Group says increased water storage will ruin Bear Creek Lake Park Large crowd shows opposition support in city council meeting

BY BOB WOOLEY BWOOLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

How you can weigh in to make your priorities known

A group opposed to a plan that would drastically increase water storage at Bear Creek Reservoir presented their case at the March 28 regular Lakewood City Council meeting.

At issue is a feasibility study being conducted by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and Colorado Water Conservation Board (CWCB) to determine the pros and cons of adding nearly 10 times more water to the reservoir than the 2000 acre feet of water it currently holds.

In the next fiscal year, Jeffco will face significant cuts to its General Fund. These cuts could affect anything from Public Health funding to the Sheriff’s Office.

BEST OF THE BEST

Some Background The quality and quantity of county provided services largely depends on taxpayer revenue in the county’s General Fund. That revenue primarily comes from property taxes and fees for services. But the county only retains about 24 cents for every dollar of property taxes paid. The rest goes to things like urban renewal, cities and special districts, with the lion’s share (50 cents out of every dollar) going to the school district.

County offices supported by the General Fund include Assessor, Board of County Commissioners, Coroner, District Attorney, Clerk and Recorder, Sheriff and Treasurer. The General Fund also supports other county funds including Public Health, Social Services and the Patrol Fund.

According to the county’s website, the General Fund, with a total of $218,809,300 in the 2020 Adopted Budget, makes up only about one-third of the entire county budget but supports over 50 % of county overall employees and services.

In the past two years, Jeffco has made cuts within the General Fund to slow the rate of spending and balance the county’s SEE BUDGET, P4

BEAR CREEK FROM PAGE 1

If the plan is ultimately carried out, the opposition group said much of the park, trails and riparian habitat along Bear Creek will be inundated with water when it’s rarely full, and turn into a dusty dry lake bed most of the time.

“That expanded pool (of water) represents more than 500 acres of the Bear Creek Lake Park and most of the forested riparian regions along Bear and Turkey Creeks,” said Katie Gill, who’s heading the opposition. “The dam was built for flood control and the Corps of Engineers is investigating whether a large portion of the reservoirs capacity may be reallocated for water storage. The potential for increased flood risk is being assessed, but other negative impacts are also being considered.”

Making the issue even more contentious, Jefferson County would not benefit from increased water

storage in the reservoir. Brighton, Berthoud and Dacono are the three municipalities slated to receive the extra water.

More than 100 people joined Gill at the council meeting, many wearing “save it” t-shirts, in an attempt to show unity around the issue. The park is a refuge not only for residents of the surrounding areas, but for countless species of wildlife that call the park home.

During her presentation, Gill told council members their support was vital in convincing the Corps of Engineers to choose alternatives to store the extra water.

“We are absolutely engaging with the Corps of Engineers in the public scoping process. As you know, that’s where we need to be putting in a lot of our work right now — providing input to the Corps for this feasibility study,” she said. “But we are here because your input also matters. According to the Corps of Engineers and the CWCB, the City’s input matters a lot.”

Gill went on to point out how

More than 100 people gather in the Lakewood City Council chambers to hear a presentation about a proposed expansion of Bear Creek Lake. Critics say expansion would inundate more than 500 acres of the surrounding park.

“quality of life” factors into the city’s ability to attract new businesses to the community.

Liam Hopkins, a 17-year-old junior from Green Mountain High School also addressed City Council during the meeting. Hopkins said the park has been part of his life for as long as he can remember, but in the last six months, he’s developed an interest in the many amphibians and reptiles that call the park home. He said the ability to pursue a passion in nature or simply take part in the many recreational opportunities the park provides, makes it invaluable to the community.

In a follow-up email the day after the she spoke to Council, Gill summarized her thoughts about the presentation.

“I hope our group effort demonstrates that community support for the Park, and opposition towards the proposed reservoir expansion, is widespread,” she said. “ We hope the City of Lakewood will advocate for alternatives and compromises as they engage with the Army Corps

Jefferson County Sheriff calls for changes to fentanyl legislation

BY BOB WOOLEY BWOOLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

HB 22-1326 Fentanyl Accountability and Prevention is a bipartisan bill currently making its way through the state house.

Sponsored by Representatives Alec Garnett (D) and Mike Lynch (R) along with State Senators Brittany Pettersen (D) and John Cooke (R), HB22-1326 is an attempt to address treatment options and change criminal penalties associated with synthetic opiates.

The bill does a lot of things, including development and implementation of statewide prevention and education campaigns to reduce fentanyl use.

But the penalties it establishes for fentanyl possession has several law enforcement agencies, including

Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office, in opposition to its passage as currently written.

The bill is meant to combat rising death tolls and usage rates of fentanyl. But if passed, possession of up to four grams of fentanyl would still be classified as a misdemeanor offense.

Charges and penalties would be tougher for someone caught in the act of selling the drug. But to some law enforcement, the lethality of the drug makes that a distinction without a difference.

Fentanyl is about 100 times more potent than morphine, according to The United States Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA). In the DEA’s estimation, two milligrams of fentanyl is a potentially lethal SEE FENTANYL, P5

Property Tax Increases for 2023 / 2024 Will Be Limited by TABOR in Some Jurisdictions

A couple weeks ago in this column, I warned homeowners that the current rise in home values means a proportionate increase in property valuations as of June 30, 2022, and therefore a likely rise in property taxes for 2023 and 2024.

I wrote that because of a typical 30% increase in what your home could have sold for on June 30, 2022, over June 30, 2020, your property taxes could increase by 30%, but that didn’t take into account the effect of the Taxpayer Bill of Rights, or TABOR, which restricts how much revenue each tax jurisdiction can keep to population growth plus the increase in the cost of living.

Under TABOR, if a taxing jurisdic-

tion collects more than that formula allows, it must refund the excess to the taxpayers.

However, many but not all jurisdictions, obtained voter approval to keep any excess revenue. The term for this common ballot measure is “de-Brucing,” after Douglas Bruce, the author of TABOR. All but two counties passed such ballot measures and won’t have to refund their excess revenues to taxpayers — or, more commonly, reduce their mill levies so they only collect the allowed amount of revenue. Jefferson County is one of those counties that has not de-Bruced, so they will likely reduce their mill levy for 2023 and 2024 to limit

Many buyers and sellers and their agents have to deal with competing offers for new listings. The Colorado Real Estate Commission has offered no guidance on how to deal (or not deal) with multiple offer situations.

Below, however, is NAR’s guidance based on the articles and Standards of Practice from the Realtor Code of Ethics. Note: The Code only applies to Realtors, and roughly half of licensed real estate brokers are not members of their local Realtor association.

“When representing a buyer, seller, landlord, tenant, or other client as an agent, Realtors® pledge themselves to protect and promote the interests of their clients. This obligation to the client’s interests is primary, but it does not relieve Realtors of their obligation to treat all parties honestly.” (from Article 1 of the 2014 Realtors Code of Ethics) “Realtors shall submit offers and counteroffers objectively and as quickly as possible.” (Standard of Practice 1-6) Perhaps no situation routinely faced by Realtors can be more frustrating, fraught with potential for misunderstanding and missed opportunity, and elusive of a formulaic solution than presenting and negotiating multiple purchase or lease offers and/or counter-offers on the same property. Consider the competing dynamics. Listing brokers are charged with helping sellers get the highest price and the most favorable terms for their property. Buyers’ brokers help their clients purchase property at the lowest price and on favorable terms. Balanced against the Code’s mandate of honesty is the imperative to refrain from making disclosures that may not, in the final analysis, be in a client’s interests. (Revised 11/01) Will disclosing the existence of one offer make a second potential purchaser more likely to sign a full price purchase offer—or to pursue a different opportunity? Will tell-

ing several potential purchasers that each will be given a final opportunity to make their best offer result in spirited competition for the seller’s property—or in a table devoid of offers? What is fair? What is honest?

What is to be done? Who decides? And why is there not a simple way to deal with these situations? As Realtors know, there are almost never simple answers to complex situations. And multiple offer presentations and negotiations are nothing if not complex. But, although there is not a single, standard approach to dealing with multiple offers, there are fundamental principles to guide Realtors.

While these guidelines focus on negotiation of purchase offers, the following general principles are equally applicable to negotiation of lease agreements. (Revised 11/01) Be aware of your duties to your client— seller or buyer—both as established in the Code of Ethics and in state law and regulations. (Revised 5/01) The Code requires you to protect and promote your client’s interests. State law or regulations will likely also spell out duties you owe to your client. The Code requires that you be honest with all parties. State law or regulations will likely spell out duties you owe to other parties and to other real estate professionals. Those duties may vary from the general guidance offered here. Realtors need to be familiar with applicable laws and regulations. Be aware of your duties to other parties—both as established in the Code of Ethics and in state law and regulation. Remember that the decisions about how offers will be presented, how offers will be negotiated, whether counter-offers will be made and ultimately which offer, if any, will be….

their property tax revenue despite the increase in valuations.

In any county, however, the biggest mill levy is that of the school district, and, again, most school districts, including Jeffco’s, have de-Bruced and can enjoy the coming windfall in revenue by not reducing their mill levies.

Any given property’s mill levy is the sum of individual mill levies from multiple taxing jurisdictions. You can see all those mill levies by looking for your property on the country assessor’s website. For example, in Jeffco, you’d go to http://propertysearch.jeffco.us. In other counties, just Google the county’s name + “assessor.”

For any given address, you’re likely to find between 5 and 15 different jurisdictions with individual mill levies. In unincorporated areas of Jefferson County, for example, you’ll find separate mill levies for the county, for Jeffco schools, for the country sherrif (“law enforcement”), for your local water district, local park district, local fire district, RTD, drainage and flood control distict, etc.

As an aside, a lot of people think that “unincorporated” translates to lower property taxes, but the opposite is true.

Denver has one of the lowest mill levies and, like Golden, includes police, fire, parks, and water services. Golden’s is second lowest, according to my research.

Consider the following: the West Metro Fire District, serving much of Lakewood, collects about 13.2 mills from property owners in its taxing district — and that’s just for fire protection.

Meanwhile, the City of Golden’s current mill levy is less than that (12.34 mills) and includes all municipal services — fire, police, parks and recreation, and more. Golden may have higher real estate prices, but our real estate is taxed at a lower rate than Lakewood and most of the rest of the county.

The increase in valuation itself is not restricted by TABOR. That’s why it’s only a question of whether the jurisdiction has collected more money than it’s allowed to keep and must refund the excess to taxpayers. That’s where “deBrucing” comes into play.

BUDGET FROM PAGE 1

budget — totaling $16.1 million in 2020 and approximately $8.7 million in 2021. Jeffco says these reductions have impacted essential public services such as public safety, roads and more. TABOR, the state’s Taxpayers Bill of Rights also factors into the equation, in that from 20152019, Jeffco hit the TABOR cap every year, which required the county to refund approximately $111 million in taxes collected over that timespan.

