Aims Community college is helping students impacted by COVID-19 BY BELEN WARD BWARD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
A tuition-free summer is on the way for Fort Lupton students, according to Aims Community College. It’s an opportunity for those who live in the Aims Community College tax district to get help with the cost of going to school, according to a press release. “The free tuition will be for indistrict residents only, but they can take classes at any campus or online. It is for both current and new students,” said Julia Smith, Aims Communications According to the press release, COVID-19 impacted enrollment at the community college due to loss of jobs, lack of child care, and other financial income losses. Community colleges serve larger populations of low-income students which affected enrollment declines. “The past year has been tough financially for many people and we hope to relieve some of the financial burdens for current and new students as they work towards their educational goals,” said Aims CEO/ President Dr. Leah L. Bornstein.
Aims also offers Welding Technology classes, learning from basic to advanced techCOURTESY OF AIMS COMMUNITY COLLEGE nology.

for the free tuition the student must live within the Aims tax district, will receive a maximum of $67.00 per credit discount, and must take a maximum of 15 credits during the summer semester. The students are responsible for paying for books and cover fees. Also, if the course is more expensive than the $67.00, the student will be responsible for an additional cost. Aims is offering a new course to prepare students for a Federal CDL Class-A license for a tracker trailer truck driving career. CDL is a continuing education program, which is noncredit so it’s not available for free tuition. In addition, Aims also offers welding classes which are credit-based classes so tuition cost would be free. “When a student gets their Federal license, they can drive anything. They also can go anywhere in the country and get a good job. Also, it’s something that will follow them from state to state. It will open up a lot of doors and especially for these young people and creates a whole new career for them,” said Bob Wieser, Aims Community College Instructor and a State of Colorado driver’s license tester. Register for classes by June 1st. Current students, returning students, and newly registered students can apply. Classes can be taken inSEE TUITION, P5

Council approves new subdivision parcel) that we currently have.”
BY STEVE SMITH SSMITH@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Fort Lupton City Council approved and rezoned the Brandywine Farms subdivision during its regular meeting May 18. The land is near state Highway 52 and Weld County Road 23. The zoning changes the property to from agricultural to heavy commercial use. “We see Lot 1 (an acre of land) as a starting point for the Brandywine development,” landowner Leonard Toews told council. “It’s the start of the development for us.” The three lots total about 30 acres. Planner Maria Lancto told council there are no pending use changes on the property. “We haven’t made plans,” Toews told council. “We’re leaving things open. We want to keep our floral business (on existing four acres of the
Money 1 – Lupton Village Council also approved $528,000 in improvements for the Lupton Village subdivision. The area is near Weld County Road 12 and Rollie Avenue. “They are installing this?” asked Mayor Zo Stieber. “Yes,” said public works Director Roy Vestal. “So we’re not spending any money?” Stieber asked. “No,” Vestal answered. Council unanimously approved the resolution authorizing the work. Money 2 – street repaving Council also approved a $2 million contract with Colorado Paving Inc. for work near College Avenue and Ninth Street, site of the future Cottonwood Homes development. Staff engineer Monroe Peck described the existing
condition of the pavement as “absolutely horrendous.” “Once we start accumulating property taxes from those addresses (in the
new development), we can start addressing the sidewalks,” Stieber said. Vestal wants to include some of that money in the 2022 budget.

out of an area of Denver Avenue between First and Ninth Streets. Denver resident Loxley Bryant, who has an interest in opening a marijuana business in Fort Lupton, said council didn’t make it clear where downtown is. “It would make sense to explain your definition so it can cover a few more streets,” he said. During a recent study session, Stieber was not in favor of expanding the “no-marijuana” zone because a lot of the proposed new areas were residential. Marijuana businesses aren’t allowed in residential areas.

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. Reclamation 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. The Metro Wastewater district, which is made up of 60 local governments 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,”
Crews cart a section of reinforced fiberglass pipe into place along the Second Creek pipeline corridor. Work on the pipeline, which begins south of Denver International Airport and continues north east to the Metro Wastewater Districts Northern Treatment plant in Brighton, is expected to continue through 2023. COURTESY
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.”

529 plans: More versatile than ever You may already be somewhat familiar with the 529 plan, a popular education savings account that offers federally tax-free withdrawals if the money is used for qualified expenses. But you may not be aware of some newer eligible expenses for this plan. First of all, in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, more schools are offering online classes. You can use a 529 plan to help pay for these costs, just as you would for in-person learning. Also, a 529 plan can now be used to pay for K-12 expenses, which may interest you if you want to send your children to a private school. Plus, 529 plans can pay for registered apprenticeship program expenses, frequently offered through community colleges. Furthermore, you can use a 529 plan to repay qualified student loans, within approved lifetime limits. Check with your tax advisor before taking any withdrawals from a 529 plan. Withdrawals used for reasons other than qualified expenses may be subject to federal and state taxes as well as a 10% penalty. But in any case, it’s useful to know the different ways you can put a 529 plan to work. This article was written by Edward Jones for use by your local Edward Jones Financial Advisor.

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.

Fort Lupton sets rules for graduation Tickets needed, and planning for parking a must BY STAFF REPORTS
Fort Lupton High School returns its graduation to an in-person format this year. The ceremony begins at 9 a.m. Saturday, May 29, at Bob Phelps Field. Gates open at 7:30 a.m., and school officials are asking the public not to arrive any earlier. Each graduate received six tickets
Here’s a layout of the seating areas for Fort Lupton’s graduation program. COURTESY OF FORT LUPTON HIGH SCHOOL
and had the chance to purchase two more during a first-come, firstserved on-line option late last week. Family seating (six tickets) will be on the field. There will be groupings of six chairs for each of the graduates’ families for the ceremony. The school is asking that people not move chairs or combine groups. Each ticket has a unique QR code that has to be scanned at the gate. Don’t make copies, and the school says don’t lose the tickets and bring them along for the ceremony. Those sitting on the field should use the south and west entrances. The north entrance is for general
admission and bleacher seating. For those who can’t attend in person or who don’t feel safe in large crowds, the school’s Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/flhs. weld8) will offer livestreaming. Parking information The back lot of the high school off Kahil Street is closed for construction. So, the only way in is the driveway off the softball field on Denver Avenue north of Kahil Street. We will have courtesy golf carts that can assist patrons that need assistance.

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.

Lucia Maestas Brighton High School
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.

Tell us a little about your high school career: Clubs, sports, activities and things you participated in during high school. I have been in the Brighton FFA chapter for four years and a chapter officer for three years. I also have been in Prostart What are your plans after graduation? I plan on attending NJC for three years to study equine management as well as animal science and then transfer to
CSU for another two years to finish studying animal science What memorable moment during the pandemic instilled a key value in you? My memorable moment during the pandemic was when seeing everyone panicked in the stores. It taught me not to expect the worse outcome and to just keep on going and keep expecting the best outcome possible. You can’t move forward in life if you are
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? Adventurous, hardworking, successful What do you see as your graduating class’ mission to better the world? I see my graduating class mission to better the world as understanding that mistakes are the key to success. Without making mistakes you aren’t going to learn anything in life.

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.
