Planning for wildfire

13 foothills agencies meet in Genesee Park for wildland fire training

BY JANE REUTER JREUTER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

In the midst of ghting a wild re, dense smoke can block the sun, turning day into night and familiar neighborhoods into foreign landscapes. Wind and heat often further

exacerbate the scene. ose atmospheric conditions combined with the e ort of coordinating multiple agencies to ght a re can create confusion and heighten an already tense situation.

On May 11, 13 west metro re and related agencies came together to

prepare for such circumstances. Eighty-two re ghters and other personnel brought 33 re rigs and related wildland vehicles to Genesee Park for several hours of wildre training, hosted by Foothills Fire and Rescue.

Groups of re ghters rotated

among ve training stations, each equipped with tools and instructors skilled in structure triage, water supply, line digging, helicopter communications and operating a lookout station.

“If there is a big wildland re in this area, most of the agencies that were there will probably be responding,” said Foothills Fire training o cer Erik Alpine, who coordinated the event. “ is gives us an opportunity to interface with each other in a more casual setting than on an actual call, where you’re moving fast. Working with people builds trust, and an exercise like this also helps you learn the other departments’ capabilities and resources.”

Sta representing Foothills, Evergreen, Genesee, Golden, Indian Hills, Clear Creek and West Metro re rescue agencies, the Highland Rescue Team Ambulance District, Je Com 911, the Colorado Division of Fire Prevention and Control, Jefferson County Sheri ’s O ce and Je co Open Space all turned out for the day.

e team started the day as they would at a real wild re, with a check-in to determine the number of re ghters, vehicles and tools available, and the creation of an incident action plan.

en they fanned out in teams to the various stations.

At the structural triage station, reghters reviewed evacuation procedures, and how to assess whether a home is defensible or indefensible — an assessment that can determine how much time and e ort reghters will devote to attempting to save it. at decision often hinges on how well the homeowner has mitigated their property by trimming trees and other vegetation and removing combustible items from underneath decks and other areas. ey practiced using portable water tanks and pumps at the water supply station. Because rural areas like the foothills have few water hydrants, re ghting teams rely on water tenders, which often ll and re ll portable tanks at the site of the re. Pumps can move that water from the tank uphill to the scene of a re.

“We get to see and feel how little pressure you actually need to ght a re,” said EFR wildland captain James Estle, who oversaw the pumping exercise.

Teams also practiced hose packing and layout, an exercise that also allowed members of various agencies to compare and netune techniques.

SPEAK OUT!

“We pack our hoses in a certain way,” said EFR public information o cer Stacee Martin. “But Genesee might do it di erently and they might do it better.”

Crews practiced moving in an orderly line at the line digging station, calling out each action they took to ensure safety and e cient teamwork. During a wild re, re ghters use hand tools to scrape away vegetation and soil and build a re line, hard work that serves an often-critical purpose. Fire lines function not only as a break in a re’s fuel supply but can minimize soil erosion and protect streams and lakes from sedimentation.

Alpine led instruction at the lookout station, from which a re ghter is assigned to watch a re, weather and other factors that could have an impact on crews battling a wild re.

“On a large-scale wildland re, a lookout is a key position to have,” he said. “Many of the boots-on-theground are task-oriented — digging line, felling trees, clearing brush — and they don’t necessarily have a big picture. A lookout functions as their eyes and in some cases their ears, keeping track of the weather and what the re is doing.”

Aurora Model Home Event Was Uninspiring. Where’s the Innovation & Sustainability?

Last Wednesday, I joined 50+ metro area Realtors for a “progressive model home tour” at the Painted Prairie subdivision in Aurora, just south of the Gaylord Rockies resort near DIA. The weather was perfect, and the turnout must have exceeded expectations since the food ran out early at some of the seven model homes on the tour.

Six builders partnered in this event which was sponsored by the two metro area Realtor associations — Denver Metro and South Metro. It was well planned and executed, with registration happening at Honeysuckle Park. All the model homes were within walking distance, but free shuttles ran between them, too.

ades of showing and selling new homes.

Of these builders, Meritage has the best reputation for sustainability. Our office did a field trip to their Richards Farm subdivision in Arvada many years ago, and we were impressed at their use of spray foam insulation and conditioned attics. Instead of finding further progress toward sustainability, I found that only the front and back walls of the Painted Prairie homes have spray foam insulation, although they still have conditioned attics.

mentioned by any of the Painted Prairie builders.

All the builders promoted the fact that they will continue paying a co-op commission — typically 3% on the base price at closing — to agents who bring them a buyer. Given the turmoil in the real estate industry regarding buyer agent compensation, buyers can only be assured their agent will be compensated by the seller if that seller is a builder. Competition with fellow builders means they dare not eliminate commissions.

At registration we were given a map of the homes plus a bag for the food. The participating builders were KB Home, Berkeley Homes, David Weekley Homes, Meritage Homes, Remington Homes, and New Home Co.

KB Home had two model homes on the 7-home tour — one for their paired homes and one for single-family homes.

I had my own agenda for the tour. I wanted to know what innovations and sustainability features these builders were incorporating in their 2024 products. I saw very little of either. These were the same stick-built homes with gas forced air furnaces and gas water heaters that I have seen over two dec-

Metro District Taxes + HOA Dues

As in many new subdivisions, the infrastructure for Painted Prairie was funded by Metro Tax District bonds. The district has its own mill levy to pay off those bonds. While the HOA dues are spelled out on the MLS, the mill levy is not. At www.LifeAtPaintedPrairie.com the district mill levy is revealed — over 75 mills.

All the builders are installing highefficiency gas forced air furnaces (93% to 96% efficient). There wasn’t a heat pump system in any of the homes, nor was a heat pump upgrade possible. All the water heaters are gas units, half of them tankless, and a heat pump water heater is not available as an upgrade, despite the huge tax credits available.

Several of the builders were including 220V wiring to the garage for electric vehicles and prewiring or conduits for roof-top solar PV (making them “solar ready”), but both were options, if available at all.

All of the builders said their homes are “Energy Star certified,” except for one which claims to qualify for that certification but didn’t want to pay the EPA’s fee for it.

Last week I wrote about the new “Energy Star NextGen” certification, which requires all-electric design, not just Energy Star appliances. None of these builders even aspire to that certification. For that, you need to look at Thrive Home Builders, which is building all-electric homes in Broomfield, Loretto Heights and Lone Tree. See my article at right.

Thrive homes are also EPA Indoor airPLUS qualified, something not even

Just Listed: 4-Bedroom Arvada Home

Sustainability aside, there was one builder at Painted Prairie that I liked, a company I had never heard of before — New Home Co. What impressed me was their lack of upgrade fees. You can choose different styles of cabinets and

countertops, but you don’t pay extra for any of them. Also, they had some innovative electrical components, and they include a video doorbell. They also give buyers $30,000 to use for buying down the mortgage interest rate to 3.5% the first year, 4.5% the second year and 5.5% for the rest of a 30-year mortgage.

Where’s the Innovation & Sustainability? Look Here...

Following my disappointment in Aurora, I decided to visit Thrive Home Builders’ Loretto Heights development, where the kind of innovation and sustainability I was looking for is on full display.

I met with Stephanie Nobbs, who heads the sales office. The Loretto Heights project is all-electric—no natural gas service.

Hot water is created by the same Rheem heat pump water heater (at right) that I installed in my own home two years ago.

$750,000

You’ll love this move-in ready two-story home at 7885 Quail Street in the Oak Park section of Arvada. It is just two blocks from Alice Sweet Thomas Park to the west and Sierra Park to the east. The sellers have taken excellent care of this house since buying it 34 years ago. It has four bedrooms and 2½ baths and 2,021 main square feet plus an unfinished basement. The corner lot is just under a half acre and is beautifully landscaped. Built in 1978 of brick with wood framing, it has central A/C and gas forced air heating, plus a wood-burning fireplace. All appliances in the kitchen are included, as are the washer and dryer. Find magazine-quality photos and a narrated video tour at www.ArvadaHome.info, then call me at 303-525-1851 to request a private showing. I will be holding it open this Sunday, May 26th, from 11am to 1pm.

The heating systems are ducted heat pump systems. You can tell a heat pump by how it’s mounted on the building (right). Inside is an “air handler,” since the outside unit produces all the heat in the winter and cooling in the summer. Ducts carry the hot or cold air to each room, as in a conventional home. (It’s also much quieter.)

The homes are super-insulated, using blown-in insulation not only in the attic but in the exterior walls. Because they are air-tight, each home has Panasonic WhisperFresh unit mounted above the air handler (at left) to bring in fresh air, in communication with a WhisperGreen exhaust fan in the bathroom.

