Westminster council talks homeless issues City staff will come back to council with a plan

BY LUKE ZARZECKI LZARZECKI@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Westminster City Councilor Bruce Baker took some heat after his comments

regarding those experiencing homelessness at a March 21 study session meeting.

“I don’t have any problem with people sleeping in public, my problem is when they drag all their junk to my open space and the sun goes down and the rules say `everybody out unless you’re walking on the trail’ and we don’t do anything,” Baker said.

He also thinks that city staff needs to “defend parks and open space” from the homeless population and that the city has become a social service provider.

Baker criticized the amount of money the city has spent on solving homelessness.

“All we are doing is encouraging them,” he said.

Councilor Rich Seymour

said he has no problem with a compassionate approach to the homeless population, however once a choice is given, then the laws should be enforced.

Mayor Nancy McNally agreed that those experiencing homelessness must follow a certain program to receive help.

To Baker’s comment, Seymour questioned where

those experiencing homelessness would go?

“We can’t just put them on a train to Denver,” Seymour said.

Kate Skarbek, an analyst with Parks, Recreation and Libraries, said while everyone would love to see everyone housed, resources are limited.

ern tanagers, the American avocet, egrets, blue herons, pelicans, gulls, ducks and many other birds stopping by.

And that’s not all.

“It’s not just these birds that you’re going to find here, they change seasonally,” said Sully Tun-Ake, Senior Park Ranger at Standley Lake.

Campaign finance reform was a hot topic once again as seven residents testified about adding more rules and regulations for those hoping to win a seat on Thornton’s council at the March 22 meeting.

“There are very few limitations on campaign finance here in the city,” said Roberta Ayala, a former candidate for city council.

“It’s truly a nonpartisan issue,” City Councilor Julia Marvin said.

“People want a functioning, transparent and trustworthy government and campaign finance regulations is one way we get that, we all really do want a democracy where we all have a voice and we want our elected officials to not be beholden to any particular special interest and held accountable to the voters.”

Marvin also said that local elections have smaller campaign funds than state and federal elections, so

Solar co-op comes to Adams County

BY LUKE ZARZECKI LZARZECKI@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Learning about installing solar power may come easier for residents of Adams County, Northglenn and Westminster who sign up for the new solar co-op.

All three have partnered with the nonprofit Solar United Neighbors to help homeowners and small businesses owners learn and purchase solar panels.

Northglenn Mayor Meredith Leighty talked about the importance of protecting the planet citing her experience as a mayor, educator and mom of two kids at the event’s march 23 kickoff at the Adams County Riverdale Regional Park.

“I want our kids to grow up in a healthy environment,” she said.

She expressed her city’s dedication to tackling the climate crisis and urged crucial haste local municipalities must take in addressing climate change.

One project she recalled is Northglenn City Hall becoming net-zero energy in the future, meaning the building will produce as much energy as it consumes. She hopes residents and businesses will do the same with their own property.

Joining the co-op, she said, gives residents the opportunity to learn more about whether solar makes sense for their situation, without any obligation.

Residents can join the co-op to receive information on how governments and non-profits can assist them with investing in solar panels. As well, electric chargers for electric vehicles are also available through the program.

The deadline to sign up for the co-op is Aug. 10.

“We are not going to achieve our climate goals without investing in solar,” said Jonathan Rogers, a 2020 Denver Solar Co-Op Participant.

The Cost According to Bryce Carter, the

Colorado Program Director for Solar United Neighbors, costs for solar have dropped 90% since 2010.

As well, a 26% federal tax credit for the total cost of the system is available. However, that will go down to 22% in 2023 and 0% in 2025.

With the tax credit, the net cost is around $10,456 with the payback period at 11.8 years, depending on size and energy use.

That is because spare electricity produced by the solar panels, not used by a home or business, can be sold back to the electric grid. The cash credit will show up on electric bills: the total amount of electricity consumed minus the total amount of electricity produced, according to the Co-Ops website.

Common Concerns Living in Colorado, Carter said a concern of snow blocking the sun from reaching the panels is common.

Carter explained that the snow coverage melts or slides off the

panels relatively quickly due to the heat they produce.

For hail, Carter pointed to the 2017 hailstorm in Jefferson County.

Of 3,000 panels his group tracks, only one was damaged due to the hail.

Solar Spaces South-facing roofs are optimum, roofs facing west or east are suitable, he said. But north facing are a no-go for solar panels. There also must be little to no shading from surrounding trees or buildings and at least 200 square feet of roof space to hold the solar panel array.

There are also many different technologies for accommodating different scenarios, including shingles, ground systems and fitting them to accommodate skylight windows.

Connecting the system to homes is relatively easy and is a very standard connection, Carter said. Most homes don’t need any upgrades before adding solar.

Northglenn in favor of a climate action plan

BY LUKE ZARZECKI LZARZECKI@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The theme of Northglenn city council’s study session on March 21? Climate change. With that, consensus giving staff direction to develop a climate action plan.

Council will discuss funding for the item in the 2023 budget.

In addition to Becky Smith, Northglenn’s Planning Manager, presenting on the ins and outs of what a climate action plan could look like, the city’s Sustainability Committee and Fleet Electrification Advisory Program provided an update.

Climate Action Plan Smith began her presentation on the science behind climate change.

She said that a thin layer of Greenhouse Gases surrounds Earth which allow sunlight through. The sunlight hits Earth and infrared radiation bounces back off the surface.

Most infrared radiation escapes back into space, she said, but some is blocked by the Greenhouse Gases,

warming the Earth just enough to sustain life, she said.

However, daily human actions increase the levels of Carbon Dioxide — a Greenhouse Gas — in the atmosphere that traps more of that radiation, ultimately heating the surface more.

Those actions include burning fossil fuels, solid waste, deforestation, livestock and agricultural practices, refrigeration and more, Smith explained.

Transportation tops list She then presented on the 2019 Inventory of Community and Municipal Operations Greenhouse Gas Emissions, which detail where Northglenn’s Greenhouse Gases are coming from.

In the community, 2016 numbers included 44% transportation, 22% commercial, 32% residential, 1% solid waste, 1% water/wastewater and 0.5% fugitive.

She said a little over 2.5% of the city’s emission come from government operations. For government

operations, 2017 numbers included 41% water and wastewater treatment, 23% buildings, 17% street lights, 13% vehicle fleet and 6% employee commute.

She mentioned that much of the transportation emissions come from Interstate 25, which is beyond the control of the city. As well, the water and wastewater treatment plant needs a lot of electricity to run.

Smith also differentiated between climate and weather, and climate change and greenhouse gases.

“Climate is just the average weather in a place over many years,” she said.

Hinting that weather will change from day to day, but climate takes the average of those changes.

“The climate is changing based on global warming,” she said.

According to Smith, climate change is characterized by the changing weather patterns, and also extreme weather events including heatwaves, droughts and “anything considered extreme and unusual.”

“Since the 1950s, our snowpack that is measured in April at different monitoring sites around the city has decreased by 20-60%,” she said.

That affects water availability and agriculture, she said. As well, drought, groundwater flooding, rainstorms, severe hot days, severe wind, hail and changing seasonal patterns all impact Northglenn, including property and infrastructure costs.

Next steps With the evidence of climate change, she presented the steps of developing a plan.

The first would determine a baseline, which would calculate current energy consumption and find where the resulting greenhouse gas emissions are.

Then goals are set, with reduction targets and timeframes all at play, including long-term goals for the big picture matched with specific shortterm goals to meet the long-term.

The game plan comes next with strategies, like carpooling, planting trees, energy efficient buildings and improving waste programs all serving as possibilities.

Those strategies would be modeled to see how much impact they would actually have.

Next comes resiliency to see how the city can prepare for possible climate events in the future, such as drought or heat waves. What infrastructure needs to be updated, updating emergency response plans and encouraging efficient water use all fall into this step.

Then comes monitoring the progress of the plan, which would cultivate into a prioritized schedule for implementing selected strategies and monitoring progress. Smith said a climate action plan is a living document, so it is never done.

Finally, the city presents its plan to residents and gets feedback.

“Actions won’t be successful unless you have buy-in and are inclusive of your community,” she said “Climate change can exacerbate existing challenges for your residents.”

Engaging residents in the formation and execution of the climate action plan is key, Smith said.

Not cheap She said the average bill for climate action plans are $150,000, which include costs of public engagement and modeling to determine actions needed to achieve

reduction goals.

However, the cost is more or less depending on how much public engagement is included and how much modeling is needed. Smith noted that past reports could be used to bring down the modeling costs, but based on how many strategies need to be modeled, the cost could rise.

And, Smith noted the potential savings for the city due to better preparedness for future climate disasters.

City Councilor Julie Duran Mullica asked how long the process would take, and Smith said about a year, depending on public engagement. She also encouraged Northglenn to team up with neighboring cities to make it a regional effort, including groups like the Tri-County Health Department and Excel Energy.

Mullica also said it’s important to include many diverse community stakeholders, noting that Northglenn is mostly a blue-collar community and some residents’ jobs could be at stake if policy isn’t written carefully.

Mayor Pro Tem Jenny Wilford agreed and noted conversations locally and statewide need to happen to brainstorm how to achieve a just transition to renewable energy.

“We don’t want to see the people that have chosen to make their lives here with us have to move because they’ve lost their livelihood,” Wilford said.

She wants to get the wheels rolling sooner rather than later.

“I don’t want to wait until 2023 because there is so much work to do,” she said.

