ABUZZ ABOUT THE GARDEN

Anythink Libraries unveils new Wright Farms pollinator garden P7

Turning the page to our next chapter

NOTE FROM THE PUBLISHER

Dear readers and supporters: Today begins a new chapter for this newspaper and Colorado Community Media, and we’re excited to share updates on our move to a new printing facility, why that matters and news of the upcoming launch of a revamped website.

In June, we learned that the facility that prints our portfolio of two dozen weekly newspapers and magazines would be closing this month. At the time, we pledged to nd a solution that would ensure little to no disruption to our printing and distribution schedule. We conducted a comprehensive analysis of options, aiming to keep costs down and changes as minimal as possible while understanding that Colorado’s Front Range has limited printing facilities available.

PUBLISHER

We’re pleased to share that we identi ed a nearby printer that is capable of taking on our products and began printing there this week. While the move won’t cause signi cant changes to our newspapers, you’ll likely notice a few di erences.

e most notable change is the size of our newspapers. Moving to a di erent press, regardless of which option we landed on, necessitated altering the page size. at means a slightly smaller page. Despite the change, you can still expect the same volume of local news stories, advertisements and other features we’re committed to providing to you.

We also had to make tweaks to some delivery times, as well as more closely aligning some of our publications geographically. As a subscriber, you may not even notice these changes; the goal was to streamline our work behind the scenes to keep production and delivery as consistent as possible.

Our newspapers, printed and delivered to driveways and mailboxes, remain an important platform for

a selection of spirits such as whiskey and vodka.”

To complement the libations, a lineup of talented local bands hit the festival stage, setting the tone for a lively and energetic atmosphere at the Carpenter Park Pavilions.

“ is is the perfect setting for this celebration,” says Romig. “With its lush greenery and ample space, the setting is perfect for mingling, relaxing, soaking in the summer vibes, and enjoying the company of fellow beer, wine and spirits enthusiasts.”

Carpenter Park is already the successful home of the well-attended orntonfest and July 4th celebrations, as well as summer Concerts in the Park events. is newest ornton festival promises to be a great end-of-summer addition. Festivalgoers will be treated to a vast selection of handcrafted beers from local breweries, as well as o erings from regional favorites.

getting you local news. Even as we evolve digitally, we know many of our subscribers appreciate the experience of a newspaper, and we’re continuing to explore longer-term options for consistent printing in the years to come.

In terms of our digital evolution, we’re extremely excited to soon be launching a new website that will allow us to publish more quickly. I’ll dedicate an upcoming column to these improvements, but will share a few speci cs here, too:

- Our publications will soon be under one umbrella, meaning you can easily shift from one local news source to another to learn more about communities across the region.

- With more multimedia elements, including audio and videos, we’re making our stories more inclusive.

- e website will be easier to navigate and update as news happens. ere’s much more to come on that front, and I look forward to sharing additional details soon. In the meantime, thank you for your support of local journalism –– we couldn’t do this without our members, advertisers and readers.

Neighbors oppose battery plant

BY SCOTT TAYLOR STAYLOR@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Jessie Williams is clear about her opposition to opening a lithiumion battery manufacturing plant in Brighton’s former Sears/KMart distribution center: Nothing developers, company o cials or city say will convince her it’s a good idea.

“ is is an inappropriate location,” Williams said. “I’m not against the technology. I’m not against anything they are trying to do. It’s just that this is an inappropriate location.”

Williams lives on Mt. Sne els St. due north of the place where high-tech battery maker Amprius Tech plans to open its rst full scale manufacturing plant.

empty former distribution center on Bromley Lane, setting up their new lithium-ion battery manufacturing facility in the 775,000-square-foot building. ey say their rst phase would create 332 net new jobs in Brighton with an average annual wage of $68,516.

But Williams, her husband Joe and their neighbors are standing in the project’s way. e Williams attended an open house hosted by Amprius at Brighton’s Healing Place Church Aug. 8 and say they were front and center Aug. 10 when the Brighton Planning Board reviewed the project.

Planning Commisioners voted against Ampirus plan, recommending City Councilors turn it down at that Aug. 10 meeting.

Andrew Huie, Amprius’ vice president of infrastructure, said the company still needs zoning approval from the City of Brighton and permits from the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment.

ey plan to submit their applications to the state this fall, with zoning reviews with the Brighton City Council on their to-do list next, if the Planning Board approves. e company hopes to be operating by the beginning of 2025.

e facility would be located at 18875 Bromley Lane, just 600 feet south of Brighton’s Mt. Princeton St. and homes in the sur-

rounding Brighton Crossings neighborhood and due north of Brighton’s water treatment plant. Neighbors have made their fears of res and pollution clear at City Council meetings.

Lithium-ion batteries have been the news lately, with res in battery-powered Ebikes and cars, but company o cials have said they plan to mitigate the threat of res and plan to deliver their batteries with minimal charge, reducing the re risk. e warehouse’s interior space would be divided into smaller, re-resistant rooms for making and storing the empty batteries and the factory will have a state-of-theart re suppression system. But the biggest threat, Jessie Williams said, is from chemicals the battery manufacturing process

demands. ose chemicals will be stored in tanks along the southern end of the site — across Bromley Lane from Brighton’s water treatment facility.

“And then there are schools,” Joe Williams said.

“We have Foundations Academy here, Eagle Ridge is here, you have Pennock. All of these schools are in this area and not everyone that lives in this area works here, but our kids all go here. And if something happens at this facility and they have to evacuate, I’ll all have to drive 30 minutes just to get back here and hopefully get to my kid on time.”

Joe Williams said he’s a fan of the product and would love to see the battery maker come to Brighton, just not the middle of the city and not within 600 feet

of his home. He notes that the city has zoned lots for more residential development surrounding the building.

“Why can’t you just look out east?” Williams said. “ ere’s acres of empty land out there, acres of better places to put a facility like

this. I’m not against your batteries but this is just not the right place to make them.”

e two have attended all three neighborhood meetings Amprius has hosted and have gathered signatures to urge city o cials to say no to the project.

Cities with residential growth caps start to contend with new state law

BY ELLIOTT WENZLER THE COLORADO SUN

Lakewood will repeal its residential growth cap over the next two years, the City Council decided this week, capitulating to a new state law outlawing such ceilings and backing o threats to sue over the statute passed by the legislature this year.

But Golden, another city with a cap, punted on Aug. 8 when its City Council held a closed-door meeting with their attorney and then didn’t take any action.

House Bill 1255, passed by the Colorado General Assembly and signed into law by Gov. Jared Polis earlier this year, prohibits cities from imposing residential growth caps and requires municipalities with existing caps to remove them.

e measure is aimed at boosting housing stock to drive down prices. It went into e ect this week.

Lakewood and Golden are among four Colorado cities that had caps when the law was passed and that are struggling to respond to the new law. e other two cities are Boulder and Lafayette, which also haven’t taken any action yet.

City Council members in Boulder, which hasn’t enforced its growth cap in many years, in June directed their sta to create an ordinance to

repeal its growth cap. Lafayette has looked at its options but not taken any action.

As for Golden, it’s unclear what direction it will go.

But the move by Lakewood on on Aug. 7 quashes the idea that the cities would band together and sue the state over whether or not it can supersede voter’s decisions around growth caps.

Lakewood’s City Council passed an emergency ordinance on during an emotional, two-hour gathering.

e city’s growth cap, which was approved by voters in 2019, limits residential development to 1% each year. In 2022, about 700 units were permitted.

e city will develop a new landuse plan during the two-years and could remove the cap before the end of the period.

“What this ordinance does is eventually bring the city into compliance with 1255, but gives the city some time to get there,” Lakewood City Attorney Alison McKenney Brown said.

e city is also considering whether to opt into Proposition 123, Lakewood Mayor Adam Paul said, to access a ordable housing dollars under the statewide program approved by voters in 2022.

Lakewood’s growth cap is the newest in the state. Lafayette’s was

5.00%

enacted in 1995, amended in 2012, and revised again in 2017 to encourage construction of a ordable housing. Golden’s was approved in 1995. Boulder’s cap was placed in 1975 and amended in 1995.

