Lakewood’s GiGi’s Playhouse celebrating second year of helping Down Syndrome families

BY JO DAVIS JDAVIS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

GiGi’s Playhouse Denver is celebrating its second year in Lakewood. It helps people with Down Syndrome and their families.

The anniversary, which is this month, coincides with National Down Syndrome Awareness Month.

Leslie Klane, executive director of the playhouse, said GiGi’s was created by Nancy Gianni, whose

daughter was diagnosed with Down Syndrome at birth. Nancy immediately discovered it was hard to find services or spaces to help her daughter, GiGi, and family.

“Nancy founded GiGi’s Playhouse on her own desire to make certain that families who have children with Down Syndrome have a place to go to,” Klane said. “The mission of GiGi’s is really about global awareness of acceptance for all.”

The Way the Real Estate Marketplace Works Is Being Challenged. Here Are My Thoughts There’s a class action lawsuit being litigated this fall that challenges as unfair the “cooperation and compensation” model of America’s “multiple listing services” or MLSs. When I sign a listing agreement with a seller, I agree to market and sell their home for a set percentage of the ultimate purchase price. I also agree to enlist the help of 20,000-plus other real estate agents by putting their home on the MLS and offering to share my commission with any and every MLS member. It would be a disservice to my seller if I didn’t maximize the exposure of his/her home to the largest possible number of buyers, and that is only possible through the MLS, from which their listing would be uploaded to Zillow, Realtor.com, and to the websites of every established brokerage that belongs to our MLS. That’s how my listing of their home gets displayed on remax.com, redfin. com, coldwellbanker.com and, yes, goldenrealestate.com.

I know of no other industry in which salespersons agree to let the salespersons with whom they compete sell their product. The example I like to cite is automobile dealers, who hire salespersons on commission. Imagine you went to a Ford dealer and asked to see their pickup trucks. You want a red one, and the salesperson finds on his computer that there’s a red one at a nearby Chevy dealer. Off you go with the Ford salesperson to test drive the Chevy pickup, which you decide to purchase. The Ford salespersons writes the purchase contract, and the Chevy dealership agrees to

give the Ford salesperson half the commission that would otherwise have gone to their salesperson. It’s a win/win/win — both dealerships sell more cars, and it’s a better experience for the customer.

The three persons who brought the class action lawsuit against the National Association of Realtors, which sets the rules for MLSs that are owned by local Realtor associations, are former home sellers who say they shouldn’t have had to pay the buyer’s agents, but the fact is that they didn’t. Their agent said he’s sell the home for, say, 6%, and that’s what it cost the seller. On the settlement statement at closing, it showed that, say, 3% was paid to the listing agent and 3% was paid to the buyer’s agent. If the listing agent had sold the listing himself, it would have showed 6% to the listing agent (although some agents, including myself, reduce the commission when we don’t have to share it).

Some MLSs, including REcolorado, the Denver MLS, have made policy changes that respond to some of the criticisms. For example, NAR’s “compensation rule” states that each listing is required to offer a co-op percentage or dollar amount to fellow members of the MLS. To set the co-op at $1 was perfectly okay, but now our MLS is allowing us to enter $0. Big change? Not really. At Golden Real Estate, we have an office policy to offer not less than 2.5%, although I, as broker, can approve a lower percentage. The reason for the policy is simple: we want our listings to sell, and if we offer $1 or 1%, our listings would be less likely to sell.

Lakewood Publishes a Guide for Hard-to-Recycle Items I recently discovered an amazingly comprehensive list of where you can take hard-to-recycle items — Lakewood’s website, www.lakewood.org. I will publish the long and complex link to that 6-page PDF on my Substack.com version of this article.

Here are some of the surprising items that you can recycle: Air conditioners, ammunition, art & art supplies, asphalt, baby gear, bike tires and tubes, bubble wrap, carpet and pads, clothing, concrete, contact lenses, flooring, windows, hearing aids, insulation, lumber, mattresses and box springs, motor oil, packing peanuts, shredded paper, pianos, plastic plant pots, vinyl records, solar panels, toilets, toothpaste tubes and floss containers, VHS cassettes, and corrugated plastic yard signs. Wow! The website suggests that if you have items to give away that are in good con-

dition, visit www.freecycle.org.

Since it’s a Lakewood website, it doesn’t mention a few places I recommend. For example, the Golden Optimists have an excellent “bicycle recycle program.” You can drop off your unwanted bicycles (and accessories) on Tuesdays and Thursdays, 1-5 pm, at their shop, 1200 Johnson Road, Golden.

Or visit www.GoldenOptimist.org. Repaired bicycles are then provided to anyone who needs one through various charities and schools. In 2019, they delivered 34 bicycles to the Navajo Nation in Arizona and stayed a couple days to repair bicycles for local people.

For recycling unwanted eye glasses, most optometrist businesses have collection boxes from the local Lions Club.

They repair glasses for donation to the needy, including in third-world countries.

There’s one company, Trelora, whose original business model was to offer a flat $3,000 commission regardless of price, although some sellers would ask to offer 2.8% because they thought their home would sell faster. I was on the receiving end of a 3% commission on Trelora listing, because that seller really wanted to sell their home quickly. On another Trelora listing, the listing agent actually invited one of my broker associates to put in the purchase contract an additional provision stating that the seller would pay 2.8% co-op commission.

And it worked. Since then, Trelora has dropped its low-co-op commission policy.

Much is being made at the trial (which is going on now) about how some brokerages train their agents to handle commission objections. When I was at Coldwell Banker in 2002-2003, I got some of that training. We were told ways to counter sellers’ requests to lower our commission. I’m sure commission-based salespersons in any business are told how to do that. I’m a softer touch myself and, more importantly, we at Golden Real Estate have “value adds” that we can use to justify our commissions, which are typically lower than our competitors’.

For example, as I wrote above, I reduce my commission if I find a buyer and don’t have to share my commission.

That happens more at Golden Real Estate than it does at other brokerages because we provide greater exposure of our listings (such as in this ad) to buyers who may not have been looking to buy a home until they saw one we featured

and therefore don’t yet have a buyer’s agent.

We also have a free moving truck, and when I earn two commissions from a client by selling their home and earning a commission on their replacement home, I provide totally free local moving, including labor, moving boxes and packing materials.

Our narrated video tours with drone footage are hosted on YouTube and linked to the MLS listing plus the website we create for each listing, further increasing exposure. The more exposure, the more showings, and hopefully more offers. As a result, the ratio of sold price to listing price is consistently higher for our listings than for the listings of other brokerages.

I also have a policy of charging a lower commission for million-dollar listings. I think that’s only fair. Every buyer should know that commissions are negotiable — and that it’s a violation of law and the Realtor Code of Ethics to say otherwise to a potential client.

The bottom line, then, is that, as I see it, the “cooperation and compensation” model of all MLSs is fair when looked at in the right light. It’s what allows for a robust and effective real estate market.

EVs Are Now Less Expensive Than Gas-Powered Vehicles

It has long been true that in the long run electric vehicles are less expensive if you factor in fueling costs, oil changes and long-term maintenance/repairs.

But now, thanks to federal and state rebates, the new (and used) cost of EVs is lower. Take for example, this breakdown on the purchase of a brand-new Chevy Bolt (if you can find one): Sticker Price $26,500 Federal Incentive -$7,500 Colorado Incentive -$5,000 Additional Colorado Incentive for cars under $35k sticker price -$2,500 Vehicle Exchange Program* -$6,000 Purchase price - $5,500 *Explanation and special requirements for this and other incentives is spelled out in my Substack posting of this article.

The promotion is valid at both Jefferson County Cochino Taco locations. One at 5495 W. 20th Ave in Edgewater and the other at 7702 Ralston Rd in Arvada.

Robust laws against human trafficking hardly used

BY JENNIFER BROWN THE COLORADO SUN

Colorado prosecutors landed a single conviction for labor trafficking and fewer than 50 convictions for sex trafficking in 17 years despite multiple efforts to strengthen state laws.

From 2006-2022, there have been 267 criminal cases involving trafficking, and within those cases there were 619 counts of labor trafficking and 10,813 counts of sex trafficking, according to a new report from the Laboratory to Combat Human Trafficking. But very few resulted in convictions.

Many of the people initially charged with trafficking ended up being convicted of other crimes, including child abuse, drug charges or “keeping a place of prostitution,”

found the new report from the Colorado nonprofit.

All of the trafficking charges were filed in just 23 of Colorado’s 64 counties, which points toward the need for more widespread training among law enforcement and district attorneys’ offices to identify and prosecute trafficking, the report said. Its authors called on Colorado to strengthen local task forces that work to prevent trafficking and hold traffickers accountable in court.

They also said Colorado needs to do more to include trafficking survivors, and those most vulnerable to trafficking, including LGBTQ people, Indigenous people and immigrants.

The task forces need to include people who “reflect and look like the community” because people who need help with food, shelter and language translation will seek out

others they feel comfortable around, said AJ Alejano-Steele, co-founder and research director of the Laboratory to Combat Human Trafficking.

“If you have a high population of immigrants from Mexico, does the partnership actually have people who represent that group?” she asked. “It’s hard to go to people for help if they don’t look like you.”

