A ‘Lost Boy of Sudan’ returns to north Denver

Arok Garang said cuts to USAID immediately hurt supplies to the refugees

MONTE@COTLN.ORG

Cuts to a key international aid program by the Trump administration hit the Seeds of South Sudan education e ort quickly and hard, said founder Arok uch Garang.

e cuts were immediately felt in the Kakuma Refugee Camp in Kenya, where orphans rescued by Seeds of South Sudan subsist and struggle for a better life, said Garang, one of the original Lost Boys of Sudan.

e USAID organization provided basic needs such as food and medical supplies for the 250,000 who crowded into Kakuma, said Garang, a former Westminster Schools employee.

“ ere wasn’t anything or anybody not a ected by cuts,”

he said. “Now there is a daily scramble, a daily competition for rations.”

Yet, the young orphans still yearn for an education, which Seeds works to provide through donations, mostly from Americans, Garang said. “We try and help them as much as we can. ey (the orphans) want a bright future.”’

Kakuma orphans are selected to attend boarding schools in Kenya for their education. e students received three meals a day, medical care and an education, Garang said. Since the founding of Seeds of South Sudan in 2009, sponsors in the United States have helped educate 187 orphans, Garang said.

82 have graduated from high school and 24 are in college in Kenya, said Peggy Gonder,

a spokeswoman for Seeds of South Sudan. Five have earned scholarships to universities in Canada.

Fleeing across Africa

Garang’s journey is one of harrowing survival. He said his family herded cattle peacefully in South Sudan until 1989 when oil was discovered on the land, and the Arab Muslim militia from Khartoum declared jihad against southern Christians and traditional believers. e militia set re to his village, and he ed Sudan at age seven. He said he survived with the aid of a 10-year-old cousin as they traveled 1,000 miles to Ethiopia. ey had to ee Ethiopia 18 months later due to war and many died swimming across a crocodile- lled river. It took him and his cousin

a year to walk to the Kakuma refugee camp in Kenya, “a brutally hot and dangerous place,” Garang said on the Seeds of South Sudan website.

Garang said he spent nearly 10 years in the Kakuma refugee camp before coming to Denver in 2001 with the help of the United Nations. He then earned a degree in economics at the University of ColoradoDenver.

He eventually returned to South Sudan to help his people answer God’s calling, he said. “ roughout the years, I’ve heard God calling me to rebuild my village by educating, equipping, and empowering the South Sudanese children who survived the genocide,” Garang has said.

Chevron accused of violations in Weld well ‘blowout’

Families remain displaced after ‘unprecedented’ incident near Galeton

BY CHASE WOODRUFF NEWSLINE COLORADO

Colorado regulators on ursday launched an enforcement action against oil giant Chevron for an April well “blowout” that caused evacuations and closures in a community in eastern Weld County.

O cials with the Energy and Carbon Management Commission said ursday that some residents remain displaced from their homes in tiny Galeton, an unincorporated town of 250 people located about 10 miles northeast of Greeley, nearly three months after the incident at Chevron’s Bishop well pad.

e well failure caused a highpressure ow of oil, gas and water to spew from the site for ve days before emergency crews were able to bring it under control. With millions of gallons of uid released, it’s believed to be one of the largest oil and gas spills in state history, and the resulting plume spread dangerous levels of toxic chemicals as far as two miles away, according to data from Colorado State University researchers.

“I can say with certainty that this is signi cant and unprecedented during my tenure, not just in terms of volumes released … but in terms of complexity, in terms of scale of impact to environmental services, as well as residents,” said Je Robbins, who has served as chair of the vemember ECMC board of commissioners since 2020.

A so-called notice of alleged violation issued by ECMC sta to Chevron subsidiary Noble Energy lists six different breaches of the agency’s rules, initiating what is likely to be a lengthy regulatory enforcement action. e notice accuses Chevron of violating water quality standards, breaking employee safety rules, “fail(ing) to engineer and operate all equipment within the manufacturer’s recommended speci cations,” and more.

An initial analysis completed by Chevron earlier this month identi ed the root cause of the incident as “improper assembly” of on-site equipment by a contractor. A total of 16 oil

Brighton-27J $10 million bus hub nearly complete

BY SUZIE GLASSMAN SUZIE@COTLN.ORG

A new $10 million North Transportation Terminal in 27J Schools is nearly ready to open, o ering critical space and resources to support the district’s growing enrollment and specialized transportation needs.

e terminal, funded by the district’s $515 million bond approved in 2021, is set to provide much-needed space and resources for the transportation department as 27J continues to buck statewide trends of declining enrollment.

While many Colorado districts are consolidating or closing schools due to shrinking student numbers, 27J stands out for its steady growth.

With approximately 23,000 students enrolled across district and charter schools, 27J will soon complete construction of its sixth middle school, Talon Ridge, is building a new high school, and is considering additional elementary schools to accommodate families moving into the area.

Kevin Denke, communications manager for the district, said the new transportation terminal is a direct response to that continued growth.

“ is building is really a product of that continued growth, especially within our transportation department,” Denke said. “It gives them breathing room.”

Key features and sta ng

Located on the north end of the district, the terminal will not replace 27J’s existing transportation hub on the south

A 27J Schools bus sits inside the new North Transportation Terminal in Brighton, where maintenance bays and equipment like portable lifts will support the district’s growing ﬂeet.

side but will expand operations to accommodate increasing demands. It includes maintenance bays, o ce space, break rooms and a large training area for paraeducators and bus drivers.

According to district materials, the terminal will house between 70 and 75 drivers and paraprofessionals, four Fleet Department sta , and 11 to 12 Operations employees.