City Manager Heather Geyer said a Sustainability Coordinator would help move the process along, but she is not budgeted to hire one until 2023.

Mayor Meredith Leighty and City Councilor Becky Brown both raised concern starting this year because of the lack of funding.

Electric Fleet Rob Webber, Operations Manager for Northglenn Public Works, presented on how the city is moving their vehicle fleet from fossilfuel powered vehicles to primarily electric-powered vehicles.

To assess which vehicles it makes sense to switch over, an assessment paid for by Xcel Energy will be completed. This will see which fossil fuel vehicles have any value to sell, which are old enough to retire, which make sense to keep and how effective the electric vehicles will be in comparison to gas powered.

From this report, Webber urged council to consider the results when they are making their vehicle replacement schedule.

Sustainability Committee Update Renata Trisiliwat, Co-Chair of the Sustainability Committee, presented two main priorities for the committee in 2022: solid waste optimization and to set carbon emissions and climate goals in the sustainability plan.

Trisiliwat said that nearly 90% of single-family households’ waste from 2017-2020 went to landfills.

“This shows that the recycling program is not optimum,” she said.

She said that landfills generate methane gas, pollute groundwater

and make for an unattractive area.

To solve this problem, she recommended a better recycling program and a composting program, promoting residents to reduce, repurpose and reuse, and to collect more data on where the waste is coming from.

The second priority, she explained, is to update the sustainability plan with “policies to help the City build resiliency to the biggest climate change risks and threats,” and “post-Covid 19 recovery plans that rebuild the economy and help people rebuild their lives in a green way.”

IPCC Report The meeting comes after the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) released their 2nd part of the Sixth Assessment Report, Climate Change 2022: Impacts, Adaptation and Vulnerability on Feb. 28. The report comes as a dire warning about the consequences of inaction, according to a press release from the IPCC. Dr. Lauren Gifford, an Affiliate Faculty in the Department of Earth & Atmospheric Sciences at Metropolitan State University of Denver and who assisted the authors of the report, said that local municipalities play a huge role in combating climate change.

Northglenn Mayor Meredith Leighty said in an interview their council keeps climate change at the forefront of their conversations while making decisions.

“The best work happens at the municipal level,” she said. “We’re able to impact change a little more directly and then if we can impact change together, then we’re going to make a significant difference.”

This joyous story of unexpected

friendship finds the fabulous in everyone!

HOMELESS FROM PAGE 1

“When these people go into our open space and we allow it, that’s just wrong, these are scary things they are doing to the neighbors,” Baker said.

Baker also said that those experiencing homelessness have gone through the “system” many times but don’t want to take on the same responsibilities as the general population. He doesn’t think funding homeless initiatives is a core service of the city.

“A lot of them cannot be fixed, they aren’t going to be able to reenter our society” he said.

City Councilor Obi Ezeadi, as well as Mayor Pro David Tem DeMott and Seymour, said the problem needs to be solved at the source.

“The solution out of this

March 31, 2022 is not to ban the encampments,” Ezeadi said. “That just moves the problem into a different neighborhood” DeMott said he sees the issue differently than Baker due to his past experiences.

“This is their stuff, this is their life, I don’t know if you’ve ever been in a situation where you’re living paycheck to paycheck and you lose your job, but I have, I have some empathy for what we’re looking at,” DeMott.

He supports giving resources to those who don’t have the capability to do certain things to be able to live life on their own.

“I think the majority of those paying taxes in Westminster would be behind that,” he said.

DeMott also emphasized that building more housing and affordable housing will not solve the issue but said it’s very complex.

a large donation has greater weight because it takes up a larger percentage of the war chest.

Marvin and a group of residents want limits on campaign contributions, eliminating anonymous donations, public financing for campaigns, strengthening dark money coordination restrictions and add-

encampments in the city, and said the needles, drug use and other activities are not humane for the businesses and those living in the apartments surrounding the encampments.

She echoed Baker’s call for enforcement of curfews at parks and open spaces.

As well, she noted that faith-based organizations have opportunities for everyone, like meals.

Homelessness Info Tomas Herrera-Mishler, Westminster’s Parks Recreation and Libraries director, gave a presentation on what services the city provides and what resources are available.

Initiatives from the city include access to Colorado Legal Services, which gives legal advice to tenants facing eviction to prevent eviction before it happens, Colorado PEAK to apply for federal

ing teeth to enforcement policies.

Kate Miya, a Thornton resident, teacher and a former candidate for city council, noted in her public comment that if someone wanted to give one million dollars to a candidate, they could.

At a study session on March 8, City Councilor Adam Matkowsky said he would only be in favor of city staff investigating the matter if “a lot more than 50” residents were in favor.

City staff also hired a Homeless Navigator in 2020.

This person helps those experiencing homelessness obtain housing and provides immediate aid.

Herrera-Mishler said the Homeless Navigator helps prevent homelessness, is housing-focused, refers to cross-sectional partners and provides immediate needs.

They do not do enforcement, abatement and are not a complaint line for the housed community.

also said she was not in favor.

“I think there is already a lot of campaign reform,” Sandgren said.

“I don’t support putting staff energy into this right now.”

Big donor influence Owen Perkins, President of CleanSlateNow Action, thinks that a candidate’s campaign fund should be almost 100% from individual donors. Anything lower than that, he thinks a candidate starts to become influenced by big donors.

To achieve a higher percentage of individual donors, he points to Aurora who recently passed a referendum to put a limit on contributions, $400 per constituent for council members and $1,000 for mayor and at-large members. As well, no corporate donations are allowed.

“In the election before they passed reforms, they had one candidate who was over 90% from individuals and in the most recent election last November, I think it was six out of 13 candidates were over 90%,” he said.

Individual Donors CleanSlateNow Action completes reports on municipalities’ elections to find how much money a candidate receives, the percentage of individual donors, how much money the candidate put in their own campaign, and other statistics.

The process, he said, is very tedious and labor-intensive.

“Taking the information from a PDF and putting it into a way that you can sort it,” he said.

He said the reports are credible, and all the information is from the city clerk or Secretary of State.

The website lists the 2021 city council candidates’ percentages of individual donors: Karen Bigelow, 82.83%; Kate Miya, 79.79%; Roberta Ayala, 73.81%; Jessica Sandgren, 65.68%; Kathy Henson, 53.07%; Angie Bedolla, 44.66% and Tony Unrein 36.79%.

The total amount of money in the election was $186,458.99. The amount of money from individual donors was $121,760.92, which is about 65%.

Comparing other cities CleanSlateNow Action also runs

In 2017, the number of homeless individuals in Westminster was about 110, Herrera-Mishler said. Right now, there are at least 200 individuals engaged with the Homeless Navigator.

He also said those experiencing homelessness in the seven-county Denver Metro area doubled for the first time in 2021 from the previous year.

Herrera-Mishler said the population appears to be in increasing and the soon-tobe-published census will help see the scope of the problem Herrera-Mishler said the number one cause is the high price of housing compared to wages. The Median per capita annual income in Westminster is $38,188. An affordable rent for that income would be about $950 a month. The median monthly rent in Westminster is $1,801 a month.

models that follow candidates’ money through different scenarios.

Perkins ran models on 2021 Thornton candidates’ campaign funds using the city of Aurora’s donation limits and the Denver match donation program. In Denver, he said a matching program exists where a donation will be matched 9-1.

“If I contribute $10 to somebody, it’s matched with a $90 contribution from public funds to become a $100 contribution,” he said.

Perkins emphasized that the projections are speculative and rough.

“Candidates would presumably take a different approach to fundraising under the new system if it were in effect, i.e., emphasizing the importance of small-dollar donations, giving up the reliance on corporate and big-dollar donations, emphasizing in-city contributions,” he said.

The results are as follows.

Jessica Sandgren, total contributions $32,677. With Aurora limits, $11,110 and with Denver match $11,110.

Roberta Ayala, total contributions $18,513.99. With Aurora limits, $12,114.99 and with Denver match $68,274.99.

Tony Unrein, total contributions $33,325.99. With Aurora limits, $13,719.99 and with Denver match $13,719.99.

Kate Miya, total contributions $18,047.92. With Aurora limits, $12,769.54 and with Denver match $67,032.70.

Kathy Henson, total contributions $21,740. With Aurora limits, $15,290 and with Denver match, $31,035.

Angie Bedolla, total contributions $36,172, with Aurora limits $9,955 and with Denver match $9,955.

Karen Bigelow, total contributions $25,982.02, with Aurora limits $18,332.02 and with Denver match $32,237.02.

Perkins emphasized that he “wouldn’t recommend using the projections to make comparative judgments on the candidates, other than to illustrate the general picture of how reforms affect candidates who have been relying on larger donations and corporate donations vs. those who are relying on small-dollar donors from primarily natural persons.”

BIRD CAM FROM PAGE 1

In the winter, mostly waterfowl birds hang around the popular birding destination, like Canada Geese, joining resident raptors and Osprey, she said.

As well, moose sometimes swim and make their way to Bird Island.

The camera replaces the previous location, which was filming an eagle’s nest in the park. However, due to the trauma those eagles endured the past few years and federal regulations, the new nests are unable to be filmed.

A Dedicated Convocation In the past, residents were able to watch the beloved Bald Eagles in the park, but the camera had to be moved due to a troubling trauma the convocation of eagles residing in the park endured during the last few years, according to Tun-Ake. The cam had filmed live on an eagle’s nest in the park up until 2020, when the tragic events began.

“It’s 2020 and that’s when we’re all like `man, to make matters worse,’ we’re already going through a hard time,” she said.

