Rogel Lazaro Aguilera-Mederos, 26, sentenced to 110 years in prison for a deadly I-70 crash that took the lives of four people, will receive a resentencing hearing on Jan. 13.

On Dec. 27, Judge A. Bruce Jones set the resentencing hearing date.

Jones called on the defense and prosecution to file resentencing memos with the court by Jan. 10.

A written statement from King’s office said on Dec. 17 they initiated a process to set a hearing for the reconsideration of Aguilera-Mederos’ sentence. King’s office said this will not overturn the conviction supported by the evidence in this case; but allows the court greater flexibility than it had during the initial sentencing.

The case has drawn national interest and King’s office has undergone intense scrutiny in the wake of the 110-year sentence handed down by Judge A. Bruce Jones.

Colorado law required consecutive mandatory minimum sentences be served for the convictions because several of the counts were considered “crimes of violence.”

At the initial sentencing, King’s office requested Aguilera-Mederos be given the mandatory minimum for his convictions. That request was granted, but still didn’t give SEE SENTENCING, P2

Jones the legal authority to impose a lighter sentence.

King’s written statement said the impact of the accident on victims and their families was paramount.

“When my team and I spoke to the surviving victims and families of those who lost their lives about the possibility of resentencing, it was their specific desire to be heard in this process,” it said. “So, yesterday, we filed another motion requesting that the court expedite that hearing so they would have the opportunity to be heard by the presiding judge who best knows the facts of the case and the evidence presented at trial. We under-

stand and appreciate the frustration of those seeking immediate consideration and ask for patience as we take the steps allowed by law before the judge who knows this case and the community that was impacted.”

King’s office filed a motion in District Court Dec. 21 requesting modification of the AguileraMederos’ sentence pursuant to Colorado Revised Statute 18-1.3-406, for an expedited hearing. According to King’s statement, her office requested the Court set a date for the hearing to take place no later than Dec. 27.

Meanwhile, Aguilera-Mederos’ case is becoming something of a cause célèbre, attracting attention from notable social media influencers and social justice groups. Kim Kardashian spread the word about

A rally to generate support for sentencing reform and call on Polis to reduce Aguilera-Mederos’ sentence was held in front of the state capitol, Dec. 22. Speakers at the event included Leonard Martinez, Aguilera-Mederos’ new attorney.

“Rogel is humbled and appreciative of the support he is receiving from the people not only in Colorado but nationwide,” Martinez said.

“We want to thank the Governor for accepting the application for clemency and are hopeful that he will do the right thing and free Rogel. The entire legal team for Rogel will keep moving forward

State Representative Alex Valdez also spoke to the crowd of roughly 100 people.

“The Colorado Democratic Latino Caucus believes that the victims and their families deserve justice—but Mr. Aguilera-Mederos’s 110-year sentence is not justice,” Valdez said, on behalf of the Legislature’s Latino Caucus. “This tragic case reaffirms the need for a felony sentencing structure that is fair, consistent, and focused on rehabilitation, and we commit to continuing to work alongside the Polis administration to end racial disparities and ensure access to justice for all.”

State allows emissions leeway for oil-gas industry Not everyone is happy about latitude board gave operators

BY MARK JAFFE COLORADO SUN

Colorado air regulators have adopted a sweeping set of rules to slash methane emissions from oil and gas operations, including a controversial, first-in-the nation program giving industry a freer hand in determining how to cut pollution.

The “intensity program,” under which operators will have to reduce emissions by set percentages based on the amount of oil and gas they produce, was strongly supported

by the industry and opposed by environmental groups concerned it would be ineffective.

The environmental and community groups pressed for regulations to increase inspections and curb emissions from specific operations such as unloading liquids and cleaning pipelines.

The regulations were adopted on Dec. 17 by the state’s Air Quality Control Commission to help meet statutory requirements for Colorado to cut its greenhouse gas emissions from 2005 levels by 26% by 2025, 50% by 2030 and 90% by 2050.

“This definitely gets us closer to where we want to be but more needs to be done,” said Joro Walker, an attorney with the environmental group Western Resource Advocates.

Climate Change Vulnerability Is Increasingly an Issue for Homebuyers Perhaps you read these articles in last week’s YourHub. They’re reprinted here for the readers of this newspaper.

It’s not surprising, given the extreme weather we’re witnessing, including here in Colorado, that 63% of people who moved during the pandemic say that climate is or will be an issue where they now live, according to a Redfin survey of 1,000 Americans who moved since March 2020. Many of the respondents said they researched climate issues before making their move.

In another survey by ValuePenguin, more than half of Americans fear they would not be able to recover financially from a climate-induced catastrophe. An earlier Redfin survey showed that Americans between the ages of 35

and 44 were most likely to say that “natural disasters, extreme temperatures and rising sea levels” all influenced or will influence their decisions on where to move.

Here in Colorado we’ve been blessed to experience fewer and less dramatic impacts from climate change. But those impacts are knocking on our door. Consider last summer’s fire smoke, or this month’s hurricane-force winds, or our current drought.

Our water supply depends on snowpack, and rising winter temperatures result in more rain and less snow. Even though we’re east of the continental divide, we, like the Western Slope and the states west of us, are dependent on the dwindling Colorado River water, which is transported from the Western Slope to

the Front Range through tunnels.

Because we experience fewer effects of climate change, I foresee increased migration from other parts of the country, including “tornado alley,” to Colorado as their current homes experience climate change’s increasing impact.

In researching this topic, I came across a Fall 2021 white paper from SitusAMC entitled “The Burgeoning Insurance Costs for Real Estate.” It assesses the impact of increased losses from catastrophes, mostly caused by climate change.

Although the focus of the white paper is on the ability of insurers to cover increased claims and the effect of those increased claims on residential and commercial insurance rates, it also made some interesting observations about the migration of people to and from states with high insurance claims and expected future risks from climate change.

So guest what? With the sole exception of California, people are moving to states where they will be more at risk rather than less. Texas, which accounted for 40% of all insurance claims in the first half of 2021, has had the highest influx of people from other states. Florida, despite its risks, was a close second.

In recent years I’ve seen many of my sellers relocating to Florida, and it’s hard for me to understand.

So there you have it — a Redfin study that says Americans are considering climate change risks before making their move, while another study shows that more people are moving into states and areas of high risk. Could both be true?

I’m not sure what to believe now!

Colorado’s mental health system is “broken” An audit could reveal why, and what to do about it

BY JENNIFER BROWN COLORADO SUN

As state policymakers and media outlets scrutinize Colorado’s mental health system, the head of a trade group representing 17 community mental health centers is calling for an audit.

The CEO of the Colorado Behavioral Healthcare Council, which advocates for the community clinics across the state, wants an audit not just of those 17 centers but the entire behavioral health system.

“We need to make the system much more accessible and we need to break down some of these barriers,” Doyle Forrestal said.

Her request comes as community mental health centers, the safety-net system for those with Medicaid or without insurance, are at the heart of an intense conversation about Colorado’s “broken mental health system.”

They were the subject of an indepth Colorado News Collaborative reportthat revealed the centers, which receive $437 million in tax dollars per year, are treating thousands fewer patients now than before the pandemic began and that some people in dire need of care are slipping through the cracks. And the centers were the subject of a subsequent letter to Gov. Jared Polis from

|

statewide mental health advocates that asked the governor to “take action to address serious problems,” including a lack of transparency and the centers’ “failures to serve Coloradans with greatest needs.”

The letter, signed by Mental Health Colorado president Vincent Atchity and National Alliance on Mental Illness Colorado executive director Ray Merenstein, among others – called for an overhaul of the community mental health centers.

For starters, Colorado should create more transparency and accountability regarding the centers’ spending, including by requiring them to disclose to the state each time a client has to wait more than five days for an initial appointment, the advocates wrote. They also want the governor to create a standing group of policy and finance experts. And they made a related, and pointed, request: no more than one representative from the community mental health centers allowed on the panel.

