Anticipation remains high for the opening of Prost Brewery’s new brewhouse and biergarten at the Northglenn Marketplace. While residents and craft beer enthusiasts monitor the progress, the brewery’s presence is also presenting opportunities for other businesses.
Hutensky Capital Partners has owned Northglenn Marketplace for the past six years and continues to revitalize the area. Brad Miller, vice president, asset management, said HCP has experienced a demand to ll vacancies since Prost’s declaration as a tenant.
He said, “We continue to see strong interest since announcing Prost to the lineup along with our recent additions.”
Miller explained that the center has seen a total of approximately 75,000 square feet of new retail in addition to Prost’s 58,847 square foot facility.
He also mentioned due to the recent bankruptcies of Bed, Bath
& Beyond and Tuesday Morning, the marketplace is currently 15% vacant. ose businesses accounted for 6% of space alone, but he said there are new tenant proposals that are being evaluated.
To ll the additional space, he said HCP envisions “adding more food and beverage concepts, recreation, entertainment, boutique tness and retail” to complement the brewery.
“With the available small shops surrounding Prost, we view this as great opportunity,” Miller said.
Prost’s investment into the facility and area over the next 10 years is expected to reach $25 million, and the brewery anticipates adding 200 new jobs and attracting around 300,000 visitors a year. e redeveloped space is set to be the brewery’s new headquarters, and in addition to its quality German-style beer, it will o er food, live music and special events.
e brewery is also obtaining around $6 million in nancial support from the Colorado O ce of Economic Development and International Trade Executive, the city of
Northglenn, the Northglenn Urban Renewal Authority and HCP.
Miller shared that HCP is investing in build outs for new tenants and new lighting and signage to enhance the shopping center as a whole.
Other businesses already established in the area have taken notice to the changes.
Dean McVay, store manager at Forma Furniture, said about HCP, “ ey seem to be doing everything they can to really turn the shopping center around.”
Forma is a local Colorado business that began in Fort Collins and also has a location in Boulder. McVay said the store has done well in Northglenn, but believes that Prost entering the area will help the backend of the shopping center.
“It’s tough to make it in that back area unless you’re a big-time operation, which I think Prost will be able to be … really draw in just a huge amount of clientele,” McVay said. “We’re very excited for them to really bring in some new clients to this area.”
“Northglenn is on the up and up,” he added. “I think it’s de nitely a huge boost, not just for the shopping center, but just for the surrounding areas in general.”
Northglenn Marketplace is a mix of large chains such as dd’s Discounts and Five Below and local businesses including Forma, Mountain Man Nut and Fruit Co. and recent additions Vivid Beauty Clinic, Scissorhands Color Studio and Mochinut Donuts.
e shopping center is conveniently located o I-25 for visitors to reach the current businesses and the future biergarten. Not only will Prost provide a multi-entertainment destination for Northglenn residents and visitors, it may in uence other local or Colorado-based businesses to lease current vacancies at the Marketplace.
“We believe Prost will help us continue attracting unique local businesses to the center,” Miller said.
Prost isn’t just building a new location, it’s helping to reshape a community, even before its doors are open.
As the Labor Day Holiday weekend and the end of summer approach, the Colorado Department of Transportation, Colorado State Patrol (CSP) and local law enforcement agencies are conducting the Labor Day Crackdown enforcement period now through Sept. 6. e crackdown o cially began Aug. 16. Spanning 21 days, this is the biggest DUI enforcement campaign of the summer. More 70 law enforcement agencies across the state will be participating in the crackdown.
DUI enforcement periods, which include increased patrols and checkpoints, have seen 3,025 arrests this year. ere were 694 arrests during the same Labor Day enforcement period last year. e recent Summer Strikeout enforcement period, which ended on July 19, concluded with 190 arrests. Additionally, as of
Aug. 1, there have been 119 fatalities involving an impaired driver so far this year.
“As we head into the nal days of summer, make a plan before you head out. Boating? Sober ride. Barbeque? Sober ride. Pool party? Sober ride,” said Col. Matthew C. Packard, chief of the Colorado State Patrol. “Labor Day may be the last holiday weekend of the summer season, but don’t make it your last holiday forever.”
To help Coloradans plan a safe ride, CDOT, the Governors Highway Safety Association (GHSA) and Uber are providing $10 Uber ride credits during the Labor Day enforcement period. Valid while supplies last, the ride credits are available statewide and can be redeemed using the code “RIDEWISE” in the Uber app from Aug. 31 at 5:00 p.m. through Sept. 9 at 11:59 p.m. To apply the credit directly to the Uber app from a mobile device, click here.
Riverdale Ridge Principal Cody
Clark said he’s excited for his current batch of high school students to use the school’s new STEM and Career and Technical Education Center but he’s more excited for the students too young to use the school —for now.
“I think I’m most excited for that current 27J second grader who does yet know that when they grow up, they can be an athletic trainer or a welder or a mechanic for a
chef or a computer program or a CNA or anything else o ered in these halls,” Clark said.
Clark joined Riverdale Ridge parents and students, teachers and o cials from the 27J School District to o cially open the school’s new CTE building, a 47,910 square foot, two story building just across the parking lot from the main high school.
He led a similar ceremony a year ago as work on the building was just getting underway. e addition is one of three STEM and career and technical buildings going up at each of 27J’s three high schools. e department broke ground on a 55,950-square foot addition at Brighton High School and a 47,500-square-foot addition at

ey were part of a 2021 bond of $550 million that voters approved in 2021. 27J Superintendent Dr. Chris Fiedler said he’s grateful to votes who supported that bond.
Fiedler said that one of his favorite things is how close to the main school the career and technical school is located, just a ve-minute walk for a student. Technical high schools used to be located a bus or car ride away.
“We made a conscious choice so that a student can take their language arts course across the street, walk over and take whatever CT course they’d
like and go back for history or whatever other traditional course,” Fiedler said. “Before, taking a technical class was a di cult choice because a student had to miss a class on either side of their technical class because they had to travel to get there. Not every pupil is able to do that.”

Junior Kyli Kisiel said she is in her third year taking biomedical classes with plans of working in health care when she graduates.
“In just two short years, I have been able to foster some of my closest friendships and learn more about myself and the person I hope to be,” she said.
On a warm August morning, the line at Growing Home’s food pantry is already long. People start gathering at the back of the building in Westminster up to two hours before the doors open. ey’re there to shop for nutritious foods they otherwise struggle to a ord.
Richard Cruz and Cassandra Crockett are among those who have come for help. ey live together in ornton. Cruz works full time as a delivery driver. Crockett used to work full time as a chef but had to stop due to a disability and she ran into health insurance problems.
“It was just too much and I couldn’t get my medicine and you have to wait so many days to get on insurance. is time, it broke me down,” Crockett said.
Even with Cruz putting in extra hours, the couple rely on Growing Home’s food pantry. ey have two kids at home.
“Everytime you go to the store, food prices go up,” Cruz said. e two gure out ways to stretch what they have.
“Always have a bag of potatoes,” said Cruz.
Cruz and Crockett aren’t alone.
One in eight residents and one in ve children in surrounding Adams County face food insecurity, according to the local Health Department. Adams County includes Northglenn, ornton, Westminster and a wide array of suburbs and rural areas.
Prices of food increased by 10.3% in 2022, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, which tracks in ation. And, in the rst half of 2023, they increased by 8.2%.
In addition to prices, distance is a factor in getting good food. For Cruz and Crockett, the closest grocery store is ve minutes’ drive away. But without a car, it’s at least a 20 minute walk each way.
Luckily, they can use their car.
Like Cruz and Crockett, across the
Inflation has pushed the cost of food up for Coloradans. The rise started in 2022, with a more than 10% increase in food prices from the year before, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, which tracks inflation’s e ects on consumers. While the trend has softened so far this year, food prices remain up significantly. While the steep rise in prices slowed this summer, it only exacerbated concerns for those most at risk for hunger. And there are a lot of people at risk. By the measure of the nonprofit Hunger Free Colorado, one third of the state’s residents are “food insecure,” meaning they don’t have consistent and reliable access to food that’s healthy for them.
That statistic includes many children and while money is a factor for families struggling to put a nutritious meal on the table, so is something else: their proximity to grocery stores, particularly super markets, where they can find an abundance of food at competitive prices. Colorado Community Media found neighborhoods in Thornton, Northglenn, Westminster and Adams County in “food deserts.” These are places that are far from grocery stores. Our two-part series, “UNFRUITFUL,” will look at what is causing the situation, who is a ected, the e ects in communities and some solutions at play locally.
region, there are pockets where residents must travel over a mile to get to a grocery store like King Soopers, Safeway or Walmart. In some instances, that distance can be closer to 2-3 miles.
It may not sound like a big of distance, but a mile can be the difference between regular access to nutritious food, limited access —or none at all.
Many in need can’t a ord cars or can’t drive for other reasons — including their health — and options like cabs or rideshare apps can eat up the limited funds they have for food. Public transportation options are limited and di cult for people to rely on, particularly those who have disabilities, limited mobility or children.
“If you’ve ever bought your groceries and tried to take them on a bus, that is incredibly challenging,” said Rachel Sinley, associate professor of nutrition at Metropolitan State University of Denver.
It all adds up to a situation where some residents across the county
live in “food deserts,” she said. ose are areas where there is no or limited access to healthful, nutritious, a ordable food.
Food deserts consist of three big barriers: income, transportation and access.
It’s de ned by government sources as an urban area where 33% of the people living in a census tract reside more than one mile from a supermarket or other food source. For rural areas, the de ned distance is 10 miles.
“For a lot of suburban areas, a mile is still pretty far if you don’t have access to reliable public transportation or access to transportation,” Sinley said. e de nitions are limiting, though. An area with more supermarkets but less access to reliable transportation may be as much of a food desert as an area with fewer supermarkets but better transportation options, she said.

