State courts strike down unlimited time for abuse claims

Legislature had hoped to extend statute of limitations for victims

BY JESSE PAUL AND ELLIOTT WENZLER THE COLORADO SUN

When a group of Colorado lawmakers in 2020 sought to end the state’s statute of limitations for lawsuits in child sex assault cases, some victims and victims’ advocates wanted them to try to go even further.

eir request was that Colorado give victims of abuse for whom the statute of limitations had expired a window to sue not only their abusers, but also organizations that shielded the perpetrators or negligently allowed the abuse to continue.

e front door at a house o ornton’s 118t2h Avenue has three signs.

On top is a woodcut that displays the name “Namazi” proudly. Directly underneath are two campaign signs. One signals support for City Council candidate Roberta

Namazi is better known by another name, Danny Kulmann, in political circles and on social media. It turns out that’s the same last name as Mayor Jan Kulmann, though he’s not related. And, it seems like an odd coincidence coming from the man behind the door that has a sign supporting Kulmann’s adversary in the mayor’s race.

Kulmann, for her part, is concerned about it and alleges that Namazi is trying to hurt her political image and that sometimes Namazi’s actions have left her feeling scared.

Namazi has made himself seen at events around town – and in the garb of a pro-MAGA supporter, acting like the mayor’s biggest fan. He touts former President Trump’s “Make America Great Again” and his Danny Kulmann name as he shadows Mayor Kulmann on the campaign trail seeking reelection to what would be a nal term in the o ce.

e nonpartisan O ce of Legislative Legal Services, which o ers state lawmakers legal advice, said such a window would violate the state’s constitution, which prohibits the General Assembly from reviving a claim for which the statute of limitations has run out. It turns out that opinion held merit.

e Colorado Supreme Court last week struck down the part of Senate Bill 88, a law passed by the legislature in 2021, giving victims of child sex abuse dating back to the 1960s a threeyear window starting on Jan. 1, 2022, to le lawsuits against their abusers and the institutions or organizations that failed to stop the abuse. e high court’s decision was unanimous.

Thornton political activist Dan Namazi, who identifies in public as Danny Kulmann, waves a sign at Adams County’s Pride festival June 10. The activist attends public events and meetings in an e ort to draw attention Mayor Jan Kulmann, but Kulmann said she’s not flattered by his attention.

GOCO $350K grant goes to the High Line Canal preservation work

E orts to protect the High Line Canal as a regional open space picked up a $350,000 grant from Great Outdoors Colorado.

e grant is part of GOCO’s Land Acquisition program, which supports urban and rural landscape, waterway, and habitat protection priorities and improves access to the outdoors.

High Line Canal is a 71-mile, 860acre corridor provides valuable recreation access for the Denver-metro region. It winds through some of its most diverse communities, connecting neighbors to schools, community centers, and more than 8,000 acres of parks and open spaces. e canal spans communities in Denver, Douglas, Adams, and Arapahoe Counties, passing through a diversity of Front Range ecosystems along the way.

e High Line Canal is in a time of transition as its owner, Denver Water, reduces its reliance on the Canal for irrigation delivery. e High Line Canal Conservancy is planning for its future as a recreational, ecological, historical, and stormwater resource.

Westminster homelessness e orts a steady but slow process

BY LUKE ZARZECKI LZARZECKI@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

e goal for Kate Skarbek, a homeless navigator for Westminster, is to get people into housing. But it’s not so simple, and this time of year proves busier than the colder months.

During the summer months, she sees an increase in homelessness compared to the winter since it’s warmer and there aren’t emergency shelter beds during the cold nights.  “ e work is being done, it is just slower going than we’d like it,” she said.

Homelessness in Westminster has proved to be a big issue. Multiple people at city council meetings speak during the public comment period and at Town Hall meetings, asking the city council to do something,

“ ere’s got to be something that happens,” said Zach Taylor from Westminster’s Art District.

Taylor said he owns a business in front of Dry Creek and often sees people experiencing homelessness in front of his building. He’s pleaded with members of the city council to do something.

Mayor Pro Tem David DeMott emphasized that things are being done — but law and order take time.

City Councilor Obi Ezeadi said that

addressing homelessness comes from the roots, and compared it to a garden.

Sta ’s e orts

According to City spokesperson Andy Le, the city provides services to individuals to help them nd and get housing, services like transportation, rental assistance, legal services, case management, healthcare and more.

Before Skarbeck and her team can house someone, other steps like getting a birth certi cate, other documentation that may have been lost, getting treatment, or meeting other goals come rst.

It’s a long process and can take anywhere between six and eight

months to get someone housed, she said.

Getting a housing voucher for government programs takes about four months for most, but less time for veterans. Sometimes it proves longer because a relationship needs to be established.

“ ey’re not going to necessarily trust the navigator right o the bat,” Skarbek said.

e navigators also aim to make sure their clients are getting the federal bene ts they qualify for, such as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program funds for food or Medicaid for health issues.

“Sometimes it’s life skills. Maybe someone has never before been on a lease. If it’s someone who has aged out of the foster care system, for instance, they aged out at the magic age of 18 without knowing how it works to lease an apartment or to own a home, and so helping them gure out what that looks like,” she said.

Largest contributing factor

Skarbeck said that nancial issues are the largest cause of homelessness.

“If a couple is together and they cannot a ord housing on their own, if neither one of them makes more than $30 an hour, they do not qualify for a single-bedroom apartment in

the Denver Metro area,” she said.

And because of that, domestic violence also comes into play. If someone in a relationship can’t nancially support themselves on their own but the relationship has deteriorated, they may be forced to stay with that person.

“ en as the relationship and the stresses of that (relationship) deteriorate further then there are typically high levels of domestic violence,” she said.

She said inverse relationships to multiple problems come into play.

Skarbeck said that drug use, despite public perception, seldom leads to homelessness. However, homelessness does lead to drug use.

e same is true for mental health.

She pointed to how mental health issues have risen among people since the COVID-19 pandemic, but the same isn’t true for homelessness.

“If all of those people experienced homelessness as a result of mental health, we would have a much higher rate of homelessness in this country,” she said.

Skarbeck said caseworkers tell her their clients come to them prior to becoming homeless without showing any signs of mental illness. But once that person becomes homeless, signs of mental illness become

Kulmann won’t try for CD-8 nomination in 2024

ornton’s Mayor Jan Kulmann will not be running for the Republican seat in the 2024 Congressional District 8 race.

“I am not doing it because I am not a partisan politician.

at is the lesson I learned running for Congress,” Kulmann said.

Kulmann, who has served on ornton’s council since 2013 as both mayor and councilor, ran for the CD-8 Republican primary in 2022. She lost to State Senator Barbara Kirkmeyer from Weld County.

Kirkmeyer lost to now Representative Yadira Caraveo by 1,632 votes, or 0.69%.

Kulmann, who is running for reelection as mayor in the 2023 ornton election, said she was hoping to bring nonpartisan politics to Congress.

“I thought being a mayor, I could bring non-partisan politics to Congress and I was wrong. Nobody wants that. ey wanted a show and that’s not who I am. So I enjoy being the mayor because it has not been partisan,” she said.

homeless,” she said.

A root cause she sees is the cost of housing compared to wages. For the past 40 to 50 years, she said, wages haven’t kept up with housing costs.

“Even if we do have enough units at any one time for everybody, the simple fact is that housing costs have risen for many people by more than 50 to 100%, depending upon how much they were paying in

2012,” she said.

The good news ere have been many solutions for homelessness o ered.

It could be tiny homes as transitional housing, starter homes that are built in a more a ordable way or places where people can age in place.

“We need to recognize that not everybody needs a yard,” she said. “...we

certainly have the ability to shift what housing needs to look like to have housing available for everybody.”

Skarbeck believes there is a possibility for everyone to be in a home. She said that while she may work with someone who initially says they don’t want a home, they eventually do.

at’s because the longer someone has been without housing, the more support they need because they’ve

gotten used to living outdoors.

“Helping support them as they make that huge transition. And you might think it would be an easy one, but we get used to what we get used to and going to a whole new lifestyle, it’s not necessarily an easy adjustment,” she said.

For the navigators to be able to do their job more and be more e ective, they need more people, she said.

Adams County award $9 million in open space grants

BY STAFF REPORT SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA

Adams County Board of Commissioners announced awards of more than $9 million in open space grants for 21 projects June 27.

Funding for the spring 2023 grant cycle came from revenues from the second half of the 2022 Adams County Open Space Sales Tax, which was passed by Adams County voters in 1999, and in perpetuity in 2020.

Strasburg Wolf Creek Run Athletic Fields Renovation, $442,250

BY TEDDY JACOBSEN TJACOBSEN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

e High Line Canal, which winds 71 miles across the metro area, will soon be permanently protected as regional open space.

Great Outdoors Colorado, an environmental nonpro t, announced in June a $350,000 grant to High Line Canal Conservancy to help permanently protect the canal as a continuous recreational, ecological, historical and stormwater resource.

“Permanent protection of the canal has been a top-line goal of our board and organization since the beginning in 2014,” High Line Canal Conservancy CEO Harriet Crittenden LaMair said in a press release. “It’s extremely exciting to be actively working with Denver Water, Arapahoe County and other local governmental partners toward a permanent protection vehicle.”

e canal spans 860 acres and its associated trail system connects walkers, hikers, runners, cyclists, horseback riders and others to thousands more acres of parks and open spaces. e canal runs through parts of Adams, Arapahoe, Denver and Douglas counties, spanning a solid slice of eastern metro area from north to south.

