talk about fireworks changes Mayor suggests allowing safe fireworks July 3, 4 and New Years Eve BY SCOTT TAYLOR STAYLOR@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

City councilors are on board with changes to Commerce City’s fireworks rules, which could include legalizing holiday use of sparklers and other tame varieties while increasing fines for the more explosive kinds. “There will always be a challenge, whether we continue with the ordinance the way it is or we loosen the ordinance up to have people who can be in compliance,” Mayor Ben Huseman said. “When people can drive an hour north and purchase any kind of firework that you want to -- big ones that boom or light up the sky or make it look like you are calling close air support -- we will always have that challenge.

Students at Dupont Elementary learning two languages Its the first of its kind program in the Adams 14 district BY BELEN WARD BWARD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The Adams 14 School District’s Dupont Elementary School will offer a two-way dual-language program starting in the fall for students in preschool through the fifth grade. It’s a learning opportunity for the student to become bilingual and biliterate in English and Spanish, according to a press conference May 19. A one-way dual language program has been around for the past few years at Dupont. One-way dual language programs are when an English speaker has the opportunity to learn Spanish, or vice versa. The two-way dual language program allows students to learn English and both languages. “Currently, the one-way dual programming is available is only to our English or native Spanish students,” Dupont Principal Brian Clark said. “Now, the new piece that is starting next year, both in preschool and kindergarten are going to be a two-way dual language program. So regardless of your first language, you can come to DuPont and learn to be bilingual in English and Spanish. And we’re excited.”

Fire department gives away bikes, helmets

“We are nearly fully staffed. We are still looking for one bilingual teacher for next year, but we’re confident that we’ll be able to find them,” said Clark. Tanya Lopez, director of the culturally and linguistically diverse education for Adams 14, oversees the language-learner programs, such as English language development and the dual language program for four elementary schools in the 27J district. “We are super excited because this programming is answering a need and requests from our community. And we feel that dual-language programming supports our entire community and gets to the heart of who we are in Commerce City, and can provide this for our students and our feedback,” she said. Lopez said when students have a foundation of their language at home, they can continue to build on the language at the kindergarten and preschool levels. Research confirmed that if a student continues to develop the language skills through middle school, they outperform academically over their peers. “We are excited to see our students become bilingual, bi-literate and then achieve academically and be able to do whatever they want when they graduate from school,” Lopez said. “We are excited,” Dupont assistant principal Kelly Heinz said. “When you think about being bilingual as an adult, it just opens

up doors to opportunities that you don’t otherwise have, as far as jobs and careers and even getting into college.” “This is the kind of dual language program which will be the first of its kind and out of Adams 14 district. We do have one-way dual-language schools. But the twoway Dual Language School is going to be different for this district

in this community,” said Adams 14 Superintendent Don Rangel. “It’s going to set us apart from the districts around us, I think it’s going to be a great option for families, both our Spanish-speaking and English-speaking families to come and have an experience where they get to develop a second language.”

Unusual symptoms of a heart attack, intuition save Fort Lupton woman’s life Men and women tend to have different symptoms BY BELEN WARD BWARD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Shelby Edwards was hiking when she started to experience indigestion, right in the middle of her abdomen. Even though there was no pain, the uncomfortable feeling was even worse the next day. The 64-year-old’s intuition told her something was wrong, and her husband called 911. By the time the ambulance arrived, she had collapsed. “The day before we were hiking at Bear Lake, and I picked up a snowball to throw it at my husband. Then I took off running so he wouldn’t hit me with a snowball. Then suddenly, I felt pressure at the top of my stomach. It didn’t feel right so I slowed down running,” said Edwards. She woke up the next day not feeling well. She went to the restroom and sweat was dripping off her head. She got scared and called her husband, suspecting something was wrong. He called the ambulance; it was the last thing Edwards remembered. She woke up in the hospital. “Shelby’s heart rate and blood pressure were very low. She wasn’t getting a lot of blood flow to her head at that time. She was dizzy, disoriented’ and feeling weak, very washed out and tired. It all made sense,” said Dr. Chris Cannon. Cannon, an interventional cardiologist at Platte Valley Medical in Brighton, attached a temporary external pacemaker to Edwards to support her blood pressure and keep sufficient blood flowing to her brain. He then proceeded to operate by opening the right coronary artery – which was 100 percent blocked – and inserting two stents. The surgery restored Edwards’ blood flow into the artery, and her blood pressure and heart rate recovered. The pacemaker was no longer necessary; three days later, Edwards went home. Walking miracle Platte Valley nurses and physicians call Edwards “the walking miracle.” Her intuition and unusual symptoms with her body that something was wrong kept her alive.

Shelby Edwards and Dr. Christopher Cannon are in the heart catheterization lab where he worked on her blocked artery saving her PHOTO BY CAITLYN MAJOR life.

