PrideFest age restriction measure fails

Highway 83 to undergo major changes amid crash concerns

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A large stretch of a major state highway known for dangerous driving conditions will see several safety improvements in the coming years, with some projects already completed.

“I don’t think that Highway 83 has changed much from when I was a state trooper patrolling it, and it was dangerous then,” Commissioner Lora omas, one of Douglas County’s elected leaders, said in April.

“So when people slow and make a left turn, whether they use their turn signals or not, that’s a recipe for disaster.”

A main tra c artery that runs through Douglas County, State Highway 83 — known in at least some areas as Parker Road — is set to see a laundry list of changes.

Tim Dietz revived conversations about restricting Douglas County PrideFest to people 18 or older in a contentious meeting on June 6. During council comments at the beginning of the meeting, Dietz

said he wanted to protect children, falsely implying that LGBTQ people are a danger to them. Dietz said the county has not done enough to respond to an incident during last year’s PrideFest where a drag performer’s breastplate was exposed while they were dancing on stage.

“I personally want to see this stay 18 and up no matter what to protect

the kids, to not over-sexualize the kids,” he said, avoiding calling out PrideFest by name until explicitly asked which event he was talking about.

Dietz motioned to send a letter on behalf of the town to the Douglas County Commissioners, who control

“ e safety analysis shows portions of this roadway that experience crash rates above average for this type of corridor,” a planning document for the improvements says. Improvements will be made between Bayou Gulch Road — a short drive south of the Town of Parker — to Palmer Divide Avenue, the border between Douglas and El Paso counties.

The Castle Rock Police Department congratulated several young explorers last week. Over the last weekend, the explorers were in Topeka, Kansas, competing in the 2023 Capital Challenge. The team competed against 13 opponents, bringing home trophies in the following events:

• 1st place - Unknown Situation

• 2nd place - Auto Theft Investigation

The explorers will compete again this summer in Gunnison.

The Castle Rock Fire and Rescue department hosted the region for annual major incident management training early this month. The class is designed to teach participants how to plan emergency responses when a largescale incident is unfolding. These skills would be used on events like large wildfires, floods, tornados, and more; and this course is the first in a two-part series to prepare students to function as part of an incident management team.

Juvenile charged in Douglas County ‘car surfing’ incident

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

After what law enforcement has publicized as a case of “car sur ng” in Douglas County, a juvenile has been formally accused of crimes related to the incident.

Car sur ng involves riding on the outside of a moving vehicle being driven by another person. e activity is “incredibly dangerous” and the consequences can be fatal, the Douglas County Sheri ’s O ce said in a news release.

e local district attorney’s o ce announced on Twitter in early June that a juvenile is facing charges of “vehicular homicide-reckless driving,” “vehicular assault-reckless” and “reckless endangerment.”

at’s according to the DA’s o ce for Colorado’s 18th Judicial District, which covers Arapahoe, Douglas, Elbert and Lincoln counties.

e case arose out of a May 5 rollover crash on Quarry Road near Finn Avenue in the Lone Tree where a teenage passenger died.

e sheri ’s o ce initially issued a May 30 news release that referred to what it called “the recent death of a teenager due to ‘car sur ng’ in Douglas County.”

In response to questions from Colorado Community Media, the sheri ’s o ce declined to specify whether the teenager who died was one of the passengers who was leaning out of a window. e wording of the news release online had not been changed as of June 11.

e sheri ’s o ce again declined to comment on the question June 9.

e DA’s o ce on Twitter also referred to the situation as a “deadly ‘car sur ng’ case.”

A spokesperson for the DA’s ofce declined to comment on the

the May 5 crash. One, a 16-yearold, who later died. Witnesses reported seeing two passengers in the back seat outside the car’s windows, according to the sheri ’s o ce. ( ere were four people in the car.)

“Our thoughts and deepest condolences go out to the victim’s family and friends during this unimaginably di cult time,” the sheri ’s o ce said in the news release.

Not ‘worth sacrificing your life’

e sheri ’s o ce has urged the public to be aware of car sur ng in Douglas County.

In recent weeks, Douglas County sheri ’s deputies have responded to six calls involving “youngsters”

Recently, the sheri ’s o ce’s rst report related to car sur ng came in on April 17.

“Prior to that, our tra c sergeant said he had not had a single report of this behavior in years,” said Deborah Takahara, a spokesperson for the sheri ’s o ce.

“Most of these cases involved juveniles, teenagers,” Takahara said on May 31. “We did learn yesterday of (one) case involving two people in their early 20s who were stopped by deputies.”

e six reports had been spaced out over the past six weeks, Takahara said.

“No thrill or adrenaline rush is worth sacri cing your life or the lives of your friends or family mem-

Drivers can face criminal charges Sheri ’s personnel urged the public to remember that drivers can face serious criminal charges, including the following: reckless driving, various seatbelt violations depending on the age of passengers, permitting a person to hang on or attach themselves to the outside of a vehicle, permitting a passenger to ride in an unsafe manner, reckless endangerment, third-degree assault, vehicular assault or vehicular homicide. A person not riding correctly could face a charge of “person hung on/attached themselves to the outside of vehicle,” according to the sheri ’s o ce.

Douglas County assessor processing record number of appeals

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Homeowners around the Denver metro area checked a notice from their county assessors this spring and saw that their home value — as calculated for property tax purposes — had jumped by shocking amounts.

Driven by a costly real-estate market, those home values have spiked since the last time homeowners received notices of value two years ago. In Douglas County, residential properties saw increases between 30% and 60%, with a median of 47%.

Property owners in Douglas County responded by ling the highest number of appeals the county has seen in history, according to Toby Damisch, who heads Douglas County’s property valuation o ce. In appeals, owners argue their property value should be lower.

And for Douglas County, “it’s the highest percentage of appeals in recent history,” said Damisch, the county assessor.

As of early June, his o ce had received about 28,000 appeals, but Damisch expects the number to total more than 30,000, as the deadline has passed but lings still trickle in by mail.

at number dwarfs the next-highest year for appeals — roughly 13,500 in 2009, according to Damisch.

His o ce sent roughly 150,000 notices of new property values for 2023. If the

number of appeals totals about 30,000, that’s a 20% appeal rate, the highest percentage of appeals in recent history for the county, Damisch said.

High appeals return

It’s the job of county assessors’ o ces to establish accurate values of homes and other properties to determine how much property owners will owe government entities in taxes — a process meant to ensure that the amount of taxes people pay is fair and equitable.

