Last fall, when 60-year-old Karin Baker watched as two men removed the license plate from their car and then stole packages from her neighbor’s front porch steps last fall, she did what anyone would do. She engaged in a high-speed chase. “I’m chasing them through the parking lot, I’m on the phone with 911 and then we’re driving down I

Cherish Salazar and Sandra Wolf are the other grandmas, and all three live in what they said the police department refers to as the Red Zone of Thornton — the area of the

city with the most crime. All three installed video surveillance cameras at their homes and remain on the lookout for suspicious activity occurring in their neck of the woods. “We call each other and say `what’s going on in your neighborhood,’” Wolf said.

Westminster hosts inaugural Town Hall BY LUKE ZARZECKI LZARZECKI@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Westminster City Council hosted its inaugural town hall on March 31 with homelessness and water is-

sues reigning as the hottest topics. Others included crime, climate change, growth, parking, inclusivity, asbestos from the Knox Court explosion and Standley Lake boating.

Although fruitful and informative, as one resident put it, sparks did fly a few times during the 90-minute meeting. SEE TOWN HALL, P4

Near the end of last semester, Jorge Cabral’s budget was on the brink. He carefully watched how he spent each dollar, limiting his purchases to essentials like shampoo and toilet paper and cutting corners with meals by buying rice and beans to last through each week. On top of getting no pay for his full-time student teaching job at Brighton’s Vikan Middle School, Cabral had had to shell out $90 to take an exam that would secure his teacher license early last year. “That’s two weeks of groceries if you plan it out right,” he said. “And good groceries, too.” Cabral, who graduated in December from the University of Northern Colorado, found himself “budgeting to the max” to make ends meet as an unpaid student teacher — a financial challenge most Colorado educators grapple with on the path to becoming a licensed teacher. Now, as Colorado school districts struggle to fill classrooms with certified educators, lawmakers aim to relieve some of the financial burdens with a proposed stipend program to provide student teachers help with living expenses. House Bill 1220, introduced in February, would also help students pay for expensive licensure exams and direct state departments to establish another way of licensing educators. SEE TEACHERS, P13

Northglenn extends old rec center homelessness program BY LUKE ZARZECKI LZARZECKI@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Northglenn city council voted 7-0 on March 28 to extend the old recreation center winter housing program through Aug. 31. “I think this has truly been an impactful pilot program,” said Northglenn Mayor Pro Tem Jenny Wilford. According to Rupa Venkatesh, the Assistant to the City Manager, the program was supposed to end on March 31, but since the old recreation center will be vacant until August, city staff asked for an extension. As well, Adams County agreed to fund the extension, which was $520,689. The Denver Rescue Mission will continue to operate the program and Northglenn’s Crisis Response Unit will still provide case management. As of March 28, two program participants are fully housed, two have identified housing and seven identified housing support, which can be transitional housing or reconnecting with family or friends. The winter housing program has 20 fulltime participants and is connected to appropriate daytime activities, such as having a job, training for a job, working with counselors, and others. As well, it includes dinner and breakfast and case management. Between Dec. 15 and March 9, there have been 84 individual participants. Five beds are reserved for the police department to be used as emergency drop-offs and the department did that with 56 different individuals. Of those 56 people, 11 of those individuals became participants. As of March 21, five were assisted in reuniting with family members. The entrance to Northglenn’s old Recreation Center.

law enforcement employee, she started chasing bad guys after new renters living next door began a suspicious business. Cars came and went day and night to the apartment and occasionally mixed up her house for theirs. “They were knocking on my front door at 2 o’clock in the morning with a handful of money,” she said. “They weren’t selling girl scout cookies.” The events escalated and became more frequent, so she had a meeting with the police chief. “I said look, I’ve lived here for 30 years. One of us is going to go and it ain’t going to be me,” she said, in regards to her neighbor. With law enforcement contacted and more patrol cars coming by, she also kept a look out for herself; she sat in a chair next to the window and took license plate numbers, wrote down details, and still does. She even gave the police department access to her cameras. The neighbors finally left after eight months, though she said they still may live in Thornton, she said.

Eight people make up the group and collaborate with the police to talk about what goes on in the neighborhoods. They voice various needs, describe suspicious activity and keep watch. “I think we just keep an eye out for everybody because it takes a community to do it,” Wolf said. “The police can’t be everywhere and do everything.” Wolf also described an event where 14 teenagers approached her because, as HOA president, she told them they could not play on the basketball court. She fended them off. “I’m 71 years old and I will fight back, I won’t go down without a fight,” Wolf said. The Grandma’s said they think they are having an impact on their neighborhoods. At the very least, they said the word is getting around that someone is watching. “That’s the whole point,” Wolf said, emphasizing the role residents play as the eyes and ears of the police department. Now, they see drugs and theft reigning as the most frequent crime. With their cameras and eyes on, they stay alert and communicate with neighbors to collect any details to relay to the police department. By now, the grandma’s said, dispatch already knows their full names and numbers. For protection, the three of them carry pepper spray, tasers and Baker wears a body camera. “I’ll take a bullet for any one of us, I don’t care,” Salazar said.

City Councilor Bruce Baker accused the previous council of misleading the public regarding Water 2025, a plan that addressed rates and the water treatment plant. “Did you all bring your popcorn tonight,” City Councilor Obi Ezeadi asked. “It’s a little more dramatic than I expected, we have councilors accusing former councilors of misleading, we have debates that sound like campaign speeches.” Soon after, Westminster resident Chris Stimpson made an emotional appeal to council to act on climate change. “It doesn’t really matter what else we get right, either on the federal level, state level or municipal level or global level,” he said. “It doesn’t matter if we get education right, it doesn’t matter if we get immigration right, healthcare right, it doesn’t matter if we get all that stuff right, and we get climate change wrong.” He continued for 2.5 minutes, and Mayor Nancy McNally asked him to stop. Each speaker was given 30 seconds for a question. “Stop, we are here for questions and answers, not lectures,” she said.

Mary Livesay, a Westminster resident, pleads to city council to address the encampments in the open space by her house. She held a bouquet of dried grasses and flowers to show the dangers imposed by PHOTO BY LUKE ZARZECKI bonfires from the encampments, which she said can possibly lead to a wildfire.

He then asked why the council dropped climate action from the strategic plan. Mayor Pro Tem David DeMott pointed to the city having an environmental advisory board and a sustainability department as actions to address the crisis. Homelessness A resident complained of encampments near his house, and described drug deals, needles and two overdoses and a suicide last year. “What can we do about this?” he asked. Another resident explained how she lives in close proximity to acres of open space where she sees encampments setting bonfires. Every night, she and her husband, both 80 years old, can’t sleep because one must take watch.

She held a bouquet of dead grass and flowers from the open space near her house. “Take a look at this,” she said. “One match and our house is gone.” City Councilor Rich Seymour said council and the city is trying to address the issue through a homeless navigator, a continuum to move them onto a better place and protection for everyone. He mentioned that compassion needs to be met with realistic solutions. Mayor Pro Tem David DeMott agreed with Seymour. “We do want that line in the sand,” he said. “We would like to do it humanely and try to connect them with resources and then have that line that says, ‘enough is enough.’” He also mentioned mem-

bers on council tried to address the issue in the past but did not have a majority on the last council. City Councilor Bruce Baker has a different point of view. “Our compassion and our generosity has seduced us,” he said. “Government is not about who you are, government is about your conduct. This is not a homeless problem, this is a trespass problem.” Water City Councilor Lindsey Emmons responded to a question about the longterm plan for water, due to the council’s recent vote to lower rates. She said staff was asked to pause work on the water treatment plant and to work with consultants to see how

the city can retrofit what they currently have. As well, she said more information will be presented to council in about four months about what can be done regarding the treatment plant and the costs. The water rates are not permanent, and the council will have to look at costs each year. City Councilor Sarah Nurmela called for more research and said that not enough money is going into the city’s water assets each year. She’s worried about the future because she said the city will have to borrow money to remain in the black. Ezeadi said, although he was happy it brought affordability to residents, he wanted to wait before lowering water rates until that information Emmons mentioned came to council. He said that if the plant costs more money than expected, the council will have to raise rates. “I don’t want a ping pong, yo-yo rates,” he said.

She said she is sitting on a $97,000 bill for the outside asbestos from the explosion, and that does not include SEE TOWN HALL, P5

Weather, work factors The program aims to serve those left out by the Severe Weather Action Plan, a county program adopted in 2020 to help people experiencing unsheltered homelessness. “People who are working went to work before 10 o’clock in the morning and are getting off of work after 2 p.m. in the afternoon have lost out on the chance to secure shelter for the night,” Jessica Hulse, the Crisis Response Unit Program Manager, said at a previous meeting. The intake hours for the SWAP are 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Those experiencing homelessness come to the program in the morning and room distribution occurs around 1 p.m. Since working folks miss these intake hours, the new program is designed to accommodate those folks. According to Hulse, homelessness in Adams County increased between 40 and 45 percent since the COVID pandemic. No emergency shelter currently exists to connect people experiencing homelessness during cold nights. The closest one rests 20 miles outside of Northglenn. Participants must be 18 years or older, have employment or a community connection. Connections can include attending day school, a day center, or staying with friends or family.

Hulse said that there have been no calls for service or calls for safety due to the program. Places to go Mayor Meredith Leighty noted misconceptions among businesses in Thornton that the participants of the program linger around during the day, and Leighty explained they have a place to go. She said that no complaints from nearby Northglenn businesses have been made. “I’m an enthusiastic yes for the extension, but I have my sights set on where do we find the permanent, ongoing duplication of this,” Leighty said. Northglenn City Councilor Becky Brown asked if the city did enough. “There are so many young people out there,” she said. “There’s more to it than just homelessness that I wish we could figure out a way we can help.” Venkatesh also expressed gratitude for the community support the program received.

