What the end of universal free meals means for schools Districts to go from feeding thousands to hundreds BY ROBERT TANN RTANN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Under a hot June sun, Kristy Bisbal arrives at a small stand to collect 10 brown paper bags full of sandwiches, fruit and milk. She’s been coming to the stand — run by volunteers for the City of Englewood and staff from the Englewood School District outside the city’s Civic Center — three to four times for the past week. “It helps a lot,” Bisbal said. “You don’t have to worry about how you’re going to feed your kids.” Bisbal is one of hundreds of parents who’ve participated in the district’s free summer meals program that provides food to any child younger than 18, even if they don’t attend Englewood schools. Along with food for her two children, Bisbal picks up bags of food for a friend and mother of eight who stays home with her newborn. Having access to free meals has been huge, said Bisbal, whose dollars are stretched thin as inflation continues to worsen. But with a recent decrease in federal funds for free meal programs, school districts in Englewood and Littleton are likely to go from serving thousands this summer to just hundreds.

Littleton police made an arrest June 14 of a 14-year-old boy accused of shooting and robbing a woman in Progress Park in Littleton the evening of June 13. The arrest was made after officers conducted a search warrant in the 1300 block of South Lowell Boulevard in Denver, police said. The suspect was taken into custody without incident and is charged with first-degree assault and aggravated robbery. According to Littleton Police Department spokesperson Sheera Poelman, two suspects approached two women who were walking along Big Dry Creek Trail in Progress Park Sunday evening. The suspect who was arrested, a 14-year-old who was described as a Hispanic male, asked one of the women for her purse. When she said no, he shot her in the leg and stole her purse. Officers responded to a call at 8:43 p.m. following the incident. Police are still looking for a second person of interest who may have accompanied the 14-year-old boy. She is described as a teenage girl, according to police. Ella Babeon, the daughter of
the woman who was shot, said her mother is coming home June 14 after being treated for non-lifethreatening injuries at a local hospital. “She’s super excited to get discharged,” Babeon said in an email, adding that her doctors say “she’s doing well and her mobility is excellent.” Babeon said her mother’s shooter is “just a child” who “threw his whole life away.” “It’s heartbreaking but his actions have consequences,” Babeon said. “We don’t know what drove him to do this but hopefully he will be able to turn his life around by the time he’s out of jail. We can only hope this is a second chance for him in the long run.” Poelman said an “incident like this in Littleton is more rare than it is common,” though she said northeast Littleton, where Progress Park is located, does tend to see higher crime reports. Police have increased patrols in the area, Poelman said, with more police activity in Progress Park “probably for the next few days because of this incident.” “We don’t want people to be afraid but vigilant and alert,” Poelman said, adding that if someone is ever approached by a person with a weapon it is best to give them what they ask. “I would argue that your life is not worth a belonging,” she said. Poelman said the department would not release the police report yet citing a still-active investigation.

South Suburban looks for input on outdoor amenities, events Survey live through Sept. 1 BY ROBERT TANN RTANN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
South Suburban Parks and Recreation — which operates parks, open space and recreational facilities throughout Arapahoe, Douglas and Jefferson counties — is looking for feedback as it eyes future updates to outdoor amenities and services. The parks service operates 168 parks, open spaces and facilities as well as 12 major trails that serve more than 150,000 residents. Community members have until Sept. 1 to fill out a brief, 15-minute survey to share ideas for where the parks service should invest in future programs over the next five years. Questions include how often community members use amenities, what amenities they believe need improvements and what amenities and programs they would like to see more of. “We’re hoping to hear from our community for what they see as the vision,” said Melissa Reese-Thacker, South Suburban’s planning manager. The updates come following South Suburban’s 2017 master plan, which saw investments in a slew of projects including 26 playgrounds and 41 trail improvements. “We’re anticipating that we’re going to hear from the public that they want more park and recreation

enway trail, a popular 8-mile paved pathway alongside the South Platte River, saw record use during the early months of the pandemic. “We have seen those numbers drop off a bit since things have reopened, but the numbers are still trending high,” Reese-Thacker said.
South Suburban plans to pay for future projects through property taxes and funds brought in from fees collected from events and facilities. You can fill out the survey by going to tinyurl.com/southsuburbansurvey.
Dear Davis Schilken, I have been helping take care of my parents for the last few years. While they’re spirits are high and their wit is still quick, they aren’t as sharp as they once were. My sister’s also help take care of them. They have recently concluded that Mom and Dad need proper Estate Planning. How do we execute their Estate Plans? Sincerely, Curious Carol Dear Curious Carol, We are happy to hear that your parents are generally in good health. It is never easy watching your loved one’s age. That doesn’t mean that the hard part is over, however. Additionally, I am happy that you and your siblings are trying to take initiative and get Mom and Dad’s Estate Planning rolling.
Eight Magical Weekends! Open Now thru August 7th
There is one key principle you must always remember. These are MOM and DAD’s Estate Plans, not yours, not your sisters’. There is little that can be done by you and your siblings when it comes to Estate Planning. Mom and Dad must decide for themselves whether they want to engage in that process. All that is required to draft a will (or Estate Plan) in the State of Colorado is that “An Individual be eighteen year of age or more who is of sound mind, may make a will.” See §15-11-501. This a relatively low standard. The question remains however, what is “of sound mind?” Colorado Courts answered this question early on. In the case of Lehman v. Lindenmeyer, 109 P.d 305 (Colo. 1910). The court held that: “Testamentary capacity” 1) means sufficient mind to know the extent and value of testator’s property, 2) the number and names of the persons who are the natural objects of his bounty, 3) their deserts with reference to their conduct and treatment toward him, 4) their capacity and necessity,

Restaurateur carries on the family tradition ‘You rely on so many people’ in fourth-generation eatery in Centennial BY RACHEL LORENZ SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA
The Galassos have been serving marinara-topped pasta, Italianinfluenced sandwiches and handstretched pizza in Centennial for a decade now, but the family’s culinary roots in Colorado actually reach back half a century. “The very first GeJo’s was opened by my great-grandmother, back in the mid-’60s, down south in Trinidad, Colorado,” Tony Galasso told Colorado Community Media. His father, uncle and grandparents opened more locations in the Denver metro area in the ’70s. Galasso, 44, grew up in the business and remembers standing on a milk crate to make pizzas and wash dishes. Although he worked at GeJo’s II in Aurora as a high school student, his family stepped away from the restaurant industry in the late ’90s. Galasso, who began a career in the mortgage industry in the early 2000s, assumed he’d find a way back to the world of food someday. “I had always wanted to get in the industry and carry on the family tradition,” Galasso said. So when the space that used to

house GeJo’s IV in the ’80s and ’90s became available, Galasso knew it was time to fulfill a dream he had nearly given up on and become a restaurant owner. After an extensive 20-month-long remodel, GeJo’s Original Italian Restaurant & Lounge opened in February 2012 near the intersection of Quebec Street and Dry Creek Road. The eatery pays tribute to his father, uncle and grandparents as well as revives his great-grandmother’s family recipes. Galasso’s favorite entree is Geno’s Spaghetti Special which is topped with seasoned ground beef, a smooth marinara sauce and a homemade hot pepper blend for “a little kick.” To this day, GeJo’s continues to be a family affair. Galasso said there’s no way he could run the business on his own. “You rely on so many people and pieces to help you be successful,” he said, remarking on the assistance of his wife, his immediate family and his employees. His father is particularly dedicated and still “lives and breathes and bleeds the restaurant

industry.” But just as important is the community that backs GeJo’s. When restaurants were closed to in-person dining early in the pandemic, neighborhood folks were getting GeJo’s takeout regularly — sometimes three or four times a week, Galasso said. “I know they put on a couple extra pounds because they were going above and beyond to support us,” he said. Consistency, in your product and in your service, is what sets one restaurant apart from another, Galasso

said. GeJo’s achieves that by always having a family member or an anchor employee at the restaurant overseeing operations. That support is more valuable than ever, Galasso said. He and his wife have a 16-month old daughter and will soon be welcoming a second child. His challenge now, he said, is balancing work in the demanding restaurant business with time amid his growing family. “Having a child of my own and another one on the way, family becomes more important than ever,” he said.

