Plans to unify move forward
Since the termination of the Parker water inclusion in February, the path towards dissolution of the Castle Pines North Metro District, or CPNMD, has been unclear. But in a unanimous decision on June 20, the CPNMD approved an inter-
governmental agreement, or IGA, to transfer its stormwater system and necessary property rights to the city of Castle Pines – handing over one of its main responsibilities and bringing the body a step closer to dissolution.Untilthisdecision, CPNMD provided its community with stormwater, water and wastewater services and managed the district’s parks, trails and open spaces, according to itsThewebsite.newIGA transfers the ownership of the district’s stormwater

Douglas County school board talks implementation of equity policy
Kane to continue process
“I would like to know if there are violations and I’d like to know what’s happening with that policy.
Douglas County school board members indicated they will direct Superintendent Erin Kane to create an implementation plan and monitoring report for the district’s equity policy this year.
Discussions about the district’s equity policy ramped up earlier this year when the board approved a resolution asking the superintendent to recommend changes to the policy by Sept. 1. The board waived that deadline in August.
Board members split on whether to have Kane focus on gathering comments about potential changes to the policy, but agreed they wanted more information on the implementation and impacts of the policy.

and foremost,” Peterson said. “What does it look like to the superintendent based on the feedback from all of the Petersongroups.”went on to say the board would still need to deliberate whether to change the policy and what changes to make.
“I personally still believe the policy is overly broad and vague and I believe our charter as a board is to not have overly broad and vague policies,” he said. “I would like more specificity. That’s not to say blow it
The equity policy was enacted in 2019 and remains in effect as it was approved.
Kane presented her plan to engage the community for feedback on the equity policy to the board at a Sept. 13 workshop. She outlined three main questions around the implementation of the policy and suggested a deadline of March 31 to present that feedback to the board.
“Given our community and how actively engaged our community is on this work, I would want to specify based on feedback what the implementation will look like and will not look like and present that to you at the March meeting,” Kane said.
Members of the Douglas County School Board.
The board did not take action on the discussion, but plans to vote on next steps at the Sept. 27 meeting.
The proposed questions ask what people want to see happen, what fears they have and what questions they have. The plan lists the district’s equity advisory council, staff, students and parents as some of the main groups to be involved.
In general, the letter is supportive of the goal of the MLO to raise compensation, but says DCSD’s decision isn’t inclusive of all students in Douglas County.

We receive questions about all kinds of assets that are not “typical”. These include things like reward points, airline miles, season tickets, cryptocurrency, digital tokens and art, firearms, and even “heirloom” property, such as the family cabin. It’s important to understand how these assets are handled by the court or how they are transferred. Each of the assets listed above is handled in a completely different way. Reward points and airline miles (or anything similar) are typically handled by the institution that holds them. Most often a credit card company or bank. However, similar to an asset like season tickets, the holding institution will have specific instructions as to how, if at all, they can be passed. These things are addressed in the contract that is signed by the member. You will want to read the contract carefully and understand what it says. Often times, these things cannot be transferred to a beneficiary, there are exceptions, however.
It is important to remember that your Estate Plans are just that – plans. The untimely event of incapacity or death is when we execute those plans. Estate planning is never about how much you have, but how much you care about what you have.
STORMWATER
CPNMD president Chuck Lowen did not respond to Colorado Community Media’s requests for comment.
“Both from a capital needs as well as an annual operations standpoint, just having two governmental entities really made for inefficiencies in the management of that system,” Penny said.
According to CPNMD board member Tera Radloff, transferring stormwater rights is a step
Because of this IGA, Radloff said the district can also put more of its focus towards water and wastewater services. After the Parker water deal was terminated, the board started looking into a wide range of water providers for the district, including Centennial Water and Sanitation, Aurora Water, Castle Rock Water, Parker Water and Sanitation and the possibility of remaining as a smaller water district.Ifthedistrict decides to pursue a new inclusion plan, there would be another vote would be required in a special election, Radloff said. The election result in which CPNMD customers overwhelmingly approved the Parker inclusion plan would not be applicable to a new water inclusion decision, she said.
According to the IGA, the city may alter existing stormwater fees charged to city residents based ondocumented costs of maintaining the system, projected future capital improvements and other relevant factors.District customers currently pay $5 per month for stormwater services, said former CPNMD district manager Jim Worley in the June meeting. CPNMD vice president Chris Lewis expressed concern about the potential for fees to rise under the city’s management.
According to Marencik, the fees will be determined based on a full-scale engineering assessment of the condition of the stormwater system and associated maintenance
“Withoutneeds.knowing exactly what’s going on, what the current condition is and needs going forward, there’s no reliable way to estimate (the fees),” Marencik said. “Under state statutes, any changes have to be fully justifiable about why we’re doing that - we actually have to have some concrete numbers to back that up.”