“It’s important for the community to know that the canal is preserved permanently for them to use freely into the future,” High Line Canal Conservancy Senior Director of Programs and

Partnerships Suzanna Fry Jones told Colorado Community Media. Jones said Denver Water will maintain ownership of the canal, but has been moving its customers to more sustainable sources of irrigation water in recent years.

Denver Water Senior Community Relations Specialist Jimmy Luthye said they plan to play an active role in the ongoing discussions about the canal’s future.

“ e evolution of the public’s use of the canal for recreation and stormwater management, along with its original role as a water delivery method is one of the reasons why Denver Water and regional partners, including cities, counties, park and ood districts and stormwater management entities, have partnered with the High Line Canal Conservancy to assist their mission to preserve, protect and enhance the 71mile canal,” Luthye said in an email to Colorado Community Media. e conservancy is expected to complete legal work to secure protection, gather documentation of the present conditions of the canal and assess potential future projects with the grant.

Great Outdoors Colorado’s Director of Programs Chris Yuan-Farrell said the process will likely involve a conservation easement, which is a legal agreement that limits land use to protect its conservation values. Yuan-Farrell

Jones said more details about the canal’s function as a fully conserved space are expected to come this fall.

Namazi sometimes wears a bright red MAGA cap and a shirt with Mayor Kulmann’s picture on it, loudly proclaiming his devotion for the mayor and the conservative issues he claims she represents – antitrans, anti-LGBTQ and unregulated oil drilling are at the top policy goals on Namazi’s list.

For instance, he appeared at Adams County Pride, ornton Pride and Arts in the Park with signs saying, “Keep ornton Straight” and “Reelect Mayor Jan Kulmann.” But Kulmann says it is bizarre political theater and Namazi and his signs have nothing to do with her views or her campaign. She sees Namazi’s actions as a ploy to stoke confusion and negative reactions to her conservative, but nuanced, positions on numerous issues.

“He doesn’t speak for me, he doesn’t represent me or my values, and in fact works with my political opponent,” Kulmann alleged of Namazi on her campaign Facebook account. “His demeanor and theatrics continue to turn aggressive to the point that I don’t feel comfortable bringing my daughter to city events.”

Marvin, Kulmann’s opponent, told the Northglenn- ornton Sentinel, that Kulmann’s allegation is o base and that Namazi isn’t part of her campaign.

And Kulmann told the Sentinel that she felt unsafe at a recent public event when she asked Namazi to back away from her but he stood his ground.

“If a normal person was talking to you in whatever way they are and you ask them to stop, they will back o ,” she said.

In a video, a police o cer tells Namazi to back away from Kulmann, but he declines.

“If a police o cer says ‘you’re getting too close,’ you back o ,” Kulmann said. “He escalates the behavior each time.”

Kulmann is so concerned for herself and her children that she has pursued, and subsequently received, a restraining order against Namazi.

According to Ti any Coolidge, campaign manager for Kulmann, Namazi was served a temporary restraining order by the Adams County Sheri ’s O ce on June 22. e order alleges that Namazi shouted at and interrupted her, misrepresented her political views and has not left her alone even though she has asked.

e order by a county judge states that Namazi will stay at least ve yards away from Kulmann and includes stipulations that Namazi will not stalk, harass or threaten her.

e order could be made permanent or dismissed at a July 5 hearing.

Kulmann rst noticed Namazi at orntonfest, which was on June 3. en she saw him popping up at other events in a way she alleges is harassing.

“When he saw me (at ornton Pride) as I was getting ready to leave, he chased me out into the parking lot into my car and said, ‘We don’t even want you here,’” Kulmann alleged. “But of course nobody’s around to hear it and he’s not lming it.”

Bedolla, Garcia and Sandgren

Other members of the City Council raise concerns about Namazi’s activities at events and say they’ve experienced similar incidents.

City Councilor Eric Garcia, Mayor Pro-Tem Jessica Sandgren and council candidate Angie Bedolla fear Namazi might be misrepresenting their views and stated that he doesn’t speak for them.

“It’s all nonsense,” Garcia said. “He doesn’t represent me, he doesn’t represent my views. He doesn’t represent anything at all. To me, it looks like just a big huge act.”

Garcia said he witnessed Namazi follow Kulmann when he was with Kulmann and that he stepped in between them out of concern. He also said Namazi has called his personal cell phone.

Sandgren became fearful over his actions, including from a Facebook post in which Namazi wrote: “Jessica Sandgren, ornton Mayor Pro Tem walking serenely through a eld with a ray of sunshine overhead is truly a piece of art. I’ve stared at this photo for hours now, but I keep nding more meaning in it. She is honestly an inspiration, just like Jan Kulmann, Mayor of ornton.”

Sandgren saw it as creepy and harassing.

“I get we’re elected o cials and there’s a certain level of access people have to us,” Sandgren said. “But as a woman, I’m not comfortable with what is going on.”

Bedolla alleged that Namazi harassed her in front of her two daughters.

“I did not feel safe at all and I also did not feel that my daughters were very safe,” Bedolla said.

e council members say their views are more nuanced and complex than Namazi represents them as. For instance, Bedolla voted with Sandgren and Kulmann in 2021 against raising the pride ag in ornton. Bedolla said she supports the LGBTQ community, but a vote to allow the raising of any one ag “opens Pandora’s box” for other ags to be own.

Kulmann also voted against it, but she said it was because of the procedure of voting on the item, not the item itself. Since there wasn’t consensus to bring the item forward during the planning session, that was against procedure.

“I even said in the moment ‘I’m really glad this passed. I support it 100%.’ I don’t support votes on the oor where we have not had a consensus agreement about it,” she said.

Sandgren said she faults the way

the issue came about and it didn’t give the community a away to give their feedback.

Kulmann campaign manager

Coolidge, who also manages Bedolla’s and Garcia’s campaigns, alleges that Namazi is working for other candidates in ornton. Coolidge has called on Ward 2 candidate Ayala and Marvin to disavow Namazi. Videos show Namazi door knocking and passing out Ayala iers.

But Ayala claims Namazi isn’t working or volunteering for her campaign.

“De nitely wouldn’t have a MAGA person doing that on my campaign,” Ayala said.

After being told of videos of Namazi going door to door with Ayala’s campaign iers, she said that he may have been involved before he started acting as Danny Kulmann. Ayala said to her knowledge that he isn’t currently involved with her campaign.

“I have nothing to do with it,” Ayala said. “I don’t know that it’s necessarily harassment. It’s something that he’s doing though, and I don’t have anything to do with it.”

However, Namazi’s wife is a volunteer for the campaign, Ayala conrmed. She has a pet pig that also attends Ayala’s campaign events as an uno cial campaign mascot. Coolidge’s questions linger, though, given other moments involving Namazi, like a photo of Ayala’s campaign Facebook account dated April 15 with Namazi sitting at the same table as Ayala.

As for Namazi, he denied that he is an Ayala supporter.

When asked if Namazi’s actions are wrong, prior to the restraining order meant to keep him away from Kulmann, Ayala said, “He’s not breaking any laws.” When asked, given that Kulmann sees Namazi actions as harassment, if it’s OK, she said uncomfortable moments come

with running a campaign.

“I think that when we decide to run for o ce, there are going to be people that have opinions of our viewpoints, whether they be for or against us and that’s part of running for o ce is that we have to face those challenges of working with the community,” Ayala said.

She added a caveat: “I would disavow anything illegal that anybody’s doing. If there is evidence of harassment I would disavow that.”

e concerns have also led Councilor Marvin to say that neither Namazi nor his wife are a liated with her reelection campaign in any way. She said she’s only talked with the couple at public events in the past.

“As I’ve continued to say, over and over, these people are not associated with my campaign,” Marvin said. “I’m not paying them. ey’re not volunteering for my campaign. ey don’t have anything to do with it.”

Marvin said the situation is a symptom of a bigger issue – that the council is viewed as nonpartisan yet members of the council have ideological views.

Marvin said some council watchers for years have been “frustrated with candidates who sort of hide behind the nonpartisan piece of things and won’t openly speak about their positions on things.”

Marvin did not answer the question of whether Namazi’s actions are fair in an interview. e following day, Marvin followed up with an emailed statement.

“I believe that political discourse is healthy and an important part of the process, and as elected o cials people can and should have a wide latitude on how they can engage with us,” she wrote. “However, I don’t agree with anyone using tactics that make candidates or elected o cials feel unsafe. And I can empathize with that feeling, having been in situations myself where people have followed me, and I found that stressful and intimidating.”

Marvin also pointed to the fact that the city council changed the rules for campaigning within city events in 2019, which allowed for candidates to campaign at city events.

Kulmann has been on ornton’s council since 2013 and Marvin since 2019. e time Marvin spent on council leads her to believe Kulmann is far-right, and that Kulmann’s views during the Congressional District 8 race align with those views. One view, Marvin pointed to, was that Kulmann wouldn’t say whether or not the election was stolen.

