Voters choose experience for Englewood council Ward, Woodward win; Wink, Nunnenkamp unopposed BY SHANNA MAXCY SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA
Englewood voters leaned toward experience in the election that ended Nov. 2, choosing Steve Ward and Jim Woodward in the two contested races for Englewood City Council. Ward has served on council atlarge since being appointed earlier this year and Woodward previously served on council from 2004 to 2013. Woodward served as mayor from 2007 to 2011. Councilmember Cheryl Wink ran unopposed for re-election to her at-large seat. First-time candidate Chelsea Nunnenkamp, a deputy political director at a political reform organization, ran unopposed in District 2 in northeastern Englewood.

member she will address why so many students, around 30%, choose to transfer from Englewood to another district. Tucker is director of strategic procurement at the University of Colorado and previously served on the board. His second-place position will secure a board seat. Tucker said a crucial issue for him is to address students and staff who cannot live in Englewood and find ways to support them.
An effort to economically boost Englewood’s CityCenter, its traditional Broadway downtown and its cluster of hospitals and medical facilities took a step toward getting fully underway when voters in this year’s election agreed to let a government development agency take on debt of up to $70 million. In the 2020 election, property owners, downtown residents and business owners approved the creation of the Englewood Downtown Development Authority (EDDA), a body that will attempt to attract more economic activity to the district. But voters in that election turned down some of the tax and debt ballot questions that would have funded the body. But in In this year’s election, voters approved Ballot Issue 6D, authorizing the downtown development authority to incur debt of up to $70 million over a 30-year period. Only residents, property owners and business owners in the downtown area could vote on the measure. In unofficial results as of Nov. 5, 68 had voted in favor, with 45 voting against.

Englewood voters decided the makeup of the Englewood Schools Board of Education in the election that ended Nov. 2. Voters were asked to select three of four candidates who
were running for four-year positions, with the three top vote-getters winning seats. Caty Husbands, who has been serving as the school board’s president, was unopposed in seeking a two-year seat. In unofficial returns as of Nov. 5, Julie Hoag, a parttime nurse at Swedish Medical Center, was leading the field for four-year seats with 32.4% of the vote, about 8-1/2 percentage points ahead of Duane Tucker, in second place with 23.9% of the total. Hoag said that as a board

on city council, Ward, who will represent District 4, said he would like to see the city continue the ongoing work on aging infrastructure, particularly for water, stormwater and sewer. “We’ve also taken great strides toward building a sense of community in Englewood,” Ward said, “and I’m proud of what we are doing to bring community members together with events like the summer concert series, the Fourth of July event, the various food truck park events and the annual block party.” Other things on his priority list include discussing how to grant access to the city’s public right of way, taking a look at the city’s budget and the plans for city hall. “One area of concern for me is Englewood’s vulnerability to economic downturn,” Ward said. “We can mitigate the damage of an economic downturn by thoughtfully growing and then leveraging our city’s reserves. Although it is vastly better than nothing, I am not completely satisfied with the city’s current reserve policy.” In unofficial returns updated Nov. 5, Ward was leading by about 15 percentage points in his race against political newcomer Belinda Porter. CodeNext made the priorities list for both Ward and Woodward. CodeNext is a policy aimed at ensuring that Englewood’s Unified Development Code, core policy documents and land use regulations are congruent with the community’s goals and values for a sustainable city. “This is one item that has the ability to significantly affect Englewood’s future,” Ward said. “Development is a hot issue in the Denver metro area, and Englewood needs to find a balance between demand for new housing stock and the preservation
of existing neighborhood aesthetics. I’m convinced that there is a balance to be found, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to work on that.” Woodward, who was elected to a two-year at-large seat, said his immediate top priorities returning to council will be to get a better sense of what is going on with the Public Works Department, where he says many things that used to be done by city staff are now being contracted out to the private sector. “I understand that there may be cost savings, but I question the quality of the work and over the long term whether this is wise,” Woodward said. “I want to keep fully informed (and keep the citizens informed) on the progress of the piping and capital improvements planned to provide our city with better tasting and softer water. This is a major complaint of residents and in meeting with our Director of Utilities I believe there is a good plan in place to accomplish this overdue task.” When it comes to budget concerns, Woodward said maintaining responsible annual and long-term budgets and adequate reserves is also a major priority for his term in office. Woodward defeated political newcomer Mary Colecchi by a ratio of nearly 2-1. The next Englewood City Council meeting is scheduled for 6 p.m. Nov. 15, when winning candidates will be sworn in. Meanwhile, voters who live within the boundary of the Englewood Downtown Development Authority passed Ballot Issue 6D by a wide margin. The measure allows the authority to raise its debt limit to $70 million over a 30-year period to fund projects in the downtown area, such as improvements in pedestrian access, parking and bike lanes.

Report details pandemic’s impact on metro-Denver arts
ARAPAHOE COUNTY
BY KYLE COOKE ROCKY MOUNTAIN PBS
The nonprofit Colorado Business Committee for the Arts (CBCA) has released a study detailing the COVID-19 pandemic’s impact on art and cultural institutions and many of the findings paint a bleak image. The data for the study were selfreported by close to 300 arts, culture and science organizations that receive funding from the Scientific and Cultural Facilities District (SCFD). The CBCA study, released Nov. 4, concluded that the Denver area’s arts sector “lost a decade of growth in 2020.” “Arts, culture and scientific organizations are the backbone of a vibrant, resilient and inclusive society. CBCA’s 2021 Economic Activity Study of Metro Denver Culture illustrates years of record-breaking cultural growth, which hit an alltime high in 2019, and conversely in 2020, how a community responds to drastic and disruptive circumstances,” CBCA’s executive director Christin Crampton Day said in a news release. 2019 was a banner year for the arts, with $2.3 billion in economic activity (defined by the CBCA as “direct and indirect spending from operations, audiences and capital projects”). That figure is an all-time high. But. of course, the COVID-19 pandemic was right around the corner in 2020, and with the combination of the deadly virus and pandemicrelated closures of places like museums and concert venues, economic activity decreased by 34% compared to 2019. The CBCA said the economic activity in 2020 was comparable to the levels of the Great Recession in 2008. Not surprisingly, attendance to arts events was nearly halved. Job loss was another problem. In 2019, the cultural sector had a record number of full-time, parttime and contract workers at 13,392 according to the CBCA’s study. “If the entire cultural nonprofit sector was one single employer in 2019, it would have been the largest private employer in the metro region,” the CBCA wrote. But in 2020, the number of workers plummeted nearly 30%, down to just 9,688. That summer, Rocky Mountain PBS spoke with three different workers in Colorado’s entertain-

ment industry, including Philip Hiester. A stagehand who works at places like Boettcher Concert Hall, Hiester had to file for unemployment benefits for the first time in his decades-long career during the pandemic. The hardest part for Hiester during the pandemic was the uncertainty of when steady work would return. Some of that anxiety was eased in 2021 when indoor performances returned to the Colorado Symphony, but rising COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations in Colorado are proof that the pandemic is not very close to being over. There were, however, some success stories. The Denver-based dance company Wonderbound, for example, was able to keep all its dancers on payroll despite performance cancellations. And the Denver Art Museum, meanwhile, was able to open its renovated campus earlier this year. After the renovations, the museum added 65 full-time jobs. The lone bright spot in the CBCA study was in donations and government support for the arts sector. It was the only key metric in the study that increased between 2019 to 2020. In 2019, the organizations surveyed received $38 million in individual donations and $25 million in government funding. In 2020, individual donations jumped to $43 million and government funding increased to $41 million. “These sources helped to cover major losses in earned revenue and corporate event sponsorships as a result of the pandemic,” the CBCA wrote.

