Thornton residents rally for shopping center cleanup Though remediation has started at Thornton Shopping Center, neighbors want it done quicker BY LIAM ADAMS LADAMS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
A rally at the Thornton Shopping Center showed the site continues to be a social and political lightning rod in south Thornton. The owner of the rundown site began cleaning up structural, aesthetic and chemical deficiencies after years of neglect. Some neighbors remain upset about the pace of cleanup and a seeming lack of accountability for property owner Jay Brown. Signs at the April 3 rally read, “Hold slum lords accountable,”
“No chemicals in our community,” “Clean it up now,” “Clean up our home” and “Environmental justice now.” The event was organized by two local activist groups, the West Adams County Collective and Unify Thornton. Their list of grievances included accountability for owner Jay Brown – who escaped having to pay fines in January at a sentencing hearing for 76 city code violations — and the cleanup of asbestos and perchloroethylene (PERC), a drycleaning chemical. Brown didn’t begin PERC remediation until after the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) sued him in Adams County district court, leading the judge to issue an injunction against him in December. The PERC seeped into the groundwater of areas surrounding the property, SEE RALLY, P4

Adams County judge sides with Westminster recall group City clerk has until April 28 to issue new decision on recall petitions BY LIAM ADAMS LADAMS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
An Adams County district court judge ruled in favor of the Westminster recall group, the Westminster Water Warriors, in its lawsuit against the city and ordered Westminster City Clerk Michelle Parker to re-review petitions she previously rejected. The decision follows a contentious, months-long effort to recall Mayor Herb Atchison, Mayor Pro Tem Anita Seitz and City Councilors Kathryn Skulley and Jon Voelz for supporting water rate increases.
The Water Warriors said in an email it believes the city clerk’s forthcoming review will yield a certification of petitions and trigger a recall election, though the city’s regular election is months away. “The wait is over – We won this battle!!!!!” said the Water Warriors, whose attorney in the case was former Colorado Secretary of State Scott Gessler. As of April 17, the city was not immediately available to provide a response. Judge Kyle Seedorf sided with the Water Warriors’ argument that Parker used overly stringent methods to disqualify 80 petition sections. The Water Warriors, the city and Seedorf agreed that many petitions didn’t comply with city code, but “the extent of noncompliance with state or municipal law is minimal,” Seedorf wrote in his April 16 order.
INSIDE: CALENDAR: PAGE 9 | VOICES: PAGE 10 | LIFE: PAGE 12 | SPORTS: PAGE 14
The main dispute was about coversheets on the petitions that circulators removed when they were collecting signatures. In 66 petition sections, there was evidence circulators removed the cover sheets, or unstapled them from the rest of the packet. Circulators later re-stapled the cover sheets for those petitions. Parker disqualified fourteen other petition sections that were submitted without the cover sheet on the front that were inserted elsewhere in the petition packet submission, Seedorf’s order said. The city argued the cover page is a safeguard against circulators misleading signatories to believe that a recall election would immediately reduce water rates. However, Seedorf said that argument had “no credible evidence.” Seedorf added, “This result best recognizes the fundamental right
of recall, the obligation to liberally construe the statutes to support that right, and to strictly construe any limitations on the power of recall.” Parker also cited an insufficient number of valid signatures as another reason for not certifying recall petitions. The Water Warriors submitted its first batch of petitions on October 30, 2020 and received a certificate of insufficiency. Then, the group withdrew its petitions to cure and obtain more signatures. They submitted an amended version on Nov. 30, 2020. The group claimed its resubmittal contained enough valid signatures, only to find Parker issue a final certificate of insufficiency, partly due to the cover sheet issue. Parker has until April 28 to issue a new decision on the recall petitions.

Northglenn declares first drought stage BY LIAM ADAMS LADAMS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
With Northglenn’s water supply lower than average, city councilors unanimously voted at an April 12 meeting to declare drought stage one. The drought declaration vote followed another unanimous vote to approve the city’s first drought mitigation and response plan. The first drought stage is defined by voluntary restrictions, similar to the drought watch that Westminster enacted in March. Thornton has yet to activate its first drought stage for the season. “We are still seeing significantly low storage in Standley Lake,” said
Tamara Moon, Northglenn’s environmental manager, at the April 12 meeting. A major snowstorm in March slightly relieved anxieties about water supply for the spring and summer. However, Northglenn anticipates its Standley Lake water storage in June to be about 5,300 acre-feet, short of its 7,000 AF maximum amount, Moon said. The city’s new drought mitigation plan provides exact measurements to guide the city’s decision-making. The city responded to previous droughts in 2002 and 2013 in less exact ways, the plan summarized. The new plan matches each drought stage to water storage measurements and outlines
what the response should be. The first drought stage that council declared is defined by voluntary restrictions, meaning the city will ask residents to limit outdoor watering to two to three days a week. People can choose those days they water on. It will also encourage people to limit new landscape installation unless they are converting to xeriscape. The city will plan to reduce water consumption at its facilities by 10 percent. Moon said the city will likely remain in the first stage throughout the summer, although that’s subject to change based on water supply conditions. In the drought mitigation plan’s
second stage, the city would mandate people to water outdoors no more than two or three days a week and prohibit the installation of new turf. At stage three, irrigation of turf and annual landscaping is prohibited, and the city would assess surcharges to offset losses in utility revenue. Also, people wouldn’t be able to refill pools or wash their cars in driveways. The city would install flow restriction devices or shut off water for non-compliant users. That level would only be triggered when the city is experiencing a multi-year drought. The fourth stage would go as far to not allow permitting of new water service connections.
Thornton annexes 357-acres for new development BY LIAM ADAMS LADAMS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Thornton just grew by 357 acres, per a 7-1 vote by Thornton City Council at an April 13 meeting. After a public hearing, the council approved the annexation in northwest Thornton and two other measures to move the Clear Creek mixeduse development ahead. Though the project will require many other approvals before it materializes, the plan is to build industrial warehouses, residential units and retail space. “It’s a beautiful project, it’s going to
help our city moving forward,” said Councilman Sam Nizam. “We need those kinds of builds. Also, it’s going to have retail, which is close to my heart. It’s important for our city to generate income.” Located north of 144th Avenue and in between Washington Street and York Street, the property’s northern portion will have 75-foot-high warehouses. The bottom portion will include single-family detached homes, single-family attached homes and multi-family units. There will be three distinct commercial areas and 55 acres of parks and open space, in-

