Housing, drug addiction prove to be root of motor vehicle thefts

BY LUKE ZARZECKI LZARZECKI@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Michael Rutherford’s forearm tattoo reads “Family.”

“It’s the family you hope for, not the family you were born with,” he said.

He found that family in Colorado. He’s a successful chef working full-time while going to school to earn a degree in human services, concentrating in addiction and a secondary in trauma.

The degree feels very personal to him. He wants to work with people through counseling to help them with their drug problems.

Not that long ago, he was on the other side, caught by the police and charged with the theft of a motor vehicle — just one part of the rising wave of crime in the state.

As in Rutherford’s case, motor vehicle theft is often paired with other underlying problems and situations.

For the most part, motor vehicle thefts are a result of housing and drug addiction, according to Lisa Pasko, an associate professor of sociology and criminology at the University of Denver.

“We see people stealing cars in order to get money, but also stealing cars to live in for some time,” she said. “We will also see a correlation with methamphetamine abuse in the winter months.”

A common situation

The Common Sense Institute, a Greenwood Village-based non-profit focused on economic research, found Colorado to be the top state in America for auto thefts in a study published Sept. 8, and four Colorado cities rank in the top ten in the United States. Those cities are Denver, Aurora, Westminster and Pueblo.

Thornton won’t appeal water line decision

City to work with Larimer County rather then appeal to State Supreme Court

BY LUKE ZARAZECKI LZARZECKI@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The City of Thornton will not appeal Colorado’s Court of Appeals’ decision denying their permit to construct a water pipeline in Weld County, the city said on Oct. 6.

“After thorough consideration of its options, the City of Thornton has decided against filing a petition with the Colorado Supreme Court in its lawsuit against Larimer County,” the city announced in a statement.

The statement said the decision is about time. The time waiting for a potential Supreme Court decision is better spent working with Larimer County and its community.

The entire Thornton Water Project is 74 miles long and potentially will deliver water from a reservoir near Fort Collins, nearly doubling the city’s current water supply. Twelve miles of the pipeline will run through Larimer County, 34 miles through Weld County, and five miles through Adams County. The rest of the pipeline will go

Thornton considers new ward boundaries

BY LUKE ZARZECKI LZARZECKI@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

City Councilors kicked back a plan to staff that would redraw Thornton’s ward line boundaries Oct. 4, saying they didn’t have enough information.

“We’ve been asking to be given all the information when we have to make decisions, the fact that we don’t have numbers here tonight, I’m not okay with that,” City Councilor Karen Bigelow said.

Thornton’s increase in population triggered the ward redistricting and the new proposal came to city

council on Oct. 4 during a planning session.

The election commission drafted five scenarios and came to consensus on one from public feedback through emails, in-person meetings and Zoom meetings.

The election commission’s considerations were population equity, no minority vote dilution, no exclusion on a council member from their ward prior to their term expiration, county precinct boundaries, compactness, contiguity and preservation of communities interest.

The election commission ex-

plained they must stay within a 10% range, meaning one ward can’t be more than 10% bigger or smaller than any of the others.

The wards also must be continuous, which makes it a hard puzzle to piece together, trying to draw wards based on precincts and population.

The proposed population counts for each ward include 35,674 for Ward 1, 35,430 for Ward 2, 34,332 for Ward 3 and 36,403 for Ward 4.

According to the election commission, current boundaries for Ward 1 and Ward 2 comprise a high Hispanic population.

Under the proposal, Original Thornton would remain in Ward 1, and so would the commercial area along I-25 and Washington street.

York Highlands Subdivision would stay in Ward 2.

Concerns came with separating precinct 93. One portion of that neighborhood, which borders 120th Avenue east of Colorado Boulevard, would be in Ward 4 and the other in Ward 2.

Mayor Jan Kulmann asked staff to consider some ideas.

“We like the idea of precincts not being broken up, neighborhoods not being broken up,” she said.

Thornton to recognize Juneteenth as city holiday

The result will cost between $40,000 to $100,000. The wide range is due to the difficulty of predicting overtime pay for employees. Even on official holidays, some city employees —

In 2019, the Weld County Planning Commission recommended approval of the project, but protests from landowners caused the planning commission to reverse its recommendation in 2020. Residents’ complaints were also cited by commissioners as a reason for denying the permit at a hearing on May 5, 2021.

The last hurdle is Larimer County.

“Thornton looks forward to engaging with its northern neighbors on next steps and finding solutions to the benefit of the Coloradans living in both communities,” the statement reads.

Advancing Adams plan advances

STAFF REPORT

A suite of master plans covering Transpor tation, and Parks, Open Space and Trails and comprehensive planning for Adams County passed County Commission muster Oct. 3. Commissioners ratified Advancing Adams, the newest suite of master plans that will guide growth and development in the county for the next 20 years. Advancing Adams also seeks to advance the health, safety and welfare of the residents and property owners of Adams County.

“It is not just growth itself that needs to be healthy, but it’s also the health of the people in this county that must be a priority,” said Com mission Chair Lynn Baca.

Adams County is set to become the third most populous county in the state by 2040 - and because the economy has significantly shifted since 2012, housing affordability has moved to the forefront of this plan. Advancing Adams updates the county’s current land use plan and development policies while incorporating other planning efforts such as open space, greenways, affordable housing, and transit/transportation.

“With this ratification by the Board, we can better integrate our future planning efforts and use infrastructure investments to connect and re-connect diverse communities across the county in historic ways,” said Jenni Hall, Com munity and Economic Development director. “There is also an overarching theme of partner ship with other organizations and local juris dictions to leverage these investments wisely.”

The Advancing Adams plans identify areas for infill opportunities, including the develop ment of parks, open space properties and trails, in areas that will transition between industrial and residential land uses in the future and in areas where higher density residential uses will be supported.

“Adams County is turning underutilized lands into public assets. It’s also one of our responsibilities to protect the environment and to strengthen it for the future,” Baca said.

Clustering services

The plans seek to cluster services and resi dential and employment opportunities within a 20-minute walk, bike or drive. It calls for adding 288 miles of bicycle lanes in Adams County and 6,500 acres of collective publicly accessible open spaces, parks, and greenways.

