No increases for water and sewer rates in 2022 BY LIAM ADAMS LADAMS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A debate that kicked off nine months ago about Westminster’s water rates for 2022 ended unceremoniously Aug. 10 when the City Council could not reach a consensus about new rates. Three council members supported increasing rates next year, three did not. Due to a lack of majority support for one direction or another, the city will not increase rates next year, which poses a serious challenge to the city’s current plan to construct a new water treatment plant by 2025. The council began meeting for special water study sessions last October in advance of the 2022 rate-setting process. In March, city staff presented recommendations to increase water rates by 3.9 percent and sewer rates by 5.5 percent. The council voted 5-1 to reject those recommendations in June. The council met for a study session on Aug. 10 to figure out a path forward. City staff still recommended raising rates because the city has forecasted the need to generate a certain amount of revenue to finance Water2025, or replacing the Semper Water Treatment Facility. Yet, the council ultimately didn’t agree on a solution. “I am very disappointed, and I think our community deserved better,” said Mayor Anita Seitz at Tuesday’s study session. “No amount of data is enough to SEE WATER, P4

Census Bureau: Adams County grew by 17.7% over decade New data show county has very low housing vacancy rate BY MARK HARDEN MHARDEN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The population of Adams County grew by 17.7% between 2010 and 2020, making it the seventh-fastestgrowing county in Colorado out of 64 counties. That’s according to redistricting data released Aug. 12 by the U.S. Census Bureau. Adams County’s population rose to 519,572 last year, up from 441,603 a decade earlier, the Census Bureau reported.

INSIDE: VOICES: PAGE 12 | LIFE: PAGE 14 | CALENDAR: PAGE 17 | SPORTS: PAGE 20

The county’s growth rate was higher than the 14.8% growth rate of Colorado as a whole. Adams is the fifth-most-populous county in Colorado, behind El Paso, home to Colorado Springs (730,395); Denver (715,522); Arapahoe (655,070); and Jefferson (582,910); and ahead of Larimer (359,066) and Douglas (357,978). The new census data also showed that Adams County in 2020 had a housing unit vacancy rate of 4.3%, tied with Jefferson and Douglas for the lowest rates in Colorado and well below the state average of 9.4%. Statewide, the fastest-growing county between 2010 and 2020 was Broomfield, with a 32.6% growth rate, the new numbers show. Broomfield ranked No. 30 among the nation’s fastest growing coun-

ties. That was followed by Weld County (30.1%), Douglas County (25.4%), lightly-populated Mineral County (21.5%), Larimer County (19.8%), Denver County (19.2%), Adams County (17.7%), El Paso County (17.4%), Arapahoe County (14.5%) and Elbert County (12.9%). Meanwhile, 15 of Colorado’s 64 counties lost population over the 10-year period, led by Kit Carson County, with a loss rate of 14.3%. The Census Bureau released the first local-level results from its 2020 census to give Colorado and other states the data they need to redraw the boundaries of congressional and legislative election districts. In Colorado, that process is under way by twin newly-established independent commissions.

Thornton political sign debate resurfaces Some councilors see code amendment as “slippery slope,” while others defend they are protecting free speech BY LIAM ADAMS LADAMS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

An amendment to the city of Thornton’s sign code that has sparked a fierce debate among the city council about free speech passed on a 5-3 vote at a meeting on Aug. 10. Primarily, the code change would allow residents to display signs or banners on legally parked vehicles on private property. Some council members worry it’s a slippery slope to allowing people to display offensive material with little accountability, but others supported the change as a defense of First Amendment rights. “It’s been coming back like a

KNOW YOUR CITY’S SIGN CODE With the November municipal election just a few months around the corner and with campaign season ramping up, it’s important to know what people can and cannot do with signs. Here are links to learn more: Westminster sign code: https://www.cityofwestminster.us/newsigncode Thornton sign code: https://library.municode.com/co/thornton/codes/code_of_ ordinances?nodeId=CO_CH18DECO_ARTVIISI Northglenn sign code: https://www.northglenn.org/Sign%20UDO.pdf bad dream,” said Councilman Sam Nizam, one of the three who voted against the amendment. He was joined by Councilors Jacque Phillips and Julia Marvin. Marvin echoed Nizam at the meeting on Aug. 9. “It doesn’t seem like anything changed from the last time we voted,” she said. Mayor Jan Kulmann, Mayor Pro Tem Jessica Sandgren, and Councilors David Acunto, Angie Bedolla and Adam Matkowsky supported the amendment. The council will have to vote on the resolution a second time at a future meeting. The debate about the vehicle sign code dates back to a public hearing on March 23, when the council first voted on the measure

and passed it with a 5-3 vote. In that public hearing, one resident shared she was worried about the amendment allowing people to display a sign with offensive content and to drive away before someone could stop them. Currently, the city code allows the display of banners on cars advertising for a business, not a political sign for example. The code amendment would change that, although vehicles with political signs would technically need to remain stationary. But residents and some council said at the March 23 meeting that they don’t believe everyone will abide by that. Another section of the city’s sign code allows any “form of speech or expression protected by the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution and/or the Colorado Constitution.” At the March meeting, other council members said that to criticize the code change is to attack free speech. “I don’t want to mess with the

foundation of our country, which is the First Amendment,” Bedolla said. “And I hope that there will not be signs that … are creating an opportunity for more negativity.” Acunto said, “In my mindset if the very first thing that comes to your mind that there are going to be lots of negative messages put on signs, maybe that’s a time for self-evaluation.” When the council passed the amendment in March, it had to vote on the measure again on second reading at an April 13 meeting. That time, the council voted 4-4, thus defeating a motion because of the tie. That time, Bedolla was absent and Councilwoman Sherry Goodman, who opposed the motion, was present. When city staff brought the resolution back to the council on Aug. 10, the process restarted. Then, the council discussed the issue very little compared to previous meetings. Though it had been months since the last time the code amendment came up, both sides of the debate retained their positions. Nizam said, “Everything I do in this council, it’s about we, not me. I think this one has nothing about we, it has everything about me.” Meanwhile, Kulmann said, “I understand there are other political issues that go with this as well, but to me, this is not the priority here.”

Rocky Mountain airport plan scrutiny intensifies Community group calls for noise and pollution studies before business expansion BY LIAM ADAMS LADAMS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A community group and neighboring municipalities asked the Rocky Mountain Metropolitan Airport to pump the brakes after the airport published a draft of a new strategic business plan The airport identified about 200 acres of land where it can develop new facilities to help keep up with future industry demands. For the airport’s many neighbors who regularly complain about noise pollution, among other issues, the prospect of more planes and larger planes are the last things they want to see materialize. The strategic business plan has been controversial for months, but a more concerted outcry followed the airport’s release of a draft plan on Aug. 1. “Despite our best efforts to communicate our concerns to elected officials and others charged with the management of RMMA, public

welfare is being ignored in favor of the business interests that guide the development and expansion of RMMA,” wrote Save Our Skies Alliance, a community group, to the Jefferson County Board of Commissioners in a letter on Aug. 5. The group, which created an online petition that received at least 1,500 signatures, wrote the commissioners in advance of a board meeting on Aug. 10 that featured a discussion on the strategic business plan. Jefferson County owns and operates the airport. In its letter to the commissioners, Save Our Skies Alliance added, “Changed conditions are so exten-

sive that a strategic business plan … a plan that Airport Director Paul Anslow characterizes as a `strategic business plan’ is inadequate.” If the airport moves forward with the strategic business plan, the impact is significant because it would multiply the current level of activity out of the airport, the group said. The airport is the fourth largest in the state. The average number of aircraft to arrive and depart from the airport each day last year was 519, said Ben Miller, senior planner with the airport. The draft of the strategic business plan details the airport’s current operations. It is one of three “reliever” airports in the Denver metro region, meaning it diverts general aviation traffic away from Denver International Airport. The airport accommodates leisure flyers, who use small planes, corporate aviation for private jets, four flight training schools, two “fixed base operators” to provide services to itinerant aircraft, and cargo air travel. Fixed base operator services range from parking, fueling, maintenance, and passenger handling, among others. In the strategic business plan, the airport describes future industry trends, identifies opportunities for

get anyone out of their entrenched positions. It’s frustrating and I don’t know if it’s stewardship,” the mayor added, referring to the three councilors who opposed rate increases. Seitz was joined by Councilors Kathryn Skulley and Jon Voelz in support of raising rates, while Mayor Pro Tem David DeMott and Councilors Lindsey Smith and Rich Seymour were against increases. After voting against rate increases in June, Skulley and Voelz eventually changed their positions. Water rates have long been a point in the division in the community and on the council ever since the Westminster Water Warriors, a community group, launched a recall campaign last fall against Seitz, Skulley, Voelz and former Mayor Herb Atchison over the council members’ position on water rates. Atchison, who had been considered a tie-breaking vote on issues like water, resigned in May. In Atchison’s absence and Seitz’ ascension to the mayor’s chair, the council couldn’t agree on a candidate to appoint to the seventh council seat, leaving the dais vulnerable to additional 3-3 splits. The Water Warriors secured a recall election against Voelz in July, but the councilman retained his seat with 62% of the total votes. Digging in Despite the well-known 3-3 split among the council on water, city staff dug in their heels at Tuesday’s study session, emphasized the need to finance the construction of Water2025, and hoped that DeMott, Smith and Seymour would change their minds. Max Kirschbaum, public works and utilities director, said “It’s