Election misinformation reaches Arapahoe clerk’s office Emails, calls reference voting situation in Mesa County BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
In the months leading up to the election that ended Nov. 2, the Arapahoe County office that oversees elections received messages about dubious claims playing out at the state level about election security — lingering echoes of the stillunproven claims about wrongdoing in the 2020 presidential election. A letter defending an embattled elections official — Mesa County Clerk and Recorder Tina Peters — was sent to several Colorado county clerks, news outlet Colorado Newsline reported. The letter was dated Aug. 27. The typed section of the letter discusses Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold’s investigation into an election-system security breach involving Peters, Colorado Newsline reported. The Arapahoe County Clerk and Recorder’s Office received a copy of that letter, addressed to Clerk and Recorder Joan Lopez, with the return address blacked out, a spokesperson for the clerk told Colorado Community Media. “We have also received several emails incorporating a similar theme — defending Tina Peters as a ‘hero,’ accusing Secretary of State Griswold of overstepping her authority, alleging that voter fraud is rampant” and so on, the spokesperson told CCM via email. “Many of those emails were obviously copied and pasted from one original source just as this letter was.” Neither Lopez nor the office’s staff have received any direct threats of violence, the spokesperson said. “We have, however, seen references to a coming ‘Civil War,’ mentions of `treason (being) punishable by Death’ and demands for a ‘forensic’ audit of ballots,” the spokesperson said. Peters had made claims about election records being destroyed during what’s called a “trusted build,” according to a Sept. 23 news release from the Colorado Secretary
of State’s Office. A trusted build is a routine upgrade to voting systems, the secretary of state’s office told the Grand Junction Daily Sentinel. w Peters says she commissioned a o report that alleges that nearly 29,000 r election files were deleted during a routine upgrade of Mesa County’s c election equipment in May, the Sen- h C tinel reported. Those files, however, were com- s mon log files that were part of the u computer’s operating system, and C t not actual election files, state officials said, according to the Senti- t i nel’s report. Griswold, the secretary of state, filed an opening brief in a lawsuit to remove Peters as the designated election official in Mesa County, according to the Sept. 23 news release. “The Secretary would have no objection to a county backing up its log files for its voting systems — in fact, Larimer County requested to back up their log files prior to a trusted build, and the Department of State helped Larimer County perform such a backup,” the brief says, according to the release. “Instead, Peters made copies of the entire hard drive, exposing the security of the entire election system when those copies were posted on the Internet.” Later, a judge in Mesa County ruled in favor of removing Peters as the designated election official and granted the secretary of state’s request that Wayne Williams be appointed as the designated election official for Mesa County, according to an Oct. 13 news release from the secretary of state’s office. Williams is a former Colorado Secretary of State who served as a Republican. Griswold, a Democrat, defeated Williams in the 2018 election. Believers in QAnon conspiracy theories turned their attention to the report that Peters says she commissioned about copies of hard drives as proof the 2020 election was stolen, the Sentinel reported Sept. 26. The report that Mesa County’s Peters says she commissioned was written by a member of MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell’s so-called cyber investigation team, Doug Gould, and SEE CLERK, P5

Arapahoe voters show big support for outdoor funds Ballot Issue 1A extends existing tax STAFF REPORT
By a better than 3-1 ratio in unofficial election returns, Arapahoe County voters favored continuing to fund the county’s open spaces, trails and parks with the extension of a 0.25-cent sales and use tax that is already in place. As of late Nov. 5, the yes vote on countywide Ballot Issue 1A was leading by 76.7% to 23.3%. The Open Space and Trails program was authorized by voters in 2003 and has since supported construction or renovation of 160 parks, trailheads and heritage-area

was being shared on conspiracy-theory social media sites, the Sentinel reported. Regarding the letter received by county clerks in Colorado, Arapahoe County’s Lopez told Colorado Community Media through her spokesperson: “It is extremely unfortunate that county clerks (in) Colorado are being harassed and threatened based on allegations that are untruthful, unproven and, in many cases, maliciously spread

projects. It has also helped to conserve 31,000 acres of open spaces. With municipal partners, 70 miles of trails have been completed, as have improvements to trails including the Mary Carter Greenway, the High Line Canal and the Cherry Creek Trail. So far, $257 million has been awarded from this tax to municipalities and special districts through grants and joint projects. Proceeds from the tax can be used to conserve lands that protect water quality in rivers, lakes and streams; protect and maintain natural areas, wildlife habitats and open space; and maintain and improve neighborhood parks and trails. Funds also help to maintain and preserve historic sites; preserve working farms and ranches;
and provide more active recreation opportunities. Those in support of Issue 1A said it can help preserve open spaces, trails, parks, heritage center and streams for future generations. In the ballot guide sent to county voters, opponents of the measure said that if the measure passed, the tax “will no longer have to be approved or authorized by the voters. ... It will never expire.” They also complained that the county’s openspace program has a $43 million unspent fund balance, “so why do they need more?” Issue 1A extends this tax beyond its current expiration date until repealed as a voter-approved revenue change — something that those opposed to the measure call out as a red flag.
Rejection would have meant the current tax would expire in 2023. In a statement Nov. 2, Arapahoe County officials said they “would like to express our deepest thanks to voters for approving Ballot Issue 1A in the 2021 Coordinated Election. By agreeing to extend the Open Space Sales and Use Tax, County voters have ensured that we and our community partners will be able to continue improving and enhancing our many outdoor recreational and educational assets, programs, and services well into the future. This small tax has already contributed mightily to these efforts, and the county will use these funds in the most effective and responsible ways possible as we execute our vision for these operations.”
to sow mistrust in our elections process. “It is especially frustrating because we know our voting systems and our completely bipartisan elections processes have performed flawlessly, election after election, and we have no doubt whatsoever in the integrity of the equipment or procedures,” Lopez said in the statement. “It is important to mention that every county in the state already performs a post-election audit of ballots after every statewide election, and the results are publicly available,” Lopez continued. Regarding the references to a com-
ing “Civil War,” mentions of treason and demands for an audit of ballots, the clerk’s office said “both of those emails” were received in August. “We started receiving more of these type of email — with a more aggressive tone — in the time leading up to the SOS Office’s trusted build of county election systems statewide” around June, the spokesperson said. The Arapahoe clerk’s office also recently received an email that was sent to all Colorado county clerks — from one person in Aspen and another in Colorado Springs — that contained misinformation about Dominion Voting Systems, accord-
ing to the clerk’s office on Nov. 1. “We have received some miscellaneous calls wherein people mention Tina Peters, referring us to law enforcement” and so on, the spokesperson said. The clerk’s office pointed the public to its “Election Transparency” portal. That section of the clerk’s website includes information, data and videos on topics including pre-election testing, post-election audits, bipartisan certification of results and Colorado’s mail ballot voting system. The office added the page to its website last year. It’s located at arapahoevotes.com/ transparency.

Voters skip hot issues in Littleton school board election Nearby districts faced tense contests over controversial social, politicial battles BY ROBERT TANN RTANN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
As school boards become new battlegrounds for the country’s bitterly divided electorate, voters in the Littleton Public Schools Board of Education election rejected hotbutton issues, electing candidates steeped in public education experience. The race itself proved to be an outlier among other board races in districts across the Denver metro area, such as Douglas County and Cherry Creek, that saw tensions rise between candidates over mask-wearing policies. Candidates for LPS school board largely stayed above the fray, unanimously agreeing that masking policies had to be followed. One candidate, however, staked much of his campaign on his opposition to critical race theory, another divisive flashpoint that has swept across school districts. Dale Elliott, an Air Force veteran, came in last in the race, signaling most voters’ lack of desire to engage in the issue. Instead, voters’ top two picks for

board seats were a board incumbent and a community college educator. Angela Christensen, who was appointed to finish a term on the board last year, topped the other four candidates with 26.2% of the vote in unofficial results as of Nov. 5. Christensen has volunteered more than 8,500 hours for LPS and has served on several educational committees. “I feel like it was evident that our district values experience,” Christensen said in an interview with Colorado Community Media. “It felt good that what I thought was true was actually true.” In second place was Joan Anderssen, a current faculty member at Arapahoe Community College, who secured 22.7% of the vote. Anderssen said she is excited to get to work on projects that will fundamentally improve students’ learning experience.

Two key campaign pledges for her were bolstering the recently unveiled Career Exploration Center to hone students’ trade skills for employment following high school, as well as shoring up concurrent enrollment, in which students simultaneously earn high school and college credits. “I think we’re going to have a strong board,” Anderssen said. The third and final seat was won by Andrew Graham, president and CEO of a healthcare consulting firm, with 19.8% of the vote as of Nov. 5. Graham focused on mental health during his campaign and said the district needed more resources and open discussions about the everpresent crisis amongst students, faculty and staff. “(Students are) still going through a very rough social time,” Graham said. “Mental health is at the center of coming back together.” Jon Lisec, a software engineer, fell short of the votes needed to win a seat on the board, coming in fourth with 17.1% of the vote. Elliot, the Air Force veteran, finished last with 14.2% of the vote. Along with critical race theory, Elliott had made several comments during an Oct. 6 forum that veered into controversy. On equity, Elliott was the only candidate to explicitly say he opposed tailoring students’ education to meet their needs, saying it was “hard to achieve” and that “in our country today we’re trying to force that.” He also said he thinks Planned Parenthood “kills kids,” eliciting several gasps from audience members.

“kept politics out of the board” during the race. “We have something really special in LPS that some of our larger neighboring districts have lost,” she said. “We’ve preserved the integrity of the education of the board of LPS.” Graham, the health care consultant, said he still welcomes a diverse set of views from board members and the community but that everyone needs to strive to work together. “At the end of the day we are a pretty cohesive, looking out for ourselves group,” he said. “I’m proud of us.” By avoiding much of the furor that has turned other school races into political spectacles, candidates said they were able to focus more on the pressing issues facing LPS. Funding remains a challenge for the district, which has been forced to close several schools in the recent few years over budgetary restrictions. Christensen said the failure of statewide propositions 119 and 120, which some opponents feared would have diverted state money for education, is a win for public education funding. She now hopes that state lawmakers will be ready to work with districts like LPS to find sustainable funding solutions as opposed to continuing “putting on Band-Aids,” Christensen said. “We have to remain optimistic,” she said. “There’s still a lot of work to do.” Despite the challenges, Graham said LPS is not a “broken school district” and has vowed to work with board members to “Keep us at a level of excellence that we’ve become very used to.” “I like this new board. This looks like a very collaborative group,” he said.

