‘PREEMPTIVE’ HEALTH ORDER FOR MIGRANTS P2

Douglas County Commissioner Lora Thomas will run to represent the Highlands Ranch area at Colorado’s Capitol in 2024. The move potentially pits the Republican against Rep. Bob Marshall, first Democrat to represent the area in at least a decade.

Thomas formalized her candidacy for Colorado House District 43 on Jan. 7 in filings with the Colorado Secretary of State’s Office.

Thomas told Colorado Community Media that her resume boasts a “lifetime of service to my state and my community.”

“I’m running for HD43 because the people of Highlands Ranch have made it clear that when it comes to the issues that matter most to them — public safety, the continuous rise in the basic cost of living, determining the quality of their children’s education, and keeping taxes, especially property taxes, low — Bob Marshall and the Democrats are failing them on all fronts,” Thomas said.

A ‘preemptive’ health order amid migrant crisis

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Tens of thousands of migrants have come to Denver over the past year, and the influx shows no signs of stopping. As city officials have scrambled to address migrants’ basic needs, from food and shelter to bus tickets, other communities along the Front Range are bracing for possible arrivals, including Douglas County.

County leaders aren’t aware of any official efforts to bring migrants from Denver to the county for shelter, but are taking steps to prepare for that possibility.

The Douglas County Board of Health recently adopted an order with requirements for any entity that sends migrants to the county for shelter.

“At this point, we have no reason to believe that any of our neighboring governments intend to use Douglas County as a sheltering solution for the migrant population,” said Michael Hill, director of the Douglas County Health Department, in a news release. “However, the board of health believed — for the preservation of public health, safety, and welfare in Douglas County — that we should establish and communicate our expectations proactively.”

The county’s health order requires dates of a migrant’s arrival in the U.S. and Colorado, country of origin, health screening information, and other information, including anticipated departure from Douglas County.

‘No shelters in Douglas County’

The migrants — many from Venezuela — are fleeing economic crisis and turmoil. Many have been bused from near the U.S.-Mexico border to Denver, where officials point the finger at leaders such as Texas Gov.

Greg Abbott.

Over the course of more than a year, the City and County of Denver has served more than 37,000 migrants. That’s according to Denver’s “migrant sheltering and support” online dashboard (updated Jan. 9).

Some migrants are already gravitating away from Denver, including to Aurora. And, in Lakewood, the former mayor expressed concerns about how to respond to the crisis.

Months before Douglas issued its health order in December, county leaders called a special meeting urging Denver not to send migrants. Officials said the county does not have the resources to help the migrants.

organization that the city works with — has sent any migrants to Douglas County, a city spokesperson said: “We have no shelters in Douglas County and never have.”

“I have no idea on the nonprofits as I don’t speak for them,” added Jon Ewing, spokesperson for Denver Human Services.

“In a broader sense, I think people will go where they can find work or assistance, but as far as the City of Denver goes we haven’t sent anyone to DougCo,” Ewing said.

What’s in the order

Douglas isn’t the first suburban county to react to the crisis.

In a move that grabbed headlines, Denver sent migrants to a shelter operation in nearby Adams County, prompting that county to issue a public health order that required any entity sheltering migrants in Adams to provide “personal information for each migrant” to the county.

The text of Adams County’s order cast the requirements as a necessary step to protect public health from potential risk.

“Migrant persons, primarily asy-

lum seekers, are a particularly vulnerable population because often times (1) they have traveled from countries with limited or no access to routine healthcare — including vaccination and chronic disease management, (2) they have traveled for prolonged periods living in settings that lack hygiene and through countries with potential exposure to disease (person-to-person, intestinal, vector borne, etc.),” says Adams County’s order, adopted in October.

That language is echoed in Douglas County’s order, which also requires any individual or entity sending groups of migrants to shelter in facilities in Douglas County to provide information to the county in writing.

Among other things, the order also requires that organizations provide information about facilities that would be used to temporarily shelter migrants in Douglas County.

Douglas County’s order document also says: “Douglas County Health Department acknowledges the inherent dignity and human rights of every person, regardless of immigration status.”

Talking timeline

Asked why the Douglas health board waited until December to issue a public health order with instructions for organizations who may bring migrants to Douglas County, a county spokesperson noted that the health board doesn’t meet every month.

“The board did act quickly to put in place (the) interim order, but we also wanted to take the time to review what other counties had already done,” said Doug Benevento, president of the Douglas health board.

The policy is an “interim,” or temporary, order while the health board staff conducts “stakeholder outreach” to discuss what additional steps the county should take, according to the county.

The order is in effect until April 2 and is subject to revision and extension by the health board.

Here’s a Statistical Review of the Denver Metro Real Estate Market in 2023

Now that 2023 is in the books, I have done some statistical analysis of the year and how it compared to the other three “Covid years.”

The result of that research is reflected in the various charts on this page. In addition to the “Covid years,” of course, we have the “interest rate surge” years, which had the opposite effect.

Covid unexpectedly super-charged the real estate market, while the interest rate surge put a wet blanket on it. The effects of each are clearly visible in the charts.

One way to do an apples-to-apples comparison of the years is to look at the price per finished square foot, which is independent of the price of the home. In this first chart, you can see how the value of homes using that criterion surged during 2020 and 2021 but dropped quickly in 2022 and has more or less leveled off since:

Looking at the both the median and average sold prices of homes, you see the same trend. I like to look at the median rather than the average when studying the market, because a few multimillion-dollar home sales can have a big effect on the average price of sold homes but has no effect on the median price.

market but because listings go under contract so quickly. However, when interest rates surge as much as they did in 2022-2023, homeowners will refrain from moving up (or downsizing) because of “rate lock.” They don’t want to sell their home with a sub-3% mortgage only to buy a replacement home at double that rate (or more). You can see that in this chart of active vs. sold listings:

In mid-2022 as interest rates began to rise, the sale of homes began to plummet and sellers took or kept their homes off the market at a rate higher than usual. The initial surge in active listings at that time was because fewer listings already on the market were going under contract as buyers waited in hopes that interest rates would decline again. By January 2023 it was evident that rates were staying high, and the pent-up demand of buyers to buy and sellers to sell kicked in.

