The Adams County Board of Commissioners voted 3-2 on Tuesday to opt out of a Tri-County Health Department order that requires masks for kids ages 2 to 11 in indoor school and child-care settings.

The commissioners’ decision now bestows authority about masks with local school districts and their boards. Most districts in Adams County currently require masks for younger students.

After the meeting, spokespeople for Mapleton Public Schools, 27J Schools and Westminster Public Schools said the districts were keeping the current mask guidance.

A spokesperson for Adams 12 Five Star Schools said the district was evaluating its current mask guidance and the opt-out decision.

The county board meeting was an opportunity for a group of citizens to protest and for commissioners to clarify stances on public health decision-making.

Board chairperson Eva Henry and Commissioners Chaz Tedesco and Lynn Baca voted to opt out of the order that Tri-County’s board approved Aug. 17. Commissioners Emma Pinter and Steve O’Dorisio

COVID cases rise; doctors frustrated with unvaccinated Delta variant more contagious, hospitals see more patients under 50

BY THELMA GRIMES TGRIMES@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

As the new delta variant of COVID spreads, hospitals and emergency rooms along the Front Range say they are seeing more patients but are not yet overwhelmed.

According to the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, as of Aug. 20, ICU beds went from 72% to 80% occupancy over the preceding month.

In the Denver metro area, hospital officials say they are handling the uptick well but remain concerned as the new COVID variant is a lot more transmissible.

According to UCHealth, after a steady decrease of COVID patients between April and mid-July, cases are steadily rising with more than 200 patients with confirmed or

Thornton hires new city attorney Thornton City Council votes 7-2 to approve contract for Tami Yellico

BY LIAM ADAMS LADAMS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Tami Yellico will be Thornton’s next city attorney starting in October.

Thornton City Council voted 7-2 to approve Yellico’s contract with the city at a meeting Aug. 24. The hiring follows the council’s sudden firing of former City Attorney Luis Corchado in January.

Mayor Jan Kulmann, Mayor Pro Tem Jessica Sandgren, and Councilors Jacque Phillips, David Acunto, Angie Bedolla, Julia Marvin, and Sam Nizam voted for Yellico’s contract.

Councilors Adam Matkowsky and Sherry Goodman voted against Yellico it.

“Well, I’m very happy that we have come to this conclusion tonight. It was a good process,” Sandgren said before the council voted for Yellico’s contract.

After the council voted 5-4 to fire Corchado — those voting supporting the move cited workplace com-

plaints — the city hired an executive search firm in the spring to help select a new permanent city attorney. Bill Tuthill has served as city attorney in the interim.

There were signs of conflict among the council throughout the process to hire a new city attorney, as indicated by Councilor Jacque Phillips at a council meeting in July. Phillips provided few details, though, because discussions about the recruitment occurred in executive session.

It seems that some disagreement between Phillips and other council members were resolved, given that she voted with those she has considered opponents.

Bedolla said at the Aug. 24 meeting that she wasn’t initially supportive of Yellico during the recruitment process. However, she added, “I know that our staff was very supportive of you (Yellico). I may have had different perspectives, but I hope that you will lead well, and I trust that you will.”

The city will pay Yellico an annual salary of $215,572, according to the contract. Yellico is the director of strategic initiatives for the city and county of Broomfield, where she is also the local government designee for the oil and gas department.

Before then, she was the city attorney for Loveland, according to the Reporter Herald.

Jury convicts man in attempted drowning case STAFF REPORTS

BRIGHTON – An Adams County jury convicted a 33-year-old man of attempted murder, sexual assault and kidnapping after an eight-day jury trial.

Sentencing for Fermin GonzalesFlores will be in October.

The crimes happened in Thornton in January 2020. A press statement from the 17th Judicial District Attorney’s Office said the victim returned home from work when her cousin’s boyfriend, Gonzales-Flores, entered the bedroom.

“They engaged in a brief conversation before Gonzalez-Flores proceeded to strangle the victim until she lost consciousness,” said the press statement from DA spokesman Chris Hopper. “The victim awoke to the defendant standing over her again. The victim attempted to stop Gonzalez-Flores from harming her further by using a knife and pepper spray that sat on her nightstand. But the defendant pulled her to the floor and began to strangle her again.”

The press statement said Gonzalez-Flores dragged the victim by her hair to the laundry room and then to

the landing area near the front door of the home. The victim managed to open the front door and scream for help.

“But that angered the defendant,” Hopper’s statement said. “GonzalezFlores strangled the victim again and then dragged her upstairs to the bathroom. The defendant continued to strangle the victim until she lost consciousness.”

When the victim awoke, the press statement said she noticed that Gonzalez-Flores was filling the bathtub with water. The defendant grabbed the victim and submerged her head in the water. She attempted to “play dead” on several occasions, but Gonzalez-Flores continued to hold her head underwater.

The defendant eventually pulled the victim’s head out of the bathtub

Thornton City Council seats ballot set Thornton’s Ward 3 will see a different face on the City Council next year as Council veteran Sam Nizam steps down.

Nizam is the only incumbent on the City Council not seeking another term. Instead, Ward 3 residents get to choose between Kati Miya and Tony Unrein.

In all, eight candidates are seeking to fill the four open seats on the City Council this fall. The City Clerk can begin mailing ballots to residents Oct. 8 and the polls officially close Nov. 2.

Ward 1’s Sherry Goodman will seek another term, defending her seat against Kathryn Henson.

Ward 2’s Jessica Sandgren will defend her seat against Robert Ayala. Ward 4 incumbent Angie Bedolla will face Karen Bigelow for that seat.

“The victim eventually made it to a coffee shop where she called 911,” Hopper’s statement said. “Thornton police officers responded to the home and took Gonzalez-Flores into custody.”

“The brutality of this crime is truly unspeakable,” said District Attorney Brian Mason. “The defendant repeatedly tortured, brutalized and sexually assaulted this victim.

North Metro Fire hosts 9/11 anniversary events STAFF REPORT SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA

As the 20th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks nears, North Metro Fire Rescue District, Broomfield Police Department, the City and County of Broomfield and the Veterans Museum Broomfield will host a series of events to remember the lives lost and reflect on the lessons learned from the tragedy.

Scheduled events begin Sept. 8 and include documentary screenings, a memorial ceremony and other presentations.

“It’s important to take time to remember a very pivotal day in our country’s history and honor the legacies of those who were taken from us too soon,” said North Metro Fire Chief David Ramos. “We have an entire generation who grew up with no memory of the 9/11 attacks, and it’s the responsibility of those of us who remember that day to ensure they understand the sacrifice and the legacies and lessons we carry forward.”

Close to 3,000 people died during the September 11 attacks in 2001, and hundreds more have died since due to health complications from exposure to toxins at the scene. Of those lives lost, over 400 were firefighters, law enforcement officers and emergency services providers.

The commemorations begin at 6:30 p.m. Sept. 8 at the Broomfield Auditorium, 3 Community Park Road in Broomfield with the screen-

ing of the documentary “Finding Daylight.”

Finding Daylight tells the story of two families who lost loved ones in the 9/11 attacks, including the Faughnan family, who reside in Colorado. Through the use of unique artwork and video, the documentary tells the story of how each family journeyed forward from September 11, 2001, and how they overcame grief to find healing and hope.

Following the screening, film director Bettina Moss, along with Colorado-based composer, Chris Pilsner, will share insights into the making of the film. They will be

joined by members of the Faughnan family to answer questions from the audience. This event is free to attend, but a reservation through the City’s B-Rex reservation system is required to secure a seat at the screening. RSVP online at bit.ly/ findingdaylight.

Memorial ceremony The North Metro 9/11 Memorial Ceremony is scheduled for 9 a.m.

Sept. 11 at the Broomfield Amphitheater and 9/11 Memorial, 3 Community Park Road, in Broomfield.

