Old motels put dent in homelessness crisis

Nonprofits get help in buying 3 sites

BY JENNIFER BROWN THE COLORADO SUN

Denver’s five-year plan to reduce by half the number of people who are homeless and living outdoors

relies on a relatively new strategy — buying up old motels and converting them into housing.

The city, through partnerships with nonprofits and thanks to federal coronavirus aid, has helped support the purchase of three motels in recent weeks, two along the city’s historic east-west artery Colfax Avenue and the other north of downtown. Other similar deals

are in the works.

While the Colorado Coalition for the Homeless purchased a motel in northeast Denver in 2019, it was the pandemic in 2020 that pushed city leaders and nonprofits to focus on buying old motels as a long-term strategy to get people into housing. That spring, as shelters shut down and sleeping head to toe in crowded rooms was deemed risky, the city

Adams County, municipalities respond to Club Q shooting di erently

While Adams County issued a statement and action steps regarding the Club Q mass shooting and the City of Northglenn held a motion of silence at their city council meeting, Westminster and Thornton took different routes in honoring victims.

“This weekend, a horrifying act of mass murder at the Club Q nightclub stole away five lives, injured more than 25 others, and left countless loved ones shattered,” the Adams County statement reads.

During the week of Nov. 22nd, the county placed five LGBTQ+ flags in front of Government Center. Under each flag displayed the name, age and photo of every victim of the terror attack.

“Adams will also continue to honor and celebrate the lives of these individuals who are and will always be part of pride flags that are waved at respective celebrations, parades, and gatherings,” the statement reads.

Westminster, Northglenn and Thornton

The City of Westminster decided to not make a statement regarding the shooting at Club Q in Colorado Springs, though that’s protocol, ac-

cording to city officials.

From emails obtained by Colorado Community Media, Mayor Nancy McNally asked City Manager Mark Freitag what the city would do regarding the shooting.

Freitag said spokesperson Andy Le advised against doing so since the city doesn’t have a history of

making similar statements. As well, it opens up the question of future tragedies and how to address them.

After month of free fares, many riders stayed with RTD Zero Fare for Better Air data analyzed

BY OLIVIA PRENTZEL THE COLORADO SUN

After Colorado offered $28 million to make public transit free for the month of August — in an effort to ease air pollution when ozone levels are highest — many riders stayed, even after fares returned, new data from participating agencies across the state show.

While ridership numbers dipped after the no-fare promotion ended, at least nine of the 14 public transit agencies that participated in the Zero Fare for Better Air program saw more riders in September compared with July, including the Regional Transportation District — which saw a 14% increase in its average weekday ridership from July to September, according to the agency’s final report on the program

Civitas gets thumbs up for 10 fracking wells in Thornton

BY LUKE ZARZECKI LZARZECKI@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Thornton city council approved a proposed 10-well fracking site at the southeast corner of the E-470 and I-25 intersection on Nov. 29 on a 6-2 vote.

“You’ve done everything that can be done for that location,” Mayor Jan Kulmann said.

Civitas Resources Inc. bought land from Sands Partners LLC and will use 3.6 acres to develop 10 wells. However, the rest of the land plans to be developed as well. A proposal is awaiting city council approval for 1.3 million square feet of warehouse development next to the fracking site.

The site will be active for 20-30 years.

Even if city council didn’t approve the project, it would’ve most likely been given the green light through a different route of authorization. Thornton’s Municipal Code outlines three different routes, according to Colin Wahab, acting planning manager.

The Oil and Gas Permit Process requires a public hearing if the minimum requirements are satisfied, the Expedited Oil and Gas Permit Process says staff approves administratively if the operator meets heightened standards, and the Operator Agreement, which is approved by city council and establishes a framework for environmental, public health, safety and welfare.

Civitas went through an operator agreement and staff recommended approval. According to Wahab, the negotiated terms are more protective than city and state requirements, the operator agreed to plugging and abandoning existing wells within the city, the city will receive financial reimbursements, higher insurance and assurance requirements, there will be training and coordination with the fire department and the operator conducted a location analysis to see where the best location would be.

Some of the negotiated terms that exceed protective requirements include using electric equipment on site, Tier 4+ fracturing pumps, ongoing 24-hour computerized monitoring, response to Ozone Action Days and early implementation of Leak Detection and Repair inspections.

As well, there will be a water quality testing program to anyone with an available water source within a half mile of the radius of the location and the fluids used will be PFAS-free.

The development is also required to keep the city informed of relevant information through notification and reporting that would not otherwise be required. An annual review, evaluation, and update of the Cumulative Impacts Plan will also be provided.

Civitas will remove five wells, ten tanks, five gas meter stations, five separators and four miles of pipeline.

For financial reimbursements, $220,000 will go towards emergency equipment and training, $100,000 towards the cost of road and infrastructure impacts, and up to $175,000 to verify ongoing compliance with the heightened standards of the agreement.

Kulmann’s questions

Kulmann, who is also an oil and

gas engineer, peppered the applicant with over seven questions.

She asked whether or not the wells will be filled if the project wasn’t approved. The operator said they wouldn’t be.

Kulmann asked for the company to post their website and phone number for concerned residents to contact them for concerns. They

She also asked if they plan to use recycled fracking water, and they

At the Oct. 24 planning session, Kulmann also asked for electric fracks, and she asked for it again on Nov. 29. The operator said they are evaluating the technology.

She also asked when the operations plan to begin. Once the process is approved and goes through the application process, they expect summer of 2023 with production starting a year after, company reps said.

For ozone awareness, she asked what their plan is for nonattainment days, and the applicant said it’s a judgment call based on the day’s situation and will come down to the final hour.

Health and safety

City Councilor Kathy Henson asked if the staff had any concerns for health and safety. Wahab said city staff looks at code requirements for guidance.

“We believe this operator agreement is the best path forward,” he said.

Lisa McKenzie, associate professor at Colorado School of Public Health, said in an interview that 60 epidemiological studies around oil and gas across the United States have been consistent in showing that people living nearest to oil and gas are more likely to have children with adverse birth outcomes, such as low birth weights and premature births.

The studies also show that children with congenital heart defects are more likely to be living near oil and gas wells. The same goes for

asthma.

Stargate Charter School sits about 1.5 miles south of the development and Little Lights Christian Early Learning Center is about .5 miles south.

Stargate Executive Director of Academics Kate Sivarajah said the school has no comment on the site. Arlene Masterson, owner of Little Lights Christian Early Learning Center, did not respond to requests for comment.

Within a half mile of the site, there are 56 parcels and of those parcels, 35 are believed to have residential uses. The rest are primarily commercial.

“We know that the total evolved organic compounds coming out (of fracking wells) together have been associated with respiratory symptoms. We also know that people living around oil and gas in other places have complained of things like upper respiratory symptoms, skin rashes, bloody noses and things like that,” she said.

In an interview, Jeffrey L. Collett, a professor at Colorado State University’s school of engineering, explained with fracking comes air pollution.

He pointed to a few of the specific emissions: methane, fine particles, nitrogen oxide, benzene and a wide range of volatile organic compounds.

Collett said those living close to the development should be most concerned with benzene.

The pollutant comes from wildfires, fueling stations and oil and gas developments. He said it’s a carcinogen and the effects are felt from decades of exposure. Lew said the site will be active for 20-30 years.

Scientists found living, working or going to school within 2,000 feet of sites emitting benzene leads to health risks. Beyond 2,000 feet is currently under investigation by scientists.

Adams County marks National Adoption Day

Special ceremony cements family for 13 children

BY BELEN WARD BWARD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Thirteen children found a forever home on National Adoption Day Nov. 18 at the Adams County Justice Center.

“National Adoption Day is all about bringing awareness to the community that there’s a need,” said Katie McDougal, Adams County Human Services Director. “There are children who have been lingering in foster care, and they deserve forever families.”

The point is to bring some celebration to the lives of those families.

