always advocated for small businesses. “Since we’ve owned (Wheat Ridge Poultry & Meats), we try to support as many local products, producers and processors as we can,” Bobitsky explained.

Jefferson County has a new sticker to show that you’ve done your civic duty. The new “I Voted” sticker design is out, and it reflects Jeffco’s beautiful sunsets over the foothills and features the classic “I Voted” slogan in both English and Spanish.

Everyone will have access to the sticker, even those who voted by mail. The sticker will be included inside each ballot mailed in Jeffco in October for the Nov. 7 elections.

According to Jeffco Clerk and Recorder Amanda Gonzalez, the sticker holds a few different symbols of the county’s progress.

“The ‘I Voted’ sticker has always been a symbol of hope and excitement about using our voice to effect political change,” Gonzalez said. “I’m excited to have some Jeffco-specific flair in this year’s sticker and to feature both English and Spanish text, which is more inclusive — just like Jeffco aims to be.”

The sticker design release is a sign that voting season is approaching. Here’s some information from Gonzalez and the clerk’s office that you should know.

The spot nestled into the corner of Depew and 29th Streets in Wheat Ridge comes alive on Wednesday nights. It’s the Wheat Ridge Farmers Market and it’s created by sisters

and co-owners of Wheat Ridge Poultry & Meats, Heidi McCarty and Jessica Bobitsky. What began as a post-COVID attempt to bring the community back to eating and buying local has become so much more.

The sisters say that they have

MARKET FROM PAGE 1

COVID really brought the need for a market home for them, according to Bobitsky.

“After COVID, we really saw the need for local food producers.

And so, we applied for a grant,” Bobitsky said, adding that Wheat Ridge hasn’t had a farmers market in years.

“And so, we wanted to just bring back the farmers market to Wheat Ridge as well,” Bobitsky said.

The result was a market on a property that the sisters already owned in the heart of the community they wanted to service. They sought and acquired grant funding to help keep the costs to producers down. This allows the market to give producers an opportunity to open a space at the market for a $10 fee that covers the entire season.

Bobitsky explained that they wanted to also support new producers.

“When you’re starting out as a small producer, it’s very difficult to go and be in a farmers market,” Bobitsky explained.

She said this is tough, “when they’re charging you several hundred dollars just to be in (the market). And then 10% to 20% of your sales has to go back to that farmers

market.”

Bobitsky understands that farmers markets are businesses, but she says that model, “excludes a lot of small producers.”

The market they created has evolved into an incubator of sorts.

Vendors find that the space is more conducive to sharing information and collaboration. The community also provides traffic and space to build skills. The farmers market vendors are happy that have such a communal space for their businesses.

Twelve-year-old Lila Narracci of Lilac’s Designs is one of the “kid vendors.” She found the market by word of mouth and decided to give it a try. Narracci said she receives a lot of knowledge from other vendors, and Narracci’s mom, Kacey, called the market a learning experience.

The Colorado State University Extension Office Master Gardener Nate Goeckner was there to promote classes and to reach out to the Wheat Ridge community.

Sherri Juarez, also of the extension office explained that the market allows them a chance to connect with the Wheat Ridge community.

Emily Yuong, the owner of The Purple Dragon, a candy and sweets producer, called the farmers market a good “starter market.” She described the affordable booth fee and the traffic from the community as the quality she loves most.

The Wheat Ridge Farmers Market extended its hours to 8 p.m. on Wednesday nights COURTESY OF WHEAT RIDGE POULTRY & MEATS through September.

Bringing the community together to collaborate, train young entrepreneurs and promote local producers is only part of the market’s mission, according to Bobitsky.

“I think that we have to change the view of the community as to why we need to shop local,” she said. “I mean, people have a need to really reevaluate their spending, their food dollars.”

She added that local food and art help the producers and the buyers in the long run.

Bobitsky said the market is her vision — she wrote the plans and grants — but McCarty runs the team on the ground, manages the vendors, and coordinates everything at the markets. McCarty is the one who does the groundwork to make the market happen.

“I just kind of gave my overall vision to Heidi and the team,” Bobitsky said. “And they’re the ones that kind of went forward with it.

The nice thing about us is we work really well together, and we are kind of like a small family. We all

just do what’s gonna get done.”

Bobitsky hopes that the market grows even larger, bringing more local producers together with people looking to shop locally.

“I know Heidi says she always wants (the market) to become like Pearl Street Market,” Bobitsky said. “But really would like to keep the market free. And I’d love it if we do expand it, we always joke that we’re going to take over all of Depew Street. So that we can just continue to have more and more vendors show up in their neighborhood.”

Above all, the sisters want the market to fully benefit the local producers starting there.

“I really would like to see these vendors, to see their businesses grow,” Bobitsky said.

The Wheat Ridge Farmers’ Market is from 5-7 p.m. every Wednesday through September at Wheat Ridge Poultry & Meats on 29th and Depew Streets. For more information, check out the website wheatridgepoultry.com.

Transportation officials get stricter about express lane penalties

BY CHRIS KOEBERL CKOEBERL@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The Colorado Department of Transportation is getting serious about enforcing penalties for Interstate 70 mountain express lanes, and Idaho Springs is the early focus.

Enforcement will focus on the interstate’s Mountain Express Lanes between Idaho Springs and U.S. 40. Soon, though, seri-

ous penalties will be a reality everywhere, according to state officials.

“Starting Friday, July 21, motorists who drive unsafely in the Express Lanes on the I-70 Mountain Corridor will be issued fines known as civil assessment penalties,” a press release stated.

For the past month, drivers have received mailed warnings for violations such as using the

Express Lanes when they’re closed, weaving across the solid yellow lines and driving in lanes with oversized vehicles.

As of July 21, the warnings will cease, and drivers will be mailed fines starting at $75 and increasing to $150 if not paid within 20 days of issuance, the statement said.

More than 5,000 warnings have already been issued to drivers, according to CDOT. Cars drive down the I70 Express Lanes.

The National Heat Crisis Is Keeping Climate Change & Its Mitigation Top of Mind

Most Americans are conscious of the need to reduce carbon emissions which lead to global warming such as we are experiencing to a limited extent here in the metro area but to a much greater extent elsewhere in the country, Europe and the rest of the world.

Because of the increased attention to this topic, we’ll all be hearing more about “embedded” carbon, not just greenhouse gas emissions.

I’ve written in the past about the outsized contribution of cement and steel manufacturing to our climate change crisis. It is estimated that the manufacture of cement and steel are responsible for 5% and 7% of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions respectively, so a lot of attention is being fxocused on the “greening” of these two industries.

Both the Biden administration and the State of Colorado have enacted measures under “buy clean” terminology to accom-

plish a reduction of embedded GHG emissions in these two products in the bidding and construction of federal and state facilities — both buildings and highways/bridges.

Colorado is leading the nation with the passage of HB21-1303, the Buy Clean Colorado Act, which requires the Office of State Architect and CDOT to make sure that new projects are built with reduced embedded carbon emissions.

Because the state and federal governments are such major buyers of new construction, cement (and concrete) and steel producers are being forced to focus on reducing GHG emissions, the benefits of which will likely also affect private construction projects.

With the posting of this article at www.GoldenREblog.com I’ll include links to how Colorado is tackling the implementation of this law on all projects that are bid on starting Jan. 1, 2024.

HB21-1301 even wants to reduce the GHG emissions involved in the transportation of building materials from their place of the manufacture to the build site. The

Tankless water heaters have been promoted as an energy-saving appliance. The reasoning is simple. A traditional water heater is tasked with keeping a large tank of water hot — typically at 120ºF. A tankless water heater only heats water when you turn on a faucet.

The development of heat pump water heaters has changed that calculation. And they are the only water heaters that can earn you a 30% federal tax credit in addition to the $600 to $800 rebate earned by Xcel Energy customers. Xcel says heat pump water heaters are 65% more efficient than standard electric water heaters and can save you $900 in energy costs over 12 years.

There’s a secondary reason that I don’t like tankless water heaters. With a tank water heater (whether heat pump or conventional), you can install a recirculation line, allowing you to have instant hot water at even the farthest faucet from your water heater.

A plumber has installed such a line in every house I’ve owned for 20 years. Here’s how it works. Let’s say your water heater is in the basement and your primary bedroom is

on the second floor. You might draw a gallon or more of cold water before hot water reaches your faucet. And that’s water that had been heated but cooled off sitting in your pipes. By running a return line from your sink to the bottom of the water heater, your faucet becomes the “top” of your water heater, and hot water rises to the top of the tank, so no pump is needed. Voila! Instant hot water on tap. (You are saving water, too, by not running the tap until hot water arrives.)

Installing a recirculation line can involve a lot of drywall opening and repair if you have a finished basement and need to snake the line through ceilings and walls to a higher floor. If you have a ranch home with an unfinished basement (no drywall on the ceiling), you're spared much of that expense. To save on heat loss and energy, install insulation on the copper pipes going from the water heater to your distant faucet, assuming those pipes are accessible. The return line should be PEX, which is plastic and does not need insulating.

Installing a hot water recirculation line is a job that any plumber can do.

A continuum of care Homes courtesy of CASA and Foothills Regional Housing Authority for young adults exiting the foster care system

BY JO DAVIS JDAVIS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Two local agencies are partnering to bring affordable housing to young adults exiting the foster care system.

The Court Appointed Special Advocates, or CASA, of Jefferson and Gilpin Counties, recently won an award for an innovative housing program called YA at Avi alongside program partners Foothills Regional Housing.

The base of the program is the affordable housing unit AVi at Olde Town, which both agencies describe as an affordable housing complex for veterans and families.

Among them are emancipated foster youth who also needed affordable housing.

According to Leah Varnell, executive director of CASA of Jefferson

and Gilpin counties, the project started about 10 years ago. At that time, Varnell said the county’s juvenile justice focus shifted from younger foster children to the needs of foster teens.

“We started realizing that older youth involved in the system, the

ones emancipating and going out into the real world had horrible outcomes,” Varnell explained.

“Many were finding themselves on the street or without a place to live.

No job. Lots were pregnant. Lots of those youth were involved getting involved with criminal activity and

finding themselves incarcerated.”

Varnell said that Jefferson and Gilpin counties were not the only jurisdictions where this was happening. Other CASA offices across the country were experiencing this.

“It became evident to me and us here at CASA that that wasn’t right,” Varnell said. “We put so many resources into helping these kids from zero to 18.”

They worked on this issue for years before determining that CASA and the juvenile justice system needed to provide what Varnell described as a “continuum of care.” She and others in the system struggled to find a way to bridge the teens’ transition from foster care to independent living as young adults.

Varnell and others in her field decided that housing would be the focus of their work with the teens.

“I think we realized early on that we couldn’t just provide the housing,” she explained. “We had to deal with the other part of this.”

The other part was sustaining the youth and giving them the tools to survive adulthood.

CASA soon partnered with Foothills Regional Housing to provide housing for 30 young adults who aged out of the foster care system.