This year’s 9/11 Memorial Ceremony will include some special additions to commemorate the 20th

anniversary. Remarks will be made by family members of Chris Faughnan, who died when the Twin Towers collapsed, retired New York Fire Department Captain John Fatta, who volunteered countless hours at Ground Zero in the aftermath of the attacks and retired North Metro Fire Chief John O’Hayre and artist Sonny Riviera who spearheaded the creation of Broomfield’s 9/11 Memorial.

The ceremony will also include an honor guard procession, flag presentation and ceremonial bell ringing in remembrance of each site attacked on 9/11. Special music will be provided by bagpiper Michael Lancaster and Bugles Across America, and community members are invited to add notes and mementos to a special tribute wall displayed near the memorial throughout the weekend.

Following the 9/11 Memorial Ceremony, the Veterans Museum Broomfield will host a Coffee and Conversation event with a presentation by Chaplain (COL, U.S. Army, retired) Andy Meverden on how 9/11 impacted his service in the military and ministry in Afghanistan. That is scheduled for 11 a.m. at the Veterans Museum Broomfield, 12 Garden Center, Broomfield.

After the talk, an encore screening of “Finding Daylight” will be shown in the museum’s presentation room downstairs. Seating is limited, so visitors are encouraged to arrive early to secure a seat.

27J Schools tests Adams County’s opt out Parents argue to loosen mask restrictions after county’s decision

BY LIAM ADAMS LADAMS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The 27J Schools board of education was one of the first school boards in Adams County’s districts to meet after county commissioners voted to opt out the Tri-County Health Department’s mask order for kids ages 2 to 11. The public took advantage of the timing.

“I believe that allowing parents the choice to choose for their child whether or not to put a mask on them is the best choice. It is the full decision. We don’t follow what other people tell us, right?” said Jenn Venerable, a former 27J Schools board director, during public comments at the 27J board meeting Aug. 24. “And this district has always been a trailblazer. And the fact that we are not mandated now by Tri-County is a serious blessing because now there is no

legal repercussions.”

Venerable was one of many public commenters who asked officials in the Brighton-based district to loosen its current restrictions that requires middle and elementary school students to wear masks, especially because the district is no longer subject to the directive from Tri-County Health.

The district initially didn’t require all students to wear masks but changed its policy after TriCounty Health issued its mandate Aug. 17. On the morning of Aug. 24, the Adams County Board of Commissioners voted 3-2 to opt out of Tri-County’s order, leaving decisions about masks up to individual school districts.

The 27J Schools board meeting was that night. It was the first school board in Adams County to meet since the opt-out decision.

“Remember the world tilted on us this morning,” 27J Superintendent Chris Fiedler said in the meeting.

The board had not scheduled any action items about masks for the meeting, so it did not make any decisions about the district’s policy.

For the time being, the district’s

current mask policy will remain in place, Fiedler said.

However, that wasn’t the case for one of the district’s charter schools, Belle Creek, which changed its previous mask policy hours after the Adams County commissioners opted out. Belle Creek said it will not require vaccinated students to wear masks, whereas it used to.

At the 27J board meeting, an audience member pointed out the fact that Belle Creek changed its policy after Adams County opted out.

“They did, and I have an idea as to why they did, although I won’t say it in public,” Fiedler responded.

The 27J board limited public comments to 45 minutes, a time filled mostly by mask opponents.

“Our family is not afraid of the Delta variant. We have the Alpha and the Omega,” said one public commenter.

Many of the speakers who were critical of the district’s current mask requirement framed their argument as being “pro-choice.

A public commenter who is a fourth-grade history teacher in the district said, “I think a lot of us here tonight are to the point

hearing on Tuesday morning, a group of parents gathered for a rally and prayer outside the Adams County Government Center.

The group then made its way to the board chambers. Once the board meeting began, the commission-

ers immediately added a resolution to the agenda to opt out of the Tri-County order because the item wasn’t originally on the agenda.

Henry formally motioned to approve the resolution for opting out.

“County commissioners are not health experts and should not be in the position of making decisions about our residents’ health. That decision should be up to our health department,” she said.

Henry said the Tri-County order is inherently flawed because it created the option to opt out, which puts the onus on commissioners. Henry said she still agrees with the intent of the order and supports maskwearing.

When Henry motioned to approve the resolution, the audience cheered in response.

Tedesco and Baca echoed Henry.

Baca went a step further, though, and said that the current predicament makes a case for Adams County leaving the Tri-County Health Department. Baca said county staff briefed her on the idea in January, but the county had not taken formal action.

The board is expected to discuss the idea of leaving Tri-County in October, Baca said.

“When we undertake our discussion in October to leave Tri-County Health, I will hold all of us accountable that we go through this transformational change of providing a better health system overall, that we have better leadership,” Baca said.

“We have great leadership now, but we just cannot live, and we cannot stand under an opt-out order.”

Pinter felt differently. “They (TriCounty) have made a recommendation, it is our job to take the recommendation of those members of the board of health who quite frankly have put their lives on the line, who have feared for their safety.”

Pinter became emotional, especially after seeing that a majority of the board would vote for opting out.

of a breaking point where we are sick and tired of people mandating whether we make a choice for our bodies or not, mandating to wear a mask or take a vaccine. It’s a person’s choice.”

Not all commenters opposed the district’s policy, and some applauded the board and administrators for following public health expert guidance. A couple also thanked the district for offering medical exemptions for students to not wear masks. Fiedler also encouraged parents to seek out that option if they felt the need to.

Fiedler said district staff would evaluate the district’s current mask policy in light of Adams County’s opt out but said a main concern of his is staffing. If too many teachers are out because they contracted COVID-19 due to relaxed mask wearing, the entire system experiences the strain. “That’s the tension,” he said.

Mapleton Public Schools, Adams 12 Five Star Schools and Westminster Public Schools have not changed current mask requirements after Adams County’s opt-out decision.

Just seconds before the board voted, she said, “I would implore my colleagues to use our authority that we have delegated to Tri-County health and take the recommendation seriously and follow this order, which is designed to protect our children.”

Pinter’s comments were met by boos and hisses from audience members. Others made jazz hands — a motion that a leader of the protesters encouraged people to motion early in the meeting as an alternative to shouting out — though that ultimately did not discourage the heckling.

Then, after the vote, parents and some local school district students spoke during public comments.

Despite the opt out resolution passing, public commenters still chose to criticize the Tri-County order and the commissioners who voted against opting out.

“I don’t know what your agenda was, but it certainly wasn’t for them today,” Dixie Easton said to Pinter and O’Dorisio, pointing to a group of students she asked to stand up to make her argument.

Adams County is the second after Douglas County to opt out of TriCounty’s order.

A local protest over public health guidelines a little less local Small event in Westminster draws supporters from far away

BY LIAM ADAMS LADAMS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A day after hundreds of people gathered at the Adams County Government Center to protest a Tri-County Health Department mandate, about two dozen people met at Tri-County’s office in Westminster for another rally. Neither were random.

The protest over public health guidelines in Westminster on Wednesday drew supporters from Douglas County and Longmont.

Though a local group that formed weeks ago organized the Westminster protest, the event’s turnout signals an increasing connectedness among local groups throughout the metro area.

“There’s many, many different tentacles and fingers that have been individually started. And now we are starting to connect all of those groups and feed them into an overarching organization,” said Luke Johnson, an attendee at Wednesday’s protest.

Johnson, who is from Douglas County and said he’s more connected with groups of angry parents in the Douglas County School District, learned of Wednesday’s protest

from Telegram, an encrypted messaging app.

Telegram was one of several social media apps that Jennifer Ruder, the event’s organizer, used to advertise the event. She also used Caucus Room, a conservative social networking site, and Signal, another encrypted messaging service.

Ruder said she tried to create an event on Facebook but received an error message in response. However, she said that other people at the protest learned of the event through Facebook, from people reposting the event’s original advertisement.

“Join us in solidarity as we peace-

fully protest against the forceful tactics that the government, schools, medical facilities, businesses and employers are using to restrict our freedom and take away our choice to do what we think is in the best interest of ourselves and our families,” Ruder’s original post read.