deployment for the 2020 wildfire, which ultimately spanned more than 208,000 acres and became the largest wildfire in Colorado history. “Our fire camp was in an area that had completely burned over weeks prior,” Cappel said, explaining that the camp was a safe area to try to rest because there was nothing left. It was there, surrounded by char, that the devastation of the fire sunk in. “You can just hear your heartbeat, because there’s nothing else to hear,” she said. “There’s no animals left in the areas. There’s not even birds chirping. It’s just kind of this deafening quiet of — everything around is just gone.” That experience stuck with Cappel, showing her both what happened and what she and the other firefighters were working to prevent from happening elsewhere. It also helped motivate her to take the next step in her firefighter career and become the first female Type 1 wildland firefighter in the history of Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office. A Type 1 firefighter, otherwise known as a “squad boss,” helps lead a small group of firefighters, according to the National Wildfire Coordinating Group. There is a lot of independent tasking when it comes to firefighting, Cappel said. Although firefighters are given a broad objective when addressing fires, it is often up to individual trucks and teams to develop a strategy to meet that objective. To get the Type 1 certification, a firefighter has to complete a task book, which Cappel said is essentially a checklist of tasks, such as being able to document weather out in the field with the proper tools and becoming a driver operator of brush trucks, a type of fire truck. “Once I went on the Cameron Peak Fire, that kind of spurred, ‘Hey, I’m already doing all these things and there’s a leadership opportunity here, and growth for me to better understand versus just kind of being told, ‘Here’s what we’re going to do,’” Cappel said about why she wanted to become a Type 1 firefighter. From August 2020 through April 2022, Cappel filled out her task book, and this April, she earned certification from the National Wildfire Coordinating Group and became the first female Type 1 wildland firefighter in Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office history. “There’s a commitment and a dedication that is beyond typical, and sacrifices, frankly, that have to be made in order to move up,” said Nathan Fogg, the emergency manager of Arapahoe County’s Office of Emergency Management, who also oversees the Wildland Fire Team. “Her desire to prove her dedication, demonstrate it and kind of set these standards and break trail for other folks, in what was historically a male-dominated profession, it shows a lot of drive [and] a lot of dedication,” Fogg said. Joining the Wildland Fire Team Cappel, a 35-year-old mother of three who lives in Castle Rock, has
worked for the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office for about 10 years, long before she considered becoming a firefighter. In her role as a deputy emergency manager for the Office of Emern gency Management, her primary day-to-day job, Cappel helps the l county prepare for, prevent, miti- f gate, respond to and recover from i human-caused or natural disasa ters. For example, when situations require it, Cappel will work in the w emergency operation center. The Office of Emergency Manage- b ment also helps oversee the Arapa- 2 fi hoe County Sheriff’s Office Wildt land Fire Team. The team has 21 firefighters from across county enti-c ties, Fogg said, and members have c volunteered to join the team as an a ancillary duty, meaning they have as different primary job in addition to r being a wildland firefighter. The Wildland Fire Team respondsa to fires in areas of unincorporated d Arapahoe County, where there is c not a designated fire jurisdiction, a and the team also assists other local firefighting agencies. There are typ- g ically six to 10 local fires a year that t the team responds to, in addition a to occasional state deployments to w a fires like the Cameron Peak Fire and Marshall Fire, Cappel said. Cappel first considered becoming s a firefighter after the July 2018 Tom fi Bay Fire east of Denver near Ben- d nett, saying, “It was actually one of p our fires … And it was considered a “ wildland interface fire, so we were s r approaching homes and we had f evacuations.” It was a chaotic experience for i her in the emergency operation center, she said, because she didn’t fi e understand the terminology the firefighters communicated on the c c radio channels. o “It was so hard to visualize because I hadn’t been in those shoes i p before,” she said. She wanted to understand the a terminology firefighters used so w she could better visualize these types of situations and determine t t the best ways to support their needs and think ahead for cascading incidents, she said. Wanting to learn in a hands-on way, she began attending some classes and training with firefighters on the Wildland Fire Team. Cappel officially joined the team as a trainee firefighter, classified as a Type 2 firefighter, in about April 2019, she said, after completing training and the “pack test” in which she had to complete a 3-mile journey in less than 45 minutes while carrying a 45-pound pack. She continued training and completing exercises, learning from experienced firefighters on the wildland team. The first fire she responded to was a fire in Deer Trail in August 2020, marking the start of her being able to complete the task book to become a Type 1 firefighter. Given her roles as both a deputy emergency manager and firefighter, it can be a “game day decision” whether Cappel will be in the emergency operation center or on the fire line, she said. Fogg, the county’s emergency manager, said Cappel’s decisionmaking style shows her to be a person who listens first and an unabashed decision maker who is comfortable with altering course as SEE FIREFIGHTER, P9

new information comes. “She’s flexible, she’s [a] solid listener and she’s decisive — all fantastic qualities that we’re looking for in emergency management and wildland firefighter,” Fogg said. Less than 10% of firefighters are women Firefighting has traditionally been a male-dominated field. In 2019, women made up 8% of the firefighter population, according to the National Fire Protection Association. In the Wildland Fire Team, composed of 21 firefighters, there are typically two to three women, said Fogg. Currently, there are two. Cappel said she wonders if stereotypes about being a firefighter are part of the reason it’s a maledominated field, saying the physical component of the job can be seen as a barrier. Overall, Cappel said, she has a great, supportive team, adding that if she has a question or needs additional support, her teammates will jump in and won’t think of it as a weakness. “I didn’t face too many hurdles,” she said, adding that many firefighters became like family during deployments, as they helped support and look out for one another. “It is just a little different. You stand around a briefing and you recognize that you are the only female.” One of the challenges Cappel did initially face was getting wildland firefighter personal protective equipment that fit her properly and comfortably. It’s important to have clothes that fit, Fogg said, because otherwise, the clothes can make it harder to work and affect one’s performance. “It didn’t exist,” Cappel said about firefighter gear fitted for women. She said she would have to order pants intended for men that would often come up to her
rib cage. When she finally found a manufacturer that made women’s cut pants, it was located in Oregon and would take eight to 10 weeks for the pants to get sewn. “It’s much better now because manufacturers are actually creating women’s sizing and women’s cuts,” she said, saying she now has properly fitted gear that is manufactured in Colorado. Similar to how the firefighting field is male-dominated, Cappel said there also are not many women in emergency management. “It’s not a widely diverse group,” she said. “It’s getting better with women in emergency management, but seeing that same thing on the fireline, kind of, both of them run parallel for me to want to encourage and mentor.” To help mentor others, she recently joined a newer group called Women in the Field of Emergency Management, WTFem.org for short. It’s an organization that helps mentor women interested in fields such as emergency management, waste management and public works. Cappel’s advice to other women and girls interested in firefighting is to talk to professionals in the field and learn more about what it’s like, whether it be during an open house session, a presentation or by directly reaching out to someone. “Dig your heels in and go for it,” she said. Looking ahead, she wants to continue to grow her mentorship of women and girls interested in the fields of emergency management and firefighting. She also aims to become more experienced in her Type 1 firefighter role, gaining skills that can apply to both her roles as a firefighter and a deputy emergency manager. With each step forward, it’s memories of fires like the Cameron Peak Fire that stay with her, driving her to learn more so that she can help better protect others. “Those were, kind of, experiences that will live with me for the rest of my career, and even beyond.”

