COVID mask-wearing order for Arapahoe, Adams counties Jeffco, Denver also get mandate; Douglas County passes BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Facing the possibility that the current COVID-19 surge could breach Colorado’s hospital capacity, the public health agency for Adams and Arapahoe counties has issued a new indoor mask-wearing mandate, effective Nov. 24 through at least the end of the year. The Nov. 22 mask order from the Tri-County Health Department’s board echoed those from health authorities in Jefferson County, Denver and some other counties, while Douglas County leaders signaled Nov. 23 they don’t plan to require the wearing of masks. Hospital demand was the driving force behind the action by the board of Tri-County Health — which serves Adams and Arapahoe counties and provides certain services in Douglas County — to approve the new mask mandate. With rates of new coronavirus cases reaching levels not seen since last December — and daily deaths among those with COVID-19 recently hitting numbers higher than they did during the first wave in spring 2020 — coronavirus hospitalizations in Colorado may soon overtake last December’s peak. That mark was 1,847 confirmed COVID patients on Dec. 1, 2020. The Colorado School of Public Health has estimated a 48% chance that hospital demand exceeds 2,000 beds in the next several weeks if coronavirus trends remain on their current trajectory, John Douglas, executive director of Tri-County Health, cited during the Nov. 22 meetiong of the agency’s board. Hospital bed capacity in Colorado is now at an “all-time low”

compared to other times during the pandemic, Douglas’ presentation said. That’s partly due to patients hospitalized for conditions other than COVID-19, although COVIDspecific hospitalizations themselves have been on the rise for months. The mask order applies to all people 2 and older in all public indoor spaces in Adams and Arapahoe counties with certain exceptions. Douglas mentioned recent requests to the state public-health department to institute a mask

mandate — pleas that have gone unanswered. “We felt that if the state was unwilling to act, metro-wide action” could help alleviate the hospital crisis, Douglas said during the meeting. Also on Nov. 22, the Jeffco Public Health board voted 4-1 to institute a mask mandate for people 3 and older. “This is (an) action that really should have been taken a while ago,” Jeffco health board chair Greg

Deranleau said during the video meeting, referencing guidelines from the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention that strongly recommend mask wearing in high-transmission areas. Denver followed suit with a mask order a day later. Boulder and Larimer counties already had issued mask mandates in recent months. Tri-County’s order will not apply in Douglas County, where the SEE MASKS, P10

Veteran news leader named Colorado Community Media editor Lisa Schlichtman will oversee CCM’s 8-county news operation STAFF REPORT

The next editor-in-chief of Colorado Community Media is Lisa Schlichtman, an experienced, award-winning news executive and an industry leader. CCM Publisher Linda Shapley made the announcement Nov. 29. “I’ve been familiar with Lisa’s award-winning leadership for a number of years, and to have someone with her passion and talent guiding our journalists at Colorado Community Media will mean great things as we look to grow our brand,” she said. Schlichtman, until recently the editor of the Steamboat Pilot & Today newspaper, joins CCM on Jan. 3. “I am thrilled to join Colorado Community Media and take on the new role of editor-in-chief,” Schlichtman said. “I look forward to sharing my years of experience in the newspaper industry with CCM’s talented team of reporters and editors with the goal of connecting the communities we serve through engaging, locally-focused content and impactful journalism.” Schlichtman will lead the news teams of CCM’s two dozen Colorado newspapers and websites as well as other publications. CCM was sold earlier this year by Jerry and Ann Healey to The Colorado News Conservancy, a partnership of The Colorado

Sun and the National Trust for Local News dedicated to fostering community journalism. CCM newspapers serve Adams, Arapahoe, Clear Creek, Denver, Douglas, Elbert, Jefferson and Weld counties. “Our publications have tremendous potential and reach, and it is exciting to be part of the newly established Colorado News Conservancy,” Schlichtman said. Schlichtman succeeds Mark Harden, who retired as CCM editor last fall but has been serving on an interim basis since July while the search was underway for a permanent editor. Harden steps down Dec. 16. “Lisa is just the sort of dynamic, innovative, experienced news leader who can help CCM reach its greatest potential,” Harden said. “I am so pleased she has agreed to join us and I wish her great success.” Since July 2013, Schlichtman has been editor of the Pilot & Today, a daily newspaper founded in 1885 and serving Steamboat Springs and Routt County. Schlichtman and her staff received the Colorado Press Association’s 2020 News Leader of the Year award for a multiplatform, in-depth reporting series, “Indivisible,” which focused on issues of diversity, equity and inclusion in Routt County and efforts to bridge divides. CPA named the Pilot & Today the state’s best newspaper in its size class for 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2019. And the newspaper under Schlichtman also received the 2019 Presidential Award from the Colorado Organization for Victim

Westminster argues against mandates BY LUKE ZARZECKI LZARZECKI@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Westminster City Council sent a letter to Jefferson County Public Health Nov. 22, urging the department not to adopt a mask mandate. “With respect to the draft JCPHO 21-006 public health order, you are considering today, however, the majority of Westminster City Council urges the Board of Public Health to pause and reconsider,” the letter states. “This order will create an undue burden on the mental, emotional, and economic well-being of the employees and employers in our business community.” In the letter, the city council’s letter also endorsed a statement that was sent from the Westminster Chamber of Commerce to the board of public health. “Our written statement is to urge you to not consider a vaccine passport in places of business, or a mask-wearing in lieu of vaccination passports,” Juliet Abdel, president and chief executive officer of the Westminster Chamber of Commerce, wrote to the board. The statement listed other concerns among, according to the chamber. Those include concerns that employees would be required to enforce any mandates, that they could be costly to businesses, would increase the stress and burden business now contend with and could share sensitive private infor-

mation, infringing on an individual’s safety and wellbeing. The letter endorsing this statement was signed by Mayor Nancy McNally, Mayor Pro Tem David DeMott, Councilor Bruce Baker, Councilor Sarah Nurmela, Councilor Rich Seymour and Councilor Lindsey Smith. The only councilor not to sign on was Obi Ezeadi. Ezeadi said it was the process that concerned him. “This vote was taken last night by email,” Ezeadi said. “I’m not blaming my colleagues, I’m blaming the process, it’s the existing protocol that we have that sometimes for emergency sake we do vote behind the scenes. I don’t believe that should still exist.” Ezeadi then stressed the dire situation Colorado’s healthcare system is facing. “From what I gathered, the intent of this is to slow the spread of the virus, not to eradicate the virus,” Ezeadi said. “To be clear, the public health order is about a countywide, universal face-covering requirement. It is not a vaccine mandate.” Ezeadi continued to note that with cases high, hospital beds are filling fast. Surgeries are being delayed and patients are being shipped to other counties, he explained. He sees a mask mandate as long-term planning. SEE MANDATES, P10

