Doctors speculate on what flu season will look like

Omicron hinders data-gathering process for influenza

BY THELMA GRIMES TGRIMES@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

With talk of COVID around the clock, winter is still a time for other illness and viruses, including influenza, which has reemerged this year after being nearly non-existent in 2020-2021.

Doctors across the Front Range said hospitals and clinics started seeing the flu pop up in October and November. Flu season generally lasts through mid-April, leaving doctors along the Denver metro area to say they are not quite sure what to expect as flu season moves into full swing.

At Children’s Hospital Colorado, Dr. Suchitra Rao, a pediatric infectious disease specialist, said they started treating young patients with the flu dating back to October. Rao said the number of cases doctors are seeing at various Children’s Hospital clinics in Douglas, Jefferson and Arapahoe counties are on par with what the levels used to be prepandemic.

As of Jan. 27, Rao said Children’s Hospital has had 400 confirmed influenza cases, with 100 of them needing hospitalization.

Eastlake Grain elevator project lacks information

BY LUKE ZARZECKI LZARZECKI@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A Thornton plan to develop the area around the Eastlake Grain Elevator and RTD’s N-Line station is raising some City Council eyebrows, with questions about the property’s actual value and development costs.

Julie Jacoby, a member of the city’s Economic Development team, presented incomplete numbers to councilors at their Jan. 18 planning session meeting about the cost of the proposed Eastlake Grain Elevator project, according to Councilor Kathy Henson. Jacoby also left out important details, Henson said.

“I need more information and I think there needs to be factual improvement in our information sharing so that we can make the Thornton’s Eastlake Grain elevator.

Westminster council urges agencies against mask mandates Rights, children and inconclusive data as reasons for the vote

BY LUKE ZARZECKI LZARZECKI@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Westminster City Council voted 5-2 to “urge public health agencies to support the rights of individuals and businesses to be free to choose how to protect themselves from COVID-19” on Jan. 25.

Councilors Obi Ezeadi and Sarah Nurmela stood opposed, both for different reasons.

Councilor Rich Seymour introduced the resolution, citing statistics comparing counties with and without mask mandates, and showing covid cases continued to go up, with or without a mask mandate in place.

“We have an incubator, we have the data, we have facts,” he said.

Councilors Baker, Nurmela and Ezeadi, and city staff were the only folks on the dias wearing masks throughout the meeting. Mayor McNally flip flopped.

The move comes after the Center for Disease Control recently clarified on Jan. 14 that cloth masks do not offer as good of protection as N95 masks. Colorado’s COVID cases remain higher than they have ever been, despite the mask requirements.

The CDC’s website also says that the “Omicron variant likely will spread more easily than the original

Sarah Nurmela

SARS-CoV-2 virus and how easily Omicron spreads compared to Delta remains unknown.” It’s also not known if the new variant causes more severe illness.

“More data are needed to know if Omicron infections, and especially reinfections and breakthrough infections in people who are fully vaccinated, cause more severe illness or death than infection with other variants,” says the website.

The Right to Choose “The amount of personal liberty we’ve seen taken from individuals in the last two years, frankly to me, is appalling,” said Mayor Pro Tem DeMott, and then went on to quote Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. about

freedom.

He thinks elected officials should make decisions on matters like mandates, not public health officials.

“The bureaucrats in the health departments are supposed to work for the elected officials,” he said.

Councilor Ezeadi believes in the right to choose, but values public health over the temporary mandate.

“I’m all for individual rights, but I’m moreso for the collective public health,” he said.

He also pushed back on Councilor Seymour’s sentiment that masks do not work.

“Masks do work, vaccines do work, they have prevented deaths, countless deaths,” Ezeadi said. “This new strain of covid is extremely contagious.”

Dr. Albanese said that throughout the pandemic, certain measures have been taken and altered to step up to the current moment they were in.

As the science evolves, public health departments make changes.

“We’ve made adjustments as we’ve gone along,” she said.

For Councilor Nurmela, it’s a matter of rights.

“I suppose I’d rather be dead than not have access to my fundamental rights,” said Nurmela.

She thinks that this can implement future governmental actions.

“We need to hold on to our capacity to make decisions for ourselves, whether that’s abortion or whether

that’s getting a shot.” she said. “The precedent we set now as a government in the United States is that we are letting our rights be diminished by the need for what science tells us right now, what are they going to tell us tomorrow?”

Nurmela said she did not support the resolution because she thinks businesses should not tell people how to live their lives.

A Layered Effort Dr. Bernadatte Albanese, medical epidemiologist of Tri County Health, said the logic to compare different county’s cases solely on a mask mandate is a very flawed argument. Albanese spoke to Colorado Community Media after the Westminster meeting.

“There is no way you can do a study to say `let’s hold these 15 things constant and just change one thing and then measure its absolute effect,’” she said. “There’s not a study in the universe, in the galaxy of the world, that can measure that type of effect. That’s not how it works in a pandemic.”

Albanese said that masking is only one part of the fight against Covid.

“The folks who say `prove to me that masking all by itself works to control a pandemic’ don’t understand the pandemic, maybe they don’t appreciate the totality of the measures that were necessary to control (the pandemic.)”

She points to other efforts like washing hands, social distancing, quarantine, increased ventilation, outdoor events, contact tracing, testing and many others.

“Everything that we have been trying to do and recommend to control, curb, slow down the spread of COVID is based on layered mitigation measures,” she said.

DA Mason talks shop at Commerce City coffee house

BY STEVE SMITH SSMITH@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Brian Mason, the district attorney for the 17th Judicial District, stopped by the Reunion Coffee House for a “Coffee with the DA” program Jan. 25.

He drank tea instead.

Mason talked about the role of his office, how the criminal justice system works and some of the factors – legal and otherwise – that go into decisions to try cases in court.

‘We don’t have the resources to try 60,000 cases in court, nor do we have the juries,” Mason said. “A large part of the job is training the staff to do the right thing and things that we should do to resolve cases.

What is the suspect’s criminal history? What are the wishes of the victim? Some have been involved in crime for years.

Some were desperate to feed their families and made one mistake.”

The DA’s restorative justice program – mainly for lower levels of crime, such as property damage, possession of drugs -- is more than 40 years old.

“It’s not possible for all criminals,” he said. “But we want them to succeed. It’s an outstanding program. It has to be a priority for the district attorney. It is for me.”

A resident told Mason

about a number of late-night/ early morning vehicle window smashes near the coffee house.

A number of the cars were not locked; some were, and the suspects smashed windows, reached inside and took what they could. The resident, who has a certain amount of security equipment, asked about confrontations in situations such as this. Mason said that wasn’t a good idea.

“There is one case, which has been publicly reported and I can’t go into a lot of details.

But someone shot a person who was breaking into cars and killed them,” Mason said. “The belongings in your car aren’t as important as your life.”

Mason offered alternatives.

“Get as many details as you can – a license plate, a description of the car, a description of the folks who were there. Were they tall, heavy? Any other defining features,” he said.

Mason told a resident he works with the various police and sheriff’s departments in both Adams and Broomfield counties. But he does not oversee them.

