Weeks of heavy rainfall followed by a string of hot days, has health o cials in Adams County warning residents to be aware of mosquitoes. e weather has created perfect conditions for mosquitoes, some with the ability to transmit the potentially deadly West Nile virus.

e Adams County Health Department runs a mosquito trapping program in various parts of the county. From there, they identify mosquitoes that could carry the virus and run tests on them.

Ferah Jaura, manager of the program, said that monitoring mos-

quitoes in this way is the county’s primary tool for warning the public about health risks.

So far, Jaura said the county has not tracked any mosquitoes carrying the virus.

However, the virus has been found in mosquitoes in Arapahoe, Boulder, Delta, Larimer and Weld counties, according to recent tests in each county.

West Nile is the most common mosquito-borne disease in the continental United States, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Most of those who are infected don’t feel sick, but about one in ve people develop a fever and other symptoms. About one in 150 people become seriously ill and may die, according to the CDC. irty-six cases have been reported to the CDC so far this year, none of them yet in Colorado. However, based on past trends, health ofcials in the state believe cases will

appear soon.

Last year, Colorado reported 206 total cases and 20 deaths in 2022. Of those, Adams County had 23 cases and 5 deaths, said Adams County Environmental Health Division Director Brian Hlavacek.

“We expect we will see some cases [this year],” Hlavacek said. “But we can’t predict the numbers.”

Jaura expects mosquito activity to rise towards the end of July into August. She said the time to take preventative measures is now. ere are countless ways to prevent mosquito populations from growing and spreading the virus, despite the rain this summer.

“Mosquitoes lay their eggs in stagnant water and require water to complete their life cycle,” Jaura said. “Due to the abundance of rain in Colorado, mosquito populations are ourishing.”

After an emotional and intense city council meeting on July 10, Northglenn councilors will vote on a resolution to censure City Councilors Nicholas Walker and Tim Long.  e move comes after Northglenn’s Diversity, Inclusivity, and Social Equity Board member Christina Cimino called for the action.

“On behalf of the Northglenn DISE Board, our LGBTQIS+ community and allies, I am calling for the formal censure of Councilor Long and Walker. Censuring Councilor Long and Walker as a sign of formal disapproval of their actions on June 5 is the only answer for their actions,” Cimino said during public comment.

It stems from previous actions by both councilors. Walker and Long both walked out of council chambers at the June 5 meeting during the Pride Proclamation. At the June 12 meeting, Walker and Long both addressed their actions.

“We’ll address some comments, opinions, last week from not only inside this chamber but also outside from some keyboard warriors. My response to those opinions is simply this: lions do not lose sleep over the opinions of sheep,” Walker said.

Mosquitoes are coming out this summer as more people are experiencing bites.

Drivers license bureau office moving to Westminster

The Colorado Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV) is moving its Northglenn Driver License Office two miles west to an office suite inside the Adams County Western Services Center at 12200 Pecos St. in Westminster.

The new State driver license office at Adams County Western Services Center was set to begin offering licensing services July 17, and will be open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.

The new office will offer all driver license services, such as license and identification (I.D.) card renewals, endorsements, instruction permit tests and more.

While the new driver license office will serve all Coloradans, its convenient location makes it a DMV One Stop for Adams County residents. A DMV One Stop is when state driver license and identification services are within walking distance of county motor vehicle services.

In Colorado, the state DMV offers licensing and I.D. card services while each county provides motor vehicle services, such as registration and license plates, to their residents. Driver license offices and motor vehicle offices are rarely offered in the same building unless both are operated by a county.

Spare runway decommissioned at RMMA

Rarely used crosswind runway closed due to costly repairs

BY LUKE ZARZECKI LZARZECKI@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A rarely used Rocky Mountain Metropolitan Airport runway, used when winds shift, will be closed down, Je erson County Commissioners agreed.

Je erson County Commissioners unanimously agreed to decommission the crosswind runway at Rocky Mountain Metropolitan Airport at the June 20 Board of Commissioner Meeting.

e runway was last xed in 198. It has been closed temporarily in the recent past due to cracks and potholes. Airport Director Paul Anslow said that the FAA doesn’t have money to x the runway, which was designed to last about 20 years.

e airport hired a consultant to analyze their options and asked their on-call engineering rm to see what needs xing. Anslow said the current estimate for construction is $14 million, and the airport doesn’t have that money to do so.

“Without FAA funding, it’s just not possible,” he said.

Even if the airport shortened the runway instead of reconstructing the entire landing strip, it would cost $10 million, which still isn’t in the cards for the small airport.

Several pilots, residents and others testi ed in favor of keeping the runway in operation, citing safety concerns and attempts to bring more commercial airlines to RMMA. Some called for the decision to be postponed for 90 more days.

Kyle Heckman, a pilot at the airport, said he took his dad on a ight on Father’s Day and needed to use the runway due to a sudden shift in wind patterns.

“You don’t need it until you need it,” he said.

In an interview, Heckman said he

thinks this is a step in the direction of the airport moving to more commercial service to RMMA.

“Is that what the constituents of Je erson County really want and are really asking for?” Heckman said.

Inconvenience more than safety

Anslow said the FAA looks at improvements like this runway as regional issues. At RMMA, fewer than 1% of the airport operations use that runway. ere are other runways nearby that can serve in the same capacity, he said.

Anslow said the runway is designed for certain wind conditions for smaller aircraft. He said that if wind conditions change mid- ight, pilots will be able to land at other

areas like Boulder or Longmont, though he said there is a “slight risk in decommissioning that runway.”

“It’s inconvenience more than safety,” he said.

He also said that closing the runway will result in a small reduction in noise, but not much due to how rarely the runway is used.

Expansion opportunities

With the decision to decommission the airport, Anslow said sta can now begin to look at other options for redevelopment. He said a commercial terminal is on the table, but so is an FBO, corporate hangers, and multiple other options. He noted he will need to come back to the commissioners to receive approval.

If the airport did build a commercial terminal, Anslow said it would be an expansion of JSX. He said that JSX has been successful and is looking to expand its operations.

And if the airport did move forward with a commercial terminal, he said the airport is also saving development spots for general aviation, not just commercial.

With the new vote, the runway is still open, but signals the beginning of the decommission and considering other options for the airport.  “ is is just a step in a very long process,” Anslow said.

Westminster dogs and their owners not longer need to purchase a license to prove rabies vaccination, City Councilors agreed.

Westminster eliminates dog license requirement

BY LUKE ZARZECKI LZARZECKI@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Westminster canines and their owners will no longer need to purchase a tag to be registered in the city, councilors agreed.

Councilors voted unanimously to eliminate the dog license requirement at the July 10 council meeting. “ is was the thought of Councilor Baker,” said Mayor Nancy McNally.

According to the meeting’s agenda, the city will continue to send $280,000 a year to the Foothills Animal Shelter despite the loss in revenue from the past requirement.

According to city information, the

city has required dog licenses in the past to ensure dogs are up-to-date on their rabies vaccines. Money from the licenses has been used to fund the Foothills Animal Shelter. e shelter also helped reunite lost dogs with their owners, but Animal Management O cers reported that they haven’t used the dog license to nd the owners for some time. According to city information, Westminster Municipal Code requires dogs and cats to be vaccinated against rabies with a ne of $500 if they aren’t. at will continue and the city will continue to give the money to the Foothills Animal Shelter from the General Fund.

Westminster’s stretch of Federal Parkway will get an upgrade, with four lanes, a raised center median and other improvements.

