A special prosecutor will be assigned to determine whether Sarah Schielke, the attorney for Idaho Springs’ Michael Clark, violated a court order in releasing body camera footage of a May 30 incident between Clark and Idaho Springs police.

Affected parties will participate in a virtual hearing at 1:30 p.m. Sept. 3 to hear the status of the investigation, a judge determined this week.

Former ISPD officer Nicholas Hanning has been charged with third-degree assault of an at-risk person after he deployed a stun gun against an unarmed Clark, 75.

According to Schielke, Clark experienced major health problems as a result of the incident.

On July 13, Clear Creek County Judge Cynthia Jones ruled that body camera footage of the May 30 incident between ISPD officers and Clark must be released to the public

by July 29. Jones said the footage should be unredacted, however all civilian witnesses, such as EMS personnel, should have their faces blurred to protect their privacy.

Jones also stated that Clark should receive unredacted and unblurred footage of the incident as well.

WEATHER OBSERVATIONS FOR GEORGETOWN, COLORADO

We’d like to know about events or activities of interest to the community. Visit www.clearcreekcourant. com/calendar/ and post your event online for free. Items will appear in print on a space-available basis.

Week of August 9, 2021 A local National Weather Service volunteer observer makes temperature and precipitation observations each day at about 8 a.m. at the Georgetown Weather Station. Wind observations are made at Georgetown Lake. “Max” and “Min” temperatures are from digital displays of a “MMTS” (“Maximum/Minimum Temperature System”); “Mean daily” temperature is the calculated average of the max and min. “Total Precipitation” is inches of rainfall plus melted snow. “Snowfall” is inches of snow that accumulated during the preceding 24 hours. T = Trace of precipitation. NR = Not Reported. “Peak wind gust at Georgetown Lake” is the velocity in miles per hour and the time of the maximum wind gust that occurred during the calendar day preceding the date of observation. Historic data are based on the period of record for which statistical data have been compiled (about 52 years within the period 1893-2019). Any weather records noted are based on a comparison of the observed value with the historical data set.

Dumont residents oppose developing former LDS church property

BY CORINNE WESTEMAN CWESTEMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Architect Michael Caistor and Realtor Tammy Marasia have shared a proposal to build 30-40 units and a park on the former Latter Day Saints church property in Dumont. The proposal also includes turning the current building into a mini-community center.

Rather than turning the former Latter Day Saints church property into housing, many Dumont residents stated they want the site to remain open space and, at most, have a daycare center in the existing building.

Clear Creek County officials hosted a virtual meeting Thursday about the future of the former LDS church site, which is now countyowned. Two developers pitched their proposals for the 4.5-acre property on Dumont Road, and community members provided feedback on the specific proposals and development ideas in general.

Officials clarified it was a “factfinding” meeting only and weren’t making any decision on which, if any, proposal to pursue.

Blue Spruce Habitat for Humanity outlined buying the property for $450,000 and then building 20 units for seniors, while architect Michael Caistor and Realtor Tammy Marasia proposed offering 30-40 units of duplexes, small cabins and Habitatbuilt units.

Both proposals included renovating the former church building into a community center.

A third proposal had been on the agenda, but county staff confirmed the company had since withdrawn.

DUMONT FROM PAGE 4

Lawson-Downieville area, Dumont Road resident Jodie Hartman Ball said she and her neighbors wanted the site to stay as it is.

Ball read a letter detailing nine major concerns, including water availability, traffic and environmental impacts. She also expressed that Clear Creek County’s character seems to be changing, as more development begets the need for more infrastructure and public services in a seemingly endless cycle.

“We are a community that likes to stay to ourselves; we don’t want to be in the city,” Ball read. “We’ve heard about a lot of ideas. When asked for our input, we don’t feel like we’re being listened to. … We remember when taxes were much lower, and we had much more for our community.”

Ball and her neighbors instead suggested that county officials fix the housing that’s already here and address the number of vacation rentals and second homes, which they said takes away from the housing stock for those who work locally.

Amy Saxton, director of the county’s Strategic and Community Planning Division, said some concerns about developing the former LDS property, such as traffic and environmental impacts, would be addressed in a rezoning application, “if it got to that point.”

Depending on how the county decides to proceed with the two current proposals, it could ask for more proposals, Saxton explained, saying, “Maybe your comments will result in us going in another direction.”

County Manager Brian Bosshardt added: “Whether we go with one of these proposals or ask for others, we got some good comments.”

Dumont Creek Park proposal Caistor and Marasia outlined their proposal for Dumont Creek Park, which would include 30-40 units, a mini-community center and a park.

Caistor said he sees this as “the most bang for the buck,” as it would be housing for seniors, families and local workers, while the Blue Spruce proposal is only for seniors.

However, he clarified that this outline includes sharing units with Habitat for Humanity, saying, “We think Habitat coming in is great, just not the whole place. We’re hoping that we could divvy it up fairly

among the two of us.”

He said he wanted to respect the neighborhood by using a historic design so that it feels like it fits in Dumont, as both the cabins and the duplexes would have a mountainstyle look to them.

The cabins, he continued, would be 400 square feet but could be expanded up to 1,000 square feet. He saw the cabins as a stepping stone for those looking at home ownership, as monthly payments would be about $1,000 a month, which he said is comparable to apartment rent rather than a mortgage payment.

The duplexes, meanwhile, would be $200,000-$300,000 to buy, but owners could then rent out the other side to help with the mortgage payments. Marasia said this might be ideal for some seniors.

One resident wondered whether that many units was feasible given that most surrounding homes are on well water. He also wanted to see fire hydrants incorporated into the design, referencing a fire a few years ago that burned two nearby buildings.

would have 20 permanently affordable units for independent seniors.

The homes would be about 1,100 square feet, have a ground-level floor only, and could be a standalone unit or a duplex. The home would also be pre-fabricated to reduce costs.

Overall, the project would maintain wildlife corridors, maintain the existing trees while planting new ones, and preserve the existing building as a gathering space for

homeowners, Blue Spruce leadership said.

When a resident asked whether the proposal had to be for seniors only, Executive Director Kathleen O’Leary responded that the project is still in its early phases and could potentially change if that’s something the community wanted.

“There’s a big need for senior housing,” she said, adding that Blue Spruce is building workforce units elsewhere in the county.

‘New kids, new year, new ideas’

Carlson Elementary Back to School Night welcomes families to 2021-22 school year

BY CORINNE WESTEMAN CWESTEMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

While Clear Creek students and teachers might be back at school now, last week’s Back to School Nights throughout the county offered a glimpse of the 2021-22 school year.

Carlson Elementary’s Back to School Night on Thursday gave students and their parents a chance to meet their new teachers and reconnect with their friends.

It was also a chance for students to play on their new playground.

Incoming kindergartner Kensley, 5, said the tall slide was her favorite part.

Kensley and her mom, Amy Hospodar of Idaho Springs, explained how they checked on the playground’s progress while riding their bikes this summer, and liked the end result.

Hospodar, whose younger daughter is also starting preschool at Carlson, said that she was a little nervous about the latest COVID-19 wave.

Masks required in Clear Creek schools As Clear Creek schools start the new year this week, everyone in the district’s four buildings will be required to wear masks.

The exceptions are when students are outside or when some of the young students are learning phonics and reading, Superintendent Karen Quanbeck said during a joint work session between the school board and the Clear Creek commissioners on Aug. 12. Teachers and staff who are not vaccinated for COVID-19 will be asked to test for the illness twice a week.

“I think masks are important and a wise decision,” Commissioner Randy Wheelock said.

Quanbeck said the district has changed its masking plans as information about the Delta variant has changed.

“For the most part, I feel like our community is very trusting,” Quanbeck said. “We will lose some people (because of the mask requirement), and we will gain some people. But at the end of the day, we have to be able to look at ourselves in the mirror and say we have been keeping kids safe.”

Workforce housing being considered County officials are interested in putting affordable workforce housing on the track south of Building 103, which is the former middle school property.

Commissioner George Marlin told the school board at their joint work

session on Aug. 12 that state funding might be available so the county could purchase the property and then find a developer to build housing units.

School board President Mitch Houston said Marlin’s suggestion aligned with the school board’s goal for that property, and the school district did not want to be in the housing-development business.

Both boards agreed to continue discussions.

Bus barn site possibilities The school district is looking at two properties to relocate the bus maintenance facility after Four Points Development buys the current bus barn and football field properties.

One of the properties is in Idaho Springs while the other is next to Clear Creek High School/Middle School.

Superintendent Karen Quanbeck said at a joint work session between the school board and the Clear Creek commissioners on Aug. 12 that she was excited about the possibility of locating the bus facility next to the high school. She envisions classrooms and workshops for students to learn about engines similar to the Project Bike Tech program that teaches students to tune and fix bikes and Project Snow Tech program that does the same with snowboards and skis.