The mother bird, who lived in the park for 6-7 years, laid her eggs in the nest and only a week into the hatching, another bigger, stronger female eagle brutally attacked her.

Tun-Ake knew about the event from dedicated bird watchers who saw the attack overnight.

The attack was brutal and she said the eagle was very vocal, and credits

the dedicated convocation of camviewers for alerting her to the event.

“It was like Citizen Science without us asking for it, which was beautiful,“ she said.

As sad as it was, Tun-Ake said this happens due to hormones, which fuels the new females to look for new territory.

After the fight, the male called for the original mate to take care of their hatched child and she never responded. Tun-Ake said that likely meant she had fled the area.

Due to it’s age, the baby Eaglet required constant care from either the Mom or Dad However, due to hunger, the male needed to leave the nest. He returned after two hours but his baby had died.

“That was another traumatic thing for the public because the Eaglet got picked off by another bird,” she said.

The following year, the male had accepted the new female and they mated. In the winter of 2020, the pair began showing nesting behavior, Tun-Ake said, but tragedy struck again: a huge wind storm on Dec. 23 collapsed the nest.

They recovered and soldiered on, ultimately adapting to a new nest the park built in 1993. Eggs were laid. Unfortunately, another windy day came and the branch with the nest completely broke off. The eaglets that hatched didn’t survive.

“They were mourning after we took the eaglet out of the nesting area,” she said. “They came back for weeks calling to that little one.”

Seeking refuge Now, those eagles have relocated

deep into the refuge area and TunAke said park staff will be giving them needed space after a couple of traumatic years.

Austin Cox, a spokesperson for the City of Westminster, also said federal regulations require a certain amount of distance between park officials and nesting eagles which prevents them from placing a camera on their new nest.

“That’s just how nature is you’re going to see the good and you’re going to see the bad,” Tun-Ake said.

Risks to Birds The birds in the park are very lucky to be in a wildlife-protected area, Tun-Ake said. However, that doesn’t come with full immunity; birds must adapt to changes in their habitat.

Water levels are one of them. Low levels can create a land bridge to Bird Island, making easy access for predators to walk across. Human irresponsibility exists too, with fishing lines and lures catching onto birds.

“We constantly have to rescue birds that are tangled up in fishing line,” she said.

As well, habitat loss due to climate remains a risk factor, and what’s in the habitat. She pointed to the possibility of lead poisoning in birds.

“It can get into the soil, it gets into the aquatic plants, the fish eat the plants, and it kind of goes into this whole cycle,” she said.

One instance of weird behaviors coming from a newly born eaglet worried the rangers of possible lead poisoning. The eaglet eventually grew out of the struggles and no

lead testing was done to see if there was a small dose, but lead poisoning always remains a possibility.

“There are severe cases, which we haven’t seen in our Eagles, where it can lead to death. And I mean it kind of shuts down their whole system and gives them seizures when there’s a high doses in eagles. And it’s not just (in) eagles,” she said.

Raptors, she said, are constantly affected by lead nationwide. The lead can come from hunting ammo, fishing sinkers and lures.

“We haven’t really had a huge die off that we can say (lead is) a threat but we definitely know what’s out there,” she said.

Westminster tests for lead in Standley Lake and Andy Le, a spokesperson for the City of Westminster, said that lead levels are very low.

“The City tests for lead in Standley quarterly and it remains below testing limits or essentially undetectable,” he said.

Importance of Birds Tun-Ake said the birds are a key signal for the health of the area.

“They tell us a lot about our environment, whether we are doing the right thing, is our ecosystem healthy,” she said.

She pointed to the controversy between Bald Eagles and DDT, which said are one of the great American conservation success stories.

“They’re much more than just beautiful birds. They tell us when there’s something going on in our environment, and that’s why I think they’re, they’re amazing,” she said. “And it’s not just birds. It’s just in general with nature.”

Colorado parks are full and getting fuller How will the state decide who gets in, and who gets hurt?

BY MICHAEL BOOTH THE COLORADO SUN

Colorado Parks and Wildlife says state parks closest to the Front Range, including Staunton State Park southwest of Denver, which opened in 2013, are being loved to death, as people seek quick access to wild and scenic areas, such as Elk Falls.

PHOTO BY LARRY RYCKMAN/THE COLORADO SUN

If anybody could work the system and get access to wildly popular open space this summer, you’d think Colorado Parks and Wildlife Commissioner Taishya Adams would have a good shot.

But there she is, just like everyone else, penciling early March on her planner as the day she can first swing sharp elbows online to get summer group backpacking reservations at Rocky Mountain National Park, not far from her home in Boulder.

“I’ve had it marked in my calendar for six months,” Adams told her fellow commissioners last week. She endorsed a new timed entry proposal for Eldorado Canyon State Park, where overflowing parking lots on weekends back up onto lawns in the little town of Eldorado Springs.

But she added a warning message: Intergenerational families love the big picnic areas at Eldorado and other state parks. They come in more than one car. Managing crowds by managing cars should not shut out diverse uses of state open space.

“I would hate to see that become a barrier,” Adams said.

Up, up and away Everyone agrees Colorado’s open spaces are growing alarmingly crowded on popular days. The numbers are startling.

Visitation at close-in Front Range state parks has doubled or nearly tripled. Sprawling Lake Pueblo had to turn away cars for the first time in 2020, the year it passed 3 million visitors. Jefferson County Open Space does not have gated entry for counting, but believes visitation to its 28 foothills gems passed 7 million last year.

Staunton State Park near Conifer rocketed from 89,000 in 2015 to 277,000 in 2020. Barr Lake in Brighton, a hit with birders and flatland

bikers, went from 119,000 in 2015 to 258,000 in 2020, before settling back a bit with indoor pandemic restrictions easing in 2021. Open space officials expect use to keep climbing rapidly, if not quite as steeply as in the first year of the pandemic.

but rather increase it by conserving more land and removing barriers to entry from those who feel excluded or unable to access the outdoors,” said Jackie Ostfeld, director of Sierra Club’s Outdoors for All campaign.

“The threat of overuse poses in these small spots, and it is a legitimate threat, is miniscule compared to the threat posed by development,” Weiss said.

Anecdotal evidence and polling data show the online ticket jockeying and the turned-away cars, from Pueblo to Roxborough, are altering the way Coloradans use — or try to use — the great outdoors.

About 58% of Coloradans said crowding in the last two to three years has changed where and how they recreate, according to this year’s annual State of the Rockies Project poll of Western states by Colorado College and New Bridge Strategy. The average across all eight Western states polled was 48% changing their time and location of outdoor recreation.

Larimer County hiker Suzy Paquette said she understands the need for control experiments like timed entry, but added that the online regimen started at Rocky Mountain National Park last year did change how she and her husband get outdoors.

Even on weekdays in the summer, the national park passes are “gone like lickety split,” she said.

“So that’s one of the problems, you can’t just say ‘Oh, let’s go to the park today.’”

It’s not just the human visitors and residents whose behavior and attitudes are impacted by the outdoors rush, said Dana Bove, a volunteer who helps keep track of eagles and hawks at places like Barr Lake, St. Vrain, Boyd Lake and county parks. He feels he’s lost his own “solace” in the crowded parking lots and packed trails, but worries more about the birds.

“These days, most of my walks on the trails where we live are at dusk or in the evening,” Bove said. He can choose to walk later, but he said, “wildlife is not so fortunate, as they have already moved away or been displaced from the ever increasing human traffic.”

The outdoors are turning into an overcrowded theme park Pueblo is proud that people come from all over to boat on Lake Pueblo, swim at Rock Canyon, or mountain bike on dozens of miles of trails, said Jamie Valdez, who has led mountain bike classes at the state park. Pueblo gets less snow, and the warm winter sunshine attracts recreation from multiple states, he said.

Valdez has his eye now on the city’s Pueblo Mountain Park, with its own hiking trails in the foothills southwest of town sitting as a hidden gem.

“It’s a beautiful, beautiful park, and it seems to be almost forgotten,” he said.

The nonprofit Boulder Climbing Community weighed in early on the proposed changes to how Eldorado Canyon is managed, knowing many of its members go dozens of times a year and count on driving, rolling or striding in just a few minutes after

class or work.

To their credit, Boulder County and the state have consulted closely with climbers on improving the shuttle to the park and making sure timed car passes aren’t hoarded or sold, said Boulder Climbing Community executive director Kate Beezley.

The shuttles have spaces for climbers’ crash pads and other gear.

Robert Fix of Westminster and Mike Wright of Boulder prepare to go climbing at Eldorado Canyon State Park in Eldorado Springs on March 4. (Olivia Sun, The Colorado Sun via Report for America) Robert Fix of Westminster and Mike Wright of Boulder prepare to go climbing on March 4, 2022, at Eldorado Canyon State Park in Eldorado Springs. (Olivia Sun, The Colorado Sun via Report for America) More controlled-entry rules for open space are inevitable, Beezley said, so parks managers need to make sure they consider all the user groups and keep things fair.

“Who is the primary user group?

Who are your frequent flyers? And how can you help them maintain those patterns of their health and well-being?” she said.

Parks managers flinch when they think of the potential overuse coming to stunningly picturesque, newly minted state parks like Sweetwater Lake in Garfield County, and Fishers Peak near Trinidad. Weiss, of the Center for Western Priorities, uses the word “harden” to describe how open space planners must anticipate the places a frenzied public will park, hike, build fires or camp, and create protections for those natural areas.

