry was born at home on the family farm In Fort Lupton September 24, 1938, to Helen A. (Huett) and Ted. A. Adams, the youngest of the four children.

After college, he became a studio musician (drummer); following his service in the army and returning to the Fort Lupton area, he met his wife of almost 57 years, Sandra (Sandy) Scott.

Jerry took a job with IBM in Boulder and was transferred to San Jose, CA in 1972.

They always loved to dance together and multiple teachers and classes later

It is with heavy hearts that the family of Steven Eugene Barclay announces he went home to be with the Lord on Saturday, January 30, 2021 at the age of 58.

Steve was born August 22, 1962 and has been a beloved member of the Ft. Lupton community for over 50 years. He was a loving, caring brother to Susan. They shared many wonderful memories. She will always remember his strong presence in her life and his unconditional love. The sound of his booming voice and laughter would always let you know he was near; it will always ring in her heart. He was deeply loved and will be greatly missed.

Steve will be remembered by many friends who became as close as family. They were always there for one another through the good and the bad. He was known as the life of the party, fun to be around and someone you could depend on to be there at a moment’s notice. Steve was a kind and loving spirit. He loved to be outdoors and fishing was his passion. You could always find him outside working on cars or helping out a friend. Anyone needing a vehicle worked on, knew who to bring it to.

Steve was a wonderful uncle to his nieces and great nieces. He enjoyed spending time with his great-nieces - always up for whatever they wanted to do. He was always there for his family; he was funny and made life seem like an adventure and there was never anything to worry about.

He will be deeply missed by his loving, caring partner, Rochelle McClay. He showed her unconditional love. He always made her laugh and was a true gentleman bringing her flowers, taking her on dates

every Friday night, going fishing and traveling together. The last five years were some of the best years of her life. You will be missed love bug.

Steve will be fondly remembered by his most dear and treasured friend (brother), Doug Cardenas of over 50 years. A recent fond memory was when Steve would buy the $10 pizza on Tuesdays from Papa Murphy’s and drop off the cowboy with extra toppings that they both liked. He would even sometimes bake it before he brought it over. Steve would always help whenever or with whatever Doug needed. These boys rode motorcycles together, drove fast cars, traveled the states, raised some hell and always had each other’s backs. He sure is gonna miss his lifelong friend, Steve.

He is survived by Rochelle McCay of Brighton; father, James Barclay (Justina) of Ft. Lupton; sister, Susan Bruno (Samuel) of Wyoming; nieces, Ashley O’Neal (Caleb) of Wyoming and Sarah Wilson (Wesley) of Texas; and great nieces, Aubrey, Gracie, Jessa and Gwen O’Neal of Wyoming and Rilynn and Abbigail Wilson of Texas. He is preceded in death by his mother, Sandra Barclay; and older brother, Jimmy.

Mathew 11:28 “Come to me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.”

We love you Steve.

Fort Lupton eyes water valve repairs

City may spend $28,000 for treatment plant work

BY STEVE SMITH SSMITH@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

This may be an instance where the phrase “water water everywhere” may not be a good thing.

Wastewater treatment plant manager Jon Mays, who works for Jacobs Engineering Group, told Fort Lupton City Council during a Feb. 9 workshop session that a valve in the city’s water treatment plant may need to be replaced. He recommended spending $28,000, and he suggested entering a contract with Velocity Plant Services in Denver.

Council couldn’t make a decision

because it was not in a regular meeting.

“The valve wasn’t painted properly when the plant was built,” Mays said. “Valves corrode. Velocity will paint these once they go in. It’ll be done right.”

The expenditure was due for a council decision Feb. 16, after press time.

“I don’t think we have many choices,” Mayor Zo Stieber said.

“Can we get the valve on its way as soon as possible?”

“Normally, it takes seven to 10 days,” Mays said. “They are a Denver company. We normally go down there and pick it up.”

Mays works for Jacobs Engineering Group, which has a contract with the city to run the wastewater

plant.

Loan discussion

The issue of the wastewater treatment plant came up during the work session. But there was no mention of a payment plan, other than Stieber’s comments that it may take 30 years or more to repay a loan.

