GREENWAY TRAIL WARNING

Flats

BY MELANIE ASMAR CHALKBEAT COLORADO

Twenty-one Colorado school districts, seven charter schools, one cooperative education services board, and one youth residential treatment center have been awarded $11.4 million in funding over the next three years for vaping education and prevention programs.

e money comes from a $31.7 million settlement between the state of Colorado and e-cigarette manufacturer Juul Labs Inc. Colorado sued Juul in 2020, alleging that it targeted youth with deceptive marketing and played down the health risks of vaping. In settling the lawsuit, Juul did not admit any wrongdoing.

Colorado is poised to spend the bulk of the settlement money on a $20 million grant program aimed at improving children’s mental health. But the state is also giving smaller grants directly to school districts, nonpro t organizations, and government entities.

City cites mobile home park for sewer spill

City tests for e. Coli, flushes Niver Creek

BY MONTE WHALEY MWHALEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

e City of ornton has cited the Woodland Hills Mobile Home Park for illegally sending its sewer water into nearby Niver Creek, raising E. Coli levels in the waterway and creating a risk of severe illness downstream.

O cials told the City Council Tuesday night that a June 6 spill at Woodland Hills led them to issue a

citation to its owners for unauthorized use of the stormwater system, unlawful discharge and “nuisances enumerated, streets, streams, water supply.”

Woodland Hills is owned by Equity Lifestyle Properties in Chicago, Ill. e company said in a July 17 statement that a maintenance worker found a small amount of sanitary sewer over ow leaking from a capped cleanout valve on June 6. e company contacted a plumber to clear out the line, which was clogged with resident household debris, causing the over ow, the statement said. e company contacted the City

of ornton and Adams County Health Department, according to the statement.

e park is located on ornton Parkway/92nd Avenue just east of Pecos Street.

Representatives of the city inspected the site and guided cleanup with products recommended by the Adams County Health Department.

City o cials came back and tested the water a few days later and reviewed the cleanup. No further remedial action was required or recommended, councilors were told.

“ e health of our community is very important to us. When the issue was discovered, we responded immediately to resolve the matter, reported it to the appropriate authorities, and provided timely and proper cleanup as advised by and in cooperation with the city and the County Health Department, “ Woodland Hills said in their written statement.

Complaints

made of stench e action against Woodland Hills comes after several residents had complained about the stench from Niver Creek and the quality of drinking water in the city’s mobile home parks.

Todd Rullo, interim executive director of infrastructure for ornton, said the city is limited in what it can do to prevent mobile home parks from sending their sewer over ows into a city waterway. Mobile home parks are privately owned, he said.

“We don’t have any authority to work a private system,” Rullo said. ornton is asking the Adams County Health Department about expanding its jurisdiction and coordinating with the city to help deal with future sewer spills, Rullo said.

e city is also reaching out to the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment for potential help.

Meanwhile, the city is eyeing a new ordinance that would require mobile home parks to annually ush and jet clean their private systems to prevent future over ows, city o cials said.

Local mobile home managers are also being tapped to come up with prevention strategies, Rullo said. “… We can discuss what we can do to prevent this from happening again and make it better,” he said.

Flushing and testing

If a spill ows into the stormwater system, Rulo said, signs are posted at the outlet location to the creek, upstream and downstream and water quality levels are taken both upstream and downstream of the inlet to determine baseline E. coli levels. Crews and apply a neutralizing and disinfecting agent to the spill area and re hydrants are opened to ush the area, he said.

Councilmember Justin Martinez said Tuesday the city could go after mobile homeowners to pay for the cost of cleaning up a spill.

“ ey should pay for their mistakes,” Martinez said.

Councilmember Kathy Henson added mobile home residents need to feel they are being listened to when they complain about bad water or odor from the creek.

“We need to do what we can do so everyone in the city can have a decent quality of living,” Henson said.

E. coli testing results

For the Niver Creek spill, city sta collected samples and tested for E. coli. ey found 2,420 counts per 100 milliliters in an upstream sample and 866 /100 mililiters for a downstream sample, according to the city report to the city council, Rullo said.

City of Thornton pumps water into Niver Creek to help alleviate a sewage spill there last month. COURTESY

Many Homeowners Don’t Understand Title Issues, Which Can Lead to Big Problems Later on

Our office hosted estate lawyer Dan McKenzie at last week’s office meeting, where he shared some horror stories about homeowners who made mistakes in the execution of deeds on their property.

It’s important to understand the difference between “joint tenants” and “tenants in common.” Most married couples hold title to their home as joint tenants, meaning that both of them own the whole house, and if one dies, the surviving spouse still owns the whole house by himself or herself. Tenants in common own part of the house, typically but not necessarily equal parts. When one of them dies, the heirs on the deceased party inherit that part of the house. The problem arises when that new relationship may not be a friendly one.

When a single person owns their home by him/herself (“in severalty”) and wants to add a lover or spouse to the title, a “quitclaim” deed is used to accomplish that, usually with zero dollars exchanged. For example: John Doe quitclaims his home to John Doe and Jane Roe. Dan told us of a case where John Doe mistakenly quitclaimed his home to Jane instead of to both of them, leaving him off title. When she died, her heirs inherited the house, not him. Because they weren’t married and he wasn’t in her will or on good terms with her heirs, it created a real problem reclaiming his former home.

A common mistake is for a homeowner, whether single or a couple, to put their heir(s) on title as joint tenants so they would instantly own the home when they die. The problem with that

approach is that the value of the home is not “stepped up” at death. You want to will the home to your heirs or create a “beneficiary deed” so that the value of the home is stepped up to the value at the time of death. Otherwise, the heir could owe a significant amount of capital gains tax. If that heir sells the house soon after inheriting it, the capital gains tax would be close to zero.

In a beneficiary deed, you name the person who is to inherit the home, independent or outside of your will. Thus, the transfer of ownership is automatic at your death without that tax liability.

A “life estate” is a special kind of deed that allows you to sell your home while you’re alive, but not have to vacate it until you die. When my brother died ten years ago, my sister-in-law (his

widow) was able to sell their farm to a buyer who gave her a life estate, allowing her to live free (except for utilities) in the farmhouse until her death many years later. The buyer got full use of the rest of the farm during those years, so it was a win/win.

Westminster warned o of Greenway Trail

Rocky Flats plutonium traces a worry, councilors told

BY MONTE WHALEY MWHALEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Activists Monday night urged the City of Westminster to stop helping build a trail system that would link the city with the abandoned Rocky Flats Plant, saying local recreation will disturb soil still contaminated with deadly plutonium.

“I and the PSR (Physicians for Social Responsibility) Colorado urge you to withdraw from the Rocky Mountain Greenway project,” Dr. Deborah Segalo , told city councilors. “What side of history do you want to be on in the future?”

Segalo was among several members of the Rocky Mountain Peace and Justice Center who spoke out against the Rocky Mountain Greenway Trail during a study session that lasted past midnight.

Councilors made no decision about whether Westminster will remain a partner in the Greenway Trail system but may ask for another study session to digest what they were told at Monday’s session, said Councilor David DeMott.

“We have an awful lot of information to talk about,” DeMott said. “We all have concerns about the Rocky Flats site…and it deserves plenty of attention.”

Rocky Flats made plutonium pits –hollow spheres of plutonium – which were used in nuclear weapons. Plutonium alpha particles can kill lung

cells which causes scarring of the lungs, leading to further lung disease and cancer, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. e work session comes on the heels of the Boulder County Commissioners reconsidering involvement in the Greenway Trails Project, after plutonium was discovered in air lters on Indiana Street near Rocky Flats, according to a May Colorado Community Media story.

Greenway Trail

In 2016, Westminster joined Jefferson and Boulder counties, the City and County of Broom eld, and the cities of Boulder and Arvada for a Federal Lands Access Program –FLAP – Grant that would fund more than 83% of the Greenway Trail connections to the Rocky Flats Wildlife Refuge.

Federal and state o cials hoped that the Greenway Trail would link three Front Range National Wildlife Refuges – Rocky Mountain Arsenal, Two Ponds and Rocky Flats – with Rocky Mountain National Park. Westminster is projected to put $254,500 into the Greenway Trail, which will include a pedestrian underpass under 86th Parkway and move along the east side of Standley Lake and eventually hook up with Westminster Hills Open Space, according to a 2016 City of Westminster sta report.

However, councilors were told Monday to halt any more progress on the trail because it will disturb plutonium still in the ground near the Rocky Flats plant.

chemist and professor emeritus at Northern Arizona University Micheal Ketterer told councilors that dangerous levels of plutonium were detected by their air lters that were set up in three locations near the former nuclear weapons plant on April 6.

Lipsky led the 1989 raid of Rocky Flats that eventually led to the plant being shuttered and designated as an EPA Superfund site.

Ketterer said he took air lter samples near Rocky Flats a few times but was drawn to take samples on April 6 because dirt was visibly moving in the air.