But according to a Colorado Sun article from June 2022 amidst the campaign for the CD-8 seat, Kulmann did con rm that President Joe Biden won the election and said she was “...running to take back the House and put a stop on his radical

agenda that continues to hurt working families across the country.”

Political theater in Thornton

In an interview with the Sentinel, Namazi insists he is not acting. He also has a story as to why he prefers to be called “Danny Kulmann”.

Namazi said he grew up in Texas and received a lot of hate for his Iranian last name after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. He chose Dan before he went to college, but said he chose Kulmann as his “authentic self” to ornton’s community.

Now, much of his act plays out on Facebook where he posts videos of himself posed with City Councilors and Kulmann’s other supporters.

A 2016 graduate of Baylor University, Namazi moved to Colorado soon after and he and his wife purchased a house in ornton in 2017.

Namazi led papers with the Colorado Secretary of State in 2017 for a run for Colorado state Senate District 24 – as a Democrat.

But in public, he maintains his MAGA persona, pledging his support for former President Trump, his GOP opponent Ron DeSantis and conservative icons like Ben Shapiro. He alleged that it is obvious that Kulmann supports MAGA candidates like DeSantis based on her social media and her voting record.

“ at is the only presidential candidate she follows on social media and so I don’t think it takes a lot for a patriot like me to read between the lines of what she thinks,” Namazi said.

He pointed to views of DeSantis that he links with her that he agrees with.

“Ron says that he’s going to exterminate trans ideology,” Namazi said. “I very strongly support that. I know Jan supports that. She voted against her pride events. She voted to make sure that sort of indoctrination is now brought here to Colorado.”

Posters on Colorado Pols, a progressive online bulletin board and discussion site, seemed initially confused, trading snark with Namazi until one poster said what Namazi appears to be doing is “...doing vaudevillian political theater. Maybe that’s all this is… the spasmodic antics of someone who wants attention, and doesn’t care whose candidacies he hurts in the process.”

Far right, or middle of the road

As for Kulmann, she said she identi es as a middle of the road conservative – both scally conservative and socially liberal. Coolidge said her past congressional campaign spoke for itself. Kulmann learned her views weren’t partisan enough to win, which she sees as the reason she lost the Republican primary.

“I lost the primary because the primary is a very partisan race,” Kulmann said.

Further, in e Colorado Sun article published in June of 2022, it lays out other issues she and other Republican primary candidates for

LEGISLATURE

ere were many concerns about the constitutionality of Senate Bill 88 as it was debated in the legislature, but the measure’s sponsors took the rare step of proceeding anyway, saying the severity of the crime demanded it. Dozens of pending or soon-to-be- led cases were unraveled by the Supreme Court’s ruling.

“We knew that there would be a challenge to this law because the opponents of the measure made it clear they intended to sue,” said Sen. Jessie Danielson, a Wheat Ridge Democrat and prime sponsor of the bill. “We still had the obligation to do the right thing and try to stand up for the people who were abused as e opponents included public schools and the Catholic Church, who warned that Senate Bill 88 posed a major nancial burden because of the legal costs stemming from how many lawsuits they would have to defend against. ey also argued the measure was plainly

Rep. Dafna Michaelson Jenet, a Commerce City Democrat and another lead sponsor of Senate Bill 88, said there were always concerns a court would toss out the policy. “It’s disappointing that it came out this way. However, clearly the way the vote went — 7-0 — they absolutely feel it is unconstitutional.”

Several other states, including New York, New Jersey, North Carolina and California, have passed laws giving victims of child sex assault from decades past a window to sue.

e measures were inspired by the worldwide Catholic Church abuse scandal and the fact that survivors often wait decades before they reveal their victimization, including a man pro led by e Colorado Sun in 2020 who waited more than three decades to tell his family that he had been abused as a child by a priest who was a constant gure in their lives. e push to create a so-called look-back window in Colorado was so erce that it led to the demise in 2020 of a measure that would have ended Colorado’s statute of limitations for lawsuits solely in future child sexual assault cases or in cases where the statute of limitations hadn’t already run out. e sponsor of that legislation, Sen. Julie Gonzales, D-Denver, killed the measure in a dramatic committee hearing because she said it didn’t do enough to help victims of child sex abuse in decades past.

“I’m not willing to pass a bill that lets perpetrators o the hook,” Gonzales said at the time. “I will not settle for watered-down justice. I believe we have to do better. All victims of sexual assault deserve to see their abusers held accountable.”

Proponents split the two proposals into two measures in 2021, and Senate Bill 73, eliminating the statute of limitations, passed and was signed into law. ( e statute of limitations gave child sex abuse survivors six years after they turned 18 to le a legal action.)

Senate Bill 88 tried to get around the constitutional prohibition on reviving a claim for which the statute of limitations has run out by creating an entirely new civil cause of action.

Kulmann also voted for a 10-well fracking site in ornton that was 1.5 miles south of Stargate Charter School and .5 miles south of Little Lights Christian Early Learning Center.

Even if the council didn’t approve those sites, they would’ve been approved through a di erent route of authorization, according to city sta . rough the City Council process, the company was held to higher standards.

Colorado already seeing ‘serious’ ozone violations in 2023, watchdogs say

BY MICHAEL BOOTH THE COLORADO SUN

Colorado’s Front Range has already recorded violations of federal ozone caps for 2023 that put the state into the “serious” pollution infraction category, and regulators should voluntarily call for EPA sanctions in order to speed up healthprotecting xes, environmental watchdogs said.

Readings at public ozone monitors show that the nine-county Front Range nonattainment area, already under EPA jurisdiction for past violations, has blown past the numbers that will trigger the EPA to move Colorado from the “moderate” to “severe” category for breaching 2015 standards. Admitting it now would speed up EPA-mandated corrections such as tighter controls on oil and gas drilling and other pollution permits, clean air advocates said.

Other major U.S. cities that were in similar ozone violations have since come into compliance and been declared in attainment of the tighter 2015 standard, said Robert Ukeiley, a Denver air pollution attorney with the Center for Biological Diversity.

“It’s pretty sad when Denver is more polluted than places like Detroit, Pittsburgh, Cincinnati and Atlanta, all to protect the short-term pro ts of the big oil companies which make up a very small percentage of Colorado’s economy,” Ukeiley said.

Colorado air pollution regulators responded they are “evaluating” the idea of asking the EPA for a voluntary reclassi cation before the federal agency’s rules require a reevaluation of nonattainment in 2024.

Meanwhile, said Air Pollution Control Division spokesperson Leah Schleifer, “we aren’t waiting for a potential U.S. EPA reclassi cation as we move forward with actions to reduce ground-level ozone pollution. Colorado is taking bold and meaningful steps right now.”

ose steps, the division said, include acting on Gov. Jared Polis’ recent directive to reduce nitrogen oxide releases from oil and gas production, and implementing new clean truck and car rules to speed replacement of fossil fuels with lower emissions electric motors.

ose assurances are not meaningful, Ukeiley responded, after years of the division and the Air Quality Control Commission moving slowly on new pollution rules and delaying EPA enforcement. e EPA has repeatedly downgraded the northern Front Range ozone problem under both 2008 caps of 75 parts per billion and the tighter 2015 cap of 70 parts per billion.

“As a general rule, reasonable people don’t believe a six-time loser when they say they are trying really hard not to fail a seventh time,” Ukeiley said. “If they were actually working hard to protect air quality

for all Coloradans, they would have already submitted their voluntary downgrade request to EPA.”

e EPA uses three-year averaging in evaluating whether a pollutiontroubled area is getting better or worse in attainment of the agency’s ambient air standards. Groundlevel ozone is a threat to lung and heart health, and some scientists are recommending a further tightening of the standards below the 2015 cap of 70 ppb.

Ozone is caused by a combination of nitrogen oxides, volatile organic compounds, intense summer sunshine, wild re smoke and other factors, including natural background sources and industrial pollution drifting from out of state.

Regulators disregard the highest readings and set their sights on benchmarks such as the fourthhighest readings of the year in order to throw out anomalies. To avoid a downgrade in the current three-year cycle of 2021-23, Colorado monitors would have had to stay below the upper 40s in parts per billion in 2023. Readings at key monitors spiked to 89 ppb in 2021, and 78 ppb in 2022.

e relevant readings at a monitor near Chat eld Reservoir reached 70 by late May of this year, and 67 at the National Renewable Energy Lab in Golden. ose put the threeyear averages at 79 at Chat eld, for example, and 77 at NREL, the Center for Biological Diversity said.

State regulators do not dispute those calculations. e health department “takes ground-level ozone pollution seriously,” Schleifer said, in a written statement.

One of the primary impacts of a downgrade in the attainment classication is a broadening of pollution sources that must go through the state permitting process. Regulators can demand changes in process or equipment that could reduce pollution before issuing a permit, and permits can ratchet down allowed pollution over time.

In 2022, the EPA downgraded the nine-county area under the looser 2008 ozone standard from “serious” to “severe.” e federal agency said at the time that under “severe,” requirements include the use of reformulated gasoline in summer months and a reduction of the threshold requiring control measures on emissions sources from 50 tons per year to 25 tons per year.

Each reclassi cation puts another strain on state regulation as well. Colorado o cials said at the time of the “severe” reclassi cation it would require for 473 more sources of pollution that contribute to ozone, as the threshold dropped to include all those emitting 25 tons or more.

