Remembering 9/11

BY DEB HURLEY BROBST DBROBST@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Duty. Dedication. Sacri ce.

ose words describe the reghters who worked to save Americans after the terrorist attacks on New York City, at the Pentagon and in Pennsylvania on Sept. 11, 2001.  Remembrance. Honor. Re ection.

ose words describe the more than 2,000 rst responders and others who participated in the 15th annual Colorado 9/11 Memorial Climb at Red Rocks Amphitheatre on Sept. 11.

Stair climb organizer Shawn Duncan of West Metro Fire Rescue told the participants they didn’t have

to complete all nine laps around the amphitheater that represent

the 101 ights of stairs re ghters climbed on 9/11 in the Twin Towers in New York City to rescue people trapped in the buildings before they collapsed.

“ is is not a race,” Duncan told them. “It’s OK to pause, to sit and re ect. is event is more about getting together and remembering.”

West Metro Fire Chief Don Lombardi told rst responders in attendance to be diligent and take pride in the work they do.

“It is imperative that you are ready like the 343 re ghters (of FDNY, the New York City Fire Department) who lost their lives,” Lombardi said.

He asked everyone to remember what the country was like after 9/11 when everyone banded together and became one.

“We can honor (those who lost their lives) by having more grace with each other and coming together as a nation,” Lombardi said. “We are strong when we are one.”

Members of the Warren Tech Fire Academy class, who weren’t alive on Sept. 11, 2001, decided to participate. Warren Tech students come from high schools across Je co, and these high school juniors and seniors said they were compelled to participate to honor the re ghters who lost their lives on 9/11.

“I feel we have to be here,” Landon Hines, a Green Mountain High School student, said. “For us to walk (in the stair climb) doesn’t begin to honor their sacri ce.”

Brendan Brownlee, a student at Ralston Valley High School, added: “We are honoring heroes.”

Kara Cooper, a retired member of Genesee Fire, was a pilot on 9/11 and served on the re department for 15 years, retiring in 2018. She participates in the stair climb to honor people who try to save others, not just on 9/11. She hoped to make all nine laps around the amphitheater, adding, laughing, that she’s never tried it in bunker gear.

Mike Amdur with Foothills Fire was too young to remember the terrorist attacks.

However, he added, “9/11 is a large part of the culture of the re service. Taking part is the best way for me to communicate with my fellow brothers and sisters in the re service. It’s a show of respect.”

Rock Canyon High School Fire Academy students in Highlands Ranch were excited to get started, and they pointed to one of their instructors, Joe Sapia, who they recently learned was a Long Island, New York, re ghter on 9/11, and he arrived at the scene just before the North Tower collapsed.

Sapia explained that his duties at Ground Zero were rescue and recovery.

“I always tell everybody that I’m not a hero,” he said.

Now, he said, his duty is to spread awareness about the responders who have fallen ill as a result of their work on 9/11, the subsequent rescue operations and cleanup.

“9/11 never goes away,” he said.

Also, as a re instructor for the high school program, he says his job is to have students experience what it’s really like to be a reghter.

He doesn’t tell his students about his experiences on 9/11.

“I don’t want them to treat me di erently,” Sapia said.

Battalion Chief Matt Gold with Fairmount Fire said he tries to do something each year to commemorate 9/11, and this was his rst time at the Red Rocks stair climb.

Joe Sapia, wearing an FDNY cap, walks in the 9/11 Memorial Stair Climb at Red Rocks Amphitheatre. Sapia was a Long Island firefighter on Sept. 11, 2001, and he arrived at the scene of the Twin Towers just before the North Tower collapsed. He teaches in the fire academy program at Rock Canyon High School in Highlands Ranch.

Your Home Just Went Under Contract With a Buyer — Now What Happens?

I just had this conversation with a seller, and it occurred to me that you might like to hear what I said. The conversation actually occurred while we crafted the counterproposal to the buyer’s offer. Sitting down with the seller, we went through the buyer’s contract paragraph by paragraph, paying particular attention to the deadlines and to what was included and excluded.

The contract in question was full-price, but had a $17,000 sellerpaid concession to fund a buydown of the buyer’s mortgage interest rate. The seller accepted that concession, and I emailed the buyer’s agent to get agreement that the commissions paid to each of us would be paid on the purchase price minus that concession. She agreed, as I expected she would. (This doesn’t need to be in writing, other than in our email exchange.)

Naturally, my seller wanted to know

Next Week Is National Drive Electric Week

For over a decade Golden Real Estate has hosted this event in the parking lot of 17695 S. Golden Road, but that building was sold on July 31st, so there will be no Golden event this year. In fact, only two of the eight NDEW events in Colorado this year are anywhere near us. One is in Broomfield on Saturday, Sept. 23rd, and the other is in Longmont on Saturday, Sept. 30th. Find details at www.DriveElectricWeek.org.

There will be an Electric Vehicle Roundup on Saturday, Oct. 7th, 3 to 5 pm in the parking lot of the American Mountaineering Center in downtown Golden as part of the Metro Denver Green Homes Tour. If you have an EV you’re willing to display at that event, please call or email me to let me know.

about the buyer, so I shared what I had learned from interviewing the loan officer who provided the pre-approval letter.

In reviewing the dates and deadlines, I explained how they worked. For example, the inspection objection deadline was the deadline for the buyer, having inspected the house with a professional inspector, to submit a list of demands. I explained that this is a “notice” signed only by the buyer. That will trigger an inspection resolution document in which we say what we are willing to do. My elderly buyers don’t want to do anything and liked the idea that we could offer money in lieu of making those repairs to which the seller agreed. I pointed out that the seller doesn’t have to agree to do anything, but “let’s wait to see what they ask for.” I pointed out that since we learned that they are closing on their out-of-state home a few days before our closing, they won’t want to have to start their home search all over again, which gives us some leverage in terms of what we agree to do.

Similarly, I explained that the buyer could use the appraisal objection deadline to demand a price reduction if the home doesn’t appraise for the contract price, but again we don’t have to agree to that. It’s a negotiation, and again we could refuse any price reduction and it’s unlikely the buyer would want to terminate and find another home to buy.

The seller wanted to know how the earnest money deposit worked. I explained that the buyer gets his full earnest money back so long as he (they) terminate as allowed by the contract, such as on inspection, appraisal, HOA documents, survey, etc. A “good faith” provision prohibits using any of those opportunities to terminate other than what it’s for. In other words, they can’t use the insurance objec-

tion deadline to terminate for buyer’s remorse. Only the inspection objection deadline can be used for that purpose.

The sellers wanted to know how the closing would work. I explained what would be deducted from their proceeds, namely property taxes for the current year pro-rated to the date of closing, half the closing services fee ($180 or so), commissions to both agents, the title insurance policy, the payoff of their mortgage, and a few minor fees. They should only bring two forms of ID to the closing, and should provide the wiring instructions for the account to which they want their proceeds wired.

They wanted to know about notifying utilities. I explained that the title company will handle the water & sewer bill, for which it will escrow $300 or so from their proceeds. That bill will be sent to the title company, which will send the seller a check for what’s left of after applying the escrowed amount to the water bill. They should notify the gas & electric company, which may ask them to provide the meter readings on the day of closing. I explained that gas & electricity is never turned off and that their final readings will be the start reading for the buyer, and that it’s the

buyer’s responsibility to call and identify themselves for billing purposes.

The counterproposal, which I wrote on my laptop during our meeting, made no changes in the dates & deadlines or the price, but did clarify exactly what was included and excluded, to avoid any possible misunderstanding later on.

Did You Know?...

 Flood insurance, if you have it, does not cover below-grade finished space. It only covers things like the furnace that support the above grade space if it’s in the basement.

 More than 4 out of 5 prospective home buyers consider climate risks as they shop, new Zillow research shows. Most say their major concern is flood risk, followed by wildfires, extreme temperatures, hurricanes, and drought.

 First-time home buyers now make up roughly 50% of all purchasers. Two years ago, that figure was 37%. “Thirty-seven percent was a low-water mark,” says Zillow senior economist Jeff Tucker, “driven by elevated trade-up and investor activity, as homeowners and investors scrambled to capitalize on record-low mortgage rates and lock in lower ownership costs.”

Metro Denver Green Homes Tour Is Coming Soon

Saturday, October 7th, is the date of this year’s Metro Denver Green Homes Tour, always held on the first Saturday in October.

The tour is based at the American Mountaineering Center on 10th Street and Washington Avenue in downtown Golden. New Energy Colorado is the host organization. Register for $10 at www.NewEnergyColorado.com/home -tour

are even electric fireplaces.

It has become conventional wisdom that natural gas within a home is both unhealthy and dangerous, and since you can generate your own electricity on the roof of your home, why not go allelectric?

As a member of the steering committee for the tour, I was tasked with shooting narrated video tours of each home on the tour, and these videos, plus videos of home on prior years’ tours, are all posted or going to be posted shortly on the same website.

$735,000

This lovely ranch-style home at 19077 W. 57th Drive is nestled at the base of North Table Mountain north of Golden proper. It was just listed by Kathy Jonke. The small, friendly neighborhood of Wildhorse Ranch is great for ad-venturing in the foothills or just relaxing on the covered porch or covered deck and enjoying the mountain views. Its location on a bend of the road allows for privacy and generous space between neighboring homes. This well-maintained home has a large eat -in kitchen with stainless steel appliances, pantry, solid surface countertops and breakfast bar. Enjoy visiting with guests in the adjacent dining and living room, complete with a cozy gas fireplace and gleaming hardwood floors. The primary suite is a private, welcome retreat with a ¾ bathroom and spacious walk-in closet. Two additional bedrooms, a full bath, and an open bonus room provide a variety of options for flexible use. Step outside onto a covered deck and overlook a nicely landscaped yard and garden that backs to a greenbelt with mature trees and walking path. Other features include a nicely finished two-car garage, new roof and solar panels that meet all this home’s electrical needs. Take a video tour and find more photos at www.JeffcoSolarHomes.com

Fifteen homes are on the tour this year, and many of them are all-electric, which is the sustainable thing-to-be this year. Gas furnaces are being replaced by heat pumps, and gas or electric water heaters are being replaced by heat pump water heaters. Gas cooktops and conventional electric cooktops are being replaced by induction cooktops. There

As much as I already know about sustainability, I always learn something new on these tours, and I am sure you will learn something new, too.