“The state should be bold and truly transformational in its efforts,” they wrote. “This means standing up to powerful trade associations and ending a long-standing sense of entitlement.”

Two days after that letter, Forrestal sent her own letter to the governor asking for an audit.

What auditors would find if they look into community mental health centers, Forrestal said, is a system filled with redundant paperwork – so many reports and documents to

justify public spending that time spent on actual program improvements suffers.

The audit’s scope should extend to hospital systems, insurance companies, mental health therapists and psychiatrists in private practice, and beyond. The entire system needs review, from figuring out why medical offices and hospitals have been slow to incorporate mental health care to why therapists in private practice often don’t take insurance, she said.

The scrutiny comes as more Coloradans than ever are seeking mental health services.

“We have a bunch of people who, prior to the pandemic, were starting to feel comfortable and wanting to reach out for services,” Forrestal said in an interview. “Now, it’s blown the doors off. People want access to care. They don’t know where to go. You have struggling family members that need help and resources and we just don’t have the people to provide that care.”

Meanwhile, there’s a third letter A group representing mental health providers in private practice wrote its own letter, addressed to the legislature’s Joint Budget Committee, calling the current structure biased in favor of the community mental health clinics and against those in private practice. The state Medicaid department and the community mental health centers are a “clique that excludes the independent providers from representation and influence over policy,” including a recent 2% increase in staff wages that did not help private providers, said the group, called COMBINE. The battle waged in letters comes as a legislative task force gets closer to announcing how it will recommend spending $450 million in federal coronavirus aid tagged for Colorado’s mental health system. At the same time, Polis’ office is building a new Behavioral Health Administration, which will coordinate

mental health care and substance abuse treatment at one state agency instead of the current system, which includes 75 programs at three state agencies.

The leaders of two state agencies — the Colorado Department of Health Care Policy and Financing, which includes the Medicaid division, and the Colorado Department of Human Services, which includes the state behavioral health office — released a statement Wednesday to make clear they welcome reform.

“Even before the pandemic increased the need for behavioral health services into a crisis, we recognized the need to make significant changes to our behavioral health system in Colorado,” said the statement from Kim Bimestefer and Michelle Barnes. “We are committed to addressing the problems and gaps in the behavioral health system and to making bold changes to ensure people the mental health and substance abuse treatment and services they deserve.”

The reimbursement rates the state Medicaid department pays to individual clinicians in private practice are far lower than those paid to mental health centers.

Centers, however, say they need higher reimbursement rates than therapists in private practice in order to cover the costs of operating 24/7 crisis services, case management and community education courses.

The statewide discussion on reform comes as Colorado is suffering from a mental health workforce crisis, with 1,092 job vacancies among the 17 regional mental health centers.

COOKIES FROM PAGE 1

In her defense, she said they simply looked too good to wait.

Baking holiday cookies has always been a family tradition for Kramer. But this year, she put her family’s snickerdoodle recipe to the test at Willowbrook Place in south Jeffco.

Several residents, staff and family members joined in on the fun on Dec. 22, tasting cookies and voting for their favorites. For memory care patients like Kramer, the party is about more than just sweet treats. It’s a chance to share the company of friends, reengage and connect with each other through music, laughter and of course, cookies.

“Having dementia doesn’t diminish the joy of celebrating family traditions,” said Sarah Kressig, life engagement director for Willowbrook Place. “Holiday cookies are more than sweets; they are happy memories and will connect the residents with their loved ones.”

Beckie Halaska, Willowbrook Place’s community relations director, said events like this are important for residents in so many ways.

“It gives them a sense of dignity, judgement, involvement and brings them into the holiday spirit,” she said. “It helps us keep things active, fun and lively.”

Willowbrook Place residents taste cookies and enjoy the spirit of the season in south Jeffco.

Lakewood Dog vaccination HAPPY HOLIDAYS! and licensing event We will be open New Year’s Eve from 10am-4pm.

We will be closed New Year’s Day so that our employees can spend time with their families.

Keep your pooch well protected with a bit of prevention

BY BOB WOOLEY BWOOLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Whether you got a new puppy for Christmas or not, the City of Lakewood has you covered.

Lakewood will host a vaccination and dog license clinic from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Jan. 15 at SpayToday Healthy Pet Center, 1401 Ammons St., Lakewood.

All Jefferson County residents will be able to license their dog for a $20 fee.

Pet owners also will be able to have their dog vaccinated or microchipped. Distemper (which also protects against Hepatitis, respiratory disease, Parainfluenza and Parvo) and rabies vaccines will be available for a $15

fee. There will be a $20 charge for Bordetella and Leptospirosis vaccines. Microchipping, normally a $40 procedure, will be available for a $25 fee. Cash, Visa, Mastercard and Discover will be accepted for vaccinations.

The City’s website lists several benefits of licensing your dog, including being contacted immediately if your missing pet is found, helping to support Foothills Animal Shelter through your fees and avoiding a fine for having an unlicensed dog.

Foothills Animal Shelter administers the pet licensing program in Jefferson County.

Although many experts advise against giving puppies as Christmas gifts, if you’re hearing the pitter patter of puppy feet in mid-January, Lakewood’s event may coincide perfectly with your pet vaccination and licensing needs.

More information about licensing your pet in Lakewood can be found at Lakewood.org/DogLicenses.

GiGi’s Playhouse receives financial awards Money to help Lakewood Down syndrome achievement center expand program development.

BY BOB WOOLEY BWOOLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Nonprofit Down syndrome achievement center, GiGi’s Playhouse, has received two new grants to expand its program development. The Daniels Fund has granted $38,000, and the Buell Foundation awarded $15,000 to help the Playhouse offer individuals with Down syndrome free educational, therapeutic and career development programs from prenatal diagnosis through adulthood.

Gigi’s Playhouse is the first and only Down syndrome achievement center in Colorado. The nonprofit celebrated the grand opening of the Denver facility earlier this fall.

In a press release about the grants, Beth Jeub, board president of GiGi’s Playhouse Denver, talked about the impact the money would make.

“We are so grateful to the Daniels Fund and the Buell Foundation for recognizing the opportunity to invest in individuals with Down syndrome,” Jeub said. “This funding will help us to create an inspirational and dedicated place for loved ones to celebrate their child or friend and benefit from free, purposeful programs that unleash joy, confidence and continuous improvement.”

GiGi’s Playhouse was founded by Nancy Gianni, whose third child, GiGi, was born with Down syn-

drome.

On the nonprofit’s website, Gianni writes about GiGi’s birth and the impact it made on her as a mother.

“I cannot even begin to tell you the total fear and devastation I felt. Everything they were telling us about Down syndrome was so negative! Suddenly no one had eye contact with me anymore, they kept the door to my room closed and they kept sending in the clergy! If this was happening to us already, what was life going to be like for our kids?

I was so afraid to bring her home and start this ‘new’ life,” Gianni wrote. “I remember when people first came to visit. There were hugs of sympathy, not congratulations. They would tip toe towards the bassinet and seemed afraid to look inside to see what she would look like. Then when they finally mustered up the courage to look, they saw this beautiful little baby and they were shocked! They always exclaimed, ‘Oh my gosh! She is adorable!’ I really don’t know what they were expecting to see, but finally people started to realize she was just a baby.”

Gianni said she made a promise to her daughter that she would change the way the world looked at people with Down syndrome.

Now, with 55 locations in the U.S. and abroad, and with more than 220,000 program participation hours, GiGi’s Playhouse is well on the way to keeping that promise, accomplishing their mission of changing the way the world views Down syndrome and sending a global message of acceptance for all.