The ERV helps the Thrive homes to win the EPA’s Indoor airPlus certification in addition to the agency’s Energy Star NextGen certification that I wrote about in last week’s column.

“Concentrate

Heat pumps are not new technology, yet Thrive is the only home builder to make it standard, let alone available as an option, for both space heating and water heating. Research has shown that, although homes built like Thrive’s are more expensive to build, they save over $3,000 per year in utility costs for the homeowner.

The Loretto Heights model home where I met Stephanie is two stories plus a finished basement, which has a base price of $569,900. It doesn’t have enough roof space to make the home “net zero” with solar panels, but the panels that do fit on the roof generate 70% of the home’s electrical needs. And this subdivision is in Denver, which has the lowest property taxes in the metro area. There is a Metropolitan Tax District, which adds 65 mills to Denver’s 79.525 mill levy.

Thrive will be building single-family homes in Loretto Heights, but at this point only townhomes are ready to occupy, and several are. If I were in the market for a new home, I would definitely consider a Thrive “next generation” home over the kinds of homes I toured in Aurora. Call me if you have questions or if you would like to tour one of Thrive’s model homes.

Je co school support workers urge school board to hold district accountable amidst refusal to negotiate pay raises and more

BY SUZIE GLASSMAN

SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA

Je erson County Schools bus drivers, custodians, food service workers, classroom aides and other education support professionals pleaded with the school board earlier this month to send district ocials back to the bargaining table after attempts to negotiate a pay raise, end outsourcing, provide healthier snacks and increase sta -to-student ratios abruptly ended.

“We’re here to demand that Jeffco School Board President Mary Parker hold Tracy Dorlin (Je co Superintendent) and the district’s bargaining teams accountable for their refusal to negotiate and their deliberate act of hiring Brent Case, a union-busting lawyer, to represent them,” said Zander Kaschub, a food service employee and president of the Je co Education Support Professionals Association.

According to Kaschub, the union brought two issues forward during this year’s negotiations: studentcentered sta ng and job stability. But after two contentious meetings, all dialogue stopped.

“We were met with a lawyer the district hired to outright reject our interests,” he said. “ ey didn’t counter our language or engage in

any kind of negotiation or dialogue. ey simply just said no.”

Je co schools did not respond to a request for comment on why it ended its meetings with the union, but Kaschub said the district’s position is that they have the right to sta their schools as they see t.

While true, the union believes that refusing to hear its grievances violates its agreement with the district and is an example of bad-faith bargaining, where one party shows up without the intention of closing a deal or following through on commitments.

Kaschub said the union received a letter the day after the board meeting saying the district refuses to arbitrate their disagreements, which, according to the union’s contract, would be the next step in their grievance process.

“ e simple message for us to the district is to return to the negotiating table. Our issues are issues that we’ve identi ed through thousands of conversations with workers in Jeffco who need this support,” Kaschub said.

Pay raises

Kaschub argued the district is spending countless dollars to hire costly transportation services and special education support sta from

outside the district without attempting to post open jobs on the district’s website. Yet, he said when they brought this concern to the district, they were told the district had no choice but to outsource these roles due to a state-wide sta ng shortage.

Yet, the union believes there’s a simpler reason the district cannot hire and retain sta .

“We’re paid so low in Je co that no one’s going to want to come here,” said Kaschub. “ e truth is we all want to survive in Je erson County, and we just can’t do it on a wage that Je co pays.”

Kaschub wasn’t the only one to express how di cult it is to live in Jeffco on the district’s wages.

“I am a homeless Je co employee,” said John Sanchez, who works as a custodian for the district. “I literally cannot a ord to work for Je co anymore. If our wages aren’t increased to a livable wage, and our health insurance isn’t made a ordable soon, I and many other ESPs will have no other choice to leave Je co, our students, our buildings, our communities and our homes.”

Amanda Garner, a fourth-grade teacher at Mitchell Elementary, questioned if the district values its critical support sta .

“When my friends talk about being paid poverty wages, they are

not exaggerating. I know without a shadow of a doubt that my JESPA colleagues are invaluable to our school communities,” she said. “But, I have to wonder what their work is worth to you? Is it the position of this administration that JESPA employees somehow deserve to live in poverty?”

e union is asking for a $5-anhour base pay increase for all jobs, or roughly 20% on average, and an increase in the district’s contributions to health care premiums.

Kaschub said he’s been told the district can’t a ord it due to declining enrollment, but he noted the school district is sitting on $211 million in reserves, according to the district’s Annual Comprehensive Financial Report.

e Je co School District will also receive more funding from the state next year due to the elimination of the budget stabilization factor that diverted money earmarked for education to other state priorities and from an overhaul of the state funding formula.

“Je co has the money to support its workers,” Kaschub said. “It’s choosing not to.”

e district did not respond to a request for comment regarding sta pay or recruitment for open positions.

Alpine said the day’s training was a success, and one they’ll repeat. EFR hosted a similar training in May 2023, and the agencies aim to make it an annual event.

While wildland re ghters throughout the United States a set of training and equipment standards through the National Wild re Coordinating Group, local training exercises are critical. Je erson County ranks number one in Colorado for high and extreme wild re risk areas, and Evergreen and Conifer rank among the highest risk areas, according to the Verisk/ISO Stateline Report.

Additionally, the behavior of wildre is shifting.

“Fire is a temperamental beast and it’s not doing what it’s always done, which makes it interesting for

us,” Martin said. “At night, temperatures usually drop and re activity subsides. at not necessarily the case anymore.”

Colorado’s wild re season was once considered mid-summer. Today, the state experiences large res every month of the year, and the average core wild re season is 78 days longer than in the 1970s, according to the Colorado Division of Wild re Prevention and Control.

If there’s a positive among those facts, Martin said it’s that most foothills-area residents are well aware of the risk and making changes to diminish it.

“We get it, and we are mitigating,” she said. “I feel lucky our community gets it; I am very proud of our community.”

EFR and other foothills re agencies provide free guidance, resources and services to help their residents reduce their risk of wild re. For more information, visit your agency’s website.

CASA Champions for Children Breakfast honors volunteers and o cials while raising awareness

BY JO DAVIS JDAVIS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

e Court Appointed Special Advocates of Gilpin and Je erson Counties honored advocates, o cials and families during a CASA Champions for Children Breakfast. e theme was “Choose and See.”

“To see everyone in the room together supporting CASA’s mission of advocating for kids in the courtroom was heartwarming” CASA Je co/Gilpin Executive Director Leah Varnell said. “We hold this event to share the impactful work CASAs do with people who want to make a di erence in the lives of these children.”

e keynote speakers for the Champions Breakfast were two children, siblings Jayce and Janessa, who share an advocate.

ey were adopted together and said their advocate is a part of their family. Jayce and Janessa spoke about their experience with the family court system and praised the CASA program for helping them while they navigated it.

eir adoptive mom, Jamie, also spoke.

e family’s experience is an important one to hear, according to Amber Ho meister, a former caseworker for the guest speakers.

“It’s so important to have someone in the courtroom that knows your story,” said Ho meister. She helped pair the CASA children with their adoptive mother, who calls her children her “soul son and destiny daughter.”

e Champions for Children program held a surprise moment when CASA Je co/Gilpin honored Judge Ann Gail Meinster for 20 years of work. Meinster worked as guardian ad litem and a judge over her two decades of service.

e judge is retiring in 2024, hence the honors.

Meinster shared her favorite part of the job with the attendees.

Morrison speed cameras go live

Cameras will automatically issue $40 tickets to those going 10 mph over posted limit

BY JANE REUTER JREUTER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Automated cameras are now issuing $40 tickets to drivers who speed through Morrison. e two cameras — one at the intersection of Colorado Highways 74 and 8, and the other on a trailer that will be moved around town — went live earlier

this month.

e speed limit in Morrison is 25 mph, and the cameras are set to issue citations at 35 mph.

Morrison town sta have been working for months to get the cameras up and running, and Police Chief Bill Vinelli hosted a community meeting in January to let area residents know about the program and how the cameras work.

“ ese cameras are indiscriminate,” he said. “It doesn’t matter if you’re a local resident, a visitor or from out of state. If you’re speeding, it’ll send the citation to the registered owner of the vehicle.”

Morrison has a long-standing reputation as a speed trap, and while

Vinelli acknowledged citations generate revenue for the town, he said that wasn’t the impetus for adding the cameras.

With its historic downtown and proximity to Red Rocks, Dinosaur Ridge and other attractions, Morrison is a magnet for tourists. On a sunny summer weekend, Vinelli estimates 12,000 to 15,000 visitors ock there daily, lling both the narrow sidewalks and streets.

