The Colorado Independent Redistricting Commission held a virtual meeting with the option for in person testimony available at a site in Thornton on Sept. 10, drawing feedback from residents across the state on the latest proposed Congressional District maps. The new maps – the Commission’s first plan based on 2020 census data – are the latest in the Commission’s race to present a finalized proposal to the Colo. Supreme Court by the Sept. 28 deadline. Another iteration of the map could be released on Sept. 15, and a third on Sept. 23 if needed. Residents from Westminster weighed in at the virtual meeting, expressing their desire to keep the municipality in one singular Congressional District. Luis Corchato, a Westminster resident, disagreed with the Commission’s proposal to divide the city by Adams County and Jefferson County lines. “Westminster is the eighth largest city in Colorado,” said Corchato. “It’s a home rule city, its council voted in at large, and dividing it between 45,000 people and 71,000 people just devastates Westminster’s ability to negotiate with the representative. And so, I respectfully ask that you keep Westminster whole.” Kevin Allen, also a Westminster resident, proposed that the city be kept whole and included in the newly formed Eighth Congressional District. “I will say that I do prefer SEE DISTRICT, P6

Pirates prepare to take Webster Lake Annual festival returns with a ball, boat races and pirate costumes BY KATHLEEN DUNLAP SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA
Leo Szymanski is excited. The 12-year-old pirate enthusiast plans to race his cardboard boat on Sept. 18, in the City of Northglenn’s Cardboard Regatta event. The Cardboard Regatta is a part of the Annual Pirate’s Festival held annually at the Northglenn Recreation Center and the EB Rains Jr. Memorial Park. Szymanski feels no nerves as the event approaches as he has raced every year in the Regatta. An avid kayaker, he has had much success with his boats in the race. “I’ve won 1st place, 2nd place, 3rd place and an honorable mention,” Szymanski said nonchalantly. His boat this year will be decorated with pink Pirate regalia as it floats with the other contestants across Webster Lake. Szymanski is not looking for celebrity status for his past wins, just to make it across the lake without mishap. “The point is to have fun,” he says. Fun is the overarching theme of the Pirate Festival Sept. 17 and 18. The festival includes food, entertainment, and of course, pirates of all varieties. Friday evening’s “Pirate Ball,” will be geared to adults, but
Saturday’s “Pirate Fest”, which includes the Cardboard Regatta, will be family-friendly. Magicians, circus clowns, a bouncy house, and treasure hunts are scheduled for kids of all ages. Live band performances include Finnegan’s Wake and Chancer’s Hooley. Michael Sherida, the Festival’s MC and “Jack Sparrow,” looks forward to the event every year. “Kids are swash-buckling, and adults are carousing—it’s great,” Sherida says. As MC, he announces the bands, hosts the costume contests, and cheers on the participants of the Cardboard Regatta. His character creates a light-hearted, upbeat atmosphere for attendees. The Pirate costume contest is Sherida’s favorite part of the festival. The contest is held on Friday for adults, then again on Saturday for the kids. Sherida has seen every type of costume—from fancy regalia mirroring the famous Captain Hook to ragged and dirty renegade pirates who are ready to storm a rival ship. The contest promotes creativity and participation from all age groups. “Bring your “A” game,” Sherida encourages. While the contest is informal, there are prizes, including the crowning of a Pirate King. Sherida recognizes the joy that the Festival has brought to the community since its inception in 2015. He gets to be the face of the event but behind the scenes are the dedicated

efforts of the City of Northglenn employees, Steve Stokes and Ashley Garst. “It’s a labor of love,” Sherida says. Because of Stokes and Garst, the Festival has thrived over the last six years, even during the COVID-19 restrictions in 2020. Stokes and Garst coordinate the building of props, the research of pirate myths and lore, and the lineup of bands. Their devotion to pirates gets a bright spotlight each year. “It’s a well put-together event,” Sherida affirms. For Leo Szymanski, being at the

What began in Wyoming as a high seas version of a popular board game now looks to commandeer Northglenn’s Pirate Festival The Casper, Wyo. theatrical Pirate troupe the Brethren of the Tide will perform at the Pirate’s Festival on Saturday, Sept. 18, at 1 p.m., 3 p.m., and 5 p.m. Brian Davy, Troupe leader and creator, was inspired by the board game Clue when he wrote the musical comedy skit show in 2011. “I transformed the characters into Pirates, and included audience participation on solving the murder mystery,” Davy says. “And the show evolved from there.” The Troupe has performed in Caribbean Cruise Dinner Theaters and Renaissance Festivals all over Wyoming. Davy said the troupe is eager to be a part of the Northglenn Pirate’s Festival. “It will be our first time performing in front of our Pirate peers,” Davy said. “Our group doesn’t concentrate on period
Pirate’s Festival is simply a great way to spend a Saturday. After racing his boat, he plans to hang out with his other Pirate-loving friends and enjoy the festival’s other offerings. Also, one day, he hopes to be the Pirate King.

perfectionism. We are the theatrical pirates—focused on color and costumes!” The group’s name is based on the historical ring of pirate ships, called “The Brethren of the Coast”. The Brethren banded together in the 1700s to chase after any merchant ship carrying gold. “Together they were a formidable force,” Davy said. He feels the same way about his team of performers. While he understands their act may draw some criticism from fellow Pirates, he remains enthused to share the show. “Anybody can be a Pirate, so we hope everyone just enjoys our act.” For Saturday’s shows, the character lineup consists of Davy as Captain Fleming Green, Amber Davy as Captain Josephine Scarlett, Nickolas Skalicky as Captain Theodor Booty, Kat Skalicky as Captain Thomasina, and Drew Stratton as Captain Marion Mustard.

COVID program nets Thornton EMS national award Fire department staff honored for testing, vaccines and monitoring BY SCOTT TAYLOR STAYLOR@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Thornton Fire personnel regularly staffed COVID-19 testing stations throughout the 2020 pandemic, just like a lot of fire departments nationally did, according to Bill Webb of the Congressional Fire Services Institute. And when the vaccine was available, they offered drive-through sites, distributing the vaccine to more than 82,000 — but so did a lot of departments. What helped push them over the top was tracking fire department and city personnel who came down with the virus, using pulse oximeters to track their progress as they fought through the disease. “It was the early stages of the pandemic and what they were doing was innovative,” Webb said. “They accepted a challenge and were very proactive in working with public health.” Webb and Juli Yomogida of medical equipment manufacturer Masimo award the fire department’s EMS team — and especially the city’s Pandemic Response Team — with their Excellence in Fire Services award Sept. 7, just prior to the
City Council’s evening meeting. The award was established in 2010 to recognize fire departments for excellence in delivering emergency medical services. It’s meant to recognize departments for creating programs that let them deliver better on-scene emergency medical care for a broad range of illnesses and injuries while reducing patient transport to over-burned emergency rooms. “Prior to the pandemic, CFSI would present this award at the annual National Fire Emergency Services dinner attended by 2,000 fire and emergency service leaders from across the nation, but we had to cancel our last two events because of the pandemic,” Webb said. The group does plan to host a smaller ceremony in Washington D.C. in October. “It’ll be a smaller gathering of fire service leaders, administration officials and members of Congress,” he said. “It will afford us the opportunity to recognize your fire department and other award recipients before your peers and congressional leaders.“ The award is co-sponsored by CFSI and Masimo, a global medical-device technology company that develops and manufactures innovative noninvasive patient monitoring devices. Webb said his group looked at COVID-19 programs from hundreds of fire departments across the country for this year’s award. Many were

innovative, he said, but Thornton’s program stood out. It didn’t hurt that they used a Masimo-brand pulse oximeter to help keep track of the sick colleagues. “It was just everything. The application they submitted had a little bit of everything in there,” Webb said. “Since then, we’ve seen departments do a lot of this stuff. But a lot fo what they were doing took place long before a vaccine was available, so there was a high degree of uncertainty and panic across the community. So when they launched this program, it helped allay a lot of
fears and I think it had a serious impact reducing that and the number of hospital visits.“ Thornton Fire Chief Gordie Olson said he has a remarkable staff. “I am very, very proud of our department and especially our EMS team,” Olson said. “Part of this is for our efforts in telemedicine, telehealth and the mission our team has taken on and delivered admirably. With the COVID crisis, we stepped up and our team has been like no other in the state and now the country. I’ve very proud of all of you and to be part of this tonight.“

County launches work on Veterans memorial Mann-Nyholt Lake to be site for memorial, battleship pier BY SCOTT TAYLOR STAYLOR@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
A new veterans memorial being built in Adams County’s Riverdale Regional Park will feature a fishing pier built to resemble the battleship U.S.S. Colorado, county officials said. “To have our third of July fireworks presented over such an incredible monument,” County Commissioner Chaz Tedesco said. “This will be the biggest memorial in Colorado and it’s my hope through the Board of County Commissioners that it will continue to grow and include all the military services. We have plenty of land, plenty of drive to do it and our commissioners are dedicated to getting this done.” County employees joined local dignitaries on the banks of the Mann-Nyholt Lake on Sept. 8 to celebrate and break ground on the new veterans memorial, due to be open in late summer 2022. “A memorial is built for the living, but to remember those that passed,” Tedesco said. “The memorial is here to recognize those that gave the ultimate sacrifice, that of their life. This memorial should be a place of somber remembrance,

excitement and exuberance for those that want to pass into military service. To remember and honors those people is a way to serve again.” When finished, the memorial will be a life-sized model of the battleship U.S.S. Colorado, with the bow jutting into the lake and the current trail passing through the site. It will be surrounded by trails, memorial plaques and places to sit. Michael Jenet, chair of the county’s Veterans Advisory Board, said the memorial was one of the first tasks his group began working on

when commissioners created it three years ago. He said the group visited similar memorials across the country with the goal of encouraging honor and attention to detail. “We wanted to create something where people could come and enjoy the space,” Jenet said. “Whether it’s fishing off the bow of the ship or having a picnic or sitting in the amphitheater and looking over the water watching the fireworks. And I think if you look at the images of the plan, we accomplished that goal.”

State had no fatal crashes over Labor Day weekend, CDOT reports STAFF REPORT
Colorado normally sees several highway deaths over the long Labor Day weekend each year, but not this year, the Colorado Department of Transportation reports. According to preliminary CDOT data released Sept. 9, the state
avoided any fatal crashes this year over the final holiday weekend of the summer. “This marks the first time in recent history that no deaths occurred on state roads over Labor Day weekend,” a CDOT release said. That’s despite the fact that Labor
Day weekend is usually one of the deadliest holiday periods of the year on Colorado roads. Over the last 15 years, Labor Day weekend road fatalities have ranged from three in 2022 to 16 in 2016, CDOT said. Overall, there were 412 traffic fatalities on Colorado roads at the
time of CDOT’s Sept. 9 report, a 6% decrease from this time last year. Of those, 153 were related to impaired driving, the Colorado State Patrol reported. For 15 years of CDOT statistics on fatal holiday crashes across Colorado, go online to tinyurl. com/HolidayFatalCrashes.

