Police Chiefs give input for rising crime

BY LUKE ZARZECKI LZARZECKI@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A deadly March 14 shooting in Northglenn is just one more recent example of rising crime in the Northern Metro area, according to city chiefs of police.

Chiefs in Northglenn, Thornton and Westminster said there are likely numerous factors behind the rise, including COVID-19.

“I can’t remember the exact number but I know that our county jail held 1200 prisoners and I know they reduced it all the way down to 500. I think that number is coming back up, but it’s been a challenge,” Northglenn Police Chief James May said. He noted jails around Colorado had to reduce prisoner populations during

COVID shutdowns.

Westminster Interim Police Chief Norm Haubert and Thornton Police Chief Terrence Gordon both agreed a lag in the courts and decrease in the amount of prison inmates has affected crime rates.

As well, the actual virus itself.

“Police officers can catch viruses too, so contact with people was limited,” Gordon said.

On March 14, a 54-year-old male died from a gunshot wound after being shot on 11355 York St. According to a press release from Northglenn’s Police Department, the officers were advised that a male suspect stole the victim’s cell phone and shot him in the abdomen. The suspect was taken into custody.

Across Northglenn, Thornton and Westminster, violent crime has gone up over the past ten years, according to statistics from the Colorado Bureau of Investigation. Since 2012, violent crime in Northglenn rose 162%, Thornton 29% and Westminster 28%.

That’s more than population increases, which was 5% in Northglenn, 7% in Westminster (from 2012-2020) and 15% in Thornton (20122020.)

Gordon said in Thornton, COVID-19 created a separation between the community and the police because business checks, officers talking in schools and other community engagement tactics were postponed.

The average electric bill for Xcel Energy’s residential customers will go up $5.24 a month — a 6.4% increase — starting in April under a $182 million rate hike approved Wednesday by the Colorado Public Utilities Commission.

The PUC voted 3-0 to accept the increase, which was agreed upon in rate-case negotiations that included the Colo-

rado Utility Consumer Advocate and Energy Outreach Colorado, a nonprofit advocacy organization that, among other things, helps lowincome households pay utility bills.

“Although a 6.42% rate is troubling to me, I find the settlement is just and reasonable,” Commissioner John Gavin said.

Rates for the average small commercial customer will also rise 6.2% or about $6.62 a month.

There will be more Xcel Energy electricity rate cases to come, said Ron Davis, the commission’s chief adviser. “The company will be back in for rate requests in the next 3 or 4 years at the outside.”

Thornton term-limits case heads to Colorado Supreme Court

BY LUKE ZARZECKI LZARZECKI@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The case regarding Thornton’s term limits is on its way to the Colorado Supreme court, according to an order issued by the state’s highest court.

The order includes the rule C.A.R. 50 which, according to Colorado Judcial Branch’s website, comes into play when a

decision is time sensitive and has broad impact.

That’s why it skipped the state Court of Appeals and the Colorado Supreme Court decided to hear it, said Todd Barnes, a spokesperson for the city of Thornton. “...the Court’s primary role in reviewing such decisions is to set precedent that develops and SEE TERM LIMITS, P7

Marvin pushes for Thornton campaign finance reform

BY LUKE ZARZECKI LZARZECKI@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Thornton City Councilor Julia Marvin has issues with the city’s campaign financing.

“We have no limits around campaign finance, I feel like our reporting is really outdated,” she said.

At a March 8 City Council planning session meeting, Marvin told fellow councilors that a group of about 50 residents is organizing around the issue.

One example she pointed out is that the deadline for a candidate’s first campaign finance report is in mid-October, after mailed ballots have started reaching residents.

According to the City of Thornton’s website, in 2021 the candidates’ first deadline to submit a report was Oct. 12. The next was Oct. 29, and then Dec. 2 was the last one. The website says a candidate can start campaigning at any time, as long as they file their candidate affidavit within 10 days of announcing their campaign. That includes fundraising.

“That’s a long time to go without reporting,” Marvin said.

According to Reese Evenson, Thornton’s City Clerk, the County Clerk’s office may mail ballot packets to voters not sooner than 22 days and no later than 18 days before the election.

In 2021, the packets were mailed October 11 through October 15, she said.

City Councilor Kathy Henson

voiced support for reform and pointed to mail-in ballots arriving at folks’ houses before the first campaign finance report is due.

Marvin said there is also a lack of limits regarding campaign donations.

“Not having any Marvin limits or anything allows large donors and special interest groups to have a disproportionate level of influence in our elections and the rising cost of campaigning for office has prevented qualified citizens from running,” she said.

She wants limits Sandgren on campaign contributions, as well as eliminating anonymous donations, public financing for campaigns, strengthening dark money coordination restrictions and adding teeth to enforcement policies.

City Councilor Adam Matkowsky said he would only be in favor of city staff investigating the matter if “a lot more than 50” residents were in favor.

“I think there is already a lot of campaign reform,” Mayor Pro Tem Jessica Sandgren said. “I don’t support putting staff energy into this right now.”

Mayor Jan Kulmann said there was not enough consensus to move to item forward, however, Henson noted the residents interested in

pursuing the issue are coming.

Experience with Campaigning Kate Miya, a Thornton resident, teacher and a former candidate for city council, confirmed that 50 residents are organizing for campaign finance reform. Miya ran against City Councilor Tony Unrein and lost in 2021.

“Until you run for an office you don’t know how broken something is until you see that,” she said.

When she ran for the City Council, Mia said she was shocked by how much money went into local elections.

“If you wanted to give me a million dollars, you could,” she said.

“That’s not the way I think that the system was supposed to be set up. It’s supposed to be more about electing people and giving people a choice, not who can you know, fill your mailbox up with the most flyers.”

More money means more name recognition through lawn signs, mailers and other advertising techniques, she said.

She pointed to the CleanSlateNow Action organization, whose mission is “to eliminate the corrupting influence of big money in politics and elections.”

The organization releases reports for municipal and state elections detailing where the candidate’s money comes from.

The organization’s report on Thornton’s 2021 municipal election showed that Unrein raised a total of $33,325.99 dollars, which included $7,000 from his own pocket, for the 2021 City Council election. Of that, 36.70% of the donors were from individuals.

Miya received $18,047.92 and contributed $200 of her own money.

80.89% of her donors were from individuals.

“To me, it looks like purchasing the seat and that’s not what’s supposed to happen,” she said. “Tony is a good guy, I’m sure. So I don’t want to disparage him in any way, shape or form. But when you look at the amount of money that he brought in and the average contribution for him was $640. My average contribution was about $70. It’s a big difference, especially when you start looking at where that money comes from.”

Nearby Rules Reporting deadlines in Westminster and Northglenn mirror those of Thornton. Their first reporting deadline is Oct. 12, the second is Oct. 29 and their final is Dec. 2.

As to contribution limits, the City of Westminster’s website says “The Westminster Municipal Code does not specify any amount for contribution limits.”

The same goes for Northglenn, and both municipalities outline how all campaign contributions are required to be disclosed. Guidelines for disclosing contributions are: $19.99 or less do not need to be itemized, $20 or more must be itemized and include the name and address of the contributor, $100 or more must include the occupation and employer of the contributor, $1,000 or more must be reported within 24 hours of receipt and cash contribu-

tions cannot exceed $100.

Additionally, the Westminster City Charter states that any donation from a council member or their immediate family over $100 shall create a conflict of interest in regards to that councilor’s vote on any issue.

Northglenn candidates cannot accept contributions from corporations or labor organizations, foreign citizens, foreign corporations or governments, other candidate committees or anonymous contributors.

Proposed Changes Miya echoed Marvin’s ideas to require the first reporting deadline to be prior to when ballots are received by voters and to put a cap on donations.

Owen Perkins, President of CleanSlateNow Action, described a public financing option, where the government helps fund campaigns.

In Denver, he said a matching program exists where a donation will be matched 9-1.

“If I contribute $10 to somebody, it’s matched with a $90 contribution from public funds to become a $100 contribution,” he said.

In Seattle, he said that every registered voter gets four $25 vouchers that can only be used for candidates who opt-in for public financing and turn down special interest corporate money.

With those vouchers, he said populations without any disposable income suddenly became a huge voting block that politicians began catering to.

“They started being empowered with the ability to make significant kind of campaign contributions,” he said. “The other result is that you get candidates who are much more diverse, who are younger or candidates of color, more women running as all them running and winning elections at a much higher rate than we’ve seen in the past when you get those kinds of reforms in place.”

As well, he suggests banning corporate and union contributions.

Perkins thinks that a candidate’s campaign fund should be almost 100% from individual donors. Anything lower than that, he thinks a candidate starts to become influenced by big donors.

