Second Creek Pipeline work kicks off Wastewater treatment district touts project as aid to Northern metro growth BY SCOTT TAYLOR STAYLOR@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Officials virtually kicked off work on a 17-mile-long pipeline May 20 designed to bring wastewater from Metro Denver’s northern communities up to the Metro Wastewater Reclamation District’s Northern Treatment Plant in Brighton. “This solution allows us to plan for along term growth in each of our regions. Growth is not slowing down any time soon and we have to plan for the future, and in ways we’ve never had to plan before,” Adams County Commissioner Chaz Tedesco said during the virtual groundbreaking ceremony. Tedesco spoke via his smartphone while others logged on from around the area. “This service is essential, not optional, as our communities grow,” Tedesco said. “By providing 17 miles of new pipeline that connects to the newest treatment plant, we’ll be able to expand our current water reclamation services to our northeastern portions of the metro region.

lamation will be more efficient and will use fewer resources.” The pipeline will take wastewater from several communities in Denver’s northern area, including Aurora, Denver, Commerce City and Brighton as well as Denver International Airport and the South Adams County Water and Sanitation District. Work on the pipeline is supposed to continue through 2023, with it being brought into service in 2024. It’s been a long time coming, according to District Manager Mickey Conway. “It’s promising that when this project concludes, we will be able to get together and really celebrate. It’s something for us all to look forward to,” Conway said. “This project not just a 17-mile long piece of pipe. It represents a connection between communities that care about public health and the environment and the regional entity made up of those communities that its committed to making sure those values are taken care of.” The need for the pipeline was first noted by the Denver Regional Council of Government in 1982.

Tri-County lets local mask order expire State’s newly adjusted mask order will still apply BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
When the local public health agency for Adams, Arapahoe and Douglas counties amended its mask-wearing order to remove the requirement that masks be worn in outdoor public spaces — a change announced April 5 — the agency also announced the order was expected to remain in place until June 30. Tri-County Health Department instead let its order expire early on May 16, allowing its counties to follow only the state’s mask order.

“We amended our mask order (again) on April 9, the same day we issued our dial extension order,” said Jennifer Ludwig, the agency’s deputy director. Tri-County’s dial extension was essentially an order for a modified version of the state’s “dial” system of coronavirus restrictions for one month until May 15. “The reason we amended the mask order changing the (end) date from June 30 to (through) May 15 was to align with the first phase of the dial extension order and to be more in-line with our regional partners,” Ludwig said. Colorado’s statewide mask mandate still applies. Gov. Jared Polis on May 14 announced a move from a SEE MASK ORDER, P5

in Adams, Arapahoe, Jefferson, and Douglas counties, began work on the Brighton treatment plant in 2008, opening it in 2016. It’s currently fed by a similar pipeline the follows north along the South Platte River.
“Each day our hard-working and dedicated staff ensures that 130 million gallons of water is treated and returned to the South Platte River for the next user while resources from the wastewater are reused,” Metro District Chair Scott Twombly said. “It’s a complex and fascinating cycle.” Twombly said it’s a testament to cooperation among cities, counties and quasi-governmental districts
that work on the pipeline is able to get underway. “We used a collaborative planning approach to evaluate wastewater conveyance alternatives and identified this project as the optimal regional solution for cost-effective and long-term service in our Northen Metro Communities.” The pipeline will run from south of Denver International Airport northwest across the northeastern
tip of the Rocky Mountain Arsenal Wildlife Refuge. It continues northwest across U.S. Interstate 76 and joins with the existing South Platte Pipeline southeast where 470 crosses over Riverdale Road. According to Project Manager Jon Wicke, the 17-mile-long pipeline utilizes a gravity-powered design to minimize pumping, energy use, and greenhouse gas emissions.

Western Slope still stuck in drought Drastic cutbacks planned in planting, grazing because of low snowpack BY MICHAEL BOOTH AND ZACH BRIGHT THE COLORADO SUN
The Ute Mountain Ute Reservation sits at the lower end of a 40-mile, gravity-fed canal, and waits for whatever water the towering San Juan mountains will give up for the season. By the second week of May, it was clear 2021 will be a bust. The Utes’ farm enterprise has already switched to hopes for next year and fervent wishes that the hot winds and wildfires won’t do too much damage before then. Simon Martinez oversees thou-
sands of acres of alfalfa hay and specialty corn for the Ute Mountain Ute Farm and Ranch Enterprise, 400 miles from well-watered Denver. In a normal year, 25,000 acre-feet of water come down the canal from McPhee Reservoir to irrigate Ute crops. This year, the Utes’ junior water right will get them only 2,500 acrefeet from fast-draining McPhee. Late in last summer’s drought, the Dolores River reservoir hit dead pool, meaning there wasn’t enough water to spin hydroelectric turbines and generate electricity for the Four Corners region. River outflows from the dam this summer are likely to hit record lows, and downstream fish will die. Martinez and 20 Ute employees, half the number of a normal year, will grow crops on only one-tenth their usual alfalfa and corn acreage