EMISSIONS FROM PAGE 3

Industry officials hailed the adoption of the intensity program and lamented some of the other provisions adopted by the AQCC. “The commission’s adoption of an emissions intensity program, the centerpiece of this rulemaking, is the first of its kind at the state level and allows operators the flexibility to reduce emissions proactively and innovatively, rather than via top-down mandates,” said Lynn Granger, executive director of API Colorado, an industry trade group.

The mandated programs, such as inspections and performance testing, will be costly, Dan Haley, CEO of the Colorado Oil and Gas Association, a trade group, said in a statement.

The Air Pollution Control Division, which drafted the rules, estimated the package of eight new regulations – which will be phased in with some going into effect next February and others not until 2023 – will cost the industry a total of $59 million to $142 million.

“Colorado cannot solve global climate change alone and certainly not by squeezing a single industry into arbitrary reduction goals for resources that Coloradans will rely on for decades to come,” Haley said.

Rules often updated since 2014 Since 2014, the oil and gas industry has been the subject of eight rounds of AQCC rulemaking aimed at cutting emissions from

pollution sources such as tanks, gas lines and control devices.

The goal of the rulemaking, commissioner Elise Jones said, “is to reduce methane emissions not vilify the oil and gas industry.”

The oil and gas industry is the third largest source of greenhouse gases in Colorado after transportation and electricity generation.

The main greenhouse gas emitted by oil and gas operations is methane, which is 30 times more potent than carbon dioxide, the prime greenhouse gas, but shorter lived in the atmosphere. The oil and gas sector is the source of 60% of all the methane emitted in the state, according to the state air pollution regulators.

Under the state’s Greenhouse Gas Pollution Reduction Roadmap, the oil and gas sector has to cut its emissions by 30% from 2005 levels by 2025 and 60% by 2030. The industry is already on track to meet its 2025 target.

To meet the 2030 goal, the APCD calculated that the industry must cut methane emissions by 140,000 metric tons a year.

The biggest share — 64,000 metric tons or 46% — would come from the heightened inspection and repair program.

How rules would work Under the new rules, wells producing more than 20 tons of oil equivalent a year (a measure of oil and gas) will be inspected monthly, as will sites near disproportionately impacted communities, such as low-income neighborhoods and operations within 1,000 feet of occupied areas.

Many other well sites will be inspected on schedules ranging from bimonthly to quarterly, but every well site in the state will be inspected at least once a year.

“There are increased protections for disproportionately impacted communities and people living near oil and gas activity and now 12,000 smaller but leak-prone wells will get inspected,” said Matt Garrington, state campaign manager for the Environmental Defense Fund, which pushed for more frequent inspections.

Targets based on production The next largest tranche of reductions – 55,000 tons or 39% – would come from the intensity program which sets an emission limit per 1,000 barrels of oil equivalent (defined as oil plus natural gas) produced. There would be a target for large operators and a less restrictive one for small operators.

The APCD added even tighter standards for emissions from wells than the large operator standard for new wells and wells operating in disproportionately impacted communities – those where at least 40% of the households are low-income, people of color, burdened by housing costs or have suffered from a history of environmental racism.

“The intensity program will really push the industry to show what they can do,” commissioner Martha Rudolph said.

Environmental and community groups, along with some local officials voiced concern that the intensity program could be manipulated and that verifying the emission inventories for each operation and the emission reductions would be difficult to do.

“It all comes down to verification and the inventories and if there is one thing, we are squirrely about, this is it,” Jones said. “This thing

will succeed or fail based on how we measure it.”

Oil and gas companies are supposed to file their intensity plans in 2022, but it will be at least another year before the standard for evaluating those plans are in place.

The Air Pollution Control Division will spend the next year working through aerial surveys of emissions it conducted this summer and working with stakeholder groups to develop the best data for showing the emission reductions are being met, Robyn Wille, the division’s chief strategy officer, said in an interview.

The division is scheduled to submit a reporting and verification rule proposal to the AQCC in 2023.

“We are aiming for transparency and accuracy,” Wille said.

The third largest reduction is slated to come from rules to limit emissions from pigging and blowdown operations, techniques for cleaning and maintaining pipelines. The reductions are estimated to equal 9,600 metric tons a year or 7% of the total required decrease in emissions for the sector.

The rules apply statewide.

Jeffco Schools report on fall test results Academic achievement was better than last year, but still lags pre-pandemic levels

BY BOB WOOLEY BWOOLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

During the Dec. 15 Jeffco Schools Board of Education study session, results of district test scores for the fall semester were presented to the board by District staff. Acadience, MAP (Measure of Academic Progress) and Social, Emotional and Behavioral (SEB) Screener results were discussed.

This article will cover the academic results. SEB Screener results will be the topic of future reporting. Data in this reporting is drawn from the District’s presentation.

Carol Eaton, executive director of Instructional Data Services, and Justin Houck, director of Instructional Assessment, started things off with the academic parts of the presentation. Eaton said the district has seen somewhat of a rebound from last year’s results, tempered by the fact that scores are not yet back to prepandemic levels. Houck said achievement gaps within student groups persist, and the District is continuing to monitor what it knows about them and attempting to address them at the school and system level.

MAP and Acadience test admin-

istration is still not back to normal.

Some students still tested remotely, but fewer than in Fall in 2020. MAP participation was higher than last year, but agin, not black to pre-pandemic levels.

Acadience is a K-3 skills-based reading assessment, administered three times per year. The District uses four performance levels: Well Below Benchmark, Below Benchmark, At Benchmark and Above Benchmark to determine student performance.

The Well Below Benchmark category, indicates a student has 10% - 20% likelihood of achieving subsequent early literacy goals and will likely need intensive support. Below Benchmark indicates 40%-60% likelihood of achieving subsequent early literacy goals and will likely need strategic support. At Benchmark indicates 70%-85% likelihood of achieving subsequent early literacy goals and will likely need core support.

Above Benchmark indicates 90%-99% likelihood of achieving subsequent early literacy goals and will likely need more advanced skills in addition to core support.

Acadience Results The Fall 2021 Beginning-of-Year performance trend for grades K-3 combined show an overall increase in scores compared to last year, but still lagging behind 2019, pre-pandemic results.

For example, scores in the Well Below Benchmark category were at 23% — that’s down from last year’s 28%, but still four percentage points below the 19% from 2019.

When added together, 65% of students scored in the At Benchmark and Above Benchmark categories in Fall 2021, compared to 58% last year.

In 2019, 69% of students who took the test scored in those two categories.

Broken down by grade, the biggest improvement in achievement, compared to last year came from Grade 1, with Above Benchmark scores increasing from 26% last year to 41% this year. Well Below Benchmark scores fell from 42% in Fall 2020 to 29% this year. However, this year’s Well Below Benchmark scores are still 7% higher than 2019 numbers.

Overall, 20,052 students (98% of those eligible) took the Acadience tests.

According to the presentation performance gaps still exist among gender, students with disabilities and English language learners.

MAP MAP is an adaptive reading and math test given three times per year. The reading test is given to all students grades 3-10. Math is given to grades 3-8 and all high school students taking algebra 1, geometry or an equivalent course. There are five performance levels — High; High Average; Average; Low Average and Low, used in scoring. MAP looks at how Jeffco students score compared to other students across the nation.

Fall 2021 MAP Reading results for elementary students saw 50% of students score in the High and High Average levels, with 19% scoring at the Average level. A combined 30% of students scored at the Low Average

and Low levels.

Math scores were lower with 39% of students scoring at the High and High Average levels, 22% at Average and a combined 40% scoring at the Low Average and Low levels.

Middle school students had reading scores of 50% at the High and High Average levels, 21% at Average and roughly 30% of students scoring at the Low Average and Low levels.

Middle School Math scores (like elementary results) were lower on average than reading scores, with 40% at High and High Average level, 22% Average and 39% at Low Average and Low levels.

Eight years ago, Colorado repurposed an old Army fort surrounded by farm fields into a homeless recovery center, a peaceful campus on the plains, far from the gritty streets where its residents previously slept.

