Donors send more than $12 million to fire victims Community Foundation Boulder County is creating an advisory committee

BY OLIVIA PRENTZEL THE COLORADO SUN

More than 43,000 people have donated more than $12 million to the Boulder County Wildfire Fund to help those affected by the Marshall Fire, officials said on Jan. 4.

Community Foundation Boulder County will begin to distribute up

to $5 million in direct financial assistance to those whose homes were destroyed or damaged, Tatiana Hernandez, the foundation’s CEO said during a news conference Tuesday afternoon.

Up to $500,000 will be available to residents who were forced to flee, but did not lose their homes.

The foundation is creating an advisory committee, including representatives from Superior and Louisville, that will make recommendations as to how the funds will be used, Hernandez said. The committee should be finalized by Friday.

“We recognize there are immediate, short- and long-term needs of an event of this magnitude,” Hernandez said.

People can apply for financial aid from the foundation and other sources at the disaster assistance center, at 1755 S. Public Road in Lafayette, between 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. daily. At the center, residents can also find help with housing and obtaining vital records, food, COVID-19 tests and transportation.

So far, more than 600 Boulder County residents have signed up SEE FIRE, P6

Fears that the fires that decimated portions of Boulder County Dec. 30 would spread forced Westminster homeowners to evacuate briefly.

Meadow View, a western Westminster neighborhood, was issued evacuation orders during the Marshall Fire on Dec. 30, 2021.

The 19 home neighborhood, located off of West 107th Avenue and Countryside Drive, received evacuation orders from the Boulder County Office of Emergency Management.

In tandem, Westminster Police and Fire Dispatch sent a Code Red alert for the affected Westminster residents.

The disaster comes as a rare occurrence for Westminster and the affected communities, according to Westminster officials. A multitude of factors contributed to the fire, according to Andy Le, a spokesperson for the City of Westminster like drought and strong winds.

“We encourage residents to prioritize the safety of their families during such events. We also strongly encourage residents to sign up for Code Red alerts so they can receive the latest information from our public safety agencies. These alerts provide critical safety information during emergency events,” Le said.

According to the Colorado Sun, the Marshall Fire serves as Colorado’s most destructive fire in the state’s history, in terms of homes and businesses destroyed. Boulder County authorities on Saturday released a SEE WESTMINSTER, P7

Former Northglenn mayor Odell Barry dies

BY LUKE ZARZECKI LZARZECKI@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Former Northglenn Mayor Odell Barry died Jan. 2 at the age of 80 due to congestive heart disease.

Odell served Northglenn in a multitude of capacities, including owning Colorado’s first full-service Dairy Queen, representing Ward 2 for eight years on the city council and as mayor for two years from 1980 to 1982. He stands as Northglenn’s first black mayor.

“Mayor Barry will be remembered in part for his leadership in establishing a master plan for our city, building a City Hall and community center and supporting an $80 million water project,” said Mayor Meredith Leighty.

Born in Memphis, Tenn. in 1941, Barry grew up in Toledo, Ohio. The Denver Broncos drafted him out of the University of Findlay in the 19th round of the 1964 American Football League Draft.

Odell played for two seasons in 26 games as a return specialist, with 2,215 total return yards. As a rookie, he led the National Football League in kickoff returns and return yards.

Odell started off as Northglenn’s recreation director and began his work with the city, making his mark on the local sports community.

Football wasn’t the only sport where he left his mark. He served on the Colorado Baseball Commission in the early 1990s and helped create

Municipal League interested in Thornton term limits

BY LUKE ZARZECKI LZARZECKI@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The Colorado Municipal League is considering filing an amicus brief regarding Thornton’s appeal in their term limits case, according to the group’s executive director.

“It’s possible that could happen here, but (it’s) still pretty early in the process,” said Kevin Boomer, the executive director of the Colorado Municipal League.

An amicus brief is meant to assist a judge in the decision of a case, said Boomer. It is to inform the judicial process with perspectives and

often cites prior case law. It also, he said, advocates for an outcome.

“If the Court of Appeals was to be making a decision interpreting constitutional language related to, for the first time ever, the impact of the Constitutional language on municipal term limits, then it’s one of the potential bread and butter issues for the league to weigh in as to what the impacts would be on,” he said.

Thornton City Council voted 5-4 on Dec. 14 to appeal the decision made by the judge, which sends the case to the Court of Appeals.

One of those voters was Mayor Pro Tem Jessica Sandgren, who also

is the Secretary-Treasurer of the Colorado Municipal League.

“The court ruled in favor of the plaintiffs, indicating that the court believed the mayor’s seat and the councils’ seats are part of one elected body and constitute the same office for purposes of term limits under the Colorado Constitution,” Tami Yellico, Thornton’s city attorney said.

The court’s decision comes a bit in favor of both sides. Since Kulmann did not finish her full term as a city councilor, the judge granted her to serve as mayor until 2023. However, that will be her final year.

The suit alleged that it was illegal for Kulmann to seek reelection, and the city argued council positions and the mayor position are different. However, the court ruled they are not.

Denver-based attorney Robert McGuirey filed the complaint in Adams County district court on behalf of plaintiff Cherish Salazar. When she filed the suit, Salazar said the issue is something she has spoken up about for two years now. It specifically names Kulmann but includes the entire city council and the city.

“Before her (Kulmann’s) name went on the ballot, I tried to present my argument at that point,” Salazar said, referring to the 2019 election when voters elected Kulmann as mayor.

Ward 4 voters first elected Kulmann to a four-year councilor term in 2013. She won a re-election bid in

2017 and then ran for mayor in 2019 and won.

Same or different According to that interpretation of the Colorado Constitution and the Thornton City Charter, the complaint argues that a councilor and the mayor are legally one and the same, pertaining to term limits.

“All nine seats on the Thornton City Council (mayor plus the eight Ward council members) constitute a single `office,’” the suit states.

Right now, the decision made by the court only affects the parties involved with the case. However, a Court of Appeals or a Colorado Supreme Court decision can affect Colorado as a whole.

“It has no implications right now beyond the city of Thornton,” Boomer said. “That doesn’t mean that if a similar lawsuit was brought in a different jurisdiction, certainly attorneys might use the decision as an argument that it should be decided the same way there but it doesn’t automatically guarantee it, whereas, when you have a court of appeals or certainly a Supreme Court decision where it carries statewide implications, it’s the general judicial principles are to look at precedents, especially when they’re statewide and potentially apply them.”