Adams County has the second highest growth rate in the Denver Regional Council of Govern ments (DRCOG) region, making community amenities a primary focus of Advancing Ad ams. As of 2021, Adams County now owns and manages 2,166 acres of parks and open space, a 39% increase since 1998, and 40.75 miles of trails, a 60% increase since 1998.

Community participation

Advancing Adams included an unprecedented level of community participation with thou sands of completed surveys and responses. The process was also informed by many stakeholder meetings and focus groups, centered around a diverse 50-person community advisory commit tee.

According to that committee’s work, 85% of community survey respondents feel the loss of agricultural land is a significant issue and 93% believe housing affordability is a significant issue.

“Adams County is growing, and it’s growing fast,” said Hall. “It’s critical we have policies in place to make sure we are addressing and accommodating that growth responsibly. Ad vancing Adams embraces the many different community efforts and visions that will help guide our growth and development over the next 20 years.”

Westminster continues as certified bird city

STAFF REPORT

A Colorado-based bird protection group has named Westminster as a good place for birds for the third year.

Environment for the Americas declared Westminster a Bird City, a community that has taken actions that make areas safer and healthier for birds. The Eldorado Springs based advocacy group created the program to foster innovation and connections that lead to advances for birds in natural areas, parks, gardens, main streets and backyards to make these places better for birds and people.

“Staff, volunteers, and community members of the City of Westminster continue to put in effort each year to maintain the city’s affilia tion with the Bird City Network,” said Anne Gundrum, a park naturalist of Westminster.

“This includes monitoring sensitive bird spe cies, leading bird walks, respecting the eagle area, removing noxious weeds and invasive species using environmentally friendly meth ods, and much more. These efforts provide good habitat and health for various bird species, education about native birds for the public, and a sense of pride for the entire com munity.”

One factor is the host an annual World Migratory Bird Day celebration. Westminster hosted one Oct. 8 at Standley Lake Regional Park and Wildlife Refuge that included guided bird walk, a bird banding presentation, booths with partnering organizations, and many other engaging activities.

O

cer Hogan lives on in new book

BY BELEN WARD BWARD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Retired police officer Jim Hogan’s dream was to write a book about his life as a Thornton Police officer. It took him 11 years to write the book but he never lived to see it in print.

Hogan died of natural causes in February 2022.

Now, a group of Hogan’s best friends has translated his 140 handwritten chapters into his memoir, “Life on the Streets”. It is being published by Book Baby and will be available at Barnes and Noble and Amazon on Nov. 14.

The book details 13 years of true stories from Hogan’s time as a uniformed police officer investigating and solving crimes. He also dealt with sadness, deception, criminal confessions, humor, embarrassment and losing simple court cases.

Friend Sherry Case owns a computer store and helped format the book for publishing. Kathy Mahan is a graphic designer who worked on the cover. Joel Sidell was Hogan’s partner on the police force. He helped gather story details. All three live in Brighton.

“Hogan started writing his book 11 years ago and

was writing full time,” said Sidell.

Starting in dispatch

Hogan grew up in Columbus, Ohio, until he was 18. He met his first wife and moved to Orem, Utah, for three years before they moved to Thornton. Sidell was hired as a police officer with the Thornton Police Department in June of 1967.

Hogan came in as a dispatcher in January 1968.

“I don’t remember the exact date but about six months later, we lost two of our people, called up to Vietnam. They were in the Air National Guard,” Sidell said.

Sidell said there was an opening and Hogan was hired as a police officer and later moved up to detective. Sidell also worked as a detective with the police force for over 23 years.

When he and Hogan met, they knew they would be best friends. They were in similar places in their lives, starting families as well as careers.

“We both were just getting on the police department and we were one year apart in age,” Sidell said. “We’d both married very young and we both had two kids. Then, we got divorced at the same time. He lost his shirt and I

got the house.”

They moved into Sidell’s house and lived together for a year and a half. Later, they both got on the Traffic Division and rode Harley Davidsons together.

Hogan left the police department and worked in private investigation and private security with attorneys in the Denver Metro area doing criminal and civil investigations until he retired in 2017.

The rest of the story

But the book was Hogan’s passion. Sidell said Hogan was inspired to write the book after a phone call with Paul Harvey, his literary idol, in 1974. Hogan took a chance and called CBS to speak to Harvey. He was put on hold while someone checked to see if Harvey was available, and he was.

“Hogan told Harvey what he wanted to do. Harvey asked what was his most exciting caper, did he ever shoot anyone? After he told Harvey two stories he recommended Hogan write a book,” Sidell said.

One vignette details Hogan’s first autopsy. A heavyset man who owned the mortuary came into the

M2 Confections opens

COMMUNITY

Kendall Matthews bends over the steel counter, hand cramping around a tiny brush, as she meticu lously adds tiny dots to her “Day of the Dead” chocolate and peanut butter treats.

“Our newest design,” she says as she adds a final stroke.

Kendall’s unique offerings line the shining display cases in the front of her newly opened store, M2 Confec tions at 6050 W 92nd Ave.M2 Confec tions celebrated its official grand opening on September 30, 2022.

Kendall co-owns the shop with her husband, Jonathan Matthews.

autopsy room, eating a wedge of a sandwich, white bread with ham and lettuce hanging over the side, and he was eating over a mangled body.

“I will never forget that sight,” Hogan said in the book.

Another story recalls a couple, Eu nice and Harold, at the center of an ongoing series of domestic violence calls, which can be the most danger ous situation for police, Sidell said.

“M2’s name has a fairly boring ex planation,” Jonathan jokes. “It’s just our name, Matthews, plus 2, because there’s two of us.”

Playing with flavors

But M2’s creations are anything but boring. For these two local arti sans, chocolate is the star of their show. From the ice cream sand wiches in their freezer to the truffles filling their shelves, they showcase chocolate in all its glory.

“We try to have creative and unique flavors,” Jonathan said. “Manhattan, Mexican chocolate, alpine.”

The list of their truffle varieties continues with lemonade, burnt passionfruit, spiced banana, and coconut mocha.

“Kendall has been a pastry chef for 18 years in hotels and restau rants,” Jonathan said.

Both were large people who tended to back each up, regardless of their problems with each other. Hogan had been called to their house for do mestic violence many times before.

