Douglas County leaders remember Roger Partridge BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Former Douglas County Commissioner Roger Partridge was elected in 2012 and was reelected in 2016 for an additional four years in office. Partridge passed away near COURTESY OF DOUGLAS COUNTY the end of October.

A longtime county official known for his kindness has died, leaving other Douglas County leaders to recall the mark he made. Former Commissioner Roger Partridge died in late October in his mid-60s. Voters elected Partridge in 2012 and reelected him in 2016 to serve four more years in office, a tenure that took him through historic challenges such as the start of the coronavirus pandemic and the STEM School Highlands Ranch shooting. In his day-to-day work as a commissioner, Partridge focused primarily on transportation, open space, wildfire prevention and water conservation. In a statement, the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office said it was “deeply saddened” by the news that Partridge passed away. “Commissioner Partridge was a kind and honorable man. He set the example for what an elected official should be,” Sheriff Darren Weekly said in a post on X, formerly known as Twitter. “He was a good friend and a tremendous supporter of the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office, as well as the Office of Emergency Management. His loss is personally devastating, and my heartfelt condolences go out to his family.” Commissioner Abe Laydon, one of the county’s three current elected leaders, called Partridge “a true gentleman cowboy who served his county with great faith, commitment and dedication.” As chair of the Douglas commissioners, Partridge “kept meetings light and positive, even when agitators abounded. During the height of his cancer battle, he took negativity from persistent detractors in stride and kept his focus on our governance role,” Laydon said. “Roger never succumbed to pettiness even when it would have been easy to, and always took the high road.” Making an impact Partridge was raised in a small town in Indiana and received a bachelor’s degree in health and

safety education from Purdue University and double master’s degrees in athletic training and physical therapy from West Virginia University and Arcadia University, respectively, according to biographical information from Douglas County. Prior to settling in Colorado, he worked as an athletic trainer for the New York Jets and at three universities, according to the county. He started his physical therapy practice in Castle Rock in 1987 while living in Littleton and moved to Douglas County in 1994 to be closer to his practice. Before winning election to a county leader seat, Partridge served on the Douglas County Planning Commission, the group of residents who advise Douglas’ elected leaders on property development in the county. Once elected as an overall county commissioner, Partridge focused on several different areas of policy. In road projects, he helped oversee the completion of the E-470 highway; the expansion of the Interstate 25 and Lincoln Avenue corridor; the added capacity and safety improvements on an 18mile stretch of I-25, known as the gap; and the continued expansion and improvements of Highway 85, among other projects. In 2017, Partridge, along with Commissioner Lora Thomas and then-Commissioner Dave Weaver, acquired Sandstone Ranch, the 2,038-acre property that was once destined for development but now will remain as a protected natural area and trail system in perpetuity. Other open space projects during his term include the acquisitions of several properties, including Ditmars Ranch and the Martinez Property, and improvements to Prairie Canyon Ranch and Columbine Open Space. In 2016, Partridge also aided in the creation of the Northwest Douglas County Water Project, a regional partnership that resulted in renewable water for existing homes and businesses in rural, northwest Douglas County.

BY TAYLER SHAW TSHAW@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Aiming to increase its efficiency, the Centennial Airport Community Noise Roundtable discussed changing the public comment process at its meetings. For months, the roundtable — made up primarily of local elected officials in Arapahoe and Douglas counties, appointed representatives from the community, and airport staff and users — has been trying to address community concerns about increased air traffic and noise. Centennial Airport, located in Arapahoe County near Dove Valley Regional Park, is one of the 25 busiest airports in the nation, according to the Federal Aviation Administration, or FAA. During the monthly noise roundtable meetings, there are public comment periods where members of the public are able to approach a podium and give a three-minute comment to the roundtable. Typically, the roundtable schedules for public comment to be

given toward the beginning of its meeting and again toward the end of the meeting. However, the roundtable is now considering making changes to its public comment process, including moving the public comment period toward the end of the meeting. At the Nov. 1 meeting, Brad Pierce, the chair of the roundtable, said moving the public comment period to the end of the meeting is intended to give the roundtable more time to discuss its work. Another reason is so the public can listen to the entire meeting and comment on what happened at the meeting, he said. Greenwood Village Council Member Donna Johnston, a member of the roundtable, noted that the roundtable is a recommending body. The roundtable’s stated mission is to bring together the airport, community, FAA and aviation industry representatives to identify noise issues and recommend courses of action that could reduce noise over SEE AJRPORT, P5

Castle Pines Council Member Chris Eubanks, also a member of the roundtable, said the idea behind the change is that, instead of there being back-and-forth dialogue between commenters and the roundtable, the public will give comments and then the roundtable can address questions at the end. The intent is to make the meeting flow better, he said. “The spirit of this is in no way trying to silence the community,” Eubanks said. “The spirit of this is trying to understand better and having a more consolidated way to listen.” The roundtable also discussed having a new policy where if the

meeting, which is scheduled to go from 6:30-8:30 p.m., extends until 9 p.m., then the roundtable will have to vote on whether to extend the meeting for another 30 minutes. If that vote fails, then the meeting would end. The roundtable did not formally vote on making these procedure changes during the Nov. 1 meeting. Pierce said revisions will be made to the proposed procedures and they will be sent via email to members of the roundtable within the next few weeks. He said the roundtable is able to vote via email on approving them.

Despite Jones, Page and Sumnicht running as conservatives, only DiCarlo was endorsed by the Douglas County GOP. DiCarlo was the only conservative candidate who opposed ballot measures 5A and 5B, which aimed to increase school funding through tax dollars. About 92,000 people voted in the 2019 Douglas County school board race and more than 118,000 voters participated in 2021, when the current board majority was elected. That election was seen as a mandate from voters pushing back against covid pandemic restrictions. So far, more than 124,000 voters participated in the school

board election this year, the highest turnout in recent school board elections. Meek, who was first elected to the board in 2019, has now seen overwhelming voter support for two elections in a row. In 2019, Meek beat Jones by more than 2,200 votes and this year, that margin widened to more than 7,300 votes. On election night, Meek said she feels that along with Geiger and Thompson, they will represent the majority of Douglas County. “I think the majority aligns with what we’ve said about studentcentered decision making and ensuring we’re tackling local issues, not national agendas,” Meek said. “One of our community’s top concerns is a loss of trust in our board, so that was central for us and our campaigns.” SEE WINNERS, P7

Smaller preschool class sizes planned BY ANN SCHIMKE CHALKBEAT COLORADO

Colorado officials want to cap preschool class sizes in the state’s new universal preschool program at 20 students next year and require at least one staff member for every 10 children in the room. These proposed limits represent a notable change from an earlier plan that allowed classes sizes of 24 preschoolers and staff-student ratios of 1 to 12. Both are higher than what leading early childhood groups recommend. National experts panned the earlier draft of Colorado’s universal preschool quality rules, saying that the state’s proposal set a low bar and could lead to bad outcomes for kids. The new draft rules are set to be finalized next spring and will take effect in the fall of 2024. A state advisory committee will weigh in, but Lisa Roy, executive director of the Colorado Department of Early Childhood, will make the final decision. The new draft rules reflect the balance state officials are trying to strike between ensuring the high-quality program they promised and making the requirements attainable to a wide range of providers in a low-wage, highturnover field. Universal preschool is available in lots of settings: school district classrooms, private child care