More than 1,700 people have lived at Fort Lyon, about three hours from Denver in Las Animas, and about half of them left with housing.

Now, as Denver and its suburbs are dotted with tents and parks have been shut down to clean up trash, plans are in the works for two more recovery campuses — both much closer to the epicenter of Colorado’s homelessness crisis. Gov. Jared Polis has tagged $45 million in his budget request to turn a former, now-empty youth corrections facility in the mostly vacant fields not far from Denver International Airport into a site that could house up to 350 people.

The second recovery campus is planned for a to-be-determined location in the Denver area — whether that’s in the city proper or one of the suburbs is unknown. And judging by the “not-in-my-backyard” fights over Denver’s sanctioned tent camps during the last year, the metro area will at some point in the near future begin arguing over which neighborhood or suburb should host the project.

For now, though, talks are in the works about what the recovery campus should include and a wish list is beginning to take shape: an all-encompassing residential center where people could receive medical detox, addiction treatment, job training and peer mentorship from folks who’ve experienced addiction and homelessness. Ideally, residents could stay as many months as they needed — up to two years even — and walk out with enough stability to work and pay rent.

The governor has asked for $50 million for the Denver-area project, which, like the Adams-Arapahoe county campus, would be funded from one-time federal coronavirus aid in the American Rescue Plan.

The plan is to have Denver’s Department of Housing Stability collaborate with various other city and county agencies and nonprofits.

“This is exactly what our community is crying out for us to address,” said Britta Fisher, who heads the city’s Department of Housing Stability.

The key to getting people off the streets and into treatment is having space ready at the moment they’re ready to accept it — not two weeks later, or after telling them they need to visit multiple government offices to obtain a valid ID, she said.

“If you’ve come to that decision, in that golden hour where you’ve decided ‘I need to do something about my addiction or about my mental health,’ and then you face a daunting gantlet to get services, … it’s very easy to see that one more barrier can set somebody back to say, ‘Ugh, I can’t do this right now,’” she said.

Opioid crisis plays role Fisher points to the opioid crisis and the skyrocketing deaths from counterfeit opioid pills laced with fentanyl, a synthetic opioid that has caused 624 deaths in Colorado so far this year. While about 1% of Denver residents are homeless, 17% of overdoses last year were among people who are homeless. In 2020, 370 people in Denver died of drug overdoses and this year’s deaths are on track to climb even higher.

The Denver area lacks enough medical detox options, as well as residential programs for people who need treatment and lack insurance or are on Medicaid. Right now, those who can get beds typically are allowed to stay for about 14 days, which is not nearly enough time to stabilize after potentially years of living on the streets, Fisher said. And out-patient programs that send people back to their tent or a shelter at night do not work, she said.

“You can’t go home to the street and think that is going to be a great environment to support sobriety,” Fisher said.

The homelessness and drug crisis is so huge that Fisher suspects Colorado would have no trouble filling up two new recovery campuses in addition to Fort Lyon. “At this point, we are in such a crisis that I think we need a lot of beds,” she said. “We need more beds, more infrastructure, more staffing to help with what we are facing as a community.”

As for where this new center would go, Fisher said she’s still focused on the model and not the location. It’s possible, she said, that instead of one large campus, the recovery center ends up split among two or three locations – one with medical detox, another with job training, etc. She wants to hear ideas from the suburbs.

“There are lots of regional partners here and they may have opportunities that they may want to bring forward and say, ‘We think this place could make sense for this and here’s how and where,’” Fisher said. “I don’t think this is a Denver-only or even a Denver-led. I think this is really about the region coming together. It’s not anything any one city can necessarily pull off on their own. There are folks in every community that need these types of services.”

“Each county needs to contribute” Jefferson County, which has no homeless shelter, is working to stand up two “housing navigation” centers that would include shelter beds as well as permanent housing. Kelli Barker, who coordinates services for the homeless in JeffCo, is already facing a host of questions about where those navigation centers will go — and trying to balance the NIMBY sentiment with selecting neighborhoods that would qualify the projects for tax credits.

“I have no easy solution,” she said.

“Community engagement is really important for any site. It’s an urgent public need and ultimately it has to go somewhere.”

Barker wholeheartedly supports a homeless recovery campus for Denver and its suburbs. “This would be so huge for the metro area,” she said.

“Each county needs to contribute to the solution.”

VOICES

Sometimes goals fall short, and that’s OK

M

y lovely wife is a manager of people—both by vocation and, in large part, by disposition. And, accordingly, she’s been spending a great deal of time over the last couple weeks doing the dreaded “year-end evaluation” process with her people.

Predictably, I received a “Does not consistently meet expectations.” But that’s another story for another day…

Of course, this process is nothing new.

Anybody out there in human resources has, no doubt, gone through much the same process recently. Heck, even back when I still had a regular job, I always went through a year-end evaluation. Of course, as a music teacher, these usually came in May, the people doing the evaluations rarely understood what I did, and, once I earned “tenure” (sometime back in the Clinton administration), those evaluations rarely counted for much. But, still, …

As I look back at my 2021, I realize that there are some goals I set for myself that I achieved, some I set that I failed at and some I set that were ridiculous to think about in the first place.

For instance, I had hoped that I would have finished my next book this year. The only reason I really set out to make that a goal for this year was that, by coincidence, I finished my last book at the end of 2020, and it just seemed like a year was

plenty of time to get the next idea out of my head and onto paper. But, of course, the creative process scoffs at timelines, and it turns out that having a single idea but trying to manipulate it three different ways doesn’t actually lead to an “end of process” efficiently. But still, I probably have about three-fourths of the story laid out, so it was far from a wasted year.

Is that a fail? I don’t think so. One of the things I think we should have learned from 2020 and 2021 is that sometimes plans/hopes/goals fall short due to things entirely beyond our control, and sometimes they fall short because our original thoughts were, it turns out, too ambitious. My school teacher friends are dealing with an ancillary of this right now. They started school in the Fall with high hopes that the only serious problem they’d be dealing with was severe learning loss; it turns out, they’re having trouble getting to the point of addressing that at all right now, because a big part of what they’re dealing with is mental health issues and, frankly, exhaustion.

I think one of the hopes and goals we all had for ourselves at this time last year was that the new vaccines would put an end to the chaos of COVID. But, since then, we’ve had one devastating wave cut through us, and we’re on the cusp of another wave right now. And if you’re inclined to turn your nose up and blame

“those extremist anti-vaxxers,” I would just remind you that the National Hockey Association has about a 97% vaccination rate, and they just shut down business for two weeks, and have cancelled their players’ participation in the Olympics.

In other words, I think many of us take this week and look back at the year that was, and give ourselves a mental report card. This year, I would just encourage you to separate, in your mind, the things you had control over from the things you had little control over, and grant yourself a little grace.

And for those of you inclined to make New Year’s resolutions coming off those evaluations, try to insert in your thinking a little flexibility. As my wife calls them on her evaluations, your “growth opportunities” may not be exactly where you expect them to be. Until “the New Normal” actually stabilizes, maybe just staying on your feet is actually a pretty good starting point for next year.

Happy New Year, Everyone!

Tread lightly on additional police reform GUEST COLUMN

B

ut for the unprecedented recess because of the pandemic, the Colorado General Assembly would have adjourned before George Floyd was murdered in 2020. With the legislature back in session as public reaction to seeing Floyd die as Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin knelt on his neck created calls for action, Colorado passed a wide-reaching police reform bill. It included several things that had failed earlier in the session.

When the legislature came back in 2021, additional reforms were added despite concerns raised by law enforcement officials that not enough time had passed for the impact of the 2020 bill to be fully understood. As we continue to assess the implications of changes from both 2020 and 2021, reform minded legislators will continue the push for more changes when the General Assembly reconvenes January 12.