Marketing experts also must join in to help spread people out by showcasing alternatives to the closest, most Instagrammed locations, experts say.

Otherwise, Weiss said, the great outdoors becomes “this massive Disneyland problem that you end up with at Zion National Park, or at Chautauqua for that matter. There’s a lot to be said for making sure folks are aware, hey, there are equally great if not better experiences, because it’s less crowded.”

Angel’s Landing at Zion is one of Weiss’ favorite spots. But it’s no fun, he said, “If it looks like the line to ‘Pirates of the Caribbean.’”

Looking for other solutions So what else can be done? Scott Roush, who oversees some of the busiest Colorado state parks close to the Denver metro area, said park users should expect more experiments with timed entry like the one moving forward for Eldorado Canyon this summer.

Highline Lake State Park is a place managers worry about, he said.

Parking lots fill fast on weekends at the rare body of water in the high desert near Grand Junction. Without more parking controls, people leave their cars wherever they feel like it, just as at Eldorado Canyon, Roush said.

Jeffco Open Space is adding new parking spaces at Alderfer/Three Sisters Park outside Evergreen, community connections director Matt Robbins said. That may head off “volunteer” parking. Jefferson County also puts stock in educating park users on simple, highly effective tips like staying on the trail even in mud season. Hikers sidestepping mud create “braiding” that turns single track into 4-foot-wide through-

ways, Robbins said.

Charging for parking or timed ticketing are tougher, Robbins said, because Jeffco does not have controlled entry at its 28 parks in the way national or state parks do. The county did try an experiment last year partnering with Lyft for $2.50 off rides to and from open space parks. It was a bust, Robbins said.

Federal, state and county cooperation is key to pulling off more successful management techniques, said Dan Gibbs, executive director of the Colorado Department of Natural Resources. Gibbs lives in Breckenridge, where one of the busiest 14,000-foot peaks in the state, Quandary, beckons from the south.

County officials worked with the U.S. Forest Service to implement a reservation system for county-owned lots at Quandary’s base, and a shuttle system for remote parking areas.

“In these high-usage areas, I think that’s going to be the future, whether it’s on state lands or federal lands,” Gibbs said.

Roush said some state parks planners are interested in trying technology aids like Lot Spot, a smartphone app that Jeffco uses to provide real time updates on park crowding and can recommend a nearby alternative.

State parks are much more spread out, though, than county open space, and alternate choices may not be practical.

The public appears to be adapting to shuttle use as a way to control car overcrowding, and park planners have noticed. Eldorado’s shuttle system will run again in 2022. Shuttles to Rocky Mountain National Park’s Bear Lake are now an essential part of park operations. Buses now operate to control entry to Maroon Bells and Hanging Lake. Expect more.

“Do we have an actual numberof-people problem, or do we have a number-of-cars problem? Because there are different solutions there,” Weiss said. “And shuttles are of course part of that.”

Another part could be other public transportation, added Weiss, who lives in Jefferson County. “Here, there are no RTD routes that get you to open spaces. That’s a problem.”

Open space managers at all levels of government are doing a better job consulting with each other and with private businesses expert in usage information and technology aids, said Tate Watkins, a research fellow at Montana’s free market oriented Property and Environment Research Center.

Reservation systems at Arches and Rocky Mountain national parks are closely watched by state and county parks managers, Watkins said.

Technology companies can offer ideas on counting parking space use, “frequent flyer” perks, and integrating real-time crowding information on apps that can spread out park visitors.

Backcountry users of Great Smoky Mountains National Park — which saw 14.1 million visitors in 2021 — initially balked years ago at implementing a $4 reservation fee for remote camping spots, Watkins noted. Now they think it’s a bargain, and are relieved to know there’s a spot open for them at the end of their day.

“There’s just an infinite amount of creativity and opportunity for experiment,” he said.

Some wild urban getaways to get outdoors OUTDOOR LIVING

F

ew populated urban areas have more opportunities for the outdoors experience than the Front Range Denver metro community. We enjoy countless learning experiences at three national wildlife refuges totaling more than 20,000 acres managed by the US Fish & Wildlife Service. Additionally, there are a variety of park facilities served by the State of Colorado and local communities offering trail systems, water sports and nature education programs for adults, children, and families.

These parks, open space and environmental centers have created and preserved virtually all outdoors offerings and most with little or no cost or fees. Of the fortytwo statewide Colorado parks ten are close and convenient to the population centers.

As spring approaches, facility managers are preparing calendas and events and inviting the public to get involved. Some of the wide variety of programs will be held more than one time to encourage visitors the opportunity to find convenient time to be involved.

Here is a partial view of upcoming events at Colorado’s Barr Lake Nature

The Barr Lake Nature Center contact is 303-659-6005.

Outdoors fun and learning continue as we view the differing events offered at the neighboring US Wildlife Refuges, which are celebrating their birthday March 14th.

Special programs include the April 2nd opening of the Refuge Fishing season, the opening of Derby Trail and Earth Day, April 22.

The expanding Refuge trails take visitors near the three eagle nests which again this year, are showing activity as the adults’

and less access to technology.

Fees are adding up at every level, Eldorado Canyon hiker Jeff Paquette said.

“So now you have the annual pass for your state, the annual pass for your county, and before you know it, it’s going to be for all open space,” he said.

The Sierra Club is among those fighting for more open space and recreation opportunities closer to

repair nests and ready them for eggs and incubation. Another gain witnessed at the Rocky Mountain Arsenal National Wildlife Refuge is the expanding population of the protected black-footed ferret. Out of the estimated three hundred protected ferrets, our local Refuge ferret population has grown to fifty.

The Denver area US Refuges (Commerce City, Arvada and Westminster) focus on wildlife observation, trail views of plants and wildlife and the growing popularity of bird watching. The recently opened 12mile Wild Drive roadway is fast becoming popular as it is opening viewing and photography of small and large wildlife such as coyote, whitetail and mule deer and the popular bison herd. The bison family has grown to over one hundred since their introduction at the Refuge in the mid-1990s.

cities, Ostfeld said. By Sierra Club’s definition of “nearby,” 100 million Americans lack easy access to open space.

“We must be very careful to ensure that the actions of public land managers don’t perpetuate the status quo, with many communities already feeling unwelcome or unsafe in some of our national and more remote parks and public lands,” Ostfeld said.

Being mindful of everyone’s time and resources is key to designing open space access, Weiss said.

“One thing we’ve learned from all of this is that any sort of time system where a clock turns over and everyone is mashing a button to try to get in, that is not fair and equitable,” he said. Some space needs to be reserved for lottery or last-minute access for those whose lives can’t revolve around one reservation

window.

Colorado leaders say they are aware of all these pitfalls and will keep working to avoid them. The new $29 state parks pass linked to motor vehicle registration will bring in money to add new parks, experiment with reservations, expand shuttle systems and more, DNR’s Gibbs said.

He said he still prefers to look at access as a good problem to have.

“In the long run,” Gibbs said, “we want people to get outdoors. I mean, this is Colorado.”

Denver transfers 33 bison to tribal nations in an effort to bolster and conserve herds Herds are from Douglas and Jefferson counties

BY KYLE COOKE, BRIAN WILLIE ROCKY MOUNTAIN PBS

On a snowy, blustery March morning, Denver Parks and Recreation (DPR) donated 17 bison yearlings to the Cheyenne and Arapaho Tribes in Oklahoma.

The bison had been staying at two of the Denver Mountain Parks: Genesee Park in Golden and Daniels Park in Douglas County.

“This is what we should’ve been doing for decades as owners and as stewards of these wonderful animals: returning them, as we have nurtured them and raised them, but returning them back to our Indigenous leaders of this land, the caretakers of this land,” said Denver Mayor Michael Hancock, who spoke at the March 21 event at Genesee Park.

According to DPR, this year is the first time in “recent history” that Denver is not holding a bison auction; that tradition ended last year when the department said it would instead “select tribes across the country that will accept the bison to build and enhance conservation herds on tribal lands.”

In total, Denver is transferring 33 bison this year: 15 to the Northern

Arapaho Tribe in Wyoming; 17 to the Cheyenne and Arapaho Tribes in Oklahoma (which happened Monday); and one to the Tall Bull Memorial Council in Colorado.

Jordan Dresser is a member of the Northern Arapaho Tribe in Wyoming. He was at Monday’s event at Genesee Park.

“Being able to reclaim the bison is a big moment for us because it’s taking back what was taken from us,” Dresser said.

American Bison used to roam North American grasslands in massive herds but were nearly extinct in the 19th century due to commercial hunting and diseases. By 1900, there were fewer than 1,000 bison in existence, according to DPR. On March 22, there are about 31,000 free-range wild bison in North America. DPR operates two bison herds in the name of conservation: one at Genesee Park and another at Daniels Park. The herd was first established at City Park by the Denver Zoo, but moved to Genesee Park in 1914 and expanded to Daniels Park in 1938.

DPR’s executive director Happy Haynes said she hoped the bison transfer shows “a commitment to working to dismantle the ongoing legacies of oppression and inequities and recognize the current and future contributions of Indigenous communities in Denver and Colorado.”

“Oppression and inequity is built over hundreds of years, and it can be dismantled piece by piece,” added City Councilwoman Jamie Torres, who represents District 3 in Denver.

Various Colorado officials have made recent efforts to preserve the country’s bison population. In addition to DPR’s bison transfer last year, Governor Jared Polis and U.S. Rep. Joe Neguse (D-Boulder) recently asked the U.S. Department of the Interior to put a stop to the National Park Service’s plan to kill a dozen bison in Grand Canyon National Park. Polis and Neguse were unsuccessful.

lessons from Indigenous peoples’ treatment of bison.

