Families being priced out of local housing market ‘California problem’ is impacting inventory and prices BY THELMA GRIMES TGRIMES@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
It is no surprise that local families are feeling frustrated and
burned out in the current housing market, as national economist Elliot Eisenberg says Colorado is going through a “California problem.”
In January, Eisenberg, of econ70. com, compared the Colorado housing market to a car cruising down the interstate. Before the pandemic in 2019, all signs were stable and cruise control was set at 65 mph. SEE HOUSING, P18

Among the people chosen by Douglas County commissioners to help them find their next public health solution are a local town council member, a former mayor, a health department attorney and a one-time leader of the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment. Seven of the 11 appointees have had greater or lesser professional ties to a health-related field, with almost all of that experience coming from the business and administration side. None of the appointees has a hands-on medical background. The board, formally created in an Aug. 10 meeting, will provide input to the commissioners regarding their future public health services. The board plans to have an initial recommendation by the end of the year. The committee will “assist in evaluating the feasibility of transitioning to an independent, local public health agency for Douglas County,” according to the group’s bylaws. The commissioners have been considering leaving their current SEE BOARD, P20

Mask debate continues in Douglas County Schools District’s mask policy goes too far for some, not far enough for others BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
At the first Douglas County Board of Education meeting this school year, a majority of people in the audience opted against wearing masks. Most members of the school district’s cabinet did don face coverings, and about half of board members wore them while seated at the dais. The district’s policy strongly recommending, but not requiring, masks for most people who enter its buildings played out while a new, recently announced aspect drew fresh scrutiny. Superintendent Corey Wise on Aug. 6 said the district’s only mask
requirement will apply to unvaccinated, student-facing staff. School began on Aug. 9 and several speakers at the Aug. 10 board meeting condemned the rule as going too far, while others in the district say it does not go far enough. District spokeswoman Paula Hans said the district will rely on staff members who are not fully vaccinated to abide by the policy and will not require proof of vaccination. A person’s vaccination status will not affect their employment with the district, she said, and there is no requirement to get vaccinated. The district does have a system set up for employees to provide their vaccination status voluntarily. According to that data, a minimum of 56% of district employees are vaccinated, Hans said, emphasizing that the data is incomplete because staff do not have to provide that information, so it undercounts the number of vaccinated employees. The data does not specify what

type of employees submitted their vaccination status, or if they are student-facing. “Student-facing” employees can include teachers, nutrition service provider, or any employee who has regular contact with students. Employees who are not fully vaccinated can speak with the human resources department if they need exceptions to the mask-wearing rule, Hans said. That could be to accommodate a mental illness or physical condition that prohibits them from covering their face. If a mask would interfere with an employee’s job, such as a teacher whose students have hearing loss or need to see their educator’s mouth during lessons, unvaccinated employees might be asked to wear a clear face shield as opposed to a mask. During the Aug. 10 board meeting, several speakers rebutted the efficacy of masks and urged freedom of choice. One woman told the board she was “disappointed that we are shaming unvaccinated teachers into masking,” while another said masks are harmful for the wearer and requirements amount to “medical discrimination.” The Douglas County Board of Commissioners has also weighed in on masking in schools.
Commissioners issued a statement on Aug. 9 rebuking vaccine passports and mask mandates and on Aug. 10 unanimously adopted a resolution urging schools in the county — public and private — to continue giving students and parents a choice in whether they mask or vaccinate. The Douglas County School District’s mask requirement applies only to unvaccinated student-facing staff, not students or parents. The district is not requiring vaccinations but encouraging people eligible for the vaccine get inoculated. The commissioners’ resolution pointed to low death and hospitalization rates in the county combined with the vaccine’s effectiveness at preventing serious illness. Douglas County’s intesive-care units were 81% full as of Aug. 12, and 86% of inpatient beds were occupied, according to the Tri-County Health Department. Douglas County’s 14-day rolling average hospitalization rate was trending upward between July 28 and Aug. 8. Eight people died of the virus in July. Masks also interfere with young people’s mental and social wellbeing, commissioners said. Board Chairwoman Lora Thomas said she supported the resolution because SEE MASK DEBATE, P3

Vaccine Sunday comes to Dos Amigos in Castle Rock Julissa Soto works statewide to educate, help Latinos get vaccinated BY THELMA GRIMES TGRIMES@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
In an effort to raise awareness about the importance of the COVID-19 vaccine and reach the Latino community, Julissa Soto has started hosting Vaccine Sundays statewide. On Aug. 26, Soto will bring Vaccine Sundays to Dos Amigos Mexican Grill in Castle Rock. From 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. those getting vaccinated can get a $100 gift card for either the first or second dose of the vaccination. Dos Amigos is located at 745 Wilcox St. Soto, a bilingual health equity consultant, said she believes more education needs to be out there to encourage residents, especially Latinos, to get vaccinated. According to the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, 3.5 million Coloradans are fully vaccinated, about 65% of those eligible. However, Hispanics are lagging behind, making up only 11.5% of all those vaccinated. When asked how the process has been going, Soto said “frustrating.” Soto said she is working to make education outreach part of the weekly ministry at local churches across the Denver metro area and the state. Soto said she has been surprised
MASK DEBATE FROM PAGE 2
Children’s Hospital Colorado declared a state of emergency in May regarding youth mental health. The resolution concludes by saying the county “respectfully recognizes the sovereignty of the Douglas County School District, charter schools, private schools and other educational institutions,” and thanks those institutions for not imposing additional “oppressive mask orders.” (Public schools in Douglas County are administered by an elected board, not by county commissioners. Private schools operate independently.) Commissioner Abe Laydon told Colorado Community Media he opposes mask requirements for young people largely because of the county’s current COVID-19 trends. The vaccines are effective, most of the vulnerable are vaccinated, and breakthrough cases are overemphasized, Laydon said. “Kids don’t have any resilience left,” he said. “There’s nothing left in the tank after this many months.” While some community members called for an end to masking, others are urging mandates. One public speaker said she believes masks should be required
at how reluctant many churches are in letting her come in to provide “valuable” information to help in a public health crisis. During her visits to churches, Soto said she provides trusted, vetted information about COVID-19 and the vaccination. Wanting to reach the Latino community, Soto said she also provides the information in Spanish, educating all about the symptoms and issues associated with COVID. As a guest at churches, Soto said, she thinks it is important to talk about good infection prevention habits, including proper hand-washing techniques. Soto teaches infection control strategies during Mass, like reminding people to stay home if they feel ill or are starting to feel ill. She also posts fliers and reminders of healthful habits, including “cover your cough” and “stop the spread of COVID-19.” Soto disseminates information regarding vaccine sites in the community, and answers questions related to myths of COVID-19. As part of her community outreach, Soto hosted a Vaccine Sunday at Durango’s Barber Shop and Fresh Cuts in Colorado Springs in early August, with 249 Latino immigrants getting the vaccination. Soto, an immigrant herself, said it is important during the pandemic to reach marginalized communities, and to show up in a culturally relevant way is extremely important. To contact Soto about Vaccine Sundays, email her at julissamolinasoto@gmail.com. but also promised to respect people who feel differently. Another woman likened face masks to wearing a seatbelt. One commenter said both her children are vaccinated and still masking when they go to school, urging universal masking. Kevin DiPasquale, president of the local teachers union Douglas County Federation, said the district should require masks amid the delta variant’s spread and to protect in-person learning. The delta variant is now the dominant strain of coronavirus in the U.S. and is highly transmissible. Douglas County’s seven-day incidence rolling average rate of COVID-19 cases has been steadily rising since early July, while the 14-day incident rate sat at 215 as of Aug. 12. “Masks enable our schools to remain open five days a week. We all agree that students deserve this consistency,” DiPasquale said. “Making connections with students is key to improving academics, as well as social-emotional growth in schools.” DiPasquale said members of the teachers union expressed the most interest in mask mandates at the elementary level, among students who are ineligible for the vaccine because of their age. “With the delta variant doing what it’s doing, it makes sense to wear masks to mitigate safety risk for everyone involved,” he said.

Buffalo Ridge garden gets boost from city grant Concrete project will improve access for those using wheelchairs BY THELMA GRIMES TGRIMES@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
The garden at Buffalo Ridge Elementary School in Castle Pines has grown into a true community project, with a variety of organizations donating work and services. Now the city has also helped by chipping in on a project to make the garden ADA compliant. Using grant funds awarded in 2019, the City of Castle Pines partnered with the elementary school to add concrete around the garden beds. In total, the LiveWell Colorado grant, now known as Nourish Colorado, provided $5,000. The city provided $2,500 in matching funds. Nourish Colorado is an organization that promotes access to healthy, nutritious food through advocacy for better policies, state initiatives and community partnerships. Before the upgrade, Buffalo Ridge Principal Jennifer Murdock Jacoway said, the school’s garden beds were surrounded by uneven dirt paths, making it impossible for kids in wheelchairs to get around the plants. The $7,5000 financial contribution from the city allowed the school to add concrete around EvergreenArtsWeek_half_horiz2.pdf the garden boxes, with plans to add

more concrete leading to the garden in the future. Before the city got involved, Murdock Jacoway said the garden had already drawn community support for several years. Local youths working toward Eagle Scout badges have installed a weather station, a music station, benches, and picnic 8/12/21 10:11 AM tables. Two years ago, local youths
also worked to create a gazebo with swings. Murdock Jacoway said she could not be happier with how the garden has been transformed over the last few years. While there plenty of work remains to get it back in shape after COVID restrictions caused some plant loss and maintenance issues, Murdock said the start of
the new school year has her already teaching outdoor classes regularly. With benches facing the garden, full classrooms are being taught about gardening, upkeep and planning what will be needed to get the garden back up to 2019 standards. Moving forward, Murdock Jacoway said the focus is on getting back to past garden success. There are only a few tomatoes and sunflowers sprouting at the start of the new school year, but Murdock said the garden once produced enough fruits and vegetables for students and staff to participate in local farmers markets, raising money for the school. Murdock Jacoway said she has always wanted to have a closer working relationship with the City of Castle Pines and the garden project is a good step forward. “This project really found us a way to connect with the city,” Murdock said. “As an elementary school, it is important to work with our local groups. With this project, we built a relationship with them, and we are already starting to talk about other projects we can do together.” Megan Palizzi, a management analyst for the CIty of Castle Pines, secured the grant funding. Palizzi agreed that the funds helped in further developing a relationship with local schools. The garden, Palizzi said, is not only ADA compliant, but it also has become a source of pride and community ownership for Buffalo Ridge students.

