construction bans, median rip-outs BY MICHAEL BOOTH THE COLORADO SUN

Broomfield has joined a swelling wave of Colorado communities sharply limiting thirsty turf grass in new development, with more communities about to follow, while other cities and parks departments are starting to rip out useless grass in medians and rights of way for replacement with water-wise landscapes. State water officials, meanwhile, have closed out the first year of $1.5 million in local turf removal grants with nearly 40 applications for the money, and water resource experts hope to use the momentum from the antiturf evolution to create a bigger state-funded buyback next year. “The momentum toward waterwise landscape transformation is unprecedented in the last year or two,” said Lindsay Rogers, SEE TURF WARS, P8

Thornton City council meeting results in arrest of activist BY JANE REUTER JREUTER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

As they have repeatedly, citizens lambasted the Thornton City Council during the Oct. 10 public comment portion of its meeting, a session that culminated with the arrest of a local political activist. For the second time in less than a month, Dariush Namazi refused to leave the speaker’s podium after his allotted three minutes of speaking time elapsed — prompting another meeting shutdown. Namazi said this week that repeated requests to the city attorney and other staff to talk about grievances he has with the city have been ignored. “I’m standing here until you give me a meeting,” he said. As she did Sept. 26 when Namazi did not stop speaking, Mayor Jan Kulmann called for a recess and asked the council to vacate the chambers. Thornton police did not allow Namazi to return to the September meeting. This time, they arrested Namazi.

He was charged with disrupting a lawful assembly and trespass or interference in a public building, both misdemeanors. In the past several months, Namazi has become a familiar figure at both council meetings and to police. The 29-year-old claims to be the mayor’s political ally, but says he’s actually protesting against Kulmann, an Xcel Energy director he believes is a far-right Republican. This week’s incident marked his second arrest in Thornton. Police cited him in July for allegedly violating a restraining order that he stay 15 feet from the mayor. The district attorney laterdismissed those charges. A statement from Thornton Communications Director Todd Barnes said the council “has a responsibility to conduct the business of the city” during its meetings and “to ensure that all speakers are treated equally.” Barnes said Police Chief Terrence Gordon recommended charging Namazi. “We have to treat our citizens with equity and fairness, not elevate

someone just because he has political allies on the council,” Kulmann said. “As a city, we can’t give Dariush — or what character he is playing that day — extra time or attention at the expense of other residents. He can continue to campaign as he sees fit, he can submit written comments and continue to address council under the same offerings as every other person.” While Namazi’s arrest was the end of public comment, he was among a long list of frustrated speakers. High emotion from both the public and councilors has characterized Thornton council meetings for several months. Much of the ire is directed at Kulmann, along with several other councilors some citizens call the “Bully Bloc”. That name stems from a pattern of voting in which the mayor, Mayor Pro Tem Jessica Sandgren and Councilors Tony Unrein, David Acunto, Eric Garcia and Adam Matkowsky often vote on the opposite side of Councilors Kathy Henson, Julia Marvin and Karen Bigelow. “As a 45-year resident of Thornton, I’m embarrassed and ashamed of the behavior of the majority of the council, especially the mayor,” said Sandra Wolfe. “We need to vote and elect adults who will move our city onward and forward. We can’t afford mismanagement and the type of behaviors and actions that have been displayed over the past several months.” Suzanne Cabral said Kulmann has cost the city’s taxpayers thousands in legal proceedings, detailing a long list of actions and related expenses. As mayor, Kulmann has been involved in multiple controversies. Justin Martinez, a council candidate from Ward 1, encouraged the council to take citizen comments to heart. “People are upset, people are angry and they want to be heard,” he said. “I think that if we look at the pattern and the growing number of people coming to council, the level of anger rising — we’re not doing something right. I would ask the council to be a little bit introspective, ask themselves why the problems are getting worse and not better. “I understand a lot of the things these people are saying don’t make you feel good, but that doesn’t mean

they’re not valid. If the council members and mayor were to meet with us more — despite the anger— I think the situation could cool down.” Council response Councilors had varied responses to the public comment. Councilmember Matkowsky suggested moving public and council comments from the beginning of the meeting to the end “to avoid our council meetings getting hijacked like this.” His motion died for lack of a second. Sandgren said she has not experienced the lack of responsiveness from city staff that some citizens mentioned. “I think city staff does an excellent job following up, so I’m not sure where that one is coming from,” she said. “Listening to my constituents is something I‘ve taken to heart since I was elected. Having every week someone scream at me and call me names is not the way I have a listening session. “I’ll continue calling out the misinformation week after week as it continues to be spread in this chamber.” Sandgren added that many of the concerns and the people voicing them are not new. “If I go back on social media, I can find some of the same comments coming from some of the same people in this room eight years ago,” she said. In what Council member Kathy Henson said is an effort to address communication concerns, she announced she is relaunching Ward 1 citizen meetings. Mayor Kulmann thanked those who spoke, but added, “I want to apologize to all our residents (and) staff who don’t need to be subject to the continued public antics we’re seeing. Hopefully in the next couple weeks, that’ll come to an end.” Thornton municipal elections are Nov. 7. Kulmann, Garcia and Acunto are seeking re-election. Marvin is challenging Kulmann for the mayor’s seat. Matkowsky is term limited, and his wife Nicole is running for his seat. Other candidates include Roberta Ayala, Angie Bedolla, Mark Gormley, Justin Martinez and Chris Russell. Visit Thornton’selection information pagefor details on the candidates.

Uplands construction begins BY JANE REUTER JREUTER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Developers closed a small cutthrough street on the Uplands property Oct. 2, the first sign of the development to come. In the coming 18 to 24 months, the developer plans extensive roadwork they say will significantly improve the flow of traffic in the area. The .2-mile portion of Shaw Boulevard connected 84th Avenue to Lowell Boulevard and served as a cutthrough to bypass the Lowell/84th signal interchange. Chad Ellington, a partner of Peak Development Group, said the cutthrough has been a safety concern for Westminster, and road improvements to nearby intersections are in the first phase of the Uplands development. A detention pond for the new community, which needs to be constructed early in the process, is planned for that area. A total of 2,350 homes of various styles and price points will be built on the 234-acre Uplands property,

which historically was a working farm. Development plans call for making traffic improvements from the outside in, with changes on the perimeter of the Uplands parcel occurring first. Internal roadwork will come later. “While we’re eliminating one traffic movement, we have a whole new road network that will provide a lot more connectivity than Shaw Boulevard does today,” he said. “We’ll be starting the work in the next week or two, and improvements to Lowell, 84th, Federal and 88th are all in the first phase.” Future plans for the area call for left turn lanes on all four corners of Lowell and 84th, and the addition of bicycle lanes, sidewalks and landscaping. Long-time neighboring homeowners, many of whom have protested the Uplands development, stood together this week and watched as heavy equipment tore out the former cut-through street. “It’s heartbreaking,” said Karen

Ray, a resident of Shaw Heights and part of the Save the Farm citizens group. “It’s confirmation that they’re going to tear out the historic farm and put in this subdivision. To watch what should have been a protected open space being torn up … it was sad.” Since the cut-through street has closed, Ray said traffic is backing up at Lowell and 84th. She and other neighbors are concerned about the increased risk of accidents and future traffic congestion as the Uplands is developed. City officials said the impact of closing the cut-through was part of a traffic study. A 2021 study showed traffic flow at 84th and Lowell was rated a “B” for level of service, and that rating would not change if the cut-through closed. A “B” level of service indicates traffic flows “reasonably free.” Traffic levels of service are rated A through F, with F indicating “forced or breakdown flow.” “Traffic impact is always a concern for the community and city

staff, and it was closely reviewed and considered,” said Westminster communications manager Andy Le. “The best data we have available shows the level of service through that intersection will not be significantly changed (by the closure).” Le said the city will monitor traffic throughout the project’s development, and will “request changes and modifications should the level of service fall below our standards.” Ellington said developers have tried to keep neighbors involved and up-to-date on the project, including road changes. “We’ve really gone above and beyond the city’s process for notification, keeping the community apprised of what’s happening,” he said. “We’re never going to make everybody happy.” Ray is among many in the area who’d hoped the city would buy the private property and preserve it as open space. “I’m not anti-development, but at the same time, part of public health is having open spaces,” she said.

Abandoned Westminster school set for redevelopment BY JANE REUTER JREUTER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A long-vacant building widely considered a Westminster eyesore will soon be redeveloped into an apartment building. The Westminster City Council unanimously approved plans for Midland Lofts during their Oct. 9 meeting. Developers said the 18 rental units will bring new life to what’s now called the Midland Building at Irving and 72nd streets. Built in 1973 as office space, and later housing a charter school, the brick, white-columned structure has more recently attracted squatters and graffiti vandals. Illustrations show a redesigned exterior with a large common space, and developers described

modern, energy-efficient units. The building will include eight spaces designed as live/work units on the ground floor, and 10 apartments on the second floor. “We think by transforming this long-blighted site’s use and function, as well as design integrity, we will be enhancing the site itself as well as the surrounding community in a meaningful and economically viable way,” Praxis Design principal Nicholas Antonopoulos said during the public hearing. Plans call for restoring the brick façade and using new materials and features to bring the existing structure up to date. Antonopoulos described “generous balconies, permanent canopy covers, metal railings, new column supports and new cladding to complement the

existing brick masonry.” “This will give the building new dimension, depth and a distinctive quality that will bring it back to life,” he said. Praxis is working with Metro Design Group on the project, and Metro’s Dennis Finn said the changes will be extensive, including work to correct site drainage and other issues. Westminster citizens and councilors gave the project a thumbs up, though long-time resident John Palmer raised several concerns, including the impact of any previous illegal activity. “We all know what’s been going on down there for years … the druggies, the homeless, down there with fentanyl, meth and god knows what else,” he said. “This unit needs

to be cleaned up and certified before we start moving families or residents in. “It’s not that I’m against the project. I just think there are several questions that need to be answered.” Gus Nicholson, who owned the building from 2004 to 2018, spoke for the redevelopment. Under his ownership, the building housed Ricardo Flores Magon Academy charter school. Nicholson said when the school moved, it broke the lease, and a lawsuit ensued. Neighbor Gerald Nunez is happy with the proposal. “It’s been an eyesore for 7 to 10 years,” he said. “If it was lit up, bums wouldn’t come around as much. I believe it’ll be good for our community.”

Northglenn candidates scrap on budget, other issues Candidates vying for mayor and council seats make their pitches at forum BY JANE REUITER JREUTER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

All 13 candidates seeking the lead Northglenn square off Oct. 11 during a candidates forum. Northglenn will elect a new mayor and two new councilors during the Nov. 7 election. The city’s residents will choose their three new representatives from among nine candidates. Three people, including the incumbent mayor Leighty, are running for mayor. Three people are also seeking a seat in Ward 2, and another three are running for an open spot in Ward 4. All of them, along with three councilors running unopposed,

shared their thoughts about the city during an Oct. 11 candidate forum. The League of Women Voters hosted the event, questioning the mayoral and two ward candidates separately. The mayoral candidates gave the most spirited and differing responses. While Leighty believes the city is on a good track, both Long and Bromley see plenty of room for improvement. “I’m just so proud of our city; I love everything we’ve been doing since I got here,” said Leighty, an elementary school principal elected to council in 2017 and serving as mayor since 2019. “I’m proud of the partnerships and teamwork on our council. Our city staff (is) amazing. We’re really headed in a fantastic direction, and I’m excited to keep that momentum going.” In sharp contrast, candidate Long said he believes Northglenn is at “a tipping point.” “Looking at the budget that was presented to us Monday evening, for the next five years we’ll be

underwater,” said Long, appointed to the council in February to fill a vacancy. “We have more expenses than we have revenues. If that doesn’t concern the average voter out there, I don’t know what can.” Long, a consultant with a background in hospital administration, cited ballooning costs for the new city hall, and needed improvements to roads, as well as the water and wastewater treatment facilities. He said some current expenditures could be cut or greatly reduced. “We need to turn back some of these expenses that are a little bit virtue signaling,” he said. Bromley sees top-heavy management in Northglenn’s city government. “I know the city can be a lot better than it currently is,” said Bromley, a writer and owner of MPB Enterprises who grew up in Northglenn. “I know how to fix things and get things done. We should be able to do a lot more with the resources we have. A lot of it gets misspent and misdirected. I should have been mayor in 2019 because our city just did not go the right way. It has spent too much of our budget on a lot of parties and festivities (and) created a lot of bureaucracies.” Leighty defended the city’s financial status. “I’m going to counter the doomsday approach and let you know we are in a strong financial position,” she said. “We will have plenty of reserves next year and for the next two years. There are different factors at play regarding revenues and expenditures we will revisit every year. We have enough money to do what the residents are asking us to do, which is continue building a strong and inclusive community.” Ward 2 candidates

Ward 2 candidates Garcia Pascoe and Nowicki, who would both be serving as elected officials for the first time, have lots of love and few concerns about their home city. Yale did not attend the forum. “Northglenn has everything,” said Garcia Pascoe, a 2-year resident who works for a home health care company. “It’s easy to get around from here. and it’s a little bit away from the big city too. It’s got a niceto-meet-ya feel.