Recent legal actions by environmental groups forced the addition of pollution sources in northern Weld County, home to much of the oil and gas drilling and production activ-

nonattainment area. Previously, only the southern portion of Weld County was included in the stricter permitting regime.

Taking action now would put far more northern Weld County operations under the “serious” 2015 standards. After asking the EPA for another downgrade, Colorado could take other actions such as demanding a “pause” to oil and gas operations on bad air days, much as the state asks individuals to limit driving, get car emissions tests, or avoid outdoor activity, Ukeiley said.

e state could also limit the use of the natural gas- red Cherokee Generating Station north of downtown Denver on high pollution days.

Colorado o cials often argue against swift air pollution action

long time to acquire and install new equipment. Admitting to another ozone downgrade now rather than waiting would give those o cials and companies longer lead time to make changes, Ukeiley said.

“We know it’s all inevitable that we’re going to get downgraded,” he said. “ e state might as well admit that and move forward with the process. And use the process to come up with the most protective e ective measures to reduce our pollution.”

Are we better o today as a nation and as individual citizens than say decades ago? I clearly believe this to be true.

WINNING

My laughing at myself moment came the other day while I was traveling. I had boarded my flight and was checking my email on my phone before we took off. As I tried loading my email app, it took about 8 seconds. And in those 8 seconds I became frustrated and thought why is this taking so long? Cue the laughing at myself. Each year as technology advances our need for speed seems to advance with it. We want information and we want it now. We not only want it now, but we also expect the information to be fed to us before we even have to think about it, we train the technology to understand what we like and want before we ever even have to search for it, we simply turn

In a recent meeting with a partner, they were discussing how their technology could serve up information in real time, measuring response times in milliseconds. Again, we have become a culture that has a need for speed, instant gratification.

As I came across a snail the other day, I watched it move slowly across the pavement. And I found myself fascinated by the slow and deliberate pace of the snail. I know it is a snail and snails aren’t equipped to move any faster, so they have to settle for the slow pace at which they move. It took the snail five minute or so to cross the pavement and move into the grass. Just five minutes, which for us could now feel like an eternity. So in that moment I reflected on my own need for speed. Although I can’t slow down advancements in technology that are designed to speed things up, nor can I or should I worry about others and their need for speed, I can decide when it’s time to slow things down for myself. Can my walks along the shoreline be a little slower so I can appreciate the sounds of the

Can my hikes in the mountains be slowed down just a bit so I can take in the wildflowers, watch the streams rushing down the mountainside, or look out at the amazing vistas from the openings through the trees? We are definitely a society on the go. We want the speed limits to be higher, our flights to get us to our destination faster. We want our meals delivered to our homes or tables in unreasonably fast times. We expect the elevator to show up as soon as we press the button. It’s the pace of the race these days that we are trying to keep up with and the pace is getting quicker and quicker each day. I thought about the snail again. And as I did, I was reminded that moving at a snail’s pace is okay sometimes. I enjoy a slow brewing pot of coffee as it fills the kitchen with that beautiful coffee aroma.

I am sharing my decision to run for a position on City Council in the November 2023 election.

In spite of my disappointment with City Council’s inability to serve the people, Westminster needs smart, tough, transparent Councilors that are dedicated to sustaining our suburban city.

After the November 2021 Election I was convinced that the new Council would meaningfully lower water rates. I had hoped we would leave the irrevocable path towards high-density housing. I thought we would trim our bloated city government. Our Council has temporarily lowered water rates but is planning for constant increases. The gains we made towards lower density can be changed in an instant by a new Council.

Frustratingly, our new Council continued the reckless path of the past Councils. Westminster is on a path to huge debt, a more crowded city and always outrageous water rates. My question to why other municipalities can sell water for $3 and $4 per thousand gallons while we charge $6.78 has never been answered.

Our new Council is impotent because the elected City Council of SEE LETTERS, P39

Americans are addicted with their guns. Guns have become pervasive even with teenagers and are used in the “heat of the moment” way too often. We have lost our way with guns.

Regarding work ethic and everyone pulling their weight in the big scheme of things, too many Americans rely on government subsidies and welfare. ose who can work should work. What happened to the belief of Americans working hard and supporting themselves?

Other parts of our “condition”

ere is far too much of an attitude especially among younger people who personify “it’s all about me.” Respect for others has gone out the window and most have either forgotten basic manners or were never taught them by their adult role-models.

As an industrial country, we allowed too many decent paying jobs to go overseas to strengthen corporate pro ts. Our federal government should push corporate America to bring these jobs back.

Plus, as our relationship with China further deteriorates, it would be smart business to pull up stakes and return manufacturing to America. Once our country was known for its Christian beliefs and principles. While our president still swears on the Bible when taking the oath of o ce today, main line Protestant church a liations have signi cantly declined. According to Pew Research Center’s data, Protestant adult members have decreased by ve million while America’s overall population has increased. Where is our moral compass today?

Let’s celebrate but commit to making a di erence

With Independence Day 2023 behind us, let’s continue to celebrate our freedoms and not take them for granted. Let’s stop and think about how each of us can help make America better in the days, months and years ahead.

Englewood recall of mayor and council members is in the mill

ere’s unrest these days in the

small, land-locked suburb of Englewood. is municipality of 33,000 people has some folks believing too many apartments are being built and planned for their neighborhoods. Currently, petitions are being circulated to recall the mayor and three council members. Petition circulators have until July 6 to garner the required number of signatures to force a special election.

Besides opposing more apartments, the recall group accuses the four of backing “proli c use of accessory dwelling units throughout the city.” ey state that all the density will produce “irreparable damage to established neighborhoods.”

Such comments and thoughts about new density developments are not uncommon throughout the Denver metro area. However, pursuing the recall of seated mayors/ councilmembers is a di erent story. It takes a well-organized group with “ re in their belly” to carry out a recall. As we observed in Westminster in the 2021 water rates recall e ort, it is not an easy task to secure su cient valid signatures within the limited allowed time to force an election on seated council people.

When is new apartment density too much for the voters?

ere is not a scienti c answer to the question as it depends on variables among the various communities. In Englewood’s case, consider these facts.

Englewood is a compact community made up of 46% multifamily housing stock compared to 57% single-family dwellings. is analysis came from Englewood’s housing assessment conducted by Root Policy Research and 57 is signi cant in itself as far as public perception goes.

In 2020, no apartment developments were approved by city council. en in 2021 projects totaling 479 units were approved. As of last summer (2022), another 231 units were approved and had pending permits for another 912 condos and apartments under review.

To me, the straw that may have broken the camel’s back is “ e Emerson” high rise apartment development. Consisting of a 14-story building with 240 units, this project is well under construction. How in the world did the city council ever approve such a dense development

in their comprehensive land use plan?

Westminster’s housing situation

In Westminster’s case, city sta provided a breakdown of existing housing stock. Single family detached dwellings make up 58% (28,151 units) of all housing units. Attached dwelling units (up through nine units to the acre) total 9,645 units for 20% of the total while apartments consist of 21% or 10,575 units. e remaining 1% consists of 588 mobile homes.

None of the gures include residential developments under review.

Again, we see more than a majority of the housing stock being single family detached dwellings. at is what Westminsterites have seen and “felt” over the past decades while the number of apartments have crept up in the last several years.

Clearly, the current approved density of the New Downtown

has been an issue from the getgo. It became more of an issue as buildings started rising up out of the ground and residents saw the looming problem. Plus, apartments have been built where the previous comprehensive land use land did not allow such density. On four separate occasions, a previous city council amended the comprehensive plan to allow apartments which raised the question of compatibility next to existing much lower density. en the surprise to all of us (especially for the current city council) was tearing down Rock Bottom Brewery and Bar Louie at e Promenade for the shoe-horned apartment structure and parking garage. Where does it end?

How to take up running, from starting out to marathons

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Roxane Geisler started running in high school as a new challenge — somebody told her she should run cross country.

“I didn’t even know how to run a mile,” said Geisler, who is now president of the Highlands Ranch Running Club.

Getting into running “just gradually happened for me,” said Geisler, who is 54. “Suddenly, I was like, ‘Oh, I really do enjoy it, and I love getting out and seeing the views.’”

For people who are inexperienced at running but want to improve, it’s key not to be intimidated, Geisler said.

“A lot of people think, ‘Oh, I can’t join the running club because I’m not a real runner.’ And that’s totally silly,” Geisler said. “If you run, you’re a runner.”

Ryan Marker, an assistant professor who teaches exercise physiology at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus in Aurora, said it’s important for beginners to start slow. “Setting appropriate expectations, I think, is really important,” Geisler said. “So if someone’s never run before, you’re not going to get o the couch and do a marathon.”

But with the right plan, even beginners can work their way up to a marathon within months. (Here’s a tip: You don’t have to run the whole thing.)

Here’s some advice on how to start running or take your training to the next level.

Part of the group

One thing that can help you get into running: nding a group of runners to keep you moving.

When Geisler moved to Highlands Ranch in 2003, she noted how many people were out running by themselves.

She learned about the Highlands Ranch Race Series, and part of the idea behind starting her running club was to get some runners to train together.

“It makes running so much easier, training so much easier, when you have people to train with,” Geisler said.