To achieve a higher percentage of individual donors, he points to Aurora who recently passed a referendum to put a limit on contributions, $400 per constituent for council members and $1,000 for mayor and at-large members.

“In the election before they passed reforms, they had one candidate who was over 90% from individuals and in the most recent election last November, I think it was six out of 13 candidates were over 90%,” he said.

Getting on the Ballot The process to put the item on the ballot, Miya and Marvin said, is difficult.

Both said the current council would not be in favor of acting on the issue. The city charter requires signatures collected from 10% of eligible voters within a 21-day timeSEE REFORM, P7

Adams Co. sheriff debuts DNA laboratory STAFF REPORT

The Adams County Sheriff’s Office unveiled its new, $1.2-million DNA Laboratory on March 14.

The department began noting the need for a local DNA Lab began more than 15 years, according to a press statement, and discussions began between then-Sheriff Doug Darr and Detectives Division Chief Fred Stoll.

The press statement said law enforcement leaders across the state have

Westminster’s Haubert explained that the economic impact of the pandemic also increased crime. And Gordon said economic opportunities is a major player in reducing — or increasing — crime.

“Economic opportunity, education, and community values. If we legitimately put our efforts into those things, taking out all of the other baggage and all the other things that come with political discussions, if we legitimately put our focus into those areas, I think we would be able to bend that curve down a little bit,” Gordon said.

With a lack of consequences for committing crimes, May said that has contributed to increased crime.

“Criminal trespass to a car went from a felony to a misdemeanor, so reducing the crimes or penalties, es-

“craved technological advances” in DNA forensics testing and the ability to utilize those advances for solving cases.

Speaking at a March 14 press conference, Darr said it wasn’t a one-man effort.

“This was a team of people who worked pretty hard in the course of a lot of years to try and create a DNA lab in Adams County,” he said in the statement Current Sheriff Rick Reigenborn

presented the proposal for the lab to the Adams County board of commissioners in 2019. Commissioners allocated the $1.2 million. The press statement said the lab was built and furnished under budget.

Lead DNA analyst Roz Ekx led a tour through the new lab and explained the process of DNA collection, identification, isolation, multiplication and developing DNA profiles. Roz worked for the Colorado Bureau of Investigation processing DNA evidence until 2009

when she joined the Adams County Sheriff’s Office.

The press statement said the Colorado Bureau of Investigation’s lab only accepts a select number of sample collections. As a result, there are backlogs as investigators process DNA samples from across the state. The new Adams County lab will be able to process evidence quickly, according to the statement, and not just for violent or persons crimes, but also property crimes.

pecially on guns, doesn’t make sense, especially when we’re seeing across the metro area, an increase in crime and we’re arresting individuals multiple times without any consequence by the courts,” May said.

May doesn’t think more people are committing crimes, but sees a small percentage of people repeatedly committing crimes.

“There’s no accountability for them to be held to a consequence and I think that’s the biggest thing,” he said.

To help come up with crime reduction tactics, May uses what he calls a Crime Triangle, with offenders, victims (residents) and location as the three sides Right now, he says that putting offenders in jail is difficult, so he hopes to spend resources on educating the community to help be the eyes and ears of the department.

thefts rising in their jurisdiction. Gordon thinks that cars are too easy to steal, and those thefts affect lower-income folks the most. May and Haubert agree.

“It really is a hindrance on what a lot of people are trying to accomplish and maintaining a job and childcare and that type of stuff when they don’t have a ride,” Haubert said.

Haubert said it’s a factor in other crimes, like robberies and drug transactions. People committing those crimes don’t want to use their own cars.

“They’re going to want to defer that and make that as difficult as they can for us to follow up on,” he said.

Gordon points to property crime.

“Property crime, around the country and in the north metro area, which is what my concern is, is unacceptably high,” Gordon said.

Gordon understands why.

“I was a young man of color a long time ago,” he said. “I didn’t like the police, I was afraid of the police and I guarantee you that that historical legacy is still there.”

Despite his previous views, he wanted to go into public service as a career and was hired as a police officer. He thinks he brings a unique and helpful perspective.

“I think there are many times when people are protesting their government, including the police, they got a point and we need to listen to what they’re saying,” he said.

Other Increases All three chiefs pointed to auto

Mental Health “I don’t think the jails are the right place for someone with mental health (issues),” May said.

All three said that infrastructure for mental health-related crimes and calls are lacking. May said a place needs to exist where officers can take individuals with mental health crises for immediate care.

Chief Gordan thinks it needs to be a combined effort and the police department should not be responsible for seeking funding for mental health facilities.

“That therapist should already be there,” he said. “Someone needs to step in and give them and their families the services they need.”

Hiring Haubert said that police departments are facing labor shortages like every other industry.

As well, police officers aren’t viewed the same as in the past.

“I don’t think it’s a sought-after profession like it used to be,” said Haubert.

Gordon agrees and wants his department to be representative of those it serves. He said the reported percentage of the Hispanic population in Thornton is 38.5%, but the police force does reflect that.

“I’m fairly confident that we don’t have 40% officers of Hispanic descent on our police department,” he said. “In the 80s and 90s, you saw a huge influx of people of color and women coming to police departments, you don’t necessarily see that as much anymore.”

All three chiefs pointed to the attitude many people have towards police officers for trouble hiring and retaining officers. That attitude is mostly negative.

Legislation All three chiefs expressed gratitude for the support they receive from their city council. However, state and federal legislation has not helped them, they think, as much.

“Depending on what side of the aisle you’re on, and how people want to point fingers at each other.

All that’s a waste of time. But I do believe that decision-makers and policymakers are distracted and not necessarily paying attention to what’s going on in the neighborhoods,” Gordon said.

He says the polarization of the country shields people from seeing their shared values with one another.

“Now you have to have enemies, you have to be in a camp, you have to be against somebody, you have to be against something, you know and it’s just dysfunctional,” he said.

“We have become a political football, and at times the profession gets dragged into political discussions,” he said. “We are distracted by things that don’t matter in this country.”

One issue he brought up was bail reform. He thinks the discretion of prosecutors, court commissioners, magistrates, and judges have been taken out of the equation.

“I’m all for bail reform. I don’t think bail should be a poor person tax. But we can’t take the discretion of criminal justice professionals out of the system,” he said.

Gordon sees efforts to alleviate crime. He says the root causes of homelessness need to be addressed, as well as education.

“We already know that by a certain age, if kids have lower educational attainment by that age, then their peers that’s highly correlated with them becoming clients of the criminal justice system. We’ve known this for 20 years. What are we doing about it?” he said.

As well, he said the police serve the needs of the people and people need to be heard while the legislation is being written, not experts.

“Find out what the people in the neighborhoods want,” he said.

No charges for deputies in March 2021 shooting STAFF REPORT

The 17th Judicial District Attorney’s Office will not charge two Adams County sheriff’s deputies for their roles in a March 2021 shooting in unincorporated Adams County.

One of the deputies, James Graham, tried to make a traffic stop of a Mercedes near 70th Avenue and Broadway. A letter from DA Brian Mason to AdCo Sheriff Rick Reigenborn said the vehicle was driving at a high rate of speed and passing cars in the median. Instead, the car continued toward the exit

for southbound I-25 when it struck a roadway barrier.

The letter said two people — Dominick Perea and Joseph Wiley — got out of the car and went eastbound across the lanes of the freeway.

Graham gave chase, as did a Denver police officer, Steve Hammack. The two men tried to stop vehicles and open the car doors, the letter said.

“He (Graham) believed the two men were armed and that the civilians in the passing vehicles were in danger of being robbed or kidnapped if the men were to enter a vehicle.”

Perea succeeded in getting

into a car and laid down on top of a female driver. The letter said Graham caught up with the vehicle but found the door was locked. He broke out the driver’s side window and heard the woman scream for help. The letter said Perea was fighting with the driver to keep the car in motion.

After ignoring several orders to get out of the car, the letter said Graham swung his baton at Perea, then tried to use a Taser, which was “ineffective,” the letter said.

Officer Hammack tried to use his Taser, too, without success.

A second deputy, Layne

Paintin, helped the other officers to remove Perea from the car. Perea resisted, the letter said. During that struggle, Paintin struck Perea in the head. Authorities later arrested Wiley.

Mason’s letter to the sheriff said the physical force used in this instance was justified.

“Here, Deputy Graham resorted to the use of physical force ... only after it became apparent that the nonviolent means were unsuccessful,” Mason’s letter said. “Further, Deputy Graham used force on Mr. Perea as Mr. Perea appeared to be engaged in an effort to carjack a citizen on I-25.”

Mason also found that the use of force was “consistent with the minimization of injury to others” and that Perea posed “an immediate threat to the safety of others,” such that it required the use of force.”

