Colorado cities and counties will soon be prohibited from imposing population and residential growth limits under a bill signed by Gov. Jared Polis this month.
House Bill 1255 will also repeal existing growth caps enacted in Lakewood, Boulder and Golden when it takes e ect in August.

As eight couples gathered below the stage, waiting to say their nuptial vows, o ciant Stella Diver said it was nearly enough to make a drag queen cry.
“ e only reason they chose me to do this is because my heart is made of ice,” Diver said at Adams County’s rst Marriagepalooza mass wedding event. “But looking at everyone right now, I’m starting to get a little misty.”
But speaking to the crowd at Adams County’s Riverdale Regional Park gathered for Adams County’s second annual Pride celebration, the Denver-based drag performer said it was much more than just emotional. It was important.
“Even now, the love we share for each other is questioned and considered an act of rebellion,” Diver said. “Pride is our moment, our month, to show the world how proud we are of the love we have for each other. And it does not stop with this weekend. e step you are taking today to cement your love for each other allows Pride to live on every day.”
And then Diver led the 16 people in their vows — moving forward into a great commitment of their love, promising to keep their part-
ner’s heart safe and asking them to love their partners as much as they love themselves.
And with that, Diver declared them married.
It was an experiment this year, Adams County Clerk Josh Zygielbaum said. He plans to bring the event back next year, bigger and even better.
“It was not as large as I wanted it to be, but it’s our rst year doing it,” he said. “Next year I anticipate we’ll have more.”
e 2022 celebration featured a concert and exhibition by muralists Babe Walls and garnered the county the “Non-Fair Facility Usage Award 2022” from the International Association of Fairs and Expos, which
“We know we have more work to do to make sure that all our communities are part of the solution, but what this bill does is it says no community can be part of the problem any longer,” Polis said before signing the bill.
e bill was introduced as a companion measure to Senate Bill 213, which would have rewritten land-use rules across the state and was the governor’s signature e ort at the Capitol this year to encourage more a ordable housing. But Senate Bill 213 failed on the nal day of the 2023 legislative session, leaving House Bill 1255 as one of the only major housing bills approved by the General Assembly and signed into law this year.
Rep. William Lindstedt, D-Broomeld, one of the prime sponsors of House Bill 1255, said while the measure was aimed at assisting the
Adams County Commissioners have selected Andrew “Drew” Dixon as the new Veterans Service Officer.
Today at a public hearing, the Adams County Board of Commissioners appointed. Dixon previously served as the assistant VSO with the Arapahoe County Veteran Services Division, and he’s received state and national accreditation. He officially started on June 7.
“The Board is pleased to appoint Drew as the new VSO,” says Steve O’Dorisio, Adams County Board Chair. “Drew is a dedicated public servant with a deep understanding of the challenges facing veterans. I’m confident he will be a strong advocate for our veterans and will help them access the benefits and services they deserve.”
Originally from New Mexico, Dixon is a graduate of Colorado Technical University in Colorado Springs. Dixon served as an aviation mechanic in the United States Navy and was honorably discharged in December 2007.
As officer, Dixon assists veterans and their families in the filing of claims for insurance, pensions, compensation for disability, hospitalization, vocational training, and any other state or federal
benefits available to veterans.

With a new grocery store nearby and new housing developments in the ground nearby or in the works, o cials at Platte Valley Medical Center said the neighborhood around 136th and Quebec needed them.
“My o ce is next to a King Soopers ,” said Dr. Brian Leonard, medical director for Intermountain Health’s Front Range clinics. He currently practices at the company’s Quail Creek o ce at 136th and Zuni in Broom eld.
“What I learned is the tremendous amount of research that SCL and Intermountain Health do, and knowing where people are, where their communities are and where people live.”
O cials from Platte Valley Medical Center and its parents Intermountain Health launched the construction of the newest medical practice, Amber Creek June 6.
“I can tell you we have room for and p” Intermountain Health Vice President Christopher Awtrey said.
e facility is scheduled to open in November.
e new medical center will o er space for six primary care doctors and two ob/gyns and their support sta as well as room for regularly visiting specialists, something Awtrey called “Hotelling for specialists”.
“We are talking about orthopedic surgeons and cardiologists and podiatrists,” Awtrey said. “We are going to bring unique care here.”
Hospital o cials marked the project by hammering ceremonial nails into a beam meant for the building with golden hammers. It was the second celebration of the project the medical group has hosted.
ey scheduled a groundbreaking in February, but Platte Valley Medical Center President Jaime Campbell said the group didn’t do much celebrating that day thanks to freezing temperatures.
“It was zero degrees with a minus eight wind chill, I believe, and Dr. Awtrey was laughing at me because
I’d left my gloves in the car,” Campbell said.
e medical group does care about the community, she said.
“If you’ve lived here for a long time, you know that Platte Valley has been your medical provider for decades,” she said. “And these clinics that Platte Valley is putting in are right where that growth is happening and this clinic is no exception. And so our history of caring for our communities where you live and work is deep. It’s something we are really committed to and it’s not just strategy.”
Booming development
e building will be part of the development at 136th and Quebec that includes King Soopers Marketplace that opened this spring. It’s just south of a dentist’s o ce that is also in mid-construction along Quebec and south of the Anythink Library’s planned Nature Library along 136th in ornton’s Aylor Open Space.
But it’s also centered around 20 residential developments in various stages of planning and construction in the area, meaning there is a market for medical care.
“ ere aren’t enough primary care providers to take care of all the
Zymos Brewing will be opening its new brewery in the fall of 2023 — but now in Littleton.
In 2020, they planned to be in the Mission Hill Mall at 88th and Wadsworth as a full brewery with 30 taps. ey had to ditch those plans due to some issues they ran into.
Alex Tift, one of the owners, said the rst was the zoning for the space. When they signed the lease, they didn’t know it wasn’t zoned for a brewery. It was originally zoned for restaurants and alcohol service. ey t in a di erent category as a brewery, so they worked with the landlord and the city’s planning commission to update the zoning. After, they got as far as submitting building permits and architectural drawings to get the construction process started. at’s when they ran into infrastructure issues. Since they are an all-electric

brewery, they needed to increase the electrical service voltage. ey said if they used a natural gas system, it probably would’ve worked, but the upgrade cost was over $100,000 to be electric.
Another need was to upgrade their water service line. Since they are a brewery, they needed a higher water ow rate. at was also over $100,000.
e COVID-19 pandemic also played a role.
“ e whole future was uncertain, and it just added a lot of time. Our original opening date was actually like September 2020. But with the zoning issues taking a lot of time, and everything getting shut down, there was a lot of uncertainty,” Tift said. “With that uncertainty, with all of the challenges, with all of the infrastructure issues, it really just made sense for us to step back and regroup.”
Now, they are working on their Littleton location at Bellevue and

SCL Health and Platte Valley became a part of Intermountain Health in 2022 and this is the second location the group has opened in the area in less than a year. e group opened a similar clinic in June 2022 at 217 N. 50th Ave. in Brighton with

“We were excited for (the Westminster) location. We had lots of community support, we had a vision for how it’s gonna be, we had the architectural plans drawn up. I could see that brewery, it was really hard to leave,” Tift said.
“ e job of our clinics is not just to take care of community members when they’re sick,” said Campbell. “It’s to keep our community well. We’re proud to play a part in improving the health of our communities by ensuring easy access to high-quality care close to home.”
A new performing arts center may be in the cards for ornton, and how it will manifest is full of possibilities.
e news comes from the June 5 planning session meeting when consultants presented their research on whether it’s doable for the city to build a new facility.
ose results weren’t promising.
But councilors directed sta to see how much a di erent study will cost to look into other possibilities, such as building a more exible space, having the facility be part of a larger-scale development, folding the plans in with a new downtown area, and others.
Previous study
e task of the consultants was to update previous feasibility studies from 2018 and 2019 that looked into whether a multi-use arts, cultural and event center made sense in ornton.
ey looked at two options, a community theater with 500 seats, classrooms, studios, art galleries and more or larger, revenue-generating theater with 1,500 seats, meeting
rooms, classrooms and more.
One factor was that there are already many performance venues in the Denver Metro area. Northglenn already has one that is already used and well-liked, consultant Gena Buhler, said.
“ ere are over 900 concerts and music events already here, so how do you make a di erence and make a di erent experience when there is already
so much here?” Buhler said. ornton is projected to grow in population, she said, and the demand for arts and culture will too. However, the residents are expected to age so it’s key to be multipurpose and exible.
Buhler also said that community engagement for her study was low, which included
Grassroots organizers for campaign nance reform in ornton are content with a bill that passed the Colorado Legislature during the 2023 session that addresses what they campaigned for in 2022.
In 2022, ornton City Councilor Julia Marvin brought up the issue at two di erent meetings and a group of residents also testi ed for changes during public comment.
ose changes didn’t get enough support from council-
ors at the time — only Marvin and City Councilors Kathy Henson and Karen Bigelow favored the reforms — so a group of residents set out to gather enough signatures to put a ballot initiative on ornton’s November 2022 ballot.
e initiative would have limited contributions to $400 for council candidates and $800 for mayoral candidates, created more frequent reporting deadlines and more disclosures on campaign materials, banned corporate, special interest and union money and made it easier to understand rules that govern making
donations.
ey failed to collect the 8,565 signatures in 21 days they needed to get the local measure on the 2022 ballot.
But after January 1, 2024, things will change around campaign nance due to HB23-1245, which state legislators approved last month. Ryan Bauer, one of ornton’s advocates, said the bill hit most of the concerns they had.
“ ere were no limits before, more or less. And so now we’ve got some concrete limits and the idea being we would rather not have corporate interests or special interests
being able to in uence our candidates with large dollar donations, I think it will accomplish that,” he said.
According to the bill’s summary, it will set limits on contributions from persons to candidates at $400 and from small donor committees at $4,000, require campaign contribution reports to be led with clerks at 60 days, 30 days and 15 days before the election and 30 days after, requires campaign contribution reports to be on a website for six years, as well as other new rules.
Rep. Jenny Willford of Northglenn and ornton was one
of the sponsors of the bills and said this year and years prior, the rst contribution report is due after the race has already unfolded.
“People have already gotten mail, people have already heard from candidates. And that’s the rst chance that people have to see where the money’s coming from, and that’s just too late in the election,” she said.
Willford touted the requirements for clerks to make the contribution reports online so to view them, a formal request
digital surveys, community focus groups, in-person interviews and sta interviews.
City Councilor Kathy Henson said there are more artists but the city has studied the matter before. e current lack of
interest may be low because those to previous studies didn’t come to fruition.
City Councilor Adam Matkowsky suggested building a performing arts center in conjunction with a performing arts school. at would bring in more demand.
Buhler also said there is not su cient demand to ll a 500seat theater and it would be

