Castle Rock offering dog sledding, snowshoeing and ice-fishing excursions Town staff organize adventures in outdoor program

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

At 69-years-old, Chuck McCallon loves spending his retirement in the great outdoors, including exploring the many hiking trails near his hometown of Castle Rock.

So, when he saw information for group outings like hiking and snowshoeing guided by town staff from the Miller Activity Complex, he got involved.

“I was looking for another avenue to learn all of the trails nearby,” he said. “It’s been terrific.”

McCallon is now a regular

participant in the town’s outdoor programs. Coordinator Tarra Williams said she plans a number of events year-round, but the winter activities were well-attended in late 2018 and 2019. She came on board with Castle Rock mid-winter last year and didn’t have time to plan winter programming but made sure to offer options beginning in December 2018.

Excursions included ice fishing, snowshoeing, dog sledding, a ski trip and a visit to the Dillon Ice Castles. She plans to continue winter activities through mid-February but possibly longer if weather provides good conditions for the ice fishing, snowshoeing or sledding.

Williams typically chooses locations within Douglas County or at least within

an hour’s drive from Castle Rock. On Feb. 6, she took a group to Echo Lake for a snowshoeing adventure, one of six snowshoeing trips she executed this season.

“So far we’ve had a lot of success,” she said. “Everything that we’ve done so far people want to do.”

Williams said people of all ages and skill levels are able to come on the trips, although children may be limited in how they can participate certain activities.

For example, they can ride in the dog sled but cannot drive.

Overall, McCallon said the program helps him connect with other people in town who enjoy similar activities.

“I hope they keep it up,” McCallon said. “We get to do different stuff all the time and it’s a lot of fun.”

The outdoor cordinator for Castle Rock said people ranging in age and skill level are welcome to participate in the town’s outdoor program excursions.

The outings have included dog sledding, snowshoeing and ice fishing.

I was always willing to help our head trainer, so she decided to make me assistant trainer. While dogs are at camp for either day care or boarding I can work with them on basic obedience like sit, stay and leash manners. I think training is one of the most important things a person should do with their animals. It’s a great way to form a relationship with your dog and helps build a strong, reliable bond. I wish more people realized training takes a lot of work and consistency, and that training isn’t a one-and-done deal, you have to continue to train and challenge your dog to learn more things.

Hundreds of friends Working at Camp Bow Wow is super

rewarding. I get to build a relationship with every dog that comes to camp, and who else can say their friends with hundreds of dogs? If I’m having a bad day I come to work and snuggle and play with dogs all day, you can’t stay upset when you’re doing that!

In my free time…

Working full time and going to school full time doesn’t leave me with a lot of free time. I try to spend what time I do have playing and hiking with my pups, and spending time with friends and family.

Superintendent: Board should fire teacher at center of controversy Final decision has not been made in case that began with tweet

BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Following weeks of skepticism from many parents and taxpayers, Douglas County School District Superintendent Thomas Tucker has recommended that the school board should fire a middle school teacher whose controversial Twitter posts went viral.

Michelle Grissom, a seventh-grade social studies teacher at Mountain Ridge Middle School in Highlands Ranch, was put on paid leave Jan. 23, following her Jan. 20 tweet that called out a Kentucky student, claiming he had participated in a controversial rally in Washington, D.C. that made national headlines. The post referred to the student as training to be part of the “Hitler Youth.”

The student Grissom mentioned by name, however, was not actually at the rally.

Tucker formally recommended Grissom’s termination at a Feb. 5 school board meeting. Under Colorado law, Grissom may request a hearing on the basis of her termination

before a hearing officer, who would make a recommendation to the school board, according to a statement from Tucker.

“The DCSD Board of Education will be the final judge as to whether Ms. Grissom is retained or dismissed,” the statement says. “Therefore, the Board must preserve its impartiality, much like a judge in a civil or criminal matter would.”

While the dismissal process is ongoing, Tucker said, the school district will not provide further comment. In the meantime, Grissom will remain on paid leave.

The district’s handling of the process has outraged many community members. Before the Feb. 5 board meeting, outside of the district’s administrative building in Castle Rock, nearly two dozen protesters stood on the grass in bitter cold, holding signs and chanting in opposition to the school board.

At the previous school board meeting, deputies from Douglas County Sheriff ’s Office escorted a man from the building for addressing Grissom by name. The school board claimed the man violated district policy, prohibiting individuals from using specific district employee names during public comment.

The policy is in place to protect the district from possible litigation for defamation or slander, according to

school board and cabinet members.

“They cannot silence us,” Brad Wann, an outspoken parent from Highlands Ranch, said over a megaphone during the protest. “We are the parents, we are the taxpayers.”

The crowd followed with a chant: “This is our mic. This is our podium.

This is our school district.”

Grissom’s tweet referenced videos from a Washington rally that show a group of students — many wearing red, “Make America Great Again” hats — from Covington Catholic High School in Park Hills, Kentucky, hollering and cheering school chants while an Indigenous Peoples March took place. One of the students drew national attention by standing faceto-face with a Native American who was playing a drum.

The Kentucky students were in Washington for a March for Life anti-abortion rally.

After Grissom’s tweet that called out the student by name, the youth’s father responded to the post, stating that his son had been traveling for a basketball game at the time of the rally. The father asked Grissom to remove the post.

A chain of tweets back and forth ended in Grissom apologizing to the family for misidentifying the boy as a “racist and disrespectful student.”

The student’s father called Grissom’s behavior “totally abhorrent” and her

actions “inexcusable.”

Shannon Clarke, principal of Mountain Ridge Middle School, sent an email to parents on Jan. 23, confirming that “Michelle Grissom is currently on leave.”

Grissom — whose Twitter account has since been deleted — also served on the local teachers’ union. Kallie Leyba, president of Douglas County Federation, confirmed that Grissom resigned from her position on the union’s executive board the morning of Jan. 23.

On Jan. 25, Grissom emailed an apology to the family of the boy she mentioned in the tweet, a statement she also sent to media outlets. In her statement, Grissom expressed remorse for her actions and for not making a public apology sooner.

“I would like to formally apologize for tweets I posted on Saturday, 1/20...

I have not been able to make statements or comment on the matter, but I need for you to know how repentant I am about what happened,” the statement says. “As an educator, I care deeply for children and would never want to cause harm.”

At the Feb. 5 board meeting, following requests from several parents during public comment, school board President David Ray said the board would review district policy on public comment and social media use.

The theme in 2019 was “Vintage Hollywood,” made complete with a red-carpet entrance lined with “paparazzi” and glamorous décor.

While it was the first time attending for Eli Bergey and his daughters Teagan, 4, and Avery, 7, it was the third time for Eric Piperni and his 6-year-old daughter, Gabriella.

Teagan said her favorite part of the evening was dancing. For Piperni, it marked the latest year in a heartwarming tradition with friends.

Board ends mandatory expulsions of students for drug sales Revision to allow options is an effort to align with other disciplinary policy

BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Douglas County School District principals and school leaders are no longer automatically required to expel a student who is caught selling or distributing illegal drugs or alcohol in a school building or on school property.

The policy revision — unanimously approved by the school board Feb. 5 — is part of the board’s ongoing effort to update and align district policies.

In the fall, the board revised its existing expulsion and suspension policy to comply with state law. DCSD’s mandatory expulsion is still in place in cases of possession of weapons.

Passed in 2012, HB12-1345, the School Finance Act, eliminated mandatory expulsions for drugs, weapons, assaults and robbery. Under the law, grounds for suspension and expulsions changed from “shall” be grounds to “may” be grounds, according to the Colorado Department of Education.

The bill, signed into law by former Gov. John Hickenlooper, was an effort to prevent overly harsh penalties and allow school administrators and local

school boards, at their discretion, to determine appropriate disciplinary responses to incidents on a case-by-case basis, the Colorado Department of Education reports.

Douglas County School District staff presented the first reading of revised policy JICH, Student Involvement Regarding Drugs and Alcohol, at a Jan. 24 school board meeting. Under the policy, principals and school leaders can still expel a student, under appropriate circumstances. Under the revised policy, disciplinary actions could also include completing an approved drug or alcohol abuse rehabilitation program.

“I think this is a really good step in the correct direction,” board member Wendy Vogel said of the revision at the Jan. 24 board meeting. “If kids are afraid of getting expelled, they are not going to ask for help. I just think this is a good move.”

School board President David Ray reassured district staff and community members that the district is not getting “soft” in its policies.

But other parents support the decision, emphasizing that mandatory expulsion takes away a student’s due process.

DCSD sells bonds; funds to go toward capital needs

BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The Douglas County School District has announced the sale of $249.975 million in general-obligation bonds, approved by voters in last November’s election.

The Jan. 29 sale provides onetime funds for pressing capital needs, including security upgrades, facility repairs, classroom furnishings, buses and technology, according to a news release. For critical building repairs alone, the district estimates it will need between $152 million and $200 million over the next five years.

The bond sale is a “huge” step in the right direction for Douglas County, DCSD Chief Financial Officer Scott Smith said in the release.

“There was high demand in the marketplace for the school district’s bonds,” Smith said. “That, along with our strong credit rating, allowed us to secure a low interest rate and begin to move forward with much-needed improvements in our district.”