Westminster City council unanimously voted to accept federal funds to improve Federal Parkway at the July 10 city council meeting.

e project will make Federal a four-lane road from 120th Avenue to 122nd Avenue. It’ll include a raised center median, bike lanes, connections to bike trails, drainage improvements and streetlights.

e City will be required to pay $750,000 while the money from

Uncle Sam will be to the tune of $3 million. According to the meeting’s agenda, the funds come from Former Congressman Ed Perlmutter who helped earmark the money in 2021.

It will also help complete the gap between the intersection of Federal Boulevard and 120th Avenue, as well as development projects that upgraded the road from Zuni Street to 122nd Avenue.

“ is project will incorporate a consistent roadway section along Federal Parkway from West 120th Avenue to West 122nd Avenue,” the agenda reads.

e construction is planned to start in 2024.

PRIDE

In the past, Walker declined and/or didn’t respond to requests for an interview regarding his position. At the July 10 meeting, he also said he had no comment on the matter.

Long, who also declined requests for an interview, said at the June 12 meeting that a resident told him the government should not intervene with personal matters.

“We all have our own biases, we have our own feelings, we have our own religiosity, spirituality and we all have our sensitivity as to being fair and honest with everybody in our community which is what we try to live up to and I’m sorry some people took issue,” Long said.

But at the July 10 meeting, Long said he walked out because he didn’t approve of the city spending money on the Pride event, and met with the City Manager and City Attorney to cancel the event on May 9.

“ at’s how scary things have gotten for the other side, the other people that have those opinions. But what am I telling them? I tell them as I do you now, it’s about the money going to special interest groups, not about themselves, each person can choose how to

live,” he said.

“ at’s the freedom garnered by our Founding Fathers who did not live in a awed American past like many people would have us believe,” he said.

During his explanation, he touted his healthcare career and his and his wife’s e orts in Waldorf schools.

The censure

e council had three options to move forward with a vote on censuring the two councilors. Councilors could vote on a verbal motion of censure at the July 10 meeting, postpone the matter and censure by resolution at the next city council meeting or do nothing.

ey agreed to vote on the resolution at the July 24 city council meeting.

According to City Attorney Corey Ho mann, both actions would’ve had the same e ect but the resolution would be a written document. Ho mann explained that from a U.S. Supreme Court decision, the power of assemblies to censure members was “assumed.”

“It is essentially a statement by an elected body in this context expressing displeasure with something that one of its members did,” he said.

He said it’s an expression of speech and is not a “deprivation of any right.”

“It is simply a statement by the

council,” he said.

City Councilor Megan Burns said she welcomes diversity of views and opinions but draws a line at their actions.

“I will not accept intolerance from the dais,” she said.

In a ery speech, City Councilor Becky Brown told a story of growing up Polish and the discrimination she faced. She regrets her vote for Long, who was appointed to the city council this year. Long, according to Brown, hasn’t given the rest of the council respect by not discussing his views with them.

“You have insulted not only our community, you’ve insulted me as a body of this community,” Brown said.

She called for Long’s resignation from the council.

“You have ruined my last year on council. You have taken it and you’ve ruined and I supported you from the get-go, and I don’t know what I did wrong,” she said.

Brown said Long destroyed the city. She also linked his actions to discrimination Cimino faced outside of her home.  In an interview, Cimino said someone aimed a bottle rocket at her house on the Fourth of July and called her a derogatory term.

“It’s more insulting that you don’t have the wherewithal to address the community you insulted,” Brown said.

In contrast, she said that Walker was an elected o cial instead of being appointed, which is why she thinks he should be censured but did not ask him to resign.

Walker showed up late to the July 10 meeting and attended virtually, due to a family emergency.

“As far as this matter goes, I have no comment on this tonight,”

Walker said.

Mayor Meredith Leighty told Long that given his meeting with the city manager and the city attorney and his concerns surrounding the funds going to the event, there were many opportunities for him to voice those concerns to the rest of the council.

Leighty also condemned both Long’s and Walker’s comments at the June 12 meeting and said that was an opportunity for Long to express his concerns over the nances.

“ e LGBTQ community is not a special interest group,” Leighty said.

In addition to each councilor voicing their disapproval of Long’s and Walker’s actions, over 10 people spoke at public comment condemning those actions, with some echoing Cimino’s calls for them to be censured.

“Mr. Walker was saying that people were keyboard warriors and his constituents are sheep. I’m so deeply disappointed that a human being who sits on this dais would look at his constituents that way,” said Autumn Romero, of Northglenn.

Some testi ed in opposition to the potential censure.

“Councilmember Long, Councilmember Walker, I’m sorry. I’m really sorry you had to go through that. You have a God-given, constitutional right, to not engage in speech and that was abridged through intimidation and bullying. And it was disgraceful,” said Northglenn resident Beth McIlree.  McIlree said that contrary to what other council members have said, councilors should not leave their personal agendas and biases at the door.

Namazi cites freedom of speech and moves dismiss restraining order

BY LUKE ZARZECKI LZARZECKI@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

e attorney for Dariush Namazi, who is facing e orts to make a temporary restraining order led against him by ornton Mayor Jan Kulmann permanent, led a motion to dismiss the case on July 7.

“I am not aware of any prior instance, at least since the Bill of Rights was adopted in 1791, where a Mayor has sought an injunction prohibiting one of her constituents from having ‘any contact’ with her,” wrote Namazi’s attorney Steve Zansberg in an email. “To describe this as an extremely dangerous precedent would be a gross understatement.”

Zansberg, who is a well-known rst amendment attorney in Colorado, also serves as counsel for Colorado Community Media.

e motion says the e ort to make the temporary restraining order permanent is a “textbook SLAPP,” which is a Strategic Lawsuit Against Public Participation. Instead of Kulmann telling her constituents that Namazi’s alter ego was a fraud, she pursued the order to silence him, it alleges.

“She falsely accused him of being a ‘dangerous’ and ‘extremely aggressive’ person and she used her bully pulpit, as Mayor – in a City Council meeting streamed and archived on the Internet – to urge members of the community to ‘stop him,’” the motion reads.

City council members and candidates like Mayor Jan Kulmann, Angie Bedolla, City Councilor Eric Garcia and Mayor Pro Tem Jessica Sandgren have alleged harassment from Namazi. Kulmann was granted a temporary restraining order on June 22 against him, with the hearing to make it permanent on July 18.

As a Statement of Undisputed Material Facts, the motion explains Namazi began his fake persona on June 3 to bring attention to the politics of Kulmann, both her views and o cial decisions. It cites that he used the same parody techniques of Stephan Colbert and Sasha Baron Cohen.

“Nor did (Mr. Namazi), appearing in character as an ardent Jan Kulmann supporter and campaign volunteer, ever assault, threaten, or intimidate Ms. Kulmann; to the contrary, he guratively sang her praises

as ‘ ornton’s own Donald Trump,’” the motion reads.

e motion also says Namazi interviewed a police o cer “who had consistently been observing“ his appearances at city events after he was served the restraining order and asked if he was being aggressive toward the mayor.

“O cer Garcia responded that if he had seen that, he would have intervened, but he did not intervene because he did not observe any such interaction,” the motion reads.

Kulmann Campaign Manager Tiffany Coolidge said that her attorney will not have any lings until the hearing.

Thornton political activist Dan Namazi, who identifies in public as Danny Kulmann, waves a sign at Adams County’s Pride festival June 10. The activist attends public events and meetings in an e ort to draw attention Mayor Jan Kulmann, but Kulmann said she’s not flattered by his attention.

Wet weather brings uptick in ticks

BY NINA JOSS NJOSS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

e wet weather this season means nature lovers should be on the lookout for ticks as they enjoy Colorado’s mountains, woods, parks and trails.