“We both observed large, rapidly moving suspended dust clouds extending from ground level up to heights of hundreds of feet, originating from areas on the (Central Operating Unit of Rocky Flats) and/or contaminated bu er zone,” Ketterer

blowing from the west. Ketterer sent the samples to the radiochemistry lab at Northern Arizona University, where scientists used mass spectronomy to study the lters.

“Plutonium was unequivocally detected in the two Indiana Street air lters,” according to a statement from Ketterer. “With less than 30 minutes sample collection time, quantities ranging from 47 to 128 milligrams of lter ash were recovered from air lters; plutonium was detected in all six of the individual preparations of ash from the two Indiana Street samples.”

Ketterer told the Westminster councilors Monday that Rocky Flats was responsible for the plutonium found in the air lters because heavy winds kicked up contaminated soil in the area.

rough an ambitious reorganization, Freitag also streamlined city operations and consolidated city facilities to improve service to residents and lower operational cost, according to the news release.

“Mark is an honorable man. I thank him for his service to our nation and our city, and I wish him the best of luck in his future endeavors,” said Mayor Nancy McNally in the news release.

“I am con dent the strong executive team led by Acting Manager Andrews will ensure residents continue to receive high-quality city services while we begin our recruitment process for a permanent city manager,” McNally said.

Service as a Colonel

Freitag has been the city manager of Janesville (WI) for the past nine years. Prior to his civil service, Freitag served our nation in the U.S. Army, including three combat deployments, and retired with distinction as colonel.

Freitag directed operations and logistics as Garrison Commander for Fort Hood in Texas. Leading a sta of 5,500 personnel, Freitag was tasked with managing a $400 million annual budget, and the daily life, training, and operations on the base for 90,000 residents including soldiers and their families.

Freitag graduated from West Point and earned a Master’s Degree in National Security Strategy from the National War College in Washington, D.C., and a Master’s Degree in Management from St. Mary College (KS).

After city crews nished ushing the storm sewer, both upstream and downstream samples showed 100ct/100millileters on June 10, he said.

“All were down to safe levels,” Rullo said.

City crews also responded to a report of odor at Niver Creek west of I-25 and collected two samples from two separate locations June 14. e sample at ornton Parkway and Gale Boulevard showed 100ct/100ml, Rullo said.

e sample collected at W. 91st Avenue and W. 91st Circle showed 4000 ct/100 milliliters, he said.

Senior Assistant City Attorney Eri-

ka Delaney Lew told the council that reports of a sewer spill from orton mobile home parks are rare. She added that the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment has a list of more than 100 waterways in the state that are known to carry more E. coli amounts than are desired.

“Niver Creek is not on that list,” Lew said.

Colorado River o cials explore water conservation credit

BY SHANNON MULLANE THE COLORADO SUN

Four states in the drought-stricken Colorado River Basin, including Colorado, want credit for conserving water, but water users and o cials have big questions about how to make it happen.

Last year, taxpayers paid farmers and ranchers $16 million to cut their water use in the Colorado River Basin, but the water saved on one farm simply reentered streams, where it could be used by anyone downstream. For years, o cials in Colorado, New Mexico, Utah and Wyoming have been considering ways to get credit for that conserved water — to track it, store it in a reservoir, and save it to help the states in the future.

Representatives from the four states voted in June to develop a proposal exploring the idea by mid-August.

But building a long-term program to track and store conserved water raises questions about equity, funding, economic impacts and whether the idea is feasible at all.

People are concerned about the bigger picture, said Andy Mueller, general manager of the Colorado River District in Colorado.

“If we’re going to conserve water up here, and if the federal government is going to pay for that conservation with taxpayer dollars, it seems to us that storing it and using it for important public purposes makes sense, rather than sending it downstream to just encourage continued consumption of water (by downstream states),” Mueller said.

Cutting back on water use is a big topic of conversation in the Colorado River Basin, which supplies water to 40 million people and is enduring warmer temperatures and a two-decade megadrought.

O cials from each of the seven states in the basin are weighing who might have to cut their use and how to manage the basin’s reservoirs in high-stakes negotiations over the river’s future after the current rules expire in 2026.

e Upper Basin released a proposal in March that outlined its plan to manage the river after 2026 as part of these negotiations. at proposal includes a commitment to pursue voluntary, temporary and compensated conservation programs.

e June vote of the Upper Colora-

do River Commission aimed to take that commitment one step forward.

e state and federal representatives on the commission want to design a conservation-for-credit program in advance so it’s set up and ready to go if needed.

e commission’s plan could help inform the states’ negotiations, said Amy Ostdiek, who is part of Colorado’s negotiating team and works on interstate water issues for the state’s top water policy agency, the Colorado Water Conservation Board.

“We’ve heard this from water users a lot. … If we’re going to continue doing conservation-type activities, can we explore ways to quote-unquote get credit for it?” Ostdiek said.

“It’s worth exploring. … ere’s a lot we’d need to work out before we get there.”

Big questions from water users

O cials and water users have been kicking around the idea of tracking and storing conserved water for credit for years, and the commission’s August proposal will be the latest iteration of those discussions.

One heavily debated program, called demand management, offered a path toward storing conserved water in a reservoir to help

Upper Basin states. But Colorado hit pause on analyzing the idea in 2022 as other Upper Basin states slogged through intense feasibility studies.

Taxpayers paid $16 million in 2023 to conserve water through another program, the system conservation pilot program. Because the program does not track conserved water, there is no certainty where it ends up.

“It inherently just ows downstream and continues to be used by the Lower Basin,” Mueller said. “It really doesn’t do anything other than feed the continued use of the water, rather than encourage conservation of the water.”

e commission’s proposal will try to answer key questions for a program that tracks and stores conserved water, said Chuck Cullom, executive director of the Upper Colorado River Commission. But how will water managers track the actual water down streams, through reservoirs and across state lines? What is a “conservation credit” and how can it be earned? What role would location play?

Mueller of the Colorado River District said the location of the projects ties into big potential equity issues.  Most of Colorado’s participants in

the system conservation pilot program so far have been farmers and ranchers on the Western Slope, he said. ey helped conserve water by fallowing elds and switching to crops that used less water. But if a farmer stops production, or fallows, acres of land to conserve water, it can cut jobs on the farm and spending in the community.

A paid conservation program has to be designed to incentivize participation from all regions of Colorado where Colorado River is used, which includes Front Range cities from Fort Collins down to Colorado Springs and beyond, Mueller said.

Joe Bernal, a rancher in Loma who is participating in the system conservation pilot program, said his concern was how a conservationfor-credit program would be administered.

“Would they work with ditch companies, or would they go with individuals? How much would they offer?” he said. “Would they … help ditch companies and communities protect the viability of agriculture?”

Other water users want to know which reservoirs would store conserved water for credit.

CONSERVATION

Storing conserved water closer to a river’s source — in high-elevation Upper Basin reservoirs rather than farther downstream — would give the four states more say in when, how much and from where water is released.

Plus, local water users want to conserve water in good years and save it in a nearby reservoir to provide a cushion during the next dry year, said Ken Curtis, general manager of the Dolores Water Conservancy District.

Farmers and ranchers in his district are already doing just that: is year, they volunteered to be paid to save water through the system conservation program, and they’re storing it in the nearby McPhee Reservoir to boost carryover water supplies for next year, Curtis said. e commission’s proposal also aims to de ne the requirements conservation projects would have

to meet to qualify and how years of past water use would come into play.

How to factor in past water use is important to two tribes in Colorado, the Ute Mountain Ute and Southern Ute Indian tribes, said Peter Ortego, general counsel for the Ute Mountain Ute Indian Tribe.

Both tribes have water in a southwestern reservoir that they plan to put to use in the future, but haven’t used yet. eir water does not qualify for use in current paid conservation programs, which raises the question of whether it could qualify for a newer, reimagined conservation-for-credit program, Ortego said.

A program to help the Upper Basin

As o cials try to tackle big questions, one thing is clear: Upper Basin water watchers do not want to conserve water if it will just ow downstream to support current use in the Lower Basin.

Congress is currently considering a bill to extend the system conservation pilot program, which does not

e demand management program created an “account” for up to 500,000 acre-feet of conserved water in Lake Powell. One acre-feet roughly equals the annual use of two to three households.

It’s been frustrating to know the demand management account exists in Lake Powell and to see water being conserved through the system conservation pilot program, or SCPP, that just ows through the reservoir, said James Eklund, a former Colorado water o cial who helped forge the program and owns a ranch in the pilot program.

“All it needed was to be tagged as DM (demand management) water instead of SCPP water — and it would be water we’d have in our account as Upper Basin states. And we’d be able to point to that water in negotiations,” Eklund said.

But that program is very prescriptive, Ostdiek said.