Masks are a must at Arapahoe Community College Community college’s 3 campuses require face coverings for all BY RACHEL LORENZ SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA
Masks will once again be required indoors on Arapahoe Community College campuses. The change was announced Aug. 11 on Twitter and in a letter from Stephanie Fujii, ACC’s newly installed president. Students, employees, members of the community, visitors and contractors who go Fujii to any of the school’s campuses in Littleton, Parker and Castle Rock — whether vaccinated or not — will need to be masked, the letter said. The renewed requirement goes into effect Aug. 16, and the fall semester begins Aug. 23. Fujii had hoped to begin the academic year with the mask-optional policy the school had instituted July 24 before her arrival. However, after considering recent Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommendations regarding the continuing spread and infectious
nature of the delta variant as well as local and national data on the virus, the school’s leadership concluded a “more cautious and proactive approach” was necessary. “The most disruptive thing that can happen to our students is if we have to go to remote instruction,” Fujii told Colorado Community Media. “We want to avoid that at all costs.” The CDC, the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment and Tri-County Health now recommend all individuals, regardless of vaccination status, wear a mask indoors, including teachers, staff, students and visitors. At press time, neither Arapahoe County, Douglas County, Jefferson County nor the state of Colorado had a public health order requiring masks. ACC joins a growing number of colleges and universities in the state in making masks mandatory. The higher education institutions on the Auraria Campus began requiring masks indoors Aug. 9. Front Range Community College’s mask mandate went into effect Aug. 10. Like ACC, Community College of Aurora and Red Rocks Community College will require masks beginning Aug. 16. Some caveats to the masking requirement are listed on ACC’s website.

Aurora council wants Tri-County to stay together BY ELLIOTT WENZLER EWENZLER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
As Douglas County decides whether it will break up with its health department, the City of Aurora — some of which is included in that county — has come out and said it opposes the idea. Aurora, which stretches across Adams and Arapahoe counties as well, is currently served by TriCounty Health Department in all three of those jurisdictions. “Douglas County taxpayers, Aurora being part of it, are going to be paying more for this decision without getting better service,” Aurora Mayor Mike Coffman said. “I just think it’s a mistake and I hope they reconsider.” Coffman said in the Aug. 9 city council meeting that he thinks the single health department for three counties provides economies of scale, reducing the burden on taxpayers, and that there is a “greater depth of experience” in a large organization like Tri-County. In a letter to the Aurora City Council, Douglas County commissioners rebutted those claims. “Part of the stated rationale for that draft resolution is that there are economies of scale and that costs will be lower for taxpayers of Adams, Arapahoe and Douglas counties rather than to have separate administration for each county,” according to the letter signed by all three commissioners. “We have not seen any of the data or studies on
which such conclusions rely, but if you provide them, we will consider them as well.” A 2004 document titled “Douglas County Health Study Report” — conducted by Douglas County staff — found that “there are economies of scale associated with belonging to a multi-county health department,” according to the report acquired by Colorado Community Media through a public records request. That same study also concluded that if Douglas County pulled out of Tri-County, Adams and Arapahoe would have to pay about 20% more for their services. A spokesperson for Douglas County said that the information from the 2004 document was not a formal study but “an assertion.” Background In July 2020, Douglas County commissioners notified Tri-County that they would leave the health department in a year because of what they said was a desire for more local control related to COVID-19 restrictions. A few weeks later, they began discussions with the health department on how to stay together and eventually found a compromise allowing them increased control over public health orders. They voted to remain with the health department until at least the end of 2022 but have continued exploring the possibility of creating their own organization. Since then, the commissioners signed a nearly $145,000 contract
with Health Management Associates to conduct a community health assessment and a public health improvement plan. They also formed an 11-member citizen Public Health Advisory Committee to provide citizen input on the matter. The county plans to have an initial recommendation from the committee on steps forward by the end of 2021. “At this time all options are on the table to provide the best health services to our residents,” according to the commissioners’ letter. “Any input Aurora wishes to provide for its Douglas County residents is welcome.” The Aurora resolution voiced support for the health department, pointing to its work during the pandemic and its board of health’s structure. “(Tri-County’s) Board of Health, composed of three commissionerappointed representatives from each of the three member counties, and (Tri-County), recognizing the diverse needs of each of the three member counties, tailored public health policies to maximize health benefits in each county,” the resolution said. Coffman echoed that sentiment during his meeting comments. “I really appreciate all that they did to bring us to the point where we are now and I think it would be a big mistake to break them apart,” he said. The council approved the resolution with only one member, Marsha Berzins, voting no.

STEM School fills all but 2 positions for start of school At the start of summer, the charter school had 29 vacancies BY THELMA GRIMES TGRIMES@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
After having nearly 30 staff vacancies at the start of summer, STEM School Highlands Ranch filled all but two positions before the start of the 2020-21 school year. In May, STEM parents expressed concern over the continued loss of teaching staff during the school year and when summer started. In total, the Douglas County School District charter school had 29 open positions heading into summer. At the end of the 2020 school year, STEM had 22 open positions. In 2019, there were 31 vacancies. Altogether, the charter school has 175 employees. Calling it a busy summer, Nicole Bostel, director of communications for the charter school, said STEM was able to fill all but two full-time teaching positions in math and engineering. The math position will continue to have a long-term substitute who has experience in teaching, Bostel said. The qualified teacher did not want a full-time contract, Bostel said. The second position, Bostel said,

is a secondary engineering position that remains open until filled. In the meantime, the class is being taught by an in-house substitute teacher who is working with the other engineering teachers to get students started, Bostel said. “We are screening candidates for that position and hope to have that filled soon,” she said. Many STEM parents have ex-
pressed frustration over teachers leaving the school, the site of a deadly May 7, 2019, shooting. During a virtual meeting on June 15, dozens of STEM parents expressed frustration about teacher turnover and with the leadership of school Executive Director Penny Eucker. A few weeks before that, a letter from more than 400 “concerned parents and com-
munity members” to the school’s board, citing turnover and teacher dissatisfaction, called for Eucker’s removal, CPR News reported. Bostel said some changes were made this year, including a review of the master schedule to make sure staffing levels are tied to school enrollment. Bostel said this assures the school is not overstaffed. Over the summer, Bostel said, more focus was placed on the teacher-support program, which is part of the school’s strategic plan. “That was in the works throughout the last school year,” Bostel said. “We took the summer months to hire for those positions and to also develop and launch that program during our Professional Development week.” In the program, Bostel said, STEM has a four-person team that is headed up by Director of Professional Development Michelle Gasser. If needed, Bostel said a fifth member will be added to the support team in the future. Eucker, in her ninth year at STEM, is in the final year of a three-year contract. Eucker’s renewal is up for discussion at the end of the current school year. While it is common for charter schools to have a higher teacher turnover rate than regular public schools, teachers have continually raised concerns with the rate teachers have left since 2019.

Census Bureau: Douglas County grew by 25.4% over decade New data show rapid growth in the county BY MARK HARDEN MHARDEN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
The population of Douglas County grew by 25.4% between 2010 and 2020, making it the third-fastestgrowing county in Colorado. That’s according to redistricting data released Aug. 12 by the U.S. Census Bureau. Douglas County’s population rose to 357,978 last year, up from 285,465 a decade earlier, the Census Bureau said. Douglas is the seventh-most-populous county in Colorado, behind El Paso, home to Colorado Springs (730,395); Denver
(715,522); Arapahoe (655,070), Jefferson (582,910); Adams (519,572); and Larimer (359,066). The county’s growth rate was much higher than the 14.8% growth rate of Colorado as a whole. The new census data also showed that Douglas County in 2020 had a housing unit vacancy rate of 4.3%, tied with Jefferson and Adams counties for the lowest rates in Colorado and well below the state average of 9.4%. Neighboring Elbert County was close behind with a vacancy rate of 4.4%. Statewide, the fastest-growing county between 2010 and 2020 was Broomfield, with a 32.6% growth rate, the new numbers show. Broomfield ranked No. 30 among the nation’s fastest growing counties.
That was followed by Weld County (30.1%), Douglas County (25.4%), lightly-populated Mineral County (21.5%), Larimer County (19.8%), Denver County (19.2%), Adams County (17.7%), El Paso County (17.4%), Arapahoe County (14.5%) and Elbert County (12.9%). Meanwhile, 15 of Colorado’s 64 counties lost population over the 10-year period, led by Kit Carson County, with a loss rate of 14.3%. The Census Bureau released the first local-level results from its 2020 census to give Colorado and other states the data they need to redraw the boundaries of congressional and legislative election districts. In Colorado, that process is under way by twin newly-established independent commissions.