Members of the Lakewood City Council attempted twice since the bill was signed into law to enter executive session to discuss how to respond. But the e orts were blocked both times by members of the council who argued the discussion needed to happen in public view.

When asked by members of the council if it was legal for the state to impose the law, a member of the city’s legal team said she couldn’t comment in public session on that question.

ere were two other options for the City Council outlined by their legal sta . One option, which Councilwoman Mary Janssen attempted to pursue in a motion, asked the city’s sta to not recognize the law as valid and to continue enforcing the city’s strategic growth initiative. It failed with a 7-4 vote.

e city also could have voted to repeal their ordinance immediately.

In an interview with e Colorado Sun in June, Paul indicated that the City Council was considering ght-

ing the legislation’s legality.

“I don’t know if everybody on my council would be willing to say ‘yeah, state of Colorado, you have the authority to do this,’” he said at the time.

Paul has been a vocal opponent of the growth cap and said if it was removed, he didn’t think there would be much substantial change to the amount of development in the city.

e Lakewood City Council members who voiced support for challenging the law argued that the state doesn’t have the right to preempt the will of voters in their city.  Lakewood seldom turned developers away because of their growth cap, Paul said.

House Bill 1255 gives cities the option to enact a temporary antigrowth law for one of three reasons: a declared disaster emergency, to create a new land use plan and to acquire additional public infrastructure, services or water.

Garden dedicated to bees and beyond

Anythink Wright Farms dedicates pollinator garden

BY BELEN WARD BWARD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Bees and other pollinators are big deal, according to Anythink Library’s managers, so they decided to give them a place of their own.

Anthink Wright Farms in ornton celebrated thegrand opening of a new pollinator garden Aug. 8. e garden is open to every one to visit, whether they are pollinators or not “Having this pollinator garden is a really amazing opportunity for us to provide more resources along with our mission,” said Mark Fink, Anthink Libraries executive director. “It opens doors for curious minds. One of the initiatives we’re working on is trying to nd ways to help people connect with nature at the level that is comfortable for them.”

e event featured guitarist Jose Francisco and cookies and fruit with other refreshments.

Bee-hind the garden

e garden is located at the southeast corner of the Anthink Wright farms building facing 120th and is on 1.5 acres with over 900 plants for the bees, butter ies, birds, hummingbirds, rodents, moths and bats that use plants to pollinate.

“We embarked on this project inspired by our resident beekeeper, Michael Biglen. We have apiaries at three of our location’s community gardens at Anythink Library Wright farms, Anythink Perl Mack, and Anythink Commerce City,” said Stacy Ledden, Anythink Libraries director of strategic partnerships. Ledden said Biglen is one of their building doctors on the facilities team and has a passion for bees. He brought beehives to several of their locations, which sparked the idea of creating the pollinator garden at the Wright Farms branch.

e project also built walkways going through the garden with benches and a pergola with a basalt fountain for the community of all ages to enjoy.

“Last year the Anythink Foundation and Amazon helped to raise funds to make this possible and the library contributed funds,”

Ledden said.

e park and the garden were designed by Con uence, a local landscape architecture rm, she said.

Joel Hiatt, Enhancement Manager with Keesen Landscape Northern Colorado Region, designed the pollinator garden and said this supports the bees that are they’re su ering from colony collapse.

“It was just a pleasure to put in this environmentally friendly garden to help bene t our pollinators in the area, and we’re giving them the diversity to feed here instead of mono crops that are further east. Its going to help our environment and is beautiful place. I’m just really proud to be part of it,” Hiatt said.

Ledden said they dedicated this space to their former Anythink Board Trustee, Linda Wisniewski, for the time she served on the board between 2009 and 2019.

Ledden said it’s an opportunity to educate the community and host programming on the importance of pollinators because they are seeing a decrease in pollinators worldwide.

“So we invite all of those bees , butter ies and hummingbirds back to our community with the 900 plants that have been planted here as part of the garden,” Ledden said.

“It’s been a beautiful project and an excellent space for people to enjoy, re ect, work, and gather.

Glenn Moore, a retired educator visiting the garden, said he moved to ornton in 1996 into a cul de sac by Krameria Street.

“ ere were no houses around us we can listen to cows moo at night, and coyotes howling. I have seen it develop over the years, its wonderful they added the pollinator farm,” Moore said.

Lydia Ontiveros, a retired educator who lives in Wright Farms neighborhood, is a fan of the library. e garden has given her ideas.

“ ey bring in a lot of di erent classes. We can walk up to and use the library. You get to see the kids here learning a lot of educational information. We are trying to put owers in our backyard boxes for pollinators,” Ontiveros said.

Suzanne McGowan, director of customer experience, said she likes to see people sitting out in the garden when she’s coming to work.

Some people seem to be having meetings or having a little bit of solitude in the little natural area.

“I like the backdrop of our community garden. It’s just been fun. I hope it’s an experience for lot of our customers, whether they come into the library or not they can enjoy an extension of the library,” McGowan said.

“It has been a labor of love and a gift to the community. So we’re really excited to celebrate its grand opening today,” Ledden said.

“ e pollinator garden is a really great opportunity for us to be able to do that, and it adds some beauty to the area and, gives people an opportunity to sit outside and relax. Our facilities manager said he saw a little toad in our fountain this morning,” Fink said.

Stacie Ledden is giving the dedication of the garden plaque to Linda Wisniewski, who was in tears on August 8.

SROs reinstated at Denver schools didn’t increase tickets and arrests

BY MELANIE ASMAR CHALKBEAT COLORADO

Tickets and arrests of students at 13 Denver Public Schools campuses were lower when police o cers were not stationed inside the school buildings than when they were, according to state and local data from the 201920 and 2022-23 school years.

e data backs a key criticism of school resource o cers, which is that they increase tickets and arrests and feed the school-to-prison pipeline.

But when SROs were reintroduced on those 13 campuses for the last two months of the 2022-23 school year, after a shooting inside East High School, the monthly average of tickets and arrests did not go up, according to data from the Denver Police Department.

East High student Stella Kaye has a theory as to why.

When Kaye, a 16-year-old junior, thought about the data on SROs, “I thought about, Wow, they probably know how many people don’t want them to be there,” she said. “So if they start arresting kids left and right, it would not look good for the police or DPS. It’s almost like they had to be on their best behavior. It’s like they were put in their place a little bit.”

It’s a theory shared by parents, students, advocates, and elected o cials on both sides of the issue.

ose who support the return of SROs point to the data as a hopeful sign that students won’t be overpoliced. ose opposed to SROs are skeptical that two months of data, at a time when school safety was closely watched, proves that anything will be di erent.

When school starts in Denver next month, SROs will be back at the same 13 high school campuses. e data from the 2019-20 and 2022-23 school years provides a window — albeit a limited one — into what parents and students can expect.

DPS had SROs starting in the 1990s. In the 2019-20 school year, SROs were stationed at 18 middle and high schools. ose 18 campuses included the 13 that will have an SRO this fall.

In 2019-20, there were 30 student arrests and 160 tickets issued on those 13 campuses, according to the Colorado Division of Criminal Justice, which uses data from law enforcement agencies and school districts to track student interactions with police.

In the summer of 2020, amid nationwide protests against racist policing, the Denver school board unanimously voted to end DPS’ contract with the Denver Police Department.

e 18 SROs were phased out of schools the following year, and gone by June 2021.

e pandemic made it di cult to

assess the impact of removing SROs.

e 2020-21 school year was largely remote for high school students, and the following year, 2021-22, was interrupted by returns to remote learning as COVID variants spiked.

is past school year, 2022-23, was the rst prolonged test of in-person school without SROs. Data from the Denver Police Department shows that arrests and tickets at the 13 campuses were lower this past year than in 2019-20 when the campuses had SROs.

In 2022-23, there were 18 student arrests at the 13 campuses, compared to 30 in 2019-20 for those same campuses — a 40% decrease. Similarly, there were 75 tickets issued to students at the 13 campuses this past year, compared to 160 in 2019-20 — a 53% decrease.