Colorado math scores drop amid shift to digital SAT

BY YESENIA ROBLES CHALKBEAT COLORADO

Most Colorado students continue to make progress on state tests, with scores nearly recovering from dropping after the pandemic. at’s according to preliminary data previewed for the State Board of Education in June.

But one area of concern is that high school math scores were signi cantly lower than in previous years as the state transitioned to a new digital PSAT and SAT.

Ninth grade scores seem particularly concerning. In 2019, 49.6% of ninth graders met or exceeded math standards on the PSAT. In 2024, just 39.5% did — a di erence of more than 10 percentage points. e 2024 rate also represents a signi cant decrease from 2023, when 46.5% of students were meeting expectations.

Ninth graders were in fth grade when the pandemic began and would have been in sixth grade, possibly starting middle school, in the fall of 2020 when school was largely held online.

State o cials said they are spending the summer analyzing the data to see if they will still be able to use it for annual school ratings. e board voted to allow accountability o cials to possibly set new cuto targets for each performance level, based on this year’s distribution of scores, instead of using the same points as in previous years.

“What we’ve discovered is this is really a new assessment,” said Lisa Medler, executive director of accountability and continuous improvement for the state.

e PSAT/SAT Colorado uses to test all ninth, 10th, and 11th graders, and also is used as one way of demonstrating English and math pro ciency for graduation requirements, was changed for the spring of 2024. It was the rst time the test was fully online. e test was also reformatted.

Initially, state o cials believed the changes wouldn’t a ect the meaning of scores compared to previous years, but now, after see-

ing such a large drop in the number of students who met standards on the test in math, o cials suspect it might have to do with the tests. But they’re not sure how much was difculty with the tests or how much students may be struggling with math.

“I cannot disentangle those changes in terms of what caused those changes,” said Joyce Zurkowski, the Colorado Department of Education’s chief assessment ocer. “Some of that is indeed due to changes in student performance, but some of that is due to a change in test.”

In the lower grades, which take the state’s CMAS test, the results don’t show students struggling as much. Among third through sixth grade students, the percent meeting or exceeding math standards is now at or above the 2019 pre-pandemic rates.

But eighth grade CMAS math scores are still behind. In 2019, 36.9% of eighth graders met or exceeded math standards. In 2024, preliminary data shows just 32.9% did, a slight increase compared to 32.7% in 2023.

Apart from the changes to the PSAT/SAT, o cials are also looking at how an increase in the number of students new to the country this year could also have a ected the average scores.

is spring, the state exempted more students than usual from taking the tests, but new immigrant students who did not have interrupted schooling were still expected to take math and science tests, with accommodations. eir scores will not count for school ratings but could be a ecting the state’s overall test averages.

State o cials are auditing the data to nalize it and are studying if it can be used in growth calculations and for other purposes in annual school ratings. An update about the ndings might come later this month. is story was printed through a news sharing agreement with Chalkbeat Colorado, a nonpro t news site covering educational change in public schools.

Tiny Home event returns to Brighton

Event features small dwellings from trailers to playhouses

BY BELEN WARD BWARD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

e Brighton community came out in droves July 13 and 14 for the sixth annual Colorado Tiny Home event, which featured many unique tiny homes at Riverdale Regional Park.

e Colorado Tiny House Festival is a must for people curious about tiny living and those seeking new ideas for living and traveling in unique small structures, according to festival organizer Art Laubach.

Speakers at the festival provided information on tiny homes and showcased an array of professional builders and do-it-yourselfers who build tiny homes on wheels, accessory dwelling units — or ADUs — container homes, schoolies or converted school buses, converted vans, unique recreational vehicles, mobile bars, yurts, and unique children’s playhouses.

“Growing online communities and anecdotal evidence suggest a signi cant increase in people opting for schoolies, converted vans, and RV conversions for travel and alternative

living,” Laubach said. “Our attendees can learn more about the freedom and a ordability that schoolies, van conversions and unique recreational vehicles can provide.”

e tiny homes on display were built with a one-of-a-kind oor plans décor, and some were constructed with washers and dryers and a full kitchen, refrigerators, and storage space.

Playing home

Not every home shown at the festival was meant to be taken seriously. Rudy Monteroso showcased his

unique children’s playhouses.

Monteroso has been a professional artist for 20 years and has had his work shown at the Denver Art Museum. He has recently turned his passion into building playhouses for children to cherish memories with their parents. He began building the playhouses two years before the pandemic.

“ e playhouse is an idea to create this unique magical space for kids to create these memories with their parents, they’re big enough for parents to go into the house. So creating these unique memories they can pass on to

their own kids and to future generations,” said Monteroso.

Veteran tiny homes

Melora Domocmat, a case manager for the Veterans’ Community Project of Longmont, said her group is currently building 26 houses in Longmont for homeless veterans. ey brought an example of their work.

“We have a tiny home village in Longmont where we are completing our fundraising to nish the village. We have an outreach center where all the veterans start, and we help them get housed. If we can get them housed independently rst, that’s what we do, if not, we try to get him in the village,” Domocmat said.

Domocmat said the tiny homes are designed for people with PTSD. e beds are low to the ground with one entrance, and everything is brand new. ey also have people who make quilts for them when they move in.

“ ey stay with us for up to two years while they work with our case managers. We help them with counseling and mental health access, get debts paid o , go to school, get jobs to get back upon their feet, then we try to get them transitioned to a home of their own so they’re housed independently.”

The spectators lined up to check out the tiny homes July 13 at the Brighton Tiny Home Festival at Riverdale Regional Park. BELEN WARD

It’s part of a $40,000 e ort from the company, a premiere sponsor of the 96th Scripps National Spelling Bee. In celebration of the eight nalists in this year’s Bee, which was held May 28-30 in National Harbor, Maryland, the brand donated $5,000 to support literacy and spelling-focused education needs in each nalist’s local community.

In Westminster, the money will go to Cotton Creek, Ryan and Adams elementary schools, Silver Hills Middle School, Westminster High School and Doral Academy of Colorado.

“We changed the Foundation’s name to the Westminster Community Foundation to underscore our role as a catalyst for community giving that contributes to a thriving, dynamic, and prosperous city,” said Foundation Board President Mike Lazar.

Executive Director Natalie Martinez said the foundation will call for grant applications on July 15 to augment the objectives of the non-pro t and community organizations that serve the Westminster community. e awardees will be announced in October.

TINY HOMES

Domocmat said when they leave, the veterans can take everything out of the home with them if they want, to help maintain their dignity.

“We also help veterans with emergency assistance, such as rent, automobile repair, or if the weather’s bad, or they’re waiting for a housing voucher, we put them in a hotel for a few night to make sure they stay housed and get housed,” she said.

Smaller option

Laubach said a 2020 survey by the National Association of Home Builders shows that more than 50% of Americans would consider living

in a home that is smaller than 600 square feet, highlighting the growing interest in tiny home living.

“People are increasingly considering tiny living options for several reasons: they o er a more a ordable housing alternative, reduce environmental impact through lower resource consumption, simplify life by encouraging minimalism, and provide greater exibility and mobility,” said Laubach.  “Additionally, tiny homes can help reduce maintenance and utility costs, promote sustainable living practices, and often allow for a more intentional and ful lling lifestyle.”

Colorado passed House Bill 241152, legislation to make it easier for people to build ADUs and foundations for tiny homes. e House Bill, which came into e ect on Janu-

ary 1, 2025, requires all cities in Colorado to allow at least one ADU on properties zoned for single-family homes.

According to o cials, there is an administrative approval process, but local governments can not ban them. e law de nes converting existing structures into ADUs and states that homeowner’s associations cannot enforce overly restrictive design standards or completely prohibit ADUs.

“ e new ADU laws are a step forward in providing new tiny home living options in Colorado while empowering homeowners with rental income and renters with more housing choices,” Laubach said. “ ere will still be location variations to take into consideration with the new laws and we still have

a way to get more zoning passed to allow tiny homes as a permanent residence throughout the state, but it’s a positive step forward.”

Laudbach said that while some may face hurdles in making tiny homes permanent residences in Colorado, tiny home living is already legal in several places, including El Paso County, Park County, Durango, Leadville, Lyons, and Woodland Park.

e professional builders who participated and showcased their work include Einstyne Tiny Homes, Frontier Tiny Homes, Geotrek, Gravity Vans, TOURIG, Venturhaus, Vertex Vans, and Veterans Community Project. Builders and DIYers.

Freitag resigns Westminster City Manager post

Last week, city sta distributed news that Westminster City Manager Mark Freitag had resigned, e ective July 22. To a lot of people, this came as a surprise and questioned what was going on.

All I can o er is that the relationship between a city manager and the mayor/city council is a living, breathing relationship with many facets to it. It can change from time to time from the perspective of either the person in o ce as well as the elected o cials who are the city manager’s bosses.

It’s like a marriage with its ups and downs. A hard to describe cohesiveness, trust and being in synch with each other are essential in such a working relationship. Freitag brought a fresh look to a city administration which had gone through the wringer when Don Tripp was City Manager.