Next Year Now, after two years of global pandemic, hard financial realities for Jeffco other counties are looming. Beginning in 2023, the county is facing up to an additional $20 million in cuts in the General Fund.

What separates Jeffco from most other counties in the state however, is that according to Julie Story, Jeffco’s Public Affairs Director, it’s one of only two counties in the state that hasn’t been granted some sort of relief from TABOR revenue limits.

Ballot Issue 1A was put forward in 2019. It was voted down, but had it passed, it would have allowed the county to opt out of TABOR for seven years.

dose. Doing the math, it follows that since there are 4000 milligrams in four grams, there could potentially be 2000 lethal doses in the amount of fentanyl someone would be charged with a misdemeanor for possessing.

In case the metric system has you somewhat flummoxed and you’d like a real world example, four grams is the equivalent of about a leveled (not heaping) teaspoon of sugar. This is just a rough estimate, because particles of sugar won’t weigh the exact same as fentanyl particles.

In a recent “Behind the Badge” newsletter posted to the Jeffco. us website, Sheriff Jeff Shrader wrote an open letter strongly opposing passage of the bill.

“Currently, the legislation proposes to impart harsher penalties on dealers who sell fentanyl, but fails to render any substantial penalties on those who possess it,” Shrader wrote. “I believe both possessing and dealing should be felony crimes, because even the smallest amount of fentanyl is dangerous and deadly.”

Calling for real and significant consequences for those who use and possess the drug, Shrader said his fear is that fentanyl will bypass a judge and jury and take users straight to the grave.

Referencing a recent fentanyl overdose case where five young people were found dead in a Com-

merce City apartment, and the public outcry that followed, Shrader said he agrees that treatment, education and the availability of Narcan for first responders are strong priorities. But he thinks a misdemeanor charge for four grams of fentanyl amounts to nothing more than a “slap on the wrist.”

Adams County District Attorney Brian Mason described the scene inside the Commerce City apartment in an interview with Colorado Public Radio.

“They essentially dropped dead where they were. They didn’t have time to call for help,” Mason said.

“We’re finding fentanyl in cocaine, heroin and methamphetamine and oxycontin and, even in limited circumstances, we found it in marijuana. This is a huge public safety crisis.”

Denver Mayor, Michael Hancock has also been outspoken about the possession provision. Though he recently tweeted support for the bill, saying there were many solid pieces to it, Hancock implored legislators to revisit the possession penalties.

“While a good start on a tough problem, I believe we must also address possession levels,” Hancock wrote. “The evidence is clear: half of all Denver overdose deaths are related to fentanyl. There is no safe amount of fentanyl unless directed by a physician, and unless we work to deter people from possessing amounts that are enough to kill up to 2,000 people, we cannot say we have fully addressed this problem.”

‘They essentially dropped dead where they were. They didn’t have time to call for help.’

Brian Mason, Adams County District Attorney Shrader said this is an issue people should challenge their legislators on and ask why all levels of fentanyl possession don’t warrant a felony charge. He said his office doesn’t want to over-criminalize individuals, but he thinks with a

drug as lethal as fentanyl, an intervention like being taken to jail might actually be a step that saves people’s lives.

HB 22-1326 will go before the House Judiciary Committee on April 12.

While puppies might not need an annual license to be so adorable, they do need one, as do all dogs, that reside in unincorporated Jefferson County and in the cities of Arvada, Edgewater, Golden, Lakewood, Westminster and Wheat Ridge.

And licensing your pet is as easy as logging online.

That’s the message Leadership Golden participants Lora Haimes and Tana Lawler and their teammates hope to elevate with a self-directed community project they’ve chosen as part of the program’s curriculum.

Together, with support from Foothills Animal Shelter Marketing and Community Engagement Manager Joan Thielen, the two animal lovers hope to raise awareness of the benefits of purchasing an annual license for your pet.

Sparked by the notion that each $20 pet license helps offset a portion of the $1.6 million annual budget FAS receives from the municipalities it serves, Lawler and Haimes had an idea—and a mission.

“It was a doable project, and we felt we could help increase exposure pretty effectively,” said Haimes. “I think it’s something people are willing to do, I think there’s a lack of awareness they’re supposed to do it.”

While only dogs are required to be licensed, cats and other ani-

mals are optional.

Licensing a pet not only saves an owner from potential fines if the pet gets out, it’s also the quickest way to be reconnected with a lost pet.

“A lot of people get their dogs chipped these days, but for lowerincome people, a license will allow them to find their dog and is a lot less expensive than paying for a chip,” Haimes said.

Licenses are connected to an easy-to-use online database. If licensed, lost and found pets have a better chance of being returned to their owners.

Thielen said the process has become so much easier. Pet owners may license their pets online and may now pay fees by credit card.

Lawler said their project plans to incorporate social media and signs in local dog parks.

There’s even a plan for a vaccination clinic.

Thielen said projects like Haimes and Lawler’s are appreciated.

“They are super helpful in raising awareness,” she said. “Wordof-mouth is one of the best ways to communicate with our community here and let them know that we are here as a resource whether that is pet licensing, or they need to surrender a pet or adopt a pet, or if they need access to affordable services. It just helps a lot to have the support of community members to stand behind us.”

Colorado is reshaping early childhood Some school districts are nervous about proposed changes

BY ANN SCHIMKE CHALKBEAT COLORADO

As Colorado prepares to launch free universal preschool, lawmakers are taking up legislation that could reshape Colorado’s early childhood landscape and reverberate for decades to come.

Many advocates and early educators laud the changes laid out in the bill, including the creation of a new state early childhood agency, saying it will elevate the profile of early childhood issues, cut red tape for families and providers, and dramatically expand preschool access.

But the plan also has prompted concerns about how school district roles could change and whether they’ll be left serving a disproportionate share of students with special needs. And some early childhood leaders worry about how fast the process is moving, how many details are unresolved, and whether there are enough providers to meet new enrollment demands.

Angela Fedler, who heads several early childhood programs for the Delta County School District in western Colorado, said, “I love the idea of universal preschool.

leaders said state officials have recently held regular meetings to gather feedback from district staff.

I believe in the idea of universal preschool. I do have some fears around it as well.”

“We’re moving really fast for such a big jump,” she said.

Bill Jaeger, vice president of early childhood and policy initiatives for the Colorado Children’s Campaign, said of the legislation, “There’s a lot of reimagining of the early childhood system to make it child-, family-, and provider-focused and break down those silos, and that requires significant statutory change.

“There is a degree of urgency,” he said, noting that some of the bill’s provisions need to get underway as soon as possible.

State lawmakers recently moved up the department’s July 1 start date to this spring. The governor likely will name an executive director in the coming weeks. Among other things, the department will roll out universal preschool in the summer of 2023. The initiative, funded largely with a voter-approved nicotine tax, is a top priority for Polis.

Scott Smith, chief financial and operating officer for the Cherry Creek school district, said his district supports universal preschool but noted the state had “some blind spots and some missteps” in planning, including leaving too small a role for school district leaders during the early stages.

“Not including school people from the beginning really left us behind,” he said.

Smith and other school district

Big changes for school districts Right now, about a quarter of Colorado’s 4-year-olds attend state-funded preschool, which serves children with certain risk factors. More than three-quarters of those slots are housed in school district classrooms.

Most other children attend preschool elsewhere, in child care centers or private preschools, for example.

In expanding to serve all 4-yearolds whose families want 10 hours of tuition-free preschool, the state expects to lean on private providers.

The idea is to give parents a choice of settings and help accommodate the influx of new students.

The state no longer will rely exclusively on school districts to administer state-funded preschool locally. Instead, nonprofits, community groups, and districts all will be able to vie for the job.

These changes, along with many others included in the legislation, follow recommendations that a state early childhood commission issued in November and January. Still, school district officials have questions and concerns.

Smith, of the Cherry Creek district, said, “We don’t need private providers. We can accommodate this internally,” speaking about any additional students who want slots under the universal program.

Currently, the district houses all of Cherry Creek’s 800-plus state-funded preschool slots in its classrooms.

But many districts already contract with community-based providers to offer state-funded preschool

slots. Denver, the state’s largest district, is one of them.

Priscilla Hopkins, the district’s executive director of early education, said the use of both public-school classrooms and private preschools — often called “mixed delivery” — works well.

“I think parents want high-quality preschool,” she said. “As school districts, that needs to be our north star.”

Fedler, of Delta County, agreed, but worries that private providers could shy away from the universal preschool program if subject to lots of new quality requirements.

“It’s hard, especially in rural Colorado, to get people to want to work with little learners,” she said.

“If we start asking more of them, how many more of them will walk away?”

What about disabilities?

Some school district leaders worry that the universal preschool program — specifically the availability of slots in private programs — could hurt children with disabilities.

Currently, the vast majority of those children are served in public school classrooms that also include a sizable share of typically developing children. But there are questions about what happens if lots of families with typical children opt for private programs, segregating children with disabilities in public schools.

“We want to make sure we don’t become the special education preschool,” Smith said.

Theoretically, the families of children with disabilities may choose community-based preschools when universal preschool launches, but it’s not clear whether or how those programs will provide free therapies or other services outlined in those preschoolers’ special education plans.

Mat Aubuchon, the director of early childhood and elementary programs in the Westminster district north of Denver, said under federal special education law, school districts must ensure that students with disabilities get the right services from qualified staff members.

“We don’t want to set an expectation that [special education] services can just happen anywhere,” he said.

Aubuchon said he’s not opposed to the mixed delivery model, but said it must be planned carefully to ensure preschoolers with disabilities are appropriately served.

Placements, he said, will have to be

determined case by case.

Other sticking points Besides providing for an expanded field of preschool providers, the new legislation envisions a simple application process — one that allows families to easily apply for universal preschool and other early childhood programs.

Just about everyone agrees with the idea in principle.

But some school leaders worry that integrating technologies from different programs into one application is too complicated to roll out in a year. If it’s not done well from the get-go, it’s just “one more confusing thing for families to deal with,” said Aubuchon.

Claudia Strait, who heads the Early Childhood Council for Yuma, Washington, and Kit Carson counties in eastern Colorado, said many families in her area don’t speak English and aren’t computer savvy, so she hopes the new application process won’t leave them out.

Some early childhood leaders are also leery about the plan to empower the new agency’s executive director to make rules, which spell out how state laws should be implemented.

The provision is meant to make the new department nimble, but some observers worry it puts a lot of power in one person’s hands.

“We’d prefer to see some sort of accountability,” said Smith of Cherry Creek. “I’m not sure what mechanism exists right now that would hold that executive director accountable.”

