Arvada homeless ministry in talks with city to move out of Olde Town

BY RYLEE DUNN RDUNN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Months after the City of Arvada held a study session to address the issue of homelessness within the city, city team members have begun meeting with representatives from Mission Arvada — a homeless ministry based at e Rising Church in Olde Town — to discuss moving Mission Arvada out of the historic district.

e homeless ministry has been at the center of a debate between city stakeholders over its location in the heart of Arvada’s most tra c commercial district.

ere are some things that kids cannot learn in an online classroom.

at’s why Destinations Career Academy of Colorado social studies teacher Hunter Sta ord started Outdoor Leadership for CODCA students.

“Outdoor Leadership is a Career and Technical Education class at

CODCA, a public, mostly online high school that serves students across the state of Colorado,” a school spokesperson said.

e class is hybrid in that it is conducted via Zoom for much of the year. e students have lectures, book discussions and projects, but four times a year, they get to go outside for the class, too.

e course is written, taught and guided by Sta ord. He designs the

lessons for the Zoom classes and the outdoor trips. ey take about four trips a year.

e students went backpacking near the Loveland Ski Area in August, went out to earn their Wilderness First Aid certi cation near Westminster in October and snowshoed three miles to High Lonesome Hut near Fraser in February.

On all of these trips, the students learned some kind of survival skills, like avalanche safety, navigation and environmental safety.

e nal trip was a rafting trip

Additionally, Mission Arvada (while the two names are sometimes used interchangeably by stakeholders, Mission Arvada refers to the homeless ministry and e Rising refers to the church congregation) is struggling to pay its employees because the City of Arvada declined to sign o on Mission Arvada’s application for a Department of Housing and Urban Development Emergency Solutions Grant last September, according to Mission Arvada Program Director Karen Cowling.

Mission Arvada serves about 60-65 homeless individuals a day — roughly 500 per quarter — and has helped over 165 people get into permanent housing over the past

two years, according to Cowling. e ministry works with people experiencing homelessness and works to help them apply for jobs, housing, mental health and career support, and other necessities.

Arvada City Manager Lorie Gillis explained that the decision to decline signing o on Mission Arvada’s application was prompted by the ministry’s location in Olde Town — a factor that Gillis said also in uenced the city team to begin examining the possibility of helping Mission Arvada move locations.

“We just recognized that there’s an opportunity for e Rising to be in a space that’s more functional and e cient for them to continue doing the good work they’re doing,” Gillis said.

“We’re just working with them on considering locations, there really isn’t an agreement as far as what, transactionally, the city will be doing,” Gillis continued. “We’re just trying to help them out. ey’re in Olde Town, in close proximity to an elementary school and commercial units, so it’s not an ideal place for a navigation center for unhoused individuals. ere have been some unfortunate incidents as a result.”

As the jurisdiction where Mission Arvada is located, the City of Arvada

would have needed to sign o on the application for it to be submitted. Since it did not, Mission Arvada was ineligible to apply for the grant.

Now, Cowling says the ministry will lose its funding for the salary of Berzette Green — a case manager who Cowling says has been instrumental in helping homeless individuals get into permanent housing.

“My case manager is a person with prior lived experience with homelessness,” Cowling said of Green.

“She helps support her mother and daughter who both have disabilities. She has to have a full salary. ...We’re on a string and a prayer right now.”

e ministry has set up a fundraiser that has been sent out to e Rising’s community, but Cowling says that despite the help, she is struggling to see how the ministry will a ord to keep Green on past the next few months.

A recent grant has freed up $15,000 for Green’s salary, plus an anonymous donation of $5,000, which, combined, should keep Green gainfully employed through roughly December. Past that, Cowling says, lies uncertainty.

Ongoing debate about Mission Arvada’s location

Cowling asserted that Mission Arvada is the only true wraparound homeless service center in Je erson County. e ministry o ers a variety of services including housing navigation, showers, laundry service, mental health assistance and vital

document recovery.

ree years ago, Je erson County stated its desire to build two homeless navigation centers in the area to provide a full spectrum of services for unhoused people.

Last March, the City of Arvada spent $2.75 million for a property located at 51st Avenue and Marshall Street in order to submit a bid for one of the navigation centers. e county is still in the process of deciding which sites will become home to the navigation centers, and ground has not been broken on either one.

Former Arvada City Manager Mark Deven — whose tenure with the city ended with his retirement e ective Oct. 7, 2022 — cited the county’s plan in an email to Cowling explaining why the city wouldn’t sign o on the HUD grant application, according to an email obtained by the Arvada Press dated Sept. 27, 2022.

“ e City of Arvada has been asked to support the Emergency Services Grant Application that Mission Arvada/ e Rising has been invited to submit to the Colorado Department of Local A airs,” Deven said. “Respectfully, the City of Arvada has declined to support this application.

“ e City is currently engaged in a regional collaboration to establish two housing navigation centers in Je erson County… As part of this initiative, the City Council approved the purchase of a site for the North Je co Housing Navigation Center at 5045 Marshall Street,” Deven continued.

Deven then went on to say that he felt that Mission Arvada’s location in Olde Town precluded it from being a suitable homeless ministry.

“Mission Arvada’s location in Olde Town is within close proximity to a private elementary school as well as businesses and residential units,” Deven said. “ is is not an appropriate location for a housing navigation center… ese conditions have become a burden to the Olde Town community.”

Deven concluded his email by recommending that Mission Arvada nd a new location.

“In the course of discussing your request with council members and City team members, it was suggested that Mission Arvada could seek a partnership with another service provider wherein navigation services could be provided in a more appropriate location,” Deven said.

“ e City and the community must focus on a more permanent, sustainable, well coordinated and systematic approach to addressing the needs of unhoused individuals and families within a more appropriate location,” Deven continued.

Moving Mission Arvada out of Olde Town is a position shared by other important power brokers in the community. In emails between local stakeholders obtained by the Arvada Press exchanged around Christmas of 2022, Arvada Mayor Marc Williams seemed to support the idea of shuttering the homeless ministry.

“As you know, there are several of us who want to shut down the Rising in Olde Town,” Williams said. “I get emails from their supporters, but their support is misplaced… Enough is enough.”

Steven Howards, an Olde Town building owner, echoed Williams’ sentiments.

“I too own a signi cant amount of property in Olde Town and am very frustrated,” Howards said. “ e Rising Church is a crummy neighbor that lacks compassion for the Olde Town community, which is a sad, sad commentary.”

Cowling attributes a lot of the issues discussed by stakeholders to communication breakdowns between di erent government agencies and service providers in their jurisdictions.

“I think part of the issue is that there’s some breakdown in collaboration with the county and with the cities and how to make that all happen in terms of funding and whatnot,” Cowling said. “So yeah, we’re the only navigation center and housing navigation center and a shelter in pretty much all of Je erson County that does what we do.”

An unlikely partnership

Despite both sides seemingly being at odds with each other, the Arvada city team and Mission Arvada sta have come together recently to discuss a solution. On the table, Cowling said, is a move out of Olde Town.

“We’ve been working with the city, because they initiated us working with them… ey basically came to us and wanted to start working together to have us move out of Olde Town,” Cowling said. “ ey want to help us do that… So, I guess, like help us nd a property — there’s a lot of T’s that need to be crossed, and I’s that need to be dotted, obviously, very major, long process.”

At the helm of the city’s delegation, Cowling says, is Gillis, who Cowling said has o ered to help Mission Arvada with a real estate search, supplying an architect to help gauge building feasibility, and the potential to expand the ministry, which currently has a capacity of 75 individuals per day.

Gillis said that discussions are still in the preliminary stages and explained that no o cial agreements have been reached as of yet.

“Part of this is establishing our relationship with them,” Gillis said.

“We’ve had a lot of that, we’ve had a lot of conversations You start slow on things like this and have the right conversations. We’re so committed to determining sustainable, well-coordinated, approaches to the needs of unhoused individuals in our community and partner with community organizations that provide services.

At the end of the day, the decision is up to e Rising’s congregation, which will have the nal say on the ministry’s decision to move. e church would follow the ministry

MISSION ARVADA

out of Olde Town; e Rising has occupied the corner of 57th and Webster for over 30 years.

Nevertheless, moving out of Olde Town could be a workable solution for both sides, Cowling said, as long as the new location is accessible by public transportation. Another condition, she added, was that if Mission Arvada moves, the City of

Arvada must promise to sign o on any grants the ministry might apply for.

“I think as long as there was public transportation to our site, and it was in a fairly visible location, and it was very close to the G line speci cally it would be a transition like anything is a change; that would be a little awkward at rst,” Cowling said. “But I think… clients will know, we’ll make a concerted e ort for them to know where we are.”

Cowling said that her team has met with city sta members about

4-5 times, which Gillis con rmed. She characterized recent meetings with city team members in more favorable terms than those which took place months ago.

“We really would not have been (considering moving) if they hadn’t approached us,” Cowling said. “But we were trying to look at the pros and cons. ...Again, not my decision, it’s our church congregation’s decision. It also gives me some encouragement that the city is meeting with us on a regular basis.”

Gillis said the potential partner-

ship is spurred by the city’s evolving understanding of the homelessness issue, and said she hopes both sides can let go of what has been, up until this point, a rocky relationship.

“We know that e Rising is a player and we went to be their partner,” Gillis said. “Some of this is just timing, too. We’re learning, and we’re working with our regional partners. ere’s not a playbook. We’re really committed to the collaboration and it will really require that all of us step forward, move forward and let go of the past.”

Survey of 2,500 UK Households With Heat Pumps Showed 81% Satisfaction Level

Because of their higher fossil fuel costs, other countries are far ahead of the United States in the adoption of home electrification, including for heating. The United Kingdom is one of them, and The Guardian recently reported on a survey of 2,500 households which have made that switch. I’m not aware of a similar survey here, where there may not be enough heat pump households to survey.

HVAC contractors in America have been slow to offer or recommend the replacement of gas forced air and gas boiler heating systems with heat pumps, mostly because they are unfamiliar with them. When a homeowner needs to replace their current HVAC system, the vendor who has been servicing that system is most likely to recommend replacing it with a “newer, more efficient” model. So far, I have found only one company which installs and services both traditional gas-fueled heating systems and electric heat pump systems — always recommending the latter. That company, which I have mentioned previously, is Sensible Heating & Cooling, 720-876-7166.