“ ere does seem to be a lot more ticks this year,” said Chris Roundy, a medical entomologist at the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment. “ ey do like wet weather, so our wet spring has certainly created ideal environments for them.”

Types of ticks and diseases

e two most common ticks in Colorado are the Rocky Mountain wood tick and the American dog tick, which can both carry diseases, Roundy said.

e likeliness of getting a disease from a tick bite in Colorado, however, is relatively low.

“ ough we are seeing an increase in ticks, that doesn’t necessarily mean an increase in tick-borne diseases,” Roundy said. “If you are bitten by a tick, there’s still a very slim chance that they will transmit anything.”

Luckily, ticks in Colorado do not carry Lyme disease, a sometimes

Prevention and tick collection

To prevent ticks, Roundy said people should wear long pants tucked into socks, use insect repellent with DEET and consider treating their clothes with an insecticide called Permethrin if they will be outside for days at a time.

“If you’ve been spending signicant time outside — always a good idea to check for ticks,” he added. “ ey like to hang out in areas where they’ve got something helping them hold on. is might be in our armpits, waistband, back of the knee, in your hair.”

If someone nds a tick on themselves, a pet or outside, they can double-bag it and send it to the state health department to contribute to the Colorado Citizen Science Tick Surveillance Program.

Xcel Energy is surveying 1,300 miles of power lines near Denver for fire risks

BY MARK JAFFE THE COLORADO SUN

Margaret Bones had to wait for the rotor blades on the Bell Long Ranger helicopter to begin to whirr before there was electricity to power up her computer, cameras and sensors, but once the blades were spinning, she punched the buttons turning on her gear.

Bones and her pilot Raphel Perozo were headed to Indian Hills, a neighborhood east of Evergreen in search of wild re risks using high resolution cameras and laser radar, known as lidar.

e search has taken on heightened urgency in the wake of the 2021 Marshall Fire, the most destructive in Colorado history razing more than 1,000 Boulder County homes and businesses, tallying $2 billion in damages.

One cause of the re, county ocials concluded, was an Xcel Energy distribution line that had come loose in high winds. e utility has disputed that nding, but is already facing lawsuits from homeowners and businesses.

Still, electrical lines do pose a risk, the company noted in a ling with the Colorado Public Utilities commission, citing a 2019 study by Verisk Analytics that found onethird of the more than 2.2 million housing units in the state are in either moderate or high wild re risk areas.

at ranked Colorado third behind California and Texas for properties exposed to wild re danger.

And so, the hunt is on.

e use of lidar radar and computer analysis of the data it amasses are part of Xcel Energy’s Wild re Mitigation Plan, submitted to state regulators in 2019 and funded with $148 million in ratepayer dollars.

Bones, 27, an airborne systems operator for Sandy Springs, Georgiabased GeoDigital, has own lidar runs all over the U.S. and Canada, sometimes collecting data for selfdriving auto systems and sometimes for utilities checking their high-voltage transmission lines.

More and more of the work is checking smaller power lines, Bones said.

“LiDAR is more commonly applied to transmission lines,” Drew McGuire, director of research and development at the nonpro t Electric Power Research Institute, said in an email. “With increasing focus on wild re risk reduction, some utilities are nding ways to use this technology on distribution lines as well.”

McGuire said that these applications are emerging technologies.

“Not all LiDAR is created equal,” he said. “ ey’re easy to use, but tricky to get ‘accurate’ data.”

Still, the experience with lidar is rising as the costs of the technology and data analysis decline. “New innovations to collect and process these data will likely make LiDAR application in distribution even more common in the future,” McGuire said.

Bones and Perozo are searching for possible problems with vegetation, inadequate clearance for lines and potentially overloaded poles. e project, begun in 2020, aims to cover 1,500 miles of distribution lines in more than 300 wild re risk zones by 2025. Last spring — spring is the prime time to do this work — the project scanned the San Luis Valley. is year it is scouring the foothills west of Denver.

e work is painstaking as it can take multiple passes to complete one serpentine line. “On a good day we can do 20 miles of line, but usually only manage 12 to 15 due to

afternoon storms,” Bones said.

On the belly of the Long Ranger — a bigger, more powerful version of the Bell Jet Ranger to deal with mountain turbulence — is the lidar sensor, three high resolution cameras and a near-infrared camera. ere is also a weather probe recording wind, temperature and humidity.

As they trace a line, Bones watches the images from the three cameras — one facing forward, one facing down and one facing aft — on her computer monitor. Once the line has cleared the rear camera, Bones knows the section is done.

At the same time the lidar — short for Light Detection and Ranging — is sending out laser pulses measuring distances and generating data that is the basis for a 3D representation of the lines and poles. e nearinfrared camera can also identify unhealthy trees near lines.

All this data — up to four terabytes each day or the equivalent of uploading one million photos — is then used to create a 3D computer model of the distribution system by an Xcel Energy contractor, Fort Collins-based EDM International.

With the model the network can be stress tested for temperature, wind loads, and to see if lines are adequately spaced and whether poles are overloaded.

“We are looking for those inadequate clearances and overloaded poles,” said Andy Stewart, president of EDM International.

Finding potentially problematic poles without some kind of scanning would be a challenge in as much as Stewart estimated there are 89,000 poles in wild re risk zones.

Republican Barbara Kirkmeyer won’t run again in Colorado’s highly competitive 8th Congressional District

BY JESSE PAUL THE COLORADO SUN

Republican state Sen. Barbara Kirkmeyer has announced that she won’t run again next year in Colorado’s highly competitive 8th Congressional District.

She’s opting instead to seek another four-year term in the Colorado Senate, where she is a member of the powerful Joint Budget Committee. Kirmeyer said in a written statement that she believes she can best serve Colorado as a state senator.

“I appreciate the many supporters who have encouraged me to run again for Colorado’s 8th Congressional District,” Kirkmeyer said. “Being

the 2022 Republican nominee for CD8 was the honor of a lifetime. My decision to instead run for reelection comes after careful consideration and deliberation.”

Weld County Commissioner Scott James, another Republican, has led to run in the district after Kirkmeyer announced her decision. He is the rst GOP candidate to announce an e ort to dislodge Democratic U.S. Rep. Yadira Caraveo next year in the toss-up district that spans Denver’s northeast suburbs in Adams County along U.S. 85 into Weld County and Greeley.

National Republicans say the district is one of their top 2024 targets. Caraveo beat Kirkmeyer by less

than a percentage point, or roughly 1,600 votes, in 2022.

While there’s still a year to go before Election Day 2024, Caraveo has built a sizable fundraising advantage over James and any other potential GOP challengers since she hasn’t had a Republican opponent until now. Congressional candidates must le to run before they can start raising money.

A number of Republicans have been eyeing a run in the district, including state Rep. Gabe Evans, of Fort Lupton.

“CD8 is a very special place that deserves a bold voice and a committed, engaged representative,” Evans told e Sun on Tuesday. “As

a Hispanic veteran, I’m de nitely considering all options.”

Former Weld County Commissioner Steve Moreno and former state Rep. Dan Woog, of Erie, haven’t ruled out an 8th District bid, either.

e GOP primary in the 8th District will be held June 25.

Proposed change to Colorado GOP bylaws would make it easier to block una liated voters from Republican primaries

BY JESSE PAUL AND SANDRA FISH THE COLORADO SUN

e Colorado GOP’s state central committee is scheduled next month to consider a change to the party’s bylaws that would make it easier for Republicans to block una liated voters from participating in their primaries, a major objective of the far right.

e amendment would make a nonvote by a member of the central committee an automatic “yes” vote on any action that requires the approval of at least 70% of the committee’s support to pass.