“ is is a safety issue; we’re not in it for the revenue,” he said. “Morrison is a beautiful place to visit, and all that congestion is condensed into two or three city blocks. If a child breaks away or somebody steps out between cars, nobody

who’s speeding has the re exes to stop in time. I am trying my best to make sure we have no incidents that are going to hurt anyone.”

Vinelli joined the Morrison police department as its chief in February 2022 and said he knew coming in about the town’s infamous claim to fame.

“I’m aware of the reputation,” he said. “As long as I’m chief here, I’m never going to get that stigma out of people’s heads. Let people say what they’re going to say. e fact is, a 25 mph speed limit sign means 25 mph. And I think issuing a citation at 10 mph over is generous.”

Conifer’s Mountain Club to host Memorial Day weekend flea market

Biannual event helps keep 12-step recovery programs available for foothills residents

BY JANE REUTER JREUTER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

In its 34 years, Conifer’s Mountain Club has helped thousands of foothills residents stay free from addiction and nd community. Now, the club is asking the community for their support.

It will host its annual Memorial Day weekend ea market from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. May 25 and 26 at the club, 12795 US Highway 285 in Conifer. Proceeds from the biannual sale, held each Memorial Day and Labor Day weekend, support the club’s operations.

e Mountain Club provides a safe meeting space for 12-step recovery groups in the mountain community. While that is primarily Alcoholics Anonymous, the club hosts or has hosted Alanon, Adult Children of Alcoholics, Narcotics Anonymous, Overeaters Anonymous and Workaholics Anonymous. It currently hosts 16 meetings a week, with at least one meeting each day and multiple meetings on several days.

Between 10 and 20 people attend each meeting.

“Alcoholism can be a devastating addiction, and most people don’t do well dealing with it on their own,” said Mountain Club spokesperson Sandy F., who has attended meetings there since 1992. “ ere are many people who come in and get sober and stay sober, and thereby change their lives and the lives of those around them. If you want to do it, you make yourself available for meetings and you do it.

“It helps people by providing a program and a community of people who are trying to do the same thing you are,” she continued. “You have to do the steps and the work yourself; you’ve also got a community of people who help one another, and you see other people who have done it and are living happy, useful lives.”

Meeting attendees and club leaders are anonymous for several reasons, and anonymity is the 12th tradition in

Conifer’s Mountain Club, which hosts 12step recovery meetings, is preparing for its annual Memorial Day weekend flea market.

a recovery program, “reminding us to place principles above personalities,” according to AA.

“We don’t try and broadcast our afliation with it necessarily, and we try to guard each other’s anonymity,” Sandy said, adding that members are encouraged to be active members of the general community. “But it’s not one of those things we broadcast widely in our personal lives.”

e biannual sale helps the club pay its utilities and other expenses.

Sale volunteers don’t set prices on most items, but let potential buyers o er what they think is a fair price, a policy Sandy said has worked well over the years.

“If you get ve books, we’re not going to charge 25 cents a book,” she said. “We’ll ask for your estimation of what it’s worth for you. Most times, it works better than putting prices on things.”

e Mountain Club is accepting donations for the ea market at the building through the morning of May 25. Donations can run the gamut from clothing and kitchen items to camping gear and tools. e club won’t accept tires, used electronics, mattresses, paint or chemicals.

“If it’s trash, take it to the dump,” Sandy said. “Otherwise, we have to.”

Sandy, whose husband and fellow club member died in 2013, thanked the community in advance for helping the Mountain Club continue its mission.

“I’ve continued because it’s my community; it’s sustained me,” she said. “It’s very open-minded and inclusive. And people are always welcome back, no matter what happens. e answer is always ‘yes.’”

Colorado EV sales dropped o by one measure

BY MICHAEL BOOTH THE COLORADO SUN

Sales of clean fuel vehicles in Colorado slowed in the rst quarter of 2024 despite a growing stack of lucrative rebates available, according to the Colorado Auto Dealers Association, though some green economy enthusiasts said overall electric vehicle trends are strong.

Battery-only electric vehicles, the largest category of clean fuel combinations, went a bit soft at a time they’re supposed to be on a steady growth arc Colorado needs in order to reach 940,000 EVs on the road by 2030, a long-stated target. A climbing number of EV sales is crucial to both the ozone cuts needed to get out from under EPA sanctions, and to meet the state’s greenhouse gas reduction goals.

Perhaps extra worrisome is that the drop also came as a number of lucrative, stackable incentives for buying EVs kicked in. Lower-income buyers who qualify can pile up federal, state, Xcel and a special cashfor-clunkers deal to get as much as about $21,000 o a new EV.

Despite the incentives, the share of full battery-electric vehicles newly registered in Colorado dropped to 13.8% for the rst quarter of 2024, from 16.3% in the last three months of 2023. e raw number of BEV sales was about 6,600, down from about 8,900 in late 2023. at’s out of total new vehicle registrations of about 48,000.

e drop also diverged from overall vehicle sales in Colorado, which rose 2.8%, slower than national sales growth averages but still welcome to dealers making up for sales lost dur-

ing the pandemic shutdowns.

Combining the two clean-vehicle categories, battery electric and plugin electric hybrids, put Colorado’s share at 19% of overall sales so far in 2024, down from 20.4% in late 2023.

e news follows signs of similar soft EV markets in California, always the market and policy leader for car sales, and across the rest of the nation.

e Atlas EV Hub information clearinghouse reported nationally that, “following record highs in December 2023, the EV market has been o to a slow start through the rst two months of 2024. January saw just over 119,000 light-duty EVs sold which was down 20% from the previous month. February saw sales slip another 10% to just over 107,000, representing the lowest total since February 2023.”

Colorado would have been worse o without all its EV incentives, which helped hold sales relatively steady, said Matthew Groves, chief of the Colorado Auto Dealers Association.

“We’d also like to think it’s because dealers are working collaboratively with the state, not antagonistically,” Groves said, including getting educated on incentives and having them taken o at the cash register whenever possible to ease the buying process.

‘Incredible progress’ despite slow work to set up Colorado incentives At least one green energy advocate in Colorado said quarterly changes in EV sales should not be alarming compared to the overall arc of clean fuel growth.

“When I look at the data, I see incredible progress,” said Travis Madsen, transportation program director at the nonpro t Southwest Energy E ciency Project. He noted that not all the cash Colorado incentives were available until April, as the Public Utilities Commission and Xcel worked out how many different rebates could be “stacked” together for one car.

“I’m not worried about market shifts from quarter to quarter,” he said. “I see a fundamental transformation of vehicle technology underway, I think it is unstoppable, and I think it o ers massive bene ts for our economy, our health, and our climate. ere’s a lot of work left to do to unlock the full bene t, and the transition is likely to happen with some ts and starts.”

Madsen pointed to di erent numbers kept on the state’s EV “dashboard.”  “ ere’s no slowdown visible,” he said. e state dashboard says new EV registrations climbed from 10.8% in the fourth quarter of 2023 to just under 11% in the beginning of 2024, Madsen said. Adding in plug-in electric hybrids, considered clean energy vehicles under state rules, and the share climbs from 15.6% in the third quarter of 2023 to 17.1% last quarter.

Other databases may include cars that are bought elsewhere and registered for the rst time in Colorado, not just new Colorado sales, Madsen said.

Given the challenges of consistently hitting EV sales targets, CADA’s Groves said, the trade group is glad Colorado regulators did not follow other states in mandating 100% EV sales by 2035. Instead, Colorado settled on an 80% target

BATHROOM REMODELING DONE RIGHT

for 2032, and did not try to mandate markets after that, Groves said.

“ ose states that are looking at an internal combustion engine ban in 2035 are looking at it as unattainable and unserious, given the national trendlines in consumer sentiment,” Groves said. “Colorado stepped back and gave a more serious goal, and I think industry got more serious about pursuing it.”

Potential EV sales hit the news again this week with President Joe Biden announcing a 100% tari on Chinese-manufactured EVs that have U.S. automakers very worried. e small EVs get great reviews for performance and are priced in China at the equivalent of just $12,000. e Colorado Energy O ce, the hub of clean energy and electri cation policy for the state, has echoed the view that moderate uctuations in new EV sales are expected. Incentives take time to fully kick in, companies phase out some models and consumers wait for new ones

and higher interest rates on loans complicate decisions.

“We’re excited Colorado ranks third in the nation in EV market share, up from sixth this time last year, and that plug-in hybrid electric vehicles sales continue to increase, representing the largest PHEV market share in the country,” energy o ce chief Will Toor said. “We are also thrilled that the year-over-year growth is signicant, with a 44% increase in total EV market share between Q1 2023 and Q1 2024, growing from 13.2% to 19%.”

News of a “bumpy ride,” Madsen said, “applies more to the national story, and we’re doing better in Colorado to manage those bumps with a very comprehensive policy environment.”