Total proceeds from the sale will

be approximately $289 million, the release says.

Because of DCSD’s credit strength and the current interest rate environment, the district’s bonds generated a premium, resulting in more funds for the district’s capital needs. The result of the sale does not impact DCSD’s pledge of a no-new-taxes bond, the school district assures.

Jason Simmons, DCSD’s financial adviser and the managing director at Hilltop Securities, said: “The structure of the bonds, combined with the high credit ratings of the Douglas County School District, generated significant interest from a broad group of investors, helping the school district achieve very favorable results that provide benefits to the district taxpayers.”

The bonds carry an “Aa1” rating from Moody’s and an “AA+” from Fitch. The district’s high credit quality is a result of “strong financial management practices and a robust tax base,” the release says.

DCSD was set to have access to the funds from the sale on Feb. 7.

It’s a plan rarely put into use, but it’s one of Castle Rock’s most important tools for responding to large-scale or serious events. The Incident Management Guidelines and Standards plan, sometimes called an emergency-operations plan, will go under review this year.

The document is Castle Rock’s handbook for any type of emergency or disaster, man-made or natural, from fires to tornadoes to cyberattacks. It establishes the chain of command, lays out who can declare emergencies or disasters, roles of each town department and how the town will work with county, state or federal agencies if it needs assistance.

Castle Rock’s version was first issued in 1999 and last put into full implementation in 2002, for the Hayman Fire, and was used in 2003 and 2006 when the town experienced serious snow events.

Fire Chief Norris Croom said the town is taking up the issue now after Douglas County updated its plan.

Douglas County’s Director of Emergency Operations Tim Johnson said their plan was last revised in 2016 and they are planning another update in September. Those changes included demographic updates and other county data and maps.

Updates to the plan at the town-level will mirror the county’s from 2016 and smaller updates made to the plan’s annexes since then, Croom said, and are not major.

“We want to ensure that our plan is in line with theirs,” he said.

As staff review the document, Croom said the town’s population influx in recent years won’t affect its basic procedures or concepts, because they’re designed to fit communities of various sizes.

“That’s the nice thing about an emergency-operations plan,” he said.

“Whether you’re 2,000 people or 200,000 people, the plan basically stays the same.”

Croom did not give an exact date for when the update will come before town council but said it’s coming at some point this year.

Castle Rock has reached a deal with an Emmy-award winning production company to relocate its headquarters to town.

The town council on Feb. 5 approved an economic assistance agreement with Dorsey Pictures. Councilmembers George Teal and Jess Loban were absent for the 5-0 vote. The company is currently located in south Jefferson County but plans to relocate its headquarters to 4700 Castleton Way and lease an 11,266-square-foot space.

Dorsey is a media production company known for shows on networks like HGTV and National Geographic.

It will bring with it 98 full-time employees to work and possibly live in Castle Rock and plans to hire 10 to 15 employees in the next two years.

Under the deal, Dorsey Pictures will receive between $2,000 and $3,000 for each job it creates or brings to town on a pay-for-performance basis, meaning it must provide the town information on job creation over the next two years before receiving incentive dollars. The agreement becomes effective on April 1 and is capped at $330,000.

“This is a really exciting day for economic development,” said Frank Gray, Castle Rock Economic Development Council president.

Dorsey originally looked into space at the Riverwalk development located near town hall and Festival Park. That mixed-use development project is slated to partially open this spring.

Gray said Dorsey’s board grew interested in the space at 4700 Castleton Way because it offered more square footage for the expanding company at a comparable price. He expects the company will relocate within the second quarter of 2019.

Councilmember Jason Bower said relocating Dorsey into the Riverwalk — which aims to fill the downtown core with people who live and work in the area — would have been a “home run” but the location it found is still a good move for the town.

Gray and Vice President Marcus Notheisen told council Dorsey qualifies for the town’s incentive program because it fits into a target industry as an IT or media company and is a primary employer. The town estimates 80 percent of residents commute outside of Castle Rock for work. The EDC has a goal of creating more jobs that keep people inside town borders.

“It’s so hard for us to compete with the Tech Center and these other areas that have office space,” said Councilmember James Townsend.

The EDC reports Castle Rock has a lower percent of per capita office space than that of similar communities, including Longmont, Parker and Golden. As part of the agreement, Dorsey will produce four promotional videos for the town.

“I look forward to seeing,” said Councilmember Kevin Bracken, “great work come out of Castle Rock.”

Business organizations celebrate merger at luncheon Football celeb Dave Logan talks about life on, off field

BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The theme of the Feb. 1 luncheon was “Better Together.”

Hundreds of small and large business owners, young professionals and elected officials from northwest Douglas County, seated around tables in the ballroom of the Denver Marriott at Park Meadows, embodied just that.

The luncheon marked the first time two of the county’s largest business organizations met as one.

In mid-January, the Northwest Douglas County Economic Development Corporation and the Chamber of Northwest Douglas County — previously the Highlands Ranch Chamber of Commerce — announced they would be joining forces.

Formed in 2011, the Northwest Douglas County Economic Development Corporation promotes infrastructure improvements and public policy and markets the region as a premier place to locate or expand a business, its website says.

Since its inception in 2000, the chamber has grown to 275 business memberships, representing more than 17,000 employees from Highlands Ranch and Lone Tree. The chamber offers networking events, educational

The two organizations will continue to operate with separate branding, memberships and programs, but will now operate as one administrative office. The Northwest Douglas County EDC Board of Directors will be the governing body for overall policy and management. Representatives from the chamber will serve on the board.

The Feb. 1 luncheon featured keynote speaker Dave Logan, a former NFL player with the Denver Broncos and Cleveland Browns. Logan now works as a broadcaster for KOA NewsRadio and head coach of Cherry Creek High School football.

Poll finds support for public lands protections Colorado voters back clean water, wildlife habitat

BY SHANNA FORTIER SFORTIER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Colorado residents continue to support efforts to keep public lands protected and accessible, according to the ninth annual Colorado College State of the Rockies Project Conservation in the West Poll, which was released Jan. 31 and presented at the Outdoor Retailer Snow Show in Denver.

The poll surveyed the views of voters in Colorado and seven other Mountain West states — Arizona, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Utah, and Wyoming — on policies impacting the use and protection of public lands. The role of public lands and the outdoor way of life continued to be of deep importance to Colorado voters, with 73 percent of Coloradans viewing themselves as “outdoor recreation enthusiasts” and 69 percent labeling themselves as “conservationists.”

For 73 percent of respondents in Colorado, the ability to live near, recreate on and enjoy public lands like national forests, parks and trails is a factor in why they live in the West.

An overwhelming majority — 90 percent — believe the outdoor economy is important to the future of Colorado.

“Our state’s mountains, rivers and prairies are the foundation of the Colorado way of life,” said Colorado Gov. Jared Polis. “Protecting our public lands not only strengthens our local economies by promoting outdoor recreation and tourism, it ensures that future generations will continue to have a vibrant place to live, work, start a business, raise a family and

The poll surveyed at least 400 registered voters in each of eight Western states for a total 3,204-person sample. The survey was conducted between Jan. 2-9, 2019 and has a margin of error of ±2.65 percent nationwide and ±4.9 percent statewide.

The full survey and individual state surveys are available on the State of the Rockies website. retire. This poll once again shows that Coloradans are adamant about protecting our natural spaces, reversing the harmful effects of climate change, and moving to a future of clean, affordable renewable energy.”

Talking policies When asked about the Trump administration’s agenda for public lands, the majority of Coloradans viewed actions taken over the past two years with strong disapproval. The highest disapproval came when asked about removing national monument protections from lands in the West that contain archaeological and Native American sites, but also have oil, gas and mineral deposits. In Colorado, 72 percent of those polled said this was a bad change. Additionally, 63 percent said removing Clean Water Act protections from smaller streams and seasonal wetlands was also a bad change.

POLL FROM PAGE 9

Corina McKendry, director of the State of the Rockies Project and an associate professor of political science at Colorado College, said that over the history of the Conservation in the West Poll, they have consistently seen bipartisan support for protecting public lands and outdoor spaces.

“That a leadership agenda out of step with those values is met with disapproval in Colorado is no surprise,” she said.

According to the poll, just 24 percent of Coloradans want Congress to ensure the production of more domestic energy by maximizing the amount of national public lands available for responsible oil and gas drilling and mining. That is compared to 65 percent who prefer Congress ensures the protection of clean water, air quality and wildlife habitat while providing opportunities to visit and recreate on national public lands.

In addition, 80 percent of Colorado respondents said they support Congress restoring the Land and Water Conservation Fund, which expired last September.

Water, wildfires and wildlife Impacts of uncontrollable wildfires and water issues topped the list of voter concerns this year.

Those concerns are associated with the impacts of climate change, which 62 percent of those polled

Protecting and restoring the health of rivers, lakes and streams got the most support from those polled along with managing forests to help prevent catastrophic wildfires. Both issues were given 83 percent support for funding. Conserving sensitive areas which the state has identified as critical wildlife habitats were also high with 75 percent supporting funding.

We hope they now take an opportunity to build bipartisan support on these issues.”

