Thornton Pride flag will fly Public comments change council minds about displaying LGBTQ support BY LIAM ADAMS LADAMS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Deviating from a previous plan, the city of Thornton will fly a Pride flag in front of City Hall because of an unplanned city council vote at a June 8 meeting. Before June 8, city council did not reach a consensus on raising a flag for Pride Month, which celebrates the LGBTQ community. That changed, though, when community members showed up to the recent meeting and spoke for an hour during public comments about the importance of a Pride flag. “We’re a supportive community, I don’t think we need signs to tell us that,” said Councilor Angie Bedolla at a June 1 planning session. In a discussion about celebrating Pride Month, council agreed to adopt a formal resolution and direct city staff to make posts on social media. Councilors Jacque Philips and Julia Marvin also wanted the city to display a sign or flag. Bedolla and Councilman David Acunto disagreed, however. At the June 1 planning session, Mayor Jan Kulmann said the city wouldn’t move forward with a sign or flag because there wasn’t consensus. In response, Thornton residents who identify as LGBTQ and other community members rallied. Four people who are running for city council in November — Roberta Ayala, Kathy Henson, Karen Bi-

At the meeting, dozens of community members showed up to speak during public comments or show their support by sitting in the audience wearing a Pride shirt. “It’s a simple gesture, it’s not something we’re asking hard of you. You did a resolution. Awesome. But the significance of a Pride flag is so much more important than just a resolution,” said resident Deja Moore, a transgender woman, during public comments. “It really embodies and shows that we matter and if we do matter, take that stance. Yield that pride flag like you should.”

Several public speakers pointed out that many of Thornton’s neighbors, including Westminster, Northglenn and Broomfield, had some form of public display for Pride Month. “We are the sixth largest city in Colorado and the largest city in Adams County, it’s time to put Thornton on the map. It’s time to shatter every closet door and to build a more inclusive and embracive tomorrow,” said resident Seth Thomas. After public comments, the debate continued at the council dais. “The majority of council, not all, refused to do signs to support Pride and to raise a flag. I find this disappointing at best,” Phillips said. Mayor Pro Tem Jessica Sandgren

said it’s not as straightforward as some make it out to be. “While I support pride month and putting signs or flag in your yard, I feel that flying a flag other than what we have now opens the door for other flag that will cause divide in our city,” Sandgren said. “Flying a flag or not flying a flag does not indicate support or opposition of any cause.” Marvin disagreed and during her comments, she spontaneously introduced a motion to fly the Pride flag in front of City Hall. Philips seconded it, leading Kulmann to ask for a roll call. Marvin, Philips and Councilors Adam Matkowsky, Sherry Goodman and Sam Nizam voted yes. Kulmann, Sandgren, Acunto and Bedolla voted no.

After 99 ballots, Westminster can’t fill vacant seat BY LIAM ADAMS LADAMS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Westminster City Council was not able to appoint someone to a vacant council seat after 99 rounds of voting, topping the council’s previous 78-round record. During a 2 1/2-hour special meeting June 7, the six-member council cycled through eight finalists who were vying for a seventh seat on the dais. Because one finalist didn’t receive a majority vote, voters will choose the seventh councilor in November’s municipal election, leaving an evenly split council on its own for the next five months. “While I do not look forward to governing for a period of five months without an additional member of council to help put their finger on the scale to help determine policy and budget decisions, I feel like this is turning into … I don’t see a path,” said Mayor Anita Seitz

during the meeting. The coming months will prove challenging to a council that is politically and ideologically split over several issues. On one side is Seitz and Councilors Kathryn Skulley and Jon Voelz, who are all Democrats, support the city’s current structure for water rates, a sensitive issue in the community, and were targets of a recall campaign that began last fall. On the other side is Mayor Pro Tem David DeMott and Councilors Rich Seymour and Lindsey Smith, who are all Republicans, support lowering water rates and are considered allies of the Westminster Water Warriors, the recall group. The Water Warriors sought to recall Seitz, Skulley, Voelz and former Mayor Herb Atchison for the councilors’ stance on water rates. Westminster City Clerk Michelle Parker deemed recall petitions for Atchison and Voelz sufficient to

trigger recall elections. Atchison resigned soon after and Voelz will face a recall election on July 20. When Atchison resigned, Seitz, then-mayor pro tem, became mayor, leaving vacant her seat with a twoand half-year term remaining. At a June 1 special meeting, the council interviewed eight finalists to fill the seat -- Obi Ezaedi, Patrick Rock, Don Fiddes, Wayne Anderson, Miguel Mendoza-Hall, Mike Tylka, Mark Clark and Larry Dean Valente. All eight finalists received votes from councilors at the June 7 special meeting, just not a majority amount. Round 1 counted three votes for Ezeadi from Seitz, Skulley and Voelz and three votes for Valente from DeMott, Smith and Seymour. The voting at the June 7 meeting followed a similar pattern as a May 10 meeting, when councilors voted 78 times for mayor pro tem, ultimately yielding to DeMott. Both

sides budged very little on their selections. Similarly, at the June 7 meeting, both factions of councilors had their preferred finalists. Seymour, Smith and DeMott primarily voted for Anderson or Valente, while Seitz, Skulley and Voelz often voted for Ezeadi, Fiddes and Tylka. Seitz, Skulley or Voelz also voted for Rock and Mendoza-Hall on a few occasions, while DeMott voted for Clark a couple times. Which finalists received which votes meant something. Valente has publicly supported the Water Warriors and lowering water rates. Tylka, Rock and Fiddes expressed the opposite view in their interviews. Seitz, Skulley and Voelz never voted for Valente, who has supported their recall. The two sides voted in blocs for the first 30 rounds but started SEE COUNCIL, P7

Northglenn City Council makes pick for vacant seat BY LIAM ADAMS LADAMS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Shannon Lukeman-Hiromasa will be the next Ward 4 representative on Northglenn City Council, the council decided at a June 7 meeting. The council selected Lukeman-Hiromasa after nine finalist interviews and a couple of rounds of voting. Council is expected to approve a formal resolution at a June Lukeman14 meeting appointing Hiromasa Lukeman-Hiromasa to fill the council seat until November. “I am thankful and deeply honored with City Council’s decision to appoint me as the Ward 4 Council representative. I believe in service through proactive and meaningful actions, and this is my chance to give back to my community in a more involved capacity,” LukemanHiromasa said in an email after the meeting.

Councilors cited Lukeman-Hiromasa’s background in entrepreneurship and her knowledgeability of the community as reasons for selecting her. Lukeman-Hiromasa is the CEO and co-owner of Colorado Krav Maga and a member of the city’s community co-production policing advisory board. The other eight finalists were Timothy Long, Mary Mondragon, Catherine Schyling, Andrew Dollard Thompson, Julie Schilz, Brian Waselko and Christopher Barrera. The Ward 4 seat opened after Councilman Antonio Esquibel announced he was resigning to move to Utah. His last council meeting was May 25. Mondragon, Schyling and Thompson were also high on the council’s list of finalists. Schyling, who is a member of Northglenn’s homelessness task force, talked in detail about homelessness, its causes and ways to address it. Schyling said it’s not just about providing resources to people experiencing homelessness, but “changing the narrative

and educating the public about this issue.” Mondragon, whose professional background is in finance, talked about bolstering businesses in the community, especially at the Northglenn Marketplace. “We have got a lot of empty spaces and what I would like to see for Northglenn is to get marketplace full of good businesses, attracting businesses that support seniors,” she said. Meanwhile, Thompson said that one of his priorities is uniting the community after a year of isolation and political divisiveness over the COVID-19 pandemic. “I think one of the challenges that we’re going to have is how are we going to bring the community back to where we were and even better than it was,” said Thompson, an attorney who owns a private practice. Lukeman-Hiromasa touched on the importance of supporting lower-income families and young people and making the city more affordable to live for both groups. Ways to do that include allowing

for a diversity of housing types and ensuring that people earn a livable wage, she said. After interviews finished, councilors completed forms in which they gave scores to finalists’ answers and the finalist overall. Lukeman-Hiromasa, Schyling and Mondragon received the highest scores in that first round. However, councilors were confused about the scoring process, so they re-did it and then further discussed their choices. Lukeman-Hiromasa’s name kept coming up as a favorite. Councilman Randall Peterson said, “I would make a motion for council to go with the mathematic number (of support) and appoint Shannon to fill the Ward 4 vacancy.” Mayor Meredith Leighty agreed and asked if the rest of the council did too. Every member of the council raised their hand. After Lukeman-Hiromasa takes the oath, she will serve until November and then there will be an election for a two-year term for that seat.