cluding a central park with a sports field and tennis court. In the future, the council will need to approve each distinct zoning designation. At the April 13 meeting, in addition to the annexation, the council only approved the zoning associated with the overall development plan and conceptual site plan. Yet some council members already expressed concerns about the housing. Councilor Jacque Phillips, who represents Ward 1 in south Thornton, said, “I believe in balanced housing and so when we see something going up north that is low-density housing with some beautiful parks, and it looks really nice. But down in the south end, we have to look at high-density housing and very limited parks.” Though Phillips seemed to be making a larger point about differences in how Thornton is developed, Diana Rael, a representative of Norris Design, sought to respond by highlighting the plans to build a diversity of housing types. “Our intent is to provide a very eclectic blend of housing,” Rael said. After, Councilor Julia Marvin commented that diversity in housing type doesn’t necessarily equal variety in housing costs, a point that
community members made during a public hearing for a different development two weeks prior. Rael said the developers don’t currently have housing cost estimates. Marvin was the only dissenting vote on the measures. The only minor hiccup of the April 13 public hearing was a discussion about oil and gas wells currently operational in that area. Developers plan to plug up and abandon the oil wells when they build the development in future years. However, Extraction Oil & Gas, the company that currently manages the wells, doesn’t anticipate doing that as of right now, said Extraction attorney Julia Rhine during the public comments portion of the hearing. Extraction must agree to plug up and abandon the wells, the city cannot force the company to do it, she said. Rhine said that the council is voting on an overall conceptual site plan that anticipates abandoning and plugging up the wells, even that’s not presently guaranteed. Clarke Carlson, a developer with Carlson Associates, Inc., said his company began negotiating with Extraction years ago and will continue to do so until they reach an agreement.
Anythink’s Civic Saturday returns STAFF REPORT
Anythink Library’s effort to promote Civic responsibility continues Saturday, tackling the theme of building Abundant communities. The discussion will be hosted on the Zoom networking platform from 9:30-11 a.m. The event is free and open to all. Registration is required at anythinklibraries.org. A link to the meeting will be sent to all registrants in advance. “At Anythink, we’re all about creating opportunities. Opportunities to connect, to learn, to grow,” Anythink Director of Strategic Partnerships Stacie Ledden said in a written statement. “Civic Saturday provides an opportunity to be an engaged citizen, to talk about issues that are important to our community, and to connect with others
passionate about civic engagement. These important conversations help us to build a stronger community as participants rather than bystanders.” Civic Saturday was first started by Citizen University, a Seattle-based organization dedicated to building a culture of powerful, responsible citizenship in the U.S. To help spread the initiative outside of Seattle, Citizen University trains individuals and organizations from across the country, including Anythink, on how to host Civic Saturdays in their own communities. This will be Anythink’s fifth Civic Saturday, and the library has more dates planned in 2021 as it works to expand the initiative. The latest information on Civic Saturday at Anythink can be found at anythinkliraries.org/civicsaturday.

Weather service gives training for prospective spotters UPCOMING WEATHER SPOTTER CLASSES
BY STEVE SMITH SSMITH@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Updrafts. Downdrafts. Mammatus. Funnels. Land spouts. Lightning. At some point during a two-hour online severe weather spotter training class April 14, National Weather Service meteorologist Scott Entrekin explained these weather terms and types of clouds to 235 people interested in becoming severe weather spotters. It’s one in a series of seminars the weather service offers in advance of severe weather season. The explanations included the various types of thunderstorms common (single-cell, multi-cell and supercell, the type more likely to cause tornadoes) in this area. All require air to flow into the clouds. The amount of wind determines the type of storm. “In a single cell storm, the winds are weak, and you can’t really tell the updraft and the downdraft,” Entrekin said. “After the heating of the day, there’s usually good updrafting. You can see well-defined edges to the clouds” like the shape of a cauliflower. The multi-cell storms have a series of up and downdrafts. Entrekin said storms can last about 30 minutes,
Three more severe weather spotter classes are available through the National Weather Service. All are online because of the pandemic. The next one is at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, April 20, for the mountain and foothills areas. The link is https:// attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/9161453452458099979 A training for pilots is set for 10 a.m. Saturday, April 24. The link is https:// attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/2354239525943475211. The final scheduled seminar is at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, May 13. The link is https:// attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/205008755345642256 To schedule training and request more information on Skywarn, contact Scott. Entrekin@noaa.gov but the complex can last for several hours. Supercell storms contain rotation in the clouds. Another key ingredient for these types of storms is wind shear, a rapid change in either velocity or direction. “If you stand under a hose with no wind, you’re probably going to get wet,” Entrekin said. “But if you stand under a hose with strong winds, those winds take the water away from you. Wind can cause a storm to tilt.” Entrekin highlighted two other storm features. One is a wall cloud, which tends to form at the back edge of a storm and in an area free of

cymakers drag their feet in getting these communities cleaned up,” said Cristal Cisneros, a neighbor whose doctoral research at the University of Colorado Denver was on environmental racism and justice. The rally also drew city council candidates Roberta Ayala for Ward 2 and Karen Bigelow for Ward 4. The shopping center is in Ward 1, but Ayala said she was there to protest, “the chemical spill and the environmental racism.” “We got to a point where enough is enough,” Ayala added.