Though social media was effective at spreading the word, it wasn’t the only way people learned of the event. Peggy Altschuler, a Longmont resident, said she and her husband learned of the event because the Boulder County Republicans advertised it. Meanwhile, Lisa Bexton said she heard about the event from

fellow protesters at the rally at the Adams County Government Center — an event that people learned of through word of mouth and Facebook posts— the day prior.

Lisa Graham heard about the Westminster protest because she is friends with Ruder. That’s how Ruder’s group, the “Colorado Freedom Coalition,” started. Just among a group of friends in the Adams County region who knew each other through a homeschooling network, Graham said.

“This has definitely grown. This has grown and we are being able to have our voices united,” Graham added.

Some of the people who weren’t connected with Ruder before Wednesday’s protest sad they hope to stay connected with the group afterwards. Bob Badovinac said he saw the event’s advertisement on Caucus Room and that he will keep an eye out for future advertisements from the Colorado Freedom Coalition.

Tri-County spokeswoman Becky O’Guin said, “We are aware of the protests and have felt the impact of what seems to be an organized effort, but are not aware of any actual efforts.”

O’Guin didn’t say how concerned Tri-County is about the increasing frequency of the protest, but added, “When we know of a protest we do let local law enforcement know, but the few we’ve had have been very peaceful.”

COVID FROM PAGE 1

breakthrough COVID and unvaccinated patients is night and day. Most vaccinated patients come to the ER more out of fear and are quickly released, Usatch said.

“Really, we are seeing two flavors of COVID patients,” he said. “The vaccinated have a runny nose, maybe a slight fever and headache. The unvaccinated are ending up in the ICU and deteriorating quickly. The vaccine really does protect from serious disease. It is heart wrenching.”

Usatch said besides the delta variant being a lot more contagious, a big change from treating COVID patients from last year is age. Last year, hospitals were treating more patients over 65. This year, most patients coming into emergency rooms are under 50 and unvaccinated, Usatch said.

At Sky Ridge Medical Center in Lone Tree, Chief Medical Officer Eric Lung said they are not overwhelmed with patients, but the HealthOne hospital is seeing a steady increase of COVID cases between the ages of 18 and 50.

“I wouldn’t say we are inundated with patients at this point. We are managing them well,” he said. “The unvaccinated cases we are treating are a bigger concern. They are more contagious and have a lot more symptoms.”

Like Usatch, Lung said it is frustrating to have a vaccine option available but have emergency rooms still filling up with unvaccinated patients.

September 2, 2021 “The only way out of this pandemic is to get vaccinated,” Lung stressed.

Dr. Katie Sprinkel, an emergency room physician with the Medical Center of Aurora, said it is not about the delta variant, but about treating positive COVID cases.

“The people we are admitting are the unvaccinated,” she said. “In most cases, the breakthrough vaccinated patients are released. Hospitals across the city are going to keep getting full.”

In family medicine, Dr. Anne Jobman, of UCHealth Primary Care in Lone Tree, said general-care physicians have a lot of young adults and children presenting with COVID symptoms.

Jobman said she is recommending a lot of her adult patients go to the ER but children with COVID still seem to be handling the virus well.

“Delta has definitely become the dominant strain in the positive tests we are seeing,” she said. “Child cases are steadily climbing because it is so much more contagious, which is why we are seeing it in unvaccinated and vaccinated patients.

The unvaccinated patients who are under 50 are getting very sick.”

Jobman said vaccinated patients are getting better quickly, as they would with a common cold. Vaccinated patients are rarely being sent to hospitals for elevated treatment, she said.

At Children’s Hospital Colorado (CHC), Kevin Carney, associate chief medical officer and pediatrics emergency medicine specialist, said there are a lot more concerns for children under 12 as the delta variant spreads.

BY THELMA GRIMES TGRIMES@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Dr. Eric Lung, chief medical officer at Sky Ridge Medical Center, says poor air quality and an increase in contagious respiratory cases are adding to parent stress as the new delta variant of COVID continues to spread.

Lung said one of the biggest concerns coming out of the hospital’s pediatric unit in Lone Tree is the unseasonably high number of RSV cases this year.

RSV, or respiratory syncytial virus, is a common respiratory virus that causes mild, cold-like symptoms. While most recover within a week or two, RSV can be serious for infants and older adults.

RSV is the most common cause of bronchiolitis and pneumonia in children under a year old.

Symptoms of RSV include runny nose, decrease in appetite, coughing, sneezing, fever and wheezing.

Kevin Carney, a pediatric emergency specialist for Children’s Hospital Colorado, said RSV cases are a lot more common in the winter.

“We really are not sure why this is showing up at such an atypical time,” he said. “There are a lot of different factors that are being looked at.”

Besides RSV, Carney said chil-

dren are not immune to environmental factors. With poor air quality continuing and a lot of smoke in the air, kids with asthma and respiratory issues have been struggling, he said.

MIS-C is also increasing among children along the Front Range.

MIS-C, or multisystem inflammatory syndrome, is a serious condition associated with COVID-19 where different body parts can become inflamed, including the heart, lungs, kidneys, brain, skin, eyes, or gastrointestinal organs.

Anne Jobman, of UCHealth Primary Care, said the problem with MIS-C is it can present with a variety of symptoms and show up weeks after a child is exposed to COVID. Symptoms of MIS-C can include abnormal gut pain, bloodshot eyes, chest tightness/pain, diarrhea, feeling extra tired, headache, low blood pressure and neck pain.

At such a vulnerable time for children, Carney and Jobman said parents should be overly cautious this year. If a child is having any kind of symptoms, Jobman said parents should call a regular-care doctor and immediately get a COVID test.

Carney and Jobman also agreed that keeping sick children home until they are diagnosed or better is more important now than ever.

by Colorado from drug companies sued for their alleged role in the opioid epidemic would be split between state and local governments under a tentative deal unveiled Aug. 26 that calls for the money to be spent on building treatment facilities and bolstering prevention and education programs.

The agreement, structured as a memorandum of understanding, still needs the approval of local governments to move forward, but it has the support of Attorney General Phil Weiser and top officials from Denver, Adams, Logan and Pueblo counties, which were hit hard by the opioid crisis.

The deal would break up the state into 19 regions, to which 60% of the settlement money would go. The regions will have their own governing councils made up of local public officials to oversee the local distribution of funds.

Local governments would receive 20% of the settlement money, while

10% would go toward building drug treatment facilities. The remaining 10% would be managed by the attorney general’s office, which would use the dollars to create statewide strategies to deal with the opioid crisis, such as prevention and education programs.

The framework also calls for an oversight board made up of six members appointed by Colorado Counties Inc. and the Colorado Municipal League, six members appointed by the attorney general and one nonvoting chairperson.

The money Colorado expects to receive from opioid settlements is made up of $300 million from Johnson & Johnson along with three major drug distributors, Cardinal Health, McKesson and AmerisourceBergen.

At least another $50 million is expected from Purdue Pharma, the creator of OxyContin, and from members of the Sackler family who owned the pharmaceutical giant. Mallinckrodt, another opioid maker, is expected to pay $25 million and $10 million likely will come from McKinsey & Company, a consulting firm that advised Purdue Pharma.

Weiser said the state could get additional money from other settlements, and the agreement provides a guide for how to spend future money.

Weiser announced the deal at a news conference in Denver, where he signed the agreement and urged

local governments to also sign on to the plan.

He was joined by a cadre of local government officials, including Denver Mayor Michael Hancock, Logan County Commissioner Byron Pelton and Pueblo County Commissioner Garrison Ortiz.

The opioid crisis “started in the boardroom,” Weiser said, with executives who wanted to “make as much money pushing out these drugs, which were highly addictive.

“It’s time to hold them accountable,” he said.

Hancock said local governments have spent millions of dollars dealing with the consequences of the epidemic, which has devastated families and led to otherwise healthy people “walking our streets like zombies.”

The mayor told The Colorado Sun that the settlement money will go a long way toward helping the city’s medical and rehabilitative services recover some of the money they’ve had to spend to deal with the crisis. Hancock added that opioids have “exacerbated our issues and our challenges around homelessness.”