“I want to be engaged in my community. The three things I’m focusing on (are) safe neighborhoods, accountable leadership and attracting businesses so we can raise funds and keep our city growing and moving in the right direction.” Nowicki is a mental health therapist who moved to Northglenn in 2019. “I love this small-town feel right on the outskirts of a major metropolitan area,” he said. “Certainly that brings some challenges. But I think Northglenn has an opportunity for a lot of celebration of joy.” Nowicki’s five areas of concern are safety, support of police and the city’s Crisis Response Unit, addressing homelessness and housing, encouraging economic development, maintaining and improving infrastructure and ensuring transparency and community engagement. Ward 4 candidates

Like their Ward 2 counterparts, the three candidates in Ward 4 are newcomers to local politics who share a passion for Northglenn. Thompson, a six-year resident and an attorney, said he looks forward to analyzing the budget and ensuring it is balanced. “My career as a lawyer has given me some skills in analyzing, solving problems, working with and debating people,” he said. “That is a skill I bring, and part of being on the city council is getting to the bottom of (any budget questions). “One thing I think everyone would agree Northglenn would benefit from is a culture that continues to promote small- and medium-sized businesses. Roper, a 20-year Northglenn resident and Adams 12 Five Star Schools assistant principal, said she learned to lead with flexibility while working as an educator during the pandemic. “We have to be willing to make those hard decisions when the time comes,” she said. “I think our city has done a great job of aligning themselves with the strategic plan … how are we prioritizing safety, youth advocacy, our unhoused individuals, how are we making sure everyone’s needs are met but being responsible.”

Ward 1 Thornton community meetings set to resume BY JANE REUTER JREUTER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Thornton City Councilor Kathy Henson is resuming monthly Ward 1 meetings, saying she hopes stepped-up community engagement will help answer her constituents’ questions and concerns. The first meeting will be from 1 to 3 p.m. Oct. 21 at the McAllister Park Center, 750 W 96th Ave. The city will host its quarterly Thornton Community Meeting, at 6 p.m. Oct. 19 at Community Connections, 9471 Dorothy Blvd. That site is also in Ward 1. The citywide community meetings began in August 2022 in lieu of ward meetings. Held in rotating locations throughout Thornton, community meetings aim to connect with elect-

ed officials and city employees for discussion or information on any city program, service or concern. Thornton is geographically divided into four wards, with two elected representatives from each ward. Henson and Councilor Eric Garcia represent Ward 1, and Henson said residents there say they miss the geographically specific meetings. Those semiannual meetings were held in town hall-style, while the community meetings are more informal. “They are different from what we used to call ward meetings,” Henson said. “I don’t think it needs to be a contest (between the two). I think both events are good. The more community engagement we have, the safer, the stronger, the healthier communities are.”

Henson will likely be the sole city representative at the ward meeting. City staff will not attend. Garcia said he also will not attend the Oct. 21 event, but will be at the Thornton Community Meeting. “It’s not that I don’t feel (the ward meetings) are necessary,” he said. “The community is open to hold any meetings they’d like if they have things they’d like to talk about among themselves. The City of Thornton hosts a lot of meetings for the community. Our community meeting is on Oct. 19. “These community meetings we introduced last year have been very well attended by the majority of the community, compared to (ward-specific) town halls we had in the past. It’s an open format, and we have every one of our depart-

ments represented. It’s a great design for one-on-one conversations where you can bring up questions, concerns with executive-level staff. They’re amazing meetings.” Henson said she plans to attend both meetings. “It’s my job to be there on the 19th and I am happy to attend,” she said. “I also think it’s my job to have a ward meeting at (the residents’) request, and I believe in the benefit of it.” She expects Ward 1 residents may want to discuss homeless outreach, the Thornton Shopping Center redevelopment, public safety and the Niver Creek Open Space among other issues. Ward 1 is in southwest Thornton and is the most historic part of the city.

Thistle photo earns honor for budding photographer Brighton nine-year-old earns honorable mention from Audubon contest BY BELEN WARD BWARD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Brighton’s own Greyson Carvalho took home the Honorable Mention in the Youth Landscape category of the Jamestown, New York, Audubon Community Nature Center 2023 Nature Photography Contest. “I was really happy and excited when I got an honorable mention,” Carvalho said. Carvalho is nine years old, turn-

ing ten on October 25. He attends Brantner Elementary in Thornton, and he and his family have lived in Brighton for eight years. “I started taking photos about six months ago when I got my first phone and it had a great camera. Since then, it has become a hobby of mine. I love to take pictures of nature. Flowers and plants and insects are my favorite,” Carvalho said. Carvalho said once his mom saw that he liked photography, she did a Google search to find photo contests that are open to kids. It’s how they found the Audubon Community Nature Center in New York. He has entered other photos into two different contests, too. “I chose the Thistle because my

family was camping and we were taking a walk and I saw it. I liked the colors and the background behind it. I plan to continue taking pictures of plants and flowers, “ Carvalho said. “I was so excited and proud of him! I am happy he has found a hobby that allows him to be creative. He tries to find the best lighting and angles for his photos. He won’t hesitate to lay on the ground to get the shot he wants,” said Jessica Carvalho, Greyson’s mom. The Audubon photography contest is an annual contest for youths ages 8 to 18 and Adults ages 19 and older. The categories for entries are photos of wildlife, any non-captive species, landscapes,

and plants. Judges do not know the photographers’ names or hometowns. Judges selected finals of Adult and youth winners and honorable mentions nationwide. The funds raised from the contest go back into 1,400 nature education programs with the Audubon Community Nature Center, located at 1600 Riverdale Road, one-quarter mile east of Route 62 between Jamestown, N.Y., and Warren, Pa.

School naloxone standard, despite stigma worries BY RAE ELLEN BICHELL AND VIRGINIA GARCIA PIVIK KFF HEALTH NEWS

Last year, a student fell unconscious after walking out of a bathroom at Central High School in Pueblo, Colorado. When Jessica Foster, the school district’s lead nurse, heard the girl’s distraught friends mention drugs, she knew she had to act fast. Emergency responders were just four minutes away. “But still four minutes — if they are completely not breathing, it’s four minutes too long,” Foster said. Foster said she got a dose of naloxone, a medication that can rap-

idly reverse an opioid overdose, and gave it to the student. The girl revived. Forty-five miles away in Colorado Springs, Mitchell High School officials didn’t have naloxone on hand when a 15-year-old student overdosed in class in December 2021 after snorting a fentanyl-laced pill in a school bathroom.

program that allows schools to obtain the medicine, typically in nasal spray form, for free or at a reduced cost. Not all schools are on board with the idea, though. Though more districts have signed on since last year, only about a third of Colorado districts had enrolled in the state’s giveaway program at the start of this school year. And within the dozen counties with the highest drug overdose death rates in the state, many school districts had not signed up in the face of ongoing stigma around the need for the overdose reversal medication. The federal Substance Abuse and

Mental Health Services Administration recommends that schools, including elementary schools, keep naloxone on hand as fatal opioid overdoses rise, particularly from the potent drug fentanyl. And 33 states have laws that expressly allow schools or school employees to carry, store, or administer naloxone, according to Jon Woodruff, managing attorney at the Legislative Analysis and Public Policy Association, which tracks naloxone policies across the country. Among those, about nine states require at least some K-12 schools to SEE STIGMA, P11

store naloxone on-site, including Illinois, whose requirement goes into effect in January. Some states, such as Maine, also require that public schools offer training to students in how to administer naloxone in nasal spray form. Rhode Island requires all K-12 schools, both public and private, to stock naloxone. Joseph Wendelken, a spokesperson for the Rhode Island Department of Health, said in the past four years naloxone was administered nine times to people ages 10 to 18 in educational settings. In early September, the medication also became available over the counter nationally, though the $45 price tag per two-dose package has some addiction specialists worried

it will be out of reach for those who need it most. But the medicine still isn’t as publicly widespread as automated external defibrillators or fire extinguishers. Kate King, president of the National Association of School Nurses, said reluctance to stock it in schools can stem from officials being afraid to provide a medical service or the ongoing cost of resupplying the naloxone and training people to use it. But the main hang-up she’s heard is that schools are afraid they’ll be stigmatized as a “bad school” that has a drug problem or as a school that condones bad choices. “School districts are very careful regarding their image,” said Yunuen Cisneros, community outreach and inclusion manager at the Public Education & Business Coalition, which serves most of the state’s school districts. “Many of them don’t want to accept this program, because to ac-

cept it is to accept a drug addiction problem.” That’s the wrong way to think about it, King said. “We really equate it to our stock albuterol for asthma attacks, our stock epinephrine for anaphylactic reactions,” she said. Colorado health officials could not say how often naloxone had been used on school grounds in the state. So far this year, at least 15 children ages 10 to 18 have died of fentanyl overdoses but not necessarily in schools. And in 2022, 34 children in that age group died, according to the state Department of Public Health and Environment. That included 13-year-old José Hernández, who died in August 2022 from a fentanyl overdose at home just days after starting eighth grade at Aurora Hills Middle School. His grandmother found his body over the bathroom sink in the early morning.

With the arrival of this new school year, supplies of naloxone are on hand for kids in more Colorado schools. Last year, state lawmakers appropriated $19.7 million in federal aid to the Naloxone Bulk Purchase Fund, which is accessible to school districts, jails, first responders, and community service organizations, among others. “It’s the most we’ve ever had,” said Andrés Guerrero, manager of the state health department’s overdose prevention program. According to data provided by Colorado’s health department, 65 school districts were enrolled in the state program to receive naloxone at low or no cost at the start of the school year. Another 16 had reached out to the state for information but hadn’t finalized orders as of mid-August. The remaining 97 school districts either didn’t stock naloxone at their schools or sourced it from elsewhere.

Westminster superintendent search shouldn’t be rushed

o, what is the big hurry at Westminster Public Schools? Superintendent of Schools Pam Swanson announces her retirement quite CROSS recently and then the School Board CURRENTS delegates their responsibility to Swanson to determine who might be qualified for her position within the school district personnel. Now the school district announces Bill Christopher that Deputy Superintendent Jennifer Gotto is a “finalist candidate” for the Superintendent’s position. Swanson isn’t leaving until the end of the current school year so why did Gotto get named so quickly? There are eight-plus months before Swanson cashes in and says her goodbyes. Where was the announcement that a national search firm would be hired to recruit and evaluate candidates who applied for the position? Furthermore, where was the Board decision to do a national search to secure the very best person for this important position? Oh, and let’s not forget where was the opportunity for the public to do be involved in the process and participate in a “meet and greet” with the final candidates (yes, that is plural). I will tell you why the actions outlined in my three questions did not happen is because the current full School Board and Superintendent of Schools quietly behind closed doors decided that Jennifer Gotto would make a fine Superintendent. No need for a national search using a search firm and no need for punch and cookies for the public to meet the final candidates (yes, that is plural). No muss. No fuss. A slam dunk and Swanson has her protégé in place

Why does the school board have to name a new superintendent now?

Simply put, they do NOT have to select a replacement for Superintendent Swanson now. As I said,

the School Board has more than eight months to do a thorough, well thought out process using a national search process to assure the best possible person is selected. Plus, the NEW School Board should make the decision on the NEW superintendent; not the current cronies. I have nothing against Jenni Gotto. In fact, I am impressed with her. A friend of mine and I recently met her and had a wide-reaching conversation which demonstrated her depth, knowledge and pleasing personality. Would I say that I was so impressed to automatically name her as the next school superintendent? Not hardly. I would encourage her to apply and compete with all the other candidates who might be interested in this well-paying job. So, again, what is the rush to complete the ill-conceived process? The answer is quite simple and plain as day. The control of the WPS School Board is up for grabs with two diverse slates of candidates. I have written about them previously. Incumbent Christine Martinez with candidates Mary Beth Murphy and Audrey Yanos have stated they favor a “status quo” approach with keeping the “momentum” going. They like keeping school gymnasiums and sports fields for the school district to use in their athletic programs. They are labeled as “MMY.” The opposing slate of candidates consists of Brenda Gallegos, Charles Gallegos and Anthony Sisneros known as the ABC slate. They stand for change in a positive way. They campaign for transparency, accountability, more interaction with parents of the students and increased cooperation with Hyland Hills Park and Recreation District. The latter would have the school district allowing Hyland Hills to once again use their school gymnasiums and sports fields. Perhaps at one time (a week or so ago), Swanson’s and the Board’s strategy was to process Ms. Gotto later in the school year as the sole “finalist candidate.” However, the ABC slate turns out to be a serious contender that could insert a new direction and so they had to rush the process of naming Gotto as the sole “finalist candidate”

now and get her appointed the next superintendent BEFORE the Nov. 7 election. Ahhhhh, you now see the strategy they hatched. What a sad state of affairs at WPS

My, how things have changed over the years. Having lived here in Westminster for 55 years and having our daughters go through Adams 50 School District from kindergarten to graduating from Westminster High School as honor graduates, I have observed so much change and it has not been for the better. There used to be much higher academic achievement from graduating classes. Cooperation among the school district, City of Westminster and Hyland Hills District at one time was the norm and not the exception. Tax dollars were saved. At one time, having a diversely educated school board with different backgrounds was seen as a positive, creative force as compared to touting having all five board members being Westminster High School graduates. In the past, transparency was evident. Now, very little of district mailed material mentions the low academics which have existed for more than seven years. And what about financial matters including approving contracts with a current school board member. It’s a shame district leadership lost its way with the students being the casualties. Was it designed as a campaign brochure or not?