S‘The Prom’ ends Town Hall Arts Center’s 41st season

pring is prom season, which makes it the perfect time for Littleton’s Town Hall Arts Center to host the Colorado premiere of the joyous Broadway musical, “ e Prom.”

“Some theaters are known for doing tried-and-true classics ey’re intended to entertain. Other theaters are known for producing newer ‘thinkers,’ or message-pieces. ey’re intended to inspire,” wrote Steven Burge, marketing manager at the arts center. “Town Hall Arts Center believes you can do both and ‘ e Prom’ is perfect for that intent.”

“ e Prom” runs at the Town Hall Arts Center, 2450 Main St. in Littleton, from Friday, May 24 through Sunday, June 23. Performances are at 7:30 p.m. ursday, Friday and Saturday, and 2 p.m. on Sunday. e show follows a quartet of Broadway stars who are trying to nd a good cause to champion as a way to get back into the spotlight. When they hear about a small town in Indiana that is refusing to allow a young woman to take her girlfriend to the prom, they think they’ve found

COMING ATTRACTIONS

what they’re looking for.

“It’s a classic forbidden love story that we’ve all seen and loved and rooted for, for years. But it is a couple’s story that isn’t told every day,” Burge wrote.

“While entertaining and uplifting the spirits of our audience members

is the overarching goal, if we can do that and amplify the voices of queer youth at the same time, that’s great.”

e show features music by Matthew Sklar, lyrics by Chad Beguelin and the book by Bob Martin Beguelin. e cast is made up of new faces and longtime Town Hall favorites, like Margie Lamb and Sonsharae Tull, as well as Piper Lindsay Arpan, an actual Broadway performer who was a Radio City Rockette and performed in the Broadway production of Monty Python’s “Spamalot.”

Burge describes the music as very emblematic of contemporary musi-

cal theater show tunes, with some nods to Bob Fosse and Stephen Sondheim thrown in for good musical-theater-nerd measure.

When all of this is combined, it makes “ e Prom” the perfect show to end the theater’s season and welcome summer to the state.

“We hope folks will leave humming and smiling, and feeling a little bit lighter and happier than they felt coming into the theater,” Burge added. “We hope that people will see that there is quality, cultural theatrical entertainment to be experienced outside of Denver. Littleton community members, Highlands Ranchers and south suburbanites in general can nd award-winning musical theater right here on Main Street, Littleton.”

Clarke’s Concert of the Week — Maggie Rogers at Red Rocks

Maggie Rogers makes the kind of music that can sweep you away if you let it. Since her debut studio album, “Heard It in a Past Life” was released, she’s been a favorite of those looking for depth to go with their musical earworms. Just a month ago, Rogers released her third record, “Don’t Forget Me,” and it’s one of the year’s best. She’s said she wants the album to sound like a Sunday afternoon, and she certainly delivered.

In James Michener’s “Centennial,” Gray Wolf teaches his son, Lame Beaver, about impermanence. Sort of. “Only the rocks live forever,” he says. Of course, that’s not true. Eventually, rocks erode into particles, which, in turn, can become ground into ash, which, in turn can get blown away then absorbed by some being or merged into other formations… and so on.

Over the past 4 billion years, the con gurations of Earth’s land masses dramatically changed due to the planet’s colliding tectonic plates. Around 250 million years ago, several mini continents bumped into each other and formed the supercontinent, Pangea. About 50 million years later, Pangea split into what are today’s seven continents. We can only imagine what the alignment will look like 50 million years from now.

Survival depends on adapting to one’s changing environment.   roughout eons of giving itself facelifts, Earth has experienced ve mass extinctions. In that time, over a billion species have come and gone, including many incredibly large and erce creatures that make today’s most feared ones look puny and merely rambunctious in comparison.

And when that happens, it invariably causes tremors in the social and cultural realms and in the body politic. In time, they can cause social, cultural and political earthquakes and eruptions. After cataclysmic events, the natural proclivity is to begin anew by adapting to the new normal.

e overall graph could be likened to Earth’s ongoing, never-ending metamorphosis: e upper-line correlated to Earth’s shifting tectonic plates, and the rife of underlying lines similar to the upward, potentially explosive force of Earth’s churning hot magma.

Gray Wolf, as wise as he was, was scienti cally ignorant. He likely had no concept of erosion let alone plate tectonics. Supposedly, we’re more learned. We should know that nothing lasts forever and once-upona-times are places of myth. Which loops us back to impermanence. Another way to say nothing lasts forever is change is the one constant, which is another way to say the only thing permanent is impermanence. Like the literal shift-

problems originating with the federal government because changes are certainly required. Unfortunately, the event didn’t happen. Why? Because of violent threats against the governor, her sta , the hotel and the Je erson County Republican Party. e press release from the Je co GOP said “[t]he last threat received was a nasty voicemail message stating there would be ‘guns at the protest and people might get hurt.’” Of course, the safety of all involved took precedence over what would have been an interesting evening to hear from a politician with a national prole. Good call, Je co GOP!

It’s instructive to put into perspective that these threats were over a few comments Gov. Noem made in her new book that were deemed offensive. How then can we expect to solve the myriad of today’s problems, if we cannot even tolerate the speech of people whose view of the world is di erent from our own? What is the motivation of those who oppose a public discourse that might yield solutions to real, challenging issues?

In light of Je co Commissioner Andy Kerr’s recent Facebook post

stating “We did it” in regard to the cancellation of the Noem event, perhaps we should ask why politicians have become so partisan that they celebrate when physical threats are e ective in shutting o a public conversation they oppose? Are they that afraid of opposing ideas?

Conservatives and liberals approach public policy di erently. In the most simplistic sense, liberals seek government driven solutions, while conservatives seek free market or individual driven solutions. Too often now both sides stridently decry the others’ positions, but solutions to our problems require both sides collegially working together. e 2024 election season will likely be combative, but the outcome will determine whether our country charts a new direction that provides solutions to the key issues that affect all of us. As we contend with the current lack of civility in our public discourse, will we be able to discern who will make the best representatives to represent us or what policies will bring the best results for our common future? Listen hard to the rhetoric. Our future depends on the electorate making good choices.

Centennial State ranks highly for indie bookstores per capita; shopkeepers say neighborhoods benefit

BY RYLEE DUNN RDUNN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

As the school year comes to a close for some and the summer begins for all, Coloradans may be looking for something to ll their time. Luckily, they need to look no further than their local bookstores, which o er community, games and more, beyond books.

While big box stores and bookselling chains o er wide selections and thorough organizational systems, smaller stores allow for customers to converse with someone well-versed in the pages they spend each day around.

Here are six local independent bookstores worth checking out in the Denver metro area.

Capitol Hill Books | Denver

300 East Colfax Ave., Denver, Colorado 80203 | (303)-837-0700 | info@capitolhillbooks.com | capitolhillbooks. com |Open 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. every day Bringing books to Denver for 44 years, Capitol Hill Books houses a large collection of used and rare books. Both its placement and longevity have made the store a neighborhood staple.

“Everyone has seen this store as they drive through town,” said owner Ben Hall, who has spent 15 years working there, the last year and a half as owner. “It’s one of the de ning features of Cap Hill, our sign that says used books.”

In addition to being a Colfax mainstay, Hall believes the store serves an

important place in the community.

“I think having a neighborhood bookstore is important,” Hall said. “A neighborhood used bookstore gives everyone in the neighborhood a chance to nd something to read. You can do that at a library too, but maybe you want to take it home.

“It just means more people in the neighborhood will spend time reading,” Hall added. “Maybe I’m biased, but I think that’s important.”

Petals and Pages of Denver

956 Santa Fe Drive, Denver, Colorado 80204 | info@petalsandpagesofdenver.com | petalsandpagesofdenver. com | Open 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesdays through Sundays, closed Mondays

Petals and Pages o ers a bit more than your average bookstore. e queer woman-owned shop is both a bookstore and ower shop — with a bakery coming soon.

e shop also serves as a community space, with a variety of events every month. With book clubs covering a range of genres—such as romance, poetry, social justice, fantasy, queer literature and more—any reader can nd a club for them. For those that simply want a place to read, the store also o er read-a-thons.

However, the events aren’t limited to books. From game nights to burlesque classes to oral classes to speed dating, Petals and Pages has many classes and events to bring people together.

“Support your local indie bookstore,” says a message posted outside Petals and Pages of Denver.

“Our bookstore prioritizes working with the community and re ecting their interests,” said bookseller Luxe Palmer. “ e community builds us up. I think we keep a very good relationship with our patrons, which is something that big box bookstores are not able to do.”  e store not only o ers a place to shop for books, but a place to nd community, with book clubs and “Local Author Saturdays,” where a couple of local authors will spend the day hanging out and chatting about books.