About half of state agencies have a rule-making board and half don’t.

The new early childhood department would have a rule-making advisory council and state officials also say the executive director would have to follow state laws that require public hearings and testimony on state regulations.

Aubuchon said a rule-making board might be beneficial for the first couple years of the new department, with that authority transferring to the department’s executive director later on.

Strait said she’s a little nervous about the new executive director having so much power, but is also circumspect about the many unknowns that lay ahead.

“It’s just like anything else, anything that’s new, it’s going to be hard adjusting,” she said. “The longer that it’s in place, the smoother it gets.”

Colorado parks are full and getting fuller How will the state decide who gets in, and who gets hurt?

BY MICHAEL BOOTH THE COLORADO SUN

Colorado Parks and Wildlife says state parks closest to the Front Range, including Staunton State Park southwest of Denver, which opened in 2013, are being loved to death, as people seek quick access to wild and scenic areas, such as Elk Falls.

PHOTO BY LARRY RYCKMAN/THE COLORADO SUN

If anybody could work the system and get access to wildly popular open space this summer, you’d think Colorado Parks and Wildlife Commissioner Taishya Adams would have a good shot.

But there she is, just like everyone else, penciling early March on her planner as the day she can first swing sharp elbows online to get summer group backpacking reservations at Rocky Mountain National Park, not far from her home in Boulder.

“I’ve had it marked in my calendar for six months,” Adams told her fellow commissioners last week. She endorsed a new timed entry proposal for Eldorado Canyon State Park, where overflowing parking lots on weekends back up onto lawns in the little town of Eldorado Springs.

But she added a warning message: Intergenerational families love the big picnic areas at Eldorado and other state parks. They come in more than one car. Managing crowds by managing cars should not shut out diverse uses of state open space.

“I would hate to see that become a barrier,” Adams said.

Up, up and away Everyone agrees Colorado’s open spaces are growing alarmingly crowded on popular days. The numbers are startling.

Visitation at close-in Front Range state parks has doubled or nearly tripled. Sprawling Lake Pueblo had to turn away cars for the first time in 2020, the year it passed 3 million visitors. Jefferson County Open Space does not have gated entry for counting, but believes visitation to its 28 foothills gems passed 7 million last year.

Staunton State Park near Conifer rocketed from 89,000 in 2015 to 277,000 in 2020. Barr Lake in Brighton, a hit with birders and flatland

bikers, went from 119,000 in 2015 to 258,000 in 2020, before settling back a bit with indoor pandemic restrictions easing in 2021. Open space officials expect use to keep climbing rapidly, if not quite as steeply as in the first year of the pandemic.

Made with Flourish A Center for Western Priorities study of reservable camping spaces at federal and local public lands showed more than 95% of sites were taken at peak periods, with an overall 39% increase in summer camping at public spaces.

And the state parks commission may have just opened the gates on a new flood — the annual Keep Colorado Wild state parks pass will be only $29 in 2023, tacked on to annual car registration with an option to decline it, less than half the current $80 fee for one car.

Need to find a better solution than first come, first served Open space managers across the West are scrambling to accommodate the growth without provoking a public backlash against new rules. Mandatory shuttles from remote lots, parking fee add-ons, timed entry, seasonal trail closures for wildlife protection, and extra fees for non-residents are all under consideration in every parks-related office.

“You do have to be ready to say OK, first come, first served doesn’t work if you have an entrance line that’s a half mile long every day,” said Aaron Weiss, deputy director of the nonprofit Center for Western Priorities, which advocates for expanded public lands and more parks funding. “We have to find a better solution.”

The answer can’t just be forcing everyone to online reservation systems or discouragingly high fees, Weiss and others say. The fix has to include more open land, they argue, including the Biden administration’s executive order seeking to protect 30% of U.S. land and water by 2030.

“Increased use of state and federal lands is a good thing, and the solution SEE PARKS, P11

isn’t to curtail access, but rather increase it by conserving more land and removing barriers to entry from those who feel excluded or unable to access the outdoors,” said Jackie Ostfeld, director of Sierra Club’s Outdoors for All campaign.

“The threat of overuse poses in these small spots, and it is a legitimate threat, is miniscule compared to the threat posed by development,” Weiss said.

Anecdotal evidence and polling data show the online ticket jockeying and the turned-away cars, from Pueblo to Roxborough, are altering the way Coloradans use — or try to use — the great outdoors.

About 58% of Coloradans said crowding in the last two to three years has changed where and how they recreate, according to this year’s annual State of the Rockies Project poll of Western states by Colorado College and New Bridge Strategy. The average across all eight Western states polled was 48% changing their time and location of outdoor recreation.

Larimer County hiker Suzy Paquette said she understands the need for control experiments like timed entry, but added that the online regimen started at Rocky Mountain National Park last year did change how she and her husband get outdoors.

Even on weekdays in the summer, the national park passes are “gone like lickety split,” she said.

“So that’s one of the problems, you can’t just say ‘Oh, let’s go to the park today.’”

It’s not just the human visitors and residents whose behavior and attitudes are impacted by the outdoors rush, said Dana Bove, a volunteer who helps keep track of eagles and hawks at places like Barr Lake, St. Vrain, Boyd Lake and county parks. He feels he’s lost his own “solace” in the crowded parking lots and packed trails, but worries more about the birds.

“These days, most of my walks on the trails where we live are at dusk or in the evening,” Bove said. He can choose to walk later, but he said, “wildlife is not so fortunate, as they

The outdoors are turning into an overcrowded theme park Pueblo is proud that people come from all over to boat on Lake Pueblo, swim at Rock Canyon, or mountain bike on dozens of miles of trails, said Jamie Valdez, who has led mountain bike classes at the state park. Pueblo gets less snow, and the warm winter sunshine attracts recreation from multiple states, he said.

Valdez has his eye now on the city’s Pueblo Mountain Park, with its own hiking trails in the foothills southwest of town sitting as a hidden gem. “It’s a beautiful, beautiful park, and it seems to be almost forgotten,” he said.

The nonprofit Boulder Climbing Community weighed in early on the proposed changes to how Eldorado Canyon is managed, knowing many of its members go dozens of times a year and count on driving, rolling or striding in just a few minutes after class or work.

To their credit, Boulder County and the state have consulted closely with climbers on improving the shuttle to the park and making sure timed car passes aren’t hoarded or sold, said Boulder Climbing Community executive director Kate Beezley. The shuttles have spaces for climbers’ crash pads and other gear.

Robert Fix of Westminster and Mike Wright of Boulder prepare to go climbing at Eldorado Canyon State Park in Eldorado Springs on March 4. (Olivia Sun, The Colorado Sun via Report for America) Robert Fix of Westminster and Mike Wright of Boulder prepare to go climbing on March 4, 2022, at Eldorado Canyon State Park in Eldorado Springs. (Olivia Sun, The Colorado Sun via Report for America) More controlled-entry rules for open space are inevitable, Beezley said, so parks managers need to make sure they consider all the user groups and keep things fair.

“Who is the primary user group?

Who are your frequent flyers? And how can you help them maintain those patterns of their health and well-being?” she said.

Parks managers flinch when they think of the potential overuse coming to stunningly picturesque, newly

minted state parks like Sweetwater Lake in Garfield County, and Fishers Peak near Trinidad. Weiss, of the Center for Western Priorities, uses the word “harden” to describe how open space planners must anticipate the places a frenzied public will park, hike, build fires or camp, and create protections for those natural areas.

Marketing experts also must join in to help spread people out by showcasing alternatives to the closest, most Instagrammed locations, experts say.

Otherwise, Weiss said, the great outdoors becomes “this massive Disneyland problem that you end up with at Zion National Park, or at Chautauqua for that matter. There’s a lot to be said for making sure folks are aware, hey, there are equally great if not better experiences, because it’s less crowded.”

Angel’s Landing at Zion is one of Weiss’ favorite spots. But it’s no fun, he said, “If it looks like the line to ‘Pirates of the Caribbean.’”

Looking for other solutions So what else can be done? Scott Roush, who oversees some of the busiest Colorado state parks close to the Denver metro area, said park users should expect more experiments with timed entry like the one moving forward for Eldorado Canyon this summer.

Highline Lake State Park is a place managers worry about, he said.

Parking lots fill fast on weekends at the rare body of water in the high desert near Grand Junction. Without more parking controls, people leave their cars wherever they feel like it, just as at Eldorado Canyon,

Roush said.

Jeffco Open Space is adding new parking spaces at Alderfer/Three Sisters Park outside Evergreen, community connections director Matt Robbins said. That may head off “volunteer” parking. Jefferson County also puts stock in educating park users on simple, highly effective tips like staying on the trail even in mud season. Hikers sidestepping mud create “braiding” that turns single track into 4-foot-wide throughways, Robbins said.

Charging for parking or timed ticketing are tougher, Robbins said, because Jeffco does not have controlled entry at its 28 parks in the way national or state parks do. The county did try an experiment last year partnering with Lyft for $2.50 off rides to and from open space parks. It was a bust, Robbins said.

Federal, state and county cooperation is key to pulling off more successful management techniques, said Dan Gibbs, executive director of the Colorado Department of Natural Resources. Gibbs lives in Breckenridge, where one of the busiest 14,000-foot peaks in the state, Quandary, beckons from the south.

County officials worked with the U.S. Forest Service to implement a reservation system for countyowned lots at Quandary’s base, and a shuttle system for remote parking areas.

“In these high-usage areas, I think that’s going to be the future, whether it’s on state lands or federal lands,” Gibbs said.

A look at Colorado’s property tax system

I

f we were starting from scratch, we’d never come up with a property tax system remotely like what we have in Colorado.

Through a combination of things that we the people have done through voter approved constitutional amendments and provisions enacted by the legislature, our system has a variety of interconnected things that are littered with unintended consequences and questionable public policy impacts.

Property taxes are determined based upon what the property is worth, what it is used for and where it is located. Counties, schools and special districts depend primarily on property taxes, but the constitutional and statutory provisions that oversee operations are imposed at the state level.

The dysfunction began in 1982 with passage of the Gallagher Amendment, which fixed the percentage of total taxes to be paid by commercial and residential

properties. When Gallagher was adopted, commercial taxes were roughly 28% higher than residential taxes.

By 2020, they were more than 405% more. Passage of TABOR in 1992 further complicated things be limiting Columnist governments’ revenue and spending.

Ironically, the provision in TABOR that allow restrictions to be waived by a vote of the people and how many local governments successfully “de-bruced” resulted in even more confusion.

