Potential roadway fees may be coming to Westminster

BY LUKE ZARZECKI LZARZECKI@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A $1 fee increase aimed at xing Westminster’s 1,136 miles roads could be in the future, City Councilors heard April 17.

Councilors said they were unsure, however, and want more information.

“I’d like to fully understand what we need to do to fund and what we need to do to cut,” said City Councilor Lindsey Emmons.

She said she isn’t against increasing the fee, but would like to see if it’s possible to fund the roadways with funds the city already has.

Brock Hu ord, Pavement Management Coordinator, presented a potential increase of $1 per month to roadway fees on residential homes for roadway management at the April 17 study session meeting.

However, the council sent him and his team back to the drawing board. Agreeing with Councilor Emmons, Councilor Bruce Baker agreed and said he would rather fund the improvements with taxes.

Harsh words from Council to colleague

Councilors, mayor accuse Baker of misleading residents

BY LUKE ZARZECKI LZARZECKI@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

City Councilor Bruce Baker endured some harsh criticism from his colleagues April 17, saying he has been misleading residents regarding water rates and the newly approved water treatment plant.

“You have embarked on a plan to, in some cases, abuse some of our senior population and scare them. I’ve gotten hysterical phone calls from people yelling at me about raising their water rates,” said City Councilor Rich Seymour at the April 17 study session.

Seymour said that Baker is taking advantage of community members who “may not fully understand” and sending them “into a tailspin, that forces them to make a phone call that they normally would not do.”

“You are lying to (residents.) You are costing me business time and business hours to talk to chat with these people,” Seymour said.

Since the decision to lower water rates and approve a new water treatment plant, Baker has taken advantage of the Council Comments portion of meetings to explain his distrust in city sta and disapproval of council decisions. ose speeches have sometimes been over ten min-

in ation.

ey also approved a water treatment plant on Jan. 23, one that cost $100 million less than originally planned.

“It’s not a never-ending argument and we have made a decision as a group,” Seymour said.

Mayor Nancy McNally said that Baker has been asking residents to call council members regarding water issues, as well as reaching out to “newspapers.”

On March 1, Baker sent Colorado Community Media an email explaining his belief that city sta hasn’t provided him or the council with accurate information.

“I think the information that City Council has been given is misleading. I think certain sta mem-

that sta wants,” he wrote.

McNally said for next year, she won’t go into protocol discussions unless consequences are put in place for councilors who do not follow the rules. She said there have been “wasted breath” on items due to certain councilors not following protocol.

“We’ve had direction that we have given sta . What are you trying to undo?” said McNally.

“I know you’re trying to stack the deck next week for our city council meeting, terri c, but I don’t get it. Four people, at least, said we’re moving and you’re trying to take us back. It’s frustrating,” McNally said.

Mayor Pro Tem David DeMott said that he has spoken with residents who have been misguided on the

topic and there is a misperception of what the council is doing due to Baker.

“I’ve made (water issues) everything I breathe for five years, and we’ve done a substantial amount of work that has benefited the residents,” he said.

DeMott said that the council has made a commitment to come back to residents in the future to continue to work on a longer-term solution. He said he approves of the past decision on water rates and thinks it is workable.

“It’s taking everything I have to show restraint this evening,” said Seymour.

Baker said that he is concerned that Westminster’s water rates are higher than the surrounding cities.

“We have to buy the same pipes, the same valves, pay the same labor costs, buy the same chemicals,” he said.

He said that staff pulled the numbers set “out of the sky.”

“I don’t think we’ve truly explored (other options). That’s what I’ve told the people I’m calling,” he said.

DeMott noted at the study session on Feb. 2022 that the council discussed five options for balancing reduced rates and nancial impacts to the city. e road to this decision resulted in each councilor not receiving everything they wanted, he said.

McNally said that the council has already made a decision and it’s time to move on.

Northglenn to vote on e-bikes, e-scooter regulations

BY LUKE ZARZECKI LZARZECKI@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Northglenn city sta will bring city council regulations to vote on for e-bikes and e-scooters. e item was presented at the April 17 study session meeting.  According to Director of Parks, Recreation and Culture Amanda

Peterson, e-bikes are currently allowed on public roadways, can be used on anyone and there are no regulations on whether or not they are allowed on trails.

E-scooters are allowed on public roadways, cannot be operated by minors, can’t be shared use

Emmons noted that funding roadways was part of their strategic plan. She’d like to see what the city has and what the city should cut to fully fund their strategic plan.

Pavement quality

Right now, the city’s Pavement Quality Index rests at 54.1, Hu ord said. at’s up from the low rating of 51.1 in 2022 but down from 2019, when it was 65.6. Factors that go into the index include surface distress, thickness, structural integrity and smoothness.

At the same time, the price per ton of asphalt has increased by 17% in 2022, he said. is year, Hu ord said the price is looking to increase by 10-15%.

Mikeal Parlow, Policy & Budget Coordinator, said that in ationary pressures and the increased workload needed to maintain the roadways have created a gap in needed funding. Westminsters federal ARPA funding will help in 2023 but there will be a $7 million shortfall in 2024.

If the city keeps funding at the same rate — about $8 million per year — Hu ord expects the pavement quality index number to drop to about 33.7 by 2032.

Fee increase

One solution would be to increase the roadway improvement fee by $1 per dwelling unit, from $6 per month to $7, Parlow said.

Councilors should also discuss commercial contributions to the fee

to close the funding gap, he said.

Parlow said that commercial operations and businesses in Westminster also pay the $6 fee and councilors could increase the fee based on how the business’ use impacts the roads.

City Councilor Bruce Baker said putting a range on commercial operations would be “mind-boggling,” noting the di erence between a King Soopers and a mom-and-pop store.

City Councilor Sarah Nurmela said she would be in favor of putting the fee on commercial operations and cited the number of trucks that they bring into the city.

“ at’s what’s putting the wear and tear on the roads,” said City Councilor Rich Seymour, in agreement with Nurmela.

Mayor Pro Tem David DeMott said he isn’t opposed to a fee increase, but would also like to look at di erent options. He would like to look at putting fees on commercial operations.

“Commercial certainly brings people outside of the city who are making wear and tear on our streets,” DeMott said.

He said the limiting factor during the last discussions around increasing the rate was sta ng. He asked if the city increased the fee by more than $1, if there would be enough for sta to handle.

Parlow said yes.

DeMott said residents want good streets and he doesn’t think that a $2 increase would bring them “heartburn.”

He also asked about new technology, such as recycled materials and how it can impact climate. Hu ord said everything put on the city’s roadway contains at least 25% recycled material.

Northglenn will consider rules on e-bikes and scooters, especially if they should be allowed on city trails and if minors should be allowed to use them. FILE PHOTO

Six things to know about Colorado’s $38.5B budget

BY JESSE PAUL THE COLORADO SUN

No new federal COVID-19 dollars. Record in ation. State services stretched thin by a growing population.

ose are the circumstances under which the Colorado legislature’s Joint Budget Committee this year drafted the $38.5 billion state budget that takes e ect July 1.

“It’s not a sexy budget,” said state Sen. Rachel Zenzinger, an Arvada Democrat who chairs the JBC. “It’s pretty conservative.”

Sen. Barbara Kirkmeyer, a Brighton Republican who sits on the JBC, called next year’s spending plan a “get ’er done budget.”

But it’s still packed with plenty of notable items. Here’s what you need to know about the budget — being debated by the legislature right now — and how it may a ect you:

e general fund portion of the scal year 2023-24 budget, which is the money state lawmakers have discretion over, is up 8.9% over the current year to $14.7 billion. But Zenzinger said about two-thirds of that new spending is going toward Medicaid, the state and federal program that provides health insurance to lowincome people.

Of the Medicaid dollars, $442 million will be allocated to replacing federal matching funds that are going away as the Biden administration ends the COVID-19 public health emergency and eliminates the enhanced federal Medicaid match rate. Another $396 million was set aside to handle projected increases in Medicaid enrollment because of a slowing economy, as well as for a 3% increase in health care provider rates.

Zenzinger said the rest of the increase is going toward ensuring the state has a 15% reserve in preparation for an economic downturn and to account for in ation’s e ect on the state’s ability to o er government services. e Department of Corrections, for instance, will get $275,000 to cover the increased cost of food served to prison inmates, as well as $1 million for a jump in the cost of utilities.

e JBC also set aside $30 million for the legislature to spend on miscellaneous bills and new, ongoing programs. For the current scal year, it was more than double that amount.

Overall, the budget is smaller than it was last year when you take into consideration the federal American Rescue Plan Act dollars the state had to spend in the current scal year, which ends June 30.

Keep in mind: e Colorado

legislature is constrained in how much it can spend each year by the Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights, which caps government growth based on population increases and the rate of in ation.