Being ready to help key for CASA volunteers BY KATHLEEN DUNLAP SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA

The first time Larry Varys heard the term “CASA”, it was from a student in his class at Regis University. “I thought she was speaking Spanish to me,” the now semiretired teacher remembers with a chuckle. But Varys soon learned that CASA was an acronym for a Court-Appointed Special Advocate. Court-appointed special advocates are volunteers who spend time with youth and children with active court cases in truancy or abuse and

neglect. They need someone who will provide not only a stable connection but speak on their behalf. CASA does that, based on the program definition listed on the Colorado CASA website: “A CASA is a trained community member who acts as an agent of the court. They work directly with the professionals on the case to make sure that the best interests of the children and youth they serve are always front-and-center.” Varys appreciates the purpose of the CASA organization. He and his wife adopted two kids in the early

1980s without this additional support. “We became CASAs because of our kids,” he says. “We knew the value.” That was 10 years ago. Since his introduction to the organization, Varys’ volunteer efforts as a CASA have included working with caseworkers, Guardian ad Litem’s, judges, and of course, the kids. “There are commonalities to each case—mainly, kids need to be valued,” he said. This idea of value drives Varys’

concerted efforts on behalf of the kids. He writes regular reports to the court, updating judges on the child’s progress in school, or therapy interventions, or how placement in a foster home is progressing. “There is a lot of input into a case,” Varys said. “You have to build trust with the team. Overcommunicate. Sometimes foster parents think a CASA is butting into parenting. Sometimes a caseworker will think you aren’t needed. But you are. You have value.” SEE CASA, P5

BRINGING HOME THE HOLIDAY MEAL PHOTOS BY SCOTT TAYLOR

Kaiser Permanente staffers donned turkey hats as they gave away health care information and goodies Nov. 20 at Adams County’s Operation Freebird. Organizers said they were ready to give out 2,500 frozen turkeys as well as fruit, vegetables and all the fixings for a Thanksgiving meal. This is the 18th year the Adams County sheriff has hosted the PHOTOS BY SCOTT TAYLOR free giveaway.

CASA FROM PAGE 4

More than 2,200 volunteers serve as CASAs for more than 4,500 children, according to the organization’s Annual Report. A former caseworker with Jefferson County, who asked that her name be withheld, said she had worked with more than 12 CASA volunteers. “Every experience has been amazing,” she said. “To have another positive role model in kids’ lives

Volunteers and county workers gathered enough goodies to provide a Thanksgiving meal – with turkeys, stuffing, fruits, vegetables and all the fixings – for 2,500 families Nov. 20 for Operation Freebird. “We couldn’t do it last year, because of COVID,” Adams County Sheriff Rick Reigenborn said. “But the year before, in 2019, we expected about 2,500 people. And that’s what we are prepared for this year.” The Adams County Sheriff Department has sponsored the Thanksgiving meal giveaway since 2003. That year, the department handed out 250 free birds, Reigenborn said. The event has grown since then and offers information about county services and other non-profits. The sheriff’s office, the Adams County Sheriff’s Foundation and more than 200 local non-profit agencies and other community partners also help provide a range of services to the needy in the North Metropolitan area.

and another adult showing up for them is an opportunity to heal from trauma. I have seen CASA’s show up for kids during their hard times and their good times. They are an incredible resource to caseworkers and have the ability to make a significant change in a child’s life.” Most of the time Varys feels deeply appreciated in his role as CASA. “Jefferson County treats us like professionals—like we are paid experts.” He knows that his input into a child’s life matters. The relationship they build together through

his visits lasts long after he is dismissed from a case. He keeps in contact with his “kids,” calling them or taking them for bike rides or the occasional ice cream. He believes this connection remains vital because “…you don’t want to be another statistic in a child’s life, so they say, ‘Well, there’s another person who didn’t stick with me.’” The CASA organization is always seeking more volunteers, so Varys encourages participation. “It’s a roller coaster of emotion. But if you are mature and stable, this work is wonderfully rewarding,” he says. The most important

factor for a fresh volunteer to consider is the time commitment to a case. Volunteers must spend time with their assigned child, be an active part of the caseworker’s team, and write court reports. The organization is broadening its scope of services to children, though, so soon, volunteers will have other options, like tutoring a child or helping in office work. “We had to create a hierarchy to meet the needs,” Varys explains. “The needs of children are huge.” For more information on becoming a CASA volunteer in Colorado, visit: https://www.coloradocasa.org/

Jury finds Adams County jail guard not guilty BY STEVE SMITH SSMITH@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

BRIGHTON – An Adams County jury returned a not-guilty verdict in a third-degree assault trial of Adams County Sheriff’s Deputy Andrew McCormick on Nov. 18. McCormick was charged with assaulting a handcuffed inmate in the Adams County Jail in August 2020. The jury returned its verdict after

two days of deliberation in Adams County District Court. Video presented at trial from inside the holding showed deputies Chad Krause, Michael Montgomery and Jaimie Malecha entering the cell of an inmate after what a press release called “a dispute regarding the position of his handcuffs.” McCormick entered the cell a short time later. “According to the video, Deputy

McCormick proceeds to strike the victim nine to 12 times in the shoulder with a closed fist,” the press release said. The Weld County Sheriff’s Office conducted the investigation. Malecha did not face charges. Krause and McCormick faced similar charges but won’t stand trial. “As a result of the jury’s verdict today, however, the district attorney’s office concludes it cannot pro-

ceed forward on the cases against Deputy Krause and Deputy Montgomery,” the press statement said. District Attorney Brian Mason said it’s his job to prosecute those who have broken the law. “No one is above the law, be it a private citizen, a police officer or a sheriff’s deputy,” Mason said in the statement. “When there is evidence of criminal wrongdoing, we will prosecute such cases without fear.”

Front Range-focused Canvas Credit Union plans merger BY MARK HARDEN MHARDEN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Canvas Credit Union, a Front Range-focused financial company based in Lone Tree, announced Nov. 15 that its merger with a Western Slope credit union has been approved by regulators and the two

organizations’ boards. Canvas currently has about 30 branches across metro Denver and in the Fort Collins-Greeley-Loveland area, so the merger with Grand Junction-based Western Rockies Federal Credit Union marks an expansion into western Colorado. Under the deal, Canvas will add

more than 40 employees of Western Rockies FCU to its workforce, and Western Rockies FCU’s Grand Junction, Rifle and Fruita branches will remain open, Canvas said in a statement. Western Rockies member accounts will transition to Canvas. “Canvas also plans to explore opportunities to open more branches

along the Western Slope,” the statement said. Western Rockies has $150 million in assets and 14,000 members. The statement said the combination had been approved by the state of Colorado and the National Credit Union Administration, the industry’s federal regulator.