All you Westminster Public School District taxpayers, did you receive the quite recent fluff piece sent out by the school administration? What prompted the piece with such positive terms as “innovative, “valued”, “unique”, “caring” and “fun”? It didn’t have hardly any hard facts or figures to back up the “feel good” piece. Why go to the expense to produce and send such a communication about five weeks before the school board election? It’s the same administrative team who contributed personal funds to help incumbent Christine Martinez and fellow running mates Mary Beth

Murphy and Audrey Yanos get elected. It involves the same slate of candidates who have accepted $10,000 in state teachers’ association campaign funds. Where are the cold facts about the school district’s lack of meaningful academic progress? The reason is they do not exist. For at least the past seven years, the district has been in the lower part of statewide academic rankings. At the same time, the “fluff piece” boasted about having the highest starting salary for teachers in the state. Do you see a disconnect here? The Westminster Public Schools Board of Education needs a change in direction and its integrity and then change the “corporate culture” of the administrative staff. Colorado housing crisis reflected in calls for assistance

Brothers Redevelopment, Inc., a non-profit housing organization operates the Colorado Housing Connects (CHH) which is a vital “connection” for people and families in need of housing assistance, preventive-eviction information, housing counseling, address tenant-landlord concerns and secure affordable housing options. In August alone, the team of navigators at CHH handled over 8,000 inquiries. This is an all-time high volume for the organization and is indicative of the magnitude of the statewide problem. As stated by Jeff Martinez, Brothers Redevelopment, Inc. President/CEO, “The scale of this challenge is immense, and we recognize that we cannot do it alone. That’s why we’re also requesting help from and consulting with our public and elected officials across the state. We need your help in maintaining capacity for Colorado Housing Connects, so that we may ensure that the resource will be available to everyone who needs it, wherever they live in the state.” Colorado is especially hard hit in coping with people’s housing needs given the above-national housing costs and above-national inflation rate.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Council forum astounds

I attended the Sept. 30 Westminster City Council candidate forum. Many of the comments were reported in the Oct. 12 Westminster Window. The live stream is also on YouTube. I was astounded at some of the comments made. What shocked me most were the callous and uninformed statements about the homeless in our city. No one wants a homeless encampment in their neighborhood, but thinking the only solution is to “drive them out” is heartless and uninformed. The statement that 90% of the homeless choose to be is both insulting to those who have experienced homelessness and just plain wrong. Westminster is working to solve the causes of homelessness with a multi faceted approach. The process is slow and is not perfect, but has a chance of long term benefit. The 2nd statement that shocked me was “There have been plenty of candidates in Westminster who moved into our city, we don’t know who they are. They spend a ton of money, get elected and move on to a higher office. This stuff has got to quit. It’s not representing you”. I gather this was an attack on Councillor Obi Ezeadi. Perhaps this candidate wished the city had closed the door to Westminster right after they got here. The third topic is an old one. At times Standley Lake appears to have a lot of water in it, but there is a water shortage all over our state/country/world. It will get worse. Usage must be reduced. One idea to reduce usage is the basic economic principle is when the price goes up, demand goes down. Secondly, with the tiered system, if you use less, you pay less. Thirdly, Westminster has

several water savings programs. Yes it is painful when costs go up, when things change, but usually when it is explained, most people can understand the necessity. We cannot cling to the past. That world does not exist anymore. Thinking only of yourself and being shortsighted will damage you in the future as well as damage our city and future generations. I want council people who work to provide quality of life now and who use the best information available to plan for the future so that we will have quality of life for decades to come. I moved to Westy in 1981. I’m voting for Hott, Pegg and Carmelia. Jill Lewis, Westminster Jacque Phillips responds

Thornton Councilmember Kathy Henson made a motion at a recent Council meeting to allow voters to decide who fills council vacancies instead of allowing the Mayor and councilmembers to decide for them. As usual, the Mayor and her herd voted against it (6-3). I was voted off Thornton City Council in February 2022, by Mayor Kulmann, Mayor Pro Tem Sandgren, Councilmembers Matkowsky, Acunto, and Unrein. The correct process to remove a councilmember is a recall by the voters. Ward One had no interest in pursuing my recall. Voter participation was unwanted by the Mayor and her herd, resulting in the disenfranchisement of voters. The unwillingness of the Mayor and her herd to allow the voice of voters is typical of the abuse of power we have seen for the last four years since Kulmann was elected Mayor.

State seeks successor for criminal justice commission tim advocate, a victim of a crime, a Polis forms panel to former offender, a law-enforcement a criminal defense recommend a replacement representative, expert, the attorney general, the executive director of the Department for policy advisory group of Public Safety and others. Gov. Jared Polis issued an executive order forming a task force charged with recommending a replacement for a panel that helped guide the Colorado legislature on criminal justice policy for more than a decade before it was shut down this year by Democratic state lawmakers who said it wasn’t operating as intended. The governor’s task force is also charged with filling the policy-recommendation void left when the Colorado Commission on Criminal and Juvenile Justice stopped operating earlier this year and until a replacement is created. “We want the work to continue,” Polis said in an interview with The Colorado Sun. The CCJJ, formed by the General Assembly in 2007 and the brainchild of then-Gov. Bill Ritter, was intended to help remove partisanship from the process of drafting criminal justice reform policy. The 30-member panel was made up of legislators, prosecutors, representatives of the court and community members. But progressive Democrats in the General Assembly this year began to have doubts about the commission and shut it down in a surprise vote in the final days of the 2023 legislative session when it came up for reauthorization in the House Judiciary Committee. “I think we spent the last 20 years coming back and fixing policy that CCJJ has recommended,” state Rep. Lorena Garcia, an Adams County Democrat and a member of the House Judiciary Committee, told The Colorado Sun in May. Polis and moderate Democrats were furious at the decision, with the governor quickly vowing to pursue a replacement. The working group formed by Polis’ executive order will have 17 members, including a county human services representative, a vic-

The task force, whose makeup is similar to the CCJJ, though it has less influence from the courts, is charged with presenting its recommendations on a CCJJ replacement or replacements by March 1. Polis said he hopes the legislature, which reconvenes in January and operates for 120 days, will pass a bill acting on the panel’s advice. One advantage of a criminal justice policy commission created by the legislature is that it can be better staffed than a panel created through an executive order, Polis said. “We’ll do our best to make it work,” Polis said. The governor said his executive order doesn’t have an end date, meaning the working group can remain in place indefinitely. It’s his plan, however, to end the task force should and once the legislature creates a CCJJ replacement. “If there’s a formal group in statute, the executive order would likely be rescinded at that point,” Polis said The ACLU of Colorado, one of the groups that urged the legislature not to reauthorize the CCJJ, said that it was disappointed with the makeup of the governor’s task force. “We agree the sunsetting of the CCJJ should be an opportunity to ‘reimagine criminal justice policy and reform work in Colorado’ but that reimagining will be much harder to achieve when it’s the same cooks in the same kitchen as the CCJJ,” said Taylor Pendergrass, the group’s director of advocacy. “It is precisely because some criminal justice issues can be complex that a rigid, one-size-fits-all permanent committee is likely not the best way to do criminal justice policy making. It didn’t work well in the last few years in the CCJJ, it’s not an approach you see much of in other states, and it’s not something we embrace with other complex policymaking in Colorado — whether that is housing, water or education.”

NO PLACE LIKE HOME Local high school graduates find unique brotherhood on Mines football team

BY CORINNE WESTEMAN CWESTEMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

ack Walters wasn’t planning to play college football. Now, he plays for the

reigning NCAA Division II National Runner-Up, practically down the street from where he grew up. A three-sport athlete for Golden High School, Walters hoped one of the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference universities would recruit him during his senior year. Once Colorado School of Mines reached out and offered him a scholarship, he knew that’s where he belonged. “Growing up in Golden, Mines is just in our backyard,” Walters said. “ … I knew I wasn’t going to pass up on it. It’s a great

academic school, and (has) some of the best football in the country.” Walters is one of about 30 players from the Denver metro area on the Mines football team, helping spur the Orediggers toward their firstever national title. Because many of them played against each other in high school, the local Orediggers have a unique bond, Walters and Pomona High School graduate Billy Pospisil III described. The players sometimes dish out good-hearted “smack talk,” they said,

and share stories about opponents or coaches they had in common. Walters explained how those similar experiences can make things easier when meeting new players on recruiting visits or at camps. That’s something Valor Christian High School graduates Jackson Zimmerman and Carter Forsythe can attest to. The two played together at VCHS, and when Forsythe visited the Mines campus, Zimmerman — who was a freshman cornerback for the Orediggers — showed him around. Forsythe, now a redshirt freshman linebacker, said seeing Zimmerman find success at Mines was one of the reasons he decided to join too. Another was the program’s culture, and how similar it was to Valor Christian’s, he continued, adding how there are now six VCHS alumni among the Orediggers. “Mines’ culture is already so fantastic,” Forsythe said, “… (and) Jackson made it an easy decision.” SEE BROTHERHOOD, P17

DO YOU KNOW THESE LOCAL OREDIGGERS? The Colorado School of Mines football team features 50 players from Colorado, about half of whom graduated from Denver-area high schools. They include, but aren’t limited to: • Billy Pospisil III (Arvada/Pomona High School) • Sean McNair (Highlands Ranch/Valor Christian High School) • Nick Stone (Highlands Ranch/Mountain Vista High School) • Jalen Thomas (Englewood/ Arapahoe High School) • Mikee Barker (Parker/Ponderosa High School) • Jackson Zimmermann (Highlands Ranch/Valor Christian High School) • Carter Forsythe (Littleton/ Valor Christian High School) • Will Adams (Littleton/Columbine High School) • Christian Benedetto (Parker/ Valor Christian High School) • Levi Johnson (Arvada/ Ralston Valley High School) • Jack Walters (Golden/ Golden High School) • Preston Rose (Highlands Ranch/Valor Christian High School) • Peyton Rose (Highlands Ranch/Valor Christian High School) • James Hess (Littleton/Dakota Ridge High School) • Blake Doud (Parker/Legend High School) • Clayton Jacobs (Parker/Lutheran High School) • Mitchell Morehead (Arvada/ Ralston Valley High School) • Brock Zanetell (Evergreen/ Columbine High School)

BROTHERHOOD FROM PAGE 16

Another benefit of playing so close to home, they described, was how frequently they get to see their loved ones at the games. They said their family members, former teammates and coaches, family friends and others from the Valor Christian community show up to support them at the games. Pospisil, who played wide receiver at Washington State University and grad-transferred to Mines in fall 2022, commented how grateful he was to be back home. He believed attending a local college was “underrated,” and that some high school students might overlook it as an option. “But, coming back after being away, there’s really not much that beats it,” Pospisil continued. “ … It’s been a great ride ever since.” Where nerds win

Despite attending different high schools, the four players said their experiences helped prepare them for everything they’d face at Mines. Walters said Golden’s football team struggled his freshman and sophomore years, but a new head coach and a change in culture propelled the program to new heights. “It taught us what it was like to be in a winning program,” he continued. That was something Zimmerman found very early at Valor Christian. The redshirt sophomore cornerback said he wasn’t planning to play high school football, clarifying that he went to Valor Christian for its academics. But he ended up “falling in love” with the game and the program’s culture. Despite having six head coaches since starting high school, he said he’s been drawn to programs “where, no matter who the coach is … you’re going to have a great brotherhood around you.” Zimmerman and Forsythe described how Valor Christian and Mines have similar cultures centered on brotherhood and trust. And for both programs, that’s translated into winning records, Forsythe added. “Winning isn’t everything,” he continued. “But it’s definitely a byproduct of the hard work we put in here (at Mines) and the chemistry we have.” #HelluvaEngineer

The Orediggers aren’t just facing tough situations on the field, but in the classroom as well. The players must learn to balance athletics with their classes in engineering, computer science and similar subjects. Pospisil, who’s pursuing a master’s degree in environmental engineering science, said the Orediggers face a “truly unique situation” as far as college football goes. “School is tough, but it’s going to be tough when you’re doing any one of these majors,” Pospisil continued. “But when you’re done,

you’re set up for life. I think in the receiver’s room, the average starting salary in the last five years is close to $100,000 now.” While Pospisil was unsure if he’d return to Mines next year, Walters plans to use his final year of eligibility in fall 2024 and pursue a master’s degree in engineering & technology management. Walters is currently studying mechanical engineering, which he said he didn’t know much about when he first started at Mines. But he’s enjoyed becoming a proverbial jack-of-all-trades, studying everything from construction to technology consulting. “It’s really hard, but I like it,” he said. “ … If I was telling my high school self if I should come to Mines, I’d say do it 100%.” ‘The perfect fit’

While there’s been plenty of adversity to overcome both on and off the field, Walters had no regrets about coming to Mines. He said the university and the football program have taught him “how to grow up.” “You don’t really know how hard school and football can be,” he said, adding that because of that adversity he’s now forged bonds with his fellow Orediggers that’ll likely endure all their lives. Those planning to attend college shouldn’t be afraid to stay local, Walters said. While he always wanted to go to an out-of-state college, he described how Mines “is such a special place you can’t get anywhere else in the country.” Pospisil felt the university deserved more national recognition for its academic prowess.

When he graduated from Washington State with an engineering-related degree, he knew Mines would be the “perfect fit.” “‘Where can I go play some great football and get a great education?’” he continued. “There’s really no better place super close to home.” Zimmerman and Forsythe both said they were grateful to be able to represent Valor Christian and the Highlands Ranch-Littleton area on the college football stage. The two hoped their families, hometown communities and the Denver area would continue to support them as the Orediggers hope to end 2023 holding a trophy. “It’s really cool to just see the support,” Zimmerman said, “and see everyone come together in Golden.”