“It’s important,” he said. “It’s a way for us to remember all the lives that were lost, and it’s special for us as re ghting brothers and sisters to come together.”

Duncan reminded participants that the FDNY showed up on 9/11, knowing that day would be horri c and that some of them would not return home.

“ ere were 29 minutes between when the rst tower and the second tower fell,” Duncan said. “ ey saved 20,000 lives, a lot of them knowing they would not make it out of the Twin Towers. ey knew their re ghter brothers were lost, and they still continued to climb those stairs.”

For Evergreen Fire/Rescue Assistant Chief Stacee Martin, participating in a remembrance every year is important. She said of the 9/11 Memorial Stair Climb: “It never gets easier or old.”

Central City Opera remembers J. Landis Martin

BY JO DAVIS JDAVIS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

e Central City Opera in Wheat Ridge recently lost an in uential and longtime member. J. Landis Martin passed away Sept. 1. He was the president of Central City Opera’s Endowment Fund Board, a longtime member of the Opera’s leadership, a benefactor and a patron.

A recent announcement from the Opera recognized Martin’s importance to the organization.

“His remarkable leadership, generosity and foresight from early years on the Board of Directors, to his role as Chair, and in establishing the Central City Opera Endowment Fund, have been instrumental in the organization’s continued existence and ongoing success,” the announcement said.

Martin was actually responsible for the fund, according to Scott Finlay, Central City Opera’s chief external a airs o cer. Finlay said that Martin had a vision for a way to keep the Opera going when times got really hard for the arts.

“Lanny’s involvement with Central City Opera is the very reason that we exist today on a number of di erent levels,” Finlay said. “Of course, his generosity to the organization itself was important, but his leadership and his vision were also instrumental in putting us on the map and keeping us there.”

Finlay said Martin used his vision from the business world to help the Opera.

Platte River Equity Fund was a company that Landis started in 2006. According to the company website, Martin served as CEO to three industrial companies for 18 years.

“Lanny was Chairman and CEO of Titanium Metals Corporation (TIMET) (formerly NYSE: TIE),” the website stated. “In addition, Lanny was CEO of NL Industries, Inc., a specialty chemical producer, and Baroid Corporation, a diversi ed oil eld service business, which is now part of Halliburton. Prior to NL Industries, Inc., he was a partner of the Kirkland & Ellis law rm.”

Martin brought all of that experience to the fth-oldest opera company in the U.S.

“Central City Opera is a 91-yearold organization,” Finlay said. “So,

it has a lot of history behind it. at had to be honored.”

However, Martin was a forward thinker.

“Lanny always pushed forward with (questions like), ‘Where do we go next? What do we do to keep Central City Opera out in the forefront?’” Finlay said. “I think that some instrumental leadership and his generosity made that possible.”

Finlay was referring to the monumental deal that turned the nancial tides for the Opera in the early 90s. e state of Colorado legalized gambling in 1991. Around the same time, according to Finlay, Martin had a vision of a way to set the Opera up for the future.

“So, Lanny negotiated with a Swiss gaming rm, who came in and put one of the rst casinos in Colorado into the Teller House,” Finlay said.

“ ey did all the improvements on the teller, the Teller House is an old hotel, that’s right next door to the opera house.”

e lease agreement itself brought millions of dollars into the organization, which was then put into an endowment fund, Finlay explained.

e Central City Opera’s Endowment Fund is a nonpro t that is also a separate entity from the Opera. Finlay said that the Opera has to apply for funding like other arts organizations.

“He (Martin) created this endowment fund for us that has seen us through a lot of really tough times,” Finlay said.

Several members of the Opera community expressed their gratitude for Martin and his work to help the Opera.

“It is an immense loss to all of us who love and have enjoyed Central City Opera for the last several decades,” said James R. Hilger, Jr. of the Central City Opera Honorary Board.

“Lanny, with Sharon (Martin’s wife), was a superb and wise leader in business and the arts, a perfect gentleman, and the most generous benefactor in our history. We have had many splendid past leaders, but Central City Opera exists to this day because of the years of support and planning that Lanny and Sharon have provided.”

Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser talks opioids in Idaho Springs

BY CHRIS KOEBERL CKOEBERL@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Colorado’s share of a $1.37 billion opioid settlement against parent grocery company Kroger will be approximately $70 million, according to Attorney General Phil Weiser.

e agreement would only be applicable to states in which Kroger operates, both under its own name or under the name of other subsidiaries, Weiser stated. In Colorado, Kroger owns King Soopers and City Market.

Dozens of government o cials from Clear Creek and Gilpin County joined Weiser at the Clear Creek County Health and Wellness Center in Idaho Springs Sept. 11.

City leaders from Idaho Springs, Georgetown, Empire and Dumont listened as Weiser described local e orts to battle the opioid crisis as a model for other cities and counties across Colorado.

Weiser pointed to the Clear Creek Health Assistance Team or CCHAT as a move in the right direction.

CCHAT is a recently instituted coordinated e ort with Clear Creek EMS, the Clear Creek County Department of Human Services

and law enforcement.

e team is underway running emergency calls with two providers: a community paramedic and a licensed crisis clinician.

“It’s always the right thing to have a co-responder program so we’re not asking law enforcement to do work that law enforcement isn’t best suited to do,” Weiser commented.

e AG listened as government representatives introduced themselves and talked about how the opioid crisis, addiction and mental health issues have a ected them or family members. Nearly everyone had a personal story.

Weiser listened and shook his head in acknowledgment.

“Destigmatizing conversations about addictions and behavioral health is critical,” Weiser said.

Weiser left the meeting promising to take suggestions and recommendations to sta for review and follow up.

Ultimately, Weiser commented, communication will be a key to recovery statewide.

“We need to be open about these struggles,” he said. “We need to be able to say, ‘It’s OK not to be OK.’ It’s not OK not to talk about it and not to get help”

Reflections and lessons learned from the Coal Creek Canyon Flood a decade later

e Coal Creek Canyon Association recently commemorated the 10th anniversary of the 2013 Coal Creek Canyon Flood. e Je erson County

Historical Commission’s annual publication Historically Je co stated that the ood is one of ve historic oods in Je erson County in the 21st century.

e ooding began with exponential rains on Sept. 9. e fallout from the rain would isolate communities like Coal Creek Canyon until November 11, when a major, highway 72, reopened after serious damage repair.

Historic floods

According to the Association of State Dam Safety O cials website, the Sept. 2013 ood was the result of “an unusual, late season storm event where warm moisture and upslope winds allowed this regional storm to dump up to 17 inches of rain over a sevenday period.”

e storms hit along the Front Range. According to the Denver Post, the event took nine lives and destroyed about 2,000 homes. It also washed out several major arteries inside and out of Je erson County.

ere were no deaths in Coal Creek Canyon. e damage was still extensive.

Suzy Schemel, manager of the Coal Creek Canyon Community Center, remembers the ood well.

“It was a 100-year ood,” Schemel said. “ e canyons were hit all the way to the North Estes Park and Lyons. All of the canyons, including Boulder Canyon was down.”

Schemel described the damage in other communities, to say that Coal Creek Canyon was not the worst hit. However, the community did take a few months to get back on their feet.

The community comes together

“So, our canyon was hit really hard, but we were only down until Nov. 3,” Schemel said.

It created problems getting out of the canyon from September to November when Highway 72 reopened.

“Golden Gate (Canyon Road) wasn’t hit,” Schemel said. “So, the only way we could get out of our canyon

Debris from the floods was an obstacle that the Coal Creek Community remembers. They had to dig out businesses and homes before repairs could begin.

was to kind of wind our way over to Golden Gate and come down Golden Gate Road, and then we would be in Golden. Or, we could go up to 119 that way through Golden Gate and be like in Idaho Springs, they have a safe way up there. at’s the only way we could get out. It was just really horrible.”

Inside Coal Creek Canyon, the community was reeling from all the damage, according to Schemel. She explained that they did have help from FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency), the state of Colorado, Je erson County Sheri ’s O ce, the American Red Cross, Xcel Energy and others.

“ at was our support,” Schemel said. “It took them a while, you know. But people didn’t have gas, with the Xcel lines broken. As you come up the canyon, they were just hanging loose up in there. So, once the gas was out, people didn’t have hot water. It was pretty dramatic, the impact of (gas line damage).”

ere wasn’t any loss of electricity in Coal Creek Canyon, but the school was out for a few months.

Schemel said the community accepted the help, but they also came together to help one another.

“People lost their houses, but no-

body died in our canyon,” Schemel said. “Everyone pulled together.”

She said they even worked as a community to get the local businesses up and running.

“And we all just got together and started digging,” she said. “ e rst thing we did was dig out our liquor store.”

Once the liquor store was running, the Coal Creek Canyon residents started on the Quick Mart, and then other businesses and homes followed.

Remembering September 2013

Schemel said that the recent commemoration of the September 2013 ood was to come together and remember those moments when the community came together to save their town. Coal Creek Canyon Community Center now has a monument to remember that day.

Schemel calls it “our rock.”

“Canyon Pines donated it,” Schemel said, referring to Canyon Pines, a residential community located at 64 Canyon Pines Drive in Arvada. “We had it engraved with the ood dates and thank you to the rst responders. And then we put two benches and some

Golden VFW the #StillServing campaign honors a local vet and his dog

e Golden VFW (Veterans of Foreign Wars) recently honored a local veteran and his dog for the VFW #StillServing campaign. Zachary Bursnall and his dog Zip were honored for their “dedication to country and community,” according to the announcement.