“Even though they don’t need the official piece of paper to know they’re a family, seeing the joy this day brings to make it official and

permanent is incredible for everyone,” she said.

The Board of County Commissioners, the Human Services Department, and the 17th Judicial District hosted the adoption celebration. According to Adams County, 120 adoptions should be finalized by the end of the year.

National Adoption Day was developed to help the 113,000 foster care children waiting for a permanent home. Since 2000, more than 75,000 children have been adopted during this annual event, according to officials.

According to officials, about 150,000 adoptions happen with the annual program. On average, foster care children are in the system for three years before being placed in a home. More than 20,000 children age out of the system annually without finding permanent or family.

New hours for Adams County o ces in the New Year

STAFF REPORT

As of Jan. 1, 2023, Adams County will be opening county buildings on Mondays and resuming a five-day schedule. The updated 2023 building schedule will continue to provide a regular 40-hour workweek for residents and employees, but by opening county buildings on Mondays, residents will have more flexibility to utilize in-person services.

Many programs and services are also accessible online at adcogov. org under the “Save a Trip” menu. This allows residents to conduct their county business however is most efficient for them. The county encourages residents to use the services, when possible, to minimize in-person visits.

In another move to improve services to the public, County Manager Noel Bernal announced that the newly minted Adams County Health Department (ACHD), led by Dr. Kelly Weidenbach, is hiring more than 100 front-facing staff and currently adding four locations residents can access for services on Jan. 1.

“Moving to full public service hours at all Adams County loca-

tions is not only the right thing to do but will also provide additional access for residents,” Bernal said. “We are additionally excited for the launch of our brand-new Adams County Health Department, which will provide critical services to some of our most vulnerable residents.”

The Government Center at 4430 S. Adams County Pkwy. in Brighton, the county’s Parks, Open Space and Cultural Arts at 9755 Henderson Rd. in Brighton, the Aurora Service Center at 3155 Chambers Rd. will be open from 8 a.m.-4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday. Motor vehicle offices throughout the county will keep similar hours but will close at 4 p.m. weeknights.

The Brighton Workforce and Business Center at 36 S. 18th Ave. will also be open from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday but will be closed an hour each day from noon to 1 p.m. for lunch.

like methane and nitrogen oxide, affect the broader community. He said methane contributes to global warming substantially more than carbon dioxide. Nitrogen oxide reacts in the atmosphere and leads to hazy days.

“Oil and gas developments along the Front Range can contribute to the regional ozone and fine particles haze episodes that we have,” he said. “Those aren’t a concern for those living next to the operation, but

Both City Councilors Julia Marvin and Henson both voted no on the proposal due to health concerns.

“I have a lot of concerns for the health and safety of our residents with this time of operation that’s going in,” Marvin said.

In addition to health reasons, Henson noted that with Thornton being a growing city, that space could be used for something else.

“I have grave concerns about health and safety, ramifications, the location, it’s in proximity to schools and businesses, housing,” Henson said.

Westminster explores bringing boating back to Standley Lake

BY LUKE ZARZECKI LZARZECKI@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Westminster city council discussed bringing back boating to Standley Lake at the Nov. 21 study session.

Trailered boats and powered watercraft have not been allowed on Standley Lake since 2020 because of an intergovernmental agreement between Westminster, Northglenn and Thornton. The three inked that agreement due to concerns that boaters might bring invasive mussels into the reservoir. Standley Lake is a major water supply for the three cities.

Sarah Borgers, Interim Department Director of Westminster’s Public Works & Utilities Department, said Northglenn Mayor Meredith Leighty and Thornton Mayor Jan Kulmann had both sent letters to Westminster indicating they would not be supportive of changing the agreement.

At the meeting, DeMott said some councilors at Northglenn and Thornton were unaware of the letters. McNally also said other councilors were not aware.

“I spoke to some of those council members and they don’t know about that letter, so I’m a little frustrated by that, to be frank,” DeMott said. “These IGAs are agreements between bodies of councils, not mayors, those mayors don’t have a right to speak for their councils and I’d be happy to make phone calls to each of them and tell them so.”

and Thornton Spokesperson Todd Barnes, their councils were aware.

“Council has been advised of/ discussed Standley Lake numerous times since the 2019 IGA, including that letter,” Wilson wrote in an email.

“Our council is certainly educated and aware of the issue, but I can’t speak to whether “some” council members were unaware of the letter. The letter is consistent with Thornton’s position regarding the IGA and this issue. We have had no reason to change our mind’s on the issue,” Barnes wrote in an email.

City Councilor Rich Seymour echoed DeMott’s statements, saying it’s a complicated subject. It has taken many meetings to understand the implications of allowing boating and not all councilors went to each one.

DeMott wants to be sure councilors at all three cities recognize the amount of risk that comes with boating and see which threshold they may or may not be comfortable with.

Many considerations come into play with boating on the lake, said Shonnie Cline, senior scientist and communications strategist for Corona Environmental Consulting. As a key water supply, some 350,000 people drink from Standley Lake daily. The space also provides recreation and is a wildlife refuge.

Cline presented the security assessment to the council.

Those owning water rights to Standley Lake have a say in what happens to it. Westminster owns about 52%, Thornton 28% and Northglenn 16% and the Farmers Reservoir and Irrigation Company (FRICO) owns 3.5%

Westminster owns the parklands surrounding the lake and is responsible for managing recreation on and around the lake.

The security assessment identified five gaps in protection of the lake: public outreach, emergency preparedness, extreme events (wildfires, floods, contaminant spills,) nutrient loading and aquatic nuisance species.

It’s unclear when boating began on Standley Lake, though it’s known it goes back at least to 1958.

In 1985, the city started the boat permitting process. At that time, 1,200 Westminster allowed permits. In 1989, concerns for water quality due to boating cut those permits in half and the three cities slowly decreased the permits over time.

In 1994, the three cities signed an IGA to continue to reduce the number of permits and restrict jet skis and boats with onboard sanitation devices.

In 1995, the city detectedEurasian Millfoil in the water, which impacted the taste and odor of drinking water. That started the aquatic nuisance species program.

In 2018, 473 permits were sold

were removed due to violations to the aquatic nuisance species violations in 2019.

A task force also explored ways to allow trailered boats without compromising water quality, but could not reach a consensus. City Councilor Lindsey Emmons accused the task force of having the end goal of taking boats off the lake and not being solution oriented.

She also emphasized that council supports water quality and thinks it’s possible to find a solution that satisfies all parties.

Through the task force, staff and citizens proposed ideas for how to maintain security and water quality. She asked to see how much risk the city would be able to reduce with them.

Last month, Colorado Parks and Wildlife identified a zebra mussel infestation at Highline Lake State Park, which increases the risk to Standley Lake due to both parks being in state.

Economic benefit

That impacts economics. Westminster brought in about $480,000 from boating permits, which cost $900 each. However, that doesn’t cover the potential impacts of invasive species. It would cost between $3.2-11.1 million for capital costs to mitigate a mussel infestation and an annual cost of $270,000-3.4 million for annual operation and maintenance.

Not all boats pose the same risk and the city allows hand-launched watercraft, paddle craft, windpowered sailboats and small electric motors.

Seymour pointed to a new technology emerging of backing boats into a dip tank to kill the invasive species. Borgers said even with technologies to mitigate invasive species — like putting boats through a hot water pool to kill the plants and animals — nothing works 100% of the time.

Borgers said it will take engineering hurdles to decide how much water, where the dirty water will go and other considerations.

Even if Westminster’s council wanted to change the rules for trailered boats, it would need approval from Thornton and Northglenn to make changes to the IGA, until it expires in 2030.

Westminster has banned powered boating on Standley Lake, a major water supply for Westminster, Northglenn and Thornton, due to concerns over infestations of aquatic nuisance species.

