Ali Lombard has wanted to be a teacher since she was a little kid. She said it is her calling. “My favorite part about being a teacher is the relationships with kids,” she said. “I’m sure all of us as adults have teachers that we can remember.” Now in her 10th year, Lombard teaches fifth graders at Fox Hollow Elementary School in the Cherry Creek School District. However, her dream career has been clouded with obstacles, primarily money. Low salaries and more responsibilities amid the rising cost of living have pushed teachers like Lombard out of one Colorado school district in search of another, leaving some school systems struggling to attract and

retain educators. Turnover rates in several metro area districts are hovering between 13%-21%. That’s higher than the national average teacher turnover rate, which was 10% by the end of the 2021-22 school year, according to a report by RAND Corp., a nonprofit policy think tank based in California. RAND also reported that the turnover rate was highest, approximately 12%-14%, in “urban districts, high poverty districts, and districts serving predominantly students of color.” Across Colorado, the turnover picture is bleaker than that in many school districts. That’s according to the most recent data from the Colorado Department of Education, which compares the 2022-23 and 2021-22 school years. SEE TEACHERS, P6

Kulmann wins another term as Thornton mayor Russell, Martinez join council as Ayala pulls ahead BY JANE REUTER JREUTER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Voters appear to have changed the face of the Thornton City Council, even as they retained some of its current members in the 2023 election on Tuesday night. While Jan Kulmann seemed to eke out another term as mayor, changes to the rest of the board appear to leave her and the other conservative board members in the miKulmann nority for the first time in years. After trailing initially, Roberta Ayala pulled ahead of Angie Bedolla by 36 votes late on Nov. 8 in the Ward 2 race. As of Nov. 9, Ayala’s lead still stood. She had

50.28% of the vote, edging ahead of Bedolla’s 49.72%. The two stand on ideologically different sides of the aisle, with Ayala a progressive candidate. Ayala remained cautiously optimistic on Nov. 9. “It was always our campaign mission to not just win an election; it was about making Thornton a Ayala better place or everybody,” she said. “My goal has never been about flipping the council. It’s always been about bringing leadership to the city of Thornton that is going to listen and truly be there to represent the people, and to uphold transparency in our local government. “I believe that’s been missing and I think that’s what people want; that’s what I want to bring. I want to make sure we’re representing people over any special interests.” Thornton is geographically divided into four wards, with two

elected representatives from each ward. Two other wards also gained new representation, with Justin Martinez elected in Ward 1 and Christopher Russell in Ward 4. David Acunto was reelected to his Ward 3 seat, results appeared to indicate. Acunto had 5,855 votes, according to the unofficial results Nov. 8. ChalAcunto lenger Mark Gormley had 4,909 votes. As of Nov. 9, Kulmann had 16,837 votes to Marvin’s 14,673 in the unofficial results. Marvin vacated her Ward 2 seat to run for mayor. The mayor’s race was a particularly difficult one. For the last few months, Thornton residents repeatedly showed up at council meetings to speak against Mayor Kulmann, criticizing the loss of ward meetings, the removal of an elected council member and their perception that the mayor refused to address issues. Nevertheless, Kulmann got about 53% of the votes. Kulmann, a senior director with Xcel Energy, was elected Mayor of Thornton in November 2019. She was first elected to the Thornton City Council as a Ward 4 Councilmember in 2013. “Thank you to Thornton voters for your support,” she said in an emailed statement. “We’ve worked hard together to build a safe community that welcomes working families, small businesses and opportunities for all. “But we’re not done yet. I’m more bullish than ever to get to work to continue to improve our city and work with our southern residents to identify areas and ways to revitalize our existing communities. And we’ll continue to provide transparent and open government for our residents to work with us on making Thornton a great place to work, play and raise a family.” Acunto, a Westminster police officer elected to council in 2019, also sent a statement via email. “This election was about moving Thornton forward and continuing to create a safe and thriving community,” he wrote. “As someone who has dedicated his life to public service, I have been humbled

by the support from families in Ward 3 and I look forward to continuing to be their voice on city council.” Justin Martinez will now represent Ward 1, the most historic part of the city, alongside current Councilor Kathy Henson. He beat out Eric Garcia, appointMartinez ed to the seat in 2022 after the council voted to remove former Councilor Jacque Phillips from the seat. Martinez had 2,065 votes to Garcia’s 1,672, according to the unofficial results Nov. 9. Several residents of that part of Thornton have repeatedly said they feel their concerns are not heard by the council. “I’d like to thank the people of Ward 1,” Martinez said. “Ultimately, the people of Ward 1 really wanted their voices to be heard. A big part of this election in all the races was the people of Thornton feeling like they haven’t been heard when they’ve talked to their elected officials. I think that’s why we’re seeing some of the results we have, and I think that’s especially true in Ward 1. There are a lot of opportunities that have been left on the table and people are ready for some investment in our community.” Christopher Russell, who will represent Ward 4, said he’s anxious to get to work. He collected 5,437 votes compared to his opponent Nichole MatRussell kowsky, who had 4,298 votes in the unofficial tally Nov. 9. “I think this is a big win for the city of Thornton,” he said. “This is significant in that it will help even out the imbalance within our city council. A more balanced city only brings positivity. “Getting to work is my new focus. Let’s start turning these around. The biggest thing is individuals have not been able to communicate and get transparency from the council. I’m happy to open up that line of communication and do some solid work for our city.”

Northglenn Mayor Leighty wins another term

Adam Nowicki and Jody Roper elected to represent Wards 2 and 4 BY JANE REUTER JREUTER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Mayor Meredith Leighty claimed victory as she retained her seat in a race against Councilor Tim Long and Northglenn native Mark Bromley on Tuesday night in the 2023 election. “I’m very excited,” said Leighty, an elementary school principal who was elected mayor in 2019 after serving two years on the city council. “I’m really inspired to continue leading my community, and keeping us on course. “We’re going to have a really solid group of dedicated city council members. I’m just really looking forward to working with the new team.” Leighty had 4,152 votes compared to 1,448 for challenger Long and 1,051 votes for Bromley as of Nov. 10, according to the unofficial results. Ward 2 will be represented by newcomer Adam

Nowicki. Nowicki is a mental health therapist who moved to Northglenn in 2019. He won in a race against Spencer Yale and Laura Garcia Pascoe. He takes the seat vacated by Becky Brown, whose term expired this month. Nowicki had 759 votes for the Ward 2 seat, besting Laura Pascoe, with 531 votes, and Spencer Yale, with 266 votes as of Nov. 10, according to the unofficial tally. Ward 4 will be represented by council newcomer Jody Roper, who won chair for a two-year term over Andrew Thompson and Preston Evans. Roper is a 20-year Northglenn resident and Adams 12 Five Star Schools assistant principal. She takes the seat formerly held by Long, who vacated it to run

for mayor. Roper had 728 votes according to the unofficial tally on Nov. 10, compared to Thompson’s 638 votes and Evans’ 498 votes. Councilors Megan Burns of Ward 1, Ward 3’s Katherine Goff and Richard Kondo, and Ward 4 Mayor Pro Tem Shannon Lukeman-Hiromasa ran unopposed. Leighty said the council will focus on many issues, including climate action. “We are going to be hiring a sustainability coordinator, who will be working on our climate action plan,” she said. “That is something council members are excited about moving forward.” While Leighty believes the city is on a good track, Long and Bromley said they felt expenses needed to be reined in. Long said he was disappointed by the results. “I had an estimation there was a solid majority in Northglenn that had differing opinions than were being espoused by the leadership of the council,” he said. “I guess I read that possibility wrong.” SEE NORTHGLENN, P24

Westminster City Council goes down to the wire Hott moves to oust Baker in 139-vote race BY JANE REUTER JREUTER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Challenger Amber Hott appeared to edge out incumbent Bruce Baker after a tight battle for the last vacant seat on the Westminster City Council. Baker led from the moment the polls closed on Tuesday. But that changed on Wednesday afternoon when Hott pulled ahead. As of Nov. 9, she led Baker for the seat by 139 votes. She had 10,093 votes and Baker had 9,954 as of Nov. 10. Hott’s win is significant because, as in Thornton’s race, the final votes shifted the city board from majority conservative to progressive.