In the book, Hogan said Harold’s size made it difficult to put him in handcuffs without a struggle and Eunice was always quick to jump on an officer’s back if she thought they were hurting Harold — in spite of any domestic violence charges.

Hogan took it all in stride, Sidell said, wearing a knowing grin.

“He had this smile on his face, like the guy that stepped off the eleva

Kendall also worked at a chocolate company in Reinbeck, New York., right after finishing culinary school. There, she learned the nuances of chocolate candy making and went on to design several award-winning collections.

“She can play with flavors,” Jona than says. “Our chocolates are handtempered, hand-painted. Old school, but with fresh approaches.”

Leaping out of their home kitchen

“M2 Confections” began out of Jonathan and Kendall’s home kitch en. The couple had been dreaming about making Kendall’s chocolate passion their job, so in 2015, they took the leap. Their website fueled their orders, and soon their volume increased. They quickly moved from their home kitchen to a shared industrial kitchen space to better support their growing business.

tor who knew someone passed gas,” Sidell said. “Incredibility, we got the book done.”

Friends’ duty

Case, the computer store owner, said it was her job to get the book published, but she didn’t take it seriously at first. Hogan and Sidell had both signed a document that if anything happened to Hogan, Case was to get the book published. At one point, Hogan and Mahan were collaborating too.

“I wished I would have known him longer. He can be quirky at times

Now, they’ve taken a second leap: Opening a brick-and-mortar store.

“We want to be able to hang our hat on this place,” Jonathan says.

“It’s been a side gig, but we now want to build it up in the commu nity.”

He is proud of M2’s connections with a bakery in Denver and a sup ply store in Arvada. “We are plac ing ourselves in a position to get to know people, have conversations, be an open book.”

M2 Confections shop is located near Westminster’s newly enlivened downtown area. Down the street from the shop is the Alamo Draft house Cinema, Kokopelli Beer Com pany, and Tap & Burger, so patrons of those establishments are only a brief hop away from M2’s delectable temptations.

“We want to be `the place’ for qual ity chocolates,” Jonathan said.

and end up laughing about some thing and was a joy to be around and a good person. He was one of those kindest people and I’m relieved the book is complete,” Mahan said.

Before he passed away, Hogan gave Case about 140 handwritten chap ters. She worked on reformatting and editing the book.

“He was my friend for eight years. We talked on the phone nearly every day, not just about the book. I met him through Joel. He brought him into my store and asked me about a computer.

He met my cat, and he loved his cat, Mythie Hogan,” Case said.

Motor vehicle thefts are on track to be 48,000 for this year — reaching an all-time high.

In 2021, there were 4,002 arrests for the crime. In 2022, Colorado is on pace for 4,538 this year.

That’s parallel with Adams County who experienced a staggering 200% increase in the past decade, according to statistics from the Adams County Sheriff’s offi ce.

Motor vehicle thefts were 422 in 2012. In 2021, there were 1,268. This year doesn’t look to be much different. Through July 2022, motor vehicle thefts stood at 816.

Escaping to Colorado

Rutherford left Boston after a car accident. He received a settlement check and left Massachusetts to visit a friend in Colorado.

“I drove out here for a vacation and just decided to stay, hoping to escape from previous problems,” he said. “Obviously, that didn’t work out that well.”

Rutherford had used heroin and meth from ages 16 to 26. Now he’s 30 and doesn’t use, but at age 24, his addiction started to interfere with the rest of his life.

To fund his drugs, he began stealing from stores and selling those items at half the price. Customers would give him Christmas lists and he would provide those wishes for cheap.

Sometimes he didn’t need the cash, but the fear of withdrawal

made him steal.

At the time, he worked for a company going to different fastfood restaurant locations to train their managers. He did that for two years until he lost his job due to his drug use, which led to more problems.

His car broke down, so he stole a car and was ultimately caught by the police and charged with motor vehicle theft.

Complicated crimes

Former Adams County Sheriff Michael McIntosh, said motor

vehicle thefts often involve other crimes, like drugs or stealing merchandise. McIntosh, who is now working as chief deputy for Douglas County, is running to reclaim the Adams County Sheriff’s position.

Pasko, who has also been studying Adams County’s drug court for the past four years, sees that connection as well. She said paraphernalia and other forms of drug use are recovered from many cars.

With the winter months coming, she noted a correlation between the cold weather and drug use, specifi cally with methamphetamine. The drug keeps the user warm and keeps the user awake during the night, which is when a person experiencing homelessness is most likely to be harassed or attacked.

Most of the cars recovered are not chopped up and they have evidence — fast food bags and clothing — of people living in the vehicle for a while. Meaning, many of the stolen cars are used for a moment in time as a place to live or use drugs.

“When we had a 100% increase during the pandemic of people who were fi rst-time homeless, you can imagine that these cars that are easy to break into are going to be used for those reasons,” she said.

Pair that with an increase in drug use in Colorado, and those underlying reasons create a perfect storm for stolen cars.

Location, location

Other factors are contributing to that storm. Used cars are a hot commodity and Pasko said organized crews are streamlining the thefts of catalytic converters along the Interstate 70 and Interstate 25 corridors. Those converters contain rare, highly precious metals that are expensive. Infl ation and supply chain issues are only fueling the demand for those metals.

“We’ve seen evidence of these increases happening. We just are getting hit more because we have the intersection of these two major highways,” Pasko said.

Hundreds of unfi lled police jobs across the metro area also contributes to the problem, but even fi lling those jobs won’t solve the issue

Pasko said cities must address the way policing is done.

Community trusted policing

Pasko pitches the idea of problem-oriented policing, and points to San Diego.

“San Diego is one of those models where you can have really conservative politics mixed with progressive policing to produce really bipartisan, good results,” she said.

Problem-oriented policing puts the community fi rst, she said. That strategy involves the community informing the police and having input on how they do their job. It also allows the community to hold the police accountable for what they do. This in turn aims to create a mutual relationship where the community can trust the police and the police can serve appropriately.

As an example, Pasko pointed to the contrast between stop and frisk in New York City and hot spots in San Diego in the 1990s.

New York City took the approach of mass patrolling and policing low-level offenses. San Diego looked at hot spots and worked with the community on how to address the root problem.

Pasko said San Diego’s approach kept the homicide rate below three homicides per 100,000 residents. It was successful and

Adams County Motor Vehicle Thefts from 2012 to 2021.