“The chief is appointed by the city manager. We collaborate with them, but they don’t work for me,” he said. “When you call 9-1-1, the DA doesn’t respond. The police do. The job is to keep the community safe.

That’s how I lead the office.”

best decisions for the people,” she said.

According to Jacoby, the area needs water, drainage, sewer and other infrastructure that would total almost $2 million before the development starts, although she admits that estimate isn’t imprecise. The estimate is based on 2019 values, she said, and there has been a 40 percent increase in construction costs since that number was calculated.

Jacoby said the Carlsons, the developers of the proposed project, asked for the city to pay for the infrastructure and to waive fees. That means the developers would receive both the infrastructure and the land for free.

Councilors Karen Bigelow said Jacoby failed to mention that the city bought the land from Lee Carlson in December 2001 for $570,200. Based on the federal Bureau of Labor Statistics CPI Inflation Calculator, that number in today’s dollars is almost $900,000.

Jacoby said she thought it was not relevant.

“I didn’t feel like it mattered because it didn’t go into our decision on who chose this developer,” she said.

Henson disagrees.

“I think that that is a very gross misstatement. I don’t know how it couldn’t be relevant to the issue,” she said.

Henson, who would like to see a development there and thinks it would be beneficial, said she needs more

from the city.

Free Land According to Jacoby, all three developers who submitted a proposal said that buying the land, building the infrastructure and renovating the buildings did not make the project worth the money, so they requested the city to pay for the infrastructure and to be given the land.

“You have to make business sense out of the development like this,” Jacoby said. “It’s an incredibly expensive development. It requires a lot of work and a lot of very fine attention when you’re doing a historical project like this.”

However, Jacoby said the city does not know why developers say that it would not be worth it to them. The city did not ask developers in the proposal request why they could not afford to do the project without city help, Jacoby said.

She said she expects approximately $2 million in tax revenue over five to seven years from the project.

Henson said the development will be a very valuable asset to anyone who buys it. It is right off the Eastlake and 124th RTD station.

“Transit-oriented developments are always highly valuable developments in any city,” she said.

Councilor Karen Bigelow said that she has nothing against the Carlsons, but knows they are a busy developer in Thornton.

“The Carlson’s are a very large developer in our city. I know that they are not hurting. Let’s put it that way,” Bigelow said.

Wrong Numbers Jacoby also defended using out-

of-date cost forecasts for the infrastructure work around the site. The estimated cost of $2 million for that work is based on 2019 conditions.

The final cost could increase by as much as $800,000, which is 40 percent, and maybe more.

Jacoby said she was comfortable using that dated cost forecast because the Jan. 18 discussion was “simply a refresher” since the project has been tabled for two years due to COVID-19. She said the Carlsons will provide more current numbers to the council before they vote on it.

Councilor Bigelow, who said she is very much for the development, said she is not okay with the city leaving out parts of the story.

“Don’t come to me with 2019 numbers and tell me that you want a 40% increase, come to me with the real numbers, go get the quotes and then ask me,” she said.

She’s afraid the final cost could be even higher. “(The city) just came to us two weeks ago and asked us for a 50 percent increase on building Firehouse Number 7, up in my ward, because the construction costs have gone up so much. So how do I know that giving you 40 percent more is going to be enough and you aren’t going to come back and ask for more again?” she said.

Chosen Developers Mayor Jan Kulmann said she

NEW IN 2022

Campaign Donations Councilor Bigelow also noted that members of the development group had given donations to Thornton City Councilors, including Kulmann, Mayor Pro Tem Jessica Sandgren and Councilor Tony Unrein.

Bigelow said it is legal to accept campaign contributions from developers and still vote on proposals from those developers, but that needs to change.

“It seems like that would be a conflict and they should have had to recuse themselves,” she said.

has worked with the Carlsons on projects before. Three developers submitted proposals for the Eastlake project, but Kulmann said the other two developers didn’t meet the city’s criteria.

“One was from out of state and they had some interesting ideas to bring in that didn’t quite mesh with the area. One was another local developer, but they just didn’t have the funding and the ability to bring the full realization of the property to life,” she said “They (the Carlsons) are one of the biggest landowners in Adams County and they have been involved in development in the community for a very long time,” she said. “They live here and they’re part of our community so they want to see what to them is very important of building up the community together.”

Phillips’ residency questions sent to executive session

BY LUKE ZARZECKI LZARZECKI@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

WINTER AIR DUCT CLEANING SPECIALS

Prior to Thornton’s Jan. 25 city council meeting, Mayor Pro Tem Sandgren sent council members and city staff an email detailing the controversy of city councilor Jacque Phillips’ secondary home in Alamosa, Colorado.

“The items in the deed of trust indicate that the property was purchased as the principal residence,” Sandgren said. “I’m looking for the direction from the city attorney’s office for what we are supposed to do with this information moving forward.”

Sandgren, who represents ward two, claimed that residents asked her whether Phillips — who represents ward one — could and should continue to serve the city of Thornton in her councilor capacity. She said she brought this forward for the residents.

Phillips disagrees.

“This is all politics. It is no secret that Sandgren and I have different political views and visions for the city of Thornton. By removing me from my council seat and appointing someone else it provides the opportunity to further entrench Council with members that will share Sandgren’s view and vision for the city,” she said.

Sandgren also claimed that “the items in the deed of trust indicate that the property was purchased as the principal residence.”

“I maintain a residence in Alamosa

but that does not mean I have moved from my condo in Thornton which is the relevant legal standard under our charter.

As evidence that I have not moved, I still own my residence in Thornton, my law office, my vehicle registration and my voter registration,” Phillips said Phillips.

Thornton’s City Attorney Tami Yellico suggested council have an executive session regarding the matter for council to receive legal advice and provide an opportunity for Phillips to provide any information she thinks is relevant.

Council and city staff would discuss the matter in private — which is normal for executive session — and vote on the item in public. Yellico said that if the majority of city council wants to consider the evidence brought during executive session, then it would go on the agenda for a future date.

The planning session came soon after Sandgren sent her email. On Feb. 1, the city attorney plans on giving city council advice on “specific legal questions regarding Charter provisions, process, and law for addressing potential City Council vacancies.”

Phillips feels like the process has been rushed.

“This is all political,” she said.

“That’s how they planned it. The Sandgren email was sent right before our meeting,” she said.

City councilor Julia Marvin

agrees.

“I do feel like it’s rushed,” she said.

Marvin thinks that if residents have an issue with Phillips’ residency, then it should go to a recall vote.

She does not think it is fair to have a simple majority on council to determine the outcome of this issue.

“I don’t think this needs to go to executive session, I think it needs to be public,” said city councilor Karen Bigelow.

“I did think this was a settled matter so I’m not exactly sure why we’re visiting it,” said city councilor Kathy Henson. “This whole process doesn’t feel proper and it doesn’t look reasonable to residents and taxpayers who are paying us to work on their behalf.”

Henson suggested outside counsel to provide legal opinions and Yellico agreed that should happen.

“It didn’t work back in September, I don’t know what has changed,” said city councilor Julia Marvin. “This whole thing is gross.”

