Adams 12, Adams 14 seek nearly $1 billion to fix aging buildings, boost sta salaries
BY MONTE WHALEY MWHALEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
ornton City Council this month put its weight behind nancial proposals for two local school districts that total nearly $1 billion. One of those plans would prevent aging ornton High School from structural collapse, say school o cials.
Adams 12 Five Star Schools Board Vice President Amira Assad-Lucas told the city council that if a “windstorm came though, ornton would have to close down the school for safety … structural issues.”
Under an $830 million bond issue, ornton High – which opened in 1975 – would be rebuilt. “Rebuilding ornton High would not only revitalize Ward I in ornton, but also give value to our kids,” Assad-Lucas said.
e council needed little convincing to pass two resolutions calling for voters to support thebondissue for orntonbased Adams 12 as well as a $114 million bond package for theAdams 14School District in Commerce City.
Adams 12 is also asking for a $34.5 mill levy override to largely help boost salaries for teachers, as would a $10 million override for the Adams 14 district.

Colorado violated EPA ozone limits 40 times in summer of 2024
More exceedances than in 8 of the past 10 years, regional air quality o cials say. They’re seeking more caps on oil and gas activity
BY MICHAEL BOOTH THE COLORADO SUN
e northern Front Range counties violated EPA ozone standards on 40 days of the 2024 summer air pollution season, Colorado o cials said Monday, and their new action recommendations call for more restrictions on oil and gas activity.
Monitors watching the nine Front Range counties in Colorado’s “nonattainment” area for toxic ozone recorded violations of the EPA’s 2008 cap of 75 parts per billion on 22 summer days, according to the Regional Air Quality Council. e monitors showed exceedances of the tighter 2015 EPA standard of 70 parts per billion on 18 days.
Together, the 40 violation days were higher than totals in eight of the past 10 summer seasons, RAQC said. Colorado must bring average ozone levels below both the 2008 and 2015 standards in the next few years, or face increasing restrictions from EPA sanctions. e northern Front Range counties have already been forced to use more expensive reformulated gasoline that has lower emissions, and Colorado Air Pollution Control o cials must now write permits for any business projected to exceed 25 tons of emissions a year, down from the previous threshold of 50 tons per year.
Some recent regulations have yet to fully impact high ozone levels and need a chance to work, said RAQC spokesperson David Sabados. But policymakers cannot rest on past actions, he added — new sets of rules are needed to reverse the rising ozone trend of the past few years.
“ ere’s more that needs to get done, and we can’t just rely on what’s already passed getting fully implemented. We need to be looking at other options as well,” Sabados said. e rst two recommendations from the RAQC’s season wrapup would demand new cuts from the Colorado oil and gas industry, one of the biggest in the nation. Ozone is created from a mix of volatile organic compounds from petroleum and other sources, nitrogen oxides from industrial and vehicle sources, and particulates like
wild re smoke, all cooking under 90 degree-plus summer skies.
While the state oil and gas industry is subject to a number of new rules from recent years, more ozone could be taken out by requiring producers to recapture pollutants during so-called “blowdown” events where wellheads are cleared of methane and other residue, the RAQC report said.
e industry should also be required to overhaul “antiquated” pneumatic equipment that vents pollutants to the atmosphere from well sites and pipeline gathering sites. ose emissions can be recaptured, RAQC says.
Another recommendation previously pushed by the EPA and which should be revisited by Colorado ocials includes cutting “indirect sources” of emissions, such as vehicle trafc centered on growing warehouse operations, distribution centers and large entertainment or sports venues.
Smoke from wild res in Colorado and elsewhere in the West has also made the state problem worse in recent summers, Sabados said, but the monitors show that on most of the bad smoke days, ozone created by other controllable sources would still have put readings above the 70 or 75 ppb caps.
“Wild re smoke cannot be a scapegoat explanation,” the RAQC summary said.
Legislators are looking at new bills
‘There’s more that needs to get done, and we can’t just rely on what’s already passed getting fully implemented. We need to be looking at other options as well’
David Sabados, RAQC spokesperson
for the 2025 session to help cut ozone, and RAQC and the Air Quality Control Commission also have new potential policies and rules on their fall calendars, Sabados said.
“We thought it was important to send this out now,” he said. e violations are warnings of further crackdowns by the federal government, and of ongoing health problems in disproportionately impacted minority and lower-income communities, said Ean Tafoya, director of Colorado GreenLatinos. Tafoya
is in Washington, D.C., this week, and in a meeting with Secretary of Health and Human Services Xavier Becerra noted the high co-pays for asthmaghting medicine in communities with high illness rates.
“It’s very challenging for our community,” Tafoya said.
A spokesperson for American Petroleum Institute-Colorado said they could not o er new comments about potential regulations, but pointed to past statements that the industry is complying with a host of new emissions control rules imposed by the Air Quality Control Commission and the Energy and Carbon Management Commission. e trade group has also argued that because of recent regulation, the energy produced from Colorado comes with fewer emissions than that produced in other states.
e RAQC’s “candor” in illustrating a bad 2024 ozone season is “refreshing,” said Jeremy Nichols of the nonpro t Center for Biological Diversity, but also seems like state o cials “throwing up hands and saying they just can’t keep up.”
“From almost day one, Governor (Jared) Polis has urged swift and aggressive action to reduce ozone yet here we are still stuck in the same mess,” Nichols said. While air pollution monitors show oil and gas activity contributing to spiking ozone, the state Air Pollution Control Division keeps permitting more and more drilling sites, he said.
e most high-pro le action in recent months was a ban on summer use of gas-powered lawn equipment by parks departments and other large institutions, including mowers and leaf blowers. e small engines contribute a small but signi cant portion of the daily summer ozone mix.
“Unless and until we see legitimately bold action to reduce ozone, including at least a pause on oil and gas permitting, then I don’t think anyone living in the Denver Metro-North Front Range region can breathe easy,” Nichols said.
e nine-county nonattainment area includes Denver, Arapahoe, Douglas, Boulder, Adams, Broomeld, Je erson and Weld counties, and part of Larimer County.
One of the most prevalent causes of poor air quality in Colorado is ground-level ozone. SHUTTERSTOCK IMAGE
Visiting Other Countries This Year Gave Me New Insight on What’s Possible in Society
Tuesday evening Rita and I returned from completing our world tour. It took us from Los Angeles to Hawaii, French Polynesia, New Zealand, Australia, Malaysia, Vietnam, Singapore, Thailand, Sri Lanka, India, South Africa, Senegal, Morocco, Portugal, Spain, France, England, Sweden, Finland, Poland, Germany, Denmark, Norway, Iceland, Greenland, and Canada. From Montreal, we drove through northern New England at peak foliage, before flying home from Boston on Tuesday. In addition to daily lectures by distinguished diplomats and professors, we went on shore excursions in each port, learning how life differs from country to country.
Crime rates, especially gun violence, is so much lower everywhere we visited, because gun ownership is so rare compared to America, where there are more guns than people.
Don’t Miss Saturday’s Green Homes Tour!
In Copenhagen, over 50 percent of workers commute by bicycle, helped by winters which are milder than in Denver. Montreal, however, is recognized as the most bicycle-friendly city in the world, with more separated bike lanes than Amsterdam.
Being a Realtor, I naturally was interested in how people were housed, and, being committed as I am to sustainable living and saving the planet from the ravages of climate change, I paid attention to how sustainable their energy grid is, and how water and waste are handled. As a longtime owner of EVs, I also noted whether the places we visited were more or less on board with the shift to EVs than here at home.
Altogether, Rita and I were away for over five months, with a 3½-month break back in Colorado this summer. I posted my observations every day at http://wherearejimandrita.substack.com. We were most impressed with the Scandinavian countries — Sweden, Denmark and Norway. As I reported on my blog, every bus and truck in those countries is equipped with an breathalyzer interlock device. The vehicle will not start without the driver proving through that device that he has zero alcohol in his bloodstream. That’s right, not below a legal limit but zero. Passenger cars don’t have such a device, but the penalties for driving with even a low alcohol level are severe. The result is a huge decline in alcohol-related accidents and deaths over the past decades.
Here in America we have photo radar units which generate speeding and red light tickets for drivers, but the tickets do not result in points against your license. In Sweden the secondary roads have photo radar units every few miles, and if you are captured on camera going more than 15 kilometers per hour over the speed limit, your driver’s license can be suspended. (Fortunately, even the rural highways have bus service.) On my blog you’ll find a video showing one of these roadside radar units. Here’s a screenshot from it:
As far as we could tell, homelessness was not a significant problem anywhere we visited, unlike in America. In Sweden and Norway, most middle-class people live in the city but have a summer cottage, so statistically there is more than one home per family overall.
Single-family homes are much rarer in these other countries. Most people either rent or own an apartment in a multi-family structure. In Montreal we were shown the six-family homes constructed following World War II to house returning soldiers. In America, the post-war pattern was set by Levittown: subdivisions of one-story homes, typically with a garage, made possible, of course, by all the empty land here.
Levittown is also famous for not selling to black soldiers, which brings up another observation. In one of the lectures we attended about why Scandinavians regularly ranked as the happiest people in the world, it was pointed out that those countries have no history of serfdom or indentured servants, as one of the reasons. There’s less ingrained fear among populations.
Regarding EVs, there was a vast disparity in the adoption rate of electric vehicles from country to country. In Norway, effective Jan. 1 of this year, every taxicab had to be an EV, and in Bergen all city buses and most tourist buses are electric. In Montreal, the EV adoption rate is similar to here, but the trucks and buses are all diesel and the street noise level is unpleasantly high.
I encourage you to check out my blog for other insights.
Now is the best time to create a more sustainable home. The benefits are huge, and the savings are tempting. But how do you start? The easy first step is to experience the annual Metro Denver Green Homes Tour, of which Golden Real Estate is a co-sponsor.