United Power to change energy efficiency rebates in 2022 STAFF REPORT

United Power offers its members exclusive rebate opportunities on home efficiency installations and energyefficient appliances. Rebate availability and product eligibility may change slightly each year

depending on a variety of factors, such as whether the rebate is renewed by Tri-State, the cooperative’s wholesale power provider. Changes to United Power’s energy efficiency rebates are coming at the beginning of next year. The deadline for this year’s appli-

cations is Dec. 15. Late applications may be honored at the new 2022 rates, according to a statement. But some rebates have been discontinued for the upcoming year. The statement said beginning in January, United Power will no longer offer rebates for EnergyStar dish-

washers, electric thermal storage or new air conditioning installations. The coop suggested people planning to purchase one of these products within 120 days of the deadline should submit the application paperwork as soon as possible.

The Advent Radio Players have recreated old-time radio shows for the past nine years, using original scripts, several microphones and sound effects from the original programs just as they were heard on the radio. Each play is performed like a live radio show including lighted applause and on the air signs. This year’s performances are a Fibber McGee and Molly Comedy, “Fibber Paints a Christmas Tree White” will be followed by a Dragnet Drama “The Big Little Jesus”. These will be presented using the original scripts and sounds just as they were presented on the air in 1945 and 1953. Donations are appreciated. You can also watch the plays live at https://www.facebook.com/ adventwestminsterco, the church’s Facebook page. Saturday, Dec. 18 Thornton Chorus Winter Concert: Thornton’s Community Chorus presents their annual holiday concert “Christmas Through the Ages”, featuring all varieties of holiday music, from 7-9 p.m. at the Village Church, 4550 2128th Ave., in Thornton.

This year’s concert will also be live-streamed on the group’s Youtube page, https://www.youtube. com/user/thorntonCchorus.

MASKS FROM PAGE 1

county’s new health department — created amid county leaders’ unhappiness over Tri-County Health’s COVID-safety rules — has authority over countywide public health orders. Douglas County officials are not considering a mask mandate there, a county spokesperson said. And at a Nov. 23 meeting, county commissioners -- two of whom are also board of health members -- sounded unconvinced that a mask order was needed in the county. “We are seeing breaking points in other systems around the state and the metro area,” Douglas County Commissioner George Teal said in the meeting. “I have an appreciation for the system here in Douglas County being stressed. There’s a big difference between a system being stressed versus a system breaking.” ‘Tyranny and power’ During the public comment

MANDATES FROM PAGE 2

“If we don’t intervene, the prospect of another lockdown, which is way worse than a mask order, is very likely at the rate that we are on. It’s a very, very dire situation,” he said. He said a public forum is needed to discuss this public order. Mayor Pro Tem DeMott said the

December 2, 2021 portion of the Tri-County Health board’s Nov. 22 meeting, Gregg McGough, of Arapahoe County, said Tri-County’s actions had been ineffective at controlling the virus. “Your efforts have sacrificed the economy (and) destroyed education,” said McGough, one of roughly a dozen who spoke against the mandate at the meeting. He added: “Let us get back to the pursuit of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.” Douglas dismissed the idea that Tri-County took the step of a new mask mandate “because we enjoy exercising tyranny and power.” “We didn’t undertake this to win a popularity contest,” Douglas said. He added: “We undertook this because our reading of the situation is that there are substantial downsides that are going to (occur) if we breach hospital capacity and have to ration care.” “Rationing care” is a term that means deciding which patients do — and don’t — receive certain types of care in situations where hospitals are stretched too thin. Douglas touched on the question of why Colorado saw such high

COVID surges last year despite the state’s now-defunct mask mandate being in effect at the time. “The answer is masks are not perfect,” Douglas said, calling masks one part of a larger set of strategies to fight the virus. “Frankly, things (in terms of virus spread) didn’t completely shut down when we locked down last spring.” He noted the “counterfactual,” or what would have happened if Coloradans didn’t have a mandate. Evidence “suggests that in at least a short period of time, … masking does appear not to be perfect but to help make a difference,” Douglas said. Melissa Rawsky, of Adams County, said during the public comment period: “I have no question in my mind that if we didn’t have a mask mandate last year, the cases (in the holiday season) would have been much worse.” Board of health members Julie Mullica, Rosanna Reyes, Julie Schilz, Jan Brainard and Kaia Gallagher voted “yes” in favor of Tri-County issuing the mask mandate, and Thomas Fawell, an Arapahoe Coun-

reason why the vote to endorse the chamber’s statement happened over email was to respond to the business community, who asked council to take a stance on the issue. “A lot of our business community reached out to us and asked us to weigh in on it,” DeMott said. He stands against a mask mandate because it puts the task of enforcement on businesses, and he thinks that responsibility does not rest with them.

“I do not think that is their role and frankly, the risk people decide to take and not to take is up to them,” DeMott said. He also believes masks cause other health implications. “I will say there are other healthrelated things that masks do cause for people. I have a daughter with severe anxiety. I can tell you what people with mental health concerns having to be around a bunch of people with masks when they read

ty representative, voted “no.”

Tied to hospital capacity The public health order will remain in effect through Jan. 2 — and further after that until staffed intensive-care unit bed capacity reaches 10% or greater for 14 consecutive days. The 10% ICU capacity mark was to be considered at a regional level because “no county is an island in terms of its hospitals,” Douglas said. Currently, staffed ICU bed availability in the North Central Region that covers Adams and Arapahoe counties is 5.8%, according to a news release from Tri-County Health. Hospital capacity remains extremely tight, with ICU bed utilization at 93% in Adams County and 100% in Arapahoe County, according to the health agency’s release. As of Nov. 22, Adams County’s seven-day rate of new infections was 346 per 100,000 people, and up to that point in November there had been 232 persons hospitalized. Reporters Elliott Wenzler and Glenn Wallace contributed to this story. people’s faces, there are some negative consequences of the mask that you have to decide for yourself if they outweigh it,” he said. Nurmela said she signed the letter because she does not endorse a vaccine passport requirement. “Our business community asked us not to endorse vaccine mandates in the form of vaccine passports as well as requiring the unvaccinated to be the only ones wearing masks,” she said.