A couple of significant changes happened more recently. As the difference between taxes on residential and commercial property was about to become even larger, the legislature referred an amendment to repeal the Gallagher Amendment, with the expectation that current

GREG ROMBERG

tax percentages would remain in place, to voters in 2020. The repeal was approved. Last year, to undermine a citizen-initiated amendment to reduce property tax revenues, the legislature passed a bill that created more tax categories and lowered rates for 2022 and 2023. Both the reason for and result of the bill was flawed. Introducing legislation to undermine something upon which voters will be asked to weigh in is inappropriate and fuels skepticism.

The 11th hour proposal has led to unintended confusion to an already confusing tax system.

Several initiatives related to property tax are in the process of trying to qualify for the ballot. It is likely that we’ll vote on multiple proposals concerning things people don’t like.

That approach of nibbling around the edges, regardless of the intentions or specific elements of each proposal,is absolutely the wrong way to proceed.

To better prepare for the future and to get a fairer and more logical

system, the legislature should ask voters for a waiver on single subject rules and create a commission with representatives of all parties impacted by property tax. That commission should gather input and provide a comprehensive overhaul for voters’ consideration.

Board elections for the Evergreen Fire Protection District, Evergreen Parks and Recreation District and Evergreen Metro District are scheduled for May 3. Each election is being run independently of the others, which will not help with our usually low voter turnout. Please learn about the candidates for each board and exercise your privilege and responsibility to vote in each election.

An unsolved math problem on the Colorado River

S

pring runoff last year in the Colorado River Basin was a bust, with snowpack of almost 90% of average reduced to a 30% inflow at Lake Powell.

BIG PIVOTS Nobody yet predicts another bust this year. While we wait, water managers talk about “the math problem.”

The gap between water flows and demands in the Colorado River Allen Best is enormous and likely to widen. The dysfunctional equation begins with 20 million acre-feet, the average annual flows assumed by the Colorado River Compact that was crafted 100 years ago by delegates from the seven basin states.

This cheerful assumption was based on early 20th century flows. It was made with almost willful disregard of evidence available even then of the river’s lesser flows during the prior half-century. The delegates who met at a lodge near Santa Fe in 1922 were determined to yoke all irrigable acres into agricultural production.

In this math problem, another key number is 12.3 million acre-feet. That’s been the river’s average flow in the 21st century. Some of this reduced flow

seems to be entirely natural, what we call drought, if exceptional in duration.

Something else has been going on.

Temperatures have risen 3 degrees Celsius altogether since 1970. By some estimates, half or more of the reduced flows can be attributed to this global warming effect. This warming explains the grand larceny in the Colorado River, decent snowpacks reduced to a shrug in the Utah desert because of evaporation but also because plants need more water. Too, baked soil sops up water.

We can’t flip the switch on global warming and it’s almost certain to worsen, the temperature rise doubling or tripling, as Colorado State University’s Brad Udall warns. He describes what is occurring as aridification. Unlike drought, it’s not temporary.

Dismal forecasts This brings us to another number for this Colorado River Basin math problem: 11 million acre-feet.

That’s the number cited last week at a University of Utah conference about future flows of the Colorado River.

“The best climate scientists in the world say we will be lucky to have 11 million acre-feet,” said John Entsminger, general manager of the Southern Nevada Water Authority, the agency serving Las Vegas.

To recap this math problem, the Colorado River Compact assumed 20

million-acre feet, the reality has been 12.3 in the last two decades, and we’ll end up with 11 million-acre feet—or conceivably less.

“Every new use will have to be mitigated by someone, somewhere, using less water,” Entsminger added.

That’s not entirely right either. We all will have to use less water. Keep in mind that not one drop of the Colorado River gets to the Sea of Cortez.

Cinching of the water belt has been underway from Mexico to Colorado.

It’s not happening as rapidly as needed, though. Consider the rapidly emerging walls of Glen Canyon and the dam that creates Lake Powell. Despite emergency releases from upstream reservoirs in Colorado and Utah last summer to bolster Powell, the water levels last week dipped below 3,525 feet.

That elevation is arbitrary but a loud warning that a further decline of 35 feet leaves Glen Canyon unable to generate electricity. Recent modeling by the U.S. Geological Survey shows a 25% risk.

If — or perhaps when — that happens, municipalities and cooperative members who get power from Glen Canyon will still get electricity from elsewhere, but it will cost more. That includes Holy Cross Electric.

Long term, this worsening situation of subpar runoff in the Colorado River matters to well more than 90% of Colorado’s population. The Colorado

River and its tributaries deliver half of Front Range water. Even the easterly flowing rivers in Colorado that pass through more distant, less citified places, Sterling and La Junta, carry water augmented by diversions from the Colorado River.

Much remains to be worked out.

Within Colorado, agriculture uses 80% to 90% of all water. Farmers and ranchers who own the more senior water rights, not subject to compact limitations, have served emphatic notice that their water will not be the answer to the math problem.

Another problem is the compact clause that puts the upper basin states—Colorado, Utah, New Mexico and Wyoming—on the hook for diminished flows. It says they “will not cause” the flows at Lee Ferry, just below Glen Canyon, to be depleted below 75 million acre-feet of water over a rolling 10-year average. The upper basin states cannot do this alone. The risk must be shared.

This sounds gloomy. That said, the seven basin states, Mexico, and the sovereign tribes who collectively own about 20% of the basin’s water have yet to throw rocks at each other. They are talking. They just haven’t solved this math problem.

Sleep expert calls permanent daylight saving time a dumb idea

BY JOHN INGOLD THE COLORADO SUN

On the darkest morning of winter, the sun rises across Colorado — depending on where you are — sometime between about 7:05 a.m. and 7:40 a.m.

You roll out of bed, get dressed, make coffee or eat some breakfast.

If you are like the average person in Denver, the sun is probably rising along with you as you do these things.

Now imagine that your morning routine stays the same, but the sun stays in bed an hour later. You would head off to work in the dark.

School for many children would begin in the dark.

This is the situation Colorado would be facing during the darkest days of winter if the nation switched to permanent daylightsaving time, and it’s why University of Colorado sleep science professor Kenneth Wright thinks the idea is so horrible.

“Every morning, sunlight helps us to reset ourselves,” said Wright, who teaches integrative physiology and the head of the university’s Sleep and Chronobiology Lab. “And that way we are in sync with the 24hour light-dark cycle of Earth.”

Standard time — what Wright believes the country should be on full-time — roughly tracks the sun in each time zone, with the sun at its highest point in the sky around noon. Colorado and most other states observe standard time during the winter months. Daylight time, meanwhile, pushes the clock ahead an hour during the spring, summer and fall, meaning people will see later sunsets — something advocates for changing to permanent daylight time tout as a benefit that will allow people to be more active after work or school.

The idea of switching Colorado to permanent daylight-saving time is an old one, with efforts in the state legislature stretching back more than a decade. On Monday, a Colorado state House committee gave approval to the latest effort — a bill that would make daylight time permanent in Colorado but only if either the federal government authorizes it or if four other states in the Mountain time zone do the same.

But the idea of going to daylight saving time full-time really gained

new momentum earlier this month when the U.S. Senate passed a measure to make daylight saving time permanent across the country.

Wright said there is no debate about the idea among sleep experts globally. At the same time the Senate voted to make daylight saving permanent, Wright was in Rome, attending World Sleep 2022, an annual conference that is so big that the World Sleep Society dubs it a “congress.”

The reaction among attendees at the meeting? It’s a really bad idea.

“There is expert consensus here that, if we have to choose one of these, permanent standard time is the healthier choice,” Wright said.

Ending the spring forward Wright wants to be clear: He is not in favor of clock-switching, the most loathsome feature of the nation’s annual change from standard time to daylight time and back again.

A robust body of research shows that the annual springing forward, when we shift clocks an hour ahead at the start of daylight-saving time, causes a surge in fatal car accidents, heart attacks and strokes.

“No question, we need to stop the change, going back and forth,” Wright said.

Changing to permanent daylightsaving time will compound the problems by interrupting our bodies’ natural circadian rhythms, Wright said.

As he explains it, light in the morning is different to our bodies than light at night. The morning light signals to our circadian clocks that it’s time to get moving. The ebbing of evening light tells our clocks it’s time to slow down. So, stealing light from the morning to give to the evening, especially in winter, pushes that clock rhythm back.

This would likely lead to later bedtimes in the winter, especially when coupled with the impact of artificial light at night on sleep. (A CU study published earlier this year found that even minor exposure to light in the hour prior to bedtime can disrupt the sleep of preschoolers.)

This might not be such a big deal if our schedules were fungible, and we could just plan to wake up later in the morning. But they’re not. School start times are fixed, as are most people’s work start times.

Both could be changed, of course, but it would require a big cultural movement to do so.

That means, when alarm clocks start going off during those dark morning hours, our circadian rhythms would likely rather we still be fast asleep. The resulting sleep deprivation could lead to greater risk for a litany of health problems, from weight gain, heart attacks and cancer to poor mental health and substance abuse.

“This change,” Wright said of a move to permanent daylight-saving time, “is likely going to make these types of problems worse.”

Be glad we’re not Idaho Colorado, though, wouldn’t get the worst of it if the nation moved to full-time daylight time. That’s because the state sits on the eastern side of the Mountain time zone.

The latest the sun will rise in Denver this year is 7:32 a.m., which will happen in early November right before the clocks fall back to standard time. Things stay darker a little longer as you go farther west and north. But, even in Grand Junction, the latest the sun will rise this year is 7:45 a.m.

If daylight saving time were made

permanent, those latest-sunrise times would change to 8:19 a.m. and 8:31 a.m., respectively, and they would fall right around the first of the year. Wright said switching to daylight time year-round would mean about two months out of the year when the sun wouldn’t rise before 8 a.m. in the state. (It wouldn’t change the latest sunset times because those occur in summer when the state is already on daylight time, but it would push the earliest sunset times back an hour — to about 5:36 p.m. at the earliest in Denver, occurring in early December.)

It appears that Congress might be starting to come around to that thinking. At last report, the Sunshine Protection Act — the bill passed in the Senate to make daylight saving permanent — is facing a much, ahem, dimmer outlook in the U.S. House.

LIFE

faced with the prospect of going ghost or reinventing themselves, towns of their ilk have been forced to find new ways to get by.

Other historic settlements haven’t been as lucky as the roadside mountain towns.

“In the old days, you’re traveling by horse and wagon, to travel 10 miles a day was a good trip,” said Ed Bathke, a member of the Ghost Town Club since 1961. “So, there were a lot of little towns that were about 10 miles apart.

“Today, you can go much greater distances in an auto pretty quickly, so therefore a lot of these little towns that were really supply points, business centers for their surrounding community, are now essentially ghost towns because people don’t need a supply point that close,” Bathke said.

“What would happen to Georgetown if I-70 wasn’t there, or had not gone through? Or before that, (Route) 40?” Knightchild wonders.