Snowbusters needed to scrape slippery city sidewalks

BY KATHLEEN DUNLAP

The City of Westminster’s catchphrase this winter season for elderly or physically impaired residents is: “If you see some snow in your neighborhood, who you gonna call? Snowbusters.”

The City of Westminster has organized groups of volunteers from the Denver Metro area to engage in their “Snowbusters” program since the late 1990’s. The program aids residents in fulfilling the city’s snow removal requirement, which is that snow must be cleared away from sidewalks within 24-hours of a snowfall.

“Shoveling can be dangerous for seniors or those with a physical disability,” says City Coordinator Martha Heinz.

Heinz’s role as the program’s coordinator is to ensure the City is bridging any gaps for residents in need.

As a volunteer Snowbuster herself, Heinz believes the program provides an essential service during the winter months.

“Our volunteers come from all walks of life - from eight-years-old on up,” Heinz said. “We even have a few people from neighboring cities, like Denver, who help

out.”

Residents in Westminster can sign up online at www. volgistics.com/od/112972 or by calling Heinz 303-658-2089. Then, she utilizes a master list of volunteers to pair to the resident. Currently, the waiting list for residents needing assistance gain some helping hands over the next year.

“We are hoping to increase the number of homes served in the community as more people hear about the program,” she said.

Bonds

Heinz enjoys listening to the stories throughout the season of friendships made between volunteers and residents.

“Volunteers are often greeted with warm cookies or hot cocoa,” she said. “Bonds are created.”

The creation of bonds is what inspired Diego Saenz’ family to become a part of the Snowbusters’ team. Saenz, along with his father and two sisters, have volunteered collectively for more than 10 years.

“My favorite part is getting to know the people,” Saenz said. “All of them have interesting stories and life lessons. They express so much love and gratitude.”

Westminster is looking for volunteers to help clear snow from

winter.

Saenz and his family then enjoy a cup of hot chocolate with their assigned residents after they shovel.

“It only takes about 15 minutes of your day to help those who appreciate you - and it’s great exercise dur-

ing the winter!” he said.

Heinz appreciates the commitment of volunteers like Diego Saenz.

“We love that his whole family participates,” she said. “If you’re looking for a way to be of service, or to

understand more about civic duty, do this program.”

To become a Snowbusters’ volunteer or to be added to the resident waiting list, contact Martha Heinz with the City of Westminster at 303-658-2089.

How state ‘red flag’ law works

BY ANDREW KENNEY COLORADO PUBLIC RADIO

Colorado’s “red flag” law, passed in 2019, allows family members or law enforcement to request the tempo rary confiscation of firearms from people who pose a threat.

Now, the law is receiving renewed attention in the wake of a gunman’s attack that killed five people at Club Q, an LGBTQ nightclub in Colorado Springs. Democratic lawmakers have asked why the suspected gunman wasn’t the subject of a gun-removal order after a previous incident in volving violent threats.

Here’s how the law works and what experts say about its use in Colorado.

How the law works

Red flag laws are meant to allow the temporary confiscation of fire arms from people who are deemed to be an “extreme risk” to themselves or others. Under Colorado’s law, the orders can be requested by law enforcement officers or by a person’s family members, but they can only be issued by a judge.

“It’s really intended to intervene on that trajectory of violence,” said Shannon Frattaroli, a professor with the Johns Hopkins Center for Gun Violence Solutions.

The process begins when the of ficer or family members files a peti tion for a temporary “extreme risk protection order,” or ERPO with the court. The petitioner has to provide evidence of the need for the ERPO, signing an affidavit under oath and providing a “reasonable basis for believing” those facts exist.

The court then must hold a hear ing within one business day. A judge will decide whether a “preponder ance” of the evidence supports the case for removing weapons. That means the evidence must show the argument is “more probably true than not.”

the nation. Finally, it opens up the question of what level of tragedy the City would respond to (1 dead, 5 dead, 10+ dead). I concur with his recommendation,” Freitag wrote in an email.

If so, the judge can issue a tempo rary protection order, which stays in effect for a maximum of 14 days. The respondent then has to surrender their firearms to law enforcement. They also can sell or transfer the guns to a federally registered fire arm dealer, and they must surrender any concealed carry permit.

The court then has to hold a second hearing to determine whether the order should be continued beyond two weeks.

This time, the petitioner — again, members of law enforcement or the family — has to establish “clear and convincing” evidence that allowing the person to have guns would pose a “significant risk” to themselves or others. Respondents who don’t have an attorney are represented by a court-appointed attorney.

If the judge issues the extended or der, it stays in effect for 364 days, and it can be renewed by the court. After it expires, law enforcement must re turn any guns they confiscated from the person.

The Colorado law went into effect on Jan. 1, 2020.

Colorado authorities do not use the law often

Nineteen states, plus Washington D.C., have “red flag” laws, according to the Johns Hopkins Center for Gun Violence Solutions.

So far, Colorado authorities have used the law far less often than in other states, according to an Associ ated Press analysis.

For example, Florida’s rate of issuance was ten times higher than Colorado’s. From April 2019 through the end of 2021, Colorado courts issued 151 orders, or about 3.3 per 100,000 adults, according to data from the AP.

Authorities in El Paso County have used the law even less — about 2.3 removals per 100,000 adults.

Political leaders in the county have

“To me, if we did anything it should be to stand with victims and those affected. But please see his feedback and I would appreciate your advice,” DeMott wrote to Fre itag with Davis’ comments.

Freitag suggested Westminster’s Inclusivity Board make a statement instead, as they have done in the past.

City Councilors Obi Ezeadi and Sarah Nurmela made a combined statement with Arvada City Coun cilor Lauren Simpson.

“We stand in solidarity with the LGBTQ+ community in mourning this senseless act of hate, and reject ing dangerous anti-LGBTQ+ rheto

resisted the use of the law. In 2019, county commissioners voted unani mously to become a “Second Amend ment Preservation County.” The red flag law was being debated in the legislature at the time.

Commissioners at the time pledged to “actively resist the legislation,” arguing that it was unconstitutional because it did not allow enough due process before taking someone’s guns.

And the El Paso County Sheriff, Bill Elder, previously put limits on how his deputies would use the law.

In a 2020 statement, the Sheriff’s Office said that deputies would only request removal orders and search for guns when they could find the “probable cause” of a crime. That’s a stricter standard than what’s required by the law, which is focused on the possibility of violence — and not whether someone has committed a crime. The office declined to com ment for this story, saying the state’s law about criminal justice records prevented them from talking about the earlier case.

The policy was meant to “ensure that the rights of people to be free from unreasonable search and sei zures, and to receive due process of law,” according to the statement. The right to bear arms is guaranteed in the Second Amendment, and some see the red flag as curtailing that right, since it allows guns to be taken away without a person being con victed of a crime.

Elder has not commented on the 2021 incident that apparently in volved the suspected Club Q gun man.

Similar fights played out elsewhere in the state, including Weld County, where Sheriff Steve Reams said he would rather go to jail himself than confiscate someone’s guns. In all, more than half the state’s counties made similar declarations, CPR News reported.

ric, legislation, and sentiment,” the statement reads.

Ezeadi offered the rest of West minster’s city council to co-sign the statement on Nov. 23, though no one responded as of Nov. 27.

Similar to Westminster, Thornton didn’t release a statement either, and that’s typical. According to Spokesperson Todd Barnes, city staff encourages councilors to use their time during council comments at city council meetings to voice their concerns, feelings and beliefs.

No councilors spoke on the issue at the Nov. 29 meeting.

For Northglenn, Mayor Meredith Leighty began their Nov. 28 city council meeting with a statement supporting the victims of the trag

But authorities in many of those counties later used the orders. Kai ser Health News reported this June that protection orders had been filed in 20 of the sanctuary counties.

When the petitions are filed, judges often approve them. In 2020, about 85 percent of petitions filed by law enforcement resulted in year long protection orders, CPR News re ported.

