Invasive zebra mussels have “infested” the water at Colorado’s Highline Lake — a reservoir north

After the first adult zebra mussel was found in the reservoir Sept. 14, Parks and Wildlife staff found almost a dozen more of the mussels in the same body of water on Oct. 21 and 22. Soon after, the department changed the status of the lake from “suspect” to “infested,” according to

Westminster decides to receive opioid settlement funds

City will participate in massive legal settlement

BY LUKE ZARZECKI LZARZECKI@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Westminster is set to participate in a multi-millions-dollar legal settlement involving opioids and a plan to fund everything from drug education to addressing drugs in the criminal-justice system.

Members of the city council voted unanimously on Oct. 24 to be part of the plan brokered by Colorado officials.

The money, city officials say, will help recoup losses linked to the ongoing “nationwide opioid crisis,” a pervasive problem “highly destructive to the lives and livelihoods” of city residents. It has also hit the city hard, officials say, burdening an “already-stressed” emergencyresponse system.

The state expects to collect upwards of $400 million. It created 19 different regions to decide how to distribute 60% of the funds. Also, 20% will go to local governments.

Westminster stands to gain in several ways. Since the city lies in both Jefferson and Adams counties, it is in two regions: 10 and 8, respectively. The city also qualifies for local government funds.

Regions may designate the mon-

ey for drug treatment, prevention, education and/or other programs as well as use it to address the impact of drug issues in the criminaljustice system. Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser said regions will decide specifically where the money will be spent. Its source is litigants that include Johnson & Johnson, McKinsey & Company, Purdue Pharma, Mallinckrodt and the Sackler family. Some funds are pending the outcome of other legal proceedings.

Drug deaths

Opioid deaths have risen dramatically in recent years, including those related to fentanyl.

A brief from the Colorado Criminal Justice Reform Coalition links fentanyl, a synthetic opioid, to the opioid crisis.

“People who were unable to continue obtaining prescriptions for opioid drugs often turned to heroin, then to fentanyl as synthetic drugs became more available,” the brief states. “Fentanyl potency is extremely unpredictable, with a rapid onset of effect and a quick duration of action, meaning its effects are felt quickly and do not last very long (about 30–60 minutes). As a result, people consume it multiple times a day to stave off withdrawal symptoms.”

Thornton hosts Dia de Los Muertos celebration

Food, music, memories planned for Nov. 5

Thornton hopes to mark the Dia de Los Muertos Nov. 5 with food, music and acts –but also with personal memories.

One of the key elements for Thornton’s celebration, which runs from noon until 5 p.m. Nov. 5 at the McAllister Park Center at750 W. 96th Ave., will be the Ofrenda, or memorial altar.

This is the sixth year Thornton has hosted the celebration.

Thornton’s celebration is based on the traditional Mexican celebration for the community to remember and honor their deceased loved ones.

This year’s free family-friendly event will feature food trucks, facepainting, a stilt walker, a strolling magician, Salsa and Mariachi music, youth dancers, art market, and a Katrina costume contest with prizes.

Residents are also encouraged to bring photos or tokens from

current maximum is three. The number would rise to eight by 2026, 13 by 2031, 20 by 2036 and be unlimited by 2037.

With the increase, large retail stores like King Soopers, Safeway and Total Beverage would be able to sell alcohol in more locations. Opponents of the measure argue that will funnel business away from the local and neighborhood stores.

“It’s hard to tell ahead of time, but we will almost have to change the way that we sell our beer and change the things we pride ourselves on,” Stephans said. “One big thing for us is we want to keep Colorado as local as possible.”

Most of Loveland Aleworks’ accounts are local liquor stores. That’s because they’re able to meet with owners directly. When they get a green light from a store, it can happen on the spot or shortly after. But getting their product onto the shelves of a big chain is a different matter. It can take about a year to get an approval, if one comes at all.

The event is sponsored by the City of Thornton, TASHCO (the Thornton Arts, Sciences and Humanities Council), the Denver Mexican Cultural Center and Metro Denver’s Science and Cultural Facilities District.

For his store, those less-wellknown beers sell well and the relationship between the local brewers and local shops is vital to the region’s economy.

Singh pointed to 2019 when the legislature gave grocery stores the OK to sell beer. He lost business due to increased competition and heard the same from other local store owners, including one in Commerce City that lost two-thirds of its revenues almost overnight.

Who’s for it?

According to the Colorado Secretary of State’s website, Colorado Fine Wines & Spirits LLC, addressed in Bethesda, Maryland, donated over $11.5 million to the issue committee supporting the initiative.

It’s the same address as Total Wine & More, which is owned by U.S. Rep. David Trone from Maryland. Total Wine & More, according to reporting done by the Colorado Sun, spent over $2 million supporting the measure.

A spokesperson for Total Wine & More said it would be “correcting a gross imbalance in current law.”

For liquor store owners like Singh, the proposition changes the liquor store experience and that’s a reason to vote against it, though he understands some people want the convenience of buying alcohol while shopping for groceries.

He also understands hardworking owners’ motives to expand and open new locations. He said he works 15-16 hours every day of the week and hopes to expand his business, but emphasizes how smaller stores are more responsive to customer choices than big chains.

A decent selection of microbrews isn’t always easy to find in big chain stores, he said.

The Colorado Chamber of Commerce also supports the measure. In a news release, they wrote Proposition 124 would allow liquor stores to open more locations.

“Colorado has been long overdue to rethink the way we approach liquor licensing,” said Colorado Chamber president and CEO Loren Furman in a release. “This is about helping some of our hardest-hit businesses recover from ongoing economic challenges while also giving consumers more options when it comes to how and where they choose to purchase alcohol. Together, these common-sense ballot initiatives will help bring Colorado’s alcohol regulatory environment into the 21st century.”

Grocer donates 250 food bags for needy kids

BY BELEN WARD

King Soopers has donated food to a handful of non-profits that help families in need, including Food for Hope, a Thornton non-profit.

The grocer said in a press release

that the effort was meant to help feed 250 hungry children in Adams County and 2,500 kids across the state. The donation was part of the grocer’s Zero Hunger/Zero Waste mission, where food is donated before it perishes and has to be thrown away.

The food is meant to help kids who

qualify to receive free lunches at schools, which might be their only meal of the day. The food bags will provide food for the kids on the weekends, King Soopers and City Market said in a press release.

The bags include canned vegetables, fruit cups, cookies and granola bars.

“A donation like this from King Soopers has a huge positive impact on our organization because we can turn around and distribute this food to families that visit our food banks all across Adams County,” said Emily Stromquist, executive director of Food for Hope.

Westminster seeks volunteers for city-wide clean-up

Thornton council to vote on fracking sites

BY LUKE ZARZECKI LZARZECKI@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The Thornton City Council will vote on a potentially contentious proposal to allow 10 fracking wells at the southeast corner of the E-470 and I-25 intersection. Residents who live within a half-mile radius will receive notices for a community meeting about the issue that takes place on Nov. 7, ahead of the council’s expected Nov. 29 vote on the matter.

City Council member Kathy Henson is asking that residents beyond the half-mile radius notified.

“This is something people obviously have feelings for and against

happening in their community,” said Henson.

Assistant City Attorney Erika Delaney Lew said there are about 35 residential parcels in the half-mile radius. Roughly 20 more are primarily commercial.

Lew said residents beyond the radius are welcome to attend the meeting as it is public.

Mayor Jan Kulmann asked that the proposal be posted on the City of Thornton’s website.

Civitas Resources Inc., which bought land from Sands Partners LLC, wants to develop the wells on 3.6 acres. The proposal comes amid another next to the proposed frack-

ing site awaiting council approval: a 1.3-million-square-foot warehouse development.

The site would require emission-reduction measures, including ongoing 24-hour computerized monitoring, response during ozone alert days in the region and leak detection and repair inspections.

Air hazards

Jeffrey L. Collett, a professor at Colorado State University’s school of engineering, said fracking sites are a source of air pollution, including benzene, which may pose a health concern, including cancer, to those who live near operations over time.

Otterstetter said the city is encouraging residents who can’t make the main event to carry the spirit with them before and after November 11. Otterstetter wants residents to feel empowered to participate whenever their schedule allows.

Scientists found living, working or going to school within 2,000 feet of sites emitting benzene leads to health risks.

Other chemicals emitted from fracking operations, like methane and nitrogen oxide, may affect the broader community, he said, adding that methane contributes to global warming.

“Oil and gas developments along the Front Range can contribute to the regional ozone and fine particles haze episodes that we have,” he said. “Those aren’t a concern for those living next to the operation, but more for everybody living in the bigger region of 100 miles or more.”

“Walk outside. Enjoy the fresh air. And help protect our waterways,” she says.

defecate or dry out on shorelines, they can cause a rancid smell, making it less desirable for people to recreate in these areas, said Robert Walters, CPW’s invasive species program manager.

Now, the agency will have increased sampling and monitoring efforts at Highline Lake to help contain the infestation. They also have implemented a special program where they will inspect and decontaminate every boat that leaves the lake to stop the species from spreading to other bodies of water, he said.

“This is incredibly concerning,” Walters said Wednesday. CPW’s invasive species leaders are evaluating other steps to contain the mussels, he said.

There currently are no boats on Highline Lake, since the boating season ended Sept. 30, and so it is unlikely that the zebra mussels will be shuffled around by recreation, at this point, Walters said.

Highline Lake, which is northwest of Grand Junction and just a few miles east of the Utah border, is considered “high risk” for the spreading of mussels from boats. Many boats pass through the lake from out of state, particularly from Lake Powell on the Utah-Arizona border, a popular destination for Colorado boaters. Lake Powell has been infested with invasive mussels since 2012.

Now that Highline Lake is considered infested, it must go five years without further detections to be

listed as free of mussels.

Colorado Parks and Wildlife leaders have been concerned for years about the possibility of zebra and quagga mussels popping up across the state. The department conducted an awareness campaign ahead of Memorial Day, when the boating season generally kicks off in Colorado, to encourage people to get their boats inspected each time they enter and exit Colorado’s waterways.