used isn’t as often as it should be. It would also cost too much money to fund. However, a more exible space could be a di erent story. She said there’s a lot of demand for community gathering spaces, art galleries, maker spaces and banquet spaces.
Other ideas
smaller municipalities wait until that 72-day mark.
With the theater not appearing feasible, sta suggested other options and considerations to explore through 2023.
e new facility could focus on broad appeal and access and would need to be a gathering place for the community with the potential to serve as a city center and a nancial engine for the city.
Other potential opportunities
included larger-scale development, a public-private partnership or a facility with different uses and purposes. They also suggested creating a potential downtown, an entertainment component like restaurants and bars and a theme-based development. One example in Colorado that was provided was McGregor Square in Denver which is south of Coors Field.
isn’t required.
She wanted to see ve reporting deadlines as opposed to four but said it was a compromise in large part due to candidates in smaller municipalities who le their petitions to run closer to the election. And where the clerk’s o ce isn’t as large as bigger cities.
“When we increase the campaign nance reporting requirements, people are able to be better informed and hopefully understand the motivation behind the candidate
While Colorado Municipal League Executive Director Kevin Bommer said that CML was neutral on the donation limits, their main objections were to the workload the bill will place on clerks.
He said matters like campaign nance should be addressed at the local level and that there should not be a statewide interest in municipal elections.
He had issues with the 60day ling deadline because the nomination petition deadline in the municipal election code is 72 days before an election. He said most candidates in
And Bommer said that what may make sense in bigger cities, doesn’t always apply to the smaller ones.
“You’re asking a small town clerk that is probably the only sta , maybe has a deputy, to follow all these kinds of complicated requirements when the issues aren’t even relevant in small municipalities,” he said. “So it really is hitting a y with a sledgehammer.”
In cities like ornton, where candidates le as soon as Jan. 1 for an election in November, he said those governing bodies should adopt an ordinance. Earlier reporting deadlines in those cities make sense to him.
“I think the legislators forget that there are 273 municipalities in Colorado,” he said.
Power of grassroots movements
Much of the bill came from the grassroots organizers in ornton, Willford said.
“ is is a really great example of grassroots work turning into actual policy change, and it’s exactly why we need people who care about particular issues and care about our communities to speak up and to share what they want for the community,” she said.
One problem the organizers like Bauer ran into was the time limit to get all the signatures. He said they only had a
couple of dozen volunteers.
“Between everybody’s work day, life schedules we just could not gather enough signatures to meet the threshold, unfortunately,” he said.
For future ballot initiatives, he’d like to see longer windows to make it more accessible for residents to put something on the ballot.
“When you have these special interests with large budgets, it’s not a problem for them to donate $10,000 to the candidate. at really can put your grassroots organizers and everyday citizens at a disadvantage because they don’t have those kinds of resources to further their message,” Bauer said.

recognizes successful events outside of the annual county fairs.
is year’s celebration featured a water slide, volleyball, a foam cannon and a drag show leading up to the evening performance by pop star Bebe Rexha.
Denver LGBTQ pop-up organizers Rainbow Dome co-hosted the celebration, building an instant roller skating rink in the parking lot in front of the park’s Waymire Dome and presenting a ash mob there. Zoe Campo, Adams County cultural arts manager said the county brought in the group to help give it a sense of exuberance.
“We think this event is all about fun and joy and that’s what they brought,” Campo said.
A midway along the edge of the parking lot featured tents with county o ces and vendors selling art, rainbow-colored clothing and gear while a handful of food trucks and vendors fed attendees along the other side, closer to the Waymire Dome.
County Commissioner Emma Pinter said last year’s event was centered on the grassy area below the parking lot. is year, the main events tent, the foam cannon and games were still down there but the event itself grew to include much more of the Riverdale park.
“We just found that the tents worked much better on the pavement,” she said. “We’re still learning. It’s our second year, and we’re still working on it.”
But the key event this year was the Marriagepalooza, the mass wedding. Zygielbaum said that idea came from his department sta .
“We participated in Pride last year, but we wanted to take it to the next level,” Zygielbaum said. “Since we oversee the issuance of marriage licenses for Adams County we thought it could be a great event and we started planning it a couple of months ago.”
e clerk’s o ce issued rainbowcolored marriage licenses to the couples that took their vows at the
ceremony. Zygielbaum said there was plenty of interest from couples.
“Hopefully next year, we’ll be able to double the size and we hope to be doing the event for a long time,” he said.
One of the couples, Tige Heacock and Jason Godtzinger, said they didn’t initially plan to get married at an event. Heacock said she wanted to get married on June 10, since it was her grandparents’ anniversary.
“We had planned to rent Boetcher Mansion and we went online to nd out what we needed to do for a marriage license and we saw Marriagepalooza,” Heacock said. “We have a ton of friends that we support and some that are getting married this year. We tried to get them to come out today, but they couldn’t. But we wanted to support everybody else and be part of the day.”
Pinter said the event is not meant to be politically provocative but simply to represent people that live in Adams County.
“I think it’s important to celebrate our whole community, and we do all sorts of celebrations throughout the year,” she said. “We just celebrated the opening of a new Veterans Memorial on Memorial Day and we’re about to do our Stars and Stripes for Fourth of July. is is another in the calendar of events where we celebrate our community. And this is very important to let our LGBTQ community members know we are celebrating them too.”
various elements of Senate Bill 213, it still will have an impact.
“It really does point the nger at the worst kind of action that you can see from a local government to limit housing,” he said.
House Bill 1255 aims to address the availability of housing by stripping local governments’ ability to limit how much new housing can be added to their communities.
“Anti-growth laws enacted by local governments severely undermine the ability to construct the additional housing units Coloradans need,” the legislative declaration in the bill said.
e bill will require that local governments at least have a hearing for new developments before deciding whether to reject them, Lindstedt said.
“ e impact is big with (the) cities being preempted, but the larger impact is that other communities can’t get on that policy and make the problem worse,” he said.
Local governments across the state were strongly opposed to both House Bill 1155 and Senate Bill 213, calling them an overreach
by the state and complaining that they would prevent communities from deciding how to address their unique needs.
House Bill 1255, however, didn’t receive nearly as much attention — or blowback — as its counterpart.
“ at one got overshadowed by the clearly more sweeping Senate Bill 213,” said Kevin Bommer, executive director of the Colorado Municipal League.
Still, the Colorado Municipal League, which represents cities and towns across the state, viewed House Bill 1255 as a similar attack on local control.
Elected o cials in Pitkin, San Miguel, Routt, Summit and Huerfano counties signed a joint letter opposing the bill in May. Mayors and council members in Aspen and Fountain signed on as well.
“ is bill responds to the policies of four Colorado municipalities, but strips away critical tools utilized by local governments across the state to actually achieve a ordable housing, reduce sprawl and incentivize the prudent planning of water, natural resources and infrastructure development,” the letter said.
e letter argued the bill could harm the state’s water supply, rural lands and agricultural areas, and that it failed to encourage any new
a ordable housing.
e bill o ers temporary exemptions for local governments that need to develop their infrastructure, including water services, to accommodate growth. Also excluded from the ban are areas with inclusionary housing ordinances, which require a certain amount of a ordable housing to be built each year, and local governments that have recently experienced a natural disaster and have been inundated with new construction requests, such as the town of Superior, which was hard hit by the 2021 Marshall re. Golden’s growth cap, which limits residential development to 1% each year, was approved by voters in 1995. is year, the cap permitted only 88 new units.
Lakewood’s cap, which was approved by voters in 2019, has the same 1% restriction per year. In 2022, about 700 units were permitted.
Boulder has the same cap, which allows about 400 new units each year. It was originally enacted in the city in 1975 with a 2% limit then was reduced further to 1% in 1995.
e bill’s other sponsors are Rep. Ruby Dickson, D-Greenwood Village and Sen. Julie Gonzales, D-Denver.
June 7 was the deadline for Polis to sign or veto any bills passed by the
legislature during its 2023 lawmaking term, which ended May 8. House Bill 1255 was the nal measure to receive a bill signing ceremony, which Polis said was intentional because he thinks the measure is so important.
Any bills the governor doesn’t veto or sign will automatically become law at midnight.

