Parterre metro district plan with $189 million debt limit approved Thornton City Council unanimously approves dramatic increase in debt level for proposed 800-acre development BY LIAM ADAMS LADAMS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Thornton City Council unanimously passed a plan to finance the construction of Parterre, a proposed 800-acre development in the city’s northeast corner. Several councilors expressed confusion about technicalities associated with the metro district plan before they all ultimately approved it during a Feb. 23 meeting. Several councilors cited the developers’ seeming trustworthiness as their reason for approving the metro district, a controversial subject in recent Colorado development news. “The biggest issue for me is that this is the ability to grow that area and to have the area pay for that growth,” said Mayor Jan Kulmann before voting to approve the plan. “We want to make sure we are SEE PARTERRE, P5

Adams 12 to do full-time, in-person learning for secondary level BY LIAM ADAMS LADAMS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Adams 12 Five Star Schools will bring middle and high school students back for full-time, in-person learning. The district announced its decision Feb. 26 after sending out a survey for families to declare if they were opting for fully in-person or fully remote. Those who opted for in-person learning will be in the classroom Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday. They will still learn remotely on Wednesdays. Other families chose to learn remotely five days a week. Of the 10,200-plus hybrid learners, 93 percent chose full in-person, while

the rest chose remote. Superintendent Chris Gdowski said district leadership originally proposed a return to full in-person learning because COVID-19 case rates have declined and staff vaccinations have increased. More than 4,000 district staff and teachers have been vaccinated as of Feb. 26, said district spokesperson Christina Dahmen. Currently, Adams County is level yellow on the state’s COVID-19 dial but is close to the next lowest level, blue. A district statement also mentioned that school buildings have increased ventilation and an inventory for students and staff to wear double paper masks. At levels blue and green, state and county health officials don’t

require school districts to offer hybrid learning for secondary level students, explained Dave Lockley, president of the District Twelve Educators’ Association. As a result, the union was supportive on the new in-person model, Lockley said before the district made its decision. “We rely on what the public health experts to tell us when things are safe and what we should do to make them safe,” he added. Teachers are nervous about the change because it’s another pivot for them, Lockley said. Yet, he added, “If we can do things safely, it has always been our position that we should be in person.” High school seniors and other identified special populations will

return on March 8. Everyone else will follow suit after spring break. Douglas County School District, Jefferson County School District and Weld Re-8 School District have recently made similar decisions. Westminster Public Schools has been providing full-time, in-person learning at all levels since the semester began. Brighton’s 27J Schools will continue its traditional hybrid model. 27J spokesperson Tracy Rudnick said, “While we understand the desire to fully open our schools and facilities to in-person learning, we do not want to compromise the health and safety of our students or staff, nor do we want to lose any additional educational time due to a COVID-19 outbreak or quarantine protocols.”

Westminster Buddhist center moving forward, but some residents concerned Pushback from neighbors about architecture and noise BY LIAM ADAMS LADAMS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A proposed Tibetan Buddhist temple in Westminster hoping to promote peace and harmony is the source of recent tension in the community. Residents of the surrounding suburban neighborhood expressed concern at a Feb. 16 community meeting about architecture and noise emanating from the meditation center. In response, city staff sought to allay certain concerns and explain the temple wouldn’t be much different than if a Christian church was going there. Westminster City Council approved a preliminary plan for the Mipham Shedra Tibetan Buddhist Meditation Center in January 2020. The Feb. 16 meeting was an early stage in the approval process for an official development plan for the center to be located at 8200 West 106th Avenue in northwest Westminster. The temple would occupy 5.7 acres and would include the center itself, a garden court, prayer wheel wall, deck and parking lot. The center’s mission statement is to, “promote the preservation and practice of Tibetan Buddhism for the benefit of all sentient beings,” said Gyurmed Dorjee, the center’s minister, at the Feb. 16 meeting. Since the center would be the first of its kind in Westminster, Dorjee and architect Will Gaebler went into more detail about its practices. The prayer wheels, for example, are small chimes mounted on walls that people spin as they walk around the wall. “When we spin this, we believe those prayers are carried by the wind and spreading everywhere around the universe and benefit all sentient beings,” Dorjee said. Later in the meeting, though, residents expressed concerns. They

submitted questions and comments beforehand that a city employee read aloud. One question was, “A building with spires on them does not fit into the existing architecture of our neighborhood and thus, does not fit the fabric of our neighborhood. Is it possible not to allow the spire?” In response, Gaebler and city planner John McConnell explained the spires are part of the community’s religious expression, similar to a cross on a Christian church. “The elements that we’re proposing on the development have symbolic meaning to them … The intent wasn’t necessarily to conform to an American vernacular style,” Gaebler said. Other questions and comments from the public were about, as one person said, “noise pollution” from prayer wheels and chanting. McConnel said the city doesn’t anticipate there being noise disturbances. Summarizing the debate playing out in the meeting, city planner Nathan Lawrence said at one point,

Northglenn police advisory group formalized, Thornton’s on the way BY LIAM ADAMS LADAMS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Northglenn finalized its police advisory group of citizens, while nearby Thornton is close to doing the same. After a month-long application process that received a high level of interest, members of the 13-person board in Northglenn introduced themselves at a Feb. 22 city council meeting. More than 50 people applied, said Councilman Antonio Esquibel. Residents on the board are Nicholas Walker, David Farley, Christina Sharkady, Shannon Lukeman-Hi-

romasa, Gerald Montour and Terri Thompson. The youth-at-large member is Abhiyan Barailee. There are also three community safety members, Mathew O’Leary, Justin Lauck and Paul Gesi. Then, there are three community service provider members, Clay Cunningham of Community Reach Center, Kelli Lewis from SCL Health and Ihsan Riahi, outreach director for the Metropolitan Denver North Islamic Center. “I love Northglenn even more because of this proactive stance that you guys have taken in creating this board,” said Lukeman-Hiromasa at the council meeting. “I really appre-

ciate the willingness of the police department and the city council to allow voices to be heard that haven’t been in this conversation before,” Thompson said. The City Council began discussing the idea last year after a consultant audited the Northglenn Police Department and provided recommendations in a 391-page report. At the same time, there were nationwide protests against police brutality. The group will offer input on the department’s strategic plan and policies. Meanwhile, the Thornton Police Department is forming its own policy & community team (PaCT). Slightly different than Northglenn’s

board, PaCT will be composed of seven residents selected from each police district. Like Northglenn, members will provide input on policy, training and long-term strategies. “The foundations of community policing in Thornton are effective communication, relationships based on trust, and collaborative problemsolving,” said Thornton Police Chief Terrence Gordon in a community statement. PaCT is currently accepting applications at www.gocot.net/tpdpact. The police district map can be viewed at www.gocot.net/policedistricts.