Other results were clearer earlier. Newcomers Kristine Ireland and Claire Carmelia jumped out to sizable leads in the Nov. 7 election, claiming two of three open seats on the council. Incumbent Rich Seymour, who has served as a city councilor since 2019, was not reelected, according to 2023 election results. Hott described the board race as a “nail biter,” and said she feels fantastic about the results. “Right now, I’m looking forward to working with our other council members and residents to continue to make Westminster a great place,” she said. “My biggest issue is the unaffordability in Westminster, for everyone from our young families all the way to our seniors. I think there are many ways we can tackle that.”

The 39-year-old is a senior legislative aide in the Colorado Senate, and a 14-year city resident. While she acknowledged her win changes the political bent of the council, she’s confident the 7-member board will work together well. “I wouldn’t let that shift make the residents worry too much,” she said. “The current council is able to work together. And I think we’re all reasonable people who can also work together. We need to because that’s what’s best for the city.” In all, 10 candidates were seeking three vacant seats on the council. Although Scott Shilling and Baker were not elected, they and Ireland had run as a slate, describing themselves as common-sense candidates. Ireland did not return calls requesting comment by press time.

Carmelia said she looks forward to working with everyone in the city. “I am hopeful about the future of our city and ready to tackle the challenges we face,” she said. “I’m excited about the many opportunities to come for collaboration and building trust with my colleagues, city staff and residents for a Westminster that works for all of us.” Seymour said he will continue to be involved in Westminster. “I always respect the will of the voters; I think that’s important to our process,” he said. “I’ve been so blessed for the last four years, and I’ll continue to do what I did before I ran for city council — and that serves our city in many different capacities.” Other candidates included Jeff Jones, Karen Kalavity, Scott Shilling, Paul Page and Timothy Pegg.

Group advocating for staying on course wins Westminster Public Schools board seats BY JANE REUTER JREUTER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Incumbent Christine Martinez, Mary Beth Murphy and Audrey Yanos, who ran as the MMY slate, have won seats on the Westminster Public Schools board. The winning group ran on the idea that the district is doing well and should continue on its current path, while the challengers said WPS needs greater accountability and financial transparency. Tuesday’s 2023 election marked the first time in six years the WPS board election has been contested. The WPS board includes just five members, and three seats were up for grabs.

The trio defeated the ABC slate, which included husband and wife Charles and Brenda Gallegos and Anthony Sisneros. They promised to take a new direction from the current board, saying it doesn’t acknowledge “the challenges we face as a district.” Those promised changes included improving student achievement, adding more fiscal transparency, and stepping up parent involvement. “I’m very proud of the campaign we ran,” Martinez said. “Now it’s continuing to focus on how we can we expand our Ranum Reimagined CTE program and our Futures athletic program. It’s all about making sure kids want to stay and grow in

our district. It’s exciting to know I can be a part of that.” Murphy has been a public school educator for 32 years and is excited to continue giving back to kids. “I know how important a school board is to a district,” she said. “I’m not coming in to make changes. I don’t have an ax to grind. I want to make sure they get the best free, high-quality public education they are entitled to. It’s not about me. It’s about what’s best for them.” Yanos said she feels proud and happy. “I’m really looking forward to learning about how to expand our programs and what it looks like to work for the district as a whole,” she said. “I have kids that play in the

athletic program and I’m excited to continue to champion that program. “My personal interests lie in gardening and food security and sustainability. I know we have a horticulture program now. I want to learn how I can help expand that, get our kids into urban gardening, and sustainability.”

Candidates Michelle Applegate and Erin Kenworthy have won two open school board seats by 58.41% and 42.15%, according to unofficial election results. With 99.2% of the ballots of the county’s ballots counted, it’s unlikely either candidate could lose their lead. Applegate had 103,692 votes for the District 3 seat, representing portions of Wheat Ridge, Arvada and north-central Lakewood. Kenworthy had 73,741 votes for the District 4 seat, representing central/southcentral Lakewood and Edgewater. In District 3, Applegate led her opponent Thomas Wicke by nearly 17 percentage points and 30,000 votes. While in District 4, Kenworthy led her opponents Amara Hildebrand and Joel Newton by approximately 14,500 and 31,900 votes. “We are grateful for the support of our Jeffco community in our efforts to join the Jeffco School Board,” Applegate said. “Our students deserve leadership that will work collaboratively to ensure that they have safe, thriving schools, supported educators and staff, and learning oppor-

tunities that meet their strengths and interests as they prepare to enter college or the workforce.” Kenworthy also said she appreciates the support she received from educators, staff and the community. “I’m looking forward to working with other elected officials to address the needs of all Jeffco school communities. Educating our students is a team effort, and Michelle and I are excited to be a part of that team, and look forward to joining current board members Paula Reed, Mary Parker and Danielle Varda, and working with Superintendent Tracy Dorland, to keep Jeffco moving forward,” Kenworthy said. Applegate and Kenworthy received support from the Jefferson County Education Association, the district’s teacher’s union. “We are looking forward to having collaborative conversations with our new school board members as we move Jeffco public schools forward,” said Brooke Williams, Art educator and union president. “Our voters in Jeffco have spoken, and it’s clear that SEE JEFFCO, P24

Voters weigh in on Westminster wards, broadening city manager powers BY SCOTT TAYLOR STAYLOR@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Westminster residents approved a plan that could lead to ward voting in the city and said yes to three plans that broaden municipal authority for the city manager. A question asking residents if they wanted the city to present a plan for creating geographic wards or voting districts received enough support to win, with 13,153 yes votes compared to 11,774 no votes according to unofficial results in the 2023 election as of 11:30 a.m. Nov. 8. The city asked residents if they wanted to create a commission to review council districts at the

polls in 2021, but voters turned that question down. All members of the City Council are elected at large, by all Westminster residents. Proponents of council districts have said voting would give individual neighborhoods better representation on the council and would make it easier for candidates without a lot of money to run campaigns since they would only need to focus on voters in their ward rather than the entire city. Now, councilors will have two years to come back to voters with a plan to create some form of geographic voting. In other issues, voters approved three management questions. A

question that allows the city to adopt a fund-type budgeting system won approval 14,296 votes to 9,567 votes. A question that asked to move the city’s fiscal deadline from July 31 annually to Sept. 1 also won easily. Voters approved that measure by 18,864 votes to 5,486 A third financial question asked if the city manager could appoint a staff member to verify appropriations are in place before any contract or agreement is signed. That measure passed 15,449 votes to 8,737. Voters also overwhelmingly approved a measure allowing the city to post meeting notices, ordinances and other legal documents to the

city’s website rather than a newspaper. That measure passed 20,520 votes to 3,931. At least 35 Colorado cities and towns have asked voters to let them opt out since 2008, and voters agreed to that change in 31 of those ballot measures. Westminster’s ballot question gives city officials a choice, asking voters to permit the city to post meeting notices and ordinances on the city’s website, in newspapers or both – whichever they deem most effective. The current ordinance requires newspaper publication. Westminster is currently required to publish legal notices in Colorado Community Media’s publication the Westminster Window.