While Republicans complain that the state budget is growing too large, it’s TABOR — which conservatives adore and Democrats generally loathe — that really determines the size of the budget.

It’s still up to lawmakers — mainly the Democratic majority in the House and Senate — how the money is spent, but TABOR is the real deciding factor of the top-line number.

Senate Minority Leader Paul Lundeen, R-Monument, said during budget debate in the Senate last week that he wishes the legislature would stop creating new programs and o ces and focus its money on core government responsibilities: education and roads.

“I will be a ‘no’ vote, not in strenuous objection to this budget but in a call of a pursuit of a policy horizon that honors rst our constitutionally mandated requirements and honors rst that which should be our primary priority: the full funding of public education in Colorado,” he said.

One other thing to keep in mind: TABOR requires the state to refund any money it collects over the cap. Next scal year, that’s expected to be

$2.7 billion.

e in ation rate used to calculate the cap, however, lags current conditions, so state budget writers say while the amount of money they have to spend appears large, it’s not keeping up with economic conditions that have increased the cost of governing.

ere are a handful of line items in next year’s budget that could be described as (somewhat) big-ticket items.

- $26 million to purchase a second Sikorski S-70 Black Hawk helicopter that will be converted into a “Firehawk” that can battle wildland res. e legislature set aside money two years ago so Colorado could buy its rst Firehawk. e chopper still hasn’t been put in service, however. e budget also sets aside another $1.7 million to operate and sta the new helicopter.

- $3.2 million for Senate Bill 13, which would help the Division of Fire Prevention and Control investigate the causes and origins of res, with a priority on investigations into wild res.

- $15 million toward a new O ce of School Safety in the Department of Public Safety that will house a variety of existing e orts to prevent and respond to tragedies at K-12 schools. at represents about $9 million in new spending that will help expand some of those existing initiatives. e Senate also passed an amendment allocating an additional $10 million in new spending for a grant program in the new o ce.

- $7.3 million to account for a forecast increase in the state’s prison population.

- $221 million set aside for forthcoming property tax relief legislation, as well as other housing-related bills.

- $115 million to implement Proposition FF, a ballot measure passed by voters in November that

raises taxes on wealthy Coloradans to pay for universal free lunches in public schools. e money will be repaid to the general fund once the tax collections begin.

- $120,000 to respond to the decision to disband Tri-County Health Department and to help Douglas, Arapahoe and Adams counties stand up their own public health agencies.

- $1.6 million that includes funding to hire 14 people to represent the state in Colorado River water negotiations.

State Sen. Je Bridges, a Greenwood Village Democrat who sits on the JBC, said one of his favorite line items in the budget is a $416,000 allocation to hire ve people in the Department of Veterans A airs to help connect Colorado veterans with the bene ts they earned.

“ is is an investment to help veterans get the bene ts they’re entitled to — that they’ve sacri ced for — that the Department of Veterans a airs makes nearly impossible to access,” Bridges said, calling the agency a “labyrinth.”

An item that would likely go overlooked? A $9 million spend on a technology building at Adams State University in the San Luis Valley. Without it, students at the Alamosa school could be left without internet access, Bridges said.

Colorado Gov. Jared Polis wanted the budget to cap the amount staterun colleges and universities can raise undergraduate, in-state student tuition at 4%, but the legislature decided on 5% with the exception of the University of Northern Colorado, which will be able to increase tuition by 6%.

Zenzinger said the state’s higher education institutions had an 11% gap in their mandatory costs and that even with allowing for such a large tuition increase they will only

Requirements dramatically pared back in governor’s “land-use” bill

BY JESSE PAUL AND ELLIOTT WENZLER THE COLORADO SUN

Gov. Jared Polis and Democrats in the Colorado legislature signi cantly pared back their major land-use bill amid big questions about whether their signature a ordable housing initiative at the Capitol this year can get enough support to pass.

Colorado’s largest cities would no longer be required to let multifamily housing with up to six units be built in all residentially zoned areas under a major amendment made to Senate Bill 213. Instead, those cities — like Denver, Aurora, Boulder, Englewood, Colorado Springs, Fort Collins, Lakewood, Pueblo, ornton and Westminster — would only have to let duplexes, triplexes and fourplexes be built in 30% of their land area currently zoned for singlefamily homes, concentrated around train and high-frequency bus corridors where applicable.

e change, which came in midApril, shifts the legislation away from attempting to broadly increase housing density to a more limited approach linked to transit. Without the changes, it appeared the bill, which has received major opposition from cities and towns across the state, would lack enough support to clear its rst committee.

In all, there were 17 amendments made to the bill, totaling dozens of pages. One of the major changes reduces land-use requirements on resort communities, like Aspen and Vail.

e Senate Local Government and Housing Committee approved the overhauled measure on a 4-3 vote, with all of the Democrats on the panel voting “yes” and all of the Republicans voting “no.” It was unclear whether the measure would have enough votes to advance and the committee hearing was delayed for hours while amendments were nalized and negotiated.

Senate Majority Leader Dominick Moreno, a Commerce City Democrat and prime sponsor of the bill, warned that more changes were needed. “By no means does the work stop here,” he said.

Heading into a committee hearing, Sen. Dylan Roberts, an Avon Demo-

crat, appeared to be the swing vote on the committee. He cast a reluctant “yes” vote. “I still have concerns with where the bill is,” he said, adding that there will be “a lot more to do” to get him to back the bill once it is debated on the Senate oor.

But two other Democrats on the committee — Sens. Julie Gonzales of Denver and Tony Exum of Colorado Springs — also expressed anxiety about the measure before voting to advance the legislation. e pair said more changes were needed.

“You will see more amendments coming,” Gonzales said.

An e ort by Sen. Barbara Kirkmeyer, a Brighton Republican on the committee to erase the measure and replace it with an alternative policy with no policy preemptions for local governments was rejected. “Senate bill 213, as it stands right now, … is never going to get us to a ordable housing,” she said. “All it’s going to do is preempt local governments.” e bill now heads to the Senate Appropriations Committee for approval before it can advance to the full Senate.

Under amendments, cities and towns would have to allow duplexes, triplexes and fourplexes to be built in a half-mile radius around rail stations and a quarter-mile around corridors with bus-rapid-transit or where a bus stops every 15 minutes.

If a municipality doesn’t want to allow building of two, three or four units next to certain transit stops they could opt to zone for that kind of housing in a di erent part of their city or town proportional to the area around a transit stop that would have been a ected. In doing so, however, the municipality would have to take steps to prevent people living in those areas from being displaced and would be encouraged to focus the zoning around walkable areas.

At a minimum, Colorado’s largest cities would have to allow duplexes, triplexes and fourplexes in 30% of the areas that are currently zoned for single-family homes. e requirement would also apply to large cities that don’t have train stops or bus rapid transit and bus routes with 15-minute frequencies, though they would be encouraged to prioritize

zoned areas near transit.

Additionally, the amendments remove a provision preventing cities from mandating that new duplexes, triplexes and fourplexes around train stations and along bus routes with a lot of frequency be accompanied by parking. Instead, the change allows municipalities to require that a half a parking spot be built alongside each new housing unit.

e cities that would be subject to the requirements include: Arvada, Aurora, Boulder, Brighton, Broomeld, Castle Pines, Castle Rock, Centennial, Cherry Hills Village, Columbine Valley, Commerce City, Denver, Edgewater, Englewood, Erie, Federal Heights, Glendale, Golden, Greenwood Village, Lafayette, Lakewood, Littleton, Lochbuie, Lone Tree, Longmont, Louisville, Northglenn, Parker, Sheridan, Superior, ornton, Westminster and Wheat Ridge.

Outside of the Denver metro area, Greeley, Fort Collins, Loveland, Windsor, Colorado Springs, Fountain, Grand Junction and Pueblo would also fall under the mandates.

e amendments would also require that cities with bus rapid transit zone for an average housing density of 25 units an acre in at least 25% of the housing-eligible land without a half-mile of stops. e requirement would be the same for within a quarter-mile of corridors with frequent bus routes.

Cities with trains would have to zone for an average housing density of 40 units per acre in 50% of the housing-eligible land within a halfmile of stations.

Another amendment signi cantly changes the zoning shifts that would have been required of so-called rural resort job centers, including the Eagle River Valley near Vail and Roaring Fork Valley near Aspen.

Rural resort job centers are dened as municipalities that have a population of at least 1,000 and at least 1,200 jobs and are outside of a metropolitan planning organization, like the Denver Regional Council of Governments or the North Front Range Metropolitan Planning Organization. ey also have regional transit service with at least 20 trips per day. e legislation’s rural resort centers include: Avon, Breckenridge, Crested Butte, Dillon, Durango, Frisco, Glenwood Springs, Mountain Village, Silverthorne, Snowmass Village, Steamboat Springs, Telluride and Winter Park.