Bursnall got Zip in 2022.

“Since then, the duo has been #StillServing as commander of the Golden VFW Post, at memorial services, walking in parades, advocating for service dogs for veterans and at VFW events,” the announcement said. “Everywhere they go, Zip assists Bursnall, even at the Buddy Poppy fundraisers where Zip delivers owers to people.

Bursnall is #StillServing to educate other veterans on how joining the VFW and having a service dog can help ll the hole many veterans feel after leaving the military.”

e #StillServing campaign recognizes veterans of foreign wars who are still serving but as volunteers in and around their communities. e Veterans Civic Index reported in 2021 that vets average about 30% more hours per

year than civilians. About 40% of vets are involved in groups that are actively working on community issues. Vets also give 15 percent more to charity than civilians, according to the index.

Rocky Mountain McDonald’s Owners/Operators have $2,000 for K-12 teachers

Teachers can apply today to get a $2,000 “One Class at a Time” grant from Rocky Mountain McDonald’s Owners/Operators. e money is for any project that “improves the learning experience for their students during the 2023-2024 school year,” according to the announcement.

e program is taking applications now. Teachers must be prepared to answer the question, “How would you use this money to improve the learning opportunities for your students?” One teacher will be selected to win the $2,000 each week that school is in session through the end of the school year.

“As a local McDonald’s Owner who lives and works right here in the Denver area, I know how incredibly important it is to support education in our communities. Rocky Mountain McDonald’s Owners - being one of the largest employers in the state – know that education is very important and the foundation for success for our young people,” said Abraham Asfaw. “We are very excited to continue the second year of this program that contributes to enhancing educational opportunities where it’s needed the most.”

e Rocky Mountain McDonald’s Owners/Operators are a group of small business owners that own about 40 McDonald’s franchises all over the region. ey continue to support area teachers, the Colorado Parent Teacher Association, and area students through scholarships, grant awards, supply donations and more. e One Class at a Time grant is in its second year. It has helped 18 classrooms with a total of $36,000.

Lessons Learned

e memories are the only things that were taken away from the September 2013 ood event.

Je erson County Sherrif’s Deputy Emergency Manager Erika Roberts explained that the Sept. 2013 event changed the way federal, state and county governments handled such emergencies.

“FEMA has changed the way they do things and updated national doctrine, the (Colorado) state’s programs have evolved and grown,” Roberts said. “ e Sheri ’s O ce and (Je erson) County have built upon programs that existed in 2013. ey’ve grown in capacity and capabilities based on lessons learned locally, at the state and federal level.”

Je erson County Public Health Epidemiology, Planning and Communications Direc-

tor Christine Billings said her agency learned a lot about its own abilities.

“ e 2013 Coal Creek Canyon ood con rmed that JCPH has strong partnerships with many of our associate agencies,” Billings said. “JCPH had timely access to the correct contact information for its associates, and they were able to quickly connect with the right people during this incident. JCPH was able to successfully share information with healthcare coalition partners, which created good situational awareness. JCPH was able to successfully coordinate the provision of personal protective equipment for rst responders, to include access to vaccinations.”

According to Billings, this lesson helped Je co Public Health seven years later when the COVID-19 pandemic hit the county.

Roberts urges all Je co residents to review the Je erson County Emergency Management site for resources, tips and tools for preparing for a ood or any other natural disaster. Find that information on the Jefferson County website’s Emergency Preparedness page.

Kolacny Music, a staple of Denver’s ever-changing South Broadway corridor, is closing its doors for good after 93 years in business. e store is o ering major discounts on instruments and accessories as they prepare to close. e doors will be locked Sept. 30.

While David’s lengthy to-do list means he is too busy to feel verklempt, generations of musicians have made the time to reach out to him.

Sitting in the side room of his expansive store in the shadow of a harp he is repairing for the Colorado Symphony, David, 68, who lives in Englewood, read an email he recently received from a former customer.

Writing about a Spanish guitar purchased form Kolacny Music in 1963, the customer wrote, “it has been to California, Washington state, Iran, Scotland, all over England and currently lives with me in France. I play it every day and treasure every scar and mark it has acquired over 50 years. I’m so sorry to hear you are closing down. My mom passed away

a long time ago, but we both thank you so much. South Denver will never be the same.”

“And I’m getting tons of this. People just show up,” David said.

“ ey bring their parents in.”

Asked if that outpouring of support eased the pain of closing his doors, David said that it has always been this way. Many people, including local legends like Charlie Burrell, treated the store like a hangout over the years. David is accustomed to people coming by just to say hello, if not to shop.

“It’s how I grew up, from the time I was a kid,” he said. “You assumed everyone’s business was like that.”

David’s grandfather, William J. Kolacny, opened the store in 1930. Kolacny Music’s original location was in the Barth Building in downtown Denver. e family moved the business to Englewood — the Barth Building was demolished years later — before eventually settling on the corner of South Broadway and East Jewell Avenue.

e store was passed down to David’s father, who then passed it down to David, who now co-owns the business with his wife and sister.

Kolacny Music became the go-to place in Denver for local school music programs to rent and repair instruments.

“Kolacny closing is just absolutely gut-wrenching,” said Keith Oxman, a saxophonist and bandleader who also works as a band teacher at Denver’s East High School. “When I heard about it, part of me just died. I’ve been going into that store [since] the 1960s.”

Despite the business’ longevity — they survived the Great Depression, World War II, and nearly a century’s worth of other nancial and global

crises — the margins at Kolacny Music were always pretty thin.

“We never made a lot of money. My grandfather never had his house paid o ; he was always borrowing money to put back in the business,” David said. “If we made it through the month and had all the bills paid, we were pretty happy.

David explained that over time, participation in band and orchestra programs at local schools declined, meaning Kolacny’s clientele base did, too. e transition to online shopping was also bad for business. “People don’t come to a music store, necessarily, for every little thing anymore,” he said. “And the schools that have good programs are further out.”

“When we started, you could draw a circle around the store and that’s where all our customers were — the Denver Public Schools, the Englewood Public Schools,” David said. “But now you have to go look for the particular building in the particular district that’s got an administration that wants music and that hires a good teacher. So it’s spread out further and further. ere’s not that concentration of every school in the district [having] a great band.”

Oxman said that while enrollment is relatively steady in the East High School band program, “the instrumentation has gotten even worse than normal.”

“I don’t know what the future is going to bring as far as all of that goes. It’s not the heyday that it was in the 70s,” he said. “I have a concert band at the end of the school day. I don’t have any trumpet players in there. at’s never happened.”

Edwina Lucero is the music instructional and curriculum specialist with Denver Public Schools. “ e emphasis on large ensembles isn’t entirely relevant to students anymore,” she said, noting that the pandemic also interrupted the musical development for many students. “In the district, we’re trying really hard to reimagine what our music education looks like.”

Combined with changing shopping habits and the evolution — and in some cases, devolution — of local music programs, the COVID-19 pandemic accelerated Kolacny’s timeline.

“We got into a big hole with the COVID thing,” David said. “We took a pretty good-sized loan with the SBA and our bookkeeper was telling us, ‘you’re never going to make enough money to pay this loan o and it’s secured by your house.’”

David and the other owners tried to sell the business, but as David put it, “nobody in the music business has the money to buy another music business.” So when a company called Alchemy o ered a fair price to buy the building and turn it into an event space, the Kolacny family accepted.

e sale and impending closure has been surprisingly hard on David’s mother, who is 97. “She just couldn’t imagine,” David said. “She worked here too, for a while.”

David is not bitter or dejected about the closure. For about 40 years, he has spent six days a week at the store. He has hardly ever taken a vacation that wasn’t related to work in some way. While he’s looking forward to some much-de-

served leisure, he’s not going to stop working just yet. He built up quite the rolodex of harpists who rely on him for repairs and tune-ups, and he’ll continue his services from his home in Englewood.

Lucero said Kolacny’s closure should be a “wake up call” for the music education community in Denver.

“How are we going to maintain building up the future of musicmaking?” she wondered.

“It would be so nice to live in a place where we have strong music programs and strong music stores,” Oxman concluded. “I don’t know if that’s coming back or not, but God it would be so great if it did.”

Tips to protect child’s mental health from social media use GUEST COLUMN

Social media can be a great tool to help build connections, stay informed and engage with others. However, it can become all-consuming and potentially damaging to adolescent brain development, which is a cause for concern.

A recent advisory issued by U.S. Surgeon General Vivek Murthy calls attention to the potentially harmful e ects social media has on children’s mental health. According to the report, 95% of teens ages 13-17 say they use social media, with more than a third saying they use it “almost constantly.” In addition, 40% of children ages 8-12 use social media, even though most platforms require users to be at least 13 to participate.

According to a study in the report, teens who spend more than three hours a day on social media face twice the risk of experiencing mental health issues, such as depression and anxiety. Other potential issues referenced in the report include:

• Body dissatisfaction, or disordered eating behaviors

• Social comparison

• Lower self-esteem

• Poor sleep

e information in this report corroborates with the what UnitedHealthcare providers are often seeing: an increased rate of harmful comparison, limited in-person interaction, feelings of loneliness and an uptick in anxiety, depression and other mental health issues. Dr.

Donald Tavakoli, national medical director for behavioral health at UnitedHealthcare, says the amount of time children spend online a ects their overall development.

e Surgeon General’s advisory comes as youth mental health remains in a state of crisis. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 1 in 5 children have a mental, emotional or behavioral disorder and only about 20% of those children receive care from a mental health provider.

ese ndings may be alarming for parents and tackling the issues surrounding social media use may feel overwhelming as well. esetips may help you and your child become more informed about social media use and, in turn, reduce potential harm:

Understand and monitor social media

Having a bit of background on the latest social media apps can help parents create better limits and boundaries for their kids. As children’s brains go through dramatic developmental changes, they could develop sensitivities associated with a desire

for attention and may have undeveloped self-control, especially during early adolescence. Social channels that promote “likes” or excessive scrolling may pose issues for developing brains. Limit chat functions, especially with strangers, and restrict inappropriate content.