Meanwhile, rural counties have struggled with different problems stemming from the opioid crisis.

Specifically, they’ve struggled to identify people who need help in sparsely populated areas.

Logan County Commissioner Byron Pelton said that there’s one mental health center serving a ten

county region in the northeastern plains, and that people have to drive 120 miles from Yuma County to reach the nearest detox facility in Greeley.

“The resources are stretched thin,” Pelton said.

Prowers County Commissioner Wendy Buxton-Andrade echoed those concerns, expressing hope that the settlement money will ensure “our jails do not become the detox centers, because right now that’s what we have in rural Colorado.”

Pueblo County Commissioner Garrison Ortiz told The Sun that one solution local leaders are looking at is a sort of “hub-and-spoke” model with a central treatment facility used by multiple service providers that have satellite offices in surrounding counties.

Even as officials make plans for how to spend the millions of dollars in settlement money, Weiser noted that the opioid epidemic is far from over. The spread of fentanyl, a powerful synthetic opioid, has been driving overdoses as of late.

Rep. Neguse announces $304.2 million for CD2 STAFF REPORT

Congressman Joe Neguse (DLafayette) announced on Aug. 27 that the Denver Regional Transportation District (RTD) which services Boulder, Broomfield, and Jefferson County within his congressional district, will be receiving $304.2 Million from the U.S. Department of Transportation Federal Transit Authority (FTA). The federal frant funding is courtesy of the American Rescue Plan (ARP), and is intended

to help RTD maintain service and jobs as communities continue to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic.

“I am so excited to share that our communities will be receiving American Rescue Plan funds to support the transit workers of our district,” Rep. Neguse said. “This funding will help protect jobs, build climate resilient transit infrastructure, and ensure continued service on vital roadways. I would like to thank Secretary Buttigieg and

FTA Administrator Fernandez for providing this vital funding to our State and to the people of Colorado’s Second District.”

“Public transportation has been a lifeline for communities and the American people throughout this pandemic,”said U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg. “This funding from President Biden’s American Rescue Plan will help protect transit employees from layoffs, keep transit service running, and ensure people can get where they

need to go.”

RTD was bedeviled by flagging revenue and a driver shortage before the pandemic struck and suffered major disruptions to rider and route demand during it.

The American Rescue Plan Act, signed into law this spring by President Biden, allocates more than $30 billion in taxpayer money towrd public transportation.

The Act also included $2.2 billion for additional transit pandemicassociated need, which will be awarded later this year.

Roaming charges: Dropped phone foils escape STAFF REPORT

BRIGHTON – It’s a sign of the (technological) times.

Weld County sheriff’s deputies arrested a 51-year-old man after they tracked a deputy’s lost cellphone to the bed of the suspect’s pickup truck.

Steven Sandoval could face charges of criminal impersonation, criminal mischief, attempting to influence a public servant and eluding. Sheriff’s office spokesman Joe Moylan said all those potential charges are felonies. Sandoval could face a series of misdemeanor counts, too, including resisting arrest, driving

with a revoked license and driving without insurance. Moylan said deputies added a potential extra felony charge of attempting to introduce contraband into the jail during booking.

It’s up to the Weld County District Attorney’s Office to make the decision.

Sandoval The arrest happened around 1:15 a.m.

Aug. 23 in the 9100 block of Weld County Road 2, west of Brighton, according to deputies. They saw Sandoval driving a white 2000 Chevy pickup truck. Inside the

storage lot, Sandoval allegedly told deputies he was his little brother, Anthony.

“The deputy pulled up on his cellphone a mugshot of Steven Sandoval, as well as a list of his known tattoos, and was able to confirm the driver was in fact Steven Sandoval,” Moylan said.

“While trying to talk Sandoval out of his pickup to take him into custody, the deputy placed his county-issued cellphone on the rail of the truck’s bed.”

After that, Moylan said, Sandoval shifted into drive and fled the scene, crashing through a security gate in the process. Not long after the crash, the deputy real-

ized his phone was missing.

“He used his personal cellphone to call another deputy to have him find it using the ‘Find My iPhone app,” Moylan said. “The second deputy was able to locate the cellphone as it traveled west toward Boulder on the E-470 tollway. The phone stopped about 2:47 a.m. at an address in the 4800 block of Jay Road in Boulder.”

Moylan said Boulder County sheriff’s deputies were able to arrest Sandoval on Jay Road. The missing cellphone was in the bed of Sandoval’s truck. Sandoval was treated at an area hospital before his arrest. Sandoval is in the Weld County Jail on a $23,000 bond.

Vulnerable: How our cities are addressing homelessness

A

s we know, the COVID-19 pandemic impacted the world including all 50 states in America to varying degrees. Starting in February/March of 2020, we quickly learned the importance of getting tested (well, many of us did).

While public health agencies, hospitals and other medical providers provided this essential service, city and county governments played supportive ancillary roles such as providing locations for testing and advertising the testing clinics.

Once the vaccines were available, the same providers, as well as private sector entities like pharmacies, offered the vaccinations. This monumental effort targeted most ages, people working or not working, families of all ethnic diversity, people with or without shelter and other factors.

Unfortunately, the pandemic had

Case studies on how increasing homelessness was addressed I thought it would be insightful to look back over 2020 and see the magnitude and types of support and services from local governments regarding the homeless population which accelerated during this time. I picked the cities of Northglenn, Thornton and Westminster as “case studies.”

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Candidate: Space to grow I’m running for Westminster City Council as a voice for change - to bring hope, dignity, and opportunity for everyone.

I’m heavily involved in the community and I’m a small-business owner and experienced professional with leadership across multiple industries (transportation, healthcare, real estate, technology). But, despite those credentials, many folks care more about one characteristic: I’m black.

I’ve spoken directly to thousands of residents, and I’m overwhelmed with the love and support across the community for my candidacy.

A common theme: Our residents value and want more equity (e.g. geographic equity of parks and trees or caring for the unhoused).

The few residents that don’t care for equity often ask: What’s in it for me?

Equity is the equality of opportunity and of reward for equally good merit. Outside of the moral argument, if we SEE LETTERS, P11

You will see that the bulk of funding disbursed by local governments came from the federal government.

It should be noted that state and county funds were involved as well.

Also, you will see the impressive amount of cooperation between local governments and various agencies (both profit and non-profit) to put the funding to work at the ground level. Please keep in mind that each city’s population and the homeless populations in each city differ. Thornton has a population of 146,000, Northglenn is 39,000 and Westminster is 115,000. These are approximate figures.

Thornton’s response to homelessness during COVID Let’s start with the City of Thornton. Basically, funding came from three federal funds sources — Community Development Block Grants (CDBG), 2020 CARES Act and previ-

ous year’s CDBG funds plus City General Fund money.

The bulk of federal money went for “homelessness prevention” which consisted of numerous services. Examples include rent/ mortgage/utility assistance, housing counseling and navigation, transportation services, health services, child care, legal services and shelter programming.

A total of $1,101,860 has been spent on these services. Major recipients of these funds include Maiker Housing Partners ($400,000), Almost Home ($352,500), Mile High United Way ($122,963) and Brighton Housing Authority ($70,509).

Rules and roles in an ever-changing game

f the game itself isn’t changing, the rules often do. Sometimes, any change to the rules could make the game harder to play and challenging to follow. We WINNING see penalties assessed WORDS and wonder why. Or we see very clear infractions, with no penalty called.

There are the games, and then there is gamesmanship, and the difference between the two will often determine the outMichael Norton come. Some of us love games, many referring to ourselves as “Gamers.” And then there are those who prefer some other type of entertainment or activity, the “non-Gamers.”

There are some games where the rules have remained hard and fast since the game was invented. And then there are those other games being played where the rules change every so often. In the interest of creating a better experience, the rules change so that the game becomes faster, more exciting, or more challenging, all to generate greater interest. The rules of the game may also change as technology advances. When this happens the powers that be try and level the playing field by changing the rules.