Explore the Mysteries of the Ice Ages at DMNS

Interview edited for brevity and clarity.

here’s just something so fascinating about the Ice Age – it’s a world so foreign and so familiar at the same time. Visitors to COMING the Denver MuATTRACTIONS seum of Nature & Science, 2001 ColScience orado Blvd., can explore that far off time with the new exhibit, Mysteries of the Ice Ages Ages, which opens on Friday, Oct. 20. “This area of study is special in Clarke Reader how multi-generational it can become. Young kids explore learning about megafauna animals, while adults learn about the glaciation that forms the ice ages,” wrote Emily Doherty, educator for Mysteries of the Ice Ages, in an email interview. “This exhibit has something for everyone in that it has many amazing specimens that are engaging to look at and deeper content explanations for those that want to learn something new about how we interact with ice on our planet.” We interviewed Doherty about the exhibit, the museum’s connection to the discoveries on display and what visitors will come away with.

Tell me about the genesis of Mysteries of the Ice Ages?

This exhibit is coming to us from the Canadian Museum of Nature. They created this exhibit for their own museum and it has now become a travelling exhibition. We are the first place that it is travelling to. What personal touches has the DMNS added to help connect with local audiences?

We have two facilitated carts where guests can interact with a volunteer and explore Neanderthal traits, as well as Ice Age Animal Adaptations. We also have added many Colorado-specific enhancements, focusing on topics of seasonal fat, winter recreation, local legends of the Folsom site, white-tailed jackrabbits, Colorado wildfires, mountain glaciers, and, of course, our Snowmass Discovery of Ice Age specimens in 2010. This is of such importance because it’s one of the largest discoveries and projects the museum has led. I also believe guests will enjoy making a personal connection to the exhibit by exploring how they

interact with ice in so many different ways in their own lives. What do you hope people come away from the exhibit with? I hope people will come away from this exhibit with a deeper understanding and excitement around how we as humans interact with our environment, specifically with ice and cold environments. Tickets and information can be found at www.dmns.org/visit/exhibitions/mysteries-of-the-ice-ages/. Spend a creepy evening the Victorian Death Experiences

Getting one’s mind wrapped around the idea of death has never been an easy proposition, and the people of the Victorian Era spent a great deal of time and energy exploring the great beyond. Now the Center for Colorado Women’s History, 1310 Bannock St. in Denver, is taking visitors back to the era with its new Victorian Death Experiences, which runs through Friday, Nov. 3. According to provided information, this adult-event features a tour of the Victorian home, which will be decorated for mourning. It will allow visitors to peruse “grisly artifacts, hair-raising rooms and stories of death’s presence in Denver.” Attendees will get historical

context and learn about how the people of the era viewed death and what happens next. Get information and tickets at www.historycolorado.org/victorian-death-experiences. Phoebe Robinson gets brilliantly messy in Boulder

School absenteeism high, with 31% of students missing too much BY ERICA MELTZER CHALKBEAT COLORADO

Nearly a third of Colorado students were chronically absent last year, missing 10% or more of the days they were supposed to be in school, according to new state data. That’s slightly better than the 2021-22 school year — when COVID’s omicron variant ripped through schools —but far worse than any year before the pandemic. Colorado education leaders are sounding the alarm about the missed days, as student academic performance still hasn’t recovered to pre-pandemic levels. “Every day a student is in school is an opportunity for them to learn, build relationships and access support,” Colorado Education Commissioner Susana Córdova said in a press release. “We know districts are working hard to ensure

just thoughtful tunes that rock and shimmer at the same time.

students attend school regularly. But we need everyone, including educators, parents, students and community members, to make a renewed effort on this important matter.” “The surest way to make improvements in our recovery from the disruptions of the pandemic is for kids to be in school,” Córdova added. Colorado’s chronic absenteeism rate was 31% last year, representing 269,582 students in kindergarten through 12th grade. Before COVID, rates ranged from 18% to 24%. Colorado is not alone, with most states reporting more students missing school. Some groups had a greater share of students who were chronically absent. Kindergartners and 10th, 11th, and 12th graders all had chronic absenteeism rates above 35%. Roughly 40% of English learners missed too many days of school, as did 43% of low-income

students and 60% of homeless students. And the majority of absences — 62% — were excused. Snapshots of chronic absentee rates by several districts across the metro area: Adams 12 Five Star Schools: 33.6% Westminster Public Schools: 37.9% Englewood 1: 42.7% Littleton 6: 19.3% Adams-Arapahoe 28J: 43.3% Clear Creek RE1: 36.5% Centennial R1: 45% Jefferson County R-1: 28.3% Douglas County Re1: 19.4% Elizabeth School District: 23.4%. Johann Liljengren, director of the dropout prevention and student re-engagement office in the Colorado Department of Education, said schools report a wide range of reasons students aren’t showing up to school. Expectations around health and wellness are different in the wake of COVID, and there’s more concern about not spreading illness to others. State educa-

tion officials point to “how sick is too sick” guidance for when kids should stay home. Some students report that they feel anxious or that they don’t feel safe at school. Others are disengaged or bored, and much of their schoolwork is now available online, even if instruction is supposed to happen in person. School-based attendance workers and others who work with youth missing school describe teenagers sleeping in after working overnight shifts and elementary students who don’t make it to school because a parent is depressed or overwhelmed. A few absences a month that don’t feel like much to a parent can add up over time. And missing school can be a warning sign for future problems. Students who are chronically absent in middle school are more likely to drop out of high school, he said.

Their latest album, “The Window,” isn’t just the group’s best release to date, but easily one of the year’s best. Working with Chris Walla (formerly of Death Cab for Cutie), the group has found a new groove that fits like a glove. It’s got elements of their fore-

bearers like Wilco, but everything feels thrillingly alive and lived in. In support of the album, Ratboys will be performing at the Globe Hall, 4483 Logan St. in Denver, at 8 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 21. They’ll be joined by indie upstarts Another Mi-

chael. Get tickets at www.globehall. com. Clarke Reader’s column on culture appears on a weekly basis. He can be reached at Clarke.Reader@ hotmail.com.

LETTERS FROM PAGE 13

I live and work in Thornton. My primary employer is my law office. I work multiple other contracts outside of Thornton. In July 2021, I accepted a contract to work in Alamosa four days a week. The short-term contract was due to end a few months after I was removed, as all Councilmembers were aware. After accepting the contract, I bought a house in Alamosa, at 3% interest, because it was cheaper than renting. I commuted back and forth between Thornton and Alamosa. Sometimes I flew and sometimes I drove. I missed 1 council meeting and had no complaints. After I was voted off Council by the Bully Block I accepted another shortterm contract for four days a week in Alamosa. I resigned in February 2023. I sold the house in April. It was under contract and rented until it closed recently. One current Councilmember regularly missed half of planning/council meetings. Another current Councilmember missed three full months of meetings. Again, I missed one council meeting. Ten people from Ward One interviewed for my seat and I would have supported any of them. They were all active, involved community members. There was one candidate that nobody knew. The candidate that the Mayor and her herd voted in, Eric Garcia. Not the person Ward One voted for and not even the person Ward One wanted. This conduct does not embrace democracy. Ward One wants their vote back. Our only chance is electing Justin Martinez for Ward One. Dr. Jacque Phillips, Esq., Thornton Favor Westminster school advocates

I have lived inside the boundaries of Westminster Public School (former ti-

tle School District 50) for over 50 years, trusted the education of my children to Westminster Public Schools. I am a retired elementary teacher from WPS. Anthony, Brenda, and Charles will be excellent Westminster Public Schools board members. Anthony, Brenda, and Charles are focused on improving accountable academics to reach current state averages. They have children in three different Westminster Public Schools. They are advocates of parent/school partnerships to improve academic success. They will expect financial transparency and full disclosures to the taxpayer of how taxpayers’ money is being spent. A student-based budget is an important element for academic success. Anthony, Brenda, and Charles will reestablish the partnership with Hyland Hills Parks and Recreation. Decades of recreation/education collaboration was recently severed by Westminster Public Schools. All children in the WPS boundaries are entitled to all available recreation opportunities. Anthony and Charles are graduates of Westminster High School and hold advanced degrees in finance and medicine. I am endorsing Anthony, Brenda, and Charles (ABC) for Westminster Public Schools Board of Education. Karen Dunn, Denver

again, they raised the issues of water supply, open space, land dedication, traffic issues, problems with metro tax districts, floodplain considerations and impact on the surrounding neighborhood - just to name a few. So let’s not reduce the value that these “stars” have brought to the debate. Also, I question the fact that local authorities attended the groundbreaking while other parcels of the Uplands development are still pending approval. The power of public perception is a very real thing. Lucy Sieber, Westminster Math questions are not sexist

Six candidates running for the three open seats on the Westminster Public Schools Board of Education participated in a candidate forum October 4 at the Grange. A question was asked about how the candidates felt about a husband and wife running on one of the two slates,

Charles and Brenda Gallegos. The assumption was that they would vote similarly on most issues. The Gallegos would represent 40% of the votes on the five-person Board. When responding, Brenda Gallegos called the question sexist. What? Sexism remains today a very serious problem that can have devastating impacts on women. Research shows that young women who experience sexism are five times more likely to suffer from clinical depression. See it. Name it. Stop it. But do not use the word to manipulate the audience’s emotions when answering a math question. I will be voting for the MMY slate—Martinez, Murphy, and Yanos. Their answers during the forum demonstrated how well they listen and care, essential qualities in Board members who will be making significant policy decisions that impact our wonderful students and terrific teachers. Marilee Menard, Westminster

Upland foes the real heroes

I read the article on the Uplands groundbreaking and cannot believe the hyperbole. Specifically, I am referring to the headline “star studded guest list and protesters.” At first, I thought I must’ve missed Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift. Then I realized you were referring to local politicos and the governor, who must’ve been their +1. In my opinion, the true stars of the day were the Save The Farm organization. For the past 3+ years, the STF volunteers informed both the public and the city powers of the downside of this mega development. Time and time

How Colorado training programs aim to cut mental health care stigma among farmers and ranchers BY JENNY MCCOY SPECIAL TO THE COLORADO SUN

Every Monday and Wednesday morning, at a sand-colored storefront along Swink Avenue in Rocky Ford, coffee is brewed, donuts are laid out, and members of the agriculture-based community are invited inside the double-wide doors. The interior looks like an oversized living room: There are rocking chairs, plants, framed landscape photos, a big-screen TV, and a hightop table surrounded by stools. Welcome to the Coffee Break Project — a nontraditional support model aimed at combating the mental health crisis in Colorado’s agriculture communities. “It doesn’t look clinical,” said Joseph Carrica, vice president and chief health care innovation and strategy officer at Valley-Wide Health, the nonprofit health care entity behind the project. And that’s by design. In an industry and community where discussing mental health issues remains largely stigmatized (as does seeking related care), the Coffee Break Project offers an alternative method for bolstering emotional well-being by simply providing farmers, ranchers and agricultural workers a safe space to support each other. The motto of the Coffee Break Project, which is plastered on the door, sums it up: “Do you look after your neighbors as close as your crop or herd?” “It’s become a socially acceptable place to hang out and not feel like you’re being judged,” said Carrica. “Because I think people know it’s not a location where counselors

are—it’s where conversation is.” The project, started about four years ago in response to four suicides among men with ties to Kiowa County and its agriculture community, is one of a growing number of initiatives aimed at supporting a population of Coloradans especially prone to mental health challenges, but also unlikely to seek help for their struggles, due to lingering taboo. More than 195,000 people work in Colorado agriculture across 38,900 farms and ranches; the industry supplies $47 billion to the state’s economy annually, according to the Colorado Department of Agriculture. Working in agriculture is increasingly stressful. According to an American Farm Bureau Federation survey conducted in December 2021, 60% of people working on farms are experiencing more stress and mental health challenges compared to a year ago. The Farm Bureau survey revealed stressors impacting this population’s mental health include financial struggles, the state of the farm economy, and weather or other factors beyond a person’s control. “The bulk of people working in agriculture are really just having a hard time,” said Clinton Wilson, program director of AgWell, an initiative by Rocky Mountain Farmers Union (formerly known as the Rural Peer Assistance Network and funded in part by The Colorado Trust) that supports farmers, ranchers and agriculture workers in Colorado, Wyoming and New Mexico. “It is a crisis.” Jacob Walter, who grew up on

his family’s third-generation cattle ranch in Thatcher, Colo., an unincorporated community between Trinidad and La Junta, has been impacted firsthand by the crisis. In 2016, when Walter was in college, his dad, Rusty, died by suicide. “One of the last conversations we had was he told me, ‘It’s never so bad that you can’t get help,’” recalled Walter. In Walter’s high school class of 31, two other students lost a parent to suicide. A number of factors contribute to mental health challenges among agriculture workers. For one, “There’s not very many industries, and not very many occupations you can do in life, where pretty much everything is basically out of your control,” said Walter. After coping with many years of drought, Colorado farmers and ranchers faced new challenges this past summer thanks to an onslaught of rain and crop-destroying hail storms. Family-owned farms are also up against increased competition from larger, conglomerateowned farms that are able to produce goods cheaper and faster, said Wilson. Moreover, production costs — including the price of items like fertilizer, crop protection tools and livestock — have recently skyrocketed, jumping 28% since 2020. Then there’s the perennial fact that for many farmers and ranchers, work-life boundaries are blurred. “You can’t just step away when you have sick animals, or when you have crops in the field that need tending to,” said Walter. “You’re always on call.” Additionally, when a farm or ranch has been in the family for

