Cresting COVID cases causes concerns City mulls economic impact if city services, businesses shuttered again

BY SCOTT TAYLOR STAYLOR@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

With COVID-19 cases rising around Colorado and the country, the city is easing back on efforts to back to normal.

“The city was prepared, in the coming week, to open more facilities and open more activities,” Westminster Chief Financial Officer Larry Dorr said. “What we’ve been doing is slowly opening that valve, and now we’ve stopped opening it.

We haven’t closed it but we’ve kind of paused for a while.”

City Councilors heard reports June 6 from several city officials concerning COVID-19 and it’s spread as well as the impact on the city’s finances. A day later, the city announced that services like canoe and paddle craft access to Standley Lake and indoor recreation facilities, would be delayed due to the disease uptick.

Other city services, like libraries and golf courses reopened in midJune.

“But what has happened in the past couple of weeks, we’ve seen an uptick in cases in both Adams and Jefferson county,” Dorr said. “Plus, we are seeing increasing cases around the country.”

Statistics from Tri-County Health — which covers Adams County — and Jefferson County Health show positive tests increasing since mid-June. Westminster currently has 445 positive cases as of July 10, according to Tri-County Health.

“We believe that pausing is appropriate and we will not reopen Standley Lake,” Deputy City Manager Barb Opie told City Councilors.

“We will delay reopening to a future date, to be determined. We will continue to prepare for reopening so we were ready to move as soon as conditions permit.”

Businesses must refuse customers without masks, Tri-County order says Mask mandate has exceptions for medical, mental health conditions; in effect July 24

Cracking the valve City forecasts from March predicted the local economy would begin to rebound in June as restrictions lifted and stores, bars and restaurants re-opened, what Dorr referred to as the economic “cracking of the valve.”

“We did really well, through the end of June, and we’ve seen a lot of activity,” he said. “Just two weeks ago we were hearing about movie theaters that were going to start reopening, we had heard good things from hospitality and hotels about reopening.”

Plenty of outdoor city services began to reopen in June. The city reopened playgrounds and picnic areas as well as public golf courses,

INSIDE: VOICES: PAGE 10 | LIFE: PAGE 12

skate parks and pickleball courts.

“We’ve reopened municipal court, which does generate revenue, by the way,” Dorr said.

The next phase called for the valve city services to crack open a bit wider in July. That won’t happen now, and Dorr said the city is watching local sales to see what’s going to happen.

“We have been watching how this has affected other states and their economy,” Dorr said. “We’ve seen them delay allowing people to eat indoors at restaurants or they’ve been requiring them to close again.

So we’ll be watching out state government related to those kinds SEE COVID, P4

A local public health agency will mandate masks in public indoor spaces, and outdoors where people can’t remain 6 feet away from others, beginning July 24, but the order includes a long list of exceptions.

It also requires businesses to refuse customers who aren’t wearing masks, and those who don’t comply could have their business licenses suspended or revoked.

The order was approved July 8 by the Tri-County Health Department Board of Health, the agency that oversees Adams, Arapahoe and Douglas counties.

Counties and municipalities can optout of the order by July 23, and Douglas County’s elected leaders announced plans on July 9 to opt out.

Where order applies Under the order, people must wear a face covering if they are: • Outdoors and unable to maintain a distance of 6 feet from those who are not members of their household.

• In any indoor location where members of the public are generally allowed.

• Waiting for, riding on, driving or SEE MASKS, P7

Adams 12 class of 2020 gets to march District sets stripped-down ceremonies for high school grads July 20-28 STAFF REPORT

After virtual graduations via computer and one at drive-in, Adams 12’s class of 2020 will get a chance to march.

“There are all the parts they’ve missed, and we want to give them that opportunity,” said Lee Peters, the executive director of high schools for the Adams 12 School District. “They want to march, they want to hear their names called and they want to walk across that stage. That’s what we’re going to try to offer them.”

The school district will host live, in person graduations for its seven high schools at 10 a.m. daily July 20 through 24 and July 27 and 28 at the Five Star Stadium, 9351 Washington St. Each ceremony is scheduled to last about an hour.

“Much shorter and stripped down,” he said. “They’ll have the procession in, they’ll sit six-feet apart from each other and they’ll get a chance to walks across the stage.”

It’s been a strange year, especially for those scheduled to graduate this spring. Most found the final two months of their high school career cut short when the the COVID-19 pandemic began to spread and the schools transferred from in-person classes to remote learning via online video services.

Adams 12’s graduations so far have been largely virtual affairs, going up online at digital video services Youtube.and Vimeo. Each video offered speeches and presentations from school principals, Superintendent Chris Gdowski and the class salutatorians and valedictorians as well as performances by school chorale groups.

“They’ve already had their virtual graduations,” Peters said. “That’s when they got to hear the speeches and listen to the musical performances.

This won’t have those, except for few short remarks.”

School nutrition manager honored by national group STAFF REPORT

The woman in charge of feeding students at three Adams 12 schools has been recognized for her work, earning the title of Southwest Manager of the Year by the non-profit School Nutrition Association.

Christi Brown, multi-site kitchen manager for Adams 12’s Silver Hills Middle School, Westview Elementary School and Independence Academy, earned the honor for her work improving the nutritional program at the three schools.

The award is considered the highest honor a school nutrition manager can receive and recognizes cafeteria managers who have demonstrated dedication and ingenuity to improve their school meal programs.

Nominations began before COVID-19 forced school closures and saw districts —including the Adams 12 district —offer pick-up programs for students. However, Brown’s work after the COVID closures began was also recognized by the association.

“As a cafeteria manager, Christi Brown not only serves as a leader to her staff, but fosters a positive, welcoming environment in the cafeteria for her students,” association President Gay Anderson. “While giving back to the community, she also promotes the wonderful initiatives in her district’s Child Nutrition Program.”

According to a press release from the association, she was the first kitchen manager to pass the School Nutrition Specialist exam and creating lesson plans to help staff members prepare and gain their certification.

Brown was called out for celebrating the successes of her staff and students, according to the release.

She holds quarterly breakfast events for students who excel in academics and invites community members to celebrate with them.

She has developed initiatives to better serve the children most as risk of missing school meals and created a “Bag-A-Breakfast” program, helping up to 50 students daily to get breakfast.

Westminster asks residents for ideas City crowdsourcing fixes for COVID-19, other issues STAFF REPORT

Westminster city officials say no idea is off the table as they ask residents for help in a campaign to fix COVID-19-related problems going forward.

“We believe every resident has important suggestions for us to consider, whether it’s related to the health of our community or other another challenge. We invite each person to suggest as many ideas as he or she wants,

of economic activities. Closing those would significantly recast what we have been expecting to happen.”

There have been economic bright spots, Dorr said. Grocers and liquor stores did well early in the COVID-19 business closures and stay-at-home orders. Once those orders began lifting, peoples’ buying patterns showed them wanting to get away, but stay socially distanced.

“We didn’t expect sales of RVs and sales of sporting equipment would increase and be as strong as they’ve been,” Dorr said. “People have been buying bicycles and hiking and camping gear and all manner of out-

and in turn, we will review each idea with careful intent,” said Gregg Moss, the City of Westminster’s innovation coordinator.

Residents are asked to register a valid email address at https://cityofwestminster.ideascale.com/ to begin.

Once registered they can submit their ideas and vote on their favorite ideas that others have submitted.

The site is open through July 24. A link is also available at www.cityofwestminster.us, the city’s website.

“The City’s promise during this campaign will be to elevate the prioritized ideas we receive to a team of innovators who will help design solutions and work with City leader-

ship to potentially budget the financial resources needed to implement them,” Moss said.

Residents can check the city’s website to see if a particular challenge is being discussed and what solutions currently being considered.

Suggestions should be as specific as possible about why a certain challenge is important for the City to address.

Suggestions should also consider budgetary impacts and potential partner organizations the city could work with.

A team of from the city staff will work with City of Westminster administration and City Councilors to consider costs and other financial

resources needed to make the the project work. Final recommendations may be included in the proposed 2021 budget. Work on the city’s budget for 2021 began in June, with a report due to the City Council in August.

“The Policy and Budget Department is looking forward to finding an additional way to engage the community and invite feedback about the budget,” said Westminster’s Chief Financial Officer Larry Dorr. “This new initiative is designed to establish a feedback system that is inclusive, realistic about expectations, and produces actionable results that can be communicated easily and transparently back to the community.”

doors stuff, and that’s been slightly more favorable.”