centers, faith-based preschools, and licensed home-based programs. State officials launched the $322 million universal preschool program in August without establishing rules on quality in part because they ran out of time. State preschool leaders told providers last spring to “keep doing what you’re doing.” That means wide variations in quality this year for the more than 48,000 children getting tuitionfree preschool through the program. Some children attend preschools with top scores on the state’s child care and preschool rating system, Colorado Shines, while others attend low-rated programs. Research shows that highquality preschool produces positive short- and long-term outcomes for children. Colorado’s rules on preschool quality, which will spell out requirements around curriculum, staff training, and child health screenings, will eventually bring more consistency to the universal preschool program, but it could take till 2026 or after to fully phase in all the requirements. Aside from the lower class sizes and staff-student ratios, the new draft is largely similar to the first one. As in the original, it generally requires providers to use a curriculum from a resource bank approved by the state. In addition, preschool providers would be subject to

on-site evaluations every three years. It also specifically states that faith-based preschools can’t include religious instruction in hours funded by universal preschool — a rule that is not in place this year, according to a spokesman for the Colorado Department of Early Childhood. Training requirements for preschool staff are a bit different in the new draft, with employees only required to have completed four hours of training on some topics next year, down from eight in the previous draft rules. The new draft institutes the 8-hour training requirement in either 2025 or 2026 — either the third or fourth year of the program — depending on the training topic. The new draft also delays requirements for providers to offer or coordinate health and developmental screenings for preschoolers until the 2025-26 school year. The new draft rules don’t address preschool teacher qualifications. A separate set of rules that will take effect in the fall of 2025 will set those requirements. The state is collecting feedback on the latest draft of the universal preschool quality rules through at least Nov. 22.

Geiger echoed Meek in his comments on election night, saying voters showed their support for strong public education. Geiger received 48% of the vote. Geiger ran against Page and DiCarlo who split the Republican vote. Page had 29% of the votes while DiCarlo had 23%, according to the latest election numbers. “If you look at the voter demographics, we could not have the majority we have without Republicans and unaffiliated voters saying that competence matters and worrying about what’s best for the district, not national issues, is the most important thing,” Geiger said. Douglas County voters are 33% Republican, 18% Democrat and 47% unaffiliated, according to the Colorado

Secretary of State’s Office. A statement from Best DCSD said the candidates are grateful for the voters and their supporters, as well as congratulated Meek, Geiger and Thompson. “We are grateful to all the members of the Douglas County community we were able to meet throughout our campaign who trusted us with their vote,” the statement said. “We are also appreciative of those who worked so hard to help us on our campaign journey. We’d like to congratulate Susan, Valerie and Brad on their victory and hope they will seek academic excellence, safety and security, and parent, teacher and community partnerships in Douglas County Schools.” DiCarlo said in a statement that he was thankful for the support he received and lamented the split vote in his race. “The school board leadership and my opponent’s campaign manager set up an unfortunate three-way race

when they appointed and ran a protax candidate to challenge me,” he said. “Though we had hoped for a better outcome, we all knew it was going to be difficult when it became clear they were willing to sacrifice three board seats for a tax increase. I am thankful for the outpouring of support I received throughout the campaign and I’m confident conservative candidates will be able to build on what we accomplished and do better in future elections.” In a statement from the Douglas County GOP Chair Steve Peck, Peck called Page a “spoiler candidate.” “Based on the preliminary results, a majority of voters were clearly seeking a conservative representative of the district, and that was Mr. DiCarlo, who earned more than 75 percent support from the party in May 2023,” Peck said. “I hope Republicans learn a important lesson from this cycle that ignoring and shunning the Republican Party will always be a recipe for disaster.”

County names members of new water commission BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Months of discussion on who will help decide the future of water supply in Douglas County have come to an end now that county leaders have chosen 11 members of a new volunteer board, including a name that one county leader especially objected to. “I still have concerns with Sean Tonner” being placed on the board, said Commissioner Lora Thomas. Thomas has pointed to Tonner’s connection to a proposed plan to pump water to Douglas County from Southern Colorado.

The forming of the new volunteer board — the Douglas County Water Commission — comes against the backdrop of a controversial proposal to pump about 22,000 acre-feet of water per year to Douglas County from the San Luis Valley in the southern part of the state. An acre-foot is the equivalent of a one-foot-deep pool about the size of a football field. Renewable Water Resources is the private company that proposed the project. Last year, county leaders Abe Laydon and Thomas joined together in deciding not to move forward with that project, while elected leader

George Teal has continued to support it. Tonner, one of the principals of Renewable Water Resources, attracted news media attention for throwing his hat in the ring to serve on the water commission. Laydon and Teal supported appointing Tonner, who appeared for a public interview Oct. 13 via videoconferencing. “RWR has no project in front of the county at this time, and the commission doesn’t exist (yet), so obviously we don’t have anything in front of the commission,” Tonner said at the time. He also said he would recuse himself — or remove himself from participation — if any plans were to be pushed regarding RWR. Laydon said “it’s been much ado about nothing” that Tonner had brought a proposal to the county. “I didn’t support it during the (American Rescue Plan Act) discussion, but that doesn’t mean there’s not room for people with big ideas that (can) bring people together,” Laydon said during the Nov. 6 meeting. Laydon appeared to be referencing the county leaders’ decision in 2022 not to use federal ARPA dollars on the RWR project. At the time, Laydon said his deci-

sion was because the county’s outside legal counsel concluded that the project was not eligible for federal COVID relief funds and recommended the county not participate. In the recent November meeting, Laydon said that anyone on the water commission “has to check conflicts at the door.” County’s picks More than 50 people applied to serve on the water commission. Many are current or former public officials, including some who serve on local water providers like the Parker Water District. The county asked for applications by Aug. 11 but later waived that deadline. The water commission is expected to help create a plan regarding water supply and conservation, among other aspects of water in the county. It’ll consist of unpaid volunteers, according to the county. The three elected county leaders planned to appoint three members per each “district,” or area, of the county, along with two selected “at large,” meaning from the county as a whole. (They later decided to allow people who aren’t residents or landowners in Douglas County to serve on the commission.) SEE COMMISSION, P24

Authorities chase, apprehend suspected car thief BY HALEY LENA HLENA@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Deputies with the Douglas County Sheriff ’s Office arrested Armon Chism, of Denver, after responding to a report of a vehicle theft, which led to a short on-foot pursuit in a Highlands Ranch community. On Nov. 6, patrol deputies responded to a report of an in-progress vehicle theft on Mill Vista Road. Authorities immediately established a perimeter. According to Douglas County officials, as deputies searched the area, the vehicle was located with an occupant in a parking garage on Mill Vista Road. According to a press release from the Douglas County Sheriff ’s Office, the suspect vehicle allegedly attempted to back out of a parking space and as the deputy activated

the patrol vehicle’s emergency lights and pulled forward towards the suspect he accelerated the vehicle to move forward. The suspect vehicle scraped and collided with the front passenger side push bumper of the patrol vehicle, then allegedly proceeded to run a stop sign and sped away. Following a short pursuit, the suspect vehicle spun out of control and rolled backwards into a metal railing where it was then pinned in place by deputies. A short foot pursuit followed along with a taser deployment, with police tracking down Chism and placing him under arrest. Through an investigation, deputies established probable cause that Chism was a suspect in an earlier vehicle pursuit of a stolen Hyundai Tucson at the Colorado Boulevard and