but there isn’t evidence it got into nearby waterways, such as the Clear Creek. The PERC isn’t just a health hazard, it’s an issue of environmental justice, protesters said. “Typically, and historically, communities of color have been targets of environmental hazards … When that happens, lawmakers and poli-

rain. “When you see a wall cloud, there is a lot of in-flow,” Entrekin said. “A shelf cloud is linear and slopes away from the rain. A wall cloud moves with the rain.” Outflow winds, winds that come from the bottom of the clouds, can lead to storms in other areas. In some cases, they can cause strong winds up to 2½ miles away. In some cases, those winds can cover larger distances. The front edge of a thunderstorm is a shelf cloud, which tends to create a lot of wind and rain.
Entrekin also discussed last year’s derecho, the wind event that started in Utah, went through the Rockies and on up into the Dakotas. The weather service received more than 200 reports of winds that were more than 58 mph. One thing Entrekin stressed to the spotters was safety. “When thunder roars, go indoors,” he said. “Victims of lightning strikes are not charged, so it’s OK to touch them. Wait 30 minutes after you see the last lightning bolt before you go back outside.” Email Scott.Entrekin@noaa.gov.
Bigelow agreed, saying the cleanup “has only come to a head recently and this should’ve been handled years ago.” At a Thornton City Council meeting on April 13, Councilor Jacque Phillips, who represents Ward 1, addressed some of the concerns expressed at the rally. She said there will be updates on the shopping center every two weeks at city council planning sessions, an additional layer of communication to the city’s web page. “I think it’s important for us to get
that information to the community so that everybody understands that there’s actually a lot of work happening regarding Thornton Shopping Center,” Phillips said. Brown is scheduled to appear before Municipal Judge Charles Rose on May 12 to give an update on efforts to address city code violations. If Rose determines Brown isn’t moving quickly enough, the judge might reconsider fines. A CDPHE representative recently informed Brown he had until June 1 to clean up the PERC.

Plans for Adams 12 proms and graduation solidified BY LIAM ADAMS LADAMS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Adams 12 Five Star Schools is having prom and graduation, Superintendent Chris Gdowski updated the board at an April 7 meeting. The district’s five high schools are all having proms. The first one occurred on April 17, Gdowski said. Most will be outdoors on astroturf, and students will be in cohorts not to exceed 10 people. “We want to do our best to give our students the opportunity we can within those parameters,” Gdowski said. Meanwhile, the district has officially decided to hold graduations at
North Stadium in Westminster. Adams 12 is still trying to pin down the exact social distancing requirement for guests, three feet or six, which will determine how many people graduates can invite. Also at the meeting, Gdowski updated the board about preliminary brainstorming for the fall 2021 semester. Right now, executive leadership is trying to decide on remote learning, since about 1,150 students, or about 10 percent of the current number of students in remote learning, indicated in a March survey they are interested in the format for the fall. Leadership is weighing that consideration with planning for in-person learning.
Classrooms cannot have too many students, but it also doesn’t make the most financial sense to staff a classroom with too few students, Gdowski explained. All these considerations will impact the district’s planning for staffing, thus how administrators draft the budget. “So, this becomes a more complex budget season than typical,” Gdowski said. Last, Gdowski gave a board meeting farewell to Deputy Superintendent Tracy Dorland, who is the new superintendent of JeffCo Public Schools. The Jeffco school board announced they selected Dorland on March 25 and voted to appoint her at an April 14
meeting. Gdowski said to Dorland at the meeting, while tearing up, “I’m going to miss you, a lot. But I am grateful for all that you have done for this district. I appreciate your friendship; I appreciate your leadership. And I am grateful that Jefferson County is going to have you as their next leader.” Board members also teared up. Dorland responded and thanked Gdowski and the board. She said, “I am just so grateful for the experiences that Adams 12 has provided me. And the opportunity to learn from you, Chris, and others in Adams 12. This is a beautiful district that does amazing work for kids.”
Public health orders to be consistent for Westminster as counties take control BYLIAMADAMS LADAMS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Collaboration between Denver metro county health departments means Westminster’s public health orders will remain consistent these next couple of months. The state is handing over control to county health departments on April 16, leaving Westminster subject to guidance from Jefferson County Public Health and the Tri-County Health Department. However, both counties are collaborating to prevent, as Mayor Herb Atchison expressed concern about at an April 12 meeting, “a patchwork quilt of orders.” Dr. John Douglas, executive director of the Tri-County, announced
at an April 12 press conference that Tri-County and health departments of Denver, Boulder, Broomfield and Jefferson counties are collaborating on public health orders through the Metro Denver Partnership for Health. All the counties decided to extend a modified version of the state’s COVID-19 dial that will move all the counties to level blue restrictions. On April 16, Adams and Jefferson counties moved from stricter level yellow restrictions to level blue. Both Tri-County and Jefferson County’s orders will last until May 15 and then move into Level Clear, an observational period where all restrictions are removed if hospitalizations don’t surge. For more details on Tri-County’s order: https://coloradocommunitymedia.
com/stories/tri-county-board-approvesone-month-extension-to-dial,375133 For more details on Jefferson County’s order: https://jeffcotranscript. com/stories/jeffco-lays-out-two-phasedplan-for-return-to-normalcy,375257 Also, Westminster City Council unanimously voted to retire the city’s mask mandate that’s been in place since May 11, 2020. Westminster residents are still subject to mask orders from the state, Tri-County and Jefferson County. Orders from all three have recently been modified to only require masks to be worn indoors, not outdoors. The city’s mask mandate that councilors voted to terminate on April 12 required masks to be worn inside and outside. Some councilors were initially
reluctant about rescinding the city’s mask mandate, but they changed their minds after City Attorney David Frankel explained wasn’t in alignment with the other orders. The city issued its mandate last May when larger public health entities were slow to act, Frankel said. Yet soon after, those agencies adopted mandates which they modified over time. But Westminster’s mandate stayed the same and it lacked, Frankel said, “a lot of the nuance and detail and changes that have been incorporated.” For more details on Tri-County’s modified mask mandate: coloradocommunitymedia.com/stories/tri-countyhealth-amends-mask-order-indoorsonly-last-until-june,374942?