Westminster implemented a hiring freeze on all but essential personnel — police and fire staff — but has not had to furlough or lay off any city employees.

“We can continue mowing the lawns and running the signal lights and responding to 911 calls,” he said. “We are maintaining all of our services without furloughs and we needed to make sure we have enough cash on hand to make payroll.”

That meant tapping into the city’s reserves, of about $32 million. So far, Westminster has used about $6 million from the reserves.

“We anticipated a significant return to economic activity in July, and it appears now that is less and less likely each day,” Door said.

Now, Dorr said the city needs to

watch carefully in case COVID’s spread worsens and state government and local necessity force the valve to close.

“We did not anticipate that bars would be re-closed by the governor, and that was a regression in terms of economic activity,” Dorr said.

“That’s something we need to contemplate.”

Regressing could also force the city to close it’s the few revenue generating activities that are open, like the public golf courses. That would add to the city’s economic woes, he said.

“We are open now with social distancing in place and all sorts of other workarounds, but are already forecast a seven-figure drop in golf activities and revenues for 2020 and that’s provided there is not a worsening of caseloads and we see the courses closed.”

Councilors had different reactions. Councilor Anita Seitz warned against letting a growing outbreak ruin what has recovered so far.

“Obviously, we don’t want to spread doom and gloom, but we want to make sure we have a healthy business community,” Seitz said. “And I very nervous about the ability of our local businesses to weather a massive regression. So we want to watch all of this carefully to do what we can to prevent transmission while we support local businesses that are open.”

Councilor David DeMott warned against being too cautious.

“I’ve heard from the business community that they want us to advocate for them, not just to stopping the spread but not being so cautious we are not allowing people to survive this,” DeMott said.

Westminster slates charter vote in 2021 COVID-19 financial concerns ‘We have so much uncertainty we are dealing with, convince councilors to wait we are weighing priorities of all different kinds.’ on crucial vote

Councilor Jon Voelz

BY SCOTT TAYLOR STAYLOR@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Voters will get to weigh in on how future City Councilors are elected and how the city is divided up, but not until November 2021.

Councilors discussed putting an advisory question on this November’s municipal ballot, asking residents find the city should be divided into several wards or voting districts. Supporters of the idea said it’s been a consistent question they’ve heard from voters they’ve talked with during past campaigns.

“The discussions over the last month have been really to call the question, is there a desire in the city to have wards or district’s looked at, in some aspect,” Councilor David DeMott said. “My preference would be to let people ask that question.”

But a majority of City Councilors suggested now is not the time for a vote, citing concerns with municipal finances while the city works or recover from COVID-19 and five months of inhome quarantines and closed business.

“I want to make it very clear that I am not against putting a ballot issue forth, that proposed wards. I think it’s a great idea,” Councilor Katherine Skulley said. “I just don’t think the the timing is now, I would be willing to consider a vote now to do it, with this delayed action of proposing a 2021

election.”

The majority agreed with Skulley, saying the question was important but the timing was wrong.

“We have so much uncertainty we are dealing with, we are weighing priorities of all different kinds,” Councilor Jon Voelz said.

Councilor Anita Seitz pointed out the city has not contemplated making a change as all encompassing since the current charter was adopted in 1958.

“So this is something we do very rarely and it has to be done with a high level of care and a high level of thought,” Seitz said. “I will never have to run in a Ward or district. I’ve run twice for council, so it will not effect me personally. But I do feel a very heightened sense of responsibility to leave the institution of Westminster government better than I found it. I just want to make sure that if we do this, we do it with thought and intention and care and we set up future generations in our community that works.”

Westminster City Councilors and the Mayor are currently all elected at-large to four year terms. That means that all residents can vote on all City Council seats.

Most neighboring cities have Wards

or Council districts , with councilors elected to represent individual areas and neighborhoods. Westminster’s critics note that no City Councilors live in the southern part of Westminster, although Councilor Jon Voelz made it clear he does live south of 104th Avenue.

Mayor Herb Atchison said he does not consider this question of wards to be important now, and said he’s heard from very few residents on the matter.

By definition, at-large City Councilors represent every area and neighborhood of Westminster, meaning no part of the city is without a voice in city politics.

“I want to remind this council that ever member is elected at-large, and you represent the entire city,” Atchison said. “So if you think you don’t representing a portion of the city, then I suggest you get on board and start representing them.”

If not now, when?

Three councilors, DeMott, Rich Seymour and Lindsey Smith, said that question of wards is important and deserved to be settled soon. Seymour said.

“It’s important for us to do the business of the city and business of the people,” Seymour said. “This is a

critical question for us to bring before them. And if we don’t do it now, then when?”

But Seitz said the city is dealing with a wide range of issues currently, from the COVID-19 economic recovery to new rules for police.

The current plan set aside $60,000 to pay for an advisory vote this fall, but Seitz said that city was not prepared to handle what comes afterwards. She argued for hiring a consultant to help the city draw up fair voting districts and help rewrite the city’s charter.

Even scheduling the vote would require staff to take on a different set of tasks.

“We have finite dollars, so it’s hard to evaluate this without having an estimate of what a consultant would cost, how much legal assistance would cost, how much a facilitator would cost,” Seitz said. “I may be making this a bigger deal than it is, because I am surmising. The $60,000 is the first phase, putting it on the ballot.”

City Councilors agreed that the question of having wards deserved a vote, and most agreed with Skulley’s to plan it off for a year. Even Councilor DeMott, who wants a vote as soon as possible, said that delay would give councilors time to write a good ballot question.

“I’d still prefer this year, but if you are not going to do it this year I will support what Councilor Skulley is proposing — just so it gets done,” he said.

“But what we need to be clear about, the direction is staff needs to come back with a question that’s more clear and we need to work on something that’s concise that will be about what voters will be voting on.”

Well-meaning children, may prevent their parents from moving forward with a transaction that would truly benefit them. Don’t let misinformation about reverse mortgages stop you from getting the financial freedom you deserve. Speak with a Reverse Mortgage Specialist to get the facts you need to make an informed financial decision.

Objection #1: “Mom, the bank will own your home!” Actually, a reverse mortgage is just a loan and Mom never gives up the title to her home.

Objection #2: “But Dad, there will be no inheritance for us kids!” Children do not realize that the property can be left to any hiers. With new safeguards

(including lower lending limits and reduced mortgage insurance costs), the loan balance grows more slowly, allowing the heirs to decide to refinance or sell the home and keep the remaining equity.

Seniors have worked all their lives to provide for their families. Rather than struggling financially in retirement, they can unlock the equity in their home, access tax-free money and enjoy a more secure life in their golden years.

Polis urges ‘summer without parties’ as COVID-19 climbs ‘Wear a damn mask,’ governor urges Coloradans

On the heels of more data showing COVID-19 on the rise in his state, Gov. Jared Polis still scraped up a hopeful if worried tone in pushing Coloradans to turn the trajectory around.

And he kept up the baseball metaphor he has used to convey where Coloradans stand — but this time he cast them as losing their grip on the game.

“We’re in the sixth inning, and we’re actually down by a run here to the virus,” Polis said at a July 9 news conference. “It’s 6-5, the virus is beating us, but we’ve got runners on the corners and no outs. So, you know, we’re not down 10-to-zero like they are in Texas or Arizona. We’re down, and we just need to play ball here.”

Clinging to the hope that Colorado won’t end up with a dire spike of COVID-19 like those two states — which have pointed to socializing at bars and nightclubs as a major source of their recent outbreaks — Polis pushed for more mask-wearing but stopped short of saying he’d favor a mandate, again banking on public buy-in rather than leaning on tighter restrictions.

“If you’re somehow waiting to wear a mask until the governor tells you to, I hope you’ve heard that I’m telling you to. And if I haven’t been clear, I’m telling you to wear a mask: Wear a damn mask,” Polis said.

“If you’re somebody who wants to do the opposite of what the governor says, you should wear a mask because the data shows that that’s the best way to save a trillion dollars for our (country’s) economy, reduce unemployment, and protect your own life and the life of your loved ones.”

‘Don’t cost the economy’ Such was the amped-up and sometimes biting tone that colored Polis’ latest ask of Coloradans to turn the ship around on the pandemic.

