How Coloradans can save water at home Experts share tips, insight into water-saving strategies BY SHANNON MULLANE THE COLORADO SUN

Leighty said she and the City Councilors wanted to do something different than the usual State of the City addresses where electeds give a speech. “We wanted it to be about celebration and we wanted it to be about our residents. We wanted you to be really clear about your city services and all of the ways that you can be engaged in your community,” Leighty said.

OK, Coloradans, let’s clear the shampoo out of our eyes: Your shower water is likely connected to the Colorado River water supply crisis. But can you really help by conserving water at home? In recent years, two decades of drought and prolonged overuse have brought the Colorado River Basin’s largest storage reservoirs to the brink of collapse. The crisis is reaching Coloradans’ lives in the form of summer lawn watering restrictions, higher utility bills and even a shortage of Sriracha. Some cities have bought agricultural water rights for more municipal water, and people with junior water rights often have their water supply cut in dry years. Water experts say Colorado residents can help with the crisis, and they have plenty of tips to help the conservation-minded Coloradan start saving water at home. One drawback: In many cases, there’s no guarantee that in-home savings help refill the system’s struggling reservoirs. “It’s like, OK great, our city is now saving 10% of what it was using,” said Gregor MacGregor, a water law expert at the University of Colorado. “The question is, what is your city going to do with that 10%? Are they going to leave it in the Colorado River Basin? Are they going to leave it in a reservoir for

Kulmann protection order against Namazi made permanent Issue of invasion of personal space and free speech BY LUKE ZARZECKI LZARZECKI@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

An Adams County magistrate made Thornton Mayor Jan Kulmann’s temporary protection order permanent at a hearing on July 18. Previously, Kulmann received an order that Dariush Namazi will stay at least five yards away from Kulmann and included stipulations that Namazi will not stalk, harass or threaten her. Magistrate Michael Garlan made that order permanent but with some changes. Namazi will still need to be 15 feet away from Kulmann. However, the magistrate defined contact as physical contact since previously the order said: “shall have no contact of any kind.” That change comes in regard to concerns of free speech. Namazi and his attorney’s argument against the order was that it was a “SLAPP,” - a Strategic Lawsuit Against Public Participation. The reason for the 15 feet distance away from Kulmann is due to the distance between the podium in

council chambers and Kulmann’s chair. Namazi will still be able to come to council, make public comments and show up to city events. The magistrate said that Namazi communicating with Kulmann is not a violation, but being within

15 feet and touching her will be a violation. During the hearing, Namazi said his actions are his way of protest. He’s been sporting his alias “Danny Kulmann” at city council and city events, wearing a Make America

Great Again hat and a shirt with Kulmann’s face on it while pairing Jan Kulmann and other candidates for council with far-right political figures. During his closing argument, Kulmann’s attorney, Justin Cohen, said that Namazi has repeatedly followed Kulmann and invaded her personal space. He compared the situation to President Joe Biden, where Namazi would not be able to follow Biden as close and run out to touch him. During the hearing, a Thornton police officer testified that Namazi touched his butt. Kulmann said she lost 10 pounds and sleep due to the stress of the situation. Namazi’s attorney, Steven Zansberg who also represents Colorado Community Media, said during his closing arguments that Kulmann did not have enough evidence to prove a fear of physical safety. He said following a candidate around and saying she’s a MAGA candidate isn’t stalking. He also said the evidence shows Kulmann wasn’t afraid to be around Namazi, only when he was filming or photographing her. “The Court should put an end, forthwith, to Petitioner’s abuse of the judicial process for her own political ends,” Zansberg wrote in a motion to dismiss the complaint.

Thornton seeks new pipeline permit to get Cache La Poudre water recommended to the Board of Commissioners to approve the project. However, the Board voted unanimously to deny the application on Feb. 11, 2019, saying the project did not meet seven of the 12 criteria it requires. Thornton took the decision to the District Court, claiming the board abused its discretion in denying Thornton’s application. While the Board said that seven of the criteria weren’t met, the District Court ruled that there were only three instances with competent evidence to support the Board’s conclusion. Thornton appealed the decision at the Court of Appeals, who dealt a blow to Thornton, but recognized the Board’s abuse of power. “Although we agree with Thornton that the Board exceeded its regulatory powers in several respects, we ultimately affirm its decision to deny the permit application,” they wrote in the opinion. Thornton officials said they decided not to appeal that decision because of time. “After thorough consideration of its options, the City of Thornton has

decided against filing a petition with the Colorado Supreme Court in its lawsuit against Larimer County,” the city announced in a statement. The entire Thornton Water Project is 74 miles long and potentially will deliver water from a reservoir near Fort Collins, nearly doubling the city’s current water supply. Twelve miles of the pipeline will run through Larimer County, 34 miles through Weld County, and five miles through Adams County. The rest of the pipeline will go into municipalities throughout those three counties. The last hurdle is Larimer County. This time around, staff has conducted community surveys asking what residents near the pipeline would like the city to consider in the location of the pipeline and in the construction. They also asked about their understanding of the project. “Lots of community engagement,” said Emily Hunt, deputy infrastructure director. They sent the survey to around 400 people with 80 responses. From the survey, 95% of respondents said the pipeline construction should minimize impacts to private property,

87% said the pump station should be located so it doesn’t impact private property and 79% said the pipeline w should impact traffic patterns as little m as possible. w They plan to submit their applica- w tion this September, and hope to in complete the entire project by 2027, in said Hunt. City Councilor Karen Bigelow asked m if the current water supply for Thorn- te ton can last until then. Hunt said yes. ed sp te Other sections The city is moving forward with the sa construction of different sections of b the project concurrently.

It’s small … but it matters.” Home water use falls primarily into two categories: indoor and outdoor. In Colorado, residents tend to use more water outdoors watering their lawns and gardens. That’s led to the rise of water-wise landscaping efforts, like those currently being showcased at the Denver Botanic Gardens. Indoors, Colorado residents use about 60 gallons per capita each day. That leaves them with plenty of opportunities for conservation — and accidental waste.

Thornton is trying again to receive a 1041 permit from Larimer County for their long-anticipated Thornton Water Project, staff announced at their July 18 planning session meeting. They hope to complete the project by 2027. The move comes after Thornton was denied the permit previously by Larimer County Commissioners. The city sued for the decision to be overturned but was denied the permit again by the Colorado Court of Appeals. To get the water, Thornton needed to apply for a 1041 permit to build the project and have it approved by the Larimer County Commission. The Larimer County Planning Commission voted to deny the permit on May 16, 2018. In response, Thornton worked to address the concerns raised by the Commission. Thornton then submitted a revised application, which included changing the preferred route to a different corridor approach that was recommended by the Commission. With the new edits, the Commission

WATER

When it comes to water efficiency at home, the temperature, duration and appliances in a shower can all impact water savings.

FROM PAGE 6

which is enough to supply water to 11 million homes. And about 50% of the water used outside is lost because of wind, evaporation and runoff from inefficient irrigation systems, according to the EPA. “We’re now in a world where feet matter in Lake Powell. Drops of water matter because we’re on a knife’s edge. When you’re in that tight of a spot, every single water use matters. No matter how small,” Berggren said. There are a few simple ways to cut back on water use at home, including some Colorado-specific programs. Yes, taking shorter showers can decrease water use and cut back on your water bill. The EPA says that, if all 300 million people in the U.S. reduced their shower time by one minute each time, the country could save 170 billion gallons each year. Turning off the tap while brushing your teeth can save 8 gallons of water per day, and only running the dishwasher when it’s full can save the average family about 320 gallons of water per year, according to the EPA. But Berggren says rather than changing habits — which we all know can have a hit-or-miss success rate — he’d start with making purchases, like a more efficient shower fixture. The EPA says households can boost their water efficiency by 20% when residents switch to products with WaterSense labels. And a shower that lasts for five minutes using a low-flow showerhead uses 12 gallons of water, according to a 2014 Colorado State University water use fact sheet. Similar savings are possible with toilets: Those made before 1993 use 3.5 to 8 gallons per flush, while high efficiency toilets made after 1993 use 1.6 gallons per flush or less. That means a family of four can save 14,000 to 25,000 gallons per year by switching to more efficient toilets. (The date of manufacture of most toilets is on the underside of the tank lid.) Updating your washing machine can also make a big difference. Conventional, top-loading washing machines use 35 to 50 gallons per load. Newer front-loading machines use 18 to 20 gallons per load, according to CSU. For those who have updated their appliances and are careful about water use around the house, there’s a way to take at-home efficiency a step further: grey water reuse. These systems capture grey water — the runoff from showers, bathroom sinks and laundry machines — and then use it for other purposes, like watering ornamental plants outside or flushing toilets, at the same location. This water can contain dirt, oil, greases, lint and possibly human pathogens, so don’t use it to drink or water your vegetables, experts say. Laundry-to-landscape systems installed by homeowners, which capture washing machine water for outdoor irrigation, can cost as little