Penny said the estimated fees from this analysis would be presented to the CPNMD board in the first quarter of 2023.

towards consolidation of the city and the district, which would create more efficiency of government. This increased efficiency could eventually be reflected in where city taxpayer’s funds are going, she said.“The 3,500 residential and commercial customers on the west side are paying for basically two whole administrations,” said Radloff, who is the former mayor of Castle Pines. “There could be more efficiencies if those two combined.”
FROM PAGE 1
In addition to creating inefficiency, the preexisting stormwater system posed liability concerns for Castle Pines, said Joseph Marencik, the city’s stormwater coordinator. Castle Pines has a stormwater permit from the state that imposes regulations the city must meet, he “Somethingsaid. could happen in the metro district system and… even though we didn’t cause it, as soon as it enters our system, we now become one of the responsible parties,” he Marenciksaid.said having rights to the metro district’s stormwater system gives the city more control over the quality of stormwater services for all residents.
The News-Press 7September 22, 2022
In addition to the stormwater IGA, Radloff said she hopes CPNMD will soon transfer ownership and management of its parks, trails and open spaces to the city. This would contribute to efficiency in management and would reduce complications in transferring stormwater easements, as a lot of the district’s stormwater infrastructure exists in its open space property, Penny said.
The closing date for the stormwater IGA is Sept. 30.
The groups will discuss this idea in CPNMD’s study session on Sept. 21, Radloff Accordingsaid.toPenny, transferring stormwater and parks, trails and open spaces to the city implements the council’s overall goal of being a single governance system with ease of communication for citizens.“From a city council perspective, that is serving the community and making it easy for the public to maintain the accountability that comes with that,” he said.

Most recently, Johnson founded B’s Craft Deli & Market on the ground floor of the Encore building, a seven-story residential and commercial use development near Town Hall. The shop, which can seat about 30 people inside and another 30 people on its patio, started serving its unique sandwiches — like a Korean Philly with shaved beef and kimchi or a hot dog topped with bacon, refried beans and jalapenos — the fourth week of August. The following week it began tempting shoppers from its colorful deli cases with prepared side dishes plus fresh steaks, chicken and fish for cooking
Johnson’s career in the restaurant industry, which spans more than four decades, began when he was 13 years old with a summer job as a dishwasher. He became an executive chef at the age of 22 and worked in corporate restaurant circles for a time before becoming a business owner himself. His first restaurant in Castle Rock, Z’Abbracci, opened in 2017. It serves pizza, pasta and beer in a nearly 100-year-old building three blocks north of his new endeavors.

The county’s only public health order, which was approved in October 2021, initially was intended to prevent the school district from enforcing a mask mandate in schools. Then, the health department was sued by the school district and the families of nine students at high risk for COVID-19 and a judge issued a temporary halt of the order.
Michael Hill, the public health director for Douglas County’s new health department, moved to the job from his position with the San Luis Obipso Public Health Department in California.

In the April 25 meeting, Toborg said because the town doesn’t separate food for home consumption from other items purchased at a grocery store, the fi gures for how much revenue comes from the tax aren’t correct. He said he believes he has a more accurate fi gure but didn’t provide it.
An initiative would need 7,000 signatures from town voters before it could move forward, Toborg said.
Town Finance Director Mary Lou Brown has estimated that the tax provides between $7 million and $10 million annually for the town’s general fund, which is the fund that pays for the police department, roads and parks, along with other expenditures.

Toborg added that if voters approved a repeal of the 3% grocery tax, also known as the food for home consumption tax, it wouldn’t be implemented until after a bond on the town’s recreation center is satisfi ed in 2025.