Moylan said the suspects didn’t take the Corvettes but managed to steal several high-dollar items, according to deputies, including the 1967 Plymouth Valiant that belonged to the son of the homeowners.
“In addition to the Valiant and other high-dollar items, the suspects stole 500 rounds of .308 ammunition,” Moylan said. “Deputies, therefore, assume the suspects are armed and dangerous.” Moylan urged the public not to confront the suspects and, instead, call 911. Call 970-400-4547.

Arapahoe, Adams look at whether to exit Tri-County Health BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Following news that Douglas County could form its own health department soon, Arapahoe County confirmed that Arapahoe and Adams counties have also been contemplating splitting away from Tri-County Health Department in its current form. By October, commissioners in both Arapahoe and Adams counties will be provided with findings from a transition team to inform a decision on a new structure for public health services, according to a statement from Arapahoe County. Both Arapahoe and Adams County have been a part of TriCounty Health since the agency was founded in 1948. Consultants are examining the scenarios of a two-county health agency or creating single-county health departments, said Luc Hatlestad, spokesperson for Arapahoe County. “We set this up in the spring (or) summer,” Hatlestad said, adding that the study was initiated once it became clear that Douglas wasn’t going to stick with Tri-County Health. Douglas County’s consideration of leaving the agency -- which at press time was to come up for action on Sept. 7 -- came amid a rift with Tri-County Health over the agency’s pandemic safety policies and its decision not to let counties

opt themselves out of its mandates. But Douglas County commissioners back in July 2020 announced they would eventually leave Tri-County Health, citing a wish for more local control over public health orders. That plan was put on hold under an agreement with Tri-County allowing counties to opt out of public-health orders. But the agency’s board voted on Aug. 30 to no longer allow opt-outs.
An Arapahoe County spokesperson emphasized that the county’s consideration of leaving Tri-County Health isn’t because of disagreement with the health agency. “We began looking at other public health agency options after Douglas announced its intentions to leave Tri-County last year,” Hatlestad said. “We did not initiate this because of any dissatisfaction with Tri-County — we’ve actually worked extremely well with them since the beginning of the pandemic.” Douglas County exiting the health agency would potentially create financial or budgetary problems for the other two counties, Hatlestad added. Tri-County Health has been working with Adams and Arapahoe counties over the past several months to develop a transition plan, Hatlestad said earlier. Since the process began, Adams and Arapahoe started to include the possibility of single-county public health agencies in the process.

Making resources available to combat suicide ‘epidemic’ BY STEVE SMITH SSMITH@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
COMMERCE CITY – The 17th Judicial District Attorney’s Office set up shop outside the Reunion Coffee House in Commerce City on Sept. 10 to talk about something no one really wants to discuss. Suicide. On that day, World Suicide Prevention Day, the discussion focused on ways to prevent it. “We want people to talk openly about suicide,” said Levon Hupfer, the diversion director for the DA’s office. “Sometimes it’s OK not to be OK.” A press statement from DA Brian Mason said 800,000 people worldwide will take their own lives. In the

Others objected to Fort Collins’ exclusion from the rest of Larimer County, arguing that the county seat does not have much in common with the surrounding rural areas. “It does not make sense to put people who live in the western side of rural Colorado and the southern part of rural Colorado together
United States, there are 130 suicides per day, and it’s the 10th-leading cause of death. “The mental health crisis has a severe impact on our community and disproportionately Hupfer impacts the criminal justice system,” Mason said in the statement. “The district attorney’s office is deeply committed to addressing this mental health crisis and to bringing greater awareness to World Suicide Prevention Day and other similarly important events.” Hupfer said while it’s important to report that someone commits a crime, suicide is not a crime. “People often say, ‘Someone com-
mitted suicide.’ We’re trying to change the culture because there is so much shame,” he said. “We don’t say it. It’s not appropriate to say it. We want family members of those who died by suicide to feel loved. Our mission is to help people out.” Hupfer said because of support from the Adams County board of commissioners, he and his staff can focus solely on suicide prevention. One starting point is through the Adams and Broomfield counties’ Life Line. The number is 303-835LIFE (5433). “Don’t be afraid to talk. We’d love for people to reach out,” Hupfer said. “We need more people to have this conversation. Our office wants to provide the assistance. There are
no barriers. It can be shared resources. People need to support each other.” Hupfer called suicide “an epidemic.” “Young people are looking for a connection. That’s why we’re reaching out,” Hupfer said. “Young people are struggling with substance abuse, and they don’t get help for that. They also have problems with anxiety and don’t get help for that. “Suicide is complex, and there is still much to learn about how to help people, but we refuse to remain silent about those who’ve we lost to suicide, so our work continues to help strip away the shame and blame around the subject by connecting people to hope, healing and support.”
with groups like people from Boulder and Fort Collins,” said Jason Dokken, a Mead resident. “It makes absolutely zero sense at all.” Ruth Long was more animated, arguing the Fort Collins’ educational bent sets it apart from its rural neighbors. “The Fourth Congressional District and the Eastern plains is primarily rural agricultural and has the highest oil and gas production in the state,” said Long. “Fort Collins is primarily in the foothills and home to high tech companies and a top-tier research university and a highly educated population. Northeast Colorado has attempted to secede from Colorado; Fort Col-
lins is proud to be an urban center in the north-central part of the state.” Gil Reyes, a Northglenn resident, expressed concerns about Hispanic Latino representation in the new proposed maps. “I was pleased with the (initially) proposed Eighth Congressional District,” said Reyes. “It contained an area that included a good portion of the population centers of Adams and Weld Counties. The Hispanic Latino population would be well represented, including the eastern portions of Greeley. However, I read in the Colorado Sun that a new replacement map is being looked at by the Commission which
would put Greeley and more importantly eastern Colorado back into the Fourth Congressional District. “Historically, the eastern portion of Greeley has not been well represented by the representatives of the Fourth Congressional District,” Reyes continued. “I would ask the commission to approve the (initial) proposed Eighth Congressional District as constructed in the proposed map, as it would allow the Hispanic residents and east Greeley to and the rest of the Eighth Congressional district to finally have responsive representation in Congress.” The first elections under the new districts will be in 2022.

Clinic begins advising legal help for patients Salud offering help evictions, deportations, other legal woes BY JAKOB RODGERS KAISER HEALTH NEWS
COMMERCE CITY— In her 19 years of living with cerebral palsy, scoliosis and other ailments, Cynthia Enriquez De Santiago has endured about 60 surgeries and her heart has flatlined at least four times. But the most unusual doctor’s referral of her life came last year: Go see an attorney. Enriquez De Santiago sought help at a Colorado health clinic that takes a novel approach to improving the health of its patients: It incorporates legal assistance into its medical practice for patients facing eviction or deportation proceedings, among other legal woes. And the state’s Medicaid program helps fund the initiative. Although Medicaid traditionally doesn’t fund clinics to supply legal assistance, Colorado is one of several states that have been given permission to use some of their Medicaid money to help pay for such programs. Every day in Commerce City, four lawyers join the physicians, psychiatrists and social workers at Salud Family Health Centers’ clinic in this suburb north of Denver, as part of Salud’s

philosophy that mending legal ills is as important for health as diet and exercise. The goal: Reduce toxic stress and keep families intact, on the premise that it will serve their health for years to come, said Marc Scanlon, the attorney who directs the program.
Mostly, that has meant helping people with unemployment benefit claims and Social Security Disability Insurance denials. But it also regularly entails helping patients — many of whom speak only Spanish after having arrived here from Mexico or Central America — with immigration hearings. The program is among at least 450 existing medical-legal partnerships across the nation that typically serve impoverished people and migrants. The vast majority don’t rely on Medicaid dollars, which are used only in fewer than 10 states, according to the National Center for Medical-Legal Partnership. The role of these sorts of medicallegal partnerships has grown over the past year as millions of people in the U.S. have faced lost income and the threat of losing their homes during the covid-19 pandemic. Some partnerships have helped patients secure unemployment checks, while others have fought some of the evic-
tions that weren’t already barred by state or federal moratoriums. “All the issues that people are struggling with in the pandemic are all the same issues that medicallegal partnerships have been trying to work with forever,” said Vicki Girard, a law professor and co-director of the Georgetown University Health Justice Alliance in Washington, D.C. In Montana, Kallie Dale-Ramos helped persuade a primary care association, the state’s legal aid organization and six community health centers operating in cities across Montana to pool $20,000 to help hire an attorney, who can split time among the clinics to help patients affected by the pandemic. Since the start of 2020, that investment has helped more than 130 patients seek unemployment claims — and potentially stave off financial ruin. SEE CLINIC, P10

Class-action suit targets Colo. child mental health gaps Plaintiffs include hospitalized teens from Castle Rock, Northglenn BY JENNIFER BROWN THE COLORADO SUN
Colorado has lapsed on its obligation to provide mental health care for needy children, leaving them to cycle in and out of emergency rooms instead of receiving appropriate long-term care, according to a federal class-action lawsuit filed against the state Medicaid program. The lawsuit so far includes three anonymous plaintiffs, all teenagers who have for months or years been checked into hospital emergency rooms and psychiatric facilities but then were refused step-down residential treatment because no beds are available. The case is similar to major lawsuits filed in other states, including Illinois, which was forced to revamp its mental health system for children in a 2018 settlement. “Colorado needs a comprehensive mental health plan of care for these children, and there are significant gaps and missing links that need to be rectified,” said Robert Farley, the attorney handling the Colorado case who also successfully sued Illinois. “These children have legal rights to get the necessary services.” The three plaintiffs, identified only as A.A, B.B. and C.C., should have received intensive mental health services in their communities — an entitlement under federal law for children on Medicaid government insurance, according to the lawsuit. The suit, filed Sept. 3, seeks class-action status to represent other children who have not received needed treatment. The children have been unfairly “institutionalized,” it alleges. One is a 13-year-old Northglenn boy who has been hospitalized at Children’s Hospital Colorado since March because the state has refused to pay for a less-restrictive residential treatment center. The teen, who has reactive attachment disorder
and other mental health issues, remains hospitalized due to the lack of other options, according to the lawsuit. Another is a 16-year-old Castle Rock girl who has been in the emergency department at Children’s Hospital Colorado since July 31. The state has been unable to find a longterm residential program, despite looking out of state, according to the lawsuit. The teen, who is suicidal and has post-traumatic stress disorder and reactive attachment disorder, has been admitted to an emergency room 17 times because of her mental health struggles, the suit says. The child, who has busted open her head by banging it on the wall and tied sheets around her neck, has had to rely on emergency treatment while in crisis instead of receiving long-term care that would improve her mental health, according to the lawsuit. The third plaintiff is a 13-year-old Aurora girl diagnosed with major depression and an anxiety disorder who has been hospitalized three times. She’s living at home but needs to go to a residential treatment center, which the state has not provided, according to the lawsuit. Law creates entitlement Under federal law, children who qualify for Medicaid are entitled to receive medically necessary mental health services through a program called “Early and Periodic Screening, Diagnostic and Treatment Service.” The goal of the lawsuit, which names Colorado Department of Health Care Policy and Financing Executive Director Kim Bimestefer, is to force Colorado to build a better spectrum of care so that children have more options other than emergency hospitalization, Farley said in an interview with The Colorado Sun. The state Department of Health Care Policy and Financing declined to comment, noting that it is against department policy to discuss pending litigation.

