Water rate compromise hopes fade

project, but landowner protest from landowners caused the planning commission to reverse its recommendation in 2020.

Residents’ complaints were also cited by commissioners as a reason for denying the permit at a hearing on May 5.

In addition to elevating landowners’ complaints, Weld County commissioners said the pipeline would negatively affect future growth and that it was inconsistent with a new county comprehensive plan, according to a Weld County board resolution dated June 3.

Some Weld County residents want Thornton to build its pipeline in the right-of-way, or literally underneath a county road, instead of on private land next to the road. Thornton has always wanted the opposite and since the beginning of the application process, has had support from Weld County staff.

Building in the right-of-way requires an easement from the county, while building outside of the right-ofway requires easements from private landowners. Going with the private land option, Thornton went out and

Even though Westminster City Council voted 5-1 against the city’s recommendations for 2022 water rates, the six-member council is split on fundamental ideas on which the city’s plan for utilities is based.

The even split on council over water rates has been publicly known for months, but councilors haven’t articulated the depths of their disagreements like they did at a June 21 study session. Instead of differing over percentages of water rate increases, councilors dispute the actual utilities infrastructure the city says the community needs.

The entire council, except for Mayor Anita Seitz, voted against the city’s recommendations to increase water rates in 2022 by 3.9 percent and sewer rates by 5.5. percent at a June 14 meeting.

However, at the June 21 study session, Seitz and Councilors Kathryn Skulley and Jon Voelz said they agree with the overall direction that the city’s utilities is headed. Mayor Pro Tem David DeMott and Councilors Lindsey Smith and Rich Seymour said the opposite.

The June 21 study session discussion was about alternatives to the recently rejected rate recommendations, but the conversation quickly became about deeper disagreements. DeMott said, “I’ve talked to enough people and been in this community long enough to know that some people who think that the prior administrations and the

Thornton overrides Weld water pipeline denial

BY LIAM ADAMS LADAMS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Thornton can start building a segment of a water pipeline in Weld County, even though the Weld County Board of Commissioners told the city “no” two months ago.

On Tuesday night, Thornton City Council unanimously approved a resolution that overrides Weld County’s denial of a permit to build a segment of the Thornton Water Project, and to authorize commencement of the pipeline’s construction.

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

“Thornton has followed all the processes, regulations required in every jurisdiction that our project impacts,” said Thornton Mayor Jan Kulmann at a June 29 meeting. “But at the end of the day, we have to use

every option that we can to make sure that the pipeline is constructed, and the water arrives here in Thornton.”

The council discussed the resolution very little before approving it at a June 29 meeting. Though council’s vote for approval was expected, Weld County residents who were at the meeting protested.

“You are sickening, unconscionable and disgraceful people of the lowest order serving your selfish interests only and disregarding the basic tenets of humanity and fairness,” said Rebecca Hicks to council during public comments.

“You and your sinister minions have destroyed lives and properties in your reprehensible land grab and unconscionable use of eminent domain in your at-risk schemes and tactics,” Hicks added.

With Fourth of July coming up, Hicks likened Thornton to the 18thcentury British Empire.

Weld County landowners were influential opponents of Thornton when the city went through the permit application process. In 2019, the Weld County Planning Commission recommended approval of the

Rocky Mountain Metro neighbors fear strategic plan BYLIAMADAMS LADAMS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Air traffic to and from the Rocky Mountain Metropolitan Airport already upsets residents in Westminster and other nearby areas. Proposed future development at the site would only make it worse, many neighbors believe.

At a June 21 meeting, people from Westminster, Broomfield, Superior, Louisville and unincorporated Boulder and Jefferson counties shared their opinions on a new airport strategic business plan. The plan directs and guides the construction of facilities across 200 acres within the next 20 years that can be used to solicit new investment opportunities.

The airport, which has a Broomfield address and is owned and operated

by Jefferson County, identified eight separate parcels for new development,

prior leadership did take care of the system and did plan ahead, question whether or not we need a plant. I have uncomfortable feelings about where we are even going in the direction.”

Westminster’s highest utility priority is replacing the Semper Water Treatment Facility, or what the city has dubbed Water2025. Originally, the city was considering recommending higher rates to council than the 3.9 percent

most of which are along the southwest quadrant near the Westminster border.

Potential future uses for the largest tracts include corporate, commercial, manufacturing, and general aviation, according to a presentation from Nick Johnson of Johnson Aviation, a consulting firm hired to develop the strategic business plan.

Existing operations are already problematic for neighbors, though. “I don’t think you need to expand it and here’s why. It’s already annoying as possible to sit outside for a conversation for breakfast lunch or dinner. I can hear the planes roaring around at 10:00 at night. I can hear them when I first get up in the morning,” said Chad Underwood, a Westminster resident, at the June 21 meeting.

Underwood said the noise problem has worsened over the last three years since he moved to the area. “It’s completely unbelievably hard to have

friends over, family over and be able to have a conversation in the back yard,” Underwood said.

Noise was the most common complaint that neighbors discussed at the June 21 meeting. People also raised concerns about environmental pollution from aircraft fuel.

Noise has been a longstanding issue with the airport, which has set up a noise complaint form and an FAQ page about noise on its website. There is also a community noise roundtable, which will review the strategic business plan at a July 12 meeting.

Other public commenters commended the airport for its noise mitigation efforts and said there should be a balance between airport operations and accommodating neighbors’ requests.

“Many of my neighbors view the strategic business plan to emotionally vent their frustrations with noise.

And I completely understand this as

I experienced the same frustration at times,” said Superior resident Brad Walker. “But the solution to economically strangle the airport by restricting development is not reasonable.”