as the devastating Western Colorado drought drags on. “So we’re feeling it this year,” Martinez said. “It’s basically been two years, and we hope for there not being a third.” Colorado’s historic tendency to move water to where people need it has numbed city dwellers to the plight of places currently not getting enough. Denver is nearing its total precipitation for all 12 months of 2020 in just the first five months of 2021, 9News meteorologist Chris Bianchi said. The South Platte River basin snowpack — snow that accumulates in the mountains that waters much of the Front Range population — sat at a sopping 114% of normal in mid-May. But snowpack meant to slake the Utes and other farmers and ranchers and towns in the Four Corners is at 36%. And it’s disappearing fast. The U.S. Drought Monitor reported that 13% of the state, mostly in the highly populated northeast, had some relief from long-term drought in the past month, just weeks after the same map showed abnormally dry or drought conditions plaguing the entire state. Officials from Denver Water said storage levels for reservoirs fed largely by the South Platte and Fraser River basins are near normal, at 80% capacity compared to the typical 82%. However, 75% of the state remains in drought and western Colorado is experiencing the worst of it, said Becky Bolinger, assistant state climatologist at Colorado State University. The western half of the state didn’t get the snowpack it needed to in colder months, and likely won’t make up those deficits in summer monsoons. Coupled with a high melt rate over dry soils that must be
hydrated before water can make its way to bodies of water, that means not enough water makes it downhill to reservoirs. “It peaked too early, it peaked too low, and nothing has been really slowing that melt rate,” Bolinger said. “So those areas are likely to completely be melted out of snowpack before early June.” “It’s going to be a rough summer, I believe, for a lot of farmers and ranchers on the West Slope.” Much of the northeastern portion of the state is greening up this spring in just the way farmers and ranchers look for. Some of the northeast and central regions beyond Denver, where everything from sugar beets and wheat to cattle and hay fodder are raised, enjoyed the same weekly rains and September to May snows as the Front Range. “May is largely turning out the way we would expect for northeastern Colorado,” Bolinger said. “That is climatologically our wettest month of the year.” Bolinger said that the big precipitation on the Front Range is slowly helping the region climb out of a Front Range drought lasting since at least last summer, with “good, consistent shots of moisture in March and April and into May” that are expected to continue. “For two-thirds, three-quarters of the population of the state, what they see outside the window is promising, is good,” said Bianchi.

Some rural areas already saw mask rules loosen BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
As of April 3, the mask order’s requirements loosened for counties in what was known as “level green” on the state’s now-retired “dial” of COVID-19 restrictions, which included many of Colorado’s rural areas. The state’s color-coded dial was the set of restrictions counties had to follow based on the local spread of the virus. The system affected

mask-wearing requirement to “guidance.” That means for those not vaccinated yet, state officials suggest — “not order, but suggest,” Polis said — that they continue to wear a mask in indoor settings around others. In some specific settings, Colorado will still require masks unless
capacity at restaurants, other businesses, indoor and outdoor events, and other settings. Among the dial’s six levels, green was the least restrictive. Purple, the most restrictive level, was essentially a stay-at-home order. As of April 3, in counties in blue, yellow, orange, red and purple, masks were to be worn in public indoor settings where 10 or more unvaccinated individuals or “individuals of unknown vaccination status”
were present, the fact sheet on the modified order said. Effectively, the section about unvaccinated Coloradans didn’t change much for most businesses because businesses or facilities “should err on the side of assuming that people entering their indoor site are unvaccinated,” the fact sheet said, citing a number of “1 in 6 Coloradans fully vaccinated” at the time. The larger change at the time
was that the list of spaces where masks were required in level green then only included settings such as schools, child care centers, health care settings, “congregate care facilities” including nursing facilities, prisons and jails, and some others. That list appears to at least somewhat mirror the list of settings, announced by Gov. Jared Polis May 14, where unvaccinated Coloradans must still wear masks in general.
people can prove they are vaccinated. Those include prisons and jails, health care facilities, and schools, Polis said. Many local governments had opted out of Tri-County’s mask order, including but not limited to Castle Pines, Castle Rock, Parker, Douglas County areas outside of municipalities (unincorporated areas), and unincorporated areas in Arapahoe County east of Watkins Road all the way to the eastern county line, generally east of Aurora.

Talk about a choice of schools Eleven schools accept ERA student BY CHRISTIAN CHACON
Walker Bargmann worked hard for his passion in academics, and it started early. When he was in the fifth grade, he saw Harvard Law in the film “Legally Blonde” and, according to Bargmann’s interview on Dan Caplis’ radio show, “saw how magnanimous and amazing it was and the kind of education an Institution like Harvard had to offer.” Although Harvard was not the institution for him, he said in the interview that he knew he wanted to go to the Ivy League bin. The work paid off. Bargmann received 11 acceptance letters -- the Colorado School of Mines, Duke University, Georgetown University, Pomona College, University of California-Berkeley, University of California Los Angeles and the University of Southern California – plus four Ivy League schools, Dartmouth College, Princeton University, University of Pennsylvania and Yale University. He chose Yale. “If you want to get into these schools,” he said, “you’re going to have to give it 110 percent. But in the end, if you are honored with an acceptance letter from one of these institutions, it will be a chance of a lifetime.” Bargmann graduated as the vale-