One woman had been waiting for unemployment assistance since applying in March 2020, and only recently received her first check, said Dale-Ramos. Without legal help along the way, the woman “would have just been like, `I can’t do this anymore,’” Dale-Ramos said. This sort of legal-medical partnership is centered on the notion that doctors can do only so much to keep their patients healthy. Proponents See Lasting Impact Advocates for such programs cite the example of a child suffering from asthma caused by mold in a dilapidated apartment. While a doctor couldn’t force a landlord to clean up the property or break the lease, a letter from a lawyer might be persuasive, said Dr. Tillman Farley, Salud’s chief medical officer. “Some of these impacts carry out for decades,” Farley said. “And once you get into effects like that, then you’re really talking generational changes in health outcomes.” Beyond common sense, evidence from emerging research suggests the approach can work. Patients at Veterans Affairs clinics in Connecticut and New York, for example, saw their mental health improve significantly within three months of consulting a clinic attorney, according to a 2017 study in Health Affairs. And at Colorado’s partnership, a survey of patients from 2015 to 2020 found statistically significant drops
in stress and poor physical health, as well as fewer missed medical appointments among its 69 respondents, said Dr. Angela Sauaia, a professor at the Colorado School of Public Health who led the research. The possible reasons for missing fewer doctor appointments after getting the legal help, Sauaia said, included patients having more income, being less depressed and having an improved immigration status that made them less fearful to venture into public. Medical-legal partnerships should be considered part of health care, Sauaia believes. “You should be referring to them the same way a provider would be referring a patient to a specialty, such as endocrinology or surgery.” The biggest challenge for these programs is securing stable funding. Many are funded with a small amount of seed money, or by grants that run only a year or two. Medicaid, established in 1965, is a nationwide health care program for people who have low incomes or are disabled. It’s jointly funded by the federal government and each state, and traditionally has covered medical costs such as physician visits and hospital stays. In recent years, though, some states have increasingly sought to use Medicaid dollars to fund initiatives such as using social workers or offering legal assistance to address the social determinants of health. That includes North Carolina, which is using a federal waiver and hundreds of millions of dollars in a highly scrutinized effort to transform its Medicaid program. Among its strategies is more legal
aid for patients. Some Critics See Overreach by Medicaid Plans The nationwide shift has prompted some health policy experts to question whether Medicaid is beginning to run too far afield of its purpose. “Everybody agrees that social factors play a very large role in health outcomes; the question is what to do about it,” said James Capretta, a resident fellow of the American Enterprise Institute who was an associate director of the Office of Management and Budget during the George W. Bush administration. “Medicaid is already an immense program with lots of financial challenges,” Capretta noted. “The program was not built for Medicaid to pay for too many services beyond the more direct services that are related to a medical condition or a disability.” The small-scale use of waivers and supplemental Medicaid dollars to fund programs aimed at the social factors of poor health — such as housing for people with severe mental illness — works in some places, said Matt Salo, executive director of the National Association of Medicaid Directors. But for Medicaid to provide widespread funding for such social service programs would be unsustainable, and shouldn’t happen, he said. “It is not — and should not be — Medicaid’s responsibility to figure out how to pay for it,” he said. Some advocates for legal assistance programs and health policy experts worry about a potential public backlash based on misper-

The lawsuit comes at a pivotal time for Colorado, where suicide is the leading cause of death for young people and Children’s Hospital Colorado recently sent up a flare for legislative help because its emergency room is crowded with suicidal and depressed kids and teens. About 2,300 children received intensive community-based services through the state Medicaid department’s Children’s Extensive Support Waiver program, but in order to qualify, children must have an intellectual or developmental disability. Similarly, 163 children received services through the state’s Children’s Residential Program, but to qualify, children had to have a diagnosed intellectual disability. The system is discriminatory, Farley alleged, when only certain children can qualify for residential care. Farley initiated the lawsuit after receiving various calls for help from families in Colorado, he said. “You just can’t flip a switch overnight and create a mental health system for children,” Farley said, explaining that any changes ahead for Colorado are likely to take years.
for step-down programs, such as day treatment or residential centers, are “slim to none,” Farley said, so the child goes home until the next emergency rush to a psychiatric facility. The situation gets so dire that some families eventually refuse to take their children home, which results in the hospital calling child welfare authorities. Under the custody of the child protection division, children receive placement in a residential treatment facility. “It gets to the point where families become desperate,” Farley said. “They don’t see hope. They don’t see progress. They get to the point where we have to do something.” Farley said he knows many kids, not just his 16-year-old Colorado client, who have had more than a dozen visits to the emergency room for psychiatric problems. “That’s not an unusual situation,” he said. “It’s not just somebody falling through the cracks. If you’ve had to go to the emergency room 17 times, something is not working.” In some cases, children are adopted from the foster care system and have severe mental disorders related to early childhood trauma, Farley said. Their adoptive parents struggle to get them help, despite having Medicaid coverage.
Some families are desperate In many states, mental health treatment for children is so inadequate that families get to the point that the only safe place they can find for their child is a psychiatric hospital, he said. Each time their child is stabilized and released, the options

ceptions about how the little-known medical-legal partnerships use Medicaid. For one, the programs generally aren’t reimbursed for services in the same way traditional Medicaid programs are, said Sara Rosenbaum, a health law and policy professor at George Washington University. Medicaid is more of “an indirect funder,” she said. A 2019 Manatt Health Strategies report on funding for medical-legal partnerships said “the time is ripe” for these partnerships to explore the little-used avenues available in Medicaid. The states that administer the Medicaid programs and the managed care organizations that contract with them have some discretion to fund non-clinical services that improve access or outcomes for social determinants of health, according to the report. States also can write the medicalleaderships programs into a larger federal waiver application for experimental, pilot or demonstration projects that promote Medicaid’s objectives. “The dollars are minimal,” said Ellen Lawton, former director of the National Center for MedicalLegal Partnership, and a senior fellow at HealthBegins, a consulting firm. “And I think what we’re seeing is that — appropriately — the Medicaid programs are pacing themselves. They’re looking to see what works — what works in our state, what works in our region, what works with the populations that we’re focused on.” States have been creative in

Big Boy comes roaring back Union Pacific massive 1941 steam locomotive on tour BY BELEN WARD BWARD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Union Pacific’s No. 4014, the Big Boy, came roaring, blasting its steam trumpet and smoke blowing out of its stack on its annual tour through Brighton and Fort Lupton Aug. 7. Brighton and Fort Lupton residents were up early along the tracks to see the Big Boy in action. Brighton’s Dee Dee Lewis and her son have ridden every train in Colorado. Her son, who has a love for trains, had to work, so she came in his place, hoping to get a good photo. “I’m excited to see Big Boy in motion. I missed it last time when it was in Denver,” said Lewis. According to Union Pacific, 25 Big Boy steam locomotives were built for Union Pacific in 1941, weighing 1.2 million pounds and measuring 132 feet long. Because of its length, it was built with movable parts such as a hinge so it can move easily around curves. Its locomotive was built with a “4-8-8-4” wheel set up. Four wheels support the pilot that guides the engine, eight drivers, another set of eight drivers, and four wheels that support the rear of the locomotive. The gigantic engine traveled through rough terrain between Ogden, Utah, and Wyoming in its heyday. The train was wrapping its Midwest

tour, leaving downtown Denver at about 8 a.m. Sept. 7, according to the company, and traveling to its final destination in Cheyenne later in the day, with stops in La Salle and Greeley along the way. David Masten came to see Big Boy, one of his favorite engines. “I have not seen the Big Boy moving, and that’s why Big Boy is my favorite engine, “ said Masten. Around the country, there are seven Big Boys on public display in
St. Louis, Missouri, Dallas, Texas, Omaha, Nebraska, Denver, Scranton, Pennsylvania, Green Bay, Wisconsin, and Cheyenne, Wyoming. Big Boy No. 4014 traveled about a million miles in 20 years of its service and retired in December 1961 at the Rail Giants Museum in Pomona, California. Union Pacific inherited it and relocated it back to Cheyenne for years of major restoration. They brought it back to the tracks in May 2019 to celebrate the 150th anniversa-
ry of the Transcontinental Railroad’s completion -- May 10 1869. Since 2019, Big Boy No. 4014 and Living Legend No. 844 have been touring the tracks of towns and cities celebrating the Transcontinental Railroad’s completion. But the Big Boy is the world’s only operating locomotive of its size, according to Union Pacific. “I’ve never seen the locomotive engine myself, not outside the movies. It’s exciting to see it, “ said Jarett Bieker.

Splits: Douglas County pursues its own health policies Well, it finally happened. Conservative Douglas County decided to call it quits with Tri-County Health Department. The public health agency has been the county health agency for Adams, Arapahoe and Douglas Counties for 55 years. In part, the thought had been that there were savings to be realized by combining the three counties into a single public health agency. I believe that principle still exists. Over time, the Douglas County Commissioners groused about one thing and then another on policies concerning various health issues. The final straw was Tri-County’s Board’s reversal on an earlier policy they had made allowing counties an “opt-out” provision on mandating masks for all school children when inside. You may recall that Adams County Commissioners opted out on a 3-2 vote themselves, the school districts under the bus. Remember
Bill Christopher
It was inevitable Now Douglas County has 90 days to gear up and create their own county health department probably somewhat like the Jefferson County Health Department. The commissioners will hire a full-time executive director and have tighter reins on what public health policy will look like in their county. I would suggest that their departure from Tri-County was inevitable. What made sense decades ago,
LETTER TO THE EDITOR Be honest Bruce Baker (letters, Sept. 9) exhorts the Westminster Window to be responsible for telling the truth about city matters. Given that it had probably never occurred to the newspaper staff to conduct themselves differently, Mr. Baker follows his entreaty by displaying how little he understands about city finances. He seems to believe that the Westminster city government has some $173 million lying around waiting to find a use. Indeed, the city has a deep pool of cash available to it, but it is practically all assigned or earmarked for specific planned utility maintenance projects— you know so that when large expenditures are needed, such as upgrading the sewer infrastructure, city staff don’t have to find benefactors or lenders to finance it at substantial rates of interest. Mr. Baker also thinks we are in no danger of running short of water in Westminster, disregarding the facts that climate disruption is impacting this area with more water stress each year, the West
also that the Dougco School District Board mandated masks for all students on August 23. So, it appears Douglas County’s elected officials aren’t seeing eye to eye on the student’s mask mandate.

would not necessarily mean it was a good fit today. Certainly, we have observed Douglas County politics growing conservative and in conflict with Tri-County’s Board of Directors and Executive Director. I am glad that I don’t live in Douglas County and they probably wouldn’t want me to do so. I favor masks for all school students inside buildings. It’s a positive tool in helping manage the spread of the Delta virus where students are together for several hours daily in confined spaces with many not vaccinated. So long Douglas County.