Although many of us have learned to gamify our work and our activities so that we can stay interested, stretch ourselves, and perform at a higher

level, not everyone looks at life as a game. And with everything that is happening in the world right now, it is easy to understand why.

There are very real, hard, and painful situations and events taking place right now. Whether we are a “gamer” or not, somehow, we are caught up in the game and the gamesmanship of others. Directly or indirectly, we find ourselves in the position of the spectator, fan, player, coach, owner, or official.

If we choose to remain on the sidelines as a spectator or fan, we will root for our team. We may even criticize the players, management, and ownership for poor decisions and planning or terrible execution. It’s super easy to second guess others when we stand in the shadows. We don’t vote and then complain about who won the election. We watch with heartache the events happening in our community or around the world but don’t take any action to help. We have decided to be a spectator and life is not a spectator sport.

Being so moved that we find a way to get into the game means that we have decided to be a player. We are no longer comfortable merely watching, we recognize that we have a heart for service and that we have the talents and resources to help.

Some of us are built for leadership and managing. We see opportunities where others see roadblocks. We can help guide our community, co-workers, or family and friends as we come to-

gether to create a game plan that will allow us to serve collectively for the greater good.

Being the owner means taking ownership. Ultimately the buck stops here.

We own the problem and that means we own the solution. In this life, we can either hold ourselves responsible and accountable as owners, or we can pass the blame. Eventually, a lack of ownership leads to failure.

The hardest role is that of being the official. This means we stay current with the game and the changes to any rules. We have the difficult task of letting others know when they have crossed the line. We assess the penalties. And when we miss something in our role as official, everyone turns on us, the fans, players, coaches, and owners.

Are you watching or are you on the field and in the game? Are you leading others in a constructive manner to be a part of the solution? Have you taken ownership of what you can control?

Are you helping to mediate and be a peacemaker, brave enough to call the penalties as you see them? I would love to hear your story at mnorton@ tramazing.com and when we realize that we all do play some role in an ever-changing game, it really will be a better than good year.

Michael Norton is the grateful CEO of Tramazing.com, a personal and professional coach, and a consultant, trainer, encourager and motivator to businesses of all sizes.

Finally, Thornton General Fund money ($150,000) was used for Thornton Assistance Funds (TAF).

A portion of these funds were directed to homeless initiatives.

Organizations including ACCESS Housing, Colorado Coalition for the Homeless, Growing Home, Shiloh Home, Urban Peak Denver and Cold Weather Care received funds totaling $29,500. Funds were used to deliver services to youth experiencing homelessness including crisis intervention, transportation, food pantry, family support and more.

Northglenn partnered with community groups The City of Northglenn’s focus was the strategic use of federal money via the CARES Act. An approximate $500,000 was disbursed to various local charities that provide a variety of services to Persons Experiencing Homelessness (PEH). They included Adams County Emergency Food Bank ($5,000), Cold Weather Care ($11,250), Food for Hope ($10,000) and Growing Home ($10,000).

Also, a portion of the funding for the listed recipient organizations was used for PEH: Clinica Family Health ($75,000), Five Star Education Foundation ($110,885), Northglenn Community Foundation ($52,590) and Immaculate Heart

Power refers to the few in society that yield and benefit from imbalanced dynamics and structures that support our politics, law, and culture. Those with power create differentiation via gender, skin color, income, age, body shape, geography, language, sexuality, formal education and more. So, remember that we are all at different points in the journey towards equity. We must allow the space and grace for all of us to grow.

Summary of Westminster’s service to homelessness CARES Act funding totaling $1,390,000 was used in Westminster for rent/mortgage assistance, legal services for eviction prevention, food insecurity, PPE, hotel vouchers and other minor expenditures.

A total of $100,000 of CARES funds were assigned to the City’s Human Services Board to disburse to agencies that deliver direct services to PEH individuals or to those at risk of homelessness. This disbursement occurred in 2021.

The other prominent federal funding source was Housing and Urban Development (HUD) which provided tenant-based rental assistance ($189,000), and emergency and essential home repairs ($130,000). From a housing perspective, $244,000 was allocated from Community Development Block Grant funding for costs relating to new affordable housing sites and $444,000 for the preservation of existing affordable housing stock.

On a related note, the city assigned $6 million of its Private Activity Bond Allocation to Colorado Housing Finance Authority (CHFA) to support affordable multi-family development and homebuyer assistance for incomequalified applicants. Finally, from the city’s General Fund, the Human Services Board disbursed $130,000 to non-profit organizations which provide an array of human services to people in need including PEH individuals.

say in his recent reply to Bill Christopher’s question about the recall (‘Could the recall have been avoided?’ Window, Aug. 19, pp.

12-13). Bruce appears to think he has been cheated by having to pay higher rates for higher use – what he calls ‘outrageous block-tier’ pricing. More, ever the conspiracy theorist, he sees in the progressive rate structure a nefarious plot to bring more people into Westminster by fooling others into ‘voluntarily’ using less water, which in his view, ‘free[s] up water for new apartments.’

So I guess there’s a fixed amount of water and Bruce wants it all for himself and his friends below cost in order to allow everyone expansive lawns which he calls ‘green landscapes.’ But actually, tiered pricing creates price signals under conditions of scarcity such as desert climate and drought.

Next, Bruce implies it’s corrupt to make money building housing for all those the council is nefariously freeing up water for. Yes, Bruce, people develop property to make money.

So no, it’s still the same Baker.

Candidate Baker, whatever his voter registration, should never get anywhere the city Council chamber as Councillor. Please remember that in your vote this November.

Walk the talk Where does sustainability and resource management collide with a continuing steady pace of authorizing new construction in our Colorado cities, counties and water districts? Those elected officials and candidates for local government seats who espouse concern for the environment, protecting our “quality of life” and “following science” need to pause and re-think approving one apartment complex after another. It simply does not reconcile. It “won’t sell in Peoria” as the saying goes, but you can add Aurora, Thornton, Arvada, Greeley, Fort Collins, Westminster and a lot more fast-growing municipalities.

And let’s not forget the county commissioners. While they don’t have the same legislative tools as municipalities, they too should be cognizant of their actions versus their words. You can’t have it both ways. The public is smarter than you think. With the drought in Colorado, more and more people are waking up to the growing scarcity of water while trying to reconcile why another 250 apartment unit development is springing up a few blocks from their single-family neighborhood.

They also are hearing about more ways to conserve existing water resources. Some ideas are hitting

close to home and the grumbling is growing. I, for one, do not intend to dig up a single square foot of our sod to allow more apartments to be built.

Adco Commissioners opt-out of mask order Last week on a 3-2 vote, the Adams County Commissioners decided to opt-out of Tri-County Health Department’s mask order requirement for children ages 2-11. This was a bad call by Commissioners Henry, Tedesco and Baca (O’Dorisio and Pinter voted no).

Elected officials are not public health experts and should leave the “politics” out of such decisions.

Plus, you threw the school districts under the bus. Wearing masks make a difference in protection from the virus. The bulk of this age group is in school and needs the extra protection. Putting this decision on each school district is inappropriate given Tri-County’s expertise and earlier mask order.

Let’s don’t have Adams County become the “Douglas County of the north.”

TURNING TURNING Book clubs provide outlet for socializing, learning, growing “Now I’m thrilled with six.”

BY DEB HURLEY BROBST DBROBST@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

F

ive women gathered in the Evergreen Library community room recently to discuss why, in this case, they didn’t like the book of the month.

No one had much to say that was favorable about the book, “Tangerine: A Novel” by Christine Mangan, and they noted that was rare.

Usually, they have mixed reactions to the plot, character development, scene-setting, writing and more, and the diverse views make for better discussion.

The women are part of the Second Chance Book Group at Evergreen Library, one of the hundreds of book clubs in the metro area and throughout the country. Libraries, bookstores and anyone who wants to organize a group can get into the book club spirit.