Thornton Fire vaccination effort has far-reaching impact BY LIAM ADAMS LADAMS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The Thornton Fire Department is doing more than its fair share in the fight against COVID-19. As of June 2, the department has administered over 82,000 doses of the COVID-19 vaccine via clinics it’s been operating for five months. The department knew it would be successful when it started, but it didn’t foresee the level of impact it would have. “We knew the impact that it would make, but I don’t think we knew we would hit that 82,000 mark,” said Sabrina Iacovetta, community safety and information officer for the department. The department began in late December, almost immediately after the U.S. Food and Drug Administration gave the Pfizer vaccine emergency authorization. To Iacovetta’s knowledge, there were no other Denver metro fire departments that had a mass similar vaccination plan. At that point, the department was used to large-scale operations because it was providing mass COVID-19 testing. When only essential personnel and frontline medical professionals were initially eligible for the vaccine, the department administered doses at Fire Station 1. All firefighters with the department were able to administer the vaccines because they had a basic EMT certification, though only certain department staff regularly manned the clinics.

Later, the department would hire outside individuals to help administer doses. When vaccinations opened to the public for people who are 70 and older, the department started to run its mass vaccination site at the Carpenter Recreation Center. Most vaccinations happened there from then on, but the department also operated mobile clinics and hosted Saturday clinics at the Adams 12 Five Star Schools building. Once the department had vaccinated all Adams 12 staff who

signed up, the clinic at the Adams 12 building also opened to the public. What surprised Iacovetta the most was where people traveled from. People drove three to four hours to Thornton to receive their vaccine and others flew in from other states. Several people commented on “how efficient our site was,” Iacovetta said. Following the department’s success, the Congressional Fire Service Institute – a Virginia-based nonprofit that advocates for fire

safety-related issues in Congress – awarded Thornton Fire its “Fire Service-Based EMS Award” in late April. It was one of four national awards the CFSI gives out annually. The department received the award for testing and vaccinating community members and implementing a COVID-symptomatic firefighters program. The department has shut down the recreation center clinic, due to the demand for vaccinations. Mobile sites are still operating, however.

With the easing of local and statewide COVID-19 restrictions in recent weeks, Arvada-based nonprofit Hope House — which provides resources for teen moms — returned to hosting in-person events to engage their community. A graduation ceremony was held on May 27 at Trinity Church and a ‘Kickoff to Summer Bash’ was held on June 3 at Lake Arbor Park.

transportation. I ended up having to take a few years off from school, and when I came back in 2020, I enrolled in the online diploma option. “It was a better fit for me because it worked better with my schedule,” Monica continued, “and I was able to finish in just a few months. I’m so grateful to have all of the support from Hope House. It feels so good to be done and to have accomplished one of my big goals. Now I can work on my next goal; college!” Hope House Founder and Executive Director Lisa Steven said the organization tries to make their ceremony mirror a traditional high school graduation. “(The moms) are so grateful for a traditional ceremony,” said Steven. “Not just them, but their families as well. Having the opportunity to celebrate success is huge — girls have started crying when they’ve seen mural of teen moms in caps and gowns because they thought it was something that had been lost to them, and when they see that it’s like they can actually graduate. “We do the whole ‘Pomp and Circumstance,’ walking down the aisle, moving the tassel,” Steven continued. “The stage mirrors a high school graduation. someone from our board addresses them, the program director addresses them and there’s also an address by their teacher.” Steven added that Hope House’s volunteer tutors help the teen moms a great deal in working towards their diploma or GED. “A huge, huge impact is made by

Graduation On May 27, Hope House honored 13 teen moms who earned their high school or GED diplomas at a ceremony at Trinity Church. Hope House’s High School and GED program allows teen moms to pursue their education through whichever program works best for them, including GED prep, HiSET prep and Penn Foster, a self-paced online high school diploma option. Hope House provides volunteer tutors that help teen moms work towards their GED or diploma. Nationally, less than 50% of teen moms graduate from high school. 80% of teen moms in Hope House’s High School & GED Program receive their diploma or GED. The nonprofit has been operating its High School & GED Program since 2007 and typically has three graduation ceremonies per year. Monica, a teen mom who is a member of the most recent Hope House graduating class, said the nonprofit helped her overcome a number of challenges to eventually receive her GED. “Back in 2013 I started my GED,” said Monica. “There were a lot of obstacles that Hope House helped me overcome, like childcare and

our volunteer tutors,” said Steven. “Every one of our moms is working at her own pace with an individualized learning plan developed with (Program Director) Hillary Donovan, then they have volunteer tutors that sit next to them or over Zoom and help them with their lessons. “I’ve personally seen a mom light up and completely change their demeanor when a tutor says, ‘you’ve got this, you can do it,’” Steven continued. “It’s like they’ve never been told that before. I’ve had moms tell me teachers told them they’re stupid, and when they get that positive support it’s a complete game changer.” Steven finished by saying that getting a GED or diploma is a big step in becoming financially independent for teen moms. “Getting your GED or diploma is truly the first step towards economic self-sufficiency,” said Steven. “Whether the next step is continuing school or starting a career, you need the first step. The girls are getting such a huge boost of confidence, and I get the best seat of the house when they’re glowing with pride for making it to that point.” ‘Kickoff to Summer Bash’ Hope House also hosted a ‘Kickoff to Summer Bash’ on June 3 at Lake Arbor Park. The event featured lawn games and food provided by Chick-

Fil-A and Kona Ice and was attended by roughly 120 teen moms and their families. The event was sponsored by the Arvada Economic Development Association, which provided funding for food, décor and yard games, as well as prize giveaways. “With the current challenges we face in this economy, Hope House is a vital asset in supporting teen moms to develop more self-sufficiency,” said AEDA Executive Director Daniel Ryley. “The AEDA board and staff believe that Hope House’s mission aligns with our focus in developing a thriving, sustainable business environment.” Hope House Family Advocate Kendra Crispin said the event was designed to allow the organization’s moms and staff to reconnect interpersonally after a year of social distancing. “This concept started from the idea that 2020 was the worst year ever,” said Crispin. “A lot of our moms were not able to come in during COVID and we didn’t have a lot of opportunities for community building like we normally do. So, this was to build community for our moms, let them know that we are still there for them and love them and want to give them a fun place to hang out and with each other and the staff and re-engage a bit.”

Charges not filed in garage sale mix-up STAFF REPORTS

BRIGHTON –The 17th Judicial District Attorney’s Office will not file charges against a man involved in a dispute at a garage sale. The incident happened in Westminster on June 5. The DA’s office said the victim believed Armando Valdez Gonzalez stole the bag with money she was using to carry cash

for a yard sale. Gonzalez reportedly told the woman and her husband that the bag belonged to him. The couple tried to prevent Gonzalez from leaving. The suspect, who was in the front seat of his truck, drove away. As he did, the woman fell to the ground and was injured, according to a press statement. DA spokesman Chris Hopper said Gonzalez called police to tell

them about the incident. He told police that he didn’t steal the bag of money. Gonzalez’ wife also gave her husband’s bag to police for review. Hopper said the bag is one Gonzalez normally carries when he visits garage sales. “The female homeowner also reviewed the bag and confirmed it was not hers,” Hopper said. “The woman’s husband later called police

to inform them that they had, in fact, found their bag from the yard sale.” Hopper said Gonzalez did not commit a crime and he took “every opportunity to contact the appropriate authorities.” “There is no basis for the filing of criminal charges against Mr. Valdez Gonzalez,” hopper said. “The homeowners were informed, understood and agreed with the decision.”

