Plenty to say about Uplands After two days of testimony, Westminster continues project hearings

BY LUKE ZARZECKI LZARZECKI@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

With hours of public testimony from foes and backers of a proposed 235-acre development proposal to consider – on top of hours of recorded messages and pages of emails – Westminster City Councilors will take another day or two to consider the fate of the Uplands development.

Councilors heard from residents, planners, the developer and other interested folks during a special Wednesday session Dec. 15 before adjourning for the week. Westminster’s discussion on the proposed Uplands development was set to continue at 6 p.m. Monday, Dec. 20.

Whether councilors will vote remains uncertain, as Mayor McNally noted an executive session may take place after the Monday meeting and another special session has been scheduled for Dec. 21.

Councilors heard a presentation from the Uplands’ team, followed by questions from councilors and finished after midnight Dec. 13 with testimony from 15 residents. They picked the discussion up where they’d left off at the Dec. 15 meeting.

tinue work on the 235-acre project, designed to convert the large open space surrounding the church into Uplands, a massive mixed-use development, with housing options ranging from single-family homes to apartments and townhomes as well as parks and commercial areas. The project would take several years to complete, ultimately having room for 2,350 dwelling units in a mix of

housing types.

Outlining the work Question topics from councilors on the first day of testimony, Dec. 13, included public land dedication, traffic, water, parks, view corridors, how the developers will stick to their promises and more.

Colo. eyes tougher water-quality rules for South Platte, Clear Creek Advocacy groups demanded reversal of previous decision

BY MICHAEL BOOTH THE COLORADO SUN

The state Water Quality Control Commission has reversed itself and agreed to consider tougher

protections for urban streams, another sign of activists deploying recent environmental justice laws in safeguarding local water, land and air.

The commission on Dec. 13

unanimously accepted demands in a petition from a coalition of conservation and advocacy groups that they revisit staff recommendations rejected in 2020 that would have upgraded protections for the South Platte River and Clear Creek.

The upgrades rejected at a June

2020 commission meeting would have made it harder for industries and other water polluters to get effluent permits in stretches of heavily impacted urban waters that nevertheless show some signs of fish and wildlife recovery.

Northglenn councilors swear their oaths Northglenn swears in new council members, votes Willford as Pro Tem

BY LUKE ZARZECKI LZARZECKI@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Joyce Downing says farewell to her service on city council after three COURTESY DIANA WILSON decades.

Northglenn’s new city council members were sworn in on Dec. 13 at the city council meeting, and Joyce Downing said goodbye to the dias after three decades.

“I don’t know what I’m going to do without (Joyce) sitting next to me, even if you do have a crush on my husband,” said Councilor Becky Brown. “I’m thrilled and honored to have you in my life.”

Councilors spoke highly of Downing’s ability to listen, collaborate regionally and inclusivity.

Then, the Honorable Amanda Bailhache, Northglenn’s Municipal Judge, swore in new city council members.

Nicholas Walker of Ward 1, Jay Jaramillo of Ward 2, Julie Duran Mullica of

Ward 3, Shannon Lukeman-Hiromasa of Ward 4 and Jenny Willford of Ward 4 all took the oath.

Councilors also voted Councilor Willford for Mayor Pro tem.

Councilor Brown, a councilor for six years, decided not to run for the position because of health issues. She commented on Councilor Willford’s experience.

“I do find her to be one of the most knowledgeable people sitting on city council,” Brown said. “I’m very proud to sit here and say that I support Jenny Willford.”

Councilor Goff, Mullica and Jaramillo all expressed support for Willford as well.

Mayor Leighty, Councilor Walker and Lukeman-Hiromasa supported Councilor Witkovich.

Mayor Leighty said she wanted to mentor a new councilmember.

“Ashley has really stepped up in the last two years,” said the Mayor.

“I’ve been honored to serve as Mayor Pro Tem for the last two years, and I would be really excited about the opportunity to continue this role,” Councilor Willford said.

Thornton City Council voted unanimously to move forward with acquiring the Thornton Shopping Center through eminent domain on Dec. 14.

Eminent domain would give the property to the government with compensation.

The property has two major problems. First is the contamination of the soil and groundwater with perchloroethylene (PERC), a dry-cleaning chemical, of which the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment enforces the remediation. The second set of issues is structural and aesthetic ones with buildings, parking lots and sidewalks, which the city enforces through issuing municipal code violations.

Jay Brown, the current owner, purchased the property without knowledge of the environmental problems and he claims to lack the funds needed to clean up the mess.

Even with a court order directing Brown and his company to clean up the site, a stalemate remained.

Until now.

“This ordinance authorizes the Thornton Development Authority to exercise its power of eminent domain to acquire all or a portion of the Thornton Shopping Center property using a phased eminent domain approach,” said Tami Yellico, Thornton’s City Attorney.

Council voted for the site to be acquired through phases. The first phase would be the parcel of land that is not contaminated and the second phase would be the contaminated portion.

“Staff has been working closely with the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment to address liability issues associated

with this property,” said Yellico.

“This would authorize the Thornton Development Authority to proceed with eminent domain on the (noncontaminated parcel) while conducting additional due diligence efforts related to the contaminated portion of this parcel.”

Yellico said the advantage of proceeding with eminent domain is to speed up the process of developing the area. Drawbacks include waiting to see whether the current owner will clean up the property as ordered by the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment.

“It will be a lot longer if we don’t begin the process now,” Yellico said.