Senior challenge leads to 4,156 miles walked VI Highlands Ranch gets creative in encouraging fitness and health BY THELMA GRIMES TGRIMES@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
With the COVID-19 pandemic continuing to wreak havoc on everyday lives, being a fitness coordinator at an active living facility for senior citizens can be challenging. For Donna Way, the fitness coordinator at VI Highlands Ranch, the challenge has forced her to get more creative. Over the summer, Way said, she decided to create the Colorado Trails challenge, pushing residents to take steps whether virtually for health reasons, or live and in person through walking, hiking, biking or swimming. Way aimed to get 40 participants in the challenge, but got 36 signed up and separated into four teams. All four teams combined for 4,156 miles of hiking in the 30-day challenge. While all teams did great, Way said, CT Trekkers and the Colorado Trailblazers stepped up and got competitive. “They got so into this challenge that I had to tell them a couple of times not to hurt themselves or overdo it,” Way said. “I also couldn’t believe some of the trash talk. It was successful and all done in good fun.”
Residents of VI Highlands Ranch took on a hiking challenge that led to four teams walking more than 4,000 miles in a month. This group made their way up Waterton COURTESY PHOTO Canyon.
Heading into the final week of competition, the Trailblazers were leading with a healthy lead over the Trackers. May allowed some extra credit opportunities in the final days, telling teams they could attend the regular VI fitness classes and steps would count towards the team totals. By the end of the final week, the Trackers took advantage of the extra credit, winning 1,234 to 1,212 miles. Nine-year VI residents Mary and Stan Daton were part of the Trekkers. The couple said this was a great challenge that got them moving and meeting people and was entertaining. “We learned a lot about people here, especially how competitive
they can be,” Mary said. “The exercise was great, and since I will never be able to walk on the actual Colorado trails, having these videos was great.” Way said a lot of the competition was virtual, as she utilized YouTube to help participants feel like they were on Colorado’s trails. Stan said the videos were engaging, helping the couple not only get motivated to move, but also see parts of Colorado that were beautiful. On the second-place team were Alice and Tom Atkins. Still taking some shots at the competition, Tom said the Trailblazers definitely had the contest in the bag until Way decided to offer the extra-credit options.
“(Way) gave those extra bonus miles in that last week and that worked for them, helping them beat us,” Tom said. “But it was all in good fun.” Residents at VI for just over two years, Alice and Tom agreed the challenge was an opportunity to be creative in getting more exercise. Alice enjoys walking and Tom enjoys biking. Since Way found a way to calculate bike riding into steps, they both participated through the fitness programs they enjoy. “A challenge like this is really a good way to encourage residents to maintain their health,” Alice said. “It was a good physical and mental challenge that we all really had fun doing.” Still, the winners got the reward. The Trekkers were treated to a pizza party that featured beer and wine. After seeing the engagement, enthusiasm and level of fitness achieved during the Colorado Trails challenge, Way said she will look at other ways to do more in the future. Tom said he is looking forward to the possible challenge of taking on the 14,000-foot climbs through a virtual experience in the future. For all the negatives from the pandemic, Way said, getting more creative with encouraging active health and fitness has been a positive in using video technology and social platforms that allow residents to see the world from the comfort of home.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Thanks to open space director Cheryl Matthews, Douglas County’s Director of Open Space and Natural Resources since 2001, recently announced her retirement. Under Cheryl’s leadership the program is noted as one of the most cost effective and well managed open space programs in the country. Since 1994 the county has preserved 63,037 acres of the most beautiful Colorado landscape. Operating with the lowest open space sales tax within the Front Range counties she managed a department with a staff 10% the size of other counties. For every $1 used for preserving open lands her department has found funding partners to match that $1 to the amount of $2.92 This means funding partners have infused $149 million of matching funds into the county. Check out these open space properties and trails that you can access in Douglas County: Bayou Gulch, Colorado Front Range Trail, Columbine, Greenland, Iron Horse, Spruce Meadows, Spruce Mountain, Dawson Butte, Glendale, Hidden Mesa, Lincoln Mountain, Sharptail, Ringtail and Swallowtail.

and shops. As I was waiting to pay for a parking space, the woman in front of me turned around and she had the word “Empowered” on her shirt. I took the leap and asked her what the shirt was about. She shared that she was at a conference recently for her company and that the word “Empowered” was the theme for their event. And that it was one of her very favorite words. It’s one of mine too. Many years ago, I happened to be traveling back from an event in Las Vegas. I was representing Zig Ziglar at that conference and I was wearing the Ziglar logo on my dress shirt. There was a glitch somewhere in the system that created a problem for many travelers, me included. The line began to get agitated, and frustration boiled over. At this point in my career, I had traveled more than a million miles. And I just occupied my time reading and checking my phone knowing that there was nothing I could do other than patiently wait it out. A few groups around me were fanning
the flames of frustration and looking for sympathizers for the misery loves company club. One woman looked at me and said something about how awful the situation was and wondered why I wasn’t upset. Then she looked at the Zig Ziglar logo on my shirt. Then in a slightly condescending tone said, “Well you have to act calm and be positive, it’s what your company is all about.” My reply was straightforward and sincere as I shared with her that it was not just about the logo, it was about the message behind the logo. I also shared that I was frustrated too, but at that point all I could do was decide how I wanted to respond and how I could best use my time. Complaining was simply counterproductive. Although she somewhat dismissed my reply, I noticed others around us begin to pick up their book, open their laptop, or take out a magazine to occupy their time. One gentleman walked up to me and said something that was so meaningful to me. He told me that Mr. Ziglar would be proud that I rep-
resented his brand so well. Honestly, I had not thought about it that way when I made my comments. Until the woman called the logo into question, I had forgotten I was even wearing it. Whether we are wearing any type of clothing with a message or logo on it or not, our actions and words speak volumes about who we are and what our brand is as a person. Our actions and words could also very easily characterize the type of company we work for and the corporate culture we represent. What do people see when they see you? How do you handle yourself when challenges arise? I would love to hear your story at mnorton@ tramazing.com, and when we can remember that our brand is more than just the message or logo on our clothing, it really will be a better than good week. Michael Norton is the grateful CEO of Tramazing.com, a personal and professional coach, and a consultant, trainer, encourager and motivator to businesses of all sizes.
Watch marketplace to invest appropriately
S
ummer is coming to an end. The kids are going back to school, and we feel the year slipping away. We are well into the third quarter, and many investors FINANCIAL are amazed at how resilient the STRATEGIES stock market has been. This tends to cause some to worry about what is yet to come. My readers know by now that when I write about investing, it is in the context of your Patricia Kummer financial plan. This allows you to focus on your dreams and fears and ignore the vast amount of media hype that could concern you. Still, the economic environment impacts us all, and uncertainty can bring indecision if we lose our focus. Our mid-year economic outlook was recently posted, and this information can help calm some investor fears and provide guidance. Your advisor is trained to help you navigate economic changes as well as help you take advantage of certain opportunities. Our Chief Economist Bill Greiner states that the first half of the year,
we had real GDP (Gross Domestic Product) growth of 6.5%, but inflation also is on the rise and could increase to 3.5%. We are looking for a more comprehensive reopening of the economy to support this growth as well. The investment outlook based on fundamentals remains positive. This includes economic and earnings trends, Fed policy and interest rates. Valuations that measure how expensive stocks are remain neutral with a positive dividend yield when compared to interest rates. The technical price trends are also positive. In addition to these metrics, we also like to keep a list of the current “Wall of Worry” items to help keep investors’ perspectives in line. It appears that investors worry more about the headlines such as: new strains of coronavirus; inflation; fiscal and monetary policy; peak economic data and regulatory risks. What we advisors are watching is deeper than just the recent headlines. We monitor: economic growth; employment; corporate earnings; and interest rates. The wild cards are geopolitical risks in Russia, China and Iran.¹ We consider these types of risks by how much probability there is for a negative occurrence and how much it affects
our markets. So, how do you build a portfolio around these concerns and economic backdrop? First, review your financial plan, time frame, needs and wants with your advisor. Make sure you have proper diversification and not too much overlap. Then, seek the right amount of income and growth for your situation and design a strategy to manage tax efficiency and risk. Now it is time to implement this custom portfolio and watch the marketplace to invest appropriately. You can also review forward-looking trends to help determine where the next opportunity might be and consider working with your advisor on whether it makes sense for you to invest a portion of the portfolio for the future. Once you have a solid plan in place, headlines will be a small part of your concerns. You will be able to focus on improving your situation and perhaps even start building a legacy. 1: Mariner Wealth Advisors Crystal Ball Patricia Kummer has been a Certified Financial Planner professional and a fiduciary for over 35 years and is Managing Director for Mariner Wealth Advisors, an SEC Registered Investment Adviser.

Pausing contract was right move As a retired teacher who also did graduate coursework that included critical race theory philosophy training 20 years ago, I understand the current concern with the “equity policy” of Douglas County Schools. I believe it was wise (yes, pun intended) of Superintendent Wise to pause the contract with Gemini Group. While the Gemini consultants express dismay and disgust that parents are “demanding we not talk about race,” I don’t think they realize that is not the issue. We can’t teach American history without talking about racism. The real concern is over the extent at which these consultants want to dismantle systems, as F.A.I.R. co-leader Will Johnson reported hearing from his own workshop attendance. With the growing rise of tensions over the true background of CRT, Americans have good reason to pause. Do we want to divide people simply because of the color of their skin? What do we mean by “systemic racism” when more laws r than ever try to prevent racism in employment and education and housing? Do we want the current generation to feel perpetual guilt over the sins of our fathers? Or is there a way to be honest about our past without laying the heavy burx den of unwarranted shame that can cloud our future? We need to take a breath, analyze twhat we think and say, and realize that philosophy really does matter -when the end game polarizes people rather than draws them together. Linda Mazunik Lone Tree r

We are part of a seasoned professional health care cooperative that has worked for more than 50 years. I cannot help but conclude the problem is with Douglas County commissioners, not the Tri-County Health Department. I would guess from a tax burden perspective it is more efficient to belong to Tri-County than to create and maintain a new Douglas County Health Department. Is there any possibility the commissioners have a political motivation?