And the people she’s met through her club “were a tremendous in uence on me — just people who really push themselves and try to get the best out of themselves,” said Geisler, who has run marathons.

e club provides a communal atmosphere:

LONG RUN

Runners don’t just work out but also make connections in her group. “De nitely lots of friendships have formed, and even a few people have met their spouses,” Geisler said.

Starting out

For beginners who are getting over the initial hump of starting to run, it’s important not to bite o more than you can chew, said Marker, who works in the department of physical medicine and rehabilitation at the CU Anschutz Medical Campus.

“If you’re just starting, even running for a mile, say — or even less than that — is meaningful,” Marker said.

Another strategy, he said, is to remember you don’t have to run consistently for a whole workout. “Run for ve minutes and walk for two,” Marker said as an example of setting planned walk intervals. at method “can help people build up their initial capacity.”

For runners ages 35 and up, Geisler said starting slow can help, like working toward a goal of “I’m going to run this whole mile without walking,” she said. “And then go from there.”

Also important: making sure you have the right running shoes for you. Geisler recommends getting a shoe tting at a specialty running store like Runners Roost.

“You can really get injuries if you don’t have the right footwear,” Geisler said.

Mental game

“Running is a mental sport” is a cliché for a reason — getting your mind used to running is a big part of the battle.

Di erent strategies can help you tackle the mental aspect of running, according to Marker.

“One very accessible one is goal setting … maybe you’re someone that really thrives on, you know, competition, getting a personal best,” Marker said. For those people, always having an appropriate race that you’re training for can help.

For others, distraction works well, so nd a good music playlist or podcast or audiobooks, Marker suggested.

Or opt for using running as a headclearing experience.

“I can almost do a mindfulness type of thing in running,” Marker said, adding: “Especially if you’re trail running, it can make you stop thinking of other things.”

Gearing up for a marathon

For those who aim to run a marathon — about 26 miles or 42 kilometers — it’s a good idea to schedule an initial training plan of at least six months, Marker said.

For inexperienced runners, there’s “not a small chance that you may get injured in that time, so you want to incorporate some bu er room,” Marker said. at’s partly so if you do develop an injury, you can adjust your training instead of trying to push through the pain and making it worse.

Expecting a long training period can help you eld interruptions that

may pop up.

“Life happens,” Marker said, adding that if you have a busy week at work, for instance, and are not able to stick with your training plan, there’s no need to feel that you’ve failed and have to stop.

In terms of distance, “you want to get in at least one longer run a week,” Marker said.

Expect to run three to four days per week at minimum and six days per week at most.

at’s because runners need to incorporate rest periods to avoid overtraining problems, Marker said, adding that it’s important to give your body time to adapt.

It may surprise you to hear that you shouldn’t be about to keel over throughout your run when training for a marathon.

“It’s not a bad idea to keep most of your training at moderate intensity,” said Marker, who referenced “the talk test.”

at’s “the idea that you’re doing moderate intensity exercise if you’re able to relatively easily carry on a conversation (while) you do that exercise,” Marker said.

If it gets so hard to breathe that you can’t say more than a few words without pausing for breath, that would be higher-than-moderate intensity.

In “the marathon, you’re going to be going at a relatively steady pace for a long period of time,” Marker said, adding it’s a good idea for your training to re ect that pace.

Yes, runners walk

You could call it running or “com-

pleting” a marathon.

“ ere’s no shame if you incorporate walking into a marathon,” Marker said.

“When you get to the elites, they’re running the entire time, and they’re running a pace that people, even me, couldn’t keep up even a 10th of the distance,” said Marker, who has done a couple marathons and one ultramarathon. (An ultramarathon is anything longer than a marathon, he said. e one he did was 50 miles.)

For walking, the biggest tip is making sure it’s planned, Marker said.

“ e moment you start walking because you’re tired,” that can be “game over,” he said.

He added: “You want to have more ‘on’ than ‘o ’ — not ending up with a 50/50 split” of time spent running and walking.

Fuel on the way

Something else you might not know: People training for marathons eat while on the run. at could be energy gels or bars, Marker said.

“I’d say if your long runs are starting to get longer than an hour, that might be a good time to gauge how you’re feeling,” Marker said, adding it could help to start bringing food with you.

Hit the gym

Strength training — not just running — can be key to pushing your running further, as it can help with injury prevention.

“If someone has the time and they’re able to incorporate strength training into their routine,” Marker said, “it can de nitely help them.”

Researchers see a future for psychedelic therapy

BY LEIGH PATERSON KUNC

Interest in the possible mental health bene ts of psychedelics is growing as experiments to better understand these substances are moving ahead.

In Fort Collins, researchers at the Wholeness Center are examining the potential therapeutic use of LSD and, in particular, how — and at what dosage — it may impact people with generalized anxiety disorder.

After a lengthy screening process, study participants go to the Wholeness Center for a 12 hour day with two therapists. ey are unaware of what they will be swallowing: a placebo or various amounts of LSD.

“Particularly through the second hour or the third hour, people are in a very di erent frame of mind,” Dr. Scott Shannon, one of the principal study investigators, said of the people who get LSD instead of the placebo. “ e trees may be breathing, the couch may be moving. And some people will nd this incredibly curious. Other people may be a little intimidated.”

e two therapists are there to reassure participants and calm them down. e experimental sessions taking place in Fort Collins are part of a larger study at 20 sites across the country funded by MindMed, a New Yorkbased biotech company. e company plans to announce topline data from the clinical trials later this year.

“I tell people it’s like, if we’re living our life every day at street level then psychedelics are kind of like going up into a hot air balloon, or maybe even in a satellite, and you’re looking at your life in a very di erent way, and insights come,” Shannon said. “ ey can be scary sometimes. ey can be terrifying.”

is experiment on LSD and anxiety is part of a much larger push to understand how various psychedelics can be used to treat mental health conditions. e e ort involves support from corporations, universities and nonprofits. Earlier this year, the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus announced an upcoming clinical trial to test whether psilocybin can help with treatment-resistant depression. Past research e orts have indicated that psilocybin—also called magic mushrooms—can ease anxiety, particularly for cancer patients.

“We have some suggestion that psychedelics can be helpful for anxiety, and this is a study to try to test that,” Shannon said. this quote was a little long and wordy, I think it can be shortened. e rest has already been explained outside of the quote.

Much of this research has been on hold for decades. After widespread use in the 1960s, the federal government classi ed psychedelics as Schedule 1 drugs, meaning they lack an accepted medical use and have a high potential for abuse.

“It really shut down research in this

country for a long, long time. And it’s now just restarting,” Shannon explained.

Eventually, researchers began requesting licenses from the federal government to study some psychedelics. After encouraging results, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has allowed some of this work to move ahead more quickly by granting “breakthrough therapy” status to certain substances.

Luke Niforatos, the CEO of Protect Our Kids, a group that ghts for more restrictive drug policies and recently opposed Colorado’s ballot measure to decriminalize magic mushrooms, believes in the importance of following the FDA’s process.

“I think the concern that I have is, we’re seeing a lot of kind of breathless rhetoric around the...miracle drug potential of psychedelics,” Luke Niforatos, the CEO of Protect Our Kids, a group that ghts for more restrictive drug policies and recently opposed Colorado’s ballot measure to decriminalize magic mushrooms, said.

Niforatos points to the risks of other drugs like opioids and cannabis. In MindMed’s LSD trial in Fort Collins, some groups are excluded from participation: pregnant women and people with a history of psychosis.

at’s because the risks of using psychedelics in these populations are not fully understood.

“ at’s not to say that these drugs

don’t do what everyone’s really excited about,” Niforatos said. “But what it does mean, though, is it’s still early.”

Research into a psychedelic called MDMA could be entering its nal phase before possible FDA approval.

Berra Yazar-Klosinski, the chief science o cer with the MAPS Public Bene t Corporation, said MDMA is further along in the process than other psychedelics thanks to a growing body of research on using it to treat mental health issues in conjunction with therapy.

She remembers looking over the results from a phase three clinical trial on using MDMA to treat Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, published in 2021 in the journal Nature Medicine. 88% of the participants experienced a meaningful change in their symptoms. Around two-thirds no longer met the criteria for a PTSD diagnosis.

“Oh, my gosh. It was so exciting,” Yazar-Klosinski said of the results. Later this year, Yazar-Klosinski will be walking the FDA through the data as part of a larger request to approve MDMA-assisted therapy.

“It was such a huge surprise that everybody was just shocked and very happy for the PTSD patients and what this could mean for them,” YazarKlosinski said.

ChatGPT o ciates a wedding in Morrison

BY DEB HURLEY BROBST DBROBST@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Reese Wiench and Deyton Truitt said their marriage vows in a church built in 1885. But couples who were wed there in decades past would never guess that the extensive planning for the service didn’t require much in the way of human expertise.

at’s because the couple turned to arti cial intelligence to create their wedding ceremony in Morrison recently.

Speci cally, ChatGPT planned the welcome, the speech, the closing remarks — everything except the vows — making ChatGPT, in essence, the wedding o ciant. Since arti cial intelligence is not recognized as a wedding o ciant by the state of Colorado, Reese’s dad Steve Wiench signed the marriage license.