business expansion, and locates parcels where it can place potential new businesses. Potential additions to the airport include a new T-hangar for small leisure aircraft — a T-hangar can hold up to 128 total units — and new tarmac space for corporate aviation, flight training, and a third fixed base operator. The airport is currently unsure if it will need to build new facilities for cargo airlines, according to the plan. In its letter to the Jefferson County commissioners, the Save Our Skies Alliance said it was concerned about the airport pursuing new business opportunities without updating its land use and master plans first. The current land use and master plans were adopted in 2011, and a lot has changed with the airport since then, the group said. Updating those other plans first would enable the airport to further study noise complaints, residential development in the surrounding area, and environmental impacts. In response to the Save Our Skies Alliance letter, Miller said that the airport forecasts an update to its master plan in 2028. “The airport is still programming capital projects SEE AIRPORT, P10

unequivocal. This plant (Water2025) needs to be built, period. Sooner rather than later. In my most professional opinion, there is no way around it.” Quickly responding, without mincing words, DeMott said, “I appreciate your point of view. However, I don’t share it.” DeMott reiterated a point he has previously made about not trusting the city’s plan for utilities capital improvements. Smith echoed the mayor pro tem, saying, “The original problem that I have had with this is that the narrative seems to continue to change.” Seymour centered his explanation on affordability and urged caution about charging residents too much. “They (residents) spoke loud and clear to me and they can’t pay anymore,” he said. Seitz pushed back against the affordability argument and said a failure to raise rates will have the opposite effect. Kirschbaum and City Manager Don Tripp have previously explained that if the city doesn’t generate enough revenue for the construction of Water2025, the project will be delayed and incur inflated costs. That means a steeper price tag for the treatment plant and higher rates down the line. Seitz said, “If you care about costs for residents, it doesn’t go away by deferring this, by delaying it, by putting our head in the sand. You can’t make a problem go away by not addressing it.” Tripp, who has guided most of the council discussions on water rates this year, was noticeably disappointed by the outcome of the study session. He was the last one to speak before the meeting ended, saying, “We’ll come back with zero (percent rate increase). Just to clarify something: we made the recommendation we made because we do feel a responsibility to the community.”

Westminster senior housing subdivision approved BY LIAM ADAMS LADAMS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A senior housing development for 122 single-family attached units in north Westminster received its final approval from the city council at an Aug. 9 meeting. The homes will be paired-patio, single-level units, which members of the council praised for their benefit to mobility-impaired residents. The subdivision, called The Knolls at Big Dry Creek, adds to a list of other senior housing projects in the works that councilors say are desperately needed. “We do need a good mix of hous-

ing in our community, and I think this is an area where we are short,” said Councilor Jon Voelz, before councilors unanimously voted to approve the preliminary and official development plans for the project. Boulder Creek Neighborhoods, the land development company, will construct the neighborhood on 35-acres of land along Huron Street and West 128th Avenue, immediately northwest of Mountain Range High School. It will be just south of the Big Dry Creek Open Space and will have easy connectivity to trails surrounding the neighborhood. Altogether, there will be six different building types that will

range in size from 1,250 square feet to 3,200 square feet, according to Mike Cooper, a representative of Boulder Creek Neighborhoods. All the homes will have gardens and walkout areas, and some will have basements. The average home price will range from $500,000 to $600,000, although some might get up to $700,000, Cooper said. The HOA fees might range from $200 to $250 a month, he added. For the product, Councilor Kathryn Skulley said, “I am very familiar with the market and that is a very reasonable cost for those houses.”

The council’s unanimous approval of The Knolls at Big Dry Creek follows another approval from the council for a preliminary development plan in July for a condo-style senior housing project along 108th Avenue and Wadsworth Parkway, called Applewood Pointe Senior Living at Walnut Grove. Both Applewood Pointe and The Knolls at Big Dry Creek are priced at or above the market rate. The last affordable senior housing project that went before the council, which was proposed for the Harris Park area, failed to move forward after the council voted 3-3 on a key resolution related to the project May 24.

Westminster puts wards, pot sales on ballot BY LIAM ADAMS LADAMS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Westminster city staff will draft official language for ballot measures on establishing city council wards and authorizing marijuana sales to be put before voters in November. The Westminster City Council gave the green light to the staff at a post-meeting briefing on Aug. 9 for seven potential ballot measures. The council will still have to formally vote on the ballot language in upcoming meetings. At the Aug. 9 briefing, City Attorney Dave Frankel explained the wards ballot measure would ask

voters to allow the city council to establish a commission to explore the idea of creating city council wards. Currently, councilors are elected at large, but this ballot measure would initiate the process to create specific geographic areas that the councilors would represent. The wards ballot measure had full support. The potential measure to authorize the purchase and sale of marijuana in Westminster was a little more divided. Mayor Anita Seitz, Mayor Pro Tem David DeMott, and Councilors Kathryn Skulley and Jon Voelz supported the idea, while Councilors Rich Seymour and Lind-

sey Smith opposed it. Smith said at the briefing, “I do think it’s important for our voters to have that decision. But I just think now is not the right time.” Seymour simply said he doesn’t support the ballot measure. Frankel explained the question is “largely advisory. So, we’re testing the electorate in getting feedback. That’s the feedback for the council to consider amending the code.” If voters were to pass the measure, the council would then have to approve a charter amendment and any resolutions related to regulating marijuana sales in town. DeMott said, “I have been a propo-

nent of this going to the voters and I have heard a lot on both sides. I just think it’s time for the city to decide whether or not.” As part of the potential marijuana ballot measure, the voters would also be asked about authorizing a marijuana sales tax. There are three other potential ballot issues to change language in the city charter, including replacing exclusively masculine pronouns with gender-neutral ones. Another measure would increase the city’s public safety sales and use tax and a third would extend the sales and use tax increase for parks and open space debt.

Plans for spaceport area up for future discussions BY BELEN WARD BWARD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Adams County commissioners signed off on the bulk of the plan for a sub-district around the Colorado Air and Spaceport but said they need more time to consider its plans. The reason is the planned Aerotropolis project was not part of the analysis. Adams County Community Economic Development Department case manager Nick Eagleson presented the plans for Colorado Air and Spaceport to the Adams County Commissioners for approval in a public hearing Aug. 3. “I did not see a mention of the CDOT reference or study of the Aerotropolis area,” said Commissioner Steve O’Dorisio. The planning processes Eagleson team posted a proposal and selected a consultant, Steven Chester, with Kimley-Horn in the spring of 2020. They also put together an advisory group, steering committee and stakeholder groups. “I want to mention running concurrently is the Colorado Air Spaceport Master Plan, and Dave Ruppel, the director of CASP, is heading and focusing on expanding aerospace and spaceport capabilities while the subarea plan looks at the overall area outside of the spaceport,” Eagleson said. Background The intended vision is for the land

use that surrounds CASP is development of infrastructure, roadways and public utilities. The sub-district plans are a guide for short- and long-term goals along with policies, standard and market potential, including jobs. “We incorporated different plans and studies with multiple jurisdictions in the subarea, including the town of Bennett and the city of Aurora. We looked at the Aurora and Bennett’s comprehensive plans, including the Aurora transportation study and Adams County comprehensive plan as well,” said Eagleson. Future planning process Eagleson’s team developed focus group meetings to directly meet with residents, business owners and landowners. “We also designated a website that was super handy and helpful to conduct online workshops and multiple surveys engaging with them to get public input,” he noted. In feedback, the team developed six land use designations: industry hub, aerospace and innovation, light industrial, mixed-use industrial, green energy and sustainable agriculture, community hubs and neighborhood residential. The team also received concerns from the public comments. The residents were worried about the future land use’s impact on property values and how would it impact business operations. Another question was if there would be added flexibility for residential develop-

ment in the town of Bennett. The county’s comments revolved around using the sub-district plan in the transportation master plans and working on updating the comprehensive plan with “Advancing Adams.” Another area of interest was the potential of new parks, open spaces and trails within the subdistrict. “As far as outreach, we worked with the steering committee throughout the entire process, we saw what challenges and opportunities would be within the subarea,” Eagleson said. “We are also in collaboration between multiple jurisdictions such as the city of Aurora water and planning staff and Aurora Economic Development, Adams County and Metro Economic Development.” Other agencies involved are the city of Denver, Arapahoe County and representatives from the spaceport. “When you brought forward plans to the board of county commissioners before, you laid out some options, do you remember what those were, can you walk through what are the final outcomes?” asked O’Dorisio “ Those options were not of future land use but the current zoning within the subarea. We put out preferred alternatives and also a hybrid alternative of future land use recommendations on what it would look like, “ said Eagleson. “We asked for your feedback on what made the most sense. such as do we need a little bit more sustainable agriculture and green energy type of land uses? Or would you like to see those community hubs along certain corridors?” “Of the three options, which was the most likely final option,” O’Dorisio asked. “The preferred alternative,” Eagleson said. Commissioner Eva Henry also asked Chester with Kimley-Horn why wasn’t Areotropolis considered inside of the plan. “I’m shocked you don’t know the plan he tells Chester especially when you are developing this in the area of the aerotropolis,” said Commissioner Chaz Tedesco. “I’m concerned that we are going by

Denver’s vision of an aerotropolis, because we did have some conflict about their vision as an aerotropolis and what our vision is as an aerotropolis.” Tedesco recommended the team go back through the proposal and history. “With a lot of the development that we are approving in that area, especially E-470, I’m a little shocked you didn’t incorporate Aerotropolis and yet Denver is putting its input when you are making those decisions and analysis,” said Tedesco. “To clarify we did incorporate the Denver aerotropolis planning effort and some of the future visions in terms of land use and transportation into this plan.” Chester said. “I was just referencing the specific CDOT plan the commissioner brought up. I was familiar with that exact plan and the overall vision of aerotropolis planning with the city and the airport. It was incorporated and referenced during this planning effort.” Raymond Gonzales, Adams County manager, injected and made a clarification, “I think that they are asking for is all the plans surrounding the CASP and just a list of them. I do know the CDOT aerotropolis plan was developed several years ago Commissioner O’Dorisio is referring to,” said Gonzales. “It might be the same thing you are referencing you just don’t know the exact titles. We just need to provide a list of those subarea plans that you used to help guide when you establish the subarea plan.” “We will provide a more detailed list,” Chester said Commissioner Lynn Baca said, “I think the 1-70 Regional Economic Advancement Partnership (REAP) would appreciate being involved in this. I-70 REAP is a regional local economic partnership which includes the town of Bennett and some other businesses and I would like to include special districts, like ARTA Aerotropolis Regional Transportation Authority.” Gonzales recommended a continuance to a future study session -- the commissioners agreed -- and schedule a future date for adoption.