Ride with pride Westernaires unveil fun routines at annual Western Heritage Day shows

BY CORINNE WESTEMAN CWESTEMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Whether they were dressed as Gummy Bears, Mario Kart racers, or Disney characters the Westernaires made sure everyone was enjoying Western Heritage Day. About 500 Westernaires and adult volunteers hosted four performances July 19 for the annual event celebrating National Day of the American Cowboy. The Westernaires showcased a variety of mounted and ground routines, from trick-riding and interpretive dancing to whips and batons.

Outside the arena at Fort Westernaire — which is adjacent to the A Westernaire prepares to perform in the 2023 Western Heritage Day shows July 19 at Jefferson County Fairgrounds — PHOTOS BY CORINNE WESTEMAN attendees tried roping and stickFort Westernaire. horse riding, and stopped by the petting zoo, among other activities.

The Golden-based organization, which was founded in 1949 and has about 1,000 members aged 9 to 19, has hosted Western Heritage Day shows for almost 20 years. The event draws a lot of summer camps and families, so the performers put together silly, crowd-pleasing routines the younger attendees will enjoy, volunteer instructor Karen Kronauge explained.

The performers described how, while it’s a long day that requires tons of preparation and behindthe-scenes work, it’s worth it to see the smiles on people’s faces.

“I love seeing the kids’ faces light Maggie Galgano, 14, puts on her boots before riding in the Westernaires’ 2023 Western up,” said Jenna Lamm, 18, who’s VECTRA_4886_2023CD_Promotion_Print_WRT_9.625x4_1_v01.pdf 7/5/23 10:00 AM performed in the event three years Heritage Day shows1 July 19 at Fort Westernaire.

Quinn Owen, 15, said this was only her second Western Heritage Day, and riding in performances like this can be nerve-wracking.

However, the Westernaires have practiced their routines so many times now that it’s basically muscle memory, she said.

“We practice these drills so much, they get nailed into our brains,” Owen said.

The organization has several performance teams, like the Crimson Rangers and the Royal Rangers.

Each developed its own routine around a unique theme, ranging from “Star Wars” to the Easter Bunny.

Westernaires on multiple performance teams have to do quickchanges between routines.

Emrey King, 14, described how she’d be changing three times per show. She was performing with the “Star Wars”-themed base team, the Easter Bunny-themed Liberty team, and the “Mario Kart”-themed cart team.

“People don’t see all the hard work that goes into it,” King said of the Western Heritage Day shows.

She encouraged young people to sign up for the Westernaires, saying they don’t have to own a horse or have ever ridden one to join.

The organization is about teaching young people responsibility, discipline and leadership, she and others commented.

Lamm, Owen and King said the Westernaires practice about 10 hours a week, depending on the time of year. Along with taking care of the horses they own or rent, they do drills, diagram their routines, study equestrian safety and more.

CARE FROM PAGE 5

This came after a false start where Varnell said she tried to envision purchasing property to build a space for the youth. That process was long and complex.

Somewhere amid her struggle to bring a housing program together, Varnell found out that the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development had green-lit funding for programs similar to the one she wanted to start. She connected with them and things accelerated from there.

She initially wanted to build a program for 10 young adults. The HUD funding called for 30.

“So fast forward, we get to the beautiful place of having a collaboration with Foothills Regional Housing Authority,” she said. The housing authority provided “project-based vouchers” designed to support projects furthering affordable and accessible housing initiatives. That was in 2019.

In 2023, the YA (Youth Alliance) at AVi program started at the development AVi at Old Towne. “In February, we moved 30 of our older youth into a brand-new beautiful development in Arvada,” Varnell said. “And, those 30 youth will have about three years to finish our pro-

July 27, 2023 gram, which will include housing provided by the housing authority.

And then they’ll have the wraparound services that CASA will be providing.”

According to Varnell, the CASA services include a volunteer coach, which is a court-appointed advocate. However, they will not assume the advocate role for the youth in the new program.

“There is no court case for these youth,” Varnell said. “They have exited the court system, so we are calling those volunteer coaches there.”

The coaches are there to be like the advocates — a constant in the lives of the young adults. However, their role shifts from a court focus to a life skills focus.

According to Varnell, those skills include, “job and job training, education, financial literacy, budgeting, life skills, mental, physical and emotional health.” She said things like dental care and “social connectedness” are also important duties of the volunteer coach.

That social connection is vital, Varnell believes, to help the youth transition to living alone as well.

“These youth, you know, a lot of them have been in many foster homes, group homes, they’ve had a lot of people around them,” she said. “And so to move out on your own, it’s pretty isolating, right?”

The 30 youths thus live in a com-

plex that also houses veterans and families in the other 70 units.

“Ten units that were set aside for vets, veterans, and then the other 60 are families and single people,” she explained. “We wanted this to be a community.”

Varnell said that CASA remains an advocate, not a surrogate parent or supervisor for the youth.

“We aren’t the landlord,” she said. “Foothills Regional Housing is providing that service. They get the young adults all qualified. The housing authority does all the stuff related to the leasing, and who can qualify for the lease. And that’s first and foremost. Because if you can’t qualify for the lease, then you can’t live there. And then you couldn’t be a part of our program. So we do we let them do all that.”

CASA does form a partnership of sorts and the youth have additional requirements.

“We come along with our Youth Alliance program commitments,” Varnell said. “They have to agree to certain expectations and certain things in the contract. They have to agree that they will work with a volunteer coach, and then they will make progress toward goals and that they will complete an independent service plan that has shortterm and long-term objectives and goals.”

Arming the former foster kids to thrive in adulthood is the focus

of the program. Varnell described other services that they provide, which include for example parenting classes for the teen moms in the group. “The goal is stopping the cycle and making sure that those young adults can provide what they need for their children. So those children don’t end up back in the system, which many do, Varnell said.”

The program recently received an award for its work—an award from the housing sector. With the combined efforts of CASA Jeffco/Gilpin and Foothills Regional Housing, AVi at Old Towne won the Eagle Award.

It’s known in the housing sector as one of the highest achievements for the Colorado housing community.

The Eagle Awards are presented to Colorado organizations that exhibit extraordinary accomplishments and leadership in housing and support services.

“We are honored to win this recognition for our work with Foothills Regional Housing to provide critical housing and support to youth aging out of foster care,” said Leah Varnell, executive director of CASA of Jefferson and Gilpin Counties. “We hope to provide a better, safer start to their future and we look forward to this program making a difference in people’s lives.”

Jefferson County kicks off two-year update of five plans and regulations

BY TEDDY JACOBSEN TJACOBSEN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Jefferson County officials are looking to shake things up over the next two years.

A long list of county plans will be reevaluated and potentially updated. Everything from wildfire evacuation to transportation policies are on the table in what’s dubbed “Together Jeffco.”

The county’s Comprehensive Master Plan, Community Wildfire Protection Plan, Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan’s Evacuation Annex, Transportation Master Plans and Land Use Code are among the plans that could be updated.

The goal of this project, announced in July, is to redesign land use, plan for evacuations and to align transportation policies with goals, according to the county’s website. County representatives said the process should provide a

cohesive vision for the future of the county and identify priorities for addressing growth, regulations and services.

“One of our goals is to help streamline our process and become more efficient as we work together to help articulate our community vision for Jefferson County,” Jefferson County Development and Transportation Director Abel Montoya said in a recent press release.

The county is currently evaluating plans, reviewing existing conditions and developing a process to include the public in its decision-making.

This phase is anticipated to conclude in August of this year, according to the county’s website.

The following phases involve multiple stages of drafting the plans and regulations. The county anticipates this process to be completed by July 2024.

Public review of the land use code is expected for December of 2024 and public hearings in early 2025.

Jefferson County plans to be reevaluated in what is dubbed Together Jeffco.

COURTESY OF JEFFERSON COUNTY

The county anticipates the project to take 18 to 24 months with adoption of the other four plans planned for October of 2024.

Residents can get involved with

the drafting process through public workshops, surveys and open houses over the next two years by visiting the Together Jeffco website (https://togetherjeffco.com/).

Littleton to host SpaceX rocket booster exhibit City teams up with DISH and Colorado-based foundation Telluray

BY SHEA VANCE SVANCE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

In an effort to boost tourism, Littleton will this fall display a 146-foot-tall SpaceX Falcon 9 first-stage rocket booster. The free attraction, which would be the third of its kind in the country, can be seen on the DISH Network corporate office campus on Bowles and Santa Fe. Cantey Ergen, co-founder of DISH, said that the company aims to “bring aerospace technology to the community.”

Littleton’s city council recently heard about the plan during a presentation at a July 18 council meeting. The booster is expected to be delivered

by SpaceX — the well-known spacecraft manufacturer founded by business mogul Elon Musk — in September.

Littleton Public Works and Utilities Director Keith Reester told members of the city council about the roles and responsibilities shared between the city, DISH, and the Telluray Foundation, which is funding the project.

The DISH location has a “great deal of regulatory interaction,” with approval required from seven separate entities which all own, maintain, or manage part of the land being used for the project, Reester said.

Littleton resident Pam Chadbourne raised concern about the project during public comment, questioning SpaceX’s relevance in the community

and asking the council why the project is only now being brought to the public’s attention.

Reester told the council that a high volume of regulatory requirements were “why the project has taken a little while,” and that the city wanted to get approval from all involved parties before moving forward. DISH first approached the city with the idea in 2021.

All seven agencies — Littleton, DISH, the State of Colorado, the Mile High Flood District, the Army Corps of Engineers, South Suburban Parks and Recreation District, and the Federal Emergency Management Administration — have completed regulatory review and approval, according to the presentation.

The proximity to the South Platte River and nearby drainage ways implicates more agencies than might be required at a different location.

“The timing on this project has shifted a number of times,” said City Manager Jim Becklenberg.

The Telluray Foundation is providing a $2.4-million grant to complete the project, but DISH will be responsible for upkeep and maintenance costs after the initial assembly is complete.

The 146-foot rocket booster — almost half the length of a football field — will sit horizontal on the western end of the DISH campus, spanning the Littles Creek Trail. It will be on supports that keep the booster about 10 feet off the ground.

Councilors Patrick Driscoll, Kelly Milliman, Stephen Barr and Jerry Valdes raised concerns regarding the location, particularly the impact it would have on foot and bike traffic on the Mary Carter Greenway.

Ergen said that DISH landed on the location because it was “off the beaten path,” referring to Bowles and Santa Fe traffic, while still being accessible to locals.

Reester and Ergen assured councilors that the placement of the rocket will not significantly hinder foot traffic, as there will be a plot of concrete set aside from the path where people can stand and view. They also said it will have no impact on the South Platte floodplain, and will have minimal impact on the Littles Creek floodplain.

Despite concerns, the plan received general support from councilors.

Milliman said that, aside from the economic and tourism benefits, the educational advantages will serve the community well.

“To get these kids interested in engineering, I am truly so excited about all of this,” Milliman said during the discussion period following the presentation.

Reester also sees the exhibition as an opportunity to boost use of public transportation, as it may be difficult to find parking near the DISH campus.

New program offers free community college for prospective early childhood teachers

r

n. y

A new Colorado program will cover the cost of community college for students seekPHOTO BY ANDREA MORALES FOR CHALKBEAT ing early childhood credentials.