Guardian’s article, a link to which I’ll post on www.GoldenREblog.com:

The survey of more than 2,500 domestic heat pump owners and more than 1,000 domestic gas boiler owners in England, Scotland and Wales over the last winter is thought to be the largest investigation into how households have responded to heat pumps to date….

Households have been slow to take up government vouchers worth £5,000 to help cover the cost of replacing a gas boiler with a new heat pump. Slightly more than a third of the scheme’s grants were taken up in the last financial year.

However, the survey, which was undertaken by Eunomia Research and Consulting, found that 81% of households were as satisfied or more satisfied with heat pumps compared with previous heating systems, including gas boilers, electric heating, or oil and LPG boilers….

On running costs, which is another key area of concern for households considering a heat pump, the survey found that two-thirds of heat pump owners and 59% of gas boiler owners were satisfied even without extensive energy efficiency upgrades….

“The government should now have the confidence to move forward quickly with its proposal to.… streamline outof-date planning rules to make it easier and cheaper for everyone to make the switch to cleaner, safer and more efficient heating with a heat pump,” [said Clem Cowton, director of external affairs for Octopus Energy, a local energy supplier.]

Renewables Surpassed Coal & Nuclear for First Time in 2022

Since 2007, the use of coal for electricity generation has generally been in decline, while the use of renewables has been on the rise. Electricity generation from nuclear had remained relatively flat over the last two decades but has experienced a slight decline in recent years. In 2022, net generation of electricity from renewables reached 0.91 billion megawatt-hours, topping both coal and nuclear (0.83 and 0.77 billion megawatt-hours, respectively). In 2022, renewables accounted for about 21% of all net generation of electricity.

Notes:

Renewable sources of power include wind, solar, hydropower, biomass, and geothermal energy. “Other” category includes petroleum liquids, petroleum coke, batteries, chemicals, hydrogen, pitch, purchased steam, sulfur, miscellaneous technologies, and electricity gen-

erated from non-renewable waste. Electricity net generation is the amount of gross electricity a generator produces minus the electricity used to operate the power plant.

Are You Interested in or Curious About Cohousing?

Cohousing is an intentional, collaborative neighborhood that combines private homes with shared indoor and outdoor spaces designed to support an active and interdependent community life.

Here in Jefferson County and Denver, we have several successful cohousing communities, including Harmony Village, a 27-unit townhome community in Golden, and Hearthstone Cohousing, a 33-townhome community built on the former Elitch Gardens site in northwest Denver. Both communities have common houses for group meals and other community activities. The common houses also have guest apartments that members can rent for visiting guests.

combined with volunteer work with Je co Open Spaces. e students volunteered at Crown Hill Park on the morning of May 23, taking a raft down Clear Creek River in Idaho Springs that afternoon.

“We rafted down class three whitewater, dodging rocks and getting splashed by rapids along the way,” Sta ord said.

Afterward, Sta ord heard some good feedback from the students, who had great things to say about the trip.

“Some students were nervous to raft but ended the day with ‘I LOVE rafting!’” Sta ord said.

Sta ord explained that the class is about much more than the schoolwork.

“Outdoor Leadership at CODCA is a pretty cool place where kids of many di erent backgrounds and levels of comfortability in nature come together and spend extended periods of time in Colorado’s public lands,” Sta ord said. “ e relationships, connection to nature and con dence gained from these experiences will stay with each student in their own unique way for the rest of their lives.”

His program is designed to work alongside the CODCA curriculum.

He’s not subverting the importance of online school. e school has found that o ering the option is necessary in today’s world.

Instead, Sta ord is trying to give students access to Colorado’s outdoors, a space he has found person-

ally healing.

“I care deeply about spending time in nature,” he said. “It has healed me, taught me life lessons and brought me close to many special people in my life. Unfortunately, there are many barriers to spending

time in nature. Fear of risks, transportation issues, access, cost of gear and many more reasons keep kids and adults from experiencing the joy of the natural world.”

Last ‘ghost gun’ plotter sentenced after conviction in killing of Wiko brothers

BY STAFF REPORT

Marqueil Banks, the last of four juveniles to be sentenced for the murders of two brothers in Lakewood in 2020, was sentenced to life in prison. However, Banks could be released on parole in 40 years. at’s according to a sentencing announced by Jefferson County o cials two months after Banks’ conviction by a county jury on counts of robbing and murdering Damian and Dillon Wiko , aged 18 and 17, respectively.

In the case, Lakewood police said the Wiko brothers arranged to sell a “ghost gun” on Aug. 23, 2020, made from a kit they bought online as well as trade for another gun. Police claimed that Banks was part of a group that plotted to rob the brothers and then shot and killed them.

One of the plotters, Michael Mendoza, pleaded guilty on

Jan. 31, 2022, to aggravated robbery and manslaughter in the case. In April, Mendoza was sentenced to 20.5 years in prison.

Two other plotters, both aged 15, were sentenced in the Department of Youth Services: one for four years for murder in the rst degree, the other for two years for conspiracy to commit aggravated robbery. Mendoza and Banks were juveniles at the time of the killings. Mendoza is now 20 years old and Banks is 18.

Banks’ sentencing on May 30 included:

Count 1: Murder in the rst degree for Damian Wiko , life with the possibility of parole after 40 years Count 2: Murder in the rst degree for Dillon Wiko , life with the possibility of parole after 40 years, consecutive to Count 1. Two counts of aggravated robbery, 32 years in the Department of Corrections, concurrent to Count 1.

Edgewater Pride is a community parade with COVID roots

BY JO DAVIS JDAVIS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A colorful array of festivities ensued recently in Edgewater for the city’s annual Pride parade. e event, which took place June 3 this year, was founded and organized by Edgewater residents Marla Doughty and Travis Stealy. ey started the parade during the COVID-19 pandemic.

“Everyone was doing (events) for COVID birthday parties, where you’re in your vehicle and social distancing,” Stealy said. “And so, we put that together to do it for Edgewater. And the next year, it got a little bigger and got a little bigger. And here we are.”

According to Stealy, the Edgewater Pride parade is the only one in Je erson County. It attracts people from Lakewood and the rest of the

JUNE 1-4

county.

“We’ve had lots of like community support come out, some local businesses come out and actually sponsor. But all local sponsors,” Stealy said. “We’re keeping it really local, not like big corporate, but really just a community-led event.”

Doughtry estimated about 210 registered entrants in this year’s parade. ere were about 20 vehicles in the parade and about 15 vendors on the

ground in the Edgewater Market, the endpoint for the parade. ere were oats by Je co Open Spaces and booths featuring the Je erson County Library. Even the Chief of the Edgewater Police drove in the parade, his car adorned with Pride ags.

CSU scientists delve into cattle guts to cut emissions

Fight against greenhouse gases enters new dimension

BY RAE SOLOMON KUNC

In many ways, the research pens at Colorado State University are what you’d nd on your standard cattle feedlot. ere are cows, of course, plenty of mud, and the inevitable odor of livestock.

But this feedlot, at CSU’s agricultural research and education center in Fort Collins, doubles as a scienti c laboratory. It’s where researchers in the AgNext program — a specialized research group for sustainability in animal agriculture — are learning about the greenhouse gases cows produce as they stand around digesting food.

e feedlot is tricked out with millions of dollars of equipment that allow scientists to track everything that goes into each cow, along with some of what comes out.

Specialized feed bins use radiofrequency identi cation (RFID) technology to track every ounce of corn consumed on a per cow basis. Another piece of equipment called the GreenFeed machine analyzes the gases cattle exhale. It’s a bit

like a high-tech gumball machine, dispensing tasty cow treats — alfalfa pellets — on a schedule, and at the beckoning of a smartphone app operated by researchers.

On a chilly afternoon in March, Colorado State University Animal Sciences Professor Sara Place demonstrated the technology, tapping a button on her phone. A highpitched electronic chime sounded and the alfalfa pellets dropped into an opening at cow level, catching the attention of a big-eyed angus who moseyed up for a bite to eat.

“He’s got his head stuck in the machine and he’s chowing down a little bit of a snack,” Place explained.

Despite common misconceptions about the perils of bovine atulence, most methane comes out of the cow’s front end in the form of enteric emissions. at means each time an cow gets a snack from the GreenFeed machine, Place has an opportunity to get information.

“ e air gets pulled from around the animal’s face, and whatever they’re respiring out goes directly into the machine,” Place said. “We can get real time methane emissions data from that.”

Methane is a powerful greenhouse gas that has a warming power 80 times more potent than

carbon dioxide in the rst 20 years of emission. e animal agriculture industry, which includes all operations that raise animals for meat or dairy, produces more methane than any other human activity in the U.S.

Climate experts say we’re running out of time to prevent climate catastrophe. To avoid the worst of it, experts say it is imperative to cut greenhouse gas emissions dramatically before 2030. Environmental groups have ambitious goals to reduce agricultural methane emissions by 30% globally by the year 2030.

But when it comes to emissions from the livestock sector, the science is still just emerging, and it’s not yet clear if the cuts will come in time—or how.

Place hopes to change that with

her work in the research pens.

“We want to nd solutions that can help mitigate those emissions to cut the climate impact of beef,” Place said.

A tricky proposition

Reducing the climate footprint of beef is a complex problem. According to Kim Stackhouse Lawson, director of CSU’s AgNext program, producing methane is just part of being a cow.

“ ey’re biologically supposed to make methane,” she said. e gases are the byproduct of a complex fermentation process that happens inside a cow’s largest stomach, called the rumen. Chang-

A cow looks up from its meal at CSU’s AgNext climate smart research pens on March 10, 2023. An RFID tag attached to the animal’s ear allows the feed bin to keep track of how much food that particular animal is taking in. Later, a GreenFeed machine will analyze the animals’ greenhouse gas emissions. COURTESY OF KUNC

EMISSIONS

ing that equation involves tinkering with the complex microbiological ecosystem inside a living animal’s stomach, which means there’s still a lot we don’t know.

For instance, there is still no experimental data on baseline emissions from the livestock industry.

“ e data is not granular enough,” Stackhouse Lawson said.

e best understanding of the cattle emissions picture comes from the Environmental Protection Agency’s greenhouse gas emissions inventory, which derives its data from a model that uses emissions factors - essentially multipliers from a chart, so the data is based on equations rather than direct measurements from the animals themselves.