SCHOOLS FROM PAGE 1
For the past two years, Congress has boosted school meal funding, which has allowed districts across the country to offer free food — breakfast and lunch — to children universally throughout the school year. Nationwide, an estimated 10 million more children received free meals under the program, which had previously been limited to income-eligible students. But for many districts, universal free meals have now ended after Congress failed to include billions in funding for the program in its $1.5 trillion 2022 budget. Free summer meals, another program that was able to greatly expand with Congress’ support, will be forced to shrink its outreach to just low-income areas following the funding cutoff. For districts like Englewood and Littleton Public Schools, it means having to contend with feeding fewer students as the rules around who can receive free and reduced food tightens. Nicole Withee, who coordinates Englewood’s free and reduced school meal program, said it comes at a time when more and more families feel financial stress. “The cost of living is sky-

rocketing, people have lost jobs during the pandemic and families are just in a real sensitive spot,” Withee said. “Those free meals were essential to kids’ success in schools.” Less federal funding may increase food insecurity The news that funding for universal meals was ending came as a shock to Withee. While attending a conference in mid-March in Washington, D.C., Withee and her
colleagues were told that Congress had failed to reach an agreement to include billions in COVID-related aid in its latest spending bill. Free meals were now off the table. Jessica Gould, director of nutrition services for Littleton schools, was at that same conference and — when the news broke — she, Withee and other colleagues kicked their advocacy into high gear, meeting with lawmakers on Capitol Hill to

Though Gould said the program “had support in Colorado” among Republicans and Democrats, it wasn’t enough to reverse Congress’ decision. “Food is a basic need, and our kids shouldn’t be caught in this political battle that is

and Littleton were able to waive the application process, providing free meals for all students. According to Withee, Englewood schools — a district of about 3,000 students — was able to serve around 20,000 more meals, a 15% increase, this past school year compared to the school year before the pandemic began. Without the universal free meals, the district will likely see a more than 15% drop in the meals it serves this coming school year, according to Withee. Districts were also able to feed thousands more through their summer meal program, which was allowed to expand under pandemicera federal guidelines. Before COVID, schools were limited to just providing summer meals in low-income areas. But for the past two years, districts have received enough federal funding to distribute food beyond just those areas. Gould said Littleton schools went from serving meals at just two sites to 25, with an increase of 400 average meals per day before COVID to 3,000 over the past two summers. This summer, the district is forced to return to just two sites for food distribution, meaning it will likely go from delivering 3,000 to 400 meals per day. With universal meals, Gould said the Littleton district — made up of about 15,000 students — saw about 3,000 more students receive a breakfast or lunch this school year compared to the years before the pandemic. “It breaks my heart to know that we just can’t operate the way that we were, and there are, guaranteed, families that are impacted by that,” Gould said. Taken together, the end of universal meals and tightening of summer food distribution could result in a rise in food insecurity not just in Englewood and Littleton but nationwide. “We’re going to feel the impacts of it now,” said Joel McClurg, policy and communication manager for Hunger Free Colorado, a food advocacy group. “In every community conversation I am having, I feel so much anxiety from community members.” In Arapahoe County, where the two districts serve a combined 18,000 students, food insecurity is on the rise. According to county spokesperson Luc Hatlestad, Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program — or SNAP — users in the county have increased from 25,032 in March 2021 to 27,218 this March. SNAP was formerly known as food stamps. Food bank organizers have also cited an increase in people coming to them for food. Todd McPherson, director of development for Integrated Family Community Services — one of the largest food banks in the Denver metro area and located near Englewood — said between January and May, the food bank is expected to have served more than 27,000 people. That’s a 111% increase from the same time last year when the food bank served about 24,300 people, according to McPherson.
Universal meals improve students’ wellbeing, avoid stigma For Englewood and Littleton students, the effects of having universal meals have been noticeable. “They would come in excited in the morning; they would go to class happier,” Withee said. Along with better academic performance, Gould said studies have shown major social and emotional benefits for students who have been fed at school over the past two years. She’s constantly reminded of something a district social worker told her about a student who, while eating one of his first free breakfasts, said, “this is the first time in a long time when I have felt full going to school.” For students living in food-insecure households, school can be where they get most of their daily food and nutrition. Ending the need for applications and providing free food universally also helps reduce the stigma of food insecurity, Gould said. “There are students that have a need for food … and that can be very uncomfortable when all of your peers don’t have that need,” Gould said. “Those kids who may not have wanted to grab a lunch because they didn’t want their peers to know they needed it, they came, and they ate and they nourished themselves.” A return to applications could

said the district is taking on more costs — from raising staff pay to meeting the increased price of food — that may force schools to charge more for breakfasts and lunches. “We don’t know what we’re looking at when we go into next year,” Gould said. Lacking a federal solution, Colorado may try to bring back universal free meals to schools statewide this November when voters will be asked to fund a $100 million program. HB22-1414 will ask voters to limit tax deductions for Coloradoans earning $300,000 per year or more to raise funds for universal free school meals. Still, the language of the bill is complex and implementing the program could be a challenge for districts, said Gould, who believes the proposal is “not a one-stop-shop” but is “creating the right conversation” around how to get free food to children. Ultimately, Gould and Withee said it will take renewed federal support for districts to deliver for their students. “It should be free meals for all forever; it shouldn’t just be a waiver,” Withee said. “Until the government realizes that our kids matter and their educational success matters and part of that is having access to these meals,” Gould said. “We just have to get food to kids.”

also shut the door on many families in need, according to McClurg. Families with sensitive immigrant or documentation statuses may be dismayed from filling out an application, he said. And families who do aren’t guaranteed they’ll be approved. McClurg said the “means-based” approach of the applications, which requires families to meet a certain income threshold, means that families making even a dollar more than what is required would be ineligible for any free and reduced food. “By making that extra dollar, you’re missing out on hundreds of meals per year, maybe even thousands,” McClurg said. “How devastating for a family.” According to Withee, a family of four has to make less than $49,025 to qualify for reduced-price meal benefits and even less to qualify for free benefits. Another concern for nutrition advocates as the 2022-23 school year approaches is families incurring meal debt. “Not all of our families know that we will go back to charging based on status,” Gould said, adding that Littleton schools will still serve students food but a family that can’t pay upfront may go in debt to the district to cover that cost. And as inflation continues, Gould