Once the property is sold, which is expected to happen in the spring, the school district has 22 months to relocate the buses.

quired to wear masks while indoors and wash their hands frequently, and schools will take every opportunity to have classes outside.

“I know (the staff members) are doing what they can,” she said. “ …

I hope everyone’s safe and the year goes well.”

Kensley was excited to return to school so she could see her old friends and make new ones, and Hospodar said her daughter really appreciates having that social structure.

Clear Creek schools are back in session

W

e are back! By the time you read this, students will be back in classrooms, or outside on a trail or in some other interesting place learning. Before students returned, educators spent time learning and working together, and it wasn’t always inside.

The first day for educators looked like this: on the trail at Mt. Falcon talking about strong student communities and academic planning; visiting local businesses and community partners in Idaho Springs; sitting in the new athletic stadium at Clear Creek Middle/High School talking about capstone projects and students’ futures; walking the newly built trail at the middle/high school discussing the graduate profile; visiting our Project Bike Tech classroom to brainstorm more career-connected learning opportunities for students.

Some of our educators even came back early to learn with Luke Foley, a CCSD graduate and experiential, outdoor learning expert and coach.

Our community has so many gifts to share: Clear Creek graduates with incredible talent, local businesses and organizations willing to partner and provide students with internships and more, and the mountains.

Karen Quanbeck Seriously, the mountains. Our “outside-the-classroom spaces” are exceptional.

So with staff and students back at school, what does Pandemic Learning 2.0 look like for everyone? We left last year thinking, “Phew! Did it!” We kept kids in school all year with tight health and safety protocols including masking, handwashing, cohorting and more. We looked forward to a return to “normal’’ in the fall. Most of us tucked away our masks (or lost them) and didn’t think much about checking temperatures or social distancing all

summer. And then Delta.

It is a shifting landscape as we dig out our masks and look for our vaccination records. The difference this year: We know more about pandemic learning, vaccines are making a difference, and we are really good at adapting quickly. (We joke, but not really, about earning the Golden Gumby Award.)

We are requiring masks (inside only) for now for students and adults. It’s challenging, especially on a hot day after lunch. Mascne (acne from masks) plagues some of us in the most unfortunate way. But wearing masks is less challenging than shifting to remote learning or quarantining. And last year we actually saw some unexpected benefits to masking and increased disinfecting: significantly fewer absences due to illnesses such as colds or the flu. Put bluntly, #covidstinks, #wegotthis.

None of us wants to continue to deal with a pandemic, especially as we consider the impact on students last year. However, we will continue

to do the hard work required to keep kids safe, so we can spend our year focused on learning.

Finally, something I’ve been thinking a lot about lately is the amount of conflict our kids experience or are exposed to in the media, our larger society or even closer to home. News stories on many topics, but especially on COVID, highlight the deep dissension within communities, political officials and even districts. Our students are resilient, and yet they pick up on adult emotions and conflicts.

We can help our kids by projecting an attitude of, “We got this.” A request: As you talk about the health and safety protocols, I am appealing to everyone to be thoughtful in words and actions, especially when around kids. This won’t always be our reality, and our kids deserve the most amazing learning experiences (and childhood) that we can offer now.

A look at proposed election law changes

I

enjoyed the baseball all-star game and was thinking about how lucky Denver was to get the game. You may remember it was moved here by baseball officials to voice their displeasure with the voting law changes being passed in Georgia.

The LA Times says that was a great decision, but the Wall Street Journal says MLB got it wrong. Surprise … two totally different opinions. I decided to do some research to see if I could determine which makes more sense.

The U.S. Constitution unmistakably gives the power to govern elections to the state legislatures, which it uses interchangeably with the words “the people.” It most definitely does not say the federal government is incharge of elections.

So, states are proposing new election laws. Republicans are supporting these new laws saying their candidate lost because of election fraud, and they must stop future fraud.

Democrats say the new laws amount to voter suppression and seek to negate the new laws with a federal statute.

Before going further, I think we must stipulate five things about which the facts are clear: 1. No fraud has been found in the 2020 presidential election. None.

2. Eighty one percent of voters want honest elections they can trust and that exclude illegals (Monmouth poll).

3. Despite the lack of specific evidence, 76% of us are somewhat concerned about election security and accuracy (Monmouth).

4. Making elections secure and easy for voters to participate are both worthy goals.

5. According to pollster FiveThirtyEight, two thirds of us trust mail-in

voting.

As usual, the political parties are disingenuous concerning this subject.

Democrats call the new laws “Jim Crow era” laws. A friend sent me a Jim Crow era law from Lubbock, Texas, which the mayor signed in Columnist 1923.

This law told Blacks precisely where they could live and prohibited anyone from renting to them in any other location. It is a disgusting document and totally unlike the proposals we are examining. The Republicans are dishonest as well, citing fraud that does not exist.

The proposed changes come in six categories. To examine the details of the 165 bills in 33 states would be impossible here, but we can look at each category and determine if the approach makes sense.

1. Limitations on mail voting. (We are good at mail voting in Colorado, but not all states are. Why not limit until the expertise is acquired?)

2. Making it mandatory for a mail ballot to be requested rather that automatically provided. (Seems like a reasonable idea to reduce fraud opportunities.)

3. Making vote harvesting illegal (We should each be responsible for delivering our own ballot other than to help an elderly family member, which will still be allowed.)

4. Strengthening signature matching on mail ballots. (Why not use all the expertise we have?)

5. Stricter ID laws including proof of citizenship. (81% of us support id laws.)

6. Requiring states to more aggressively purge their voting rolls of

moved or deceased former citizens.

(This seems like an appropriate administrative process.)

It should be noted that 11 states are attempting to expand mail voting as they add safeguards, and several are expanding early voting and same-day registration. Several are broadening the reinstatement of voting privileges I know that the devil is in the details, and it is almost certain that all the voter suppression attempts will not be negotiated out, and that is sad. The goal should be to maximize voter participation, but sadly some do not share that goal. As usual, both parties have grossly overstated their cases. It the changes improve voter confidence in election outcomes, it will b worth the effort.

So how big a deal will all this be?

As this is being written some state legislatures, including Texas are compromising and removing draconian language. The balance of power gives Republicans majorities in legislatures as well as governorships in 23 states. Democrats hold the same power in 15 states while 12 are divided. To be sure, the new rules will generate campaign changes to adjust to the new laws. Experts from polling juggernaut FiveThirtyEight rates the net change between the parties as negligible to small. So, we can be hopeful that the quality of the candidates will determine the election outcomes, not the gamesmanship.

s most of us are in similar situations, I was stunned and saddened by the recent loss of a long-time friend to cancer. We met as children, and were actually engaged in kindergarten … though, for some reason, this arrangement didn’t even last out the school year.

I do have black-and-white photos of us as five-year-olds in paper hats at a birthday party, in the inevitable classroom group pics, and in our yearbook photos that seem so staged and formal now.

We both eventually got engaged – to others – and, as lives do, ours crisscrossed through the years (decades, really) since we left our small high school in the San Luis Valley of southwestern Colorado. I’ve lost other classmates and schoolmates, too, and the news of such deaths is sorrowful.

Contemplating our next class reunion coming up in a couple of years fills me with both melancholy and anticipation. We are a group of friends made smaller by the vagaries of our fates, and we need to gather close to each other and cherish this time we’ll have together.

If this sounds cheesy, so be it.

Events such as this loss of a friend have brought the concept of living in the moment into much clearer focus.

Of course, there are books and podcasts and courses and classes and and and that dictate how to “be present” in our lives, to live in the moment. That’s all well and good unless you are desperate to find a job or are waiting for a diagnosis or are suffering a loss of any kind.

Yes, I know … being present and living in the moment may help us endure these types of trials. And I try, I really do. So perhaps it’s this recent jolt – as well as the future

prospect of a dwindling class reunion – that’s increased my resolve to determine how, and with whom, I want to spend my moments.

And just now – perhaps unsurprisingly – even as I am writing these words, Andrea Doray a friend has sent a photo of a refrigerator magnet he likes. Among the magnet’s maxims, “appreciate your friends” particularly resonates with me.

Other truisms encourage me to be more present with the words “listen hard” and “practice wellness.” To help me live in the moment, I’m motivated by “play with abandon” and “laugh” and “do what you love.”

For many of us, though, doing what we love means balancing our time, talent and passions with our jobs, bills and other obligations. And for me, personally, this balance feels more urgent, more necessary and more demanding after the past year and a half.

Life, as lives do, can turn quickly, for good or for harm … with opportunities for either – or both – joy and regret. So, ultimately, I’ve decided what being present and living in the moment means for me … to “choose with no regret.”