Colorado’s law is similar to other states

The nation’s first red flag law was passed in 1999 in Connecticut, and their use spread more quickly after the massacre at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Fla.

The laws broadly follow the same model, but there are some varia tions.

For example, Colorado allows only law enforcement and family members to file the petitions. But several other states and Washington, D.C., allow a broader set of people to petition, variously including school administrators ; doctors; and, in California, employers and cowork ers.

But the greatest differentiator between the states, according to Frat taroli, may be the level of enthusi asm among law-enforcement leaders. Research into the effects of the laws is ongoing, since most imple mented only in the last few years. But Frattaroli sees promise.

“This is a complex problem that has a lot of causes at its core, and it needs a lot of different solutions to turn this around,” the researcher said. “I do view ERPO as a promis ing solution that has the potential to make a big difference — again, if it’s implemented.”

coming up with 900 supportive housing units.

Denver City Council earlier this month approved a $983,456 contract with the nonprofit The Fax, which recently bought The Westerner and Sand & Sage motels, neighboring properties on East Colfax. The plan is that beginning next fall, after a basic remodel, Volunteers of America of Colorado will lease both properties and operate a family shelter called Theodora Family Motel.

The motels will have a combined 36 units, each with a refrigerator and microwave.

Then in 2028, The Fax will redevelop the two motels into affordable apartments.

The city used funds from the federal American Rescue Plan to support the project, which in the near term will provide shelter for homeless families and veterans while a family shelter on West Colfax undergoes a remodel.

The news followed a September announcement that the city would spend $5 million in federal coronavirus aid to support the Colorado Coalition for the Homeless’ purchase of a former La Quinta Inn.

That hotel, near Interstate 25 and a few blocks north of Coors Field along Park Avenue West, has been used by the coalition since April 2020 to provide 103 rooms for people who were living outside with COVID or had pre-existing health conditions, including pregnancy, that made them at high risk for complications with the virus.

The former La Quinta — now called the Park Avenue Inn — will continue operating as a shelter through at least 2024. The long-term vision, though, is to redevelop the building into about 200 units of supportive housing, which includes access to mental health and substance use counseling, job training and other services. The coalition purchased the hotel about a year ago, using bridge financing that its new contract with the city will help it pay back.

The homeless coalition’s executive director, John Parvensky, called motels a “lifeline” for the homeless during the pandemic. Now, as the pandemic winds down, that emergency use is transforming into longterm solutions to the crisis, he said.

Next up in the homeless coalition’s motel acquisitions is the Clarion Inn, at the junction of Interstate 25 and Interstate 70 in north Denver. The nine-story building has 215 rooms and a banquet hall, which Parvensky views as an ideal spot to transition people out of tent encampments and into longer-term housing.

Parvensky, who is retiring after 37 years at the coalition, said the pandemic exacerbated the homelessness crisis in the city — but also brought much-needed federal dollars that led to creative ways to produce housing. “I’m trying to find more of those types of opportunities while the money is available, and lock in those gains for the long run,” he said.

But even before COVID, the coalition was eyeing motels as part of its long-term strategy. It purchased a former Quality Inn in northeast Denver, near Interstate 70 and Quebec Street, in 2019. The remodeled

property opened in January 2020 as Fusion Studios, with 139 units, most of which are supportive housing that comes with access to health care and therapy.

Another city-funded motel-tohousing project is in the works, though progressing slowly.

Last year, Denver Mayor Michael Hancock and U.S. Rep. Diana DeGette announced plans to spend $2 million in federal money to buy the Stay Inn, just south of Interstate 70 in northeast Denver. The long-term plan is to turn the 94-room hotel into supportive housing units, but the project still has not been finalized.

The city’s five-year plan, from 2022-26, calls for creating 7,000 affordable homes, either through ownership or rental properties. Of those, the city’s housing stability office wants 900 supportive housing units, which are units that come with on-site support that helps people stay housed. The plan also includes a goal of reducing eviction filings by 25% and decreasing “unsheltered homlessness” by 50%.

The mayor’s budget includes more than $77 million in federal funding for homelessness this year, support for various housing projects “to a degree that could not have been contemplated in the early 2000s,” said Britta Fisher, who heads the city’s Department of Housing Stability. The increased visibility of homelessness in the city, along with residents’ concerns about rising home prices, have made it easier to persuade officials and the community at large to support new ways to tackle the homelessness problem, Fisher said.

“There is a lot of shared pain for folks who are feeling the pinch of affordability,” she said. “They are worried about where their kids and their grandkids will live and whether they can stay in Denver. It is that shared pain that has been felt by so many that has thrust this to a shared concern.

“I don’t have to explain it. They

see it and they feel it.”

The spring of 2020 brought a “dramatic and rapid shift” in how the city had to provide housing for the homeless, Fisher said, and city officials, like others around the country, “quickly looked to our empty motels.”

Denver contracted with six motels to provide emergency housing during the pandemic. The city so far has contracted to spend about $40 million with the Colorado Coalition for the Homeless and $25.8 million with the Salvation Army, two nonprofits that have been placing people in motel rooms since the COVID pandemic began. The funds pay for motel leasing and staffing.

The city also funds health, counseling and other services for residents at several former motels that are now used as temporary shelters or affordable housing.

That includes Fusion Studios, the homeless coalition’s studio apartment building that was once a Quality Inn, and the Volunteers

of America Family Motel on West Colfax, which was purchased about 20 years by the VOA and converted into a family shelter. It has served as temporary housing for families and veterans while they apply for longer-term housing programs.

The city is also leasing the Aloft hotel in downtown Denver to provide rooms for people who are homeless and have COVID or are at high risk of complications if they develop the virus. And it leases a former hotel now operated by the Denver Housing Authority as short-term shelter space, as well as contracts with U.S. Motels North Denver for rooms at two north Denver motels.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Red Flag should be simple

So the suspect in the Colorado Springs Q club mass murder turns out to be, unsurprisingly, a person who was a prime candidate for targeting under Colorado’s red flag law, having threatened his own mother with violent death in an exciting variety of ways.

It appears that our red flag law allows local authorities the latitude to decline to avail themselves of it. And, of course, El Paso County is one of those authorities in the state whose interpretation of the Constitution’s Second Amendment (or misinterpretation) is always a more important holdfast than the care of human beings — sane or otherwise — within their boundaries.

The County Sheriff’s office has never, in the nearly two years the Extreme Risk Protection Order (ERPO) law has been in force, initiated a red flag gun seizure, not even on the Q club killer when he was arrested for

millions of young men who fought for freedom and defeated tyranny.

Now, eighty one years later, we as living Americans, are the beneficiaries of the sacrifice made by those soldiers, sailors, Marines, pilots and Merchant Marines. God bless every one of them and their families. May we never forget what they did.

Adams County to consider homeless partnership in Denver

At first blush, I wondered why the Board of Adams County Commissioners would invest federal money into a homeless facility located in the City and County of Denver.

However, as I looked at the geographical location and thought through the good that it would bring, I concluded it would be a good investment of federal pandemic money.

The endeavor involves the former Clarion Hotel located at 200 W. 48th Avenue on the southwest quadrant of the I-70 and I-25 interchanges i.e.

the Mouse Trap. The partnership would bring money from the City and County of Denver ($10.4 million), Colorado Division of Housing ($10.7 million), the Colorado Coalition for Homeless ($2.3 million) and Adams County ($3.8 million) together to provide 215 dwelling units for homeless people.

A total of 108 units would be transitional/non-congregate shelter/bridge housing along with 107 studio units of 300 square feet with mini-fridges and microwave units.

Regional approach to homelessness works

If there were would be a punch line to the above story, it would be “regional approaches to addressing homelessness can work.”

Fundamentally, homelessness does not pay much attention to governmental boundaries. Former hotels are a good option for conversion to viable dwelling units for homeless people.