Dreading the bubble
I
t’s that time of year where we start reviewing the ballot and working to decide who might be best to serve us on the local, state and federal levels. For me, it’s become the time where I dread filling in the bubbles. FROM THE I still believe in voting. I EDITOR truly believe it’s important to vote and get my opinions out there. However, given the current state of our political climate, I dread it. I dread it because it’s becoming harder to even see which candidates are looking for the job to actually do good work, or if they are just spreading a Thelma Grimes party message, being vindictive and acting like children. I, like many, am tired of the self-serving politicians who, as soon as they are elected, forget about the job they are there to do and immediately stand on a side and fight. To the politicians in office — you are not elected to just represent a side. You see, once in office, you are there to represent all your constituents — even the ones who did not vote for you. To the voters — If you are filling in a bubble based solely on a party line — What good does that do? In an interesting discussion with a friend recently, I said I was tired of the same people constantly getting reelected. I would like to see the career politicians go. That means Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, Mitch McConnell, Ted Cruz. In all honesty, I would also like to see some of the newer ones go — the AOCs, and Lauren Boeberts for instance. I would like all of them out. I was saying I do not understand how they continue to get reelected when clearly they are not doing good work. My friend brought up a valid, yet interesting point, saying, “It’s better to vote for the devil you know.” Honestly, there is a lot of truth to his statement. Incumbents continue to be returned to office because of fear for voting for change. In Pelosi’s case, she continues to get reelected because she’s the one they know on the side that California district trusts more. While there may not be a lot of trust or approval, for many, it’s better than the untested challenger on the other side of the aisle. That has led us to the current issues. Every two years a new party takes over with the main leaders being reelected and kept in place. While the tide might change from red to blue every few years, nothing really changes. If we could get a good, unaffiliated candidate — I would give it serious thought. Am I always right in the vote I cast? Absolutely not. I do find myself disappointed more often than I used to be. However, I am always positive I did my best to research, understand and pick the candidate who I believe will represent the people – all people.

with inconsistent coverage and an ever-changing cast of interpreters that results in a lack of trust and impaired learning for the Littleton students we work with. In my five years with the district, at least 10 interpreters have come and gone, many not even lasting a full semester.

he origin of “burning bridges” has its roots in ancient Rome. And we see where they were not only burning the bridges, but also burning the boats. In some cases, they burned the bridges and the boats so the enemy could not pursue them. And in other cases, they burned both bridge and boat so they enemy could not flee. Throughout our journey in this life, we have all heard the expression or received guidance around burning bridges. It’s interesting because sometimes we are encouraged not to burn the bridges, and other times people may suggest that we burn the bridges behind us. In a recent conversation this topic came up and it was fun, but also a bit polarizing for the group as there were very strong

The list of quotes started out with some very strong feelings about why we should burn the bridges behind us. “Sometimes burning bridges isn’t a bad thing. It prevents you from going back to a place you should never have been to begin with.” — Anonymous While others support not burning bridges such as the person who anonymously made this statement, “The bridge you burn today may be the one you have to cross tomorrow.” For me, if at all possible, I prefer not

The skinny mom
currently coach a volleyball team. When meeting with one of the parents, I mentioned that I had four kids. She promptly looked me up and MOTHER down and said, “Wow. I thought MUSINGS women with that many kids were supposed to let themselves go!” I’m guessing she was implying that I looked slimmer than she expected for giving birth four times. Stacey Carruth And despite my understanding of what she was trying to do, I was frustrated. I never had a “skinny” body. I always had a healthy layer of chub growing up, which only increased in my college years. I have many
memories of kids in elementary and middle school calling me “fat” or “the Pillsbury dough girl.” Since then, I’ve attached being liked and having friends to my weight. I started having children in my early 20s. Obviously, my weight fluctuated a lot in the nine years of bearing and nursing four babies. To no one’s surprise, my body always got more compliments or attention when I was thinner than when I was heavier. Currently, I am at the lowest weight I’ve been since middle school. I’ve been at this weight since 2018. But there’s a reason for this: genetics, time and money. I spent that year carefully planning my workouts to be a balance of weights and cardio. I went to the gym for two hours daily. The gym had a daycare for my four kids. I hired a health coach. I bought meal plans and apps.
And I had the money and availability to do all of these things at the same time. And it paid off! I had chiseled arms and low enough body fat to get lots of attention. The first thing out of people’s mouths were, “wow, you look so good!”, “Your face! It’s all gone!” You look good You look good You look good But it didn’t make me feel good. This may sound weird, but that attention and those compliments REALLY bothered me. To be honest, I thought I looked good before. So now I wondered, what was everyone thinking before I lost weight? Here’s another thing, I didn’t feel any different. My body still looked the same in the mirror to me, just smaller. I still nitpicked at myself
every time I looked at it. Instead of enjoying it, like I promised myself I would do for so many years if I lost the weight, I just looked for the next thing that needed to change … there was always something. The only thing that my appearance demonstrated was where I spent my time. When I was working on my body, I was not working on my writing, I did not have a career, I wasn’t reading, I wasn’t going to school, I wasn’t starting a new business, I wasn’t taking care of an elderly parent, I wasn’t dealing with a mental illness, I wasn’t unemployed, I wasn’t training ill-behaved dogs, I wasn’t volunteering with refugees and I wasn’t traveling. There are trade-offs. And just because you choose something else besides having chiseled arms, it

you have visited Disney, you have probably taken a ride through the attraction named after the song, and you probably couldn’t get the song out of your head for the rest of the day. There was no internet in 1963, nor was there any social media. Access to information was limited to what we saw in the newspaper, watched on television, or listened to on the radio. Today, we have instant access to information and can reach people in a matter of a few clicks, creating a very small world. This is important when it comes to burning bridges because when we burn a bridge, the boat, and leave scorched earth behind us because of one person, group of people, or company, we could also be burning bridges with everyone that is associated or connected to someone else that we may want to get to know, or a place where we are hoping to work, or even a referral where we are trying to make a sale. I am not suggesting that anyone compromise their integrity or their position just to appease others. What I am suggesting is that perhaps we can try an alternate approach because we, or someone we know, may really need that bridge again one day. Romans 12:8 — “Do all that you can to live at peace with everyone.”
How about you? Do you prefer to burn the bridges or build the bridges? I would love to hear your story at mnorton@xinnix.com, and when we realize that when we leave roads, bridges, and doors open for the future, it really will be
a better than good year.

to burn the bridges behind me. I do agree where there are times when moving ahead and never looking back makes sense. But before I do that, I would really rather preserve the opportunity to save a relationship, resolve a conflict, or just maintain the potential for a better outcome in the future. Just because we disagree today, doesn’t mean we will disagree tomorrow. The intensity of opinions has created a heightened state of awareness when it comes to burning or not burning bridges. And unfortunately, sadly, it has escalated into not just burning bridges and burning the boats but leaving nothing but scorched earth behind when conflict or disagreements arise. I always wonder why there is a need to take this route. I understand that people have very strong feelings and opinions, and those feelings and opinions may not line up with our own. However, if there is no room to find middle ground on a given topic, there could be an opportunity to work together or to help one another in the future. The song, “It’s a Small World (After All)” was written in 1963. If

One key way to improve the education and quality of services for our students would be for the LPS board to grant union recognition to interpreters. As credentialed professionals with associate or bachelor’s degrees, national performance/skills exams and 60-plus hours of continuing education credits, we should be given a real seat at the table and categorized with other licensed staffers who do have union rights. Recognizing us — either as our own union or as a part of the already-established Littleton Education Association — will allow interpreters to exert greater autonomy over our profession, building consistency and higher quality
learning environments for Littleton students. Research shows that the key to academic success for deaf/hard-ofhearing students is the educational interpreter who communicates the material being taught, not the quality of teaching. The same study found that educational interpreters are “shortchanged by the education system,” leading to these professionals cycling out of districts at an alarming rate and ultimately our students losing out. But we need your help to change the system. If you agree our students deserve better, please ask the LPS board to approve an interpreter union. And if you feel inspired, please join us in August at the next board meeting to share your thoughts during personal comment. Summer Lapp Aurora