Sandgren said that the issue was not resolved because council did not have the deed of trust.

Marvin voiced concerns most of the discussions on the issue would take place in executive session — where the public does not have access to — and none would carry over to the public meeting where council votes on the matter.

Yellico responded and said that the executive session is to give councilors legal advice and for them to ask questions. Then, the council would vote on it in public.

The Vacancy Clause Marvin said that those opposed to Phillips’ residence will attempt to use the 4.5.C Vacancy Clause in Thornton’s Municipal Code, which states “A vacancy shall exist when an elective officer fails to qualify, dies, resigns, is removed from office, moves from the City, moves from the ward from which elected, is incapacitated or is absent continuously therefrom for more than three (3) months, is convicted of a felony, or is judicially declared mentally incompetent.”

In Sec. 2-243 of the municpal code, it states the rules for determing residence. It says that before a candidate is eligible for office, the city clerk must verify that each candidate meets the requirement of residing in the city.

Examples of documents candidates can provide are property records from the county assessor’s office indicating that the candidate was the property owner of the primary residence for 12 consecutive months by the date the appointment will be effective; a lease for the primary residence which is in the name of the candidate and includes the date of commencement; a utility bill for the residence, and other documentation not included on the list.

According to Phillips, she “still own my residence in Thornton, my law office, my vehicle registration and my voter registration.”

“The optics don’t look good if we’re allowed to vote each other off of Council,” said Bigelow.

FLU

FROM PAGE 1

states like Texas and New Mexico have “very high” numbers of flu cases, Colorado is still in the “minimal” stage, meaning not many cases are currently being recorded.

Rao said flu cases started dropping again when the omicron variant of COVID-19 sparked up. As cases of omicron increased, for some reason, flu cases again decreased, she said.

When asked what would cause the change, Rao said doctors are looking at a variety of reasons.

“The reasons why are not clear,” Rao said. “Could be people started wearing more masks with more restrictive policies in place. There are some other theories too.”

Rao said one theory that cannot yet be confirmed is that omicron ran

MASKS

FROM PAGE 2

History Repeats Itself Historical pandemics may counter Nurmela’s stance on mandates setting precedent, according to Stephan Leonard, a history professor at Metropolitan State University of Denver. Leonard said that mask mandates were used during the Spanish flu along with many other different strategies to control outbreaks.

“They tried everything, they closed theaters at times, they closed churches at times and they did have mask mandates,” he said. Although, he said the mandates in Denver did

“viral interference” to influenza.

“The theory is that one respiratory virus takes over and others go away,” she said.

Dr. Eric Hill, a HealthOne emergency room physician at the Medical Center of Aurora, said the HealthOne network saw cases drop off as omicron came into view. However, Hill said some of that might be because hospitals are stressed and testing for COVID is a priority, which means labs were testing less for the influenza.

“The need of resource to battle omicron skyrocketed, putting a massive drain on the testing labs,” he said.

“Unless it was a must-have, the flu tests were not done. COVID really has drained the system.”

Dr. Ben Usatch, an emergency medicine physician and medical director for UCHealth Hospital Highlands Ranch, said he would argue without proof that omicron was just so

much more contagious that it spread throughout the region much faster and with more force than influenza can.

Like Children’s Hospital, Hill said that before omicron, adult flu cases were comparative to the days before the COVID pandemic. However, now, doctors are not sure what to expect for the remainder of the flu season, Hill said.

“With the expectation that omicron cases are going to start to drop, whether that means influenza has a chance to grab hold again — we don’t know,” Hill said.

Usatch said after a nonexistent flu season last year, it’s hard to even consider what to expect in the coming months.

To truly protect the community, Usatch said, getting the flu vaccine and COVID vaccine should be a priority.

“Getting these shots not only protects you, but it provides protection to

your family and the community,” he said. “A virus is a virus. Some flus are more concerning than others because of the pneumonia factor. The flu season is still young and getting protected is important.”

Rao and Hill said it is not too late to get the flu shot this season, adding that it is better late than never.

Doctors say flu and COVID symptoms are similar. Anyone with symptoms, Rao said, should first be tested for COVID. After that, other diagnosis options can be explored.

Hill said a big difference between COVID and the flu is the high fever.

COVID presents with a lower-level fever, while the flu causes much higher temperatures, he said.

While the flu can primarily be treated with fluid and over-the-counter medications, Usatch said anyone struggling to breathe should get to a doctor immediately.

not last very long.

He said the medical consensus on the effectiveness of masks back then was not clear whether masks worked or not, and said the masks used were low quality; unlike today where in Colorado, free N 95 masks are available and the CDC recommends wearing them.

From the book “America’s Forgotten Pandemic” by Alfred Crosby, Leonard said San Francisco had a strict mask mandate in November 1918 and required everyone to wear a mask. The police arrested about 400 people for not wearing a mask.

After two months, people became less and less cooperative.

He read from the book: “Civil libertarians whose sensitivity on

the subject of tyranny exceeded their fear of flu agreed, they said if the Board of Health can force people to wear a mask, then it can force him to submit to inoculation or any experiment or indignity.”

Leonard noted the many other health regulations during the 20th century and pointed to diseases like smallpox.

“They could quarantine houses and people couldn’t go to those houses. In fact, they even had what they had called `test houses’ where they could take people that were highly contagious to get them away from the general population,” he said.

And as the pandemics became under control, the regulations eased.

She said she works with foster children as a court-appointed special advocate (CASA) for Adams county.

“It is damaging and very saddening to see so many (court) cases being pushed just because we are not following data levels,” she said.

In a separate interview, Emmons talked about her work with CASA and how cases have been piling up in the court system throughout the pandemic. The children she works with, she said, lose the interpersonal connection of seeing others due to face masks.

“Because they’re forced to cover their face, they’re forced to cover an interpersonal connection that they could otherwise be building,” she said.

Similar to fighting the pandemic, masks cannot be attributed as the only reason for poor mental health among children, Albanese said.

“Our own Children’s Hospital Colorado, has reassured us that the stressors that children experience cannot be solely attributed to masks,” Albanese said.

She said isolation, distancing, schools switching from remote to in-person, parents losing jobs and many other factors over the past two years contribute to this sad fact.

“It’s been very, very difficult on everybody, no one’s dismissing that,” she said.

Covid and Children “If you do not believe that this is not affecting our young people, I challenge you to prove that to me,” said DeMott.

He thinks mask mandates and other requirements that have come from the government due to the COVID-19 pandemic has increased anxiety and suicide rates.

Councilor Linsdsey Emmons supported the decision and read a quote from a National Public Radio article saying that young adults are disproportionately suffering higher levels of pandemic-related anxiety, depression, substance abuse and suicidal thoughts.

Officials predict 80% omicron immunity by mid-February COVID numbers remain high but continue to drop

BY JOHN DALEY CPR

Colorado is still seeing extraordinarily high levels of coronavirus transmission and hospitalizations.

But those numbers appear to have peaked and are now falling. State pandemic modelers, citing new projections, say they expect the epidemic curve to keep dropping in the next few weeks.