When you die your pets will eat you — if they can. “If it’s been a few days, they’re hungry and thirsty and you’re not there to feed them. It’s not considered aggressive — they’re just trying to survive — it’s an animal instinct,” Arapahoe County Autopsy Technician Ashley Huerta told a hushed crowd in Thornton. Colleague Arely Juarez-Dominquez, a death investigator for the office, said it’s a sad truth. “I use transparency to tell the families about a pet that has munched on their owners,” Juarez-Dominquez said. “Sometimes we respond to scenes where both owner and pet passed away.” Anythink Library, serving Adams County, brought the two crime scene experts in on Oct. 28 to explain how death scenes are investigated. More than 30 people attended their presentation. Huerta has been an autopsy technician for about four years and started as a death investigator for about a year in a half. Her job is assisting the pathologist with exams, gathering specimens for examination, cutting and closing, removing contents of body organs and weighing and collecting toxicology samples. Juarez-Dominquez has been medical-legal death Investigator for two years. Juarez-Dominquez’s job is to go to the scene to conduct the death investigation, pronounce the death, and cause of death. She also interviews families for medical histories, performs external examinations of decease and photographs the death scenes and also the deceased. “When going out to the scene it could be an overdose, suicide, or natural death,” said JuarezDominquez. “Every time we do an investigation, we start at the highest level of homicide — assume the worst.” Processing the scene A death is reported by law enforcement, paramedics, and fire department, to respond to an unattended death. The death investigator arrives at the location and examines the body. Manners of death are classified as a natural accident, suicide, homicide or undetermined. The cause of death classification can depend on underlying conditions, disease or some event. Hospitals can have their own rules, she said. If a patient dies after having beein in the hospital for more than 24 hours and it’s considered a natural death, it’s considered non-reportable and is usually not called into the coroner’s office. “Some hospitals have rules to call us regardless so we take the information. We don’t sign a death certificate if the deceased has been in the hospital long enough for them to know what happened

and they feel comfortable sending a death certificate, “said Huerta. “If the case is suspicious, we will take jurisdiction and our doctors will do the autopsy when it’s a possible medical misadventure.” Finding out who the dead body was is one of the most important jobs and there are several things they can do to positively identify them. Medical implants, for instance usually have registration numbers on them. “If it’s a badly decomposed body, we can identify someone by their implants, a hip, knee, or something in the spine,” Huerta said. A person can also be identified by tattoos, dental records, DNA, p fingerprints. And of course, inves- h tigators can identify somebody by m their driver’s license — if it’s on t them or in a secured location. n Some law enforcement agencies T scan fingerprints on the scene. If a w body is badly decomposed, and the s fingers are dried they use rubbery t silly putty to pull a fingerprint. “We rarely have to do DNA but if s we do we go through the Colorado d c Bureau of Investigation,” said i Huerta. m i Death certificates t Once a coroner or medical examiner examines the body in the office, they can sign the death h certificate. A primary physician t can also sign a death certificate if t a patient is in their care and there is no oblivious trauma or medica- s tions. If a family chooses to send a r body to a funeral home, it becomes that home’s job to sign the death t certificate. N “They electronically send us documentation to release the body to the funeral home,” said Huerta. a “The death record is sent to us, we j review it and write in our infory mation of cause or manner of a death. p Next, the pair discussed how they figure out how a person died. t s If there are no witnesses, a pathologist can estimate the cause of T death and time of death, based on r a different factors. “We can’t tell you exactly when i they died but we can give you a y ballpark,” said Huerta.

plete decomposition takes about 24 hours. The body starts with algor mortis, when the body temperature drops. Rigor mortis comes next as the muscles start to stiffen. That’s followed by livor mortis, when the lack of blood circulation starts to become evident, giving the skin a marbled look. The calendar also has an impact since the decomposition rate is different in a dry summer climate compared to a cold winter. Bodies have been found nearly mummified in hot, dry weather while it can be bloated during wetter times. If the body is found in a river it has a waxy coating, and it’s hard to determine how long it has been there due to rocks and critters. “It’s all temperature-dependent sometimes we don’t find skeletal remains,” said Juarez-Dominquez. “Rivers that are cold, preserve the body better,” said Huerta Not like TV There are myths about when an autopsy is being done that a body just sits up. “When you come into our office you are dead,” Huerta laughed, in answer to a question. “Paramedics put EKGs on a body to make sure there is no activity before that person is brought in to the coroner. The rigor mortis has already been released, so when the body arrives at the coroner or mortician there is no sitting up,” said Huerta. Huerta said the odor does follow you home. “That’s when you know you’re in trouble, if you can’t smell it anymore,” she said humorously. “I go straight to the laundry room to take my clothes off and it sticks to

Sheridan school district will pay its board members Money seen as incentive to run for the board BY YESENIA ROBLES CHALKBEAT COLORADO
The school board in Sheridan has voted to allow compensation for board members, becoming one of the first in Colorado to do so. The five-member Sheridan board voted unanimously Nov. 1 to allow its members to get paid $150 for a full day of board work — such as attending board conferences or retreats — or $75 for a half day of work for other board assignments. No public members showed up to comment. “It’s to give people an incentive to run for the board,” said Sally Daigle, Sheridan board president, or to offer an incentive to attend board member training outside the district. “I learn so much. There are people out there that wouldn’t have the option to take the time off or have a whole lot of time off built up.” Board member Maria Delgado, who is a full-time college student working part time, said she would benefit from compensation for days she skipped her job for board duties. “I didn’t realize how much work
goes into it. It’s a lot to take on,” Delgado said of becoming a school board member. “It’s hard sometimes to make the time.” Board members said they did not intend for members to be paid for regular board meetings, and were more concerned about board work that interfered with their paying jobs. Board members will have the option to not get paid for their work. Colorado this year enabled districts to pay school board members if a board majority approved a resolution allowing it. Several school boards have discussed the issue, but have not yet approved a proposal. In Aurora, school board members were interested in allowing board pay to encourage more diverse candidates to join the board. But after setting a special meeting and not receiving any public feedback in favor or against, the board decided to postpone any vote on a proposal. Denver’s school board has also discussed the idea, but has not scheduled a vote. The Adams 14 school board discussed the idea recently, but board members didn’t agree on the pay issue. Some expressed interest in more creative structures such as allowing reimbursement for board members who need child care to

attend meetings. That issue has come up for previous board members. The Sheridan district has notoriously struggled with finding candidates for its school board. The district has done away with term limits. Despite that, one seat remained open for years. The district canceled this year’s election because the three board members whose seats are up for grabs had no opponents. The district serves about 1,200 students, of which more than 80% qualify for subsidized lunch, a measure of poverty. The district has also had one of the highest percentages of students lacking permanent housing.
The Colorado law allowing board pay prohibits board members who vote to approve a pay proposal to benefit from it during their current term. Three board members, Daniel Stange, Maria Delgado, and Sally Daigle, became eligible to receive pay after the Nov. 2 election when their new terms begin. Board members Juanita Chacon and Karla Najera will be eligible to receive pay after the 2023 elections.