National Republicans say Colorado’s highly competitive 8th Congressional District is one of their top 2024 targets. But rst the GOP has to nd a candidate to run against Democratic U.S. Rep. Yadira Caraveo of ornton.
No Republican has led to run against Caraveo next year in the district that spans Denver’s northeast suburbs along U.S. 85 into Greeley. She beat Republican state Sen. Barbara Kirkmeyer by less than a percentage point, or roughly 1,600 votes, in 2022.
It’s still early, but each day Caraveo doesn’t have a challenger is another day she can build her fundraising advantage. Candidates must le to run before they can start raising money.
Caraveo’s campaign began April with about $300,000 in the bank.
e 8th District is expected to be the GOP’s best shot at ipping a seat of consequence in Colorado next year, and the outcome of the contest could help decide which party controls the U.S. House.
A number of Republican politicians are weighing whether to toss their hat into the ring, including Kirkmeyer.
“I’m still considering it,” Kirkmeyer
told e Colorado Sun last week. “I haven’t said that I’m going to and I haven’t ruled it out at this point.”
She plans to make a decision by July 4. If she makes another congressional bid, she’ll have to forgo running for reelection to another four-year term in the state Senate, where she is a member of the powerful Joint Budget Committee. Republicans, however, are in a 23-12 minority in the chamber, and they aren’t expected to take control of the Senate after the 2024 election.
e GOP’s next real shot at taking power in the Colorado Senate will be in the 2026 election.
State Rep. Gabe Evans, of Fort Lupton, is also mulling an 8th District bid.
“I haven’t said ‘yes.’ I haven’t said ‘no,’” he said. “I can de nitively tell you I have no concrete plans right now. Everybody and their brother has been reaching out to me.”
Another Republican considering a bid for the seat is Weld County Commissioner Scott James.
“I have received numerous inquiries from folks and have been asked to run,” he said. “I’m honored by the encouragement and am taking the time to discuss this with my colleagues and my family.”
Weld County Commissioner Steve Moreno and former state Rep. Dan Woog, of Erie, are taking a look, too.
“ ere are multiple seats I’m keeping my eye on,” said Woog, who narrowly lost reelection to the state House last year, “but I haven’t taken steps toward any at this point in time.”
Moreno said an 8th District bid is on the table.
“I’ve had some encouragement,” he said. “I’ve had some conversations.”
Politico suggested last month that Joe O’Dea, the Denver construction company owner who made an unsuccessful 2022 U.S. Senate bid, is considering whether to make a run in the 8th District.
e Sun con rmed he is interested, but hasn’t taken any steps toward launching a campaign.
One big hold up: O’Dea lives in the Cherry Hills Village/Greenwood Village area, far from the 8th District’s boundaries. While congressional candidates don’t have to live in the district they are running to represent, O’Dea would almost certainly be painted as a carpetbagger by opponents if he launched a bid to unseat Caraveo. at fact reduces the likelihood he would jump into the race.
O’Dea’s federal campaign account — which remains active — had about $50,000 in it at the start of April. He gave millions to his campaign. O’Dea lost to Democratic U.S.

Commerce City’s 88 Drive-In eatre, the last remaining drive-in theater in the Denver area, is set to close this summer after more than
ve decades in business.
Susan Kochevar, the owner of the theater, is stepping away from the business.
“I love that place and I love this community,” Kochevar said in a city council meeting on June 5. “But
what happens to drive-ins all over the United States is what’s happening to mine.”
ere are about 300-350 drive-in theaters still operating across the United States, according to various drive-in operators and advocates. Of those, Colorado has about a half dozen. Fort Collins, Pueblo, Buena Vista are among towns across the state with operating drive-in theaters.
Kochevar said her family has owned the 88 Drive-In eatre since 1976. e theater itself has been operational since 1972. Operating the theater is no longer nancially viable and needs work, she said. For one, the screen needs to be replaced and that would cost around $100,000.
“I’m faced with writing it down and being bled dry or selling it,” Kochevar said, “and I really don’t want to see it left empty.”
Kochevar said she put the lot up for sale in 2018 and eventually sold it in 2021 to industrial real estate company, First Industrial Realty Trust, which has asked the city to rezone the property so that it can construct warehouses.
“Kids are not going to have the same feelings or perspective with a family in a car to go and watch a movie,” Commerce City resident
Guillermo Serna said at the meeting. e site at 8780 Rosemary St., on the corner of East 88th Avenue and Rosemary Street, is in Irondale Neighborhood. e change is consistent with Irondale’s 2018 Neighborhood and Infrastructure Plan, which pushes to increase industrial uses in most of the neighborhood.
“Changing from the movie theater, I think is what’s causing pain, heart pain, for people,” Councilmember Susan Noble said at the meeting. “But I certainly understand the area. Irondale is industrial.”
At the meeting, First Industrial Realty Trust Regional Director John Strabel said the proposal for a warehouse could support three to four businesses, such as UPS delivery.
“It’s designed to be multi-tenant, smaller 10-, 20-, 30,000-square-foot units with smaller truck and UPS distribution going out of it,” Strabel said.
Construction is anticipated to start in the months ahead and the warehouse could open in spring 2025.
Strabel said the current construction plan includes keeping the 88 Drive-In sign on the property.
City Council made no nal decision and voted to continue the discussion of First Industrial Realty Trust’s proposal on July 17.
Do n’t doubt for a minute that Governor Polis and the Democrat legislative leadership have given up on their idea to create so-called a ordable housing opportunities through usurping local government zoning and land use powers.
A 2024 legislative priority will be somewhat similar to the version that experienced pushback by both Democrats and Republicans in the nal hours of the 2023 session. Perhaps, the next bill won’t have so many components to it that
generate as much opposition.
However, the basic idea of dictating apartment zoning regardless of the local government’s comprehensive land use plan’s density restrictions will still be a “nonstarter” with local governments. Plus, state o cials need to realize they must address the whole water supply component when pushing for high density developments.
Finally, if Polis and the legislative leadership think they can dictate actions to provide “a house for every budget” they are simply naïve and disingenuous. While it may be a catchy political slogan, in reality, it will not happen.
As for the accessory dwelling units (ADU’s) rule change which was pushed as a part of the package, some cities already allow
them. Little interest in ADU’s has been experienced.
Debt ceiling increase and budget cuts should not be about winners and losers
e debate and negotiations on raising the federal debt ceiling should have and could have had far less drama and rhetoric.
President Biden should have been receptive to negotiating with House Speaker Kevin McCarthy much sooner. Biden was naïve if he thought he could get the debt ceiling increased without supporting budget cuts. Why take the risk of nancial instability and triggering a likely recession just to show who has larger manhood?
Anyway, we all lived through it and the problem was temporarily
solved. However, I really dislike how the media and press couched the outcome with winners and losers. For example, the June 1 New York Times coverage’s headline stated “Who Won?” at should not be the focus tallying up pluses and minuses by each political party.
e focus should be that we were able to avoid what could have been a huge nancial impact on America’s ability to pay its bills and avoid a likely recession. Our economy is teetering enough as it is without another enormous potential negative impact.
Anyway, we can now get back to whatever is normal these days and see what is next on the horizon.
SEE CHRISTOPHER, P13It was right before the pandemic of 2020 was announced. My wife and I had the opportunity to participate in a certi cation program put on by the Zig Ziglar Corporation. It is a program called Ziglar Legacy Certi cation, or ZLC for those who have gone through it and graduated.
Although I was the previous president of the company, and knew the content in depth, I wanted to share this experience with my wife and carry the o cial designation as a Ziglar Legacy Certi ed trainer and coach.
e group that we joined was a ectionately known as ZLC23, as we were the 23rd group to complete the certi cation. On the very rst day we met our classmates, each came up with their own story, their business story, their personal story, and then there was their life story. We met Jessica, Shelly, Marvin, Sundiata, JillMarie, Brent,