BY ANN SCHIMKE CHALKBEAT COLORADO

Colorado residents interested in early childhood and five other high-demand careers can get training for free starting this fall at more than a dozen community colleges around the state.

It’s part of a new $40 million state program called Career Advance Colorado that’s intended to mint thousands of workers in shortage areas. Besides early childhood education, the program will cover tuition, course materials, and fees for up to two years of training for students studying education, construction, law enforcement, nursing, and fire and forestry.

“All these fields are in need of great folks to fill jobs that are open today and that are critical for our state’s success,” said Gov. Jared Polis in a recorded announcement about Career Advance.

The program is open to new students and those currently enrolled in one of the six target areas. For those already enrolled, the state will pay for their remaining coursework.

The offer of free training for prospective early childhood employees comes amid an ongoing shortage of child care and preschool teachers that’s led to shuttered classrooms at some centers. The need for qualified staff has become even more pressing as Colorado prepares to launch a major expansion of tuition-free preschool in August.

More than 31,000 4-year-olds are expected to participate.

Career Advance is the latest effort by state policymakers to beef up the anemic pipeline of early childhood teachers. In recent years, the state used COVID stimulus money to pay for two introductory early childhood classes for hundreds of college students. It also offered scholarship and apprenticeship programs for students seeking early childhood credentials.

In Colorado, where the median preschool teacher wage is around $15.25 an hour, it’s hard to make a living in the early childhood field.

The cost of college classes or student loan debt makes the barrier to entry even higher.

State officials and advocates recently have taken tentative steps towards addressing the field’s abysmal pay. As part of an effort to pay preschool teachers a living wage, the state pays a higher per-student rate in the new universal preschool program than it pays public schools for each K-12 student. In addition, the state recently unveiled a report recommending a series of statewide early childhood salary scales that would significantly boost pay.

For example, the suggested rate would be at least $22 an hour for early childhood teachers in metro Denver and some mountain communities. The salary scales are not binding for preschool and child care providers, but show what workers in different regions would need to earn to make a living wage.

VOICES Money doesn’t grow on trees

G

overnment cannot do everything. That sentence is a popular truism on the political right. It is correct for a very practical reason. The government does not have an endless supply of money. Money for government projects does eventually dry up once those funds are exhausted. Budgets have limits. Of course, there are some who would like for the government to do more with more money from the public.

But if taxes are raised to sky-high levels, then some will feel disincentivized to earn money. That ultimately serves no end because tax revenues would then dry up. Tax money does not grow on trees, it is generated by the work and sweat that citizens toil under to provide for themselves.

When I started to write this series of opinion pieces on the budget I did it with the intention of sharing something that Jefferson County

and Colorado does that has a large impact on your lives as citizens. I could have written much more than I have. Zero-based budgeting is a particular pet peeve of mine because it forces unnecessary and unwarranted Columnist governmental expenditures to occur because revenues and expenditures must always be equal. I wanted to share how unfunded mandates from both the federal and state government crowd out the budgetary choices that should only belong to our elected officials here in Jefferson County and Colorado.

I am on the political right. I think the Taxpayers Bill of Rights (TABOR) is a good thing. I believe that government should restrain its

JOE WEBB

spending and think about what it spends seriously and with deliberation. I am not someone who thinks that those on the lower rungs of America’s economic ladder should be left in benign neglect. Government does indeed take care of the less fortunate in our society but they cannot do a perfect job of it. Private charity then steps up to augment where government assistance leaves off. Those who contribute towards the many wonderful and varied private charities within our state contribute their money in the hopes of assisting Colorado’s less fortunate. Those charities and donors deserve a hearty thank you from all of us because they make the lives of the less fortunate in Colorado better. In fact, what they do is keep budgets from becoming larger than they already currently are. May it always be so that generosity is extended by good individuals that desire to

reach areas and serve needs that the government cannot.

Budgets are ultimately a series of choices made by the government of a locale as to how to spend tax revenue. The inputs into how a budget is crafted are ultimately more complex than many realize. Writing about the state budget matters in the further education of the general public and how both they and elected officials handle the budgetary choices made in both the state and county level. I encourage you to question your state legislators about how they vote on the long bill. You should attend hearings about budget concerns that affect you and those whom you know personally. Most importantly, take the time to tell others in Jefferson County and Colorado about what you have learned.

Joe Webb is the former chairman of the Jeffco Republican party.

Lessons from the masters

uring a conversation with a couple of friends and colleagues in the personal and professional development industry, we found our way into the topic of how we got started in the business and who some the early heroes were who inspired and motivated us to be better.

As we thought about those legendary speakers and authors, we also talked about how their teachings have withstood the test of time. Although they all began their own journey many decades ago, the principles that each one built their body of work upon are all still relevant today. The greatest compliment paid to them is that we can find iterations of their work in the published books, blogs and columns of today’s thought leaders.

Although we agreed on a few names, each of us had our top three or four. For me, the authors and experts who had a significant impact on my success included Zig Ziglar, Tom Hopkins, Denis Waitley

A publication of

and David Sandler.

Looking at Zig Ziglar’s career, many will refer to him as the master motivator, or remember him as the salesman’s salesman.

With more than 30 books to his name, Zig taught us all so much about life, not Michael Norton just sales, leadership, or business, his teachings went far beyond those topics. Zig was all about building up the person as his mission was to help as many people as possible with their personal, professional and spiritual lives so that he could have a positive impact on the world. I thank Zig for all that he taught me and for being an incredible role model of consistency, guiding me to being a “meaningful specific,” instead of a “wandering generality.” If you haven’t read “See You at the Top” I highly recom-

mend it.

As a student of Tom Hopkins and having read every book he has written and having attended dozens of his seminars, I credit Tom with helping me become a top performer throughout my career. Even in leadership roles, his teachings were so impactful. In sales, we hear the word “no” a whole lot more often than we hear “yes.” Tom Hopkin’s Champion Creed instilled in me the specific mindset I needed to push through the losses and bad days and work towards the overwhelmingly successful days. The Champion Creed says this, “I am not judged by the number of times I fail, but by the number of times I succeed. And the number of times I succeed is in direct proportion to the number of times I can fail and keep trying.” If you are in sales, Tom’s book “How to Master the Art of Selling” is a must-read.

both a personal and professional relationship. Denis taught me so much about the attitude of winning and defining success. He was a terrific encourager, and I would leave every conversation with him having learned so much more each time. His book and program, “The Psychology of Winning,” and now “The New Psychology of Winning,” will inspire you and teach you how to create your own blueprint for success.

Last, and certainly not least, David Sandler was so far ahead of his time with his revolutionary sales process. David’s approach is a simple one, disarming honesty.

He developed a sales process that favored the buyer and the seller so that the interaction was based on both parties being willing to have an open and honest adult-toadult truth-based conversation. No manipulation, just a conversation where there is no mystification

Housing advocates: Budget cuts could cause more homelessness

BY ERIC GALATAS PUBLIC NEWS SERVICE

Colorado’s minimum wage workers would have to work 94 hours per week to afford a modest twobedroom apartment, according to a new report.

Even after a deal was struck to avoid a default on the nation’s bills, Congress is still moving to cut roughly 22% from the U.S. Housing and Urban Development’s budget.

Cathy Alderman, chief communications and public policy officer at the Colorado Coalition for the Homeless, said cuts to affordable housing and rental assistance programs would be devastating for the nation’s most vulnerable populations.

“If that happens, almost a million households that are currently receiving rental assistance could

lose that rental assistance, at a time when housing costs are increasing,” Alderman pointed out. “It’s likely that those households would fall into homelessness.”

The GOP controlled House of Representatives passed legislation in April calling for across the board cuts to non-military spending, which the Biden administration estimates would result in lost rental assistance for 10,000 Colorado families, including older adults, people with disabilities, and families with children.

Families of color have long faced discriminatory housing policies, dating to soldiers returning from World War II being denied down payments under the GI Bill, and being denied mortgages in certain neighborhoods.

Alderman pointed out such families would also take the biggest hit if Who are some of your favorite authors and experts?

Congress succeeds in cutting housing assistance now.

“Those households are going to be at much greater risk of falling into housing insecurity,” Alderman emphasized. “And particularly homelessness, at a time when the Black and Native American populations are already disproportionately represented in the households experiencing homelessness.”

The National Low Income Housing Coalition report ranked Colorado the eighth least-affordable state in the nation for housing. Alderman argued the best and most efficient use of tax dollars from HUD, Proposition

123 funding and other recent affordable housing policies is to invest in solutions for the lowest income households with the greatest need.

“If we don’t stabilize those individuals, they will fall into the cycle of homelessness,” Alderman contended. “They will draw down more resources, because it is much more expensive to be in the cycle of homelessness than it is to stay stably housed.”

OBITUARIES AUSTIN

William “Bill” Austin

February 17, 1945 - July 19, 2023

William “Bill” Austin passed away on July 19, 2023 at the age of 78 after a short, but tough battle with cancer. He was born on February 17, 1945, and was the son of Roxie and Bill Austin. He spent his early childhood in Hot Springs, Arkansas with his two younger sisters Pat and Barb. Later, the family of five settled in Arvada in 1956.

Bill’s life was full of accomplishments. He was a talented wrestler. He was a League and District champion and wrestled in the finals for the State Championship for the Arvada Redskins. At Northeastern Junior College, he was named Junior College All American wrestler and was part of the 1964 National Championship team. He earned an Associates from NJC and a Bachelor’s degree from Colorado State College. His careers included driving buses, National Guardsman, and Master Plumber. He retired from the city of Arvada after having been a Building Inspector for 23 years. Bill was a proud member of the Arvada community since 1956 with deep roots and friendships that lasted his lifetime.

His life-long love of fishing earned him the

Austin family record with a 42-inch, 26-pound muskie.

No other accomplishment could compare to the love and devotion he had for his family. Bill met the love of his life, Kathy, in high school and they were married for 57 years. They literally built a home and life together with their two children, Heath and Kaylynn. The family expanded with in-laws Brad, and Sandy who he treated as his own. His pride and joy became his grandchildren, Annabeth, Case, Briar, and Bray.

Bill is survived by his wife Kathy, children Heath Austin (Sandy), Kaylynn Johnson (Brad), sister Barb Roark (Tim), brother-inlaw Russ Mayer, sister-in-law Barb Stolte, and countless nieces and nephews. Bill was preceded in death by his parents, Bill & Roxie Austin and his sister Pat Mayer, and his beloved dog Enders.

A funeral service in honor of Bill’s life will be held on July 26, 2023 @ 1:00 p.m. at Horan and McConaty @ 7577 W. 80th Ave., Arvada 80003 followed by a reception at the house that Bill, family, and friends built.

BUILDING BOOKISH COMMUNITIES

BY MCKENNA HARFORD MHARFORD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

T

hrough the window in her kitchen, Sam

Monson occasionally catches glimpses of neighbors and visitors who stop to peruse the books in her little free library on the Tucker Gulch trail in Golden.

Sometimes it’s a biker taking a break or children playing on the slide Monson set up next to the library or a fellow reader refilling the book selection. These moments never fail to make her smile.