So, how slow did the market become?

The following charts are good measures of that. As the pandemic took effect in March 2020, buyers flooded the market (as reflected above) buying homes further from their places of work and/or with more room for home offices now that work-at-home became a thing. This depleted the supply of homes for sale (again as reflected above), and caused the median days on market to plunge to 5 or 6 days. Because there are always overpriced homes which languish on the market, the average days in MLS (DIM)

However, the fact that the average sold price is consistently higher than the median price shows how active the market in million-dollar homes is.

In a seller’s market, the number of active listings drops, not because homeowners aren’t putting their homes on the

remained over 20 until finally sellers saw the writing on the wall and lowered their prices enough to sell, hence the low average DIM by mid-2023.

By November 2022, new listings had dropped to a record low, but that was matched last month as shown in the next chart. Expired listings are another meas-

ure of the market’s health — and of how many sellers overprice their homes.

That, too, hit a peak in late 2022 and again at the end of 2023.

One of my favorite measurements of the seller’s market during Covid was the average ratio of sold price to listing price, indicating how much the average home benefited from a bidding war. In early 2021 and 2022, as shown in the following chart, it reached a record of

about 6% over asking price. Prior to 2020 it was typical for homes, on average, to sell slightly below asking price.

As this last chart shows, homes aren’t now selling for above their original

price but are selling for about their current listing price once that price had been lowered enough.

As I’ve said so many times in the past (see the archive of my columns online at www.JimSmithColumns.com), pricing your home at or slightly below the market will typically net you more than if you list it for a wished-for price and then chase the market downhill.

Also, just like politics, all real estate is local. Even within my hometown of Golden, I have watched homes languish on the market in one neighborhood while they trigger bidding wars a mile or two away.

Bottom line, always hire an experienced Realtor like those of us at Golden Real Estate if you want to price your home right and get the highest price.

Colorado gave $2.3 million in federal pandemic aid to people in debt to their HOAs

BY JESSE PAUL THE COLORADO SUN

Colorado has distributed more than $2.3 million in aid since November 2021 to people who are in debt to their homeowners associations through a mortgage assistance program funded by the federal government during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The money has gone to pay off unpaid HOA assessments, fines and attorneys fees.

At least 13 homeowners received more than $20,000 to settle their HOA debt under the Colorado Emergency Mortgage Assistance Program.

One received nearly $60,000, including about $41,000 to cover attorneys fees.

The data on Colorado’s distribution of Emergency Mortgage Assistance Program funds was obtained through an open records request by Homeowners of America United, a homeowner advocacy group. The Colorado Sun was provided the data and then verified it with the state.

The program comes as HOAs have initiated roughly 3,000 judicial foreclosures in Colorado since 2018, according to an investigation published in August by The Sun. About 8% of the cases — or more than 250 — resulted in homes being sold at auction for a

fraction of their value so that HOAs could recover what they were owed.

Gov. Jared Polis and Democrats in the legislature, in response to The Sun’s reporting, vowed to pass legislation this year at the state Capitol to try to reduce the foreclosures.

Several measures are in the works for the lawmaking term that begins Wednesday.

The federal Homeowner Assistance Fund was created through the American Rescue Plan Act, which congressional Democrats passed in 2021. Colorado received $175 million to run its Emergency Mortgage Assistance Program, money that must be spent before October 2026.

The U.S. Department of Treasury let states distribute the aid to cover homeowners association fees or liens, which the Community Associations Institute, an HOA trade group, says marked the first time the federal government made HOA debts equivalent to mortgage delinquencies in emergency housing legislation.

Colorado joined the majority of states in opting to let their Homeowner Assistance Fund money be distributed to pay off HOA debts.

Only a few states prohibited that use, according to the Community Associations Institute.

“In response to the concerning rise in foreclosures attributed to HOA fees and liens across various Colorado communities in 2022, the Division of Housing took decisive action to help address the issue within the Emergency Mortgage Assistance Program,” said Chynna Cowart, a spokeswoman for the Department of Local Affairs, where the Division of Housing operates out of. “Recognizing the imminent threat of displacement for homeowners, some of whom were mere days away from foreclosure, the inclusion of payment assistance for HOA fees and liens became a crucial component of the program’s framework.”

The aid is capped at $40,000 per household, though Cowart said exceptions can be made — like in the case of the homeowner or homeowners who received nearly $60,000 to cover their HOA debt.

In that situation, Cowart said the exception stopped an imminent foreclosure sale in Denver’s Green Valley Ranch neighborhood, where a high number of homes have been foreclosed on by an HOA. “It kept the homeowner from losing their home,” she said.

As of December, about $81 million remained in the Emergency Mortgage Assistance Program fund.

Charter school group facing legal challenge Group fires management that helped launch schools in Brighton, Lone Tree

BY ERICA BREUNLIN THE COLORADO SUN

A Colorado charter school network in December fired the management group that helped it launch four schools across the state, triggering a chaotic series of events that included the dismissal of more than 300 employees, swift action to rehire all staff under a new management group and, now, a potential lawsuit.

Ascent Classical Academy Charter Schools — the governing board over charter schools serving nearly 2,000 students in Lone Tree, Brighton, Windsor and Grand Junction — terminated its contract early with management organization Ascent Classical Academies, which is a Golden-based nonprofit with a similar name that establishes and operates charter schools.