( e assessor doesn’t set the tax rate but determines the value of the property that the tax rate then gets applied to. Local government entities like counties and school districts set the tax rates. Property tax rates are o cially called “mill levies.”)

e property valuation homeowners were receiving around early May is based on data as of June 2022, near the recent peak in the real-estate market.

So even though home prices have declined since then, property values from the assessor’s o ce re ect last year’s exceptional highs.

It was a di erent story for about the last decade: From around 2013 to 2021, in Damisch’s opinion, appeals were below average.

at’s “in large part due to the fact the market was slowly appreciating,” meaning home prices were rising, Damisch said.

So when homeowners would receive

their notices of property value from the assessor’s o ce — based on the real-estate market from the prior year — the values were low compared to the market value at the time of receiving the notice, Damisch said.

But 2023 is the rst year since 2009 where many homeowners received a property value from the assessor’s ofce that is often higher than what their home is worth on the market at the time of the new notice, according to Damisch. In 2009, appeals reached a high mark due to the e ects of the recession, he said.

(As of June 11, Damisch was not sure what percentage of the appeals that his o ce received this year were for residential property.)

Higher levels of review

e appeal season started May 1, and June 8 was the deadline to le an appeal

with the assessor’s o ce. e Douglas assessor’s o ce will issue its decisions on Aug. 15, Damisch said.

at’s because “we will require every hour that’s available to us to get that done,” said Damisch, adding “we’re working nights and weekends” to get through all the appeals.

ose whose appeals are denied but want to go further can raise the appeal to the county Board of Equalization from Sept. 1 to Sept. 15.

e board hearings are held in September and October, and the board will send out decisions on Nov. 1 in the mail. And if a person is still dissatis ed, they can le their appeal within 30 days of the mail date of that decision to the state Board of Assessment Appeals. Hearings at that level will be held throughout next year, according to Damisch.

Project 3 aimed to address areas where drivers may be making “risky maneuvers,” by changing road striping, the planning document says.

e project was to install striped

Castlewood Canyon entrance and revise passing striping near the Prairie Canyon Ranch entrance.

Concerns over ‘head-on crashes’

Other projects are named with letters, and package A recently started construction, CDOT said in midMay.

“ is corridor generated many

head-on crashes and vehicles crossing the centerline” of the road, the planning document says.

Package A was to add rumble strips in the center of the roadway to help address the issue.

Updates to come

As of mid-May, CDOT was expecting to have several other projects

completed by 2027. ose include the following:

• Package C to improve access to and from Hidden Mesa Open Space by adding left- and right-turn lanes, acceleration and deceleration lanes, along with widening shoulders and adding centerline and shoulder rumble strips.

• Package D to improve access to and from Lost Lake Drive in the Franktown area by adding left- and right-turn lanes, acceleration and deceleration lanes, along with widening shoulders and adding centerline and shoulder rumble strips.

• Package E to widen shoulders and add shoulder rumble strips on both sides of state Highway 83, also in a part of the north Franktown area.

• Package G to add a two-way leftturn lane, acceleration and deceleration lanes, along with widening shoulders and adding centerline and shoulder rumble strips in the south Franktown area.

• Package J to add left- and rightturn lanes, acceleration and deceleration lanes, widen shoulders, and add centerline and shoulder rumble strips. e improvements will cover both the intersection with Gillian Road and the entrance to Cherry Valley Elementary School, the planning document says.

• Package L to add rumble strips in the center of state Highway 83 and

the fairgrounds where PrideFest takes place, asking them to place age restrictions at PrideFest.

In May, Douglas County commissioners updated the fairgrounds policy in response to the backlash against PrideFest to prohibit “anything similar” to sexually oriented businesses during events.

Organizers from Douglas County PrideFest have said last year’s incident was an accident and they have since put in safeguards to ensure the event is family friendly. A board member for PrideFest spoke at the council meeting, noting drag is not inherently sexual.

“By attempting to categorize drag as adult entertainment, the town undermines the artistry and cultural signi cance of this vibrant and inclusive art form,” they said. “We must stand rmly against such attempts to sti e creativity and limit the diversity of cultural expression.”

Castle Rock’s attorney Michael Hyman cautioned the board that targeting one event could be unconstitutional.

“I think it would be very di cult to enforce a discriminatory direction such as this without something more that indicates a need to have an agerestricted event,” Hyman said.

e motion failed 5-2, with Dietz and council member Laura Cavey voting in favor of the letter. Dietz then motioned to continue the discussion about age restrictions on June 20, which failed 4-3, with Dietz, Cavey and council member Max Brooks voting in favor.

Council member Desiree LaFleur, who teared up during her comments, said not only would restricting PrideFest be an infringement on free speech, it didn’t “feel right.”

“If you don’t want to go to their event, then don’t buy tickets and

don’t go, but that starts in individual homes,” LaFleur said. “It’s not for me to govern anybody and tell them what to do.”

Council member Ryan Hollingshead said he couldn’t believe the council was even discussing age restrictions for PrideFest.

“How many of you are part of an organization, whether your work, your church or school, where one person has made a mistake or given that organization a black eye, and the town does not come after them,” he said. “We are talking about singling out a group to investigate or look further into because we want to do something about ‘those’ people.

at’s not the Castle Rock that I’m from.”

Discussion continued into unscheduled public comments, both at the beginning and end of the meeting, with many public commenters supporting age-restrictions for PrideFest or calling for a more restrictive town ordinance regarding sexually oriented businesses.

“ e town could promulgate a code that would apply the same standards outside of sexually oriented businesses that it applies inside sexually oriented businesses,” said Brad Bergford, a lawyer with Denverbased rm Illumine Legal.

Castle Rock currently restricts adult cabaret, de ned as performances where someone appears nude or semi-nude or includes sexual activities, to adults 21 or older. All other sexually oriented businesses in town are restricted to people 18 or older.

In response to questions from Colorado Community Media about why Dietz wants to apply age restrictions to PrideFest and why he feels it’s an appropriate government action, Dietz said he feels his actions represent the view of the majority of citizens.

“I do what the majority wants,” Dietz said. “ e majority wants it 18 and older, they don’t want small children there.”

e Douglas County school board is accepting applications to ll the seat left vacant when  Elizabeth Hanson abruptly resigned during a meeting last month.

ose interested in serving on the board will have until June 19 to le an application. e application requires a letter of interest, resume, proof of residence in District C and con rmation of active voter registration.

District C covers the eastern and southern portions of Highlands Ranch.

To be eligible, applicants must be 18 years or older, have lived in the Douglas County School District for one year, currently reside in District C, and not be convicted of child sexual o enses.

e board agreed to have board President Mike Peterson and board member David Ray select candidates from the applicant pool to be interviewed by the whole board on June 20.

e board will select nalists for a second round of interviews at a special meeting on June 27 and then

nominate and vote on a candidate to ll Hanson’s seat.