Ex-charter school teacher faces sexual assault charge

Alleged assault happened in 2016 when victim was at Landmark Academy

BY MONTE WHALEY MONTE@COTLN.ORG

A former teacher at Landmark Academy in Commerce City faces a felony sexual assault on a child by one in a position of trust charge after police investigated an incident in 2016.

e teacher – 44-year-old Michelle McMillan – turned herself in on June 29 to the Adams County Detention Center.

LOST BOY

is week, Garang disclosed the meaning behind the Seeds of South Sudan name. “A village elder told me I will return to my home to plant the seeds of a new life. at’s where my organization is going and why we are trying to help.”

Spreading the word Garang began speaking to several local non-pro ts in May in hopes of raising awareness of Seeds of South Sudan’s e ort to educate the South Sudan orphans.

in specialized transportation services, including those for ‘medically fragile students’ – children with chronic, lifethreatening health conditions requiring ongoing medical management and monitoring.

e terminal also features a new automated bus wash system and dedicated laundry facilities for sta equipment. Crews recently nished installing furniture and are nalizing o ce setups ahead of the building’s opening.

According to Denke, the new site will enable more e cient routing and maintenance, reducing mileage and operational costs while improving service for families across the district’s vast boundaries.

Ongoing sta ng and operational challenges

Despite the new facility, 27J faces the same hiring challenges as many districts, particularly for transportation and nutrition services.

e building features seven o ces, a dispatch center, a dedicated training room for comprehensive sta training and multiple break rooms.

Along with 37 full-size buses and two service trucks, the new site will house 20 of the district’s smaller buses, which are used to transport students with special needs. Since the COVID-19 pandemic, 27J has seen about 10% annual growth

Commerce City Police said in a news release that the victim came forward to a parent in December 2024, alleging that in 2016, when he had been attending Landmark Academy, he was sexually assaulted by McMillan.

McMillan was employed as a teacher at the time of the alleged assault.

McMillan is no longer employed by the Brighton 27J School District, said district spokeswoman Janelle Asmus. No one could be reached for comment at Landmark Academy, which is a K-8th school.

A warrant was issued for McMillan’s arrest last week after an investigation by the Commerce City Police Department and Brighton Police Department’s combined Sexual Assault Task Force, o cials said.

His talk, “Inspiring Hope - Transforming Lives,” describes Garang’s journey of survival to Kenya and then the US, where he founded Seeds of South Sudan, and he’s made his presentation at churches in Denver and in the northern suburbs, as well as in Nebraska.

Garang spoke at the Secular Hub, 254 Knox Court in Denver on June 28 and at Denver’s Montview Presbyterian Church in Westminster’s Covenant Living on June 29. His Denver Metro tour continues at 9 and 10:30 a.m. July 13 at Northglenn Christian Church, 1800 E. 105th Place in Northglenn. Check the website: https://seedsofsouthsudan.org for updates and more information.

Denke said the district is holding regular hiring fairs to recruit more drivers and support sta to meet demand. With furniture now delivered and ofces set up, the North Transportation Terminal is expected to be operational by July, with a ribbon-cutting ceremony planned for early August.

As 27J prepares for another school year, the terminal stands as a tangible sign of the district’s forward momentum.

“ is is just one piece of the puzzle,” Denke said. “We’re building not just for today but for where we know the district is going.”

DUI enforcement a hallmark of Fourth of July

Last July,

troopers investigated 12 impaired driving fatal crashes

BY MONTE WHALEY MONTE@COTLN.ORG

Welcome to July, the month that racks up the most impaired driving crashes in Colorado. e Fourth of July, meanwhile, remains the most signi cant holiday for those violent crashes, the Colorado State Patrol says.

Over four years, from 2021 through 2024, Colorado State Patrol troopers have investigated over 2,450 fatal and injury crashes determined to be caused by impaired drivers. Year after year, the number of impairment-related crashes expands during the warmer months, with the peak month for impaired crashes being July, according to the CSP.

“Last July, troopers investigated 12 impaired driving fatal crashes that resulted in the loss of 13 people. An additional 32 people were left with serious injuries during this month from impaired drivers,” said Colorado State Patrol Chief Matthew C. Packard, in a news release. “We are imploring people who have risked taking substances and driv-

ing in the past to change their behavior,” said Packard, noting driving while impaired has long-term consequences beyond just getting a citation.

“Driving intoxicated is literally rolling the dice with your license, your freedom and your life,” Packard said.

In 2024, Independence Day tied with New Year’s for the most common holiday that Colorado State Troopers responded to investigate a crash (property, injury or fatal) involving an impaired driver, according to the news release. Both holidays had 22 instances. Halloween was next with 17 and Labor Day and Christmas each had 16 accidents involving impaired drivers.

“You have the freedom to choose your sober driver,” said Packard. “When you fail to do your part, and your driving behavior concerns an o cer to pull you over, the consequences will be life-changing. A DUI conviction leads to a criminal record and is generally not eligible to be expunged.”

In addition, DUIs become a matter of public record, meaning information is accessible to the public. A DUI conviction also impacts your driving record. erefore, DUI convictions can impact many aspects of your life when a background check or driving record is required, the news release states.

National Association of Realtors Boasts About Getting Its Top Priorities Into the Senate’s Tax Bill

The bill as passed by the Senate included NAR’s five key priorities:

A permanent extension of lower individual tax rates

An enhanced and permanent qualified business income deduction (Section 199A)

A temporary (five-year) quadrupling of the state and local tax (SALT) deduction cap, beginning for 2025

Protection for business SALT deductions and 1031 like-kind exchanges

A permanent extension of the mortgage interest deduction

Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC): Key provisions from the LIHTC Improvement Act are included on a permanent basis to support affordable housing development.