As originally written, the measure would have required adjacent towns in rural resort communities to work together to determine where to increase housing density and to identify bus corridors and work to increase residential and commercial development surrounding those

The Gallingers built their 550-squarefoot garage ADU to host friends and family during visits. Through an error in construction, the garage ended up being too tall, leading the couple to seek an individual zoning variance for the unit.

Under the amendments, rural resort communities would be required to choose at least ve options from a menu of 10 to 15 a ordability strategies included in the bill. Most of the resort communities already employ many of the listed strategies.

One of those options is letting property owners build accessorydwelling units, also known as ADUs or “granny ats.” Other strategies on the menu include restrictions on short-term rentals, like those listed on Airbnb or Vrbo, deed restrictions, expediting building permit review, and establishing a local revenue source to develop a ordable housing. One strategy would be for municipalities to waive permitting, infrastructure and utility fees for building a ordable housing developments.

“I think they sort of missed the boat in this rst draft and what should apply to us and what would work best for us,” said Eric Mamula, the mayor of Breckenridge and owner of Downstairs at Eric’s restaurant.

Mamula said his community’s top concerns with the introduced version of the legislation involved a lack of a ordability restrictions on new construction and no requirements that buyers and residents of new housing be part of the local workforce. ey also worried about the absence of permanence for a ordability and other regulations involving the newly mandated housing.

Last month Mamula said resort communities would be working with lawmakers and the governor to “make sure we are getting the point across that we need some protections for our smaller ski town communities.”

“I feel like we are being heard,” he said.

e original version of the bill would have required rural resort centers to allow ADUs. Under the amended version, only municipalities in the rest of the state would be prevented from restricting them. Right now, ADUs may be built in many towns and cities only in certain zoning areas and the size of the units is governed by lot size. e bill would prohibit cities from requiring that new parking accompany any ADUs that are built.

One amendment adopted at the behest of Sen. Sonya Jaquez Lewis, a Boulder County Democrat, adds unincorporated parts of counties to the list of places where ADUs can’t be prohibited.

Another change to the bill would allow municipalities to notify the state of their need for an extension or exemption from the requirements based on shortfalls in their water supply or infrastructure.

have enough money to close the gap at 10.1%.

“My biggest regret (about the budget) is that we just were not able to close that gap fully,” she said.

Zenzinger said the JBC was trying to meet schools’ nancial needs without pricing students out of higher education. If the legislature were to allocate enough money to colleges and universities to cap tuition at 4% it wouldn’t have had any money left for new legislation and ongoing programs.

Total state funding for higher education in the budget was increased by $147 million to $1.4 billion.

e scal year 2023-24 budget includes $485 million more in K-12 education funding than in the current year, which represents a $900 per-pupil increase.

e budget calls for a 5.7% increase in base education spending to $8.9 billion and an 8.4% increase in average per-pupil spending to $10,404, Chalkbeat Colorado reports.

ere’s no money in the budget, however, for buying down the budget stabilization factor — sometimes referred to as the negative factor

( e State Education Fund, which is expected to be a rainy day pool of money to help the legislature fund K-12 education, is lled with income tax revenue. e fund gets 0.33% of taxable income, meaning that it rises and falls with the economy and as Coloradans’ pay increases or decreases. ere’s expected to be more than $1 billion in the fund next scal year.)

“For the rst time in a very long time we don’t need to use general fund money to e ectuate that buy down in the budget stabilization factor,” Zenzinger said. “ at will come from the State Education Fund this year. at fund has grown and grown and grown and we’ve tried not to tap it. But now we’re in a situation where we need to spend it down.”

e budget stabilization factor is roughly $321 million. Zenzinger says the plan is for the JBC to buy it down by either half or fully in the school nance act.

based on whether people living in a home are family members, as well as e orts to streamline manufactured housing.

Still pending in the legislature is a measure that would ban municipalities from imposing growth caps

Zenzinger said there are also two things happening that are reducing how much it costs for the state to run K-12 schools: an increase in property values driving up local property tax revenue and a decrease in student enrollment.

“ e circumstances are di erent (this year), the context is di erent,” she said.

Next year’s budget also contains money to start up several new departments and initiatives launched by lawmakers in recent years, including universal preschool and the Behavioral Health Administration.

Starting next school year, 4- and 5-year-olds will be eligible for a minimum of 15 hours per week of preschool with no out-of-pocket costs for their parents. e budget has $322 million to get that up and running, half of which is a reallocation of existing funds while the rest is coming from tax revenue generated by Proposition EE, the 2020 ballot measure raising nicotine and tobacco taxes.

e budget also has $2.5 million to incentivize preschool providers to be a part of the program.

When it comes to the Behavioral Health Administration, which was created by the legislature in 2021, there is $1.9 million in the budget for sta ng, $5 million for community providers and $2 million for chil-

e budget provides a 5% raise to state employees, with an additional 3.5% pay boost for state employees who work at 24/7 facilities, like the Mental Health Institute at Pueblo. It’s tough to quantify how much money that will cost because it affects various agencies and departments di erently.

Additionally, any state worker who makes minimum wage will have their hourly pay bumped up to $15 an hour.

ere is also $7.3 million set aside in the budget to increase pay for Colorado State Patrol troopers.  Finally, the budget includes $9 million for the Department of Corrections to be spent on $1,000 per month housing stipends for 1,133 staffers through February 2024. The money will be targeted at DOC staff serving in the Buena Vista, Sterling and Limon correctional facilities.

America’s judicial system needs serious ethics attention

CROSS CURRENTS

The recent shocking news revealed by an article in ProPublica involving Supreme Court Justice Clarence omas’ failure to report luxury trips paid by Texan billionaire and conservative donor Harlan Crow has raised legitimate concerns.

omas and his wife Ginni have been the beneciary of numerous private vacations over the past two decades. Has he reported the value of these vacations, which have an equivalent value of up to $500,000 per trip? e answer is “no.”

e nancial disclosure law that covers justices and other federal ocials states that “knowingly and willfully” failing to make required disclo-

sures can result in nes. omas has responded indicating that he and his wife have taken the “family trips” but was not aware of any reporting requirement. However, prior to 2004, he did le non-cash bene ts.

Enforcement

of regulations has been slack

As seen in the omas vacation exposure as well as situations with our own Colorado Supreme Court, a lack of disciplinary action with judges, including Colorado Supreme Court judges, have been revealed in the recent past. A tightening up of enforcing rules and regulations pertaining to judges is obvious and action is needed.

Also, additional standards of behavior are warranted with appropriate nes and punishment spelled out.

e trouble seems to be in knowing who oversees such discipline and is compelled to take action. An

earlier situation with omas’ wife Ginni is worthy of noting as well. She is known for her political activism and made calls directly to high-ranking members of Trump’s administration regarding the “stolen election” in 2020. is incident at least would have justi ed an investigation to determine any wrongdoing.

e punchline here is the clique’ that states “no one should be above the law” including judges and their spouses. At one time, the U.S. Supreme Court was held in considerable esteem by the American public. Its “trust rating” was as high as 50%. Today, it sits at 25% which is a major concern. When trust is eroded, it can lead to actions like the January 6th insurrection at the U.S. Capitol (which I do not favor).

How failed banks impact investors

FINANCIAL STRATEGIES

It can be very unsettling to hear of a bank failure such as Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) last month. Investors may wonder how they should react or if they should adjust their portfolios.

First, a little history lesson to put this into perspective. When depositors rush to get their money out of a bank that is nancially in trouble, it is called a “run” on the bank. ese are not new and have occurred at di erent levels of severity in the past, the worst in the 1930s during the Great Depression. At that time, there was contagion across many banks, not our current situation. While bank insolvency can often come on the heels of the Federal Reserve Board raising interest rates, that is not solely the cause, according to Mariner Wealth Advisors Chief Economist William Greiner.

Each bank must manage the risk of lending, investing, cash deposits and withdrawals. If any or all of those are out of balance, problems start to percolate. When you have high-risk loans, such as technol-

ogy start-ups, and you are short on liquidity (more withdrawals than deposits), and the investments backing the deposits decline in value, you have a recipe for failure.

Many banks issue loans on real estate or other business collateral.

ey may also use Treasuries to back up deposits. When the Fed raises interest rates, and the value of those Treasury bonds declines, bankers may need to sell at a loss to cover withdrawals. Once this spiral starts, or collateral is devalued due to bad loans, depositors may demand their money causing a run on the bank.

Fed Chairman Jerome Powell remained concerned about in ation when he testi ed before Congress in March. is drove interest rate expectations higher after several interest rate hikes over the last three quarters. is downward pressure on bond values and concerns the bank would need to raise capital, caused some technologyfocused venture capital companies to remove funds from SVB.