Tornado wipes out two homes, causes $500,000 in damage BY STEVE SMITH SSMITH@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Weld County officials said the June 7 tornado that started in Firestone caused about $500,000 to businesses and property during its trek through parts of southwest Weld County. Two homes were destroyed, amounting to $429,000 in damage. Three other homes sustained damage to at least 50 percent of the structure, according to county officials. The cost of the damage to those homes is a bit more than $100,000. The tornado also hit two businesses, a feedlot and a dairy. Weld County officials said a fire sparked from a downed power line destroyed one building at the feedlot while another building loss was the direct result of the tornado. Damage to the dairy was limited to the roof, outbuildings and livestock. County officials said the tornado traveled about six miles and was on the ground for about a half-hour. The tornado also blew over some power lines and dislodged at least one piece of plywood that sailed into a tree. No people were injured, but two cattle at the local dairy farm died. The large tornado dropped down near Weld County roads 19 and 28 shortly after 5 p.m. A family driving home from the class 4A regional golf tournament in Greeley had to turn around on U.S. Highway 85 and wait out the storm in a place of

safety. “I was in the house,” said resident Mark McKinney. “A buddy I work with lives up the road. He called me and said there was a tornado over the top of the house. It just kept getting bigger and bigger and bigger.” The storm continued northeast, damaging the Cottonwood Dairy on WCR 26 and continuing toward Platteville. A storm chaser said two cows died. “Once it left here, it stayed on the ground for probably 20 minutes,” McKinney said. There was no damage to McKinney’s home. Down the street, the tornado impaled a large piece of plywood into a tree. “We were just sitting in the living room. We came out, and it was literally right here,” McKinney said from in front of his property on WCR 28. “We watched it come through. It didn’t sound like a tornado. It looked more like a dirt devil. But then it intensified, and then there was thunder lightning. it must have lasted 25 minutes.” “It was terrifying,” said Karyn Weiner, whose home was in the path of the tornado when it started. “I was at my kids’ school over in Frederick, picking them up and bringing them home. I was backing out, saw the tornado out my back window. Then I hopped out and took a video.” Her house survived, but her outbuildings did not. “We lost a lot of trees,” she said. “There’s a job site just south of us. Their trailer is up against our

house. It’s about 10 feet away from the house. I don’t know how it didn’t get into our house. There’s plywood up in the trees.” Weiner said the tornado looked like a landspout at first. “I got a really cool picture of it from far away,” she said. “It looked so tiny. I didn’t think it would do that much damage. It was just a baby. But it sat for four or five minutes.” McKinney’s wife, Sandy, said they went to the front door once they learned about the tornado. “Then the alarm went off after-

ward,” she said. “We never had an alarm until it was to the neighbors, and she said she didn’t get an alarm either. It happened so fast. In the house, you couldn’t hear anything until it was right in front of the house.” The National Weather Service rated the tornado as an EF-1 on the Fujita scale with winds of 99 mph. The storm was on the ground for 7 miles and was 50 yards wide in places. It started two miles northeast of Firestone and ended three miles northwest of Platteville.

Quist students learn to overcome with art School created a permanent butterfly art installation BY BELEN WARD BWARD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

As the teachers at Roger Quist Middle School watched their quarantined students struggle with a life without friends, social gatherings, activities and adapting to a new way of learning virtually last year, they looked for a symbol that could inspire them to get through. Now, more than 200 eighth-grade students have emerged with newfound resilience, creating a permanent art installation to represent a year of living like a cocoon before spreading their wings to be like butterflies. “Who doesn’t like a bug as part of that vision? It brings so much beauty and happiness,” said Taylor Marino, Quist Middle School Science teacher. “Butterflies and moths and similar organisms are so unique and so different from our students. We wanted them to personalize something that they could leave in our school, not only for us but for their classmates and kids to come.” “We have something in our building that was a collaboration. It’s one of the reasons for the placement in the window, you can see the mountains in the background. The balls are a cocoon version of them and the butterflies are where they are- a metamorphosis, “ said Beth MarksBerner, Quist Middle School English Language Arts teacher. The butterfly installation is made of old manila folders that were purchased from a thrift store. The folders are heavy and so the kids can cut out patterns of butterflies, color them and construct them into the butterfly and cocoons. Struggling during the pandemic Students Malone Stadler and Leslie Gutierrez the pandemic impacted each of them differently. “I feel like it positively impacted

me because I got to hang out with my siblings a lot more and make better relationships with them,” Stadler said. “I’m excited to be in class, I was tired of being home all the time. I wanted to go to school and see my friends. And I didn’t care if we had to wear masks.” It was harder for Guitierrez. “It was hard for me learning online and not see any classmates. I was never one to ever struggle in school and I enjoyed going to school. I had no motivation to do anything. I think we learned a lot this year and we connected and got close especially on the last day of school. I’ll never forget it,” said Gutierrez. The pandemic impacted the teachers personally and emotionally, too. “I didn’t realize how hard my parents worked and didn’t realize I liked her brother. “My family was a lot of fun,” said Marks-Berner. Marino got married during COVID but also connected with family. “Getting married was happening with COVID or not. I count my blessing for my family and have retained during COVID. I think that this year has allowed me to reflect upon how I see myself as both an educator and a woman and how I can have those two things complement each other,” said Taylor. “My focus is my family and our beautiful students, their families, their homes. I have learned to not take it all so seriously,” she added. Emerging from their struggles The teachers saw students emerge with resiliency to adjust to a new way of life without friends and doing activities. The students also realized how hard the teachers were working and develop a reconnect with them. “As an eighth-grade teacher we don’t always get noticed, but this year, I never got so many thank you cards, emails, texts from kids of appreciation,” said Marks-Berner. Marino said the impact of the pandemic for them was the school had never done this type of teaching before and had to pull something together to finish up the 2019-2020 year. Then this year they had to

change the lessons to teach inperson and online simultaneously. Also learning completely different instructional strategies. There were student successes, but connections fell through the cracks. “Kids were not turning cameras on or speaking during online classes, to be very engaged kids. We could speak to the kids but didn’t see their body language. We didn’t have the warmth and connection we would have if we were standing next to a child, “ said Marino. “For teachers as sensitive as we are, it’s emotional. It’s just not something we can take lightly.” Marino said COVID was a good year for the school to take risks and experiment with their jobs of teaching. For Marino teaching science online was a challenge because science is a hands-on activity for students. “There are other ways were can learn scientific argumentation, it is not necessarily something we do with our hands. It’s something we can do with our brains,” said Marino. The kids learned science with more thinking and reasoning. “I hammered on them with this type of learning a lot and it will benefit them in language arts, math, and social studies. It’s a skill that

The future going forward Marks-Berner said, “I’m going to spend the whole summer reflecting on what worked and what didn’t work. We take the positive things that we learned from last year. We should learn from our experiences. “I hope that this year, gives all stakeholders, teachers, parents, policymakers, administration, something to think about, I mean, our education system, it’s time for a makeover, “ said Marino.