Both the governing board and parents say the schools have faced multiple challenges with ACA over the past six years since their first school began operating in Lone Tree, including high turnover among school leaders and teachers and debates over what curriculum to use. The board in September unanimously voted to end its contract with ACA on June 30, 2024, “contingent upon continued cooperation by ACA,” minutes from a Sept. 26 board meeting show. Rob Williams, the charter school network’s temporary president who has long served as the board chair and treasurer, told The Colorado Sun that the board decided to sever ties sooner.

“We sped that up,” Williams said. “We didn’t feel like we were going to make it to the end of the year because they weren’t cooperating.”

When the governing board in November decided to pull funding from ACA beginning in January, the management organization “was left with no choice but to layoff its school level staff midyear,” Derec Shuler, executive director of the organization, wrote in an email to The Colorado Sun. That meant that 313 employees across the four campuses — which educate more than 1,950 students in grades K-12 along with nearly 230 additional students in a home school enrichment program — were out of a job at the end of December.

“Our desire from the beginning was to ensure any terminations would have minimal impact on students, which is why we planned transitions take place in the summer,” Shuler wrote. “This unnecessary and untimely mid-year transition will have impacts on students that we hope are handled to provide for the best experience for families.”

But Williams, who has a daughter at the Lone Tree campus, says neither students nor teachers are feeling any effects since the governing board hired Minga Education Group to take on some of the responsibilities formerly held by ACA. Minga Education Group rehired all school staff members and many of the home office employees within the charter school network so there was no disruption to their employment, according to Williams.

The board also circulated a letter to parents and staff in November explaining its plan to transition to Minga Education Group starting in January.

That letter reiterated the board’s plan to move all employees over to the new management group.

“This should be invisible to families and the students especially,” said Kim Gilmartin, a co-founder of the schools who previously worked for ACA and left last June and is now consulting the governing board. “The curriculum will stay the same. They will continue to get the same level and quality of education that they always had.”

ACA alleges that the governing board breached its contract with the company, including by deciding to stop paying them in January without a formal board vote or notice to terminate their agreement earlier than June 30, Shuler wrote. ACA said it would file a lawsuit this week against the governing board, likely in federal court.

Williams maintains there was no breach.

“We have followed the contract with them,” Williams said, declining to comment further because of “threatened litigation.”

He also declined to cite specific reasons for the board’s decision to cut ties with ACA because of potential litigation.

Shuler questioned how the governing board selected Minga Education Group as its new partner, saying he was aware that the board was going to issue a request for proposal and invite ACA to participate. He said he never saw the board go through with a public process and added that the Colorado charter schools will lose their licenses to the As-

cent name due to the alleged contract breaches.

Williams responded that the board did not issue a formal request for proposal but asked groups including ACA to submit proposals and interviewed multiple organizations. He said the Colorado charter schools will continue to use the Ascent name, citing the board’s contract with ACA. The contract held between Ascent Classical Academy of Douglas County and ACA states that “the name ‘Ascent Classical Academy of Douglas County’ shall be a trade name of the school, and the school shall have the right to use the (name) after termination of this agreement without additional compensation to Ascent.’”

Charter schools are public schools managed by outside nonprofit operators that establish a performance contract with an authorizer — a school district, or in Colorado, the Colorado Charter School Institute. The contract gives charter schools more flexibility than traditional public schools over how they educate kids, but they are still subject to the same standards and assessments as traditional public schools.

Rep. Frizell hopes to move to state Senate in 2024

BY MCKENNA HARFORD MHARFORD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Republican state Rep. Lisa Frizell has announced her candidacy for Colorado Senate. She’s seeking the District 2 seat that includes Castle Rock and stretches north into Parker..

Frizell, who currently represents House District 45, which includes Castle Rock, said that she wants to move to the state Senate to focus on affordability issues and to overhaul property taxes.

“I am excited to bring my problem-solving skills,

fiscal responsibility, and common-sense leadership to the Colorado State Senate,” Frizell said in a Jan. 9 news release. “These challenging times demand fresh ideas, and I am the right candidate at the right time for Senate District 2.”

Frizell pointed to legislation passed in the special session to address skyrocketing property taxes that revived elements of the failed November ballot question, Proposition HH, as one example of Democrats not listening to voters.

State Rep. Lisa Frizell announced she will run for state Senate in 2024 to represent Senate District 2, COURTESY LISA FOR COLORADO which includes Castle Rock and Parker.

CHALLENGE FROM PAGE 1

Thomas, who claims 26 years of service with the Colorado State Patrol in various roles, progressing from a trooper to a major, has a long history in elected office. She was elected as one of the three county commissioners in 2016 and reelected in 2020. She will have to leave office near the end of this year; she cannot run again because of term limits rules.

Thomas also served as county coroner from 2011 to 2015 and ran an unsuccessful campaign to become county sheriff in 2022.

Asked whether her campaign for state legislature will take time away from her duties as a county commissioner, Thomas said: “I’ve always been a multitasker.”

“No matter how much gets put on my plate, I always get the job done,” Thomas said. “I say what I mean and I mean what I say, and when I said I will serve my final year fully and faithfully, I meant it.”

Thomas is currently the only candidate who has filed to run in the district, but Marshall said Thomas’ announcement now makes him more likely to run for a second term.

“I don’t think she is going to contribute to the environment down there at all given her long history of friction and animosity with everyone she

Senate District 2 is currently represented by Sen. Jim Smallwood, R-Parker. He has not filed to run in 2024, according to records with the

January 18, 2024Jan works with,” Marshall said, citing Thomas’ wellpublicized battles in recent years with her fellow commissioners and the sheriff’s office.

Thomas has been mired in a drawn-out drama with Commissioners Abe Laydon and George Teal.

The two voted to investigate claims that Thomas created a hostile work environment for government workers in 2022. But outside legal counsel determined the allegations were unfounded. Since then, Thomas has fought with the commissioners for a reimbursement of nearly $6,000 in legal fees that she said she incurred defending herself.

Laydon and Teal, both Republicans, have recently taken several actions to punish her. They voted to censure — or formally disapprove — of Thomas and stripped her of positions on outside boards that oversee organizations in the community. The two commissioners also canceled her county credit card.