Adams 12 to hire consultant for equity review BY LIAM ADAMS LADAMS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Adams 12 Five Star Schools will hire a consultant to review equity and inclusivity in the district for students and staff of color. The board of education expressed its continued support for the review that it called for last fall. Recently, the district held stakeholder meetings to determine a scope, which staff presented to the board at a Feb. 17 meeting. There are nine major areas the consultant will focus on, including discipline practices, staff training, performance management practices, curriculum and partner-

ships between schools and local law enforcement. The consultant will primarily focus on diversity, equity and inclusion for racial and ethnic minorities, although it will also look at other intersecting identities, such as LGBTQ+ identities or if someone is experiencing homelessness, for example. The consultant will also be asked to review data, policies and protocols. “That’s what all this work is intended to do, is to make sure we’re providing equitable treatment, opportunities and outcomes for all of our students,” Superintendent Chris Gdowski said at the Feb. 17 meeting. Technically, the groundwork be-

gan in 2018 when the district formed a district equity leadership team, explained Rochelle Garcia-Gomez, the federal programs title coordinator. Thereafter, Adams 12 created a leaders of color network and began partnering with the Latino Leadership Institute to facilitate bias training workshops for staff. After the board called for a formal review last fall, district executive teams met with the leaders of the color network, student leadership council and parent focus groups to give feedback and determine the review’s scope. Board directors said they were fine with the process so far, especially because it has sought student

input. “In the same way that we’re seeing that adults are ready to have these conversations, our students are too,” said Director Jamey Lockley. The district hopes to hire a consultant next month, who will then conduct the review into the fall. By October, the board hopes to implement an equity plan based on recommendations the consultant made. Gdowski said, “I’m excited to see what we learn. Even though I know some of it, we won’t want to hear. But we need to hear it and then we can move into the action stage to make the improvements … after we have started a thoughtful and honest review of where we stand.”

PARTERRE FROM PAGE 1

respecting our past, but we are looking forward to the future.” Metro districts are governments established — in this case, for a specific subdivision — that issues debt to repay the developer for building the neighborhood. The revenue to pay off that debt comes from property taxes. Metro districts are a way for the neighborhood to pay for itself, rather than the city paying for it. Developers, city councilors and even critics agree that districts are good for new subdivisions that need roads and water lines. Currently, unlevel farmland occupies the area where Parterre will go. Its location is north of 144th Avenue, south of 152nd Avenue and west of Quebec St. Once completed in 10 to 20 years, it will house 4,100-plus residential units. The metro district plan council approved Feb. 23 is an amended version of a plan the city council approved in 2008. The debt issuance limit in the 2008 version was $85 million. The amended plan raised that to $189 million. The main reason for the increase is that construction costs have more than doubled, said Chad Murphy, representative of Hines, the developer. The new plan also included new accountability and transparency measures, as required by new state laws. Though most experts agree that metro districts aren’t inherently bad, critics argue they can be easy

opportunities for abuse. A 2019 Denver Post investigation outlines different ways developers can leverage metro districts to increase their profits. That’s something Charles Wolfersberger, a CPA and president of a local property management company, said he was concerned about with the new Parterre metro district plan. Wolfersberger spoke at the Feb. 23 public hearing and also sent a letter to the council the same day. “Such an increase (in debt issuance) appears unreasonable and we are not confident that City staff has performed sufficient analysis,” he said in his letter. He also pointed out that Parterre’s debt per acre amount is far higher than the average calculated from six other Thornton-based metro districts. Wolfersberger also criticized the metro district’s structure and how

Parterre will technically have eight smaller metro districts instead of one big one. Certain technical issues with the structure, “exposes the city to future potential litigation by the residents,” he said in the letter, a point that Murphy disputed in the Feb. 23 meeting. Though some councilors expressed skepticism about Parterre’s plan during the meeting, many also believed the plan had enough checks and balances. Councilor Angie Bedolla asked Murphy, “Due to the previous metro districts and those who gave it a bad name, would agree that metro districts of today … ensure that you are following the guidelines appropriately?” Murphy responded, “Yes … True malfeasance in districts today is very rare.” Other councilors said they were confused about certain matters and would have preferred to delay the vote until after an upcoming study session that will review the basics about metro districts. “I wish that we had the conversation with staff that we were supposed to have about metro districts in general before doing this,” Councilwoman Julia Marvin said before voting yes. However, Murphy made it clear that Hines was eager for the council’s approval. “We’re chomping at the bit to get going, quite frankly,” he said. At one point in the meeting, Murphy agreed to accelerate a plan for certain roadway improvements, to allay certain councilor’s concerns in hopes they would approve the metro district. City Manager Kevin Woods called it out, saying to Murphy, “Suddenly, you’re all about

fixing them (roads) … If you can suddenly be aggressive on it, how did that happen?” Even though every councilor wasn’t 100 percent reassured about the plan before approving it, they said there were bigger factors to consider. The main one, as articulated by Bedolla, “We as a city cannot afford to put forth this infrastructure and that is the reason for metro districts.” After the meeting, Murphy said in a statement, “The PD and Metropolitan District amendments approved by Thornton City Council were paramount in making Parterre a reality. We are thrilled to have the support of the City and are now able to move forward with the new, updated vision for Parterre.”

Officials hope to give tenants more power Advocates back on task amid changes brought by pandemic BY JENNIFER BROWN THE COLORADO SUN

Before the coronavirus pandemic, and before an economic crisis that pushed unemployment to historic levels, Colorado policymakers were already working on plans to equalize the power between landlords and tenants. Back in 2019, what was dubbed the “year of the renter,” a slate of Democrat-backed bills at the statehouse never materialized. A few new laws were passed to help renters, but the bulk of the agenda stalled. Now — after a year in which the state and federal government enacted eviction moratoriums to keep an unknown number of Coloradans from ending up homeless — tenant advocates are picking up where they left off. “Prior to COVID, people were paying more than half of their income toward rent,” said Cesiah Guadarrama Trejo, a co-director of 9to5 Colorado. “What COVID did is shined a light on how vulnerable renters were if they went without just one or two paychecks. I don’t think anyone imagined what would happen to have weeks and weeks of unemployment.” A key goal for the working women’s advocacy group is curbing “predatory” late fees tacked onto rent payments that cause renters to fall even further behind. Other efforts include limiting rent increases to no more than once per year, allowing tenants more time to catch up on payments before the eviction process can begin, and changing court procedures so that renters don’t have to pay in order to make a claim that their home is unsafe. Legislation filed before the pandemic, and struck down in a committee hearing last year, would have prohibited landlords from charging late fees until a rent payment was at least 14 days late. The bill also would

have capped late fees at $20 or less than 3% of the rent amount. The same Democratic lawmakers who ran that bill want to pass more comprehensive legislation this year, hoping that fellow policymakers are swayed by stories of eviction and homelessness brought on by the 2020 economic crisis. The upcoming legislation from Democrats Rep. Serena GonzalesGutierrez, Sen. Julie Gonzales and Rep. Yadira Caraveo will tackle the daily late fees that some landlords add onto rent, and would prohibit evictions based solely on late fees. They also want to crack down on landlords who illegally lock people out of their homes, and make it easier for tenants to seek help in court if they live in unsafe conditions, such as no heat or water, or if there are holes in their roof. The bill, which has not yet been filed, would eliminate the requirement in state law that tenants must post a bond in order to bring such a case. Legislator stays focused