Create a family social media plan

Set guidelines and boundaries when it comes to your family’s social media use. is can be agreed-upon expectations of what social media use looks like to your family, including screen time limits, online safety and protecting personal privacy.  e Academy of Pediatrics has a template that can guide you through the process.

Communication is key

Initiate open and honest conversations, without judgement, with your child about their activity on social media on a regular basis. Ask them about what they see on social media and pose hypotheticals, asking how they would respond in di erent scenarios. Ensure they know the signs of cyberbullying, and how permanent an online post can be.

Create tech-free zones

It can be helpful to restrict electronic use at least one hour before bedtime and through the night. Studies show two or more hours of screentime in the evening can greatly

disrupt the melatonin surge needed to fall asleep. Keep mealtimes free from technology and encourage in-person conversations. Encourage children to foster in-person friendships and build social skills.

Model healthy social media behavior

Children often learn by watching your behaviors and habits, so make sure you’re limiting the time you spend on social media and be responsible with what you choose to post. When you are on your device, tell your children what you’re doing. While the Surgeon General’s advisory focuses on the potential negative impacts of social media use on children and teens, it also acknowledges social media can provide some bene ts. It can be helpful in creating community connection over shared interests, abilities and identities or providing space for self-expression. Encouraging children to form healthy relationships with technology is critical.

Adults cannot a ord to wait to understand the full impact of social media because adolescents’ brains are still developing. It’s crucial that parents take an active role in helping their children safely navigate social media.

People deserve an explanation as to how their tax dollars are being spent

The premier ballot initiative on this fall’s ballot is Proposition HH, which deals with residential property taxes. e proposition begins with the phrase, “Shall property taxes be decreased…” is is misleading. While property taxes will be decreased in the short term from a projected 20 to 30% hike because of the state’s hot real estate market, they are still projected to rise over the long term, according to Colo-

JOE WEBB

rado Public Radio.

What HH will also accomplish is to allow the state to set aside up to $2 billion per year instead of refunding it to taxpayers.

is provision is why advocates for the Taxpayers Bill of Rights say that Proposition

HH will end taxpayer refunds from government overspending. It sets such a high bar for TABOR refunds to be permitted that it will render the possibility of such refunds almost impossible. Additionally, I have read that local governments will be barred from issuing TABOR refunds due to Proposition HH.

e usual argument from the advocates of TABOR is that the people deserve the right to keep any excess money that the govern-

ment does not spend and that the people deserve the right to vote up or down on any tax increase. If the people have a right to have a say in how the government spends their money, then shouldn’t the state lay out its budget needs in speci c detail, making the case for an extra $2 billion, so that the people can examine them before they vote? If the state needs $500 million for

Autumn ushers in the cool and creepy

Your favorite equinox guy is back, checking in right before we o cially begin the best season of year — autumn. Now that we’re about to jump into the time of chilly evenings, falling leaves and hearty foods, it’s my duty to round up some of the best ways to welcome fall.

The spirit of Led Zeppelin returns to Red Rocks

Despite the fact that most people go to Red Rocks to see some of the music industry’s biggest names, I love that a handful of times during the season, audiences attend to just hear the music of some of their favorite artists – artists that can’t tour any more. It’s like the world’s best amphitheater turns into the biggest bar stage around.

at’s the case with Get the Led Out, an evening honoring the music of rock legends Led Zeppelin. You’ll get to her top notch covers of some of rock’s most important songs — your “Stairway to Heaven,” your “Whole Lotta Love,” your “Kashmir.” If you’re a fan of the band, like I am, you’ve no doubt wondered what it would be like to hear some of their songs bouncing o the famous red rocks. Now you can know.

e concert is at 7:30 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 22 and tickets can be purchased at www.axs.com.

Clarke’s Concert of the Week — Death Cab for Cutie at Mission Ballroom

Talk about music made for the season. Twenty years ago, Washington-alt rock legends Death Cab for Cutie released “Transatlanticism,” a magnum opus about the spaces between people, and the same year,  e Postal Service (Death Cab’s lead singer/songwriter Ben Gibbard’s side project) unleashed “Give Up,” a genre-de ning indie electronica record that explored similar themes. Both albums were in constant rotation for yours truly and countless others like me. ey both breathe beautifully under slightly grey autumn skies and have aged wonderfully over the years.

FORMER FOOD WRITER POINTS TO RESTAURANTS OUTSIDE THE CENTRAL CITY THAT STAND OUT

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Mark Antonation endeavored to eat at every restaurant on Federal Boulevard in Denver city limits.

He started near Hampden Avenue on the south end and made his way up above 50th Avenue on the other end, north of Interstate 70.

Skipping national-chain and dollar-a-scoop joints, he ate food from one restaurant each week.

He did that for about 75 weeks.

So Antonation, the former food editor at Westword, knows a thing or two about the Denver metro area’s restaurant scene.

He had set out to capture the

spirit of the storied Federal Boulevard — with its authentic Asian and Mexican eateries — about a decade ago, but his food writing travels also took him through the suburbs outside Denver.

What makes the Denver area’s food scene di erent from other parts of the country is how the di erent cuisines are spread out and, in a way, “integrated,” he said.

“In other cities, say you want to nd a Chinese restaurant. You’re probably (going to) go to a district where there’s a high concentration of that or any other style,” Antonation said.

But in “metro Denver, especially when you hit the outskirts — ornton, Broom eld, those areas — it’s a lot more mixed,” he said.

TOP LEFT: Javier Cruz, owner of Garibaldi Mexican Bistro, sits at the restaurant on Sept. 6 in Englewood. Cruz emphasized what he says is the unique nature of his menu compared to other Mexican restaurants.

And there’s good news for foodies in the suburbs: With real estate becoming so expensive, a lot of new restaurants are opening in the north Douglas County area, Antonation said.

Elsewhere, around “Westminster and ornton and Broom eld, there’s a lot of Asian restaurants opening up there, Chinese and ai speci cally,” Antonation said.

“If you live in the suburbs — if you live outside the suburban area even — it’s probably going to keep getting more interesting for you,” Antonation said.

Colorado Community Media asked Antonation what restaurants outside of Denver stand out to him. Here are some of his favorites — places where you might encounter dishes that you can’t nd anywhere else.

gas right across from the Gothic eatre, you might never notice that there’s a restaurant in the same building as a Conoco convenience store.

Years ago, Javier Cruz stopped to get gas there, and a small food outlet was serving burgers at the time.

“And kids said, ‘Can we get fries?’” Cruz said, recalling how he noticed the restaurant.

Cruz spoke to someone with the business who said of the small space: “You want it? Take it,” Cruz recalled.

Di erent food outlets have come and gone at that spot — Cruz still receives mail for many other businesses, he said.

But eight years in at that location, Cruz and his family are still serving up food that he says sets them apart from other Mexican restaurants in the area. He put up a wall to separate the restaurant from the gas station part of the building, adding new paint and artwork and a new ambiance.

With heritage from Mexico City, his family felt that “we never nd this kind of food here,” Cruz said. “So when we opened this restaurant, we said we’ve got to sell this.”

He recommends the food on the “menu Azteca,” featuring dishes made with cactus that he says make Garibaldi unique.

You can nd Garibaldi Mexican Bistro on Broadway a few blocks north of Hampden Avenue in Englewood.

Chile con Quesadilla in Brighton e Chile con Quesadilla food trucks opened on March 15, 2020, just before the response to the coronavirus pandemic intensi ed and restaurants and bars stopped sit-down service.

“We were never shut down due to being classi ed as ‘take-out’ and gained exposure at a rapid pace when many restaurants were shut down,” said Christina Richardson, co-owner of Chile con Quesadilla. “We frequently went to neighborhoods, apartment complexes, HOAs and served food to people who were staying in their neighborhoods (and) homes while on lockdown.”

Since Chile con Quesadilla started, Richardson and her husband Jason have received several local awards for their food, and they recently opened a brick-and-mortar Chile con Quesadilla restaurant location in Brighton.

“Our liquor license got approved on May 5, 2023, and (we) have been operating since,” Richardson said.

She says that Chile con Quesadilla is “not traditional in any sense.”

“We create many di erent and unique avor combinations, for a Mexican-American

fusion with a multi-award-winning green chile at the heart of a lot of the recipes,” Richardson said.

Her top sellers include birria, or beef, tacos and the BBQ bacon brisket tacos, dubbed “ e Triple B.”

“We are a quesadilla concept, but anything on the menu can be ordered in the form of quesadillas, tacos, nachos, sandwiches or a bowl, essentially turning nine menu options into 45 di erent items,” Richardson said.

You can nd the Chile con Quesadilla restaurant on Main Street in Brighton, a couple blocks north of Bridge Street or state Highway 7.

Hong Kong Station in Centennial

A bustling dinner crowd came on Sept. 6 to Hong Kong Station, a restaurant that stands out among Chinese eateries.

“It’s kind of an unusual Chinese restaurant for Americans because a lot of the food is in uenced by Europeans who settled in Hong Kong, so they have a baked rice dish that has like a pork chop and Italian-style tomato sauce,” said Antonation, the former food writer.

e restaurant also serves traditional Hong Kong-style Chinese food, but it’s well known for its Hong Kong French toast, Antonation said.

He describes that dish as two thick slices of white bread usually with peanut butter and an egg batter, pan-fried and served with a big slab of butter.

“I think it was the rst place I knew of in metro Denver that was serving this, and it’s kind of become a trendy dish lately,” Antonation said.

You can nd the restaurant at 6878 S. Yosemite St., a bit south of Arapahoe Road in Centennial.

Farmhouse Thai Eatery in Lakewood

One of Antonation’s favorite newer ai places is Farmhouse ai in Lakewood near 1st Avenue and Wadsworth Boulevard.

“ eir dishes tend to, I would say, capture traditional avors, but they do a lot of interesting modern presentations or updates on traditional fare without straying too far from the canon,” Antonation said.