Fittingly enough, the first words on the magnet are “live with intention,” followed by “walk to the edge.” And it’s the wisdom at the end that brings me to tears: “live as if this is all there is.”

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Free of the fee Many thanks for following-up on the misleading signage posted in front of the Mt. Evans Fee Station. I think it’s important that local residents understand they may drive up the Mt. Evans Highway anytime the road is open without a reservation or payment of a fee, just as long as they don’t use the facilities within the two Federal Fee Areas or enter the Summit Lake Denver Mountain Park. Most out-of-state

visitors are eager to enjoy the view from the top parking lot and don’t mind making a reservation or paying for it. But many Front Range residents know there’s much more to the Mt. Evans experience. They shouldn’t be put off from making multiple trips per season as they so desire, being free from fees and reservations!

NEWS BRIEFS Georgetown opens up to food trucks Georgetown officials are drafting ordinance language that would allow food trucks and other mobile vendors to operate for 10 days a year without being tied to a special event.

Currently, mobile vendors are limited to four days a year and must be tied to a special event.

They also have to be approved by the Business Promotions Commission,a rule officials plan to retain in the proposed ordinance.

The proposed ordinance will go through two readings and a public hearing with the Board of Selectmen. It couldn’t take effect until approved at second reading,likely this fall.

During the Aug. 10 Board of Selectmen, BPC member Paul Boat said the goal is to enhance the

town’s draw for mobile vendors without hindering brick-and-mortar businesses.

He also said the BPC has recommended that food trucks shouldn’t be allowed to occupy parking spaces unless the street is closed off for a town event.

“We wanted to leave some of the language at the discretion of town staff and other stakeholders, rather than put it into the ordinance itself,” he said.

Selectman Jon Jennings said he wanted the town to try out the changes, adding that the town can amend things again if it needs to.

While he and most of his fellow selectmen said they were OK with loosening the restrictions, Selectman Dienne Powell felt that food trucks would conflict with historic district’s aesthetics.

Firm hired to start VCMP trails Construction on Virginia Canyon Mountain Park trails will begin this December after the Idaho Springs City Council unanimously approved a proposal from Flow Ride Concepts.

The company, which has built other trails in Clear Creek County, will build the first 3.5-miles of trail at VCMP for $373,860.

City staff said at an Aug. 9 meeting that this was $12,000 under budget, and the remainder can

be used for future signage at the park.

While the city asked Flow Ride Concepts, which was the only company to answer the city’s Request for Proposal, to start building trails in September, the company said it wouldn’t be able to start until December because of its current workload. However, Assistant City Administrator Jonathan Cain said Flow Ride Concepts still anticipates completing all the trailwork by next summer.

“This first trail segment isn’t as complicated as the mountain bike segments,” Cain said of the construction timeline.

He also confirmed that the company is interested in helping the city build the rest of the park, but funding and other logistics are still in the works.

where nothing was stolen. Residents are encouraged to lock vehicle and garage doors, including residential doors.

Thursday, Aug. 5 — Georgetown police assisted with a report of a bear inside a Silver Plume residence. The bear entered the foyer and damaged the door. It was also able to get to some bird seed where it began eating the seed on the deck of the residence, blocking the front door. Law enforcement scared the bear and deter it from returning.

All residents are encouraged to be mindful of bears and should not leave trash or food in places that would attract animals.

Friday, Aug. 6 — Idaho Springs officers were dispatched to the 900 block of Virginia Street on reports of a dog fight. When officers arrived, they found two witnesses who had tried to break up the dogs and received minor puncture wounds.

However, they were able to detain the aggressive dog until law enforcement arrived. The dog was transported to the shelter, and the owner of the dog was cited for having an aggressive dog and dog at large. The dog was placed on a 10-day bite hold.

Friday, Aug. 6 — Idaho Springs officers responded to mile marker 240 of eastbound Interstate 70 for reports of a semi on fire. The fire department also responded, and emergency personnel found the trailer tires were on fire and the driver had been able to disconnect the tractor from the trailer. The load

that was being carried was a load of scrap aluminum. The fire was extinguished, and no injuries were reported.

Friday, Aug. 6 — Georgetown police were advised to “be on the lookout” for a vehicle on eastbound Interstate 70, as the driver was a suspect in a domestic violence incident. The vehicle was located at a gas station in the 1500 block of Argentine Street, and officers contacted the man. He was identified as having an active warrant for his arrest and booked into the Clear Creek jail. Summit County continued its investigation into the alleged assault.

Saturday, Aug. 7 — Empire police responded to a motor vehicle accident in the 400 block of East Park Avenue. A single vehicle occupied by two people was driving east at a high rate of speed when it hit the median. Investigators believe a medical problem maybe have precipitated the incident. Both the passenger and the driver were seriously injured and transported to the hospital.

Saturday, Aug. 7 — Georgetown police conducted a traffic stop in the 1500 block of Argentine Street. The vehicle reportedly had no visible license plates, and the driver was found to be revoked with two warrants for his arrest. He was taken into custody and booked into the county jail for one of the warrants, and also received a summons for the traffic offenses.

“I don’t want to see three food trucks (downtown) during the Christmas Market,” she said.

Boat and Police Judge Lynette Kelsey affirmed that, as Kelsey put it, “This is to open the door, but it doesn’t guarantee that anyone’s coming up.”

POLICE BLOTTER: CRIME CALLS FROM AUG. 2-8 Wednesday, Aug. 4 — A minor came into the Idaho Springs police headquarters saying a man was chasing him and attempting to spray him with bear mace. ISPD officers and Sheriff’s deputies responded and de-escalated the situation. The two were separated, and the man was issued a citation for menacing. During the investigation, officers found out the minor had warrants and was transported to a juvenile assessment center for evaluation.

Wednesday, Aug. 4 — Idaho Springs officers received a report of a stolen cell phone from the 2100 block of East Idaho Springs Road.

The owner said he’d been tracking his phone into Gilpin County and was following the suspect. He also called the Gilpin County Sheriff’s Office to assist him in a civil standby in retrieving his phone. It was returned without issue.

Wednesday, Aug. 4 — Georgetown police received reports that someone had entered an open garage in the 1700 block of Sunburst Circle and entered a parked vehicle. The unknown suspect rummaged through the vehicle and stole the owner’s manual. A report was received the previous morning of a suspect entering an open garage in the 1700 block of Main Street

After a year of homeschooling, John said David was both excited and nervous to return to school.

However, the family got to meet his new teacher and reconnect with friends at Back to School Night, which was great, he described.

Plus, they were also excited to see the new playground after monitoring the construction all summer.

Principal Loraine Swartz explained that the event was overall a way to welcome students back, engage with community partners such as the library district and public health department, and tell parents about the new experiential

learning model.

Swartz said the teachers are “so jazzed” about the new model’s learning possibilities.

She also emphasized that, while the school is taking precautions, “COVID is not the focus; we want to focus on learning.”

Fourth grade teacher Mike Dinardo, who is starting his fourth year at Carlson, affirmed that he’s looking forward to trying out the new model and taking the classroom outdoors.

He hoped to combine subjects, such as social studies and science, into a single lesson, and “have a whole education experience.” He also said he was planning field trips, such as to local mines, to engage students in local history and geology.

“New kids, new year, new ideas,” Dinardo said. “I think everyone’s ready for a re-fresh.”

Kiwanis commences cornhole competition Inaugural tossing tourney tempts 60 teams

BY GLENN WALLACE GWALLACE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Four bean bags, a board with a hole in it and some folks willing to give it a toss — that’s all that’s needed for a game of cornhole.

And on Aug. 14, more than 120 folks gathered on Buchanan field to do just that at the inaugural “Toss for a Cause” Blue Spruce Kiwanis Cornhole Tournament.

Sixty teams of two, playing in a double elimination bracket, competed in the new event.

Dale Tolan, the treasurer for Blue Spruce Kiwanis and the tournament referee, started the day by directing each team to the correct set of cornhole headboards to begin the tournament. Tolan said he likes to play the game but would be solely the referee for the day.

Going over the tourney bracket

BODY CAM FROM PAGE 1

Before the DA’s Office released the official version on July 28, Schielke released her own version of the footage online on July 22. The civilian witnesses’ faces were blurred in Schielke’s version of the footage, but there was additional text onscreen.

Shortly after, Jones issued Schielke a citation for contempt of court.

David Lane, an attorney for Schielke, argued in court on Aug. 12 that his client complied with every court order and moved for dismissal.

Judge Jonathan Shamis, who is from Lake County but was sitting on the matter after Jones had recused herself, decided to request a special prosecutor to determine whether Jones’ order had been violated either in exact language or in spirit.