It was very fortunate that a contagion was avoided, as the U.S. government response was swift and e ective. Once the facts were released and average depositors realized they were not involved in a bank that does high-risk lending, some of the pressures eased.

Investors will likely review their

portfolio to make sure they are not invested in small banks in the venture capital space or have heavy exposure to commercial real estate. ey may also avoid banks that have not had proper risk management or oversight. ese things created a perfect storm scenario for SVB. It may be wise to stay with large institutions commonly known as “too big to fail” due to their backing by the Fed. Large banks may actually bene t from depositors moving money to them from small banks in amounts not covered by the $250,000 limit for FDIC insurance.

Jimmy Stewart as George Bailey in “It’s a Wonderful Life” was able to instill trust in his customers to survive a run on his bank during the Great Depression. In real life during that time, the Emergency Banking Act of 1933 formed the Federal Deposit Insurance known as FDIC.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Sprawl is the problem

I grew up in this great city of ornton and have seen it change and grow over the years. is growth can be exciting but it’s also worrisome. When I was a teenager growing up in ornton we had more small businesses such as the record store Don’s Discs & Mile High Comics that drew people from Denver to ornton looking for unusual items to buy. Now it seems we only have strip malls and suburbs. Over the years my family and I have seen large housing developments be built without a balance of a ordability or access to basic needs in our south end of town.

To the north, the development and urban sprawl seems problematic as many of the homes are out of price range for most working families. e sprawl in our open space also left many ornton residents concerned for recreation and wildlife. To add to this troubling situation, our ability to access public transportation has gotten worse as ornton grows to the north.

When my son was younger he was on the ornton Dance team and took the bus from our house to dance class at the community center. He loved the independence that RTD provided until routes started to get cut and the classic ornton 92 bus route was eventually changed and would no longer get him to his class. is required me getting o of work early and driving home in tra c to get him to dance on time. We need more housing that working class families can a ord near transportation lines.

Deadline Wed. for the following week’s paper.

emails and conversations that Fox stars were acknowledging Trump’s “stolen election” was a lie, but told a totally di erent story on-air. Although Fox News will never admit their wrongdoing, the $787.5 million “hush money” speaks volumes.

What is the fallout of the settlement?

First, truth was the winner in this litigation and accountability prevailed. Hopefully, people like Sean Hannity and Tucker Carlson will have learned a lesson and speak the truth in their future reporting.

Secondly, hopefully followers of Fox News reporting and commentary will blatantly see that lying has a big price tag. e American public deserves the truth. I would think Fox News will have to earn back the trust of at least a portion of their following. is will be a slow go. Plus, the other networks best perk up and understand the price for lying to the American public. If we lose truth in reporting to the public, we are dangerously close to seeing our democracy crumble.

Oh, by the way, what does Mr. Trump have to say about the settlement?

It’s been somewhat disappointing about the small amount of information available about the three candidates for the two board of directors seats on the Hyland Hills Park and Recreation District. However, thanks to the Hyland Hills District and the Westminster Chamber of Commerce, you can still learn about candidates.

As a leader in our community I support the Land Use Bill HB23213 because I want to be sure our kids have the possibility to live in the town where they grew up. I also support this bill because we have to support smarter, more a ordable development.

Roberta Ayala, ornton

While they are currently allowed to some degree in the city, there have been limitations. A limited survey of citizens favored allowing children under 18 to be permitted to ride electric scooters in the city. Also, survey results showed clear support for allowing e-scooter and e-bikes on roadway/bike lanes, trails and parks. Riding them on sidewalks was not favored. By the way, we are not talking about rental OPOMD’s like in Denver. So, the city council will decide if these are safe changes to make with the increasing popularity of e-scooters and e-bikes.

e citizen’s feedback makes good sense to me especially not allowing either OPOMD on sidewalks. Us older folks aren’t able to dodge and weave as quickly as we use to do!

Adams County Regional Homeless Cooperative

Homelessness is not an isolated problem and it is not caused exclusively by a single factor.

Some current factors such as in ation and the high cost of housing in the Denver metro area are exacerbating the problem. Homelessness is a national problem best addressed on a regional scale.

Adams County, its municipalities and the City and County of Broomeld saw the need and the bene t to come together in a regional ap-

proach to help mitigate this problem. A memorandum of understanding was approved in April, 2022. Since then, each of the governmental entities has been working on their assignments. Recently, a brie ng was held for o cials to learn of 2021-2022 accomplishments. I thought sharing a few of these results would be helpful for the public to be made aware. I think too often government fails to widen their reach in sharing facts and gures especially on issues which have a negative connotation.

So, here we go--collectively there were 4,537 unique and active clients identi ed. A total of 725 unique clients took advantage of the Lyft ride program using 1,406 rides.

Here is a positive statistic- 1,380 exits from homelessness to housing. In 2022, there was a 72% reduction in veterans being homeless. A total of 73 people were sheltered via the Winter Housing Program. Using tenant-landlord mediation in partnership with Brother Redevelopment, 20% of landlords agreed to forego eviction.

Local foragers teach students to cook with wild foods

ere some see weeds, Erica Davis sees ingredients for delicious soups and salads.

“In urban areas, there are a lot of plants that we call weeds that spring up everywhere, that are widely available to people, that are edible and good,” she said.

Foraging is the act of gathering wild plants from nature, generally to be used for food, and sometimes to make other products. For Davis and other foragers, spring means plants are starting to grow –which means kitchens will soon be full of wild foods ready to be prepared in creative

Across the Front Range and in the mountains, several foragers share their knowledge through cooking classes based on

Why cook with wild food?

Davis, who runs a blog called Wild Food Girl, has upcoming classes in Ramah and Fairplay. Her Arvada class this spring has

“I think one of the biggest challenges with edible wild plants is that people don’t always know how to prepare them,” she said. “We all know how to cook spinach, we all know how to make broccoli — but we don’t all know how to cook tumble mustard so that it tastes good. So in my classes, I like to give students that experience of preparing an edible wild plant — or three — in a way that I think they are going to Davis’ classes begin with an hourlong plant walk where students learn the names of plants and safety and sustainability guidelines for foraging. Afterward, she teaches them how to prepare several of the plants they have for-

In the spring, dandelions and wild mustard greens are common staples in her

“People sometimes picture foraging as going out into the forest and picking plants

— and that’s part of it — but I would really encourage people to learn the weeds and make use of them,” she said. “A lot of them are non-native species, so there really aren’t as many ecological considerations with picking them.”

Davis teaches her students to make dandelion green soup from a recipe passed down by an Italian relative. Musk mustard is great in salads, and tumble mustard and field pennycress are fun to ferment, she said.

Beyond the creative and flavorful uses of foraged foods, research from 2019 suggests that wild edible greens harvested in urban areas can be abundant and highly nutritious. The study dubbed wild edible plants “open-source food.”

“This idea that open-source food is out there for anybody to eat and make use of — and then furthermore, it’s organic, it’s free, it’s fresh — I just think that’s a great concept,” Davis said.

Safety precautions

Despite their affordability and freshness, wild plants are not all safe to eat. Crystal Baldwin, who teaches wild plant-based classes at her Golden business, Earth Sweet Boutique, said it’s always important to triple-check plants before you eat them.

“I don’t like to frighten people away from… foraged foods because there’s a lot of very safe ones,” Baldwin said. “But I like them to be aware that there are dangerous, poisonous ones that will kill you, and so it’s important to kind of have an idea of what those might be and what to look out for.”

Baldwin encourages those interested in foraging to start by taking classes, working with local experts and reading about which plants are safe to eat.

She also said it’s important to check if plants are near old buildings that could be contributing lead to soil or if plants have been sprayed with pesticides.

WEEDS

‘Part of human history’

In addition to cooking, Baldwin said wild foods can be used to make skincare products, tinctures, infused honey, medicines and more.

“There’s many different things you can do with foraged foods, and the great thing about it is that we have tons of free, wonderful, wild foods here in Colorado,” she said.

Some of Baldwin’s favorite plants to forage are pine and conifer needles, which are high in vitamin C. She uses the needles to make a simple syrup that she drinks with seltzer water and fresh lemon.

“It’s extremely refreshing and has a lot of minerals, so it’s very hydrating in the summertime when it’s hot,” she said. When foraging, it’s important to do so in a way that does not damage plants or plant populations, Baldwin said. When gathering pine needles, for example, she takes about an inch or two from each branch and moves around to different branches so as to not damage the plant.

Davis agreed that sustainability is an important part of foraging process, and it’s something foragers need to be mindful of in order to do correctly.

“Sometimes people think ‘Foraging must be bad for the environment because you’re picking the plants!’ But I think the actual truth is much more nuanced than that,” she said. “Foraging is part of human history, I mean, we have been foraging since time immemorial, and we can do it in ways that don’t harm the plant populations if we’re mindful.”