Wholly Stromboli in Fort Lupton

A standout Italian restaurant far north of Denver serves a Detroit-style, thick-crust pizza, Antonation said.

“And the weird thing is that the pan is rectangular and has a rectangular hole in the middle … and so the advantage is that every slice has a crusty edge, unlike a normal Detroit-style pizza where you’ve got some with a soft edge and crusty edge,” Antonation said of Wholly Stromboli.

You can nd that restaurant at 410 Denver Ave. in Fort Lupton.

What is the business of ferrets?

Exactly who decided that a group of ferrets is a business? Indeed, how did the weasel become a verb? Can a ferret business also ferret prairie dogs from burrows?

at self-important group of Europeans and Englishmen who began coining terms to identify groupings of individuals from a particular animal species might have been pleased that the “terms of venary” chosen by them centuries ago are still in use today.

Did their personal biases a ect the manner by which some species are judged? Certainly, these long-ago “namers” were unaware of the attributes of the species which interested them. In fact, what if the terms of venary were reversed?

Witnessing an exaltation of crows might be a more relevant descriptor for a species with su-

INSIDE THE OUTDOORS

perior intellect, perhaps even exalted intelligence? Sadly, a murder of larks could tarnish the image of the little bird forever. How about a utter of bats and a cauldron of hummingbirds?

Would folks build fancy bat houses while simultaneously maligning the diminutive hummingbird, writing mean poems about them?

Of course, some terms of venary simply cannot be reassigned. Could there be another candidate for a prickle of porcupines, a bloat of hippos or a tower of gira es?

Some species have endured disrespect for decades despite occupying a noble and indispens-

able role in the Animal Kingdom. Groups of sharks, those spectacular apex predators, are reduced to a mere shiver. And while more appropriately named, an ambush of tigers fails to capture the grandeur of such a majestic feline species.

In the 14th and 15th centuries, English gentlemen were judged by the extent of terms of venary they were able to present. ese colorful descriptions of selective traits give clues about which species were admired and which were unappreciated at that time in history. Descriptors like conspiracy (lemurs), ostentation (peacocks), unkind (ravens), or a maelstrom (salamanders) could not have been helpful in fostering a ection and esteem for those species.

Some terms of venary are simply a re ection of a species’ behavior like a gulp of cormorants, a scold of jays and a romp of otters.

Perhaps upon your next visit to Evergreen Lake, keep an eye out for gulps, utters, charms, parliaments, knots and convocations (cormorants, butter ies, hummingbirds, owls, toads and eagles). Of course, it is hard to escape the ubiquitous migraine (children).

In his 1965 book, “Lexicon of the Mediaeval German Hunt: A Lexicon of Middle High German,” author David Darby stated that this language is “arti cial, cultivated and self-conscious.”

If terms of venary are arti cial, we are within our rights to create our own terms. Perhaps a smudge of toddlers, drool of ice cream cones, zoom of computer screens, or a scorn of politicians could be added to the list.

Name your own terms of venary. e cleek of opportunities is endless.

teacher salaries, $700 million for road improvement, $100 million for pre-kindergarten schools and $200 million for prisons then the arguments could be made for more money which reasonable people may understand.

But that is not happening. What is happening is that voters are being asked to vote yes on Proposition HH and give the government $2 billion per year for a 10-year period. at is $20 billion of taxpayer money and

demands like those being made in Proposition HH is why TABOR was passed by the voters back in 1992. e people deserve an explanation as to how their tax dollars are being spent. I am voting against Proposition HH for this and many other reasons. I urge you to join me because Proposition HH was originally touted as a solution for high property taxes but it does not accomplish that goal. Voting no on HH forces legislators and the governor back to the table to craft a better solution. Let’s make that happen.

Air quality group targets Colorado smokestacks

BY MICHAEL BOOTH THE COLORADO SUN

A series of Colorado’s largest greenhouse gas-emitting sectors have come under the regulatory knife for cuts in recent years: oil and gas producers, gasoline vehicles, large buildings, cement plants and coal- red utilities.

Now a secondary tier of big-name greenhouse gas polluters is facing new rules from an Air Quality Control Commission vote this month, with the goal of 20% emissions reductions from a 2015 benchmark at industrial companies like Suncor, Molson Coors, Cargill Meat Solutions and Leprino Foods.

While the industries argue a 2030 timeline for those cuts is too quick and expensive, environmental and neighborhood groups say the state’s draft rules for the legislation-mandated cuts won’t actually reduce greenhouse gases for at least seven years. ey also say a trading plan to allow the 18 sites on the list to buy carbon credits to meet the rules is

a game where the same side always loses: low-income and high-minority neighborhoods disproportionately impacted by decades of harmful pollutants.

e idea of a big company like Suncor buying carbon credits from a greener company instead of cutting pollution at their own facility, next to those beleaguered neighbors, is only one objection environmental groups are bringing to an Air Quality Control Commission vote at the Sept. 20-22 meetings.

e main topic for the commission’s meeting is the proposed rule ful lling a mandate from the 2021 legislature requiring 20% cuts by 2030 in the greenhouse gas emissions of a third tier of Colorado’s largest polluters. e by-far largest polluters, utilities, were targeted in previous legislation and rules, while the second tier of only four industrial sources was regulated — controversially — by rules passed in 2021. State health department sta ers’ justi cation for regulating the next 18 industrial sources in September’s

vote says disproportionately impacted, or DI, communities are well protected by the draft regulations, and will breathe easier from the carbon dioxide cuts and from drops in other pollutants that are a side bene t of attacking carbon.

e state’s rules say the next companies targeted will only be able to buy credits to ful ll their cuts if they’ve proven they’ve installed all possible cost-e ective pollution control measures.

What’s “cost e ective” when it comes to pollution is not exactly a settled question.

Groups that ght for DI communities say the whole point of environmental justice provisions embedded in climate laws is to cut pollution right where it has hurt people most. Nor does setting the “social cost” of carbon at $89 a ton account for heat exposure and high rates of asthma, heart problems and other ailments in Colorado’s industrial neighborhoods, according to rule comments by GreenLatinos, Environmental Defense Fund and others.

e EDF points out another troubling aspect of the state’s proposed rule: Because of how and when the benchmarks were set, the 18 companies as a group will actually be al-

lowed to increase their greenhouse gas emissions slightly before steeper cuts kick in for 2030.

“As a result of the in ated baseline and modest interim reduction targets, the proposed rule would allow half of the facilities to increase emissions or make no reductions, relative to current levels, for the next six years,” the EDF said. at outs the urgency of the climate change problem and state laws demanding that reductions start now, the nonpro t says.

Even the state’s draft, revised after expert comments, would let the group of 18 facilities “emit nearly 1.2 million tons more climate pollution over the decade than if pollution from these industries stayed at where they are today,” said Katie Schneer, Colorado based senior climate analyst for EDF. “ at equates to an increase of 9% above today’s pollution levels from these facilities in each year leading up to 2030, with only a 5% reduction in 2030.”

A group of state lawmakers who say they wrote and pushed through

the 2021 industrial pollution legislation sent a letter to the AQCC warning the division’s draft rules would not achieve the required greenhouse gas cuts, and won’t shield the industries’ neighbors from the co-pollutants produce alongside carbon.

“ e current draft deviates signi cantly from the intent of the law we worked to pass,” said the letter, signed by Capitol leaders including Sen. Faith Winter, D-Westminster; Rep. Jennifer Bacon, D-Denver; and, Rep. Elizabeth Velasco, D-Glenwood Springs, and 13 others.

e environmental groups’ redlining of state draft rules all emphasize the need for speed.

“Given the cumulative buildup of carbon pollution in the atmosphere, rapid reductions in greenhouse gases are crucial for limiting the overall amount of warming we will experience,” the EDF said.

Colorado’s Air Pollution Control Division Director Michael Ogletree said state sta are continuing to revise the draft rules in regard to environmental and industry comments, and will continue revisions right up to the commission’s hearing date.

e largest annual carbon emitters

in the state are utilities burning coal, and their steep mandated cuts are on pace and handled in a separate series of regulations.

So what big corporations are the industrial targets in these latest climate rules? Industrial manufacturing polluters were rst targeted in a set of rules called Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Energy Management for Manufacturing or GEMM 1.  at rst industrial phase sought carbon cuts from only four major sources in the state: ree cementmaking kilns, and Pueblo’s Evraz steel plant, each putting out more than 50,000 tons of carbon a year. ose industries got some special breaks along with the required emissions audits and cuts, because they are considered “energy intensive and trade exposed,” meaning they can claim it’s hard to clean up their fuel source without raising expenses to a point where foreign competition puts them out of business.  is month’s vote is for GEMM 2, a ecting 18 more corporations whose facilities put out 25,000 tons or more of carbon. It’s a list of familiar companies: JBS Swift, Western Sugar, Suncor, Molson Coors, Cargill, Anheuser-Busch, Leprino Foods. Together, the 18 put

out about 2.4 million tons of carbon dioxide a year, while Colorado’s overall carbon output across all sources was about 126 million tons in 2020.

“We oppose trading schemes and cost thresholds that allow corporations to avoid improvements that will improve the local environmental quality for the communities that surround them,” said Ean Tafoya, Colorado director for GreenLatinos. “We are especially concerned that the Colorado Energy O ce is backing an industry proposal to pay to pollute in communities rather than protect communities like the Environmental Justice Act requires.”

Suncor’s pre-hearing statements to the commission, meanwhile, said the 2024 launch time for the earliest greenhouse gas cuts are too “aggressive,” and are not required by the 2021 legislation that set up the next tier of industrial rules. Suncor, which requested an hour at the hearings to present its objections, also said the draft rules don’t o er a “technically feasible and cost-e ective alternative” for some industries, and do not create a stable or liquid trading market for the carbon credits.

