Plans for afforable housing in Brighton About 160 units going up BY BELEN WARD BWARD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
An affordable housing project that calls for 160 units of new housing is in the works for Brighton, in collaboration with Adams Points Redevelopment Project and the Brighton Housing Authority. The property is on vacant land at 19th Avenue and Bridge Street that Adams County-owned, according to the press release by Adams County and Brighton Housing Authority. “As someone who has struggled with housing in my past, it’s
incredibly important to me to expand the affordable housing options in Adams County,” said Eva J. Henry, chairperson of the Adams County Board of commissioners. “This partnership with Brighton Housing Authority is a win-win for all involved, especially those residents in need of quality and affordable housing.” There are several affordable housing properties in Brighton that are managed or owned by BHA or with a partnership. “The affordable housing project mentioned in the recent press release is in the early stages of feasibility. The number and type of units may vary based on the demand and project scope, which is not fully determined,” said

Culex mosquitoes have tested positive for West Nile in Weld County in areas of Greeley, Evans, Kersey, and Lasalle, according to the Weld County Department of Health and Environment. “The increasing hot weather and afternoon thundershowers have created favorable conditions for the Culex mosquito that carries West Nile Virus,” Mark Lawley, executive Director of the Weld County Health Department said in a written statement. According to officials, three times more Culex mosquitoes have been trapped in 2021 than in previous years, based on an analysis of five years worth of testing. In Weld County Zone 2, which includes Johnstown, Milliken, Platteville, and Zone 3 (Firestone, Dacono and Fort Lupton) the mosquitoes that were trapped weekly by a health department contractor did not test positive for West Nile. It’s a situation that is being monitored by officials; no human cases have been reported in Weld County as of late last week. The city of Fort Lupton has its own program. It contracts with VDCI Integrated Mosquito Management to test trapped mosquitoes from June through mid-September. The spraying is every Thursday from dusk to dawn. “We get weekly trap data from them as part of their Integrated mosquito management program. Their program includes preseason SEE WEST NILE, P9

Brighton City Council hosts its annual city barbecue from 5:30 to 8 p.m. July 22, at Carmichael Park, 650 E. Southern St. Part of the event includes the week’s Flix and Kicks series, featuring the 6 Million Dollar Band, featuring 1980s dance hits. Residents can meet council members, share questions and concerns and learn about new and ongoing projects. Residents should bring picnic blankets, lawn chairs, sunscreen, bug repellent and drinking water.

The budding businessmen and women of Brighton are part of the Growing Grads new Young Entrepreneur Program, which teaches young entrepreneurs the different aspects of building and growing a business according to a city statement. The young entrepreneurs will have a booth at the City Barbeque, with goods available for purchase ranging from jewelry to beanies.

Redistricting commissions schedule public hearings Gatherings are chance to comment on proposed congressional and statehouse districts BY THY VO AND SANDRA FISH THE COLORADO SUN
Coloradans have a chance to have their voices heard on proposals for redrawn congressional and legislative districts at a total of 32 meetings around the state through the end of August. The gatherings are the public’s opportunity to address both the Independent Congressional Redistricting Commission and Independent Legislative Redistricting Commission, which will convene jointly at each meeting. The Colorado Sun examined the initial congressional and legislative maps offered by nonpartisan legislative staff and comments submitted online by the public — most of which came before the preliminary maps were issued — from different corners of the state to get an idea of what concerns the commissioners might hear. More attention — and public comments — have been directed toward remapping the congressional districts as Colorado is slated to get a new, eighth seat in the U.S. House. But the impact on state Senate and House seats could also be big, with control of the state Legislature — currently dominated by Democrats — at stake. The commission will hold hearings in the Denver metro area on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings and in other parts of the state on Fridays and Saturdays. Most of the members of each 12-member commission will attend the hearings in person, though some will attend virtually. Typically, meetings will be chaired by a commission member from the congressional district in which they are held. The venue for some meetings, especially those scheduled for August, aren’t yet finalized. View the redistricting commissions’ official calendar at redistricting.colorado.gov for the most up-to-date information. Half of the state’s eight congressional districts would encompass all or part of the Denver metro area under the proposal from nonpartisan staff. And a significant number of state House and Senate districts are also in the area.