“It brings me just a ton of joy to see people enjoying it and enjoying the space,” Monson said. “I think it’s also enriched my kids’ love and appreciation for literature because they get so excited about finishing a book and passing it on.”

Monson built her library in 2017 and registered it with Little Free Library, a Minnesota-based nonprofit that aims to increase access to literature by providing blueprints and guides to build community libraries, as well as mapping registered libraries across the country.

Hundreds of little free libraries have popped up across the Denver metro area as their popularity proliferates. Monson said she was inspired to build her library after visiting others with her 11-year-old twins Tommy and Luci, who are avid readers.

“I really believe in the importance of building community and connection for wellness, so I thought it was a great way to build community shortly after we moved to Golden,” she said. “So it was their love of reading and my want to build community that made it happen.”

Since the library is on a bike and walking path, it’s not accessible by car, so Monson took advantage of the unique environment by adding a bench, a slide and fairy gardens around the library to make it an inviting spot for visitors.

COURTESY SAM MONSON

One of the more recent little free libraries in the metro area is the one at Castle View High School, which was built as a memorial to student Brooke Adams, who died in April. Adams loved to read, so her school book club worked with others to build the library in her honor.

“We wanted to create a space for people to pause and enjoy the green belt that we’re on and the bike path is on,” she said. “Especially through covid, it was a way that I felt like we could put wellness out in the world with something as healthy as reading that creates a mindful, peaceful experience, but also gets them outside and active.”

Monson said the library quickly became self-sustaining once it opened and has since become a fixture in the community.

“People often comment to thank us or leave notes,” she said. “It’s like an identity of our family, which we love.”

On top of being a way to build community, little free libraries improve access to literature. Unite for Literacy, a publishing company that tracks book deserts, estimates only a third of Colorado homes have more than 100 books.

Amber DeBerry, Director of Community Engagement for Douglas County Libraries, said improving access to reading materials, whether that’s books, magazines, journals or comics, is important because reading benefits everyone.

“If you have access to books prior to the age of five, your success rates in school drastically increase,” DeBerry said. “For people who don’t have the opportunity or ability to purchase books, libraries are an incredible community asset.”

In Dianne Shantz’s neighborhood in Adams County, she noticed there weren’t nearly as many little free libraries as more affluent areas of Denver, so Shantz built one in 2021.

Shantz used a thrifted coffee table and an old kitchen counter with a repurposed fireplace door to create a weatherproof library and food pantry near her community’s shared mailbox, which provides steady foot traffic.

“I’m proud to say (the library) is self-sustaining because it shows that there was a need there, and that’s true of the pantry too,” she said.

Shantz said she enjoys having opportunities to share her love of reading and tries to stock the library with books she knows her visitors will read.

“Being new to the neighborhood, it’s given me a chance to meet my neighbors,” she said. “A lot of Hispanic people live in the area, so I try to include Spanish books. One lady likes Danielle Steel, so I put those in when I can.”

For Kate Garland, a graduate of Castle View High School in Castle Rock, building a little free library was a way to memorialize her friend and fellow student Brooke Adams, who died in April.

Garland met Adams through the school book club she started and they bonded over reading.

“Brooke and I both loved the ‘The Summer I Turned Pretty’ series by Jenny Han and somebody donated the entire set so we made sure that those were in there,” Garland said. “Some of Brooke’s other friends also picked booked they thought she would like.”

When Adams died, Garland worked with Adams’ family, school officials, the school’s Technology Students Association and book club members to build the library and host a book drive to fill it. Materials for the library were donated by the local Ace Hardware and community members donated more than 1,000 books during the drive.

“The community support around it and the continuing book donations have been really rewarding for me and the book club and the TSA members who helped,” she said.

As Garland heads to Arapahoe Community College, the stewardship of the library will pass on to other students in the book club.

“We wanted to make sure it would keep going, even after I’m gone,” she said.

To find these little free libraries and more, go to littlefreelibrary.org.

At Dianne Schantz’s library in Adams County, she added a free pantry to help serve her commuCOURTESY DIANNE SCHANTZ nity’s needs. Schantz said both the library and pantry are self-sustaining.

For instance, you may know Stevie Wonder but you probably don’t know Gov. Elias Ammons. Chong has researched the stories of the blind for over three decades. She excitedly shares their biographies with anyone willing to listen, primarily through a monthly email list.

“People often find the stories hard to believe, that there’s something special about these blind people,” Chong said. “If you read on, you do find that there was something special about them because they just never quit.”

Chong, who lives in Aurora, was born blind into a family that understood her struggles. Three of her four sisters and her mother were also born blind. Chong said the support and connection she received from her family is rare for the majority of blind people.

“Everything you do feels like you’re reinventing the wheel,” Chong said. “And you may not have a community around you to help you not feel that way.”

Almost 8% of the U.S. population are visually impaired in some way, according to Georgetown University’s Health Policy Institute.

Just over 4 million Americans aged 16 to 64 have a visual disability and another 3 million people 65-years-old and older have one, according to the National Federation of the Blind.

Chong said most people go blind later in life due to health issues or injuries. She said it is easy for people to lose faith in their abilities because of a stigma about

what blind people can do.

“Too often we’re told that a blind person can’t do that, but blind people throughout the years have accomplished so much in their work,” Chong said.

The main stories she tells involve the jobs and work that blind people have had over the years.

Over 70% of potentially employable adults with a visual disability in the United States do not have full-time jobs, according to Cornell University’s U.S. Disability Statistics.

Chong said sharing stories of blind people inspires people today to work the jobs that they want to do, in spite of the adversary.

For example, Chong said most Coloradans don’t know the state

had a blind governor. Elias Ammons was the 19th governor of the state, serving from 1913 to 1915.

Although he had some vision, Chong said, it was not enough to read or recognize people across the room.

“The irony of some of the discrimination is unbelievable when you find out what these blind people accomplished later in their lives,” she said.

Chong moved to the state five years ago, where she almost immediately started searching through records in the Colorado Center for the Blind basement.

She said she discovered records dating back more than 100 years.

She led the effort to digitize and transcribe the pages for blind people to read through optical

character recognition, which is a system that scans printed text so it can be spoken in synthetic speech or saved to a computer file.

The project started four years ago, and Chong said she is almost done putting the files on the Colorado Virtual Library website.

President of the National Federation of the Blind of Colorado Jessica Beecham said Chong’s work is vital for showing other blind people their rich history is out there and worth sharing.

“As a blind person, I never knew our history,” Beecham said in a press release. “I thought we as blind people were always the first to do or try anything. That is so lonely. But, through her research, I, and thousands more are learning that we have broad shoulders of our blind ancestors to stand on, inspiring us to climb higher and reach farther.”

Chong won the Jacob Bolotin Award at the annual convention of the National Federation of the Blind in Houston, Texas earlier this month. The award comes with $5,000 to help her advance her research into the history of the blind of the United States.

The Dr. Jacob Bolotin Awards honor individuals and organizations that are a positive force in the lives of blind people. The namesake of the award, Bolotin (1888-1924), is hailed as the world’s first physician who was blind from birth.

Each year the National Federation of the blind presents the awards at its annual convention. This is the second time she received this award for her work, the first coming in 2018.

Her new project will take her to the Library of Congress archives in Washington D.C. where she will research and tell the history of an awards program through the Harmon Foundation from 1928-1932.

“This award means a lot to me,” Chong stated. “It represents the validation by my peers that my work to uncover the lost history of our blind ancestors is important.”

How Coloradans can save water at home Experts share tips, insight into water-saving strategies

BY SHANNON MULLANE THE COLORADO SUN

OK, Coloradans, let’s clear the shampoo out of our eyes: Your shower water is likely connected to the Colorado River water supply crisis. But can you really help by conserving water at home?

In recent years, two decades of drought and prolonged overuse have brought the Colorado River Basin’s largest storage reservoirs to the brink of collapse. The crisis is reaching Coloradans’ lives in the form of summer lawn watering restrictions, higher utility bills and even a shortage of Sriracha. Some cities have bought agricultural water rights for more municipal water, and people with junior water rights often have their water supply cut in dry years.

Water experts say Colorado residents can help with the crisis, and they have plenty of tips to help the conservation-minded Coloradan start saving water at home. One drawback: In many cases, there’s no guarantee that in-home savings help refill the system’s struggling reservoirs.

“It’s like, OK great, our city is now saving 10% of what it was using,” said Gregor MacGregor, a water law expert at the University of Colorado. “The question is, what is your city going to do with that 10%? Are they going to leave it in the Colorado River Basin? Are they going to leave it in a reservoir for drought conditions? Or are they simply going to divide that savings out to build more and then use that savings on new development?”

The average American fam-

ily uses more than 300 gallons of water per day at home, and about 70% of that use is indoors. In the arid West, states have some of the highest per capita residential water use because of landscape irrigation, according to the Environmental Protection Agency.

In Colorado, water users run through 5.43 million acre-feet of water per year. One acre-foot supports two families of four to five people for one year.

Of that, 90%, or about 4.8 million acre-feet, is used by the agriculture industry. About 380,000 acrefeet is used in cities and towns, and of that, only about 46% goes to indoor water uses like toilets, faucets, laundry machines and showers.

That means that the impact of in-home water conservation is going to be limited in the grand scheme of water use in the Colora-

do River Basin, where the amount of water stored in reservoirs like Lake Powell and Lake Mead has declined dramatically.

“While the bulk of that water to help prevent Lake Powell from collapsing will come from agriculture, cities need to do their part,” said John Berggren, senior regional water policy analyst for Western Resource Advocates. “Municipalities’ water use matters. It’s small … but it matters.”

Home water use falls primarily into two categories: indoor and outdoor.

In Colorado, residents tend to use more water outdoors watering their lawns and gardens. That’s led to the rise of water-wise landscaping efforts, like those currently being showcased at the Denver Botanic Gardens.

Indoors, Colorado residents use about 60 gallons per capita each

day. That leaves them with plenty of opportunities for conservation — and accidental waste.

In 2016, toilets were the main culprits of water use in homes nationwide, using 24% of household water, followed by showers, 20%; faucets, 19%; and washing machines, 17%, according to the EPA. Americans use more than 1 trillion gallons of water each year just for showering. The average shower is eight minutes, which means it uses more than 16 gallons of water at 2.1 gallons per minute.

Letting your faucet run for five minutes while washing dishes can waste 10 gallons of water.

Each year, household leaks waste nearly 900 billion gallons of water nationwide, which is enough to supply water to 11 million homes.

And about 50% of the water used outside is lost because of wind, evaporation and runoff from inefficient irrigation systems, according to the EPA. “We’re now in a world where feet matter in Lake Powell. Drops of water matter because we’re on a knife’s edge. When you’re in that tight of a spot, every single water use matters. No matter how small,” Berggren said.

There are a few simple ways to cut back on water use at home, including some Colorado-specific programs.

Yes, taking shorter showers can decrease water use and cut back on your water bill. The EPA says that, if all 300 million people in the U.S. reduced their shower time by one minute each time, the country could save 170 billion gallons each year.