“Working at an independent bookstore gives us a lot of opportunity to be able to interact with the customers and help them nd exactly what they need,” Palmer said. “It’s an absolute joy to work here.”

For over 30 years, the store has

used books and rare books, but its inventory doesn’t stop there. e store also o ers a wide variety of physical media, ranging from vinyls and CD’s to DVD’s and cassettes. For gamers, the store has board games and role-playing games.

“I’m kinda the board game expert here,” said bookseller Ben Boskoss. “So they brought me on to help with that, and I’ve been learning more of the books side of things as well.”

With a maze of books and more at the ready, Black and Read is a shop to browse and enjoy.

“It’s always great seeing local shoppers coming in and out,” Boskoss said.

Spell Books | Littleton

2376 Main St., Littleton, Colorado 80120 | (303)-954-0094 | info@spellbooksco.com |spellbooksco.com |

Open noon to 5 p.m. Mondays, 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Tuesdays through Fridays, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturdays, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sundays

One of Main Street’s newest additions, Spell Books brings a curated selection to those looking for unique reads.

“We’re highly curated simply because we don’t have a lot of space,” said owner Corey Dahl. “I think we have a lot of small press and under the radar gems that people won’t nd at bigger stores.”

Dahl also said she focused on curating a good space, alongside a good book selection.

“We have a di erent vibe too,” Dahl said. “I did all the decor; it’s all thrifted. I just wanted to make it cozy; like grandma’s house, if grandma was a witch.”

In addition to housing books, the store is also home to several community events, including book clubs, poetry readings, writing workshops and “Friday Night Read ‘n Writes” — where attendees can spend a few hours reading or writing with others.

“Bookstores are a great community driver,” Dahl said. “You can buy a book online but you don’t get to talk to anyone about it, you don’t get to have that kismit moment of nding the book in person.”

With a variety of community events, Spell Books o ers a space to connect through books.

“Reading feels like it’s supposed to be a solitary activity but I think it’s the opposite,” Dahl said. “I think you’re supposed to connect with people through reading.”

Black and Read seems to be an endless collection of books and other goodies, such as these comic books.

State plans to bring back another species

Wolverine reintroduction would be di erent, supporters vow

BY JASON BLEVINS THE COLORADO SUN

A new predator could be coming to Colorado’s high country but supporters are promising this reintroduction will be di erent.

Colorado lawmakers have overwhelmingly approved the return of wolverines to Colorado’s alpine landscape, with a plan “that is completely opposite from the wolf reintroduction process,” said Sen. Dylan Roberts, a Democrat from Avon who co-sponsored the legislation with Sen. Perry Will, a Republican from

New Castle.

Roberts said the pair’s Senate Bill 171 marks “a responsible way to do wildlife reintroduction.” e bill is heading to Gov. Jared Polis’ desk for nal approval. If signed, the e ort will mark the rst-ever attempt to restore wolverines to a native range.   Roberts and Will are among the most outspoken critics of the state’s wolf reintroduction e ort and spent two years crafting the wolverine bill with input from Western Slope residents, the resort industry and wildlife biologists.

e wolverine legislation allows the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to designate an experimental population in Colorado, which gives Colorado Parks and Wildlife the ability to manage reintroduction. at federal approval of a state-managed population of federally protected animals

La Ciudad

is allowed under section 10(j) in the Endangered Species Act. at 10(j) designation will require the federal government to review the reintroduction plan under the National Environmental Policy Act, which can take a year or longer.

Senate Bill 171 also establishes a funding tool so ranchers who lose livestock to wolverines can be compensated. ere is no deadline for when Colorado Parks and Wildlife should return wolverines to the state.

e 10(j), the lack of a deadline and a compensation program were crafted to avoid the pitfalls of wolf reintroduction, “where they just went to the ballot rst and then lled in all the safeguards afterwards,” Roberts said.

“I think the bipartisan support and sponsorship of this legislation reects the long-term process this has gone through rather than rushing it though like wolves,” he said.

ere are somewhere between 300 and 400 wolverines in the lower 48 states of North America. e largest member of the weasel family is native to Colorado, but the last wolverine in Colorado was killed in 1919. CPW conducted a dozen surveys in the late 1980s to the mid 1990s searching for wolverines across the Western Slope and found none. Wolverines are extremely solitary and the 15-to-40-pound animals roam territories that are 8 times larger than needed for lynx.

began planning wolverine reintroduction in the late 1990s but restoration plans were delayed as the state focused on restoring Canadian lynx. Wolverine reintroduction was delayed again in 2010 as federal ofcials weighed the protection status for wolverines.

Colorado Parks and Wildlife has already begun reigniting wolverine restoration work that began in 2010 as the state concluded reintroduction of Canadian lynx. e Colorado wildlife biologists presented an early plan to CPW commissioners earlier this month at a meeting in Montrose. at theoretical plan calls for releasing up to 45 wolverines over three years — 30 females and 15 males — in three zones: north of Interstate 70, a central zone between I-70 and U.S. 50 and a southern zone in the San Juans.  at plan could yield a sustainable population of 100 wolverines in the next three or four decades, according to survival rate information from Sweden, where biologists have studied wolverines for 30 years.

e U.S. and Fish and Wildlife Service in 2020 declined to list the wolverine as threatened but a federal court overturned that decision.

In November last year the federal agency designated the carnivore as threatened, citing updated threats based on climate impacts to high altitude snow coverage, fractured habitat and trapping activity.

Colorado wildlife o cials rst

“No agency has attempted this so we are on the cutting edge, I think,” wildlife researcher scientist Jake Ivan told the commissioner at the Montrose meeting. “We have done what we can to prepare ourselves for this but everything really is unknown to a degree at this point. I think our success will likely require our ability to adapt and roll with the punches.” e legislation sets aside $103,000 to help cover the costs of increased sta ng and workload connected to the reintroduction. Wolverine attacks on livestock are rare but Utah wildlife o cials in March 2022 captured and collared a 4-year-old male after it attacked and killed rancher’s sheep.

Legislators adjust law to aid incarcerated students

BY JASON GONZALES CHALKBEAT COLORADO

Some incarcerated Colorado students who committed nonviolent offenses have taken college classes for the last year with the understanding they would earn an early release. But because of a con icting law on the books, a law passed last year never worked as intended. Instead, state Rep. Matthew Martinez, a Monte Vista Democrat, said he got letters from incarcerated students and calls from families across the state because incarcerated family members couldn’t shave o as much time as promised from their sentences for earning an associates, bachelor’s, or master’s degree.

“ ere’s just been a lot of heartache that their student had made signicant progress on their degree,” Martinez said. “And then they were being told that they weren’t able to receive the maximum amount of time.”

Martinez and the Colorado Gen-

eral Assembly say they’ve xed that problem this year, allowing students to get up to two years o their sentence. House Bill 1461 has passed both chambers and awaits Gov. Jared Polis’ signature.

Under the con icting state law, people incarcerated in the state’s prisons can only get up to 30% of their sentence forgiven. Martinez said the state corrections department was only granting students 120 days o their sentences, when the law passed last year should have allowed them to get between six months and two years shaved o .

About 270 incarcerated students are taking college classes and eligible for a sentence reduction, Martinez said.

Under an expansion of the Second Chance Pell program, more incarcerated students are eligible to get federal funds to attend college. Colorado is one of the rst states in the nation to also employ incarcerated professors to help educate students in prison.

Students look at college classwork at the Colorado Territorial

Lawmakers have fixed an issue that was keeping incarcerated students from getting more time o their sentence for taking college classes.

House Bill 1461 clari es that the state wants to give incarcerated students who committed a nonviolent o ense more of an incentive to get a college education. For earning a college certi cate, students can get six months of forgiveness. For earning an associate or bachelor’s degree, they can get one year. And for earning a master’s degree, students can get two years reduced from their sentence.

e “technical cleanup” bill re-

stores hope and inspiration to students and families, Martinez said. And he said it shows that education can help students nd a way out of prison, as well as stay out.

“ is is something that we can do that can not only get families back together, but really reduce the recidivism here in the state of Colorado,” Martinez said.

The Colorado legislative primaries to watch this election year

BY SANDRA FISH THE COLORADO SUN

Colorado’s legislative session is over, and for many lawmakers that means the 2024 campaign season has begun.

Seven state Senate and 18 state House primaries will take place June 25. In many districts, whoever wins the primary will also win in November, because the voters there skew heavily toward one party or the other.