Perea faces six counts, kidnapping, robbery, trespassing to a vehicle with the intent to commit a crime, vehicular eluding, driving under restraint and resisting arrest.

His arraignment is set for March 31. Wiley plead guilty to a charge of possession of a defaced weapon, one with the serial number altered or removed.

Early morning fire in Northglenn results in one fatality STAFFREPORT

An early morning fire March 17 in the 11800 block of Northglenn’s Keough Dr left a house in ruins and one person dead.

North Metro Fire Rescue District responded to the house fire just before 1 a.m. Marh 17. Upon arrival, firefighters reported flames coming through the front door and heavy black smoke billowing through the windows of the two-story home with a basement.

Four adult occupants were able to escape on their own, with two incurring injuries and requiring transportation to an area hospital. Crews later found a

fifth person dead inside the building.

Crews were able to quickly extinguish the fire, but significant damage was sustained to the home, and the family will be displaced for an indefinite period. A representative from Northglenn/Thornton victim services is assisting the family with their immediate needs.

“This is a tough day for our community, and our hearts go out to the family as they mourn the loss of their loved one,” said North Metro Fire Chief David Ramos.

In addition to North Metro Fire’s emergency personnel, Thornton Fire Department and Westminster Fire

Department assisted with the fire and medical care on scene. One Northglenn police officer responding to the fire

The butterflies migrate to the DAs office Quist middle school art exhibit brightens lobby

BY BELEN WARD BWARD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The Roger Quist Middle School Art Club butterflies arrived with a beautiful art installation placed at the Adams County 17th Judicial District Attorney’s Office on March 16.

“It’s just been a real thrill to partner with Quist Middle School and the outstanding students and teachers on this project,” District Attorney Brian Mason said. “Our staff with the DAs office came to Quist almost every week to work with the kids on the artwork. And now today, we get to see the fruits of their labors. And it’s a fantastic exhibit, and it brightens up the DA’s office lobby.”

The exhibit will be on display at the DA’s office at 1000 Judicial Center Dr. in Brighton. Eventually, it should move to the Adams County Government Center, Mason said.

The art collaboration project displays more than 80 pastels on canvas and 60 butterflies representing the world’s wonders, all created

by Quist Middle School Art Club students and staff from the DA’s office weekly. About 100 families of students, 27J leadership, and DA staff came to see the exhibit.

Quist Middle School students created a butterfly art display to help them heal from the impacts of the pandemic. The Adam County Dis-

trict Attorney’s office heard about the art display in a Colorado Community Media story.

The DA’s office contacted Quist to partner with them on an art project that would develop connections with the community and help with therapeutic healing impacted by the COVID-19.

“The students who worked on the

art are from sixth through eighth grade. It took us about four hours to put the display together at the DA’s Office,” said Taylor Marino, Quist Middle School Science teacher.

Work on the project started in October 2021, and it went on the walls at the middle school at the end of February 2022.

“We are so excited to see this display,” Marino said.

Art Club student Michael Leslie came with his family to see his butterfly, which he painted with geometric patterns.

“I really like patterns on everything. I painted it with reds and greens with words on the back too,” said Leslie.

Izzy Sands loved spending time in the Art Club to create nature scenes.

online. I thought it was a wonderful thing from nature. I recreated it in my own style. It turned out very well and I especially like the sunset f in the background,” said Sands.

Amelia Jarosz in the Art Club s painted sunsets and beaches from n her travels. m “I love sunsets and taking pictures t of sunsets and the beach,” said Jarosz.

Beth Marks-Berner, Quist Middle School English Language Arts teacher, said she has mixed feelings now that it is done.

“To be honest with you, this has been the best part of my year,” Marks-Berner said. “School has not been easy this year. Every Thursday, we met with these kids, and they are lovely and beautiful. We enjoyed them and it was just a nice way to build community and I loved it. I’m relieved that it’s over so I can rest.”

clarifies the law on important issues of broad impact, it grants review in a small percentage of cases. The Court has no set number of certiorari petitions it will grant, but it typically grants around 5 percent of the petitions filed each year.”

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

The suit alleged that it was illegal for Kulmann to seek re-election, and the city argued council positions and the mayor position are different.

However, the court ruled they are not.

Denver 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

“We’re looking at trying to gather something like 12,000 to 14,000 signatures in 21 days, and that’s pretty much impossible,” Miya said.

The group has not selected a date to begin and they are waiting to

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.

According to an 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.

The suit also says the Colorado Constitution only allows city councilors to serve two, four-year terms. The city argued that because the mayor and the councilors have different duties, they are two different seats, Yellico told councilors.

will also offer a legal opinion on a Thornton lawsuit regarding term limits, the sitting mayor and City Councilors.

Thornton’s Mayor Pro Tem Jessica Sandgren, who is also the secretarytreasurer of the Colorado Municipal League, told her council colleagues during a Feb. 1 planning meeting that the league voted unanimously to provide an amicus brief regarding Thornton’s appeal in their term limits case.

An amicus brief is meant to assist a judge in the decision of a case, said Kevin Bommer, executive director of the municipal league. 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.

He’s a retired person and he has some connections and that’s all very well,” Miya said. “I’m just a working-class person, I’m a teacher, I’ve been involved in the city outside of just teaching, and I don’t think I really ever stood a chance.”

spokesperson for the city of Thornton, a webpage called Actual and Factual was created to provide residents with facts due to misinformation circling on the internet. He said there has been a lot of misinformation about the term limits case.

The webpage provides information on the case including the order of the court, notice of appeal and Mayor Jan Kulmann’s answer to complaint.

“The appeal is in no way an effort by the city of Thornton or Mayor Jan Kulmann to change the form of Thornton’s city government. Thornton’s appeal, which had to be approved by a majority of city council to go forward, is meant to clarify the application of term limits for the elected positions of council member and mayor under Thornton’s Charter,” the webpage says.

Barnes pointed to one gofundme. com page that is raising money to “stop Jan Kulmann’s abuse of Thornton City Charter.” On the page, it says “The City of Thornton, City Council, is attempting to change how Thornton is being governed without voter input!! This effort is spearheaded by Mayor Kulmann, who has exceeded her term limit per state statute.”

Colorado has recovered 98% of jobs lost in pandemic Unemployment rate drops to 4.1%

BEST OF THE BEST

2022 BEST OF THE

BEST VOTE NOW! Through April 15th

BY TAMARA CHUANG THE COLORADO SUN

Colorado’s economic recovery is going better than expected state labor officials said Monday, reporting that 98% of jobs lost when COVID struck have returned.

However, January’s 4.1% unemployment rate, the lowest since the pandemic began, is still higher than the 2.8% in February 2020, the month before the first COVID-19 cases in Colorado were confirmed.

“That was historically low. That was after the end of a very long economic expansion,” Ryan Gedney, senior labor economist at the state Department of Labor and Employment, said during a news conference on Monday. “As long as these trends hold … I could see the state reaching that 3% level in one or two years for sure.”

His confidence is based on how many Coloradans are now part of the state’s labor force, which is larger than ever with more people employed or looking for work. The state’s labor force participation rate was 68.5% in January, or one-tenth of a percentage point higher than in February 2020.

“Colorado’s labor force grew by over 17,000 in January. And since July of 2020 the state has added over 180,000 individuals to the labor force,” Gedney said. “On an annual basis, Colorado’s labor force participation rate increased from 67.4% in 2020 to 68.2% in 2021. That ranked as the fourth highest in the U.S. last year.”

By comparison, the U.S. rate last year was 61.7%.

While more people are part of the state’s labor force, Bureau of Labor Statistics data shows there are still around 132,000 Coloradans who are unemployed, compared with 86,000 who were unemployed in February 2020.

That only counts people who are working or actively looking for a job, said Steven Byers, a senior economist for Common Sense Institute, a Greenwood Village think tank focused on the state’s fiscal policies.

“Some people would say that understates or overstates the true

Utilities’ expenses and investments are recovered through rate cases. The PUC reviews those costs to assure they are appropriate and then sets an appropriate return on the investments the company has made. In this case, for example, Xcel Energy asked for a 10% return on investment and the settlement agreement reduced it to 9.3%.

In addition to the electricity rate increase Xcel Energy also is asking for a temporary rate increase to recoup $550 million in extra electric and natural gas costs incurred as a result of a severe winter storm in February 2021, which led to a spike in natural gas prices.

unemployment rate depending on which way you go,” Byers said. “But when people take themselves out of the labor force and they’re no longer looking, that impacts those numbers. But the way that unemployment is measured has been constant for a long time. They don’t change the methodology so it’s consistent over time for what it measures.”