David, Amy, Jerrod, and a few others. But there was one woman who stood out amongst the rest, Jill.
Jill’s smile, enthusiasm, and passion for wanting to complete the program and to begin helping others was contagious. Her energy and intentionality for being a difference maker in the lives of others was abundantly clear. Her purpose and mission for attending were evident in how she participated in the learning through role playing, table exercise, and group discussions. I remember sitting next to her for two of those group discussions and table exercises. And I remember walking away from both feeling the impact of her presence and contributions to the conversations.
One of these exercises required us to share at our table what we liked, appreciated, or loved about someone else we had gotten to know during the week. We had to write it down privately on a note, and then read it out loud before handing it to the person at our table that we were writing about. I will share with you that the person reading the note and receiving the

compliments was usually in tears, happy tears. As it was Jill’s turn to be the center of attention, we all eagerly wrote our messages of love, a ection, and appreciation. And as we all read our note, the consistency was unreal; Jill was light, love, passionate, determined, a role model of success, bright, beautiful, and someone who exuded the desire to help others.
Why am I sharing this story? Sadly, Jill passed away suddenly last month. Her beautiful smile to never grace this earth again, but that will bless the halls of heaven for eternity.
ose of us who knew her well, knew all sides of Jill as we had three plus years to share calls, Zoom calls, webinars, texts, and emails. Some of us got to see her and be with her since we graduated ZLC23. And there wasn’t any one of us who didn’t appreciate her e orts to worry more about us and how we were doing than how she was personally doing herself.
As the news hit our ZLC23 class, we reached out to one another for comfort and understanding; it’s one of the things that happen

when you become Ziglar certi ed and connect with your classmates, you graduate as di erence makers in the personal, professional, and spiritual lives of everyone you have the opportunity to meet. And Jill epitomized that mission and purpose, she changed us all. Even when she was going through life’s challenges herself, she was the rst one to respond to a prayer request, jump into a conversation, or ask a meaningful question during a podcast or webinar.
Jill was a di erence maker. I write this column as a tribute to Jill, a true ZLC’er class of ‘23. I write this to remind us that we all have something to give to others regardless of how short or long our lives here on earth are. We can smile, be kind, show our passion, know our purpose, and simply care about the person sitting across from us in the moment, because that is who Jill was, a living example to us all.
Is there someone who you need to tell how awesome they are before they are gone? Did this

Metzger Farm immersive theatre is worth the ticket price
I am not a regular movie or live theatre critic, but I want to share with readers the current production of “Pride of the Farm” by the Catamount eatre group that highlights John Metzger, his family and the farm.
e Metzger Farm, located west of Lowell Boulevard and 122nd Avenue is a treasure that the cities of Broom eld and Westminster partnered to acquire under their respective open space programs in about 2017.
Currently, the immersive play runs through June 25 on Wednesdays through Sunday on the farm site. You learn about John Metzger’s di cult upbringing, his political career - as short as it washis legal mentor and his family while living on the farm.
It’s a superb history lesson and gives the audience a avor of life on an early homestead farm starting in the 1940’s. You will love Betty Metzger and her perseverance.
Tickets are $25 and can be purchased on the City of Westminster’s website.
Arizona water restrictions could be a precursor for Colorado
While I don’t usually follow decisions, actions and trends outside of Colorado, I want to share a news article involving water and Arizona’s plight. I think the point of the article is relevant to us in Colorado since both states rely on the Colorado River as well as the mega drought which we have “shared.”
e State of Arizona will not be approving new housing construction along the fast growing edges of metro Phoenix which relies on ground water (wells) for domestic potable water. Due to years of overuse and the multi-decade drought, state o cials are seeing diminish -
ing groundwater.
Governor Katie Hobbs acknowledges that this action could well impact some of the fastest growing suburbs of the nation’s 5th largest city such as Buckeye and Queen Creek. Developers will still be able to use surface or recycled water for new homes.
Projections show that over the next 100 years, demand in metro Phoenix for almost 4.9 million acre feet of ground water would be unmet without corrective action.
To put things in perspective, it is helpful to know that 80,000 unbuilt homes which were already approved with water certi cation from the state will be able to be built throughout the metro area.
Wells in Colorado are not used as heavily
Generally speaking, metro Denver cities and water districts rely mainly on surface water rights (ditch water) as compared to wells. Diversions o the South Platte River and Clear Creek are two of the main sources used via manmade canals.
e exception to this statement is that water providers in the southeast part of the metro area (not Aurora) do rely heavily on groundwater. Plus, I am not aware of any existing problems with adequate well water production in the metro area.
However, it is bene cial to know how the problem is being handled in another state that is experiencing similar heavy development activity and located in the west with drought problems. It could be a precursor for things to come some day as recharging the aquifers is much more di cult these days with heavier demand.
Retail land development is “robust” while new office activity is “lagging”
Looking at metro Denver’s real estate health, JLL, a global real estate company with a presence in Denver, has reported that postpandemic real estate transactions are both up and down.
For example, retail is showing low vacancy rates. According to Sam Zaitz, an executive with JLL, “there is very little availability for retail space in metro Denver.”
lives, it really will be a better than good life.
Overall, about 5%-6% of the retail space is available.
However he points out that the “sought-after” trade areas i.e. retailers and restaurants is closer to 2% vacancy. e lower vacancy rates in retail are in part due to lower construction activity levels. Zaitz points out “What we are seeing is more of mixed-use with retail going on the rst oor of o ce and multi-family developments.”
In Westminster, we can attest to this trend with the New Downtown. Westy sta just recently gave an update on development activity at the so-called “urban center” where small restaurants, retailers and businesses are starting to lease space on the rst oor of the apartment buildings.
Unfortunately, not many of them will produce much sales tax.
On another note, Zaitz mentioned the growing concern about vacant o ce space in downtown Denver. Currently, there is a 28.1%
vacancy rate.
“ is is stirring concerns about the downtown bouncing back and the potential of foreclosures.”
If foreclosures are triggered, then there is concern that regional banks could tumble which have made large loans to o ce developments.
Of course, the desire of many employees who normally work in o ces, whether they work in downtown or a suburban setting, is to continue to work from home at least a part of the time. at seems to be the major culprit in the vacancy rates.
I would say don’t plan on any major o ce development in the north suburbs for some time.

