A LITTLE HOLIDAY WARMTH

Northglenn approves old rec center for nightly shelter Denver Rescue Mission receives green light to transform the old recreation center

BY LUKE ZARZECKI LZARZECKI@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Northglenn’s City Council passed Resolution CR 142 on Dec. 7, allowing the city’s old recreation center to be a nightly homeless shelter. The tentative start date is Dec. 13.

The program would run through March 2022 and house 25 people who are experiencing homelessness. The hours would be from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m. and would be operated by Denver Rescue Mission and funded by Adams County.

The program aims to serve those left out by the Severe Weather Action Plan, a county program adopted in 2020 to help people experiencing unsheltered homelessness. The intake hours for the SWAP are 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Those experiencing homelessness come to the program in the morning and room distribution occurs around 1 p.m. Since working folks miss these intake hours, the new program will accommodate those folks.

“People who are working went to work before 10 o’clock in the morning and are getting off of work after 2 p.m. in the afternoon have lost out on the chance to secure shelter for the night,” said Jessica Hulse, Crisis Response Unit Program Manager for the City of Northglenn.

According to Hulse, homelessness in Adams County increased between 40 and 45 percent since the COVID SEE SHELTER, P6

“I think we were given an incredible opportunity with this new congressional seat to have representation of Adams County and Weld County together,” Kulmann she said.

Kulmann spent 22 years in the oil and gas industry. Mixing that experience with local government roles,

she said the combination gives her tools to represent the district well.

She hopes to bring local community voices to the Capitol floor.

“As the mayor, the things that we deal with every single day in our community, whether it’s the economy or feeling safe at home, or making sure that we are focused on our quality of life, are the things that Congress needs to hear about, SEE KULMANN, P5

Adams County legislators talk politics at breakfast

BY LUKE ZARZECKI LZARZECKI@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Legislators talked about economic recovery, health care, child services, education, the environment and more during the annual Adams County Regional Partnership Legislative Preview Breakfast Dec. 10 at Northglenn’s Parsons Theater.

But the first issue on deck? The timing of the meeting.

“I think as business people and as a municipality, people that represent the community, should really pay attention to. And that is for a single parent to make a 7a.m. meeting, let’s think about this,” Adams County Commissioner Eva Henry pointed out to the crowd. “Let’s think about this. They have to get their 3-, 4-year old up at 5 a.m., get dressed, fed and out the door by 6 a.m. so they can make a 7 a.m. meeting that could easily be at 8.”

The tired crowd applauded the idea. Rep. Matt Gray, who came late to the meeting after driving his children to school, said he would have benefited from a later meeting.

On stage sat Rep. Adrienne Benavidez, Rep. Shannon Bird, Rep. Lindsey Daugherty, Gray, state Sen. Barbara Kirkmeyer, state Sen. Dominick Moreno, Rep. Kyle Mullica and state Sen. Faith Winter.

Much of the talk surrounded the American Rescue Plan Act. Congress passed the American Rescue Plan Act, and legislators will brainstorm policy on how to distribute those funds. Four main issues leg-

islators plan to support with those funds are behavioral health, affordable housing, economic recovery and relief, and workforce development, Moreno explained.

“All of those different task forces have been meeting and developing policy solutions for what are the most effective ways to deploy those federal funds,” Moreno said.

Benavidez explained that for behavioral health, the task force plans to help general mental health issues, as well as mental health within the criminal justice system.

“It is going to be, hopefully, a very big year for behavioral health,” she said.

To revamp the tax code, legislators hope to work with people who deal with the tax code everyday.

“The great part about the task force is this is a group made up of community members, members of the business community, those who

are dealing and working with our tax code every day,” Bird said.

She also expressed a call to action.

“Build relationships with your legislators and make sure you’re letting us know, early and often how legislation impacts you and challenges that you’re having,” Bird said.

Kirkmeyer said that with her experience as a small-business owner, she can help analyze the government’s expenditure and revenue to balance the budget.

Kirkmeyer also discussed how a good education system can entice business. She said the legislators need to look at the School Finance Act and create more equity around schools.

Daugherty struck the hearts of many when describing how child abuse continues to happen and goes unreported during these times. She has worked in juvenile law for nine years.

“These kiddos are going through a lot, and they have no one,” she said.

She pointed to the juvenile bills the Legislature brings to the floor and stressed the importance of them.

Mullica, who has experience as a trauma nurse, explained how work needs to be done for nurses undergoing mental health complications due to the COVID-19 pandemic. He noted many health-care professionals are leaving the field.

“We need to create an environment (doctors and nurses) can thrive,” he said.

Winter noted the workplace harassment bills and the effort to change the culture within the workplace, which she hopes bias standard training will accomplish.

She also discussed the push to incentivise car pooling and other transportation measures to lower carbon emissions.

Downing ends tenure on council

BY LUKE ZARZECKI LZARZECKI@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Joyce Downing answered her last roll call for city council on Dec. 13.

After over three decades of service to Northglenn, Downing leaves the dias proud of her accomplishments.

But, she will not be a stranger to City Hall: she remains on both Downing the Victim Assistance and Law Enforcement board and the Historic Preservation Commission.

“I feel very humbled that I was reelected so many times. There’s a lot of folks out there that do a great job, but I’m very, very fortunate,” she said.

Downing began her career as an appointee. She was called to fill a vacancy for a councilor who resigned in 1990. Since then, she served over four terms as a Ward 2 councilor and two terms as mayor.

However, she took a brief hiatus.

Although she was grandfathered into term limits, she took a two-year break because she held office for so long. Instead of taking the easy way out and ending her service, she jumped back into Northglenn politics.

“I enjoy being part of making things happen in the city and you know,” she said.

Many things happened when she sat on council. A new recreation center, a new police department and the Stonehocker Farmhouse stand out as her favorite memories.

One thing she praises is the new Parson’s Theatre.

“Oh, my God, but the theater I mean, we all definitely use the theater and I know people just have all kinds of accolades about it,” she said.

Downing said she can’t think of many obstacles she had to overcome, although she admits finding consensus among nine folks on council remains the biggest hurdle.

She says teamwork is key.

“It’s just a matter of working with everybody to accomplish what needs to be accomplished,” she said.

For the current council, she hopes they continue working on homelessness, transportation and regionalism. And to the new members, she offers advice.

“Think collaboratively, listen to other people’s opinions, be open to what is shared and be patient,” she said.

After closing her city servant chapter, Downing plans to continue working for her real estate liquidation company and to spend time with her husband, children and grandchildren.

“I think it’s going to be a new adventure. You know, just moving on,” she said.