spread of the virus. The system affects capacity at restaurants, other businesses, indoor and outdoor events, and other settings. Colorado originally implemented the dial on Sept. 15. The latest changes to Colorado’s system of restrictions — dubbed “dial 3.0” — took effect on March 24, moving many counties across the state to the least restrictive stage, level green. The update also relaxed restrictions for certain businesses in other counties. Dial 3.0 will remain in effect until mid-April, at which point the state plans to retire the dial and give local public health agencies greater control over what restrictions to enforce. The Tri-County Health Department’s board of health voted to extend a modified version of the state’s dial system for one month during an April 8 meeting. As Coloradans look to the summer, though, public health officials are likely to keep urging events to take place outside. “We know that outdoors are significantly safer than indoors, and as our local governments and community organizations plan for this summer, they’re keeping that in mind,” said Sager, Tri-County Health’s policy and intergovernmental affairs manager. “We’re working with (Arapahoe) County on the county fair, (and) we’re working with South Metro Fire on their fire muster this summer.” That’s an annual fire truck parade and firefighting demonstration event that takes
place in Littleton. Many summer activities may still look a little different than usual, Sager said, considering how to keep people at a safe distance. Tri-County officials think events with food vendors and local artists, for example, can happen safely, Sager added. Tri-County recently amended its mask-wearing order to remove the requirement that masks be worn in outdoor public spaces, the agency announced in an April 5 news release. But if residents will be in close contact for a long period of time, such as at a crowded trailhead, masks may still be a good idea, Sager said. A caller during the town hall asked whether swimming pools should open, and Sager responded that “we’re excited to have our pools open” and that they’re “much safer than those indoor activities.” It’s possible that many previous public health guidelines such as cleanings and reservations wouldn’t be strictly required after the state’s requirements fade away on April 16, Sager said. But at a large community pool, rules may be different, she added. Officials have recently seen increases in coronavirus cases in Arapahoe County and the state as a whole, John Douglas, Tri-County Health’s director, said during the town hall. He hears people wondering about a “fourth wave” of the virus, following the surges last spring.

New Mile High Thinking for Your Retirement
F
rom Larimer Square to the Red Rocks Amphitheatre, Denver is truly a great place to call home and enjoy retirement. With the Rockies at your doorstep, there are virtually unlimited opportunities for adventure. Denver is also No. 3 on the list of America’s Best Cities* for a Healthy (and More Affordable Retirement). What you may not know is a reverse mortgage loan from AAG may help you get even more out of your retirement. A reverse mortgage is simply a way for you to convert some of your built-up home equity into cash for your retirement — cash to pay off large bills or high-interest credit card debt, make home improvements, cover medical expenses, build a bigger rainy-day fund, or simply get out and enjoy more of the Mile High City.
If you choose, you can wait to repay your loan when you permanently leave your home. Although a reverse mortgage requires no monthly mortgage payments, you are still responsible for paying for the maintenance of your home, property taxes, homeowners insurance, and, if required, HOA fees. “Working with Jarred Talmadge and AAG was a very nice experience,” said AAG customer Angela Pendergraft. “No pressure or feelings of anxiety. He answered all our questions and concerns leaving us feeling comfortable with our decision to do a reverse mortgage.” If you want to learn how a reverse mortgage can specifically improve your retirement, AAG Market Sales Manager Jarred Talmadge, NMLS# 1842043, and his team are ready to assist you. Jarred can also address all your questions and concerns by calling (303) 957-3652 today.

Open space needs, tax elicits varied responses
W
estminster’s City sales and use tax, which is earmarked for open space acquisitions, trail development, maintenance, CROSS debt payments on open-space bonds, CURRENTS and rehabilitation work on city parks and recreation facilities is perhaps the most popular city program. Currently, the quarter of a percent tax is voter authorized to 2032. In the Bill Christopher recent past three years, the tax has annually generated approximately $7 million. The City has accomplished the original goal set in 1985 of acquiring/owning
at least 15% of the land area within the city limits for parks, open space, trails, golf courses, etc. As part of my ongoing effort to get more information out about candidates for seats on the Westminster City Council, my question for this week discusses that tax and the ongoing program: Going forward, what is your thinking on how the Parks, Open Space and Trails (POST) Fund revenues should be spent over the next five years? Mayoral candidates
Nancy Mc Nally — “1. Overlay our map with connecting city maps to find connections on trails that need to be completed. 2. Do we have a gap in a given area that open space needs to purchase? 3. Put a budget together to understand what it takes

each year to maintain open space and trails. Does leaving it `natural’ mean you let weeds grow and spread? 4. Recreation Rehabs may need to be placed in Capital Improvement Plans under Parks/Library. 5. A five-year plan built for ongoing needs for our parks, open space and trails needs to be understood for budgeting and asking citizens to continue tax, decrease or increase tax. They need to know exactly where their money is going.” Anita Seitz — “When people are asked why they love living in Westminster, the most common response is our open space, trails and parks. COVID proved these aren’t just amenities, they are essential community assets. I want to use our POST funds to protect, maintain and expand our parks and open space program. Westminster is reaching build-out. I want
to make sure we make strategic land acquisitions before opportunities are lost permanently. To facilitate this strategy, I would like to extend the sunset on our POST tax to increase our bonding capacity. This gives us the ability to act quickly when parcels appropriate for our park and open space program become available. When evaluating new acquisitions, we should consider geographic equity, trail connectivity, view preservation, and ecological impact. As Westminster continues to grow, it will be important to maintain the natural places that we all enjoy.” Austin Watts — “I believe this is a joint decision for city council and city management, with input from our local experts.