San Diego didn’t see as many protests against policing in 2020 and the city didn’t see a spike in crimes like the rest of the coun try. San Diego’s homicide rate did creep up, just not as much as the rest of the country, she said.

“(Those neighborhoods) felt that the police listened to them, made their community safer, and they were more likely to collabo rate with the police,” she said.

Problem-oriented policing does call for more patrolling of neighborhoods to drive potential thieves inside, which can lower the opportunities for crime, such as motor vehicle theft. With people inside, that can even lead to harm reduction for drug use: inside is the safest and most per sonal place for using.

“The cost-benefit analysis that we know in studying offenders for the last 100 years in my field is that it’s not whether or not the sentence is tough, it’s ‘is there a chance I get caught?’” she said.

District Attorneys unite

All of Colorado’s District Attorneys have unanimously supported amending the state law regarding auto theft. As it stands, stealing a car that’s not valuable is a misdemeanor and stealing a car with a higher value is a felony.

“A brand new $40,000 car, that’s going to get charged as a highlevel felony whereas if somebody steals a 1995 Honda Accord, that’s going to be a misdemeanor. The reason for that is because the BMW is worth $40,000 and the 1995 Honda Accord is worth 500 bucks,” said Brian Mason, the district attorney for the 17th judicial district. That district includes Adams and Broomfield counties.

Mason sees it as unfair and said someone with a cheaper car most likely has less of a means to replace it than someone with an expensive car.

“(The law) unfairly discrimi nates against those who own cheaper cars, which means they discriminate against people who are poor,” he said.

He sees changing the law as helping to hold those accountable for the crime and address the

problem.

Pasko doesn’t see it that way.

“Even if we increase the penal ties, that’s not going to matter if we don’t arrest them first,” she said. “We can’t keep people indefinitely on a low-level offense (in prison.) It’s not going to be a deterrent and it’s also not going to produce better investigative powers.”

Sheriffs’ Views

The two contenders for the Adams County Sheriff explained their points of view when it comes to solving crime.

McIntosh said collaboration must exist between the district attorney’s office, law enforce ment and judges. He said prose cuting auto thefts as misdemean ors makes it harder to put people in jail. As well, it’s important for police and sheriffs to put togeth er worthy cases.

“If I’m doing my job well, and I continue to take stuff to the district attorney’s office, and they decide that they’re going to do nothing with it, there are consequences to that. Especially when you’re an elected official,” he said.

He pointed to efforts in Douglas County that he believes are work ing. Camera systems read license plates and alert dispatch centers that a stolen vehicle is driving wherever it was detected.

Though, laws make it difficult.

“Just because I caught you in a stolen car, believe it or not, it’s an extremely hard case to win,” he said. “I have no way of dem onstrating that you stole that.”

However, more evidence of possession through the cameras makes the case easier to prove. He said auto thieves usually pair motor vehicle thefts with other crimes like drugs or stealing merchandise.

Preventing crime starts before the crime even occurs. McIntosh said community trust in the po lice is critical.

“When you can get a commu nity to trust the police to start informing us of what’s going on in the community and be present in the community, that’s when you start preventing,” he said.

Community members also need to reduce the opportunity for crime, which can look like lock ing car doors, neighbors looking after neighbors, security lights and more.

Gene Claps, the Democratic candidate for Adams County Sheriff, sees five key solutions to lower crime: collaboration, accountability, recruiting and maintaining staff, data and com munity based policing.

He too said it’s important to have collaboration with district attorneys, municipal police chiefs, and other members of the criminal justice system. He sees recent moves to decriminalize certain violations as a player in rising crime.

“We can’t keep slapping people on their wrists and expect them to change their habits. There has to be something held or error held in front of them to say I’m going to follow through,” he said.

Going to crime areas before violations occur can also help reduce the rising numbers. Using data to see where resources need to be can prevent crime from happening in the first place, he said.

Solutions that work

Pasko points to Longmont’s Law Enforcement Assisted Diver sion (LEAD) program, saying it has proven to address crime and its root causes.

According to their website, offi cers use their discretion to direct those suspected of substance use to case management services instead of jail.

“Instead of defaulting to the justice system, this alternative uses a harm-reduction approach along with community-based support services and coordinated care. Longmont LEAD partici

pants experienced a 59 percent decrease in all legal incidents and a 50 percent reduction in ar rests,” their website reads.

From an interim evaluation, the program resulted in a 50% reduction in rearrests for the LEAD participants and a 25% reduction in summonses after referral to LEAD.

That’s exactly what Ruther ford needed. As a drug user, he needed help to get free of the substance. He didn’t experience LEAD, but he experienced other programs to attempt to help him transition out of jail.

Jefferson County Drug Court is what proved the most helpful because it addressed his needs, such as housing and money. Housing proved to be the most difficult for him.

“That’s what (drug users) need. They have to work on trauma, they have to work on underlying problems so they don’t repeat the same cycle,” he said.

That program gave him hous ing, therapy seven days a week and structure.

Participants gradually become integrated back into society and slowly begin to take on more responsibilities, like starting a job, paying rent, buying food and finding stability.

Rutherford mentioned people use drugs to fill a void.

“The questions they ask you in the recovery court are, do you have stable housing? Do you have a family? Do you have a sup port system?” he said. “It’s just something you hope to create for yourself.”

Gov. Polis is top campaign donor

BY SANDRA FISH THE COLORADO SUN

Democratic Gov. Jared Polis pulled ahead of the other top Colorado campaign 2022 donor in recent weeks, putting another $2 million into his reelection bid and bringing his self-funding total this cycle to $11.1 million.

That exceeds the $11 million Steve Wells, a Weld County rancher and oil and gas booster, has donated to Deep Colorado Wells, his super PAC opposing Polis and other Democrats.

But national groups and small donor committees also continue to pour money into candidate committees and super PACs.

The Colorado Sun took a look at the top 2022 donors based on campaign finance filings this week that cover fundraising and spending through Sept. 28. The next filing date for state candidates and committees is Oct. 17.

Steve Wells and national groups top super PAC donors

State independent spending and 527 committees, also known as super PACs, raised nearly $59 million through Sept. 28. And 15 top donors accounted for more than half that cash.