Following an uptick in the state’s coronavirus’ spread since mid-June, Colorado’s “R naught” — the average number of infections generated by each COVID-19 case — is now above one, Polis said, meaning Colorado’s progress is reversing. If the number sits below one, the number of new cases per day is declining.

The governor directly addressed Coloradans who are in their teens, 20s and 30s, remarking that “this is the summer of no parties” and suggesting they socialize by having a few friends over or going outdoors in a group.

To avoid more restrictions on people’s freedoms, young Coloradans may need to go without parties into the fall, too, he added.

“Don’t put your own life and the lives of your friends in jeopardy,” Polis said. “And if you don’t care about the lives of yourself and friends, please don’t cost the economy (a cut in activity) and jobs, even your own job.”

Under Colorado’s safer-at-home phase of social distancing, gatherings of more than 10 people in public and private are prohibited, except in certain settings such as day camps and recreational sports teams. Houses of worship also may hold larger numbers of people with at least 6 feet between individuals or household groups.

Colorado’s uptick, like major spikes in other states, is largely among the younger demographic and may be attributable to bars and nightclubs and

potentially to public protests, Polis has said.

Polis announced June 30 that Colorado was closing its bars and nightclubs, and the governor estimated bars are likely closed in 70% of the state. Due to local variations in social distancing rules that the state has granted, bars could remain open in some counties, and bars with full-service kitchens or those that provide food from a neighboring restaurant or food truck were able to keep operating in general.

The governor still urged people over 65 to “take extraordinary measures” to protect themselves, citing his parents, who are in their 70s, continuing to stay home as an example.

Leaving masks local Asked why he’s leaving mask-wearing mandates to local leaders, Polis argued the state has “minimal ability” to enforce a mask order but said he hasn’t ruled it out as an option.

Coloradans shouldn’t just wear a mask for fear of a fine but should “wear one because you might save your life. You also might save your job.

You might save your stock portfolio.

You might keep your local businesses open,” Polis added.

Polis praised that more than half the state’s population, upwards of 60%, has a mask-wearing requirement in their local jurisdiction.

That figure was to change after Douglas County announced July 9 that it would move to opt out of its local health department’s mask mandate.

Despite the about-face in the pandemic’s trajectory in Colorado, the state moved ahead with allowing counties to move to its third phase of social distancing, the “protect our neighbors” framework.

The state on July 7 released a form to allow counties to apply to qualify for the new framework of social distancing, according to a news release by the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment. The first two phases were the stay-at-home and current safer-at-home orders.

Once counties meet certain criteria, submit a plan to mitigate COVID-19 surges and are approved by the state, they can permit activities at 50% of pre-pandemic capacity “across all sectors,” with at least 6 feet between non-household members and no more than 500 people in one setting, according to the state’s framework.

Because cases are increasing in many counties throughout the state, most will not yet be eligible to apply, according to the release.

Counties must submit letters of support from hospitals, local public health agency directors, county commissioners, sheriffs, police departments, mayors, emergency managers and, if applicable, local tribes.

They also must meet the following standards: • Stable or declining COVID-19 hospitalizations or fewer new cases in the past two weeks.

• The local public health agency’s ability to test 15 people per 10,000 residents per day and to conduct contact tracing for at least 85% of assigned cases within 24 hours, and strategies to offer testing to close contacts of outbreak-associated cases, among other planning.

• Hospital ability to meet needs of all patients and handle the surge in demand for intensive hospital care, including the capacity to manage a 20% surge in hospital admissions and patient transfers and having two weeks of personal protective equipment available).

Tri-County Board of Health voted July 8 to put in place a mandatory face covering order, citing concerns over the steady increase of coronavirus cases over the past few weeks in the three county area.

The order will be put in place soon for Adams, Arapahoe, and Douglas Counties for 90 days, but local governments do have the option to opt-out.

The order came in response to an increase in positive tests for the pandemic virus. As of July 8, Adams County had 4,581 positive cases.

TCHD Board of Health voted to require the wearing of face coverings for all residents in public places. More information will be provided when the order takes effect. Face coverings can include masks, shields, and various types of cloth face coverings.

House District 34 Republican leaders pull support for their general election candidate

BY MARIANNE GOODLAND COLORADO POLITICS

The House District 34 Republican Central Committee announced recently it would not support the winner of the June 30 primary, Republican Mark Bromley of Northglenn.

The July 3 announcement cited Bromley’s threats against fellow Republicans and other candidates, and his “abject failure to exhibit beliefs that are consistent with the Republican platform, along with his indecent means of doing so.”

Those threats and other comments came through a series of now-deleted Facebook posts in which Bromley called a home-schooling parent “Home Hitler.”

Evan Underwood, chair of the HD34 committee, told Colorado Politics that he had attempted to help Bromley with his campaign, and Bromley

responded by asking for Underwood’s Social Security number. Underwood said Bromley wanted it for a background check.

But it’s the Facebook posts, obtained

by Colorado Politics, that has Republicans in this Adams County district most disturbed, and it has led to a fight between Bromley and homeschool parents across the country.

Bromley defeated Audrey Herman in the June 30 primary by 15 percentage points. He accused other Republicans running for the seat during the assembly process of being Democrats. He also accused the Adams County GOP of leaving out some of his information during the assembly.

He will face Democratic Rep. Kyle Mullica of Northglenn in the November general election.

The district has an interesting history: it was represented for 41 days in 2018 by Republican Rep. Alexander

“Skinny” Winkler, who later lost by nearly 20 points to Mullica in the fall election. Winkler was chosen by an HD34 Republican vacancy committee when Democratic Rep. Steve Lebsock was kicked out of the General Assembly over sexual harassment allegations and at the last minute changed his party registration to Republican.

Bromley’s Facebook posts accuse home-schooling parents of being incompetent to teach.

In a post, after being told he had picked a fight with home-school parents that he couldn’t win, Bromley replied that “people chose to learn or they chose never to learn. Your choice, but losing to people who choose to remain closed minded isn’t a fight, it’s just a lost cause. We’ll have to see if Helen Keller is available for you.”

Bromley also retweeted a debunked post made by Republican Rep. Dave Williams of Colorado Springs that

claimed that the George Floyd protests at the state Capitol were intended to launch an effort by Democrats to murder Republicans.

The HD34 central committee statement said they will work with the Adams County Republican Central Committee to “aid the slate of other candidates who adhere to the party platform and intend to unify our efforts of defending conservative values.”

Bromley has so far raised only $5 for his election effort, money from his own pocket.

Bromley has not yet returned a request for comment.

VOICES

Plenty of questions for a hard-knock summer

or us Broadway musical lovers, we know the musical refrain of “Summer CROSS time and the living is easy” from CURRENTS George Gershwin’s Porgy and Bess.

Well, this year living is anything but easy.

We have all of the issues, impacts and concerns with the Coronavirus — which isn’t going away — mixed in Bill Christopher with record unemployment that is impacting many people who can’t pay their rent or make their mortgage

payments, plus a lack of racial equality with its various situations and increased unrest, a highly polarized Presidential race and the basic issue of daily uncertainty in the times in which we are living.

So, while I still love the song “Summer time”, I will have to set it aside this year and hum along to “It’s a Hard Knock Life” from “Annie.”

Majority of council say “no” to 2020 ballot question Speaking of uncertainty, the majority voting block on the Westminster City Council cleared up one thing for 2020. There will not be any effort by the city to seek the public’s input on what their thoughts are on whether

to pursue looking at alternative ways to elect the six city councilmembers such as a combination of wards or districts and at-large.

On yet another 4-3 vote, the council decided to drop the advisory question for 2020.

However, if Sietz, Skulley, Voelz and Atchison are true to their word, the advisory question will be on the 2021 ballot. At least that is what they committed to in the July 6 study session discussion.

Regardless of their reasoning not to go forward this year, I for one thank them for recognizing the importance of obtaining this input. Previously, DeMotte, Seymour and Smith had supported seeking the public’s input in

2020 so it should be a 7-0 vote next year.

Financial argument against advisory ballot question One of the reasons cited by both city council members and staff for not moving forward on the advisory question was financially related. I think that argument is a “red herring.”

I would estimate that the ballot question would cost the taxpayers roughly $50,000-$60,000 either this year or next year. This compares to a total 2020 General Fund budget of $141,625,399.

