The Colorado Supreme Court

It was a scene from a nightmare come true along the infamous Riverdale Road. A simple trip into

to nine months after oral arguments.

Cherish Salazar, a resident of Thornton, filed a suit that said the mayor already served her two terms — six years as a councilor and two as a mayor. The city argues that councilors and the mayor are different positions.

The Colorado Constitution — Article 18, Section 11 — says local

her full term as a city councilor, the judge granted her the option to serve as mayor until 2023 because, according to the judge, Section 11 doesn’t apply to partial terms.

However, that will be her final year.

Due to the matter being timesensitive and having a broad impact, the case bypassed the Court of Appeals and the Supreme Court decided to hear it through the rule

resenting Kulmann and the City of Thornton, was up first for his pitch that mayor and councilor positions are separate, and that a partial term does not count towards the two-term restriction.

He narrowed his argument down to three different “significant” factors — the way the mayor is elected, the way the charter defines the office of mayor and the office of councilperson, and the way the charter views additional powers on the mayor.

Thornton donates gear to high school fire program

BY LUKE ZARZECKI LZARZECKI@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Thornton’s Fire Department donated about $30,000 worth of retired gear to a high school program teaching students how to be firefighters.

According to Thornton Fire Marshal Stephanie Harpring, the gear is retired from fire service and can only be used for training. New gear costs about $2,000-$2,500 per set, which makes donations critical to the program. Thornton donated 15 sets.

“We rely heavily on our industry partners for donations to keep these kids in gear so they can learn how to use the gear,” said Joel Sherry, the instructor for the program.

Sherry, who served 34 years in Westminster’s Fire Department, said that programs like these are critical to fire departments, especially now since recruiting and training new firefighters is much harder.

He said that finding qualified

recruits seems to be the main issue with hiring. This program hopefully will ease that struggle.

The program is out of Adams 12 Washington Square and started in 2020 after the construction of the new campus was finished. It was one of three programs added, the other two being Law Enforcement and Crime Scene Investigation. Sherry is the sole instructor and has seen the program explode with interest.

High school students add the class to their schedule and earn college credit. After they graduate, they can continue on to earn an associate’s degree in Fire Science at the Community College of Aurora or apply directly to fire departments.

The sophomores, juniors and seniors from five different high schools who are in the program learn about what a fire department is in year one: the rank structure, the connection between city government, how to interact with commu-

Marks pointed out that throughout Thornton’s charter, the positions of councilmember and mayor are separate — it doesn’t read “mayor/ councilmember. “

As well, he said the mayor is elected at large and council members are elected by ward. He also noted that Section 4.8 of Thornton’s charter outlines different powers the mayor has, such as during emergencies.

he said Section 11 doesn’t address partial terms.

“The voters did not intend partial terms to count while calculating the two-term limit,” he said.

Attorney Robert McGuire, representing Salazar, said he sees the charter as unambiguous and the mayor is a member of the council.

Hart said there are multiple different spots in the charter where the mayor and city councilor are clearly spelled out as different offices. McGuire said despite the charter referring to different duties of councilors and mayor, he said the mayor is a seat on the council.

He said the charter doesn’t define the office of mayor, it refers to the office. If the charter did define the office, that argument, he said, would then lead to the conclusion that a Ward 1 councilor is different from a Ward 2 councilor since the charter also refers to those positions.

That’s similar to his rebuttal of Marks’ electorate argument stating that each councilor is chosen by a different electorate, their own respective wards.

He also sees the charter defining the city council, which consists of nine members, one of whom shall be mayor.

The program is gaining traction, too. In the three years it has been offered, it has doubled in size.

McGuire said that the mayor votes with the city council, can’t veto, and the vote doesn’t break a tie.

Amicus brief

The Colorado Municipal League submitted an amicus brief arguing the role of mayor is separate from that of councilors.

An amicus brief is meant to assist a judge in the decision of a case, said Kevin Bommer, executive director of the municipal league. It is to inform the judicial process with perspectives and often cites prior case law. It also, he said, advocates for an outcome.

The brief reads, “(the District Court’s order) would unfairly deprive municipalities and their voters of dedicated, experienced, and largely uncompensated public servants in a manner that Section 11 does not intend.”

The brief also argues that partial terms do not count as full terms.

“Limiting service based on partial terms or the cause of a partial term would exceed Section 11’s plain language and purpose, and arbitrarily restrict the rights of public servants and their voters,” it reads.

Westminster mulls rules for short term rentals

Parking, neighborhood character, fees concerns for Westminster council

BY LUKE ZARZECKI LZARZECKI@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

City staff is going to come back to Westminster’s council with short term rental regulations to vote on at a future council meeting.

“If we don’t put any guard rails on this, we don’t have options or any say,” said City Councilor Rich Seymour.

The item was discussed at the Oct. 17 study session. Aric Otzelberger, operations and community preservation manager and Mary Joy Barajas, staff liaison to the Special Permit and License Board, presented the item.

Short term rental means the rental of all or a portion of a property for less than 30 days. Such platforms to rent our properties are VRBO and AirBnb.

Right now, there are about 216 short term rentals for an average nightly rate of $193 and they are not regulated.

From a survey of 423 individuals in 2022, 59% agree with regulation. That’s up from 51% in a 2019 survey of 627 individuals.

Of those in favor of regulation, important priorities for them were keeping out investors from buying homes and turning them into party

homes, deterring turning homes into party homes, allowing citizens to utilize their homes as rentals and maintaining a neighborhood feel.

From focus groups the city held, key important items included protection of neighborhood character, primary residence requirement, licensing, collection of fees and taxes, occupancy limits, respect for property rights and balance of competing interests with regulations.

Other cities around the metro area have regulations on the rentals, according to Otzelberger, such as Arvada, Broomfield, Littleton Northglenn and more.

Those regulations may look like a principal residency requirement, a limit on rentals per application, licensing fees and revenues, prohibited uses, occupancy limitations and repercussions for violations.

Otzelberger explained that enforcing the primary residence requirement would be difficult and require more staff in code enforcement since it’s hard to prove how many days a bedroom is slept in.. In contrast, a limited number of short term rentals is easier to investigate.

Mayor Pro Tem David DeMott voiced his approval of limiting the amount of licenses per applicant so corporations can’t buy licenses wholesale and affect the community. He said he’s in favor of property rights, but sees a line. He doesn’t want to see the property rights of one owner affect the property rights of a neighbor.

Barajas said since short term

rentals are in legality limbo, code enforcement has to handle nuisance type issues that result from the rentals, such as parking, barking dogs and parties.

City Councilor Bruce Baker said that he would be in favor of limiting the amount of days a rental can be rented to 120 days. He also noted that neighbors bought homes with certain zoning regulations.

Seymour would be in favor of limiting the amount of days and thinks the short term rentals should be paying the same lodging taxes as hotels and others of the sort.

Baker said issues like parking will severely impact the neighborhood. He was also concerned regarding

safety and Barajas said that many of the companies like AirBnb have extensive checklists for safety.

“The platforms take that away from the agencies they are in,” she said.

Otzelberger said he only knew of one complaint from two years ago from a renter looking to report a poor rental situation surrounding housekeeping issues.

City Councilor Lindsey Emmons, who said she isn’t against the rentals, agreed with Baker and DeMott and said that issues such as parking and noise have been on the rise. She wants to better understand what short term rentals can mean for communities.

“Each year, we challenge ourselves to make the haunted attraction a more thrilling, memorable experience for our visitors,” said Mark Villano, co-owner of the Haunted Field of Screams. “We purposefully play on the natural elements of our site – the corn field, the woods, the moonlight – and use these elements to create a more realistic, daunting and bone-chilling scare.”

At night, the site is Haunted Field of Screams. With dawn, it transforms into the benigh Maize in the City attraction with family-friendly activities. Families can participate with sand art, a barrel train, mini maize, a petting zoo, pony rides, and a pumpkin patch, including a market to buy Halloween merchandise, homemade salsas, jam, and pumpkins. There are backyard hay stacks for kids to play on, and families could take photos.

The Haunted Field of Screams and Maize in the City is family owned by Gina Palombo, Joe Palombo, and Mark Villano. Joe Palombo said this idea of the Haunted Field of Screams and Maize in the City chose them. They are a third-generation farming family.

“I was still in high school in 2000 when my dad planted some corn told me and my sister to get out there and design a maze,” Palombo said. “It was up and running to see where it went. My sister and my mom ran it for the first couple of years and it kind of got bigger ever year with more people and attractions.”

In 2001 Palombo said the maize was not haunted. That didn’t deter customers who visited during the day

from wanting to come back and walk through at night. They suggested it would be great if it had something to scare them.

That convinved the family operation to start adding some actors. The rest is history.

“It’s great to see how something like a family business can grow, especially from transforming something that a farmer makes into a different kind of business, a different kind of revenue stream,” said Joe’s wife, Christina Palombo.

Palombo’s brother Mark Villano and their Dad grow corn on the 40 acres. Their crops depends on the yearly conditions, how fast the corn dries whether or not they harvest it. But it is feed corn, and they harvest depending on when our Halloween season ends.

“My dad and brother are irrigated vegetable farmers they grow peppers, green tomatoes and lettuce and sell it commercially all year,” Palombo said.

They watch the weather daily and hourly; the farmer is very dependent on the weather, Palombo said, with farming and agriculture tourism, especially in October in Colorado.

“You get storms rolling through with hail and wind all kinds of conditions, a crop can be wiped out in an afternoon, it’s nerve racking, but it’s nice coming in December we don’t have worry about it anymore, “ Palombo said.

The Haunted Field of Screams is open September 30 through October 31, Friday through Sunday nights, Thursday, October 20, Thursday, October 27, and Monday, October 31. Visit hauntedfieldofscreams.com for the full schedule.

Suburbs face reality of less water

BY MICHAEL BOOTH THE COLORADO SUN

Growth is good. But hold the sod. And have the check book handy.

Colorado’s population growth and the swelling stress on state water resourc es amid climate change and drought are sending Front Range suburbs in a scramble to shore up sustainable sup plies.

Castle Rock is banning tra ditional grass turf in front yards of new homes and offering developers steep fee discounts for water-saving “Coloradoscaping” yards.

The Douglas County town that is a center for housing sprawl in Colorado foresees dwindling aquifer resources and ever-higher prices to secure new surface water from the state’s overtaxed mountain river basins.

Arvada, on the opposite corner of the Denver metro area to the northwest, is more than doubling home builders’ water and sewer connection fees and sharply raising existing homeown ers’ utility rates. The city has so far avoided turf bans or other strong conservation measures on development, while a debate builds on whether the its new $54,000 connection fees are making

homes even less affordable.

The two cities’ big moves, combined with Aurora’s recent decision to restrict new lawns and ban new golf courses, reflect the strains on high-growth Colorado cities confronted by higher water prices and dwindling supply, older collection and treat ment systems hitting capac ity, and everyday inflation. Arvada says it is paying 30% more for water treatment chemicals, and triple for piping, amid worldwide price increases.

“Water is a critical re source here,” Castle Rock Water Director Mark Mar lowe said. “These are the things we can do to make that resource go further.”

“We are at capacity, and parts of our system are full in places that we expect that growth is going to pay for itself,” said Sharon Israel, Arvada’s director of utilities.