Shamis clarified that the special prosecutor would only investigate the allegation against Schielke and not the underlying assault case against Hanning.

He and District Attorney Heidi McCollum said that, in Clear Creek, special prosecutors are assigned from the First District — which is comprised of Jefferson and Gilpin counties — because of proximity.

The initial incident Around 10:45 p.m. on May 30, Hanning and officer Ellie Summers responded to a woman in the 3200 block of Riverside Drive. She and her friend claimed that she’d been punched by a neighbor.

Body camera footage, from a camera worn by Hanning, shows the officers knocking on Clark’s apartment door without announcing themselves as police. Clark is seen answering the door with a swordlike weapon in his hand, asking, “What do you want?”

Hanning, with stun gun in hand, loudly orders Clark to “put it down.”

Clark turns around and complies, placing the sword-like weapon on a piece of furniture before turning

with him, some names stand out, like Hitting Holes and Crushing Souls, Children of the Cornholes and Two Corny Chicks.

“This one stands out for me,” said Tolan, gesturing to This One’s for Mike. “This guy’s partner Mike passed away suddenly after they had signed up. He got a new partner, and they’re playing on.”

Kristy Tolan, Dale’s wife, is also the Blue Spruce Kiwanis president. She said during the COVID-19 pandemic, a small group of their friends would occasionally gather outside to play the game.

“I started thinking about a small friendly tournament, and it grew,” she said, gesturing to the crowd of players across the field.

The local Kiwanis group used to run the annual chili cook-off as one of its major fundraiser of the year. That event has become a specific fundraiser for area fire departments though, leaving the local Kiwanis club in search of a new event that could raise money for the many children’s organizaback toward the two officers who are shouting contradictory commands of “get down on the ground” and “get out here now.”

Clarke, wearing just a pair of underwear, instead stands near his entryway and starts talking about his neighbors.

“They hit that wall so hard I thought they were going to come through,” Clark said.

A second later, Hanning fires his stun gun at Clark, who falls unconscious.

Twenty-seven seconds pass between Clark first opening the door to him being electrocuted into unconsciousness.

The two officers drag the unconscious Clark out of his apartment and handcuff him. He regains consciousness a little more than two minutes later. In the video, Clark sounds groggy and confused about what is happening.

The body cam footage shows Hanning conducting more of an interview with the complaining neighbor before following the ambulance down to St. Anthony Hospital where Clark was taken.

Clark’s attorney said he was hospitalized for at least six weeks, stating that he suffered heart complications, a stroke and a burst appendix from being stunned into unconsciousness.

Idaho Springs police said that after reviewing the evidence, the department would not pursue charges against Clark for the initial assault claim.

Once the DA’s office concluded its investigation, an arrest warrant was issued for Hanning on July 7 for third degree assault. He turned himself in and was released on a $2,000 bond of cash or surety. He was also fired from employment with the department, where he had served for three years.

Summers, who has been with ISPD two years, was disciplined internally according to the department.

No ISPD records indicate previous interactions between Clark and city officers.

CORNHOLE TOURNEY WINNERS

FOR MORE INFO

The winners of the tourney, Craig Sammon and Mike Moore from Greeley won $800 for coming out on top.

The duo said they’ve played competitively before, and heard about the Evergreen tournament through a friend of a friend.

“It’s awesome up here,” said Sammon, “ the people, the venue...”

“Wonderful atmosphere,” said Moore.

Second place was awarded $350. The third place team won $250.

“It’s nice to be involved with the community and not just through business,” said Larry Olde, who was stationed at the concession stand at the cornhole tournament.

“You’ve got to give back,” he said.

Olde would know. He’s one of the founding charter members of the Blue Spruce Kiwanis. His father, and his father before him were members of Kiwanis clubs too.

tions and programs that have long been assisted by the club.

Among those organizations is the Boy Scouts, including Troop 888, which is chartered through Blue Spruce and also helped set up the tournament grounds for the day.

The number of signed-up teams meant some locals were conscripted to bring their own cornhole boards down to the field. Among those who answered the call was John Thompson of Evergreen. His

partner was Tom Carby.

“We get paired up with my wife first round!” said Thompson.

Kristy Tolan said she was pleased with the turnout and community support of the brand new event.

“And the money we raise goes to kids and kids organizations in Evergreen.”

‘South Park’ creators agree to buy Casa Bonita Deal for Lakewood icon not final until bankruptcy litigation concludes

BY BOB WOOLEY BWOOLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Art imitates life, imitates art?

In a virtual press conference with Governor Jared Polis, Trey Parker and Matt Stone, creators of the animated series, South Park, confirmed they’ve reached an agreement to buy Casa Bonita.

The legendary Lakewood Mexican restaurant has been shuttered since early in the pandemic. Its owner, Summit Restaurant Group, declared bankruptcy earlier in the year.

Even before Friday’s announcement, South Park and Casa Bonita would have forever been linked in the annals of pop-culture history after the restaurant was featured in a now-classic episode of the series.

Parker and Stone said they’re aware of recent community efforts including a GoFundMe campaign to save the restaurant.

“We’re excited to work with everybody to make it the place we all want to make it,” Parker said.

They said they’re also aware the quality of the food could be

“If a kid can’t stomach it (the food), it’s pretty bad,” he said.

Recently, in lieu of being open for business, Casa Bonita has been giving guided tours, to comply with

lease provisions. Just weeks ago, Robert Wheaton, CEO of Summit Family Restaurants told Denver’s Channel 7 that he planned on reopening Casa Bonita in September.

Land swap proposal a big deal for Jeffco Open Space Mining will be extended but conservationists would score a win

BY BOB WOOLEY BWOOLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A large land swap deal being considered by Jefferson County Open Space (JCOS) and Martin Marietta Materials, Inc. (Martin Marietta) just came one step closer to getting done.

Jefferson County Open Space Advisory Committee unanimously passed Resolution 20-09, approving the acquisition of Centennial Cone Park/ Guy Gulch Property and recommending approval by the Board of County Commissioners.

The deal would add nearly 1,200 acres of open space land to Golden’s Centennial Cone Park and surrounding parks.

The proposed deal came about in part, via Martin Marietta wanting to increase operations in its open-pit mine outside of Golden.

Matt Robbins, Community Connections Manager, explained the change that will net Jeffco Open Space more than 1000 additional acres compared to the original proposal.

According to Robbins, Martin Marietta originally approached JCOS to expand their mining operations onto around 64 acres of JCOS’s Matthews/Winters Park.

But JCOS is prohibited from giving up open space land without getting an equal or greater amount of land (or dollars) in exchange — and it has to be undeveloped land.

So, Martin Marietta proposed a deal offering select parcels of land to the north of the mine totaling 130 acres to JCOS in exchange for the 64 acres they needed to expand.

One of those parcels was a roughly 60-acre plot where the Heritage Square amusement park and park-

vaccinated; expresses support for organizations that have imposed vaccination mandates; and urges everyone age 2 and older to wear masks indoors in public places, including schools.

“Colorado’s health care workers have heroically cared for their communities throughout the pandemic,” the statement says, “but we must all come together to protect the most vulnerable among us.”

The statement comes as pressure mounts on state and local governments to do more to quell the new surge in cases caused by the highly infectious delta variant of the virus and to get more people vaccinated faster.

Also on Aug. 12, Children’s Hospital Colorado and SCL Health became the latest health systems in the state to require employees to be vaccinated.

Children’s, whose main hospital is in Aurora and with smaller facilities across the metro area, said

ing lot once stood.

As JCOS was considering the deal, the Goltra family, large landholders in the county, contacted them about selling nearly 1200 acres of their Goltra Ranch property known as Guy Gulch to JCOS. The land that makes up Centennial Cone Park was originally sold to JCOS by the Goltra family as well.

According to Robbins, the family was happy with the way the Centennial Cone Park deal had gone. They wanted to know the additional 1200 acres (they want to sell) would be protected from future development.

Robbins said JCOS was interested in acquiring the land but didn’t have the funds to make the deal. Initially, they planned to raise the money by selling off the amusement park/ parking lot site from the proposed Martin Marietta deal.

He said they could have done that, but it’s something (selling commercial real estate) they don’t normally do.

So, a new plan was formed.

JCOS pitched Martin Marietta on amending the deal under consideration.

Instead of giving the former amusement park site to JCOS, they wanted Martin Marietta to keep that plot (along with water rights) and sell it themselves and reimburse JCOS $14.5 million for the purchase of the Goltra property.

Robbins said Martin Marietta agreed it was a good solution and are amending their proposal accordingly.

Among important provisions from the original deal that remain in the amended version, at the end of Martin Marietta’s mining operations, the mining land will revert to Jefferson County ownership, to be used as a reservoir.