Under Proposition 108, the 2016 ballot measure letting una liated

voters cast ballots in partisan primaries, the Colorado Democratic and Republican parties can opt out of the change if 75% of their respective central committees agree to do so.

A GOP e ort to block una liated voters from the 2022 primaries was soundly rejected by the Republican state central committee. A subsequent federal lawsuit also failed.

But far-right Republicans are still pushing to prevent una liated voters — who make up the largest share of Colorado’s electorate — from weighing in on GOP primaries. Proponents of opting out are worried that Democrats are registered as una liated voters and casting ballots for weaker candidates in GOP

primaries.

Colorado GOP Chairman Dave Williams, whose campaign to lead the party earlier this year hinged largely on his support of blocking una liated voters from participating in Republican primaries, said he hasn’t taken a position on the amendment.

“ is is a clever attempt to make an impossible 75% threshold be possible to meet,” Williams told e Colorado Sun. “I won’t be advocating from the chairman’s podium.

at’s not appropriate.”

Williams said the proposal was drafted by Chuck Bonniwell, a conservative commentator, and that in early July it hadn’t been vetted by the party’s bylaws committee.

Bonniwell told e Sun the 75% threshold is e ectively impossible to meet because most members of the central committee don’t show up for meetings. He said Proposition 108 was written to prevent a party from opting out and that he’s simply trying to level the playing eld.

To pass, the amendment needs the support of two-thirds of the central committee members who gather Aug. 5 in Castle Rock, where the party will also select a new vice chair. Priscilla Rahn, who was reelected to

the position earlier this year, resigned from her post last month to run for a seat on the Douglas County Commission.

Bonniwell said he doesn’t know if he can meet the two-thirds threshold, but he’s going to lobby central committee members in the coming weeks to support his proposed change.

“It’s gonna be a challenge,” he said. “But I thought I’d give everybody the opportunity.”

e opt-out vote must happen by Oct. 1, per Proposition 108.

If the GOP opts out of the state primary, general election nominees would instead be selected through the caucus and assembly process by a relatively small number of Republicans. at would leave hundreds of thousands of party members out of the process and likely lead to more partisan candidates. Opting out would also prevent candidates from gathering signatures to get on the ballot.

More than 434,000 Republicans and 231,000 una liated voters cast ballots in the 2022 GOP primary. In some counties, more una liated

Budget cuts could push more Coloradans into homelessness, housing advocates say

Colorado’s minimum wage workers would have to work 94 hours per week to a ord a modest twobedroom apartment, according to a new report.

Even after a deal was struck to avoid a default on the nation’s bills, Congress is still moving to cut roughly 22% from the U.S. Housing and Urban Development’s budget.

voters cast Republican primary ballots than registered Republicans.

e una liated participation in 2022 was up considerably from 2020 and 2018, the rst year una liated voters were allowed to cast ballots in Colorado’s partisan primaries.

Both Democrats and Republicans have been steadily losing members as voters switch to una liated. At the end of June, 47% of voters were registered una liated, 27% were Democrats and 24% were Republicans.

While opting out has been an objective of the far right, more moderate Republicans have warned that it could spell further disaster for the Colorado GOP by alienating una liated voters.

Former state Rep. Ron Hanks, who lost the GOP U.S. Senate primary in 2022, and Colorado GOP Secretary Anna Ferguson recently attended a Fremont County Central Committee meeting and urged members to support opting out of the primary, Fremont County Clerk Justin Grantham said.

Hanks made the ballot through the caucus and assembly process and lost in the primary to Joe O’Dea, a Denver construction company owner who gathered signatures to make the ballot.

Grantham, a Republican, said he worries about the consequences of cutting so many party members out of primary voting. Only about 3,700 delegates attended the 2022 GOP state assembly to select statewide

Cathy Alderman, chief communications and public policy o cer at the Colorado Coalition for the Homeless, said cuts to a ordable housing and rental assistance programs would be devastating for the nation’s most vulnerable populations.

“If that happens, almost a million households that are currently receiving rental assistance could lose that rental assistance, at a time when housing costs are increasing,”

candidates, with as few as about 400 people participating in some of the congressional assemblies.

Bonniwell said he plans to propose an amendment at the state central committee’s meeting in September that would let all registered Republicans vote at a special convention on who should be the party’s general election candidate.

“I really want all Republicans to vote in the primary,” he said. “I just don’t want another primary in which Democrats go una liated and unafliateds dominate the election. I believe in the caucus system, but (there are) too limited a number of people who go there.”

Former state Sen. Kevin Lundberg wrote in a recent email newsletter to supporters that the GOP has raised about $12,000 of the $50,000 it says it needs to le another lawsuit challenging una liated voters’ ability to participate in partisan primaries. He’s spearheading the potential legal challenge on behalf of the party, with John Eastman expected to be part of the lawsuit, Williams told conservative talk show host George Brauchler.

Eastman, a former University of Colorado visiting scholar and lawyer for President Donald Trump, represented a group of Republicans in the failed lawsuit last year seeking to block una liated voters from Colorado’s 2022 primaries. California is considering disbarring Eastman for his role in Trump’s attempts to overturn the results in the 2020 election.

e central committee will also consider an amendment at its Aug. 5 meeting that would change how its delegates to the Republican National

Alderman pointed out. “It’s likely that those households would fall into homelessness.”

Committee convention are selected and operate.

e proposed change is an attempt to make Republican presidential candidates pay closer attention to Colorado next year, Williams said, given that the Centennial State will be one of several states holding their primary on Super Tuesday, March 5, 2024.

Under the amendment, any GOP presidential candidate who wins more than 20% of the primary vote in Colorado could select their own delegates from the state to attend the RNC convention. Additionally, the amendment would bind Colorado’s delegates to support their assigned

CROSS CURRENTS

n the past few weeks, the Westminster community and the Westminster Rotary Club have felt the loss of three long-term outstanding community-minded individuals. Each distinguished himself in their respective ways, while Rotary International’s motto of “Service Above Self” burned bright within each of them. All three were long-time members of the local Rotary Club while serving or heading up di erent community programs and projects.participated in a number of Rotary programs and projects.

Don Rhoda was well known for his position of Principal at Ranum High School for decades. Don demonstrated a clear and easy to understand demeanor in gaining the respect of his high school students. While he was a disciplinarian, he also had a soft side to helping others. He and fellow School District 50 Principal Larry Malsam at the then Career Enrichment Park led the club’s scholarship program for many years. He and Mike Hayes were instrumental in starting the Westminster Rotary Foundation.

11,000 computers have been distributed to school kids over the years who could not a ord a computer. He led the club’s expansion of the Dolly Parton Imagination Library program, which provides a book each month to children and has spread throughout Adams County. Also, he had a passion for the Rotary Youth Leadership (RYLA) program providing leadership skills to teenagers.

Pueblo has an interesting idea on “childcare desert” issue

In Pueblo there is a shortage of child care providers trained and licensed to take care of children who are not old enough to attend school. Angie Shehorn, Director of the Children First program in Pueblo, calls the situation a “childcare desert.”

Approximately 60% of children in Pueblo below school age are cared for by a family member or neighbor. Plus, those parents who nd available childcare cannot always a ord it. With both parents working, it is a major dilemma.

Looking at Zig Ziglar’s career, many will refer to him as the master motivator, or remember him as the salesman’s salesman. With more than 30 books to his name, Zig taught us all so much about life, not just sales, leadership, or business, his teachings went far beyond those topics. Zig was all about building up the person as his mission was to help as many people as possible with their personal, professional and spiritual lives so that he could have a positive impact on the world. I thank Zig for all that he taught me and for being an incredible role model of consistency, guiding me to being a “meaningful speci c,” instead of a “wandering generality.” If you haven’t read “See You at the Top” I highly recommend it.