No Changes to Carried Interest Rules

“These provisions form the backbone of the real estate economy—from supporting first-time and first-generation buyers to strengthening investment in housing supply and protecting existing homeowners,” according to a NAR spokesperson. “Real estate makes up nearly one-fifth of the entire U.S. economy, and we made sure policymakers understood that homeownership is the essential component to building wealth and a strong, prosperous middle class.”

Several other provisions in the bill championed by NAR add to its positive impact on the real estate sector:

Child Tax Credit Increased to $2,200: Permanently raises the credit, with inflation indexing. This provision could ease housing affordability for families.

Permanent Estate and Gift Tax

Threshold Set at $15 Million (Inflation-Adjusted): Prevents a sharp drop in exemption levels and supports generational wealth transfer.

No Increase to the Top Individual Tax Rate: The proposed 39.6% rate was removed from the bill.

Restoration of Key Business Provisions:

Full expensing of research and development

Bonus depreciation Fixes to the interest expense deduction limit

Immediate Expensing for Certain Industrial Structures: Applies to facilities used in manufacturing, refining, agriculture and related industries.

New dress code rankles Je co library sta

JCPL workers say new policy proposal silences support for marginalized

BY SUZIE GLASSMAN SUZIE@COTLN.ORG

Je erson County Public Library workers say a proposed dress code policy under negotiation would bar them from wearing Pride pins, DEI-themed shirts or other visible signs of support for marginalized communities, despite the library’s public celebration of diversity.

e proposed change comes as sta are negotiating their rst-ever union contract. In March 2024, JCPL employees voted to unionize, forming the Je erson County Library Workers Union under Colorado’s new collective bargaining law. Contract talks have been underway since the vote. At issue is the library’s current dress code, which allows sta to wear business casual attire and include limited adornments on lanyards, such as pronoun buttons and two additional pieces.

e policy also states apparel should be “free of slogans/wording other than JCPL or County-sponsored items.”

Union members say they had hoped to clarify and expand this policy to explicitly allow supportive t-shirts and buttons tied to library events, such as Pride Month, Black History Month or Banned Books Week.

Instead, management has proposed further tightening restrictions, eliminating all visual messaging, including buttons and other visual elements.

Williams said management has cited safety concerns, arguing that visible political messaging could lead to verbal altercations. For instance, a patron might yell at a sta member for wearing a Pride button.

Williams said she’s unaware of any prior incidents involving apparel, and noted the library’s public-facing code of conduct already addresses verbal harassment.

“ ey’re saying it will make library workers safer,” Williams said. “But what keeps us safe is enforcing the code of conduct, not telling us not to wear a button.”

Sta raise concerns over free expression

Williams and union sta believe the issue goes beyond a few slogans.

“ is isn’t just about a dress code,” said librarian Katherine Williams, a member of the union’s bargaining team. “ is is the canary in the coal mine.”

JCPL leadership declined to answer speci c questions, citing the ongoing collective bargaining process.

Executive Director Donna Walker emphasized the library’s public-facing commitment to equity.

“JCPL remains unwavering in its commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion, and we will not restrict or diminish our support for these e orts,” Walker said.

JCPL also highlighted its continued support for LGBTQ+ communities with a robust lineup of Pride Month programming in June, including author talks, book displays, lm screenings and family-friendly events across multiple branches.

But union members say that’s not what’s playing out behind the scenes.

“How can the library present itself externally as radically welcoming, while internally telling sta they’re not allowed to

express the same kind of support?” asked sta member Katy Conway during public comment at a June 18 board meeting. at meeting, according to Williams, drew more than 40 attendees, including over 20 patrons who spoke out against the proposal. No one, she said, spoke in favor.

arms in library facilities.

“If management views signs of support for marginalized communities as ‘o ensive’ or a safety concern while simultaneously refusing to implement a county statute that would prohibit open carry of rearms in libraries, we are forced to ask: whose safety really matters?” she said

GO FROM MAKING PEANUTS TO AWARD

WINNING STEAKS

“ is proposed policy is not neutral,” sta member Anna Sparlin told the board. “It’s going to be a nightmare to enforce, and it throws our most vulnerable sta and patrons under the bus.”

Williams also pointed to what she described as a double standard. While management seeks to ban symbolic support for marginalized groups, the library has declined to implement a county statute that would prohibit the open carry of re-

Colorado joins 19 other states to stop transfer of Medicaid data to ICE

Colorado is joining a multistate coalition in a lawsuit to block the mass transfer of individual personal data to the Department of Homeland Security and Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

While the dress code issue hasn’t derailed broader negotiations, sta said it re ects larger concerns about creeping restrictions on library programming and materials.

“Public libraries exist to serve everyone,” Williams said. “But that only works when sta are empowered to re ect the values of equity, safety and inclusion that our communities need and deserve.”

“ e personal health care data collected about Medicaid bene ciaries is con dential, to be shared only in narrow circumstances that bene t public health and the integrity of the Medicaid program,” said Weiser, a Democrat. “ ere’s no reason to share this sensitive data with immigration or law enforcement agencies. We’re suing to protect Colorado’s Medicaid program and the health and welfare of the people it serves.”

Drop-in child care at the Denver airport due in 2026

Denver airport o cials plan to open a small drop-in child care center in 2026 and are studying the possibility of opening another child care center that would serve more employees in the future.

e drop-in center will have room for 20 children and be located on the fourth level of the airport’s hotel and transit center, within a new training facility called the Center of Equity and Excellence in Aviation. e child care center is meant to provide occasional care and will primarily serve the children of airport employees or community members who are participating in training center activities.