Ukrainian journalists detail life in a war zone “This is not an invasion. This is a war.” BY STEVE SMITH SSMITH@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Amid a “been there, seen that” philosophy and a tinge of dark humor, Ukrainian journalists detailed their experiences covering the Russian attack on their country during a Zoom call March 29. “The Russian army is using the same tricks it did in 2014” (the last time Russia invaded Ukraine),” said Valery Garmsah, the chief editor of the Slovyansk newspaper, through interpreter Olya Kostina. He relocated to Chernivtsi because of the fighting. “There have been rapes and occupations. War is the only thing we’ve known,” Garmash said through the interpreter. “The only way for our nation to survive is to win. We are united as at no time before.” While some reporters said Ukranian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has rallied support for the country and its government like never before, there are pitfalls. Olena Zvonareva, chief editor at the city site of Zaporizhzhya, said covering the war has been tricky. Several refugees

fled to her city from the badly damaged city of Mariupol. “Russia cut our social networks. They’ve detained our colleagues,” she said through Kostina’s interpretation. “It’s hard to cover what’s going on there. We’re working under war conditions. It’s the first time for a lot of us. But it’s important to cover everything that’s going on. We’re basically doing what we can. We hope it’s not going to be in vain.” Oleg Skrpnyk, the chief editor of the city sites newspaper in Kharkiv, said one of his colleagues had been taken to Russia by Russian forces but managed to escape and was now in Finland. “Some of the threats we’ve received have been funny,” Kostina translated.”They say that according to Russian legislation, we could be shot for some crimes or something.” “Any person with a camera looks suspicious,” Kostina interpreted for one reporter. “Whatever you’re filming, who knows where you’re sending the film. You could be an agent of the enemy.” There’s also the question of how much information Ukrainian reporters can use. “We don’t publish about 10 percent of the information we receive,” said Larysa Gnatchenko, chief editor of

Slobisskyi Kray in Kharkiv, through the interpreter. “We have to think about the security of our people. We worry that we will attract attention to what we are doing. Our first priority is to take care of the safety of our people.” Gennadiy Chabanov, chief editor of the Odessa Life newspaper, said once the Russian army takes control of an area, its members seek out local government officials and members of the press. Zvonareva said her colleagues had been detained and threatened with prosecution under Russian law. “They do torture journalists and the representatitves of local government”, Chabanov said through the interpreter. “We do take our security seriously.” One of the rules of war coverage is not to give out specific addresses or locations.One journalist wished foreign news crews would follow that rule. “That must never happen,” the reporter said through Zvonereva’s translation. She took over the interpreting duties about threefourths of the way through the call. “Reporters are forbidden to give exact addresses. We don’t know what the Russians are trying to achieve. They could send three

or four more missiles as followups. We need to follow the ‘do-noharm’ principle.” Other reporters detailed stories of non-stop air raids that are apparently so common, people don’t take cover in shelters any more. Some asked for more extensive coverage of the Western sanctions on the Russian government, fearing that some companies could change names and re-enter the international marketplace. “This is not a conflict,” Zvonereva said. “This is a war.” Chabanov noted that Odessa is known as a city of humor. He relocated from Odessa to Lviv because of the war. He’s spent much of the last month moving from city to city. “In Odessa, we have about six air raids a day,” Kotsina translated. “We’re having an air raid now as I’m talking to you. We’re supposed to go to an underground parking structure. But here I am. Maybe I should go to Red Square in Moscow. Maybe the air raids will be focused there. “Their (citizens’) interactions are looking at a Russian warship shelling their city or watching the Ukrainian army shooing away the Russian army,” Chabanov said. “It would be funny if not for the damage and the casualties.”

Ukrainian Matzah at Passover celebration Westminster Chabad notes importance of bread in ceremonies BY LUKE ZARZECKI LZARZECKI@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Chabad of NW Metro Denver will feature an Ukrainian hand baked Matzah at this year’s April 15 and 16 Passover Seders. Rabbi Benjy Brackman said he has used the Matzah in the past, but noted the importance of this year’s ceremony. “I’ve been using it forever, I like the taste of it but I think this year it obviously has a greater significance because of

what’s going on in Ukraine,” he said. The Matzah was baked and shipped before Russia invaded Ukraine, and Brackman noted the irony of the situation. “It’s strange we are eating matzah made by people who unfortunately are anything but free today,” he said. He related it to the Jewish faith, where historically has been persecuted for 1,000s of years, and Passover celebrates their liberation. He said it’s a critical time for reflection, having gratitude for freedom and wondering if Americans are using their freedom correctly. Brackman is no stranger to Ukraine. In the 1990s after the fall of the Soviet Union, he spent

10 months in Ukraine as a rabbinical student. He explained how during his time in the country, religions started to flourish due to the new freedom to practice after over 70 years under the Soviet Union. As well, he said the wheat from Ukraine is a good wanted globally. “Ukraine is known as the breadbasket of the world, so the matzah tastes great,” he said. He also mentioned that the yellow on the Ukrainian flag represents wheat. Everyone — regardless of Jewish faith — is invited to join the community seders. They will take place on April 15 and 16 from 6:30 - 9:30 at Chabad NW Metro Denver.

New law bans openly carrying firearms near voting locations No Republican legislators supported bill meant to prevent intimidation BY BENTE BIRKELAND COLORADO PUBLIC RADIO

Gov. Jared Polis signed a bill into law on March 30 that bans anyone in Colorado from openly carrying a firearm within 100 feet of a voting location, unless their property falls within that buffer. The Vote Without Fear Act was a priority election bill for Democrats in charge of the state legislature. Supporters say the law is needed to prevent the harassment of voters and poll workers, arguing that the current intimidation law can be difficult to enforce. It passed with no support from Republicans, who argued it infringed on Second Amendment rights. Supporters say the bill will help prevent voter intimidation Arapahoe County Clerk and Recorder Joan Lopez attended the bill signing ceremony at the state capitol and recalled an incident that occurred on the eve of the 2020 presidential election. Two men came to the county’s administrative office in Littleton. “Came in with cameras, filming voters, open carrying, and just try-

ing to intimidate voters. And then they moved to the front of the building where every voter had to pass them to get to the voting center,” she said. Lopez said people complained and the election judges were really “shook up.” “Even though the police were called and our attorneys were involved, there was nothing we could do at that point because they weren’t violating any laws. Now it’s going to be law and they won’t be able to do this ever again,” Lopez said. Democratic state Rep. Jennifer Bacon is one of the main sponsors of House Bill 1086. She said voter intimidation has a long legacy in the U.S, especially against communities of color. She said it’s part of her own family’s history when they lived in Jackson Mississippi. “I want to thank the NAACP. We have been fighting for this for a century in this country to be able to vote without fear,” she said. Opponents argued that since Colorado is an open-carry state (with a few exceptions), the bill infringes on Second Amendment rights, and could make people who openly carry a firearm feel less secure. The new law is among several election security measures Democrats are putting forward this session. House Bill 1273 would make it a misdemeanor to threaten or intimi-

date state and local election workers for doing their jobs. It’s still awaiting its first committee hearing. It also would make it illegal to publish the personal information of election workers — a practice known as doxing — and allow those workers and their immediate family members to remove their private information from open records requests. And it would increase the penalties for threats and intimidation. Senate Bill 153 is in response to the security breach in Mesa County. Republican Clerk and Recorder Tina Peters and her Deputy Clerk Belinda Knisley are facing multiple indictments for election tampering

and misconduct. A federal investigation is ongoing. It would add new security requirements for counties, requiring constant video surveillance of election equipment, stricter rules about who can access equipment and increase penalties for potential security breaches in an effort to try to prevent insider security threats. The bill cleared the Senate with Democratic support and one Republican yes vote. This story is from Colorado Public Radio, a nonprofit news source. Used by permission.

Sleep expert calls permanent daylight saving time a dumb idea Extra-dark winter mornings could mess with circadian rhythms BY JOHN INGOLD THE COLORADO SUN

On the darkest morning of winter, the sun rises across Colorado — depending on where you are — sometime between about 7:05 a.m. and 7:40 a.m. You roll out of bed, get dressed, make coffee or eat some breakfast. If you are like the average person in Denver, the sun is probably rising along with you as you do these things. Now imagine that your morning routine stays the same, but the sun stays in bed an hour later. You would head off to work in the dark. School for many children would begin in the dark. This is the situation Colorado would be facing during the darkest days of winter if the nation switched to permanent daylightsaving time, and it’s why University of Colorado sleep science professor Kenneth Wright thinks the idea is so horrible. “Every morning, sunlight helps us to reset ourselves,” said Wright, who teaches integrative physiology and the head of the university’s Sleep and Chronobiology Lab. “And that way we are in sync with the 24-hour light-dark cycle of Earth.” Standard time — what Wright

believes the country should be on full-time — roughly tracks the sun in each time zone, with the sun at its highest point in the sky around noon. Colorado and most other states observe standard time during the winter months. Daylight time, meanwhile, pushes the clock ahead an hour during the spring, summer and fall, meaning people will see later sunsets — something advocates for changing to permanent daylight time tout as a benefit that will allow people to be more active after work or school. The idea of switching Colorado to permanent daylight-saving time is an old one, with efforts in the state legislature stretching back more than a decade. On Monday, a Colorado state House committee gave approval to the latest effort — a bill that would make daylight time permanent in Colorado but only if either the federal government authorizes it or if four other states in the Mountain time zone do the same. But the idea of going to daylight saving time full-time really gained new momentum earlier this month when the U.S. Senate passed a measure to make daylight saving time permanent across the country. Wright said there is no debate about the idea among sleep experts globally. At the same time the Senate voted to make daylight saving permanent, Wright was in Rome, attending World Sleep 2022, an annual conference that is so big that the World Sleep Society dubs it a “congress.”

While some want to streamline daylight saving time, experts are looking at the health SHUTTERSTOCK IMAGE drawbacks.

The reaction among attendees at the meeting? It’s a really bad idea. “There is expert consensus here that, if we have to choose one of these, permanent standard time is the healthier choice,” Wright said. Ending the spring forward Wright wants to be clear: He is not in favor of clock-switching, the most loathsome feature of the nation’s annual change from standard time to daylight time and back again. A robust body of research shows that the annual springing forward, when we shift clocks an hour ahead at the start of daylight-saving time, causes a surge in fatal car accidents, heart attacks and strokes. “No question, we need to stop the change, going back and forth,” Wright said.

Changing to permanent daylightsaving time will compound the problems by interrupting our bodies’ natural circadian rhythms, Wright said. As he explains it, light in the morning is different to our bodies than light at night. The morning light signals to our circadian clocks that it’s time to get moving. The ebbing of evening light tells our clocks it’s time to slow down. So, stealing light from the morning to give to the evening, especially in winter, pushes that clock rhythm back. This would likely lead to later bedtimes in the winter, especially when coupled with the impact of artificial light at night on sleep. (A CU study SEE SAVING TIME, P9

This might not be such a big deal if our schedules were fungible, and we could just plan to wake up later in the morning. But they’re not. School start times are fixed, as are most people’s work start times. Both could be changed, of course, but it would require a big cultural movement to do so. That means, when alarm clocks start going off during those dark morning hours, our circadian rhythms would likely rather we still be fast asleep. The resulting sleep deprivation could lead to greater risk for a litany of health problems, from weight gain, heart attacks and cancer to poor mental health and substance abuse. “This change,” Wright said of a move to permanent daylight-saving

time, “is likely going to make these types of problems worse.” Be glad we’re not Idaho Colorado, though, wouldn’t get the worst of it if the nation moved to full-time daylight time. That’s because the state sits on the eastern side of the Mountain time zone. The latest the sun will rise in Denver this year is 7:32 a.m., which will happen in early November right before the clocks fall back to standard time. Things stay darker a little longer as you go farther west and north. But, even in Grand Junction, the latest the sun will rise this year is 7:45 a.m. If daylight saving time were made permanent, those latest-sunrise times would change to 8:19 a.m. and 8:31 a.m., respectively, and they would fall right around the first of the year. Wright said switching to daylight time year-round would mean about two months out of the year when the sun wouldn’t rise before 8 a.m. in the state. (It wouldn’t change the latest sunset times because those occur in summer when the state is already on daylight time,

but it would push the earliest sunset times back an hour — to about 5:36 p.m. at the earliest in Denver, occurring in early December.) This year, with both standard and daylight time in place, Denver will see 107 days without a sunrise before 7 a.m. If daylight saving were made permanent, that number would rise to 166 days without a sunrise before 7 a.m. The number of days with late sunset times in Denver — those after 7 p.m. — would remain virtually unchanged under permanent daylight time, rising to 198 this year instead of the 193 we will see under the status quo. There would be a greater increase in the number of days with sunset times after 6 p.m. — 291 under permanent daylight time, instead of 238 with the status quo. This is nothing, though, compared to what people in Boise, Idaho, on the western edge of the Mountain time zone, would experience. There, residents would endure roughly two months out of the year without a sunrise before 9 a.m.