Gonzales-Gutierrez, a former child welfare caseworker who once found children living in a mobile home with mold on the ceiling and a giant hole for a front door, has been working on renters’ rights bills for the past two years. Legislation she passed in 2020, along with Gonzales, prohibits landlords from demanding proof of immigration or citizenship status from a tenant. Another successful bill, passed in 2019, prevented landlords from charging exorbitant fees to file an apartment rental application. The eviction moratoriums and rental assistance programs passed during the pandemic are “BandAids,” while Colorado needs longterm changes in law, Gonzales-Gutierrez said. “We are actually amongst the lowest when it comes to tenant protections,” she said. “We see folks all too often who are being evicted because their dog is barking too loud. Or a barbecue grill is on their front porch. This is disproportionately impacting communities of color and low-income communities.” Under one renter-related bill

already introduced this legislative session, which began last week, landlords would have to give 14 days’ notice instead of the currently required 10 days before starting eviction proceedings. House Bill 1121, from Rep. Dominique Jackson, also would prohibit landlords from increasing rent more than once per year. The Colorado Apartment Association, which advocates for landlords’ rights, counters that the state’s eviction process already takes two or three months, depending on the county. Legislation to extend the timeline will only make it more expensive and unpredictable, said Drew Hamrick, the association’s senior vice president of government affairs. “If we are going to encourage people to provide housing to others, we must give them a reasonable mechanism to get the property back,” he said, noting that the association is in talks with the bill sponsors to find compromise. A story of struggle

When Melissa Jones’ husband lost his job at a fish company last May, the Denver couple struggled to come up with their $1,075 rent check. He was unemployed through September, when he found a part-time job at UPS for half the pay. At the same time, Colorado’s unemployment system was jammed. Like thousands of others, the couple was

locked out of the system and didn’t receive a check for more than three months. By fall, Jones was late on rent for their one-bedroom apartment on the border of Denver and Aurora. According to the rental agreement, they had to pay 15% in late fees, plus a $50 “posting fee” to cover the cost of the notice stuck to their door. The penalty charges bumped their rent to $1,286. It was nearly the end of the month by the time they came up with the money, and then next month’s rent was due two days later. The couple was able to get back on track when the state came through with unemployment benefits, including back pay for the months that were skipped, but falling behind was stressful and scary for Jones, who has been homeless before. “The thought of that instability was freaking me out,” she said. “It makes me anxious.” The threat of eviction was all too real because Jones’ 21-year-old daughter was evicted last year after she fell behind on rent and her landlord charged $75 per day for every day the rent was late. She was 10 days behind, and owed $750 on top of her $900 rent, Jones said. Moratorium may be misunderstood

New Westminster co-op hopes to get more people on solar

TENANTS FROM PAGE 6

BY LIAM ADAMS LADAMS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Westminster, a place in the metro area city that is already a hub for solar power, hopes to power more homes with a new co-op. Organized by the nonprofit Solar United Neighbors (SUN), the co-op is an opportunity for residents to band together and receive expert advice on solar panel installation to reduce the overall cost. The enterprise would incentivize additional reliance on renewable energy in a city that has so far permitted enough solar energy to power a maximum of 3,300 homes, city leaders said. “I believe that a strong community effort through the co-op can make Westminster a leading solar city in Colorado. That will lead to cleaner energy, cleaner air, more jobs and lower energy bills,” said Kathryn Skulley, a member of Westminster City Council, at a Feb. 18 webinar. The co-op itself is free to join. Once 30 people sign up, SUN will solicit bids from installation companies and present the options to a committee of co-op members who will select one company. In so doing, installation costs are reduced because the company isn’t spending time and money on education and outreach to potential buyers, explained Bryce carter, SUN’s Colorado program director. Westminster currently holds a Platinum Level Solar Friendly Community certification from the Colorado Solar Energy & Storage Association, said Paul Schmeichen, Westminster’s chief sustainability officer. The city is currently pursuing a rare Gold Level certification from the federal SolSmart program and hopes the co-op will help accomplish that.

on evictions during the coronavirus pandemic, but many are concerned about what happens when the moratorium is lifted. The policies don’t forgive past-due rent. Gov. Jared Polis also signed an order banning fees on late payment of rent during the pandemic. His order placing a moratorium on evictions, which he let expire at the end of the December since a federal order is now in place, required landlords to inform tenants of the moratorium in writing. “It puts some guardrails to buy more time,” said Guadarrama Trejo, from the nonprofit 9to5. “Most tenants want to find a solution with their landlord. No one wants to become unhoused, especially now. People are not going to survive in the cold. And we still have a pandemic going on.” Colorado’s frontline workers during the pandemic, the folks who work in grocery stores, as delivery drivers and in restaurants, make up a large portion of the renters in this state, Guadarrama Trejo said. “The front-line workers, those are the same people who are renters who have

been struggling,” she said. Last spring, the legislature passed a housing assistance bill, allowing Colorado renters to ask for help from a state fund. Colorado also received federal coronavirus aid to help renters stay housed. But that, too, is temporary. Leading up to the push for more renter-friendly laws, three advocacy groups, including 9to5, helped develop a survey — conducted by Strategies 360 and commissioned by the State Innovation Exchange — that found overwhelming support for such policies. The survey of 501 Colorado voters, reached by phone earlier this month, found that 80% support capping how much landlords can charge in late fees and that 70% support a cap of 2.5% of the total rent. Most of those polled said Coloradans should not allow evictions solely on the basis of unpaid late fees, as long as the tenant is keeping up with their base rent. More than 80% of respondents said housing affordability in Colorado has gotten worse in recent years, with 70% agreeing it’s a serious problem or even a “crisis.” This year’s legislative proposals build off of one of the laws passed in 2019, the Residential Tenants Health and Safety Act, that

strengthened renters’ rights regarding living conditions. It says landlords are in breach of contract if they fail to provide healthy and safe housing, including any condition that “interferes with the tenant’s life, health or safety.” Sen. Gonzales, who lives in an affordable housing unit, said it’s been obvious the last few months that Colorado needs a “clear and transparent process,” one understood by renters and landlords. She’s heard from people who were served eviction notices to appear in court, but did not go because they heard on the news that there was a moratorium on evictions and didn’t realize there is paperwork involved. Evictions are “devastating economically, devastating for a family’s stability,” she said. “We want to make the process a bit more fair. “Even in the midst of a pandemic, even with a federal moratorium, the fact that there are still people either at risk of eviction or who are navigating eviction court demonstrates the scale of the need that exists.” This story is from The Colorado Sun, a journalist-owned news outlet based in Denver and covering the state.