Whacky antics In Thornton’s Mayor and City Council races

Holy cow, where does one start with reporter Luke Zarzecki’s story in the July 6 edition of the Westminster Window and ornton-Northglenn Sentinel? I have never heard of such a weird situation in my 50-plus years of following politics!

While most communities have their “anti-city hall contenders”, this takes the cake. Assuming you read the article, we can tell the main character, Dariush Namazi, is certainly a politically motivated character. However, the whole buzz with his antics is attached to his pseudo name Danny Kulmann.

Is this coincidental with ornton Mayor’s name being Jan Kulmann or what? He says not. Anyway, he shows up at community events following the Mayor and her children around or should I say stalking them. ey are frightened to the point of the Mayor ling a restraining order.

Namazi aka Kulmann wears his red MAGA baseball cap and acts like the Mayor’s biggest supporter while pointing out her strong conservative viewpoints. e Mayor and other conservative council members accuse Julia Marvin, who is her opponent for mayor, of having Namazi working for her on the campaign trail.

Marvin denies any connection with Namazi. But what makes Namazi tick? My guess is he is freelancing on his

A part of this saga (I am suggesting it will carry on throughout the campaign) in part, shows the divide in the ornton City Council. ere is a lot of spite, accusatory remarks under council people’s breath and maneuvering by the Republican majority on Council to weaken the three liberal members.

Improved transparency is coming on campaign finance reports

One thing that has bugged me a long time is the existing schedule of required deadlines for candidates to le campaign nance reports for local government elections.

Currently in Westminster, the rst report is not due until October 17. To me, that is like being able to hide your contributors’ list and the dollar amounts until the ballots have already gone out. We need more timely trans-

parency in candidates divulging both revenues and expenditures sooner. anks to information from Westminster City Clerk Abby Finch, I learned that e ective next year there will be an improved schedule per state law. e new required reporting dates include ling 60 days, 30 days and 15 days BEFORE the election and 30 days AFTER the election. is is far more responsive when using mail-in ballots which are received in the homes in October.

So, for one more time we will play the waiting game to see the rst reports in mid-October. Also, municipalities can implement their own schedule if they prefer which I guess would be more time-sensitive that the new state schedule.

They proudly call themselves the B.O.B. from the 303, bringing the Big Easy up to high altitudes with their soul-gripping blend of music stylings with New Orleans jazz.

Known for its vibrant nightlife and colorful buildings is the French Quarter. e French Quarter is the heart of New Orleans, and jazz is its heartbeat.

Breathing life into Bourbon Street are the sounds of brass instruments and drums continuously owing out of numerous jazz clubs. With just a trumpet, clarinet, berry sax, alto sax, trombone, snare, bass drum and tuba, the Brothers of Brass are bringing that one and only soulful heartbeat to Colorado.

“It’s a cultural tradition that most of the country doesn’t have,” said Armando Lopez, a member of the Brothers of Brass.

e group’s repertoire is a simmering mix of slow and angsty tunes and fast-paced tempos with a kick of familiar melodies. e Brothers of Brass blend of other genres like R&B, hip hop and psychedelic jam rock into each set.

A day after a tornado hit Highlands Ranch in late June, the Brothers of Brass dished out a much-needed evening of fun for the community. Soon, everyone went from clapping

to full-out dancing, allowing concertgoers a chance to relax.

“It was nice to see so many kids, like, actually getting up out of their seats and the older people getting up and dancing and enjoying the music,” said Khalil Simon, who is originally from New Orleans. “It’s not so often that we get to play like New Orleans brass music for a crowd like this and appreciate it, that’s pretty unique.”

Not only did the band members interact with one another on stage throughout the night, they got the crowd involved by singing along and repeating after them. Although it was an outdoor concert, there was no excuse for the crowd not being loud enough.

Among some crowd favorites were “Just the Two of Us” by Grover Washington Jr., and “Lovely Day” by Bill Withers. And of course, they couldn’t call themselves a brass band without playing the beloved spiritual hymn “When the Saints Go Marching In.”

In true New Orleans fashion, each band member was called out to do a solo, each one emoting a di erent feeling.

As the music continued and the sun began to set, the crowd let the good times roll as more children and adults came to the front of the stage, dancing as if it were Mardi Gras.

Just when the sun went behind the buildings, the Brothers of Brass were kind enough to strap on their instruments for an encore, playing “Survivor” by Destiny’s Child.

nizing of the members’ voices encapsulated the feeling of the Crescent City.

“ ey say a lot with very little,” said Lopez. “When you play the horn, there’s a lot of emotional information in your tone quality — you can literally play one note and instantly captivate somebody and that is not always taught.”

When two street performers collide

Just like their voices, the members of the Brother of Brass is a blended group.

On the streets of Atlanta, Georgia in 2014, Simon and a couple of his friends were busking — playing music on a public street for voluntary donations.

When the groups of friends rst started playing, they were sharing horns until they had saved up enough money to get horns for each member. ey called themselves the Brothers of Brass.

e group quickly learned that busking at event egresses was a better way of making money, so they began playing with baseball egresses but expanded to playing outside of concerts and events that drew large crowds.

When baseball season came to a close, the group decided to travel across the country in search of other venues to perform.

Lopez continued to share his love for music after moving to Denver from Los Angeles. Having received a music education in jazz, Lopez brought that in uence into street music.

Once in Denver, Lopez played the saxophone on 16th Street Mall and, in 2013, Jake Herman joined in on drums and a small funk and jazz band ensemble was formed called Nimbus.

e group busked on 16th Street Mall, Boulder’s Pearl St. Mall and at e Denver Arts District’s rst Friday Art Walk, often including a rotating lineup of local musicians to play with them.

On a random day in April 2015, Lopez heard the deep bass of a tuba while playing on 16th Street Mall. He followed the sound to nd Simon playing the tuba. e two groups ended up playing together at the nearby Denver Center for the Performing Arts.

“ ey showed us a new way of playing,” said Lopez.

Until Simon moved to Denver in 2016, the two groups continued to collaborate whenever the Brothers of Brass were in Denver, eventually transforming into a full sized

brass-band and bringing the New Orleans culture to Colorado.

“You don’t really see a lot of actual brassbands outside of only there (New Orleans),” said Simon. “So I gured I’d bring it here and to see people receiving it so well, it feels so good.”

Social justice through music

With aspirations to become a nonpro t organization, the Brothers of Brass began the Black Brass Initiative a few years ago, calling it a “de facto” cultural exchange program between the deep south and the Denver metro area.

e inspiration of the initiative goes back to when Simon began to travel while busking the streets. e initiative is responsible for the housing, transportation and food of black musicians from Georgia, Alabama and Louisiana.

“It’s nice to spread that culture here in Colorado, it’s kind of why I moved here, cause eventually places like New Orleans are not gonna exist anymore due to climate change and that’s where all this stu [music] came from and it’s mostly only there right now,” said Simon.

e band has been using the wealth generated by performing to reinvest in the black

communities in the south, where these musical traditions originated.

As stated on their website: “ e hope is that bringing gems of this culture to e Colorado Front Range will create a pipeline for cultural and educational enrichment for both the people of Colorado and the lineage of these musicians.”

Looking toward the future

From performing at a Mardi Gras party at Meow Wolf to playing the Red Rocks Amphitheater, the Brothers of Brass have no intention of slowing down.