But, to Wright, this just underscores the problem with permanent daylight-saving time. Some places will see greater impacts than others, but all places will see more darkness on winter mornings. “It’s not that we won’t be impacted, we certainly will be impacted,” he said. “And others further west they will be impacted more by this. That doesn’t mean that because we’re less impacted is the right thing to do.” It appears that Congress might be starting to come around to that thinking. At last report, the Sunshine Protection Act — the bill passed in the Senate to make daylight saving permanent — is facing a much, ahem, dimmer outlook in the U.S. House.

Climate bills have drawn most lobbying in legislature Spending continues to rise, with Xcel Energy topping list

BY SANDRA FISH THE COLORADO SUN

Efforts to address climate change are among the most lobbied measures at the Capitol this year as a host of businesses and nonprofits seek to pass, block or amend them. Five of the top 10 lobbied bills this year at the General Assembly address greenhouse gas emissions, according to a Colorado Sun analysis of lobbying disclosures. Others on the top 10 list include measures seeking to prohibit employers from punishing employees who use cannabis when they aren’t working, which was rejected last week, and to ban flavored nicotine and tobacco products. Nearly 600 individual lobbyists and lobbying firms are representing more than 1,100 clients before the legislature and state agencies this year. And spending by those clients to influence government continues to rise as the legislature enters the home stretch of its 2022 lawmaking term. Spending from July 2021 through the end of February totaled $29.4 million. That’s up from $26.2 mil-

most-lobbied bills at the Capitol are the ones that garner the most public attention. Take the measure to affirm abortion access in Colorado and prevent local governments from hindering access to abortion or birth

control. It drew late-night public hearings and a 24-hour House floor debate, yet only 53 lobbyists registered to represent 31 clients on the legislation, House Bill 1279. SEE LEGISLATURE, P11

6 quick highlights from state’s $36 billion spending plan Proposal is largest ever BY ANDREW KENNEY COLORADO PUBLIC RADIO

Colorado lawmakers in the coming weeks are set to approve a $36.4 billion budget, including $16 billion that state lawmakers control directly. The state has more money to work with this year because of a strong economy with healthy tax revenues and a massive influx of federal COVID relief. But spending that money has raised questions about what the state prioritizes and how it should prepare for the post-pandemic period. “After two incredibly painful and challenging years, the arrival of a global pandemic and the crisis that ensued … we are bringing Colorado back strong,” said state Rep. Julie McCluskie, the Democrat who chairs the Joint Budget Committee. It’s the largest budget ever, marking a full recovery for the state’s finances from the pandemic.

The budget dedicates substantial new funds to air-quality programs, schools, and construction projects. It also includes a 3 percent raise for state employees, a 2 percent raise for contracted nursing home employees, and temporary discounts on fees for residents and businesses. Republican Minority Leader Hugh McKean said that Democrats had failed to stay “laser-focused” on saving people money, as Gov. Jared Polis has promised to do. “It’s a lot more like a laser light show, with lasers going everywhere,” he said. Here are six issues lawmakers are dealing with. Responding to air pollution The federal government has placed large swaths of Colorado on notice about atmospheric pollution. In response, budget writers proposed a $43.4 million “air quality transformation” package.

electric lawn equipment. Another $26 million will go toward the state’s program to track and regulate emissions from oil and gas facilities and other sources. The funding will pay for dozens of new state employees for the air quality program. With the new air quality package, the state health department will see one of the largest proportional budget increases of any department. But, for now, that $43 million will be paid for by one-time federal funding — leaving the state to figure out a replacement source in about two years. Separately, lawmakers are debating a climate bill, but Democrats have backed off a plan to ban gaspowered lawn equipment in parts of the state. More money for law enforcement, relief for parolees This budget begins a multi-year expansion of the Colorado Bureau of Investigation. With this budget, the CBI could get $7 million and 47 new full-time

t i t s c

employees. Over the next three years, that could grow to more than 100 new employees. In total, the bureau could see its budget total and its staff grow by nearly a third, to about 300. The budget also includes about $5 million in new money for security at the Capitol, including a new Xray machine and overtime pay for security. Meanwhile, the budget offers some relief for people serving time in the community corrections system, including those on parole or probation. These people currently pay “subsistence payments” of $17 a day if they are in a residential facility. The state would instead pay $16.5 million to make up the difference for the facilities. “We are having issues obviously collecting these fees from offenders, but also offenders are leaving (corrections) in debt,” said state Rep. Leslie Herod, a Democratic member of the Joint Budget Committee. SEE BUDGET, P12

LEGISLATURE

FROM PAGE 10

(It’s now awaiting Gov. Jared Polis’ signature.) Senate Bill 153, which seeks to block insider threats to Colorado’s election system, prompted plenty of emails and phone calls from opponents who believe false claims that the 2020 presidential election was stolen. But the measure has drawn only 36 lobbyists representing 17 clients. None of those clients opposed the bill. That’s considerably fewer than the 116 clients trying to influence the top two bills in The Sun’s lobbying analysis: Senate Bill 138, which sought to limit the sale of of gas-powered lawn equipment, and House Bill 1152, which would have prevented employers from taking action against workers who use cannabis products on their own time. (The former was amended, and the latter was voted down last week by a House committee.) And 141 lobbyists are representing 87 clients on House Bill 1064, a measure aimed at keeping flavored nicotine products away from young people. Some of the most lobbied bills this year didn’t make it very far in the legislative process. In fact, three of the top 10 lobbied measures never made it past their first committee. House Bill 1138 would have given employers an income-tax credit to encourage employees to use alternative transportation to and from work but failed 9-1 in the House Finance Committee. Senate

Bill 131 sought to restrict the use of pesticides in certain places in an effort to “protect pollinators,” but it failed 6-1 in the Senate Agriculture and Natural Resources Committee. And March 24, a House committee rejected the measure allowing employees to use marijuana on their own time. All but one of the other top 10 bills are still going through the legislative process. A measure to protect whistleblowers in public health emergencies awaits action on the Senate floor. Top spenders often lobbying on top bills Xcel Energy is signed up to lobby on seven of the 10 most-lobbied bills at the Capitol this year. The company is also the top spender on lobbying in the first eight months of the fiscal year, which began on July 1. Spending nearly $286,000, Xcel pays eight lobbyists, three of whom are employees and the rest contractors. The American Association of Retired Persons, or AARP, was second in lobbying spending, paying two employees nearly $144,000 to lobby on more than 70 bills, including two in the top 10. The Colorado Association of Home Builders lobbied on eight of the top 10 measures, while paying four individual lobbyists a total of $132,000. The Colorado Contractors Association and Colorado Retail Council each lobbied on six of the top 10 bills. The contractors came in third in spending, paying David Foster $133,000, while the retail

council came in eighth in spending, paying The Howes Group nearly $128,000. COPIC, the state’s primary medical malpractice insurer, didn’t lobby on any of the top 10 bills. It paid Nexus Policy Group $131,000 to lobby on six other measures. Several groups spending to influence public on issues Reaching out to lawmakers or regulators isn’t the only way lobbyists or their clients try to influence public policy. Some also report spending to get the public to lobby lawmakers on issues. Advance Colorado Action lobbyist Michael Fields, for example, reported spending $300,000 on lobbying so far this year. Of that, $200,000 went to digital ads on fentanyl penalties, several of which target Democratic lawmakers running in competitive state Senate contests this year. Another $100,000 went to digital ads and direct mail opposing a measure to allow government employees to bargain for pay raises. Advance Colorado Action is a nonprofit that doesn’t report its donors and changed its name earlier this year after operating as Unite for Colorado. Jesse Mallory, executive director of Americans for Prosperity’s Colorado branch, reported spending nearly $89,000 on digital ads, door hangers and canvassing to encourage lawmakers to enact tax refunds. Some of the spending also encouraged opposition to Senate Bill 138 on lawnmowers and other measures. And Liz Welch, a lobbyist for the national American Civil Liberties

Union, reported spending nearly $51,000 on polling and lobbying research. But those amounts pale compared to the million-dollar ad campaigns of recent years by the Partnership for America’s Health Care Future, last year’s top lobbying spender. That group opposed a measure aimed at reducing health care costs through a dramatic increase in insurance regulations. That group paid a lobbyist $20,000 in August, and ended its Colorado lobbying activities after that. How we did this analysis The Colorado Sun received data on lobbying income and bills lobbied by lobbyists and their clients from the Secretary of State’s Office. It analyzed the data using Python programming, making best efforts to standardize client names, and removing income paid by lobbying firms to lobbyists, which can result in double counting. In Excel, additional records are removed that report income from clients instead of the lobbying firms paying the lobbyists. In identifying the most-lobbied measures, we identified the top measures lobbied by clients and lobbyists. Then data on individual bills was downloaded, cleaned and analyzed.