dictorian of Eagle Ridge Academy with a 4.27 grade-point average. He carried a 4.0 GPA all four years of high school. He was also in the 98 percentile in his SAT score for college/university; some students did not have to submit their SAT/ACT scores this year due to COVID. Bargmann received two scholarships, The United Power Book Scholar ($1,000) and the Brighton Employee Charities Scholar ($1,000). He is also a finalist for the Law School Yes We Can fellowship, a four-year undergraduate law men-
toring program. He sits on two state boards, he has a letter of recognition from Sen. Kevin Priola and an associate of science degree from Front Range Community College (Bargmann graduated summa cum laude.) Bargmann’s family has largely been his driving force. “I witnessed my family battle illnesses (including one involving his brother) while trying to make sure food was still on the table. But my family wasn’t alone. I met countless kids with families struggling against adversities that procured for frivolous reasons,” he said. “My family shouldn’t have had to worry about finances while our loved ones were healing, but we did. I found that the only real way to address these problems was through legislation, and my experience motivated me to become civically engaged and find my why for wanting to be a lawmaker.” His brother, Austin, who is a doctoral candidate at the University of Colorado-Boulder and who also teaches and does research there, was diagnosed with a rare disease. And according to a local magazine, the treatment was so expensive his parents were told they could treat their son or feed the family. He definitely thinks law school is the next step of his life. “I want to work in government,” he said. “I want to study law so I can change the law. I specifically would like to work with public policy that
directly benefits struggling Americans, whether that is as a member of Congress or with local government.” Grades There were challenges and rewards for Walker in getting a highgrade point average and becoming valedictorian. “Getting a high GPA comes with a lot of hard work—and I mean a lot,” he said. “In my case, I didn’t just take easy classes to fluff my GPA. I took advanced math and science courses, content-heavy history classes, intense writing workshops and more. Coming from a high school with some especially competitive and intelligent students, it made me push myself even more because the students around me inspired me to grow. At the end, graduating top of my class is something I can remember forever.” Bargmann also has advice for students in academia. “Don’t be afraid to take difficult courses. Taking them in high school now will allow you to further your academic development in those areas in college when the content is even more difficult and fasterpaced,” he said. “Some students often think taking an easier science elective and getting an A looks better than struggling through a difficult course, such as physics, and getting a B. However, getting a B in an advanced physics course is no easy task, and that perseverance shows through on your transcript.”

Riverdale Ridge Graduation honorees BY STEVE SMITH SSMITH@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
The Brighton Blade annually publishes a graduation edition of the paper where to feature profiles of the graduating valedictorian and salutatorian. Valedictorian Name: Michael Pineiro Are you a lifelong Brighton or Commerce City resident? If not, how long have you lived in the Brighton/Commerce City area? I’ve lived in Brighton since the ripe old age of four but have always been a resident of the Denver metro area. High School accomplishments/ honors: -Valedictorian graduate with a cumulative GPA of 4.56 (weighted) or 4.00 (unweighted). - Outstanding work ethic in biomedical pathway (2019); outstanding work ethic in social studies (2019); most outstanding student, mathematics (2021); outstanding distance runner (2019); “The Way of the Raven: Purpose” (2020); student of the year for senior social studies. Extracurricular/volunteer work that is important to you: National Honor Society was perhaps the most important extracurricular that I committed to in high school. As the inaugural NHS chapter, as well as the elected president, creating a substantial foundation for the many incoming classes to come proved fruitful. Not only did we dedicate time towards building something from the ground up, but we also took time to volunteer at many different community events. My favorite was the 2019 Fall Festival at Barr Lake, where our NHS chapter helped people safely board and dismount the hayride. I also have a deep love for cross country. The relationships that I built with my coach and my teammates are relationships that I expect to be upheld for a lifetime to come. My love is for more than the exhilarating competition and self-improvement, but for the amazing camaraderie that we have for each other. Parents and where they are from: Both of my parents are from the south side of Chicago. They had to fight hard to be where they are today. Their hard work and opportunities they gave me is a blessing that I will never take for granted. Growing up, they never had a sense of security, so I am endlessly grateful for their selflessness to foster an environment where I can dedicate myself to school. Any additional information about yourself we should know: I am attending Colorado School of Mines for a bachelor’s degree in computer science. I hope to work at Google one day. Throughout high school I worked three to four days a week at AMC Brighton 12. During the last year, I started working at Men’s Wearhouse, holding both jobs. In middle school, I was never a particularly strong student but decided to turn things around in high school. You only have one shot at a free education.