Raw milk debate takes on new energy

Battle against pasteurization pasteurized boosted by ‘Food Freedom’ movement

BY JENNIFER BROWN THE COLORADO SUN

A blonde cow named Punky munches on a clump of deepgreen alfalfa and orchard grass, her bottomless brown eyes xed on the spot where her newborn calf is hidden in the tall weeds.

Farmer Doug Wiley will load the hours-old calf and his jerseyBrown Swiss cow into a trailer later today headed from the pasture to

the milking barn. Punky has too much milk for the baby bull to drink on his own, though the cow will nurse her calf for the next few months. ey’ll spend their days moving from pasture to pasture, chasing the thickest and greenest grasses.

From the peaceful farm east of Pueblo, where yellow sulphur butter ies hover above the elds and the cows seem like they’re living their best lives, comes perhaps the most controversial food product in Colorado: raw milk.

Selling raw milk, which is not pasteurized, or cooked, to kill any harmful bacteria, is illegal in this state. e only way to get it legally is to become one of the owners of a herd of cows or goats, because farmers are allowed to consume

Wiley, who wears a red cap that says “Make Milk Raw Again,” has about 250 shareholders, each of whom has signed a bill of sale to become part owner of his herd of 40 milk cows. e shareholders sign contracts specifying that Wiley will care for and milk the cows, and that the shareholders will pay a boarding fee of $57 per month.

ere is a waiting list, and no one can sign a bill of sale before touring Larga Vista Ranch and meeting the cows.

Each share comes with one gallon of raw milk per week, which shareholders must pick up by driving dirt roads through the sorghum and corn elds of Pueblo County, or meeting at the drop-o spots in Colorado Springs. In other words, they really want it.

About one-third of Wiley’s shareholders say they cannot digest pasteurized milk. Some are putting it in bottles for their babies. All go through the trouble of buying part of a cow herd because they believe raw milk is healthier, providing enzymes that they say helps digestion, and has a richer, sweeter taste.

e Raw Milk Association of

Colorado maintains that before milk is pasteurized, it’s a “living rich food” that contains colloidal minerals, vitamins A, C and B, and enzymes that aid in the digestion and absorption of the milk’s sugars and fats. “ e alteration of foods and their nutrient content over the course of the last century has had long-term negative impact on the ability to maintain optimum human health and de nitely worsens or initiates chemical and food sensitivities,” the association says.

e U.S. Food and Drug Administration banned the sale of unpasteurized milk across state lines in 1987, aiming to protect consumers from sickening and potentially deadly outbreaks caused by E. coli, salmonella and campylobacter.

e FDA maintains there are no health bene ts to drinking raw milk and that it’s unsafe, especially for children and older people. But states are free to make their own laws.

Lately, the debate over raw milk is taking on new energy as part of the “food freedom” movement. e push for more farm-to-table food and less government interference

has led Colorado policymakers in recent years to loosen restrictions on local, custom meat processing and pass the Cottage Foods Act, which lets people sell goods made in their own kitchens, no license or inspection required.

Still, Colorado’s rules on raw milk are stricter than in any of its eight surrounding states and most of the West.

In Wyoming, Oregon, Montana, Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas, farmers are allowed to sell raw milk directly to consumers, such as straight from the farm or at farmers markets. Retail milk sales are legal in Utah, Idaho, Washington, Arizona, New Mexico, Nevada and California.

A farmer who operated dairies in Loveland and Cha ee County is credited with developing the herd-share concept to sell raw milk in Colorado. State law bans its sale, but doesn’t prevent farmers from eating or drinking their own products straight from the farm.  e arrangement was nearly

banned in 2004, though, when regulators at the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment who knew about the herd-share option announced they were considering a rule change. Raw milk farmers and shareholders protested by the dozens, and public health o cials backed o . en in 2005, the legislature passed a law stating that a “consumer with an ownership interest in the cow, goat or herd” can obtain raw milk. When a 2010 outbreak linked to raw goat milk from Longmont sickened 30 people and hospitalized two children, state health department warnings about raw milk resurged and there were renewed calls for stricter policies, such as creating consequences for people who get milk through a herd share and then give it to others. But the herd-share rule remained intact.  en this summer, the Colorado Libertarian Party o ered to make a deal to help Republicans get elected if they would, among other promises, pledge to support raw milk. e state Libertarian Party vowed it would not run in competitive legislative districts when the GOP candidate agrees to vote to cut taxes and “support food free-

dom, such as raw milk and local meat processing.”

State law requires raw goat and cow milk dairies that sell shares to register with the state health department, though they are not inspected. ey also must include a warning about the potential risks, and shareholders are not allowed to share their milk with others, though it’s unclear whether there are consequences for violating that part of the rule.

e Raw Milk Association of Colorado lists more than 230 farms that sell raw milk, including options for milk from sheep, yaks and camels.

Colorado, with its independent spirit, is likely to eventually see a coalescence of freedom-loving libertarians, Republicans supporting farmers’ rights, and Democrats in favor of nonprocessed food choices to rally around raw milk, said Dan Waldvogle, director of the Rocky Mountain Farmers Union.  is doesn’t seem far o . Gov. Jared Polis, a Democrat with libertarian leanings, is already on board, telling e Sun this week that he hopes Colorado moves to “fully legalize the production and sale of raw milk, properly labeled,

so that those who prefer it are able to legally obtain it with greater ease.”

e governor said people should have the freedom to choose whether to drink raw milk, pasteurized milk or no milk. “Compared to many other choices that are fully legal, including fatty foods and excess alcohol, the risk of raw milk is low,” Polis said via email.

Waldvogle, with the farmers union, said he felt he was in a “back-alley drug deal type of situation” when he was part of a herd share and picked up his weekly raw milk in Salida, literally in an alley. “And God forbid if I was out of town that Friday,” he said, explaining why he dropped out. “We were paying a premium and we weren’t drinking all the milk.

“Food safety should be paramount,” he said. But “our policy absolutely supports informed consumers being able to assess risk … putting consumers in the driver’s

seat.”

“ at was enough of an uphill battle to create the raw milk allowances that we even have now,” he said. “You get one person in there that says the word ‘salmonella’ and gets everyone worked into a frenzy. But there has got to be a balance to make sure you are creating access.”

e food-freedom movement is even more evident in other states.

Iowa, where the legislature had waved o previous attempts to legalize raw milk, passed a law allowing direct sales from farmers to customers this year. Wyoming in 2015 passed the “Food Freedom Act,” allowing farmers to sell raw milk and other farm goods directly to customers and at farmers mar-

kets, though not in retail stores. e law was a step up from the herd-share model Wyoming raw dairy producers had been using.  is year, Wyoming lawmakers were debating mayonnaise, clarifying that “potentially hazardous” products, such as those that contain raw eggs, are included among the homemade goods that people can sell.

“Raw milk is a superfood and I really think people are realizing that again,” said Christine Hampshire, who has grown from one family milk cow at her Wyoming farm to milking 12 cows to meet demand. She sells the milk at a farmers market that’s open four days per week and includes goods from other producers.

Aron Lam, mayor of the Weld County town of Keenesburg and a libertarian, said it’s time that raw milk policies evolve, arguing that animals raised naturally on small farms are kept clean and treated like pets. Besides, he said, people should have the right to eat what they want.

He ran as leader of the small plains town northeast of Denver along Interstate 76 on a “food freedom” platform. One of his rst acts as mayor was to get the town council to repeal its prohibition on residents selling chicken eggs to their neighbors.

“ ere is risk versus bene t to everything in life,” he said. “If some people think the small risk of illness outweighs the health bene ts, I don’t think it should be the government stepping in to say, ‘You can’t do this.’”

Department of Public Health and Environment. ose outbreaks sickened 247 people, and included a 2016 outbreak at Wiley’s Larga Vista Ranch in Pueblo County that resulted in 17 people falling ill.  Wiley, his face shaded by a wide-brimmed straw hat as he walks through the cow pasture in rubber boots, says he knows what happened to cause the foodborne illness that health o cials traced back to his farm nine years ago. He had been in the hen house just before milking his cows and must have carried some campylobacter bacteria on his hands.

Since then, there has been a strict policy on the ranch that no one milks a cow without rst scrubbing up.

He lost a couple of shareholders because of the outbreak, but also got calls from people who wanted to sign up when they heard there was raw milk for sale in Pueblo County. People who get food poisoning from campylobacter typically have diarrhea, fever and stomach cramps.

Lam pointed to data from the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which advises against drinking raw milk, indicating about 3% of Americans regularly drink raw milk yet there are only a handful of outbreaks reported each year.

But the CDC says that as more states have allowed raw milk sales, outbreaks are increasing. Places where raw milk was legally sold had 3.2 times more outbreaks compared with areas where it was illegal, according to one study that spanned 1998-2018. In the six years from 2007-12, 26 states reported 81 outbreaks linked to raw milk, resulting in 979 illnesses.

Colorado has had 14 outbreaks linked to raw milk since 1989, according to data from the state

In the milk barn, four cows line up at a time in an operation that looks about as far from a mass commercial dairy as exists. Each cow has their udder washed with an iodine solution before they’re attached to a milking machine. e milk is carried down a tube through the wall and into a room where cows aren’t allowed. ere, it’s stored in a stainless steel tank at 37 degrees. Later, Wiley and his two workers transfer the milk to half-gallon glass or plastic jugs that line the shelves of a refrigerator until pickup or delivery day.  e milk has a yellowish tint, not white like the pasteurized, storebought kind, and it’s sweeter, though Wiley says he can taste a di erence in the avor depending on what grasses his cows are eating. As the milk jugs sit, the cream rises, creating a thick layer at the top. It’s best to shake it before pouring, unless someone is trying to hog the creamiest part for themselves.

“Most of the little children that come and sign up and try the milk say it’s like drinking a milkshake,” he said. “ e last time I tried to drink store-bought milk it was like, oh ugh, no wonder people are coming to me.”