When pressed on this decision to begin an initiative without being directed to do so by the council, Toborg said he had gotten approval from legal staff.
In March, the county agreed to increase the maximum total payment to $40,000. In April it was increased to $55,000 and in June it was increased to $75,000.
Opponents of the plan have come from across the political spectrum, including Rep. Lauren Boebert, Gov. Jared Polis, Sen. Cleave Simpson, RAlamosa and both U.S. senators.

“The permanent retirement of thousands of acres of irrigated lands makes it very difficult to create a ‘win-win’ with the San Luis Valley,” according to the memo.
Teal has spoken in favor of the proposal, saying based on the county’s need for water, they should consider every possible option. RWR has said their proposal could provide water for about 70,000 Douglas County households.
Commissioner George Teal, a longtime supporter of the plan, said during the Sept. 13 meeting that Leonhardt’s advice reflects the current legal and political setting and that things could change in the decades it would take for the project to come to“Wefruition.aretalking quite frankly, a generational work project in order to bring water to Douglas County,” he said. “I remain an advocate for proceeding forward with RWR.”

The salesperson that the sales manager was coaching asked her for some guidance on a proposal that was being prepared for a potential prospect. As the salesperson took her through the proposal that was filled with information about every possible product and service that the company offered, she stopped and asked, “Is the prospect really interested in everything that we sell?” The answer was “no,” they were very focused on two specific solutions. She asked the salesperson why he was including everything else. The answer that came back seemed one of desperation, “My numbers are off, and I really want them to see more of our offerings in hopes that I can make the deal a bit bigger.”

his election year will have a lot of tax questions for voters to consider as they sort through ballots that are expected to hit the mail starting on Oct. 17. As our reporters have worked to break down what each community, county and school district is asking for, I have seen a lot of Facebook chatter about just voting no, sometimes citing interesting reasoning.Wecanstart with the Douglas County School District. It has been interesting to see the comments and opinions posted about the school district asking for a rather sizable bond and mill levy override. One of the main reasons for saying no seems to be centered around distaste for the current school board.
As the groans started to rumble loudly through the audience at the thought of a 115-slide death march through PowerPoint, the presenter allowed just enough time to capture their attention before saying, “Actually it sounds like this group is my kind of group, the good news is that I only have three slides, and we will have more dialogue today than presentation, sound better?”
no secret that Colorado is not doing exactly what it should be doing at the state level to fund education. If Douglas County wants to continue to reach a level of excellence they require — more money has to come from you to do it.
In 2021, Castle Rock probably got ahead of the crowd by asking voters for four ballot measures on an off year. I remember in discussions, Mayor Pro Tem Kevin Bracken said he was worried too many tax questions may become confusing. They went with four — two passed.

Why do we use so many words when explaining or defending? Because we are trying to sell the other person or people around us on our side of the story. We believe that the more we say, the more persuasive we become. When in fact, it is the opposite. My experience tells me that the more we talk, the more opportunities we miss to gain consensus, to win over an audience, or apologize and reconcile
To those saying no solely because of the board elected to the district, I say that may not be the best reason. You see, this funding, if approved, will benefit teachers and the district long after the terms of the seven members currently serving on the board end.
Before you say no
the less-is-more approach was the much better way to go.Have you ever found yourself in a situation where you felt the need to explain your position or that you had to apologize? And when you did, did you ever find yourself talking more than you really needed to talk? This happens all the time to many of us. We think the more we speak, the more we say, and the more we say, the more they hear. And when we keep speaking, sometimes we say even more things we didn’t really mean or using words that we really didn’t need to use. A less-is-more approach tends to restore normalcy faster than a flurry of babbling words. Sometimes there are situations that need to be talked through when disagreements or conflicts arise, or when we are faced with difficult conversations and situations. That is a healthy dialogue and not a monologue, so that is different. However, sometimes the less we speak, the clearer our points are made and the faster we come to a resolution and a best pathProverbsforward.10:19 reads, “When there are many words, sin is unavoidable, but the one who controls their lips is prudent.” Such a great less-is-more lesson right there.

the population is paying into Social Security, but with low unemployment, many jobs remained unfilled, and this creates lost revenue.
These measures made it possible for us to begin improving teacher and staff compensation by correcting so-called market-based pay gaps and pay freezes. The MLO supported the addition of counselors and career and technical education (CTE) instructors and provided new teachers the highest starting pay in the metro area. Simultaneously, we prioritized development of a new, predictable and competitive salary schedule. It’s essential we continue this path of investing in our DCSD staff. Activating and sustainably funding this new and improved schedule will ensure we have in place the best educators and staff for our students.