The key to reducing (I am not

saying eliminating) homelessness is a combination of programs both local and regional. Adams County, with the listed partners, is to be applauded for this cooperative venture.

While Adams County’s financial portion has not been approved at the time of writing this story, I have good reason to believe the Commissioners will approve the funds and be a partner.

We need local government leaders to expand their perspective like this partnership to work together to help reduce a growing societal issue. There is not any single solution to homelessness. As I have said before, it will take various programs and services along with various forms of housing to significantly reduce homelessness in Colorado.

Another much needed component, that applies to the north/ northwest suburbs, and counties

Can Tri-State move fast enough?

Grocery stores have been consolidating. With utilities, the opposite is happening. We’re seeing some of them start to come apart. Specifically in question is whether Colorado’s second-largest electrical provider, Tri-State Generation and Transmission, will survive this great pivot in how we produce and consume electricity.

Xcel Energy, Colorado’s largest utility, seems secure in its business model even as the world of electricity turns upside down. It might have the last coal plant standing. Comanche 3 — sometimes called Pueblo 3 — is scheduled to retire no later than the end of 2030. But the utility has been fleeing coal since at least 2017 when the plunging prices of wind and solar became obvious. It reliably gives shareholders returns of around 9%.

Tri-State has no private investors. It was created by electrical cooperatives in 1952 to transmit electricity. Over time it added coal plants and other generating sources to its portfolio. It delivers power to 42 electrical cooperatives in four states, including 17 in Colorado.

In 2018, Xcel delivered 52% of elec-

tricity in Colorado and Tri-State 18% followed by Colorado Springs Utilities and then other smaller utilities.

A decade ago, Tri-State was stodgy and calcified. At the time, it was still going through the motions of trying to build a humongous coal plant in Kansas. Luckily for its members, TriState failed. By 2019, Tri-State had set out to embrace changes. That includes closing its last coal-fired station in Colorado by 2030.

The changed outlook in rural Colorado served by the cooperatives was evident at the annual conference of the Colorado Rural Electric Association in late October. The very name of the conference, “innovations summit,” reflected recognition of change.

Absent were undercurrents of just a few years ago, when panel moderators made jokes about climate change with rolls of their eyes. This year, one farmer, who said his tractor was already worth more than his house, pushed back against the idea of electrification of agricultural implements. That was not the general tenor, though. Rural co-ops mostly accept that we will have to figure out electricity — and energy more broadly — without putting emissions into the atmosphere. They also recognize that electricity will play a broader role in transportation and buildings.

Some co-ops have been moving more briskly than others. Holy Cross

Energy, the cooperative serving 50,000 members in the Vail, Aspen, and Rifle areas, has an audacious goal of delivering 100% emission-free energy by 2030. Bryan Hannegan, the chief executive, explained his cooperative’s plans for microgrids. Holy Cross is one of five cooperatives in Colorado independent of Tri-State.

As for Tri-State, 15 years ago it had a chief executive who poo-pooed the idea of climate change on national television. Now, it has a chief executive who openly discusses the way forward toward even deeper emissions cuts.

If cost-effective technology for emissions-free electricity exists for 80% to 90%, the answers about 100% goals remain unclear. Some technology or set of technologies must be scaled up to balance the intermittency of renewables. Deeper thinkers about the energy transition, including Aspen native Hal Harvey, co-author of “The Big Fix,” say nuclear may deliver the answer. It’s not cost-effective now, but at one time, neither was solar. Geothermal is another candidate. Both were agenda items at the conference.

Hydrogen was, too. Duane Highley, the chief executive of Tri-State since April 2019, said he sees hydrogen possibly being employed at Craig when the coal plants close. It could employ

Memories of Leonard and Ruby

It was inevitable. You knew the house, out-buildings and the large dead trees would disappear. It was just a matter of time.

Leonard and Ruby Holtzclaw owned a small acreage on the west side of Sheridan Boulevard across from Hyland Greens Subdivision at about 101st Avenue.

Call them hardworking, civic minded, down-to-earth folks. They were Westminster residents for at least 40-50 years and proud of it. They would attend city council meetings at the old city hall on 76th Avenue just west of Federal Boule vard like clockwork. When the city built the “new” city hall in 1988, Leonard and Ruby were right there sitting in the back of the council chambers listening to every word. They came early to read the agenda memorandums so they would be prepared for the meeting.

Their civic-mindedness always impressed me as they took the time and had the interest to stay informed. And they asked tough

questions!

They have both passed and now their house has been torn down along with other buildings and the trees. Their property was acquired along with other parcels south of 104th Avenue on the west side of Sheridan Boulevard for residential development.

So, the development was approved by city council and now the land will be produce townhouses, pairedhomes and single family detached homes.

Thank goodness there will not be any apartments!

Regardless of changing the land from agriculture and horse pasture into suburbia, I will always have a warm spot in my heart for Leonard and Ruby. They remain role models!

This holiday season seems like the toughest one yet for individuals and families to “get by.” Inflation is taking its toll on what money will buy for food, rent and health care.

What we are seeing is troubling on two different fronts. First, the number of “new faces” each time is increasing. Secondly, it is getting more challenging to procure sufficient food to distribute to those who seek assistance.

Who will Tri-State’s customers be a decade from now? Tri-State has lost two customers to Denver-based Guzman Energy in recent years, and neither co-op seems to be look ing back. Now, two more Tri-State co-ops, La Plata Electric and San Miguel Power, both plan to get sub stantial amounts of electricity from new sources.

Other co-ops may leave altogether. United Power, which serves outly ing areas north of Denver, repre

Tri-State has enormous value in its transmission lines. Its coal plants, though, appear to represent a liability. It has about $3.26 billion in short- and long-term debt.

Will Tri-State by 2030 look somewhat the same, only sleeker and even more agile? Or will it have a new business model altogether?

Police chief survey was a good move

Kudos to Westminster staff who provided the public the on-line survey about the next police chief. Given the fact that this position is the most sensitive and important department head to be hired by the city manager, it was a prudent and transparent step to take.

Did Colorado Springs law enforcement drop the ball?

As more information is coming out about the shooter in the Club

Q incident, some of us — including Governor Polis — are raising a righteous question: Should the El Paso County Sheriff’s Office or the Colorado Springs Police Department have used the state’s Red Flag law in a previous incident involving the shooter?

A bomb threat by the shooter had been reported to law enforcement about a year ago in which they responded. On the surface, I would say the situation was worthy of exercising the procedures under the Red Flag law. This is where a family or household member or law enforcement can take steps to seek court authorization to take away the involved individual’s guns for a period of time.

El Paso County Sheriff’s Office has never used this law in almost three years while the City of Colorado Springs has only exercised the option three times. It’s no secret that some law enforcement agencies have turned a cold shoulder to using the 2019 passed law.

Let’s start right there with an investigation.

his 2021 dalliance with matricide. And in that case, it appears that his family also declined to petition for an ERPO seizure. It’s fascinating to see omerta being practiced in the heartland of America, but I wonder how the families of the club victims feel about this kind of solidarity?

BY MICHAEL BOOTH THE COLORADO SUN

The lettuce is blooming nicely on the rollaway walls.

According to the farmer’s iPad, the calibrated nutrients are flowing smoothly and accurately through the tubes.

It’s 30 degrees outside, but there’s a tantalizing garden of tangy, restaurant-ready produce inside this cozy, pristine shipping container.

Somewhere behind and among the pawn shops and the gas stations and the used tire traders and the body shops along South Broadway, on a former used car lot on Acoma Street, a couple

of snazzy high-tech containers are parked to start an urban farming revolution.

Ullr’s Garden, launched a few months ago by a couple of brothers who want to save the world and sell some sustainable arugula, is growing the equivalent of a 10-acre farm on a dusty 7,500-square-foot lot. The lettuce and arugula and basil and romaine grow horizontally, while hanging from moveable walls packed inside the climatecontrolled trailers. The farmers sit at a folding table in the nearby shed and plot their next expansion: stackable farm containers.