VOICES
Time to press the energy button
e are all familiar with the image of the “Easy Button,” as we have seen it in commercials, in stores, and in advertisements. Many people WINNING use is as a funny response to a text WORDS or on social media as a GIF or meme. It’s a fantastically simple yet powerful marketing play, and the benefit clearly articulated. It’s easy, and we all want easy. Lately many of Michael Norton the messages I receive are around energy, or more accurately stated, a lack of energy. People are tired, even exhausted, and I get that. The reasons that many of you provided for feeling a bit lethargic were very similar. Everything from stress, worry, doing work that is not motivating, overworked, feeling unappreciated, and just everything going on in the world. Robin M. asked me this, “Like the `Easy Button’ isn’t there some kind of an `Energy
Button’ that I can just press?” Before responding I did what anyone of us might do when looking for an answer, I Googled it. And like many of the emails that I received, I found the same lists of ideas to become rejuvenated such as mid-day workouts, stepping away from the current task, hydrating, breathing, and other good ideas. And here is what I would add: Step one is to know what energizes us and what sucks the life out of us. It’s not the same for everyone. We are all motivated and inspired by different things. And we all have different activities that we find draining. The guidance here in step one is avoidance. If the news is dragging you down, turn it off and stop checking it on your phone 24/7. Some might say they need to stay aware of all that is happening. Trust me on this one, turn it off, unplug, and if something so big happens in the world that you need to know about, someone will tell you, I promise. Step two is to try and identify the loss of energy as quickly as pos-
sible. Think of it this way, like the battery on our cell phone or laptop. It seems like are battery remains full for a long time, but once it starts running down, it runs down quickly. And the lower the battery gets, the faster it runs out. It seems like the gas tank in our car is the same way, doesn’t it? That needle points to full for a long time, but once it starts moving, it’s a fast trip from Full to Empty. The trick is to stay ahead of the depletion. Identify the early symptoms and take preventive measures before our personal batteries die or our fuel tanks become dry. Step one, knowing what sucks the energy from us and avoid those things. Step two is to make a quick diagnosis and stay ahead of the energy loss. This is kind of like taking pain medication after surgery or over the counter headache medicine when we first feel the symptoms coming on, getting ahead of it, and staying ahead of it is so much easier. Step three is having whatever it is that reenergizes us readily available. Coffee, water, mid-day
workouts don’t do it for me. However, my Bible does. I have a Bible app on my phone and a physical Bible with me most of the time. I also love a funny joke or powerful inspiring quote like this one by Zig Ziglar, “People often say that motivation doesn’t last. Well, neither does bathing. That’s why we recommend it daily.” If your reenergizer is a walk, a talk with a good friend, a picture of your family, or just some quiet time, then make sure you know how to access those when the energy starts getting low. Are you struggling staying energized? Is it impacting your ability to work and focus or enjoy quality time with your friends and family? I would love to hear your story at mnorton@tramazing.com, and when we know where to find our “Energy Button” and how and when to press it, this really will be a better than good year.

Developmentally disabled students are in schools, but so is segregation
T
here is a sentiment that I believe we can all agree on: Children and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities should be included in all GUEST aspects of society. It’s simple. It’s diCOLUMN rect. And, frankly, it’s hard to argue with. The Arc, all 15 Arc chapters here in Colorado, and Arc Thrift Stores live and breathe this sentiment every day. It applies Lloyd Lewis to how we serve, how we employ, how we engage with our partners, and how we believe business should be run. It also applies to education. And, now that a new school year is underway, education is on my mind. The U.S. has a long and conflicted history with its approach to segregated vs. inclusive education for children with intellectual and developmental disabilities. For most of our history, chil-

dren with these disabilities have been completely excluded from the public education system and placed in special education programs or entirely separate schools. It wasn’t until 1975 — not even 50 years ago — that the Education for All Handicapped Children Act was passed. The act opened schoolhouse doors and mandated free and appropriate public education for children with disabilities, and the provision of special education and related services designed to meet their unique needs and prepare them for further education, employment, and independent living. But it wasn’t enough. Then, in 1990, the act was modified and became the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act. The new act went further than its predecessor, with the goal being “to provide children with disabilities the same opportunity for education as those students who do not have a disability” and required that public schools create an Individualized Education
Program “for each student who is found to be eligible under both the federal and state eligibility/ disability standards.” Better. But still it wasn’t, and isn’t, enough. The fact is that the specifics of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act have remained essentially unchanged for more than three decades. Segregation of children with intellectual and developmental disabilities in the classroom remains a major issue in our country, and in Colorado. Most children with these disabilities in our state are taught in segregated classrooms. We must continue the fight that started back in the 1960s and ‘70s and move beyond what are essentially merely modest accommodations to true and holistic inclusion and complete integration. UNICEF’s State of the World’s Children gives us this description of true inclusive education: An education system that includes all students, and welcomes and supports them to learn, whoever they are and whatever

their abilities or requirements. This means making sure that teaching and the curriculum, school buildings, classrooms, play areas, transport and toilets are appropriate for all children at all levels. Inclusive education means all children learn together in the same schools. No one should be excluded. Perhaps that is a tall order, but it was one we must fulfill. I have a 17-year-old son with Down syndrome who is now being taught in many mainstream classrooms in a highly regarded public school. He has benefited greatly from the kind teachers, the supportive staff, and the educational provisions afforded him through his IEP. His schools, in turn, benefitted from him, from his presence and his unique contributions. Here are the facts: • With lesson modifications, kids with intellectual and developmental disabilities benefit greatly from being in an integrated and inclusive classroom.

DOWNTOWN FROM PAGE 1
Voters’ approval of the measure will allow the downtown authority to enter into long-term financial obligations, including contracts on projects that take more than one year to complete, said Dan Poremba, Englewood’s chief redevelopment officer. In general, projects that the downtown authority could take on include plaza improvements along South Broadway downtown, bicycle lanes on what locals call Old Hampden Avenue, and residential or commercial development in the area adjacent to Santa Fe Drive on the east side at Floyd Avenue, among other items, according to the city’s website. The district — the area the downtown authority would work to revitalize — includes the following areas: • The Englewood CityCenter shopping development, roughly from Santa Fe Drive to Elati Street. • The South Broadway area between Elati and Sherman streets. • The city’s medical district, between Sherman and Lafayette streets. The district’s north-south length varies, but it stretches as far as Kenyon Avenue in the southwest and Eastman Avenue on the north. City officials hope the development authority will help fill vacant storefronts along the downtown Broadway corridor; pursue a hotel for business visitors, hospital patrons and community members in CityCenter; and add residential density to underused sites near Englewood’s light rail station. They also hope it will push for attainable housing and attract office employers to bring more daytime workers downtown to support local merchants and restaurants. Here’s a look at what the downtown authority has done so far, what it plans to do and how the new voterapproved funding plays into that. Some financing already approved Other projects the authority may carry out include a “street tree” program on Broadway, a mid-block pedestrian crossing between Floyd and Eastman avenues on Broadway, a parking structure east of Broadway near Old Hampden, and improvements to the greenway along Little Dry Creek, according to the city’s website.

• They can learn and thrive in mainstream classrooms. • They can contribute to their mainstream peers when integrated into the classroom. And that is the point. Every child has contributions to make — in the classroom and out. Why would we want to deny ourselves of those contributions — whether they come from a child without these disabilities or someone with them? From a practical standpoint, inclusion and integration in our schools means we must invest in training our teachers so they can understand and adapt to different learning styles, and it means we need to respond to diversity with a zero-rejection policy, which,
Voters’ approval of measure 6D essentially “pre-approves” the downtown authority to use debt to finance large projects and improvements, said Hilarie Portell, executive director of the authority. The downtown authority already had the ability to use a tool called “tax-increment financing.” That’s a term for collecting higher levels of tax revenue spurred by added economic activity that the downtown authority’s actions would drive, in theory. The tax-increment method doesn’t involve a new tax or raising tax rates. For example, if a new building is constructed in the district next year or sales-tax revenue increases, the added tax revenue would go to the development authority to be reinvested within the district. Ballot issue B in 2020 authorized the development authority’s collection of tax-increment financing, according to the city website. It was approved by just one vote — 77 in favor to 76 against, according to election results last year. Property tax ask not likely to return One measure voters were asked for last year was a tax that would have been added to property tax currently assessed on properties in the downtown district. That tax measure — ballot issue D — failed with 92 “no” votes to 67 “yes” votes. At this point, there are no plans to ask the voters in the downtown district to approve a “minor mill levy” to support the downtown authority’s operations, Poremba said, using a term for a tax. “At this time, it is anticipated that a portion of the tax-increment revenues previously authorized by city council — unanimously — will be adequate to support EDDA operations,” Poremba said. “These revenues are anticipated to flow through to the EDDA beginning in 2022.” In some cases, tax-increment funding may be considered to help support developments such as needed infrastructure improvements, Poremba said. Another measure last year proposing to increase the city’s debt with a maximum repayment cost of $216.5 million was defeated with 83 “no” votes to 74 “yes” votes. That was Ballot Issue C. This year’s Ballot Issue 6D carried a maximum repayment cost of $189 as defined by Inclusion International, means “schools cannot deny access to students based on disability and there are clear consequences or accountabilities in place if they do so.” To be sure, integration is a commitment. But we must stand strong and protect the legal mandate of all individuals to this fundamental right to education. In the end, we must remember that inclusion should be our goal.

million, according to the measure’s wording on the Arapahoe County elections results website. The approval of 6D also provided voter “pre-authorization” of the possible future use of bonds, subject to future approvals by the downtown authority’s board of leaders and the Englewood City Council, Poremba said. To use a bond is to issue a debt to investors that the city eventually would pay back with interest. What authority has done so far For much of 2021, the focused was on getting the downtown authority off the ground, said Poremba.