Authorities conduct ‘high-risk’ traffic stop near Castle Rock A suspect allegedly fired a weapon from their vehicle in possible road rage incident

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Law enforcement officers from the Douglas County Sheriff ’s Office, the Castle Rock Police Department and the Colorado State Patrol conducted what the sheriff ’s office called “a highrisk stop” on I-25 north of Castle Rock on Feb. 5 in which a suspect allegedly

fired a weapon from his vehicle.

No one was injured and there was no danger to the public, the sheriff ’s office said on Twitter shortly after 6 p.m.

An investigation was underway.

Spokesman Jose Uribe for the Douglas County Sheriff ’s Office said they believe the incident occurred between 5:30 and 5:45 p.m. and may be a case of road rage.

Law enforcement units sought the suspect after dispatchers received a report that someone fired a weapon from their vehicle, Uribe said.

The suspect has been apprehended.

Authorities do not know what he was firing at, Uribe said. No other information was available as of approximately 6:30 p.m.

Packed house for Stelth Ulvang Castle Rock concert of Lumineers band member preceded Super Bowl

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Stelth Ulvang may have worked as touring band member for The Lumineers since 2011, but he never stopped playing his own music — and the multi-instrumentalist brought his personal projects to Castle Rock on Feb. 3 for a show at Maddie’s Biergarten.

Ulvang released three albums in 2018, ranging from a more whimsical sound to darker content inspired by real-life experiences. The albums — two EPs and a full-length LP — are dubbed “Greetings from Perpetual Summer,” “And as Always the Infinite Cosmos” and “American Boredom.”

The Fort Collins native told Colorado Community Media while some music is rooted in his love for nature or based on past relationships, it also draws from experiences with serious issues, like losing friends to suicide or knowing loved ones who struggle with substance abuse.

Floyd Bacon, co-owner of Maddie’s, said it was a packed house for the matinee show, which preceded the 2019 Super Bowl. Many concertgoers stayed into the evening to watch the game.

Tyler Kellogg’s company State of Flux brought in Stelth Ulvang and Paul DeHaven for a show in Castle Rock on Feb. 3. Before running his booking company Kellogg was a drummer for Colorado band You Me and Apollo.

Stelth Ulvang of The Lumineers performed his personal music in Castle Rock on Feb. 3 at Maddie’s Biergarten.

The concert was free and preceded the Super Bowl that afternoon.

Stelth Ulvang is a touring bandmember of The Lumineers but brought his personal music to Castle Rock on Feb. 3. Ulvang release three albums in 2018. PHOTOS COURTESY OF 5280 FILMS

ennifer said, “I watched a great documentary about the Fyre Festival.”

I am systematically out of touch, with the hope and intention of keeping it that way. I told her I didn’t know what she was talking about.

Jennifer said it’s a Craig Marshall documentary about Smith influencers.

I looked into it “Influencer marketing identifies individuals who have influence over potential customers” (Wikipedia).

QUIET DESPERATION

Apparently it’s the latest marketing trend.

The doomed Fyre Festival didn’t do the concept any good. The organizers are facing eight lawsuits, and a smile on my face.

The festival was touted as a “luxury music festival,” scheduled to be held on Great Exuma, a Bahamian Island.

Concertgoers were promised luxury villas, but received FEMA tents instead.

And prepacked sandwiches.

There was another influencer story about a half-dressed woman who was not allowed to enter the Louvre because, well, she was half-dressed.

Her name is Newsha Syeh, and she has 238,000 followers.

Yahoo Lifestyles reported, “She wore

COMING NEXT WEEK Next week’s column will feature the winners of Craig Marshall Smith’s haiku contest. a low-cut black dress that stopped just below her seat and continued down to her ankles with sheer black material in unique patterns.”

She said, “Picasso would have loved my outfit.”

I don’t want to become 238,001 and rely on Syeh to assist me with anything, not even which way to drive on a oneway street.

However, over 3 billion people worldwide actively use social media, and

H LETTERS TO THE EDITOR A vote against bill If Mike Foote’s bill in the Colorado Legislature to make the popular vote count becomes law it will have exactly the opposite effect. Your vote won’t count, instead it will likely be overruled by the more populous states of our country. Imagine that Colorado votes for Candidate A and A wins the popular vote in our state, say 55 percent over Candidate B’s 45 percent.

votes despite how the state’s popular vote went. So much for the will of the voter — that is ignored.

While this may seem like a great idea if you disliked the outcome of the last presidential election, consider that it may not always go the way you want it to. Moreover, whichever way it does go, it minimizes the will of our Colorado voters and very likely makes their votes not matter. If that’s the case, why bother to vote?

they are regarded as a perfect audience for influencers, who guide their followers at decision-making time.

During my research, I kept seeing some of the same words and phrases over and over.

Influencers strive to “grow their channel.”

Influences should “look at analytics” in order to “grow their channel.”

Influencers should post “on a consistent schedule” to “grow their channel.”

I want to marry a lighthouse keeper, and keep her company.

This all sounds like a laugh track to me: a device that tells you when to laugh, even when something isn’t funny.

Noticing what we notice and looking for the good

ave you ever noticed what it is that you are actually paying attention to? For me, I recently realized that I was focusing on what was right in front of me and had lost a little of my peripheral vision and even a little of my peripheral perception. The bottom line, I stopped taking time to stop and see and smell the roses.

One of my excuses I like to use is called “travel immunity.” Meaning I travel so often that sometimes I become immune to what is going on around me, getting caught up in the rush and crush of my schedule. If you have ever been running a little late and trying to catch a flight or a connection and you are racing through the airport, you might know what I mean. It’s head down, shoulders tilted to slide between the people who are not in a rush, deftly maneuvering carry-on luggage and a laptop bag, while laser-focused on getting to the gate on time. It’s an excuse, and even though there is absolute truth in it, it is a bad excuse.

One of my personal goals for this year is to be on time more

often and not so rushed. To manage my calendar and my events and my customers so that I am fair to everyone.

WINNING But I am doing it mostly so that WORDS I can get back to noticing what it is that I actually notice. And not just in an airport but everywhere in my life.

I love to look for the good things, Michael Norton the inspiring people, the loving couples or families, the sunrise or sunset, the ocean, and someone who happens to be helping another person, especially when it is a perfect stranger. It’s like walking through the supermarket and seeing a shorter person trying to reach the top shelf to get a specific item and noticing when a much taller young man or woman stops by and asks if they could help them. You see, those are the things I want to notice, those are the things I choose to notice.

An update on how schools are spending voter-approved funds

L

ast November, members of the Douglas County community voted yes on ballot measures 5A (mill levy override) and 5B (bond) in a show of support for the 68,000 students and 8,100 staff members in the Douglas County School District. As promised, here is an update on how your tax dollars are being spent.

5A — Mill levy override ($40 million) Mill levy override (MLO) funding is generally used for operational needs such as salaries, staffing and student programming. Douglas County will collect the $40 million through property taxes each year.

Did you know that this tax increase is slightly lower than what was estimated and communicated prior to the election?

DCSD was conservative in estimating . assessed valuation across the county, as we would rather see a lower tax impact to individual homeowners than what they expected. The passage of 5A will result in a property tax increase amounting to an additional $43 per $100,000 of assessed home value for Douglas County homeowners.

Here is a look at how MLO funds have been utilized since the election: • Compensation There will be $17 million used for staff compensation and benefits (excluding superintendent and cabinet). DCSD is using these funds to make a positive impact on our employees regarding compensation. This helps begin to narrow the gap between our school district and neighboring districts, but we know there is still work to do and this process is ongoing.

SMITH FROM PAGE 12

It turns out, after years of (my) scrutiny, that people actually want to be told what to do, wear, buy, think and believe.

That’s why we have kings and gurus and prophets and motivational speakers, and it’s also why we have people who pretend to be kings, gurus, prophets and motivational speakers, to take advantage of our wills and wallets.

Maybe I have a calling for it and don’t know it. Unfortunately, I don’t have enough followers to be an influencer.

Influencers are required to have hundreds of thousands, or even millions, of followers.

But there may be hope. There is something called a “micro-influencer.”

Of course there is.

GUEST COLUMN

It is important to note that some DCSD staff also received pay increases in the months leading up to the passage of 5A. In addition, DCSD’s licensed staff (including teachers) who were continuously employed by DCSD since 2008 also received Thomas Tucker increases to compensate them for years in which they may have experienced a pay freeze. These adjustments were paid out at the beginning of the 2018-2019 school year. Each of these increases was taken into consideration when creating the compensation plan to be paid with MLO dollars.

• Mental health resources There will be $3.5 million used to add counselors at the elementary school level.

There will be $2.5 million used to reduce the middle and high school counselor-to-student ratio in DCSD. • Career and technical education There will be $2 million used to increase career and trade-focused student programming, and to hire certified staff members for Career and Technical Education courses.

• School-level funding There will be $7 million going toward school-level funding.

These funds will be distributed depending on individual school needs. This includes increasing funding for students who qualify for free or reduced lunch, and adding money for small schools.

• Charter schools

Micro-influencers can start to influence with as few as 10,000 followers.

My problem is my channel. I don’t have one. And I don’t know what my niche is.

But once I do, it will be just a matter of time before the saps come out.

As Ulysses Everett McGill (George Clooney) says in “O Brother, Where Art Thou?,” “Hard times bring out the saps.”

And these are hard times. It’s not easy making up your own mind anymore.