Salutatorian Name: Dea Jaf Are you a lifelong Brighton or Commerce City resident? If not, how long have you lived in the Brighton/Commerce City area? I am not a lifelong resident, but I have resided in the area for 7 years now. High School accomplishments/ honors: Mayoral recognition (freshman year); high honors (ninth,10th and 11th grade); president of HOSA RRHS (2020-2021); captains of juniorvarsity soccer; captain of volleyball C team; Kindness Club RRHS; Thornton Explorer (Thornton Police Department); student of the year for senior social studies Extracurricular/Volunteer work that is important to you: Animal shelter, 30 hours. Being an animal shelter volunteer was good for my emotional, physical, and mental health. Spending time with animals helped lower my stress levels. It would also keep me active, especially because I would walk dogs. I did this for two months over the summer, whenever I had the chance which would be usually Monday or Tuesdays for four hours. Senior Center, 128 hours. In order to create effective activities and programs for their residents, senior centers near me rely on strongly on volunteers. I would give my time, skillset and capabilities to every dimension of life as a volunteer. It was also incredible to sit down and chat with a resident! It was also part of what I did to organize, coordinate and facilitate raising funds, everyday activities and special occasions. I just now finished this because COVID put a stop to this opportunity. I
did this for four hours every Saturday and Sunday for four months. Tutoring school-aged children, 165 hours. I tutor children ages 6-10 free of charge every Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday evening for three hours since the start of my senior year! Hospital volunteer, 48 hours. I was admitted into a program called “St. Anthony North Campus Discovery Program” during my second year of high school, 10th grade. The group of students chosen to join this program would go every Friday from 3 p.m. to 9 p.m. The hiring interview process took time, but in the end, it ended up worth it. My ultimate purpose is to make both my mother and father happy and become successful, knowing that both my parents gave up everything and everyone to move to the United States. I was admitted into this hospital program; it got much more into the practice of medicine and the idea of supporting those in need. It was nothing but excitement and enthusiasm to volunteer at this hospital when shadowing doctors outside the program every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Child-care support, 70 hours. I adore children! At the daycare center, I have devoted time and resources and had the chance to make a huge impact in the lives of the kids, and they have also changed mine. The voluntary role entails hard work, but as I really enjoy engaging with kids and directing them as they develop and learn, it is fulfilling. As I support the primary caretaker, I have to perform a number of tasks. I had to keep my attention on children at all times and to help create a healthy, friendly, welcoming atmo-

sphere for this opportunity. Special scholarships you have been awarded: All the scholarships I have been awarded so far have been through the colleges I have applied to. I will be attending DU and I received most of my tuition by winning their scholarships. Parents and where they are from / Any additional information about yourself we should know: I was born in Kurdistan, a nation that has remained remarkably poor. I saw a number of sick people who couldn’t afford to get the medical treatment they required and a number of students who didn’t have the opportunity to get an education. When I was 7 years of age, my parents gave up everything they had worked for to move to the United States to provide the best quality of education for my brother and I. I have taken full advantage of every opportunity from the first day we stepped foot into the country that I now call home, to ensure that my parents did not make the choice of leaving their lives behind for nothing. I believe that understanding what you love to do is incredibly important, as it’s critical for your happiness and success in life; thus, supporting those who are in need became my passion. To help my parents feel welcome to a new community and to keep our family heritage alive, we made frequent visits back to Kurdistan and visited our families. Moving to the United States forced my parents to make many sacrifices on my behalf, which motivated me to put my education and future as my No. 1 priority.

Brighton employees charity announces scholarships BY STEVE SMITH SSMITH@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
The City of Brighton Employee Charities chose four recipients for scholarships this year. Each received $1,000 toward college expenses. The scholarships based on a high emphasis of community service and academics. according to a statement. This year’s recipients are Claire Asmussen, Walker Bargmann, Elena Marraudino and Ashley Settergren. Asmussen, a senior from Brighton High School, plans to attend Northern Arizona University. She has been a lifeguard/swim instructor and head lifeguard at the Brighton Recreation Center. She has been in the honors chemistry programs during her high-school years, and she volunteered to tutor other up-and-coming chemists. “Community service is a good and noble deed. Volunteering means growth, kindness, helpfulness, humility and fun,” she said in her essay. “It means setting out with the intention of helping others.” Bargmann, a senior from Eagle Ridge Academy, will attend Yale in the fall. Walker is part of the student council, National Honor Society, Interact Club, drama club and Improv Team. He has been involved with youth programs starting with Brighton Youth Commission, Colorado State Youth
Council and Colorado Youth Advisory Council for Senate District 25. “I began my quest for change in government and through COYAC – Colorado Youth Advisory Council, I found a community of students from across Colorado united by one cause; to address the adversities of civilians through legislation,” his nomination essay reads. “In 2020, we introduced House Bill 1021, allowing Native American youth to serve on COYAC and have a voice in state government. It was the first bill signed into law that legislative session.” Marraudino, a senior at Prairie View High School, plans to attend the University of Colorado – Denver in the fall in the biochemistry program. Elena lived in Mexico most of her elementary years while her parents worked in underprivileged communities to offer aid to povertystricken families. In her essay, Marraudino said the time volunteering at the Medical Center of Aurora was the most intellectually enriching experience. She went on to say that this community service activity helped her to delve into an environment that she had been considering as a future career. “I believe that there is an infinite number of benefits in store when an individual makes the decision to dedicate their time and skills to serve their community like I have,” her essay said. Settergren, a senior at Brighton
High School, will be attending the University of Colorado-Boulder studying elementary education. Settegren has been an integral part of the Brighton Youth Commission, a city statement said. She was elected to serve as the vice-chair of the Brighton Youth Commission. She represents the city of Brighton and the Brighton Youth Commission on the National League of Cities Conference planning team. “What once was a mere passion for volunteering has now transpired into love and dedication, not only to my community but to others
around the country,” her nomination essay said. “It has shown me that volunteering is meant to make a difference by fostering the growth and future success of the community through acts of service. Most importantly, I have learned that exhibiting positive community service is possessing the tenacity to keep striving to make an impact, and that impact can come from something as small as giving back to your community through local organizations like the Brighton Youth Commission.”