The brief, Boomer said, would be to inform the justice on the potential effects and ramifications the case would have on municipalities.

TASHCO wants theater, but funding inhibits progress

BY LUKE ZARZECKI LZARZECKI@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Thornton’s Ward One City Councilor Kathy Henson wants a new performing arts center for the city.

An artist herself, she thinks it’s the perfect time.

“I really think that the time is right for us to really explore that, as a city with our rapid growth and our continued anticipated growth,” she said at Thornton’s Planning Session meeting on Jan. 4.

Lauren Turner, the president of the Thornton Arts, Sciences and Humanities Council (TASHCO) board, is also interested in pursuing the idea further.

“I would, and I think most of the Board would be really happy with pursuing that if that seemed like something that was feasible for our city, I think it could really be a great thing for Thornton,” said Turner.

Discussion around a new performing arts center in Thornton is not new. Mary Welsch, a past president of TASHCO, said the talk began in 2000.

Prior to 2019, it remained a priority.

Consultants Barker Rinker Seacat Architecture and the City of Thornton completed one study in 2018 and a Victus Advisors completed another in 2019.

Even so, the discussion ended in 2019 with the new city manager, Kevin Woods. Welsch said budgetary issues put the kibosh on the project moving forward and Todd Barnes, a spokesperson for the City of Thornton, echoed that sentiment.

Alisa Zimmerman, the Arts and Culture Manager for Thornton, said COVID played a role in deprioritizing the theater, as well.

“COVID hit in March 2020 and, in terms of it being a priority, (this) went to the bottom of the list,” she said. “It’s certainly out there as a potential proj-

ect, but I think there are other priorities the city has, as a result Covid that have taken precedence.”

Welsch said she thinks a new performing arts theater is not on the radar for the City or the current council now.

“It’s just not a priority for these folks, and not for the staff either,” she said.

During the planning session meeting, Mayor Kulmann asked Henson to bring the issue to the strategic planning session to discuss with the entire council in April.

Money Talks Much time and money has been put into the project. According to Barnes, the Barker Rinker Seacat Architecture study cost $8,195.59 and the Victus Advisors study cost $43,450.

The TASHCO board began researching and receiving input from community members and planned to hold community meetings in the summer of 2019, according to Roberta Ayala, Vice-President of TASHCO. They printed fliers and used some of the TASHCO budget to inform the community.

“We put all (the fliers) out and then at the last second, the city manager (Kevin Woods) told us ‘nevermind, we’re not doing that,’” Ayala said Zimmerman said the studies determined cost ranges for three different size theaters.

For a 1,000-2,000 seat theater, cost rests at $50-70 million, with an operating cost at $1-1.5 million. Similar theaters would be the Lincoln Center in Fort Collins, and the union colony center in Greeley.

For a 400-500 seat theater, the building cost would be $35-45 million and operating cost would be $1-2 million.

A comparison would be the Lone Tree Art Center.

A 200 seat black box theater would be $5-10 million with an operating cost less than half a million dollars.

The Arts Hub in Lafayette would be similar.

At the same time, a theater would bring in commerce, Ayala said.

“Stuff is expensive, I get it, but if you look at neighboring cities like Northglenn, they put money into parks, and they put money into their new theater and it does help build those businesses around there,” she said.

In comparison, the Trail Winds Recreation Center in ward one cost about $45 million for design and construction, and in 2021 ran on an operating cost of $1,775,552 from Parks and Open Space tax revenues.

Zimmerman said the money for a new theater and a recreation center is like comparing apples and oranges, because they have different methods of funding.

South Thornton From the reports, south Thornton proved a preferred spot to place the theater.

The first report listed four out of the five spots suitable for the center and all were in South Thornton. One of the sites has been deleted from the report.

Ayala thinks South Thornton’s diversity would benefit the potential theater. She said she heard rumors about developer’s building it in the northern part of Thornton.

“The idea behind South Thornton too, is that culturally, it’s predominantly Latino, and a diverse community would enrich a performing arts complex,” she said. “Putting it in a homogenized development just seems like it would be counterintuitive to what a robust arts center would really benefit from right,” she said.

The four spots include Grant St. by Brittany Hill, Colorado and Riverdale Rd., Community Center Park and the Shopping Center 88th and Wash.

“Site #5 at 88th Ave and Washington St. was evaluated as the most promising site due to it’s location in an established commercial area of the City with good transportation access, restaurant adjacency, proximate utilities, and little site preparation costs,” the report says.

The Thornton Shopping Center (TSC) 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.

Thornton City Council voted unanimously to move forward with acquiring the Thornton Shopping Center through eminent domain on Dec. 14, which would put the property in the city’s hands, both the contaminated and uncontaminated portions.

But Henson said community members have other goals for the land. Henson said she prefers the Brittany Hill location for the theater.

“We want TSC to be a mixed use development with gathering spaces for the community, retail and some residential,” she said.

Whether a new theater is in Thornton’s future remains unknown. Ayala warns against rumors permitting a developer to complete the project. “(A developer) could promise all kinds of things, but it doesn’t mean it’s going to be good for our community.

They just want to build here and make money,” she said.

more about these vulnerable invertebrates and how to help protect them.

The Common Green Birdwing (Ornithoptera priamus) is among the largest butterflies in the world, with an astonishing wingspan of up to one foot in length. They are found in the tropics of Southeast Asia and Australasia - and now are featured in Butterfly Pavilion’s conservatory, allowing guests a rare experience to observe them up-close in glorious flight.

“These butterflies will have been in their chrysalis form for nearly a month, so when they emerge and are released into our conservatory it is an exciting and wondrous sight for returning and new visitors to witness,” says Shiran Hershcovich, Lepidopterist Manager at Butterfly Pavilion said in a written statement.

“The event is both engaging and educational providing an opportunity to see these butterflies up close while learning more about them and their need for protection.”

The species features bright colors that serve as a visible warning to predators of their toxicity. However, the large size and bright coloration make them a regular target of their most feared predator of all - human

poachers. People are drawn to their rarity and their stunning colors, making them highly sought after as part of the illegal trade industry.