Marshall has not been immune to conflicts with his peers and controversies.Marshall was named in a lawsuit in which a judge found last week that he and fellow Democrats broke open meetings law by using an anonymous voting method among lawmakers to prioritize funding.

Marshall has called the suit a political attack and said he received assurances last year from Democratic leaders that they would not use the system.

And, Marshall was at the center of a different open meetings law case last year. He joined with Rep. Elisabeth Epps, D-Denver, to sue Democrats

and Republicans, alleging the caucuses didn’t properly provide notices of meetings and that representatives illegally used a disappearing messaging app to discuss legislative business. That suit was settled in September.

In yet another open meetings lawsuit, Marshall prevailed against the Douglas County School Board after suing it for having a series of private conversations before firing former superintendent Corey Wise.

Thomas argues that Marshall being named in the anonymous-voting suit highlights his “hypocrisy.”

“I think it’s important to actually walk the walk and not just talk the talk,” Thomas said.

Marshall said his inclusion in the lawsuit is a political “hit job” because of his outspoken stance on transparency, adding that he doesn’t support secret votes.

“I don’t think (the secret anonymous voting) is appropriate, but I had a commitment that they weren’t going to use it anymore,” Marshall said of Democratic leaders.

On a legislative front, Marshall has passed a bill to expand property tax exemption to veterans with disabilities. He also opposed gun control legislation and voted against the bill that would become Proposition HH, which overwhelmingly failed last November.

The nonpartisan redistricting committee rated House District 43 a plus 7.4% for Republicans in 2021.

Colorado Secretary of State’s Office.

The only other candidate who has filed to run in Senate District 2 is Stephen Hamilton of Canon City, representing the American Constitution Party.

Frizell currently serves on the Joint Legislative Audit Committee, Business Affairs and Labor Committee, Finance Committee and Ap-

propriations. Prior to serving as a House representative, Frizell was Douglas County’s elected assessor.

“In just five years of one-party rule, the Democrats successfully priced people out,” Frizell said. “If this past election and special session taught us anything, it is that the Democrat party does not care what their constituents think.”

VOICES Motivating unmotivated people

T

he “quiet quitting” and its more aggressive cousin “act your wage” are gaining momentum, or as some who write about hot topics might say, they are setting the internet ablaze. We can sit back and try to wait them out, but the only thing wrong with that strategy is that soon enough there will be a next catchy phrase for those who aspire only to mediocrity or to do the bare minimum.

A second and even more dangerous strategy would be to incentivize them by paying higher wages for underperformance. It’s like the donkey and the stick idea where we hold out a carrot in front of the donkey in hopes that he will chase it looking for that bite. The problem is sooner or later the donkey catches on, and we need to allow the donkey to take a few bites. This is only a temporary fix as we would have to continue sweetening the carrot and shortening the stick just to get the donkey to do the work that is asked of him.

Another strategy to consider, but which rarely works, is trying to motivate the quiet quitter or act-yourwage people on the team with fear.

What we are seeing is that this method simply doesn’t work. The only

people who would fear losing their jobs are the ones who have a tremendous work ethic. They are diligent about their job and take pride in their work. The parttime workers receiving full-time wages on the team couldn’t care less, they feel Michael Norton like they can simply find the next gig and ride it out there until that gravy train runs out and they are on the move again.

Not only do we have frustrated leaders, managers, and human resources professionals, there are plenty of hard-working individuals in the same age groups who resent their half-hearted counterparts.

And the danger for any organization is allowing the quiet quitter and act-your-wage employees to be seen as equal to those who are actually doing the work. Eventually, if the problem isn’t fixed, not only do the minimalists wind up leaving, but top performers will also leave.

Incentive-based motivation doesn’t work or last, fear motivation

WINNING WORDS

only makes the problem worse, and inconsistent management and motivation between hard workers and those who have decided to do less creates an unsustainable culture and unstable workforce.

We could take the approach of, “Who cares? Some will make it, some won’t, who’s next?” This is perhaps the worst of all the strategies as it becomes an increasingly expensive revolving door.

The strategy that does work is personal growth motivation. This is different than temporary incentives, this gets at the heart of what each member of the team wants to do or become as a part of the team.

This has to start early on, setting expectations during the recruiting, interviewing, hiring, and onboarding process. And this must be inspected often. Weekly or bi-weekly 1:1 meetings help surface anything getting in the way of their personal success that contributes to the team’s success.

When we take the time to build better people, those people will build us a better business. Getting to know their personal drivers up front, understanding their “What’s in it for me?” desires, helps us lead these individuals and hold them account-

able for doing their part in reaching their goals.

We also live and work in a world of isolation. We cannot manage what we do not see or do not know. The best approach for solving this particular problem is frequent communication and tighter collaboration.

This is not micro-managing, nobody want that. This is leading people out of the trenches of self-pity who have gotten stuck in this kind of negative thinking, and helping elevate them to the levels of achievement that they can be proud of and feel like they are a strong contributor to the team.

Are you working with or managing quiet quitters? Have you tried to improve engagement and haven’t found the recipe for success yet? I would love to hear your story at gotonorton@gmail.com, and when we can manage and motivate our team to working together at a higher level, and each owning their part, it really will be a better than good life.

A new look at a new year

W

hat a difference a year makes! While 2022 was horrible for many investors, 2023 showed a considerable rebound for equity asset classes. Investors who stayed focused on their goals and strategy should have been rewarded. Those who sold out and did not buy back in before the recovery will be hard pressed to find a reasonable return. The adage “It’s about time in the market, not timing the market” certainly held true this past year.

Last year was all about the Federal Reserve, and there will be a lot to learn from the Fed in 2024 as well, but rapidly rising interest rates along with the threat of recession created a choppy but positive market in 2023.