Stackhouse Lawson said the inventory does a decent job of estimating livestock emissions at the scale of the entire U.S. But for individual operations trying to account for the carbon footprint of their own herds, those numbers are too generalized to tell the full story.

“ ere’s too much variability between animals, there’s too much variability within region,” she said.

Stackhouse Lawson’s team is only now doing the work of developing more precise numbers. She cited

surprising initial data from CSU’s research pens that shows the quantities of methane cows produce can vary wildly from animal to animal, suggesting an entirely new frontier for the research.

“Is there a genetic component?” She wondered. “Would we select animals that have lower methane?”

e CSU team is also looking at other variables like feed additives that can cut emissions outright.

John Tauzel, senior director for global agriculture methane with the Environmental Defense Fund, explained successful additives

“will change the biome of the cow’s stomach to reduce the amount of methanogens—the organisms that create the methane.” It’s a solution he went on to describe as “really, really complex,” because of the complicated structure of the livestock industry and the biological intricacies of cattle microbiomes. at complex problem remains only partially-solved, in part due to lack of funding for the research.

Tauzel pointed out that only 2% of federal funds that support research and development for climate adaptation and mitigation in agriculture go toward reducing enteric emissions.

“We need more investment in that space if we’re going to meet the reductions in timeframes that we need,” Tauzel said.

at investment is starting to come. Just last week, the team at

AgNext announced it had received a $1 million Conservation Innovation grant from the US Department of Agriculture. e money will support continued research into emissions on the feedlot. It will also allow the researchers to expand their inquiry into cattle emissions to look at cows grazing in a pasture setting.

Stackhouse Lawson hopes more funding could be part of the next Farm Bill currently being negotiated in congress.

Until more federal dollars start owing, the research being done on cattle emissions is dependent on industry to ll the funding gap.

Industry’s stake in reducing emissions

Five Rivers Cattle Feeding bills itself as the world’s biggest cattle feeding operation. e Northern Colorado-based company runs 13 feedlots across six western states, with the capacity to fatten up to 900,000 head of cattle at any given time. A cow typically spends about six months on one of Five Rivers’ feedlots, during which time it can put on anywhere between 500 and 700 pounds.

“What we’re all about is e ciency,” said Vice President of Environmental A airs and Sustainability Tom McDonald. “[We’re] getting cattle to perform at their best while they’re at the feedlot.”

Part of that commitment to cattle performance includes support for

the ongoing work at CSU’s research pens.

“ e whole goal here is to learn what our greenhouse gas footprint is, and then how can we improve it?” McDonald said.

All of the emissions research animals at CSU are on loan from Five Rivers. e company also supplies the animals’ feed and has donated $600,000 worth of equipment to the cause, including the GreenFeed machines that collect and analyze cow exhalations.

McDonald said his company expects to recoup that sizeable investment and then some in the eventual e ciency gains made possible by the research.

Methane, after all, isn’t just a greenhouse gas. “Methane is energy,” McDonald said. “When energy is lost, that’s a wasted resource.”

CSU researcher Sarah Place said reducing methane emissions from cows could actually mean more beef to go around.

“[Methane] is basically feed calories the animal eats that actually get lost to the atmosphere,” Place explained. at means the less methane a cow exhales as it digests, the more weight it puts on that ultimately becomes beef. In other words, a lower emitting cow is more e cient at converting corn feed to body mass than a higher emitting cow.

Congressional delegation seeks $1.7 billion for special projects

BY SANDRA FISH THE COLORADO SUN

Colorado’s two U.S. senators are seeking nearly $1.5 billion for special projects in the state through the earmark process, now known as “congressional directed spending requests.”

Sen. John Hickenlooper is seeking $831 million for 424 projects, while Sen. Michael Bennet is seeking $650 million for 381 projects.

That dwarfs the $188 million in total earmarks requested by six of Colorado’s eight U.S. House members, who request only projects in their districts, unlike senators who make requests for the entire state. In some instances, Hickenlooper and Bennet and House members are requesting funding for the same projects.

The requests must make it through a lengthy process before they are added to the final federal fiscal year 2024 budget, which will be passed sometime later this year. And many of the projects won’t be funded.

Overall, 66 senators are seeking $53.3 billion for projects, while 369 House members are seeking $19.4 billion.

Last year, Colorado’s congressional delegation scored $178 million in earmarks for projects in the state. All were proposed by Democrats, with the three Republicans objecting to the special project requests. Hickenlooper and Bennet had requested $1.4 billion, while House members had requested nearly $200 million.

The GOP opposition to earmarks has changed this year.

Republican Rep. Lauren Boebert of Garfield County joined the five Democrats in Colorado’s House delegation in requesting earmarks. She was opposed to the earmark process last year, but supports it now after the GOP majority in the House instituted new rules about what the money can be requested for.

“As a result of our historic changes, I am now able to fight for important infrastructure projects for the 3rd District of Colorado,” she wrote in an opinion piece.

In a competing opinion piece, Hickenlooper pushed back on her claim that earmarks were somehow previously corrupt, citing numerous projects he sponsored in the 3rd Congressional District over the past two years.

Boebert’s new stance on earmarks comes after she narrowly survived a challenge by former Aspen City Councilman Adam Frisch in November, winning by 546 votes. She faces a likely rematch against him in 2024.

In the past, she’s voted against funding such projects, though she’s also tried to take credit for them.

The two other Republicans in the delegation — Reps. Ken Buck of Windsor and Doug Lamborn of Colorado Springs — aren’t requesting earmarks because they say they are ideologically opposed to the spending. Before last year, earmarks had been abandoned for nearly a decade because of how scandals engulfed the process.

The requests come primarily from local governments, state governments and nonprofit organizations. Lawmakers must sign

letters certifying that they and their families have no financial interests in the sponsored projects.

That means organizations in Buck’s 4th Congressional District and Lamborn’s 5th District must rely on Colorado’s two Democratic senators to sponsor their projects.

Rep. Yadira Caraveo, D-Thornton, leads all Colorado House members in requests with $39 million, followed by Boebert at $34 million. Caraveo won a narrow victory in Colorado’s new 8th Congressional District centered in Adams and Weld counties last year, and is being targeted by Republicans in 2024.

The state’s other newest House member, U.S. Rep. Brittany Pettersen, was third on the list, also seeking about $34 million.

“I’ve been working alongside advocates, local leaders, and the people that know Colorado’s 7th Congressional District best to design and advocate for 15 projects that would improve quality of life for people from Jefferson County and Broomfield all the way out to Chaffee and Custer counties,” Pettersen said in a statement. “They range from expanding access to affordable housing options, improving town centers and health care facilities, increasing clean and safe drinking water, and beyond.”

The Colorado requests this year range from $10,000 proposed by Bennet to repair the Red Rooster Saloon and Visitor Center in Twin Lakes, which is between Aspen and Leadville, to up to $37 million proposed by Hickenlooper to create a multimodal transporta -

tion corridor near four schools in Fruita.

Most of last year’s projects were sponsored by more than one Democratic member of the Colorado congressional delegation.The largest Colorado project funded in the 2023 budget was just over $6 million for National Jewish Hospital, sponsored by Bennet.

This year, Hickenlooper has proposed 21 projects of $6 million or more, while Bennet has proposed seven.

Pettersen, D-Lakewood, tops the list of individual projects proposed by House members with a $10 million request for a flood reduction project in Golden. Bennet and Hickenlooper are also each requesting funding for the same project. Bennet’s project description says the Bachman Farms Park project will result in “six commercial properties, 40 mobile home residences and 81 low-income households” being removed from the floodplain.

The federal money can provide a welcome boost to local governments and nonprofits looking to improve infrastructure or boost services. The projects also give politicians tangible results to show off in their reelection campaigns.

What should I do if I see injured wildlife? Call *277!

After the initial shock of seeing an animal struck on the road, an elk entangled in a net (or basketball goal, hammock, or holiday lights), your mind might race to the question, “What should I do?”

Here is your answer and it’s all wrapped up in 4 characters: *277.

Why that number?

Colorado State Patrol (CSP) operates a non-emergency phone line, *CSP (which is *277). While humanrelated emergency calls should always be sent to 911, the CSP nonemergency number can be used for wildlife emergencies.

What are wildlife emergencies?

Animals that are injured and need immediate assistance are appropriate issues for a *277 call. Humanwildlife con icts, such as an animal attack or car crash, should be sent to 911.

When nearby and not involved in another call, CSP troopers or CPW o cers may respond to *277 calls about herds of elk that are moving slowly across Highway 74 and are blocking tra c for long periods of time. In this case, the trooper or o cer will calm tra c but are not allowed to interfere with the animals’ progress across the road for safety

reasons.

What happens when I call *277?

Just like a 911 dispatcher, the *277 dispatcher will ask pertinent questions and will contact the appropriate agency to respond to the wildlife emergency. e dispatcher knows the Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) o cers, CSP trooper, Je co Sheri ’s deputy or Evergreen Fire/Rescue responders on duty.

have di culty thinking clearly when facing an emergency involving a su ering animal, and dialing *277 is simple and fast.

When is *277 not the right choice?

Do not call *277 when:

You see dead animals or roadkill (the state or county road crews will likely remove them, but you may also contact them to report the carcass) unless the carcass is a human safety issue, such as blocking tra c.

Christie Greene

You have wildlife questions of a non-emergency nature (call CPW or another wildlife-based agency or nonpro t during o ce hours)

Other important details concerning animals in the road:

Park Roads. Je co Road and Bridge is the agency responsible for roadkill removal on these roads. Je co Sheri deputies respond to crashes on county highways and roads.

Wildlife carcasses discovered on personal property are the responsibility of the property owner. Options are calling a carcass removal company or in some cases, the animal may be harvested for which a permit from CPW is required.

Why not call Colorado Parks and Wildlife, county animal control or a wildlife rehabilitator directly?

While those are all options, calling *277 will allow a dispatcher to make the determination of which organization is appropriate to respond to that wildlife emergency, and *277 is always available.

What about nights and weekends?

Dialing *277 is an excellent option because the caller does not have to be concerned with knowing an agency’s o ce hours. People may

In the Conifer/Evergreen areas, we have state and county roads. e responsible agencies are di erent for each jurisdiction.

Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) Region 1 includes Highways 74, 285, 8, I-70, Highway 40 among others. CDOT Maintenance is responsible for roadkill removal. Colorado State Patrol jurisdiction includes all state and interstate highways.

CPW asks that residents experiencing bear encounters contact the appropriate CPW o ce to report the incident. Sta will share important information with the callers, such as how to bearproof the home and how to haze the animal, with the goal of preventing bears and other wildlife from feeling comfortable near homes. Bears that associate food with humans may become increasingly aggressive. Regretfully, when a bear breaks into a home, he is then considered a danger to human beings and may be put down by CPW o cers.

But after a hectic, yet productive 120 days under the Golden Dome, I am struck by how much we accomplished this session.

Newly emboldened with unprecedented majorities, Democrats remained laser-focused on the issues that matter most to Colorado families. From housing to health care, we rolled up our sleeves and had tough conversations about the challenges facing our state.

Our number one priority this session was addressing the housing crisis. Housing is far too expensive in Colorado, and it’s pricing folks out of their communities.

So we passed bills that will lower the cost of housing, and saved families and businesses billions of dollars on their property taxes to help keep more folks – especially those on xed incomes – in their homes.

We also worked to better support renters in Colorado through critical renter protections, including laws that reduce barriers to housing eligibility and save renters money on rental applications, and that protect lower-income Coloradans and folks

who rely on safety net programs from being evicted.

Democrats also fought hard to save people money on their health care, including by lowering the cost of prescription drugs and improving access to critical behavioral care for our youth.

We protected consumers from getting trapped in an endless and confusing spiral of medical debt, and we expanded access to reproductive health care – including abortion and gender-a rming care.

with Sen. Lisa Cutter to break down barriers to abortion care and other critical services and make care more a ordable by closing gaps in insurance coverage, will allow Coloradans to access the full spectrum of reproductive health care services they depend on, while protecting the people who both seek and provide that care in our state.

But perhaps the most impactful change we enacted this session is our work to put a stop to the endless cycle of gun violence that is plaguing Colorado.

Just weeks before session began, we lost ve lives in a shooting at Club Q in Colorado Springs. In the span of one month, students and teachers at Denver East High School were subject to gun violence not once, but twice. And that doesn’t include the everyday instances of gun violence that y under the radar but leave holes in our families and our communities that can never be healed.

We grieved alongside the LGBTQ+ community in the Springs, and the students and teachers as Denver East.

But, in the face of these tragedies, we did not throw our hands up and fail to act. Instead, we used our historic majorities to pass a critical suite of gun violence prevention bills that will raise the age to purchase a rearm to 21, remove overly broad protections for the gun industry, strengthen our “red ag” law, establish a three-day waiting period when purchasing a rearm, and crack down on unserialized, untraceable “ghost guns.”

ese are common sense, life-saving measures that meet the moment we nd ourselves in, and that will create a safer Colorado for us all.

ere are far too many successes from this session to recount in a single column. But make no mistake: this session was a transformative one for the people of Colorado.

From lowering the cost of housing and health care to defending our democracy and addressing the climate crisis, Democrats got to work, and I am proud of the results we’ve delivered for our state.

I look forward to continuing our work next session, and to creating a healthier, safer, and stronger Colorado that works for us all.

Disciplined leaders can avoid legislative chaos

By former state Sen. Mark Hillman

For the rst time I can recall, this year’s session of the Colorado General Assembly concluded with frenzy and confusion more typical of what we see in Washington, D.C.,

than what’s expected of our citizen legislature.

It’s not unusual for a few complicated bills to linger until the waning hours. However, this year’s 120-day session ended on Monday, May 8, with these ignominious developments:

• On Day 117, still 156 bills – onequarter of the 617 introduced since Jan. 9 – remained unresolved. With just two weeks to go, 335 bills were still in limbo.

• A bill a ecting all Colorado taxpayers was unveiled barely twoand-a-half days before the session ended and heard in committee that same day, before it was available to the public.Committee hearings are intended to allow public comment, but only two people, a consultant who helped write the bill and a veteran lobbyist, testi ed in committee on Sunday.

• Yes, the House and Senate were in session on Sunday – the rst time the Senate conducted the public’s business on a Sunday since 1939. is is not a partisan critique to suggest that Democrats cannot conduct business in an orderly fashion. To the contrary, for four years (20052008), Democrats managed the calendar well enough to adjourn early. ose Democrats could certainly o er pointers to current leaders. Several factors contributed to this year’s logjam.

Few in either party expected last November’s election to be a landslide for Democrats. Many Democrat-aligned interest groups scrambled to prepare more aggressive bills than would have been possible in a centrist-oriented legislature.

With large Democratic majorities, far-left progressives suddenly had a ghting chance to pass controversial bills, and traditional liberals had to decide whether to improve those bills or take heat for killing them. (During my rst session in 1999-2000, Republicans were in the same boat with conservatives often frustrated by moderates.)

Outnumbered more than 2-to-1 in the House, Republicans were left with only one card to play when facing sure-to-pass bills that in amed their constituents: delay. Democrats, in turn, took the rare step of limiting debate on at least 15 bills, allowing as little as one hour for discussion.

What could Democrats have done di erently?

Most obviously, adhere to legislative deadlines. Each senator and representative can introduce ve bills. ose ve bills were to be introduced by Jan. 25 in the Senate and Jan. 31 in the House.

Yet by the end of those two weeks, the Senate had introduced just 90 bills (2.5 per senator) and the House 171 (2.6 per representative). More bills (292, not counting those related to the budget) were introduced late than on schedule, which only happens with permission from leadership.

Lawmakers are procrastinators,

and lobbyists relentlessly request “just one more bill.”

Leaders must enforce deadlines to maintain order and to reduce stress and fatigue among the legislature’s professional sta which is responsible for writing and updating bills as amended.

Each bill drafter is responsible for multiple bills, so when a complicated bill must be completely rewritten overnight to facilitate legislative compromise, that drafter gets little sleep which can result in errors.

Each General Assembly meets for two sessions, so leaders should remind lawmakers not to waste time on bills that aren’t “ready for primetime” and to use the interim months to develop them for the following year.

Some have suggested constitutional changes, either reducing the legislative session to 90 days or allowing legislators to meet yearround.

A full-time legislature would simply multiply existing problems. Many legislators have minimal real-world experience, so allowing them to be professional, full time lawgivers, imposing their purported wisdom on those who actually produce goods and services, would be a terrible mistake.

Trimming 30 days from the annual session would cause legislators to prioritize, but it should be combined with postponing the starting date by 30 days so they can spend that month re ning bills and be ready for business on Day One.

Coloradans deserve better than this year’s chaotic circus. at improvement is possible with disciplined leadership, regardless of which party is in charge.

To bring as much authentic culture into Denver, many teachers have gone abroad to study di erent styles of dance.

“I am very careful when I am teaching my students because I am not Brazilian, it is not my culture, but it is something that I am absolutely fascinated with and love,” said instructor Chelsi Vecchiavelli. “I spend a lot of time outside of class researching, asking experts, listening to podcasts, consulting my mentors who are Brazilian and who are my teachers.”

Born out of the slave trade when it was down in Brazil, Samba was a means of hope and joy and is a dance of resistance and raises up against oppression.

Samba schools have often been located in a favela, which is the poor neighborhoods within Rio De Janeiro. Vecchiavelli said there

DANCE

is a big connection between the people and the culture, which is something she wanted to bring back to her classes in the U.S.

Since spending time in Brazil earlier this year, Vecchiavelli has implemented a sense of community within her classes.

e class starts with a warm-up, which can di er each week, but tends to be drill focused. Students start to move their bodies by working on hip movements, endurance and strengthening the ankles.

After warming up, the class begins to stretch out every part of their body to help prevent injuries. e class then moves to work on technique, whether it is adding the ourishes of the arms during Samba no pé or gaining speed and endurance for the style.

In Brozna-Smith’s Samba class, her students warm up to the upbeat rhythm of the drums.

Just as Brozna-Smith has her students perform for one another during the class, Vecchiavelli has integrated improvisation at the end of her class.

e students gather in a circle and with an energetic song playing, they dance with each other.

e end of class time is not about technique or who has the best footwork, it’s about connecting with one another as that is what the culture is about. Western dancers are often trained to perform, but this style of dance is about looking each other in the eyes, singing and embracing the joy that comes along with Samba.

“We need to recognize that we’re dancing it from a place of privilege,” said Vecchiavelli. “We’re not able to connect to it in the same way that people in Brazil can, and so I try to make sure that we at least know the context of it.”

Bella Bro World Dance

For an hour each week, men take part in a high-intensity, choreographybased workout. Led by Kyle Kastner, the group’s heart rate increases and sweat pours down as Kastner focuses on moving fast.

Having been the only consistent man who danced at Bella Diva for eight years, Kastner felt the need to bring more men into the fold, as male representation in dance in America is not as strong as in other cultures.

Kastner believes the American culture is dismissive and even undermining of male dancers.

“I actually think that it is incredibly masculine to dance, and when you look at other cultures around the world, dance is ingrained,” Kastner said. “It’s not gendered. ere may be gender norms within it, but gender is not important.”

With the goal of creating a space for men to feel free to use their bodies in a creative way, Kastner created Bella Bro World Dance. ere are about eight individuals who are regulars to the class.  Kasnter gains inspiration for his class

from Bollywood and Brazilian Samba no pé. It is not just the energy that those styles of dance bring but embracing the masculinity of the Indian culture and bridging the gap between di erent stylings that is being shown in Samba no pé.

Bella Bro World Dance recently worked on a piece inspired by a lm based on a true story. e character they are portraying was a great warrior and fought in battles. Although it appears that the dancers are not doing much, their moves are incredibly complex and take a lot of strength to complete.  roughout the class, the students started to learn how to move their bodies in new and challenging ways and discover things about themselves, Kastner said. e class also helps rede ne what masculinity is and shift the focus from a toxic idea of masculinity to a much more embracing, accepting idea of what it could be.

In his class, he helps the students learn how to use their inherent male privilege as a superpower for good.