If the court grants the property to the city, the city can begin any work on the property within 90-120 days, Yellico said.

Phillips asked what would happen to the property in terms of development.

“The intent initially is to own the (non-contaminated parcel) and prep it for development, but what that development is going to be is T-B-D,” City Manager Kevin Woods said.

“The idea is to own everything so the council can be direct in exactly what they want and not want.”

Ward one Councilors Henson and Phillips both argued for acquiring the entire property through this ordinance because that is what their constituents wanted, they said.

“Ward one clearly wants all of Thornton Shopping Center, which is in our ward, to be eminent domained, however that motion failed,” Phillips said. “Supporting this motion is the next available thing to us knowing we cant’ get what we want.”

“We all know this is a blight on our city and we need to fix it and we need to be looking at every avenue and tool we have to accomplish that,” Councilor Marvin said.

said. “We are contractually obligated to allow that to happen.”

Dave Downing, the director of community development, said that there is no guarantee within the Official Development Plan now.

“Right now, the documents that are before you do not contain such a guarantee on affordable housing,” he said. “My recommendation would be that if you get to that point when you’re considering an action here, that you’ll want to make that condition of any action you take.”

Project Developer Jeff Handlin said most of the residences within the city are single-family homes and multi-family apartments and condominiums. What’s missing, Handlin says, is everything in between – including duplexes, single-family attached homes, townhomes and cottage homes.

The plan also contains about 300 units of income-restricted and affordable housing.

Handlin says these types of housing are ‘built by design’ to be affordable.

Public Land Dedication In Westminster City Code, each development requires either public land dedication of 12 acres for every 1,000 people or cash payments instead.

City officials said Uplands would meet that requirement with a combination of 40.65 acres of dedicated public land and $5-8 million

cash in lieu, followed by $2 million in park development fees.

Uplands noted many previously completed developments still do not have parks completed. Their combination of cash in lieu and land dedication, they hope, will help create those parks faster.

Curt Alstadt, the current farmer of the land detailed the challenges of modern-day farming. He told the council that he is in favor of the development.

“I farm the farm and have since I was seven,” he said. “With the increased pieces of farm equipment, fuel, labor and more, it has become very difficult to finance small farms.”

Karen Ray, a leader of the Save the Farm group, thinks that since the development fails to meet all 12 acres per 1,000 people, that it does not meet city code.

She also thinks the combination of cash in lieu and land dedication will not serve the community, which favors open space.

“In just this last election, the only tax item on the ballot that was approved was continuing the open space tax,” she said.

Testifying, day two The second day consisted purely of testimony, both in-person and from voicemails recorded earlier in the week. For the 30 in-person speakers on Wednesday, the viewpoints skewed in favor of Uplands and the development. The majority of over three hours of voicemail testimony skewed against the proposal.

Topics ran parallel with previous meetings: affordable housing,

water, education, traffic, climate change and more.

“If this proposal gets approved, (my family) have made the difficult decision that we will move,” said Elaine Adair, a six-year resident of Westminster.

“Will Westminster be defined by its beauty or the memory of it?” said Paloma Merida, a CU Boulder undergraduate student.

Tina Francone, a former Jefferson County Commissioner and an RTD former Board of Director, said she searched the proposal for flaws and reasons to deny it, but failed.

“This is a good project,” she said.

Bryan Dais, a real estate broker and a board member for Westminster’s Chamber of Commerce, raved about the project.

“It’s as good as it gets,” he said.

Harassment and Racism Three speakers voiced concerns of harassment from the Save the Farm group.

Bryan Head, a founding board member of Westminster’s Chamber of Commerce, said he received a threatening email.

“There are those who will demonize this development’s supporters, including those of you who vote to approve the project. In fact, after I spoke at the planning commission meeting a few weeks ago, a member of that group threatened to, and I quote, `make trouble for me’ if I continue to support this project,” he said.

Jackie Lombardi, a 24-year-old third-generation Coloradoan, had similar experiences.

“I came to speak in support of the Uplands project at the planning commission meeting and was basically verbally harassed by members of the audience and again in the parking lot by residents who said I shouldn’t be allowed to have an opinion on this,” she said.

She explained her great grandparents, her grandparents and her father all lived in Westminster, and she would continue the tradition if she could afford to live in the city.

She described her friends who are EMTs, nurses, firefighters and

service industry workers.

“You will not be hearing from these people tonight because they are working, they don’t have the privilege of waiting more than five hours to speak to you for three minutes about how they can’t afford their rent,” she said. “They will tell you to please build more housing.”

Eric Kornacki, the executive director of the Uplands Community Collective, voiced approval for the project, emphasizing his past.

“I’m not a developer and I’m certainly not pro-development, I’ve actually been on the opposite side of the table fighting developers more times than I can count,” he said.

He also talked about his experience working with working-class and minority groups for the Uplands project and mentioned they don’t feel safe coming to testify.

“At the planning commission meeting in November, a member of Save the Farm followed a woman to her car accusing her of being paid by the developer, physically intimidating and harassing her.

A Spanish-speaking community member you just heard from was confronted in the hallway after his testimony and was accused of falsely needing an interpreter and again accused of being paid,” he said.

He also mentioned how supporters of the project – including a planning commission member and Susan Daggett, a professor at the University of Denver who taught a seminar based on Uplands – have been trolled and their reputations ‘smeared online.’

As well, he talked about how Save the Farm has not met with Uplands, despite their Uplands invitations. He quoted Andy Bosselman from the Denver Post.