A part of Freitag’s fresh approach in part resulted in a revised organizational chart. He moved Engineering to Public Works and Utilities and merged Community Development and Economic Development into a new Community Services Department. He pushed ahead on the new water treatment plant and fought for a new municipal court facility, which was overdue.

His focus was e ciency and fewer people reporting to the city man-

CROSS CURRENTS

Think your ngers aren’t smudged with black coal dust?

Even in the Roaring Fork Valley and Boulder County, places with no smokestacks currently in use, we still rely upon coal power. Coal has made the lives of nearly all Coloradans easier.

at’s why the recent agreement that could result in more than $70 million being paid to a city and county in northwestern Colorado deserves attention. It is the strongest evidence yet of Colorado’s commitment to just transition.

In 2019, Colorado targeted dra-

ager. He expected 110% from city personnel including time-sensitive responses to citizen complaints/inquiries.

We wish him well in his continuing career. e city is fortunate to have Deputy City Manager Jodie Andrews to step up as Interim City Manager again. He is no stranger to what the position expects and requires and will do a stellar job while city council decides on who will be the next city manager

Is third time the charm for Je co “deBrucing” attempt?

e three Je erson County Commissioners have placed another attempt on this November’s ballot to “de-Bruce” county revenues in excess of TABOR (Taxpayers’ Bill of Rights) limits. is will be the third try in ve years.

e Board of County Commissioners believe county services are falling behind and need the extra revenue to maintain more streets, beef up public safety and other county functions -such as the county jail.

A majority of the 64 counties in

Colorado have successfully deBruced and most cities have as well. One compelling fact which a consultant to the county on this endeavor made was, “Since the county received much less revenue in 2020 due to the economic shutdown during the COVID-19 pandemic, the TABOR formula automatically lowered the county revenue limit by $14.5 million—a permanent reduction that continues to impact the county’s budget and nances to this day.”

Given the growth in Je erson County and the loss of revenue, it’s a prudent argument to vote in favor of de-Brucing and letting the county keep all generated revenue. However, they need to come out with a compelling, factual and illustrative case for a “YES” vote.

Westminster to debate allowing firearms in public buildings

Council member David DeMott is leading the charge in Westminster to opt out of a new state law which bans rearms in “sensitive spaces” such as municipal and county buildings, court houses, public or private schools, childcare centers and more. e ban includes “openly as well as concealed” weapons.

Currently, there are approximately one dozen counties and municipalities that have opted out of the

state law and allow rearms in public buildings.

DeMott’s point is “I want people who are law-abiding and went through the rigor of getting their concealed-carry permit to be able to exercise their right to conceal-carry. To me, it’s about personal safety.”

While I understand his argument, I believe it to be more prudent stick with the ban imposed by the new law e ective July 1. Politics, policy-debates on local issues and Democrat versus Republican type thinking all walk in the door to the council chambers. Plus, the attempted assassination of former President Trump is an example of what can happen in a gathering of people which has political stances on issues as the reason to gather. at is why city councils have armed uniformed police personnel in their meetings. ey are there to protect the council and the public from such outrageous acts as one person shooting a rearm at another person. Let’s keep the rearms in the car and leave the protection of the public to our trained local law enforcement personnel. e issue is on the July 22 Council agenda. Who has the popcorn concession for the evening?

How Craig matters in Colorado’s just energy transition

matic reductions in greenhouse gas emissions, the rst milestone being 50% economywide reduction in emissions by 2030. Replacing coalburning plants with cheaper, cleaner wind and solar backstopped by natural gas will be the easiest work.

We’re on track to have that task nearly completed by 2028.

State legislators that same year adopted a just transition law that so far remains unique to Colorado. e law declared a “moral commitment to assist the workers and communities that have powered Colorado for generations.”

Noble intention. What does it mean in practice?

Our most concrete example comes from Craig, a city of 9,000 set amid the sagebrush of the Yampa River Valley. Nearby are three coal-burning units supplied by two local coal mines. Together they deliver 43% of the property tax base for Craig and

Mo at County as well as hundreds of reasonably well-paying blue-collar jobs.

Other Colorado communities will also lose jobs but with lesser percentage impact. Mo at County’s job loss will be 5.1 times that of nearby Routt County, 16.8 times the projected percentage loss in Morgan County, and 33.7 times that of Pueblo County. Ski towns depend greatly upon snow and are mostly dominated by major ski area operators. But their economies long ago began diversifying.

Assassination attempt undercuts democracy

I am not certain that words can adequately express my feelings and reaction to the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump at the Butler, Pennsylvania rally.

Shock, anger, concern, disappointment, frustration and doubt come to mind. Later, after he was safe and protected by FBI, Secret Service and other law enforcement personnel, I experienced thankfulness, faith, reassurance, hope, doubt, appreciation and sympathy. What a demonic, awful shooting disaster and to think what if the bullet had been 1/8 of one inch closer to Mr. Trump’s head. ank God. I was impressed with his text post talking about the need for unity in America. President Biden expressed similar views in his special address to the nation.

Unfortunately, our nation is more politically polarized than perhaps ever before. ere truly is a need to tone things down, slow down, and take a breath and all the other catch phrases they spoke. I just pray that both men and both parties will earnestly follow through. We will quickly nd out.

Westminster Public Schools considering a bond issue

WPS spokesman Steve Saunders con rmed that the Board of Education is considering a bond issue which could go on the November 5 ballot. ey have until August 27 to decide and certify their ballot question.

I wasn’t given any details on the amount or purpose(s) of the possible debt issue. e district will be using an interactive feature on their website to “take the temperature” of the voting public to help the board decide. Stay tuned for more details.

Another bad idea: Vending machines to dispense ammunition

Believe it or not, there is a company which operates vending machines which dispenses ammunition at grocery stores.

So far, American Rounds has set up six such vending machines with one in Alabama, four in Oklahoma, one in Texas with plans for another

one there.

But here’s the “breaking news”they are planning on sites in Colorado in the coming weeks. ey are looking to land in Buena Vista and a couple of other locations.

Here is what the company says about assuring selling only to eligible customers - ”its machines use an identi cation scanner to validate that buyers are age 21 or older and ensures it is a valid license. It also uses facial recognition software to verify “you are who you are saying you are as a consumer.”

American Rounds contends that their age-veri cation technology on the transactions is as secure as or more so than retail stores. Regardless of what they market, I would still have concerns with the legitimacy of con rming proper age and identi cation. It is already easy enough for gun owners to purchase ammunition.

Let’s leave vending machines for candy, snacks, water and soft drinks.

A cool place during heat advisories

With the scorching heat in July, it is important to have places where people such as homeless individuals or seniors without air conditioning can get out of the heat. Denver, Westminster, ornton and other municipalities have announced their “cooling shelters” programs to beat the heat.

Westminster Fire Department is responsible for monitoring heat advisories. Whenever the weather bureau declares “Major” or “Extreme” heat risk advisories, the city will advise the community accordingly and tell them which city facilities are open to function as “cooling shelters.” All city tness and recreation centers are available during regular operating hours as well as the two city libraries.

Also, the MAC and Countryside Pool are included on the list.

If you or people you know need a cooler indoors environment during these “Heat Dome” events, you are encouraged to take advantage of the city’s o er. Extreme heat does impact the human body and can lead to serious health consequences.

IN GOOD HANDS

Local single moms use low-cost automotive services to provide for families

BY CORINNE WESTEMAN CWESTEMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Danicka omas’ car was on its last leg.

For weeks, the Denver resident asked her neighbors for rides or spent hundreds of dollars on rideshares. With six children who all needed to be in di erent places at varying times, omas said public transportation wasn’t a viable option. She needed a car — a real, working car.

Finally, last month, she caught a ride to a concert at Clement Park, and then drove home in a new car.

“It’s been a long time coming,” omas said. “ … I’m beyond words.”

On June 28, Goldenbased nonpro t organization Hands of the Carpenter hosted a bene t concert to help omas and other single moms throughout the Denver area.

e faith-based nonpro t o ers low-cost automotive services, including maintenance and placement, for working single moms. It serves clients in Adams, Arapahoe, Boulder, Broomeld, Denver, Douglas and Je erson counties.

Hands of the Carpenter started in 2003 and has garages in Golden and Aurora. It plans to open a third in the Federal Heights area this fall, Founder Dan Georgopulos said.

In 2022, it served 355 families. Last year, after opening the Aurora garage, it served 609.

Georgopulos added that Hands of the Carpenter had helped more than 400 fami-

lies so far in 2024, and believed the third garage would enable it to serve even more clients than 2023.

“We know there’s a lot of need in the northern Denver area,” he said, adding that the Federal Heights garage will be the largest of the three, with eight bays total.

As its operations expand, Georgopulos hoped the nonpro t’s clients, volunteers and other supporters would continue to spread the word about Hands of the Carpenter’s mission and services.