“ at’s something I’ve de nitely been working with the men on is understanding that just because we are men, we have privilege that others don’t,” said Kasnter. “And then especially if we are white men with privilege that others don’t (have), to use that in a bene cial positive way for society and community as a whole.”

instructor of the Iranian Persian style of dance in Colorado, Delsie KhademGhaeini is honored to represent her community and to be a vessel for cultural outreach by sharing Iranian culture through dance.

In Iranian culture, there are a couple of di erent stylizations of dance as there are di erent minority groups and languages, all of the groups have their own folk dancing and style of dancing. e style Khadem-Ghaeini teaches is not a regional style of dance in Iran, it is shared across all of those cultures.

Iranian culture is deeply rooted in poetry, therefore, a lot of the music has poetry in it.

Khadem-Ghaeini said the style she teaches is more of a staged kind of style of dancing, a style that is closely related to what is seen in current pop styles of dance. She focuses on the quality of the movements. e movements are more structured and re ned compared to some of the more theatrical styles of dancing.

“Depending on what region they’re from, there might be dance movements that are associated to the kind of farming that they might have done or in the southern region, along the Persian Gulf, there may be dance movements that are related to shing,” Khadem-Ghaeini said.

Her classes focus on connecting with the music by using the uidity of the arms, hands and wrists, which can be very emotive. One form of movement that di erentiates the Iranian style of dance from other styles that also use

arms and hands is the use and curving of the spine. e combination of the arm, hand and spinal curves is subtle to the eye.

According to Khadem-Ghaeini, the aesthetics of Iranian culture has a lot of curves and a lot of geometry. Many of the shapes in the body that dancers create are very curved, even mirroring the way Persian calligraphy curves and moves are showing up in dance.

Another important piece of Iranian Persian dancing is learning the history of Iranian culture and sending messages and making statements. With the current revolutions taking place in Iran, Khadem-Ghaeini and her students performed at the University of Denver, choosing songs that relate to the woman-led revolutions.

“When I’m dancing, it’s a much deeper connection to music,” said Khadem-Ghaeini. “It’s not just about trying to hit my body a certain way that that music hits… but the poetry and the music that has like thousands of years of history, that is part of Iranian culture, to me, every time I do a performance is deeply involved for me.”

Being a student at Bella Diva World Dance

Having studied dance since she was a little girl, Elizabeth Buckius has trained in di erent kinds of studios with strict teachers in traditional ballet. She said that Bella Diva is the most welcoming, supportive and caring studio.

Students at the Denver-based studio are of all ages, all orientations and all shapes and sizes. e people bring an electric energy into the studio and by embracing the cultural aspect of the di erent styles of dance, everyone — from sta to students to the costume designer — has created a strong community within the walls of the studio, according to Buckius and sta at the studio.

“What makes us unique is also what makes us stronger,” said Brozna-Smith. “We’re able to really learn empathy by putting ourselves in somebody else’s shoes or position and life.”

Along with the positive and supportive energy in each classroom, there is a lot of curiosity as well. e studio focuses on learning about different cultures and becoming a global citizen. Buckius said it’s a great way to learn about other parts of the world.

Bella Diva also focuses on being body positive and being a healthy place for dancers. And with such multicultural sta and students at the studio, the studio has become a strong and vibrant community in Denver and internationally.

“We really want to be rooted in the actual traditions that we’re studying,” said Buckius. “So even though we’re here in Colorado, we want to make sure we’re connecting with the actual traditions at the world dance studio.”

Life/Art Ensemble takes dance into the world

When many people think of starting a dance organization, they probably conjure up images of children or teenagers awkwardly guring out how to get their feet to do what their minds want them to. But Life/ Art Dance Ensemble got its start in 2009 with a di erent audience in mind.

“I am a registered dietitian nutritionist and my very rst job out of college was with Volunteers of America, Colorado Branch. I co-ran the Healthy Aging program there and we would bring nutrition, exercise, and fall prevention classes to low-income residences for older adults,” explained Jessica Riggs, artistic director and founder of Life/ Art. “I also learned that entertainment budgets at these residences weren’t high and that there was a lack of quality entertainment available, particularly for those who had impaired mobility or couldn’t a ord tickets to a show.”

And from that experience came the idea of bringing dance directly to older adults.

In the 14 years since its founding, the organization has expanded to o er contemporary dance performances all over the metro area.

“We work with live music and di erent creative concepts to take dance out of the theater and move it into the world,” Riggs said. “We’re trying to expose people to what dance can be and collaborate with as many di erent groups as we

e metro dance scene can often be very siloed, Riggs said, so collaboration has become a crucial feature of nearly every project the organization engages with. Some examples include the annual Life In Motion: A Colorado Dance Film Festival, which showcases Colorado dance lm artists, and the Convergence event, which is a cost-sharing show featuring all kinds of local dance organizations, like Rocky Mountain Rhythm and Front Range Contemporary Ballet Company.

While summer is a bit of a quiet time for Life/Art when it comes to public performances, there’s always something to work on. e organization is currently preparing for this year’s Convergence performance and a dance haunted house, also slated for the fall.

But, in the meantime, the work with older adults never stops. at is due, at least in part, to the 2021 expansion of their program to feature inclusive dance classes taught in the DanceAbility method. According to Riggs, this allows the residents to be able to dance themselves, regardless of any physical limitation they might have.

A slam dunk for energy transition

We sometimes have pivots, long in the making but de ned by moments. ey occurred both in basketball and in Colorado energy on May 22.

In basketball, Nicola Jokic and the Nuggets dethroned the King, as LeBron James has long been known, and his Los Angeles Lakers. e Nuggets de ed Vegas oddsmakers but their ascendancy was in plain view for four years. is will be team’s rst nals appearance since entering the NBA in 1976.

In 1977, Colorado gained a national research laboratory, then called the Solar Energy Research Institute. Later renamed the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, NREL has expanded its missions to gain energy self-su ciency. President Donald Trump in 2017 wanted to slash its budget. Congress refused.

Now, Congress has given NREL another $150 million in a special allocation. One result among several will be a new research facility focused on creating bioenergy capable of fueling airplanes. Commercial airplanes and large business jets account for 3% of U.S. greenhouse gas emissions, according to the EPA. In Aspen and Vail, I suspect it’s far higher. If batteries can power cars, buses, and even small aircraft, they’re heavy for long-

distance air travel. Other solutions must be pursued.

Solar similarly once seemed like a long reach. Panels have become ubiquitous, and we’re just getting started in Colorado, owing in part to the seeds planted at NREL more than 40 years ago. By decade’s end, Colorado will almost certainly be at 80% renewable energy for our electrical generation and likely higher in some places.

at leaves us at the intersection of uncertainty and exciting opportunities. We still don’t know how exactly we will reach 100% emissions-free electricity nor how we can end emissions from long-haul transportation, concrete production and some other sectors.

At the NREL campus on Monday, U.S. Sen. John Hickenlooper captured the essence. “ e future is now,” he said. “In 50 years, we’re going to look back on what’s happening in the next few years as part of this great transition where the world we knew gets left behind.”

at change, he acknowledged, will involve loss, a reference to the

fossil fuel sectors being displaced. “We have to process that. But we don’t have too much time to spend mourning. We gotta move forward, because the future is now.”

Soon after, tours were conducted of the Research and Integration Laboratory, called RAIL. It will pursue answers to the riddle of plastic recycling to help curtail consumption of fossil fuels. e lab was designed to be exible, though, to help solve other questions as they arise.

An hour before the tours and four miles away at the Colorado School of Mines, Gov. Jared Polis had signed several bills. e new laws contemplate possible solutions as Colorado stretches to achieve its emissionsreduction goals from 2030 to 2050.

Two of the laws anticipate using the subterranean in ways to quell emissions or even stow carbon dioxide captured from the atmosphere. A central player in this governance will be the Energy and Carbon Management Commission, which is a new name for an old agency. is agency will have a broader mission than the oil and gas drilling that previously was its exclusive domain. One is potential tapping of underground heat to generate electricity. Another is governance of underground storage of hydrogen as Xcel Energy contemplates with a potential project involving the Pawnee power plant near Brush.

Carbon capture and sequestration is a third possibility, but one hotly disputed by some environmental

watchdogs, among them Leslie Glustrom, a biochemist. ey are skeptical of the agency’s ability to regulate oil and gas, let alone other activities. Pipelines, both for oil and for carbon dioxide, have a history of ruptures. In 2022, residents of a rural area of Mississippi were left unconscious after a pipeline rupture left the odorless carbon dioxide spewing for four hours.

Dozens of bills addressing the energy transition were passed this year by Colorado legislators, a recognition of the need for swift actions proportionate to the risk of still-rising emissions. Even more striking was a report from northwest Colorado that Rangely, one of our most prominent oil and gas boom towns, plans to be engaged in the clean energy transition.

Speaking at NREL on Monday, U.S. Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm noted that urgency. “We have to do everything everywhere all at once to get to that 100% goal,” she said. e work has begun on the changes that will be manifested beyond 2030. e path leading to the current basketball championship began in 2014 when the Nuggets drafted Jokic with their third draft choice that year. e Nuggets did not have high expectations. Some things take time - and then, all of a sudden they’re here.

If the Colorado Republican Party had employees in April, they didn’t get paid

BY SANDRA FISH THE COLORADO SUN

It’s the rst time in at least 20 years the Grand Old Party didn’t pay any employees in Colorado.

And the party’s actual bank accounts have less money than the $120,540 a recent ling said the party had on hand, the GOP acknowledged in an addendum led with the Federal Election Commission.

“ e executive board has formed a committee to investigate the discrepancy and will likely lead to the restatement of previous reports to account for the error,” the document concluded.

e Colorado GOP raised only about $58,000 in the rst four months of the year, including less than $15,000 in April. e party spent more than $15,000 last month, with $9,100 going to health and dental bene ts. It’s unclear if anyone is working for the party; no sta is listed on its website.

Questions about the party’s nances point to rocky beginnings for Party Chairman Dave Williams, an election-denying former El Paso County lawmaker who won control

of a divided state GOP in March. Williams didn’t return phone calls, text messages or emails from e Colorado Sun seeking comment. Colorado Public Radio reported last month that Williams was also working a full-time job as a legislative aide.

Dave Williams speaks during a Republican state central meeting on March 11, 2023, in Loveland where elections for a chairman, vice chairman and secretary of the Colorado GOP were conducted.