When to collect Social Security

ou may be eligible to collect Social Security as early as age 62. But that does not mean that is the best time to do so. Some are worried that Social Security may run out of money, so they want to collect as soon as possible. Others are trying to outwit the mortality tables and optimize the best break-even. Whatever you do, make sure you gather all the facts and put them in your financial plan to determine the best outcome for you. The 2023 U.S. Retirement Survey by Schroders paints a troubling picture of the retirement landscape in the United States. One of the key takeaways is that only 10% of workers plan to wait until age 70 to retire. Delaying until 70 unlocks

the maximum Social Security benefit, which is up to 32% more than the full retirement age (FRA) benefit.¹ Even more concerning is that 40% of workers intend to start receiving benefits between the ages of 62 and Patricia Kummer 65, reducing their benefit for the remainder of their lives. Part of this thought process could be a lack of confidence in the Social Security system, causing people to want to get benefits before funds are depleted. Many may not realize that collecting before their FRA, which

is usually around 66½ or 67 for today’s retirees, causes a lifetime penalty for collecting early. When planning for retirement, consider that when you leave employment does not have to be simultaneous with when to collect Social Security. It could be beneficial to have a few years of lower income before starting to collect retirement benefits. This could allow you to convert some of your pre-tax IRA or 401(k) funds into a Roth while you are in a lower tax bracket. This may be especially good for retirees in the next two years. Due to the fact that the current tax law will sunset at the end of 2025, investors have just a little over two years to plan on how to benefit from lower tax brackets before 2026 rolls around. Keep in mind that when you do enroll for Social Security benefits, you may be offered a lump-sum payment going back six months. Be careful in accepting this payment, as it will pull your lifetime benefit back to your age six months ago, therefore locking in a lower monthly payment. Taxpayers will also want to be cautious about the income-related monthly adjustment amount (IRMAA) for Medicare. If you receive a

six-month lump sum, it could push your Medicare Part B and Part D premium higher if you are over the annual limits. There are many considerations when choosing when to start taking Social Security. You should look at your family longevity to help determine how many years in retirement you will be collecting. Your marital status is also a factor. The spouse with the higher benefit should consider waiting to collect so the higher monthly benefit remains for the surviving spouse after the first death. Therefore, you should consider both spouses’ ages, longevity, and benefits as part of the decision on when to collect. You should also review your income tax situation to determine the optimal time to pay taxes on your Social Security benefits based on other sources of income in retirement. Therefore, collecting while you are still working is usually not optimal from a tax situation. 1. Journal for Financial Planning.

Find a property tax solution but keep it simple in new session

or the upcoming legislative special session to address property taxes, I urge my colleagues to follow a basic military principle: KISS (Keep It Simple Stupid). Special sessions are truncated. They are neither the time nor the place for a grandiose reworking of tax law or addressing multiple issues that are not central to easing the shock of 40-100% property tax increases. If this is a legislative fire emergency warranting a special session, we need to focus on the fire. Particularly when this is an “emergency” of our own making. After being elected, I repeatedly inquired into what was being done about property taxes. It was the Titanic of issues for which no one

seemed concerned. If no one was addressing the issue, as a newly elected member assigned to the Finance Committee, I was willing to make the effort to do so. But I was repeatedly told that the governor’s office was working on a plan and to leave the issue alone. By March, however, I still had heard nothing. So, in the spirit of “a good plan now is better than a perfect one later,” when a GOP colleague brought forward a bill to limit property tax rises to 5%/year for three years, I was willing to cosponsor that effort. That did not mean we had to leave the issue alone for three years or that 5% would have been the cap signed

into law. A short-term band-aide, however, would have bought time to sort out a long-term solution. A solution that could have been socialized, publicized and, in the parlance of the state house, “stake-holded”. I was warned that the Governor’s office was working on a plan and that the legislature needed to wait. But when the GOP bill came to the Finance Committee, I broke ranks to vote for this “time out” bill, which was defeated 5-6. When the governor’s plan was finally presented in the last days of the session, I could not receive a straight answer to basic questions regarding how the law would impact local governments in my district. And when I finally insisted on simple declarative

answers, the answers were wrong. With more concerns regarding process rather than substance, I was one of seven Democrats to vote against the referred referendum that became Prop. HH. And I have no doubt that the process and complexity behind Prop HH is what led to its decisive rejection by nuanced swing voters who are not swayed by political slogans or rigid ideology. So as we head into this special session, I urge colleagues to keep in mind past mistakes and not create a rushed Wile E. Coyote ACME contraption of a solution that will not restore the trust and confidence of Colorado’s voters. SEE MARSHALL, P15

A moving tribute

e celebrated Veterans Day over the last week, and I love it when the community FROM THE does special things to EDITOR honor these men and women who have served in our armed forces. For me, one ceremony was more emotional Thelma Grimes than I had expected. At Indian Ridge Elementary School in Centennial, my sons asked me all week to bring my dad to their special assembly. They asked more than once and were excited to show some pride in their grandpa. On a funny side note , we have had to explain to my 7-year-old more than once that Papa is not old enough to have served in World War II. We explained instead that Papa was in Vietnam and served with honor. During the short assembly, the school’s principal, Matt McDonald, said something I absolutely loved hearing to all the students between preschool and fifth grades. Mr. McDonald told the students that the assembly is not the only time to thank a veteran. He told the students when they see a veteran wearing a hat or shirt in the community to say thank you then as well. He told them it’s important to tell these men and women that we appreciate their service anytime. This is a great lesson to teach our youth. It teaches them that it’s not just about honoring people for one day, but instead as a matter of routine. As for my dad — I have written regularly about him having a rough year and nearly

dying twice. He is better now. Back on track but still not overly energetic and doesn’t get out a lot. I asked him to go with me to the school. He was a bit confused at first as we sat among 200 kids in a noisy gymnasium. As the assembly went on the choir performed a thank you song, all of the kids sang each of the songs in honor of each branch of the military, and every veteran attending the event was asked to stand up. After the ceremony, all of the kids lined the elementary school hallways, and each veteran was asked to walk along the route. Every single student participated in clapping and saying thank you to every veteran. As we were walking out, Mr. McDonald also shook my dad’s hand. Several of the teachers and staff who have come to know our family this year — and know what my dad has been through — took moments to hug him. My dad quietly told me — “This made me cry.” My dad is Mr. Rough and Tough. Having him say he was brought to tears says a lot. For me, having so many in those hallways shows support not just my dad but for our family, and is part of the reason I love community schools where parents, teachers, and students are a part of our family. While I love what Douglas and Arapahoe counties did with the Operation Green Light program, and I love other ceremonies held throughout the community — this one at the school ,with young students truly showing appreciation, will now hold a place in my heart forever.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Thank you, Sonya

For 25 years, I’ve enjoyed reading Sonya Ellingboe’s column, first in the Littleton Independent and now in the Centennial Citizen. Ms. Ellingboe didn’t just list events around town; her articles were so knowledgeable and informative that I was often inspired to attend things I might otherwise have missed. Best wishes to her in retirement! I hope you can find a reporter to continue her work. Lynn Cleveland Centennial Have faith in the future

Most parents have concerns about their child becoming an adult and think they face an increasingly tough world, a concern throughout time. Every generation has had its challenges and advantages. My parents faced fighting in WW2 with limited food, gas, tires, sugar, jobs and other hardships. Yet, they survived and raised a wonderful and creative family with enough food on the table and at least one pair of shoes each. When I became an adult, every male faced the Vietnam draft. “Have you fulfilled your military obligations?” was the 1st question on a job application. Interest rates for a home were 7.5%+++ and there was an electricity shortage nation-

wide. Granted, home prices were much less but so equally were wages. We found jobs, ways to afford a home and raise a family, though not always easy. Our children became adults at a time of extreme interest rates and economic hardships. They found a way to find success, friends and raise a family. Our granddaughter found ways to get thru college, find love, marry, begin saving for a home and is looking forward to starting a family. Our grandsons are getting through college, studying and working hard toward their 2nd graduation in May and ready to “fly” where ever the world takes them. My mother told me “I’m sorry to leave this world to you.” Generation to generation to generation to generation, every parent is concerned for their children to become adults, just part of being a parent. If we have taught them perseverance, there should be no hand-wringing, only hope for the future. Every generation has faced its challenges and through perseverance has thrived. The next generations can and will do the same. Leanna Palmer Castle Rock SEE LETTERS, P15