Chabad of NW Denver hosts moving display

BY JANE REUTER JREUTER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Twelve-year old Eitan Yahalomi loves soccer, fantasy literature and his family pets. Today, the southern Israeli boy is being held hostage in Gaza, among 200 people kidnapped by Hamas on Oct. 7. Far from Yahalomi’s home, in the parking lot of a Westminster Jewish community center, his face — chin resting lightly on a puppy’s head — smiles up from a photocopied sheet that says “Kidnapped.” It is one of 200 similar sheets of paper, each featuring a different face, placed on chairs at a guest-less dinner setting in the Chabad of NW Denver parking lot. Each empty seat at the exhibit represents an empty place in a family’s home. The Empty Shabbat Table exhibit, on display in Westminster Nov. 3-5, was part of a global effort to honor and remember the hostages. Similar exhibits are on display in cities around the world. Shabbat is the Jewish Day of Rest, and occurs weekly from sunset Friday to sunset Saturday. Shabbat traditionally includes three meals, beginning with candle lighting and reciting blessings over wine and bread.

“Shabbat is a time when families come together to celebrate, and rather than enjoying time with their families these men, women and children, some as young as nine months old are held captive in damp underground tunnels,” said Westminster Rabbi Benjy Brackman, executive director of Chabad of NW Metro Denver. “Seeing these empty places makes us feel these are real people who are being held as human bargaining chips in this horrible game Hamas is playing. It should be shocking and have a visceral effect.” It had that effect on Lory Bivians, a Thornton resident and long-standing member of the Chabad. “It’s just overwhelming,” she said, as she walked around the tables looking at the images of the kidnapping victims. “It’s disgusting and sad. And a lot to digest, especially when you add it to the other things going on in the world.” While Brackman said the situation is horrific, he hopes people will continue their weekend celebrations. The Chabad of NW Denver held its own Shabbat Israel unity community dinner held Nov 3. “I want people to celebrate Shabbat — do it for those who can’t,” he said.

In the Denver metro area, where districts can employ hundreds of teachers, turnover rates look like this: • Douglas County Schools, 20% • Cherry Creek Schools, 13% • Littleton Public Schools, 14% • JeffCo Schools, 16% • Adams 12 Five Star Schools, 18% • Aurora Public Schools, 21% • Denver Public Schools, 21% Education and national experts say some of the turnover is driven by teachers searching for bigger paychecks. As an experienced teacher with a master’s degree, Lombard said she was searching for a salary that “reflected a little bit more of [her] professional capacity.” And, Lombard echoed what many teachers and their unions have said in recent years: teacher responsibilities have multiplied. For instance, teachers often act as the classroom’s social worker and psychologist, work that’s become more necessary as some students face difficulties regulating their emotions and work on their social skills due to years of pandemic related isolation and learning gaps. “The expectations have grown,” Lombard said. “Our compensation has not, unfortunately.” So, she left her previous job in the

Fairchild said that while test scores are high in Douglas County School District, they might eventually come down if the district loses too many experienced teachers and can’t attract talented new ones. Josh Miller, the principal of Parker’s Cherokee Trail Elementary School, said the pay discrepancy hits the district in what he called the “sweet spot.” That’s where there’s a high number of teachers with ex-

perience ranging from two to three years up through those nearing retirement who could be lured away. “Other school districts are in the same ballpark as we are, so a lot of people are struggling in some of those areas, but again, we have the added need for more competitive pay,” Douglas County School District’s Chief Human Resources Officer Amanda Thompson told her school board in September. With concerns like those as the backdrop, voters on Nov. 7 narrowly approved a $66-million-a-year package to increase pay for Douglas County School District teachers and staff. Douglas County Federation, the union that represents teachers in the district, cheered the results. “We’re so pleased with the outcome of 5A, which will provide long overdue raises for our educators,” the federation announced on Facebook. Pay has also been stepped up for teachers in other districts in recent months and years. Yet, even with raises, teachers have been persistent in their calls for more financial support, especially amid the tight metro–area economy. Possible Solutions

The level of state funding has prevented school districts from providing “greater support for public education and schools,” according to Colorado Association of School Board Executive Director, Jubal Yennie. “Total funding in public education and for average teacher salaries in Colorado have typically been in the lowest quartertile compared to other states,” he said. Some school districts stepped up to raise teacher pay after inflation last year hit its highest level nationally in four decades. And, since then, the Denver metro area’s Consumer Price Index has risen by 4.7%. The index measures the average change over time in the prices urban consumers pay for typical goods. Douglas County saw the smallest salary increase from the 202223 school year to this school year among metro districts, according to data collected from school districts’ public salary schedules. The pay for Douglas County’s entry level teachers with a bachelor’s degree increased by $1,529, compared to Cherry Creek, which saw the highest salary increase. SEE TEACHERS, P11

Salaries for Cherry Creek’s entrylevel teachers increased by $14,580 from the beginning of last school year to this school year. Adams 12 Five Star Schools, which serves more than 36,000 students in schools in Federal Heights, Northglenn, Thornton, Westminster and Broomfield, raised starting-teacher salaries to $58,000 a year from the previous school year. That’s an increase of more than $12,000. Lower salaries also can result in some teachers, like Susan Fairchild, commuting dozens of miles every weekday to get to work. Despite having worked at Sage Canyon Elementary School in Castle Rock since 2009, which is in Douglas County, she can’t afford to live in that community. Instead, she lives in Aurora because that’s what she can afford. She also works extra jobs to make ends meet. “It is disheartening,” Fairchild said. Fairchild said the cost of housing exacerbates the issue because it isn’t affordable for many teachers she works alongside in Douglas County. The median price for a home in Aurora was $495,000 in October. In Highlands Ranch, it was $747,000, according to Realtor.com. In Denver, median home sales prices were $600,000 and $625,000 in Arvada. Average apartment rental prices reflected similar trends in those communities. “I live in Cherry Creek, so yeah, I don’t have another way to say it,” Fairchild said. “People who are coming and wanting to be teachers are not even considering Douglas County. For sure (pay rates compared to other districts) is a problem.” That leaves some school districts that don’t have as much to pay looking for other ways to lure and retain instructors. Douglas County Schools Superintendent Erin Kane said the shortterm retention efforts the district has made — such as offering discounted before-and-after-school care for staff, limiting health care costs, annual stipends and even free meals — helped keep the turnover rate from being even higher. So far this school year, more than 26,000 free meals have been served to Douglas County staff members.

Funds for tuition reimbursement for teachers’ professional development are already exhausted for the year. Kane said boasting benefits instead of offering competitive pay is not sustainable. “The district has made such tremendous short-term efforts to retain staff, but it’s really important for our public to understand that those short-term efforts are not long-term solutions, and it’s like putting a Band-Aid on a big problem,” Kane said. “All leading indicators, such as the job decline rate, are extremely troubling.” State Sen. Janet Buckner, chairperson of the Senate Education Committee, acknowledged teachers’ struggle with making a living wage, among other concerns. She also said that she is a cheerleader for teachers in the state government. “My role on the Education Committee is to ensure that we can do everything we can. And I know it sounds mundane, but we need to do everything we can to elevate education in the state of Colorado,” Buckner said. “Public education is our foundation. And that’s why the public has to be supportive.” Gov. Jared Polis announced this month that he wants to spend $564.1 million on the next budget year to strengthen schools. If approved by legislators, per-pupil funding would increase by an average of $705, or $15,500 for a classroom with 22 students. This would be on top of last year’s per-pupil funding of $1,019. The governor’s proposed budget will also provide $8 million to support STEM education and enrichment programs and $5 million for work-based learning. “We really believe that we will have enough money to improve teachers salaries, conditions, etcetera,” Buckner said of the proposed budget. Education Associations