Whatever terminology is used, food accessibility and affordability are an apparent issue across Adams County’s western suburbs.
For instance, people in the south parts of Westminster continually raise concern about the problem. The city’s lowest median household incomes of about $54,000 are in the 80030 and 80260 Zip codes..
The Westminster-based nonprofit, Growing Home, which helps feed people in need, found that 69% of respondents to a survey from those Zip codes in south Westminster said cost is the biggest barrier to accessing food. And, proximity was an underlying issue. More than 88% said smaller markets closer to home are too expensive.
“Deserts occur naturally, but the lack of food accessibility is not something that is a natural occurrence. This is based on the actions of human beings that make specific choices,” said Whitney Leeds, a manager for Growing Home.
The organization also has found that 59% of people walk, take the bus, catch a ride with a friend, or even use a motorized wheelchair to go shopping.
“None of these transit options are ideal,” the study said, especially considering that about a quarter of survey respondents said they have to travel 3 or more miles.
Some of those disproportionately affected are people of color. According to data from the State Demography Office, about 53% of residents in 80030 are people of color. That Zip code is mostly in Westminster but also includes part of Arvada. And, about 67% of residents in neighoring 80260 are people of color. That Zip spans between Westminster, Federal Heights, Northglenn and Thornton.
Meanwhile, in nearby 80023, which stretches into the northern parts of Westminster and Thornton, and a section of Broomfield, the median family income is $139,926. Residents there are 75% White and far less likely to live a mile or more from grocery stores.
“We can’t address the food desert issue if we don’t address some of the other inequities that are contributing to it,” Sinley said.
Defining grocery stores is a snap
As a child, Itzel Santana-Morfin’s dad was deported. Her mom was left to raise four children and the family eventually lost their home.
Santana-Morfin remembers days when her mother didn’t eat so her children could.
The family struggled with various moves to multiple motels while facing homelessness and hunger. But her mom eventually bought a home and got the family back on their feet.
Now, Santana-Morfin runs a food bank at Legacy High School in Broomfield called Zeus’ Vault that also provides other basic necessities like soap and clothes. Having food banks at schools is a new initiative with Food for Hope to help families across the Adams 12 School District.
“‘What did we need when we were in this situation?’” Santana-Morfin said, referring to her own past. “I can give those things to you without you really having to ask me. You can tell it means a lot to people.”
Despite Legacy High School’s location in a wealthier area than other parts of the north metro area, there’s a growing need at the school.
Right now, she helps about four families per week with food, clothes and other resources. But the program is only about a year old and she thinks the number will grow.
“What a lot of people don’t realize is that Legacy also serves two trailer parks that are pretty close to it,” she said. “They’re both down the street. And obviously those neighborhoods are filled with families that need more help.”
Nearby school food bank startups have grown fast. For instance, the Northglenn High School food bank, which began in 2020, serves up to 150 students a month, translating into as many as 600 family members.
A common theme Santana-Mofin has heard among students and families who need more help is the rising cost of living. Another is transportation to grocery stores. Some families lack a vehicle, either because they broke down and can’t afford to fix it or they simply don’t have one, which makes getting to the store a challenge.
But what makes a grocery store? The key is fresh and nutritious food. Can it be both a Safeway and a corner store?
Possibly. It depends what they offer, says Sinley at Metropolitan State University of Denver.
A way to measure that is SNAP
benefits. SNAP is the federal Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program that provides funds each month for low-income households to purchase food.
To be allowed to accept SNAP, retailers need to offer a certain variety of food.
“There are some convenience stores that could qualify, but there’s some that certainly wouldn’t just based on the offerings that they have,” Sinley said .
Sinley, who used to work for a large grocery store chain, said executives meet in conference rooms and talk about surrounding neighborhoods. When they see low-income housing built, a concern about incomes comes into play, but also stereotyping of people who live in those types of housing. Crime is another factor. If crime is high, some retailers will limit hours or even close, making it harder for people to access food.
Congresswoman Yadira Caraveo, a Democrat who represents communities in Northern Colorado’s 8th District, hosted a roundtable in July to talk about food accessibility issues. She took issue with stereotypes about those in need, particularly when they come from her peers in Congress.
“That is precisely what we hear, ‘They don’t want to work. They just use the services all the time because they’re easy to access,’” Caraveo said.
Caraveo said some politicians perpetuate views that people in need only want to eat junk food, like Cheetos.
That isn’t fair, said Lonni Byrd, Double Up Food Bucks manager for Nourish Colorado. Byrd said people she want fresh food from places like farmer’s markets.
“That just speaks volumes to them really desiring to… having food that was grown with integrity and that’s local,” Byrd said.
Caraveo added that stereotypes play into the hands of her opponents who don’t want to see SNAP benefits expanded.
“When you have certain ideas in mind, it’s very easy to dismiss it as a program and really to cut funding from it,” Caraveo said.
Leeds, who serves as advocacy and community organizing manager for Growing Home, said the facts defy the stereotypes. About two-thirds of the people who turn
to the food pantry have at least one person in their household working full time.
“Folks are working two, three, four jobs to make ends meet and they’re still not able to meet their food needs,” she said, citing skyrocketing inflation and housing costs in the metro area.
Rising need, diminished supply Nonprofits that attended the roundtable reported a rise in the number of people needing help as the cost of living has escalated. At the same time, because agencies’ own costs have gone up, too, thanks to inflation, they aren’t fully able to meet the demand.
Growing Home has seen a 25% increase in need since the start of the pandemic in 2020, said Co-CEO Veronica Perez, and now works to meet the needs of about 1,000 people a month.
“The demand isn’t stopping,” Perez said.
The organization has to turn people away because its monthly spending on food rose from $8,000$10,000 to $16,000.
Sarah Gregory is the public policy coordinator for Feeding Colorado, which represents five food banks and partners with 1,200 agencies. The end of SNAP emergency allotments in March left many people searching for new sources for food, and nonprofits scrambling. SNAP recipients are, on average, getting $90 less per month, according to state officials. And, a family of four gets about $360 less a month.
“Any decrease in SNAP means that there’s more folks at our doors and other food pantry doors,” Gregory said, adding that food banks can’t meet all the need alone.
“We weren’t set up to purchase this amount,” Gregory said. “We weren’t set up to sustain that amount of purchasing for this long and so we truly need the help of Congress to make sure we’re fulfilling our mission.”
It also means changes to how people are living their lives. Anya Rose, public policy manager at Hunger Free Colorado, said after talking with 1,000s of families regarding the SNAP program, three main themes stand out.
One is that people are opting for cheaper food, which is often less nutritious.
The second and third themes are recipients choosing medications, utility bills and other life costs over food, Rose said.
Brighton’s Rich Pierson is still bringing those kiddie rides to life, the kinds that once dominated the fronts of grocery stores, restoring and making unique custom rides for over ten years.
“My friend Gary and I brought Kiddie Rides USA 10-years ago but he passed away two years ago so I have been the sole owner for almost three years,” Pierson said.
Kiddie rides were rst invented in 1930 by James Otto Hahs in Sikeston, Missouri. He built a horse for his children as a Christmas present and called it the Hahs Gaited Mechanical Horse, according to Academic Accelerator Encyclopedia.
Hahs later discovered he could
make money with the ride and commercialize it. Since then, kiddie rides have been part of pop culture in stores, carousels and amusement parks.
Pierson’s Kiddie Rides USA debuted some time in 1975, long before he was involved. His friend Gary was looking for work and Pierson was helping him with the job search about 20 years ago.
“I found my friend Gary a job on Craigslist for a mechanic at Kiddie Rides. So, he’d worked for Kiddie Rides USA for over eight years before us buying it,” Pierson said.
Pierson said Gary told him the owner was selling Kiddie Rides USA and the building.
“He asked me if he wanted to do this, and I said sure,” Pierson said. “I love doing this job.”
e pair had experience in this kind of thing, building and designing haunted houses. For ten years, they built the “City of the Dead” at Mile High Flea Market. His interest in fun horror continues, he said.