Aurora sent water mes sages loud and clear over the summer by moving to ban new golf courses and sharply limit the amount of traditional thirsty lawn grass installed in the yards of new homes.

Now comes fast-growing Castle Rock, which Tuesday night was expected to give fi nal passage to a ban on front yard grass in new homes and

a limit on backyard grass to 500 square feet. The new rules also demand that devel opers oversee all water-wise landscaping if they want to qualify for discounts off steep tap fees.

City water agencies are ramping up those tap fees charged to developers to link to local water systems to pay for higher water acquisi tion and distribution costs amid the historic Western drought. The tap fees have risen so high that home builders are arguing — out of self-interest, but also re flecting concerns of town of ficials — that water fees are a major contributor to the lack of affordable housing on the Front Range.

Castle Rock’s utility system fees for a newly built singlefamily home in 2023 will be $42,097, up from $37,067 this year. Developers who agree to oversee landscape installa tion themselves using certi fied conservation contractors can trim more than $16,000 from that total under the new rules, officials said.

Arvada’s vote Monday night boosted charges for water, sewer and stormwa ter connections that it calls “system development fees” to $54,000, more than double the previous $25,000 fee, accord ing to city officials and the

Home Builders Association of Metro Denver.

Builders know water conservation is crucial now more than ever, and agree with the gist of the Aurora and Castle Rock initiatives, HBA’s Morgan Cullen said. They did seek concessions, not wanting to be respon sible for overseeing all the landscaping.

But the rapid increase in new home tap fees, in Arvada and to a lesser extent in places like Castle Rock, is exacerbating crushing af fordability problems for new buyers, Cullen said. “Water is getting prohibitively ex pensive,” he said. At current median home prices, the ris ing tap, storm and wastewa ter fees represent about 10% of the overall price, he noted.

The stress on water resources and homebuyer resources will only worsen.

Castle Rock expects to grow from 81,000 people to 140,000 in the next couple of de cades. The city wants to cut per capita water use by 18% in the next 10 to 20 years, Marlowe said.

Castle Rock gets its drink ing water from a combina tion of withdrawals from aquifers under Douglas County, which are depleting and can’t continue to be used at current rates, and buying

from Denver and Aurora. Water law allows much of Castle Rock’s water to be reused — withdrawals from aquifers and transmountain diversions can be recycled “to depletion.” The town is working on recycling more aquifer water back into the system after it is spread on landscapes and flows back to local creeks.

Restricting water use in new development also helps keep costs lower for existing Castle Rock homeowners, Marlowe said, a key consid eration as electric, water and other utility rates soar.

On a winter day, Castle Rock uses 4 million to 5 million gallons of water, while sum mer days peak at 19 million gallons. The city must build out enough infrastructure to handle the peaks, and charge ratepayers for the capacity and upkeep.

Avoiding new infrastruc ture through keeping the summer peaks lower “will help on rates” over the long term, Marlowe said.

Castle Rock calls its alternative home landscap ing models “Coloradoscap ing,” and Marlowe said such water-saving designs will be part of many new devel opments up and down the

No charges in Northglenn teens’ deaths

BY STEVE SMITH SSMITH@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Brian Mason, the district attorney for the 17th Judicial District, announced Oct. 19 that he won’t file charges in the deaths of two teenagers who died in the backyard of a home earlier this month. The teens were 15 and 16 years old.

According to a joint state ment from Northglenn police and the DA’s office, the home’s residents saw the two vic tims in the backyard using

a machete to cut leaves and branches of a marijuana plant. The statement said one of the residents grabbed a 45-caliber handgun, went outside and said, “Really? Get out of here.”

One of the victims ran into a shed-like structure attached to the residence. The witness said several gunshots then targeted him “He saw muzzle flashes aimed in his direction and heard several gunshots come from inside the shed,” the statement said. “The resident

then returned fire. The two male teens were inside the shed when this exchange of gunfire occurred. Each suffered gunshot wounds as a result of the shooting incident.”

One of the victims died at the scene, and the other died at an area hospital. The resi dent was not injured.

The statement said po lice recovered a .40-caliber handgun and three .40-caliber shell casings near the bod ies in the shed, plus a large, machete-style knife outside

the shed. The statement also said ballistic evidence at the scene shows that shots were fired from inside the shed in the direction of the resident, who was outside the shed.

Authorities also determined the two victims were suspect of trespassing at a nearby property the same day. The statement said eyewitnesses told police the two allegedly broke into a home by throw ing an object through the win dow, then allegedly stole an air-soft gun. Police recovered the gun at the shooting.

“The outcome of this incident is tragic,” Mason said in the statement. “Two teenagers are dead, and their loss is heartbreaking. The district attorney’s office and the Northglenn Police Depart ment must follow the law and the evidence, however, and the evidence clearly shows that the resident of the home acted in self-defense when he returned fire after being fired upon multiple times. There fore, the resident will not be arrested or charged in this incident.”

Front Range. “We certainly think it’s a good thing for the state as a whole,” he said.

Arvada’s steep increases to both development fees and rates for existing water and sewer users will shore up existing systems and allow growth that supports future city budgets, council members said in approving the increases unanimously Monday night.

“Development has to pay its own way,” Arvada Mayor and Councilmember Marc Williams said. “We’re not going to do it on the backs

of existing ratepayers. Yes, we recognize this is go ing to have an impact on housing costs.” Like other council members, Williams said Arvada now needs to redouble efforts on both utility support programs for lower-income customers, and creating more affordable housing units.

“We invite all of you to work with us on that,” Councilmember Lauren Simpson told developers and community members in the audience.

“As much as I hate to do it, it’s a necessary evil. I hope this doesn’t deter develop ment in our community,” Councilmember David Jones said.

Developers speaking at Monday night’s public hear ing said the connection fees were high, but praised the council for agreeing to delay higher payments until July 2023 to allow them to line up permits and financing before the new fees take effect.

“I hope that with the modi fication, developers will still see Arvada as a great place to be,” Jones said.

Arvada purchases most of its water from Denver Water. The Jefferson County community is paying for one-sixth of the controver sial expansion of Denver Water’s Gross Reservoir Dam in Boulder County, and will receive one-sixth of the new water supply from that,

Israel said.

The city and consultants spent the past three years studying water supply and capacity for water treatment, stormwater and sewage, Israel said. Council members mentioned their tours of the aging sewage treatment fa cilities reaching their limits, and having helped neighbors shovel sewage out of base ments after the 2013 floods on the northern Front Range.

Israel acknowledged Arvada has not made the same push that Castle Rock and Aurora have made to reduce thirsty grass lawns.

Landscape watering typi cally makes up about 50% of municipal water use in arid states that are thick with tra

ditional turf grass. Arvada customers have access to consultation on creating a more water-wise landscape, she said, and the city is gradually installing smart water meters in homes that alert customers to leaks and their overall use.

“We haven’t gone the same route as some other commu nities,” she said.

Teachers across the metro area describe pay rates

Douglas County looks to voters for 9% bump

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Lucy Squire just marked her 18th year as a teacher at Copper Mesa Elementary School in Douglas County. One of the things she has that many teachers here and around Colorado don’t is a home.

Squire looks at what Douglas County School District teachers earn and doubts she and her partner today could afford the same home. That’s even considering her current salary as a veteran educator.

“When I started interviewing and looking as a brand new teacher, all of the (school) districts were so comparable with pay,” said Squire, a third-grade teacher. “It didn’t matter where you ended up because they were so similar.”

That was in 2004. Fast forward to today, and differences in teacher pay across Denver metro school districts are often stark.

While teachers in many districts across the state say they are struggling to keep up — particularly amid rising inflation — in Douglas County, south of Denver, teachers say voters have an opportunity to

Squire and others are supporting Ballot Issue 5A on the November ballot to boost pay for teachers and other district staff.

The district “is the largest employer in the county” and serves 64,000 students “yet continues to lag behind in total funding and competitiveness in salary compared to other school districts,” according to a summary of written comments in favor of the proposed property tax increase outlined on the

will help the district compete for and retain teachers, staff and administrators, opponents worry about property taxes amid rising real estate prices. Douglas County real estate is expected to be “reap praised” upward in 2023, so property tax bills are expected to rise even if voters kill Issue 5A, according to the comments against the proposal in Douglas County’s voter information booklet.

The Douglas County opponents’ views in the voter guide also specu late that: “More money spent on education does not buy better educa tion outcomes.”

Shannon Doering — an English teacher at Castle View High School who can’t afford to buy a house with her partner in the region — says if a district isn’t paying teachers well, it can’t expect to keep them, and that affects the quality of education.

“There are certainly worse-paying districts in the state, but in regards to the area, I’d definitely say Doug las County is known as one of the worst-paying districts,” Doering said. “That’s not a secret.”

Addressing a gap

Despite the political divisiveness on Douglas County’s school board, its members unanimously support ed asking voters for the proposed tax increase.

Christa Gilstrap, a Highlands Ranch parent, helped organize sup port for the proposal.

“We’ve got people who support

the new board and people who don’t support the new board com ing together to get this done,” said Gilstrap, adding that the issue has brought some Republicans and Dem ocrats in the community together.

Gilstrap, a lifelong registered Re publican, drives around with paint on her minivan’s back window not ing she’s a conservative who backs the proposal.

“The need in Douglas County School District is so great, it justi fies a tax increase,” Gilstrap said.

The impact of the tax increase would be $51 per year — about $1 per week — for every $100,000 in the assessed value of a home. For ex ample, a home worth $500,000 in as sessed value would pay $5 per week, or $255 per year. (“Assessed” value is the worth of a home for property tax purposes, as determined by the county assessor’s office.)

That translates to an estimated $60 million more in annual revenue for the district. Officials say the figure starts to close the pay gap with other school districts, including Cherry Creek in Arapahoe County.

Douglas County teacher pay, on av erage $57,900, is lower than nearby districts. Cherry Creek paid about $76,100; Littleton Public Schools $68,700; Jefferson County Public Schools $62,600; and Boulder Valley School District $82,000.

The Douglas County district’s tax proposal comes close on the heels of a boost in pay for Jefferson County teachers. The Jeffco agreement in August raises the minimum salary to $50,000 and increases in salaries for various other pay grades and gives every educator a minimum of $3,000 more.

Pay problem a broader issue

Pay isn’t just contentious among the Denver-area school districts. It’s a statewide issue, according to the nonprofit Colorado School Finance Project.

“We’re one of, if not the, lowest in competitive teacher salaries compared to every other state,” said Tracie Rainey, the project’s execu tive director.

Research zeroes in on what’s known as a “wage penalty.” It tracks how much less public-school teach ers earn in weekly wages relative to their college-educated peers who didn’t become teachers.

Data from the Washington, D.C.based nonprofit Economic Policy Institute indicate that Colorado has the largest such gap in the nation. Teachers here earn, on average, 35.9% less than their college-educat ed, non-teacher peers.

Add to the equation that some school districts in Colorado collect more in taxes than others and it means some struggle to be competi tive in terms of pay, according to Rainey.

Douglas County hasn’t been as suc cessful as other districts at passing funding proposals in elections, so “they don’t have the additional local revenue and therefore will be on the lower side of pay,” Rainey said.

Not ‘just complaining’

Doering, the Castle View High educator, is in her fifth year of teach ing. She said she doesn’t want “to be a millionaire.”