Walker is also a pilot who uses the airport for personal and business reasons. He said the flight school at RMMA from which he rents planes is limiting the number of students it enrolls because it can’t keep up with the demand.

Walker said, “The vast majority of people that you are going to hear from today simply want restrictions on operations and that is unlawful as well as against regulations.”

Johnson said in his presentation that the future development will create more jobs, generate additional local tax revenue, and will meet Federal Aviation Administration objectives.

After the community noise roundtable meeting, airport staff will review a draft version of the plan in August.

and 5.5 percent increases to finance a longer list of capital improvement plan projects.

Council directed city staff to lower the recommendations, so staff deferred several CIP projects. The maneuver lowered the recommendations, but still enabled the city to generate enough revenue for Water2025.

Even though council rejected the 3.9 percent and 5.5 percent increases, the city is still set on meeting the same revenue projections. City Manager Don Tripp said at the study session, “I am working off the assumption that we have the revenue right.”

If councilors don’t agree on the revenue projections, Tripp said, “Our report to you is that the infrastructure investment will be reduced. I do believe that some of you believe that it wouldn’t be. That, in some way, we either don’t need that much infrastructure or there’s a different way to do it that would be less costly.”

In response, Seymour said that he thinks the city is overshooting its revenue projections, while DeMott and Smith just said they don’t agree with the projections. Then, DeMott and Smith called for a third-party audit of the city’s current utilities plan. Max Kirschbaum, public works and utilities director, defended that the plan has already been reviewed by, “a nationally recognized utility expert who assists approximately 25 percent of all of the utility providers in America in

performing that work.”

The idea of an audit felt unnecessary to Seitz and Skulley. Skulley said, “This is just taxpayer money that we continually use for things that we have already done and established, and I have resistance to doing that.”

The study session discussion concluded with little resolution. Tripp said he would reconvene with city staff to draft a presentation for council that would convince Seymour, Smith and DeMott about the revenue projections.

But Seitz wasn’t optimistic. “I feel quite frankly a little frustrated.

Because we have spent an inordinate amount of time going over this information multiple times,” the mayor said. “I don’t know if there will be some level of information that gets people to buy into it. That’s my concern.”

In last week’s issue of the Northglenn-Thornton Sentinel, Brighton Standard Blade and Westminster Window, a story titled ”North Metro survives pandemic in strong shape,” there was a mistake with two numbers related to the city of Northglenn’s year-end financial statements.

Northglenn’s revenue in the ”operating grants and contributions” category went up by $3 million, and its end-of-year net financial position increased by $13.7 million between 2019 and 2020.

Northglenn religious buffer zone moves forward Following years of protests at a mosque in town, a new ordinance creates a ”bubble” around houses of worship

BY LIAM ADAMS LADAMS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

With unanimous support from Northglenn City Council, a new ordinance places stricter limits on protests at religious institutions in town.

“I think that this is long overdue for our community, and anybody who wants to practice whatever religion they choose in this city should have the right to do so peacefully,” said Councilor Julie Duran Mullica at a June 28 meeting, right before council voted for a resolution to create a religious buffer zone.

The resolution passed on first reading and will need to be approved a second time before it is enacted.

The ordinance would prohibit a protester from handing out leaflets, displaying a sign, or engaging in oral protest within 100 feet of the entrance of a door to a religious facility. It also would prohibit protesting activities specifically within 8 feet of a person entering or exiting the religious facility without that person’s consent.

The ordinance would strengthen

previous laws that enable people to enter a religious facility unimpeded, said City Attorney Corey Hoffman at the June 28 meeting. At the same time, Hoffman added, “it is designed to balance the rights of the folks who still want to protest, potentially in front of a religious facility.”

The ordinance arose from an ongoing incident at Masjid Ikhlas, or the Metropolitan Denver North Islamic Center, in which a protester named Richard Roy Blake visited the mosque on and off for several years. Blake’s protests involved handing out leaflets and holding up signs in the mosque’s parking lot or on the walkway adjacent to the property.

In January 2019, Northglenn

police ticketed Blake for obstructing the walkway, and a municipal court jury convicted him shortly afterwards. Blake appealed the municipal court conviction in Adams County District Court, but Adams County District Court Judge Teri Vasquez upheld the conviction in a June 23 ruling.

Blake is suing the city in U.S. District Court and the mosque in Adams County District Court.

The religious buffer zone ordinance is directly a result of the situation at Masjid Ikhlas. Northglenn police have had to respond to protests at the mosque on several occasions. Hoffman didn’t mention Blake or the mosque by name at the June 28 meeting, but the city attor-

ney alluded to specific details with the case.

Instead of solely relying on the walkway obstruction ordinance, the religious buffer zone ordinance “makes it a little more direct of an offense if we have the same circumstance where we don’t have to see someone actually go into the street and cause themselves danger in order to get into the facility,” Hoffman o l said. p The ordinance is modeled after similar ones that limit protesting ac-w tivities at abortion centers. Various d courts have upheld similar legisla- s p tion, Hoffman said.

The city attorney added, “In terms of enforcement, I would character- f ize it as another tool in the toolbox.” w

Man arrested in Westminster after seven-hour barricade STAFF REPORT

After a seven-hour barricade, Westminster police arrested Kenneth Sargent on suspicion of firstdegree murder for stabbing someone June 26.

At 1:15 p.m., Westminster police responded to a report of a stabbing at 3957 W. 118th Place. When police

arrived, a male victim was lying on a porch, according to a department press release. Meanwhile, the suspect retreated into the residence.

Paramedics transported the victim to a hospital, where he later died of injuries.

When police received no response when they tried to communicate with the suspect inside the resi-

dence, the department called the SWAT team because the situation was then considered a barricade.