“Today, wealthy white homeowners have a disproportionate say in the city’s future, these neighborhood defenders use their influence to zealously preserve one of the KKK’s original tools of segregation, zoning bans all types of housing except single-family homes,” he said.

That led to cries from the development foes that they were not racist.

Meals on Wheels hunting for volunteers

BY SCOTT TAYLOR STAYLOR@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A shortage of volunteer drivers, needed to take meals to Adams County seniors, has The Senior Hub putting out the call for help.

“I feel that right now, we’ve had people out sick, and we’ve had a lot of people out of town for the holidays,” said Amanda Velasquez, program director of The Senior Hub’s Meals on Wheels in Adams County.

“There have been a number of reasons why people have not been here. We had one couple that scheduled some surgeries they had been holding out for.

So it’s been a little bit of this, a little bit of that.”

Velasquez said the program has routes open on Mondays and Fridays.

“Usually it’s okay if we have one or two routes open, but we have so many open now it’s more than we can fill,” she said. “We got quite a few volunteers in during the pandemic but lately, maybe people are going back to work. We’re just not getting the number of volunteers we’ve had.”

The program delivers food to seniors in much of Adams County, from Westminster to Commerce City.

“It goes from Sheridan Boulevard, as far north as 168th and down to 56th on the southern border,” she said. “And then we run to the edge of Commerce City.”

They operate 20 routes in the area per day, with drivers bringing food to between 15 and 20 people per route, and each route can take 90 minutes to two hours to to finish.

“They can stop and visit for a few minutes,” Velasquez said.

“I have people that just want to talk when I go to deliver and I usually spend a few minutes with them before I have to move on. The drivers are volunteers and they have a little more time than I would but have a four-hour window to get the food out. So that leaves a little bit of time to visit.”

Drivers pick up the food they are going to deliver at The Senior Hub office in Northglenn, at 10190 Bannock St. They need to pack up the food for their route and then deliver them.

Masks are required and drivers must be 18-years-old or older, have a valid driver’s license and pass a background check.

“They can’t have any problems with identity theft or abuse in their past that might put our seniors at risk,” she said.

County seeks name for Veterans memorial STAFF REPORT

With work on a new Adams County Veterans Memorial in progress, Adams County veterans are looking for a name for the park.

“Remembering our veterans and recognizing those who gave the ultimate sacrifice are why this memorial is being built,” Adams County Commissioner Chaz Tedesco said in a written statement. “Engaging our youth in this process ensures those sacrifices

aren’t forgotten.”

The memorial is being built in Adams County’s Riverdale Regional Park on the banks of the Mann-Nyholt Lake.

Work began in September and plans call for opening and dedicating the new memorial late summer 2022. When finished, the memorial will be a life-sized model of the USS Colorado battleship, with the bow jutting into the lake and the current trail passing through the site. It will be surrounded by trails,

memorial plaques and places to sit.

The Adams County Veterans Advisory Commission is hosting a naming contest for open to Adams County students 18 years old or younger.

“The memorial is just one of the many ambitious plans Adams County has for the Riverdale Regional Park,” said Interim County Manager Alisha Reis. “I’m excited we can involve the community in naming the memorial.”

VOICES A peek in Santa’s bag for politicos in 2021

I

t’s just a few days until Christmas, but I was finally able to sneak a peek at Santa’s gift list for elected officials and governments. For my CROSS steady readers, you CURRENTS know that I`ve published this list each year going back to 2001. Some might even consider it a “Christmas tradition.” Well, maybe not.

Let’s start at the top and work our Bill Christopher way down the list.

There is no surprise on Kris Kringle’s list for President Joe Biden. Given the ongoing challenge to round up sufficient votes in both the U.S. House and Senate on key parts of his legislative agenda, he plans to give the President sufficient Congressional legislators’ votes to pass these bills.

However, Mr. Kringle agrees that the Build Back Better funding

package still needs further trimming. The question is how much and which programs? Santa has a bit of a fiscal conservative leaning.

Also, the federal voting rights bill needs approval to overcome Draconian provisions hatched by red state legislatures like has happened in Georgia and Texas. Kringle likes to see “fair play.”

Next, we check on the list for Senate Minority Leader Mitch Mc Connell. The Jolly Ole Elf has had trouble locating him. It seems McConnell is always closeted in a closed smoke-filled back room hustling votes to torpedo proposals made by Senator Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.

The Big Elf plans to tell him that he has a few less locked-in votes in 2022. (They were given to the President).

Regarding Colorado Rep. Lauren Bobert, Santa Claus just shakes his head. He asks himself “what to do, what to do?” He thought about

a colorful Christmas cloth gag, but didn’t think it was in keeping with the Christmas spirit. Finally, he decided to give her a white elephant gift of having her return to her guntoting café in Rifle, Colorado next November. (Catch the drift?)

For Governor Jared Polis, the hefty round man in the whitetrimmed red suit is showing his serious side. The Honorable Polis is listed for a dose of tough love leadership. Specifically, he will receive and understand the importance of putting the people’s health first and not his own political campaign for re-election. Mr. Christmas says “straighten up and impose statewide mask and proof of vaccination limitations to enter any building.”

Let’s knock down those COVID cases ASAP. Adams County Commissioner Chaz Tedesco shows up on this year’s list. Santa knows that Commissioner Tedesco would like Santa’s endorsement for his campaign for the newly created 8th Congres-

sional District seat. However, being the wise political person he is, Santa hit the “pause button” to wait and see the full lineup of candidates for this prime seat. Who else is waiting to declare?