“Everybody knows somebody who needs help,” he continued.

‘It’s life-changing’ omas, who heard about Hands of the Carpenter from a coworker, reached out to the nonpro t in October. With her new car, she’ll be participating in the three-year Lift UP Program, which includes low-cost repairs and maintenance. e car itself was 35% of the retail cost under the Lift UP Program.

With her new 2010 Ford Edge Sport, omas said that she’s looking forward to driving herself to and from work, getting her children to all their commitments, and making a road-trip to visit her out-of-state relatives without issue.

“It’s life-changing,” she continued.

She thanked all the Hands of the Carpenter leaders and volunteers, and everyone who helped with the June 28 bene t concert, including musicians Hazel Miller & the Collective.

GOOD HANDS

“I hope they’re able to bless many more families,” omas said of the nonpro t.

On July 9, Lakewood’s Jasmine Coronado-Lopez took her car to the Golden garage for maintenance. After being referred through Hope House, she’s been in the Lift UP Program since March.

Coronado-Lopez said her car’s been having transmission problems, and Hands of the Carpenter referred her to an outside shop for additional evaluation. She hoped to get it xed soon, saying the nonpro t has been helping her navigate the stressful situation.

“ ey’ve been so helpful and encouraging on my journey to gure out cars and get my kids around safely,” she continued.

As a delivery driver and a relative’s primary care worker, Coronado-Lopez said having a car is crucial for picking up medication, grocery-shopping, and other tasks. She was thankful Hands of the Carpenter has kept her car running “when I thought it was going to break down for good,” she said.

She’s referred other moms, saying she’s learned a lot about cars as the Hands of the Carpenter mechanics walk her through everything her car needs and why. While she believed other shops might talk down to their clients or take advantage of them, Coronado-Lopez felt informed on the process at Hands of the Carpenter.

“It feels home-like,” she said of bringing her car into the Golden garage. “… I’m so thankful for all the work they’ve already done in the last few months.”

Aurora’s Antoinette Ogunwo is starting her third year with the Lift UP Program this August, as Hands of the Carpenter placed her with a 2011 Chevy Malibu a few years ago.

Ogunwo recalled trying to apply for help several years ago, but Hands of the Carpenter wasn’t serving her area yet.

After it expanded, though, she received a yer in the mail and applied that night.

She described how, before getting her current car, Ogunwo “kept driving lemons.” She became trapped in a vicious cycle of needing to x or replace her car on a regular basis. So, after she received her new car at a bene t concert like omas did, Ogunwo said it was “truly a blessing.”

Not only has it helped her family get around town, but Ogunwo said, “I’ve learned to manage my nances and appreciate what I have.”

Overall, she said her experiences with Hands of the Carpenter were reassuring, adding, “You’re in good hands.”

‘They do it with heart’

Along with individual donors, Hands of the Carpenter receives grants and donations from businesses, civic and philanthropic organizations, and faith-based groups.

Nancy Smith of St. Paul’s Episcopal Church in Lakewood said her group has been supporting Hands of the Carpenter’s work for years. She also volunteers at the Golden garage, helping families when they bring their cars in for service.

She said people don’t need to be mechanics to volunteer.

Just welcoming the clients and spreading the word is key, Smith continued, adding, “ ere’s something for everyone (to help with).”

In addition to monetary donations, Hands of the Carpenter also accepts vehicles. Georgopulos said that, depending on its condition, it might be placed with a family or sold to fund additional services.

From her experiences as a volunteer, Smith described just how important having a working and reliable car is for every family the nonpro t helps. She and Georgopulos hoped people would continue to support Hands of the Carpenter as it opens the third garage later this year.

“ ey’re making a di erence in people’s lives,” Smith said, “ … and they do it with heart.”

WEvergreen Festival returns for a celebration of jazz

hen most people think of live jazz, many probably imagine dimly lit, smokelled clubs. However, the music sounds just as great at a higher elevation.

at’s the idea behind the Evergreen Jazz Festival, which is returning for its 21st year on Friday, July 26 through Sunday, July 28.

“What makes the festival unique is we focus on classic and early forms of jazz,” said Ed Danielson, the event’s music director. “ ere are still plenty of people out there playing and appreciating this kind of music.”

When Danielson said the festival features on classic jazz, he means the types of jazz that really helped to create the genre — big band, Dixieland, and Gypsy and western swing. Some of the legendary artists who

pioneered this music include Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington and Jelly Roll Morton, just to name a few e three-day festival features musicians performing at a variety of lovely venues in Evergreen: the Evergreen Elks Lodge, Evergreen Lake House, Evergreen Christian Church and Center Stage. Each space provides a unique live experience and they all have the bene t of being surrounded by Evergreen’s natural beauty.

Some of the bands that are performing at this year’s festival include:

After Midnight (Denver): A group that’s been around more than 30 years and specializes in the sounds of the legends of the swing era, like Benny Goodman, Artie Shaw and Woody Herman.

Jeremy Mohney & His Band (Boulder): Making their festival debut, this group has quickly made a name for itself thanks to its energetic and fun take on classic jazz from the 1920s and 40s.

e Hot Tomatoes Dance Orchestra (Denver): A band for the dancers, this swing group is made up of top-notch musicians performing some of the swing era’s greatest hits. ey’re guaranteed to get you out on the dance oor.

Appealing to younger audiences is a key goal for Danielson, and bringing in younger performers and groups that play music attendees

can dance to is a key part of that effort.

“ ere’s been a renewed interest in recent years in swing dancing, so we want to make sure the performances are danceable,” he said. “We o er dance lessons as part of the festival as well.”

ere will be food trucks at this year’s event and all funds raised go right back to putting on the festival for another year. Since the event’s mission includes a commitment to jazz education, attending is a great way to listen to wonderful live music and support a good cause.

“ e festival is just a real pleasant way to spend the weekend,” Danielson said. “ e music is great and the people are friendly. It’s a real joy to be part of.”

DIA

Takes Live Music to the Skies

ere are a lot of interesting live music venues in the metro area, but the Denver International Airport’s Concerts on the Fly series has to be high up on the list.

e second annual outdoor concert series will take place from 2 to 6 p.m. every Sunday from July 28 through Sept. 1 at the airport’s 82,000-square-foot open-air plaza, located between the South Security TSA Checkpoint on the south end of the Jeppesen Terminal and e Westin Denver International Airport Hotel and Transit Center. Performers will include Ambrosia, e Motet, Dotsero and more, and food and drinks will be available for purchase on site. e concerts are free, but there are a limited number of tickets available, and guests must register in advance. Visit FlyDenver.com/concerts for more information.

Clarke’s Concert of the Week — Oneness Tour at Red Rocks e Oneness Tour, which features guitar legend Carlos Santana and 90’s rock stalwarts Counting Crows might seem like an odd pairing, but since both have consistently delivered high-quality rock music for decades, I think it makes perfect sense. e tour will be stopping by Red Rocks, 18300 W. Alameda Parkway in Morrison, for two nights: 7 p.m. on Monday, July 29 and Tuesday, July 30. For a night of musical greatness, get tickets at www.axs.com.

Crested Butte in the 1990s began having more lucrative months in summer than in winter. Di erences in sales tax revenues between good and poor snow winters in the resort valleys vary, but not by all that much. Perhaps no other place in Colorado depends so much on one industry and one employer than Craig. e settlement agreement reached among Craig and Mo at County, environmental groups, and roughly a dozen others is complex. It required

year-long negotiation. Notable is the voluntary participation of Tri-State Generation and Transmission Association, the operator of all three coal-burning units and owner of one of the mines.

Tri-State is second only to Xcel Energy in Colorado in electrical generation but it has a di erent business model. It’s a cooperative, owned by its members, 41 electrical cooperatives in Colorado and three other states. It argued that as a legal principle, it was not obligated to assist the communities where it is leaving coal behind. Arguably, that was true. Unlike Xcel Energy, no state law speci cally mentions Tri-State.

But there is little doubt that Colorado lawmakers thought utilities –and by extension you and me – had the obligation to ease the glide path for coal-dependent communities. In the end, Tri-State stepped up. It’s a two-tiered package. Four years of payments totaling $22 million will start beginning in 2026. Tri-State also committed to paying $48 million beginning in 2028, but that money is conditional. If Tri-State reinvests in Mo at County, such as with a new natural gas plant, the tax revenue will be deducted from those payments.

ere’s also a water component: an award to Mo at County for augmentation water rights valued by the county at up to $3 million.

ese payments won’t make Craig economically whole. e town and its various school, re, and other taxing districts need to gure out how to reinvent their economic fabric. Can improved rail to the Yampa Valley, as identi ed by state legislation earlier this year, make a di erence? Craig isn’t delivered a future on a silver platter. It’s only been given a helping hand.

What does this mean for Pueblo and Hayden, where Xcel Energy has coal-burning plants that will be retired, and at Brush, where the Pawnee plant will be converted to burn gas?