Better read this if you are 62 or older and still making mortgage payments. It’s a well-known fact that for many older Americans, the home is their single biggest asset. And with interest rates near all-time lows while home values are still high, this combination creates the perfect dynamic for getting the most out of your built-up equity. But many aren’t taking advantage of this unprecedented period. According to new statistics, senior homeowners in the U.S. are now sitting on more than 7.7 trillion dollars* of unused home equity. It’s not surprising that more than a million homeowners have already used a government-insured Home Equity Conversion Mortgage (HECM) loan to turn their home equity into extra cash for retirement. It’s a fact, with a government-insured HECM loan, no monthly mortgage payments are required; however, the borrowers are still responsible for paying for the maintenance of their home, property taxes, homeowners insurance, and, if required, their HOA fees.

Today, HECM loans are simply an effective way for homeowners 62 and older to get the extra cash they need to enjoy retirement. The cash from a HECM loan can be used for almost any purpose. Other common uses include making home improvements, paying off medical bills, or helping other family members. Some people simply need the extra cash for everyday expenses while others are now using it as a safety net for financial emergencies.

College leaders urge state to restore funding Tuition at Colorado’s public universities is among nation’s highest BY JASON GONZALES CHALKBEAT.ORG

Fearful of extensive layoffs and potentially deep cuts to student services, leaders of Colorado’s public colleges and universities are pressing lawmakers to restore $493 million the state chopped off their budgets last year. The academic leaders are campaigning as if the health, and perhaps existence, of their campuses are at stake. And with good reason: When Colorado slashed their budgets during two past recessions, the colleges never fully recovered. Metropolitan State University of Denver President Janine Davidson said college presidents are presenting a united front on the restoration of funding because “at some point you have to say this isn’t working.” And Adams State University President Cheryl Lovell said colleges did their part in balancing budgets last year and a return to the 2019-20 funding level would be a positive step for colleges and their students. “We’re unified in that message,” Lovell said. Gov. Jared Polis and House and Senate leaders have said they value

returning the 58% cut that the state inflicted last year to help balance a budget as the pandemic ate into revenues and raised expenses. Some lawmakers have stalled, saying they want to wait for budget forecasts. Others hesitated because

Congress is sending states more aid. The December stimulus package will send millions of dollars to many Colorado colleges and universities to help with the coronavirus impacts and to aid students. The next stimulus bill could send

millions more to Colorado schools. But that federal largesse can’t be used for colleges’ operating expenses; it must respond only to the pandemic. SEE COLLEGE, P10

COLLEGE FROM PAGE 8

For years, lawmakers have dipped into higher education funding to spare other state priorities, said Joe Garcia, Colorado Community College System chancellor. That happened during both the 2001 and 2009 recessions. Lawmakers added back some funding, but higher education budgets never returned to their previous levels. In four years from the onset of the 2001 recession, Colorado slashed higher education funding by 23.1%, or about $158.6 million. The state followed the same pattern during the Great Recession, cutting about $135 million from higher education from 2008-2012. After both crises, schools across the state substantially raised tuition. The cuts helped Colorado sink toward the bottom of state rankings in higher education investment. “Higher ed, whenever there are competing demands, tends to bear the brunt of the cuts,” Garcia said. Colleges face an additional financial threat. Enrollment across the state dipped during the pandemic. Students bring in money Every student brings in dollars, through tuition and also state funding based on enrollment. Significant drops can decimate an operating budget. If enrollment doesn’t bounce back (as some predict) and/ or if the state doesn’t substantially

restore funding, campuses face major cuts. That could mean fewer instructors, counselors, and career guidance services. It could also mean higher tuition, even though Colorado already charges some of the highest tuition in the nation for public schools. Raising tuition would burden students and families already pummeled by the pandemic and the recession. Colorado Department of Higher Education Executive Director Angie Paccione urges colleges to find ways to cut budgets without increasing tuition. She thinks they’ll survive the downturn, and doesn’t oppose campuses asking lawmakers for more money — because schools lack adequate funding. But she said schools have a responsibility to raise graduation rates that lag for students of color and those from low-income families compared with general rates. And some schools, like the University of Colorado-Boulder, for years have failed to boost enrollment of lowincome students. While regional colleges educate more low-income students, those campuses graduate those students at a lower rate than do the state’s flagship universities. “You can’t just ask for money and not provide the outcomes,” Paccione said. Regional colleges are less able to cope with state budget cuts, because they have fewer outside resources and because their students have more difficulty absorbing higher tuition.

In Colorado, regional and community colleges receive a larger share of their operating budgets from the state and tuition than do flagship schools. The University of ColoradoBoulder and Colorado State University both get significant federal funding for research. The University of Northern Colorado, a regional college, anticipates raising tuition by as much as 7%, depending on state funding. The University of Colorado system announced possible tuition increases of 3%. Community colleges face tough call Garcia said community colleges might raise tuition, but that could impose hardships on students. “The more we raise tuition, the less money students have available to cover their other mandatory living expenses like housing, transportation and food,” Garcia said, “things that they absolutely need to spend money on.” A recent study by the Alliance for Research on Regional Colleges found the pandemic has cut into budgets at more than 100 rural public colleges it examined. Those colleges are preparing to reduce worker hours, furlough employees, freeze vacant positions, and lay off workers. Cecilia Orphan, a University of Denver higher education professor and co-author of the study, said better-funded schools can help more students graduate. For instance, even though they enroll a smaller proportion of students of color and from low-income fami-

lies, flagship campuses with more resources graduate those students at a higher percentage than do more state-dependent colleges. And regional schools have struggled to improve graduation rates. Orphan said regional colleges have difficulty supporting and graduating students, especially those from low-income families, due to the diminished state budgets. She said too many people have become “comfortable with broken promises for Coloradans.” “Students want to advance themselves,” she said. “They want a better life for themselves and their families, and they’re accessing institutions that are doing everything they can but are having to work with resources that are just so extremely constrained.” Davidson, of MSU Denver, said she believes restoring funding should be viewed as a moral imperative: Decreased funding will disproportionately lock out low-income students from opportunities and hurt the state’s economic future. “College genuinely is the elevator to social mobility in this country. It really is what has made America competitive and strong,” Davidson said. “If we don’t live up to that promise we will have repercussions that will go well beyond `I can’t send my kids to school.’” This story is from Chalkbeat Colorado, a nonprofit news site covering educational change in public schools.