Thornton Mayor Jan Kulmann has joined the same race on “the other side of the aisle.” As a loyal Republican who is employed in the oil and gas industry, Saint Nicholas is busy talking to precinct captains to garner her votes in the primary election next year. Her background bodes well in Weld County.

For Westminster Mayor Nancy McNally, Father Christmas has listed her gift to be a collaborative spirit among the city council and for them to have patience and understanding to take one step at a time correcting the numerous problems the new council inherited. They all cannot be solved overnight. Enough l said!!

Isolation and loneliness carry health risks for older Americans

W

e’re heading into the holiday season, which is often embraced as a time to get together with friends and family to celebrate traditional holidays. However, what can be a joyous time for some, may be difficult for older adults who are more vulnerGUEST able to social isolaCOLUMN tion and loneliness. Particularly during the holiday season. In fact, a recent report showed that nearly one-fourth of adults aged 65 and older are socially isolated.

Todd Wisser Loneliness and social isolation are serious health risks, particularly to at-risk individuals, such as older adults. A substantial body of evidence demonstrates that social isolation presents a major risk for premature mortality, comparable to other risk factors such as high blood pressure, smoking or obesity. In addition, poor social relationships (characterized by social isolation or loneliness) were associated with a 29 percent increased risk of heart disease and a 32 percent increased risk of

stroke. Perhaps most concerning is the fact that a person’s risk of premature death from all causes is significantly increased by social isolation, a risk that may rival those of smoking, obesity and physical inactivity.

As a general demographic, seniors can be more at risk for social isolation and loneliness. There are many tell-tale signs that you or someone you know is at risk for experiencing loneliness or social isolation. Risk factors can include but are not limited to disability or lack of mobility, worsening vision or hearing problems, separation from friends or family, illness or death of a loved one and lack of access to transportation.

Luckily, there are steps we can take to help combat the loneliness epidemic. All humans need social connection and interaction as part of their survival. But often as adults age, they begin to spend more time alone making them more vulnerable to social isolation and loneliness. Engaging in activities that are meaningful can boost mood and give people a sense of purpose. In addition to living longer, research demonstrates that productive people seem to improve cognitive function and are better able to maintain their well-being.

Some tips for staying connected p include: • Learn something new – sign up for a class in your community •Reignite your passions with something you love — begin an old hobby • Explore volunteer opportunities with your local community that allow you to help others • Make sure you stay connected with your friends and family inperson or through phone calls, email, video chats or social media • Stay physically active and consider group exercise, such a walking club or working out with a friend • Find a faith-based or spiritual organization where you can engage with others in a meaningful way • If you are able, adopt a pet.

Animals can be a source of comfort and may also lower blood pressure and reduce stress.

By employing some of these tips, we can do our part to help combat loneliness and support the social and emotional needs of the older adults we care about this holiday season.

CHRISTOPHER numerous problems and issues, Father Christmas has to pause and rank order the highest priority Christmas gifts for the whole community. Certainly, water rates, water resources, too many apartment buildings, the future of the “New Downtown”, lack of trust, ineffective communications, a noticeable shortage of police officers and being between city managers are all on his mind.

However, first and foremost, Father Christmas has concluded that an educated and experienced city manager who is an effective communicator, leader, team player and enjoys being out among people is what Westminster should have.

There’s your Christmas wish!!

Papa Noel is working hard for Northglenn Mayor Meredith Leighty and the City Council on the design and construction cost for their new city hall. To Northglenn’s credit, they have been assertive in their civic center master plan which includes private development on currently owned city land.

The city hall is the third and final component of a total “redo” involving the municipal court, police station, recreation center, senior center and theatre. Papa Noel assures a dynamic package of private development on the prime land that has been carved out of the city owned land in question.

The pandemic has practically destroyed bus ridership across the RTD District. People are reluctant to be confined on a bus with strangers for their daily commute as well as the lack of employees going back to their brick and mortar offices.

Ridership on their rail passenger modes seem to be somewhat better.

The Big Elf (no, not the Grinch) has their gift a wish for healthier times with the COVID virus being much diminished and commuters back in their bus seats. Between a lack of drivers and paying customers, the RTD Board and General Manager Debra Johnson have their hands full while the metro area continues to sprawl needing expanded bus service.

Tri-County Health has served the needs of Adams, Arapahoe and Douglas Counties for decades. The organization has done yeoman service during the whole COVID virus outbreak and tried to avoid the politics in this crazy situation.

Being dropped by Douglas County Commissioners was not a political surprise with the whole mask issue and the Douglas County School District. It doesn’t make practical or

financial sense for the commissioners of Adams or Arapahoe counties to want to form their own respective county health departments like Douglas County is doing. Why create duplication and higher costs?

Mister Kringle jotted down their Christmas gifts with an eye of eliminating the politics and spite involved in operating a large public health agency. He especially believes that Adams County should work out a contract with Tri-County Health to continue to exist and serve the citizens of the county.

Why some people take ‘digital detoxes’ and what mental health experts have to say

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

F

or weeks, Jordan Novinger debated breaking up with Twitter.

In the span of a couple months, the Castle Rock resident had gained a following of several thousand. She spent hours talking with people online. Although she made new friends in the process, the 21-year-old also felt pressured to stay engaged.