BUDGET FROM PAGE 10

Democrats also have proposed a $113 million public safety plan with federal money. But one law-enforcement priority may not get more funding: The state attorney general’s office had asked for an investigator for its patterns and practices unit, which looks into bad behavior by police departments and others. The Joint Budget Committee didn’t see any evidence that the office had made full use of its last funding increase, Herod said. “There was no guarantee that this would actually expand patterns and practices investigations,” Herod said. State Rep. Adrienne Benavidez, a Democrat, pushed back, pointing out that “significant requests have been made from the public” for investigations like the one into the Aurora Police Department. New money for education The state’s K-12 education spending would see significant growth of about 7.6 percent. The additional funding reduces the “budget stabilization factor” — basically, the amount by which the state is falling short of its school funding obligations under the state constitution — from a shortfall of about $500 million to about $321 million. Budget writers originally talked about eliminating the “BS” factor altogether over a couple years, but inflation now makes that look unrealistic. The state also could spend $93 million of new money on special educa-

tion — an increase of more than 40 percent per student. For the first time, the state budget includes money for the new Department of Early Childhood Education, which will support the eventual launch of universal preschool. Higher education also would see a boost of about 11 percent from the general fund. That comes with an assumption that tuition will increase by no more than 2 percent at most institutions for in-state students. Incoming first-year students at CU Boulder might see a 4.3 percent increase, but then have their tuition held flat. “I won’t say we’re doing great yet, but we’re making progress,” Herod said. Budget writers also are expecting hundreds of millions of dollars in higher costs for health services. The federal government has been paying a higher-than-usual amount for Medicaid patients, which the state will have to replace when it expires. The budget also anticipates that more people will use behavioral health and substance use treatment services. New projects and renovations The budget includes nearly $500 million for construction and renovations, including: • $47 million for outdoor recreation and related areas, including Sweetwater Lake, the newest state park • $44 million to rebuild the Robinson Theater at Colorado Mesa University • $38 million for Colorado State University’s Clark building renovation and expansion • $27 million to renovate the University of Colorado-Boulder’s Hellems Arts and Sciences building and outdoor theater • $23 million for the Community of

College of Denver’s Boulder Creek Building renovation and expansion on the Auraria campus. The pandemic hangover State lawmakers are bracing for the economic after-effects of the pandemic. One of the biggest single items is a plan to spend $600 million to replenish the state’s unemployment program. That money will pay off about half of what the state owes the federal government after the state had to pay out enormous unemployment benefits. Without it, businesses would face steeper costs to pay the debt instead. The money would come from state spending, but could ultimately be backfilled by federal stimulus dollars. The state also is bracing for the end of more federal pandemic support programs. Changes in Medicaid eligibility have allowed hundreds of thousands more people to remain on the federal health program. But that is set to expire in the near future, which could drive Colorado enrollment in parts of the program down from 1.6 million last year to 1.4 million next year. Inflation also has affected the budget. For example, the state is preparing to spend $5 million more on printing and related services, an increase of more than 15 percent. What about TABOR? The state’s budget has surpassed its pre-pandemic totals, with the general fund growing by about 15 percent compared to the 2019-’20 budget. With that growth in sales taxes, property taxes and more, the state is running up against the limits set by the Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights.

In the upcoming budget year, Colorado is expected to owe about $1.6 billion in refunds to taxpayers in the upcoming budget year. There’s been talk that Democrats could find ways to reduce those refunds, but there’s been little action on that. “Maybe that conversation comes in this next year,” said McKean, the Republican minority leader. “We’ll be laser focused on that, making sure the people of the state get their money back.” Sen. Bob Gardner, a Republican, warned that the budget didn’t do enough to prepare for a potential economic downturn, including by relying in some cases on one-time funding. “You have to believe there’s a cliff out there,” he said. The budget keeps a reserve of about $2 billion, or about 15 percent of the general fund — the largest reserve in decades, according to the Colorado Fiscal Institute. The budget was heard on the House floor on March 30 and will soon go to the Senate. Democrats in the House rejected several dozen amendments from members of both parties, such as a $14 million request for an emergency response helicopter to operate on the Western Slope. As of the end of the day, they had passed only one change to the budget — a $2.3 million request by McKean and Democratic Rep. Shannon Bird to raise salaries for state troopers. They would get a 6 percent raise, while state employees generally are getting a 3 percent raise. This story is from Colorado Public Radio, a nonprofit news source. Used by permission.

TEACHERS FROM PAGE 1

Proponents of the measure are optimistic that by tackling some of the major financial hurdles for teachers in training and expanding the ways a teacher candidate can become licensed, Colorado can recruit more educators and diversify its K-12 workforce, which has long run short of teachers of color. Bill sponsor Rep. Barbara McLachlan, a Durango Democrat, worries about the number of prospective teachers who have given up on a career in education simply because they can’t afford the cost of living while continuing to pay tuition and student teach for free. “I think we probably lost a lot of good teachers over the years because of that,” said McLachlan, who taught English at Durango High School for 20 years. For first-generation college students as well as students of color and students from low-income families, the expenses associated with teacher training are often out of reach, said Jingzi Huang, director of the School of Teacher Education and associate dean for the College of Education and Behavioral Sciences at UNC. Under the legislative proposal, sponsored by Democrats and Sen. Don Coram, a Montrose Republican, student teachers committed to 16 weeks in a classroom could receive $11,000 while those spending 32 weeks at a school could earn $22,000. The legislation is intended to help students who need financial assistance, and eligibility will be tied to income thresholds, McLachlan said. “These students don’t have a lot of money anyway, and now we’re asking them to go for all these weeks without working at all,” McLachlan said. “They can’t survive.” Student teachers can hold outside jobs, but many often can’t find the time as they have to be in class during weekdays and tackle their own coursework, and some also have families to look after, said Liz Qualman, director of teacher education at Colorado Mountain College. “It is too challenging to expect a student teacher to have a second job to support themselves while engaging in coursework and student teaching,” Qualman said. She believes student teachers are shortchanged by “an archaic system,” particularly as many other fields offer paid internships. And while the teacher workforce has historically consisted of predominantly white, middle class women who graduated from college and were expected to student teach without compensation, that makeup is shifting. “The landscape of who we’re trying to recruit into the workforce is changing, and if we want a diverse workforce, we can’t have that same expectation,” Qualman said. “If we want more teachers in the field, we have to be able to support them through to completion and licensure.” Cabral, who student taught at Greeley West High School and now teaches world cultures at Vikan Middle School in Brighton, felt

lucky with a scholarship from UNC to help with living expenses last semester. He scraped by, determined to reach the finish line and earn his licensure so that he could have a classroom of his own. “If it came to the point where I had to take out extra student loans, I would do it because it’s really something that I love,” Cabral said. He stuck with teaching in hopes of inspiring students with backgrounds similar to his own. The Latino educator said that during his time as a student teacher, Latino boys who spoke only Spanish would ask him about his experience preparing to be a teacher. He filled them in on the process of applying to college — something he plans to keep passing onto students. Jorge Cabral, who teaches sixth through eighth grade social studies at Vikan Middle School in Brighton, started teaching full time in January 2022. (Olivia Sun, The Colorado Sun via Report for America) “There’s always the option of getting a higher education,” said Cabral, who doesn’t recall having any Latino teachers in Colorado and Wyoming, where he lived in elementary and high school. Many students of color in Colorado have similar stories, rarely encountering a teacher who looks like them throughout most of their K-12 classes. Yet the state has inched forward with diversity among educators and is “more diverse now than it has ever been,” particularly as it’s drawn more Hispanic professionals into teaching, said Colleen O’Neil, associate commissioner of the Educator Talent Unit at the Colorado Department of Education. During the 2015-16 school year, about 13.5% of the state’s teachers identified as Hispanic, O’Neil said, while last year, that percentage swelled to about 18.4%. “That’s not enough, but we want to celebrate the fact that we have been able to open some more doors,” O’Neil said, adding, “we still have schools where kids aren’t seeing teachers who represent them.” CDE conducted a minority teacher report in 2014 and followed up with a listening tour in 2017 and repeatedly heard from educators of color that they didn’t have positive school experiences and may not have “seen that person in the room

that was like them, to be a mentor or to springboard off of,” O’Neil said. That has become a “cyclical barrier,” she said, adding that when students can’t see themselves in their teachers, they may be less likely to pursue careers as teachers. Teachers of color also indicated that once they entered university programs, their peers didn’t resemble them either. Along with paying student teachers, the legislation seeks to help teachers in training cover the cost of licensure exams that can add up to hundreds of dollars. For example, someone pursuing a license to teach elementary school would be required to pay more than $300 for required exams, said Huang, of UNC. When students fail their exams during their first attempt, they must retake them — and pay all over again. Teachers who struggle to pass the licensure exams sometimes become discouraged and give up altogether, Huang noted, adding that generally students of color have a lower passing rate on licensure exams. She also favors expanding the ways that educators can become licensed beyond the exams some teacher candidates must currently take — another goal of House Bill 1220. That could mean that students in the teacher pipeline could present a portfolio of their work for evaluation rather than having to take a licensure test. Bill sponsors sent the legislation back to the House Education Committee on March 29 after it was up for discussion in Appropriations. The measure is benefiting from one-time funds under the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021, McLachlan said, and sponsors plan to make amendments focused on how to best use the money to benefit educators. “We’re trying to give everyone an equal opportunity to become a teacher,” McLachlan said, “without lessening the quality of the teachers themselves.” This story is from The Colorado Sun, a journalist-owned news outlet based in Denver and covering the state.

Claims of bias, bad faith plague Hyland Hills Board race CROSS CURRENTS

Bill Christopher

s I mentioned last week, the Hyland Hills Park and Recreation District Board of Directors election is set for May 3. The election has evolved into two distinct camps of board candidates. The focus and issue center on Executive Director Yvonne Fishbach, who has worked for Hyland Hills for 36 years and was promoted from Deputy Director to Executive Director in 2013. Each camp has distinct thoughts and opinions on whether Fishbach should stay or be let go. I have heard compelling arguments from candidates from each camp. Let’s introduce the candidates. Those who favor considering Fishbach’s departure are Don Ciancio Jr. who is an incumbent board member and a 40-year Westminster Public Schools department head, Randy Swanson, a retired Westminster Public Schools administrator and spouse to Superintendent of Schools Pam Swanson, and Max Math, a current board member of the Westminster Public Schools Board of Education. Those who favor providing Fishbach with

an opportunity to prove her managerial abilities are Warren Blair, a retired public school administrator from both Adams 12 and Jefferson County school districts, Margaret Gutierrez, a local governments bond investor for Key Bank and Paul Page, who is co-owner of Mad Rabbit Distillery in Westminster and married to Gutierrez. The two carry-over Hyland Hills Board members are Jen Flaum and Chris Dittman. Differing perspectives The Ciancio camp contends that Fishbach is not executing the duties of her office. For example, they claim she has not followed up on the projects to be funded from the voterapproved May 2020 mill levy override. Her critics say she fails to keep the board informed and takes actions that should come to the board for a decision. The other camp contends that she is successfully doing her job and deserves the support of a cooperative board to prove herself. They see a practice of overreach by certain board members in interfering in administrative matters, plus the entanglement

of long-term relationships with district personnel which has compromised the effectiveness of Fishbach. Plus, there is an issue involving the pending lease agreement involving the restaurant at the Greg Mastriona Hyland Hills Golf Courses. The past and current leases are with Ciancio’s Restaurant which is owned and run by Don Ciancio Jr., Ken Ciancio and Donna Charbonnier. It was pointed out to me that no Request for Proposals (RFP) was required by the board and it is expected that Ciancio’s will be given another five-year lease. It would be appropriate for board action on the new restaurant lease to be deferred until the new board members are elected and take office. If Don Ciancio Jr. is re-elected, he should abstain from voting or talking about the lease as he has a clear conflict of interest. Past lease agreements with Ciancio’s by the board have not reflected a competitive approach. I have known and worked with SEE CHRISTOPHER, P15