Paying attention to less-than-usual symptoms that could be a sign of a heart attack is very important, they said. For more than 20 years, Cannon has seen both usual and unusual symptoms. The usual typical symptom are pain in the center of the chest and also towards the left side of the chest. Often, the pain radiates towards the left shoulder or into the left arm down into the elbow area; the pain can be sharp. Also, there is pressure, heaviness such as weight sensation on the chest with shortness of breath, sweating and, sometimes, nausea. Cannon said women tend to experience unusual symptoms often with pain in the neck and jaw and sometimes in the middle of the back between both shoulders. A heart attack can come with chest pain or without chest pain along with dizziness, shortness of breath and headache. “With men, traditional symptoms are with chest pain in middle of the chest or the left side and maybe going into that left arm, it’s a more common scenario for men,” said

Cannon. Age, genes and other risks Cannon said people in their 50s, 60s, 70s, and 80s are more prone to heart attacks. It’s rare for patients ages 30s and 40s to have a heart attack, but doctors have seen patients that young. Prevention is very important by keeping blood pressure under control and maintaining low cholesterol and a well-balanced diet is a key. “There are also genetic components to high cholesterol as well. (In some cases), their liver produces cholesterol, so it’s not all from what we eat. Some people are genetically programmed to produce a lot of cholesterol; others are not. The people that have a lot of cholesterol production are at high risk,” said Cannon. People who eat a very poor diet with lots of sugar and fat are also at higher risk. Smoking cigarettes and diabetes are also risk factors. “Family history are genetic components,” Cannon said. “If you have a strong family history, with parents, brothers or sisters with heart attacks or heart issues, it makes them more likely as well to have a heart attack.” Recovering “The nurses and doctor cared about me,” Edwards said. “If you needed something, they would go out of their way. I was impressed. They

treated me well and were excellent.” She and her husband, Aaron Edwards, were in the Navy. Shelby Edwards worked for the Department of Defense, and Aaron worked on a submarine. After the Navy, they moved to West Palm Beach, Florida, then moved to Colorado Springs and now reside in Fort Lupton. Her husband works as an international trainer for a company in Denver. Edwards said her husband wrote her a letter after her recovery. “He said, ‘I know you could get depressed over regulating your blood pressure. I just want to let you know you’re my wife. You’re my partner. You’re my best friend. And I couldn’t imagine life without you. So, rushing you to the emergency room for your blood pressure is no big deal to me because I would rather do that than not have you,’” she said. Edwards’ goal for the future is to reach everyone’s heart with her dynamic personality. “I think there’s too much hate and too much judgment in the world. My life’s goal if you save one person’s life, say something kind and just be nice to people,” said Edwards. If you have concerns about your heart health, call the SCL Health Heart & Vascular Institute at 303-6597000 to make an appointment with a cardiologist. If you’re experiencing urgent symptoms, call 911 immediately. Acting fast could save your life.

Council considers development review fastlane Projects that bring jobs, meet city guidlines could get faster approvals BY SCOTT TAYLOR STAYLOR@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Commerce City could streamline staff review of development projects that match city economic development priorities or bring jobs to the community, councilors agreed May 24. Councilors had few concerns about creating rules to sort building proposals and development projects based on how well they match Commerce City’s Economic Development Strategic Plan, those that attract,

expand or keep in-city jobs or are near RTD’s new train station or are within the urban renewal area. “The city has an existing policy that allows staff to review cases, so this would supplement the city’s processes,” city management analyst Jenna Lowery said. “As of today, there are no firm guidelines for when a development project receives priority case status and gets expedited through our review process. This lack of guidelines causes confusion for staff but leads to priority requests that should not be expedited.” The city would charge higher permitting and service fees for those projects, Lowery said. Commerce City’s development fees for reviewing development

plans, planned unit developments, plats and zoning changes are already lower than surrounding municipalities, she said. “Commerce City would continue to remain competitive in the eyes of the development community if we increased fees for these services,” she said. That should not be a deterrent to developers. She said city staff has presented the proposal to 75 local developers to get their feedback, and they liked the idea. “I am pretty pleased to report that the development community offered overwhelming support for this and the services offered, and they did not express any concerns with paying increased fees or additional application fee for these services,” she told

council. Councilors had no objections, with City Councilor Nicole Frank wondering if the Commerce City had enough development staff to make the plan feasible. Lowery assured the city council that it was feasible with current staffing. “It’s something we’ve been conscientious about,” Lowery said. “We met with community development, public works and all of their review staff in early 2020 and again quite recently to make sure they could meet these times. Everyone said yes. There were not any concerns, assuming the quality of submittals is good.” Councilors get a second look at the plan later this summer.