ACCESSING COLORADO How different resources are making the outdoors accessible to people with disabilities BY OLIVIA JEWELL LOVE OLOVE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
W
hen looking to get outside and make memories with friends and family, disability should not be something that limits someone experiencing the outdoors. Check out examples of accessibility in Colorado that make the outdoors available for people with disabilities. Getting there When trying to choose an activity, navigating parks and outdoor spaces can be overwhelming for people with disabilities. From knowing where accessible trailheads are, to knowing where to park, there can be uncertainties in getting started. Ashley Lyn Olson, who started the website wheelchairtraveling.com, aims to make that experience easier. Growing up as someone who loved hiking and camping, Olson did not let her paralysis at 14 stop her from experiencing the outdoors. “I started the website in 2006. The mission is to empower people with limited mobility, their friends and loved ones. “ Her international site features city and park guides, hotel reviews, plane tips, tour companies and adaptive activities. She has the voices of more than 300 writers on the site. Her goal? Share her travel experience, and let others share theirs, all in hopes that it makes traveling to that location easier for the next person. Olson doesn’t always follow the “accessible” path though. Checking out things on her own, she has tried many trails that do not boast accessibility, but she thought looked flat enough for her chair. This way she opens up more options for people in the future who check out her site. Not every path she tries ends up being chair-friendly. “I’ve definitely got myself into jams,” she said. Olson explained how she has ended up with her wheels stuck, falling out of her chair, even losing a shoe. But her love of adventure propels her forward.

started its track chair program in 2017, which allows people with limited mobility the freedom to explore trails of the park. Track chairs are all-terrain wheelchairs. The program currently has four chairs, with another one on the way, and recently gave one to Barr Lake State Park near Brighton. Track chair program manager Natalie Burnside-Bostow says this chair hand-off was an important step in the program’s mission of accessibility. “One of our biggest goals is to continue to see our program spread to other parts (of Colorado), and to see other parts of Colorado build these types of programs,” Burnside-Bostow said. The program at Staunton sees people of all ages and all ability levels. “We get everything. Last weekend I had a 2-year-old, the week before that I had someone that it was their 91st birthday,” BurnsideBostow said. Most importantly, the program looks to break down barriers that many people with disabilities face in accessing the outdoors. In working with this program, Burnside-Bostow explains that while there may be perceived roadblocks, “No matter what the activity, there is a way to adapt the activity so everyone can participate.” The National Sports Center for the Disabled is an organization

based in Denver that offers outdoor experiences across Colorado for people with disabilities. During their fall/winter season, the NSCD offers rock climbing, hiking/snowshoeing, adaptive alpine and cross-country skiing, shooting sports and more. Kim Easton, the CEO for the NSCD, says that the programs the organization offers keeps people coming back. “The majority of our individuals, once they find us and try something…..they kind of get hooked.” The NSCD is powered by volunteers that share their passion for sports and outdoors. The organization is coming up on its 52nd year of operation. Moving forward The Outdoor Equity Grant Program, established by Colorado House Bill 21-1318, wants to “increase access and opportunity for underserved youth and their families to experience Colorado’s open spaces, state parks, public lands, and other outdoor areas,” according to the program’s website. This program could prove instrumental in helping disabled youths be able to experience the outdoors in Colorado. Kenny Maestas is the legislative coordinator for the Colorado Cross-Disability Coalition. He has been working on the grant program with representatives and senators from Colorado, making

sure the CCDC is heard. The grant coalition is made up of board members, including youth seats. Maestas said he sees the importance of young people being able to have access to the outdoors in a geographically diverse state. “And to live in one of the most beautiful states and never get to experience anything is a crime, I think,” Maestas said.

Health officials urge mask wearing amid COVID surge BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
In a Nov. 7, 2020, file photo, pedestrians stroll in the Highlands neighborhood of Denver during a period when an outdoor mask mandate was in effect in the city.
WHY MASKS FOR THE VACCINATED?
With Colorado’s number of COVID-19 hospitalizations now higher than it was at the peak of the coronavirus pandemic’s first wave in the state in spring 2020, health officials are again urging residents to wear masks in public. The Nov. 5 announcement was called a statewide “public health advisory,” a term that state health officials appear not to have used before in news releases about the pandemic. The careful language reflected Colorado’s reluctance to again issue a mask mandate for the general public in most settings, a requirement that the state allowed to expire this spring. “As public health officials, we are issuing this statewide advisory due to steadily increasing cases and a concern for hospital bed capacity,” the metro Denver health officials wrote in a news release. Colorado and the Denver metro region continue to see steady increases in COVID-19 cases, according to the release. On Nov. 4, Colorado’s rate of daily new cases — 49 per 100,000 people — was the fifth highest in the country and one of the fastest growing, the release said. The state’s number of hospitalized patients with confirmed COVID-19 was 1,296 as of Nov. 5 — outpacing the 1,277 confirmed and suspected COVID patients on April 9, 2020, the highest recorded number during Colorado’s first wave, according to state data. Deaths among Coloradans with COVID-19 have routinely reached above 20 per day since late September this year, with 29 deaths occurring on Oct. 17 alone. That’s the highest total since Jan. 10, when the state’s death rate was trending downward after the winter surge. The advisory was issued by the Metro Denver Partnership for Health, which includes the public health agencies of Boulder, Broomfield, Jefferson and Denver counties as well as Tri-County Health Department, which serves Adams and Arapahoe counties and provides certain public-health services to Douglas County. Hospitals serving metro Denver are full or nearing capacity due to COVID-19, non-COVID-19 emergencies and other routine visits, with
Many people in Colorado heard mask guidance change to include everyone — regardless of vaccination status — after the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in late July updated its guidance. That change came amid the spread of the more-contagious delta coronavirus variant. In light of new data on the delta variant, the CDC at that time updated its guidance for fully vaccinated people. The CDC recommended “universal indoor masking for all teachers, staff, students, and visitors to K-12 schools, regardless of vaccination status,” according to its website. The CDC guidance applied to schools everywhere — and to other indoor settings in counties with “substantial transmission” of the virus, according to John Douglas, executive director of Tri-County Health Department. less than 10% of staffed beds available — a trend not seen at any other point in the pandemic, according to the news release. Nearly 40% of hospitals report current or anticipated staff shortages within the next week, the Nov. 5 release said. While Colorado’s current COVID hospitalizations are about two-thirds of what they were during the state’s winter surge last year, more people are now hospitalized in Colorado for other reasons — car accidents, heart attacks and issues caused by delayed medical care, The Colorado Sun reported. The state’s hospitals have not been more full during the pandemic, the Sun reported. Gov. Jared Polis has said that if the surge continues, Colorado will need to request medical surge teams from the Federal Emergency Management Agency, or FEMA, and halt elective surgeries, according to the release. “Elective” means a surgery or procedure can be delayed without undue risk to health. Hospitals may also need to resort to “crisis standards of care,” the release said. Crisis standards of care are guidelines for how the medical community should allocate scarce resources such as ventilators and intensive-care-unit beds in “the extreme case when patient needs exceed the resources available,”

according to the state public-health department’s website. Polis recently issued executive orders that included action to give the state greater authority to direct transfers of patients between hospitals, the Sun reported. The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment on Oct. 31 ordered hospitals to suspend cosmetic surgeries in order to free up staff and bed space; some hospitals have already gone further, delaying needed but non-emergency procedures, the Sun reported. As of Oct. 30, the metro region alone had 581 hospitalizations due to COVID-19 — a number that has been increasing over the past weeks, the release said. A majority of these COVID hospitalizations — about 80% — continue to be among the unvaccinated, the release said. The news release seemed to signal that more “advisories” — not orders — would be forthcoming if coronavirus trends continue to worsen. “As public health officials, we will continue to monitor trends in COVID-19, especially as the region moves into flu season and with holidays approaching, and issue advisories as needed,” the release said. Details of officials’ guidance The state public-health department and the Metro Denver Partnership for Health urged the following actions and underscored the following information in the health advisory: • Wear a mask when in crowded public indoor spaces whether vaccinated or not, even in locations where your home county does not already require it. That’s especially important when visiting restaurants, bars, gyms and other crowded places that do not require proof of vaccination for staff and patrons. • Move public and private gatherings and events outdoors whenever possible to increase ventilation (air circulation). • Persons at high COVID risk — those who are not fully vaccinated and those with conditions that increase the risk of severe COVID
— should consider staying out of public indoor spaces until the case rate has declined. • Flu season has begun, so Coloradans should get a flu shot, which can be given at the same time as a COVID-19 vaccine. • All eligible individuals should get vaccinated, including completing both doses of a vaccine if receiving the Pfizer or Moderna vaccines, then get a booster dose after six months for extra protection if you are in a higher-risk group. “Vaccines are the most effective way to prevent COVID-19 infection and hospitalizations,” the release said. Vaccinations continue to be free — no insurance coverage required — and can be obtained in pharmacies and from health-care providers. • Anyone who is 18 or older who would like a booster dose and is either six months past their initial series of a vaccine or two months past a one-dose Johnson & Johnson (Janssen) vaccination should make a plan to get the booster dose or discuss with their doctor. • The advisory noted that the COVID-19 vaccine for children aged 5-11 is now available, following the federal Food and Drug Administration’s emergency-use authorization of the Pfizer vaccine for that age group and approval by the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. • COVID-19 monoclonal antibodies can help prevent severe illness for some people ages 12 years and older who get infected with COVID-19. If you have tested positive for COVID-19 or are not fully vaccinated and have been exposed to COVID-19, and you are at high risk of developing severe COVID-19 due to your age or medical condition, you may be eligible. • Get tested if you are experiencing symptoms consistent with COVID-19, and stay home if you are sick or waiting for test results. The news release said employees are entitled to paid sick leave if they have COVID as well as for getting vaccinated for COVID.
FREEDOM. TO BE YOU.