In agricultural areas, the groups should include people who work on farms, and in mountain communities, they should include people who have worked as sheepherders, for example, she said.

Sheepherders migrate to Colorado from Chile, Peru and Mexico to work on ranches, and in some cases, find out after they arrive that they are required to work 24 hours per day, seven days a week, the report said.

“They live in small campers without

electricity, toilets or running water,” it said. “Most herders reported having no days off for over a year. These workers have been consistently exploited to the financial benefit of their employers — the very definition of labor trafficking.”

Larger jurisdictions are more likely to have officers trained to identify human trafficking and how to interview potential victims.

The results show that many counties aren’t using state trafficking laws as often as they could be, the report said. Rural counties rarely, if ever, use the statutes. Five counties had 67% of the human trafficking charges filed in the state. In order of case counts, those were Adams, Arapahoe, El Paso, Denver and Jefferson counties.

Wheat Ridge candidates running to represent you There are four uncontested races on Wheat Ridge ballots. They include city council District 2 (Rachel Hultin), council District 3 (Korey Stites), city clerk (James “Steve” Kirkpatrick), city treasurer (Chris Miller).

Running uncontested means that there is no competition for the seat.

However, it does not mean voters should pass up a chance to learn about these candidates. Each is running to retain a seat they’ve held for a term.

Thus, we’ve already heard them speak on difficult election topics.

Here are a few more things to know about Wheat Ridge’s candidates run-

ning uncontested.

Chris Miller has spent more than 18 years in government finance positions.

“I’m kind of a government geek,” Miller said at a candidate forum. “I’ve worked for the city [of Wheat Ridge] and County of Denver for the last close to 18 years as well in various finance and accounting roles.”

Miller has master’s degrees in finance and accounting from the University of Colorado. He worked for the Denver Department of Public Works Capital Project Management. Miller was also the controller for the Denver

Arts and Venues agency, the organization in charge of Denver City and Denver County art facilities.

Miller said the experience helped when joined the city of Wheat Ridge.

“I’ve made various improvements in the city’s investment portfolio,” Miller explained at the candidate forum. “I’d like to have the opportunity to continue that good work and do good things for the city of Wheat Ridge.”

James “Steve” Kirkpatrick is the most educated of the uncontested candidates.

The uncontested candidate for city clerk, Kirkpatrick, matches the master’s degrees that Miller holds and also has a Ph.D. in psychology from the University of Arizona. Kirkpatrick worked in education and was a dean at the University of the Rockies Graduate School Organizational Leadership. He was also vice president of publishing at the university.

“My education prepares me” to be City Clerk, Kirkpatrick said. “I have learned how to learn. And there will be a lot of learning to do.”

Kirkpatrick also owns a consulting business..

Korey Stites is originally from Wheat Ridge Among uncontested candidates, Stites is the only one who was born and raised in Wheat Ridge. His grandfather Hank Stites was Mayor of Wheat Ridge in the ‘70s and ‘80s. Hank’s son Mike would later win a seat on the Wheat Ridge city council.

Hultin came to Wheat Ridge in 2012, Miller arrived in 2006 and Kirkpatrick in 1991.

Hultin and Stites have each served as mayor pro tem According to the Wheat Ridge City Ordinance Section 3.3, the mayor pro tempore is elected to serve the city in the event that the mayor cannot.

“He shall serve in place of the mayor during the absence or disability of the mayor with all powers and duties of the mayor, except he shall not have the power to veto ordinances,” the ordinance stated. “In case of a vacancy in the office of mayor, the mayor pro tempore shall serve as mayor only until the vacancy is filled, as provided in section 3.11.”

Hultin held the position in 2022, and Stites is currently the mayor pro team.

Three uncontested candidates are founders Hultin founded Wheaties, a local organization that promoted community-inspired projects before COVID-19.

She also co-founded the Wheat Ridge Active Transportation Advisory, an advocacy group working with the community, city, local businesses and others to make city streets safe and fun for bike riders.

Stites founded and operates Personal Achievement Martial Arts, a martial arts school in Wheat Ridge.

Kirkpatrick founded Kirkpatrick and Associates LLC, a consulting firm.

Ward 4

In Ward 4, Dave Rein is running unopposed. Current Ward 4 councilmember Barb Franks has term-limited out of her position, leaving the seat open.

BY LILLIAN FUGLEI SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA

Roger Low is the only candidate running in Ward 3. While Low was originally opposed by Anita Springsteen — who currently serves on the council for Ward 3 — Springstreen has withdrawn from the race.

Low decided to run for council because he wanted the chance to create change at a local level. He believes his current work at Colorado Equitable Economic Mobility Initiative — an organization that connects public funding with workforce readiness programs — as well as his past experience in Colorado’s budget office have prepared him for office.

In office, Low says his biggest priority will be affordable housing.

“I’ve heard so much from a lot of our neighbors in Lakewood and Ward 3 about the need for more affordable, attainable housing,” Low said.

“I’m very concerned about the fact that rent has gone up by a lot in Lakewood and we’re at risk of pricing out teachers and first responders and families.”

In addition to affordable housing, Low wants to focus on solving the growing unhoused crisis, preserving parks and making Lakewood a safe place for everyone to live.

“As polarized and as toxic as politics and government can be these days,” Low added. “There’s still no better tool for tackling some of the thorny collective challenges that we face than government.”

David Rein (left), Roger Low (center) and Jacob LaBure (right) are all running unopposed COURTESY PHOTOS for Lakewood City Council.

Although Rein did not initially plan on running, he decided to run because he saw the opportunity to create a more civil and productive city council.

Rein believes his experience with service — including sitting on the Lakewood Advisory Commission, the 40 West Arts District and the Jefferson County Cultural Commission — has prepared him for city council.

On council, Rein wants to work towards solving housing issues in Lakewood by creating more affordable housing options.

“We’re really good about building apartments and really good about building million-dollar homes,” said Rein. “But we’re not building options in between. I want to make sure that the city has conversations with all the stakeholders to figure out what are some creative ways that we can build this middle stuff that seems to be missing.”

In addition to improving housing affordability, Rein also wants to improve public safety in Lakewood. He emphasized the need to hire mental health coresponders in order to allow police to focus on crime prevention. “(Police) are better at dealing with mental health issues than the average person,” said Rein. “But that doesn’t make them experts. Giving them people who are experts can help alleviate some of the burden that we’ve put on the police and frees them up to do what they need to.”

Ward 5

For Ward 5, the sole candidate is Jacob LaBure. Current Ward 5 councilmember Mary Janssen is not seeking reelection.

LaBure decided to run for council in Ward 5 because he believed he was the most qualified to fill the seat. Having previously served on Lakewood City Council from 2017-2021 in Ward 2, LaBure thinks his time in Ward 2 has prepared him to serve Ward 5 well.

“Council has gotten bogged down for years on different kinds of small battles and small politics,” LaBure said. “I really just want to help guide the council and help get them on track on this larger strategic vision of the city.”

In office, LaBure wants to improve infrastructure, housing and public safety.

He emphasized the need for improving infrastructure in particular, focusing on improving sidewalks, bike lanes and shared-use paths.

“Infrastructure is my big thing, I really want to make the city have a high quality of life for all the residents,” LaBure said. “I think part of that is good infrastructure.”

For LaBure, making plans to improve infrastructure isn’t enough. He also wants to ensure that improvements receive funding. “(We need) to make sure that we’re actually funding these goals,” LaBure said.

“Because at the end of the day, there’s only so many resources that the city has, and you’re going to move so many resources internally around to achieve small victories.”

Ward 2 Pete Del Duca Isabel Cruz

I am a longtime Lakewood community activist, Planning Commissioner, neighborhood leader and water and sanitation district board member.

I have been defending of neighborhood character, safety and diversity for nearly two decades.

In 2017, after City Hall ignored widespread community concerns about the Zoning Ordinance, I united a politically and economically diverse group of residents to compile and promote the Lakewood Stra-

tegic Growth Initiative, which was approved in a city-wide election.

That win for the community came despite a pro-development war chest totaling more than a half-million dollars raised by special interests opposed to reasonable, rational development. It truly was a ‘David vs. Goliath’ win for Lakewood.

As Lakewood continues to grow, we need expertise, experience and knowledge to address our community concerns through legislation that prioritizes people and the unique needs of each of our city’s five wards.

I have been able to use my negotiating skills and knowledge of city regulations, requirements and processes

Wendi Strom What in your background makes you qualified for office?

I am now serving as a Lakewood City Councilor in Ward 5 and was recently appointed Mayor Pro-Tem. With over 30 years of leadership experience, I was elected for my proven track record as a consensus builder with a focus on bringing people together to work strategically in addressing the complex challenges of our community. My education and professional training in the areas of working with people, data analysis, and long range planning have prepared me to solve

big problems using evidence-based policy solutions.

In my “day job,” I’ve been working as a financial planner, and a fiduciary, helping families be stewards of their money for the last 15 years. The experiences and knowledge that I’ve gained through this work are also foundational to the skills needed to be successful as Lakewood’s next Mayor: consensus building, having an eye for managing resources, having candid and sometimes difficult conversations, in addition to having a lens for planning in both the short- and long-term.