Bag fees on horizon as bill goes to Polis Polystyrene foam would be banned for use as restaurant containers BY JESSE PAUL THE COLORADO SUN

Colorado lawmakers on June 8 sent Gov. Jared Polis House Bill 1162, which would establish a fee for single-use products, like plastic and paper grocery bags, and let retailers keep some of the proceeds. The bill would also ban the use of polystyrene-foam containers by restaurants starting in 2024. The measure has long been a priority of Democrats, but it has taken years to get the policy to the point where it had enough votes to clear the legislature, despite ongoing business opposition. The measure would ban single-use plastic bags in Colorado starting in 2024 — but there are asterisks. Restaurants that prepare or serve food in individual portions for immediate on- or off-premises consumption would be exempt, as would stores that operate solely in Colorado and have three or fewer locations. Businesses that are still allowed to offer plastic bags must collect a fee of at least 10 cents on each bag. The fee may be higher if a city or county enacts a higher charge. (More on that later.) “We’re hoping that they also make

the culture-change decision,” said Sen. Julie Gonzales, a Denver Democrat and prime sponsor of the bill. Businesses that are prohibited from offering plastic bags may distribute them, with fees, between January and July 2024 if they were in their inventory before the start of that year. Starting on Jan. 1, 2023, all businesses would be required to impose at least a 10-cent fee on plastic and paper bags. The fee may be higher if a city or county enacts a higher charge. People who are in federal or state food assistance programs wouldn’t have to pay the fees as long as they can prove that they are enrolled in one of those initiatives. Businesses would be required to send 60% of the bag-fee revenue they collect to the municipality they operate in. If the business is within an unincorporated part of a county, the money would be sent to the county. Local governments would be required to spend the money on bag-fee enforcement costs and on waste-diversion programs, such as outreach and education. The remaining 40% of the bag-fee revenue would be kept by businesses but not subject to sales taxes. Stores that collect less than $20 in bag fees in a given quarter don’t have to remit the revenue to their municipality or county and can keep the money. Under the bill, businesses would be forced to “conspicuously display”

a sign inside or outside of their stores alerting customers to the bag fee. The charge would also be listed on patrons’ receipts. The fee cannot be refunded. It’s not just plastic bags that lawmakers are aiming to do away with. The bill would also ban polystyrenefoam products across the state starting on Jan. 1, 2024. The only exception is that restaurants would be able to continue using polystyrene-foam products for takeout after that date until their inventory is gone. Municipalities and cities would be able to sue businesses that don’t comply with the new bag-fee and polystyrene-foam rules. They also may assess fines of $500

for a second violation and $1,000 for a third or subsequent violation. The fines would be assessed per violation during a retail sale. In other words, if a business illegally handed out 10 plastic bags during one transaction, they would only be considered to have violated the law once. The measure also repeals a restriction on local governments, barring them from introducing restrictions on plastic materials that are more stringent than the state’s.

A new record for council ballots - and a fiasco L

his is downright disgusting and an embarrassment to the Westminster city government and community. The task at hand for the six-member CROSS city council was to CURRENTS select a new council member to fill Anita Seitz unexpired City Council term for the next 2½ years. After 99 ballots and 2½ hours, the city council absofailed. They Bill Christopher lutely failed the people of this community and themselves. Out of a plethora of votes cast before they threw in the towel, Mayor Pro Tem DeMott observed that four different council members had voted for candidate Wayne Anderson at different times. Councilor Smith later added her vote for him making it five members, but without any being a majority vote. It would seem that if logic prevailed he would get four or five votes at one time and end the fiasco. However, it appeared to be more of a chess game.

It should not be this difficult Many of the votes from the liberal camp were for Obi Ezeadi or Don Fiddes while Dino Valente and Wayne Anderson garnered the conservative councilors’ votes. Clearly, “political purity”, a term Mayor Seitz had shared with me a few days earlier was at play to some degree with the belabored voting patterns on both sides. An exception to Seitz’s “purity” theory was Dino Valente who is a long-time Democrat. Yet, the three liberals never once voted for him. Dino is an anomaly. If they had shown true concern for the stability and reputation of Westminster’s city government and getting major issues decided over the next four months, Wayne Anderson could have been appointed. Now, the whole circus kicks over to the November 2 ballot, when the empty council seat will be filled by us the voters. Haggling over federal transportation funding We know all too well that our streets, bridges and highways are crumbling. We see it every day. They are in more disrepair today

than in past years. We can’t blame this one on the pandemic! We can blame it on inadequate funding to keep up with a needed level of maintenance and repair to city, county, state and federal transportation infrastructure. We will wait and see what the Republicans end up doing with President Biden’s infrastructure funding plan. What started out as Biden’s $2.3 trillion multi-faceted package – which had way too many subsidiary components included beyond real concrete, asphalt and steel infrastructure – currently sits at roughly $1 trillion after negotiations between the White House and Republican leadership. Hopefully, the President will see the merit in a “half a loaf” with only real infrastructure projects being funded. On this one, I tend to side with the Republicans.

A backdoor approach to raising $5.4 billion for transportation The question on the state transportation funding bill isn’t that the funding is needed. That is clear-cut — we need it and want it. However, the means to the end is not something to jump up and down about with glee.

The backdoor process stinks. To avoid TABOR and voter approval on legitimate taxes for infrastructure, the Democrats crafted a package of revenue-raising “fees” to produce the massive funding for highways/streets, transit and promoting electric vehicles. The most blatant of the “fees” is an initial two-cent-per-gallon “distribution fee” on gasoline which ratchets up to eight cents per gallon by 2028. All of this is on top of the current 22-cent per gallon gas tax. s Folks, this “fee” is a tax plain t and simple. Look for a legal chal- t lenge. The state gasoline tax has needed to be raised for decades but s J not this way. a Then the Dems came up with a creative “fee” which I actually l i like. It is a charge of 27-cents on each delivery to homes and businesses made by Amazon, UPS, food delivery companies and the like. These cars and trucks cause wear and tear on the road systems too so it is only fair they be charged. But, let’s remember, who ultimately pays the fees, charges, taxes. It is us consumers!

Failing to be facile was tassel-related hassle

ou might think being chosen to speak at a high school graduation ceremony would be a welcome opportunity, espeQUIET cially for someone DESPERATION who is filled with opinions and loves the English language. No, I was mortified and begged them to reconsider. The one I gave might have been the worst high Craig Marshall school graduation Smith speech in history. It was humorless, for one thing, and veined with seriosity. That night, inside a ninetydegree gymnasium with humidity outside close to it, flashed before my eyes when I read, “Ousted California principal escorted off campus after graduation speech.” Ben Nakamura, former principal at Stagg High School in Stockton, Calif., “focused more on his grievances with the school district than

the students he was meant to send off in the world,” the article read. I made the same mistake by focusing on myself instead of the group in green gowns sitting behind me, or the parents in front of me who had made sacrifices on behalf of their children, and demonstrated inordinate patience with the menu of problems many teenagers face. The word “ceremony” gives me a pain. Defined as a “ritualistic event with a purpose,” a graduation ceremony is usually a dull affair with too much pomp for me. The ritualistic event with a purpose I am in favor of is called “lunch.” Not the ones with robes and mortarboards. If you’re wondering where a mortarboard gets its name, it comes from the board brickmasons use to hold mortar. They slip, slide, look silly, and come with tassels you’re supposed to move from the right to the left once you’ve graduated. Then what? For some reason,

you’re expected to throw the mortarboard in the air. “Student loses sight in one eye from mortarboard incident.” I should have opened with a joke. “Why did the teacher marry the janitor?” “Because he swept her off her feet.” But I didn’t. Believe it or not, I’d like to do it all over — a Mulligan — and try my best not to be so profound (i.e., pretentious) and avoid clichés like the plague. I’d say something about the teachers too. I don’t know how they do it. Or why. The pay is low, the disrespect high. “Bueller? Bueller? Bueller?” The story goes that the script of “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off” took six days to write. It has its moments. The scene in the Art Institute is the best. The film’s overall theme seems to be that high school is the enemy. Likewise, the overall theme of “The Breakfast Club.” Both movies were written and directed by John Hughes.