LIFE Metro area offers lesser-known historical sites BY ELLIOTT WENZLER EWENZLER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Many headstones in the Riverside Cemetery show family members buried near each other.
hile the Denver metro area is dotted with wellknown aging ranches and charming historical homesteads, some history lovers of the area may be in search of a different kind of site — one they either haven’t heard of before or that they must romp through the woods to access. In search of these types of unusual history sites, one place to look is the National Register of Historic Places. For each of the counties that surround Denver — not to mention all the counties in the United States — this register provides a list of historically significant sites, some of which are unique or little-known sites. Some of these sites, like an abandoned, rattlesnake-ridden military amphitheater in Golden, aren’t available for public access. Others, like Native American shelters in Douglas County, have a restricted location to protect them from being disturbed. But some on the list are simply often-overlooked historical sites in the area. The list includes bridges, farms, schools, archaeological sites and more and offers new discoveries for residents curious about all the nooks and crannies of their community’s history. Here are a few of the Denver area’s hidden history gems from the National Register of Historic Places and beyond. Pioneer graves in Commerce City Did you know that Denver’s oldest cemetery is mostly in Commerce City? Riverside Cemetery, located a half-mile north of I-70 at 5201 Brighton Boulevard, was built in 1876 and registered with the national register in 1994. While the 77-acre cemetery is surrounded by industrial properties, the cemetery itself serves as a peaceful resting place for many of Colorado’s pioneers. One afternoon in August, the giant cemetery stood mostly quiet and empty save for a few birds. The gravesite serves as the final resting place for three of Colorado’s governors — John Evans, Samuel Elbert and John Routt. Pioneers buried there include Augusta Tabor, a Gold Rush pioneer; Barney Ford, who escaped from slavery; and Silas Soule, an abolitionist and soldier who testified against Col. John Chivington and the Colorado Cavalry after the Sand Creek Massacre and was then assassinated in the streets of Denver. Throughout the cemetery there are dozens of unique headstones, including a log cabin replica, a giant horse sculpture, several large angel figures and a statue
of a man buried there. An online tour brochure of the cemetery guides drivers and walkers through the historic site, which is still open for new burials. The brochure tells the stories of several of the people buried there and provides general information about the cemetery. The informational pamphlet is available at www. FriendsofRiversideCemetery. org/visit-riverside. A nonprofit that helps preserve the cemetery, Friends of Historic Riverside Cemetery, accepts donations to help maintain the property, which they say is “in a state of rapid decline.” Some may notice that many of the trees on the property have died and the ground cover is mostly weeds and native grass. “Over the fall and winter of 2008-2009, several dead trees fell and damaged nearby monuments and a historic private mausoleum,” according to the nonprofit’s website. “Many more were taken down to manage this risk, but additional trees are in danger of falling during future storms or periods of strong winds.” The driveable and walkable cemetery is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily.
Walking among mammoths in Douglas County While many have heard of Dinosaur Ridge near Morrison, there’s more than one significant archaeological site in the area. Lamb Spring Archaeological Preserve in Douglas County is a less well-known site but it has the highest concentration of d mammoth remains in the state. Itm l also offers free tours. “You can go on the site and see t where they were,” said Cameron t Randolph, vice chair of the pre- T serve’s board of directors. In 1960, Charles Lamb was ex- t panding a pond fed by a natural e spring on his property when he came upon several large bones a that were later identified as Co- n 1 lumbian Mammoth remains. S After several excavations of the site, archaeologists found the w remains of at least five mammoths but there could be up to 30 t mammoths that died at the site. p During its life, an adult male d Columbian Mammoth could grow up to 14 feet high at its shoulder. Other remains found on the site include Ice Age horses, camels, sloths and bison. There’s also evidence that the site was used by prehistoric people in the area as a hunting site. If confirmed with more research, that would put humans in that area 2,000 years earlier than previously thought, Rudolph said. Today, the site is 35 acres of protected land between Roxborough Park and Sterling Ranch. It was added to the national register in 1997. Free tours of the site are available on the first Saturday of each month during much of spring, summer and fall. Visitors can see where the remains were SEE HISTORICAL, P15

Visit a castle near Morrison For those history lovers who yearn for a workout before their history lesson, there’s Castle Trail in Morrison’s Mount Falcon Park. The 6.7-mile, nearly 2,000-foot elevation gain loop trail leads hikers to the castle ruins of one of Denver’s early settlers and one of the area’s interesting historical characters: John Brisben Walker. In the park are both Walker’s stone mansion, destroyed by a fire, and the cornerstone of a nevercompleted home that Walker hoped would be a summer White House for the U.S. presidents. Born in 1847, Walker ended up in Denver 32 years later after having served as a general in the Chinese army, running for Congress, win-

ning and losing a fortune and managing two newspapers, according to Morrison Historical Society. Once in Denver, he dabbled in agriculture and made himself a new fortune before going on to develop River Front Park, an amusement park that also held Denver’s first rodeo. He made a series of other purchases including Governor Evans’ “Swiss Cottage” in Morrison and all of what is now Red Rocks Park and Mount Falcon. After a few years away from Colorado — during which time he bought the then-failing Cosmopolitan magazine, later sold it to William Randolph Hearst and also sponsored the first automobile race in the United States — Walker returned to Morrison in the early 20th century. From there, Walker began working on developing the area, building
a road into town, adding a tea house and constructing hiking trails. He also built a railway to the top of Mount Morrison, making it the longest cog railway in the world at the time. During this “period of enthusiasm” Walker also dreamed up the idea of a permanent summer home for U.S. presidents, according to the historical society. Construction began on top of Mount Falcon and the cornerstone was laid, but before it could be completed, the finances dried up and the project fizzled. Nearby, Walker built his home, a stone mansion that was destroyed by fire in 1918. Walker, by then a widower with a son, moved to Brooklyn and then died in 1931. Today, the remains of his home and his dream of a summer White House remain for visitors to see in Mount Falcon Park.

While there are so many that it takes quite a while, opening my daily emails is really a happy occupation these days, as I hear from theater companies, orchestras, dance companies, galleries, arts centers and more, with announcements of future plans for exhibits, plays, concerts ... Littleton’s Western Welcome Week, which wraps up Aug. 22, will close with a concert by the Littleton Symphony at Hudson Gardens. (Free, but it’s necessary to have a ticket — the orchestra hope you will choose to make a $10 donation. To do so, choose the $10 ticket.) Longtime conductor Jurgen de Lemos, who is soon to step down, will conduct a couple more concerts for the orchestra, as it seeks a successor. The Aug. 22 repertoire will include “Finlandia” by Sibelius; Dvorak’s Slavonic Dances, Williams: March from “Raiders of the Lost Ark” and more. See littletonsymphony.org.

HOUSING FROM PAGE 1
In 2020, it slowed down to about 25 mph. In 2021, the market spun out of control, hitting 95 mph. There are several factors contributing to the current market conditions, but mostly, it is the “California problem,” Eisenberg said. “For a long time, the California problem stayed in California,” Eisenberg said. “But now it is coming to Colorado as people in California are saying ‘hell with it.’ The housing prices are too high, taxes are too high, the cost of living is ridiculous. They are jumping ship and heading to Denver.” The problem, Eisenberg said, is that Colorado was already falling behind in building enough homes. Add in a continually growing population and the market becomes a problem, he said. According to the Denver Metro Real Estate Market Trends Report for July, Colorado’s population increased by about 50,000 people between July 2019 and July 2020. From 2010 to 2020, the state grew by about 760,000 people, the eighthhighest growth rate in the U.S. Jill Schafer, a member of the Denver Metro Association of Realtors (DMAR) and agent for Kentwood Real Estate, said there is an incredible lack of inventory across the Denver metro area’s 11-county market, which includes Adams, Arapahoe, Boulder, Broomfield, Clear Creek, Denver, Douglas, Elbert, Gilpin, Jefferson, and Park
It is hard to buy new and existing homes as inventory is scooped up quickly across the Denver metro area.
counties. Schafer said with population increases, local families are be-
ing forced to “drive until they find something they can afford.” Schafer explained a ripple effect, using her son as an example. He and his family could no longer afford the increased cost of homes in Denver, which meant driving south. He was lucky to land in Castle Rock, Schafer said, but by the time he moved in, his home value had already increased by tens of thousands of dollars. Shawn D., who requested that his last name not be used for workrelated reasons, said his family of five are currently living in a rental home in Highlands Ranch. Shawn said the “insane” housing market along the Front Range has him and his wife questioning their move to Colorado from Florida two years ago. Shawn said they sold their Florida home for $280,000, making him feel like they had a good down payment and would be fine in moving to Colorado. Instead, they have been met with one letdown after another. Shawn described a market where they get on waiting lists for new housing developments that only become a lost cause. Shawn, who works in downtown Denver when he is not working remotely, wanted to buy in Highlands Ranch. When that became too difficult, they started driving all over. Shawn said they have put offers on homes in Castle Rock, Evergreen, and anywhere else they could in the Denver metro area. They even considered homes in Bailey, which were also overpriced, he said. Adrian Espinoza, a Coldwell Banker real estate agent in Lakewood, said inventory is the biggest issue for clients looking for a first home, or families and couples looking to upgrade. Espinoza said on any given day