“The bison was important to us not only for our cultural ways but also for everyday use. We used the bison for meat, also for household items. We utilized every single part of the body. So that’s important for today’s world because we live in a society that’s so wasteful.”

Local school committed to training for both mind and body

BY KATHLEEN DUNLAP SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA

Heather Feigt’s training at Seo’s Martial Arts in Arvada began four years ago. She and her son, Mason, signed up for classes together. Neither has been the same since joining. The training has focused Feigt’s mind and body, she said, giving her a healthy sense of self.

“My son’s favorite part is doing flips in demo class,” she comments.

“But he also really enjoys being a part of a like-minded community.”

Duan Whitworth, another student at the Arvada facility, agrees with Feigt.

“Martial Arts was totally foreign to me,” says Whitworth.

Whitworth joined in early 2021, looking for a place to strengthen her body and increase mobility.

“I have met people that I enjoy talking to and feel like I’ve made friends,” says Whitworth. “I was thinking about leaving Colorado, but then I joined Seo’s.”

Way of the Path of Life Whitworth said she found a community there that is both positive and supportive of her goals. That’s a vital component for Seo’s Martial Arts school in Arvada, Westminster, and Lakewood, according to Master Matt O’Halloran.

The school has focused on training both the body and the mind by teaching the concepts of Korean-

based Martial Art “Tang Su Doo”, for 23 years.

O’Halloran oversees both the Arvada and Westminster locations and has been trained in Tang Su Doo since he was a teenager. The name Tang Su Doo means the `way of the path of life, O’Halloran said.

He cites the benefits of training to include promoting longer life, a healthy heart, and mental conditioning. Participants in the school’s program agree to attend classes at least twice a week, learn Student Creeds, and specific curriculum for each Belt level.

“We are a school for every stage of life, from 2 years old to 80 years old and beyond,” O’Halloran said.

O’Halloran said he has seen an uptick of interest in martial arts so far this year. COVID-19 impacted the school’s attendance and enrollment, but now, “we’re almost getting back to normal,” O’Halloran said.

Seo’s gears its schedule to whole families training together, as they offer separated adult and children’s classes but also mixed classes where both adults and children can attend the same class.

More adults and teenagers are signing up for classes because of the school’s focus on developing a positive self-image.

Each Belt level has a specific “Word of the Belt” statement which are memorized by students. These statements range in titles from “Positive Self-Esteem” to “Positive

Self-Motivation.

“We are working not just on physical strength and health but on character traits like honesty and integrity,” O’Halloran said.

O’Halloran said he wants people to come to the school to try out classes in their free trial program and experience a sense of community for themselves. He understands that newcomers may feel nervous or intimidated while training with a Black Belt instructor, so he instructs his staff to go the extra mile in welcoming everyone who comes to class. This approach seems to be generating success for the school.

“One of our teenage girl students told me that she likes to come here because she doesn’t feel judged,” says Master O’Halloran.

Whitworth agreed.

“The instructors are kind and patient with me, even when I don’t get it right away,” she said. “They don’t make me feel bad about myself.”

Feigt hopes more people continue to join the martial arts community.

“If someone asks me why I do it, I would tell them about my outlet to keep my mind and body healthy.

I can have my worst day, and sometimes, the only thing that will clear my mind is my training.”

Bill to protect workers who use cannabis fails House Bill 1152 was rejected on a 12-1 committee vote

BY JESSE PAUL THE COLORADO SUN

A Colorado House committee voted down a bill that sought to stop employers from denying

jobs to or firing workers for their off-the-clock cannabis use, either medical or recreational.

House Bill 1152 also sought to require employers to let their employees consume medical marijuana while on the job. The legislation included exceptions for workers whose jobs are in dangerous fields or require fine motor skills, such as positions involving

the use of heavy machinery.

The bill was rejected on a 12-1 vote in the House Business Affairs and Labor Committee on March 23 afternoon even after the measure’s sponsor, Rep. Edie Hooton, a Boulder Democrat, offered an amendment to dramatically scale back the legislation before the vote was taken.

The amendment, which was ad-

opted, would have erased all of the a bill’s provisions and instead con- e m vened a panel to study the issue and make recommendations to the legislature about how employers n can accommodate medical mari- m juana users. But even that wasn’t t enough for lawmakers on the committee, who were concerned about w t o SEE MARIJUANA, P11 v m t

Colorado is reshaping early childhood Some school districts are nervous about proposed changes

BY ANN SCHIMKE CHALKBEAT COLORADO

As Colorado prepares to launch free universal preschool, lawmakers are taking up legislation that could reshape Colorado’s early childhood landscape and reverberate for decades to come.

Many advocates and early educators laud the changes laid out in the bill, including the creation of a new state early childhood agency, saying it will elevate the profile of early childhood issues, cut red tape for families and providers, and dramatically expand preschool access.

But the plan also has prompted concerns about how school district roles could change and whether they’ll be left serving a disproportionate share of students with special needs. And some early childhood leaders worry about how fast the process is moving, how many details are unresolved, and whether there are enough providers to meet new enrollment demands.

Angela Fedler, who heads several early childhood programs for the Delta County School District in western Colorado, said, “I love the idea of universal preschool. I believe in the idea of universal preschool.

I do have some fears around it as

any move toward forcing employers to allow their employees to use marijuana on or off the job.

Many in the business community are fiercely opposed to the measure and testified in opposition to it on March 2.

“I wasn’t surprised,” Hooton, who has brought similar legislation for several years, said of the outcome. “I got a lot of very, very valuable feedback about how we might be able to move forward in the future.”

The question of whether the use of cannabis off the clock can disqualify a person for a job or lead to their firing has been swirling in Colorado since voters passed Amendment 64 in 2012, which legalized the sale and use of recreational cannabis. Most states that have lifted prohibitions on pot leave the question of how to handle employees’ marijuana use up to employers, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures.

Nevada and New Jersey are two exceptions. In New Jersey, employers can prohibit employees from using cannabis while on the job or from showing up to work impaired. But they are not allowed to penalize an employee solely because of their off-the-clock recreational cannabis use.

In 2015, the Colorado Supreme Court sided with Dish Network,

well.”

“We’re moving really fast for such a big jump,” she said.

Bill Jaeger, vice president of early childhood and policy initiatives for the Colorado Children’s Campaign, said of the legislation, “There’s a lot of reimagining of the early childhood system to make it child-, family-, and provider-focused and break down those silos, and that requires significant statutory change.

“There is a degree of urgency,” he said, noting that some of the bill’s provisions need to get underway as soon as possible.

State lawmakers recently moved up the department’s July 1 start date to this spring. The governor likely will name an executive director in the coming weeks. Among other things, the department will roll out universal preschool in the summer of 2023. The initiative, funded largely with a voter-approved nicotine tax, is a top priority for Polis.

Scott Smith, chief financial and operating officer for the Cherry Creek school district, said his district supports universal preschool but noted the state had “some blind spots and some missteps” in planning, including leaving too small a role for school district leaders during the early stages.

“Not including school people from the beginning really left us behind,” he said.

Smith and other school district leaders said state officials have recently held regular meetings to gather feedback from district staff.

which fired an employee, Brandon Coats, after he tested positive for tetrahydrocannabinol – or THC – in a random drug test. Coats had a medical marijuana card as a result of back spasms caused by his quadriplegia. Muscle spasms are one of the seven debilitating conditions for which medical marijuana can be recommended under Colorado law.

The closely watched case highlighted Colorado’s pot paradox: Marijuana is legal but consuming it can still be grounds for termination.

Amendment 64 included the following provision: “Nothing in this (ballot measure) is intended to require an employer to permit or accommodate the use, consumption, possession, transfer, delay, transportation, sale or growing of marijuana in the workplace to affect the ability of employers to have policies restriction the use of marijuana by employees.”

Amendment 20, the 2000 ballot initiative allowing medical marijuana sales and use in Colorado, included a provision about how it does not “require any employer to accommodate the medical use of marijuana in any workplace.”

Big changes for school districts Right now, about a quarter of Colorado’s 4-year-olds attend statefunded preschool, which serves children with certain risk factors.

More than three-quarters of those slots are housed in school district classrooms. Most other children attend preschool elsewhere, in child care centers or private preschools, for example.

In expanding to serve all 4-yearolds whose families want 10 hours of tuition-free preschool, the state expects to lean on private providers.

The idea is to give parents a choice of settings and help accommodate the influx of new students.

The state no longer will rely exclusively on school districts to administer state-funded preschool locally.

Instead, nonprofits, community groups, and districts all will be able to vie for the job.

These changes, along with many others included in the legislation, follow recommendations that a state early childhood commission issued in November and January. Still, school district officials have questions and concerns.

Smith, of the Cherry Creek district, said, “We don’t need private providers. We can accommodate this internally,” speaking about any additional students who want slots under the universal program.

Currently, the district houses all of Cherry Creek’s 800-plus statefunded preschool slots in its classrooms.

But many districts already con-

tract with community-based providers to offer state-funded preschool slots. Denver, the state’s largest district, is one of them.

Priscilla Hopkins, the district’s executive director of early education, said the use of both public-school classrooms and private preschools — often called “mixed delivery” — works well.

“I think parents want high-quality preschool,” she said. “As school districts, that needs to be our north star.”