Now for 2024, there are several potential outcomes in the tea leaves but more good news than bad, accord-

ing to Jeff Krumpelman, CFA.1 He recommends looking at the facts, not the headlines. The key metrics of inflation trends, revenues, earnings, and interest rates support positive returns and are trending in the right direcPatricia Kummer tion. However, it is important to avoid whiplash when there is short-term volatility.

tion comes down a bit.2 There are always potential risks, such as this being an election year.

There is still a shadow of a possibility of a recession, but that will likely trigger the Fed to cut rates sooner if it does materialize. Lower interest rates should help bond prices recover and equities are expected to be favorable.

Especially for those stocks that remain undervalued.

I suspect that this will be a pivotable year for inflation to calm, interest rates to reverse, and recession worries to abate. Therefore, the investor can expect continued volatility but could be rewarded for creating and sticking to a strategy that matches the time frame of your goals.

Designing custom portfolios this year will be crucial for investors, especially if you were able to tax-loss har-

vest last year. You have a clean slate to begin a new strategy in the new year that fits with your financial plan.

Don’t wait to get in front of your advisor. Plan well while the year is young.

Fourth-quarter earnings season is here, and many year-end numbers and current-year forecasts will hit the charts. It is best to be prepared when this information becomes available and provides potential opportunities.

There’s no ‘Misery’ at new Miners Alley

F

an culture has never been as prevalent as it is in the age of social media, but toxic fandom has been around as long as there have been celebrities. One of the most famous examples of this is Annie Wilkes, from Stephen King’s classic story, “Misery.”

Most people might be familiar with the famous 1990 film starring Kathy Bates, but there’s also a stage version, which Golden’s Miners Alley Playhouse is doing as their first production of 2024.

“It’s a show about survival, celebrity, and how far we can be driven when we’re not fulfilling our true dreams,” said director Warren Sherrill. “It asks the question, how far can someone push the human spirit?”

“Misery” runs at Miners’ new location, 1100 Miners Alley, from Friday, Jan. 19 through Sunday, Feb. 11. Performances are at 7:30 p.m.

Thursday through Saturday and 2 p.m. on Sunday.

The production is a reunion for Sherrill and lead actress Emma Messenger, who played Annie under Sherrill’s direction at the Edge Theatre seven years ago.

“I think we are both thrilled to get

the chance to build COMING on what we had ATTRACTIONS discovered the first

go round,” Messenger wrote in an email interview.

“Annie is such a delight to embody.

Here you have a mentally teetering woman who lives by her own rules.

Clarke Reader She’s a character of emotional extremes, flying from child-like yearnings to brutal rages and back again, all within seconds.”

The story follows the trials of romance novelist Paul Sheldon (Torsten Hillhouse), who is rescued from a car crash by Wilkes. She turns out to be his biggest fan, but when she discovers the author is killing off her favorite character, Misery Chastain, she demands he write a different novel.

Both Sherrill and Messenger spoke glowingly about the team at the new Miners Alley location and how crucial they are in making the production everything it can be.

STARTING 2024 WITH A SPLASH

More than 400 locals inaugurate the new year at Evergreen Lake Plunge

BY CORINNE WESTEMAN CWESTEMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

W

hether they wanted to support a local cause or wash off any remnants of 2023, more than 400 people from across the Denver metro area celebrated New Year’s Day by jumping into Evergreen Lake.

The annual Evergreen Lake Plunge had record participation in 2024. Nonprofit Active4All, which fundraises for local parks and recreation programs, sold out its 400 pre-registered spots and limited day-of registrations.

The weather was likely a factor, as several plunge veterans said the sunny conditions and 40-degree temperatures made a difference. In other years, participants have faced cloudy, windy weather and literal 0-degree conditions, which made getting out of the water that much worse, they described.

This year’s participants were also a mix of returners and newcomers, with many convincing their friends and relatives to jump too.

Wheat Ridge’s Steve Moyer said doing a Polar Plunge-type event has been on his “bucket list” for years. So, when he decided 2024 would finally be the year he’d take the literal plunge, he convinced three of his loved ones to do it with him.

SPLASH FROM PAGE 14

Moyer even sported a shark hat for the occasion, which was one of many fun costumes people wore to the event.

Evergreen’s Jon Balliet dressed as a hummingbird — complete with sound effects.

Balliet, who’s done the plunge seven or eight times, said he wears a new costume each year. He’s won the costume contest before as a shark eating a person and decided to dress as an elk for 2023’s event.

This year, he chose a hummingbird, saying, “They’re all over Evergreen.”

Brothers Stephen and Greg Leathers — from Highlands Ranch and Englewood, respectively — donned Christmas sweaters and pajama pants for the plunge. Stephen said he talked Greg into doing it, as they both thought it’d be fun.

Greg had plunged before at Lake Michigan, but both were newcomers to the Evergreen event. They appreciated the community aspect of it, noting how many people decided to start 2024 this way — plunging into icy waters together.

Several groups like Evergreen Country Day School seventh-graders and the Evergreen High School girls basketball team plunged together.

Golden High School swimmers Mica Gillaspie and Hanna Heard decided to as well.

Gillaspie, a member of the Evergreen Hurricanes swim team, said she heard about it from her coach and roped Heard into doing it too.

The two said their goals for 2024 included helping the Golden Demons “make it to state.”

The Evergreen Lake Plunge is also a fun New Year’s Day outing for the spectators, like bagpiper Dan Kingsley.

The Lakewood resident said event emcee Alan Gionet recruited him to provide music while participants are waiting in line. Kingsley’s now performed at the event five or six times, describing it as an overall positive experience.

“So many people are out here having a great time,” he said. “ … It’s a good way to start the year off fresh.”

So long, 2023!