“Now I run the makeup department at Terror in Corn in Erie, Colorado. I’ve been working with haunted houses for over 20 years,” Pierson said.
Art meets electricity
Pierson said he has a background as an artist and experienced electrician. He strives to make kiddie rides and sculptures that are fun, colorful and durable. He sculpts the outside using casting methods to make models.
“I use a berglass molds when creating the rides and do some restorations on kiddie rides. I’d rather get out of the stripping of paint business, it’s takes 90% of my time honestly makes it hard to turn things over fast enough so not hurting for money, “ Pierson said.
Pierson said he had done custom jobs. He built a shrimp cocktail with
saddles for an NBC Snapchat promotion and has also built custom rides for celebrities and businesses. He built one for Sir Michael Caine and another featuring custom work for 505 Southwestern Brands, a Green Chili sauce maker. He is currently creating a large bu alo for Vortex Optics.
Most of his customers are private parties or businesses.
His friend Lawrence Holguin and his dad help him around the shop.
“I have learned how to restore kiddie rides and make the sculptures,” Holguin said.
Every kiddie ride can be customized to accept various coin denominations and token size. ey can also create matching themes, custom colors and add the company logo.

SCL Health, the parent company for Brighton’s Platte Valley Medical Center, announced its plans to change its name to Intermountain Health earlier this year. e company nally made it o cial this week, unveiling new signs at its Brighton Clinic.
Dozens of city o cials, police ocers, re ghters and others attended a sign unveiling ceremony Aug. 16 at Platte Valley Medical Clinic on N. 50th Ave.
“I am pleasantly surprised with how many people we have here today,” said Mark Korth, president of the healthcare group’s Peaks Region, which covers Colorado and Montana. “ is is so amazing and it’s re ective of what we want this to be. We want this to be a really big
deal.”
e name change re ects the company’s merger last year with Salt Lake City-based Intermountain Healthcare. It combines SCL’s eight hospitals and 160 clinics across Colorado, Montana, Wyoming and Kansas with Intermountain’s 25 hospitals and 225 clinics in Utah, Idaho and Nevada.
New signs around the Brighton clinic and on ambulances will begin appearing soon as well as at hospitals and clinics across Colorado and the region.
Platte Valley President Jaime Campbell said she was honored that the medical group picked Brighton to unveil the new name and the new logo.
“Both companies have had history for providing good health care in locations similar to Brighton,” Campbell said. “ ey are as comfortable working in rural areas as they are in metropolitan market. ey know how to provide health care in growing communities and they have a legacy for being in their communities for a long time, just like Platte Valley. We’ve been here for over 60
years now, and we are more like a typical Intermountain hospital than some of our bigger counterparts.”
Platte Valley operates three medical clinics in the region. ose include the Reunion Family Medicine Clinic at 10569 Chambers Road and a walk-in clinic at 1450 Dexter St. in Fort Lupton. Platte Valley celebrated the construction of it’s latest clinics, Amber Creek at 136th and Quebec in ornton, in June.
What’s more, Platte Valley and all of healthcare group’s hospitals
will get new names. Platte Valley Medical Center will become Intermountain Health Platte Valley Hospital.
Wheat Ridge’s Lutheran Medical Center will get the same treatment, becoming Intermountain Health Lutheran Hospital. Denver’s Saint Joseph Hospital becomes Intermountain Health Saint Joseph Hospital and Lafayette’s Good Samaritan Medical Center becomes Intermountain Health Good Samaritan Hospital.