Xcel Energy has already agreed to pay property taxes until 2040 on Comanche 3, the coal unit in Pueblo originally scheduled to burn coal until 2070. It is now to close in 2031. What else Xcel Energy may need to deliver at Pueblo and Hayden will be the subject of discussions for the next year or two. It is scheduled to deliver its thinking to state regulators by Aug. 1.

Why does this matter? is speaks to who we want to be. We can no longer a ord coal. It costs more than renewables. ere’s also a much greater cost, the enormous risk of climate instability. But we need to honor the coal miners and coal towns and help them move on to new careers.

Study shows ‘churn’ hurts classrooms

Mobile students have lower third grade reading scores

BY MELANIE ASMAR CHALKBEAT COLORADO

Classroom “churn” — when students leave a classroom midyear or new students join — can have a negative e ect on third grade reading scores, according to a new study that examined Colorado census and state standardized test data.

e study, by researchers at the Colorado Futures Center at Colorado State University, found that higher classroom churn was correlated with lower third grade reading scores, based on data from 2019. It’s a trend that the center’s executive director and lead economist, Phyllis Resnick, suspects has ramped up since that year, as schools experience higher levels of chronic absenteeism after the pandemic and struggle to make up for lost learning.

After the study revealed that nding, Resnick said she spoke to one teacher who had 40 di erent students cycle in and out of 20 seats in her classroom in a single year.

“Every time you have a new student, you have to take a step back and assess where that student is and then integrate them into the classroom,” Resnick said.

“It’s not easy to be a kid who’s bouncing in and out of schools,” she said, “but it’s also a challenge for the kids who are consistently in the classroom.”

Classroom churn was one of many factors examined in the study, called “Social Factors of Academic Success.” e research, Resnick said, grew out of a question from CSU ofcials: What policies can Colorado adopt to help students be more prepared for learning after high school, whether that’s at a college campus, a vocational training program, or a job site?

Resnick doesn’t specialize in education research, but she said it quickly became clear that early intervention, or policies with the potential to impact young students, would be most e ective.

With a team well-versed in g-

uring out the impact of di erent socioeconomic, demographic, and community health factors, she and the other researchers set out to determine which of those factors most a ect third grade reading scores in Colorado.

Many of the ndings were unsurprising. For instance, the team found that the more funding a school had, or the more access to early childhood education a community had, the higher its students’ third grade reading scores.

e nding about classroom churn stood out as more interesting, Resnick said. To calculate it, the team used data collected by the Colorado Department of Education on student mobility, plus scores from the state’s third grade standardized reading and writing test.

When stacked up against all the other factors, classroom churn ranked third among the factors most closely correlated with third grade reading scores, behind students’ household income and whether their parents have college degrees. Other classroom factors, including class size and teacher pay, did not correlate with third grade reading scores, the study found.

As Resnick has shared the ndings informally with elementary school teachers and principals, she said many of them have acknowledged that churn can be di cult. But they said they never thought of it as a problem that could be solved by policy. Instead, Resnick said, they thought of it as something that would always be there. She described it as “the air they breathe.”

e study makes several policy rec-

ommendations to address classroom churn, including providing more support in classrooms with high churn or having teachers “loop” with

the same cohort of students year after year to provide some level of stability.

Housing instability is often a root cause of classroom churn, and while it may be di cult for schools to affect housing policy, the study suggests that states shore up their school records transfer systems so teachers know the academic histories of students who arrive midyear.

Now that the study has been released, Resnick hopes to nd the funding to take it on the road to discuss the ndings and potential policy solutions with educators across Colorado.

“We see this as the beginning to frame a conversation,” she said. is story was printed through a news sharing agreement with Chalkbeat Colorado, a nonpro t news site covering educational change in public schools.

Colorado’s Carrie Hauser to head the Trust for Public Land

The organization is a 50-year-old nonprofit conservation group that serves the nation

BY SHANNON MULLANE

THE COLORADO SUN

Carrie Besnette Hauser grew up climbing down rst.

As a kid in northern Arizona, she’d often hike into the Grand Canyon, where descents precede ascents.

In Colorado, she ipped the direction of her o -road ambling and climbed all the state’s 14ers. ose ascents are a mere footnote in her list of Colorado accomplishments, where the outdoorswoman and Ph.D. recipient spent 11 years guiding Colorado Mountain College, worked two terms as a commissioner for Colorado Parks and Wildlife and served on more than a dozen high-pro le rural and urban business, nance, governance and charitable boards.

“It’s been really fun to get to know the state through this tapestry of peaks and rivers and sort of set some goals,” she said. “And really, I think it’s been as much a re ection of learning about these particularly rural communities where so much of this outdoor economy is so important.”

Hauser is now taking the national reins of the Trust for Public Land, a 50-year-old nonpro t conservation group with o ces in more than 30 states that has worked to protect nationally treasured landscapes as well as creating more than 5,000 community parks that put green, open spaces within a 10-minute walk of nearly 10 million Americans.

It’s a big deal for Colorado to have

the boss of one of the most powerful conservation groups in the country living on the Western Slope. (Hauser is not leaving Colorado.) And it’s an even better deal for the Trust for Public Land.

“Carrie understands the profound impact that access to the outdoors can have on individuals and communities, and her leadership will help us bring these bene ts to even more people across the country,”

Lucas St. Clair, chair of the trust’s board, said in a statement. “Her passion for the outdoors, commitment to equitable access to nature, and extensive community leader-

ship will propel TPL’s mission and team forward.”

Hauser recently stepped down from an 11-year run as president of Colorado Mountain College, where she guided nearly $100 million in investment in housing and facilities, increased graduation rates to record levels and aligned the school’s 11 campuses with the needs of the communities as part of its Dual Mission. Colorado Mountain College’s Dual Mission work trains nurses, police o cers, avalanche scientists, resort managers, chairlift mechanics, artists, environmental scientists and sustainability experts who

help communities better handle the shifting challenges facing rural mountain towns. e school is funded by property taxes collected across eight counties covering 7,500 square miles of rural Colorado.

“We’re loving these incredible places to death and we’ve got to gure out how to protect them,” she said, noting how Colorado Mountain College’s innovative 130 education tracks enable students to safeguard landscapes and mountain economies for future generations.

Hauser sees similarities in the Colorado Mountain College funding model and the way the Trust for Public Land nances conservation in that both are deeply involved with rural communities. It’s not just about raising money to fund education for 12,000 students or protecting tens of thousands of acres of wild lands. It’s about showing up in communities and working with residents to meet their needs.

“I think we need to think about not just protecting land or opening a park. It’s also, ‘What are the longterm impacts?’” she said. “How do you think about these things in the way of systems and not just sort of one project and move to the next project. How do they also connect together?”

Under Hauser’s leadership, Colorado Mountain College earned federal designation as a Hispanic Serving Institution, attracting a student population that is more than 25% Latino, better re ecting the high country communities that house its campuses. e work will help her carry on the Trust for Public Land mission to connect more people with the outdoors and foster the next generation of public land stewards.

Carrie Hauser, seen here atop La Plata Peak in early July, has climbed every 14er in Colorado, a quest she said was “a reflection of learning about these particularly rural communities.”

Ikon or Epic Pass? We asked 13 locals for their opinion

BY JOHN RENFRO JRENFROW@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

ough we just eclipsed the Fourth of July, it’s smart to start thinking about gearing up for the winter season again. Colorado is the ultimate outdoor playground for skiing and snowboarding, but the options can be overwhelming, especially if you’re just getting into the sport(s).

Aside from hitting the backcountry, you’ll likely need to visit one of roughly 40 prominent resorts seasoned throughout the Rocky Mountains. It’s no secret they can get pricey, with day passes topping a couple hundred dollars.  at’s why most powder-crazy Coloradans purchase an Ikon or an Epic Pass. Depending on the option you choose, the pass can provide access to dozens of resorts not just in Colorado, but worldwide.

Instead of waiting for temperatures to drop, many slopeheads believe summer is the best time to load up on used gear and secure season passes. Other than price, several factors might determine which pass you favor.

So, we asked eight locals for their opinion: Ikon or Epic?

Ikon

“When I was in college in Colorado Springs, me and all my friends got the Epic Pass because there was a great college discount with access to lots of great mountains. However, since moving to Denver I’ve been on Ikon and believe it is the better of the two passes. If I leave early enough on the weekend, I can get to Winter Park in just over an hour and avoid the I-70 Eisenhower Tunnel tra c. Epic does not o er any mountains this close. Despite its proximity, Winter Park has also become one of my favorite mountains from a pure snowboarding perspective, with highly variable terrain perfect for any group I might take there. While I do get FOMO for not having access to Breckenridge, Vail or Telluride through the Epic

Pass, these mountains are all further than Winter Park and give o a more bougie, rich, tourist vibe that doesn’t appeal to me. Additionally, I am from Los Angeles and my home resort is Mammoth Mountain. Given that Mammoth is on the Ikon Pass, it is very convenient to be able to go home for the holidays and use the same pass I use in Colorado. Ikon also has great mountains all over the world. I am already planning a trip to Japan this winter to ski at Niseko.”