as $350, said Jon Novick, the environmental administrator for the Denver Department of Public Health and Environment. Whole house systems pipe water from showers and bathroom sinks through a treatment process and then send it to toilets to provide water for flushing. The system alone can cost $6,000 to $8,000, not including installation costs, so they’re more feasible for new houses or developments with multiple units, Novick said. They’re often cost prohibitive for existing homes. These systems also come with a catch: Local governments need water rights that allow for reuse, which limits the adoption of grey water programs, and new installations are only legal if the local government has officially approved grey water reuse. People with pre-existing systems should check with their local programs to see if their system can be grandfathered in. As of July, six local governments have approved grey water reuse, including the city and county of Denver, Pitkin County, Fort Collins, Grand Junction and Golden. Those who draw water from wells will need to check their permits. Exempt well permits, for example, do not allow reuse of indoor water for outdoor irrigation. If a grey water system saves 25 gallons per day and is installed in 500,000 homes, it could save 14,000 acre-feet per year. That’s enough water to supply 28,000 homes, Novick said. But the counties that have approved grey water ordinances have seen little uptake. As of June, Denver had approved 30 systems; Castle Rock, 29 systems; and Pitkin County, zero, according to each county’s program manager. Whether water efficiency measures translate into conservation in the Colorado River Basin depends on factors ranging from where a resident lives to local water management decisions. Water pulled from the Colorado River Basin on the Western Slope never returns to the basin. Front Range residents could use less water in the hope that more water could stay on the Western Slope, but there are no incentives for Front Range water providers to give up such a valuable resource because of water savings, said MacGregor, the water law expert at CU. “Anyone who pockets (water) savings can make a ton of money by selling those savings to another water user,” he said. “The question is, what is the mechanism for leaving water on

the Western Slope through conservation?” Even if a water efficiency program is enormously successful, cities and towns can still choose to use their water savings toward building new developments, rather than leaving them in reservoirs. “This is the really frustrating part of what’s happened in a lot of areas. It’s like, you look at it, and efficiency has increased per capita, use has decreased over time, but we’re still susceptible to drought,” MacGregor said. “It’s because we’re not actually banking those savings.” If at-home water efficiency measures are adopted widely, and the unused water is conserved for the future, those savings can help storage at local reservoirs and even help meet environmental and ecological needs by keeping more water in streams. It could even be used by downstream water rights holders who might have their supply cut off earlier in a dry year. But there’s no guarantee that the

water will reach the Colorado River’s main storage reservoirs, like Lake Powell on the Utah-Arizona border. That would require complicated, interstate legal and administrative procedures — an option being explored by Colorado. Experts are adamant: Residents should still try to use water efficiently at home. If Colorado residents are more efficient in their water use, then cities and towns could pull less water from rivers and streams on the front end, which leaves water in the stream for others. Landscapes could be better able to withstand wet and dry years with the addition of native plants. Treatment plants spend less money on treating water before releasing it, which could help with water bills, experts say. “This isn’t a situation that there’s going to be one thing that’s going to solve the problem. It’s more of a case of incremental change, so every little bit helps,” Novick said. “If you’re saving a gallon of water by taking a shorter shower, or two gallons of water — if everyone were to do that … all of that would add up. We have to think of this more holistically.” This story is from The Colorado Sun, a journalist-owned news outlet based in Denver and covering the state.

Front Range inches closer to banning gas-powered mowers BY MICHAEL BOOTH THE COLORADO SUN

State air pollution officials are likely to vote by the end of the year on a 2025 ban on the sale of push or hand-held, gasoline-powered lawn equipment in nine Front Range counties with ozone problems, after a key regional advisory council recommended the bar as an effective strategy. The Regional Air Quality Council’s policy recommendation also wants to ban institutions like schools or parks from using existing handheld gas equipment in the summer months starting in 2025, and a summer ban for all commercial landscapers beginning in 2026. The bans would not be statewide, but would cover all the counties where the EPA says air pollution exceeds ozone attainment standards and threatens the lung and heart health of millions of residents. The ban would affect sales and use in Denver, Douglas, Arapahoe, Jefferson, Adams, Broomfield, Boulder, Weld and the non-mountainous portions of Larimer counties, if approved by the state Air Quality Control Commission after deliberations this fall. Landscape companies objected to the costs of equipment changeovers, the need to train workers, and schedule changes required by battery charging times or resupply, saying the bans could hurt an industry where Latino and other minority ownership is strong. Environmental groups that have been pushing the state to pass sharper restrictions on ozone-causing emissions lauded the RAQC’s recommendation as a great place to start. Small lawn equipment engines burn much dirtier than modern cars, for example, and contribute an inor-

dinate share of Front Range ozone, said Kirsten Schatz, an air pollution specialist with the nonprofit consumer group CoPIRG. “It’s going to accelerate the shift away from the dirtiest gas-powered equipment out there,” Schatz said. “And that’s really important because we know that these tools produce a shocking amount of pollution, and it contributes to asthma and other serious health issues. So freezing them out is one critical way that we as a community can tackle our dirty air problem.” CoPIRG and other groups say that in the smaller push mower and hand-held blower or trimmer categories, highly rated battery models are now widely available that are comparable in price to many gas models, especially when available local government subsidies are factored in. Battery-powered models are not yet widely available in the

lawn tractor and other large categories, thus the RAQC’s focus on bans of sales and use of equipment with less than 25 horsepower ratings. The RAQC’s recommendation, which may first be heard by the AQCC in August, would ban the sale of new gas-powered smaller equipment in the nine-county nonattainment area on Jan. 1, 2025. It would also ban the summertime use of existing gas-powered smaller equipment by institutions or “public entities,” and the private contractors they use, starting June 1, 2025, in the same nonattainment area. And, ban commercial entities from using existing smaller gas-powered equipment during summer months starting June 1, 2026. All of the restrictions apply to internal combustion engines smaller than 25 horsepower. There are exemptions built into the proposal that the RAQC expects the state will honor, including allowing institutional use to prepare for or clean up from emergencies, or for fire mitigation. The EPA in 2008 set national ozone health limits of 75 parts per billion, then revised it further downward in 2015 to 70 ppb. Colorado’s most populous counties have been violating those standards for years, and after some gains have recently moved again in the wrong direction. Colorado air pollution monitoring officials have said gas lawn and garden equipment contributes 2.5 ppb to that total on an average day. (Front Range monitors in recent summers have frequently registered daily highs 80 ppb and above.) Large portions are also blown in from out of state, or created by emissions from oil and gas production — facing multiple rounds of new controls — and vehicles, where rules have been passed to encourage transition to clean electric power. Compared to the other portions of the 70 ppb standard that Colorado has the power to control, lawn and garden equipment now stands out

as an attractive target. Air quality officials say the staggered timing of the proposal will allow manufacturers time to develop larger electric-powered lawn equipment to satisfy commercial and institutional demands, and for homeowners and small businesses to use subsidies to change over their equipment. Still, the Associated Landscape Contractors of Colorado asked the RAQC to consider its moves carefully, warning of potential harm to what it calls a $3 billion industry across the state. “Unlike a homeowner that uses an electric powered leaf blower or mower for less than an hour, in a given week, the landscape industry is operating commercially using this equipment daily, under rigorous conditions and for long durations,” said a statement from the contractors submitted to the RAQC’s public hearing. But RAQC and other officials say that’s the same reason the controls must be extended to commercial operators: Their gas machines are running all day, every day, and contribute more to the ozone problem. Since the homeowner equipment ban is a sales restriction, not a ban on using existing gas equipment, a metro Denver buyer could in theory drive to Colorado Springs outside the nonattainment area and buy a traditional gas mower. But, RAQC spokesperson David Sabados said, “we’re seeing retailers already transitioning to electric, so I don’t think there will be that many gas models that will be available in the greater region anyway.” This story is from The Colorado Sun, a journalist-owned news outlet based in Denver and covering the state.

Recent school year saw little academic recovery, new study finds BY MATT BARNUM CHALKBEAT

There’s been little, if any, progress making up large learning gaps that have emerged since the onset of the pandemic, according to a new analysis of data from the testing group NWEA. In the 2022-23 school year, students learned at a similar or slower rate compared to a typical prepandemic school year, the analysis found. This left intact the substantial learning losses, which have barely budged since the spring of 2021. NWEA offers only one data point based on a subset of American students, and more data from other exams will be needed to produce a clearer picture of academic progress during this last school year. Still, NWEA’s analysis is a concerning indication that the steep learning losses seen since the pandemic have proven difficult to ameliorate and could have lasting consequences for students and the country. The results are “somber and sobering,” said NWEA researcher Karyn Lewis. “Whatever we’re doing, it’s not enough,” she said. “The magnitude of the crisis is out of alignment with the scope and scale of the response and we need to do more.” Since the onset of the COVID pandemic, NWEA, which develops and sells tests to schools, has been measuring students’ progress on math and reading exams in grades three through eight. By the spring of 2021 — according to NWEA and a string of other tests — the typical student was far behind where they would normally be. Test score gaps by race and family income, already yawning, had grown in many cases. This coincided with dramatic disruptions outside and inside schools, including extended virtual instruction. Students were learning during that time — but much more slowly than usual. By the end of the 2021-22 school year, NWEA offered some reason for optimism. Gaps were still there, but students in many grades had started to slowly make up ground. Learning during the school year was back to normal, perhaps even a bit better than normal. State tests also indicated that students were starting to catch up. But NWEA’s results from the most recent school year are more pessimistic. For reasons that aren’t clear, progress stalled out, even reversed. In most grades and subjects, students actually learned at a slightly slower rate than usual. Growth in middle school reading was particularly sluggish. In no grade or subject was there evidence of substantial catch-up this year. Instead, the learning gap this spring was not much different than in the spring of 2021, according to NWEA. Students of all types remain