Decaffeinate and de-escalate
n any given day I will usually have one or two cups of coffee in the morning. On those days where I have three or four, I feel a very WINNING palpable difference WORDS … I am wired. I also notice that I am a bit more anxious and a lot more impatient. For me, I cannot drink coffee at night for this very reason. I would be up all night. We all respond differently to caffeine, some Michael Norton get wired like I do, and others can drink coffee all day without losing the ability to fall asleep at night. As I look around at what is happening in our country and around the world, I feel like maybe, just maybe there are way too many over-caffeinated people out there. Violent crimes, verbal attacks, road rage, stadium brawls, random acts of violence and other assaults on humanity are occurring with greater frequency, and in some cases, an all-time high. I am not a clinical expert, but anxiousness, fear, doubt and worry seem to be at an all-time high as well. It’s like we are going to our favorite coffee shop asking for a double shot of impatience with extra anxiety. Or we are making our own coffee at home, maybe the double espresso anger brew
with some steamed “Hurray for me and the heck with you” creamer. And that’s just the coffee version. For others it may be the caffeinated soda we drink or the highly caffeinated beverages we consume. Would we like a large or super-size cup of revenge with that burger and fries? And if we really need a jolt, maybe we pick up a shot of the five-hour hostility, you know that little bottle with a kick in it. What could possibly be going on at a baseball game that could stir such hatred amongst the fans? And are we talking about the fans at the World Series, or parents at a Little League baseball game? Are we coming together to enjoy the great American pastime, “baseball, hot dogs and animosity pie?” I am not sure about you, but I am seeing more and more road rage on our streets. Offended drivers attacking one another, flipping each other off, riding so close on the other one’s bumper to try an intimidate them. It’s like they look down and see that their bitterness tank is full, and they feel compelled to try and empty it. Wouldn’t it be better to attend a game and get an order of nachos with a side of jalapenos and good sportsmanship? Or perhaps drive-thru at our favorite coffee house and ask for an iced latte with a double shot of kindness. Maybe we can look down at the gauges on our dashboard and see that our gentleness needle is right where it
is supposed to be as we just let others drive on by, even letting them get in front of us. Did you ever notice that when you scream or yell or threaten others that they now pay attention to you? No, of course you haven’t because that never happens. What does happen is that the other person usually does one of two things, they shut down or they stand up and fight back. And in either case, nothing gets resolved. Instead, there is just lots of shoving, pushing, namecalling, brain damage and heartache. Look, caffeine is certainly not the problem, it was simply used for illustrative purposes. But we are acting out in ways that would suggest that we could all use a little decaf right now. A super-size decaf with two packets of “I love you” and some extra forgiveness while we refuel our hearts with understanding and patience. Isn’t it time to pause and take a bit of the edge off? Are we sweating the small stuff, the big stuff and everything in between? I would love to hear your thoughts and your story at mnorton@tramazing.com, and remember that when we decaffeinate, we are more likely to deescalate, and then it really will be a better than good year. 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.

Key personnel are moving on at City Hall What is going on at Westminster City Hall? You would have thought there was a bomb scare or a terrible odor! Key staff has been exiting at an alarming pace. In no specific order, Jason Genck, Director of Parks, Recreation and Libraries left on short notice to take a consulting job in the private sector. Highprofile City Clerk Michelle Parker announced before the Labor Day weekend that she was leaving. John Hall, who headed up Economic Development and was well-known among his peers statewide, opted to cross over to the City and County of Broomfield in a similar position. Jenni Grafton, No. 2 in the same department, chose to call it quits in Westminster to join Adams County in their economic development endeavors. Probably the best known and most liked who have left the city is Gregg Moss. He was hired to head up the Communications Division and ultimately also worked on the Innovations section. Then there is the mysterious situation with Police Chief Tim Carlson and one of his Deputy Chiefs, Todd Reeves, who were both placed on paid administrative leave.

Impacts of key personnel leaving the city All seven of these well-paid, responsible managerial/supervisory positions currently have “Acting” or “Interim” personnel filling the positions or are vacant. This does not bode well for the city administration. Having such key personnel all leave in a matter of months sends up a smoke signal. Something is happening on the inside. Plus, it affects decision-making and continuity. I do know that employee morale is low. However, if you ask, you are likely to be given a smile with a “things are fine” response. Employees are skittish and worry about their jobs. There is a lot of looking over the shoulder and cautious responses to citizens, developers and others who interact with city employees. One employee - a medium-term employee who I trust - told me that promotions and hiring reflect a “good ole boys’ club” mentality. There is an air of uncertainty and people aren’t sure what to expect. The optics have raised eyebrows In the case of the City Clerk position, City Manager Don Tripp has named Abby Fitch Interim City Clerk. This has raised eyebrows in the community and some at City Hall. Most people don’t know that Ms. Fitch is married to former City Council member Alberto Garcia to incentivize some residents to moderate their water usage, he takes a leap of reasoning that an Olympic long jumper could never match when he implies that this is less a price signal than an invitation to developers to construct 33,000 homes in Westminster.

who has been playing a key role in current Mayor Anita Seitz mayoral campaign. All I am saying is that the optics on Tripp’s selection has caused some consternation. Other personnel in the City Clerk’s Office have more experience than Fitch. A step in the wrong direction in Colorado In this era of public entities and their elected leaders saying they want to provide transparency, inclusivity and try to build trust with the public, Colorado took a step backward last week thanks to a Colorado Supreme Court decision. The high court denied a petition by the Daily Camera Newspaper on its lawsuit against the University of Colorado on whether candidates interviewed during the 2019 search for system president were finalists whose names were required to be public. This goes back to when C.U. President Bruce Benson was retiring and the Board of Regents was pursuing a replacement. Colorado high court and state legislature took a step backward The Daily Camera had argued from the start of the lawsuit that the state’s Open Meetings Law required the Regents to name multiple finalists. The trial court sided with HENRY
the newspaper in March 2020 while the Colorado Court of Appeals overturned the ruling in March 2021. Earlier this year, the state legislature passed legislation whereby public entities like C.U. are only required to name a single finalist in chief executive searches. Both the high court and the state legislature have reduced transparency, inclusivity and trust between public entities and the public regarding screening and hiring a city manager, superintendent of schools, county administrator, general manager, chief executive and so on. This is a step in the wrong direction folks. So, in the future when such openings as these are announced to become vacant and a search for a replacement is announced, don’t go saying your organization is open, transparent and lots of sunshine comes shining in unless you announce who the top candidates are who are to be interviewed. In other words, the public expects you to “walk the talk.” Bill Christopher is a former Westminster city manager and RTD board member.

Lloyd Calvin Howell passed away on Friday, July 23, 2021 in Casa Grande, Arizona at the age of 90. Born August 19, 1930 in Cozad, Nebraska to Calvin and Rose Howell. Lloyd grew up in Cozad, graduated from Cozad High School, and then served in the US Navy for 4 years. Following his service in the Navy, Lloyd married Merna Rose Cover in Cozad, Nebraska on October 6, 1956. Lloyd and Merna then moved to Colorado, where Lloyd worked for the Public Service Company of Colorado until his retirement. They had three children; Rory, Dan, and Laura. Lloyd was preceded in death by his parents Calvin and Rose; by sisters Donna Belle (Rodine), June (Woehrle), Shari (Bartes), Marlene (Sherman), Kay (Zimmerman), Norma Jean (Baker), Jeannie, and Barbara (Anderson); and by brothers John and Ronald. He is survived by his wife Merna, children Rory, Dan, and Laura, and by brothers Jim, Marv,
Terry, and Gary. Also surviving Lloyd are grandchildren Amber, Chris, Brian, Regina, Hiram, and Logan, great-grandchildren Zven, Annika, Brooklyn, Gavin, and Alexander, and numerous nieces and nephews. Lloyd lived in Northglenn, Colorado until his retirement, and then spent winters in Florida and Arizona, and summers in, Colorado. Lloyd loved the outdoors and sports, and passed that love on to his children and grandchildren. He spent many weekends and vacations fishing, camping, and hiking with family and friends. He loved playing cards, and many late nights were spent playing cards. Lloyd loved playing with his children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, and always tried to go to any activity they had. Until age and illness caught up with him the last few years of his life, Lloyd was active and walked and hiked countless miles. A celebration of life will be planned at a later time.

Pandemic, concerns about sustainability shape style trends BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
M
omentous events are often a force in shaping fashion trends and industry standards. Locally, Denver metro area fashion gurus say they are seeing new trends amid the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, and as environmental sustainability is increasingly grabbing consumers’ attention. A resurgence of ‘90s style, and retro vibes. Sparkles and sequins. Bold colors, and patterns galore. Also, an emphasis on individual style rather than fitting in a box, body positivity and sustainable fashion. Genesis Gomez, a Westminster-based model, like many accrued a collection of loungewear when the pandemic first struck. “I had my daytime pajamas, and my nighttime pajamas,” she said. “I have a whole slipper collection now.” More recently, she switches it up. Some days she’s back to wearing professional clothing — a blazer and nice shirt — but not every day. With a longtime penchant for ‘70s style, Gomez is also embracing that trend lately, throwing on oversized sunglasses and bellbottom jeans, styled with a sleek middle part and natural makeup. “Embracing the oranges, greens, blues, tie-dye,” she said. “I’m big on the ‘70s look these days.” Interviewed as the model prepared to walk shows in New York Fashion Week, Sept. 8-12, she said she was most heartened to see people focusing on being themselves,. “I think that that is truly beautiful, how we are kind of coming into a world where people are just really embracing what fits them best,” she said.