All species of birdwing butterflies are protected under CITES, an international agreement that aims to ensure that the international trade of vulnerable animals does not threaten their survival.

The Pavillion’s Birdwings, as with all their invertebrates, are sourced from sustainable butterfly suppliers that our organization works with as part of our conservation initiatives.

“Our butterfly suppliers are not just vendors, but our conservation partners around the world,” Hershcovich said. “By visiting Butterfly Pavilion, beyond experiencing the Birdwings, you are supporting sustainable wildlife-based economies like butterfly farms that help combat illegal trade, as well as our global field conservation projects”.

The pavilion is open daily from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tickets are $14.50, $12.50 for seniors and $9.50 for children. Pavilion members can attend with free admission.

Co-Responder program off to a busy start

BY LUKE ZARZECKI LZARZECKI@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Westminster’s Co-Responder program is looking for a new member to join the team to help satisfy the policing needs of the community.

“The need to fill in this area of expertise is just exponential. So we are actively looking for somebody,” said Edna Hendershot, acting Deputy Chief of the police department.

The program in Westminster started in 2019 when the department applied for a grant from theState of Colorado Department of Human Services Office of Behavioral Health.

The funds allowed the department to hire two full-time licensesd therapists and a part-time supervisor to respond with officers to calls that involve a mental health component.

Although police officers do attend a 40-hour training class that specifically talks about de-esculating situations, they are not mental health experts, Hendershot said.

“We really saw the opportunity for us to better serve our community by coupling the licensed clinician with the officers for an in progress call,” she said.

Across the country, many police departments began looking inward to see how they can improve their efforts in response to the George Floyd protests over the summer of 2020, but Westminster adopted a collaborative philosophy with other departments early on.

“In Westminster, we’re not afraid to reach out to our community partners to our other law enforcement partners, our federal partners,

whomever it is, to help us in areas where we need assistance or expertise,” she said.

She said there’s a common theme in Colorado with cutting-edge police programs.

One reason as to why she thinks a program like this can work so well in Westminster is due to the fact that officers, firefighters and more are all city employees, meaning each department is not competing against each other. With that said, the program rests in the police department but they often team up with other city services.

“It truly is a Westminster effort, not just a police department effort,” she said.

The program remains busy, which is why Hendershot is seeking another person to join the team.

They just hired a case manager to issues such as finding additional housing or substance abuse programs.

“That ongoing care is then provided to those people to help reduce that recidivism that sometimes we see,” she said.

So far, Hendershot has tracked about 100 contacts per month for both clinicians. A contact can be in the community, at a home or over the phone. She noted that that number is for when the clinicians are working, implying there are more incidents they can respond to with more professionals around the clock.

Councilor Obi Ezeadi expressed interest in expanding the program through the next budget at the Dec. 21 council meeting.

Muniz convicted of four counts of murder STAFF REPORT

Jurors convicted Steven Muniz of four counts of murder Dec. 23 in a March 6 shooting.

Muniz was scheduled to be sentenced on Jan. 5 before Judge Priscilla Loew. He was convicted of four counts of murder, including two counts of First-Degree Murder — after deliberation and two counts of First-Degree murder with universal malice.

“This was an unconscionable and reprehensible crime,” District Attorney Brian Mason. “The defendant murdered two people in cold blood to settle a petty score.

His violent actions left two families reeling and a city asking why? Now he faces a lifetime in prison for his crimes - and our community will be safer for it. I appreciate the jury returning a just verdict - and I’m grateful to the Westminster Police Department and my entire prosecu-

tion team for their extraordinary work on this challenging case.”

The shooting occurred outside Sportswatch Bar and Grill along Lowell Boulevard in Westminster.

Muniz was with a group of family, friends and members of the gang he is a self-admitted member of.

The group was in a confrontation with another group and the altercation became physical when Muniz punched someone from the other group.

According to court records, Muniz fired four shots from a 9mm handgun Mar. 6. Two struck Keith Ames, 33, and two struck Jessica Ybarra, 31. Both died as a result of the shooting.

Muniz fled on foot and jumped in the truck of a friend, Robert Manzanares. Two weeks later, the Westminster Police Department investigated the crime and identified Muniz as the shooter, according to court records.

to receive FEMA assistance, said Garry Sanfacon, Boulder County’s disaster recovery manager.

Law enforcement authorities said the Marshall fire remains under investigation, and declined to address questions about efforts to determine what sparked the state’s most destructive fire in history.

Investigators determined the fire was sparked near Marshall Road and Colorado 93, but haven’t pinpointed a cause or identified who, if anyone, is to blame. The investigation could take weeks, Boulder County Sheriff Joe Pelle said.

More than 700 University of Colorado employees and about 600 students live in areas that were evacuated during the Marshall and Middle Fork fires last week, the university said Tuesday. Nearly 1,000 structures were destroyed by the Marshall fire, including the homes of dozens of CU Boulder students, faculty and staff.

In light of the impacts of the fire, in combination with a surge in COVID cases, instruction for the first two weeks of the spring semester, beginning Jan. 10, on the Boulder campus, will be remote.

Utility crews have restored gas to 10,000 customers as of Tuesday, Xcel Energy Colorado president Alice Jackson said. About 3,000 customers still remain without service.

Outside of the burn path, electricity is back online for everyone

who lost service, while workers continue to restore electricity to customers inside the burn area, Jackson said.

The city of Louisville hopes to restore water to all residents affected by the fire by Jan. 9, officials said.

Strong winds Tuesday created dangerous conditions for firefighters in the burn area, Pat Seekings, operations sections chief for the Rocky Mountain Type 1 Incident Management Team said during a briefing earlier Tuesday.

Crews were working within the fire perimeter in Superior and Louisville, focusing on areas that could potentially flare up due to the high winds, Seekins said.

Todd Legler, the team’s safety officer, warned that high winds pose a significant threat to firefighters and people returning to their homes.

“We saw a lot of significant damage to buildings because of the fire and these winds could topple over some of these buildings, some of these remaining chimneys that are standing, and we don’t want our firefighters or members of the public to get injured by those,” Legler said, urging people to stay out of the restricted areas.

How to prepare for a wildfire in Colorado

BY OLIVIA PRENTZEL THE COLORADO SUN

The Marshall fire, which forced thousands to flee as flames raced across 6,000 acres in the matter of hours, offered a window into what has become a new reality for many parts of Colorado.