behind, but NWEA shows that Black and Hispanic students have been hurt somewhat more than white and Asian American students. “This is not what we were hoping to see and it’s not the message we want to be sharing at this time,” said Lewis. “But the data are what they are.” Frustratingly, though, the data does not come with a clear explanation. Schools were beset with challenges this past year: Chronic absenteeism remained at an alarmingly high level in many places. More teachers left the classroom than usual. Educators reported difficulties managing students’ behavior and supporting their mental health. But it’s not clear why there was more progress in the 2021-22 school year, which was also an unusually taxing year in many ways, according to teachers. Lewis said this was puzzling, but speculated that an initial burst of motivation upon returning to school buildings had fizzled. Learning loss recovery efforts have also run into hurdles. Tutoring has reached only a small subset of students. Few districts have extended the school day or year to guarantee all students more learning time. But NWEA researchers cautioned that their data cannot speak directly to the effectiveness or particular recovery efforts or to the federal COVID relief money more generally. “We have no access to the counterfactual of what life would be like right now absent those funds — I think it would be much more dire,” said Lewis. It’s also possible that some combination of out-of-school factors may be driving trends in student learning. Researchers have long noted that a complex array of variables outside of schools’ control matters a great deal for student learning. What the NWEA study does suggest is that students are not on track to catch up to where they would have been if not for the pandemic. Lewis says the takeaway is that policymakers and schools simply aren’t doing enough. “If you give someone half a Tylenol for a migraine and expect them to feel better, that’s just not reality,” she said. NWEA’s analysis is based on data from millions of students in thousands of public schools. Outcomes may not be representative of all students or schools, though, since the exam’s administration is voluntary. NWEA researchers say other data would be helpful to confirm the results. That could come soon: State test results from this year are beginning to emerge and other testing companies will be releasing their own data.

Smart guns hit the market BY DYLAN SIMARD KUNC

At first glance, the Biofire Smart Gun is different from other firearms. The large handgun looks part Halo, part Cyberpunk in design. It’s an appropriate look since the gun is made with new technology ripped straight from science fiction. It’s unlocked biometrically, meaning it can only be activated with an authorized user’s fingerprint or face. That, in turn, means only authorized users can shoot it. Kai Kloepfer is the CEO of the Broomfield-based company Biofire. He said making a gun like this was impossible until very recently. “A lot of the technology we’re using did not exist two years ago, in most cases,” Kloepfer said. Kloepfer began thinking about the smart gun in high school. He grew up in Colorado and remembers the 2012 Aurora theater mass shooting, where 12 were killed. He brought an early design to an international science fair and won first place. More than a decade later his plastic prototype has evolved into a fully functional handgun. “I’ve gotten a chance to be shooting it, handling it. Even got to take one home for a little bit. It’s just been really cool to see something that I only dreamed of like 11 years ago,” Kloepfer said. Experts say putting a computer into a gun is a remarkable feat—a gun’s explosive force once made it unthinkable. But beyond the computer, the gun is unremarkable in its function. Biofire’s smart gun is a semiautomatic 9mm handgun, meaning a user can pull the trigger, a round goes downrange, and a new round is fed into the chamber. It functions exactly like any other handgun of its class and caliber—

and that’s by design. It takes an expert like Bryan Rogers, the lead designer at Biofire, to bring the gun to commercial production. He said the secret to making a reliable smart gun is to enable more than one way to unlock it. “It uses both fingerprint and facial recognition to recognize you as the owner,” Rogers said.” It’s either/ or—whichever one it gets first.” The gun uses a portable dock with a small screen attached to both charge the gun and edit its user permissions. The battery life is considerable—with a full charge, it will be ready to shoot as many as 6 months later. So, a gun that can only be shot by its designated owner is now available for purchase—but does that mean it’s any safer than other guns? Eileen McCarron, president of the gun violence prevention organization Colorado Ceasefire, said this firearm is an improvement— but there are still no safe guns. “The safest thing you can do for your family is to not have a gun,” McCarron said. There’s evidence that the presence of guns makes a home more dangerous. Having a gun in the home leads to a fourfold increase in the risk of suicide, according to a study from Stanford University. But this research didn’t look at smart guns, and it will likely be years before there is enough data to know if a smart gun is a safer alternative to a traditional gun. McCarron remains concerned about the mental states of those in possession of smart guns. “There’s still the issue of suicide for the person who is identifiable by the machine,” McCarron said of smart guns’ user-recognition SEE SMART GUNS, P11

Colorado poll sees concern about cost of living Housing affordability also worries state’s residents BY PARKER YAMASAKI THE COLORADO SUN

Cost of living and housing affordability are the top concerns of Coloradans this year, according to a poll released by the Colorado Health Foundation. In an open-ended question asking participants what they thought the most important issue facing Colorado is right now, 16% answered cost of living and 15% answered housing affordability. Other issues in the top five were government and politics, public safety and crime, and homelessness. About 10% of respondents said that homelessness was their top concern for Colorado, with 79% calling the problem “extremely serious” or “very serious.” The results from the 4th annual survey arrived as Denver’s new mayor, Mike Johnston, declared a state of emergency around homelessness, during his first full day in office. Polling is conducted over one month through phone, email and text invitations, in English and Spanish. This year’s data includes 2,639 respondents across all ages, races and income brackets, with oversamples of Black/African American, Native American/Indigenous, Asian American and Pueblo County residents. One of the cornerstones of CHF is to serve folks with historically less power or privilege, according to Austin Montoya, senior officer for policy advocacy communications, which is why the foundation takes larger samples of specific populations. Montoya said that by

cl o p Sp sampling larger numbers of smaller te populations, they are able to more co accurately reflect the experiences th of those populations. The data is later weighted to reflect Colorado’s gu o population. Since the poll’s inception in 2020, vo the biggest drop in respondents’ top concern was, unsurprisingly, COVID-19, which was top of mind for 26% of Coloradans in 2020, compared with 0% in 2023. The second- and third-largest decreases in concern were political division, down 6 percentage points, and jobs and the economy, down 5. In the past year, Colorado’s job openings and unemployment reached something near equilibrium, so it tracks that anxiety over jobs has fallen since the 2020 polling, when uncertainty was rampant. Homelessness had the largest increase as a top concern since last year, up 3 percentage points, while crime had the largest increase as a top concern over the past four years, up 8 percentage points. Both issues were a major focus for Denver’s mayoral election this year. While most concerns associated with costs — such as rising costs of living, cost of housing and jobs — tended to decline in importance as income levels rose, the percentage of respondents most concerned by homelessness was consistent across income levels. The difference between the lowest and highest income earners concerned with homelessness was only 3 percentage points. Having a home is one major concern; staying in it is another. At the time of polling, renters were significantly more worried about not being able to make rent payments than homeowners were worried about SEE POLL, P11

their mortgages — at a rate of 49% compared with 19% of respondents. However, that number may flip as property owners come to terms with their new, exponentially high valuations, which were issued after the Pulse poll was conducted. Respondents who identified as Native American/Indigenous showed the most concern over losing their homes, with 49% answering that they were worried in this year’s poll, while the Black/African American respondents had the largest increase in those worried, up 16 percentage

technology. The firearms industry has been closely watching the development of smart guns. Mark Oliva, a spokesperson for the National Shooting Sports Foundation, said the new technology does have some people concerned. “We’ve never been opposed to authorized user technology, or smart guns. What we oppose are mandates on that technology,” Oliva said. Some Second Amendment advocates are afraid this technology

points, to 47% from 31% last year. Almost every household with an income below $150,000 was worried about their children being able to afford a home in Colorado. Montoya wants the information gleaned from these polls to help inform policymakers’ priorities. He said the foundation’s primary audience is local lawmakers and legislators. When presented with a number of policy solutions, respondents thought that the most effective ways to mitigate housing cost challenges are to reduce property taxes for homeowners with low or fixed incomes, and to ensure that landlords cannot raise rents on tenants too quickly. The biggest divisions around effec-

tive policy solutions were between Republicans and Democrats in the state, with Independents falling squarely between the parties for every proposed solution. The largest differences between what the parties viewed as effective solutions were requiring developers to build low-income housing — 86% of Democrats thought this would be an effective solution, while only 49% of Republicans agreed — and increasing government investments in programs that prevent people from becoming homeless — 87% of Democrats believed in its effectiveness, while 46% of Republicans agreed. The takeaway from this year’s data, Montoya said, was that it hasn’t

changed much since last year. Montoya believes that Coloradans’ major concerns “skyrocketed” around COVID, and have continued to stay high ever since. “The majority of these worries have increased since 2020, but there hasn’t been much of a decline in any of them. There is really just a plateau,” he said. “And a majority of folks are feeling concerned.”

might one day be mandatory for all guns. There’s no evidence of that yet, though it has been a focus within some state legislatures. New Jersey passed a law requiring stores to carry smart guns once they become available, but Biofire CEO Kai Kloepfer has said he wouldn’t submit the gun for the state’s review – specifically to avoid triggering the law. Overall, the stakes are high for this smart gun from Biofire—and for all smart guns to come. Steve Wolf, a firearms expert in Boulder, is a plaintiff ’s expert witness in a case against Alec Baldwin, after the actor was involved in an accidental firearm-involved death on the set of the film Rust. Wolf believes Biofire is

taking a risk. “If even one or two cases get out where it’s found that someone was unable to protect themselves because the gun didn’t recognize them... I think that’s going to kill the movement for a long time,” Wolf said. The Biofire smart gun doesn’t just prevent unauthorized users inside of the home from using the gun—it also prevents use by strangers. Hundreds of thousands of guns are stolen each year in the United States, and many are used in violent crimes. Wolf said the smart gun might put a dent in that. “It would diminish the ability of criminals to use the gun,” Wolf said. For his part, Wolf hopes Biofire

succeeds. “Everyone wants to see gun safety improved,” Wolf said. “And if this is a step that gets us closer to that, more power to them.” Biofire isn’t having any trouble selling out right now, even though the first guns won’t ship until the end of the year. But whether the technology is here to stay is still anyone’s guess. Firearms history is littered with technology that never caught on—but that history is also filled with innovations that changed the world.