Beyond freshness and accessibility, Davis said foraging offers health benefits and a range of flavors that are not available in grocery stores.

And perhaps best of all, wild food offers a way to get close to nature.

“For me, also, they offer a connection to nature,” Davis said. “They invite time spent outdoors, getting to know plants, working with my hands.”

Davis has available spots in her classes in Ramah and Fairplay this spring and summer. Her classes can be found at https://wildfoodgirl.com/ wfg-events/.

On her webpage, people who want to learn more about foraging can also sign up for the Colorado foragers email list.

In May, Baldwin is hosting a wild food cooking class at her shop, taught by veteran forager Wendy Petty. Interested students can sign up at https:// earthsweetboutique.com/products/wild-foraged-food-cooking-class and see future classes at https://earthsweetboutique. com/pages/classes-events.

SeriesFest returns for a blockbuster Season 9

COMING ATTRACTIONS

After a bit of a pandemic slowdown, SeriesFest, which celebrates emerging and underserved voices in episodic storytelling, is back bigger and better than ever, over owing with top-notch television viewing for all audiences.

“We’re excited to engage with everybody in the community about all the great stories being told,” said Randi Kleiner, co-founder and CEO of the Denverbased non-pro t. “We’re looking forward to people getting together to be part of great conversations about all the exciting things happening in the industry.”

Running from May 5 through May 10, SeriesFest Season 9 features a wide range of in-competition pilot screenings, panels, workshops and premieres from big studios, including Net ix, Amazon Freevee and Universal Television.

In addition to an array of episode showings, the lineup includes fascinating panels like, “Actors with Disabilities Making eir Mark in Hollywood: What More Needs to be Done,” “ e Art of Adaptation: Beyond the Book” and “Turning Podcasts into Television’s Next Big Hit with Orbit Media.”

As usual, the event wraps up at Red Rocks with a night of special performances — this year the evening features headliner Chelsea

Handler and guests Jay Pharoah and Adam Ray. ere will also be a screening of Fox’s “Animal Control,” with star Joel McHale on hand to discuss the show and perform a stand-up set.

Whether audiences attend one of the special events or just catch a screening, they’re in for a television viewing experience that most don’t have — one that features the episodes shown on the big screen and the chance to connect with others.

“So much is happening in the industry right now and that’s what is so exciting,” Kleiner said. “You really have the opportunity to see the shows you love, meet the creators and learn something you didn’t know.”

With so many great options, here are two SeriesFest events audiences shouldn’t miss.

‘Grown’ screening — May 7

Many viewers know Jocko Sims from his roles on shows like “ e Last Ship” and “New Amsterdam.” But for “Grown,” Sims explored the power of storytelling in a di erent way — as executive producer, writer and director.

“I’ve been a creator for pretty much all of my life… and this was something I’ve always wanted to do but didn’t have the time,” he said. “But I took the time and made it a priority and it has been such a ride ever since.”

“Grown” will be screened as part of the Independent Pilot Competition: Comedy Block 1 at the Sie FilmCenter, 2510 E. Colfax Ave. in Denver, at 6:15 p.m. May 17, and will also be shown to local high school

students as part of High School Day. e pilot, which won SXSW’s TV pilot competition, is about 14-yearold Rogelio (Josiah Gabriel), who recently lost his father and is struggling with what it means to be an adult. He and his friends Larry (Tristan-Lee Edwards) and Chaz (Giovanni Cristo ) decide to sneak into a strip club, leading to a reckoning about who Rogelio thinks he is and who he wants to be.

“Grown’s” participation in the festival is a sort of homecoming for Sims — “New Amsterdam” made its premiere at SeriesFest back in 2018. He’s eager to be back to share a story that means a great deal to him and hopes it connects with viewers, particularly students.

“I’d love for the youth to be inspired in whatever way they can,” Sims said. “When they see these kids making decisions, both good and bad, perhaps they can learn from that and apply it to their lives.”

‘Primo’ world premiere screening — May 8

For Shea Serrano, a New York Times best-selling author and culture critic, working as creator, executive producer and a writer on “Primo” was a daily reminder of how much creative potential is unlocked when people work together.

“All of these incredibly talented people spent a lot of time working on it and I’m thankful and proud every time I sit down to watch it,” he said. “I watch the show and I see everybody’s ngerprints all over it.”

Amazon will unveil the rst season of “Primo” on May 19, but its world-

premiere screening will be at 8:15 p.m. on Monday, May 8, at the Sie FilmCenter. Serrano and actors Ignacio Diaz-Silverio and Christina Vidal will all be on hand for a discussion afterwards hosted by Diaspora’s Dino Ray-Ramos.

e show, which is executive produced by Michael Schur (“Parks and Recreation”and “ e Good Place”), is based on some of Serrano’s own experiences growing up in San Antonio. It follows 16-year-old Rafa Gonzales (Diaz-Silverio) as he comes of age with the help of his mother, Drea (Vidal), and ve uncles.

Since “Primo” has its roots in such personal experiences, Serrano was able to ll the show with speci c references and jokes his family and friends will recognize — everything from costume choices to a shout out to a favorite A Tribe Called Quest song.

Some shows become like a warm blanket — something viewers can turn on when they need to feel better about being alive, and that was the goal for “Primo.”

“ at’s my ultimate dream for the show — that ‘Primo’ becomes a part of somebody’s lineup in that situation,” Serrano said. “You are unwinding at the end of the day and you watch an episode or two and see what the Gonzales family is getting up to in San Antonio.”

Sitting Bull portrait sells at auction to private bidder

BY SANDRA HALE SCHULMAN ICT

e rare portrait of Lakota leader Sitting Bull that was up for sale at Blackwell Auctions sold for $67,100 in mid-March to a private purchaser from the northeastern United States. e portrait was one of four paintings of Sitting Bull created by New York artist and activist Caroline Weldon, and is thought to be the only one still in private hands.

Stored for decades and needing repair, the solemn portrait of the charismatic Lakota leader was consigned to auction by heirs of the original owner from 1890. e artist’s friendship with Sitting Bull was made into a 2017 lm, “Woman Walks Ahead.”

“I just tried to promote it as best I could,” Blackwell auctioneer Edwin Bailey told ICT. “I knew that it was a very special piece, and the story was abso-

FREEDOM. TO BE YOU.

lutely fascinating. e deeper I got into it, I watched the movie and contacted the historical researchers.”

Bailey says the painting was special because it is “vastly superior to the other two Weldon painted. e value of the painting was based on its subject matter and its dramatic history, not the popularity of the artist or broad demand for the artist’s work, which is usually what drives the value of a piece of art.”

Daniel Guggisberg, historian and researcher, told ICT that the portrait was not done from a sitting, one of several revisions to the story that was portrayed in the 2017 lm featuring Jessica Chastain as Weldon and Michael Greyeyes as Sitting Bull.

“It is based on a portrait made by photographers Palmquist & Jurgens of Minneapolis in March 1884,” Guggisberg said.. “ e other two known paintings of Sitting Bull she made are

based on photographs, notably by William Notman & Son of Montreal, taken in August 1885 while Sitting Bull toured with Bu alo Bill’s Wild West. She did not paint from life - would not have the means to do so and Sitting Bull certainly would not have agreed to sit for a painted portrait for hours or days on end. Caroline Weldon certainly had artistic talent, but not beyond an amateur’s level.”

Weldon went to see Sitting Bull (18311890) in the late 1880s to help him politically, not to paint him. She ended up staying and moving into his camp at the Standing Rock Reservation with his family.

Guggisberg said that “the painting presumably was made while Caroline Weldon had brie y returned to Brooklyn in the latter part of 1889 and early 1890. e date on the painting is 1890.”

Weldon is believed to have sold the painting to the man whose heirs recently put it up for auction.

“As far as I know, no painting by Carolyn Weldon has ever sold at auction,” Guggisberg said. “While the story in the lm was greatly changed, even without the motion picture, I still think this would’ve been an amazing piece because of the story.”

Bailey said Weldon endured a lot of heat — even physical violence — for promoting Native rights in the late 1800s.

Bailey said he started the bids on March 18 at $20,000 and said the nal sales gure was reached in about two

minutes.

“It didn’t have any bids on it to start with, advanced bids, pre-op option bids,” he said. “ ere were several people that just got on when the option started and it ran to where it ran. at’s one of those pieces that could have gone anywhere. “

Bailey said the seller is granddaughter of William Lafayette Darling, a railroad engineer from St. Paul that was involved in the construction of the Northern Paci c Line at the time that went through the Dakotas on to Montana and Idaho. He is believed to have purchased the painting from Weldon. When he died in 1938, the painting went to his daughter and then to her daughter in 1990. e painting will soon be shipped to the new owner.