The state’s unemployment rate fell from 4.2% in December, a rate that was revised downward from 4.8%, according to labor officials. Colorado’s January rate is also close to the U.S. unemployment rate of 4.0% in January.

The falling unemployment rate reflects more people returning to work, especially mothers who had dropped out of the workforce early on, likely to deal with their children and remote schooling or lack of child care options during the pandemic.

Byers is among economists keeping an eye on rising inflation and its impact on small businesses and consumer spending habits.

“One other thing that we are kind of concerned about, though, is the house prices have just gotten exorbitant,” he said. “The question would be, is it just going to end up being a disadvantage to Colorado employers being able to lure people here and bring them in from out of state?

That’s an area that is of concern as well.”

But Colorado’s pandemic economy hasn’t fully recovered yet, said Kathy A. White, executive director of Colorado Fiscal Institute, an The company, the state’s largest utility with more than 3 million electricity and natural gas customers, has also filed an overall natural gas rate case, seeking an $8.14 increase in the average bill over three years.

The three rate cases could raise the average Xcel Energy utility bill by $16.49 by the end of the year.

One element in the settlement agreement that the commission did not accept Wednesday was the method for recovering costs and the portion of the plant that still had not been amortized or paid off from the retirement of a coal-fired unit at the Craig Power Plant and two coalfired units at the Hayden Station.

Both coal-burning stations are to be shut down by 2028.

Xcel Energy has put the cost of decommissioning and amortizing the

organization that also focuses on fiscal policy.

“Colorado has recovered all but 5,500 jobs lost during the pandemic, but it needs another 38,100 jobs in order to keep up with the 1.4% growth in population that the state has experienced in the 23 months since the recession began,” White said in an email.

“Also, the fastest job recovery happened in industries with high income earners and lagged in industries with lower pay. poor quality jobs,” she added. “Those industries tend to have a higher percentage of women and people of color, who again, entered the pandemic with higher rates of unemployment and lower earnings. In short, the recovery has been uneven, despite these broad indicators, and so policymakers should be targeting resources and aid to the people who need it the most.”

There’s also uneven recovery in certain parts of the state. Strong job growth in Grand Junction and Colorado Springs amounted to job recovery rates of 124% and 113%, respectively. But the Greeley region has recovered just 44% of the jobs lost in the early pandemic.

That’s due to Greeley’s high concentration of oil and gas, an industry that hasn’t recovered as fast as the leisure and hospitality industry or the professional and business services field, Gedney said. But Greeley’s a small part of the state. It lost roughly 11,700 jobs at the start of the pandemic and has regained 5,100. The Denver area lost 199,600 and has recovered 196,100.

“The state’s recovery rate is going to trend pretty closely with Denver’s, as that (region) represents over half of the state’s employment,” Gedney said.

He added, “There’s still some room in the unemployment rate, but I think the unemployment rate is going to drop relatively quickly in 2022 as there’s still a huge demand for labor and for filling jobs.”

The costs for the two Hayden units is $77.6 million.

Rather than settling on any cost recovery method right now, Gavin and Commissioner Megan Gilman said they wanted a full review of options, particularly the use of low-cost bonds known as securitization.

“It is important for us to consider all the options,” Gilman said. “We owe it to the ratepayers to understand all the options.”

Garcia is new Brantner Elementary School principal STAFF REPORT

Heather Garcia is the new principal at Brantner Elementary School, Thornton.

27J Schools Superintendent Chris Fiedler made the announcement earlier this month.

“I’m very excited to be the new principal of Brantner Elementary School. Branter Garcia is a wonderful community of people that cares deeply about children,” Garcia said in a statement. “I can’t wait to join them in their quest to take learning to the next level.”

Garcia, an 18-year veteran of 27J Schools, started her career in the district as a teacher at Belle Creek Charter School, where she worked for 10 years as a music teacher and band director.

Her next role was at Northeast Elementary School where she came on board as a music teacher, a position she held for three years. She was then promoted to Dean in 2017 and held that job for two years. In 2019, Garica was named the school’s assistant principal.

Her experience as a classroom teacher and school administrator sharpened her leadership and instructional skills, areas of expertise needed to be a successful principal, the statement said.

Garcia said she values people and genuinely wants to understand their perspectives, so she makes decisions that honor her stakeholder groups while achieving her school’s mission and goals.

“What we do matters. Each and every day, we have an opportunity to empower students to own their thinking and learning,” Garcia said in the statement. “We work side-byside with parents who entrust us with their most precious resource – their child. It’s essential that we have a strong, trusting relationship with all parents to ensure we’re working in harmony to support student growth.”

The statement went on to say Garcia has a reputation for being a problem-solver, systems-thinker, collaborative leader and an astute academic and instructional leader who is skilled at using data to drive decisions and to continuously improve her school’s academic performance.

She begins her new position on July 1.

Lawmakers seek to fix rejected conservation easements

BY MICHAEL BOOTH THE COLORADO SUN

Persistent state legislators are once again hoping to compensate Colorado landowners whose conservation easement tax credits were rejected and clawed back years ago, this time with a bill whose price tag to the treasury would be about $155 million.

The effort by Sens. Faith Winter, a Westminster Democrat, and Cleave Simpson, an Alamosa Republican, revives a years-long effort to repay family ranchers and farmers who say they signed conservation easements in good faith only to have them rejected by state revenue officials who determined they were overvalued. The sponsors say they have put in more conditions since last year’s failed $149 million payback bill, including new limits on the easements’ value and who can still claim them.

“We’ve been down that road,” Simpson said. “So let’s try to focus this in a little different direction.”

Last year, when a similar bill flew through the Senate and died in a House committee, Winter said, “members still had concerns around these guardrails and making sure that we’re really addressing the family farms and ranches and not the speculators.”

And this year, Winter said, the legislature has more revenue to work with.

“So I think we’ll be more successful,” she said. The new bill, Senate Bill 119, will first appear at the Senate Finance Committee on March 16.

Mark Weston, a prominent critic of the past payback attempts said this

year’s bill does appear to have meaningful changes “preventing some of the worst abusers from qualifying” for repayment of credits.

Changes include a requirement that families need to have owned the land for three years before applying for the initial tax credits, and capping tax credits at 250% of the purchase price of the land. That will cut out some speculators who tried to manipulate the system to get lucrative tax credits, without any real interest in the land or its conservation value, said Weston, an appraiser who opposes repayment and who reviewed many of the denied claims as the first director of the state Division of Conservation.

It’s important for legislators and taxpayers to understand, Weston said, that “these credits were not disallowed arbitrarily by the Department of Revenue, but were scrutinized by a governor-appointed expert commission, qualified appraisal staff within the Division of Real Estate, along with the number crunchers in the Department of Revenue.”

Fixing past mistakes The 2022 bill is the latest attempt to restore controversial easement tax credits issued from 2000 to 2013, some of which investigators called spurious and the Colorado Department of Revenue denied after reviews by teams of appraisers.

The conservation easements were originally intended to protect natural spaces while compensating family farmers and other longtime landowners for giving up their rights to

develop the property. An appraiser estimated the value of the land and development rights, and the state issued tax credits that allowed the landowner to offset other taxes or get paid cash by investors who bought the credits.

But the revenue department and many in the appraiser community said that in some cases unscrupulous investment advisers created partnerships or family groups to claim lucrative, overvalued credits for development that never would have happened. In one disputed case, a piece of land near Lamar that sold for $776,000 appeared to qualify for easement credits of $8 million.

Some farming and ranching families have for more than a decade protested that they signed up for the earliest iterations of conservation easements in good faith to help save their family business and pay tax bills. They emphasize that the federal Internal Revenue Service allowed the tax credits even when state officials denied them and demanded repayment.

The disputes eventually involved more than 800 cases and hundreds of millions of dollars in contested credits. Some families say paying back the credits or being confronted by investors who bought the rejected credits has ruined their lives. The fiscal note for the new bill says the total of disallowed credits from 2000 to 2013 is now about $177.7 million. Some cases have been resolved or settled.

This year’s bill calls for a newly created ombudsman in the state Division

of Conservation to resolve disputes between parties who may be claiming the same credits.

The bill would spend $5.8 million in the first year to hire about 17 full time positions to administer the credit disputes. Based on the percentage of credit holders expected to apply, restoring the credits would cost the general fund another $66.6 million the first year, and up to $88.8 million in the second year.

The Colorado system for conservation easement tax has been tweaked multiple times since the period when officials say it was abused and families said they were unfairly denied.

Last year, the legislature passed a bill sought by conservation groups that increased the amount of tax credit on new easements to 90% of the donated value, and added water conservation groups and others among those who could apply for credits.

That bill was initially hailed as a companion to last year’s attempt at restoring credits to past denied credit holders. But the credit-restoration bill died in its second House committee vote on party lines dominated by Democrats, in what rural supporters called “pulling the football” after months of negotiations.