Towns that can’t reinvent themselves run the risk of falling by the

From the foothills of Douglas County to the cliffs of Battle Mountain, history abounds in Colorado’s uninhabited towns

BY RYLEE DUNN RDUNN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

“

There’s nothing abandoned in Colorado,” proclaims Melanie Roth from a set of wooden steps outside a cabin in St. Elmo — a ghost town in Chaffee County.

Roth’s assertion is a bold one considering the setting — a dead-silent main street consisting of 150-year-old buildings that haven’t been inhabited since the 1950s gives way to the towering foothills of Mount Princeton and the Collegiate Peaks.

Here, over a hundred miles from the bustling cityscape of metro Denver, it’s easy to feel isolated — yet not entirely alone.

St. Elmo is perhaps the most well preserved of Colorado’s many ghost towns — remnants of a bygone era when mining, agriculture and railroad routes largely governed where people lived.

While many of these settlements have been decimated by years of weathering — and in some cases, vandalism — a small group of dedicated historians have worked to preserve them as markers of Colorado’s history.

“Two things make Colorado ghost towns different than any other state,” said Lee Dahl, a member of the Ghost Town Club of Colorado.

“First of all, the setting; a lot of them are up in the mountains, that kind of makes them a little remote, off the beaten path, not a lot of people knew about it for a long time.

“The other thing is that a lot of those ghost towns had a huge infrastructure where you’d have a mine shaft, and a milling building, some rather large structures that were built rather stoutly for the industry.

That made them interesting, also made them sturdy, so they’d withstand time,” Dahl continued.

At a 1958 meeting of Colorado historians in Golden, a man named John Farr stood up after a presentation on ghost towns and said, ‘We ought to start a club.’ The Ghost Town Club of Colorado was formed shortly thereafter and remains active in educating and preserving Colorado’s towns of yesteryear.

Ethan Knightchilde, a documentary filmmaker and member of the Ghost Town Club, said that many of Colorado’s ghost towns followed a similar trajectory; a discovery was

made, followed by a boom, then a bust — then, the town went “ghost.”

“When a town no longer had a reason to exist, it ceased to exist, in short. And so, a lot of the mining towns were built around a single commodity, whatever ore was in the ground. It’s a limited resource; when it ran out, the people left,” Knightchilde said.

Joan Fields, a member of the Ghost Town Club since 1979, explained the difference between the two main types of ghost towns commonly found in Colorado.

“It depends on where the ghost towns are. Because there are ghost towns out on the Eastern Plains, and a lot of those were based upon agriculture. The mountain towns, of course, if the minerals ran out or it wasn’t a particularly prosperous mine, oftentimes the towns would disappear,” Fields said.

In the roughshod days of the American West, settlers moved like locusts across the country, building up towns around a single commodity with little regard for maintaining anything for the next generation, according to Knightchilde. Most of the settlers were men looking for work in mines or on farms, which begat a largely nomadic population, according to Fields.

“A lot of communities didn’t have families. A lot of women didn’t move out west until they knew things were going to be settled, or there weren’t children involved. So, you’d pack your frying pan and your mule, you’d pack your things, and you’d just go,” Fields said.

Sometimes, according to Knightchilde, the difficulty of moving an entire household’s worth of possessions down a treacherous mountain pass made the task insurmountable, and settlers would simply move to the next town and start over.

Sometimes, the towns would become something else entirely.

“They’d become what we call ‘ghosts of their former selves,’” Dahl said.

Ghosts you see, ghosts you don’t “Technically, towns like Georgetown and Silverton are ghosts,” Knightchilde said. “You’d never want to say that to a resident — they will take offense. But they are shadows of their former selves in terms of size, and their continued existence is because they no longer make a living off of what started them.”

In a way, Knightchilde has a point — Georgetown today largely subsists as a tourist destination, far from its roots as a silver mining camp. When

GHOST TOWN

Heicher added that the “boom or bust” nature of Gilman’s history is representative of larger trends in Colorado history.

“It was once a thriving, kind of utopian community, and people liked living there. Colorado is a boom and bust place. Whether it’s oil or whatever, it’s like a classic example of boom and bust,” Heicher said.

wayside entirely.

Cotopaxi was a community established along the Arkansas river by primarily Russian-Jewish settlers in the 1880s. When the colony failed, most of its residents scattered to other parts of the country, leaving little of the original settlement in place, according to Bathke.

Uravan was a uranium mining town in Montrose County that went bust in the 1980s as the United States began sourcing uranium elsewhere.

Due to radioactive contamination, the town’s buildings were burned, and everything else was thrown in a pit and buried there, according to Fields and Dahl. Nevertheless, the town’s history isn’t entirely forgotten.

“The people of that area have an annual reunion — they still get together, the people who worked there, especially the descendants of those people,” Bathke said.

Some places don’t receive the same treatment. Dakan, a short-lived mining camp in Douglas County, is largely invisible to the naked eye.

“If you go out there today and look, you’ll see a pasture. There is no sign of it whatsoever,” said Larry Schlupp, president of the Larkspur Historical Society. “There were numerous mines out there at one time — it was a gold town. “ Despite the many challenges surrounding the task, efforts to preserve ghost towns have gained steam in recent years.

Dearfield, a historically Black settlement in Weld County, was in danger of seeing its few remaining buildings disintegrate before Colorado’s Most Endangered Places — an initiative of Colorado Preservation, Inc. — stepped in and listed the site on its “priority saves” list in an effort to raise funds and organize preservation efforts.

In doing so, one of the state’s earliest markers of Black independence will live on for future generations to learn from and experience. “(Dearfield) was a colony founded by pioneering Black settlers who understood that having some independence and owning land and maybe farming and building a town was a greater way to achieve independence — freedom — in society,” said Kim Grant, director of Colorado’s Most Endangered Places.

“They actually prospered there for 20 years, and then the Dust Bowl came, and climatic factors intervened that nobody really foresaw and it just ruined the farm economy for nearly everybody. And the town just died away,” Grant continued.

While the town largely died off with its founder, Oliver Toussaint Jackson, in 1948, a few buildings — including a gas station, a diner and Jackson’s homestead — remain in rough shape. Now, with the help of Colorado’s Most Endangered Places, the buildings will be restored as tangible historical artifacts.

A modern-day ghost Unique even among the colorful history of Colorado ghost towns is Gilman, a modern-day ghost that couldn’t survive its own reinvention.

Early settlers arrived in Gil-

Main Street in St. Elmo, a well-preserved ghost town in Chaffee County.

man around 1879, as overcrowding in Leadville forced miners to try their luck elsewhere. The town was formally settled in 1886 amid the Colorado silver boom. Gilman was initially named “Clinton” after John Clinton, a judge and speculator from nearby Red Cliff, but was later renamed in honor of Henry Gilman, a foreman of the Iron Mask Mine.

Like many towns on Battle Mountain, life in Gilman revolved around mining. By 1890, the town had a growing population and a newspaper, the Gilman Enterprise. Then, the silver crash hit.

“With the silver crash of 1893, a lot of the town was abandoned,” said Matthew Mickelson, the local history librarian for Eagle County. “It went from a population of well over 1,000 down to 400 at that point. Soon after that was when they started mining for zinc.”

Faced with similar prospects of other boomtowns of the era — reinvention or abandonment — Gilman chose the latter and became a profitable zinc mining outfit that was purchased by the New Jersey Zinc Company in 1912 with designs of turning the settlement into a company town.

“It was considered a model company town — a good one,” said Kathy Heicher, president of the Eagle County Historical Society and local history author.

Heicher added that during this time, Gilman had a hospital, a store and even a bowling alley. New Jersey Zinc had a reputation for taking care of their workers, and wages and accommodations in Gilman were good throughout much of the 20th century.

The population of Gilman hovered between 300-500 residents, with booms occurring around both world wars as demand for zinc increased.

By the 1980s, however, natural resources in the mines were becoming depleted, and the town was growing less profitable.

On April 11, 1985, residents of Gilman received a letter from the Battle Mountain Corporation — the name of the company that owned and operated the town at the time — stating that they would need to vacate the premises by June 30.

The terms of the departure notice were severe.

“We would like to offer rent-free living until your departure from the

PHOTO BY RYLEE DUNN

premises. In addition, we would like to offer Joe Trujillo’s assistance with packing your belongings, if necessary,” stated the letter from Battle Mountain Corporation.

In an instant, Gilman — a mountain town that had prospered for almost a century — was gone. However, its story as a ghost town was just beginning.

When the Battle Mountain Corporation abandoned the town, the property was completely abandoned, and the water pumps were shut off.

Battle Mountain — which Heicher describes as a catacomb of mines — soon felt the impact of Gilman’s abandonment.

“They shut off the electricity that had been pumping the wastewater out of the mines, and the mines started filling up with water and it got decades of toxic waste in there,” Heicher said. “The water started flowing out into the Eagle River. The Eagle River was flowing orange. You wouldn’t, in the 1980s, eat a fish that you caught in the Eagle River.”

In 1986, the mine was declared an Environmental Protection Agency Superfund site and work began on quelling the contamination from the runoff. Cleanup work on the site was declared completed in 2001, but spikes in pollutants occur to this day, making the decontamination process ongoing.

The pollution at the site has put a damper on plans to revive the area.

Various proposals to make Gilman into a ski resort or additional housing for Vail workers have stalled because of the contamination.

The town was annexed into nearby Minturn in 2008 with the hopes of bringing a ski resort plan to fruition, but the developer backed out shortly thereafter in 2009.

Today, Crave Real Estate Ventures owns the townsite, which has become victimized by vandalism in recent years. Trespassers on the property are frequently cited.

Nevertheless, remnants of Gilman’s heyday can still be found at the site.

“They left in such a hurry, the people who have snuck into town say they went into the doctor’s office and there were X-rays lying around.

One woman, whose dad had worked at the mine, was able to find his old paystub in the mine offices. That’s why people are really intrigued by it,” Heicher said.

‘Take only photos, leave only footprints’ According to Knightchilde, the biggest threat to ghost towns isn’t time, or weather, or even pollutants — it’s people.

“A century and a half of weathering can bring a building down, but people have had a disastrous effect on what remains of these towns,” Knightchilde said.

Knightchilde and his Ghost Town Club compatriots rattle off examples of this problem — Lamartine was robbed of its wood, the Lee Mansion in Capitol City was dismantled for its bricks, Carson has nary a plank of wood without someone’s initials echoed into it, Caribou’s buildings have been tagged heavily with graffiti.

Human interference is not a new phenomenon — as Colorado’s even best-preserved ghost town can attest.

By 1957, St. Elmo’s population had dwindled to just two residents — siblings Tony and Annabelle Stark.

Urban legends detailing the Starks’ descent into madness became fodder for campfire circles, but their true fate was far more insidious.