REDISTRICTING HEARINGS Hearings on proposals to reset the boundaries of Colorado’s congressional and legislative districts are underway across the state. Here are upcoming hearings in the Metro North Front Range region. For updates on meeting locations and details on redistricting plans, visit redistricting.colorado.gov. Denver — Tuesday, July 27, time and location to be announced. Commerce City — Tuesday, Aug. 24, 7 p.m., Eagle Pointe Recreation Center, Colorado, Yampa, and Gunnison Rooms, 6060 E. Parkway Drive Brighton — Wednesday, Aug. 25, time and location to be announced. Ten of the commissions’ public hearings will be held in Denver metro communities, all on Tuesday or Wednesday evenings through Aug. 24. More than 100 commenters from Lakewood already have chimed in, with most asking that Lakewood, which is in Jefferson County, be kept separate from Douglas County. The two are drawn together in the proposed 7th Congressional District. Meanwhile, the proposed map places the new 8th Congressional District in the area northwest and north of Denver, including the cities of Arvada, Westminster, Broomfield, Thornton, Brighton and Platteville. The map resembles one recommended by the Colorado Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, though it doesn’t stretch as far into Weld County as that group suggested. Legislative districts are likely to be a focus of the hearings, too. Three proposed metro-area Senate districts and five House districts would place incumbents in the same district. Public comments sent to the commissioners asked them to consider: • Black, Hispanic and minority communities, whose populations have shifted from central Denver to Aurora, Commerce City and other suburban Denver areas. • The impact of affordable housing and the interests of renters. • Oddly-drawn district lines in the proposed legislative maps, including splitting the dorms of the University of Denver between two state House districts. The Interstate 25 corridor north from Denver saw some of the state’s most explosive growth between 2010 and 2020, as subdivisions popped up on former agricultural land. That’s part of the reason the new 8th Congressional District was drawn in

this area. The first draft also would shrink the 2nd Congressional District, still including the college towns of Boulder and Fort Collins, but no longer reaching across the Continental Divide into Eagle County. The 4th District would include the northern and eastern parts of Weld County under the proposal, before stretching out to the Eastern Plains and south. Residents of western Boulder County are upset at potentially being moved into the 3rd Congressional District under the proposed map. The 3rd District has been a Republican stronghold and it’s currently represented by U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert. Some 20 people submitted nearly identical comments to the commission objecting to the proposed change, which includes placing all of Summit and Eagle counties in the 3rd District. Other comments received by the commissions thus far include: • Concerns about Longmont’s grouping with Weld, Douglas and
Eastern Plains counties in the current congressional map, rather than with Boulder. • Urging a congressional district be drawn along the northern I-25 corridor, including to keep Larimer and Weld counties together and separate from the Eastern Plains. Others, however, want to keep Larimer and Weld separate from each other. • How rapid population growth and development in Greeley has given it more in common with metro Denver than with Fort Morgan, Sterling and Yuma. • How a significant Hispanic population in Greeley could be grouped with those in Longmont, Brighton and Commerce City.

Westminster eight grader wins ‘I Voted’ design sticker contest BY BELEN WARD BWARD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
For the Fernandez family of Westminster, coming up with designs that symbolize voting runs in the family. Jade Fernandez, a Silver Hills Middle Schooler, designed the winning Adams County Clerks and Recorder “I Voted” sticker, featuring the Adams County logo, a bald eagle, and a flag that will be used in the 2021 and 2022 elections, according to a Weld County press release. Fernandez comes from a family of artists. Her sister Lana won the 2019 sticker contest that was used in the 2020 general election. “One of the first things I think of when it comes to America is the national bird, the bald eagle, and the flag. The colors of those elements contrast and complement each
other nicely, especially the hues of blood-red in the stripes of the flag which represent the sacrifices of the country’s founders and forefathers,” Jade said. The Adams County Clerks and Recorders office held an “I Voted” design sticker contest. Three submissions were received with a final vote by Adams County residents, employees and Fernandez was selected as the winner. “We are fortunate to have talented and creative youth in Adams County,” says Josh Zygielbaum, Adams County Clerk & Recorder. “Our residents love seeing the unique sticker designs in each election, and we plan to continue hosting the sticker design contests.” This year Fernandez completed eighth grade at Silver Hills Middle School and this fall she will be enrolled at Peak to Peak Charter

School. She won the grand prize of a social media shout-out, a $200 gift card and residents that vote in the 2021 and 2022 elections will be wearing her design sticker. In the new Spanish “I Voted”
category no designs were received but later this year another contest will be held for students and adults to enter. Also, if numerous designs are received they will be used for the 2022 elections.