Thornton not exempt from lawsuits for shopping center

without knowledge of the environmental problems and he claims to lack the h funds needed to clean up the mess. Even b with a court order directing Brown and a his company to clean up the site, a stale- r mate remains.

Mayor Kulmann thinks Brown’s claims are false.

“He claims he has no money, but yet he has a lot of money to hire lawyers to prevent him from having to comply with state regulations,” she said.

Kulmann explained the situation to a the Department of Public Health and w Environment and that the city would t buy the property.

“Thornton would spend up to $7 mil- T lion in public funds to complete source n contamination cleanup,” she said in a a letter to the department. c Kulmann thinks the council can over- w come the issue. e “I think the letter is just one more s thing that we’re working through in C order to actually solve the problem with the shopping center,” she said. c City Councilor Kathryn Henson noted a i

BY LUKE ZARZECKI LZARZECKI@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The Thornton Shopping Center’s northern structure was demolished on July 1, a major point of progress in the ongoing drama of the property’s cleanup.

COURTESY OF CITY OF THORNTON

Colorado Department of Public Health and the Environment sent Mayor Kulmann a letter Dec. 2 making it clear that the city is not exempt from lawsuits regarding the Thornton Shopping Center.

“Unfortunately, CDPHE cannot offer the City of Thornton a covenant not to sue under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act/Colorado Hazardous Waste Act,” the letter states.

Kulmann asked for a pass from the State because the city wants to move the process along and begin redeveloping the area.

The property has two major problems.

First is the contamination of the soil and groundwater with perchloroethylene (PERC), a dry-cleaning chemical, of which the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment enforces the remediation. The second set of issues is structural and aesthetic ones with buildings, parking lots and sidewalks, which the city enforces through issuing municipal code violations.

Westminster officer kills suspect STAFF REPORT

A Westminster Police Officer shot and killed a suspect Dec. 5 who matched the description of a suspect linked to a vehicle crash on the 10300 block of Wadsworth Parkway.

The vehicle was determined to have been stolen during an armed carjacking earlier that morning.

An officer in the area attempted to contact the suspect, believed to be the driver, who was walking in the ditch north of Standley Lake High School.

Then, the adult male fired at the officer and the officer returned fire.

Other officers arrived and they contacted the suspect in the ditch.

After rendering aid, the suspect was transported to the hospital where he died from his injuries. The identity

of the suspect will be released by the Jefferson County Coroner’s Office.

No one else was in the vehicle and students inside the school were ordered to stay inside. No one else was injured and the incident was not school-related.

and it’s time that somebody that works at the local level can bring that to Washington,” she said.

One issue she points to is the Thornton Shopping Center. She notes the environmental regulations and obstacles from the federal level caused trouble in moving forward with the project. With direct experience in a local government position, she can explain those obstacles to Congress.

“I think as a congressperson, I could take those lessons I’ve learned as mayor and apply them to Washington,” she said.

The move to run for Congress doesn’t come as a surprise.

“I believe that most people who know Kulmann would not be surprised that she has ambitions,” Thornton City Councilor Kathryn Henson said.

The announcement came after a tense city council meeting. Normally, members vote for mayor pro tem vote by written ballot, but Councilor Karen Bigelow called for the vote to be public. Councilors Henson, Jacque Phillips and Julia Marvin

notes how the situation will affect taxpayers.

“Unfortunately, when you have a landlord like a slumlord, like Jerry Brown, cities end up sometimes picking up the slack,” she said.

Henson also believes this is an equity issue. She thinks the southern part of the city receives less atten-

tion than the north, and points to some numbers.

“These are hard numbers that we have fewer parks, fewer green spaces,” she said. “In Ward one alone, we have twice as many people living per square mile, and we have half as many playgrounds for our kids as they have in other words in

the city.”

To move forward, the council sees eminent domain as a course of action, which would give the property to the government with compensation.

An executive session on Dec. 7 occurred and council members reportedly talked about the issue.

also approved of a public vote. They lost 5-4.

“I believe that Councilmember (Adam) Matkowsky, participating over Zoom for a written vote, tells you that that vote was extremely important,” Henson said.

Councilor Jessica Sandgren won the mayor pro tem seat. If Mayor Kulmann goes off to Congress, Sandgren will become mayor.

The 8th District is Colorado’s newest, an addition that came out of the 2020 Census and the state’s recent population growth. The district is spread across Adams, Weld and Larimer counties. Adams County has the largest share of the population in the district at 456,000, followed

by Weld at 248,000 and Larimer at 17,000.

Thornton is the city with the largest population in the 8th District at 141,000, followed by Greeley at 108,000. Then there’s Westminster, at 71,000, Commerce City, 62,000, Brighton, at 39,000, and Northglenn at 38,000.

It runs from the Northglenn, Thornton and parts of Broomfield along U.S. Highway 85 into Greeley.

It includes much of Adams and

Weld counties and has the largest percentage of Hispanic people of any of Colorado’s U.S. House districts.

The general election race could be a toss-up, as the district has no clear leaning. Forty-four percent of its active voters are registered as unaffiliated, 28 percent as Democrats and 25 percent as Republicans.

Other candidates in the primary include Weld County Commissioner Lori Saine, state Sen. Barbara Kirkmeyer, Giuliana “Jewels” Gray, a wedding photographer and Ryan Gonzalez.

If Kulmann wins the primary June 28, she will be the Republican name on the Nov. 8 ticket for the general election.

Success in fossil fuels Touting a successful career in the fossil fuel industry, Kulmann presents proof to show for it. The Denver Business Journal awarded her the Trailblazer Award for climbing the ranks in the male-dominated industry.

Kulmann’s political history in Thornton is not squeaky clean, though. As a city councilor, Kulmann was recalled in 2016 and survived.

During her tenure as mayor, The Denver Post reported Kulmann used taxpayer money to fund a trip to the White House for an event organized

by Melania Trump without telling the council or the public. The Post also covered a lawsuit from antifracking activists who sued her for blocking them on social media channels.

Northglenn diversity board stays busy

BY LUKE ZARZECKI LZARZECKI@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Northglenn’s Diversity, Inclusivity and Social Equity board gave the city council their first update, with a busy first year behind them.

“I think you’re the hardest working board we have right now,” said Mayor Meredith Leighty at the Dec. 6 city council meeting.

Council created the board in August 2020 after a summer of protests surrounding the murder of George Floyd. Sarah Woodson, a co-chair of the board, notes the mayor’s initiative to talk about diversity led to the formation of the board to investigate how to weave a more diverse fabric of the city.