A century ago wasn’t just any old time
T
hings were different one hundred years ago. For example, no one wore flip-flops to the airport. However, there were no flipflops and few airports. That makes a difference. They had a presidential inauguration in 1921 too, but not like ours, that’s for sure. The television ratings were terrible. In fact, not a single person watched it on TV. A nickel if you can tell me who was sworn in. Hint: He didn’t make it through his term. His pump quit on August 2, 1923. In 1921, no one on Earth had heard of the Beatles. Imagine that. Or In-N-Out. But in September of that year, the first White Castle hamburger restaurant opened in Wichita, Kansas. “The Kid,” starring Charlie Chaplin and Jackie Coogan, was the second highest-grossing film of the year. Lana Turner was born on February 8 in Wallace, Idaho, a mining town that was known in the late nineteenth century and early twentieth for its “permissive approach” to vice. Wallace’s current population is less than 800. The Spanish flu had just ended the year before. It infected about one-third of the world’s population. Until the 1920s started to
“roar,” live and recorded music options were limited. It would have been a bad time to be a teenager. But help was on the way. Fiszel Czyz QUIET was born on DESPERATION March 28, 1921, in Motal, Poland. His brother Lejzor was born in 1917. The Czyz family moved to New York then to Chicago. Fiszel and Craig Marshall Lejzor changed Smith their names to Phil and Leonard Chess and cofounded Chess Records in 1938. Chess specialized in rhythm and blues as well as jazz and early rock ‘n’ roll. Chuck Berry, Muddy Waters, Dale Hawkins, Howlin’ Wolf, the Flamingos, Bo Diddley, Sonny Boy Williamson and John Lee Hooker all recorded for Chess. But “Suzie Q” (Dale Hawkins) was a long way off in 1921. “The Kid,” like all films released in 1921, was silent. The first feature-length “talkie” wasn’t released until October 6, 1927. However, by 1931 extraordinary advances had been made in the film industry. That was the year “Frankenstein” was
released; a 100% film on Rotten Tomatoes in 2021. Major League Baseball was being played in 1921, just as it will be again soon. The 1921 season ended when New York Giants beat the New York Yankees in Game 8 of the World Series. That year, Babe Ruth led MLB with 59 home runs. Bob Meusel — remember him? — was second on the list with 24. Ironically, the Baby Ruth candy bar was introduced in 1921. But it was not named after the baseball player. It was named after President Grover Cleveland’s daughter. Famous people born in 1921: John Glenn, Rodney Dangerfield, Nancy Reagan, Sugar Ray Robinson and Steve Allen, the first host of “The Tonight Show.” One hundred years seems like a mighty long time, doesn’t it? Maybe it’s not. “The Maltese Falcon” (movie) is 80 years old. “Dark Side of the Moon” is 48. The final original “Peanuts” comic strip was published 21 years ago. How is that possible? Albert Einstein said, “The only reason for time is so that everything doesn’t happen at once.” That makes (almost) perfect sense to me. The president’s name?

for walks, I’d personally like to see a portion of these funds go towards continued trail maintenance and upkeep of our beautiful parks. Ideally, I believe this tax should run its course. Meanwhile, we could substantially reduce the cost of bonds by establishing our own public bank in Westminster. As a home rule city, we can legally establish our own public bank owned by the city and managed by experienced bankers. It could refinance bonds and lend to the city at substantially lower interest rates. Since a public bank does not pay dividends or seek to maximize profits for outside investors, it can charge lower interest rates which reduces the need for bonds (and taxes to pay them)— while increasing lending for other essential local purposes.” Council candidates’ positions on POST funds
David Demott — “We should stay true to why the voters put this fund in place. With the city nearing buildout we need to be mindful of opportunities to acquire undeveloped land that would be good additions to our great parks and open space while assuring, we maintain the hallmark of Westminster, its parks, and open spaces. We have seen how important these spaces have proven to be to the health and wellness of our city as they were an invaluable asset to residents during the covid-19 pandemic. We have heard loud and clear parks and open spaces matter to our residents.” Kathleen Dodaro — “Our costs to service the debt and maintain these (POST) assets have increased. The funds coming in now need to continue to be earmarked for the debt service and maintenance of these assets. Once the debt is satisfied, the tax needs to stop.” Obi Ezeadi — “Westminster should allocate 50% of the voter-approved POST taxes to the acquisition of open space lands. Maintenance and improvements of existing land
SMITH
should be funded by the remaining 50%, along with the additional Public Land Dedication development fees, and the open space taxes given annually from Adams and Jefferson Counties. However, this debate is often misguided because the largest public asset for any city is its streets. I would advocate for a re-imagination of our city budget to include street maintenance as part of the open space fund and finally deliver our residents better roads and a modern streetscape that includes more bike lanes.” Sarah Nurmela — “Westminster’s commitment to open space has resulted in a community identity defined by our many parks, trails and open space areas. One of the key benefits of these spaces is that they are open and accessible to the entire community. Personally, I never fail to delight in catching sight of the wildlife that is able to thrive in our open spaces. As we look at the next five years, I can see us investing in maintaining existing open space areas, supporting native species and healthy, resilient environments: maintaining and improving highly used existing recreation facilities and parks as well, such as the MAC and Bishop Square Park, among others; and identifying opportunities to purchase properties that can complete connections between open spaces and trails. There may be additional or alternative priorities identified by City Staff in the city’s Capital Improvement Plan, which would also inform my position.” Kathryn Skulley — “Parks, recreation, and open space are the jewel of our community requiring stewardship and have been a saving grace for residents, during the pandemic creating a place of community. I have a special affinity for parks, trails and recreation centers as an enthusiastic patron thereof and as City Council liaison to the Parks, Recreation, Libraries and Open Space Board. I strongly favor, going forward, Westminster’s city sales and use tax should be spent as originally designated by the voters. Specifically, I would want to acquire as much land as possible for open space, connect