The department stepped up enforcement of its 15-year-old Aquatic Nuisance Species Program, a statewide decontamination program, where inspectors at 73 locations decontaminate people’s boats. Since the program’s inception in 2008, almost 500,000 boats have

been inspected annually. Parks and Wildlife staff deploy instruments into high risk reservoirs for the purpose of detecting invasive species. Staff found the first zebra mussel in mid-September during this kind of water sampling.

Colorado is not free of all invasive aquatic nuisance species. Some bodies of water in Colorado contain Eurasian watermilfoil, for example, which grows quickly and blocks sunlight, and can kill off native aquatic plants that fish and other underwater species rely on for food and shelter.

Now, after the new detection, CPW staff are asking people to help stem the spread of zebra mussels by ensuring that any boating equipment that enters Highline Lake, and any

other body of water in the state, is clean, drained and dried, in between each use. Mussel infestations are increasing across the nation each year, Walters said.

“As more and more people use our water resources for boating, we must continue to work tirelessly to prevent the spread of these harmful invasive species,” said Heather Dugan, acting director for Colorado Parks and Wildlife.

Voting experts note state’s ‘Gold Standard’

BY VIGNESH RAMACHANDRAN COLORADO NEWS COLLABORATIVE

For 102 years, the League Of Women Voters has helped Americans understand how they can cast their vote in elections.

The nonpartisan organization has never en dorsed a political party or candidate, providing a valuable resource for voters of all political persua sions.

The Colorado News Collaborative is speaking with nonpartisan experts to help voters under stand more about the integrity of the vote as unfounded claims of voter fraud continue to run rampant ahead of November’s midterm election.

Beth Hendrix is executive director of the League of Women Voters of Colorado, which educates vot ers about the security and efficacy of Colorado’s election system. The group recently published a whitepaper breaking down the components of the state’s voting system to explain why it often is regarded as leading the nation. It also produced a nonpartisan guide to the 11 state issues on Colo rado’s ballot this year in English and Spanish.

This Q&A has been edited for clarity and length.

Some have said Colorado’s election system is better than those in all other states. Is that true?

Absolutely. We say [it’s the] gold standard. There are a few states that are close behind — Washing ton, Oregon. It’s always the Western states.

Why? Aren’t there aspects to Colorado’s election system that need improvements?

Here in Colorado, we’re doing pretty well. That said, we have people in our legislature that want to get rid of mail-in ballots and want to go back to voting only on Election Day because they feel that’s the only way it can be secure. I disagree. The League disagrees.

Other states are purging voter rolls, making it more difficult to vote, and that’s not happening in

Colorado, yet. We’re going to do everything we can to not allow it to happen.

We’re not resting on our laurels [in Colorado], but we’re good. We have a safe and secure and in novative system that’s ahead of any place else in the nation.

How hard would it be to defraud the vote in Colorado?

I think it would be pretty darn hard [to defraud the vote in Colorado].

I suppose that someone could take their spouse’s ballot and forge a signature, and then hope their spouse didn’t complain. But I don’t think it hap pens.

How can we trust that every vote gets counted in Colorado?

Counties have a small bit of variation, autonomy in how they do it. But generally speaking, a ballot is never alone with only one person. There are always at least two and usually a group of bipar tisan people. The number of safeguards is pretty extraordinary.

The complaint I hear most is that voter registra tion rolls aren’t up to date and that dead people still get ballots and things like that. I’m sure that does happen. But overall, Colorado keeps its voter registration rolls pretty well up-to-date — partner ing with the Postal Service for change of address, social security death index, the Electronic Regis tration Information Center (ERIC) to make sure people aren’t voting in other states.

Then there’s the ballot tracing. You can sign up very easily for ballot tracing. And you get a text when your ballot is opened, when it’s counted. So the process is very transparent, while maintaining security.

What are common misconceptions about Colorado’s election security?

The process is sometimes seen as more partisan than it is — that political parties have a say in the counting. And while the political parties have elec

tion judges there, it is bi-, tri- multi-partisan. People [also] think that the process of counting ballots is up to just a small handful of people, it’s very secretive and nobody knows what’s going on. It’s just not true.

People don’t understand how easy it is to get involved in poll watching, if they so choose. A lot of people think that it’s a secretive, closed, nontransparent process, and that is not the case.

So, in addition to poll-watching, how can someone who is skeptical of the process better understand it?

Call your county clerk and ask for a tour, but it’s kind of a bad time of year to make that request. They’re getting threatened and harassed like never before. We just had to pass a law to protect election workers.

Are there other concerns you have about our democracy in Colorado?

People not being able to recognize opinion ver sus fact — looking at Tucker Carlson and Rachel Maddow as newscasters as opposed to opinioncasters. We’ve been trying to also put out informa tion about news literacy.

The League has used our volunteers as govern ment watchdogs and observers since our founding 102 years ago. We’re now expanding that to allow those trained observers to bolster local news, where there are news deserts. If there’s just one little newspaper with one reporter down in Cortez, and they can’t get to the city council meetings and the county commission meetings and the meeting of the water board … our observers are going to do that and report out about what happened at that meeting, if sunshine laws are being followed, if be havioral norms are being followed, things like that.

Denver pauses e-bike rebate program for rest of 2022

Bigger comeback next year

BY MICHAEL BOOTH THE COLORADO SUN

It’s official: E-bike hungry Denver residents burned through three years and $9 million of subsi dies in just six months, and now we need to pause and think about what we’ve done.

Denver’s Office of Climate Ac tion, Sustainability and Resiliency announced this week it will stop releasing new e-bike purchase vouchers for the rest of 2022. The planned $9 million bike program, paid for with the 2020 climate sales tax, has “put 4,401 e-bikes on the streets and trails of Denver,” ac cording to city officials, and cut the price of the average bike in half.

After overwhelming demand for the rebates when the program first launched earlier this year, Denver had hoped to stretch out spending and provide more frequent oppor tunities by putting out monthly batches of vouchers. More releases were scheduled for early Novem ber and December.

Instead, the rebates are coming to a halt while city officials decide how much additional money to bring into the e-bike program for a 2023 relaunch. E-bike rebates were meant to be only one part of an initial $9 million in spending that also included rebates on home elec trification, including solar panels and heat pumps. All the programs are paid for by the 0.25% sales tax for climate programs passed by voters in 2020 and meant to raise about $40 million a year.

Income-qualified buyers can receive up to $1,200 vouchers to buy e-bikes from an approved list of Denver bike shops. The rebates start at $400 for those who do not qualify by income, though some local bike shops add in other discounts. An extra $500 rebate is available for more expensive cargo bikes used to haul kids, groceries or tools.

“We’re honored to be a part of transforming the way Denver wants to move around,” said cli mate office director Grace Rink,

in a release. “We’re eager to bring back an expanded program that will serve more Denverites.”

Those running climate programs hope e-bike trips — fueled more and more by clean electricity as the grid transforms with renew able generating sources — will re place fossil fuel-driven car trips for work, school or errands. Denver, though, has still not announced a plan to formally measure actual car trip reductions. E-bikes can be pedaled like a traditional bike, but the rechargeable battery pack pro vides pedal assist to ease the work, or in some models, a hand-twisted throttle to accelerate much like a motorcycle.

“Denver’s success with their e-bike rebate program offers a great national model for how to help shift trips in cities to address air quality and climate issues, and solve for people’s transportation needs,” said Piep Van Heuven, di rector of government relations for Bicycle Colorado. “The majority of trips in cities are a distance of 6 miles or less, the perfect distance for an e-bike trip.”

Denver has tweaked the program to try to ensure lower-income residents in need of new transpor tation will benefit from e-bikes, which can run into the thousands of dollars. Just under half the rebates have been used by incomequalified residents, the climate office said.

Colorado officials are preparing details on their own $12 million e-bike rebate program, which will allow vouchers for those outside Denver city limits. State officials have said they will consider al lowing purchases through online retailers or big box stores to increase access for rural buyers. That program won’t begin until early 2023.

Colorado health insurance rates set to rise

BY JOHN INGOLD THE COLORADO SUN

Prices for people who buy health insurance on their own are set to increase next year in Colorado — but not quite by as much as initially proposed.

When insurers first filed rates with the state this summer, they requested an 11% increase in premium prices in the individual market, which is the category of the health insurance market that covers people who buy insurance without help from an employer. In finalized rates released Tuesday, that increase had dropped to 10.4%.

In the small group market, where small companies buy insurance for their employees, premium prices are set to increase by an average of 7.4%. Insurers had originally requested a 9.2% increase.

Regulators at the state’s Division of Insurance must approve premium rates each year for the two markets, after examining whether the proposed prices are reasonably supported by the market circumstances. Most of the time, that results in the final rates being lower than those initially proposed, though sometimes it goes in the other direction if the division finds that the proposed rates are not sustainable.

“The rate review team worked their magic like they do every year,” Michael Conway, Colorado’s insurance commissioner, said in talking about the lower-than-initially-proposed increases in the final rates.

Limiting increases by slimming down profits

One way regulators reduced the proposed increases is by targeting insurers’ profit margins. When companies file their proposed rates they have to include a breakdown of how they arrived at their figures — how much of the premium goes to paying for prescription drugs, how much for hospital care, how much for administrative costs, how much for profits, and so on.

Conway said regulators this year limited insurers to a 2% profit margin, which for some insurers brought down their overall increase.

“They worked on the profit margin in particular and got the health insurers to agree to reduce their profits,” Conway said, referring to his rate-review team.

How much insurers are increasing their prices varies pretty widely.

Kaiser Permanente, for instance, did not request a rate increase in the individual market, and Denver Health Medical Plans is set to drop its rates by 2.6%. But Friday, Health Plans will increase its rates by an average of 25.1%, which is actually more than the 24.2% increase initially proposed for the individual market. Cigna, Anthem and Rocky Mountain Health Plans all have increases that are lower than what they proposed.

Why some people could end up paying less

For people in the individual market, though, these rates are not necessarily what they will pay for

coverage. People who shop on the state’s health insurance exchange, Connect for Health Colorado, and who qualify for premium subsidies could end up paying a lot less.

