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.

Retailers bracing as Denver bag fee begins Implementation of law was delayed through 2020 BY REBECCA SPIESS DENVERITE
Since July 1, Denverites have had three options at the grocery store: bring your own reused bag, go without one… or pay 10 cents for each one. According to the city, Denver uses more than 100 million disposable bags every year, yet only 5 percent are ever recycled. The plastic bags are notoriously difficult to recycle and cannot be collected by the city in their purple recycling bins either. Paper bags are easier to recycle, but require a lot of
resources to make. So where will you see the fee? All retail stores, including grocery stores, department stores, liquor stores and hardware stores. The exceptions include businesses where retail is not the main revenue generator, like beauty salons or restaurants. Temporary vendors, like farmers markets, won’t have to charge, either; and dispensaries are exempt because their little paper bags are too small to fall into this ordinance. Retail stores will list the number of bags and the resulting charge separately on their receipts. A few more details The law was passed in 2019, but implementation was delayed because nobody wanted to ask for
even one more dime in 2020. Bags that are provided within a store don’t carry a charge. For example, you won’t be required to pay for bags containing prescription medications, or for the small plastic bags in the produce aisles. If you buy flowers or potted plants, you also won’t be charged for the bag collecting water drips. Individuals on federal food assistance programs such as SNAP or EBT will also be exempt from paying the fee. What is the city going to do with their new dimes? Nothing exciting, really. Stores get to keep 40 percent to cover the cost of implementing the fee (which will likely include putting up new signage and training employees). They can also use the money to provide free reusable
bags to customers. The other 60 percent goes back to the city which, it says, it will use to cover the program, hand out free disposable bags, create PSAs and maybe even fund community cleanups. And to people who use disposable bags to collect their recycling, the city has a simple answer. Put your recyclables in your purple bins without them, loose. No one needs the bags at all, and they actually cause damage to recycling equipment. This story is from Denverite, a nonprofit Denver news source affiliated with CPR News. Used by permission.

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 hous-
ing 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 Debra Bristol, chief of staff with the Brighton Housing Authority. The first phase is the feasibility plan the Brighton Housing Authority wants to use to finance the
project with low-income housing tax credits. Plus, there an agreement that into effect with the county with the help of the Adams County manager’s office, the facilities & fleet management department and the county’s attorney’s office. “This is just one of the many ways our employees are working to make a difference in the lives of our residents,” said County Manager Raymond H. Gonzales. “We will continue to include the availability of affordable housing among our top priorities.”
Metro area home sales set median price record in June Just 3,122 homes were listed for sale last month across metro counties 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, including 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 near that, with just 3,122 listings last month, a record low. Despite being a record low, June’s homes-on-the-market figures were a 50.46% increase from May, far above the average 5.86% change. But even then, the 3,122 listings were 51.09 percent fewer than in June 2020. The record high listing for June was in 2006 when the area had 31,900 listings, according to the report.

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. 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

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

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

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.

BY STEVE SMITH SSMITH@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Adams City’s Gerardo Caldera is the owner of 10 athletic letters from his four years in high school. He played on the Eagles’ football team and qualified for the state wrestling tournament as a junior. But his swan song for prep athletics was on the baseball diamond at Aurora Central High School July 5. He and other high-school seniors took part in the Senior all-star game. His selection for the game is a mystery. “I came into practice with the baseball team, and my coach, coach (Dave) Rolla, was the one who told me I was selected to be in the all-star game and that they would call me and inform me all about the game,”
Caldera said. “It was an amazing experience. I met some new guys, and I also played with guys I knew. It was just a bunch of joking and having a good time from both sides.” Caldera Caldera noticed the balance between competitive play and “great players … having fun.” “I knew a lot of Hinkley players and Levi Tucker from Brighton, but we also started creating new friends as we all started to get to know each other,” Caldera said. “But it was so much easier to create a bond because we’ve all been playing against each other for the past four years.” Like a lot of all-star games, there wasn’t a lot of effort or desire to use
signs or draw up plays. “Well not really. Some teams from down south couldn’t make it, so we divided teams ,” Caldera said. “And so, Coach Nick (Nick Dixon) from Hinkley coached the other side, and Coach Mark (Mark Gonzales from Prairie View High School) coached the EMAC side. “As the game, started he said, ‘I will not be giving signs. You guys play ball like the sandlot. Y’all earned the privilege to play in the all-star game and showcase your skills.’” Caldera’s team won 4-1. “It wasn’t my best showing at the plate, but I went 1-for-3,” he said. “On my defensive side, I threw out three people at third, almost had a few guys at second and we were close to picking a guy off at first.