“We’ve been in touch with the buyer and it’s been hanging up here on the wall for several weeks now,” he said.

“I’m looking at it right now.”

Bailey said the auction house does not release details about the buyer.

“I can say that they’re in the Northeast and I hope they loan or exhibit it,” he said. “It’s not something I can even fathom somebody just poking down a hallway and looking at once in a while. I just don’t see that happening. I think it’s going to show up again and I think it’s going to show up at a museum, perhaps by a private collector. e best I’ll say is, that is what I hope is the outcome.”

Sandra Hale Schulman, of Cherokee Nation descent, has been writing about Native issues since 1994.

Horizon can’t stop Thunderhawks

Praire View continues to dominate Front Range League

BY JONATHAN MANESS SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA

THORNTON - e Horizon and Prairie View high school baseball teams are o to a strong start to the 2023 baseball season.

e two squads faced o on the diamond ursday with the underhawks coming out on top 12-6 to pick up their third consecutive win and fourth victory in the Front Range League.

It’s a challenging road ahead for both the teams playing in the revamped Front Range League. It will be Prairie View’s rst year in the league after playing in the East Metro Conference. Horizon was fth in the FRL last season.

e Front Range League features some of the top teams in Class 5A, including the defending Class 5A state champion Broom eld and also Legacy - the runner up last year. e top-ranked Rocky Mountain Lobos are also another headliner from the league.

“It’s a tough league, we have our work cut out for us,” said Prairie View coach Mark Gonzalez. “ ere are a lot of good teams and quality programs.”

e underhawks rolled through their non-league schedule, winning ve of six

games and their lone loss coming in a tight 4-3 defeat against North Penn (Pa.).

e two losses in conference for the Prairie View were to Loveland (6-4 loss) and Rocky Mountain (9-7). Against Rocky, the Lobos scored three runs in the sixth to steal the victory.

e strong showing has Prairie View right on the verge of being ranked in Class 5A.

“We are right there; have a really good group that really like to compete,” Gonzalez said. “We play our game we have a chance down the stretch.”

Junior Wyatt Waterhouse is leading the way with 15 hits, 18 runs and is batting .417 at the plate.

Senior Trevor Devincenzi and sophomore Jerry Stone have also done well at the plate, each connecting on 12 hits.

Against Horizon, Prairie View took advantage of the Hawks mistakes down the stretch to get the wins Getting four runs across in the both the sixth and seventh innings.

Six di erent players had hits for Prairie View and Favi Gaeta and Travis Teague led the way with two RBIs each and Anthony Rivera scored three runs.

Senior Hunter Blea earned the win on the mound after pitching seven innings and allowing one run and striking out ve batters.

“I’m proud of the guys. ey really have played well, and we just have to keep

competing,” the coach said.

e Hawks, like Prairie View, are on brink of being ranked. Horizon (7-6 overall, 3-3 FRL) are led by a strong senior class.

Nick Lay has been one of the top hitters in the state, he is tied for third in Class 5A with ve home runs and leads the Hawks with 22

RBIs, 18 hits and 20 runs.

Jeremaya Martinez chipped in 14 hits and 15 runs, while senior Davis Wilkins chipped in 15 hits and 14 RBIs for the Hawks, he also picked up the win Friday against Arvada West after striking out seven batters.

Both teams are in for a full

docket of games this week. Prairie View hosts Broomeld Monday, travels to Brighton Tuesday, Erie ursday and then hosts Fort Collins. While Horizon is at Loveland Monday, host Poudre Tuesday, at Rocky Mountain ursday and then host Mountain Range on Saturday.

Class 6A basketball playo s to remain at Denver Coliseum

BY STEVE SMITH SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA

e Denver Coliseum will continue to host the Great 8 round of the state boys and girls basketball playo s in Class 6A.

e Colorado High School Activities Association’s legislative council overwhelmingly voted down an attempt to move those games to school sites or, in some cases, neutral locations.“I think it’s great that the Great 8 will still be at the Coliseum,” said Prairie View coach Damien Romero, whose team moved up to Class 6A.  e addition of a sixth classi cation of basketball prompted CHSAA to begin play as early as 8:45 a.m. for quarter nal rounds for the top three classi cations of basketball. Given the early start, the Continental

League proposed to shift Class 6A games to school sites. It said such a move would allow games to be played on Friday nights and/ or Saturdays. Plus, proponents said, it would have meant less outlay for CHSAA to hire game workers and for rental fees for the Coliseum.

“With more teams and players in one location, the opportunity for more exposure and coverage is a great opportunity for those that are blessed to reach the Great 8,” Romero said.

e 64-4 CHSAA council vote came on April 18.

Brighton High School’s girls basketball program also moved up to Class 6A this season. Coach Jim French like the idea of keeping games at the Coliseum.

“Some coaches expressed the challenges from starting games early in the morning

in order to get the full day in and the disadvantages to those teams in doing so,” French said. “Between the available game sites in the metro and surrounding area, each classi cation could host or combine two but not three (4A - 6A) classi cations.”

He used the state football championship model as an example (those contests are moving to Fort Collins this fall.

French noted other states consider historic performance among factors when the time comes to place schools in classi cations.

“Our goal is to provide the most enjoyable high school experience we can,” French said. “But when none of the sports is competitive, it discourages those athletes

Mountain Vista’s boys basketball team gathers around the Final Four plaque after beating Valor Christian March 4 at the Denver Coliseum.

“I wanted to wrestle in it, but when we looked, I didn’t meet the criteria,” she said. “A few days later, my coaches rechecked the quali cations, and USA Wrestling had added state placers, which meant I could wrestle because I placed second at state.”

e Gutierrez family has a long history in wrestling. Her father, David, competed for Adams City. So did her two brothers, the aforementioned Fabian, and Maximus.

“I have been around it all my life,” Gutierrez said. “I tried wrestling a few times when I was younger, but I always quit. I did gymnastics and volleyball instead while my brothers wrestled. When I was in fourth grade, I decided to try it again. at must have been the right time be-

in the process. e same top tier schools comprised the playo s, and reducing the eld from 48 to 32 left a lot of deserving teams to compete in the rst round – especially when the entire playo time block is three weeks.”

As for the future of Class 6A basketball, Romero was indi erent.

“With our enrollment numbers, we’d always be in the highest classi cation,” he said.

French said CHSAA could continue with a sixth classi cation “if they made it for schools with the higher enrollment numbers.”

“Automatically moving schools up from 5A in 2022 did not allow those with the lowest enrollment an opportunity to compete,” he said. “I do

“If not, I am thinking about going to King University or maybe Iowa,” she said. “I know wrestling is gonna be my main focus in college. But I’m a student-athlete, so I’d like to major in physics and get a doctorate.”

believe if those schools were left in 5A, they could compete.”

Other business out of CHSAA: Basketball players can play up to five quarters (115 quarters total in a season) per day of competition. The size of some teams forces coaches to bring up players from the junior-varsity squads to fill out rosters. The move brings all of the state’s basketball players into the same umbrella when it comes to playing time, even those schools that play 19 games before their district tournaments.

Tournament o cials for the Class 3A district playo s will not reseed the bracket when the quarter nal round begins.

e council voted 69-2 to allow softball teams to take up to 23 players to regional tournaments.

Regis program o ers students with intellectual disabilities college support

BY JASON GONZALES CHALKBEAT

Jen Anderman loves college.

She lives on campus at Regis University, is learning about world religions like Buddhism, and took on the persona of Benjamin Franklin once to present in a class.

Anderman, 25, always wanted to follow in her sister’s footsteps, but most colleges don’t o er programs geared toward students with intellectual disabilities who might need more support. Anderman also wanted a program that pushed her academically and allowed her to get the college experience she desired.

In Colorado and nationwide, most colleges don’t o er programs for students with intellectual disabilities, which includes limitations in reasoning, learning, problem solving, or social or practical skills. ose colleges that do have limited spots.

Anderman, who is a person with autism, now is living her dream. Regis University’s Global Inclusive College Certi cate program has o ered Anderman and four other students at the Denver Jesuit school a full college experience for about two years, plus extra support to earn their certi cate. Regis’ program launched in the fall and joined several others across the state that o er support for students with intellectual disabilities.

Anderman’s mom says Jen thrives when she gets to learn with students who learn in a variety of ways. Living on campus, she’s made plenty of friends. Home is just 20 minutes away, which means she didn’t have to go far to continue her education. e program allows Anderman to take any Regis class, which she likes. She said that so far, she has enjoyed them all.

Regis o ers a certi cate requiring students to complete from 12 to 30 hours of school work over the course of one or two years. e program focuses on academics, but also teaches social skills, emotional regulation, career development, and independence, according to Jeanine

Coleman, the certi cate programs director. e program also o ers tutoring, class preparation and other help.