Here is a chance to influence Westminster going forward

he City of Westminster’s “Westminster Forward” endeavor continues to chug along toward a time when public comment CROSS will be offered. This multi-faceted CURRENTS planning process is important for all of us who call Westminster home. There are five different components to the process. In my mind, the comprehensive land-use plan is by far the Bill Christopher most important part of “Westminster Forward.” The comprehensive land-use plan contains the designations of what land uses and at what density or developer intensity are allowed. When finalized, they will set the

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Not just a hat

Westminster City Councillor DeMott makes a brave case trying to explain why he publicly wore a hat expressing support for the ‘Three-Percenters’. They are a far-right anti-government militia group that has been designated by the Canadian government as a ‘most dangerous extremist group’ and by the FBI as ‘people who ascribe to extreme anti-government, pro-gun beliefs’. Councillor DeMott has stated his horror at learning that some of the terrorists who stormed the US Capitol on Jan. 6 were Three-Percenter group members. In today’s political climate the establishment or support of a group that advocates armed resistance to our duly elected government inevitably attracts and emboldens those who feel they are not subject to a democratically established government and the rule of law. Councillor DeMott’s attempt to distance himself after the fact from the inevitable activities of treasonous thugs is a weak and disingenuous posture. He should have known better.

direction and character of Westminster to the year 2040. If you care about your community and how the remaining 636 acres of developable land are to be used, I would highly encourage you to be involved in what city staff is unveiling. Also, the updated plan will address proposed changes in land uses on existing developed land. Given Westminster’s approximate 2% remaining developable land, there are likely to be considerable re-development projects over time. Opportunity to understand the proposed plan According to a Planning Division staffer, the comprehensive land-use plan will have initially been presented to the council at a city council study session on March 1. This presentation is to provide background information. A more substantial

and forward-looking presentation and discussion are anticipated at the April 5 study session. Even though the public is not allowed to speak at study sessions, it would be worth your time to virtually attend the April 5 presentation and discussion. You should get a good idea of what will later be unveiled to the public for input. I would speculate that from this session, staff will have the City Council’s direction on all or a good part of the land use plan and make any desired changes. At this time, there are no set dates for public input, but keep an eye out for notices. A time to speak and a time to act If you think there are too many or even enough apartment developments in Westminster, then you should let your thoughts be known.

If you believe that our community has enough retail development, speak up and let your elected officials know your opinions. If you believe that land uses, which accommodate more primary jobs, are insufficient, don’t sit quietly. If you think more open space, neighborhood parks and trails are warranted, say so without hesitation. In other words, when the public comment time comes, be prepared to attend the meetings and make your voice heard. You can also email, call or write a letter or two. To me, a community’s comprehensive land-use plan has always been and will be the guiding force of the community.

A lifelong attraction to the hard stuff

man walks into a bar with a large chunk of concrete and says to the bartender, “Give me a drink. And one for the QUIET road.” DESPERATION I like concrete. I’ve always liked concrete. Concrete is everywhere. Construction of Hoover Dam began in 1931. It was completed in 1936. It looks the same today as it did Craig Marshall 85 years ago. Who else Smith can say that? There are 4,360,000 cubic yards of concrete in the dam, powerplant and secondary buildings. The Empire State Building used 62,000 cubic yards of concrete. Arapahoe Community College on South Santa Fe in Littleton is a brutallooking structure, isn’t it? Actually, “Brutalism” is an architectural term. Brutalism began in post-war Great Britain and was characterized by constructions that showcased bare building materials. In ACC’s case, that’s exposed concrete. When my in-home studio addition was built in 2003, a truck pumped concrete over my house to the foundation forms at the back through a pipe that was controlled by a workman with a handheld device. Concrete is normally 60% to 75%

aggregate, 15% water and cement, and 5% to 8% air. Aggregates include sand, gravel and crushed stone. I know what you’re thinking: “The old frog has run out of things to write about.” Far from it. And I’m not the only one who feels this way about concrete. I recommend “Concrete Planet: The Strange and Fascinating Story of the World’s Most Common Man-Made Material.” “We use it for our buildings, bridges, dams, and roads. We walk on it, drive on it, and many of us live and work within its walls.” Okay, it’s not espionage or zombies, but for those of us who prefer to be informed, it’s good reading. The Smithsonian Channel has a new program that thrills, stuns and mesmerizes me. “How Did They Build That?” “Across the globe, radical architects, ingenious engineers, and skilled builders are creating structures so outrageous they defy logic.” Often, these architects, engineers, and builders rely on concrete. Songs? Songs titled “Concrete” can be found. “Concrete and Clay” reached No. 1 the UK in 1965. Remember Johnette Napolitano? She was the lead singer of Concrete Blonde, a successful rock band from Hollywood. Concrete definitely lasts but it doesn’t last forever. Many of the con-

crete bridges in America are showing disconcerting signs of deterioration after decades of traffic, especially semi-tractor-trailer trucks traffic. Concrete trucks have always intrigued me. The revolving cylindrical barrel going in one direction, the truck in another. I try not to follow them, and admit to a childish fear the chute will swing out and the driver will release his load, as it were, on my imported station wagon. Concrete is gray. Or not. Concrete can be colored with stains, pigments, and dyes. None for me, thanks. Gray is good. In fact, I chose warm, concrete gray for the exterior paint of my home. (It was either that or dachshund red; the HOA barked.) There’s an urban myth about “concrete shoes” attributable to the connection between certain types and the concrete industry in New York City. You can explore the ruins of Concrete City, a collection of 20 homes built entirely of concrete in 1911 in Nanticoke, Pennsylvania, northwest of Philadelphia. A better name now might be Graffiti City. The ruins haven’t been respected.

single-family detached or townhome neighborhoods. Don’t support light industrial development with a lot of truck traffic close to any type of residential development. The compatibility of adjacent land uses is essential to create harmony and livability. This is your opportunity to influence the outcome of the plan and what will occur over the next 20 years!! What to do with the “water gap” It is important to remember that the allowed land uses for the future in this upcoming plan must dovetail with water resources and open space considerations one way or the other. From past discussions, city staff has acknowledged that the city does not currently own or control sufficient water resources for the build-out of the EXISTING comprehensive land-use plan. It was stated that approximately 2,000 acre-feet of ADDITIONAL water must be acquired. So, the question becomes what should the city council do regarding the new 20-year plan as far as reconciling land use water demands with available water resources? Another component of “Westminster Forward” is a water supply plan. This has not yet been unveiled to the public so we don’t know what approach the staff is recommending, but I see three basic scenarios for the city council to consider. How should the city council solve the “gap”? My option number one would only allow land uses which total with

the EXISTING water supply. That would mean a more stringent set of allowed land uses than presently is allowed. In Option #2, the new comp plan land uses would ignore the shortage of water resources and assume that the city would be able to acquire additional water resources “along the way.” That is the current thinking of the city i.e. “betting on the come.” Option #3 would be based on the assumption that increased water conservation measures imposed by the city council would cover any water supply shortfall when calculating the water demand of the adjusted land uses. Such measures would be imposed on all existing and future customers. Measures like higher water rates, permanent lawn watering restrictions and reduced turf allowed in new developments are possibilities. Other considerations involving a comp plan Although water resources are paramount in our semi-arid climate with global warming continuing to affect our weather patterns, there are obviously other basic considerations when developing a comprehensive land-use plan. Transportation of people and commerce must be included. Potential tax revenue such as retail land use designations must be factored into the mix. The amount of open space, parks and trails are especially important in today’s society. There are other considerations, but I would submit that water resources are the main driver.