“I didn’t get into teaching to make (a lot) of money,” Doering said. “I want to be able to leave work and not have to think, ‘Hmm, am I going to

have to get a second job in order to pay my rent, in order to buy a house, in order to start a family?’”

She doesn’t want to leave the dis trict. If she does, it would be because of the relatively low pay. Doering makes less than $50,000 per year.

“I love the kids I teach. It would re ally break my heart if I had to leave because of money,” Doering said.

The average teacher in the Douglas County School District is expected to get a 9% bump in pay if the tax proposal passes.

Squire, the third-grade teacher at Copper Mesa, said she took the year off when her first child was born but could not do so when she had a second child because of income needs.

“A lot of my teacher colleagues tutor on the side as a way to make money,” Squire said.

Squire makes roughly $70,000 a year. She hasn’t talked in specifics about how her pay compares with that of her friends in education in other Denver-area districts, but they’re aware of the sense there’s a gap.

“I have friends in Jeffco, Cherry Creek and Littleton … we just know that the joke is I work in Douglas County. It’s just become laughable,” Squire said.

Doering has felt defensive about pay at times. She wants people to know that teachers aren’t “just com plaining” about pay.

“This isn’t like some issue over curriculum. This isn’t an issue over admin or a decision a teacher made. This is my living,” Doering said.

“When you can’t afford to live someplace, something’s got to give,” she said.

Stromquist said when they started to serve an elementary school in the 27J school district and she learned of a fifth-grade boy who was having behavior issues in the classroom that staff could not figure out.

The boy came in and received a bag of food for his family.

Stromquist said he started crying and shared how hungry he was and how little food they had a home.

“It turned out the whole year he was hungry because he wasn’t receiving enough food. It was causing his behavior issue,” Stromquist said. “Sometimes signs of hunger can be hard to miss with children and sometimes parents too, it’s embarrassing for them to say anything.”

Thornton’s ThornCreek Church, at 3853 E 120th Ave. started Food for Hope in 2014 as a separate nonprofit entity. The started with weekend bags to fill the gaps when the schools were not serving breakfast and lunch.

Then in 2019, they had the idea of starting a food bank in school. Northglenn High School was its first location, and it had a real need for food.

“Since then Food for Hope has placed food banks in Adams 12, 14 and 27J. We are also working with a Westminster school serving them through our Feed 5000 program,” Stromquist said. “We have a food bank in the Pinnacle

and the school nurse, so when they see signs of hunger, they give the students snacks to get through the day, said Emily Stromquist, Food for Hope executive director.

Besides the Fuel snack program, Food for Hope offers two other programs through the Feed 5000 program: Volunteers regularly pack up Thanksgiving boxes for needy families and pack weekend nutrition bags that go to specific children registered with the schools.

They buy most of the food they give out from Food Bank of the Rockies, but supplement from local sources as well. The goal is to find healthy meals, according to Darcie Castigliano-Ball, Food for Hope

ThornCreek Church in Thornton gave Food for Hope another room to build the food bank program. They needed a place to store food and sort food that specifically went to each location. Its expanded room also has a fridge and a freezer to store milk, meats, and produce.

“The church is gracious enough to share split space with us,” Stromquist said. “We are paying three times as much for the same thing as you were paying last year, so we’re having to make those decisions, and this space and owning a delivery truck saves us money to buy more food.”

Preparations

A community of volunteers comes in on Mondays every week to help Food for Hope prep all the food for the week, and then it goes out on Thursday into the communities. The volunteers also help to distribute to food banks in the schools. They receive new food every Monday.

“We are thankful to the community to jump in and support to what we’re doing,” Stromquist said.

Food for Hope has staff members who keep track of all the schools’ food on the shelves while also getting to know each community, school, and culture. Some populations do not eat brown rice, so the food bank learned what types of food to distribute to each location based on its culture.

On Friday, November 11, 2022 Veterans and active military receive free admission at both Wings Over the Rockies locations.

Their original Thanksgiving donations used to include the typical Thanksgiving meal with all the sides. Stromquist said one Ukrainian mom at a food bank said she tried to make the turkey and it did not go well, confusing her husband and her family.

“We realized four years ago not everyone eats turkey. So now we give out a gift card now, versus a turkey,” Stromquist said.

“We find a way to help them have a holiday meal at home that’s meaningful to their culture and meet their needs. We started doing gift cards so they could purchase meat and produce and get what they want,” she said.

After COVID

Stromquist said the staff is seeing more than 1,200 people per month – a significant increase from last year. During COVID, students were receiving free and reduced lunch and the food bank’s help was not as important. But now that the COVID programs are going away, families have to enroll in these programs, which often come with income restrictions. People who make slightly more money than their neighbors might find they no longer qualify for free lunch programs.

“These families don’t make enough money, with housing costs,” Stromquist said. “They are still struggling to feed their kids. We see a lot of those families in our food banks, because their kids can’t get a free breakfast and reduced lunch at school. So the families try to feed their kids before they go to school and some families can’t send snacks with their kids to school.”

Stromquist said with the housing crisis, Adams 12 district typically has 15 to 20 homeless families volunteers help during the school year. Now, however, that number is over 100. These kids are homeless, sleeping on a friend’s couch, in a car, in a hotel room, or in a different hotel room every night, she said.

“The kids are expected to go to school, and perform, do their homework and just be attentive. It makes it hard for them,” she said.

Thanksgiving work underway

Stromquist said the communities they serve have a high population of Hispanics and a refugee population, so the food bank is culturally adaptable to their culture to ensure its custom.

“Every food bank is custom for that community so we are a little bit different than a standard Food Bank and serves a particular school or a particular district,” she said.

Catering to taste

At the Adams 14 food bank, for example, the volunteers have learned that the community doesn’t like cucumbers, but they like zucchini. Similarly, Ukrainian refugees in Brighton have particular cultural food choices as do the South American refugee families in Commerce City and the Afghan refugees in Thornton.

It’s been hard-won knowledge.

Food for Hope is now starting its holiday program Feed 5000 Thanksgiving Box program, a separate event. They distribute boxes to the school locations the week of November 14.

“We ask our communities to help support families, so every box will help a family from up to four to six. There is $30 donation and they have sponsorships for businesses that can come in an sponsor up to 100 boxes or 250 boxes, whatever they want to contribute for the different levels,” Castigliano-Ball said.

According to Food for Hope’s 2021-2022 annual report, the nonprofit delivered 10,890 weekend food bags and provided 92,397 School Fuel snacks. Feed 5000 distributed 2,000 Thanksgiving boxes across Adams County and provided 36,000 pounds of food to the in-school food banks.

Survey shows veteran homelessness decreased 31%

BY TATIANA FLOWERS THE COLORADO SUN

The number of veterans who are homeless in metro Denver decreased more than 30% from 2020 to 2022, despite an overall increase in the region’s homeless population, according to new survey data released Oct. 20 by The Metro Denver Homeless Initiative.

Veterans have historically been overrepresented in homelessness in metro Denver, Colorado, and across the country. However, federal and local governments have been working together to increase housing resources specifically for the population.

“The government has stepped up their investment in resolving veteran homelessness. We’ve been seeing steady declines as those investments have kicked up,” said Cathy Alderman, chief communications and public policy officer for the Colorado Coalition for the Homeless.

The Obama administration made it a top priority to dramatically increase awareness about veterans’ high risk of becoming homeless, and in 2013, the Department of Housing and Urban Development and the Department of Veterans Affairs announced almost $70 million in grants to assist in addressing the issue across the country through rental assistance, case management and clinical services provided by the VA.

In mid-September, the VA announced it had awarded another

$137 million in grants to help house veterans and their families who were homeless, or at risk of becoming homeless.

Many states, including Colorado, are also targeting veterans who are homeless and working with an organization, Community Solutions, which runs a campaign, Built for Zero, that works to end homelessness among subgroups, including veterans.

“It’s a subset of the population of people experiencing homelessness that really can be targeted and evaluated,” Alderman said. “And so we’ve seen this trend over the last few years: When you increase investment in resolving veterans homelessness, veterans homelessness goes down. When you target resources to better track, evaluate and connect veteran services together, we see better outcomes in veteran homelessness. If we took that same model and did it for families experiencing homelessness, or youth experiencing homelessness, or people who were experiencing chronic homelessness, we would see the same results.”

The Colorado Coalition for the Homeless has several programs focused on serving veterans, including a housing development it opened during the pandemic called The Veterans Renaissance Apartments at Fitzsimons in Aurora, and through its Fort Lyon supportive program in southeastern Colorado for people who are homeless and have a substance use disorder.

“If we can do it for veterans, we can do it for families, for individuals, for youth, if we’re prepared and we have the political will to make these investments,” Alderman said.

The data released Thursday is from the annual point-in-time count, conducted Jan. 24, and included people staying in shelters and outdoors in the seven-county metro Denver area. It showed an overall increase of 784 people experiencing homelessness compared with pre-pandemic levels in 2020, the last time the region completed a comprehensive count.

The count is only a snapshot of homelessness. Many variables could result in an undercount, Metro Denver Homeless Initiative leaders said. On the night of the count, trained volunteers and staff cruise around local streets interviewing people and families who are homeless using a standardized survey before the results are released months later.

People living on the streets, in shelters and in transitional housing programs were counted. People at risk of becoming homeless, such as those living with friends and family or in a motel, are not included in the count.

In January 2020, about six weeks before the beginning of the pandemic and the last time a comprehensive survey was conducted, there were 6,104 people counted who were homeless. The region did not count people staying outdoors in 2021 because of safety concerns related to COVID-19.

This year, 6,884 people were counted, a 12.8% increase. According to the results, 4,806 people stayed in emergency shelters, transitional housing or safe haven programs, and 2,078 people slept on the streets or in places not meant for human habitation. The number of people staying in shelters remained fairly consistent while the number of people living on the streets significantly increased.

One in three people were homeless for the first time. An overwhelming majority of people surveyed, 5,317, were single adults, age 25 or older with no children. Surveyors also identified 1,207 families, defined as an adult age 25 or older with at least one child with them, and 360 people age 18-24, who were unaccompanied or parenting.

Of those counted, 37% reported a mental health condition, 30% reported a chronic health condition and 16% reported experiencing domestic violence.

Alaska Natives, multiracial people and Native Hawaiians/Pacific Islanders are significantly overrepresented in the region’s homeless population, according to the survey.

“The overrepresentation of people of color, specifically Black and Native Americans, among those experiencing homelessness is critical to the response,” said Jamie Rife, executive director of The Metro Denver Homeless Initiative, the regional system that coordinates services and housing for people experiencing homelessness. “Homelessness is an issue of race and must be approached through this lens.”

While the count can help human service leaders understand homelessness on a single night, a comprehensive system disseminating realtime data regionally is the ultimate goal, Rife said.

The region has made strides in decreasing its reliance on the onenight count. Instead, providers and municipal leaders are working together to improve participation with the region’s Homeless Management Information System to make data about those experiencing homelessness accessible each day.

Boulder recently became the first community in the region to reach a new milestone: The county can now track every adult experiencing homelessness by name in real time. Only a small number of communities across the country have reached the same milestone, according to Thursday’s news release.

While the region was able to locate and count 6,884 people on a single night, the number of people who are homeless in the region is likely closer to 31,000 throughout the course of the year, Rife said.

“This data highlights the dynamic nature of homelessness and the importance of real-time data to allow the region to coordinate effectively and allocate resources efficiently,” she said.