Rayana Blackmon, secretary of the board, said the purpose of the board is “to support city council’s strategic focus on diversity in the use of community feedback to influence future decision making to promote diversity.”

They review the current and proposed policy as it relates to diversity,

pandemic. No emergency shelter currently exists to connect people experiencing homelessness during cold nights. The closest one rests 20 miles outside of Northglenn.

Participants must be 18 years or

inclusivity and social equity, provide recommendations to the city council on how to promote diversity, and to work with other boards in the Northglenn to ensure diversity, inclusivity and social equity commitments.

According to Woodson, their three main accomplishments the past year were their Pride event, community listening session and the black history event.

Listening sessions serve as a space for citizens to voice their concerns to the board, with a focus on connecting with the youth. Then, the board reports back to the mayor and council.

“The community listening sessions really consist of us having a better understanding of how we implement diverse policy and then taking that back to council,” Woodson said.

As well, the listening sessions also serve a purpose to bridge understanding of concepts and initiatives.

In the future, the board plans to hold sessions discussing gender-neutral

language and naming indigenous land.

Out of Pride Deja Moore, an at-large member of the board, explained that because Northglenn raised a Pride flag for its Out of Pride event, it encouraged Thornton as well. But it didn’t come easy.

Moore said there was not consensus among Thornton councilors initially and lack of understanding why it mattered to LGBTQ+ residents. There was also concern that if they raised the Pride flag, the city would also need to fly other flags.

Members of the Northglenn board testified at the Thornton City Council’s June 8 meeting to explain the importance of the symbolic measure.

“I think you really get to penetrate people’s hearts, and once you penetrate your person’s heart with the proper information, you can always get them to change their mind,” Woodson said.

After the testimony, Thornton de-

cided to raise it after a 5-4 vote. The board noted this as an accomplishment from the past year.

Woodson explained for Northglenn to be more inclusive, creating more diverse boards, naming a landmark after a person of color and boards undergoing diversity training are all steps the city can take.

To the landmark, Woodson suggests Odell Barry, who was the first African-American mayor of Northglenn from 1980-1982. He was also a Denver Bronco and a businessman in Northglenn, she said.

At the Dec. 6 city council meeting, responses from the City Council came back positive.

“These are important conversations and different viewpoints that our city needs to have,” Councilor Julie Duran Mullica said.

Additionally, Woodson notes that community members stay enthusiastic about the board and participation remains high.

“It’s definitely a privilege to be able to sit on the board and do the work,” Woodson said.

older, have employment or a community connection. Connections can include attending day school, a day center, or staying with friends or family. Families with children will be referred to Adams 12 Five Star schools which can provide resources through a federal act.

To concerns of folks lingering in the area outside the program, Hulse emphasized that the program only

accepts referrals, and all referrals have a day connection, including a day job, school, a day program or friends and family Hulse said that this program will work for a certain tier of homelessness that is often left out of resources.

“When we are talking about this issue in the community, it is often noted that that chronic homelessness, the people who have been homeless for over a year, is 10 percent of the overall population yet talked about over 90 percent of the time because that’s what’s visible,” Hulse said. “This program is not typically designed for chronic homelessness.”

To measure the success of the program, staff will look at how many long-term connections are made with participants.

“How did they exit that program?

Did they go into transitional housing? Did they go into permanent support of housing? Did they go into an assisted living facility? What were their extended plans after this program?” Hulse said. “The hope is that they will no longer need a housing program at the end of March when this program closes.”

Nothing but support came from the dais. Mayor Pro Tem Jenny Willford said Northglenn could stand as an example to the region.

“My hope is that by Northglenn striking out and leading in this area, that we’re able to demonstrate that even a small community like Northglenn can be creative in addressing this issue, which means that some of our neighbors that are a bit larger that have more resources could definitely come to the table and make a big difference as well as a regional partner,” she said.

Councilor Julie Duran Mullica looks to the future.

“I think one of the things I want the public to hear about is, not only why is it important we do this, but what are we trying to learn through this pilot that we’re going to be contributing to the region?” she asked.

“We are trying to show that if we look at this tier one, tier two homelessness, people that already have a baseline of support, what is the timeline it takes to be able to identify appropriate housing that they can afford and also be individually responsible for with some assistance in achieving those goals,” Hulse responded.

Westminster honors chamber, awards long-time staff

BY LUKE ZARZECKI LZARZECKI@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Mayor Nancy McNally honored the Chamber of Commerce for helping local businesses with a special proclamation Nov. 27.

McNally handed over the Small Business Saturday proclamation to Juliet Abdel, President and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Westminster Chamber of Commerce, and Hannah Curtis, a Coordinator of the

North Metro Small Business Development Center.

The City declared Nov. 27 as Small Business Saturday to place emphasis on shopping local. The tradition to designate the Saturday between Black Friday and Cyber Monday came in 2010 to encourage Westminster residents to support local businesses.

“Thank you for your support to small businesses,” Abdel said after accepting the proclamation.

VOICES

Have-A-Heart Organization was a blessing to many

L

ike so many new things that happen in the world, it all started with a single situation— a situation that was noticed by people CROSS who cared.

CURRENTS Charlotte Ciancio, who at the time was employed by Adams School District 50 (currently Westminster Public Schools) as an elementary school principal, became aware of a family Bill Christopher in need living in an inexpensive motel.

They were experiencing what today we call “food insecurity.”

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Favor vaccines over masks John M. Douglas, Jr., MD, Executive Director of Tri-County Health, said, “Masks have proven to be effective in reducing the spread of this virus, especially when combined with other prevention efforts.” Proven? Proven is a strong word. Proven does not accurately portray reality. At best, the evidence is weak according to “Evidence for Community Cloth Face Masking to Limit the Spread of SARS-CoV-2: A Critical Review” By Ian T. Liu et al., Working Paper No. 64 at the Cato Institute.

Overstating the effectiveness of masks could lead some people to erroneously believe that they are better protected by a mask than they are and consequently engage in riskier behavior (such as participating in a large indoor gathering) than they otherwise would. Others, thinking that masks provide more protection than they do based on Douglas’s unfounded comment, may dangerously substitute mask wearing for vaccination. Therefore, overstating the efficacy of masks could have the unintended consequence of increasing the spread of the virus.

It is unethical for Douglas to mislead the Tri-County board and the public by overstating the effectiveness of masks. It’s especially unethical since it’s being used as justification to strip us of our liberty to decide for ourselves whether to mask.

The only proven prophylactic for COVID-19 is vaccine. A mask mandate distracts public health from what should be its focus: vaccination.