Fedler, of Delta County, agreed, but worries that private providers could shy away from the universal preschool program if subject to lots of new quality requirements.

“It’s hard, especially in rural Colorado, to get people to want to work with little learners,” she said.

“If we start asking more of them, how many more of them will walk away?”

What about disabilities?

Some school district leaders worry that the universal preschool program — specifically the availability of slots in private programs — could hurt children with disabilities.

Currently, the vast majority of those children are served in public school classrooms that also include a sizable share of typically developing children. But there are questions about what happens if lots of families with typical children opt for private programs, segregating children with disabilities in public schools.

Hyland Hills, the forgotten district board election CROSS CURRENTS

Bill Christopher

S

pecial districts like Hyland Hills Park and Recreation District, Southwest Adams County Fire District and the Crestview Water and Sanitation District do not hold their elections in November like municipalities, school districts and counties do.

For decades, I have argued that special districts should not be treated any differently than other local governmental entities.

It makes it too easy to have an “under the radar”, quiet, little election for just those who are close to power.

For too many years, I said that about Hyland Hills and I will say it again.

Let me ask: How many of you knew that Hyland Hills and other special district elections will take place on Tuesday, May 3? You must either vote on May 3 at Hyland Hills ONLY polling place at the MAC (Seniors’

Westy makes good on lowering water rates What an ordeal! What started in October 2018 with a 5-1 vote to really jump water rates in Westminster (Atchison, Seitz, Bird, Pinter and Skulley YES, DeMott NO, DeCambra excused) has been rectified.

On a 5-2 vote (McNally, DeMott, Baker, Emmons and Seymour YES and Ezaedi and Nurmela NO) on the second reading of the ordinance, lower, much more reasonable water rates will take effect in June of this year.

During the approximate 3½ year span, two mayors “bit the dust”, seven council members either resigned or failed to be elected/re-elected, one council member withstood a recall election, one city manager resigned and at least six department heads left the city’s employment.

Who said it was “dull” in Westminster?

This turmoil, bitterness and upheaval all could have been avoided. Unfortunately, Tripp, Atchison, Seitz and others have negatively impacted our citizens and the city’s reputation and image. The latter point came up in a conversation I had with the principal of the city manager search firm hired by the city council to assist in the recruitment/selection of the next city manager.

In politics, as above, so below

hen we read of the misdeeds of today’s elected officials, our thoughts tend to orient toward the upper echelons of GUEST that profession.

We think of a COLUMN married Texan, a Chris Stimpson U.S. congressman, having an affair with an ex-jihadist `ISIS bride’ and of US legislators using inside information to benefit from stock transactions.

We think of a U.S. Senate leader’s hypocritical double standards for confirming or denying Supreme Court appointments or of a former commander-in-chief squirreling classified documents away in the toilet.

So when we see similar behavior in public officials at lower strata of government it’s worth examining whether these individuals have taken their cue from what they have observed at the higher levels perhaps considering such conduct legitimate - or whether the opposite is true. Does chicanery work from the ground up or the top down?

We might be able to answer by examining examples in familiar territory — the greater Denver area — and looking for common denominators.

First, there is the episode involving Westminster City Councilor Bruce Baker, who demonstrated his lack of understanding of the Colorado Open Meetings Law or his disdain for it just a month into his term. The open meetings law bars more than two members of a local body from discussing business matters or taking formal action,

whether in person or electronically without giving notice and allowing public participation.

Baker sent an e-mail to the four other conservative members of the council -pointedly omitting two non-right wing - urging the four to help pack city boards and committees with members who shared his political views. Part of the process would involve re-interviewing returning board members to assess their loyalty to these views. Thematically, this is nothing less than the 1933-1945 Hitler Oath redux.

Then there is the bizarre January case of the Douglas County School Board suddenly firing Superintendent Corey Wise, a popular teacher and 25-year veteran of the school district, ‘without cause’.

Four conservative members of the seven-member school board were found by a District Court judge to have violated the Open Meetings Law by communicating their intentions with each other in advance, outside of public view and without including the other three members.

At about the same time, Thornton City Council took the extraordinary step of ignoring the legal advice of its city attorney and a special counsel and deciding, in astoundingly quick time, that one of its number no longer lived in Thornton and should be removed from her position.

Ward 1 councilor Jacque Phillips has a home and law practice in Thornton and bought a property in Alamosa only to enable her to fulfill a one-year contract with the San Luis Valley’s Board of Cooperative Education Services.

Once again it was a marginal conservative majority on the council that voted to remove a City Councilor. And with no additional element of surprise, the search for Phillips’ replacement took not the two-months-plus it had taken on a previous occasion but barely three weeks.

We find, within the space of a few months, three examples of questionable conduct not from disgraced national leaders but from local bodies close to where we live.

This could be described as ignoring the legacy of toleration and transparent conduct, in which officials may consider themselves rivals but not enemies, that has allowed our democracy to function for nearly 150 years in this country.

It is the poisoning of this atmosphere in the last 40 years, starting at the highest national levels, that has led us to the point where democratic governance and legislation are ineffective and official behavior is publicly expected to bear marks of chicanery for political advantage.

How was it that the right-wing members of these three bodies broke Colorado laws or were at the very least disingenuous? Were they all bad characters who hid their true nature until elected? Or did they learn their behavior from the ground up, so to speak, in a schoolyard-level mindset of `it’s only a crime if I get caught’?

I say that the officials in question have been learning from those in the upper strata of political life in the USA. They would have observed a president making the provision

of damaging news about a rival presidential candidate a condition of granting foreign aid; legislatures in several red states openly deciding to marginalize minority voting; a Senate majority leader blatantly configuring the Supreme Court in his own ideological mold, and a lame-duck president attempting to prevail on a state official to `find’ thousands of non-existent votes.

In none of these cases have we seen miscreants in handcuffs appearing in the halls of justice.

The message these behaviors send to the public at large, including local Colorado officials, is that it is only a crime if you get caught.

I make the argument that the disruption of civilized, responsible and honest practices at the highest levels of government has effects that are felt throughout the continuum of public service in this country, from highest to lowest.

And why is this argument so important? Because when we are in this condition, there can be no greater danger to the way a democracy functions.

So, by all means, be appalled at the goings-on on Capitol Hill and Pennsylvania Avenue and pay attention when you vote.

But do not think that your gaze should pass over those councils and boards in your own town. Pay as much attention to the local as to the national level.

It is, and you should want it to be, your democracy. Attention must be paid.

CHRISTOPHER FROM PAGE 12

A bargain on the ballot In Northglenn, Councilor Julie Duran Mullica, who represents Ward 3, has announced her resignation effective April 21st. What caught my eye in the staff’s report on options to fill the vacancy was the question about the possibility of a special election versus the city council appointing someone from Ward 3. The City Clerk indicated that the election would need to be held no later than August 6 and would cost $37,300.

Remember the Westminster recall election held last year? The then-City Clerk estimated a cost of approximately $200,000.

So, why the big difference? In Northglenn’s case, the special election would ONLY pertain to voters in Ward 3. An estimated 7,000 voters would vote to select the new council member versus a citywide election in Westminster’s case - Another reason to consider a combination ward or district/at-large system to elect council members. If Jon Voelz had represented a ward or district instead of being an at-large council member, it could have saved Westminster taxpayers at least $150,000!

Let’s take another try at voters deciding if they would support such a combination system to elect councilmembers. The previous ballot language on this was purposely garbled.

Addressing homelessness on a regional basis Finally, the Adams County Board of Commissioners and the municipalities within the county are meet-

ing and discussing ways to address homelessness on a regional basis.

I have been harping on this very point for at least two years.

The problem continues to grow and it is not going to get better. The Denver metro economy and housing costs are such that you cannot build fast enough or finance enough apartments for all homeless individuals to be housed (assuming they want to be housed).

While it is a metropolitan-wide problem, the best way to tackle it is on a regional basis, county by county. That does not mean that it is strictly a county government problem. The municipalities have some responsibility for this issue as well.

Thus, it behooves each county and its municipalities to come together in a collaborative and cooperative approach to tackle the issues - housing, mental health services, general health services, food and general welfare.

For example, there are no regional homeless shelters, which are desperately needed. Places of worship are not able to provide regular overnight shelter because of local government building codes that need to be addressed. Coordinating the delivery of mental health services and general health services is warranted. The coordination of food banks and their locations should be addressed. Job training is essential to get a portion of the affected group back on their feet with a paying job.

Who should be responsible for what is a fundamental question to resolve as all of these items cost money.

Briefings in preparation of an understanding Earlier this month, the Thornton City Council received a brief-

ing on discussions that have been taking place among Adams County staff and city staff members on at least some of the above elements. I believe the county staffers are making the rounds to brief the other Adco municipalities.

The briefings are a precursor to a meeting that the Adams County Commissioners will hold with city leaders this spring. The focus is on a Memorandum of Understanding which will spell out services, responsibilities, costs and the various roles to be carried out.

This is long overdue. While I applaud the initiative of this “coming together”, I believe it is at least two years late in becoming a reality.

Thornton is King of Burgers In the land of economic development among cities, there are certain businesses that are coveted and are “the vogue thing” at the time. For example, do you remember everyone wanted a Trader’s Joe boutique grocery store?

In the past, when department stores at interior malls were prevalent, a lot of cities dreamed of having a Nordstrom’s, Neiman Marcus or Lord & Taylor to call their own. Well, in some circles including myself, the most popular burger joints are a category

to ponder. It has been a long time coming, but IN-N-OUT Burger has been #1 on the list in Colorado. Do you recall seeing the TV news reporting the long wait in line at the then new Lakewood outlet? The opening caused a traffic jam.