across Front Range, there are 5,000 homes up for sale. In a normal market, he said there should be between 20,000 and 30,000 listings. The lack of inventory cuts options for clients and drives prices higher. In January, DMAR estimated there were more than 24,000 active listings along the Front Range. In July, there were just over 3,000 homes up for sale. A Zillow report estimates home values along the Front Range have increased by an average of 20% from the same time last year. In Douglas County, the median home price is $656,281, a 20.1% increase from 2020. In Jefferson County, the median home price is $584,544, a 21.8% increase. Arapahoe County has the lowest increase, with the median home price of $490,501, a 16.3% increase. Espinoza said the problem with the reports listing median home prices that seem reasonable is that there is not enough inventory to sustain those numbers. Espinoza said in Castle Rock alone, homes are being scooped up so quickly and above asking, that there are few choices in the $600,000 range. Espinoza represents Courtnee Lamb in Castle Rock. Trying to sell her current family home to move into a bigger home with extra property has been a nightmare, Lamb said. “We put our home up for sale and it is at two weeks on the market,” she said. “No one expected that, which means when we are putting contingency offers for homes we want to buy. Sellers do not want to because a bigger cash offer will likely come later.” Lamb described a market where she and her husband submit an SEE HOUSING, P19

offer $40,000 above asking price one night, only to be outbid by someone offering $80,000 above asking the next morning. Lamb said they like Castle Rock and want to make sure their children remain in the same school, but the housing market is driving them to look in Elizabeth, Franktown and Colorado Springs. Espinoza said he advises his clients to wait if they can, hoping something will become available in the area where families want to live. But he admitted the current market is creating a lot of stress and frustration. Shawn said one of the most frustrating parts of trying to find a home is that it feels like families like his are no longer welcome in the Denver metro area. Eisenberg said Shawn is not wrong. As Californians make a lot of money selling their homes and move to Colorado, they have the funds to spend. “You have really rich people coming to a market where prices are great and spending an extra $80,000 above asking price is no big deal. It means nothing to them,” he said. As Californians keep moving to Colorado and other states, the housing market is changing, Eisenberg said. That means the drive to affordability for current families means shifting to housing searches farther south in Pueblo or heading out of state to Kansas or Idaho, he said.
As the population grows, housing inventory has decreased and some homes have sold SHUTTERSTOCK IMAGE well above asking prices.
Shawn said he signed another one-year lease on his rental home, noting that it came with a 3% increase. In the next year, Shawn said if his family cannot find a suitable home along the Front Range, they will leave the state. “I definitely feel like I have been priced out of my ability to grow and make this a longtime home,” he said. “If this market stays this way, people are going to leave. It is unhealthy, unstable growth.” Eisenberg said there are other factors driving prices and inventory.
Eisenberg said citizens fight growth. They want to preserve
open space and push for less housing developments. However, that means not enough homes are going up to stabilize the market, he said. “The Denver housing market has become one of the most expensive markets in the country,” Eisenberg said. “Politicians want to keep their jobs, so they don’t push for more housing. But the only solution is to build more homes.” Schafer said another factor is people are staying in the homes they have. Families see the market and decide to stay put. Older couples who would normally downsize are staying put because they cannot afford the rising cost of a townhome or condo. Eisenberg said when the average cost of a townhome or condo goes above $350,000 older couples cannot scale down and single young professionals and couples cannot move into the buyer’s market. In the end, Eisenberg said the reality is current Coloradans will start relocating to places like Boise because it is considered the new Denver.

This board, along with a community health assessment and a public health improvement plan, are intended to aid in the process. “We don’t have any preconceived ideas about what’s going to happen but we’re really reaching out to our community because we want them to advise us on the best steps going forward,” Commissioner Lora Thomas said in the meeting. Appointees’ backgrounds The 11 board members are: Doug Benevento, Luke Niforatos, Donald Parrot, Kevin Bracken, Jennifer Green, Mark Hampton, Katie Coleman, Kelsey Hall, Mary Beth Vasco, Kimberly Eloe and Katheryn Wille. Five of the board members are politically active residents, including Benevento, a former school board member in Douglas County; Niforatos, affiliated with a political group focusing on marijuana policies; and Hampton, a leader of a local conservative group, according to the committee members’ applications acquired by Colorado Community Media. After his time with CDPHE, Benevento served on the Douglas County School Board as part of the reform-minded movement, which supported vouchers, school choice and pay-for-performance for teachers. He also worked recently as the acting deputy administrator of the United States Environmental Protection Agency.

Hall works as the assistant county attorney for Jefferson County and serves as legal counsel for that county’s health department. Other board members include Wille, who works as a social and emotional learning contractor for the Douglas County School District; Eloe, who is the manager for physician marketing at Children’s Hospital Colorado; Vasco, an environmental lawyer and emergency manager; and Parrot, the CEO of a health-care consultant firm who once represented Douglas County on Tri-County’s board of health “until that board became dysfunctional,” he wrote in his application. Each commissioner nominated three board members and then two board members were selected at-large. The county declined to share information with Colorado Community Media on which commissioners selected which committee members. While a county spokesperson confirmed that the decisions were discussed in an Aug. 2 public work session, the minutes from that meeting did not include that information and it was not recorded. A Colorado Community Media public records request for the more than 50 applications for the committee was denied. “These are folks that are volunteering their time to help their neighbors, help us solve what has become if not a problem, definitely a real issue here in the community in terms of what is the public health solutions for Douglas County,” Commissioner George Teal said. The committee’s meetings will be open to the public, with both remote and in-person access. The first meeting is set to occur before the end of the month and a full schedule with more details is planned to be released on the county’s website at douglas.co.us/ newsroom.

TABOR FROM PAGE 1
Castle Rock Town Manager David Corliss said he has no problem with the part of TABOR that requires residents to approve tax increases. However, the restrictions and limits TABOR can put on a municipality to keep up with the cost of growth is a problem, he said. TABOR is a state tax and expenditure limit that includes the following elements: It is a Colorado constitutional amendment; it restricts revenue or expenditure growth to the sum of inflation plus population change; and it requires voter approval to override the revenue or spending limits. Colorado is the only state in the nation with TABOR. Castle Rock Town Attorney Michael Hyman is no stranger to how TABOR has created controversy and issues for state and local municipalities trying to balance a budget. In the 1990s when TABOR was passed by voters, Hyman worked for the City of Aurora. Hyman said that TABOR, on its face, seems like the dream scenario for voters. They get to decide their own tax increases and they get refunds when tax revenues exceed cap limits. However, Hyman said, the amendment had a lot of other language that did not get a lot of attention before being approved by voters in the 1992 election. One of those issues is how the revenue limits on municipalities work and how added revenues can count against a town. For instance, if Castle Rock gets a state grant for roads, schools or other projects, that counts as added revenue and goes against the TABOR revenue limits. If the town gets a federal grant, it does what it is supposed to do, serving as free money the town gets for improvements but does not count against the TABOR cap. In Castle Rock specifically, Corliss used the Crystal Valley Parkway interchange as an example. As the population continues to increase, the interchange is past due for revamping. The project is estimated to cost more than $75 million. Currently, the town has $25 million for
SHUTTERSTOCK IMAGE
the project. If Douglas County contributes funding, if grant funding is secured, if the Colorado Department of Transportation pitches in — the added revenue will count against Castle Rock at the end of the year when TABOR rules are applied. Corliss said TABOR rules have created a situation in which county and state governments working with local municipalities to make needed improvements is almost like a punishment because of how TABOR restrictions are applied. Corliss explained that the town is asking voters to approve a 10-year pause on TABOR that would not last forever. The funding would then go toward paying for police and fire personnel and funding the reconstruction of the Crystal Valley Parkway interchange at Interstate 25. It would also mean that state grants would not count toward end-of-year revenue totals. Besides the interchange, both the police and fire departments have publicly expressed concerns to the town council that with the town continuing to grow, they cannot afford to hire enough personnel to keep up. Corliss said in a town where public safety is listed as a top priority year after year by residents, a new revenue stream is needed to bring up staffing levels for both police and

fire. “Like the fire and police departments have said, if we do not grow anymore, they do not need extra staff,” Corliss said. “But that is not the case. We are going to keep growing.” According to the U.S. Census data released last week, Castle Rock continues to be one of the fastest-growing municipalities in the state, with a 51.6% population increase from 2010. According to the data, Castle Rock’s 2020 population was 73,158. In 2010, the population was 48,251. Corliss said growth is not going to stop, noting that the town is approving about 100 new-build permits per
month. While growth will eventually slow, Corliss said reaching a population of more than 100,000 is not unrealistic. Corliss said pausing TABOR would provide the town a revenue stream that would help the police and fire departments keep up with the rate of growth and help fund road projects that are needed as more people move in. Pausing or eliminating TABOR is not new to the state. Removing TABOR limitations has come to be known as “de-Brucing,” a termed named after the TABOR author, Douglas Bruce. Over the last three decades, local jurisdictions across the state have asked voters to either pause or eliminate TABOR altogether. Aurora is one of those that received voter approval to eliminate TABOR altogether. Corliss said he does not want to eliminate TABOR. He just wants voters’ approval to take a pause and allow the town to do what is needed. In 10 years, a future council could take up the issue again, Corliss said. Even today as municipalities cite what they see as flaws in TABOR, Bruce defends it, saying he regrets none of it and is angry at municipalities like Castle Rock for trying to cancel it. On Aug. 13, Bruce adamantly pointed out that it is part of the state constitution, saying it should not be changed and it does not matter why. Besides roads and other projects, the controversy around TABOR also focuses on state salaries and programs that have been limited due to the constitutional restrictions of TABOR.