One thing that we do know is that criminal activity has increased dramatically since these changes have been made to

Colorado law. As crime rates are up all over the country, it would be simplistic and wrong to blame the bills’ passage for the increase of crime in our state. But it would be just as wrong to ignore the fact that crime has increased during a time when legislative action has made fundamental changes to how law enforcement personnel do their jobs on a day-to-day basis.

As legislators prepare to consider additional changes to public policy about criminal justice, it’s time to focus more on understanding what is happening and less on continuing to pass policies that make it less likely that people accused of crimes will be incarcerated and that tie the hands of law enforcement officers.

As with all difficult policy questions, there are many competing interests in these discussions and reasonable people can and do disagree. There is no doubt that there are examples of police misconduct that cannot be tolerated and holding officers responsible for their actions is both necessary and appropriate. Simi-

larly, there is no excuse for police treating people differently based on race or other inappropriate criteria. On the other hand, when people do bad things and violate the law, there must be real consequences for those actions, or they will continue to victimize the rest of us and violate the law. Before the legislature passed the 2021 bills, there was compelling testimony by businesses that said their premises had been repeatedly violated by the same people who were arrested and released multiple times.

Criminal justice reform will continue to be a high-profile issue at the General Assembly In 2022, Coloradans will be better served if we take a step back to fully understand the implications of the changes made in the last two years and the reasons for increased criminal activity before additional changes are made.

Dazzle celebrates 25 years of jazz

J

azz is one of America’s quintessential creations — one that continues to influence and inspire, even for people who may not consider themselves fans of the genre. Dazzle, Denver’s jazz nightclub, has been one of the key places keeping the artform on stage in the Mile High City for the last quarter-century. And it’s kicking off 2022 with a multi-evening birthday celebration, marking 25 years of operation.

“We have a dedication to good music and people know whenever they come to Dazzle, the music will be phenomenal,” said Kelley Dawkins, marketing director with Dazzle, 1512 Curtis St. “With our menu, we’re a great way to have a fun, high energy night out without you having to put a lot of energy into it. And we’ve done such a great job building a local following that nourishes the love of jazz.”

The first performance of the birthday celebration will be Convergence featuring Roberta Gambarini at 6:30 p.m. on Jan. 7 and 8. Rico Jones and Max Light will be featured in the 9:30 p.m. show on Jan. 7. The 9:30 p.m. performance on Jan. 8 is called “Dazzle Mixtape” and will feature violinist and 2018 Grammy-nominee Sara Caswell, saxophonist Anisha Rush, trombonist Mark Patterson, pianist Jacquelyn Schreiber, bassist Gabe Rupe and drummer Colin Stranahan. The final show will be at 6 p.m. on Sunday, Jan. 9 and is Patterson’s “Group Stories” featuring Dale Bruning and Caswell.

According to provided information, Dazzle began in 1997 at 930 Lincoln St. before moving to its current location. Like every other live venue, it struggled during the pandemic, but Dazzle strove to make things a bit easier for musicians. That led them to participate in their Bread & Jam program, “a

weekly VIP jam session where musicians can rekindle old musical relationships and find new ones.”

They also get a hot meal out of the deal.

“We wanted to reexamine how we fit in the greater musiClarke Reader cal community in Denver because we want everybody to win,” Dawkins said. “We’re doing our best to support musicians in any way we can.”

While jazz may not be the most popular genre, it still elicits passion from fans of all ages. And Dazzle aims to remain there for musicians to share their love of the form.

“Traditional jazz often appeals to an older crowd, and while there’s definitely still an audience for that music, it’s nice to see the different ways jazz is evolving. There are so many blurred lines between genres, meaning it’s very easy to slide from jazz to R&B and pop,” Dawkins said. “Dazzle has always loved being the small club in the middle of Denver where you can hear amazing national and international acts and great local music. But now we’re moving to the place for the best local music, with occasional national and international acts stopping in.”

The rebuilding of the public health agency structure in a wide swath of the Denver metro area appears likely to result in Adams, Arapahoe and Douglas counties all having the independence to make their own decisions on public health orders and how to provide health services for residents.

In an era when the Tri-County Health Department’s name elicits intense backlash among some county residents, there could be political benefits to each county formally separating from the agency

Last year he released “Music City USA,” — not only his best but one of the best releases of the entire year.

Even still, separating from TriCounty Health isn’t an outcome Arapahoe County was sprinting into.

Arapahoe was the last of the three counties to formally provide notice that it will separate from Tri-County, a decision that will take effect at the end of 2022. The Arapahoe County Board of Commissioners — the county’s elected leaders — voted to take the action in a Dec. 14 resolution.

Despite the vocal opposition to TriCounty’s mask mandates in recent months, anti-mask sentiment didn’t influence Arapahoe County’s decision to pull out, according to Nancy Jackson, an Arapahoe County commissioner.

IS COLORADO HOME TO AN

LIFE

ANCIENT

ASTRONOMICAL OBSERVATORY? The question is testing archaeological limits

BY DAVID GILBERT COLORADO SUN

n the winter solstice in 1997, Greg Munson stood beside an unusual basin pecked into the stone along the exit trail to Cliff Palace, grandest of the cliff dwellings in southwestern Colorado’s Mesa Verde National Park.

As the sun set on the shortest day of the year, Munson, a former Mesa Verde park ranger and researcher, watched as the sun appeared to plunge into Sun Temple, an enigmatic structure perched on a promontory atop Chapin Mesa across the canyon from his vantage point.

“It was amazing to think that maybe I was the first western person to see this event in nearly 800 years and recognize it for what it was,” Munson said.

Munson and his colleagues may have been looking at one of the most advanced astronomical observatories in the ancient world, according to recent studies by data scientist Sherry Towers.

Researchers have long theorized that Sun Temple contains solar, lunar and

astronomical alignments in its placement and architecture, and Towers’ research suggests it could be far more complex than previously believed. But unraveling Sun Temple’s mysteries is made more difficult by the troubled history between researchers and the descendants of the people who built it.

Towers’ research uses computer modeling to theorize that Sun Temple is shot through with sight lines pointing not just to the rise and set of the sun at crucial dates, such as equinoxes and solstices, but to lunar cycles and an array of major stars that figure into Pueblo cosmology that may have its origins among the Ancestral Puebloans.

Towers has also further developed theories that Sun Temple’s construction incorporates advanced geometry, including a standard unit of measurement, and walls built to the proportions of the golden rectangle and Pythagorean 3:4:5 triangles.

“It’s sheer genius,” Towers said of Sun Temple’s construction. “The architect did this with no known writing or numerical system, no computers.

‘Some feel we shouldn’t be preserving these sites, that we should allow them to decay as Mother Nature intended. But that’s contrary to our policy to preserve these places for future generations.’

Elizabeth Dickey, Mesa Verde National Park’s head of cultural resources They laid it out with yucca cords and sticks. They were the Michaelangelo of their time.”

Mesa Verde National Park, established in 1906, features some of the most well-preserved Ancestral Puebloan sites in the Southwest. More than 22,000 people may have lived on and around Mesa Verde at the beginning of the 1200s.

But by the beginning of the 1300s, the area was depopulated, likely as a result of

a prolonged drought or other social pressures.

The inhabitants largely resettled in Arizona and the Rio Grande Valley of New Mexico, where their descendants live today as the Pueblo and Hopi people.

(The park’s former inhabitants were once called the Anasazi, though the term – which is commonly cited as meaning “ancient enemy” in the Diné language – is considered derogatory

by Pueblo people and has

fallen out of use).

Mesa Verde’s crown jewels are its cliff dwellings, sprawling structures built in alcoves beneath the mesa tops, with likely uses including habitation, food storage, ceremony and ritual. More than 600 cliff dwellings are scattered throughout the park, though they represent just a fraction of the more than 5,000 known archeological SEE MESA VERDE, P15

sites within park boundaries.

Amid this archaeological treasure trove, Sun Temple stands out.