OBITUARIES CURRIER
Patrick James “PJ” Currier June 15, 1984 - June 10, 2022
Proudly and famously born in Detroit, Michigan (unlike his siblings, he would be quick to point out), Patrick James Currier, namesake of his great grandfather, who once played craps with Jimmy Hoffa, was born June 15th, 1984, very premature. Though he was small, he was mighty. Known to his family from a young age as PJ, by his friends as Patrick, Pat, and Rabbi, passed away from pneumonia in the early hours of June 10th, 5 days shy of his birthday. Patrick was a kindhearted, if troubled soul who gave his everything, at any time, every single time for those he loved; often at great personal sacrifice to himself. He was a man with a code.
He loved Detroit, Colorado, the Red Wings, Miguel Cabrera, Marvel, a good conversation over a drink and a smoke, his friends, and his dogs. He hated the state of Florida, bad drivers, and idiots. He is survived by his mother, Susan Currier of FL, his father Dennis Currier of TX, his brother Thomas Currier of TX, his sister Kaylin Weihs of CA, his sister Jean Williams of CO, his sister Casey Currier of NY, his beloved dog Odin, and countless friends and family across the country. Memorial contributions can be to his favorite charity, St. Baldrick’s. Future memorial services to be held in Michigan and Florida.

ver wanted to take a road trip across the state without slogging through an hours-long drive on highways? Residents can let public transportation take the wheel on trips to places near and far, including a new long-distance shuttle line that runs from the Denver area to places such as Idaho Springs, Frisco and Vail. Other bus routes can take you to Fort Collins, Longmont, Colorado Springs and even Grand Junction. And public transportation can also take you to some destinations in the suburbs you may not be familiar with. Here’s a look at the public transportation routes that run through these places and more — with a rundown of some attractions along the way. RTD in the suburbs You might not think twice when you watch a Regional Transportation District, or RTD, bus roll past, but the bus and rail systems can drop riders close to many scenic areas around town. Olde Town Arvada, for example, sits along the RTD G Line, a commuter rail line that runs between Union Station in the downtown Denver area and Wheat Ridge. As opposed to RTD’s light rail lines, the commuter rail lines travel at faster speeds. The historical atmosphere and “social hub” feeling in Olde Town Arvada — near Ralston Road and Wadsworth Boulevard — make it a great place to visit, said Austin Nettleton, a RTD spokesperson. “That’s pretty much one of my favorite spots to go to — there’s so many cool food and drink places,” said Nettleton, who used to live near that area, in Broomfield, and would go down to the RTD Olde Town Arvada station. Meanwhile, the N Line can take you from Denver through the north and east suburbs of Commerce City, Thornton and North-

glenn. The N rail line largely weaves through residential areas, but the Northglenn-112th Station — near York Street and 112th Avenue — sits within walking distance of Carpenter Park, a place that offers a laundry list of activities. “They’ve got a pretty cool skate park there (and) a huge outdoor park. A boathouse, you can rent those little paddle boats. And they’ve got a huge rec center there too,” Nettleton said. (Paddle boats have been unavailable due to a staffing shortage, the City of Thornton’s website said as of June 12.) Other Carpenter Park amenities include a carousel, horseshoe pits, sand volleyball courts and a “sprayground” with a spray pad for enjoying in warm weather, according to Thornton’s website. Near Denver’s southeast edge sits RTD’s Dayton Station along Interstate 225, where riders can exit at a trail connection that leads to Cherry Creek State Park. “There’s even a bridge that goes across 225 to take you to the mountain bike trails,” Nettleton said, referring to a mountain bike skills area along the paths. Another destination in the suburbs is Fiddler’s Green Amphitheatre, a large outdoor concert venue a short walk from RTD’s Arapahoe at Village Center light rail station. The venue in Greenwood Village hosts well-known music artists and sits close to Arapahoe Road and Interstate 25. Those who don’t live close to a rail station can bike, take a ride-sharing service such as Lyft or catch an RTD bus to get to a station. Getting farther north If you’ve been to Boulder, you may have seen the FLEX bus, a non-RTD transit line that serves several places in Colorado’s northern Front Range corridor. The FLEX route includes stops between Fort Collins, Loveland, Berthoud, Longmont and Boulder. It’s operated by Transfort, a part of the City of Fort Collins government. SEE TRANSPORT, P15
In light of changing federal mask policy for transportation, masks might not be required in your area on public transit. Austin Nettleton, a spokesperson for RTD in Denver and surrounding areas, said masks are not required for all passengers and drivers on RTD transportation. “We encourage and recommend facial coverings, but they are not required or enforced for employees and customers,” Nettleton said. Anna Russo, a spokesperson
for the Transfort transit system in Fort Collins that extends to Boulder, also said masks are not required for all passengers and drivers. “We do encourage people to wear masks, but it’s not a requirement,” Russo said. “We ask that you don’t ride Transfort if you have COVID symptoms,” she added. Bob Wilson, a Colorado Department of Transportation spokesperson, said passengers are not required to wear masks but drivers are on Bustang routes.
The FLEX bus route that runs between Fort Collins, Loveland, Berthoud, Longmont and Boulder is currently “fare free.” “So someone could board the FLEX in Boulder and get all the way up to Fort Collins for free,” said Anna Russo, a spokesperson for Transfort, the part of the City of Fort Collins government that operates FLEX. All the routes that are operated by Transfort, which includes FLEX and MAX and the numbered routes in Fort Collins, are currently free, according to Russo. Transfort started providing service for free around spring 2020 when the COVID-19 pandemic reached Colorado, Russo said. It was an effort to “help with the pandemic and just support people who might need some financial assistance getting around town,” Russo said. “But then we’ve just continued it through up until now. We might go back to charging fares in the future, but at this time, we don’t have a date for that.” Officials are conducting a study of Transfort’s revenue sources and costs, and they are looking at the feasibility of continuing to operate fare free permanently, but it’s still unclear, Russo said.

See mobile apps that can help with riding RTD at rtd-denver. com/business-center/openspatial-data/mobile-apps. The RTD Mobile Ticketing app, for example, lets riders buy and use Day Passes instantly on their phones. Asked about the most costeffective way to ride, Austin Nettleton, a spokesperson for RTD, “highly recommends” getting the regional/ airport day pass. It’s $10.50 for adults and allows people to ride any bus or rail line and make as many transfers as they want for the entire service day, Nettleton said.

“Downtown Fort Collins is full of history, and the sugar beet industry was big in town,” said Anna Russo, a spokesperson for Transfort. Downtown Fort Collins is also known as one of the places that inspired Disneyland’s Main Street USA, according to Russo. Visitors can take a self-guided walking tour of downtown’s history, learning about the “architecture, wild characters and iconic historic sites,” according to the tourism website VisitFtCollins.com. If you’re seeking some color, you can swing by Colorado State University’s Annual Flower Trial Garden. The purpose of the trial garden program is to evaluate the performance of different annual plant cultivars under the unique Rocky Mountain environmental conditions, according to CSU’s website. “They plant different varieties and different colors of annual flowers, and it’s open to the public. You can walk through them and look,” Russo said. Nearby in Loveland, visitors can check out the Loveland Museum of Art and History, the Benson Sculpture Garden and the Swim Beach area at Lake Loveland. “And they can get to those destinations by transferring to City of Loveland transportation from the FLEX,” Russo said. In the Boulder area, the FLEX line ends at the University of Colorado Boulder campus. “So that’s a nice area to walk around, and there’s also a museum of natural history on their campus,” Russo said. Another type of long-distance transit, Bustang, managed by the