Turning off the tap while brushing your teeth can save 8 gallons of water per day, and only running the dishwasher when it’s full can SEE WATER, P21

save the average family about 320 gallons of water per year, according to the EPA. But Berggren says rather than changing habits — which we all know can have a hit-or-miss success rate — he’d start with making purchases, like a more efficient shower fixture.

The EPA says households can boost their water efficiency by 20% when residents switch to products with WaterSense labels.

And a shower that lasts for five minutes using a low-flow showerhead uses 12 gallons of water, according to a 2014 Colorado State University water use fact sheet.

Similar savings are possible with toilets: Those made before 1993 use 3.5 to 8 gallons per flush, while high efficiency toilets made after 1993 use 1.6 gallons per flush or less. That means a family of four can save 14,000 to 25,000 gallons per year by switching to more efficient toilets. (The date of manufacture of most toilets is on the underside of the tank lid.)

Updating your washing machine can also make a big difference. Conventional, top-loading washing machines use 35 to 50 gallons per load. Newer frontloading machines use 18 to 20 gallons per load, according to CSU. For those who have updated their appliances and are careful about water use around the house, there’s a way to take athome efficiency a step further: grey water reuse.

These systems capture grey water — the runoff from showers, bathroom sinks and laundry machines — and then use it for other purposes, like watering ornamental plants outside or flushing toilets, at the same location. This water can contain dirt, oil, greases, lint and possibly human pathogens, so don’t use it to drink or water your vegetables, experts say.

Laundry-to-landscape systems installed by homeowners, which capture washing machine water for outdoor irrigation, can cost as little as $350, said Jon Novick, the environmental administrator for the Denver Department of Public Health and Environment.

Whole house systems pipe water from showers and bathroom sinks through a treatment process and then send it to toilets to provide water for flushing. The system alone can cost $6,000 to $8,000, not including installation costs, so they’re more feasible for new houses or developments with multiple units, Novick said.

They’re often cost prohibitive for existing homes.

The crisis is reaching Coloradans’ lives in the form of summer lawn watering restrictions, higher utility bills and even SHUTTERSTOCK IMAGE a shortage of Sriracha.

These systems also come with a catch: Local governments need water rights that allow for reuse, which limits the adoption of grey water programs, and new installations are only legal if the local government has officially approved grey water reuse. People with pre-existing systems should check with their local programs to see if their system can be grandfathered in.

As of July, six local governments have approved grey water reuse, including the city and county of Denver, Pitkin County, Fort Collins, Grand Junction and Golden.

Those who draw water from wells will need to check their permits. Exempt well permits, for example, do not allow reuse of indoor water for outdoor irrigation.

If a grey water system saves 25 gallons per day and is installed in 500,000 homes, it could save 14,000 acre-feet per year. That’s enough water to supply 28,000 homes, Novick said.

But the counties that have approved grey water ordinances have seen little uptake. As of June, Denver had approved 30 systems; Castle Rock, 29 systems; and Pitkin County, zero, according to each county’s program manager.

Whether water efficiency measures translate into conservation in the Colorado River Basin depends on factors ranging from where a resident lives to local water management decisions.

Water pulled from the Colorado River Basin on the Western Slope never returns to the basin. Front Range residents could use less water in the hope that more water could stay on the Western Slope, but there are no incentives for Front Range water providers to give up such a valuable resource because of water savings, said MacGregor, the water law expert at CU. “Anyone who pockets (water)

savings can make a ton of money by selling those savings to another water user,” he said. “The question is, what is the mechanism for leaving water on the Western Slope through conservation?”

Even if a water efficiency program is enormously successful, cities and towns can still choose to use their water savings toward building new developments, rather than leaving them in reservoirs.

“This is the really frustrating part of what’s happened in a lot of areas. It’s like, you look at it, and efficiency has increased per capita, use has decreased over time, but we’re still susceptible to drought,” MacGregor said. “It’s because we’re not actually banking those savings.”

If at-home water efficiency measures are adopted widely, and the unused water is conserved for the future, those savings can help storage at local reservoirs and even help meet environmental and ecological needs by keeping more water in streams. It could even be used by downstream water rights holders who might have their supply cut off earlier in a dry year.

But there’s no guarantee that the water will reach the Colorado River’s main storage reservoirs, like Lake Powell on the Utah-Arizona border. That would require complicated, interstate legal and

administrative procedures — an option being explored by Colorado.

Experts are adamant: Residents should still try to use water efficiently at home.

If Colorado residents are more efficient in their water use, then cities and towns could pull less water from rivers and streams on the front end, which leaves water in the stream for others.

Landscapes could be better able to withstand wet and dry years with the addition of native plants.

Treatment plants spend less money on treating water before releasing it, which could help with water bills, experts say.

“This isn’t a situation that there’s going to be one thing that’s going to solve the problem.

It’s more of a case of incremental change, so every little bit helps,” Novick said. “If you’re saving a gallon of water by taking a shorter shower, or two gallons of water — if everyone were to do that … all of that would add up. We have to think of this more holistically.”

Stimulants and survival: Unhoused Coloradans turn to methamphetamine as a form of protection

BY ALISON BERG AND ZACH BEN-AMOTS ROCKY MOUNTAIN PBS

Stephen Copeland hardly knows life outside of prison.

He has spent 24 of his 65 years of life rotating through correctional facilities in the state. He can count them all and recite how long he stayed in each, and for what offense.

Most recently, Copeland did 24 years in the Limon Correctional Facility for arson.

Now living on the street in Colorado Springs, Copeland does his best to stay out of trouble by cleaning up after himself, not using drugs in front of too many people and avoiding fights. But life inside could have been worse, Copeland said. He spent his days lifting weights, socializing and trying to forget the grim realities of living inside a locked box with little to look forward to on the outside.

Other prisoners could be brutal, he said. Fights were frequent and Copeland said inmates often had to make rash decisions to protect themselves or others.

He survived as a member of the

Aryan Brotherhood, a white supremacist gang. He was a member of Aryan Brotherhood long before prison, though Copeland said people have two choices when they’re incarcerated: join a gang or fall victim to a gang.

“I got more respect in prison than I did out here, by far,” Copeland said. “I knew all the fellows in the joint and they all knew me.”

Copeland was introduced to white supremacy as a teenager in Colorado Springs, where he grew up. He said the Aryan Brotherhood and its beliefs aren’t uncommon in Colorado’s second-largest city.

On its surface, Colorado Springs is known for its proximity to Pikes Peak, military presence and its evangelical base. But the city has a dark underbelly, Copeland said.

One of white supremacy, violence and heavy drug usage.

Around the same time he was introduced to violent racism, Copeland also found methamphetamine. He snorted and ingested the drug for decades, then began smoking it after his most recent exit from prison, six years ago.

Copeland is part of a growing

number of people experiencing homelessness who use methamphetimine to stay awake longer and protect their belongings. While opioids used to be responsible for the majority of overdose deaths, El Paso County data show meth is now to blame for the majority share of overdoses in the Colorado Springs area.

In the early years of his usage, sobriety was a nice idea, Copeland said. Though it may never have been a real possibility, it was always a goal in the distant background.

At 65, all of Copeland’s family members are dead, he has no close friends, and his days revolve around evading police and staying awake long enough to guard his belongings from other unhoused people who are seeking replacements after police take their belongings.

Copeland also has Crohn’s disease, a digestive disease that makes eating difficult and often painful. He

described the disease flare-ups as “you’re starving but you can’t eat because you’ll get sick.”

Denim shorts that stop just above his kneecaps reveal sores up and down Copeland’s legs. They are symptoms of the disease. He doesn’t wear a shirt, exposing more sores and bones on the upper half of his body covered by thin layers of skin.

On an April morning, he smokes a cigarette next to a group of other unhoused folks on a torn-up couch at the corner of Uintah and 19th Streets, just outside a shopping plaza with a grocery store, car wash and thrift store. The group discusses a path forward after police took an acquaintance’s sleeping bag, tent and clothing. Copeland’s belongings survived the raid. He’s not sure how, but he’s grateful.

UNHOUSED

Copeland said he has a few friends with indoor housing, and he occasionally exchanges drugs for a few-night’s stay. A gram of meth and an eighth of weed can buy him three nights, a few homecooked meals and a shower. While living on the streets and forcing himself to eat dry noodles, a meal and shower are luxurious for Copeland.

what he bought with his monthly $60 in food stamps, cross his fingers that the police don’t target his belongings and smoke enough meth to make life a little more bearable.

For Copeland, life without meth sounds far worse than one with it.

“Right now, reality sucks and meth is an escape from reality,” Copeland said. “I used to have pretty good control over my use, but now I don’t care anymore.”

Steven Copeland holds up his pipe to show his primary method of using meth. Copeland says he uses more meth now than ever before, calling it an effective painkiller for chronic health issues and also an escape from the challenges of homelessness.

“Meth: you can’t get away from it” Though Copeland has few people he considers “friends,” he says he knows most unhoused people in Colorado Springs, at least those within two miles of him.

“Pretty much all of them do meth,” Copeland said of others living outside. “This is probably the meth capital of the United States.

It’s everywhere. You can’t get away from it.”

UNHOUSED FROM PAGE 23

Melissa Chizmar, prevention services manager at the Southern Colorado Health Network, said of the unhoused folks she works with, more than half use methamphetamine.

“Meth, because it’s a stimulant, is going to keep people awake,” Chizmar said. “I think that’s important when you think about how cold winter nights can be and the thefts you see during that time because of exposure, which can certainly be a reason why some people might use meth, to ensure they survive the night.”

Meth and heroin are the most used substances reported among the unhoused community, Chizmar said.

Meth is the most common.

Many unhoused people, Chizmar explained, turn to meth and other substances to cope with trauma – either pre-existing trauma or trauma made worse by surviving harsh winters, encampment sweeps, and general hostility, realities that come alongside homelessness.

“We definitely see here in Colorado Springs that addiction and homelessness often overlap,” Chizmar said. “Addiction doesn’t occur in a vacuum. It’s often a result of the environment.”

Death in small doses Until about five years ago, opioids accounted for the majority of drug overdoses, according to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention.

But according to data from the El Paso County Coroner’s Office, methamphetamine accounted for 48 of the county’s 216 drug overdoses in 2022. A combination of meth and fentanyl came just behind with 42 deaths. Fentanyl alone accounted for 36 deaths.

Data provided by the El Paso County Coroner’s Office Drug-related accidental deaths also jumped by 55% between 2021 and 2022, according to the coroner’s data.

Fentanyl is a powerful opioid used in hospitals as a pain reliever. But

people in Colorado Springs cite Substance use disorder as a reason for their homelessness.

PJ Higgins, the opioid prevention project manager for the Community Health Partnership, a Colorado Springs nonprofit that works on health equity issues, said that number doesn’t represent everyone who has substance use disorder. Most who have the disorder are not homeless, and many who are experiencing homelessness use substances but don’t cite their usage as a reason for their circumstances.

“Certainly, there’s a strong interaction between people who are homeless and substance use disorder,” Higgins said. “Substance Use Disorder does become a significant barrier to exiting homelessness.”

Homeless shelters do not allow drugs inside their facilities, and many pathways to long-term housing require sobriety as a prerequisite.