Adaptive sports have become core to Colorado skiing

Initiative began in 1970s as Eldora Handicapped Recreation Program

BY TRACY ROSS THE COLORADO SUN

When Kevin Wilson was a kid growing up in Texas and Oklahoma he told his parents that if he didn’t get a college football scholarship he was going to move to Colorado to ski bum in the winter and raft guide in summer.

It made sense, what with his dad being a coach of all trades — football, basketball, baseball — and Wilson his heir to the interscholastic sports dynasties of eight di erent counties. School sports were the family’s life save for weekends. en they’d drive to their cabin in New Mexico to ski at Angel Fire and Red River resorts, ying downhill amid the scents of pinyon pine and Englemann spruce.

But when Wilson was 16, he was in a car accident that left him paralyzed from the waist down. ere began a long period of recovery and rehabilitation, learning to use a wheelchair, and pain pills doctors prescribed to the tune of 300 every time he went in for a checkup, while failing to address the pain itself, he says. rough it all he managed to go to college, meet his wife and survive heavy partying and drinking. But he su ered from depression linked to his inability to move through the world as he once did. en, in a t of inspiration in 2014, he and his wife came to Colorado. ey loved it so much, they moved to Broom eld. Wilson had heard of Eldora ski area, but it wasn’t until 2018 that he found out about the Ignite adaptive ski program housed at the resort, and went there to try skiing after his wife signed him up.

On a form his instructor gave him

to list his goals, he wrote, “I want to be an independent skier and I want to work for Ignite.”

It would take a couple years, but Wilson would achieve exactly what he wanted. He’s now a sit skier, a ski instructor and Ignite’s operations manager at an auspicious time for the non-pro t.

Founded as the Eldora Handicapped Recreation Program in the 1970s, Ignite struggled along, rst out of the back of a van, then out of a used AT&T shed and for 20 years, in a couple of cramped trailers in the corner of Eldora’s lower parking lot near the EZ chair and beginner terrain.

e program grew, surviving a re in 2006 and basking in the spotlight

of the Today Show’s Lend a Hand Program. In 2008, it received a grant from the United States Olympic Committee, allowing it to start serving disabled veterans. And in 2010, with its current name, it topped 1,000 lessons given by about 200 volunteers in a single season, after which it was “bursting at the seams” in its modular buildings.

A curveball arrived in 2014, when Eldora’s old owner, Bill Killebrew, threatened to shutter the program by refusing to renew its lease at the resort. He welcomed the program back the following season as Dave Levin, Ignite’s then board chair, started discussing the possibility of Ignite raising funds to build its own facility.

In 2016, Powdr Corporation bought Eldora and Levin kicked o a capital fundraising campaign with $250,000 of his own money. Fast forward a few years and Brent Tregaskis, Eldora’s current general manager, says, “Ignite was maybe

going to build a two-story building and rent the top oor back to us. But John Cumming, Powdr’s founder, was like, ‘Look. We should build it. We should own the building and give them a 99-year lease.’ You don’t want to have a little quarter of an acre (of your property) owned by somebody else.”

Levin died of cancer before he could see Powdr, Eldora and Ignite kick his dream into high gear. “ e only thing more important to him than Ignite was his family,” Carol Nickell, Ignite’s executive director, says. On May 18, Eldora broke ground on the facility. e new building, set to open for the 2024-25 season will span 12,000 square feet with roughly half going to Eldora’s ski and ride school for children and half to Ignite.

Nickell says Ignite is raising $1.9 million toward construction and an endowment to insure future programming. Tregaskis, while refusing to give a hard number, says Eldora is putting up many millions more to make the co-operating space a reality.

“Financially, it would have been better not to that,” he adds. “But John’s idea shows he’s really committed to Ignite.”

As, it seems, are the 15 Colorado resorts that report supporting some sort of adaptive programming, according to Adrienne Saia Isaac of the National Ski Areas Association (“although there could be more; some folks are better than others about lling out their info,” she adds).

A short list includes the National Sports Center for the Disabled at Winter Park Resort, which teaches adaptive lessons and has a competition center for athletes wanting to race at the elite level. Vail and Beaver Creek both o er “integrative lessons” for individuals needing extra support in any of its general ski school group lessons. With Telluride Adaptive Sports, if you’re skilled enough, you can go heliskiing with Helitrax and an adaptive instructor.

Some of these programs have been around for nearly as long as the resorts they’re housed in, while others moved in later. Ignite came to Eldora ve years after it opened in 1970. NSCD started up in 1970, 40 years after Winter Park Resort. Telluride rst spun its lifts in 1972 with adaptive lessons in its general ski school, while the non-pro t Telluride Adaptive Sports Program opened on its premises in 1995. And while Steamboat Resort opened in 1963, Steamboat Adaptive Recreational Sports (STARS) didn’t start until 2007.  ese programs and a handful more now give thousands of snow sports lessons each winter to people a ected by disability at resorts that don’t appear too concerned about the programs bringing them a pro t.

Winter Park gives NSCD free lift tickets and “a generous rent rate” on their o ces beneath the Balcony House at the base of the resort, Diane Eustace, NSCD’s communications manager, says. And “while in theory, we’re losing space, we’ve been a longtime partner of NSCD because we’re a bunch of people

who believe the outdoors are for everyone,” Jen Miller, Winter Park spokesperson, adds.

Chris Werhane, adaptive sports lead at Adaptive Adventures in Westminster, says people a ected by disability are increasingly inter-

on that purchase in one to two years. ank goodness they and many other resorts comp tickets because otherwise a lot of these programs wouldn’t exist.”

ousands of Colorado’s adaptive ski instructors are volunteers, so paying them isn’t a problem; many resorts will donate day or season passes to them. Nickell says Ignite’s roughly 250 instructors all volunteer. In the 2019-20 season, 244 gave 1,085 lessons to 285 students, amounting to 14,253 hours of volunteer time at a value of $399,365.

“We do what we do really well,”

But Erik Weihenmayer, the blind adventurer who has climbed Mount Everest, kayaked the Grand Canyon and skied the Haute Route from Chamonix to Zermatt with guides, says not all volunteer instructors are equal either in guiding ability or sensitivity to their students.

“I like some programs, but the problem with others is that you show up and you don’t know who your guide is,” he says. “I can’t speak to other disabilities, but as a blind person, it’s about creating relationship, trust and communication. You can’t snap your ngers and do that in ve minutes. You have to have consistency. You’re listening to the person guiding you. You’re learning to read each other’s minds so when your guide says turn left you know exactly what they mean by that. If you don’t have consistency, if there’s a new guide every time you go skiing, then it’s a problem and a lot of organizations fall short in that way.”

ested in skiing because “everyone in the last 30 years has been born with technology,” and people aren’t afraid as they were before to step out of their comfort zones. He cites advances in prosthetics technology, cars with hand controls, public bus services like Bustang, which serves resorts up and down Interstate 70, adaptive-compliant hotels and adaptive sports programs. With increased access to adaptive adventure and adaptive adventure travel improved, some of the onceinsurmountable-seeming barriers to rolling up to a resort and shredding have been lowered.

As for the high cost of tearing down the slopes in search of a goggle tan, “that’s a barrier for anybody wanting to go skiing,” Werhane adds. Adaptive equipment — for things like sit skis and outriggers — can cost thousands of dollars. Many adaptive snow sports programs are non-pro t, so they rely on fundraising, donations and in-kind gifts to stay running.

“But look at Breck’s adaptive program,” Werhane says. “For $165 a day you get a lift ticket, an instructor and the ability to ski on a $6,000 piece of equipment the Breck adaptive center bought. Breck probably isn’t going to get their money back

He also takes issue with the prices he says some adaptive programs charge: “I went to Vail one time and they were gonna charge me $500 — over $200 for me and $200 for my guide. I go, ‘Wait, my guide is my eyes, folks. He should be free. He’s simply here to guide me down the mountain. I can’t see and you’re gonna charge me double?’”

Weihenmayer is a high-level skier, so a program like Foresight Adventure Guides for the Blind works better for him anyway.

“I like them because I can call them up and they’ll pair me with the right person who guides me from behind,” he says. “Most blind guides guide from the front, but guiding from behind is better, because as a sighted person what do they tell you to do? Look down the fall line. ey don’t tell you to lean your head back to try to listen to a guy behind you. If your guide is in front of you, the sound comes back and you ski into it.” With the right guide and using this method, Weihenmayer says he skis aggressively, with good form, and makes “nice, round turns.”

Tom Bjorklund, the party’s new treasurer, referred questions to Williams. e initial April report Bjorkland led reported only $3,000 in contributions. An amended report was led later.

e $120,540 cash balance reported by the party isn’t the lowest ever — the party’s cash on hand fell below $100,000 for several months in the 2015-16 election cycle.

Williams was elected on a platform that included falsely insisting that former President Donald Trump won the 2020 election. But he told e Sun in March that his critics should “relax,” and said he was focused on attacking Democrats.

A sampling of his emails since he became chairman show he’s been doing that. “Democrats Defend Perverts,” “ ey hate you,” “Democrats’ Witch-Hunt of Trump” and “Democrats threaten Pastor” are among the subject lines of his emails. e emails include buttons to donate but talk more about state legislative proposals than how the party will rally behind candidates for o ce or assist campaigns.

e lack of a payroll for a state party in Colorado is unusual.

“ ere have been other cycles where the party pays only one or two salaries in the o year,” said Kristi

Burton Brown, who chaired the party during the last election cycle. “If they want to run it all-volunteer, they certainly can.”

e party raised only a little more than $18,000 in the rst two months of the year, before Williams was elected chairman.

From January through April, Colorado’s GOP spent more than $263,000. at compares with $539,000 spent in the rst four months of 2021, another nonelection year when ve people were paid for their work in April. Of this year’s spending, $73,000 went to Brownstein Hyatt Farber Schreck for legal services.

It’s unclear if the law rm is still representing the party. Former GOP Executive Director Joe Jackson went to work for U.S. Rep. Ken Buck, RWindsor, at the start of the year. Shana Banberger, the GOP’s fundraising consultant for many years, also is no longer working for the state party.

e state account for the GOP had only about $1,500 in cash at the end of March. at account has smaller contribution limits so raises less money than the federal account, which is used to pay most of the party’s expenses.

“Anybody who gets elected state chair should probably prioritize raising money,” said Dick Wadhams, who ran the state party from 2007 to 2011 and has been critical of Williams.