The organization releases annually the State of Homelessness report with more data about regional homelessness. Infographic reports by county and an interactive dashboard are available at The Metro Denver Homeless Initiative website.

Mega grocery chains merger would have huge impact

The bold Denver Post headline called it “Grocery heavyweights to merge.”

CROSS CURRENTS

Perhaps to some, they see a huge combining of two mega grocery chains with a dollar value of $25 billion.

Kroger and Albertson’s have announced a planned merger with Kroger being the “take it all” winner in the battle of the national grocery chains.

The announcement will bring King Soopers, whose parent company is Kroger, and Safeway, which operates under Albertson’s Companies Inc. together which will be a monumental change in the Colorado grocery market.

The deal is predicted to close in

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

No school district has done more to earn your vote

27J Schools is on the ballot again this year. The request is for $17.74 million to be raised through an 8 mill increase in property taxes to be used to fund three specific needs of our schools and our communities based upon input from our stakeholders:

Better protect our students and staff members from gun violence and threats through the hiring of armed safety officers or student resource officers at every district managed school

Increase compensation for teachers and hourly support staff members to hire and keep the best possible adults working with our students and families

Hire additional teachers and hourly support staff members and expand programming for our Career and Technical Education/ STEM Centers currently being constructed at Brighton, Prairie View, and Riverdale Ridge

early 2024. On a national scale, Kroger and Albertson’s together employ 710,000 with almost 5,000 stores in the lower 48 states and Washington, D.C. In fi scal year 2021, the two giants generated $210.0 billion in revenues and net earnings of $3.3 billion. Needless to say, this merger would be an earth-shaking deal if it comes to pass.

Proposed merger should bring antitrust scrutiny

Mergers and buy-outs seem to be more prevalent in today’s topsy turvey business world. Growth is king among corporate America business executives.

However, merging the two largest grocery chains in America is going too far. In Colorado, King Soopers did 34% of all grocery sales last year while Safeway produced 11%. That is just shy of one-half of the grocery sales in the whole state.

Walmart realized almost 17% of

grocery market share according to Axios Denver.

The sales numbers alone are glaring as far as what could happen to competition within the Colorado marketplace and price increases. Consumers already have to cope with signifi cant infl ation on groceries. We don’t need an “extra kick in the butt” with yet higher prices from the merged grocery giants.

Also, there are labor issues which would come about. King Soopers has approximately 22,000 employees in Colorado. The number of Safeway employees was not available, but has 103 stores in our state compared to 148 stores for King Soopers. Mergers bring consolidation and grocery stores would be closed. You can count on it. Employees would lose their jobs and consumers would lose their convenient shopping. This merger clearly warrants the federal government’s anti-trust experts to put this proposal under the micro-

scope.

Hopefully, they will conclude this is not good for competitive business in America including Colorado.

Acolleague of mine encouraged her daughter, a second-year pre-med college student, to reach out and ask the question, “What’s the best piece of advice you’d offer a college student?” When I received this request, I gave it some deliberate thought. And as I wrote these responses out for her, I was reminded that this guidance is applicable to all of us when we stop and think about it. I hope there is a message here that connects with you as well.

often people aren’t ready or equipped when confrontation, confl ict, or disagreements occur. And when we aren’t ready, if we haven’t built our mental model on how we would respond instead of react, and if we do not have our go-to words top of mind and heart, we can miss opportunities to defuse situations. On the positive side, when we have our word bank visible and top of mind, we tend to lean into those words, and they bring joy to our day and into each interaction we have with anyone around us. People love positive people. Some of the words in my word bank include, love, forgiveness, grace, kindness, beauty, humility, generosity, abundance, encouragement, hope (that’s a big one), gentleness, compassion, patience, endurance, determination and trust.

The consummate cheerleader

Bev Capra was a special person with a passion for Westminster and its people. While small in stature, she had a big heart, was a true “people person” and had a huge amount of energy.

I especially think of Bev as the successful West 73rd Avenue busi nesswoman with a clear pulse on the south Westminster community. She made things happen. She was a detailed organizer and doer. Peo ple relied on her. People followed her lead. She was the consummate Westminster cheerleader.

With her passing, there is a huge hole for the future of this part of Westminster. As I interviewed citizens who are connected to original Westminster, it became clear that there is doubt as to what the future holds for the existing businesses and potential re-development in the area. She had a vision of this area of being

The coffee shop is where you can experience “community” any time you sip a brew there with the sis ter team of Patricia and Kathleen.

Bev Capra was the “HEART Of West minster”

Early on, she and her husband in their marriage started investing in real estate not just in Westminster, but in other suburban communi ties. They bought and restored/ updated the Riggs house on Brad burn Boulevard which was built in 1903. According to her life-long friend Margie Warsavage, school girl Bev would say “someday I will own that house and it will be my forever home.” Well, she and her husband made it happen.

It was often the location for par ties and gatherings of all kinds including the Teddy Bear Picnics and open houses. They bought property on 73rd Avenue which included a couple of apartments and the two commercial buildings across from Firemen’s Park. Here she established her art gallery and next door is the Creative Corner coffee shop.

Her grandson had given her art lessons as a special gift after she retired which got her started painting lots and lots of wonderful water color images. Her son Jim likened Bev’s Westminster roots to the roots of an old oak tree---deep, sturdy and reaching out. Bev’s passion was Westminster in a vari ety of ways. The festivals, teddy bear picnics, parties, Westminster history, speaking out on causes and so much more were Bev’s life.

As her good friend Gary Shea said, “Bev Capra is the heart of Westminster.”

New Owner Of St. Martha’s Episcopal Church

I regularly review the council meeting and study session agen das of the north area cities along with the Adams County Com missioners looking for newswor thy decisions or issues to write about. Last week, I came across a rezoning in the Harris Park area of Westminster.

Any rezoning activity in the southern part of the city is a rare event. So, I thought I would write about the Nepal American Sociocultural Exchange Society’s requested rezoning. They pur chased the former St. Martha’s Episcopal Church property at the northwest corner of 76th Avenue and Bradburn Boulevard.

It’s unique in that the land was zoned R-1 residential for all the

years the church was active. The former church was a non-con forming allowed use.

The Nepal Society intends to utilize the building as a com munity center to be used for a variety of uses. They include religious and cultural gatherings, festivals, receptions, language classes, free health camps and more community activities. City council will hold a public hear ing on October 24th and decide. It will be good to have activity again at this property and put the building to good use.

OBITUARIES

Bonne Louise Taylor died Oct. 18 at the Villas at Sunny Acres in ornton. She was 83.

Born on Jan. 10, 1939 in Brooklyn, New York to James Peter McNeive and Margaret Louise O’Hara McNeive, Bonne loved the borough and always spoke of it fondly. e family — including older sister Anita Marie — moved to Denver when Bonne was three, joining Margaret’s family there. anks to the ood of new family, Bonne discovered she loved that city, as well.

She attended Denver’s St. Francis DeSale’s High School and graduated in 1957 and soon began working at Public Service Company of Colorado. at’s where she met a young reserve Marine, Albert Donald Taylor, the love of her life. e two were married in September 1960 at Denver’s St. John the Evangelist.

After a few years in a rented house on Monroe Street in Denver, they purchased a home in a new Denver suburb, Northglenn. e larger home was just in time, as they were soon joined by their son, Scott Matthew Taylor.

In 1975, the family purchased a home in Arvada’s Lake Arbor subdivision.

Since Scott was in school, Bonne decided to do the same, taking a job as a library aid at Pomona Senior High School. Je erson County Schools were a great t for Bonne, and she continued to build bonds and close personal friendships with teachers, other aids and students for many years.

Just as her son was ready to start high school at Pomona himself, she graciously chose to move on and took a job at Juchem Elementary as the school’s secretary.

Bonne Louise Taylor January 10, 1939 - October 18, 2022

Every fall, pumpkin lovers rejoice in knowing their favorite flavors will start migrating from humble gourds to morning mugs. While the specialty beverage has corporate origins, local baristas put a hometown twist on “PSLs” across Colorado.

The origins of pumpkin spice lattes trace to 2003, when Starbucks’ Director of Espresso Peter Dukes came up with the idea out of a desire to replicate the seasonal success of the eggnog latte and peppermint mocha, according to The Daily Meal.

“Pumpkin spice latte has become more than just a beverage,” Dukes said. “It has become a harbinger of the season.”

Since then, the drink has evolved into an annual tradition outside Starbucks.

At Nixon’s Coffee House in Englewood, one barista said pumpkin pie syrup is used instead of pumpkin spice because it gives the drink a more unique flavor.

La Dolce Vita in Arvada uses pumpkin puree sauce and has served the drink since around the time Starbucks began the trend. Unlike the big chain, at LDV the taste will depend on the barista.

Barista Tamara Hansen said she adds vanilla to her PSL so that it gets a more robust flavor profile.

“I’m putting pumpkin sauce, of course, and vanilla, and I’m going to put whipped cream and cinnamon sugar,” Hansen said. “(The vanilla) adds a little bit of sweetness.”

Her co-worker Josh Crouch’s take on the drink is inspired by pumpkin pancakes and features some maple flavors.

“It’s got real pumpkin,” Crouch said, pointing to the pumpkin puree sauce used to flavor the drink.

Not just lattes

The PSL trend has spread far beyond espresso drinks. Local breweries have jumped on the flavor train as well — somewhat begrudgingly, in certain cases.

Colorado Plus Brew Pub in Wheat Ridge serves a “darker style of pumpkin ale,” according to Manager Jordan Peck. The “Don’t Call Me Pumpkin, Pumpkin Spice Ale” ale has a slightly higher-than-average alcohol content than other pumpkin beers, Peck said.

“It’s really full-bodied,” Peck said. “It’s pumpkin spice without being over the top.”

Chris Hill, owner of Odyssey Beerwerks in Arvada didn’t necessarily want to make a pumpkin beer, so he took the idea and went a different route.

“We opened in May of 2013,” Hill said. “As fall was rolling around, everybody was telling us we needed to do a

pumpkin beer because everyone does a pumpkin beer in fall. I didn’t really want to do one, but I asked our assistant brewer if he could do a different one. He came back with the idea to do a marshmallow porter with a pumpkin spice.”

The result is the “Fluffy Pumpkin Toasted Marshmallow Porter,” which was such a hit in 2013 that Odyssey kept it going on a seasonal basis.

“It was a one-off to appease customers,” Hill admits. “The reason we brewed a second batch was we had two bar owners and two friends of owners who called and said they had or had heard of this been we did and they really wanted to put it on tap. So, we did enough to make four-eight kegs and sold it to them. In 2014, we did a full batch and sold out before we were done fermenting.”

Despite the Fluffy Pumpkin’s beginnings, Hill says he’s come around on the pumpkin porter.

“I’m in a happy place with it now,” Hill said. “It’s a really good beer. I won’t say we were opposed, but since everyone does a pumpkin beer, we don’t need to do one, but we did and it was fantastic. I won’t downplay the beer. It’s really good.”

Barnett and Son Brewing Co. in Parker began their pumpkin beer with a homespun tradition.

Owner Andrew Barnett said their ‘Nevermore Pumpkin Ale’ — fittingly named after ‘The Raven,’ by Edgar Alan Poe — originated with a Halloween tradition at the Barnett home.