In Aurora Public Schools, district officials recently sounded the alarm for board members to pay close attention to teacher salary issues. Months into the school year, the district has not finalized a contract with their teacher union. On Sept. 29, APS Superintendent Michael Giles sent a letter to staff about ongoing negotiations between the board and the Aurora Education Association. He wrote that he lacked the “confidence that a salary increase for

licensed staff would come this calendar year.” He also wrote that he “is greatly concerned about our ability to attract new teachers with our current starting teacher salary while also retaining veteran teachers.” The letter states that, on average, teachers received a 9% salary increase last year, but that the district paid for it with money from district reserves because of a “one-year lag in inflation adjustments’’ and because the “district’s per pupil revenue only increased by 3.5%” in the 2022-23 school year. Giles also stated that the district also made more than “$6.5 million in administrative cuts first to keep school budgets untouched.” During an Oct. 24 APS board meeting, two people spoke during

open discussion about giving veteran teachers higher salaries. According to a Sept. 29 letter from APS Superintendent Michael Giles, the teacher union turned down the district’s proposal for salary raises, which would have given first-year teachers a $10,000 raise. The education association refuted the initial proposal because veteran teachers, who have at least six years experience, would have received the lowest salary increase. Giles’ letter does not include when the district first gave this proposal to the education association. Giles’ letter stated that on Sept. 20, the district amended the proposal to increase the salary for veteran teachers from $923 to $2,600. SEE TEACHERS, P13

TEACHERS

tion teacher at Summit Ridge Middle School, said she’s in her 11th year of teaching and still trying to make ends meet. She lives with a roommate and despite doing all she can to cut her expenses, she can’t afford to go on trips or to start working on her Master’s degree to move up on the district’s pay scale. “I’m already making decisions on if I can afford to go to my doctor, or do I need to put food on the table? I’ve had to drastically cut back on what I can provide for students in the classroom because I can’t afford it,” said Hoppe. While many teachers are leaving for better paying jobs in other school districts, or just leaving the industry altogether, there are still some determined to stay in their classrooms. Carmen Curtis Basham, a high school teacher at Aurora’s Rangeview High School, said she turned down offers from Cherry Creek because she already set roots in APS. She said that she’s “made peace” with her compensation. “A part of my core belief is service above self and I chose this job because I make a difference in this world. And yes, I have friends who also have math degrees who make more doing other things, but I don’t think they’re as satisfied,” she said. Now, she serves as a mentor to early career teachers and teachers new to the school district. Her regular advice for them is to not feel guilty about leaving a school district to work for a different one closer to home. She encouraged them to spend more time with family than commuting. This story is a collaboration between Sentinel Colorado, which covers Aurora and surrounding areas, and Colorado Community Media, which covers two dozen communities in the Denver area. Editor’s Note: The teachers and administrators who participated in Colorado Community Media’s story were interviewed in late evening, away from any Douglas County School District properties.

“However, in order to meet this increased compensation proposal, we would need to reduce school budgets by 1%-2%. Given differences in budgeting and staffing, the impact of the budget reduction would vary across the school district,” Giles wrote in his letter. Teacher raises have been the focus of teachers and administrators across the metro region. Earlier this year, the Jefferson County Education Association, the union representing Jeffco Schools teachers, negotiated a 5.25% pay raise with the district. “While the increase was a good start, if the district wants to remain competitive with other metro-area districts, more work needs to be done,” said Brooke Williams, JCEA president. Like Douglas County teacher Ali Lombard, education, Williams said, is a calling. “But I still think it’s really important for educators to receive a living wage so they can live in the areas where they teach,” she added. “First and foremost, teachers are the cornerstone of our educational system.” She worries that because Jeffco teachers are paid less than several other metro districts, its schools have become a training ground where new teachers leave after a few years in search of better compensation. Burnout is also real and part of the problem, as Williams sees it, is linked to high turnover. For instance, Williams said she saw a special education teacher position go unfilled for a year. While the school split the caseload among the other teachers and compensated them more, she said it isn’t fair to expect that kind of situation to continue without teachers getting overloaded.

Westminster election results point to a fragmented council

ll the promises have been eloquently made. All of the rhetoric should have been boxed up and thrown away. All the campaign CROSS signs should be CURRENTS timely removed (per local laws). All of the campaign mailers and flyers can be recycled. Finally, Tuesday, November 7 arrived and the votes were counted efBill Christopher ficiently by either the Adams or Jefferson Counties Clerk’s Office. The Westminster City Council races for the three seats ended in surprise in my opinion. First, incumbent Rich Seymour, who is the most capable and earnest council member I know, did not get re-elected. I am still stunned as to why he lost given his hard work, demeanor and knowledge. Kristine Ireland and Claire Carme-

lia both came out on top while the third seat has turned into something of a battle between Amber Hott and incumbent Bruce Baker. Baker led early on but got to watch his lead erode until Wednesday afternoon when Hott pulled ahead. Right now, Hott leads Baker by 139 votes. Ireland and Baker were a part of conservative slate of candidates while Carmelia and Hott were members of a liberal slate. As I told people, I did not see either distinct slate being successful in a complete sweep. Certainly when the three potential winners are combined with the four carryover council members and mayor, it creates a more fragmented city council. Mayor Nancy McNally and Mayor Pro Tem David DeMott represent one philosophical grouping while Council members Nuremla, Ozeadi and Carmelia form the liberal arm of council. Baker and Ireland would be the ultra-right side of the council. Coalitions will be the name of the game to pass any meaningful legislation. While Baker and Ireland

campaigned on change i.e. water rate reduction, less apartment construction etc., I don’t see them accomplishing these goals without compromise. Nurmela, Ozeadi and Carmelia will seek increased affordable housing opportunities, more social-oriented programs etc., and could get a fourth vote with Hott. Incumbents McNally and DeMott will likely want to “hold the line” attempting to move ahead like the past two years, but must form coalitions on different desired actions. Without compromise and meeting in the middle, very little will likely get done. Plus, this combination of seven votes will make life for City Manager Mark Freitag and staff all the more difficult in finding a path forward. WPS school board race opened some eyes

While the “Status Quo” candidates (Martinez, Murphy and Yanos) who were backed by the various teachers’ unions and members of administra-

tive staff achieved a huge victory in their election, it certainly opened some eyes in the WPS community. They clearly out spent the ABC group (Gallegos, Sisneros and Gallegos) who self-funded their campaign. Plus, the voters apparently liked the MMY message of “Status Quo,” which I find so disappointing. At the same time, the ABC group got the attention of more people in the community about the ills of WPS. The need for more transparency, accountability, academic improvement and working closer with students’ parents were not lost in the ABC campaign. Westminster ballot issues all succeed

The City of Westminster had one advisory question and four City Charter Amendments on the ballot, all of which succeeded. The advisory question pertained to whether or not voters favored a geographical approach i.e. wards or districts to some degree in electing SEE CHRISTOPHER, P15

WPS responds: Nothing sneaky about Gotto hiring

ow that the Westminster Public Schools Board of Education election is complete, we think it is important to take the GUEST politics out of the debate, and set COLUMN Steve Saunders the record straight on the hiring of Dr. Jeni Gotto to take on the important role of Superintendent when Dr. Pamela Swanson retires next summer. Contrary to the very biased and uninformed opinions expressed by Bill Christopher in a series of politically motivated columns, this decision was made with great care and is clearly in the best interests of the children of Westminster Public Schools. The existing Board of Education was within its rights, and, in fact responsibility, to replace a retiring superintendent and not leave the district in limbo during a potential period of uncertainty.