That’s where influencers come in.

Meanwhile on Instagram: Newsha Syeh said, “Angels run naked in my veins.”

Right, and mixed metaphors run naked in mine, where thin gruel always has something to hang its hat on.

hopeful that our Colorado Legislature will continue to be an example of bipartisan leadership, representing the best interests of its constituency. That goal is greatly undermined by a media (and therefore individual journalists) who report with a personal bias and agenda along party lines. Please contribute to a healthy, intelligent voting populace by providing straightforward reporting.

Kerry Workman Parker

Approximately $8 million of the MLO was passed through to DCSD charter schools on an equal, per-pupil basis.

5B — Bond ($250 million) As 5B was a no-new-taxes bond, homeowners will not see increased taxes for that ballot measure. 5B allows DCSD to sell $250 million in bonds to generate onetime funds for capital needs such as security upgrades, facility repairs, classroom furnishings, buses and technology.

DCSD set a budget that addresses a portion of Master Capital Plan needs at all schools built before 2008 (including charter schools), in addition to technology, furniture, support facilities, transportation and many other district-wide improvements.

DCSD will soon identify contractors to help with pre-construction efforts. Additionally, DCSD is identifying vendors for roof replacements, carpet replacements, athletic field improvements, bleacher replacements, fire alarm system upgrades,

door hardware security upgrades and mechanical control upgrades. Much of this work will take place this summer, when schools are mostly empty.

Mill Bond Oversight Committee DCSD is in the process of forming a community Mill Bond Oversight Ad-Hoc Committee (MBOC). The committee will be made up of community members who will ensure MLO/bond expenditures are in alignment with ballot language approved by voters and periodically report to the Board of Education the status of expenditures.

We are committed to keeping you updated on how mill levy override and bond funds are being used in DCSD. Please continue to visit www.dcsdk12. org/funding for the latest information.

Again, thank you for your support of our students and staff!

Thomas S. Tucker, Ph.D., is the superintendent of the Douglas County School District.

Performer interprets American treasure Maya Angelou

O

start to finish in Colorado, rather than shipping part of the production to Asia, like many companies in the industry.

“That’s important both in terms of the factory here and the environment in which we operate, versus a factory in Southeast Asia, where theres a lot less in the way of restriction,” Eynon said. “The energy is not produced in nearly as clean of a fashion as it is here.”

ne of the great AfricanAmerican figures of the 20th and 21st centuries is Maya Angelou, a poet, writer and speaker of quiet dignity and power. Though we lost her in 2014, her voice lives on in her work and the people she influenced.

One of those people is actor and scholar Becky Stone, who will be bringing Angelou to audiences with her Chautauqua presentations around the metro area as part of COMING HumaniATTRACTIONS Colorado ties’ Black History Live tour.

“The focus of my presentation will be on the power of words,” Stone, who lives in North Carolina, explained. “Reading and writing was such an important Clarke Reader part of her life, and I’m connecting her life stories to her writings.”

Stone will be presenting at four locations: 2 p.m. on Thursday, Feb. 21, at Bemis Public Library, 6014 Datura St. in Littleton; 2:30 p.m. on Saturday, Feb. 23 at Rodolfo “Corky” Gonzales Branch Library, 1498, N. Irving St.; 9:30 a.m. on Tuesday, Feb. 26 at Metropolitan State University Denver, 890 Aurora Parkway; and 12:30 p.m. on Thursday, Feb. 28 at the Community College of Aurora, 16000 E. CentreTech Parkway.

Being a Chautauqua scholar means that Stone will perform as Angelou — she’ll even take audience questions as the poet, only answering with information that is historically accurate and based on textual evidence. The research is one of Stone’s — who also performs as Harriet Tubman and Rosa Parks — favorite parts of being a Chautauqua Scholar. And there was plenty to learn about Angelou.

“As a performer I have to be honest with what I learned about her, and I’ve really grown to love her,” Stone said.

Stone’s main goal with these performances is to bring as full of a person as she can to life in front of the audience and allow them to connect with her.

“So many people loved her and I can feel that when I perform as her,” she said.

s sustainability becomes an increasingly important aspect of the outdoor recreation industry, one Colorado ski-gear company is making it a goal to offer the most eco-friendly, highperformance skis and snowboards in the business.

Meier Skis, located in Denver, manufactures skis and snowboards handcrafted from locally harvested aspen and beetle-kill pine trees.

“We picked the trees largely because of the number of them that are here in Colorado,” said Ted Eynon, owner of Meier. “They are the native species and there is sustainability around them.”

By not shipping trees in from other countries, it increases the sustainability of Meier’s skis, while the dryness of Colorado-grown aspens and pines also give the skis a light, poppy core.

“The wood core is really the heart and soul of the board,”Eynon said.

“We like to put it front and center.”

This is why Meier uses a clear top sheet on their boards — to show off

WHY: There’s a bar made out of Meier skis cores where you can sit and enjoy a local brew, and watch skis be pressed through large glass windows. Look, touch and flex Meier skis that are hot out of the press at the Denver factory.

the grains and color of the wood and the workmanship. This also allows Meier to use less ink in their production process.

“Ink is not the most environmentally friendly product in the world, so we use a lot less ink because we show more wood,” Eynon said. “Generally speaking, making skis is not an ecofriendly process, so we’re just trying to do what we can to help make them a bit more eco-friendly and a bit more sustainable.”

Meier is also reducing its carbon footprint by making the entire ski

Clarke’s Concert of the Week — Bob Seger at the Pepsi Center Bob Seger is the man behind so many classics that it almost boggles the mind. Let’s do (just a portion of) the list — “Against the Wind,” “Turn the Page,” and “Mainstreet.” And then there’s “Night Moves,” which I maintain is one of the best pop-rock songs ever written. It’s a hill I’m happily prepared to die on.

A slim volume called “Still Coming Home,” an anthology of written works by local military veterans, grew out of the Denver Veterans Writing Workshop, which started in 2014. It was inspired by former Chairman Will Adams of the National Endowment for the Humanities, a Vietnam veteran and philosophy scholar.

“Explore the experience of war through the lens of the humanities,” he suggested. Can a veteran truly come home? Writing can help, Adams said.

Veterans Jason Arment and Stephen Dunn asked Colorado Humanities for assistance with starting the Denver workshop in 2016. Because Colorado Humanities had recently been awarded an Arts in Society grant, funded by the Bonfils-Stanton Foundation, Colorado Creative Industries and the Hemera Foundation (Boulder), it was able to say yes, and the workshop started in 2016.

Centennial resident Kristine Otero has regularly attended the once-amonth Sunday afternoon sessions and plans to continue. Her memory piece in “Still Coming Home” is called “Out of Death: The Birth of a Combat Veteran.” It pushes into a reader’s mind and stays there.

We met for coffee and conversation recently.

Writing is what Otero needs to do, and a memoir of her war experiences is in process. She also is submitting short pieces regularly to 0-Dark-Thirty, an online magazine for the military, and elsewhere.

Otero served on active duty with the Army from 2003-07, then in the Texas National Guard until 2010, when she was honorably discharged.

She has an undergraduate degree in psychology from Liberty University and has started on a master’s degree in public administration through American Military University.

Her piece begins: “Prior to joining the Army, I existed as an extroverted, irresponsible girl of 22. I will refer to her as `she’ because we don’t have much in common except our shell … She was desperate, grasping at anything that would hold her long enough to trap her and save her from her life. A contractual obligation to the Army did just that.” And more …

“To be able to hide in the middle of a group only made me stronger.”

The articulate Otero, who is 5 feet tall and very slender — but all

muscle — lived in Germany for a couple years and was deployed to Iraq twice as a machine gunner.

A machine gun fortunately broke down into three pieces so she was able to get it mounted without assistance. “By the time we deployed to Iraq, my world was so small that all I could see were the front and rear gun trucks — of the convoy. Nothing else mattered.”

“Misogyny, sexism, gender inequality — it all exists in the military, but I tried not to let it affect me. For females, for me, this meant I had to try harder at everything.

I had to prove I was big enough, strong enough and tough enough mentally … My NCOs joked about selling me to the local nationals for a goat and two tomatoes. I only wanted one of the tomatoes …

“My battle buddy Joey Otero and I decided we loved each other enough to get married so that we could at least be together for the next few years, versus being stationed in separate places. Knowing I was lesbian, we agreed our marriage would be a partnership of two best friends, willing to try their hardest for each other.”

She credits him with saving her life. (They are no longer married, but remain close friends.)

“Having each other made the transition into the civilian world less shocking … Although I don’t know for sure where problems begin for veterans, I do know that very little of our thinking translates over to mundane life after combat. Almost immediately, I realized I operated in a fight-or-flight mode all the time. I operate in crisis mode all the time, but to the outside world it comes across as neurotic, a little obsessivecompulsive... In my PTSD brain, if everything is life or death, there is no room for error, no in-between.

Days must be regimented and follow a routine, a predetermined plan, and executed as if my survival depends on it …”

To her family, it seems “dramatic and unreasonable …”

As we spoke, Otero would periodically relax a bit, smile and speak happily of her fiancée and upcoming marriage — a wedding celebration at the beautiful Arvada Center is planned, and focus on that brings a change in her face and eyes. Close Army friends from across the country plan to be here with her — and Joey Otero will be her bridesmaid!