Cynthia Ann Brown-Gettman was born in Boulder, Colorado, on November 6, 1946. Her parents, Wesley Brown and Lisa DeSantis Brown, settled in ornton, Colorado, with Cindy, brother Val Brown and sister Melinda Brown Younger. After graduating from Merritt Hutton High School in ornton, Colorado. She attended Adam State College in Alamosa, Colorado. She received a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Education. While attending, she met and fell in love with Harold Doogie Gettman from Fort Morgan, Colorado. ey were married on August 2, 1969, and moved west to California to begin their teaching careers. Cindy began teaching special education at J.W. Fair in San Jose, California. She later taught English, History, and Drama. In 1975 they welcomed their son Ryan Dean Gettman, and he was followed by Amanda Christine Gettman Banks in 1981. In 1983 Cindy and Doogie moved to San Martin, California, to a home with property, a large yard, a garden, and livestock. In the ’80s, Cindy and Doogie began to travel throughout the U.S. and abroad. Cindy also was active in the Gilroy Garlic Festival as a chairwoman multiple times and a Board Member. ey also took road trips in their R.V. and traveled with friends and family at various camping sites through many states. Cindy was a devout Catholic throughout her life, with many hours volunteering for their church, their causes, and other charities. Education was very important to Cindy and Doogie, and they were proud that both of their children earned college degrees from Fresno State and their grandchildren are on their paths to earn the same. In 2003, Cindy and Doogie retired after 32 years of teaching, with Cindy at J.W.
Fair for 32 straight years. During their retirement, they continued to travel and were joined by friends and their family, which became more frequent and something both enjoyed. ese trips and camping were with their children, daughter-in-law Anna Alaniz Gettman, son-in-law Ryan Banks, grandson Nikolas Gettman, grandson Nathan Gettman, and granddaughter Brooklyn Banks. In 2018, Doogie preceded Cindy to heaven after a short illness which she loved and cared for him throughout. After his passing, Cindy gained more friends, traveled even more, and was busier than when she was raising her kids and teaching. During this time, she was very active with Book Clubs, Yoga, Swimming, Camping, events with her grief girls, attending plays and concerts, and continued to be involved with St. Catherine’s Church. Cindy continued to update and renovate their family home in San Martin and the property. On May 28, 2023, Cindy was reunited with Doogie, where she once again had her nightly glass of wine, her favorite Italian food, and great conversation. Cindy is survived by her family, many friends, and her beloved dog Lincoln. Celebration of Life Mass will be held on June 14, 2023, at St. Catherine’s Church in Morgan Hill @ 10am. e Banks-Gettman family asks that, in lieu of owers, to donate to the three charities that Cindy believed in. Donations can be made to Martha’s Kitchen, St. Jude Children’s Hospital, and/or St. Catherine’s Church in Morgan Hill. Cindy will be laid to rest at Gavilan Hills Memorial Park in Gilroy, California, where she will always be given a view of her beloved lunch spot, Taco Bell.
Search-and-rescue dogs embody the mail carrier motto: “Neither snow, nor rain nor gloom of night” will keep these trusty canines from their appointed rounds — searching for people or items with single-minded purpose.
For the dogs and their trainers who are part of the Colorado branch of SARDUS — Search and Rescue Dogs of the United States — training is a weekly, if not daily, endeavor to prepare dogs to certify in an area of search and rescue or to keep the dog’s skills sharp after certi cation.
“ e training continues for life,” said Cathy Bryarly, a retired Boulder sheri ’s deputy who trains search-and-rescue dogs. “ is has to be part of your life. It goes way beyond a hobby,
or it’s not going to work. It’s a calling.”
SARDUS members agree that it’s a labor a love based in their strong resolve to help others. Not only do the dogs and their handlers train multiple times a week, enlisting family and friends to hide, so the dogs have someone to search for, but handlers also attend seminars on a variety of topics and work together by laying trails for others to follow.
Trainers are always learning, so they can improve their canines’ ability to help in emergency situations.
Search-and-rescue dogs and their handlers are not paid; in fact, handlers spend a lot on the dogs, the equipment, the training and more. e goal is to be certi ed to go on missions, the term for helping law enforcement nd people, bodies or objects needed in an investigation.
Call the people trainers or handlers, but
more importantly, they’re dog lovers who want to work as a team with their pets to help others.
The humility of training
e trainers say it simply: Training their canines is humbling.
“Our dogs don’t make the mistakes,” Anjie Julseth-Crosby of Morrison said. “We do. ere’s so much to remember. e training is about me trying to understand what (the dogs) are saying. e human fails, not the dog.”
In fact, Julseth-Crosby, who started training her bloodhounds two years ago, has compiled a 19-page document called “ ings I wish I knew two years ago.”
Training involves having a dog follow a scent for several miles, helping the dog return to the SEE DOGS, P15
scent trail if needed and rewarding the dog when it nds the person or item it is directed to follow.
Training can be messy as canines follow the scent wherever it takes them over all sorts of terrain in all kinds of weather.
food or toys. Once you gure that out, then trainers must convince the dog to do what they want the pup to do for the reward. It begins with what is called a puppy run-away, where you get the pup to run after a person, and when the pup nds the person, the pup gets a reward.
at transitions to following a scent to nd a person.
“It’s just a matter of making it harder and harder to the point where a dog is searching 120 acres for one person or that trailing dog is following a 24-hour-old scent through a subdivision,” Bryarly said.
No matter what or who the dog is nding, it must go to it, stay there, lay down and point its nose, so the handler knows the dog is saying that the item or person is there.
Dogs cannot certify to be search-and-rescue dogs until they are at least 18 months old, but it usually takes two years or more for the rst certi cation, Bryarly said.
“Search-and-rescue dogs that are out in the public have to be just perfect,” Bryarly said. “ ey have to stay focused and not get distracted by other dogs, animals or people.”
Getting involved
irty years ago, Julseth-Crosby made a pledge that she would own a bloodhound and train it to be a search-and-rescue dog. at’s because Ali Berelez, 6, who had been kidnapped and murdered in 1993, was found four days after her abduction by bloodhound Yogi.
Julseth, at that time a single parent with a 6-yearold, felt kinship with Ali’s family. However, as a full-time teacher, Julseth-Crosby decided to wait to train when she retired in 2021. True to her word, she began training her bloodhounds Bruno and Miley.
Niamh Coleman of Nederland was looking for something to do with her dogs, thinking it was a casual pastime. Now search-and-rescue dog training is closer to an obsession.
a multiple-day-a-week job.
Jayne Zmijewski, who taught outdoor skills to rangers most of her life, said search-and-rescue dogs were a natural progression. She’s had four search-and-rescue dogs in the last 30 years, most recently her chocolate Labrador Kodi.
Teresa Verplanck of Bailey is training Lilo, a border collie mix, for wilderness searches. She called the SARDUS group she trains with wonderful, and trainers and dogs have become a big family.
Jake Udel, who lives near Rustic, Colorado, is a volunteer firefighter and medic, and he trains his dog, Java the Mutt, a Czech shepherd, “for the love of dogs, helping people and the activity.”
Julseth-Crosby said the number of hours can be whatever trainers can put in, but at a minimum eight hours a week, and some weeks, she trains or prepares for training as much as 40 hours a week.
The right breed
While just about any breed of dog can become a search-and-rescue dog, bloodhounds, shepherds and retrievers are the typical dogs people think of, but other breeds — if they have the nose for the work — can be certi ed.
“It works better to start with a breed that is bred to do this,” Bryarly said. “In fact, there are some breeders who breed speci cally search-and-rescue dogs. But sometimes you nd a dog that is good at this, and it’s a breed you never would have guessed could do this work.”
e most important thing, Bryarly said, is the bond that the dog and handler have with each other.
“People have told me over the years that they are amazed at something their dog does,” she said. “People think they are the smart ones, but the dog is the smart one. We are just trying to keep up with them.”
Starting early
Training starts early — when pups are a few weeks old.
“Start with a dog who has a high drive,” Bryarly said. “A high-drive dog is always busy and always wanting something to do. If that energy is not channeled right away, the pup will tear your house apart.”
Most canines prefer one of two types of rewards:
Melanie Weaver of Lafayette knew her dog, Lego,
Udel figures he’s been on 75 to 100 missions since he certified his first dog in 2005.
SARDUS
SARDUS, one of several search-and-rescue dog organizations in the country, helps smaller organizations test and certify dogs. To get the trailing or air-scent certification, which is usually the first certification a dog earns, the canine must follow a 24-hour-old trail to find a person. SARDUS only works with law enforcement, so a person cannot request a search-andrescue dog.
Bryarly said about 30 dogs in Colorado are certified by SARDUS with most of them trailing dogs — the most of any organization in the country.
Membership in SARDUS is $25, and some people join who don’t own dogs, but they want to help in other ways such as creating tracking trails or hiding from dogs, Bryarly said.
Trainers must be physically fit since they follow their dogs through all sorts of terrain, plus they take classes such as the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s incident command courses, so they understand the structure of incidents and managing evidence.
For the SARDUS trainers, the work is definitely a passion.

The Stonewall uprising is a key ashpoint in 20th-century American history — one that changed the course of the struggle for LGBTQIA+ equality in the country. But a lot of what happened during the summer of 1968 is shrouded in memory and mystery.
And while there will always be questions that remain unanswered, the Benchmark eatre explores the events that lead to and followed the uprising in the world premiere of “Stonewall.”
“With how far we’ve come and how far we still have to go, it seemed like the right time to revisit Stonewall,” said Neil Truglio, director of the production and artistic director at Benchmark. “ e question for us was, how can we dramatize the events in a way that’s interesting and educational?
Developed by the creatives at Benchmark, 1560 Teller St. in Lakewood, “Stonewall” runs through Saturday, July 1. Performances are at 8 p.m. ursdays through Saturdays and 2 p.m. on Sundays.
e aim of “Stonewall” was to tell as accurate a story of what happened as possible, so the show was culled from actual interviews and information about the uprising and was inspired by members of the largest cast the space has ever seen. Since the crowds at Stonewall would have been incredibly diverse, diversity needed to be re ected in the production.
“We went about the piece by opening the casting as wide as we could,” Truglio said. “From the community that turned out to the auditions, we were able to create and elevate the characters we wanted to tell the story.”
While the creatives were building the show, it was almost impossible not to compare the situation at the time to where society currently is, especially with the rollback of trans rights in many states and book bans on LGBTQIA+ books. e resulting show serves as a dialogue between the past and present.
“A member of the cast was there at the time and said there’s too much of then in now,” Truglio remembered. “People still feel like second-class citizens and live their lives based on court decisions.”
e hope that audiences who see “Stonewall” come away willing to have conversations and think critically about what occurred at the time and what is happening now, according to Truglio.
“Every group, community and individual has their own vision of what Stonewall was like, so we wanted to
create a show where everyone who attends will learn something,” he said. “I hope audiences walk away with newfound knowledge and an appreciation for where we are today. People should see Stonewall as the beginning, not the end.”