The reason has to do with how the subsidies are calculated, Conway said. When premium rates go up, the value of the subsidies also goes up, meaning consumers have more power to effectively buy their premium rates down. On top of that, Congress extended the enhanced subsidies first made available in the pandemic-era American Rescue Plan Act. That means a lot more people will be eligible for subsidies.

Conway said roughly 80% of the people who shop for individual health insurance on the state’s exchange are eligible for subsidies. And, for subsidy-eligible people in some parts of Colorado, the portion of their premiums that they pay is set to drop. Conway said that people in Summit County who receive subsidies and who auto-renew their existing plans could see what they pay for insurance premiums drop by up to 38%. That’s despite the underlying premiums in Summit County rising by an average of 8%.

As with previous years, Conway and other state officials say that consumers who are just shopping on price will likely be able to find less expensive options than what they currently have.

Did the Colorado Option succeed? It’s a muddle.

Next year also marks the rollout of the Colorado Option, the muchtouted initiative backed by Gov. Jared Polis to create a governmentdesigned health insurance plan that is sold by private insurance companies. The standardized Colorado Option plan requires certain basic benefits — like $0 primary care and mental health care visits — while also requiring insurers to sell the plan at progressively lower prices. So, did it work?

To Conway, the answer is yes. In a news release, the Division of Insurance said consumers will be able “to collectively save $14.7 million by shopping and choosing the lowest cost Colorado Option plan in their preferred metal tier (bronze, silver or gold).”

The division also said that consumers in all but one county will be able to buy Colorado Option plans at the gold, silver and bronze levels that are at or below the average price for plans in those respective tiers. In Jackson County, only the silver level will have a Colorado Option plan at or below average price.

“The Colorado Option, which is being offered for the first time, allows participants to better understand what they are paying for and prioritizes mental and physical well being intended to better support total wellness,” Lt. Gov. Dianne Primavera said in a statement.

But, to insurers, the Colorado Option failed to live up to its promises. Amanda Massey, the executive director of the Colorado Association of Health Plans, a trade group, said most of the lowest-cost plans across Colorado next year will not be Colorado Option plans. While insurers were told to price Colorado Option plans lower, they were also required to make the rates actuarially sound,

meaning they had to be sustainable based on the level of services that plans provide.

“There were a number of decisions made that were part of the development of the Colorado Option that would fundamentally make hitting the targets almost impossible,” she said.

The organization Colorado’s Health Care Future said in a news release that non-Colorado Option plans in many counties will have premiums that are 5% to 10% below the Colorado Option’s prices in those counties. The organization is a project of the Partnership for America’s Health Care Future Action, which is itself an alliance of national insurance, hospital and pharmaceutical lobbying groups.

Competing with themselves?

Conway said he has not completed an analysis of how many insurers’ Colorado Option plans hit the pricing goals — though Massey said she believes a number did not. He argued that having non-Colorado Option plans priced lower than the Colorado Option plans shows how the initiative has led to greater competition in the marketplace. Basically, he argued, insurers are pricing other plans lower to make them competitive against the Colorado Option.

“They’re almost competing with themselves,” he said. “They’re trying to reduce their premiums to account for the fact that the Colorado Option is bringing premiums down.”

Massey disagreed with that idea. She noted a number of other legislative mandates passed in recent years — things like insulin price caps and rules requiring increased spending on primary care — that her association’s members estimate have increased insurance premiums by more than 5%.

She also pointed to the withdrawal of a couple of insurance companies from the Colorado market — both Oscar Health and Bright Health decided not to offer plans in the state for 2023. Both withdrawals were part of national pullbacks by the companies, but Massey said their decisions are hard to square with a picture of the Colorado insurance market as a place where carriers can thrive.

“I don’t know that we would say that the market has gotten more competitive,” she said.

Consumer advocates placed blame for rising premium prices on the health care industry. Mannat Singh, the executive director of the Colorado Consumer Health Initiative said the industry “shouldn’t use the ongoing pandemic or inflation to hike company profits.”

“Insurers and hospitals are not making enough of an effort to meet the required reductions for some Colorado Option plans, but are instead setting a baseline for failing to hit the targets without reasonable justification,” Singh said.

Often the only man in the room

Nurse-midwife student pushes back against stereotypes

BY DANA KNOWLES, LINDSEY FORD ROCKY MOUNTAIN PBS

According to the American Midwifery Certification Board (AMCB), of the more than 13,000 AMCBcertified nurse-midwives across the United States, 85% of them are white and only 39 (0.3%) are men.

Alvarez hopes to change that. He said that as the population of pregnant people becomes more diverse, so should those who provide their health care.

“I have had and seen [pregnant] patients who did not identify as women. They are non-binary, or they identify as men,” Alvarez added, saying that nurse-midwives are part of the community, not outsiders telling patients what to do. “Nurse midwives do more than just see you at the time of your visit. They know you outside the hospital and inside the home. They are concerned about your health and, do you have child care? Do you have access to healthy food and transportation? It’s knowing more than just what you are in that moment.”

One of the main reasons Alvarez chose this profession is its history.

“In the antebellum South, many of the enslaved women were the primary caretakers of the women

in their communities. They were the ones delivering the babies, even those of their enslavers. But then the white male physician comes along and says, ‘That Black woman is uneducated, she is dirty and you should not get care from her.’ OBGYNs [obstetrician gynecologists] have been delivering babies for 100 to 200 years; midwives have been doing it for millennia,” he explained.

Alvarez also pointed out that he sees dads getting more involved in caregiving for their newborn babies after watching him help their partners.

“They’re like, ‘Wait, this guy is supporting my wife? Let me go in there and let me do something, or maybe I can change my baby’s diaper too!’” Alvarez said. “They don’t feel the need to be on the opposite side of the curtain while their wife is having a baby.”

Alvarez told Rocky Mountain PBS that sometimes, his patients are so over the moon to have someone who looks or speaks like them.

“I’ve had patients who were so excited because, ‘Oh my god, my nurse is Black! How amazing is that?’ Or when I speak Spanish to my Spanish-speaking patients they are just like, ‘Thank goodness.’”

Statistics from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention show that Black women are three times more likely to die from a pregnancyrelated cause than white women. Alvarez ultimately hopes to change that and care for people, which is at

the core of his motivations.

“At the end of the day, I came into this profession knowing that I want to help women and help my sisters of color,” he said. “I want to do some good and do right by people.”

‘The nation’s report card’ shows big declines in math in Colorado

BY JASON GONZALES CHALKBEAT COLORADO

Colorado students posted the lowest scores in more than a decade on the test known as “the nation’s report card,” with the steepest declines in middle school math and with Hispanic students losing the most ground. And while Colorado students posted better reading scores than did students in 27 other states, that was largely because other states lost even more ground.

The learning loss from 2019 to 2022 on the National Assessment of Educational Progress, known as NAEP, points to the devastating impact the pandemic has had on the education of children in almost every pocket of Colorado and the nation.

While research has already shown that academic progress reversed, NAEP results released Monday provide the most detailed and authoritative accounting yet, with data coming from a representative set of students nationwide and allowing for comparisons across states and some cities.

“The results are appalling and unacceptable,” U.S. Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona said. “This is a moment of truth. How we respond will determine our standing in the world.”

This year’s results reaffirm what Colorado education leaders and teachers already knew thanks to statewide assessments: Students fell behind.

But parents, teachers, and stu-

dents are working hard to rebound, said Joyce Zurkowski, Colorado Department of Education chief assessment officer.

“There are some indications that things are on the way back up,” she said. “But there’s work to do.”

What is NAEP?

Mandated by Congress, the national assessment tests math and reading skills in fourth and eighth grades roughly every two years among a random sampling of students — about 450,000 students in 10,000 schools in 2022. The administrators break down scores by state and for select cities that vary with each test.

Denver was one of 26 urban districts that NAEP sampled last winter. Outside of those cities, NAEP does not issue district scores.

Unlike state exams, the NAEP tests are low stakes for students, teachers, and schools. But the NAEP test offers a valuable look at the progress of the nation.

“We knew results would reflect historic disruptions to schools,” said Peggy Carr, commissioner of the National Center for Education Statistics, which organizes the test. “NAEP results should give us all pause. They also remind us how essential schools are for our children and families.”

Colorado dip in math skills

The Colorado Measure of Academic Success, or CMAS, standardized tests show students recovering

ground from 2021 but still below pre-pandemic levels in most cases. Similar to NAEP, the state’s test scores show particularly concerning drops in middle school math scores and draw attention to the impacts on students who transitioned to more complex material in a highly disrupted environment.

NAEP shows fourth grade Colorado math scores declined steeply. Proficiency dropped by one-quarter, from about 44% of students in 2019 to 36% of students this year. Eighth grade math proficiency fell by about the same proportion, from 37% of students in 2019 to 28% this year.

Colorado reading skills did not decline as much. On the fourthgrade test, 38% of students tested proficient, down from 40% in 2019. In eighth grade, 34% of students tested proficient, compared with 38% in 2019.

In Denver, reading scores declined similarly. Fourth-grade proficiency scores fell from 32% to 29%, and eighth-grade scores fell from 29% to 28% — which may not be statistically significant — from 2019.

Denver fourth-grade math proficiency dipped from 35% of students in 2019 to 28% this year. Eighth grade proficiency also fell, from 29% in 2019 to 22% of students this year.

In both Colorado and Denver, Hispanic students experienced greater declines in most grades and subjects than did other student groups. The pandemic pummeled Colorado’s Hispanic families, who have suffered higher death rates and more job losses. An estimated two-thirds of Colorado children without internet access are Hispanic, and many of them had parents working essential jobs and who could not stay home with them.

Zurkowski said learning gaps among Hispanics remain an area of “significant concern.” The state has some of the largest gaps in the nation between Hispanic and white students.

Students faced many challenges during COVID

The pandemic imposed hardships and barriers to student learning:

switches between remote and hybrid classes, quarantines and other disruptions, spotty internet access, and general instability. Students also experienced major stressors, like parents losing jobs and caregivers falling ill and dying.