Gov. Jared Polis and a group of four Democratic state legislators called for more changes to Colorado’s laws governing homeowners associations following a Colorado Sun investigation published this week revealing how scores of HOAforeclosed properties have been sold at auction since 2018 for a fraction of their market value.
e result is homeowners lose much — if not all — of the equity they’ve built, e Sun found.
In a written statement, Polis said an HOA shouldn’t “drain a family or individual of their nancial savings.”
e governor’s o ce, in a news release citing e Sun’s reporting, said HOA foreclosures also exacerbate Colorado’s housing crisis.
“ ese recent accounts are heartbreaking and deeply troubling,” the Democrat’s statement said. “I continue to urge HOAs to be more exible — clearly, there is more work to do with the legislature and local communities to enhance the rights of property owners and protect people from being ripped o .”
State Rep. Brianna Titone, DArvada, said in the release that the legislature will be examining the issues raised in e Sun’s reporting with a newly formed HOA task force created by a bill she sponsored at the Capitol this year. “ ere are so many issues that can be solved through neighborly conversations and a little empathy,” she said.
State Rep. Lorena Garcia, an Adams County Democrat, said in a statement that homeowners associations “should not be in the business of auctioning or selling o people’s homes — they should be doing everything in their power to build happy, healthy, and safe communities.”
State Rep. Jennifer Lea Parenti, D-Erie, said in the release that “no one should face nancial ruin or homelessness due to a miscommunication or disagreement with their HOA.”
Finally, state Rep. Naquetta Ricks, an Aurora Democrat who sponsored a 2022 bill aimed at reducing HOA foreclosures, said in the release that “it’s clear there’s more work to do.”
“Coloradans are losing their homes, equity and are seeing their
credit scores irreparably damaged by foreclosure forced by HOAs,” Ricks said.
e Sun’s investigation found that HOAs have led roughly 3,000 foreclosure cases since 2018, more than 250 of which — or roughly 8% — have resulted in properties being auctioned o . At least 100 of the properties auctioned o were sold for $60,000 or less, according to court records.
While Ricks’ bill has cut down on HOA foreclosure lings, people are still losing their homes now in cases led before the law went into e ect in August 2022.
Homeowners associations are typically nonpro ts whose boards are made up of property owners in HOA-governed communities. But they’re often operated by private, for-pro t property management companies.
e HOA foreclosure process can span several years and begins when a homeowner who lives in an HOAgoverned community doesn’t pay their monthly dues or doesn’t pay their assessments to cover the cost of improvements or repairs to common areas, such as pools or parking lots.
An HOA is required to notify a homeowner of their debt three times — by certi ed mail, by a notice posted at the property and by either rst-class mail, email or text.
If the payments still aren’t made, the HOA can proceed with court action to seek a lien. e HOA lien takes priority over most every other debt on a home, including a mortgage. Once a homeowner’s unpaid balance grows to the equivalent of six months of their regular HOA dues, the association board members can vote to initiate a judicial foreclosure. (Not every HOA board takes this step.)
Aaron Goodlock, an attorney representing the Colorado Legislative Action Committee for the Community Associations Institute, told e Sun that HOAs rely on payments from homeowners to pay for everything from insurance dues to upkeep of common elements, like roofs, elevators and plumbing.
“Any lack of predictability in determining revenue makes budgeting problematic,” he said. “When owners fail to pay, the burden of paying HOA expenses, such as maintenance and insurance, is inequitably
shifted to other homeowners in the community. Moreover, if a community has a high delinquency rate, it can directly adversely impact the ability of homeowners to qualify for and obtain conventional nancing, especially for rst-time homebuyers, due to the association’s poor nancial health.”
Court proceedings can last six months or more before a judge rules that a home should be sold to cover the unpaid debt owed to the HOA. e properties are auctioned o by county sheri ’s o ces, but the sales are di cult to track because they are advertised in the legal sections of low-circulation print newspapers and often don’t happen on the days they’re scheduled.
Bidding starts at the amount a homeowner owes to an HOA, which can be as little as a few thou-
sand dollars before ballooning with attorneys fees, interest and court costs. Attorneys fees frequently make up a quarter or more of what a homeowner eventually owes their HOA.
A homeowner only receives money from the auctions if their property is sold for more than what the HOA is owed and generally only if the auction price is more than any other liens on the property. If there is an outstanding mortgage, any money bid on a property over the HOA debt balance is supposed to go to the lender.
Since homes are auctioned o for so much less than their market value, homeowners are lucky to recover even their downpayment in an HOA foreclosure auction.
There are two new candidates expressing their intent to run for Westminster City Council in November. Kristine Ireland, who lives in the Lexington Subdivision and William Scott Shilling, who resides in the Ranch Reserve, have led their registration papers with the City Clerk’s O ce. Assuming all candidates submit su cient petitions to run for o ce (a staggering total of 25 valid signatures are required) by the 5:30 pm deadline on August 28, there will be ten candidates vying for the three council seats (Mayor McNally’s term is not up until 2025).
On the opposite end of the political spectrum are incumbent Bruce Baker, Kristine Ireland and Scott Shilling. With both Ireland and Shilling ling their intent with the city clerk, the slate of three was unveiled in a very recent campaign yer. Incumbent Rich Seymour and candidates Je Jones, Karen Kalavity and Karl Merida are not running in any slate.
each group focuses on in their campaigns.
In an ideal world, everyone gets along.
Ireland previously ran for city council in 2021, but was unsuccessful. Shilling is new to Westminster city government participation. So, welcome folks. e party is just getting started!
Unfortunately, city council candidates are “choosing up sides” so to speak in the November race. e three liberal candidates, Claire Carmelia, Amber Holt and Tim Pegg, are running as a slate under Councilmember Obi Ezeadi’s direction.
Lessons from U.S. soccer
Yes, we are truly disappointed at the news of the U.S. Womens’ National Team being eliminated from contention for the World Cup of Soccer. And in the next few months and even years, there will be plenty of recriminations regarding the team, the coaching, the substitution strategy, et al. ere is, however, something to note in this year’s contest which may have escaped most observers’ attention.
I have two recollections about the U.S. winning the rst Women’s World Cup in China in 1991. Firstly, few people even knew the tournament existed. Secondly, and almost
e three liberals have let their opposition be known at city council meetings on various issues. With the three conservatives, I am speculating that Baker organized their slate and often is the lone “against vote” on where the city council wants to go on addressing issues. Ireland previously was an active “Water Warrior” in the recall election triggered by high water rates. I am aware that she and her husband proposed to city council a wards/districts plan to change how city council candidates would be elected.
We have the same thing going in the Westminster Public Schools Board election. I hate to see partisan candidate slates run for local o ce. While voters can certainly select their choices out of all the eligible candidates on the ballot, it is too easy to follow the lock-step thinking of “voting the party line.” I guess I am old fashion since I have always thought we should vote for the best candidates and not the party.
It will be interesting to see what
I am not saying everyone has to agree on every issue, action or position. Far from it! A variety of perspectives within an organization such as a city council is healthy and productive. It widens perspectives, generates better decisions and creates “ownership” among the participants.
However, Council Member Bruce Baker just simply doesn’t get it, and he doesn’t seem to care. I have found Bruce intelligent, articulate, boastful, arrogant, stubborn and without compromise. Also, on some occasions, I have heard him provide some good constructive ideas.
However, his civility is lacking and I have told him so more than once. With his caustic approach, it can lead to a heightened debate (or argument) from one or more of his peers on city council. Granted, this city council has seven diverse members. I would venture to guess that it is the most diverse city council since the Council-Manager Plan was adopted by the voter in 1958. But that doesn’t mean or allow for uncivil conduct or name calling such as “liar” to take place.
I recognize that the 2023 city council candidates’ have started
their campaigns. With that, the temperature and the tenseness go up. I used to tell the senior sta that this time of year was the “silly season” and you could expect candidates as well as the seated city council to say or do unorthodox things. ere are some recent incidents generated by Councilmember Baker which have caused the temperature and tenseness to rise. is city council needs its full attention on the issues in front of it. e voting public expects such focus. I would hope that Council member Baker will apologize to City Manager Freitag for the slur he made and tone down his caustic statements. You can o er a di erent opinion without calling names and making accusations.
Initial ballot proposition on wards/districts headed to ballot
At the August 14 Westminster City Council meeting, the council unanimously voted on rst reading ballot language to initially address whether or not voters favor some type of wards/districts system to elect their city council members.
e second reading of the ordinance will take place on August 28 to lock in the following ballot language: “Shall the Westminster City Council propose by 2026 a system of electing some or all City Council members from geographic wards
certainly in consequence of the rst point, there was no celebratory reception committee for the worldbeating U.S. team when it landed back in America.
Since then, the U.S. women have won the quadrennial title three times. is is not a record to treat with scorn or even apathy. And given comparison with the U.S. men’s unimpressive record, it is a series of accomplishments to be celebrated.
So why am I not joining the chorus of betrayed expectations even now building in volume?
It’s because the performance and achievements of the U.S. Womens National Team over 30-plus years
have, to a large extent, been responsible for the women’s sport being internationally what it is today: not a disregarded sibling of the men’s version as is true in many other sports, but a standalone that features some of the best examples of play you will ever see.
At one point, given the strength of the U.S. Womens Team, it somewhat resembled the North American Soccer League of the 1970s/80s, which consisted of the New York Cosmos starring Pelé, Beckenbauer and others… and then the rest of the league.
But over the years other nations, having seen the U.S. women’s success at close quarters, put great
amounts of e ort into developing and growing their women’s teams, to the point where the sport was transformed. It has now evolved into a hierarchy of equals, with the Swedish, English, Japanese and other teams performing as well or better than ours.
We can be disappointed at last week’s result, but should temper our feeling with the understanding that this sport has matured to this superlative level largely due to the work done and example set by generations of U.S. women soccer players.
rather than at-large.”
If this rst step is successful, then the council would place de nitive language on a future ballot which spells out the preferred plan i.e. all six elected from wards, three from wards and three at-large or some other con guration.
As you may recall, the previous city council (2021) put a proposed city charter change regarding wards/districts on the November ballot.
In my opinion, it was purposely convoluted including creating a special commission to determine what speci c plan would be submitted to the voters in a future election. e ballot issue clearly failed, which I believe was the intended outcome. is latest attempt is straightforward and does not include any commission. Council has stated they intend to involve the public in the education and crafting a speci c plan if the rst question passes on November 7. I hope you will join me in voting in favor of this approach.

Aurora city council opposes strong mayor proposal
If you have been following this saga involving switching to a strong mayor form of government in Aurora, you will not be surprised to learn that the Aurora City Council has o cially taken a stance in opposition to the attempted change.
It is becoming more obvious that the current Mayor Mike Co man has been a major force in getting the proposal on the ballot. He believes it is time for Aurora to work under this approach, saying that Aurora has big city problems and needs control and authority vested in a single person to get the job done.
I don’t see the voters warming up to the idea. e current CouncilManager form of government is e ective in representing and serving the people of Aurora. Certainly Aurora has its problems, but changing forms of local government is not the right solution.