Wrong priorities

Colorado is facing a perfect storm of challenges that require clear-eyed, sober-minded leadership from our elected leaders at the state and federal level. Unfortunately, it appears our public officials are distracted pursuing personal vendettas instead of addressing the issues affecting everyday Coloradans. Inflation is a prime example. Our state is not only home to the worst restaurant price inflation; the Denver Metro has the worst inflation problem of any metro area in the United States. These seemingly unstoppable price increases are cutting into our wages and making it harder to put on the table for our families. Inflation is not the only surge we have seen in our state that our government has failed to take action against. Reports from this spring found our state to have the highest rate of violent crime victimizations among the 22 most populous states in the country, with rates soaring to more than double the national average. These are the problems that Colorado residents really care about, and they deserve adequate attention and action from our elected leaders. Instead, the Biden administration and

Sonya Ellingboe earned your twopage tribute with years of insightful commentaries about the local art scene, that never — not once — included a negative word about an artist or their art, something that is unheard of in the art world where snarky opinions often shine a light on the author rather than on the individual she or he is writing about. Sonya and I have had numerous interactions; all favorable; all jovial. I dedicated a painting of mine to her in 2018; I remember she blushed when she saw her name on the museum label. A true Soldier of Art, Sonya trooped on even as her physical ability to do so was in decline. And her ever-present smile is something I will always remember about her. Continued trooping, Sonya.

LIFE Local artists express themselves through forms of metal, precious gems, unique designs BY ELISABETH SLAY ESLAY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The heat of the torch, the smell of pickling solution, the sound of metal on a mandrel and the look of a completed piece are common aspects silversmiths and jewelers in the Denver metro area enjoy about their craft. Sara DeAngelo Jewelry: “Southwest, feminine, natural and detailed”

For Englewood business owner and professional jeweler Sara DeAngelo, these aspects of the silversmithing system are elements she loves, but they come secondary in her personal process. “I am obsessed with stones and the history of how a stone is formed and how it’s literally the only one in the world like it,” DeAngelo said. She said taking a unique “peace of the Earth” and “turning it into this beautiful treasured something that makes somebody feel more beautiful” is her favorite part of the craft. Originally from Los Angeles, DeAngelo began her career in 1997 after a terrible encounter with a rude customer. DeAngelo said she quit her job and the very next day began selling her pieces door-to-door at different businesses. “I walked out the door and then the next morning I went around

with my little trays of jewelry to a bunch of stores and I got two retail stores that first morning and that sent me on a totally different path,” DeAngelo said. DeAngelo currently has a retail store and studio at 16 E. Girard Ave. in Englewood. She describes her styles as “Southwest, feminine, natural and detailed.” “I make mostly sterling silver. They’re usually hand stamped using Navajo stamps that I buy from the Navajo artists themselves and then (I use) unique gemstones that I literally search the world for,” DeAngelo said. DeAngelo moved into her current location after outgrowing her last studio and while she wasn’t looking for retail, she’s happy she found it and she loves the connections she forms with people. DeAngelo is an established artisan in the industry and she said she was featured in the Sundance Catalog. She said that was a dream goal for her and her work is sold in about 50 stores across the country. She said the jewelry-making community is vast in Colorado because in her experience people seem to appreciate and value homemade items. DeAngelo makes all sorts of pieces including rings, earrings and necklaces but she loves making earrings the most because they’re her favorite type of jewelry to wear. DeAngelo said making a delicate piece can be very meticulous and detail-oriented. “It’s harder than it looks…and it’s very exact,” DeAngelo said. SEE JEWELRY, P17

Fellow silversmith and production assistant of DeAngelo’s, Katie White is also enjoying the process of building her own business and finding a balance between her two worlds. White said her specialties in jewelry making are stone setting and intricate stamping work and making things that “excite people and offend them too.” Originally from New Jersey, White moved to Colorado about seven years ago and is now based in Boulder. White sells her pieces in Denver at markets and in galleries. White said she was “stone obsessed” as a teenager. “I was collecting raw stones and I actually started wire wrapping and making mainly pendants and rings out of copper and brass,” White said. During her senior year in high school, White said she was supporting herself, and while she enjoyed making her pieces, she was also selling them as a means of survival. For White, the best aspect of jewelry making, which she has been doing for about nine years, is that it’s a three-dimensional art form. “I really love that metal feels like a resource that I can time and time again manipulate,” White said. “It feels like it can be recycled and repurposed. It feels like there is always a story to any jewelry pieces and anything metal-related.” When she makes a piece, White said she notices a correlation between her mental state and the process. The silversmith said she will start her process off with a “ceremony” whether it’s making a cup of coffee, smoking herbs or cannabis or saying a prayer. “Jewelry making is like putting a little piece of my soul and body energetics into something that someone’s going to wear forever,” White said. White describes her jewelry as different, unique and bold. “I would say my jewelry has a core theme of being alternative,” White said. “I definitely dabble in everything from being edgy punk to almost like biker babe to boho flowy (and) gem-centered.”

White said people enjoy her jewelry which she sells through Instagram, on her website and in five stores in Denver and two in New Jersey. White joined DeAngelo’s studio about three months ago and enjoys executing DeAngelo’s style of wire wrapping and knotting. “What’s cool is I feel like I am honing a lot of my more nitty gritty skills,” White said. “Just making my things look nicer, cleaner, production style and mass quantity.” In her home studio of organized chaos, however, with her own production assistant and canine companion Dobby, White said she’s a “one-man show.” “I move all over the place. I change things. I do have a tendency to go in between projects,” White said. White said she believes she’s “creating magic” in her studio. “I feel like I am working with my hands and get to view magic by the end. I feel like I am an alchemist. I feel like I am connecting to the Earth,” White said. Michelene Berkey: “Not for everyone”

Michelene Berkey is a metalsmith who has made jewelry for a large portion of her life and works from her home studio. Based in Evergreen, Berkey said she designs and makes silver jewelry with high-carat gold accents, gemstones and different kinds of pearls. Originally from New York, the 73-year-old said she has had an interest in jewelry making since she was child. “My grandfather would go to the jewelry exchange in New York and bring home things wrapped up in little pieces of tissue paper and rubber bands,” Berkey said. “I remember standing at the table watching him unwrap these things and just being fascinated with jewelry.” She attended California State of Long Beach, learned her techniques and “never stopped making (jewelry) and designing it.” When she was in California, Berkey said she worked in various jewelry shops in the late 1970s and then she moved to Colorado. She said she didn’t have any jewelry connections and took a break from the craft profession to own and operate her own wallpaper and paint business. Berkey said she returned to full time metalsmithing in 2000. SEE JEWELRY, P18