Police also issued a code red alert to advise area residents to shelter in place.

The barricade continued until 8 p.m. when the suspect surrendered.

There was no confrontation between the suspect and police.

the female suffering from a gunshot wound. Paramedics transported her to a local hospital, according to a press release.

As of July 1, Westminster Police Department spokeswoman Cheri Spottke declined to give an update on the female’s condition because

the investigation is still active.

Officers believe that two vehicles fled the scene before officers arrived.

One is a newer, blue Dodge Ram, and the other is a tan-and-gold fourdoor sedan. The second vehicle’s make isn’t known; neither are both vehicles’ license plates. Members of

the public are encouraged to contact the department if they see vehicles fitting the descriptions provided.

The department closed Lowell between 76th and 78th avenues for about an hour and a half Wednesday evening to investigate the crime scene.

especially farmers, whose land and crops are damaged by construction.

Weld County landowners were relieved when Weld County commissioners denied the permit, meaning they were beyond frustrated at the news that Thornton could simply reverse the denial.

“Never did we expect to have our land stolen by unscrupulous people who could by statutory loopholes destroy our rights to ownership,” Hicks said at the June 29 council meeting. City spokesman Todd Barnes confirmed that the city has

already reached an agreement with Hicks’ family to construct part of the pipeline on their farm, just south of Johnstown.

Kathy Zeiler Weinmeister, who spoke during public comments on behalf of Zeiler Farms Inc. in Weld County, said Thornton, “is choosing to pursue its timeline without regards to the real value of our land.”

A state statute allows Thornton to overrule Weld County’s denial because the city is financing and constructing the pipeline, not the

county.

Before the June 29 council meeting, Weld County negotiated terms with Thornton after the county recognized Thornton was able to override the denial. The terms still require the city to apply for road construction permits in areas where the pipeline crosses the street, to regularly communicate with county staff about the progress of construction, and to be diligent about dust management.

The city hasn’t said yet when it plans to break ground.

Remembering Officer Gordon Beesley

BY RYAN DUNN RDUNN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Officer Gordon Beesley was going through motorcycle training with the Arvada Police Department when he was asked to maneuver through an obstacle course, round a cone and return at speed as part of a test. Beesley completed the course, approached the cone and laid the motorcycle down to round the cone before the bike `high sided’ and sent him airborne.

Beesley landed “like a cat,” picked up his bike and finished the test “with a smile,” according to Dave Snelling, Beesley’s longtime colleague at the APD, where Beesley worked for 19 years.

“He’s just one of those amazing humans,” said Snelling. “You literally could not make him angry.

Every time you saw him, your day just got greater. The thing I love about Gordon the most - he was feet ‘2 inches, 6’3” - he referred to me as `Little Davey.’ And he was the only one I couldn’t get mad at for it.”

Beesley’s tenure with the APD - where he served as a school resource officer (SRO) at Oberon Middle School, Lincoln Academy and Excel Academy Charter School while working patrol in the summers - made him a visibly beloved figure in the community.

“You’ll have cops that grow their image around the badge,” said Snelling. “I think the badge grew an image around Gordon. And

Gordon humanized the badge. He had just as many friends outside the business as he did inside, but (being a police officer) wasn’t his identity when the uniform came off.

“He just liked the work,” Snelling continued. “Really, whenever he put that uniform on, you can’t help but see that there was a man behind that badge, not just a cop.

That made him a fantastic cop.”

Family man Outside of work, Beesley was known as a caring husband and father, avid mountain biker and talented drummer in local bands such as Brethren Fast, which draped an American flag adorned with the band’s name on the memorial outside of Arvada City Hall, and the Railbenders.

Patti Danford, the vice principal at Oberon Middle School, where Beesley most recently worked as an SRO, went to the Dark Horse in Boulder to see Beesley play with one of his bands.

“He was great,” said Danford. “It was so fun to see him in that environment. I took my husband and told him, That’s Officer Beesley,’ and he said, `Wait, that’s the police officer you work with?’ And I said, `Yes, that’s Gordon.’ I’m really glad I was able to go see him do that; something he really loved.”

The Railbenders said they were not in a place to discuss Beesley after his passing but called him “the nicest guy you could ever know.”

Cocaine bust nets long sentence for Thornton man STAFF REPORT

A Thornton man drew a 28-year prison sentence June 29 after his guilty plea to distribution of a controlled substance.

A press statement from the 17th Judicial District Attorney’s Office said investigators with the North Metro Drug Task Force arranged to buy two kilograms of cocaine from Mario Diaz-Miranda, 28, in Thornton. DA spokesman Chris Hopper said the purchase was made in a parking lot, and the arrest followed.

“Investigators found cocaine inside of Diaz-Miranda’s vehicle, and an additional 48 kilograms were located inside of a wall of an apartment associated with the defendant,” Hopper said in the press statement. “In total, $2.1 million worth of cocaine was seized as a result of this investigation.”

Diaz-Miranda’s sentence was 18 years in the Department of Correc-

tions plus three years of parole.

“This was an extraordinary amount of drugs to get off our streets” said District Attorney Brian Mason in the statement. “Drug traffickers pose a significant danger to this community, and we’re working tirelessly to combat them. I applaud the North Metro Task Force for their work on this case.”

The North Metro Drug Task Force is comprised of members from the following agencies: Adams County Sheriff’s Office, Westminster Police Department, Thornton Police Department, Commerce City Police Department, Broomfield Police Department, Brighton Police Department, Northglenn Police Department and the Federal Heights Police Department.

The task force performs largescale and long-term investigations designed to disrupt and dismantle narcotics trafficking organizations and their sources of supply, according to the statement.