A majority of the tickets — 57 of the 75 — were for assault or public ghting.

e 2022-23 data includes the months of April and May, when SROs were temporarily placed at the 13 campuses following a shooting inside East High on March 22. A 17-year-old student shot and injured two deans before eeing and taking his own life.

After SROs were reinstated, the number of tickets and arrests at the 13 campuses held steady at about 10 incidents per month across all 13 campuses, the data shows. Most of

the incidents were tickets. Only two students, both 15 years old, were arrested in that time period: one for third-degree assault and one for indecent exposure, according to the data.

School board member Scott Baldermann wrote the policy to reintroduce SROs. e policy includes a requirement that DPS monitor the number of times SROs ticket or arrest students to ensure marginalized students aren’t disproportionately targeted.

Before SROs were removed, Black students were targeted more often. In 2018-19, one in four tickets or arrests involved Black DPS students, even though only about one in seven students were Black, state data showed. e monitoring is meant to safeguard against racist policing.

“Now they’re being watched,” Baldermann said.

But the 2022-23 data also shows a disproportionality. White students were underrepresented in tickets and arrests, while Black students were overrepresented. A third of tickets and arrests in 2022-23 involved Black students, but only 14% of DPS students are Black.

RTD will let metro-area youth ride free all year

BY SARA MARTIN CHALKBEAT COLORADO

Denver-area youth will be able to ride for free to school, the mall, work, and just about everywhere they go beginning Sept. 1 under a new Regional Transportation District pilot program. e free fares for youth 19 and younger riding buses and the light rail system will start following the conclusion of the RTD’s summer free fares for everyone campaign, designed to encourage the use of public transportation and curb pollution during July and August.

Until recently, youth customers ages 6-19 were eligible for a 70% discount fare and children ve and younger could ride free with a farepaying adult. Now, “youth customers ages 19 or younger won’t pay for RTD services during the pilot program implementation,” according to the RTD website.

e new pilot stems from a broader study on the structure of fare pricing

supportive of SROs. But he said the bigger issue is DPS’ rules for when educators can suspend or expel students or call the police. ose rules are spelled out in a chart known as the discipline matrix, which DPS amended in 2021 to limit calls to police.

“ e elephant in the room is that the discipline matrix says educators cannot refer to [the Denver Police Department],” Katsaros said. Given the changes to the discipline matrix and other factors, such as the e ects of the pandemic on students’ behavior, Katsaros said it’s hard to draw conclusions by comparing data from before and after remote learning. “ e data can be twisted,” he said.

Elsa Bañuelos-Lindsay is also skeptical of the data. She is the executive director of Movimiento Poder, an advocacy organization that strongly opposed the return of SROs.

“Our worry as an organization is we will see an increase … in the criminalization of [Black, Indigenous, people of color] working-class young people,” Bañuelos-Lindsay said, and “a lot of schools relying on policing to deal with issues that should be dealt

and equity. Prices are going down for most riders and the fare structure is simpli ed to four price options.

In Denver, most high school students are ineligible for yellow bus service, limiting transportation options for them to get to school. Denver Public Schools pays for passes to ride public RTD buses to and from school, but students must live more than 2.5 miles from their school.

Facing driver shortages and rising costs, the Denver schools have cut bus service for some middle and elementary schools for the next school year and are o ering limited service to the Denver School of the Arts.

e district must still provide yellow bus service for high school students with disabilities, recent refugees who attend the district’s “newcomer centers,” and English-learning high schoolers in the district’s bilingual programs.

For free rides,drivers may ask kids to show a school- or government-issued ID, according to Bill Sirois, RTD

with in schools, like mental health.”

Seventeen-year-old Skye O’Toole is a student at Denver School of the Arts, which doesn’t have an SRO. At a closed-door school board meeting held the day after the East High shooting, Superintendent Alex Marrero said DSA had turned down the o er of an SRO this past spring, a recently released recording revealed.

But that’s no guarantee DSA won’t get an SRO sometime in the future. It’s an outcome that O’Toole, who is an active member of Marrero’s student cabinet, opposes.

Even though the recent data does not show a spike in tickets and arrests after SROs were reintroduced this past spring, O’Toole said she still fears that could happen.

“We can’t jump to any conclusions based on two months of data,” O’Toole said. “ e rst few months or the rst few years, [the SROs are] likely going to be on their best behavior. ey were being brought back with a lot of caution and concern around them.

“We can start judging the data more when we’re one or two years into the process. I have a feeling that arrests will go up. I’ll be watching very closely.”

senior manager of transit oriented communities.

RTD plans to collect ride data two ways: transportation operators will key in information on their keypads, and surveys will be sent out throughout the school year. RTD wants to know if riders are taking advantage of the opportunity and if their opinions have changed on using more public transportation.

“We’re excited and we’re hoping for big success. We’ve reached out to a lot of the school districts and got some good feedback in terms of contacts to work with to collect data and hopefully see some good results,” Sirois said.

RTD has projected that it will cost the system $3.5 to $4 million in the next year to o er free youth fares. e youth fare program ends Aug. 31, 2024. To continue the program, RTD o cials want other organizations to help fund a part of the project.

DPS did not respond to requests for comment on this story.

Last fall, RTD initiated the CollegePass program which provided unlimited free rides to all students whose universities opted into the program. Colleges paid for it in di erent ways. Some included a fee into a student’s tuition; other schools footed the bill. e college program was renewed for another year with the addition of semester passes for higher education institutions that didn’t participate in the CollegePass program. e SemesterPass will be an opt-in program for individual students who use public transportation rather than the institutions paying for the entire student body. e pass costs $75 per student each month.

Students, parents hopeful about new year in Adams 14 schools

BY YESENIA ROBLES CHALKBEAT COLORADO

Getting ahead of most school districts in the state, Adams 14 students started a new school year nervous, excited, and curious about possible changes the district might roll out.

Adams 14 is expected to be making changes as part of its turnaround as the rst district in the state ordered into reorganization after many years of low ratings in state performance measures. Most parents and students were unaware of the turnaround changes, and some were curious about what to expect.

Most students at the high school on Aug. 7 didn’t know about the school’s plans to create career academies in health sciences and human services; architecture, construction, engineering and design; business, hospitality and tourism; and digital information and technology. e district has said ninth graders would eventually pick one of the four academies, or paths, that can give them certi cations along with their high school diplomas. Some students don’t expect much to change. However, many already had their schedules in hand as they walked into school — an important improvement over some past years

when students reported waiting days in the auditorium to get a schedule.

At Monaco Elementary, parents walked their little ones, carrying stu ed backpacks, boxes of tissues, and other supplies, to wait for their teachers to take them into their rst day of classes.

Monaco is receiving students this year from former Hanson Elementary which the district closed due to declining enrollment and to make more room for the alternative high school. Parents of Hanson students said their kids were nervous, but fortunately found former teachers and classmates among the friendly faces at their new school.

“ ey’re very excited now that they found out a lot of their friends moved with them,” said parent Tabitha Amaya. Her rst and third graders were still getting used to the new school building, but besides praising the lunch and recess periods of the day, were excited to have a science class this year. “ at’s the highlight.”

For Amaya, one concern remains: how she’ll manage to get her kids to school on ursdays. e district announced that this year they’ll have classes start two hours later once a week to allow teachers more time to plan or train.

“With both parents working, it’s kind of hard,” Amaya said. She said Monaco leaders had reached out to her to hear her concerns, seemingly looking for a solution, she thought, but she hasn’t heard back.

“I guess we’ll see ursday,” Amaya said.

Adams 14 has about 6,100 students and still has an uncertain future. Reorganization could mean school closures or nearby districts taking control over the district’s schools, but the plan has to be shaped and approved by the community, and leaders appointed to the reorganization committee support letting Adams 14 continue to operate as is.

Much of that work remains on hold while the district awaits a Colorado Supreme Court decision as it argues the state doesn’t have the ability to order a school district to close. In the meantime, district leaders are counting on Superintendent Karla Loria’s new administration to drive academic improvements that multiple past administrations have been unable to accomplish.