Ranum High’s first innovation? Itself
Reborn campus o ers pathways in health, aviation and biotech
BY MONTE WHALEY MWHALEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
e full resurrection of Iver C. Ranum High School in Westminster is nearly complete and is due largely to society’s thirst for technology.
Ranum High, which opened in 1961 and closed in 2010, is being reimagined as the Iver C. Ranum Innovation Campus, with pathway courses in aviation engineering, biotechnology and cyber technology. Every pathway
course at Ranum Innovation Campus o ers stackable industry credentials and college credits, say Westminster Public Schools o cials.
Phase One of the campus opened last month and on Wednesday a fullblown ribbon cutting ceremony drew school and city o cials, Iver C. Ranum students – both past and present – as well as members of the Iver C. Ranum family.
Fittingly, doing the ribbon cutting itself was a drone. at, and the ambitious plans for the school, impressed Iver Osborn, grandson of Iver. C. Ranum. His grandfather was superintendent of Adams County School District 50 from 1950 to 1975.

think he would be pretty happy of what’s going on here today.”
e Innovation Campus will bring public and private resources together to prepare students for future jobs, said Board of Education President Christine Martinez. “Here students will be able to reach their full potential,” Martinez said.
Students will be taught by industry professionals and educators while using state-of-the-art equipment, school o cials said. Students can move quickly into the workforce to earn a living wage or get a head start on a college education with college credits they have already accumulated, Martinez said.
“ is campus will help pave the way for the future,” she said.
e idea to retool the Ranum building to nurture new technologies emerged about two years ago, say school o cials. It also served as a middle school after the high school closed.
“ is campus is the culmination of a lot of work by people in the district and partners in the community who have an exciting vision of the future,” added Westminster Superintendent Jeni Gotto. “ is (today) is a milestone event in the history of our district. Our community will be stronger and more prosperous because of it.”
Phase one of the Innovation Campus was funded from $10 million in Certi cates of Participation generated
by the district’s 2018 mill levy override and $10 million from the general fund.
Another $40 million would be invested in Iver C. Ranum Innovation Campus if voters approve Ballot Measure 4C. e measure clari es that $111 million in debt can be approved without imposing any new tax, said District Spokesman Stephen Saunders.
If voters say so, the measure will extend the district’s 2006 bond issue, Saunders said. e $96.8 bond issue paid for the construction of Westminster High School and the Hodgkins Leadership Academy. e bond proceeds also paid for upgrades in the district include installing air conditioning in almost every school, Saunders said.
Long-term plans for the Innovation Campus include the creation of weekend and evening classes that will provide continuing education and career opportunities for adults in the community, making it a multi-generation hub for Adams County, the district states.
Ranum senior Joyce Khang said Wednesday she has been able to learn real-life techniques while enrolled in the health sciences biotechnology pathway. “We get to work in classrooms that simulate what goes on in an actual hospital,” Khang said. “I think I am getting great experience that I can use later.”

Andrews o cially moves to city manager role
BY MONTE WHALEY MWHALEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
e search for Westminster’s new city manager did not take long, mainly because the top candidate was sitting only a few feet away from city councilors.
“You have sat there doing your job before getting this new job,” Mayor Nancy McNally said Monday to Jody Andrews. “You know what this council needs and where we need some help.”
Andrews, who has served as Acting City Manager since the July resignation of Mark Freitag, was sworn in Monday night by Municipal Judge Jason Lantagne. Andrews was surrounded by his family.
Councilors also approved an employment agreement with Andrews, who will be paid an annual base salary of $335,000.
Andrews said Sept. 23 he was honored he was picked to lead city sta .
“ ere were some great candidates for the job. I am just glad the council
picked me,” he said. “I think I know the city. I live here, and I have worked in the city hall for quite some time. I think I can help in any way I can.”
Andrews had been Westminster’s acting city manager before, from October 2021-22. He has been in several various leadership roles for more than a decade, including as Deputy City Manager (2015-2021) and Public Works Director (2013-2015), according to the city.
Prior to his work for Westminster, Andrews served as the Deputy City
Manager for Vancouver, British Columbia. During his tenure with the city of Vancouver, he served as the project manager for Vancouver’s 2010 Olympic Village, according to the city.
Andrews also served as the director at the Abu D Urban Planning Council (2009-2012) where he led the design and construction of the United Arab Emirates’ capital city. Andrews earned a Bachelor of Applied Science degree from the University of British Columbia, according to the city.

Pirates
of all stripes descend on city demanding grog and a good time
BY MONTE WHALEY MWHALEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
“Aaarrr!”
At least that is according to the dread pirate Fortisque, part of a pirate crew called the Crimson Marque. e Crimson Marque is the fastest growing pirate group in Colorado and is best described on its Facebook page as a
social group with a pirate problem.
People shouldn’t necessarily fear the Crimson Marque, if the scurvy band has access to local festivals and concerts.
“Now and again, we also do karaoke,” said Leu Bauer of Commerce City. Bauer is the alter ego of Fortisque who made his appearance at this year’s Northglenn Pirate Fest.
e festival, which ran Sept. 20 and 21 at Northglenn’s EB Rains Jr., Memorial Park drew closet pirates dressed in all their regalia from across the metro area to enjoy food from on-site vendors and grog including rum, mead and beer.
ere was also song, provided early Saturday afternoon by Nerea e Fiddler, who played boisterous Scottish Celtic tunes to the delight of small pirate children. Festival goers enjoyed pirate sword ghts (with plastic swords), getting photos with mermaids and bounce houses.
Bauer (aka Fortisque) said the Northglenn festival is a highlight on the metro-area pirate calendar.
ose get-togethers feed his pirate soul, he said.
“I don’t know. I’ve just always been a pirate lover,” Bauer said. “As a kid, I wanted to be a pirate.”
e festival is the ideal time to
reach out to people with information about the Intermountain Health facility, which includes a free-standing emergency hospital next door to EB Rains park, said Pamela Smith, an Intermountain Health nurse. Smith and two other nurses were among vendors manning individual tents at the Pirate Fest. e nurses gave out information and free items, including hand sanitizers. is was the seventh year the hospital had a tent at the fest.
“ is my favorite event to go to,” Smith said. “ e people here are so engaged and fun. ey are just happy to be here and to be themselves.”