High school isn’t the enemy. Neither are the principals nor the teachers. The bullies are. If I were given the opportunity to give my speech over, I’d name the names of the bullies and the ones they bullied. That would be something, wouldn’t it? But there’s a hitch and it’s a big one. The gymnasium is gone, the school is gone, and a third of my classmates are gone. A few died in the war. The speech I gave was years and years ago in an Ohio high school that has since been closed because of low enrollment. I’d close with a joke. Maybe what Charles Schulz said. “Don’t worry about the world coming to an end today. It’s already tomorrow in Australia.” Class of 2021, good luck. You’ll need it.

Fatherhood outside the box

ong ago I lived out of a suitcase and performed in a soul band for six years. The band was the Satisfactions, a mix of Midwestern and CROSS Washington, D.C. CURRENTS musicians that played one-to-fourweek bookings in nightclubs. We played a half-dozen major cities and many smaller ones — International Falls, Minnesota to the Mikkel Kelly far north; Joplin, Missouri to the south; Camp Springs, Maryland to the east; and Casper, Wyoming to the west. It was a simpler time. I had a suitcase, three suit bags, a tough Jean-Paul Germain gray raincoat and my guitar gear. My one monthly bill was $90 for Blue Cross health insurance.

CHRISTOPHER FROM PAGE 12

Why Westminster is having a recall vote Unfortunately, inaccurate information continues to be circulated on the reason behind the recall effort that started out targeting the mayor and three council members back in August, 2020. First and most fundamental, this recall – which is in compliance with state law and the Westminster City Charter – is an allowed, legal way for citizens to address an issue which they are upset about. We have seen this take place in other cities and with state legislators. Whether we think this is right is a matter of opinion, but it is a part of our democracy. I support such a mechanism. Westminster has a steep requirement on the number of valid signatures to trigger a recall election or pursue an initiative or referendum. It simply is not a “willy nilly” effort that can be easily accomplished. In the case of former Mayor Atchison and City Councilor Voelz, there were sufficient valid signatures to force the recall election. As we know, the mayor claimed health reasons and bailed out. High water rates are not a partisan issue This recall process was borne out of a divided city council over the multi-year water and sewer rate increases initiated in the fall of 2018. The recall effort reflected an effort by the three councilors to “roll back” water rates in July 2020 which failed 4-3 (Atchison, Seitz, Skulley and Voelz prevailed). A frustrated group of citizens then formed the Westminster Water Warriors and the rest is history. From this starting point, some have labeled the recall effort “partisan” trying to tie the conservative side of the city council to being the initiators and/or culprits of this attempt to change the make-up of the city council. I disagree. Don’t take that bait. The three conservatives have been careful not to get involved in the

My father was a hospital administrator and my mother was a registered nurse and community leader. One promise I knew to keep for them was to never go without health insurance. I made an appointment and secured my own policy before finishing my music degree. Soon thereafter, I jumped at the chance to travel and perform. Night life on the road was loud and jazzy, but I do remember my quietest Christmas ever at the Midway Motor Lodge in Elkhart, Indiana. I remember the eerie lapse of life in the hallways of the deserted motel and the half-present expression of the front desk clerk who drew the short straw to cover Christmas Eve graveyard shift. I chose not to squeeze in a trip home to Albuquerque. So there I sat with a parcel from my parents on the small circular side table in my motel room. I explored the gifts inside. I found something small in folded red holiday wrapping paper recall efforts. It was initiated by angry, frustrated citizens who were fed up. This is NOT a partisan issue. It is a politically or policy-driven issue with the two sides clearly holding different justifications to take their respective stands. The conservative side is responding to the people’s complaints and the negative impacts of the high water rates. The liberal side is upholding their belief that utility infrastructure replacements like a new water treatment plant must be financed and built now to assure dependable, quality service. Also, intertwined in this issue is trust – or the lack thereof. One side is very trusting of the city manager and staff in their recommendations while the other side does not trust what Mr. Tripp and staff keep saying. So, let’s put the “partisan” claim in the trash can. This is not a Democrat versus Republican issue. Update on Westminster recall election Councilmember Jon Voelz just won’t give up. As you will recall, the Westminster Water Warriors succeeded in putting him on the July 24 recall ballot by three signatures. He subsequently filed a legal action in district court to intervene in the matter which the judge had already decided directing the Westminster City Clerk to re-evaluate her action on the signatures she previously threw out. That is where the three signature margin came from. There is a new political committee formed to “…oppose the Jon Voelz recall.” Supposedly, this group is raising funds to pay for Voelz’s legal fees. Carol Campbell who was on the city’s Environmental Advisory Committee and resident Priscilla Mancosky are then signatories to establishing the group.

at the bottom of the box. Inside the paper was my father’s Naval Aviator Badge from his days flying Douglas A2D planes from an aircraft carrier. I knew how much the Navy meant to him. I was in awe of his service, photos and great stories, but I wasn’t quite sure what to make of this gift. I said my thanks in a holiday phone call back home, where everything was festive and fortissimo. The moments flew by with scant talk of the badge. I put it with my other jewelry, and it has been with me ever since. A few years later, my father — at age 56 — made a fast exit from this world when he fell into a coma because of an undiagnosed brain aneurysm. Weeks after his service, I mentioned the badge in the red wrapping paper at a small gathering. A friend who had heard about this gift softly looked into my eyes and told me it was his way of telling

me I had “earned my wings.” She said he was proud I had finished my degree and was very proud I was on an adventure. Suddenly I felt my heart swell. My thoughts spun in all directions. Every so often, I remove the badge from the paper. I think back and feel his affirmation. I love the confident folds in the paper that reflect how he did most things, especially driving — fast. This paper I cherish has no words on it. And his aviator badge is true treasure. I am amazed how quiet gestures have such lasting power. Here’s to dads everywhere and the many, many ways they show love and support. Happy Father’s Day. Mikkel Kelly is an interim editor at the Englewood office for Colorado Community Media.

OBITUARIES FIORINO

EMILIO E. (LEE) FIORINO 1/18/1925 - 5/22/2021

Lee lived a long, healthful, prolific and vibrant life until his passing on May 22, 2021 at age 96. Born of Italian immigrants Emilio Fiorino and Ernestina Tessitore Fiorino in Little Italy, New York City on January 18, 1925, he served with the 204th Combat Engineers in Europe during WWII. After the war, he met the Love of his life, M. Madeleine Turgeon, and married her on September 24, 1949. As a young draftsman, he was selected to draw up safety upgrades for the Empire State Building’s observation deck. Recruited by renowned Denver architect Temple Buell, he moved in 1955 from NYC to Colorado to realize his ambition of becoming a prominent architect himself, and to raise a family in the wide open spaces of the West. In 1965 he designed and built a custom home for his fast growing family near Parker, CO. His several architectural design creations include Denver’s Tiffany Plaza. He retired to Tucson AZ, fulfilling a lifelong dream of living in the desert. There he continued his passion for photography and watercolor painting,

receiving several local and national awards for his work. His deep, abiding love and appreciation of music was a hallmark of his life and inspired the same within each of his children. A man of impeccable integrity, he was dearly loved by many and will be sorely missed. He is survived by his wife of 71 years, Madeleine, their 5 children, Robert, Paul, Michelle, John, and Ted, 11 grandchildren, and 5 great-grandchildren. In lieu of flowers donations can be made in his name to the Rocky Mountain Down Syndrome Association at www.rmdsa.org/ donate, which happens to be located in the Majestic Building that he designed. Celebrations of Life will be held on Saturday July 10th at 2:00 pm in Tucson AZ at the SaddleBrooke Mountain View Ballroom and Sunday July 18th at 4:00 pm in Denver at the Eisenhower Chapel 293 Roslyn St. For more information about Lee or the Celebration of Life go to bit.ly/ EEFiorino.