Vail Film Festival ready for a bigger, bolder 2021 COMING ATTRACTIONS
Clarke Reader
D
oing something for the first time is always a fraught process, but you often come away with all kinds of beneficial lessons that can make it smoother next time. Such is the case for the Vail Film Festival, which was an early adopter of the all-virtual film festival approach in May 2020. And as the event prepares for a second virtual event, organizers are ready for a bigger and bolder event. “Last year we had to do a quick turnaround and worked with a new platform to create an online viewing experience,” said Corinne Hara, festival director. “Knowing the platform like we do makes
this year’s festival much easier, but understanding how people watch online with all the flexibility it provides is the big change.” The 18th annual Vail Film Festival runs from Thursday, Sept. 23 through Sunday, Sept. 26. Films will be streaming on Eventive’s virtual platform, which allows viewers to view their selected films on Roku, AppleTV or their computer or mobile device. This year’s event continues the organization’s mission of fostering “independent film through film screenings, panels, workshops, networking events and educational projects,” with a particu-
lar focus on female filmmakers. With 80 films available to view, this is the festival’s most international lineup yet, with entries coming in from all over the world, including New Zealand, Japan and Brazil. “If you think of creativity, so often it’s fueled by personal strife and triumph. This year we’ve had some incredible submissions because I think the pandemic allowed people more time to be creative,” Hara said. “As people have become more comfortable with virtual content, that has encouraged more submissions from around the world.” SEE READER, P15

She’s studied fashion history and worked in the industry for 10 years. “I feel like everybody has had just a rough time and kind of got lost,” Crazybear said of the pandemic. “Now everybody is kind of emerging.” She’s watching her two teenage daughters join the revival of ‘90s trends, picking up styles she once wore herself, she said, and mixing in goth and urban streetwear inspiration too. “I think the ‘90s were just a fun, funky time of freedom of expression for people,” she said.

mesh multiple styles, not just settling for one. Dressing up also helps a person feel good, she said, complimenting Colorado designers for creating designs that empower people of diverse backgrounds and needs. Darlene C. Ritz is the Denverbased fashion designer behind DCR Studios. She has a doctorate in education and a passion for designing for every body type. For several years there has been a shift away from homogenous trends throughout society toward more individual expression, she said, and the pandemic’s onset expedited that. People were home more, browsing the internet, on their phones and online shopping. For many, shopping became a pastime. Anything they wanted was available with the click of a button, and so too was fashion information, she said.
That’s helped lead to consumers becoming more educated, and as a result making a return to slow fashion and sustainable fashion, she said. They’re deciding to waste less, as are designers. They are purchasing higher-quality items in order to keep them longer, instead of throwing items away after little use. Ritz took her collection to New York Fashion Week, where she also focused on less waste and including all body types and genders. She gathered inspiration on a trip to Mexico, taking in the many colors, and on a trip to Las Vegas, where she saw an exhibit that featured a phoenix. Rising from the ashes plays a theme in here collection, she said, as are a flourish of prints. “Fashion is a celebration, and we are seeing that people are coming out of this wanting to celebrate,” Ritz said.

Denver Art Museum’s Martin Building reopens after $150M project Tickets to the renovated north campus available Sept. 17 BY MAGGIE DONAHUE DENVERITE
For more than three years, the north side of the Denver Art Museum campus has been closed for renovation. But soon, just in time for what is now known as the Lanny and Sharon Martin Building’s 50th anniversary, visitors will finally get to see inside the eight-floor structure designed by Gio Ponti, as well as the new Anna and John J. Sie Welcome Center. The reimagined campus will reopen to the public with a free admission day on Oct. 24. The newly restored Martin Building offers 33,328 square feet of new gallery and public space, educational programming, artist interactions, expanded outdoor spaces, and sweeping views of the city and mountains. It also features the new Jana & Fred Bartlit Learning and Engagement Center, which offers more than 17,600 square feet of programming space, workshop rooms, community galleries and interactive gathering spaces, including activations by artists Frankie Toan and Moe Gram. The 50,000-square-foot Welcome Center, which connects the Martin Building to the museum’s Frederic C. Hamilton Building to the south,

will offer ticketing guest services, programming spaces, an art conservation and technical studies laboratory, and two new dining spaces, including the quick-service Café Gio and the Ponti Restaurant, which features a locally sourced menu by James Beard Award-winning Denver chef Jennifer Jasinski “We are looking forward to being open for creativity, joy and wonder – welcoming our community into new, dynamic spaces this fall, to explore art, world cultures and their own creativity,” museum director Christoph Heinrich said in a press release. Press materials also say that as part of the Martin Building’s redesign, its galleries have been updated with a commitment to inclusion. Some of those initiatives include highlighting more contemporary and community artists, as well as including bilingual art labels in both English and Spanish throughout the entire museum campus. Some of the updated or new collection galleries include the Northwest Coast and Alaska Native galleries, Indigenous Arts of North America galleries, Latin American Art and Art of the Ancient Americas galleries, Asian Art galleries, European Art Before 1800, Textile Art and Fashion and Photography galleries, and Western American Art galleries. The first floor of the Martin Building, which once was used primarily as art storage, will operate as the 6,500-square-foot Bonfils-Stanton

Foundation Gallery. The space will open with “ReVisión: Art in the Americas,” an exhibition highlighting about 180 works from the DAM’s Latin American and Art of the Ancient Americas collections. The renovations cost $150 million to build. Denver Art Museum Board Chairman Lanny Martin and his wife Sharon Martin, for whom the Martin Building is named, contributed the first $25 million. Voterapproved Elevate Denver Bonds covered an additional $35.5 million, and the museum helped cover the rest by matching public investment dollars at a three-to-one ratio. The renovated campus will reopen
to the public Oct. 24 with an opening day celebration from 10 a.m.-5 p.m. While it’s free to attend, guests must reserve tickets, which will be available starting Sept. 17. And if you’re a member and you want to check out the campus early, you can attend a Member Preview on Oct. 21, 22 or 23.

Arellano captures Heartland Emmy BY STEVE SMITH SSMITH@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
RN/LPN
A view of construction in 2018 of the Anna and John J. Sie Welcome Center at the Denver Art Museum, with the Lanny and Sharon Martin Building in the background.
If you watch KCEC, the Univisionowned television station in Denver, chances are you might have seen Juan Arellano’s name in the list of credits. The Fort Lupton High School graduate is a photo editor there. If you watched KCEC’s news story, “Llego La Migra,” then the chances are you saw award-winning work from Arellano and reporter Carlos Moreno. The pair’s effort on that piece won a Heartland Emmy Award for Best Hard News report. Each region of the country has a Heartland Emmy competition. Arellano’s area covers Colorado, Nebraska, Wyoming, Kansas and Oklahoma. Each TV outlet can submit its best work for the year. Arellano had just finished three weeks of training when this story landed on the desk. “It happened in November,” Arellano said. “This family called the reporter because ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) raided the house and took the father. The reporter talked with the family about the situation. He was there when it happened.” Arellano said Moreno has an extended family, both locally and across the country. “He’s been here for two years, but he has a lot of followers,” Arellano
said. “One of them called him and said, ‘This is happening. You should come.’ We covered it when ICE took the dad. Carlos was trying to help the family by reaching out to ICE, whether there was any chance the father could come out. “Those types of stories? You try to reach out and help the community,” Arellano continued. “It’s also an example for other people in the community to be more careful so people know their rights when ICE gets to their house.” Arellano’s shift didn’t start until later the day of the raid. “The reporter writes the story, gets the interviews. I’m the one who edits it,” Arellano said. “I make sure that everything is good for a live show. That’s what I did for that story.” Arellano played soccer for the Bluedevils. “When I found out about it, I was excited,” he said. “I was at a (Colorado) Rapids game against San Jose. I was covering that for Univision. The reporter, Carlos, he called me, and he was like, ‘We just won the Emmy for this story.’ He was excited. I was excited, too. But I told him, ‘I’ll call you later. I’m over here working.’” Before returning to Denver, Arellano did some on-camera work in Oklahoma City. Soccer was his main interest, but he also had the chance to cover the college football rivalry game between Oklahoma and Texas in the Cotton Bowl.

“With covering sports, I was more comfortable with that. I grew up playing sports, watching sports,” Arellano said. “I know the games, so I enjoy it better. With covering news, sometimes it’s hard to get peoples’ opinions on things that are going on. Last year, with all the political stuff, we had to get peoples’ reactions. That’s harder. People are afraid to give their opinion or think that somebody’s watching, or ‘I don’t want to be on camera.’ Arellano enjoys his time behind the camera. “I’m a photography editor. But SEE EMMY, P18

New mural brings dose of color to Dinosaur Ridge Life-sized ‘geometric sculpture’ also planned BY PAUL ALBANI-BURGIO PALBANIBURGIO@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Morrison’s Dinosaur Ridge has long provided a unique chance to see the footprints left by dinosaurs. But starting now, visitors will also get a fresh perspective of what it might have been like to see dinosaurs walk across the area’s prehistoric landscape. That perspective will come via a new mural covering two sides of the facility’s ticket booth at its visitor center, which depicts three dinosaurs walking across the mudflats that once characterized the area. The dinosaurs depicted include a large stegosaurus, the first skeleton of which was discovered at Dinosaur Ridge, and two long-necked apatosaurus. Artist Julia Williams said she was also planning to draw several tracks in the mud flat to reflect the fossilized footprints that can be seen at the site. Painting the mural has been “a perfect opportunity” for Williams, who goes by the artist name “The Designosaur” and has painted several murals around the Denver area, including a

One of Kidd’s trademarks is super bright colors. The Dinosaur Ridge mural, which has a color scheme consisting of bright purple, red, orange and yellow, is no exception. “I think it’s super warm and inviting and fun,” she

said. “I wanted to bring some sort of color to this area.” The mural isn’t the only new piece of artwork coming to Dinosaur Ridge. In a press release announcing the new mural, Williams explained that Golden-based artists Pat Madison and Jim Dickson will also soon be partnering on a new piece for the facility called “Eolambia.” The release describes that piece as a life-sized geometric sculpture of a plant-

Williams said the Friends of Dinosaur Ridge paid for both projects out of its budget, “We love that there are local artists who feature dinosaurs in their work — it just feels like a great fit with our vision of providing a place that not only educates visitors but sparks wonder and imagination,” Williams said. Dinosaur Ridge is also hoping to do more fun dinosaur art projects soon, she said.

Littleton’s Brycen Mhlanga (33), gains significant yardage against Thornton at Adams 12 Five Star Stadium Sept. 10. The Trojans celebrated homecoming with a 40-18 win over the Lions. THS quarterback Isaiah Reece threw for 263 yards and three touchdowns. No stats were available for Littleton.