Many of those groups are national political organizations, also common in past years.

But this year, the top super PAC donor is Wells Ranch, which donated $11 million to Deep Colorado Wells. Ranch owner Steve Wells created the super PAC and is funding it using money he made leasing out his large Weld County ranch for oil and gas drilling. The group is posting billboards and airing TV and radio ads attacking Polis and Democratic Attorney General Phil Weiser.

In many instances, one super PAC donates to another, which may even donate to a third to super PAC. Nearly $10 million of the total raised by state-level super PACS in recent weeks was money transferred from one super PAC to another.

For example, the Democratic Governors Association, a national group, donated more than $3 million to Strong Colorado for All. That group donated $1.5 million to Colorado Information Network, which aired TC ads in Colorado’s Republican gubernatorial primary.

Now, Strong Colorado for All is airing TV ads opposing GOP gubernatorial candidate Heidi Ganahl.

Strong Colorado for All has also received money from national nonprofit Education Reform Now Advocacy, the third top donor at close to $3 million, which gave to several Democratic super PACs.

National nonprofit Sixteen Thirty Fund, typically a top Colorado donor in recent years, gave about $2.1 million to various Democratic super PACs through Sept. 28.

On the Republican side, the na-

Majority Fund, which is airing TV ads, sending mailers and more in an effort to wrest control of the state Senate from Democrats. State-level conservative nonprofit Advance Colorado Action donated nearly $1.3 million to two GOP super PACs working on legislative contests.

Gubernatorial candidates are biggest donors to statewide candidate campaigns

Polis accounts for 47% of the nearly $24 million raised by candidates for the top four state-level statewide offices. His most recent donation was $2 million on Sept. 21, filings show.

In 2018, Polis spent more than $23 million to win the governor’s contest.

Polis’ Republican opponent this year, Ganahl, was the second highest donor among statewide candidates, giving her campaign $400,000. She’s also loaned her campaign more than $850,000, including $400,000 on Sept. 22.

The Colorado Democratic Party has donated more than $276,000 to the four Democratic candidates running for the top state-level jobs. But the Colorado Republican Party hasn’t donated to its candidates for statewide office, even though political parties may donate up to $679,000 to gubernatorial candidates and up to almost $136,000 for candidates for attorney general, secretary of state and treasurer.

Joe Jackson, executive director of the Colorado Republican Party, said

the party will be involved in coming

“Instead of making direct contributions we are spending coordinated dollars on their behalf,” Jackson said. “Most of that will be dropped in the next few weeks.”

Here’s a look at statewide candidate fundraising and spending through Sept. 28:

Small-donor committees give to lawmakers

The Colorado Democratic Party is the top donor to both state House and Senate candidates. But several committees representing business and union issues are also giving to those running for the state legislature.

Small-donor committees that raise a maximum of $50 from individual donors may give $5,350 to candidates for the state House or Senate, considerably more than the $400 an individual may donate. Those committees are often business-related.

Small-donor committees with ties to the real estate industry are the top donors to state Senate candidates after the Democratic Party, typically giving more to Republican candidates than to Democrats.

Union small-donor committees are giving more to Democratic candidates for state House.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Oil ad dishonest

In 2019, Rep. Yadira Caraveo joined with oil and gas interests, environmentalists and Gov. Polis to come to a compromise law on how to set regulations aimed at keeping new drilling away from “occupied buildings” within 2,500 feet.

The energy industry help craft this compromise and the State of Colorado has issued more than 3,000 new permits since then. But due to uncertain market conditions, big oil/gas firms have chosen not to develop over 1,400 new wells in Northeast Colorado.

For the past month, backers of CD8 candidate Barb Kirkmeyer (Caraveo’s Republican opponent) have been running TV ads accusing Caraveo of “killing jobs” and “endangering livelihoods,” attacking the bill Caraveo passed WITH the cooperation of the oil lobbyists in Colorado.

If Kirkmeyer’s seeking truth instead of scare tactics, she should ask the big oil companies “why they won’t develop more wells?”

Let’s tell the whole truth: Job growth in the oil-patch is up to oil and gas companies taking some of

Prop 123 would dedicate revenue to affordable housing

In Colorado, finding an affordable place to rent or purchase while living within an individual’s or family’s means is extremely difficult for a growing number. Supply and demand are way out of balance which has led to Colorado being such an expensive place to live.

More affordable housing is certainly needed. Conventional ways of producing sufficient housing falls way short of meeting the growing demand. Prop 123 is a way to infuse significant revenue through the state government to do a variety of helpful ways to achieve more housing within reasonable price points.

This measure would set aside a portion of annual state income tax revenue from the state’s General Fund up to 0.1 percent (one tenth of one percent) of taxable income each year. The funds would be earmarked for affordable housing programs administered at the state level. The estimated amount is $145 million

in budget year 2022-2023 and $290.0 million in budget year 2023-2024 and beyond.

The drawback to carving out these funds is that the state’s General Fund would be reduced by the stated amount each and every year. While the economy is strong, this reduction can probably be made up. However, in more difficult economic years, it would create the need to reduce state services which the legislature would have to resolve.

A variety of programs to address housing a ordability

The proposition would include a variety of programs. Grants and loans to local governments and nonprofit organizations to acquire and preserve land; assistance to develop affordable, multiple rental housing; equity investments in affordable housing projects including sharing home equity with tenants; home ownership programs and down payment assistance for first-time buyers; a program addressing homelessness through rental assistance and eviction defense and grants to increase local governments planning departments capacity.

Given the growing need of fami-

lies to be able to attain affordable housing, this is a viable way to accelerate the number of affordable dwelling units and help first time home buyers qualify for a mortgage.

Vote YES on Proposition 123.

A ordable housing versus environmental concerns

This has been an interesting issue reported in the daily newspapers. It’s somewhat amusing that on one side of the issue are the “good guys” wanting to build affordable housing for their workers in a mountain resort. On the other side, we have the “good guys” wanting to preserve and protect an area known to attract bighorn sheep.

Wow, where are the “bad guys” in this issue?

Of all places, the Vail town government has been facing off against Vail Resorts over the major employer’s intent to build affordable housing for their employees on land they own. The Town of Vail even offered the company $12 million for the 23.3 acre site in question.