Mountain Vista upsets Broomfield’s Legacy in playoffs Highlands Ranch school forces 5 turnovers; Creek up next BY JONATHAN MANESS SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA
Eighteenth-seeded Mountain Vista High School of Highlands Ranch pulled out all the stops to upset No. 15 Legacy High of Broomfield in the opening round of the CHSAA Class 5A state football playoffs Nov. 6. Mountain Vista’s Golden Eagles scored 21 unanswered points and forced five turnovers to upset the favored Lightning 42-17 at Five Star Stadium in Westminster. The Golden Eagles now have the tough task of upsetting the defending state champions, No. 2-seeded Cherry Creek, which had a bye in the first round. At pres time, the game’s date had not been set. “(Cherry Creek) is a great program. I’ve known (Creek coach Dave) Logan for a long time now,” Mountain Vista coach Garrett Looney said. “We have to play near perfect football and not make mistakes.

12 teams secure spots in state tournament to be held in Colorado Springs BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Cherry Creek, the top-seeded team in the 12 Class 5A state regional volleyball tournaments, rolled to wins over Westminster and Chatfield of Jefferson County to capture the Region 1 championship on Nov. 6. The Bruins beat Westminster, 3-0, with 25-9, 25-5 and 25-10 set victories, and then whipped Chatfield, 3-0, with 25-21, 25-20 and 25-10 wins in the sets. “I thought we played really well,” said Creek coach Steve Huntingdale. “As a whole group we played well. I’m really proud of the kids.” Carter Booth, a 6-foot-7 senior who is the daughter of Denver Nuggets general manger Calvin Booth, was a dominant player for the Bruins as she repeatedly scored points with kills. “Carter Booth was great,” said
Huntingdale. “She’s just a phenomenal player. But all our passers and defenders did a really great job. Our hitters got some really good looks. So it was just us handling the ball, passing and defense. That relieves a lot of pressure and we could put a lot of offense on.” Booth had 30 kills in the two matches. She had 21 kills and three blocks against Chatfield in the Bruins’ second match of the day. Natalia Landry had 12 digs against Chatfield and five in the match with Westminster. Anna Van Wyk finished the two matches with 49 assists. The 12 regional champions advance to the state tournament, which will be held Nov. 11-13 at the Broadmoor World Arena in Colorado Springs. “We just want to be consistent at the state tournament,” said Huntingdale. “The teams are going to be real consistent so the team that can play the steadiest, best volleyball for a longest amount of time is going to be hard to beat. “So that is going to be the focus. It’s going to be emotional, you win points and lose points. You’ve got to
keep driving and think about this (the next) point.” Other regional champions who earned spots in the state tournament were Parker-area Chaparral, which captured the Region 2 crown, and Grandview of Aurora, which beat Littleton’s Heritage en route to winning in Region 3. Mountain Vista of Highlands Ranch beat Doherty of Colorado Springs and Eaglecrest of Centennial to take the Region 4 crown while Valor Christian of Highlands Ranch took the Region 5 title. Defending state champion Rampart of Colorado Springs was the Region 6 winner, Broomfield came out on top in Region 7, while Ralston Valley of Arvada had a tough match against Douglas County of Castle Rock but won the Region 8 title. Highlands Ranch downed Brighton to win the Region 9 championship, Pueblo West was the Region 10 winner, Parker-area Legend reigned in Region 11 and 25th seed Rock Canyon of Highlands Ranch won Region 12. In Class 3A, Parker-area Lutheran won the Region 3 title.

ball over three times in its own territory in the third quarter. And to make matters worse, starting quarterback Camdyn Johnston left the game with an injured shoulder early in the quarter. A snap that sailed over the punter’s head early in the quarter gave Mountain Vista the ball at Legacy’s 13-yard line. One play later, Modrzewski found Chris Smith to advance the lead. Next drive, Legacy fumbled the ball at the 30, and Modrzewski found Mack on the following play to push the lead to 18 points. Modrzewski added another touchdown in the quarter with a screen pass to Elam Parises to give Mountain Vista a commanding 28-3 lead after three quarters. Legacy finally saw some success late by running the wildcat formation late. Braelon Tate, who was battling an injured ankle in the contest, scored a 1-yard plunge to open the fourth. He then broke loose for a 54-yard run that set up his second touchdown in the contest. But Modrzewski sealed the victory with a late touchdown pass to Tyrone Williams. “(Legacy) was a good team, they had injuries which hurt, but our team showed great resolve,” Looney said. “We made a couple of adjustments in the second half and our kids played really well.” Tate had 127 yards in the contest and finishes his career at Legacy by breaking the school’s record for points scored with 114. On the defensive side of the ball, Jackson Smith, Kaiden Rivera and Carter Daniels all had interceptions for Mountain Vista, while Alex Gottschalk had a pair of sacks and a fumble recovery.

C R O S S W O R D As holidays near, nonprofit helps feed Denver’s food-insecure residents P U Z Z L E ‘For a lot of people, (food) is a challenge’ BY BRIAN WILLIE AND KYLE COOKE ROCKY MOUNTAIN PBS
On the fourth Thursday of every month, Jim Scharper parks a cargo truck at the intersection of 21st and Stout in downtown Denver. The truck is packed to the brim with essential items, from toilet paper to dog food to nonperishable food items and even clothes. Scores of people, many of them low-income and housinginsecure, line up to pick up some necessary items, which are all free of charge. “I know firsthand just how hard it is to find food out here on the streets,” Scharper said. About 13 years ago, Scharper was in a similar situation as many of the people he currently serves. He was unhoused, living out of his truck, and struggling with addiction. Once he got sober, he started making and distributing sandwiches on the fourth Thursday of the month, he said. He has done that every month for 12 years, rain or shine. Scharper operates the nonprofit Feeding Denver’s Hungry. Earlier this year, Scharper’s nonprofit opened a free grocery store in Montbello, enabling Scharper to expand on his mission. “From one day to the next, for a lot of people, is a challenge,” he explained at the time. Rocky Mountain PBS met Scharper and a group of volunteers at 21st and Stout. One of the volunteers said that a lot of the people picking up food were also on food stamps. Feeding Denver’s Hungry purposefully distributes food at the end of the month to coincide with the time when many Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program

(SNAP) recipients start to run out of the monthly allotment. According to the Colorado Department of Human Services, more than 255,000 Colorado households receive SNAP benefits in 2020. Nearly 40% of those households include children under the age of 18, and the average monthly allowance was just $343. The COVID-19 pandemic made food insecurity worse. In the spring of 2021, Hunger Free Colorado, a statewide nonprofit organization which connects people to food resources, published a survey that found 33 percent of Coloradans are struggling with “food insecurity or lack of consistent, reliable access to nutritious, culturally relevant food.” William Evans said he comes to 21st and Stout every month. “(The program) just helps everybody out who is down and out, hard on their luck,” he said. “It helps out a whole lot,” Evans continued. “It helps everybody … tremendously.” According to Scharper, about 80% of the food comes from the Food Bank of the Rockies. The remaining 20% comes mostly from private donations. If you are interested in donating to Feeding Denver’s Hungry, or learning more about the organization, click here. Feeding Denver’s Hungry will return to 21st and Stout on Nov. 25, Thanksgiving Day.