While the planned center would serve only a tiny fraction of the airport’s more than 40,000 employees, it represents a rst step toward boosting the number of child care seats in an area with limited supply. O cials at the airport, which is the nation’s third busiest, beganstudying the possibility of a child care centerat or near the airport’s far northeast Denver campus earlier this year.

at area of the city has so few statelicensed child care slots, it’s considered a child care desert.

other U.S. airports with on- or near-site child care facilities. ey include Los Angeles International Airport, which operates a center for the children of employees a few blocks from the airport campus, and Pittsburgh International Airport, which runs a center in a converted terminal. Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport is slated to open a center on its campus this year. e three centers are bigger than what’s planned at Denver’s airport.

Denver’s drop-in center will have two classrooms — one for babies and toddlers and one for preschoolers — and a separate play area. It will be open 10 to 12 hours a day Monday through Friday year-round, including on holidays, according to the airport’srecent request for proposals,which seeks an operator to run the child care center.

Parents participating in activities at the airport training center will pay nothing for care. Some airport employees not participating in training activities also will be allowed to use the child care center for back-up care, but will have to pay a fee.

Ashley Forest, an airport spokesperson, said by email that she couldn’t provide information on which employees will be eligible for back-up care at the center or whether they will pay a discounted

fee. She also couldn’t provide details on whether families will be limited to a certain number of weekly or monthly hours of care at the center.

Forest said plans for the drop-in center came out of the second phase of the airport’s three-phase child care feasibility study. e third phase will look at the possibility of “an airportwide child care solution,” which could be a second child care center on or near the airport campus.

Earlier this spring, airport o cials estimated that 19,000 of more than 40,000 airport employees fall into the 20- to

39-year-old age range, but said they still needed more information about how many of those employees have young children and need child care. e airport is working with a businessoriented group, Executives Partnering to Invest in Children, on the child care feasibility study. Forest said she expects a recommendation to come out of phase three later this year.

State leaders work to circumvent vaccine skepticism

Many Colorado lawmakers and medical experts were already concerned about how the Trump administration could shake up vaccine recommendations and access in the state. en Robert F. Kennedy Jr., secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services,dismissed all 17 expertson the federal Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, replacing them with eight new members, many of whom are seen as vaccine skeptics.

But months before the changes at ACIP, state lawmakers approved a bill meant to insulate Colorado from vaccine poli-

cies that are inconsistent with scienti c evidence. House Bill 25-1027 allows the state Board of Health to go beyond exclusively following ACIP for school vaccine requirements and consider recommendations from doctors’ groups, including the American Academy of Pediatrics and the American College of Physicians. It was signed into law in April.

State Sen. Lindsey Daugherty, an Arvada Democrat, was one of the bill’s sponsors. She said the provision that gives the state Board of Health more exibility came from “discussions of what could be the worst thing that could happen (with ACIP), and how do we protect Colorado, future-looking?”

“Unfortunately, we’ve had to play on

the defensive a lot in Colorado, and that’s something we take really seriously, because now, at least in Colorado, folks can look to science-based recommendations for vaccines for kids, instead of the politically stacked ACIP,” Daugherty said. e federal advisory committee, which is part of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, is now chaired by Martin Kulldor , a doctor and former Harvard Medical School professor who was red in 2024 after declining the COVID-19 vaccine. e committee met for the rst time with its new members on Wednesday and ursday, and voted to ban thimerosal, a harmless preservative used in a small portion of u vaccines. e committee also announced it will reexamine

current recommendations around childhood vaccination schedules and hepatitis B immunizations.

“Some media outlets have been very harsh on the new members of this committee, issuing false accusations and making concerted e orts to put scientists in either a pro- or anti-vaccine box,” Kulldor said during the commission meeting. “Such labels undermine critical scienti c inquiry, and it further feeds the ame of vaccine hesitancy. To thoroughly scrutinize and assure the safety and ecacy of vaccines is a pro-vaccine position.” is story is from Colorado Newsline. Used by permission.

Polis’ bridge proposal may join the pile of bad ideas

It’s called “Colorado’s birthday bridge” which Governor Polis has been promoting in conjunction with celebrating Colorado’s 150th birthday. It would be a winding pedestrian bridge “featuring artwork throughout the pedestrian experience, highlighting the “diverse stories and values of Colorado” according to the Denver Gazette.

e bridge would be between the west side of the state Capitol, going over Lincoln Street to Lincoln Memorial Park. e project would be funded from a combination of public and private funds. However, the bridge has run into a bit of a “buzz saw.” Both the projected cost and “why a bridge” have gained momentum among the public, Democratic legislatures and friends of the Governor. e estimated cost was quoted at $18 million-$20 million. However, Channel 9 obtained documents which show “the cost to be 40%-60% more than the state has been saying,” according to Kyle Clark. Secondly, a variety of people are questioning the need for a pedestrian bridge, while others — such as John De enbaugh, President and CEO of Historic Denver — argue that the bridge does not t with the historic character of Denver’s Civic Cen-

CROSS CURRENTS

Spring came early this year on the mountain slopes near Crested Butte. David Inouye has monitored the blooming of wild owers there during the last 55 years. is was not a record year, he reported in May, but it was remarkably di erent from just a few decades ago.

“ irty years ago, owering didn’t start until the rst week of June,” reported Inouye, who studies the timing of periodic biological events in plants and animals, a discipline called phenology. By late April this year, seven species of wild owers had blooms on the slopes of the Rocky Mountain Biological Laboratory. More wild owers earlier in spring. What’s not to like about that?

In Paonia this year, where Inouye lives, Apricot trees owered in mid-March. Later frosts killed this year’s crop. at, he says, is one harm to earlier spring. Early springs produced by rising temperatures also have long-term consequences. In 2005, when I rst started writing about climate change, I traveled to the outdoor laboratory at Gothic to see an experiment then underway. John Harte, a scientist from Berkeley, had mounted electric heaters over plots to approximate future temperature increases. How would this change vegetation over time? Would sagebrush eventually replace the wild owers? e answer is complex but comes down to one word: yes. We can expect more sagebrush and fewer wild owers on south-facing hillsides at 9,500 feet in elevation. is, Inouye pointed out, will take time. “Almost all the wild owers here are long-lived perennials, so change doesn’t happen rapidly.