“They weren’t (mentally incompetent) at all — they weren’t,” Roth said on the cabin steps. “They might have been up here by themselves and they had a neighbor telling everybody they were loony tunes, and so they were declared mentally incompetent and removed.

“Before the ambulance reached Nathrop, all of their valuable possessions were stolen by the person who promoted their insanity and commitment,” Roth continued.

The town eventually was bequeathed to Marie Skogsberg, a family friend of the Starks, who passed down the legacy of preserving St. Elmo to her granddaughter — and Annabelle Stark’s goddaughter — Melanie Roth.

Roth’s efforts have preserved St. Elmo as a snapshot of Colorado’s history, replete with sturdy buildings, historical exhibits and a general store that operates in the summertime. Organizations like the Ghost Town Club and Colorado’s Most Endangered Places have worked to preserve similar sites throughout the state.

“We formed a preservation committee; we raise funds throughout the year and then at the end of each year we will present grants to deserving historical organizations in the state,” Bathke said of the Ghost Town Club. “Typically, they have to be 501(c)(3), so we avoid giving to an individual and we avoid any tax problems.”

Knightchilde said that preservation efforts have galvanized recently, spurred in part by damage incurred by urban development in the late 20th century.

“Preservation efforts have strengthened over the years. It’s not just ghost towns. During America’s SEE GHOST TOWN, P16

elationships forged under high stress situations are some of the strongest people can create. There’s a reason soldiers who serve in combat bond so deeply. Abby Rosebrock’s “Blue Ridge,” is set in another location where people are going through some of the toughest things imaginable and bond over it - a halfway house.

“Everybody knows someone with addiction problems or has gone through it themselves,” said Len Matheo, director and Miners Alley Playhouse executive and artistic director. “This show is cuttingly funny, laugh-out-loud funny, and also jawdroppingly dramatic and serious. It’s about big issues.”

The regional premiere of “Blue Ridge” runs at Miners Alley, 1224 Washington Ave. in Golden, from Friday, April 15 through Sunday, June 5. Performances are at 7:30 p.m.

Thursday, Friday and Saturday and 2 p.m. on Sunday.

The show focuses on Alison (Jessica Robblee), a progressive high school teacher with a rage problem.

After she gets back at her boss, she is sentenced to six months at a churchsponsored halfway house. But she doesn’t appear to be very focused on her own recovery.

“I love this character. She’s a really interesting person, honest and well written,” Robblee said. “It’s a privilege to be in the room with characters like this. The setting feels like a place where people can be really brutally honest, and it’s still filled to the brim with solidarity and a real volatility.”

Not only does the show tackle the challenges of addiction, but the stereotypes and misconceptions that accompany life in the religious South. People make plenty of assumptions based on where a person was raised and what they believe in, and Matheo and the cast wanted to ensure audiences are treated to a more nuanced picture of human beings.

“A real complex script takes audi-

ences on a journey from beginning to end,” he said. “I want everyone to have an experience in the theater where you’re living and observing some other person’s life and you have a cathartic moment. Theater can be a catalyst for Clarke Reader that.”

The human connection is really the driving point of “Blue Ridge,” which Robblee said highlights just how powerful relationships can be in shaping a person’s life.

“What if there was someone in your life you could be more honest with?” she said. “I hope it inspires people to be a little more fearless to have real conversations instead of just scratching the surface. You can get somewhere new by having conversations like that.”

on their ATVs and all they want to do is run up and down the road as fast as they can,” Fields said.

Knightchilde said that traffic at ghost towns has been on the rise.

“The signs are there that they are increasingly being visited. If you are that interested, you will do some research, the way I did, the way everyone I’ve spoken to who has a love for these places did. And in doing so, you’ll gain respect for them. My hope is that once you’ve done that, you’re jazzed to go see the place in person, you know something about its history, and you have a respect for it. You’re not going to run roughshod over it,” Knightchilde said.

The allure of ghost towns varies from person to person. Some are drawn to the sites because they represent a beacon of a bygone era.

Some, like Knightchilde, feel an intrinsic pull to their history.

“There is that haunting feeling that the building is looking back at you. It’s almost like it’s beckoning you to know its history. People came under

love affair with urban renewal during the ‘60s, ‘70s and ‘80s, we lost a lot. And that probably was galvanizing for preservation movements of all kinds,” Kightchilde said.

“You have beautiful historic theatres that were bulldozed for parking lots. And you have people that love those types of buildings that can only see so much of that before they band together to do something about it,” Kightchilde continued.

Members of the Ghost Town Club said that part of their mission is to educate people on the history of ghost towns, which they hope will in turn instill respect among visitors for the historic sites they go to.

Fields said that one of the taglines of the Ghost Town Club is “Take only photos, leave only footprints.”

unbelievable odds to get to this place and they brought their hopes, their dreams, their fears. They lived and died in these places. There’s this weight of history surrounding you,” Knightchilde said.

“It’s part of our history. Many of us like to preserve our history,” Bathke added. “They say, ‘If you ignore your history, you’re only going to repeat the mistakes that were made in the past.’ There’s always that longing to go back to our roots, and that’s all part of it.”

Members of the Ghost Town Club understandably bristled at the mention of vandalism.

“Vandalism makes my blood boil because that just shows someone that’s completely lacking in any kind of sensitivity,” Kngihtchilde said.

“You need tangible things to remind you of where you’ve been, who you’ve been, as a society,” Kngihtchilde continued.

For Coloradans of nearly all backgrounds, ghost towns are exactly that.

PARKS FROM PAGE 11

technology aids like Lot Spot, a smartphone app that Jeffco uses to provide real time updates on park crowding and can recommend a nearby alternative. State parks are much more spread out, though, than county open space, and alternate choices may not be practical.

The public appears to be adapting to shuttle use as a way to control car overcrowding, and park planners have noticed. Eldorado’s shuttle system will run again in 2022. Shuttles to Rocky Mountain National Park’s Bear Lake are now an essential part of park operations. Buses now operate to control entry to Maroon Bells and Hanging Lake. Expect more.

“Do we have an actual numberof-people problem, or do we have a number-of-cars problem? Because there are different solutions there,” Weiss said. “And shuttles are of course part of that.”

Another part could be other public transportation, added Weiss, who lives in Jefferson County. “Here,

there are no RTD routes that get you to open spaces. That’s a problem.”

Open space managers at all levels of government are doing a better job consulting with each other and with private businesses expert in usage information and technology aids, said Tate Watkins, a research fellow at Montana’s free market oriented Property and Environment Research Center.

Reservation systems at Arches and Rocky Mountain national parks are closely watched by state and county parks managers, Watkins said.

Technology companies can offer ideas on counting parking space use, “frequent flyer” perks, and integrating real-time crowding information on apps that can spread out park visitors.

Backcountry users of Great Smoky Mountains National Park — which saw 14.1 million visitors in 2021 — initially balked years ago at implementing a $4 reservation fee for remote camping spots, Watkins noted. Now they think it’s a bargain, and are relieved to know there’s a spot open for them at the end of their day.

of creativity and opportunity for experiment,” he said.

Open for all Open space fans and park managers worry that new layers of control and costs will widen the already large gap between tourists and outdoors enthusiasts with time and income, and those on tight budgets and less access to technology.

Fees are adding up at every level, Eldorado Canyon hiker Jeff Paquette said.

“So now you have the annual pass for your state, the annual pass for your county, and before you know it, it’s going to be for all open space,” he said.

The Sierra Club is among those fighting for more open space and recreation opportunities closer to cities, Ostfeld said. By Sierra Club’s definition of “nearby,” 100 million Americans lack easy access to open space.

“We must be very careful to ensure that the actions of public land managers don’t perpetuate the status quo, with many communities already feeling unwelcome or unsafe in some of our national and more remote parks and public lands,” Ostfeld said.

Being mindful of everyone’s time and resources is key to designing open space access, Weiss said.

“One thing we’ve learned from all of this is that any sort of time system where a clock turns over and everyone is mashing a button to try to get in, that is not fair and equitable,” he said. Some space needs to be reserved for lottery or last-minute access for those whose lives can’t revolve around one reservation window.

‘We must be very careful to ensure that the actions of public land managers don’t perpetuate the status quo ...’

Jackie Ostfeld, director of Sierra Club’s Outdoors for All campaign

Colorado leaders say they are aware of all these pitfalls and will keep working to avoid them. The new $29 state parks pass linked to motor vehicle registration will bring in money to add new parks, experiment with reservations, expand shuttle systems and more, DNR’s Gibbs said.

He said he still prefers to look at access as a good problem to have.

“In the long run,” Gibbs said, “we want people to get outdoors. I mean, this is Colorado.”

Distribution issues wipe out Denver’s supply of overdose-reversing drugs

BY KYLE COOKE ROCKY MOUNTAIN PBS

In mid-February, the Denver Department of Public Health and Environment (DDPHE) announced that Denver residents could order fentanyl testing strips and the opioid overdose-reversing drug naloxone directly from the city, free of charge.

More than one month later, DDPHE has received nearly 4,500 requests for naloxone — often referred to as Narcan, a name-brand version of the drug — and fentanyl testing strips. Distribution issues, coupled with high demand, have resulted in just a few people receiving their orders.

In an email to Rocky Mountain PBS, DDPHE officials said the department does not have any naloxone in house.

“We have placed an order for more than 4,000 kits from the distributor, but they have not been

shipped which tells us they likely do not have them in stock,” said Courtney Meihls, a marketing and communications specialist with DDPHE. Meihls said the free naloxone distribution program started in September 2021 but was more publicized in mid-February of this year, including by DDPHE. From September to mid-February, DDPHE received just 380 orders for naloxone. The department was able to fill those orders, but has become overwhelmed by the number of requests since mid-February.

“So the increase, while amazing because of the number of people who want to help their neighbors, is quite dramatic and depleted our supply in-house,” Meihls said. She could not provide an estimated date for when the city’s order would be filled.

The limited supply is a continuation of a problem that Rocky Mountain PBS reported on in November:

individuals and organizations are struggling to obtain drugs like naloxone while the state’s opioid overdose crisis worsens.

From 2000 to 2020, the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CPDHE) recorded 15,999 overdoses deaths in the state.

Nearly one in five of those deaths occurred in Denver.

Drug overdose deaths in Colorado, per year, from 2000 to 2020.

(Credit: CDPHE) The crisis has only gotten worse: CDPHE recorded 1,757 total drug overdose deaths among Colorado residents in 2021, a record high.

Two-thirds of those deaths involved opioids.

In Denver, the surge in opioid deaths has been driven by fentanyl, a synthetic painkiller that is “similar to morphine but about 100 times more potent,” according to the Drug Enforcement Agency. In 2021, 49.8% of drug-related deaths in Denver involved fentanyl. In

2019, for comparison, that figure was 24.9%.