Colorado Community Media asks members of the Class of 2021 about what they have learned and their plans for the future. Their responses are diverse and inspiring. Please take time to read what they have to say. Let’s celebrate the Class of 2021 and wish them great success in the future!
Krupa Subramaniam Legacy High School Tell us a little about your high school career: Clubs, sports, activities and things you participated in during high school. I’ve been on Legacy High School’s FIRST Robotics Team for the last four years, taking on the role of president this year. As president, I promoted the club, networked with the community for corporate sponsorships, fostered an environment of creativity and collaboration, and taught foundational skills while simultaneously mentoring a FIRST Lego League team at Westlake Middle School. I’m also the President of both Legacy High School’s National Honor Society and Spanish National Honor Society, where we facilitate school-wide volunteering events, organize funds for community drives, and network with the community for volunteering opportunities, and manage school recycling. Outside of the school, I spent the majority of my junior and senior year co-creating braiNformation, an app discourages drug misuse. I’ve also been a tutor at Kumon Learning Center in Westminster for the last four years. What are your plans after graduation? I will be studying at Yale University, major-
ing in the Biomedical Engineering and History of Science, Medicine, & Public Health. What memorable moment during the pandemic instilled a key value in you? On a late night in May 2020, I was studying for an AP test with a few friends over Zoom. As we were chuckling about some corny history puns, I realized that this group of friends had evolved into something greater: a family, a community of students whom I had grown closer to despite being physically apart. In that moment, I realized the importance of having an incredible support system, not just in one’s family, but also in friends and people in the community. In an increasingly digitized, high-paced world, many interactions have started to feel more impersonal — I’ve seen this first-hand struggling the social waters of high school. Yet, this moment helped me realize the value of community, a value that I hope to epitomize in my future. What three adjectives describe your outlook going forward? Collaborative, explorative, cognizant These last four years of high school — and the pandemic, especially — have opened my
eyes to many of the plights beyond our nation. I’m emboldened to take steps to solve issues in global healthcare, bringing many currently standard medical innovations and processes to developing countries. To accomplish this, I feel that collaboration, exploration and empathetic cognizance will be crucial in finding new solutions to the world’s current problems. What do you see as your graduating class’ mission to better the world? The Class of 2021 is entering a world burdened by polarity, distrust and antagonism. Despite these overwhelming issues, I believe the Class of 2021 is poised to take them on by creating bridges of shared experiences over walls of stigmas and stereotypes. Our class has the power to bring people together in a world that’s been divided for far too long, looking beyond geopolitical lines to solve the systemic issues plaguing humanity. Through collaboration and innovation, I know our class can conquer not only the issues currently affecting humanity — systemic racism, climate change, disparities in healthcare access, and more — but also be proactive in addressing tomorrow’s problems today, leaving future generations with a world not belittled by current struggles but flourishing with promise.

Brighton High School Tell us a little about your high school career: Clubs, sports, activities and things you participated in during high school. I participated in school volleyball 9-10, club volleyball 9-11, NHS 10-12, Yearbook 11-12, honors and AP classes. What are your plans after graduation? Nursing School at the University of Northern Colorado. What memorable moment during the pandemic instilled a key value in you? A memorable moment during the pandemic was getting a CNA (certified nursing assistant) job in the middle of it. It was an eye-opening time as I had to work the frontline during the pandemic. I learned how to care for others as well as keep myself and family safe from everything going on. What three adjectives describe your outlook going forward? Enthusiastic: Going forward I am really looking forward to starting my path in life and doing everything I can in order to achieve my goals. Adventurous: this pandemic made me realize how boring my life was and I really want to start branching out more and doing things I wouldn’t normally do. Thankful: I am super thankful that I did not lose anyone that I know personally to the pandemic. I am now showing my affection towards the people I care about a lot more What do you see as your graduating class’ mission to better the world? I think my graduating class’ mission to better the world is being able to stay off of technology and really focus on hands-on work and dedication. A lot of my class is very hands-on - whether that be a trade, nursing, engineering or much more - and we are able to thank BHS for bringing those opportunities to us at an early age before we hit college and spend the extra money.
Tell us a little about your high school career: Clubs, sports, activities and things you participated in during high school. I was in track and field freshman and sophomore year, and have been in FFA for four years, two as an officer. What are your plans after graduation? To study Animal Sciences at the University of Wyoming. What memorable moment during the pandemic instilled a key value in you? The memorable moment is the last “normal” day of school. Everyone was just excited that we had an extra week of spring break, and we “would definitely return to school”. Little did we know that wasn’t the case. Our world was flipped upside down and my vision of senior year was changed. The class of 2021 was stripped of the “best year” of high
school. If this has taught me anything, it’s not to take anything for granted, and to take every detail in. There are many things I miss about “normal” class but seeing groups of people come together to find a new normal is amazing. It may have not been an ideal year, but it was still one of the best. What three adjectives describe your outlook going forward? Courageous, Ambitious and Openminded What do you see as your graduating class’ mission to better the world? To be kind. It may be a small mission, but it is difficult for some people. A small or large act of kindness could change so many things for the better. We can be the change this world needs if we start with being kind.
Alan Johnson Brighton High School Tell us a little about your high school career: Clubs, sports, activities and things you participated in during high school. I was big in band and choir; that was my safe place What are your plans after graduation? I’m planning on going to a trade school as well as going to community college after a year. What memorable moment during the pandemic instilled a key value in you? When everything ended up online you are still you and school is still school. Yes
it might be a struggle but as long as you apply yourself you will excel, even if work and life gets in the way.