Tri-County Health to let COVID dial order expire; Jeffco extends BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The local health agency serving Adams and Arapahoe counties announced it would let the local COVID-19 “dial” system expire in mid-August, signaling that the last set of broad — but dormant — coronavirus requirements in a large part of the Denver metro area would soon end. The change comes as the new school year unfolds, presenting a new test for the coronavirus pandemic in Colorado: Can much of the metro area tamp down hospitalizations and deaths with no broad state mask mandate, no business restrictions, no state-imposed school COVID-19 restrictions and students back in school full-time this fall? Statewide, hospitalizations have spiked in the last few weeks, jumping from 266 confirmed COVID-19 patients on July 22 to 501 on Aug. 11. Daily deaths among those with COVID-19 in the past several weeks continued to outpace the recent lows seen in March, at times breaking into double digits. “We do not intend to extend the dial order,” said a statement from Becky O’Guin, a spokesperson for Tri-County Health Department, the local health agency for Adams and Arapahoe. “We continue to factor incidence (new-case) rate, hospitalizations and deaths in all our decision-making,” O’Guin’s Aug. 11 statement added. Many Coloradans likely didn’t know the dial system was still in effect: Because the metro area had been operating in “level clear,” restrictions on businesses had been lifted and wouldn’t have returned unless coronavirus trends had hit a certain boiling point. Originally implemented last Sept. 15, Colorado’s color-coded COVID-19 dial was the set of restrictions counties had to follow based on the local spread of the virus. The system affected capacity at restaurants, other businesses, indoor and outdoor events, and other settings. Although the state’s dial system expired in mid-April, local health agencies in the Denver metro area extended the dial system locally as

a rise in virus cases and the continued spread of COVID-19 variants kept health officials worried. Then, as of May 16, several metro counties were operating in what they call “level clear,” generally with no local restrictions. In Adams, Arapahoe and Jefferson counties, for example, level clear was to continue in the past few months unless hospitalizations triggered a “snapback provision,” where restrictions would return if a county exceeded 2 hospital admissions per 100,000 residents, measured a certain way over a 14-day period. But hospitalizations, at least in Adams and Arapahoe, never reached high enough to bring restrictions back. Tri-County Health announced it would let the local dial system expire in Adams and Arapahoe in midAugust, signaling that at least some other Denver-area counties could drop the dial as well. Boulder and Broomfield counties also entered level clear in May. Along with Jefferson, the counties are all members in the Metro Denver Partnership for Health. That includes Douglas County by way of Tri-County Health’s membership, although Douglas had opted out of the local dial system. Jefferson County Public Health announced plans to extend its dial order for one month, spokesperson Ashley Sever said on Aug. 13. “The county will remain in the observation period for a bit longer,” Sever said, referring to level clear. Jefferson County Public Health was “closely watching the rapid increase in 14-day hospitalization rate in Jeffco” as the agency considered an extension, Sever said. Denver said in mid-May through a spokesperson that it was “planning to meet level clear standards,” and the city issued a public health order that took effect May 16. “Denver is lifting capacity limits and distancing requirements in nearly all settings,” the city said in a May 14 news release. Denver did use the “level clear” tag at one point, but it later stopped using the dial terminology. The city’s latest public health order,

dated Aug. 2, doesn’t mention capacity restrictions. The Boulder and Broomfield public health departments hadn’t yet responded for comment as of Aug. 12 about whether they plan to let the dial expire in their counties. Schools and virus spread In late July, the Colorado publichealth department released new K-12 school guidelines that left the choice of whether to require masks up to school districts — and across the metro area, school mask rules now vary widely. Some districts didn’t mandate masks, and others are requiring them for vaccinated and unvaccinated people alike. Asked whether a lack of masks in full-time in-person classes would lead to greater coronavirus spread in the broader community, TriCounty responded: “In an environment where people (and) students are unvaccinated, COVID-19 will spread. That is the nature of this virus, and the delta (variant) makes that even more concerning. We continue to work with our school districts in Adams, Arapahoe and Douglas counties to prioritize in-person learning and institute prevention strategies to mitigate the spread of COVID-19.” In March, John Douglas, head of Tri-County Health, said he thinks it’s unlikely that a return to fulltime in-person schooling would affect virus spread in the surrounding communities, especially because many teachers had been vaccinated.

“There haven’t been too many reports where schools drive community transmission — it seems to be virtually the opposite,” Douglas said at the time. Douglas pointed to a then-recent report by the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention that reiterated that schools have low rates of COVID-19 transmission. The information “has continued to reinforce that notion” that schools are safe, under the circumstances, if they adhere to safety precautions, Douglas had said. Among some other steps for limiting COVID-19 spread, the CDC says schools should implement the following strategies: • Promoting COVID-19 vaccination. • “Consistent and correct” use of masks. • Physical distancing among people who are not fully vaccinated. • Improving ventilation. But now, many schools across the metro area will see students return with no requirements for masks in school buildings, and it’s unclear how much physical distancing will take place with students able to attend class full-time. Asked whether Tri-County Health is confident that schools have optimal ventilation systems to mitigate COVID spread, the health agency said in its statement: “This is not something we have evaluated with each school or school district and SEE TRI-COUNTY, P16

Families being priced out of local housing market ‘California problem’ is impacting inventory and prices BY THELMA GRIMES TGRIMES@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

It is no surprise that local families are feeling frustrated and burned out in the current housing market, as national economist Elliot Eisenberg says Colorado is going through a “California problem.” In January, Eisenberg, of econ70. com, compared the Colorado housing market to a car cruising down the interstate. Before the pandemic in 2019, all signs were stable and cruise control was set at 65 mph. In 2020, it slowed down to about 25 mph. In 2021, the market spun out of control, hitting 95 mph. There are several factors contributing to the current market conditions, but mostly, it is the “California problem,” Eisenberg said. “For a long time, the California problem stayed in California,” Eisenberg said. “But now it is coming to Colorado as people in California are saying ‘hell with it.’ The housing prices are too high, taxes are too high, the cost of living is ridiculous. They are jumping ship and heading to Denver.” The problem, Eisenberg said, is that Colorado was already falling behind in building enough homes. Add in a continually growing population

and the market becomes a problem, he said. According to the Denver Metro Real Estate Market Trends Report for July, Colorado’s population increased by about 50,000 people between July 2019 and July 2020. From 2010 to 2020, the state grew by about

760,000 people, the eighth-highest growth rate in the U.S. Jill Schafer, a member of the Denver Metro Association of Realtors (DMAR) and agent for Kentwood Real Estate, said there is an incredible lack of inventory across the Denver metro area’s 11-county market, which includes Adams, Arapahoe, Boulder, Broomfield, Clear Creek, Denver, Douglas, Elbert, Gilpin, Jefferson, and Park counties. Schafer said with population increases, local families are being forced to “drive until they find something they can afford.” Schafer explained a ripple effect, using her son as an example. He and his family could no longer afford the increased cost of homes in Denver, which meant driving south. He was lucky to land in Castle Rock, Schafer said, but by the time he moved in, his home value had already increased by tens of thousands of dollars. Shawn D., who requested that his last name not be used for work-related reasons, said his family of five are currently living in a rental home in Highlands Ranch. Shawn said the “insane” housing market along the Front Range has him and his wife questioning their move to Colorado from Florida two years ago. Shawn said they sold their Florida home for $280,000, making him feel like they had a good down payment and would be fine in moving to Colorado. Instead, they have been met with one letdown after another. Shawn described a market where they get on waiting lists for new housing developments that only become a lost cause. Shawn, who works in downtown Denver when he is not working remotely, wanted to buy in Highlands Ranch. When that became too difficult, they started driving all over. Shawn said they have put offers on homes in Castle Rock, Evergreen, and anywhere else they could in the Denver metro area. They even considered homes in Bailey, which were also overpriced, he said.