Board members agreed they are looking for candidates that have a connection to the district, support school funding, such as bonds and mill levy overrides, have experience volunteering in the district, and bring a diverse perspective or

Rock Canyon student wins national science contest

Develops pill for gluten intolerance

BY HALEY LENA HLENA@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Walking into the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center in Dallas for the Regeneron International Science and Engineering Fair, Aditi Avinash was overcome with nerves, but when she left, she took home an award and scholarship.

“I was absolutely shocked,” said Avinash, a Rock Canyon High School senior. “It was completely unexpected and I was over the moon.”

e annual competition is the largest science competition for high school students across the globe. It has also been a program of the Society for Science for over 70 years.

In mid-May for three days, more than 1,500 students from more than 60 countries competed in various categories, ranging from animal sciences to behavioral and social sciences to environmental sciences. Nineteen students represented Colorado. ere are di erent levels that students must go through in order to have the chance to compete at the International Science and Engineering Fair. First student’s must compete at the regional level, where they can qualify to the state level.

Avinash was one of four students representing the Denver Metro Regional Science and Engineering Fair and quali ed at the regional and state level.

Avinash took rst in the Transitional Medical Science category and was awarded a special award worth $52,000 in tuition From Arizona State University during the Regeneron International Science and Engineering Fair.

Her project was a Model Validation and Preclinical Testing of Digestive Enzymes for Gluten Breakdown: A Move to Cure Gluten Intolerance and Celiac Disease.

While learning about enzymes and the lactate pill in a biology class during her freshman year, Avinash became curious as to why there wasn’t an option like the lactose pill for people who are gluten intolerant.

An idea sparked.

“Essentially what my project is trying to do is nd a solution for celiac gluten intolerance,” said Avinash.  Avinash realized in her everyday life, there are family members and friends who have gluten intolerance or celiac disease. Although there are some solutions such as gluten free diets and gluten free sections at the grocery store or restaurants, Avinash says those are avoiding the problem.

“ ey’re just telling people to not eat the food,” said Avinash. “I wanted to create some kind of solu-

tion that tackles the problem more head on rather than just avoiding it.”

Building on her project each year, Avinash rst competed during her freshman year, however, it was during the pandemic, so the competition was held online.

Not able to conduct any research at her school or in a lab, Avinash focused on doing a literature review and conducted a preliminary test using a testing lab that she got online and shipped to her house.

Sophomore year, Avinash conducted the majority of testing at school with some supervised testing in a lab.

She presented this research at the International Science and Engineering Fair.

Once junior year came around, Avinash conducted research at a professional lab at the Anschutz Medical Campus where she had the opportunity to use equipment like a mass spectrometer.

Avinash conducted four main types of testing. One of which being an antibody test called ELISA Assay test.

“ at tests the prevalence of certain subjects,” said Avinash. “In 2020, COVID tests, those were all ELISA tests because they were testing how much COVID you had. In this case, I was testing how much gluten

I had.”

Avinash also conducted a Western blot test, which visualized how much gluten was present and used the mass spectrometry as a way to separate complex proteins.

e last test Avinash conducted was the Cytokine Assay to measure the amount of cytokine production. Cytokine is a wide group of signaling proteins and acts as humoral regulators that modulate functions of individual cells.

“How celiac disease occurs [is] by cells recognizing an amino acid sequence and causing an immune response,” said Avinash. “Cytokine Assay is measuring immune response.”

Between the biotechnology program at Rock Canyon and working with mentors at the lab, Avinash learned how to write and document in a legal lab notebook, pipette, do gel electrophoresis and run analyzers.

According to Avinash, the lactate pill has speci c enzymes that are able to break down milk and sugar. rough Avinash’s lengthy research, she found three enzymes that work e ectively in di erent environments that break down gluten proteins.

“My hope is that these enzymes can be used to make some kind of pill for gluten intolerance and for celiac disease,” said Avinash.

As COVID restrictions were lifted, the competition was fully back this year and Avinash had nearly 80 people competing in her category, transitional medicine.

While standing at her booth, waiting for judges to come by, Avinash got to know the people next to her.

“I got to learn so much about di erent aspects of the eld we’re studying, but the interesting thing about the medical eld and, I guess, science in general is even though a lot of projects are clumped under a broad sphere, each project in that broad sphere is so di erent,” said Avinash.

Looking forward, Avinash wants to continue her research during her senior year of high school. And although she is not certain where she wants to attend college, Avinash is thankful for the Arizona State University scholarship.

Inspired by her love of research and medicine, Avinash aspires to become a MD-PhD as she believes some of the best doctors are those who have both the clinical aspect and compassion as well as the research knowledge about conditions and treatments.

“I think the reason I love the eld of medicine and the eld of research is it’s a eld that is constantly evolving and changing,” said Avinash. “And as someone who just loves learning, I just love the eld of medicine, so I just want to be completely involved in it to every extent possible.”

Appreciating our dads

If I did not already appreciate my dad, and other dads, last week was a good lesson in not taking them for granted.

In what could be labeled as a terrible rotten no good very bad day — my dad was put in the hospital with an infection that is now in his bloodstream. en, later in the day, I learned that a man I grew up around and worked with as a young journalist committed suicide, leaving behind two children and several grandchildren.

While the two of them have completely di erent circumstances – both of them matter to a lot of people, including me.

In both instances — they are good guys who got me thinking about the burdens the dads, especially the old-timers, tend to carry.

Starting with my dad — he’s Mr. Rough and Tough on the outside, but inside — he is a big softie. He spends mornings giving our dogs treats. Believe me, they line up waiting. My kids call him the Sugar King because he’s always got some kind of candy or cake ready for distribution to the grandchildren.

On June 9, I went from planning to write my regular tribute to my dad, with whom I have always had a close relationship, to re ecting on how important he truly is to me, my family and, of course, let’s not forget my dogs.

He does not want to be in the hospital — we have no idea when he will be released. We know it’s serious. We know he’s heavily medicated.

He had pains for several days but did not want to be a burden and, following suit with his generation, didn’t want to get treated or help. We, of course, made him go in.

His spirits are good and as we sit anxiously waiting to know if treatments are taking hold each

day — I pray that on Father’s Day, he will spend it in his recliner at home with me.

For my friend — he won’t be here this year to be appreciated by his children. Instead, he is gone. He was a police o cer with whom I worked with many times. He stepped in and helped on several occasions when my oldest brother did not always make the best decisions in his teenage years.