Whatever the reason, book clubs for all ages have become popular — both in-person and via video conferencing. Book lovers are thrilled that reading is fashionable, though they note that in-person book clubs are just restarting after being halted thanks to the pandemic.

“We used to have 12 to 14 people in a book group before the pandemic,” Pam Bestall, who leads the Evergreen Library’s book groups, said.

Community, expanding horizons According to Cindy Jaye, programming manager for Jefferson County Public Library, book clubs create community and expand people’s reading horizons.

“Oftentimes, it’s a great way to get to know people in your neighborhood,” Jaye said, “and we all need community.”

Arra Katona, JCPL’s teen services coordinator, agreed. “(Book clubs) foster community for people with common interests,” she said. “They develop a way to deal with conflict because they have differing opinions (about the book).

They learn to resolve those differences and how to keep connections with those who share or don’t share their perspective.”

Facilitators and librarians agree that book clubs can expand the types of books people will read.

“In book clubs, you get to read something you might not normally read,” Jaye said. “It’s a way to learn new things and provides you with an excuse to read something out of your comfort zone. It’s good for you and fun, and it keeps brains active.”

Bestall says her book club members help choose the books they want to read throughout the year, mixing fiction, nonfiction, biogra-

phy and sometimes young adult fiction.

Better world Reading books critically is so important, Jaye said.

“The more readers we have in the world, the better the world is.” she explained.

Kerri Morgan, the special events manager for Douglas County Libraries, oversees the Great Books program, a book club that can be found in many libraries nationwide.

The program has adults reading the classics and discussing them — something they likely haven’t done since they were in school.

“There’s not really a format or outlet for adults to do that once SEE BOOK CLUB, P13

A family story ‘Before You Go’ COMING ATTRACTIONS

amilies are not always easy, even under the best of circumstances.

So, when a family of three adult siblings gathers at the home of their dying mother, it’s a safe bet it will be a fraught situation. But that doesn’t mean there’s no room for tenderness and love.

That’s the story John Ashton tells in “Before You Go,” which is currently making its world premiere at Miners Alley Playhouse. The story is a personal one, drawn from his own experiences.

“It’s a raucous adult family comedy drama that is exhilarating, joyous and sometimes frightening,” he said. “The show deals with serious issues, heartfelt issues, but it’s also very funny.”

The show runs at Miners, 1224 Washington Ave. in Golden, through Sunday, Sept.

19. Performances are at 7:30 p.m. on Friday and Saturday and 2 p.m. on Sunday. In accordance with CDC guidelines, the theater is requiring masks at all performances for both vaccinated and unvaccinated. All actors, crew and staff at Miners have been vaccinated.

The show’s cast includes Billie McBride, Eric Mather, Missy Moore, Mark Collins and Damon Guerassio, and has been in the works since before the COVID-19 pandemic. It wasn’t until Len Matheo, Miners Alley’s artistic and executive director, started putting together a new season that the show started on the road to coming to life.

“We didn’t know what the landscape was going to look like, and we wanted to put our focus on local writers,” Matheo explained.

“John is kind of a legend around here because he’s such a renaissance man. This show was lovely right out of the box.”

Bringing his words to life is an emotionally challenging process for Ashton, but he said working with actors of such high quality makes the job infinitely easier. It’s a collaborative effort for all involved, and by working together they’re finding nuances in the characters and stories that add depth to the story, Ashton said.

“We are all searching for forgiveness and acceptance. It’s good to know it’s out there somewhere and begins with yourself and

being nice to each other,” he said. “I’m looking forward to the totality of the experience - the way the actors respond to the aliveness of an audience. And, I’m dying to see what audience reaction is.”

While the show has been coming together nicely, according to both Ashton and Matheo, it isn’t until live, in-person audiences arrive that it truly comes to life.

“The art of theater is a communal event with an audience, So I’m most excited to see John’s beautiful work come to life,” Matheo said. “We’ve been working hard to keep artists employed, and so this is another step to getting all the way back normal.”

you get out of an academic setting,” Morgan said. “Great Books is replicating an academic setting, but it’s less formal.”

Morgan explained that if she’s reading a book for pleasure, she reads quickly without retaining much. Reading for a book club is different.

“With book clubs, you’re reading for retention, you read slower and more closely,” she said. “(Book clubs) change how people interact with literature. It changes how you reflect on those pieces of literature because you’re being forced to read a little more deeply.”

Getting started Book clubs come in all shapes and sizes, so to speak, from superacademic to one genre to one author and more. Most libraries offer at least one book club, plus there are book clubs organized by neighborhoods or by friends.

Morgan, for example, belongs to a book club in which members go for a run, and to slow the pace, they discuss a book along the way.

She also belongs to a Zoom book club and another that has been meeting for 10 years.

It’s a matter of deciding the kind of club you want to join and the types of books you want to read.

Area libraries provide book-club descriptions, and most meet monthly.

For those wanting to start a book club, many libraries offer bookclub kits with copies of the book and discussion guides — a “super easy way to organize a book club,” Jaye said. Jefferson County Public Library, for example, has bookclub kits for 325 books.

Jaye advised people wanting to start book clubs to make decisions on what kind of club they want to start, and then everything becomes easier. She also suggested selecting books that have something “discussion-worthy” about them.

Morgan suggested finding book club members with different life experiences because they bring

“Choose folks who will be comfortable sharing feeling and ideas,” Morgan said. “Sometimes it takes time to build that level of comfort to build those deep discussions.”

Different perspectives At the Second Chance Book Club in Evergreen, Bestall, who has been facilitating book clubs for four years, said she sees more women than men getting involved. While most of the participants are older, everyone is

welcome, noting that younger participants bring a different perspective.

As they were discussing “Tangerine,” they decided it was a quick read, though it might make a better movie. They said it was a mystery to them why the book was classified as a mystery.

They brought their own anecdotes to the discussion, relating personally to parts of the plot.

“What I like about the library book club,” said Joyce Jefson of Evergreen, “is you get so many different perspectives. I have changed my opinion after hearing other perspectives.”

Bestall said as a facilitator, she was not deterred by conflict.

“Sometimes you leave book club without agreeing with other people, but you understand their point of view,” she said.

Jefson added: “If you don’t read people who disagree with you, how do you understand other points of view?”

The body positive movement — which promotes acceptance of all bodies of any size, weight or appearance — is gaining momentum in Colorado as plus-size women and men build confidence and take on challenges.

The Aug. 5 screening of the awardwinning documentary “Kili Big” in the Spring Valley Ranch community of Elbert County, an event promoted on social media, offered a look at one Colorado woman’s experience hiking 19,341-foot Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania and her journey to defy societal odds of what big bodies can achieve.

Kara Hardman of Littleton, a 30-year-old woman who identifies as plus-size and fat, climbed Kilimanjaro with 19 other plus-size, fatidentifying, or nonbinary people in 2019 with the organizations WHOA and Trek 2 Kili. The hikers call themselves the “Curvy Kili Crew,” a group of mostly strangers who came together from across the globe to conquer Kilimanjaro, considered to be the highest single free-standing mountain in the world.

Throughout the six-day trek, Hardman and the Curvy Kili Crew hiked more than 45 miles in roughly 40 hours, proving that people in larger bodies can achieve great feats.

At the film screening, Hardman emotionally shared her story with those in attendance, explaining in detail her journey up the mountain, including her triumphs, struggles, and the community she built along the way. The majority of those present were members of Denver’s bodypositive fat community, “Denver Fatties.”

Hardman sat among the small group, teary-eyed with tissues in hand as she relived her hike up Mount Kilimanjaro. She provided insider commentary along with the documentary, describing the scenery, her fellow plus-size hikers, and the exciting milestones she hit along the hike.

Each time she would see herself on screen, Hardman would gleefully shout out: “That’s me!”

Hardman explained different facets of her trip in a Q&A interview with Colorado Community Media.

What was your experience like as a plus-size person hiking one of the world’s tallest mountains?

“It felt powerful and like not a single person could mess with us because we had the power of 19 other fat people standing behind us.”

Did you have any struggles on your hike?