“It’s an old home brew recipe. As a home brewer, we used to deck out the Barnett house for Halloween,” Barnett said. “I’d hand out beers in the driveway for neighbors who came out to Halloween. When we opened the brewery, that tradition survived.”

Barnett describes the ale as “a really good balance between the spices and the vegetable,” and said he was cautious against adding too much cinnamon, a move he believes undercuts the flavor of other pumpkin beers.

There’s a reason that during the worst parts of the COVID-19 pandemic, so many people turned to the film world for solace and inspiration.

The Denver Film Festival is aiming to achieve that same entertaining and enlightening power in its season, which is returning to its pre-pandemic form of entirely in-person screening.

“We have the return of the real festival environment this year,” said Matthew Campbell, the festival’s artistic director. “We were just able to have a couple parties and other events last year, so we didn’t have as much conversing after the films as we normally would. Now we’re able to host more events, foster the community experience and be a catalyst for conversation.”

The 45th Denver Film Festival runs this year from Wednesday, Nov. 2 through Sunday, Nov. 13. Screenings and events will be held in several downtown locations, primarily the Sie FilmCenter, 2510 E. Colfax Ave. in Denver, as well as the Ellie Caulkins Opera House, Denver Botanic Gardens, AMC 9 + CO 10 and the Tattered Cover East Colfax.

Some of the big films being showcased this year include the Opening Night Red Carpet presentation of “Armageddon Time,” which is directed by James Gray and features Anne Hathaway, Jeremy Strong and Anthony Hopkins. Sam Mendes’ “Empire of Light,” Sarah Polley’s “Women Talking” and Maria Schrader’s “She Said” are all films garnering early awards buzz that will be screened during the festival.

You also won’t want to miss “The Whale,” the Brendan Fraser film, written by Samuel D. Hunter, who will be on hand to receive the festival’s Excellence in Writing Award. Hunter’s play (which the film is based on) had its premiere in Denver, so this will be a special event.

“These special presentations are great but people will have the opportunity to see these films after the fact,” Campbell said. “But what’s great about this festival is there are many films that this might be your only chance to see.”

In addition to quality stories from the world over, the team at Denver Film works to highlight Colorado stories like: “The Holly,” which tells the story of a shooting case involving activist Terrance Roberts and the gentrification of the city; and “My Sister Liv,” a film that follows two Colorado sisters coming of age with all the pressures of social media.

With several parties to attend, as well as VR filmmaking experiences, there truly is something for every-

one at the festival.

“The audiences here in Denver are really adventurous and are really discerning,” Campbell said. “Those who attend are going to come away having had a great time but also potentially learning something and getting a new outlook on film. We’re here to expand minds and create dialogue and empathy.”

Clarke’s Concert of the Week — Bret McKenzie at the Ogden Theatre

You might know Bret McKenzie as half of “New Zealand’s fourth most popular guitar-based, digi-bongo, acapella-rap-funk-comedy folk duo,” the Flight of the Conchords. Just a month ago he released his first solo album, “Songs Without Jokes,” and I’m delighted to report that it is full of the same sly wit that you can find in the work of songwriting legends like Randy Newman.

In support of the album McKenzie is stopping by the Ogden Theatre, 935 E. Colfax Ave. in Denver, at 8 p.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 2. In addition to cuts from the new record, he’ll be performing songs he’s written for The Muppets, The Simpsons and more.

102-year-old WWII vet in Colorado shares stories

Leo Lewis was master sergeant in Army Air Corps

BY KYLE COOKE AND BRIAN WILLIE ROCKY MOUNTAIN PBS

Leo Lewis is glad that his army jacket still fits.

When Rocky Mountain PBS visited the 102-year-old Lewis in his Lakewood home, the former master sergeant sat on a recliner with a blanket on his lap, proudly pointing at the stripes on his left arm.

“I had a lot of fun with these guys,” Lewis said, flipping through a photo album of his time spent overseas. He said that when you’ve been out of the military as long as he has, “it’s difficult to remember so many of the names of the guys that served under you.”

Lewis was born on June 9, 1920 in the small town of Butte, Nebraska. One of six children, he experienced

tragedy at a young age — when he was 12 years old, his mother died in a house fire and Lewis was subsequently put in foster care.

After graduating from high school in Alliance, Nebraska, Lewis earned a football scholarship at the University of Nebraska. But in the winter of his sophomore year, on Dec. 20, 1941, Leo enlisted in the Army Air Corps as a private.

Lewis worked his way up the ranks and on July 15, 1942, he was deployed.

“And nobody would tell us where that assignment was,” Lewis recalled. Two weeks later, Lewis and his group arrived in Karachi, India. This was before Pakistan gained its independence from British India.

Lewis was a field director for the China-Burma-India Air Service Command. Two of his brothers also served during World War II, one in the Army and another in the Navy.

“I actually enjoyed serving my country in 1941,” Lewis said.

“Things were a little bit different then, but we have a good Air Force.”

After the war, Lewis returned to Nebraska and got married. He then moved to Colorado to attend the University of Colorado, Boulder, where he played football once again.

Lewis had two children and started a business selling and repairing televisions in Denver, but once televisions no longer relied on vacuum tubes for operation, Lewis closed the business and transitioned to construction, where he had great success. His current home in Lakewood is one that he built.

Today, Lewis has four grandchildren and eight great grandchildren. One of his granddaughters, Dawnette, told Rocky Mountain PBS that Lewis “set a great example of working hard to get the things you want, and most importantly be grateful for your family and country.”

As for the next generation of service men and women, Lewis’

advice is simple. “When you join the service, concentrate on your basic training and you’ll be happy that you did, because you’ll be able to advance your rank in the military if you do that.”

More than 16 million Americans served in World War II. Today, fewer than 170,000 are still alive. And according to the National World War II Museum, close to 200 World War II veterans pass away each day.

This is why for Lewis, it’s important that he remembers his time overseas and that he shares stories with his family. Looking through his photo albums, Lewis said, “sometimes, I don’t really comprehend how far back that really was.”

Polls show Democrats leading key races

Ballots hitting mailboxes

BY JESSE PAUL THE COLORADO SUN

The Colorado Democrats running for reelection this year to major statewide offices — including U.S. Senate, governor, attorney general and secretary of state — hold big leads over their Republican challengers less than a month before Election Day, according to a new poll released Wednesday.

The poll was conducted by Global Strategy Group, a Democratic firm, from Oct. 6-11 among 800 registered voters. It had a 3.5 percentage point margin of error. The poll was conducted in partnership with ProgressNow Colorado, a liberal nonprofit. The Colorado Sun refers to the organization as a dark-money group because it doesn’t have to disclose its donors.

If the survey’s findings are correct — the findings are much more favorable for Democrats than the numbers in other recent polls — the GOP is staring down another year of devastating election results on Nov. 8. No Republican running statewide has won more than 45% of the vote in the past two election cycles.

The poll found Democratic Gov. Jared Polis leads his Republican challenger, University of Colorado Regent Heidi Ganahl, by 54% to

33% with 7% undecided. That’s the largest margin of any of the races polled by Global Strategy Group.

In the U.S. Senate race, 50% of those polled said they would vote for Democratic incumbent Michael Bennet compared to 35% who said they would back Republican Joe O’Dea, a first-time candidate who owns a Denver construction company. Eight percent said they were undecided.

The gap in the Senate race narrowed by 4 percentage points to 49% for Bennet and 38% for O’Dea when Global Strategy Group weighed the results to mirror the likely 2022

electorate.

Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold led her Republican challenger, former Jefferson County Clerk Pam Anderson, at 46% to 34% with 10% undecided.

In the attorney general’s race, Democratic incumbent Phil Weiser led his Republican challenger, 18th Judicial District Attorney John Kellner, at 44% to 35% with 13% undecided.

Voters are typically less familiar with down-ballot candidates, which may be why the percentages of undecided voters were so high in the polling for the secretary of state

and attorney general races.

RealClearPolitics, a politics news and analysis website, averages polling results. Bennet leads O’Dea by 8 percentage points in polls analyzed by the site — not including the new Global Strategy Group survey — while Polis leads Ganahl by 14 percentage points. (RealClearPolitics doesn’t have polling averages for the attorney general and secretary of state races.)

The Global Strategy Group also tested President Biden’s and Polis’ approval ratings. Forty-six percent of those polled said they approve of Biden’s work, while 51% said they disapprove and 3% said they weren’t sure. For Polis, 58% said they approve of the job he is doing, while 27% said they disapprove and 6% said they weren’t sure.

The approval ratings for Polis and Biden have improved since June, the last time Global Strategy Group conducted a similar survey.

Colorado county clerks began mailing ballots to voters on Oct. 17.

AG candidates Kellner, Weiser talk issues

Gay marriage, crime, abortion, discussed

BY SANDRA FISH THE COLORADO SUN

Democratic Attorney General Phil Weiser is running for reelection against Republican John Kell-

ner, the top prosecutor in the 18th Judicial District.

The winner of the race will serve as the top law enforcement official in the state and preside over an office that represents state government in court, oversees law enforcement officer training and enforces consumer protection and antitrust laws.

Here’s what you need to know

about Weiser and Kellner.

The candidates’ background Weiser, 54, is a former dean of the University of Colorado Law School, where he founded the Silicon Flatirons Center for Law, Technology and Entrepreneurship. He served as a law clerk to Supreme Court justices Byron R. White and Ruth Bader Ginsburg, and previously worked as a deputy attorney general in the U.S. Department of Justice. He was elected attorney general in 2018. He lives in Denver.

Kellner, 41, was elected district attorney in the 18th Judicial District in 2020 after working in the office’s cold case unit. He served in the U.S. Marine Corps after graduating from the University of Florida, and attended law school at the University of Colorado. His four years of active-duty military service included a deployment to Afghanistan. He now serves as a lieutenant colonel in the Marine Corps Reserves. He lives in Arapahoe County.

The attorney general’s role in criminal matters

The Colorado Attorney General’s Office has limited criminal juris diction, meaning it can’t prosecute every crime committed in the state. The office typically prosecutes criminal matters when they span multiple counties or are statewide, such as Medicare fraud and orga nized crime rings. The main focus of the office is on civil court mat ters, like lawsuits.

Still, rising violent crime rates in Colorado have become a major cen terpiece of the race between Weiser and Kellner.

Kellner acknowledges the limited role the attorney general plays in criminal matters, but says Weiser should have done more as attorney general to advocate at the legisla ture for a tougher criminal code, namely when it comes to fentanyl and auto thefts.

“I see the attorney general’s office as being really the bully pulpit, the person who has the best ability to influence public safety outcomes and legislation at the state level,” Kellner said.

Weiser points out that it’s in fact district attorneys like Kellner who are responsible for prosecuting most crime.

“The attorney general prosecutes only organized crime and fraud

cases, which means the only auto theft case that we would do is like an organized criminal enterprise,” Weiser said.

Fentanyl

Kellner says he would have op posed a bipartisan 2019 state law that made personal possession of up to 4 grams of fentanyl and most other drugs a misdemeanor.

Weiser said he opposed and wasn’t involved with the 2019 measure: “It was a bipartisan bill that I hadn’t supported.”

The legislature amended the 2019 law earlier this year to make it a felony to possess a gram or more of fentanyl and to increase penalties for fentanyl dealers. The legislation also allocated millions of dollars to treatment, prevention and law enforcement response.