District leadership refused an interview to talk about the work that’s going into those improvements. Parents said they’re unaware of what changes are happening, but are hopeful for a good school year.

Angelica Munoz said she just moved to Commerce City and isn’t aware of any of the district changes, but heard from her sister-in-law that Monaco was a “wonderful school.”

Her daughter loved her rst day of kindergarten.

“She can’t wait to go back tomorrow,” Munoz said. “She said they were doing a lot of reading. I think that’s good.”

Carlos Cabrera has a son, 14, with special needs, who is starting at Adams City High School this year.

Cabrera said his son was worried about the bigger school, older students, and more social interactions, and he was concerned because his son doesn’t communicate much. But after school, Cabrera said it seemed to go well.

“He said he likes the teachers,” he said. “It looks like it went good.”

Cabrera said that in the morning he walked into the school with his son, but didn’t get a lot of information. e school said they’d let him know about the academies later.

Jason Malmberg, the president of the district’s teachers union, said he and other teachers are most excited about the district’s continued work to roll out the community school model.

e model, which seeks to bring community resources into the schools such as food pantries, parents classes, or after-school care, to address external factors that impact learning, is being rolled out rst at Central Elementary, one of the lower-performing schools in the district. Malmberg said he and other leaders applied this summer for some grant funding to try to pay for the work to roll out the model districtwide.

“ ere’s a model that pretends race and class and poverty have no impact on education,” Malmberg said. “We are trying to do a di erent model, a model that elevates the voice of the community, that responds to the needs of that community.”

Malmberg, along with district and community leaders, believe the state’s performance ratings ignore the impact that the high concentration of poverty and other social and environmental challenges have on the ability for students in Adams 14 to be able to learn or demonstrate learning on a standardized test. ey’re interested in having the school district address some of those challenges rst and believe that over time, that may lead to some academic improvements.

“We really feel like this is the answer: investing in the community. But it’s not a quick x.”

Je co’s new district maps revealed

BY JO DAVIS JDAVIS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

e Je erson County Clerk and Recorder has unveiled the new district maps.

ey are the result of redistricting, a process that the county undergoes every decade to determine where the new boundary lines for each district are drawn. is year, County Clerk and Recorder Amanda Gonzalez opened up the process to public input. “Je co residents are the experts on their own communities,” Gonzalez said. “So, it was really important to engage community members in the map drawing process. ey helped us understand their priorities and we made signi cant changes as a result of their input.”

Traditionally, according to the county clerk’s redistricting presentation, drawing the district lines happens in meetings that are only open to county and state o cials. Gonzalez explained that in the state of Colorado, counties with ve commissioners must open their process to public input.

“Je co only has three commissioners, so that didn’t apply to us,” Gonzalez said. “So, we had mostly the old process, which was the clerk could draw the map in a back room. And then, it could be voted on at a meeting where the commissioners say, ‘OK, where do I live? Yeah, that

looks good to me.’”

She wanted something much more transparent and something that included the people who live in the county.

Gonzalez and her team started with the original district line map. en, worked with Tufts University to create a mapping tool called Distrctr that allows county residents to create their own maps. e Clerk’s team then hosted a series of public meetings where Gonzalez explained the process, and how to use Distrctr. During those sessions, Gonzalez also took comments from everyone. e maps, comments and suggestions were used to create a second map that Gonzalez presented to the Je erson County Commissioners. On July 18, the commissioners drew up a third map that, according to the clerk’s o ce, “took the best parts of the rst two maps and combined those with additional priorities they and their constituents have.”

After more public comments, Map 3 was created. e commissioners then voted to con rm the map that was released on Aug. 8.

Gonzalez added that the maps were created without consideration of partisan politics.

“I purposefully didn’t look at the partisan lines in the various districts,” she said. “ at was just important to me.”

She went on to explain that other concerns were more important, like urban/rural distinctions, wild reprone areas and other concerns from the public and the commissioners.

According to a statement from the county clerk’s o ce, 45 community members attended the two public meetings. e o ce received 15 public comments and more than a dozen draft maps (which you can nd on Distrctr). e clerk’s o ce statement shows that the redistricting message reached approximately 4,000 people on social media and about 13,000 people via email and individual outreach.

e resulting map is thus the re ection of the county clerk, the county commissioners and the county residents.

“Redistricting has a long history of being led by politicians, for politicians’ best interests, in closed meetings and back-room dealings,” Gonzalez said. “I’m so proud that Je co had the most transparent, most inclusive redistricting process in Colorado, and our map is better for it.”

e new maps will be used to dene Je co’s commissioner districts starting this November through the next ten years.

Legal fees are eating up Trump’s political action committee fund

It should be no surprise to those who follow the news: Former President Donald Trump is draining his political action committee funds to pay mounting legal fees.

According to e Washington Post, Trump has spent more than $40 million on his various indictments and legal challenges in the rst half of 2023. at is a whopping amount to say the least. I am not sure he can sustain raising su cient funds to pay what will be increasing legal fees as the various indictments move forward i.e. motions to stop or prevent certain evidence, depositions, trail prep and the separate trials.

A fourth indictment is just around the corner in all probability from the Fulton County, Georgia grand jury. is is where Trump attempted to change the voter count to his favor in the 2020 election.

In total to date, approximately $56 million have been spent on post-presidential legal spending. In a way, it’s a shame that so much money could not have been spent on a more worthy cause. Examples are feeding people across the country who are food insecure or help pay people’s rent who don’t have the

money to cover housing costs.

Hyland Hills Sports Center soon to open

It is spacious with all the neat equipment, along with built-in room to grow. ere is a wonderful gymnasium where basketball, pickle ball and other activities will take place.

Colorado republicans vote not to block una liated in primary

I don’t know about you, but I feel unwanted by the Colorado Republican Party.

Chairman Dave Williams tried to kick us out of their primary election. Personally, I am not sure if there is anyone I would want to vote for anyway.

Williams attempted to have the Party amend their bylaws to opt out

of Colorado’s 2024 primary. If successful, the conservatives would not have to allow una liated registered voters in participating in their own separate primary. Under Proposition 108, the 2016 ballot measure was approved by Colorado voters to allow una liated voters to vote in either the Democrat or Republican primary (but they don’t get two bites at the apple).

Conservatives in the party previously attempted ousting us in 2021 ahead of the 2022 primary elections and it was overwhelmingly defeated. Furthermore, the Colorado GOP led a lawsuit in federal court which would e ectively bar una liated voters from voting in partisan primaries.

To add frosting on the cake, guess who is representing the GOP in court? It is none other than Donald Trump’s hot shot attorney John Eastman. What is the saying about a “bad penny keeps coming back?” Why are Williams and his pals afraid of us?

e GOP has enough to worry about without taking on the largest registered segment of Colorado voters.

Here is a good budget-related question for you

technological innovation and digital tools have unlocked e ciencies and contributed to the diversi cation of the Colorado economy in ways that would have been unfathomable even ten years ago. Today, every industry or company is an IT-dependent operation. is evolution also provides excellent career opportunities for our young workforce in Adams County. By harnessing the latest technology in local business operations, Adams County will be an economic powerhouse for generations.

Technology and innovation have certainly played an invaluable role in transforming the Colorado economy. We have witnessed how proactive stakeholder engagement with emerging industries at the state

and local levels promotes a healthy business environment. Alternatively, we’ve seen what happens when industry experts are ignored or left out of policy conversations and the detrimental impacts that can have on individual industry sector growth. We need to avoid pitfalls that could reverse technology’s gains in bolstering growth in certain sectors of the Adams County economy. We believe our region will see continued success if we can remove barriers to entry for new technological advancements and be mindful of implementing regulations that impede innovation and development. Misguided regulatory or legislative proposals could sti e the innovation underpinning so

much of our region’s—and state’s— success.

e state of the Greater Adams County region is strong. We need support from our public o cials and continued leadership from the local business community to ensure that it stays that way. As leaders look towards future regulations and legislation, AC-REP stands ready to convene stakeholders and develop solutions that keep our technology economy solid and successful.