“I got a food/waterborne illness, so that was difficult to deal with.

It was also very hard mentally to breathe at elevation and continue walking hours on end.”

How would you describe the communitybuilding or bonding you did with others on the hike?

“There was not much time to get to know people before having to be completely vulnerable with them during this new physical and emotional experience. We bonded quickly and I especially bonded with my tent mate. She will be my friend forever because of what we went through together.”

What advice do you have for plus-size or fat-identifying people who are nervous to get outside and explore joyful movement?

“Find a current or new friend who is fat and go with them! Fat joy in nature is the best!”

Hardman said she has always been passionate about the outdoors, even prior to her experience hiking Mount Kilimanjaro. In 2018, she and co-founder Arwen Turner created a company called WNDR Outdoors that “strives to increase representation of larger-bodied folks outdoors by creating technical outdoor apparel in extended sizes and by providing size inclusive events.”

The “Kili Big” documentary recently won Best Jury Documentary at the Bentonville Film Festival, an annual diversity-focused event in Arkansas. The film will also be shown at the Chagrin Documentary Film Festival in Chagrin Falls, Ohio.

Brighton warehouse begins testing driverless trucks Autonomous trucks improves efficiency and safety in yards

BY BELEN WARD BWARD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Brighton is getting a glimpse of the future as a Colorado company begins testing a warehouse relying on driverless trucks.

“The future distribution yard will be autonomous and electric,” said Andrew Smith, Founder, and CEO of Outrider. “Autonomy helps increase the efficiency and improve the safety of the distribution yard.

And, when we standardize that autonomous system on an electric yard truck, we help make the movement of freight more sustainable. Outrider’s mission is to drive the rapid adoption of sustainable freight transportation.”

Golden-based tech firm Outrider opened its first testing facility site in Brighton on August 24, using self-driving trucks driven in a distribution yard with technology to move and park semi-trailers into loading docks to distribute freight and cargo. The facility, located at 22600 E. I-76 Frontage Road in Brighton, will be used both to assemble and test the self-driving vehicles.

The facility is a 200,000 square foot distribution yard build with 49 dock doors that will be operational 16-hours a day, five days a week.

It will be expanding operations to 24-hours a day in 2022.

Going inside The autonomous trucks are assembled by the team with the autonomy equipment inside the Brighton location. Outrider begins with standard electric trucks from the original manufacturer.

“We outfit them and convert them to an autonomous vehicle. So, it takes a lot of sensors and cameras and then we tie it all together with software that makes the vehicle autonomous,” Londonne Corder, Vice President of Marketing.

Not only are the trucks autonomous, but they are also electric, Smith said, which will help reduce pollution. Each year in the US, diesel yard trucks emit 3.8 million metric tons of carbon dioxide, the equivalent of one coal-fired power plant, he added.

It can take up to three hours to charge each truck sufficiently using fast-charging equipment but Corder said the company is still collecting data on the length of a full charge.

“We made the conscious decision that we were going to standardize an electric fleet. Because we believe in the adoption of sustainable technologies,” said Corder.

Zackary Moss is an Autonomous test technician at Outrider for about a year in a half and had experience driving a truck for 10-years before he went back to school. He is a grad student studying for a master’s degree in aeronautics and is a parttime engineering student. His job is to test the self-driving trucks and report back to the developers.

The Outrider autonomous truck hooked on to a chassis and backed into a dock.

“It’s actually how I got the job, they liked my background, and also the 10 years of trucking experience is what got me in the door,” said Moss. “Working with commercial vehicles that weigh 80,000 pounds, it’s good to have a background in it.”

Moss, said when a driver brings in the semi there is a lot involved with moving a trailer around a yard, and other trucks. They deal with blind spots in the dark, sometimes running into gates especially if they are not familiar with the area.

“Trucking is necessary and is the top 10 most dangerous jobs in America. I don’t know if that accounts for distribution yards, or over the road or a combination,” said Moss.

“This is an efficient system with a computer system that communicates with each other between docks and parking spots with one person dispatching it inside a safe, warm building or a cool building. It is ideal, and it’s working,” he added.

The automation process Over the road drivers will bring in the semi-trucks with a load or an empty trailer to a warehouse distribution yard. Drivers will park their trailers in a designated spot, then drive away.

Next, the autonomous truck moves in. It will be controlled by a computer software called “mission control” and monitored by an employee in the warehouse. The selfdriving truck hooks to the trailer and moves it from the parking spot to the loading dock. Each self-driving truck has an arm that safely connects and disconnects trailer brake lines without human help.

“In today’s Distribution Yard unhooking a truck is a highly repetitive task done oftentimes inhospitable conditions. So you can imagine being outside on a day like this, having to get in and out of the truck multiple times hooking up the trailer and brake lines multiple times all day. It’s dangerous, “ said Corder.

Truck drivers say there is a lot of waiting around, she said – sometimes more than 45 minutes at each stop.

Zackary Moss an autonomous test technician is testing a self-driving truck in the yard on the computer.

“They get paid when they’re on the road and the longer they wait, they are not getting paid. We want to get those drivers back on the highways and getting freight where it needs to go,” said Corder.

Corder said that for many of their Fortune 500 customers claim that driver safety is one of their main concerns. They want to keep their employees safe and get them working in better conditions and efficiency.

Inside its warehouse, each dock has a safety system that tells the autonomous computer and truck when it’s safe to pull away or open the door. Once the trailer is fully aligned with the dock, it turns on a green signal like a traffic light. Once it’s been emptied, it sends out an alert that the door is closed on the trailer and it can pull away.

Safety is a priory focusing on autonomous systems, the safety of the workforce, and customers on-site.

They also are testing an obstacle detection and avoidance system using a mannequin named Roy Zinger. It is used to demonstrate to visitors that the autonomous truck can detect obstacles within certain distances quickly.

“Other companies in distribution yards are not the thinking about

its entire system of the yard operations. They just focus on the truck.

We focus on the entire operations such as the autonomous system talking to the dock area and how it works with other trucks in the yard.

We have to take it into considerations,” said Corder.

Outrider tests different types of trailers to build a system that can be universal.

The test and field teams come from diverse backgrounds, with some having experience driving a semitruck or managing a distribution yard. That is so they have real-world experience with today’s operations of yards, Corder said. People who are in the consultancy group have experience in supply change.

“We are fully operational right now we have trucks going out to different customers already. We have nine enterprise customers, and they’re at various stages of evaluating the technology, trying the technology, and in some places deploying the technologies,” said Corder.

“We feel like we’re making a difference for people and getting them out of dangerous jobs and helping to address the environmental challenges with transportation and logistics spaces.”

Ask a Therapist: Building connections at home Finding ways to stay happy despite closings, financial restraints

D

ear Ask a Therapist “Especially with the pandemic, my kids and I have been spending a lot of time together and getting on each other’s GUEST nerves, which is COLUMN causing more arguments and making it feel harder to connect. It has also been difficult to find activities to do, either because of COVID limitations or financial resources. What are Samantha Wilson some ways I can connect with my kids that we can do at home safely and cost-free?”

The COVID-19 pandemic brought about many challenges and stressors, and it makes sense that it has had an impact on the parent-child relationship. The hope is that parents and caregivers can find some grace towards themselves and their family members in knowing that

they are not alone in navigating new trials that have come with the pandemic.

In difficult times, connection can be a source of strength and light when the surrounding world can feel chaotic and dark. COVID-19 has definitely impacted the possibilities for going out and doing fun things that families enjoy together. Finding safe and available options can be limited, and anxieties may be heightened. Additionally, there can be activities that come with expenses that may not be affordable and may add further stress.

Opportunities With the increased time at home, there can be opportunities to build connection with your kids in ways that do not require leaving or spending money. Here are some ideas to try: 1) Validate your children’s emotions. Verbally noticing what your children are feeling helps them to feel seen and heard. When you can acknowledge how they feel, that can increase emotional connection and potentially open up the opportunity to have more conversations about emotions. Next time your child is starting to complain about homework, try saying something like “It

is frustrating when you have to do homework instead of playing video games.”