ChatGPT provided a recording of the ceremony that was played through speakers on a stage in the front of the Historic Morrison Church, not far from the famed Red Rocks concert venue. To make it more interesting, the family bought a robot mask to put on top of the speakers to make it appear that someone was speaking at the June 24 event.

e couple decided to get married quickly because Truitt deploys next week for the Army, and they wanted

to be married so Reese can join him after he completes basic training. ey planned the entire wedding in ve days.

Reese said they were joking about how to get a wedding together that quickly. ey found a venue and decided that attendees would play kazoos to provide the music. ey found a wedding-cake baker, and the cake topper sported a bride and an Army soldier. ey bought their wedding attire.

But they didn’t have an o ciant.

“So, we decided to try using ChatGPT to write the ceremony,” Reese’s dad Steve Wiench said.

ChatGPT, which stands for Chat Generative Pre-Trained Transformer, was developed by research company Open AI. Users can ask questions or input data, and ChatGPT will generate a written response to the desired length, style and detail.

Arti cial intelligence is being used more often in weddings from writing vows to helping with planning. Truitt is a rm believer in articial intelligence, noting that it will change people’s lives by doing jobs in minutes that take humans hours.  e family even used ChatGPT to write a press release announcing the wedding and a statement that was distributed to the 30 wedding guests.

According to the ChatGPT-generated statement handed out to guests: “As the AI o ciant for Reese Alyson Wiench and Deyton Truitt’s wedding, I will focus on celebrating their unique journey of love and unity, highlighting the remarkable merging of human connection and technological innovation. I will emphasize the power of their union to inspire, unite and break barriers, capturing the attention of the world with a story that transcends conventional norms. During the ceremony, I will eloquently express the signi cance of this historic moment and the limitless possibilities that arise when love and technology intersect.”

While arti cial intelligence can help those with di culties expressing themselves in writing and is becoming more prevalent, some raise concerns that it may be used by in place of human-conducted research and writing.

Reese, 23, works at children’s summer camps at Mount Vernon Canyon Club, while Truitt, 26, will be a network communication systems specialist after basic training at Fort

Jackson in Columbia, South Carolina.

Truitt and Reese met on the Tinder dating site two years ago, and Truitt said he had such a good time with Reese from the beginning that “I couldn’t imagine being with anyone else.”

Truitt said ChatGPT was easier for the couple to use to create the wedding ceremony because “I didn’t want to curate what an o ciant said.” Instead, they had control over the themes the ChatGPT o ciant used.

As part of the ceremony, the ChatGPT o ciant quoted scripture and expounded on the passages as they related to love, marriage and the future.

However, the couple didn’t read the script before the ceremony began, so it was new to them as they heard it at 8 p.m. during their wedding — having faith that the ceremony would be just what they wanted.

“I programmed (ChatGPT),” Truitt said. “I know it’s trustworthy.”

In the vows he wrote, Truitt told Reese he was sorry he couldn’t live up to what she deserved.

“I don’t have enough time on this Earth to give you all the love you deserve,” Truitt said, calling her kind-hearted, caring and genuine. “I love the person you are turning me into.”

Reese told Truitt she didn’t want to say anything cheesy or cliche, so she wrote him a love poem as her vows, ending with: “I know that you are with me because I am yours and you are mine.”

After the ceremony that included the ring exchange, the kiss and introducing the married couple, guests said they enjoyed the arti cial-intelligence generated wedding. Truitt and Reese were pleased, too.

“ChatGPT took something personal to humans like a wedding and enhanced it,” Reese said.

e Colorado Supreme Court said that despite the careful legal maneuvering, the law was still deemed unconstitutional.

“For the same reason that the legislature cannot revive timebarred claims, it cannot create a new cause of action that covers the same conduct and apply it retroactively,” the court’s ruling said. “We certainly understand the General Assembly’s desire to right the wrongs of past decades by permitting such victims to hold abusers and their enablers accountable. But the General Assembly may accomplish its ends only through constitutional means.”

e Supreme Court’s decision came in a case led by a woman who sued Aurora Public Schools. She said she was sexually abused by a coach at Rangeview High School in the early 2000s, alleging that the coach made her perform oral sex on him over 100 times during her four years at the school, starting when she was 14. She said it wasn’t until 2007 that she began to fully understand what had happened to her, but when she reported the abuse to police, authorities told her the statute of limitations had run out.

e case was tossed out by a lower court on grounds that Senate BIll 88 was unconstitutional, which

prompted the woman to le an appeal with the state’s highest court.

e court’s 40-page ruling may have policy implications far beyond Senate Bill 88.

“ is is probably a bill that will go down in history as one that Colorado law students will study,” said Rep. Matt Soper, a Delta Republican and attorney who also was a lead sponsor of Senate Bill 88.

e Colorado Coalition Against Sexual Assault, one of the main proponents of Senate Bill 88, said more than half of child sex abuse survivors don’t disclose what happened to them until after they turn 50 years old.

“While the Supreme Court’s decision … takes away their opportunity for justice and accountability in Colorado, it does not invalidate the harm they experienced nor their strength in telling their story,” Brie

Franklin, executive director of the nonpro t, said in a written statement. “CCASA remains committed to changing laws and systems to promote safety, justice and healing for all survivors. Regardless of when the sexual abuse happened, survivors can still get help and support from community-based programs and through healing services.”

Michaelson Jenet, Danielson and Soper said they will work to nd another avenue to give victims of historic child sex abuse their day in court, but admitted their options appear both unclear and limited.

“I’m not willing to let it drop,” Michaelson Jenet said. “I do still believe that victims deserve their day in court. I want to gure out a way to make that happen.”

Michael Nimmo, a Colorado attorney representing clients who were sexually abused as kids, said he’s interested in amending the Colorado Constitution to remove the language barring retrospective laws, though he acknowledges that’s a tall — and pricey — task that would require voter approval.

He said the U.S. Constitution doesn’t have such language, and thus it doesn’t appear in most state constitutions either. at’s why other state’s have been able to open windows of opportunity for survivors of historic child sex abuse to sue.

“In my opinion, the Colorado Constitution should mimic the U.S. Constitution,” he said. “I think if it’s

OK for the U.S. Constitution, why is it not OK for Colorado’s?”

Nimmo said he has roughly 35 clients who had already led cases under Senate Bill 88 or were hoping to. It’s not clear how many lawsuits had been led under Senate Bill 88 when the Supreme Court issued its ruling, but it’s likely well into the dozens.

Nimmo, said one silver lining is that the Colorado Supreme Court didn’t strike down all of Senate Bill 88. e measure still allows recent and future child sex abuse survivors to overcome the government’s protections from nancial consequences in lawsuits, a right they didn’t have before.

He said while he felt the legal arguments for why Senate Bill 88 was constitutional were strong, he always knew there was a chance a court would disagree. He said lawyers frequently take a chance with their legal interpretations.

“I never once thought 100% this law was constitutional,” he said. “We thought we had a way to make this complicit with our constitution. We were wrong.”

U.S. Open winner through the eyes of his high school coaches

BY JOHN RENFROW JRENFROW@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Justen Byler, the head golf coach at Valor Christian High School, said it’s no accident Wyndham Clark faced intense pressure head-on to win the U.S. Open golf tournament last week. Byler felt a rst major championship was going to come sooner or later for Clark.

“We felt pretty con dent that it was coming,” Byler said. “If you really look back over the last seven months, and really this whole [PGA Tour] season, he has experienced a ton of success, and it’s been growing over the last few seasons. He’s had seven top 10s, he’s only missed one cut since October, and he’s just playing more and more consistent golf.”

A 2012 Valor Christian alum, Clark was able to fend o Rory McIlroy, Ricky Fowler, and the world’s No. 1 golfer, Scottie Sche er, in the nal round to seal the victory on June 18.

With an even-70, Clark’s 10-under total of 270 bested McIlroy by one stroke at e Los Angeles Country Club. Prior to his victory, Clark never nished higher than 75th in a major championship, and had missed the U.S. Open cut twice prior to winning.

According to ESPN, he is

just the fourth golfer in the last 100 years to win the U.S. Open the week of his rstmade cut. Clark earned a $3.6 million paycheck with the win.

He dedicated the victory to his late mother.

“My mom lived in L.A.,” Clark told “ e Today Show.”

“I had people throughout the week come up to me and show me pictures, which was so cool. It just created this vibe where I was like, ‘Man, I really feel the presence of my mom here.”’

e victory comes a month after Clark won the 2023 Wells Fargo Championship in Charlotte, North Carolina in early May, his rst PGA Tour

victory.

Byler said Clark has turned a corner over the last year in how he’s mentally approaching the game.

He recalled coaching Clark, not in golf, but on the Valor basketball team at the Highlands Ranch high school. Even as a point guard, Clark showed some unique attributes that are common in all-time great athletes, Byler said.

“When you have generational talents, you notice some things about the way they approach their sport and the competitive nature that they have. He was like that in basketball and in golf,” Byler said.

Back then, Clark split time between the court and the course. It was before Byler took over the school’s golf program from Jason Preeo, who recalls Clark’s inquisitiveness as a student of the game is what has always separated him from others.

“ at’s the thing that I tell everybody about him that people don’t realize,” Preeo said. “He’s just always trying to learn and ask questions about this shot or that shot, and get better and get di erent points of view, and have a better understanding of things. at’s what set him apart; he worked harder and wanted to learn more than anyone else.”