I would note that this total budget figure was before the impacts of the Coronavirus started impacting city SEE CHRISTOPHER, P11

Comedy reached heights when ‘Airplane!’ took off

S LETTER TO THE EDITOR Don’t buy Gardner’s ‘green’ pose Cory Gardner is attempting to “greenwash” his reputation to improve his chances for reelection in 2020; however, Gardner’s voting record and unwavering support of Donald Trump tells a different story.

Gardner is a classic sycophant who has prioritized political allegiance to Trump Republicans over representing his Colorado constituents. Coloradans value the environment, clean air, healthy wildlife, public lands, and clean water. Gardner votes with Donald Trump 96% of the time, which includes Trump’s anti-environmental agenda.

With Gardner’s support, Trump has blocked efforts to mitigate climate change, gutted Clean Water Acts that protect drinking water for millions of Americans, weakened the Endangered Species Act, slashed funding for the Land and Water Conservation Fund, and has

overseen the largest reduction of public lands in American history.

The League of Conservation Voters, which monitors legislators’ votes, gave Gardner a paltry 11% for his lifetime voting record on supporting environmental issues.

Like his mentor Donald Trump, Gardner is asking Coloradans to believe what he says, not what he does. Gardner’s deference to Trump’s agenda is dangerous to the environment and the people of Colorado.

Colorado voters should remove Cory Gardner from the Senate in November and elect John Hickenlooper as Colorado’s senator. Hickenlooper’s environmental philosophy aligns more closely with those of his Colorado constituents. He will better represent Colorado; the people, the environment, and the values.

urely, you have seen “Airplane!”

(Exclamation mark theirs.)

If not, it’s a 1980 film filled with visual and verbal gags that features Leslie Nielsen, Peter Graves, Robert Stack, Lloyd Bridges and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar on a seemingly doomed airplane whose pilots and navigator are sickened by fish dinners.

QUIET In 2010, “Airplane!” was DESPERATION chosen by the Library of Congress for preservation in the National Film Registry, a big deal for any film.

Directors David Zucker, Jim Abrahams, and Jerry Zucker were wise to choose actors like Nielsen, Graves, and Stack who were not Craig Marshall known for comedy. Their Smith dramatic role resumes provided legitimacy to the inane dialogue.

Bridges says, “Looks like I picked the wrong week to stop sniffing glue.”

“Airplane!” is a parody of “Zero Hour!” (exclamation mark theirs), a 1957 melodrama that starred Dana Andrews, Linda Darnell, and a college and pro football star with one of the best nicknames in sports: “Crazylegs.” More about him later.

In “Zero Hour!,” former pilot and current passenger Ted Stryker saves the day when the pilot and co-pilot succumb to in-flight fish dinners.

In “Airplane!,” former pilot and current passenger Ted Stryker saves the day when the pilot, co-pilot, and navigator succumb to in-flight fish dinners.

Here are some odd bits about “Airplane!”

The man stranded in the taxi from start to finish was Howard Jarvis, a tax policy activist who was responsible for California’s Proposition 13 enacted two years before the film was made.

The bickering “red zone and white zone”

voice actors were the actual married couple who recorded the announcement information then being used at Los Angeles International Airport.

The role of Ted Stryker was written for David Letterman. Caitlin Jenner, then Bruce Jenner, read for the part.

It was the first comedy role for Nielsen, who was best known for his performance in 1956’s “Forbidden Planet.”

Nielsen’s deadpan doctor role in “Airplane!” is limited but memorable, and surely you know why.

His portrayal made such a strong impression that comedies defined the remainder of his career, including his performances as Sgt. Frank Drebbin in the 1982 “Police Squad!” television series directed by Zucker, Abrahams, and Zucker, as well as “The Naked Gun” film series that came later.

Film critic Roger Ebert referred to Nielsen as the “Olivier of spoofs.”

The humor and wit in “Airplane!” is not for everyone. No comedy is.

The non-stop sight gags include an inflight film of an airplane crash landing and Leslie Nielsen’s nose growing like Pinocchio’s when he announces to the passengers that there was nothing to worry about.

Reporters rush in on Lloyd Bridges in the control room when they find out the plane is in the hands of a passenger. They ask a few questions, then one of them says, “Let’s take a few pictures.”

And that’s what they do. They remove all of the framed pictures on the control room walls. It’s something Chico and Harpo would have done.

Elroy “Crazylegs” Hirsch appears in “Zero Hour!” and in the 1955 prison drama “Unchained,” notable for introducing “Unchained Melody,” later a hit for the Righteous Brothers, among many others.

ave you found yourself talking more to your pets these days than ever before? And if you don’t have pets, have .you found that you are talking to other things around the house more?

Maybe the televiWINNING sion? And if you are not talking to WORDS your pets or things around the house, are you talking to yourself more?

- I know that I have.

And the conversations I am having with my dog have been wonderfully insightful. She has had Michael Norton a lot to say to me as I share my thoughts, concerns, and ideas with her. And I have to tell you, she is a great listener and very smart. Our discussions are nothing short of brilliant.

Now talking to the television is a whole different story. The television

revenues. While the virus is impacting government revenues at the state, county, school district and municipal level, Westminster officials had been quite up-beat about not having to furlough or layoff any employees saying things were looking adequate. Now, all of a sudden, city leaders are indicating revenues are more uncertain.

What is the factual financial picture and share it with the public?

When will public meetings return?

Did you happen to notice that the Denver City Council just switched back from meeting in person to zoom video meetings? Given the disruption they experienced recently in council chambers and outside the building, they said it was necessary to go back to video meetings.

I question the real motive here.

Don’t the people have a right to come and speak and listen and watch? If things become disruptive, don’t they s have adequate police officers to calmly control the crowd?

This leads me to question what municipalities, school boards and boards of county commissioners are doing to start back to meeting in person with a live audience The current video approach, with email comments or recorded questions, falls way short of the dynamics of being in the same room with the elected officials and “seeing the whites of their eyes.”

Have you heard anything from your city government on what they are doing to return to in-person meetings? I doubt it. You know the council or school board or county commissioners cannot simply consider their normal formal meeting room. A city representative told me that social distancing would prevent the city council from meeting in the council chambers and I concur.

However, what about meeting in the Community Room at City Park Recreation Center or other large meeting area where everyone can spread out? Do you get the feeling that the status quo is convenient for city administrations and elected officials along with city halls still closed to the public? I sure do.

Stalled public hearings on new development This issue segues into the question

Who are we talking to? doesn’t really care what I am thinking, feeling, or saying. It tries to control what I am thinking feeling, and saying, but it doesn’t care, and it is a terrible listener. Even when I have yelled at the television, it still never pays attention to me.

And yes, we all do talk to ourselves whether we want to admit it or not. I recognized that I have even been talking to myself more and more lately too. My concern came when I realized what I have been saying to myself, and I picked up on a few areas where I should be spending more time in my positive self-talk conversations, and definitely identified some negative self-talk topics that needed to be dropped immediately.

Let’s deal with the negative self-talk first, as this talk track can be troubling and disruptive. And since we never know what the “next normal,” will be, it can be easy to have troubling thoughts in troubling times.

Thoughts of worry, doubt, fear and scarcity. Those can be very disruptive,

negative thoughts that can eventually lead to lack of sleep, stress, tension, resentment, loss of focus, lack of energy and even anger. I was having some of those conversations with myself, and I experienced some of the feelings mentioned above, including the physical reactions that go along with them.

That’s why I had to end those parts of the discussions immediately.

Positive self-talk is not just flowery affirmations, although sometimes we need those too. Positive self-talk should include conversations around what we can and should be doing.

Whether I am talking to my dog or talking to myself and want to keep it positive, the conversations center around family, friends, opportunity, responsibility, creativity, faith, hope, taking action, what’s next, and what if. The “what if ” discussions are the best. What if I could …? What if together we could …? And then fill in the blanks with as many thoughts and ideas as possible. Now some of my dog’s ideas are crazy, but we have

agreed that we should never criticize each other’s thoughts or ideas, not until we have talked them through together.

In the last couple of columns, I wrote about the “what” part of the discussions we are having lately, and then about how most people love a good story. Today’s focus is on “who” we are talking to, and how important that is when we realize the person doing both the talking and listening, is usually us. And the “what” we are talking about in our own self-talk drives the story we tell ourselves. And that story can shape how we think, speak, and act. Sometimes when we talk to ourselves, we ask questions, and that’s OK too. The question is, do we want our story to be a bad or negative one? Or do we want a good or even great story to tell?