For my other brother, he gave a bit more insight into why he may have decided to commit suicide. My brother, who used to be a highway patrolman, told a story where he came to a scene to provide backup and there was our friend beaten within an inch of his life. My brother got him help.

After that, his storied career as a police o cer was over, he retired and spent many years dealing with PTSD, trying to overcome depression. A battle too often lost in our society today.

You see, we are so quick to villainize o cers today without knowing what they see and go through daily. My brother, also a father, does not have PTSD from his days serving in the U.S. Air Force. Instead, his demons all come from his days of serving in law enforcement.

ey see the worst of our society, from domestic violence to crimes, fatal car crashes and more. Until recently, they have been taught to tuck feelings away, and hide what they are going through.

After all, most of the dads and grandfathers in our society are taught that they must have some rough, tough exterior to lead their families, work and earn.

For me, this Father’s Day, I say we should all push for them to get help. In my dad’s case, realize it’s not a bother to take you for treatment. For others, it’s not something to be ashamed of to say, “Today, I need help.”

To all fathers — remember we know you are human. Be willing to accept that yourselves.

role playing, table exercise, and group discussions. I remember sitting next to her for two of those group discussions and table exercises. And I remember walking away from both feeling the impact of her presence and contributions to the conversations.

One of these exercises required us to share at our table what we liked, appreciated, or loved about someone else we had gotten to know during the week. We had to write it down privately on a note, and then read it out loud before handing it to the person at our table that we were writing about. I will share with you that the person reading the note and receiving the compliments was usually in tears, happy tears. As it was Jill’s turn to be the center of attention, we all eagerly wrote our messages of love, a ection, and appreciation. And as we all read our note, the consistency was unreal; Jill was light, love, passionate, determined, a role model of success, bright, beautiful, and someone who exuded the desire to help others.

Why am I sharing this story? Sadly, Jill passed away suddenly last month. Her beautiful smile to never grace this earth again, but that will bless the halls of heaven for eternity. ose of us who knew her well, knew all sides of Jill as we had three plus years to share calls, Zoom calls, webinars, texts, and emails. Some of us got to see her and be with her since we graduated ZLC23. And there wasn’t any one of us who didn’t appreciate her e orts to

Castle Rock Town Talk – Town purchases Cantril School to preserve local history

Acornerstone of the Town’s Vision is maintaining a Distinct Town Identity. A supporting principle of this is a community with a vibrant Downtown that values its history and heritage.

With the Town’s purchase of Cantril School in May, we’re excited to help ensure the past of one of the most signi cant historical buildings in Castle Rock is preserved and connects residents to the history and culture of their community for generations to come.

e present Cantril School building, constructed with rhyolite from local quarries, opened in 1897. In the same location stood the original two-story wooden schoolhouse that was constructed in 1874 and burned to the ground in 1896. e school was named after the Cantril family, who were early

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Dog is neighborhood danger

e neighborhood of Terrain set between Founders Parkway and Highway 86 contains over 1,800 houses and counting. ere is an elementary school, multiple parks, two pools, and countless families seen cruising around on bikes or out for walks with their dogs.

Inside of the neighborhood, there is a home causing distress to surrounding houses for one simple reason: a dangerous dog. If this dog were a person, you’d say it has a long rap sheet; a criminal history that has slid under the radar because of a slow-moving court system and lack of county authorities to recognize just how dangerous this animal is. But as the common phrase says, “there are no bad dogs, only bad dog owners,” and the more concerning fact is that the homeowners have done nothing to prohibit these incidents from happening again. I know this because I live across the street and live in constant fear of this dog attacking myself and my family.

e last month has contained two

worry more about us and how we were doing than how she was personally doing herself.

As the news hit our ZLC23 class, we reached out to one another for comfort and understanding; it’s one of the things that happen when you become Ziglar certi ed and connect with your classmates, you graduate as di erence makers in the personal, professional, and spiritual lives of everyone you have the opportunity to meet. And Jill epitomized that mission and purpose, she changed us all. Even when she was going through life’s challenges herself, she was the rst one to respond to a prayer request, jump into a conversation, or ask a meaningful question during a podcast or webinar.

Jill was a di erence maker.

GUEST COLUMN

homesteaders in the area and owned a sawmill nearby.

When the school became the rst in the County to o er high school classes in the late 1800s, students traveled from surrounding communities to get educated in Castle Rock. e building served students until 1983, when it transitioned into o ce space for the School District. e property was added to the National Registry of Historic Places in 1984.

di erent cases of the dog attacking children. Prior to those climactic unfoldings, this animal constantly chews through the wooden fence, which is unfortunately located by the neighborhood mailboxes. ere is no comfort in getting your mail without the noise of wooden fence posts being shredded and vicious barking just feet away from you. Now that I’ve seen one of the child attacks, I have absolutely no doubt that should that dog come through the fence while I am anywhere on the street, it would attack me.

e rst time I submitted a formal complaint was in August 2022 where I stated that if something wasn’t done immediately “people were going to get hurt.” Two di erent kids within the last month. e town shouldn’t be surprised if a lawsuit cites them next for slow response to such a serious matter. Trial is set for six weeks out and all we can do is hope the dangerous momentum does not continue.

Christine McGarry, Castle Rock

I write this column as a tribute to Jill, a true ZLC’er class of ‘23. I write this to remind us that we all have something to give to others regardless of how short or long our lives here on earth are. We can smile, be kind, show our passion, know our purpose, and simply care about the person sitting across from us in the moment, because that is who Jill was, a living example to us all.

Is there someone who you need to tell how awesome they are before they are gone? Did this tribute connect with you? I would love to hear your story at gotonorton@gmail.com, and when we can remember those who left their ngerprints of love and light on our lives, it really will be a better than good life.

Michael Norton is an author, a personal and professional coach, consultant, trainer, encourager and motivator of individuals and businesses, working with organizations and associations across multiple industries.

e Town’s primary goal for Cantril School is to provide options for public use and expand the Parks and Recreation Department’s program capacity while keeping the integrity of the building. Initial options are planned to include arts and enrichment classes and events.

Under the purchase agreement, the School District will continue to use the building through the end of July.

e Town plans to o er programming there beginning in fall 2023.

We look forward to hosting Mayor Jason Gray’s annual State of the Town public address at the property on Aug.16. Stay tuned and follow us on social media (@CRgov) for details in the coming month.

If you’ve been by the property recently, you may have noticed chain-

link fencing being replaced by splitrail fencing. is is the rst of many updates to occur on the property. Before the building can be fully open for public use, many additional updates are needed. Renovations will focus on historic preservation and infrastructure investments to ensure the building is accessible for all. is work will be phased and prioritized as funding allows. We also will be exploring partnership opportunities and accepting donations to help fund some of the renovations.