Some participants signed up for the 2024 Evergreen Lake Plunge because they had a less-than-ideal 2023 and wanted a powerful way to transition

Dressed as walruses, the Bebarta siblings of Greenwood Village approach the platform for the Jan. 1 Evergreen Lake Plunge. Emma Bebarta, who was doing her third plunge, said she signed her siblings up to do it with her this year.

into the new year.

Greenwood Village siblings Emma, Grace and Owen Bebarta described their 2023 as “eventful” and “weird.”

So, they wanted to start the new year “with a bang.”

Emma, who was completing her third plunge, said she signed up the first time because she “wanted a refresh” after the COVID-19 pandemic.

This year, she made her siblings do it with her.

Emma and Grace — who are both in college — and Owen — a junior and a swimmer at Cherry Creek High School — described the plunge as a fun activity they could do together while they were all on winter break.

In that spirit, they donned matching walrus costumes for their family

plunge.

Likewise, Tricia Holloway and Michelle Kemberling — both from Centennial — and Annie Zdrojewski of Evergreen dressed as phoenixes to symbolize starting 2024 by “rising from the ashes.”

The three friends plunged last year, saying it was a strong way to start 2023. Their intention when they plunged, they described, was to have a year of transformation.

2023 was ultimately a transformative year with a lot of growth, they said, but perhaps not in the way they wanted. They described it as “a burning year.”

So, the three were being more specific with their 2024 intentions, asking for transformation mixed with calm, stability and gratitude. And, rather than donning the tutus they wore in 2023, they dressed as phoenixes — creatures burn but rise to soar again.

Holloway, Kemberling and Zdrojewski recommended others try it, as it’s a “beautiful way to start the year” that people won’t regret.

All4 a good cause

The Evergreen Lake Plunge is Active4All’s biggest fundraiser, raising at least $25,000 annually for Evergreen Park & Recreation District’s special education program — called INSPIRE — and other programs.

Balliet said the fundraising aspect is a big reason he plunges every year.

“It’s a great cause,” he said. “Everyone should have access to parks and recreation.”

That’s something Clint Frost and his family know all too well.

Frost’s 9-year-old son is an INSPIRE participant, attending the annual summer camp, and going on regular outings like swimming and horse riding. Frost said his son really enjoys skiing and being in the mountains, adding, “That’s his happy place.”

So, Frost plunged this year to support his son and other INSPIRE participants who benefit from Active4All’s fundraising. Frost said he’s plunged before in 2016 or 2017, but travel and COVID-19 prevented him from doing it again sooner. Now, though, he wants to be a regular.

He described how hard everyone works to make the annual event a success, from the sponsors and organizers to the firefighters and volunteers. The participants’ financial contributions and word-of-mouth advertising are also big factors.

Frost said of everyone who helps make it possible: “I can’t thank them enough.”

“It’s a very technical show, with special effects on stage and everything. Right now, we have the right cast, the right technical crew and the right space,” Sherrill said. “It’s a horror novel, a horror movie and now a horror play and I want people to be sitting on the edge of their seat.

I want screams, jumps, all of that.”

While the show does explore some larger truths about society, it’s the type of production audiences are going to love just for the experience.

“I hope audiences come away feeling like they’ve just survived the best theatrical roller coaster of their lives,” Messenger wrote. “I hope it’s scary and fun in all the best ways.

There’s a surprising amount of humor hidden in all that shattering horror, so I can’t wait for audiences

LAWSUIT FROM PAGE 7

Not all charter schools rely on a third-party management organization with more charter schools in Colorado running on their own rather than with outside help, according to Terry Croy Lewis, executive director of the Colorado Charter School Institute. The statewide charter school authorizer acts as an independent agency under the state education department.

Charter schools that opt to bring on a management organization in some cases delegate back office responsibilities like human resources, hiring employees, managing payroll, bookkeeping and budgeting, Croy Lewis said.

A management organization has no authority over charter schools, Croy Lewis noted.

The authorizer, which holds a contract with the governing board, oversees the schools’ operations, academics and finances, evaluating schools each year and lending different levels of support in areas like school finance, student programs and data submissions, she said.

Meanwhile, the governing board acts as the school board for the charter schools, setting benchmarks for academics, enrollment, finances and spending and holding each school accountable for hitting expectations, Williams said.

The Colorado Charter School Institute has supported Ascent Classical Academy schools and the governing board throughout its transition to a new management organization, making sure the schools had what they needed to submit enrollment

numbers to the state education department during Colorado’s annual count of students in October.

The governing board has the right to select which management company best fits its needs and to switch companies if a particular company is not aligned with the direction of the schools, Croy Lewis said.

“We’ve really stressed strongly that the board needs to have strong oversight of any education management organization they work with, that they need to hold them accountable and they need to evaluate them on a year-to-year basis to ensure they are getting the services that they have spelled out in the contract,” she said.

The governing board of Ascent Classical Academy schools has worked with ACA to create cost efficiencies across the four schools, Williams said, with the management organization handling day-to-day operations of schools, helping hire staff as well as making sure that employees get paid, that the schools are compliant with HR policies and that the schools are meeting requirements detailed in their charter with the Colorado Charter School Institute, for example.

Some management organizations promote a specific type of curriculum, which has been a sticking point between the governing board and ACA. The schools use a curriculum affiliated with Hillsdale College, a small Christian college in southern Michigan focused on classical liberal arts.

ACA no longer wanted to partner with Hillsdale College, Williams said, and he’s not sure why. The board explicitly directed the management organization to stick with the curriculum at public meetings for many months, he added.

ACA spokesperson Amy Willis

said ACA is not opposed to partnering with Hillsdale College for curriculum. However, the college’s K-12 Education Office wanted to sign an agreement with ACA “through which ACA’s larger operations would be negatively impacted,” Willis wrote in a text message to The Colorado Sun. She declined to talk about specific details of the agreement, explaining that “the terms of the proposed agreement are not public.”

The governing board also was unhappy with persistent turnover among its schools, including among headmasters, Williams added, noting that the Lone Tree school had two headmasters in the course of one particular school year.