Westminster’s Hatz returns from Paralympics with three top-10 finishes
Beatriz Hatz

COURTESY PHOTO
Beatriz Hatz finished the busy part of her summer in a foreign land. The Westminster resident was among the athletes who participated in the Paralympic Games in Tokyo. She took sixth in the 100-meter dash, sixth in the 200-meters and fifth in the long jump. “I definitely would’ve loved to have been on that podium,” she said. “But at the same time, these are my first games, and I can’t be too disappointed in my results.” Thanks to COVID-19 and its restrictions, Hatz and the other ath-
letes were not able to support other USA teams – “just our own.” “We were not able to leave the village so we didn’t get to experience Japan as much as we would like,” Hatz said. “But the volunteers really made the experience amazing. We weren’t able to leave the village other than to go to the stadium. “The volunteers were always very happy, extremely helpful and sweet,” she added. “Whenever we would go drop off our laundry, they would give us origami cranes that they made. They also were very nice when I tried to speak to them in Japanese. They would help me out and teach me new words.” Hatz didn’t hang out with other
athletes from other countries either. “I did not want to risk getting COVID during competition,” she said. “I stayed with my friends from the track and field team for USA.” Hatz graduated from D’Evelyn Junior/Senior High School in 2019. She was born without a fibula in her right leg. Doctors amputated the leg below the knee. Her training is underway for the next Paralympics. “Thank you to everyone in Japan who made my first Paralympic experience one to remember,” Hatz said. “I’ve got some work to do, but it shows me where I stand in the world. “And I’ve got three years till the next games.”

City and County Public Notice BY AUTHORITY ORDINANCE NO. 4089 COUNCILLOR'S BILL NO. 32 SERIES OF 2021 INTRODUCED BY COUNCILLORS Skulley, Voelz A BILL FOR AN ORDINANCE SUBMITTING TO THE REGISTERED ELECTORS OF THE CITY OF WESTMINSTER AT THE COORDINATED ELECTION TO BE HELD ON TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 2nd, 2021, A MEASURE AMENDING CERTAIN PROVISIONS OF THE CHARTER OF THE CITY OF WESTMINSTER REGARDING ELECTION DEADLINES AND BACKGROUND CHECKS FOR ELECTED AND APPOINTED OFFICERS IN ORDER TO BRING THESE SECTIONS INTO COMPLIANCE WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF STATE AND FEDERAL LAW INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE UNIFORM MILITARY AND OVERSEAS VOTERS ACT WHEREAS, it is necessary and appropriate that the City Council review the City's Charter from time to time to assure that its provisions are consistent with the contemporary needs of the City and the current legal requirements of the laws of the State of Colorado and the United States of America; and WHEREAS, as currently written, the Charter provides that a City Council member may be sworn
legals@coloradocommunitymedia.com
in to office before final certification of results of the election in which they were elected to office, creating the possibility that such a person could have to be removed from office following certification of different results; and WHEREAS, as currently written, several election deadlines in the City Charter are not practically compatible with the time requirements set forth in the State of Colorado Uniform Military Overseas Voters Act, and the Federal Uniformed Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act; and WHEREAS, as currently written, recall elections only merge with general or special elections if within 90 days, which is impractical with the changed election deadlines proposed in the amendments; and WHEREAS, as currently written, the Westminster Police Department is required to conduct background checks on candidates for elected and appointed office, which the Westminster Police Department is unable to do so due to Colorado Bureau of Investigations and NCIC policies and requirements; and WHEREAS, many locations in the City Charter use masculine pronouns where gender neutral pronouns would be more appropriate; and WHEREAS, pursuant to the terms of the Colorado Constitution, Article XX, § 9, the Charter of the City of Westminster, § 17.11 and § 31-2-210, C.R.S., the City Council has identified and determined that the proposed amendments to the City's Charter as set forth herein below shall be submitted to a vote of the City's registered electors at the special City election conducted as a coordinated election with Adams and Jefferson counties as part of the state general election to be held on November 2, 2021. THE CITY OF WESTMINSTER ORDAINS: Section 1. At the election to be held on November 2, 2021, there shall be submitted to the registered electors of the City the following question: QUESTION #1: Shall the Westminster City Charter, Subsection (d) of Section 3.2 entitled Elective Officers and Terms of Office, Section 3.5 entitled Special Elections, Section 3.18 entitled Recall, be amended to bring these sections into compliance with the requirements of state and federal law, including specifying that an elected officer shall be sworn in after certification of the results of the election, extending election deadlines to allow sufficient time for compliance with the State of Colorado Uniform Military Overseas Voters Act, and the Federal Uniformed Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act, and merging recall elections with general and special elections if within 120 days? _____________ FOR _______________ AGAINST ACTUAL WORDING OF THE PROPOSED AMENDMENT: Section 3.2. - Elective Officers and Terms of Office. […] (d) The terms of office of Councillors and the Mayor shall commence at 8:00 p.m. on the Monday next following the CERTIFICATION BY THE COUNTIES AND THE STATE OF THE RESULTS OF THE (regular city strike through) election at which they are elected. Section 3.5. - Special Elections. Special City elections shall be held when called by resolution of the Council at least NINETY (90) (forty (40) strike-through) days in advance of such election, or when required by this Charter or statute. Any resolution calling a special election shall set forth the purpose of such election. Section 3.18. - Recall. Any incumbent of an elective office may be removed from office by the qualified electors of the City after he has held office for six (6) months. A petition demanding the recall of the officer sought to be removed and signed by registered electors equal in number to twenty-five (25) percent of all votes cast for all the candidates for that particular office at the last preceding regular election, to conform with Article XXI of the Constitution, shall be addressed to the Council and delivered to the City Clerk not more than sixty (60) days after the affidavit making charges against said officer has been filed. Such petition shall meet the requirements of this Charter and the duly adopted Code of the City. Each registered elector signing the petition shall print his name, the date, his home address and County designation after his signature. Said petition may be in sections of one (1) or more sheets fastened securely at the top, and upon each section of the petition shall be written or printed a copy of the charges previously filed with the City Clerk. To each petition section there shall be attached a sworn affidavit by the circulator thereof, stating the number of signers thereof and that each signature thereon is the genuine signature of the person whose name it purports to be, and that each signature was made in the presence of the affiant. All sections of the petition shall be filed as one (1) instrument, with the endorsement of the names of three (3) persons designated as filing the same. Provided, however, that prior to the filing of any recall petition one (1) or more registered electors shall file with the City Clerk an affidavit of not more than two hundred (200) words stating the reasons for the recall of the officer sought to be removed. The City Clerk shall, within forty-eight (48) hours after the filing of said affidavit, mail a
copy by registered mail to the officer sought to be recalled, who may file with the City Clerk a sworn statement of not more than three hundred (300) words in defense of charges made against him. Within fifteen (15) days of the filing of said petition the City Clerk shall ascertain by examination of the petition and the registration books whether the petition is signed by the requisite number of registered electors and shall attach thereto his certificate showing the result of such examination. If the petition is insufficient he shall forthwith, in writing, notify one (1) or more of the persons designated on the petition as filing the same. The petition may be withdrawn and amended within fifteen (15) days from the filing of the certificate. The City Clerk, within five (5) days after such amendment, shall make like examination of the amended petition and attach thereto his certificate of the result. If the petition is still insufficient, he shall return it to one (1) of the persons designated thereon as filing it, without prejudice to the filing of a new petition for the same person. If the petition or amended petition is found sufficient, the City Clerk shall submit the same with his certificate to the Council without delay and the Council, if the officer sought to be removed does not resign within (5) days thereafter, shall order an election. Such election shall be held on a Tuesday fixed by the Council not less than NINETY (90) (forty-five (45) nor more than sixty (60) days strike through) from the date that the COUNCIL ORDERS SUCH ELECTION (City Clerk's said certificate was filed strike through); provided that, if any other City election is to occur within ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY (120) ninety (90) days from the date THAT THE COUNCIL IS TO ORDER SUCH ELECTION (of the City Clerk's certificate strike through), the Council shall postpone and consolidate the recall election with such other City elections. There shall be printed on the official ballot, as to every officer whose recall is to be voted on, the words: "Shall (name of person against whom the recall petition is filed) be recalled from the office of (.....)?" Following such question shall be the words "Yes" and "No." On such ballots, under the question, there shall be printed the names of those persons who have been nominated as candidates to succeed the person sought to be recalled. Any qualified elector desiring to become a candidate at the recall election shall do so by petition as required by Sections 3.1 and 5.1 hereof, which petition if presented to the City Clerk shall entitle him to have his name placed on the ballot. The name of the person against whom the petition is filed shall not appear on the ballot as a candidate for the office. If the majority of those voting on said question of the recall of any incumbent from office shall vote "NO", said incumbent shall continue in said office; if a majority shall vote "YES", such incumbent shall thereupon be deemed removed from such office upon the qualification of his successor. If a vacancy occurs in said office after a recall election has been ordered, the election to fill the vacancy shall nevertheless proceed as in this article provided. No person who has been recalled or has resigned while recall proceedings were pending against him shall serve the City in any capacity within two (2) years after such removal or resignation. No person shall receive any compensation whatsoever for canvassing for signatures to a petition for recall of any official. Section 2. At the election to be held on November 2, 2021, there shall be submitted to the registered electors of the City the following question: QUESTION #2: Shall the Westminster City Charter, Subsection (d) of Section 5.1 entitled Eligibility for Office and Employment in City, be amended to provide for background checks by third-parties approved by the Westminster Police Department, in addition to the Westminster Police Department itself, in order to bring the charter into compliance with Colorado Bureau of Investigations and NCIC policies and requirements which prevent the City of Westminster Police Department from conducting such checks?