In my time on City Council, I’ve supported policies around crime reduction through new and innovative practices, addressing homelessness and the attainability of housing, as well as climate-friendly initiatives like growing our green spaces, increasing our tree canopy, and protecting our water. And as Lakewood’s next Mayor, I am ready with ideas and relationships to roll up my sleeves on Day One and get to work on solutions to meet the needs of our Lakewood residents in these areas that concern or impact them.

to help neighborhoods in all wards.

Community voice, transparency and accountability are not just buzzwords for me. They are a way of life.

As mayor I look forward to listening to all city councilors and bringing us together to create legislation focused on our shared priorities of safety, environment and overall quality of life. I will be a mayor for all of Lakewood.

Lakewood City Council Election Questionnaire: Glenda Sinks, Ward 1 What in your background makes you qualified for office?

As a career educator and administrator, I worked effectively with students, parents, staff, and teachers. This collegial, resultsdriven attitude will characterize my work on city council. Colleagues and acquaintances recognize my leadership skills & know that I think through an issue in a logical way. In addition to a career in education, I served on the Lakewood Planning Commission which gave me firsthand experience with the struc-

ture of our municipal charter; I know that city council’s main job is to set the policies for the city manager and staff to implement.

I will work within the parameters of the charter as a city councilor.

I’ve been preparing specifically for this position on city council since February. I’ve been busy doing the following: —Meeting with past and present community leaders.

—Networking with community resource groups (Recovery Works, the Lakewood Police Department, and Metro West Hous-

ing Authority, to name a few).

—Attending neighborhood meetings and events (Applewood neighborhood group, Mid-Lakewood Civic Association, West Colfax Community Association, & more).

—Most importantly, I’ve been meeting with citizens as I’ve personally knocked on hundreds of doors asking citizens about issues that concern them.

I know I still have much to learn, but I feel confident that I have the qualifications which will make me an effective city councilor.

Pete Del Duca, Ward 2 What in your background makes you qualified for office?

I am a Colorado native, graduate of the Colorado School of Mines, and lived in Lakewood for 18 years. I am a Mechanical Engineer and a licensed Professional Engineer. I have worked in federal government service in safety and health for 18 years, authoring policy documents, interpreting law,

regulations, and leading a team covering six states. I have worked for the last four Presidential administrations, which has taught the importance of consistency over politics, and fostering relationships regardless of political affiliations to get work done with integrity over anything else. I am a married father of three wonderful children.

I know the issues that face the community, and I care about representing the citizens. Although I am not a politician, I am skilled at maneuvering through government bureaucracy to get things done. I hope to use this skillset to represent the citizens of Lakewood and make Lakewood a safer, less expensive place to live for generations to come.

Isabel Cruz, Ward 2 What in your background makes you qualified for office?

With over 10 years of experience in nonprofits and advocacy, I have dedicated my career to bringing people together across diverse communities to advance social change. From my grassroots activism as a student to my current professional role as the policy director for a statewide health advocacy nonprofit, I have

successfully taken on challenging issues, from rising health care costs to reproductive justice to workers’ rights and more, working collaboratively and daring to dream big about what we can accomplish together. I bring extensive experience both in shaping, writing, and advocating for systemic policy change and in community engagement to ensure that diverse voices are included in the process.

From serving as board president of the Edgewater Collective to supporting my neighborhood Safe Parking Lot, I am connected deeply across our community and attuned to the hopes and concerns of many neighbors. My community involvement, policy knowledge, leadership experience, and deep empathy prepare me to be an effective councilor for Ward 2.

I have the breadth and depth of experience, in both a personal and professional capacity, that uniquely qualifies me to serve on the Jeffco School Board. I am a mom of three in the district, ranging from preschool to high school. My oldest is my stepson, and I have the good fortune of becoming close friends with his mom who is a Kindergarten teacher at a Jeffco Title I school.

Through her I have learned much about what teachers experience in the classroom today. I have been volunteering in our Jeffco schools for over a decade with a combined 6 years as PTA president at both Title I and non-Title I elementary schools.

My career in engineering and public policy, as well as my current role as co-chair of a policy governance board, has given me the experienced leadership to bring stakeholders to

In addition to closing schools to accommodate declining enrollments in Jefferson County, what other measures do you propose to improve students’ learning experiences while saving money?

We have to get creative. Let’s replicate what is working well across the district and standardize where we can to minimize cost and maximize opportunities to learn from each other. We should consider community partnerships, grant opportunities through community foundations that can support STEM Labs, technology, additional programming, support for our educators, and enrichment activities. We must en-

District 4 Amara Hildebrand – did not respond by deadline Thomas Wicke Erin Kenworthy Joel Newton

Thomas Wicke, District 3 What in your background makes you qualified for office?

I have strong roots in the Jeffco school community. My family moved to Jefferson County eight years ago and lives and breathes education. My wife Laurel has been a proud and award-winning Jeffco Public Schools educator for many years. Two of my children are Jeffco graduates, and my third child is a current Jeffco student.

As an educator, husband of an educator and father to 3 inquisitive kids, I have been actively involved in our schools – volunteering and leveraging my experience and expertise to support education and advocate for the academic welfare of all students. I am proud to serve as a campus president of Concorde Career College. As president, I’ve consistently achieved high job placement rates over 90% annually for the college’s healthcare program in a highly impacted

community. I bring deep practical experience with demonstrated results in turning several failing institutions around. In doing so, I’ve built experienced, highly competent and collaborative teams, which are essential to foster a healthy, thriving culture. I will champion our children, families, teachers and staff. I want to give our children the hope, the skills and the confidence to achieve their dreams, and give our educators the tools they need to make those dreams reality!

In addition to closing schools to accommodate declining enrollments in Jefferson County, what other measures do you propose to improve students’ learning experiences while saving money?

To be successful in improving our student’s learning experiences, we should increase classroom and administrative assistance for

teachers. I’ve heard from many educators who are frustrated by the lack of support they receive for discipline and duties outside of their core instructional responsibilities.

We need to actively involve families and empower them to participate in their children’s education.

We should be creating consistency across curricula, instructional materials, and teacher professional development. Lastly, we need to implement intensive tutoring and other interventions for students at the first sign of struggles and provide support for mental health issues adversely affecting learning.

We need to provide our students with the education and skills to achieve their own goals, and utilize funds entrusted to us by taxpayers judiciously. Our budget should be scrutinized to meet those requirements. Jeffco has a general fund budget deficit of $7.1 million in 2024, $20 million

in 2025 and $38.8 million in 2026.

This is unsustainable and damages public trust. We need to accelerate improvements in the district’s financial management processes and systems to make transparent linkages between activities, costs, and outcomes for our children.

We must prioritize funding for efforts with the greatest impact on student outcomes and eliminate expenses where programs have demonstrated unsuccessful in improving results.

Erin Kenworthy, District 4 What in your background makes you qualified for office?

I have a degree in Secondary Social Studies Education from the University of Maryland. with over 18 years of experience in public schools and community focused non-profits. Currently I’m in my fourth year on school and district accountability committees in Jefferson County and have served for 7 years as an ex officio board member as part of my current professional work responsibilities. I am a parent to two Jefferson county students, with 6 years in the Jefferson County School community and 11 years remaining until my youngest graduates from high school. I have invested significant time and energy into supporting our Jeffco Public Schools schools and students and am ready to continue my service as a member of the Jeffco school board.

In addition to closing schools to accommodate declining enrollments in Jefferson County, what other measures do you propose to improve students’ learning experiences while saving money?

To increase the efficiency of the taxpayer dollars that are allocated from the state to fund our schools, I would advocate for the responsible and efficient use of technology, support sites and applications to gather and disseminate information. I believe that we can increase utilization of community partnerships for immersive learning experiences. We can focus on reducing costs associated with teacher turnover by attracting and retaining the highly qualified teachers we need and have in our district already. I’d advocate in favor of funding special education resources to avoid legal costs associated with not meeting legal requirements in individualized education plans.

Joel Newton, District 4 What in your background makes you qualified for office?

I am a father to a Jeffco Public Schools graduate and a current senior at Wheat Ridge High School.

Our oldest daughter graduated from Jefferson Junior/Senior High School in the spring and started college this fall. We have lived in Jefferson County for eighteen years. My wife Hillary started her education career as a paraprofessional at Lumberg Elementary and now is a preschool director in Littleton.

I have served on the Lumberg Elementary PTA, Jefferson Jr/Sr High School Accountability Committee (SAC), Jeffco Public Schools District Accountability Committee (DAC), and Gifted Education State Advisory Committee. I currently sit on the Colorado Department of Education School Transportation Task Force.

I serve as the Executive Director of Edgewater Collective for the last ten years. Edgewater Collective is

a local nonprofit that is focused on supporting Title I schools in the Edgewater area and co-creating economic opportunities for Latino families in east central Jefferson County.

In addition to closing schools to accommodate declining enrollments in Jefferson County, what other measures do you propose to improve students’ learning experiences while saving money?

School funding is complex, yet we need to take a hard look at how the funds currently spent are actually improving the learning experiences of students. With declining enrollment, we need to ensure that funds are improving the student and educator experience. As a school board, it is our role to ask tough questions of district leadership on school funding and budgeting, so students and educators have what they need to succeed.