Additionally, JCOS will receive $4.5 million in cash payments over 30 years (at a rate of $150,000 per year).

As for the effects of increased

mining operations In a previous interview, Martin Marietta West Division President Abbott Lawrence said the company would utilize the same practices that it already utilizes at the existing mine and that the operations impacts on the community would not change.

The Guy Gulch deal, if completed, would accomplish more than a third of JCOS’s goal of acquiring 3000 acres of land in the next five years.

During the Aug. 5 JCOS Advisory Committee meeting, Deputy Director, Hillary Merritt said the Goltra family is hoping to close the deal by the end of the 2021 calendar year.

Merritt said if accomplished, the Martin Marietta deal should be finalized around August of 2022. She said Martin Marietta has already agreed to all terms in the amended deal, but if it should happen to fall through, JCOS would be able to fund the Guy Gulch deal with money currently budgeted for land acquisition over the next few years.

workers must be fully vaccinated

by Oct. 1 as a condition of employment, meaning people could be fired if they don’t comply.

SCL Health -- parent of Saint Joseph Hospital in Denver, Lutheran Medical Center in Wheat Ridge and Platte Valley Medical Center in Brighton -- is giving workers until Nov. 1 and won’t allow them to return to work if they remain unvaccinated beyond then.

UCHealth, Denver Health and Banner Health, as well as Kaiser Permanente, have previously announced vaccine mandates for employees. The city of Denver has mandated that all health care workers at facilities in the city, including nursing homes, be vaccinated.

“Vaccines are essential in the fight against COVID-19,” Jena Hausmann, Children’s Hospital Colorado’s president and CEO, said in a statement. “With safe and effective vaccines widely available, this decision affirms our commitment to the safety and care for our team members and for those we serve.”

On Aug. 10, the Colorado chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics sent a letter to Gov. Jared

Polis and state and local health officials urging orders requiring universal mask wearing in Colorado schools and child care centers, regardless of a person’s vaccination status. The Colorado Vaccine Equity Taskforce, a group of political and health leaders at dozens of organizations across the state, urged the same.

“Colorado students need access to safe, uninterrupted learning this school year,” Dr. Edward Maynard, the AAP Colorado chapter president, said in a statement. “The current patchwork of school policies across the state will result in more COVID-19 cases, more transmission of the virus, more quarantines and repeated school closures.”

But at a news conference on Aug. 12, Polis showed no inclination to issue new mask orders or vaccination requirements for health care workers.

Polis noted that, while more than 500 people are currently hospitalized in Colorado with COVID-19, including 17 children, the state is nowhere close to exceeding hospital capacity. Polis has said many times that ensuring the state stays within

its hospital capacity is his “North Star” in making decisions about statewide protective measures.

The state has issued guidance to school districts urging mask usage, in keeping with recommendations from the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. But Polis has left it up to school districts to determine whether to mandate mask-wearing — something that has led to a patchwork of rules across Colorado as kids return to classrooms.

On Au. 12, Polis reiterated the benefits of mask-wearing, while also downplaying the lack of a mandate.

“There is no silver bullet,” he said.

Speaking about masks, he added, “We believe they are part of a layered protection system that can keep kids safe.”

Pandemic, low birth rates change kindergarten Experts fear learning gaps for young Colorado students

A musical phone alarm went off in Sharon Gray’s classroom — a cue that it was time for students to switch to a new activity station.

“Boys and girls, remember how we’re learning about rotating?” she said to the soon-to-be kindergartners at her table. “Where do you guys get to go?”

A little boy answered immediately. “The park!” he said.

The correct answer was actually the block table at the other end of the orange-carpeted room, but such trial and error was part of the weeklong Jump Start program at Peiffer Elementary in the Jefferson County school district.

Paid for with federal stimulus dollars, the summer transition program is among a host of initiatives school districts are launching this year as they prepare to welcome a new crop of children to classrooms after more than a year of disrupted schooling — and in some cases, no formal schooling at all. District leaders also plan to reduce class sizes, add coaches and intervention teachers, and provide tutoring.

Many experts fear the youngest students could face the most substantial social and academic gaps, both because pandemic upheaval came during a critical time in their development and because thousands of children didn’t attend preschool and kindergarten last year as they normally would have.

In Colorado, the biggest K-12 enrollment drops last year occurred in kindergarten, with a statewide decline of 7,000 students, or 9%.

That matches national trends, including findings from a new Stanford University and New York Times analysis of 70,000 schools in 33 states.

The size of last year’s kindergarten decrease varied among Colorado districts, with some areas harder hit because of the state’s declining birth rate. The rapidly growing Brighton-based District 27J saw a slight dip of 3%; Denver, the state’s largest district, saw an 8% decline; and the Pueblo 60 district saw a 17% drop.

The absence of so many kindergartners from last year’s public school rolls raises many questions that educators will begin to answer as the 2021-2022 school year starts: Who stayed in preschool an extra year? Who attended kindergarten in a private program or another district? And who missed out completely?

Bill Jaeger, vice president of early childhood and policy initiatives at the Colorado Children’s Campaign, said students who have historically been marginalized in the U.S. education system, including children of color, dual language learners, and students with disabilities, were more likely

to lose access to early education during the pandemic, worsening existing inequities.

“My guess is that teachers are going to be challenged by the fact that children have had such a wide array of experiences in the year prior to this fall,” he said.

Enrollment rebounds — to a point Kindergarten enrollment is poised to rebound this year, though not generally to the level it was prior to the pandemic, according to a Chalkbeat survey of 12 districts, including the state’s six largest.

Only one-third of the districts polled, including Mapleton, Westminster, Cherry Creek and Jefferson County, expect to surpass their kindergarten enrollment numbers from the 2019-20 school year.

The other eight districts predicted lower kindergarten enrollment this fall than in 2019, with double-digit drops possible in the Greeley-Evans, Aurora and Pueblo 60 districts.

District officials cautioned that projections are preliminary and could change if there’s a late rush in enrollment or other developments.

Christina Weiland, an associate professor of education at the University of Michigan, said many experts expected kindergarten enrollment to exceed pre-COVID levels this year.

“We know we have a lot of kids who sat out kindergarten last year,” she said But she also acknowledged the growing number of factors in play, from the surging Delta variant to changing policies on masks and quarantines.

“There are so many pushes and pulls right now,” she said. “It is a very local and heterogenous story everywhere.”

Weiland, the lead author of a recent University of Michigan and Urban Institute report on early childhood pandemic effects, said it will be more important than ever for educators to use their in-person instructional time wisely this year, especially if quarantines or school shutdowns persist.

The report recommends a variety of ways schools can use stimulus money to accelerate learning for young children, including tutoring as early as kindergarten, hiring assistant teachers, adding mental health support, and replacing ineffective curriculum with high-quality options.

Lower birth rates mean fewer students Tangled up with COVID-related enrollment changes are declines associated with Colorado’s shrinking child population, particularly in school districts with aging populations or pricey housing. State Demographer Elizabeth Garner said births in Colorado began slowing in 2007 and have dropped every year since.

“Absolutely hands down we are seeing fewer kids,” she said. “That is going to be part of your impact [on enrollment] and I’m sure COVID is your other part.”

Local artist offers look inside Meow Wolf Denver Scott Hildebrandt creates miniature worlds enclosed in vintage electronics

BY ALEXIS KIKOEN ROCKY MOUNTAIN PBS

After years of anticipation, Meow Wolf’s permanent Denver location is set to open Sept. 17 under the name Convergence Station. The Santa Febased art collective has been secretive about what to expect from their four-story, immersive art exhibition, but Rocky Mountain PBS got a peek inside.

We caught up with Arapahoe County artist Scott Hildebrandt and his piece titled, “You Are Here.”

Hildebrandt — who lives in Littleton and works at an Englewood studio — is known for his work with antique and vintage miniatures, creating micro worlds inside of old clocks, cameras, radios, TVs and more. He had used this medium to make a huge work of art that fits Meow Wolf’s theme.

The artist mimics the idea of interdimensional time travel by creat-

though not Denver itself — have lost children in the kindergarten and first grade age range over the last decade. The decline is steepest in Douglas County, where the population of 5- to 7-year-olds has dropped 28% since 2010. Boulder, Jefferson and Adams counties have experienced smaller declines.

Before the coronavirus hit, officials in the 37,000-student Adams 12 district north of Denver expected a 2% decline in kindergarten numbers in 2020-21 because of birth rate trends. Instead they got a pandemic-fueled 14% drop.

Matt Schaefer, the district’s planning manager, said it’s hard to know where all those missing students ended up in part because kindergarten isn’t mandatory in

ing stories inside of vintage electronics that he hopes will remind people of their own past.

“It’s almost like a memory inside of a memory,” Hildebrandt says.