Built nearly 800 years ago by the Ancestral Puebloans, Sun Temple shows no signs of habitation – no hearths, no food storage, no trash middens. The D-shaped 122-foot-by64-foot structure encloses several roofless circular rooms. They do not appear to be kivas, the subterranean rooms used for ceremonies and rituals. Nor were they tall enough to be watchtowers.

“We know it’s monumental public architecture,” said Elizabeth Dickey, Mesa Verde National Park’s head of cultural resources. “But how was it used? That we can’t say.”

Finding alignments Towers’ work follows earlier hypotheses about the site’s astronomical alignments, dating to the earliest modern researchers. Sun Temple was first excavated by J.W. Fewkes, a pioneering archaeologist and ethnographer who worked in the park in the early 20th century – and gave Sun Temple its modern name. Fewkes theorized that Sun Temple’s south wall was aligned to the summer solstice sunrise, though later investigation found the wall is off from the sunrise by several degrees.

Nevertheless, in the decades that followed, researchers built on Fewkes’ theories, owing in part to Sun Temple’s commanding view of the surrounding landscape, and growing awareness of the Ancestral Puebloans’ knowledge of astronomy.

Munson, who along with other researchers surveyed Sun Temple in the 1990s and 2000s, studied the alignment between the winter solstice sunset and the pecked basin at Cliff Palace across the canyon.

Towers, who built on work by Munson, Kim Malville and Dr. Jonathon Reyman, said her research brings a new data-driven, analytical approach that has been lacking in archeoastronomy — the study of how ancient people observed the heavens.

“You can find alignments in almost any building if you go looking for them,” Towers said.

To check her work, Towers created a computer model of Sun Temple, then rotated it in more than 200 configurations. She said only in its real-world positioning does Sun Temple most closely match the alignments of major stars in the mid-13th century, when Sun Temple is believed to have been built.

As her research has broadened, Towers said she believes many sites around Sun Temple may hold more astronomical alignments. From a boulder covered in ancient carvings at nearby Balcony House, Towers says the winter solstice sunrise would appear to emerge from the vertex of an L-shape formed by a cliff face and the top of Chapin Mesa across the canyon, though she has not yet had a chance to observe the phenomenon in person.

Towers acknowledges that while her research is intriguing, she has had little discourse with Pueblo and Hopi people about it.

“These places are considered sacred, and there’s a lot of trust that needs to be built to achieve that relationship,” said Towers, who is working for the Institute for Advanced Sustainability Studies in Germany. “I wish I lived in Colorado so I was in a position to work on that. Would Pueblo people see value in the work I do? Maybe, maybe not.”

Living, breathing places Observing the movement of the heavens has been important to Pueblo and Hopi people throughout their known history, said Phillip Tuwaletstiwa, a Hopi geodesist.

“There were very precise ways of tracking the sun,” Tuwaletstiwa said. “The job fell to a man our people called the Sun-Watcher, who observed the solar journey.”

Observing the sun was important timekeeping for both agricultural and ceremonial functions, he said, calling the solstices – the longest and shortest days of the year – important dividing lines.

“The sun actually appears to stand still for a few days on either side of the solstice,” he said.

“Pinpointing the exact day can be tricky. In our communities, on the winter solstice, we worry. If we aren’t walking the proper path, following the Hopi way, will the sun leave its winter house? It’s a period of apprehension. When it moves after a day or two, there’s a sigh of relief.”

Observing the movements of the sun and moon demonstrate a fundamental Hopi belief in the dualities of existence, Tuwaletstiwa said.

“Shadow and light, birth and death, sun and moon,” he said.

“The sun is predictable, steady.

It comes up every day, and if you watch its movements for a year, you’ve nailed it. The moon is nothing like that. It appears and disappears, and its full cycle across the sky, what’s called the lunar maximum and minimum, takes years to observe. The opposites in nature help balance each other.”

Tuwaletstiwa, as a geodetic surveyor, helped measure the orientation of ancient buildings in Chaco Canyon, a major Ancestral Puebloan cultural center in northwestern New Mexico. His measurements helped form the underpinning of research hypothesizing that Chacoan buildings were also built around numerous astronomical alignments.

He hasn’t made up his mind on Towers’ theories, saying the SunWatcher system was so effective without advanced architecture that he believes sites like Sun Temple — or the Sun Spiral, an apparent astronomical observatory on Fajada Butte in Chaco Canyon — may have been places for communities to collectively celebrate solar and lunar cycles rather than to strictly measure points on the calendar, such as the winter solstice on Dec. 21 this year.

The cyclical nature of time speaks to a mindset Tuwaletstiwa wishes modern researchers could better grasp: that to Pueblo and Hopi people, places like Mesa Verde are not abandoned.

“We don’t like that word, abandoned,” he said. “We don’t think in terms of the time between events. We have migrated many

times. We didn’t vanish. We were many places before Mesa Verde, and many places after. I visited the veterans’ cemeteries in Normandy, and I treated them with respect and gratitude. In Chaco and Mesa Verde, those are my ancestral people. I need to treat them with respect as well. To us, these are living, breathing places.”

Tuwaletstiwa said it’s difficult to conclusively speak to the connection between modern Hopi and Pueblo astronomical observances and those of the Ancestral Puebloans, because there are dozens of beliefs and customs among different clans and groups.

And yet, between the analytical nature of archaeology and the intimate nature of Indigenous heritage and spirituality, Tulawetstiwa sees another complementary duality.

“When we talk about Mesa Verde, tree ring studies, carbon dating and DNA are one side, and the stories and spirits of Native people are on another side,” he said. “They can inform each other.

I don’t see them as in conflict.”

Drawing archaeology and ethnography closer together is an essential task to understanding places like Sun Temple, said Munson, the researcher whose studies helped inform Towers’ work.

“The architecture, the way things were built, that’s the ‘how,’” Munson said. “The ethnography, the people, that’s the ‘why.’ Without the why, there’s now how.”

Munson founded the Society for Cultural Astronomy in the American Southwest, or SCAAS, an organization that invites Indigenous scholars to participate in archeoastronomy research. The group is also raising funds to preserve and digitize Fewkes’ work, which includes significant ethnographic resources recorded at the tail end of the 19th century.

Repairing damaged trust Though the distance between archaeologists and the descendants of Ancestral Puebloans is narrowing, generations of strife can take time to overcome, said Tim Hovezak, the former head of cultural resources at Mesa Verde.

“To say there’s damaged trust is putting it mildly,” he said. “There’s been a long history of exploitation of people who were at the time powerless to do anything about damage to their cultural heritage.”

Though the cliff dwellings of

Mesa Verde were known to the Pueblo, Hopi, Ute, Diné and other Native people for centuries, they were largely left alone. But white settlers in the late 1800s began pillaging the sites almost as soon as they discovered them, knocking down walls and hauling off wagonloads of artifacts to sell to collectors. Some early archaeologists exhumed human remains, shipping them to far-flung museums.

“Some of us are actively working to restore trust,” Hovezak said.

“We’re trying to be more cognizant of Native views, and the Pueblos are becoming more proactive on their own behalf.”

Several Pueblo groups either declined to comment for this story or did not respond to requests for comment.

Some differences will likely remain, said Dickey, the park’s current head of cultural resources.

“We listen closely to descendant groups, but we can’t always enact their wishes,” Dickey said. “Some feel we shouldn’t be preserving these sites, that we should allow them to decay as Mother Nature intended. But that’s contrary to our policy to preserve these places for future generations.”

Early attempts at stabilizing sites were haphazard. Fewkes poured Portland cement atop Sun Temple’s walls, a practice that would “leave us aghast today,” Dickey said.

Dickey said the Parks Service takes a “light hand” with preservation, employing stonemasons who specialize in ancient-style stone cutting and mortar mixing.

Deciphering the mystery of Sun Temple may continue to prove elusive, Dickey said.