RAW MILK

Wiley, the youngest of ve brothers who grew up on the dairy farm, drinks a half-gallon every day. After he eats in a restaurant, he drinks a tall glass of milk at home because he says it helps him digest. “Skim milk,” he said, “is a disaster that should never have been put on the population.”

Before Wiley began selling raw milk shares about two decades ago, customers were driving from Pueblo County to as far away as Loveland to get raw milk.

Wiley’s parents operated a commercial dairy for decades, but had to sell o their cows, equipment and part of their land in the farm bust of the early 1990s. He studied agronomy at Colorado State University and returned to the farm, where he began working the land that his family has farmed for 100 years. He grows vegetables organically, without pesticides, and typically plants onions, beets, sweet corn and melons. He raises grass-fed beef and pasture-raised pork. His animals don’t receive antibiotics or vaccines. e cows eat only grass and a molasses supplement, no grain.

“Nutrition isn’t necessarily a starting point in discussions of farming and agriculture and it needs to be,” Wiley said. “If we started there, then raw milk would be part of the conversation. It all starts with nutrition. You just don’t one day quit vaccinating. You have to have good minerals in the soil.”

Wiley’s goal is raising the most

ed, then your milk is safe.”  e California mom became a food safety advocate 17 years ago, after her then 7-year-old son

Doug Wiley says raw milk is far more nutritious than pasteurized milk, especially for the increasing number of children who are lactose intolerant. “Pasteurization destroys the enzymes that help you digest the milk,” Wiley said. “Natural enzymes help you digest your food.”

ended up in the hospital for two months with hemolytic uremic syndrome that threatened to destroy his kidney function. The boy was sickened by E. coli after drinking raw cow’s milk that McGonigle-Martin had purchased at a grocery store near her home in Murrieta, Calif., hoping that maybe it would help with his attention deficit disorder.

Two and a half weeks after buying the milk, McGonigle-Martin’s son got severe diarrhea and was rushed to the hospital.

McGonigle-Martin, who is on the board of the Chicago-based national organization STOP Foodborne Illness, said public health officials are losing ground on protecting the public from raw milk. She has testified before policymakers across the country, including multiple times in Iowa, and watched as national raw milk advocacy groups, including the Weston A. Price Foundation, have built support in various states for food-freedom policies.

On top of that, TikTok and Instagram, where influencers are touting the health benefits of raw milk, are not helping, she said.

“On social media they make

it sound so good that I think that is outweighing the public health message,” she said. “It’s just people saying, ‘I’m drinking raw milk. It’s great! It’s healing my body! You should drink raw milk.’”

Promoters have spread “propaganda” that pasteurized milk is a processed food, McGonigle-Martin said. “We’re in a time where you don’t want to eat processed food. I am all for eating healthy and a lot less processed foods, but people have to understand that milk is an entirely different medium.”

She puts milk in the same category as meat — it requires cooking to kill the pathogens.

“People could do it safely for five, six, seven years and not have a serious illness happen, and then one day, it happens,” she said. “I think that’s the hard part.”

In some areas, raw milk is entwined with homeschooling, among families who want to buy natural food from small farmers. That’s distressing to McGonigleMartin, who found that most of those who’ve been hospitalized because of raw milk were children. “This really is a crime,” she said. “They market to pregnant women and children. This is the base they want buying the milk.”

Wiley has never gotten sick from raw milk. No one in his

family, not even his 90-year-old mother, fell ill in the 2016 outbreak blamed on campylobacter bacteria.

They speculate it’s because they grew up on the land, with the cows and pigs and chickens. Kids who grow up on dairy farms drinking raw milk also have a lower incidence of asthma and allergies, according to one study.

For Kenneth Gardner, a shareholder in Wiley’s herd since 2007, raw milk is part of an organic food regimen that he says prevents him from having health problems or disease.

“Pasteurized milk is toxic,” he said while picking up his raw milk share at a Colorado Springs farmers market. “It’s not good for your body. I don’t ever drink (pasteurized) milk and I hardly ever go out to eat because the food sources of all the restaurants are basically the same — they’re all from the big food giants.”

Gardner and his brother go through about two gallons of milk per week, he said. They drink it, but also make kefir, which is fermented and the texture of yogurt or cottage cheese. He traces the origin of his pure and raw food diet back to the early 2000s, when he read “Fast Food Nation,” an expose about the U.S. fast-food industry and, specifically, McDonald’s.

“ e commission needs to carefully consider the design of the proposed rule to ensure that it does not negatively impact Colorado’s fuel supply, Colorado’s asphalt supply, and consumer prices,” Suncor said.  Colorado residents can follow the

“I just got more and more religious about what I put in my mouth,” he said.

Mariah Maza, another shareholder of Wiley’s herd, is pregnant and has two kids who are 2 and 3 years old. She switched to raw milk after hearing it had more nutrients, and talking about it via text with her deployed husband.

“I felt a lot better about giving my kids milk before bed or giving them milk as a snack, and I just felt better about what I was feeding them,” she said. “And I’m pregnant right now so I’m really glad to have raw milk to drink.”

Part of it, too, is knowing the guy who is handling the milk and how the cows live on the farm, Maza said. “I think they’re very specific about how they grow their crops and how they treat the cows, and everything’s organic,” she said. “So that was really important to us, too.”

Group opposing Proposition HH has deep pockets

BY SANDRA FISH THE COLORADO SUN

Four issue committees opposing Proposition HH, the 10-year property tax relief plan on the November ballot, raised nearly $1.2 million and had spent $307,000 through Aug. 30, according to campaign nance reports led with the state.

No on HH, the main committee ghting the measure, has raised and spent the most cash of any group working on the initiative, at about $1 million raised and $200,000 spent through last month.

Most of the committee’s money has come from two conservative dark-money political nonpro ts. Advance Colorado Action and

Defend Colorado each donated $500,000 to No on HH on Aug. 11.

e Colorado Sun de nes darkmoney groups as political nonpro ts that don’t disclose their donors.

No on HH’s biggest expense in August was about $200,000 on advertising.

Property Tax Relief Now is the only group supporting the measure. It raised $745,000 and spent about $170,000 through last month.

Property Tax Relief Now received $250,000 from Gary Advocacy LLC and $100,000 from the National Education Association in August.

e group’s largest expense last month was $70,000 on media consulting.

e committee previously received several large donations from a handful of liberal-leaning dark-money groups, including the Sixteen irty Fund. Boldly Forward Colorado, a nonpro t tied to Gov. Jared Polis, gave $50,000 to the committee, as did the Colorado Education Association, the state’s biggest teachers union.

e three other groups opposing Proposition HH are:

Americans for Prosperity, a national dark-money political nonpro t, which spent nearly $98,000 last month on canvassing and radio and digital ads opposing Proposition HH via its Colorado issue committee Taxpayers for a Better Deal and TABOR Coalition, each have raised less than $4,000 Preschool for All Coloradans,

which supports Proposition II, the other statewide measure on the Nov. 7 ballot, raised more than $215,000. No issue committee has registered to oppose Proposition II thus far.

e measure would let the state keep all of the money collected through the state’s increased nicotine and tobacco taxes and use the dollars to fund preschool access.

Evergreen, Valor capture Je co League boys golf team titles

BY DENNIS PLEUSS JEFFCO PUBLIC SCHOOLS

ARVADA — ree down, one to go.

Evergreen junior Tyler Long is one Class 4A Je co League boys golf individual medalist title away from the unthinkable. Long captured his third straight conference title on Sept. 12 at West Woods Golf Club shooting a 2-under-par, 70.

“It means something to me,” Long said about having the chance for a four-peat next year. “I really don’t think about it. I just play my game. If it happens, it happens.”

What happened early in his round could have been a major disaster for an average high school golfer. Long started his round 3-over-par through the rst two holes to spot the rest of the eld early on.

“I just hit two balls in the hazard those rst two (holes),” Long said. “It wasn’t great, but I was glad I was able to come back.”

Long went bogey-free in his last 16 holes, pouring in ve birdies to nish with a round of 70.

“I just know there is a lot of golf left,” Long said of dealing with his double-bogey, bogey start. “You have to stay patient. It is better to do that early in the round than be 3-over-par through 15 holes.”

e junior won four of the six 4A Je co League tournaments and nished with a 68.60 scoring average in the ve league tournaments he played. Long shot an incredible round of 61 at Lake Arbor Golf Course earlier this season.

Evergreen did win its fourth straight 4A team title. Golden was a distant second place a full 180 strokes behind the Cougars. Juniors Liam Houlihan and Lincoln Mackay allowed the Cougars to sweep the top three spots in the allconference standings.

Long and the Cougars should be one of the top contenders for the 4A team title in a few weeks.

“Hopefully we can give it a better run this year,” Long said of the 4A state tournament coming up Oct. 2 and 3 at e Bridges in Montrose. “I think we are ready.”

First up for Long and the Cougars is regionals. Long said the Cougars know their regional course in Colorado Springs — Country Club of Colorado — very well. Evergreen, along with all the other 4A Je co programs, competed at the 4A Region 2 tournament on Sept. 20.

On the 5A side, Chat eld junior Jesse Hand won the individual title. For the third straight

year, the medalist title was decided in an extremely close race.

Hand edged out Valor Christian senior Ethan Rainey by a single stroke. Columbine junior Alex Lest nished third, just two strokes behind Hand.

“Honestly, I knew I was able couple of strokes back going into the day,” Hand said. “I didn’t know until the last hole that I had a chance.”

Hand asked his coach if he needed to eagle his nal hole to take the medalist title. e junior was relieved when he was told he actually had a 1-shot lead going into the par 5 18th.

Still, Hand had to scramble to make par after a poor third shot. His pitch to the green hit the ag stick and he was able to make a short putt for par to shoot an even-par, 72.

“It was a lot of fun but a stressful nish for sure,” Hand said.

Valor won the team title with Columbine nishing second and Chat eld third. e Chargers will head to the 5A Central Regional tournament

at the University of Denver Golf Club in Highlands Ranch on Sept. 20.