Melissa Snyder, a Cherry Creek School District fourth grade teacher, said student absenteeism has soared since the start of the pandemic.

“There’s a lot of pieces to the puzzle,” said Snyder, who teaches at Pine Ridge Elementary. “Everything with COVID is so much more complex.”

Lorelei Jackson, a Denver Language School eighth grade math teacher, said teachers had to choose which lessons to teach and students are missing skills they would normally have learned.

“We wanted to make sure that we were focusing on what was going to be the most impactful for students,” she said. And now, “we’re seeing those gaps.”

A Chalkbeat analysis found mixed evidence on the link between remote learning and changes in state test scores, with some correlation in math and fourth-grade reading but none in eighth-grade reading. More granular research has shown that students who experienced more virtual learning tended to fall further behind.

The Colorado education department didn’t require districts to report changes in learning mode, which sometimes varied weekly, but its staff did try to track who was in-person, remote, or hybrid using district websites and Facebook pages. Using state data, the COVID-19 School Data Hub estimates that Colorado students on average spent 28% of their time learning in person during the 2020-21 school year.

VOICES

Westminster Legacy Foundation Service Awards presented

Annual Community Service Awards Breakfast held this past week focused on the contributions of five individuals and a Westminster service club. Their actions and contributions to the Westminster community were highlighted and celebrated.

The intent of the event is to demonstrate “community” and honor those selected for their good work.

The Citizen Of The Year Award was presented to William “Willie” Latimer. His ongoing volunteer efforts to collect, clean, package and sell golf balls on behalf of the Davis Phinney Foundation and the Parkinson’s Association of the Rockies were highlighted. He has raised over $12,000 to help in the fight against Parkinson’s disease. He devotes 10-12 hours per week to support this worthy cause.

The Young Citizen Of The Year Award was garnered by Johnny Loi, a 2022Westminster High School graduate who now attends Colorado State University. He is pursuing his love of Journalism and Communication. Johnny earned a 4.05 grade point average and placed 6th in his class of 520.

His community service and volunteer activities are exemplary. He provided assistance through the National Honor Society with frequent park clean-up. City of Westminster events he participated in include reading to children at the Irving Street Library and volunteering at festivals and fall harvests were noted. Johnny is a VietnameseAmerican who grew up in a nonspeaking English home.

Corporate Citizen Of The Year went to Ed and Marilyn Getsch who have been pillars in the Westminster community for more than 50 years. Their real estate business success is only exceeded by their philanthropy. The family has provided tireless service to the Westminster community, the Westminster Legacy Foundation and various other charitable organizations.

The Arts & Culture Award very deservedly went to Westminster Public Schools Michael Linert who enjoys a varied musical career as a cellist, singer, composer and most importantly, an educator. He serves as the Performing Arts Department chair and the director of orchestras and mariachi at Westminster High School.

Donna Alengi was the recipient of the Health & Human Services Hero Award this year. Throughout her long professional and civic involvement career, Donna has dedicated her life to the betterment of others and her community. She is

a Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) and serves as the Chair of CASA of Adams and Broomfield Counties Board of Directors. Other commitments include Westminster Planning Commission, Westminster Artist Series Board of Directors, School District 50 Advisory Board member and many more.

Nancy Heil Lifetime Achievement Award goes to the Westminster Rotary Club. This active community service club is well-known for “Service Above Self” which is Rotary International’s motto.

Founded in 1960, the club members have so many achievements. In 1994, the club sponsored a second club known as the 7:10 Rotary Club. Then in 2021, the two Westminster clubs merged. They have given over a million in college/technical schools scholarships to Westminster area high school graduates. They have done dental and vaccination clinics at no cost. Their members hosted 39 Rotary International Exchange Students while sending 45 Westminster students to foreign countries for a year under the same program.

Members have repaired and distributed 11,500 computers to deserving Westminster area students to assist them in their academic studies. The club spearheaded the Dolly Parton Imagination Library program in Adams County so that 450 children, between birth and age five, can have a book each month.

That’s something that supports family reading and early learning.

Each year, the club sponsors high school students to attend Rotary Youth Leadership summer camp which focuses on teaching leadership. They have contributed over the years to Rotary International’s goal of eradicating polio world-wide. As you can see, they have enriched the Westminster community time and time again over their 62-year existence.

Congratulations to all of the 2022 award recipients.

Irving Street park arson provokes plea to help rebuild

I can’t recall a time when the City of Westminster has asked for contributions to rebuild a public park damaged by arson, vandalism etc. Of course, a major fund drive was administered to redo the park re-named in memory of Jessica Ridgeway after her death, but that is different motivation.

It was a bit of a surprise to some who attended the Legacy Foundation’s Awards Breakfast earlier this month when the foundation made a pitch to help fund the rebuild of the park. The city has insurance and staff confirmed for me that they have coverage with a $250,000 deductible. I was told the cost of rebuilding the park could be at least $300,000. Staff sees the opportunity

Behind every victim is an advocate

Behind every patient is a doctor, behind every student is a teacher, and behind every victim is an advocate. Despite the chaotic and devastating circumstances of COVID-19, advocates of the Victim Services around Colorado have adapted to social guidelines, solved unfamiliar problems and flourished in efficiency to provide for victims across the state.

Interestingly enough, the Victim Services unit in Greeley, Thornton, Northglenn, Longmont and Littleton limited their on-site service to major crime-related cases (homicide, domestic violence, sexual assult,

felony), sending a limited number of trained staff to report in-person. On the other hand, units in Lakewood and Fort Collins responded strictly through phone calls for most of the pandemic, making the interaction between staff and volunteer advocates scarce.

Flipping the system upside-down had both its pros and cons. It opened up the idea that services can be provided virtually, and made victims reaching out to advocates more approachable. According to the Victim Services of Thornton/Northglenn and Lakewood, victims who felt overwhelmed with crowds of people (including advocates) present during the scene were able to find time on their own, after processing the situation, and reach out personally. Surprisingly, as time passed, more victims began to prefer a phone call over an on-site reply.

However, as reported by victim

LINDSAY

advocates in Longmont and Greeley, this abrupt change in organization led to a drastic advocate shortage. Masks and physical distance (as well as the subsequent removal of facial expressions and body language) made it difficult for advocates to discern the immediate needs of the victim. The Arvada Victim Services added that grants— initially given to the Victim Services — were shifted to fund other, COVID-related issues, the lack of monetary assistance forcing a change in various departments and volunteer programs. Most fatal of all, the boundaries between “work” and “home” began to blur. Phone calls about traumatic experiences would leak past working hours, and follow-ups about excruciating cases would flood into the private lives of advocates.

But while caring for a single individual is, indeed, demanding,

the Victims Services in Broomfield, Thornton, Northglenn, Arvada (Jefferson County), Longmont, Fort Collins, Lakewood, Littleton and Greeley serve an astounding average of 287 victims monthly. That is hundreds of devastating stories and cries for help that are heard monthly by these people. Sacrifices of time, energy, and mentality are made to save the ones of those who need to hold onto it.

What this service needs the most is education. Education on who they are, what they do and how they do it. People should know what they can offer and why they’re here in the first place. Education on what they need, and what you — the public — can do for it.

to redesign and upgrade the park amenities.

However, the city has other funds to tap. For example, there is a budgeted $5.3 million General Fund Contingency, there is a budgeted $922,344 Parks and Open Space Tax (POST) contingency and the General Capital Improvement Fund has a budgeted contingency of $1.4 mil lion.

Also, a windfall from the sale of the Denver Broncos franchise produced more than a million dol lars to the City of Westminster that is not budgeted anywhere. Those funds could be partially utilized to cover the cost beyond the deductible amount.

What I am getting at is that nei ther the city or the Parks, Recre ation and Libraries Department are strapped for cash. They have sizeable pots of cash which could be tapped to redo the park.

Furthermore, just how much change is needed to make the park attractive and be appealing to the public?

The city staff could stand to cut back on their spending habits. Who ever got the Westminster Legacy Foundation to ask for public contri butions should re-think this one.

Public nuisance will seek rezoning/re development

Most folks in the original part of Westminster know the “Midland Building.” It has been a public nuisance for too many years. The abandoned office building in the 7200 block of Irving Street became a constant eyesore and haven for homeless people, illegal drug activ ity and more.

Finally, I have it on good authority that the property owner is moving ahead with a rezoning application to

allow eight work-live units and ten apartment units on the property.

Staff points out that there is not an active market for commercial development at this location. Hope fully, this adaptive re-use effort will be favorably received and the public nuisance will be abated. I thought the public would like to be aware of this effort in the mill.

What does it take to gain gun control support?

Voter polling has shifted from this summer when abortion and gun control were prime issues. Now, it is the economy, inflation and border control. Pollsters say that this shift helps Republican candidates.

I don’t care who it helps or hurts. The shootings and killings have not stopped. Just about every day we learn of shooters taking lives and injuring too many people.

Colorado seems to be edging up ward with the number of shootings. Is someone trying to match what happens in Chicago each week?

Just this past weekend, we had seven shootings and eight people involved in deaths or injury here in Colorado. A shooting at a school in St. Louis added two deaths and seven injuries, with the shooter dying.

On and on it goes, but too many people are indifferent or in denial about the tragedy which guns cause. Too many innocent people are pay ing the price for the loose interpre tation by the courts regarding the second amendment. When will it stop?

What if your family was involved in a shooting in which you had no control over it? Would it change your perspective? It should.

On Sept. 4, Chileans across the world anxiously checked their social media feeds and Whatsapp group chats, wondering about the future of their country. Would Chile adopt a new constitution?

The answer flashed across their phone screens that evening. In an overwhelming referendum result, about 62% of the population of Chile voted to reject what would have been one of the most progressive constitutions in the world.

In Santiago, supporters of the new constitution comforted each other in sadness while those who opposed it waved celebratory flags in the streets.

Meanwhile, Chileans in Colorado mourned and celebrated from over 5,000 miles away.

Pame Bradford, who works in Fort Collins Public Schools, was happy voters rejected the draft.

An Aurorabased artist named Adolfo Romero, on the other hand, said the result felt like a deep blow to his heart.