An unsolved math problem on the Colorado River

pring runoff last year in the Colorado River Basin was a bust, with snowpack of almost 90% of average reduced to a 30% BIG PIVOTS inflow at Lake Powell. Nobody yet predicts another bust this year. While we wait, water managers talk about “the math problem.” The gap between Allen Best water flows and demands in the Colorado River is enormous and likely to widen. The dysfunctional equation begins with 20 million acre-feet, the average annual flows assumed by the Colorado River Compact that was crafted 100 years ago by delegates from the seven basin states. This cheerful assumption was based on early 20th century flows. It was made with almost willful disregard of evidence available even then of the river’s lesser flows during the prior half-century. The delegates who met at a lodge near Santa Fe in 1922 were determined to yoke all irrigable acres into agricultural production. In this math problem, another key number is 12.3 million acre-feet.

natural, what we call drought, if exceptional in duration. Something else has been going on. Temperatures have risen 3 degrees Celsius altogether since 1970. By some estimates, half or more of the reduced flows can be attributed to this global warming effect. This warming explains the grand larceny in the Colorado River, decent snowpacks reduced to a shrug in the Utah desert because of evaporation but also because plants need more water. Too, baked soil sops up water. We can’t flip the switch on global warming and it’s almost certain to worsen, the temperature rise doubling or tripling, as Colorado State University’s Brad Udall warns. He describes what is occurring as aridification. Unlike drought, it’s not temporary. Dismal forecasts This brings us to another number for this Colorado River Basin math problem: 11 million acre-feet. That’s the number cited last week at a University of Utah conference about future flows of the Colorado River. “The best climate scientists in the world say we will be lucky to have 11 million acre-feet,” said John Entsminger, general manager of the Southern Nevada Water Authority, the agency serving Las Vegas. To recap this math problem, the Colorado River Compact assumed

20 million-acre feet, the reality has been 12.3 in the last two decades, and we’ll end up with 11 million-acre feet—or conceivably less. “Every new use will have to be mitigated by someone, somewhere, using less water,” Entsminger added. That’s not entirely right either. We all will have to use less water. Keep in mind that not one drop of the Colorado River gets to the Sea of Cortez. Cinching of the water belt has been underway from Mexico to Colorado. It’s not happening as rapidly as needed, though. Consider the rapidly emerging walls of Glen Canyon and the dam that creates Lake Powell. Despite emergency releases from upstream reservoirs in Colorado and Utah last summer to bolster Powell, the water levels last week dipped below 3,525 feet. That elevation is arbitrary but a loud warning that a further decline of 35 feet leaves Glen Canyon unable to generate electricity. Recent modeling by the U.S. Geological Survey shows a 25% risk. If — or perhaps when — that happens, municipalities and cooperative members who get power from Glen Canyon will still get electricity from elsewhere, but it will cost more. That includes Holy Cross Electric. Long term, this worsening situation of subpar runoff in the Colorado River matters to well more than 90% of Colorado’s population. The

Colorado River and its tributaries deliver half of Front Range water. Even the easterly flowing rivers in Colorado that pass through more distant, less citified places, Sterling and La Junta, carry water augmented by diversions from the Colorado River. Much remains to be worked out. Within Colorado, agriculture uses 80% to 90% of all water. Farmers and ranchers who own the more senior water rights, not subject to compact limitations, have served emphatic notice that their water will not be the answer to the math problem. Another problem is the compact clause that puts the upper basin states—Colorado, Utah, New Mexico and Wyoming—on the hook for diminished flows. It says they “will not cause” the flows at Lee Ferry, just below Glen Canyon, to be depleted below 75 million acre-feet of water over a rolling 10-year average. The upper basin states cannot do this alone. The risk must be shared. This sounds gloomy. That said, the seven basin states, Mexico, and the sovereign tribes who collectively own about 20% of the basin’s water have yet to throw rocks at each other. They are talking. They just haven’t solved this math problem. Allen Best publishes Big Pivots, a reader-supported e-journal. See more at bigpivots.com

the Ciancio family and enjoy their restaurant. The issue here is the process and achieving a marketdriven competitive agreement that will benefit Hyland Hills taxpayers. What are the plans and at whose expense? A second concern, which has become obvious to those who pay attention, is the “connections” and influence that Don Ciancio Jr., Randy Swanson and Max Math have based on their Westminster Public Schools employment, past employment, marital relation and political status as a board member. With recent decisions by the Westminster school district - including purchasing the Perl Mack Center for more than $1 million less than appraised value as well as not allowing Hyland Hills to use the district’s gymnasiums and fields any longer – there is speculation as to where WPS is headed from a program perspective. Does the school district want to compete or overtake Hyland Hills in the recreation/organized sports programming? Cooperative intergovernmental agreements between the two entities plus the City of Westminster in some cases seem to have gone by the wayside since I served as city manager and later. Looking beyond terminating Fishbach, the public should be concerned with the agenda of the three WPS-connected candidates. We need healthy parks and a recreation district to deliver programs, services and facilities to the public of all ages and its taxpayers. We need

a school district that focuses on improving education and not building an empire of ancillary operations and facilities. You cannot serve two masters Finally, in talking with Max Math – someone I have always thought highly of and wrote a letter of recommendation to assist in his desire to go to graduate school many years ago – I learned that he would intend to stay on the WPS Board of Education if elected to the Hyland Hills Board. As I said to him, how can you serve two masters? I don’t think it is right or politically smart to be elected and serve on two separate tax-funded boards. With all the innuendo, conflicts and uncertainty generated, the public should support candidates Blair, Gutierrez and Page. They don’t have conflicts or a hidden agenda. Their intent is to allow Fishbach the opportunity to continue to demonstrate her capabilities. Plus, their motivation is to serve the residents/ taxpayers of Hyland Hills with full services and quality facilities at affordable prices. U. S. Supreme Court Justice’s spouse throws a wrench Just when it was thought that everything bizarre and out of the ordinary had happened with the Republicans’ attempt to overturn Donald Trump’s re-election defeat and the planned attack on the U.S. Capitol, we learn of a new revelation. It’s a wrinkle that has not come up in American history before. Now, we learn that the spouse of U.S. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, – Virginia “Ginni” Thomas – was quite active in urging efforts to overturn the 2020 Presi-

dential election outcome which was won by Joe Biden. She sent numerous text messages to Trump’s Chief of Staff Mark Meadows between the election results and the January 6 attack. Such messages included urging Meadows to pursue baseless legal claims. One of her text messages stated, “Biden and the Left is attempting the greatest Heist of our History.” Both Justice Thomas and his wife Ginni are known in Washington, D.C. as a political power couple. On her own, Ms. Thomas is a wellknown conservative activist. Ms. Thomas’ actions are a smoking gun It’s one thing to express an opinion but urging a strategy and actively engaging in shaping the legal effort to overturn the election results is far more serious given her spouse is on the U.S. Supreme Court. Amanda Frost, a law professor at American University in Washington, offered “I’m not sure how I would have come out if we had a lot of texts from her saying that “this is terrible.” But she wasn’t doing just that. She was strategizing. She was promoting. She was haranguing.” Thomas’ text messages were found among 9,000 documents from Mark Meadows turned over to the congressional committee investigating the

attack on the U.S. Capitol. According to Stephen Gillers, a law professor at New York University, Ginni Thomas’ activities should have prompted Justice Thomas to disqualify himself from cases related to her texts. Gillers stated, “He had an obligation not to sit in any case related to the election, the January 6 committee or the Capitol invasion.” However, Justice Thomas did in fact participate in more than one such decision. This undermines the credibility of Justice Thomas and taints the whole court to some degree. Such political power and sway over cases related to these events cannot and should not be ignored. It would be an injustice to the American people. Ginni Thomas is a smoking gun. Hopefully, the congressional investigative committee will seek to gain her testimony. Furthermore, there is already the thought that Justice Thomas should either recuse himself from any relevant cases or resign.

From the foothills of Douglas County to the cliffs of Battle Mountain, history abounds in Colorado’s uninhabited towns BY RYLEE DUNN RDUNN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

“

There’s nothing abandoned in Colorado,” proclaims Melanie Roth from a set of wooden steps outside a cabin in St. Elmo — a ghost town in Chaffee County. Roth’s assertion is a bold one considering the setting — a deadsilent main street consisting of 150-year-old buildings that haven’t been inhabited since the 1950s gives way to the towering foothills of Mount Princeton and the Collegiate Peaks. Here, over a hundred miles from the bustling cityscape of metro Denver, it’s easy to feel isolated — yet not entirely alone. St. Elmo is perhaps the most well preserved of Colorado’s many ghost towns — remnants of a bygone era when mining, agriculture and railroad routes largely governed where people lived. While many of these settlements have been decimated by years of weathering — and in some cases, vandalism — a small group of dedicated historians have worked to preserve them as markers of Colorado’s history. “Two things make Colorado ghost towns different than any other state,” said Lee Dahl, a member of the Ghost Town Club of Colorado. “First of all, the setting; a lot of them are up in the mountains, that kind of makes them a little remote, off the beaten path, not a lot of people knew about it for a long time. “The other thing is that a lot of those ghost towns had a huge infrastructure where you’d have a mine shaft, and a milling building, some rather large structures that were built rather stoutly for the industry. That made them interesting, also made them sturdy, so they’d withstand time,” Dahl continued. At a 1958 meeting of Colorado historians in Golden, a man named John Farr stood up after a presentation on ghost towns and said, ‘We ought to start a club.’ The Ghost Town Club of Colorado was formed shortly thereafter and remains active in educating and preserving Colorado’s towns of yesteryear. Ethan Knightchilde, a documen-

tary filmmaker and member of the Ghost Town Club, said that many of Colorado’s ghost towns followed a similar trajectory; a discovery was made, followed by a boom, then a bust — then, the town went “ghost.” “When a town no longer had a reason to exist, it ceased to exist, in short. And so, a lot of the mining towns were built around a single commodity, whatever ore was in the ground. It’s a limited resource; when it ran out, the people left,” Knightchilde said. Joan Fields, a member of the Ghost Town Club since 1979, explained the difference between the two main types of ghost towns commonly found in Colorado. “It depends on where the ghost towns are. Because there are ghost towns out on the Eastern Plains, and a lot of those were based upon agriculture. The mountain towns, of course, if the minerals ran out or it wasn’t a particularly prosperous mine, oftentimes the towns would disappear,” Fields said. In the roughshod days of the American West, settlers moved like locusts across the country, building up towns around a single commodity with little regard for maintaining anything for the next generation, according to Knight-

childe. Most of the settlers were men looking for work in mines or on farms, which begat a largely nomadic population, according to Fields. “A lot of communities didn’t have families. A lot of women didn’t move out west until they knew things were going to be settled, or there weren’t children involved. So, you’d pack your frying pan and your mule, you’d pack your things, and you’d just go,” Fields said. Sometimes, according to Knightchilde, the difficulty of moving an entire household’s worth of possessions down a treacherous mountain pass made the task insurmountable, and settlers would simply move to the next town and start over. Sometimes, the towns would become something else entirely. “They’d become what we call ‘ghosts of their former selves,’” Dahl said. Ghosts you see, ghosts you don’t “Technically, towns like Georgetown and Silverton are ghosts,” Knightchilde said. “You’d never want to say that to a resident — they will take offense. But they are shadows of their former selves in terms of size, and their continued