Restore our liberty and return the focus of public health to vaccination by ending the unjustifiable mask mandate.

Ms. Ciancio wanted to do something to help the family so she mentioned the family to Joan Smith, a member of the Board of Education at School District 50. And as they say, the rest is history.

Joan saw the need to get involved in an ongoing way to assist families in the school district who were struggling financially. Their mission was to supplement food and provide clothing to those in need so that children could reach their potential. It quickly became apparent that many families throughout the school district were facing the same dilemma. This was in December, 1996 when Have-a-Heart was launched with the support of the school board and Superintendent

of Schools Mike Massarotti. Joan and her husband Wayne decided to form a partnership between the school district and their business, Smith World Travel. Then as active leaders in the Westminster Presbyterian Church, they sought volunteer helpers to assist in staffing the operations.

Making a difference through cooperation and caring The effort started out small, working out of a very used trailer parked by the district’s stadium.

Later, the Smith family and volunteers had the advantage of space provided by the school district in one of the former Career Enrichment Park buildings, which was

used to teach and train students in a variety of vocational fields.

Along the way, the Westminster Presbyterian Church got involved through its Outreach Committee with volunteers providing a big helping hand on an ongoing basis.

Have-a-Heart would be open on two Saturdays a month. On Sundays, Wayne and their daughter Debbie would go to the mobile home parks in the district with any food and milk left over and shout out “free food and milk” to people in the park. On an average, the Smith’s recalled that 200 families per Saturday would be served.

It’s goodbye, again, and I have a favor to ask

I

’m not exactly sure what you’re supposed to do when you retire.

I hear that often it involves hikes and beers with friends and reading the great books FROM and binge-watching THE EDITOR Marvel movies.

Those all sound rewarding. But I’m not sure that’s going to hold me for long.

So for now at least, I’m staying away from using the word “retire” in Mark Harden referring to what’s happening to me this week. I’ll just call it a transition from one state of being to another.

After Dec.16, I am stepping down as editor of Colorado Community Media, the publisher of 24 weekly newspapers, of which this is one, across eight counties.

I’m a lucky guy to have been working full time for newspapers for almost all of the last 40 years.

Every stop on my professional train ride has been fulfilling and, for the most part, big fun. And I feel like I’ve played a small role in a great endeavor serving a vital public need: Providing honest news and information.

Actually, I first exited this job last fall – I called it “semi-retiring” at the time — as I approached 65. I settled into freelance writing and reporting for various outlets along with contract editing for The Colorado Sun. Then, early this year, The Sun became co-owner of Colorado Community Media as a partner in the Colorado News Conservancy. Not long after that, Larry Ryckman, edi-

tor and co-founder of The Sun, asked if I would step back in for a few months while the hunt was underway for a new CCM publisher and permanent editor.

I’m grateful to Larry for the chance to work once again with our talented and enthusiastic crew of journalists. I’m also thankful that our new owners hired Linda Shapley, my former Denver Post colleague, as our publisher. She has worked tirelessly to bolster our business and to steer our company toward quality journalism and community service.

And come January, my role as CCM editor will be filled by Lisa Schlichtman, a veteran Colorado editor and a resourceful newsroom leader. I wish her great success.

The talented Thelma Grimes, who has been helping us cover Douglas County communities, has already assumed my other role, as the regional editor overseeing our weekly newspapers in Arapahoe, Denver, Douglas and Elbert counties, with help from copy editor Scott Gilbert. Thelma joins our regional editing team of Kristen Fiore (Jefferson and Clear Creek counties), Scott Taylor (Adams and Weld counties) and Christy Steadman (Denver neighborhood monthlies). Thanks to all of them for their efforts.

As you know, it’s been a tumultuous year amid the pandemic, with debates over masks, schools grappling with COVID-19 and race education, packed hospitals, contentious elections and businesses struggling to thrive again. Our reporters have shown dedication, creativity and courage in keeping you informed, in many cases covering stories that no

one else is covering.

As I step away, I have a favor to ask.

It’s expensive to bring you the news you need. So I’m hoping you will help CCM continue as an honest, independent, locally-focused information source with a contribution.

Consider it an investment in democracy.

Through an initiative called #newsCOneeds, in collaboration with the Colorado Media Project, if you contribute to CCM from now until Dec. 31, your money will be doubled, up to $1,000, for a total of $5,000 in matching funds.

If you’re a business, you can help underwrite our community journalism by advertising. Visit ccmengage. com for information. If you’re a reader, please patronize businesses that advertise in this newspaper and thank them for their support.

CCM is headed to a bright future under Linda and Lisa’s leadership and with ownership committed to the best in community news. I will be watching closely from the sidelines and cheering on CCM’s successes. And I will be unfolding my hometown Centennial Citizen each week and clicking on ColoradoCommunityMedia.com to keep current.

It’s been a pleasure helping to bring you news. Thank you for reading, now and always. I wish you joyful holidays and a happy, healthy and prosperous new year.

Westminster, grants, individuals, businesses, Valente’s Deli, both Westminster Rotary Clubs, Rocky Mountain Food Bank, churches, scouts and grocery stores. It took 10 volunteers for each Saturday plus those who did the prep work.

25 years of helping thousands of families along the way Wayne and Joan have decided that the time has come to close up shop at Have-a-Heart. Saturday, Dec. 18 will be their last day to serve families in need.

While it is always sad to say “goodbye” to a good friend, it is important to reflect on the many accomplishments and the difference made. Over the 25 years that this “labor of love” operated, countless thousands of families benefitted from the planning, purchasing, transporting and caring that Wayne, Joan, their daughters and the numerous volunteers gave of themselves.

They truly made a difference to so many children and families over the years. Families had food on the table, children were nourished, students had the energy and focus to do better in the classroom, the community was stronger and people in the community had the opportunity to offer “a hand up” to those in need.

Thank you is way too simple a term to express our feelings and gratitude. You, your family and the Presbyterian Church truly have been community-builders and you deserve many, many accolades. As they pointed out, other existing food banks in the area will be available to help fill the void left by their retirement.

The proposed development meets all the criteria The developer has met all of the city’s design, development criteria utilities and parkland obligations as reflected in the Planning Commission’s unanimous conclusion and recommendation of approval to city council. The plans are in compliance with the city’s existing Comprehensive Land Use Plan.

Staff has stated that the city has sufficient water resources for the entire proposed development along with their recommendation for approval.

Having mentioned all these points, it leaves little to haggle over.