JEWELRY FROM PAGE 17

“The jewelry that I make is not traditional jewelry. It’s more what they call art jewelry,” Berkey said. “I know how to make traditional jewelry…That’s what I was trained to do but the jewelry that I am making now is made from little sections of cottonwood twigs and just natural things that I find.” Berkey said the traditional process consists of a metalsmith making a piece out of wax, plastering it and then placing it in a “burnout” kiln where the wax is melted away. “What’s left is the void of that particular piece that you’re making and then when you’re ready to actually do the casting you melt your metal and you pour it in and it fills in all of those places where the wax had been originally,” Berkey said. She siad she wants her pieces to have a lot of texture. “It’s an interesting process. The casting is the same as manufacturers would use to make anybody’s traditional wedding ring,” Berkey said. “In my case I am actually burning away the twigs because they burn away just the same as a wax.” Berkey said her work is “not for everyone” but those who love it have responded well to her creations. “The more people have seen it and understood that it’s silver and it’s made from the twigs they’re really fascinated with that,” Berkey said. Berkey sells her work in galleries and she attends various shows throughout Colorado and other states. Denver Jewelry Studio: A place to learn

Berkey is always willing to learn, and said she has attended the Denver Jewelry Studio in Littleton and taken classes in different techniques. The studio has various levels of classes taught by many different instructors and managed carefully by studio owner Judy Brown. “Our studio we call it a maker space. It’s basically for people who have no experience at all in metal smithing or they’re professionals and they’re looking to learn a new technique,” Brown said. Located at 8392 South Conti-

nental Divide Road, Unit 104 in Littleton, Brown said Denver Jewelry Studio is open daily, except on Wednesday, from 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. There are four total employees including Brown and 30 contract instructors who travel from all over the country to hold classes. Brown said she purchased the studio from the previous owners in 2018 after teaching there. “I am a retired state auditor for the state of Texas and Colorado and I needed a creative outlet,” Brown said. Brown loves “the endless learning” of metalsmithing. Brown said her style of jewelry is more natural, which was what she was interested in exploring. “For somebody that’s a numbers cruncher I found that I gravitate to the organic because it gave me so much more freedom and a lot of times it mimics nature,” Brown said. “I am always fascinated with not only textures but colors that we find in natural rocks and tree bark.” Brown said her primary technique to do and teach is cuttlebone casting. “It’s a very old technique. They use the cuttlefish. I learned that one in 2007 and I just gravitated to it because I love the texture that you find in that,” Brown said. Brown said she was developing her own style to the technique by making the casting thinner which wasn’t common. This she said is how she also entered the world of teaching. “I love teaching because I love to see people learning to be creative.

ing,” Miro said. Located at 6750 S. Emporia St. in Centennial, Miro said the family opened their retail space 15 years ago. Miro said both her father and her brother are jewelers and the family owns a factory in Lebanon, which is where the business began. The family opened their current location in 2017 and Miro said her father attended college in Colorado and wanted to return. For Miro, the best aspects of what she does are the custom pieces the business creates and seeing it journey over the last several years. “It’s just the custom part of it and being able to take something that has been in our family for a long time and evolve it over time,” she said. Miro explained the business has evolved from bench jewelry to manufacturing and retail. She said they make everything from wedding bands to engagement rings to necklaces to earrings. “The nice thing about custom is you can work with any style because you’re creating it all,” she said. “It’s not like you’re a brand that you have specific styles that you’re working around.” While versatile in design, Miro said she would describe the company’s pieces as classic and trendy. Miro said she is not a jeweler but she works on the back end of the business in purchasing and finance. “I like that it’s a family business that we’ve grown over the generations and we will have for future generations too,” she said.

I think being creative feeds our souls,” Brown said. “All of us need that in our lives in whatever form we have whether it’s cooking or painting.” Brown said for those looking to venture into metal smithing the studio recommends that they take the 30-hour Metalsmithing course and then go from there. She said information on classes can be found on the studio’s website. She said people will learn the basics including sawing techniques, filing, hammering and setting stones. “For us teaching the beginning students all of these techniques they don’t have to buy a lot of equipment to get started at home and they can really express their creativity,” Brown said. Denver Jewelry Studio also offers Open Studio where artisans can pay a monthly fee to utilize its tools. New Denver resident and jewelry maker Jenny Foulkes said she recently moved to Colorado and found the studio. “I needed bench space because my studio is not set up in my home and (Brown) has all the tools, all the solder stations and they’re open all day,” Foulkes said. “I like the warm welcoming atmosphere.” Miro Jewelers: A family-owned business

Pay tribute to 10th Mountain Division at History Colorado

here are all kinds of stories that get forgotten in the fog of war, stories that need to be retold to give those who served the respect they deserve. That’s the ethos behind Winter Warriors, the History Colorado Center’s,1200 Broadway in Denver, latest exhibition, which is a tribute to World War II’s 10th Mountain Division — the first American troops specifically trained for mountain warfare. “Winter Warriors isn’t just about combat in World War II, it’s also a story of creativity, resilience, ingenuity and the human condition,” said Dr. Chris Juergens, Head of Curatorial Services and Anschutz Curator of Military History at History Colorado, in a provided statement. “This exhibition puts a human face on the inhumanity of war, and highlights the price of freedom that US servicemen and women continue to be willing to pay on behalf of their fellow citizens.” The exhibit opened on Veterans Day and truly takes an expansive and intimate look at the division, from their training at Camp Hale in Colorado’s Rocky Mountains through their breakthrough against the Nazi German Army in the mountains of Italy. The division paid the ultimate price during its time in the fight — about onethird of its members were wounded or killed. According to provided information, the exhibit relied on resources from

the 10th Mountain Division Resource Center — a collection largely donated by veterans of the unit and maintained by History Colorado and the Denver Public Library — and features some never-beforeseen items.

WINNING WORDS

Michael Norton

Some of the special items on display include

• A fez taken from Fascist dictator Benito Mussolini’s Italian villa when it was occupied by American troops in 1945. • The bow and arrows used by one of the division’s archers. • The uniforms worn by soldiers in training and in combat — as well as those worn by the Women’s Army Corps at Camp Hale and Red Cross volunteers in Italy. • Pieces of art constructed, carved, and etched by soldiers at Camp Hale and on the front lines. The aim of the exhibit is visitors come away with a greater appreciation of a story they may have never heard before. “This is a chance for visitors to embark on a multi-sensory journey that explores the history of the 10th Mountain Division from its origins to its combat service in more detail than ever before seen in an exhibition,”

Juergens stated. “Even those familiar with the story of these famed Winter Warriors will be captivated by new details, photographs and objects that bring this history to life.” Find full details atwww.historycolorado.org/exhibit/winter-warriors. Celebrate Thanksgiving with The Last Waltz

When we lost The Band singer/ songwriter Robbie Robertson in August of this year, we lost one of rock’s great troubadours. And that loss will make the annual Thanksgiving tribute to the music of The Band, The Last Waltz, even more special. The 19th annual Last Waltz Revisited will be held at the Fillmore Auditorium, 1510 Clarkson St. in Denver, at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 22. For those unfamiliar, the concert is a recreation of The Band’s final group performance, which was immortalized by Martin Scorsese in a documentary of the same name. It’s a great communal opportunity to celebrate one of the best rock songbooks. Get tickets atwww.livenation.com. Get a closer look at the Middle East in Northglenn

It’s been difficult lately to turn on the news and not hear something about the deteriorating situation in the Middle East. But that kind of exposure often leaves the stories of the people behind.