How about you? Who are you talking to these days? How’s the conversation going? And what’s the story being told? I would love to hear all of your answers at mnorton@tramazing.com

of holding public hearings on land development and zoning matters.

Westminster City Council previously made the right call on postponing a public hearing numerous weeks ago on a proposed controversial apartment development in Historic Westminster.

In the meantime, this development and others are dead in the water as far as processing construction plans and pulling building permits assuming they get city council approval. How long can developers wait? Time is money. Plus, construction work moves slower than otherwise because of social distancing. City governments have a responsibility to be responsive in processing plans and holding public hearings in a timely manner.

Again, what is being done to get back to holding face-to-face public meetings?

to be worn when in public.

However, city governments may opt out. Hopefully, all city councils in the District will support the mandate and cause meaningful enforcement to take place.

Bill Christopher is a former Westminster city manager and RTD board member. His opinions are not necessarily those of Colorado Community Media. You can contact him at bcjayhawk68@gmail.com.

Pro sports on shaky ground?

I hate to say this out loud, but I really question if professional sports such as soccer, baseball, basketball and football are going to be able to carry out their abbreviated schedules. Soccer and baseball are off to somewhat of a shaky start with players popping up with the virus.

While I hope they can make it happen, it still is a “half-a-loaf ” without any of us fans watching them in person. It’s another reason this Summer time is anything but easy!

Mandatory mask with enforcement One more question for you.

Why shouldn’t wearing facial masks be mandatory and visibly enforced?

No wonder COVID-19 virus cases are spiraling upward when you see mobs of people not social distancing and not wearing their masks. The crowds shown on TV over Independence Day weekend at the beaches and popular destinations were appalling.

Clearly there are too many people — including Mr. Trump — who are not taking this resurgence of the virus seriously. We know the president won’t mandate and enforce mask wearing out in public, so it must be left to each the states’ governor, top state health officials, local municipalities or local health agencies.

Who is it going to take responsibility before we again overrun our hospitals across America and cause another economic setback? Thankfully, the Tri-County Health Board got the ball partially rolling by mandating masks

Pools reopen amid pandemic challenges

seating apart, prohibiting guests from moving the furniture and working it into staff ’s cleaning routines.

Most pools are holding a series of daily sessions that families can attend, either on a first-come first-serve basis or by reservation. In between sessions, staff deep clean and disinfect the grounds.

Weed said community members have been good at distancing themselves so far, and most sessions are reaching capacity.

Englewood’s Senior Aquatics Facility Supervisor Brad Anderson said the same is true there.

The city’s Pirates Cove waterpark opened June 19 at a capacity of 150 people in a session, although capacity jumped to 250 by July. Sessions require a reservation.

ust because large venues like Red Rocks aren’t hosting performances any time soon doesn’t mean that live music is out for the COMING summer. It just ATTRACTIONS means the shows will have to get more intimate.

This is just what the Lone Tree Arts Center is offering with its Tunes on the Terrace series, making an eagerly hoped-for Clarke Reader return on July 24.

“Knowing that people may be `testing the waters’ as they come back to live performances, we decided to begin with our outdoor concert series and with a small audience in order to make people more comfortable,” explained Lisa Rigsby Peterson, executive director of the arts center in an email interview. “The arts have always had the power to inspire and heal and comfort - and reopening the Arts Center and welcoming people back into our building allows us to be a part of that healing.”

The Lone Tree Arts Center, 10075 Commons St., is kicking off its 2020-2021 season with this popular concert series, which runs through Sept. 12. After being granted permission from the state to reopen at a limited capacity, this year’s series begins with Mary Louise Lee Band, includes Set Sail: A Yacht Rock Experience, Soul-X and Hazel Miller and The Collective, and concludes with Billy and The Downliners.

“We are putting the safety of our staff, our artists, and our patrons at the forefront of all of our planning,” Rigsby said. “We know that we will refine our protocols and procedures as research findings continue to evolve.”

Like everything in a COVID-19 world, this season’s Tunes on the Terrace will look different than any before. According to Rigsby, staff surveyed patrons to learn about what would make them feel the most comfortable returning to the arts center. Based on those responses, two of the most noticeable changes will be that instead of the regular 350 seat capacity, the audience will be limited to 100 people, and masks will be required unless eating or drinking while seated.

Additionally, the chairs and lawn seating areas will all have at least 6 feet of social distancing between parties. The performers will be 25 feet from the audience, and audiences will see visual cues for patrons to help them follow traffic paths through the lobby. Hand sanitizer will be readily available for anyone who needs it.

On July 10, outdoor swimming pool H2O’Brien in Parker was teeming with swimmers.

Parents held up infants bobbing in the water, children stood under the dump bucket, squealing with glee as water crashed around them, and lifeguards walked the pool perimeter keeping a close eye on the scene.

For Tiler Paliga, heading to the pool was a fun and safe way to keep her 2-year-old son Will entertained, she said.

The Parker woman said her family is still avoiding trips to the store or going out during the COVID-19 pandemic, but she appreciated the capacity limits at H2O’Brien pool. She felt she could keep her distance from others while enjoying the outdoors, she said.

“It makes you feel like you have a little bit of normalcy for the summer. I just think it’s important for the kids,” she said.

Parker’s Aquatic Supervisor Brian Gentilini said the pool’s first session reached its COVID capacity of 250 people that morning. Capacity in a normal season would be 521 people, and the pool might get 400 visitors on a day like that in any other season.

“This is what a packed house looks like under the variance,” he said, referring to a variance Douglas County received allowing outdoor gatherings of up to 250 people.

The scene in Parker was a far cry from what Janice Weed feared could come to pass this year.

In May, the aquatics supervisor for the Town of Castle Rock was waiting on guidance from local and state health departments to decide if and

Now, area pools are up and running, albeit with numerous changes in place, she said.

The state Department of Public Health and Environment released new pool guidance in June, allowing facilities to open at 50% capacity or 50 people, and some local communities have received variances that loosen restrictions further.

Pool operators in the Denver metro area described taking many of the same precautions — such as requiring that people wear masks when entering and exiting the facility but not while in the pool. Or, placing markings on the concrete to guide people in staying six feet apart.

Some pools have cleared decks and are asking people to bring their own furniture while others are spacing

Since shutting down in March, the arts center has postponed about 20 concerts and programs, but in May efforts began to offer more community connection through events like virtual concerts and live-streams of its Arts in the Afternoon series. The center has relied on a large base of donors to keep running, and a special online fundraising campaign called Set the Stage has been launched to help.

“We will be welcoming our patrons back and thanking them for their collective commitment to keeping themselves and the entire arts center family as safe as possible,” Rigsby said. “One thing that won’t be at all

different? The fabulous artists and uplifting performances that our audiences will be thrilled to see.”

“We are about filling up every single one of our sessions. Pirate’s Cove has been very popular, so that’s a good thing,” Anderson said.

Anderson said they put up signage throughout the facilities reminding people of social distancing and air reminders on the public announcement system.

In preparation for reopening, Anderson said getting enough cleaning supplies was one of the more challenging aspects. Disinfectant is not readily available, he said.

Supplies needs to be ordered in advance and the city had to order brands of supplies it wouldn’t usually.

Anderson said he was not sure of the exact budget impact, but that “it was a significant cost that we had to come up with for the disinfectant.”

“And we’re not done with it yet,” he said. “We’re in that learning phase right now where now that we’ve been open for three weeks, we’re starting to see that supplies dwindle a bit.”

Anderson said he is glad to see people at the city’s pools — the recreation center’s indoor pool is open for fitness and lap swimming — and to have employees back on the job.

“It’s nice from the kid standpoint, that they’re able to have a summer job, and it also feels good to be able to offer a swimming pool to our community,” he said.

Social distancing was not the only hurdle for local facilities. For some area pools, renovation or construction projects took a blow from the pandemic as well.

The Town of Parker launched a $2.8

Swimmers stand under the dump bucket at H2O’Brien pool in Parker. million renovation of H2O’Brien in 2019. Renovations included replacing the play structure and adding two 182-foot water slides. The project was supposed to wrap up in time to open H2O’Brien by Memorial Day. Instead, the pool opened July 6. Gentilini, Parker’s aquatics supervisor, said the “biggest hit” to the renovation project’s schedule was shipping delays.