Considering their opposing views on one of the most pivotal referendums in Chile’s democratic history, it may come as a surprise that Romero and Bradford are siblings.

Although they grew up under the same roof, the two Colorado-based Chileans have different opinions on what will cure their country’s ailments going forward.

From Chile to Colorado

When Romero was in high school and Bradford had recently finished, their family moved from Arica, a city in northern Chile, to the capital of Santiago.

Attending high school in Santiago among politically active peers was a formative experience for Romero. Although he does not identify with a particular party, he said his political beliefs are leftleaning.

Bradford, on the other hand, was less

interested in politics. She said she focused on “things with discipline” growing up, such as sports and martial arts.

The social explosion

On Oct. 18, 2019, an increase in the metro fare sparked massive demonstrations in Santiago. Both Bradford and Romero watched from afar. This was the beginning of a nationwide socio-political movement referred to as the “estallido social” or the “social explosion.” For months, protesters demanded changes in economic and social policies that had been in place since the country’s military dictatorship, which ended in 1990.

The estallido was a frightening time for some Chileans. Bradford said she was concerned as protesters burned metro stations and destroyed private property.

“I was really distraught… I mean, we are really connected to the country and when you see bad things happening, it affects you here,” she said. “I know we could have come up with better ways to do it… the reasons might be good, but not the way it was presented.”

Romero, unlike his sister, said he was hopeful when the demonstrations began. After being involved in community movements for most of his life, it felt like his country was finally awakening to its problems.

“One of the conversations that I used to have with my friends was, ‘Damn, when are the people gonna be awake?

Protesters climb a statue in Santiago’s central plaza under the watchful eye of a military jet.

PHOTO BY NINA JOSS

When are the people gonna react to these conditions in this country?’” he said. “Finally, it happened in 2019.”

Although he wishes political change were achievable through “just talking,” Romero said it’s sometimes necessary for people to take to the streets.

But Chileans who went to the streets were met with excessive force from police, according to the Human Rights Watch. From Oct. 18 to Nov. 20, in 2019 almost 9,000 protesters and bystanders were injured and 26 people died, according to the organization.

For Romero, the police response to the protests was the most tragic part of the situation.

“It was very sad… to see how many people got injured… by the police,” he said. “I felt very powerless.”

The road to referendum

The demonstrations during the social movement of 2019-2020 covered a wide range of issues, including wages, social security, water rights, education, healthcare, environmental concerns, gender inequality, indigenous rights and more.

As the movement continued, protesters started turning their attention toward a document that could address all of these problems at once: the constitution.

“That was the core of everything. That is the core that supports the model, that holds the entire system,” Romero said. “So when (the protestors) chose that point, it to me was finally the right pathway to get a change.”

Chile’s current constitution was written in 1980 under military dictator Augusto Pinochet, who held power from 1973 until 1990. After ousting socialist President Salvador Allende in a U.S.-supported coup d’etat, Pinochet implemented vast neoliberal economic reforms.

Under Pinochet, the availability and affordability of health care, social security, education and even water were largely driven by the free market. The 1980 constitution, despite modern amendments, maintains a role for private sectors for these services.

These neoliberal decisions bolstered Chile’s economy but did so at the expense of extensive human rights abuses during the dictatorship. More than 3,000 people were killed or “disappeared” under Pinochet’s regime and over 27,000 more were victims of torture, according to Chilean commission reports.

Still, some applaud the dictator for the economic growth during his reign. Others condemn his human rights abuses and point to his economic policies as the root of Chile’s devastating inequality.

About a month after the protests began, then-President Sebastián Piñera agreed to hold a nationwide referendum to vote on the possibility of rewriting the dictatorship-era constitution. On Oct. 25, 2020, 78% of voting Chileans approved the decision to rewrite a new charter.

Voters also determined that a convention of elected citizens would draft the new document. In a global first, the constitutional body was required to have gender parity. In addition, 17 seats were reserved for indigenous populations, according to the National Library of Congress of Chile.

In May 2021, voters elected a constitutional convention made up of 67% independent candidates, many of them part of left-leaning movements, according to Universidad de Chile professor Claudia Heiss.

On Oct. 18, 2019, an increase in the metro fare sparked a nation-wide socio-political movement in Chile. Here, protesters in Santiago hit pots and pans in a common form of protest called “cacerolazo.”

But they all had really unique writing processes, and the ones that are “related” grew closer as they developed.

-Where was the album recorded and what was the process like?

TC: The writing process is so stripped-down that it’s hard to expect what the studio will do to a song, so it ends up kind of doing something different to every song. The album was recorded with Tyler Imbrogno of Eldren at Daymoon Studios over the

“Chile is a social and democratic state of law,” started the new constitutional draft. “It is ‘plurinacional,’ intercultural, regional and ecological.”

RD: Performing in a studio brings a certain level of perfectionism and it can be hard to stay loose and play with feel in there, which I think was an area where we all grew a lot throughout the process. I’ve loved honing our live sound as we wrote these songs; all the iterations feel like they bring a lot of different dimensions to each song.

-Does the album have a particular theme or idea that you wanted explore over its tracks?

ET: It very much feels like the expanse of the album runs parallel to a lifespan.

TC: This album is designed to be relatable and an aspect of something being relatable is about its ability to go into detail. This album feels like it is about a specific time in someone’s life, but the details are different for every listener.

RD: I think there’s an idea of changing the ground you’re on and feeling mostly the same. All of the songs are set in really specific places, but the sentiment contained in them has common threads.

After one year of the convention’s work, the draft faced its fate in a referendum in which all Chileans were required to vote. The earlier votes in the constitutional process had been voluntary.

According to the Chilean Electoral Service, Chileans abroad voted to approve the draft but the overall population overwhelmingly rejected it.

Both Bradford and Romero would have had to travel to another state to vote, so neither was able to cast a ballot due to logistics.

The draft

The 388-article charter included universal health care and rights to education, housing, pensions and water. Along with vast environmental protections, it implemented gender parity rules for governing bodies. It also restructured the country’s legislative model and established parallel justice systems for indigenous groups.

Supporters of the document praised its progressive character while opponents stressed the far-reaching and unachievable nature of the constitution’s goals. Some opponents wanted to keep the 1980 version. Others said they desired a new constitution, just not this one.

In Bradford’s opinion, the members of the convention tried to take on too

“I do agree with some changes for the environment and things like that. But I think this proposal was covering way too many things and it became unreliable — people realized that,” she said.

But Bradford’s biggest concern about the new constitution was that it did not address what she sees as Chile’s main issues. Specifically, Bradford said she was concerned about danger and crime in Chile, which she attributed to a lack of control over immigration.

“I still have all my extended family members (in Chile) and I hear every day what they’re suffering. And those real issues are not getting addressed,” she said.

She also opposed the idea of making the state “plurinacional,” which means recognizing the coexistence of multiple national groups within a country.

“We are a united country there. I don’t believe that we should start calling each other something different,” she said.

For Romero, identifying the country as such was one of the biggest strengths of the draft. He said it was important to recognize indigenous nations.

“When we talk about ‘plurinacionalidad,’ we are talking about the recognition of their territory and their cultural autonomy, and that they are asking for the right to organize themselves in some way,” he said. “For me, that’s good. It’s the minimum that can be offered after years of colonization — the minimum.”

Romero also applauded the draft’s inclusion of rights to healthcare and education.

“The right to health care exists in various countries, and it works well,” Romero said. “It’s the same with the right to education… The people ignore it because they simply haven’t lived (that) reality.”

Romero added that he thinks many

TC: The fact that queer bands these days don’t need to exist only at queer spaces. We show up at a lot of heteronormative shows and don’t really feel out of place. It’s more of a broad reach compared to how it maybe used to be, and that feels like a really cool way to provide representation.

-What do you hope album listeners come away with?

TC: I hope the album offers a comfort for people. The best thing ever that could come out of this album is if people create their own stories out of it that they can come back to and feel themselves in.

people who voted against the new draft were influenced by misinformation campaigns about its contents. Bradford said she knew people who read the draft itself and still rejected it.

Delightful di erences

For Bradford, the new constitution was not the right move for Chile. But in Romero’s eyes, there is still hope for a new constitution in the future.

“The process isn’t over in Chile,” he said. “It’s a battle that was lost, but the people are going to continue fighting.”

Despite their differences, Romero and Bradford say they are close. Adding their parents, younger sister and extended family into the mix, they are surrounded by a wide range of political opinions.

“We tease each other, we laugh, but we know we’re not gonna change our views — and we don’t want to change our views,” Bradford said. “We accept each other how we are and we love each other regardless.”

She compared their political differences to other differences she and her siblings have, such as the ways they like to relax and their tastes in music.

“You put priorities in life and family’s the first priority. Love — love for your family,” she said.

According to Romero, his family’s differences represent the diversity that should exist in a healthy society.

“If I expect that all my friends think exactly the same as me, it will be me (who is) the problem,” he said.

Even when an entire new constitution is on the line, he says differences are valuable.

“This is the base of a society, what society should be,” he said. “It’s a plus when you have a difference.”

U.S. Senate candidates debate mental health

BY JENNIFER BROWN THE COLORADO SUN

U.S. Sen. Michael Bennet and his Republican challenger, Joe O’Dea, vowed during a debate Oct. 18 to push for programs that would boost the behavioral health workforce and dispatch more therapists on 911 calls.

The forum at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus marked the first time that candidates vying to represent the state in the U.S. Senate took a debate stage to take questions exclusively on mental health.

That doesn’t mean that politics didn’t creep into the conversation. Bennet interrupted O’Dea once to slam him for not supporting the American Rescue Plan, they sparred briefly on gun laws, and O’Dea, a Denver construction company owner, hammered Bennet on crime rates, inflation and border control. They were bound to try to get in some political jabs as it was their first debate.

On their vision for mental health care

Both agreed mental health, particularly for children, is at a crisis point in Colorado and that the state has a severe shortage of residential treatment beds and mental health workers. O’Dea said he would advocate for a federal program that would make it easier for people interested in working in mental health and substance abuse treatment to get jobs in the field at the same time

they work toward college degrees. Employers could help pay for their education, he said.