At work, Novinger tried to resist a persistent temptation to check her accounts. Physically, Novinger was present, she said. Mentally, she was not. Her iPhone’s screen time report showed on some days Novinger spent up to four hours on Twitter.

In early December, Novinger cut the cord. She deleted Twitter. She took a break from Instagram too, which she steps away from periodically.

Since then, Novinger works more. She feels more productive. She is more inclined to pick up the phone and have a conversation with someone. She can’t leave Instagram permanently because she uses the site for work, but she hopes she’s made “a clean break” from Twitter.

“It was such an addiction,” she said.

Taking the plunge Several people in the Denver metro area who have taken short-term “digital detoxes” or left a platform forever all described social media with the same word: Toxic.

They offered up a laundry list of reasons why.

Screen addiction. Never feeling present. Rampant misinformation. Political fights. Hateful comment sections. The comparison game. Misleading highlight reels. The pressure to curate one’s life instead of simply live it.

Eventually, they all hit a breaking point.

The concept of undergoing a “digital detox” is increasing in popularity, according to a 2020 study published in the Journal of Technology in Behavioral Science that looked at the practice’s impact on well-being.

And while a whopping share of the population still uses social media — about 72% of all Americans do, according to the Pew Research Center — growth on numerous sites is slowing or stagnant.

The number of people on social media has remained relatively stable over the past five years, Pew’s Social Media Use in 2021 report says. Growth on platforms including Instagram, Twitter and Snapchat has remained statistically unchanged since 2019.

“This represents a broader trend that extends

beyond the past two years in which the rapid adoption of most of these sites and apps seen in the last decade has slowed,” Pew’s report states.

Reddit and YouTube are exceptions. Pew surveys found YouTube is the nation’s most-used social media platform and has shown a marked increase in growth since 2019. Facebook and Instagram are the next most popular sites.

Pew’s study acknowledges “a string of controversies” facing social media sites — like their management of misinformation or privacy concerns — and “the public’s relatively negative sentiments” about some parts of social media.

Pew surveying found 64% of American believe social media has “a mostly negative effect on the way things are going in the country today.”

At least one mental health expert said while much other public scrutiny rightfully focuses on social media’s effects for young people, she’d like to see more research and attention on its ramifications across age demographics.

“It’s not just about kids,” Diane Thompson said, a psychiatrist with Centura Health.

The individuals who spoke to Colorado Community Media about departing social media ranged in age from 21 to 37. All said they were glad they left. Each emphatically encouraged others to give it a try.

“I would love for people to get off of social media. I think it’s just draining, and it can be so negative and toxic,” Novinger said. “While it can be good, I think most of the it’s not used for good.”

Taking the plunge Evergreen couple Jace and Taylor Jackson, both 30, recently completed a six-week detox from Instagram and have significantly scaled back their use of other platforms.

“I am shocked by how I have really broken the addictive, gotta click the button and check it,” Taylor said.

Social media became a routine part of their lives after their introduction to Myspace as high school and college students. In time, they joined several platforms. Jace said he’s known for a while that social media had become “a toxic presence in my life.”

“I want to rule social media. I don’t want it to rule me, and I think as soon as it crosses that line, I need to take matters into my own hands,” Jace said.

A book called The Comfort Crisis about inspired him to reconnect with the real world.

Jace and Taylor, avid outdoors explorers, also noticed they felt better after backpacking trips during which they rarely checked their phones.

So the duo made a plan to stay off Instagram for a month. Then they enjoyed leaving so much they extended the break another two weeks.

During that time, the couple crushed books, Jace said. They bought “an old-fashioned alarm clock” and charged their phones in the kitchen instead of their bedroom, avoiding the urge to scroll at night. The Jacksons slept better, they found. By day, Taylor stopped filling every free moment with a screen.

Another habit they broke by detoxing — incessantly taking photos. The couple recently got dressed up and attended a holiday party without taking a single picture, they said. Taylor’s main SEE BREAK UP, P11

goal during her detox was to be more present.

She also doesn’t like the comparison game people can get trapped in on social media, particularly when feeds are often carefully curated highlight reels of someone’s life, she said.

“I think creating your own reel can steal the joy of what you’re trying to capture,” Taylor said. “You’re constantly trying to frame your life in a certain way.”

She’s not alone in that thinking. Comparing her life to virtual realities drove Alex Williams, 23, to leave Instagram as well, although she hopes it’s a permanent move for her.

Williams deleted the app after graduating high school. She went from checking it daily, then weekly, to about once a month before ditching the site altogether. Williams needed to protect her wellbeing, she said.

“The hardest thing for my mental health was all of the diet culture that’s pushed, especially on Instagram,” she said. “It just painted such a fake version of reality that I figured out, first of all, I could never achieve, and second of all, never wanted to.”

After leaving the platform, the negative feelings she experienced when using Instagram completely evaporated, she said.

She checks Reddit every so often and finds dog videos on TikTok amusing. Most of her social media consumption has shifted to YouTube. She listens to podcasts or watches cooking videos.

Williams prefers that content because recipes are something she can recreate in her other free time, and cooking makes her happy.

She considers returning to Instagram every few months. Williams could try setting up healthy boundaries for herself, she said, but she hasn’t caved yet.

“I don’t see myself doing it,” she said.

Jeremy Myles said he too is done with one site forever. Myles set up his Facebook profile in 2009. Ten years later, he was done.

The 37-year-old got rid of Facebook partly out of concerns with data privacy, but also because of “the toxicity” and “how much hate was being spewed online.” Time after time, he said, he

became frustrated seeing Facebook friends share misinformation, or watching loved ones get into online political squabbles.