— Kyle Warner, Denver - LoHi

“Ikon is the move. Fewer options but fewer crowds. Plus, you get seven days at Arapahoe Basin and Aspen, and you get seven days at a lot of cool resorts. So if you plan to travel, you could hit Big Sky (Montana), Jackson Hole (Wyoming), Deer Valley (Utah), Taos (New Mexico), Sun Valley (Idaho), etc. One winter I did a trip to Big Sky and that alone made getting the pass worth it because day passes are so expensive.”

— Catherine Dodge, Wheat Ridge

“I most enjoy the people I’ve met while skiing Ikon mountains. ey always have great vibes and made the skiing even more enjoyable than the world-class mountains. e tailgating at Arapahoe Basin is unmatched and hard to nd a better group of mountain-loving people.”

— Alex Greene, Littleton

“I have the Ikon Pass and prefer it because of the mountains in Colorado as I nd them to be less touristy. I also enjoy being able to go to certain mountains on Ikon when I go home back east.”

— Isabelle Risse, Denver - Sloan’s Lake Epic

“When deciding between Ikon and Epic it’s been tough in the past. However lately Epic has been our pass of choice although we have both. ere are more Epic options on the pass and mountains like Keystone have been a bit less crowded with great conditions.

Epic was also gracious enough to

let us take advantage of early season pricing when we thought our passes were on auto-renew and they were not. Ikon would not allow us to get the same price. We had to pay midseason pricing.”

— Justin Scott, Georgetown

“When I rst moved to Denver, we went with Epic because those were the resorts that had more recognizable names. After two years we switched to Ikon. is year we’ll be going back to Epic. If you’re coming from Denver, Epic has more resorts within driving distance, but it also draws out bigger tourism crowds. In my opinion, I think it’s because those names like Vail, Breckenridge, and Crested Butte are more recognizable. I felt more limited with Ikon but crowds are better and the resorts were well worth

only having two or three nearby for day trips. Some years I feel like the higher price tag with Ikon is worth it, and some years I want to hit the Epic resorts for the better scenery and deal with the crowds. If I had to pick just one, I’d probably grumble for a whole week and then decide on Epic.”

— Paul Toth, Aurora

“Grew up riding Epic mountains and they’re still my favorite places to go. Vibes are better, runs are wider, less moguls, less ice. What snowboarder wants to spend their day on moguls and ice? Bought Ikon last year to see what the hype was about and wasn’t super happy with it.”

— Sarah Samuel, Denver - Capitol Hill

PASSES

“Ultimately, I chose the Epic Pass as it was what the majority of my friends purchased. I’m a big fan of the Epic Pass because I liked being able to go to Keystone and Breckenridge for the day. It also was a great excuse to travel to Park City and get some skiing in. I have a few friends who ski Vail exclusively, so it’s nice to be able to go there for a few days too.”

— Annie Strongwater, Denver - West Colfax

“We’re lucky to have tons of nearby options on both passes here in Denver. I did Epic for the rst two years when I rst moved out here because, as a Navy guy, the price on Epic couldn’t be beat. When I got out of the military, I gave Ikon

a try and I fell in love with Winter Park. I’ve yet to have a single bad day at Winter Park early season, late season, or heavy powder. I could loop Panoramic all day and being able to bail on I-70 early on the trip can’t be understated. I’ve gone back this to Epic resorts this year to save money since im getting fewer days in with a one-year-old at home. ey are great as well but you have to get far from the base and stay away from that area because Keystone, Breckenridge and Vail are painful to navigate the learner and family crowds causing astronomical lift lines on the front sides. I am looking forward to seeing those legendary back bowls at Vail again.”

— Chaz DeSio, Aurora

“Honestly, whatever is cheaper, which is Epic. I got Winter Park this year only because I can take the train and it’s cheaper than Ikon. I love to ski

but I don’t need access to that many mountains.”

— Dana Itah, Denver - Sloan’s Lake

Both

“I have both Ikon and Epic Pass as it gives me the exibility to go to any mountain I want and not be restricted on where and when I can go.”

— Aileen Mendez, DenverLoHi

“I have both. I think Ikon is better for day trips and then I have Epic for trips to Vail.”

— Ryan Larkin, DenverHighlands

Neither

“Haven’t bought a pass before, but considering one for next season. Most likely Epic, but it’s dependent on which route friends are going.”

— Matt Fitzpatrick, DenverLoHi

C. Location: In Case No. 81CW446, Westminster obtained a decree for an exchange of water between Westminster’s Big Dry Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant and Big Dry Intakes Nos. 1 through 6 (the “1981 BDC Exchange”). A map identifying the general locations of the relevant exchange points for this exchange is attached as Exhibit A. The locations of the structures are as follows: Westminster’s Big Dry Creek Waste Water Treatment Plant: At a point on the north bank of Big Dry Creek 400 feet east of Huron Street in the Northwest 1/4 of the Southwest 1/4 of Section 27, Township 1 South, Range 68 West, County of Adams, State of Colorado. Big Dry Intake No. 1: A point located in the Southeast 1/4 of Section 14, Township 2 South, Range 69 West, County of Jefferson, State of Colorado, more particularly described as follows: The South quarter corner of Section 14, Township 2 South, Range 69 West, 6th P.M., bears S04̊59’18”W, 1353.34 feet from the point of diversion. Big Dry Intake No. 2: A point located in the Northwest 1/4 of Section 13, Township 2 South, Range 69 West, County of Jefferson, State of Colorado, more particularly described as follows: The Northwest corner of Section 13, Township 2 South, Range 69 West, 6th P.M., bears N37̊57’18”W, 1135.24 feet from the point of diversion. Big Dry Intake No. 3: Points on both sides of Big Dry Creek located in the Southeast 1/4 of Section 6, Township 2 South, Range 68 West, County of Adams, State of Colorado, more particularly described as follows: The South quarter corner of Section 6, Township 2 South, Range 68 West, 6th P.M., bears S09̊03’48”W, 1441.90 feet from the point of diversion. Big Dry Intake No. 4: A point located in the Southeast 1/4 of Section 12, Township 2 South, Range 69 West, County of Jefferson, State of Colorado, more particularly described as follows: At a point whence the East quarter corner of Section 12, Township 2 South, Range 69 West, 6th P.M., bears N62̊20’23”E, 1913.89 feet. Big Dry Intake No. 5: A point located in the Southeast 1/4 of Section 12, Township 2 South, Range 69 West, County of Jefferson, State of Colorado, more particularly described as follows: At a point whence the East quarter corner of Section 12, Township 2 South, Range 69 West, 6th P.M., bears N71̊22’09”E, 1574.55 feet. Big Dry Intake No. 6: A point located in the Northeast 1/4 of Section 12, Township 2 South, Range 69 West, County of Jefferson, State of Colorado, more particularly described as follows: At a point whence the East quarter corner of Section 12, Township 2 South, Range 69 West, 6th P.M., bears S58̊18’56”E, 1073.68 feet. D. Source of water: In Case No. 81CW446, Westminster obtained a decree for the 1981 BDC Exchange using effluent generated at the Westminster Big Dry Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant as a substitute supply. The source of water diverted by exchange is Big Dry Creek. The source of effluent used as a substitute supply is from certain water rights diverted by Westminster through its municipal utility system pursuant to the decree entered in Case No. W-8743, Water Court, Water Division No. 1, State of Colorado and from certain nontributary groundwater rights diverted by Westminster through its municipal utility system pursuant to the decree in Cases No. W-4017 and W-8741-77, Water Court, Water Division No. 1, State of Colorado. E. Appropriation Date: September 14, 1981, Case No. 81CW446 in the amount of 20 c.f.s. F. Use: Pursuant to the decree entered in Case No. 81CW446, the water diverted will be used in the City of Westminster’s municipal utility system for municipal, irrigation, domestic, commercial, industrial, recreational, exchange, replacement, and augmentation purposes. Westminster may make direct use, storage, reuse, successive use, further exchange and thereby fully consume the waters diverted and accounted for under operation of the decree in Case No. 81CW446. 4. Detailed outline of what has been done toward completion of the appropriation and application to a beneficial use. A. In Case No. 95CW088, the Water Court decreed that 2.56 c.f.s. of the 20 c.f.s. conditional decree in Case No. 81CW446 for the 1981 BDC Exchange had been made absolute by completion of the appropriation and application of the water to beneficial use. Subsequently, in Case Nos. 08CW273 and 17CW3169, the Water Court issued findings of diligence and thereby ruled that the remaining 17.44 c.f.s. of the conditional