Demand for the overdose-reversing drugs in Denver rose after five people died of suspected fentanyl overdoses in a Commerce City apartment last month.

Colorado has seen one of the sharpest rises in fentanyl-related deaths in the country in recent years. In the last two years, fentanyl-related deaths have increased five-fold in Colorado, according to a recent report by the nonprofit advocacy group Families Against Fentanyl. Between 2015 and 2021, fentanyl deaths increased more than 1,000% in Colorado, the report found.

Student teachers are rarely paid Colorado lawmakers, school leaders want to ensure they’re compensated

p w l t m

i c w e w w t s

BY ERICA BREUNLIN THE COLORADO SUN

Near the end of last semester, Jorge Cabral’s budget was on the brink. He carefully watched how he spent each dollar, limiting his purchases to essentials like shampoo and toilet paper and cutting corners with meals by buying rice and beans to last through each week.

On top of getting no pay for his full-time student teaching job at Brighton’s Vikan Middle School, Cabral had had to shell out $90 to take an exam that would secure his teacher license early last year.

“That’s two weeks of groceries if you plan it out right,” he said.

“And good groceries, too.”

Cabral, who graduated in December from the University of Northern Colorado, found himself “budgeting to the max” to make ends meet as an unpaid student teacher — a financial challenge most Colorado educators grapple with on the path to becoming a licensed teacher.

Now, as Colorado school districts struggle to fill classrooms with certified educators, lawmakers aim to relieve some of the financial burdens with a proposed stipend program to provide student teachers help with living expenses.

House Bill 1220, introduced in February, would also help students pay for expensive licensure exams and direct state departments to establish another way of licensing educators.

Proponents of the measure are optimistic that by tackling some of the major financial hurdles for teachers in training and expanding the ways a teacher candidate can become licensed, Colorado can recruit more educators and diversify its K-12 workforce, which has long run short of teachers of color.

predominantly white, middle class women who graduated from college and were expected to student teach without compensation, that makeup is shifting.

“The landscape of who we’re trying to recruit into the workforce is changing, and if we want a diverse workforce, we can’t have that same expectation,” Qualman said. “If we want more teachers in the field, we have to be able to support them through to completion and licensure.”

Cabral, who student taught at Greeley West High School and now teaches world cultures at Vikan Middle School in Brighton, felt lucky with a scholarship from UNC to help with living expenses last semester. He scraped by, determined to reach the finish line and earn his licensure so that he could have a classroom of his own.

“If it came to the point where I had to take out extra student loans, I would do it because it’s really something that I love,” Cabral said.

He stuck with teaching in hopes of inspiring students with backgrounds similar to his own. The Latino educator said that during his time as a student teacher, Latino boys who spoke only Spanish would ask him about his experience preparing to be a teacher. He filled them in on the process of applying to college — something he plans to keep passing onto students.

Jorge Cabral, who teaches sixth through eighth grade social studies at Vikan Middle School in Brighton, started teaching full time in January 2022. (Olivia Sun, The Colorado Sun via Report for America) “There’s always the option of getting a higher education,” said Cabral, who doesn’t recall having any Latino teachers in Colorado and Wyoming, where he lived in elementary and high school.

Many students of color in Colorado have similar stories, rarely encountering a teacher who looks like them throughout most of their K-12 classes. Yet the state has inched forward with diversity among educators and is “more diverse now than it has ever been,” particularly as it’s drawn more Hispanic professionals into teaching, said Colleen O’Neil, associate commissioner of the Educator Talent Unit at the Colorado Department of Education.

During the 2015-16 school year, about 13.5% of the state’s teachers identified as Hispanic, O’Neil said, while last year, that percentage swelled to about 18.4%.

“That’s not enough, but we want to celebrate the fact that we have been able to open some more doors,” O’Neil said, adding, “we still have schools where kids aren’t seeing teachers who represent them.”

CDE conducted a minority teacher report in 2014 and followed up with a listening tour in 2017 and repeatedly heard from educators of color that they didn’t have positive school experiences and may not have “seen that person in

Climate bills have drawn most lobbying in legislature Spending continues to rise, with Xcel Energy topping list

BY SANDRA FISH THE COLORADO SUN

Efforts to address climate change are among the most lobbied measures at the Capitol this year as a host of businesses and nonprofits seek to pass, block or amend them.

Five of the top 10 lobbied bills this year at the General Assembly address greenhouse gas emissions, according to a Colorado Sun analysis of lobbying disclosures. Others on the top 10 list include measures seeking to prohibit employers from punishing employees who use cannabis when they aren’t working, which was rejected last week, and to ban flavored nicotine and tobacco products.

Nearly 600 individual lobbyists and lobbying firms are representing more than 1,100 clients before the legislature and state agencies this year. And spending by those clients to influence government continues to rise as the legislature enters the home stretch of its 2022 lawmaking term.

Spending from July 2021 through the end of February totaled $29.4 million.

That’s up from $26.2 million during the same period of the 2020-21 fiscal year and $24.5 million in 2019-20.

Most-lobbied bills not always most publicized It’s not always the case that the most-lobbied bills at the Capitol are the ones that garner the most public attention.

Take the measure to affirm abortion access in Colorado and prevent local governments from hindering access to abortion or birth control. It drew late-

THE COLORADO SUN

night public hearings and a 24-hour House floor debate, yet only 53 lobbyists registered to represent 31 clients on the legislation, House Bill 1279. (It’s now awaiting Gov. Jared Polis’ signature.)

Senate Bill 153, which seeks to block insider threats to Colorado’s election system, prompted plenty of emails and phone calls from opponents who believe false claims that the 2020 presidential election was stolen. But the measure has drawn only 36 lobbyists representing 17 clients.

None of those clients opposed the bill.

That’s considerably fewer than the 116 clients trying to influence the top two bills in The Sun’s lobbying analysis: Senate Bill 138, which sought to limit the sale of of gas-powered lawn equipment, and House

Bill 1152, which would have prevented employers from taking action against workers who use cannabis products on their own time.

(The former was amended, and the latter was voted down last week by a House committee.)

And 141 lobbyists are representing 87 clients on House Bill 1064, a measure aimed at keeping flavored nicotine products away from young people.

Some of the most lobbied bills this year didn’t make it very far in the legislative process. In fact, three of the top 10 lobbied measures never made it past their first committee.

House Bill 1138 would have given employers an income-tax credit to encourage employees to use alternative transportation to and from work but failed

9-1 in the House Finance Committee. Senate Bill 131 sought to restrict the use of pesticides in certain places in an effort to “protect pollinators,” but it failed 6-1 in the Senate Agriculture and Natural Resources Committee.

And March 24, a House committee rejected the measure allowing employees to use marijuana on their own time.

All but one of the other top 10 bills are still going through the legislative process. A measure to protect whistleblowers in public health emergencies awaits action on the Senate floor.

Top spenders often lobbying on top bills Xcel Energy is signed up to lobby on seven of the 10 most-lobbied bills at the Capitol this year. The company is also the top spender

Spending nearly $286,000, Xcel pays eight lobbyists, three of whom are employees and the rest contractors.

The American Association of Retired Persons, or AARP, was second in lobbying spending, paying two employees nearly $144,000 to lobby on more than 70 bills, including two in the top 10.

The Colorado Association of Home Builders lobbied on eight of the top 10 measures, while paying four individual lobbyists a total of $132,000.

Arvada West soaks in victory over Wheat Ridge

BY DENNIS PLEUSS JEFFCO PUBLIC SCHOOLS

ARVADA — You never know when practicing leftfooted volleys from the top of the goalie box will pay off.

It paid off big time for Arvada West senior Ashlyn Craig on March 29 at the North Area Athletic Complex. A-West junior Ellie Pugliese took the corner kick in the 13th minute and placed it right where Craig wanted it at the top of the goalie box without a Wheat Ridge defender close by.

“Me and my friend (Chaylee Nicole Rodriguez) will go out and train on crosses,” Craig said of the eventual

game-winning goal in a 4-1 girls soccer non-league victory for A-West over Wheat Ridge. “I took it with my left foot. I honestly didn’t think I’d make it, but after all those practices I was able to bend it down perfectly.”

Rodriguez was the first Wildcat player to give Craig a big hug in celebration after the best looking goal of the night.

“That was awesome,” AWest coach Troy Gette said of Craig’s goal that put the Wildcats up 2-0 early on. “It is definitely one of our runs that we do on our set plays.”

A-West (2-2-1 record) got off to a good start with freshman Alina Noga flip-

ping in a goal past Wheat Ridge goalie Ariel Martin in the 3rd minute in cold and rainy conditions at the NAAC. “We got after them early,” Gette said. “That was kind of our goal to come out and get a quick start. You never know that the weather is going to do.”

Wheat Ridge (3-1) — ranked No. 9 in last week’s CHSAANow.com Class 4A girls soccer poll — did answer in the 15th minute with a goal by junior Sadie Powers. However, Rodriguez put in a goal of her own in the 38th minute to put the Wildcats back up by two goals.

“That was a situation where it was a few minutes before the half and the wind started to pick up,” Wheat Ridge coach Dan Watkins said of Rodriguez’s goal late in the first half. “We turned off for just a second and they made a great play stepping to the ball first. It was definitely an uphill battle being down two at the break.”

The rain began to pick up after junior Payton Reed made it a 4-1 lead for the Wildcats in the 49th minute.

A-West was able to control of the midfield for the rest of the game to get its first victory after spring break.

“We have been pushing each other hard to get ready

for those big games against Ralston Valley, Valor and Chatfield,” Craig said of getting ready for Class 5A Jeffco League play that begins in two weeks. “This was a good win for us.”

A-West edged in a 0-0 tie the next night at NAAC against Golden before suffering a 3-0 loss to Fairview on Saturday.

“We are battling through a lot of injuries,” Gette said. “We are still waiting for three girls coming back from ACL (injuries) last year and already lost one to an ACL this year. I’m very happy with the group that we’ve got. It’s the most

LAKEWOOD — Back in 2002, Arvada West senior Danny Vais was one of the elite two-sport (basketball and baseball) athletes in Colorado.

Twenty years later, Vais has returned to his alma mater as the head baseball coach for the Wildcats.

“I’m excited to be back here with this group of guys,” Vais said Friday, April 1, after a non-league game at Green Mountain High School. “I’m excited to be back coaching in the city where I grew up. We just try to teach them everything that we can. I live and die with every pitch with these

guys and enjoy myself.”

A-West (7-2 record) has more to celebrate after a dominating 18-2 victory against Green Mountain.

The Wildcats cranked out 17 hits and was able to induce the 10-run mercy rule after the fifth inning to get backto-back wins on back-to-back days after defeating Monarch 9-3 on Thursday.