If he joined the spats, Myles never felt better.

“Every one of those arguments was with somebody who I loved or respected,” he said. “I didn’t want to contribute to it anymore.”

Myles said he also noticed some of his friends and family, many in the Boomer generation, routinely got sucked into comment sections. Over time they seemed to grow generally angrier and more frustrated people.

“It’s sad to watch,” he said.

He encourages his parents to avoid the comments, where “people can be so hateful and angry,” he said. If he wants to hold a serious conversation with someone in his life, he tries to do that in-person, rather than from behind a keyboard.

He keeps ups with news on Twitter and is more inclined to engage on that platform but aims to do so sparingly, he said. In the future, Myles might consider using Facebook for business purposes.

“I am absolutely from a personal perspective not going to return to Facebook,” he said.

Expert insight Mental health and media professionals said there is limited research available about psychological benefits of leaving social media.

The study that examined digital detoxes’ effect on wellness said while commentators have advocated for social media breaks, “little work has examined the effectiveness of taking time off of social media.”

The study did not find a measurable positive effect on wellbeing from digital detoxing, it said, but acknowledged limitations around its data.

The experiment comprised three field groups — 248 people in the U.K., 199 in the U.S. and 203 in the Hong Kong. Some spent one day abstaining from social media while a subgroup participated for two days, comparing a social-media free day to a day of normal use.

They then rated their satisfaction with their day, the feeling of social

connectedness, and its positive and negative effects on them. People reported feeling less connection or relatedness while staying off social media, the study said, and no difference in their well-being by abstaining from their socials.

The study recruited a smaller number of participants than it wanted and could not say confidently people were truthful about whether they stayed off platforms.

About half of people said it was difficult to give up social media for the day. That was in fact one reason for the shortness of the study.

“The time scope of these experiments was necessarily narrow as we were concerned about participant compliance and retention. The shortterm effects observed in our studies might not generalize to longer periods of social media abstinence,” the study states.

Despite the slowdown, social media use did climb some during the pandemic, Lynn Schofield Clark said. Clark chairs the University of Denver’s department of media, film and journalism studies.

That was likely for pragmatic reasons, she said, like work-related tasks and the need to stay connected.

“I think that the urge to take time away from social media has to be understood in relation to the generalized feeling of exhaustion we all have due to heightened stress,” Clark said.

People use social media to keep up with those who matter to them, “and connection is protective against mental stress and mental illness,” Clark said.

In addition to pointing to the study published in the Journal of Technology in Behavioral Science, Clark added that some people are leaving social media — namely Facebook and Instagram — for reasons other than wellness. That might be their desire for heightened regulations or concerns with privacy violations.

“It’s too early to see whether or not this is a trend that will have an effect on these and other companies, but Jack Dorsey’s departure from Twitter is interesting in this regard,” Clark said.

Thompson, the Centura Health psychiatrist, said social media isn’t all bad if people can master limiting their exposure to toxic content or people and maximize how it makes them feel connected.

“There are times where social media can be a great way to connect,” Thompson said.

She’s still an advocate for breaking away from social media when needed. Thompson has said her clients sometimes come in overwhelmed by comments they receive or see on social media.

Occasionally, she has written a prescription for her client to stay off whatever platform is bothering them. She says it works.

“There is a discernable difference between the last time I saw them and how they were feeling,” she said.

Social media addictions or too much screen time can be taxing on mental health — the content people absorb might be depressing, or spur anxiety and irritability — but it also impacts physical health, Thompson said.

Hours spent on a person’s phone could be spent talking a walk, exercising or being physically active.

She suspects people are turning to social media to destress while weathering the tumultuous climate of 2020 and 2021. She urged people to have compassion for themselves while they cope, but to also take a hard look at whether the content they consume on social media is actually helping them unwind or further fostering anxiety.

Kendra Miguez founded a therapy center for women focused on helping them build self-esteem and improve their mental health. Their five locations include Denver and Broomfield.

“We deal with issues all the time with social media, and a lot of some of the unhealthier aspects of it and how it affects mental health and self-

esteem,” she said. “Particularly with the millennial generation and the generation in the teens coming up.”

The average person spends two hours a day on social media, she said, and that’s not counting other time spent on the internet. Taking a detox or slowing down social media use makes room for “healthier, more productive activities.”

The platforms can perpetuate unattainable body images or glamorous lifestyles “that can make people feel as if their lives are less worthy.”

“Another con is that it’s very addictive. It definitely can light up the same parts of the brain that get lighted with an addictive substance,” she said. “There’s an intense stimulation for the reward system.”

It doesn’t always matter whether a person’s engagement on social media is positive or negative, she said.

Addiction can creep in either way.

“We start to chase the dopamine and you’ll get the dopamine rush when you get a like, and there’s even more when you get a comment,” she said.

Miguez echoed Thompson — social media does have its benefits. The platforms can be integral to people’s professional lives and help them stay connected with distant friends, like old high school classmates.

Miguez’s advice is to develop selfawareness. She encourages people to be mindful of how social media makes them feel. That includes taking note of how whether relationships or interactions with people online are genuine or superficial.

“We’re not really getting our needs met, even though it might feel that way. It’s an illusion. We’re running from our loneliness,” she said.

Interest in martial arts takes Brighton resident to pro ranks

BY STEVE SMITH SSMITH@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

It doesn’t matter where Danthony Muniz lands, whether it’s his home in Brighton or the 303 Training Center, in Westminster. He’s had an interest in martial arts for a long time and turned that into a professional contract.