Contributors to the anthology have appeared at several locations in the area to share stories with an audience, including The Bookbar in Berkley. Also included is the Colorado Photographic Arts Center at 1070 Bannock St., where those who completed a 2018 Veterans Photographic Workshop series have exhibited work.

Otero and others will appear at March 2 at Ross Branch Library, 305 Milwaukee St., in Cherry Creek.

Now I am not saying turn a blind eye to everything else, If we see injustice we need to do something about it.

Even if it means we just go find help or call 911. What I am saying is that if we allow ourselves to focus on the bad things it can become addictive and the next thing we know, that is all we are noticing. We are the ones choosing to notice the negativity in the news or on the internet, the arguing, the barriers to success instead of the opportunities. I am simply making the choice not to allow my peripheral perception or vision to be corrupted. I would rather it be intentional about looking for the good.

Think about this question for just a moment, and ask yourself, “What is it that I am noticing these days?” Are you noticing more good than bad, or are you noticing more bad than good?

But you see, it’s more than that. It’s knowing what gives you energy and enjoyment and what drives your passion and purpose. And when we know what those things are, we plan on seeking them out and noticing them more and more. And likewise, when we know what drags us down and takes the wind out of or sales and drains us emotionally, we stop paying any attention to any of those at all.

So how about you? Are you choosing to allow yourself to focus on what your eyes see, what your ears hear, and what brings you positive energy?

I would love to hear your story at gotonorton@gmail.com, and when we pay attention to the good stuff, and pay more attention to noticing what we notice, it really will be a better than good week.

brands to introduce PrimaLoft Bio, the first 100 percent recycled, biodegradable synthetic apparel insulation and performance fabric. In tandem with Helly Hansen, Houdini, L.L.Bean, Norrøna and Vaude, apparel featuring PrimaLoft Bio will first debut at retail

in fall 2020, with some brands debuting styles in the following seasons.

They showed off concept styles at the Snow Show.

“We’ve collaborated with a community of brands that share our common sustainability values and goals,” said PrimaLoft president and CEO Mike Joyce. “It is a privilege to introduce PrimaLoft Bio with these respected companies — all of whom provided invaluable insight and feedback on this technology.

Together, we are establishing a new industry standard for environmentally conscious product design, sustainability best practices and transparency, to meet consumer demand.”

Made from 100 percent post-consumer recycled material, PrimaLoft Bio fibers break down when exposed to specific environments — such as a landfill or the ocean. PrimaLoft has enhanced the fibers to be more attractive to the naturally occurring microbes found in these environments so that they eat away at the fibers at a faster rate, returning the fabric or insulation to natural elements.

Fibers will only biodegrade when exposed to these naturally occurring microbes in landfills or bodies of water, thus, the insulation or fabric remains highly durable throughout its usable life cycle in a garment.

To date, PrimaLoft has saved 95 million plastic bottles from landfills and transformed them into premium

insulation technologies. The company’s goal is that by 2020, 90 percent of PrimaLoft insulation products will have at least 50 percent post-consumer recycled content, without compromising performance.

Shoes lock up carbon Increased sustainability and decreased environmental impact is something Canadian shoe company SOLE is aiming for as well. Researching new ways to increase the recycled content in their products led SOLE to natural cork. Cork pulls carbon out of the atmosphere and locks it away, and is also an excellent replacement for petroleum-based components.

Inspired by the potential of cork, SOLE launched the ReCORK program in 2008 and grew it into North America’s largest natural cork wine closure recycling program. The recycled wine corks are used as the primary material in a new footwear line, as well as a growing line of other consumer products. Since launching, they have collected and recycled close to 100 million corks from more than 3,000 cork-collection partners and planted more than 8,000 cork oak trees.

At Snow Snow, the company debuted its fall/winter 2019 line, which includes 12 new footwear styles that prioritize sustainability with the ReCORK recycled cork midsole, which is entirely biodegradable and sustainable. The line also uses algae-based Bloom Foam to partially replace petroleum-based materials. The alternative reduces environmental impact, while also removing harmful algal blooms from natural waterways.

Natural rubber, rice rubber, merino wool and bison fur insulation are also used in the new line.

“We believe we have a responsibility to each other and future generations to consider the impact our actions have on our environment,’ SOLE’s website reads. “We measure the impact we have on the earth and offset accordingly, eliminating our carbon footprint beyond carbon neutral, all the way to carbon negative.”

In the Denver metro area, there are about a dozen ReCORK cork drop-off locations.

Bud Light is touting that it doesn’t use corn syrup, but that doesn’t make it nutritionally much different from its competitors.

The best-selling beer in the U.S. ran a medieval-themed Super Bowl ad that mocked rivals Miller Lite and Coors Light for using the sweetener. Social media chatter over the ad got a boost when the National Corn Growers Association expressed its disapproval in a tweet.

Sweeteners and starches can be used in the fermenting process to make beers, even if little remains in the end product. In fact, 12-ounce cans of Bud Light and Miller Lite list zero grams of sugar, while Coors Light lists 1 gram. Each has around 100 calories, with carbs ranging from about 3 to 7 grams.

Bud Light uses rice instead of corn syrup in its fermenting process, but does it matter what type of starch or sweetener is used?

Harry Schuhmacher, editor of Beer Business Daily, said the

SPORTS STUDENT-ATHLETE STUDENT ATHLETE SPOTLIGHT

Q&A with Mara Powner Do you have any moments you look back on in your senior year?

There’s a ton of great memories, but one game particularly sticks out. Last year, when we played Ponderosa.

It was a winnable game for sure, and one of my teammates was shooting the ball real well and I was one assist short of the most assists in a game in Rock Canyon history. That’s one I’m pretty proud of.

T

Do you have any plans for after high school?

I’m between two universities right now: Colorado State and Cal Lutheran University.

I’m up in the air, but I’ll figure it out.

Do you have any plans to play basketball after high school?

Maybe, but I’m leaning more toward just focusing on my studies.

What do you want to study?

I want to study journalism and communication.

Do you have a favorite class?

I’m in a concurrent enrollment, college-level English class, which I really enjoy.

It’s a lot of hands-on writing and stuff on our own, so I really like that.

What does it mean to be the coach on the floor?

I definitely have to know not only where I need to be on every play, but where everyone else needs to be, which is challenging at times. If we get frustrated as a collective unit I just need to be the one that brings us back.

What’s the best piece of advice you’ve ever been given?

Always just push yourself to your best. I’ve had a lot of great coaches over the years through club, and every single one of them wanted to make sure everybody was giving their all all the time.

Wrestling moves ahead as basics stay the same

Mara Powner is a senior point guard for Rock Canyon High School basketball and describes herself as a “coach on the floor.”

She’s the team’s ‘spirit leader’ Rock Canyon’s Mara Powner is like a coach on the court

BY NICK PUCKETT NPUCKETT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

M

ara Powner is a true point guard. A coach on the floor who rarely misses minutes in a game, Powner prides herself on passing.

Powner sets the tone for the team in most games, and is usually the one to bring everyone else down to earth if things aren’t going exactly to plan.

Coach Becky Mudd calls her the team’s “spirit leader.” When she moves on to

college, she wants to study communications.

Her drive comes from what her coaches have instilled in her over the years: Fight to the end, and push yourself to be the best.

“I’m very passionate. I think of myself as the coach on the floor, and I’ve thought of myself like that for a while,” Powner said. “I always have to know what’s going on and be aware of everything.”

Have a suggestion for whom to feature in Student-Athlete Spotlight? Email Jim Benton at jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com

COACH’S TAKE: ‘Mara is our spirit leader. She’s a kid that everybody looks up to and loves playing with. She’s the most vocal player on our team and our main ballhandler. She is a super competitor. She’s intense and one of the best ballhandlers I’ve ever coached. She makes us go all the time. She’s the one pushing the tempo and being aggressive.’

Becky Mudd, Rock Canyon High School girls basketball coach

Key stats | Powner averages 7.7 points per game, 2.6 rebounds per game and 2.5 assists per game through 18 games as of Feb. 6.

om Beeson played football and wrestled at Denver’s Abraham Lincoln High School.

I ventured to the OVERTIME state wrestling tournament held at Englewood High School when my classmate Beeson captured the heavyweight title.

Regional state qualifying tournaments will Feb. 14-16 and large crowds will Jim Benton gather at the Pepsi Center for the Colorado High School Activities Association’s state wrestling championships on Feb. 21-23.

There have been some changes in the sport over the years but the basic sport of wrestling is the same.

“Wrestling is wrestling,” said former Ponderosa wrestling coach Tim Ottmann. “It’s the oldest sport in the world so I don’t think a whole lot of technical, practice drills or skills have change that much. The basics are still what you need to get you where you want to be along with being in shape and being strong. I don’t see a lot of techniques differences.”

Beeson agreed. “It is basically the same sport,” he said.

I also asked Columbine wrestling coach Ray Barron to join the State of Wrestling discussion, and from Beeson, Ottmann and Barron I got opinions from three coaches whose names dot the CHSAA wrestling record book.

Beeson went from Lincoln to play football and wrestle at Western State, where he won a Division II national title. He was a head wrestling coach for 35 years, including 29 seasons at Pomona as the school’s first wrestling coach. The 2019 Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference Hall of Fame inductee is listed among the state’s top coaches with 15 state individual champions and two state titles.