Gardening always yields something to be proud of Plum Creek Garden Markets offer flowers, vegetables and herbs for the home-grower BY CHRISTY STEADMAN CSTEADMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

ardening is a challenge, yet it is such a satisfying pastime. “Gardening is one giant experiment. But that’s part of the fun of it,” said Keri Luster, manager of Plum Creek Garden Market’s Denver location. “There will be failures and OK, because you’ll learn from those. The key is just to have fun.” During Plum Creek’s off-season, Luster serves as a gardening consultant. “I really like helping people make the world a beautiful place,” Luster said. But not only that, Luster added, “gardening can help you grow as a person. It’s the pride of creating something.” Luster grew up in the gardening industry. Her father owned Groundcovers, which operated for about 40 years in the north University Hills neighborhood. Luster started going to work with her father when she was 12. In 2019, the city of Denver purchased the Groundcovers property and will eventually turn it into a public neighborhood park, Luster said. Gardening can provide you with something to be proud of, Luster said. “It’s hard work, but at the end of the day, you will be satisfied with what you did,” she added. All five of Plum Creek Garden Market’s seasonal pop-up markets opened on late April and are open seven days a week through June. Plum Creek Denver is located at 2150 S. Monaco Pkwy., which is in north Goldsmith. The markets boast more than 700

varieties of plants including perennials, annuals, vegetables, some fruits, herbs and some shrubs; as well as plants in hanging baskets; some accessories such as pots; and bagged goods such as soils, compost and fertilizers. “There were a lot of new gardeners starting to get into it last year because everyone was stuck at home,” said Matt Niemann, who oversees the operations of all five Plum Creek Garden Markets. “People wanted to make their home as beautiful as possible.”

An industry goal this year, Niemann added, is to keep all those new gardeners interested in their new-found passion. “And one way to do that is to them be successful,” Niemann said. There’s always something new to learn — whether beginner or expert — and the more time a person spends around plants, the more knowledge that person will absorb, Niemann said. “The enjoyment of gardening is SEE GARDENING, P15

Building a history of architecture in Denver COMING ATTRACTIONS

Clarke Reader

ne of my favorite things about a city is the symphony of architectural and design styles that go into making it a vibrant and dynamic place to spend time. And History Colorado’s latest exhibit, “Building Denver: Visions of the Capital City,” takes people behind the scenes of the histories and meaning behind the Mile High City’s built environment. “We’ve been working on this exhibit for two years, and we want it to share the vision and stories of the architecture,” said Anna Mascorella, exhibit curator with History Colorado. “We’re looking for key moments that transform the city, including the many works of fantastic local architects and nationally-known architects.” Building Denver is on display at the History Colorado Center, 1200 Broadway in Denver, through Aug. 31, 2022. Numerous

events are being held during the next yearand-a-half as well as connected exhibits like Black in Denver, Five Points Plus: Neighborhood Memory Project and Brick and Soul. There will also be guided tours and treks for people who want a more boots-on-the-ground look at the city’s styles through Saturday, June 26. According to provided information, the exhibit uses its 3,000 square feet to examine the city from 1860 to modern times and centers on how the capital has changed during those last more than 150 years. Divvied up into five sections (a new city, a beautiful city, a contested city, a great city and a resilient city), it makes use of 2-D artifacts like maps and photos, as well as items like architectural models and drafting tools and historic pieces like an original light post from I.M. Pei’s 16th Street Mall. Building Denver isn’t only a look back —

incorporated into the exhibit is a thoughtful consideration of what the future of the city looks like, especially with challenges like climate change, the push and pull between development and preservation and cutting down on social disparities. “It was important that we featured a look at how architectural and design choices impact our daily lives,” Mascorella explained. “We want people to see themselves as active participants in the development of Denver. We know it’s not just architects and designers who build a city — residents and communities make an impact through advocacy and historic preservation.” The fact that Denver is always changing might be something some people complain about, but the exhibit highlights that it’s really worthy of celebration.

B-Side Music Fridays returning to museum MCA events will be offered both online and in person BY MAGGIE DONAHUE DENVERITE

MCA Denver is bringing its summer concert series, B-Side Music Fridays, back to its museum rooftop and to your screen. Every Friday evening starting July 9, guests can enjoy summer concerts from the MCA’s roof or livestreamed from MCA’s website. The shows will feature local talent like psychedelic rock band The Kinky Fingers and Los Mocochetes, a popular Xicanx funk band. “B-side Music Fridays are a longstanding summer tradition at MCA Denver and it is thrilling to be able to bring the musicians and music fans back onto our rooftop this summer,” said Sarah Baie, the MCA’s director of programming. “We learned a lot from our experience streaming the concerts onto people’s devices last year, so we plan to continue offering that option for free for people who aren’t able to see the shows in person.” While the MCA’s exhibition space has been open to visitors for almost a year now, the museum has been gradually transitioning to more

“We really hope people see Denver in a new light and learn about the decisions that have defined the city,” Mascorella said. “It never has been a static city, and with things changing so fast in this current decade, now is a great opportunity to understand and see the city in a new way.” To schedule a visit and more information about the exhibit and many related activities, visit www. historycolorado.org/buildingdenver.

Last summer, the MCA co-hosted a virtual B-Side Music Friday online in partnership with Indie 102.3 (which Colorado Public Radio, Denverite’s parent company, owns), and this spring the MCA hosted a somewhatin-person concert series called Garageband. Guests sat at reserved tables on the museum roof as bands performed from the opposite roof atop the parking garage across the street. In-person tickets to B-Side Music Fridays will be limited to encourage safe distancing. Unvaccinated adults

and children will be asked to wear face coverings at the shows. Fully vaccinated visitors can do without. Doors to B-side Music Fridays open at 6:30 p.m., and sets will begin at 7 and at 8. General admission tickets start at $25.20 for MCA members and $30 for non-members. Indoor and outdoor four-top tables run from $100.80 for MCA members and $120 for non-members. You can buy tickets at the museum, or stream shows online for free. The lineup is: • Vic N’ The Narwhals plus The Kinky Fingers on July 9

• Specific Ocean plus Neoma on July 16 • Joseph Lamar plus Corsicana on July 23 • Devin Tremell plus Lily Fangz on July 30 • Gestalt plus Down Time on August 6 • Dog City Disco plus Los Mocochetes on August 13

thing they can eat, such as herbs or vegetables, Niemann said. Every situation is different, he added, but there is always a solution to any problem someone might be having in their gardening endeavor. It’s helpful for many people to visit a gardening center and talk with the experts who can provide all sorts of advice and knowledge, Niemann said. Coupar Lester of Denver’s Cory-

Merrill neighborhood has been gardening as a homeowner for about 20 years but starting helping his grandmother with her garden when he was a teenager. Lester finds gardening therapeutic and relaxing, and enjoys flowers because of the color they add to his yard. But he and his wife enjoy cooking, and especially so with fresh ingredients, so Lester’s garden includes a variety of

vegetables ranging from tomatoes and cucumbers to squash and peppers, as well as an assortment of herbs such as rosemary, basil, thyme and cilantro. The Lesters even have a peach tree they can harvest. “Gardening will give you a creative outlet to do something outdoors,” Lester said. After all, he added, “Colorado has a lot of wonderful days to be spent outside.”