You’re invited to learn more about Cantril School and keep up to date on the progress at CRgov.com/ CantrilSchool.

Search-and-rescue dogs embody the mail carrier motto: “Neither snow, nor rain nor gloom of night” will keep these trusty canines from their appointed rounds — searching for people or items with single-minded purpose.

For the dogs and their trainers who are part of the Colorado branch of SARDUS — Search and Rescue Dogs of the United States — training is a weekly, if not daily, endeavor to prepare dogs to certify in an area of search and rescue or to keep the dog’s skills sharp after certi cation.

“ e training continues for life,” said Cathy Bryarly, a retired Boulder sheri ’s deputy who trains search-and-rescue dogs. “ is has to be part of your life. It goes way beyond a hobby,

or it’s not going to work. It’s a calling.”

SARDUS members agree that it’s a labor a love based in their strong resolve to help others. Not only do the dogs and their handlers train multiple times a week, enlisting family and friends to hide, so the dogs have someone to search for, but handlers also attend seminars on a variety of topics and work together by laying trails for others to follow.

Trainers are always learning, so they can improve their canines’ ability to help in emergency situations.

Search-and-rescue dogs and their handlers are not paid; in fact, handlers spend a lot on the dogs, the equipment, the training and more. e goal is to be certi ed to go on missions, the term for helping law enforcement nd people, bodies or objects needed in an investigation.

Call the people trainers or handlers, but

more importantly, they’re dog lovers who want to work as a team with their pets to help others.

The humility of training

e trainers say it simply: Training their canines is humbling.

“Our dogs don’t make the mistakes,” Anjie Julseth-Crosby of Morrison said. “We do. ere’s so much to remember. e training is about me trying to understand what (the dogs) are saying. e human fails, not the dog.”

In fact, Julseth-Crosby, who started training her bloodhounds two years ago, has compiled a 19-page document called “ ings I wish I knew two years ago.”

Training involves having a dog follow a scent for several miles, helping the dog return to the SEE DOGS, P15

DOGS

scent trail if needed and rewarding the dog when it nds the person or item it is directed to follow.

Training can be messy as canines follow the scent wherever it takes them over all sorts of terrain in all kinds of weather.

food or toys. Once you gure that out, then trainers must convince the dog to do what they want the pup to do for the reward. It begins with what is called a puppy run-away, where you get the pup to run after a person, and when the pup nds the person, the pup gets a reward.

at transitions to following a scent to nd a person.

“It’s just a matter of making it harder and harder to the point where a dog is searching 120 acres for one person or that trailing dog is following a 24-hour-old scent through a subdivision,” Bryarly said.

No matter what or who the dog is nding, it must go to it, stay there, lay down and point its nose, so the handler knows the dog is saying that the item or person is there.

Dogs cannot certify to be search-and-rescue dogs until they are at least 18 months old, but it usually takes two years or more for the rst certi cation, Bryarly said.

“Search-and-rescue dogs that are out in the public have to be just perfect,” Bryarly said. “ ey have to stay focused and not get distracted by other dogs, animals or people.”

Getting involved

irty years ago, Julseth-Crosby made a pledge that she would own a bloodhound and train it to be a search-and-rescue dog. at’s because Ali Berelez, 6, who had been kidnapped and murdered in 1993, was found four days after her abduction by bloodhound Yogi.

Julseth, at that time a single parent with a 6-yearold, felt kinship with Ali’s family. However, as a full-time teacher, Julseth-Crosby decided to wait to train when she retired in 2021. True to her word, she began training her bloodhounds Bruno and Miley.

Niamh Coleman of Nederland was looking for something to do with her dogs, thinking it was a casual pastime. Now search-and-rescue dog training is closer to an obsession.

a multiple-day-a-week job.

Jayne Zmijewski, who taught outdoor skills to rangers most of her life, said search-and-rescue dogs were a natural progression. She’s had four search-and-rescue dogs in the last 30 years, most recently her chocolate Labrador Kodi.

Teresa Verplanck of Bailey is training Lilo, a border collie mix, for wilderness searches. She called the SARDUS group she trains with wonderful, and trainers and dogs have become a big family.

Jake Udel, who lives near Rustic, Colorado, is a volunteer firefighter and medic, and he trains his dog, Java the Mutt, a Czech shepherd, “for the love of dogs, helping people and the activity.”

Julseth-Crosby said the number of hours can be whatever trainers can put in, but at a minimum eight hours a week, and some weeks, she trains or prepares for training as much as 40 hours a week.

The right breed

While just about any breed of dog can become a search-and-rescue dog, bloodhounds, shepherds and retrievers are the typical dogs people think of, but other breeds — if they have the nose for the work — can be certi ed.

“It works better to start with a breed that is bred to do this,” Bryarly said. “In fact, there are some breeders who breed speci cally search-and-rescue dogs. But sometimes you nd a dog that is good at this, and it’s a breed you never would have guessed could do this work.”

e most important thing, Bryarly said, is the bond that the dog and handler have with each other.

“People have told me over the years that they are amazed at something their dog does,” she said. “People think they are the smart ones, but the dog is the smart one. We are just trying to keep up with them.”

Starting early

Training starts early — when pups are a few weeks old.

“Start with a dog who has a high drive,” Bryarly said. “A high-drive dog is always busy and always wanting something to do. If that energy is not channeled right away, the pup will tear your house apart.”

Most canines prefer one of two types of rewards:

TYPES OF SARDUS CERTIFICATIONS

Melanie Weaver of Lafayette knew her dog, Lego,

Udel figures he’s been on 75 to 100 missions since he certified his first dog in 2005.

SARDUS

SARDUS, one of several search-and-rescue dog organizations in the country, helps smaller organizations test and certify dogs. To get the trailing or air-scent certification, which is usually the first certification a dog earns, the canine must follow a 24-hour-old trail to find a person. SARDUS only works with law enforcement, so a person cannot request a search-andrescue dog.

Bryarly said about 30 dogs in Colorado are certified by SARDUS with most of them trailing dogs — the most of any organization in the country.

Membership in SARDUS is $25, and some people join who don’t own dogs, but they want to help in other ways such as creating tracking trails or hiding from dogs, Bryarly said.

Trainers must be physically fit since they follow their dogs through all sorts of terrain, plus they take classes such as the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s incident command courses, so they understand the structure of incidents and managing evidence.

For the SARDUS trainers, the work is definitely a passion.

• Trailing: Dogs who can find scents by putting their noses to the ground.

• Air scenting: Dogs who find scents by putting their noses into the air.