Hand is already a 2-time state quali er his freshman and sophomore seasons, but winning his rst league title does put some pressure on him.

“I just have to somehow break this curse that is happening,” Hand said. “I’m going to try to forget winning this and kind of move on. I want to focus a lot on regionals. It isn’t a give-in.” e curse is the past two 5A Je co League medalists haven’t quali ed for state. In 2021, Lakewood’s Max Lange won the 5A Je co League medalist title but didn’t qualify for state after a poor round at regionals. e same fate happened last season with Ralston Valley’s Dimarco Benallo — 5A

Je co’s 2022 individual champion.

No. 1 Arvada West takes down No. 3 Columbine in 5A Je co opener

BY DENNIS PLEUSS JEFFCO PUBLIC SCHOOLS

ARVADA — Arvada West’s softball team did something Wednesday afternoon that it hadn’t done in ve years.

e Wildcats took a 3-1 victory over Columbine — defending Class 5A state champions — that were No. 3 in the CHSAA Selection & Seeding Index. Besides being the Class 5A Je co League opener, it meant a little more for No. 1 A-West that had a 6-game losing streak against the Rebels.

“It is really big. It’s our rst win since 2018 against Columbine,” A-West senior catcher Mo Johnson said.

A-West’s last win over Columbine was Oct. 13, 2018 in a regional title game. e Rebels had four straight league wins over the Wildcats, along with a non-league and regional playo losses to Columbine in 2021.

“It has been awhile,” A-West coach Brenna Millikan said of ending the losing streak to Columbine. “Hats o to them. ey are a very well-coached team and as tough as nails. We knew we were going to have a ght this game. I’m so proud of my team for stepping up when we needed it most.”

A-West (13-2, 1-0 in league) actually needed to rally to get the victory. Columbine took a 1-0 lead in the third inning after sophomore Livi Keiter tripled and scored to give the Rebels (13-3, 0-1) the early lead.

Keiter — niece of A-West pitching legend Kami Keiter who led the Wildcats to 5A state titles in 1999 and 2000 — doubled to leado the game, but was stranded.

“Livi was awesome today,” Columbine coach Jim Santaniello

said of Keiter’s double and triple. “A few more timely hits and I think the whole complexion of the game changes.”

Columbine’s wasted opportunities early came back to haunt the Rebels as A-West senior ace Mac Ferguson got stronger on the mound as the game went along.

“ at is the version of Mac that we know she is capable of,” Millikan said after Ferguson picked up her eighth victory in the circle and kept her ERA below 1.0 on the season. “I think she really set the tone for us out there in the circle. e defense

had her back and when they make big plays behind her it allows her to settle in and do her thing.”

Ferguson had ve straight strikeouts through the middle innings while through the complete-game 6-hitter.

It also helped that A-West’s offense came alive in the bottom of the fourth inning with a trio of runs o Columbine senior pitcher Liz Phillips. Ferguson led o the inning with a walk and would score on an RBI double by Johnson to tie the game at 1-1.

Junior Jailynn Ausman gave A-

West the lead with an RBI triple that nearly left the yard. Ausman scored after a sacri ce y to right eld and play at the plate where Columbine catcher Eva Martinez wasn’t able to hang on to the ball as Ausman slid into home.

“I think that created a lot of momentum for us,” Johnson said of the extra base hits in bottom of the fourth inning by herself and Ausman. “It kept us going and brought the energy up. It kept rolling through the rest of the game.”

e Rebels held on to the 3-1 lead for the rest of the games with Ferguson giving up just a single and hitting a batter in the nal four

“I’m just so proud of my team and proud of our mental approach,” Ferguson said after A-West got the monkey its back when it came to the Rebels. “It was a hard-fought game and we battled the whole

A-West is in the early driver’s seat to win its rst 5A Je co League title since 2017.

“We are coming into this league part of the season with a goal in mind,” Millikan said. “We are just going to focus one opponent at a time because its a tough ght all the way through.”

Columbine will have an uphill climb trying to claim its third straight conference title.

“I told them not to let this loss de ne us,” Santaniello said of his post-game speech. “It was a matter of a couple of plays and a couple of key hits. We want to stay on our present course. We have higher goals. is is a setback, but it isn’t a de ning setback.”

Direct All Pleadings to: Bushong & Holleman PC, Attn: Steve Bushong & Cassidy Woodard, 1525 Spruce Street, Suite 200, Boulder, CO 80302. sbushong@BHlawyers.com; cwoodard@BH-lawyers.com 2. Names of Structures: 2.1. Hogan Ditch No. 2;

and 2.2. Hogan Reservoir No. 2. Collectively, the Hogan Ditch No. 2 and Hogan Reservoir No. 2 will be referred to herein as the “Structures.”

3. Descriptions of Conditional Water Rights: 3.1. Original Decree: The water rights associated with the Structures were originally decreed by the District Court in and for Water Division No. 1 (the “Water Court”) in Case No. 87CW297 on December 13, 1990, 3.2. Subsequent Decrees: Portions of the water rights associated with the Structures were made absolute or findings of reasonable diligence entered by the Water Court in Case Nos. 96CW1173, 03CW411, 10CW239, and 17CW3029, 3.3. Decreed Locations: 3.3.1. Hogan Ditch No. 2: The point of diversion for Hogan Ditch No. 2 is located in the E1/2 of the SW1/4 of Section 5, Township 2 South, Range 70 West of the 6th P.M., Jefferson County, Colorado, at a point approximately 1,475 feet from the south line and 1,630 feet from the west line of said Section 5. From this point, Hogan Ditch No. 2 heads northeast and terminates at Hogan Reservoir No. 2. Hogan Ditch No. 2 is used to fill Hogan Reservoir No.

2. See Exhibit A, 3.3.2. Hogan Reservoir No. 2: Hogan Reservoir No. 2 is located in a portion of the NW1/4 of the SE1/4 and the NE1/4 of the SW1/4 both in Section 5, Township 2 South, Range 70 West of the 6th P.M., Jefferson County, Colorado. See Exhibit A, 3.4. Sources: 3.4.1. Hogan Ditch No. 2: a spring located at the point of diversion for Hogan Ditch No. 2, tributary to Coal Creek, tributary to the South Platte River,

3.4.2. Hogan Reservoir No. 2: Hogan Ditch No.

2, 3.5. Appropriation Dates: June 1, 1938, for irrigation, livestock, and domestic purposes; December 1, 1985, for municipal, commercial, industrial, exchange, replacement, augmentation, and related beneficial uses, 3.6. Amounts:

3.6.1. Hogan Ditch No. 2: 70 gallons per minute (0.156 cubic feet per second),

3.6.2. Hogan Reservoir No. 2: 12 acre-feet with the right to fill and refill repeatedly at a filling rate of 0.156 cfs., 3.7. Uses: absolute for irrigation, livestock, domestic, commercial, industrial; conditional for municipal, exchange, replacement, augmentation, and related beneficial uses.

4. Request to Make Absolute: Hogan Reservoir No. 2 has been made absolute for only some of the decreed uses. Pursuant to C.R.S. § 37-92-301(4) (e), “[a] decreed conditional water storage right shall be made absolute for all decreed purposes to the extent of the volume of the appropriation that has been captured, possessed, and controlled at the decreed storage structure.” Accordingly, Applicants request that the Hogan Reservoir No. 2 water right be made absolute in its full decreed amount for all decreed uses, including the remaining conditional uses of municipal, exchange, replacement, augmentation, and related beneficial uses.

5. Request for Findings of Reasonable Diligence: For all portions of the conditional water rights associated with the Structures described in Paragraph 3 above that are not made absolute in this proceeding as requested in Paragraph 4 above, Applicants request findings that they have exercised reasonable diligence in the development of all such remaining conditional water rights and that said conditional water rights continue in full force and effect.

6. Diligence Activities: The water rights associated with the Structures are part of Applicants’ integrated water supply system. During the diligence period, Applicants have undertaken the following activities that demonstrate they have exercised reasonable diligence in the development of the remaining conditional water rights associated with the Structures:

6.1. Applicants continue to lease their property for the mining and extraction of aggregate materials. Water diverted and used by the Structures has been used either directly by Applicants or by the current lessee of the property for aggregate mining, Arcosa Lightweight. Applicants have initiated the process to renew the lease with Arcosa Lightweight in 2024. Such mining activities are also creating Hogan Reservoir on the property, and the subject water rights will be used for augmentation associated with Hogan Reservoir in the future,

6.2. Applicants conduct regular maintenance work to clean and maintain the Hogan Ditch No. 2 and Hogan Reservoir No. 2 structures. During the diligence period, Applicants rebuilt the inlet structure on Hogan Reservoir No. 2 and cleaned out the outlet ditch from Hogan Reservoir No. 2, 6.3. Applicants have pursued the development of a small subdivision on their property to construct five homes on five new parcels. In support of this effort, Applicants had surveys conducted and developed preliminary mapping of the proposed new parcels. Applicants also began evaluating the various infrastructure improvements and water system necessary to support the proposed subdivision. The subject water rights will be utilized to support the subdivision, 6.4. Applicants have also had ongoing

discussions with potential municipal users of the subject water rights. To meet such demand and to further support their own subdivision water needs, Applicants have been exploring the potential purchase of additional senior water rights and increased storage capacity on their property, 6.5. During the diligence period, Applicants adjudicated Water Court Case No. 17CW3137, making findings of reasonable diligence for the remaining conditional portions of the Hogan Reservoir. The above diligence activities are necessary prerequisites to applying the subject water rights to the remaining conditional uses.

7. Land Ownership: Applicants. WHEREFORE, Applicant respectfully requests that the court enter an order (1) granting Applicant’s request to make Hogan Reservoir No. 2 absolute for all decreed uses as described in Paragraph 4 above; (2) granting Applicant’s request for findings of reasonable diligence for the remaining conditional water rights associated with the Structures as described in Paragraph 5 above and continuing said conditional water rights in full force and effect; and (3) granting such other and further relief as deemed appropriate.