New tables got ordered in February but didn’t arrive until early June.

The Texas plant that made the pool’s new shades shut down during COVID. Those arrived days before opening.

New concrete wasn’t poured until mid-June, and the pool’s pump and motor came from Italy.

“We barely got that before Italy shut down,” he said. “In every way possible it delayed. Whether it be subcontractors not being able to bring their full crews to the site, or mostly what it was, was shipping. But you name it, it

affected it somehow.”

Parker’s Director of Parks and Recreation Mary Colton said the project came in on budget, and the town’s team worked passionately to get it done, but for a time the town did not know if the pool would open for the 2020 summer season.

“It’s been quite the challenge to determine our approach to reopening,” Colton said. “We took a lot of time in really planning and evaluating whether or not it would be feasible to open the pool at all this year.”

South Suburban Parks and Recreation also launched major pool construction projects before COVID-19 hit.

The department decided to reconstruct three of its pools — Franklin, Harlow and Holly — after a pool audit in 2017.

limited the size of construction crews that could work at once and the ability to get materials, Assistant Director of Recreation Kelsey Whisler said.

“Factories were shutting down entirely,” she said.

The pools are now slowly opening up.

South Suburban’s Cook Creek pool located in Douglas County was the first to reopen in early June. Harlow opened July 3. Franklin and Holly were slated to open in the near future as well, Whisler said.

While some pools are maxing out pandemic capacities, South Suburban is staying cautious, Whisler said.

Cook Creek allows a capacity of 600 people in a normal season. South Suburban is keeping capacity to 200 on a first-come, first-serve basis for now, although a Douglas County variance allows 250 people.

“Right now, we feel that 200 is at our comfort level,” Whisler said.

Arapahoe County’s variance allows outdoor pools to reopen at 50% capacity, she said, so South Suburban will reopen pools there by reservation. Those are Franklin, Harlow and Holly.

Harlow opened at a capacity of 40 people and South Suburban will raise that to 60 soon, Whisler said. The pool’s capacity without a pandemic would be 160. Whisler said the department did not feel it could gauge how reopening would work until people were in the facility.

Still, she’s glad to see swimmers back at the pool.

“It’s really exciting. Safety, being in parks and recreation, is always a top priority. So that’s at the forefront of our mind,” she said. “But we also want to make sure people have a fun, enjoyable experience too.”

Killer gets life sentence in case from 1980 Slaying of Helene Pruszynski left loved ones with pain for decades

BY ELLIOTT WENZLER EWENZLER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

It has been 40 years since Helene Pruszynski was killed, but for her family and friends, it might as well have been yesterday.

That was the theme of a July 1 sentencing for the man who pleaded guilty to raping and killing the young woman.

Pruszynski was kidnapped Jan. 16, 1980 after getting off an RTD bus in Englewood. The 21-year-old had recently traveled to Colorado from Massachusetts for an internship with KHOW radio. She had dreams of becoming a journalist. The morning after her disappearance, she was found dead in a field in Douglas County.

Deputies from the Douglas County Sheriff ’s Office arrested James Curtis Clanton, 62, in December of last year after cracking the case using genetic genealogy. After he was arrested, he admitted to the crime and pleaded guilty in February.

On July 1, he was sentenced by Douglas County District Court Judge Theresa Slade to life in prison. He has a chance to receive parole after serving at least 20 years, she said.

During the hearing, Pruszynski’s loved ones spoke about the impact the crime had on their lives.

“I cannot find the words to accurately express the pain, the anguish,

Undersheriff Holly Nicholson-Kluth speaks to reporters after the sentencing for James Curtis Clanton on July 1. heartache and deep sadness my family felt that day,” Pruszynski’s sister Janet Johnson said. “As the days and years passed, it never got any easier.”

While some of Pruszynski’s loved ones were able to travel to Colorado for the sentencing, the hearing was conducted virtually due to precautions around the COVID-19 pandemic.

About 80 people joined the virtual courtroom and 13 people testified during the hearing.

“She was deprived of all she may have accomplished. The world was deprived of what she would have contributed to make it a better place.” said Monique Shire, a college friend of Pruszynski’s. “For me, the brutal act of taking her life is unforgivable ... my heart will be forever broken so it will now have to suffice that the person who killed my beautiful friend is finally being brought to justice.”

Many of the testimonies included memories of Helene — her smile, warmth, kindness and the sense of ease that she provided to all who met with her. While every person testifying expressed a deep pain felt from losing Pruszynski, many also spoke about the love and light they still feel from having met her.

“While my heart was broken on the day I heard of Helene’s death and again when I heard the person who took her away from us was captured,” said Rosemarie Bruno, a friend of Pruszynski’s from college, “in the cracks of my broken heart there are bright rays of light and love and joy from Helene that illuminate these spaces of my heart.”

At some points, those testifying spoke directly to or about Clanton.

“For the convicted murderer sitting in his jail cell today, for overpowering and brutally taking the life of a gorgeous, innocent … woman, a very different fate awaits his soul,” said Mike Johnson, a high school friend of Pruszynski’s. “After he eventually dies, instead of being lifted to heaven, he will descend to hell ... good luck with that.”

Throughout the hearing, Clanton frequently wiped away tears, put his face in his hands and showed other signs of emotion. He chose not to speak during the sentencing and instead his lawyer, Daniel Cunny, made a brief statement on his behalf.

“As the years have passed, the sense of remorse Mr. Clanton feels for his act has only increased. In the immediate years following the murder, Mr. Clanton prayed for Ms. Pruszynski and the harm he caused her.” Cunny said. “Mr. Clanton wants Ms. Pruszynski’s family ... to know that he’s sorry, but those words are probably meaningless based on the pain that he caused.”

After hearing the testimonies, Slade

“There’s absolutely no way you can understand or comprehend the pain that has been expressed today,” she said to Clanton. “But I do believe that you are sincere in your regret.”

The judge encouraged Clanton to take his life into his own hands and take any chance possible to do good and be a better person.

“It doesn’t matter that this happened 40 years ago other than the fact that, Mr. Clanton, you did get some form of a life,” she said. “It seems unjust ... what you do with the rest of your life, there are opportunities for rehabilitation.”

She echoed a poem, written by Pruszynski, that a friend of the young woman’s had read during testimony. “`Let us live today with every hopeful promise of tomorrow,’” she said.

“It seems to me, that the way you all have described (Helene) that if she were able to join us today, in spite of what happened to her, she would probably, Mr. Clanton, still be giving you that message.”

In interviews following the hearing, Pruszynski’s family and friends who traveled to Colorado expressed relief at having finished the hearing.

“We’re just so appreciative of everything. It’s been 40 years and they didn’t give up,” said friend Kitsey Snow, about investigators. “Justice would be Helene being here, so it doesn’t even feel like justice. But I’m glad that he is away and not going to hurt anybody else.”

Mines planning on in-person classes in the fall but campus will be different

BY PAUL ALBANI-BURGIO PALBANIBURGIO@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Classes will be held at Colorado School of Mines campus in the fall — but life on campus will still look plenty different.

In a message sent to students and faculty on June 22, School of Mines President Paul C. Johnson and four other administrators outlined plans for the fall semester, which will kick off on Aug. 24 with the school sticking with its planned semester calendar.

Little else, however, will be unaffected by the COVID-19 pandemic, including the way many classes will be delivered. The administrators said Mines will be working with a reduced number of classrooms and lower occupancy limits that have left the school expecting approximately 60 to 70 percent of classes to occur on campus in lecture halls or lab settings with social distancing requirements in place. The remainder of Mines courses will be offered in remote, hybrid or online formats.

Hands-on, project-based and firstyear classes and labs are being prioritized for in-person delivery, while the “needs of faculty” are also being considered. All classrooms are also being outfitted with equipment that will allow all classes to be recorded which Johnson said will allow for “flexibility and eliminate the pressure to attend in-person if you do not feel well or need to isolate or self-quarantine.”

Students wishing to delay their return to campus will also be provided with remote or online course options, according to the statement.