Yes, the council could reduce the density here and there, but on what basis? The overall density is more than 1,000 LESS dwelling units than what the Comprehensive Land Use Plan allows. While I don’t anticipate a unanimous vote in favor of the Uplands plans, I would speculate that it will clearly be approved.

I consider the proposal worthy of city council approval.

Correction on design of water treatment plant etc.

Last week in my column, I misspoke about city council’s informal decision in study session to halt design work on the proposed new water treatment plant and the related new piping. I misunderstood my source on this item and I apologize for any confusion. City council DID in fact direct staff to “pause” the design work on all three projects.

This makes much more sense when coupled with the policy direction to drop the third water rate tier of $12.88 per one thousand gallons.

Next time I will stay up until midnight to follow the council discussion on such issues.

Every third grader in Westminster receives a dictionary Here is another heartwarming story to share with you: The Westminster Rotary Club gave out

1,600 dictionaries recently to every third grader in schools located in Westminster. That covers elementary schools in Westminster Public Schools, Adams 12 Five Star and Jefferson County R-1 Districts plus The Academy and Flatirons Academy.

This program, which is led by these local Rotarians, started in 2006 with over 25,000 dictionaries distributed over the past 15 years.

I had the privilege of joining fellow Rotarian Roberta Bourne to distribute dictionaries at John Flynn A Marzano Academy. It was such a treat to see the students’ smiles and their faces light up when each student received their own dictionary.

Roberta mesmerized the kiddos when she had them look up the longest word in the entire dictionary.

What a treat and what a wonderful program. As the teacher pointed out, “these are your very own dictionaries and you can take them home to share with your family members.” This is building community.

Uplands Development: Is it finally done?

As I write this column on Dec. 8, the Westminster City Council has not yet met to hold the public hearing on the Uplands development.

That’s scheduled to happen on Dec. 13. I am speculating that it will be a two night endeavor, like the Planning Commission public hearing was a few weeks ago.

As stated previously, it is a major decision for all parties concerned.

It is the largest remaining undeveloped parcel of land in the city which offers numerous opportunities. If approved, it will generate major change both — positive and negative.

That is why it is controversial.

I, too, will miss the summer corn growing “as high as an elephant’s eye.” It depends on your perspective as to whether you favor or oppose the development.

Regardless, it is fundamentally important to understand that the property owner, Pillar of Fire, has the property right to sell their land.

Furthermore, the city has an obligation to review and process the plans submitted by the developer and reach a definitive decision.

The New York Broadway costume shop Parsons-Meares, Ltd. paid special attention to the details in the new Colorado Ballet “Nutcracker” costumes they made, like these compass buttons sewn on the vest of the Drosselmeyer character.

The pandemic posed both a challenge and an opportunity

BY MARK JAFFE SPECIAL TO THE COLORADO SUN

W

hen Holly Hynes, the internationally renowned costume designer, sat in the Ellie Caulkins Opera House watching the Colorado Ballet’s “Nutcracker” she thought that it looked “pretty gorgeous” – then she got a closer look at the wardrobe backstage.

The 33-year-old costumes – hand-me-downs from the San Francisco Ballet – were definitely showing their age. “They were worn … patched,” Hynes said. “The capes were so heavy.”

It was time for new “Nutcracker” duds and Hynes, who has created tutus and tights for the New York City Ballet, the Bolshoi Ballet, London’s Royal Ballet and La Scala in Milan, was commissioned to design them.

It was part of a $1.5 million revamp of the company’s production with all new sets and 177 new costumes. But not long after Hynes saw “The Nutcracker” in Denver, the plans were almost upended, as were so many things, by the pandemic.

As theaters closed and new productions were postponed, all the shops that depend on supporting plays and dance saw their work evaporate.

“I had 17 projects that came to a screeching halt,” Hynes said. “It was great that the Colorado Ballet decided to go ahead. It made a huge difference to 18 shops in this project. Many of them would have folded if they hadn’t had the

Colorado Ballet.”

In effect, the Colorado Ballet created its own stimulus package for costume designers and makers in the depths of the pandemic.

“We started talking to the shops in New York and here in Colorado and they were very anxious to do the work, because they had none,” Gil Boggs, the Colorado Ballet’s artistic director, said. “We got some benefit on price and we weren’t rushed.”

And the shops poured more effort into the project, Hynes said. “The work that came out of

them was three times what we would have gotten if they had other projects.”

One of the workshops that was thrown a lifeline was Parson-Meares, in Long Island City, New York. In its four decades, the shop has made the costumes for a legion of Broadway shows, including “Phantom of the Opera,” “The Lion King,” “Cats” and “Hamilton.”

But in early 2020 it had no work and its 58 employees were furloughed. Then the Colorado Ballet came knocking.

“The Colorado Ballet gave us work at a time when we would have had none,” said Sally Ann Parsons, owner of the workshop. The contract enabled Parsons to bring back 35 employees, split up into three shifts so there would never be too many people in the studio.

Among the costumes Parsons-Meares was asked to make were the tutu for the Sugar Plum Fairy, the mice – very important in the “Nutcracker,” for those not versed in it – the toy soldiers and the jester-like polichinelles, who spill from under Mother Ginger’s huge skirt.

Then the difficult part of crafting and fitting the costumes began. Normally the designer is very hands-on with the workshops and the ballet company and the costumes are fit to the dancers who will wear them.

But now everyone was isolated. Hynes’ assistant drove into New York City and came back with loads of swatches and trim and over five days she selected the fabrics while sitting on her back porch. “There was a sense of urgency because we were worried whether we’d be able to get everything, whether there would be supplychain issues,” she said.

Designs and cloth were distributed to the workshops and they began sewing. But the dancers who would be wearing them were back in Colorado. Measurements for each dancer had been sent along.

“We did fittings on dancers we knew, or Holly knew” that were about the same size, Parsons said. Hynes borrowed neighborhood kids for the children’s costumes. Her assistant had a camSEE NUTCRACKER, P15

Time matters as 2021 ends at Walker Fine Art

O

ver the centuries many, many artists in all disciplines have tackled the fluidity and unknowability of time. Which means the contributors to Walker Fine Art’s latest exhibit, A Matter COMING of Time, are in ATTRACTIONS good company.

The exhibition runs at the Denver gallery, 300 W. 11th Ave., No. A, through Saturday, Jan. 15.

Participating artists — Kim Ferrer, Karin Schminke, Peter Illig, Julie Clarke Reader Anderson, Mark Penner Howell and Doug Haeussner — use painting, sculpture, photography and mixed media to explore the ways time is perceived and experienced.

We spoke to gallery owner Bobbi Walker about the exhibit, the artists and the mystery of time.