“My first pro match was Oct. 30,” he said. “I was able to put on very dominant performances.

I took both matches over submission with an armbar and a bow-and-arrow choke. The feeling I had after I won the finals was so immaculate I really can`t put it into words.”

Besides martial arts, Muniz is a fan of the Ultimate Fighting Championship.

“I was always very interested in martial arts I would always watch the UFC and I wanted to pursue something of that nature,” he said. “So, I walked into a local Jiu Jitsu gym that goes by the name of Frontline Wrestling and Jiu-Jitsu.

That was about six years ago. Muniz is 20.

“The main reason I wanted to go pro is because I want to have the

chance to take care of my family, and I also want to make a living off doing something that I am passionate about,” he said.

“Since I began Jiu-Jitsu, I have seen a lot of growth, and I have also come to see you can achieve anything you put your mind to.”

Part of that growth is “a ton of self-confidence” through martial arts.

“I have unlocked a whole new side to me, and it feels amazing,” he said. “I can truly say that doing martial arts has kept my head on straight and has saved me from a lot of things.”

Aside from more pro fights, Muniz is keeping an eye on a couple of things.

“I plan to keep pushing toward my dreams and, hopefully, secure some local sponsorships that I can have represent me and I could do the same for them,” Muniz said.

“I switched over to 303 Training Center about a year ago. Since then, I have achieved a purple belt. I have completely changed my game, and I got a whole new mindset -- a very focused and eager mindset to reach some big goals.”

Ravens turn inward to right early season ship

BY STEVE SMITH SSMITH@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

It’s early in the boys basketball season. But Riverdale Ridge’s team may have hit a turning point on two fronts.

One was an overtime win against Prairie View earlier this month.

One reason for the overtime win may rest with a couple of veteran players, RJ Holliday and Ryan Leopold.

Leopold is in his third year on the varsity team. He’s averaging 16 points a game through the first five contests. RRHS won three of its first five games.

“We wanted to take some responsibility,” Leopold said. “We want to help accomplish what we can accomplish.”

Aside from Holliday, there are just two other seniors – Lane Hawkins and Anthony Chavez – on the squad this year.

“The seniors can help everyone be prepared,” said Holliday, who’s averaging three points, three rebounds, two assists and a steal per game through the first five outings. “It’s what we have to do. It’s a given. It’s automatic that you have that trait in you.”

Coach Byron Gray said he’s

looked at the way some college teams – he cited Duke and the University of Colorado – grow internally.

“They are good teams, and they have players who look at themselves as leaders,” Gray said.

“They take it up amongst themselves. If they can’t work it out, then I get involved.”

To Leopold, being a leader “comes easy.”

“I want everyone to look at me as a leader,” Leopold said. “I want to lead by example. I’m a player who leads by example.”

Holliday doesn’t mind that spot either.

“I love it,” he said. “It’s the heart of the team, and I want to help everybody. It’s a brotherhood. We talk through everything. It’s more of a family.”

“Everyone understands that we’re trying to make this better.

We’re not doing it to be mean,” Leopold said. “Everyone wants to be the best we can.”

Both Leopold and Holliday agreed it was helpful for teammates to hear suggestions from different sources.

“People respond better when they hear a different voice,” Holliday said.

“It’s not the same person telling you the same thing,” Leopold said.

“It helps.”

Gray expected his team to be playing better earlier in the season. But he also knew COVID and other related issues would get in the way.

“A lot of these guys have never seen big crowds. The game against Skyview (a 56-51 win) and the one against Prairie View (a 64-59 overtime win)? Those crowds were massive,” Gray said. “I’m pleased where we are. We had kind of an easy summer, and we came into this year expecting things to be easier. That’s not realistic. They realize this is going to push us to where we need to be.”

The Ravens return to action at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 4, at Platte Valley.

“We were shaky,” Leopold said.

“We fixed things, and we feel better.

After that overtime win, we made good strides. We were fed up playing close games against bad teams.

We needed to make a change.”

“We want to be dominant,” said Holliday, who transferred to RRHS from Bishop Machebeuf. “We hear it every day, people telling us to be better players. We finally started to believe in each other.”

SPORTS BRIEFS Football Thornton’s Miles Poole was selected to play in the Colorado High School Coaches Association all-state game next spring in Pueblo.

He also earned player of the year honors in the I-25 League this fall as well as first-team, all-conference accolades.

Others on the first team were Isacc Gomez and Leo Uribe.

Alfred Castillo and Abas Aziz were second-team choices, and Isaiah Reece, Caleb Gutierrez, Xavier Rodriguez, Alex Garcia DeBaca and Armando Morga earned honorable-mention recognition.

Basketball Horizon High School’s boys and girls basketball teams debut their holiday hoops camps for boys and girls in third through seventh grades.

Sessions run Tuesday and Wednesday, Dec. 28 and 29, from 9 a.m. to noon at the school, 5321 E. 136th Ave. This camp will include games, prizes, skill improvement drills and interaction with our varsity-level basketball players. Visit https://bit. ly/3IRATdo

Malecha gives up mountains for the beach Legacy senior heads west for Monterey Peninsula College

BY STEVE SMITH SSMITH?@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

BROOMFIELD – Legacy High School baseball player Peyton Malecha is giving up one natural resource for another as he moves on in his career.

He announced his commitment to Monterey Peninsula College in California.