Coleman hopes to add several more students to the program next year, and the school has received support from the GLOBAL Down Syndrome Foundation and the Anna and John J. Sie Foundation.

Recently the school announced it received $365,000 to help provide scholarships. e scholarships are crucial for many families who never thought that their children would nd a college that works for their learning style.

“ ey just didn’t plan for that because they didn’t really think it was an option,” Coleman said. “ ere are just not very many opportunities for individuals with intellectual disabilities beyond high school.”

Statewide, the University of Northern Colorado, University of Colorado Colorado Springs, and Arapahoe Community College o er programs tailored toward students with intellectual disabilities, said Tracy Murphy, Colorado Initiative for Inclusive Higher Education executive director.

Until 2016, Colorado was one of four states nationwide that didn’t o er speci c programs for students with intellectual disabilities, Murphy said. Lawmakers that year passed a law establishing speci c programs for students at colleges, and last year approved grants to support new or existing programs at higher education institutions.

Creating a more inclusive environment is good for students with and without intellectual disabilities, Murphy said.

Students at established programs have rushed fraternities and participated in student government, she said. ey’re helping create acceptance and enabled others to see the value students with disabilities can bring to a school campus and jobs, she said.

“College students bene t from seeing that capability,” she said.

Bill addresses water quality at mobile home parks

BY HEATHER SACKETT ASPEN JOURNALISM

State legislators have introduced a bill that would create a water-testing program at mobile home parks, addressing residents’ long-standing concerns about water quality.

House Bill 1257, which is sponsored by District 57 Rep. Elizabeth Velasco, D-Gar eld County, would require the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment to create a watertesting program that covers all mobile home parks in the state by 2028. If the testing nds a water-quality issue, the park owner must come up with a remediation plan and not pass the cost of xing the problem on to the residents. e testing results would be made available to park residents and the public in English, Spanish and other languages. e bill would also require park owners to identify the water source and establish a grant program to help park owners pay for remediation options such as infrastructure upgrades.

e bill was introduced March 26, and its other sponsors are Rep. Andrew Boesenecker, D- Larimer County, and Sen. Lisa Cutter, D-Je erson County. Velasco, who said she lived in mobile home parks growing up, said she has heard complaints from residents about discolored water that stains clothes, smells and tastes bad, causes skin rashes, and breaks appliances. But often, those complaints go unaddressed because the water may still meet the standards of the Environmental Protection Agency’s Safe Drinking Water

CLASSIFIEDS

Act.

“ e odor, the taste, the color, those are secondary traits of the water, according to these regulations,” Velasco said. “ ese issues are in low-income communities, majority people of color. ese issues are not happening to wealthy families.”

Environmental justice issue

Water quality in mobile home parks is an environmental-justice issue for the Latino community. According to the Colorado Latino Climate Justice Policy Handbook, nearly 20% of Latino households live in mobile homes. And according to survey results in the 2022 Colorado Latino Policy Agenda, 41% of mobile home residents said they do not trust or drink the water in their homes. Eighty percent of survey respondents said they support new regulations requiring that mobile home parks provide their residents with clean drinking water.

Beatriz Soto is executive director of Protegete, a Latino-led environmental initiative of Conservation Colorado that developed the climate justice handbook. Conservation Colorado supports the bill. Soto, who also lived in mobile home parks in the Roaring Fork valley, said for years she has heard the same complaints Velasco did about water quality, so she knew it was a top priority for the Latino community. e survey results con rmed the anecdotes.

“ is is not just little things we are hearing here and there in the community; this is a bigger issue,” Soto said. “When you work two jobs and

you have to drive two hours to work and you come home and have to go to a laundromat because you can’t wash your clothes at your residence, there’s a real cumulative impact of living under those conditions.”

e Aspen-to-Parachute region has 55 parks, which combined have about 3,000 homes and 15,000 to 20,000 residents. Mobile home parks are some of the last neighborhoods of nonsubsidized a ordable housing left in the state and provide crucial worker housing, especially in rural and resort areas.

Residents have complained about the water quality in some parks for years, but agencies have lacked the regulatory authority to enforce improvements. Recently, residents in parks near Durango and in Summit County have lacked running water for weeks at a time.

Voces Unidas de las Montanas, a Latino-led advocacy nonpro t that is based in Colorado’s central mountains and works in the Roaring Fork Valley, is one of the organizations leading Clean Water for All Colorado, a committee that helped to craft the legislation.

“Many of us who grew up in mobile home parks, myself included, have always known and normalized buying bottled water from the store, and it’s because we don’t trust our water,” said Alex Sanchez, president and CEO of Voces Unidas. “Many residents have been complaining and calling for action for decades, and no one has answered their call.”

Sanchez said the bill is his organization’s No. 1 legislative priority this

session.

Rocky Mountain Home Association and Colorado Manufactured Housing Coalition oppose the bill. Tawny Peyton, executive director of the Rocky Mountain Home Association, said the mobile home park industry has been bombarded with sweeping law changes in recent years, causing confusion and additional operation and legal costs. Laws enacted in 2019, 2020 and 2022 granted extra protections to mobile home park residents.

“ e Rocky Mountain Home Association is concerned with the entire bill,” Peyton said in an email. “Why is the mobile home park industry being singly targeted with this legislation? Industry was not made aware that mobile home park water quality was such an issue that a 23-page bill was warranted.”

Bill proponents acknowledge that the issue may take years to get resolved and that new regulations would be just the rst step toward gathering data and assessing the problem.

“ is is just a rst stab at trying to resolve this issue,” Soto said. “ is is establishing a framework to start testing and get all the information and documenting all the water sources for mobile home parks to determine what is the problem.”

House Bill 1257 is scheduled for a hearing by the Transportation, Housing and Local Government Committee on Wednesday.

No objections have been received by or presented to the Court.

IT IS ORDERED:

Public Notice

NOTICE OF DEFAULT AND FORECLOSURE SALE

WHEREAS, on October 24, 2012, a certain Deed of Trust was executed by Lucille P. Ortega, as Grantor, in favor of New Day Financial, LLC, and the Public Trustee of Adams County, Colorado as Trustee, and was recorded on November 15, 2012, at Reception Number 2012000087024, in the office of the Clerk and Recorder of the County of Adams, Colorado; and

WHEREAS, the Deed of Trust was insured by the United States Secretary of Housing and Urban Development (the Secretary) pursuant to the National Housing Act for the purpose of providing single family housing; and

WHEREAS, the beneficial interest of the Deed of Trust is now owned by the Secretary, pursuant to an assignment recorded on October 15, 2019 at Reception Number 2019000088380 in the office of the Clerk and Recorder of the County of Adams Colorado.

WHEREAS, a default has been made in the covenants and conditions of the Deed of Trust in that Paragraph 9 (a) (i) has been violated; and

WHEREAS, the entire amount delinquent is $203,867.58 as of March 7, 2023; and

WHEREAS, by virtue of this default, the Secretary has declared the entire amount of the indebtedness secured by the Deed of Trust to be immediately due and payable;

NOW THEREFORE, pursuant to the powers vested in me by the Single Family Mortgage Foreclosure Act of 1994, 12 U.S.C. 3751 et seq., by 24 CFR part 27, subpart B, and by the Secretary’s designation of me as Foreclosure Commissioner, recorded on April 2, 2018 at Reception No. 2018000026482 in the records of the Adams County Clerk and Recorder, notice is hereby given that on May 25, 2023, at 11:30 a.m. local time, all real and personal property at or used in connection with the following described premises (“Property”) will be sold at public auction to the highest bidder: ALL THE FOLLOWING DESCRIBED LOT OR PARCEL OF LAND, SITUATE, LYING AND BEING IN THE SAID COUNTY OF ADAMS AND STATE OF COLORADO, TO WIT:

LOT 1, BLOCK 16, YORK HIGHLANDS FILING NUMBER TWO, COUNTY OF ADAMS, STATE OF COLORADO.

BEING THE SAME PREMISES THAT WAS CONVEYED UNTO LOUIE ORTEGA, JR. (NOW DECEASED, CERTIFICATE ID 004430724, DATED JANUARY 11TH, 2011 IN THE STATE OF COLORADO) AND LUCILLE P. ORTEGA BY QUITCLAIM DEED FROM JEFFERY B. GREGORY AND CAROL A. GREGORY, DATED AUGUST 22nd, 1983, AND RECORDED AUGUST 24TH, 1983 AT DEED BOOK 2782 AND DEED PAGE 569 IN THE RECORDS OF THE ADAMS COUNTY RECORDER’S OFFICE, STATE OF COLORADO.