VOICES

Why school board elections matter and why you should vote

BY ERICA MELTZER CHALKBEAT COLORADO

Every other November, Colorado voters choose the people who make important decisions about their local schools. But in most school districts, very few people vote in these school board elections —and most of them aren’t parents of current students.

What exactly is a school board?

And why should you care about voting in these odd-year elections?

Voting for school board members who share your values or perspective makes it more likely schools will run in a way that you think is good for kids and your community. If you don’t vote, you give that power to other people. In many school district elections, less than a third of eligible voters vote. Sometimes just a few hundred or even a few dozen votes separate the winners and losers. That means every vote matters.

In Colorado, school districts are

run by elected officials who serve on the school board. School boards usually have five to seven members. The main function of a school board is hiring the superintendent, who is like the chief executive of the school district and responsible for day-to-day running of local schools.

School board members supervise and evaluate the superintendent.

School board members also vote on the budget and pay raises for teachers and other staff, and they set poli-

cies that control what happens in schools.

A school board might cast the final vote on whether to close a school with low test scores or too few students —or vote to change budget priorities so those schools have more money. Or a school board might vote to adopt a new curriculum if the old one isn’t working well to educate students.

ably less than the 1976 to 1998 global warming of 0.710C or 0.0320C/yr., that ushered in the climate change due to CO2fixation., (4) These actual data from 1945-2022 clearly show that natural climate variables, not CO2emissions, are responsible for producing the global temperature changes in the “Current Warm Period” interglacial., and (5) Unlike the rest of the world the US CO2emissions have declined since 1990. Yet US government and climate activists’ actions, policies, and urgings (e.g., -a ban on gas stoves) are being proposed and imposed on the US citizenry to halt “climate change” and “save the planet.” These actions are being carried out: (a) despite the fact that continued worldwide increase in CO2emissions render US CO2emission reduction inconsequential and (b) the reality is that CO2emissions have not and are not significantly affecting the planet’s warming. And, it is evident that the push in the US for CO2emission reduction programs, restrictions and policies are being invoked and exploited for political gain and ideological virtue signaling, as the data show they will have no substantive effect on global warming. America, we’re being deluded, gaslighted and exploited.

Larry Von Thun, Lakewood

Quality Control Division (AQCC) on October 18th. Colorado has the opportunity to promote healthier air in a state where we have a zip code that is considered one of the worst in the country. While the administration is taking an important step, I want to encourage the passing of the full rule of 100% zeroemissions vehicles by 2035. While this is not a ban on gas vehicles and does not apply to used vehicles, the ruling will have positive benefits for people across the state.

First off, it will better help protect public health and advance environmental justice by improving our air quality. Our low-income and BIPOC communities who are placed near highways are at a greater disadvantage. And the longer we wait to adopt rules such as this the more our neighbors have to suffer. Also by adopting the rule, we are in a better stance of fighting climate change.

The rulemaking will also save Coloradans money. Adopting EVs will save drivers money on fueling and maintenance costs and also will lead to significant electricity rate reductions, saving everyone money on their monthly electric bills.

The adoption of the rule will also encourage manufacturers to bring more affordable new EVs to the state sooner along with jumpstarting the market.

Colorado is a leader when it comes to clean vehicle policies, and we must continue that legacy by adopting the full rule in 2023. Colo-

rado has the opportunity to demonstrate national leadership on this and pave the way for other states to do the same.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR From hypothesis to mass delusion to exploitation

The reality concerning global warming and the IPCC climate change “hypothesis,” made in 1990, “that our global warming is primarily due to CO2emissions” is clear; (1) All the meetings, messaging, and pleas over the last 33 years, to reduce CO2emissions have cost billions, generated fear and been totally unsuccessful. Annual COemissions continued to accelerate.

2 They increased worldwide by more than 160%., (2) Multiyear periods of global temperature cooling and stability, documented from 1880, do not correlate with continuously rising CO2emissions and atmospheric CO2since then, (e.g., for 34 years from 1945-1979 the global temperatures was cooler than the 1944 temperature and CO2emissions from 1945-1979 quadrupled, from 4.2 to 19.6 billion tonnes/yr.)., (3) Hundreds of billions of added tonnes of CO2were emitted to the atmosphere since 1979, when global temperatures began to rise and, per the IPCC, CO2had taken primary control of global warming.

However, all the CO2added to the atmosphere did not, in the last 24 years, produce an increase in global warming rate over the rate from 1976 to 1998, which led to the CO2culpability hypothesis. Rather, based on the NASA global land-ocean temperature index, the more recent, 1998 to 2022, global warming of 0.280C or 0.0120C/yr., is consider-

The art of politics

I have volunteered and worked on campaigns since 2007. I have seen my fair share of dirty tricks and smear campaigns. It is often seen as a necessary evil when you want your candidate to win. But where do you draw the line? Is all fair in love and war? In my opinion, the answer is no.

A line must be drawn when statements you are making are not factual. This is the case with a mailer that was just sent to Jefferson County voters. This mailer makes the statement that Thomas Wicke, Amara Hildebrand, and Joel Newton cannot be trusted and would support an incomplete history of our country being taught in schools and extreme activists taking over school boards. These are very powerful statements, and in the case of Joel Newton, they are 100% false.

A little context: School board races are supposed to be non-partisan.

It is, however, very easy to find out which party a candidate belongs to. In the case of the school board, you have 3 Democrats: Michele Applegate, Erin Kenworthy, and Joel Newton. Thomas Wicke and Amara SEE LETTERS, P29

VOTE FROM PAGE 14

School boards also have the final say on many contentious issues. If a student is expelled and the family appeals to keep that student in school, or if a teacher is fired and appeals to keep their job, the school board makes the final decision. School boards have voted to opt out of Colorado’s comprehensive sex education standards, to remove police from schools, and to bring police back.

Exactly how school boards operate can vary from district to district.

For example, in 2020, school boards in some districts voted on whether to move to online learning, while in others, the superintendent made that decision.

School board members don’t typically get involved in the details of running the district. That’s the superintendent’s job.

School board members can’t discipline a teacher or principal or directly tell them what to do. They don’t set bus routes or decide which routes to cut if there’s a driver shortage. School board members don’t directly pick which schools to close.

In most situations, the superintendent will make a recommendation to the school board. The school board can vote to approve or reject the recommendation or ask for other options.

School board members also can raise awareness about problems and ask for policy changes. If enough board members agree, the superintendent will work on that idea.

Most school board members are elected by the registered voters in that district.

School board members serve staggered four-year terms. On a fivemember board, three of the seats would be up for election one year.

Then two years later, the other two seats would open up. The Denver school board has seven members, with four seats open one year and three seats open two years later.

Most school boards have term limits, so members can’t serve more than eight years total.

School boards always have an odd number of members so they don’t end up with a tie — though ties can still happen if someone skips a meeting or abstains from a vote.

Sometimes a school board member quits in the middle of their term.

In that case, the other school board

members choose someone to finish the term.

Sometimes school districts cancel school board elections because there aren’t enough candidates for a contested vote. That saves some money but means voters don’t have a choice in who runs the schools. Whoever volunteered becomes the school board member.

Some school districts elect school board members at large. That means each school board member represents the entire district, rather than a specific region within it.

If your district elects members at large, you’ll see all the candidates on the ballot and can vote for as many candidates as there are open seats.

If there are two open seats, you can vote for two candidates. If there are three open seats, you can vote for three candidates, and so on. The top vote-getters serve on the school board.

Other school districts are divided into geographical regions, and each school board member represents a region. These school board members have to live in that region.

In some school districts, only voters who also live in that region get to vote in those school board races. If that’s the case in your district, you’ll see just the candidates for your area on the ballot. You can vote for one candidate, and the top vote-getter will represent that region.

In other school districts, such as Jeffco and Adams 12, school board members have to live in a certain region, but they have to win election districtwide. Every voter in the school district sees multiple school board races on their ballot, and they’ll choose one candidate for each race.

Most Colorado school board members are unpaid volunteers. State law allows school board members to be paid up to $150 a day for official business, and a few school boards, such as Denver and Sheridan, have decided to pay members small stipends.

A school board that wants to pay its members has to hold a public meeting on the idea and then vote on the pay package. Compensation doesn’t go into effect, though, until after the next election. Current board members can’t vote to pay themselves and would only get paid if they win re-election.

News organizations like Chalkbeat write about many school board elections.

PRIMARILY PUMPKIN

PERCEPTI The orange gourd has moved from inauspicious beginnings to being an autumn staple

it, the seeds were tasty. The hard fruit was scraped out to use for bowls and cups. Through years of seed cultivation and seed trading, pumpkins became larger and oranger, and then other modifications were bred into them.

Current pumpkins

BY DEB HURLEY BROBST DBROBST@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Y

ou could call pumpkins an important symbol of autumn.

The minute September rolls around, pumpkin appears in every food imaginable from pumpkin-spice lattes to soups to pumpkin cereal. Huge cartons of pumpkins arrive in stores as we prepare for fall holidays.

But what do we know about pumpkins? How long have they been growing? Do they have other uses than decorations and pie? Why are some pumpkins different from the orange pumpkins we carved as children?

Here’s your chance to learn more about the orange — and sometimes white and even teal — gourds.