has now come to grips with city council meetings returning to the council chambers with some public in attendance. Councilors unanimously agreed to start a phased approach with the April 12 council meeting. However, the plan developed by staff is based on a four-phased approach with incremental in-person attendance of the public. Phase one does not allow ANY public attendance. Only city council and minimal staff are allowed in the council chambers and even then they have the option to participate remotely. Phase two would only allow public attendance to testify in a public hearing. If you just want to come and see your city council in action on a Monday night, you can forget it! With social distancing, a maximum of 32 members of the public are allowed. This includes seating in both the council chambers and the lobby area. Phase Three would allow public attendance up to the 32 seating capacity. If necessary, a rotating, in-rotating out process would be used to accommodate all public attendees. Phase Four is “completely open.” More rules and procedures There are a lot of details involving

their plan — including deploying up to six police officers and utilizing 12 staff as “ambassadors,” which seems excessive. Masks are mandatory in all cases. The public can still participate under the current remote protocols and no dates or deadlines are stated as to when the council would move from one phase to another. Obviously, all phases and procedures must comply with Tri-County Health Department regulations. So, at least it is a start. It is important to note the procedure for public hearings which anticipate large attendance (I am sure staff is thinking ahead about the Uplands/Pillar of Fire land public hearing): Such public hearings would be held in the council chambers but on a separate date, with only the single public hearing being on the council agenda. The latter point is a mistake. Why not use a gymnasium like at Crown Pointe Academy or City Park Recreation Center so more people can stay for the whole public hearing? Back in the day, the city used offsite larger facilities on such occasions. Bill Christopher is a former Westminster city manager and RTD board member.

Returning to meetings in council chambers oh so slow Here’s some good news to report, to some degree any way: While it has been unnecessarily slow in coming, the Westminster City Council

A fair chance of festivals this summer Though it’s too soon to say for sure, many beloved summer events are in the works BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

or those who didn’t get to watch fireworks or eat funnel cakes in 2020, this spring and summer could bring good news: Festivals and fairs are in the works, though nothing is set in stone. Scores of local events were canceled last year as COVID-19 reshaped life, though some gatherings went forward in a limited capacity. This year, as COVID numbers improve and the vaccine rollout advances, local officials are cautiously optimistic that many beloved community events can carry on. “It will look different, but we can figure out innovative ways to do this,” said Mellissa Sager, the policy and intergovernmental affairs manager for the Tri-County Health Department, which covers Adams, Arapahoe and Douglas counties. “These events are really important to communities, and we can make it work.” Face masks will likely still be required at public events through the summer, Sager said, as will social distancing measures, symptom screenings and capacity limits. Restrictions are largely set at the state level, Sager said. Governor Jared Polis is expected to roll out new, more flexible measures in coming weeks that could better facilitate summer festivals. Here’s a look at summer plans around the metro area as they stand at the beginning of March: Adams County

No events have been canceled so far this year, Adams County spokesperson Christa Bunting said. That includes the Adams County Fair scheduled for Aug. 4-8, and a Styx concert at Riverdale Park on Sept.

Metro-area cities are planning a wide range of festivals this summer, with an eye on COVID safety.

The Arapahoe County Fair, scheduled for July 22-25, will be open “in some form,” county spokesperson Luc Hatlestad said. “The goal is to have as complete an experience as possible.” Other summer events at the fairgrounds on East Quincy Avenue include a series of 5K walks and runs, the Chalk Lines & Vines art and wine festival on May 15 and 16, and the Pictures on the Plains summer movie series on June 16 and 30. arapahoecountyfair.com

Arvada’s Kite Festival, sched-

A very 2021 spring season at the Arvada Center COMING ATTRACTIONS

Clarke Reader

s the first-year anniversary of the COVID-19 shutdowns across the metro area nears, theaters continue to lead the way when it comes to connecting and entertaining audiences in innovative new ways. And the Arvada Center, 6901 Wadsworth Blvd., is calling upon several methods it has tried over the last 12 months to launch its virtual spring season. The center’s season kicked off on March 1 and runs through May 15. It features four shows - one with limited opportunities for in-person experiencing - that provide a kind of sampler of the available story delivery systems.

“We’ve been creating virtual theater on an ad hoc basis and have done several radio plays this past fall and winter,” said Philip Sneed, president and CEO of the center. “We weren’t sure if we were going to be able to deliver something to audiences in person this season, so we developed this mini season of digital theater. We think this is a great representation of some of the approaches to digital programming.” The season begins with “Buyer and Cellar,” a one-man play featuring Jake Mendes. The show - which was recorded in Mendes’ own home (with some touches from the center’s talented behinds the scenes team) - follows a shop clerk working

in the private basement shopping mall of Barbra Streisand (which evidently is a real thing). The hilarious piece will be available for on-demand viewing through March 21. The center’s second offering is, “Christine Con,” a live virtual show written by Jessica Austgen. Much like “The Family Tree” (the show Austgen wrote for the holiday season last year) the show uses videocalling technology to bring the story to life. It brings audiences to an Agatha Christie fan club convention that (surprise surprise) features a murder. Viewers will be able to even participate in the mystery as the clues SEE READER, P15

and suspects reveal themselves. Performances are at 7 p.m., Wednesday through Sunday, from March 19 through April 4. At 7:30 p.m. on Friday, April 2, the center will present Our Favorite Things: A Musical Retrospective - a live event that will be streamed with a limited number of in-person seats available. The show will highlight some of the most popular knumbers from 45 years’ worth of musical theater. “We usually do a musical as part of the spring season, but it is difficult to make that work from people’s separate homes,” Sneed said. “So, we’re going to do this live one time with all four performers in the same place. It’s one of the small ways we’re coming back to the Main Stage.” The final spring season offering is a radio play adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s immortal novel, “The Great Gatsby.” Zachary Andrews, who adapted “Dracula” to this format in October, is back adding original music and sound design to his list of duties. “We believe that organizations that continue to put out whatever programming they can during all of this will come back stronger when things start reopening,” Sneed said. “We know we’re serving a very demonstrated need from our community. Barely a day goes by without hearing from patrons about how much they can’t wait until we come back.” For information and tickets, visit www.arvadacenter.org. Casa Bonita thanks you, NEXT