Creators across Colorado show positive impact of fairy gardens
BY TAYLER SHAW TSHAW@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
A tiny, magical place hides in plain sight by a residential sidewalk in Highlands Ranch, inviting guests to crouch down to get a better view.
Miniature tree trunk stumps lead the way to a small door near a sign that reads, “Fairy Garden.” Behind that door is a mystical land where fairies can gather, sit at a table, admire a pond, enter a small hut or hang out with other animals.
“I love kids, and there’s a lot of kids in our neighborhood. And I wanted something for them to just have fun with and see,” said Angie Gallagher, the creator of the fairy garden.
Fairy gardens hold magical powers beyond being a gathering place for mystical creatures — they are also a hub for people’s creativity, community and positivity.
“It gives us that hope,” Gallagher said. “It reminds us of the magic in the world, and I think we
need that.”
Scattered throughout Colorado, fairy gardens come in all shapes and sizes.
An elementary school in ornton, Riverdale Elementary, had students in an after-school club create potted fairy gardens to be placed in the school courtyard.
In the west metro area of Golden 7-year-old Juniper Kenyon’s eyes lled with wonder as she assembled her own fairy garden in a glass container alongside her 9-yearold sister, Olive, and her mother, Kelly at the Golden Library.
“I wanted to make a house for the fairies that we could put … outside so they could live in it,” Juniper said.
She said once she got back to her family’s home in Golden, she planned
to put a bed inside her garden for the fairies to enjoy.
e family was among about 20 participants in the library’s community workshop to make fairy gardens in late July.
“We really love fairies,” Kelly said. “I just think it’s fun that we’re all together and just being creative.”
Seeing the excitement and pride on the faces of children like Juniper and Olive as they made their fairy gardens was a highlight for Alada Ramsey, a librarian at Golden Library who helped with the event.
Making fairy gardens has been a big part of Ramsey’s family, she said.
“My kids always built fairy gardens at my house, and at … my mother’s house, and at my grandmother’s house” she said. “We’re constantly doing fairy gardens.”
When children are young, their imaginations can become enamored with the idea that fairies will come to the gardens and play, she said.
“It’s just so fun, and it also is a great opportunity to teach kindness,” Ramsey said. “Because if you can imagine that there are fairies and you can imagine what their needs and wants are, that’s all good for getting you out of yourself and into the world and opening yourself up to the natural world around you.”
Emily Due, also a librarian at Golden Library who helped lead the event, said she loved to see how intergenerational the event was, as there were young kids, parents and grandparents who participated and made their own fairy gardens.
“I wasn’t expecting the adults to get so into it,” Due said.
Putting together the fairy gardens consisted of putting pebbles, air plants, moss, seashells, stones and other decorations into a glass bowl.
Although everyone had access to the same materials, each garden ended up looking di erent, Due said, which highlights the artistic expression that is possible.
Due said she likes that so much of fairy gardens comes from folklore and mythology, which ties into the literacy elements that libraries want to promote.
“We have an opportunity to educate and maybe get them interested in stories that are already on our shelves, but then also, we’re encouraging them to play,” Due said.
In her research on fairy gardens, Due said she found out that some people believed that fairies were the rst magical creatures to inhabit British islands, arriving before humans had.
“When people came, the fairies got a little bit scared and so they went underground. And so, fairy gardens was a way for people to say, ‘Hey, come on back. Spend time with us,’” Due said.
Angie Gallagher, of Highlands Ranch, compared fairy gardens to bird baths and birdseed being o ered in people’s yards.
“It’s to help the birds with the migration, and it’s
kind of the same idea,” she said of fairy gardens.
In addition to assembling a fairy garden in the community, Gallagher has made fairy garden starter kits that she has given out to people, which included a sheet about fairies.
e sheet explained that fairies are all over the world, such as in Mexico, ailand, Russia, and the United States, and they are ying to new places all across the globe.
“I wanted the fairies to be multicultural because I’m half ai,” she said.
Gallagher said she had wanted to create a community fairy garden for a long time, gathering inspiration from the app Pinterest and getting materials from the dollar store and Amazon.
Part of the fun is having fairy gardens in little, unexpected places, she said.
“To have little pockets of fun is just really all you need to keep the faith,” she said. e community response to the fairy garden has been great, she said. e magical place really resonated with a few young girls in the community, who Gallagher said are obsessed with the garden.
“We see them all the time,” she said. “And they even started leaving notes, so then I would write little notes back.”
One note came after a rainstorm, and the girls expressed concern for how the storm may have impacted the fairies and their garden, wanting to make sure the fairies were OK, Gallagher recalled.
“ ey were so worried during the rainstorm about how the fairies were su ering,” she said. “So, I wrote a note back.”
Gallagher said she gave the girls ample fairy garden supplies beyond the starter kit, and the girls actually created a fairy garden not too far from Gallagher’s.
On top of the notes from young fairy admirers, Gallagher said she has gotten some notes from parents who are thankful for the time she has spent to feed their children’s creative minds.
“ at just brings smiles to our faces when we see parents or grandparents bringing the little kids,” she said. “I love hearing the kids talk about what they think fairies are about, or — they just start coming up with stories about who they think is living there.”
Gallagher does not put any gurines of fairies in her garden, wanting to reinforce people’s creativity as they imagine who the fairies are.
In the future, she plans to add to her fairy garden by creating new sections that incorporate di erent cultures, hoping to increase representation and expand people’s imagination of what a fairy may look like.
“I’m going to make a ai-based fairy garden, and then I’ll probably make one that’s a Parisian fairy garden,” she said.
She also hopes to add fairy gardens to some of the Airbnb properties her family owns.
“I think there’s always something really fun about just this idea of positive hope — that someone is looking out for you. It’s like another version of an angel,” Gallagher said of fairies. “It gives you hope to kind of move about your day with con dence.”
As we roll into late summer here in Colorado, we’re also entering the best time of year to be outside. ings are starting to cool o (just a little) and you can feel hints of autumn in the air. It’s a great time to focus on nature and e Garden Conservancy’s Open Days program is back to showcase the beauty of the natural world in small scale — with private gardens from around the metro area.
“ e mission of the program is to open up the private gardens of folks so they can share them,” said Dr. H. Horatio Joyce, director of public programs and education with the conservancy. “ is is something that most gardeners don’t get to do the rest of the year — share something that takes a huge amount of time.”
Presented by Denver Botanic Gardens, the Denver Open Day is on Saturday, Aug. 26 and features four new gardens: Grummons Desert Garden in Lakewood: is garden demonstrates the innovative possibilities of
a low-water approach to gardening.
SummerHome in Denver: An inner-city xeric pocket garden that aims to educate and inspire other gardeners, create a community atmosphere and discourage overdevelopment.
Jim and Dorothy’s Garden in Denver: A garden with about 10,000 homegrown western native plants, all of which highlight the importance of harmonious existence with native.
Pine Gardens in Centennial: is garden includes a rock/alpine garden, woodland patio, water feature and shade gardens. Each garden features a radically di erent approach to the world of gardening.
According to Joyce, what makes each of the Denver gardens special this year is they’re all nature friendly, so they take into their design and implementation the a ect they have on environment. is can mean planting with native species, cutting down on irrigation and other environmentally-friendly approaches.
“We’re in a really interesting moment all over the country,” Joyce said. “We’re seeing people learn how to garden in really beautiful ways, even faced with a lot of challenges.”
For those who attend, not only will they have a great reason to
spend some time outside, but they will hopefully come away with some ideas to try in their own gardens.
“Going to an outstanding botanical garden can be intimidating, and there’s something really scienti c about it,” Joyce said. “But during open days, the best part is always the people. Whether they’re new gardeners or advanced, it’s the gathering of di erent people and it’s a really inspiring and buoying experience.”

Cleo Parker Robinson grew up in the historic Rossonian Hotel in Denver’s Five Points neighborhood. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1995, the Rossonian Hotel catered to touring Black musicians during segregation. Parker Robinson lived in an apartment at the hotel, above a jazz lounge that hosted legendary Black musicians like Duke Ellington and Billie Holiday. She would go to sleep every night hearing music being performed by artists from around the country and the globe, taking in their energy and dreaming about how she would one day make her mark on the world.
“As a child, it felt worldly to me. I was always hearing classical music, jazz music and music from all over the world,” Parker Robinson said. “It just made me want to bring the world together all the time. I always felt like I wanted to be in the world. Growing up there was destiny.”
Parker Robinson has certainly made her mark on the world, particularly through her founding of Cleo Parker Robinson Dance (CPRD). Based in Denver, it is one of the world’s most well-known, reputable dance companies. With her company, she aims to honor the African Diaspora, explore the human condition, champion social justice, unite people of all ages and races, and ultimately celebrate the complexity of life through movement.
As part of her mission, CPRD each year hosts an International Summer Dance Institute for dancers of all ages and ability levels. e Children’s Global Camp teaches students more than a dozen dance genres through cultural movement. Past genres have included hip hop, capoeira, Celtic, Polynesian, West African, jazz, hula, modern, South Korean, amenco, ballet, Mexican folklorico and East Indian.
For more advanced dancers, CPRD o ers intensive master classes with some of dance’s most in uential artists. Guest choreographers come from all over the world to work with CPRD dancers during the International Summer Dance Institute. is year, CPRD welcomes omas Talawa Prestø, founder and artistic director of the Tabanka Dance Ensemble based in Oslo,
Norway. He is visiting as a guest choreographer and teacher of his Talawa technique of dance.
“ omas Prestø and I discovered that we have this connection, this powerful connection,” said Parker Robinson. “I’d been curious about Norway for a while. When I previously visited Iceland, I only met one Black person. When I met omas and he said he was from Norway, I said, ‘no way, I didn’t think there are any Black folks in Norway.’ When I met him at the International Association of Blacks in Dance, he was so hungry and so present. I connected with him immediately.”
Prestø said he felt the same about meeting Parker Robinson.
“Cleo Parker Robinson has been a lighthouse and inspiration to us across the Atlantic,” said Prestø. “Fate, God and the ancestors have brought the opportunity for us to work together. Together we will a rm dance as a catalyst for social justice and a refuge for the oppressed. rough movement yesterday arrives today, and brings tomorrow.”
Prestø’s Tabanka Dance Ensemble was founded in order to promote and represent the existence of Black personhood and identity in Norway and Scandinavia. As one of the leading institutions of African Diaspora dance in Europe and the Nordic countries, Tabanka seeks to advance the sector through sharing knowledge, practices and advocating for equity within the European and Nordic art sectors, as well as society at large.
Tabanka Dance Ensemble dancers specialize in African and Caribbean dance practices. ey are Scandinavian pioneers, carving a space for Black and Brown dance artists and challenging the normativity of the northern European dance and arts eld. Each dancer is also trained as a youth and community worker, and is highly committed to equity and inclusion, and work to ensure that economy, race, ethnicity and culture are not a barrier to participation.
‘Firebird’ and ‘Catch a Fire’
e Cleo Parker Robinson Dance Ensemble will be performing on Sept. 16-17 at the Ellie Caulkins Opera House in Denver, along with se-
lect members of the Tabanka Dance Ensemble. e program will include three performances: “Firebird,” choreographed by Parker Robinson; “Catch a Fire,” choreographed by Prestø; and the third performance was yet to be announced as of Colorado Community Media’s press deadline.
“To see this combination of what we’re doing with the Tabanka dancers from another culture is real education,” said Parker Robinson. “People get to embrace this beautiful thing of music and dance that we’re all a part of.”
Parker Robinson’s performance of “Firebird” will be set amid the enchanting Hawaiian islands, presenting an unconventional concept that departs from the traditional Slavic versions of the ballet. e essence of Pelé — the powerful Goddess of the Volcano — permeates the performance and introduces the presence of historical gures like King Kamehameha and Queen Lili’uokalani, paying homage to their signi cant contributions to Hawaiian history.
“I was invited to teach on the big island in Hawaii,” Parker Robinson said. “I didn’t know much about the culture at the time. Once I started working there, they invited me to dance on the edge of a volcano. I was terri ed (but) it was of the most invigorating, close-to-death experiences I’ve ever had. en I started teaching there, at the volcano, every year for 10 years. Hawaiian culture on the Big Island is just so alive.”
is experience inspired Parker Robinson, and in 1997, she choreographed “Firebird” for the Colorado Symphony, working with Marin Alsop, who was the principal conductor at the time.