The City of Northglenn aims to present a different picture of the region with a screening of Rick Ray’s travel film, “The Promised Land, Adventures in the Middle East: Israel, Jordan and Turkey.” The film will be screened at the Parsons Theatre, 1 East Memorial Parkway, at 10 a.m. on Nov. 21. Visit https://northglennarts. org/for more information. Clarke’s Concert of the Week — St. Paul and the Broken Bones at Ellie Caulkins

Soul music is one of the most elastic music genres we have – there is room for all manner of approaches and subgenres. One of the best examples of this is Alabama’s St. Paul and The Broken Bones, a group that started out with a more traditional style and has evolved into a great purveyor of alternative soul. Their debut album is still one of my favorites, but this year’s “Angles in Science Fiction” is a solid and innovative exploration of the group’s sound. In support of the record, St. Paul and The Broken Bones will be stopping by the Ellie Caulkins Opera House,1400 Curtis St. in Denver, at 8 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 18. They’ll be joined by alt-singer/songwriter Maggie Rose, so make sure to get tickets at www.ticketmaster.com. Clarke Reader’s column on culture appears on a weekly basis.

PARTRIDGE FROM PAGE 2

During his tenure, the county contracted several helicopters and planes to respond to wildfires in the community. “In the future if you see a fire … and you see it go out pretty quickly and it’s in Douglas County, you can say that was (Roger),” County Manager Doug DeBord said during a tribute to Partridge in January 2021 as Partridge’s time as a commissioner came to a close. Following one of the county’s darkest-ever days, when a shooting at STEM School Highlands Ranch left one student dead and eight others injured in May 2019,

Partridge and his fellow commissioners allocated $10 million toward school safety. He’s remembered as staying positive even when navigating politics. “I’ll always remember that, after a hotly contested primary for commissioner in 2016 when both sitting commissioners, Roger Partridge and Dave Weaver, actively campaigned for my Republican opponent, Roger reached out to me and told me it was his job to make me a successful commissioner,” Thomas, one of the current commissioners, said. Laydon, another one of the current commissioners, also praised his leadership. “I had the honor of working with him daily through some of the most challenging times, from

the STEM shooting to COVID-19. He taught me how to be a county commissioner and I would not be here if it weren’t for him,” Laydon said. Colorado Community Media has left a message to a voicemail box for Partridge seeking comment from his family. ‘All in this together’ Partridge was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer in 2018 but continued serving as a commissioner. During the county’s tribute to Partridge in January 2021, the commissioner’s battle with cancer was a major topic, as many friends and coworkers spoke about how he inspired them during that time. “Your courage through your struggles with cancer were so admirable,” then-state Sen. Chris

Holbert, R-Parker, had said. “I’m sure there were times of pain and struggle that you didn’t allow us to see but your smile, your confidence, your grace during that time was such an example for me, my family and I think all the people of Douglas County.” Partridge had spoken to the crowd of participants at the end of the event, thanking his family, the county staff and other elected officials around the county and state for their support over the years. “We’re all in this together,” he said. “Thank you for the opportunity for eight years and God bless you all.” This story draws from a previous Colorado Community Media story on Roger Partridge’s tenure as a county commissioner.

Modern Vintage Marketplace opens in Highlands Ranch BY RACHEL LORENZ SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA

A year after her exit from corporate America, Kelly Crossley has taken a leap and launched a store in Highlands Ranch full of pieces she loves. Modern Vintage Marketplace, which opened on Nov. 1, carries home decor, collectibles, men’s and women’s clothing, and hundreds of other items that have caught the first-time business owner’s admiring eye. “Each piece is uniquely picked by mostly me,” said Crossley, who previously worked in information technology and employee engagement. Some products are selected by Wil Crossley, her husband and partner in the new endeavor. Long before she started her adventure in retail, Crossley said she had curated a collection of items from her own life that were beautiful or well-made or held special meaning. SEE MARKETPLACE, P23

“I’m truly vintage now … How cool is that?” says Kelly Crossley, owner of Modern Vintage Marketplace, as she holds a dress she wore as a grade PHOTO BY RACHEL LORENZ schooler in the ’80s.

A fan of vintage glassware and handbags, she enjoys searching estate sales, thrift stores and the internet for pieces. She has an appreciation for things that were made “back in the day” and has learned that others do, too. This realization led her to start buying and reselling unique and vintage goods on digital forums like Mercari and Poshmark. But shipping glass was a “nightmare” and eventually she decided she wanted a brick-and-mortar store. “You’re not paying shipping. You get to touch it, feel it,” Crossley said, describing to Colordado Community Media the in-person shopping experience she’s creating. “You get to try it on … if it doesn’t meet your (expectation), you don’t have to deal with returning it. So I’m hoping that is a more attractive way to go.” Although about 75% of Modern Vintage Marketplace’s 2,000-pluspiece inventory has been previously owned, the Crossleys are reluctant to use words like used or thrift or resale. Instead, they use the term “rescued” to describe their not-new merchandise. It’s a nod to the idea that they’ve saved quality products from a sorry fate languishing unappreciated at a charity shop or, worse,

in a landfill. Crossley said she put the 1,400-square-foot store together with shoppers in mind. She wanted the fitting room spacious and the restroom fun. (It’s tiki themed.) She picked a name for the place that hints at what kind of items customers would find inside. Songs from decades past play over the speakers and set a nostalgic mood. A set of lockers near the back allow customers to set aside pieces they’re interested in while trying on clothes. There’s even a pair of upholstered chairs where one can linger with a hot beverage. “I want you to feel comfortable and enjoy yourself — not just be running in and then running out,” Crossley said. “Hang out for a while.” Whether it’s the colorful, mismatched letters spelling out the store name on the wall or the second-hand butcher blocks that make up the checkout counter or the cedar fence pickets Wil repurposed for baseboards, the Crossleys succeeding in generating the “it’s all good” vibe Kelly was going for. And they did it on a budget. “It’s just us and our savings,” Wil Crossley said, “so we were scrimping and saving and using reused things whenever we could.” While Kelly Crossley is happy to be out of the corporate world and working for herself, she’s noticed she’s using lot of the skills she devel-

oped in her former career to get her fledgling shop off the ground: reading contracts, negotiating prices, managing relationships with vendors and customers. This difference is now she’s doing it to benefit her own business instead of someone else’s. “I tell people, it’s scary and exciting all at the same time,” she said.

IF YOU GO Modern Vintage Marketplace is at 2670 E. County Line Road, Suite I, in Highlands Ranch. It’s open from 10 a.m. until 6 p.m. Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday. On Thursday, it stays open a little longer — from 10 a.m. until 8 p.m.

Comprised of Cameron Hood’s rich, folky lead vocals and Ryan Green’s guitar and mandolin riffs, along with stellar vocal harmonies, folk-rock duo Ryanhood’s sound has been compared by critics to that of Dan Fogelberg and Simon and Garfunkel. They’ve performed more than a thousand shows in 46 U.S. states over the past decade, and have shared stages with Jason Mraz, Matt Nathanson, Train, and many more.

COMMISSION

Representing District III, or northwest Douglas County:

• Frank Johns, who said he has worked on various water plans for communities over the years. Johns serves on the board of the Centennial Water and Sanitation District, which serves Highlands Ranch. • Evan Ela, a longtime water attorney. • Harold Smethills, a member of the Dominion Water and Sanitation District board and a developer of the Sterling Ranch area in northwest Douglas County. Appointees “at large,” meaning from the county as a whole, include Tonner and Tricia Bernhardt, who has a bachelor’s degree in agricultural economics from Colorado State University and a master’s degree in environmental policy and management from the University of Denver, according to a LinkedIn page.