Lily Kerlin knew that what she and Brandon Benedict were doing was something that not a lot of high school seniors have the opportunity to do. It’s not every day that you get to interview the governor. Yet, that’s what Benedict, a senior at Arvada West High School, and Kerlin, a Denver South senior, found themselves doing last month. “I really didn’t believe that it would happen,” Lily said. “… I didn’t know what it would be about or the direction up until that first episode, but we did a lot of research on what the `Hear Our Voices’ podcast would be.” Brandon had a similar reaction. “At first, I didn’t believe it,” he said after receiving that initial email about taking on a co-hosting role for a monthly podcast from Colorado Young Leaders and CiviCO. “I was a little nervous. I had never done a podcast before.” But both teenagers are finding the platform welcoming to share their voices on topics such as resiliency, courage, empathy and more. The podcast, which will tackle themed topics monthly, is the brainchild of Lauren Steavpack, the program director for Colorado Young Leaders. Through a partnership with CiviCO, the podcast - but more specifically Colorado Young Leaders - empowers high school student leaders throughout the state. The perfect hosts Having Lily and Brandon co-host the program was a no-brainer, said Steavpack, because of their desire to tell stories and their ability to amplify youth voices. And while podcasts have been the rage in recent years, CYL focused on coming up with a unique way to tell their story while reaching out to an embracing audience. Before she got involved with CYL, Lily said that she was floundering as a freshman and sophomore, like she wasn’t making a difference. That changed in her junior year, and now, she’s using her voice for

the betterment of her generation. “Youth can especially not only make changes but be a part of a change that you want to see,” Lily said. “Brandon and I are easily telling stories that are relatable. The stories we’re telling are really engaging.” Brandon agreed. “The main goal is the youth part of their voices,” he said. “The whole goal is to see how adults and kids can work together.” Today’s youth are not only the future, but they’re in a position to make an impact right now, Steavpack said. “Empowering them is allowing them to lead and shine on their own,” she said. Like interviewing Gov. Jared Polis and Ananda Birungi, the winner of the Colorado Governor’s Citizenship Medal, for the first episode. Interviewing Polis was a bit nerveracking, they said, but once they realized he was just another person — albeit in a leadership role — that calmed the nerves a bit. “He’s just another person on Earth, another guy in the community,” Brandon said. “He has so much power, but having him on the podcast felt cool. It was very humbling.” Lily agreed. “It was so nerve-racking not only because he’s the governor, but I feel like, especially with any adult in a position of power, that it’s nerve-racking for youth to have a conversation with them,” she said. “But after we did the interview, we were like we killed that. It was not as bad as we thought. There’s the politician side of him, but we got to listening to him a little bit more. It was fun to learn a little bit about his life. I think we got a different perspective than an adult would get, a different energy.” Brandon Benedict and Lily Kerlin hope that the “Hear Our Voices” podcast will make a difference in the world around them and that young voices, like theirs, will be heard for years to follow. If the first episode is any indication, they’re well on their way to doing just that.

100 years of God’s work Growing from a train car, First Baptist Church celebrates a century BY BELEN WARD BWARD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The First Baptist Church of Fort Lupton will be celebrating 100-years of worship serving generations of families. “On March 14th following the regular service, there will be a small event commemorating 100 years of God’s work. A large celebration is planned for later in the year; however because of COVID-19 restrictions a date has not been set, said,” Kenneth Harnet member volunteer. The church has historical significance with overwhelming commitment and planning by a congregation throughout the decades to continue its tradition of church services and community gatherings. Baptist chapels in the 1890s were built inside railcars provided by Union Pacific Railroad. Chapel cars were designed differently than passenger rail cars at the time. It was constructed longer in diameter to accommodate living quarters for the minister and families as well as an extra room with an extended area for members to attend the church services. A Chapel railcar was placed on the side of the train tracks in Fort

Lupton in 1921. The community of Fort Lupton named the Chapel car Emmanuel. “It was the second of six Chapel cars that were built for the American Baptist Publication Society in the 1890s and early 1900s,” said Harnett. When the Chapel rail car arrived, Rev. Blinzinger and his family came

to Fort Lupton to lead the church to preach the gospel message. Harnett said, “his purpose for coming was to bring the message of God’s love and grace to the families in the town of Fort Lupton and the surrounding area.” The news spread within the community about the Chapel and over thirty-one members started to

attend Sunday Services. On March 13, 1921, is when the First Baptist Church of Fort Lupton was established. From rail car to foundation

CHURCH FROM PAGE 18

on First and Mckinley with the help of a local bank. The basement was dug with shovels and several large horses pulling a slip and it was completed in December of 1921. It was the beginning of 100-years serving decades of members. For many years the church services were held in the basement. Then in 1934, the upper part of the building was constructed which expanded for more room for Sunday service and a Fellowship Hall. During the school session, it provided extra space for the school to have use of a classroom. The first annual Thanksgiving dinner was held at the church in 1943. Also, the church received money donations to maintain the church’s annual expenses. The farmers who work all year did not receive income for their work until late fall. “Members had a real joy in getting together, enjoying a meal that brought extra special food prepared by loving hands of good cooks. Hearty laughter could always be heard in the church kitchen,” said Harnett. The church continued to increase with members after World War II. Also, the

First Baptist Church merged with Crossroad Church-God. The church today at Rollie Avenue and State Highway 52.

Sunday school was growing too. The congregation needed to expand so there was an available house located north of the church. It was purchased for the additional classrooms. With members increasing the church needed more space. Harnett said, “Three men offered to have an auction to sell whatever the members and others could donate to start a building fund for a new larger church. It was a success. The leaders of the church accepted the proposal but only when a site could be purchased without any debt.” Every Thanksgiving the building fund continued to grow with money donations. Three years later, the leadership hired an architect to design a building constructed

with a handicap accessible ramp on a property that was purchased on the corner of Rollie and State Highway 52. The walls are raised

Church member John Martin accepted the contract. Martin’s employee and numerous church members when available helped with the building. Harnett said there were two notable senior members Artie Schuyler and J.C Warner who were committed to working on the site every day. Warner hired Mr. Spurlin a carpenter who also worked on the construction. “These men were visible and obvious, both were neither, but it seemed all were sacrificially involved from the oldest to the youngest,”

said Harnett. On June 13, 1976, the first wall was raised and connected to the foundation and on May 1, 1977, it was completed. The congregation had a celebration and parade with the remembrance of the old church and to honor the new church. Rev. Tom Hiltsley and his wife Dee moved a time capsule from the old church that was placed into the rock wall of the new church. The time capsule is a metal box containing 100-years of significant documents and artifacts. It’s going to be opened on the church’s hundredth-day celebration. “The culmination of the construction and the move

to the new building was the service of dedication on October 27, 1977,” said Harnett. The church has continued to grow through the decades offering community services, Sunday school for children, classes for adults, and seniors. Also, they teach vacation bible in summer and holiday programs such as scripture, drama, song, and dance. As of January of 2012, First Baptist merged with Crossroads Church-God. The church will continue being involved with the community events such as the annual Easter egg hunt, trapper days, free chili day, and the Truck or Treat for Halloween.