all the trails, continue and increase park and trail way-finding signage, make sure there are water and bathroom stations along the trails; lower residential recreational center membership costs; create recreation programs and classes concerning civic understanding; diversity, equity, and inclusivity; and elimination of the digital divide.” Jon Voelz — “Our city’s Open Space, Parks and Trails are among the most popular services provided by our City government. In our resident surveys, it regularly ranks above 90%. With less than 1,000 acres of undeveloped land within our City limits, it is essential that we acquire as much land as is practical now. Acquisition should be a priority. I have led the efforts on City Council to dramatically increase the amount of funds in our budget to acquire new open space. As a matter of fact, the amount used to be approximately $250,000. In this year’s budget it is increased to $1.4 million, and we are actively pursuing new land. This amount is a great start to begin leveraging more funds with Adams and Jefferson County open space funding. We must continue a high level of maintenance and stewardship of our parks, trails and open space lands. We must also strive for increasing connections be-
tween our neighborhoods and parks, trails and open spaces. Finally, we should always work for geographic equity in our open space acquisitions. Bruce Baker — “I view the POST tax as a special, temporary tax to accomplish a specific goal. We have honored the promise of 15% open space and we should honor the promise of the tax being temporary. The toll on the Denver-Boulder toll road went away as soon as the debts were paid. As soon as the open space bonds are paid, we should end the tax.” A potpourri of positions
As you would have noted, there is a variety of positions. There is a contrast between suggesting extending the tax beyond 2032 to dropping the tax after bonds are paid off in 2032. Some support more land to be purchased given the near build-out of the city. Several adhere to enough funding to assure good maintenance of what is owned by the city. What do you want? Let the candidates know. Bill Christopher is a former Westminster city manager and RTD board member. His opinions are not necessarily those of Colorado Community Media.

Post-COVID fun; cities plan for summer festivals Big events are being separated in small venues spread out through the cities BY BELEN WARD BWARD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM BY BELEN WARD BWARD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
When the pandemic hit in 2020 cities across Colorado had to cancel big events and festivals that not only impacted the cities economically but also affected communities socially. This year the big events are coming back, with a bang. The city of Fort Lupton cancelled both Independence Day celebrations and its traditional late summer Trapper’s Day event due to the pandemic last year. “Both signature events are planned to be bigger and better than ever with live music, car shows, rides, food trucks, and more. We feel that we’re not only planning something fun for the community, but we see these activities as a way to build pride and show off our resiliency after such a hard year,” said Christy Romano, Fort Lupton Events Coordinator. The Trapper Days celebration is September 10 this year. Trappers Days in Fort Lupton’s is the largest event celebrating the culture of Fort Lupton’s pioneers of the past, present, and future. The festival starts with a parade downtown main street with live music, a beer garden, car shows, and vendors. The celebration continues at the historic park with the community dressed in the 1800s with cultural re-enactments and vendors. Hot air and chain saws
The Frederick in Flight Hot Air Balloon Festival was the town’s most significant event that was canceled in 2020. It usually features the colorful hot air balloons in the air visible from miles away. “It was canceled due to COVID-19,” said Jessica Hill, Communications and Engagement Specialist.

The Chainsaw artists were protected six feet away from the public and spread out. For the Taste of Frederick in June, residents stayed in the car and picked up samples of food from a variety of vendors.

favorite annual events but we are very much looking forward to being able to host these events again this year,” said Kristen Chernosky, Communications and Engagement Director, City of Brighton. Brighton is currently planning the annual SPEAK Week and the community walk events. The Summerfest is set for June 5th. “While the events may look a little different, as of now we are planning to host all of our events again this year. Of course, we will continue to monitor all local and state guidelines regarding COVID and make changes as needed,” Chernoksy said.
Safer events for 2021
Fair season
Brighton canceled most of its big events in 2020 such as Summerfest, Turkey Trot, Festival of Lights, City BBQ and Egg Dash including other annual various events. “We were still able to host some events, with specific safety measures in place. It was difficult to not be able to bring our community together and celebrate some of our
Last year the fair was closed to the public but fair officials were creative with the youth animal competition shows and live-streamed the junior livestock sale. The fair is scheduled to open in July 2021 depending on health and safety protocols. “We are hoping we can open as normal, if not we will do what we
did last year,” said Jeanette Masarie, Fair Coordinator. The 116th Adams County Fair also cancelled its events due to the pandemic in 2020. During week of the fair which was from August 4th through the 9th the organizers had planned a virtual 4-H fair for the 4-H competitions. This year the plans are in works for the Adams County Fair in August 2021. No Zombies or ballerinas in 2021
Westminster canceled most of its popular community events due to the pandemic such as Adult Egg Hunt, July 4, Westy Craft Brew Fest, and Halloween Harvest Festival including a few other events. “Those events typically range in attendance from 300 egg hunts to 34,000 for the harvest festival. Regardless of size, we were disappointed to see any of them canceled, they are cherished traditions in our community.

udiences aren’t the only ones missing cultural events like art shows during the pandemic shutdown - the creatives have also been missing the opportunities to have their work seen and connected by viewers. Which is one of the reasons the Thornton Arts and Culture’s newest exhibit, Nations United: Bringing Communities Together, is so thrilling. The exhibit - presented by Thornton Arts, the Denver American Indian Festival, the Chicano Humanities and Arts Council (CHAC)
and the Metropolitan State University of Denver Chicana/o Studies Department - features American Indian and Latinx works. “This is our first live show in a long time, and we’re so excited about it,” said Brenda Garule, executive director of CHAC. “It’s been difficult deciding to terminate so many of our shows, especially with no income coming for many of our artists. We’re so happy to have this chance to showcase our artists at Thornton.” The in-person exhibit is hosted at the OZ Gallery, 9209 Dorothy Blvd.,
and runs through Friday, June 25. The gallery is open from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., Tuesday through Friday. Walkins are welcome with a maximum of 10 people in the gallery at one time, or guests can secure a timed entry ticket.