tember performances, said Parker Robinson.
In addition to Parker Robinson’s “Firebird,” Prestø will present his original work, “Catch a Fire.” Inspired by both Parker Robinson and Bob Marley lyrics, the piece will be perfectly juxtaposed to “Firebird.”
“Bob Marley’s lyrics are all about consequence. ey’re about anyone in power catching the consequences of their actions. So all of the songs in the piece kind of have this commonality,” said Prestø. “‘Catch a Fire’ is also about catching the re that Cleo (Parker Robinson) has created. It’s about carrying on the torch to the next generation.”
For both Cleo Parker Robinson Dance and the Tabanka Dance Ensemble, Black representation in dance is of critical importance.
“Growing up, we didn’t see enough of ourselves in any of the media. I think it is very important to read about — and to understand — our culture from a deeper and broader perspective,” said Parker Robinson. “Growing up, what we were seeing in the media was pretty degrading and it wasn’t very realistic of who we were. We had a tremendous desire to know more about our culture. In Denver, we began to build a place for ourselves. Most of our young people didn’t have opportunities to work, to create, to be paid, to develop. I think for young people, this has become an opportunity to continue to evolve.”
Across the Atlantic Ocean, Prestø mirrors Parker Robinson’s sentiment.
“ ere is a weird paradox of this idea that Blacks naturally and inherently sing, and that we have natural rhythm. But at the same time, (that) we don’t have culture and our dance is just at a body level — it’s not cerebral, it’s not intelligent. It is something we do by instinct,
In support of the record, City and Colour will be stopping by Summit Music Hall, 1902 Blake St. in Denver, at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, Aug. 29. He’ll be joined by opener Jaye Jayle for a night that is sure to be powerful and enchanting.

something we’re born with,” said Prestø. “Black dance is important because it reclaims intelligence and reclaims culture. It a rms it for the Black body. at is an aspect that we don’t talk about enough. We have to counter that image that is still there.”
Both Parker Robinson and Prestø are looking forward to sharing their work with the community this September.
“We all have that re energy that helped us survive the pandemic. We all had that re saying, ‘I want to live, I want to be alive, I want to dance, I want to sing, I want to nd my passion,’” Parker Robinson said. “You’ll nd that re in the work. I think that kind of re empowers people and helps build community.”
Dennis Supple has done the math on everything demanded by Colorado regulators writing greenhouse gas e ciency rules for big buildings, and he’s certain his LoDo o ce would be lost in the equation.
e nonpro t he manages facilities for lls much of a classy brick and plate glass ve-story building built in 1985 and recently renovated. But the proposed Air Quality Control Commission rule for cutting emissions in buildings over 50,000 square feet would hand over a long punch list of expensive mandates, Supple said.
“Every window in this building would have to be changed, the exterior walls would have to be widened,” said Supple, speaking out against the rules from his role as president of the Denver chapter of the International Facilities Management Association. e draft rule has an e ciency target number in mind for his place, “and the amount of insulation between the walls and the drywall would have to increase almost two to threefold to hit that number. It’s not a simple number to hit.”
Total cost to comply?
“We gured it at about $6 million,” Supple said. “Yep. And that’s a $6 million outlay that no board of directors has in their budget, at this point in time, especially in downtown Denver, in a commercial building. You just don’t have an extra $6 million laying around. e vacancy rate in downtown Denver on o ce space is almost 24%. And then to throw this in?”
e air quality commission’s hearing and vote next week on proposed Regulation 28 — continued from the spring after a furious urry of com-
ments from owners thinking it went too far and green groups who said that wasn’t far enough — promises more heated rhetoric about climate vs. capitalism. e draft would impact more than 8,000 buildings across Colorado, seeking cuts of buildingrelated greenhouse gas emissions of 7% by 2026 and 20% by 2030.
e rule’s authors and advocates say heating, cooling and lighting big buildings is the next logical large target for greenhouse gas cuts, after Colorado has spent years going after coal- red power utilities, oil and gas production, fossil fuel cars and trucks, and other industries. Large buildings are responsible for up to 20% of greenhouse gas emissions, the state says, and that’s separate from the emissions created by the utilities serving the buildings.
e proposed rules would lock in place the intent of legislation passed in 2021. Building owners have spent the time since then measuring and reporting their “benchmark” emissions that will set the starting line for their required cuts.
“ e legislature was clear that these are reductions over and above the greening of the grid,” said Clay Clarke, supervisor of the climate change unit at the Air Pollution Control Division, whose sta is writing the rules for the AQCC to vote on.
“So you can’t just essentially ride the coattails of Xcel or whoever your electric provider is.”
Environmental coalitions largely support the proposed rules, if they can get new assurances before a nal vote. ey want language guaranteeing benchmarking of existing emissions will be accurate, and that the system will prevent double dipping by blocking building owners from acquiring renewable energy credits from utilities that invest in clean generation. ey want savings
in buildings to be over and above utility savings, as policymakers intended.
e Environmental Defense Fund led a prehearing statement saying it “supports adoption of a robust building performance standard to support the state’s GHG reduction goals via advancing building energy e ciency and electri cation. If well-designed, this type of policy can drive signi cant energy e ciency improvements and electri cation of space and water heating across Colorado, leading to emission reductions from business-as-usual levels.”
Colorado’s overall greenhouse gas reduction roadmap calls for emissions controls in all major sectors of the economy to reach the state’s targets of a 50% drop from the 2005 benchmark by 2030, and 90% by 2050, state regulators say. Big buildings must make a contribution, they said. “ ey can do it through e ciency, they can do it through electri cation, they can do it through some combination of those along with the use of renewable energy,” Clarke said. “What I can’t emphasize enough is this really is a win-winwin, because we’re reducing greenhouse gas emissions, but at the same time, our initial economic impact analysis shows that there will be $3 in savings for every dollar spent.”
e division’s led “rebuttal” to all the pre-hearing statements and objections $3.61 in bene ts for every dollar spent on capital costs to cut greenhouse gas emissions. e rebuttal assesses $6.4 billion in overall bene ts to the buildings program through 2050, including about $5.2 billion in energy savings and $1.2 billion in “avoided social cost.” e state’s projection puts total costs of making the changes at $1.8 billion over that time.
Building owners and trade groups have so far refrained from expressing gratitude. ey have taken to lengthy pre-hearing statements and a public editorial campaign to decry the high up-front capital costs of making the changes, and the looming pain for nonpro t owners like hospitals, governments and associations.
Building owners as a group are interested in e ciency because of the bene ts and cost savings, so they have already made the easier changes that make economic sense, Supple said. e trade groups complain about what they call a “one
size ts all” approach to the rulemaking by the state, that does not account for the vastly di erent ways building construction and building use play out across state industries. ere are many Denver building owners, especially traditional o ce towers with high vacancy rates after the pandemic changed work habits, who will simply walk away if engineers tell them they can’t economically make the state’s cuts and will face heavy nes, Supple said.
“When you’re a board of directors of a company that’s 1,500 miles away in Boston, and you have a building in Denver that’s going to cost you millions of dollars in nes if you keep it open, or you can simply board up the building and close it because you’d owe nothing, what are you going to do? It doesn’t make sense,” he said.
It’s not at all clear, either, Supple added, who will be able to take advantage of economic incentives from federal or local sources to retro t large buildings. Nonpro ts like hospitals, for example, can’t use some tax credits because they don’t report pro ts that can be taxed or refunded.
State regulators say they do not plan to emphasize the nes or other punitive measures in seeking compliance with the proposed regulations. ey say they’ve already worked extensively with building owners to get compliance on the existing benchmarking audits and requirements, and will continue emphasizing education and cooperation.
“ e initial posture here is really one of compliance assistance in working with these building owners to one become aware of the program, make them aware of all of the bene ts to utilizing the program, and the implementation of these e ciency measures and other measures to reduce greenhouse gas emissions,” Clarke said. “And the real cost savings that they will likely be able to see very quickly if they do implement these measures.”