Build Back Better package needs further trimming

he stage is set for a “moment of truth” within the Democratic Party. President Biden’s historic Build Back Better CROSS social legislative package now comes CURRENTS before the U.S. Senate where every last Democrat is needed to pass the $1.75 trillion funding. The House of Representatives finally reached a Bill Christopher compromise within their own party and passed the behemoth legislation by a mere seven votes (220-213). To set the stage in bringing the legislation to the Senate, the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO) announced its findings on the bill. It concluded that over the 10-year life of the bill that the federal deficit will increase by $160 billion. The proposed increased taxes on wealthy individuals and corporations are projected to fall short by this amount versus the White House’s claim that it would be totally covered over this timeline.

The United States should not take on more debt. It is out of balance with our GNP and leaves us financially vulnerable. At least cut out the $160 billion shortfall The funding package consists of five major components: The climate change portion is $555 billion, $400 billion for universal pre-K, affordable home care is $150 billion, affordable housing is $150 billion, $200 billion for four weeks of paid leave and $165 billion for healthcare improvements. It’s a safe bet that the Republicans will try to kill the legislation plus Democrat “wild cards” Senators Manchin and Sinema will demand changes. Manchin likely will kill the paid family leave package. In my opinion, Build Back Better needs further trimming. While Biden had proposed $3.5 trillion initially, it has been cut back to $1.75 trillion. As the cliché goes, “you can’t be all things to all people.” Too often elected officials simply want to ignore this point and plow ahead. While I don’t have a magic figure in mind, the bottom line is that those new expenditures should

always be offset by new revenues. No new debt should prevail. According to CBO’s estimate, cuts amounting to $160 billion would be needed. If you cut the four weeks of paid leave to two weeks, $100 billion could be saved. If $60 billion would be cut from the $400 billion universal pre-K, you should have a balanced program. While all the five major program areas are important, I would suggest that the $1.75 trillion is a starting point and cuts are both justified and required if the BBB is to become a reality. The “Qanon Shaman” is sentenced to prison Remember the bare chest Jan. 6 rioter with the horned fur hat and painted face? He looked like he owned the U.S. Capitol on that infamous day. Jacob Chansley, known as the “QAnon Shaman” and the “face” of the riot, met his match with U.S. District Court Judge Royce Lamberth. Chansley was sentenced to 41 months in federal prison. All I can say is he got off easy in my opinion. He and the other rioters did a despicable thing to break into the seat of our federal

government, destroyed property, killed and injured law enforcement personnel and attempted to tear down our democracy. Now, he is remorseful for his previous acts. Well, he will have plenty of time to think about what he and other so-called Patriots did. Hopefully, the Congressional investigation will divulge who were the instigators behind this insurrection. What is the highest and best use of federal dollars? Each governmental entity has had to wrestle with how best to utilize federal money provided via the American Rescue Plan Act. The legislation is in response to the impacts of the COVID pandemic and provides fairly wide latitude in how to use the funds. The funds are to be used for the following purposes: (1) assistance to individuals and businesses due to economic impacts, (2) respond to workers performing essential work during COVID, (3) for provision of government services to replace reduced funding caused by COVID and (4) invest in water, sewer or SEE CHRISTOPHER, P13

In the spirit of the season of giving and receiving

ere we are in another season of giving and receiving. The truth is that we are always in a season of giving and receiving, this time of year just amplifies the WINNING spirit of both. And WORDS we have all heard that it is far better to give than it is to receive. This may be true, but there are times when it is equally awesome to receive. Giving comes in many ways. We can Michael Norton give in the form of money, resources and time. We can give gifts and presents. We can give back to a cause or community, or maybe we can give back to a person or family who had helped us out when we needed it. We can give through charities and organizations. Many companies, houses of worship, and other organizations have “Giving Trees” where we can choose to help people and families in

need. And we can do all our giving, no matter what it may be, silently and anonymously. What’s it like to be on the receiving end of gifting? For many of us, no matter where we find ourselves today, we have been in a position of need. We may have had a difficult season of life. We may have endured a tragedy or hardship. There may have been a time when unexpectedly we found ourselves out of work. Or we may have had an illness or injury that left us unable to care for ourselves or a loved one. Many of us who can relate to any of these situations, when someone stepped up to help, know just how humbling receiving can feel. Think of the greatest gift that we have ever received. Maybe it’s the nicest and most expensive, but something tells me it’s not. More than likely, if we give it some deeper thought, we will remember the time our in-laws loaned us a few dollars to cover our mortgage. Or our neighbors stepped up and purchased our groceries. Maybe it was a time when

each friend cooked a meal for us as we balanced being with our spouse in the hospital and taking care of our children. The gift could have been an introduction to an executive who had a job opening at a time when we needed work. The gift could have simply been a hug, a night out with a close friend, some overdue laughs over coffee or a beer. Being on the receiving end of a gift is humbling. Sometimes, if we let it, it could be embarrassing. This is where I hope to change our thinking about that as there is no shame in accepting any form of help. You see, in the last paragraph where I listed the types of gifts we could receive, each one of those is an example of a gift I have received in my own life. A gift that came at just the right time. Some came from family, some came from friends, and some came from strangers. And all were received with humble gratitude. This holiday season, I encourage us to give the gift of giving and receiving. There are so many opportunities right in front of us to

give of our money, resources, time and talents. And should we find ourselves in the need of a hand up, or a little or a lot of help, let us receive it gratefully and humbly, without reservation or shame. Let’s receive it all in the spirit of love in which it is being given. As a way of giving back, each year I offer free keynote speeches on the topics I cover in this column throughout the year; Winning Words; Hope and Encouragement; Motivation and Inspiration. If your organization or company would benefit from such a talk, please let me know. And if you would like to gift one of my talks to an organization or company, let me know that too at mnorton@tramazing.com. And when we allow the spirit of giving and receiving to enter our lives, it really will be a better than good year. Michael Norton is the grateful CEO of Tramazing.com, a personal and professional coach, and a consultant, trainer, encourager and motivator to businesses of all sizes.

broadband infrastructure. Funds are to be distributed this year and in 2022. In Westminster’s case, staff initially presented a recommended list of projects in August but didn’t seek formal action until the last full council meeting in October. A total of $14.5 million has been approved for Westminster. It is my observation that this decision came with the then-pending mayoral and council election only eight days away, and the councilors at that time didn’t give thorough thought and analysis to the various recommended projects. Plus, the public awareness of the targeted expenditures was next to nil.