“I would have gone further and re duced the possession to as low as we could get, but the lowest we could get it was 1 gram,” Weiser said.

Kellner said he would have pre ferred that the bill passed this year apply to a wider range of synthetic opioids so that the state is better prepared for the next wave of the opioid crisis.

Water issues

The two candidates differ on a major water case before the U.S. Su preme Court, Sackett v. EPA, which seeks to limit the Environmental Protection Agency’s enforcement of clean water regulations. It’s a case out of Idaho where the EPA

prevented a couple from building a house on a lot the agency considered a wetland.

Weiser’s office supports the EPA’s position in the case.

“Historically, the EPA has man aged the system of permitting to ensure that projects will not harm water quality,” Weiser said. “Under the Sackett case, there’s now a real risk that the EPA will lose that abil ity, and that responsibility will be shifted to the state of Colorado.”

But Kellner said Congress could respond if the EPA loses the case by passing laws regulating clean water enforcement. He said he would have intervened in the case on behalf of the landowners suing the EPA.

“We ought to be concerned about potential overreach by the federal government, especially when it comes to water,” he said.

Weiser said he’s hired a staff of lawyers to protect Colorado’s water rights when it comes to disputes with other states, as well as pro tecting smaller communities from metropolitan areas trying to build their water supplies.

“The worst water decisions are those that harm communities like the San Luis Valley, or like Crowley County, and basically undermine their economies,” he said.

Kellner said he is concerned about the attorney general’s office “basi cally getting ahead of the policy makers as the legal representative for the state.” He noted that water rights are property rights and if someone “wants to sell them, there’s

a process to adjudicate whether or not that goes forward, and it’s through water court.”

Gun regulations

The National Rifle Association has endorsed Kellner, though he said he supports Colorado’s red flag law, which passed in 2019 and allows judges to order the temporary sei zure of guns from people considered a risk to themselves or others.

Kellner originally opposed the red flag law, in part because of concerns that it isn’t limited to law enforce ment taking such cases to court.

“I thought it should have been limited to police officers, but there’s been enough checks and balances in place and it’s worked,” he told The Sun. “OK to say I was wrong about that.”

He said he opposes measures passed by the legislature in recent years allowing some nonviolent felons to own guns.

“My opponent advocated for a bill that actually allowed convicted fel ons including car thieves and drug dealers to possess guns,” Kellner said in a 9News debate on Oct. 19.

But Weiser countered that the 2021 bill Kellner referred to had biparti san support and was unanimously supported by Colorado’s district attorneys, and that it still prohibited gun possession for 60 felonies. Weiser said he wants to ensure people con victed of car theft and drug dealing are on the prohibition list.

CANDIDATES

Weiser is endorsed by Every town for Gun Safety and other groups that seek to increase gun control measures. He said he’d like to see continued improvement of Colorado’s gun safety laws, which already include universal background checks, a ban on the sale and possession of magazines with a capacity larger than 15 rounds and a temporary prohibi tion on gun ownership by people convicted of certain violent mis demeanors.

“I think about this the same way our nation has thought about traffic fatalities,” Weiser said. “This is a public health challenge. We are losing so many people, particularly young people, to suicide because of firearms.”

Abortion and marriage

Kellner said he would defend Colorado’s new law guaranteeing access to abortion and contracep tion, but he’s also said he supported the U.S. Supreme Court ruling overturning Roe v. Wade, leaving regulation of abortion to the states.

“Colorado, through its legisla ture, has spoken on the issue,” Kellner said at a debate earlier this year. “And, frankly, the people have spoken on this issue multiple times at the ballot box as well. As the at torney general, I can commit to you that I will defend the law.”

Weiser said he expects to see the abor tion debate continue.

“I will defend the principles that underlie Roe vs. Wade,” he said.

“And I believe that our nation will protect access to reproduc tive health care, but it’s going to take continuing political and legal battles.”

Both Weiser and Kellner also said in a previous debate that they would defend anyone who travels to Colorado to get an abortion despite laws in their home state prohibit ing the procedure.

Weiser: “If any other state tries to criminalize a patient or doctor here in Colorado, I will be fighting to protect Colorado’s law and patients and doctors who are here in our state.”

Kellner: “No other state can reach in and say, ‘look, we’re going to tell you, Colorado, what to do.’”

Kellner has declined to elaborate on his personal position on abor tion.

If gay marriage were challenged in the courts, Kellner said he’d also intervene. “I would defend gay marriage,” he said. “I wholly sup port (the right of) people to marry whomever they love.”

Weiser noted that marriage isn’t protected by existing Colorado law, and said that should change.

“I will push for a state constitu tion amendment in Colorado to pro tect same-sex marriage,” he said.

their minds on an issue or had to compromise.

Kellner said that as a Marine Corps lawyer he helped prosecute service members for drug use, caus ing them to be discharged from the military without benefits. Often, those people were suffering posttraumatic stress as a result of their combat deployments.

“That wasn’t the right thing to do,” Kellner said, so he helped cre ate a veteran’s treatment court in 2013 “to hopefully get them on the right path.”

Weiser said he compromised on the fentanyl bill passed by the leg islature this year. He wanted stiffer possession penalties.

“I told the speaker of the House, ‘you got to change it. It’s a prob lem,’” Weiser said. “I pushed hard, and then he came back and said, ‘the best I can do is (1 gram),’ and I said, ‘I’m sorry to hear that, but it’s better than four.’”

What else you should know

In 2019, Weiser supported a Phila delphia nonprofit in its legal battle with the Trump administration over whether the group should have been allowed to open a supervised drug consumption site in that city. The nonprofit eventually lost its case.

Weiser says he doesn’t support the concept — which was floated in Denver but shelved because of political pushback — and that he got involved because he saw it as a states’ rights issue.

“I don’t support supervised injec

tion sites in Colorado,” Weiser said during the 9News debate. “The action in Pennsylvania wasn’t because I support those sites. It’s because of a principle that states should be allowed to experiment. We have legal and regulated mari juana. At that time, Attorney Gen eral Jeff Sessions was attacking our system of legal and regulated marijuana. What I support is state authority to make decisions for themselves, to experiment.”

Weiser has been a champion of law enforcement reform, but Kell ner has staked a different position on the issue. He said he disagrees with the legislature’s 2020 move to eliminate qualified immunity for police officers, allowing them to be sued in their individual capacities.

“There are a couple of bad apples out there, and we weed them out,” he said during a debate earlier this year. “But, writ large, I think the police in Colorado do a dangerous and difficult job and they do it to the very best of their abilities. We do need to hold people accountable when they break the law. But I want to be really clear that I support the police here and the valuable work they do.”

About me

I have been working in the real estate appraisal field since 1999. I worked as a fee appraiser before hiring on with the Adams County Assessor’s Office in 2004. I worked my way up and served as the Commercial/Industrial Appraisal Supervisor before leaving Adams County in May of 2017 to run for Assessor.

I was elected to the Assessor position in 2018 and humbly ask for your support in the 2022 election.

Campaign website: KenMussoforAssessor.com

Explain the role of the County Assessor and why it matters to residents of Adams County?

The County Assessor is responsible for the management and operation of The Assessor’s Office. The major duties of an assessor can be categorized as discovering, listing, classifying, and valuing all real and personal property located within the county on the assessment date.

Property is valued by following criteria as stipulated by statute and by using manuals, appraisal procedures, and instructions issued by the Property Tax Administrator. This function includes notifying the taxpayer of the value and the administrative remedies if the taxpayer disagrees with the valuation.

The goal is to produce the tax warrant with fair and

Explain the role of the County Assessor and why it matters to residents of Adams County?

An assessor is responsible for overseeing the entire office, both operations and administration. The Assessor’s office is responsible for determining the property values for all residential, commercial, industrial and vacant land.

Our office plays a very important role for Adams County because our assessments help to determine property taxes, which fund local government services such as schools, police departments and fire departments.

What makes you the best candidate for this job?

I am a firm believer that leadership means leading by being alongside your team, leading by example, focusing on the people and working together toward the same goal.

We have work to do to build a community where everyone feels safe and has the opportunity to earn a good life.

Growing up raised by a single mother, a librarian, I learned firsthand about hard work. Then my mother unexpectedly passed when I was 20.

Assessor’s staff to be knowledgeable, helpful, and available when they need us.

If you’re elected, what single issue will be at the top of your agenda?

I have been working in the Assessor’s Office for the last four years as a Quality Control Analyst. I see many areas that can be improved upon and I want to be the driving force that can facilitate those changes so the Assessor’s Office can better serve our residents.

My main focus for serving as the Adams County Assessor are Senior Exemptions and Veterans. These groups are incomelimited so I want to make sure they know how to take advantage of existing property tax breaks so they don’t pay more taxes than they are required to.

If elected, what must you accomplish in order for you to consider your term a success?

There are two top priorities I will be focusing on.

The first is to implement a quarterly newsletter to update the citizens of Adams County on all important dates and events pertaining to property tax. Citizens deserve to stay informed because it can save them money.

The second is to review the work processes within the Assessor’s Office to ensure accuracy and efficiency. We owe it to Adams County residents to make sure the taxes they pay are not a cent more than what it should be!

What would you change regarding how the County Assessor’s o ce works?

The Assessor office is currently running fairly smoothly so there is not a lot that needs to change. One big item I want to tackle is efficiency. With the number of employees we have in the office, we can do a lot more for the citizens of Adams County. I want to make sure each employee has the knowledge and the support they need to maximize efficiency each and every day. This will ensure accuracy and save money for our citizens.

Monica Broncucia-Jordan

Profession: Chief Coroner, Adams and Broomfield Counties

City of residence: Unincorporated Adams County

About me

I have served as the Coroner for Adams and Broomfield Counties since 2010. A lifelong Adams County resident, my undergraduate degree is in pre-medicine and English. I have a Master’s degree in healthcare with an emphasis in forensic science. I have many hours of training in death investigation and the forensic sciences and completed my death investigation training at the St. Louis School of Medicine. I am a national boardcertified fellow in death investigation through the American Board of Medicolegal Death Investigators.

In the last 11 years, I have managed over 40,000 reported deaths.

Explain the role of the County Coroner and why it matters to residents of Adams County residents.

The Coroner is mandated to investigate unexpected, unnatural, and/ or unexplained deaths. It is largely a public health entity driven by science and drives public health campaigns and laws. Ensuring that deaths are investigated and classified appropriately affects the criminal justice system; the survivor/veteran benefits of the bereaved; the care and lives of at-risk populations (the elderly, disabled, and the young); and the well-being of the entire community. My Office serves nine cities, as well as unincorporated Adams County. All deaths occurring in the geographic location of our service areas are reported and assessed for the Coroner’s involvement.

What makes you the best candidate for the job?

My campaign and office values are competence, compassion, and commitment. I am passionate about providing a vital public service to the community and about compassionately serving the living by caring for the departed. This is the area in which I have committed years to gain the appropriate education, experience and training to serve my fellow citizens.

Currently, the Coroners in all level-I counties (Denver, Douglas, Arapahoe, Boulder, Jefferson, etc.), like

PINTER

Crow, and Neguse, as well as many local leaders, outlined on: emmapinter.com.

I’m proud to have business support like Denver Metro Association of Realtors, and Organizations like Conservation Colorado and Denver Area Labor Federation also support my reelection.