Dave Williams may not be making any money as chair of the Colorado GOP, but he’s earned tens of thousands of taxpayer dollars in wages and bene ts since February working as a full-time aide to a state lawmaker.
Williams was paid $19,000 from February through mid-July as a legislative aide for state Rep. Brandi Bradley, R-Littleton, according to information provided to e Colorado Sun through an open records request. He’s also received about $11,000 in state-paid health, dental and vision insurance bene ts for himself, his wife and their children in the six months he’s served as an aide.
“I made a commitment to Rep.
Brandi Bradley and I’m going to nish my work with her,” Williams said. “She wanted me to be her policy adviser and help her learn the ropes, and I’m going to honor that commitment.”
Bradley hired Williams as her senior aide with a start date in early February, before he was elected Colorado GOP chair. Williams said he mainly advises her on policy. Bradley didn’t respond to Colorado Sun messages seeking comment. Only one aide per lawmaker may have senior status, which comes with state health insurance bene ts. Aides must work at least 36 hours a week to be considered “senior.” As of March, the middle of the session, there were 54 senior aides working in the House and 24 in the Senate out of the 100 lawmakers in the General Assembly. Aides are
typically younger people who are starting their career in politics.
“I made comments earlier in the session that I hope he’s not bilking big government for a paycheck,” said House Minority Leader Mike Lynch, the chamber’s top Republican. “And I hope he’s giving good advice.”
e Colorado GOP hasn’t paid any sta since Williams took over as chairman, something that hasn’t happened in at least 20 years. U.S. Rep. Ken Buck, of Windsor, drew a congressional salary when he led the Colorado Republican Party in 2019-20, but he didn’t take a salary as chair.
Williams has reported working 40 hours most weeks since he started his aide job, including after he was elected party chairman in mid-March. He and other legislative aides are paid $23 an hour as of July 1, up from $20 an hour previously.
“I’m working every hour that I’ve billed,” he said.
As of July 1, the state is also paying $2,151 a month for the insurance plans Williams selected, while he contributes $341 monthly. In the previous ve months, which was a di erent scal year, the state paid nearly $1,700 a month for Williams’ bene ts.
When Williams was a state lawmaker in 2021, he and other House Republicans voted against a bill to fund health bene ts for legislative aides.
Williams also is in the state’s public pension system as an aide. He joined the Public Employees’ Retirement Association during his six years as a state representative. He left o ce after an unsuccessful 2022 GOP primary challenge to U.S. Rep. Doug Lamborn, R-Colorado
Springs.
Williams isn’t the only Republican Party o cial working at the Capitol as a legislative aide. Weld County GOP Chair Hunter Rivera is an aide to Republican Sen. Barbara Kirkmeyer, and Morgan County GOP Chair Dusty Johnston is an aide to two Republican state senators. Legislative policy prohibits aides from conducting political work inside the Capitol complex or while working remotely on legislative tasks. e policy was amended in early July to include “political communications via social media, email, text or phone calls.”
A Colorado Sun review of 32 emails sent by Williams as party chairman from March 21 through July 10 shows all but six were sent during hours that he reported working for Bradley. However, Williams’ time cards said he took breaks ranging from one to seven hours during his legislative work days.
In a June 21 email, Williams announced “a resolution that admonished, rebuked, and reprimanded” Republican state Reps. Ron Weinberg and Rep. Rick Taggart, as well as Castle Pines Councilman Roger Hudson and Douglas County Commissioner Abe Laydon, for signing a letter admonishing Montana state House Republicans for banning a transgender lawmaker from the House oor there.
Hudson also serves as deputy chief of sta for the Colorado House Republicans. He brie y ran for Bradley’s seat in 2022 but did not make the primary ballot.

Prices continue to climb in the U.S., but few regions saw in ation grow faster than in Denver, which posted an annual in ation rate of 4.7% in July, according to the Consumer Price Index.
e Denver metro had the second highest rate next to Tampa, Florida, which was at 5.9%. e U.S., by comparison, was 3.2%, the same as New York’s. Los Angeles landed at 2.7% from a year ago, Hawaii at 2.1%, and Washington, D.C.’s hit 1.8%.
At least Denver’s rate is dropping, said Richard Wobbekind, a senior economist and faculty director of the Business Research Division at the University of Colorado. It’s fallen from 5.1% in May and 5.7% in March.
“ e trend is de nitely in the right direction,” Wobbekind said during a news conference this month. “Hopefully we are going to see some continued trend downward in some of the core in ation areas.”
With the national in ation rate still more than a point above the 2% desired by the Federal Reserve, interest rates are likely to remain high. And that’ll continue to challenge industries that are sensitive to interest rate changes, like construction, housing and the nancial sector.
“Getting that additional (percent-
age point) is going to be a tough road and that’s going to keep these interest rates elevated for a longer period of time. I think the higher interest rate environment is here to stay, at least for the foreseeable future,” Wobbekind said. “We don’t see the in ation rate coming down under that 3% signi cantly until next year.”
In Colorado, blame July’s in ation on higher energy and housing costs. Household energy services, which includes electricity and natural gas, hit particularly hard. ose costs grew 15.4% in a year, even as the same category nationwide fell 1.1% due to a 13.7% drop in the cost of natural gas.
e cost of shelter continues to be an issue in Denver, too. While housing costs rose less than energy, July in ation was at 10.4% for renters and 9.5% for owners, as part of the Bureau of Labor Statistics calculation called the “owners’ equivalent of rent.” ( e U.S. shelter in ation rate was 7.7% in July.)
In a typical year, the change in owners’ equivalent in rent is usually around 1%, said Julie Percival, a regional economist at the Bureau of Labor Statistics who tracks the Mountain Plains region.
And when shelter makes up 30% of what consumers spend as part of CPI, any increase can eat heavily into household budgets and have more impact than, for example, a
in uence completion of their assigned duties.”
gallon of gas increasing.
ere may be a silver lining for renters here, said Bill Craighead, the new program director for the University of Colorado Colorado Springs Economic Forum. Rent in ation is playing catchup from the incredible increases landlords levied on tenants in the past year.
“Since leases typically renew every 12 months, when there is an increase in rents, it only gradually a ects the average rent paid,” Craighead said in an email. “ is means that rent changes drive a lot of the in ation calculation but they do so with a lag. at is, we’re seeing the e ects of rent increases in 2022 still a ecting the data now.”
According to rent-tracking site ApartmentList, rents in Colorado Springs are down 3.9%, compared with a year ago. Denver’s are down
1.1% while the state’s is essentially at, dropping 0.2%. Some of the double-digit rent increases were landlords catching up because they couldn’t raise rents in the rst year of the pandemic.
Knowing the cycle of rents and how the BLS measures the cost of housing for homeowners and renters, Craighead feels the worst of in ation is behind us because “that leveling o in rents will start to pull in ation down over time,” he added. “ at’s one reason I’m pretty optimistic in ation will keep coming down.”
Gas prices, by the way, fell almost 20% in July from a year ago, which contributed to Colorado’s in ation slowing down. As of this month, however, a gallon of gas in Colorado

Williams said he never sent an email during a time he was billing the state for his job as Bradley’s aide. He said he sometimes schedules emails to be sent out in advance and has done Colorado GOP work during breaks.
“Emails were never sent on the clock,” he said.
Such emails could also be a violation of House rules for legislative aides, which specify that “partisan behavior is not tolerated among sta .” Rules of conduct also note that aides should “conduct themselves in a manner whereby personal beliefs or interests, or the interests of third parties, will not
Senate Minority Leader Paul Lundeen, R-Monument, said he believes legislative aides should be entry-level jobs, noting that the General Assembly meets only 120 days a year.