The city has to find $37 million to make state-mandated improvements. Some of the ideas are under consideration include a sales-tax hike, joining an existing wastewater district and the city’s creation of such a district and then hiring out operations to a private contractor.

Most of the discussion Feb. 9 involved an overview of the present plant and the new one that Centennial engineering firm Barnes and

Fort Lupton Press 3

McDonnell would like to build.The balance of the talk came from engineer and Fort Lupton resident Ron Schuyler. He approved of the plans to date.

“My first problem is that operators don’t really know what they are trying to waste,” he told council. “The second problem is a high rate of flow to the tank. Microorganisms do their stuff inside, and they like to eat, to be left alone. If we have a high rate of return, we don’t leave them alone.

Overall, you did a good job.”

Schuyler also offered to talk to the engineers later on.

“Ninety-nine percent of the stuff you’ve talked about is over our heads,” said councilman Tommy Holton. “If you want to talk to them, I’m OK with that.”

City eyes increase in tap fees

BY STEVE SMITH SSMITH@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Fort Lupton city staff would like to increase tap fees in the future.

During a work session on Feb. 9, the city council got an idea of what the new fees might look like.

Councilors couldn’t decide because of the format of the meeting.

Public Works Director Roy Vestal wants to boost the ¾-inch tap fee to $7,500 per tap, increase sewer tap fees to $9,500 and adjust other

size fees accordingly. Part of the proposed increase stems from an October budget retreat in which the council and staff discussed the need to expand water and sewer plants over the next 10 years. The cost could total $63 million.

Staff comments said Fort Lupton was at the bottom of a 17-community list for such present charges.

The average among those communities is about $12,200 for water fees and $7,100 for sewer fees.

Mayor Zo Stieber asked if the

city could impose what she called a “law-enforcement impact fee.”

“We can if you want to,” said City Administrator Chris Cross. “Additional people creates additional demand,” Stieber said.

Dispatch services

In other business, the council talked about its agreement with Weld County for emergency dispatch services. The fee -- police Chief John Fryar said the cost was $58,000 -- “is still based on per call”

With new vaccine schedule, 70 and older still prioritized Eligiblity started Feb. 8 for Coloradans 65 to 69, school workers

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

More updates to Colorado’s coronavirus vaccine schedule have pushed some groups closer to the front of the line, but public health officials emphasize that Coloradans 70 and older who haven’t yet been vaccinated still have priority.

“With this additional group that’s being added, doesn’t that basically push anyone in the 70-or-older category further down the list by

Another suggested set of dates was Friday and Saturday, March 19 and 20, in the commons and the highschool gym. In that instance, each group of cohorts would attend one night.

Garcia said the student government reached out to Wholly Stromboli and Santiago’s to talk about providing food. There may be some in-school options available, too. Teachers would serve as waiters and waitresses.

Attendance would be limited to 189 people.

adding to the pool?” asked a caller from Douglas County during a live virtual town hall Feb. 4 that discussed vaccine distribution.

Meredith Brown, a school nurse liaison for Tri-County Health Department, responded that vaccine providers are still prioritizing people 70 and older — and said that’s the directive from the state.

“The state announces eligibility ahead of time to prevent lag time,” said Brown, whose health department serves Adams, Arapahoe and Douglas counties. She added: “We wouldn’t want to get done with the 70-plus group and have any time” wasted in getting to others.

Colorado’s updated vaccine schedule, as of Feb. 4, notes: “As we move The Las Vegas casino portion of the evening(s) would include blackjack and roulette tables, plus a photo booth. Re-8 board member Michelle Bettger said a local outfit agreed to provide the casino tables for both nights for the price of one.

The suggested admission price is $15 per person and $25 per couple.

“I know you want to break even,” Bettger said. “You may want to bring the price down. Prom is around the corner (April 23, and the venue the school wanted to use last year before prom was canceled won’t hold onto the deposit beyond this year). Keep the costs down so the kids don’t have to make a choice between your event and prom.”

“It would be nice to break even,”

through phases, people in previous phases remain eligible.”

Here’s a look at some questions and answers from Tri-County’s town hall and recent information from the state public-health department on who can get the vaccine and when.