Use of exchange water: All municipal uses associated with the City of Westminster’s Municipal Water Supply System including, but not limited to, municipal, irrigation, domestic, commercial, industrial, recreational, exchange, replacement, and augmentation purposes. To the extent water provided as a substitute supply is fully consumable, any water diverted into Westminster's system by exchange shall carry identical rights of use, reuse, and successive use, and may be fully consumed. 6. Source of water diverted by exchange: Clear Creek, Ralston Creek, and Van Bibber Creek. C. West Gravel Lakes Exchange: 1. In substitution for water stored in the West Gravel Lakes that is: (i) released to the South Platte River, or (ii) booked over into the City of Thornton’s storage account in the West Gravel Lakes, or (iii) pumped from the West Gravel Lakes into the Lower Clear Creek Ditch, water shall be diverted by exchange at the following structures: a. Kershaw Ditch, located as described in Paragraph 2.G, above, for storage in Jim Baker Reservoir. b. Manhart Ditch, located as described in Paragraph 2.H, above, for storage in Jim Baker Reservoir. c. Croke Canal, located as described in Paragraph 2.J, above, for storage in Standley Lake and/or delivery into the Westminster Municipal Water Supply System, and/or municipal uses directly from the Croke Canal. d. Farmers’ High Line Canal, located as described in Paragraph 2.K, above, for storage in Standley Lake and/or delivery into the Westminster Municipal Water Supply System, and/or municipal uses directly from the Farmers’ High Line Canal. e. The Church Ditch, located as described in Paragraph 2.L, above, for storage in Standley Lake and/or delivery into the Westminster Municipal Water Supply System, and/or municipal uses directly from the Church Ditch. 2. The reach of the stream system over which this exchange will operate includes the South Platte River from the outfall of the West Gravel Lakes, thence upstream on the South Platte River to the confluence with Clear Creek, thence upstream on Clear Creek and its tributaries to the points of diversion identified above, the furthest upstream of which is the headgate of the Church Ditch located as described in paragraph 2.L. Contemporaneously with its diversions by exchange, unless the Division Engineer requires that the water be made available at another time in order to account for travel time to avoid injury, Westminster will introduce an amount of substitute supply equal to the amount of its diversions by exchange, as adjusted for river transit losses, if any. The Division Engineer may take travel times into account and require that the substitute supply reach a certain point at the same time as the effect from the diversion by exchange also reaches that point. In addition, this exchange may be operated within the Lower Clear Creek Ditch system (to the extent the exchange is facilitated by a bookover to the City of Thornton’s storage account in West Gravel Lakes or pumped
from the West Gravel Lakes into the Lower Clear Creek Ditch itself), thence upstream on Clear Creek and its tributaries to the points of diversion identified above, the furthest upstream of which is the headgate of the Church Ditch located as described in paragraph 2.L. Substitution at the Lower Clear Creek Ditch, will occur through either of the following two methods: a. water in the West Gravel Lakes owned by Westminster may be removed from Westminster’s account and placed in Thornton’s account in place of Clear Creek water which would otherwise be diverted for Thornton’s shares in the Lower Clear Creek Ditch (“Bookover Exchange”); or b. water from West Gravel Lakes may be pumped into the Lower Clear Creek Ditch, at a point located in the N1/2 of Section 25, Township 2 South, Range 68 West of the 6th P. M., Adams County, Colorado, in place of Clear Creek water which would otherwise be diverted for shareholders other than Thornton (“Ditch Exchange”). Either method may satisfy a portion of the demand of the Lower Clear Creek Ditch and in turn may cause the reduction of its diversions from Clear Creek. To the extent such diversions are reduced, an equal amount of water may then be diverted by exchange at the exchange diversion points. The Ditch Exchange in the Lower Clear Creek Ditch involving shares not owned by Thornton shall not operate to burden or otherwise limit future changes in use of water rights of such shares. Nothing in this decree shall require the Lower Clear Creek Ditch Company, or its shareholders who are not subject to a separate agreement, to take delivery, or call for delivery of their water entitlement below the exchange point of discharge to the Lower Clear Creek Ditch. The need for water and the beneficial use of water by Lower Clear Creek Ditch Company shareholders below the discharge point shall be exclusively determined by the Company and its stockholders served thereby. The Ditch Exchange shall be operated in a manner which ensures that all Lower Clear Creek Ditch shareholders, including shareholders who take delivery of their share water up-ditch of the point of discharge to the Lower Clear Creek Ditch, shall receive the same amount of water as they would receive in the absence of the operation of the Ditch Exchange. 3. Amount Claimed: 100 c.f.s., conditional. 4. Appropriation Date: December 21, 1999. 5. Use of exchange water: All municipal uses associated with the City of Westminster’s Municipal Water Supply System including, but not limited to, municipal, irrigation, domestic, commercial, industrial, recreational, exchange, replacement, and augmentation purposes. To the extent water provided as a substitute supply is fully consumable, any water diverted into Westminster’s system by exchange shall carry identical rights of use, reuse, and successive use, and may be fully consumed. 6. Source of water diverted by exchange: Clear Creek, Ralston Creek, and Van Bibber Creek. D. Jim Baker Reservoir Exchange: 1. In substitution for water stored in Jim Baker Reservoir and released to Clear Creek, water shall be diverted by exchange at the following structures: a. Croke Canal, located as described in Paragraph 2.J, above, for storage in Standley Lake and/or delivery into the Westminster Municipal Water Supply System, and/or municipal uses directly from the Croke Canal. b. Farmers’ High Line Canal, located as described in Paragraph 2.K, above, for storage in Standley Lake and/or delivery into the Westminster Municipal Water Supply System, and/or municipal uses directly from the Farmers’ High Line Canal. c. The Church Ditch, located as described in Paragraph 2.L, above, for storage in Standley Lake and/or delivery into the Westminster Municipal Water Supply System, and/or municipal uses directly from the Church Ditch. 2. The reach of the stream system over which this exchange will operate includes Clear Creek from the outfall of Jim Baker Reservoir, thence upstream on Clear Creek and its tributaries to the points of diversion identified above, the furthest upstream of which is the headgate of the Church Ditch located as described in paragraph 2.L. Contemporaneously with its diversions by exchange, unless the Division Engineer requires that the water be made available at another time in order to account for travel time to avoid injury, Westminster will introduce an amount of substitute supply equal to the amount of its diversions by exchange, as adjusted for river transit losses, if any. The Division Engineer may take travel times into account and require that the substitute supply reach a certain point at the same time as the effect from the diversion by exchange also reaches that point. 3. Amount Claimed: 25 c.f.s., conditional. 4. Appropriation Date: December 21, 1999. 5. Use of exchange water: All municipal uses associated with the City of Westminster’s Municipal Water Supply System including, but not limited to, municipal, irrigation, domestic, commercial, industrial, recreational, exchange, replacement, and augmentation purposes. To the extent water provided as a substitute supply is fully consumable, any water diverted into Westminster’s system by exchange shall carry identical rights of use, reuse, and successive use, and may be fully consumed. 6. Source of water diverted by exchange: Clear Creek, Ralston Creek, and Van Bibber Creek. 4. Detailed outline of what has been done toward completion of the appropriation and application to a beneficial use: A. Wattenberg Lake remains under construction, and is not yet entirely completed and operational. Wattenberg Lake will be lined gravel lake storage located on lands owned by Westminster. The owner of the mineral interests associated with said lands is Aggregate Industries (“AI”). Pursuant to a Storage Facility Agreement, AI is conducting gravel mining activities on the property and will ultimately deliver lined gravel lake storage to Westminster upon completion of its mining activities. AI’s mining activities on the property are ongoing. During the diligence period, however, Westminster took delivery of the first phase of lined storage associated with Wattenberg Lake. Initial closing occurred in late December of 2019 at which time Westminster took title to approximately 2,500 acre feet of the initial storage amount associated with Wattenberg Lake. After completing a survey of the first phase of lined storage, a final first delivery closing was held in September 2020. In connection with the initial and final first delivery closings for the first phase of lined storage, Westminster made payments to Aggregate Industries in excess of $5.8 million dollars. These funds were expended during the diligence period. Work on the second phase of lined storage is ongoing and has occurred during the diligence period. As of the date of this application, AI has completed the first cell of lined storage as discussed above and delivered the first cell to Westminster. Design work on inlet and outlet components is ongoing. B. During the diligence
period, Westminster incurred operation and maintenance expenses associated with the BDCWWTP. Another source of water to be stored directly in Wattenberg Lake is Westminster’s fully consumable effluent generated at the Metro Wastewater Reclamation District Plant. Westminster also paid certain fees to the Metro Wastewater Reclamation District for treatment and discharge of Westminster’s effluent at the Metro Plant. C. The decree in Case No. 99CW207 identifies several different means to deliver water into Wattenberg Lake. One such method of water delivery is via the Brighton Ditch. Prior to the current diligence period, Westminster entered into a carriage agreement with the Brighton Ditch Company for the delivery of water to Wattenberg Lake. During the current diligence period, Westminster has continued to pay annual maintenance fees to the Brighton Ditch Company consistent with the requirements of its carriage agreement. D. Westminster is the owner of a storage account at the West Gravel Lakes, that is used, in part, for storage of water pursuant to the decree in Case No. 99CW207. Westminster has incurred expenses during the diligence period associated with its storage account at the West Gravel Lakes, including but not limited to expenses associated with the operation and maintenance of its storage account and the Lower Clear Creek/Colorado Agricultural ditches as well as pumping costs associated with the operation of the storage account. E. During the diligence period, Westminster has operated and maintained Jim Baker Reservoir. Activities include, but are not limited to, monitoring lake levels, operating and maintaining inlet and outlet works, accounting and record keeping activities, wetlands monitoring and general reservoir maintenance activities. Operation and maintenance of the reservoir is an integral component of the Jim Baker Reservoir Exchange. Operation and maintenance expenses were incurred during the diligence period, including, but not limited to, City staff time and expenses and outside consultant expenses. F. During the diligence period, Westminster continued to operate under the carriage agreement with the Farmers’ High Line Canal and Reservoir Company for the use of excess capacity in the Farmers’ High Line Canal. This agreement allows Westminster to carry additional water through the Farmers’ High Line Canal, including water exchanged to the Farmers’ High Line Canal in accordance with the decree in Case No. 99CW207. Westminster is contractually obligated to pay an annual fee for use of the Farmers’ High Line Canal. Westminster has continually made these payments during the diligence period. G. During the diligence period, Westminster has also paid funds in the form of ditch assessments to the Church Ditch Water Authority, the Farmers’ High Line Canal and Reservoir Company, FRICO, the Manhart Ditch Company and the Kershaw Ditch Company. Said funds have been used, in part, to maintain the ditches necessary for operation of the conditional exchanges. H. As set forth in paragraph 29 of the decree in Case No. 14CW3117, the conditional exchanges decreed in Case No. 99CW207 are part of Westminster’s Clear Creek Water Supply System, an integrated system under § 37-92301(4)(b), C.R.S. During the diligence period, Westminster has continued the development of its Clear Creek Water Supply System. Activities have included, among other things: acquisition of additional interests in water on Clear Creek and its tributaries and the South Platte River; prosecuting Water Court applications to incorporate said interests into the City’s Water Supply System; exercising conditional exchanges and making portions absolute or obtaining diligence decrees on the remaining conditional portions; operation of an aeration system related to Jim Baker Reservoir; negotiation of bypass agreement for Lower Clear Creek/Colorado Agricultural Ditch; and, participation in numerous Water Court cases for purposes of protecting, maintaining and developing Westminster’s Water Supply System. Expenses associated with these activities were incurred during the diligence period. I. During the diligence period, Westminster has participated in a number of water court proceedings in an effort, in part, to protect and maintain return flows to Big Dry Creek and the Clear Creek and South Platte River basins. Costs associated with these efforts were incurred during the diligence period. 5. Water applied to beneficial use: N/A. 6. Name(s) and address(es) of owner(s) or reputed 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: The BDCWWTP, and the relevant BDCWWTP outfall, is owned by Westminster and located on City lands. There is no need to modify said structure in order to accomplish the conditional exchanges. As noted above, Wattenberg Lake is still under construction. The lands on which it will be located are owned by Westminster. The mineral interests, including gravel deposits, located on said lands are owned by Aggregate Industries – WCR, Inc. Pursuant to an agreement with AI, the lined storage created by mining the gravel deposits will be owned by Westminster. By separate agreement, Westminster has conveyed a portion of the storage volumes in the resulting lined storage to South Adams County Water & Sanitation District. The lands on which the Wattenberg Well Field will be located are also owned by Westminster. On information and belief, the lands on which the Wattenberg Pipeline diversion point will be located are owned by: City of Thornton, 9500 Civic Center Drive, Thornton, Colorado 80229-4326. Upon completion of construction, Wattenberg Lake may also be filled by the Brighton Ditch and/or the Brantner Ditch, both existing ditches. Westminster has a carriage agreement with the Brighton Ditch. Westminster does not currently have a carriage agreement with the Brantner Ditch. Consistent with the decree in Case No. 99CW207, this application and any resulting decree does not seek to establish a carriage right in the Brantner Ditch. Any such carriage right shall be by separate agreement. West Gravel Lakes is an existing structure located on lands owned by the City of Thornton. Westminster owns storage space in the West Gravel Lakes. There is no need to modify West Gravel Lakes, or its outfall, to accomplish the conditional exchanges. Jim Baker Reservoir is an existing structure owned by Westminster and located on lands owned by the City. There is no need to modify Jim Baker Reservoir, or its outfall, to accomplish the conditional exchanges. All structures associated with the conditional exchanges diverting from Clear Creek are existing, not new structures. In addition, the Manhart Ditch headgate diverts from Ralston Creek and is an existing, not a new, structure. There is no need to
modify these structures in order to accomplish the conditional exchanges. Westminster holds carriage rights in each of the existing ditches diverting from Clear Creek identified in this application and the Manhart Ditch diverting from Ralston Creek. On information and belief, a new or modified diversion structure diverting from Ralston Creek into the Croke Canal may be located on lands owned by: Farmers Reservoir and Irrigation Company, 80 South 27th Avenue, Brighton, Colorado 80601; City of Arvada, 8101 Ralston Road, Arvada, Colorado 80002. On information and belief, a new or modified diversion structure diverting water from Van Bibber Creek into the Farmers’ High Line Canal may be located on lands owned by: Farmers’ High Line Canal and Reservoir Company, 8399 W 89th Avenue, Westminster, Colorado 80021; Jefferson County, 100 Jefferson County Parkway, Golden, Colorado 80419. In Case No. 14CW3117, Westminster did not seek diligence as to the “exchange to” point on Leyden Creek at the Croke Canal. As a result, the Leyden Creek diversion point was abandoned as an “exchange to” point under the decree in Case No. 99CW207. That determination applied solely to the diversion point adjudicated for exchange purposes in Case No. 99CW207, and no other decree or water right. Additional notice by certified or registered mail, as set forth in § 37-92-302(2) (b), C.R.S., will be provided to the entities identified above for the Wattenberg Pipeline diversion point, the Ralston Creek diversion point to the Croke Canal and the Van Bibber Creek diversion point to the Farmers’ High Line Canal. The remaining structures involved with the conditional exchanges are all existing, not new, diversion or storage structures and no additional notice beyond the notice provided by newspaper publication and the water court resume is required. WHEREFORE, Westminster requests the Court to enter its decree and ruling as follows: 1. To make a finding of reasonable diligence as to the entirety of the remaining conditional exchanges originally adjudicated in Case No. 99CW207 and providing that a subsequent showing of diligence be made six years from the date of entry of a decree of diligence in this matter; and, 2. Any other ruling the Court deems appropriate in the above-captioned matter WATER RIGHTS CLAIMED OR HERETOFORE ADJUDICATED THE WATER RIGHTS CLAIMED BY THESE APPLICATIONS MAY AFFECT IN PRIORITY ANY WITHIN THIS DIVISION AND OWNERS OF AFFECTED RIGHTS MUST APPEAR TO OBJECT WITHIN THE TIME PROVIDED BY STATUTE OR BE FOREVER BARRED.