Even if you don’t live in a community directly adjacent to forestland, embers can travel through the air, move rapidly and travel great distances, especially when fueled by intense winds.

Here is a list of ways to prepare in the event a wildfire in Colorado: Before the fire Assemble an emergency kit.

The Federal Emergency Management Agency suggests packing the following items: • Water (one gallon per person per day for several days, for drinking and sanitation) and at least a three-day supply of nonperishable food • Battery-powered or hand-crank radio that can receive NOAA weather radio tone alerts and other batteries • Flashlight and extra batteries • First-aid kit Extra batteries • Whistle (to signal for help) • Dust mask (to help filter contaminated air) • Wrench or pliers (to turn off utilities) • Manual can opener (for food) • Local maps • Cell phone with chargers and a backup battery • Masks (for everyone ages 2 and above), soap, hand sanitizer and disinfecting wipes • Prescription medication and glasses. nonprescription medications to treat pain and diarrhea • A complete change of clothing including a long-sleeved shirt, long pants and sturdy shoes.

• Consider additional clothing for colder temperatures.

• Important family documents such as copies of insurance policies, iden-

tification and bank records. Place the documents in a portable, waterproof container.

• Cash and change • First aid book • Matches in a waterproof container • Sleeping bag or a warm blanket for each person • Pen and pencil Books, games, puzzles or other activities for children Pet food and extra water for your pet Diapers and formula Keep important documents together.

Collect insurance records, passports, birth certificates, property titles, Social Security cards and any other important documents that may be needed to file claims after the fire or might be difficult to replace.

Know how you will communicate with your family.

Create a hardcopy list of contact information for your family and other important people and services, like doctors, schools or service providers.

Make sure everyone carries a copy in their wallet, purse or backpack.

When using a cell phone, a text message is the best way to communicate with family, as it uses less bandwidth.

Know your escape routes.

Have a map with more than one evacuation route and practice them with your family. Make sure everyone in the family knows your safe meeting place and let your friends and family know your plans.

Set up homeowner’s or renter’s insurance.

Homeowners should complete annual insurance policy “check-ups” to make sure they keep up with local building costs, home remodeling and inventories of their personal belongings, according to Rocky Mountain Insurance Information Association.

Rates will vary depending on how likely it is a claim will be filed and how much it is likely to cost.

For example, a homeowner living SEE EMERGENCY, P7

in an area that has high wildfire risk would pay a higher insurance rate than a homeowner living in a low-risk area. Renter’s insurance can cover the cost to replace the belongings inside your rented home (up to policy limits) and most policies include additional living expenses if you are forced out of your home from a fire.

Make an inventory of your home.

Take photos or record the nbelongings inside your home and store them outside your home or digitally. Remember to document contents of drawers and closets and if recording, mention the price you paid and where and when you bought the item. Save receipts for major purchases and store them digitally or in a fireproof case. Don’t forget to document what’s inside your garage.

rCreate a digital backup of photos.

For photos taken with your phone, use Google Photos, Apple iCloud, Dropbox or similar services to keep your photos backed up online. For photo albums and other nondigital keepsakes, use a personal scanner to create copies or use a local scanning service to make backups of irreplaceable images.

Have a plan for your pets and animals.

Many public shelters and hotels don’t allow pets inside. Know a esafe place where you can take your

pets before disasters happen. Have your pet microchipped. Make sure your address and phone number are up to date. Plan with neighbors, friends or relatives to make sure that someone is available to care for or evacuate your pets if you are unable to do so. Consider moving horses and large animals to a safe location early, before evacuation is ordered, if possible.

Know the risk of wildfire where you live.

Reducing fuels around your home can help mitigate wildfire risk. Colorado State Forest Service offers the following tips to help prepare your home and property for a fire: • Remove all debris, including leaves and needles, from decks, roofs and gutters • Screen the attic, roof, eaves and foundation vents with 1/8-inch metal mesh • Use tempered glass for windows. CSFS recommends at least two panes • Replace combustible fencing or gates that are within 5 feet of your home • Rake and remove all pine needles and other flammable debris from a 5-foot radius around the foundation of your home • Keep propane tanks at least 30 feet from the home, preferably at the same elevation as the house; remove flammable vegetation within 10 feet of all propane tanks and gas meters • Keep firewood stacked uphill, or at the same elevation as, your home and keep the woodpile at least 30 feet away from your home; do not stack the wood between

trees, underneath the deck or on the deck • Remove branches that hang over the roof and chimney • After thinning trees and shrubs, dispose of the slash by chipping, hauling to a disposal site or piling in open areas for burning later. Wood chips should be kept 30 feet or more away from your home.

As the fire approaches If there’s time, move flammable items like propane tanks, brush and wood piles at least 30 feet away from your home. Shut off the gas at the meter and turn off the airconditioning. Shut windows and doors, but leave them unlocked so firefighters can get in after you evacuate. Remove flammable drapes and curtains. Listen or read the local news for updated emergency information Place valuable documents and mementos inside the car.

When you decide to leave Don’t wait for an evacuation order to leave. If you feel unsafe, go. Consider traffic jams if you live in a densely populated area. Grab your go-bag and if there is time, your most important belongings, including personal documents, family keepsakes, cell phones and chargers.

list of the addresses of the 991 properties destroyed and 127 damaged in the 6,000acre fire.

The cause and exact origin of the fire remain unknown.

A single agency, like Westminster’s fire department, cannot prevent a calamity like this, Le said, and a collective effort is needed.

“Due to the ongoing drought conditions, it will require collective action from many agencies and all Coloradans to prevent fires and mitigate the risk,” Le said. “The City’s 2018 Hazard Mitigation Plan addresses open space fires, and the fire department is establishing a task force to review the plan, as well as to identify opportunities to enhance response and mitigation efforts.”

Westminster’s public safety departments and the Public Works and Utility staff are helping Superior flush their water lines in response to their boil water advisory.

Northglenn’s police department provided support regarding evacuations, directing traffic, assisting victims with property salvage and helped families at shelters, according to Diana Wilson, a spokesperson for Northglenn.

“We are also considering a request from local performers to provide free space for a benefit concert,” said Wilson, though the idea rests in the brainstorming phase.

In Thornton, the police department is assisting with security and neighborhood access, and the fire department helped for several days, according to Todd Barnes, a spokesperson for the City of Thornton.