U.S. Supreme Court reduces the power of lower U.S. Courts

In a landmark decision, the U.S. Supreme Court has boosted its power and sway at the expense of lower federal courts. It was also a huge boost to President Trump and his agenda.

CU hopes to build housing in Louisville for their employees e University of Colorado has met with the Louisville City Council to lay out its plans

to build housing in the city for faculty, sta and graduate students starting in 2027 or 2028.

Associate Vice Chancellor Lori Call indicated that CU does not plan “to have 18-year-olds living at the site. is is not going to be a residence hall” for undergraduate students.

Rather, the typical resident is likely to be “younger professionals who works at the

university or graduate students.” e university has already purchased land for the development, acquiring the former Regal Cinebarre eater located near the interchange of U.S. 36 and McCaslin Boulevard. e 8.85 acre site was purchased at a cost of $10 million. University o cials said “Housing is becoming a challenge. It isn’t a new phenomenon, but it is increasing at CU.” e site lends itself to housing with bus service right at their doorstep, with the RTD bus stop close by. It seems unusual for a large university to develop housing in an adjoining community. What it implies, but was not said by university o cials, is that it is too expensive to develop housing in Boulder. Regardless of where it is located, it is a smart and necessary plan to assist their employees in achieving lower housing costs. More institutions including school districts need to give serious thought to building housing for their employees. Would a bond issue work where the rent pays the principal and interest?

An early spring was observed far beyond Colorado’s mountain slopes. A U.S. Geological Survey website on June 6 showed a spring leaf index two and three weeks early across broad bands of the United States, including Colorado.

Once again, so what? In most places, people prefer summer to winter. Besides, isn’t this story about earlier spring getting old? I have been writing about it for 20 years. One scientist I queried said yet another story about early springs would induce yawns unless I had a new angle, like a spike in electricity demand for air conditioning during April.

Brad Udall delivered a strong rejoinder at a recent Colorado River conference. “Hold on to your seats,” he told his audience at the University of Colorado’s Getches-Wilkinson Center, “because I’m going to make you uncomfortable.”

e world, explained Udall, a water and climate research scientist at the Colorado Water Institute, is on track for warming of 9 degrees Fahrenheit by 2100. “ is far exceeds anything agreed to by the 2015 Paris Climate Accords. And frankly, it terri es scientists.”

Over land, the temperature increase will be even greater than the global average. “ at’s a world unlike anything we currently know, and it’s going to challenge us all on every front.”

Nearly all scientists agree that heattrapping greenhouse gases are responsible for our predicament. Emissions have

risen 60% during the last 35 years. “What we’re witnessing is a monumental failure of both capitalism and governance,” he said.

Why sound the climate change siren at a Colorado River conference? Because water availability in the Colorado River Basin is inextricably linked to rising temperatures. Drought can ease. Aridi cation, the result of rising temperatures, will not.

e seven states who share the river now struggle over how to share this shrinking river. e 1922 compact assumed 20 million acre-feet. Flows this century have averaged about 20% less.

“I’m now convinced that we need to plan for the worst possible climate future, and that’s somewhere around 10 million acre-feet runo ,” said Udall. “But what it also means is taking a hard look at every existing agreement in the river. It

A hopeless situation? Udall warned against despair. “ ere’s a term called the pessimism aversion trap. It’s the tendency look the other way when confronted with dark realities,” he explained. Don’t go there, he said. “We still control our destiny, even if the solutions seem daunting.”

And nally, his plea: “I plead with you to get serious about guring out how to reduce the emissions of your organization and even your own personal emissions. I agree that individual actions aren’t going to solve this, but they send a really strong signal to everyone around us.”

New transit hub to be located in ornton along I-25

Good news! e Colorado Department of Transportation is constructing an additional transit hub along the I-25 corridor. CDOT, Adams County, ornton and Broom eld o cials o cially broke ground on the facility, which will be at the I-25 and Highway 7 interchange.

O cials pointed out that the new hub will give people in northern Colorado additional transit options. is will be the fourth of its kind to make transit, including Bustang, more accessible. Colorado Transportation Commissioner Karen Stuart (who represents our area) stated “Our current mobility hubs, the one we are breaking ground on today, and the ones we’re going to construct in the next several years, will play a critical role in shaping our transportation future.”

Initially, the hub will accommodate 152 vehicle parking with the ability to double its size to 304 vehicles.

Other additions at the ornton hub will include a pedestrian bridge over I-25, bus shelters, new tra c signals on the I-25 and Highway 7 ramps, additional sidewalks and a permanent water quality pond. With more and more growth to the north, such facilities are needed to help provide convenience and cope with increasing tra c.

Westminster Grange #184: How much do you know about it?

I nd that not everyone knows about the Westminster Grange #184. In fact, I have a growing concern about people’s general awareness of Westminster’s history. is includes Westminster City employees where there has been a noticeable turnover in the last ten years.

So, let me share information about the Grange, thanks to the information Gary Shea has in his les.

For over 115 years, the history of Westminster is synonymous with the Westminster Grange. In 1910, members of the community decided to form a grange and o cers were elected. It related to the agricultural nature of Westminster in those days.