Retailers bracing as Denver bag fee begins Implementation of law was delayed through 2020

2021 Education Awards

BY REBECCA SPIESS DENVERITE

Since July 1, Denverites have had three options at the grocery store: bring your own reused bag, go without one… or pay 10 cents for each one.

According to the city, Denver uses more than 100 million disposable bags every year, yet only 5 percent are ever recycled. The plastic bags are notoriously difficult to recycle and cannot be collected by the city in their purple recycling bins either. Paper bags are easier to recycle, but require a lot of resources to make.

So where will you see the fee?

All retail stores, including grocery stores, department stores, liquor stores and hardware stores. The exceptions include businesses where retail is not the main revenue generator, like beauty salons or restaurants. Temporary vendors, like farmers markets, won’t have to charge, either; and dispensaries are exempt because their little paper bags are too small to fall into this ordinance.

Retail stores will list the number nof bags and the resulting charge separately on their receipts.

A few more details The law was passed in 2019, but

implementation was delayed because nobody wanted to ask for even one more dime in 2020.

Bags that are provided within a store don’t carry a charge. For example, you won’t be required to pay for bags containing prescription medications, or for the small plastic bags in the produce aisles. If you buy flowers or potted plants, you also won’t be charged for the bag collecting water drips.

Individuals on federal food assistance programs such as SNAP or EBT will also be exempt from paying the fee.

What is the city going to do with their new dimes? Nothing exciting, really. Stores get to keep 40 percent to cover the cost of implementing the fee (which will likely include putting up new signage and training

employees). They can also use the money to provide free reusable bags to customers.

The other 60 percent goes back to the city which, it says, it will use to cover the program, hand out free disposable bags, create PSAs and maybe even fund community cleanups.

And to people who use disposable bags to collect their recycling, the city has a simple answer. Put your recyclables in your purple bins without them, loose. No one needs the bags at all, and they actually cause damage to recycling equipment.

ADVANCED METERING TECHNOLOGY IS ONE OF THE FASTEST WAYS TO SAVE WATER. Thornton is upgrading 25,000 residential water meters over the next two years that will be compatible with new water-smart, watersaving technology. Typically, the city replaces water meters on a regular basis as they age out. A water meter lasts, on average, about 17 years. If a residential water meter is due for replacement, a new meter will be installed by city staff and a door hanger will be placed on the door. For residents who don't receive a door hanger, don't worry, this means your meter is already compatible with newer technology.

Jason Montoya, Thornton Meter Superintendent says “When we replace the meters that need replacing due to age, we will install new ones that are compatible with Advanced Metering Technology, or AMI.” AMI technology allows water usage to be tracked hourly instead of monthly, which not only enables more immediate leak-detection, but also allows for more accurate data collection for future infrastructure planning.

Other customer advantages include: Water rates don’t increase due to meter upgrades. Thornton obtained a $1.5 million grant from the US Bureau of Reclamation to fund the purchase and installation of the meters.

There is no charge for meter replacement Residents do not need to be home for a replacement Residents do not need to schedule an appointment Water service will only be disrupted for a short time (less than an hour) during the replacement

VOICES Mr. President, don’t botch the infrastructure compromise

ust when the 10-member bipartisan U.S. Senate negotiating team regarding the $959 billion infrastructure package was about CROSS to break out the CURRENTS champagne and pat each other on the back, President Biden held a second news conference.

He blindsided members of both parties with his position of a “tandem” Bill Christopher passage of both the infrastructure compromise with his second major funding package.

The almost $6 trillion separate package includes childcare, Medicare and other investments. White House spokespeople say Biden had made it clear from the start that the

two packages were intertwined.

Republicans shouted “not so!” So, the hard-fought highways, broadband and transportation funding appeared to be crumbling with shouts of betrayal.

Alas, the president later walked back his initial comments and clarified that the funding pieces would be treated separately.

Streets and bridges funding is sorely needed Whether the president had made it clear about his tandem approach or not, it was obvious that Senate leader Mitch McConnell and other Republican senators would have no part of combining the two-funding effort - let alone approving them.

While Mr. Biden is no stranger to U.S. Senate politics, he was foolish to jeopardize a fair deal on infrastructure funding.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Vote them out Why are the supporters of high water rates in Westminster, by their public comments, so suspicious, conspiracy thinking and angry that they refuse to consider that supporters of lower water rates might be motivated by an honest desire to enable nearly all Westminster residents to afford to care for their landscapes?

Debbie Teter and the authors of the recall have told them that. Bill Christopher has told them that. The demographics of roughly equal multi-partisan signers indicate that.

Jon Voelz is being recalled because of his failure to support lower water rates. It is ironic that Jon Volez could have listened to the people of Westminster, joined with DeMott, Seymour and Smith and lowered water rates in May and made the recall moot. He could have resigned, like Mayor Atchison, and avoided the cost of the recall. If the city clerk had not “erred,” we could have had the recall/special election in January or February.

Broomfield sells water for $3.36, all you want and maintains a great system. Fort Collins does it for a top of $3.75. Even Denver can run the largest, oldest and most sophisticated system in Colorado for a top rate of $5.74. It cost less to water the side of a road in Westminster than for a resident to water his landscape.

The supporters of high water rates in Westminster are the side motivated by politics. Vote them out.

Now, the question becomes, will progressive Democrats stay with him and support the separate infrastructure package? Perhaps he was playing to progressives and was able to say “I tried to tie the two packages together.”

Funding is sorely needed across America at both state and local levels. Just drive the streets, arterials and bridges in Federal Heights, Northglenn, Thornton, Westminster and unincorporated Adams County.

For comparison sake, Westminster public works staff had said that the city is spending approximately $4 million per year on street work when $10 million per year is actually needed. Feel your shock absorbers working overtime? It is plain as day.