Interview is edited for clarity and brevity.

Tell me about the impetus behind A Matter of Time?

As Covid has unfolded and morphed over the past 21 months, I believe we have all felt a distinct disconnect in how we measure time. Mark Penner Howell once told me that artists are the harbingers of change, the canaries in the coalmine, alerting society in times where important discourse is required.

The artists in this exhibition submitted bodies of work centered on trying to address the complex, non-linear sequence of how time is experienced in this new world where there is no normal.

As you went about setting up the exhibit, what kind of story were you looking to tell?

Our daily lives have been adjusted and readjusted to accommodate the mandates and uncertainties of the pandemic. We have been shaken out of our routines as they are continually being redefined. This has given us the opportunity to slow down and

era so she could view the fittings remotely. “Holly didn’t see costumes close up until last spring,” Parsons said.

And while the new costumes may not last another three decades, they were built to stand up to time.

“The costumes in a ballet like ‘Nutcracker’ are used for years and years, so you need to think about how you can make them adjustable,” Parsons said. There is extra material in the side seams and extra material in the bodices.

“Stretch is our friend so we want to incorporate it into jackets, bodices,” Hynes said. “The good thing about ‘The Nutcracker’ is that it fills the seats. The bad thing is it always needs to be continually upgraded and refurbished. It is never-ending.”

Boggs wanted to keep the ballet in its Victorian setting, as it was in

address how we choose to spend our time. To reevaluate our priorities in a more intentional way, and reconsider how we treat each other.

What makes each of these artists’ work unique from your perspective?

Each artist is delivering their own approach to how the construct of time is perceived, measured and experienced. Because our interpretation of time has become fluid, our understanding of time has shifted, and it is unique to our individual reality. The diversity of medium of each body of work adds to the complexity of the exhibition while trying to convey an intangible concept.

The show tackles ideas around time — what role do you think time plays in the ability to understand or appreciate a work of art?

It has been rewarding to see that in slowing down our daily lives, people are spending more time with exhibitions. They are making an effort to see the intention of the artists and understand their connection to the underlying themes.

There is more of a dialogue between the artist and the viewer now which initiates a deeper conversation, transcending a simple aesthetic viewing of the work.

What do you hope people who see the show come away with?

I hope that people will walk away from this exhibition questioning their use of time, reevaluating the priorities that drive the use of each day. Thinking more deeply about how they approach, react and communicate with others.

K Contemporary closes 2021 and welcomes 2022 Denver’s K Contemporary is bridging the gap between 2021 and 2022 with two new shows — each bringing a unique perspective of the world: Angel Ricardo Ricardo Rios’ “Zona Rosa” and Shawn Huckins’ “I Know Not Where.”

The shows run at the gallery, 1412 Wazee St. in Denver, through Saturday, Jan. 8. “Zona Rosa” is Cuban-

born Rios’ first show in Colorado and features more than a dozen large-scale paintings, according to provided information. Huckins’ show, “I Know Not Where,” is a continuation of his series, “The Birds Will Sing.”

Share some holiday laughs with Sam Jay It is difficult to imagine a time when laughs are more necessary than during the stressful holiday season. And Denver audiences can see one of the most exciting new comedic voices around in Sam Jay. A stand-up and Emmy-nominated writer, Jay made the leap to the big leagues with her new show, “Pause with Sam Jay” on HBO..

Jay will be performing at Comedy Works Downtown, 1226 15th St. in Denver, at 8 p.m. on Thursday, Dec. 16, 7:30 and 9:45 p.m. on Friday, Dec. 17 and Saturday, Dec. 18. Visit comedyworks.com/comedians/sam-jay for information and tickets.

Clarke’s Concert of the Week — Nathaniel Rateliff and The Night Sweats at the Mission Ballroom Homecoming concerts are almost always the best times to catch an artist live, and over the last decade or so Denver’s Nathaniel Rateliff has repeatedly proven that to be the case. He’s closing out 2021 with a pair of performances at Mission Ballroom, 4242 Wynkoop St. in Denver.

When Rateliff performs with his group The Night Sweats, there’s always an extra element of swing to things, but these shows will be particularly special because the band will be joined by the legendary Preservation Hall Jazz Band from New Orleans.

Rateliff will be performing at 8 p.m. on Thursday, Dec. 16 and Friday, Dec. 17. All you need to know can be found at missionballroom. com/upcoming-events.

the original production – no modern adaptation, he said. “I am a little anxious to see the audience’s reaction to changing something that was working well.”

For Hynes the costumes are, in the spirit of ballet, an exercise of theme and variation. “The first act is a period piece and in the second act you can let your imagination go wild,” she said.

“We try to carry something from the party scene that has stuck in Clara’s brain that carries over to the Land of Sweets,” Hynes said.

One of those is her mother’s plumcolored dress transformed into the Sugar Plum Fairy’s tutu.

Another is a fabric print on a couch in the party scene that becomes the massive tent-like dress of Mother Ginger in the second act.

“I don’t know if the audience will catch it, but it is fun for us,” Hynes said.

One ballet tradition is that the dancer who first dances in a costume has his or her name sewn

into it. When the Colorado Ballet would rent costumes from a big company, like American Ballet Theater, Ramos said he’d sometimes find the names of great dancers, like Mikhail Baryshnikov or Angel Corella, in his costume.

“It is very rare to have a costume made on you,” Ramos said. “It is so special to have your name in a costume. We are the first.”

Colorado Ballet’s “Nutcracker” runs through Dec. 24 at the Ellie Caulkins Opera House in the Denver Performing Arts Complex.

Usatch, an emergency medicine physician and medical director for UCHealth Hospital Highlands Ranch, said holiday injuries start early with the cold weather and continue with holiday decoration hanging through to Christmas, when presents are opened and can cause unexpected injuries.

Dr. Eric Hill, a HealthOne emergency room physician at the Medical Center of Aurora, said the holiday season is the start of winter, which means more ER visits with people who have slipped and fallen on icy, slippery surfaces.

While the Front Range has not had a lot of snowfall and cold weather so far this autumn, Hall said as more snowstorms and cold weather come in early 2022, doctors always anticipate an uptick in urgent care visits.

Besides cold weather bringing winter injuries, holiday-related injuries ramp up around Thanksgiving, which is the start of the holiday season, Usatch said. This

Each year nearly 200,000 ER visits due to toy-related injuries according to the Consumer Product Safety Commission.

is the time when families start putting out holiday decorations, hanging lights and signs.

Usatch said it is common for family members to venture into hanging lights and signs without someone serving as a spotter under the

ladder. Common injuries associated with decoration hanging includes bruises, lacerations and broken bones.