Popularity comes at a cost at new sustainability center
Westminster sta working to address noise complaints and other growing pains
BY MONTE WHALEY
MWHALEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Westminster’s new Sustainability Center located in the southwest corner of the city is a huge success, bringing in residents and their old cardboard boxes and other used up items for recycling.
But the facility is also dealing with growing pains and noise complaints that have led to some changes in its operation.
e center, 6020 W. 91st Ave., opened in April to provide a centralized site for residents to drop o recycled materials. e city’s former recycling dropo sites were closed in early May over issues of bin contamination, illegal dumping and health and safety concerns, according to the city.
Once the sites were closed, the number of customers driving into the centralized site jumped, the city says.
“By early June, the recycling site received over 1,000 customers each week, far exceeding predictions,” a sta report to the city council states. With the higher volume, came complaints from nearby residents about noise generated by the site, city spokesman Andy Lee said via email.
“After receiving feedback from the community about the noise, Sustainability Center’s collection operations were moved to the south side of the building and away from the townhomes across the street,” city spokesman Andy Lee said via email.
“We believe this will cut down on the noise, and we will continue to monitor the situation closely,” Lee said. “Our goal is to be good neighbors. e Sustainability Center is a success and with it comes some operational challenges that we will x.”
e operators of the site – SustainAbility Recycling – have made other modi cations including limiting single-stream services to just Westminster residents. Roughly half of the customers who come to the recycling site are
GREEN HOMES TOUR
SustainAbility co-founder Melissa Kraai explains what items will be taken at Westminster’s new recycling center
from Denver, Federal Heights, Arvada, and cities and towns in the foothills, the sta report states.
Keeping nonresidents from using the site has involved putting up additional signs, updating information on the website, and telling nonresidents that only Westminster residents can use the facility, the sta report states.
Proof of Westminster residency is currently voluntary but may become more stringent if it is needed to manage volume, the city says.
Still, hard-to-recycle and reuse items are available to anyone, regardless of residency, and currently make up less than 10% of customer visits, the report states.
Cardboard is now collected separately from other materials and baled, rather than placed in the compactor.
ere are also limits to the amount of cardboard and size of cardboard that customers can bring to the site, the sta report states.
“Customers are asked to break down or cut cardboard to a manageable size prior to arrival,” the report says.
An e ort to provide composting at the site has been put on hold for now, the city says. e huge volume of single-stream, hard-to-recycle, and reuse materials has made it hard to nd room on the site for composting services.
“Compost services are currently paused but will be revisited in the future if capacity at the site changes,” the sta report states.

According to the U.S. Forestry Service trees at altitude, especially the aspens, begin a natural cycle in which chlorophyll production slows and eventually stops. Chlorophyll is the pigment that gives leaves their green color, so when it breaks down, the green color disappears.
e technical de nition and explanation of what takes place every fall is one thing, the technicolor results of the phenomenon are what dazzles visitors every year.
“I love seeing the aspens changing colors like the yellow and the orange. It’s pretty cool mixed in with all the evergreen trees. It’s a pretty cool sight,” Courtney Montgomery of Denver said alongside her husband Alex.
e pair shared a day o from their vocation as youth ministers at the Denver Church of Christ to visit the 10,000 foot mountains in Georgetown.
“It’s just nice and peaceful out here,” Alex Montgomery said. “Yeah, it’s a gem.”
Visitors to the mountains of Guanella Pass witnessed the steady and constant rush of tra c heading into altitude to see the show “free of charge” provided by nature and available to all.
“No place else I’d want to be,” said Colorado native Maureen Blackford with her sister Carol Black.
“ is is a favorite playground, you can’t ask for better nature, wildlife, blue skies,” Black said. “You got such a beautiful palette of greens and yellows and oranges and reds. Not too many states have this array of colors.”
“You gotta get out and enjoy it while you can, you blink and you’ll miss it,” Blackford added.
According to Georgetown o cials, the economic impact of this yearly phenomenon is di cult to quantify but the tra c alone with license plates from California, Texas, New York, Oklahoma and overwhelming Colorado are evident of the tourist dollars owing into the town.
“I just think they’re just breathtaking every year,” Ogg said.

VOICES
Council’s budget requests reflect emphasis on human services
The city published the proposed 2025 City Budget on Aug. 23 and held a formal public hearing on it on Sept. 9. Subsequently, the Westminster City Council had its own input on the proposed 2025 City Budget, and focusing on helping people more.
Adoption of the ensuing year’s budget must be accomplished by Oct. 28, per city charter. Sta brought back responses/answers for council at the Sept. 23 work session. e requests/ inquiries re ect a clear focus on beefing up city human services and/or increased relief on water bills, more assistance for Westminster’s small business program and expanding the qualifying income threshold for the bill credit program.
Regarding increasing resources for people experiencing homelessness in Westminster, there are a variety of items that sta estimates will cost an additional $1 million. e package includes two additional Homeless Navigators, additional options for laundry services and shelter options when temperatures hit 32 degrees. Sta recommends paying for it by taking funds that would have gone to an adjacent city’s potential navigation center. e
We’re seeing the impacts all around us: wild res up and down the Front Range, unhealthy air quality from smoke and pollution, extreme heat forcing us indoors, in ated energy costs due to increased usage of air conditioning - if we’re lucky enough to have access. Climate change is here and now, and we know that many communities across Colorado are su ering from its impacts more than others.
e speci cs of oil and gas regulations may seem trivial, but this is where the seeds of systemic environmental racism are sown. After the summer of 2020, the collective conscience of our country began to include the experiences of commu-
intent would still be to participate in the possible navigation center with reserve or other funds.
Easing water rates
With favorable interest rates on the recent water revenue bond sale, the question of lowering next year’s water rates was raised.
Sta is recommending two options, both of which would set up two-year rate adjustments. One calls for a 4% rate in both 2025 and 2026 while the other option o ers a 3.75% rate in 2025 and 4.25% in 2026. More detail will have come out at the sta presentation.
Also, there was the idea of expanding the city’s Water Bill Assistance Program to help utility customers. One option was proposed to increase the budget by $80,000 to $190,000, and another option was to increase by $115,000 to $225,000. e rst option would maintain the current $20 per month assistance but add the proviso that no customers would be denied
assistance due to a lack of funding. e second option would raise the assistance to $25 per month with the same proviso.
ese estimates were predicated on implementing a “round up” program to generate some additional funding to help pay the increased cost. Inquiries were made about increasing the qualifying income threshold for the Bill Credit Program. Also, council asked about increasing funding to the Human Services Board by $25,000 to address increased requests from nonpro ts serving Westminster residents.
Jody Andrews hired as Westminster’s permanent city manager
e nal and most important step in hiring a new city manager was accomplished at the Sept. 23 council meeting. On a 7-0 vote, the council unanimously hired Jody Andrews and approved his employment contract as Westminster’s permanent city manager. His initial salary will be $335,000, with the contract taking e ect that day. It’s a big step in the right direction for city council to accomplish this. As I have stated before, Jody Andrews is the right person at the right time to lead Westminster forward and
to re-establish stability in the organization. Congratulations, Jody!
“Jazz under the Stars” was a big hit I have been writing about the “Heart of Westminster” neighborhood’s desire for almost 2½ years to establish an outdoor gathering place/activity spot. e subject land is owned by the city of Westminster on the southwest corner of 73rd Avenue and Lowell Boulevard.
After several ts and starts, the site came alive on Sept. 20 as “Jazz under the Stars” with all the trimmings. e band was great, the “Speakeasy Prohibition-style cocktails” were nice and strong, the trained dancers offered quick dance lessons and the appetizers from Famille Restaurant were yummy. People were encouraged to come dressed according to the Speakeasy times.
Mayor Nancy McNally and Councilmembers Amber Hott and Kristine Ireland enjoyed the festive evening’s activities. Even local businessman Dino Valente was spotted there with a quick turn on the dance oor. (Who has the photos?)
Stronger protections from oil and gas operations needed for health, environment
nities marginalized by racism. Instead of wringing our hands about the inequality borne from racism in our country, we now have an opportunity to act. By demanding that these rules acknowledge and mitigate the direct harms of oil and gas production to the people most a ected by them, we move the needle towards justice.
As a family physician, I see the impacts of climate change almost daily in the patients I treat. In Colorado, children experience a greater number of asthma attacks on high ozone days, older adults’ risk and concern for their cardiovascular health increases during extreme heat days, pregnant people intuitively know that wild-
re smoke harms their unborn child. Strong research proves that climate change and pollutants directly compromise our health. is is especially true for our most vulnerable communities: residents that are predominantly BIPOC and low income.
Not only do I treat members of these disproportionately impacted communities, but I also live in one. Here in Larimer County, we are surrounded by oil and gas operations that are polluting our air, destroying our environment and harming our health. We know that oil and gas industry operations that surround us negatively impact the quality of the air we breathe and the water we drink. ese operations create noise, odor, and direct pollution of the air, water and
earth upon which our lives ultimately depend. Colorado de nes these as “cumulative impacts”, but the real question is: how do we meaningfully protect public health and our environment from these impacts? Recognizing the importance of protecting the health of people and our environment, Colorado law now mandates new rules to mitigate the cumulative impacts of oil and gas operations, one of the top drivers of climate-accelerating pollution in Colorado. Tasked with managing oil and gas operations in the state, the Energy and Carbon Management Commission (ECMC) is set to decide these new rules this September.