Adrian Espinoza, a Coldwell Banker real estate agent in Lakewood, said inventory is the biggest issue for clients looking for a first home, or families and couples looking to upgrade. Espinoza said on any given day across Front Range, there are 5,000 homes up for sale. In a normal market, he said there should be between 20,000 and 30,000 listings. The lack of inventory cuts options for clients and drives prices higher. In January, DMAR estimated there were more than 24,000 active listings along the Front Range. In July, there were just over 3,000 homes up for sale. A Zillow report estimates home values along the Front Range have increased by an average of 20% from the same time last year. In Douglas County, the median home price is $656,281, a 20.1% increase from 2020. In Jefferson County, the median home price is $584,544, a 21.8% increase. Arapahoe County has the lowest increase, with the median home price of $490,501, a 16.3% increase. Espinoza said the problem with the reports listing median home prices that seem reasonable is that there is not enough inventory to sustain those numbers. Espinoza said in Castle Rock alone, homes are being scooped up so quickly and above asking, that there are few choices in the $600,000 range. Espinoza represents Courtnee Lamb in Castle Rock. Trying to sell her current family home to move into a bigger home with extra property has been a nightmare, Lamb said. “We put our home up for sale and it is at two weeks on the market,” she said. “No one expected that, which means when we are putting contingency offers for homes we want to buy. Sellers do not want to because a bigger cash offer will likely come later.” SEE HOUSING, P10

More Colorado health leaders urge mask, vaccine rules Children’s, SCL the latest Colo. hospital groups to require shots for their workers BY JOHN INGOLD THE COLORADO SUN

Some of the state’s largest and most influential health care organizations have issued a joint statement supporting mandates for health care workers to be vaccinated against the coronavirus. The Colorado Hospital Association, the Colorado Nurses Association and the Colorado Medical Society, which represents doctors, signed onto the statement, along with 16 other organizations. The Aug. 12 statement says all health care workers should be vaccinated; expresses support for organizations that have imposed vaccination mandates; and urges everyone age 2 and older to wear masks indoors in public places, including schools. “Colorado’s health care workers have heroically cared for their communities throughout the pandemic,” the statement says, “but we must all come together to protect the most vulnerable among us.” The statement comes as pressure mounts on state and local governments to do more to quell the new surge in cases caused by the highly infectious delta variant of the virus and to get more people vaccinated faster. Also on Aug. 12, Children’s Hospital Colorado and SCL Health became the latest health systems in the state to require employees to be vaccinated. Children’s, whose main hospital is in Aurora and with smaller facilities across the metro area, said workers must be fully vaccinated by Oct. 1 as a condition of employment, meaning people could be fired if they don’t comply. SCL Health -- parent of Saint Joseph Hospital in Denver, Lutheran Medical Center in Wheat Ridge

and Platte Valley Medical Center in Brighton -- is giving workers until Nov. 1 and won’t allow them to return to work if they remain unvaccinated beyond then. UCHealth, Denver Health and Banner Health, as well as Kaiser Permanente, have previously announced vaccine mandates for employees. The city of Denver has mandated that all health care workers at facilities in the city, including nursing homes, be vaccinated. “Vaccines are essential in the fight against COVID-19,” Jena Hausmann, Children’s Hospital Colorado’s president and CEO, said in a statement. “With safe and effective vaccines widely available, this decision affirms our commitment to the safety and care for our team members and for those we serve.” On Aug. 10, the Colorado chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics sent a letter to Gov. Jared Polis and state and local health officials urging orders requiring universal mask wearing in Colorado schools and child care centers, regardless of a person’s vaccination status. The Colorado Vaccine Equity Taskforce, a group of political and health leaders at dozens of organizations across the state, urged the same. “Colorado students need access to safe, uninterrupted learning this school year,” Dr. Edward Maynard, the AAP Colorado chapter president, said in a statement. “The current patchwork of school policies across the state will result in more COVID-19 cases, more transmission of the virus, more quarantines and repeated school closures.” But at a news conference on Aug. 12, Polis showed no inclination to issue new mask orders or vaccination requirements for health care workers. Polis noted that, while more than 500 people are currently hospitalized in Colorado with COVID-19, including 17 children, the state is nowhere close to exceeding hospital capacity. Polis has said many times that ensuring the state stays within its hospital capacity is his “North Star” in making decisions about statewide protective measures. The state has issued guidance to

school districts urging mask usage, in keeping with recommendations from the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. But Polis has left it up to school districts to determine whether to mandate maskwearing — something that has led to a patchwork of rules across Colorado as kids return to classrooms. On Au. 12, Polis reiterated the benefits of mask-wearing, while also downplaying the lack of a mandate. “There is no silver bullet,” he said.

noise roundtable meeting. The roundtable — a group of elected officials from municipalities surrounding the airport — met the day before the county commissioners were scheduled to meet to discuss the plan. Mark Lacis, mayor pro tem of Superior and a roundtable member, proposed a resolution for the roundtable’s endorsement to slow down the strategic business plan process. The city of Louisville and Boulder County also supported the resolu-

tion, said Jefferson County Commissioner Tracy Kraft-Tharp, a roundtable member. Ultimately, the whole roundtable did not endorse Lacis’ resolution, nor did it endorse another resolution proposed by the town of Superior and city of Louisville about airport noise mitigation strategies. Yet, when the commissioners met Aug. 10 to discuss the strategic business plan, there were enough lingering questions and concerns among the commissioners that they did not

give the go ahead for the strategic business plan, said Jefferson County spokeswoman Julie Story. Technically, county staff does not need formal approval from the commissioners to move forward with the plan, but the staff agreed to track down answers to commissioners’ questions before moving forward with the plan. The commissioners also wanted to wait to receive additional input from the community noise roundtable, which is scheduled to meet again on Sept. 13.

Colorado Springs. Espinoza said he advises his clients to wait if they can, hoping something will become available in the area where families want to live. But he admitted the current market is creating a lot of stress and frustration. Shawn said one of the most frustrating parts of trying to find a home is that it feels like families like his are no longer welcome in the Denver metro area. Eisenberg said Shawn is not wrong. As Californians make a lot of money selling their homes and move to Colorado, they have the funds to

spend. “You have really rich people coming to a market where prices are great and spending an extra $80,000 above asking price is no big deal. It means nothing to them,” he said. As Californians keep moving to Colorado and other states, the housing market is changing, Eisenberg said. That means the drive to affordability for current families means shifting to housing searches farther south in Pueblo or heading out of state to Kansas or Idaho, he said. Shawn said he signed another oneyear lease on his rental home, noting that it came with a 3% increase. In the next year, Shawn said if his family cannot find a suitable home along the Front Range, they will leave the state. “I definitely feel like I have been priced out of my ability to grow and make this a longtime home,” he said. “If this market stays this way, people are going to leave. It is unhealthy, unstable growth.” Eisenberg said there are other factors driving prices and inventory. Eisenberg said citizens fight

growth. They want to preserve open space and push for less housing developments. However, that means not enough homes are going up to stabilize the market, he said. “The Denver housing market has become one of the most expensive markets in the country,” Eisenberg said. “Politicians want to keep their jobs, so they don’t push for more housing. But the only solution is to build more homes.” Schafer said another factor is people are staying in the homes they have. Families see the market and decide to stay put. Older couples who would normally downsize are staying put because they cannot afford the rising cost of a townhome or condo. Eisenberg said when the average cost of a townhome or condo goes above $350,000 older couples cannot scale down and single young professionals and couples cannot move into the buyer’s market. In the end, Eisenberg said the reality is current Coloradans will start relocating to places like Boise because it is considered the new Denver.

Could the recall have been avoided? Candidates respond

estminster citizens, council members and the city government just experienced its first and only divisive recall election of a council member in its 63 years as a home rule city. In part, this shows how important this was to a crosssection of citizens. I have pondered the above question even before the election. I even wrote a column about it. Now, the candidates were asked to provide their insight. Here’s the question: In looking back over the events, decisions, maneuvers, statements, etc. leading up to the July 20 election, in your opinion, how could the recall of the mayor and three council members have been avoided? Closed ears or controversy Nancy McNally “Water can’t be used like a hostage situation. Water must be affordable

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Signs of the times It grieves me that there may never be a meeting of minds, or at least thoughtful consideration of cultural and political views dissimilar to one’s own in this land. For nearly a year I have displayed a `Black lives matter’ sign outside my house in the Cotton Creek area. This morning, upon returning from an errand, I discovered it was missing. Not blown away by the wind nor eroded by the prevalent smoke in our air, but torn from its supports and stolen. More and more we see that this is what passes for political discourse in our nation — an inability to address a contentious issue in real and productive terms (not that the value of the lives of many of our citizens should ever be contentious) but to employ the basest imaginable action to express an ingrained sense of inhuman prejudice. Our founding fathers, trying to create a nation built on reason and compromise, hoped for more. They would be disappointed in what we now are. I can replace the stolen sign for a few dollars and continue with my life and my beliefs. Whoever you are, who committed vandalism and theft to express your discriminatory views, you will never be free of the dishonor that is a determining part of you. Chris Stimpson, Westminster

A recall can be attempted simply because a party doesn’t like the way an official has voted, a lower standard than most states.

There are always other paths to success our utility is no different. Safe drinking water is always a priority. Affordability needs to be as well!” Kathleen Dorado “The recall efforts were started because a group of very dedicated and non-partisan residents believed it was imperative to expose what was happening in Westminster regarding the outrageous increase in water rates.