Take a healing trip to ‘Blue Ridge’

elationships forged under high stress situations are some of the strongest people can create. There’s a reason soldiers who serve in combat bond so deeply. Abby Rosebrock’s “Blue Ridge,” is set in another location where people are going through some of the toughest things imaginable and bond over it - a halfway house. “Everybody knows someone with addiction problems or has gone through it themselves,” said Len Matheo, director and Miners Alley Playhouse executive and artistic director. “This show is cuttingly funny, laugh-out-loud funny, and also jaw-droppingly dramatic and serious. It’s about big issues.” The regional premiere of “Blue Ridge” runs at Miners Alley, 1224 Washington Ave. in Golden, from Friday, April 15 through Sunday, June 5. Performances are at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Friday and Saturday and 2 p.m. on Sunday. The show focuses on Alison (Jessica Robblee), a progressive high school teacher with a rage problem. After she gets back at her boss, she is sentenced to six months at a church-sponsored halfway house. But she doesn’t appear to be very focused on her own recovery. “I love this character. She’s a really interesting person, honest and well written,” Robblee said. “It’s a privilege to be in the room with characters like this. The setting feels like a place where people can be really brutally honest, and it’s

still filled to the brim with solidarity and a real volatility.” Not only does the show tackle the challenges of addiction, but the stereotypes and misconceptions that accompany life in the religious South. People make Clarke Reader plenty of assumptions based on where a person was raised and what they believe in, and Matheo and the cast wanted to ensure audiences are treated to a more nuanced picture of human beings. “A real complex script takes audiences on a journey from beginning to end,” he said. “I want everyone to have an experience in the theater where you’re living and observing some other person’s life and you have a cathartic moment. Theater can be a catalyst for that.” The human connection is really the driving point of “Blue Ridge,” which Robblee said highlights just how powerful relationships can be in shaping a person’s life. “What if there was someone in your life you could be more honest with?” she said. “I hope it inspires people to be a little more fearless to have real conversations instead of just scratching the surface. You can get somewhere new by having conversations like that.” Get tickets at https://minersalley.

GHOST TOWN

is no sign of it whatsoever,” said Larry Schlupp, president of the Larkspur Historical Society. “There were numerous mines out there at one time — it was a gold town. “ Despite the many challenges surrounding the task, efforts to preserve ghost towns have gained steam in recent years. Dearfield, a historically Black settlement in Weld County, was in danger of seeing its few remaining buildings disintegrate before Colorado’s Most Endangered Places — an initiative of Colorado Preservation, Inc. — stepped in and listed the site on its “priority saves” list in an effort to raise funds and organize preservation efforts. In doing so, one of the state’s earliest markers of Black independence will live on for future generations to learn from and experience. “(Dearfield) was a colony founded by pioneering Black settlers who understood that having some independence and owning land and maybe farming and building a town was a greater way to achieve independence — freedom — in society,” said Kim Grant, director of Colorado’s Most Endangered Places. “They actually prospered there for 20 years, and then the Dust Bowl came, and climatic factors intervened that nobody really foresaw and it just ruined the farm economy for nearly everybody. And the town just died away,” Grant continued. While the town largely died off with its founder, Oliver Toussaint Jackson, in 1948, a few build-

ings — including a gas station, a diner and Jackson’s homestead — remain in rough shape. Now, with the help of Colorado’s Most Endangered Places, the buildings will be restored as tangible historical artifacts.

people don’t need a supply point that close,” Bathke said. “What would happen to Georgetown if I-70 wasn’t there, or had not gone through? Or before that, (Route) 40?” Knightchild wonders. Towns that can’t reinvent themselves run the risk of falling by the wayside entirely. Cotopaxi was a community established along the Arkansas river by primarily Russian-Jewish settlers in the 1880s. When the colony failed, most of its residents scattered to other parts of the country, leaving little of the original settlement in place, according to Bathke. Uravan was a uranium mining town in Montrose County that went bust in the 1980s as the United States began sourcing uranium elsewhere. Due to radioactive contamination, the town’s buildings were burned, and everything else was thrown in a pit and buried there, according to Fields and Dahl. Nevertheless, the town’s history isn’t entirely forgotten. “The people of that area have an annual reunion — they still get together, the people who worked there, especially the descendants of those people,” Bathke said. Some places don’t receive the same treatment. Dakan, a shortlived mining camp in Douglas County, is largely invisible to the naked eye. “If you go out there today and look, you’ll see a pasture.

A modern-day ghost Unique even among the colorful history of Colorado ghost towns is Gilman, a modern-day ghost that couldn’t survive its own reinvention. Early settlers arrived in Gilman around 1879, as overcrowding in Leadville forced miners to try their luck elsewhere. The town was formally settled in 1886 amid the Colorado silver boom. Gilman was initially named “Clinton” after John Clinton, a judge and speculator from nearby Red Cliff, but was later renamed in honor of Henry Gilman, a foreman of the Iron Mask Mine. Like many towns on Battle Mountain, life in Gilman revolved around mining. By 1890, the town had a growing population and a newspaper, the Gilman Enterprise. Then, the silver crash hit. “With the silver crash of 1893, a lot of the town was abandoned,” said Matthew Mickelson, the local history librarian for Eagle County. “It went from a population of well over 1,000 down to 400 at that point. Soon after that was when they started mining for zinc.” Faced with similar prospects of other boomtowns of the era — reinvention or abandonment — Gilman chose the latter and became a profitable zinc mining outfit that was purchased by the New Jersey

Zinc Company in 1912 with designs of turning the settlement into a company town. “It was considered a model company town — a good one,” said Kathy Heicher, president of the Eagle County Historical Society and local history author. Heicher added that during this time, Gilman had a hospital, a store and even a bowling alley. New Jersey Zinc had a reputation for taking care of their workers, and wages and accommodations in Gilman were good throughout much of the 20th century. The population of Gilman hovered between 300-500 residents, with booms occurring around both world wars as demand for zinc increased. By the 1980s, however, natural resources in the mines were becoming depleted, and the town was growing less profitable. On April 11, 1985, residents of Gilman received a letter from the Battle Mountain Corporation — the name of the company that owned and operated the town at the time — stating that they would need to vacate the premises by June 30. The terms of the departure notice were severe. “We would like to offer rentfree living until your departure from the premises. In addition, we would like to offer Joe Trujillo’s assistance with packing your belongings, if necessary,” stated the letter from Battle Mountain Corporation. In an instant, Gilman — a mountain town that had prospered SEE GHOST TOWN, P18

GHOST TOWN FROM PAGE 17

for almost a century — was gone. However, its story as a ghost town was just beginning. When the Battle Mountain Corporation abandoned the town, the property was completely abandoned, and the water pumps were shut off. Battle Mountain — which Heicher describes as a catacomb of mines — soon felt the impact of Gilman’s abandonment. “They shut off the electricity that had been pumping the wastewater out of the mines, and the mines started filling up with water and it got decades of toxic waste in there,” Heicher said. “The water started flowing out into the Eagle River. The Eagle River was flowing orange. You wouldn’t, in the 1980s, eat a fish that you caught in the Eagle River.” In 1986, the mine was declared an Environmental Protection Agency Superfund site and work began on quelling the contamination from the runoff. Cleanup work on the site was declared completed in 2001, but spikes in pollutants occur to this day, making the decontamination process ongoing. The pollution at the site has put a damper on plans to revive the area. Various proposals to make Gilman into a ski resort or additional housing for Vail workers have stalled because of the contamination. The town was annexed into nearby Minturn in 2008 with the hopes of bringing a ski resort plan to fruition, but the developer backed out shortly thereafter in 2009. Today, Crave Real Estate Ventures owns the townsite, which has become victimized by vandalism in recent years. Trespassers on the property are frequently cited. Nevertheless, remnants of Gilman’s heyday can still be found at the site. “They left in such a hurry, the people who have snuck into town say they went into the doctor’s

office and there were X-rays lying around. One woman, whose dad had worked at the mine, was able to find his old paystub in the mine offices. That’s why people are really intrigued by it,” Heicher said. Heicher added that the “boom or bust” nature of Gilman’s history is representative of larger trends in Colorado history. “It was once a thriving, kind of utopian community, and people liked living there. Colorado is a boom and bust place. Whether it’s oil or whatever, it’s like a classic example of boom and bust,” Heicher said. ‘Take only photos, leave only footprints’ According to Knightchilde, the biggest threat to ghost towns isn’t time, or weather, or even pollutants — it’s people. “A century and a half of weathering can bring a building down, but people have had a disastrous effect on what remains of these towns,” Knightchilde said. Knightchilde and his Ghost Town Club compatriots rattle off examples of this problem — Lamartine was robbed of its wood, the Lee Mansion in Capitol City was dismantled for its bricks, Carson has nary a plank of wood without someone’s initials echoed into it, Caribou’s buildings have been tagged heavily with graffiti. Human interference is not a new phenomenon — as Colorado’s even best-preserved ghost town can attest. By 1957, St. Elmo’s population had dwindled to just two residents — siblings Tony and Annabelle Stark. Urban legends detailing the Starks’ descent into madness became fodder for campfire circles, but their true fate was far more insidious. “They weren’t (mentally incompetent) at all — they weren’t,” Roth said on the cabin steps. “They might have been up here by themselves and they had a neighbor telling everybody they were loony tunes, and so they were declared mentally incompetent and removed. “Before the ambulance reached Nathrop, all of their valuable possessions were stolen by the person