• Avalanche: Some dogs are good at smelling human scents through snow.

• Water: Some dogs are good at smelling human scents through water.

“If you think of it as work, you won’t do it for 20 years,” Udel explained. “You have to adopt the (search-and-rescue) lifestyle. It’s a life-anddeath commitment for some people — certainly the people we are looking for.”

• Disaster search: Dogs can smell through debris to find people.

• Human remains: Dogs can be certified to find human remains.

• Wilderness: A type of trailing in remote areas.

• Urban and suburban: Looking for missing children or older adults in cities.

Benchmark Theatre goes beyond Stonewall

The Stonewall uprising is a key ashpoint in 20th-century American history — one that changed the course of the struggle for LGBTQIA+ equality in the country. But a lot of what happened during the summer of 1968 is shrouded in memory and mystery.  And while there will always be questions that remain unanswered, the Benchmark eatre explores the events that lead to and followed the uprising in the world premiere of “Stonewall.”

COMING ATTRACTIONS

“With how far we’ve come and how far we still have to go, it seemed like the right time to revisit Stonewall,” said Neil Truglio, director of the production and artistic director at Benchmark. “ e question for us was, how can we dramatize

the events in a way that’s interesting and educational?

Developed by the creatives at Benchmark, 1560 Teller St. in Lakewood, “Stonewall” runs through Saturday, July 1. Performances are at 8 p.m. ursdays through Saturdays and 2 p.m. on Sundays.

e aim of “Stonewall” was to tell as accurate a story of what happened as possible, so the show was culled from actual interviews and information about the uprising and was inspired by members of

the largest cast the space has ever seen. Since the crowds at Stonewall would have been incredibly diverse, diversity needed to be re ected in the production.

“We went about the piece by opening the casting as wide as we could,” Truglio said. “From the community that turned out to the auditions, we were able to create and elevate the characters we wanted to tell the story.”

On a recent weekend, I visited the new Lakewood art space with my daughter and will certainly recommend it to readers. I very much wish Littleton could manage to open a

similar gathering of galleries. With food court nearby, it works well for a family outing.

I know they are all proud of this new move. Core New Art Space has made several moves — most recently to the old Pasternack pawnshop building farther west on Colfax. I’m sure this new location will work well for visibility for these artists, who take turns keeping the gallery space open and operating.

Also in the neighborhood is the Rocky Mountain College of Art + Design at 1500 Pierce St., which adds to the arts atmosphere that develops in Lakewood.

While the creatives were building the show, it was almost impossible not to compare the situation at the time to where society currently is, especially with the rollback of trans rights in many states and book bans on LGBTQIA+ books. e resulting show serves as a dialogue between the past and present.

“A member of the cast was there at the time and said there’s too much of then in now,” Truglio remembered. “People still feel like second-class citizens and live their lives based on court decisions.”

e hope that audiences who see “Stonewall” come away willing to have conversations and think critically about what occurred at the time and what is happening now, according to Truglio.

“Every group, community and individual has their own vision of what Stonewall was like, so we wanted to create a show where everyone who attends will learn something,” he said. “I hope audiences walk away with newfound knowledge and an appreciation for where we are today. People should see Stonewall as the beginning, not the end.”

SPRING PREP SPORTS PLAYER OF THE YEAR HONOREES

Teams, players take state titles

BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Colorado’s unpredictable weather led to several postponements and schedule changes, but the spring high school sports seasons ended when the baseball championships concluded despite the rain.

Teams from south metro schools won six state championships and several individuals also earned individual state titles.

Valor Christian won the Class 5A girls state track title, the girls golf championship and the baseball crown. Cherry Creek was the winner of the girls tennis team title and underRidge took home the 5A girls state soccer trophy. Mountain Vista was the 5A boys lacrosse state champion.

Colorado Community Media selected players of the year from south metro schools for the 10 di erent sports.

Girls tennis

Junior Jiselle Boker of Cherry Creek is being honored after winning her third straight state championship. She won her second straight No 3 singles title this season to go along with a share of a doubles crown won as a freshman. Boker also won her match in the team nals, which helped Creek capture the state team championship.

Boys track Drew Costelow, a Valor Christian senior who has signed to run at the University of Colorado, won his fourth and fth state titles after winning three last season after transferring from Center Grove (Indiana). Costelow captured the 800 meters state title in 1:52.17 and the 1,600 with a time of 4:11.88.

Girls track Mountain Vista senior Rachel Bair, a Utah commit, wrapped up her high school career in impressive fashion as she won state individual titles in the 100 meters with a time of 11.82 and the 400 meters in 56.05.Bair was second in the 200 meters nale.

Boys lacrosse

Mountain Vista’s Ethan Pearson, a senior who has committed to Towson University, helped the Golden Eagles win the state championship. He had 46 goals, 26 assists and 72 points for the season, and in four state playo s games he uno cially contributed ve goals.

Girls soccer underRidge’s junior goalkeeper

Becca Winton was a force leading the Grizzlies to the state championship. She and the Grizzlies had four postseason shutouts, including a 1-0 win over Rock Canyon in the state title game. Winton nished the season with a 0.500 goals against average and 74 saves, including nine in the state championship game.

State breathes life into lifeguard training

BY JOHN RENFROW JRENFROW@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Countless public pools opened over the Memorial Day weekend as schools let out and summer approaches. But whether they remain open throughout the season is another matter.

e state of Colorado is boosting aid along the Front Range and across the state to help local pools avoid that outcome.

Gov. Jared Polis announced nancial help on May 30 for nearly 50 cities and districts as part of the Lifeguard Training Initiative — a follow-up to his administration’s Pools Special Initiative, launched last summer.

e initiative was announced early this month at the Northglenn Recreation Center, along with administrators, local o cials, lawmakers and community members.

“We are making a splash with this exciting support for lifeguards, part of our ongoing work to make sure that pools can safely open earlier, expand hours, and stay open longer this summer,” Polis said in his announcement. “We are thrilled that so many local governments across the state applied for this funding so that families, friends, and neighbors can dive right into the summer.”

e grants, implemented by the state’s local a airs and labor departments, ranged from $1,000 requests to $20,000, the maximum. In the end, the state allocated mixed amounts, but exhausted almost all of the available funds, leaving just $200 to potentially allocate supplementally..

South Suburban Parks and Recreation District (SSPRD), which reported a signi cant shortage of lifeguards earlier in the month, received $10,700 — the highest-allocated amount awarded to more than a dozen districts or cities. Cities like Aurora and

Boulder received the same amount. Part of the shortage lies with the expensive cost of training lifeguards. Many prospective employees may be dissuaded by the idea of paying to obtain lifeguard certi cation.