“Familiaris” is the follow-up to Wroblewski’s bestselling debut, “ e Story of Edgar Sawtelle,” which was an Oprah’s Book Club pick when it was published in 2008. In “Familiaris,” Wroblewski turns back the clock, telling the story of Edgar’s
BALLOT
ornton council members voted unanimously for both bond and mill levy proposals. Councilmember Kathy Henson said the bond issues will be pivotal in keeping local communities strong and vibrant.
“Public education is the best investment we can make in our communities,” Henson said. “Schools are the cornerstone of a … civil society,” she said.
“Strong schools make strong communities,” Mayor Jan Kulmann added.
A breakdown of the Adams 12 question
Adams 12 board secretary Paula Battistelli told the council that the mill levy override would help the district nancially in its quest to attract and retain teachers. She said Adams 12 teachers earn far below from what their colleagues draw in neighboring districts, Battiestelli said.
“Our teachers deserve more,” she said, noting teachers in the Boulder Vally School District can make up to $100,000 annually.
e Adams 12 district, in a breakdown of the two proposals, states that nearly 10% of high school students are on Career and Technical Education waitlists for high-demand classes.
e district says that 7,835 students at 23 elementary schools don’t have access to computer science, and that there is $604 million in critical maintenance needs over the next 5 years including ag-
grandfather, John, and the origin of the Sawtelle family farm.
e event will include a reading, a short Q&A, and a chance for book signing. No registration required.
Utility Bill Assistance Available
e Northglenn Community Foundation o ers utility bill assistance to Northglenn households that have lived in the city for at least six months and meet certain income thresholds. Funds are paid directly to the city utility account.
e program is funded by fundraisers throughout the year as well as by individual contributions from people who want to help their family, neighbors, and friends who may be having di culty making ends meet.
Applications for assistance are re-
ing roofs, plumbing, pavement, and heating and cooling systems.
Without raising the tax rate, the district says that $830 million bond would: Expand career and technical educational facilities to serve more students in middle and high school.
Rebuild and modernize aging schools that have reached the end of their operational life and lack ADA accessibility.
Build a centralized food warehouse and scratch kitchen that saves money and offers a greater variety of nutritious food.
Enhance school technology and network connectivity.
Improve school safety by upgrading door locks, installing permanent walls, and modernizing communication systems; and replace aging roofs, heating, cooling, and plumbing systems, repair and improve school grounds, ll and x potholes, and improve playgrounds, for example.
e district says that the $34.5 million mill levy override, which would cost a homeowner about $20 more each month on a home valued at $500,000, would invest in:
Expanding career and technical education programs for students at all levels, including computer science at elementary, robotics and business entrepreneurship at middle school, and architectural design and aviation at high school.
Attracting and retaining highly qualied educators, support sta and safety personnel through competitive wages.
Providing opportunities for students to develop life skills and have access to mental health support; and
viewed and grants are awarded monthly based on a number of criteria. e grants are paid directly to the recipient’s City of Northglenn Utility account.
For information, visit the Northglenn Community Foundation website at https://northglenncf.org/utility-assistance-program.
Legal self-help clinic
e Access to Justice Committee hosts a free, legal self-help clinic from 2 to 3:30 p.m. on the rst Tuesday of every month. e program is for customers without legal representation who need help navigating through legal issues. Volunteer attorneys are available to discuss family law, civil litigation, property, and probate law. Call 303-405-3298 and ask for a Legal Self-Help Clinic at least 24 hours before.
Increasing access to college courses, internships/apprenticeships, and industry certi cations for high school students.
e Adams 14 bond questions
e Adams 14 School District board agreed at their Aug. 29 meeting to put two questions on the November ballot.
Adams 14 school o cials say that the $113.9 million bond issue would be earmarked for two areas, upgrading the school’s facilities and providing day-today operational funding.
e second would add a $10 million mill levy override geared toward sta salaries. For homeowners in the district, the cost of the proposed bond is $6.52 a month per $100,000 of home value — or, the district says, the cost of purchasing two street tacos or a six-pack of soda.
“We believe that this proposal is essential to the continued success of our students and sta ,” Superintendent Dr. Karla Loría said in a written statement. “As we outlined in our ve-year strategic plan, we are committed to ensuring our schools have the resources they need to provide a quality teaching and learning environment. is bond and mill levy will help us achieve that goal.”
Part of the bond would be used to make signi cant improvements to meet modern educational standards, according to a district press release. e bond funding would be used to renovate outdated buildings and ensure a safe, conducive learning environment for all students, according to the release. It would also provide additional money to maintain and enhance the quality of education provided to students.