Eagle Ridge’s Lauridson commits to McPherson BY RYAN DUNN SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA

Eagle Ridge Academy star point guard Macey Lauridson signed her national letter of intent to play for McPherson College in Kansas on Feb. 18. Lauridson, a four-year varsity player, leads the Warriors with a career-high 11.5 points per game scoring average. The McPherson College Bulldogs compete in the NAIA Kansas Collegiate Athletic Conference and are coached by Josh Nichols. Warriors head coach Keith Casey came to Eagle Ridge Academy the same year Lauridson did, making her his first four-year player. Casey said that while he is proud of Lauridson for moving on to play at the next level, she will be deeply missed at Eagle Ridge, where she earned the nickname “the devil” for her tenacious, no-holds-barred style of play. “It’s a huge honor,” said Casey. “At the same time, it’s saddening because I won’t have her here next year. For four years I’ve been calling her ‘my devil.’ I’m losing my devil this year.” Lauridson’s Eagle Ridge career has not been free of obstacles. She broke her leg three games into her sophomore season but battled back in time to be a part of the Warriors’ playoff run. Last year as a junior, she cut her chin open during a game and had to get medical attention but returned for the game’s closing sec-

onds and led the Warriors to victory. Persistent on and off the court, Lauridson swiftly brushes off adversity, stating that for her, overcoming injuries are just part of being a team player. “Going through all of that – breaking my leg and all of that – it was difficult for me,” said Lauridson. “But I knew that I still had to be there for my team, and I had to make sure that they were doing OK

through it. I got over it, and then it was all better.” Lauridson said she chose to play at McPherson because she believes she will be a good fit in Nichols’ system, and she likes the school’s small class sizes. An accomplished farmer, Lauridson will be able to continue that pursuit in Kansas as well because her family has land in the Sunflower State. She said farming taught her valu-

able lessons about working hard and doing things right – values she’s applied to basketball as well. “[Farming] teaches you that you always have to work hard,” said Lauridson. “You have to do things in a certain amount of time, and you have to do them right. If you don’t do them right, something bad could happen. You always have to do what you need to do, and if you can’t, you have to work at it to be better.”

Northglenn basketball rides defense to win over Adams City BY ADAM HOTHERSALL SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA

Northglenn sophomore Bryan Dykstra converts the layup Feb. 23 against Adams City. PHOTO BY ADAM HOTHERSALL

Two young teams starving for a conference win faced off Feb. 23. Northglenn (2-8, 1-5 in conference), behind a stellar defensive effort, took down Adams City, 47-40. Taking a 5-2 lead halfway through the opening frame, Adams City didn’t lead again the rest of the evening after four straight points from the home team in less than 20 seconds. The under-sized Norsemen created turnovers and got out in transition to spark their offense a large portion of the night behind sophomores Bryan Dykstra, Mekhi Jourdan, Aiden Nix, and Des McFarland. “I am really excited for this group of young players,” Northglenn coach Kevin Knudson said in an email after the game. “We have a tremendous sophomore class with a lot of potential. They are getting quality minutes that will pay dividends in the future. We are missing another sophomore, Cam Lovato, due to injury who will be added to this group hopefully in the summer. We don’t get many classes like this at Northglenn, so we have to make it count. We may be taking some lumps now. But if they put in the work, we could be a really tough team the next two years, and that is always exciting.” Taking a six-point lead to the end of the first, Northglenn kept the pressure on the Eagles in the second frame with help from their bench, and the defensive effort of senior

Roberto Ortiz and juniors Ahmon Weinand and Atiir Manil. Taking a night-high lead of 13 points with 2:56 left in the quarter, boxing out and fighting on the boards sent Northglenn into the half with a lot of momentum. “That has been an emphasis all year,” Knudson of his team’s rebounding. “We know we are going to be small, so we must learn how to box out, scratch and claw for every rebound, and every loose ball. That has been Northglenn basketball for years, something that this group is still learning to do every single minute of every game.” However, despite controlling most of the first half, Adams City came out with a different attitude to begin the third, going on a 7-2 run to cut the Northglenn lead to 32-29. Flying around the court and forcing turnovers, Northglenn took a punch from the Eagles, but they didn’t fold in their quest to keep their lead going to the fourth at 36-29. A 9-6 run in the first three minutes and 45 seconds of the final quarter, pushed the lead to nine for the Norse. They never looked back. “It was nice to see some resiliency from my team. That is something I’ve been wanting to see from them. It shows growth,” Knudson said. “When things aren’t going their way, can we be tough mentally and stay together and fight? Late in the third quarter, I finally found five guys that committed to flying around on the defensive end and were doing all the SEE NORTHGLENN, P23

Severance’s vaunted offense too much for Riverdale Ridge BY RYAN DUNN RDUNN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The Severance Silver Knights walloped the Riverdale Ridge Ravens 75-33 at Riverdale Ridge High School on Feb. 26. Severance’s balanced attack proved to be too much for the Ravens, as the Silver Knights took a 36-18 lead into halftime and never looked back. Four players scored in double digits for the Silver Knights, including junior Kelsey Koza, who recorded a game-high 19 points. Senior guard Thalia Guardiola led the way for the Ravens with 12 points and eight rebounds. The tenacious-yet-undersized Ravens struggled on the glass throughout the game, getting outrebounded 6425 by the Silver Knights. Riverdale Ridge Head Coach Tim Jones said the biggest difference in the game was the Raven’s inability to put the ball in the basket for long stretches. The Ravens shot just 13-67 from the field - a lowly 19 percent. “It’s a tough game when you can’t finish plays,” said Jones. “They’re executing, they’re working their butts off, but at the same time we weren’t putting the ball in the basket so it’s a tough game.” The loss drops the Ravens to 4-7

Severance has been a tough out this season, staying competitive in

most of their games and running a bruising offense through junior guard Natalia Puchino, who leads the Silver Knights with 15.9 points per game this season and tallied 17 against Riverdale Ridge. The pick and roll combo of Puchino and junior center Tyne Killip (12 points, ten rebounds) proved to be too much for the Ravens defense, which swarmed persistently on the perimeter but had trouble keeping the Silver Knights out of the paint. Jones said that he expects his team to compete with bigger teams despite their size deficit. The Ravens play a somewhat position-less style of basketball, with many of their more aggressive guards switching onto opponents’ forwards and centers for long stretches. “In our league were kind of undersized and we understand that,” said Jones. “But our grit and out speed should make up the difference and today we weren’t there in that regard.” Jones added that he would like to see the Ravens play with more maturity and patience in the halfcourt going forward, but with such a young team growing pains are to be expected.

little things it takes to win basketball games. So, I rolled with them.” One of those five was Jourdan, who tallied a team-high seven points in the fourth and scored 23 of his teams’ 47 points. Running the offense and leading the home squad with 10 rebounds, the sophomore continues to show flashes of brilliance. “Mekhi has made huge strides in just one year. The future is bright for him in basketball, if he continues to want to get better and keeps working like he is doing now. He has a very high ceiling, one in which I see he could compete for Player of the Year in our conference, and even continue on to the next level. If he continues to commit to basketball, the sky’s the limit, and I don’t say that very often. I often compare him to Jonah Radebaugh (Northglenn alum), who went on to make history up at Northern Colorado. If he works like Jonah did, he could have the same result.” Following Jourdan, McFarland tal-