Westminster, Northglenn and Thornton are all channeling potential donors to Boulder’s existing charities.

Adams County seeks ‘I voted’ artwork Sticker contest expanded to include adults STAFF REPORT

The Adams County Elections Department wants new, custom “I Voted” stickers for the upcoming 2022 elections and is seeking talented Adams County residents and students to design them.

“For the past two years, Adams County has had the most unique `I Voted’ stickers in the state thanks

to this contest, and we plan to continue that tradition,” Adams County Clerk Josh Zygielbaum said in a written statement. “This year, we’re excited to open the contest up to adults as well as students.”

The contest is open to Adams County students who either live in or go to school in the county, as well as adults who live in the county. Students who have a parent who works for the county are also eligible.

Entrants must fill out and sign the submission form, which must be signed by a parent or guardian if

the entrant is under 18.

Submissions must include a short description of the design, as well as information on the inspiration for the design. There is also a Spanish category.

The public will vote to pick their favorite after the entry deadline.

Details will be available on the Clerk & Recorder’s Facebook and Twitter pages in February.

Contest Rules Designs must say “I Voted” or “I Voted in Adams County” and must be non-partisan. Contest entries

should contain elements that represent Adams County, elections or patriotism.

Entrants must keep their original artwork and/or design files. Submissions must be the correct shape/size (or able to scale down to the correct size)—a two-inch circle – and they allow the to use the artwork for upcoming elections.

Entrants can submit hand-drawn or digital artwork now through Feb. 4. Prizes will be awarded to the winners. For information on rules and instructions for entering go to AdamsVotes.com/contest.

Isolation, quarantine guidance changes Updated protocols reflect CDC’s new COVID recommendations

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The state public health department has updated its quarantine and isolation guidance, changing how long it suggests people with COVID-19 — or those who are exposed to it — should avoid others.

Colorado made the move to align with the change in recommendations from the federal Centers for Disease

Control and Prevention (CDC), according to a Dec. 27 news release.

“Isolation” refers to the steps a person should take after a confirmed infection, according to the CDC’s website. Quarantine, on the other hand, is when people avoid others after exposure to the virus and wait to see whether sickness occurs.

The updated guidance reduces the recommended time in isolation for those in the general population with COVID-19 from 10 to five days if asymptomatic on day five, followed by an additional five days wearing a mask when around others, according to the state public health department.

Depending on local public health

orders, mask wearing may be required in public in general indoors regardless of isolation or quarantine.

Aside from the isolation guidance, the new quarantine guidance depends on how long it has been since a person’s initial vaccine shots and whether the person has received a booster shot.

For those who have been exposed to the virus, the CDC now recommends quarantine for five days followed by mask use for an additional five days for people who are unvaccinated or are more than six months out from their second Pfizer or Moderna vaccine dose — or more than two months after the singledose Johnson & Johnson vaccine — and have not yet received a third dose (or second dose if receiving the J&J vaccine), according to the state public health department.

The established guidelines primarily apply to those who are unvaccinated or were vaccinated more than six months ago and did not get a booster shot.

People who have more recently completed their primary vaccination series, meaning within six months of a person’s second dose of Pfizer or Moderna vaccines, or within two months of their J&J dose — or who have received their third dose (or second dose if receiving the J&J vaccine) do not need to quarantine

following an exposure, but they should wear a mask for 10 days after the exposure.

Again, the public should note that local orders may require mask wearing in public regardless of the above guidance.

The CDC’s own specific guidance on mask wearing says that people, including children older than 2, should wear a mask in indoor public places if they are: • Not fully vaccinated • Fully vaccinated and in an area with “substantial or high” COVID transmission • Fully vaccinated and with weakened immune systems For information on the number of COVID cases in local communities and counties, visit the website at at tinyurl.com/CDCcovidspreadtracker.

Regardless of vaccination status, the CDC recommends testing on day 5 after exposure or immediately if symptoms develop, according to the state public health department.

“The change is motivated by science demonstrating that the majority of SARS-CoV-2 (coronavirus) transmission occurs early in the course of illness, generally in the 1-2 days prior to onset of symptoms and the 2-3 days after,” the CDC said in a Dec. 27 news release about the updated isolation and quarantine guidance.

VOICES Communication without the spin is key

C

ommunication, communication, communication. It is the lynchpin to informing your audience whether it is citizens, stockholdCROSS ers, employees, customers or parishioCURRENTS ners.

In turn, regular, thorough communications without the spin can over time produce trust, comfort, respect and a lot more.

With social meBill Christopher dia and a faster pace of life, the public - expects if not demands straight information in a timely fashion. In part, that is why local governments have beefed up public information offices with additional staff and various ways to communicate.

However, one of the failings of the previous Westminster administration, mayor and city council was its lack of regular, open, thorough communications with citizens. There were far too few communiques and too often when staff did put out information it had a definite “marketing spin” to it or “cherry-picked” information.

I know that Councilor Rich Seymour saw this problem prior to when he was elected to the City Council. We talked about it on several occasions and how the administration erred in its approach.

Headed in the right direction to start re-building trust With the new mayor, city council and interim city manager, there is a new day dawning with the much more light beginning to shine through. The Jan. 3 study session included a presentation and discussion on a “Community Engagement Strategy.”

The plan mapped out the first six months of 2022 with a variety of venues and ways to communicate and interact with the Westminster public.

This is commendable and I am delighted to see this focus and effort. The “proof is in the pudding” or so they say. In other words, the best way to find out if something is good or successful is to test it yourself. Obviously, that would include pudding as well as the truth, completeness and focus regarding communications from city hall and members of the council.

Anyway, my point in calling attention to this study session item

is that the mayor, city council and the interim city manager have listened and observed. Now, it is up to them, both collectively and individually, to move forward to begin rebuilding trust with the public.

We hope it will be like a breath of fresh air.

Daily records soar with Omicron and Delta viruses at play It is mind-boggling to learn each day that the previous day’s recordsetting confirmed COVID virus cases have achieved a new high.

As I write this column, I read where the United States was averaging 386,000 new cases on a daily basis. Then the Omicron virus exploded with 1,018,935 new cases were reported on Jan. 3. The latter figure is almost three times higher than the previous daily average.