Nick Millisor, one of the brothers behind Ullr’s Garden, still can’t believe they’re doing what they’re doing.

“We are growing local produce, in the middle of Denver, on an old used car lot, the kind you used to roll your car windows up when you

drove by,” Millisor laughs.

Vertical farms don’t stint on flavor

And their stuff tastes great. The emerald green basil snaps with a hint of licorice. The arugula is laced with a wild mustard flavor. The butter lettuce, sold with root ball intact, has an earthy flavor belying the fact the growing walls are purposefully insulated from any local dirt.

One trailer with 365 days of optimal growing conditions can produce the equivalent of a 5-acre seasonal farm, Nick and Luke Millisor say. Employing a closed loop for the water and nutrients, each trailer uses up only five gallons a day from water buffaloes they fill offsite.

“We don’t even have a water tap here yet,” Nick laughed.

And when the weather turns truly frigid, say 10 degrees from a recent overnight snow, a conscientious farmer can check on the baby bibb while sitting at home in bed with a laptop.

“If anything isn’t running optimal-

ly, the farm will literally send me a text message,” Nick said, waving his iPhone over the transplanting tables. Sensors throughout the trailer are connected to wi-fi.

Urban farming and hydroponics a great mix, experts say

Independent experts on vertical, hydroponic farming say they can’t predict the success of Ullr’s business model, but agree the revolution in well-designed shipping containers could indeed preserve the environment and extend better nutrition to remote consumers.

Rising world population, scarce water amid climate change and urban neighborhoods neglected by fresh food stores, “these are the multifaceted reasons why we’re seeing this surge in interest,” said Josh Craver, an assistant professor in controlled environment horticulture at Colorado State

University.

“It’s not hard to see pretty quickly that you can produce, per square foot, way more food in these containers than you can in the field,” Craver said.

We are growing local produce, in the middle of Denver, on an old used car lot, the kind you used to roll your car windows up when you drove by.

The Ullr’s Garden name for their parking lot container farm honors the brothers’ time grow ing up skiing in Breckenridge, home to the Ullr Fest winter sports party. Nick Millisor comes at farming with all the technical skills of a self-described liberal arts eclectic and sci-fi nerd. He’d been toiling in real estate when the strange winds of COVID and climate change turned his 2021 up side down and he went in search of a meaningful project to better the world.

There was a week where Ger many flooded and the West was burning and a Canadian heat wave was cooking shellfish alive in the ocean.

“I didn’t want to deal with super-rich people’s problems with real estate anymore,” Nick Milli sor said. “And so I convinced my brother to join me, and then my cousin, and I was like, ‘You just want to do something crazy and start growing food in a container?’ And they said yes.”

Luke Millisor supplied the actual technical knowledge, from his experience managing a neuroscience lab at University of Colorado. Colorado’s increasing water challenges led them toward water-stingy hydroponic farming and to the equipment catalogs of storage container outfitters.

“We’re not the only ones doing this you know. I would love to say that we’re the pioneers behind this, but a lot of smarter people have basically led us to this point where this technology is almost automatic,” Nick Millisor said. “It’s so easy. I mean, I have zero experience farming, other than growing some stuff in my mom’s garden as a kid.”

Ullr’s Garden sent itself to in door farm training

The container outfitters sup plied a two-day boot camp on vertical farming.

The would-be farmers learned there’s almost zero water use in the latest designs, no contamina tion of runoff with excess fertil izer or pesticides, precise control of nutrients, efficient LED light ing powered by clean electricity. They have two electric vehicles to deliver produce within a 5-mile radius, boosting their effort to become carbon neutral with the overall operation. Leaving the root ball on a head of lettuce helps it last on the shelf for a couple of weeks and reduces food waste.

A fully outfitted container, with 24,000 individual LED pinpoint lights and temperature controlled at 68 to 70 degrees, costs about

$170,000, Nick Millisor said. Ullr’s Garden can grow 500 varieties of produce to meet the whims of the market, and tweak the grow lights for goals as esoteric as the optimal color of a red lettuce leaf.

Accelerating efficiencies in lighting and heating have powered the surge in hydroponic container farms, said CSU’s Craver. Old grow lamps built up too much heat, while improved LEDs produce precise photons that the plant can employ for photosynthe sis.

“So we really are sitting on the shoulders of giants on this one,” Nick Millisor said.

Vertical and remote, but not out of touch

As the water drips down the wall channels and then recircu lates, sensors constantly check pH and mineral levels, among other growth factors. Reserve tanks dribble in supplement adjust ments to the mix at the touch of the iPad. Key in siting the contain ers is pouring concrete footings at a 2% tilt to guarantee the water flow.

Most varieties started from seeds are ready in six to seven weeks. Harvesting means clean scissors trimming the walls, or pulling whole heads with root balls.

Now, about that business model. Negotiating with individual restaurants may not be the full answer, though Ullr’s Garden is in talks with a few looking for local supply and input into the variet ies. The next challenge for the Mil lisors, joined by cousin and chief financial officer Ian Randall, is to launch a farm share program.

Other farm share subscriptions are popular in summer and fall, with buyers picking up or getting delivered a box of outdoors-grown seasonal items ranging from let tuce to tomatoes to squash. But the outdoor shares run out by late fall, where Ullr’s Garden can deliver lettuce, herbs and other greens year-round. The company has 150 shares on sale now, to be delivered within the 5-mile radius.

A prime calculation in closequarters farming, Craver said, is which plants draw top dollar for the space they take up. Corn is all fibrous scaffolding, producing a handful of kernels that sell for 25 cents an ear. Root ball lettuce is nearly 100% edible, and can retail for $5 or $6 a head.

There are large hydroponic operations in metro Denver that appear to be thriving, Craver said, and smaller operations like Ullr’s Garden are busy figuring out their costs and a workable scale.

“When you look at the business model, it definitely does work,” Craver said.

I didn’t want to deal with superrich people’s problems with real estate anymore … I was like, ‘You just want to do something crazy and start growing food in a con tainer?’ And they said yes.

Of course, there’s a lucrative container model selling billions of dollars of product a year in Colo rado — marijuana. The Millisors, though, are adamant they want to feed the world, not medicate it.

Denver’s zoning office is well organized to approve urban farming, Nick Millisor said, but they did have to address the elephant in the container.

“I was like, ‘I’m doing a hydroponic garden,’ and you could just see it in their eyes, oh no, there’s another one, and I was like, ‘Not marijuana! Not mar ijuana!’ And she’s like, okay, STAMP, get out of here.’ ”

Container farms could be stackable

The Ullr’s Garden trio plots their next move from underneath the modest shed look ing out on the lot. If marketing picks up and the consumerdirect shares work out, there’s room for expan sion with ground space for two or three more containers.

Plus, as anyone who’s seen a modern port city can tell you, they’re stackable. Ullr’s Garden antic ipates going at least a second story of vertical, and perhaps more if the zon ing folks are feeling frisky.

They’re considering transforming the shed into an events and education space,

knowing that schoolchildren would thrive on a cool hydropon ics and LED lesson. As for the pro duce, they’re still consider ing winter decorative flow ers, edible flowers that could draw top dollar, and radishes. One grower figured out how to do hops indoors, another grew berries, though that may not scale up to be useful.

One constant, besides the 68 degrees inside the trailers, is how welcom ing and helpful everyone in vertical farming has been in sharing tips with Ullr’s Garden, Nick Millisor said.

“Everyone has the tool. Now everyone’s kind of figuring out how best to use it,” he said. “And that’s what I think is most exciting for me.”

‘A Christmas Story’ for everyone at Miners Alley

on the stage and we certainly cannot bring the winters on the shores of Lake Michigan in Indiana to the stage either.