Those who are ready to get sober immediately can choose rehabilitation facilities, but those are often expensive. And for many, sobriety is an ultimate goal, but the harsh realities of living outside make it feel impossible.

“When people don’t have access to care, often what happens is they turn to a substance in order to help navigate or self-medicate the condition they’re dealing with,” Higgins added. “Thinking about Substance Use Disorder not as a series of bad choices but as the result of a need to manage trauma and its impacts on mental health and state of mind and ability to navigate the ups and downs in life in a way that’s healthy is a key component of understanding.”

Melissa Chizmar is the prevention services manager at Southern Colorado Health Network, where she oversees the safe needle and supplies exchange program.

the drug – which is 50 times stronger than heroin and 100 times stronger than morphine – is found in much of the drug supply on the streets, often unbeknownst to the people buying and using illicit drugs. Because fentanyl is so potent, two milligrams is considered a lethal dose, according to the United States Drug Enforcement Administration.

Chizmar said many who died via fentanyl overdose often had no idea they were using the potent opioid to begin with. Many thought they were using meth alone without knowing their stimulant was laced with fentanyl. Chizmar described this scenario as extremely common.

“We know that so much supply is contaminated with fentanyl that it’s essentially turning people into polysubstance users, even if that isn’t something they wanted,” Chizmar said.

Though Chizmar and Higgins said fentanyl is difficult to avoid if a person is using illicit drugs, some unhoused folks said the powerful, often lethal opioid is banned from their communities.

“If anybody caught you with it over here, you could get beat up on sight,” said Skittles, a houseless man living on the west side of Colorado Springs.

“There’s a certain look with heroin and a certain look with fentanyl. I can tell the difference and fentanyl isn’t allowed.”

Skittles has lived on the streets, off and on, since he was about 12 years old. There aren’t many drugs he hasn’t tried. Though fentanyl and heroin can look similar, Skittles said he can differentiate easily from his decades of personal drug usage. He’s lost friends to fentanyl overdoses and recently revived a friend experiencing an overdose using naloxone, an overdose-reversing nasal spray.

“It was very scary because he didn’t even turn blue for a while. No warning, and by the time he turned blue, I’m sure he would have been dead and there would be no bringing him back if I didn’t know what to do,” Skittles said. “It doesn’t take much of that fentanyl sh— to kill somebody.”

The worst part, Skittles said, was the friend had no idea he was using fentanyl.

“It’s like playing Russian Roulette with five bullets,” Skittles said. “It’s unlike anything I’ve ever seen.”

After the friend was revived, Skittles told his friend that he needs to get fentanyl testing strips — available at most pharmacies and community health centers — as well as start carrying naloxone.

Along with clean supplies for drug use, Southern Colorado Health network provides a variety of health and hygiene products, as well as emergency supplies like naloxone in case of overdoses.

“I was like, look, dude, you’re gonna die if this happens again,” Skittles recalled, clenching a feast and staring straight ahead. “This s– is very, very bad.”

Skittles was an alcoholic for 20 years. He spends most days chas-

ing benzodiazepines with a bottle of Kentucky Deluxe Whiskey. The combination helped him sleep through frosty winter nights and took his mind away from flashbacks of an abusive childhood.

He had enough one day.

“I just got tired of it, honestly,” Skittles said. “Just kind of happened.”

Losing friends to fentanyl and COVID-19 is common for those outside, added Jimbo, another unhoused person and one of Skittles’ friends.

“Being out here is backward,” Jimbo said. “Right is wrong and wrong is right. All your friends are dying off and you just have to keep going.”

Now, Skittles drinks alcohol on occasion and smokes cannabis to make it through his days.

He keeps a sandwich bag of weed in a jar of peanut butter. A halfripped-off label reveals the crystalized green nuggets. He points to cannabis as a lifesaver for him and those around him.

“I’ve seen a lot of hard s— and I know what it can do, and it isn’t good,” Skittles said.

“But these days, all I want to do is hurt a cheeseburger,” he adds, cracking a half-smile and nodding his head. “Loving and hurting a cheeseburger. That’s it for me.”

Approaching solutions Higgins and Chizmar said the waron-drugs methods of criminalizing addiction are ineffective and often cause more harm than good, as they drive people to use illicit substances without knowing what is actually in their supply.

“We know that recovery, over the long-term, is something that’s oriented around building community and connection and finding some way to feel fulfilled and have direction,” Higgins said. “It’s difficult to do that in prison.”

Higgins said Colorado Springs needs more non-criminalization resources across the spectrum of usage, from sober living facilities, detoxification centers and simple harm reduction methods like naloxone and fentanyl test trip accessibility.

“I think there’s a lot more to treatment in terms of how we meet people where they are at,” Higgins said. “Mandated treatment tends to not be as successful as treatment that participated in on a voluntary basis.”

Though such programs have been criticized as “enabling” illicit drug usage, research does not support this. Chizmar also said clean needle access and places to safely dispose of needles is vital. Such access helps prevent the spread of diseases which can often be terminal.

“This has been an incredibly important intervention because it’s extremely effective and there’s over 30 years of research that demonstrates that,” Chizmar said. “It’s primarily a disease prevention model.”

Tiny homes starting to be a big-deal solution for people priced out of Colorado’s housing market

BY MONTE WHALEY THE COLORADO SUN

The popular tiny home movement is growing bigger in Colorado thanks to a new law aimed at allowing factory-built homes of about 400 square feet or less to become permanent fixtures in neighborhoods and in one case, to be used as an emerging therapy to get homeless military veterans back on their feet.

Advocates say House Bill 1242 , which went into effect July 1, will spur more purchases since it sets building standards for the scaleddown structures. The new rules also allow cities and counties to create legal pathways to let people live in tiny homes for a lifetime as opposed to just 180 days, advocates say.

“Before this law, we saw a lot of tiny homes the owners weren’t allowed to live in permanently,” said Art Laubach of Einstyne Tiny Homes in Brighton. Sometimes, depending on local laws, a tiny home would be wheeled into a mobile home or RV park and be considered a residence.

Generally tiny homes were not legally a permanent, living structure in Colorado, Laubach said.

“But now, the new law outlines building codes for counties to use on tiny homes and gives those governments a way to allow people to live in them permanently,” Laubach said.

“It’s just another option for people who otherwise can’t afford a standard home.”

“This is a huge deal for tiny-home owners and manufacturers,” he said.

A first-of-its-kind tiny home village is about to open in Longmont, where homeless military veterans can temporarily live for free while getting

counseling to overcome symptoms of PTSD. The Veterans Community Project was started in Kansas City, Missouri, by a group of combat veterans looking to get their brethren off the streets and into stable housing. The nonprofit is in the midst of a national expansion that includes the Longmont project.

Tiny homes are a perfect incubator for a community that provides counseling and kinship for emotionally battered veterans who need a

place to heal, said Jennifer Seybold, executive director of the Veterans Community Project in Longmont.

“These are people who are used to living in small spaces and this gives them privacy and a dignified space,” Seybold said. The 26 tiny homes in the veterans community vary from 240 square feet for individuals to 320 square feet for families.

Each home is built on a concrete slab foundation and attached to city utilities, and has a kitchen and a full bath.

Sandy Brooks is not surprised by the progress of tiny homes. Brooks bought her 250-square-foot tiny home on her 75th birthday in 2019 and moved to Durango to live in Escalante Village, a tiny home community. Brooks spent about $100,000 on her new home, ignoring her brothers who mocked her choice.

“They told me it’s just a fad,” Brooks said. “It’s not a fad. It’s a lot more affordable than trying to buy a $800,000 house. And a lot more people are figuring that out.”

“My footprint is very small and it takes hardly any time at all to keep it clean. And I spend about $42 on electricity,” Brooks said. “I spend my time outside where I can talk to my neighbors or do something else rather than be locked into my home all the time.”

“It’s time and money well spent for me,” she said.

Nationally, tiny home sales were expected to grow by about 4% in 2022 and accelerate in 2025, ac-

cording to The Ascent, a service of The Motley Fool investment advisor group. The growth is fueled by the high cost of owning a traditional home, The Ascent said.

The median price for a home in the United States in 2022 was $428,379, while the median monthly mortgage payment is $1,200, according to Redfin. In all, Americans spend over 50% of their income on housing, according to The Ascent.

The median price for a tiny home — about 206 square feet — is about $60,000, while total monthly housing costs can be as low as $600 and rarely exceed $1,000, according to Business Insider. This includes utilities and costs of renting a plot of land but does not include monthly loan payments to buy the tiny home.

Laubach is organizer of the annual Tiny House Festival, which finished its sixth run last month. He said the festival features RVs, homemade campers and other on-the-go vehicles for the adventurous.

TIny homes have lately grown more popular among people wanting to scale back on living costs, he said. This shift in attitude among people from all financial backgrounds comes as American homes, on average, have grown larger over the past few years despite shrinking family sizes, he said.

“People are just looking for a minimal lifestyle and something more affordable to live in,” Laubach said.

“It’s quicker to clean and to take care of.”

A huge, lush lawn, meanwhile, is not as alluring in these days of drought and fires, Laubach said.

“You realize as your home gets larger, your water use gets larger. And then you see all these fires around us. People pay attention to that.”

Colorado has an estimated 3,000 tiny homes, but until House Bill 1242 there was no rule addressing how long someone could live in one. Larimer County started fielding more requests from residents who wanted to live in their tiny homes for more than 180 days. That prompted officials to push for legislation that calls for tiny home standards, including allowing people to reside in them long term, said state Rep. Cathy Kipp, a Democrat from Fort Collins.

The result will be more viable housing options for Coloradans priced out of the traditional housing market, Kipp said.

“We have such a housing affordability crisis,” said Kipp, who cosponsored House Bill 1242 during the 2022 legislative session. “We are giving people another option to where to live.”

The bill directed the state Division SEE TINY HOMES, P29

Immigrant rights groups allege increased, arbitrary use of solitary confinement at ICE detention center in Aurora

BY TATIANA FLOWERS THE COLORADO SUN

Three immigrant rights organizations have filed a complaint with the Department of Homeland Security demanding an investigation into what they say is the increased and arbitrary use of solitary confinement at the Denver Contract Detention Facility in Aurora.

The American Immigration Council, the National Immigration Project and the Rocky Mountain Immigrant Advocacy Network filed the complaint on behalf of people who are currently in the detention center or were recently housed there.

The facility, owned and operated

by GEO Group Inc., is where the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency holds people who have pending or recently concluded immigration cases. Most of the people held there are seeking asylum or protection from torture in their home countries and are typically awaiting hearings in immigration court, said Laura Lunn, director of advocacy and litigation at Rocky Mountain Immigrant Advocacy Network.

The complaint states people with disabilities are disproportionately impacted by the overuse of solitary confinement at the facility. It alleges a pattern of placing people at risk of self-harm in isolation to inflict punishment and gain control rather than providing a safe environment and adequate medical and mental health care.

The complaint also alleges that GEO Group has failed to ensure professional conduct by its staff and that ICE and GEO Group have jeopardized the health and safety of all people detained there including

those who have survived assault and fear violence.