Plus, these figures are likely understated given COVID tests taken at home.

As the World Health Organization warns, a “tsunami” of new COVID cases is looming across the world. The latest global daily record was quoted at 2,435,881 new cases for Jan. 3, we are seeing a slight trend that some people who have been “fully vaccinated” are coming down with mild impacts of

the Omicron strain of the virus.

You can’t help but wonder if this latest variant will overwhelm the United States and the world even though it is milder. However, there is encouraging news from South Africa where the Omicron variant started. Reports show that the number of new cases there are on the wane. Health experts in the U.S. are pointing to a possible decline of the Omicron virus by late January to mid-February. Let’s hope this is true.

CDC makes the wrong move with reduced quarantine With these staggering figures, one would think that more conservative precautions would be implemented to slow the virus.

Yes, we are seeing a few here and there, but not the sweeping mandates which I believe are needed to seriously reduce the spread of Omicron.

Obviously, no one wants more stringent measures - such as closing certain businesses or requiring proof of vaccination to enter businesses such as restaurants, bars, movie theatres and other public places to assembly. But in SEE CHRISTOPHER, P11

Our evolving relationship and responsibilities with nature

A

recent survey by the US Fish & Wildlife Service has shed new light and trends in outdoors activities. The survey covered OUTDOOR a full 2006-2016 decade of activity LIVING and reporting on a nation-wide scope.

The conclusions represent interesting levels of specific outdoors interest specifically in hunting and angling. This survey focused on an Ron Hellbusch important connection between the population and care of our wildlife numbers and the growing concern of weakening level of priority the public gives our wildlife resource.

Many outdoor observers are concerned about the seemingly weaker attention communities and land developers are extending to the future of wildlife species populations in minimizing the impor-

tance of habitat impact and loss in development plans. Maybe its worth considering the EPA’s long standing Environmental Impact statement (EIS) process as part of the land development planning.

Local government land development today is targeting more rural land, simply due to past development urbanizing marginal rural/ urban land has been consumed.

Today’s development seems too insistent on a higher density (apartment/population) and greater traffic (vehicles/corridors), all resulting in less sustainable natural habitat and food for wildlife and birds. The trend results in limited historic security of existing wildlife travel corridors, less enforcement of rules that assure a balance of urban land use and sustainable living habitat for the wildlife development being forcibly displaced. Who is representing the wildlife, we are becoming to observe on undisturbed rural land? Another reason it may be time to revisit the EIS for wildlife

to integrate the species with the concrete and asphalt?

This imbalance raises many questions and suggest examples. A couple emerges. Today we see less reporting of the impact the growing numbers of energy company wind generators are creating by less accounting for how many migratory and resident waterfowl and bird numbers are injured or killed by the huge rotating blades.

Once a part of the wind generation application process was to have some idea of the loss of bird wildlife. That information is difficult to obtain or not recorded at all.

Another recent weakening of wildlife monitoring and protection is the minimal attention of recording wolf impacts on Yellowstone National Park elk herds and other mammal populations. There are more voids in recording human winter impacts and activities in the national park, and wildlife stresses.

Locally, we must ask questions.

What are developers doing to protect the habitat of wildlife in planning new homes and businesses? What are developers doing to integrate wildlife and to protect or replace wildlife corridors? What do current plans provide to assure natural habitat, plant and food conditions are preserved?

The natural wildlife issue is raised in what many people see as an impractical question; wildlife and natural conditions existed first, yes; but is it practical to provide for a continuation of history now with economics playing such a major role?

More interesting questions follow...

Why should we not ignore nature? Should we just let it fade and replace what was our natural environment with concrete and roof tops? Who represents nature?

Who represents the wildlife?

CHRISTOPHER FROM PAGE 10

the meantime, the CDC goes in the opposite direction and shortens the quarantine time from ten days to five days? This is a politically motivated policy change and seriously undermines the credibility of this national health agency. It is as I have stated before - is the government enacting policies or failing to enact policies for the betterment of the public’s health or for political gain?

State Legislature - keep your hands off I guess it should not come as a surprise if you stop and think about who is in control of our state government: The Democrats control it all - House, Senate and

the Governor’s Office. Dems and labor unions are tied at the hip.

Just last week House Majority Leader Naneya Esgar announced that the Democratic leadership intends to introduce legislation that would allow all Colorado municipal employees to unionize and seek collective bargaining.

I’m telling you folks; this is messing with “home turf.”

Implementing a one size fits all approach to carte blanche collective bargaining is bad public policy. Plus, such a state mandate would usurp local city councils and run smack dab into the home rule powers of towns and cities as defined in the Colorado State Constitution.

It clearly will be an all-out fight between municipal and state representatives on this sacred ground. The Democrats’ intent

Global warming at our backdoor I am still somewhat in a daze about the tragic Marshall fire in Boulder County which destroyed 1,000 homes and impacted so many people’s lives. The newscasts of the devastation looked like a picture from a war-torn city in Europe after World War II. Regardless of how the fire got started, the quickness and magnitude of its impact is beyond anything most of us have ever seen. High winds and very dry vegetation were the demons in this holocaust.

While as homeowners we have observed our lawns, shrubs and trees needing moisture during this drought, I would have not foreseen

such damage and geographic magnitude as was experienced. If this horrific event and the conditions leading up to it don’t convince people we are truly in the midst of global warming, I don’t know what it would take to convince them.

What is really sad is what the Mayor of Superior pointed out: There is nothing to prevent this same type of disaster from happening again. Drought, dry conditions and high winds are a killer.

• Letters advocating for a political candidate should focus on that candidate’s qualifications for office. We cannot publish letters that contain unverified negative information about a candidate’s opponent.

• Do not use all caps, italics or bold text.

begs the question of what is the justification to take such a sweeping approach.

From what I have observed, municipal employees do reasonably well regarding salaries, benefits, working conditions, etc. Let’s hope as this legislation finds its way through the legislative process that there are sufficient clearminded Democrats to help kill this bill.

By the way, whatever happened to the Westminster Police personnel’s desire to unionize?

LIFE Highest-elevation spots in metro Denver counties sit at some unexpected places

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

T

o outdoor-recreation enthusiasts, Colorado is known for its fourteeners: mountain peaks that exceed 14,000 feet.

But take a drive through the Denver area, and you might notice how the elevation varies — even all the way down here.