COMING ATTRACTIONS

There are some stories that you can’t even remember when you first encountered them — they just seem to have always been around. For countless families, the immortal film “A Christmas Story” is a perfect example of this phenomenon. While most of us are familiar with it on the screen, Miners Alley Playhouse, 1224 Washington Ave. in Golden, has brought “A Christmas Story” to the stage and will be running it through Friday, Dec. 23. Performances are at 7:30 p.m. on Thursday, Friday and Saturday and 2 p.m. on Sunday. The Dec. 22 is a special benefit performance for the children’s theater program that will feature a visit from Santa, special beverages and more.

We spoke to director Rory Pierce about the show, bringing a classic to the stage and more. Interview edited for clarity and brevity. Tell me about the show:

People have grown up listening to the stories of Ralphie Parker’s childhood and now know them almost as well as they know their own. It is a classic tale of Christmas, filled with best friends, budding romances and the longing for the best Christmas gift.

Why did you select this as this year’s holiday show?

“A Christmas Story” hits so many of the notes that people look for during the holidays: family, friendship, humor, tenderness and nostalgia for a time long gone but never forgotten.

What are the challenges of bringing a wellknown story to the stage in such a different form?

Doing a show that so many people already know does bring its own set of challenges. We know that the characters on the stage will not look like the people in the film. The house cannot be recreated

But we can bring back memories of our childhood. The days when snowbanks towered over our heads. When the problems we needed to solve seemed almost insurmountable. When moms and dads were our true heroes and bullies were not unbeatable.

What has the audience reaction been like so far?

I couldn’t be happier with the way the audience has embraced this show. From people who know the movies so well they watch it multiple times every year, to the people that have never heard of it before, they have all left the theater with smiles on their faces and warmth in their hearts. And they have shared their feelings about the show with us both at intermission and on their way out.

If people aren’t familiar with the story, what do you want them to know about what they can expect?

If you know nothing about this story, get ready for a Christmas adventure that will remind you of your youth and make you glad you came.

What do you hope audiences come away with?

As people leave, I just hope they think of the holidays as a time for family, fun, and unforgettable memories.

Grocery, convenience stores to sell wine

Change starts in March

BY TAMARA CHUANG THE COLORADO SU

After counting up the remaining votes from Denver, Proposition 125 changed direction and narrowly passed, letting Coloradans buy a bottle of wine at the grocery store.

Grocery and convenience stores with a license to sell beer can begin selling wine March 1. That’s ap proximately 1,819 licensees as of June 2021, according to the Depart ment of Revenue. They’ll also be able to offer beer and wine tastings.

“We’re pleased that Coloradans will soon be able to pick up a bottle of wine when purchasing grocer ies,” said Rick Reiter, campaign director for Wine in Grocery Stores. “Consumer habits are evolving, and it was inevitable that either this election, or one soon thereafter, that Colorado would become the 40th state to have wine in grocery stores.”

The measure was losing by less than a percentage point for most of election night and the next two days. The “yes” votes jumped ahead on the third evening.

As votes were counted, the opin ion was stark between rural and urban communities. Rural counties voted largely against Proposition 125 while the Denver metro area and El Paso County were in favor.

La Plata County, in the south west corner of the state, rejected

Proposition 125 by a clear majority, or 57.3% of voters. Denver voters, meanwhile, approved the measure by nearly the opposite, with 55% voting in favor.

The measure statewide finished ahead by more than 28,000 votes, far outside the margin at which a recount would be triggered. The split was 50.6% in favor, 49.4% against out of 2.43 million votes.

Jack Llewellyn, CEO of the Durango Chamber of Commerce, urged members to consider Propo sition 125 in terms of the local impact on local liquor stores. Employees and owners are often the experts who can suggest the perfect wine for every occasion. He fears many local stores will go out of business.

“In metropolitan areas, you have so many options and choices. The convenience becomes the most important thing and not thinking about a small business owner,” Llewellyn said. “Things that are decided for our state are decided because the population is in Den ver.”

Proposition 125 opposition felt there was still hope that it could turn around with thousands of votes remaining last week, even if not all were in metropolitan areas, said Chris Fine, executive director of the Colorado Licensed Bever age Association, which represents small liquor retailers and opposed all three alcohol measures.

“We know it hasn’t been trend ing in our direction and obviously

that’s due to metro Denver, Arapa hoe and El Paso and the big coun ties that have been on the other side of us,” Fine said.

With Proposition 125, there will still be rules for alcohol sales. Gro cery stores can sell wine, but not through self-checkout. The mea sure also doesn’t change any other existing rules, such as the prohi bition of sales between midnight and 8 a.m., and no alcohol sales to anyone under 21.

Two other alcohol-related mea sures failed this election.

Proposition 124, which failed in all 64 counties, would have let a liquor retailer operate eight locations, up from the current three, and then allow companies to have an un limited number operating by 2037. Colorado’s existing law still allows expansion, but much more slowly. Liquor stores can add up to four locations starting in 2027.

And the defeat of Proposition 126, which lost 48.9% to 51.1%, ended plans for alcohol delivery by third parties like DoorDash and Insta cart. While advocates had hoped third parties would help small liquor stores expand into delivery if they hadn’t yet because they couldn’t spare employees, liquor stores can currently deliver alco hol under existing state statute. They just have to use their own staff and own or lease their own vehicles. The campaign to approve the measure was largely funded by DoorDash and Instacart.

“At the same time, we are disap

pointed that thousands of Colorado small businesses will miss out on vital economic opportunities that third-party alcohol delivery would have provided,” said Reiter, who represented the Yes on 125 and 126 campaigns.

The loss of Proposition 126 also dashed the hope of anyone hoping to keep to-go cocktails flowing. The menu item was an allowance made in the pandemic to help restau rants recover revenues. It ends in July 2025.

“It’s widely known that restau rants have been one of the most devastated industries over the past two years and it’s disheartening to see that voters are not willing to support these businesses in serv ing their guests in a responsible way,” Colorado Restaurant Asso ciation President and CEO Sonia Riggs said in a statement. “Without Proposition 126, alcohol to go is set to expire in summer 2025, and that crucial revenue lifeline will be stripped from restaurants when they need it most. It will impact customer service, revenue, and the convenience that consumers have come to expect.”

Fourth-place showing for Hawks at own tournament

BY JONATHAN MANESS SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA

THORNTON – The Horizon High School girls basketball team took fourth at its annual Best of the Nest basketball tournament Dec. 3.

The Hawks lost to Class 6A, No. 9-ranked Ralston Valley Mustangs 6452 in the third-place game and capped the tournament with a 1-2 record. Horizon defeated Vista Peak Prep 57-55 in the opening round before losing to Class 5A’s top-ranked Windsor Wizards 58-51 in the second round.

The tournament featured some of the top squads in Class 5A and 6A, including Pine Creek, which took first place after beating Windsor 50-32 in the title match.

Horizon’s junior guard Natalie Thornton was chosen to the all-tournament team, joining Pine Creek’s Leekaya Burke-Perryman and Brynae Stewart, Windsor’s Hailee Wright, Rangeview’s D’Ajha Washington and Sophia Sabus from Ralston Valley. In the third-place contest, the

Elyssa Cardella led Ralston Valley with 20 points, while Sabus added 18. In the matchup against Windsor, it was a back-and-forth contest with the two squads exchanging baskets throughout the first half. Windsor led 13-11 after the first, but the Hawks answered with two big runs in the second to take the lead. Ives’ fastbreak basket capped a six-point run, and a basket by Kaitlyn Frydenlund gave Horizon its biggest lead of the half at 31-23, but Windsor cut the lead to 33-30 at halftime.

The Wizards’ second-half defense proved to be the difference in the contest. The suffocating defense made it difficult for the Hawks to get an open shot, and Horizon only scored 18 second-half points.

Ives finished the contest with a game-high 23 points and hit six, 3-pointers. Sophomore Kaitlin Schumann led the Hawks with eight rebounds.