Lead-off hitter and freshman Tate Deal was instrumental going 4-for-5 from the plate with three doubles and 4 RBIs. “The tools speak for themselves,” Vais said of the freshman. “He plays the game even-keel the same way we preach to all of our guys. Play the game hard, SEE BASEBALL, P25

but play the way you don’t get too high or too low.”

A-West held a 4-2 lead heading to the fourth inning. The Wildcats broke things open with a 7-run top of the fourth, highlighted by junior pitcher Seth Dreeszen helping himself out with 3-run home run to opposite field.

“Those innings are so helpful as a pitcher,” Dreeszen said of the Wildcats’ back-to-back 7-run inning in the fourth and fifth that pushed the late to a 16-run advantage. “I love seeing all the guys in the dugout get excited. I’m really happy to see everyone succeed.”

Seniors Mason Hagel-Pitt and Jaxon Gray, along with Deal and Dreeszen all had multiple-hit games.

“Offensively, we’ve got the guys to do it,” Vais said of the Wildcats’ fourth game this season scoring double-digit runs. “They did a really good job working counts and making it hard on the pitchers where they had to come back into the zone.”

Green Mountain senior Corbin Jantzer took the loss on the mound for the Rams. Jantzer pitched into the fourth inning before being lifted.

Sophomore Craig Busse and freshman Demetreus Padilla finished on the mound for the Rams over the final two innings.

Dreeszen improved his record to 3-1 on the hill this year while holding a 3.23 ERA. “To be honest, he (Dreeszen) has been doing that for us all year,” Vais said of Dreeszen’s his four innings of work while giving up just two runs on four hits. “He attacks the zone and makes minor adjustments from inning to inning for what the situation dictates.”

Green Mountain seniors Dylan Hearn and Caton Lodice knocked in the Rams’ lone two runs in the third inning that cut A-West’s lead to 4-2.

“I felt really good,” said Dreeszen, who ended his outing striking out

talent I’ve had in a long time, that’s for sure. We should be good.”

It was the first loss of the season

the side in the bottom of the fourth inning. “I struggled a little early on.

I tried to relax and get myself back up on the mound. Just had to stay composed.”

A-West junior Tucker Deal pitched the bottom of the fifth inning for the Wildcats.

Dreeszen admitted that he struggled a bit on the mound last year during his sophomore campaign. He worked hard during the off-season to have a bounce-back year.

A-West has non-league games against Rocky Mountain and Chaparral next week. The Wildcats begin Class 5A Jeffco League play April 19 against Columbine.

“I feel like we have a very good chance to put some good games together once league comes,” Dreeszen said. “Coach Vais has done

a fantastic job since he’s got here.”

Green Mountain begins its 4A Jeffco League play against Wheat Ridge next week. The Rams (1-5) host the Farmers on Tuesday, April 5, and then are at Wheat Ridge on

for the Farmers after wins against Doherty and Denver North.

“We’ve got great kids who are working extremely hard,” Watkins said. “We are building and growing to make our team better as the season goes on. We’ll learn from tonight and move forward. We’ll

make sure we are ready for league play.”

The 4A Jeffco League looks loaded as usual. Evergreen — defending 4A Jeffco League champion and 4A state runner-up last season — is currently ranked No. 1 in 4A. Wheat Ridge defeated Skyview 12-2 on

C R O S S W O R D LEGISLATURE P U Z Z L E FROM PAGE 22

David Foster $133,000, while the retail council came in eighth in spending, paying The Howes Group nearly $128,000.

COPIC, the state’s primary medical malpractice insurer, didn’t lobby on any of the top 10 bills. It paid Nexus Policy Group $131,000 to lobby on six other measures.

Several groups spending to influence public on issues Reaching out to lawmakers or regulators isn’t the only way lobbyists or their clients try to influence public policy.

Some also report spending to get the public to lobby lawmakers on issues.

Advance Colorado Action lobbyist Michael Fields, for example, reported spending $300,000 on lobbying so far this year. Of that, $200,000 went to digital ads on fentanyl penalties, several of which target Democratic lawmakers running in competitive state Senate contests this year. Another $100,000 went to digital ads and direct mail opposing a measure to allow government employees to bargain for pay raises. Advance Colorado Action is a nonprofit that doesn’t report its donors and changed its name earlier this year after operating as Unite for Colorado.

Jesse Mallory, executive director of Americans for Prosperity’s Colorado branch, reported spending nearly $89,000 on digital ads, door hangers and canvassing to encourage lawmakers to enact tax refunds. Some of the spending also encouraged opposition to Senate Bill 138 on lawnmowers and other

measures.

And Liz Welch, a lobbyist for the national American Civil Liberties Union, reported spending nearly $51,000 on polling and lobbying research.

But those amounts pale compared to the million-dollar ad campaigns of recent years by the Partnership for America’s Health Care Future, last year’s top lobbying spender. That group opposed a measure aimed at reducing health care costs through a dramatic increase in insurance regulations.

That group paid a lobbyist $20,000 in August, and ended its Colorado lobbying activities after that.

How we did this analysis The Colorado Sun received data on lobbying income and bills lobbied by lobbyists and their clients from the Secretary of State’s Office.

It analyzed the data using Python programming, making best efforts to standardize client names, and removing income paid by lobbying firms to lobbyists, which can result in double counting.

In Excel, additional records are removed that report income from clients instead of the lobbying firms paying the lobbyists.

In identifying the most-lobbied measures, we identified the top measures lobbied by clients and lobbyists.

Then data on individual bills was downloaded, cleaned and analyzed.

This story is from The Colorado Sun, a journalist-owned news outlet based in Denver and covering the state. For more, and to support The Colorado Sun, visit coloradosun. com. The Colorado Sun is a partner in the Colorado News Conservancy, owner of Colorado Community Media.

New law bans openly carrying firearms near voting locations No Republican legislators supported bill meant to prevent intimidation

BY BENTE BIRKELAND COLORADO PUBLIC RADIO

Gov. Jared Polis signed a bill into law on March 30 that bans anyone in Colorado from openly carrying a firearm within 100 feet of a voting location, unless their property falls within that buffer.

The Vote Without Fear Act was a priority election bill for Democrats in charge of the state legislature. Supporters say the law is needed to prevent the harassment of voters and poll workers, arguing that the current intimidation law can be difficult to enforce.

It passed with no support from Republicans, who argued it infringed on Second Amendment rights.

Supporters say the bill will help prevent voter intimidation Arapahoe County Clerk and Recorder Joan Lopez attended the bill signing ceremony at the state capitol and recalled an incident that occurred on the eve of the 2020 presidential election. Two men came to the county’s administrative office in Littleton.

“Came in with cameras, filming voters, open carrying, and just try-

ing to intimidate voters. And then they moved to the front of the building where every voter had to pass them to get to the voting center,” she said.

Lopez said people complained and the election judges were really “shook up.”

“Even though the police were called and our attorneys were involved, there was nothing we could do at that point because they weren’t violating any laws. Now it’s going to be law and they won’t be able to do this ever again,” Lopez said.

Democratic state Rep. Jennifer Bacon is one of the main sponsors of House Bill 1086. She said voter intimidation has a long legacy in the U.S, especially against communities of color. She said it’s part of her own family’s history when they lived in Jackson Mississippi.

“I want to thank the NAACP. We have been fighting for this for a century in this country to be able to vote without fear,” she said.

Opponents argued that since Colorado is an open-carry state (with a few exceptions), the bill infringes on Second Amendment rights, and could make people who openly carry a firearm feel less secure.

The new law is among several election security measures Democrats are putting forward this session.

House Bill 1273 would make it a misdemeanor to threaten or intimi-

date state and local election workers for doing their jobs. It’s still awaiting its first committee hearing. It also would make it illegal to publish the personal information of election workers — a practice known as doxing — and allow those workers and their immediate family members to remove their private information from open records requests. And it would increase the penalties for threats and intimidation.

Senate Bill 153 is in response to the security breach in Mesa County.

Republican Clerk and Recorder Tina Peters and her Deputy Clerk Belinda Knisley are facing multiple indictments for election tampering

and misconduct. A federal investigation is ongoing.

It would add new security requirements for counties, requiring constant video surveillance of election equipment, stricter rules about who can access equipment and increase penalties for potential security breaches in an effort to try to prevent insider security threats.

The bill cleared the Senate with Democratic support and one Republican yes vote.

Date: MARCH 31, 2022 Re: Notice of Proposed Declaration Amendment The purpose of this notice is to provide written notice of the proposed Amended and Restated Condominium Declaration for Westgate Square Townhomes (“Declaration Amendment”) to first mortgagees of the units within the community of the Westgate Square Townhomes Association, Inc. (“Association”), pursuant to C.R.S. § 38-33.3217(1)(b)(I). The Association, through its Board of Directors and with assistance from legal counsel, has prepared the proposed Declaration Amendment to the existing Condominium Declaration for Westgate Square Townhomes, which is located in the County of Jefferson, State of Colorado, and was recorded in the real property records of the County of Jefferson, Colorado on January 6, 1972, at Reception No. 464374, as it may have been amended and supplemented from time to time (“Declaration”).

The consent of sixty percent (60%) of first mortgagees is required to approve the proposed Declaration Amendment, pursuant to Paragraph 18 of the Declaration. The general purpose and nature of the Declaration Amendment is to: (1) include stronger covenants prohibiting nuisances and supporting the existing rules and regulations regarding, for example, parking and pets; (2) include a much more complete list of items, and explains in detail whether Owners or the Association are responsible for maintaining and repairing them; (3) require Owners to carry insurance covering their personal property in their units, require their insurance to cover any deductibles and any special assessment resulting from an insured loss, which will help avoid gaps in coverage and help keep all Owners from subsidizing repairs for Owners who failed to obtain insurance; (4) include common sense limits on leasing, and clarifies the responsibilities of landlords and tenants. For example, all leases must be for at least 6 months.

No units may be used as a hotel (e.g., AirBnb or VRBO) or for transient purposes or for timeshares.

A first mortgagee shall be deemed to have approved the proposed Declaration Amendment, if said first mortgagee does not deliver to the Association a negative response within sixty (60) days after the date of this notice, pursuant to C.R.S. § 38-33.3-217(1)(b)(II). You may deliver your response in writing to the Association, c/o Moeller Graf, P.C., 385 Inverness Pkwy., Suite 200, Englewood, CO 80112, but you are not required to respond.

Please review this notice carefully. It may affect first mortgagees’ rights in the Lot(s) within the Association’s community in which first mortgagees may have an interest.

A copy of the proposed Declaration Amendment may be obtained by contacting Moeller Graf, P.C., at 720-279-2568 or via email at bahmeti@moellergraf.com.