What is “Plan B,” if needed?

With acknowledgements from city of Thornton officials going back

to last November and again in late May of this year that future development is dependent on Cache la Poudre River water being delivered to Thornton, developers and citizens have to wonder will there be sufficient water for future development?

Currently, they say the city has enough unencumbered water resources for 5,000 additional housing units or a total population of 160,000. Their long-term vision is to have the water resources to serve a city of 260,000 by 2065.

What are the chances that the 72mile pipeline through Larimer and Weld counties will ever be totally built? If it isn’t built, what is Plan B? For more than three decades, city officials and water planners have assumed that they would be able to deliver the raw water purchased SEE CHRISTOPHER, P11

Who you calling belligerent and quick to take offense?

M

y friend, Mark, and his girlfriend, Deborah, have tickets for a vacation in Hawaii. Sounds great.

But the timing QUIET isn’t.

DESPERATION The tickets were a gift, he told me, and arrangements began before all of the traveling restrictions were put into place.

They’ve both been vaccinated ... but they have had to be Craig Marshall COVID-19 tested.

“Then we have to Smith download a PDF of the results to a site, fill out another health and safety form, and make photocopies of the documents.”

Their carrier, Southwest, is having some problems.

I remember the good old days when I’d hang around the railyards with my guitar and wait for an open freight car to come along. I’d jump on board and sing Woody Guthrie songs from here to Chi-town.

Well, maybe not.

But I do remember when I could drive to Stapleton, buy a ticket, and board a plane without being scanned, groped, sniffed, scrutinized or disrobed.

Air travel isn’t what it used to be and isn’t what it used to be two years ago.

Now there’s a good chance a passenger will decide he or she wants

to beat up a flight attendant.

Theories abound.

These aerial skirmishes are a direct consequence of a period in American history when individuals, long thought to be willing to cooperate and act like adults, are now shedding that illusion and reverting to primordial behavior on flights, at NBA games and in fast food restaurants.

A recent incident at an Ohio McDonald’s devolved into an argument when a customer became irate and went berserk because an employee would not mix flavors of a slushy drink together.

The customer now faces assault charges.

Is it safe to leave your home?

Probably not, but what other choice do we have?

In the case of air travel: none. Unless you have your own jet or access to one.

What has become of us?

Something I began noticing in the mid-1990s led to an earlier retirement than I planned.

Disrespect in the classroom.

Students were more adversarial than ever, confrontational, and disputatious.

I was threatened and stalked.

There were no physical altercations, just verbal disputes that were out in the open.

Many led to grievances and hearings. The students who didn’t drop out were asked to leave.

Over what? Not always but most

often: grades.

Grades replaced learning as the primary focus of many college students.

There was a time when grade disputes were addressed during office hours. Then they wicked into the classroom.

Now it seems disagreements with authority, rules and regulations — reasonable ones too — have popped up in places where there didn’t exist before.

The Ohio woman went behind the counter, struck and injured two female McDonald’s employees.

At least the other customers could leave if they wanted to.

If the nutcake on Southwest 409 loses his grip, he’s performing to a captive audience.

“How was your flight, dear?”

“Oh, nothing out of ordinary.

We were diverted to Albuquerque because of an unruly passenger. Everyone had to deplane. The man was taken into custody. We reboarded two hours later. No big deal. Business as usual.”

“That’s nice, honey.”

Mark is a noted local wit. Hawaii has something to look forward to. I told him to take along a big supply of Hawaiian punch lines. Get it?

Hawaiian punch.

Do they still make that stuff?

CHRISTOPHER FROM PAGE 10

in the 1980s from the Poudre River when it would be needed.

Options to consider One option would be to agree with the two counties suggestion of delivering the water down the river.

Thornton points out that the water quality is reduced by wastewater treatment discharges along the way.

Plus, the city contends that it paid for the higher water quality based on the price paid at the time.

Another possibility would be to alter the alignment of the pipeline and the required easements to install the pipeline. While the pipeline would still be in the two respective counties, perhaps Thornton and the counties can come to a “meeting of the minds” on a different configuration.

The other obvious option is to fight the matter in court with both counties to whatever appellate court levels are necessary. However, the clock is ticking.

City Council can override Weld County Then, a new option sprung forth.

In the case of the Weld County

process, the city applied for a Use

by Special Review Permit, and the board of county commissioners subsequently denied it May 5. However, under Colorado state statutes, there is a proviso that the authorizing jurisdiction that has authorization and financing of the pipeline - Thornton City Council in this case - can overrule the commissioners’ disapproval of the permit.

On June 29, the Thornton City Council took action to accomplish the overruling action. While this action would resolve the pipeline segment in Weld County, the same action would not apply in Larimer County.

Thus, it would seem that Thornton officials are back to one of the options mentioned above for a portion of the pipeline. “The beat goes on!”

Think about it If the city of Thornton is unable to use their Poudre River water rights, it would have a gigantic negative impact on both Thornton and Adams County.

The economic impact alone would be in the billions of dollars. The loss of the housing opportunities would cause a shift in housing development patterns in the northern metro area. More pressure would be shifted to Commerce City, Broom-

field and outer ring suburbs such as Firestone, Fredrick, Erie and the unincorporated areas of Adams and Weld counties.

Furthermore, the long-time plans of affected school districts on both planned gains and unexpected increased student populations from the housing shifts would upset financial projections.

Obvious property tax and sales/ use tax revenues would be significantly impacted for Thornton and, to a lesser extent, in Adams County.

Hopefully, either the city will win in court to be able to move forward on installing the pipeline or some alternative can be successfully negotiated with Larimer County commissioners.