Our brand is more than just the logo on our shirt

he other day a teenager was approaching me wearing a black concert T-shirt with an image of Led Zeppelin on the front, and the year WINNING 1977. He happened WORDS to stop right in front of me to wait for traffic to stop so he could cross the street. So, I made a comment letting him know I liked the T-shirt and shared that I had seen Led Zeppelin Michael Norton perform in 1977 at Madison Square Garden in New York City. The young man’s face lit up as he told me that it was his dad’s favorite band and how his dad had seen the concert in New York City as well. He also shared that he and his dad bonded over music and how much appreciation he had for classic rock. Suddenly, I was noticing the words, logos and images on the people I saw walking through the streets, airports and shops. As I was waiting to pay for a parking space, the woman in front of me turned around and she had the word “Empowered” on her shirt. I took the leap and asked her what the shirt was about. She shared that she was at a conference recently for her company and that the word “Empowered” was the theme

for their event. And that it was one of her very favorite words. It’s one of mine too. Many years ago, I happened to be traveling back from an event in Las Vegas. I was representing Zig Ziglar at that conference and I was wearing the Ziglar logo on my dress shirt. There was a glitch somewhere in the system that created a problem for many travelers, me included. The line began to get agitated, and frustration boiled over. At this point in my career, I had traveled more than a million miles. And I just occupied my time reading and checking my phone knowing that there was nothing I could do other than patiently wait it out. A few groups around me were fanning the flames of frustration and looking for sympathizers for the misery loves company club. One woman looked at me and said something about how awful the situation was and wondered why I wasn’t upset. Then she looked at the Zig Ziglar logo on my shirt. Then in a slightly condescending tone said, “Well you have to act calm and be positive, it’s what your company is all about.” My reply was straightforward and sincere as I shared with her that it was not just about the logo, it was about the message behind the logo. I also shared that I was frustrated too, but at that point all I could do was decide how I wanted to respond and how I could best use my time.

Complaining was simply counterproductive. Although she somewhat dismissed my reply, I noticed others around us begin to pick up their book, open their laptop, or take out a magazine to occupy their time. One gentleman walked up to me and said something that was so meaningful to me. He told me that Mr. Ziglar would be proud that I represented his brand so well. Honestly, I had not thought about it that way when I made my comments. Until the woman called the logo into question, I had forgotten I was even wearing it. Whether we are wearing any type of clothing with a message or logo on it or not, our actions and words speak volumes about who we are and what our brand is as a person. Our actions and words could also very easily characterize the type of company we work for and the corporate culture we represent. What do people see when they see you? How do you handle yourself when challenges arise? I would love to hear your story at mnorton@ tramazing.com, and when we can remember that our brand is more than just the message or logo on our clothing, it really will be a better than good week. Michael Norton is the grateful CEO of Tramazing.com, a personal and professional coach, and a consultant, trainer, encourager and motivator to businesses of all sizes.

were upset about. Such as the lack of transparency with the council members there were trying to recall and the threat of losing the suburban lifestyle that the residents enjoyed and treasured. The way this recall could have been avoided is if the council members being recalled would have listened to the residents, avoided catering to developers and cared enough about the City of Westminster to preserve our suburban lifestyle.” Rebuilding trust Obi Ezeadi “If elected, I will work with the council to rebuild the trust between residents and city council from the bottom up and middle out.

erly discharging their responsibilities. However, we should raise the required threshold for recalls to ensure that they are only reserved for forcing out officials accused of misconduct, crime or ethics violations—-to align the purpose of a recall with its desired effect.” Sarah Nurmela “We live in a time of heightened expectations for public transparency, information and communication. When major decisions and changes occur, residents feel left in the dark about the “why” behind a decision. Perhaps, greater transparency and more extensive outreach and communication with the community could have led to a different result than a recall. Regardless, moving forward, the City should continue to improve its communication efforts and transparency in decision-making, and incorporate additional time into the planning or decision-making process in order to do so.” Kathryn Skulley “It is most important the resi-

dents were able to make their voices heard. The July 20 Recall Election was for the residents to determine if city councilor should be recalled from city council. The residents voted two-to-one against the recall. It was a costly process and untimely considering the November election. The issues of the city need to remain non-partisan and free of outside influences. This city belongs to the residents who live here. It is the responsibility of all residents to strive to build an affordable and sustainable community. This is accomplished through working together, building trust, and open communication.” Conservation scam Bruce Baker “The only way the recall could have been avoided is if Atchison, Seitz, Skulley or Voelz - just one of them - had joined to lower water rates and restore green landscapes to all Westminster’s neighborhoods. But their plans leave little room for individual, green landscapes. Their agenda is to crowd 38,000 more people into Westminster. There are huge profits in building rental apartments and selling them to investors. Westminster does not own enough water to serve 38,000 more people. By having outrageous, block-tier water rates, current customers will

“voluntarily” use less water. This frees up water for new apartments. The scam of infrastructure needs and conservation has fooled many.” Candidate Jon Voelz did not submit a response. New candidate Kristine Ireland Ireland recently declared her candidacy for City Council. “The recall absolutely could have been avoided. It wouldn’t have happened had City Council listened to resident’s objections in 2018 prior to voting for a massive 2-step water rate increase that makes summer water bills look like car or mortgage payments. The recall could have been avoided had Seitz, Skulley, Voelz and Atchison listened to the pleas of hurting homeowners and others on Council last summer to roll back rates or to return to residents the City’s huge surplus in profit from last year’s water sales. Finally, had City leadership better managed new growth, they would not have felt the need to excessively raise water rates in the first place.”

hile the Denver metro area is dotted with well-known aging ranches and charming historical homesteads, some history lovers of the area may be in search of a different kind of site — one they either haven’t heard of before or that they must romp through the woods to access. In search of these types of unusual history sites, one place to look is the National Register of Historic Places. For each of the counties that surround Denver — not to mention all the counties in the United States — this register provides a list of historically significant sites, some of which are unique or little-known sites. Some of these sites, like an abandoned, rattlesnakeridden military amphitheater in Golden, aren’t available for public access. Others, like Native American shelters in Douglas County, have a restricted location to protect them from being disturbed. But some on the list are simply often-overlooked historical sites in the area. The list includes bridges, farms, schools, archaeological sites and more and offers new discoveries for residents curious about all the nooks and crannies of their community’s history. Here are a few of the Denver area’s hidden history gems from the National Register of Historic Places and beyond.

Immerse yourself in Lumonics’ lights and sounds COMING ATTRACTIONS

reat artists aren’t exactly well known for staying in the same place for long. That certainly was the case for Dorothy and Mel Tanner, the former of whom had a background in sculpture and the latter was an abstract painter. But they were introduced to acrylic glass (Plexiglas) and began building geometric shapes, which lead to creating lighted water fountains and more elaborate abstract sculptures in 1966. And so Lumonics, one of the longestrunning light art projects in the county, was born. Since their first light and sound experience in Miami in 1969 combined light sculptures, lasers, special effects and original music and video elements, the Tanners and their gallery have continued to experiment and grow. “Mel had a mystical experience in the summer of 1969, right around the first landing on the moon, and he wanted the artwork to be more experiential,” said Barry Raphael, Lumonics co-archivist and team member. “The Tanners con-

verted their warehouse art studio into a light and sound theater and created sitespecific art for it.” Raphael explained that the mezzanine became a projection booth where the Tanners created hundreds of hand-painted slides that were projected on a large wall in addition to live painting and overhead projectors. They connected all the artworks to a color organ so that they could control the light sculptures to music during the performances, he said. Mel died in 1993 and Dorothy in 2020, but the intention of remaining members Marc Billard, Barbara Billard and Raphael is to honor their legacy. Something they’ll be doing with their new multi-sensory experience, Lumonics Immersed. A show designed to “refresh your body, mind and spirit,” as well as tribute to the Tanners, premieres from 8 to 10 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 21, at the Lumonics Light and Sound Gallery, 800 E. 73rd Ave., No. 11, in Denver. The aim is to do something similar monthly, but each experience will be a unique one.

“Marc worked very closely with each of the Tanners in assembling the light sculptures, and also helped with the technical aspects of the light and sound performances,” Raphael said. “We can’t duplicate the original live performances because of space limitations and the Tanners are no longer here, but we do create the vibe and the spirit, more than 50 years on.” The Tanners and Lumonics came to the metro area in 2008 and have done a range of exhibits. They’ll even be a part of Meow Wolf when it opens in September. And even though the Tanners are gone, the gallery remains a vibrant and creative place, Raphael said. “It has a magical quality. It is filled with the Tanners’ light sculptures, each one unique, yet they work together so harmoniously,” he said. “People can also explore the studio where the artwork is made and visit the Lumonics School of Light Art. We teach students how to build and ‘arSEE READER, P15

then assassinated in the streets of Denver. Throughout the cemetery there are dozens of unique headstones, including a log cabin replica, a giant horse sculpture, several large angel figures and a statue of a man buried there. An online tour brochure of the cemetery guides drivers and walkers through the historic site, which is still open for new burials. The brochure tells the stories of several of the people buried there and provides general information about the cemetery. The informational pamphlet is available at www. FriendsofRiversideCemetery.org/ visit-riverside. A nonprofit that helps preserve the cemetery, Friends of Historic Riverside Cemetery, accepts donations to help maintain the property, which they say is “in a state of rapid decline.” Some may notice that many of the trees on the property have died and the ground cover is mostly weeds and native grass. “Over the fall and winter of 20082009, several dead trees fell and damaged nearby monuments and a historic private mausoleum,” according to the nonprofit’s website. “Many more were taken down to manage this risk, but additional -trees are in danger of falling during future storms or periods of strong winds.” The driveable and walkable cemetery is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily.

This show will undoubtedly be a blast, so get your tickets at arvadacenter.org/events/colorado-jazzrepertory-orchestra-horn-bands-ofthe-60s-70s.