Mistrial in Webster murder case STAFF REPORT
BRIGHTON — An Adams County Court judge declared a mistrial in the case of Jeremy Webster. Webster is accused of killing a 13-year-old boy during an alleged road-rage incident in June 2018. The

incident, which also injured the boy’s mother, his younger brother and a bystander, was at a Westminster dentist’s office. Chris Hopper, the spokesman for the 17th
Missing person’s death termed ‘suspicious’ STAFF REPORT
FIRESTONE — Brighton police and Weld County sheriff’s deputies are investigating what they are calling a “suspicious death.” The body of 33-year-old Ryan Coburn was discovered near Weld County roads 20 and 19, east of Firestone, according to the sheriff’s department. A press release said Brighton police took a missing person’s report about Coburn
June 23. His family saw him last June 19. Joe Moylan, a spokesman for the Weld County Sheriff’s Office, said no cause of death has been determined. Authorities would like information about Coburn’s activities in the days leading up to his death and/or circumstances surrounding his death. Those with information should call Detective Jared Patterson at 970-400-5374.

larvicide treatments, weekly trap collection counts and weekly spraying in areas when the counts warrant,” said Roy Vestal, director, Fort Lupton Pubic Works. “The public needs to be vigilant because West Nile Virus have a permanent summer presence in Colorado,” Lawley said. When an infected Culex mosquito bites, West Nile symptoms can appear within three to 14 days. Most people do not exhibit symptoms but could experience fever, headache, nausea, vomiting muscle aches, weakness and rashes and should seek medical attention immediately. Less than 1 percent of infections develop a neuroinvasive illness that attacks the nervous system which could be fatal, according to the health department.
The health department recommends the four “D” to prevent bites: * Drain weekly standing water around the house such as tires, cans flowerpots, clogged rain gutters, rain barrels, toys, and puddles; * Dusk and Dawn: Mosquitoes are swarming; when outside take safety measures to prevent mosquitoes’ bites; * DEET products are effective insect repellents or other products that contain picaridin, IR3535, lemon eucalyptus oil, and paramentane-diol; and * Dress in long sleeves, pants, and a hat.

Judicial District Attorney’s Office, said an emergency medical issue prevented a prosecution witness from coming to Colorado to testify in person at the trial. Hopper called the witness “necessary and indispensable” to the prosecution’s case. Hopper said that the jury selection
process was still ongoing and jurors for trial had not yet been seated. The judge, Priscilla Loew, reset the proceedings to Oct. 25. Webster is charged with a total 22 counts, including murder with extreme indifference and assault with extreme indifference.
Internet service discount available for those in need FCC offers Emergency Broadband Benefit Program BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
A strong, reliable internet signal may be more important than ever amid the coronavirus pandemic, but internet service isn’t a sure thing for every household. The federal agency that regulates communication by radio, television, satellite and cable is offering a program that provides a temporary discount on monthly internet bills for low-income households that qualify. Here’s information about how to sign up for the program. Emergency Broadband Benefit The Federal Communications Commission, or FCC, offers the Emergency Broadband Benefit Program — a discount on monthly internet bills. If your household is eligible, you can receive: • Up to a $50 per month discount on your broadband service and associated equipment rentals; • Up to a $75 per month discount if your household is on qualifying tribal lands; • A one-time discount of up to $100 for a laptop, tablet or desktop computer (with a co-payment of more than $10 but less than $50). Only one monthly service discount and one device discount are allowed per household, according to the website for the FCC’s program. The program will end when the fund runs out of money, or six months after the federal Department of Health and Human Services declares an end to the COVID-19 health emergency, whichever is sooner. The FCC anticipates that Emergency Broadband Benefit funds will be available for several months, said Paloma Perez, a spokesperson for the FCC. Who qualifies? A household qualifies for the Emergency Broadband Benefit
if it has an income at or below 135% of the federal poverty guidelines — that’s $35,775 or below for a family of four; see the chart at tinyurl.com/FederalPovertyLevelChart — or if any member of the household: • Qualifies for Lifeline benefits through participation in SNAP (food assistance), Medicaid, Supplemental Security Income, federal public housing assistance, or Veterans and Survivors Pension Benefit; • Participates in one of several tribal-specific programs, including Bureau of Indian Affairs General Assistance, tribal Head Start (only households meeting the relevant income qualifying standard), Tribal Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (Tribal TANF) or the Food Distribution Program on Indian Reservations; • Experienced a substantial loss of income since Feb. 29, 2020, due to job loss or furlough and had a total household income in 2020 at or below $99,000 for single filers and $198,000 for joint filers; • Received a federal Pell Grant in the current award year; • Received approval for benefits under the free and reducedprice school lunch program or the school breakfast program, including through the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Community Eligibility Provision, in the 2019-20 or 2020-21 school years; or • Meets the eligibility criteria for a participating broadband provider’s existing low-income or COVID-19 program, and that provider received FCC approval for its eligibility verification process. Program rules acknowledge there may be more than one eligible household residing at the same address, the program’s website says. Any member of your household can make the household eligible. For example, if your child or dependent participates in the free and reduced-price school lunch program, your household qualifies.