Finding the highest-elevation points in metro Denver counties takes you to places that you might not expect to hold the top spots. Some sit in areas that make for great photos or bike rides.

Here’s a look at the highest points in several metro counties and information about their surroundings.

Arapahoe County Unless you live in the immediate area, there’s a good hance you’ve never passed by Arapahoe County’s highest stretch.

It sits near the edge of far southeast Aurora, just outside of Blackstone Country Club, amid the maze of twisting suburban streets.

Douglas County sits a few blocks to the south across County Line Road — and Elbert County sits a short drive to the southeast.

Michael Hubbard, a geographic information system analyst with Arapahoe County, believes that the highest point in the county point sits near the intersection of Powhaton Road and Otero Drive, at around 6,220 feet above sea level.

Hubbard said he determined that location from “our 10-foot elevation contours that cover the entire county.”

Near the high point, the south Aurora area features the large Southlands outdoor mall but quickly gives way to the plains to the east.

The high point is not far from where Smoky Hill Road ends, dipping south of Arapahoe Road.

The Smoky Hill Trail, once the shortest route to Denver from Kansas, ran roughly along parts of what is today Smoky Hill Road, according to the Aurora History Museum. The route was used from the 1850s until 1870, according to a guide from the museum online.

“Archaeological evidence found near (a historical) marker indicates that native peoples occupied the area approximately 850 years before the first European American immigrants arrived,” the guide says.

Adams County Another place where the suburbs meet the plains, Adams County’s highest point, just off of Interstate 70, is not far from an industrial area.

Drivers can access the area off a frontage road along I-70 — Colfax Avenue, which, after some twists and turns, continues east past the I-70/E-470 interchange and crosses Powhaton Road.

Based on the county’s contour map, the highest point in the county is northeast of that crossing. It is 5,670 feet in elevation, located on 26th Avenue, approximately 2,680 feet east of Powhaton Road, said a statement from county spokesperson Amber DiGiallonardo.

Signs advertising new homes in the area sit at the intersection of Powhaton Road and 26th Avenue, a mark of the continuing suburban sprawl.

A map illustrates the locations of Douglas County’s high-elevation points.

Denver County At first glance, the area of Kipling Street and Belleview Avenue looks like a nondescript suburban intersection: a Taco Bell here, a King Soopers there.

Walk a couple blocks north, though, and you’re out of Jefferson County and back inDenver, close to Denver’s highest point.

“The highest point within the City and County of Denver is somewhere along the south and/ or west fence lines behind the residence 4899 S. Johnson St.,” a statement from Denver staff said. “These fence lines are along the boundary between Denver and Jefferson counties, and elevation continues to rise to the south and west. The elevation here is approximately 5,684 feet -5,685 feet.”

If you don’t pay close attention to the look of the street signs, you wouldn’t know you’re back in Denver.

The spot is part of the area where Denver’s boundaries snake farthest southwest. Parts of that general area were annexed into Denver sometime in the 1970s, according to materials on the Denver Public Library’s website.

On the other end of Denver near its southeast edges, another high point sits near where Interstate 25 meets Belleview Avenue.

“Honorable mention should be given to the building site at 6900 E. Layton Ave. in the Belleview Station area,” Denver’s statement to Colorado Community Media said. “Prior to the development of this block, city contour data showed a couple of small domes exceeding 5,685 feet. It is unlikely that these survived development.”

Elevations at other points of interest in Denver, according to the city, include: • Loretto Heights Park, just to the west of the Loretto Heights campus, rises to approximately 5,510 feet. The “historic building(s)” on the campus sit at about 5,490 feet. The 70-acre campus, a former Catholic college that grew out of an effort by the Sisters of Loretto that dates back to 1891, sits off Federal Boulevard and Dartmouth Avenue.

2021’s best albums use music as bridge, inspiration

M

uch like the year immediately preceding it, 2021 posed more than its share of challenges. As individuals, commuCOMING nity members and ATTRACTIONS global citizens, we all had to be more thoughtful than ever about what we owe to ourselves and those around us.

Whether as a balm or bridge, music continued to play a crucial role Clarke Reader for me and many others. In a year brimming with things to pay attention to, it’d be easy to miss some great music. Here are five albums that might’ve passed you by but are worth every minute you give them.

Kississippi — Mood Ring Kississippi, the name which Philadelphia’s Zoe Allaire Reynolds records under, gives a handy glimpse of the sense of humor of the artist.

That humor is all over her second full-length, “Mood Ring,” and it’s both a tool for her and a bit of a deception. Reynolds artfully uses it on

HIGH POINTS FROM PAGE 12

The high point sits at 5,851.11 feet, according to a statement from the city and county.

“General location is south of state Highway 128 and east of Indiana Street. The elevation point was derived from (the) Broomfield 2006 Aerial/lidar mapping project,” the statement from spokesperson Carolyn Romero said.

Rocky Flats was once a U.S. nuclear weapons plant that from 1952 until 1989 manufactured the plutonium detonators, or triggers, used in nuclear bombs. Production was halted amid an investigation of the plant’s operator, Rockwell International Corporation, for violations of environmental law, according to the Britannica online encyclopedia.

The site was one of 13 nuclearweapons production facilities in the United States during the Cold War and was managed by the Department of Energy, according to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service website.

The plant operated from 1952 to 1994, with manufacturing activities taking place in the center portion of the site with a large buffer zone around the area, the website says.

numerous tracks, but it also masks how incisive and searching she is as a writer.

“Mood Ring” is full of indie rock and pop gems, but the hooks never overpower the heartbreak Reynolds achingly explores. “Around Your Room” isn’t just one of the album’s best songs, but one of the best of the entire year. In it, she pleads for the return of a lost love, name-checks Cyndi Lauper’s most well-known song and conjures all the nostalgia of first love. It’s the kind of magic trick that gets under your skin.

Peyton — PSA There’s something about a great R&B record that just lives in your brain. The slickness of the grooves and warmth of the vocals can make the music seem more like an old friend than the thoughts of someone you don’t know. “PSA,” the debut album from Houston, Texas, native Peyton expertly evokes these very feelings while adding her own flourishes.

Peyton Booker is the granddaughter of Theola Booker, a legendary Gospel singer, and that same passion and love of the craft is all over the songs on “PSA.” While “Dismantling of the plant and cleanup of the highly contaminated site was undertaken in the mid1990s and declared completed in 2005,” Britannica’s website says.