e event was planned and hosted by the city of Westminster, which was sold out to 125 ticket holders. e mood in the huge tent was upbeat and fun, while couples gathered to dance, chat and sample the appetizers and drinks. e inaugural event for the site could not have been better.
Kudos to City sta for their creativity with this unique event and executing it well. More advance publicity would be suggested to help people know about such fun outings in the future. It denitely was a “community builder.”
Thornton seeks funds for Big Dry Creek trailhead project
ornton City Council gave a favorable nod to applying for a Land and Water Conservation Fund grant, which would help pay for trailhead improvements at Big Dry Creek and 152nd Avenue. e $948,000 grant application includes design work of the public entrance to the trailhead from York Street with required roadway improvements,
POST
Unfortunately, the most recent draft rules put forth by the Commission fail to implement additional protections in disproportionately impacted communities, going against Colorado law. Instead, this recent version caters to industry requests that yield no meaningful protections at the expense of the Coloradans who need them the most.
Currently, a 2,000 foot `setback’ - the distance between residential, school, and high occupancy buildings and new oil and gas development - is required, but there are signi cant o -ramps that undercut this critical protection. An earlier version of the ECMC’s draft rules would have strengthened this setback by removing these problematic loopholes, but the ECMC reversed course in its most recent rule draft and walked back community protections. is is unacceptable and directly threatens public health and environmental justice, as research that indicates the chance of adverse health impacts greatly increases within 2,000 feet of oil and gas opera-
a parking lot, a shade structure gathering pavilion, a pedestrian bridge over the creek, site furniture, lighting, signage and appropriate/native landscaping.
e site is one of seven Big Dry Creek open space areas owned by the city, which recently received a release from the Army Corps of Engineers from any further stream work enhancements concerning reestablishing the subject parcel’s creek reach. e trail is a major one, going from Standley Lake Dam in Westminster to northern ornton.
Such improvements would further enhance the length of the trail and provide added outdoor enjoyment. With more people enjoying outdoor activities, it is important for cities to work together and connect trail segments.
Northglenn ponders electric vehicle charging station fees
e city of Northglenn has been among the early providers of electric vehicle charging stations. anks to a successful grant, the city has been able to install two EV stations with a third one soon to go operational. e two operating stations are located at the Senior Center/Parsons eatre (1 E. Memo-
rial Drive) and at the City Maintenance and Operations facility (12301 Claude Court). e third site will be at City Hall (11701 Community Center Drive).
e use of the EV stations is free thanks to the grant. However, the city council is contemplating implementing a fee starting this month. A membership with service provider Charge Point is required in order to use the stations — check their website. e proposed pricing calls for an idle time fee of 60 minutes grace period after the charging is complete. en, a 25 cent-per-minute charge would be imposed.
e energy charge would be 15 cents per kWh to re ect the EV price average per kWh and help cover ongoing costs.
e maximum session fee would be $20 per 24-hour consecutive period, in case someone leaves their car overnight. Sta notes that Charge Point collects a 10% fee for processing a pricing plan. It is 10% of the total dollar amount charged prior to being remitted to the city.
Charging stations are certainly needed to make the use of the vehicles more convenient. While sales of new EVs have softened, the charging stations will still be needed in the future.
tions due to proximity and exposure to toxic and cancer-causing emissions like methane and benzene.With this rulemaking, the Commission has the opportunity to better protect our communities and public health. While some of us were hopeful that they would heed the call to action, the most recent draft of the rules sacri ce public health to the pro ts of oil and gas companies. e rules as currently drafted are dismissive and a slight to vulnerable communities and to those of us worried about our collective health and wellbeing.
We must call on the ECMC Commissioners to ful ll their duty and put forth earnest and evidence-based rules that will create meaningful protections for our health, environment, and climate. It’s time we hold the oil and gas industry accountable for the substantial pro ts they’ve made on the backs of Coloradans at the expense of the safety and public health of our communities.

Will there be a second presidential debate?
e question of whether there will be a second presidential debate reminds me of the old song lyrics. “First you say you will, and then you don’t.”
As of Sept. 22, Vice President Kamala Harris has gone on record saying she “gladly accepted” CNN’s invitation for another debate on Oct. 23. When asked, former President Donald Trump stated it was “too late,” as early voting will have already started. e press pointed out that he previously pushed for a debate on Sept. 25 on NBC after the start of mail and early voting in several states. I would have speculated just the opposite outcome on CNN’s invitation, with Harris turning down the invitation. After all, she was viewed as the winner of the rst debate, except by diehard Republicans. If you win the rst time, why take a chance on letting your opponent “get back in the rink”?

Brighton author pens crime novel
‘Redemption’s Echo’ inspired by trauma of tra cking victims
BY BELEN WARD BWARD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Cathy McIntosh empathized with victims and survivors of human tra cking, and it ignited a desire to make a di erence to help victims nd purpose and meaning in their lives through her storytelling. e result of that desire was for the Brighton author to write her rst ction novel, “Redemption’s Echo,” which hit the press and was published Sept. 25.
“It’s splendid to see such a large and impactful project come to fruition. I’m thrilled!” McIntosh said.
In the synopsis of “Redemption’s Echo,” McIntosh describes her main character as a female detective who works in the ctional town of Adams County, Colorado, who must overcome her traumatic past to nd a way to solve the cold case of her sister’s murder.
“ e two girls grew up in a very
traumatic upbringing,” she said.
“One sister was being human trafcked and fully cooperated to protect her little sister. She ends up as the victim in the story; she passes away, so there is a homicide.
“When the little sister grows up around law enforcement, she’s kneedeep in the investigation. One of the detectives from Adams County becomes her mentor, and she then follows in his footsteps and becomes a law enforcement detective herself.”
en, McIntoch said, in a series of strange events, she ends up in cold cases, and her deceased sister’s case is one of those, so she must nd the pillar of her sister’s murder.
McIntosh’s journey to become an author
McIntosh said she worked with a church and women’s ministry in Brighton, then left the ministry and went into marketing.
“My husband, Michael McIntosh, ran for Adams County sheri and was elected several terms ago. It was when I rst tasted marketing and enjoyed its many facets,” she said.
“I had written a couple of Bible studies and had done a lot of devotional writing back in those days,
and the light bulb started to go on. I was writing, and that was great.”
McIntosh said the marketing piece is critical to writers, and she started moving into many di erent areas with marketing. While working on her husband’s political campaign, she also worked on receiving her marketing certi cation with marketing guru Donald Miller.
“I doubt you’ve ever heard of him, but he’s notiable in the marketing industry, so I’ve received my marketing certi cations that have helped many businesses and nonpro ts strengthen their messaging to attract the people best suited for their cause and business,” she said.
Mcintosh said Miller wrote a book called “Blue Like Jazz” years ago, which became a best-seller.
“He started as a writer and also turned into a marketing guru. So, without being very intentional about trying to be like Donald Miller, following his footsteps in a minimal capacity is how I got into marketing,” McIntosh said.
Why detective stories?
McIntosh said she was fascinated with detective stories, and she’s still determining how many people, es-
pecially women, are drawn to crime stories.
“For me, it has a lot to do with putting the pieces of the puzzle together and watching the systems work, and the feeling of justi cation in the end
Cathy McIntosh, with her crime novel “Redemption’s Echo,” was released on September 25, 2024.

What a rise in COVID means post-pandemic
Disease still needs to be taken seriously, experts say
BY JACE DICOLA
THE GRAND JUNCTION DAILY SENTINEL
Nationwide, COVID-19 cases have risen over the summer.
No, there won’t be another pandemic; but, precautions are critical to prevent a sick week o work or school.
Mesa County Public Health Disease Surveillance Specialist Julie Hartshorn said the virus is still especially dangerous for certain demographics.
“COVID does continue to circulate, and it does impact our elderly population and people with underlying conditions more than some other members of the community,” Hartshorn said. “It’s still to be taken seriously.
“We don’t want people to get that sick with COVID, and it still happens.”
Hartshorn said that data on COVID-19 is now less thorough due to loosened requirements around reporting positive COVID tests and the prevalence of at-home tests.
However, many cases diagnosed and treated in a medical setting are still reported, and wastewater surveillance across the state provides community-wide insights.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, wastewater surveillance can detect the spread of a virus earlier than individual tests, before a person becomes symptomatic and even among asymptomatic residents.
Hartshorn said case numbers and the concentration of COVID-19 in several counties’ wastewater mirror the increasing trend seen nationwide. She said this increase is less severe than some of the other spikes seen since the pandemic.
“ e levels right now are higher than they were at the beginning of the summer, but they are still less than the peaks we’ve seen in the winter,” Hartshorn said.
According to the Colorado Department of Public Health & Environment’s weekly report on COVID-19 trends by wastewater treatment facilities, 13 of the 20 participating facilities saw a steady increase in viral concen-
tration. A steady increase is reported when the two most recent samples indicate a statistically signi cant rise in viral concentration.
Facilities that reported a steady increase, as of last Friday, were located in several areas across Colorado but a majority are on the Front Range.
Importance of prevention
In addition to the dangers COVID-19 can pose, especially to older and immunocompromised people, Hartshorn said it makes sense to be proactive.
Although current trends cannot predict what COVID will be like through the entire season, u and RSV will almost certainly have a seasonal spike. Hartshorn said that given the higher risk for these respiratory viruses, it’s best to take steps to protect yourself from each of them.
“Having multiple viruses at the same time would be more di cult for people,” she said. “We have vaccines for all three diseases now, so protecting yourself by getting vaccinated is a good idea moving into the respiratory season.”
Hartshorn added that all available vaccines are proven to be safe and e ective in preventing infection and reducing the odds of passing along an infection to others.
According to Hartshorn, the recently approved, updated vaccines are in the process of distribution, so it’s just a matter of time before doctor o ces, pharmacies and the Public Health Clinic will be able to o er all variants of the updated COVID vaccine, for adults and children.
“(Residents) can call us and ask if we’ve received (the COVID vaccine) they want. ey can get an appointment scheduled, or we’ll have them hang tight and schedule when they become available.”
COVID or a cold?
Because many approaching seasonal viruses cause symptoms similar to COVID-19, it can be di cult to know whether one should stay home or get tested.
According to Hartshorn, if you were exposed to someone with a COVID diagnosis and develop symptoms, the best idea is to get tested. If you are unaware of any COVID-19 exposures, it
doesn’t hurt to take an at-home test, but you should stay home regardless when sick.
Once symptoms have improved and no fever is detected for 24 hours, you can return to regular activities — but, she said, consider taking extra precautions in the following ve days. at includes keeping a social distance, maintaining clean, circulating air when indoors, washing hands and wearing a mask.
COVID-19 tests can be taken at select pharmacies and medical clinics, but Hartshorn said the at-home
tests are generally comparable in efcacy. She said people with COVID can get a false negative if the infection recently began, so anyone with symptoms should re-do the test 48 hours later to double-check.
Starting in the end of September, U.S. residents can sign up to receive four free, at-home COVID tests through the federal Health and Human Services Department. Once the program launches, tests can be ordered by visiting COVIDTests.gov. is article comes courtesy of AP StoryShare.