“A lot of the tribal members we consult with will tell us they know what these places were used for, what they mean,” Dickey said. “But they say it’s not for us to know.

These are private, sacred things.

Our insatiable curiosity is disrespectful to them. As scientists, we want to know everything. We want to dig until we find the answers.

But sometimes, we have to learn to let go.”

the chair of the board. “I get it that masks are very controversial, and that actually had nothing to do with it.”

An Arapahoe County spokesperson in early September said a separation by Arapahoe wouldn’t be driven by any policy disagreement with the health agency. Douglas County’s exit of Tri-County Health would potentially create financial or budgetary problems for the other two counties, the spokesperson added.

What’s more, officials say Arapahoe essentially had no choice but to exit Tri-County given the separations by its partner counties. That’s because Tri-County’s status as what’s known as a “district health department” — one made up of multiple counties — was at odds with Douglas’ exit and Adams’ upcoming departure.

“There’s certain rules and so on that guide a district, and since two of the three counties have pulled out, we are no longer a district, so we had no choice,” Jackson said.

It might have been plausible to maintain the structure if Adams County had wanted to continue — with some appropriate adjustments, said Luc Hatlestad, spokesperson for Arapahoe County.

“But once that was no longer an option, we began focusing on a single-county model. Tuesday’s resolution was a step in that process,” Hatlestad said.

‘Saddened’ at the fracture In Adams, the county commissioners brought forward a resolution at an Oct. 26 meeting to provide notice of Adams’ decision to leave TriCounty. The vote was unanimous, according to Adams County Commissioner Emma Pinter. Adams plans to withdraw from Tri-County Health at the end of 2022.

Arapahoe has appeared less keen to cut ties with the health agency, saying in an October statement: “The Arapahoe County Board of Commissioners is saddened that our neighboring counties have chosen to end the productive 55-year partnership with the Tri-County Health Department.”

Arapahoe’s resolution notes that under Colorado state law, a county has the power to withdraw from a district public health agency by adopting a resolution and providing

at least one year’s notice. Arapahoe came close to the deadline, given the situation with the other counties.

The series of withdrawals began with the Douglas County commissioners, who decided to immediately leave the health agency in September after months of disagreements over COVID-19 protection measures.

Douglas County formed its own health department and that new board decided to continue contracting most public health services from Tri-County until at least the end of next year.

Tri-County Health has served its residents by providing no-cost cancer screenings, overdose prevention, free nurse visits, restaurant and child care facility inspections, and other services, according to an Arapahoe news release.

The path forward for the counties in a post-partnership world involves

confronting the question of how to reorganize their health services structure, potentially contending with increased costs.

“In the short term, separate, single county public health agencies would have access to less public health revenue, and perhaps services, and would incur transition costs for start-up and (the) dissolution of TCHD,” an Oct. 12 report by the Otowi Group says. That’s a consulting firm that has studied the benefits and drawbacks of the counties’ potential decisions to handle public health services alone.

The report was considering a scenario where Tri-County Health dissolves, but it’s possible the agency could continue in some form.

Although the three counties appear on track to end up with three separate boards of health — the policymaking bodies that oversee local health departments — one or more of them may continue receiving health services from Tri-County, even after 2022.

The text of Arapahoe County’s resolution says: “One of the options being considered includes continuing the Tri-County Health Department as a legal entity in some form other than a multi-county district public health agency …. so that it may continue to exist and continue to provide public health services to one or more counties after December 31, 2022.”

Impressive first quarter leads to Arvada West win

BY DENNIS PLEUSS JEFFCO PUBLIC SCHOOLS

ARVADA— It was a quarter that Arvada West’s boys basketball team would like to repeat as many times as possible.

The Wildcats grabbed a commanding 26-5 lead over Denver North after the first eight minutes Dec. 17 at Arvada West High School. The quick start eventually led to a 62-29 victory for the Wildcats (3-3 record).

“We had really good energy and communicated really well,”A-West junior Carson Nichols said of the first quarter. “We came out of the gate with a lot of fast-break layups.

Zion hit two 3-pointers. Everything was going good for us.”

A-West junior Zion Thomas was unstoppable early pouring in all of his 12 points for the game in the first quarter. Junior Jasper Padia added 14 points while Nichols scored a game-high 18 points for the Wildcats.

“We you let the game come to you and you aren’t forcing things the five guys on the court all get involved,” Parriott said. “Our team is going to have to have production from Zion, Jasper and Carson. They have to produce for us to give us a chance to beat good teams.”

Denver North (6-4) was led by sophomore Jacob Giron’s 13 points.

The Vikings have won four of their last six games. Denver North doesn’t return to the court until after Winter Break.

LITTLETON — Chatfield got a much-needed win Dec. 21, heading into its Winter break.

The Chargers ended a 4-game losing streak with a solid 49-33 victory over previously undefeated Green Mountain it what was a throwback to what used to be one of the best boys basketball rivalries in Jeffco during the late-1990s and early-2000s.

“This is huge. This is a gamechanger,” Chatfield junior Shay Rumsey said after he scored a gamehigh 14 points. “We were heading downhill. We just had to work together. I think we finally found it tonight.”

The Chargers (4-5 record) definitely discovered their capability on defense. Chatfield held Green Mountain (4-1) to just 13 points in the second half after holding a slim 23-20 halftime lead.

“That is credit to (Chatfield),” Green Mountain coach Mike Puccio said of the Rams being held to a season-low 33 points. “They took us out of everything we wanted to do.

We had good looks at times. Looking at the stats, we shot 25 percent.

You do that and you aren’t beating anybody in the league (Class 4A Jeffco).”

Coming into Tuesday’s 4A Jeffco versus 5A Jeffco showdown the Rams and Chargers were on opposite sides of the spectrum when it came to close games.

Green Mountain — ranked No. 7 in the CHSAANow.com 4A boys basketball poll — had won its previous three wins by a total of 14 points.

On the other hand, Chatfield had lost its last three games by a total of 10 points.

“We finally got a full week of practice with all of our guys,” Chatfield coach Erik Buehler said. “We were on the same page defensively.

I knew with this group they could defend like that. Those kids are really tough defensively and that should be our calling card moving forward.”

Seniors Cooper Francy and Luke Davis had 12 points each to lead the Rams.

The Rams have one final game before Winter break. Green Mountain heads downtown to Ball Arena to face Fredrick. The Warriors were sitting just outside the top-10 rankings in 4A this week.

“It’s a learning experience,” Puccio said. “Credit again to Chatfield. We didn’t lose it. They took us out what we wanted to do.”

Rumsey and senior Marquis Jones (11 points) led the Chargers offensively. Chatfield did have an issue at the free-throw line.

Buehler admitted he “couldn’t watch” at times as the Chargers finished the night 8-for-24 (33.3 percent) from the charity stripe.

“That is something we’ll be working on,” Rumsey said of baker’s dozen of missed free throws in the second half. “We just weren’t locked in when we went to the free-throw line. We need to change our mindset.”

Chatfield returns to action with home games against Erie (Jan. 5) and rival Columbine (Jan. 7) in a non-league game at the start of the New Year.

“I told the guys we’ve had one of the harder schedules in 5A during the preseason. It’s to get ready for 5A Jeffco,” Buehler said. “Hopefully we can springboard off of it.”

-Wildcats hit the road to face Lakewood at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 21.

“It would be nice having some confidence going into break having won three in a row,”Parriott said.“I think it’s a big game. It’s the next game so that makes it big too.”

The Wildcats had back-to-back losses last week to start the Fairview Tournament in Boulder. AWest lost in the first round against Denver East and then suffered a 23-point loss to area-rival Ralston Valley in the consolation bracket.

Parriott believes his team has learned a lot from the 61-38 loss to rival Ralston Valley in the Fairview Tournament back on Dec. 8.