Douglas County Schools superintendent search is a charade

T

he controlling conservative majority of the Douglas County School District Board of Education is playing fast and CROSS loose in their new superintendent of CURRENTS schools recruitment/selection process.

While it does not directly affect us up here on the northern side of the Denver metro, I still hate to see Bill Christopher a charade being pulled by an elected governing body. Let me say that I have nothing against Erin Kane or Danny Winsor who are the two “finalists” which the Board majority had selected to go through their selection process. However, it should be noted that both finalists are long-time leaders in the Douglas County School District.

My point is that you cannot do thorough recruitment on a national basis to attract the best-qualified candidates to apply. Again, without being demeaning to Kane and Winsor, perhaps the strategy of the

four conservatives was not to attempt to attract the best candidates to the job, but to “go local.” After all, the way these Board members treated the former Superintendent of Schools Corey Wise, you would have to wonder who would want to saddle up to this conservative group.

Congresswoman Lauren Boebert is a Colorado disgrace U.S. House Representative Lauren Boebert has outdone herself this time.

While the conservatives in the 3rd Congressional District may be hooting and hollowing about her conduct at the President’s State of the Union address, I for one found it to be deplorable. She is a disgrace to our state.

Everyone is entitled to express their opinions on whatever issue or topic. But please have the common sense to select when and where you express yourself. Yelling and disrupting President Biden’s speech, to reference the 13 service members who died during the Afghanistan evacuation of American troops, was not the time or place to make her point.

U.S. Senator Lindsay Graham said it best when he said to Boebert and Marjorie Taylor Greene “shut up.” Both House of Representatives members should apologize to President Biden for their respective disruptive remarks. It is truly sad to see how civil discourse in America has gone down the toilet, especially among some elected officials.

Dolly Parton Imagination Library expands throughout Adams County Are you familiar with the Dolly

Parton Imagination Library Program? Thanks to the Westminster Rotary Club under the leadership of Roger Gudenkauf, the program has expanded leaps and bounds since its start in 2012.

The program targets kids from birth until they begin school or age five who receive high-quality books appropriate for their age each month throughout the year.

The Westminster Rotary Club’s goal is to have all kids in Adams County achieve Kindergarten Literacy Readiness.

Among affiliates and community partners, these Rotarians lead the state in the number of books provided to kids. In their initial year, 525 books were distributed.

By 2018, the distribution had reached 8,308. By 2021, the club reached 39,580 books being enjoyed by youngsters in the program.

For 2022, the goal is based on the funding of $280,000. Starting with the 2021-2022 fiscal year, the State of Colorado is matching the dollar amount raised by Westminster Rotary and its partners.

Empowering women farmers with economic, social and cultural intention

T

he “face” of agriculture is changing, as women farmers are bringing entrepreneurial, innovative and relational approaches to GUEST farming.

Women are often COLUMN recognized as Mary Kraft being collaborative with tremendous initiative, intention and having, no surprise, strong maternal instincts. These are personal values that are helping nurture Colorado’s agriculture industry.

Women farmers continue to break through traditional barriers to build successful agricultural operations. In fact, according to a 2017 National Census of Agriculture, women’s industry roles are increasing with more than 38 percent of farms and ranches operated by women nationally. Colorado sets a strong pace with women running 42 percent of farms and ranches.

Those increases came in part due to technology that no longer requires brute force and, in a greater part, because women recognize they can be the leader, business

head and pacesetter. That’s good news for all of us.

I grew up on a farm, but I felt like I would never have an opportunity to run our dairy because I am female. So, I used higher education, mentoring, professional development and investing with my husband to help our own dairy farm continue to grow. Perhaps my journey can help other women who play a key role in agricultural production — or want to — and who bring balance to the industry and, of course, to the table. I also understand firsthand the value of empowering and giving back to other women in agriculture.

Women are proud of our contributions to feeding the world and we still have a lot to do! As we celebrate Women’s History Month, empower yourself with the tools to be successful leaders and land stewards. Encourage each other to lead with social and cultural intention — our trademark qualities — as we enhance the ag industry. It’s important that we use all the resources that are available in agriculture.

Here’s how:

Get involved: Read, listen, learn and stay educated on agriculture, from finances, technology and operations and other areas that affect your farm. There are professional associations for each commodity, as well as member-based ag organizations, such as Colorado Proud, that offer educational workshops, webinars and marketing support. The world is run by those who show up, so show up.

Find resources: Women-centric agriculture organizations like CommonGround and Annie’s Project, as well as agriculture programs through Colorado State University and community colleges, have many classes and opportunities to advance learning and skillsets. The focus on farm resources, conservation, business planning, finance and other practices helps women to be successful ag professionals now and for many generations. Our learning must be life-long.

Collaborate and mentor: We can learn a lot from each other. Collaboration produces great results with impact. Reach out to other women farmers and ranchers for

informal idea-sharing and connection. For more formal coaching and guidance, pursue mentorships and consider mentoring others. This helps women today, as well as the next generation. Realize you have something valuable to contribute and you need to cultivate it.

Let’s keep helping each other. We need to balance agriculture into a well-rounded, highly productive industry. After all, one horse can’t pull a heavy load; but two together can, and they complement each other with different perspectives leading to impactful solutions.

We have more to do, more to learn, and more to bring to our Colorado agriculture industry. Let’s go the rest of the way together by empowering women to succeed, thrive and (literally!) grow.

Access to printed material improves reading achievement Studies have shown that the most successful way to improve reading achievement for low-income children is to increase their access to printed material. Communities ranking high in achievement tests have several factors in common: an abundance of books in public libraries, easy access to books in the community-at-large and a large

number of textbooks per student.

According to Roger Gudenkauf during his presentation to the Northglenn City Council, 61% of low-income families have no books in their homes for their children.

Children in low-income families lack essential one-on-one reading time. The McQuillan Study showed that the average child growing up in a middle-class family has been exposed to 1,000-1,700 hours of oneon-one picture book reading. This compares to only 25 hours for average children in less economically stable families.

Northglenn’s success in books distributed In Northglenn’s case, the city’s funding of $5,000 is covering 44% of the cost to provide books to 440 Northglenn kids. It is estimated that there are approximately 3,300 Northglenn children under the age of five.

Gudenkauf believes the club can enroll 70% of these kiddos in 2022.

Kudos to the Dolly Parton Imagination Library Program and the Westminster Rotary Club for getting books into the hands of kids less advantaged throughout Adams County. Reading skills are so fundamental to learning which we all use throughout our whole lives.

fiscal template. So, governmental units will soon be underway aligning strategic plans with revenue estimates and projected costs for their proposed budgets for the calendar year 2023.

In Westminster’s case, they are showing a public hearing on the proposed budget and to hear citizen requests at their regular meeting on September 12.

If you have a budget request, I encourage you to write it up and send it to the city manager’s office of whatever city in which you reside earlier than the public hearing date to hear requests.

This is helpful to get the request submitted earlier so staff has more time to analyze and cost out the requests. Adoption of the ensuing year’s budget normally comes in the month of October. So, if you want more street repairs, another code enforcement officer, more training for police officers or perhaps you believe less personnel is needed in a given city department, let your voice be heard via a timely written request.

An analysis of a national data set of nearly 100,000 U.S. schoolchildren per J. McQuillan found that access to printed materials-and not poverty — is the “critical variable affecting reading acquisition.”

Thus, the Dolly Parton Imagination Library Program focuses on getting books into the hands of kids from birth to age five.

Street signs can clear up confusion about what jurisdiction someone is in, but they also can reveal deeper stories about a particular area. Here’s a look at some of the eye-catching signs across metro Denver counties and what you might not know about the history behind some of them.

Street signs carry little-known history in metro Denver counties

f you’ve ever sat at a red light in rush-hour traffic in the Denver metro area, you may have wondered about the meaning behind the different logos and colors on nearby street signs.

In the City of Denver, the signs are simple enough — the logo of mountains and the sky sit above the name “Denver.”

But some signs have a different logo even though they’re also in Denver.

In the southeast suburbs, drivers might think they’re in Aurora until the green signs on side streets start to look a bit different.

And in Adams County, the signs sometimes feature an American flag image to discourage people from firing gunshots at the signs.

Denver mansions In east Denver, there are many normal-sounding street names: Elm Street.

Birch Street. Cedar Avenue.

And then, there’s Shangri La Drive.

A tiny, tucked-away road that almost forms a half loop off of Leetsdale Drive near Colorado Boulevard, Shangri La Drive was apparently named by Harry Huffman, a movietheater and liquor-distribution magnate who had a mansion built on the hill.