;

Thus, there was little or no feedback realized. Specific projects which warrant further thought It certainly is unusual for a new city council to go back and und0 what a previous council enacted. However, given the magnitude of the funding involved and the short time which has elapsed since council approval on Oct. 25, I would suggest that a “time out” be called and the newly seated city council evaluate the funding package. There were eight specific programs/projects that staff had recommended and the council approved. I won’t take the space to list all of them as some were quite relevant. The two projects which I want to flag are listed as (1) Communications and Audio/Visual ($1 million)

Suggest City Council re-consider spending $2.75 million None of the eight projects called for further financial assistance to small businesses in Westminster. Based on feedback that can be supported by the Westminster Chamber of Commerce, small businesses are not back to normal. An extra financial “helping hand” would be most helpful and certainly needed. The live streaming technology upgrade would be nice to have, but not essential in my book. While the city would be wise to continue a virtual option for citizens to observe council meetings, perhaps this project could be funded over a

couple of years and use a portion of the $1 million elsewhere. The wording on the City Hall Xeriscaping description is misleading. I inquired of staff to determine why xeriscaping would cost so much and asked how much water could be re-allocated to a different location. Staff indicated that the xeriscaping was a small part of an overall re-landscaping which would include walking trails, a community space and xeriscape demonstration gardens. Staff also indicated that between 1.5-2.5 acre-feet of reclaimed water would be “saved” and be available to use elsewhere. While some modifications to the current turfed lawn at City Hall seem warranted, the plan as described by staff seems quite excessive to me. A good portion of these funds could be added to the $4 million already earmarked in the federal funding package for street repairs and improvements. City Council needs to pull these projects back and re-evaluate.

and (2) City Hall Xeriscaping ($1.75 million). There was little detail provided in the written memo to councilors on both projects. The communications and audio/ visual expenditure is to “invest in live-streaming technology in Council Chambers to provide highquality audio and video during City Council meetings.” The City Hall Xeriscaping description states “In partnership with Western Resource Advocates, the City would convert the acres of water-intensive grass at City Hall to a less costly and more natural landscape.”

Cherry Creek North Holiday Market connects community vendors, seasonal shoppers BY CHRISTY STEADMAN CSTEADMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

endors at this year’s Cherry Creek North Holiday Market are excited to have conversations with people and help shoppers find the perfect gift. “People like to support local businesses,” said Erik Swanson, owner and founder of The Log Candle. “Especially when it’s something that somebody made out of their garage.” The Log Candle is a unique item that Swanson came about through what he called a “happy accident.” Swanson has a background in graphic design, but enjoyed dabbling in woodworking as a hobby. He set out to make a birdhouse in the late spring of 2020, and by June that year, he ended up creating his Log Candle. Swanson later left his cubicle job and started making the Log Candles full time — selling them at the Mile High Flea Market and outdoor arts-and-crafts markets throughout the metro area. “People seem to really enjoy them,” Swanson said. “It’s something they have never seen before.” The Log Candle is, like it sounds, a candle made out of a small log. The logs come from local tree trimmers, Swanson said. When wax is added, it feeds the flame, which spreads across the top, creating the candle effect. It

is meant for outdoor use, and people have enjoyed them for their patios, balconies and porches, Swanson said, adding that some people have even taken them on camping trips. Swanson, of Englewood, is one 30 vendors at this year’s Cherry Creek North Holiday Market, and many of the 30 are local crafters/artisans or small business owners. The market, produced by Fetch Concepts and now in its second year, opened on Nov. 18 and runs through Dec. 24. It is located on Fillmore Street between First and Second Avenues. A family business Madison Stewart’s sons are tending House of Stewart’s booth at the market this year. “They like the fun atmosphere” of the holiday market, she said, “and that people like tasting the candies.” The House of Stewart makes traditional Scottish candies. This includes caramels and the Scottish tablet, which isn’t found in the U.S., except for rare occasions such as world markets, said Stewart, owner and founder of the Denver-based business. The House of Stewart got its start in May 2016. Stewart is an Army veteran and went to law school — the only baking she did was on the weekends for her family. “I never imagined a career in the candy business,” Stewart said. However, she frequently traveled back-and-

forth to Scotland on leisure trips and enjoyed the Scottish candies so much that she would bring back as many that she could. “Then I decided that other Americans would probably enjoy the candies as well,” Stewart said. Today, House of Stewart candies and confections ship across the U.S., and Stewart is looking to open a storefront in Las Vegas early 2022. People enjoy the candies and fancy packaging, which is catered to adults, Stewart said. The candies are great for parties or gifts — “And for yourself,” Stewart said. “If you’ve had a hard day and want to treat yourself, why wait for a special occasion?” SEE MARKET, P15

Look to the sky and catch the ‘Meteor Shower’

very holiday season there are productions you’re guaranteed to see popping at theaters all over — classics like “A Christmas COMING Carol” and “The ATTRACTIONS Nutcracker.” And there’s absolutely nothing wrong with these stories, but it’s always nice to see a company shake things up. Enter the Benchmark Theatre, which is staging Clarke Reader a production of “Meteor Shower,” written by comedy legend Steve Martin. The regional premiere of the show runs at the theater, 1560 Teller St. in Lakewood, through Saturday, Dec. 18. Performances are at 8 p.m. Thursday through Saturday and 2 p.m. on Sunday. Audience members 12 years old and older must be fully vaccinated or show a negative COVID-19 test no more than 72 hours old. Directed by resident guest director Warren Sherrill, the show follows Corky and Norm, who are hosting Gerald and Laura in their home outside of Los Angeles to watch a once-in-a-lifetime meteor shower. Since Martin is behind the show, what ensues is wild and hilarious journey. We spoke to Sherrill about the play and what makes it the right fit for the season. Interview edited for brevity and clarity.

MARKET FROM PAGE 14

Much more to ‘wander’ about The Holiday Market is part of Cherry Creek North’s Winter Wanderland, which offers a variety of free, festive activities for the entire family. The Winter Wanderland Light Walk features Cherry Creek North’s 600 trees adorned with nearly a million lights. Another not-to-miss attraction is the U.S. debut of the Creos company’s “domino effect,” created by Ingrid Ingrid and located at Third Avenue and Milwaukee Street. Creos is a Canadian company that presents touring interactive installations. The interactive and musical traveling art installment came to Cherry Creek North from Montreal, and will only be in Denver until Dec. 31. “We want to provide a place for our community to create lasting memories they return to year after year,” said Nick LeMasters, president and CEO of the Cherry Creek North Business Improvement District, in a news release. “This event has grown into an incredible opportunity for families to feel the glow of the holidays around every corner in Cherry Creek North.” Something unique and interesting to be found The walkable Cherry Creek

Tell me about “Meteor Shower” and what it’s about? All you have to do is mention who wrote Meteor Shower and you know right away what kind of ride you’re in for. It’s a hilarious, somewhat absurd comedy about marriage and the choices we make to keep that marriage strong. Challenges to marriage are common, but how we choose to deal with them can make all the difference, whether we face them alone or as a team. On top of that, the play bounces back and forth in time as if this meteor shower has something to do with the bending of reality and time. Ultimately, it’s a “wild and crazy” night. Why was this selected as the holiday show? Benchmark is mostly known for putting on thought-provoking shows with strong messages and this season is no different. But this show was chosen to offset these heavier shows with something that is just plain silly and fun. And who can’t use some silly fun, right now. The holidays are a perfect time for this show. What makes the show unique? I think Martin’s special brand of humor makes this show unique. There’s really no one who can achieve just utter goofiness like he can but still carry an interesting arch with a smart plot. What do you most want people who see the show to come away with? I just want people to have a smile

on their faces. This play is the sort of medicine we need right now (other than our vaccinations!) to help us escape and just laugh a little, or a lot. The message of the play isn’t deep but the experience is. For tickets and information, visit www.benchmarktheatre.com. Walking through a Winter Wanderland Cherry Creek North’s second annual Winter Wanderland is back with a range of activities including a display of nearly one million lights on more than 600 trees spread throughout the neighborhood, an interactive art installation, Saturday Night Lights with complimentary holiday treats and entertainment, and the Cherry Creek North Holiday Market.