65 and older, individuals with disabilities and Medicare recipi-
Colorado Department of Transportation, also connects to the FLEX. Bustang buses “do pick up at our downtown Fort Collins transit center and the Harmony transfer center at Harmony (Road) and I-25,” Russo said. That’s another way people coming from the south could connect to transportation in Fort Collins, she said. Ways to traverse the state CDOT’s Bustang routes make up a network of paths that run through northern, western, southern and part of eastern Colorado. Bustang routes go between Fort Collins and Denver, Grand Junction and Denver and Colorado Springs and Denver, according to the service’s website. Additionally, the “Bustang Outrider” routes go between Lamar, Pueblo and Colorado Springs; Alamosa and Pueblo; Durango and Grand Junction; Crested Butte and Denver; Craig and Denver; and Telluride and Grand Junction, according to the website. Just last month, the state launched another option for travel along the Interstate 70 mountain corridor with the introduction of Pegasus, CDOT’s new express shuttle that began providing passenger service May 27. Pegasus was to depart year-round from Union Station in Denver, stopping at the Denver Federal Center in Lakewood along with stops in Idaho Springs, Frisco, Vail and Avon, according to a CDOT news release. A Pegasus shuttle seats up to 11 people, is wheelchair accessible and is equipped with USB ports, power outlets and Wi-Fi. Each vehicle also has luggage storage, bike racks and ski or snowboard containers, according to the news release. Each Bustang bus is equipped
with a restroom, bike racks, free Wi-Fi, power outlets and USB ports, and there are also a wheelchair lift and two wheelchair securement areas on each bus, according to the Bustang website. Pegasus service runs on weekends, but CDOT plans to expand it to daily service although there isn’t a set date for that yet, said Bob Wilson, a CDOT spokesperson. The many CDOT routes offer opportunities to explore Colorado’s mountain towns, Wilson said, along with chances to take care of more practical matters. “It provides people an opportunity if you’re living in Craig, for instance, if you need to see a doctor, you’re able to do that in Denver,” Wilson said. During the Denver Broncos football season, riders can catch a “Bustang to Broncos” bus, Wilson said. It provides round-trip transportation from both Colorado Springs and Fort Collins to Empower Field at Mile High stadium in Denver. “So people can not worry about
ents, according to RTD’s website. The RTD Transit Watch app allows riders to report “unusual and suspicious” activities directly to transit police without having to make a phone call. Riders can also opt in to receive updates,
alerts and safety information, according to RTD’s website. RTD encourages riders to also dial 911 if there is an emergency, Nettleton said. For information on the Bustang and Pegasus routes offered by
drinking and driving,” Wilson said. The first Bustang route became operational in July 2015, Wilson said. It started off only running between Fort Collins and Denver, Colorado Springs and Denver, and Glenwood Springs and Denver, but over the last seven years, the service has expanded to more routes, Wilson said. “And expansion is expected to continue” as resources and funding allow, he added. Hearing demand from Front Range and rural areas of Colorado drove the creation of the Bustang service, Wilson said. “We had heard from a lot of people (that there was no) option to get from locations throughout the state to Denver” unless you had a car, Wilson said. Randy Wheelock, a Clear Creek County commissioner, welcomed the recent addition of the Bustang Pegasus route. “Whether addressing local air quality or climate change, or addressing both local and state mobility needs, we must transform how we use our roads,” Wheelock said in the news release. “Pegasus has the potential to be that transformational catalyst, helping us want to change how we travel and building ridership for a more thoughtful transportation future.” The state also offers the Snowstang service during the ski season, providing round-trip service on weekends and holidays from Denver to four resorts: Loveland Ski Area, Copper Mountain, Arapahoe Basin and Steamboat Resort and Howelsen Hill in Steamboat Springs, according to the Bustang website.

Perhaps readers have a neighbor who performs or a favorite nearby park location, but you may find that a favorite performer is playing across town and be drawn to visit. Most are free concerts and some require tickets in our communities from Castle Rock up to Lakewood. Take a bit of time to fill in the calendar. Kids can learn the joy of music as the sun sets and parents and grandparents already are aware. Perhaps visiting relatives will also be entertained. • Starting close to home for me will be the Littleton Museum concerts sponsored by the Friends of the

Oh, those summer nights at the Arvada Center
C
olorado is home to plenty of wellknown — even world famous — concert venues, but some of the best shows I’ve seen have been at the numerous venue gems sprinkled all over the metro area. Take the Arvada COMING Outdoor AmphitheATTRACTIONS Center’s ater, which provides some lovely summer night skylines without the massive queues and uphill climbs. The 2022 Summer Concert Series at the Arvada Center, 6901 Wadsworth Blvd., is one of the strongest yet, with local favorites that are part of the fabric of Clarke Reader summer — like the Colorado Symphony — and national touring acts like Dawes, Madeleine Peyroux and Melissa Etheridge. We spoke to Marcus E. Turner, director of communications and audience services at the center, about the season and what audiences can expect. Interview edited for brevity and clarity. What was it like to be planning a full series again? We have expanded this series to include more concerts than we’ve had in previous years. Concerts are not just an important aspect of the Arvada Center’s slate of programming but are a key component in the Denver metro cultural scene. It is exciting for us to play our part in adding a variety of different acts for concert lovers to experience the summer. Tell me about this year’s line-up. The concert lineup at the Arvada Center truly has something for everyone. By having national and international touring acts alongside some of our favorite local institutions, we create a unique season that crosses lots of genres.

Wander through an Unreal Garden A well created garden can be a truly aweinspiring thing. Enlku, a mixed reality company that has worked with brands like Meow Wolf and Outside Lands Music and Arts Festival, has taken that to another level with its The Unreal Garden immersive augmented reality (AR) experience. Visitors will get to discover animal characters in an interactive holographic story, “spanning the sky to the ocean, and the earth to outer space,” according to provided information. Located at 500 16th St. Mall, on the second floor of the Denver Pavilions, the virtual gardens are open from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. Sunday and Monday, and noon to 10 p.m. Wednesday through Saturday.

Clarke’s Concert of the Week — Fleet Foxes at Mission Ballroom There’s a kind of magic to the music Fleet Foxes make. The way Robin Pecknold and company layer their lilting vocals and intricate instrumentation can carry the listener away to some other world — a place full of trees and valleys, where all the seasons get their fullest expression. While we unfortunately don’t currently reside in that world, you can get there in a way by catching Fleet Foxes at 7:30 p.m. on June 28 at the Mission Ballroom, 4242 Wynkoop St. in Denver. Last year the band released one of the best live albums of the year in “A Very Lonely Solstice,” and I’m sure they’ll unveil another absolutely superb show on this tour.

Colorado hospitals scored 17th for COVID-19 response State ranked low on its handling of mental health crises
‘We have had some of the nation’s highest rates of adult and youth suicide. We’ve got an opioid epidemic on our hands. So we’re in a critical condition on the extreme side of things in so many ways.’
BY TONY GORMAN AND ALEJANDRO A. ALONSO GALVA CPR NEWS
Colorado hospitals’ response to COVID-19 ranked 17th among all 50 states and the District of Columbia, according to The Commonwealth Fund’s national health care scorecard, an annual report that ranks state health care systems on various metrics based on how well states provide high-quality, accessible and equitable health care. For the first time, the scorecard focused specifically on how well states managed COVID-19 from 2020 to early 2022. Anuj Mehta, a pulmonary care physician at Denver Health, told CPR in March while Colorado’s COVID-19 numbers are better in recent weeks than earlier in the pandemic, “most hospitals remain incredibly busy with non-COVID patients who are much sicker and tend to stay in the hospital for longer periods of time than before the pandemic.” He said health care systems across the state continue to face significant staffing issues, which may worsen as health care workers “finally take a moment to reflect on the immense psychological trauma they have suffered in the last two years.” Colorado ranked 12th in fully vaccinated adults who also received a booster dose with 44% of Colorado adults having received a vaccine and booster shot. The state also ranked 12th best in preventing excess deaths associated with COVID-19 with 281 deaths per 100,000 people in the state. The lowest COVID-19 metric was in the number of hospital shortages. Colorado hospitals went 59 days with shortages placing the state 28th nationally. Colorado ranked 12th overall in health care performance. Hawaii, Maine, Vermont, Washington and Oregon landed in the top five. Alabama, Oklahoma, Kentucky,