tions to assist with social recovery,” said Rich Neumann, Westminster marketing and cultural affairs administrator. Due to the local and state public health changes, some events cannot be brought back, including the Adult Egg Hunt, Ballerina Dodge Ball, and the Zombie Golf Tournament. The City of Westminster Cultural Affairs Team is planning its 2021 lineup of events and celebrations for the community with some required public health protocols. “To achieve this, staff has shifted its focus from one-time events to month-long attractions that can accommodate smaller gatherings over an extended period. Planned attractions are subject to change depending upon changing guidelines of local and state public health agencies,” said Ryan Hegreness, Westminster’s innovation and communication manager. Hegreness said with major public gatherings such as Westy Craft Brew Fest, Halloween Harvest

an assortment of artists, including Metro students and senior citizens, means that the works on display are as nuanced and varied as the people themselves. “This is one of the most diverse exhibitions we’ve had, and it all started through a connection with the Denver American Indian Festival, which has been held in Thornton for years,” said Alisa Zimmerman, Thornton Arts and Culture manager. “It’s a real feast for the eyes, with vibrant colors and subject matters. The mediums include everything from metal sculpture and oil to mannequins dressed in traditional clothing.” According to Garule, about 25 artists are participating in the show. Not only does this highlight the wide range of talent in these communities but provides a much-needed creative outlet during what has been an extremely trying time. And that outlet will hopefully educate and inspire others. “We hope this exhibit provides more exposure for these artists in our community, and we’re happy that Thronton is the place where all these different groups can show their work together,” Zimmerman added. “A show like this shows the richness of cultures in our community, and we hope it piques their interest in seeing more.” Details and tickets can be secured at ArtsThornton.Eventbrite.com. A car seat murder mystery
Any mystery fan knows that few things are more fun than a good whodunnit - and Westminster’s Orchard Town Center, 14780 Delaware St., is giving people an interactive who murder mystery that can be enjoyed and solved from their car. The live-film production of “A Midnight Masquerade” by The
Festival and Balloon Glow, the team is creating innovative activities for the community to participate safely than ever before. The city is also working with the Westminster Alamo Drafthouse to create a drive-in movie with live entertainment and with local breweries to create a socially distanced beer crawl in August. ‘We’re also partnering with the Denver Center for Performing Arts this summer to offer a series of acting workshops for youths using our new mobile art studio Art A La Carte,” Neumann said. Westminster in 2020 made the news regionally with a socially-distance theater event “the Rough” in coordination with the Catamounts theater group. The performance played out across several holes of the city’s Legacy Ridge Golf Course “This event drew regional acclaim as an innovative approach to the theater during the pandemic,” Hegreness said. “The performance took place on Legacy Ridge Golf Course, with attendees traveling along the course in golf carts.” Since this event was successful, the city planning another sociallydistance live theater event, “The Land of Milk and Honey.” “It will be equally successful as a Murder Mystery Company will be hosted from 8 to 10 p.m. on Friday, April 23 and Saturday, April 24. The drive-in and -family-friendly mystery will be a staged Zoom projection onto a 40-foot screen and audiences try to solve the crime. Guests will even receive clues through their phones, and by using all the information they will make a guess as to who the perpetrator is. Those who get it right will be entered to win a $150 gift card to Target. Costumes are encouraged and tickets cost $45 per car (which includes a $20 gift card for dinner from an Orchard restaurant).

unique, immersive theater experience,” said Hegreness. Food Truck Carnival downsized
The city of Northglenn also had to cancel its big event of the year the Food Truck Carnival with carnival rides and vendors. “It hit us economically as well as some of the food truck vendors,” said City of Northglenn, Steven Stokes, Event Supervisor. Depending on local and state guidelines changes this summer Northglenn plans to create smaller events at four separate parks, similar to what the city did in 2020. “The Food Truck Grab and Go” will be held on June 4, 11 and 18 and August 12, 19 and 26 in two separate parks each night with live music. A new event added this year is Pride night on June 26 which is a familyfriendly event with a silent disco and drag show. The July 4 celebration will be held in four parks with a car show, lunch, dinner, and dance bands, but there will not be a firework display due to COVID-19 restrictions. The Stonehocker Porch Concert will have a house concert performance on August 5, September, 2, and October 7.

Thorntonfest spreads out
Thorntonfest was Thornton’s major event that was cancel due to the pandemic in 2020. This year it’s planned for June 5, but separated into seven venues. “Current health restrictions allow gatherings of no more than 175 people, which is why they broke the event up into seven venues. The capacity for each of those cohorts, though, may increase with the changing public health orders. Though the event is divided up into seven venues, all seven venues are within walking distance of each other,” said Chris Steinke, Recreation Superintendent. Thornton’s July 4th celebration depends on the current COVID status dial, Steinke said. Thornton’s COVID status must be at least in the blue stage, which means the outdoor guidelines move from the state health department authority to Tri-County Health. If that happens, Thornton staff can move forward with the event. Plans call for the venue to open at 5 p.m. without a live band and food vendors spread out around the venue. The city has set a May 14 deadline for deciding the July 4 celebration’s fate. If conditions worsen, the city will announce cancellation by then. purchased, it has unlimited listening until the end of the run.

Clarke’s Concert of the Week - Ratboys from Schuba’s Tavern
Chicago’s Ratboys certainly aren’t going to win any awards for their name choice, but their blend of emo, alt-country and indie rock makes for a bewitching brew that is only getting stronger with each release. Their most recent album, 2020’s “Printer’s Devil,” had the misfortune of being released right as COVID-19 started shutting things down. So, you should look it up if you’re one of those who missed it it’s one of the year’s best. In celebration of a decade as a group, Ratboys will be hosting a live stream performance and retrospective film from Schuba’s Tavern in Chicago. The event begins at 7 p.m. on Thursday, April 29, and will feature the band performing songs from across their discography and telling stories about their time together.