“It is encouraging to see this modeling report suggest we have moved beyond the peak of our omicron surge, and that we should continue to see declining COVID-19 transmission in Colorado in the coming weeks,” said Dr. Rachel Herlihy, state epidemiologist, in a health department press release.

Still, the Colorado COVID-19 Modeling Group estimates a large number of the state’s population, one in 19 Coloradans, is currently infectious.

But immunity to the omicron variant is “high and rising,” according to the state. Modeling estimates a notable 80 percent of the state’s population will be immune to omicron by mid-February. Infection numbers have hit unprecedented levels this month, but models project it will drop sharply in the coming weeks, potentially back to low levels (below 1 percent) by the end of February.

The health department said there’s still plenty of uncertainty around the estimate.

And while infectious disease experts are seeing similar trends nationally, they are cautioning that the coronavirus has broken all the rules and a troubling new variant could pop up at any time.

“If we fast forward to the end of late spring, early summer, so May, will there be a new variant? Probably,” said Dr. John Swartzberg, a clinical professor emeritus and expert in infectious diseases at the UC Berkeley School of Public Health.

“But we’re going to have a very different, from an immunity perspective, a very different population.”

“Hopefully we’ll have more people vaccinated and boosted,” he added.

Colorado’s COVID-19 hospitalizations dropped for the 8th straight last week to 1,526. But that number is still extremely high after the omicron wave arrived on the heels of the delta surge. Ninety-one percent of intensive care beds are in use, as of Jan. 24, and only 135 of a total of roughly 1,500 ICU beds are open.

Staffing remains extraordinarily tight, with more than half of hospitals anticipating a staff shortage in the next week, and about a third of facilities anticipating an ICU bed shortage.

The seven-day positivity rate fell again on Jan. 24, as it has been for the past two weeks, down to 22.82 percent. On January 11, that figure was nearing 30 percent, or six times the 5 percent threshold epidemiolo-

gists regard as worrisome.

Cases also appear to be dropping sharply, though the true picture is hard to gauge. Many people are now taking COVID-19 tests at home, officials worry most people are not reporting their results to the state.

Herlihy urged Coloradans to stay cautious and keep following public health guidance to help protect themselves and others. That includes getting vaccinated, getting a third dose as soon as it is time, wearing a mask in public, and steering clear of large gatherings.

“Together we can work to ensure case rates continue to decrease in Colorado,” she said.

Semper Gardens gets Council approval

BY LUKE ZARZECKI LZARZECKI@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Westminster city council approved 5-2 the preliminary development plan for Semper Gardens, the applicant is Berkeley Homes, with the condition to cap density at five dwelling units per units on Jan. 24.

Councilors Baker and Seymour said no.

According to the agenda written by interim city manager Jody Andrews, the development would take up 39 acres located along the west side of Sheridan Boulevard and south of West 104th Avenue.

The planning commission barely

recommended approval by city council, with a 4-3 vote. They recommended no more than five dwelling units per acre and no townhomes.

Council did not follow their advice on townhomes.

A large part of the conversation revolved around townhomes, which are multi story homes that are attached by shared walls. According to the agenda, “Staff finds that the townhomes are crucial to achieving the diversity of housing that is both allowed in the R-5 and R-8 designations and is specifically desired by the Affordable & Workforce Housing Strategic Plan.”

Councilor Ezeadi asked about the

affordability of the development.

“The range of prices, I think I heard $500,000 - $900,000. My very leading question is, who is this neighborhood for?” he asked. “(the townhomes) are the most attainable product we have onsite,” said Marcus Pachner, a member of the Berkely Homes team.

Pachner, a member of the Berkely Homes team, said that they are doing everything they can to make housing more attainable. He said more density is key to more affordability.

Ezeadi agreed that more supply of housing is needed to lower prices, but noted that he was extremely

disappointed that there was not one unit of affordable housing in the plan. He said that the neighborhood is not for the low-income, millennials, the elderly, fixed income, low income or the homeless.

“There is a very specific price range, a high price range, that this is for,” he said. “Wrapping my head around in this lack of care to even try (to make it more affordable.)”

Mayor McNally voiced concerns over the lack of access roads to and out of the neighborhood in case of emergency.

Westminster votes for board members

BY LUKE ZARZECKI LZARZECKI@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Westminster City Councilors agreed Jan. 24 to fill seats on several advisory boards and commissions, reversing a stand from earlier in the month.

Westminster city council voted 6-1 to reappoint the city’s advisory board members on Jan. 24. The decision pivots from a previous decision on Jan. 10 to table reappointments until after the strategic planning retreat, which is Jan. 29 and 30.

“Change is always hard,” said Councilor Bruce Baker, the only

councilor who opposed to the resolution.

Councilors Rich Seymour, Lindsey Emmons (formerly Smith,) Mayor Pro Tem David DeMott and Mayor Nancy McNally changed from their original vote.

Baker said at the Jan. 10 city council meeting that the decision to reappoint the members should come after the strategic planning retreat, which is Jan. 29 and Jan. 30, to give the members an opportunity to see if they align with the plan.

The new resolution reappointed and appointed new and alternate members to the Election Commission, Environmental Advisory

Board, Historic Landmark Board, Human Services Board, Inclusivity Board, Parks, Recreation, Libraries, and Open Space Advisory Board, Personnel Board, Planning Commission, and Special Permit and License Board, respectively.

“I do believe though we caught some of our long-time original board members off guard and I think we need to put in place an interview process, a check in, whatever we want to call that, at the end of each two-year term so we are all on the same page,” Councilor Seymour said.

DeMott asked for the item to be back on the agenda because of feed-

back from residents.

He originally wanted to table the appointments to check in with board members before reappointing them, and even with his approval vote, he still stands by that.

“That’s not something we’ve done in the past, but I think it would be constructive for both parties, and that’s not to say that’s because council will get rid of you, it’s a good touch base for your feedback and maybe check attendance,” he said.

He also said he thinks diverse trains of thought are constructive and wants the boards to align with the strategic plan.

Could liquor stores be a solution to state’s food deserts?

Senate Bill 33 would change limits on liquor stores selling food products

BEST OF THE BEST

BY JESSE PAUL COLORADO SUN

If there’s one thing Colorado has a lot of, it’s liquor stores. There are more than 1,500 of them in the state.

And state Sen. Kevin Priola sees them as a way to help eliminate a stubborn problem plaguing both Colorado’s inner-city neighborhoods and rural parts of the state: food deserts, areas where people have limited or no access to nutritious food.

“There are lots of inner-city parts of the state, as well as rural parts of the state, where there is no grocery store for miles and miles,” the Republican lawmaker from Henderson said. “But liquor stores are everywhere.”

Priola has teamed up with state Rep. Lisa Cutter, a Morrison Democrat, to introduce Senate Bill 33 at the Colorado Capitol this year, which would exempt fruit, vegetables, nuts and meat – as long as they’re not in a “substantially” processed form – from a state mandate that says non-alcohol products can’t exceed 20% of a liquor store’s sales.

The objective is simple: give liquor stores the option to become a place where their patrons can pick up both brandy and broccoli, whiskey and watermelon, and scotch and salmon.