The Board of Education’s unanimous vote to appoint Dr. Gotto has been met with overwhelming approval from WPS staff and community members who know Dr. Gotto’s record of hard work and commitment to our Competency Base System (CBS). When Dr. Gotto was appointed Deputy Superintendent earlier in the year anyone who had more than a passing, self-serving interest in this issue would be aware that she has demonstrated her expertise in CBS, her exceptional leadership skills and her dedication to the WPS community, students and staff. Mr. Christopher asserts that the decision was made behind closed doors in a “good ole boy” tactic orchestrated by Superintendent Swanson. This is a complete fabrication. In a public session in September, four of the five Board Members (one was absent) spoke at length about

why they were inclined to promote Dr. Gotto rather than conduct a nationwide search that would cost taxpayers $60,000 to $100,000. Significantly, Dr. Swanson, who was on leave, was not present during that board meeting, nor did she in any way participate in the meeting. Board President Ken Ciancio announced that a special session devoted to the superintendent search would be scheduled for the following week on October 5. At that meeting and two subsequent public meetings, no one ever came forward to oppose Dr. Gotto’s promotion. In contrast, former Board of Education President Dino Valente, who has worked closely with Dr. Gotto over the years, spoke in support of her promotion reminding the community that Westminster Public Schools has always fared best when promoting leadership from within. Mr. Valente has a much better un-

derstanding of the needs of WPS than Mr. Christopher, who regularly belittles the district and who did not reach out to any WPS employee or Board member to ask about the selection of Dr. Gotto or her history of outstanding work within the District. Had Mr. Christopher attempted any independent research on the selection of a superintendent, he would have easily discovered a piece that appeared earlier this year in the National School Board Association magazine titled “Improving the Superintendent Search Process.” It concluded: “If a board feels good about the direction of the district and they have a strong internal candidate, I recommend skipping the search. To do a superintendent search when you have an internal person who clearly aligns with the board’s priorities and goals SEE SAUNDERS, P15

council members. It passed 13,153 in support and 11,774 against. The next step will be for city council to decide how to proceed in the many details which go into setting up wards or districts, how many of them and how many of the six council seats should be elected from wards/districts versus being elected at-large. The four City Charter Amendments, which were “housekeeping,” all passed handily. Proposition HH bites the dust

A big “Hurray” should be yelled out with the demise of Proposition HH. Governor Polis and the Democratic controlled state legislature got a resounding “No” to their ill-conceived plan to lower property taxes and grab future TABOR refunds from

costs the district money and places other candidates in a difficult position as they often must inform their present employer when they are being considered in another district. It also can be somewhat demoralizing to a strong internal candidate. Opening a search just to say you did one does no favors for anyone.” As was made clear by the outcome of the election, the community agrees that Westminster Public Schools is moving in the right direction. What is also clear is that Mr. Christopher was not interested in what was best for Westminster Public Schools, but rather in painting a factually inaccurate narrative in order to criticize a decision with which he disagrees. Mr. Christopher also attempted to influence the outcome of the Board Election with more half-truths and innuendos. He implied there was something unethical about district employees donating their personal funds to support a specific candidate. As he well knows, campaign contributions are a form of protected free speech. Indeed, although he failed to inform his readers of his own political bias, he publicly supported a slate of Board candidates by posting signs in his yard, while at the same time criticizing decisions of a

the taxpayers. As I said before, looking at HH from a long-term perspective, it was not in the taxpayers’ favor and afforded the legislature way too much additional annual revenue. Now, the task will be for the legislature to regroup and see what alternate approach can be constructed. We still need property tax relief, but not at the taxpayers’ expense of receiving diminished TABOR refunds or no refunds at all. We know the Democrats don’t like TABOR, but it is here to stay as the public has less faith in the government. Proposition II is approved

Proposition II involving the underestimated nicotine tax revenues was a “no brainer” in my opinion. The $23.65 million in question was approved by voters to go to the statewide preschool programs. Case closed. SEE CHRISTOPHER, P23

Board he made no attempt to speak with or interview. A newspaper columnist’s attempt to stifle the free speech rights of WPS employees is concerning at best. Those who gave money to certain candidates did so without any input or knowledge from the District or the Board because they believed they were the best choice to lead WPS into the future. As Mr. Christopher was well aware, some of the candidates were outwardly hostile to the work being done in Westminster Public Schools as it came off the state accountability clock and made steady, consistent progress. WPS employees are free to donate to candidates who reflect their point of view and could possibly impact their work and careers. Finally, Mr. Christopher claimed that a principal had violated district policy by actively campaigning while at school. The District investigated the allegation and it simply never happened. Mr. Christopher, who again failed to reach out to the District or the accused principal, couldn’t be bothered to seek the truth, but rather repeated something someone had shared with him. There is a widely known quote that says, “Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but not their own facts.” Westminster Window readers deserve better. Steve Saunders is the Chief Communications Officer for Westminster Public Schools.

LIFE Local artists express themselves through forms of metal, precious gems, unique designs BY ELISABETH SLAY ESLAY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The heat of the torch, the smell of pickling solution, the sound of metal on a mandrel and the look of a completed piece are common aspects silversmiths and jewelers in the Denver metro area enjoy about their craft. Sara DeAngelo Jewelry: “Southwest, feminine, natural and detailed”

For Englewood business owner and professional jeweler Sara DeAngelo, these aspects of the silversmithing system are elements she loves, but they come secondary in her personal process. “I am obsessed with stones and the history of how a stone is formed and how it’s literally the only one in the world like it,” DeAngelo said. She said taking a unique “peace of the Earth” and “turning it into this beautiful treasured something that makes somebody feel more beautiful” is her favorite part of the craft. Originally from Los Angeles, DeAngelo began her career in 1997 after a terrible encounter with a rude customer. DeAngelo said she quit her job and the very next day began selling her pieces door-to-door at different businesses. “I walked out the door and then the next morning I went around

with my little trays of jewelry to a bunch of stores and I got two retail stores that first morning and that sent me on a totally different path,” DeAngelo said. DeAngelo currently has a retail store and studio at 16 E. Girard Ave. in Englewood. She describes her styles as “Southwest, feminine, natural and detailed.” “I make mostly sterling silver. They’re usually hand stamped using Navajo stamps that I buy from the Navajo artists themselves and then (I use) unique gemstones that I literally search the world for,” DeAngelo said. DeAngelo moved into her current location after outgrowing her last studio and while she wasn’t looking for retail, she’s happy she found it and she loves the connections she forms with people. DeAngelo is an established artisan in the industry and she said she was featured in the Sundance Catalog. She said that was a dream goal for her and her work is sold in about 50 stores across the country. She said the jewelry-making community is vast in Colorado because in her experience people seem to appreciate and value homemade items. DeAngelo makes all sorts of pieces including rings, earrings and necklaces but she loves making earrings the most because they’re her favorite type of jewelry to wear. DeAngelo said making a delicate piece can be very meticulous and detail-oriented. “It’s harder than it looks…and it’s very exact,” DeAngelo said. SEE JEWELRY, P17

Fellow silversmith and production assistant of DeAngelo’s, Katie White is also enjoying the process of building her own business and finding a balance between her two worlds. White said her specialties in jewelry making are stone setting and intricate stamping work and making things that “excite people and offend them too.” Originally from New Jersey, White moved to Colorado about seven years ago and is now based in Boulder. White sells her pieces in Denver at markets and in galleries. White said she was “stone obsessed” as a teenager. “I was collecting raw stones and I actually started wire wrapping and making mainly pendants and rings out of copper and brass,” White said. During her senior year in high school, White said she was supporting herself, and while she enjoyed making her pieces, she was also selling them as a means of survival. For White, the best aspect of jewelry making, which she has been doing for about nine years, is that it’s a three-dimensional art form. “I really love that metal feels like a resource that I can time and time again manipulate,” White said. “It feels like it can be recycled and repurposed. It feels like there is always a story to any jewelry pieces and anything metal-related.” When she makes a piece, White said she notices a correlation between her mental state and the process. The silversmith said she will start her process off with a “ceremony” whether it’s making a cup of coffee, smoking herbs or cannabis or saying a prayer. “Jewelry making is like putting a little piece of my soul and body energetics into something that someone’s going to wear forever,” White said. White describes her jewelry as different, unique and bold. “I would say my jewelry has a core theme of being alternative,” White said. “I definitely dabble in everything from being edgy punk to almost like biker babe to boho flowy (and) gem-centered.”