Bennet touted his “Suicide and Crisis Outreach Prevention Enhancement Act,” which would promote the national crisis line and increase the number of crisis centers nationwide, as well as a white paper he wrote with U.S. Sen. John Cornyn, a Texas Republican, that Bennet called a “blueprint for what mental health ought to look like.”

“We’re facing an epidemic of mental health in Colorado and across this country as a result of an economy that for 50 years has worked incredibly well for the top 10% of Americans, but almost for nobody else,” the senator said. “The opioid epidemic, on top of that, COVID, on top of that … social media.”

Bennet also co-sponsored federal legislation that led to the 988 mental health crisis hotline, which went live in July.

O’Dea, however, said policies supported by Bennet during his 13 years in office have contributed to the mental health crisis.

“What’s happening in America is not working,” O’Dea said. “Partisanship is poisoning our country. My opponent votes with Joe Biden 90% of the time; it’s not working. Inflation is at a 40-year high; it’s not working. Crime is at an all-time high; not working. Homelessness in Colorado is rampant; it’s not working. And this we add to the list, mental health, especially for kids. It’s not working.”

O’Dea also blamed failures in the education system for the youth mental health crisis, saying he would push for federal regulation that would allow families to choose any school for their child. “Kids have to have a future, and that future starts with an education,” he said. “The closest thing to magic in the United States is school choice. Put them somewhere where they can succeed. We can get them mental health at those institutions. We need to be preventative and not reactive.”

On growing the mental health workforce

O’Dea, who went through an apprenticeship program, said Colorado can grow its workforce of mental health and substance use counselors by encouraging businesses to hire workers as they simultaneously attend college.

“It needs to be a partnership with business,” he said. “It needs to be a partnership with colleges. We need to treat it as an intern program so that we can have businesses help us get more people into this industry.”

Bennet pointed out that O’Dea was against the massive COVID relief bill passed by Congress that sent millions of dollars to Colorado to support workforce development, including internship programs. The American Rescue Plan provided about $600 million for Colorado to recruit and train more behavioral health workers.

“It’s not government in the way — this is government resources being used by the public sector and the

private sector,” Bennet said. “He’s quite right that we need to address that, but that’s exactly what these pieces of legislation do.”

Bennet also brought up the state’s lack of affordable housing, which makes it difficult for workers to live in rural and mountain areas in particular. “We have no workforce housing,” he said. “And there are communities all over the state where there are no mental health workers because there is no housing.”

On substance abuse treatment

When asked how he would increase access to substance abuse treatment, O’Dea said the government hasn’t “attacked the supply side” and blamed border insecurity. He also said he would zero in on high-potency marijuana products and that he is against Proposition 122, which would decriminalize psychedelic mushrooms in Colorado.

“Right now we have a border that is leaking fentanyl at record levels,” he said. “Colorado is No. 2 in drug overdoses. And the reason is because we haven’t attacked the supply side. This situation is being caused by a border that hasn’t been secured. We don’t need more drugs in our society. It’s killing our kids.”

Colorado won’t speed up air pollution fixes

BY MICHAEL BOOTH THE COLORADO SUN

The Air Quality Control Commission has declined to push for speeding up state plans to attack ozone and greenhouse gas pollution, despite another report from the Environmental Protection Agency that Colorado is falling behind on its own mandates.

Environmental groups and local officials demanded that the governor-appointed commission add new ozone and greenhouse gas regulations to get Colorado back on track. But the commission listened to updates from state agencies last week and avoided reconvening a strategy subcommittee that could recommend faster-acting policies.

“We have a process to get to a plan,” said Commissioner Elise Jones, usually the fiercest critic of the pace of state air pollution policy. “I feel much better,” Jones said, after hearing state regulators list policy votes planned for 2022 and 2023 and a promise of new models showing the pollution cuts that various rules would deliver.

The AQCC had passed a resolution in 2020 saying that if emissions results showed Colorado getting off track of the goals, it would consider new actions to close the gap. Jones said Monday that new modeling of additional policy proposals’ impacts

will allow the AQCC to get tougher actions on the vote calendar for 2023, beyond those already scheduled.

A coalition that had pressed for faster action blasted what they see as the AQCC’s passive approach.

“No one from the Air Pollution Control Division, the Colorado Energy Office or elsewhere has answered the question of how they might meet 2025 emission reductions required by Colorado law,” said Chandler Green, a spokesperson for the Environmental Defense Fund and the broad coalition. The coalition wants the AQCC to consider new limits on oil and gas drilling and production, strategies for reducing miles driven by fossil fuel-powered vehicles, and an even faster schedule for retiring fossil fuel electricity plants.

The environmental coalition was hoping a new critical report from the EPA might give their arguments momentum at the AQCC’s monthly meeting.

The EPA’s state-by-state assessment of greenhouse emissions last year shows Colorado losing ground, similar to what state regulators reported to the AQCC earlier this year.

Major industrial emitters like power plants, refineries and cement producers in Colorado produced 42

2021 ranked second in the country, according to Families Against Fentanyl. Colorado’s per-capita fentanyl death rate, however, ranks 33rd.

Bennet slammed O’Dea for not answering the question, then said he supports more drug treatment in jails. “People can’t get treatment,” he said. “And it doesn’t make any sense to lock somebody up and not provide any treatment.”

On who’s better at tackling mental health

Bennet said he looks forward to continuing his work on the opioid crisis and amplifying incentives in the insurance system so that physical and mental health are better integrated.

“This country has been uniquely addicted to opioids compared to any other country in the world,” the senator said. “And we haven’t yet responded to that challenge.”

He also vowed to ramp up funding for mental health beds, saying there was a “chronic shortage all over the

All it took for Colorado to see that setback to its greenhouse gas reduction was for the heavily polluting Comanche Generating Station to

state, especially in rural areas.”

“We are just going to have to fund it and we’re going to have to find ways to pay for it,” he said.

But O’Dea said it’s time to “start from scratch” and stop throwing money at homelessness programs that aren’t producing results and time to focus more on mental health prevention. “We need new programs that basically address this before it’s a crisis,” he said.

“We’ve got record inflation, record crime, record drug overdoses, outof-control homelessness here in Colorado, and an education crisis, a mental health crisis and suicides at an all-time high. Let’s stop the reckless spending and direct it at our kids.”

Children’s Hospital mental health crisis

The forum, hosted by Healthier Colorado, Inseparable and Children’s Hospital Colorado, put the candidates on the spot to answer questions about the complex mental health system and the current state of crisis.

Colorado has about 2,000 fewer pediatric residential treatment beds than it did about a decade ago, in

“The grand champion worst polluter was the Comanche Power Plant near Pueblo at nearly 8 million tons of CO2, way up from its 2020 total of about 4.5 million tons,” said Ted Zukoski, a senior attorney with the Center for Biological Diversity in Denver. “The Craig Power Plant in Moffat County was the second worst CO2 polluter at 7.8 million tons, up slightly from 2020.”

part because of a major federal push to keep kids in homes instead of institutions. But as funding for residential treatment was slashed, Colorado did not build up its network of therapeutic foster homes or community mental health services.

Today, the state has about 300 residential treatment beds. At the same time, the number of children and teens seeking emergency psychiatric treatment at Children’s Hospital in Aurora has skyrocketed.

(Colorado Sun photos)This year, January-June psychiatric emergency room visits were up 88% from the same period in 2019, said Jessica Hawks, clinical director of the hospital’s pediatric mental health institute. Suicide is the leading cause of death for teens in Colorado.

Coal-fired Comanche was offline much of the time in 2020 because of major operating problems, and ran more steadily in 2021.

A resurgence in fossil fuel electricity in 2021 and a boost in vehicle miles traveled also contributed to the state’s own accounting of falling behind on greenhouse gas reductions by 2025 and 2030, dates with mandatory cuts put in place by state lawmakers. State law requires

a place where we have a national platform to really talk about these issues.”

Zach Zaslow, interim vice president for population health and advocacy at Children’s, said the lack of residential beds means children are stuck at the hospital for longer than needed.

“Kids end up waiting in our in-patient unit for weeks, months, sometimes even over a year,” he said. “They are without their families. They are without their friends. Oftentimes, they are getting worse because they are in a restrictive setting. They should be closer to home.”

Gov. Jared Polis and his GOP challenger Heidi Ganahl were invited to the forum but the governor declined. Other sponsors included CBS News, MindSite News, Colorado Public Radio and The Colorado Sun.

Choosing right weather words for an ‘alerta’

Weather warnings run into language challenge

BY MICHAEL BOOTH THE COLORADO SUN

all of us who have ever weighed a tornado “watch” ver-

a tornado “warning,” it’s no surprise that a growing number of researchers say distinguishing between Spanish words like “aviso” and “alerta” in weather bulletins can be a life or death choice.

If a twister sprouts east of Pueblo, or a climate-driven wildfire threatens Jefferson County, or more hurricanes pummel Florida, Spanish-speaking communities need weather warnings to meet the moment. More and more meteorological and social science research shows they’re failing.

As Hurricane Ian bore down on the west coast of Florida, weather service parent agency the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration was talking about its new research suggesting Spanish translations need to bump up in urgency. NOAA and the weather service — as well as FEMA — mean to say “warning” when it comes to tornadoes and hurricanes and other hazards, but the Spanish word they have been using, “aviso,” is not taken as seriously by Spanish speakers.

Researchers asked more than

1,000 Spanish speakers to rank advisory words. The researchers were told that the words they’d been using as strong, “aviso” and “vigilancia,” were not heard as forcefully as the more urgent Spanish words “emergencia,” “amenaza” and “alerta.”

The author of NOAA’s study, which was published in the Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society, said the study backs up other recent work comparing signals from English words versus signals from Spanish.

“Aviso” is a literal translation of “warning,” but aviso is “more like advice you might get from a parent,” and doesn’t come across as an urgent official warning to act, said Joseph Trujillo-Falcón, lead author from NOAA’s Cooperative Institute for Severe and High-Impact Weather Research and Operations in Oklahoma.