Recall ballots in the mail For Westminster voters, ballots pertaining to the recall of council member Jon Voelz should have arrived in your mailboxes. The election is July 20. Given the strong feelings on both sides of the issues, voters are encouraged to vote their position.

Outdoor tasting events coming Hey everyone, with the COVID-19 virus in serious decline in Colorado, it is time to plan a fun outdoor tasting event.

The Westminster Legacy Foundation and CRAFTED Beer, Wine and Spirits of Westminster are co-sponsoring two adult beverage outdoor tasting events with gourmet appetizers, a silent auction and live music.

Mark your calendars for Saturday, July 17, and Saturday, Aug. 21, from 7-9 p.m. Both events will be at the outdoor pavilion/green space at the Westminster’s New Downtown. Wine, micro brews and spirits tastings will be available to your delight.

A total of 100 tickets are available at $50 each for each event at CRAFTED Beer and Wine, 4257 Main St., in Westminster’s Bradburn Village and on the foundation’s website for $55 each at Westyfoundation.org.

The two events will fund critical operating support and help close funding gaps in our community in the areas of basic needs, conservation and arts and culture. Besides enjoying the evening outdoors, you will have an opportunity to get a closer view of Westminster’s new downtown.

Rounding up the cycling trails

Cyclists pass each other on the Clear Creek Trail.

If you’re new to the area, or just want to branch out, here’s a must-try list of some of the best rides around

BY BOB WOOLEY BWOOLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

’T

is the season for twowheeled adventure.

Lucy Hanna said she’s just visiting but couldn’t wait to hop on a bike — a loaner from her niece Claire — and check out the Clear Creek Trail.

“You have some beautiful trails out here,” she said. “This is the second time I’ve checked out a new ride since I’ve been here.”

She said it’s nothing like her rides back home in Louisiana.

“You can’t even really think

about it (cycling) this time of year.

The humidity is just … I don’t know … oppressive,” she said.

Those of us lucky enough to call the metro area home have miles of trails to choose from. Throw in some of the lowest relative humidity in the nation and summer can be a downright pleasant time to go riding.

That said, here’s a list of some of the most popular places to get back on the bike and enjoy the fleeting summer months while you can.

Bear Creek Bike Trail You can pick up the trail near

US 285 and River Point Parkway.

There are parking lots near the South Platte, where the Mary Carter Greenway Trail and Platte River Trail meet.

The trail, running alongside the Bear Creek corridor pretty closely, offers stunning views of the western foothills as you make your way through Bear Valley, Bear Creek Lake Park and ultimately into Morrison.

According to reviews on TrailLink.com, the Bear Creek Trail is a relatively flat, easy ride that can be enjoyed by cyclists of all abilities.

On the west side of the trail, you

can find parking along Morrison Road or one of the parking lots in downtown Morrison.

High Line Canal Trail Starting in Aurora and ending some 71 miles away in Roxborough Park, the High Line Canal Trail runs through the metro area’s southern suburbs. Along the way, you’ll go through Goldsmith Gulch, deKoevend Park and Horseshoe Park just to name a few, before the trail ends near Platte Canyon Reservoir.

Celebrating a Denver story at Miners Alley COMING ATTRACTIONS

Clarke Reader

here was never any doubt that Miners Alley Playhouse in Golden was going to make returning to live theater a big deal. Over the last 18 months plus, the theater has invested in giving audiences the best experience possible via video. But nothing beats the real thing.

“I’ve been looking forward to that everynight experience of being in the theater and feeling the back-and-forth energy of art and storytelling,” said Len Matheo, Miners Alley’s artistic and executive director. “I knew that when we came back, I wanted us to be back with our best work. And this play is what live theater is all about.”

The play he’s talking about is “The Treasurer,” written by Denver playwright Max Posner, and directed by critic and local director John Moore. The show runs from Friday, July 16 through Saturday, Aug. 7 at the theater, 1224 Washington Ave. in Golden.

Performances are at 7:30 p.m. on Friday and Saturday, but there is also a video version for those who prefer staying home. Pricing is on a “Pay it Forward” model, which means audiences can pay nothing or up to $100, and as such, pay for others’ tickets.

“It’s a Denver play written by a Denver playwright, so when I saw the world premiere in New York City, I made a commitment to Max that I’d ensure that someone did it in Denver,” Moore said. “When I took it to Len, I was so happy he was able to do it.

It’s such a meaty and meaningful play.”

Featuring Augustus “Augie” Truhn, Billie McBride, Jasmine Jackson and Peter Trinh, the show is described by Moore as a “bike ride to hell,” that centers on the strained relationship between a mother and son. Told with propulsive force and featuring characters in different states, the show is a wildly different animal than many audiences will

be familiar with.

“It’s a serious play, but there’s a lot of humor in it. Audiences will be laughing out loud and have these moments of recognition,” Matheo said. “We’re coming out of a hard time, and I think a lot of people will need some catharsis.”

For Moore, the show is not only an opportunity to work with a dream cast, but also to work with a script that he describes as “a banquet of words.” He said it’s been joyful but also intimidating to bring the show to life, and hopes that audiences find in it something that really connects with them.

“I’ve always been an advocate for the power of live theater to change lives,” he said. “We learned through the pandemic that there’s no replacement for actually being there. Every time an audience gathSEE READER, P13

From the Waterton Canyon Trailhead parking lot, it’s just a short distance to the High Line Canal Trailhead.

Starting from points east, consult a trail map and follow municipal parking regulations.

Clear Creek Trail From Thornton to Golden, this 20-mile trail has a bit of everything. A slight incline that tops out at just over 5,800 feet adds to the challenge, but the scenery is said by TrailLink reviewers, to be worth the effort. Included in the ride are views of North and South Table Mountain, thrown in for free. You’ll cut through a good chunk of Wheat Ridge and make your way between Prospect, Tabor and West lakes as you head toward I-70.