Immigrant rights groups allege increased, arbitrary use of solitary confinement at ICE detention center in Aurora BY TATIANA FLOWERS THE COLORADO SUN

Three immigrant rights organizations have filed a complaint with the Department of Homeland Security demanding an investigation into what they say is the increased and arbitrary use of solitary confinement at the Denver Contract Detention Facility in Aurora. The American Immigration Council, the National Immigration Project and the Rocky Mountain Immigrant Advocacy Network filed the complaint on behalf of people who are currently in the detention center or were recently housed there. The facility, owned and operated by GEO Group Inc., is where the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency holds people who have pending or recently concluded immigration cases. Most held there are seeking asylum or protection from torture in their home countries and are typically awaiting hearings in immigration court, said Laura Lunn, director of advocacy and litigation at Rocky Mountain Immigrant Advocacy Network. The complaint states people with disabilities are disproportionately impacted by the overuse of solitary

confinement at the facility. It alleges a pattern of placing people at risk of self-harm in isolation to inflict punishment and gain control rather than providing a safe environment and adequate medical and mental health care. The complaint also alleges that GEO Group has failed to ensure professional conduct by its staff and that ICE and GEO Group have jeopardized the health and safety of all people detained there including those who have survived assault and fear violence. The complaint, which includes interviews with eight people identified by pseudonyms, calls on the Department of Homeland Security to end a contract between ICE and GEO Group, release the people detained there and permanently close the facility. At a minimum, the complainants said, they are asking DHS to promptly investigate the use of solitary confinement and the incidents reported in the complaint, and probe whether the facility is complying with ICE policies before recommending corrective actions for staff. “Under no circumstances is assignment in a special management unit used in a retaliatory manner

or without careful adherence to the performance-based national detention standards and the ICE notification procedures,” a GEO spokesman wrote in an email. “As a service provider to a federal agency, GEO is required to meet DHS policies and standards and plays no role in creating them.” To ensure that violations described in the complaint don’t occur at other detention centers, the immigration groups are also asking ICE to end the use of solitary in all the facilities it contracts with and implement stricter measures of accountability for the locations that violate these obligations. “ICE is responsible for the safety of detained individuals, which it has repeatedly demonstrated it cannot provide,” said Rebekah Wolf, senior policy counsel at the American Immigration Council. “The egregious use of solitary confinement is detrimental to detained individuals’ mental and physical well-being,” she said. “The misuse and overuse of solitary confinement leaves people in detention fearful to report safety concerns for fear of its punitive use, and without recourse to protect themselves.” Steve Kotecki, a spokesman for the agency’s Denver field office, said he would not comment on specific allegations detailed in the complaint. ICE takes allegations of misconduct seriously and staff are required to abide by company policies that outline professional and ethical behavior, he said. When a complaint is received, it is investigated, he said. ICE encourages filing complaints about detention facilities by calling 888-351-4024, he added. ICE is committed to ensuring people in its custody live in safe and humane environments under appropriate conditions of confinement, Kotecki added. However, growing research shows solitary confinement is ineffective, dangerous and inhumane and leads to new or worsening mental health conditions. In the worst cases, prolonged isolation also leads to self-harm and suicide. “When Biden ran for office he pledged to end the use of solitary confinement in the criminal setting and he issued an executive order in May 2022, on this issue,” said Ann Garcia, a staff attorney at the National Immigration Project. “From our perspective, his urgency to end the use and overuse of solitary confinement in the criminal setting certainly should extend to civil immigration settings.” The complaint in July follows a different one that was filed in April 2022, which alleged racial discrimination, excessive force and retaliation against two Black immigrants housed at the ICE detention center

in Aurora. “We haven’t seen any response about any of the group complaints that we have filed out of Aurora,” Lunn said. Numerous complaints about medical and neglect and inadequate care for people held at GEO have been filed with DHS, according to the complaint. Since 2012, three people detained have died at the Aurora facility. The deaths were avoidable and stemmed from poor medical care provided by GEO Group, the contractor providing health services, according to the complaint. After Evalin-Ali Mandza died in 2012, an ICE contractor review found medical staff were unfamiliar with the organization’s chest pain protocol, that appropriate cardiac medicine was not given to Mandza while he was having a heart attack and that the long length of time it took to get him to a hospital all may have contributed to his death, according to the complaint. The ICE Office of Professional Responsibility’s review of Kamyar Samimi’s death at the detention center in 2017 found medical staff did not fully comply with several of its standards, such as maintaining an adequate number of medical staff and providing an on-call doctor with whom nurses could consult. Staff also failed to seek emergency care for Samimi after the only full-time physician followed GEO policy and ordered that Samimi be cut off from the methadone he had been legally taking for 20 years. He was held in solitary confinement in the medical unit for the last 16 days of his life, according to the complaint. On June 4, 2018, immigration organizations filed a complaint about the Aurora facility’s failure to provide adequate medical and mental health care. And on June 11, 2019, the organizations filed a supplement to the former complaint highlighting the experiences of five additional people. Melvin Calero Mendoza died at the Aurora facility on Oct. 13, 2022, from a pulmonary embolism that likely stemmed from a toe injury he sustained while playing soccer, which was left untreated for months. Recent interviews with people who have been detained there confirm that the agency continues to fall short of meeting ICE detention standards, the complaint states. “It is important to highlight that this is happening in the state of Colorado, a place that works diligently to provide a welcoming and hospitable refuge to immigrants, migrants, and refugees,” Lunn said. “This complaint underscores that our local and state governments cannot prevent this type of harmful treatment as long as ICE operates in our communities.”

Does all the lush green grass make sense in our semi-arid region?

s I drive by each morning on such Westminster arterial streets as Sheridan Boulevard, Federal Boulevard and Wadsworth ParkCROSS way, I cannot help but notice the many CURRENTS sprinkler systems spraying at full tilt. They provide life-giving water to keep the lush, green grass healthy and growing in front of many commercial buildings. When you Bill Christopher add up all that water used for at least four months out of the calendar year, you are looking at a significant amount of treated water. A rule of thumb shows 40% or more of all residential water con-

sumption is used simply for lawn and landscape irrigation each year. Standing at the top of the list of water consumers is the City of Westminster, which probably is not a surprise. With so many parks, streetscapes and lawns by city facilities, it would be a good guess. I know this issue has been raised before and debated previously, but when I see all the morning irrigation systems spraying away it gave me pause. Aren’t we smarter than our current practices on water conservation — or the lack there of? Couldn’t the city be a better “role model” for all of us who own residential or commercial property and cut back on turf irrigation? Some degree of xeriscape wouldn’t hurt! Besides, shouldn’t city officials “walk the talk?” Other cities have rolled out changes to irrigating city-

owned properties or a future ban in at least one city on building more golf courses. Westminster is not a trend-setter on this important issue. Don’t get complacent based on historic May-June moisture

I realize the hefty amount of rainfall of May and June along with the generous amount of high mountain snowpack can be seducing when thinking about future water planning. However, it could well be an anomaly. Predicting the weather in Colorado is at best a tricky science. The 6.1 inches of rainfall in Denver during June set a record going back to 1872. May 2023 was the fourth wettest May on record, with its 5.53 inches. While such moisture was manna from Heaven (except for the spotty flooding), don’t assume the same

thing will happened next year or the year after that. We have seen the expected consequences of such sizable amounts of moisture. Denver Water System demand for June was 37% less than a 52 year average. It was the smallest overall June use since 1969 when 540,000 fewer people were on the Denver water system. My point is that we should continue to be conservative in future water forecasts and continue to implement water conservation measures which are the least “touchy” politically. For example, requiring commercial properties to remove, say, 30%-50% of their front turf and put down xeriscape materials or simply colorful aggregate would be a possibility.

Handling the turbulence of life

ith over 2 million miles flown, I have experienced a lot of turbulence during those flights. Last month my wife and I were WINNING on a flight and for the most part it WORDS was a fairly smooth flight. However, during our descent the plane was violently rocked and had we not had our seatbelts on, we would have been tossed from Michael Norton our seats. In all my years of flying that was definitely the toughest turbulence that I had ever experienced. Over the years I have had the opportunity to sit next to many captains and pilots. As we would fly through the turbulence, they would provide calming assurances that the planes are built to handle the turbulence and the pilots are trained to fly us through safely. That has given me such great comfort over the years, a comfort that I tried passing along to some of the nervous flyers I have had sitting next to me.