His piece uses more than 150 individual dioramas that all fit together into 20 shelves that span from the ceiling to the floor. Each diorama contains a story brought to life with individual lighting and sound effects that come from speakers built into the artwork.

Hildebrandt laughs, “You could spend a lot of time just looking at all the small details in each one.”

The collaboration between Hildebrandt and Meow Wolf Denver has been three years in the making. “I knew in my proposal that I wanted a hallway that would bridge two different worlds and interact with you as you walked through it,” he says.

Hildebrandt has always loved how his work evokes memories and a childlike wonder from viewers.

“That’s what I love about my art, it gives you the ability, even as an adult, to pretend.”

People call the artist Mr. Christmas. It’s a name he got about 10 years ago when he first started doing this artwork.

Colorado so there’s less data available than for students in other grades.

Even as the first day of school approached, Schaefer said enrollment numbers were still in flux. Some parents were getting cold feet about in-person school because of the Delta variant and recently switched their children to the district’s online learning program, he said.

Meanwhile, with the availability of the vaccine, other parents have had the opposite change of heart, switching their kids back to inperson school.

“There’s a lot of movement in each direction right now,” Schaefer said. “We are just drowning in it all and just waiting for the moment when the dust settles.”

Teachers plan to take it slow Chris Christoff, a teacher at Centennial Elementary in Denver, doesn’t expect a wider range of

Hildebrandt focused on vintage Christmas pieces. The first piece he made was a little Christmas village that was under glass. People took interest in that style of art and so he just sort of absorbed the name Mr. Christmas, he says.

skills among his 27 incoming kindergarten and first-grade students than in a typical year. His multiage classroom has always included some children who didn’t attend preschool and others who are reading chapter books.

What may be different this year, he said, is the distribution of students along that range.

Christoff, who taught remotely all of last year, said the stimulation of a busy classroom will likely be the biggest change for him and many of his students once school starts.

“We’re going to take the social acclimation a little bit slower,” he said, with more focus on helping kids regulate their emotions and communicate their needs.

He’s heard some teachers who taught in person at the end of last year say that some returning students acted like they still had their mute button on — making comments and having side conversations as if others couldn’t hear them. On the plus side, Christoff expects his students will easily adapt to any computer-based activities this year.

At Peiffer Elementary, the 90 preschool through fifth grade students who attended the Jump Start summer program represented a cross section of pandemic experiences.

About half attended in person last year, a quarter attended remotely, and the remaining students are

new to the school.

Principal Molly Touher said she hoped the summer program would ease first-day jitters, build stamina for a full in-person school day, and help students, especially the youngest ones, with school rhythms and procedures.

“What we focused on was trying to connect the social-emotional learning with some of the academic skills,” she said.

One such lesson played out for preschoolers gathered in the school kitchen on the fourth day of Jump Start. They were preparing to make homemade Play-Doh by following the steps of a recipe, which their teacher reminded them is “another word for a routine.”

Down the hall, in the first and second grade room, where children played with Legos, blocks and squishy water beads, the word of the day was “perseverance,” the ability to see a task through despite difficulties and obstacles.

A first-grader at the water bead table took a run at defining it and got close.

“Keep doing it till it’s hard,” she said.

Metro area offers lesser-known historical sites

BY ELLIOTT WENZLER EWENZLER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

g t hile the Denver metro area is dotted T with well-known aging ranches and charming historical homesteads, some p m history lovers of the area may be in p search of a different kind of site — one they either haven’t heard of before or that they must s romp through the woods to access.

F In search of these types of unusual history sites, one place to look is the National Register of c w Historic Places.

For each of the counties that surround Denver S p — not to mention all the counties in the United m States — this register provides a list of historically significant sites, some of which are unique d or little-known sites.

Some of these sites, like an abandoned, rattle- m snake-ridden military amphitheater in Golden, a m aren’t available for public access. Others, like Native American shelters in Douglas County, havea a restricted location to protect them from being f disturbed.

But some on the list are simply often-overlookedf historical sites in the area.

W The list includes bridges, farms, schools, archaeological sites and more and offers new discoveries for residents curious about all the nooks n c and crannies of their community’s history.

Here are a few of the Denver area’s hidden history gems from the National Register of Historic D i Places and beyond. r Pioneer graves in Commerce City Did you know that Denver’s oldest cemetery is w t mostly in Commerce City?

Riverside Cemetery, located a half-mile north of I-70 at 5201 Brighton Boulevard, was built in 1876 f and registered with the national register in 1994. c i While the 77-acre cemetery is surrounded by industrial properties, the cemetery itself serves as a peaceful resting place for many of Colorado’s o m pioneers. One afternoon in August, the giant cemetery stood mostly quiet and empty save for a t few birds.

The gravesite serves as the final resting place M for three of Colorado’s governors — John Evans, s Samuel Elbert and John Routt. Pioneers buried c there include Augusta Tabor, a Gold Rush pioneer; Barney Ford, who escaped from slavery; andb Silas Soule, an abolitionist and soldier who testi- s fied against Col. John Chivington and the Colo- w rado Cavalry after the Sand Creek Massacre and l was then assassinated in the streets of Denver. b Throughout the cemetery there are dozens of unique headstones, including a log cabin replica, I a giant horse sculpture, several large angel figfi s SEE HISTORICAL, P21 t o BACKED BY A m c YEAR-ROUND

ures and a statue of a man buried there.

An online tour brochure of the cemetery guides drivers and walkers through the historic site, which is still open for new burials.

The brochure tells the stories of several of the people buried there and provides general information about the cemetery. The informational pamphlet is available at www.FriendsofRiversideCemetery.org/visit-riverside.

A nonprofit that helps preserve the cemetery, Friends of Historic Riverside Cemetery, accepts donations to help maintain the property, which they say is “in a state of rapid decline.”

Some may notice that many of the trees on the property have died and the ground cover is mostly weeds and native grass.

“Over the fall and winter of 2008-2009, several dead trees fell and damaged nearby monuments and a historic private mausoleum,” according to the nonprofit’s website. “Many more were taken down to manage this risk, but additional trees are in danger of falling during future storms or periods of strong winds.”

The driveable and walkable cemetery is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily.

Walking among mammoths in Douglas County While many have heard of Dinosaur Ridge near Morrison, there’s more than one significant archaeological site in the area.

Lamb Spring Archaeological Preserve in Douglas County is a less well-known site but it has the highest concentration of mammoth remains in the state. It also offers free tours.

“You can go on the site and see where they were,” said Cameron Randolph, vice chair of the preserve’s board of directors.

In 1960, Charles Lamb was expanding a pond fed by a natural spring on his property when he came upon several large bones that were later identified as Columbian Mammoth remains.

After several excavations of the site, archaeologists found the remains of at least five mammoths but there could be up to 30 mammoths that died at the site.

During its life, an adult male Columbian Mammoth could grow up to 14 feet high at its shoulder. Other remains found on the site include Ice Age horses, camels, sloths and bison.

There’s also evidence that the site was used by prehistoric people in the area as a hunting site. If confirmed with more research, that would put humans in that area 2,000 years earlier than previously thought, Rudolph said.

Today, the site is 35 acres of protected land between Roxborough Park and Sterling Ranch.

It was added to the national register in 1997.

Free tours of the site are available on the first Saturday of each month during much of spring, summer and fall. Visitors can see where the remains were discovered, see a cast of one of the mammoth skulls found there and learn more about the region from the preserve’s docents. This year, the last organized tour will be

Oct. 2. The site also offers private tours.

Eventually, the organization hopes to have a museum on the site of the excavation, Rudolph said.

The preserve will also host tours and demonstrations as part of International Archaeological Day on Oct. 16 in coordination with Roxborough State Park.

Donations to the organization are welcome during tours. Residents interested in learning more about the preserve or signing up for a tour can do so by visiting www.LambSpring. org or their Facebook page at www.Facebook. com/LambSpringAP. Visit a castle near Morrison For those history lovers who yearn for a workout before their history lesson, there’s Castle Trail in Morrison’s Mount Falcon Park.

The 6.7-mile, nearly 2,000-foot elevation gain loop trail leads hikers to the castle ruins of one of Denver’s early settlers and one of the area’s interesting historical characters: John Brisben Walker.

In the park are both Walker’s stone mansion, destroyed by a fire, and the cornerstone of a never-completed home that Walker hoped would be a summer White House for the U.S. presidents.

Born in 1847, Walker ended up in Denver 32 years later after having served as a general in the Chinese army, running for Congress, winning and losing a fortune and managing two newspapers, according to Morrison Historical Society.