Vail Resorts rejected the offer saying the land “has never been about

Give them something to smile about

Agood friend of mine, Sanya, likes to go on a run each morning, or at least most mornings. And as she passes others running, walking or biking in the opposite direction, she greets them with a smile. And she counts how many smiles she gets back along the way. Sometimes she gets many, and sometimes only a few. Sanya is always smiling anyway as her husband and my good friend, Jeff, keeps her and all of us smiling and laughing all the time.

I have a habit of doing that as well. Although I am someone who prefers long walks or hikes, it still gives me the opportunity to greet everyone I pass with a smile. As I went for a big walk the other day, I passed at least 40 people, and out of the 40 people I smiled at, about 30 people smiled back. As I turned around and began my walk back, I once again passed someone who

chose not to smile at me, so I smiled again and said good morning. Their response was rough as they just kept walking by me saying, “I’m trying to find something to smile about.”

As I turned to try and connect, they wanted no part and just kept walking, this time with their head down.

Although that interaction left me feeling a bit down, as I returned to my truck and opened my door, the person in the car parked next to me rolled down the window and said, “Thank you for the smile today, I was caught up in some negative thoughts and your smile brought me back to reality.” Boom, back in the smile business.

Zig Ziglar said this, “Do you know what you do when you see someone without a smile? You give them one of yours.” Simple yet so powerful. If you have never tried it, give it a shot, I have found that even when I am thinking about a difficult or serious situation, that if I look over at someone and smile, I usually begin to feel a little less burdened. Here is what I think about when I think about a simple yet powerful smile, I

turn the word smile into an acronym; Simple. Motion. In. Loving. Everyone. Let’s break it down.

• Simple, for most of us the turning up of our lips really doesn’t require much effort, showing a smile to others is such an easy and uncomplicated way of acknowledging others in a warm and welcoming way.

• Motion, we blink unconsciously up to 19,000 times a day. Imagine the impact we could have on our own state of mind as well as others who we may greet with just a dozen or more smiles each day.

• In, when I see or hear the word “In,” automatically my head and heart go to being, “All in.” Are we “In it to win it?” When we can invite others into our positive state of mind and involve them with the simple motion of a smile, we have an opportunity to turn someone’s day around.

money.” Bill Rock, COO for Vail Re sorts, points out that the two entities have been attempting to work out a solution on the site for years which would allow affordable housing and preserve natural space of the area.

The owner has sought to designate 17.9 acres of the site as a Natural Area Preservation District through re-zoning, limiting development to only 5.4 acres of the site. At first blush, that approach seems reason able.

Looking at each side of the issue

As we know, every property owner has the right to sell or develop their land. The catch is to achieve the nec essary zoning (land use designation) and utilities.

I am assuming that the property owner does not have the needed entitlements to move forward. So, in that case, the town government has the leverage over the property owner.

On the other hand, it is feasible that the town government might attempt to condemn the land to preserve the site for the bighorn sheep. However, a fundamental consideration when condemning

private property is to be able to demonstrate to the court that it is “for the common good.” Does preserving a specific site to protect and maintain a site for bighorn sheep meet the test? Are there other sites close by that would provide alternate protection and preservation?

Plus, what best serves the needs of the people in question? I am on the side of the property owner especially given the tenuous situ ation Vail and other mountain re sorts have in providing affordable housing for the employees who run the ski areas.

It will be interesting to see how it plays out. I wouldn’t be surprised if the town council authorizes condemnation of the parcel, but I don’t think it is a sure-fire winner.

reapportionment recommendations to their City Council. Their recom mendations were presented this past week for council’s consideration. The Election Commission received public input twice during the sum mer and took the feedback into consideration with their recommen dations.

Key factors which the commission uses include (1) contiguity without separation of a ward, (2) preserva tion of county precinct boundaries and (3) preservation of communities of interest. The population of each ward must be within a 10% devia tion between the largest and small est ward population. The recom mended plan would allow a 5.84% deviation.

Some of the key considerations in the recommended plan are (1) does not dilute the minority vote, (2) does not move a council member from their ward, (3) follows county precincts to the extent possible, (4) wards are compact and contiguous and (5) keeps Original Thornton in Ward 1.

Reviewing this information, reminds me that Westminster would best be served with a combination district and at-large system of elect ing their six council members. It isn’t too early to be working on this to put a proposal on the ballot a year from now.

Separating the two hats she wears Sarah Nurmela’s profession is city planning. She has worked in both the private and public sectors including numerous years with Westminster’s Planning Division. Recently, she became the Town of Erie’s Community Development Director.

When she was elected to the West minster City Council, I thought she would offer a well-rounded policy perspective on land development matters, water allocations and the pending 2040 Comprehensive Land Use Plan.

In her first year serving as a policymaker, she has not lived-up to her potential. As an observer on the sidelines, I would encourage her to shift her focus and thinking from being a detailed-oriented “city plan ner” to a broader “policymaker.”

Councilor Nurmela has a lot to offer but has yet to make the tran sition from a staff orientation to contributing as a broader thinker and policy catalyst. Others in gov ernment and development positions share my perspective.

Support for Bird

To move Colorado forward, we need to move past partisan politics and demand results over politics.

Elected officials like Colorado State House Representative Shannon Bird are an example of using com mon sense to work towards solu tions on the issues impacting us all.

One issue for the State of Colo rado has been to fully fund PERA.

Rep. Shannon Bird was the prime sponsor to pay down the state’s unfunded public pension liability by $380 million, helping to keep the public pension fund (PERA) on the road to being fully funded.

Rep. Bird was also the prime sponsor of legislation to secure and maintain full funding of the pension for firefighters and police officers. Rep. Bird also did impor tant work in the area of public safety to prevent crime and give law enforcement the resources and support to effectively do their job.

She sponsored legislation to crack down on catalytic converter thefts, cosponsored legislation to get fentanyl off our streets, increased funding for crime prevention and the funds to support crime victims earning her the endorsements of both the Colorado Fraternal Order of Police and Colorado Professional Firefighters.

FARMING GROUP HELPS AFGHAN REFUGEES FEEL MORE AT HOME IN DENVER

BY DANA KNOWLES, LINDSEY FORD ROCKY MOUNTAIN PBS

We don’t have cars. We don’t have transportation. This is our only outing,” explained Mahmude, one of three Afghan refugee women who spoke with Rocky Mountain PBS about their new lives in Colorado.