The road was named to honor the impressive home, which was modeled after the Shangri-La lamasery — a monastery of lamas — featured in the popular 1930s movie “Lost Horizon.” That’s according to the book, “Denver Streets,” by local historian Phil Goodstein, as cited

by Denver city staff.

And that’s not the only mansion in that area.

More difficult to see from the street is the mansion known as “Cableland” on Shangri La Drive. It’s the former home of Bill Daniels, the wealthy cabletelevision businessman and philanthropist.

Before he died, Daniels donated Cableland to the City of Denver in 1998, partly to serve as the official Denver mayor’s residence. No mayor has ever chosen to live there, but the mansion is used for official city events and city meetings and is made available for other events, including fundraisers and other gatherings held by nonprofits and qualified charitable organizations.

Denver’s dual logos The use of Denver’s newer logo for certain street signs — the “D” logo with a building, the sun and mountains within the D — doesn’t carry any particular meaning that’s different from the old logo, which is two red mountains outlined in white, with a blue sky and

yellow sun, all above the word “Denver.”

Denver began using signs with the “D” in 2010, according to Vanessa Lacayo, a city spokesperson. The city still has some signs with the older logo on it.

“We try to be good stewards with city dollars, so we don’t replace things that don’t need to be replaced and try to honor the life cycle of the material and replace things as they fail,” Lacayo said.

Don’t mistake Adams County A large chunk of the map directly north of Denver — roughly north of 52nd Avenue — contains buildings that may have addresses that are listed as being in Denver even though they’re in unincorporated Adams County.

“Unincorporated” means an area is not within a city or town and is generally overseen by a county government.

The addresses are marked as “Denver” because the city listed with a property’s mailing address is based on zip codes that are used by post offices rather than being based on city boundaries, said Christa Bruning, Adams County spokesperson.

In those unincorporated areas north of Denver, you’ll see street signs with the A-shaped Adams County logo.

In some parts of Adams County, street signs bear images of the American flag to deter people from shooting signs with bullets.

“American flags are placed on signs in some areas as a mitigation measure where we have experienced issues with signs being shot,” the county said in a statement. “The flags have been successful as many residents seem disinclined to shoot signs

displaying the American flag.”

A previous Adams County logo was established in 1985 and was the logo used on street signs until the current logo was designed and implemented in August 2009, according to the county.

A community with gates in Littleton If you drive far enough northwest in the City of Littleton, you’ll run into an area called Bow Mar South, near the small Town of Bow Mar. But Bow Mar South is a neighborhood, not a municipality, even though it has its own logo on street signs.

For example, the logo of a bird at Bell Flower Drive and Bowles Avenue denotes the area is within the Bow Mar South Homeowners Association, according to Tim Weaver, traffic analyst for Littleton.

“We used to put different items on signs when a neighborhood asked for them,” a statement from Littleton city staff said.

Decades ago, Littleton annexed land in Bow Mar South, meaning it brought it into the Littleton city boundaries.

Littleton annexed the area that is managed by the Bow Mar South homeowners’ association in 1973, according to Littleton city staff. A small part of the association area is outside of Littleton, including a few lots in the northwest part of the subdivision, Weaver said.

The area isn’t just another neighborhood.

It includes gates on Blue Sage Drive that close to block traffic.

Construction of the traffic gates was partly funded by the City of Littleton, and the city and HOA operate the gates together, according to city staff.

Other gates that restrict or block traffic to or within neighborhoods in Littleton sit in Coventry and The Greens, according to city staff.

A week of top-notch musical options

I

don’t know how it happened, whether it’s just the result of musicians making up for about two years of missed touring, good karma returning or just how it crumbles, cookie-wise, but Denver and the surrounding areas are spoiled with a bevy of fantastic concert options. So many that I’m devoting my entire column to five of the best bets for an evening out.

Any live music fan will tell you that there’s nothing like a good homecoming show. The atmosphere is always a bit more electric when the audience recognizes the performers as their people.

It’s been six years since the Colorado Jazz Repertory Orchestra (CJRO) played the Lone Tree Arts Center, 10075 Commons St., but that time afield ends at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, March 26 with Back by Popular Demand: The CJRO Returns.

“We got our start at the Lone Tree Arts Center and were there for about two-and-a-half years,” said Art Bouton, the bandleader who founded the orchestra in 2012.

“In that time, we’ve turned from a one-person shop to an organization that has a payroll that can pay the best professional musicians to perform.”

The reintroduction show will feature classic big band numbers like “Take the `A’ Train,” “You Make Me Feel So Young,” “Moanin,” and “More Today Than Yesterday,” as well as some new arrangements featuring the work

of artistic and music director Drew Zaremba. Vocalist Marion Powers will be featured in the concert, which Bouton said will show how much the orchestra’s skill has grown.

“It means a tremendous amount Clarke Reader to come back to Lone Tree, especially because on the jazz side, we’re the professional equivalent of the Colorado Symphony,” he said. “If you’re a lover of classic big band or jazz of any time, you’ll really be pleased with this concert.”

COMING ATTRACTIONS

John Mayer at the Ball Arena John Mayer is one of those artists we just take for granted these days, which he seems to enjoy.

He’s embraced all his influences and interests, channeling them into the simultaneously sincere and winking 2021 album, “Sob Rock.” But don’t let all that make you forget he’s also a scorchingly good guitarist, who weaves blues, folk and pop into his work.

After several years touring with Dead & Company (and some COVID-related delays), Mayer is

back hitting the road in support of his solo work and stops by the Ball Arena, 1000 Chopper Circle in Denver, at 7:30 p.m. on Sunday, March 27.

Tyler, The Creator and Vince Staples at Ball Arena Over the last 15 years or so, Tyler the Creator and Vince Staples have been making some of the most adventurous, forwardlooking rap in the genre, and in 2021, both shared top-notch albums.

Tyler’s “Call Me If You Get Lost” is one of his best and most beautiful records yet and Staples’ selftitled latest effort showcases his lyrical power while using beats both skeletal and haunting.

People looking for an example of hip-hop mainstays who are still evolving and getting better as a result, shouldn’t miss Tyler, Staples, Kali Uchis and Teezo Touchdown at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, March 29 at Ball Arena, 1000 Chopper Circle in Denver.

For information and tickets, visit www.ticketmaster.com.

Nation of Language at the Bluebird Theater New York’s Nation of Language are one of the best modern purveyors of the kind of new wave music that made some of the best music of the 1980s. But there’s nothing derivative about

their music and the way they use synths is both propulsive and groovy.

On both of their two albums - including last year’s stellar “A Way Forward” - the group has produced collections of songs that are so good they both sound like greatest hits records. They’re stopping by the Bluebird Theater, 3317 E. Colfax Ave. in Denver at 8 p.m. on Tuesday, March 29, which is the perfect venue for their tunes. Get tickets at www.ticketmaster.com.

Beach House at the Mission Ballroom I’m not sure when the exact point is that a band turns into a hall-of-fame band, but with nearly 10 albums in about 15 years, Baltimore’s Beach House work like they’re racing to build one of the best discographies in indie rock.

The duo - Victoria Legrand and Alex Scally - have consistently explored the fuzzy, reverb-drenched reaches of their sound and, in the process, created some startingly lovely music.

In February the band released “Once Twice Melody,” one of their most luminous albums yet.

You can catch them at 8 p.m. on Wednesday, March 30 at the Mission Ballroom, 4242 Wynkoop St. in Denver.

have street signs that are white and include the City of Littleton logo.

Littleton first began installing the white street signs with the logo in 2015, according to staff.

The city decided to install the white street signs with the logo in an effort to help people tell which areas are in the city and which are not, Weaver said.

The new signs were also rolled out in an effort to “show our new branding,” Weaver said.

Similar to the case of Denver addresses popping up in Adams County, it can be confusing to tell what is and isn’t in Littleton because many properties’ mailing addresses in south Jefferson County are listed as being in “Littleton” even though Littleton is mostly contained within Arapahoe County.

Asked whether Jefferson County has considered putting its county logo on street signs in unincorporated areas to help clear up that confusion, the county said in a statement: “The county has the capability of putting logos on street name signs; however, there is a significant cost in terms of material and labor to this effort. Each of the cities within Jefferson County utilize logos on their street-name signs, helping a traveler to know when they are within a municipality within the county or within an unincorporated area within the county.”

Parts of east Centennial are sandwiched between parts of Aurora, and some portions of unincorporated Arapahoe County sit in that area too.

Some streets that sit outside of city boundaries have been getting marked with the county’s logo,

generally in recent years, said Luc Hatlestad, county spokesperson.

“There may have been logos on signs here and there prior to 2012, but putting logos on street signs wasn’t county procedure until around 2012,” Hatlestad said.