Clarke’s Concert of the Week — Chvrches at the Mission Ballroom Scotland’s Chvrches are one of the few bands that can integrate synth pop into their sound in a way that feels organic and genuine. Sometimes their music embraces dance elements, other times it integrates New Order-esque alt-rock. Whichever way they go, their tunes are perfect for the chilly winter evenings and their latest album, “Screen Violence,” is one of the year’s best. In support of the album, the trio will be joined by Donna Missal at the Mission Ballroom, 4242 Wynkoop St. in Denver, at 8 p.m. on Wednesday, Dec. 8.

Library playing lost and found with a family genealogy Fort Lupton branch searching for Paulson, Miller families to claim books BY BELEN WARD BWARD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Librarians in Fort Lupton are hoping to find the people missing a very specific kind of treasure that they may not realize exists. Librarian Cindy Lyons at the Fort Lupton Public & School Library was rummaging through some archives in the back of the library a year ago when she came across a treasure of three large books documenting the genealogy of the Miller and Paulson families. The collection likely took years to put together, with photos and scraps from the 1800s through the 1980s. “We think maybe someone was cleaning out a relative’s house in Fort Lupton and mixed the genealogy books with other books that they were donating,” said Lyons. Each book contains numerous old photos and hundreds of pieces of information on the family history, tracing their lineages and generations of families that married and blended. The library needs help identifying the families and finding their relatives to give them back this precious story of ancestors, but there are clues. Since the large books contained an expansive family genealogy, they know contributors include Mavis Aaaker Larson. daughter of Clara Paulson Aaker, the granddaughter of Kjerski and Martin Paulson. To date, the contributors haven’t been found.

Paulson, born August 25, 1845, in Drammen, Norway. He was the son of Paul Paulson and Mary Krogstad. He was educated in Norway and worked as a bookkeeper until 1866 when he turned 21-year and migrated to America leaving behind his parents and his brother Andrew. His nephew, Torlief Hauge Paulson, passed away at age 85 in 1968. He was a professor at Oslo University and was the last Norwegian relative of Martin Paulson listed in the books. Martin’s wife Kjersti Paulson was born in Hadeland, Norway on December 14, 1860. She migrated to America from Norway with her parents Christen Paulson and Gillbjorg Samestua at age 9 in 1869. They settled in Filmore County near Lanesboro, Minnesota. It was in Filmore County where Martin met Kjersti and the two married on May 22, 1876. After they married, the newlyweds traveled to the Dakota Territory in a covered wagon pulled by oxen. When arriv-

ing, they built their first house sod house, living in it for several years, until they completed a log cabin house. Paulson filed a homestead claim in August 1883 in Moody County south of Flandreau, South Dakota where there were only three buildings at the time – an old mill, a land office, and a boarding house on the Main Street. They had 11 children: Andrine Marie, Karl Gilbert, Gunda Pauline who died as a baby, Olga, Ida Elisa, George Alfred, Carolina Mathilda, Clara Constance, Henry Arthur, Ella Christine and Myrtie Emilie. The Paulson’s donated land to build a church and cemetery which is now the Lone Rock Olso Parish near Jasper, Minnesota. Library officials are not sure how the books ended up in Fort Lupton, but are hoping to find the family’s descendants. If you know these families, please contact Cindy Lyons at the Fort Lupton Public & School Library at 303-857-7180.

Not many white hats these days to give us a raise,” Weikle said. “They want to make officials’ pay cost-effective for all the schools.”

BY STEVE SMITH SSMITH@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

It’s a national crisis, according to Karissa Niehoff, the executive director of the National Federation of High Schools. “It” is the shortage of officials to work high-school games. The problem is worse because of the impacts of coronavirus. Adam Laubert, former operations director for Herd of Zebras, a group that tries to find and train prospective officials, said some game officials don’t want to retire. A basketball official in semi-retirement said fan abuse is a problem. But he thought another issue was lack of qualifications to work varsity-level games which, he thinks, contributes to an often-cited reason for a lack of officials - fan abuse. A retired CHSAA baseball official blamed three things -- lack of involvement by the Colorado High School Activities Association, a lack of recruiting and retention efforts and low pay. Whatever the reason, a lack of game officials was a problem even before the pandemic and before certain officials didn’t want to hang up their whistles. Niehoff said in some cases, games have had to be moved and sports programs canceled. “We need more people to consider officiating high-school sports,” Niehoff said in a video presentation. “Parents need to appreciate the time and sacrifice and devotion that officials make to ensure high-school sports are available to our nation’s youth.” Pay and travel time One issue is the rate of pay. Salaries for the state’s officials depend on the sport. In baseball and basketball, each member of a two- or three-person crew earns $62.42 per game. In field hockey, the fee is $58.26 for each of the two officials. In volleyball, the fee is $50.98 for each of the two varsity-level officials and $39.02 per official for a junior-varsity or “C” team match. In Texas, high-school football officials are paid $105 to $185 per game, depending on attendance and travel distance. Baseball umpires there earned $85 in travel stipends for the first game and $70 for subsequent games in 2019. In Colorado, the travel stipend increases to $10 per game next

year. According to retired CHSAA umpire Dan Weikle, who worked statelevel playoff games during many of his 46 years as a certified baseball official, the pay for an umpire in 1964 was $10 per game. “If you extrapolate that out, that’s $88 today,” he said. “We get paid $62. The pay hasn’t kept up with inflation. In 1975, when I started, the pay waas $25 ($118 in today’s dollars).” Ray Garza is a former basketball player, former basketball coach and a basketball official in transition. He’s not signed up to work games this season but keeps his referee togs at Riverdale Ridge High School just in case. His issue with pay came in two parts – travel time and the hour before varsity-level games. In the case of a varsity level basketball game, Garza had to be in the gym an hour before scheduled tipoff time. Then there’s the time it takes to get to a gym. In some cases, thanks to traffic, it can take an hour. Garza’s problem isn’t necessarily with the travel time. It’s the hour before the game begins that’s unpaid “What job asks that?” Garza said. “If they could build in something, $10 for gas would be a step. Basketball officials get $48 but no pregame fee.” Game officials are independent contractors; by law, they cannot form a union. Weikle said state’s schools pay CHSAA a fee, part of which goes toward running officials’ associations. “It’s not in CHSAA’s best interests