A publication of

On one such flight as we were flying from Denver to Albuquerque, the turbulence was bad the entire flight as the pilot couldn’t find an altitude where the air was smooth. The woman sitting next to me literally squeezed my forearm the entire flight, and I had never met her before. I didn’t mind and tried to assure her of the safety by sharing the stories pilots have shared with me, but she still held on for dear life. Just last week I was flying on a Dreamliner, a massive airplane and super comfortable. The flight was full, and as we went through our ascent, the plane hit a pocket of turbulence and gave us a fairly good bounce up and down. There were a few quick screams and gasps, but there was another sound I heard, children laughing. The plane went through a little more bumpiness before finding smoother air and with each bump and drop of the plane, the children continued to squeal as if they were on an amusement park ride. I believe their laughter and relaxed attitude served to calm the nerves of others who didn’t find the turbulence so amusing. Life is full of turbulence, isn’t it?

It just seems that every single day we are at odds with one another over something. The turbulence of politics, of cancel culture, of societal pressures, and just overall discontent and disagreements brewing everywhere. Sometimes the turbulence is frightening as it escalates and becomes fierce. And sometimes the turbulence is slight, but still enough to cause us some fear, worry, and doubt. It has been said that our character isn’t defined by what happens to us, it is defined by how we handle what happens to us. The turbulence happening in the world doesn’t define who we are, how we respond to the turbulence is a much better barometer of who we are. Sometimes we have to just buckle up, fastening our seatbelts and riding out the turbulence as it will eventually smooth out. Other times we may need to hold onto one another, supporting and encouraging each other as we fight our way through the turbulence. And then maybe we can look at the silliest things that feel like turbulence and like the children on the airplane, laugh our way through it. There are plenty of real-world

problems that we face as a society, and we should pay attention to those and become as informed as possible, focusing on the facts instead of opinions and rants of others. It just seems like there is much more noise and turbulence around the silliest and smallest things that get us so worked up. For me, in these situations, my go-to response is laughter, as it really keeps me focused on the more important things in life. How do you handle the turbulence? Do you buckle up and ride it out? Do you hold on to others? Or do you decide that the best response is to smile and laugh it off?

need to be adjusted accordingly, but in the long run such changes could be a strong contributor to freeing up additional treated water. Perhaps the city would even chip in a cash incentive or a credit on future water bills. They currently pay for removing a certain amount of turf. Let’s not be complacent! Back to normal now that the Swifties have left

Whew, I was worn out just watching all the Taylor Swift video clips on the news and the high energy the Mile High City experienced while the Swifties were in town for her two concerts. I enjoyed seeing all the younger people get so pumped up and enthused with Taylor Swift returning to Denver. She truly is an amazing young entertainer and individual. We thank all of the Swifties for dropping $140 million in Denver/ suburbs while in town. It gave the retailers, hotels, restaurants, bars and more a nice shot in the arm. Plus, the sale of Taylor Swift merchandise had to generate at least a bagilion dollars! Thanks for coming and we hope to see you back in another five years. Also, Taylor’s contribution of 75,000 meals for people with food insecurity is much appreciated. Oh, and did we go to one of the concerts? No, my banker wouldn’t loan me the money for tickets, a Swiftie T-shirt and a Slurpee. A smart move would be to do some polling

As was previously stated and has been demonstrated via Governor Polis’ actions, his push to implement his “affordable housing plan” isn’t going away. While he knows

the opposition from just about every Colorado municipality, he is head strong on seeking authority to dictate putting in apartment density developments along with accessory dwelling units of 3-4 dwelling units. All of this is under the banner of making homes affordable for every family, which is absurd.This would be regardless of what local comprehensive land use plans would allow. Last month, he showed up at the Colorado Municipal League conference and more or less lectured the city officials in attendance on why his plan is needed. With the fight to be replayed at the state legislature in January, it might be smart if local government officials did some polling to fortify their positions as well as show the governor he is barking up the wrong tree. Certainly, there is sufficient time to hire pollsters and get reliable results. What’s the best way to get grass roots opinions?

First of all, not every town or city is going to want to spend their local General Fund dollars on such polling. While this is a statewide issue, future growth will vary from city to city with more need likely in the Denver-Boulder metro area, Colorado Springs, Grand Junction and Pueblo. Regardless, polling results would be helpful in guiding elected officials on perhaps “fine-tuning” their respective stances on the governor’s plan. New insight via polling could possibly help in working out compromises on parts of the previous ill-fated plan. Each town or city and county could do its own survey. A more consolidated approach could be for the Colorado Municipal League and Colorado Counties, Inc. to each commission its own surveys. In the alternative, the two state wide organizations could do a single survey which meets the needs of cities and counties.

Whichever way makes the most sense and cents, the important thing is to do a reliable opinion survey in time for the next “round” of proposed legislative bills. As a P.S., if done soon enough, the results could be helpful to incumbent candidates running for reelection on the issue of more growth, more apartments and how best to use water resources. I think such a survey would especially be helpful to the Boulder City Council and Adams County Commissioner Eva Henry. Boulder’s Council was the only city to go on record supporting Polis’ plan and Henry was among the few who favored it as well. Sheridan Green school transition process continues

The first public session to gain input on potential futures uses of the building was held on June 7 with a healthy 180 people in attendance. The next session will be in sometime in August. Main feedback focused

on a community center, recreation center, learning center, library, children’s recreation center, church, affordable preschool, daycare, after school care, hub for home-schooled children, summer camps and senior center and more. Clearly, participants did not want a homeless shelter or commercial uses. Comments will be taken until August 1 on the city’s Sheridan Green web page. These are all good ideas. The key will be remodeling costs and ongoing operating costs. I still think a portion of the building would be ideal for an archival center to preserve Westminster’s history working with the Westminster Historical Society.

BUILDING BOOKISH COMMUNITIES BY MCKENNA HARFORD MHARFORD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

hrough the window in her kitchen, Sam

Monson occasionally catches glimpses of neighbors and visitors who stop to peruse the books in her little free library on the Tucker Gulch trail in Golden. Sometimes it’s a biker taking a break or children playing on the slide Monson set up next to the library or a fellow reader refilling the book selection. These moments never fail to make her smile. “It brings me just a ton of joy to see people enjoying it and enjoying the space,” Monson said. “I think it’s also enriched my kids’ love and appreciation for literature because they get so excited about finishing a book and passing it on.” Monson built her library in 2017 and registered it with Little Free Library, a Minnesota-based nonprofit that aims to increase access to literature by providing blueprints and guides to build community libraries, as well as mapping registered libraries across the country. Hundreds of little free libraries have popped up across the Denver metro area as their popularity proliferates. Monson said she was inspired to build her library after visiting others with her 11-year-old twins Tommy and Luci, who are avid readers. “I really believe in the importance of building community and connection for wellness, so I thought it was a great way to build community shortly after we moved to Golden,” she said. “So it was their love of reading and my want to build community that made it happen.” Since the library is on a bike and walking path, it’s not accessible by car, so Monson took advantage of the unique environment by adding a bench, a slide and fairy gardens around the library to make it an inviting spot for visitors.

“We wanted to create a space for people to pause and enjoy the green belt that we’re on and the bike path is on,” she said. “Especially through covid, it was a way that I felt like we could put wellness out in the world with something as healthy as reading that creates a mindful, peaceful experience, but also gets them outside and active.” Monson said the library quickly became self-sustaining once it opened and has since become a fixture in the community. “People often comment to thank us or leave notes,” she said. “It’s like an identity of our family, which we love.” On top of being a way to build community, little free libraries improve access to literature. Unite for Literacy, a publishing company that tracks book deserts, estimates only a third of Colorado homes have more than 100 books. Amber DeBerry, Director of Community Engagement for Douglas County Libraries, said improving access to reading materials, whether that’s books, magazines, journals or comics, is important because reading benefits everyone. “If you have access to books prior to the age of five, your success rates in school drastically increase,” DeBerry said. “For people who don’t have the opportunity or ability to purchase books, libraries are an incredible community asset.” In Dianne Shantz’s neighborhood in Adams County, she noticed there weren’t nearly as many little free libraries as more affluent areas of Denver, so Shantz built one in 2021. Shantz used a thrifted coffee table and an old kitchen counter with a repurposed fireplace door to create a weatherproof library and food pantry near her community’s shared mailbox, which provides steady foot traffic. “I’m proud to say (the library) is self-sustaining because it shows that there was a need there, and that’s true of the pantry too,” she said. Shantz said she enjoys having opportunities to share her love of reading and tries to stock the library with books she knows her visitors will read. “Being new to the neighborhood, it’s given me a chance to meet my neighbors,” she said. “A lot of Hispanic people live in the area, so I try to include Spanish books. One lady likes Danielle Steel, so I put those in when I can.” For Kate Garland, a graduate of Castle View High School in Castle Rock, building a little free library was a way to memorialize her friend and fellow student Brooke Adams, who died in April. Garland met Adams through the school book club she started and they bonded over reading. “Brooke and I both loved the ‘The Summer I Turned Pretty’ series by Jenny Han and somebody donated the entire set so we made sure that those were in there,” Garland said. “Some of Brooke’s other friends also picked booked they thought she would like.” When Adams died, Garland worked with Adams’ family, school officials, the school’s Technology Students Association and book club members to build the library and host a book drive to fill it. Materials for the library were donated by the local Ace Hardware and community members donated more than 1,000 books during the drive. “The community support around it and the continuing book donations have been really rewarding for me and the book club and the TSA members who helped,” she said. As Garland heads to Arapahoe Community College, the stewardship of the library will pass on to other students in the book club. “We wanted to make sure it would keep going, even after I’m gone,” she said.