‘Identity’ in Englewood Englewood updated its official city logo in recent years from the green circular symbol to the new symbol with leaves — a change that led to some street signs in the city having

“The current logo was adopted in late 2015 following input from the 2014 citizens survey and from citizen input received through the Englewood Forward process,” said Christopher Harguth, city spokesperson.

Phamaly Theatre’ Spitfire Grill coming to Northglenn

BY STAFF REPORT SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA

Denver’s premier disability-affirmative theatre, Phamaly Theatre, is proud to present “The Spitfire Grill” which will be taken on tour throughout the Denver Metro Area.

Locally, the company will present performances through April 3 at Northglenn’s Parson’s Theater.

Performances at the Lone Tree Arts Center and the Arvada Center are set for April and May. This comforting and folksy musical will get your toes tapping as you enter a world of hope, redemption and some good ol’ breakfast.

The story follows Percy, a young woman with a complicated past who looking to start a new life in a small Wisconsin town that has seen better days. She finds work at The Spitfire Grill, a rundown diner with a disenfranchised proprietor. Percy is able to revitalize the grill and, in turn, the community.

Now in its 33rd season, Phamaly Theatre Company is Denver’s premiere disability-affirmative theatre company, producing professional theatre exclusively casting artists with

and open space, and transportation.

“Results indicated many residents were looking for an updated community identity,” Harguth said.

Updating the city logo on overhead street signs, such as those on traffic signals, will be complete in 2022, and the updating of all the ground-mounted streets signs was completed in 2021, according to Harguth.

One of the notable areas with street signs that don’t bear a local government’s logo is the Arapahoe Acres neighborhoodin Englewood, which has wooden street signs that are unique to that neighborhood.

A sign near traffic signals, pictured March 14, says “Blue Sage closed when flashing.” The Bow Mar South area includes gates that close in order to block traffic.

A small exception in Centennial Drivers in the east Centennial area may notice another area that could add to confusion about boundaries — the Greenfield neighborhood along Smoky Hill Road.

The neighborhood has its own logo on street signs even within Centennial’s city boundaries.

The signs are connected to the local metro district, according to Anna Bunce, Centennial traffic engineer.

“The original street signs installed with the construction of this neighborhood (or) metro district, which included the kites (logo), predate the city’s incorporation. Our best guess is that the signage was installed around 1996 (to) 1998,” Bunce said.

Centennial was legally established as a city, or “incorporated,” in 2001.

In general the city of Centennial started installing Centennial-logo street signs that are blue rather than green in

2013, according to Bunce.

When asked why the city made that change, Bunce said, “This predates existing (city) staff, but our best guess is related to more effective branding and differentiation for Centennial. With the nature of Centennial’s boundaries, this is an effective way to communicate and reinforce where someone may be in terms of jurisdiction.”

Douglas County adds logo Douglas County had no logo on street-name signs prior to an in-house competition for a new Douglas County logo that occurred in the early to mid1990s, according to Wendy Holmes, county spokesperson. The winning logo was the early “DC” and “ribbons” design seen in the county’s logo today.

“We place logos on most of the street-name signs in unincorporated streets and roads maintained by Douglas County,” Holmes said. “Logos on street-name signs are also useful as they indicate ownership of the roads for law enforcement personnel and road maintenance crews throughout the metro area and Douglas County.”

Different in Weld Weld County doesn’t typically put a logo on road-number signs in unincorporated Weld County, according to Jennifer Finch, spokesperson for the county.

“However, some of the signs — older signs — are a particular shape and will say ‘WCR’” and a number, Finch said. “There are county logos, specific to the project, found on some Highway 85 signs — also called the Centennial Highway in Weld County — and there are signs with the Weld County Road 49 logo along that road as well to commemorate that special project.”

Clear Creek supports Mount Blue Sky petition Federal board has final decision on Mount Evans renaming issue

BY CORINNE WESTEMAN CWESTEMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Clear Creek officials support renaming Mount Evans to Mount Blue Sky. In a March 15 meeting, the Clear Creek Board of County Commissioners voted 2-0 to register its support for the Mount Blue Sky petition. Commissioners Randy Wheelock and George Marlin were in favor, and Commissioner Sean Wood abstained.

The mountain is named for Colorado’s second territorial governor, John Evans, who’s believed to have authorized the Sand Creek Massacre against the Cheyenne and Arapaho people. He was forced to resign in its aftermath.

Additionally, leading up to the Sand Creek Massacre in November 1864, John Evans issued proclamations authorizing Colorado settlers to “kill and destroy ... all hostile Indians,” which Colorado Gov. Jared Polis rescinded last year.

There are five official renaming petitions: Mount Cheyenne-Arapaho, Mount Blue Sky, Mount Rosalie, Mount Soule, and Mount Evans but redesignating the namesake as Anne Evans.

The petitions are expected to be addressed by the Colorado Geographic Naming Advisory Board later this year. The board and the governor will make recommendations to the U.S. Board on Geographic Names, which has final say on which, if any, petition will be approved.

Leading up to the March 15 meeting, the Clear Creek commissioners received a variety of verbal and written public comment. Dozens supported Mount Blue Sky or the other petitions; some even suggested their own name; but many others opposed a name change entirely.

Wheelock and Marlin both believed the mountain should be renamed, given John Evans’ ac-

tions against Colorado’s indigenous people.

“It’s a mistake,” Marlin said of naming the mountain after John Evans. “And it’s a mistake that we can correct. … The name Mount Evans is inflicting harm today, and I think we should stop.”

‘A complicated, malleable thing’ Wood contrasted the Mount Evans’ renaming discussion with last year’s process for the Clear Creek County peak now called Mestaa’ehehe Mountain. Its previous name was a derogatory word, and it was renamed to honor Owl Woman, a notable Cheyenne figure.

With Mestaa’ehehe Mountain, he said, there was only one renaming petition, and that consensus helped with the process. For Mount Evans, though, there are five official petitions and plenty of other suggestions.

Wood also brought up Evans’ connection to the Sand Creek Massacre, saying academic studies by the University of Denver and Northwestern University contested that Evans authorized it or knew about it. John Evans was a founder of both universities.

Wood felt it was unfair for Clear Creek County to weigh in about a matter that happened more than 150 years ago with little direction, saying, “We’d be changing historical names based on accusations against one man. … What we did fell far short of what anyone would call due process.”

While Wood agreed it was a good conversation to have, he also felt he shouldn’t weigh in on it.

“History is a complicated, malleable thing,” Wood said, quoting Ken Burns’ documentary on the Sand Creek Massacre. “And how we remember our history is part of our history.”

Why Mount Blue Sky? Marlin described how he supported the Mount Blue Sky petition as a unifying name for all stakeholders.

Not only is the name significant to the Cheyenne and Arapaho people, he noted, but it also reflects the mountain’s natural beauty.

Wheelock agreed, noting how those from the Southern Cheyenne and Arapaho Tribes chose the English words ‘blue sky’ so it’d be “as educational as possible to the broadest population.”

Wheelock commented how, leading up to the March 15 meeting, he supported the tribal-based petitions, Mount Blue Sky and Mount Cheyenne-Arapaho. The latter was proposed by Otto Braided Hair, Jr. of the Northern Cheyenne Tribe.

However, he noted during the March 15 meeting how the Southern Ute Indian Tribe and the Ute Mountain Ute Tribe recently supported the Mount Blue Sky petition.

Thus, he felt comfortable voicing his support for Mount Blue Sky as well.

The Ute Indian Tribe — commonly called the Northern Ute Tribe — and the Northern Arapaho Tribe haven’t weighed in yet, he clarified, but all 574 federally recognized tribes will be consulted by the USBGN. Even if the mountain is renamed, Wheelock said it’ll be meaningless without accompanying educational efforts.

The commissioners thanked all the stakeholders and members of the public for their participation in the process, with Wood noting how at least 50 people were attending March 15’s virtual meeting.

“We appreciate everyone’s time and energy,” Wood said.

Tickets loom for mountain toll violators State to begin citing drivers who illegally use I-70 mountain express toll lanes

BY JESSE PAUL THE COLORADO SUN

Motorists who drive in the Interstate 70 mountain express toll lanes in Clear Creek County when they are closed and supposed to be serving as the emergency shoulder will face a $250 fine starting in August.

Gov. Jared Polis on March 15 signed House Bill 1074 into law letting the Colorado Department of Transportation use the license plate cameras used to collect tolls when the I-70 mountain express lanes are open to also ticket motorists driving in the lane when it is closed.

There are now express toll lanes across Colorado, but unlike the others, the ones on I-70 through Clear Creek County cannot be open all of the time. That’s because the mountain express lanes are narrower than a traditional interstate lane.