Preeo was Valor’s golf coach for nine years until 2018 and is now a golf instructor at the Metagolf Learning Center in Sheridan.

Preeo, a long-time golf coach, said he noticed Clark was better than even older, college-level golfers.

“It was pretty obvious early on that he was going to be really good,” Preeo said. “I had just never been around [the typical] ‘child prodigy’ before to say with any conviction, ‘Yeah, this kid is denitely gonna make it.’ But if you would have said, ‘Are you willing to bet on it happening?’ I would have told everybody he’s going to be out there and probably doing

it for a long time and doing it really well.”

Byler expected Clark to contend in the U.S. Open, and his play has been speaking for itself recently, but it’s always a blessing and a surprise when he’s able to actually clinch the victory, Byler said. ey don’t come easy.

“When he nally broke through (at the Wells Fargo), he showed some signs that his mental game in addition to the skillset he had was kind of making a turn. I’m not sure anybody ever anticipates following that up with a U.S. Open championship or a major win. You’ve seen a lot of really great people either never win or struggle to continue to get wins, because there’s only four of them a year,” Byler said.

On the “Pat McAfee Show” on June 20, Clark said he hired someone to help with his mental health on and o the course.

When you get to the highest level of any sport, the di erence-makers are those that work the hardest and have the strongest mental approach, he said. It’s all between the ears in the end.

Clark admitted to neglecting his mental game for too long until recently, despite his high school coaches’ praise on his approach. But

Bicyclist Je Conaway injured during Race Across America

BY JOHN RENFROW JRENFROW@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Je Conaway recently embarked on a 3,000-mile cross-country bicycle race in an e ort to raise money in the ght against human tra cking.

His contribution to an eight-man team in the Race Across America was cut short on Monday. Conaway, 43, crashed near Trinidad on U.S. Hwy. 160 and was rushed to a hospital where he was diagnosed with a head injury, broken collarbone and broken scapula.

e Littleton-area cyclist is in stable condition with his family after being airlifted to a hospital in Colorado Springs for further care.

Conaway’s bicycle computer called 911 as soon

as he crashed, which was fortunate considering he was in an area with little-to-no cellular service. It was Conaway’s rst cross-country race.

Conaway’s team, ZOE Internatinoal, rides to raise money and awareness about human tra cking across the globe.

“It’s that cause that really keeps us going,” Conaway told Colorado Community Media last week. “And knowing that it’s not about us, it’s about the bigger picture. We kind of live by a motto that ‘our fuel is their freedom,’ and it really keeps us motivated.”

As Conaway recovers, he’s said to be cheering on his team, now seven, to complete the race without him.

e team is currently

holding onto second place, and still expects to nish by Friday, ZOE Team Manager Brad Ortenzi told Colorado Community Media on Tuesday.

“Je ’s doing OK,” Ortenzi said., “He’s really banged up, but he’s in great spirits with his family now. He’s still very supportive of us, which is amazing. You go through a range of emotions from heartbroken, sad, concerned … but overall, it has united the team, and Je ’s attitude has done that for us.”

e 2023 Race Across America has the team competing against six others. It is one of the most grueling competitions in the world of cycling, an endurance slog across the nation starting in Oceanside, California and ending in Annapolis, Mary-

land. e ride began on June 17.

According to race rules, a team must nish with the members it started with. If a team rider drops out, there are no substitutions. On ZOE International’s team, two squads of four were taking turns riding in segments. Conaway’s departure changes that plan.

It was a good thing that Conaway’s bike computer was working. ere are times when the riders are outside the view of the team’s following support vehicle, Ortenzi said. at’s what happened when Conaway crashed.

“What we think happened is, it was pretty windy yesterday,” Ortenzi explained. “A gust of wind, and the speeds we’re going … I don’t know how fast Je was going, but

we do hit speeds of over 50 mph. A gust of wind on a bike [at that speed] sometimes gets things unstable. So, that might be a possibility of what took place.”

Ortenzi participated in ZOE International’s 2019 and 2021 Race Across America teams, and said spills happen rather often, but this is the rst serious injury he’s seen.

“In Je ’s case, just the severe speed of what was going on has a lot to do with his injuries,” he said. “And that’s Je , too. He goes after it. He goes after it hard. But with seven riders, we’re going almost as fast as we did with eight. at shows how the riders have upped their game a bit.”

BY ERICA BREUNLIN THE COLORADO SUN

Growing up in a world that often sees di erences as de ciencies, Shannon Brennan long ago learned to question the things that set her apart from others rather than embrace them.

For Brennan, 37, those di erences play out in the way she learns. e two halves of her brain don’t always communicate with each other, she said, so she sometimes struggles to understand speech. Brennan was diagnosed with a genetic condition known as Fragile X syndrome at age 12, and is sometimes anxious and can quickly become overstimulated in large crowds or when bombarded by loud noises.

But last week, when Brennan found herself more than 5,000 miles away from her home in Aurora meeting people who navigate the world with their own set of special needs, she began to look at her di erences, well, di erently.

“I just have challenges, but (my body) ain’t broken,” she said. “It’s ne. It just works in a di erent way. Just because it works di erently than yours doesn’t mean it’s broken or damaged or anything.”

Brennan set o on a 10-day trip with e Wayfaring Band earlier this month, Berlin-bound to volunteer at the 2023 Special Olympics. e Denver-based nonpro t shepherds groups of adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities, along with their typical peers who want to learn how to be better allies, on excursions across the country and world. e getaways give adults with disabilities an opportunity to branch out of their everyday lives — much of which are often guided by other people like parents and job coaches — to explore new cultures and learn more about themselves.

ose kinds of treks can be rare for people with disabilities because so much of the world falls short in accommodating their needs, said Kendall Hagar, interim executive director of e Wayfaring Band.

“Every human being should belong in our world,” said Hagar, who has attention-de cit/hyperactivity disorder. “And we believe that folks

with disabilities are not limited in their capacity to enjoy the full human experience and all of the things that that entails.”

e nonpro t, which has been whisking adults with disabilities to all kinds of destinations for nearly 11 years, also pushes for those individuals to be treated as the adults they are — rather than children.

“We’re actively ghting against that infantilization by doing very adult things,” Hagar said.

On past trips, that has included clinking drinks at biker bars and attending concerts. In Berlin, band members tried schnitzel for the rst time, shared a meter-long tray full of beers, checked out a marketplace, and visited both the Anne Frank Center and the Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe.

ey also watched Special Olympics athletes compete in swimming, soccer, cycling and equestrian events and made new friends from all over the world as they volunteered at the Games, welcoming attendees, o ering directions to spectators and energizing crowds.

Brennan, who was visiting Germany for the rst time, initially clammed up while thinking about introducing herself to volunteers and athletes from other countries. But with help from another band member, she overcame her hesitation and struck up conversations with strangers, exchanging ashy commemorative pins with many of them.

At the start of the Games, each team of athletes received pins decorated to re ect their country, with the idea that they would be traded with other teams, carrying on a tradition that dates back to the 1920s. e Wayfaring Band brought their own pins, breaking through language barriers as they approached athletes and gestured at pins to swap.

Justin Pressel, another band member, gathered 13 pins, which he fastened to a lanyard, and in his time in Berlin got to know people from Israel, Japan and North Macedonia, among other places.

Pressel, 32, previously traveled to New Mexico and Seattle with e Wayfaring Band but had never ventured out of the country. His voyage to Berlin with 11 other band mem-

bers marked one of his biggest steps beyond his comfort zone.

“I’m used to being alone at home playing video games,” said Pressel, who lives in Denver and also works full time at King Soopers.

He was in awe over an opening ceremony that featured lively, acrobatic performances and a parade of at least 170 countries, and he became mesmerized by soccer matches that were punctuated with slide tackles and collisions.

Pressel, who has cerebral palsy, had fun getting to know his fellow travelers and learning about their di erences — all while banding together with volunteers, fans and athletes at the Games to cheer everyone on.

“Even though they’re rooting for (their) country, everyone’s the same,” Pressel said. “ ey’re all for the Special Olympics. at’s what’s great.”

Brennan’s trip overseas stopped before it even started. A three-anda-half month battle for an updated passport ended with her leaving for Berlin the day after she was supposed to y out with her bandmates. After the U.S. Department of State returned the initial application she mailed in, citing that it was incomplete without much more explanation, she struggled to nd an available appointment to renew her passport in person. She eventually secured an appointment in Kiowa, 45 minutes from her home, and paid an extra fee to expedite shipping.

Brennan waited a few more weeks while her passport was being processed and couldn’t get an answer from the passport agency about when she would receive her passport.

e week she was slated to leave, she called U.S. Sen. Michael Bennet’s o ce to help rush the delivery of her passport. After more waiting and more frustration, she nally received her passport the day of her ight but not in time to catch it.

“It’s confusing,” Brennan said. “It’s really hard. Anybody but especially anybody who has a disability or some kind of di erence, it’s really, really di cult to understand.”

at hiccup was the rst of several the group encountered leading up to and during their time abroad as they noticed and experienced accessibility challenges at the Special Olympics —

the one place designed speci cally for people with disabilities. eir concerns started with ashing lights and loud music during the Games’ opening ceremony — special e ects that can be harmful to some people with sensory challenges. Band members also noted that bathroom spaces were not wide enough to t a wheelchair while some wheelchairaccessible ramps were often far from the areas where spectators led in to watch events.