“You can’t run an operation without that in the bank.”

Newly elected Colorado Democratic

Party Chairman Shad Murib said the lack of paid sta should be concerning.

“It means the infrastructure of the party doesn’t have much support without a sta kind of assisting it,” he said.

Murib told e Sun he’s splitting his time between working with grassroots Democrats and fundraising.

“We’re reengaging with donors who are interested in seeing our success in 2022 continue,” he said.

e state Democratic Party raised nearly $92,000 in April, and spent nearly $211,000, including about $26,000 on payroll for a half-dozen employees. at left the party with nearly $196,000 in cash at the end of April.

e Democratic Party raised more than $419,000 in the rst four months of the year, while spending about $454,000. e party’s state-level account had nearly $32,000 at the end of March.

And the Colorado GOP has trailed Democrats in political spending in the state in recent years.

Campaign accounts or PACS for several of the state’s top elected Democrats have donated to the federal party account this year including U.S. Sens. Michael Bennet and John Hickenlooper; U.S. Reps. Diana Degette, of Denver, Yadira Caraveo, of ornton, Jason Crow, of Centennial, and Joe Neguse, of Lafayette; Gov. Jared Polis; Treasurer Dave Young; and others. Hickenlooper also sent two emails

recently asking people to donate to the state party.

e Colorado GOP received $12,500 from the terminated 8th Congressional District campaign of state Sen. Barbara Kirkmeyer, of Brighton, in early March. It’s the only money the party has received from Republican o ceholders or candidates this year.

Mines moon dust-moving challenge draws international competitors

When building up an annual event, the inaugural one sets the foundation, but the second one is the all-important adhesive that the next iterations are built on.

From May 31-June 1, Colorado School of Mines cohosted the second annual Over the Dusty Moon Challenge with Lockheed Martin. College students from across the world demonstrated the moon-dustmoving designs they’ve been building since September.

Jessica Conyers, a therapist who works for the Veterans Administration at the Valor Point Domiciliary in Lakewood and helps coordinate the largest rehabilitative ski and snowboard program in the U.S., the annual National Disabled Winter Sports Clinic for Veterans, says for over a week every March, veterans from across the country descend on Snowmass to try adaptive skiing or snowboarding for the rst time or to continue their adaptive journey.

“Without a doubt, snow sports provide enormous bene ts to veterans, especially those I work with who may have a history of substance abuse and are thrill seekers and are looking for a way to get that adrenaline rush to maybe replace their substance habit,” she says.

Teresa Parks, Conyer’s colleague and director of the sports clinic, adds, “For each veteran or those supporting veterans it costs around $1,700 to $2,200 dollars for the week, depending upon where they are coming from.”

In doing so, Conyers says, they may nd relief from some of the di culties of living with a disability. It’s well-known how time in the outdoors coupled with movement and nature’s beauty can help anyone, and Nickell says as the closest adaptive ski program to the Front Range, with a larger space and easier access to skiing, Ignite is poised to broaden the reach of adaptive skiing while enticing more people to contribute to its longevity.

Golden baseball fi nishes historic season as 4A state runner-up

BY DENNIS PLEUSS JEFFCO PUBLIC SCHOOLS

PUEBLO — It wasn’t the hardware Golden’s baseball program wanted to drive home with June 3, but a Class 4A state runner-up trophy is one that should be proudly displayed forever at Golden High School.

“It’s only the third time we’ve been here in the school’s history and rst time in 20 years,” Golden coach Jackie McBroom said of the Demons making the state championship game at Rawlings Field in Pueblo against Severance. “It is de nitely an accomplishment.”

In the end, the No. 6-seeded Silver Knights of Severance took a 1-0 victory over No. 4 Golden to win the school’s rst ever state team title. e lone run was scored in the top of the second inning when Severance senior Joe Tamburro scored on a pitch that got away from Golden senior catch Noah Wicks.

“I’m proud of everyone. We just played great team baseball,” Wicks said. “We knew what we were going into. We knew we had a great team. We made the championship game which was our goal. Sadly, we didn’t win, but we had a great season. I’m proud of everyone.”

Golden (25-6 record) had a di cult road to the championship game. After a solid 9-0 shutout victory over Summit during the opening round of the double-elimination state tournament May 26, the No. 4-seeded Demons su ered an 8-5 loss that same day to top-seeded Holy Family, sending Golden into the consolation bracket.

e uphill battle begun.

Golden stayed alive with a 8-1 victory over Riverdale Ridge on May 27 at Mountain Lion Stadium at UCCS to advance to the Final Four last weekend.

Seniors Laif Palmer and Wicks — who got the wins on the mound against Summit and Riverdale Ridge — both had brilliant pitching

performances Friday, June 2, at UCHealth Park in Colorado Springs.

Palmer had 13 strikeouts in a 3-2 victory over Lutheran. It would be the nal game the hard-throwing righty would pitch in a Demon uniform. Palmer has committed to Oregon State University, but will likely get selected in the Major League Baseball Draft coming up in early July to give him the option to turn pro.

“I’m proud of every single one of these guys,” Palmer said. “ e whole year all of them played their hearts out. I love all these guys. It just sucks it had to end this way, but we had one hell of a season.”

Wicks not only came in to get the nal out against the Lions when Palmer hit his 110-pitch count, Wicks threw a complete-game 3-hitter against Holy Family in a 4-1 Golden win Friday

afternoon.

e victories June 2 sent Golden into Saturday’s situation to be in the championship game against Severance. e Silver Knights had the luxury of advancing straight to the title game after a 3-0 start to the tournament that included wins over Cheyenne Mountain, Pueblo County and Holy Family the pervious week.

Golden junior pitcher Braeden McCarroll was equally up the task Saturday against Severance with Palmer and Wicks not in the mix to pitch after combining for 200 pitches on the hill Friday. e junior matched Severance ace Mason Bright to keep the Demons within reach.

“Braeden gave us a chance to win,” McBroom said. “He did just as good as (Palmer and Wicks) did. Give credit to their pitcher (Bright), but we needed to do better and scratching a run across.”

Bright was on top of his game on the mound throwing a complete-game shutout victory. Severance’s ace had only given up three singles — a pair by Wicks and one by sophomore Jaydon Stroup — through six innings.

Bright had only thrown 79 pitches going to the bottom of the seventh inning, but a leado triple by McCarroll give the Demons the opportunity to send the game into extra innings.

“He (Bright) is a very even-knelled kid,” Severance coach Kevin Johnson said of the senior that nearly threw 80 innings for the Silver Knights this season with an ERA below 2.00. “He made good pitches to get the strikeout and then the y out.”

Golden junior Noah Welte pinch-hit with no outs, but struck out. Senior Daine Hart hit a y ball to left eld. Severance left elder Brycen Farris made the catch and red to third baseman Noah Hertzke. Silver Knight catcher Angie Dominguez caught the throw from

Golden junior Braeden McCarroll (21) is fired up after his lead-o triple in the bottom of the seventh inning o Severance ace pitcher Mason Bright. However, the Demons weren’t able to score to send the game into extra innings. The Silver Knights defeated the Demons 1-0 in the Class 4A state championship game.

RUNNER-UP

Hertzke and put down the tag on Golden sophomore Andrew Romero, who came in to pinch-run for McCarroll.

e home-plate umpire called Romero out on the close play at the plate for the nal out of the game.

“I actually threw it and thought we had one more out to go,” Farris said of his game-winning assist. “I was celebrating in the out eld thinking we had just got the second out and then I saw the dogpile and ran in. It’s surreal. It really is.”

Bright picked up his 12th victory of the season while relying on the stellar defense behind him that didn’t commit an error in the 12th straight victory for the Silver Knights (23-6) to end the season.

“Brycen had a wonderful throw from the outfield that won us that game,” Bright said. “I’m very thankful for that.”

Golden had five baserunners in scoring position during the game, but couldn’t push a run across the plate.

“It was a bang-bang play at the plate. That’s just how it works out sometimes,” McBroom said of the final play.

Severance High School opened its doors in August of 2019. The Silver Knights faced Golden High School, which is the oldest continuously operating high school in Colorado having opened in 1873…150 years ago.

“We just started this school four years ago,” Bright said. “I’m on top of the world right now.”

The 4A state championship game was scheduled to be played at 10 a.m. Saturday at UCHealth Park in Colorado Springs. The decision was made round 9 a.m. that the field in Colorado Springs was unplayable due to wet conditions, so the game was moved to a 3 p.m. in Pueblo after the 2A state championship game.

“Both teams played very well. It was four hits to four hits. It was a very even ballgame,” Johnson said. “Both kids pitched their behinds off.”

McCarroll will likely step into the roll of the Demons’ top pitcher next season with the graduation of Palmer and Wicks.

“I just want to tell Braeden

to keep doing what he is doing,” Wicks said. “He is a great baseball player. A great pitcher and honestly, a very good dude overall.”

Golden graduated seven seniors — Palmer, Wicks, Hart, Jaydon Hord, Hayden Carbone, Xavier Nuss and Jonathan Coche-

nour —that helped lead the Demons to a third straight 4A Jeffco League title along with the deepest playoff run since Golden won the 4A state title back in 2003.

“I think we set the tone for the next few seasons,” Palmer said. “We are a winning program. This should set the bar. We’ve got

great coaching and great kids coming through the program. I think everyone is a gritty player and plays their heart out.”

EMISSIONS

FROM PAGE 11

McDonald likened the company’s interest in lowering cows’ methane emissions to any other sound business decision.

“When we upgrade equipment at the feed mill, we look for energy ecient equipment. We strive to reduce our energy usage in those areas,” he said. “From a cattle performance standpoint, we utilize the tools available to help the cattle grow faster, gain faster.”

A race against the climate time horizon

But for all the enthusiasm from the agriculture industry, the work at AgNext and a handful of related research facilities around the country is still young. Scientists are working to translate promising treatments from the pristine laboratory setting to actual, scalable applications in the feed lot.

“We’ve got a lot of exciting research that is underway,” Stackhouse Lawson said. “But it’s not ready yet.” at’s a problem, according to Ben Lilliston, director of climate and rural strategies at the Institute for Agriculture and Trade Policy, a climate and agriculture think tank.