A “yes” vote gives students more choice, as neighborhood schools will be built where needed. A “yes” vote guarantees sustained implementation of a predictable and competitive compensation structure for DCSD employees. We believe the significant financial needs of our school district outweigh concerns with current leadership. We also have confidence that Directors Hanson, Meek and Ray will continue working to provide a transparent decision-making process that prioritizes student needs as future budgets are developed and expended.

The five largest economies, U.S., China, Japan, Germany, and the U.K., have an average of 24.4% of their population that are age 65 or older.¹ This age group is typically referred to as non-productive, or of retirement age. A strong economy needs a strong labor force and currently we are heading toward one-fourth of the population potentially creating a drag onNowresources.let’slook at the economic backdrop to this aging population. Growth has eluded the United States the last two quarters, reporting negative GDP (Gross Domestic Product).

For Stimpson, who originally moved from London to New Jersey and then to Colorado, climate played a role in his decision. Not only was his grass not doing well due to the weather, but he felt a moral responsibility to switch it
That viewpoint is changing with her own home in Colorado. She and her husband bought their first home in Hudson, Wisconsin with a brook running through their half-acre backyard. After moving to Colorado, water remains an important concern for her.
Until last year, those yards were two green Kentucky bluegrass lawns. In 2021, she and her husband embarked on a project to replace more than 50% of the lawn with rocks, gravel and native plant species.
“When my grandson was three, the thing he loved best was sitting in the gravel with a spade and a bucket,” he said. “Filling it up, emptying it, filling it up. He didn’t care about the grass.”

She did what made sense — the majority of the change took place in her front yard since her dogs use the grass in her backyard. In the particularly sunny spots in the front, she replaced it with gravel since the grass didn’t grow well in the sun. She used gravel on the side of her house and made a utility space for trash bins.
Her backyard takes in a lot of heat and sun, making it hard to keep the Kentucky bluegrass alive. Still, she wanted the grass aesthetic and plans to replace a portion with native grasses that don’t require much water and thrive in the sun. She added a patio as well.
“It’sout. been true for many years that we’ve got a drying planet. The effects of water stress are going to be the chief impact of climate change on a state like Colorado, so anything we did to reduce our personal responsibility for that water stress was a positive move,” he said.
Matthew Makley, a professor of history at Metropolitan State University of Denver, said the popular Kentucky bluegrass isn’t native to the United States at all.

“There was water everywhere, but we don’t have that (in Colorado),” she said.So she yanked out the portions of both her lawns, replaced them with less water-intensive plants and created walkways with gravel.
One of those cul-de-sac homeowners is Emily Brooks, who maintains an 11,598-square-foot yard.
Her neighbors took notice of the change and jumped in. Two homes in the cul-de-sac hired the same landscape designer and changed their yard to about 50% native species or xeriscape.A15-minute drive from the Brookses lives Christopher Stimpson with his wife. They replaced almost 75% of their outdoor space with less waterintensive options.
While Brooks decided to pay for a landscape designer and hire a company to do the dirty work, she realizes not everyone has the financial means. Or, they just want to do it themselves.

“It was all grass,” she said. “My dad bought himself a riding lawn mower and his weekend project in the summer was taking care of that lawn. Everybody took care of their lawn, that was the culture. The pride of ownership was reflected in what your lawn looked like.”
She isn’t finished with the project
Even though Brooks and Stimpson both began replacing their lawns, they don’t doubt the benefits of lush grass. Brooks noted her dogs enjoy running in the grass and Stimpson enjoys sitting in his chairs that are on the grass. They’re good for recreation, too.
Stimpson decided to get his hands dirty and do it himself. Most of his costs came from buying rocks and gravel.Inhis front, rocks and pebbles lie beneath a tree. Like Emily, the grass proved difficult to maintain because of the beating sun. In the back, a small patch of grass in a shady spot provides room for his dog and chairs to enjoy outside without the need for sunscreen.Nexttoit

He did find that there are many people who feel great satisfaction from mowing their lawn, and the smell of fresh-cut grass brings nostalgia.
As well, his research also found chemicals used for lawns end up indoors. In one experiment, analytic chemists walked across chemically treated lawns with white boots and then walked indoors. They measured the amount of chemicals that ended up inside and how long they persisted.