Jace, a four-year-old terrier mix, could barely contain his excitement inside the shop of the Dumb Friends League shelter as his new family stocked up on supplies for him.
Denver residents Eliorah Abramowitz and Azi Hanssen said they came to the shelter looking for an older, but still energetic dog that would be as happy chilling on the couch as playing fetch at the park.
After meeting with a few dogs, Abramowitz and Hanssen said they were drawn to Jace.
“It was just a perfect match,” Abramowitz said.
Similarly for Sandra Brande and her daughter Ashley, who live in Centennial, they quickly fell in love with the wiggly Husky puppy Laika. e Brande family knew they wanted to adopt because they found their Husky Daisy at the shelter two years ago and have loved her presence in the family ever since.
“ ere are so many animals who need loving homes,” Sandra said as Laike squirmed in Ashley’s arms. “It’s so nice to have the liveliness in the house that a pet brings.” at sentiment was echoed by many new pet parents and sta at the Dumb Friends League, an animal shelter with locations in Denver, Castle Rock and Alamosa.
“It’s always hard to say who rescued who,” said volunteer Michelle Schneider, of Highlands Ranch. Jace and Laika are some of the hundreds of lucky pets to nd families through the Dumb Friends League during its month-long Clear the Shelter
campaign, which wrapped up on Sept. 10.
Alyssa Putzer, communications manager for the Dumb Friends League, said 1,161 animals were adopted during the Clear the Shelter count, surpassing the shelter’s original goal of adopting out 1,000 pets across its three locations.
Mary Sarah Fairweather, vice president of operations at the Dumb Friends League, said participating in the Clear the Shelter campaign helps the shelter not only nd homes for pets but also care for more animals.
“Clear the Shelters is an amazing opportunity to showcase the wonderful pets in our care,” she said. “With ongoing challenges like overcrowding in shelters, this event is an essential opportunity for our community to connect with animals that are ready to bring joy and companionship into their lives.”
Even with all of the adoptions in the last month, the Clear the Shelters campaign only accounts for a fraction of the adoptions that Dumb Friends League facilitates year-round. Last year, the shelters brought in over 20,500 animals and are on pace to serve a similar amount this year, Fairweather said.
Dogs, cats and small animals, like guinea pigs and bunnies, come to the shelter as surrenders or strays and 86% are rehomed.
“ ey come to us from the community, owners who can’t keep their pets, and as strays,” Fairweather said.
Most animals stay at the shelter for an average of 10-15 days, heading to new homes as soon as sta can help pair them with the right family. Fairweather said another bene t of the Clear the Shelters campaign is that it helps animals who have been at the shelter longer or require special care get adopted.
Fairweather said the adoption process is like dating with the goal being to nd the “perfect match.”
“It’s really a conversation-based process, so we want to get to know what the families are looking for and we share what each individual animal needs,” she said.
Richard Myers, of Denver, said he volunteers at the shelter because it’s like working in a “bubble of love.”
“ ere’s so much care for the patrons and for the animals,” Myers said. “One of the greatest joys of working here is having someone come in who looks sad, maybe they lost a pet a few months ago, and 45 minutes later, they’re going out the door with a pep in their step and the dog is looking like a newly caught marlin, jumping around so much.”
In order to encourage as many adoptions as possible, Fairweather said the shelter looks to reduce barriers to pet ownership like cost or lack of resources.
All of the dogs and cats that are adopted out are vaccinated and spayed or neutered. e Dumb Friends League also partners with some local veterinarians to waive the cost for the rst visit, as well as Fetch Pet Insurance to provide health care support for furry friends.
Another resource the shelter o ers is a free behavioral helpline to support pet parents through training or care adjustments.
“Our goal is to help pet owners keep their pets at home and out of the shelter,” Fairweather said. “We’re lucky to have such beautiful facilities with a team of volunteers and sta who take incredible care of (the animals), but it’s not a home.”
With the current overcrowding in shelters, Fairweather said it’s more important than ever to adopt animals instead of turning to a breeder.
“It gives pets in the shelter system a second chance,” she said. “Whether you’re looking for a little guinea pig or a giant couch potato dog, there’s somebody for everybody.”
Sandra and Ashley Brande, of Centennial, cuddle their new puppy Laika, who they adopted at the Dumb Friends League shelter. This is the second dog the Brande family has adopted from the shelter.

Colorado workers have questions about paid family and medical leave.
Here’s what you need to know.
Colorado’s Family and Medical Leave Insurance (FAMLI) program allows eligible Colorado workers to get up to 12 weeks of paid time off each year.
By Tracy Marshall
(DENVER) – Coloradans no longer have to choose between caring for themselves and paying the bills.
The new Family and Medical Leave Insurance (FAMLI) program gives Colorado workers pay replacement when they need to step away from their jobs to care for themselves or a family member.
It’s a benefit available to almost everyone who earned at least $2,500 in Colorado in roughly the last year – including self-employed and gig workers. Workers in Colorado can now get up to 12 weeks of partial pay replacement per year after certain life events, such as the birth of a child or a serious medical condition.
But many Coloradans don’t know about this new benefit and how to get it. Here’s a quick overview, so you know that when life happens, FAMLI has you covered.
Where did FAMLI come from?
Colorado voters approved FAMLI in 2020. We’re actually the first state in the country to enact paid family and medical leave through a ballot initiative.
How does it work?
Employers and employees in Colorado
have been paying into the FAMLI program since January of 2023. Premiums are set to 0.9% of the employee’s wage, with 0.45% paid by the employer and 0.45% paid by the employee.
Nearly every Colorado employer is required to comply with the FAMLI Act’s requirements – by either participating in the state program or providing a private plan of equal or greater benefit.
Only local governments have the option to vote to opt out of participating in the program. (Employees of opted-out local governments can still participate if they wish; they simply agree to pay the employee portion of the premium for three years.) Federal employers and some railroad employers are fully exempt from the program.
Family and medical leave isn’t new – the national Family and Medical Leave Act, which took effect in 1993, grants 12 weeks of job-protected leave for many. But it’s unpaid leave and excludes many part-time workers, workers at small-sized businesses and those who have worked less than 12 months.
What life events make someone eligible for paid leave?
Colorado’s FAMLI program covers workers who need to temporarily step away from work for the following reasons:
• Bonding with a new child (including adoptions and foster care/kinship care placements)
•Managing a serious health condition
• Caring for a family member with a serious health condition
• Making arrangements because of a military deployment
• Dealing with the immediate needs and impacts from domestic partner violence, sexual assault or stalking.
How much does FAMLI pay?
Employees can receive up to 90% of their wages, based on a sliding scale. So if you make $500 a week, your FAMLI benefit would be $450 a week. Benefits are capped at $1,100 per week.
This cap is proportional to the average weekly wage for Colorado and may increase over time. We have a calculator on our website (famli.colorado.gov) to help families get a rough estimate of both their paycheck deductions and potential benefit payments.
What if my employer won’t
let me go?
Colorado voters made sure that employers can’t fire people just because they need to
take FAMLI leave. The law prohibits employers from interfering with your right to take paid medical leave, and it says they have to keep your information confidential.
Even better, the law includes important job protections that kick in after you’ve worked somewhere for 180 days, or roughly six months. After that, employers are required to reinstate workers on FAMLI leave to the jobs they had before (with some exceptions, such as seasonal work that was scheduled to wind down anyway.)
We’ve got lots of resources on our website to explain exactly how FAMLI job protection works.
What are my next steps?
Supporting Colorado workers who need FAMLI leave is our passion. You can file your claim online, with lots of how-to guides and videos to help you through the process.
For personalized assistance, you can call us any weekday between 7 a.m. and 6 p.m. at 1-866-CO-FAMLI (1-866-263-2654).