Renew the farm bill

rough my work with early childhood centers around the Denver Metro Area, I see that families are working hard to keep up with rising food costs, and many children lack full access to nutritious food.In fact, one in six children are not getting adequate nutrition in Colorado.

We need to address hunger and malnutrition throughout the United States, and this year’s Farm Bill is a vital part of that. Set to expire in September 2023, the Farm Bill is legislation that authorizes federal food and agriculture programs in the U.S. and is essential in ensuring the well-being of millions of children in our country.

Nearly 20 million children depend on Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) bene ts. Now more than ever, these bene ts are inadequate, leaving families

I certainly hope that the proposed budget will include increased funding in the police department for enforcement centered around homeless people. Perhaps 15 or more years ago most people would say that homeless people issues fall under the county’s social services department. at is not the case today.

Homelessness is a regional problem which cries for “all hands on deck” to help reduce the magnitude of the problem (please note I did not say eliminate the problem as I don’t see that as plausible. Trying to build your way out of all homelessness is not achievable).

Rural communities are signi cantly impacted, where pandemic-related supply chain disruptions and food shortages hit the hardest. is bill must pass not only to ensure that essential anti-hunger programs continue without disruption, but it also needs to be adjusted to re ect the increasing rates of hunger, rising food prices, and the long-lasting impact of the pandemic on food security. It should preserve and strengthen SNAP by increasing bene t levels, allowing food choices without restrictions, and allow enrollment by telephone. Access to adequate and nutritious food is essential for every child. As an advocate with Save the Children Action Network, I urge lawmakers to take swift action in crafting a Farm Bill that addresses today’s challenges and emphasizes childcentric provisions. Together, let’s raise our voices and advocate for a Farm Bill that prioritizes the wellbeing of our children.

earning about history is more fun when you experience it.

at’s why the metro area has a wide range of places to experience Colorado’s history rsthand. Museums, tourist attractions and more provide venues for adults and children to get hands-on learning about Colorado history from the Jurrasic age to the 1900s.

From dinosaurs to mining and railroad history to early home and school life — the metro area has plenty of locations where families can have fun and learn a bit in the process.

Living history museums enable visitors to experience the everyday home life of ordinary people who toiled on Colorado’s farms, ranches, factories, mines, smelters and more, according to Kevin Rucker, a senior lecturer in MSU Denver’s history department.

For example, “visitors are able to visualize and empathize with what it took for women to take care of a household and raise families,” he said.

Rucker pointed to the Four-Mile House, Golden Prospect Park, Littleton Heritage Museum, Black Western History Museum, Molly Brown House as a starting point for all of the living history locations in the area. Colorado Community Media takes a look at some of the places in the metro area that provide hands-on history.

Who doesn’t love dinosaurs?

Morrison is home to two spots where families can learn about dinosaurs — Dinosaur Ridge and the Morrison Natural History Museum.

logic and paleontological features. Visitors can check out the area themselves or with volunteers and geologists to learn about the dinosaurs that roamed the area. ere’s a museum and gift shop at C-470 and Alameda Parkway, and Dinosaur Ridge has Dinosaur Days throughout the year.

Close by is the Morrison Natural History Museum on Highway 8 just south of downtown Morrison, where families can learn more about dinosaurs. e museum is also a research center, so in addition to visiting the museum, people can take archeological trips.

Stegosaurus Day is always fun for kids as they try their hands at peeling away rocks to nd fossils.

Gold rush

Clear Creek County has several locations to learn more about Colorado’s mining history. At the Phoenix Gold Mine southwest of Idaho Springs, history comes alive as visitors go underground in a gold mine, pan for gold to try to strike it rich themselves and more.

Mine owner Dave Mosch, whose family has lived in Colorado since the 1860s,

called the Phoenix Gold Mine fascinating for those who haven’t seen up close what mining was like, especially in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. He noted that the mining-support industry also brought people to Colorado — building houses, operating shops and providing personal aspects of life to miners.

“Colorado is a beautiful place, but what originally brought people here was the gold,” Mosch said. “ e more you understand mining, the more you understand the growth of our state.”

He and all of Clear Creek County are proud that the Colorado gold rush began in 1859 in the county.

Trains and more trains

e founder of the Colorado Railroad Museum understood how big the railroads were to settling Colorado.

“Bob Richardson (the founder of the museum) realized that people needed to know how it all got started, how people traveled to Colorado and how hard it was,” Roni Kramer, director of education for the Colorado Railroad Museum in Golden, explained. “It is important to see every aspect of people’s beginnings and how they got here on the train. Honestly, it’s such an interesting story.”

While adults may be more interested in historical tidbits, children have the opportunity to check out all areas of di erent train cars. ey ring bells, move through

kitchen and bunk cars to see how people traveling by train ate and slept, and more. And who wouldn’t love to have a birthday party in a caboose?

e railroad museum continues to get more interactive, Kramer said, with train rides, turntable demonstrations, art activities, a locomotive simulator and more — everything to please train lovers and train novices alike.

A farming life

Daily life on the plains in Colorado evolved between the 1860s and the 1890s, and the Littleton Museum has two working historical farms for visitors to learn about what life was like then. Historic interpreters in period clothing are happy to explain trades and skills of the time, plus they maintain the gardens, pumpkin elds and livestock.

According to the Littleton Museum, great care has been taken to ensure that plants and animals are historically accurate for the time period they represent.

e 1860s farm is a pioneer homestead during Littleton’s settlement period, a time before train travel, when oxen-drawn wagons were the main source of transportation. e schoolhouse at the farm, the rst in Littleton, showed how residents were moving forward to establish a formal township. e 1860s farm also has an ice house, sheep shed and barn.

e 1890s farm, which has a barn, tool shed, and privy, also has a working blacksmith shop, which was important to farm communities.  e shop depicts blacksmithing in 1903, when electricity reached Littleton.

The importance of history

“History is important,” Kramer said, explaining that people need to learn to appreciate how difcult it was to settle Colorado.

Rucker added that farmers in the early settlement days of Colorado worked from dawn to dusk just to survive. In addition to farming and raising animals, families tended gardens, and women taught school, did laundry, took in boarders, and sewed and mended clothes to make extra money to buy necessities. It was a di cult way of life, something people should understand and appreciate.

“It was just the reality of the time,” Rucker said.

Benchmark Theatre explores gun rights

COMING ATTRACTIONS

The issue of gun rights is one that almost everyone has an opinion about and has the rare distinction of being one that is literally costing lives as more and more time goes on.

All of this makes tackling guns on the stage no easy feat. But those are just the kinds of stories LakeBenchmark eatre, 1560 Teller St., lives to tell. And that’s what they’re doing with the world premiere of “Jeremiah.”  e show runs through Saturday, Sept. 2. Performances are at 8 p.m. ursday through Saturday and 2 p.m. on Sunday.

Written by Tami Canaday and directed by Kate Poling, the show follows four young men (Brandon Billings, Nate Cushing, James Giordano and Kaden Hinkle) who get enmeshed in a situation involving a

gun.

We spoke to Poling about the show, the cast and more.

Interview edited for brevity and clarity.

What drew you to the production?

e challenge of exploring toxic masculinity and gun culture in a way that everyone in the audience can hopefully relate to. I think theatre can shine a light on issues in really powerful ways, and the opportunity to narrow a wide-ranging and hot-button topic to a slice of life in Aurora was a fascinating and enticing challenge.

Tell me about working with the cast?

Because this is a world premiere, we are developing these characters without precedent, and it’s been wonderful to work with a group of actors who are nding the humanity of these characters. It would be easy to create stereotypical characters, and I think my cast has done an excellent job of cutting through that to create fully rounded characters. Every character is both hero and villain,

and, hopefully, the audience will nd a connection to each of them.

With a topic as challenging as the one covered in “Jeremiah,” how do you go about addressing it?

I think approaching the topic with understanding is the key. While I have my opinions about guns and gun control, the only way to tell a story that doesn’t alienate people is to re ect and understand all sides, and let those sides be re ected within the play.

What do you hope audiences come away with?

I hope every audience member sees themselves re ected in some way. I hope they have a conversation about guns. No matter what side of the gun debate they might be on, I hope every person can connect to the story being told in a way that maybe opens their mind just a little bit.