Once in Denver, he dabbled in agriculture and made himself a new fortune before going on to develop River Front Park, an amusement park that also held Denver’s first rodeo. He made a series of other purchases including Governor Evans’ “Swiss Cottage” in Morrison and all of what is now Red Rocks Park and Mount Falcon.

After a few years away from Colorado — during which time he bought the then-failing Cosmopolitan magazine, later sold it to William Randolph Hearst and also sponsored the first automobile race in the United States — Walker returned to Morrison in the early 20th century.

From there, Walker began working on developing the area, building a road into town, adding a tea house and constructing hiking trails.

He also built a railway to the top of Mount Morrison, making it the longest cog railway in the world at the time.

During this “period of enthusiasm” Walker also dreamed up the idea of a permanent summer home for U.S. presidents, according to the historical society. Construction began on top of Mount Falcon and the cornerstone was laid, but before it could be completed, the finances dried up and the project fizzled. Nearby, Walker built his home, a stone mansion that was destroyed by fire in 1918.

Walker, by then a widower with a son, moved to Brooklyn and then died in 1931. Today, the remains of his home and his dream of a summer White House remain for visitors to see in Mount Falcon Park.

Colorado gets first Latina state historian

BY KYLE COOKE ROCKY MOUNTAIN PBS

Colorado State Historian is a position that has been around for almost 100 years, dating back to 1924.

On Aug. 1 — also known as Colorado Day, celebrating the date when the state joined the Union — Nicki Gonzales will begin her one-year term as the official state historian.

Gonzales Nearly 22% of Coloradans are Hispanic or Latino, and despite the state historian position being around for nearly a century, Gonzales is the first Latino person to be named state historian.

Gonzales is a professor of history and vice provost for diversity and inclusion at Regis University.

A mother of two sons, Gonzales is based in Denver, but her family has “deep roots” in Southern Colorado

and northern New Mexico, according to History Colorado.

Gonzales also part of History Colorado’s State Historian’s Council, which the state historian leads.

“History is one of the most effective ways we can understand ourselves and our present moment,” Gonzales said in a statement. “I’d like to see more unrecognized stories shared publicly so we can arrive at a truer sense of where we’ve been and who we are.”

History Colorado said Gonzales is interested in researching Southern Colorado’s land grant movements as well as the experiences of Chicano Vietnam Veterans. She also served as an advisor for the History Colorado exhibit “El Movimiento: The Chicano Movement in Colorado.”

“Gonzales’ historical expertise focuses on Chicano history and Southwest social and political movements,” History Colorado wrote in a statement. “She plans to incorporate youth in the exploration of Colorado’s past during

‘I’d like to see more unrecognized stories shared publicly so we can arrive at a truer sense of where we’ve been and who we are.’

Nicki Gonzales, new Colorado State Historian, in a statement

her term as state historian, and to support more inclusive practices of historical inquiry.

“In doing so, Gonzales is eager to raise more awareness about historical events with significant contemporary legacies, such as the Sand Creek Massacre of 1864, about which History Colorado is currently collaborating with tribal partners to present a long-term exhibition,” the organization’s statement added.

Gonzales succeeds Duane Vandenbuscha professor of history at Western Colorado University in Gunnison, as the Colorado state historian.

APPLICATION FOR FINDING OF REASONABLE DILIGENCE, in ADAMS, CLEAR CREEK, DENVER AND JEFFERSON COUNTIES. 2.

Introduction: This is an application for a finding of reasonable diligence for the conditional portion of an appropriative right of exchange originally decreed on Clear Creek, South Clear Creek, Cabin Creek, and Leavenworth Creek in Division 1 Case No. 95CW157 (the “Fisher Ditch/Clear Creek Exchange” or the “Subject Water Right”). The 95CW157 decree authorized exchanges to seven different reservoirs. One of those reservoirs is Green Lake, which has its point of diversion on Leavenworth Creek. In the most recent diligence proceeding, Green Lake was removed as an “exchange-to” point for the Subject Water Right.

Therefore, the Subject Water Right now authorizes exchanges to six different reservoirs on Clear Creek, South Clear Creek, and Cabin Creek. 3.

Name of Structure and Conditional Water Right: Fisher Ditch/Clear Creek Exchange. 4. Description of Conditional Water Rights: 4.1. Description and Prior Decrees. The Fisher Ditch/Clear Creek Exchange was originally decreed on March 20, 1997 in Case No. 1995CW157. PSCo was found to have met the requirements of reasonable diligence and a portion was made absolute in Case No. 2003CW141 on November 23, 2008.

A subsequent decree was entered in Case No. 14CW3139 on July 29, 2015, finding that PSCo exercised reasonable diligence with respect to the remaining conditional portion of the Subject Water Right. The Subject Water Right is an exchange on Clear Creek and certain tributaries that extends from the Fisher Augmentation Station upstream to the South Clear Creek Reservoirs, which are described below. The sources of substitute water supply for the Subject Water Right are PSCo’s interests in the Fisher Ditch water right, which were changed from agricultural use to industrial uses, in Case Nos. 1991CW5 and 1995CW156. Under the Fisher Ditch/Clear Creek Exchange, PSCo’s pro rata interest in the Fisher Ditch water right is diverted and recorded at the Fisher Ditch headgate and is then measured and returned to Clear Creek through the Fisher Augmentation Station.

Simultaneous with such returns from the Fisher Augmentation Station, diversions that would otherwise be out-of-priority are made in amounts equal to the consumptive use portions of the Fisher Augmentation Station returns at one or more of the upstream South Clear Creek Reservoirs. The streams on which the exchange is made are Clear Creek and its tributaries, South Clear Creek, and Cabin Creek. 4.2. Description of Locations and Facilities Involved in Exchange: The facilities and their locations involved in the exchange are described below. The locations of the facilities are also shown on the maps attached as Figure 1 and Figure 2. 4.2.1.

Appropriation Date and Amount: 4.4.1. Date of Appropriation: July 31, 1995. 4.4.2. Amount: 12.50 cfs ABSOLUTE; 1.80 cfs CONDITIONAL (for a total of 14.30 cfs). 4.5. Decreed Uses of Water Diverted by Exchange: Water that is exchanged pursuant to the Subject Water Right is stored in one or more of PSCo’s South Clear Creek Reservoirs. Beneficial uses include replacement of evaporative depletions from the South Clear Creek Reservoirs; all industrial purposes associated with the generation of electrical energy at the Cherokee Station, including, without limitation, power generation, cooling, and evaporation replacement; and for the purpose of meeting return flow obligations required

by PSCo’s decrees in 1991CW5, 1995CW156, and 2002CW54, either by release from the South Clear Creek Reservoirs, or by discharge after use in the Cherokee Station. 5. Evidence of Reasonable Diligence Towards Completing Appropriation. 5.1. PSCo has diligently monitored stream conditions, exchange potential and priority calls on Clear Creek and South Clear Creek to allow it to operate the Subject Water Right on an ongoing basis. PSCo has operated the Subject Water Right on numerous occasions during the diligence period. 5.2. During the diligence period, PSCo obtained the necessary permits and approvals, and it started construction of an upgrade of its Cabin Creek Pumped Storage Hydroelectric Project from

blopez@coloradocommunitymedia.com

324MW to 360MW, which will increase the demand for water from the Lower Cabin Creek Reservoir.

The expansion also includes an enlargement of the Upper Creek Reservoir with resulting additional evaporative losses that Subject Water Right will help replace. Expenditures included approximately $70,000,000 to upgrade and refurbish the pump-turbine units of the Cabin Creek pumped storage hydroelectric project, and approximately $4,900,000 to raise the parapet wall of the Upper Cabin Creek Reservoir dam. 5.3. During the diligence period, PSCo reconstructed the Clear Lake Dam, at a cost of approximately $3,350,000.

Clear Lake will continue to serve as one of the “exchange-to” points for the Subject Water Right.