Preserve in Douglas County is a less well-known site but it has the highest concentration of mammoth remains in the state. It also offers free tours. “You can go on the site and see where they were,” said Cameron Randolph, vice chair of the preserve’s board of directors. In 1960, Charles Lamb was expanding a pond fed by a natural spring on his property when he came upon several large bones that were later identified as Columbian Mammoth remains. After several excavations of the site, archaeologists found the remains of at least five mammoths but there could be up to 30 mammoths that died at the site. During its life, an adult male Columbian Mammoth could grow up to 14 feet high at its shoulder. Other remains found on the site include Ice Age horses, camels, sloths and bison. There’s also evidence that the site was used by prehistoric people in the area as a hunting site. If confirmed with more research, that would put humans in that area 2,000 years earlier than previously thought, Rudolph said. Today, the site is 35 acres of protected land between Roxborough Park and Sterling Ranch. It was added to the national register in 1997. Free tours of the site are available on the first Saturday of each month during much of spring, summer and fall. Visitors can see where the remains were discovered, see a cast of one of the mammoth skulls found there and learn more about the region from the preserve’s docents. This year, the last organized tour will be Oct. 2. The site also offers private tours. Eventually, the organization hopes to have a museum on the site of the excavation, Rudolph said. The preserve will also host tours and demonstrations as part of International Archaeological Day on Oct. 16 in coordination with Roxborough ASLD brings back Summer Art Market The Art Students League of Denver (ASLD) is returning with its 28th Summer Art Market, which was canceled last year due to the pandemic.

Held on Saturday, Aug. 28 and Sunday, Aug. 29, in the Washington Park neighborhood, between East 1st Avenue and East 4th Avenue and between Logan Street and Sherman Street, artists will be selling a range of works, including ceramics, fiber arts, mixed media, painting, drawing, sculpture and more.

Visit a castle near Morrison For those history lovers who yearn for a workout before their history lesson, there’s Castle Trail in Morrison’s Mount Falcon Park. The 6.7-mile, nearly 2,000-foot elevation gain loop trail leads hikers to the castle ruins of one of Denver’s early settlers and one of the area’s interesting historical characters: John Brisben Walker. In the park are both Walker’s stone mansion, destroyed by a fire, and the cornerstone of a nevercompleted home that Walker hoped would be a summer White House for the U.S. presidents. Born in 1847, Walker ended up in Denver 32 years later after having served as a general in the Chinese army, running for Congress, winning and losing a fortune and managing two newspapers, according to Morrison Historical Society. Once in Denver, he dabbled in agriculture and made himself a new fortune before going on to develop River Front Park, an amusement park that also held Denver’s first rodeo. He made a series of other pur-

chases including Governor Evans’ “Swiss Cottage” in Morrison and all of what is now Red Rocks Park and Mount Falcon. After a few years away from Colorado — during which time he bought the then-failing Cosmopolitan magazine, later sold it to William Randolph Hearst and also sponsored the first automobile race in the United States — Walker returned to Morrison in the early 20th century. From there, Walker began working on developing the area, building a road into town, adding a tea house and constructing hiking trails. He also built a railway to the top of Mount Morrison, making it the longest cog railway in the world at the time. During this “period of enthusiasm” Walker also dreamed up the idea of a permanent summer home for U.S. presidents, according to the historical society. Construction began on top of Mount Falcon and the cornerstone was laid, but before it could be completed, the finances dried up and the project fizzled. Nearby, Walker built his home, a stone mansion that was destroyed by fire in 1918. Walker, by then a widower with a son, moved to Brooklyn and then died in 1931. Today, the remains of his home and his dream of a summer White House remain for visitors to see in Mount Falcon Park.

The show is outdoors, so attendees are encouraged to bring their lawn chair or a blanket for seating. People can also bring picnics or try the onsite food truck, Capitol City Wraps. The repertoire for this concert includes music from classics like

“Titanic,” “The Lord of the Rings” and Star Wars. For tickets and information, visit www.lakewoodsymphony.org. Clarke Reader’s column on culture appears on a weekly basis. He can be reached at Clarke.Reader@ hotmail.com.

Underground Music Showcase is live again Annual three-day festival will feature performances by more than 100 live bands BY RYAN DUNN AND CHRISTY STEADMAN CSTEADMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Claire Heywood expects she will be singing her heart out at this year’s Underground Music Showcase. “Speaking for myself, playing a festival represents a needed chance to release some pent-up energy from 2020,” Heywood said. “After so long without a space to play, I hope to sing my heart out and get a few things off my chest.” Heywood, a singer/songwriter of Denver, will be performing at UMS this year with a full backing band

comprised of other local musicians. UMS will be their first fullband show since March 2020, and UMS-goers can anticipate hearing new material, including the song “Crushed Lemons,” which won’t be released until Aug. 27. The 2021 UMS will consist of more than 100 live musical acts performing during the three-day music festival, which takes place Aug. 27-29 across more than 12 indoorand-outdoor venues in the stretch of Broadway between Alameda and Sixth avenues. “I’m excited to see people who were distant or tangential friendly faces before the pandemic,” Heywood said, and “maybe people who I didn’t ever meet, but enjoyed seeing around locally at shows knowing they were supporting live music in Denver.” This year’s UMS will be the second time for The Barlow, a Colorado country band from Arvada, to play

the music festival. “We’re excited to put on the best show we can,” said Shea Boynton, a singer and guitarist with The Barlow. “We’re bringing the twang and a bunch of new songs off our latest album, ‘Horseshoe Lounge.’” The Barlow has been out performing live recently, but the band is particularly looking forward to UMS because “there’s always an unknown factor to festivals that make them exciting,” Boynton said. Tyler Imbrogno, a vocalist who also plays keyboards and guitar in Englewood’s Eldren — a psych-pop/ alternative band that formed in 2011 — is looking forward to reconnecting with old friends, meeting new fans and discovering new artists at this year’s UMS. “It means a lot to us to be back,” Imbrogno said, “because playing UMS has served as an introduction to tons of friends, artists and venues through the years.”

He added that this year will be the fourth or fifth UMS that Eldren has played. Eldren recently released an album of cover songs titled “Separation Sessions,” which the band recorded remotely during quarantine. “We had a blast doing it and were able to experiment with songs we loved, sometimes doing totally different versions,” Imbrogno said. “Who knows, we may even bust one of those out.” Otherwise, UMS-goers who attend Eldren’s set can expect “some old familiar tunes, as well as a couple new ones and surprises,” Imbrogno said. Eldren hasn’t performed live since February 2020, so the band is very much looking forward to performing at UMS, Imbrogno said. “I think everyone can expect an emotional and energetic show,” he added.

owner Bobbi Walker is exploring in the new exhibit, Experimental Expressions. “In featuring these artists who work abstractly, we are recognizing a creative act as an experiment,” Walker explained. “This can ease the weight of seriousness for the artist and allow room for freeflowing ideation through creative spontaneity and emotional expression.” On view at the gallery, 300 W. 11th Ave., No. A, in Denver, through Saturday, Sept. 4, Experimental Expressions features the work of six artists who, according to provided information, “seek balance between inner narratives and outside influences, expanding upon their individual discoveries through sculpture, drawing, painting and mark-making.” The participating artists (along with some information provided by the gallery) are: Atticus Adams, whose “sculptural work is inspired by the nostalgia of summers at his grandmother’s house … Adams’ sculptures are touchstones of happy times.” Deidre Adams, for whom “making abstract work is often about solving problems of her own creations … [her] pieces present a

constant and intriguing dialogue of color, form and texture.” Carol Browning, who is working towards “unlocking the sights, sounds and movement of nature. (She) presents visual symphonies on canvas, an expression in markmaking and vibrant color that emphasize the rhythms of life.” Patricia Finley “presents works from her experiments with ink. In all works, color is the underlying theme, result and purpose behind her creations.” Melanie Grein is displaying “a new body of work that projects buoyancy … Grein’s paintings, which explore relationships of space, line, color and texture, interpret land, sky and water to offer calm and solace.” Ben Strawn, whose “newest works are predicated on a practice of automatic drawing executed in charcoal on paper. (His) constructed images become worlds of form, abstract landscapes of shape, color, chiaroscuro, and movement.” When putting together an exhibit, Walker said the artists communicate frequently about their work, which allows the gallery to do some pre-curation.

In light of new data on the delta coronavirus variant, the CDC in late July updated its guidance for fully vaccinated people. The CDC now recommends “universal indoor masking for all teachers, staff, students, and visitors to K-12 schools, regardless of vaccination status,” according to its website. The CDC’s change in guidance was based on surges in infection due to the delta variant in many parts of the United States, as well as evolving understanding of vaccinated persons’

Tri-County Health officials are “seeing promising trends in the 12-and-up vaccination rates in all three counties,” the agency’s statement said. As of Aug. 10, 72.9% of the counties’ 12-plus population has received at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine. Among the 12-to-15 age group, specifically, in Adams, 47.8% had initiated or completed the vaccination process, compared with 56.2% in Arapahoe and 55.5% in Douglas, according to Tri-County data. For the 16-to-17 age group, Adams stood at 57.6%, Arapahoe at 66.1% and Douglas at 67.2%.