2) Be playful when doing daily tasks. When time allows, try adding in play when completing the day-today duties. Have a dance party while cooking dinner, make silly noises back and forth during clean-up, or walk like a robot to the door when leaving for school. Being playful together builds connection and also makes mundane chores feel more enjoyable.

3) Notice positives. Recognizing positive moments can be helpful in propelling families through the difficult times. Thank your child for completing something you asked, acknowledge when you hear them say kind words to siblings or peers, or tell about a happy memory you have with them. This can provide the opportunity for connection through sharing in appreciation for each other or times together.

4) Engage in something your child enjoys. Your children may not always have the same hobbies you do, but showing an interest in their pastimes can increase connection.

Try to carve out some time together where they get to pick what you all do or be curious in learning more about their activities. Ask about

their favorite characters in the TV show they are watching or kick the soccer ball in the backyard. Connection can come when kids feel that their caregivers want to understand what they like to do.

Being realistic With all that life and parenting can bring, it is unrealistic to say that parents and caregivers can do these things perfectly every time. COVID-19 has created a lot of barriers; however, having awareness that building connection with your child is a goal and fitting in opportunities when they arise are helpful steps in reducing arguments and tension in the home and increasing positive moments within the family.

WorldDenver connects Colorado to the world New program will bring local and Middle Eastern and North African youth together through virtual exchange

BY CHRISTY STEADMAN CSTEADMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

In the past decade or so, Cheesman Park resident Laurie Hirschfeld Zeller has hosted members of Parliament from the United Kingdom, university presidents from Yemen, journalists from various African countries and women leaders from all over the world.

“These are the most interesting and rewarding interactions you can imagine,” Laurie Hirschfeld Zeller said.

Sometimes these international guests stay in Laurie Hirschfeld Zeller’s home for about a week and sometimes they come just for dinner.

“Breaking bread in one’s home is universally meaningful to all cultures,” Laurie Hirschfeld Zeller said. “These opportunities have allowed me to show a personal side to the good experience these visitors have in Colorado, and helps them feel the goodwill that they take back to their home countries.”

Laurie Hirschfeld Zeller is a founding member of WorldDenver and an Emeritus Board Member.

The international visitors she has hosted are people chosen to participate in the International Visitors’ Leadership Program, which is sponsored by the State Department.

“Denver has so much to share with the world,” said John Krieger, executive director of WorldDenver, “and we make those connections.”

WorldDenver is a membershipbased nonprofit organization that connects Denver — and Colorado — to the world through international exchange, education, and personal interaction with international leaders, professionals and students, states its website.

“It matters that we feel connected to the greater world, here in landlocked Denver,” Laurie Hirschfeld Zeller said. “WorldDenver is a community of members that supports the great programs and visiting delegations that help us understand the perspectives of our fellow humans — and helps those other humans understand us.”

WorldDenver is perhaps most known for facilitating the International Visitors’ Leadership Program, being Denver’s World Affairs Counsel. But, WorldDenver also has a Young Professional membership puts on a variety of other programming, such as an annual International Women’s Day event.

“The biggest issues we face are borderless. They’ve got to be solved with global cooperation,” Krieger said. “Members come to WorldDenver to get that global connection.”

WorldDenver put on some virtual programming during the COVID-19 pandemic shutdowns, but also turned attention to incorporating more educational programs for youth — something that had been on a priority list for quite some time, Krieger said.

The organization started to put together a plan to connect U.S. students ages 14-17 with students of the same age in the Middle East and North Africa — Iraq and Morocco, specifically.

Called the World Affairs Challenge Virtual Exchange, the new program is being implemented by WorldDenver, and supported by the Stevens Initiative. The Stevens Initiative, which is sponsored by the U.S. Department of State, “is an international effort to build global competence and career readiness skills for young people in the United States and the Middle East and North Africa by growing and enhancing the field of virtual exchange,” states a news release.

WorldDenver is one of 19 grantees to be named a 2021 Stevens Initiative grantee.

What the youth will do in the program is work in bi-national teams to identify a challenge in their com-

munity that is related to the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

They will work together to create a solution, and the program will culminate with the students presenting their challenge and solution plan in video format. Winners of the competition will get to implement their plan.

The youth will develop relationships and lifelong friendships with their peers abroad, while also building empathy, developing leadership skills and learning about new topics.

“When young people can turn their ideas into real action, especially while working cross-culturally, it is immensely powerful and transformative,” Krieger said in a news release, “setting them on a path toward meaningful global citizenship and community involvement.”

Kelly Jones-Wagy is one of the local World Affairs Challenge Virtual Exchange facilitators/mentors.

“Students generally have incredible ideas,” Jones-Wagy said. “As a facilitator, my goal is just to help them to focus those ideas as they work with their counterparts through the virtual exchange.”

Jones-Wagy said she hopes the students learn from each other.

“Not just about their project, but also about all of the things that they have in common,” Jones-Wagy said. “The more time we all spend getting to know people, the more we will be able to respect and care for others.”

Stargate takes five-set thriller from Fort Lupton

BY STEVE SMITH SSMITH@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

FORT LUPTON – It was the sort of match that deserved to go five sets.

And that’s exactly what Fort Lupton High School and Stargate School did Aug. 26 in the Bluedevils’ gym.

The Eagles won 25-23, 20-25, 28-26, 23-25, 18-16. Leads of bigger than five points in any set were a rarity.

Stargate’s Stephanie Millmore, a left-hander who did most of her damage from the right outside hitting position, led the Eagles with 17 kills. Valeria Enriquez was next with 10. Maddie Lamar compiled 31 assists. No stats were immediately available for the Bluedevils.

“We had a rocky start with all the service errors,” said Eagles’ coach Andrew Hinde. “The growth was huge tonight. Their attitudes showed. We’d lose five or six points in a row. They pushed each other.

We reset ourselves. They came back and did it. It was amazing to watch.”

The Eagles scored the last five SEE VOLLEYBALL, P31

Fort Lupton’s Neveah Gonzales keeps her eyes on the ball as she prepares to set the ball to a teammate Aug. 26 against Stargate School.

Stargate’s Stephanie Millmore prepares to smack one over the net against the defense of Fort Lupton’s Jessica Davila Cortes, Emiko Ohkawa (15) and Neveah Gonzales (8) during a non-conference match in Fort Lupton Aug. 26. The Eagles won in five sets.

points to win the opening set. Fort Lupton scored the last eight points to win the second set. Alie Lewis served up an ace to close out the third set.

The Bluedevils scored the last five points to take the fourth set.

Millmore’s four kills propelled the Eagles to a four-point lead in the final set. FLHS rebounded with an ace from Trish Hammen and some unforced errors to force a 14-all tie.

Stargate won the match on its fifth try, thanks to a Fort Lupton hitting miscue.

“It’s the way,” Hinde said. “It’s the process. If the process is there, the outcome will follow.”

The Eagles field a team of five seniors. One of the Eagles’ middle hitters, Emma Herbolshiemer, is a freshman. She had seven kills

against the Bluedevils to go, with five aces.

“We have some veterans and a lot of talented youth coming up,” Hinde said. “I love it. I’ve got my veterans to show the young ones how to do it.

They are good at playing volleyball, but they don’t understand the culture. So they are coaching them.”

FLHS is 0-2 to start the year.

“That was fun on both sides,” said FLHS coach Cindy Seiler. “We had a tough night the other night (a threeset loss against Strasburg). But they came back and regrouped. They played with grit. We’ve been changing a lot of things this year. The players on the court wanted it more.

They were controlling their side, and there weren’t as many nerves.”

“We need to be mentally tough,” Hinde said. “When we make an error, they get down on themselves.

Last season, we would have lost this game. They pushed each other and believed in each other. The growth was huge for us.”

Fort Lupton’s Rylea Sarazen sets the ball for a teammate during her team’s match PHOTOS BY STEVE SMITH against Stargate School Aug. 26 in Fort Lupton.