Taking root in the new world
In the 1500s and 1600s, lawns began to grow more popular within the wealthy classes of Europe for both recreation and enjoyment. Due to the time and labor required to main tain the lawn, it became a symbol of wealth.
Just as they were hundreds of years ago, lawns today are also seen as a status symbol. Beyond that, Robbins’ research showed respondents often said “What goes on outside the house tells you what goes on inside the house,” indicating they are also an in dicator of morals. That’s tied to social psychology. Many places in the world don’t maintain lawns, so it’s a learned behavior.“Lawncare companies who are trying to expand their markets have to really work hard when they go outside the United States to convince people that it’s worth putting the money and the time into having a lawn,” Robbins said. “If they’re going to expand the number of intensive lawn care users, they have to teach people to care about it.”However, lawn social psychology in the U.S. seems to be changing.
Seeing the odd crop not just as a sup port for livestock, there is a status to having a lawn — and the 17th-century American colonies were status-bound. Social classes were clearly articulated and“Americanobserved.colonists were desirous, they wanted to establish themselves as wealthy landholders and it was critical for them to do that in a new place. They were planting not just the grasses, but a new social order, a new economic order as well,” he said.

In Moye’s experience, attitudes among people are trending more towards sustainability. Moye said buyers want smaller spaces, smaller carbon footprints and less grassy lawns.Stimpson has seen that change walking around his neighborhood. Many of his neighbors already have or started to change what their outdoor spaces look like. Although, he still notes a divide within the community.“Thedivide I think is people with the big lawns feel that they worked hard to get this aesthetic addition to their lives and that this is important enough to them,” he said. “They don’t want to let it go and they think of xeriscaping as an inferior alternative.”

He said replacing grass with native species can be a great alternative, though it may not serve all the functions a homeowner may want it to serve. For example, walking barefoot on it can be difficult and not maintaining it properly can turn into a mess.However, native species can support pollinator species and reduce the need for fertilizer.
However, it depends on the location and the neighborhood.

It takes only a casual news reader to see that there’s a reason so many people are worried about the state of the climate and environment. Mixed in with all the beauty the world offers are danger and fear about the future of the planet.
I’m of the opinion that if you write a song as good as “These Days,” you should be able to basically coast for the rest of your life. The fact that Jackson Browne wrote that song when he was 16 and went on to have a decades-long career full of other stunning songs is straight up not fair - I mean, “For A Dancer?” “Running on Empty?” “The Pretender?” Just straight-up bulletproof.It’satreat that one of rock’s greatest songwriters will be playing at Red Rocks, 18300 W. Alameda Parkway in Morrison, at 7:30 p.m. on Sunday, Sept. 25. Don’t miss the chance to see one of the best there is - get tickets at axs.com.

Deciding to collaborate with Museo was a no-brainer, Boger said.

While16. Museo de las Americas has had other traveling exhibits in the past, this one was different and really special because of the incorporation of a local artist who is part of the community, Moran said.
Hispanicsaid. Heritage Month is observed in the U.S. from Sept. 15 through Oct. 15. Moran also pointed out Mexican Independence Day is Sept.
When Spaniards conquered Mexico, they gave piñatas a religious meaning, Arredondo said. The seven spikes represented seven sins, and the blindfold people wore to break the piñata represented their blind faith. Once the piñata broke, what was inside the piñata represented the person’s blessings.

“What we’re trying to do with these traveling exhibitions is to take the pieces out to the community,” Moran said. “Those pieces are for you to enjoy, to learn (from).”
Arredondo’s favorite piñata in the exhibit is named “La alegría de la piñata” — which translates to “the joy of the piñata.” It’s her favorite because it is representative of his-

A common question people ask Arredondo is if she gets sad when people break the piñata she’s created, she said.
Marco Polo then brought them to Italy, where they got the name piñatas, Ponce said. After that, the piñatas spread to Spain and then to Mexico.

“She’s a wonderful artist,” Moran said about Arredondo. “She was all about having the exhibition and collaborating with Museo.”
The piñata exhibit has been months in the making. Planning began earlier this year when Museo de las Americas approached Arapahoe Libraries about co-hosting a traveling exhibit, Boger said.
“No, that is the point,” Arredondo said. “Piñata represents happiness and community.”