“It doesn’t require them to do it,” Priola said. “It just says they may do it.”

What exactly constitutes a food desert isn’t agreed upon. One definition is an urban area where someone can’t walk to a store that offers fresh food within 10 minutes, or a rural area where fresh food is more than 10 miles away.

In Denver, the Elyria-Swansea and College View neighborhoods have been identified as food deserts.

Large swaths of the San Luis Valley and Baca, Bent, Prowers and Yuma counties have also been called food deserts. Both are areas that have liquor stores.

Liquor stores don’t think the legislation is a shot worth taking – at least not right now – and that may doom the measure.

They argue the bill could upset a complicated 2016 agreement they made with grocery stores – called “the grand compromise” – that dramatically changed where fullstrength beer can be sold in Colo-

have two accesses that can only take you south, you can’t go north, I don’t feel good about that,” she said.

Positive comments did come from the project’s public land dedication, which would total 6.2 acres of PLD, 1.6 acres of private park and eight acres of other open space.

The public land dedication would

rado. And fresh food isn’t an area where they see a potential for profit.

“This is just the wrong answer,” said Chris Fine, the executive director of the Colorado Licensed Beverage Association, which opposes the measure. “The reason that liquor stores don’t sell those products is because it doesn’t work with our business model. They don’t have the storage to store these things. It’s just impractical.”

Fine also points out that liquor stores are prohibited from accepting food stamps. Finally, he worries that the bill would only serve to benefit a few liquor stores, and that it might create more competition for his members by encouraging butchers and specialty grocery stores to get a liquor license.

The bottom line, Fine says, is that liquor stores are not the silver bullet Priola may be looking for.

Sen. Robert Rodriguez, a Denver Democrat who is chair of the Senate Business, Labor and Technology Committee, where Senate Bill 33 was assigned, did not respond to a request for comment on the bill.

But the vice chair of the committee, Sen. James Coleman, another Denver Democrat, worries the legislation may not be the right approach.

“I’m not opposed to the bill, but I don’t think it solves the problem,” he said. “I think the real solution is to build some healthy options.”

The Wine and Spirits Wholesalers of Colorado and Colorado Petroleum Marketers Association, which represents convenience stores, are so far taking a neutral stance on the measure, state lobbying disclosures show.

Priola said he has spoken with Healthier Colorado, Children’s Hospital Colorado, the Colorado Blueprint to End Hunger, Hunger Free Colorado and Nourish Colorado about Senate Bill 33, but there are no lobbyists for advocacy groups that

work on food deserts or related issues signed up to support or oppose the measure. That may be a sign that Senate Bill 33 isn’t something they feel strongly about.

Representatives for Healthier Colorado, Hunger Free Colorado and Nourish Colorado either didn’t respond to requests for comment Monday or declined to comment.

“I’m kind of surprised there is a lot of opposition,” said Cutter, the Democratic sponsor of the measure.

“I signed onto it because it’s a creative approach.”

Annie Oakley’s Grocery and Liquor Store employee Michele Joyce takes a cigarette break in the doorway along on Central City’s Main Street on April 27, 2020. (Andy Colwell, Special to The Colorado Sun) Priola said the alcohol industry naysayers are people who don’t want to upset the “apple cart of a deal that was cut six years ago.” And he fully recognizes that it’s unlikely that all of the state’s liquor stores would take advantage of the policy change if it somehow clears the big hurdles ahead of it.

“But they would at least have the opportunity to serve their community,” he said.

He thinks Denver’s Montbello neighborhood, which several years ago was labeled a food desert, is a perfect example of where his bill could be useful. There are just one or two grocery stores but several liquor stores.

“I think at the bare minimum it’ll be, pun intended, a healthy conversation,” Priola said.

Councilor Nurmela brought up comments related to Bald Eagles that reside on the property.

“Where are they, can we just like save their tree? What can be done there?” she said.

Pachner said that at the many dead trees on the site, the Bald Eagles come during the day and are not nesting.

Before coming to the council meeting, the team did not do a biological study on the eagles, which is what

Nurmela asked for. Pachner said per the Official Development Plan, they will complete one.

“A bunch of the neighbors said `no they come during the day, they are not nesting there,” he said.

A resident submitted a public comment on the subject.

“There are eagles that roost on the trees of this property. They were already pushed from the land that was developed at Sheridan and 98th. It would be a shame to push them yet again,” Sandra Oyarzun-Jacyszyn said in a letter to the city.

VOICES

Commerce City blew it on the public park

any of you would have seen the Denver Post frontpage article of Jan. 22 on the City of Commerce City mishandling CROSS the advertised and promised public CURRENTS park in the 316-acre Buffalo Highlands Subdivision.

It is unfathomable to me that by the city’s own code requirements and definitions these residents ended up Bill Christopher empty-handed as far as a public park to play touch football, have some playground equipment or toss a ball.

By the city’s policy, there should have been 3.3 acres dedicated for public parkland based on the 108.7acre development when imposing the city’s 3% land dedication. However, the city’s definition of open space and what constitutes private parks has left this neighborhood without a public park.

Someone was asleep at the wheel while this development was planned and built out. Also, their policy of what constitutes fulfilling the public land dedication needs a major overhaul. Finally, future Commerce City residents would be better served if the public land dedication was calculated on allowed density as opposed to the number of acres of residential land.

Use of cash in lieu funds needs to be redefined I flag this recent “oops” as one

Commerce City council member called it, because it reminds me of the recent discussion by the Westminster City Council and protesting area residents over the Uplands development public land dedication. While Westminster pinned down where and how 40 acres of the public land dedication would be applied to the 234-acre Uplands development, it showed that a couple of policy issues needed further consideration.

Specifically, the issues were how much cash in lieu was to be extracted from the development and whether that money should be earmarked for the development of the parks within the Uplands neighborhoods.

Let me say that I think the city council was correct in deciding to allocate the cash-in-lieu funds to be used to help build parks in the development where the money came from. It would not be fair to take the Uplands cashin-lieu funds and use them on some other neighborhood parks or a regional park development such as the Nature Park in south Westminster.

Let’s remember that ultimately the money for the cash in lieu is generated by the homebuyers and renters who live in the Uplands via the home purchase price or the monthly rent.

Westminster should be prudent and revisit its cash in lieu policy.

The city should mandate that the funds generated by a residential development should be applied on the land where the cash came

LETTER TO THE EDITOR State Christopher’s source While discussing the Thornton mayoral term limits case, Bill Christopher said “The motive for bringing this lawsuit, and who is paying for it looks and smells fishy.”

However, at no point in the column does he discuss what he believes that motive to be nor does he indicate who is funding the effort. That’s not responsible, even in an opinion column.

If Mr. Christopher has knowledge of who has paid for Ms. Salazar’s legal bills, it would be interesting for the community to know that and to draw their own conclusions. It would be much better than to make a statement that only amounts to innuendo.

from under criteria to be spelled out. Obviously, some minimumsize amounts should be excluded from such a policy.

Bradburn Village public parkland should be developed The Commerce City public park oversight reminds me of the lack of development of the public parkland in the Bradburn Village development, which was dedicated to the city but has never been developed by the city.