Historic Golden vibes abound as you cross Ford Street on your way to the trail’s end near Clear Creek Canyon Road, just east of Indian Gulch.

Temporary construction closures at the Clear Creek Parking Lot in Golden may make it necessary to start your ride on the westside, nearer to one of the Golden municipal lots or parking spaces a bit east of the trailhead.

Cherry Creek Trail On the southeast side of town, the Cherry Creek Trail gives cyclists the opportunity to ride from Cherry Creek Reservoir to Downtown Denver.

At around 20-miles-long, the trail takes riders through some of the coolest urban areas in the city. Starting your ride near Confluence Park in Lodo, you’ll make your way along Cherry Creek as it ambles toward the southeastern suburbs, cutting through Glendale and Virginia Vil-

For the super adventurous, the trail continues all the way to the small, rural, Franktown — another 20 miles south.

There are several rest stops along the route, with restrooms for those in need. And due to the proximity to the city center, it’s not unheard of to see inline skaters, folks on scooters or even e-bikes moving pretty fast, so be aware.

Lewis said he’s ridden most of the trails the city has to offer. He said he’s partial to the South Platte River Trail himself, but said for people just starting out, or those looking for a nice ride with a lot less distance involved, a lap or two around Sloan’s Lake or Washington Park is hardly ever a bad idea.

“There’s such a great cycling community here,” he said. “Almost everywhere you go, you’ll find people who just love to be out there (cycling).”

Clarke’s Concert of the Week — Rachel and Vilray at the Boulder Theater Getting a vintage sound right is a tricky thing, but Rachel Price (lead singer of Lake Street Dive) and Vilray get it exactly the right. On their first album, the duo perfectly captures the early doo-wop and folk sounds that were percolating in the 1930s through 1950s.

Rachel and Vilray will be performing together at 8 p.m. on Sunday, July 11 at the Boulder Theater, 2032 14th St. in Boulder.

They’ll be joined by Taylor Ashton, a folkrocker from Vancouver, British Columbia who has performed with Price before. Get tickets at axs.com.

Westminster’s Hatz heads to Japan for Paralympics

BY STEVE SMITH SSMITH@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Beatriz Hatz

COURTESY PHOTO

Beatriz Hatz has a full summer ahead of her.

The Westminster resident continues to train in the 100-meter dash, the 200-meters and the long jump because it’s part of her routine.

There’s also this. She qualified for the Paralympics in Tokyo Aug. 24 through Sept. 5.

“Trials were in Minneapolis June 17 to 19,” she said. “To qualify for the team, you had to hit a certain percentage of your standard in that particular event. For example, my 100-meter A standard was 12.9 seconds, and I ran 12.86, meaning I had more than 100 percent of the A standard.”

Hatz, who is 20 and a 2019 graduate of D’Evelyn Junior/Senior High School, was born without a fibula in her right leg.

Doctors amputated the leg below the knee.

“My two younger brothers (John and Ryan) always did sports growing up.

And because I’m so competitive, I did the sports they did,” Hatz said. That list of sports included softball, basketball, soccer, karate and skiing.

“When Ryan did basketball, I had to try basketball,” she said. “When Buddy did baseball, I tried softball, etc.”

She tried other sports, too. Hatz is the American record holder in the long jump at 18.7 feet.

“I used to do softball, basketball, skiing, snowboarding, CrossFit and even karate before trying track,” Hatz said. “I only joined track because of a friend who made a bet with me my freshman year of who could make a varsity meet first. I was the first of my friend group to go to a varsity meet and since then, I stuck with it.”

Like other athletes, Hatz had to do without events because of COVID until this past April.

“My coaches did a good job of keeping me interested,” she said. “We had tried different workouts on the track and in the gym, so it wasn’t always the same stuff. It was difficult at times because meets were not happening, so I couldn’t tell where I was at compared to my competition. But

training with the able-bodied professional heptathletes helped me so much.

“Getting to chase them in all my workouts and getting destroyed by them on the track every day pushed me to work harder and to try to catch up to them even more,” she continued. Working and getting better with them just meant that I would be getting prepared to do amazing things against my competitors in the Paralympics.

“Why train with people like me when I can train and get my butt whooped by people better than me?”

Hatz gets a lot of support from her family.

I am very, very close with my family, so their support means everything to me,” she said. “They always remind me that I am going to do big things, and their faith in me gives me an incredible amount of confidence.”

Hatz called herself “very stubborn” when it comes to sports.

“So, competing in sports gives me a way to show everyone that I can do everything anyone else can do,” she said. “I have always hated pity, and when people doubted my abilities, it gave me an excuse to show them up.”

Hatz isn’t sure when she’s leaving for Japan. She is sure she won’t be able to see much of the country.

“I am excited to be able to represent the United States on such a large platform,” she said. “This will be the biggest moment of my life so far, and I’m excited to show the world what I can do. Unfortunately, we will not get the opportunity to sightsee because of COVIC protocols.

She finished fifth in the 200-meters in the 2019 world championships and eighth in the 100-meters. Hatz enjoys drawing painting, snowboarding and drawing.

“I’m extremely grateful to be working with my coach, Kris Mack,” she said. “Switching to Coach Mack and his training group was the best decision I ever made, and I am proud to be his first Paralympian. I’m grateful to be able to train with the best athletes (Annie Kunz, Riley Cooks, Erica Bougard and Harrison Williams.”

Yes to limited education perks for college athletes Local athletes say decision opens gates for pay to play

BY STEVE SMITH SSMITH@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

There are a couple of schools of thought when it comes to the recent Supreme Court decision that extend benefits to student-athletes as part of their scholarships. such as computers.