Two of Colorado’s most esteemed musical acts will be inducted into the Colorado Music Hall of Fame on June 10, as Hazel Miller along with Big Head Todd and the Monsters will be honored for their respective achievements as individuals as well as their longstanding collaborations.
Over the past four decades, Miller has earned a reputation as one of Colorado’s consummate performers, playing countless shows throughout the state including multiple stops at Red Rocks — where she and Big Head Todd will be inducted into the Hall at as part of an already-soldout show — and a recent trip to the Capitol, where she was honored with a proclamation for her contributions to the state.
was founded in 1986 in Boulder and reached national commercial success in the 90s, particularly with their 1993 album “Sister Sweeter,” which has since been certi ed platinum.
Miller began collaborating with the Monsters in 1995 with the track “Wearing Only Flowers,” before accompanying the band on a number of tracks. eir collaboration has extended to multiple tours together, which Miller partook on until 2001 when she decided to focus on her career in Colorado.
Karen Radman, the Colorado Music Hall of Fame’s executive director, said that both acts were selected because of their impact in Colorado and beyond. e frequent collaborators, who Radman said have long been on the Hall’s shortlist, were inducted together in an e ort to keep with the Hall’s tradition of thematic
induction classes.
“In the past, we’ve done larger induction class where we put together thematic induction, whether it be a genre of music, an era in Colorado music history,” Radman said. “And since we weren’t going to do a really large induction class, we really wanted to ensure we were inducting Hazel along with Big Head Todd for both their collaborations as well as their individual successes.”
Big Head Todd’s Todd Park Mohr said his band rst saw Hazel at JJ McCabes in the 80s.
“We had rst seen Hazel at JJ McCabe’s when we were students at Boulder in the ’80s,” Mohr said. “We thought she was a soul diva and she knew about music we did not. We invited her to sing on a track called ‘Wearing Only Flowers’ in 1995 but soon after she joined us a lot. We have had the pleasure of
her company on many tours, shows and trips since but still maintain our separate identities. We have a close relationship beyond music and have been through a lot together over the years.”
Miller — an Arvada resident — said the collab began with ‘Wearing Only Flowers,’ but soon blossomed into a longstanding friendship.
“In the fall of ‘95, they said, ‘Well come sing on this song,’” Miller said. “A cab pulled off to my house, dropped off one CD, and left. I had a day and a half to learn this song… In 1996, I went out on tour (with Big Head Todd and the Monsters) for a month. They said, ‘Just come and see if you like it.’ And I did that till 2001, and I had a ball.”
Miller and Big Head Todd will be inducted at the Monster’s sold-out Red Rocks show on June 10.
Inventor, musician, tennis player, coach, and most recently Uber driver are the various professions that have sustained Gene Morris’ life over the last several decades, including what he considers a robust spiritual path.
“I just love God’s creation, and I love to get out in it and explore and experiment with life. A lot of things I don’t understand, but I don’t have to understand them to enjoy them. So that’s kind of where I am in life,” he explained, while sitting outside next to his violin, which was leaning up against a park bench.
Morris says even though he is 71 years old, in his mind, he feels more like 17.
“I’ve been around for a while. I guess you could say I’m old enough to be a sage and that’s kind of dangerous because it means I have a trace of wisdom in there, and I know just enough to be dangerous, but the love of life keeps me like a teenager,” he explained with a laugh.
Morris told Rocky Mountain PBS that he plays the trumpet, piano, harmonica, violin and viola, which, according to his Facebook page made it easy for ve-time Grammy winning singer/songwriter Christopher Cross to ask Morris to be a
performer in his band.
“I played with Christopher Cross, and I think that’s where I learned a lot about the industry,” he added, explaining how that was the highlight of his career. “It was more than just the music; we would socialize and eat out. I got to know him.”
Morris’ Facebook page also talks about his 30-to-40-year career as a tennis coach; he claims to have
worked with a few of the greats like Andy Roddick and Martina Navratilova.
He said his transition to tennis was an easy decision after his wife decided that going on a rock and roll tour with Christopher Cross wasn’t going to happen since they had a young son at home.
“My son was one at the time — my rst-born, Nathan — and I was
talking about going on the road for a year and my wife was like, ‘drugs, sex, and rock and roll? I don’t think so darling,’” he said with a laugh. “And she was right.”
“If I’d gone on tour, I’d probably not be alive today, so I picked up tennis as my income over the next 40 or so years and was able to raise my kids and a ord a family,” he said. ese days Morris is an Uber driver which he says pays for patent attorney’s fees for his development of a contraption called the “wave,” that helps violins sound better during studio recordings.
“One of the things I discovered while playing violin in the studio [is that] you have this wonderful hollow wood bodied instrument right next to your ear, and when I went into the studio and played, I wasn’t hearing that. It sounded like a rubber band; very thin, it didn’t have this rich wood sounds,” Morris explained. Overall, Morris feels his life has been a lucky one. “I’m blessed because I get to hop in a car and meet people and I always carry my ddle on the dash,” he said. “You know, with the road rage, I can look at my ddle and just chill out and realize this too shall pass.”
Story from Rocky Mountain PBS, which has a content-sharing agreement with Colorado Community Media.
Automated speed-enforcement cameras could become far more common across Colorado under a bill signed into law by Gov. Jared Polis this month.
e legislation was supported by transportation safety advocates and Democratic lawmakers who argued more speed and red light enforcement cameras would lead to lower speeds and safer roads. Tra c deaths across the state hit a 40-year high in 2022 of 745 fatalities.
e bill allows local governments to use such cameras in more places, including busy — and deadly — arterial roads like Federal Boulevard in the Denver area. It also lifts a limit that required police o cers to station speed cameras while they were in use. Denver o cials have said they support the bill.
“We need help,” city tra c engineer Emily Gloeckner said in May. “We don’t have the resources to be out there with a huge level of enforcement.”
e cameras are unpopular with some motorists. But research suggests they are indeed useful tools in improving road safety.
“Speeding vehicles are one of the most common concerns we hear in
the cycling community, and it is a major factor contributing to crashes and fatalities on Colorado’s roads,” Bicycle Colorado Executive Director Peter Piccolo wrote in an email.
“We are pleased that the Governor prioritized road safety and signed this bill.”
The sponsors said they crafted the bill to “thread the needle” of safety needs and civil liberties. For example: First-time, minor offenders of speed limits would only be issued a warning. The bill caps speeding fines at $40, though that can double for violations near schools. Signal violations would be limited to $75.
e bill also prevents a given government from “immobilizing” a vehicle if its owner doesn’t pay nes, and citations would not lead to points against a driver’s license. Some Republicans worried the increased use of cameras would create a “surveillance state” and said local governments might use them to generate revenue.
“ ere’s a perverse incentive to do these,” state Rep. Ken DeGraaf, R-Colorado Springs, said during a oor debate in May.
e Senate sponsor, however, told CPR News in March that the low ne amounts were chosen to ght the perception that the cameras
It’s a four-year-old mystery at the state Capitol.
Why does a bill that would deploy high-tech cameras to scan for potentially deadly wild res fail year-afteryear despite universal praise from lawmakers from both sides of the aisle?
Equipped with arti cial intelligence and heat sensors, the cameras are steadily replacing an older warning system used in wild re areas that relied on humans scanning the horizon from watch towers.
State Sen. Joann Ginal, D-Fort Collins, said the new technology can give re ghters a key advantage.
“It can detect just a wisp of smoke, and it’s that type of situation in remote areas that could save forests and homes and properties and lives,” she said at the bill’s rst hearing this year.
Colorado lawmakers have tried and failed three times in the last four years to pass a bill to purchase the cameras. ey’ve also struggled to explain why such a bill has not passed.
Democrats blamed Republican
libuster attempts of other bills at the very end of last year’s session for its death, but that didn’t explain why Democrats didn’t schedule it for a key vote after it passed its rst test unanimously two months earlier. is year’s revived version of the camera bill unanimously passed the Senate in April. But just like last year, the bill never got scheduled for that key vote in the House appropriations committee.
Republican Rep. Mike Lynch sponsored the bill and said he wasn’t told why it was being killed before a public vote.
“If there’s backroom stu that went on with it, I wasn’t privy to it,” he said last week.
KUNC discovered there was some “backroom stu ” that Lynch and the public weren’t aware of at the time. And it might help explain what happened.
In late March, Democrats who control the legislature privately ranked the legislation in a secret ballot process they call quadratic voting.
Democrats in the Senate, which passed the bill unanimously, ranked