No heightened standards for South Platte Water commissioners decline upgrades quality rules for the urban river BY MICHAEL BOOTH THE COLORADO SUN

Public officials, conservation groups and citizen speakers pleaded with the Colorado Water Quality Control Commission Monday to reverse a 2020 decision and strengthen protections for the South Platte River in north Denver and Adams County, but the commissioners declined. Opponents of the commission’s decision last year thought they had one last chance in a “town hall” feedback format to urge the commissioners to revisit the controversial vote, which rejected a staff recommendation to upgrade the South Platte to higher water quality protections. They pointed to the recent weeks of high heat and air pollution in metro Denver, as well as a new climate change report showing irrefutable and irreversible damage to the environment, as more reasons to protect the river with tougher regulations. “We cannot wait five more years to upgrade or revisit what’s happening to the communities in north Denver,” said Ean Tafoya, Colorado director of the nonprofit GreenLatinos. The commissioners, who are ap-

pointed by Gov. Jared Polis to oversee the Water Quality Control Division of the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, said they would not reverse their 2020 decision now. The coalition favoring more protections said after the town hall they would consider trying to force the commission to reconsider through a petition process, by taking legal action. But some commissioners appeared to leave the door open to further discussions and to seek more community input on future river decisions. “I think what we have now is a clarion call to revisit how this body does business. Without blaming anyone or anything, I think we’ve come to take for granted the way things work,” commission Chair Joan Card said. “And, the way things work is not working for everybody in an equitable way.” Those who want to elevate the South Platte’s urban stretches used the commission’s town hall comment period to attack the 2020 decision. The staff of the water quality division last year had recommended that the South Platte River through north Denver and Adams County, long plagued by industrial releases and wastewater effluent, be upgraded to the next higher level of stream protections. The higher level would have forced existing polluters in that section, like Metro Wastewater, Suncor or Molson Coors, to avoid further degrading water quality

with any new activity unless they could prove it was essential to their continuing business. As it stands now, those existing polluters have “protected use” status that permits them to degrade the water, even though water quality in those central urban streams has improved in recent decades. The Colorado division of Parks and Wildlife, the Environmental Protection Agency, the Adams County Commissioners and others had supported the staff request for a river protection upgrade. The water commissioners rejected the idea last year, and then again in June. Adams County Commissioner Steve O’Dorisio said he wanted to be frank with the water commissioners that not enough opponents were prepared for the discussion ahead of the 2020 decision. “Back in 2020 we did not know how this specific decision would affect our river and our communities,” O’Dorisio said. Jeff Neuman-Lee, describing himself as a citizen speaker for the town hall forum, pointed to Colorado’s air fouled by wildfire smoke and heat-generated ozone in recent weeks. “We’ve been just degrading our Earth over and over and over again, and we can’t tolerate any more,” he said. “It’s depressing to see that we’re allowing water quality to go unheeded; to create stretches of our rivers and say we don’t care about them, we’re just

going to let them go.” One water quality commissioner urged the speakers Monday to avoid making their policy arguments into personal attacks, but added that the commission has heard the past year’s worth of protests loud and clear. “I just want to assure you that we’re not ignoring anyone, but our entire job and role on this commission is to hear you,” water Commissioner April Long said. Some of Monday’s speakers said they were concerned that leaving the South Platte’s water quality protection where it is now will weaken the current permit renewal process underway for the Suncor refinery, which borders Sand Creek as it empties into the South Platte. The state health department is reviewing and answering public comments on Suncor’s permit application, and conservationists and neighborhood groups want Suncor’s water and air pollution caps cut way back. “This idea of grandfathered legacy pollution,” Tafoya said, “just because they always have, doesn’t mean they should continue to.” This story is from The Colorado Sun, a journalist-owned news outlet based in Denver and covering the state.

Ravens soccer looking to build in 2021 BY STEVE SMITH SSMITH@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Riverdale Ridge’s Isaac Sanchez warms up his footwork before a recent Ravens’ practice. PHOTO BY STEVE SMITH

Riverdale Ridge boys soccer coach Archie Suniga is hoping the Ravens will build off the spring 3-7 campaign. “It’s a motivated group. They are excited. We had a great turnout in the offseason. We’ve had a great turnout this season,” Suniga said. We’re rebuilding. Hopefully we can continue off the success that the program is moving in the right direction. It’s still a young group.” Cody Minne is the only senior on the Ravens’ squad. “There’s a good core among them that will help take this team further along than we were at the end of the spring,” Suniga said. There are 11 juniors on the roster, including Isaac Sanchez. Josue Pina-Lizama, Brody White, Bailey Vincent, Logan Nicoll and Josh Pedroza. “We’re looking for a lot of movement, better passes, making plays,” he said. “We can do that a lot better and work harder. I’d like to score some goals – and make better passes.” “It’s good core of players,” Suniga said. “There wasn’t a lot of time to do summer stuff. More people have come out every time, so that’s been good. It’s tough to get our name out there and market the program, I guess. All the credit goes to the boys, their word of mouth. The boys are getting their friends to come out here.” RRHS’ strengths figure to be a year of playing together on the same team and a year’s knowledge of Suniga’s system.

“They are more comfortable with each other. It’s a very athletic group,” Suniga said. “Some of them played club over the summer. That was good to keep them playing.” The one weakness Suniga sees is speed of play. “It’s a change of habits,” he said. “We’re still working to get those bad habits out of there. We need to learn to win this game with our heads and using your feet as the tools to do it. The speed is faster at this stage. They’re getting there. Some aren’t quite there, but they’ll come around.” The Ravens visit Brighton at 7 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 26. Suniga hopes the Ravens learned how to win in the shortened spring season. “We didn’t have a lot of players. We’re a small team,” Sanchez said. “We had a lot of different changes. We were stuck at home for a long time. It really impacted us a lot.” “Last year, we struggled with being fit enough to play a whole game,” he said. “We’ve put a focus on fitness levels for everyone. Hopefully legs won’t die out in 20 minutes. We need to learn to save the energy at certain times and when to use it. The league we’re in is a tough league. We have to come with it every game for 80 minutes. “We have to play faster, think faster, react faster,” he added. “Hopefully, we get there.” “Everybody is in shape now, much better than last year,” Sanchez said. “There is more talent. It’s a bigger team. We can play positions that we like.”

No more quarantine issues for Mustangs, Riccio hopes BY STEVE SMITH SSMITH@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

In spite of the coronavirus issues from the spring football season, Mountain Range football coach Todd Riccio was happy in at least one respect. Some of his younger players picked up playing time on Mustangs’ varsity team, whether it was the result of a COVID-19 quarantine or a series of injuries. “The younger kids earned it,” Riccio said. “We had kids who were injured or who wound up in quarantine, and we started asking, ‘Who else have we got?’ We had one kid, a starting linebacker, who got hurt playing catch before a game. His back-up got dinged up in the game, so we used a freshman defensive end. We asked him if he wanted to play offensive tackle, and he said,

‘Sure.’ He held his own. That’s part of what we were up against.” The Mustangs picked up one win in six starts during the spring football season. Senior quarterback Anthony Vieth (he also plays linebacker, defensive end and running back) threw for 748 yards and seven touchdowns. He also ran for 145 yards, the second-most on the team. Riccio is looking for contributions from senior tight end/defensive end/defensive tackle Mitchell West. Garrett Walker figures to occupy one of the guard spots on the offensive line. He stands 5 feet 10 inches tall and weighs 175 pounds. “He has a motor, and he just goes,” Riccio said. “He’s going to be a great leader on the line for us. He’s taken control, which is nice to see.”

Running back Daniel Tangi (35 rushing yards, 43 receiving yards) returns for his junior season. Another junior, Dylan Sherman (216 rushing yards, tops on the squad and 40 yards in pass receiving) returns. “Our strength is the group of kids we have. They have shown so much in overcoming all of the things last year,” Riccio said. “Our running backs will be strong. Our linebackers, our secondary, (our) defensive line? They’re strong. Our weakness is we are thin. I’d like to see some more depth. We have a lot of kids without a lot of varsity experience. We need some of them to step up.” There is a chance of more contact tracing and quarantines, thanks to the spread of the Delta variant of the virus. But as of late last week,

Riccio was planning for a much smoother season. “Last year, some of the kids were mad (about quarantines) because they did nothing wrong,” Riccio said. “The kids were resilient. They were up for the challenge. The last two weeks, we did half-line drills and we told the kids, ‘You can’t get injured.’ “The kids were great. They persevered. They were willing to adapt to the changes,” Riccio added. “We can control the things we can control, like who shows up. We have a dedicated group of kids that are working hard. We have a good ninth-grade class. We’ll have some competition for playing time. The kids are going to be looking over their shoulders.” The Mustangs open their season on Aug. 27 against Douglas County.

Please direct all correspondence or inquiries regarding this matter to the attorneys for the Applicant: Carolyn F. Burr, Esq., James M. Noble, Esq., Jens Jensen, Esq., WELBORN SULLIVAN MECK & TOOLEY, P.C., 1401 Lawrence Street, Suite 1800, Denver, Colorado 80202, Telephone: (303) 830-2500. APPLICATION FOR FINDING OF REASONABLE DILIGENCE, in ADAMS, CLEAR CREEK, DENVER AND JEFFERSON COUNTIES. 2. Introduction: This is an application for a finding of reasonable diligence for the conditional portion of an appropriative right of exchange originally decreed on Clear Creek, South Clear Creek, Cabin Creek, and Leavenworth Creek in Division 1 Case No. 95CW157 (the “Fisher Ditch/Clear Creek Exchange” or the “Subject Water Right”). The 95CW157 decree authorized exchanges to seven different reservoirs. One of those reservoirs is Green Lake, which has its point of diversion on Leavenworth Creek. In the most recent diligence