Ottmann is now the Ponderosa principal after coaching wrestling for 18 years and serving as the school’s athletic director for nine years. The Mustangs won eight state titles under Ottmann and he coached 13 individual state champions at Pondo. He coached for seven seasons at Burges, Texas.

Barron has been at Columbine for five seasons after leaving Heritage after a 33-year stint. He also coached in Worland, Wyoming, and Fort Lupton in his 44-year coaching and teaching career, which is the most for coaches in Colorado. He has won more than 400 dual meets in his career for a .742 winning percentage, which ranks behind Ottmann’s top record of .923 percent (170-22).

All three of the wrestling icons noted there have been a few changes in the sport but not much that includes basic wrestling skills.

Athletes have started wrestling at younger ages, and feeder youth programs are important to the success of high school teams. And wrestling has joined other sports in becoming a yearround activity.

“The kids are getting so much better so much younger,” said Ottmann. “The youth programs are really preparing kids for high school. You pretty much have to have four or five years under your belt going into high school to have a chance. It also takes a little bit more year-round than back in the day. You really don’t feel like you can take much of a break, you go from high school to freestyle to summer camp.”

Wrestlers with experience entering a program make a difference.

“You have to have that interest,” said Beeson. “Coaches are only as good as the athletes who walk in the door. I know that the years I had good athletes I was a great coach. The years when I had just young kids, I was mediocre.”

BENTON

regarding illegal holds, health and weight management is another change that has made the sport safer.

Recalling those days eating lunch around wrestlers at Lincoln, I was amazed by the wrestlers either not eating much or pigging out prior to weigh-in sessions, but apparently those situations are not seen as much.

And, girls wrestling could become a Colorado sanctioned sport if the pilot program gains CHSAA approval in April.

“The days are over when girls have to be wrestling boys,” said Ottmann. “It’s time for girls to wrestle girls.”

After the weekend regionals, the wrestlers who qualify for state will be at the Pepsi Center for the all classification state tournament.

“The Pepsi Center is an amazing experience,” said Barron. “It is a 10ring circus. There is always something going on as you look across the mats on the floor. To watch these phenomenal athletes no matter the class is an experience you have to see to believe.

It is the funnest state meet there is to watch.”

Do you have a home? Thank God for it. Several people do not have one after the fire at the Windermere Apartments in Littleton. Some have found a new home but all have not. May they do so soon.

A grace provision that all Christians have is a home, both present & future. Eph 2:6 tells us that “God raised us up with Christ & seated us with Him in the heavenly realms”. God sees us as now in His presence & gives us “every spiritual blessing” from there (Eph 1:3). Of course our future eternal home is heaven itself with its “many mansions” (John 14:2). When we die we are instantly “at home with the Lord” (2 Cor 5:8). It is a home that is secure, joyous, holy, beautiful and available to all. Will you be there thru faith in Jesus Christ? hfsmail@basicisp.net

The following activities describe Denver Water’s steady application of effort to complete the appropriation in a reasonably expedient and efficient manner under all the facts and circumstances. Denver Water operates an integrated municipal water system. When constructed, Two Forks Reservoir will be an integral part of Denver Water’s integrated municipal water system. A. The following activities describe Denver Water’s annual progress reports, land purchases, and watershed restorations and management work for the proposed Two Forks Dam and Reservoir: (1) Denver Water filed annual reports of beneficial use for the Two Forks Reservoir Project with the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The reports detail measures undertaken by the Applicant to maintain the Applicant’s Right-of-Way, Serial Number D-032121, within the boundary of the Pike National Forest. (2) Under the 2003 South Platte Protection Plan (“Plan”), Denver Water agreed to voluntarily impose a moratorium on applications for development of the Two Forks Right-of-Way for a period of twenty years.

Through this Plan, Denver Water has established a planning process that can result in alternative means of developing the Two Forks project (“Two Forks Water”). Denver Water is pursuing alternative storage or utilization of the Two Forks Water that would allow it to achieve its yield without the use of the Right-of-Way. During the diligence period, Denver Water took the following actions to further implement the Plan: (i) Denver Water provided operational updates to the South Platte Enhancement Board; and (ii) the Denver Water Task Force met to evaluate the progress of the alternative Two Forks projects. (3) In 2003, Denver Water initiated an Army Corps of Engineers (“Corps”) permitting process for the Moffat Collection System Project to address water reliability and system vulnerability problems, and to provide the next increment of firm yield. Throughout the diligence period efforts continued to resolve issues raised by stakeholders. The Final Environmental Impact Statement (“FEIS”) from the Corps was released April 25, 2014 and on July 7, 2017 the Corps issued its Record of Decision (“ROD”) and a draft 404 Permit for the Moffat Project.

Denver Water was awarded the final version of the 404 Permit in August 2017. (4) Denver Water and the United States Geologic Survey (“USGS”) continue to partner in the necessary measurement of water flow in streams pursuant to annual cooperative agreements. Denver Water uses data available from these gages for water rights administration, water supply analysis, and long-term trending. Since 2012, Denver Water has contributed approximately $1,740,000 towards this effort. As of 2018, 30 stream gages are maintained in this partnership. (5) Denver Water continues to monitor seismic activity at the Kennedy Gulch fault on a biannual basis. (6) Denver Water continually monitors potential property acquisitions and maintains its property holdings in the Two Forks Right-of-Way. (7) In 2017, Denver Water entered into an intergovernmental agreement (“IGA”) with the Colorado Division of Parks and Wildlife (“CDPW”) concerning monitoring for aquatic nuisance species as well as boat inspection and decontamination.

Under this IGA, Denver Water agreed to reimburse costs incurred due to inspection of water craft entering and leaving the reservoirs, decontamination of watercraft, and public education.

Denver Water spent approximately $130,000 on this activity. (8) In 2013, Denver Water received a Colorado Source Water Assessment and Protection Project Grant from the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment's Water Quality Control Division (“WQCD”). The grant was used to evaluate the vulnerability of the Upper South Platte River and its tributaries to contaminants from both point sources and nonpoint sources and increase collaboration among various stakeholders including local governments, communities, and other utilities to develop and implement protection strategies aimed at reducing water quality degradation. This effort culminated in the Source Water Protection Plan (“SWPP”) for the Upper South Platte River, published November 2015. The SWPP delineated Source Water Protection Areas for supplies located in Park County. In 2016, Denver Water and the Park County Board of County Commissioners signed an MOU for source water protection of surface and groundwater. Both sources need to be protected from point and non-point contamination for the benefit of Denver Water’s customers. (9) In 2013, Denver Water and the West Slope agreed to the Colorado River Cooperative Agreement (“CRCA”), beginning a long-term partnership between the entities. One of the key provisions, as it relates to Two Forks Reservoir, is the ability for Denver Water to store up to 400,000 acre-feet of Blue River water in any facility on the East Slope at any one time. B. The following activities describe Denver Water’s effort to maintain capacity on the North Fork of the South Platte River (East Portal of the Roberts Tunnel to the Confluence with the South Platte River). Water delivered through the Roberts Tunnel will be captured and stored in Two Forks Reservoir: (1) Denver Water faces operational challenges on the North Fork of the South Platte River (“North Fork”) during the winter. Portions of the North Fork have been channelized to accommodate increased flows of Blue River Water diverted through Roberts Tunnel. As seasonal demands decrease, shallow sections of the channelized river become susceptible to ice dam formation. As system operational requirements permit, Denver Water operates its system with the objective of maintaining certain flows from the Roberts Tunnel to keep this critical means of water conveyance operational. (2) Denver Water routinely recovers and maps the monuments for Denver Water’s flowage easement along the North Fork. In 2018, this process included a review of the easements granted to Intermountain Rural Electric Association (“IREA”). (3) Denver Water sprayed for noxious weeds along the South Platte River from Deckers downstream to Strontia Springs and along the North Fork from the Town of Buffalo Creek to the confluence with the South Platte River. (4) In 2012, Denver Water signed an IGA with the North Fork Fire Protection District for fire protection services for Denver Water property located from Cheesman Reservoir to Strontia Springs Reservoir and along the North Fork. Denver Water agreed to provide $150,000 over a five-year period for these services. C. The following activities describe Denver Water’s effort to maintain and improve forest health within the Two Forks

weeds along the South Platte River from Deckers downstream to Strontia Springs and along the North Fork from the Town of Buffalo Creek to the confluence with the South Platte River. (4) In 2012, Denver Water signed an IGA with the North Fork Fire Protection District for fire protection services for Denver Water property located from Cheesman Reservoir to Strontia Springs Reservoir and along the North Fork. Denver Water agreed to provide $150,000 over a five-year period for these services. C. The following activities describe Denver Water’s effort to maintain and improve forest health within the Two Forks Reservoir watershed: (1) In 2010, Denver Water and the United States Forest Service (“USFS”) signed a 5-year memorandum of understanding (“MOU”) to protect forest health and reduce the risk of catastrophic wildfires. The goal of this partnership was to improve forest health by reducing fuels and providing watershed protection treatments on National Forest System land. Under the MOU, the USFS and Denver Water agreed to commit $33 million ($16.5 million each) to implement projects in Denver Water’s priority areas (“Zones of Concern”). The forestry work was conducted throughout all three National Forests that are within Denver Water’s collection system including Forest System lands around Antero, Eleven Mile, Spinney Mountain, and Strontia Springs Reservoirs, in addition to Two Forks Reservoir.