“I’m really, really happy,” she said about the experience. “It has a lot of meaning.”Eachpiñata Arredondo created represents a part of Mexican culture. There are signs placed in the cafe that have QR codes linking to an informational page, in English and Spanish, that further describes the piñatas and their cultural significance.“Ithink there’s a lot to learn. Each piñata tells a story, and I think those stories is where culture lies and where history lies,” said Anne Marie Boger, a community engagement coordinator at Arapahoe Libraries. “It’s a chance to learn and to relive and to celebrate.”

“In light of the museum and the library celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month, it just felt like the perfect cohesion of goals and celebration,” Boger
The history of piñatas
“It is said that during the time that the traveler Marco Polo was in China, he witnessed the celebrations that they had for their new year,” Ponce said, explaining piñata-style figures were part of the celebration.
About 40 people gathered to celebrate the opening of the exhibit, which was developed through a partnership between Arapahoe County libraries, Museo de las Americas and a local artist, Maribel Arredondo.Arredondo said she will never forget the smiling faces she saw in the audience when she was introduced as the artist behind the exhibit. It almost made her cry to think of it.
“It was around the 16th century in which we started seeing the representations that we see today,” Ponce said, noting that piñatas were first made out of clay and then later made out of “However,paper.recently it has been suggested that also with our indigenous origins, we were already celebrating with piñatas,” Ponce said, explaining some indigenous peoples may have used clay containers in a similar way for certain celebrations.
Around April, the Museo team introduced Arredondo to Arapahoe Libraries, Boger said.

A bright smile spread across Michelle Ollerton’s face as she watched her 2-year-old son, Isaac, point to the colorful piñatas hanging above them in the cafe of Smoky Hill Library, trying to choose which one was his favorite.Would it be the piñata of “El Trompo,” a spinning top that is a popular traditional toy in Mexico? Or what about “La rosa,” the rose, or the monarch butterfly, which was his mom’s favorite? With about 30 options to choose from, it’s a tough choice.Thepiñatas are part of a new exhibit, called Celebrating Mexico/ Celebrando México, which debuted at Smoky Hill Library on Sept. 14 and will be open through Nov. 9.
The piñata is a true icon of the Mexican identity, said Val Ponce, the membership and engagement manager at Museo de las Americas, a nonprofit Latin American art museum.“Mexico is so focused around the idea of mestizaje — of the combination of cultures — and how a lot of the time, this combination brings very fruitful and very beautiful art, as well as different expressions of culture,” Ponce said. “I think that of

Arvada West’s passing game and quarterback Ethan Cook was a challenge for the Bruins despite four Creek interceptions and two fumble recoveries. Too many penalties against the Bruins were another concern.“Theyare a really good passing team,” added Logan “They have good receivers, good skilled position players and the quarterback has been a two-year starter. We knew they could throw it and they did a lot of good things in the passing game especially in the first couple drives.“Wehad a hard time getting them slowed down. We made a couple adjustments which helped us. We were

“We just executed,” said Herron. “Coach Logan always brings that up. We always have a good run game and with these backs, we are always going to be efficient with the run game.

Public Notice of Petition for Change of Name
Decreed 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 Re vised Plan for Augmentation: The revised plan for augmentation outlined below is intended to completely replace the plan for augmentation in the 21CW3010 Decree. Groundwater to be Aug mented: Approximately 0.6 acre-feet per year for 300 years of Denver 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 Denver Aquifer groundwater will be used for in-house use and fire protection, through one or more wells, on the Subject Property. Applicants reserve the right to amend the amount and uses without amending the application or republish ing 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. During pumping Applicants will replace actual depletions pursuant to C.R.S. § 37-90-137(9)(c.5). Depletions occur to the Monument 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 amended augmentation plan, find that Applicants have complied with C.R.S. § 37-90-137(4) and wa ter 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.

Although creating the piñatas took about three months, the idea of a piñata exhibit crossed Arredondo’s mind about three years ago, she said.
“It is just spectacular,” she said.
FROM PAGE 15
Date: July 26, 2022

She compares herself to the father in the movie “My Big Fat Greek Wedding,” a character who often spoke about the importance of having pride in the family’s culture.Mostof all, she hopes visitors of the exhibit gain a memorable experience from it, whether it be learning something new or taking photos of themselves with the piñatas.