Mississippi and Georgia rounded out the bottom. The state saw its highest marks in hospital patient experience and fitness, but also in preventable hospitalizations. It also saw its highest improvements in hospital 30-day mortality, the number of adults who report fair or poor health and avoidable ER visits. However the good numbers came with some stark reminders of Colorado’s mental health crises. The state ranked among the worst at 45th in deaths by suicide, 46th in alcohol related deaths, which nearly doubled from 15 deaths per 100,000 people to 24 deaths per 100,000. The state also saw drug overdoses severely increase along with the rest of the nation. “We have had some of the nation’s highest rates of adult and youth suicide. We’ve got an opioid epidemic on our hands,” said Vincent Atchity, president and CEO of the nonprofit Mental Health

Playing golf and learning life lessons First Tee celebrates opening the Overland Park Junior Course BY CHRISTY STEADMAN CSTEADMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
It was barely a year ago when 16-year-old Layla Duong first put her hands on a golf club. Back then, she knew nothing of the sport. “Golf is for the rich,” she thought. “Golf is boring.” But in April 2021, through a friend’s encouragement, Duong applied for, and obtained, a job with First TeeColorado Rocky Mountains. Today, Duong serves as a First Tee junior coach and works directly with about 40 youth as their mentor. She plays golf on South High School’s varsity golf team and, being the first in her family to play golf, she is teaching them how to play the sport so it becomes something they can do together. “I have a deep passion for the sport now,” Duong said. “I will continue (playing) golf my whole life.” Though Duong has fallen in love with golf, it’s not just the sport that she enjoys so much — it’s being involved with First Tee. “I learned not only golf, but I learned how to be mentally strong, and how to stay true to myself,” Duong said. “As a minority, I thought I’d be looked at differently. I thought I would have to change myself in order to fit in. But everyone was very open and non-judgmental.” First Tee is a national foryouth nonprofit organization that was established 25 years ago. Youth get to play golf, but moreover, the organization creates learning experiences that build inner strength, self-confidence and resilience. “What First Tee does is use golf as a tool to educate youth, socially, academically and physically,” said Paula Purifoy, CEO of First TeeColorado Rocky Mountains. “We do a lot of mentoring — it’s so much more than golf.” The organization does this by instilling nine core values related to golf, which can be carried through a youth’s development. The core values are: Honesty - This encourages youth to honestly self report scores and penalties. Integrity - This pushes youth to be responsible for their own actions on the golf course, even when no

Sportsmanship - A value that teaches youth to observe the rules of play, and win or lose with grace. Respect - To show respect for oneself, playing partners, competitors, the golf course and traditions of the game. Confidence - Through being positive, this core value focuses on youth being more confident. Responsibility - The lesson is to allow youth to learn and take responsiblity for their own actions. Perseverance - Pushing youth to succeed in golf where players must continue through bad breaks and their own mistakes. Courtesy - Starting and ending a game of golf with a handshake among competitors. Judgment - Deciding strategy, and when to play safe and when to take a chance. Daniel Reeves has been with First Tee for 20 years, starting when he was 19. Today, he serves as the executive director of the local chapter. “We focus on making it fun and the relationships,” Reeves said, adding he enjoys seeing the youth grow up, become successful and, “creating as big of an opportunity as possible for others to help others.” First Tee-Colorado Rocky Mountains offers two primary programs — on course and in school/after school. The on course program runs for six weeks. It is a feebased program, but scholarships are available. The on course First Tee program is offered at 28 facilities across the state, with eight of them being in Denver, Purifoy said. The in school/after school program is free to families. Part of this program entails working with physical education teachers to provide the training, equipment and lesson plans for their students. First Tee’s school program is probably best known for

its Read `N’ Swing. Aiming at continued education, a student reads with a First Tee staffer or volunteer, then after quality reading time, students participate in a golf activity. Read `N’ Swing got its start at Columbine Elementary School, a Denver Public School located at 29th Avenue and Columbine Street, when the school was rated one of the lowest in the entire country for reading, Purifoy said. The program saw so much success that it has now been expanded to 55 schools in the Denver-metro area, Purifoy said. Headquartered at the City Park Golf Course in Denver, First Tee-Colorado Rocky Mountains is one of about 150 chapters located across
the U.S. There are also some chapters abroad. First Tee-Colorado Rocky Mountains is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year. “In the beginning, (First Tee) served about 200 kids at City Park,” Purifoy said. The program has grown since 2002. Citing 2019, Purifoy said, about 10,000 youth across the state are involved with First Tee annually. On May 12, First Tee celebrated the grand opening of the Overland Park Junior Course — an event that was postponed for two years because of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Prices, of Parker, attended the celebration. Their son, Judson, 10, has had golf lessons in the past, but it was not a favorable experience, Sandra Price said.
The family is now thinking about getting Judson involved with First Tee. “I like the fact that everyone is so engaged,” Sandra Price said. “And I like the community involvement.” The Overland Golf Course in Denver was established in 1895. For adult and more experienced golfers, the course boasts challenges to players of any skill level. Now with the junior course, Overland will be able to serve at least 500 youth, said Happy Haynes, executive director of Denver Parks & Recreation, at the May 12 event. “We’re creating new leaders in this community,” Haynes said. “Through the game of golf, kids are growing in every way you can think of.”

HCC-1, HCC-2, and HCC-3 have been drilled and are currently being used to supply water to ACWWA’s Joint Water Purification Plant (the “JWPP”) for treatment and potable uses. The 1996 conditional water rights may be used for all municipal uses, including all domestic, agricultural, industrial, commercial, irrigation, stockwatering, fire protection, recreation, fish and wildlife preservation and propagation, augmentation and exchange purposes, the replacement of depletions resulting from the use of water from other sources, and the recharge of Denver Basin aquifers, either by immediate application or by storage and subsequent application to said uses. No exchange is decreed herein, and any exchange of the 1996 conditional water rights may occur pursuant to a subsequent decree authorizing such exchange. If all out-of-priority depletions are fully augmented pursuant to the plan for augmentation decreed herein, then the 1996 conditional water rights may be used, reused, and successively used to extinction pursuant to the terms and conditions decreed herein. 3.6.2. Place of Use. Within the present and future boundaries and service area of ACWWA. ACWWA may also use the 1996 conditional water rights in the Upper Cherry Creek Water Users Association (“UCCWA”) plan for augmentation decreed in Case No. 01CW284 (“UCCWA Decree”) as described in paragraph 22.C of that decree, or outside the boundaries of ACWWA pursuant to existing agreements entered into prior to entry of this decree with nearby municipal water providers in the Cherry Creek basin, such as CWSD, as part of the joint use of the JWPP, IWSD, and Stonegate. The 1996 conditional water rights may be stored at Rueter-Hess Reservoir (pursuant to an agreement with Parker Water and Sanitation District) and Chambers Reservoir, or within the Denver Basin aquifer, as part of ACWWA’s aquifer storage recharge and recovery program pursuant to a separate future administrative approval or judicial decree. 3.6.3.