Volleyball player aims way high Studying astrophysics, trip to Mars are among hopes for athlete BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Hollis Hanson is a volleyball player at Douglas County High School in Castle Rock and is an interesting person who is involved in much more than volleyball. Hanson wants to study astrophysics, visit Mars someday, is writing a paper on special relativity and general relativity and started her own business with her brother Shane. There might be a better word other that interesting to describe Hanson but for now let’s start with volleyball and her hopes for the upcoming season. Hanson played in 34 sets last season as a junior middle blocker and had 42 kills, 33 blocks and 15 service aces for the Huskies, who will be trying to follow up on the Huskies’ boys volleyball team that won the state championship last spring under coach Jason Fitzpatrick — who is also Douglas County’s girls volleyball coach. “We are really hoping to make it to state,” said Hanson. “I’m super excited because we have a couple first team all-league (Continental) players. That would be Amaris Smith and Caity Clancy. It’s a big goal but I really want to get there. “The boys put a little bit of pressure on us to keep a winning record for our coach but a little bit of

acceptance too because they were a very physical team with a mastermind behind hitting hard and the court position. “Now that will be coach Fitzgerald’s thing and we have to step it up with our physical ability and coming together as a team. That will be the biggest challenge for us.” Another challenge will be for Hanson to continue to follow astrophysics in whichever college she decides to attend. Right now she is leaning toward Rochester Institute of Technology. “Absolutely everything about it appeals to me since I was in third grade when I wanted to go into astronomy,” added Hanson. “I forget what grade I was in but I went to a
COURTESY OF HOLLIS HANSON
space camp in Hunstville, Alabama through NASA and that’s when I decided on astrophysics. Just studying not only why but how the universe works the way it does.” Mars is another interesting place than Hanson would like to study. “Just because Mars is a little bit different,” she explained. “I say a little bit different, it’s a lot different. Visiting would be such a cool thing to do, just studying the things we would not necessarily expect. “Like for example something we weren’t expecting when we sent the rover was the fact that the wind there was so strong that it took out the system in the rover. If a person was to go, we could find out some real cool things, helpful or not.”
She and her brother also found a way to keep busy during the pandemic and be helpful by making and selling pasta under the name of Palmisano Pasta. They still have the business but it does not have a website because they were concerned it might be considered an actual commercial kitchen. “It is still up and running,” she said. “My brother and I opened a business making and selling fresh homemade pasta to locals. We started making pasta, gave some to a friend and it was really good. I guess it was better than they expected it to be. “We started making and selling homemade pasta from our kitchen and it spread by word of mouth. A lot of people from all different parts of Colorado asked, like from Salida and we had a couple people from Wyoming were asking for pasta. “We sort of grew up around pasta,” she continued. “Palmisano Pastas is after my grandmother (Nina Palmisano). She was born and raised in Italy. We sell it by the pound and each pound takes about 20 minutes to make. One of our busier days we made 95 meals, about 23 pounds of pasta. We go and deliver it in the afternoons. It was nice to go and deliver it to get out of the house.” Besides volleyball, right now Hanson is writing a paper for her IB class. “I am currently writing a paper on special relativity and general relativity,” she said. “I am writing about time travel.” Interesting.
Goalie shifts gears for soccer role Keeper is laid-back off field, but not when in the net BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Michel Agostinho, boys soccer coach at Parker’s Legend High School, describes his 6-foot senior goalkeeper Jaden Robertson as a very humble and quiet individual. Robertson, however, doesn’t fit the mold of a typical keeper. Keepers are aggressive and vocal to keep their teammates in front of them organized. “Off the field I’m definitely not super outstanding,” said Robertson. “I kind of stay in my own lane and do what I need to do as the day goes by. “But I understand my position and my role a lot better. I know that I need
to communicate and really kind of guide my team from the back and help set them up.” Agostinho said Robertson is “a quiet leader but when he gets in between the pipes he changes. He is very humble and likable. He definitely shows up in big games.” Robertson was 6-1 with a 1.286 goals against average in seven matches last season as a junior during a season that was moved from the fall and didn’t start until March. And Robertson wasn’t the starting keeper at the start of the spring season. “We were getting into our tryouts and we were told our season had been delayed which was kind of a slap in the face for me,” recalled Robertson. “It kind of mentally reset me. I took those six or seven months we had in between and I did a lot of skiing which wasn’t a great idea and did a lot of other activities instead of soccer. “When we came back, I thought I had played good in
our preseason but I had obviously kind of shot myself in the foot and let myself get behind the other goalie. I was told I wasn’t starting for the first game of the season. It really became something that I knew I wanted and I worked hard for it. “I got my opportunity in the third game and we ended up winning the game. It wasn’t a good game for me and I wasn’t starting again but my opportunity came when my opposition got quarantined. I performed to show that I earned that spot.” Robertson has set goals and is anxious for this season. “Last year my main improvement point was goal kicks,” he said. “It has really improved and became a lot better. This year it is high balls and catching balls high above my head. My goal is just judging the flight of the ball and being able to jump through traffic to catch it and prevent a header.
Jaden Robertson
“My goals this season are mostly just win. I want to get better and better each year I play in high school. My sophomore year wasn’t a horrible year but not one I dreamed of. And then my junior year I was a lot better with a winning record. This year I’m hoping to do even better with a full season and hopefully produce more clean sheets than I have before.” And being a goalkeeper, Robertson has learned how
COURTESY OF JENNIFER ROBERTSON
to accept the bad along with the good. “It goes both ways,” Robertson explained. “If you get scored on everybody kind of looks towards you because you’re the last man. But if you have a great game and don’t get scored on, then everybody kind of praises you. You kind of have to overcome the bad parts of getting scored on and taking the blame for that to get to the good parts and the celebration.”

Underground Music Showcase is live again Annual three-day festival will feature performances by more than 100 live bands
IF YOU GO The 2021 Underground Music Showcase takes place Aug. 27-29 between Alameda and Sixth avenues on South Broadway in Denver. To view a lineup of musical acts, including band bios, or to purchase tickets, visit www.undergroundmusicshowcase.com.
BY RYAN DUNN AND CHRISTY STEADMAN CSTEADMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Claire Heywood expects she will be singing her heart out at this year’s Underground Music Showcase. “Speaking for myself, playing a festival represents a needed chance to release some pent-up energy from 2020,” Heywood said. “After so long without a space to play, I hope to sing my heart out and get a few things off my chest.” Heywood, a singer/songwriter of Denver, will be performing at UMS this year with a full backing band comprised of other local musicians. UMS will be their first fullband show since March 2020, and UMS-goers can anticipate hearing new material, including the song “Crushed Lemons,” which won’t be released until Aug. 27. The 2021 UMS will consist of more than 100 live musical acts perform-

ing during the three-day music festival, which takes place Aug. 27-29 across more than 12 indoorand-outdoor venues in the stretch of Broadway between Alameda and Sixth avenues. “I’m excited to see people who were distant or tangential friendly faces before the pandemic,” Heywood said, and “maybe people who I didn’t ever meet, but enjoyed seeing around locally at shows knowing they were supporting live music in
Denver.” This year’s UMS will be the second time for The Barlow, a Colorado country band from Arvada, to play the music festival. “We’re excited to put on the best show we can,” said Shea Boynton, a singer and guitarist with The Barlow. “We’re bringing the twang and a bunch of new songs off our latest album, ‘Horseshoe Lounge.’” The Barlow has been out performing live recently, but the band is particularly looking forward to UMS because “there’s always an unknown factor to festivals that make them exciting,” Boynton said. Tyler Imbrogno, a vocalist who also plays keyboards and guitar in Englewood’s Eldren — a psych-pop/ alternative band that formed in 2011 — is looking forward to reconnect-
ing with old friends, meeting new fans and discovering new artists at this year’s UMS. “It means a lot to us to be back,” Imbrogno said, “because playing UMS has served as an introduction to tons of friends, artists and venues through the years.” He added that this year will be the fourth or fifth UMS that Eldren has played. Eldren recently released an album of cover songs titled “Separation Sessions,” which the band recorded remotely during quarantine. “We had a blast doing it and were able to experiment with songs we loved, sometimes doing totally different versions,” Imbrogno said. “Who knows, we may even bust one of those out.” Otherwise, UMS-goers who attend Eldren’s set can expect “some old familiar tunes, as well as a couple new ones and surprises,” Imbrogno said. Eldren hasn’t performed live since February 2020, so the band is very much looking forward to performing at UMS, Imbrogno said. “I think everyone can expect an emotional and energetic show,” he added.

Places of use: (1) In the 84CW680 Decree, the original decreed places of use of the Subject Water Rights were as follows: The Subject Water Rights diverted water from the Cherry Creek alluvium for all municipal purposes within the service area, located on three noncontiguous parcels of land in Douglas County situated along Cherry Creek. These three parcels include the Vessel parcel which is 224 acres; the Franktown parcel which is approximately 277 acres; and the Parker parcel which is approximately 47 acres. The legal descriptions for each
parcel are more particularly described in Exhibit B of the 84CW680 Decree. (2) In the 95CW280 Decree, the places of use of the Subject Water Rights were changed to include the following: As to Parker No. 1 Well, Vessel No. 1 Well, Franktown No. 1 Well, Franktown No. 2 Well, Franktown QAL-3 Well, Vessel QAL-3 Well and Parker QAL2 Well, from the places of use in the 84CW680 decree; to the lands described in Exhibits A, B, C, D and E of the 95CW280 Decree and the historic or currently decreed places of use. The currently decreed places of use of water from Parker No. 1 Well, Vessel No. 1 Well, Franktown No. 1 Well, Franktown No. 2 Well, Franktown QAL-3 Well, Vessel QAL-3 Well and Parker QAL-2 Well are described in the 84CW680 Decree.