Seven incumbents are being challenged in primary contests. Two of the most progressive House Democrats face more moderate opponents, while two GOP state Senators face challenges from their right.  Here’s a look at the contests worth paying close attention to:

Five House incumbents face challengers

Among the 18 primaries for state House, one Republican and four Democratic incumbents face challengers.

ose contests re ect the deep ideological di erences in each caucus. And the results of each of the primaries are likely to decide the general election.

e most closely watched House primary will be in House District 6 in Denver, where Rep. Elisabeth Epps, a criminal justice activist who is backed by the Democratic Socialists of America and is one of the most liberal members of the legislature, faces attorney Sean Camacho. e House speaker reprimanded Epps in January for her conduct during a November special session, and she didn’t attend House oor work in person for the rst 45 days of the lawmaking term this year. Epps has the support of many progressives for her work on criminal justice reform and unsuccessful e orts to

restrict access to guns, but she also frequently votes against her party.

Camacho is a former Republican who ran unsuccessfully for the seat in 2022, failing to make the primary ballot. He’s been endorsed by a number of prominent Democrats, including Attorney General Phil Weiser, House Majority Leader Monica Duran and Senate President Steve Fenberg. His website espouses typically liberal Democratic policy positions, including support for rent stabilization, state investment in renewable energy and expanding the state’s pre-K program to provide more access to low-income families.

Epps raised about $16,000 between Jan. 1 and May 1, and ended the period with $47,529. Camacho raised $58,000 during the rst four months of the year and had $65,000 in his campaign’s account May 1 after spending $54,500 during the same period.

e other top House primaries:

• Rep. Tim Hernández, a former Denver Public Schools teacher, faces former federal immigration judge Cecelia Espenoza in House District 4 after defeating her in a vacancy committee election last year. Like Epps, he’s a Democratic socialist and was criticized for his social media posts and appearance at a rally in the wake of the Hamas attack on Israel in October. But he successfully led an e ort to get House approval for a ban on so-called assault weapons, though it died in the Senate. Espenoza has angered some in her district because an anti-trans activist held a fundraiser for her, although her website expresses support for the LGBTQIA community. She’s considered a more moderate candidate than Hernández.

• Rep. Junie Joseph faces educator Tina Mueh in Boulder’s House District 10. Joseph boasts endorsements from Gov. Jared Polis and

several House members, while Mueh has endorsements from several current and former Boulder politicians. Some have endorsed both candidates.

• Rep. Julia Marvin faces Jacqueline “Jacque” Phillips in Adams County’s House District 31 after defeating Phillips in a vacancy committee bid earlier this year. Both formerly served on ornton City Council. Phillips has signi cantly outraised Marvin this far.

• Republican Rep. Mary Brad eld faces two challengers in House District 21 in Colorado Springs: former educator Jan Koester and businessman Bill Garlington. Brad eld has outraised and outspent both of them after petitioning on to the ballot.

e most expensive state House primary thus far is in House Dis-

trict 30, where a pair of Democrats are battling in the Je erson County district. Lakewood City Councilwoman Rebekah Stewart had raised $112,000 through May 1 and had $78,000 in her campaign’s account.  Health care activist Kyra deGruy Kennedy raised nearly $86,000 and had about $34,000 left. e two are vying to replace Rep. Chris deGruy Kennedy, who is term-limited and married to Kyra deGruy Kennedy.

Two GOP senators face challengers, Dems vie for open seats

Republican Sens. Larry Liston of Colorado Springs and Barbara Kirkmeyer of Brighton face primary challengers this year, but both have major nancial advantages over their opponents.

WOLVERINE

e last wolverine con rmed in Colorado was in 2009, when a collared male traveled south from the Teton Range in Wyoming and hung out around Rocky Mountain National Park for several years. e wolverine eventually headed up to North Dakota, where it was shot in 2016 by a rancher who said it was threatening his cows.

Is another reintroduction being proposed too soon?

Colorado House co-sponsors Tisha Mauro, a Democrat from Pueblo and Rep. Barbara McLachlan, a Democrat from Durango, made sure to tell fellow lawmakers that “these are weasels, not wolves.”

CAMERAS

Town Trustee Katie Gill said residents share Vinelli’s concern.

“Our annual town surveys continue to show that public safety, speed enforcement and noise en-

McLachlan, during discussion on the Colorado House oor on May 2, said she spoke with cattlemen who were wary of the legislation “because wolverines sound too much like wolves.”

“Wolverines are much smaller. ey are scavengers,” she said. “ ey do not eat cattle. ey do not eat sheep. ey do not eat people.”

House Assistant Minority Leader

Ty Winter, a Republican from Trinidad, voted against the legislation but said on the House oor May 2 that the lawmakers sponsoring the bill “are doing it right” and doing “everything that should have been done with wolf reintroduction.”

Even though wolves were reintroduced in December in northern Colorado, far from Winter’s southern Colorado district, he said his constituents feel wolves arrived “with no real plan …and they’ve got heartburn

forcement are top priorities for our residents,” she said. “It’s not too surprising since Morrison is a pedestrian-centric town with a state highway that bisects our residential neighborhoods.

“Hopefully the cameras will address our speeding problem. Above all else, this is a public safety issue.”

from this still.”

Rep. Richard Holtorf, a Republican from Akron, also opposed the legislation, saying “the agriculture community has not recovered from the introduction of the last predator species.”

“I think it’s better if we are going to do this to take time and not just try to rush the introduction of these animals that are not very compatible with so much of what is Colorado,” Holtorf said on the House oor May 2. “I fear the wolverine will not like it here.”

e lack of a deadline for Colorado Parks and Wildlife to return wolverines to Colorado and the requirement for U.S. Fish and Wildlife to permit an experimental population addressed concerns for both ranchers and the resort industry. Ski areas expressed some concern that the endangered status of wolverines would complicate operations without that

Morrison uses a third-party vendor to process its citations. Louisiana-based Emergent Enforcement Solutions provides automated tra c monitoring and enforcement. Vinelli called the camera program “an all-encompassing Morrison project” because town sta is also involved, uploading needed information daily that is then transmitted to EES.

10(j) rule exemption from the federal government. It’s expected that mining, agriculture, logging and ski industry representatives will be involved in the reintroduction e ort and the 10(j) designation review.

“ e 10(j) rule is the way to really address those concerns and make sure ski area operations can continue without major regulatory burdens,” said Megan Mueller, a conservation biologist with Rocky Mountain Wild. “I think Colorado Parks and Wildlife worked hard to include stakeholders in the wolf reintroduction and they are doing the best they can, but with legislation, stakeholders have real guarantees that their concerns will be addressed.”

is story was printed through a news sharing agreement with e Colorado Sun, a journalist-owned nonpro t based in Denver that covers the state.

He also said his EES contacts have said the $40 Morrison citations Morrison “are on the very low end.”

“If getting a $40 ticket in Morrison curbs the way people drive in their own neighborhoods or another city, then I think we’ve helped,” Vinelli said. “We’re trying to curb people’s habits, and I think in the long run, that’s a good thing.”

DENVER — Ralston Valley sophomore Scarlett Lutz shook the hand of Cherry Creek sophomore Zoe Hochstadt after Lutz’s 6-2, 7-5 victory in the No. 3 singles match at the Denver Tennis Park on Tuesday morning.

But it wasn’t just any straight set victory. Lutz took a step over the net and was mobbed by all her teammates as the Mustangs could celebrate winning the Class 5A team title for the rst time in the program’s history.

“It has been 21 years in the making for me,” Ralston Valley longtime girls tennis coach Kim Greason said. “ e culture that we started when I rst started here. Building it up until this. Getting the girls to believe and buy in. ey were all in.”

Ralston Valley was the No. 1 seed for the 16-team 5A team tournament that began April 24. However, No. 2 Cherry Creek came in having won 25 team titles over the last 26 seasons, minus the COVID year where the Spring season of 2020 was cancelled.

“ is was a true team e ort. It’s Cherry Creek. We knew this wasn’t going to be easy,” Greason said of knocking o the 39-time state champions. “ ey have been here before. ey know what it is like and we didn’t. For our girls to pull through in this environment that they had never been in before and do what they did today … I’m in awe.”

Lutz, who according to Greason had a temperature of over 100 the night before, was able to get a key break in the second set to take a 6-5 lead and then served out the match.

“I didn’t think I had the strength or endurance to go three sets,” Lutz said. “Serving up 6-5 was really nerve-racking. After I got the rst two points I knew I had it.” e state team title also made history for Je co Public Schools. It is the rst time a Je co school has won the largest classi cation team title in girls tennis. D’Evelyn has won four 3A team titles over the

past decade.

“It means everything. We have been trying to go after Creek for so many years,” Lutz said. “ ey are so dominate in every sport, especially tennis. We believed since the beginning of the year that we could do it.”

Ralston Valley’s No. 1 doubles — juniors Adia Farling and Cassidy Gordon — got things going with a 6-1, 6-4 victory. Moments later, the Mustangs’ No. 3 doubles — freshman Mataya Farling and sophomore So a Elola — wrapped up a 6-3, 6-2 win to put Ralston Valley up 2-0.