People with hypoxia brave high elevations BY DAN ENGLAND THE COLORADO SUN

Chantelle Shoaee will have a question for you if you decide to visit her: “What kind of car do you drive?” Unless you’re one of her buds, perhaps one of her Hypoxic Hikers, the reason she’s asking may shock you. Rough mountain roads, the kind that flummox those who don’t drive Subarus — and yes, there are a few — lead to the little base camp where she lives and runs Always Choose Adventures. Shoaee lives at 10,000 feet in a rural spot above Idaho Springs. She also has hypoxia, a condition defined by low levels of oxygen in the body. Doctors tell hypoxic patients to move out of Colorado. At Denver’s elevation, around 5,280 feet, there’s 20% less oxygen than at sea level. Whenever she’s walking around, Shoaee receives oxygen through a tube in her nose, called a cannula. She punctuates her sentences with puffs from her tank that sound like a gasp. Oxygen is as much of a treasure to her as the gold from the long-closed mine on her land. And yet, she lives at twice the elevation of Denver, a space so devoid of O2 that most flatlanders have trouble sleeping. It seems like a mismatch, like a

penguin wobbling through a desert. And yet, Shoaee climbs 14ers at speeds that would smoke a weekend peakbagger. She wears a backpack comfortably and even helped design a pack being developed by Osprey, a Cortezbased gear company that specializes in hydration bladder vests and packs for bikers, hikers and ultrarunners. Shoaee’s pack fits oxygen tanks. The innovation could be a boon for hikers tethered to a cannula: Most of them are anchored to heavy oxygen tanks or concentrators.

body, balanced by a pair of powerful thighs, shakes with good-natured laughter when someone asks why the hell she lives so high. “Look around,” she answers. She doesn’t care that she lives in a small trailer, or that the property needs a lot of work, or that the roads that lead to it could overturn a Jeep. She’s immensely proud of where she lives, even though she knows, one day, she will have to leave. Until then, Shoaee wants to run her organization, Always Choose Adventures, which helps people of all ages, backgrounds and, most importantly, physical abilities, experience the outdoors. She and her Hypoxic Homies, a group of hikers like her, all acknowledge their limitations the condition puts on them, but they don’t want to be limited by any kind of assumptions about their ability, or medical insurance, or misdiagnoses. There are more than you might think: Shoaee puts severe limits on the money she makes so she can stay on Medicaid, which pays for her portable oxygen. Her place was affordable because it was in poor condition, and because she sold her townhome, buoyed by the skyrocketing market. Quite frankly, it looks like a bargain, even if the land around it looks priceless. “I live in poverty,” she says, “so I can breathe.” On doctor’s orders, Shoaee’s parents kept her inside when she was a kid. She was born with tracheoesophageal fistula, an abnormal connection between the esophagus and the trachea, and low-functioning lungs. She felt a void that wasn’t filled until she founded Always Choose Adventures and sought treatment with National Jewish Hospital, where doctors told her her birth defects were never addressed properly: Her trachea collapses up to 90% of the time. They put her on oxygen to use while adventuring and it’s made all the difference. She’s still hypoxic, but she believes many other Coloradans are, too, and don’t realize it. We all need oxygen, and without enough of it, we get

confused, restless and anxious, and have bluish skin, a rapid heart rate and difficulty breathing. Breathing problems can cause hypoxia, but it isn’t limited to them. Shoaee tells story after story of visitors who come from sea level and don’t feel right. Colorado’s thin air isn’t kind to those who are accustomed to drawing in gluttonous gulps of oxygen with every breath. Just the other day, she checked the oxygen levels of a visitor by using a finger sensor. “She was hypoxic as f---,” Shoaee said, using one of her favorite phrases. Many others with asthma struggle here, Shoaee said, and even those seemingly in good health may wonder why they’re anxious all the time and don’t sleep well. They’re probably hypoxic, Shoaee said. Colorado is a hard place to live. The condition is more common now after the pandemic. One of Shoaee’s best friends, one of her Hypoxic Homies, is Audra Lilly, who works as a pediatric nurse practitioner. She was diagnosed with lupus in 2015 when she was living in Dallas. Exercise helped lube her joints: The more she did it, the better she felt. She moved to Littleton to be in a place where she could do outdoor activities all the time. She took up trail running and felt better than she had in years. “I needed a place where I could be outdoors all the time and live a healthy lifestyle,” Lilly said. “Dallas wasn’t that.” But her job left her susceptible to the pandemic, and sure enough, she got COVID-19 in November 2020. It ravaged her body, forcing her into the hospital for weeks. At one point, doctors asked her if life support was OK. She refused, preferring to battle it on her own, as she did with lupus. Lupus can be as mean as COVID: Her joints stiffened in her hospital bed, so she dragged her huge oxygen tank behind her and walked around her room. She now uses oxygen to hike and run, though not as much as she used to. She met Shoaee in a hypoxia support group on Facebook. “When I asked for advice on hiking and running, people would tell me not to do it, especially doctors,” Lilly, 41, said, “but Chantelle was like, ‘I’ll go with you!’” Yes, Lilly sees the irony in moving to a state because of health problems and now may need to leave it one day because of health problems. But she is determined to stay as long as she can. “Honestly, when I put my oxygen in, it goes away,” Lilly said. “I’m getting back to where I was before this happened.” Doctors at first diagnosed Lilly with anxiety. It’s a common misdiagnosis among those with hypoxia, SEE HYPOXIA, P20

State offers free community college for prospective early childhood teachers BY ANN SCHIMKE CHALKBEAT COLORADO

Colorado residents interested in early childhood and five other highdemand careers can get training for free starting this fall at more than a dozen community colleges around the state. It’s part of a new $40 million state program called Career Advance Colorado that’s intended to mint thousands of workers in shortage areas. Besides early childhood education, the program will cover tuition, course materials, and fees for up to two years of training for students studying education, construction, law enforcement, nursing, and fire and forestry. “All these fields are in need of great folks to fill jobs that are open today and that are critical for our state’s success,” said Gov. Jared Polis in a recorded announcement about Career Advance. The program is open to new students and those currently enrolled in one of the six target areas. For those already enrolled, the state will pay for their remaining coursework.

HYPOXIA FROM PAGE 18

and an understandable one, given that the two are connected: Not being able to breathe causes anxiety. Anxiety can also cause breathing problems such as hyperventilation. That’s a problem because doctors have to write a prescription for oxygen, said Mike Goldblatt, 67, of Evergreen. Goldblatt is hypoxic and doctors don’t know why. He was an arborist and guided fly-fishing trips and hikes. He also coaches and chases around his grandkids and plays golf and music in a band. Evergreen is at 7,400 feet and Goldblatt has no desire to move. Oxygen, which he uses when he’s active, makes his life far more normal than it would be otherwise. “It feels a lot better,” Goldblatt said. But it irks him that oxygen is only available with a prescription. Patients also generally must choose between the portable tanks they use to hike and the large tanks that anchor many patients to their homes, Goldblatt said.

A new Colorado program will cover the cost of community college for students seeking PHOTO BY ANDREA MORALES FOR CHALKBEAT early childhood credentials.

The offer of free training for prospective early childhood employees comes amid an ongoing shortage of child care and preschool teachers that’s led to shuttered classrooms at some centers. The need for qualified staff has become even more pressing as Colorado prepares to launch a major expansion of tuition-free preschool in August. More than 31,000 4-year-olds are expected to participate.

Career Advance is the latest effort by state policymakers to beef up the anemic pipeline of early childhood teachers. In recent years, the state used COVID stimulus money to pay for two introductory early childhood classes for hundreds of college students. It also offered scholarship and apprenticeship programs for students seeking early childhood credentials. In Colorado, where the median

“We are staying active,” Goldblatt said, referring to the hypoxic hiking group, “but 90% or more pulling oxygen aren’t. They don’t realize they can get out.” Insurance, he said, tends to restrict patients from portable tanks or limit them to a few per month, unless they fight. Medicaid doesn’t do this, at least for Shoaee, which is why she restricts her lifestyle to stay on it. “Safety is what they call it,” Goldblatt said, “but it comes down to money.” These are things that won’t be solved soon. But there are issues Shoaee believes she can address now. Carrying oxygen is a problem. A couple years ago she began talking to Osprey about designing a backpack specifically for oxygen carriers. “The kinking is the most annoying part,” Lilly said. “Chantelle, can you fix my tube? I’ve already been kinked up twice today.” Kinking, of course, restricts oxygen flow, and the tubes get tangled. Lilly has a story about her tubes getting tangled while on a ski lift. She eventually had to be carried down by ski patrol because she needed the oxygen boost at the high elevation. “I was so embarrassed,” she said.