Recruiting and retention At one time, CHSAA offered training to prospective officials. That’s not the case anymore. Weinkle said even an appearance at a high-school career day would help. Weikle said CHSAA was “good to him” during the time he served as an official. “I don’t have an ax to grind. The system worked for me. I worked state championships in football, basketball and baseball,” Wrinkle said. “CHSAA does nothing to support high-school athletic officials. They leave it to the sports officials’ jurisdictions. CHSAA has a direct connection to the schools, which could do more to get the word out needing more officials. That could pave the way for us to get into the high schools. We could hit as many kids as we could and may get 12 or 15 to stick.” Representatives from CHSAA could not be reached for comment by press time. Dealing with abuse Public address announcers read a statement from the Colorado High School Activities Association that encourages proper ways to support the players and game officials. Niehoff agreed during her video presentation. “We need players, coaches, parents and other fans to be respectful to ensure that those individuals who are currently officiating continue to do so,” Niehoff said. “Cheer positively for the student-athlete and not criticize the officials. The profession is tougher than we might think.” Garza took it a step farther. “Some officials need to be at the middle-school level. But we have such a shortage of officials,” he said. “Some just aren’t ready for the high school level. It’s tough officiating. And if you’re not prepared, it causes frustration among the spectators. Some can’t keep up with the pace. We need bodies to fill the void. But some aren’t working to be better at their craft.” Weikle said his problem wasn’t with high-school fans and coaches. His issue was with summer league organizations. “CHSAA handles the coaches well,” he said. “The summer leagues and

organizations treat the spectators and parents as clients. And as they say, the customer is always right. If the organization comes down on a parent, they are going to say, ‘I’ll take my kid and play somewhere else.’ There is no support of umpires.” Garza said an official’s demeanor can be a help to curb fan abuse. It can also add to it. “If an official becomes frustrated at every word mentioned to them, it frustrates the fans, the coaches. When the official gets rattled, options don’t exist,” he said. “It breaks my heart to see an unqualified official working at levels where he’s not qualified.” Then there’s the matter of appearance. “You get paid to do this,” Garza said. “Your presence speaks volumes to spectators. It’s just like being a coach. The kids come to practice every day because they want to be better,” Garza said. Weikle parks his car as far away from the main parking area as he can, and he encourages his crew members to do the same thing. “I don’t talk to spectators,” Weikle said. “Marc Johnson (the baseball coach at Cherry Creek High School) talks to me and does so with respect. I respect him. He and I are friends. If a coach comes on the field yelling at an umpire, that opens the door.”

Priorities Garza said some officials are using that profession to pay their bills. He knows of one official who works as many as eight games a day and works seven days a week. “You need time off for your body to reset and for a better mindset,” Garza said. “The pay is worth extra money to spend on your family or on the gas to get you to a game. You don’t want to lose money. You want to be the best possible official you can be and make sure you’re not check-marking a game.” “When I step on a field, I get paid as much as Joe Schmo who looks like an unmade bed,” Weikle said. “Those guys are asking for trouble. It shows he wasn’t thinking about baseball until he walked on the field. “I tell officials there are three things you can control .. the way you dress, your actions on the field and your hustle,” he continued. “If you do SEE OFFICIALS, P20

Riverdale Ridge’s Holliday has sights set on all-star football game BY STEVE SMITH SSMITH@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Holiday shopping in Dallas, Texas. Chances are it has a nice ring for Riverdale Ridge football player RJ Holliday. The Ravens’ senior was among almost 300 players chosen for the BlueGrey All-American Bowl Monday, Dec. 20, at Dallas Cowboys’ AT&T Stadium. “I’m not sure about the whole nomination process,” Holliday said. “I was sent a letter from the Blue-Grey All-American Bowl national director,

Gus Bell, informing me I had been nominated ‘based on excellent football performance at the high-school level.’” That led to an evaluation on film and other sources as part of the selection process. Holliday is a two-time, all-conference selection, a three-time selection to the state’s academic allstate team and an honorable-mention all-league honoree. This season, Holliday caught 37 passes for 767 yards and 10 touchdowns. A few weeks later, he got the news. “I think it was after football practice when I came home. Mom and Dad told

me the news that I had been selected and gotten a formal invite in the mail,” Holliday said. “It is an honor to be selected for any of these experiences.” In nine games this season, Holliday racked up 21 solo tackles and 30 total tackles. He also intercepted four passes and had deflected eight passes. “I think it will be a great experience and opportunity to learn more about my craft at the CB position while playing under different coaches and with different teammates,” Holliday said. “It is always good to meet new people

and do new things. You can always learn things from other players to improve your game on the field. This is just another opportunity to do that for me.” Holliday is in the midst of the college football recruiting process. He recently took a tour of the campus at Lindenwood University in St. Charles, Mo., an NCAA Division II program. “I am excited for the opportunity and look forward to representing Riverdale Ridge and Colorado football,” Holliday said.

those three things, coaches will like you.” Time was when sports had clearly defined seasons. These days, teams practice all year, particularly in warmer climates and their games need officials. Cities have various levels of youth and adult leagues, and those require officials, too. In some cases, umpires can make $75 per game from municipal leagues. High-school umpires in Colorado don’t make that much. Some municipal officials make more than Garza makes as a teacher. “No school can match that,” Garza said. “We still have good officials. We just don’t have enough to cover the amount of organizations that have games outside of the normal seasons.” The next generation This spring, the head of the state’s soccer officials wanted to see more high-school players become officials. “I want to encourage high-school players to become referees so they understand the rules of the game,” CHSSO President Ken Hehr told CHSAA’s soccer committee in March. “If they take the course, that helps the referees on the field because the players aren’t yelling about something they don’t know about. It’s a great way to educate the studentathlete and help us out.” Weikle said it was a ‘fallacy” that someone needed to be a good athlete to be a good official. “I was a horrible baseball player,” said Weikle, who umpired state championship baseball games during his time with CHSAA. “We recruited guys at summer tournaments. Many are at the top levels of high-school ball. Two (Cory Blazer, a Pomona High School graduate, and Chris Guccione, who worked the World Series two years ago) are in the majors. They did their umpiring with me.” Laubert continued Hehr’s approach through Herd of Zebras. “We’ve got accountability,” Laubert said in April. “We’ve never had to cancel or postpone a game. We had a lot of issues about putting new guys into the fire. I didn’t receive one