Both the Mustangs’ No. 1 and No. 3 doubles teams captured 5A individual titles at the state tournament last Saturday at Denver City Park.

“ ey set the tone,” Greason said of the Mustangs’ No. 1 double team.

“ ey set the tone in practices. ey set the tone in matches. ey’re positivity and support for everyone across the line. ey pick each other up when they are down. at comes with playing two years in a row together.”

Cherry Creek’s state champion-

ship No. 2 — Riley Loehr and Zoey Hao — and No. 4 — Julie Karlberg and Beth Munro — doubles teams were able to get a pair of victories on the board for the Bruins. e pivotal match came when Ralston Valley sophomore Emerson Bonner defeated Cherry Creek senior Jisele Boker 7-5, 6-4. Boker had taken a 3-set victory in a state seminal match last week at the state tournament.

Ralston Valley senior Ally Lowe and No. 1 singles said in practice the day before they had worked on Boker’s style of play to have Bonner ready for the rematch. Lowe also gave the sophomore some good advice.

“I just told her (Bonner) to keep believing that she could win,” Lowe said.

Bonner had placed third in the individual 5A state tournament over the weekend after losing to Boker in the semi nals.

“She (Bonner) got down early in that rst set. I think she was down 5-2 and came back,” Greason said. “ at showed the grit, determina-

tion and focus.”

Ralston Valley held a 3-2 lead with just Lutz and the No. 1 singles match between Lowe and Cherry Creek senior Anika Sharma, remaining.

“I knew Ally had lost the rst set in her match and that was going to be a tough one,” Lutz said of the No. 3 and No. 1 single matches left on the court. “I knew it was going to come down to me. I knew I had all the support from my team and family. at helped a lot.”

Lowe was up 3-2 in the second set after dropping the rst set in a tiebreaker, but it didn’t matter. e No. 1 single match was stopped after Lutz’s win clinched the team victory.

“She is probably one of the biggest team players on our team,” Greason said of Lutz. “ is important to here and I think that is why she loved having that on her shoulders at that moment.”

Thornton gets its fresh water pipeline

Larimer adds 83 conditions to approval

BY MONTE WHALEY MWHALEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

e long-awaited and contentious nal 10-mile section of a water pipeline that will feed orton’s growth for the next several years, gained unanimous approval Wednesday night from the Larimer County Commissioners.

e decision to go ahead with ornton’s 1041 permit application came after two public hearings before the commissioners as well as lengthy meetings with Larimer residents about the impacts of the pipeline. Most of the 70-mile pipeline will run through Weld and Adams counties before ending south of ornton.

Larimer County residents and environmentalists worried the pipeline would damage and drain the Poudre River. ornton bought the water rights to the river in 1986 and city o cials say the water they are conveying is already being diverted at a point at the Larimer County canal. No additional diversions will be made once the pipeline is built, ofcials say.

ornton Interim City Manager Brett Henry said the commissioners’ decision signals a bright future for ornton’s further development and more protection for the Poudre River.

“We are immensely pleased that Larimer County has approved our 1041 permit application, representing a pivotal achievement in the ornton Water Project,” Henry said in an emailed statement.

“ is approval enables us to advance with the construction of a crucial water pipeline that will guarantee a sustainable and reliable water supply for our community,” Henry said. “Importantly, it reafrms our commitment to collaborative endeavors aimed at enhancing and safeguarding the Poudre River alongside partners like Poudre Flows and others.”

ornton has engaged in open and constructive dialogues with the local community, demonstrating a commitment to transparency and mutual respect, Henry said.

“Our approach has always been to not just meet but exceed regulatory and community outreach requirements, ensuring that our plans align with the broader goals of Larimer County and serve as a beacon for how communities can unite over signi cant projects, including water projects,” Henry said.

“As ornton moves forward,” Henry said, “we remain dedicated to minimizing construction impacts and maximizing the ecological and conservation-related bene ts of this project. We are not merely users of the Poudre River; we are deeply invested in its health and resilience. Our future, much like Larimer’s, is inextricably linked to the well-being of these critical water resources.”

Working with Larimer residents for a new route for the pipeline produced a new route that is signi cantly di erent than what was proposed in 2018 when Larimer County denied the plan, according to a city of ornton webpage.

e new alignment is 16.6 miles shorter than the previous one and includes a pump station located on private property owned by the Water Supply and Storage Company. e location is just two miles north of the site proposed in 2018, according to the city.

is new location is located further away from residential development and recognizes the sentiment expressed by Larimer County residents for the pump station to be located on private, non-residential property, the city said.

Lists of conditions

e county’s approval of the 1041 permit application comes with 83 conditions. ey include requiring ornton to retain a soil scientist, agronomist or agricultural engineer to help property owners impacted by the construction to protect or reestablish soil health.

orton can also review the alignment of the pipeline by 100 feet on either side if it doesn’t cross a property line, is approved by the property owner, and meets the overall criteria.

“We believe meeting the condition of approval is de nitely achievable,” City of ornton spokesman Todd Barnes said via email. “We agree with the conditions of approval and even provided the language for many of them.”

e Larimer County Planning Commission originally tacked on 75 conditions before voting 5 to 3 to recommend approval for ornton’s permit in April.

e city submitted its rst pipeline plan in 2018, which Larimer County denied a year later, saying the project failed to meet several criteria outlined in the 1041 process.

ornton sued Larimer County over that decision, but a state appeals court in 2022 ruled for the county.

e city then revamped its strategy and began reaching out to Larimer residents to get their opinions on the pipeline before resubmitting its application to Larimer County, Barnes has said.

e result is a new route that is 16.6 miles shorter than the previous one and includes a pump station located on private property owned by the Water Supply and Storage Company.

e location is just two miles north of the site proposed in 2018, according to the city.

is new location is located further away from residential development and recognizes the sentiment expressed by Larimer County residents for the pump station to be located on private, non-residential property, the city said.

If the pipeline is built, the city wants to tap into the new water source by 2027. e result would result in the construction of thousands of homes in the city and help address the rising costs of housing, according to the city.

Best of a bad solution

But Save the Poudre and other critics of ornton’s plan say the Poudre River water headed for ornton should remain in the river past Fort Collins. e water would be cooler and healthier than being run through a pipe, said Save the Poudre founder, Gary Wockner.

“We disagree with the Commissioners’ decision and are considering our options,” Wockner said via email ursday. “Using the River as the conveyance for ornton’s water is a common-sense win-win solution supported by the vast majority of Larimer County residents.”

Larimer County Commissioner Kristin Stephens said Wednesday that the conditions address issues over topsoil, wetlands, air quality,

dark skies and migratory birds and helped the pipeline project meet the permit criteria, according to the Coloradoan newspaper.

“ e pipeline that is proposed by ornton is probably the best of what feels like a bad solution,” Stephens said. She added it is shorter, goes through fewer properties and ornton “did a pretty good job interacting with the community.”

She added, according to the Coloradoan, “I wish that was the option, that we could say just, you know, ‘Let’s send it down the river.’

“Because that is what our community wants, and it feels less harmful to our community…We can’t do that.”

Introduction. 2.1 PSCo is a public utility and the owner and operator of a number of power generation stations, including the Cherokee Station (“Cherokee”) located on the west side of the South Platte River at 62nd Ave. and York Street, the Rocky Mountain Energy Center (“RMEC”) located just east of Hudson, Colorado, and Fort St. Vrain Station (“FSV”) located near the confluence of St. Vrain Creek and the South Platte River. 2.2 PSCo has entered into a long-term lease with Albert Frei & Sons, Inc., a Colorado corporation to provide water for industrial purposes at the Walstrum Quarry, located adjacent to Clear Creek at the intersection of U.S. Highway 6 and I-70 near Idaho Springs. Albert Frei and Sons and the Walstrum Quarry have since been acquired by Martin Marietta Materials (“Martin Marietta”). PSCo may also provide leased water to Martin Marietta’s Specification Aggregates Quarry, located in Golden northwest of the intersection of U.S. Highway 40 and Interstate 70 (the “Spec Agg Quarry”). 2.3 PSCo owns 303.5 shares in the Fisher Ditch Company, which has a total of 1,344 active shares, and 734.4 shares in the United Water Company, which has a total of 963 active shares and itself owns 604 shares of the Fisher Ditch Company. Between its Fisher Shares and United Shares, PSCo owns 764.1 shares of the Fisher Ditch Company, which represents 56.9% of the total number of Fisher Ditch shares. PSCo’s Fisher Ditch shares and United shares (collectively, the “Subject Water Rights”) were previously quantified and changed from irrigation to, among other uses, industrial use at Cherokee Station in Case Nos. 91CW5, 95CW156, and 02CW54. 2.4 In this application, PSCo seeks the following: 2.4.1 to change the Subject Water Rights to add the Walstrum Quarry, Spec Agg Quarry, Rocky Mountain Energy Center, and Fort St. Vrain Generating Station as additional places of use; and 2.4.2 to change the portion of the Subject Water Rights previously changed in Case No. 91CW5 to add augmentation as an additional type of use; and 2.4.3 to change the Subject Water Rights to add Stagecoach Reservoir as an additional place of storage; and 2.4.4 a new appropriative right of exchange of the Subject Water Rights from augmentation stations that PSCo is entitled to use that are located within the Fisher/United System upstream for diversion and use at the Walstrum Quarry or storage at Clear Lake Reservoir (“Clear Creek Exchange II”).