More seniors, school workers up next

Coloradans ages 65 to 69 reached eligibility for the vaccine on Feb. 8, according to a governor’s office news release.

Colorado’s school workers for grades pre-K through 12 also reached eligibility Feb. 8 and should reach out to their employers to sign up for the vaccine, the news release said.

said FLHS social studies teacher and student government advisor Jason Simmers. “We could have reserve funds going into next year.”

“This will be helpful and beneficial,” said Re-8 board member Kehle Griego.

Simmers agreed.

“It’s been a tough year for our students. They’ve had a lot of disappointments with cancellations and not having prom last year,” he said.

“We were hoping the second semester would present more opportunities.

We’re seeing more students enjoying the cohorts. We approached Mr. Roedel (Jim Roedel, FLHS’ activities director) about having a homecoming dance. But with the restrictions in place, a dance is a no-go right now.”

for service.

“It’s gone up every year I’ve been here,” Fryar told councilors. “The first, I think it was $22,000.

Stieber wondered if the larger area of coverage meant more calls for service.

“It’s created more calls, but it’s not been so large we can’t handle it,” Fryar said. “We’ve had more accidents along (U.S. Highway) 85.

Otherwise, our standard call load hasn’t been impacted.”

Estate Planning for Blended Families If you’re in a blended family, you’re already aware of the emotional and financial issues involved in your daily life. But what about the future? How can you make sure your estate plans are fair to everyone involved?

It’s not easy. But you can do a lot to help the process. For starters, make sure you’re communicating your wishes clearly to everyone – children, stepchildren, current spouse, former spouse and any other family members involved.

Also, you may have to look beyond the basic task of writing a will. Given the complexities of a blended family, you may want to consider establishing a revocable living trust, which gives you greater control over how you want your assets distributed. And you may want to choose a professional trustee to administer the trust.

Above all, though, put the right estateplanning team in place. You’ll certainly need to work with an attorney, and you may also want to bring in your tax advisor and financial professional.

Estate planning can be complex – especially with a blended family – and you’ll want to make the right moves, right from the start.

SPORTS Adjustment time for new FLHS girls basketball coach

BY STEVE SMITH SSMITH@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Gabriela Jolley is starting her girls basketball coaching career at Fort Lupton High School with a very modest goal.

“I want to build morale on this team. I want the girls to fall in love with basketball,” Jolley said. “Some of the girls didn’t really enjoy it last year. They weren’t winning. There wasn’t a lot of team spirit. They were scared of doing stuff wrong.”

That’s not the only change facing Jolley. She instituted team-building programs Saturdays. She’s making the adjustment to the fact that several of her players work jobs after school.

“I told them I would be a mom and their coach,” Jolley said. “They play other sports. When I lived in Poland, you played one sport. In the U.S., there are more sports, so I have to be more lenient to let them play more

and more sports. They get better agility. It’s not going to be, `Just play basketball or you’re out.’ It’s a mental change for me, and I’m becoming more understanding.

“You have to share,” she continued.

Gabriela Jolley.

“You have to find out what they like most.”

Jolley was a personal trainer.

Friends said she was so good at that, she should become a physical education teacher (that’s her day job at nearby Butler Elementary School).

She started coaching middle school girls and boys basketball and decided

to make the jump to high-school coaching.

“I never thought I’d be doing this,” she said. “But God wanted me to accept the position.”

FLHS is winless through three games this season. Jolley was especially happy with the Bluedevils’ effort against Aurora Central.

“We worked so hard,” Jolley said.

“Zaylee (freshman Zaylee Chavez) had a knee injury. Mia (Mia Mollendor) fouled out, so we were playing with six players. We were tired, and we lost by 10. I want to build a team that wants to come back. We need a long bench so we can make the comebacks. We can’t really do it with seven players.

“When the girls came off the court, three of the players apologized,” Jolley added. “I told them, `Stop apologizing. Keep trying. Forget about the mistakes.’ If they worry about their mistakes, they’re going to play to their full potential. Everyone makes

mistakes. That’s how you learn. I told them, `As you come off, I’ll tell you what’s wrong and encourage you to try not to make the mistake again.’