ying past them and going the same speed as skis and snowboards.”
BY CODY JONES SUMMIT DAILY NEWS
It was not that long ago when the only way to get down a mountain was on a pair of skis. Skiers used to dominate snowsports with no other competition and could have a ski day without having to worry about another “strange form” of getting down the slopes.
However, in the late ’80s, slopes started seeing rapid change with the rise of the snowboard. Turf wars ensued at ski areas across the country. e snowboard craze eventually leveled out at the end of the 20th century, and it is now common to see skis and snowboards in almost equal numbers on a chairlift. Nearly 40 years after snowboards emerged onto the snowsports scene, a new method of cruising down the mountain has arrived, and a Breckenridge-based company — Aloud Snowskates — is trying to make snowskates the next biggest trend on the mountain.
Much as snowboards were rst met with confusion and opposition from skiers, snowskates currently have both skiers and snowboarders not quite knowing what to think of a skateboard-type deck — with no bindings — fastened to the top of a ski.
Former professional skateboarder and Summit resident Eddie Sixberry was inspired to start Aloud Snowskates after riding several other companies’ snowskates. Sixberry, 60, enjoyed the concept of hauling down a piece of wood while only being attached by a leash fastened around his waist, but did not enjoy the feel of the snowskates currently on the market.
“I started snowskating around 2009, like all the time,” Sixberry said. “ ere weren’t many available and there were only a handful of people doing it. I was a ski and ride instructor (at Breckenridge Ski Resort) and I was allowed to ride my skate in uniform. I didn’t like how the other skates performed. I started modifying stu .”
Sixberry ran into while riding other versions of snowskates is that the wooden top deck of the board would snap when he tried to land tricks o of terrain park jumps or natural side hits.
“I was breaking the tails on the jumps,” Sixberry said. “At the skatepark it is cool to break a board. You can walk to your car and leave, but if you break a board at the terrain park you have about a mile walk down. It sucked.”
As a result, Sixberry started designing a snowskate that was durable, strong, fun to ride on and could handle any terrain on the mountain. Sixberry designed a more durable board by changing the trucks of the board and partnering with Denver-based Folsom Custom Skis to provide a smooth-gliding ski for the subdeck.
Sixberry then assembled a crew consisting of his two sons — Andrew and Matt — along with other Summit County residents who all helped him o cially launch in 2019.
Each member of the “fun-having” and hardworking crew has their own role, with Eddie Sixberry being the main mastermind and fearless leader of the company, Andrew
designing the trucks of the snowskate, Rich Fisher of Rocky Mountain Tattoo Emporium designing the art of merchandise and skates, and both PJ Parkinson and Jim James (Eddie Sixberry’s roommate) serving as the media, sales and events organizers.
With each member of the team helping to make Aloud Snowskates the next big name in the snowsport market, the team now has six di erent snowskates for sale to the public.
Each board o ers riders a di erent experience, with some boards being geared towards fast and owy groomers while others are ideal for terrain park riding or moguls. Another aspect that makes Aloud Snowskates unique to skis and snowboards is that they are easily interchangeable to any rider with no prior tting or customization needed before barreling down the mountain.
One of the biggest obstacles Aloud is currently trying to navigate is making the public comfortable with seeing snowskates on the mountain.
“A lot of people haven’t even heard of snowskating until they see us,” Parkinson said. “ ey think we are on a snowboard because we are
Once introduced to what a snowskate even is, the Aloud crew is often then met with a fury of questions ranging from how does one ride and stay on one to how could you not injure yourself.
From the perspective of Sixberry and Parkinson — who both used to snowboard — snowskating does not di er much from its cousin, snowboarding. Snowskate users may not be fastened to the board via bindings or clips, but the grip tape on the top side of the board helps to keep riders attached to the board while the design of Aloud Snowskates’ skis allows them to carve almost identically to how one would on a snowboard.
“A lot of people who are used to snowboarding can just jump right on and start making turns,” Parkinson said. “Eddie is the rst person to make a snowskate that is that much like a snowboard.”
“When I got with Mike at Folsom, my main goal was to make these ride like a snowboard,” Sixberry said. “I wanted these to excel technologically so that it is allowed on mountains. So that it is recognized.”
Although falls can still happen on a snowskate, not being clipped in allows riders to slide out on their back or run o the board instead of crashing their knees into the snow and ice like on a snowboard.
Sixberry said once people can get over the initial fears associated with a snowskate, they often nd joy with experiencing their favorite mountain all over again.
“It makes it really exciting when you are on the blues and greens again learning,” Sixberry said. “It is reissuing the challenge.”
Over the past few years, Aloud Snowskates has started to make its presence known in Summit County, with products being seen on and o the mountain and sold at snowboard shops like Breckenridge’s Underground Snowboards.
Sixberry and Aloud have also branched out to Breckenridge Ski Area, hosting clinics for ski school instructors to learn how to safely ride a snowskate.
“We have done three clinics so far with the Breckenridge Ski School,”
Breckenridge operation aims to make its product the next big trend
the bill as their no. 2 priority on a list of 25 bills requiring one time payments. On that same list, the House ranked the bill 15th of 25.
e results are anonymous though, so it isn’t clear which House members didn’t vote to prioritize the camera bill, and why.
Lynch said Republicans don’t participate in the survey and aren’t given the results. Only Democrats received links to this year’s survey.
e results of the survey weren’t released to the public until almost a month after it was taken in response to an open records request .
Lynch says if he had known earlier that the cameras ranked at the bottom half of the House Democrats list of priorities, he would have fought harder to pass it.
“I think that that’s a pretty scary way of legislating,” he said of the anonymous bill ranking process.
Sixberry said. “ at kind of started because every time we rode past the ski school the whole class is looking. Now they can tell their students that I have ridden them and they are
“You know, when you start putting something into a calculation, you now have taken some of the human aspects…or the subjectivity out of there.”
Sen. Chris Hansen, D-Denver, introduced the secret bill ranking survey to the Capitol in 2019 as a way to help Democrats decide how to spend a limited budget. He told KUNC last year that bills that rank higher tend to get scheduled for votes earlier in the session.
“And the earlier something gets moved, the better chance it has of success,” he said. “If it gets held up or delayed, there’s always more risk.”
Some lawmakers have downplayed the in uence of the secret survey, saying it doesn’t determine what legislation lives or dies.
A KUNC analysis of the outcome of the bills included in the secret survey shows a pattern.
Bills with higher price tags that ranked at the bottom of the survey typically had funding removed, were voted down or left to die without a public vote more often than the bills
pretty cool. All we are trying to do is put the pieces of the circle together and make a bigger circle.”
Ultimately, Sixberry’s dream is to make snowskates the next common mode of transportation down the mountain, with Aloud being the go-to brand. Snowskates are currently allowed at several ski resorts in and near Summit County, but are
that ranked at the top of the survey.
Rep. Lynch says the Democrats’ survey process raises questions and could help explain why his push to buy wild re cameras suddenly died this year without a public vote.
“Especially a bill that (passed) unanimous out of the Senate,” he said. “ at kind of raises an eyebrow going, ‘wait a minute, where was the pushback on this?’”
Lawmakers did pass several other wild re-related bills this year, including a new military-grade re ghting helicopter and investments in ame-resistant building materials.
Rep. Junie Joseph, D-Boulder, co-sponsored the failed camera bill with Lynch.
She said it was unique because it was one of the only policies focused on preventing res from getting out of control.
“We know, for instance, the Marshall Fire actually spread pretty quickly,” she said. “Imagine if we had more of (the cameras)...Could we have gotten gotten to it quick,
not allowed at every ski resort in the country. Sixberry hopes to change that in the next few years.
“We are reliving it, ” Sixberry said, comparing their work with snowskates to the historic e orts to legitimize snowboarding on the slopes.
“And it is really exciting to me. We are just a bunch of homies trying to pull it o .”
much (more) quickly.”
Joseph says she’s committed to sponsoring the wild re camera bill again next year.
“I’m disappointed that community members do not have that extra tool or, you know, in their toolbox to help them when it comes to mitigating a wild re,” she said last week.
e wild re detection camera program would have cost $2 million, while the new re ghting helicopter lawmakers ordered will cost $26 million.
Some wild- re prone places aren’t waiting for the legislature to pay for the cameras. O cials in San Miguel County in southwestern Colorado announced they are installing four of them this year to scan for res.
e state forester’s o ce estimated in 2019 that 2.9 million Coloradans, or more than half the state’s population, lived in areas that are prone to wild re.

Greg Rau’s love for the game told him he would end up in basketball one way or the other. But he didn’t know it would bring him back to the same hardwood he practiced and played on as a kid. e former Brighton High School player is now the team’s head coach.
Rau played for four years for the Bulldogs until 2005. Since his graduation and college, he’s worked in skills development, youth camps, and other programs as an assistant or club basketball coach. He’s excited to now run the show at his former school.
“Being the head coach at my alma mater is huge for me,” Rau said. “To be able to grow a program from scratch and build a program based on culture and success is really what’s exciting for me. I’m looking forward to it.”
e past two years, Rau paced the sidelines at Horizon High School in ornton as the head assistant coach and JV coach. He also spearheaded the Colorado Anarchy — an AAU club basketball team for players ages 15 to 18 — for the past three years.
But the chance to build a high school program from the ground up was too good to pass up.
He becomes the Bulldogs third head coach in about as many years, but said he’d like to stick around awhile.
“It’s going to take time to learn these players from outside of who I know they were from club and scouting them last year,” he said. “Having them graduate eight seniors from last year’s team, it’s a whole restart. We’re going to have to grind and build the culture.”
Brighton went 8-15 last season, posting a 5-10 Front Range League record, according to MaxPreps, but Rau expects immediate improvement from his team.
My Q&A with Rau below: Did you always know you wanted to be a coach, even when you were playing at Brighton? I really love the game. Always have. I didn’t know I wanted to be a coach until college when it wasn’t in the cards to play college basketball. I had to do my own recruiting and it didn’t go too well based on a few di erent reasons.
But once I was able to work with kids and adults, and learn the game even more, I knew it was in my cards to coach.
What type of team are you envisioning in year one?
Year one, we’re going to be blue-collar and hard-working. I do see us having success in the Front Range League because of movement around that league as well. But the quicker they buy into the culture that me and my sta have, the quicker the success we’ll see.
What are some realistic expectations for your rst season?
My real expectation is to go 12-11, on the positive side of .500 based o of the work that our sta will put in for these boys to get there. If they buy into that culture then we’ll get that .500 record. Hopefully you know I’d like to get into the playo s, but being so young and small, it might be tough, especially with the amount of teams going in this year. But realistically, 12-11 is what I see.
How familiar are you with the team of returning players you’ll have?
We’re in our second week of workouts and open gyms. We’re going to be small and we’re going to be quick. I have some great guards that can get downhill and can go left and right hand downhill. We have some great shooters, so we’re going to have to spread the oor and attack hard in transition with those guys.
Why is Brighton a good place to build a program?
Because of the turnover. I love Brighton, and get to start fresh. I’ll be the third coach in three years, and prior to that was the COVID season. ere is no feeder team, so I’ll be able to build everything up my way, my culture that I foresee having. I’ve been around a lot of good programs and great coaches that have mentored me through this process and have ingrained this in me. I can start fresh and build a culture and build a program, and build it the right way. at’s the most important thing.
How would Greg Rau the player get along with Greg Rau the coach?
Man, it’s di erent times. Me as a player, I was stubborn and hardheaded. I did things my way, so I can understand why kids want to do that. But the senior Greg Rau player, he would understand me, because we have the greater goals of a team rather than individuality. So the senior Greg would buy in and believe because he would trust the process.