This was approximately 20 years ago and the residents still do not have their developed public park.

However, it should be pointed out that cash in lieu of public land dedication as well as park development fees were collected by the city but the funds were used elsewhere.

While there are not very many situations like this lingering in Westminster, it warrants corrective action by the city council.

Bradburn Village residents, both homeowners and apartment renters, have previously paid for at least a portion of what the park development would cost, but remain empty-handed. It is past time to correct this error. This should be a 2023 Budget priority!

Get what you paid for While I understand city staff’s preference to have flexibility in where both cash in lieu of land dedication and park development fees are spent, it begs the fundamental question of equity and fairness. It is recognized that Westminster has very limited

residential land still available for development.

Some might say ask change the policy now that “the horse is out of the barn.” I would simply say establish a fair policy so that residents get what they paid for.

Chickens, pigs, goats? Oh my!

Currently, the City of Thornton allows licensing for chickens and Vietnamese potbelly pigs in some residential areas. It should be noted that where homeowners associations exist such allowances may not exist.

Now, a Thornton resident has expressed a desire to raise goats in her backyard. The Police Department recently presented the idea of allowing goats in the city in certain residential areas with certain restrictions. Such requirements as licensing and proper fencing were highlighted along with the need to modify a city vehicle to haul goats and coordination with the separately owned animal shelter. It was interesting to learn that Arvada, Colorado Springs, Denver, Golden, Fort Collins, Lafayette, Wheatridge and Brighton allow goats under certain requirements in residential zones.

Thornton Council members gave a “thumbs up” to the concept of a two-year trial. Staff will be coming back to the council with a proposed ordinance to implement the concept.

There clearly is a trend in municipalities especially in the SEE CHRISTOPHER, P11

we normally wouldn’t say. Or we spend hours being angry and depriving ourselves of hours of finding peace of mind.

I started using this made-up word to describe what I see as the problem, attackusation. When I do watch the news or read online stories it is no longer about someone just attacking someone else physically or verbally, they feel compelled to attack their opinion, decision, or action and then go after them on a personal level making accusations that are most often false. And they aren’t satisfied with attacking or accusing just that person, they attack and accuse their family and friends.

Is this really what has become of our society? Let’s go back to what I said earlier that there is more goodness in the world than bad. Andrew Carnegie said, “You expect to move tons of dirt to find an ounce of gold, but you don’t go into the mine looking for the dirt, you go in looking for the gold.” If we want to find the bad, we can find it for sure. The question is do we want to? And if we do, why? I mean some people go around look-

ing for the bad like there is some kind of prize or reward for finding the bad.

None of us has all the answers, but I do know that I can pass along a few simple suggestions. First, turn off the sources where we are being fed the negative fuel that drives our anger. Second, focus on the good, the goodness, and the good people that are all around us.

And lastly, change our vocabulary to avoid words of anger and hate to words of love, gentleness, kindness, compassion, and forgiveness. Will these three little suggestions work? They will work if you apply them.

How about you? Is it time to change your input so you can change your output? Are you searching for the bad or are you looking for the good? And is it time to change your vocabulary and focus on words of hope and encouragement? I would love to hear your story at mnorton@ tramazing.com, and when we can turn away the wrath and anger for the good and kind, it really will be a better than good year.

suburbs to bring back elements of a more agricultural-related lifestyle.

Politicians used to promise a “chicken in every pot”, but today it leans more toward “a chicken or goat in your backyard.”

Bipartisan support on Dearfield, Colorado study Every now and then we see support for a worthwhile project or policy from both sides of the political aisle. Such collaboration is great to see especially when it involves something in which each of us has an interest.

Two of Colorado’s U.S. Representatives have gone together on federal legislation which would have the U.S. Interior Department perform a resource study on the Dearfield Homestead in Weld County, Colorado.

How many of us had heard of this abandoned town and its story before U.S. Representatives Ken Buck (R) and Joe Neguse (D) announced their

Dearfield Study Act? I sure had not, but now I am very interested.

You see this was a prominent Black homesteading settlement starting in 1910. Started by O.T. Jackson as an agricultural community of 300 Black people, it only lasted until the early 1930s due to the Great Depression and the Dust Bowl.

There are a few buildings still standing which makes Dearfield unique among other Black homesteads across America.

Representative Buck summed it up best by saying “America must always be mindful of its past.” Hopefully, this legislation will be enacted by Congress and the historical significance of Dearfield can be ascertained and then become a part of the U.S. Park Service with appropriate funding. To piggyback Rep. Buck, we as citizens should be mindful of our community’s past as well.

Pandemic, popular Netflix series stir interest, ire

BY DEBORAH GRIGSBY DGRIGSBY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

W

hile waiting out the coronavirus, it appears the world got ‘board.’

Who knew all it would take to reignite global interest in chess was a raging pandemic and unsupervised access to the internet?

No, seriously.

As public health orders canceled concerts and closed theaters and restaurants, we looked inward— and online—for ways to occupy time and connect with others.

We made masks.

We howled at the moon.

We binge-watched.

And “The Queen’s Gambit” was one of our favorites.

The Netflix miniseries, set in the 1950s and ‘60s, is a coming-of-age story of a fictional teenage chess prodigy based on the 1983 Walter Tevis novel of the same name.

It follows the life of orphan Elizabeth Harmon and her substance abuse struggle as she rises through the ranks to become a world chess champion.

It was a story we liked—a lot.

Within the first three weeks of its October 2020 debut, the sevenepisode drama had toy stores scrambling to keep chess sets on the shelves and online buyers coming up with empty carts and backorders.

Market research firm NPD Group reported unit sales of chess sets jumped 87% in the U.S., and chess book sales rose by an astronomical 603%.

“The idea that a streaming television series can have an impact on product sales is not a new one, but we are finally able to view it through the data,” said NPD toy industry advisor Juli Lennett in a November 2020 statement. “The sales of chess books and chess sets, which had previously been flat or declining for years, turned sharply upward as the popular new series gained viewers.”

Online gaming platforms also saw dramatic increases in memberships and active users.

Chess.com Director of Technology at Saad Abdali said traffic to the online chess site tripled after the pandemic hit. He published a July 20, 2021 tech blog discussing how the site handled the dramatic user surge and said that in March 2020 alone, the number of daily active users rose from 280,000 to more than 1 million.

hotel ballroom, the Denver Chess Club MLK Memorial Chess Tournament gets underway.

The room’s atmosphere is ripe with heavy sighs and a constant hum from the ventilation system.

The two-day, five-round Swiss tournament held Jan. 15-16 attracted more than 90 local players.

While 23-year-old tournament director Andrew Starr admits he is ”a little on the young side for a tournament director,” he says the turnout for the in-person event was exceptional.

Starr circles the room, observing the players—and spectators that gather to view the more exciting games.

He admits a great deal of the director’s job is reminding folks of the tournament’s strict silence policy. ”It’s expected (that spectators are) to be silent at all times,” he said. “As a tournament director, that’s my big sticking point.”

The CU grad student and Grandview High School alum said he’s pleased with the wildly popular Netflix series.