scared of something bad happening to yourself. If you think positive you will go farther and achieve more What three adjectives describe your outlook going forward?

Kacie McGrady Brighton High School Tell us a little about your high school career: Clubs, sports, activities and things you participated in during high school. In all four years of high school, I participated in the symphonic band. As part of that class, I was able to be in marching band and I played in the Guys and Dolls musical my sophomore year. Before COVID hit, I was also able to be in honor band which takes high school students from all over in Colorado to play a concert together. I also played for the softball team my freshmen and sophomore year. When I was a junior I also joined DECA and got to go to state with my manual. Lastly, I did Link Crew for my junior and senior year. Outside of school during my junior and senior years I worked at JCPenney.
I realized we have to appreciate the little things in life and that there is always a way to stay connected to people. I realized that just because I couldn’t see people in person doesn’t mean that I am not able to see them at all. There is always a way to work around difficult things.
What are your plans after graduation? My plans for after graduation are to go to Wichita State University in Kansas, to study for a degree in forensic science.
What three adjectives describe your outlook going forward? The first word I would use to explain my outlook going forward is being creative. By being creative I am finding different ways to connect with people and also different ways of working around obstacles. The second word I would use is motivated, I don’t like to sit around and wait for things to happen. I stand up and I make things happen. The last word I would use is ambitious. I love to make things happen and I strive to make sure I will have a great future, I work hard in school and at work, and I’m determined to make my dreams come true.
What memorable moment during the pandemic instilled a key value in you? When COVID first struck and everything unfortunately shut down, I lost a sense of hope. I didn’t have a job to work at anymore or school to learn at and spend time with my friends. I was down in the dumps all the time. I always felt alone, that was until my sister and I figured out some ways to hang out with each other and see other. We decided to hold gaming nights on facetime with all of our family. In those moments
What do you see as your graduating class’ mission to better the world? For my graduating class’s mission to help better the world, I would say it would be to unite people as one - not just American citizens but as human beings all over the world. Instead of hating on people for having different political views, religious beliefs or any other type of belief. As humans we should come together as one and accept that people are and always will be different from ourselves.
Viviana Retana Fort Lupton High School Tell us a little about your high school career: Clubs, sports, activities and things you participated in during high school. Volleyball, DECA, FBLA, Upward Bound, FCCLA and Spanish Club are all things I have been a part of and worked hard at during my high school career. I tried something new and joined tennis my junior year, never having played. I had a lot of fun given the short time we had before the season was cancelled due to COVID-19. Many of the clubs I have been a part of allowed me to grow as a person and learn valuable skills that I use to this day. Examples include; communication, leadership, and confidence. I enjoyed meeting different people and most importantly, learning from different personalities. The community I was a part of during my four years at Fort Lupton High School, is an interesting group of people that have disappointed me many times but have also lifted me up in hard times. For that, I am grateful. What are your plans after graduation? I plan to attend Colorado State University in Fort Collins and intend to earn my bachelor’s degree. Although I am undecided to what to major in, I am very interested in studying business and fashion. What memorable moment during the pandemic instilled a key value in you? Three or so months into the pandemic, we got a dog. I was against the idea of getting a dog from the beginning because I was very stressed at the time. Caring for it and spending time with the dog were things I was not going to have time for. It’s not like the dog can decide for itself or cook its
own food. I was trying to adjust to having a dog at home. I grew to love our dog and learned that it was a good idea. Trying to keep it alive, remembering to feed it and training it are all things that have to happen. Our dog has taught me patience and accepting change. My family would have never gotten the dog if it weren’t for the pandemic. I am glad we did because somehow, I am more open minded and grateful for the experience I have had so far. What three adjectives describe your outlook going forward? Positive, challenging and new. The future I see includes many challenges and triumphs. I also see failures. I am confident in how I carry myself but tend to put myself down sometimes too. I struggle trying to look past obstacles and can sometimes be my own enemy. I honestly try not to ‘plan’ for the future because the future is not up to me. I can plan down to the minute, but once the moment comes, things may take a different turn. One thing is certain, challenges and positivity await me in the future. What do you see as your graduating class’ mission to better the world? Take care of yourself before you try to take care of others. My graduating class is full of interesting personalities that contribute to society in different ways. Which is why I think our mission is to take care of ourselves before we take care of others. It is hard to take care of other people when you yourself are not okay. That includes both mental and physical health. I hope my graduating class can do this and take care of their mental health, so they can live a happy life. Whatever that means to them.
Naydelin Gutierrez Chavez Fort Lupton High School Tell us a little about your high school career: Clubs, sports, activities and things you participated in during high school. I participated in girls’ soccer all four years and I made many connections with amazing women. I also helped many clubs set up for events we have had at the high school and helped clean up after. What are your plans after graduation? My plan after graduation is to attend Colorado State University and study Construction Management.
What memorable moment during the pandemic instilled a key value in you? The pandemic taught me the beauty of stillness. We are made to believe that the more we do and go and move, the more productive we are. The pandemic proved that’s not always the case. Just because you are always moving doesn’t mean you are moving your life in a creative and positive direction. As well, having the time to stay at home with loved ones has been a silver lining to the pandemic. It helped me to learn that you can’t put a price on spending time with family and friends, so the pandemics has
taught us all not to take that for granted. What three adjectives describe your outlook going forward? Three adjectives to describe my outlook going forward would be ambitious, compassionate, and resourceful. What do you see as your graduating class’ mission to better the world? I see our graduating class’s mission to better the world by starting where it at all began: Fort Lupton High school, which strives to meet the social, emotional, and cognitive needs of all students to prepare them to be productive members of a diverse and ever-changing society.