Depths. i. Vessel QAL-3 Well: 70 feet ii. Franktown QAL-3 Well: 70 feet 5. Amounts Claimed Absolute. The Applicant does not seek to make any amounts of the Subject Water Rights absolute in this case. 6. Outline of what has been done toward completion or for completion of the appropriations and application of water to a beneficial use as conditionally decreed, including expenditures. a. The Cherry Creek Project Water Authority (“CCPWA”) is a body corporate and politic, a political subdivision of the State of Colorado, and a water authority as defined in C.R.S. § 29-1-204.2, created by agreement of the members of CCPWA dated October 14, 2005. The purpose of CCPWA is to develop and operate a stable and efficient water system for its members. The current members of CCPWA are Inverness Water and Sanitation District (“Inverness”); the Town of Castle Rock (“Castle Rock”); Denver Southeast Suburban Water and Sanitation District (the “Pinery”); and Cottonwood Water and Sanitation District (“Cottonwood”), all of which are political subdivisions of the State of Colorado responsible for supplying water for municipal purposes within their respective service areas and boundaries (collectively, the “Members”). This list reflects the recent change in membership wherein Arapahoe County Water and Wastewater Authority (ACWWA) transferred its interest in the CCPWA to Castle Rock, which transaction closed in early 2021. CCPWA owns water rights in the Cherry Creek basin, and each member of CCPWA has a right to use a percentage of the water produced by the water rights owned by CCPWA. In November 2005, CCPWA purchased the water rights for a water supply project known as the Cherry Creek Project, including the subject water rights, from Western Water Company. The Decree entered in Case No. 10CW318 decreed the subject water rights as part of an integrated system of water rights and structures pursuant to C.R.S. § 37-92-301(4)(b), along with the other water rights and structures owned by CCPWA, stating that work performed and effort and costs expended on any of the water rights or structures that are part of its integrated water system shall, for the purposes of demonstrating reasonable diligence in future proceedings involving all water rights described in the Decree entered in Case No. 10CW318 be considered to be diligence on all features of CCPWA’s entire integrated water supply system. Decree for 10CW318 at Para. 7. CCPWA employs a manager and other staff to oversee the management and development of CCPWA’s integrated water supply, including the subject water rights, expending in excess of $250,000 for said services. b. During the diligence period, CCPWA also obtained the decree in Case No. 10CW318, changing the Subject Water Rights, inter alia, (i) to be diverted at alternate points of diversions, (ii) for new types of uses, and (iii) to include storage in Walker Reservoir and other places of storage. c. CCPWA expended time and effort, including expenditures exceeding $28,780, to begin revising and updating its water rights master plan in 2020 and 2021. This effort included modeling of CCPWA’s wells to support filling of Walker Reservoir. d. With respect to Walker Reservoir, a cornerstone of CCPWA’s integrated system and decreed place of storage for the Subject Water Rights, CCPWA: (1) completed reservoir design at a cost in excess of $300,000; (2) obtained a necessary Clean Water Act Section 404 permit at a cost of $11,006; (3) performed significant work to obtain floodplain permitting at the cost of $44,230; (4) secured a funding grant from the CWCB to construct the reservoir; (5) solicited bids and awarded a bid for construction. e. CCPWA also rehabilitated the Christiansen Well No. 3 to supply water to the CCPWA members at a cost of $15,500 and has supplied water to the Pinery during the diligence period, through which CCPWA can divert several of its water rights, along with management fees in excess of $30,000. CCPWA also rehabilitated the McLain Arapahoe Well and equipped it with SCADA at a combined cost of $208,773. f. CCPWA entered into an annual agreement with USGS for stream gage monitoring and calibration at a total cost of $9,956. g. CCPWA has also contracted with HRS Water Consultants for accounting services at a cost of $75,263. h. CCPWA has also contracted with Douglas County for the purchase of water rights in connection to the integrated system at a cost of $128,228. i. During the diligence period, CCPWA spent more than $360,000on attorney’s fees related to the development of its integrated system, including projects described above and for the protection and development of its water rights. During that period CCPWA also spent more than $100,754 on water rights engineering services to develop and protect its water rights. These legal and engineering services included the filing of statements of opposition to various water court applications within the Cherry Creek basin. j. CCPWA reserves the right to identify additional diligence activities or provide additional details as may be necessary. 7. Names and addresses of owners or reputed owners of the land upon which any new diversion or storage structure, or modification to any existing diversion or storage structure is or will be constructed or upon which water is or will be stored, including any modification to the existing storage pool. The owners of land on which wells and structures listed herein are located is provided as Exhibit B. WHEREFORE, Applicant requests that the Court enter a decree finding that Applicant has been reasonably diligent under all the facts and circumstances concerning the development of the Subject Water Rights, and continuing the Subject Water Rights for another diligence period.

Woodman Dr., Parker, CO 80134 (Please address all correspondence and inquiries regarding this matter to Applicant’s attorney: Robert F. T. Krassa, Krassa & Miller, LLC, 2300 Canyon Blvd., Suite 2, Boulder, CO 80302, 303-4422156) APPLICATION FOR FINDING OF REASONABLE DILIGENCE in DOUGLAS COUNTY Name of Structures: Parker Iliff Intake and Parker Powell Intake. 3. Describe conditional water rights giving the following from the Referee's Ruling and Judgment and Decree: a. Date of Original Decree: July 20, 2015, Case 03CW428, Water Division No. 1. b. List all subsequent decrees awarding findings of diligence (all in this Court): not applicable as the present application is the first diligence proceeding for the subject water rights. c. Legal description of points of diversion (see also maps attached as Exhibit A): i. Parker Iliff Intake: in the SE/4NW/4 Section 25, T 9 North, Range 52 West of the 6th P.M. in Logan County, at a point 2310 feet from the west line and 2100 feet from the North line of said Section 25. ii. Parker Powell Intake: in the NW/4SE/4 Section 1, T. 9 North, R. 51 West of the 6th P.M. in Logan County at a point 1580 feet from the east line and 2500 feet from the south line of said Section 1. d. Source: South Platte River e. Date of Initiation of Appropriation: December 9, 2003. f. Amount: 40 cfs (conditional) total combined diversions at the Parker Iliff Intake and the Parker Powell Intake, subject to a total volumetric limit of 18,000 in any Water Year (April 1 to March 31). Total annual combined diversions on the Parker Water Rights shall not exceed 94,000 acre-feet over any consecutive period of ten Water Years. These volumetric limits apply irrespective of whether diversions occur pursuant to a call or under free river conditions. g. Use: i. The Parker Water Rights will be transported via suitable stream channels, reservoirs, pumps and pipelines for all municipal purposes of Parker Water and Sanitation District including domestic, industrial, commercial, manufacturing, stock watering, recreational, piscatorial, fish and wildlife, fire protection, street washing, hydroelectric power production, and will also be used for exchange, replacement, and augmentation. Parker will use and re-use water diverted under the Parker Water Rights to extinction. The Decree in 03CW428 did not adjudicate a water storage right, and the mention therein of reservoirs as part of the project of which the water rights decreed therein will be components, was not intended to imply that a water storage right was adjudicated therein. ii. The place of use is within the boundaries of Parker Water and Sanitation District as those boundaries may from time to time be changed, and any locations of out-of-District service pursuant to contracts and the District’s Rules and Regulations. The service area of the District is presently in portions of Township 6 South, Range 65 West, Township 6 South, Range 66 West, Township 6 South, Range 67 West, Township 7 South, Range 65 West Township 7 South, Range 66 West and Township 7 South, Range 67 West, in Douglas County, Colorado. iii. Although the 03CW428 Decree established that the subject water may be used for exchange, replacement and augmentation, no exchange or plan for augmentation was sought or approved by that decree. Accordingly, the subject water may not be used for exchange, replacement or augmentation except pursuant to a subsequent decree or an approved Substitute Water Supply Plan. 4. Provide a detailed outline of what has been done toward completion or for completion of appropriation and application of water to a beneficial use as conditionally decreed, including expenditures: a. During the diligence period the following capital improvements were made to Parker’s water system for a total of over $ 137 million: Ridgegate 42" water main, Canyons 36" water main, water treatment plant and various other building improvements, Canyons Well Facility, Ridgegate Well Facility and numerous water main, fire hydrant and other infrastructure components. All of these improvements increased Parker’s ability to use the subject conditional water rights. b. The subject water rights have always been a part of a larger project concept in order to deliver the yield of the subject water rights to Parker in an efficient and cost effective manner. During the diligence period, Parker conducted numerous engineering, economic, geotechnical investigations, discussions and negotiations as part of planning the project which ultimately culminated in the cooperative and joint Water Court application of Parker and Lower South Platte Water Conservancy District in Case
19CW3253. The subject water rights are an integral part of that Project. c. Professional investigations and reports conducted for Parker during the diligence period included: Long-Term Water Supply Plan report by Providence Infrastructure Consultants 2015; CH2M Technical Memo January-May 2018 Long Term Water Supply Strategic Plan; Jacobs Technical Memo December 2019 Long Term Water Supply Strategic Plan; RJH Consultants Inc. August 2020 Feasibility Report for Long Term Water Supply in Washington and Logan Counties, with focus on geotechnical aspects; Lytle Water Solutions LLC (“LWS”) Ditch Flow Measurement Report regarding the Iliff & Platte Valley Ditch and the Powell and Blair Ditch August 24, 2020; the LWS development, operation and continual improvement of a point flow model for the project; Environmental Permitting Assessment report by E.O.