“Hopefully we are better for it,” Parriott said after back-to-back

wins following the loss.“We’ll find out soon. We’ll play them again and other teams that are physical and tough. Hopefully we learned a lot.”

There doesn’t appear to be a juggernaut in the 5A Jeffco League this season. Ralston Valley (6-3) is the hottest team in the conference coming off winning the Ralston Roundup Tournament title Friday night with a 2-point victory over Doherty. It was the fifth straight win for the Mustangs.

“I really think we could be up there,” Nichols said of the 5A Jeffco League. “We have a chance to compete and be up there with the best in Jeffco. We have a lot of work to do, but I believe we have the energy and depth.”

during the coronavirus pandemic, announcing plans in July 2020 to begin the process of withdrawing from the health agency after its decision to require mask wearing in public.

Some of Adams County’s leaders felt frustration with Tri-County’s recent policymaking, too: Some commissioners voted to opt out of the health agency’s school mask order this August before Tri-County removed the ability of counties to opt out of its health orders.

But Adams’ message wasn’t antimask — County Commissioner Eva Henry said at the time that she agreed with the intent of the order and supports mask-wearing.

“It’s unfortunate, you know, that politics got into our public health system — it shouldn’t be there,” Henry told Colorado Community Media in October. “And that was one of the reasons I voted to opt out of the mask order, to put it back in Tri-County’s hands, to take politics out of the public health orders. Commissioners shouldn’t be making public health decisions.”

Henry told CCM she wanted to have the conversation “long ago” of Adams having its own health agency.

“Once a year, all the county commissioners get together and they talk about the budget,” in the three counties, Henry said in October.

“And talk about what we’ll fund and not going to fund. With Arapahoe County’s budget restrictions they have, and Douglas County’s views, it made those decisions very hard.”

Adams has different budget policies than Arapahoe County because Arapahoe is “not deBruced,” meaning the county has different restrictions under Colorado’s Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights, Henry said.

For Adams County’s Pinter, watching other counties give less support or less-consistent backing to Tri-County Director John Douglas’ policy recommendations was part of what motivated her to want to break from Tri-County.

“If you watch the votes of the duly appointed board of health

members, those three Adams board of health members consistently voted together and in the interest of public health, in favor of Dr. Douglas’ recommendations,” Pinter told CCM in October. She added: “If you look at the votes on the board of health members of Arapahoe and Douglas, the same consistency is not true.”

Asked whether Arapahoe commissioners wanted more independence on public health orders during the pandemic, Jackson said: “We have not had that discussion.”

“I will tell you as (board) chair, or as a person or as a citizen who lives in Arapahoe County, I just want a seamless transition,” Jackson said. “I want the people in Arapahoe County to experience the high level of service and care that they’ve always gotten. How it’s done is the mystery box. But I personally don’t have a vested interest in any of the ideas.”

Asked whether Tri-County Health — whose headquarters sits in Arapahoe — could become a department of Arapahoe County and become its public health agency, Jackson said it’s not clear what will happen at this point.

“We’ve got a ton of different models we’re looking at,” Jackson said.

“That is probably one of them, but I would certainly not say that any particular model is ahead of the others at this point.

“This is a very complicated process, and we know everyone wants an answer today,” Jackson said. She added: “But the truth of it is we want to be very careful and look at the costs, look at the pros and cons, so that when we do set up a health department, it will stand.”

Christa Bruning, an Adams County spokesperson, has signaled that the county plans to enter into some type of partnership for public health services in the future.

“Adams County intends to contract with a local health agency for many of its public health services starting in January 2023,” Bruning said in October. “It’s too early in the process to know who that health agency is.”

Until new health departments are formed in Arapahoe and Adams, Tri-County maintains the ability to issue public health orders such as mask mandates in those counties.

HOMELESS FROM PAGE 10

Services would be needed Wherever it’s located, the recovery campus needs an array of services so “people can chart their own pathway” to recovery, Barker said. Some might need medical detoxification to begin. Others will need medication-assisted treatment, such as methadone or suboxone. Later, they will want community college courses and training in auto mechanics or culinary arts.

Most of all, people will need the space and time to recover, she said.

Living on the street or in shelters, people are in a constant state of crisis. “We know from the way our brains work that when you are in survival mode, wondering, ‘Where am I going to sleep tonight, where am I going to use the restroom,’ you are living minute to minute,” she said. “You can’t address any long-term goals.

People use (drugs) to survive on the streets, to numb the pain of being in survival mode.”

But when people who are homeless move into housing, with support from peers and therapists, their “nervous system relaxes” and they can start to “address the underlying trauma,” Barker said.

The governor’s office said “all possibilities to bring this to fruition are still being considered,” and emphasized the need for a collaborative effort among various cities and counties.

“In the wake of this pandemic, we have seen a rise in homeless-

ness in many cities that need bigger, bolder solutions in partnership with local governments who ultimately must deliver results for their communities,” Polis’ spokesman Conor Cahill said in an email.

“We look forward to discussing details in the coming months.”

Fort Lyon has 49% success in permanent housing Fort Lyon sits on 552 acres in the Lower Arkansas Valley, where a grassy oval is surrounded by dormstyle living as well as homes that once housed Army officers. Last fiscal year, 390 people lived at Fort Lyon, before the pandemic caused the recovery campus — run by the Colorado Coalition for the Homeless — to take a break from admitting people from March-June 2020.

Most of those 390 people came from Denver, Colorado Springs and Pueblo, and most returned to the Denver area, though some got jobs and housing in the community around Las Animas, according to an annual report from the Coalition for the Homeless.

Of the 390, 49% left with permanent housing. The average stay lasted 11 months.

A statewide referral network – including mental health centers, detox and substance abuse treatment clinics, the criminal justice system and the Coalition for the Homeless medical clinic – invites people to move to Fort Lyon.

James Ginsburg, who ran Fort Lyon for its first 5 1/2 years and now runs a nonprofit for the homeless in Lakewood, hopes to help develop plans for a Denverarea recovery campus. He has no doubt it would fill up — about 30

‘People spend 40 years getting ill and it’s going to take longer than 30 days to get well.’

James Ginsburg

people each morning come to his nonprofit, called RecoveryWorks, for hot showers and food. The center, which also has 10 beds for people who are homeless and need acute medical care, spends each afternoon helping people apply for housing.

The region is in major need of long-term, residential care to help people break the cycles of homelessness and addiction, he said.

“People spend 40 years getting ill and it’s going to take longer than 30 days to get well,” Ginsburg said.

“At the end of the day, people don’t want to self-destruct. But it’s the only life they’ve known.”

Ginsburg said he is hopeful that, especially after the way the pandemic exposed the depth of the homelessness crisis, that the public will support the homeless recovery campuses. He wants people to see that having a recovery center in the neighborhood is better than having people without homes sleeping in doorways and setting up tents along sidewalks.

“Everybody says they want it, just not in their neighborhood,” he said. “We have to continue to artic-

ulate the truth. Ignoring it is not going to make it go away.”

To serve the city and the suburbs, a new Denver-area recovery center is likely to sit closer to homes and businesses than the campuses of Fort Lyon and the potential AdamsArapahoe site, which is the former Ridge View Youth Services Center.

Ridge View, most recently a privately run program for teenage boys, is a 560-acre campus with seven living areas. The vast property has an industrial kitchen, an auto mechanic workshop, a football field and gymnasium.

Funding for the two new recovery campuses is part of a $200 million package proposed by Polis that also includes a competitive grant program for local communities to build shelters and housing.

Without public notices, the government wouldn’t have to say anything else.

Public notices are a community’s window into the government. From zoning regulations to local budgets, governments have used local newspapers to inform citizens of its actions as an essential part of your right to know. You know where to look, when to look and what to look for to be involved as a citizen. Local newspapers provide you with the information you need to get involved.

Notices are meant to be noticed. Read your public notices and get involved!