CPW has remained an active member in the Upper Cherry Creek Water Association (“UCCWA”) during the diligence period. CPW has paid a yearly membership fee to UCCWA for management of various Cherry Creek water resources and storage in Cherry Creek Reservoir, including operation of and accounting for the plan for augmentation decreed in Case No. 01CW284, District Court, Water Division 1. The use of the Gardeners’ Ditch Exchange for augmentation purposes is pursuant to this plan for augmentation. The yearly membership dues paid by CPW to UCCWA are approximately $15,000.00. 4.3.4. A CPW staff member attends monthly UCCWA meetings about the coordination of the Cherry Creek water resources and Cherry Creek Reservoir. 4.3.5. CPW has performed monthly reviews of the Water Court resume to determine whether filing of statements of opposition is necessary to protect its water rights in Water Division 1, including the Gardeners’ Ditch Exchange and Cherry Creek Augmentation Pool. 4.4. ACWWA and CWSD. 4.4.1. Joint Water Purification Plant. During this diligence period, CWSD and ACWWA made improvements at the Joint Water Purification Plant (the “JWPP”), a water treatment facility which is co-owned by ACWWA, CWSD, and the Arapahoe County Water and Wastewater Public Improvement District. The improvements included the replacement of reverse osmosis membranes and the design, construction, and commissioning of a new biological treatment system (“BTS”). The BTS treats the reverse osmosis concentrate produced by the JWPP prior to discharge. The JWPP was constructed specifically to fully use and reuse the alluvial water rights of ACWWA and CWSD. Nine of CWSD’s alluvial wells and several of ACWWA’s alluvial wells are specifically listed as exchange to points under the decree in 01CW284. Water which is exchanged up to the alluvial wells of ACWWA and CWSD is typically treated at the JWPP before delivery to customers. Therefore, the improvements made at the JWPP increases and supports the ability of ACWWA and CWSD to use the subject exchange. CWSD expended approximately $9.0 million on the design and construction of the JWPP and related pipelines and facilities, within this diligence period. ACWWA expended approximately $8,200,000 for the design and construction of the JWPP concentrate biological treatment system. 4.4.2. CWSD wastewater is treated at the Lone Tree Creek Water Reuse Facility (“WRF”). Reusable return flows discharged at the WRF are a source of substitute supply for several of CWSD’s exchanges. In May 2017, CWSD renewed its sewer service agreement with ACWWA and secured 1 MGD a year of wastewater treatment capacity on a perpetual basis. Additionally, CWSD constructed an additional 4,400 linear feet of an 18inch effluent water line that will be used to discharge WRF effluent return flows at additional locations on Cherry Creek for reuse by CWSD. 4.4.3. Integrated Water and WW System. CWSD operates an integrated municipal water supply and wastewater system within the meaning of C.R.S. § 37-92-301(4)(b), such that work on any feature of CWSD’s integrated system shall be considered in finding that reasonable diligence has been shown in the development of any and all water rights for that entire system. Since November 2015, CWSD has made the following expenditures on its integrated water system. CWSD has incurred an average of $6.0 million per year in overall costs and expenses to maintain, operate, protect, and expand its municipal supply system. This figure includes approximately $479,648 in attorney fees and $362,717 in engineering costs for work in support of its municipal system. An average of $18,000/year for participation in the Upper Cherry Creek Water Authority. An additional $33,835 for contributions toward joint modeling of the Cherry Creek Basin (a total of $116,828 has been authorized by the CWSD Board, including the new C-CAMP 2.0 contract). CWSD is also a member of the Cherry Creek Project Water Authority (“CCPWA”). During the Diligence Period, the CCPWA began work constructing Walker Reservoir. The Walker Reservoir is a 650 AF storage reservoir. Cottonwood’s ownership in the reservoir is 75 AF During the Diligence Period, Cottonwood spent a total of $772,030 on the development and operation of the CCPWA’s wells and facilities, planning activities, and towards the development and construction of the CCPWA’s Walker Reservoir. During the Diligence Period, CWSD has continued to obtain, develop, and operate additional water sources, including water available through the Water Infrastructure and Supply Efficiency system (“WISE”) and the Baja Water. The WISE water and the Baja Water are sources of substitute supply for several of CWSD’s exchanges. Cottonwood spent approximately $2.6 million in capital costs associated with the WISE water during the Diligence Period and began receiving WISE water in 2017. CWSD obtained its ownership interest to the contractual right of delivery of the Baja Water during the Diligence Period. 4.4.4. Case No. 96CW1144. By the decree entered in Case No. 96CW1144 on May 19, 2016, the Court approved ACWWA’s plan for augmentation which resulted in additional augmentation supplies being available to support the use of the wells which are the subject of this case. The decree also adjudicated a conditional water storage right for Chambers Reservoir in Douglas County. The predominant use of Chambers Reservoir is expected to be as an element of ACWWA’s nonpotable water system and for management and release of augmentation water supplies. 4.4.5. Case No. 15CW3144. The decree entered on February 8, 2018 in Case No. 15CW3144 found that ACWWA had exercised reasonable diligence in the development of water rights and made absolute certain portions of those rights for the Race Well No. 1, Race Well No. 3, Ford Well No. 1, Ford Well No. 2, Murdock Well No. 2, Deem Well, Smith Well No. 1, Antonoff Well No. 1, Antonoff Well No. 2, Loyd Well No. 2, and the 1986 Exchange. 4.4.6. During the diligence period, ACWWA has been an active objector in numerous Water Court cases involving Cherry Creek, in which it seeks to protect its decreed and vested water rights. 4.4.7. Chambers Reservoir. During the subject diligence period, the Division of Water Resources Dam Safety Branch performed a final construction in-
spection of the synthetic liner installation project at Chambers Reservoir Dam and approved the synthetic liner. This reservoir operation will increase the demand for ACWWA to operate the subject exchange. Additionally, releases from Chambers Reservoir are a source of augmentation water and may be exchanged to the upstream point of ACWWA’s depletions pursuant to the subject exchange. The Chambers Reservoir storage right was decreed in Case No. 96CW1144. 4.4.8. ACWWA Flow Project. In 2009 ACWWA contracted with United Water and Sanitation District (“United”) and ECCV to develop the ACWWA Flow Project. This project when fully developed will acquire, treat and deliver 4,400 acre feet of annual average yield water rights from ditch systems in the South Platte Basin to ECCV Water Treatment Plant for treatment, then to ACWWA for use. This water will be used for ACWWA’s customers and its return flows will be used in ACWWA’s augmentation plan which will use ACWWA’s alluvial wells to supply ACWWA additional potable and non-potable water supplies. ACWWA has numerous wells that are listed as exchange points in this application. Water which is exchanged up to ACWWA’s alluvial wells can be stored Chambers for use. Therefore, the development of the ACWWA Flow Project increases and supports ACWWA’s ability to use the subject exchange. The total estimated cost of the Phase II infrastructure is $60 million for an additional 10 million gallons of pumping and treatment capacity. The Booster Pump Stations are approximately $25 million and the NWTP Expansion is approximately $35 million. ACWWA has purchased an additional 3 million gallons of capacity from these facilities, totaling about $18 million in capital expenditure for the following: Expansion of the Northern Water Treatment RO Plant (20182020); Expansion of the North and South Booster Pump Stations (2018-2019); and Construction of Deep Injection Well II (2018). 4.4.9. ACWWA’s 2015 Municipal Water Efficiency Plan. In 2015, ACWWA developed its Municipal Water Efficiency Plan update in accordance with the Water Conservation Act of 2004 and to meet the provisions of § 37-60-126, C.R.S. 4.4.10. 2019 Draft Integrated Master Plan. During this diligence period, ACWWA began updating its 2011 Master Plan. The updated integrated master planning effort involves assessing the condition and performance of the existing systems including improvements that have occurred since the 2011 master plan, analyzing existing and future water storage needs, examining existing and future supply and demand/ load analysis, analyzing and assessing treatment plant and lift station capacity, identifying capital improvement projects, and proposing an overall phased capital improvement program. The plan fully relies on ACWWA’s alluvial water rights (including numerous wells that are listed as exchange points in 01CW284) and the augmentation of the use of those wells when not in priority to ensure ACWWA has an efficient system. Therefore, the development of this planning document increases and supports ACWWA’s ability to use the subject exchange. 4.5. ECCV. 4.5.1. Case No. 14CW3009. By the decree entered in Case No. 14CW3009 on February 24, 2017 ECCV made 3.19 cfs out of 6.68 cfs of the conditional rights decreed to District Alluvial Wells CC-10, CC-12, and CC-15 absolute, and continued as conditional portions of District Alluvial Well CC-10, in the amount of 1000 gpm, District Alluvial Well CC-12, in the amount of 1000 gpm, and District Alluvial Well CC-15, in the amount of 1000 gpm. 4.5.2. Reuse of Lawn Irrigation Return Flows. During this diligence period, ECCV continued to prosecute Case No.03CW200 and 12CW200, Water Division 1, under which return flows from lawn irrigation use of the water are quantified to facilitate future reuse of this water. ECCV has performed studies of LIRFs throughout ECCV that included various analyses conducted to determine the amount, timing, and location of LIRFs within several drainage basins within ECCV’s service area, including Toll Gate Creek and Sand Creek. 4.5.3. ECCV’s Northern Water Supply Project. The Water Supply Project is designed to provide ECCV with a long-term, sustainable municipal water supply for its service area located in Arapahoe County, Colorado. In order to implement the ECCV Water Supply Project, ECCV, United Water and Sanitation District, and the Farmers Reservoir & Irrigation Company entered into a Water Supply Agreement on December 18, 2003, that was amended in May 2007. The Water Supply Project is a multi-phase renewable water supply project. Phase I secured approximately 6,000 acre-feet of water rights from the South Platte River and the construction of a 31-mile pipeline, storage tanks and two pump stations. This phase of the Project now delivers renewable water from the Beebe Draw, where water is stored from the South Platte River, and then is sent down through the pipeline to ECCV’s service area. On December 15, 2009, ACWWA, United, and ECCV entered into an Intergovernmental Agreement to provide for ACWWA’s participation with ECCV and United in the Water Supply Project. The return flows from the water delivered will be used in ECCV’s augmentation plan, Case No. 00CW217, which will use ECCV’s alluvial wells to supply ECCV with additional potable and non-potable water supplies. During the diligence period, United, on behalf of ECCV and ACWWA, has developed and acquired infrastructure for Phase II of the Water Supply Project (“Phase II”), including but not limited to mining United Reservoir No. 3; acquiring Milliken Reservoir in August 2015; completing construction of 70 Ranch Reservoir in July 2019; acquiring Holton Lake in September 2019 and completing construction of Holton Lake in June 2021; commenced construction of the Serfer Augmentation Station in 2021; in and securing easement deeds and agreements for structures necessary to deliver water to ECCV and ACWWA. During this diligence period ECCV and ACWWA have also been working on Phase II, which will allow ECCV to deliver up to 14.75 million gallons of renewable water to customers each day and ACWWA to deliver up to 5.25 million gallons of renewable water to customers each day, whereby reducing dependency on non-renewable wells. Phase II also included expansion of the Northern Water Treatment RO Plant (2018-2020) and the North and South Booster Pump Stations (2018-2019), and construction of Deep Injection Well II (2018). The total estimated cost of the Phase II infrastructure is $60 million for an additional 10 million gallons of pumping and treatment capacity. The Booster Pump Stations are approximately $25 million and the NWTP Expansion is approximately $35 million. ACWWA has purchased an additional 3 million gallons of capacity from these facilities, totaling about $18 million in capital expenditure. 4.5.4. During this diligence period,