The women left Afghanistan when the United States completed its military withdrawal last year. None of them wanted to use their last names and all of them spoke with the help of an interpreter

who translated Dari, an Afghan dialect of Farsi, into English.

Mahmude has been in the U.S. for eight months and says Monday is now her favorite day of the week. “This is the highlight of my life, coming here every Monday. I’m happy to be here in the United States as my home country isn’t safe.”

The women come to Ekar Farm, an urban farm next to Denver Academy of Torah that started 14 years ago mainly serving the Jewish community.

In 2020, the pandemic forced Ekar Farm shift toward doing out-

reach across the city by collaborating with various nonprofits like Denver’s Metro Caring, an antihunger organization. All the produce that Ekar grows is donated to people in the metro area who are experiencing food insecurity, including these Afghan women and their children. Metro Caring and Ekar are partnering with Denver’s International Rescue Committee to transport them back and forth to the farm.

“What seems like a simple opportunity to grow food carries a lot of dimensions. The program allows the women to be around

other people from their home country,” said Mireille Bakhos, who works with International Rescue Committee in Denver. “The media often highlights the war and challenges in Afghanistan but [these] programs are about resilience and the endless possibilities of human connections. It is about the power of people to heal and nurture positive change from the ground up, literally.”

The program runs from May through October due to weather. The women cultivate a small

section of land and use the produce to cook fresh meals for their families at home in Denver.

Razye came from Afghanistan to the United States more than three years ago and says she grew up farming in her home country.

“I was a rancher. I had my own animals and I had big farm back in Afghanistan, so when I come to this farm, I feel so excited,” she said, explaining how the tomatoes and potatoes are her favorites to take home and cook. “We make food that reminds me of my country back home, and that’s the happiest I’ve been.”

Anywhere from 70,000 to 80,000 Afghan refugees are now living in the United States. According to the Colorado Refugee Program, Colorado has welcomed around 2,500 refugees since July of 2022. The United Nations Refugee Agency says that Afghans are one of the largest refugee populations in the world with an estimated 2.6 million registered across the globe in countries like Pakistan and Iran.

For Monira, who has been in Colorado for almost a year, the opportunity to connect and socialize with other women from her country is just as important as bringing home fruit and vegetables.

“First, we come here and we say ‘hello’ and we have a quick chat, and talk, and after that we harvest” she said, adding that being around people come from the same country make it easier to live in a new and unfamiliar place. “This is a country that’s unknown and new for us, so coming here to see people who speak the same language, and we became fast friends, and we talk.”

Monira hopes her work on the farm can help her life evolve into something new.

“My wish is to be able to start working and repay what people in Colorado have done for us, and find a job to contribute to this country, and this state,” she said.

The gallery is set up at the Northglenn Recreation Center, 1 E. Memorial Parkway, and the free exhibit can be viewed during regular box office hours and when the Parsons Theatre is open for evening shows and events through Wednesday, Dec. 21.

Artists in this exhibit include Angela Ramirez, Chris Duran, Jay Jaramillo, Jerry Jaramillo, Shantel Lucero, Juanita Molinar, Natalie Pacheco, Rebecca Rozales, and Sandra Ruiz. Curators: Lucille Rivera and Angela Ramirez.

For those unfamiliar, Día de Los Muertos is a celebration from Mexico and Latin America when families gather to honor the memory of deceased loved ones on Nov. 1 and 2. According to provided information, spirits are guided home to enjoy offerings left for them on meticulously

ed statewide testing that we do on kids in our public schools. Rep. Bird’s bill, signed by Governor Polis into law, will be the first ever state-wide audit of this testing to see if these tests are helping to improve public education. I am glad this bill had the bi-partisan support needed to be put into effect. I am not surprised to see that Rep. Bird has received the Colorado Education Association Champion of Education Award two years in a row.

Look for Rep. Shannon Bird on your ballot if you live in House District 29 and be sure to vote before Nov. 8 at 7 p.m.

Riverdale Ridge’s Weinmaster atop the golf heap

Junior birdies

BY STEVE SMITH

SSMITH@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

WINDSOR -- To survive a four-person playoff for a state championship in boys golf is one thing.

To realize it almost didn’t happen and then to survive that playoff and win it all?

Maybe that’s why Riverdale Ridge’s Bradley Weinmaster was overcome with tears, happiness and joy — sometimes all at the same time — Oct. 4 at Pelican Lakes Golf Course.

Weinmaster, who is a junior, finished the 18th hole with a par-4 and a 1-under par round of 71. But when he looked at his scorecard, he was in fifth place after tie-breakers.

“I was in tears walking off the hole,” Weinmaster said. “Zane (Zane Aiken of Ponderosa) told me his scores were wrong. I was in second, and I thought ‘next year.’ I was like ‘Oh my God. I have a chance.’ God works ways.”

He, Sawyer Klein of Denver North, Aiken and Kellen Ball of Windsor had to play one more hole. Each had scores of 144 through the 36-hole tournament. It was Weinmaster’s

second, four-man playoff this season.

Weinmaster’s tee shot crept onto the front of the green. His second shot came to within 5 feet of the pin. Weinmaster sank the putt for a birdie and the state title.

“On the first one (four-man playoff), I learned to calm myself down, don’t take any big clubs off the tee,” he said.

“I just wanted to hit the fairway. It was the same shot I just hit on 18. I talked to the coach. We agreed on ‘the middle of the green. Do not try anything stupid.’ I pulled it off. I knew I could two-putt it. My putter is my best club. I knew I had to putt two decent strokes.

“The moment I hit it, I knew it was going in. It was electric.”

After he sank the winning putt, Weinmaster made the victory lap around the 18th green, hugging family, friends, other golfers and teammates ... and showing a lot of emotion.

“I’ve wanted this for so long,” Weinmaster said. “I wanted it so bad after dropping it last year. I had the lead last year, and I threw it. It ate at me to where I wasn’t happy with myself unless I won every tournament.”

Weinmaster was tabbed Player of the Year and a firstteam choice for the all-state golf team in class 4A golf in voting through CHSAANow. com, MaxPreps.com and ColoradoPreps.

com. Teammates Will Balliet and Aiden Sweeney were second-team all-state choices.