A full-course lifeguard training at South Suburban through Red Cross costs $175. Community First Aid, CPR and AED training/blended learning costs $80. But after 75 hours of work, South Suburban reimburses course fees [excluding the $40 certication fee].

Other communities received smaller amounts. e City of ornton got $6,892, Commerce City, $1,462, and Parker, $4,499. e Town of Castle Rock received $7,873 and Brighton received $1,687.

A national lifeguard shortage affects roughly a third of public pools throughout the country. Colorado has struggled similarly. e state grant money aims to help train and retain lifeguards, which can be difcult to do these days, according to Brehm.

“I have seen, more and more, less interest in the position,” Brehm told Colorado Community Media in May.

Brehm said South Suburban, like many other area pools, must hire throughout the season to try and maintain strong employee numbers.

e funds from the state help provide time for pools to keep hiring and training ongoing, Brehm added. He described the support as not a favor, however, but a public service.

“It hearkens to a safety situation. People want to have the pools open. We want to have them open. But there’s a barrier that stands there,” Brehm said in response to the funding. “Having the state recognize that it is something that people want, and there’s a barrier to it, I look at it as a civic responsibility. ere is a need, and it is being met.”

Centennial Water Board votes to move out of drought restrictions

BY HALEY LENA HLENA@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Following record breaking rainfall totals, the Centennial Water Board voted to remove drought restrictions. However, water conservation continues to be key for long-term sustainability.

e Centennial Water and Sanitation District provides services to Highlands Ranch and Solstice, which have been in Stage 1 drought restrictions since July 20, 2022.

e district went into drought restrictions due to the lack of water supply and three years of drought, according to Swithin Dick, water rights administrator for Centennial Water.

For the rst time since Sept. 2021, Douglas County is out of drought conditions according to the U.S. Drought Monitor released on May 16. Highlands Ranch alone received four to six inches of rain in May.

“With the generous ample rains we got recently, that totally changed the situation with providing more water all over in the South Platte Basin,” said Dick. “ at rain event one, soaked up the soils and two, provided more water in the river for everyone that it enabled us to say OK, we don’t have a concern about being able to supply the community.”

e record rainfall has allowed the

district to capture a record amount of water, lling the storage reservoirs to near capacity.

According to Water Resources Manager William McLoud, the district takes water o the stream when it’s available and uses South Platte Reservoir, McLellan Reservoir and, for the rst time, Chat eld Reservoir to store the water. is allows the district to pace out the available water through the summer.

Rainfall this spring demonstrated a milestone for the Chat eld Reservoir Reallocation Project, which began in 1994.

e project received nal approval from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers

in June 2020. e approval granted project participants — Centennial Water is one of eight — the right to store water in the reservoir.

“We had the right to store it, we didn’t have those conditions where it’s wet enough that we could store it,” said McLoud. “It’s gotta get so wet that everybody on the stream has the water they need and then we could be storing our water.”

According to a Centennial Water press release, Centennial Water’s reservoirs are at 95% of total capacity, totaling 16,463 acre feet of water. One acre foot is equal to 325,851 gallons of water.

Centennial Water gained an ad-

ditional 6,922 acre feet of storage capacity, which will help the district decrease their dependence on deep nonrenewable groundwater.

Still, Centennial Water encourages residents to turn o irrigation systems momentarily as the ground is saturated.

“Of course everybody’s lawn in Highlands Ranch has gotten a good long drink, and shouldn’t need any supplemental irrigation until at least June,” said Dick.

As part of the district’s standard conservation rules, Centennial Water’s outdoor watering rules are in e ect until Sept. 30.

ese rules include limiting outdoor watering to two days per week, outdoor irrigation is not allowed from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., hand watering trees and shrubs is allowed any time if hose is held or using a watering can, irrigation using water conserving methods are allowed at any time, and washing cars are allowed any time as long as a hose end shut-o device is used.  e rules also include avoiding wasteful watering practices such as allowing excess water to ow into the street and neglecting to repair leaks are prohibited.

“ e purpose of the conservation measures is to minimize the times we have to go into drought restrictions and really impact people,” said Dick.

South Boulder Road, Suite 100 Louisville, Colorado 80027, Phone: (303) 442-1900, Email: dfbower@j-rlaw. com. 2. Overview. Wildstone Holdings, LLC is the developer of Wildstone Ranch, an approximately 478-acre development located in Section 8, Township 10 South, Range 65 West of the 6th P.M., in Douglas County. The other applicants are current owners of residential lots within Wildstone Ranch. Groundwater rights in the Denver Basin aquifers and a plan for augmentation for the Wildstone Ranch property were originally decreed in Case No. 17CW3010. By this application, Applicants seek to amend the plan for augmentation for the property to be consistent with the final development plan approved for the Wildstone Ranch. A map showing the general location of the property is attached as Exhibit 1. 3. Amendment to Plan for Augmentation. (a) Original Decree. The plan for augmentation to be amended was originally approved in Case No. 17CW3010, Water Division 1, dated August 25, 2017. (b) Description of Amendment to Plan for Augmentation. Since the original plan for augmentation was approved, the subject property has been subdivided and platted as the Wildstone Ranch. The final Wildstone Ranch Cluster 35 Plan is recorded in the Douglas County real property records at Reception No. 2022054637. This application seeks to amend and supersede the original plan for augmentation to be consistent with the final development approval for the property. The Wildstone Ranch consists of 12-residential lots (the “Residential Lots”) and a central lot that may include residential, agricultural, recreational, and/or hospitality facilities (the “Main Ranch”). (c) Complete Statement of Amended Plan for Augmentation. Each Residential Lot has been or will be deeded a minimum of 5 acre-feet per year and the Main Ranch lot has been allocated 35 acre-feet per year from each of the Upper Dawson, Lower Dawson, and Denver aquifers originally decreed in Case No. 17CW3010. The Upper Dawson aquifer at this location is Not Non-Tributary (NNT). Therefore, to the extent that the Upper Dawson aquifer is used to provide a physical water supply to the Residential Lots and Main Ranch, the associated depletions will be replaced by this amended plan for augmentation.