The decision was 9-0. Last week, the NCAA approved compensation for athletes’ use of images, names and likeness. Last month’s court ruling does not allow students to receive money for playing college sports. But some local college athletes think that day is coming.

“I honestly do believe college athletes should get paid,” said Fort Lupton High School alumnus

Antonio Marquez, who runs track and cross country at Western State Colorado University in Gunnison.

“If you look at the stats of where college makes most of their money outside of registering students, it’s from athletics. You can see colleges with bigger stadiums, then some NFL ones now, and it’s just crazy because they have the same media, equipment, and fans as a professional team. But they just don’t get paid.”

Former Frederick football player Blake Duran agreed with the court’s findings.

“Student athletes live very busy lives with practice and school. We don’t have the time to worry about jobs or getting paid somehow because we are so busy,” said Duran, who is playing football at Dakota University in Madison, South Dakota. “With most kids living off campus in apartments, it makes it

a lot harder to have to pay for all of that. But with the Supreme Court’s ruling, it will change a lot, and I think it is good.

“I believe in change,” Marquez said. “I would be planning to take advantage of it. I believe they should be paid and (the court’s 9-0 decision) could definitely open the door to further conversations about the topic.”

“I do plan on taking advantage of this because as a student-athlete, I can use all the help I can,” Duran said. “I think college athletes should get to have paid endorsements if they would like them. Endorsements are a great way for athletes to get their name out there and establish themselves for the pros off the field or court. I think this decision will open many doors that will overall help the student athletes a ton. All in all, I couldn’t be happier with their decision.”

Olympics will feature debut of climbing Sport popular in Colorado could see effect of worldwide publicity

BY JOHN MARSHALL ASSOCIATED PRESS

Climbing’s standing as a niche sport has always been a part of its appeal.

A rock wall can be a place of solitude or of camaraderie with a small group of fellow climbers. There are no crowds, just the peacefulness of the outdoors and the task of trying to find the best route to the top.

The climbing world could be in for a change after the Tokyo Olympics.

Climbing is an Olympic sport for the first time, and the spotlight will introduce a massive audience to what can be a lonely pursuit.

“For the most part, people were psyched,” American Olympic climber Nathaniel Coleman said.

“They knew the sport would get more attention, a lot more inflow of money and kind of be recognized as the high-quality sport that it is.”

The Olympics will be hosted July 23 through Aug. 8.

The inaugural climbing competition will include three disciplines: lead, bouldering and speed.

Lead is similar to what climbers encounter when scaling rock

faces outdoors. Climbers have six minutes to climb a wall of about 15 meters with a variety of holds.

Whoever climbs highest wins.

Ties are broken by time.

In Bouldering, climbers have four minutes to complete each of four “problems” on 4.5-meter walls. The problems include overhangs, wedges and holds barely big enough to hold a fingertip. Some problems involve a “dyno” — jumping in a dynamic movement to the next hold — and occasionally going upside down is the best way up.

Climbers get as many attempts as they want within the time limit and receive credit for completing a boulder by securing the top hold with both hands in a controlled manner. There are also zone holds midway up the wall where climbers can earn partial credit.

Speed climbing is a much more specialized discipline, the climbers racing head to head up a 15-meter wall with standardized holds.

The inclusion of the speed discipline did not sit well within the climbing community.

The Tokyo Games will have two medalists — one for each gender — and the International Olympic Committee wanted to show a range of climbing skills, so it included speed in the overall competition.

Lead climbing and bouldering are more in line with what climb-

The 22-year-old from Slovenia has won six world championships and is the only climber to go through an undefeated World Cup season, winning six events in 2019. She excels in lead and bouldering.

The United States joined France and host Japan as the only countries to qualify a full team of four climbers.

Nathaniel Coleman is sort of the de facto captain of the U.S. team, a laid-back climber who leads by example. The 24-year-old from Salt Lake City is considered one of the best American boulderers, but has evolved into a super all-around climber.

Collin Duffy will be one of the youngest athletes at the Tokyo Olympics. The 17-year-old Coloradan from Broomfield is an adept problem solver — he loves puzzles — and qualified for the Olympics as a sophomore in high school.

Duffy grew up climbing with Brooke Raboutou and now the two friends will be going to Tokyo together. The 20-year-old from Boulder comes from a climbing family and has become adept at all three disciplines.

Kyra Condie had 10 vertebrae fused together when she was 13 to correct scoliosis and has become one of the best climbers in the world. The 25-year-old from Shoreview, Minnesota, does not have the same mobility as other climbers, but makes up for it with problem solving.

ers face outdoors. Speed, not so much. As one climber put it, adding speed is like asking a distance runner to compete in a sprint event.

Speed will be a separate medal event at the 2024 Paris Games.

“Speed climbing is very, very different from the other two disciplines,” said Meg Coyne, national team manager and assistant coach at USA Climbing. “First of all, it’s rehearsed. Second, all of the mannerisms, habits and techniques are effectively reversed. For athletes to do well on speed, they need to train for something that’s totally outside the habits they have for the other disciplines.”

Scoring is determined by multiplying each climber’s placement in the three disciplines. Lowest score wins.

If a climber is first in lead, second in bouldering and 10th in speed, their score would be 20 (1X2X10=20). Winning a discipline will put a climber in good position to contend for a medal.

Adam Ondra has been called the world’s best climber and has tackled some of the most difficult outdoor routes around the globe.

The wiry 28-year-old Czech known for screaming on the wall is not as strong in speed climbing, but is a threat to win both lead and bouldering.

Like Ondra, Janja Garnbret has completed outdoor routes most climbers wouldn’t even consider attempting.