Notice No.: NTS3764

portion of the 1981 BDC Exchange remains in effect. During the present diligence period, the rate of exchange has not exceeded the 2.56 c.f.s. previously determined absolute by the Court in Case No. 95CW088. B. During the diligence period, Westminster began working on improvements to its City Park. These enhancements are intended to improve sections of Big Dry Creek by reconnecting the natural floodplain, reducing maintenance costs, creating healthier stream conditions and improving flood management. These activities are ongoing. In addition, during the diligence period, Westminster began installation of an impervious liner to its City Park Pond located adjacent to Big Dry Creek. Activities associated with this effort included draining of City Park Pond, removal of excess sediment and regrading of the pond, stabilizing the local channel; reconstructing or replacing grade control structures, box culverts, and retaining walls; and installing a polyethylene pond liner. Depending on progress and flow conditions, the City hopes to have City Park Pond refilled by the end of this year. One of the sources of water that may be used to refill City Park Pond includes water diverted pursuant to the 1981 BDC Exchange. Costs related to these activities have been incurred during the diligence period. C. During the diligence period, Westminster has, pursuant to the decree in Case No. W-8743, diverted water into the municipal utility system and put such water to beneficial use in Westminster’s water service area. Beneficial use of said water has then generated effluent at Westminster’s Big Dry Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant for exchange pursuant to the decree in Case No. 81CW446. In a prior diligence period, Westminster expanded the capacity of the Big Dry Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant thereby allowing treatment of additional effluent at the Plant. D. Westminster has previously participated in a joint effort with the City of Thornton and the USGS to construct a flow gauge on Big Dry Creek. During the diligence period, Westminster has made annual contributions of approximately $5,000.00 to cover a portion of the operations and maintenance for said gauge. The gauge is used to measure flows in Big Dry Creek and provides a basis for the calculation of exchange potential on Big Dry Creek. Moreover, Westminster staff has participated in the Big Dry Creek Watershed Association, a cooperative effort among all Big Dry Creek water users to monitor flow data, as well as other information. Costs associated with this effort were incurred during the diligence period. E. During the diligence period, Westminster has participated in a number of water court proceedings in an effort, in part, to protect and maintain return flows to both Big Dry Creek and the South Platte River. In addition, Westminster has participated in a number of water court proceedings in the Clear Creek basin in an effort, in part, to protect and maintain the full entitlement of water available to the water rights decreed in Case No. W-8743, Water Court, Water Division No. 1, State of Colorado. Under the terms of Case No. 81CW446, effluent generated by the use of said water rights in Westminster’s municipal utility system may be used for exchange purposes. F. Consistent with the findings in the decree issued in Case Nos. 08CW273 and 17CW3169, the 1981 BDC Exchange water right adjudicated in Case No. 81CW446 is part of Westminster’s Clear Creek raw water supply system, an integrated system as defined by § 37-92-301(4) C.R.S. During the diligence period, Westminster continued the development of its Clear Creek Water Supply System. Activities have included, but are not limited to, prosecuting Water Court applications to incorporate purchased Clear Creek water interests into Westminster’s water supply, participation in various water court proceedings to protect Westminster’s water supply system, participation in continuing efforts to effect improvements to and the enlargement of Standley Lake, significant improvements to the wastewater collection system associated with the Big Dry Creek Wastewater Treatment Facility, which is an “exchange from” point for the 1981 BDC Exchange, significant improvements to the Big Dry Creek Wastewater Treatment Facility and ongoing master planning efforts related to said Facility, substantial efforts to protect the quality of water of Westminster’s water supply system. Costs related to these activities have been incurred during the diligence period. 5. Water applied to beneficial use: Since diversions by exchange during the current diligence period did not exceed the current absolute flow rate of 2.56 c.f.s. for the 1981 BDC Exchange, Westminster is not claiming additional amounts absolute in this matter. 6. Name(s) and address(es) of owner(s) or reputed owners of the land upon which any new diversion or storage structure, or modification to any existing diversion or storage structure is or will be constructed or upon which water is or will be stored, including any modification to the existing storage pool: With the exception of Big Dry Creek Intake No. 3, the diversion structures involved in this exchange are all on property owned by the applicant, the City of Westminster. On information and belief, the existing Big Dry Creek Intake No. 3 is located on lands owned by the State Board of Community Colleges and Occupational Education. Big Dry Creek Intake No. 3 is an existing, not a new, diversion structure and there are no plans to modify said structure at this time. 7. Remarks/Other: Any decree entered in this matter will incorporate by reference the exchange terms and conditions contained in the underlying decree, Case No. 81CW446, including specifically the exchange terms set forth in paragraph 9 of said underlying decree. WHEREFORE, Westminster requests the Court to enter its decree and ruling as follows: A. To make a finding of reasonable diligence with respect to the remaining 17.44 c.f.s. conditionally decreed to the 1981 BDC Exchange, and providing that a subsequent showing of diligence be made six years from the date of entry of a decree of diligence.

Integrated System. Central owns numerous water rights and ditch and reservoir structures on the South Platte River and its tributaries which are operated as an integrated system to provide augmentation to over 1,200 member wells in two subdistricts. The conditional right decreed for Chatfield Reservoir is a part of Central’s integrated system. During the diligence period, Central undertook many different projects on its integrated system, including but not limited to purchasing water rights, constructing water storage and delivery infrastructure, filing applications for and obtaining decreed water rights and changes of water rights, and participating as an objector in water court cases for the purpose of protecting Central’s water rights. 4.

“In this politically divided climate where people don’t feel listened to when decisions are made, I think Trust for Public Land is squarely in the bull’s-eye of something that I think is really important. And that is the power of convening,” she said. “It’s the power of listening. It’s the power of making sure that all voices are heard, whether that’s a rancher on the Western Slope of Colorado or in the middle of Nebraska, or it’s a community in the South Side of Chicago that’s really working to make sure that that’s a safe place for kids.”

e search for a new president and chief executive at the Trust for Public Land homed in on Hauser’s “unique experience, particularly from the education side,” said Happy Haynes, a national and state board member for the Trust for Public Land and former director of Denver Parks and Recreation who has worked closely with Hauser when she was at Colorado Mountain College, the Daniels Fund and Metro State University.

“In the education realm, a lot of her work was focused on access and equity and getting kids who were less privileged into the outdoors,” Haynes said. “She brings

great perspective and experience to ways the outdoor world can better engage communities of color and low-income communities.”

e trust’s work in rural and urban communities mirrors Hauser’s work. She’s lived in Colorado’s big cities and small towns and advocated for both. She’s traveled to just about every small town in Colorado and listened to the concerns of rural citizens who are feeling left out of policymaking discussions that impact them. She’s worked with Tribal leaders to better address their concerns over land use policies. Breaking down the wall that divides rural and urban interests involves a lot of travel and meetings where all citizens have a voice.

“I do think that there’s an equity question around this,” she said. “And that is, how do you make the process of these conversations and these decisions and these projects in the case of TPL, how do you also make them equitable?”

Conservation around the country is on a roll. In the years coming out of the pandemic, voters overwhelmingly approved ballot measures that directed $3.7 billion toward preservation of open spaces and parks. e Trust for Public Land championed 26 conservation ballot measures in 11 states in 2020 and voters passed all of them, marking a rst-ever sweep for the organization.

Trust for Public Land has protected more than 61 million acres. In the 25 years since the trust started working with communities to secure voter-approved funding for land protection, the organization has helped secure $94 billion in funding for parks, climate and conservation.

One of Hauser’s most important assets, said Conor Hall, the head of the Colorado outdoor recreation ofce who spent many years working on national policy for the Trust for Public Land, “is that she is a phenomenal listener; a really genuine listener who has the talent and expertise to act on what she hears.”

Look at how she navigated dozens of public meetings with the Colorado Parks and Wildlife Commission as the agency reintroduced wolves to western Colorado. Look at how she guided Colorado Mountain College toward meeting the needs of rural economies where it has campuses.

“She is beloved in all the places she has lived and worked. It can feel like there is more of a divide than ever between the rural and urban right now and there are political chasms that feel insurmountable. e beauty of TPL is that everyone cares so much about nature and that can transcend a lot of these divides,” Hall said. “Watch Carrie lean into that and bring people together from all sorts of back-

e protection of open spaces in Colorado and the West is happening alongside increasing struggles around housing, real estate prices, the impacts of recreation and the challenges of shifting economic tides as communities transition away from traditional economic engines like tourism or energy development.

Balancing those issues with conservation is a delicate dance. Hauser points to Colorado Parks and Wildlife’s work to create a new state park around Fishers Peak in Trinidad as an example of how conservation groups can work with state o cials and local communities to create something that bene ts wildlife, ecosystems and residents.

“It means taking time to understand what’s our impact and how can we build in some of this infrastructure to support it?” she said. “You can’t just go ‘OK, the gates are open.’ It’s systematically thinking about both the protection side and the access side, to make sure that more people have access to these incredible places and a much richer, more diverse complexion of people have access to these places.” 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.