“Just be safe and ask someone to serve as a spotter,” Usatch said. “It is easier to have the help there than to fall and break something, get a concussion or have lacerations.”

Hill said as Christmas celebrations are held and gifts are given throughout the season, hospitals see a variety of toy-related injuries and issues.

According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), in 2020 there were 198,000 toy-related injuries that required a visit to a U.S. hospital. Of those, males accounted for 57% of those injured and 75% of the total injured people were under age 14.

Hill said one of his biggest concerns around the holidays is with babies and toddlers who regularly stick something in their mouth, ear or nose.

“Kids tend to put the small pieces from toys in various places,” Hill said. “Kids will start complaining about pain and problems. When they come to us, we find the pieces in the nose, ears or throat. These cases need special tools to fish them out.”

In situations where the child swallows a toy, Hill said the customary response from doctors is to wait. Doctors wait to see if the child can pass it naturally through a bowel movement.

In situations where a child swallows a magnet, such as the popular ball magnet toys, or a button battery, Hill said there is more concern.

“The button batteries cause more concern because their makeup can cause burning and pain inside the stomach,” Hill said. “The magnetic balls can attach and pinch the inside the intestine, causing bowel perforation. This can require surgery to fix.”

Usatch and Hill said hospitals

also see patients who are not used to the new toys and gadgets they get for Christmas. Without being used to a new bike, electric scooter, hover board or other riding toys, kids often fall and get hurt. Common injuries associated with riding toys can start with minor cuts and bruises or lead to more serious concerns with concussions and broken bones.

Usatch said a common rule of thumb for parents to follow with any riding toy is to make the helmet an accompanying gift.

Hill said he is always surprised with the older patients that come in on Christmas. It’s not just kids playing on the riding toys, he said.

“We have seen cases where grandparents will be out having fun and trying to ride the toys too,” Hill said. “This leads to them falling and getting hurt.”

Hill said in one case he managed, a 72-year-old grandmother tried to ride a hover board and ended up falling and breaking her hip.

Both Usatch and Hill said parents should read consumer studies on toys and gadgets, making sure they are age-appropriate and understanding the common injuries that are reported with each item.

Over the last few years, drones and flying toys have become a popular item. Either flying them inside or outside, Usatch and Hill said, inexperienced users can mismanage them and either hurt themselves or others in the process. Eye injuries are common with some of the flying toys, Usatch said.

This year, due to supply-chain issues, Hill said parents might be trying to find whatever they can, which means buying more generic, knockoff items that may be more unsafe than the name-brand options.

In this case, Hill stressed parents should pay attention to the consumer reports because generic versions could be more dangerous.

Two-year absence doesn’t deter Skyview Wolverines undefeated early in the season

BY STEVE SMITH SSMITH@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Skyview girls basketball coach Chris Kemm was pleased on two fronts on Dec. 8.

His Wolverines beat Bennett 63-8 in the opening round of the Santiago’s Shootout in Fort Lupton.

Skyview scored the first 24 points of the game and didn’t allow the Tigers to get on the board until early in the second quarter.

“It was a good start for our girls. I’m very glad,” Kemm said. ”Coach (Mike Rios) over there, he’s got the girls running pretty good. We wanted to make sure that their success and our success match pretty evenly. We wanted to keep our intensity up.”

What pleased him more was the start of the first girls’ basketball campaign in two years at Skyview. The Wolverines won their first four contests after sitting out last season because of coronavirus. Wolverines’ players joined other area high-school teams last year, and most played some form of club ball over the summer.

Nine players – Marina Boltz, Erica Jaramillo, Kiana Gutierrez, Miklyah

Espinosa, Victoria Munoz, Alexa Peraza, Emma Long, Jennifer Jaramillo and Janessa Ketteler – are seniors.

That’s a strength, according to the coach.

“One is not playing (because of injury), so we have a lot of game experience,” Kemm said. “Even though we didn’t play last year, eight of them got a lot of good game experience. We have five or six girls with 50 or more games on varsity.

That’s our biggest strength.

One of our weaknesses is learning to play together again.”

It had been more than 640 days between Skyview games.

“Not that anybody was counting,” Kemm laughed.

“When we tipped off the season, it had been 640 days since we played under the name. We had a lot of spring work and summer work. But it’s not the same. We had a lot of 20-minute halves, which is a lot of quick work.

You’re not getting the simulation of a game.”

Skyview drew a 3 p.m. start for its game against the Tigers after a late start to the school day. “it’s not fun,” Kemm said.

“Those things don’t mix well, especially in a tournament. I told them we had to start hard, just like our practices. It worked out for us. We wanted to keep working on fundamentals. We worked on five or six things that we really simulate in practice. Games like this?

You don’t want to disrespect your opponent. But you still want to work on things that can make us grow.”

The Wolverines beat Prospect Ridge Academy 56-16 in the championship semifinals Dec. 10 and won the championship over Fort Lupton Dec. 11. Espinosa was the most valuable play-

er of the tournament, She, Peraza and Long mmade the all-tournament team.

Skyview finishes its annual classic format tournament this weekend by hosting Ponderosa at 7 p.m.

Friday, Dec. 17.

“We know our schedule is going to get a lot tougher,” Kemm said. “We have a

huge gap between our veterans and our new players.

We ran two freshmen and a sophomore today, and they are our stars of the future.

It’s nice to have them learn from veterans like Marina and Miklyah and Lex (Alexa Peraza). They have a lot of good girls to loop up to.”

Stargate’s first loss of the season is a tough one

BY STEVE SMITH SSMITH@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Stargate (15) Dylan Perkins looks for teammate Bo LaPenna late in regulation time of the Eagles’ game against PHOTO BY HECTOR LOPEZ Fort Lupton Dec. 7.

FORT LUPTON – As is true of a lot of sports events, Stargate School had a win in its grasp. And then it didn’t.

Fort Lupton’s Omar Barron, who divided his time between the junior varsity and varsity squads last year. Joined the varsity full-time this year. His basket with 53 seconds left in overtime gave the Bluedevils a 57-56, come-from-behind win in the first round of the Santiago’s Shootout on Dec. 7.

“It was a set play,” he said. “It was a motion-stop.

So we pass the ball you cut, then wait right there for a second. I was open in the middle. I was wide open. I took the shot, and it went in.”

His 3-pointer also gave the Bluedevils a shortlived, five-point lead with 1:45 left in the fourth quarter. But two FLHS turnovers allowed Stargate’s Dylan Perkins and Bo LaPenna to tie the score and force the extra period.