Centennial mother Annie Kaess was among the parents who helped found Ascent Classical Academy of Douglas County in Lone Tree, the first Ascent Classical Academy charter school in Colorado. Kaess said she walked in parades to promote the charter school.

Four of her six children attend the school, which she was drawn to because of its focus on classical education — a liberal arts-based approach to education that focuses on critical thinking as well as studying classic literature, history and philosophy and building moral character.

“We knew there were going to be a lot of bumps, and so we gave a lot of grace for the first three or four years,” Kaess said.

But when the school was still “limping along” a few years after it opened, Kaess said, she began asking questions. She was particularly troubled by the constant churn of staff, including headmasters and teachers, as well as the decision of other families to leave, including families who had advocated alongside her for the char-

ter school to launch.

“To me, that was the big red flag,” Kaess said. “Why did we keep having this much turnover and this much instability at a school that people fought to get open?”

She relayed her concerns to the board, urging board members to hold ACA accountable and ensure they were delivering on services they had promised. She also signed a parent petition in the fall pushing for the charter school network to remain affiliated with Hillsdale College.

She now supports the board in shifting away from ACA. “As a management organization of a school that claims to put kids first,” Kaess said, “I always wanted them to focus more on the success of their school, not just on academic scores but the health of the school as a whole for the longevity of the school. And it seemed like they were more focused on the growth of their network than the health of their school.”

ACA has continued to try to expand, including through a failed attempt to open a school in Boulder, the Boulder Daily Camera reported Shuler, ACA’s executive director, wrote in an email to The Colorado Sun, that the management group will continue trying to add to its footprint of schools across the country.

The organization “will lose some economies of scale in the short run as we shift to other opportunities in the Rockies, Carolinas, and other states,” he wrote, “but ACA has an opportunity to rebuild quickly and with better models of governance and operations.”

This story was printed through a news sharing agreement with The Colorado Sun, a journalist-owned nonprofit based in Denver that covers the state.

(3) Payments to Otero County. Aurora and Otero County entered into an Intergovernmental Agreement on February 22, 1994, and amended that Agreement on October 29, 2001 under which Amendment Aurora agreed to make annual payments to Otero County concerning the Rocky Ford Ditch shares that are a reusable source for the exchanges herein. During this diligence period, Aurora made payments in excess of $273,000. (4) Pueblo Reservoir Storage: During this diligence period, Aurora paid the Bureau of Reclamation more than $4,316,000 for use of Pueblo Reservoir in the storage and exchange of Arkansas River Basin water upstream for transport and use by Aurora in the South Platte Basin. (5) Intergovernmental Agreement with SECWCD: On October 3, 2003, Aurora entered into an Intergovernmental Agreement with the Southeastern Colorado Water Conservancy District (“SECWCD”), replacing an agreement between the parties dated December 7, 2001.

Aurora’s use of Fryingpan-Arkansas facilities for certain water rights is discussed under this IGA. During this diligence period, Aurora has made payments of more than $1,113,000 to SECWCD under this IGA. (6) Agreements for Use of the Holbrook Reservoir System Facilities: On March 1, 2005, Aurora entered into two agreements pertaining to the use of the diversion, conveyance and storage facilities of the Holbrook Mutual Irrigating Company (“Holbrook”). These agreements implement a program to recapture and store yield from foregone diversions of senior water rights. During this diligence period, Aurora made payments of approximately $419,000 to Holbrook under this agreement. (7) Intergovernmental Agreement with LAVWCD: Pursuant to an Intergovernmental Agreement with the Lower Arkansas Valley Water Conservation District (“LAVWCD”), Aurora paid approximately $500,000 to LAVWCD for the identification and implementation of infrastructure improvements, research, and investigations designed to assist in the permitting or implementation of water leasing programs in the Lower Arkansas Valley, as well as remediation and restoration efforts in the Fountain Creek Corridor. (8) Recovery of Yield (“ROY”). Aurora, along with Colorado Springs, The Pueblo Board of Water Works, the City of Fountain, and The Southeastern Colorado Water Conservancy District, are pursuing adjudication of the exchanges necessary as a result of the 2004 Regional Intergovernmental Agreement (“IGA”) between various water providers and the City of Pueblo. As part of the IGA, the water providers agreed to allow certain of their senior flows to pass through Pueblo’s RICD reaches on the condition those flows could be removed downstream and exchanged back upstream. This case lays the foundation for those exchanges.

Aurora has expended significant sums on these efforts. The ROY partners have acquired land to prospectively be used as a reservoir site at a cost

of $780,000 to Aurora. (9) Assessments Paid for Use of Twin Lakes, Lake Henry/Lake Meredith, Rocky Ford Ditch. During this diligence period, Aurora paid the following in annual assessments: approximately $450,000 for Twin Lakes Company (necessary for storage); at least $2,040,000 for the Colorado Canal/Lake Henry/Lake Meredith (necessary for storage); and approximately $1,450,000 for the Rocky Ford Ditch for the shares attributable to the Subject Rocky Ford Ditch Water Right. 14.2.2 Colorado River Basin: Aurora made the following diligent efforts with regard the its water supply system components in the Colorado River Basin that are necessary for continuation of its reusable supplies from the Colorado River Basin.

by Aurora from its Twin Lakes Reservoir and Canal Company water rights in the Roaring Fork River basin. A decree in this matter is pending.

(2) Aurora has continued to pursue development of a joint project or projects as contemplated in a 1998 Memorandum of Understanding with Vail Associates, Upper Eagle River Regional Water Authority, Eagle River Water and Sanitation District, Cypress Climax Mining Company and the Colorado River Water Conservation District.