Bitter beginnings

The pumpkin began as a tiny fruit — yes, pumpkins are fruits — as long as 7,500 to 10,000 years ago in Mexico and Central America, according to Jennifer Ackerfield, head curator of natural history collections at the Denver Botanic Gardens.

The original fruit from the Cucurbita family, which is Latin for gourd, was tiny, hard and round, nothing like today’s pumpkins, and the plants were stinky. Historians hypothesize that the fruits were eaten by woolly mammoths, Ackerfield said, and there were six indigenous species, with one species growing now in the Denver Botanic Gardens’ York Street location.

While the plant was gross, as Ackerfield put

Halloween pumpkins are specifically bred for size, shape and the pumpkin-wall thickness, so they make better jack-o’-lanterns, according to Eric Hammond, CSU Extension director for Adams County.

“Recently there has been a lot more interest in unique shapes, sizes and textures, even those with warty textures,” Hammond said.

“Interestingly, the funky varieties are old-time varieties. We wouldn’t call them heirloom pumpkins, but it’s in a similar vein.”

He said pumpkins, like many fruits and vegetables, have a wide genetic diversity, and some plant breeders look for that.

“Sometimes they find wild varieties that are attractive, and they cross-breed them to get desirable traits,” Hammond said.

He said nowadays, people are looking for unusual-looking pumpkins, and growers are happy to take advantage of the demand for them.

“Unusual-looking pumpkins have always been there,” he said. “It’s just there wasn’t a demand for them until recently.”

If you want your pumpkins to last a lot longer and you are not carving them into jack-o’-lanterns, wipe them with a diluted bleach solution, which kills microbes, and the pumpkins will last a lot longer, Hammond said.

He advised people to compost their pumpkins after they have outlived their decorative purpose rather than throwing them away, so they don’t add to landfill waste.

weighed 1,729 pounds, and earlier this month, a pumpkin named Michael Jordan was crowned at the 50th World Championship Pumpkin WeighOff in California as the largest pumpkin ever grown, weighing 2,749 pounds.

• The Pumpkin Capital of the World is Morton, Illinois, which is the home of Libby’s pumpkin industry. About 12,300 acres of pumpkins are grown yearly in Illinois, the most of any state, and more than 1.5 billion pounds of pumpkins are grown yearly in the United States, according to the Farmers’ Almanac.

• Pumpkins were once considered a remedy for freckles and snakebites, the almanac said, and settlers cut the flesh into strips, dried them and used them to weave mats.

• Native Americans grew and ate pumpkins and their seeds long before the Pilgrims reached North America. Pilgrims learned how to grow and prepare pumpkins from the Native Americans. Pumpkin was most likely served at the first Thanksgiving feast in 1621, the almanac said.

• The earliest pumpkin pie made in America was different from today’s pumpkin pie. Pilgrims and early settlers made pumpkin pie by hollowing out a pumpkin, filling the shell with milk, honey and spices, and baking it, the almanac said.

• Each pumpkin has about 500 seeds, and there are 45 varieties of pumpkins, according to Good Housekeeping magazine.

• The first jack-o’-lanterns weren’t made from pumpkins. Instead, the Irish carved faces in turnips, and Ackerfield called them very scary looking. When Irish immigrants moved to America, they found pumpkins more suitable.

• Christopher Columbus brought pumpkin seeds, along with corn and potatoes, back to Europe, the almanac said.

Adams City High School ends football season AD: Injuries, small roster cut Eagles’ year short

BY JOHN RENFROW JRENFROW@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

After a bumpy season riddled with injuries, Adams City High School is ending its football season early. The team had two games to go and will forfeit those, leaving the Eagles with a 1-9 record, 0-4 in the 4A Metro 2 League.

The school expects football to be back next year.

Andrew LaCrue, the athletic director of the Commerce City school, said the decision simply came down to numbers. The team already had a short roster, and after injuries cut the number of active players to close to 15, coaches decided to end the season early in order to protect the kids.

“Having to juggle, reschedule, and after we got down to basically 15 kids, those kids started getting hurt,” LaCrue said. “A big part of it, too, is the league we’re part of. There’s a lot of

bigger teams. Bigger as in team size, 65 to 70 players, and physically, a lot of our kids were sophomores.”

Adams City shares their league this season with Broomfield, Fruita Monument, Heritage, and Aurora Central.

The Eagles were getting outmanned on a weekly basis, and because of the disparity, injuries were happening more frequently.

Adams City lost a handful of seniors after the 2022 season. With less students interested this year, the Eagles couldn’t afford the injuries they’ve suffered this season, LaCrue said.

“We made a choice with the coaches,” he said. “What’s more important right now? The kids’ safety or finishing out the season?”

Adams City plans to implement a recurring spring program, which they haven’t done in the past, in order to try to attract more students.

“It’s just this season,” LaCrue said.

“Hopefully we’ll engage our middleschoolers who are coming up and engaging more kids.”

LaCrue praised the coaching staff for how they’ve handled the rough

season. The Eagles still plan to hold practice and have workouts. Focus will shift to preparing for 2024, including working on improving strength and conditioning.

Coach Jared Deaguero, a former Adams City football player and wrestler, said prior to the season that he wants to get his players in multiple sports. It helped him as a player and he knows it can help build strength in his players as well.

LaCrue said the entire staff brings a multi-sport focused approach to the football program.

“In two weeks, we’ll go into ‘OK, what sport do you want to play next?’”

LaCrue said. “We got basketball, we got wrestling. Go do one of those.

Even if you guys don’t compete and you’re still practicing, so be it, but go do a winter sport. Then, what sport do you want to do next? Our coaches are going to be looking to get involved in those as well, so that our students aren’t only students year-round, but athletes year-round as well.”

Golden and Fruita Monument — the last two teams the Eagles were

Adams City coach Jared Deaguero said he believes in a “Commerce City toughness,” and that’s it’s essential to have because the school doesn’t have the luxury of having an overabundance of FILE PHOTO players.

The last winning season for Adams City was in 2005, which was also the last time the school advanced to the state football playoffs.

Colorado ultra athletes changing conversation about fastest times

BY JASON BLEVINS THE COLORADO SUN

When cycling pro Lachlan Morton clipped into the pedals of his packsaddled Cannondale on Aug. 29 at the starting line of the Tour Divide in Banff, Canada, he was on a mission.

Twelve days, 12 hours and 21 minutes later he rolled into Antelope Wells, New Mexico, with the fastest time ever for the 2,670-mile Tour Divide route that climbs 192,000 vertical feet across the spine of the Rockies.

Morton completed the route nearly a day and a half faster than the record set in 2016, but his journey will not be recorded as the fastest known time, or FKT. That’s because Morton was chased by a film crew, which was making a movie of his blistering tra-

verse of the Continental Divide. Those camera operators are a violation of the Tour Divide’s self-sufficiency ethic, even though they did not assist in any way.

Morton knew that when he started.

His mission was bigger than glory and accolades.

“Look, I’ve won bike races before and it’s a great feeling but it’s pretty fleeting,” said the 31-year-old cycling champion who has turned his prowess in road biking toward long-distance endurance pedaling. “The only benefit of not having the film crew was a record for me personally. I’m not going to say I don’t care about that at all, but I don’t care about it more than sharing my story with more people. The role of a professional athlete is to inspire people to participate and

get involved. That should be every athlete’s goal when they are considering a challenge or trying to win something.”

The fastest known time phenomenon exploded during the pandemic as countless athletes quietly converted just about every trail, climb and hike in the mountains into race routes. Morton’s disregard for the hallowed FKT mirrors the recent effort

by Boulder adventurer Erin Ton. In July, the 25-year-old Ton climbed 57 of Colorado’s highest peaks in an extraordinarily hasty 14 days, 10 hours, claiming a solo, self-supported speed record that will be officially logged as a DNF because she skipped a privately owned peak due to “considerable moral issues” with the owners of the Cielo Vista Ranch.

Could record-setting athletic feats by athletes like Morton, an Aussie who lives in Boulder, and Ton diminish the FKT trend, which was born more than two decades ago as a way to herald often-overlooked athleticism?

Nope, said Buzz Burrell, the legendary endurance athlete who, alongside adventure running partner Peter Bakwin, forged the realm of fastest known times in the late 1990s and launched a website as an online trophy shelf for speedy runners and mountaineers.

Running a race on a track is blackand-white with an obvious winner.

Move that race into wild lands and countless options can influence the results, Burrell said.

“We established guidelines so there would be a level and equal playing field and everyone can know where they stand,” Burrell said. “And because Mother Nature is complex and ever-changing, there will be nuances within that framework. That’s the way it goes. So if someone breaks the rules, 99% of the time there is no asterisk. There is just no FKT. The problem is social media, which announces something before verification can take place, so it seems like a done deal.”

Burrell sold his fastestknowntime. com website to Outside Inc. last year, with 5,738 routes across the world for runners and mountain climbers to log their speediest times. The website includes 202 routes in Colorado where athletes can race far from pavement or spectators.