proceeding, Green Lake was removed as an “exchange-to” point for the Subject Water Right. Therefore, the Subject Water Right now authorizes exchanges to six different reservoirs on Clear Creek, South Clear Creek, and Cabin Creek. 3. Name of Structure and Conditional Water Right: Fisher Ditch/Clear Creek Exchange. 4. Description of Conditional Water Rights: 4.1. Description and Prior Decrees. The Fisher Ditch/Clear Creek Exchange was originally decreed on March 20, 1997 in Case No. 1995CW157. PSCo was found to have met the requirements of reasonable diligence and a portion was made absolute in Case No. 2003CW141 on November 23, 2008. A subsequent decree was entered in Case No. 14CW3139 on July 29, 2015, finding that PSCo exercised reasonable diligence with respect to the remaining conditional portion of the Subject Water Right. The Subject Water Right is an exchange on Clear Creek and certain tributaries that extends from the Fisher Augmentation Station upstream to the South Clear Creek Reservoirs, which are described below. The sources of substitute water supply for the Subject Water Right are PSCo’s interests in the Fisher Ditch water right, which were changed from agricultural use to industrial uses, in Case Nos. 1991CW5 and 1995CW156. Under the Fisher Ditch/Clear Creek Exchange, PSCo’s pro rata interest in the Fisher Ditch water right is diverted and recorded at the Fisher Ditch headgate and is then measured and returned to Clear Creek through the Fisher Augmentation Station. Simultaneous with such returns from the Fisher Augmentation Station, diversions that would otherwise be out-of-priority are made in amounts equal to the consumptive use portions of the Fisher Augmentation Station returns at one or more of the upstream South Clear Creek Reservoirs. The streams on which the exchange is made are Clear Creek and its tributaries, South Clear Creek, and Cabin Creek. 4.2. Description of Locations and Facilities Involved in Exchange: The facilities and their locations involved in the exchange are described below. The locations of the facilities are also shown on the maps attached as Figure 1 and Figure 2. 4.2.1. Fisher Augmentation Station: The Fisher Augmentation Station is located near the Fisher Ditch headgate, which is on the South bank of Clear Creek in the Northwest quarter of Section 17, Township 3 South, Range 68 West, 6th P.M., Adams County, Colorado, at a point which is approximately 60 feet East and 200 feet South of the Northwest corner of said section, and for which the decreed point of diversion is in the Southwest quarter of Section 8, Township 3 South, Range 68 West, 6th P.M., Adams County, Colorado. 4.2.2.

Lower Cabin Creek Reservoir. Lower Cabin Creek Reservoir is located on South Clear Creek in Sections 31 and 32, Township 4 South, Range 74 West, of the 6th P.M., Clear Creek County, Colorado. The active capacity of Lower Cabin Creek Reservoir is 1,958.50 acre-feet. Lower Cabin Creek Reservoir also stores water from Cabin Creek. Lower Cabin Creek Reservoir is interconnected with Upper Cabin Creek Reservoir as part of a pumped storage hydroelectric project. 4.2.2.5. Upper Cabin Creek Reservoir. Upper Cabin Creek Reservoir is located on Cabin Creek, a tributary

of South Clear Creek, in Section 6, Township 5 South, Range 74 West, of the 6th P.M., Clear Creek County, Colorado. The active capacity of Upper Cabin Creek Reservoir is 1,576.80 acrefeet.

Appropriation Date and Amount: 4.4.1. Date of Appropriation: July 31, 1995. 4.4.2. Amount: 12.50 cfs ABSOLUTE; 1.80 cfs CONDITIONAL (for a total of 14.30 cfs). 4.5. Decreed Uses of Water Diverted by Exchange: Water that is exchanged pursuant to the Subject Water Right is stored in one or more of PSCo’s South Clear Creek Reservoirs. Beneficial uses include replacement of evaporative depletions from the South Clear Creek Reservoirs; all industrial purposes associated with the generation of electrical energy at the Cherokee Station, including, without limitation, power generation, cooling, and evaporation replacement; and for the purpose of meeting return flow obligations required by PSCo’s decrees in 1991CW5, 1995CW156, and 2002CW54, either by release from the South Clear Creek Reservoirs, or by discharge after use in the Cherokee Station. 5. Evidence of Reasonable Diligence Towards Completing Appropriation. 5.1. PSCo has diligently monitored stream conditions, exchange potential and priority calls on Clear Creek and South Clear Creek to allow it to operate the Subject Water Right on an ongoing basis. PSCo has operated the Subject Water Right on numerous occasions during the diligence period. 5.2. During the diligence period, PSCo obtained the necessary permits and approvals, and it started construction of an upgrade of its Cabin Creek Pumped Storage Hydroelectric Project from 324MW to 360MW, which will increase the demand for water from the Lower Cabin Creek Reservoir. The expansion also includes an enlargement of the Upper Creek Reservoir with resulting additional evaporative losses that Subject Water Right will help replace. Expenditures included approximately $70,000,000 to upgrade and refurbish the pump-turbine units of the Cabin Creek pumped storage hydroelectric project, and approximately $4,900,000 to raise the parapet wall of the Upper Cabin Creek Reservoir dam. 5.3. During the diligence period, PSCo reconstructed the Clear Lake Dam, at a cost of approximately $3,350,000. Clear Lake will continue to serve as one of the “exchange-to” points for the Subject Water Right. 5.4. PSCo successfully obtained a decree in Division 1 Case No. 07CW318 for an additional water storage right in Clear Lake Reservoir on March 17, 2016, based on a larger active-storage capacity in Clear Lake Reservoir than had been previously estimated. This decree also imposes specific requirements for replacement of evaporation at Clear Lake. The Subject Water Right is one source of replacement for such evaporation. 5.5. During the diligence period, PSCo investgated options for the rehabilitation of the Silver Dollar Reservoir and Murray Reservoir structures, including the technical and economic feasibility of completing the work in compliance with United States Forest Sservice (“USFS”) land access restrictions. PSCo engaged in discussions with the USFS regarding permit requirements for upgrading the structures, surface access options through USFS lands and approval requirements. 5.6. During the diligence period, PSCo conducted several activities to improve and maintain those parts of its Clear Creek integrated water supply system associated with the Cherokee Station. These activities include the following: 5.6.1. PSCo expended approximately $43,000,000 to engineer and install equipment to transition the Cherokee Station to a zero liquid discharge facility, or discharge directly to the Metro Wastewater Reclamation District. 5.6.2. PSCo expended approximately $23,000,000 to upgrade one of the electricity generation turbine systems at the Cherokee Station. 5.6.3. PSCo coordinated with the Fisher Ditch Company to improve the ditch structure from the diversion point on Clear Creek to approximately Federal Boulevard. This improvement allows the Fisher Ditch to convey water more efficiently and at a higher rate through the improved portions. 5.6.4. PSCo, in coordination with the Fisher Ditch Company, has planned to improve Copeland Reservoir, which is used for the delivery of the Lower Cabin Creek Industrial Use Right, including shoring up the banks and maintaining the dam. 5.6.5. PSCo is a majority shareholder of the Fisher Ditch Company, which obtained a loan from the Colorado Water Conservation Board for the purposes of completing the ditch improvements described above that will improve the capacity and reliability of the Fisher Ditch. As a major shareholder of the Fisher Ditch Company, PSCo contributed substantially to the repayment obligations pursuant to this loan during the diligence period. 5.7. During the diligence period, PSCo participated as an objector in numerous Division 1 water court cases in order to protect its existing water rights on the South Platte River and its tributaries, including Clear Creek. Some of these cases have concluded, and others are ongoing. Some of the cases on Clear Creek in which PSCo has participated as an objector during the diligence period include Case Nos. 05CW112, 11CW237, 15CW3179, 16CW3186, 17CW3105, 17CW3177, 17CW3210, 18CW3007, 18CW3090, 18CW3159, 18CW3225, 19CW3037, 19CW3055, 21CW3020, and 21CW3038. 6. Names and Ad-

dresses of Owners of the Land Upon Which any New Diversion or Storage Structure, or Modification to any Existing Diversion or Storage Structure is or will be Constructed or upon Which Water is or will be Stored, Including any Modification to the existing Storage Pool. Clear Lake Dam and Upper and Lower Cabin Creek Reservoirs have been undergoing modifications. Clear Lake Dam is located on land owned by a subsidiary of Applicant, Public Service Company of Colorado. Upper and Lower Cabin Creek Reservoirs are located on land owned by the USFS. The address for the USFS Clear Creek Ranger District is P.O. Box 3307, Idaho Springs, CO 80452. WHEREFORE, PSCo requests that the Court enter a decree finding that PSCo has satisfied the statutory standard of steady application of effort to complete the appropriation in a reasonably expedient and efficient manner under all the facts and circumstances and that reasonable diligence was performed during the diligence period in development of the Subject Water Right, and that the conditional portion of the Subject Water Right should continue.

‘South Park’ creators agree to buy Casa Bonita Deal for Lakewood icon not final until bankruptcy litigation concludes BY BOB WOOLEY BWOOLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Art imitates life, imitates art? In a virtual press conference with Governor Jared Polis, Trey Parker and Matt Stone, creators

of the animated series, South Park, confirmed they’ve reached an agreement to buy Casa Bonita. The legendary Lakewood Mexican restaurant has been shuttered since early in the pandemic. Its owner, Summit Restaurant Group, declared bankruptcy earlier in the year. Even before Friday’s announcement, South Park and Casa Bonita would have forever been linked in the annals of pop-culture history after the restaurant was

featured in a now-classic episode of the series. Parker and Stone said they’re aware of recent community efforts including a GoFundMe campaign to save the restaurant. “We’re excited to work with everybody to make it the place we all want to make it,” Parker said. They said they’re also aware the quality of the food could be improved a little — or a lot — and hope to do just that. Parker relayed a story of his then 4-year-

old daughter’s less-than-enthusiastic reaction to her meal after a visit. “If a kid can’t stomach it (the food), it’s pretty bad,” he said. Recently, in lieu of being open for business, Casa Bonita has been giving guided tours, to comply with lease provisions. Just weeks ago, Robert Wheaton, CEO of Summit Family Restaurants told Denver’s Channel 7 that he planned on reopening Casa Bonita in September.