The complaint, which includes interviews with eight people identified by pseudonyms, calls on the Department of Homeland Security to end a contract between ICE and GEO Group, release the people detained there and permanently close the facility.

At a minimum, the complainants said, they are asking DHS to promptly investigate the use of solitary confinement and the incidents reported in the complaint, and probe whether the facility is complying with ICE policies before recommending corrective actions for staff.

“Under no circumstances is assignment in a special management unit used in a retaliatory manner or without careful adherence to the performance-based national detention standards and the ICE notifica-

tion procedures,” a GEO spokesman wrote in an email. “As a service provider to a federal agency, GEO is required to meet DHS policies and standards and plays no role in creating them.”

To ensure that violations described in the complaint don’t occur at other detention centers, the immigration groups are also asking ICE to end the use of solitary in all the facilities it contracts with and implement stricter measures of accountability for the locations that violate these obligations.

“ICE is responsible for the safety of detained individuals, which it has repeatedly demonstrated it cannot provide,” said Rebekah Wolf, senior policy counsel at the American Immigration Council.

“The egregious use of solitary confinement is detrimental to detained individuals’ mental and physical well-being,” she said. “The misuse and overuse of solitary confinement leaves people in detention fearful to report safety concerns for fear of its punitive use, and without recourse to protect themselves.”

Steve Kotecki, a spokesman for the agency’s Denver field office, said he would not comment on specific allegations detailed in the complaint.

ICE takes allegations of misconduct seriously and staff are required to abide by company policies that outline professional and ethical behavior, he said.

When a complaint is received, it is investigated, he said. ICE encourages filing complaints about detention facilities by calling 888-351-4024, he added. ICE is committed to ensuring people in its custody live in safe and humane environments under appropriate conditions of confinement, Kotecki added.

However, growing research shows solitary confinement is ineffective, dangerous and inhumane and

leads to new or worsening mental health conditions. In the worst cases, prolonged isolation also leads to selfharm and suicide.

“When Biden ran for office he pledged to end the use of solitary confinement in the criminal setting and he issued an executive order in May 2022, on this issue,” said Ann Garcia, a staff attorney at the National Immigration Project. “From our perspective, his urgency to end the use and overuse of solitary confinement in the criminal setting certainly should extend to civil immigration settings.”

The complaint in July follows a different one that was filed in April 2022, which alleged racial discrimination, excessive force and retaliation against two Black immigrants housed at the ICE detention center in Aurora.

“We haven’t seen any response about any of the group complaints that we have filed out of Aurora,” Lunn said.

Numerous complaints about medical and neglect and inadequate care for people held at GEO have been filed with DHS, according to the complaint. Since 2012, three people detained have died at the Aurora facility. The deaths were avoidable and stemmed from poor medical care provided by GEO Group, the contractor providing health services, according to the complaint.

After Evalin-Ali Mandza died in 2012, an ICE contractor review found medical staff were unfamiliar with the organization’s chest pain protocol, that appropriate cardiac medicine was not given to Mandza while he was having a heart attack and that the long length of time it took to get him to a hospital all may have contributed to his death, according to the complaint.

The ICE Office of Professional Responsibility’s review of Kamyar Samimi’s death at the detention center in 2017 found medical staff did not fully comply with several of its standards, such as maintaining an adequate number of medical staff and providing an on-call doctor with whom nurses could consult. Staff also failed to seek emergency care for Samimi after the only full-time physician followed GEO policy and ordered that Samimi be cut off from the methadone he had been legally taking for 20 years. He was held in solitary confinement in the medical unit for the last 16 days of his life, according to the complaint.

On June 4, 2018, immigration organizations filed a complaint about the Aurora facility’s failure to provide adequate medical and mental health care. And on June 11, 2019, the SEE ICE, P47

of Housing to draft rules, including a standard for permanent residency of tiny homes, that took effect July 1. The new law calls for standards to connect tiny homes to utilities, including water, sewer, natural gas and electricity.

In Larimer County, officials will treat tiny homes like other structures that had not been permitted for fulltime occupancy, but set a path for prospective owners toward getting a building permit, said Eric Fried, the county’s chief building official.

Building permits allowing permanent residency will be granted if an applicant complies with zoning, setbacks, flood plain and other land use code rules, gets certified by a Colorado professional engineer, master electrician and master plumber, and otherwise follows rules for bedroom emergency escape and rescue openings, sanitation, ventilation and wildfire hazards, Fried said.

Local governments will establish their own rules for tiny homes, he said.

“I assume some local governments will adopt similar rules, some may prohibit non-state approved tiny homes entirely, and others may be more lenient than us. It will be up to

each authority having jurisdiction,” Fried said in an email.

Some cities and towns in Colorado have already made tiny home living “legal,” including El Paso and Park counties, Durango, Leadville, Lyons and Woodland Park, Laubach said.

He said in a news release that he backed the state legislation because it will make tiny home living a “more viable option.

“The legislation will protect consumers by setting standards for tiny home building and manufacturing in Colorado,” Laubach said. “The legislation will also provide a path for counties to recognize tiny homes as permanent dwellings and open up financing opportunities.”

Longmont’s Veterans Community Project depends on donations and sweat equity from 90 community partners. Many volunteers show up in the mornings to put finishing touches on the tiny home village, which is set to accept residents by the end of the year, Seybold said.

Many of the people who will be housed in the village now are living in cars, shelters or are sleeping on couches in a friend’s house, Seybold said. “They really are living in fairly tenuous situations. There is not a lot of stability, which hurts them when they are trying to get on their feet, get permanent homes or jobs.”

Lifetime Classic Golf Tournament helps autism nonprofit Philanthropic scramble to include raffles, silent auction and more

BY JOHN RENFROW JRENFROW@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A luxurious day of food and cocktails and even raffles – all while playing 18 holes of golf. That is the plan for July 31 at the Colorado Golf Club in Parker, and it is all meant to help support those with autism.

The event is dubbed the Lifetime Classic Golf Tournament. It is a partnership between Denver’s Lifetime Windows and Siding and Firefly Autism, a nonprofit out of Lakewood that’s dedicated to celebrating the lives of individuals on the autism spectrum through learning, support and solutions.

“This is Lifetime’s event, but we at Firefly are just extremely grateful to be the beneficiaries of the event,” said Amanda Kelly, president and CEO of Firefly Autism. “This is incredibly important for us. A great majority of this is not funded by insurance or Medicaid, so we rely heavily on the generosity and support of others. We have a really intensive model, which is primarily a one-on-one model.”

Firefly Autism has existed in Colorado for 20 years, mostly heavily reliant on community support like the upcoming golf event. For a decade Kelly has been involved, and she’s served as the organization’s president and CEO for the past two years.

She said Firefly has a huge variety of programs and solutions with an extremely individualistic model of care for each case. The services include diagnostics programs, early

intervention services, schooling and work transition programs, community-based and in-home services, and more.

It’s a lot to fund and requires a great deal of collaboration and community support, she said. Events like the Lifetime Classic Golf Tournament provide a much-needed boost.

“We have a lot going on, with a roof replacement, we’re building a community garden, our building was built in the 1940s,” Kelly said.

“Anything that comes from this is going to have incredibly tangible outcomes, both almost instantly

and every single day.”

The event features more than 100 golfers playing in a four-person scramble model for 18 holes. The golfers registered as four-person teams, duos or singles based on the sponsorship model they signed up for.

Teams and individuals will compete for prizes in multiple contests including closest putt, longest drive, best team score, and more.

With luxury gifts and prizes on the line, as well as both a silent and live auction, golfers can bid on objects or simply donate, with all funds being directed to Firefly Autism.

“I really wanted to look for more impactful opportunities for Lifetime,” said CoCo Criste, director of public relations and community engagement at Lifetime. “As Firefly was moving into their new campus, we found some building solutions we could help them with … so their out-of-pocket cost was far less than it would have been.”

That began a strong partnership between both parties. After Lifetime sponsored Firefly’s annual gala this year, Criste said the company wanted to continue to help the organization.

Criste said she wanted to get a local nonprofit as the beneficiary for the first Lifetime Classic Golf Tournament, and Firefly was an easy choice.

The event begins at 10 a.m. with a shotgun start (meaning several golfers will begin at once from separate locations on the course). Interested golfers can sign up for the event at www.lifetimegolfclassic.com. Criste said they’re hoping to have 120 by the event day.

All sponsorships, golfer entry fees, and raffle proceeds will benefit Firefly Autism.

The day begins with a welcome breakfast with mimosa and bloody mary bars, includes on-course food and beverage stations including premium cocktails, beer, and handrolled cigars, and concludes with a post-round reception with dinner and cocktails. Additional donations are welcomed as well.

“The Firefly community inspires and reminds us that anything is possible with proper resources and incredible people surrounding us,” Criste said.

People with hypoxia brave high elevations to the little base camp where she Thin air risky but worth the lead lives and runs Always Choose Adventures.

Shoaee lives at 10,000 feet in a rural views, some say

BY DAN ENGLAND THE COLORADO SUN

Chantelle Shoaee will have a question for you if you decide to visit her: “What kind of car do you drive?”

Unless you’re one of her buds, perhaps one of her Hypoxic Hikers, the reason she’s asking may shock you. Rough mountain roads, the kind that flummox those who don’t drive Subarus — and yes, there are a few —

spot above Idaho Springs. She also has hypoxia, a condition defined by low levels of oxygen in the body.

Doctors tell hypoxic patients to move out of Colorado. At Denver’s elevation, around 5,280 feet, there’s 20% less oxygen than at sea level. Whenever she’s walking around, Shoaee receives oxygen through a tube in her nose, called a cannula. She punctuates her sentences with puffs from her tank that sound like a gasp.

Oxygen is as much of a treasure to her as the gold from the long-closed

mine on her land. And yet, she lives at twice the elevation of Denver, a space so devoid of O2 that most flat-landers have trouble sleeping.

It seems like a mismatch, like a penguin wobbling through a desert. And yet, Shoaee climbs 14ers at speeds that would smoke a weekend peakbagger.

She wears a backpack comfortably and even helped design a pack being developed by Osprey, a Cortez-based gear company that specializes in hydration bladder vests and packs for bikers, hikers and ultrarunners.

Shoaee’s pack fits oxygen tanks. The innovation could be a boon for hikers tethered to a cannula: Most of them are anchored to heavy oxygen tanks or

concentrators.

Shoaee loves the mountains, elevation be damned, and her strong body, balanced by a pair of powerful thighs, shakes with good-natured laughter when someone asks why the hell she lives so high.

“Look around,” she answers.

She doesn’t care that she lives in a small trailer, or that the property needs a lot of work, or that the roads that lead to it could overturn a Jeep.

She’s immensely proud of where she lives, even though she knows, one day, she will have to leave.

Until then, Shoaee wants to run her SEE ELEVATIONS, P31

organization, Always Choose Adventures, which helps people of all ages, backgrounds and, most importantly, physical abilities, experience the outdoors. She and her Hypoxic Homies, a group of hikers like her, all acknowledge their limitations the condition puts on them, but they don’t want to be limited by any kind of assumptions about their ability, or medical insurance, or misdiagnoses.