Commonly known as:

2390 East 98th Avenue, Thornton, CO 80229. The sale will be held in front of the Adams County Combined Court located at 1100 Judicial Center Dr, Brighton, CO 80601.

The Secretary of Housing and Urban Development will bid the lesser amount of the loan balance, or the appraised value obtained by the Secretary prior to sale.

There will be no proration of taxes, rents or other income or liabilities, except that the purchaser will pay, at or before closing, his prorated share of any real estate taxes that have been paid by the Secretary to the date of the foreclosure sale.

When making their bids, all bidders except the Secretary must submit a deposit totaling 10% of the Secretary’s bid in the form of a certified check or cashier’s check made out to the Secretary of HUD. A deposit need not accompany each oral bid. If the successful bid is oral, a deposit of 10% of the Secretary’s bid must be presented before the bidding is closed. The deposit is nonrefundable. The remainder of the purchase price must be delivered within 30 days of the sale or at such other time as the Secretary may determine for good cause shown, time being of the essence. This amount, like the bid deposits, must be delivered in the form of a certified or cashier’s check. If the Secretary is the highest bidder, he need not pay the bid amount in cash. The successful bidder will pay all conveying fees, all real estate and other taxes that are due on or after the delivery date of the remainder of the payment and all other costs associated with the transfer of title. At the conclusion of the sale, the deposits of the unsuccessful bidders will be returned to them.

The Secretary may grant an extension of time within which to deliver the remainder of the payment. All extension will be for 15-day increments for a fee of $500.00, paid in advance. The extension fee shall be in the form of certified or cashier’s check made payable to the Secretary of HUD. If the high bidder closes the sale prior to the expiration of any extension period, the unused portion of the extension fee shall be applied toward the amount due.

If the high bidder is unable to close the sale within the required period, or within any extensions of time granted by the Secretary, the high bidder may be required to forfeit the cash deposit, or at the election of the foreclosure commissioner after consultation with the HUD representative, will be liable to HUD for any costs incurred as a result of such failure. The Commissioner may, at the direction of the HUD representative, offer the property to the second highest bidder for an amount equal to the highest price offered by that bidder.

There is no right of redemption, or right of possession based upon a right of redemption, in the mortgagor or others subsequent to a foreclosure completed pursuant to the Act. Therefore, the Foreclosure Commissioner will issue a Deed to the

purchaser(s) upon receipt of the entire purchase price in accordance with the terms of the sale as provided herein, HUD does not guarantee that the property will be vacant.

The scheduled foreclosure sale shall be cancelled or adjourned if it is established, by documented written application of the mortgagor to the Foreclosure Commissioner no less than three (3) days before the date of sale, or otherwise, that the default or defaults upon which the foreclosure is based did not exist at the time of service of this notice of default and foreclosure sale, or all amounts due under the mortgage agreement are tendered to the Foreclosure Commissioner, in the form of a certified cashier’s check payable to the Secretary of HUD, before the public auction of the property is completed.

The amount that must be paid if the mortgage is to be reinstated prior to the scheduled sale is $203,867.58 as of March 7, 2023, plus all other amounts that would be due under the mortgage agreement if payments under the deed of trust had not been accelerated, advertising costs and postage expenses incurred in giving notice, mileage by the most reasonable road distance for posting notices and for the Foreclosure Commissioner’s attendance at the sale, reasonable and customary costs incurred for title and lien record searches, the necessary out of pocket costs incurred by the Foreclosure Commissioner, and all other costs incurred in connection with the foreclosure prior to reinstatement.

Tender of payment by certified or cashier’s check or application for cancellation of the foreclosure sale shall be submitted to the address of the Foreclosure Commissioner provided below.

Amid risk of living on wildfire-prone grasslands, Boulder County’s search for solutions

BY TIM DRUGAN BOULDER REPORTING LAB

e Marshall Fire exposed the need to reduce wild re risk on the grasslands of Boulder County. But there’s a problem: Even the best re-prevention techniques on the plains don’t work as well as they do in the mountains.

“Grasslands are much di erent than forests,” said Katharine Suding, a professor of ecology and evolutionary biology at the University of Colorado Boulder, who is advising a Boulder County grasslands working group established to help prevent another Marshall Fire.

On the plains, Suding said, a re can burn all plants in its path only to have intact roots grow back stalks within months. Trees take longer to return. If a re thins a forest — through a wild re or a prescribed burn — that forest enjoys at least a few years of reduced risk. Grasslands don’t.

“We might get a year of protection after a prescribed re” on the plains, said Stefan Reinold, a resource manager for county Parks and Open Space. Reinold is also a member of the grasslands working group, along with scientists, land managers, ditch company mangers and re protection district members. e group is a subset of the Boulder County Fireshed that is made up of a similar cohort of local scientists and land managers working to reduce re risk.

A former forester for the county, Reinold said prescribed burns are di cult to implement in the mountains — and even harder on the plains. Much of the county’s open space on the plains is leased agricultural land. Farmers who might be open to their grasslands being scorched intermittently probably

don’t want them burned every year, which is what it would take to be e ective.

Still, the public, especially those recovering in the Marshall Fire burn scar of Superior and Louisville, want something done.

“ ere’s a lot of pressure, of course, to come up with solutions,” Reinold said, and he is sympathetic. “But one of our biggest concerns is there is no clear solution with grasslands. If there were, we would be all about it. We’d be out there trying to decrease re hazard in every aspect we could.”

Reinold said since the Marshall Fire, the county has been criticized by residents for mismanaging its grasslands. One of the suggestions residents often make is increased grazing. But much of the area burned by the Marshall Fire had been grazed — multiple times — in the year leading up to the re.

“We grazed three times,” Reinold said. “Which is getting to the level of overgrazing in some areas that abut Louisville.”

Mowing is another recommendation he often hears. ough it cuts some re fuel, mowing leaves vegetation on the ground where it can still carry re. And the amount of mowing required is untenable. Reinold said Boulder County has 343 miles of agricultural property lines. Should Parks and Open Space put a 100-foot bu er along property lines to protect vulnerable neighborhoods, it would equal almost 4,000 acres they’d have to mow — “and often” — because the grass keeps growing.

Reinold raised the possibility of planting low-growing vegetation where prairie and neighborhoods meet, the idea being such vegetation wouldn’t burn with the ferocity of dried-out grass.

Colorado o ers high school for students with intellectual disabilities until they are 21, Jordan wanted most to graduate with his class and get a diploma with them, she said.

“ ere’s no data saying that would work,” Reinold said. “But we could try.”

But weather conditions that fueled the Marshall Fire might have overcome even perfect grasslands management. Eighty mile-per-hour winds came after a fall that saw almost no moisture.

“Anytime a re has gotten established with winds less than 30 miles per hour, we’ve gotten control of it,” Reinold said. “But nothing has proven able to stop a re backed by 80 mile-per-hour winds.”

Suding agreed, saying the risk of catastrophic res will increase as fall in Boulder gets drier with worsening climate change. “ ere are actually many grassland res each year in this area,” she said. “But most occur when the plants are green and weather conditions are not super windy, so they get put out before they get big.

“In wind events like what occurred during the Marshall Fire, it would be hard to imagine that any active management of grasslands could reduce the risk.”

Suding said a better bet might be investing in active patrols to spot ignitions on high-risk days and safeguarding homes.

Such safeguarding, also known as home-hardening, is the specialty of the Wild re Partners Program that has mainly worked with homeowners to reduce their re risk in unincorporated western Boulder County. Using money from the 1A sales tax that passed last year, Wild re Partners is expanding into eastern Boulder County, helping residents understand the re risks certain choices might pose to their homes — like wooden fences, shrubbery up against siding, and vegetation prone to violent incineration, like junipers. Reinold said home-hard -

had worried about his future because so few college programs work with his learning style.

ening, coupled with experimental techniques like targeted grazing is our best bet at avoiding another Marshall Fire. Targeted grazing puts cows on high-risk areas, like borders of prairie and neighborhoods, to munch down fuel before the fall shoulder re season.

Suding added that creating better models for grassland re risk — an historically underrepresented research area when compared to forest wild res — should be a top priority.

“We need to know more before making quick decisions,” she said, explaining that hasty actions to reduce re risk might not only fail to do so, but could also harm the landscape. “If we only think about reducing grassland fuels and do it by mowing or other treatments, that might really damage soil health and biodiversity. We don’t want that, particularly since grasses regrow within a few weeks after a treatment.” at’s one of the goals of the working group.

In early June, members said they hope to put out a document to show residents what is already being done to address re risk on grasslands, and what practices should be adopted moving forward.

e main takeaways of their work will likely be a combination approach: some grazing, some prescribed burns, and some investment from the public in protecting their properties as best they can. “ ere’s no silver bullet,” Reinold said. “If there was clear information of what to do, people would have done it already.”