Wolves roll to strong 3-1 start
Westminster takes down Prairie View in 41-20 win
BY JOHN RENFROW JRENFROW@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Westminster football looked scary in a Week 4 matchup against the Prairie View underhawks.
It was the second week the Wolves dropped 41 points on an opponent, and if it weren’t for a Week 1 overtime loss to Denver South, Westminster would be undefeated.
“I thought we came out on re in the rst half,” Westminster Coach CJ Hanna said. “We just have to nish games. We’ve got to put four quarters together now.”
e Wolves scored early and often in the 41-20 win. e rst drive of the game was a rapid score with an overthe-middle touchdown pass to Adrian Moreno with 9:07 in the rst quarter. Prairie View’s o ensive struggles began with a quick three-and-out, and the Wolves took advantage.
Quarterback Mason Kiewiet threw a bomb to Jerriah Arellano for a big gain and instant-redzone opportunity. Dasius Nevares scored on the second half of the drive to extend the lead to 14-0 with 5:55 in the rst quarter.
Another quick punt from the underhawks gave the Wolves another chance to score in the rst. Kevan Bunton took o for a huge run on rst down to score another touchdown to go up 21-0.
Prairie View showed some life on the next possession, taking advantage of a face mask penalty with an eight-play, 80-yard drive near the Wolves’ goal line. But a turnover on a fourth-down try made a fruitful drive for the underhawks come up empty. Six plays into the second quarter, the Wolves scored again to go up 28-0.
After yet another stop forced by Westminster, Bunton came alive again for the Wolves and took a screen pass on second down to the house to score 35-0 to end the half.
A rst-half shutout looked daunting
but Prairie View answered in the third quarter. A gritty, 80-yard drive ended in a short touchdown run by the underhawks’ Bryce Pacheco. Kiewiet answered for Westminster with another 30-yard touchdown pass on the run, bringing the game to 41-7.
A bomb from Prairie View quarterback Ryker Searle for 60+ yards to Giovanni Tarin put the underhawks back on the board 41-13, but it was too little too late. Still, Hanna didn’t like giving Prairie View life in a game that should have been over.
“ ey were tough. ey had some answers for us,” Hanna said on Prairie View’s second-half surge. “ ey took advantage of some things they made adjustments for at halftime.”
Pacheco scored again for the underhawks to bring the game to 41-20. Westminster moved to 3-1 and Prairie

View dropped to 1-2. Kiewiet nished with 371 passing yards on 23 completions and four touchdowns. So far, he’s thrown for over 1,000 yards for 16 touchdowns and only three picks.
“I want to see us be more disciplined,” Hanna said on the season going forward. “With our penalties, we still have to eliminate those. I thought today was better, but there’s still things in crucial times. e biggest thing is we just have to sustain four quarters. I’ve said it before: we want to win our league and we want to make the playo s. at’s our ultimate goal. I’m going to put it out there and I’m going to keep saying it. at’s what these guys have been working all summer for.”
Up next for Westminster is a home game against Adams City on Sept. 27, while Prairie View hosts Mountain Range the same night.
Ralston Valley, Arvada West teams train together, compete separately
BY JOHN RENFROW JRENFROW@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
At the Bird’s Nest Disc Golf Course in Arvada, students largely from Ralston Valley and Arvada West high schools meet in a gravel parking lot before a 20ish-mile mountain biking practice run on a hotter day than they’d like in late September. e two teams have always trained together. In fact, Arvada West didn’t have its own team or uniforms until this season. Before then and even still, students from several Arvada high schools — including Pomona, Standley Lake, Arvada, etc. — held a spot on Ralston Valley’s mountain biking team.
Westminster’s Kevan Burton (2) is welcomed back to the sideline after a touchdown pass from Mason Kiewiet (1). Burton had both a receiving and a rushing touchdown in the 41-20 win over Prairie View.

BIKING
“I love biking and I love that we can come up here and just do 20 miles in the mountains. It’s so beautiful,” said Arvada West sophomore Bergen Sands, who is leading the sophomore girls category in the state.
Mountain biking is not a CHSAAsanctioned activity but is run by the Colorado High School Cycling League. Ralston Valley and Arvada West are just two of over 90 teams in the league.
More than 2,000 riders across Colorado, along with bikers from Wyoming, New Mexico, and South Dakota, participate in the league each year. Ralston Valley joined the league in 2010 with just two coaches and six male riders. Now, there are close to 80 riders between the two teams and around 30 coaches.
“It’s the fastest-growing high school sport,” said Coach Troy P tzer, who has been with the program for 11 years. “It does reach that kid that doesn’t t the mold of team sports, necessarily. ey can nd their place here.”
When the teams practice together, they consider themselves one group. But on race day, the Arvada West team competes in a lower division. Still, everyone is welcome, no mat-
ter their skill or experience level.
“ e Colorado High School Cycling League is the largest no-cut sport in the state,” said Jake Davidson, head coach of both Ralston Valley and Arvada West teams. “We had a race in Eagle last weekend and there were probably 450 kids. at’s about a quarter of the (entire) league.”
e typical mountain bike race season is from late summer into fall with a four-race series (every other weekend in Colorado mountain town venues) culminating in the Colorado State Championship Race that riders must qualify to participate in. A small number of o -season training rides and camps are allowed over the spring and summer, with the o cial race season beginning July 15.
To qualify for the state championship, riders must compete in at least three races during the season and then meet minimum ranks within their level (varsity, JV, sophomore, freshman).
But riders don’t have to compete; it can all just be for fun. It’s all about enjoying the sport and providing an extracurricular activity and a vehicle for students to ride.
According to the league website, the purpose of the Colorado High School Cycling League is “to build strong minds, bodies and character, guided by the principles of inclusivity and equality. Together we foster
healthy habits in youth, develop selfcon dence, cultivate leadership and strengthen family bonds one pedal stroke at a time.”
Leading up to the state championship on Oct. 19 and 20 in Glenwood Springs, there are two more races on the calendar for the 2024 season. e North Fruita Desert Classic in Fruita and the Chalk Creek Stampede in Buena Vista kick o the weekend of Oct. 5.
“I think we’re going to be really good (going into the state championships),” Davidson said. “I think
Bergen is going to carry that leader’s jersey into the state championships, meaning she’ll start in the front row with all the other three leaders from the three other regions, and she’ll have a good chance to win the race there for sure.”
More information on the Colorado High School Cycling League, including past race results, upcoming races and more can be found at www.coloradomtb.org. To read more about Ralston Valley and Arvada West’s mountain biking teams, visit www. rvmtb.com.