There are more than you might think: Shoaee puts severe limits on the money she makes so she can stay on Medicaid, which pays for her portable oxygen. Her place was affordable because it was in poor condition, and because she sold her townhome, buoyed by the skyrocketing market.

Quite frankly, it looks like a bargain, even if the land around it looks priceless.

“I live in poverty,” she says, “so I can breathe.”

On doctor’s orders, Shoaee’s parents kept her inside when she was a kid. She was born with tracheoesophageal fistula, an abnormal connection between the esophagus and the trachea, and low-functioning lungs.

She felt a void that wasn’t filled until she founded Always Choose Adventures and sought treatment with National Jewish Hospital, where doctors told her her birth defects were never addressed properly: Her trachea collapses up to 90% of the time. They put her on oxygen to use while adventuring and it’s made all the difference.

She’s still hypoxic, but she believes many other Coloradans are, too, and don’t realize it. We all need oxygen, and without enough of it, we get confused, restless and anxious, and have bluish skin, a rapid heart rate and difficulty breathing.

Breathing problems can cause hypoxia, but it isn’t limited to them.

Shoaee tells story after story of visitors who come from sea level and don’t feel right. Colorado’s thin air isn’t kind to those who are accustomed to drawing in gluttonous gulps of oxygen with every breath. Just the other day,

Chantelle Shoaee, director of Always Choose Adventures, right, walks with fellow hypoxic hikers Audra Lilly, center, of Littleton, and Mike Goldblatt, of Evergreen, June 29, 2023, outside Idaho Springs. The hikers are hypoxic requiring supplemental oxygen PHOTO BY HUGH CAREY, THE COLORADO SUN every day due to medical issues.

she checked the oxygen levels of a visitor by using a finger sensor.

“She was hypoxic as f---,” Shoaee said, using one of her favorite phrases.

Many others with asthma struggle here, Shoaee said, and even those seemingly in good health may wonder why they’re anxious all the time and don’t sleep well. They’re probably hypoxic, Shoaee said. Colorado is a hard place to live.

The condition is more common now after the pandemic. One of Shoaee’s best friends, one of her Hypoxic Homies, is Audra Lilly, who works as a pediatric nurse practitioner. She was diagnosed with lupus in 2015 when she was living in Dallas.

Exercise helped lube her joints: The more she did it, the better she felt. She moved to Littleton to be in a place where she could do outdoor activities all the time. She took up trail running and felt better than she had in years.

“I needed a place where I could be outdoors all the time and live a healthy lifestyle,” Lilly said. “Dallas wasn’t that.”

But her job left her susceptible to the pandemic, and sure enough, she got COVID-19 in November 2020. It ravaged her body, forcing her into the hospital for weeks. At one point, doctors asked her if life support was OK. She refused, preferring to battle it on her own, as she did with lupus. Lupus can be as mean as COVID: Her joints stiffened in her hospital bed, so she dragged her huge oxygen tank behind her and walked around her room.

She now uses oxygen to hike and run, though not as much as she used to. She met Shoaee in a hypoxia support group on Facebook.

“When I asked for advice on hiking and running, people would tell me not to do it, especially doctors,” Lilly, 41, said, “but Chantelle was like, ‘I’ll go with you!’”

Yes, Lilly sees the irony in moving to a state because of health problems and now may need to leave it one day because of health problems. But she is determined to stay as long as she can.

“Honestly, when I put my oxygen in, it goes away,” Lilly said. “I’m get-

ting back to where I was before this happened.”

Doctors at first diagnosed Lilly with anxiety. It’s a common misdiagnosis among those with hypoxia, and an understandable one, given that the two are connected: Not being able to breathe causes anxiety. Anxiety can also cause breathing problems such as hyperventilation.

That’s a problem because doctors have to write a prescription for oxygen, said Mike Goldblatt, 67, of Evergreen. Goldblatt is hypoxic and doctors don’t know why. He was an arborist and guided fly-fishing trips and hikes. He also coaches and chases around his grandkids and plays golf and music in a band. Evergreen is at 7,400 feet and Goldblatt has no desire to move. Oxygen, which he uses when he’s active, makes his life far more normal than it would be otherwise.

“It feels a lot better,” Goldblatt said.

But it irks him that oxygen is only available with a prescription. Patients SEE ELEVATIONS, P32

also generally must choose between the portable tanks they use to hike and the large tanks that anchor many patients to their homes, Goldblatt said.

“We are staying active,” Goldblatt said, referring to the hypoxic hiking group, “but 90% or more pulling oxygen aren’t. They don’t realize they can get out.”

Insurance, he said, tends to restrict patients from portable tanks or limit them to a few per month, unless they fight. Medicaid doesn’t do this, at least for Shoaee, which is why she restricts her lifestyle to stay on it.

“Safety is what they call it,” Goldblatt said, “but it comes down to money.”

These are things that won’t be solved soon. But there are issues Shoaee believes she can address now. Carrying oxygen is a problem.

A couple years ago she began talking to Osprey about designing a backpack specifically for oxygen carriers.

“The kinking is the most annoying part,” Lilly said. “Chantelle, can you fix my tube? I’ve already been kinked up twice today.”

Kinking, of course, restricts oxygen flow, and the tubes get tangled. Lilly has a story about her tubes getting tangled while on a ski lift.

She eventually had to be carried down by ski patrol because she needed the oxygen boost at the high elevation.

“I was so embarrassed,” she said.

Tanks are heavy, with the mobile tanks weighing up to 15 pounds. The tanks alone make a daypack weigh more than if it were stuffed with overnight gear.

The Osprey backpack, Shoaee said, solves both issues. There are holes in the pack where hypoxic hikers can thread, and therefore secure, their tubes, and the bottom of the pack

has more padding as well as straps to hold the tank in place and distribute the weight evenly. The final version should be out by the end of the year. The pack is an affirmation that people are paying attention.

“It will be life-changing for people on oxygen,” Shoaee said. “We aren’t saying you have to hike a 14er. You can walk around the block now. This makes it possible. There’s so much annoying stuff about this illness. A backpack shouldn’t be one of them.”

Shoaee founded Always Choose Adventures because of her experiences, but the organization tries to break down barriers for all kinds of marginalized groups in the outdoors, not just the hypoxic. Gerry Roach, the mountain master and author of many guide books, including iconic versions for the 14ers, the Centennials, Rocky Mountain National Park and the Indian Peaks, is the board president.

But she hopes to use her talents to raise awareness about hypoxia and maybe one day solve some of the other issues oxygen carriers must face when they venture outdoors.

“Could we do a hypoxic 14ers day?” she asks her group.

First, though, she wants to go on a little hike to a lake near her property.

The path is steep — at one point she protests to her friends when they leave some distance between them and her — but eventually they do reach the top. She puts her hands on her knees.

It’s hard to live so high up, but the views are spectacular, and the air is fresh.

She straightens up and breathes it in.

ICE FROM PAGE 28

organizations filed a supplement to the former complaint highlighting the experiences of five additional people.

Melvin Calero Mendoza died at the Aurora facility on Oct. 13, 2022, from a pulmonary embolism that likely stemmed from a toe injury he sustained while playing soccer, which was left untreated for months.

Recent interviews with people who have been detained there confirm that the agency continues to fall short of meeting ICE detention standards, the complaint states.

“It is important to highlight that this is happening in the state of Colorado, a place that works diligently to provide a welcoming and hospitable refuge to immigrants, migrants, and refugees,” Lunn said.

“This complaint underscores that our local and state governments cannot prevent this type of harmful treatment as long as ICE operates in our communities.”

The complaint alleges ICE is violating its 2011 Performance-Based National Detention Standards, which provides guidance on how to create a safe environment, including for survivors of assault or violence.

The policy states people in ICE custody should be placed in disciplinary segregation only after a disciplinary hearing panel finds the person is guilty of a severe or moderate rule violation; that people should only be placed in solitary if other alternatives don’t regulate their behavior; and that people with

serious mental illness must not be placed in isolation because of their illness. However, staff are overusing solitary confinement, according to the complaint.

For example, a staff member threatened to send “Daniel,” a man whose story is included in the complaint, to solitary confinement if he did not agree to move to the top bunk in his dorm. “I usually sleep in the lower bunk bed because I don’t have the strength to climb to the top,” he told the interviewer.

After he moved to the top bunk, he could not get down without help.

He stayed there on the top bunk for a day, missing most of the meals offered that Sunday, until dorm mates helped him come down.

On his first day at the facility, “Felix” was in solitary confinement for eating too slowly. A staff member took his food tray away, and when he protested, told him he was being “noncompliant” and put him in solitary confinement for three days.

He was placed in solitary confinement about 10 more times during his detention there before ICE transferred him to another facility where he’s receiving better care for his deteriorating mental health, according to the complaint.

“If I spoke too loudly, solitary. If I climbed on top of a table to get a guard’s attention, solitary. If I had suicidal thoughts, solitary. When the guards would tease me about being deported back to my home country and make airplane sounds at me and gesture like a plane was taking me away, I would become upset and then get solitary for being upset,” he says in the complaint.

“Felix” attempted suicide, the

second time of three times, while he was detained at the facility by jumping from a second-story landing.

“Even when I was in the hospital from my suicide attempt, ICE would not tell my attorneys where I was being kept or allow them to speak to me,” he said.

He was returned to GEO in Aurora after several days in the hospital, where he was treated for fractured vertebrae in his neck and muscle injuries, and placed back in solitary for 15 days.

“I laid on my back with no pillow to support my neck, in agony, with only some ibuprofen to try and numb the pain,” he said. “They told me solitary kept me safe and helped me, but it was only ever a punishment.”

The 2011 standards state staff will effectively respond to or mitigate any safety, medical or mental health concerns of detained people; that facility leaders will move a person to a different housing unit if they are concerned about their safety; and that detention center staff must give special consideration to people who are vulnerable when placing them in solitary confinement including victims of any crime or people with mental or physical disabilities.

But staff routinely discount safety concerns of people in ICE custody until an incident occurs, and then they separate individuals who are demonstrating disruptive behavior for a short period and fail to address the safety or mental health needs of those involved, according to the complaint.

For example, after “Bianca” asked guards to transfer her to another room because she was receiving

threats from another woman at the facility, staff told her the women should fight each other, according to the complaint.

“Bianca” later learned from a GEO staff member that the woman, who likely needed access to mental health treatment, had threatened to harm herself and staff members.

Instead of providing mental health treatment to the woman making the threats, staff became concerned for themselves and said they were not interested in risking their lives, according to the complaint.

After her attorney reached out to the facility, “Bianca” was moved to a different dorm.

A man, “Mateo,” said he spent 15 days in solitary confinement after he defended himself when he was attacked in his dorm by another detained person.

Staff removed him from the dorm for a short time to conduct a proceeding where he was found guilty of engaging in the fight. He asked GEO staff to check video cameras to confirm that he did not cause the fight. But in the complaint, he said he doesn’t know if they ever did.

“ICE and GEO didn’t do anything to protect me,” he said in the complaint. “There were cameras recording the incident but no one … ever talked with me about what happened.”