For the purposes of showing diligence as to completion of the appropriative rights of exchange decreed in the Original Decree, diligence as to any part of the Aurora water rights system used to operate or benefits from these exchanges shall be diligence as to the completion of the exchanges. Project Specific Efforts: During the diligence period of August 2017 through March 2024, Aurora has done at least the following work toward completion of the appropriation and application of the water rights decreed in the Original Decree (expenditure numbers are rounded to the nearest $1,000). Metro Wastewater Reclamation District Charges: Aurora expended at least $169,542,000 during this diligence period for fees for wastewater treatment of its water at the Metro Wastewater Reclamation facility. Such treatment is necessary for release of this water into the South Platte River Basin as a replacement source under exchanges herein. Sand Creek Water Reuse Plant Improvements: Aurora

operates this 5-million-gallon per day facility that provides treated water used for irrigation throughout the City and for discharge into Sand Creek for use as a replacement source for the exchanges herein. Improvements of this facility completed during this diligence period cost of $8,081,000. Aurora also expended an additional $7,048,000 in operating costs for the Sand Creek plant. These improvements are necessary for use of this water as a substitute supply under the exchanges herein. Quantification and Determination of Lawn Irrigation Return Flows: Aurora obtained a decree in Case No. 02-CW-341, Water Division 1, on September 25, 2008, quantifying LIRFs from its municipal system (and subsequent requantifications as required by the Decree in 02-CW-341), generated as a result of use of transmountain water rights, fully consumable in-basin water rights, decreed and permitted non-tributary sources and any other fully consumable water available to Aurora.

PRIMARIES

e races are interesting because they highlight internal GOP strife as the party tears itself apart over conservative purity tests.

In Senate District 10, Liston faces Rex Tonkins, husband of El Paso County GOP chairwoman Vickie Tonkins, and David Stiver, a business owner tried unsuccessfully to make the primary ballot in the district in 2020. Both Tonkins and Stiver were nominated via the district’s GOP nominating assembly, while Liston gathered signatures to make the ballot.

In Senate District 23, Kirkmeyer, a member of the Joint Budget Committee, faces construction project manager Natalie Abshier of Mead,

who ran unsuccessfully in 2021 for the St. Vrain Valley School Board. Kirkmeyer had more than $65,000 in the bank May 1, while Abshier had $100.

Kirkmeyer is among the most inuential Republicans at the state Capitol, often working closely with Democrats to craft the annual state budget. She was a key negotiator in the property tax relief bill negotiated in the nal days of the legislative session. But she has also been a consistent critic of Polis, using her role on the budget panel to highlight what she views as excessive spending and administrative bloat.

ere is no Democratic candidate in Senate District 23, nor any una liated or third-party candidates. at means whoever wins the Republican primary will be the de facto winner in November.

Further, Aurora initiated a study to examine enlargement of the Holbrook Reservoir to further facilitate operations. During this diligence period, Aurora made payments of approximately $419,000 to Holbrook under this agreement. Intergovernmental Agreement with LAVWCD: Pursuant to an Intergovernmental Agreement with the Lower Arkansas Valley Water Conservation District (“LAVWCD”), Aurora paid approximately $500,000 to LAVWCD for the identification and implementation of infrastructure improvements, research, and investigations designed to assist in the permitting or implementation of water leasing programs in the Lower Arkansas Valley, as well as remediation and restoration efforts in the Fountain Creek Corridor. Recovery of Yield (“ROY”): On August 17, 2016, Aurora, along with Colorado Springs, the Pueblo Board of Water Works, the City of Fountain, and the Southeastern Colorado Water Conservancy District, obtained a decree in Case No. 06CW120 adjudicating exchanges necessary as a result of the 2004 Regional Intergovernmental Agreement (“IGA”) between the various water providers and the City of Pueblo, whereby the water providers agreed to allow certain of their senior flows to pass through Pueblo’s RICD reaches on the condition those flows could be removed downstream and exchanged back upstream. This case lays the foundation for those exchanges. Aurora expended significant sums on these efforts during the diligence period. The ROY partners have acquired land to prospectively be used as a reservoir site at a cost of $780,000 to Aurora. Colorado River Basin: Aurora made the following diligent efforts with regard to its water supply system components in the Colorado River Basin that are necessary for continuation of its reusable supplies from the Colorado River Basin. Aurora has continued to pursue development of a joint project or projects as contemplated in a 1998 Memorandum of Understanding with Vail Associates, Upper Eagle River Regional Water Authority, Eagle River Water and Sanitation District, Cypress Climax Mining Company and the Colorado River Water Conservation District. On June 21, 2004, the City of Aurora entered into an additional Water Exchange Agreement with the Eagle Park Reservoir Company, the Colorado River Water Conservation District, the Eagle River Water and Sanitation District, the Upper Eagle Regional Water Authority, and Vail Associates, Inc. to supplement a 1998 Water Exchange Agreement. This agreement affects operations of the Homestake water rights and deliveries of reusable water to Aurora for use in the exchanges herein. On January 5, 2010, the City of Aurora entered into a Consolidated Water Exchange Agreement to supplement, merge and consolidate the 1998 and 2004 agreements. Aurora seeks to further maximize the operations of the Homestake water rights with these projects. A diligence application was filed by the parties to the agreements in regard to the subject exchange rights in 2023. Homestake Project: During this diligence period, work was done on the Homestake Arkansas River Diversion Channel to reduce erosion, including riprap and installation of a new roadway culvert. Additionally, Homestake Reservoir underwent resurfacing and improvement. Once water is transported over the Continental Divide through the

During this diligence period, Aurora executed a Recovery Agreement (3-27-20) with the United States and Wildlife Service regarding the Recovery Implementation Program for Endangered Fish Species in the Upper Colorado River Basin (Recovery Program). The purpose of the Recovery Agreement is to formalize Aurora’s participation in the Recovery Program, provide certainty that Aurora’s Colorado River depletions can occur consistent with the Endangered Species Act, and provide that Aurora will take reasonable actions to support implementation for the Recovery Elements specified in the 1999 Programmatic Biological Opinion. During the previous diligence period, the Upper Colorado River Endangered Fish Recovery Program, Recovery Implementation Program and Recovery Action Plan Participation Agreement (11-01-13) was executed with Northern Colorado Water Conservancy District, and a Ruedi Insurance Water Cost Participation Agreement (11-01-13) with the City and County of Denver. Through implementation of these agreements, the east slope water users’ commitment for 5412.5 acre-feet of water annually to the Recovery Program is being met. Aurora has and continues to provide its annual prorata share of operation and maintenance costs associated with these agreements. In addition, Aurora participates and annually contributes to the Colorado Water Congress Colorado River Project for collaboration and support of the Recovery Program by the water users in Colorado, Utah, and Wyoming. Non-Basin Specific: Protection Efforts: During this diligence period, Aurora spent more than $5,000,000 on legal services for participation in Water Divisions 1, 2 and 5 cases to protect the rights and interests of Aurora with regard to its water supply system and prosecution of changes of water rights to integrate acquired water rights into Aurora’s municipal water rights portfolio. Aurora reserves the right to identify additional relevant efforts that may be later discovered or to make upward adjustments to amounts expended on certain projects. Aurora has an extensive water rights portfolio, an extensive and complex water supply, collection, treatment and reuse system, and an extensive number of agreements, contracts, leases, etc. related to its facilities and the use, reuse and storage of its water rights. It is involved in many legal actions related to the collection, treatment, reuse and protection of its water rights. Further, the management, protection, and operation of the water rights and the facilities system involve numerous City of Aurora departments and staff members throughout the state.

Aurora made diligent efforts with regard to this application to determine and quantify all efforts made by the City toward completion of the appropriations and application of the water rights decreed in the Original Decree to beneficial use. However, it is reasonably possible that relevant efforts or expenditures may have been overlooked or need further upward adjustment. 6.