(i) Name and Description of Structures to be Augmented. (A) Wildstone Ranch Upper Dawson Residential Wells. The wells constructed on the Residential Lots are collectively referred to as the Residential Wells. The Residential Wells will be located on each of the lots that they serve (i.e. Lots 2-13 of the Wildstone Ranch). The requested plan augments up to 5 acre-feet/year of pumping from the Upper Dawson aquifer on each of the Residential Lots. Applicants reserve the right to locate the Residential Wells anywhere on each of their respective lots. Each lot may also utilize more than one well structure to pump the 5 acre-feet/ year of Upper Dawson water associated with each Residential Lot. The final as-built location of each of the Residential Wells will be identified at the time that the wells are permitted. Applicants also reserve the right to use Upper Dawson aquifer under an exempt well permit and/or nontributary Lower Dawson and Denver aquifer water to provide water to each of the Residential Lots. (B) Wildstone Ranch Upper Dawson Main Ranch Wells. The wells constructed on the Main Ranch are collectively referred to as the Main Ranch Wells. The Main Ranch Wells will be located on the Main Ranch (i.e. Lot 1 of the Wildstone Ranch). The requested plan will augment up to 35 acrefeet/year of pumping from the Upper Dawson aquifer. The final as-built location of any Main Ranch Wells will be identified at the time that the wells are permitted. Applicants also reserve the right to use water pumped from any of the nontributary Denver Basin aquifers (i.e. the Lower Dawson, Denver, and Laramie-Fox Hills) underlying the property to provide water service to the Main Ranch. (ii) Water Rights to be Used for Augmentation. (A) Upper Dawson Return Flows. The primary source of replacement water will be return flows associated with the use of the not nontributary Upper Dawson aquifer decreed in Case No. 17CW3010. (B) Additional or Alternative Replacement Supplies. Pursuant to C.R.S. § 3792-305(8), Applicants also reserve the right to use additional or alternative sources of water for replacement on a temporary or permanent basis, subject to approval by the Water Court and/or the State Engineer’s Office, including return flows or direct discharge of nontributary groundwater decreed in Case No. 17CW3010. (iii) Projected Demands. (A) Residential Lots. Indoor/household domestic demand for each residence on the Residential Lots is estimated to be 0.35 acre-feet/ year. Irrigation is assumed to average 1.6 acrefeet/year, based on an acre of irrigated land and demand of ~1.6 acre-feet/acre/year. Stock watering is estimated to require 0.05 acre-feet/year based on 0.013 acre-feet/year/animal and the average lot having four horses or other large livestock. All other demands, such as storage in ponds and water features, filling pools and hot tubs, and evaporation from those structures, is estimated to be about 3 acre-feet/year/lot, with evaporation calculated at 42.2 inches per year or

1.17 acre-feet/acre. In total, up to 5 acre-feet/year can be pumped from the Upper Dawson aquifer on each of the Residential Lots for any combination of the decreed uses, so long as actual depletions are replaced. (B) Main Ranch. Indoor domestic and commercial demands for the Main Ranch are estimated to be up to 4.5 acre-feet/year, which uses may include primary, guest, and caretaker residences, an events facility with a catering kitchen, a riding arena, restrooms, barns, and other outbuildings. Indoor/household domestic demand for each residence is estimated to be 0.35 acre-feet/year, with three residences currently planned for the Main Ranch. Irrigation is assumed to require up to 20 acre-feet/year for pasture, gardens, and greenhouses, with an average irrigation water demand of ~1.6 acre-feet/acre/ year. Stock watering is estimated to require ~0.5 acre-feet/year based on 0.013 acre-feet/year/ animal, with ~40 horses, cattle, and other livestock on the property. All other demands, such as storage in ponds and water features, filling pools and hot tubs, and evaporation from those structures, is estimated to be about 9 acre-feet/year, with evaporation calculated at 1.17 acre-feet/acre. In total, up to 35 acre-feet/year can be pumped from the Upper Dawson aquifer on the Main Ranch for any combination of the decreed uses, so long as actual depletions are replaced. (iv) Projected Depletions. Consistent with the decree entered in Case No. 17CW3010, return flows from indoor/ household domestic and commercial use are estimated to be 90% based on the use of a use of non-evaporative septic systems discharged into the South Platte River system via Cherry Creek. Return flows from irrigation are assumed to be 15%. Stock watering, pools and hot tubs, filling fishing ponds, evaporation, and all other uses are assumed to be 100% consumptive without return flows. (v) Operation of Plan for Augmentation. Applicants will replace actual depletions to the stream system from Upper Dawson well pumping with return flows from water used in the development. Upper Dawson groundwater may only be used for stock watering, storage in ponds, and other fully-consumptive purposes if sufficient return flows from domestic, commercial, and irrigation uses is available to replace the actual well pumping depletions. Different uses will be metered and/or accounted for separately so that return flows can be properly calculated. Applicants demands are estimated and the mix in uses may be changed (e.g. increased domestic use and decrease in other fully-consumptive uses) so long as all depletions are replaced. Additional releases from the Lower Dawson, Denver, Arapahoe, and Laramie-Fox Hills aquifers may be made as necessary to supplement replacements. In order to account for any post-pumping depletions, Applicants may also reserve water from the LaramieFox Hills aquifer or other nontributary groundwater underlying the property, or any other source (including return flows), which is legally available for such purposes. (vi) Reserved Water. The decree entered in Case No. 17CW3010 reduced the amount of water available from the Upper Dawson aquifer by 32 acre-feet annually (3,200 acre-feet total) for any uses which are legally available pursuant to C.R.S. §37-92-602, including withdrawal through seven exempt wells on the property. Applicants request that any final decree entered in this case be amended to reflect the appropriate amount of reserved water and exempt wells consistent with the final approved Wildstone Ranch Cluster 35 Plan. (vii) Other Remarks. All other terms and conditions decreed in Case No. 17CW3010, except as expressly modified by the decree entered in this matter, shall remain in full force and effect. Pursuant to C.R.S. § 37-92305(8), the Division Engineer shall curtail all outof-priority diversions, the depletions from which are not so replaced as to prevent injury to vested water rights. Applicants shall install and maintain such meters, gauges, or other measuring and recording devices as may be reasonably required by the State or Division Engineer to administer the amended plan for augmentation. Applicants reserve the right to operate this plan using a different mix in uses so long as the calculation of depletions is in accordance with the depletion factors decreed herein and Applicants’ replacement supply is sufficient to cover all out-of-priority depletions. Return flows from the use of the Upper Dawson aquifer shall be used only to replace depletions under this plan for augmentation and will not be sold, leased, traded, or assigned in whole or in part for any other purpose. Applicants reserve the right to bifurcate this application or any final decree entered in this case between the 12 Residential Lots and the Main Ranch. Applicants may also add additional applicants during the pendency of this case as Residential Lots and/or the Main Ranch are conveyed to non-parties.

4. Name and Address of Landowner upon which any New or Modified Diversion or Storage Structure is Located, Including Any Modification to the Storage Pool. All of the structures are located on land owned by Applicants. (7 pages plus exhibit)