In 2019, renowned cyclist Lael Wilcox vied to become the first woman to win the Tour Divide. The acclaimed endurance athlete — she set the women’s record for the route in 2015 and was the first woman to finish in 2023 after riding 3,000 miles

from her home in Arizona to the start in Banff — enlisted a film crew in her 2019 effort. Even though she dropped from the race, that film crew sparked ire from some racers who argued that media teams violated the race’s requirement that all competitors remain self-supported.

Tour Divide veteran Jay Petervary took the position that the film crews “can inject undue moral hazard into the equation” serving as “a security blanket for a rider on the edge and thus poses artificial psychological uplift.”

By the 2022 race, the rules included a note that “while not yet published” the race director had decided that individual film crews are not allowed to follow athletes. The rules also prohibit racers from visiting with family and friends who travel to the route.

Morton set out from Banff with a plan to break the speed record. He also wanted to prove a new strategy for peak speed. Eschewing seemingly mandatory drowsiness on the route, Morton planned to sleep 12 hours for every 48 hours on the trail, or around six hours a night.

“I think one of the big barriers to attempting fast ultra-type events is people not wanting to deal with sleep deprivation and they think they can-

not be competitive without enduring that,” Morton said. “I wanted to show that you can do these events safely and competitively with sleep.”

Morton has no animosity toward race organizers who will keep late endurance cyclist Mike Hall at the top of the Tour Divide record list for his 2016 race time of 13 days, 22 hours and 51 minutes.

He doesn’t think his speedy time will remain unchallenged for long.

“I think having set a time that was quite a bit quicker, I think next year you will see people go quicker,” Morton said. “That’s my small contribution.”

Aside from speed and proving his sleep strategy, Morton said his Tour Divide race was a highlight of his life in the saddle.

There were long stretches between towns where he could resupply with food. A couple times, he said, he wanted to quit “but sometimes the easiest thing to do is keep moving.”

“It definitely tested me a number of times,” he said. “But you get in a pretty special head space when you are focused for that period of time. Your needs become pretty simple: Pedal as much as you can. Get food. Get sleep. And repeat. It’s as simple as life can get even though it’s about as difficult an experience one can have.”

Morton said he’d like to pedal the route again. But slower. Much slower.

“To really experience the route you probably need five, six weeks,” he said. “There are so many wonderful little towns. So many really support-

TRAFFICKING FROM PAGE 5

In a Jefferson County case announced last month, a sheriff ’s special investigations unit uncovered a human trafficking operation inside a massage parlor in Golden. After receiving a report from someone who feared a massage therapist was a trafficking victim, law officers searched the business and discovered that a Chinese citizen had been coerced into performing sex acts in exchange for a green card, authorities said.

Colorado statistics show the state has been far more focused on sex cases than labor cases. All but 10 of the 267 cases that resulted in charges in the past 17 years were sex trafficking, the report found.

“Sex trafficking tends to receive more attention,” Alejano-Steele said. There is a “lag in understand-

ing” about what labor trafficking looks like, speculating that it’s harder for people to recognize because the effects of it are commonplace in daily life. People are complicit when they buy coffee or fruits and vegetables produced by people who are being trafficked, she said.

“It makes labor trafficking feel a little bit close to home,” she said.

People who have unstable housing are some of the most at risk for becoming trafficking victims, and traffickers will prey on people who are in shelters or temporary housing because they know that housing will expire. The Laboratory is hoping to work with more housing nonprofits so people are trained to help residents avoid being trafficked.

“When you have somebody who is in need of making money, in need of getting a shelter over their head, in need of putting food on the table … you have prime conditions for a trafficker,” Alejano-Steele said.

“If you are desperate, you will follow somebody who is offering you a day job.”

Colorado updated its trafficking laws in 2014, creating the Colorado Human Trafficking Council and aligning state law with federal trafficking laws. As a result, the state saw a burst in prosecutions. But the

number of prosecutions statewide has declined since then.

Prior to 2014, there were just two trafficking convictions in Colorado.

Additional state laws since 2014 have sought to provide immunity for prostitution offenses for minors who are sex trafficked, create felony-level crimes for stealing wages, and give agricultural workers the right to state minimum wage, overtime and labor organizing. A 2022 law established an office for missing and murdered Indigenous people, who are trafficked at higher rates, within the Colorado Department of Public Safety.

Colorado Supreme Court: Low ratings don’t harm school districts

BY YESENIA ROBLES CHALKBEAT COLORADO

The Adams 14 school district failed to show that state intervention caused any real harm or injury and has no basis to sue the state, the Colorado Supreme Court ruled this month.

The ruling leaves the state’s school accountability system intact but could have larger significance.

The justices threw out a longstanding precedent known as the rule of Martin, which said that political entities that are subordinate to the state, such as school districts and counties, can’t sue the state for ex-

ercising normal oversight.

The justices also noted that the State Board of Education’s actions toward Adams 14 are allowed under the Education Accountability Act and that Adams 14 did not challenge the legality of the law itself.

Justice Monica M. Márquez wrote the opinion, and all six other justices joined in. There were no dissenting opinions.

“A school district is not injured by receiving a low accreditation rating.

A low accreditation rating means that the district will receive additional resources from the state to facilitate improved performance — a process intended to help districts

ams 14 and build on the current work underway in the school district,” she said in a written statement. “We know that a focus on student achievement by working together is the best way forward for the students, staff, families, and community of Adams 14.”

An attorney for the Adams 14 school district hailed the decision as a victory for local control, even though the justices upheld a lower court’s dismissal of the district’s lawsuit against the state.

“My little school district getting rid of a 53-year-old law that was being used against local governments and local school boards, is a big deal,” Adams 14 attorney Joe Salazar said of the rule of Martin.

“Sounds like a good day to me.”

Having had the district’s case thrown out didn’t matter, Salazar said.

Facing widespread opposition within the district and from neighboring communities, Córdova already had backed off a state order that the district should reorganize after years of low test scores. That order prompted the lawsuit in the first place.

“We don’t care; we already defeated reorganization,” Salazar said.

After agreeing with Adams 14 that the rule of Martin was harmful, the ruling says the state should only use another rule, known as the Wimberly rule, which says that to have standing to sue, a plaintiff must prove injury to a legally protected right. Under that rule, the court found Adams 14 still didn’t meet the bar for suing the state for relief.

“The State Board actions that Adams 14 challenges are expressly permitted or required by the Education Accountability Act, the facial

legality of which Adams 14 does not challenge,” the ruling states.

Adams 14 had made several arguments that the Supreme Court grouped into four sets. Among them, the district argued that the state violated the district’s right to local control when the State Board used an external State Review Panel to evaluate the capacity of the district’s leadership and when it reviewed its contracts with partners.

The court ruling states that the district’s right to local control has to be balanced with the state’s obligations to oversee schools, and that in simply reviewing leadership or contracts, the state didn’t actually restrict the district’s operations.

The ruling also states that the State Board was following the law in taking those steps.

Another argument Adams 14 made was that the state set cut scores for tests that led to school districts with more students from lower income or non-English speaking families being more likely to earn low ratings, causing the districts harm based on their populations.

In this case, the Supreme Court’s ruling found that the cut scores don’t directly cause a district to lose accreditation or be forced into reorganization. “Many intervening steps must take place,” the ruling states, meaning that having that be the potential injury claimed in the lawsuit was “‘overly indirect and incidental’ and too far removed from the State Board’s use of cut scores” to constitute injury.

In the case of Adams 14, the district has been rated low performing since 2010. It has been under state improvement plans of some sort since at least 2017 and has not yet managed to earn higher ratings.

In 2022, the State Board ordered the district to undergo reorganization with neighboring districts.

Reorganization could have meant closing some schools, shifting boundaries, or letting neighborCLAIM YOUR

ing districts take over parts or all of Adams 14. But the neighboring districts that appointed members to the reorganization committee declared their support for Adams 14, and ultimately, the committee submitted a plan that said any reorganization would be harmful.

The new state commissioner this year approved that recommendation and released the district from that State Order.

Adams 14 is still under another State Board order that requires it to be working with an outside group to manage and improve the district.

Adams 14 had been working with TNTP, formerly known as The New Teacher Project, but over the summer, negotiations broke down after the district asked the group to scale back its work in the second year.

The Adams 14 school board approved a new contract with TNTP in September, but state education department staff told the State Board of Education that the contract

doesn’t meet State Board requirements. State officials said much of the required work is happening, but some is being handled by other subcontractors or district staff.

And despite the state education department increasing school improvement funding to Adams 14 to a total of $1.2 million, the new TNTP contract is worth just $395,587.

The State Board of Education will hold a rehearing on how to approach school improvement efforts in the district next spring.

Córdova said the State Board will continue to work in compliance with state law and the ruling does not make it easier for school districts to sue the state.

Nonetheless, Salazar said he’s sure the state’s accountability law and system are likely to see more legal challenges.

State seeks successor for criminal justice commission Polis forms panel to recommend a replacement for policy advisory group

BY JESSE PAUL THE COLORADO SUN

Gov. Jared Polis issued an executive order forming a task force charged with recommending a replacement for a panel that helped guide the Colorado legislature on criminal justice policy for more than a decade before it was shut down this year by Democratic state lawmakers who said it wasn’t operating as intended.

The governor’s task force is also

charged with filling the policy-recommendation void left when the Colorado Commission on Criminal and Juvenile Justice stopped operating earlier this year and until a replacement is created.