Clarke’s Concert of the Week — The Swell season at Levitt Pavilion

There are a few situations where art and life blend in really beautiful ways and one of my favorites of this century is  The Swell Season , the duo made up of Ireland’s Glen Hansard and the Czech Republic’s Markéta Irglová. They were a group before taking on the roles of two star-crossed lovers in the seminal indie musical, “Once,” which earned them an Academy Award. Not long after they stopped performing together but stayed close and they have reunited this year to tour the country.

The Swell Season will be performing at  Levitt Pavilion , 1380 W. Florida Ave. in Denver, at 7 p.m. on Sunday, Aug. 20 with opener Lizzie Weber. Their music is wistful and gorgeous and I know this will be a fantastic night under the stars.

Athlete sets a self-supported mountain summiting record

BY CODY JONES SUMMIT DAILY NEWS

Erin Ton has long been a trailblazer in the world of mountain trail running. From trekking up rocky, mountain slopes in high heels, to climbing the equivalent of Mount Everest by lapping Boulder’s Mount Sanitas 23 times, Ton has not only pushed her body’s limits throughout the years, but has continued to fulll her love for climbing mountains in Colorado’s High Country

Born and raised on the Front Range, Ton developed a love for the outdoors at an early age. However, it wasn’t until she was home from college in summer 2018 that Ton was able to check hiking a 14er o her “true Colorado native” bucket list. “I hiked Mount Elbert with my sister and my dad,” Ton said. “At the time I thought it was the hardest thing I had ever done, but a couple days later we went back and did Grays and Torreys. I was just hooked. I caught the bug and just kept chipping away at them.”

While Ton was summiting 14er

after 14er, she began to notice that she was getting up the peaks with a decent amount of speed compared to her friends, family and other hikers. Eventually this led Ton to break into trail running and truly start chasing after feats in the mountain endurance community.

After numerous outdoor adventures into the thin mountain air, Ton decided to set her eyes on a new and daunting athletic feat: the fastest known women’s self-supported Colorado summer 14ers time.

Consisting of 57 of Colorado’s 58 14ers — all but Culebra, which requires a climbing permit — the daring feat requires a large amount of preplanning, endurance, tness and physical and mental strength. On top of the route already being lled with physical challenges, no woman before Ton has ever attempted to complete the route completely self-supported, meaning Ton had to drive from trailhead to trailhead, carry her own food and did not have a crew helping her out.

With no real roadmap for how to achieve the women’s self-supported

record, Ton said she looked towards the men’s self-supported summer 14ers record (14 days, 17 hours) and the women’s supported summer 14ers record (14 days, 14 hours) for guidance as she was planning out her attempt.

“It really is a logistical puzzle, which I personally enjoy,” Ton said. “A lot of it was actually molded o of supported e orts in the past, with the only di erence being that everything had to be designed as a loop connecting multiple peaks and starting and ending at the same trailhead or it had to be an out and back. I couldn’t start on one end of a mountain range and end on the other side.”

Besides planning the route and logistics of the trip. Ton also spent several weeks making sure her body was in the best shape possible heading into the record attempt.

“ ere were a lot of big vert weeks,” Ton said. “For the entire month leading up to the start of the record I was putting up 100 mile weeks with 40,000 feet of elevation gain. A lot of that is not redlining or sprinting, but it’s just building an e cient aerobic base and building those strong power hiking legs. You don’t necessarily need to be the fastest on each of these peaks individually to complete the record, you just need to be good at going, going and going.”

Ton o cially began her record attempt on July 16, quickly bagging Windom, Sunlight, North Eolus and Eolus peaks before moving onto the Wilson Peak group in southwest Colorado the following day.

From the start of the attempt, Ton was constantly on the move, either climbing or descending a grouping of peaks, shoveling calories into her mouth to stay properly fueled, driving to the next trailhead or snagging a few minutes of sleep.

she set

roughout the journey, she was challenged by many things, but the weather started to play a signi cant role when Ton was in the process of summiting ve peaks in the Crestone Peak area of the Sangre de Cristo Range.

Ton successfully reached the top of Humboldt, Kit Carson, Challenger and Crestone peaks in sunny conditions when she received a text from Chris Tomer, her weather forecaster, that weather was quickly approaching the area.

“ e clouds came rolling in fast,” Ton said. “Cracking thunder, lightning, rain which eventually turned to hail. Fortunately, I was able to nd a little rock cave shelter to take shelter in for about an hour.”

Eventually the storm clouds dissipated, allowing Ton to climb for a short period before another powerful thunderstorm crashed over the peaks. A couple hundred feet below the summit of Crestone Needle, Ton once again was forced to take shelter and wait out another storm.

With Ton’s phone dead, her Garmin inReach running out of power and in light clothes, she started to worry if she was going to be able to make it o the Crestone traverse before night fell over the area.

“I was stuck in a tricky situation,” Ton said. “I wasn’t prepared to be up there overnight if it took that long for the storm to pass.”

She debated sending out a search and rescue message out on her Garmin inReach before it died, but knew that may be overkill if she ended up getting up Crestone Needle and back down without a problem.

Eventually, Ton was able to summit Crestone Needle and make her way down, but the experience alone in the Crestones shook Ton, mak-

First-time author, Michael Lee releases children’s book

BY HALEY LENA HLENA@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Blending his passion for technology and art into adventure, rst-time author Michael Lee published “Drone Away From Home” to help encourage younger audiences to read and inspire readers to explore.

Lee, a military veteran, was rst inspired to tell a story of adventure after moving to Colorado in 2010 and seeing the beauty of the state. When his three children were young, he used to take them to the park where they would y kites.

Lee wrote a story called “ e Kite in the Cloud,” but was not completely satis ed with it, leaving the story to sit in his computer.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, Lee was looking for a creative outlet and decided to come back to the story.

ing her debate if she even wanted to complete the rest of the record attempt.

“I have only had a few close calls in the mountains before and that was one of them,” Ton said. “It kind of made me evaluate some things.”

Instead of bailing from the project completely, Ton decided to pivot to some “easier” 14ers in the Sawatch Range, which she has done dozens of times before.

Although the Class 2 peaks in the Sawatch Range did give Ton a fair amount of con dence, her lack of sleep made her continue to question if the chasing after the record was worth the risks.

“I went into this project leaving the sleep element out,” Ton said. “ e rst three days, I moved really fast through the San Juan peaks and I only got an hour and a half of sleep those rst three days. It catches up with you fast.”

In severe sleep deprivation and swirling summer storms, Ton made a rm shift from chasing after her personal time goal of 12 to 13 days, to just nishing the attempt.

She ultimately persevered and was able to set the rst ever summer 14ers women’s self-supported fastest-known time record with a time of 14 days, 10 hours. Ton nished

“You don’t see too many people ying a kite nowadays,” said Lee. “I swapped out the kite for drones and made it much more interesting.”

“Drone Away From Home” is a story that involves friendship, overcoming obstacles and going on a worldwide adventure.

Lee’s story is about a young boy named Darius and his drone friend, Finton. One day, Finton gets lost in a storm and meets a cloud named Sophia who helps him nd his way back to Darius.

“You just hear all the stories of how you know, kids weren’t reading during the pandemic,” said Lee. “My goal was to help inspire kids to both read and write about technology.”

Lee got a master’s degree in Information Technology and is now an engineer. Lee said this book and his future books are going to infuse technology, whether it’s about how

“I was really happy to nish on Capitol,” Ton said. “It was super meaningful to me personally, because I remember when I climbed all the 14ers for the rst time, I was looking at pictures of the nice edge on Capitol and thought, ‘No way I would ever do that.’ Now, it is cool to re ect back on my progress. I am not a super emotional person, but I did shed a few tears.”

Since claiming the record, Ton has taken a few hours to recover, but has already ventured out the door to do some easy climbs in Boulder and the surrounding area. She doesn’t know if she will ever reattempt the women’s summer 14ers record, but she does have several ideas for her next big feat of endurance.