The difference can literally mean life and death, as Florida officials struggled to convey the dangers of Ian’s intense ocean surge to evacuation stragglers around Tampa.

How Spanish speakers accept the words is also key in tornado-prone spots with large Hispanic populations, from Colorado to Texas. As climate change makes emergency weather events more frequent, language and communication matter all the more, researchers say.

“It’s just so important to get people the right information at the right level of urgency,” said Ben

Hatchett, assistant research professor for atmospheric science at Reno’s Desert Research Institute.

In tornado advisories, for example, the word “watch” means conditions are ripe for a tornado and residents should be alert. “Warning” means a tornado has been spotted or is imminent and residents should take shelter. The study notes that “66% of the English speakers correctly identified the meaning of a tornado watch as an early notice of possible severe weather,” but “only 38% of the Spanish speakers chose this definition.”

“Our data supports using the Spanish word ‘vigilancia’ for a tornado watch and the Spanish word ‘alerta’ for a tornado warning,” Trujillo-Falcón said.

9News meteorologist Chris Bianchi, who often handles the regular Spanish-language weather casts for the station, agrees with the research and is writing about it at 9News.com. He commented on the studies just before leaving for Florida, where he joined the hurricane coverage.

“This is absolutely critical,” Bianchi wrote from DIA, as he waited for his Tampa flight. “There has long been a huge, discernible gap between English and Spanish forecasting and terminology.”

Hatchett also does research from his base in Santa Rosa, California, on whether English-speaking communities are hearing bad-weather warnings with the urgency forecasters and safety officials intend. It’s crucial, he said, to study local dialect and geography, and which communicators are the trusted sources of information.

In Reno, Hatchett said, weather listeners don’t pay enough attention to warnings of “up to 6 inches of snow in the area.” They assume that means up on the mountains in the Tahoe area, not so much in the lower-lying Truckee Meadows.

“But if you say, ‘It’s going to snow 6 inches down here,’ every-

SHUTTERSTOCK IMAGE

one’s like, ‘Oh, it’s gonna snow down here in the valley in downtown Reno. OK, got it. Got to think about how I’m going to get to work tomorrow,’” Hatchett said.

Climate and weather researchers are also trying to use high temperature ranges rather than one number when expressing growing dangers from urban heat waves, Hatchett said. Instead of saying just, “It’s likely to hit 106 degrees tomorrow,” they use probability forecasting: “It’s very likely going to be above 95 and could hit 100.”

How then, Hatchett said, to best present that range visually or verbally, to enclaves of different speakers and listeners, from San Diego to the San Luis Valley? Will they be concerned enough to think about staying home from an outdoors job, or keeping kids out of an unairconditioned school?

It’s “super important,” he said, to use translation from native speakers familiar with a community to find the words “through the lens of the local person who you’re trying to convince to make a decision.”

Meteorologists appear to welcome the flurry of social scientists researching how to sharpen communication in their field.

“We often forget how young meteorology is,” Bianchi said, adding that 100 years ago weather warnings were coming primarily from priests on the hurricane frontlines in Cuba. He’s worked on some of the NOAA research panels, and he sees the impact of words while talking with the 9News audience.

“Translating and accounting for regional dialects and slang can be very difficult,” he said.

5 things to know about psychedelics initiative

Proposition 122 is on Colorado’s fall ballot

BY MARKIAN HAWRYLUK AND MATT VOLZ, KAISER HEALTH NEWS

Colorado could become the second state after Oregon to allow the use of certain psychedelic substances that are illegal under federal law.

But while Oregon voters in 2020 approved the supervised use of psychedelic mushrooms, the citizen initiative on the Colorado ballot in November goes further. Proposition 122 would allow the personal use of psilocybin mushrooms and certain plant-based psychedelic substances by adults 21 and over but would ban sales except in licensed “healing centers,” where people could ingest them under the supervision of trained facilitators.

The psychedelic substances, which can alter a person’s perception and cause hallucinations, are Schedule I controlled substances, which is the federal classification given to drugs deemed to have a high potential for abuse and serve

no legitimate medical purpose. However, a still-developing body of research has found that psychedelic mushrooms may have health benefits, such as treating depression.

As of June, 15 cities and other local U.S. jurisdictions have decriminalized possession of psilocybin or deprioritized the policing, prosecution, or arrest of users. Denver’s 2019 voter-approved initiative made the adult possession and use of psilocybin mushrooms the city’s lowest law enforcement priority, and it prohibited the spending of resources on enforcing related penalties.

Here are five key things to absorb about the initiative in Colorado:

1. What does the Colorado initiative do?

Proposition 122 is one of 11 statewide ballot measures that Colorado voters will decide in the Nov. 8 general election. The measure would allow adults to grow, possess, and use mushrooms containing the chemicals psilocybin and psilocin, and decriminalize three plant-based psychedelics: mescaline (though it specifically excludes the peyote cactus), ibogaine (from the root bark of

the iboga tree), and dimethyltryptamine (a compound in ayahuasca brew). It also would require the state to create regulations for facilities where adults 21 and older can buy and take the psychedelics under supervision. Selling the drugs outside of those facilities would remain illegal.

The measure sets a timeline for the regulatory process and facilities to be operational by late 2024 for psilocybin, and the state could expand the list of psychedelic substances to include mescaline, ibogaine, and dimethyltryptamine in those facilities starting in 2026. If voters approve the initiative, people who use those psychedelics would be protected from professional discipline or losing public benefits, and criminal records of past convictions for offenses made legal under the measure could be sealed.

The measure goes beyond the Oregon law voters approved in 2020 allowing people to be treated with one variety of psilocybin, called psilocybe cubensis, in supervised facilities. In Oregon, no facilities have opened yet and state health officials are still finalizing regulations.

2. What are the potential health benefits?

Supporters’ primary argument for the measure’s passage is that psychedelic mushrooms and plants have potential mental health benefits. Emerging research and clinical trials are studying the substances’ effectiveness as an alternative treatment for conditions such as depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder. Proponents of the measure say regulation would increase access for people struggling to find effective mental health care. They also say psychedelic mushrooms are not addictive and pose no public safety risk.

3. What are the risks and unknowns?

Opponents caution that the measure is too far ahead of the science, and that the still-developing research should not be used to legitimize the legalization of psychedelic mushrooms and plants for medical or recreational use. They also point out that much of the research conducted has involved psychedelic mushrooms, and that relatively little is known about the effects of mescaline,

Meet the Colorado moms who microdose mushrooms

BY ALISON BERG, BRIAN WILLIE ROCKY MOUNTAIN PBS

Tracey Tee felt stuck when COVID-19 hit in 2020.

Tee lost her business and the sudden shift in her children’s schooling meant more responsibilities at home. Plus, the lack of in-person community left her feeling isolated from any support.

Under the crushing weight of raising children in a once-in-a-lifetime pandemic, Tee was willing to try anything to lift at least some of her spirits.

After reading Michael Pollan’s “How to Change Your Mind: What the New Science of Psychedelics Teaches Us About Consciousness, Dying, Addiction, Depression, and Transcendence,” and attending a webinar on microdosing mushrooms, Tee thought she’d give the practice a try.

Tee had never experimented with illicit drugs, but from what she had heard, the experience of taking a small dose of a psilocybin mushroom seemed different from the ‘60’s-style psychedelic trip the substance is best known for.

Once she took the plunge and swallowed her first capsule of a ground-up mushroom, Tee knew she’d found aid to her life’s stress. “I just really felt a calm and a

space between my world that I hadn’t felt before,” Tee said. “In the same way that you take an antidepressant, that’s what microdosing is.”

During the first several doses, Tee said she felt like she’d taken a hefty dose of caffeine, with slightly more energy and ease going about her day. But over time, Tee said she was able to process trauma and cope with anxiety in ways she’d never been able to before.

“It helps you bring your PTSD, your trauma, your anxiety, any

issues that you have to the surface. You kind of look it right in the face,” Tee said. “It’s just easier to show up in life a little bit happier.”

As she continued her microdosing journey, Tee said most of the folks she found with the same interest in microdosing were not mothers. They were primarily younger folks or CEOs of popular companies.

For Tee, the product was simply about making mundane life slightly easier, especially for her fellow mothers. After connecting with other women interested in the idea,

Tee started Moms on Mushrooms, a Colorado-based, nationwide group that teaches interested moms about using a small dose of psilocybin mushrooms.

Shayna Bryan, a Denver woman and a member of Moms on Mushrooms, began microdosing in April, after an initial class from Tee’s group. Bryan said the other moms in the group seemed to mirror her struggles as a parent, which is what ultimately made her feel safe enough to try microdosing.

“Everyone has to kind of deal with the same challenges when it comes to motherhood and all of us were kind of looking for something,” Bryan said. “It was really wonderful to watch the other women in the course see the medicine start to work.”

Bryan and Tee both emphasized that the micro-mushroom experience is not a “trip,” but a very subtle mood booster.

“That energy that I wished I’d had for the last 15 years has come forth, and it’s a vibrancy that I feel so lucky to have found,” Bryan said.

“You don’t feel like you’re in college and you just took a bunch of mushrooms and you’re tripping with your friends.”

ibogaine, and dimethyltryptamine. According to officials at the Justice Department’s National Drug Intel ligence Center, ingesting psilocy bin can produce negative physical effects, such as vomiting, weakness, and lack of coordination, along with negative psychological effects, such as being unable to distinguish fantasy from reality. Psilocybin can trigger episodes of psychosis, so people with a personal or family history of psychosis are generally excluded from studies. Psilocybin can also exacerbate heart conditions.

Many people claim that because psilocybin is derived from plants (technically, fungi) it is safer than pharmaceutical drugs created in a lab. This distinction has no basis.

Many plants are poisonous, and many pharmaceutical drugs are derived from natural substances.

4. What does the science say?

Initial studies have found that psi locybin can help treatment-resistant depression or anxiety and depression in patients with terminal illnesses. While the findings are promising, re searchers caution that larger sample sizes and additional research are needed to understand psilocybin’s neurobiological factors and longterm effects. In 2019, the FDA called psilocybin a “breakthrough therapy,” a designation meant to speed up development of promising drugs. No psychedelics have been approved for medical use so far.