White said people enjoy her jewelry which she sells through Instagram, on her website and in five stores in Denver and two in New Jersey. White joined DeAngelo’s studio about three months ago and enjoys executing DeAngelo’s style of wire wrapping and knotting. “What’s cool is I feel like I am honing a lot of my more nitty gritty skills,” White said. “Just making my things look nicer, cleaner, production style and mass quantity.” In her home studio of organized chaos, however, with her own production assistant and canine companion Dobby, White said she’s a “one-man show.” “I move all over the place. I change things. I do have a tendency to go in between projects,” White said. White said she believes she’s “creating magic” in her studio. “I feel like I am working with my hands and get to view magic by the end. I feel like I am an alchemist. I feel like I am connecting to the Earth,” White said. Michelene Berkey: “Not for everyone”

Michelene Berkey is a metalsmith who has made jewelry for a large portion of her life and works from her home studio. Based in Evergreen, Berkey said she designs and makes silver jewelry with high-carat gold accents, gemstones and different kinds of pearls. Originally from New York, the 73-year-old said she has had an interest in jewelry making since she was child. “My grandfather would go to the jewelry exchange in New York and bring home things wrapped up in little pieces of tissue paper and rubber bands,” Berkey said. “I remember standing at the table watching him unwrap these things and just being fascinated with jewelry.” She attended California State of Long Beach, learned her techniques and “never stopped making (jewelry) and designing it.” When she was in California, Berkey said she worked in various jewelry shops in the late 1970s and then she moved to Colorado. She said she didn’t have any jewelry connections and took a break from the craft profession to own and operate her own wallpaper and paint business. Berkey said she returned to full time metalsmithing in 2000. SEE JEWELRY, P18

“The jewelry that I make is not traditional jewelry. It’s more what they call art jewelry,” Berkey said. “I know how to make traditional jewelry…That’s what I was trained to do but the jewelry that I am making now is made from little sections of cottonwood twigs and just natural things that I find.” Berkey said the traditional process consists of a metalsmith making a piece out of wax, plastering it and then placing it in a “burnout” kiln where the wax is melted away. “What’s left is the void of that particular piece that you’re making and then when you’re ready to actually do the casting you melt your metal and you pour it in and it fills in all of those places where the wax had been originally,” Berkey said. She siad she wants her pieces to have a lot of texture. “It’s an interesting process. The casting is the same as manufacturers would use to make anybody’s traditional wedding ring,” Berkey said. “In my case I am actually burning away the twigs because they burn away just the same as a wax.” Berkey said her work is “not for everyone” but those who love it have responded well to her creations. “The more people have seen it and understood that it’s silver and it’s made from the twigs they’re really fascinated with that,” Berkey said. Berkey sells her work in galleries and she attends various shows throughout Colorado and other states. Denver Jewelry Studio: A place to learn

Berkey is always willing to learn, and said she has attended the Denver Jewelry Studio in Littleton and taken classes in different techniques. The studio has various levels of classes taught by many different instructors and managed carefully by studio owner Judy Brown. “Our studio we call it a maker space. It’s basically for people who have no experience at all in metal smithing or they’re professionals and they’re looking to learn a new technique,” Brown said. Located at 8392 South Conti-

nental Divide Road, Unit 104 in Littleton, Brown said Denver Jewelry Studio is open daily, except on Wednesday, from 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. There are four total employees including Brown and 30 contract instructors who travel from all over the country to hold classes. Brown said she purchased the studio from the previous owners in 2018 after teaching there. “I am a retired state auditor for the state of Texas and Colorado and I needed a creative outlet,” Brown said. Brown loves “the endless learning” of metalsmithing. Brown said her style of jewelry is more natural, which was what she was interested in exploring. “For somebody that’s a numbers cruncher I found that I gravitate to the organic because it gave me so much more freedom and a lot of times it mimics nature,” Brown said. “I am always fascinated with not only textures but colors that we find in natural rocks and tree bark.” Brown said her primary technique to do and teach is cuttlebone casting. “It’s a very old technique. They use the cuttlefish. I learned that one in 2007 and I just gravitated to it because I love the texture that you find in that,” Brown said. Brown said she was developing her own style to the technique by making the casting thinner which wasn’t common. This she said is how she also entered the world of teaching. “I love teaching because I love to see people learning to be creative.

ing,” Miro said. Located at 6750 S. Emporia St. in Centennial, Miro said the family opened their retail space 15 years ago. Miro said both her father and her brother are jewelers and the family owns a factory in Lebanon, which is where the business began. The family opened their current location in 2017 and Miro said her father attended college in Colorado and wanted to return. For Miro, the best aspects of what she does are the custom pieces the business creates and seeing it journey over the last several years. “It’s just the custom part of it and being able to take something that has been in our family for a long time and evolve it over time,” she said. Miro explained the business has evolved from bench jewelry to manufacturing and retail. She said they make everything from wedding bands to engagement rings to necklaces to earrings. “The nice thing about custom is you can work with any style because you’re creating it all,” she said. “It’s not like you’re a brand that you have specific styles that you’re working around.” While versatile in design, Miro said she would describe the company’s pieces as classic and trendy. Miro said she is not a jeweler but she works on the back end of the business in purchasing and finance. “I like that it’s a family business that we’ve grown over the generations and we will have for future generations too,” she said.

I think being creative feeds our souls,” Brown said. “All of us need that in our lives in whatever form we have whether it’s cooking or painting.” Brown said for those looking to venture into metal smithing the studio recommends that they take the 30-hour Metalsmithing course and then go from there. She said information on classes can be found on the studio’s website. She said people will learn the basics including sawing techniques, filing, hammering and setting stones. “For us teaching the beginning students all of these techniques they don’t have to buy a lot of equipment to get started at home and they can really express their creativity,” Brown said. Denver Jewelry Studio also offers Open Studio where artisans can pay a monthly fee to utilize its tools. New Denver resident and jewelry maker Jenny Foulkes said she recently moved to Colorado and found the studio. “I needed bench space because my studio is not set up in my home and (Brown) has all the tools, all the solder stations and they’re open all day,” Foulkes said. “I like the warm welcoming atmosphere.” Miro Jewelers: A family-owned business

Pay tribute to 10th Mountain Division at History Colorado

here are all kinds of stories that get forgotten in the fog of war, stories that need to be retold to give those who served the respect COMING they deserve. ATTRACTIONS That’s the ethos behind Winter Warriors, Warriors the History Colorado Center’s,1200 Center’s, Broadway in Denver, latest exhibition, which is a tribute to World War II’s 10th Mountain Division — the first Clarke Reader American troops specifically trained for mountain warfare. “Winter Warriors isn’t just about combat in World War II, it’s also a story of creativity, resilience, ingenuity and the human condition,” said Dr. Chris Juergens, Head of Curatorial Services and Anschutz Curator of Military History at History Colorado, in a provided statement. “This exhibition puts a human face on the inhumanity of war, and high-

lights the price of freedom that US servicemen and women continue to be willing to pay on behalf of their fellow citizens.” The exhibit opened on Veterans Day and truly takes an expansive and intimate look at the division, from their training at Camp Hale in Colorado’s Rocky Mountains through their breakthrough against the Nazi German Army in the mountains of Italy. The division paid the ultimate price during its time in the fight — about one-third of its members were wounded or killed. According to provided information, the exhibit relied on resources from the 10th Mountain Division Resource Center — a collection largely donated by veterans of the unit and maintained by History Colorado and the Denver Public Library — and features some never-before-seen items. Some of the special items on display include

• A fez taken from Fascist dictator Benito Mussolini’s Italian villa when it was occupied by American troops

in 1945. • The bow and arrows used by one of the division’s archers. • The uniforms worn by soldiers in training and in combat — as well as those worn by the Women’s Army Corps at Camp Hale and Red Cross volunteers in Italy. • Pieces of art constructed, carved, and etched by soldiers at Camp Hale and on the front lines. The aim of the exhibit is visitors come away with a greater appreciation of a story they may have never heard before. “This is a chance for visitors to embark on a multi-sensory journey that explores the history of the 10th Mountain Division from its origins to its combat service in more detail than ever before seen in an exhibition,” Juergens stated. “Even those familiar with the story of these famed Winter Warriors will be captivated by new details, photographs and objects that bring this history to life.” Find full details atwww.historycolorado.org/exhibit/winter-warriors.