Other hallmarks of campus life will also continue in the fall, but often in a significantly revised form. In May, Mines suspended its on-campus living requirement for first-year students decided to limit occupancy of residence halls to 80% to allow for safe social distancing to be maintained and reserve a substantial number of rooms for possible use for self-quarantine and isolation. Amenities like the dining

halls and student recreation center will also be opened but with capacity restrictions and other safety protocols in place.

Even traditions like the M Climb and Convocation will likely look different as the administrators said the Student Life team is “working hard to ensure our new students enjoy many of the traditional Welcome Week activities with new precautions in place.”

The school is also instituting several health and safety rules, including a requirement cloth masks be worn indoors and “in any setting where it is difficult to maintain social distancing.”

The release also asks students and faculty to commit to the Oredigger Promise — a commitment to adopt the practices and attitudes necessary to safely return to and remain together at Mines.

Tucker Orr, who will be a sophomore at Mines this year, said he is glad the school will be holding some classes in-person given the in-person interaction and hands-on experience that is integral to many classes. But at the same time, he is also glad he and the rest of Mines student community will be able to watch classes online.

“I’m not too worried about going back,” said Orr. “I think we have a pretty good community at Mines and are going to try to help each other out and not get this thing spread all over the place.”

But Justin Pace, who will be starting a graduate degree in Mines this fall after completing his undergraduate there in the spring, said his reaction was decidedly more mixed. Pace said he is concerned outbreaks in the dorms could still be an issue whether the dorms are at 80% or 100% capacity, and also worries campus could still end up being too crowded.

“One of the issues is if people have online classes that take place 10 minutes after an in-person class then 10 minutes isn’t enough time to go home so the same amount of people are going to be on campus,” he said. “So, I feel like most people are going to be on campus and its going to be kind of rough to deal with all the restrictions.

I think a lot of people are stressed out about how education is going to be for the next year.”

The Division Engineer, in accordance with §37-92-401, Colorado Revised Statutes (2019), has compiled the list of absolute water rights that he or she “has determined to have been abandoned in whole or in part and which previously have not been adjudged to have been abandoned.”

A complete list of water rights that have been abandoned, in the opinion of the Division Engineer, may be found on the Division of Water Resources (DWR) website https://www.colorado.gov/water.

If you wish to object to the inclusion of any water right on the Division Engineer’s abandonment list, you must file a written statement of objection with the Division Engineer by July 1, 2021. We request that objections be submitted using DWR’s Abandonment Objection Form, which can be obtained on the DWR website (search keyword “Abandonment 2020”) or from any DWR office.

The Abandonment List, with any revisions made as a result of written statements of objection, will be filed with the Water Court by December 31, 2021. Once the list is adjudged by the entry of a decree by the Water Court, such decree will be conclusive as to the abandonment of the water right.

In the following table, U indicates units of either C=cfs or A=acre-ft. The uses being abandoned are either 'All Uses' indicating all decreed uses of the water right, or the individual uses listed, such as Irr=Irrigation. If any aspect of the decreed place of use is being abandoned, that is indicated by 'Yes' in the Place column.

Section 3. Subsection 8-8-5(D), W.M.C., is hereby AMENDED as follows: 8-8-5. - Service and User Charges Within the City of Westminster and Shaw Heights; Lien on Property. […]

(D) The rates for user charges hereinafter set forth are based generally upon the quantity and quality of sewage collected and they are subject to change periodically as circumstances require. Sewer rates are charged based on the Average Monthly Water Consumption (AWC), which is based on the average monthly water consumption per user billed during the Sewer Rate Calculation Period (January through March). If the water consumption for any month during the AWC calculation period is less than 2,000 gallons, the calculation amount used will be 2,000 gallons. If the water consumption for any month during the AWC calculation period is over 2,000 gallons, the actual water consumption will be used in the AWC calculation process.

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

Sewer Rate Schedule. The monthly sewer charge is calculated by multiplying the AWC times the rate per customer category: Type of Customer Residential Non-residential

201920 Charge per 20201 Charge per 1,000 gallons 1,000 gallons (kgal) (kgal) $6.967.84 $7.84 $7.378.15 $8.15

Any new occupant of an existing property shall be charged the property’s current sewer rate through the AWC Sewer Rate Calculation Period.

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

New commercial accounts shall be charged based on the indoor water service commitments purchased divided by twelve to establish an initial AWC. For all customers, a new AWC will be calculated based on actual usage during the next AWC calculation period.

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

release for said purposes, under the 05CW302 Augmentation Plan. 4. Absolute claim: The County has operated the Clear Creek Mainstem Exchange in priority and diverted water by exchange into storage in Guanella Reservoir in accordance with the 05CW302 Decree numerous times during the diligence period. The County claims herein that a portion of the conditional Clear Creek Mainstem Exchange has been made absolute at a rate of 7.45 c.f.s. based on the exercise of the exchange on June 20, 2019. The County also reserves the right to establish that the Clear Creek Mainstem Exchange was made absolute at a rate equal to or less than the claimed rate on a date prior to June 20, 2019. 5. Diligence claim: The County intends to pursue the full decreed diversion and beneficial use of the conditional portions of the Clear Creek Mainstem Exchanges, including any amount claimed as absolute in this application but not ultimately approved, and the Leavenworth Creek Exchange. The County seeks a determination from the Court pursuant to § 3792-301(4), C.R.S., that it has been reasonably diligent in the development of the subject conditional water rights. 6. Detailed outline of what has been done towards completion of the appropriation and application of water to a beneficial use as conditionally decreed, including expenditures, during the previous diligence period: A. For purposes of § 37-92-301(4)(b), the Clear Creek Mainstem Exchange and the Leavenworth Exchange are part of an integrated system of water rights and structures operated by the County for use of water within Clear Creek County, which system includes reservoirs, exchanges, the 05CW302 Augmentation Plan, and numerous decreed water rights. B. Throughout the diligence period, the County has operated, managed, administered, and maintained accounting for the 05CW302 Augmentation Plan, both for its own purposes and for plan participants who are included in the 05CW302 Augmentation Plan. C. During the diligence period, the County included five new plan participants into the 05CW302 Augmentation Plan. As the number of plan participants increases, the County’s augmentation needs will increase, as will the County’s need to operate the subject exchanges at increasingly higher rates. The County incurred legal and engineering costs and invested staff time and resources to develop, review, and negotiate water lease agreements and inclusion applications required under the 05CW302 Decree. D. The County has participated in numerous regional and statewide water planning efforts. The County participated in South Platte River Basin Roundtable discussions. Certain of the County’s reservoirs were identified in the Colorado Water Plan’s Basin Implementation Plan for purposes of funding studies and construction of certain facilities through the Identified Project and Process. E. The County engaged in water planning efforts during the diligence period, resulting in a Strategic Water Plan. That plan emphasizes the importance of the 05CW302 Augmentation Plan, including the Clear Creek Mainstem Exchange and the Leavenworth Exchange. F. Throughout the diligence period, the County monitored and participated in water quality matters on Clear Creek, particularly as they relate to the development and operation of the County’s integrated system. G. The County has maintained its water rights portfolio during the diligence period, and has applied for and been granted findings of reasonable diligence for water rights and, in certain cases, made absolute water rights in the following reservoirs: Clear Creek Reservoirs No. 2, 3, and 4 (Case No. 16CW3056, entered November 7, 2016); Upper Johnson Gulch Reservoir (Case No. 17CW3007, entered September 14, 2017); Grizzly Gulch Reservoir (Case No. 17CW3115, entered March 1, 2018); Green Lake (Case No. 18CW3184, entered June 25, 2019); and, Leavenworth Reservoirs Nos. 1 and 2 and Bakerville Reservoirs Nos. 1 and 2 (Case No. 19CW3095, entered November 19, 2019). H. The County has continued to install, maintain and upgrade facilities, including but not limited to Green Lake and related facilities. I. The County opposed approximately 15 Water Court applications to protect its water rights during the diligence period. J. The County expended in excess of $548,000.00 for the activities described above during the diligence period. K. The County has a continuing need for the full decreed exchange rates of the Clear Creek Mainstem Exchange and the Leavenworth Creek Exchange, maintains the intent to develop these exchanges, and can and will put the water diverted by these exchanges to beneficial use. The County’s claim for findings of reasonable diligence and continuation of the subject exchanges is not speculative. 7. Name(s) and address(es) of owner(s) or reputed owner(s) of the land upon which any new diversion or storage structure, or modification to any existing diversion or storage structure is or will be constructed or upon which water is or will be stored, including any modification to the existing storage pool: No new structures or modifications to structures are contemplated by this Application. Water is or will be stored on lands owned by the following: i.