Bryce Andrews converted a free throw halfway through the overtime to give Fort Lupton a one-point lead. Stargate’s Nathaniel Roling made a basket to give the Eagles a one-point lead with a minute to play.

That set the stage for Barron’s game-winner with 53 seconds left.

Barron led the Bluedevils in scoring with 17 points. Connor Moll had 14, and Diego Medina added 10. The Eagles’ top scorers were Roling and David Thumma, who poured in 14 points. LaPenna added

11.

“Our guys did everything we asked them to do,” said Stargate coach Jason Gray. “You’re going to win some like that, and you’re going to lose some like that. We did everything we could. These guys, regardless of wins or losses, show up and put in the work. I expect the same out of them tomorrow as I did today.”

“It’s a good win,” said FLHS coach Jim Roedel.

“We need to get over the hump and win a tight game. It’s always fun to do it early .. make mistakes and be able to come out on top? It’s always good early in the season.”

The Eagles’ roster includes seven underclassmen.

“We have some guards who are a little young,” Gray said. “They are a

little immature basketballwise. But they are growing. They’re going to pull through for us as the season goes on. We have five or six seniors who contribute, along with the underclassmen who contribute as well. It’s a great experience for our underclassmen to learn and actually build this program from what it was in previous years.”

Stargate bounced back Dec. 10 and beat Valley 7542 in the consolation round of the tournament. The Eagles also beat Prospect Ridge Academy 46-43 Dec. 11.

Stargate closes out the pre-holiday part of the schedule with a home contest against Denver School of Science and Technology/College View. Tip time is at 7 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 16.

Aurora also expended additional sums for revegetation and continued farming of historically irrigated lands pursuant to the decree in Case No. 99CW169(A). On June 3, 2014, Aurora entered into an Intergovernmental Agreement with Otero County to clarify between the parties certain terms contained in the 99CW169(A) decree regarding revegetation.

3.2.3. Colorado River Basin. Aurora made the following diligent efforts with regard to its water supply system components in the Colorado River Basin that are necessary for continuation of its reusable supplies from the Colorado River Basin and are the source of the water for the exchanges sought herein. 3.2.3.1.

During this diligence period, Aurora prosecuted Case No. 16CW3022, Water Division 5. On September 17, 2017, the Division 5 Water Court entered a decree confirming diligence and continuing in effect the conditional water rights originally decreed in Case 88CW449, which comprise part of the Homestake Project. 3.2.3.3. During this diligence period, Aurora prosecuted Case No. 16CW3131, Water Division 5. On June 18, 2017, the Division 5 Water Court entered a decree confirming diligence and continuing in effect the conditional water rights originally decreed in Case 98CW270, which comprise part of the Homestake Project. 3.2.3.4.

During this diligence period, Aurora prosecuted Case No. 17CW3064, Water Division 5. On June 10, 2018, the Division 5 Water Court entered a decree confirming diligence and continuing in effect the conditional water rights originally decreed in Case 95CW272-A, which comprise part of the Homestake Project. 3.2.3.5. During this diligence period, Aurora assisted in the filing of an application and litigation of Case No. 20CW3024, Water Division 5, seeking a decree making conditional water rights absolute in part, confirming diligence and continuing in effect the remainder of the conditional water rights originally decreed in Case CA1193, which comprise part of the Homestake Project. 3.2.3.6. During this diligence period, Aurora entered into an Agreement and Intergovernmental Agreement with Colorado River Water Conservation District, Basalt Water Conservancy District, Board of County Commissioners of Eagle County, Board of County Commissioners of Pitkin County, Grand Valley Water Users Association, Orchard Mesa Irrigation District, and the Ute Water Conservancy District, effective date August 1, 2018 (the “Settlement Agreement”). Inter alia, the Settlement Agreement addressed resolution of 09CW142, Water Division 2, amongst certain parties thereto, and is filed in the Court’s file for Case No. 09CW142. As contemplated and limited by the terms of the Settlement Agreement, Aurora filed an application in Case No. 19CW3159, Water Division 5, seeking judicial determination of appropriative rights of exchange by which 900 acre feet of water of the Twin Lakes Reservoir and Canal Company (“Twin Lakes”), available to Aurora via its share ownership and over which Aurora has maintained dominion and control in any one year will be moved as follows. Water from Grizzly Reservoir will be placed into Lincoln Gulch, a tributary of Lincoln Creek, or bypassed from the Twin Lakes system’s Roaring Fork River basin facilities into other tributaries of the Roaring Fork River, and then exchanged from the confluence of the Roaring Fork and Fryingpan Rivers upstream on the Fryingpan River to Ruedi Reservoir and an additional exchange, as a component subset of the 900 acre feet, up to 450 acre feet in any one year from Ruedi Reservoir upstream to Ivanhoe Reservoir located upon Ivanhoe Creek for subsequent movement into Water Division 2. 3.3. Non-Basin Specific Efforts. 3.3.1. Study of Aurora’s Water Needs. Aurora spent approximately $1,077,000 toward engineering and planning studies to assist in determining the City’s future water needs and a plan to meet those needs, including treatment and distribution studies, various conservation studies and developing its Non-Potable System Master Plan. This study will increase the overall efficiency of Aurora’s operations. 3.3.2. Aurora Raw Water System Model. Aurora spent additional sums for consultant fees to develop and support a computer model of Aurora’s raw water system. These costs are in addition to the modeling efforts included in the engineering and planning studies identified in paragraph 3.3.1, above.

3.3.3. Protection Efforts. Aurora spent approximately $500,000 for legal services for participation in Water Division 1 cases to protect the rights and interests of Aurora with regard to its water supply system, including the subject groundwater and exchange rights. 3.4. Other. Aurora reserves the right to identify additional relevant efforts that may be later discovered or to make upward adjustments to amounts expended on certain projects.

Aurora has an extensive water rights portfolio, an extensive and complex water supply, collection, treatment and reuse system, and an extensive number of agreements, contracts, leases, etc. related to its facilities and the use, reuse and storage of its water rights. It is involved in many legal actions related to the collection, treatment, reuse and protection of its water rights. Further, the management, protection, and operation of the water rights and the facilities system involve numerous City of Aurora departments and staff members throughout the state. Aurora made diligent efforts with regard to this application to determine and quantify all efforts made by the City toward completion of the appropriations and application of the water rights decreed in Case No. 13CW3169 to beneficial use. However, it is reasonably possible that relevant efforts or expenditures may have been overlooked or need further upward adjustment. 4. CLAIM TO MAKE ABSOLUTE.