(2) In 2017, a new 5-year MOU was signed which expanded the partnership to include the USFS, Natural Resource Conservation Service (“NRCS”) and the Colorado State Forest Service (“CSFS”). The program emphasized the importance of watershed and forest health on private lands. Under the program, Denver Water committed an additional $16.5 million toward forest and watershed health treatments, to be matched at least dollar for dollar by USFS, CSFS, and NRCS for a total value of $33 million, creating a total 10-year investment of $66 million. The goal of the second 5-year program is to treat approximately 40,000 acres within Zones of Concern and to maintain the 48,000 acres previously treated. (3) In 2010, Denver Water entered into the Forest and Land Management Services Agreement with CSFS, which includes additional implementation and restoration activities, as well as preparation of vegetation and fuels management plans for site-specific areas. This agreement includes reimbursement of costs to the CSFS, up to $1,552,315 for CSFS personnel and operational costs, as well as direct support for project implementation during the contract period of 2010-2014. (4) In 2014 an agreement with the CSFS was signed to use the $1.65 million saved from the USFS MOU discussed above over five years (2014 to 2019) to conduct hazardous fuel treatments and monitoring of those projects on non-federal lands within Denver Water's Zones of Concern. The release of Denver Water's funds is contingent upon a 1:1 match with funds available from other entities such as federal, state, and local governments, and nonprofit, private, and corporate entities. To date, Denver Water has disbursed $1.3 million towards this contract. (5) In 2018, Denver Water entered into a new Forest and Land Management Services Agreement with CSFS, which includes forest management on Denver Water lands. This agreement includes reimbursement of costs to the CSFS, up to $911,106 for CSFS personnel and operational costs, as well as direct support for project implementation through 2022. (6) Denver Water continues to participate with the State of Colorado and a coalition of water users and water interests in the South Platte River basin to implement the Platte River Recovery Implementation Program, which became the South Platte Water Related Activities Program (“SPWRAP”). On January 1, 2007, the first phase of SPWRAP was initiated to provide support and a mechanism for funding future financial obligations to provide critical reproductive and migration habitat for three threatened and endangered bird species in central Nebraska and the Pallid Sturgeon in the lower Platte River. The first phase is a 13-year period which extends throughout the diligence period. The purpose of SPWRAP is to provide reasonable and prudent alternatives to avoid the likelihood of jeopardy to federally listed species. SPWRAP provides a mechanism to mitigate adverse environmental consequences so that water projects in the Platte River basin, subject to Section 7 Consultation under the Endangered Species Act (“ESA”), including water stored in Two Forks Reservoir, can operate and receive federal permits, licenses, funding, or other approvals in compliance with the ESA. During the diligence period, Denver Water spent approximately $2,391,000 on this project. D. The following activities describe work completed in furtherance of maintaining Strontia Springs Reservoir, for which Two Forks Reservoir will be used as a forebay: (1) Denver Water completed annual operations and maintenance including annual dam safety inspections with Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (“FERC”) and State Engineer’s Office (“SEO”), drill of the Emergency Action Plan, and survey of the dam for movement. (2) In 2015, FERC required Denver Water to update and expand on a structural stability analysis of Strontia Springs Dam, previously completed in 2008. In 2016, Gannett Fleming was retained to provide civil engineering services for the FERC Consultant Safety Inspection Report. The awarded contract amount was $54,296. (3) In 2017, Gannett Fleming Inc. was retained for $188,838 to update the analysis to incorporate increased seismic loading criteria to confirm Strontia Springs Dam is safe for continued operation. (4) In 2017, Denver Water awarded a contract for $46,424 to AECOM to provide a model for a dam breach and inundation mapping at Strontia Springs Dam that spans several counties including Park, Jefferson, Douglas and Arapahoe Counties. (5) In 2016, Denver Water retained Infrastructure Marine Consultants LLC for $128,828 for the Strontia Springs Dam Emergency Reservoir Drainage System (“ERDS”) Rehabilitation project. The ERDS was found to be inoperable when one of the bonneted gate valves failed in the closed position. The inoperability of the ERDS presented operational and dam safety issues since sediment had accumulated at the inlet to the ERDS, partially blocking the inlet, and the reservoir could not be fully drained, if needed. The Strontia Springs Dam ERDS Rehabilitation project fully refurbished the ERDS and its associated valves which provided operability of the system as originally designed. (6) As part of Strontia Springs Dam ERDS Rehabilitation project, RM Scott & Associates was re-

project. The ERDS was found to be inoperable February 2019 when one 14, of the bonneted gate valves failed in

the closed position. The inoperability of the ERDS presented operational and dam safety issues since sediment had accumulated at the inlet to the ERDS, partially blocking the inlet, and the reservoir could not be fully drained, if needed. The Strontia Springs Dam ERDS Rehabilitation project fully refurbished the ERDS and its associated valves which provided operability of the system as originally designed. (6) As part of Strontia Springs Dam ERDS Rehabilitation project, RM Scott & Associates was retained to design and manufacture a new bulkhead and repair/replace the bonneted gate discs and associated valves. The project cost was $23,660. (7) Starting in 2015, Denver Water retained Providence Infrastructure Consultants to provide civil and environmental engineering for Phase 1 of the Sediment Management Concept at Strontia Springs Reservoir. This work included summarizing existing sediment information and potential operational scenarios to mobilize sediment. (8) Denver Water contracted with Golder Associates Inc. to provide a study on upstream management practices at Strontia Springs which includes data collection, field assessments, and basin prioritization for sediment management practices to reduce sediment inflow, cost benefit analysis, and recommendations for Emergency Response Plans for post fire conditions. E. The following activities describe work completed in furtherance of maintaining the Foothills Water Treatment Plant (“Foothills WTP”), Marston Water Treatment Plant (“Marston WTP”), and their respective intakes. Foothills WTP and Marston WTP will be used to treat and distribute Two Forks Reservoir water through Denver Water’s integrated municipal water supply system: (1) Foothills WTP: i. Continued to comply with the terms of the Foothills settlement, these efforts benefit baseline data and improvements necessary for the beneficial utilization of the Two Forks Rightof-Way. In addition, Denver Water operated its South Platte River storage and intake facilities in compliance with the South Platte River Management Plan to maintain specified stream flow requirements along a defined reach below Strontia Springs Reservoir. ii. Foothills WTP uses drying beds to dewater solids before disposal.

About 600 to 800 acre-feet of water each year is collected from the underdrains of the drying beds before being discharged. Denver Water contracted with Garney Companies to install a pump station to recover and reuse the water from the underdrains of the drying beds instead of wasting the water. The work included installing a new wet well, two submersible pumps, 3,800 linear feet of 10-inch pipe, valves, power, and instrumentation and controls. Another component of the project included installing a redundant vertical turbine pump in the Headworks Building to ensure the afterbay can be dewatered in a reliable and timely manner for critical Plant shutdown work. Work was completed in 2017 for a total project cost of $1,457,000. iii. During the Foothills WTP facility assessment, four-unit substations and four variable frequency drives were identified as having exceeded their normal life expectancy by 2017.

The equipment is critical to plant operations and replacement improved both reliability and personnel safety. Denver Water contracted with CH2M Hill Engineers, Inc. for $126,858 for design services for this replacement project. iv.

Foothills WTP is Denver Water's largest treatment facility, containing large quantities of steel and ductile iron pipelines in diameters ranging from 2-inches to 132-lnches. The metallic pipelines are susceptible to corrosion, and cathodic protection is used to reduce corrosion. Ultimately, this work extended the useful life of the pipelines. An impressed current cathodic protection system is used to protect the buried metallic pipelines and fittings from corrosion. The original cathodic protection systems were installed in 1982 and have reached the end of their usable life. Denver Water awarded a contract in 2016 to Guarantee Electrical to install new impressed current cathodic protection systems for $1,625,115. v. In 2018, retained MWH as the construction manager at risk to update treatment processes at Foothills WTP. As a part of those updates, Denver Water acquired 47 butterfly valves from Henry Pratt Company for a total cost of $1,133,936. vi. Retained Brown and Caldwell to design a new phosphoric acid system and improvements to the sodium hydroxide feed system to comply with drinking water regulations, specifically the Lead and Copper Rule.

To date, $562,365 has been spent on design of these systems. (2) Conduit 20 and Intake: i.

Completed annual operations and maintenance including annual dam safety inspections with FERC and SEO. ii. In 2016, retained Coblaco Services Inc. to remove the cement mortar lining and install a new polyurethane lining in the Conduit No. 20 aerial crossing pipelines. The new polyurethane lining is more resistant to environmental conditions, reduces the need for downstream cleanup, and extends the serviceable life of the pipelines by providing a corrosion barrier. The total project cost was $353,800. iii. In 2016, retained CH2M Hill Engineers Inc. to design modifications to the Conduit No. 20 outlet structure. Total project cost was $559,895. (3) Marston Reservoir: i. Completed annual operations and maintenance including annual dam safety inspections with SEO and survey of the dam for movement. ii. Continued the noxious weed and woody vegetation control programs on the earthen embankment. iii. In 2016, retained T. Lowell Construction Inc. to construct the Marston Forebay South Embankment Seepage Collection and Drainage System.