Shortened baseball schedule draws mixed reviews BY STEVE SMITH SSMITH@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
First, it was a 23-game season for high-school baseball players. Then it became 18 games and eventually shrunk to 16. The Colorado High School Activities Association said it made the decision on a shorter season to keep in line with Title IX requirements. Some area coaches aren’t buying it. “I have many thoughts, but for the record, most everyone else in the country is trying to increase participation and opportunities for athletes, and CHSAA is taking opportunities away,” said BHS baseball boss Justin Stringer. Thornton’s coach, Jeremy Miller, agreed. “I’m definitely not in agreement with the decision, but it does sound like the coaches’ association made some headway and we may be getting two to three games added to our season,” he said. Adams City’s assistant coach, Erick Delatorre, is happy to have a season. “But I’ll also say that having a shorter season does hurt us,” he said. “The majority of our players do not get the opportunity to play on club teams throughout the summer, so they rely on the school season to get game experience. Having a shorter season hurts us more than other high schools, especially when we are trying to rebuild the program.” Frederick’s coach, Colin York,
Horizon’s Danny Moore catches a pitch during a March 2019 game against Kennedy High School. Local high school baseball coaches FILE PHOTO have mixed feelings about the shortened season for their players, due to begin early in May.
said there is not a right and a wrong answer. “I go back and forth with the shortened baseball season. On one hand, I see and hear everything about Title IX and agree with keeping it fair and consistent between genders and their specific athletic programs,” York said. “On the other hand, the recent narrative has included the counterpoint of the lack of a season baseball had in comparison to softball, which is a fair point. In my opinion, I don’t think
adding the two games to our season (something CHSAA and the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment are discussing) is going to make up for the lost season last year.” Fort Lupton’s coach, Cory Miller, goes back and forth, too. “You could make an argument that they are taking opportunties away,” he said. “But this is their only choice. The hard part is a lof of kids play club ball starting June 1, so CHSAA has to deal with that.”
The season begins May 3, barring changes in the ongoing pandemic. “Would it be nice to have the ability to play more baseball? Absolutely. But 16, 18, or 23 games? My view for the season doesn’t change. We will make the best out of the situation my staff and the boys are given,” York said. “As a first-year head coach, I’m just focused on the games that are scheduled this SEE BASEBALL, P15
Referee shortage draws attention from PVHS graduate BY STEVE SMITH SSMITH@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Adam Laubert.
COURTESY PHOTO
Adam Laubert is trying to address a need in sports programs that cater to all age levels and all ability levels. It’s the lack of officials, an issue that has caused postponements of area high-school and nationwide college contests. Part of the shortfall is the impacts of coronavirus. “There are a lot of veteran officials who don’t want to retire,” Laubert said. “A lot of people say, ‘We’ve had John Doe the past 25 years.’ We need to be looking for the next John
Doe.” Laubert, who graduated from Prairie View High School in 2015 and then spent four years in the Army, is the operations director and social media director with Herd of Zebras, a start-up company with a goal to make sure there are enough certified officials to work these contests. Rob Sigmon is the CEO/ founder. Herd of Zebras started in 2006. Laubert moved back to Colorado after his military service. “I realized I love coaching, so I took a basketball job at Kipp Denver
Collegiate School (the team was 147. Laubert took the job three weeks before the season started). It put me in a great position. I remember telling my dad what my game plan was, to coach football. (Laubert’s first football job was in Wabunsee, Kansas. His Army post was in Fort Riley, Kansas). He asked how I was going to do it. Then he said, ‘Go do it.’ I love working with kids. But I never thought I’d end up doing this.” One target area for prospective game officials is present high-school SEE REFS, P15
Riverdale Ridge’s Mazurek makes his college choice BY STEVE SMITH SSMITH@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Riverdale Ridge High School’s Cayden Mazurek waded through all the things that go with recruiting, and he did so through an ongoing pandemic. Most importantly, he made his college commitment. “I was able to visit Lake Forest (Lake Forest College in Lake Forest, Illinois), and it was a beautiful place, especially being right in Lake
Michigan,” Mazurek said. “Meeting the coaches and seeing practice was great. We had genuine conversations and a great time.” That wasn’t the only factor that swayed the decision. “I chose Lake Forest because of the hospitality and character of the school and coaches,” he said. “It feels like a family there, and that’s what I wanted.” Mazurek, who was expected to sign his letter on April 19 at RRHS,
is a multi-sport athlete. The football teams from Chadron (Nebraska) State, McPherson University and Lewis and Clark State were interested in Mazurek. “It took me a while to actually make a decision on what school I wanted to attend,” Mazurek said. “My parents were on me because the clock was ticking. But I wanted to be sure I made the right choice, and I believe I did.” Mazurek wants to major in finance with the goal of getting into the real
estate field after college. Recruiting during this time did seem very weird, but I have nothing to compare it to,” Mazurek said. “From stories I hear, it seemed as if it was non-existent. But I don’t know any different, and we had to work with what we had.” Mazurek described his future as “nerve-racking.” “But I’m excited to move to a new chapter in my life, meet new people, and create experiences I won’t forget,” he said.

students. Laubert said in three to four years’ time, those athletes could be officiating high-school games. “We’ve got accountability,” Laubert said. “We’ve never had to cancel or postpone a game. We had a lot of issues about putting new guys into the fire. I didn’t receive one complaint. “I’ve got four kids at Mountain Range (Laubert is an assistant coach during this spring season). We gave them the training, and they did a phenomenal job,” he added. “The coaches said they were the best refs they’d ever had. They can be a resource no one has tapped
added. “If we were to make it fair, then we would have canceled the softball season in the fall, and now we are taking more opportunities away from kids. So, like I said in my first comment. I see it from both sides but not fully focused on it and more focused on preparing our boys for the season.” “I feel for the seniors who couldn’t play in their junior year and are playing a shortened senior season,” Miller said. “But they are playing.”

into. We’d like to find more kids like this. If you find the right highschool kid, he’ll impress you.” The sign-up process (available at HerdofZebras.com) takes five minutes. Training, which takes place on weekends, involves all sports. Business is good. Laubert had to find more than 70 officials for a new program in Florida. The company also expects to expand into Arizona and Texas by the end of the month. The worldwide industry makes $60 billion annually, Laubert said. “A lot of associations think we are trying to put them out of business,” Laubert said. “We never want to do that. We want to help them solve that shortage. Our five- to 10year plan is to hire assignors, match salaries and make this grow and expand.”