“Two years later, most of the site was designated a national wildlife refuge, with areas set aside for eventual recreational use, while the remainder was permanently closed to the public.”

Whether the remaining contamination constitutes a significant risk to public health is a matter of dispute, Britannica’s website says.

Visiting Rocky Flats National Wildlife Refuge is free.

“Discover the 10.3 miles of yearround hiking trails for wildlife viewing, photography, and to connect with nature,” the webpage says.

Douglas County The highest point in Douglas County is near Thunder Butte, according to a statement from county spokesperson Wendy Holmes.

The spot’s elevation, according to the “LIDAR 2020 Contours,” is 9,836 feet, the statement said.

A butte is an isolated hill with steep sides and a flat top, similar to but narrower than a mesa.

The next-highest point is near Devils Head, at an elevation of 9,748 feet, according to the county.

Both points sit in the southwest part of the county. Thunder Butte

listenable throughout. And when you combine Rashad’s writing with some top-tier production work, you get the year’s best rap album.

R&B is the main genre, on any given track you’ll hear classic soul or even shoegaze elements wafting through. For a debut album, “PSA” shows nothing but promise and I cannot wait to hear how she continues to experiment and blend genres to her will. The title says it all - start paying attention to Peyton now.

Isaiah Rashad — The House Is Burning When Kendrick Lamar announced last year that he had just one album left to make on California’s Top Dawg Entertainment record label, fans of their lineup could be forgiven for wondering what would happen without its biggest star. But thankfully Isaiah Rashad finally released his much-anticipated sophomore album, “The House Is Burning,” and put any worries about the label’s future to rest.

Funky and introspective, the album follows a particularly difficult time for the Chattanooga, Tennessee, rapper — Rashad struggled with poverty and addiction issues and while it would be cliché to say he’s emerged stronger than ever, there’s a new vitality and wisdom in his music. It’s never ponderous or preachy but remains immensely is located west of State Highway 67, southwest of the Town of Larkspur, according to a map provided by the county.

Devils Head sits far south of where state Highway 67 meets Rampart Range Road. It’s east of Rampart Range Road, west of Larkspur.

Jefferson County The highest point in Jefferson County is Buffalo Peak at 11,589 feet — also known as Freeman Peak, according to a statement from county spokesperson Julie Story.

“Buffalo Peak is part of the Kenosha Mountains and is located (about) 2.5 miles south of Wellington Lake, just east of the JeffersonPark county line, in the Lost Creek Wilderness of Pike National Forest,” the statement said.

Some other relatively high summits in Jefferson that are closer to the Denver area, according to Jefferson’s statement, include the following spots: • On Green Mountain at 6,855 feet • North Table Mountain has three peaks; the highest is at 6,575 feet • South Table Mountain has two peaks; the highest is at 6,335 feet • On Mount Carbon at 5,772 feet The information in the county’s statement came from a data set from the United States Geological Survey dated 2010, according to the county.

Rostam — Changephobia Making pretty music sounds like a simple proposition but doing it without being treacly or overly sentimental takes a real artist. As a member of Vampire Weekend, producer and solo artist, Rostam Batmanglij has been making some of the prettiest, most subtly layered music around for nearly 15 years. His second solo full-length, “Changephobia,” might be his most gorgeous collection of songs yet.

The songs he creates here are all quicksilver melodies and sharply written character studies. All the tunes bend and conform to Batmanglij’s surprising sonic architectures, resulting in an album that is full of gems that sound completely different than the bulk of pop stars’ tunes. For something a little less ordinary, “Changephobia” is something special.

Clear Creek This story is intended to highlight lesser-known points of high elevation in counties, but the highest elevation in Clear Creek County is 14,278 feet at Grays Peak, according to visitclearcreek.com, which says it is “the official travel planning website for tourism in Clear Creek County.”

Elbert County Asked about Elbert County’s highest point, Greg Thompson, county planning manager, pointed to a map on peakbagger.com. He said he doesn’t necessarily have any more specific information than that site would have.

The Elbert County high-point elevation is given as around 7,360 feet on the webpage at tinyurl.com/ ElbertCountyHighPoint. That spot is near the Elbert-El Paso county line, according to the webpage’s map. Elbert meets Douglas County some distance to the west, according to the map.

“It was interesting to see how the contours changed from one end of Elbert County to the other,” Thompson said, speaking about the map.

“The high point in the south end is about 1,000 feet higher than Kiowa and 2,000 feet higher than Limon.

It’s a more pronounced elevation change than I would have anticipated!”

COVID increase means little impact on local prep sports

BY STEVE SMITH SSMITH@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The recent increase in COVID cases has had little impact on in-person attendance at prep sporting events.

Adams City High School continues to allow two attendees per player, according to athletic director Jacob Katz. Kent Denver School in Englewood tweeted Jan. 4 it would not allow spectators on campus starting Wednesday, Jan. 5.

For other areas in northern Adams and southern Weld counties,

including Holy Family High School in Broomfield and Prairie View High School in Brighton, it’s business as usual.

“Fort Lupton has not made any changes to protocols,” said athletic director Cora Lanter. “We are still allowing spectators at this time (Jan. 4).”

Nothing has changed at Horizon High School.

“Our protocols haven’t changed at this time,” said athletic director Marty Tonjes. “We still require masks for everyone while indoors.”

Riverdale Ridge athletic director Aaron Riessen said there had been no changes to spectator admittance at his school.

“We are still allowing spectators,” said Thornton High School athletic director Pay Woytek. “I believe all of DPS (Denver Public Schools) is that way, but I don’t know of anyone else.”

“ERA (Eagle Ridge Academy) is still following the same guidelines,” said athletic director Zach Henning.

“We are still allowing spectators with masks.”

The Colorado High School Activities Association said it won’t be releasing COVID updates.

“The association is taking its direction from state and local health departments, so we’re following the rules dictated by public health officials,” said Brad Cochi, CHSAA’s director of digital media.

Officials reported 1,700 new COVID cases in Adams County Jan. 3 and 7,400 cases from Dec. 21 through Jan. 3. In Weld County, the case numbers totaled 1,300 Jan. 3. and 3,500 new cases from Dec. 21