Bartlett, Esq.,Fischer, Brown, Bartlett & Gunn, P.C., 1319 E. Prospect Road, Fort Collins, Colorado, 80525, (970) 407-9000. 2. Application: With this Application, the City of Brighton

(hereinafter “Brighton” or “Applicant”) seeks a new underground water right for the Chikuma Well, which structure had a groundwater right originally decreed in Water Division 1 Case No. W-3634 (“Original Decree”). The Original Decree authorizes the use of water pumped from the Chikuma Well for livestock watering and irrigation on approximately 80 acres in the Northwest 1/4 of Section 12, Township 1 South, Range 66 West of the 6th P.M. By this Application, additional uses are being added to the Chikuma Well structure and the originally decreed uses are being maintained, with all uses being augmented under the City of Brighton’s augmentation plan decree in Case No. 2003CW320. The well and decreed location of use are located within Brighton’s future service growth area. However, the currently decreed location of use is outside of Brighton’s current service area and does not include the parks and common areas in the Bromley Park development (located in Sections 10 and 11 of Township 1 South, Range 66 West of the 6th P.M.) which is the location the water right is currently needed for use. Through this Application Brighton seeks a new water right for the Chikuma Well to add uses decreed to the structure within Brighton’s current and future service area. Additionally, since the Original Decree authorizes only irrigation and livestock watering, Brighton is requesting this new water right for all municipal uses, including irrigation. Additionally, Brighton seeks to include the Chikuma Well in its well augmentation plan decreed in Water Division 1 Case No. 2003CW320, pursuant to Paragraph 26.2 of that decree. 3. New Conditional Underground Water Right. 3.1. Well name and permit number. Chikuma Well, WDID 0205697, Permit 13205-R. 3.2. Original decree.

Groundwater tributary to the Beebe Seep Canal within the Beebe Draw, tributary to the South Platte River. 3.5. Depth. 63 feet. 3.6. Appropriation for new conditional right: This appropriation was initiated with the filing of this Application, and therefore the appropriation date is March 20, 2020.

3.7. Amount. 1.90 cfs (853 GPM), to be limited in conjunction with any pumping under the Original Decree. 3.8. Uses for new conditional right. All municipal uses, including irrigation, reuse and successive use within Brighton’s service area, as it exists now and may exist in the future. 3.9.

Uses under the Original Decree. The decreed use of the Chikuma Well in Case No. W-3634 will be maintained and will be augmented as described in this Application. 3.10. Owners of impacted land.

This Application does not involve the construction of any new structures, nor does it involve the modification of an existing structure. 4. Adding Well to the Augmentation Plan Decree in Case No. 20003CW320. The Chikuma Well was augmented through Central Colorado Water Conservancy District’s (CCWCD) Ground Water Management Subdistrict (GMS) augmentation plan decreed in Case No. 02CW335 until December 11, 2019. With this Application Brighton seeks to include the Chikuma Well in its augmentation plan, decreed under Case No. 2003CW320 (Augmentation Plan). 4.1.

Augmentation Plan. Paragraph 26.2 of the decree in Case No. 2003CW320 permits the addition of wells to the Augmentation Plan, “so long as the well is located in the Beebe Draw basin and is operated and used, and out-of-priority depletions are replaced, on terms and conditions at least as restrictive as decreed herein.” 4.2. Location of depletions. Depletions from the Chikuma well impact the Beebe Seep Canal in the Northwest 1/4 of the Northeast 1/4, Section 12, Township 1 South, Range 66 West of the 6th P.M. 4.3. Timing of Depletions. The following aquifer parameters are associated with the Chikuma Well for use with the Glover method in determining the timing of depletions.

Well Name: Chikuma Depletion Reach: D – Beebe Seep Canal X (ft): 2,995.55 W (ft): 4,793.54 T (gal/day/ft): 202,344 S (%): 20 4.4. Past Pumping Depletion Replacement: Pursuant to the Water Court order in Case No. 02CW335, CCWCD will pay the past well depletions, through 2019, for the Chikuma well under the augmentation plan decreed therein. These monthly past pumping depletions were defined in the Water Court order and will continue through January 2021. Brighton will augment well depletions from new pumping of the Chikuma well under its Augmentation Plan beginning in 2020.

WHEREFORE, Brighton respectfully requests a ruling and decree adding the Chikuma Well to the Augmentation Plan decreed in Case No. 2003CW320 and confirming a new, underground water right for the Chikuma Well, which water right Brighton may use for all municipal purposes, including irrigation, within its current and future service area.

Colorado, other states trim health programs amid COVID-19

BY MARKIAN HAWRYLUK Kaiser HealTH NeWs

As a teenager, Paulina Castle struggled for years with suicidal thoughts.

When her mental health was at its most fragile, she would isolate herself, spending days in her room alone.

“That’s the exact thing that makes you feel significantly worse,” the 26-year-old Denver woman said. “It creates a cycle where you’re constantly getting dug into a deeper hole.”

Part of her recovery involved forcing herself to leave her room to socialize or to exercise outside. But the COVID-19 pandemic has made all of that much harder.

“Since the virus started,” she said, “it’s been a lot easier to fall back into that cycle.”

Between the challenges of the pandemic, the social unrest and the economic crisis, mental health providers are warning that the need for behavioral health services is growing.

Across the country, the recession has cut state revenues at the same time the pandemic has increased costs, forcing lawmakers into painful decisions about how to balance their budgets. State legislatures have been forced to consider health care cuts and delay new health programs even in

the midst of a health care crisis. But many lawmakers and health experts are concerned the cuts needed to balance state budgets now could exacerbate the pandemic and the recession down the line.

‘Everything has to be on the table’ In Colorado, for example, lawmakers had to fill a $3.3 billion hole in the budget for fiscal year 2020, which started July 1. That included cuts to a handful of mental health programs, with small overall savings but potentially significant impact on those who relied on them.

They cut $1 million from a program designed to keep people with mental illness out of the hospital and another million from mental health services for juvenile and adult offenders. Lawmakers reduced funding for substance abuse treatment in county jails by $735,000 and eliminated $5 million earmarked for addiction treatment programs in underserved communities. And that’s all on top of a 1% cut to Medicaid community providers who offer health care to the state’s poorest residents.

Some of those cuts were offset by $15.2 million in federal CARES Act funding allocated to behavioral health care programs. But some programs

were completely defunded. Cuts were targeted primarily at programs that hadn’t started yet or hadn’t been fully implemented. The rationale: Those cuts wouldn’t have as deep an impact.

Doyle Forrestal, CEO of the Colorado Behavioral Healthcare Council, which represents 23 behavioral health care providers, worries that resources won’t be there for an emerging wave of people who have developed mental health or addiction issues during the pandemic.

“People who are isolated at home are drinking a lot more, maybe having other problems — isolation, economic despair,” she said. “There’s going to be a whole new influx once all of this takes hold.”

State legislators said they tried to avoid cutting programs that would hamper the response to the pandemic or the economic recovery.

“There was a desire on both sides to do everything we could to protect health care spending in Colorado,” said state Rep. Dylan Roberts, D-Avon.

“But when you’re looking at acrossthe-board cuts, everything has to be on the table.”

And with tax filing deadlines pushed back to July 15, states are unsure how much income tax revenue they will collect.

So in addition to cutting back where possible, states are raiding discretionary funds — Colorado repurposed money from the tobacco settlement and marijuana taxes — to shore up their budgets. States are also tapping rainy day funds, which, according to the National Association of State Budget Officers, grew to record levels after the 2008 recession.

New policies delayed Overall, at least 43 states have made some changes to facilitate access to Medicaid or the Children’s Health Insurance Program as many people have lost their job-based health insurance in the COVID crisis. And in late June, voters in Oklahoma approved expanding Medicaid to more residents. But since the start of the pandemic, states including Kansas and California have put off plans to expand eligibility for Medicaid, which provides health care to low-income people.

“These are symptoms of states that can’t deficit-spend, despite this great need for more coverage,” said Sara Collins, vice president for health care coverage and access at the Commonwealth Fund, an independent health policy research foundation based in New York. “If they spend more in one area, that means cuts in another.”