who promoted their insanity and commitment,” Roth continued. The town eventually was bequeathed to Marie Skogsberg, a family friend of the Starks, who passed down the legacy of preserving St. Elmo to her granddaughter — and Annabelle Stark’s goddaughter — Melanie Roth. Roth’s efforts have preserved St. Elmo as a snapshot of Colorado’s history, replete with sturdy buildings, historical exhibits and a general store that operates in the summertime. Organizations like the Ghost Town Club and Colorado’s Most Endangered Places have worked to preserve similar sites throughout the state. “We formed a preservation committee; we raise funds throughout the year and then at the end of each year we will present grants to deserving historical organizations in the state,” Bathke said of the Ghost Town Club. “Typically, they have to be 501(c)(3), so we avoid giving to an individual and we avoid any tax problems.” Knightchilde said that preservation efforts have galvanized recently, spurred in part by damage incurred by urban development in the late 20th century. “Preservation efforts have strengthened over the years. It’s not just ghost towns. During America’s love affair with urban renewal during the ‘60s, ‘70s and ‘80s, we lost a lot. And that probably was galvanizing for preservation movements of all kinds,” Kightchilde said. “You have beautiful historic theatres that were bulldozed for parking lots. And you have people that love those types of buildings that can only see so much of that before they band together to do something about it,” Kightchilde continued. Members of the Ghost Town Club said that part of their mission is to educate people on the history of ghost towns, which they hope will in turn instill respect among visitors for the historic sites they go to. Fields said that one of the taglines of the Ghost Town Club is “Take only photos, leave only footprints.” “One of our challenges is getting the word out. We get so

many people that come into our mountain towns on their ATVs and all they want to do is run up and down the road as fast as they can,” Fields said. Knightchilde said that traffic at ghost towns has been on the rise. “The signs are there that they are increasingly being visited. If you are that interested, you will do some research, the way I did, the way everyone I’ve spoken to who has a love for these places did. And in doing so, you’ll gain respect for them. My hope is that once you’ve done that, you’re jazzed to go see the place in person, you know something about its history, and you have a respect for it. You’re not going to run roughshod over it,” Knightchilde said. The allure of ghost towns varies from person to person. Some are drawn to the sites because they represent a beacon of a bygone era. Some, like Knightchilde, feel an intrinsic pull to their history. “There is that haunting feeling that the building is looking back at you. It’s almost like it’s beckoning you to know its history. People came under unbelievable odds to get to this place and they brought their hopes, their dreams, their fears. They lived and died in these places. There’s this weight of history surrounding you,” Knightchilde said. “It’s part of our history. Many of us like to preserve our history,” Bathke added. “They say, ‘If you ignore your history, you’re only going to repeat the mistakes that were made in the past.’ There’s always that longing to go back to our roots, and that’s all part of it.” Members of the Ghost Town Club understandably bristled at the mention of vandalism. “Vandalism makes my blood boil because that just shows someone that’s completely lacking in any kind of sensitivity,” Kngihtchilde said. “You need tangible things to remind you of where you’ve been, who you’ve been, as a society,” Kngihtchilde continued. For Coloradans of nearly all backgrounds, ghost towns are exactly that.

Mother ‘desperate’ to warn about THC concentrates Son’s 2019 death by suicide led to push for awareness BY JEREMY MOORE ROCKY MOUNTAIN PBS

Johnny Stack used to tell his parents the mob was after him and that they were in on it. His mother says he couldn’t really explain why. “He just always had this sense of paranoia or that people were watching him or after him or that everybody knew who he was,” Laura Stack said of Johnny’s behavior before his death in November 2019. “It was a very strange pattern of thinking.” Johnny fell from the top of the parking garage at RTD’s Lincoln Station in Lone Tree. His death was ruled a suicide and his behavior suggests he was experiencing a mental health crisis. Five minutes before the fall he took a photo of his car odometer. It read 133661. He posted the photo on Snapchat with the message: “For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. For one extreme to exist, there must be the opposing.” “[Experts in psychosis] don’t think he probably actually thought he would die,” Laura said. “There was a video of him from the RTD station that the cameras took in the parking lot showing that he spread his wings as if he literally thought that he was going to fly right off the building. I don’t know if he intended to die. I’ll never know what was going through his mind. But I do know that if it hadn’t been for marijuana, he’d still be here today.” Johnny’s family scattered his ashes in Hawaii the February after his death on what would have been his 20th birthday. Then the COVID-19 pandemic hit, leaving the Stacks to mourn in isolation. “And then I got really angry living here in Colorado and just the availability of this drug and these dabs, these concentrates, these vapes, these edibles. And these kids don’t have any idea how potent this

stuff is and how it’s harming their brains,” Laura said. “And everyone wants them to believe it’s so natural and harmless. And it’s legal. It must be safe. Just all the false narratives that these kids buy into, that these adults are telling them and not protecting them.” For the next six months, Laura wrote about Johnny. She produced 300 pages. “I wrote his life and death story in a way that I hoped other people would recognize their children and hopefully save them. Can’t save Johnny, but we can maybe keep it from happening to someone else,” she said. “So amazing how many people call me and they say, ‘I read your story and you can substitute my son with yours. And it’s the same story.’” Johnny was 14 when he first tried marijuana at a party. It was 2014, the year Colorado became the first state in the nation to legalize recreational marijuana use for people 21 and older. Voters had passed Amendment 64 two years prior to full commercialization. Johnny’s parents dismissed his first encounter with marijuana as a relatively harmless bump in the road. They admit they had no idea their son had begun a journey toward addiction. “I thought to myself, you know, it’s just weed, right? I used it. It didn’t hurt me. I had no idea how wrong I was,” Laura said. “It’s the dirty little secret of the marijuana industry that these high potency products can trigger psychosis in youth. There’s a campaign of confusion. They want to cast doubt on any study that comes out that hints that THC in the developing brain can actually cause mental illness and schizophrenia-like psychosis with delusional thinking.” Johnny tried to stop using marijuana a couple of times. Laura says during those breaks he would recover. But he kept going back. He would eventually be diagnosed with “THC abuse — severe.” “That was his diagnosis,” Laura said. “He had no other drugs in his system. It wasn’t laced with anything. This wasn’t the black market.”

Laura Stack pauses as she reflects on what was lost when her son died by suicide. COURTESY OF ROCKY MOUNTAIN PBS

According to Dr. Chris Rogers, the Medical Director of Child and Adolescent Behavioral Health Services at the HealthOne Behavioral Health Campus in Aurora, suicide is the number one cause of death in Colorado for youths ages 10 through 19. And the number one substance found in their toxicology reports is THC, not alcohol. “The data is very suggestive that your risk of having suicidal thoughts and potential suicide attempts also increases with the potency of cannabis,” Dr. Rogers said. “So, the younger you are and the higher the potency THC products you use seems to correlate to your risk for worsening depression and suicidality later in life. And then the higher the potency gets, it is fairly compelling that your risk of psychosis goes up somewhere between four- and six-fold with each use. The risk of addiction also seems to be correlated with that, such that we believe the data would suggest that one out of every 11 adults who try current cannabis products are des-

tined to then become addicted. One out of every six adolescents … will go on to form a true cannabis use disorder or a cannabis addiction.” Rogers works to increase awareness of how harmful today’s marijuana products can be, particularly for younger populations. And like Laura Stack, he combats misinformation from the cannabis industry and marijuana culture in general. “A whole generation of Coloradans have been raised to think marijuana is medicine,” Rogers said. “And that’s one of the most alarming trends that we combat on a daily basis. I have kids as young as 12 years old who tell me they use high potency products such as wax, shatter, dabs, things that are basically rock marijuana. It’s THC distilled down into 80%-plus forms using butane and other harsh chemicals. And you use a glass pipe with a blowtorch similar to smoking crack cocaine or any rock product. And they use this nightly to help them fall asleep as if it were NyQuil and SEE CONCENTRATE, P21

they don’t see any harm in it. The harm is evident since I’m obviously talking to them in an inpatient psychiatric unit.” Both Dr. Rogers and Laura Stack point to how rapidly the marijuana industry has developed THC products that older Americans wouldn’t even recognize. And they say the potency of today’s best sellers are having devastating effects, especially in children. “You can ingest marijuana any which way you think might be fun and we have no idea. This includes tinctures, edibles, vaporizers, suppositories, THC-infused tampons … there are no guardrails. If it’s got THC and you can make it, you can pretty much sell it in the state,” Rogers said. “These are products that kids describe much closer to like a heroin or methamphetamine addiction. They can’t stop thinking about using these products even though they know it’s ruining their lives. They can’t focus on their friendships, their relationships, their school. They also cannot stop using because it is that potent of an addiction.” “[In 2012, Colorado] voters were thinking they were getting the Woodstock weed. That’s what they wanted. You know, they wanted this 10%, get a paper, put in some flower, roll a joint, pass it around and go to Denny’s, right? That’s what voters wanted. But what our kids got are these 90% shatters and oils and edibles,” Laura Stack said. “I don’t

think that voters would vote the same way today if everybody actually understood what marijuana is.” Rogers and Stack are also eager to highlight how easily children are getting and hiding their use of these products. “Things like marijuana vaporizer devices … that look like an albuterol inhaler. So, I can look like I’m treating my asthma in the middle of class and I’m getting crazy high to the point that teachers talk about kids falling out of their desks,” Rogers said. “The market share of these high potency products has skyrocketed over the available time that we have data: 170% increase in market share between 2014 and 2016. The marijuana industry knows that if they can hook kids before their brains are fully developed, their chances of having a lifelong user are much greater. So, they’re exquisitely prone to becoming addicted.” “These kids are fully aware of who the seniors are, who’s 18, who has their medical marijuana card and who’s selling,” Stack said. “It’s simple for kids here to get marijuana … it’s perfectly legal for an 18-year-old to go into a dispensary with a med card and buy marijuana and then sell it. So, we call this sometimes the gray market. It’s legal to purchase, illegal to sell it. But, people have the mistaken impression that these kids are getting it on the street or they’re getting it from the black market, or they’re paying somebody five bucks to go in and buy it for them. They don’t have to do that. They just get it from their classmates. They get it from their older brothers and sisters. Sadly, they get it from their parents.”