The new toe drain addressed seepage issues identified in 2015. The total project cost was $683,381. iv. In 2014, retained Sema Construction Inc. to upgrade the Marston dam, forebay and construct a multi-level outlet works at a total project cost of $12,454,808. The project involved draining the reservoir, removing the 90inch and 66-inch outlet conduits, constructing a new multiple level outlet works to add 3 different elevations of outlets and constructing a new 60-inch gravity fed drain line. This work was undertaken to improve water quality and to allow more efficient lowering of the reservoir in the future. (4) Marston WTP: i. In 2016, retained Garney Companies to replace the existing scrubber equipment with alternative equipment and technology that is safer for Denver Water employees and the public. The total cost of his project was $543,317. ii. In 2016, retained Western Waterproofing to caulk and seal the chlorine storage room at Marston WTP at a total project cost

inch and 66-inch outlet conduits, constructing a new multiple level outlet works to add 3 different elevations of outlets and constructing a new 60-inch gravity fed drain line. This work was undertaken to improve water quality and to allow more efficient lowering of the reservoir in the future. (4) Marston WTP: i. In 2016, retained Garney Companies to replace the existing scrubber equipment with alternative equipment and technology that is safer for Denver Water employees and the public. The total cost of his project was $543,317. ii. In 2016, retained Western Waterproofing to caulk and seal the chlorine storage room at Marston WTP at a total project cost of $5,997, to date. iii. In 2014, Denver Water upgraded sedimentation, sludge collection, flocculation, and disinfection equipment, as well as conducted a structural evaluation of the existing facilities. The total pr oject costs w er e $9,907,858. F. The following work describes Denver Water’s effort to maintain Chatfield Reservoir, which will be used to exchange water to Two Forks Reservoir: (1) As part of the Chatfield Reservoir Reallocation Project, the Corps determined Chatfield Reservoir can increase the water supply pool up to elevation 5,444’ to accommodate an additional 20,600 acre-feet of water storage for water supply without compromising the flood control operations. The additional storage space, referred to as the Reallocation Pool, will be used by project participants to meet their diverse water demands. Currently, approximately 3,300 acre-feet of the Reallocation Pool remain unsubscribed, and are often referred to as the “orphan shares.”

Denver Water is in discussions with the Colorado Water Conservation Board, the state agency responsible for managing the Reallocation Project, regarding possible acquisition of the orphan shares and options for sharing the orphan shares with other Reallocation Project participants. (2) The Corps granted Denver Water an easement for a pipeline right-of-way at Chatfield Reservoir, three removable water intake pumps in the Reservoir (“Chatfield Temporary Pump Station”), an electrical line powering the pumps, and other related facilities. The easement was granted for a 25-year term, starting December 1, 2002 and ending November 30, 2027. In anticipation of the expiration of the easement, Denver Water is working collaboratively with other Reallocation Project participants to discuss options for installing a Joint-Use Pump Station that would add flexibility to the system and enable project participants to pump their stored water out of Chatfield Reservoir.

The Joint-Use Pump Station would help Denver Water access more of its water stored in Chatfield Reservoir at lower elevations. The JointUse Pump Station is currently in the concept phase. In October 2018, Denver Water and the South Metro Water Supply Authority signed an inter-governmental agreement approving funding for a study to evaluate opportunities for joint use of a pump station location below Chatfield Reservoir. The overall approach to the study includes identifying existing and planned future water facilities owned by project participants in the area of Chatfield Reservoir, describing the degree to which these facilities might be available for use by other project participants in a collaborative fashion, and developing a suite of potential infrastructure sharing concepts that have the opportunity to provide benefits to project participants as well as have potential benefits to regional stakeholders that are not project participants. Denver Water is contributing $50,000 out of $258,644 for the completion of the study. (3) In 2015, Denver Water participated in the negotiations and drafting of the Chatfield Reservoir Management Agreement. This Agreement was required under the 1979 Agreement that delegated management responsibility over any reallocation to Denver Water. (4) In 2015, Denver Water participated in the negotiations and drafting of the Emergency Drought Agreement with the State of Colorado. This Agreement defined the parameters for Denver Water’s use of water below elevation 5423’ in the event of a severe and prolonged drought. G. The following work describes Denver Water’s effort to maintain Platte Cañon Reservoir, which can be used to receive deliveries of water from and to exchange water to Two Forks Reservoir: (1) Completed annual operations and maintenance including annual dam safety inspections with SEO and survey of the dam for movement.

(2) Continued noxious weed control program. (3) Monitored piezometers on embankment on a monthly basis. (4) Pot holed and located Conduit 8 to clarify its location related to spillway construction. H. Gravel Pits. During the diligence period, Denver Water furthered the development of the Downstream Reservoir Water Storage Program (DRWSP). Water stored as part of this program will be used to optimize reuse of Denver Water’s reusable water through exchange. During the diligence period, Denver Water spent over $30,000,000 on this project.

Water may be exchanged from the DRWSP reservoirs to Two Forks Reservoir. I. Denver Water engaged in other activities that would further the development of the subject conditional rights including: (1) Denver Water has been investigating the viability of a new water supply by injecting, storing, and recovering treated water (aquifer storage and recovery, or "ASR") into and from the Denver Basin aquifers under the City and County of Denver. If proven feasible and cost effective by a pilot project, additional ASR well sites could be developed in the future to increase the water supply yield of Denver Water's system, including a portion of the supply derivable from the Two Forks water rights. In 2013, Brown and Caldwell was hired to identify appropriate candidate sites for the pilot facility; design water quality tests; define treatment, operation, and maintenance requirements; identify permitting and regulatory requirements; identify risks to the recovery of stored water; estimate the capital and operations cost of the pilot facility; and develop a scope of work for the next phase. In 2015, the four exploratory boreholes were drilled to collect aquifer data to define the aquifer characteristics. In 2016, four more exploratory boreholes were drilled to obtain additional and more detailed data which was analyzed in 2017, and potential sites for the ASR project are being investigated. (2) Denver Water has continued to support the “Dust on Snow” research being performed by the Center for Snow and Avalanche Studies. This research is aimed at learning how dust deposits affect the amount and timing of snowmelt runoff in Colorado. J.

Estimated Amount: Denver aquifer groundwater was decreed underlying the Subject Property in Case No. 12CW112, and 4 acre-feet per year was not decreed for use through an exempt well.

Colorado teens celebrate diversity at conference In the wake of political and social tension, teens come together for respect, tolerance and unity

achieve, academically.”

The conference started in 1994 under the leadership of Janet Sammons, now chair of the board of directors for Youth Celebrate Diversity, when 18 schools gathered. Now the conference has grown into the largest diversity event for teenagers in Colorado.

Marcus McDavid, assistant principal at Cherry Creek High, was a member of the first diversity council.

He addressed students at this year’s conference telling them, “your voice matters — and my hope is that you walk away from today knowing that what you do matters.”

Throughout the day, student and adult participants broke out into discussion groups and workshops to address respect and diversity issues in their schools. Among the 42 workshops offered were “Left versus Right: Politics and Diversity,” focusing on providing students with skills and strategies for respectfully engaging others in political dialogue across difference.

Additional breakouts focused on religious diversity; sustaining youth activism; understanding immigrants and immigration; and youth homelessness.

Dakota Ridge High senior Jasmine Davis said last year was a hard year for her, but when she came to the conference, it was the first time she ever felt like she was accepted, loved and understood.

This year, Davis was part of the student-run planning committee for the event and performed a spoken word piece titled, “In this body.”

“I got tired of people telling me that everything was wrong because of my identity — all my identities,” Davis said, explaining that as a bisexual, biracial woman, she is a triple minority.

“I wanted to say how angry I get every time there’s backlash about me fighting about my identities, my equality…

want to tell them we’re all equal; we’re all beautiful; we’re all fighting for the same thing. The message is supposed to be empowerment — taking yourself from the victim to the person who fights.”

This is the first year the conference was planned solely by students.

Another first for the conference was to have a keynote speaker who is transgender.

“It’s a huge thing,” Selkin said.

“We thought that there wasn’t a lot of representation in the transgender community especially in our schools.”

The keynote speech was delivered

by Paula Stone Williams, a transgender pastor and internationally known speaker on gender equity and LGBTQ advocacy. Williams’ recent TED talk had over half a million views in its first 48 hours, and her TEDxMileHigh talk on gender equity has had more than 1.7 million views on YouTube.

Williams talked to the students about the heroes journey.

“Every human being on earth has been called onto the heroes journey,” she said. “The question isn’t were you called or not, the question is if you have the courage and authenticity to answer the call — to be willing to go onto the road of trials and into the deep dark night.”

Williams told the students they have all answered the call by attending the conference and they have the power to create change in their communities.

“You know it’s important to be agents of change, to make a difference, to live authentically, to change the world,” she continued. “And you know you have the capacity to do it. ...

Every single human being has dignity regardless of their gender, regardless of their sexual identity. Every single person regardless of their race, regardless of their religion, every person should have dignity and you are the ones that are going to do it.”