“We want the work to continue,” Polis said in an interview with The Colorado Sun. The CCJJ, formed by the General Assembly in 2007 and the brainchild of then-Gov. Bill Ritter, was intended to help remove partisanship from the process of drafting criminal justice reform policy. The 30-member panel was made up of legislators, prosecutors, representatives of the court and community members.

But progressive Democrats in the General Assembly this year began to have doubts about the commission and shut it down in a surprise vote in

the final days of the 2023 legislative session when it came up for reauthorization in the House Judiciary Committee.

“I think we spent the last 20 years coming back and fixing policy that CCJJ has recommended,” state Rep. Lorena Garcia, an Adams County Democrat and a member of the House Judiciary Committee, told The Colorado Sun in May. Polis and moderate Democrats were furious at the decision, with the governor quickly vowing to pursue a replacement.

The working group formed by Polis’ executive order will have 17 members, including a county human services representative, a victim advocate, a victim of a crime, a former offender, a law-enforcement representative, a criminal defense expert, the attorney

general, the executive director of the Department of Public Safety and others.

The task force, whose makeup is similar to the CCJJ, though it has less influence from the courts, is charged with presenting its recommendations on a CCJJ replacement or replacements by March 1.

Polis said he hopes the legislature, which reconvenes in January and operates for 120 days, will pass a bill acting on the panel’s advice.

One advantage of a criminal justice policy commission created by the legislature is that it can be better staffed than a panel created through an executive order, Polis said.

“We’ll do our best to make it work,” Polis said.

SUCCESSOR FROM PAGE 26

The governor said his executive order doesn’t have an end date, meaning the working group can remain in place indefinitely. It’s his plan, however, to end the task force should and once the legislature creates a CCJJ replacement.

“If there’s a formal group in statute, the executive order would likely be rescinded at that point,” Polis said The ACLU of Colorado, one of the groups that urged the legislature not to reauthorize the CCJJ, said that it was disappointed with the makeup of the governor’s task force.

“We agree the sunsetting of the CCJJ should be an opportunity to ‘reimagine criminal justice policy and reform work in Colorado’ but that reimagining will be much harder to achieve when it’s the same cooks in the same kitchen as the CCJJ,” said Taylor Pend-

ergrass, the group’s director of advocacy. “It is precisely because some criminal justice issues can be complex that a rigid, one-size-fits-all permanent committee is likely not the best way to do criminal justice policy making.

It didn’t work well in the last few years in the CCJJ, it’s not an approach you see much of in other states, and it’s not something we embrace with other complex policymaking in Colorado — whether that is housing, water or education.”

Garcia, the state representative who voted against reauthorizing the CCJJ, said that she was disappointed in the governor’s order.

“I would like the see the focus of a criminal justice commission focus on innovative effective prevention methods, not debunked sentencing motivators that cost the state tons of money that could be funneled to early childhood, K-12 education (and) transportation,” she said.

The CCJJ’s work in recent years led to a rewrite of the state’s criminal code

to downgrade the penalties for misdemeanors and reclassify a number of crimes as lower-level offenses. This year, three bills debated in the legislature originated in the CCJJ, including a controversial change to the state’s auto theft laws that was panned by progressives because of how it increased penalties for some kinds of car theft.

State Sen. Julie Gonzales, a Denver Democrat and chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee, told The Sun that the CCJJ didn’t have enough racial or geographic diversity, nor enough people who had “lived experience” with the criminal justice system.

“It was my understanding that the CCJJ was meant to be a place free from politics where you could dive into issues, as difficult or complicated or nuanced as they may be,” Gonzales said.

“But increasingly CCJJ became a place where we, as a legislature, sent things that we didn’t really want to study or wanted to slow down.”

Polis said he was disappointed when the CCJJ wasn’t reauthorized

and that he thinks the work the panel did changed Colorado for the better.

“Look at the body of work — over 100 bills that became law,” he said. “I would really put the question to anybody: Is Colorado more just and safer because of the over 100 bills that came out of CCJJ? I think almost anyone anywhere on the spectrum would agree that while, of course, nobody can get everything perfect every time, Colorado is safer and more just because of those over 100 bills that came out of this process — that became law.”

Law enforcement groups and prosecutors celebrated Polis’ order in statement’s released by the governor’s office.

dynamic and complex than people give it credit for, and so many musicians are finding new ways to push the sound forward. As the leader of Durand Jones & The Indications, Jones has found a way to throw

the dates and times of local candidate forums. Community groups like the League of Women Voters and educational nonprofits often host forums or panels where you can hear from the candidates in their own words or even ask them questions. You can also check out candidate websites and see how candidates describe themselves and talk about their priorities.

Read about the candidates or watch how they answer questions.

Think about how their views com-

pare with yours or how their life experience might have prepared them. What connection do they have to local schools? What kinds of work have they done?

At the same time, be aware that school board candidates —like all politicians —sometimes use words that sound good to everyone but can mean different things to different people. If a candidate talks about strong neighborhood schools, listening to parents, or supporting teachers, look for

more information about what they mean.

an IEC (Independent Expenditure Committee) has paid for this mailer.

Why did Students Deserve Better lump Joel Newton together with the conservative candidates? I don’t have an answer for you other than to say the author chose to be lazy and deceitful. The easy route in political messing these days is to say Democrats are “good” and conservatives are “bad.” This is what

I believe this mailer was trying to get across. This messaging is shortchanging the voters, especially in the case of Joel Newton, because the Students Deserve Better decided to lump Joel together with the conservative candidates. The broad statements made against the three non-union endorsed candidates are bold-faced lies when applied to Joel.

This mailer is unfortunate, disappointing, and disheartening to say the very least. We must demand honesty and integrity in our elections. I will end this letter by asking Erin Kenworthy and Michelle Applegate to denounce the Students Deserve Better mailer and explicitly state they do not condone their deceitful tactics.

Broken rail likely caused Pueblo train derailment CDOT said.

There still remains confusion over who owns the bridge that collapsed and who was responsible for maintaining it. A spokesperson for BNSF, which operated the train that derailed and owns the line it runs on, told The Colorado Sun the state owns the bridge.

But Matt Inzeao, communications director for the Colorado Department of Transportation, said state officials are still combing through documents, going back to the bridge’s construction in the late 50s, to determine who owns it.

“We have been working through some conflicting information thus far,” Inzeo said in an email. “We do not have access to the maintenance and inspection activity performed by BNSF for this bridge.”

Generally, CDOT’s inspection and maintenance focuses on bridges carrying cars and trucks “and only deals with railroad and

utility bridges as needed,” Inzeo said.

It’s also unclear where the train was headed.

An Xcel Energy spokesperson said the coal was not en route to the Comanche power plant in Pueblo and will not affect the plant’s operations.

The Pueblo County Coroner’s Office identified the truck driver killed in the derailment as Lafollette Henderson, 60, of Compton, Calif.

None of the train’s crew were injured.

A broken rail likely caused a train hauling 124 cars of coal to derail on a bridge over Interstate 25 north of Pueblo, killing a semi truck driver, federal investigators with the National Transportation Safety Board said.

The board’s preliminary assessment determined that the bridge collapsed after the train derailed on Oct. 15, sending coal and mangled train cars across I-25 and closing the busy route between Pueblo and Colorado Springs. As many as 30 train cars derailed.

Investigators were at the scene in the aftermath, trying to figure out what caused the broken rail and why warning systems did not alert crews, the NTSB said.

Federal investigators will also look at the adequacy of prior track inspections and the condition and

maintenance history of the bridge.

The federal agency will release its preliminary report within 30 days.

A final report could take up to two years to be completed.

The broken rail was east of the bridge over I-25, the NTSB said.

Both northbound and southbound lanes of I-25 remained closed in the days after the crash as crews continued to clear debris from the road. BNSF expects cleanup to be completed by Wednesday, when CDOT engineers and maintenance crews will assess the damage and determine what repairs are needed to reopen the highway.

Drivers headed south are advised to use Colorado 115 until they reach Penrose, before heading east on U.S. 50 toward Pueblo.

Northbound drivers can exit the interstate at U.S. 50 and go west, toward Pueblo West, then north on Purcell until they reach I-25,

a volunteer.”

GiGi’s volunteers are also pioneers. GiGiFIT classes were developed by two Wheat Ridge physicians, according to Klane.

“Dr. Sarah Mann and Dr. Jennifer Spiric have pioneered research in purposeful physical therapy for individuals with Down syndrome,” West said. “GiGiFIT caters specifically to the unique physiological needs and concerns of people with Down syndrome, while also building a foundation of strength, stability, balance, mobility, reflex integration, and endurance.”

According to Klane, the GiGiFIT programs are available at GiGi’s Playhouse Denver, 57 GiGi’s Playhouse locations across the country, as well as online through the Virtual Playhouse.

West and Klane both urge the public to check out GiGi’s Playhouse. There are opportunities for volunteering and so much more.

“Consider volunteering,” West said.

The first step, according to West, is scheduling a tour of the playhouse.

“Then sign up for the virtual training or the in-person training,” West said. Then, once approved and fully onboarded, volunteers can fully experience the playhouse.