Jolley knows there’s a lot of work ahead of her and for the program.

“It’ll be a couple of years before the program is where I want it to be,” she said. “It’ll take time to build a team.

If we have a big team, then competitiveness sinks in. There’s more of a pool of players that are pushing for spots on varsity. You don’t have to go with what you have.”

Jolley’s biggest surprise so far is how well her the players on her team get along. The most rewarding time for the new coach is watching “the light turns on” when something sinks in.

“That’s the cherry on top,” she said. “I can say it over and over. But when they fix it and you don’t have to say anything, it’s the highlight of my day.”

Frederick High School plunges into first year of swimming Coach pleased as young squad build bonds, creates foundation for future

BY CHRISTIAN CHACON SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA

Denyse Hudson expressed delight as the coach for Frederick High School’s first year of competitive swimming.

The inaugural season began in January and will last until the league championships in March.

“In the past, the girls have swum for Erie and worn Erie Tigers orange and black. This year, the girls get to represent Frederick High School Warriors, and that is a huge deal,” Hudson said. “Things are going well. We have six girls with competitive swim experience and six who haven’t competitively swam until last month. I am incredibly impressed with their hard work, their commitment to showing up to practice at 5:30 a.m. and their bond as a team. We have multiple chances to represent Frederick High School at state this year, both in relays and individual events.”

Like most other high-school athletic events, the spectre of COVID hangs over the program.

“We’ve taken the COVID precautions seriously and continue to be flexible with rules and regulations every step of the way. We have three more meets prior to league championships, and the girls will continue to improve and each time they hit the water,” Hudson said. “Normally, the swim season would begin in November and end in late February or early March. Due to COVID, we had a much shorter season, but we are happy to be competing. I will continue with off-season workouts, both dry land and in the pool and am working on finding clinics and camps the girls can attend to continue to develop their skills.”

The Colorado High School Activities Association and the St. Vrain Valley School District put rules in place for the so-called Season B sports season.

“We monitor the girls on a daily basis, whether it is practice or a meet, for any symptoms, including fever. They are required -- and we reinforce the requirement -- to wear a mask at all times if not swimming or preparing to dive in,” Hudson said. ”I also track the lanes they swim in on a daily basis to make sure I have proper tracing. They abide by our request on social distancing at practice and meets. My biggest request to them, outside of swimming, is making good choices

in what they do outside of swimming. We want them to know they are responsible for their own health as well as their teammates.”

Giving back

Swimming was a big part of Hudson’s life when she was growing up.

“The people involved are competitive, yet kind and supportive,” she said. ”I enjoy giving back to a program that gave me so much and teaching the next generation of young women what it means to be an athlete, a student, a team member and a strong community member.”

She said her team loves the aspect of competing against its individual members’ times and against other teams.

“But I believe the bond that they create as team members is something that is so much deeper and meaningful, especially during this time where for so long they had very little social contact,” she said.

The coach stated that she couldn’t be there without the support of Frederick High School staff, fellow coaches, administration and the Frederick High School Booster Club.

“They have been so wonderfully supportive, willing to help and answer questions whenever something comes up,” she said. “I also have to

thank the parents for getting up early every morning to make sure the girls get to the pool on time. Being a coach of a new program is difficult, but the community behind me has been overwhelmingly supportive.”

Kyla Mares has three of her team’s top times in this inaugural season. Her season best in the 50-yard freestyle is 29.2 seconds.

Her best effort in the 100- freestyle is 1:01.65. In the 100- butterfly, she turned in a time of 1:24.59. Jessica Wilkerson has top times of 2:25.32 in the 200- freestyle and 1:15.43 in the 100- backstroke. Sarah Allred has a best time of 1:35.28 in the 100breaststroke.

“I look forward to seeing what happens through the rest of this season and watching the program grow in number, strength, and depth, through the years,” Hudson said.

The simplest way to join the swim program is by emailing hudson_denyse@svvsd.org.

She would be happy to answer any questions and include them in their off-season mailing lists. The school athletic website is https://fhs-warrior.com/.

The 2021-22 school year will return to normal, beginning in November, depending on the pandemic situation.