generations, there can be pressure to continue the legacy, Walter added. On top of that, the nature of the job can be incredibly isolating. “When you’re working out there, you might not see anybody else all day,” said Walter. “That isolation can really add to the stresses of mental health.” In 2021, a reported 1,370 Coloradans died by suicide, including 23 in the agriculture, forestry, fishing and hunting industries, according to data from the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment. That’s the highest annual number for these industries in the state’s database, which dates back to 2004. Nationwide, the rate of deaths by suicide in rural communities increased 48% from 2000 to 2018, compared to a 34% jump for urban communities, per the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. In 2018, both the male and female suicide rates were notably higher per capita in rural areas than in urban ones. But statistics around mental health tell just a fraction of the story. “It’s kind of like the iceberg metaphor,” Wilson said. “The top part of the iceberg is like one-tenth of really what’s going on down below it.” In conversations several years ago with farmers and ranchers, Rebecca Edlund, director of operations and membership at the Colorado Farm Bureau, consistently heard that mental health was a pressing issue; that there was a tremendous need for resources; and that behavioral health was cost prohibitive for SEE STIGMA, P23

many. According to a 2022 report by the Colorado Rural Health Center, a nonprofit that serves as the state office of rural health, the 25 Colorado counties with the highest rate of uninsured adults are all classified as rural or frontier. Edlund also learned of specific things that would be needed for an agriculture-focused mental health program to be effective, including anonymity and culturally competent care. With that insight, she and her colleagues developed the Colorado Agricultural Addiction and Mental Health Program (CAAMHP), which aims to make mental health care more accessible by providing Colorado residents six free counseling sessions with a licensed behavioral health professional. (The Colorado Trust funds CAAMHP.) The program is built on anonymity; folks need to provide their county of residence to ensure they are Colorado residents, as well as an email address where they can receive the vouchers, “but that data is maintained separately, and we don’t use that for any purpose other than voucher verification,” said Edlund. All participating behavioral health professionals have completed what Edlund calls “cultural humility training” so they have some understanding of farming and ranching life. To date, more than 30 clinicians have completed the training, and 10 to 15 therapists currently work with CAAMHP. Additionally, over 200 medical professionals — including physicians, nurses, EMTs and hospital administrators— and several pastors have completed a shorter version of the training. Edlund points to a 2019 edition of the AFBF survey that revealed that 78% of farmers and farm workers feel very or somewhat comfortable talking to their primary care physician about mental health issues — but even more (81%) said they’d feel similarly confiding in close friends. For therapists or counselors, the figure was 72%, and 64% for family members. In its first two years, CAAMHP distributed 186 vouchers for counseling sessions. “I had a member [recently] come up to me and thank me for the work of CAAMHP

because in the last two months, he has had three friends die by suicide,” said Edlund. Walter used the CAAMHP program to access six therapy sessions. “It was just life changing,” he said of the experience, as it allowed him to work through some of the challenges of losing his dad to suicide. According to Chad Reznicek, a licensed professional counselor and lead behavioral health specialist with the Colorado AgrAbility Project, 21 states, including Colorado, offer free mental health services for folks in the agriculture industry— up from just 10 states two years ago. The Colorado AgrAbility Project is funded, in part, by a grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, and provides various types of supportive services to farmers and ranchers. As a former therapist with a master’s degree in counseling, Wilson believes there is “tremendous value” in folks getting therapy for their mental health struggles. But he also knows that in many cases, if people are provided with opportunities to forge meaningful connections, that may be all they need to bolster their emotional well-being. Plus, due to entrenched stigma, many may still be resistant to the notion of therapy. “A lot of farmers and ranchers that I know are not going to go to a therapist, even if it was like, the greatest farmer-rancher-turnedtherapist in the world,” said Wilson. “There’s no way that they’re at a place yet where they would say, ‘I have this struggle, this is hard, and I need to go talk to a therapist.’” Per the Farm Bureau survey, 63% of people who work on farms say there is at least some stigma around stress and mental health in the agriculture community, though there are signs that is slowly shifting. Nearly half of farm workers are more comfortable talking to their doctor (44%), close friends (44%) and family members (48%) about their mental health compared to a year prior, the survey found. In addition to the Coffee Break Project, Valley-Wide hosts regular meetings for a group that discusses soil health topics alongside mental health, as well as advisory committee meetings for veterans and folks in agriculture. They also train locals in a methodology called Changing Our Mental and Emotional Trajectory, or COMET. Developed by High Plains Research Network, COMET

teaches everyday people how to intervene when they notice someone in a vulnerable mental state. The program is about “early detection, intervention, and changing a person’s trajectory back to wellness,” said Carrica. To date, ValleyWide has trained nearly 200 people in the COMET method, said Jennifer Pollmiller, director of marketing and communications at ValleyWide. A big aspect of COMET training is simply knowing how to be a sympathetic listener and validate whatever someone’s struggling with, said Hanna Bates, agriculture outreach coordinator for the Coffee Break Project. “Ninety percent of the time, that’s all somebody wants,” she explained. Informal support systems cre-

ated by programs like COMET are important given the nationwide shortage of mental health professionals. In Colorado specifically, more than 2.8 million residents live in areas where there is a shortage of mental health care providers, according to Kaiser Family Foundation data. Finding qualified providers “has been very difficult,” said Carrica. Given the shortage, “I don’t think we have the ability to refer everybody to therapy unless they’re in more of an acute state,” he said. “We need to find additional options for people to connect and work on these stressors and try to divert them from a more clinical setting.” Resources like COMET and the Coffee Break Project aim to fill that gap.

Editors note: Ward 1 Candidate Megan Burns, Ward 2 Candidates Laura Garcia Pasco and Spencer Yale, and Ward 4 Candidates Jody Roper and Andrew Dollard Thompson did not respond to Colorado Community Media’s request for information. Mark Bromley

Candidate for Northglenn Mayor Contact:voteBromley@gmail.com What motivated you to seek a seat on the City Council? It’s because of a history of harassment, intimidation, and harm aimed at me by the city of Northglenn for decades since I was 4 years old. Name something that the current City Council has done that you would have done differently, and explain why and how your solution is better. I think their hateful extreme Democrat-based agenda is dangerously polarized and harmful to the residents of Northglenn for the long term. What makes you the best choice for this City Council seat? As a Mayor I would make an excellent moderator and have the experience and wisdom to serve my community with unparalleled resolution. Do you think Northglenn should allow rezoning for more duplexes, triplexes and quadplexes? NO. Northglenn is a small city. We have limited land remaining. Limited resources. Ignorance on our city council hurt my city of Northglenn. Do you agree with the censure of City Councilors Nicholas Walker and Tim Long after they walked out during the Pride Proclamation? No, I don’t agree. Council members often go missing on proclamations this was grandstanding for election manipulation to target my voters and create division. Meredith Leighty

Candidate for Northglenn Mayor Contact:mar91673@aol.com What motivated you to seek a seat on the City Council?

I’m seeking re-election because I am proud of the work I have done. Instead of complaining about the problems, I want to be part of the solutions. Name something that the current City Council has done that you would have done differently, and explain why and how your solution is better. Our council voted together the majority of the time, however, the best work is done when we do not agree. My favorite moments are when council members disagree, llisten to one another and find the best path forward. What makes you the best choice for this City Council seat? I am a strong leader that is nonpartisan. I work well with a diverse group of opinions, values and beliefs to find common ground and sensible solutions. Do you think Northglenn should allow rezoning for more duplexes, triplexes and quadplexes? Not necessarily. I have concerns about what a population increase would do to our infrastructure, resources and services. Do you agree with the censure of City Councilors Nicholas Walker and Tim Long after they walked out during the Pride Proclamation? Seven out of seven council members voted to censure our colleagues this summer. I was one of them. Tim Long

Jan Kulmann

Candidate for City of Thornton Mayor Contact: JanK4Mayor@gmail. com What motivated you to seek a seat on the City Council? I have truly enjoyed my time as mayor and continue to be inspired by what we’ve accomplished. We face some economic uncertainty but none of these dampen my hope for Thornton and our future. There’s still more I want to do for this city and our residents. Name something that the current City Council has done that you would have done differently, and explain why and how your solution is better. Thornton is one of the only cities in the area that does not have a planning commission. We are in the process of adding this role to our community boards, but I believe we should have done this much sooner. Do you favor City Council campaign reforms, such as contribution limits, more frequent candidate finance reports and bans on special interest, union and corporate donations? This question has already been addressed by the state legislature. While I have yet to hear this is an issue from residents, I believe that disclosure is important, but we have to make it user-friendly for residents to review. Should Thornton build a performing arts center? I’m a student of music with a minor in music performance. I have a passion for the arts. We’ve announced Candlelight Theater will begin construction on a new 900-seat theater in the round right here in Thornton later next year. In your dream scenario, what would the Thornton Shopping Center be turned into? I want something that makes the community proud, that highlights the uniqueness of the original parts of Thornton while encouraging con-

tinued revitalization. I am looking forward to the ideas that the residents have as we partner together to find the best solution for the city. Would you have voted for or against taking Jacque Phillips off council? The charter is clear that you must be a resident of the city to represent it. When a council member moved out of the city for a job or a new home, they resigned. That should have been the case here as well. It’s been over a year and frankly, the community has not asked about this. Should Thornton raise their standards on fracking within city limits? I helped re-write the regulations in the City several years ago to ensure that residents’ needs were addressed first. I will continue to use my skills in this area to ensure that all projects from any industry put our community first.

I decided to seek a seat on the City Council four years ago because I am deeply committed to making Thornton a better place for everyone. I have also been inspired by the strong sense of community in Thornton. I am excited to continue this mission as Mayor. Name something that the current City Council has done that you would have done differently, and explain why and how your solution is better. One area where I would have taken a different approach than the current City Council is in addressing affordable housing. I believe that Thornton needs a more proactive and innovative strategy to tackle this pressing issue, especially for low and middle-income families.

THORNTON FROM PAGE 26

Absolutely, I am a strong advocate for City Council campaign reforms. As your mayor, I will continue to champion transparency, fairness, and ethics in our local politics to uphold the integrity of our democratic processes. Should Thornton build a performing arts center? While considering the possibilities, it’s important to emphasize that a performing arts center should not only serve as a venue for entertainment but also as a creative hub. In your dream scenario, what would the Thornton Shopping Center be turned into? The redevelopment should be an inclusive, resident-led effort that carefully considers the surrounding neighborhoods and prioritizes affordability, community integration, sustainability, and economic vitality while preserving the unique character of Thornton. Would you have voted for or against taking Jacque Phillips off council? I firmly voted against removing City Councilor Jacque Phillips from office. In my view, the decision about her residency should be made by the people she represents, the very residents who elected her to the position. Should Thornton raise their standards on fracking within city limits? Absolutely, Thornton should raise its standards on fracking within city limits. We must prioritize the health, safety, and environmental well-being of our residents and our community’s future. Eric Garcia

Candidate for Thornton City Council Ward 1 Contact: egarc_12@yahoo.com What motivated you to seek a seat on the City Council? My heart, passion and life long dedication to public service. I have been a Ward 1 resident for 16 years and currently serve as the current City Council Member. Name something that the current City Council has done that you would have done differently, and explain why and how your solution is better. Recently our current City Council decided to allow 25% artificial turf in the front yard of residential properties. I would have preferred that our

city allowed 100% artificial turf. Do you favor City Council campaign reforms, such as contribution limits, more frequent candidate finance reports and bans on special interest, union and corporate donations? I undoubtedly believe we should have more frequent reporting so voters can use that information in their decisions come November. We also need a more user-friendly system that is easier to use for voters to search and review but need to account for cost and resources. Should Thornton build a performing arts center? As both a Council Member and a father, I think having a performing arts center would be a bold addition to Thornton’s offerings. In your dream scenario, what would the Thornton Shopping Center be turned into? A vibrant reinvention of Downtown Thornton where people can gather, shop, play, eat and drink! I envision TSC being the heart and soul of Thornton and having a diverse array of shops, boutiques, galleries, community events and sit-down restaurants. Would you have voted for or against taking Jacque Phillips off council? I was not on City Council when this vote was cast, but I did fill the Ward 1 vacancy as a result of that vote. Should Thornton raise their standards on fracking within city limits? We need to continue to aggressively monitor and perform our oversight. If not, we need to work with our state agency partners and others to make sure local operators are upholding their end. Justin Martinez

Candidate for Thornton City Council Ward 1 Contact: justinmartinez14@gmail. com What motivated you to seek a seat on the City Council? South Thornton needs someone to fight for their interests on City Council. For many years the people of South Thornton have been overlooked and their concerns about crime, broken infrastructure, and housing have been ignored. Name something that the current City Council has done that you would have done differently, and explain why and how your solution is better. The current City Council decided to

change the format of official community meetings. The new format does not allow for a dialogue between the community and their leaders. Do you favor City Council campaign reforms, such as contribution limits, more frequent candidate finance reports and bans on special interest, union and corporate donations? The current municipal campaign finance rules work against equity and allow corporations and special interests a louder voice in local politics. It’s absurd to me that corporations are allowed to make direct contributions to Thornton candidates. Should Thornton build a performing arts center? A performing arts center in Ward 1 would be an excellent way for the city to start revitalizing the neighborhood.. In your dream scenario, what would the Thornton Shopping Center be turned into? I think a mixed use development with a combination of light commercial, restaurants or food-hall, and higher density residential would catalyze the surrounding neighborhood. Would you have voted for or against taking Jacque Phillips off council? No. Jacque Phillips is a community leader in Ward 1 who as always been committed to helping her neighbors. I think the City Council should abdicate their power of appointing council members to the people of Thornton. Should Thornton raise their standards on fracking within city limits? Yes. We have zoning standards throughout the city and businesses must adhere to these rules in order to operate. I don’t think the oil and gas industry should continue to get exemptions from these rules. Roberta Ayala