By 18, Johnny had obtained his own med card without his parents’ knowledge. After he died, the Stacks discovered pictures and videos on Johnny’s Snapchat account that suggest he was also selling marijuana products to younger children. “He had no mental health, no physical health, no conditions that he should have been able to even get one,” Laura said. “We don’t even know who gave it to him because they protect the doctors… You can say, ‘oh, I have a migraine’ or ‘I have a backache,’ and you can get a medical marijuana card when you’re 18 and legally go into the dispensaries and buy this stuff that’s so toxic. And they don’t know because everyone wants them to be addicted in the marijuana industry because their primary consumer is that 18- to 24-year-old age group … it’s addiction for profit.” Dr. Rogers admits parents are outmanned and outgunned by commercialized marijuana. “You’re fighting against … a multi-billiondollar industry that is targeting your child, that is intentionally doing everything they can to change the narrative, to say this is safe, this is good, give it a shot. Let’s make it more enticing. Let’s make it more empowering, more euphoric,” Rogers said. “I think if you sit down with Laura Stack and try to say, ‘that’s a parenting problem,’ you’re either delusionally high or you just are a heartless human because these people love the hell out of their kids. They do everything they can for them, and they’re still losing kids by the hundreds to these addictive properties.” In May of 2020, Laura founded

Johnny’s Ambassadors. The nonprofit educates parents, teens and communities about the dangers of today’s high THC products, particularly on adolescent brain development, mental illness and suicide. She travels across the country with her husband John, who says he mourned Johnny’s death differently. “I am proud that [Laura has] channeled her abilities into this direction,” John Stack said. “It took me a year at least to even be able to have this discussion.” John and Laura Stack still marvel at how much marijuana changed their son. Before, he was busy with school and sports. He ran crosscountry and track, played soccer and was a brown-green belt in karate. He had a 4.0 GPA until his very last semester of high school and scored a perfect 800 in math on his SAT, graduating with a scholarship to Colorado State University.He played the piano and guitar, participated in service projects and had a heart for the homeless. John remembers the strained relationship he had with Johnny before his death. He chalked it up to typical teenage behavior. “I always thought that we had time,” John Stack said. “I always thought that, you know, someday we would laugh about some of the things that happened when he was a teenager. And I never got that chance.” This story is from Rocky Mountain PBS, a nonprofit public broadcaster providing community stories across Colorado over the air and online. Used by permission.

Distribution issues wipe out Denver’s supply of overdose-reversing drugs BY KYLE COOKE ROCKY MOUNTAIN PBS

In mid-February, the Denver Department of Public Health and Environment (DDPHE) announced that Denver residents could order fentanyl testing strips and the opioid overdose-reversing drug naloxone directly from the city, free of charge. More than one month later, DDPHE has received nearly 4,500 requests for naloxone — often referred to as Narcan, a name-brand version of the drug — and fentanyl testing strips. Distribution issues, coupled with high demand, have resulted in just a few people receiving their orders. In an email to Rocky Mountain PBS, DDPHE officials said the department does not have any naloxone in house. “We have placed an order for more than 4,000 kits from the distributor, but they have not been shipped which tells us they likely do not have them in stock,” said Courtney Meihls, a marketing and communications specialist with DDPHE. Meihls said the free naloxone distribution program started in September 2021 but was more publicized in mid-February of this year, including by DDPHE. From September to mid-February, DDPHE received just 380 orders for naloxone. The department was able to fill those orders, but has become overwhelmed by the number of requests

since mid-February. “So the increase, while amazing because of the number of people who want to help their neighbors, is quite dramatic and depleted our supply in-house,” Meihls said. She could not provide an estimated date for when the city’s order would be filled. The limited supply is a continuation of a problem that Rocky Mountain PBS reported on in November: individuals and organizations are struggling to obtain drugs like naloxone while the state’s opioid overdose crisis worsens. From 2000 to 2020, the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CPDHE) recorded 15,999 overdoses deaths in the state. Nearly one in five of those deaths occurred in Denver. Drug overdose deaths in Colorado, per year, from 2000 to 2020. (Credit: CDPHE) The crisis has only gotten worse: CDPHE recorded 1,757 total drug overdose deaths among Colorado residents in 2021, a record high. Two-thirds of those deaths involved opioids. In Denver, the surge in opioid deaths has been driven by fentanyl, a synthetic painkiller that is “similar to morphine but about 100 times more potent,” according to the Drug Enforcement Agency. In 2021, 49.8% of drug-related deaths in Denver involved fentanyl. In 2019, for comparison, that figure was 24.9%. Demand for the overdose-revers-

ing drugs in Denver rose after five people died of suspected fentanyl overdoses in a Commerce City apartment last month. Colorado has seen one of the sharpest rises in fentanyl-related deaths in the country in recent years. In the last two years, fentanyl-related deaths have increased five-fold in Colorado, according to a recent report by the nonprofit advocacy group Families Against Fentanyl. Between 2015 and 2021, fentanyl deaths increased more than 1,000% in Colorado, the report found. “We are in the worst overdose crisis we’ve ever seen in the United States, Colorado, and in Denver,” said Lisa Raville, executive director of Denver’s Harm Reduction Action Center, in an interview with Rocky Mountain PBS last year. “There is a lot of grief happening among people who use drugs among service providers, because people we know, love, and serve are dying of preventable overdoses and it doesn’t have to be so.” Meihls told Rocky Mountain PBS that while DDPHE’s naloxone supply is backordered, there are other options. For immediate assistance, she recommended people visit Denver’s “Wellness Winnie,” an RV that provides Narcan/naloxone, as well as syringe or needle disposal, behavioral health screenings, clothes and more. You can find the Wellness Winnie location and schedule https://bit.ly/3DuxMFO.

People can also buy naloxone at several pharmacies across Denver. The Harm Reduction Action Center has a map of pharmacies with naloxone available http://stoptheclockcolorado.org/map/.

Ravens undefeated, sweep Grizzlies in doubleheader Energy, confidence key thing Riverdale bringing to the diamond this year BY STEVE SMITH SSMITH@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

THORNTON -- Riverdale Ridge pitcher Ty Thompson noticed one difference in this year’s Ravens’ baseball squad. Confidence. “We have a lot of confidence going into games,” he said after shutting out Northridge High School on three hits in the first game of a doubleheader March 31. “We have a lot of good energy.” Thompson traveled to several parts of the country on summer teams. “Just the experience of moving and playing these good teams showed me what they can do and how to play against them,” Thompson said. “The teams we play here aren’t as talented. But it still helps to play through it and give us the edge.” That experience has turned Thompson into an on-field coach. “If I see someone doing something I think I can help with, I give them some advice,” Thompson said. “I like helping my teammates. It makes

us better.” Thompson and Ethan McCormick drove in the Ravens’ first two runs in the third inning. Baryn Stark added a two-run base hit in the fourth, and Keagan Pitton closed out the scoring with a sacrifice fly in the fifth inning. “It helps to have your ace on the mound,” RRHS coach Ray Garza said. “He blew up the zone with strikes. He had everything working and had them off-balance.” Thompson struck out 14 en route to the win. Two Grizzlies’ runners advanced as far as third base. Thompson struck out five of the last six batters he faced. “The fast ball was working really well. I was able to locate it,” Thompson said. “I had a solid defense that had my back. Things worked out just great. Everything was working for me today.” The Ravens stranded 10 runners, including two innings with the bases loaded. “We had some timely hits. But I was really frustrated with the fact that we had the bases loaded in two innings with no outs, and we had six strikeouts,” Garza said. “Even on a double play, we can get a run. We have to focus on a lot of things.” The Ravens, who sport a 4-0 record through the end of the week, rolled to a 12-3 win in the nightcap over the Grizzlies. McCormick, who was

the starting pitcher, had two hits and five RBIs. He also struck out six in the court if five innings on the mound. Pitton added a pair of hits. Elijah Lofton had three hits and drove in two runs. “I told the kids our hitting and our approaches at the plate have not been good since I’ve been here,”

Garza said. “It has to change. A lot of our kids go to different hitting coaches, and everyone has their own approach. I’m not going to knock what they do. They know more than me. Our kids don’t have a good plan at the plate. I’m talking about the mental approach, quality at-bats. That is a point of emphasis.”

More people seek end-of-life prescriptions Some doctors still leery of aid-in-dying law BY JENNIFER BROWN THE COLORADO SUN

The number of Coloradans who received prescriptions to end their lives has increased each year since voters passed an aid-in-dying law in 2016, rising 18% in 2021. Last year, 222 people obtained prescriptions for the lethal doses of medication, which they must ingest themselves after getting approval from two physicians who certify that they have a terminal illness and fewer than six months to live. That brings to 777 the five-year total prescriptions since the End-of-Life Options Act was passed, according to a recently completed report on the law by the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment. The department tracked how many of those 777 prescriptions were dispensed — 583 — but is not required to follow up with patients’ families or doctors to find how many of those patients actually took the medication. Also, under the law, the cause of death listed on patients’ death certificates is not suicide but their underlying terminal illness, so it’s unknown whether they took the dosage — a mixture of medications called DDMA and DDMP — to end their lives. The median length of time

between the date of a prescription last year and the patient’s death was 18 days. The report also found that the 777 prescriptions written in the past five years came from 198 doctors. Those numbers jibe with a study from Dr. Eric Campbell, a professor at the University of Colorado School of Medicine and a biomedical ethics researcher. The research, which included 300 physician surveys, found that many doctors are still wary of prescribing the medication. Campbell found that 81% of Colorado doctors said they were willing to discuss medical aid in dying with their patients and 88% were willing to make a referral to a physician who would prescribe the medication. However, fewer than half of doctors, 46%, were willing to sign off as the consulting physician on an aid-in-dying prescription, and even fewer than that, 28%, were willing to serve as the attending,

or primary, physician on such a prescription. And even though more than 80% of doctors said they were willing to discuss medical aid in dying, not nearly as many were ready to do it or had actually done it, according to Campbell’s research. About 52% said they had discussed aid in dying with a patient. “What that means is that people in general feel willing to do it, fewer are prepared, and even fewer have actually done it,” Campbell said. Among physicians who had prescribed medical aid in dying, 75% said it was “emotionally fulfilling and professionally rewarding.” Almost 47% described it as “ethically challenging.” The majority of patients who were prescribed aid-in-dying medication in the past five years had cancer or a neurological disease. Two doctors are required to sign off on the prescription, and if there is doubt that the patient is mentally capable of making the decision, the patient is supposed to have a mental health consultation with a psychologist or psychiatrist. State data shows that in many cases, not all of the required paper was submitted as spelled out under the law. The state has a record of 667 attending physician forms for the 777 prescriptions written in the past five years, so 110 are missing. Also, the state health department has a record of just 605 patient request forms, and 579 reports from

consulting physicians. In all five years, just five mental health provider confirmation forms were submitted. Those are required only when the patient’s mental capacity is in question, however. The state health department report notes that the required documentation was incomplete, but says that the attending physician’s form attests that all requirements of the law have been met. The department is continuing to educate physicians about the requirements, the report says. The average age of those seeking a prescription last year was 73, while the youngest age was mid20s, according to the state health department. Medical-aid-in-dying patients are required to be at least 18 and live in Colorado, under the law passed by voters in 2016. The lethal drugs, typically a powder, are often mixed into a drink — some aid-in-dying proponents suggest a strong liquor, warm water, juice or Gatorade — or a pudding, yogurt or applesauce. Most of the Coloradans who received prescriptions in the past five years died at home. This story is from The Colorado Sun, a journalist-owned news outlet based in Denver and covering the state.