Just recently, the City of Thornton celebrated the grand opening of an IN-N-OUT Burger at 111 E. 136th Avenue. Before their arrival, some of us coveted having a Freddie’s in our community - another status Thornton enjoys.

Five Guys, Fat Daddy’s, Smash burger, Good Times Burgers & Frozen Custard, Red Robin, Culver’s and Carl’s Jr. round out the list going beyond the standard McDonald’s and Burger King.

For Thornton and Westminster, let’s not forget Jim’s Burger Haven. Even though they are not a national chain, they enjoy a loyal following. So, when we add up the diversity of burger joints and their respective popularity by city, the City of Thornton is the proud winner this year!

LIFE

Some Front Range mental health workers are using nature as a ‘co-therapist’

BY ELLIOTT WENZLER EWENZLER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

L

ots of Coloradans spend their free time hiking through the forest, climbing mountains and backpacking through the wilderness, but some of these adventurers are simultaneously working on improving their mental health.

That’s because of a variety of outdoor mental health programs along the Front Range that are using nature as a “cotherapist.”

Whether it’s the guided meditations

Climbers working with Aleya Littleton in adventure therapy make their way up the rocks.

A group of climbers that work with Aleya Littleton in adventure therapy show off their COURTESY PHOTO muscles at the crag.

of forest bathing, the extended alone time of wilderness therapy or the activitybased programs of adventure therapy, there are multiple options for people who want to improve their mental health but aren’t interested in sitting in an office or a clinical setting.

Adventure therapy Aleya Littleton, an adventure therapist based in Golden, uses a variety of experiences in nature as the backdrop for her therapy work.

“It’s using nature as your office and your co-therapist,” she said. “Nature herself creates a neutral and regulating space for us to be in while we’re feeling and talking about difficult things.”

Littleton’s work includes hikes at North Table Mountain, climbing at a nearby crag or even camping and backpacking. While her clients are pulling on their climbing harnesses or stopping to take in mountain views, they’re also talking about and addressing specific mental health concerns.

Littleton, who is a trained rock climbing guide, also takes out new and experienced climbers to work on things like fear and body autonomy.

“What happens when you climb is you have to refine and renegotiate your relationship with your body, with the rock and with other people,” she said.

“You get to learn about yourself with a constant, neutral backdrop.”

One of her priorities during these excursions is to allow the climbers to make their own decisions about whether they want to push forward or come down.

“We celebrate choice and people who are learning to listen to their body,” she said. “It’s not about the actual climbing, it’s about you being good to you and making wise decisions for you.”

Littleton points out that from the research she’s seen, adventure therapy is equally as effective as traditional forms of therapy, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, but for some people it’s just a better fit.

“What makes the difference is that relationship with the therapist,” she said. “And your belief that it’s going to work.”

Forest bathing When Sandy Troyano tells new clients about her work in forest bathing, they often picture something involving a swimsuit.

The reality of the practice is far from that, however.

Instead of diving into a body of water, when Troyano, an Evergreen resident, meets with a client or group of clients, she walks them through a series of sensory-opening exercises followed by a long, slow walk through the forest.

“There’s a saying that the guide opens the door, but the forest actually does the work,” Troyano said.

The practice comes from a Japanese concept called shinrin-yoku, which literally translates to “forest bathing.” The sessions have an approach that’s similar to meditation, with exercises intended on opening up clients’ senses through slow, deliberate walks in nature and a focus on the present moment.

Troyano begins her sessions — which can be one-on-one, groups or couples — with a type of sensory-focused, guided meditation that includes feeling the textures of the earth, noticing smells in the air and deeply listening to sounds both near and far away.

“The next step is take a small walk, a slow walk and notice everything that’s moving around you,” she said.

Then, she invites the forest bathers to find places to sit still for about 15 minutes each, observing the world around them. The process takes about two and a half hours.

“It’s really about putting yourself into the present moment,” she said.

Troyano has worked with clients who are grieving or dealing with mental health concerns such as depression and anxiety. But she believes everyone can benefit from the practice, she said.

Troyano, who is a certified nature and forest therapy guide, said the mindfulness practice also helps clients become more in tune to the nature around them even when they’re not in the forest.

Ancient Egypt beckons at DMNS

A

s Barbara Bridges, founder of Denver Film’s Women+Film program explains, a festival curator is a bit of a matchmaker.

“You have audiences and these great movies,” she said. “And we say they should meet.”

For the first time in two years, audiences can meet some of the best films by and about women in an actual theater as part of the 13th Annual Women+Film Festival, which runs from Tuesday, April 5 through Sunday, April 10 at the Sie FilmCenter, 2510 E. Colfax Ave. in Denver.

The event kicks off with a presentation of National Geographic Documentary Films’ “Fire of Love,” which tells the story of a married couple and volcano enthusiasts, Katia and Maurice Krafft.

And it wraps up with “Charlotte,” which introduces audiences to Charlotte Salomon, a young German-Jewish painter who grew up in Berlin at the beginning of World War II. Featuring the voice work of Kiera Knightley and Marion Cotillard, it’s another unique and powerful love story.

“What Charlotte created with her `Life? or Theater?’ work ended up being the first graphic novel,” said Matt Campbell, Denver Film artistic director. “We love showcasing strong, powerful biopics that give voice to women that haven’t had their due or women who should be celebrated more.”

In between those bookends, the festival will screen films like Holly Morris’ “Exposure,” which follows

Wilderness therapy When Anthony Riske was first introduced to wilderness therapy, the programs were typically nomadic backpacking trips accompanied by clinical support. The clients were often teens or young adults with substance abuse problems or lifestyle issues.

Now, his work includes more consultations for those interested in trying out “solos,” where they spend extended time alone in the outdoors as a way to treat mental health concerns.

As a regular Denver Film event, attendees know that in addition to the screenings there will also be discussions with filmmakers and other events to bond cinephiles over their favorite art form.

“Part of a film festival is having the opportunity for filmmakers to interact with audiences and have a dialogue and conversation,” Campbell said. “To create a connection between people and spark thought is what we’re trying to do.”

If audiences can come away from a film having enjoyed what they saw on the screen and gained a little understanding for those around them, then the festival will have achieved its ends, Bridges added.

“Powerful women and interesting stories are what we like to provide to the audience,” she said.

“I hope audiences learn about the world and are inspired by these incredible women and empathize with these incredible stories.

“We spend so much time with machines that we think that we are machines now,” he said. “But really, we are a part of nature.”

Riske, who is a therapist originally based in Arvada but currently living in Costa Rica, meets virtually with clients to help them set up their own wilderness therapy experience.

Often, his clients will search for an isolated area and camp there for up to 72 hours.

He recommends journaling prompts, symbolic ceremonies and books for them to engage with during their time alone.

“If you get bored, look closer,” he said he advises people. “Find the trail of ants, the different kinds of soil.”

Verdi’s “Nabucco Overture” features selections from the opera of the same name, along with orchestration and brass chorales.

Have a creative conversation with Wilco’s Jeff Tweedy Explaining the creative process is a ridiculously challenging proposition, but Jeff Tweedy — the founder and leader of Wilco - does about a good of it as anyone. In his two bestselling books — “Let’s Go (So We Can Get Back)” and “How To Write One Song” — he humanely and humorously discusses how his life and experiences inform his

Often, clients will report that during the first 24 hours alone, they remained busy with their assigned activities along with setting up camp and eating.

After 48 hours, some say they feel good but somewhat exhausted from their thoughts, he said. Many of those who remain for 72 hours, though, say they reach a blissful, relaxing state.

In the past, he’s also led group backpacking trips with therapy intertwined and solo therapy meetings in the outdoors.

“People are certainly more interested in that kind of experience,” he said. “And in Colorado, you just head straight up into the foothills.”

Boats used to float through Denver on Cherry Creek They’re long gone now, but their legacy lives on

One of the boats is a garden planter now. A couple more sit in a storage unit near Elitch Gardens.

The remaining handful of punts — think gondolas like in Venice — were given away as gifts, their fate today unknown.

It’s been 13 years since the last punt plied Denver’s Cherry Creek.

But the legacy of Venice on the Creek, the eccentric tourist attraction that once sent visitors on rides through the only boat locks in Colorado, lives on in how Denver thinks of the neighborhood around one of its primary waterways — and launched at least one political career.

“It captured people’s imaginations,” said Jolon Clark, a Denver city council member whose first job was a “punter” for Venice on the Creek in the 1990s, and said his experience led him down a path toward public service. “It was a magical thing that got people to dream about where Denver was going.”

Venice on the Creek launched in 1996, when downtown Denver was still finding its identity, said Jeff Shoemaker, the head of the Greenway Foundation, a nonprofit focused on revitalizing Denver-area waterways.

“It was one of the most delightful, challenging, goofy things we’ve ever done,” Shoemaker said. “Back then, the banks of Cherry Creek were asphalt and vacant lots. It was pretty forgotten. We wanted to prove it could be something beautiful.”

Founded by Shoemaker’s father, Joe Shoemaker, in 1974, the Greenway Foundation has led efforts to build miles of trails and dozens of parks along Cherry Creek and the South Platte River and hosts environmentally focused summer camps for schoolchildren.

In 1996, the Greenway Foundation built a series of five dams and locks that would allow boats to float less than a mile from Larimer Street to Confluence Park on the South Platte.