“The top thing I liked about it is that better than any other pop culture piece, it accurately represents the chess world without making it inaccessible to general audiences,” Starr said.

And that’s important.

As Starr points out, there are many elements of chess culture that the public tends to get wrong. ”I think one of the biggest misconceptions about chess players is that they’re these bizarre, quiet recluses,” he said. “I think it’s because Bobby Fischer is the most famous American chess player, and

Lauded for his stunning 1972 World Championship win against Soviet defending champion Boris Spassky, Grand Master Robert James Fischer was also known for his eccentric and often exaggerated paranoid behavior.

Fischer made numerous antiSemitic outbursts throughout his career, and in 1992 was indicted for ignoring an executive order from President George H.W. Bush.

The order, which imposed restrictions on relations with Yugoslavia, made Fischer’s famous rematch with is Spassky illegal, based on its location in Belgrade.

here’s been no shortage of shortages over the last couple years, but one of the most difficult has been the deficit of laughter COMING - and things worth ATTRACTIONS laughing about.

And let’s face it, we could use the healing power of laughter now more than ever.

Fortunately, Miners Alley Playhouse is filling that prescription for audiences Clarke Reader with its comedy, “Moon Over Buffalo.” And it’s arriving two years later than was originally planned.

“We were one week away from opening our production on March 20 when everything shut down. We had to just keep postponing the production,” said Rory Pierce, who is directing the show. “Especially after everything we’ve been through, we thought people could use a good laugh. So, we thought it would a great fit to bring back.”

“Moon Over Buffalo” runs at Miners Alley, 1224 Washington Ave. in Golden, from Friday, Jan. 28 through Sunday, March 20. Performances are at 7:30 p.m. on Thursday through Saturday and 2 p.m. on Sunday. The theater is requiring masks to be worn by all audience members and proof of vaccination for everyone 12 years old and older.

Written by Ken Ludwig, the show follows Charlotte (Abby Apple Boes)

the human experience. It’s an art form. It’s a competition. It’s fun, and it’s got room in it for all kinds of creativity, discovery and excitement.”

No longer just ‘old white guys’ In the U.S., the 1950s and ‘60s were periods of drastic contrast, so say many historians—the ‘50s being the post-World War II decade of prosperity and conformity. In comparison, the ‘60s brought about change and rebellion.

The ongoing Cold War between the U.S. and the Soviet Union played heavily into the miniseries storyline.

It was a period when men dominated the chess scene, and only a handful of female players got the opportunity to compete professionally.

“The show framed the main character as one young girl against

and George Hay (Larry Cahn), an acting couple touring with a repertory company that’s performing “Cyrano de Bergerac” and Noel Coward’s “Private Lives” in Buffalo in 1953. What ensues is a comedy of errors as everything that can go wrong does, thanks in no small part to folks like Charlotte’s deaf, old stage-manager mother.

“The great thing about the show is that it gives every actor the opportunity to laugh at themselves,” Cahn said. “It’s a love letter to actors and a spoof of actors at the same time. It’s right in the wheelhouse of what so many of us like to do.”

Both Cahn and Pierce said they were surprised they were how easy it was to return to a show that was halted so close to getting off the ground. And the time between the two productions allowed Pierce to fine tune some things around the staging. And with most of the cast from the first attempt returning for this one, it’s a way to finally close a creative loop.

“When you have the opportunity to bring your own live experiences into a show like this, it’s one you have to take,” Pierce said. “For audiences, the show is an opportunity to forget about their own lives for a while, along with everything else going on in the world, and have a good time laughing at people in sillier situations than you are.”

Cahn agreed.

“The show is just silly,” he said.

“There’s no message here - it’s just funny.”

a bunch of old Russian men,” said Starr. ”And that’s just how it was in Fischer’s day. But now, things are a little different.”

Chess is no longer just about “old white guys,” he said, adding that the game and the players are more diverse, vibrant and respectful now.

In his opinion, the game is also becoming much younger.

And he might be right.

Last year, Tanitoluwa “Tani” Adewumi, a 10-year-old Nigerian refugee living in New York, became America’s newest chess master at the tender age of 10, according to the U.S. Chess Federation, making him the 28th youngest person to achieve the status.

And at just 15, Cherry Creek High School students Neil Bhavikatti and Vedanth Sampath are among the highest-ranked players in Colorado.

“No discussion of chess culture would be complete without talking about women in chess,” Starr said.

“I think that both evolving social norms and the impetus of ‘The

Queen’s Gambit’ have propelled more girls into playing, which personally, I think is excellent, but there are some contentious issues regarding female chess players that may be worth talking about.”

One of those is the concept of women-only tournaments.

Starr supports the idea.

He says all-female tournaments may help break the ice and encourage more girls and women to give the game a try.

Another point of contention, Starr says, is the concept of separate titles for men and women.

“I know that as a man, I can’t speak for the opinions of all women, but I do join a sizable number of female chess players in saying

Clarke Reader’s column on culture appears on a weekly basis. He can be reached at Clarke.Reader@hotmail.com. that women’s titles are a little demeaning. Among other requirements, a grandmaster (GM) title requires a rating of 2500, whereas a woman grandmaster (WGM) only needs to obtain a rating of 2300. which, to me, carries the implication of women being weaker chess players,” he said. “While men have obviously had far more success in the chess world than women, I chalk this up to young boys being steered into chess and young girls being steered elsewhere.”

It’s complicated, Starr said, but the trend is women are starting to see more mainstream success in chess.

The Queen’s Gambit declined Born in the Soviet Union in 1941, Nona Gaprindashvili would become the first woman to be awarded the grandmaster title by the World Chess Federation.

During her career and reign as Women’s World Chess Champion, which spanned 1962-1978, she successfully competed against some of the strongest male players in the world.

Many of them are Russian.

Mentioned by name in “The Queen’s Gambit,” Gaprindashvili was not pleased with the series or how it portraited her.

In fact, she was pretty hot.

In September 2021, she filed a $5 million lawsuit against Netflix, citing false light invasion of privacy and defamation per se.

The 80-year-old, now living in Tbilisi, Georgia, is seeking a trial by jury.

Her suit, filed in the U.S. District Court, Central District of California, centers around allegations that “Netflix brazenly and deliberately lied about Gaprindashvili’s achievements for the cheap and cynical purpose of ‘heightening the drama’ by making it appear that its fictional hero had managed to do what no other woman, including Gaprindashvili, had done.”

And that was face men at the highest levels of chess competition.

The internet as a game-changer The game of chess dates back more than 1,500 years.

kings, chess sets have taken many forms, from rudimentary carvings to elegant and ornate masterpieces crafted from gold and silver.

Now, chess, like most everything else, can be found online.

For some players, the number of resources available makes online chess attractive.

But not to everyone.

Vedanth Sampath, who participated in the Denver Chess Club’s recent in-person tournament, said he’s not a fan of online chess, primarily because of cheating or what some players call “computer doping.”

Doping is essentially using a computer program or an application to obtain an unfair advantage during play.

Not just limited to lower-rated players, grandmasters have also been snared.

Some players have even mastered monetizing chess by live-streaming their games on platforms like Twitch.