Of the drugs being considered in the Colorado initiative, psilocybin is the most studied. Clinical trials have tested psilocybin in combina tion with therapy. Unlike antidepres sants, which must be taken regularly,

mental health challenges.”

While anecdotal experiences have yielded positive results, research on psychedelic usage is limited be cause such the drugs are illegal at a federal level. Denver voters decrimi nalized mushrooms in 2019 within the city limits, but purchasing the substance remains illegal. Possess ing mushrooms is still prohibited in parts of Colorado outside of Denver.

In efforts to invite research and make psilocybin more accessible to the general population, Coloradans will vote on the Natural Medicine Health Act, which would create regulated access to mushrooms. While users and advocates of the

psilocybin has been shown to have durable treatment effects after just one, two, or three doses. It is unclear whether psilocybin has any health benefits outside the psilocybin-assist ed therapy protocols used in clinical studies.

Some research findings show that psilocybin-assisted therapy can be useful in treating substance use disorders, including nicotine and alcohol addiction. Clinical trials for mescaline, ibogaine, and dimethyl tryptamine are still in preliminary stages.

5. Will this sprout another industry like marijuana?

Because psilocybin is naturally occurring, people tend to assume its path to legalization will follow that of cannabis. However, the compounds have key differences in the way they affect people. Psilocybin is unlikely to win approval as easily as marijua na, which is legal for medical use in

medicine say they are proponents of its decriminalization, many will vote “no,” on the bill as it is written, as they believe its sponsors have not kept racial equity in mind.

“This could be cannabis 5.0, with the same people in charge and the lack of equity, so I am very cautious when it comes to how we do this,” said Melanie Rose Rodgers, a Denver resident and psychedelic advocate who helped with Denver’s decrimi nalization efforts. “I’m not opposed to legalization. I’m opposed to this legalization that’s being rushed.”

Rose Rodgers, a woman of color, said people of color have been us ing mushrooms and cannabis for

39 states and the District of Colum bia. Nineteen of those states and D.C. also allow recreational use.

The Colorado measure expressly forbids the sale of psychedelics outside of licensed facilities. How ever, the potential for legalization in the state and elsewhere in the U.S. has spurred the launch of dozens of companies eager to commercialize the sale and treatment of psilocy bin. Some are organizing retreats to Jamaica, Peru, or Mexico, where they conduct ceremonies that reflect the traditional use of psilocybin and other natural psychedelics that date back centuries.

thousands of years and have been criminalized for it, while white business owners have profited from legalization.

“My perspective in this comes from social justice. It comes from watching what happens when you legalize in Colorado,” Rose Rodgers said. “I am cautious about what do we do with psychedelics.”

No. 8 Ralston Valley gets playo monkey o its back

BY DENNIS PLEUSS SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA

ARVADA — A seven-year drought ended Oct. 26 for Ralston Valley’s boys soccer team.

The Mustangs — No. 8-seed for the Class 5A state tournament — grabbed a dominating 6-0 victory over No. 25 Northglenn at the North Area Athletic Complex. It was the first postseason victory for Ralston Valley on the boys soccer pitch since 2015.

“I didn’t really talk about it,” Ralston Valley junior Ryan Mann said of the postseason losing streak. “Today is a new day. We are a new team. We wanted to take care of business, and that is what we did today.”

The last playoff victory for Ralston Valley was against Fossil Ridge seven years ago. The Mustangs came into Wednesday’s game with a 0-5 record in first-round playoff games since 2016.

“A little bit,” Ralston Valley coach Jamie Scarcliff said when asked if she felt like a monkey had been lifted off the Mustangs’ back with the playoff win. “I was anxious going into today. We’ve struggled in the first round in the past. It’s always tough to be the higher seed because there are always upsets. You don’t want to be the one who gets upset.”

a first-half performance to remember to get the Mustangs on an early stampede of goals. The forward had a hat-trick before halftime with goals in the seventh, 24th and 26th minutes to give the Mustangs a commanding 3-0 lead.

Top-seeded Legacy soccer moves to Colorado’s second round

BY STEFAN BRODSKY SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA

BROOMFIELD — Legacy High School beat Overland 4-1 in the opening round of the Colorado state 5A boys soccer tournament in Broomfield.

Cooper Stephens scored two of the Lightning’s goals in the game on Oct. 26.

Nikhil Newman and Tristan Maurek also scored for Legacy. Goalkeeper Wesley Hempelmann made four saves in 78 minutes of play. Hudson Roster finished out the contest in goal for LHS and didn’t have to make a save.

No stats were available for the Trailblazers.

The Lightning (15-1) host Castle View in the second round of the playoffs. Kickoff time is 6 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 1, in Broomfield. Overland finished its season with a record of 7-9.

“I’ve had a few hat-tricks in my career, but never one that quick,” Hineline said. “I’m happy. I’ve never done that in my career.”

Hineline’s first goal came off a direct free kick that he rocketed past Northglenn senior goalie Carlos Castaneda Rodelo. The next two goals were in the run of play two minutes apart.

“He (Hineline) is an amazing player. He is good in big games,” Mann said of Hineline. “He showed out for us today which was really big

for our team.”

Rodelo made a couple of diving saves to keep it a 3-0 lead for the Mustangs (11-5 record) going into halftime. Ralston Valley junior goalie Evan Bierman keep it a clean sheet in the first half stopping just the few shots the Norse (9-7) had on goal.

Mann extended the lead to 4-0 with a penalty kick goal in the 57th minute.

“Second half you are always worried that the other team is going to come out firing and get one to change momentum,” Mann said. “That PK was huge to keep the momentum.”

Ralston Valley sealed the victory with senior Pablo Molla Tejero’s goal in the 70th minute and then a direct

free kick in the 78th minute from an unlikely source. Back-up goalie Donovan Meador took the free kick and sailed it into the top right corner of the net to put a perfect ending on the 6-0 victory. The Mustangs’ bench erupted after Meador’s first goal of the year.

“I’m proud of them,” Scarcliff said. “The kids have worked really hard. We’ve worked really hard to get to that 8th (seed). We worked hard to prepare for today.”

No. 24 Liberty upset No. 9 Monarch 5-3 in a first-round game. The Lancers (9-6-1) will travel to the NAAC to face Ralston Valley in the second round Tuesday, Nov. 1. The Mustangs took a 2-0 victory over Liberty in

Colorado Springs during a nonleague game Sept. 15.

“I think we can go compete with all of them,” said Scarcliff, who purposely scheduled a tough schedule that included five teams that were top-10 seeds for the 5A state tournament. “I’m excited to see how we do. I’m excited to be taking on Liberty. We’ve got a tough battle against Liberty having to play them again.”

Mann believes the Mustangs are primed for a long playoff run.

“I think we owed it to our school. We owed it to our coaching staff and more importantly to ourselves,” Hineline said of the Mustangs moving into the second round of the playoffs.

(1) For purposes of this paragraph, "low income" shall be 60 percent of the current area median income (AMI).

(3) Such rebate will be paid in the form of a credit applied to the water account of the eligible resi dential user.

(G) Out-of-City Customers: A surcharge of 25 per cent will be added to all charges and fees related to the provision of water service to customers located outside the City limits, unless provided otherwise by contract or agreement with the City.

Section 2. Subsection 8-8-5(D), W.M.C., is hereby AMENDED as follows:

8-8-5. Service and User Charges Within the City of Westminster and Shaw Heights; Lien on Property.

[…]

(D) The rates for user charges hereinafter set forth are based generally upon the quantity and quality of sewage collected and they are subject to change periodically as circumstances require.

Sewer rates are charged based on the average monthly water consumption (AWC), which is based on the average monthly water consumption per user billed during the sewer rate calculation period (January through March). If the water consumption for any month during the AWC calculation period is less than 2,000 gallons, the calculation amount used will be 2,000 gallons. If the water consumption for any month during the AWC calculation period is over 2,000 gallons, the actual water consumption will be used in the AWC calculation process.

The AWC is multiplied by the rate per 1,000 gal lons (kgal) for that class of property (residential or nonresidential) to calculate the monthly sewer charge.

Sewer Rate Schedule. The monthly sewer charge is calculated by multiplying the AWC times the rate per customer category:

Type of Customer 2022 Charge per 1,000 gallons (kgal) 2023 Charge per 1,000 gallons (kgal)

Residential $7.84 $8.31

Nonresidential $8.15 $8.64

Any new occupant of an existing property shall be charged the property's current sewer rate through the AWC sewer rate calculation period.

Any new occupant of an existing residential unit or newly constructed single family residential units shall be charged based on the average AWC of all single family homes billed by the City from the most recent calculation period. Any new multi-unit accounts shall be charged the average AWC for existing multi-family units billed by the City from the most recent calculation period.

New commercial accounts shall be charged based on the indoor water service commitments pur chased divided by 12 to establish an initial AWC.

For all customers, a new AWC will be calculated based on actual usage during the next AWC calculation period.

Commercial users shall be allowed to install a separate meter to record evaporative and nonwastewater production water use, or wastewater production, as the City directs, during the AWC sewer rate calculation period, of which consump tion will not be assessed a sewer use charge. The monthly sewer charge for commercial users may be appealed to the Utility Billing Division for user charges resulting from the average monthly water billed during the period of January through March and may be adjusted if the water billed during the months of July through September is less than the meter readings taken during the standard AWC sewer rate calculation period.

For all residential and commercial accounts, for the first month of ownership sewer charges shall be prorated based on the number of days remain ing in the property's billing cycle. For all accounts, individual reviews of indoor water consumption may be made on a case-by-case basis to assess adjustments to consumption charges.

[…]

Section 3. Section 8-12-7, W.M.C., is hereby AMENDED as follows:

8-12-7. Water Rate Schedule.

(A) All non-potable water delivered from the City's reclaimed/non-potable water system shall be metered, and the charge therefor shall be set at 80 percent of the existing commercial potable water rates as set forth in Section 8-7-9, W.M.C.