The foundation spent $50,000 on five “punts” — 23-foot wooden boats that could carry a half-dozen passengers plus a “punter,” a pilot who guided the boats with a long wooden pole. The punts were built by British craftsman Cliff Ansel, who also made boats that floated down the River Cam in Cambridge, England.

Funding came from $1.5 million in grants from the City of Denver, the Urban Drainage and Flood Control District, and the Gates Family and Boettcher foundations among others. The project required the blessing of the Army Corps of Engineers, FEMA and Denver Mayor Wellington Webb.

The first season was slow, with just 3,000 passengers in three months of operation. But by 1997, the idea was starting to hold water.

That’s the year Clark, then a student at South High School, came on board.

“My high school sweetheart told me I should apply, and I was sure

she meant Cherry Creek Reservoir — how could there be boats on Cherry Creek?” Clark said. “But it was the coolest, funkiest thing ever.

I gave boat rides to honeymooners from Germany. A guy proposed to his girlfriend on my boat.”

Clark was hooked and came back every summer through high school and college. When he graduated from Colorado State University in 2003 with a degree in natural resources, Shoemaker put Clark in charge of the foundation’s summer camp program. The work led to fundraising and planning projects, and before long Clark said he was being courted to run for office. He was elected to Denver City Council in 2014.

“The vision I first saw from those boats was to build something positive for downtown,” he said. “It was inspiring.”

Clark said the neighborhood around the creek has radically transformed since his first summer on a punt, with apartments and the upscale LoDo shopping and dining district looming over the channel.

In some ways it’s a fulfillment of the Greenway Foundation’s goals, Clark said, though downtown is again hurting as pandemic shutdowns and a shift toward work from home have left shops and restaurants struggling.

“You do see a lot of people living right in that downtown area, though, and I think that’s helped insulate downtown against some of the impacts of the pandemic,” he said. “If it were still almost strictly commercial in downtown like you saw through a lot of the 1990s, we could be in worse shape. I think the Greenway Foundation and Venice on the Creek helped make living there seem more feasible.”

“I was living somewhere with beauty and charm” Venice on the Creek wasn’t Denver’s first attempt at boating its shallow rivers, though.

“Denver has always wanted to be a seaside city,” historian Phil Goodstein said. “But the reality of how small these rivers really are always catches up with people.”

John Brisben Walker, who developed Red Rocks Amphitheatre, was said to have attempted to start a steamship service between Denver and Brighton in the 1880s, soon scaling it back to a four-block stretch of the South Platte deepened by a dam, Goodstein said. In 1894, miners left unemployed by the Panic of 1893 built flatboats in an attempt to float east to join Coxey’s Army, a nationwide political protest movement demanding solutions to poverty and unemployment, though most of the boats are believed to have run aground. Steamboats once chugged around Sloans Lake.

To Goodstein, Venice on the Creek is a relic of a “more democratic Denver,” that was more interested in how it could improve the quality of life for residents and visitors.

“Now, we seem to be in a time of removing benches, lest we give the poor somewhere to sleep,” he said.

“When I walk along Cherry Creek now, what I notice isn’t so much the old boat locks, but the steel grates under the bridges to keep someone SEE BOATS, P31

Northglenn to play independent schedule

BY STEVE SMITH SSMITH@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The biannual reorganization of athletic conferences in the state had two local impacts.

The Eastern Metro Athletic Conference ceased to exist, and the Northglenn High School girls basketball team won’t be in a conference, at least for the next two years.

Coach Gabriela Jimenez said the independent alignment is fine with her.

“We are just not at the level yet to compete in that league (the Front Range League, where Brighton and Prairie View high schools landed),” she said.

“We won two games all year, and by the end of the season, we were basically playing C-level players for our varsity games.”

The Norse won three of 12 games during the COVID-shortened 2020-2021 season. All three

wins were within the EMAC. “I know it’s not ideal, and I know many teams go through rough seasons in their leagues,” Jimenez said. “But I am operating with kids who have just started playing this year, and I want them to experience competing and some success. And to us, right now, success would be staying within a 20-point deficit.”

One of this year’s wins was against Thornton in a preseason tournament at Prairie View High School. The other was against Abraham Lincoln High in mid-January.

“I was in some games this year where coaches were not showing great sportsmanship, and I don’t want my players to go through another season like that,” Jimenez said. “We are truly rebuilding, so I am glad that we are able to seek out better opportunities for our girls.”

Mountain Range High School Boys swimming The Mustangs took second place at the NHS Futures Classic meet in Thornton March 21.

Ayden Hemann won the 100yard freestyle in a time of 54.62 seconds. and the 100-0 backstroke, posting a time of 1:04.53. Ryan Vuong was second in this race with his time of 1;14.55.

Emel Omeragic took first place in the 100- butterfly, where his time was 1:02.61, He also placed second in the 100- breaststroke, turning in a time of 1:16.27.

Thomas Vuong won the 200- individual medley, fashioning a time of 2:34.64.

Soon-to-be Westminster High School graduate Domenic Ciani knows where he wants to continue his education and his football career.

“I chose Briar Cliff (in Sioux City, Iowa) because when I went and visited, the program was all about making a new, smashmouth football program with the opportunity for young players like me to get a chance at playing college ball,” Ciani said.

“I had a great opportunity to visit Sioux City and met some of the team and all the coaching staff. That was a big reason why I felt so cared for and chose

Briar Cliff.”

He drew an offer from McPherson College in Kansas and was talking with other schools. But the trip to Briar Cliff’s campus sealed the deal.

“They gave me and my grandpa a chance to see a basketball game that night with all of the football team,” Ciani said.

In nine games for the Wolves, the linebacker made 108 total tackles, 27 of which were solo efforts.

He recorded two sacks, one interception and caused a fumble. He wants to study sports medicine with the goal of becoming either a coach or a physical trainer.

“For me, being in the class of 2022 recruiting was a little different. My

team played in season C (the second available football season in 2021).

My recruiting was a little off,” he said. “But for the most part, coming into my senior year it was all back to normal.”

The Chargers were 3-8 last season, 3-7 in the Great Plains Athletic Conference. The 2022 season begins Saturday, Aug. 27, with a game against Waldorf University.

“I’m nervous, scared and excited. But I’m very ready for this opportunity and have been working towards this goal for a very long time,” Ciani said. “I would love to add that anyone out there who wants to play at the next level can do so. It all starts with yourself.”

from laying a sleeping bag there.”

For some who took a ride on a punt, it transformed how they saw Denver.

Karen Pellegrin and her husband moved to Denver in 2006 after Hurricane Katrina laid waste to her hometown in Louisiana. Her first couple years in Denver were tough.

She missed the art, music and culture of Cajun country.

But in 2008 her husband took her on a boat ride for her birthday, and it helped deepen her affection for her new home.

“I was in heels and a dress, not really dressed to climb in an open boat,” she said. “But it was dusk, one of those beautiful Denver sunsets, and it was just so sweet and unique and romantic. It helped me feel like I was living somewhere with beauty and charm.”

Memories of punts on Cherry Creek feel like a vestige of a more low-key period in Denver’s history, said Joe Wood, who worked as a punter in the summers of 2008 and 2009.

“A lot of us who worked there were confused as to why Denver was drawing tourists,” Wood said.

“It didn’t feel like a cool city back then.”

But Wood said spending his evenings on the creek was a transcendent experience.

“As afternoon faded to evening, things started to slow down, and we’d hang candle lanterns on the boats,” he said. “You’d see their reflection in the water. You got to know the river’s temperament. It

wasn’t some Davy Crockett thing, but there we were beneath the nightclubs, experiencing nature in Denver’s own peculiar way.”

At the time, Wood said he felt certain he was just one in a long chain of young people who would pole along the creek, repeating a spiel about Denver history to delighted tourists or leaping out of boats to turn heavy cranks to operate the locks. But as it turned out, he was among the last.

By 2009, Venice on the Creek’s boats were getting old, as were the complicated locks and inflatable dams. Repair costs topped $50,000, and the operation was never much of a moneymaker. Shoemaker and the Greenway Foundation tried to

raise funds to bring the equipment back up to snuff, but amid the Great Recession, money was hard to come by.

Venice on the Creek shut down at the end of 2009, the boats were given away, and the doors of the locks were removed. Their concrete enclosures still stand in the creek.

“It was a funky tourist attraction, and it seems unlikely something like that could happen again,” Wood said. “It was like a giant ball of twine or something. An anachronism from before Denver saw the flood of interest it has today.”

Shoemaker, who heads the Greenway Foundation, said pulling the boats out for the last time was a sad moment, but he felt he had suc-

ceeded in his goals.

“We wanted to see development up to the banks, to make something out of that part of town, and to get people to enjoy their river again,” he said. “All of that happened. And, hey, if we gave someone a beautiful birthday date that helped them love Denver, well, mission accomplished.”

Jacob Syverson had three hits and two RBIs. Dillon Dahlgren had two base hits. Jared Delgado, Andrew Syverson and Anthony Arroyo had RBIs. Syverson also threw a two-hitter and struck out 13.

The Tigers finished the homeand-home series by beating the Spartans 15-3 in Greeley March 26, Dahlgren and Dylan Lujan had three RBIs. Jacob and Andrew Syverson had two hits. Jayden Watts’ complete game included six strikeouts.

Mateo Velasquez, Tyler Gaunt, Edgar Urquidi, Nathan Youngblood, Alejandro Verdugo and Hunter Redfern had the Spartan’s base hits. Urquidi got credit for

the only RBI.