Loveland-based horse program offers unique program for kids, vets and others BY BELEN WARD BWARD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
H
orseback riding offers a great way to get fresh air and exercise for some folks. Others love it because they love the animals themselves. But Noah Montgomery and Simon Glasser come to Loveland’s Hearts and Horses as a regular part of their therapy. Riding horses, caregivers say, helps them physically and helps improve their quality of life. Montgomery is 6 years old with cerebral palsy ataxia and has been riding since he was 3. Glasser is 5, diagnosed with a disease called Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, who has been riding since preschool. Ashley Montgomery, Noah’s mom, said it’s something he looks forward to. “He loves riding Xellie and is probably one of the highlights of his week. It’s awesome they have a program for people like Noah.” Justine Mathis, who babysits for Glasser, agreed. “This program makes him feel good and helps with some of the strain,” she said. Hearts and Horses is a therapeutic riding facility established in 1997. It was founded by a group of volunteers who were working at a previous therapeutic riding center after it closed. “A group of volunteers got together and decided there’s still a need for this and got something started. We were founded and ran by volunteers for many years, and it’s a nonprofit registered 501(c)(3),” said Summer Alameel, development and communications manager of Hearts and Horses. Hearts and Horses helps an estimated 1,000 participants per year. With a quarter of a century of experience with special needs riders, the center provides a special kind of therapy for people from ages 3 to 99. “The services we provide for are for post-traumatic stress disorder, cerebral palsy, autism, and dementia. The participates are paired with horses in a structured therapeutic setting,” said Alameel. Ground-breaking research Alameel pointed to the Man O’ War Project at Columbia University’s Irving Medical Center, the first university-led research trial to establish guidelines for the application of equine-assisted therapy, or EAT, for treating veterans with PTSD and to examine the effectiveness of the new treatment for veterans. Hearts and Horses is part of that trial and Alameel said that veter-