Charter o cers included Mr. Newton Bowles and Mrs. Maude Bowles, mem-

tion, in an email to CPR. “ is unprecedented request for sensitive health data is not about program integrity—it’s about surveillance and punishment. We call on state leaders to reject this directive and uphold Colorado’s values of dignity, safety, and care for all.”

e coalition highlighted in the suit that “the Trump administration’s illegal actions are creating fear and confusion that will lead noncitizens and their family members to disenroll, or refuse to enroll, in emergency Medicaid for which they are otherwise eligible, leaving states and their safety net hospitals to foot the bill for federally mandated emergency healthcare services,” according a press release from the Attorney General’s O ce.

Colorado joined the following states in the legal challenge: Arizona, California, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Illinois, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Oregon, Rhode Island, Vermont and Washington. is story is from CPR News, a nonprofit public broadcaster serving Colorado.

bers of the pioneer family to the Westminster area and who built what is today called “ e Bowles House,” managed by the Westminster Historical Society and located on the south side of 72nd Avenue close to the railroad tracks.

Mrs. J.C. DeSpain of the pioneer family was the rst Ceres of the organization. Also, Mrs. E.M. Williams, whose son Merton was the only man to live continuously in Westminster since 1903.

e new Grange was rst a dance pavilion platform that was later the site of the Westminster City Hall on the south side of 73rd Avenue west of today’s Fire Station No. 1.

Only two years after the grange had been formed, they purchased two lots at 3935 W. 73rd Avenue (north side of the street) for the grange hall at a cost of $300. e original building was 30 feet by 70 feet and was built at a cost of $1,200.

Some people have the impression that the City of Westminster owns the building. However, it is privately owned by Westminster Grange #184.

Over the years, the grange was the center of activity and community life. For many years, it was the only public building of any size where all civic organizational and organized social events like dances and city council meetings were held. e grange building was the sole voting precinct polling place for many years until Westminster grew. e building has been used as a church. Almost every type of public activity has been held at the Grange.

I can recall when the Progressive Homeowners Association would hold their Saturday morning meetings there and invite speakers from the city to address them. Members of the general public can rent the building social events, craft sales, speaker events and more.

It’s an important part of Westminster’s history, but at the same time does not get the nancial support that it deserves to help maintain the facility. I’ll have more about the Grange in a future column.

Creek users navigate rocky conditions, icy waters as Golden’s tubing season begins

With temperatures hitting 90 degrees and with the creek open to tubing and swimming, it’s no wonder that everyone and their dog ocked to Golden’s section of Clear Creek for the June 28-29 weekend.

After a two-week closure, city and county o cials reopened Clear Creek to tubing and swimming on June 24, as water levels and speeds dropped. is e ectively kicked o Golden’s tubing season, as the corridor sees thousands of tubers throughout the summer.

Many took advantage of it on June 28, as tubers, kayakers, riverboarders, rafters, swimmers and others enjoyed a hot afternoon on the creek.

City of Golden ambassadors remarked how, while June 28 was certainly busy, the corridor sees much bigger crowds later in the summer. ey attributed the smaller crowds to the yellow- ag conditions, which caution against children recreating in the water.

Yellow- ag conditions also can be hazardous, and adults are recommended to wear helmets and life jackets and to proceed with caution, they said. ere have been a few rescues and other dangerous situations since the creek reopened to tubing on June 24, they explained.

Meyer, who was visiting from Texas, and Jay Sheridan from Virginia were rsttime tubers on Clear Creek. e two said they were in town for the Metallica concert and were looking for things to do. Sheridan’s cousin who lives in Longmont said they could go tubing, and recommended Golden over Boulder.

Sheridan and Meyer rented tubes at Adventure West and took the shuttle up to Clear Creek Canyon Park, and then rode their tubes down to Vanover one time. Sheridan said he’d be willing to do a second trip, but Meyer said he wanted to get feeling back in his toes rst.

Despite the cold water, they felt the experience was “smooth” and “well-organized.” ey said they felt safe and wellinformed before their tubing adventure.

Meanwhile, Scarboro and Kerner were veteran tubers who have been visiting Clear Creek for four and two seasons, respectively. ey typically go tubing four or ve times a season, taking roughly three trips down the creek for each visit. ey said they recently bought their own tube to use in Golden and other tubing destinations.

“It’s a fun, free thing to do,” Scarboro said, “and there aren’t many of those around.”

On June 28, groups of tubers and other trail users pass the City of Golden ambassadors’ station along the north Clear Creek Trail near the RV park. Clear Creek moved to yellow-ﬂag restrictions on June 24, which allows for all uses with caution.

Scarboro and Kerner remarked how, while Clear Creek is usually quite cold because it’s snowmelt, the water seemed “super-cold” on June 28. e two normally like getting ipped out of their tube while going down the rapids, but the water temperature dampened the experience this time.

While he and his friends oated down Clear Creek in in atable rafts, he noted how there were dozens of people along the creek cheering on and supporting the tubers.

Overall, he felt like Golden was very friendly to tubers and water sports in general.

Cohen anticipated he and his friends would return to Golden in the coming weeks, saying they’d be monitoring the water speeds and conditions to identify the best time to go rafting.

In his testimony, Moss said that during an April 29 meeting with representatives from the Colorado Department of Labor and Employment, the attorney general’s o ce and the governor’s o ce, “nobody expressed the view that the production should be made in light” of the state law.

“We all agreed that if there were concerns about child welfare, those should be looked into by appropriate folks. But we all agreed that we had not seen any evidence of any harm to children,” Moss said. “If we had any evidence, it could be routed the appropriate way. ere are state and local agencies that cover such things.”

CDLE director Joe Barela then told Moss in late May that Polis had changed his mind and wanted to produce the records requested by the subpoena.

Lawmakers seek answsers on wolf reintroduction

Program costs have far exceeded initial estimate presented to voters

BY SARA WILSON NEWSLINE COLORADO

e head of Colorado Parks and Wildlife told lawmakers on Monday that it is the department’s “preference” to release more wolves into the state next year, despite calls to pause the reintroduction program.