The 13-mile lane from Empire to Idaho Springs opened in 2015 and a westbound express toll lane opened along the same stretch last year.

In 2020, nearly 50,000 motorists drove in the eastbound I-70 express toll lane when it was closed, according to state data.

The cameras will also be used to ticket drivers in the toll lanes towing trailers or who are behind the

wheel of a tractor trailer. Both types of vehicles are prohibited from traveling in the narrow express lanes.

Offenders will be mailed a ticket just as they are when they are caught running a red-light camera in downtown Denver.

Authorities have been unable to enforce the toll lanes’ closure because the lanes are too narrow to allow an officer to wait and catch scofflaws.

The express lanes are narrower because CDOT opted to use the existing width of the roadway to create toll lanes instead of widening the interstate, which would have been more costly and had

more environmental impacts.

Because the lanes are so narrow, Colorado had to make a deal with federal regulators limiting the amount of time they can be open each year. The eastbound express lane can be open a maximum of 100 days a year for no more than 1,168 hours annually. The westbound express lane can be open for no more than 125 days a year and no more than 965 hours annually.

CDOT opens the lanes during peak traffic periods, and the toll changes based on demand.

CDOT says the eastbound express lane has been a success at reduc-

ing drive times on the busy stretch, but people illegally traveling in it, officials say, poses a big risk of a serious crash.

House Bill 1074 was sponsored by Democratic state Rep. Judy Amabile, of Boulder, and Republican state Sen. Dennis Hisey, of El Paso County.

Mindset, faith help teen thrive after spinal cord injury

BY JORDAN AMES, CRAIG HOSPITAL SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA

Noble Haskell doesn’t shy away from a challenge.

The high-school junior from Centennial (his father, Eli, coached Brighton High School’s basketball and golf teams), finds joy in pushing through despite pain. As a track and cross country running standout, he often pushed himself to the physical limit in pursuit of his dream of receiving an (NCAA) Division One college scholarship.

“Halfway through a 5K, I often felt like giving up. It was tough, but knowing I would be able to do it made me feel good,” he says.

This never-give-up mindset has helped him face the biggest challenge of his life: rehabilitating from a spinal cord injury.

In the week between the end of track season and the beginning of cross country preseason, Noble and his friends took a road trip to Branson, Missouri. On their way back, they drove through a significant rainstorm. Near Russell, Kansas, they were struck from behind by another driver. Noble’s neck was broken at the C5 level, damaging his spinal cord.

Noble was flown to Wichita, where he had two emergency surgeries to fuse his vertebrae. His mom received a call and drove through the night to reach his bedside.

“The whole time I was driving, I felt that God kept saying, ‘Noble’s going to run again. He’s going to be OK,’” she says.

After a month in the ICU battling complications, Noble was flown from Wichita to Denver and transferred to Craig Hospital for rehabilitation.

On the first evening at Craig, his room filled with other teenage patients in the Teen Rehab at Craig (TRAC) program. “It was comforting to know that there were people my age who seemed to be having a good time. I knew I’d be able to relate to them.”

Noble was quickly plunged into an intense therapy program.

Respiratory therapists helped him wean off a ventilator. Noble especially enjoyed physical therapy, given his love of working out. He initially only had function above his level of injury but soon began to get feeling back in his triceps; then he was able to regain slight wrist function, then move a toe.

“As soon as we started to see those wins, things started to snowball in the right direction,” he says. “I know that not everyone gets this, and I don’t take it lightly. I’m extremely grateful.”

In addition to his physical recov-

ery, Craig’s therapies helped him with his social and psychological recoveries.

Laura Magnuson and Cory Wendling, Craig’s teachers, helped him stay on track with school.

Before his injury, Noble had been a motivated student, and he didn’t want to fall behind. Laura and Cory communicated with his high-school counselor (Haskell attends Smoky Hill High School), teachers and district representatives and helped him work through school assignments.

Through the donor-funded SCI Scholars Fund, Noble received assistive technology tools, like a voiceto-text system, that allowed him to complete assignments and use a computer on his own.

Noble’s recreational therapist, Jess Klamut, helped him embrace new activities. According to Noble, he was initially a closed door and only wanted to engage in activities that would help him return to running.

“I believe you will run again, Jess said. “But in the meantime, let’s get you out having fun differently.’”

With Jess, Noble rode an adaptive bike and played games to work on finger dexterity.

“She helped me see that as much as I wished I was running, this was how I had to get there,” he says.

“You can’t eat an elephant in a day, and this would help me have fun while getting to where I want to be.”

Friendship heals During his time as an inpatient, Noble became very close to the other teens in the TRAC program. They took outings to Chatfield Reservoir, learned to navigate around a mall, went out for ice cream and saw a movie. They also spent significant time hanging out

together around the hospital, playing adaptive video games and board games, and even engaging in a Nerf battle with staff members.

Being with people his age was healing for Noble.

“As a 16-year-old, you’re used to hanging out with other kids all the time. As soon as an accident happens, everyone helping you is instantly older than you and it is harder to relate on a personal level.

It was nice to let down my guard and relax with the other kids.”

Noble’s mom, Krisi, and her husband also benefited from gettogethers with other parents whose kids were in the TRAC program.

“The other parents knew exactly what we were going through,” she says. “It instantly connects you and develops lifelong friendships.”

After a total of 151 days in the hospital, Noble came home. He

was greeted by a parade of friends and family members with confetti and banners. He returns to Craig five days a week for outpatient therapy, specifically working on balance and walking with the help of Craig’s specialized equipment, pool and treadmill. He can take a few steps on his own with a walker.

While the entire experience of his accident and injury has been challenging, Noble has leaned on his faith and believes that he is exactly where he is supposed to be.

“Throughout this journey, when tough times come, I sit down and pray for the strength to keep going,” he says. “I would love to be an inspiration for others, and if I can inspire even one person to try something they were scared to do or take a step in life, then this all would be worth it.”

Aurora gets closer to passing an urban camping ban

BY TATIANA FLOWERS THE COLORADO SUN

If a new camping ban passes in Aurora later this month, people living outdoors may be removed from the sidewalks and parks where they live, as soon as April 30.

Allowing them to continue to live on the streets is inhumane, said some members of the city council who voted in favor of an ordinance making it illegal to camp on public or private property without authorization.

The unauthorized-camping ordinance passed its second reading on a 6-5 vote March 14 and is likely to pass its final reading on March 28. The ordinance would take effect about 30 days later.

Councilors who supported the camping ban, which was proposed

by Mayor Mike Coffman, said residents and local businesses have complained about sanitation and public safety issues related to encampments in the city.

But advocates for the almost 600 people who split time between outdoor tents and the 200 to 250 shelter beds available in Aurora called the proposed camping ban cruel and ineffective and said the ordinance would not solve homelessness. The city, they said, should instead focus on providing permanent housing options to create real solutions.

“I’m going to sound like a broken record, but I just want to reiterate that you’re going to still see people camping all over the place, because we’re not finding them housing,” Councilmember Juan Marcano said during the March 14 meeting. “This is going to institutionalize state violence, basically, against folks in our city who are experiencing homelessness, and we need to implement real solutions, such as permanent supportive housing.”

Coffman declined an interview before the March 14 meeting, but in an emailed response to written questions, he said people living in encampments should have an alter-

native shelter option that is safe, has sanitation and offers other services to help them find a job and permanent housing.

There are just under 600 people who are homeless in Aurora, according to data collected in January during the point-in-time survey, when city workers and volunteers count the number of people who are homeless on a given night each year. Many encampments in Aurora are concentrated along Chambers Road, East Iliff Avenue, East Mississippi Avenue and near Interstate 225 onramps and underpasses.

Aurora has one overnight shelter with 150 beds. A few Safe Outdoor Spaces sites, with tents and pallet shelters, are set up in the city and have 90 beds, but can accommodate up to 120 people, said Jessica Prosser, the city’s director of housing and community services.

“And typically, those are, for the most part, full,” she said.

If passed, the new camping ban would require city workers to give 72 hours notice before a camp is removed and it would call for shelter beds to be available before a camp is shut down.

However, there’s no promise that those shelter beds will become available.

If the ordinance passes, Prosser’s office will work on finding additional shelter beds. The city currently activates its day resource center, and uses hotel and motel vouchers to increase shelter beds during cold weather.

Coffman, who was under intense public scrutiny last year after he told a TV station that he had posed as a homeless person, lived in encampments for seven days and that he believed addiction treatment or job training should be required for people accessing shelter services, introduced the first version of his urban camping ban last summer, but it failed in August on a 5-5 vote.

His newer proposal passed on first reading on Feb. 28 in a 6-5 vote after Coffman broke the now right-leaning council’s tie.