Description of conditional water rights and rates of diversion: The original decree approved several conditional water rights. The Court previously decreed absolute Arvada’s Clear Creek Exchange, Ralston Creek Exchange I, Ralston Creek Exchange II, Ralston Creek to Clear Creek Exchange, and Clear Creek to Ralston Creek Exchange, and decreed as partially absolute Arvada’s Metropolitan Denver Waste Water Treatment Plant Exchange. The following decreed exchanges remain conditional or partially conditional and are the subject of this application. i. Metropolitan Denver Waste Water Treatment Plant Exchange to Clear Creek or Ralston Creek. Treated sewage effluent from the Metro Wastewater Reclamation District Treatment Plant (f/k/a Metropolitan Denver Waste Water Treatment Plant) for which Arvada is entitled to claim credit pursuant to the decree in Case No. 88CW105, and which effluent is in excess of return flow obligations due at the outfall of the treatment plant, may be released at the plant outfall and an equal
amount of water may be diverted either at the headgate of the Croke Canal on Clear Creek or at Arvada Reservoir on Ralston Creek. The cumulative rate of flow for this exchange, together with the like treatment plant exchanges described in the decrees in Case Nos. W-8762-77, 82CW359, 85CW409, and 85CW410, is 12 cfs. 5.65 cfs of the exchange to Clear Creek (headgate of Croke Canal) was decreed absolute, leaving 6.35 cfs conditional. The exchange to Ralston Creek (Arvada Reservoir) was previously decreed absolute in the amount of 6.05 cfs, leaving 5.95 cfs conditional. ii.Ward Road Pond to Arvada Reservoir Exchange. Applicant sold Ward Road Pond and no longer intends to complete this conditional appropriation. D. Legal Descriptions: The locations of the structures involved in the remaining conditional exchange are depicted on the map attached hereto as EXHIBIT A and are described as follows: i.

James J. Petrock and Eric K. Trout, Hayes Poznanovic Korver LLC, 1999 Broadway, Suite 3200, Denver, CO, 80202. APPLICATION FOR UNDERGROUND WATER RIGHTS FROM NONTRIBUTARY AND NOT NONTRIBUTARY SOURCES AND APPROVAL OF PLAN FOR AUGMENTATION, IN THE NONTRIBUTARY UPPER ARAPAHOE, LOWER ARAPAHOE, AND LARAMIE-FOX HILLS AQUIFERS AND THE NOT-NONTRIBUTARY DENVER AQUIFER IN ADAMS COUNTY. Subject Property: 62.12 acres generally located in the SE1/4 SE1/4, Section 30, Township 1 South, Range 64 West of the 6th P.M., Adams County, State of Colorado, as shown on Exhibit A (“Subject Property”). Applicants are the sole owners of the Subject Property. Well Permits: There are currently no wells on the Subject Property. Well permits will be applied for prior to construction of wells. Source of Water Rights: The Denver Aquifer is not-nontributary as defined in C.R.S. § 37-90-103(10.7), and the Upper Arapahoe, Lower Arapahoe, and Laramie-Fox Hills aquifers are nontributary as defined in C.R.S. § 3790-103(10.5). Estimated Amounts: Applicant estimates the following annual amounts may be available for withdrawal: Aquifer Annual Amount (acre-feet) Denver (NNT) 5.0* Upper Arapahoe (NT) 12.6 Lower Arapahoe (NT) 10.5 Laramie-Fox Hills (NT) 14.4 *The total estimated amount of Denver Aquifer water is 9 acre-feet annually. 4 acre-feet is being withheld from this adjudication for use by future exempt wells, and for any future exempt purposes. Proposed Uses: Domestic, commercial, irrigation, stockwatering, fire protection, and augmentation purposes, including storage, both on and off the Subject Property. Jurisdiction: The Court has jurisdiction over the subject matter of this application pursuant to C.R.S. §§ 37-90-137(6),
37-92-203(1), 37-92-302(2). Summary of Plan for Augmentation: Groundwater to be Augmented: Approximately 1.3 acre-feet per year of Denver Aquifer groundwater. The Denver Aquifer groundwater will be withdrawn in up to two (2) individual wells. Each individual well will withdraw up to 0.65 acre-feet per year, as follows: 0.3 acre-feet per year for in-house use, 0.3 acre-feet per year for up to 6,000 square-feet of irrigation, and 0.05 acre-feet per year for 4 large domestic animals. Water Rights to be Used for Augmentation: Return flows from the use of not nontributary and nontributary groundwater and direct discharge of nontributary groundwater. Statement of Plan for Augmentation: The Upper Dawson aquifer groundwater will be used for domestic purposes, including in-house use, irrigation, stockwatering, and fire protection, through one or more wells, both on and off the Subject Property. Applicant reserves the right to amend the amount and uses without amending the application or republishing the same. Sewage treatment for in-house use will be provided by non-evaporative septic systems. Return flows from in-house use will be approximately 90% of that use, and return flows from irrigation use will be approximately 15% of that use. During pumping Applicant will replace actual depletions pursuant to C.R.S. § 37-90-137(9)(c.5).

CLINIC funding these sorts of legal assistance programs. Colorado officials said they amended their Medicaid spending plan to provide grants to two such partnerships. Other states have sought federal waivers allowing them to support those programs. The Department of Veterans Affairs also offers the services of medical-legal partnerships funded by outside organizations. Scanlon, the attorney at the Salud clinic, is part of a nonprofit organization called Medical Legal Partnership Colorado that operates under a
joint agreement with the clinic. Colorado’s Medicaid program approved a $300,000 grant to the partnership that was renewed this year to pay for three attorneys’ salaries. Authorizing the funding took little convincing, said Michelle Miller, chief nursing officer for the state’s Medicaid program. “When we were asked to approve funding for this, I jumped at it,” Miller said. One Woman’s Story For Cynthia Enriquez De Santiago, the 19-year-old patient from Salud’s Commerce City clinic, legal advice made all the difference in her medical care. In addition to her cerebral palsy, the teen is blind and has difficulty speaking; she needs round-the-clock
care, including help eating and using the bathroom. Her doctor at the clinic put Rafaela De Santiago, Cynthia’s mother, in touch with an attorney who could help her continue to be her daughter’s legal guardian after the teen turned 18 last year. The timing of that legal help proved critical: Several months after seeing the attorney, Enriquez De Santiago was rushed to a hospital. For no obvious reason, she had become hypothermic; her blood pressure dropped and her bloodoxygen levels cratered. “The doctors were telling me I had to be ready for the worst,” the teen’s mother said through a Spanish-toEnglish interpreter. Because she was Enriquez De
Santiago’s legal guardian, her mother was able to sign off on follow-up tests after that emergency to quickly get to the root of the medical problem and help prevent it from happening again. Without guardianship, “it would have been really, really hard, because I wouldn’t know where to begin the process,” Rafaela De Santiago said.