ans in Northern Colorado can gain access to this unique treatment option at no cost by working with Hearts & Horses in Loveland. “This groundbreaking research project will provide the first clinical evidence of the effectiveness of (equine-assisted therapy for post-traumatic stress disorder) for treating veterans who suffer from PTSD,” Alameel said. Therapy trainer Rachel Karneffel has been teaching therapeutic riding for 20 years and has been with Hearts and Horses for more than six. She is certified with the International Professional Association of Therapeutic Horsemanship. “Therapeutic riding or adaptive riding has been something that people have known for a very long time that works,” Karneffel said. “We are doing autism studies here with our research at Colorado State University at the Temple Grandin Equine Center,” Karneffel said. “It proves what we already know, which is that horses are incredibly healing.” Karneffel said the one therapeutic feature about horses is how their body moves with their rider’s body, much like walking. That steady, swaying movement of the horse comes from all angles and directions. How that movement differs between horses makes them better for certain riders and more useful for certain therapies. “We try to match riders with a horse that has the movement closest to what they need, as well as the temperament,” she said. Simon Glasser, the boy with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, has some muscle weakness. The way the horses moved hurt his legs at first, making just sitting on the horse difficult. Eventually, how-
ever, it helped him. “The movement of the horse from side to side is moving his core to keep balanced, and moving his legs in a way that is similar to how he would be moving naturally,” said Karneffel. Something incredible Hearts and Horses has one of the largest volunteer programs in Larimer County. Their numbers may have declined a bit due in 2020 due to COVID, but the group continued to have more than 200 active volunteers throughout the year. In any given year it could go up from 700 to 1,000 people in a year to volunteer at any given time. David Erbeck is a Hearts and Horses volunteer and a retired firefighter for nearly 30 years. “It’s the greatest thing I’ve ever done. I got to be a part of something incredible, such as saving lives and rescues. I never cried in 30 years as a firefighter. It brings tears to my eyes — we’re saving people here and it’s amazing,” Erbeck said. There are 26 horses and a handful of them are therapy horses in training. There is extensive training involved for therapeutic riding and an animal’s temperament is key. As a therapy program, it’s important to have a horse that does not spook easily. There are other accommodations that must be made. Some of the riders are wheelchair-bound, so volunteers built a lift ramp to help riders get on and off the horse. In the outside area is a trail, called the “Trail of Discovery,” which they use for outdoor classes. It’s designed as a sensory trail for participants that have sensory issues such as autism spectrum disorder. For Montgomery, riding has
taught him the process of doing something physical while also teaching him the benefit of having patience — something necessary to ride a horse. “If you can control 1,000 -pound animals and get them to do what you want in a kind, assertive, calm, relaxed way, you can do anything in your life. The magic of our students is to take those skills and bring them outside whether it’s physical, emotional, mental, and socially,” said Karneffel. Community support Hearts and Horses receive donations from the community and also has one large annual event, the “Lucky Hearts” annual gala in October at the Embassy Suites in Loveland which also includes a casino night. “We are currently looking for sponsors, corporate sponsors, family foundations and anyone who is looking to sponsor the event,” said Alameel. “It’s our primary source of funding for the year. We also have a lot of corporate support from individual donors giving $5 a month. An average lesson is $95. Hearts and horses recognize sometimes that the riders cannot afford that so they group fundraises for every lesson, up to $60, to offset the cost. Even with a reduced fee of $35, it’s a lesson some families cannot afford. So, an additional 56% is needed in financial support for some of the riders in a form of a scholarship. “We fundraise all of the money to make sure that we never turn a rider away because they can’t pay,” said Alameel. Hearts & Horses is at 163 N. CR 29, Loveland. For more information call 970-663-4200, ext. 307 or visit www. HeartsAndHorses.org.

NEWS BRIEFS Anthem-less Fourth of July Those who attended the Fourth of July observance at Carmichael Park did not hear the national anthem this year. A Facebook post from the city of Brighton and City Manager Jane Bais DiSessa said it was “due to a change in programming. This change resulted in the national anthem not being played prior to the fireworks display,” the post said. “We understand the concerns regarding this change and appreciate all of the feedback we have received,” the post said. “Please accept our sincere apology for this program change. Be assured the national anthem will be played at future Fourth of July festivals.” One Warrior stays A new law that outlaws Native American mascots, such as Warriors, in the state’s high schools apparently won’t impact Eagle Ridge Academy’s Warriors. “My understanding is that the law is in reference to Native American mascots,” said ERA’s head of school Scott Richardson. “While ours is Warriors, it’s in reference to Greek Warriors. Our symbol is actually a Spartan soldier.” Frederick High School will have to change its mascot, as will six other schools with Warrior mascots in the state. 27J Schools spokesperson Janelle Asmus said ERA can set its own policies, board members, leadership teams and protocols because it is a charter school.