5.4. PSCo successfully obtained a decree in Division 1 Case No. 07CW318 for an additional water storage right in Clear Lake Reservoir on March 17, 2016, based on a larger active-storage capacity in Clear Lake Reservoir than had been previously estimated. This decree also imposes specific requirements for replacement of evaporation at Clear Lake. The Subject Water Right is one source of replacement for such evaporation. 5.5. During the diligence period, PSCo investgated options for the rehabilitation of the Silver Dollar Reservoir and Murray Reservoir structures, including the technical and economic feasibility of completing the work in compliance with United States Forest Sservice (“USFS”) land access restrictions. PSCo engaged in discussions with the USFS regarding permit requirements for upgrading the structures, surface access options through USFS lands and approval requirements. 5.6. During the diligence period, PSCo conducted several activities to improve and maintain those parts of its Clear Creek integrated water supply system associated with the Cherokee Station. These activities include the following: 5.6.1. PSCo expended approximately $43,000,000 to engineer and install equipment to transition the Cherokee Station to a zero liquid discharge facility, or discharge directly to the Metro Wastewater Reclamation District. 5.6.2. PSCo expended approximately $23,000,000 to upgrade one of the electricity generation turbine systems at the Cherokee Station. 5.6.3. PSCo coordinated with the Fisher Ditch Company to improve the ditch structure from the diversion point on Clear Creek to approximately Federal Boulevard. This improvement allows the Fisher Ditch to convey water more efficiently and at a higher rate through the improved portions. 5.6.4. PSCo, in coordination with the Fisher Ditch Company, has planned to improve Copeland Reservoir, which is used for the delivery of the Lower Cabin Creek Industrial Use Right, including shoring up the banks and maintaining the dam. 5.6.5. PSCo is a majority shareholder of the Fisher Ditch Company, which obtained a loan from the Colorado Water Conservation Board for the purposes of completing the ditch improvements described above that will improve the capacity and reliability of the Fisher Ditch. As a major shareholder of the Fisher Ditch Company, PSCo contributed substantially to the repayment obligations pursuant to this loan during the diligence period. 5.7. During the diligence period, PSCo participated as an objector in numerous Division 1 water court cases in order to protect its existing water rights on the South Platte River and its tributaries, including Clear Creek. Some of these cases have concluded, and others are ongoing. Some of the cases on Clear Creek in which PSCo has participated as an objector during the diligence period include Case Nos. 05CW112, 11CW237, 15CW3179, 16CW3186, 17CW3105, 17CW3177, 17CW3210, 18CW3007, 18CW3090, 18CW3159, 18CW3225, 19CW3037, 19CW3055, 21CW3020, and 21CW3038. 6. Names and Addresses of Owners of the Land Upon Which any New Diversion or Storage Structure, or Modification to any Existing Diversion or Storage Structure is or will be Constructed or upon Which Water is or will be Stored, Including any Modification to the existing Storage Pool. Clear Lake Dam and Upper and Lower Cabin Creek Reservoirs have been undergoing modifications. Clear Lake Dam is located on land owned by a subsidiary of Applicant, Public Service Company of Colorado. Upper and Lower Cabin Creek Reservoirs are located on land owned by the USFS. The address for the USFS Clear Creek Ranger District is P.O. Box 3307, Idaho Springs, CO 80452. WHEREFORE, PSCo requests that the Court enter a decree finding that PSCo has satisfied the statutory standard of steady application of effort to complete the appropriation in a reasonably expedient and efficient manner under all the facts and circumstances and that reasonable diligence was performed during the diligence period in development of the Subject Water Right, and that the conditional portion of the Subject Water Right should continue.

Structures used in the decreed exchanges include: The Agricultural Ditch; the Coors Industries Ditch; the Croke Canal; the Farmers’ High Line Canal; the Wannamaker Ditch, the Rocky Mountain Ditch; the Church Ditch; Golden Water Works; Lindstrom No. 2 Ditch and First Enlargement; Golden Diversion Dam and Pipeline; Golden Reservoir Nos. 1, 2, and 3 (a.k.a. Guanella Reservoir); the Upper Urad Reservoir; and the Lower Urad Reservoir. 2.2.

Conditional Exchange Rights. The named structures listed above are utilized in the exercise of one or more of the following appropriative rights of exchange decreed in Case No. 96CW1117 by the Division 1 Water Court on June 15, 1999, that remain in whole or in part conditional as of this date: 2.1.1. Coors/Farmers’ High Line Canal Exchange; 2.1.1. Coors/Croke-Standley Exchange; and 2.1.1.

Golden/Church Ditch Exchanges. 2.3. Bookover Exchange. The conditional right of exchange decreed in Case No. 96CW1117 for Thornton’s delivery of water known as the FRICO Bookover Exchange is not the subject of this Application. A portion of the FRICO Bookover Exchange was made absolute in Case No. 05CW159 and the remaining conditional portion of that exchange is the subject of a separate application that is now pending in Case No. 21CW3076, Water Division 1. 3. Description of Conditional Appropriative Rights of Exchange: The conditional water exchange rights for which findings of continued diligence are sought in this case were originally decreed by the Water Court in Case No. 96CW1117 with an appropriation date of April 2, 1987 (with the exception of Golden’s exchanges to the Urad reservoirs, which have an appropriation date of August 31, 1989). By the decree entered in Case No. 05CW154 dated November 30, 2007, and as summarized in Paragraph 3.3 below, certain of Golden’s exchange rights decreed in Case No. 96CW1117 were made fully absolute. By the decree entered in Case No. 13CW3142 dated July 7, 2015, an additional portion of the Coors/CrokeStandley Exchange was made absolute. In both Case Nos. 05CW154 and 13CW3142, the Court entered findings of continued diligence for all of the remaining conditional rights of exchange decreed to Coors and Golden. The water exchange rights that are the subject of this Application are more specifically described as follows: 3.1. Coors Exchanges: The exchanges decreed to Coors in Case No. 96CW1117 that are the subject of this Application are described as follows: 3.1.1.

Coors/Farmers’ High Line Canal (“FHLC”) Exchange: 3.1.1.1.

During the diligence period, Coors and its affiliated entities, including Molson Coors Beverage Company, MillerCoors LLC, and Rocky Mountain Water Company, have engaged in the following activities as part of the continued development of Coors’s integrated water system, of which the Coors/Farmers’ High Line Canal Exchange and the Coors/CrokeStandley Exchange, and several structures used for operation of these exchanges, are integral features. 4.1.2.1. This Court found, in paragraph 9.4 of the decree entered in Case No. 05CW154, that continued development and maintenance of Coors’s unified water system constitutes diligence for the individual water rights associated with that system. Other components of the unified water system include: the Straight Creek Tunnel Drainage and Effluent System (Case Nos.

Coors has continuously operated its integrated water system, including use of the structures and water rights associated with this Application, to support its commercial operations. During this diligence period, Coors has expended at least $2,800,000 for the development and maintenance of Coors’s unified water supply system. Coors has continued in the planning, design, and exploration of the physical and business problems associated with the construction and use of the diversion facilities and water rights involved. Specific activities and expenditures that Coors has undertaken include engineering relating to Coors’s water rights and water supply system; operation, maintenance, and improvements to ditch facilities supporting Coors’s unified water system; pump installation and replacement, operation, maintenance, and repairs to Coors’s underground springs; and other capital projects in support of Coors’s unified water system.

4.1.2.3. Coors has also been engaged in the legal development, defense, and protection of said water rights by participating in a number of water cases adjudicating matters required for the production of water used in Coors’s integrated water system, including Case No. 15CW3179 (application and related appeal to amend Coors’s Augmentation Plans); Case No. 17CW3177 (change of Miles and Eskins Ditch for Coors’s Augmentation Plan IV, with appropriative right of exchange); Case No. 18CW3225 (Jefferson Storage System storage realignment); Case Nos. 19CW3055, 20CW3087, and 21CW3076 (diligence on exchanges relating to the Cosmic Agreement); Case No. 20CW3028 (diligence on Coors’s Augmentation Plan II exchanges); Case No. 20CW3137 (diligence on Coors’s Augmentation Plan III Exchanges); Case No. 19CW3037 (diligence on Coors’s Jefferson Storage System); Case No. 20CW2060 (diligence on Coors’s Underground Springs); and Case No. 21CW3020 (diligence on Coors’s Idaho Springs Reservoir Exchange), all of which water rights are part of Coors’s integrated water system. Coors has also filed statements of opposition to a number of water court applications to prevent injury to Coors’s water rights, including those that are the subject of this Application. During the diligence period, Coors expended approximately $1,300,000 in legal expenses in pursuing these applications and filing statements of opposition to continue and protect the integrated system water rights. 4.1.2.4. During the diligence period, Coors has also made substantial refinements to its accounting for its Augmentation Plans and exchanges decreed in the above described cases, in coordination with the Division Engineer’s Office. Coors believes that its revised accounting will improve the basis for its operations pursuant to the Decree in Case No. 96CW1117, including the exchange at issue in this application. 4.2. Golden Diligence Activities. During the diligence period, Golden has undertaken the activities described in this paragraph 4.2 that demonstrate ongoing diligence in perfecting the remaining conditional exchange rights. 4.2.1.

Diligence Activities Directly Related to 96CW1117 Exchanges.

Expenditure of approximately $3.5 million on other water supply infrastructure improvements and maintenance, including ongoing utility replacement expenses.

4.2.2.4. In Case No. 17CW3070, in the District Court in and for Water Division 1, State of Colorado, decreed on May 28, 2018, Guanella Reservoir was made fully absolute for its full as-built capacity of 2,325 acre-feet for its original fill and its associated refill right. 4.2.2.5.