For the rest of the summer, the Brothers of Brass will be playing at various locations throughout the metro area, including Cly ord Still Museum’s Lawn Concert, History Colorado Museum and the Bluebird eater.

ey can also be heard on the streets of Denver as they liven up the crowds.

e band will be releasing an upcoming album and can be followed on social media.

“By making this music, I’ve gotten farther and seen more of the world and people than doing anything else,” Simon said.

Mudapalooza splashes back at Northglenn

Has anyone ever really not had fun playing in the mud? It’s not something most of us get to do very often, which makes the opportunity to splash around pretty rare. at could be part of the reason why Northglenn’s annual Mudapalooza volleyball event has become such big hit in the area.

“Nobody else really puts this kind of event on,” said Roman A. Ortega, recreation sports coordinator with Northglenn. “We started out with just eight to 12 teams and now we have so many return teams that love participating. I think the most teams we’ve had in one tournament is 63.”

e 15th annual Mudapalooza tournament will be held at Northwest Open Space, East 112th Avenue and Ranch Drive, from 8:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday, July 22.

Participating co-ed teams are made up of eight to 12 adults who will play at least three games of mud volleyball each. At the end of the day, the winning team will receive a trophy, some cool prizes and the glory of claiming victory.

“While the tournament is for adults only, as it winds down you see kids playing around in the pits that have emptied out,” Ortega said. “It’s such a fun event, especially when you see everyone out there playing. at’s what the day is about — having fun with a unique game that’s not played every day.”

e all-day event isn’t just a eld day for those in the pits — there will be a food truck, drinks and other vendors on hand to make the watching more delicious. All beer sales will bene t A Precious Child.

In all, the aim is to create an exciting summer’s day out.

“We love giving back and highlighting the sports community,” Ortega said. “When we play, it’s an opportunity to have a brief getaway from life. It’s a chance to get away from our daily routines and even do something a bit out of our comfort zone.”

MCA Denver explores Indigenous Absurdities ere are few better ways to connect with someone than to make them laugh. Even if that laugh stings a bit.

Anna Tsouhlarakis’ exhibition, Indigenous Absurdities, captures that humorous and incisive approach beautifully. On display at MCA Denver, 1485 Delgany St. in Denver,

through Sunday, Sept. 10, the show is focused on Indigenous knowledge systems and ways of teaching. Using a range of mediums, including video, performance, sculpture, photography and installation, the work “challenges and expands the boundaries of aesthetic and conceptual expectations for Native artmaking to reclaim and rewrite their de nitions,” according to provided information.

Pick your fighter — ‘Barbie’ or ‘Oppenheimer’

If you’re not keeping up with the lm community, you may not be aware that the weekend of July 21 is the biggest weekend of the year in 2023 — it’s the release day for Greta Gerwig’s “Barbie” and Christopher

Nolan’s “Oppenheimer”. It’s been built up as a kind of clash of the titans or cinephile’s Christmas, depending on who you ask, but either way, we’re getting two of the year’s most anticipated lms on the same day.

So, which will you see? And if you do a double feature, what is the proper order? Do you start your experience with the neon-pink fun and satire of “Barbie,” or the mindblowing visuals of “Oppenheimer”? ere’s no right answer, but I hope to see plenty of discussion about both options and the lms. So, head over to your local theater and I’ll see you at the movies.

In high country, spring showers mean summer flowers

BY ROBERT TANN SUMMIT DAILY NEWS

While Colorado’s Front Range is seeing the peak of wild ower bloom, the High Country is patiently waiting for its own.

A cold, wet winter and spring de ned by above-average snow and rainfall is likely to delay peak bloom by as much as two weeks. But it also means this summer will see even more color than last.

“It’s de nitely going to be, it already is, a very, very good wild ower year,” said Tyler Johnson, a U.S. Forest Service botanist for the Rocky Mountain region.

While expeditions in the High Country are likely to reveal earlyseason blooms, including lupines and yarrows, plants such as columbines, the iconic state ower, as well as paintbrushes and goldenrods are still dormant.

e region usually sees its wildower season begin to peak around the Fourth of July weekend, when

Summit and Eagle counties, have been as low as 30 degrees recently.

Over the next week, those temperatures are expected to be in the 40s, but Meier added, “We’re not seeing that warmth any time soon, at least not in the next seven to 10 days.”

Monsoon season, which generally brings consistent rainfall beginning in mid-July, appears to be delayed this year, Meier said. Trends in Arizona suggest heavy precipitation will arrive before the month’s end, but without the added moisture, temperatures are likely to remain cooler.  at’s not to say the state isn’t experiencing warmth. On the Western Slope where elevations are lower, nighttime temperatures in Grand Junction have reached 60 degrees. Still, that’s slightly below normal for this time of year, Meier said.

“As the summer progresses, the south face and lower-elevation slopes will bloom rst, in general,” Johnson said.

Johnson said he expects the High Country’s peak bloom to begin in one to two weeks. And while the snow and rain of the past months will help make a more vibrant scene, it’s the negative factors that can affect a wild ower season’s outcome more than the positives.

Drought, for example, can be a huge determinant of how well a bloom will perform. One dry summer can blunt a ower’s reproductive momentum for years, Johnson said, while consistent wet winters will ensure growth is steady.

According to June 29 data from

this winter and spring, there’s sort of a temporal delay there,” he said.

Unlike the annual owers seen in California, Nevada and Utah, Colorado’s wild owers are mostly perennials.

e key di erence, according to Johnson, is that annuals only grow for one season before producing a large amount of seeds while perennials regrow every spring. Because of this, annuals are more a ected by precipitation which can supercharge growth and lead to super blooms like those seen this spring and summer in California and other southwestern areas.

“In those deserts, it really is as simple as when it rains all winter, the owers are crazy,” Johnson said.

Perennials, on the other hand, typically have a shorter bloom season and are more impacted by several years of weather rather than a single season.

“ ere’s sort of legacy e ect from previous winters and previous summers,” Johnson said. “Just speaking for this winter, if all of those plants were fat and happy last summer, then they’ve got more resources to bloom again this spring. So it’s a multiyear legacy.”

As peak bloom approaches, Johnson said there are endless ways wild owers can be used to enhance the exploration of Colorado’s Rocky Mountain region. Much of that can be found in the sheer diversity of growth across the High Country.

Colorado’s wildflower is expected to be great but will also come later than usual because of the cooler, wet weather in the High Country.

Denver Iconics professional pickleball in full swing

BY JOHN RENFROW JRENFROW@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

You may have heard the pat-patpatting of a pickleball court in your neighborhood or local park. You may even play regularly yourself, or complain about the noise. However you feel, pickleball is being taken to the next level across the Front Range.

Enter the Denver Iconics. ey are the metro area’s new professional pickleball team, one of just six teams in the National Pickleball League (NPL). Just like any other pro team, the Iconics’ lineup is made up of imports: 18 players from several di erent states. Nine are men and nine are women. Other teams in the NPL include the Boca Raton Picklers from Florida, the Oklahoma City Punishers, and the Indy Drivers from Indianapolis. e league’s inaugural season is currently in full swing. Steamboat Springs residents Chris and Amanda Montgomery and Mario and Jen Boschi share a passion for the sport of pickleball, which led to their purchase of the team in March.

“Pickleball is growing rapidly, and this is a chance to be in on the ground oor in bringing team pickleball to the Champions Pro (ages 50 and older) scene,” said Chris Montgomery, who has played the

sport recreationally and in tournaments since 2014. “I’ve always dreamed of owning or being part of a sports team, and this is our opportunity. It is also important to me that we have a team in Colorado.”

Not only is pickleball growing rapidly, it’s the fastest-growing sport in the country. As reported by CNN, the number of people playing pickleball grew by more than 150% in three years to 8.9 million in 2022, according to the Sports & Fitness Industry Association.