Taste of Colorado moving to new locations Festival will span all of downtown during Labor Day weekend BY MAGGIE DONAHUE DENVERITE
For years, every Labor Day weekend, A Taste of Colorado brought dozens of booths to Civic Center Park, serving up food from local Colorado restaurants. The free event brought hundreds of thousands of visitors to enjoy live music and art and to sample some of the best food the state has to offer. Last year, the pandemic forced orga-
nizers to cancel the festival, marking the first time in almost 40 years that it didn’t operate. Now, Taste is returning, though it will look a bit different from festivals past. The Downtown Denver Partnership announced that Taste will return to Denver over Labor Day weekend, but this year’s version will be held downtown, where it will host attractions, events and food tastings out of restaurants and venues scattered around the area. “Taste of Colorado is a well-loved tradition that spans generations,” said Sharon Alton, vice president of downtown experience at the Downtown Denver Partnership. “We’re proud to bring Taste back as we emerge from

the pandemic, this year in a new format that will be a true celebration of our city’s culture and everything that our city’s artists, musicians, and restaurateurs have to offer. Never has it been more important to highlight all things local, and we can’t wait to do just that alongside our community over Labor Day weekend.” This year, featured food will be exclusively sourced from local, independent Colorado restaurants. Food trucks will populate the area on Lawrence Street between 15th and 17th streets, while booth and tent vendors will operate in Skyline Park, where the Skyline Beer Garden and Southwest Rink have been held. Participating downtown restaurants can operate out of their own
locations and won’t have to pay a fee to participate. Each restaurant will offer at least two highlighted Taste items in the form of tiny samples. Downtown Denver Partnerships will announce a full lineup of attractions in the coming months. In the meantime, local artists and musicians can apply to participate. A Taste of Colorado dates • Sept. 4: 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. • Sept. 5: 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. • Sept. 6: 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. This story is from Denverite, a nonprofit Denver news source affiliated with CPR News.

DRCOG prescribes Nymbl at-home balance training 5,000 adults 60+ offered free access to fall prevention program BY RYAN DUNN RDUNN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
On May 3, the Denver Regional Council of Governments announced a partnership with Nymbl Science, the makers of a fall prevention app for older adults, that will offer free enrollment in the app’s balance training program for 5,000 adults aged 60 and up in 10 nearby counties. Older adults in Adams, Arapahoe, Boulder, Clear Creek, Douglas, Gilpin and Jefferson counties, the City and County of Denver, the City and County of Broomfield and southwest Weld County can enroll in the program free of charge through June 30 by downloading the Nymbl app or visiting co.fallsfree.com. Nymbl already has a partnership with the Arvada Fire Protection District, which reported a 35% decrease in fall-related EMS calls in Nymbl participants in 2020, a year that saw the Coronavirus pandemic increase isolation and inactivity, resulting in a 30-50% increase in fall rates among older adults in Colorado, according to Nymbl Public Relations Consultant Sari Winston. Jayla Sanchez-Warren, director for DRCOG’s Area Agency on Aging, said that Nymbl helps reduce the risk of falling for older adults who
are hoping to increase their mobility as the COVID-19 pandemic winds down. “The risk of falling for older adults in Colorado is a serious public health threat post-pandemic Estrada as Americans venture out again, in some cases for the first time after months of inactivity,” said Warren. “That’s why we’re excited to partner with Nymbl to provide free at-home balance training aimed at helping our older adult community feel strong, confident and empowered to leave home without the fear of falling.” “The Nymbl app is easy to use and fun,” Warren continued, “and has demonstrated really great results, in many cases improving balance by roughly 30%. This can make a huge difference in the lives of aging Coloradans.” Dr. Nathan Estrada, Nymbl’s vice president of clinical, was a physical therapist before joining the Nymbl team. He said he took the position with Nymbl because he believed it offered older adults a better option for balance training than traditional methods. “My research interest was based on ‘Why do we need to keep seeing the same older adults over and over again?’” said Estrada. “You see