On June 21, 2004, the City of Aurora entered into an additional Water Exchange Agreement with the Eagle Park Reservoir Company, the Colorado River Water Conservation District, the Eagle River Water and Sanitation District, the Upper Eagle Regional Water Authority, and Vail Associates, Inc. to supplement a 1998 Water Exchange Agreement. This agreement affects operations of the Homestake water rights and deliveries of reusable water to Aurora for use in the exchanges herein. On January 5, 2010, the City of Aurora entered into a Consolidated Water Exchange Agreement to supplement, merge and consolidate the 1998 and 2004 agreements. Aurora seeks to further maximize the operations of the Homestake water rights with these projects. A diligence application was filed by the parties to the agreements in regard to the subject exchange rights in 2023. (3) Homestake Project: During this diligence period, work was done on the Homestake Arkansas River Diversion to improve the ability to divert water to Otero Pump Station from the Arkansas River. Once water is transported over the continental divide through the Homestake Pipeline and, it is then transported to Spinney Mountain eservoir in the South Platte Basin via the Otero Pump Station and Pipeline. The Otero Pipeline will also convey water to the Wild Horse Reservoir that is presently in the permitting stages. (4) During this diligence period, Aurora prosecuted Case No. 2023CW3031, 2020CW3024 and 23CW3087 Water Division 5 through the Homestake Partners entity, comprising the City of Aurora and the City of Colorado Springs Utility.

Wild Horse Reservoir will facilitate functionality of Aurora’s Arkansas and Colorado basin collection, transmission and delivery systems. During this diligence period, Aurora has expended over $16,000,000 towards the development of Wild Horse Reservoir. (6) Aurora Know Your Flow Program. During the diligence period Aurora Water Conservation developed its voluntary Know Your Flow Program designed to help customers understand how efficiently they are using water. Through the program, Aurora Water Conservation estimates what a customer’s water use could be for a given billing cycle if the customer were using water efficiently. The customer receives a monthly email from Aurora Water Conservation showing the property’s actual water use versus the customized recommended indoor and outdoor water use. Customers also receive weekly watering recommendations and tips during the irrigation season. The Know Your Flow Program was designed by Aurora to encourage more efficient use of the water that is the subject of this application.

(7) Binney Water Purification Facility: This stateof-the-art water purification and recycling plant owned and operated by Aurora treats water for use throughout the City. Over $3,477,000 was spent by Aurora during the diligence period for improvements to this facility. (8) Spinney Mountain Reservoir.

In addition, such water may be used for exchange purposes, for replacement of depletions resulting from use of water from other sources and for augmentation purposes. Such water may be used on any lands to which Englewood provides water for municipal purposes. Use of such water shall not be limited to lands served by Englewood at the time of the original application, but shall extend to any lands to which Englewood hereafter provides water for municipal purposes, and to any lands to which Englewood provides water for municipal purposes under an existing or future contract of supply. H. Appropriation Date: December 17, 1990. 4. Previous Findings of Reasonable Diligence: Previous findings of reasonable diligence were entered on June 17, 2009 in Case No. 03CW139 (Water Div. 1) and on December 7, 2017 in Case No. 15CW3073 (Water Div. 1). 5. Request for Finding of Reasonable Diligence: Pursuant to the Decree issued in Case No. 90CW223, the Subject Exchanges are part of an extensive unified system for the collection, treatment and distribution of water operated by the City of Englewood for its customers. The operation of the Subject Exchanges is not only dependent upon Englewood’s demands and stream exchange potential available, but is also affected by the yield of other water rights and exchanges currently operated by Englewood. The existence of these other water rights and exchanges is necessary in order to allow Englewood to plan for growth and maintain flexibility and reliability in its water supply system. Therefore, for the purposes of showing diligence as to the appropriative rights of exchange decreed in Case No. 90CW223, diligence as to any part of Englewood’s water rights system used to operate or benefit from these exchanges shall be diligence as to the completion of the Subject Exchanges. During the diligence period of 2017 to the present, in continuing the development of the appropriative rights of exchange that are the subject of the Application, Englewood has undertaken significant efforts on various components of its unified water system. Activities that have been performed toward completion of the appropriation and application of the Subject Exchanges to beneficial use are described below.

This list is not intended to be exhaustive. (1) Englewood spent over $1.5 million on various water diversion, measurement, and distribution system improvements. This includes improvements to various ditches, wells, pumps, pipes, flumes, and gulches; removals and replacements of filter media at Englewood’s water treatment plant in the amount of approximately $757,000.00; and dredging of Englewood’s water treatment plant facilities in the amount of approximately $657,387.00. (2) Englewood spent approximately $174,453.00 in connection with improvements to McLellan Reservoir and associated facilities, including the pump station. (3) Englewood spent approximately $615,773.00 on design and pre-construction services for piping portions of City Ditch. (4) Englewood spent a total of approximately $597,510.00 on various aspects of the design and construction of the Big Dry Creek Hydropower Diversion structure, plus an additional $40,425.00 to obtain an easement agreement with the Colorado Water Conservation Board for an easement necessary for that project.

(5) Englewood spent approximately $161,277.00 to remove or maintain trees that interfered with Englewood’s water system. (6) Englewood spent $3,375.00 to install security fencing around the McBroom Ditch Headgate. (7) Englewood engaged water resource engineers and outside water attorneys to protect and enhance Englewood’s water rights, and participated in numerous Water Court cases to protect the quantity and quality of the subject water right and Englewood’s other water rights from injury by other parties.

Englewood also filed diligence applications on other conditional decrees that are part of its integrated system. 6.

SUPPORT LOCAL JOURNALISM DON’T LET YOUR HOMETOWN NEWSPAPERS GO SILENT. A recent report said local newspapers are closing at a rate of 2.5 per week. Newsroom layoffs are up 20% from last year. Some outlets laid off more than 10% of their staff in the last few months — even as we head into a critical election year. These are devastating numbers. But all is not lost.

We’re committed to bringing the news to Coloradans. That’s because you deserve access to local, independent journalism that keeps you connected and informed — especially during challenging times.