Horizon opened the tournament in a tight matchup with Vista Peak. The

Colorado nurse wins national teaching award

Tammy Spencer dedicates life to field

BY LINDSEY FORD ROCKY MOUNTAIN PBS

Out of thousands of nurse educa tors in the country, one of the top five is right here in Colorado.

Tammy Spencer, DNP, RN, has dedicated most of her life to nursing. She has taught at the University of Colorado College of Nursing for over 30 years. Earlier this year, she was honored with the National League of Nursing’s “Nurse Educator of the Year” award.

“I can think of several times in the past three months that patients have had an impact on me,” said Spencer. “I mean, you can’t help but be moved by their stories, and you can’t help but feel such an honor and privilege to be with that person at one of the most vulnerable times in their lives.”

Spencer was nominated by her nursing colleagues and friends, Gail Armstrongand Peggy Jenkins.

Armstrong said Spencer has been honored with18 awards since she became a faculty member and completed her master’s degree at the University of Colorado College of Nursing in 1989.

“For Tammy to be identified as one of the top five nurse educators in the country is a really, really prestigious award,” Armstrong added.

Armstrong said Spencer’s award did not come as a surprise to her colleagues and students. The nursing school’s Facebook pagewas flooded with heartfelt comments congratulat ing her.

“Tammy Spencer is one of the absolute best out there! She lives her passion for nursing,” one commenter wrote. “I feel blessed to have been one of her students!”

“So well deserved,” another person said. “She’s one of my favorite profes sors I’ve had out of all three of my degrees.”

One of Spencer’s students, Barbara Klontz, shared that Spencer’s teach

ing style is the reason she can under stand complicated topics in school.

“Tammy is about a couple of things: kindness, always — she has a really bright personality and lots of energy — but also she really likes being with people and she treats everyone ... like they’re a friend or a close acquain tance, so it’s really easy to be with her,” Klontz said.

Spencer said her passion is teach ing.

“My students bring me a lot of joy,” she said, “to be in the classroom and to be able to really impact them in such a profound way, to think that you are educating the next generation of nurses.”

Spencer said another passion of hers is policy-making; she explained that she was involved with getting emergency orders signed by Gov ernor Jared Polis to “help lessen burdens of clinical hours required for graduation.” Spencer said she did this because it helped “fill the pipeline at a time when nurses were leaving” dur ing the COVID-19 pandemic.

“I think that more and more policy is needed around nursing. I think nurses have a huge voice in health care,” Spencer said. “We need to use that voice; we need to feel empowered to use that voice.”

Spencer lives by a mantra written by Virginia Henderson, a renowned nurse, writer and scholar.

“[Henderson] described nursing as, ‘nursing is work of the head, work of the heart and work of the hands,’” said Spencer.

Spencer believes one cannot get into nursing without “being passionate.”

“You are handing a newborn for the first time to a mother, you are hold ing the hand of a patient that’s dying. You can’t help but be moved by that,” Spencer said. “So, that’s what nursing means.”

submitted to the state. The agency also reported a 13% increase in monthly riders in September compared with the same time last year.

Four agencies did not re spond to The Colorado Sun’s request for ridership data.

Mountain Metropolitan Transit in Colorado Springs did not see sustained rider ship levels from the zerofare promotion, though numbers in August marked a 39% increase over August 2021 and were 2% shy of pre-pandemic levels, data shows.

For RTD in the Denver metro area and many other participating transit agen cies across the state, the growth marked the high est ridership levels since the pandemic began. For some, the number of riders continued to grow after the fares returned, like for La Junta Transit in south east Colorado, where the number of monthly riders jumped 16% from July to September.

It’s hard to pinpoint the catalysts for those choosing public transportation over their cars in the month after the program as transit agen cies rebound from recordlow numbers during the pandemic, and the impacts

on the environment remain unclear. But some transit experts hope the numbers are a harbinger of new habits.

“Because we’re such a small system, we know most of our riders. We know their kids and their grand kids and their dogs and their neighbors,” said Dawn Block, transit coordinator for La Junta Transit. “We saw new faces and I want to say at least 50% of those we have seen in September and October.”

Grants from the Colorado Office of Energy, allocated under Senate Bill 180, which also sought to increase the popularity of transit, allowed agencies to waive fares on buses and trains during the hottest and smoggiest month of year.

The $28 million was al located for free fares in Au gust 2022 and August 2023, with $11 million each year going to RTD and $3 million each year going to smaller transit agencies.

But air quality impacts from the boost in riders are hard to quantify without a baseline given, according to the RTD’s report on the program, which is slated to repeat for a month next summer for the agency and several others across the state.

In recommendations for next year’s program, the agency called for improved

tracking methods on how waived fares impact the state’s air quality.

There were no significant overcrowding issues or increase in crime on RTD’s buses or trains as ridership surged by 22% in August, compared with July and up 36% from August 2021, RTD reported.

The agency deemed the program “a success in encouraging ridership,” but warned that next year that might not hold true if rider levels continue to rebound after the pandemic or if more people choose to take advantage of the waived fares, the report stated.

RTD customers reported minimal day-to-day disrup tions and said they appreci ated the waived fares, RTD General Manager and CEO Debra Johnson said, citing ridership surveys. Draw ing conclusions from the one-month pilot is chal lenging, as numbers can be influenced by the start of the school year and large scheduled events, like the Colorado Avalanche games during the NHL playoffs and the Stanley Cup champion ship parade.

Of the riders who an swered the surveys, 91% said they had used RTD services before August and 55% indicated they used them more throughout the month.

“The purpose of public

transit lies in the value it provides, and RTD’s participation in this initia tive enabled customers to experience the value of our services, whether their travel habits changed for a day, a month or the whole of the pandemic,” Johnson said in a statement.

For some of the smaller and more rural transit agen cies, including Durango Transit and South Central Council of Governments (serving Huerfano and Las Animas counties), the program attracted new rid ers, according to the public transportation advocacy group Colorado Associa tion of Transit Agencies, or CASTA.

In La Junta, a town of about 7,000 in southeastern Colorado, some residents didn’t know about the tran sit services until they heard it on the radio or were forced to ride the bus due to issues with their personal vehicle.

“But then it’s the best thing since sliced bread,” said Block, the La Junta transit coordinator. “And they tell all their friends and all of their neighbors.”

She’s hoping additional ad vertising next year will help spread awareness.

While ridership continued to grow after the zero-fare promotion ended for many agencies, the end of vaca tion season and the start of

the school year could factor into the boost, transit lead ers warned.

The Archuleta County Mountain Express, which runs in Pagosa Springs, Ar boles and Durango, record ed 612 riders in September, a 105 bump from ridership in July. The transit agency is exploring a way to make transit free year-round, ac cording to CASTA.

Pueblo Transit, which offered free service from the city’s largest food distribu tion site in August, also saw sustained ridership num bers after fares returned with about 17% more riders recorded in September com pared with July.

And in Fountain, south of Colorado Springs along In terstate 25, 135 more people rode the bus in September than in July.

“We were very happy with what we saw during that month because we think it helped us get back a lot of our pre-COVID riders,” Todd Evans, Fountain’s deputy city manager said.

Despite a driver shortage, Evans said he is eager for the town to participate in the program next year and extend the promotion June through August, if possible.

“One hundred percent. As long as we don’t get to the point where we’re overload ing our buses and we don’t have too many riders for our buses,” he said.

WARNING-IMPORTANT INFORMATION

California law provides that, for purposes of division of property upon dissolution of a marriage or domestic partnership or upon legal separation, property acquired by the par ties during marriage or domestic partnership in joint form is presumed to be community property. If either party to this action should die before the jointly held community property is divided, the language in the deed that char acterizes how title is held (i.e., joint tenancy, tenants in common, or community property) will be controlling, and not the community property presumption. You should consult your attorney if you want the community property presumption to be written into the recorded title to the property.