Colorado ranks third nationally when it comes to caring for its most vulnerable adults, according to a new UnitedHealthcare report.
e strong showing can largely be attributed to the state’s lower than average poverty rate for people aged 65 and older, and the choices people make every day.
Dr. Michael Stockman, market chief medical o cer for UnitedHealthcare, said Colorado seniors ranked rst in the U.S. for being physically active.
“And being physically active leads to lower risk of cardiovascular disease, cancer, diabetes and premature death,” Stockman outlined. “ e prevalence of obesity and chronic medical conditions for Colorado seniors is also some of the lowest in the nation.”
e biggest challenges facing Colorado seniors between 2019 and 2021 include the high cost of housing, a lack of investment in community support services, and a shortage of home health care workers.
e success is not shared evenly across the state. Older Coloradans living in southeastern counties experienced the greatest rates of social isolation, based on risk factors including poverty, marriage status and di culties involved with living independently.
Dr. Rhonda Randall, chief medical o cer of Employer and Individual for United Healthcare, said there has been an alarming increase in drug deaths across the U.S., mostly due to opioid overdoses. Colorado saw a

70% rise between 2019 and 2021.
“So that same troubling trend that we’re seeing across other populations in the United States is a ecting seniors too,” Randall explained. “A lot of people don’t think that seniors may be as a ected by substance use disorders and opioid use disorders, but they are.”
Randall added nutrition is very important as we age, and the report’s data showed seniors saw signi cant improvements in food security during the pandemic. More people who were eligible signed up for SNAP bene ts, the program formerly known as food stamps, and other services designed to deliver food to homes.
“Food insecurity decreased 6%,” Randall reported, noting fewer seniors are worried about getting access to nutritious food, more seniors got home-delivered meals, and more seniors got assistance with meals.

2023CW3055 CITY AND COUNTY OF AURORA, COLORADO, acting by and through its Utility Enterprise, 15151 E. Alameda Parkway, Suite 3600, Aurora, CO 80012- 1555, (303) 739-7370. Please direct all pleadings to Austin Hamre, Alyson Scott, and Teri Petitt, Hamre, Rodriguez, Ostrander, and Prescott, P.C., 188 Inverness Drive West, Suite 430, Englewood, Colorado 80112-5204, (303) 779-0200. APPLICATION FOR CHANGE OF WATER RIGHTS IN ADAMS AND DENVER COUNTY. 2. Introduction. Through this application Aurora seeks to change the well locations decreed for nontributary water in Case Nos. 83CW086, 83CW112, and 83CW121, District Court, Water Division 1, State of Colorado, in order to allow multiple wells to be located at suitable locations within certain lands generally described as Sections 2, 11, and 23, and portions of Sections 13, 14, 24, and 36, all in Township 3 South, Range 65 West of the 6th P.M in Adams and Denver Counties, as more specifically described and depicted in Exhibits A and B hereto (the “Subject Property”), subject to well separation requirements more fully described in paragraph 4.a., below. Aurora also seeks to modify the uses decreed for these water rights to include all uses currently made by the City. The original decrees entered by the Court in these matters contain provisions for a total of seven wells to be drilled at specific locations identified therein on the original applicant’s land. In 1996 the Court entered amended decrees in each matter which acknowledge the ownership of the rights to withdraw and use the Denver Basin groundwater underlying a portion of the land adjudicated in the original decree had transferred to the City and County of Denver, and another portion had been transferred to Aurora. The Court also confirmed the nontributary character of the water adjudicated in the original decrees. This application seeks to change only that portion of the previously adjudicated rights associated with the Subject Property, which are owned by Aurora. 3. Decreed Groundwater Rights For Which Changes Are Sought. 3.a. Case No. 83CW086. Decree entered by the Court on June 28, 1985, in Case No. 83CW086, District Court, Water Division 1, State of Colorado, as amended by the Court on August 21, 1996.
3.a.i. Decreed legal description. The legal description of the overlying lands in the original decree include the Subject Property as well as Section 3, additional portions of Section 24, and Section 25, all in Township 3 South, Range 65 West of the 6th P.M., totaling 4,350 acres. The Subject Property is 2,681 acres, or 61.64 percent of the total amount of the overlying lands that are subject of the decree entered in Case No. 83CW086, District Court, Water Division 1, State of Colorado. 3.a.ii. Decreed source of water. Nontributary groundwater from the Denver aquifer. 3.a.iii. Decreed amount. 1,031 acre-feet per year. Aurora’s 61.64 percent of the decreed amount is 635.5 acre-feet per year.3.a.iv. Appropriation date. Not applicable.3.a.v. Decreed uses. The waters of the Denver formation that are subject of the appropriation claimed herein will be used, and Denver and the Applicant shall each respectively have the right of succession uses pursuant to C.R.S. § 37-82-106(2), for municipal, domestic, agricultural, commercial, irrigation, stock watering, recreation, fish and wildlife, and fire protection within the South Platte River drainage in Water Division No. 1. The waters may be used through immediate application to beneficial use, for storage and subsequent application to beneficial use, for substitution or exchange purposes, for replacement of depletions resulting from use of water from other sources, for augmentation purposes, and for reuse and right of disposition.3.b. Case No. 83CW112. Decree entered by the Court on June 18, 1985, in Case No. 83CW112, District Court, Water Division 1, State of Colorado, as amended by the Court on August 21, 1996.3.b.i. Decreed legal description See paragraph 3.a.i. above in this Application. 3.b.ii. Decreed source of water. Nontributary groundwater from the Arapahoe aquifer. 3.b.iii. Decreed amount. 1,597 acre-feet per year. Aurora’s 61.64 percent of the decreed amount is 984.4 acre-feet per year.3.b.iv. Appropriation date. Not applicable.3.b.v. Decreed uses. See paragraph 3.a.v. above in this Application.3.c. Case No. 83CW121. Decree entered by the Court on June 18, 1985, in Case No. 83CW121, District Court, Water Division 1, State of Colorado, as amended by the Court on August 21, 1996. 3.c.i. Decreed legal description. See paragraph 3.a.i. above in this Application. 3.c.ii. Decreed source of water. Nontributary groundwater from the Laramie-Fox Hills aquifer. 3.c.iii. Decreed amount. 966 acre-feet per year. Aurora’s 61.64 percent of the decreed amount is 595.4 acre-feet per year. 3.c.iv. Appropriation date. Not applicable. 3.c.v. Decreed uses. See paragraph 3.a.v. above in this Application. 3.d. The decrees described in paragraphs 3.a., 3.b., and 3.c. above in this Application are collectively referred to as the “Subject Decrees.” 4. Request for Change in Points of Diversion of Nontributary Water Rights. 4.a.Applicant seeks the right to locate future wells for the withdrawal of the groundwater decreed pursuant to its changed portion of Subject Decrees at any suitable location on the Subject Property, so long as the wells are located at least 600 feet away from any other existing well in the same aquifer owned by another person or entity unless the State Engineer finds, pursuant to C.R.S. § 37-90-137(2)(b)(II), that such 600 foot spacing is not necessary in a particular circumstance. The Applicant waives the 600-foot spacing requirement of C.R.S. § 3790-137(2) on the Subject Property for future wells constructed by Applicant. 4.b. Parcel Ownership. The right to withdraw and use the Denver Basin groundwater underlying the Subject Property was conveyed to Aurora by deed from Box Elder Investment Company, the applicant in the original adjudications described above. 5. Request for Change of Uses. The Applicant seeks to revise the uses described in the Subject Decrees to conform with its current uses of water by the City. Applicant seeks to revise the stated uses to the following: Municipal, domestic, agricultural, energy production, manufacturing, mechanical and industrial purposes, fire protection, irrigation, commercial, recreation, fish and wildlife propagation, on-site recharge, reservoir evaporation replacement, creation and maintenance of wetlands, maintenance of storage reserves, stock watering, reclamation, revegetation, dust suppression, water treatment and supply, wastewater treatment, storage for such uses, and use as a supply or substitute supply for augmentation, return flow replacement (by direct release or by recharge), replacement, exchanges, and substitute supply plans. All uses include reuse and successive reuse to extinction and storage after initial and subsequent uses for the above purposes, or disposition of effluent for the above purposes.
6. Names and addresses of owners or reputed owners of the land upon which any new diversion structure, or modification to any existing diversion structures, is or will be constructed. The current surface owners, or reputed surface owners, of the Subject Property are listed below in the table. Aurora has not yet determined the locations of the wells needed to withdraw the groundwater to which it is entitled. Aurora acknowledges that it may utilize the land surface owned by others for wells and related structures necessary to withdraw and use water pursuant to the rights being changed herein only to the extent that it has acquired the rights to do so from the surface owners either by purchase, by exercise of the power of eminent domain, or by other lawful means.