them decline and it felt like we were just monetizing older adults — we weren’t helping their help or wellness; we were just recycling them.” “So, I started looking into older age engagement and what the industry was missing on the clinical side,” Estrada continued, “and it really came down to the key finding for me that it was not about me as a clinician and I had to get over my own arrogance as this paternalistic view of all the things we should do.” Estrada began asking patients more targeted questions such as
COURTESY OF NYMBL
“What are your goals?” “Do you know why I’m here?” and “What do you want to achieve?” “I asked a really funny question,” Estrada said, “‘Do you want to exercise?’ And 40% of my clients said no. What I found was, if you start with things that people don’t want to do, your outcomes are always going to be temporary. And then I was pitched by Nymbl and we just went `Instead of asking people to do balance training, what if we just gave them a fun game that happened to improve their balance?’”

Polis signs $34 billion state budget into law Plan sets aside historic reserves BY JESSE PAUL THE COLORADO SUN
Gov. Jared Polis signed Colorado’s $34.1 billion fiscal year 2021-22 budget into law on May 17, restoring cuts made as the coronavirus crisis descended on the state last year while also saving a historic amount for future economic downturns. The Joint Budget Committee, the Legislature’s budget-writing panel, had to contend with constantly changing tax-revenue projections that were made uncertain by the pandemic. “This is the culmination of a yearlong process — and it’s always hard. But this is the hardest it’s ever been because of the changing numbers,” Polis said just before signing Senate Bill 205 at the Capitol. The budget takes effect in July, when the next fiscal year begins. It sets aside more than $1.5 billion for Colorado’s reserve fund that can be tapped by future Legislatures. It also includes 3% raises for state employees, $480 million to reduce Colo-
rado’s annual K-12 school funding shortfall and a $20 million line item to create hundreds of new aroundthe-clock care slots for people with developmental disabilities. Also in the budget is $800 million for a state coronavirus stimulus package, the largest slice of which is being dedicated to infrastructure projects. Bills that are part of the package were still being debated in the Legislature. The governor called the budget “an investment in our children, an investment in our future.” State Sen. Dominick Moreno, a Commerce City Democrat who leads the Joint Budget Committee, marveled at the difference a year has made in the state’s budget situation. His panel went from having to make tearful cuts to having enough money to pay for new programs and initiatives. “There is so much good in this budget that will help Colorado recover,” Moreno said. State Rep. Julie McCluskie, a Dillon Democrat who is vice chair of the panel, highlighted spending in the budget around wildfire preparedness and response. “We are going to make sure that

we are ready for this year’s wildfire season,” she said. State lawmakers had far more money to spend next year than expected because the pandemic’s toll on Colorado’s economy wasn’t as bad as the state’s fiscal analysts feared. The budget represents $3.8 billion more in spending over the current fiscal year. Much of the windfall represents unspent tax revenue, not future revenue. As the budget was debated in the Legislature, lawmakers made a number of changes to the document first drafted by the Joint Budget Committee. The ones that made it into the final version include: • $1 million more for body camera expenses for local law enforcement agencies, bringing the total to $4 million • $1 million for the School Bullying Prevention and Education Cash Fund • $250,000 for the Suicide Prevention Program • $1.1 million in general fund dollars for reintroduction of gray wolves • $125,000 to hire a chief educational equity officer in the Colorado Department of Human Services The changes resulted in a smaller
amount — 13.41% of the budget instead of 13.5% — being set aside in the reserve fund. The Joint Budget Committee initially wanted $1.75 billion to be put in the savings account, but that number was reduced to about $1.5 billion to balance out the changes requested by other lawmakers. The budget does not include $3.8 billion in federal coronavirus stimulus money heading to Colorado as part of the American Rescue Plan. That money will be distributed by the Legislature separately. Lawmakers and nonpartisan staff are still working to determine the rules around how that money can be used. Sen. Bob Rankin, one of two Republicans on the budget committee, praised Moreno for how he ran the budget process. But he noted that the panel’s work isn’t done. “The task ahead of us is almost as hard,” said Rankin, who lives in Carbondale. “We literally have $4 billion (to determine how to spend). So the work is not over.” This story is from The Colorado Sun, a journalist-owned news outlet based in Denver and covering the state. Used by permission.