Animal attraction at Denver Museum of Nature & Science Slow movers are the stars of traveling exhibition BY CLARKE READER SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA
Ask most people what it takes to survive and thrive in nature and speed will be among the top elements any creature should have. And that is largely correct. But as is often the case in the natural world, there are all kinds of exceptions to the rule — fascinating ones. The kinds of animals that thrive despite — or because — of their slowness take center stage at the traveling exhibition, “Survival of the Slowest,” which is stopping at the Denver Museum of Nature & Science, 2001 Colorado Blvd. in Denver, through Jan. 9. “This is a great opportunity to showcase the animals that aren’t the strongest, fastest and biggest,” said Dr. Frank-Thorsten Krell, senior
entomology and exhibit curator. “It’s not always necessary to be the fastest and strongest and that’s a message a lot of people — especially kids — really like.” Produced by Little Ray’s Exhibitions and the Foundation for Animal Rescue and Education (FARE), the exhibit also breaks another norm at the museum — it features living animals, instead of their remains. “Before we accepted the exhibit, we did a lot of checking to ensure the welfare of the animals is a priority for the organizers. It’s important for us that the animals are well cared for and live in habitats they enjoy,” Krell said. “What I didn’t expect is how close you’re able to see these animals.” The star of the show is certainly the sloth, but it’s not the only one -- visitors will also get a look at a hedgehog, iguana and more. Among the many things visitors can learn about the sloth is that they have the lowest relative muscle mass of any mammal (25%, compared to 40% in humans and 58% in lions) and that

they only climb down from trees is for mating and defecation. While all the animals visitors will meet don’t do a lot of moving, the reasons and strategies behind their slowness vary. According to provided information, some are cold-blooded, others warm-blooded. Some are adapted to need food less frequently than others, while others find unique ways to hide from their adversaries.

“Since these animals don’t move very quickly, we encourage people to come back several times, because that will allow you to see them doing different things,” Krell said. “People can come connect with the animals by seeing them so close. It’s a good message that there are different strategies in life to be successful.” Entry into the exhibit is included with a general admission ticket. Get all the details at www.dmns.org.

E. Source: South Platte River and tributaries thereto, including Plum Creek and its tributaries. F. Appropriation Date: September 7, 1984. Amount: 6,000 acre-feet, CONDITIONAL. G. Uses: Municipal, domestic, industrial, commercial, irrigation, stockwatering, recreational, fish and wildlife propagation and maintenance and other beneficial purposes within the South Platte River drainage in Water Division 1. Said water may be also used for exchange purposes, for replacement of depletions resulting from use of water from other sources, for augmentation purposes, and for artificial recharge of the Denver Basin aquifers underlying Highlands Ranch for all of the beneficial uses described in this paragraph 3.G. 4. Outline of what has been done toward completion of the appropriation and application of water to a beneficial use as conditionally decreed, including expenditures: Centennial has engaged in numerous activities during the relevant diligence period
that demonstrate diligence toward application of the subject water right to the beneficially decreed uses. Centennial’s efforts include, but are not limited to, the following: A. The subject water right and its associated structures and sources are part of the unified water supply system for Highlands Ranch. Highlands Ranch is a development consisting of approximately 22,000 acres in Douglas County, including the community of Highlands Ranch. Centennial is responsible for providing a municipal water supply to Highlands Ranch. Centennial spent approximately $146.5 million on system-wide improvements not otherwise described below to develop its municipal water and wastewater systems, including but not limited to the following approximate expenses: raw water storage facilities, approximately $66.4 million; wastewater treatment facilities, approximately $51.5 million; booster pump stations, approximately $9.3 million; water infrastructure, approximately $8.8 million; and wastewater infrastructure, approximately $6.6 million, in addition to lesser expenditures. B. Centennial continued to engage in efforts to obtain, and successfully obtained the reallocation of storage space in Chatfield Reservoir from flood control to multipurpose use, including municipal use (“Chatfield Reallocation Project”). Centennial continues to be involved in mitigation activities related to the Chatfield Reallocation Project. In October 2015, by signing the Water Provider Agreement with the Colorado Department of Natural Resources, Centennial obtained a permanent right to use storage space in Chatfield Reservoir when and if the necessary mitigation activities were approved by the Corp of Engineers. C. Centennial is one of the original members of the Chatfield Reservoir Mitigation Company, formed in October 2015 to oversee the design, construction, and implementation of mitigation measures required for federal approval of the Chatfield Reallocation Project. Centennial has contributed approximately $2.4 million to the Chatfield Reservoir Mitigation Company. Centennial was also involved in the negotiation of the Chatfield Reservoir Management Agreement, finalized in October 2015. After a multitude of project mitigation compliance activities in which Centennial was actively involved, the United States Army Corps of Engineers approved the mitigation compliance activities for the Chatfield Reallocation Project and began allowing the initiation of storage in Chatfield Reservoir in May 2020. Centennial’s total expenditures related to the Chatfield Reallocation Project during the diligence period are in excess of $50 million. D. Centennial contributed significant staff and funding efforts to the successful defense of the federal approval for the Chatfield Reallocation Project in litigation involving a challenge brought by the Audubon Society of Greater Denver. E. Centennial developed accounting procedures for implementing its storage and use of the subject water right, and such accounting was approved by the Water Commissioner. F. Centennial has expended approximately $200,000 to operate and maintain the South Platte Reservoir during the diligence period, including, but not limited to, data collection and water quality studies. G. Centennial incurred significant legal and engineering fees and costs associated with participating as an objector in various Water Court cases to protect its water rights, including the subject water right, from injury due to claims of other water users. Centennial continues to rely upon the subject water right and has no intention to abandon same. H. A claim to make an additional amount of the subject water right absolute is included herewith. Such diversion, storage, and use of water in amounts greater than the amounts previously decreed absolute is evidence of reasonable diligence in the development of Centennial’s unified water supply system, including the subject conditional water right. 5. Claim to make absolute – water applied to beneficial use: A. Date and Amount: During water year 2019, Centennial stored 1,369 acre feet of water under the subject
water right in South Platte Reservoir. Diversions were made at the following maximum rates: (1) from Last Chance Ditch at the rate of 27.62 cfs, diverted on April 23, 2019; and (2) from the South Platte Wellfield No. 2, at the rate of 1.40 cfs, diverted on April 14, 2019. The water diverted and stored under this right was subsequently delivered into Centennial’s water treatment and distribution system for beneficial use within Centennial’s service area. Use: All decreed uses. B. Description of place of use where water is applied to beneficial use: Within Centennial’s service area. 6. Names and addresses of owners or reputed owners of the land upon which any new diversion structure or storage structure, or modification to an 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: No new diversion structures are or will be constructed and no modifications to existing diversion structures are or will be constructed. Centennial owns the land on which South Platte Reservoir is located. The land on which Chatfield Reservoir is located is owned by the United States Army Corps of Engineers, whose address is 9307 South Wadsworth Blvd., Littleton, Colorado 80128. WHEREFORE, Centennial requests the Court to enter a decree finding that (1) Centennial has proceeded with reasonable diligence toward the completion of the appropriation of the subject conditional water right; (2) finding that Centennial has made the subject conditional water right absolute in the amounts and for the uses claimed in paragraph 5 above; and (3) continuing the remaining conditional portion of the subject conditional water right in full force and effect for an additional diligence period.