Scenic rail lines are Colorado gems From the Front Range west, many trips offer opportunities for wonder BY SETH BOSTER DENVER GAZETTE

This summer’s revival of The Broadmoor Manitou and Pikes Peak Cog Railway — previously feared lost in the face of a major overhaul — represents the gritty persistence of Colorado’s scenic trains. They refuse to fade since their frontier births. Where many once connected commerce in the West, now they stir nostalgic imaginations. Here’s a look at some options: Cripple Creek & Victor Narrow Gauge Railroad (Adult fares $15, cripplecreekrailroad.com) Celebrating one of Colorado’s most storied gold bases, the locomotive departs a vintage depot and tours mining history scattered across the Pikes Peak foothills. Enjoy narration about Echo Valley along the way as well as views of forests and the Sangre de Cristos. Royal Gorge Route Railroad (Adult fares $54, royalgorgeroute. com) An unforgettable journey between the mighty Arkansas River

and the rocky walls of the iconic gorge west of Cañon City. The scene is beheld from an open-air platform and also from window-paneled cars, venues for romantic rendezvous. The train is unique for its gourmet meals and luxurious flair. Leadville, Colorado & Southern Railroad (Adult fares $42, leadville-train. com) The train takes off from Colorado’s famous gold epicenter and rises 1,000 feet to more colorful realms of wildflower meadows and aspen groves. While zigzagging toward the Continental Divide, you’ll hear tales of Leadville’s heyday. Georgetown Loop Railroad (Adult fares $28, georgetownlooprr.com) The route is iconic for the bridges standing hundreds of feet from the valley floor — engineering marvels when built and still thrilling to traverse a century later. While relatively short, the steam engine grants true grandeur in a steep, narrow canyon. Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad (Adult fares $85, cumbrestoltec. com) This line is a proud throwback, a coal-fired steamer churning on as it has since the 1880s. It winds more than 60 miles from Antonito to Chama, N.M., through underappreciated terrain on Colorado’s southern edge, through swaths of aspen

that glow gold in the fall and over a mountain pass above 10,000 feet. California Zephyr (Fares from $37, amtrak.com) If you’re looking for a vintage mold, this modern train doesn’t fit. But the natural spoils are there; Amtrak knows the stretch between downtown Denver and Glenwood Springs as one of the most scenic across its national network, featuring the vertical wonderland of Glenwood Canyon. Spend a night in Glenwood, enjoy the hot springs and catch the train back to Union Station.

Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad (Adult fares $99, durangotrain. com) A stunning journey through the heart of the San Juans, arguably Colorado’s most spectacular countryside. Ambitious backpackers know the lift as necessary to reach treasured trailheads while sightseers are plenty satisfied staying on board all the way to Silverton, a charming town that appears frozen in time.

Visitors celebrate returning to Mount Evans highway BY CORINNE WESTEMAN CWESTEMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Motorists line up at the entrance of the Mount Evans Scenic Byway near Echo Lake Friday morning. When the gates opened at 8 a.m., there were about 40 vehicles already PHOTOS BY CORINNE WESTEMAN in line to enter.

SUMMER GALLERY EXHIBITIONS MAY 20 — AUGUST 22, 2021 Make your free reservation to visit these three engaging exhibitions!

Aurora’s Robin Brilz has visited Mount Evans many times — at least once or twice a year annually for more than 50 years. Until the pandemic and all its complications prevented her and thousands of others from seeing the summit last year. The Mount Evans Scenic Byway remained closed to motor vehicle traffic last summer because of health and safety concerns for the U.S. Forest Service staff and general public. So, the only visitors last year were cyclists, trail runners, researchers, and trail restoration volunteers. On June 4, though, the highway reopened to the general motoring public for the first time since September 2019. At 8 a.m., the gates near Echo Lake were thrown open and dozens of cars briefly stopped at the welcome station before starting the 14-mile ascent. At the summit, photographers, skiers, out-of-state tourists and other visitors were reveling in the long-awaited panoramas and the breathtakingly blue sky. “We’re a very happy bunch,” Brilz said of the first wave of visitors. “I missed it last year, and I wanted to make sure to have that experience this year.” While the highway is now open for the season, the U.S. Forest Service is requiring reservations for those wishing to visit and park between 8 a.m. and 6:30 p.m. Reservations can be made online at recreation.gov up to a month in advance. Brilz said she wasn’t sure how she felt about the reservation system yet, but understood the general need to balance access to land with preservation efforts. USFS staff have stated that the system can be adapted as necessary, but it already seems to be streamlining the entrance process. Clear Creek District Ranger Scott Haas reported that the welcome station staff cleared the initial line of 40-plus cars in 20 minutes. Under

the USFS’ previous fee system, a line that long would’ve taken about 90 minutes to process. “It’s an exciting day,” Haas said of the highway’s reopening, adding that he was proud of all the stakeholders’ work to make it happen. While waiting in line before 8 a.m., John Tufano, a resident of Golden and Silverthorne, was among those planning to visit the mountain’s snowfields and ski a few runs between the summit and the lake below. While he’s visited the mountain before, he said it was his first time skiing there. Looking back at the growing line of cars, he remarked, “People want to get back to the way life used to be.” At the head of the line was Denver’s Howard Paul, who had been waiting at the gate since 4:50 a.m., explaining that he wasn’t sure when that morning it was supposed to open. “I have been waiting for this day for a year,” Paul said. The wildlife photographer and Alpine Rescue Team volunteer visits the area frequently during the summer. He’s typically at the summit around sunrise to photograph the mountain goats and their young, and then stops at the Echo Lake Lodge for cinnamon rolls afterward. “I’m glad we’re getting back to a sense of normalcy,” Paul continued.

DOUBLE TROUBLE

Skyview’s Isaac Gutierrez begins his adventure to catch this pop fly during the first game of a doubleheader at Fort Lupton June 10. Eventually, Gutierrez caught the ball before sliding to a stop to the first-base side of the pitcher’s mound. Skyview took both ends of the doubleheader by scores of 12-0 and 13-1. Both games were mercy ruleshortened contests.

Skyview’s Ivan Gullezos corrals this fall ball as his teammate, Bryan Gutierrez, moves toward second base during the first game of a doubleheader in Fort Lupton June 10. Skyview took both ends of the doubleheader by scores of 12-0 and 13-1. Both games were mercy rule-shortened contests.

World Cup could come to Denver in 2026 BY PAOLO ZIALCITA DENVERITE

The dramatic win over Mexico in the CONCACAF Nations League Final on June 6 was huge for the U.S. Men’s National Soccer Team and its supporters. A bigger victory could be coming for the host city, though, when FIFA officials choose hosts for the 2026 Men’s World Cup. The 2026 World Cup — soccer’s most prestigious competition — will be jointly hosted by 16 cities across the United States, Canada and Mexico. Of America’s 17 candidates, only 10 will make the final list. Denver’s Empower Field at Mile High is one of them. The Nations League semifinals, third-place game and final were moved to Empower Field from Texas in late April, due to coronavirus complications.

For many Coloradans, the weekend was a chance to show FIFA why Denver is the right stage for the international competition. “I think this game was really important for us to show how big the fan base is. You can’t just look at a Rapids game and say, `That’s the entire fan base,’” said Robert Wilson, president of American Outlaws Denver, U.S. Soccer’s official supporters group. “There’s a lot more people here that will go up, especially for a game here at Mile High, downtown.” Both USMNT games at Mile High were sold out, though there was still limited capacity due to the pandemic. The June 6 third-place game between Honduras and Costa Rica sold out, as did the June 3 semifinal between Mexico and Costa Rica. SEE WORLD CUP, P21