Date of Appropriation. December 8, 2010. 4.9. Amount. 96.0 acre-feet, conditional, with the right of continuous refills totaling 96.0 acre-feet in a given year, and a maximum inflow rate of 6.4 cfs for the storage right. 4.10. Types of Use. ACWWA plans to use Chambers Reservoir to store raw water to supply its nonpotable irrigation system and to make releases for augmentation. The water will be used for all municipal purposes, including domestic, agricultural, industrial, commercial, irrigation, augmentation, stock watering, recreation, fish and wildlife, and fire protection uses. Water may be produced for immediate application to beneficial use, for storage in the locations described in paragraph 3.8, above, or by aquifer storage and recovery, and subsequent application to beneficial use or release and re-diversion to storage, for exchange purposes, for replacement of depletions resulting from the use of water from other sources, and for all other augmentation and replacement purposes, including augmentation of not nontributary groundwater diversions. Water may be used, reused, and successively used to extinction and may be used by disposition to other parties described in paragraph 4.11, below, by sale, lease, trade, or other means. 4.11. Place of Use. The water may be used within the boundaries and service area of ACWWA as it exists now or may exist in the future. ACWWA may also use the water in the UCCWA Decree described in paragraph 22.C of that decree, or outside the boundaries of ACWWA pursuant to existing agreements entered into prior to entry of this decree with nearby municipal water providers in the Cherry Creek basin, such as CWSD, as part of the joint use of the JWPP, IWSD, and Stonegate. 5. Detailed Outline of Work Done For the Completion of the Conditional Appropriation and For Reasonable Diligence. For purposes of demonstrating diligence, work on one feature of the project or system shall be considered in finding that reasonable diligence has been shown in the development of all water rights conditionally decreed herein, and shall constitute diligence toward the development of each of the conditional water rights decreed herein. A detailed list of work done toward completion or for completion of the appropriations and application of water to a beneficial use as conditionally decreed includes, but is not limited to, the following:5.1. Well Maintenance. During this diligence period ACWWA spent approximately $6.6 million on repairs and maintenance and capital equipment for ACWWA’s water distribution system and wells. 5.2. Upper Cherry Creek Water Association. ACWWA is a member of UCCWA. UCCWA developed a very complex regional plan for augmentation, involving one conditional water storage right and one conditional appropriative right of exchange with several exchange-to and exchange-from points, which was originally decreed in Case No. 01CW284 on December 4, 2007. The water rights under the regional plan were continued as conditional and certain portions made absolute by the decree entered on October 21, 2015 in Case No. 13CW3184 by the Water Court. An application to continue the water rights as conditional and make certain portions absolute was filed by UCCWA on behalf of its members on October 29, 2021 in Case No. 21CW3197. ACWWA is currently operating under the UCCWA plan, and has expended substantial sums on engineering and legal fees in participating in the UCCWA regional plan. 5.3. Joint Water Purification Plant. During this diligence period, ACWWA and Cottonwood Water and Sanitation District (“CWSD”) made improvements at 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 entered in Case No. 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 increase and support the ability of ACWWA and CWSD to use the subject exchange. ACWWA expended approximately $8.2 million for the design and construction of the JWPP concentrate biological treatment system. 5.4. Lawn Irrigation Return Flow Analysis. In 2018, ACWWA’s engineering consultants prepared and submitted to the Division Engineer an analysis of lawn irrigation return flows throughout ACWWA’s service area pursuant to the decree entered in Case No. 86CW388(A). Said return flows will provide part of the physical and legal water supply for all of the structures and conditional water rights described herein. 5.5. Chambers Reservoir. During the subject diligence period, the Division of Water Resources Dam Safety Branch performed a final construction inspection 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. 5.6. Case No. 15CW3144. ACWWA was awarded a decree in Case No. 15CW3144, entered on February 8, 2018 by the Water Court, which contains findings of reasonable diligence for and made portions absolute of ACWWA’s conditional water rights decreed in Case No. 86CW388(A). These conditional rights are also part of ACWWA’s integrated water system. 5.7. ACWWA Flow Project. In 2009 ACWWA contracted with United Water and Sanitation District (“United”) and East Cherry Creek Valley Water & Sanitation District (“ECCV”) to develop the ACWWA Flow Project. When fully developed, this project will acquire, treat, and deliver 4,400 acre-feet of annual average yield water rights from ditch systems in the South Platte Basin to the 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 nonpotable 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 in Chambers Reservoir 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 (2018-2020); • Expansion of the North and South Booster Pump Stations (2018-2019); and • Construction of Deep Injection Well II (2018). 5.8. 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 Continued to Next Page

Public Notices Continued From Last Page: Page 2 of 2 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 Case No. 01CW284) and the augmentation of the use of those wells when not in priority to ensure that ACWWA has an efficient system. Therefore, the development of this planning document increases and supports ACWWA’s ability to use the subject exchange. 5.9. Protection of Water Rights. During the diligence period, ACWWA has been an active opposer in numerous Water Court cases involving Cherry Creek, in
which it seeks to protect its decreed and vested water rights. 5.10. ACWWA continues to rely upon and develop the conditional water right described herein and has no intent to abandon them. 6. Claim to Make Absolute. During this diligence period, ACWWA has made absolute portion of the following water rights: 6.1. Chambers Reservoir Storage Right. A total of 4.06 acre-feet was stored in priority from precipitation and local inflows on May 4-17, May 23, and May 29-June 3, 2021. 6.2. Braun Well. During the week of February 14-20, 2022 (UCCWA’s accounting week), ACWWA pumped (February 15-22) 32.58 acre-feet, or 4.07 acre-feet per day, assuming 8 days of pumping. This equates to 2.05 cfs/ day for the week. The original May 7, 1964 appropriation for the Braun Well was 1.33 cfs. Subtracting the original appropriation flowrate from the prorated max rate in February 2022 would leave 0.72 cfs made ab-
Water Court
solute as of the December 31, 1996 appropriation. 7. Names and addresses of owners of the land on which the structures are or will be located, upon which water is or will be stored, or upon which water is or will be placed to beneficial use. Applicant owns all the land on which the Cherry Creek Wells and Chambers Reservoir are located. Cottonwood Water & Sanitation District owns the land on which the Happy Canyon Wells are located, 2 Inverness Drive East, Suite 200 Englewood, Colorado 80112. WHEREFORE, ACWWA respectfully request that this Court enter an order finding that (1) 4.06 acre-feet of the 96.0 acre-feet of the Chambers Reservoir Water Storage Right has been made absolute, and 91.94 acre-feet is continued as conditional; (2) 1.02 cfs of 2.67 cfs of the Braun Well Conditional Water Right has been made absolute, and 1.65 cfs is continued as conditional; and (3) reasonable diligence has
been exercised in the development of the conditional water rights associated with the Cherry Creek Wells, Happy Canyon Creek Wells, and Chambers Reservoir Water Storage Right described herein, and such rights be continued as conditional.

These water rights were originally decreed by the Park County District Court on May 22, 1913 in Case No. 1678 for diversion from Deer Creek, a tributary of the North Fork for irrigation purposes. On December 30, 1993, in Case No. 84CW566, these water rights were changed to domestic, municipal, industrial, commercial, irrigation, recreational, and piscatorial purposes directly or by substitution, exchange or augmentation. In Case No. 10CW305, these water rights were included as a source of augmentation supply for CPW’s augmentation plan decreed therein for Staunton State Park and as a source of substitute supply for the exchange decreed therein. In Case No. 01CW284, these water rights were included as a source of augmentation supply for the augmentation plan decreed therein and as a source of substitute supply for the exchange decreed therein. vi. Use: Water stored by exchange in Cherry Creek Reservoir under this exchange may be used for recreation, commercial, and piscatorial uses within Cherry Creek Reservoir, commercial and irrigation purposes within Cherry Creek State Park, and for augmentation use under the augmentation plan decreed in Case No. 01CW284. 4.