Thornton’s Solid Power gets chance to shine
ornton-based Solid Power has a $50 million federal grant to ramp up development of the solid-state EV batteries it considers the technology of the near-future in automobiles, putting the company closer to its goal of developing a mass production facility in the eastern U.S. or Korea.
e current EV battery market is dominated by liquid-based lithium-ion versions, and solid-state researchers believe their models are safer and o er more driving range to settle “range anxiety” fears among potential buyers. e federal grant for Solid Power, announced Sept. 20,
will allow the company to expand to a continuous manufacturing line in Colorado of the sul de-based solid electrolytes to replace the smaller batch system currently in place.
e grant should allow Solid Power, which manufactures battery parts in Louisville and ornton, to go from the current 30 metric tons a year of solid electrolytes to 140 tons by 2028, company CEO John Van Scoter said in an interview.
If the expansion proves that Solid Power’s product is technically and nancially competitive in the growing EV battery market, Van Scoter said, the company would keep its headquarters in Colorado but look to build a mass production factory closer to major vehicle assembly

plants in the eastern U.S. or in Korea. Right now there has been more interest in Solid Power from Korean manufacturers, he said.
Other battery-makers in the U.S. are announcing multi-billion dollar factories to produce full, EV-ready products, Van Scoter said. Solid Power’s approach takes about onetenth the capital, he said — building smaller factories to focus on producing the electrolyte portion.
“Our approach is di erent. Yes, we develop all-solid-state battery cells, and that’s what we license to the likes of BMW and others. But we don’t ever intend to actually build the volume of those cells. We license it to those companies, then they go ahead and ramp it into very high
volume, and then we ship to them the electrolyte,” Van Scoter said. e expansion adds to EV technology momentum in Adams County. e Greeley Tribune reported that “Amprius Technologies, based in Fremont, California, is converting an abandoned Kmart distribution hub on East Bromley Lane in Brighton into a 775,000-square-foot facility employing 330 workers making lithium-ion batteries.”
Solid Power said the expansion would create 40 Colorado jobs over time, and employ union construction workers in the building phase. is story was printed through a news sharing agreement with e Colorado Sun, a journalist-owned nonpro t based in Denver.

A BILL
FOR AN ORDINANCE FOR THE REGULATION OF GROUND WATER USE UPON CERTAIN PROPERTY WITHIN THE CITY OF WESTMINSTER
WHEREAS, the City of Westminster (the “City”) has jurisdiction over an area where residual ground water contamination exists (“Ground Water Contamination Area”) from the former Shaw Heights Dry Cleaners Site located at 3681 W 88th Avenue, Westminster, Colorado, EPA ID No. COD983793431 (the “Site”), and the City Council adopts this Ordinance to control and regulate ground water use in the area, pursuant to authority granted in Section 29-20-104, C.R.S. and Section 30-11-101, C.R.S., et seq.; and
WHEREAS, the current property owner of the Site has conducted corrective action to address contamination pursuant to the Colorado Hazardous Waste Act, Section 25-15-101, C.R.S., et seq. (“CHWA”), and the Colorado Hazardous Waste Regulations, 6 C.C.R. 1007-3, with oversight by the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (“CDPHE”); and
WHEREAS, the Ground Water Contamination Area within and outside of the Site is depicted in Attachment A and described in Attachment B, both of which Attachments are attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference; and
WHEREAS, although the CHWA corrective action was conducted to protect human health and the environment, residual ground water contamination will remain in the Ground Water Contamination Area within and outside of the Site; and
WHEREAS, contact with residual ground water contamination could result in unacceptable human exposure to contaminants; and
WHEREAS, the Colorado Environmental Covenants Law, Section 25-15-320(2), C.R.S. requires environmental covenants or notice of environmental use restrictions for environmental remediation projects related to remedial decisions made after July 1, 2001, that result in residual contamination levels determined safe for one or more specific uses, but not all uses, or where engineered features or structures are incorporated requiring monitoring, maintenance or operation or that will not function as intended if disturbed; and
WHEREAS, environmental covenants or notices of environmental use restrictions are required for remedial decisions made pursuant to CHWA; and
WHEREAS, Site corrective action was selected pursuant to CHWA and after July 1, 2001, thus triggering the requirement for an environmental covenant or notice of environmental use restrictions at the Site and the Ground Water Contamination Area; and
WHEREAS, CDPHE imposed a notice of environmental use restrictions at the Site, recorded in the records of the Clerk and Recorder of Adams County on January 31, 2023, at reception number 2023000005613; and
WHEREAS, Section 25-15-320(3)(b), C.R.S. authorizes CDPHE to waive the requirement for an environmental covenant or notice of environmental use restriction for parcels of land where the owner does not grant an environmental covenant or notice of environmental use restriction under Section 25-15-320, C.R.S. and where the County, City, or municipality having jurisdiction over the affected land has enacted an ordinance or resolution imposing the relevant environmental use restrictions and has entered into an intergovernmental agreement with CDPHE; and
WHEREAS, the City Council has authority to regulate land use, development and activities in hazardous areas pursuant to Section 2920-104, C.R.S. and to adopt and enforce ordinances and resolutions regarding health, safety and welfare pursuant to Section 30-11-101, C.R.S., et seq.; and
WHEREAS, the City and CDPHE have agreed to enter into an intergovernmental agreement pursuant to Section 29-1-203, C.R.S. and Section 25-15-320, C.R.S. for the purpose of protecting human health and the environment within the Ground Water Contamination Area; and
WHEREAS, the City hereby finds and determines that this Ordinance is necessary to protect human health and the environment within the Ground Water Contamination Area.
THE CITY OF WESTMINSTER ORDAINS:
Section 1. Purpose: The City Council finds and declares that residual contamination within the Ground Water Contamination Area may pose a threat to the health, safety, and welfare, of the residents of Westminster, Colorado.
Section 2. Scope:
(A)This Ordinance shall apply to the Ground Water Contamination Area depicted in Attachment A and described in Attachment B. The Ground Water Contamination Area is hereby defined as portions of real property beneath which ground water contamination from the former Shaw Heights Dry Cleaners is located, either partially or wholly.
(B)This Ordinance is intended to prohibit ground water use in the Ground Water Contamination Area, in addition to any ground water use restrictions in the Westminster Municipal Code. Nothing herein shall be construed as limiting the scope or the authority of the Westminster Municipal Code.
(C)The determination as to whether a specific property is subject to this Ordinance shall be made by CDPHE and the City. Any property owner or prospective purchaser may at any time request CDPHE and the City make a formal determination whether a property is in whole or in part within the Ground Water Contamination Area and thus subject to this Ordinance.

Resolution 2024 - 447

“Other people have said it’s like putting yourself in the case, being aware of your surroundings, and imagining yourself safe. It’s a very popular genre.”
McIntosh said her husband has been in law enforcement for 37 years, so she has heard interesting stories about crime for almost four decades.
“It was nally time. I had this idea, and honestly, it took about ve years to get a reasonable and realistic outline. It had to serve the law enforcement community well because that’s our family, so I had to represent it,” McIntosh said.
“I toss a lot of stories around with my husband. One day, while in the shower, I ran out and tried writing it down as quickly as possible. When he got home from work, I asked my husband what he thought. He said, ‘ at’s the good one, and this will work.’ “
To research for her book, McIntosh said her husband and many of his friends helped her with information about investigating and solving crimes. She also made a lot of phone calls and talked to detectives.
“ ere’s a substance abuse element of the book, so I wanted to talk to some people who had some involvement in substance abuse. ere are also a couple of di erent time frames in my book, such as the 2005 era and 2023. So, those two time frames merged,” McIntosh said.
McIntosh asked the law enforcement people what were common drugs in 2005 and less-common drugs today. In her book, she’s writing about fentanyl — it did exist in 2005, but they weren’t calling it fentanyl.
“It wasn’t the hot button that it is now, so I had to go back in time and gure out what was going on then,” she said.
When writing her novel, McIntosh said she put herself in her victims’ shoes and lived her life according to