WORLD CUP FROM PAGE 20

American Outlaws Denver’s Hallie Guardo said those games needed to go well, too, because there’s no guarantee the USMNT will even play in Denver if it’s chosen as a host city. She said fans of the sport needed to prove they’ll turn up for any World Cup game, regardless of the teams playing. “We’ve got a lot of different cultures represented that would turn out for any team that’s playing,” she said. American Outlaws national board member Donald Wine flew in from Washington, D.C. to watch the Nations League final. He said he’s been impressed with Denver whenever international play comes to the city and that he wouldn’t be surprised if FIFA chooses Mile High as a venue. “I think they actually have a good chance. Denver has always been a great city, and has always been a great host for different matches,” he said. “They’ve done Gold Cup. They’ve done Nations League, obviously they’ve done men’s national team, women’s national team. They’ve had the Mexico national team play here for friendlies. So I wouldn’t count Denver out at all.” If chosen, Denver could attract fans from bordering states that don’t have any

candidate cities. Ana Alvarez came up from New Mexico, which has never hosted a U.S. international game, to watch Mexico play this weekend. “I’m super excited ‘cause we’re so close and we’ve been here for previous games,” she said. “It’s like my dream to go to the World Cup and it’s going to happen soon.” It’s not yet clear who will play in the 2026 World Cup, since the 2022 World Cup qualifiers haven’t even finished. But 2026 will see a format change, where the tournament will expand to 48 teams. That means national teams that have missed out on tournaments of past, like Chile, Ireland and Ivory Coast, all have a larger chance of qualifying. FIFA officials plan to announce the World Cup host cities later this year. Stadiums such as Dallas’ AT&T Stadium and Los Angeles’ Rose Bowl are among the U.S. candidates. Toronto and Mexico City have nominated BMO Field and Estadio Azteca, respectively. If Denver is chosen as a host, it will be the city’s first appearance in a World Cup. The U.S. has hosted the tournament three times: once for the men’s in 1994, and twice for the women’s in 1999 and 2003. CPR’s John Daley contributed to this report.

Matthew S. Poznanovic, Eric K. Trout, Hayes Poznanovic Korver LLC, 1999 Broadway, Suite 3200, Denver, CO 80202. APPLICATION FOR FINDING OF REASONABLE DILIGENCE AND TO MAKE ABSOLUTE, IN ADAMS AND WELD COUNTIES. Prior Decree Information: Originally decreed in Case No. 12CW180 on March 10, 2015. The period of diligence which is the subject of this application is from the date of the Case No. 12CW180 decree (“12CW180 Decree”). A diligence notice was sent to Fort Lupton, but the case number included on the notice was incorrect. As a result, the Court determined that it did not send a timely Notice to Fort Lupton to file for a finding of diligence pursuant to C.R.S. § 37-92305(7).

Well No. 2: 1165 feet from the west section line, 360 feet from the north section line. Well No. 3: 955 feet from the west section line, 700 feet from the north section line. Sources of Substitute Supply: Water available under Fort Lupton’s Fulton Shares changed in Case Nos. 12CW180 and 03CW119 which is not needed for immediate augmentation use or for replacement of return flows may be returned from the Fulton Ditch to the South Platte River at one or more augmentation stations from the Fulton Ditch and diverted by exchange into the Perry Pit East Reservoir to be stored for all decreed uses, including use in Fort Lupton’s plan for augmentation and for replacement of delayed return flows from the change of Fulton Shares under the 03CW119 decree. Effluent resulting from use of Windy Gap project water in Fort Lupton’s municipal water system, including from up to 13 total owned or leased Windy Gap units not needed for immediate augmentation will be stored by exchange in the Perry Pit East Reservoir and released for the uses described in the 12CW180 Decree and 03CW119 decree, including to meet Fort Lupton’s augmentation and return flow replacement obligations under the 12CW180 Decree and 03CW119 decree. Priority Date of Exchange: July 25, 2012. Amount: A cumulative rate 6.69 cfs, of which 0.66 cfs was decreed absolute in the 12CW180 Decree, and 6.03 cfs was decreed conditional. Exhibit A contains the maximum rates at which water may be exchanged from each individual point where replacement water is introduced to the South Platte River, but the cumulative total rate of exchange shall not exceed 6.69 cfs. Uses: All uses for which the substitute supplies are decreed, including augmentation of the depletions resulting from pumping of Well Nos. 1-3 and uses made under Fort Lupton’s plan for augmentation as described in the decree in Case No. 03CW119. CLAIM TO MAKE ABSOLUTE Following entry of the 12CW180 Decree, Well Nos. 1, 2 and 3 have operated and the pumped water has been put to decreed beneficial use at times during 2013 through 2015 and 2018 through May 2021. The pumped water is delivered into storage in the Perry Pit East Reservoir and subsequently put to the decreed uses. The resulting lagged out of priority well depletions have been replaced under Fort Lupton’s plan for augmentation and the Fort Lupton Exchange. The Fort Lupton Exchange operated in priority on June 16, 2018 and February 1-4, 2020. On June 16, 2018, 1.66 cfs of replacement water available under Fort Lupton’s Fulton Shares was introduced into the South Platte River at the Fort Lupton Augmentation Station. During February 1-4, 2020, 0.81 cfs of replacement water available from effluent resulting from use of Windy Gap project water in Fort Lupton’s municipal water system was discharged into the South Platte River at the Fort Lupton wastewater treatment plant. The replacement water was exchanged in priority to replace an equivalent amount of well pumping depletions by Well Nos. 1, 2 and 3. In addition to the previously decreed absolute exchange amount of 0.66 cfs, Fort Lupton requests that 1.0 cfs of the Fort Lupton Exchange be made absolute for all decreed uses. In the alternative and if this amount is not made absolute, Fort Lupton requests a diligence finding also be made to continue this amount pursuant to the activities described below. CLAIM FOR A FINDING OF REASONABLE DILIGENCE This Application for Finding of Reasonable Diligence is filed pursuant to the Water Right Determination and Administration Act of 1969, Sec. 37-92-302, C.R.S. During this diligence period, in continuing the development of the conditional water rights, Fort Lupton has been engaged in the legal defense and protection of the water rights, has been diligent in the continued use and development of the water rights, including expenditures for legal, engineering, construction and maintenance work, and has made a steady application of effort to complete the appropriations in a reasonably expedient and efficient manner. These activities include, but are not limited to, the following: Construction of terminal raw water storage connected with Fort Lupton’s water treatment plant, including surveys, design, construction drawings, engineering and geotechnical work and water quality analysis at a cost of more than $500,000. Fort Lupton’s consultant performed operations and maintenance work and measured reservoir levels at the Perry Pit East Reservoir at an approximate cost of $353,298. Installation of meter pits and meters on Well Nos. 1-3 and verification of meter accuracy at a cost of $25,806.24. Replacement of the pump for Well Nos. 1-3 at a cost of $12,869.45. Repair of the discharge pump for the Perry Pit East Reservoir at a cost of $5,418.12. Fort Lupton’s consultant performed routine maintenance on the Fort Lupton Augmentation Station. The monthly accounting for the Case No. 12CW180 augmentation plan that includes the Fort Lupton Exchange is prepared, maintained, and provided to the Office of the Division Engineer, and consultant fees associated with preparing the accounting was in excess of $27,000. Applicant’s consultant prepared updates to the accounting forms for the Case No. 12CW180 augmentation plan that includes the Fort Lupton Exchange at a cost of $6,000. Fort Lupton diverted and beneficially used water under the Fort Lupton Exchange as described above. During the diligence period, legal counsel for Fort Lupton has reviewed the resume of applications as published by the Water Clerk for Water Division 1 and advised Fort Lupton whether Statements of Opposition need to be filed to protect the water rights, and protection of water rights by opposition to water court applications. Fort Lupton has incurred additional expenses for legal, consulting, and engineering work. 7.12 The work and expenditures listed above are illustrative and not exhaustive. Additional work and additional or revised expenditures may be claimed in support of this application. Names and addresses of owners of land upon which structures for the water rights are located: Well Nos. 1-3 and Perry Pit East Reservoir: Consolidated Mutual Water Company, 12700 W 27th Ave, Lakewood, CO 80215. Fort Lupton requests that this Court enter a decree finding that Fort Lupton has made an additional 1.0 cfs of the conditional water rights for the Fort Lupton Exchange absolute for all uses as described above, has exercised reasonable

diligence in the development of the remaining conditional water rights, continuing the conditional water rights for another diligence period, and for such other and further relief as the Court deems just and proper in the premises. 5 pages.