For more information on GiGi’s Playhouse and to sign up for a tour, visit GiGisPlayhouse.org.

There are 58 playhouses across the U.S. and Mexico. The one in Lakewood is the only location in Colorado. Klane said that all offer the same services and aesthetics.

“What Nancy and her team have done is made certain that you’re going to walk into any GiGi’s Playhouse and it’s going to have that same welcoming, vibrant, fun and warm feel to it,” Klane said.

“They’re all going to have the same colors. They’re all going to have the same verbiage on the wall about respect and kindness and support, and they’re made in a format that speaks to the individuals who have Down syndrome.”

The playhouse offers services that help people of all ages with Down Syndrome, including tutoring, social activities and more.

Most of the people who work at GiGi’s are volunteers. and Klane said no one pays to visit GiGi’s.

“We are 90% volunteer-driven,” Klane explained. “Everything we do is about raising money so that the programs and services that we offer to those with Down Syndrome of all ages as well as to their families are free. So therefore, there is no hindrance of not being able to afford what we what we provide.”

One of the fundraisers that keeps GiGi’s Playhouse free for families is the 5K Glow COURTESY OF GIGI’S PLAYHOUSE Run for Acceptance. This photo is from April 29, 2023.

Jerrianne West, a retired educator, spoke about her experience as a volunteer.

“Volunteering at the playhouse is amazing,” West said. “It gives you an opportunity to not only teach individuals with Down Syndrome but get to know the families that have individuals with Down Syndrome.”

According to West, there is an onboarding process for volunteers, designed by founder Gianni. The classes are required and ensure

that each volunteer is prepared to work with the playhouse’s clientele.

“GiGi’s corporate provides everything that you need to know, and all the training that you need to be able to work with the individuals,” West said.

She assures future volunteers that the classes are not difficult.

“It’s seamless,” she said. “It’s easy and it makes the playhouses warm and welcoming. It’s one of the best experience experiences I’ve had as

THE AGRICULTURAL DITCH AND RESERVOIR COMPANY Anthony Cline, Manager 12700 W. 27th Avenue Lakewood, CO 80215 Legal Notice No. 416978 First Publication: October 5th, 2023 Last Publication: November 2nd, 2023 Published in: The Golden Transcript Public Notice NOTICE OF DEFAULT AND FORECLOSURE SALE WHEREAS, on October 6, 2003, a certain Deed of Trust was executed by The Doris A. Aldrich Trust, as Grantor and Doris A. Aldrich, in favor of Financial Freedom Senior Funding Corporation, a Subsidiary of Lehman Brothers Bank, FSB, and the Public Trustee of Jefferson County, Colorado as Trustee, and was recorded on October 27, 2003, at Reception Number F1893697, in the office of the Clerk and Recorder of the County of Jefferson, Colorado; and WHEREAS, the Deed of Trust was insured by the United States Secretary of Housing and Urban Development (the Secretary) pursuant to the National Housing Act for the purpose of providing single family housing; and WHEREAS, the beneficial interest of the Deed of Trust is now owned by the Secretary, pursuant to an assignment recorded on August 11, 2014 at Reception Number 2014066031 in the office of the Clerk and Recorder of the County of Jefferson, Colorado.

WHEREAS, a default has been made in the covenants and conditions of the Deed of Trust in that Paragraph 9 (a) (i) has been violated; and WHEREAS, the entire amount delinquent is $351,377.35 as of August 29, 2023; and WHEREAS, by virtue of this default, the Secretary has declared the entire amount of the indebtedness secured by the Deed of Trust to be immediately due and payable; NOW THEREFORE, pursuant to the powers vested in me by the Single Family Mortgage Foreclosure Act of 1994, 12 U.S.C. 3751 et seq., by 24 CFR part 27, subpart B, and by the Secretary’s designation of me as Foreclosure Commissioner, recorded on December 19, 2017 at Reception No. 2017129817 in the records of

Commonly known as: 9555 West 53rd Place, Arvada, CO 80002.

The sale will be held on the front steps of the Jefferson County Administration and Courts Building located at 100 Jefferson Parkway, Golden, CO 80401.

The Secretary of Housing and Urban Development will bid the lesser amount of the loan balance, or the appraised value obtained by the Secretary prior to sale.

There will be no proration of taxes, rents or other income or liabilities, except that the purchaser will pay, at or before closing, his prorated share of any real estate taxes that have been paid by the Secretary to the date of the foreclosure sale.

When making their bids, all bidders except the Secretary must submit a deposit totaling 10% of the Secretary’s bid in the form of a certified check or cashier’s check made out to the Secretary of HUD. A deposit need not accompany each oral bid. If the successful bid is oral, a deposit of 10% of the Secretary’s bid must be presented before the bidding is closed. The deposit is nonrefundable. The remainder of the purchase price must be delivered within 30 days of the sale or at such other time as the Secretary may determine for good cause shown, time being of the essence.

This amount, like the bid deposits, must be delivered in the form of a certified or cashier’s check. If the Secretary is the highest bidder, he need not pay the bid amount in cash. The successful bidder will pay all conveying fees, all real estate and other taxes that are due on or after the delivery date of the remainder of the payment and all other costs associated with the transfer of title.

At the conclusion of the sale, the deposits of the unsuccessful bidders will be returned to them.

The Secretary may grant an extension of time within which to deliver the remainder of the payment. All extensions will be for 15-day increments for a fee of $500.00, paid in advance. The extension fee shall be in the form of certified or cashier’s check made payable to the Secretary of HUD. If the high bidder closes the sale prior to the expiration of any extension period, the unused portion of the extension fee shall be applied toward the amount due.

If the high bidder is unable to close the sale within the required period, or within any extensions of time granted by the Secretary, the high bidder may be required to forfeit the cash deposit, or at the election of the foreclosure commissioner after consultation with the HUD representative, will be liable to HUD for any costs incurred as a result of such failure. The Commissioner may, at the direction of the HUD representative, offer the property to the second highest bidder for an amount equal to the highest price offered by that bidder.

There is no right of redemption, or right of possession based upon a right of redemption, in the mortgagor or others subsequent to a foreclosure completed pursuant to the Act. Therefore, the Foreclosure Commissioner will issue a Deed to the purchaser(s) upon receipt of the entire purchase price in accordance with the terms of the sale as provided herein, HUD does not guarantee that the property will be vacant.

The scheduled foreclosure sale shall be cancelled or adjourned if it is established, by documented written application of the mortgagor to the Foreclosure Commissioner no less than three (3) days before the date of sale, or otherwise, that the default or defaults upon which the foreclosure is based did not exist at the time of service of this notice of default and foreclosure sale, or all amounts due under the mortgage agreement are tendered to the Foreclosure Commissioner, in the form of a certified cashier’s check payable to the Secretary of HUD, before the public auction of the property is completed.

The amount that must be paid if the mortgage is to be reinstated prior to the scheduled sale is

$351,377.35 as of August 29, 2023, plus all other amounts that would be due under the mortgage agreement if payments under the deed of trust had not been accelerated, advertising costs and postage expenses incurred in giving notice, mileage by the most reasonable road distance for posting notices and for the Foreclosure Commissioner’s attendance at the sale, reasonable and customary costs incurred for title and lien record searches, the necessary out of pocket costs incurred by the Foreclosure Commissioner, and all other costs incurred in connection with the foreclosure prior to reinstatement.

Tender of payment by certified or cashier’s check or application for cancellation of the foreclosure sale shall be submitted to the address of the Foreclosure Commissioner provided below.

Hernandez Pascasio has filed a Petition for Allocation of Parental Responsibilities with this Court.

The Petition alleges that you have abandoned the child named in this matter, which rises to the level of child abuse as you have failed to provide any support or care for the minor.

A Permanent Orders Hearing has been scheduled for December 19, 2023 at 9:00AM. If you do not appear for the hearing, the Court may enter orders against you.

Allocation of Parental Responsibilities by the Petitioner and Co-Petitioner, or upon personal service of the Petition and Summons on the Respondent, or upon waiver and acceptance of service by the Respondent, an automatic temporary injunction shall be in effect against both parties until the Final Order is entered, or the Petition is dismissed, or until further Order of the Court. Either party may apply to the Court for further temporary orders, an expanded automatic temporary injunction, or modification or revocation under §14-10-125, C.R.S. A request for genetic tests shall not prejudice the requesting party in matters concerning allocation of parental responsibilities pursuant to §14-10124(1.5), C.R.S. If genetic tests are not obtained prior to a legal establishment of paternity and submitted into evidence prior to the entry of the final order, the genetic tests may not be allowed into evidence at a later date.

Automatic Temporary Injunction – By Order of Colorado law, you and the other parties: 1. Are enjoined from molesting or disturbing the peace of the other party; and 2. Are restrained from removing the minor child(ren) from the state without the consent of all parties or an Order of the Court modifying the injunction; and 3. Are restrained, without at least 14 days advance notification and the written consent of all other parties or an Order of the Court, from cancelling, modifying, terminating, or allowing to lapse for nonpayment of premiums, any policy of health insurance or life insurance that provides coverage to the minor child(ren) as a beneficiary of a policy.

If you fail to file a Response in this case, any or all of the matters above, or any related matters which come before this Court, may be decided without further notice to you.