“I chose Monterey because of head coach Daniel Phillips,” Malecha said. “He is a great guy and has a passion for the game. Their facilities and field are unreal, and they take care of them.”

One other draw? His ability to play more than one position.

“They really liked me being a two-way player there, so that had a lot of impact,” Malecha said, “because I would have the ability to play infield and pitch.”

About the new area?

“Monterey is one of the most beautiful places in the nation,” Malecha said. “I always wanted to go somewhere cool and, at Monterey, I felt at home and love the beach town. I took a visit and met with the coaches there and knew it would be a great fit.”

Distance from home played a factor.

“I knew going far away from home would be rough, but it’s all part of the process that most kids take,” he said. “It’s a big step in life for sure, but seeing a new place and living pretty much on the beach doesn’t sound too bad.”

Malecha called pandemic recruiting “a little weird.”

“There were Zoom calls with schools, and planning for visits was a little confusing because of the pandemic, but it was just another thing we all had to deal

with,” Malecha said. “It’s a fun process for sure.”

Malecha drive in three runs and four hits for a team that went 13-7 last season. He wants to study sports broadcasting and communications with the goal of being an analyst for a sports team.

“My sister is doing the same thing, so it would be cool to follow what she did,” Malecha said.

Malecha is excited about what lies ahead, both for this spring’s season and for the next school year.

“It (choosing a college) definitely takes a little weight off your shoulders going into the spring season because I know that I have a place where I am going to happy,” he said. “I am very excited to be going to MPC because of the program.

It’s a new opportunity in life that not many others get to have, and I am very grateful for the position I am in today.”

WATER FROM PAGE 1

That 2020 decision, and a commissioner’s statement that higher protections were reserved for “pristine mountain waters,” infuriated a coalition of dozens of conservation groups and local governments, from Colorado GreenLatinos to Trout Unlimited to Denver City Council members.

They wrote to Gov. Jared Polis ahead of the Dec. 13 meeting arguing that the statewide commission was “prioritizing industrial profits over the safety and well being of residents who have been historically disproportionately affected by pollution.”

Commission staff told the advocacy groups it was the first time in their knowledge of the commission’s history that petitioners had successfully forced such a reversal. The commission staff will now set a schedule for formal reconsideration of the decision in 2022.

“This is a first for impacted environmental communities,” Colorado GreenLatinos director Ean Tafoya said. He called it “a huge step forward for our community,” and encouragement to community groups to “use every tool available in our collective pursuit for environmental liberation.”

Conservation Colorado water advocate Josh Kuhn said the decision confirms that “no river is beyond repair, and state policy

should support that fact.

“Revisiting a bad decision that allowed industry to pollute our rivers is the right choice for our waterways and our communities — especially in North Denver where residents have been harmed by pollution for too long,” Kuhn said. “We urge the commission to listen to their own experts and improve protections for Clear Creek and the South Platte River.”

Colorado’s director of environmental health and protection, Shaun McGrath, invoked the justice directives of House Bill 1266 passed earlier this year when recommending the commissioners accept the petition and revisit their 2020 decision.

“The department has really learned a lot about how to more properly engage environmental justice issues and to ensure that disproportionately impacted communities are considered when we’re proposing or considering rules and policies,” McGrath said.

Commissioner Jennifer Bock said it was important for the group to consider the “strong reaction” from community groups and conservationists over the past year and a half. “It is probably not fun to go back and look at these issues again, but I think it’s our responsibility,” she said.

The reversal is the latest in a series of moves by advocacy groups to cite recent state legislation mandating environmental justice considerations when seeking specific change. And regulators respond that they

have studied and feel compelled by the same legislation.

In November, a coalition of advocacy groups pushed the Air Quality Control Commission to toughen their update of an EPArequired regional haze plan that can force cuts to industrial emissions for cleaner air in national parks and other wilderness sites.

State staff had recommended the commission stay on a pre-set schedule of pollution cuts without adding a new layer of haze regulations.

But the conservation groups pointed to justice legislation in demanding more cuts for the Suncor refinery in Commerce City, which neighbors in north Denver say has long subjected their communities to health problems. The air commissioners agreed, and put more restrictions on Suncor.

Justice and cultural concerns are also coming into play for Xcel Energy’s plans to crisscross portions of Colorado with much-needed new transmission lines. Many advocacy groups want the transmission lines in order to link together clean energy farms and provide reliable energy, but the planned routes may also interfere with valuable cultural sites and other environmentally sensitive areas.

In the urban water decisions, the water quality commission made two choices in 2020 that launched an 18-month effort at reversal by the environmental and advocacy coalition.

The division staff and many outside government agencies

and neighborhood groups wanted stronger protections for the much-maligned streams of Clear Creek, passing the Molson Coors beverage plant, and the South Platte River as it flows out of north Denver and through Commerce City.

Advocates for the rivers said plant life and wildlife could make a comeback, and any industrial discharges into the water should face stiffer review.

Industrial users filed briefs arguing that the streams had little environmental value remaining and that they shouldn’t suffer regulation that would restrict their business.

Some commissioners on Monday said a debate over reversing their 2020 decisions on Clear Creek and the South Platte should be part of a larger discussion on the so-called “antidegradation” rules affecting many stream segments. In the end, though, the commissioners decided unanimously to take on the petition’s demands as soon as possible in 2022.

“Communities have expressed their concern and desire to revisit these issues, and I think that they are ripe for discussion,” Bock said.