“I had been contemplating going after the women’s self-supported record for the Colorado Trail late September, early fall time, prior to starting (the 14ers record),” Ton said. “I am going to see how recovery goes and how my body is holding up, but I always have a long list of mountain adventures I want to do.”

“Drone Away From Home” is the start of a series. Lee plans to have another book come out next year.  e next book will be a kind of prequel as it will take kids through the process of how a drone is created in a factory and the tests drones have to go through before they can go to a store to be sold.

Lee also plans to write multiple spin-o series based on the cloud, the drone and the little boy from “Drone Away From Home” each having their own series.

For “Drone Away From Home” Lee commissioned illustrator, Nyrryl Cadiz, from the Philippines and together, they created the images for the book.

Lee’s book was published by Book Baby in June and on Aug. 19 from 1 to 3:30 p.m., he will be holding an event

at the Highlands Ranch Library to celebrate the launch of the book.  e book is available at Book Baby Bookshop, Amazon, Walmart, Barnes & Noble and Wheelers Books for $17.99.

Deaths of homeless people in Denver surge

BY OLIVIA PRENTZEL THE COLORADO SUN

e number of deaths among Denver’s homeless population so far in 2023 has spiked more than 50% compared with the number recorded at this time last year.

If the upward trend continues, deaths among people who are unhoused could reach an all-time high, with accidental overdoses continuing to drive the surge, according to data from Denver’s O ce of the Medical Examiner.

So far in 2023, 166 people who were homeless have died, marking a 53% increase from 108 at this

time last year, data show, and a 69% uptick from this time in 2021, when there were 98. is year’s data is preliminary, but unlikely to signicantly change.

e deaths mirror an overall increase of people living on the city’s streets in the past year.

e homeless population in the Denver metro area grew 31.7% in one year and the number of people who became homeless for the rst time saw a 51.7% increase, according to data released last month from an annual count led by the Metro Denver Homeless Initiative.

Since June 1, 43 people who were homeless have died in Den-

ver, including 18 people who died on the streets, data show. In June alone, 31 deaths of homeless people were recorded, Ethan Jamison, an epidemiologist with the O ce of the Medical Examiner said.

“It’s not the highest we’ve ever seen, but it continued this upward trend that we’ve seen starting since, essentially December of last year, where we’re seeing record-high numbers of deaths among people experiencing homelessness every month, except for March and May,” Jamison said.

Similar to years past, accidental overdoses are driving the increase.

“We see the homeless population

increasing, unfortunately, and so I think we’re just seeing similarly that increasing in our death data, coupled with the tightening grip of fentanyl in our communities that use substances,” he said.

“I think it’s kind of just these chronic issues that continue to grow.”

Amid the uptick, Denver Mayor Mike Johnston declared a state of emergency to address homelessness last month and announced that he plans to house 1,000 unsheltered people by the end of the year.

Colorado clinics improving mental and behavioral health standards

BY ERIC GALATAS PUBLIC NEWS SERVICE

A state-federal partnership is helping safety-net mental health centers in Colorado deepen the services they provide, which is improving access and outcomes for people struggling with mental illness.

Sara Reid, grants and program evaluation manager for Mental Health Partners, said because getting to appointments across town

can be a signi cant barrier, especially for people in crisis, her team now has seven outreach workers embedded where people who need help already are.

“Places like food pantries and other types of community partners,” Reid explained. “So that the people who are there getting other types of services don’t have to then go somewhere else to try to get connected with behavioral health care.”

Colorado currently has seven

Certi ed Community Behavioral Health Clinics. Clinics getting federal funds are required to serve anyone who asks for mental health or substance abuse care, regardless of their ability to pay, place of residence, or age, including developmentally appropriate care for children and youth.

Frank Cornelia, deputy executive director of the Colorado Behavioral Health Care Council, said new national standards set by the program are key for addressing a persistent opioid addiction crisis. Certi ed clinics are required to get people into care quickly, provide crisis services 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and o er the full array of behavioral health services so people who need care don’t have to piece it together themselves.

“Not just mental health services, but a full complement of community-based substance-use disorder services,” Cornelia outlined. “We know that people deal with both

conditions at the same time, and we need to treat both conditions at the same time. And we get better outcomes when we do that.”

Certi ed clinics also help patients navigate the intersections between behavioral and physical health care, social services and other programs. Reid noted stable housing is often a precursor to success in other areas of life, and her team has seen better results for most clients within six months of entering care.

“Nearly all of the clients we work with are seeing improvement in stable housing,” Reid reported. “We’re able to help people move o of the streets and nd housing, and then that helps them stay engaged in other types of care and services, it helps them build success in their own lives.”

Lawsuit aims to persuade voters to not mess with TABOR

BY JESSE PAUL THE COLORADO SUN

A law passed by Democrats in 2021 that’s intended to make it harder to persuade Colorado voters to cut their taxes is the target of a federal lawsuit led Aug. 7 by a conservative group that’s perpetually trying to reduce the state’s sales, income and property tax rates through ballot questions.

“ e initiative process exists in Colorado to ensure that citizens have a voice when it comes to enacting policy reforms in areas where the legislature has failed to act,” Michael Fields, who leads Advance Colorado, said in a written statement. “Politicians at the Capitol have unconstitutionally stacked the deck against citizen-driven ballot initiatives that reduce taxes, and Advance Colorado is suing to ensure that ballot initiatives generated by citizens are described accurately on the ballot and not subject to compelled speech or governmentenforced lies.”

Advance Colorado is what e Colorado Sun refers to as a darkmoney group because it doesn’t reveal its donors. e nonpro t has taken up the Republican policy and legal mantle in Colorado in recent years since the GOP is in a historic minority at the state Capitol. e 2026 election will be the party’s next real shot at winning back a majority.

Advance Colorado also recently sued Democrats in the Colorado Senate over their use of a secret voting system to prioritize state spending.

e 2021 legislation, House Bill 1321, was passed by Democrats and signed into law by Gov. Jared Polis. It requires that voters be informed of three programs and services that would be most a ected by ballot

questions decreasing taxes. (For state tax reductions, that’s likely to always be K-12 education, higher education, and health care policy and nancing, namely Medicaid.)

e measure mandates that ballot initiatives cutting statewide taxes appear in the following format: “Shall there be a reduction to the (description of tax) by (the percentage by which the tax is reduced in the rst full scal year that the measure reduces revenue) thereby reducing state revenue, which will reduce funding for state expenditures that include but are not limited to (the three largest areas of program expenditure)?”

e bill was a clever imitation of the Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights, the 1992 constitutional amendment and Republican heartthrob that requires all tax increases that go before voters to scream the question in this all-caps format: “SHALL STATE TAXES BE INCREASED $(AMOUNT) ANNUALLY?”

But Advance Colorado argues in its lawsuit that House Bill 1321 violates the U.S. Constitution because it requires tax-cutting ballot measures to mislead voters with “poison-pill language” in some instances.

Not all state tax cuts immediately reduce the amount of money that can be spent on state programs and services in Colorado. at’s because TABOR also caps the amount of government growth and spending each year to the annual increase in in ation and population. It requires that any tax revenue collected above that cap be refunded to taxpayers, thus making it unavailable for state programs and services.

In other words, spending on programs and services is not reduced in years when the TABOR cap is exceeded — and the cap has been exceeded repeatedly in recent years and revenue is forecast to exceed the cap through at least the next several scal years.

“ e state is violating the First Amendment by mandating untrue language on the ballot,” Fields said in his statement.

e lawsuit says the state’s Title Board, which determines the language of ballot measures, has even noted the discrepancy.

“ e Title Board has held that it has no discretion to edit or eliminate this language even under circumstances where the members of the Title Board do not believe that it accurately describes the measure at issue,” the suit says.

Advance Colorado is the lead plainti in the case, but it’s joined

by former U.S. Sen. Hank Brown, Logan County Commissioner Jerry Sonnenberg, Mesa County Commissioner Cody Davis, El Paso County Commissioner Carrie Geitner and Englewood City Councilman Steven Ward.

Troy Eid, a former U.S. attorney in Colorado under President George W. Bush, is representing the plainti s. Eid’s wife is a judge on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit.

e defendants are Gov. Jared Polis and Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold, whose o ce is where the Title Board is housed.