Candidate for Thornton City Council Ward 2 Contact: roberta4thornton@gmail. com What motivated you to seek a seat on the City Council? This city has been my home since childhood, and I desire to give back to the community. My deep roots in Thornton, dedication to educational service and unique skill set make me a candidate who can truly represent our community’s best interests. Name something that the cur-

rent City Council has done that you would have done differently, and explain why and how your solution is better. I’ve seen countless instances where community members united to voice their concerns to the city council, whether through public speeches, letters or petitions. Sadly, the current council majority often appears to disregard these voices, viewing decisions as zero-sum games. Do you favor City Council campaign reforms, such as contribution limits, more frequent candidate finance reports and bans on special interest, union and corporate donations? I favor City Council campaign reforms that include contribution limits, more frequent finance reports and bans on special interest donations. Reforms are crucial to strengthening our democracy. Should Thornton build a performing arts center? I see an urgent need for a new performing arts center in our city. Our current facilities are inadequate and scattered, hindering community access to the arts. To address this, we must pursue a publicly funded performing arts center. In your dream scenario, what would the Thornton Shopping Center be turned into? The Thornton Shopping Center should undergo a transformation that reflects the desires and needs of our community. First and foremost, I envision an inclusive approach to decision-making, where co-governance plays a pivotal role. Would you have voted for or against taking Jacque Phillips off council? I would not have voted to remove Jacques Phillips. She was the duly elected representative of Ward 1, chosen by the people to serve their interests. Her election demonstrated the trust and confidence the community had in her ability to champion their needs effectively. Should Thornton raise their standards on fracking within city limits? Thornton should raise its standards. Our current approach, which relies on informal handshake-type deals with oil and gas companies, is inadequate.By holding fracking operations to higher standards, we send a message that the well-being of our citizens and the protection of our environment are paramount.

Candidates in their own words

I think City Council never looked at alternatives to building a new water plant. City Council trusted the Interim City Manager when he said he was getting a second opinion. He used the same engineers who had been designing the Water 2025 plant since March of 2019. Should the city allow developers to build apartment buildings or not? The just-passed Comprehensive Plan reduced the number of highdensity housing units planned for Westminster. However, a new Council can change those restrictions any time they want. Currently, there are thousands of “entitled” units that can be built. That is a very bad legacy from previous councils that cannot be undone. I do not want anymore more highdensity housing in Westminster. How do you think Westminster should go about addressing homelessness in the city? Currently the City’s “Continuum of Compassion” allows some people to ignore our trespassing laws. Trespassing laws must be a higher priority police task than it currently is. Not only is this practice of ignoring trespassing laws discriminatory and unjust, it hasn’t worked.

years. The spending of tax paper money is out of control. The city has only grown by 5 percent in the last 10 years but the city staff has grown by 22 percent. The water rates are too high because of all the spending. Name something that the current City Council has done that you would have done differently, and explain why and how your solution is better. I would have not approved the new water treatment plant. Semper needs some upgrades to electrical work and could have been upgraded for a fraction of the money of the new water treatment plant, just like Boulder’s plant was upgraded and it is older than ours. What is your opinion about Westminster building a new water treatment facility? The reasons for building the new water treatment plant have changed over the years. We were initially told that additional capacity was needed; but between Semper and the Northwest facility we have more than adequate capacity for the long term. Should the city allow developers to build apartment buildings or not? No they should not. We are 20th in the nation for apartments that have been built, but yet the rent in Westminster is the highest in Colorado, over $2,000 a month on average. Apparently, apartment building has not made housing more affordable. How do you think Westminster should go about addressing homelessness in the city? I am open to input, but I would

like to try what is working in other cities in our metro area. Some have chosen to outlaw tents and blankets on public property and I think on private property trespassing laws should be enforced.

Candidate for Westminster City Council Contact: brucebakercolorado@ msn.com What motivated you to seek a seat on the City Council? I can’t let the people of Westminster be permanently harmed when I can give the voters one more opportunity to save Westminster.

replaced. The Semper Water Treatment Facility is more than 50 years old and needs to be replaced. Should the city allow developers to build apartment buildings or not? I do not believe additional luxury apartments are in the city’s overall best growth interests. Apartment developments should address affordable housing availability. We need to encourage developers in building affordable and attainable housing. How do you think Westminster should go about addressing homelessness in the city? Westminster must coordinate with stakeholders at the local, county, state, and even federal level to successfully address homelessness. We need to listen, be open-minded, look at different solutions, and compromise so we can eradicate this problem. Karen Kalavity

Candidate for Thornton City Council Ward 2 Contact angieforthornton@gmail. com What motivated you to seek a seat on the City Council? I’m running because I am passionate about serving others and being solution-oriented. My focuses include prioritizing our first responders, ensuring we grow sustainably and attract high-paying jobs to the city. Name something that the current City Council has done that you would have done differently, and explain why and how your solution is better. I believe that working to improve the commercial and residential per-

sions that are being made at the present city council level. The present city council got elected on the premise that they would not approve the Uplands development at the Westminster Farm, or the Water Treatment Plant near the Butterfly Pavillion. Name something that the current City Council has done that you would have done differently, and explain why and how your solution is better. I would not have approved the Uplands Housing development. Instead, I would offer the landowners the option of trading the existing “undeveloped” Westminster Farm property for real estate within the “New Downtown.” What is your opinion about Westminster building a new water treatment facility? Because a well-designed water management system is so central to everything that a sustainable city has to offer, I’ve been very disappointed that the city has not taken time to consider alternatives that would be much more effective than the proposed plan. Should the city allow developers to build apartment buildings or not? There seems to be an abundance of apartments within the City of Westminster. I am not sure we need MORE apartments. The best scenario would be to build condominiums

that future homeowners could purchase for a reasonable cost. How do you think Westminster should go about addressing homelessness in the city? It is reasonable that Westminster could build, maintain and, modestly profit by providing reasonablypriced housing designed with pride. But we must also keep in mind that “public/subsidized housing” typically has a stigma attached, which, in turn, drives crime and other symptoms of unfairness. Candidate for Westminster City Council Contact: rich4westminster@ gmail.com What motivated you to seek a seat on the City Council? Residents tell us that they love the quality of life in our city, from the Open Space, trails and how they feel safe. I want to continue the work of giving our police, prosecutors, and municipal court the tools they need to deal with the post-pandemic lawlessness that has invaded our city. Name something that the current City Council has done that you would have done differently, and explain why and how your solution is better. We must strive daily to communicate better what’s happening in our city and create opportunities to listen to residents and businesses.

mitting processes could have been done sooner. Do you favor City Council campaign reforms, such as contribution limits, more frequent candidate finance reports and bans on special interest, union and corporate donations? I believe if there are to be any significant changes to campaign finance in Thornton, the conversation should be facilitated by Thornton voters. Should Thornton build a performing arts center? Whether built by the City or a private firm, a performing arts center would provide a community gathering space, improving the economic vitality of the City, and provide opportunities for Thornton residents to enjoy art performances closer to home. In your dream scenario, what would the Thornton Shopping Center be turned into? In my dream scenario, the Thorn-

ton Shopping Center would be turned into a thriving area in South Thornton, including residential, commercial, diverse restaurant options, and additional community gathering areas for all City residents and visitors to enjoy. Would you have voted for or against taking Jacque Phillips off council? Thornton isn’t my second home or my vacation home. It’s my family’s only home and I want to serve the community from within. I would have supported removing Jacque Phillips from council, as the city charter clearly outlines residency requirements for council members. Should Thornton raise their standards on fracking within city limits? The state of Colorado and Adams County both already have extensive regulations regarding fracking, which Thornton has to abide by. In the event there is a request to iden-

Rich Seymour

There are many ways to share in this digital world, but the number of tools has not created clarity. What is your opinion about Westminster building a new water treatment facility? The City Council is to provide clean, safe water to every home and business on demand. The new water treatment plant will bring modern technology that is easily adaptable, which was impossible at our soon-to-be 50-year-old treatment site. Should the city allow developers to build apartment buildings or not? All residential buildings must meet our newly adapted land use plan, which significantly reduced high-density multi-family construction. I joined other colleagues in 2019 to reject the original land use plan, asking staff to lower new construction density to meet our lowest projected water supply. How do you think Westminster should go about addressing homelessness in the city? Actions taken on individuals on public property are dictated by the Supreme Court. In 2018, a Ninth Circuit panel ruled that a city cannot charge someone with a crime or give them a ticket for sleeping in public if there’s a lack of shelter beds. This council has budgeted for temporary beds, which, if refused, then the individual(s) is trespassed. tify a fracking site in the city limits of Thornton, each project should be reviewed to determine compliance with current regulations, and what is best for the residents of the surrounding area.

the role that the energy sector plays in our economy. Fracking contributes significantly to energy independence, economic growth, and job creation.

The Thornton Shopping Center stands as a key example where a proactive approach could have yielded better results for the community. Had the cleanup and redevelopment process started before 2022, we might have avoided some of the challenges, including safety concerns, and missed economic opportunities. Do you favor City Council campaign reforms, such as contribution limits, more frequent candidate finance reports and bans on special interest, union and corporate donations? I would support more frequent finance reporting to keep the electorate informed and hold campaigns accountable. We have an obligation to ensure our voters are informed. I think greater transparency and disclosure will give voters the chance to see who is supporting candidates and with the dollar figures. Should Thornton build a performing arts center? As your councilman and under current budget constraints, we have to recognize that there are several challenges. A voter-approved tax increase would be needed to fund the project. Given these complexities, community engagement becomes crucial in assessing whether the benefits outweigh the costs and challenges. In your dream scenario, what would the Thornton Shopping Center be turned into? In an ideal world, the Thornton Shopping Center would metamorphose into a multi-purpose, sustainable hub reflecting Thornton’s diverse aspirations. The planning process should prioritize community consultation to make sure the project aligns with local needs. Would you have voted for or against taking Jacque Phillips off council? Based on the facts, I voted in favor of removing Jacque Phillips from the City Council eighteen months ago. Ms. Phillips’ actions — accepting a job in Alamosa, purchasing a house there, and making it her primary residence — made her ineligible to represent her neighbors on council. Should Thornton raise their standards on fracking within city limits? Safety remains our foremost concern, especially given the proximity of operations to our residents. Simultaneously, we must also acknowledge

Candidate for Thornton City Council Ward 3 Contact: gormley4thornton@yahoo.com What motivated you to seek a seat on the City Council? I’m at a point in my life where I want to give back for all I have been given and I want to serve. I have no ambition beyond the position of City Council Member. I believe City Council should be responsive, dependable, and of, by, and for the citizens of Thornton. Name something that the current City Council has done that you would have done differently, and explain why and how your solution is better. City Council is responsible for voting on what are known as Metropolitan Taxing Districts, through which land developers are able to roll up infrastructure expenses into bonds left behind for the homeowners to pay off as part of their “property taxes”. It is the homeowner/taxpayer/citizen who is left footing the bill. Do you favor City Council campaign reforms, such as contribution limits, more frequent candidate finance reports and bans on special interest, union and corporate donations? Yes. The influence of money needs to be removed entirely from our elections. Limited public financing and limited contributions should be enforced. Should Thornton build a performing arts center? Yes. Given the central location of Thornton within the region and the growth of Thornton and Adams County, I believe the existence of such a venue would be a cultural showplace. In your dream scenario, what would the Thornton Shopping Center be turned into? I think dream scenarios should be espoused by those who live closest to the location and are most impacted by the cleanup after waiting so long for action. The entire community can be involved, but I would defer to those who live closest to the site. Would you have voted for or against taking Jacque Phillips off council? Against. Jacque Phillips’ removal was concocted from a falsely claimed technicality -- from which any reasonable person would have concluded

otherwise. Should Thornton raise their standards on fracking within city limits? Fracking should be entirely banned as a practice. The long-term damage it does to the environment and the amount of water it wastes in the process far outweigh the benefits derived. Nicole Matkowsky

Candidate for Thornton City Council Ward 4 Contact: nicolematkowsky@gmail. com What motivated you to seek a seat on the City Council? I have served on many local boards and am now in the position to serve Thornton in a larger capacity since my children are adults. I am also a supporter of small businesses and look forward to welcoming entrepreneurs to the city. Name something that the current City Council has done that you would have done differently, and explain why and how your solution is better. I would like to see “Tax-Free Days” for back-to-school shopping and in the summer. This will give families a break by saving city sales tax on clothing, school supplies, etc. Do you favor City Council campaign reforms, such as contribution limits, more frequent candidate finance reports and bans on special interest, union and corporate donations? The Colorado Legislature passed a bill that has addressed campaign finance reform earlier this year and it goes into effect January 2024. Should Thornton build a performing arts center? As a big supporter of the Arts, I am thrilled that a 900-seat theater in the round and concert venue is already planned to come to Thornton with no cost to taxpayers. In your dream scenario, what would the Thornton Shopping Center be turned into? The Thornton Shopping Center would be a thriving and robust area filled with small businesses, shops and family restaurants. I see an area with a downtown feel that will bring out the importance of original Thornton. Would you have voted for or against taking Jacque Phillips off council? This is in the past and I am focusing on the future of Thornton. Should Thornton raise their standards on fracking within city limits? The health and safety of Thornton residents is extremely important to me

and for our community. It will be the priority for any development I review in the city. Chris Russell

Candidate for Thornton City Council Ward 4 Contact: crussellward4@gmail.com What motivated you to seek a seat on the City Council? I have an innate desire to serve the public because of my previous life experiences in the military and fire department. I am in a position in life where I can serve the community again. Name something that the current City Council has done that you would have done differently, and explain why and how your solution is better. The format in which community engagement has changed worse in my opinion. I would simply revert the meetings to the previous classroom environment so residents can learn about additional matters that they may have not known about. Do you favor City Council campaign reforms, such as contribution limits, more frequent candidate finance reports and bans on special interest, union and corporate donations? Yes, and thankfully the State of Colorado has added to the transparency and regulations surrounding campaign contributions. Should Thornton build a performing arts center? Yes, the performing arts center would give additional access to the youth and adults in our community with those interests. In terms of the youth, it can be an additional space to grow and gain exposure to the performing arts. In your dream scenario, what would the Thornton Shopping Center be turned into? This is an amazing opportunity to redevelop the 15-acre space into new and vibrant mixed-use residential condos, retail shopping, and restaurants. Would you have voted for or against taking Jacque Phillips off council? No! The removal of elected council members by a simple majority council vote was a completely undemocratic measure. Should Thornton raise their standards on fracking within city limits? Yes. The suggested distances for fracking wells to residential is 3,200 feet. Currently, Thornton only requires the minimum distance to be 750 feet.