Our work requires balance, and to always put the people who live here first.

Adams County Coroners

myself, are board certified in death investigation and/ or forensic pathology. Electing my opponent will make Adams County the only level-I county that does not have an industry boardcertified Coroner.

If you’re elected, what single issue will be at the top of your agenda?

If elected my primary objective will continue to be fulfilling the statutory obligations of the office competently, compassionately, and in accordance with the nationally accepted medicolegal death investigation professional standards of practice.

How does the Coroner’s job fit in with other Law Enforcement professionals, such as police and district attorneys?

The Coroner’s Office is an independent office of county government that serves the living by working on behalf of the deceased. The office is an independent entity that renders an opinion on the manner and cause of death.

While the office works closely with law enforcement and the district attorney, we all have very different roles. Law enforcement is focused on community safety and crime detection/ prevention. When a death occurs that warrants law enforcement response, they are responsible for investigating and documenting if a crime occurred. They are NOT responsible for determining how and why the individual died.

If elected, what must you accomplish in order for you to consider your term a success?

I have ambitions for another term that include finalizing national accreditation of the office, following the completion of a much-needed office expansion and renovation. I would consider such an accomplishment a success.

However, what I consider a bigger success in this office, is the everyday service that is provided by coming along a bereaved family and making what is often a tragic and unbearable event a little bit easier. Serving the community well, with competence and compassion is a success. If my presence makes a meaningful difference in the lives of the citizens we serve, that is successful.

If you’re elected, what must you accomplish in order for you to consider your term a success?

Creating an economy that leaves no one out and no one behind.

This November, our rights, benefits, and freedoms are on the ballot. We need to protect our freedoms, to breathe clean air, to get the affordable health care we need, and to decide whether and when we grow our families.

A thriving local economy will create opportunities for everyone. We all deserve economic opportunity - to be able to work hard

We found the body and through a Grand Jury, ultimately convicted the murderer and his criminal co-conspirators -Only criminal investigator seeking Coroner position, whereby its the statutory responsibility to investigate and determine the manner and cause of death

Campaign website www.shaklee4coroner.com

Explain the role of the County Coroner and why it matters to residents of Adams County residents.

The Coroner’s statutory responsibility is to investigate and determine the manner and cause of death of individuals who die in Adams and Broomfi eld Counties. The offi ce should always act with the political independence of law enforcement agencies and the District Attorney’s Offi ce. The Coroner has the statutory authority to use a Coroner’s Inquest much like a Grand Jury to determine if criminality is involved in a death when the occasions occur, whereby the District Attorney’s Offi ce declines to prosecute. The Coroner essentially serves as sort of a “check and balance” acting as the voice and in the interest of the deceased.

What makes you the best candidate for the job?

My 35 years of law enforcement experience including 20 years as a Detective make me ideally suited, against an opponent who has never been a member of law enforcement nor a medical professional.

O’DORISIO

candidate endorsed by police officers, firefighters, and folks across the political spectrum (Democrats, Republicans, and Unaffiliated voters).

If you’re elected, what must you accomplish in order for you to consider your term a success?

Substantial progress on public works projects, such as I-270improvements, increased bus service, and more curbs, gutters, and sidewalks in neighborhoods.

If you’re elected, what single issue will be at the top of your agenda?

Elijah McClain’s situation in Aurora MUST NEVER happen again in Adams County. It is a tragic case on

The current Coroner botched the case and death investigation so badly that, for the first time in Adams County history, the Democrat Governor removed the case from her office by Executive Order and gave it to the Attorney General, who seated a Grand Jury. It could’ve been avoided with a Coroner’s Inquest.

Never repeating this and attracting and retaining qualified investigative personnel are my top priorities.

How does the Coroner’s job fit in with other Law Enforcement professionals, such as police and district attorneys?

The Coroner works collaboratively with all law enforcement agencies but also conducts a parallel investigation in many respects separate from law enforcement. Again, the Coroner’s Office must be “independent” and serves the best interests of the deceased and their families during the most difficult time of their life- the loss of a loved one.

If elected, what must you accomplish in order for you to consider your term a success?

I would be successful if I do not have the Governor removing cases from my office due to my incompetence.

I would consider myself successful if I “earn” the respect and the vote of the citizens of Adams County for which I serve. I serve everyone equally, Democrat, Republican or Independent. I would be successful if I have less than the well over 100 percent turnover of investigators in the current Coroner’s Office. I want people to work for my office until retirement and will treat all with compassion, dignity and respect.

What is the most pressing issue for Adams County residents and businesses and how will you address it?

Water and air quality impacts our rising cost of living, as well as health, safety, and quality of life. Many residents received disturbing notices about their water quality. Now, they don’t trust the water that comes out of their own faucets, so they spend hundreds of dollars on bottled water and/or filtering systems. In addition, residents continue to receive warnings about bad air quality days and the possible increase in gas prices resulting from

If you’re elected, what single issue will be at the top of your agenda?

The single most important issue in the Treasurer’s office is reconciling the millions of dollars currently unaccounted for. Our current democrat Treasurer has failed to reconcile over $215 million, was sued by the County Commissioners for failing to do their job and was questioned for embezzlement and incompetence.

On day one I will hire an independent forensic audit company to conduct a detailed and thorough audit of every last account and every last penny. Not only will I reconcile every account, but I will also determine if any of your taxpayer money has been embezzled and I will take necessary action.

Explain the role of the County Treasurer and why it matters to residents of Adams County.

The County Treasurer acts as the ‘Banker’ for Adams County. All countyrelated revenue and expenses move through the Treasurer’s office. The County Treasurer serves a pivotal role in the day-to-day function and operation of government. Our next Treasurer must possess the knowledge, skills and

experience to manage the Treasurer’s office and your money. And perhaps most importantly, be TRUSTWORTHY!

Alexander Villagran Profession: Treasurer City of residence: Westminster

About me

at a rewarding and good-paying job that supports your family and allows you to put your child to bed at night, clothed, fed, and safe from harm.

What is the most pressing issue for Adams County residents and businesses and how will you address it?

Protecting our Colorado way of life. We need to ensure that our residents have access to clean air, clean water, and safe recreation for ourselves, our children, and for future generations. We must stand strong to protect the Civil Rights we have come to expect in Colorado. We all value our freedoms. Freedom to retire in dignity, decide whether and when we grow our families, and know our kids will make it home safe.

We need to join together to protect our freedoms, decide our own futures, and ensure that the will of the people prevails.

What is the county’s role in fixing the current problem with a ordable housing and what would you do about it?

Stan Martin

As your County Clerk and Recorder from 2014-2018, my reputation and success were built on trust, respect and developing strong meaningful relationships with my staff, business partners, other elected offices and the County Commissioners. I have over 30 years of experience in management, accounting, finance, budgeting, contract negotiations and procurement. I am ready to work hard for the citizens of Adams County starting on day one. If elected, what must you accomplish in order for you to consider your term a success?

First and foremost, the taxpayer’s unaccounted $215 million must be located and reconciled with each individual bank account. The office must comply with state statute-required annual audits. All statute-required monthly and quarterly reports must be completed and presented to the County Commissioners.

Staff turnover is currently over 300%, this is unacceptable. Staff will be treated with the kindness, respect and appreciation they deserve.

What would you change about how the County Treasurer’s o ce is currently run?

My main concern is how employees are treated and disrespected by the current Treasurer. Hearing some of their stories, it is no surprise there’s been over 300% staff turnover. This will change.

It is time for the Treasurer’s office to move in a new direction! I will bring new positive leadership and together we’ll work to restore the county’s core values.

Right now, it’s difficult for working folks to afford housing. We need to work regionally to lower costs for both renters and homeowners. Seniors who might own a home can’t afford to move or downsize. People need access to housing they can afford to build stability so they can earn a good life.

In April we opened Caraway House. I’m proud that we turned our old Adams County Human Services building into 116 affordable housing units for families, seniors, and youth aging out of foster care. We need to work regionally to create more opportunities like Caraway House.

What can be done at the county level to reduce crime?

Across race and place, background and party, we know what keeps us safe. It’s living in communities where we look out for our neighbors. It’s having access to the great schools and healthcare we need. It also includes having people sworn to serve and protect us by preventing, investigating, and solving crimes while treating us all as equals.

Everyone who lives here deserves to feel safe in their own community.

If you’re elected, what single issue will be at the top of your agenda?

Ensure there are complete and thorough audit(s). I need to understand the complexity of the county’s fi nancial health.

Explain the role of the County Treasurer and why it matters to residents of Adams County.

The Treasurer is responsible for collecting property tax payments and disbursing monies to the approximately 300 tax entity districts, e.g., fi re, school, water, library, recreation and special districts.

A second role is to make

bad air quality.

We need to increase transparency and accountability for those who pollute our air and water. Our families depend on this effort.

What is the county’s role in fixing the current problem with affordable housing and what would you do about it?

We need to continue working with public and private partners to expand the housing supply, which includes many options across the housing spectrum. This helps new families wanting to build wealth for their lives and aging adults needing stability and comfort.

To address homelessness, we need to provide housing that includes wrap-around services that support the whole person (not just providing a roof over their head). The folks experi-

sure taxpayers behind in property tax payments are allowed “due process,” to prevent homes from being seized prematurely by banks and mortgage companies. In the third role, the Treasurer is the chairperson for the investment board for the Adams County Employees Retirement Fund.

I have been a budget analyst for the American Library Association and a former Financial Adviser passed Series 7 and 66 exams.

If elected, what must you accomplish in order for you to consider your term a success?

Create positive public opinion of the office and trust. Provide clear communication, accountability and transparency between the community stakeholders and the Treasurer’s office.

What would you change about how the County Treasurer’s office is currently run?

Ensure the day-to-day business operations are conducted in a more efficient and timely manner to meet all federal, state and local regulations. Provide a positive and welcoming work environment.

encing homelessness should be offered opportunities for shelter, mental health/addiction counseling, career/job counseling, and self-determination.

What can be done at the county level to reduce crime?

Steve is the only candidate in District 4 with law enforcement experience (Deputy District Attorney) and that is endorsed by police officers and firefighters across Adams County. He has stood up to criminals, stood up for victims, and continues to support our first responders (funding, equipment, etc).

Most importantly, we need to invest more in mental health, including more co-responders on the streets and more mental health services in the criminal justice system.

Finally, we need to continue investing in the successful Park Ranger program that has cleaned up and prevented hundreds of encampments in our parks.

State 4A softball: Ravens’ Davis turns fortunes around

BY STEVE SMITH SSMITH@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

AURORA – We’ve all had up-anddown days. Riverdale Ridge’s Aubree Davis had a down-and-really-up day Oct. 21 to open up the state 4A softball tournament.

She was the starting pitcher in the Ravens’ opener against Pueblo County. Davis didn’t make it out of the first inning. PCHS also had a 5-0 lead when RRHS changed pitchers.

Fast-forward a couple of hours and six innings. Davis’ walk-off home run gave RRHS an 8-6 win and sent the Ravens into the quarterfinals.

“I was feeling a little excitement,” she said. “That was the pivotal moment in the game. I’m glad it happened. I don’t know what kind of a pitch it was. But I know I hit it far.”

Sophia Strasia had a base hit and an RBI for Pueblo County. Malaya Parlett had two base hits and drove in a run.