And in Berlin, a steep set of stairs down to the subway and narrow sidewalks created additional hurdles for people who rely on wheelchairs.

“Accessibility is hard,” Hagar said, “and it takes work. And even folks that are doing the work still have learning to do. And I can’t imagine how much work it was to put on this massive global event and the logistics that it involved, and there’s always room for improvement.”

Other challenges for groups of travelers during previous trips and even at home have been prompted by people rather than places. For instance, while e Wayfaring Band was exploring Seattle last summer, a woman collecting tickets for a ferry ride belittled the troupe as they boarded.

“She was saying things like, ‘Why are you so slow? Are you an idiot? What’s wrong with you?’” Hagar recalls.

at moment sticks with Pressel, who kept walking but grew quietly angry as the woman continued her outburst.

But the accessibility setbacks the group faced in Berlin didn’t completely cloud their trip. Instead, band members encouraged one another to be open about their needs and be brave enough to ask for help.

Traveling with the band led Sophia Calderón, a freelance photographer who shadowed band members and documented their days in Berlin, to be more aware of how she carries herself and the ways she views spaces.

“I’m also in this space of my life where I’m ready to unlearn a lot of the structures that society has implemented in our minds,” Calderón

said, adding that she wants people to understand that individuals with disabilities deserve autonomy and can give help as easily as they receive it.

As a group in Berlin, e Wayfaring Band formed its own sense of community during their nearly week and a half of travels — one that surrounded Brennan with the kinds of meaningful friends she’s been searching for, especially after a recent divorce chipped away at her ability to trust others.

“ ey really helped build that for me, at least like the rst building block of trusting people a little bit more,” she said.

And they have helped her embrace the di erences she has spent so

“Although I made a couple bogeys and it seemed like maybe the rails were coming o , I was inside pretty calm, so I’m really pleased with myself and how I performed.” Clark said in his U.S. Open champion press conference. “When things are going sideways or even good, I want to go fast.

much of her life questioning.

“ e culture of our group is the way that I wish the world operated, where folks are just on a regular basis supporting each other with whatever they need and remembering that we are di erent and yet we are all on the same team,” Hagar said. “We all want happiness. We all want peace in our lives. We all want a life of adventure and beauty, and … we can lean on each other to get all of those things. And it actually makes it more magical when we get to do it all together.”

“I feel like I belong on this stage. Even two or three years ago when people didn’t know who I was, I felt like I could still play and compete against the best players in the world. I feel like I’ve shown that this year.

INTRODUCED BY COUNCILLORS DeMott, Emmons

A BILL FOR AN ORDINANCE AMENDING SECTIONS 11-11-8 AND 11-11-16 OF THE WESTMINSTER MUNICIPAL CODE TO UPDATE REFERENCES THEREIN TO THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN

Whereas, the City of Westminster (City) adopted revised sign regulations on December 21, 2020; and

Whereas, Westminster Municipal Code (W.M.C.) Section 11-11-8(C) establishes categories for sign types based upon Comprehensive Plan land use designations and establishes definitions in Section 11-11-16, W.M.C., that include Comprehensive Plan land use designations; and

Whereas, the City adopted a revised Comprehensive Plan on March 27, 2023; and

Whereas, the Westminster City Council finds it in the public interest to amend Sections 11-11-8 and 11-11-16, W.M.C., to align the terminology of the W.M.C. and the revised Comprehensive Plan.

THE CITY OF WESTMINSTER ORDAINS:

Section 1. Subsection 11-11-8(C), W.M.C., is hereby AMENDED to read as follows:

(C) Categories. Sections 11-11-9 through 11-11-11(B), W.M.C., regulate sign characteristics by common zoning districts or comprehensive plan land use designations (referred to herein as “areas”). The City currently regulates use, setbacks, building dimensions and site and building design by land use designations in the Comprehensive Plan (applied at the time of PDP/ODP approval) and zoning districts (established in Chapter 4 of this Title) and designated on the Zoning Map (see Section 11-4-2, W.M.C.). Many of these land use designations and zoning districts have common characteristics for purposes of sign regulations and are collapsed into common categories for purposes of applying this Chapter’s sign regulations. If the Comprehensive Plan land use designation and the zoning designation on a given parcel are misaligned or contradicting, the Comprehensive Plan category shall govern, except for SPD. Properties with PUD zoning shall be subject to the associated Comprehensive Plan designation for the property. These land use categories are as follows:

City of Westminster, an entitlement jurisdiction under the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) 4800 West 92nd Avenue Westminster, CO, 80031 (303) 658-2414

These notices shall satisfy two separate but related procedural requirements for activities to be undertaken by the City of Westminster.

REQUEST FOR RELEASE OF FUNDS

On or about Tuesday, July 25, 2023 the City of Westminster will submit a request to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for the release of Community Development Block Grant funds under Title I of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, as amended, to undertake a project known as the Harris-Park-Palette for the purpose of performing site landscaping and improvements to support use of three-parcels (3630 W. 73rd Ave., 7277 and 7287 Lowell Blvd.) as an open-air community event space. The anticipated CDBG allocation is $200,000.

FINDING OF NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACT

The City of Westminster has determined that the project will have no significant impact on the human environment. Therefore, an Environmental Impact Statement under the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) is not required. Additional information is contained in an Environmental Review Record (ERR) that documents the environmental determinations for this project and is on file at the Economic Development Department, City of Westminster, located at 4800 West 92nd Ave., Westminster Colorado, and may be examined or copied weekdays 8 A.M. to 5 P.M., with an appointment.

PUBLIC COMMENTS

Any individual, group, or agency may submit written comments on the ERR to the CDBG Staff at the City of Westminster via email at: CDBG@ cityofwestminster.us. All comments received by Monday, July 24, 2023, will be considered by the City of Westminster prior to authorizing submission of a request for release of funds. Comments should specify which notice they are addressing.

ENVIRONMENTAL CERTIFICATION

The City of Westminster certifies to HUD that Mark A. Freitag in his capacity as City Manager consents to accept the jurisdiction of the Federal Courts if an action is brought to enforce responsibilities in relation to the environmental review process and that these responsibilities have been satisfied. HUD’s approval of the certification satisfies its responsibilities under NEPA and related laws and authorities and allows the City of Westminster to use Program funds.

OBJECTIONS TO RELEASE OF FUNDS

HUD will accept objections to its release of funds and the City of Westminster’s certification for a period of fifteen days following the anticipated submission date or its actual receipt of the request (whichever is later) only if they are on one of the following bases: (a) the certification was not executed by the Certifying Officer of the City of Westminster; (b) the RE has omitted a step or failed to make a decision or finding required by HUD regulations at 24 CFR part 58; (c) the grant recipient or other participants in the development process have committed funds, incurred costs or undertaken activities not authorized by 24 CFR Part 58 before approval of a release of funds by HUD; or (d) another Federal agency acting pursuant to 40 CFR Part 1504 has submitted a written finding that the project is unsatisfactory from the standpoint of environmental quality. Objections must be prepared and submitted via email in accordance with the required procedures (24 CFR Part 58, Sec. 58.76) and shall be addressed to Noemi Ghirghi, CPD Region VIII Director, at CPD_COVID-19OEE-DEN@hud.gov.

LETTERS

Westminster does not run Westminster, our professional staff runs Westminster. Our professional staff is bored with being a suburb; their dreams lie in high density, mass transit and public housing.

The elected Council of Westminster it too kind, gentle, accommodating and afraid to run Westminster. Council is a figurehead, a smiling-face to show concern- and our brilliant, over-paid, professional staff fills the void.

We concern ourselves with minor details and leave to staff the profound decisions and tens of millions of dollars of spending. Council does not even guide our budget process!

The November 2023 election will not change this but voters must take a step towards change. Even with new council members the majority will not change unless some carry-over members change their hearts.

Two of the carry-over Council members have no interest in sustaining Westminster as a suburb. One fully supports the staff running Westminster. She has contempt for the elected council members, hates suburbs, single family homes, green lawns and private cars. Another cares only about climbing the political ladder and has already announced his quest for higher office. His professed concern for Westminster is

the Pro Forma requirement to fool the voters.

I want Westminster to be an enduring, self-sustaining, safe, quiet, beautiful suburb. I invite everyone to join me in preserving Westminster.

Bruce Baker, Westminster

Options abound for better Westminster

With the former school...that is, the Sheridan Green site, we have the possibility of solving some of our many problems within Westminster...especially a lot of selfcreated problems.

That site can be a mixed-use solution for problems such as homelessness, as real estate for construction of teacher and workforce housing, as classroom and recreation space for residents, etc.

Let’s stop depending on the Uplands group to “solve” our problems...they are doing nothing but exacerbating them.

The latest application for the Davies Locker site for something that meets no local codes or regulations, while taking advantage of city council’s fear that if some outside “power” doesn’t come in and take over Westminster with their self-serving plans, then Westminster will be doomed.

Geez...get a handle!

There are people who can meet and address local concerns without giving away the ‘farm’, literally and figuratively, to outside interests. The Uplands group does NOT have our best interest at heart. The