FROM PAGE 8

They also plan to appoint “alternates” to serve in place of any main members if needed. On top of that, the county plans to appoint a “technical advisory committee” of people with water expertise to help the water commission do its job. The main members of the water commission, named on Nov. 6, include the following. Representing District I, or northeast Douglas County:

• James Eklund, who had worked on the state’s water plan, according to county staff.(Removing the requirement for being a landowner or a resident of Douglas County allowed for choosing Eklund, who told county leaders he is “in the

city and county of Denver.”) • Jack Hilbert, formerly one of

Douglas County’s elected leaders. • Donald Langley, who serves on the Parker Water board.

Details of votes

At the meeting, the motion — or proposal — to appoint the list of applicants passed 2-1 with Thomas opposed. Thomas said she still preferred to appoint Kurt Walker instead of Smethills. The motion to remove the requirement that all water commission members be residents or landowners in Douglas County passed unanimously.

Representing District II, including central and south Douglas County:

• Clark Hammelman, a former Castle Rock town councilmember. • James Maras, a Perry Park Water and Sanitation District board member. • Roger Hudson, a Castle Pines city councilmember.

Depletions occur to the East Plum Creek stream system and return flows accrue to that stream system and are sufficient to replace actual depletions while the subject groundwater is being pumped. Applicant will reserve an equal amount of nontributary groundwater underlying the Subject Property to meet post-pumping augmentation requirements.

Applicant requests the Court approve the above underground water rights and augmentation plan, find that Applicant has 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. 4 pages.

generally located in the S1/2 of Section 10, Township 7 South, Range 66 West of the 6th P.M. and also known as 6793 Scott Avenue, Parker, CO 80134 (the “Subject Property”). The legal description of the parcel is more particularly described on Exhibit A hereto, and the location of the parcel is shown on Exhibit B hereto. Applicant is the sole owner of the Subject Property and therefore no notice is required pursuant to C.R.S. § 37-92-302(2). Well Permits: There is currently one Upper Dawson aquifer well on the Subject Property with Permit No. 214575. There is also one well in the shallow alluvium of Cherry Creek with Permit No. 20705-R. Both wells will be plugged and abandoned. Additional well permits will be applied for prior to construction of wells to withdraw the groundwater which is the subject of this application. Additionally, should Applicant construct a new well to pump not-nontributary water from the Dawson aquifer, an augmentation plan will be applied for if needed to replace surface depletions attributable to that pumping. Pre-213 Wells: There are two Lower Dawson aquifer pre-213 wells with cylinders of appropriation that overlap the Subject Property. The first is Well Permit No. 16008-F and the second is Well Permit No. 27296. The acreage value used in the annual volume calculation for the Lower Dawson aquifer should therefore be reduced by 25.7 acres to account for the cylinders of appropriation from these two wells. Source of Water Rights: The Denver, Laramie-Fox Hills, Arapahoe, and the Lower Dawson aquifers underlying the Subject Property are nontributary as defined in C.R.S. § 37-90-103(10.5), and the Upper Dawson aquifer underlying the Subject Property is not-nontributary as defined in C.R.S. § 37-90-103(10.7). Well Fields: Applicant requests that this Court determine that Applicant has the right to withdraw all the legally available groundwater lying below the Subject Property, through any additional wells which may be completed in the future, as Applicant’s well fields, subject to Rule 11.B of the Statewide Nontributary Ground Water Rules 2 C.C.R. 402-7. Estimated Amounts: Applicant estimates that the amounts listed in the following table may be available for annual withdrawal based on a 100-year withdrawal period. The amount listed for the Lower Dawson aquifer has been reduced to account for the cylinders of appropriation from two Lower Dawson pre-213 wells that overlap the Subject Property. Aquifer

During the diligence period, United Water and Sanitation District, on behalf of ECCV, has developed and acquired infrastructure for Phase II of the Water Supply Project (“Phase II”), including but not limited to mining United Reservoir No. 3; completing construction of 70 Ranch Reservoir in July 2019; completing construction of Holton Reservoir in June 2021; and securing easement deeds and agreements for structures necessary to deliver water to ECCV. During this diligence period ECCV has been working on Phase II, which will allow ECCV to deliver up to 14.75 million gallons of renewable water to customers each day, whereby reducing dependency on non-renewable wells. Phase II also included designing the expansion of the RO Plant and the North and South Booster Pump Stations (2017), construction of Deep Injection Well II (2018), and expansion of the plant and pump station (2020). The estimated cost of the Phase II infrastructure is $84.8 million. 4.2.5. Substitute Water Supply Plans. During this diligence period, ECCV has filed joint substitute SWSPs with ACWWA in order to use additional replacement supplies to replace outof-priority depletions from the ACWWA/ECCV Well Field to facilitate the efficient operation of the Water Supply Project. SWSPs were filed annually from 2017-2022. 4.2.6. Protection of Water Rights. ECCV has regularly monitored the filings of other water users. It has filed Statements of Opposition and incurred legal and engineering costs in connection with numerous cases to protect its water rights. 4.2.7. Opposition of Detrimental Legislation. ECCV has been actively involved in opposing Colorado State legislation that would negatively impact the operation of its augmentation plans and exchanges. 4.2.8. ECCV continues to rely upon and develop the conditional water rights described herein and has no intent to abandon it. 5. Claim to Correct Dry-Up Map. Exhibit 6 to the final decree in Case No. 13CW3026 includes a map identifying the lands to be dried up pursuant to the terms of the decree. Applicants later realized that the dry-up map for the Orr-Swift Farm was not updated to reflect a change in the historical consumptive use analysis that removed historical use on certain lands from the final analysis. The effect of this error was to identify lands that needed to be dried up despite the fact that this land was not claimed to be irrigated as part of the historical consumptive use analysis. To correct this error, Applicants seek to update the dry-up map for the Orr-Swift farm to eliminate the land in question. Exhibit A attached hereto shows the new dry-up map reflecting the final HCU analysis in Case No. 13CW3026. 6.

Names and addresses of owners of the land on which the structures are or will be located, upon which water is or will be stored, or upon which water is or will be placed to beneficial use. Greeley Canal No. 2 and the Cache la Poudre Reservoir are owned by the New Cache la Poudre Irrigation Company and the Cache la Poudre Reservoir Company, whose address is 33040 Railroad Avenue, Lucerne, Colorado 80646. WHEREFORE, Applicants respectfully request that this Court enter an order (1) finding that reasonable diligence has been exercised in the development of conditional water rights described herein and that they be continued as conditional; and (2) approving the update of the dry-up map for the Orr Swift Farm.