Parker conducted negotiations with and became a member of the Northeast Colorado Water Cooperative in establishing the project as a cooperative project with a local entity. Lower South Platte Water Conservancy District subsequently became the cooperating entity as its authorizing statute is more appropriate for project development. e. In addition, Parker has participated as an opposer in various water court applications of others as necessary to protect ability to operate the project of which the subject water rights are a part. f. Parker has spent over $ 800,000 on engineering, other professional reports and legal services as part of developing the project represented by pending case 19CW3253 which is essential to placing the subject conditional water rights to beneficial use. g. All of these activities and expenditures were and are essential to the proper development and use of the subject water rights. Parker has in all respects diligently worked toward placing these water rights to beneficial use. 5. Names and addresses of owner of the land upon which any new diversion or storage structure or modification to any existing diversion or storage structure is or will be constructed or upon which water is or will be stored, including any modification to the existing storage pool: As a stockholder in the Iliff and Platte Valley Ditch Company and the Proctor Water Company (also known as Powell and Blair Ditch Company), Parker owns or has the right to use the sites upon which all structures associated with this matter will be located.

APPLICATION FOR ADJUDICATION OF DENVER BASIN GROUNDWATER IN DOUGLAS COUNTY. 2. Summary of Application. By this Application, the Applicants seek to adjudicate the Denver Basin groundwater underlying their 18.37 acre property in Douglas County, Colorado. This includes nontributary groundwater in the Laramie-Fox Hills aquifer and not-nontributary groundwater in the Denver and Arapahoe aquifers. 3. Jurisdiction: The Water Court has jurisdiction
over the subject matter of this application pursuant to C.R.S. §§ 37-92-302(2) and 37-90-137(6). 4. Underground Water Rights Claimed: A. Legal Description of Subject Property. Applicants seek to adjudicate the Denver Basin groundwater underlying their property, which consists of approximately 18.37 acres of land located in the Northeast 1/4 of the Southeast 1/4 of Section 20, Township 8 South, Range 67 West of the 6th Principal Meridian, in Douglas County, Colorado, with a street address of 1288 S. Peak View Drive, Castle Rock, Colorado 80109, and otherwise described as Lot 9 of Castle Mesa South (“Subject Property”). The Subject Property is depicted on the map attached to the Application as Exhibit A. B. Proposed Wells. Wells that will withdraw the groundwater sought to be decreed by this Application have not yet been constructed, nor have well permits been filed. Prior to constructing any well to withdraw the subject groundwater, Applicants will apply to the State Engineer for a well permit. Any wells necessary for the withdrawal of ground water adjudicated pursuant to this application will be located on the Subject Property pursuant to C.R.S. § 37-90-137(4). C. Source of Water. The groundwater to be withdrawn from the LaramieFox Hills aquifer underlying the Subject Property is nontributary, as defined in 37-90-103(10.5), C.R.S., and the Denver Basin Rules, 2 C.C.R. 402-6. The groundwater to be withdrawn from the Denver and Arapahoe aquifers underlying the Subject Property is not-nontributary, as defined in C.R.S. § 37-90-103(10.7) and the Denver Basin Rules, 2 C.C.R. 402-6. The not-nontributary Denver and Arapahoe aquifers are located greater than one mile from contact with any stream system and, therefore, pursuant to C.R.S. 37-90-137(9) (c), the augmentation requirements for wells in these aquifers require the replacement of four percent of annual pumping to the affected stream system to prevent injury. D. Estimated Ground Water Available and Rates of Withdrawal. Applicants request the right to withdraw all the legally available groundwater from nontributary and not nontributary sources underlying the Subject Property at rates of flow necessary to withdraw the entire amount permitted under any decree granted pursuant to this application. The actual pumping rates for each of Applicants’ wells will vary according to aquifer conditions and well production capabilities. Applicants will withdraw all of the groundwater in all aquifers through wells to be located anywhere on the Subject Property, and will waive the 600-foot spacing rule as described in C.R.S. § 37-90-137(2)(b)(I)(B) for wells located on the Subject Property. Applicants may also withdraw an amount of groundwater in excess of the total allowed average annual amount of withdrawal pursuant to Rule 8.A of the Statewide Nontributary Ground Water Rules, 2 C.C.R. 402-7. The estimated average annual amounts of withdrawal from the subject aquifers, as indicated below, are based upon the Denver Basin Rules, 2 C.C.R. 402-6. Applicants estimate that the following values are representative of the aquifers underlying the Subject Property: Aquifer
Net Sand (feet)
Estimated Annual Amount (AF)
Denver 327 Arapahoe 288.7 Laramie-Fox Hills 176
10.7 9.0 4.8
The average annual amounts available for withdrawal from each aquifer will depend upon the hydrogeology of those aquifers underlying the Subject Property. The decreed amounts may vary from the above to conform with the State’s Determination of Facts. E. Well Fields. The Applicants request that they be permitted to produce the full legal entitlement from the Denver Basin aquifers underlying the Subject Property through any combination of wells. The Applicants request that these wells be treated as a well field. As the Applicants’ wells are constructed, well permit applications will be filed in accordance with C.R.S. § 37-90-137(10). F. Proposed Uses. Domestic and ordinary household purposes, livestock watering, irrigation of lawns and gardens, swimming pools and recreation, aesthetic ponds and features, fish and wildlife propagation, fire protection purposes, and augmentation and replacement purposes. The Applicants also request that the water may be used, reused, and successively used to extinction, both on and off the Applicant’s Property, to any replacement or augmentation requirement. Applicants shall only be allowed to construct wells or use water from the not-nontributary aquifers adjudicated herein pursuant to a court-approved plan for augmentation covering the stream depletions from such not-nontributary aquifers in accordance with C.R.S. § 37-90-137(9)(c). 5. Name and Address of Landowner: Applicants are the owners of the Subject Property at issue in this Application. The Application is 5 pages.

James J. Petrock, Eric K. Trout, Hayes Poznanovic Korver LLC, 1999 Broadway, Suite 3200, Denver 80202. APPLICATION FOR UNDERGROUND WATER RIGHTS FROM NONTRIBUTARY AND NOT NON-TRIBUTARY SOURCES AND APPROVAL OF PLAN FOR AUGMENTATION, IN THE NONTRIBUTARY DENVER, ARAPAHOE AND LARAMIE-FOX HILLS AQUIFERS AND THE NON-NONTRIBUTARY UPPER DAWSON AQUIFER in DOUGLAS COUNTY. Subject Property: 2 contiguous parcels totaling 5 acres generally located in the NE1/4, SE1/4, Section 29, Township 10 South, Range 67 West of the 6th P.M., Lots 35 and 18, Spruce Mountain Estates, also known as 1116 and 1134 Yarnell Dr, Larkspur, Douglas County, State of Colorado, as shown on Exhibit A (“Subject Property”). Applicants are the sole owners of the Subject Property. Well Permits: There is one existing Upper Dawson Aquifer domestic well on the Subject Property under Well Permit Number 238826. This well will be re-permitted under the plan for augmentation requested in this application. Additional well permits will be applied for prior to construction of additional wells. Source of Water Rights: The Upper Dawson aquifer is not-nontributary as defined in C.R.S. § 37-90-103(10.7), and the Denver, Arapahoe, and Laramie-Fox Hills aquifers are nontributary as defined in C.R.S. § 37-90-103(10.5). Estimated Amounts: Applicants estimate the following annual amounts may be available for withdrawal: Aquifer Upper Dawson (NNT) Denver (NT) Arapahoe (NT) Laramie-Fox Hills (NT)
Annual Amount (acre-feet) 4.35 3.5 3.68 1.36
Proposed Uses: Domestic, commercial, irrigation, stockwatering, fire protection, and augmentation purposes, including storage, both on and off the Subject Property. Jurisdiction: The Court has jurisdiction over the subject matter of this application pursuant to C.R.S. §§ 37-90-137(6), 37-92-203(1), 37-92-302(2). Summary of Plan for Augmentation: Groundwater to be Augmented: 2.1 acre-feet per year of Upper Dawson Aquifer groundwater. Water Rights to be Used for Augmentation: Return flows from the use of not nontributary and nontributary groundwater and direct discharge of nontributary groundwater. Statement of Plan for Augmentation: The Upper Dawson Aquifer groundwater will be used for domestic purposes, including in-house use, irrigation, commercial, stockwatering, and fire protection, including storage, through one or more wells, both on and off the Subject Property. Applicants reserve the right to amend the amount and uses without amending the application or republishing the same. Sewage treatment for in-house use will be provided by non-evaporative septic systems. Return flow from in-house use will be approximately 90% of that use, and return flow from irrigation use will be approximately 15% of that use. During pumping Applicants will replace actual depletions pursuant to C.R.S. § 37-90-137(9)(c.5). Depletions occur to the East Plum Creek stream system and return flows accrue to that creek system and are sufficient to replace actual depletions while the subject groundwater is being pumped. Applicants will reserve an equal amount of nontributary groundwater underlying the Subject Property to meet post pumping augmentation requirements. Applicants request the Court approve the above underground water rights and augmentation plan, find that Applicants have complied with C.R.S. § 37-90-137(4) and water is legally available for withdrawal, find there will be no material injury to the owners of or persons entitled to use water under any vested water right or decreed conditional water right, and grant such other and further relief as is appropriate. 2 pages.