Weinmaster has played golf the past 13 years, though he also said, “I was never really that good.”

“After I lost last year, I wanted it so bad,” he said. “I worked too hard to not get something out of it. I had some great opponents. To come out and win state? I don’t know if there are words for it.”

Weinmaster’s off-season workout included a lot of time in the gym. Perhaps a little too much, he said.

“It didn’t help me. I don’t have a good back,” he said. “I worked on speed training, getting the club head speed up, three hours a day, every day. I’ve been playing more competitive tournaments. That’s taught me to strengthen myself. It helped it click, that mental gap between not playing well and forgiving yourself when a bad shot happens.”

The worst finish Weinmaster posted this season was third place. He won eight tournaments and was the runner-up in two others.”

“I needed something to happen,” he said. “I worked so hard. I’m very proud of myself. I don’t normally say that. I shot a 65, and I was pissed at the end. You can ask ‘em. I’m never happy. For this to happen, it’s unbelievable. I’m still shaking.”

Stargate School’s Allison Pippert runs …. and runs

BY STEVE SMITH SSMITH@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

When it comes to cross country in the fall or track and field in the spring, a lot of people seem to be chasing Stargate School’s Allison Pippert to the finish line.

She has won four races this season; the Bernie Gay Centaurus Invitational in September, the St. Vrain Cross Country Invitational and the Runners Roost Invitational and the Mead Stampede.

Pippert also took second at the Horizon Invitational in late August and took seventh at the Wyoming Cross Country Invitational.

Her first foray into the sport was a 5K race in fifth grade.

“And I told my mom I wanted to go fast and win,” Pippert said. “I didn’t win, but I ended up third in my age group, and I decided I liked running. I wanted to see if I could get better if I actually trained, so I joined our school cross country team at the start of middle school.”

She tried other sports before settling on running

“I pushed myself in races, but I was more focused on having fun at practice,” she added. “Trying to work hard for better results came later, but I still try and make running fun.”

It didn’t take long for her to feel at home in cross country.

“I think we had practices four days a week and were running maybe 10 miles a week,” she said.

“And then my eighth-grade year, I decided I wanted to start training more. I saw a lot of improvement in my races, so I kept running even after the season ended, and I haven’t stopped.”

Her typical week during the season consists of running 30 to 35 miles a week

“We usually try to get in one to two workout days, a long run (my favorite), a few easy runs, race day, and a rest day,” Pippert said. “There are certainly days when I’m not motivated. But overall, I love running, and it usually makes me feel more awake and gives me energy after school, so that makes it easy to get out the door.”

My offseason training looks pretty similar to what I am doing in-season, just without all the racing,” Pippert said. “Occasionally I do miss things and, like most other athletes, I have to plan around practices. That being said, when there is a big event, I can run on my own at a different time of day to still get the workout in if I miss practice.”

Pippert has received some education from athletic participation, too.

“Participation in athletics has taught me a lot about pushing myself for my team,” she said. “During track, I love relays because you know you are pushing yourself for your team. During cross country, my coaches always tell us how every point counts in the team score.

“It has also taught me how if you work hard consistently over a long period of time, you will get better at whatever you are trying to do,” she added. “Even if it is not instantaneous results, it will be worth it in the long run.”

“I did gymnastics competitively for most of elementary school,” she said. “Going into middle school, I wanted to try something new so I joined cross country. When I first started running in middle school, I didn’t really understand how practice contributed to my races. I would race my teammates to the barn (about a mile from school) every day. We played a lot of games at practice, and my coaches at the time were very high-energy.

There are times when some stress gets in the way, such as an abundance of homework.

tice contributed to my races. I would

“But I know my time at practice will be a nice break from school and will make me more focused when I get home,” Pippert said. “I’m not sure why, but I love running in bad weather, particularly rain, so those days aren’t hard.”

When the offseason begins, Pippert continues to run with her school or with REAL Training in Niwot.

Pippert has her eyes set on a future marathon. She did a halfmarathon two years ago and “and long runs are my favorite run of the week.” She has begun the process of looking into colleges and talking with college coaches.

“My coaches and teammates always support me and make me laugh, which makes it so much easier to show up and push myself when I’m not motivated,” Pippert said. “I would not know a lot of my teammates without running. They have become some of my closest friends.”

Colorado’s fall likely warm, dry

Drought monitor shows little relief in autumn

BY DELANEY NELSON THE COLORADO SUN

After a summer of high temperatures and a wet monsoon season, Coloradans can expect a dry fall.

As of Oct. 6, 84% of Colorado was experiencing dry conditions and over 45% of the state was in some form of drought, according to the latest U.S. Drought Monitor map. Northeastern Colorado is especially dry, with most counties experiencing severe to exceptional levels of drought.

Despite a couple of wet weeks forecast, National Centers for Environmental Information meteorologist Richard Heim, who authored this week’s map, said the fall months are predicted to be warmer and drier than normal in Colorado.

The southwestern U.S. is grappling with its driest 22-year period on record in the past 1,200 years, conditions that are unlikely to

improve. Most of Colorado has experienced below-normal precipitation over the past three to five years, Heim said. Western Colorado has been in an extended drought period for at least the past five years.

Monsoon rainfall that hit the state in late summer granted short-term relief to some parts of Colorado, Heim said, but is not enough to replenish the moisture deficits that have accumulated over many years of drought. Summer monsoon rains had little effect on the state’s generally low groundwater levels, which pose a risk to irrigation-dependent agriculture.

“Pray for heavy mountain snowpack this winter,” Heim said.

There is no guarantee for any snow this fall, Colorado Climate Center climatologist Peter Goble said. The Front Range typically starts seeing snow at the end of October or beginning of November, he said. While the two-week forecast shows no sign of snow in the lower elevations, Goble said that could change quickly in mid-October.

The National Weather Service

Climatologists believe the fall season will continue to be warm and dry in 2022.

predicts a third La Niña weather pattern year in a row, which Goble said is good for the prospects of building snowpack in the northern Rockies in the early winter months. Drier conditions are predicted for other mountainous parts of the state, including southern Colorado and areas east of the Continental Divide.

Precipitation in the fall and winter

will influence what drought conditions look like next spring.