Norris, and Madison D. Phillips, Cockrel Ela Glesne Greher & Ruhland, P.C., 44 Cook Street, Suite 620, Denver, Colorado 80206, (303) 218-7200, APPLICATION FOR CHANGE OF WATER RIGHTS AND ADDITION OF REPLACEMENT WATER TO EXISTING PLAN FOR AUGMENTATION IN ARAPAHOE AND DOUGLAS COUNTIES. 1. Name, Address and Telephone Number of Applicant. Mountain Plains Investment Corporation (“Mountain Plains”), 7931 S. Parker Road, Centennial, CO 80016. 2. Purpose of Application. By this Application, Mountain Plains seeks a decree of the Water Court granting the change of use of its ownership interests in the Cleona and Pioneer ditch water rights located on Cherry Creek. The Application also intends to authorize use of the changed interests as augmentation sources available for use in the Plan for Augmentation decreed in Case No. 01CW284 to the Upper Cherry Creek Water Association (“UCCWA”), of which Arapahoe County Water and Wastewater Authority (“ACWWA”) is a member and pursuant to the decree entered to ACWWA in Case No. 96CW1144. Applicant, Mountain Plains, is developing property that has recently been included within the ACWWA service area and will be served by ACWWA. Mountain Plains and ACWWA have entered into a contract whereby ACWWA will purchase the changed Cleona Ditch and Pioneer Ditch water rights after adjudication of the change is complete. CLAIM FOR CHANGE OF WATER RIGHTS 3. Name of Water Right(s) and Structure(s) to be Changed. Mountain Plains claims a change of water rights for its ownership interests in the Cleona and Pio-

neer ditch water rights, as further described below (referred to collectively hereafter as the “Subject Water Rights”). a. Cleona Ditch. (1) Previous Decrees: Water rights for the Cleona Ditch were decreed in the general adjudication In the Matter of the Priority of Water Rights in District No. 8 of Colorado, issued by the District Court, Douglas County, on December 10, 1883. In addition to the original Cleona Ditch water rights, the December 10, 1883 general adjudication also confirmed the Cleona Ditch Enlargement for 1.5 cfs with a priority date of October 30, 1878. The State Engineer tabulation of water rights describes the Cleona Ditch Enlargement as abandoned, but does not provide a decretal citation confirming abandonment. This Application involves only the original Cleona Ditch appropriation described below, and not the Cleona Ditch Enlargement. (2) Legal Description. The decreed legal description and location of the headgate for the Cleona Ditch on Cherry Creek is in the NE 1/4 of the SE 1/4 of Section 32, Township 5 South, Range 66 West of the 6th P.M., Douglas County, Colorado. (3) Decreed Source. Cherry Creek. (4) Date of Appropriation. June 30, 1875. (5) Decreed Amount. 2.0 cfs. (6) Decreed Uses. Irrigation. (7) Amount Applicant Intends to Change. Mountain Plains seeks to change its full ownership in the right to use of the 2.0 cfs diversion of the Cleona Ditch water right one full day out of every seven, otherwise equivalent to a 1/7 interest or approximately 14.29% interest in the Cleona Ditch water right. b. Pioneer Ditch. (1) Previous Decrees. Water rights for the Pioneer Ditch were decreed in the general adjudication In the Matter of the Priority of Water Rights in District No. 8 of Colorado, issued by the District Court, Douglas County, on December 10, 1883, as further described below. One-half of the Pioneer Ditch water right (3.5 cfs) was previously abandoned by the decree entered on January 30, 1990 in Case No. 84CW681(B), District Court, Water Division 1, State of Colorado. (2) Legal Description. The decreed legal description and location of the headgate for the Pioneer Ditch on Cherry Creek is in the SE 1/4 of the NW 1/4 of Section 4, Township 6 South, Range 66 West of the 6th P.M., Douglas County, Colorado. (3) Decreed Source. Cherry Creek. (4) Date of Appropriation. Priority 95, Original Construction: March 9, 1876, Priority 109, First Enlargement: June 30, 1879. (5) Decreed Amount. 3.5 cfs, after 3.5 cfs was abandoned in 84CW681(B). Priority 95, Original Construction: 2.915 cfs, Priority 109, First Enlargement: 0.585 cfs. (6) Decreed Uses. Irrigation and domestic use. (7) Amount Applicant Intends to Change. Mountain Plains seeks to change its ownership in one-half or 50% of the Pioneer Ditch water right, which equates to all (3.5 cfs) of the remaining interest in the Pioneer Ditch not previously abandoned. 4. Historical Use. Water yield from the Subject Water Rights has historically irrigated lands currently owned by Mountain Plains as shown on Attachments A and B hereto. 5. Statement of Change. Mountain Plains seeks a change of the Subject Water Rights described above to quantify the historical consumptive use for augmentation and as a source of replacement and substitute supply. The changed historical consumptive use will be available for use by ACWWA in the Plan for Augmentation decreed to ACWWA in Case No. 96CW1144 (the “ACWWA Decree”) and to UCCWA in Case No. 01CW284 (the “UCCWA Decree”) by direct use or after storage for the above-described purposes at any of the locations described in the ACWWA Decree and UCCWA Decree, attached hereto as Attachments C and D respectively. The changed historical consumptive use portion of the Subject Water Rights will be fully consumable to the extent all historical irrigation return flow obligations have been satisfied. CLAIM FOR ADDITION OF REPLACEMENT WATER TO EXISTING PLAN FOR AUGMENTATION 6. Addition of Replacement Sources to ACWWA Decreed Plans for Augmentation. Upon approval of the claim for change of the Subject Water Rights in this Application, the historical consumptive use portion of the Subject Water Rights will be decreed and lawfully available for augmentation use and as a source of replacement and substitute supply. a. UCCWA Decree. ACWWA is a member of UCCWA, a Colorado unincorporated nonprofit association, which was established by the Establishing Contract dated December 17, 2001. This Court entered the UCCWA Decree on December 4, 2007, allowing Members’ pooled sources of water from treated reusable effluent, lawn irrigation return flows, land application return flows, nontributary and not nontributary groundwater sources, consumptive use water from changed senior irrigation rights, releases from storage, and other sources to be used to replace out-of-priority depletions to Cherry Creek caused by the pumping of Members’ wells, direct flow surface diversions, or diversions to storage by

the Members. Pursuant to Paragraph 53 of the UCCWA Decree, the Changed Water Rights may be incorporated in the UCCWA Decree in accordance with the terms and conditions of said paragraph 53. b. ACWWA Decree. Pursuant to Paragraph 26.K. of the ACWWA Decree, additional water acquired by ACWWA that is lawfully available for augmentation use and as a source of replacement and substitute supply may be added to the plan for augmentation (the “Plan”) established by the ACWWA Decree. The changed Subject Water Rights will be available as a replacement and substitute supply for the Plan at the historic location of the headgates of the Subject Water Rights, which are both located within the depletion reach established by the ACWWA Decree. The Plan will continue to be operated pursuant to the terms and conditions established in the ACWWA Decree and this Application does not seek to change, alter, or amend any portion of the ACWWA Decree other than to add the Subject Water Rights as an additional replacement source for the Plan. The Court may impose such additional terms and conditions as necessary to prevent injury to vested water rights and decreed conditional water rights applicable to the use of the Subject Water Rights as an augmentation and replacement source in the Plan. WHEREFORE, the Applicant respectfully requests this Court enter a decree granting this application approving the changes of water rights as described herein, approving the addition of such changed water rights as replacement water sources for the Plan authorized by the UCCWA Decree and ACWWA Decree, and granting such other relief as the Court deems proper.

Ms. Schuman plans to relinquish her parental rights to the child on an expedited basis in the Douglas County District Court, State of Colorado, where the adoption agency has their office, pursuant to C.R.S. § 195-103.5 in order to make the child available for adoption. Hope’s Promise’s address in Douglas County is 1585 South Perry Street, Suite E, Castle Rock, CO 80104. In connection with this matter you are advised as follows: 1. Placing a child for adoption requires termination of the birth mother and alleged birth father(s) parent-child legal relationships. Termination of parental rights means that pursuant to a court order, all rights powers, privileges, immunities, duties and obligations existing between a parent and a child are permanently severed, except for inheritance rights, which will be severed at the time of the final decree of adoption. Upon termination of parental rights, a parent shall: (a) no longer have the right to custody of, or parenting time with the child; (b) no longer have the right to any information concerning the whereabouts, activities, health, or well-being of the child; and (c) have no say in any further decisions concerning said child. 2. As an alleged birth father, you have the right to contest the termination of any parental rights you may have to the child.