“I don’t have the right answer to whether or not a pause is the right thing to do, or get the last 15 (wolves) out and move on to the management piece,” CPW Director Je Davis said. “Every time we release more animals, it’s more emotional and di cult for us to pull o that operation, and it’s also challenging for the (livestock) producers at the same time.”

Davis appeared in front of the Colorado Legislature’s Water Resources and Agriculture Review Committee to give an update on the state’s wolf reintroduction plan, which voters approved in 2020. Wildlife o cials have released 25 wolves in the state since December 2023 from Oregon and Canada.

e original goal was to release 10 to 15 per year for three to ve years, beginning in 2023, to get to a stable population of at least 50 wolves in the state.

Davis said the department’s preference is to sign a new agreement with British Columbia to relocate more wolves from Canada.

But the program is highly controversial,

especially among rural Colorado farmers and ranchers who decry wolves killing their livestock. Between April 2024 and April 2025, wolves killed at least 25 cattle and sheep, according to the recently released annual report on the reintroduction e ort.

e Copper Creek pack was responsible for many livestock deaths in Grand County in 2023, prompting to CPW to capture the six wolves last September and release them alongside the Canadian wolves earlier this year in a di erent part of the state.

at decision, producers said Monday, led to an erosion of trust in CPW.

“A depredating pack was known to have depredated in Oregon before they put them in Middle Park. ey had a serious impact there. ey packaged them up, put them away for a while and then they put them back out right in my backyard,” said Tom Harrington, a cattle producer in Roaring Fork Valley and previous president of the Colorado Cattlemen’s Association.

A September 2024 petition led by a coalition of livestock associations and other agricultural interest groups requested a pause in CPW’s planned reintroductions until the department could implement strategies to prevent depredations. CPW’s commissionrejected the petitionin January.

“I believe that we need no more new releases until plans are in place and the basics are working,” Harrington said Monday. “We need metrics to measure the success of what this program is. I believe we can — and here comes that word that I really don’t like — coexist with the wolves that choose to not prey on our livestock.”

CPW has worked through some of the seven points of the petition, including de ning “chronic depredation” as three or more depredations by the same wolf or wolves within 30 days. e division has also outlined a lethal removal approach that starts by killing one or two wolves, evaluating the pack’s behavior and its e ect on depredation, then considering additional lethal removals. CPW also started a range rider program to deploy riders in areas with high wolf conict to “proactively haze predators using non-lethal techniques,” according to the annual report.

CPW killed a wolf for the rst time in May in Pitkin County.

“ e idea of a pause continues to make sense to me, if it creates more time for more robust implementation and completion of those seven items, and maybe now beyond those seven,” House Speaker Julie McCluskie, a Dillon Democrat, said. “But I think the entire reintroduction and restoration is at risk if we can’t get our legs underneath us and be in a position to do this the way we need to.”

Representatives from CPW also told lawmakers Monday that the cost of the reintroduction has reached about $3 million. In 2020, voters were given an estimate of about $800,000 for the program.

“I understand a lot of this money is going to ranchers and producers to help to compensate them,” Sen. Dylan Roberts, a Frisco Democrat, said. “ at’s money hopefully being well spent, but that’s also money in the state of Colorado right now — in the budget situation we’re in — that is not going to xing potholes in roads. It’s not going to classrooms across the state. It’s not going to people who are

losing their health care and many who are about to lose their health care. is seems out of control.”

Davis said there are a lot of factors that go into realizing the reintroduction plan that were not considered in the ballot cost estimate, such as the state’s decision to compensate for livestock weight loss and fewer pregnancies due to wolf presence and the high cost of beef.

We’ll resolve your debt as quickly as possible so you can ﬁnally start living the life you want.

I am so happy with National Debt Relief. They just resolved one account and saved me over $11,000. They keep me in the loop and work with me

Colorado Alpenglow players named WUL All-Stars

Pro ultimate frisbee players to represent the best in Wisconsin

For the rst time, an All-Star showdown is set between the Western Ultimate League and the Premier Ultimate League during the 2025 United Frisbee Association Championship weekend.

ree Colorado Alpenglow players are making the trip to Madison, Wisconsin, on Aug. 23 to represent the WUL. e Alpenglow is an ultimate frisbee team of women and

nonbinary players that plays at the Pinnacle Athletic Complex in ornton. Founded in 2022, the Alpenglow has seen quick success, and the team is the reigning 2024 WUL Champions.

Colorado’s Allysha Dixon, Jade McLaughlin and Abby orpe are joining 17 other WUL All-Stars from the seven teams in the league and will take on 20 players representing the PUL. Surprisingly, WUL O ensive Player of the Year Ari Nelson, also on the Alpenglow, didn’t make the All-Star team. e rosters were determined by fan voting and team nominations.

According to the WUL’s website, “these players represent the best of what both leagues

have to o er — elite skills, unmatched athleticism and leadership on and o the eld. More than just a showcase of talent, this event is a celebration of the community, the progress, and the players pushing professional women’s and nonbinary ultimate forward.”

Summertime is in full bloom in Colorado, meaning perfect temperatures and picturesque backdrops for some hiking, camping and stargazing along the Front Range and beyond.

But in such a saturated state for adoring nature, plus those weekend crowds on I-70, how do you know where to start? Just like trying to pin down a hike on AllTrails, it can feel like spotting a needle in a haystack.

You don’t want somewhere too crowded, too far away or all booked up with reservations. Plus, where you pitch a tent for the night may determine the extent of supplies you’ll need.