NORTHGLENN FROM PAGE 25

With my leadership, hardworking Northglenn taxpayers will get a practical voice in government − one they can TRUST. Do you think Northglenn should allow rezoning for more duplexes, triplexes and quadplexes? When more people live closer together, human nature being what it is, there will be need for police presence as well as traffic law enforcement. Do you agree with the censure of City Councilors Nicholas Walker and Tim Long after they walked out during the Pride Proclamation? My goal is to work for positive change in Northglenn. I am disappointed that some would rather use a bully pulpit to punish Council Member Nicholas Walker and myself for making a stance opposing special-interest spending. Adam Nowicki

Candidate for Northglenn City Council Ward 2 Contact:nowicki4northglenn@ gmail.com What motivated you to seek a seat on the City Council? What inspired me to seek a seat on the City Council was the remarkable responsiveness of the city staff to the needs of the residents during the pandemic and afterward. Name something that the current City Council has done that you would have done differently, and explain why and how your solution is better. I haven’t found myself in significant disagreement with the decisions made by the current City Council over the last year. What makes you the best choice for this City Council seat? I’m deeply invested in the wellbeing of our community. Raising my family here has given me a profound understanding of the daily lives and aspirations of our residents and drives my commitment to improving our city. Do you think Northglenn should allow rezoning for more duplexes, triplexes and quadplexes? As Northglenn grows, it’s essential to plan for sustainable development that not only provides more housing options but also minimizes urban sprawl and promotes efficient

land use. Do you agree with the censure of City Councilors Nicholas Walker and Tim Long after they walked out during the Pride Proclamation? I agree with the City Council’s decision to censure both councilors. I’m frustrated that it became so contentious and disappointed that it was the focus of sessions for several months. Katherine Goff

Candidate for Northglenn City Council Ward 3 Contact:kaeligo@gmail.com What motivated you to seek a seat on the City Council? I have already served four years on City Council and feel that we have accomplished a lot. I want to make sure that all the residents of Northglenn feel, not only safe, but welcome. Name something that the current City Council has done that you would have done differently, and explain why and how your solution is better. I was not on City Council when the new Justice Center was planned and built. The City did not need to ask voters for a tax increase or fee of any kind to build the Justice Center. What makes you the best choice for this City Council seat? I have already served one term on City Council. After the Mayor, Meredith Leighty, I will be the longestserving member of the Northglenn City Council. Do you think Northglenn should allow rezoning for more duplexes, triplexes and quadplexes? Whatever approach Northglenn takes, I will make sure that we reach out to our residents and listen to their concerns. We know that housing is not being built fast enough to keep up with the demand. Do you agree with the censure of City Councilors Nicholas Walker and Tim Long after they walked out during the Pride Proclamation? I was one of the Council Members to vote to censure Councilors Walker and Long. All seven eligible members voted to do so. I believe in protecting free speech and would have listened respectfully to whatever they were objecting to. Richard Kondo

Candidate for Northglenn City Council Ward 3 (two-year term) Contact:richkondo4ngward3@

gmail.com What motivated you to seek a seat on the City Council? I felt compelled to give back to the community I grew up in serving on city council. I believe the breadth of experience and depth of knowledge enables me to contribute in meaningful ways. Name something that the current City Council has done that you would have done differently, and explain why and how your solution is better. There have been several issues where I was on the dissenting side in the last 17 months. My commitment and obligation to the council as an institution is not to publicly question outcomes. What makes you the best choice for this City Council seat? Please see responses to questions #1 and #2. Do you think Northglenn should allow rezoning for more duplexes, triplexes and quadplexes? As a land-locked city, I believe a viable opportunity to grow would be via renewal and multi-purpose and/or overlay zoning policies. Do you agree with the censure of City Councilors Nicholas Walker and Tim Long after they walked out during the Pride Proclamation? My thoughts and rationale for approaching this decision are on public record in the months of June and July as well as the vote I made on July 24th, 2023. https://webdocs. northglenn.org/ Shannon Lukeman-Hiromasa

Candidate for Northglenn City Council Ward 4 Contact:lukemanshannon@ gmail.com What motivated you to seek a seat on the City Council? I have been exposed to the many issues both residents and business owners face within different cities and counties and understand how important it is to have your voice heard in your community. Name something that the current City Council has done that you would have done differently, and explain why and how your solution is better. I can say that we have robust discussions, and we may not always agree but we have worked well together to figure out what is best for the community. What makes you the best choice for this City Council seat?

I am invested and committed to continuing the hard work and doing the hard things to ensure our city is safer, beautiful, and prosperous. Do you think Northglenn should allow rezoning for more duplexes, triplexes and quadplexes? The city will request community input regarding potential areas considered for diverse zoning uses. It’s important to me that we also maintain Northglenn’s character and charming neighborhoods. Do you agree with the censure of City Councilors Nicholas Walker and Tim Long after they walked out during the Pride Proclamation? I believe everyone on the council is held to a higher standard in the community’s eyes, that we represent all of our constituents, and that we need to follow protocols in place. Preston Evans

Candidate for Northglenn City Council Ward 4 (two-year term) Contact:Evans4NGCC@gmail. com What motivated you to seek a seat on the City Council? I believe that sound, empathetic governance by passionate individuals can truly improve people’s lives. Name something that the current City Council has done that you would have done differently, and explain why and how your solution is better. I’d like to see more discussion and debate regarding specific resolutions before the council, and less time politicking, as that’s the purpose of the council. What makes you the best choice for this City Council seat? I was born and raised in Northglenn. I know the city, and I care deeply about Northglenn and its future. Do you think Northglenn should allow rezoning for more duplexes, triplexes and quadplexes? Affordable housing options are imperative as the housing market soars while wages remain stagnant. Do you agree with the censure of City Councilors Nicholas Walker and Tim Long after they walked out during the Pride Proclamation? Members of the LGBTQ community exist in every city in America. Elected officials represent these individuals, and walking out during an inclusion-oriented event shows a lack of understanding and respect.

3.5 Source: Alluvial ground water tributary to the South Platte River. 3.6 Depth: Approximately 50 feet for each well. 3.7 Appropriation date: May 27, 2005. 3.8 Rate of diversions: The cumulative rate of diversions for the SACWSD Wells is limited to 25,500 gpm (56.81 cfs), CONDITIONAL, subject to an annual volumetric limit of 30,190 acre-feet for cumulative diversions from the SACWSD Wells and the Paragraph 26 Alluvial Wells as defined in paragraph 26 of the decree entered by this Court in Case No. 01CW258 (“01CW258 Decree”). 3.9 Use: Municipal water supply for South Adams for domestic, commercial, industrial, fire protection, irrigation, recreation, fish and wildlife preservation and propagation, and all other beneficial municipal uses of South Adams, including without limitation stock watering, aquifer recharge, sewage treatment, mechanical, manufacturing, street sprinkling, substitution, exchange, augmentation, and replacement purposes, and including both immediate application to such purposes and storage for subsequent application to such purposes, directly, through South Adams’ potable treated water system, or through a separate non-potable system. 4. Outline of work and expenditures during the diligence period towards completion of the appropriation and application of water to a beneficial use: The South Platte River Well Field ground water right decreed for diversion from the SACWSD Wells as described in paragraph 3, above (“Subject Conditional Water Right”), is integral to the District’s overall water supply system. During the diligence period, the District has and will continue to pursue development and beneficial use of the Subject Conditional Water Right as growth continues and water demands increase within District. The diligence period for the Subject Conditional Water Right is September 28, 2017 through September 30, 2023 (“Diligence Period”). The District provides water and wastewater services to approximately 65,000 customers in Commerce City and Adams County. The District maintains a diverse portfolio of water rights – both conditional and absolute – in order to provide potable and non-potable water to its present and future customers. The Subject Conditional Water Right is part of the District’s integrated water supply system to supply water for municipal purposes. “When a project or integrated system is comprised of several features, work on one feature of the project or system shall be considered in finding that reasonable diligence has been shown on the development of the water rights for all features of the entire project or system.” C.R.S. §37-92-301(4)(b). Consequently, all work and expenditures by the District in connection with its municipal water system directly and indirectly constitute part of the District’s reasonable diligence in developing the Subject Conditional Water Right. During the Diligence Period, the District has engaged in the following activities and incurred the following costs in its efforts to develop, operate, and maintain its municipal water supply system and develop the Subject Conditional Water Right, to complete the appropriation, and place the water to beneficial use: 4.1 The District has incurred an average of approximately $5,100,000.00 per year in general costs and expenses in support of its municipal water system and for maintaining, protecting, and expanding its system. 4.2 The District has incurred an average of $4,600,000.00 per year in engineering fees for engineering work in support of its municipal supply system generally and has incurred additional engineering fees each year associated with specific capital improvement projects. 4.3 The District spent an average of approximately $23,000,000.00 per year on capital improvement projects associated with its municipal supply system. More specifically, the District: (1) constructed and placed into operation a transmission main line from Well Nos. 21, 47 and 88 to the Klein Water Treatment Plant; and (2) constructed and placed into operation a state-of-the-art water softening plant for softening of the District’s potable water before the water is delivered to the District’s customers. In addition, the District completed and placed into operation Well No. 119, one of the wells decreed to withdraw the Subject Conditional Water Right, and a water transmission main line from the Well No. 119 to the District’s Landmark Reservoir that is part of the District’s nonpotable irrigation system. 4.4 The District incurred a total of $1,400,000.00 in engineering fees associated with maintenance of its existing water supplies, including but not limited to such activities as accounting for the District’s water use, operation of and accounting for the District’s plan for augmentation, protecting the District’s water rights from injury by opposing water court applications, and assisting the District with daily water operations. Of the total amount of engineering fees incurred during the Diligence Period, $620,000.00 was spent on operating, maintaining and accounting for the District’s plan for augmentation, under which the Subject Conditional Water Right is and will be augmented. 4.5 The District has incurred a total of $1,514,569.00 in legal fees to obtain decrees for water rights that are part of the District’s integrated water system and for participating as an opposer in various Water Court cases to protect the District’s water rights against injury from other water users. 4.6 Additionally, the District has and continues to work with the City of Commerce City on planning, growth projections and water supply demands, as the District’s service area is primarily within the City’s boundaries. In addition to in-house staff time at the District, the District incurred $750,000.00 in consultants’ fees for planning-related work. 5. Claim to make all or portions of the Subject Conditional Water Right absolute: The District has completed its appropriation of a portion of the Subject Conditional Water Right by pumping water from Well No. 119 and delivering the water to beneficial use within its municipal system. Accordingly, the District seeks to make the Subject Conditional Ground Water Right absolute as described below: 5.1 Maximum pumping rate: 4,500 gpm (10.03 cfs). 5.2 Most recent date on which maximum pumping rate occurred: July 10, 2023. The District will continue to divert the Subject Conditional Water Right while this Application is pending. Accordingly, as part of this Application, the District may seek to make absolute a maximum pumping rate in excess of 4,500 gpm (10.03 cfs) without the need to amend this Application to the extent the District diverts the Subject Conditional Water Right at a rate that exceeds 4,500 gpm (10.03 cfs) during the pendency of this Application. 6. Names and addresses of owners or reputed owners of the land upon which any new diversion or storage structure, or modification to any existing diversion or storage structure is or will be constructed or upon which water is or will be stored, including any modification to the existing storage pool: 6.1 Well Nos. 113, 114, and 115: City and County of Denver, 1600 West 12th Avenue, Denver, CO 80204. 6.2 Well Nos. 118 and 119: Fulton Irrigation Ditch Company, c/o Brice Steele, 25 South Fourth Avenue, Brighton, CO 80601-2029. 6.3 Well No. 120: Suburban Sand and Gravel Company, C/O Baden Tax Management, P.O. Box 8040, Fort Wayne, IN 46898-8040. 6.4 Well No. 121: Adams County, 4430 South Adams County Parkway, Brighton, CO 80601-8204. 6.5 Well No. 124: Adams County, 9755 Henderson Road, Brighton, CO 80601-8114. 6.6 Well Nos. 125, 126, 127, 128, and 129: City of Thornton, 9500 Civic Center Drive, Thornton, CO 802294326. WHEREFORE, the District respectfully requests that the Court enter a decree (i) granting this application; (ii) finding that the District has exercised reasonable diligence toward the completion of the appropriation of the Subject Conditional Water Right during the Diligence Period; (iii) making the Subject Conditional Water Right absolute as set forth in paragraph 5, above, or in the alternative continuing as conditional any portion of the water right not made absolute; and (iv) continuing the portion of the Subject Conditional Water Right that remains conditional in full force and effect for an additional diligence period. THE WATER RIGHTS CLAIMED BY THESE APPLICATIONS MAY AFFECT IN PRIORITY ANY WATER RIGHTS CLAIMED OR HERETOFORE ADJUDICATED WITHIN THIS DIVISION AND OWNERS OF AFFECTED RIGHTS MUST APPEAR TO OBJECT WITHIN THE TIME PROVIDED BY STATUTE OR BE FOREVER BARRED. YOU ARE HEREBY NOTIFIED that any party who wishes to oppose an application, or an amended application, may file with the Water Clerk, P. O. Box 2038, Greeley, CO 80632, a verified Statement of Opposition, setting forth facts as to why the application should not be granted, or why it should be granted only in part or on certain conditions. Such Statement of Opposition must be filed by the last day of NOVEMBER 2023 (forms available on www.courts.state.co.us or in the Clerk’s office), and must be filed as an Original and include $192.00 filing fee.