“Honestly, we started off the first inning was a little rocky. But it was just a team effort,” Davis said. “I couldn’t have done what I did if it wasn’t for Jaenna (Jaenna Sandoval) and Neila (Neila Lucero) getting

on base. We came together. Brynn stepped up on the mound. And helping me out.”

Trifecta comes up short

A familiar opponent was waiting in the quarterfinals. Frederick and the Ravens are in the same conference and played twice earlier this season. RRHS won them both.

But not this time.

Frederick scored five unearned runs in the fourth inning and beat Riverdale Ridge 10-6. Davis had a base hit and two of the RBIs. Olivia Vargas had an RBI, and Sandoval and Lucero had a base hit and drove in a run. Madyson Ortiz had two hits.

Carlie Nagy had three hits and three RBIs for the golden Eagles. Lani Davis added two hits and an RBI.

“A lot of things went right in the second game. We all had our moments,” Davis said. “We did our jobs,. In the end, it was little things we couldn’t execute. It happens to everybody. It’s a game of failure.”

“I don’t have any answers. I have never seen us play that poorly,” Garza said. “I don’t know why we

couldn’t make routine plays. Our pitcher didn’t have her best stuff. We had a good week of practice. The kids worked hard. For some reason, we just didn’t have the ‘it’ factor today. I’m really, really confused as to why we played that way.”

Summary RRHS finished with a record of 23-4. The Ravens lose just one starter to graduation.

“At the end of the day, we didn’t play well. But I’m proud of the girls and how they competed, despite the fact we didn’t come with our ‘A’ game,” Garza said. ‘We found a way to win the first game against a very scrappy team. We just weren’t the same today. We won a lot of games with our pitchers. When teams started to put the ball in play, we freaked out. We’re not used to it.”

Davis plans to play in college next year. She’s not sure where yet.

“The atmosphere we had throughout the entire day was great. When we were down at times, we picked each other up. We managed to do our jobs. We were there for each other,” Davis said. “As for me, I liked hitting today.”

Riverdale Ridge’s Thompson commits to Northern Colorado

First Ravens’ baseball player to go NCAA Division 1

BY STEVE SMITH SSMITH@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Riverdale Ridge pitcher Ty Thompson has been a busy young man this summer, so much so that he lost 15 pounds since the start of spring baseball in March.

But he can relax a little more, now that he’s decided on his next baseball and education stop.

He picked the University of Northern Colorado, an NCAA Division I program. He’s the first Ravens’ baseball player to join the top level of collegiate baseball programs.

“I chose UNC for several reasons. The new head coach up there (Mike Anderson) and I have had a relationship for several years,” Thompson said. “Coach Anderson was previously the director for PBR Colorado, which is a baseball scouting service for high-school players looking to play at the next level. I had done several PBR events and got to know him through those.

Thompson also spent some time with Anderson as the coach did hitting and pitching lessons. Anderson played collegiately at UNC, was drafted, then started coaching at the University of Nebraska.

“His background, energy level and vision for the program impressed me a lot,” Thompson said. “He has a vested interest in turning the program around since he played there. He has put together a very good coaching staff that I think will help me develop into a draftable player. Coach Anderson really sold me on being from Colorado and staying to play in Colorado and being one of the guys that helps turn around the program, and I’ve really bought into that.”

Thompson said when the recruiting effort began, “I was open to any option.” He was learning toward someplace warm.

“I had options at every level of college baseball and was seriously considering taking the JUCO (junior college) route,” Thompson said. “JUCO baseball is very competitive, and I had been offered opportunities to play at schools with good baseball reputations. In the end, I chose to play at a four-year school and stay closer to home.”

Thompson and his family made an official visit to the school.

“I was impressed with how nice the school was. There are a lot of new or newer facilities,” Thompson said. “The dorms and cafeteria looked great, and they just opened

a new weight room/training facility that really blew me away. Coach Anderson also has big plans to get the field and some of the other baseball facilities upgraded. All of the players we met -- and support staff people -- were very friendly and made me feel comfortable.”

Thompson wants to study business/finance. His goal is to be drafted into Major League Baseball.

“I understand that that is going to be a very hard thing to accomplish but am going to focus there for now,” he said. “I also understand that at some point the game ends and real life begins. I really enjoy fishing and the outdoors when I get the time away from baseball. I hope to be able to have a business that allows me to be involved in those activities in some way -- maybe a fly shop and guide business or something like that.”

COVID’s impact on recruiting was felt far and wide. Schools cut back on the number of available scholarships once the NCAA said athletes who were in their senior year of competition could stay one more season.

“The pandemic caused there to be rule changes that really caused a log jam in college baseball that had a real impact on the 2022 and

2023 high-school classes,” Thompson said. “The transfer portal is a nightmare for high-school players. College coaches are looking to the portal to recruit before they consider high-school players in many cases. There are still a lot of talented Colorado players looking for spots. It was a very frustrating and stressful experience but worked out in the end for me.”

Mentally, Thompson is ready to take the next step. The physical side is another issue.

“I need some time to get ready. It has been a long road this summer and fall with all of the travel and games I played,” Thompson said. “I’ve lost 15 pounds since highschool baseball started. I’m already back in the weight room and plan to put on some weight and add strength in order to compete at the college level. We also have a little unfinished business at Riverdale that needs to be taken care of next season.”

Ty Thompson

said. “UNC has 10 College World Series appearances, but none since 1974. I think it would be amazing to be on a team from Colorado to go to the World Series. Baseball players from Colorado don’t get a lot of respect nationally, but that is starting to change some. Colorado teams and players are having success.

Coach Anderson wants to recruit Colorado kids and, hopefully, we will be able to do our part to change the national perception of Colorado

Michael McIntosh

Profession: Law Enforcement. Currently serving as Chief Deputy, Douglas County Sheriff’s Office City of residence: Brighton, CO

About me

I’ve been an Adams County resident nearly all my life. My wife of 35 years, children, and grandchildren all call Adams County home.

When I joined the U.S. Navy, I discovered my passion for community service. Shortly after my tour of duty, I started with the Adams County Sheriff’s Office to serve people closer to home. During my 34 years with the Sheriff’s Office, I’ve worked in nearly every position and in every division, ultimately becoming Sheriff until my retirement in 2019. I entered the Sheriff’s campaign to restore trust between the ACSO and our community.

What makes you the best candidate for job?

Trusted leadership is the best way to fight against escalating

Adams County Sheri

crime. My opponent has been out of law enforcement leadership for nearly four years, but I have continued to lead agencies through current, unique challenges.

My past experience as the Adams County Sheriff is key. I have the support of law enforcement personnel and they trust my leadership. I’ve already undergone the huge learning curve of the Sheriff’s role. My extensive training and experience are the foundation to immediately begin working with deputies, law enforcement partners and members of the community to provide the best possible service to Adams County.

If elected, how will your Adams County Sheri ’s Department di er from the current department?

When I retired as the Adams County Sheriff in 2019, it was heartbreaking to watch community focus erode.

As your next Sheriff, I’ll lead the charge to focus on serving our community and all of the different cultures represented in Adams County. In the last four years,

relationships between the Sheriff’s Office and other police agencies have also deteriorated. I’ve met with police chiefs and know we’re like-minded when it comes to prioritizing crime, joining efforts, and pooling resources. Together we’ll work toward making Adams County a safer, more enjoyable place to live.

What reforms, if any, should the Adams County Sheri ’s Department enact to fairly police and protect all county residents?

In nearly 35 years of law enforcement, I’ve not seen collaboration collapse the way it has. We must stop working in a silo and establish open communication within our diverse community. I’ve already formed an ACTION Team (Adams County Transparency in our Neighborhoods) to listen to representatives from different backgrounds, cultures, and religious beliefs. We listen carefully to learn how we can better respond to different needs and different situations. Instead of a one-size-fits-all approach to law enforcement, we can make sure we’re taking care of the specific needs in the different cultures represented in Adams County.

Does the Adams County Sheri ’s Department have an adequate budget and sta ? Law enforcement in Adams

County has generally been well supported with adequately funded budgets. However, pay raises for deputies and staff have not kept us with the metro-area job market. This must be addressed and is one of the reasons the Sheriff’s Office is currently short 40 deputies. There are other major factors involved as well, including a lack of trust in the current administration, a tarnished brand, and the absence of a common mission. All of these issues will be addressed and rectified within my 90-day leadership plan.

What can be done at the county level to reduce crime?

My crime reduction plan has three main elements:

1) Earn trust/respect of deputies. I’ve spent my career working on this. In fact, deputies asked me to come out of retirement and begin my campaign.

2) Restore connection with law enforcement partners. Once we unify, agencies can prevail upon the DA and legislators to help our efforts to reduce crime.

3) Connect with community groups. As mentioned above, I am already fully vested in this process and will restore community connection that I worked so hard to establish as your Sheriff from 2015-2019. https://bringmacback. com/blog/scale-back-crime

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT EARLY NOTICE AND PUBLIC REVIEW OF A PROPOSED ACTIVITY IN A WETLAND

& RIVERDALE ROAD

Date of Publication: October 27, 2022 City of Thornton 9471 Dorothy Blvd Thornton, CO 80229 720-977-5800

To: All interested Federal, State, and Local Agen cies, Groups, and Individuals

This is to give notice that the City of Thornton (City) has conducted an evaluation as required by Executive Order 11990, in accordance with HUD regulations at 24 CFR 55.20 Subpart C Pro cedures for Making Determinations on Floodplain Management, to determine the potential affect

that its activity in the wetland will have on the hu man environment for the 100th Avenue Sidewalk Improvements under the city’s 2020 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program.

The City is proposing to install an 8-foot-wide con crete sidewalk along the northwest corner of East 100th Avenue and Riverdale Road with two Ameri cans with Disabilities Act (ADA) directional ramps connecting the northwest corner and southwest corner. The sidewalk on the north side of East 100th Avenue would tie into an existing sidewalk in front of the Pine Lakes Ranch community, just west of the Colorado Agricultural Canal. The proj ect would extend the existing canal culvert under East 100th Avenue to the north to accommodate the new sidewalk and multiple utility locates. The sidewalk on the west side of Riverdale Road would tie into the existing sidewalk on the north end of the 10023 Riverdale Road property. Additionally, the City is proposing to extend the culvert currently associated with the Colorado Agricultural Canal (Canal) in the project area. The City is proposing to connect to the existing reinforced concrete pipe with a concrete collar and install 18-inch-thick grouted riprap downstream of the proposed culvert extension. Construction of the culvert extension would result in 0.004-acre permanent impact and a 0.002 acre temporary impact to wetlands located adjacent to the Canal.

There are three primary purposes for this notice. First, people who may be affected by activities in wetlands and those who have an interest in the protection of the natural environment should be given an opportunity to express their concerns and provide information about these areas. Second, an adequate public notice program can be an important public educational tool. The dissemina tion of information about wetlands can facilitate and enhance Federal efforts to reduce the risks associated with the occupancy and modification of these special areas. Third, as a matter of fairness, when the Federal government determines it will participate in actions taking place in wetlands, it must inform those who may be put at greater or continued risk.

PUBLIC COMMENTS

Written comments must be received by the City of Thornton at the following address on or before November 14, 2022, City of Thornton, Community Connections Division, 9471 Dorothy Blvd, Thorn ton, CO 80229 and 720-977-5800, during the hours of 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM.