It’s a little bit more traveled, but I found camping there last weekend ... it’s really close to town near Browns Creek Trailhead. And this is dispersed camping (I camp with a camper. I’m not a tent camper, I’m a camper camper). It gets real close to town, and it’s quiet back in here, and there’s a trailhead right there where I like to camp.”

-Joe Lopez, Arvada

Awesome spaces in Deckers

“Down just o US 285, just south of it, that whole region is called the South Platte. In the northern portion of the South Platte, the Deckers area as a whole, there’s a lot of open space land and BLM (Bureau of Land Management) land. In that, you can nd a lot of awesome spaces there. Potentially, some of them are

Skilled campers detail Colorado’s best summer spots

free to just go camp. You just pull your car right to the spot. ere’s no one around, usually, and you just pitch your tent or park your RV and you’re camping.”

-Angus Applegarth, Evergreen Fire Protection District

Options for campers or for backpackers

“ ere is one trail that leads you to Horse Shoe Campground in Golden Gate State Park, which is a backpack-inand-out situation, really nice and not a crazy hike, but very beautiful. en Wolford Reservoir is great for next-to-water camping and large groups. For a camper-accessible option, the River Campsite near Estes Park would be a good option.”

-Lori Abbey, Arvada

Riverside camping

“Poudre Canyon is probably my No. 1. It’s easily accessible and the drive out is beautiful. Along the canyon is the Poudre River that has accessible beaches for chilling, shing and tubing. ere’s also guided white water rafting before my favorite spot, a restaurant/venue called Mishawaka Amphitheater, which is always a good stop for a beer and lunch by the water. e great part about the canyon is that there’s camping by the water and up on the mountain. Some spots are paid, but others are BLM.

I also really enjoy the Black Canyon of Gunnison National Park. ere’s a load of free camping nearby and it’s a jawdropping experience, from the drop o to the views. I remember getting in late for my rst visit and setting up camp, excited for the canyon. Waking up, I expected nothing, but walked out and felt like I was shot back to prehistoric times. Absolute beauty.”

-Jimmy Garcia, Northglenn

Secluded and private

“I love Guanella Pass because it’s just easily accessible, provides beautiful water and valley views and feels secluded and private.”

-Shelby Andress, Denver

Falls and dunes

“We really enjoy camping at the Great

Sand Dunes, for obvious reasons. Zapata Falls is only about seven miles south of the sand dunes. It’s a really wonderful spot to go visit, and right now it’s actually glacial, so you need crampons to get up in there, but it’s beautiful. We camp a lot at Carter Lake just because it’s so convenient. It’s relatively inexpensive, it’s a good place to go sh and go exploring.

We have a 30-foot camper, travel trailer, so we have to rent a space like six months in advance. But there are tent

sides all over the place. e cool thing about that, too, is you can go from dome tent campsites to the walk-in, doubleroom ones. It’s all really at. On the south campground, there’s a boathouse so you can rent whatever you need. If you go to the marina, you can actually rent a boat and kick around. We like to take our paddle boards into a couple coves ... gosh, just lay on your back, stare at the sky and fall asleep for a while, let the water just take you where you go.”

-Keith Hancock, ornton

The public is welcome to attend in person. See below for additional information.

The applicant for the property on the south side of W 88th Ave, east side of Federal Blvd, and west side of Decatur St has submitted a concept plan to the City for review.

City Council Action: City Council will review the proposed concept plan and provide comments to the applicant. No official actions will be taken. Any comment, suggestion, or recommendation made by the City Council on any concept review plan is entirely gratuitous and does not bind or otherwise obligate city staff, the planning commission, or the City Council to any course of conduct or decision after an applicant makes an official submittal of a development plan to the city for technical review.

NOTE: A Concept Plan Review does not include a public hearing or public comment. Members of the public are allowed and encouraged to attend the meeting, but no public comment will be taken.

If you want to view the City Council Study Session agenda, agenda memo, and other materials for this meeting, they will be posted prior to the concept plan review at https:// www.westminsterco.gov/agendas

NOTE: The Concept Plan Review (CPR) process is preliminary. The City requires applicants to present their concept to the City Council prior to submitting applications for the technical development review process.

Following the CPR meeting, the applicant may advance their project by submitting development applications to the City for technical review. After the first round of review is complete, the applicant is required to hold a project meeting where the community can provide feedback on the proposed development for consideration by the applicant. Once staff review is complete, the applicant is required to bring their plans to the City of Westminster Planning Commission for review and then on to City Council for final consideration. Both of these public hearings provide additional opportunities for public input.

and gas wells were planned to be drilled on the Bishop site as part of a development plan approved by the ECMC in September 2022.

As part of the enforcement process, ECMC sta will calculate penalties against Chevron that will then be adjudicated by commissioners. Greg Duranleau, the ECMC’s deputy director of operations, said the penalties were “one piece of the nancial impacts this incident may have on Chevron.”

“ ere may be civil settlements for damage, there’s a possibility for other agencies to enforce their regulations, and of course, there’s the cost of the response and cleanup,” Duranleau told commissioners during a special public hearing on ursday.

Four of 14 families that were evacuated from the Galeton area after the blowout remain displaced from their

homes, according to Chevron.

“We continue to actively work with the remaining residents on the next steps, including getting access to their properties to conduct assessments and cleaning,” the company’s website says.

An extensive cleanup and remediation e ort is underway, a process that Chevron estimates could take up to ve years. ousands of environmental samples have been taken across a 7-square-mile “assessment area” centered on the well site, sta told commissioners.

“I am optimistic that Chevron will work with us through the enforcement process to bring a timely resolution,” ECMC Director Julie Murphy said in a statement. “And I am grateful to the many folks at Chevron who are working diligently to remediate the signicant impacts of this incident.” is story is from Colorado Newsline.