Tanks are heavy, with the mobile tanks weighing up to 15 pounds. The tanks alone make a daypack weigh more than if it were stuffed with overnight gear. The Osprey backpack, Shoaee said, solves both issues. There are holes in the pack where hypoxic hikers can thread, and therefore secure, their tubes, and the bottom of the pack has more padding as well as straps to hold the tank in place and distribute the weight evenly. The final version should be out by the end of the year. The pack is an affirmation that people are paying attention. “It will be life-changing for people on oxygen,” Shoaee said. “We aren’t saying you have to hike a 14er. You can walk around the block now. This makes it possible. There’s so much annoying stuff about this illness. A backpack shouldn’t be one of them.” Shoaee founded Always Choose Adventures because of her experiences, but the organization tries to break down barriers for all kinds of marginalized groups in the outdoors, not just the hypoxic. Gerry Roach, the mountain master and author of many guide books, including iconic versions for the 14ers,

preschool teacher wage is around $15.25 an hour, it’s hard to make a living in the early childhood field. The cost of college classes or student loan debt makes the barrier to entry even higher. State officials and advocates recently have taken tentative steps towards addressing the field’s abysmal pay. As part of an effort to pay preschool teachers a living wage, the state pays a higher per-student rate in the new universal preschool program than it pays public schools for each K-12 student. In addition, the state recently unveiled a report recommending a series of statewide early childhood salary scales that would significantly boost pay. For example, the suggested rate would be at least $22 an hour for early childhood teachers in metro Denver and some mountain communities. The salary scales are not binding for preschool and child care providers, but show what workers in different regions would need to earn to make a living wage. Chalkbeat is a nonprofit news site covering educational change in public schools. the Centennials, Rocky Mountain National Park and the Indian Peaks, is the board president. But she hopes to use her talents to raise awareness about hypoxia and maybe one day solve some of the other issues oxygen carriers must face when they venture outdoors. “Could we do a hypoxic 14ers day?” she asks her group. First, though, she wants to go on a little hike to a lake near her property. The path is steep — at one point she protests to her friends when they leave some distance between them and her — but eventually they do reach the top. She puts her hands on her knees. It’s hard to live so high up, but the views are spectacular, and the air is fresh. She straightens up and breathes it in.

SPREADING THE WORD ABOUT AGRICULTURE BY BELEN WARD BWARD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Tymberlynn Rose Wiedemann said she grew up in the shadow of the Adams County fair and always had her eye on the fair royalty – although she wasn’t sure what they did. “It wasn’t up until I was in high school, I was in the Future Farmers of America FFA Organization, which is an agriculture youth organization, so being part of that organization, we were around the fair lot. I actually got to talk to the fair queens and realized they are advocates for the agriculture industry,” Wiedemann said. Now it’s her turn on the fair’s throne. After a year as the 2022 fair’s Lady In Waiting, Wiedemann,19, was selected as the 2023 Adams County Fair Queen. “I graduated in 2022, and I’m so fortunate. I was able to come from Brighton High School and I get to represent my county; it’s wonderful,” Wiedemann said. Wiedemann said as a Future Farmers of America member, they teach students about the agricultural industry but need to learn how to promote it and educate people.

“I realized this is a way to serve my community, and follow a passion in the agricultural industry,” Wiedemann said. “These women royalty state titleholders are not just a pretty face that represents the county. When you talk to these women, they are very intelligent. They know horsemanship, agriculture, rodeo and the fair they’re representing.” Wiedemann said FFA, 4-H, and the fair for kids’ is essential. “You don’t have to be in a local 4-H or in agriculture or come from the city,” she said. “You can I can sign up and it’s something that is really fun. My FFA department at high school not everyone was an agriculture kid and some grew up in the subdivision or apartments. So sitting in Ag class they realized they too can be a part of this industry.” Wiedemann said the FFA classes at the high school taught kids how to start a small project or grow a garden, educating them about the industry without even realizing it. “Even the kids that are not working members in the agricultural industry when someone ask them a question, they can tell them about growing and harvesting in a ﬁeld,” Wiedemann said. “The programs are incredible. It not just for kids its regular everyday people that can sit in those classes and those

organizations and be involved in the work.” Wiedemann is attending Colorado State University, majoring in Agricultural Education and minoring in Agricultural Literacy. She chose to stay close to home because it allows her to give back to the organization. “I learned so much value and what our industry really means. I hope I’m able to come back and grow the next generation of agriculturalists. A lot of times, industries can slowly die, and generations will leave if you have people that aren’t willing to ﬁght for this organization industry that is slowly dying, and you need to have people that are knowledgeable about the industry and want to learn about it and work for it to last for the future,” Wiedemann said. If she has her way, she’ll be involved in agriculture for the rest of her life. “I hope to stay in the agriculture industry, whether it is classroom teaching, working in a position with agriculture, or work as legislator. I want to continue to be a voice for this industry representing the agriculture and Western industry in a public matter, talking to people. If I can continue to do that into adulthood, I would love that,” Wiedemann said.

include shorter papers. They also receive extra academic support, hang out with peer mentors who help them get involved on campus and adapt to living on their own, intern and gain work experience, and connect with local vocational rehabilitation services through which a counselor gives them ongoing employment support after graduation. Laing has seen inclusive college programs completely reroute students with intellectual disabilities, with several graduates continuing to live independently, earning better pay in more meaningful careers and deepening friendships in their own social circles. “It’s showing what happens when we raise the bar,” Laing said. “For students with intellectual disabilities, they do get to reach it. They are capable of those things, and I think our culture has just never chosen to raise the bar, and once we do, we see them really excel and, yes, struggle and have battles along the way, but they persevere.” Nineteen students with intellectual disabilities have graduated from UCCS since 2016 with another 20 students currently enrolled, studying a wide range of disciplines including criminal justice, teaching, library studies, life sciences, sports management, film editing and human services. Students with intellectual disabilities who take classes through the university get support from the Office of Inclusive Services, completing 72 credits over four years — three classes each semester — and seeking out internships both on and off campus. They also must attend social events of their

Shannon Murphy grew up being told what she couldn’t do, what she wasn’t capable of and what kinds of opportunities weren’t hers to pursue. Adults around her mapped out her future. Even her own case manager steered her away from higher education. College wasn’t a possibility for a student with a learning disability like her, Murphy remembers being warned. “For like 21 years of my life, I didn’t think I was actually a person because I had a disability and I wasn’t an equal because I had a disability,” Murphy said. “I thought it was a curse that I had what I have, and that’s 100% not true, but that’s just unfortunately how I thought.” Now, at age 25, Murphy has shattered the expectations of those who once insisted college was out of her reach, graduating from the University of Northern Colorado’s Go On and Learn program in 2022 and working as a paraprofessional in her hometown, Grand Junction. Murphy, who has a genetic disease known as incontinentia pigmenti, is one of 44 students with intellectual disabilities to have graduated from a Colorado college or university since 2020 through a growing movement to open up more higher education opportunities for students with intellectual disabilities, such as Down syndrome and autism. “I personally believe anyone can do anything,” Murphy said. “You just have to have the mindset to do it.” Colorado’s first inclusive program started in 2016, making the state one of the last to introduce higher education specifically for people with intellectual disabilities — the first inclusive program in the state started in 2016. Four

puses and plans to help two other institutions in rural Colorado form their own programs in the next year. The nonprofit will open its next application cycle in January. “We found that the rural communities really experienced lots of fear with sending their child over the mountain or over the hill, as they say,” Laing said. “And so we realized that there was lots of limitation for those students in those pockets of Colorado, and when we talk with disability service providers out there, the ongoing message is, there’s not enough services in our area. Our students are struggling. Transition programs are struggling. We don’t know what to do with them after they graduate.” Students who graduate from an inclusive higher education program in the state spend between two and four years in college studying whatever fields most interest them and earn what’s called a comprehensive higher education certificate, which indicates they completed modified coursework and reflects their transcript, Laing said. That certificate isn’t on par with an associate’s or a bachelor’s degree, she noted, but it is a formal certificate approved by a higher education institution that documents a student’s course of study and the skills they’ve developed. Colorado students enrolled in inclusive programs navigate through higher education in many of the same ways as any college student. They rush sororities and fraternities. They live independently in apartments and attend social events on campus. They take classes with typical peers, participating in class discussions and completing assignments, often with adaptations that might

institutions of higher education — UNC, Arapahoe Community College, the University of Colorado Colorado Springs and Regis University — now offer such programs, which disability advocates will build on with a new round of state funding that will fuel a grant program aimed at developing more inclusive programs statewide, particularly in rural parts of Colorado where students with disabilities face an especially limited set of options after high school. “The language that you hear from families is it feels like a cliff,” said Shayna Laing, community engagement manager of IN! Pathways to Higher Education, a Colorado-based nonprofit that directs families and special needs educators to higher education programs designed for students with intellectual disabilities. “So in an ideal world, they’re going to be connected to these state services like a community center board. That’s where they would get their primary case manager to help them figure out ways that they can participate in the community, but a lot of our students in reality end up on their parents’ couch right after K-12. They feel like there’s not a lot of options for them.” And many jobs available to those students are “pretty simplistic in nature,” with positions in grocery stores, for example, Laing noted, “so it feels like this big dropoff and like there’s nothing to do afterwards.” IN! Pathways to Higher Education helped roll out pilot programs at UNC, UCCS and Arapahoe Community College after the legislature in 2016 designated $250,000 in state funding each year for five years. After that funding sunsetted in fiscal year 202021, lawmakers created a grant program with legislation during this year’s session, allocating $450,000 each year for five years to further expand higher education opportunities for students with intellectual disabilities. IN! Pathways to Higher Education, which is distributing the grant funding, has partnered with Colorado State University and Metropolitan State University of Denver to bring inclusive higher education programs to their cam-

choice to round out their college experience. Each student receives help plotting their schedule, which includes time for homework, exercise at the campus recreation center and responsibilities in their apartment. And the Office of Inclusive Services pairs them with another undergraduate student who acts as a peer mentor to help them get to class, finish homework, go to social events and tackle chores at home. The office also swoops in if students start falling behind in class, teaches them budgeting skills and offers a driver’s education program through which four students have secured a driver’s license. “The growth is amazing,” said Christi Kasa, a professor in the College of Education in the Department of Teaching and Learning. “Students learn to have a voice in their life, and that is the biggest difference we see, is they learn to direct their life and talk about what they want their life to be like. And that’s what we want. People need support in whatever way they need it. We want students to be as independent as they can, but more importantly we want them to have the autonomy to say, ‘This is what I want my life to look like,’ and then ask for help to get there.” CSU has a history of educating students who have a learning disability