Annie Orlo , a spokeswoman for Griswold, said the Secretary of State’s O ce is reviewing the lawsuit.

“Generally, it is important that Colorado voters have information to adequately consider the impact of tax cuts,” Orlo said.

e governor’s o ce declined to comment on pending litigation.

Survey says: ‘Use shot clock for high school basketball’

BY STEVE SMITH SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA

To loosely paraphrase Skakespeare, “to use a shot clock or not to use a shot clock.” at is the question before the Colorado High School Activities Association.

CHSAA’s rst board meeting of the academic year included the results of a survey on shot clock use. CHSAANow.com said three in ve athletic directors and district athletic directors wanted a shot clock in high school basketball. Seven in 10 metro area schools supported it; more than half of the rural schools didn’t. More than 300 people participated in the survey.

Here are 5 things to know about Brighton volleyball’s new coaching duo

BY JOHN RENFROW JRENFROW@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

An exciting pair has taken over the junior varsity volleyball team at Brighton High School, but it’s more of a welcome home than the start of a new journey.

Kiahna Infante-Escamilla and Keilani Infante might be familiar to fans of the program. ey grew up in Brighton. And although they live just outside a major metropolis, they consider themselves “small town people.” at’s why they came back to the Front Range after college, and don’t plan on going anywhere else soon.

“We do like to do big things in our community, though,” InfanteEscamilla said. “We work with the Boys and Girls club and I work with an elementary school in town. So we try to give back to the community, and we do it through volleyball because we both enjoy it.”

I sat down with the duo to learn more about their plans for Brighton High School’s JV program and the team’s upcoming season. Here are ve things I learned:

1. If you hadn’t guessed, the two are sisters

Growing up, Keilani Infante said the two did everything together. So when Kiahna Infante-Escamilla joined the coaching sta back when Infante was a freshman at Brighton, Infante said she knew she wanted to eventually get involved.

Getting to learn from her sister and help teach others was something she had to be a part of.

“I’ve always just been used to doing everything with my sister, so we’re like ‘Well, yeah let’s coach together.’” Infante said. “We already do so much, and this is just kind of the cherry on top.”

2. Both went to Brighton and played on the volleyball team

Infante-Escamilla has been on the coaching sta at Brighton for six years, and is now the head coach of the JV team. Her sister Infante is joining her this season for the rst time as an assistant coach.

But both are very familiar with the program and facilities. Infante-

SHOT CLOCK

School) and former Horizon boys basketball coach Brandon Brown – now the coach at Eaglecrest High School in Aurora – would rather see a shot clock.

“Overall, it’s the best thing for the development of our athletes and our brand of basketball,” Brown said.

“We played club basketball with a shot clock this year. ( ere were) minimum clock malfunctions, the game was faster. And it forces teams

BRIGHTON

Escamilla graduated in 2013, and joined the coaching sta when Infante was a freshman during the 2017-18 season.

Infante then graduated in 2021 and wanted to return to high school volleyball considering her senior season was shut down due to the pandemic.

“I had gone out of state for school, and then you always just come back home, back to your roots,” Infante said. “It’s good to be able to do that and stand by my sister.”

“We both went there, so it’s pretty awesome to be a part of things like the homecoming parade and support the other sports,” Infante-Escamilla said. “We go to the football games and basketball games and just try to do hometown things.”

3. Both are passionate about making an impact on and o the court

Both told me the desire to get into coaching goes beyond the wins and losses on the record at the end of the year. ey already spoke about supporting the community in Brighton and attending the other sporting events at the school.

But it’s all about how they can impact those closest to them on a daily basis — their players.

“I know how much of an impact my coaches made on me, so I’m hoping that we can do the same for our girls now,” Infante said. “I’m excited to be back in high school volleyball.”

4. They’ll have a very young team in 2023

After losing seven seniors to graduation, development will be

to execute end-of-quarter/end-ofgame situations without stalling it out. I’m a big fan of the shot clock.”

e board also heard some concerns, such as cost, availability of workers and potential disadvantages for weaker teams. CHSAA states more than half of the United States will be using a shot clock by the end of the next school year.

CHSAA’s board plans to continue conversations. e goal is to present a recommendation to the association’s legislative council in time for its January meeting. Earlier this spring, CHSAA’s basketball committee “strongly” recommended use of

the name of the game this season, Infante-Escamilla said. But she’s looking forward to teaching fundamentals and technique again.

“I think this year is de nitely going to be more development-based, so I’m kind of excited to get back to teaching the game of volleyball,” she said. “Because usually — I do JV — so I usually get the girls who already pretty much know the foundation of volleyball. But we have a very young crowd and group of girls I’m excited to teach and reteach to get them to that next level.”

Infante will get a front row seat to watch her older sister with a young team, and she said she’s looking forward to learning how to communicate better as a coach.

“Honestly, she just works with kids a lot better than I do,” Infante said. “I think overall that’s what I’ve learned most is to interact with those younger than me, and she does really well with it. I’m excited to build on that.”

5. Both are excited about the move to the 5A Front Range league

Last season was Brighton’s rst season in the 5A Front Range League after years of dominating the 5A East Metro League. e varsity team nished eighth in the conference with an 8-5 record last season after two undefeated conference records the two years prior in the 5A East Metro league.

Infante-Escamilla said the move makes for more challenging competition year in and year out. Last season was much tougher, she said. at might mean tempering expectations for a young team, but the coaching duo said that won’t be an excuse going forward.

“Knowing that I have such a young group of girls in this more competitive league, I think I’m going to focus more on teambuilding

the shot clock “In the near future.”

Other rule changes

e National Federation of High Schools changed the rules for teams that commit too many fouls in each quarter of their games.

e sixth foul in a quarter (a change from the previous ve fouls per half) will put the opposing team “in the bonus.” It also means two free throws per common foul for the balance of the quarter instead of a one-and-one scenario. Team fouls reset after each quarter.

LOOKING FOR WITNESS TO ACCIDENT

Our family was watching fireworks on 32nd Ave in Golden on the 4th of July a few miles west of COORS Brewery. We were standing outside of our car when a speeding car slammed into our car and the impact forcing my husband (78) and me (76) to the ground. We were both taken by ambulance to St Anthony Hospital. We both sustained serious injuries.

The driver of the speeding car left the scene in a Acura ILX, possibly white. That car sustained driver side front end damage. The Golden Police should be notified if anyone has any information. 303384-8085

on lessness mayor’s statement the the while Denver each said policy Coalition who than facility, homelessness able that you’re health been thing services housing

on the streets every week, homelessness in Denver is a crisis,” the mayor’s o ce said in a written statement last week.

e uptick in deaths since June, the statement said, “underscores the urgency of the situation.”

e number of people who die while they are homeless in the Denver metro area has gone up each year for the past seven years, said Cathy Alderman, a public policy o cer for the Colorado Coalition for the Homeless.

Recording the number of people who have died on the streets, rather than inside a hospital or a medical facility, speaks to the isolation that homelessness can cause.

“You don’t even feel comfortable enough to tell somebody that you’re not feeling well or that you’re having a hard time with a health care condition or you’ve been criminally attacked or something like that,” Alderman said.

More supportive and adequate services to connect people with housing is needed to reverse the

“alarming” trend, she said.

“Housing is critical — lifesaving for everybody — it’s like the opportunity to thrive. But it literally means life and death for some people.”

I can’t believe it has been over 21 years since I retired as Westminster’s City Manager. Certainly, the naming of the four elds which was started on my watch (without any name assigned to the elds), was a highlight of my 33 year career with the City of Westminster. It was indeed a humbling experience. As Brent McFall mentioned at the dedication of McFall Park, those of us in city management choose this profession not expecting to be recognized or honored in such public ways. It used to be that you didn’t do it for the money. Public service can be a gratifying career. However, in general, it has become a much more challenging line of work these days what with partisan politics, constant hecklers, single issue candidates and more. Anyway, I hope to see you at Christopher Fields for a fun time. Activities at the elds start at 6 pm.. and nish at 8 p.m.