Celebrate Thanksgiving with The Last Waltz

When we lost The Band singer/ songwriter Robbie Robertson in August of this year, we lost one of rock’s great troubadours. And that loss will make the annual Thanksgiving tribute to the music of The Band, The Last Waltz, even more special. The 19th annual Last Waltz Revisited will be held at the Fillmore Auditorium, 1510 Clarkson St. in Denver, at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 22. For those unfamiliar, the concert is a recreation of The Band’s final group performance, which was immortalized by Martin Scorsese in a documentary of the same name. It’s a great communal opportunity to celebrate one of the best rock songbooks. Get tickets atwww.livenation.com. Get a closer look at the Middle East in Northglenn

ere While the core impulse behind Opineration Freebird, the free Thanksgivy,ing food giveaway sponsored by the heAdams County Sheriff ’s office, has red’smained the same over 19 years, a few asthings have changed. in “The goal, our mission, has never ree.ally changed,” said Sgt.

No profits or income are generated by this event. The sheriff ’s office, the Adams County Sheriff ’s Foundation and more than 40 local non-profit agencies and other community partners also help provide a range of services to the needy in the North Metropolitan area. The Thanksgiving giveaway returns from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Nov. 18 at Mountain States Toyota, 201 W. 70th Ave. in Denver. There is no registration needed, so residents just need to show up and collect their food. SEE MEALS, P22

This is the second year Mountain States Toyota has hosted the giveaway. When it started in 2004, it was hosted at Rocky’s Autos along Federal Boulevard. “We started offering help for a few hundred people in the early days at the Rocky’s Auto lot on 64th and Federal, and from there, we’ve had to expand and go to different locations,” Sherman said. “The amount of people who show up just kept growing, and as we’ve increased our

advertising and promotions of the event, volunteers and local businesses have been attracted to the event, too. We’ve been able to provide services to a greater number of people.” Another thing that will be the same as last year is that volunteers won’t be handing over an actual turkey. Just like in 2022, people who come to Operation Freebird will get a voucher from Butterball that can be exchanged for a bird anywhere Butterball turkeys are sold. “Logistically, getting our hands on thousands of frozen turkeys and storing them and transporting them was a logistical nightmare,” he said. The giveaway also includes a box

of food, all the fixings for a Thanksgiving meal courtesy of Food Bank of the Rockies. “We have cans and non-perishable items and we have fresh produce,” he said. “Our goal is to provide a complete Thanksgiving meal and fixings for a family of four in each box we provide.” Those attending will have the opportunity to receive free health screenings, dental screenings, vaccinations, mental health services, and various other Adams County programs for employment assistance, childcare programs, and more. “The gist is providing the food products, but we have partnered with Centura Health and with Kaiser

Incoming WPS superintendent gets four year contract

On a unanimous vote, the Westminster Public Schools Board of Education approved a four-year employment contract with their next Superintendent of Schools, Dr. Jenni Gotto. Her starting annual salary is $209,613 plus $500 per month for a car allowance plus $10,000 in a tax shelter investment of her choice plus the standard professional memberships, conferences and meetings expenses. I would say that is a reasonable salary level for the incoming Superintendent. However, given Pam Swanson’s annual salary of $291,200, it makes Gotto’s pay look stingy. Anyway, it is now done and Swanson with her five existing board members achieved their “race to the election” not knowing how the school board election was going to turn out. As said earlier, the MMY (Martinez, Murphy and Yano) slate won handily with their approximately $55,000 in campaign war chest. It’s ridiculous

In summary

It’s good to get the off-year election completed. The people have spoken with both the winners and losers now declared. Democracy isn’t perfect and voters can be misled at times, but the system works. I believe incumbent Rich Seymour would have been an excellent council representative for four additional years. I believe the ABC slate for the WPS school board would have brought much needed positive change to a school district which is stuck in a rut. However, the people have spoken and we all need to move on. Bill Christopher is a former Westminster city manager and RTD board member.

I’d advocate in favor of funding special education resources to avoid legal costs associated with not meeting legal requirements in individualized education plans.” She believes schools have a responsibility to keep students safe and that the district’s educators are qualified to be supportive adults when discussing sensitive topics with children.

Marble moves into coaching

Former Prairie View athlete joins coaching staff at Western Wyoming

BY STEVE SMITH SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA

A local alum is taking his basketball career to a new space. Former Prairie View High School basketball player Trey Marble is still involved in his sport, and his new role keeps him at his college alma mater, Western Wyoming Community College in Rock Springs, Wyoming. Averaging more than 20 points and five assists as a senior, Marble scored over 1,000 points at Prairie View before going on to dominate in college also. He was even an all-Eastern Metro Athletic Conference choice for Prairie View in 2017. Playing came easily to Marble, but coaching was never really what Marble envisioned himself doing. “Coaching was never a goal for me until I finished playing basketball,” Marble said. “After I was finished with my college career, I found myself watching more basketball than I have ever watched up until that point.” That’s when the idea of coaching entered the picture. Marble was an all-conference player and a member of the Mustangs’ National Junior Collegiate Athletic Association (NJCAA) Region IX title-winning team in 2020. “I was burnt out from playing, but I still had the love and passion for the game,” he said. “I knew I had more to give to the game, and that’s when it felt like a ‘paying-it-forward’ type of thing.” A case of the nerves came with the new job, too. But he’s confident he’ll adjust quickly. He already has. “Once I got going, it felt like second nature,” Marble said. “Now that we’re in-season, there’s not a day that goes SEE MARBLE, P27

Legend beats Brighton in playoff action BY JIM BENTON SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA

The expectations for the Legend football team will change during the upcoming week. Legend was expected to beat Brighton on Nov. 3 in a first-round Class 5A state playoff game and the Titans did just that, whipping the Bulldogs 51-14, in a game played at Echo Park Stadium. The Titans (8-3) advanced into a second-round contest on Nov. 10 at Valor Christian. Legend is 0-9 all-time against Valor (6-4) and the Eagles are a team that has been in five of the past seven state championship games and has won eight state football titles. “Nobody expects us to win,” said Legend’s senior middle linebacker Nate Sandy. “I like being an underdog. When you are the underdog, you can’t lose anything. You can win and shock the whole world.” There was nothing shocking about Legend’s performance against Brighton as the Titans dominated the game as it took the Titans only four offensive plays to score. Legend rolled to a 37-0 lead and when Jeff Baca returned the second-half kickoff 87 yards for a touchdown to push the Titans

ahead 51-6, it got the running clock working for the remainder of the game. “We had a fantastic week of practice and there was nothing else to it,” said Sandy. “We came out and executed well.” Legend didn’t put up big offensive numbers as the Titans finished with 274 yards of total offense but except for two long passes, the Titans defense was strong. “It was such a good feeling that we could trust everybody on the defense,” added Sandy whose older brother Luke is a redshirt freshman center at the University of Wyoming.“Everybody did their job. There’s nothing else we can do to match that.” Sandy led the Legend defense with 12 tackles including seven solo stops. Peyton Aukland and Carson Flowers had interceptions. Junior running back Jaden Lawrence finished with 74 yards rushing and three touchdowns. Brian Doyle and Noah Archuleta each caught a touchdown pass for the Titans. “We played a very solid first half on offense, defense and special teams,” said Legend head coach Monte Thelen. “Our next round will be against Valor, so we know it will be a major step up in competition.