“[ e technologies] are not proven yet,” Lilliston said. “We need to have emissions reductions really quickly, like in the next seven years. Speculative technologies are… You know, it’s not to say that they’re not worth exploring, but [I] wouldn’t rely on them as a real climate mitigation strategy.”

Apart from the scarcity of feedlotready solutions, Lilliston points to factory farming itself – an industrial system hell-bent on continual growth - as the main culprit.

“Even if you’re able to reduce emissions a small amount by some

of these scienti c advances, if you’re going to continue to grow and expand the number of animals that are part of that system, then you’re going to negate those gains,” he said.

He thinks of the emerging technologies as a distraction from the bigger question that we’re not asking: how many beef and dairy cows do we need in this country? After all, a more immediate solution to the livestock methane conundrum is to have fewer cows.

“Reducing the cattle herd is the clearest way to reduce actual emissions,” Lilliston said.

Of course, a smaller cattle herd would mean less meat and dairy on the market, which would impact consumers’ meal choices. It’s a situation John Tauzel doesn’t nd feasible.

“For various reasons, whether that’s social, whether that’s economic, livestock products are going to continue to be part of a signi cant portion of the global diet for the foreseeable future,” Tauzel said. at’s why he believes advancing research on livestock methane emissions is critical.

“If people choose to eat a hamburger, we want to make sure that when they eat that hamburger, it has the lowest methane footprint possible,” Tauzel said.

As for Place, she wants to nd solutions that simultaneously work for consumers, cattlemen and the climate.

“At the end of the day, we want to make sure we create practical solutions that can be adopted in the real world,” Place said.

After all, people like their burgers. It just might be easier to alter the microbiome of an animal’s gut than it is to change the cravings of a hungry planet.

Substantial Amendments to the Jefferson County Community Development Block Grant and Home Investment Partnerships 2021 and 2022 Annual Action Plans

Jefferson County’s Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and Home Investment Partnerships Program (HOME) 2021 One-Year Action Plan was approved by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) in November 2021 and the 2022 One-Year Action Plan was approved in November 2022. Communities applying for CDBG and HOME funding must submit an Annual Action Plan in order to receive these grant funds.

There are two purposes to these amendments:

1. To add the FY 2021 allocation of the HOME Investment Partnerships Program – American Rescue Plan (HOME-ARP) funding in the amount of $3,584,662 to the 2021 Action Plan. The American Rescue Plan appropriated $5 billion to help communities provide housing, shelter and services for people experiencing homelessness and other qualifying populations. These grant funds will be used for two separate projects: Approximately $1 million will be used for the purchase and/or rehabilitation of a motel to provide permanent supportive housing and temporary non-congregate shelter; and, the remaining funds will be used for the acquisition, rehabilitation and/or construction of a non-congregate shelter. Both locations will serve all qualifying populations under the HOMEARP regulations.

2. To increase the total 2022 CDBG allocation from the amount originally submitted in the 2022 Action Plan of $1,087,949 to include an additional $45,918 allocated through the Fiscal Year (FY) 2021 reallocated metropolitan area entitlement funds under Section 106(c) of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974. The total amended allocation for the 2022 CDBG program year is $1,133,867. The additional grant funds will be allocated to assist with the acquisition of a site in the Evergreen area, for the development of for-sale affordable housing.

The Substantial amendments to the 2021 Action Plan and the 2022 Action Plan will be submitted to HUD on or after July 12, 2023, following a 30day public comment period and public meeting. The county invites public review of the 2021 and 2022 Action Plan Amendments June 8 – July 10, 2023. The plan can be accessed on the County’s website at: https://www.jeffco.us/2667/Planning or by contacting Emily Sander, Community Development Manager, at 303-248-6318 or esander@

jeffco.us.

Jefferson County Community Development will hold a virtual public meeting for the 2021 and 2022 Action Plan amendments on June 29, 2023, at 9:00AM, accessed at: https://jeffco.webex.com/ meet/esander. The purpose of the meeting will be for the public to ask questions regarding the 2021-2022 Substantial Amendments.

In accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 ("ADA"), Interpretive services for persons with hearing impairments or persons of limited English proficiency (LEP) will be provided upon request. Please contact Emily Sander at 303-248-6318 or esander@jeffco.us at least 72 hours in advance of the event if interpretive services or special accommodations are needed. You can also use the TTY line at 303-980-7335. The Action Plan Amendments may be made available in Spanish upon request. If a citizen wishes to receive a digital copy of the Action Plan Amendments, please email Emily Sander.

NOTICE OF FINDING OF NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACT AND NOTICE OF INTENT TO REQUEST RELEASE OF FUNDS Date of Publication: June 8, 2023 Jefferson County Community Development 3500 Illinois Street Golden, CO 80401 303-248-6318 esander@jeffco.us

This notice shall satisfy two separate but related procedural requirements for activities to be undertaken by Jefferson County Community Development.

REQUEST FOR THE RELEASE OF FUNDS

On or about June 24, 2023, Jefferson County Community Development will submit a request to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development on behalf of Metro West Housing Solutions for the release of U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME) funds under Title II of the Cranston-Gonzales National Affordable Housing Act of 1990 as amended, to undertake the following project:

Project Title: Belmar Groves

Purpose: The purpose of the project is for Metro West Housing Solutions to rehabilitate an existing affordable 118-unit family development in Lakewood, CO. This extensive rehab will include interior upgrades to kitchens and bathrooms, exterior updates including new siding, new roofs, landscaping, and system (water/sewer) upgrades. HOME funds will be used to pay for the rehabilitation costs for the property located at 259 S. Teller Street in Lakewood. The property serves residents earning on average up to 50% of the area median income.

Location: 259 South Teller Street, Lakewood, CO 80226

Estimated Cost: HOME funds through Jefferson County: $500,000.00

Total Project Cost: $59,044,318.00

FINDING OF NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACT

Jefferson County Community Development has determined that the project will have no significant impact on the human environment. An Environmental Impact Statement under the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA), therefore, is not required. Additional project information is contained in the Environmental Review Record (ERR). The ERR will be made available to the public for review electronically via email, or by mailed hard copy by request. Please submit your request, weekdays 8 A.M. to 5 P.M., to Jefferson County at esander@jeffco.us or by phone at 303-248-6318.

PUBLIC COMMENTS

Any individual, group, or agency may submit written comments on the ERR to Jefferson County. All comments received by June 23, 2023, at 5 P.M., will be considered by Jefferson County prior to authorizing submission of a request for release of funds. Comments should specify which Notice they are addressing.

ENVIRONMENTAL CERTIFICATION

Jefferson County certifies to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development that Kat Douglas, Director, Housing, Economic and Employment Services Division, in her capacity as Certifying Officer consents to accept the jurisdiction of the Federal Courts if an action is brought to enforce responsibilities in relation to the environmental review process and that these responsibilities have been satisfied. The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development’s approval of the certification satisfies its responsibilities under NEPA and related laws and authorities and allows Jefferson County Housing Authority, d/b/a Foothills Regional Housing to use Program funds.

OBJECTIONS TO THE RELEASE OF FUNDS

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development will accept objections to its release of funds and Jefferson County Community Development’s certification for a period of 15 days following the anticipated submission date or its actual receipt of the request (whichever is later) only if they are made on one of the following bases: (a) the certification was not executed by the Certifying Officer of Jefferson County Community Development; (b) Jefferson County Community Development has omitted a step or failed to make a decision or finding required by U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development regulations at 24 CFR Part 58; (c) the grant recipient or other participants in the development process have committed funds, incurred costs, or undertaken activities not authorized by 24 CFR Part 58 before the approval of a release of funds by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development; or (d) another Federal agency, acting pursuant to 40 CFR part 1504, has submitted a written finding that the project is unsatisfactory from the standpoint of environmental quality.

Objections must be prepared and submitted via email in accordance with the required procedures (24 CFR Part 58, Sec. 58.76) and shall be addressed to Noemi Ghirghi, CPD Region VIII Director, at CPD_COVID-19OEE-DEN@hud.gov.

Potential objectors should contact CPD_COVID-19OEE-DEN@hud.gov to verify the actual last day of the objection period.

State breathes life into lifeguard training

More than $250,000 allocated to help open pools across the Front Range

BY JOHN RENFROW JRENFROW@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Countless public pools opened over the Memorial Day weekend as schools let out and summer approaches. But whether they remain open throughout the season is another matter.

e state of Colorado is boosting aid along the Front Range and across the state to help local pools avoid that outcome.

Gov. Jared Polis announcednancial help on May 30 for nearly 50 cities and districts as part of the Lifeguard Training Initiative — a follow-up to his administration’s Pools Special Initiative, launched last summer.

e initiative was announced early this month at the Northglenn Recreation Center, along with administrators, local o cials, lawmakers and community members.

“We are making a splash with this exciting support for lifeguards, part of our ongoing work to make sure that pools can safely open earlier, expand hours, and stay open longer this summer,” Polis said in his announcement.

“We are thrilled that so many local governments across the state applied for this funding so that families,

friends, and neighbors can dive right into the summer.”

e grants, implemented by the state’s local a airs and labor departments, ranged from $1,000 requests to $20,000, the maximum. In the end, the state allocated mixed amounts, but exhausted almost all of the available funds, leaving just $200 to potentially allocate supplementally..

South Suburban Parks and Recreation District (SSPRD), which reported a signi cant shortage of lifeguards earlier in the month, received $10,700 — the highest-allocated amount awarded to more than a dozen districts or cities. Cities like Aurora and Boulder received the same amount.

Part of the shortage lies with the expensive cost of training lifeguards. Many prospective employees may be dissuaded by the idea of paying to obtain lifeguard certi cation. ough it won’t solve the main shortage problem, having the funding helps, said SSPRD Aquatics Manager Karl Brehm, who came down from a lifeguard stand himself to talk to Colorado Community Media.

“It will help us reach a demographic that is lacking in having the funds upfront to start,” Brehm said. “With the grant, we will defer the payment of those [lifeguard] certi cation

Brehm said South Suburban, like many other area pools, must hire throughout the season to try and maintain strong employee numbers.

e funds from the state help provide time for pools to keep hiring and training ongoing, Brehm added. He described the support as not a favor, however, but a public service.

“It hearkens to a safety situation. People want to have the pools open. We want to have them open. But there’s a barrier that stands there,”