Mario Boschi said it’s almost like “ e Curious Case of Benjamin Button.” e sport has grown out of interest from older audiences, and that interest has trickled down to younger players in recent years.

“I’ll go back 10 years,” Boschi said. “ e (average) age group was maybe 62. You go back ve years, it goes down to about 42. Now, the age group from a year or two years ago, you could be looking at anywhere between 28 to 35. Give it another couple years, you’re going to see this thing go down to anywhere between ages 20 to 25.”

Montgomery recalled the rst time he played. He was an avid basketball and racquetball player and missed being able to compete like he used to. A year after moving to Colorado from Austin in 2013, he said he just assumed racquetball

away.”

e youngest guy there, other than Montgomery, was 65.

“I jumped in with them anyway and they were like, ‘Oh, you’re the young guy!’ And I’m like, I’m 47,” he said. “Now, we go out there every day and there’s another group of people in their 20s and 30s trying it for the rst time.”

After that match, the rest was his-

it’s simply fun. He holds a Level II IPTPA (International Pickleball Teaching Professional Association) certi cation and teaches pickleball in Steamboat Springs and Denver. Boschi’s only been playing for about two years, after trying out the sport on a whim when invited by his friends.

Now, he’s hooked, and playing at a high level. But in the Champions Pro scene, that’s the only option, he said.

“ e level of competition, I have to say, is way better,” Boschi said. “I mean, it is 10 times better than the competition I played when I used to play in tournaments. Now you’re playing against the best of the best in the nation.”

e season runs through September, and will culminate in October with a championship weekend at the Chicken N Pickle indoor complex in Glendale, Arizona, with $100,000 in prize money on the line.

Pickleball is often played outside recreationally or casually. But the

“Even on the same hill or the same mountain … it can be a completely di erent plant community,” Johnson said.

“I actually really enjoy trying to gure out why certain plants grow in certain places. So it’s much more of an ecology view for me,” Johnson said. “Why is that plant really short on those goofy rocks, whereas there are tall

NPL holds indoor events to avoid the elements and ensure a proper schedule, considering the teams’ heavy travel load.

As for the Iconics, they are struggling so far this season. ey are currently sitting in last place with a 2-6 record, but with three di erent competitions left before the championship weekend, there is time to turn it around.

Pickleball combines elements of sports like tennis, ping pong, and badminton. e game can be played in solos, but the NPL teams, like the Iconics, play in doubles. e ball is volleyed back and forth until a point is scored or a fault is made.

Like the sports listed above, there are certain ways to hit the ball, certain amounts of bouncing allowed before and after hits, and out-ofbounds zones. e court is badmin-

ones just 20 feet away? Why are those plants so di erent?”

For an introductory book for identifying wild owers during an excursion, Johnson recommended “Plants of the Rocky Mountains,” by Linda Kershaw. For something more technical, Johnson advised the book “Flora of Colorado,” by Jennifer Acker eld.

He also said several apps, such as Leafsnap, are “remarkably accurate.”

Searching for wild owers, Johnson said, “does give you maybe a more complete experience to look at the land around you rather than having a

ton sized: 44 feet long and 20 feet wide. Pickleball is generally played to 11 points, and you must win by two points.

For a better breakdown of the speci c rules, visit www.usapickleball.org.

e team is working on gelling together, tweaking rotations and tier levels internally. Results have been slow at rst but promising.

“ e di erence is that it’s a team sport,” Boschi said. “Anyone that has played team sports will understand the concept. We are supporting everyone, and they are supporting us and coaching us and supporting us at the same time. Everyone is supporting everyone whether they’re on the court or o the court.”

Simply having a team representing Colorado is a big deal, Montgomery said, and will have a big

goal.

“Stop and look at a ower. Ask, ‘what do you see?’ What color are the owers? Are the leaves scratchy or are they smooth? Is it tall or is it short?” Johnson said. “You can really reinforce some basic observation skills into something that is tangible and real.”  And nding wild owers doesn’t have to be a strenuous activity. Johnson said ski resorts, many of which grant access to mountain peaks via gondolas, are great for wild ower viewing thanks to constant snow activity that moistens the terrain.

impact on the community.

“Long term, we want to build a team that people can rally around and have fun supporting,” Montgomery said. “People who come out to watch the Champions Pro play will be able to identify with the players and the game, while being impressed with the level or skill and quality of play.”

e next regular season competition will be held July 29-30 in the Dallas-Grand Prairie area. ere were no events in Colorado this season, but the Iconics owners are hopeful and excited about potentially bringing events to Denver next season.

“A lot of the more developed ski areas, Winter Park, Aspen, Vail, have a ton of summer activities and they’ve got a really well developed summer trail system,” Johnson said. “It’s a really easily accessible way to get a normal person to 9,000 feet, 10,000 feet, to see wild owers.”

Charles Barkley visits Arvada golf course for commercial shoot

BY JOHN RENFROW JRENFROW@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Golfers might see the occasional pro at the West Woods Golf Club in Arvada, but they’re not usually of the basketball variety. But addeus Wodark, a sta manager at the club, recently got a chance to meet one, and it happened to be his favorite athlete ever.

“I actually developed a friendship with my childhood idol,” Wodark said. “It’s still surreal to even talk about.”

at idol was, and is, former NBA star Charles Barkley, who on the course exchanged phone numbers with Wodark and, weeks later, even texted him congratulations when he got married. Barkley is simply “Chuck” to many of his fans, but Wodark can really claim a rst-name basis now.

“Chuck was in his prime when I was young, and he was my favorite basketball player,” Wodark said. “So much so, to the e ect that I had a guinea pig named Barkley. I mean, he was everything to me.”

It all happened last month when Barkley was in town to shoot a commercial for Microsoft Bing. Afterwards, Barkley took to the Cottonwood and Sleeping Indian courses at the club for 18 holes, with Wodark as a sort of course chau eur.

e 1993 MVP and television personality also took time to meet with fans, signing autographs and stopping for photos throughout the day.

Wodark, 38, wasn’t just with Bar-

kley. Also in the group was former NBA player Grant Hill and former football player and sportscaster Ahmad Rashad for the round at West Woods. Growing up idolizing Barkley for years, Wodark said he was as authentic as he appears on television.

“He couldn’t have been any better of a person. He couldn’t have been more real or more gracious. He was thanking me for my admiration towards him,” Wodark said. “It was an experience I will cherish for the rest of my life. It’s like I hit the lottery.”

e commercial shows Barkley in his usual self-deprecating and humorous way tapping into arti cial intelligence for help with his golf game. To view the full commercial, search “Charles Barkley Uses AI-Powered Search to Improve Golf Game” on Youtube.

Wodark and I sat down for a deeper Q&A about his experience that day.

Q. You said Charles was your favorite player growing up?

When he got traded to the Phoenix Suns, my parents bought me all the

decor for my whole room. I had one of those fake, plastic, Phoenix Suns lockers in the corner of my room, and it had Barkley’s name on it.

Q. Was meeting him everything you hoped it would be?

To get to meet him and share the better part of a day with him, was honestly one of the top three experiences of my life. I can’t even explain to you how profound it was. It was an experience for me that I will cherish for the rest of my life.

Q. What was your role in the event that day?

I essentially kind of chau eured them around our 18-hole course because you can kind of get lost on our course. It’s not very self-explanatory getting to the next hole, if you will. So I was there as kind of a liaison just to make sure they were getting around and getting their golf in and having a good time. ey were pretty much using me as a caddie, and it just couldn’t have been any better.