or who need special accommodations and is branching out to specifically incorporate students with intellectual disabilities on campus. The Fort Collins campus this spring debuted a pilot program with a cohort of three students — called Ram scholars — all interested in studying agricultural sciences, whether they want to learn about growing crops and plants or caring for animals. The program, which has carried into the summer with an agricultural internship for six students, began with funding from Larimer County toward developing a workforce innovation program for people with intellectual disabilities, said Deborah Fidler, a professor in the Department of Human Development and Family Studies under CSU’s College of Health and Human Sciences, which is running the program with the College of Agricultural Sciences. With state grant funding, CSU will continue building the program over the next five years, during which Fidler said the university will establish a more meaningful credential for students and likely broaden its focus to other fields in science, technology, engineering and mathematics. The program’s initial emphasis on agricultural sciences fills a regional workforce demand while also aligning with the interests of many students with disabilities, said Fidler, who also serves as the director of the intellectual and developmental disabilities division of CSU’s Prevention Research Center. “We also know that agricultural

education is really unique in that it has a strong experiential learning component to it,” she said. “There’s so much of the learning process (that) happens in the real world setting where employment would actually take place.” She has seen inclusive higher education shape CSU students who step into the role of peer mentor as much as the program has impacted those with an intellectual disability. “It was clear that these were students who were now going to be considering their career pathways a little differently and recognizing that even if they don’t necessarily move towards a career in inclusive education, and maybe that’s not necessarily their outcome, that they will be employees in the workforce who are going to be much more inclusive in their practices,” Fidler said. Murphy, the paraprofessional in Grand Junction, now shepherds high school students attending Central High School from school buses to the cafeteria to eat breakfast, escorts them to their classroom and makes sure they’re prepared to dive into the school day. She also helps them use the bathroom and sometimes shadows individual students in class to provide one-on-one support. The recent UNC graduate struggles with vision problems when reading and had seizures as a newborn but grew out of them — all symptoms of her genetic disease, which also affects her mom. And Murphy sometimes needs help with walking or she

struggles with balance. Murphy, who said she has an “invisible disability,” previously spent two years at Colorado Mesa University while pursuing a vocational program for adults ages 18 to 21 with disabilities and graduated a year early when she was 20. She transferred to UNC in Greeley, picking up her life and plopping it down five hours away to begin her freshman year. She first set out to study acting, directing and theater — a passion stemming from her childhood — but shifted to a major in human services toward the end of her first semester when an instructor spelled out her strength in helping others. Murphy has mostly fond memories of her years in college, when she devoted a lot of time to a Catholic campus ministry group apart from her classes. College, she said, enabled her to land in a career in which she can mentor students while also earning a better wage that will soon hopefully give her the footing to move out of her parents’ house. “It just like helped me experience what everyone else experiences,” she said, “but like not in the traditional way.” This story is from The Colorado Sun, a journalist-owned news outlet based in Denver and covering the state.

How to stay safe on Colorado’s trails and waters BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

After a strong winter and wet spring, the statewide snow runoff flowing into Colorado rivers, streams and lakes is higher than usual this year — and with large dumps of rainfall along the Front Range, that means outdoor recreators might encounter conditions they aren’t used to seeing. With high water on rivers this year, as of late June, there have already been 12 swift-water-related fatalities in Colorado, according to Colorado Parks and Wildlife. “This year’s river flows are more dangerous compared to last year,” Michael Haskins, a swift-water investigator, said in a news release. “We strongly encourage people to check river conditions before you head out, and if you arrive and see high and fast water conditions you don’t know how to navigate or feel unsure about, please don’t risk getting hurt and the need for a river rescue,” Haskins added. Last year, the majority of fatalities occurred because people did not wear a life jacket — and the state parks agency urges using that and other precautions to stay safe. Meanwhile, trails have also seen impacts from the wet weather. Heavy rainfall destroyed all bridge crossings over the Cherry Creek in Castlewood Canyon State Park in Douglas County, a

People, along with a dog, recreate in the water.

June news release from the parks agency said. Here’s a look at how to stay safe when you’re recreating outdoors — whether on land or water. Staying safe on trails

Standing water on trails is one potential hazard for bikers to watch out for. “Check trail conditions before you go to be sure conditions are safe,” said Travis Duncan, a spokesperson with Colorado Parks and Wildlife. You can visit trails.colo-

rado.gov to access the state’s COTREX map system, or download the app, to locate trail closures. (It may also be helpful to check local government websites for trail closures. For instance, Castle Rock and Jefferson County list closures at tinyurl.com/ CastleRockTrails and tinyurl. com/JeffcoParksTrails.) Trail users should also be mindful of erosion, the natural process by which rock and soil are worn away by wind, water and traffic. “Left unchecked, ero-

sion can destroy trails and damage the environment,” Duncan said. “Trail erosion is accelerated by a combination of trail users, gravity and water.” When walkers and runners encounter standing water on a trail, recommendations can vary. “Every situation is different,” Duncan said. “In many instances, we’d prefer folks not hike when conditions are bad on a given trail. In most cases, going through the water is the best option and will prevent further erosion

to the trail.” Staying safe in water

Even the most experienced outdoor enthusiasts can become victims to deceptively strong currents, cold water temperatures and unexpected changes in depth, according to the state parks agency. In 2022, Colorado experienced a low-flow snow runoff year, but it was still what the parks agency called the deadliest year in Colorado waters, with the majority of SEE OUTDOORS, P33

Muniz bounces back from setback BY STEVE SMITH SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA

Brighton’s Danthony Muniz works on his grappling technique with his coach, Eric Gutierrez, during a recent training session in Westminster. PHOTO BY STEVE SMITH

As far as Brighton’s Danthony Muniz was concerned, things couldn’t have been better early in the spring. Muniz, who’s aiming to become a professional mixedmartial arts fighter, was getting set for his first foray into submission grappling. The goal is to score submission victories as opposed to wrestling, where pins are the name of the game. Muniz had a spot on a submission grappling card in

New York in late April. Then the injury bug bit. “I fractured my shoulder during live training a week before leaving for New York,” Muniz said. “Time off the mat was all it took to recover. It was definitely a very long month.” That wasn’t all. “At first it was a very hard hit on my mental state,” he said. “I was very down and upset. But I knew it was a part of the process. So, I just kept my head on straight and thought about the positive things that could come

from it.” The doctors wouldn’t let him train on the mats. But they let him run. His normal output had been five miles a day. He’s doubled that since the injury. He’s also found some new training partners. “I have been mainly training with Thug Rose Namajunas (a member of the Ultimate Fighting Championship organization and former two-time UFC women’s strawweight champion), Pat HD Barry (a former AmeriSEE MUNIZ, P33

water-related deaths occurring in lakes and reservoirs. (The parks agency clarified to Colorado Community Media that it is keeping an unofficial tally. Said Duncan: “There is no statewide authority on water-related deaths in Colorado, though CPW has been tracking them in recent years ... CPW handles investigations on properties we manage and often gets asked to assist in searching for victims or evidence in other jurisdictions. But CPW is not the overarching authority on water-related deaths for the entire state.”) In 2022, there were 42 water-related fatalities in Colorado, which was up from 22 in 2021, and 34 in 2020, according to the agency. “In 2022, the majority of fatalities occurred from people swimming, paddle boarding, kayaking or using an inflatable of some kind, and the vast majority were not wearing a life jacket,” the agency said in a news release. “CPW wants to remind the public that paddle boards and kayaks are considered vessels, and life jacket requirements apply.” The parks agency also recommends all boaters and passengers wear a life jacket while on the water. “Regardless of your age or experience level, the data shows that life jackets save lives,” Grant Brown, boating safety program manager for

can mixed martial artist and kickboxer).” Others in the training group are Tatsuo Taira (a Japanese mixedmartial artist), Alonzo Menified (an American mixed-martial artist) and

Ralek Gracie (a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu grappler and mixed martial-arts fighter).” All the work is leading toward an appearance with CJCC, a professional grappling association, in early September in Aurora He and his brother, Dom (also a BJJ fighter), started a clothing and landscaping company, Lifestyle.

the parks agency, said in the release. State parks staff also emphasized that river water exerts “a very powerful and constant force against any fixed object.” “Just six inches of water can knock a person off their feet. Water flowing at seven miles per hour has the equivalent force per unit area as air blowing above 200 miles per hour,” the news release said. Staff also pointed to the fact that although the air temperature may be hot, “the water is very cold.” “Cold water can quickly create a drowning emergency,” the agency said in a release. The agency also urged the public to boat sober, as “alcohol use is the leading contributing factor in recreational boating deaths.” Duncan also explained the term “swift-water rescue,” which involves fast-moving water conditions. “Although sometimes called ‘white water rescue,’ it applies to any rescue situation in an environment — rural or urban — with moving water, including one not normally submerged, such as a flooded drainage area,” Duncan said. While “swift water” has no formal definition in the rescue industry, according to Duncan, many industry professionals accept the following qualifications as standard: • Water depth of over two feet • Flow rate of, at minimum, one knot (1.15 miles per hour) • Occurrence in a natural watercourse, flood control channel, or flood-affected environment.