(I) First Level Document Review of Appeal. (1) A first level document review of all notices of appeal shall be conducted by the Director’s designee. For the first level document review the Director’s designee shall examine the parking citation, as well as the information and documentation submitted by the responsible party submitting the appeal. No in-person, evidentiary hearing will be conducted at the first level document review. (2) Based on the evaluation of the documentation submitted, the Director’s designee may either: (a) Dismiss the parking citation; (b) Uphold the parking citation, and reduce the fine amount; or (c) Uphold the parking citation and maintain the fine amount.

Notice of the decision shall be given by electronic mail or through U.S. mail to the addresses provided on the notice of appeal. Notice shall be considered as having been given upon the sending of mailing of the notice. (J) Second Level Hearing Review of Appeal. (1) A responsible party may demand a second level review in the form of a hearing within 21 days of being notified that a parking citation was upheld upon first level document review.

Notification shall be given by electronic mail or through U.S. mail to the addresses provided on the notice of appeal. Notification shall be considered as having been given upon the sending or mailing of the notification. (4) Failure by the responsible party to attend the hearing shall be considered to be an abandon-

ment of the appeal, and the parking citation shall be upheld without any further proceedings. An administrative fee reasonably calculated by the Director to offset the cost of conducting the hearing may be added to the cost of the parking citation upon failure to appear by the responsible party. (5) The City bears the burden of proof at the hearing to establish that the parking violation was appropriately issued. The burden of proof is by a preponderance of the evidence. (6) The Parking Hearing Officer shall preside over the hearing. Hearings conducted pursuant to this Section are to be informal in nature. Formal rules of evidence, procedure, and discovery do not apply, though each party shall be entitled to view the evidence submitted by the other party at the time it is admitted.

Public Notices ADOPTED as follows: 8-3-22. – Hearing on Impoundment When Probable Cause Not Determined - Procedure. (A) Hearing: Pursuant to W.M.C. section 8-3-8(G), if the city attorney’s office declines to submit the affidavit for court consideration, the owner of a motor vehicle impounded under this Chapter may petition for a hearing in the Westminster Municipal Court. Such hearing must be requested within fourteen days of service of the notice required by W.M.C. section 8-3-8(G). The sole issue before the court at hearing shall be whether there was probable cause to impound the vehicle in question. “Probable cause to impound” shall mean such a state of facts as would lead a person of ordinary care and prudence to believe that there were sufficient facts to grant legal authority under this Chapter for the impoundment of the vehicle. The court shall conduct the hearing in an informal manner and shall not be bound by technical rules of evidence. The person demanding the hearing shall carry the burden of establishing that such person has the right to possession of the vehicle and that the court has jurisdiction over the matter. The City shall carry the burden of establishing that there was probable cause under this Chapter to impound the vehicle in question. The burden of proof shall be by a preponderance of the evidence. The court’s decision as to probable cause shall be a final judgment of the Westminster Municipal Court. Failure of the registered or legal owner, or their agent, to timely request or attend a scheduled post-impoundment hearing shall be deemed a waiver of the right to such hearing. Prior to the commencement of a hearing, the City in its sole discretion may give notice in writing or on the record that the City intends to pay all impound and towing fees. Such notice shall be binding on the City and no hearing on the issue of probable cause shall be held. (B) Reimbursement for Improper Impoundment: At the conclusion of a hearing under this Section, if the court finds that the City failed to meet it’s burden under subsection (A) above, the City shall either fully reimburse the owner of the impounded vehicle for all towing and storage fees paid by the owner, or directly pay the towing and storage company for such accrued fees. If the subject vehicle is towed and stored by a private towing and storage facility designated by the City, the court may not waive fees associated with the towing or storage of the vehicle unless authorized by the designated towing and storage company. (C) No vehicle impounded under this Chapter shall be released to its owner until all towing charges, storage charges and administrative fees incurred by the City have been reimbursed to the City by the owner. If towing and storage fees are due to a private towing and storage company designated by the City to perform such services, no vehicle impounded under this Chapter shall be released to its owner until all such fees have been paid directly by the owner to such designated company. The owner of the vehicle may also be issued a citation for a parking violation, abandoned vehicle violation, or other applicable violation. (D) The provisions and procedures in this Section apply to vehicles impounded within the City of Westminster, by a Westminster Police Officer, and stored at a facility designated by the City of Westminster. A Westminster Police Officer shall not knowingly order a vehicle to be impounded pursuant to this Chapter when the vehicle is located outside the City of Westminster. The Westminster Municipal Court shall only have jurisdiction to hear matters under this Chapter when the motor vehicle was physically impounded within the City of Westminster by a Westminster Police Officer or other authorized City employee. Section 2. This ordinance shall take effect upon its passage after second reading. The title and purpose of this ordinance shall be published prior to its consideration on second reading. The full text of this ordinance shall be published within ten (10) days after its enactment after second reading.

**AMENDED** 2022CW3130 THE FARMERS RESERVOIR AND IRRIGATION COMPANY AND BENNETT RESERVOIR, LLC, 80 South 27th Ave. Brighton, CO 80601. Please direct all inquiries, pleadings and correspondence regarding this matter to: Joseph Dischinger, Beth Ann J. Parsons, Philip E. Lopez, Fairfield and Woods, P.C., 1801 California Street, Suite 2600, Denver, CO 80202. THIRD AMENDED APPLICATION FOR CONDITIONAL STORAGE RIGHT AND CONDITIONAL APPROPRIATIVE RIGHTS OF EXCHANGE IN ADAMS, DENVER AND WELD COUNTIES. Co-Applicant, the Farmers Reservoir and Irrigation Company (“FRICO”) is a mutual ditch and reservoir company that operates a ditch and reservoir system for the benefit of its stockholders. The FRICO system is divided into four divisions, including the Barr Lake Division, Milton Lake Division, Standley Lake Division, and Marshall Lake Division. FRICO is the sole member of Co-Applicant Bennett Reservoir, LLC, which owns Bennett Reservoir. By this application, Co-Applicants FRICO and Bennett Reservoir, LLC seek to adjudicate a conditional storage right in Bennett Reservoir, as well as conditional appropriative rights of exchange to exchange water released from Bennett Reservoir to the South Platte River upstream to the Platte Valley Canal headgate, the United Diversion Facility No. 3, and the Burlington Canal headgate, for irrigation uses by FRICO stockholders in the Barr and Milton Divisions, both directly and after storage in Barr Lake, United Reservoir No. 3, the Mile High Lakes, and/or Milton Lake. In addition, Co-Applicants seek to decree the conditional storage right for Bennett Reservoir for augmentation use by FRICO and its shareholders; for use as a substitute supply in future appropriative rights of exchange, water exchange projects, and/or appropriative rights of substitutions to be used in conjunction with such augmentation use; and as a replacement supply to replace return flows associated with any water rights Co-Applicants may change in the future in conjunction with such augmentation use. However, no augmentation plan, appropriative rights of exchange, or change of water rights are sought in this application, and the Bennett Reservoir

storage right shall not be used for augmentation purposes, as a substitute supply in any exchanges, water exchange projects, or substitutions, or as a replacement supply for a change of water rights unless and until included in a future decree or decrees entered by the Division 1 Water Court. The application was amended on December 12, 2022 to add Bennett Reservoir, LLC as a Co-Applicant, and include two proposed pump stations on the South Platte River to fill Bennett Reservoir, along with two corresponding release points back to the South Platte River, along with amended claimed exchanges that utilize the two release points as exchange-from points. On July 21, 2023, Co-Applicants filed a motion to file a second amended Application (“Second Amended Application”) to add a claimed permanent pipeline diversion for the Conditional Storage Right, and the Water Court granted the motion of July 24, 2023. This Third Amended Application seeks to add claimed uses for the Conditional Storage Right to be used as a substitute supply in future exchanges, water exchange projects, and/or substitutions, and as a replacement supply to replace return flows associated with any water rights Co-Applicants may change in the future, in conjunction with a future augmentation plan or plans.

Coloradans react to violence in Israel, reprisals in Gaza BY MATT WHITTAKER SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA

Amid a tragic and rising death toll from the fighting between Israel and militant group Hamas, members of Colorado’s Jewish and Palestinian communities gathered with concern. Among them, Jewish Colorado, a cultural advocacy organization, which held a Zoom meeting to see what they might do to help. Nelly Ben Tal, the Denver-based emissary from the Jewish Agency for Israel, said that her family in Israel was feeling “helpless” after reports of the Hamas attacks had shocked the world. Israel answered the attacks with its own on the Gaza Strip, a Palestinian enclave from where Hamas launched its incursion. “The last couple of days have been horrible, tragic,” for both Gazans and Jews, she said. Ben Tal added that she knew of friends and family in shelters after hours of fighting. Meanwhile, Reema Wahdan, a Front Range organizer with the Colorado Palestine Club, said in an interview with Colorado Community Media that she had a close friend who has family in Gaza that they had not

been able to reach in the days after the attack. Facing aerial bombardments, Gaza, which contains about 2 million people in an area roughly twice the size of Washington, D.C, only had intermittent electricity. Wahdan condemned the Hamas attacks but like many Palestinian advocates bristled at media reports that the assault was unprovoked. Wahdan said Gazans have lived under terrible conditions for years. “They’re literally drinking contaminated water,” she said. “It’s not a one-sided attack. It’s not just Hamas. The international community can’t start from right now.” That’s a position echoed by Democratic state Rep. Iman Jodeh, the daughter of Palestinian parents who advocates for Palestinians in Aurora and Arapahoe County. “Violence begets violence,” she said on social media. ”While we hear about the futile actions of the government and organizations in conflict, let us not forget, it is the civilians who pay the cost of conflict — often with their lives in an unending cycle of violence.” The Hamas attack began on Oct. 7. It included what human rights advocates have described as indiscriminate rocket strikes along with

an incursion, some of it captured in video showing Israeli civilians being killed or taken hostage. And Defense for Children International-Palestine said at deadline time that dozens of Palestinian children had been killed in Israel’s Gaza assault. As the conflict, described by Israel as a “war,” continued into its first week, the death toll in Israel and Gaza numbered into the thousands. Israel reportedly cut off electricity and fuel supplies and said it would not allow food into the enclave. Gaza, which has been under Israeli blockade for years, gets most of its electricity and about 10% of its water from Israel. ` “They can’t get electricity to run what they have,” Gary Anderson, a Colorado-based water engineer who has worked on a design for a desalination plant in Gaza, told Colorado Community Media in an interview last week. He is a member of proPalestinian group Center for Freedom and Justice-Colorado. At a Colorado Palestine Club demonstration at the Capitol after the attacks, about 40 people showed their support for Palestinians with flags, clapping and chanting. “Palestine is our demand; no peace on stolen land,” one of their

chants went. State Rep. Tim Hernandez, a Democrat who represents the north and west sides of Denver, came under political fire for attending the protest. “I call for the #CoHouseDems to formally reprimand Tim Hernandez,” Lisa Frizell, a Republican who represents Castle Rock and other Douglas County communities, said on X, formerly Twitter. She posted video of militants taking civilians hostage. “His behavior and support of terrorists is beyond reproach,” Frizell added. State Sen. Dafna Michaelson Jenet, a Commerce City Democrat, broke party ranks to castigate Hernandez on social media. “I wholeheartedly disagree with Rep. Hernandez’s decision to attend a rally in support of the unconscionable terrorist campaign unfolding against thousands of Jewish families in Israel,” she said in a statement. “As an Israeli and a Jew, it’s hard to put into words the pain, fear, and rage that myself and my family both here and in Israel feel. My loved ones are currently living from siren to siren running for their lives to underground bunkers.”