We are looking for another very good week of practice.” Legacy vs. Eaglecrest

Legacy, the No. 17 seed, knocked off 16th-seeded Eaglecrest 28-14 at the Stutler Bowl in Greenwood Village. The Lightning relied on the general ground game and Tyler Anderson to pull out the win. He carried the ball 30 times for 193 yards and a touchdown. Omari Bursey (six carries, 21 yards), picked up the other rushing touchdown. Quarterback Devan Kircheval completed seven of his 10 passes for 55 yards and one score. Bursey, who caught three passes for 33 yards, was on the receiving end of the touchdown pass. The Lightning (7-4) travel to the Stutler Bowl for the second round and a contest against undefeated and top-seeded Cherry Creek. No stats were available for the Raptors, who finished their season with a record of 7-4. In other first-round games on Nov. 3, Castle View downed Fossil Ridge, 35-16, Denver Eastbeat Mullen, 23-7, Fountain Fort Carson toppled Fairview, 42-14, Chatfield got past Cherokee Trail, 42-7.

Smaller preschool class sizes planned BY ANN SCHIMKE CHALKBEAT COLORADO

Colorado officials want to cap preschool class sizes in the state’s new universal preschool program at 20 students next year and require at least one staff member for every 10 children in the room. These proposed limits represent a notable change from an earlier plan that allowed classes sizes of 24 preschoolers and staff-student ratios of 1 to 12. Both are higher than what leading early childhood groups recommend. National experts panned the earlier draft of Colorado’s universal preschool quality rules, saying that the state’s proposal set a low bar and could lead to bad outcomes for kids. The new draft rules are set to be finalized next spring and will take effect in the fall of 2024. A state advisory committee will weigh in, but Lisa Roy, executive director of the Colorado Department of Early Childhood, will make the final decision. The new draft rules reflect the balance state officials are trying to rystrike between ensuring the highquality program they promised and making the requirements attainable to a wide range of providers in a lowedwage, high-turnover field. Universal atpreschool is available in lots of setil-tings: school district classrooms, prihe nrds ey he

vate child care centers, faith-based preschools, and licensed homebased programs. State officials launched the $322 million universal preschool program in August without establishing rules on quality in part because they ran out of time. State preschool leaders told providers last spring to “keep doing what you’re doing.” That means wide variations in quality this year for the more than 48,000 children getting tuition-free preschool through the program. Some children attend preschools with top scores on the state’s child care and preschool rating system, Colorado Shines, while others attend low-rated programs. Research shows that high-quality preschool produces positive short- and longterm outcomes for children. Colorado’s rules on preschool quality, which will spell out requirements around curriculum, staff training, and child health screenings, will eventually bring more consistency to the universal preschool program, but it could take till 2026 or after to fully phase in all the requirements. Aside from the lower class sizes and staff-student ratios, the new draft is largely similar to the first one. As in the original, it generally requires providers to use a curriculum from a resource bank approved by the state. In addition, preschool

providers would be subject to onsite evaluations every three years. It also specifically states that faithbased preschools can’t include religious instruction in hours funded by universal preschool — a rule that is not in place this year, according to a spokesman for the Colorado Department of Early Childhood. Training requirements for preschool staff are a bit different in the new draft, with employees only required to have completed four hours of training on some topics next year, down from eight in the previous draft rules. The new draft institutes the 8-hour training requirement in either 2025 or 2026 — either the third or fourth year of the program — depending on the training topic. The new draft also delays requirements for providers to offer or coordinate health and developmental screenings for preschoolers until the 2025-26 school year. The new draft rules don’t address preschool teacher qualifications. A separate set of rules that will take effect in the fall of 2025 will set those requirements. The state is collecting feedback on the latest draft of the universal preschool quality rules through at least Nov. 22. Chalkbeat is a nonprofit news site covering educational change in public schools.

by that I’m not excited about what’s to come. I like to take things one goal at a time, and that’s to win the region championship so we can go compete for a national championship.” Averaging 14 points and 3.6 assists per contest in two seasons, Marble recorded 612 points, 150 rebounds, 202 assists, 58 steals and 120 threepointers at Western Wyoming before transferring to the University of Illinois-Springfield. For UIS, he averaged 10.5 points, 2.6 rebounds and 3.2 assists per game in two seasons. Marble rejoins a Western Wyoming team that was 18-14 last year and earned a spot in the Region IX tournament. His new tasks for the Mustangs include on-court player development, scouting reports, film sessions, weight training and “pitching in where it is needed.” He also uses teachings from past coaches in his new role. In fact, he relies on them. “I’ve had some really good coaches throughout my life, and I like to take bits and pieces from all of them,” Marble said. “I take the most from Coach Damian Romero (Prairie View’s boys basketball coach) because I feel like he had the biggest impact on me as a player. I’ve witnessed him develop some great players and teams.”

During this diligence period ACWWA has been working on Phase II, which will allow ACWWA to deliver up to 5.25 million gallons of renewable water to customers each day, thereby reducing dependency on non-renewable wells. Phase II also included expansion of the Northern Water Treatment RO Plant (2018-2020) and the North and South Booster Pump Stations (2018-2019), and construction of Deep Injection Well II (2018). The total estimated cost of the Phase II infrastructure is $60 million for an additional 10 million gallons of pumping and treatment capacity.

Case No. 23CW3075, application filed June 30, 2023; case currently pending. 4.2.4. Water System Development. During the diligence period, United Water and Sanitation District, on behalf of ECCV, has developed and acquired infrastructure for Phase II of the Water Supply Project (“Phase II”), including but not limited to mining United Reservoir No. 3; completing construction of 70 Ranch Reservoir in July 2019; completing construction of Holton Reservoir in June 2021; and securing easement deeds and agreements for structures necessary to deliver water to ECCV. During this diligence period ECCV has been working on Phase II, which will allow ECCV to deliver up to 14.75 million gallons of renewable water to customers each day, whereby reducing dependency on non-renewable wells. Phase II also included designing the expansion of the RO Plant and the North and South Booster Pump Stations (2017), construction of Deep Injection Well II (2018), and expansion of the plant and pump station (2020). The estimated cost of the Phase II infrastructure is $84.8 million. 4.2.5. Substitute Water Supply Plans. During this diligence period, ECCV has filed joint substitute SWSPs with ACWWA in order to use additional replacement supplies to replace out-of-priority depletions from the ACWWA/ECCV Well Field to facilitate the efficient operation of the Water Supply Project. SWSPs were filed annually from 2017-2022. 4.2.6. Protection of Water Rights. ECCV has regularly monitored the filings of other water users. It has filed Statements of Opposition and incurred legal and engineering costs in connection with numerous cases to protect its water rights. 4.2.7. Opposition of Detrimental Legislation. ECCV has been actively involved in opposing Colorado State legislation that would negatively impact the operation of its augmentation plans and exchanges. 4.2.8. ECCV continues to rely upon and develop the conditional water rights described herein and has no intent to abandon it. 5. Claim to Correct Dry-Up Map. Exhibit 6 to the final decree in Case No. 13CW3026 includes a map identifying the lands to be dried up pursuant to the terms of the decree. Applicants later realized that the dry-up map for the Orr-Swift Farm was not updated to reflect a change in the historical consumptive use analysis that removed historical use on certain lands from the final analysis. The effect of this error was to identify lands that needed to be dried up despite the fact that this land was not claimed to be irrigated as part of the historical consumptive use analysis. To correct this error, Applicants seek to update the dry-up map for the Orr-Swift farm to eliminate the land in question. Exhibit A attached hereto shows the new dry-up map reflecting the final HCU analysis in Case No. 13CW3026. 6. Names and addresses of owners of the land on which the structures are or will be located, upon which water is or will be stored, or upon which water is or will be placed to beneficial use. Greeley Canal No. 2 and the Cache la Poudre Reservoir are owned by the New Cache la Poudre Irrigation Company and the Cache la Poudre Reservoir Company, whose address is 33040 Railroad Avenue, Lucerne, Colorado 80646. WHEREFORE, Applicants respectfully request that this Court enter an order (1) finding that reasonable diligence has been exercised in the development of conditional water rights described herein and that they be continued as conditional; and (2) approving the update of the dry-up map for the Orr Swift Farm.