Q. How was Charles with the crowd and the community?

People were ocking out of their backyards and yelling, ‘Chuck! Charles! Hey!’ And he would say, ‘Okay, hang on a second.’ He did his shot, and then he would take his golf cart over to them, greet them, take a picture, or whatever, and then carry on his way. He did not deny a single person interaction. It’s just him. It’s unapologetic. He is who he is. He’s gracious for his spotlight and his fame and his fans. He gets it.

Je erson Academy star Runyon suprised with soccer honor

BY JOHN RENFROW JRENFROW@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

As she’s getting settled at the University of Tennessee, Kate Runyon takes time to re ect on her time at Je erson Academy and the accolades she earned both with her team and individually during her decorated high school career.

Runyon was recently named the Gatorade Colorado Girls Soccer Player of the Year, the second student athlete in the area to win the award in their sport, and the rst at the academy, located on the outskirts of Je erson County. Emma Stutzman of Pomona High School in Arvada recently took home Gatorade’s award in track and eld.  “To be completely honest, I had kind of forgotten it was a thing,” Runyon said. “I didn’t even know that I got nominated for it. My coach didn’t tell me until there were the nalists left. So I was very surprised and super honored. It was super

cool.”

Now, Runyon turns her attention to college, where she’ll be competing in Division I. Originally committed to Florida, Runyon ipped to Tennessee after a coaching change for the Gators. But faith told her Tennessee was the right answer.

“I really just felt like Tennessee was where God wanted me to be,” Runyon said. “A big part of my choice to come here was rooted in my faith. ey have student athlete faith ministries here, so that played a big role in it (as well).”

It doesn’t hurt that Tennessee also has premier facilities, a tight-knit group of teammates, and a style of play that Runyon is con dent she’ll succeed in. She’s looking forward to the college jump after dominating in high school.

Runyon led the Jaguars to an 18-2 record capped o by a Class 3A state championship. In the historic season, Runyon scored 30 goals and assisted on 14 more. She scored two

goals in the championship match.  e Class 3A Player of the Year, she was also a three-time First Team All-State selection, concluding her high school career with 68 goals and 34 assists, according to the Colorado High School Activities Association, or CHSAA.

Growing up in Westminster and the surrounding area her whole life, Runyon said she wasn’t worried about leaving home. In fact, she said she always knew she was going to leave.

“My family is the best family I could ever ask for,” she said. “ ey were super supportive of me chasing my dreams. My parents did a really good job preparing me, so I felt ready to leave when I left. But it was hard leaving all my friends and stu at home.”

She’ll miss the team practices, playing hide-and-seek in empty school buildings after hours with her teammates, and Je erson Academy in general.

It was the ideal place for her to thrive, she said.

“I mean, you talk about development of your student athletes, not only as a player, but as a person and a student,” she said. “I think our school does that very well. I was pushed academically, I was pushed athletically, and I was surrounded by people who constantly cared about me. So I would say the reason I won (this award) and my success this past season and throughout high school had a lot to do with the community. It’s a special place there.”

But she’s tunnel-focused on improving her game and ensuring she stays dominant at the next level. She wants to boost her soccer IQ, and take in knowledge from the college vets and coaches.

As she settles into campus, the work starts now. e rst match of the season is on the road against Alabama on Aug. 8, and Runyon wants to contribute immediately.

Q. As a basketball fan, having Grant Hill there too, what a bonus! It was just such an added bonus. Grant couldn’t have been any better either. When I was in elementary school, I’m not joking you, I wore an NBA basketball player’s jersey to school every day. I had Grant Hill’s Detroit Pistons jersey that was reversible, back when they had the teal green with the Piston on it. I told him about it, and he was like, ‘ at’s awesome.’ Halfway through the round, Grant was like, ‘I have tickets to Game 2 (of the NBA Finals). I’m going to give them to you. Get my number, send me your info.’ It was the morning of Game 2 and I got a text from his assistant. I had the tickets within ve minutes. e seats I got were going for about two grand a piece.

Q. How was Ahmad Rashad?

Ahmad was so cool. I grew up watching Ahmad Rashad on NBA Inside Stu . I know you did, too. He was talking about Michael Jordan’s course. I mean, he lives on the

HOMELESS

“ ose households are going to be at much greater risk of falling into housing insecurity,” Alderman emphasized. “And particularly homelessness, at a time when the Black and Native American populations are already disproportionately represented in the households experiencing homelessness.”

e National Low Income Housing Coalition report ranked Colorado the eighth least-a ordable state in the nation for housing. Alderman argued

Grove, Michael Jordan’s course. Ahmad Rashad is like, best friends with Michael Jordan. It was just nuts to listen to them talk and just be immersed in their lives for a few hours.

Q. What happened on the 11th hole that day?

We’re sitting on the fairway. He’s sitting in his cart, I’m sitting in mine. We’re waiting on the others, and he looks over at me and he’s like ‘Where’s your phone? Get your phone. Put my number in it. Send me a text.’ So I sent him a text, just thinking he’s being nice or whatever. But a day or two later, he sends me this thank you, just thanking us for showing him such a good time. And he thanked me again for my admiration for him.

Q. What a memory. You were about to get married later that month also, right?

Yes. I got married on the 23rd of June. So, I was only a couple weeks out from getting married. A few days after the event, he wished me the best for my wedding. To go even a step further, the next morning (after my wedding), I had a text from Chuck to congratulate me and my bride.

the best and most e cient use of tax dollars from HUD, Proposition 123 funding and other recent a ordable housing policies is to invest in solutions for the lowest income households with the greatest need.

“If we don’t stabilize those individuals, they will fall into the cycle of homelessness,” Alderman contended. “ ey will draw down more resources, because it is much more expensive to be in the cycle of homelessness than it is to stay stably housed.”

Public Notice

NOTICE OF INTENT TO UNDERTAKE CERTAIN ACTIONS

CHERRYLANE METROPOLITAN DISTRICT CITY OF THORNTON, COLORADO

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that Cherrylane Metropolitan District, a special district in the City of Thornton, Adams County, Colorado (the District”), intends to undertake certain actions pertaining to the issuance of debt. This notice is being given pursuant to Section 32-1-207(3)(b), Colorado Revised Statutes.

In general, the District intends to issue debt in one or more series for the purpose of refunding or refinancing its currently outstanding debt obligations (consisting of the Series 2018 Bonds described below) in order to reduce the debt mill levy required to service the District’s debt (the Proposed 2023 Loan”), notwithstanding any limitations in the District’s Service Plan approved by the City of Thornton on August 28, 2012 (the “Service Plan”).

The District’s current outstanding debt consists of its Limited Tax (Convertible to Unlimited Tax) General Obligation Bonds, Series 2018A, and its Subordinate Limited Tax General Obligation Bonds, Series 2018B (collectively, the “Series 2018 Bonds”) originally issued in the aggregate par amount of $3,764,000.

Section V.A.17 of the Service Plan provides, “Total Debt Issuance Limitation. The District shall not issue Debt in excess of Four Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($4,500,000).” It is not clear from this language if refunding outstanding debt counts against the Total Debt Issuance Limitation of $4,500,000, and therefore, the issuance of the Proposed 2023 Loan may or may not constitute a departure from the Service Plan.

In order to address any questions under the Service Plan, the District has determined to provide this notice pursuant to Section 32-1-207(3)(b), Colorado Revised Statues, prior to the issuance of the Proposed 2023 Loan.

Pursuant to Colorado law, any action to enjoin the above-described activities as a material departure from the Service Plan must be brought within forty-five (45) days from publication of this notice, which date is September 4, 2023.

This notice is dated July 20, 2023.