Brighton’s Bowman ends prep football career in style BY STEVE SMITH SSMITH@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
PUEBLO – It’s one thing to play in an all-star football game. It’s quite another thing to score the game’s only touchdown. Brighton’s Eli Bowman can lay claim to both of those statements after his appearance at the Colorado High School Coaches Association’s all-state football game at Colorado State University-Pueblo. Bowman’s touchdown gave his team a 7-0 win in the contest that was played just before the Fourth of July. “The whole experience was an absolute blast,” Bowman said. “I met a lot of amazing guys and had a lot of fun the whole week. The CSU-Pueblo staff did an amazing job making sure the check-in process and the dorms were comfortable.” The coaches association sponsors all-star games in football, basketball, softball, wrestling, volleyball, golf and cheer. It’s open to high-school seniors from Colorado, and school classification does not figure into the composition of the various teams. “We practiced twice a day on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday,” Bowman said. “It was probably a total of about nine or so hours of practice. We did install a few plays. It’s difficult to install any complex stuff in three days. So, we just had about 10 to 15 different offensive plays that were all pretty simple and easy to learn. “Defensively, there wasn’t too much to install,” Bowman continued. “We just had to make sure
MORE ALL-STATERS Brighton’s Eli Bowman wasn’t the only local athlete invited to play at this year’s Colorado High School Coaches Association all-state games in Pueblo. Bowman’s teammate, Zaine Hood, played in the football game. Their former coach, Jeff Giger, was one of the assistants. Brighton’s Nikki Antonopoulos, played in the girls basketball game. Her coach, Jim French, was one of the assistants. Riverdale Ridge High School’s Makenna Meyer (softball) and Cayden Mazurek (basketball) also drew invitations.

we were all on the same page with coverages and calls.” Bowman said it was “super easy” to bond with his new team. “We all just sort of clicked and it made everything a lot of fun,” Bowman said. “We made a big group chat, actually, with everyone in it so we can stay in contact and such. We’re all like brothers now.” There also was a chance for some football education along the way. “I was definitely able to pick up
some tips and knowledge from the other guys along the way,” Bowman said. “Being surrounded by 40 of the best athlete and football players in Colorado is a humbling experience, and it allowed me to watch and learn so much from them. I also was able to learn a ton from Coach (Jay) Madden (from Pomona High School), so it was an absolute honor having him as a coach.” Even though it was an all-star game, Bowman said it was the best
competition he’s had to face. “Although there was a good amount of guys who opted out of the all-state game, we still had to compete against the best that Colorado has to offer,” Bowman said. “Some of the guys, both on my team and the other team, were some of the most athletically gifted people I’ve ever seen. So being able to say that I played with/against them is a blessing.” Bowman is on his way to the South Dakota School of Mines to continue playing football and to work on his undergraduate and advanced degrees. “I think the experience definitely helped me for college next year,” Bowman said. “It made me realize I need to put on a lot more weight and muscle, but it also gave me the confidence to say that I can compete against some of the best athletes in the state and hold my own. So that’s a satisfying feeling to go into college with.”

Metro area home sales set median price record in June BY ESTEBAN L. HERNANDEZ DENVERITE
The median closing price for a home in the Denver metro area was a record $545,000 in June, according to the latest real estate market trends report from the Denver Metro Association of Realtors. The amount is a 1.49% increase from May, and a whopping 22.47% increase compared to June 2020. The report uses sales from 11 counties in the metro area, includ-
ing Adams, Arapahoe, Boulder, Broomfield, Denver and Jefferson counties. Realtor Brigette Modglin, who’s been part of the Association of Realtors’ market trends committee since 2016, said some of the reasons for the increase include more millennials looking to buy homes, buyers who want to work from home after the pandemic, and baby boomers who are also interested in buying, either by upsizing or downsizing from their current home.

She added there were some huge sales that may have skewed numbers a bit. A home in ritzy Cherry Hills Village recently sold for $1.1 million above its initial listing price tag. While Modglins said it wasn’t clear whether this sale impacted June’s number, she said this is the kind of sale that can cause sale averages to spike. She noted that this is why the median closing price is generally used more often than the average
closing price, since Modglin said the average is the sum of all home sale prices divided by the total number of sales. The median is more of the “middle” value and is more insulated from outliers like, say, a multimillion-dollar home sale. The report said the average closing price for a home in the metro area in June was $643,645. The report noted the average number of homes on the market for June is 16,098, based on figures from 1985 to 2020. The market is nowhere