complaint.” In some cases, younger, less experienced officials have been recruited as emergency varsity-level replacements. “I’ve got four kids at Mountain Range (Laubert is an assistant coach for the Mustangs’ football team). We gave them the training, and they did a phenomenal job,” Laubert said. “The coaches said they were the best refs they’d ever had. They can be a resource no one has tapped into. We’d like to find more kids like this. If you find the right high-school kid, he’ll impress you.” “But if you don’t do this (training and recruiting) year after year, they lose enthusiasm,” Weikle said. “You need a dedicated group to keep hammering away and to be there year in and year out.” Self-care needed Garza leaves his home for his teaching job at Riverdale Ridge at 6:45 in the morning when most of his family is asleep. If he’s officiating, he often won’t make it home until at least 8:30 p.m., when most of his family is asleep. “I love doing it. I coached basketball for years, and I missed it,” Garza said. “As a former athlete and coach, it’s fun to walk into a gym. The band is playing. It makes my blood boil. It makes me want to be the best officials on the court that I can be. “But understand. It messes with your mind. We need self-care. Stress levels can steer you in the wrong direction.” “Every person has a role to play to ensure the success of high-school sports,” Niehoff said. “We must work together to ensure the games continue to be available to the more than 8 million participants nationwide.” “The way an official handles himself … You see little of that (fan abuse of game officials) happening,” Garza said. In closing “I wanted to do a good job,” Weikle said. “I do it for the kids, yes. The kids are the beneficiaries of my work ethic. Guys my age (Weikle is 67)? No one is going to replace my generation when I retire.Guys who are in their 30s, 40s, 50s? There aren’t that many. It’s not going to be a problem in a year. In five years, it’s going to be a huge problem.”

Charting the 8th District BY JESSE PAUL THE COLORADO SUN

Colorado’s new 8th Congressional District, which stretches from the northern Denver suburbs along U.S. 85 into Greeley, could be the most competitive U.S. House district in the nation next year. The race to represent the 8th will likely draw national attention and millions of dollars as Democrats try to defend their slim majority in Congress and Republicans gear up for a big push to take back power. J. Miles Coleman, associate editor at Sabato’s Crystal Ball, a nonpartisan election prognosticator at the University of Virginia’s Center for Politics, said the 8th District is the only U.S. House district in Colorado that his organization rates as a tossup. “If this type of national environment persists (with President Joe Biden’s approval in the low 40s), it could be closer to `leans Republican,’” he said. Given the district’s national importance next year, we decided to take a deeper look at its electorate: A small share of active, registered voters The 8th District has the smallest share of active registered voters of any of Colorado’s congressional districts, at 428,307. Districts are drawn based on population, not registered voters, meaning that the 8th District has a large number of children or people not interested in getting involved in the

political process. There also may be people in the district who are ineligible to vote, such as those living in the U.S. unlawfully. By comparison, the Colorado district with the most voters is the 7th District, with 526,424 active registered voters. The 8th District has the largest percentage of Hispanic people of any of Colorado’s U.S. House districts at 39%. In terms of voter registration, 44% of the active registered voters in the 8th District are unaffiliated, 28% are Democrats and 25% are Republicans. “This is a more working-class part of the Denver metro,” Coleman said. “So I don’t think, longer term, it’ll rocket leftward, like (the 6th District) did last decade.” Alvina Vasquez, a Democratic political consultant, said the district is filled with a lot of families who have been pushed out of Denver as the cost of living in the capital has risen. Those voters are focused on kitchentable issues like jobs, the cost of housing and education. The oil and gas industry is a big issue in the district, both in terms of its environmental impacts and the number of people it employs. Tyler Sandberg, a Republican political strategist who has worked in the district, said the 8th District’s Democrats are different from Democrats in Denver and Boulder. They’re less progressive. “CD8 is the Dems’ worst nightmare because, yes, it’s a swing district, but it’s blue collar,” he said. “They

are not dyed-in-the-wool, limousine liberals.” Colorado Treasurer Dave Young, a Democrat who used to hold a competitive state House seat in Greeley that’s within the 8th District, said a moderate candidate will fare best in the district. “I don’t think extreme approaches are going to work — on either side of the aisle,” he said. Young is confident a Democrat can win. “I do think that is a very winnable race for Democrats,” he said. Past election results reveal a mixed bag An analysis by nonpartisan redistricting staff of the results of eight statewide races between 2016 and 2020 found that the 8th District leans 1.3 percentage points in Democrats’ favor. But a closer look at the results from those three election cycles reveals some interesting numbers. In 2016, voters in the district backed the reelection of U.S. Sen. Michael Bennet, a Democrat, by a margin of 2.3 percentage points, but they also voted for Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump by a margin of 1.7 percentage points. In 2018, voters in the 8th District backed Republican attorney general candidate George Brauchler by a margin of 1.7 percentage points but voted in favor of Democratic gubernatorial candidate Jared Polis by 1.9 percentage points and backed the Democrats running for treasurer and secretary of state by slightly wider margins. In 2020, the district backed Demo-

crat John Hickenlooper in the U.S. Senate race by a margin of 1.7 percentage points. Hickenlooper beat incumbent Republican U.S. Sen. Cory Gardner by 10 percentage points statewide. The bottom line is that 8th District voters appear to be fickle. Sandberg drew parallels between voters in the 8th District and voters in Pueblo, who in 2016 backed Trump but voted for Biden in 2020. “Culturally, it’s a very different battleground than Democrats have been operating in,” he said of the 8th. Vasquez thinks the Pueblo comparison is a fair one. But the 8th District has a population about seven times greater than Pueblo’s. “Obviously the population is a lot bigger so it’s going to be a lot more diverse than Pueblo,” she said. The takeaway for Coleman, who works at Sabato’s Crystal Ball, is that that district will remain competitive well into the future. “I can see this being a swing seat for several more cycles,” he said.

Population centers The district is spread across Adams, Weld and Larimer counties. Adams County has the largest share of the population in the district, at 456,000, followed by Weld at 248,000 and Larimer at 17,000. Thornton is the city with the largest population in the 8th District, at 141,000, followed by Greeley at 108,000. Then there’s Westminster, at 71,000, Commerce City, 62,000, Brighton, at 39,000, and Northglenn at 38,000.

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 ecretary s id in the or o a certi ed check or cashier’ s check made out to the Secretary of HUD. A deposit need not be 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.