A February 2020 article by CNBC News reports 25-year old chess master Alexandra Botez “brings in over $100,000 a year as a professional chess streamer.”

Neil Bhavikatti says popular streamers help bring new players to the board, and Twitch has positively affected the game.

“The game going online brings in such an enormous amount of people to the game,” Starr said. ”It makes it a lot easier to get good very quickly.”

So will chess over-the-board become a relic of bygone days?

It’s hard to say.

When asked what chess needs to stay relevant in the future, Buchanan said, “It just needs to be played—and it seems to be doing a pretty good job.”

Colorado groups threaten to sue EPA

BY MICHAEL BOOTH COLORADO SUN

Colorado environmental groups are warning the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency that they will sue the federal agency for missing a deadline to place northern Front Range counties in the “severe” category for ozone pollution.

Under Clean Air Act laws, the EPA should have placed nine Front Range counties in a more restrictive category requiring more pollution cuts by Jan. 20, according to the Center for Biological Diversity and WildEarth Guardians, which filed separate notices warning of their intent to sue.

Stamping the northern Front Range with a “severe” ozone problem — similar to only a few metro areas in Southern California — would force immediate action on the oil and gas industry and other sources of ozone-causing emissions, WildEarth Guardians’ Jeremy Nichols said.

Regional air quality officials said the “severe” designation would also trigger a federal requirement for all vehicle gasoline to be reformulated to be less volatile in summer months, possibly raising the cost, beginning in 2023. Other possible long-term recommendations to get back under EPA limits include restrictions on the sale of gasoline-powered lawn mowers and other two-cycle engines, and incentives to trade in old ones.

“Sanctioning the state of Colorado is basically putting them in the doghouse and saying you’re not allowed

out until you deal with this mess,” Nichols said.

In a statement responding to questions, the regional EPA office said its reports confirm the metro area has missed the standards. Clean Air Act decisions are based on three-year averages, and the latest 2018-20 average for the Denver Metro North Front Range area is 81 parts per billion, well over both the older 75 and the newer 70 parts per billion standard.

“EPA intends to propose action on whether to “bump up” the (Denver Metro North Front Range) area to a ‘Severe’ nonattainment classification … as part of an upcoming national proposal for all air quality nonattainment areas across the U.S. expected within the next few months,” regional EPA spokesman Richard Mylott said.

The environmental groups’ notices to the state say they will move forward in court if action is not taken within two months.

Ozone problems linger Colorado state officials acknowledge the northern Front Range counties have failed to meet the 2008 EPA limit of 75 parts per billion in measured ozone, particularly in summer months when searing sun heats up volatile organic compounds and other components of the ozone mix. Wildfire smoke can make the volatile mix worse, but state officials have said they will not seek concessions because of increasing Western wildfires.

An even stricter EPA standard of

70 parts per billion will kick in for 2023, and if Colorado fails to keep trimming pollution to get under the new limits, more sanctions would be coming. The northern Front Range nonattainment area is currently in the “serious” violation category. The area encompasses Denver, Boulder, Jeffco, Adams, Arapahoe, Douglas, Broomfield, Weld and parts of Larimer counties.

The environmental groups said they are baffled at the EPA’s delay under a more green-friendly Biden administration, and that Gov. Polis and other state officials have signaled the downgrade to “severe” for the region was coming. Polis directed state agencies to not argue their way out of the downgrade, and instead redouble efforts to cut ozone-causing pollution.

Ground-level ozone pollution irritates the lungs and contributes to asthma, causes other human health problems and damages vegetation.

Given that state officials are prepared for the downgrade, Center for Biological Diversity Colorado counsel Robert Ukeiley said, “it is absolutely inexcusable that EPA is illegally delaying these lifesaving protective measures.”

One impact of the downgrade, WildEarth Guardians said, would be to require state air pollution permits for sources down to 25 tons of emissions per year, compared to the current floor of 50 tons per year. That would primarily impact the oil and gas industry at drilling and collection sites, they said.

The Regional Air Quality Council, charged with planning for pollution improvements throughout the metro area, believes the EPA designation is forthcoming, and local agencies are moving ahead with proposed solutions, the air quality council’s executive director Mike Silverstein said.

“They’re trying to accomplish national rulemaking. This can go a little slow sometimes, but we’re confident that they’re going to make that change,” he said.

Timing of the designation is important, Silverstein added, for triggering the Clean Air Act provision that “severe” ozone areas must further reformulate their summer gas. Refineries will need time to have the reformulated gas on sale by 2023, he said.

The extra refining required can raise the price per gallon, Silverstein added, but with wide fluctuations in gas prices from supply and demand changes year to year, the hikes could be difficult to discern.

State and local officials are working on EPA-required plans to address both the 75 and 70 parts per billion ozone requirements. They intend to make cuts that would bring areas into attainment by 2026, he said.

Brighton High School bests Westminster

BY JONATHAN MANESS SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA

WESTMINSTER – The Brighton high school boys basketball team grew up in a big way Jan. 27.

The Bulldogs held off a resilient Westminster squad, holding on for a 62-57 victory and picking up their first win in the Class 5A East Metro Athletic Conference.

“They grew up,” Brighton coach Rolando Davila said. “I challenged the guys (Thursday), they responded and that is part of growing up.”

It wasn’t easy, as the Wolves just wouldn’t go away, especially with the sharpshooting of Erick Jones.

Jones, who had a game-high 21 points, hit a trey and found freshman Sammy Barajas for another 3-pointer to cut the deficit to three points with 50 seconds left in the contest. But Brighton hit its free throws down the stretch to seal the victory.

The win ended a five-game losing streak for the Bulldogs and gave the team some confidence as they continue in league play. The Bulldogs were on the road Feb. 1, after press time, at Northglenn and then host league-rival Adams City Friday, Feb. 4.

“We needed this win,” Davila said.

“Winning isn’t easy, it takes work, and the guys worked for this win.”

Westminster came of the gates quickly, with big shots from Thomas Kennedy and Armando Gomez to give the Wolves an early 9-3 advantage. But foul trouble became a factor, with Gomez having to leave the game with a pair of early fouls.

Brighton’s Sean Wadsworth hit a trey to cut the lead to 15-13 after the

first quarter.

The Bulldogs opened the second with an 11-4 run, taking advantage of their size in the post. Six-foot-4 Brett Vonau scored on back-to-back putbacks to force Westminster to call a timeout. The Wolves answered with their own run to end the quarter. Kennedy scored a fast-break basket and then drained a 3-pointer as the two squads ended the first half tied with 28 points each.

Davila challenged his squad at the half, and the Bulldogs responded with a 12-point run.

D’wayne Galery hit a trey, while Wadsworth and Vonau each added a pair of baskets.

However, the Wolves weren’t going away especially with Jones leading the charge. The junior guard and Dre Gayton combined to score seven points in 10 seconds. Jones also added two big treys late in the quarter to cut the deficit to 50-47 going into the final period.

“It was a fun game. Props to Westminster. They weren’t going anywhere,” Davila said. “Our guys played with a lot of heart, and they found a way to win.”