Optimism runs rampant as sports seasons begin, especially around the softball eld at Riverdale Ridge High School.
Ridge lost just one player (pitcher Aubree Davis) from a team that went 23-4 a year ago (15-1 in the class 4A Longs Peak League).
League rival Frederick High School knocked the Ravens out of the state playo s in the quarter nal round.
e cast of potential returnees – all juniors –includes Zoie Linvile, who
batted .382 a year ago, Jazmyn Sandoval, who batted .541 to lead the squad, Madyson Ortiz (.472 at the plate in 2022) and pitcher Brynn Trujillo, who won 10 of 13 decisions last year and compiled an earned-run average of 1.42 in 18 appearances covering 74 innings.
“ is could be our besthitting lineup,” said coach Ray Garza. He’s been the Ravens’ only coach in their six-year history. “Even if I put someone in the lineup from the bench, we don’t lose anyone. e tough part is going to be trying to play everybody.”
As the late news com-
mentator Paul Harvey said, “Here’s the rest of the story.”
“You’ve got the likes of Lutheran. You’ve got the likes of Windsor, Holy Family (defending state 4A champions),” Garza said. “ at’s a gauntlet. I know that’s down our path. ey are feeling the same way, that they brought everybody back but so did everybody else. We’re going to let the chips fall where they may. We’re going to have fun, but we’re going to work hard.”
Tegan Medina is a senior catcher for the Ravens. She batted .300 last season.
Tom Filippini was always a big fan of ping-pong as a kid and young adult. It’s easy to learn, largely accessible and can be addicting once you get started.
Unfortunately, his addiction to the game spread to a dangerous area. As an adult, he graduated to beer pong, which became a catalyst for the Chicago native’s alcohol abuse, which spanned several years.
e problem followed Filippini when he moved to Denver in the late 1990s. He nearly lost everything in his battle, but nally took a stand in 2016, when he had his last drop of alcohol. He’s been sober ever since, and eventually directed his energy to a passion project: a game he invented called Pepper Pong.
“What really my vision for this game was, going back 20 to 25 years, was something that you could play on any surface, and that anybody,
regardless of age or ability could jump in and compete and have fun,” Filippini said.
e game involves a portable plastic net that folds into itself for easy set-up. It also comes with larger, pickleball-like paddles and three di erent balls for three skill levels.
e balls are “more forgiving” than a light, super bouncy ping-pong ball, Filippini said. e game can be all easily packed into a small bag and played on any at surface, from a dinner table to the hood of a car.
Filippini made a name for himself around Denver with “Pong Island,” his pandemic-born creation in Cheesman Park. He set up a ping-pong table that quickly brought players, sparked by boredom during lockdowns.
He said he targeted a heavy-tra c area in the park, which became a go-to spot for people looking to socialize and play at a safe distance. at was hard to nd during COVID-19, especially for a game typically
played indoors.
Park visitors ocked and it became something of a cult classic in the community. Filippini knew he was likely breaking some ordinance, but the positive reviews were over owing (and more convincing).
But word of its popularity soon spread to Denver’s Parks and Recreation Department, who shut down the popular park spot. Also, the crowds were an issue (the city had taken down tennis and basketball courts as well to try and dissuade social congregating during the pandemic).
A park ranger had posted a notice on the “Pong Island” sign and table that Filippini put up, stating it needed to be removed or would be con scated by the city.
Filippini came forward as the organizer and took the table home, and Pong Island’s exciting, brief run was over. Since then, he has worked on his idea for his portable, outdoor, community kind of pickleball/
ping-pong game. After years of developing the game, Pepper Pong is o cially on the market.
I sat down with Filippini to discuss his story, his battle with alcoholism, and the origins and future of Pepper Pong.
Was Pepper Pong born out of your Pong Island idea, or are you riding the wave of pickleball’s popularity?
Actually, neither of those. I’ve always loved ping-pong. I started playing probably when I was six years old. It was always a basement game. In my 20s, we started hacking together di erent ways to play it and di erent balls to use. ere was a Nerf ping-pong game back in the 1980s. We really liked the ball that they used, but they stopped making it. Ultimately, ping-pong is a fantastic game if you have equal components, and if you have all the gear that’s all functioning properly, and you have enough room in your house to store a
ping-pong table. at’s why pickleball has become so popular; you can literally take a 20-minute lesson and start playing, and that’s how Pepper Pong is.
How did you come up with the name?
Just totally random, to be honest with you! When we started working on it, pickleball was kind of getting going. ere’s something kind of quirky about “pickleball.” What’s something about me that I could incorporate in the game? I was thinking speci cally about the Pepper Pong balls, because each set comes with three (at di erent di culties). I was looking at a bottle of hot sauce, you know that sliding scale on hot sauces sometimes, where it’s basically death at the top and super mild at the bottom? I was like, “Pepper Pong.” It allowed us to categorize the balls based on their spiciness.
e head football coach at Cherry Creek High School is also a member of eight halls of fame, including the Colorado Sports Hall of Fame. He was a three-sport athlete at Wheat Ridge High School and at the University of Colorado and a draft choice of the Cincinnati Reds.
But it’s Dave Logan’s connection to CU that prompted an appraisal of CU’s chances in the foreseeable future during the Colorado High School Activities Association’s media day Aug. 14 at Empower Field at Mile High. (He knows that area of town, too. Logan is the radio voice of the Denver Broncos.).
“I’m excited for their (CU’s) chances,” Logan said in between assessments of Cherry Creek’s chanc-
es for a fth straight prep football crown this fall. “I will always bleed black and gold. e program has been so bad, I’m willing to take a step back and see if there’s anything di erent and if now, what is.”
Logan thinks CU’s new coach, Deion Sanders, will improve the program’s fortunes but not overnight.
“I suspect things are going to be much better,” Logan said. “I’m willing to take a step back and say, ‘Let’s put one foot in front of the other.’”
Logan also thinks Sanders will help improve local recruiting prospects.
“ e state has been overlooked for football talent,” Logan said. “We’ve gone out of state to play some of the best teams, and we’ve been right there. I know the talent in the state. I know there’s a base talent that’s been overlooked. I’d like to see that change.”
Logan has taken his teams to 15 state title games in his 30 years as a high-school coach. He’s coached the Bruins since 2012. Logan is starting his 33rd year in the radio booth for the Denver Broncos and his 26th season as the team’s radio play-by-play voice.

James Tilton of Monson, Cummins, Shohet & Farr, LLC, 13511 Northgate Estates Dr., Ste. 250, Colorado Springs, CO 80921, (719) 471-1212). APPLICATION FOR ADJUDICATIONS OF DENVER BASIN GROUNDWATER AND FOR APPROVAL OF PLAN FOR AUGMENTATION IN ADAMS COUNTY. Applicant is seeking to quantify the Denver Basin groundwater underlying the Applicant’s Property, as defined below, and approval of a plan for augmentation for the use of a not-nontributary Upper Arapahoe aquifer wells to serve a sixteen-lot subdivision of the Applicant’s Property. Applicant owns an approximately 287.9-acre property that is depicted on the attached Exhibit A map, located in the W1/2 of Section 7, Township 1 South, Range 64 West of the 6th P.M., Adams County, specifically described on the attached Exhibit B (“Applicant’s Property”). Existing Well. There is one existing well on the Applicant’s Property for domestic use permitted under Colorado Division of Water Resources Permit No. 300515 (“Fritzel Well”). It is drilled to a depth of 300 feet to the Arapahoe aquifer, and located 381 feet from the north section line and 667 feet from the east section line in the NE1/4 of the NE1/4 of Section 7, Township 1 South, Range 64 West of the 6th P.M. This well will be re-permitted to operate pursuant to the herein requested augmentation plan. There is a well under Colorado Division of Water Resources Permit No. 120039 that previously claimed approximately 17.45 acres of Applicant’s Property to supply an exempt well of 1 acre-foot annually. To account for this well, Applicant has decreased the claimed amount of water in the Upper Arapahoe aquifer by 50 acre-feet (50% of 100-year life of a well that withdraws 1 acre-foot per year). Proposed Well. Applicant proposes the construction of fifteen additional wells to the Arapahoe aquifer to supply water to the individual lots in addition to the Fritzel Well. Not-Nontributary. The groundwater to be withdrawn from the Upper Arapahoe aquifer underlying Applicant’s Property is not-nontributary. Pursuant to § 37-90-137(9) (c.5), C.R.S., the augmentation requirements for wells in the Upper Arapahoe aquifer in this location requires the replacement of 4% of the amount of water withdrawn on an annual basis. Nontributary. The groundwater that will be withdrawn from the Lower Arapahoe and Laramie-Fox Hills aquifers underlying the Applicant’s Property is nontributary. Estimated Rates of Withdrawal Pumping from the wells will not exceed 200 g.p.m. per well. The actual pumping rates for the wells will vary according to aquifer conditions and well production capabilities. Applicant requests the right to withdraw ground water at rates of flow necessary to withdraw the entire decreed amounts. The actual depth of any wells to be constructed within the respective aquifers will be determined by topography and actual aquifer conditions. Estimated Average Annual Amounts of Ground Water Available Applicant requests a vested right for the withdrawal of all legally available groundwater in the Denver Basin aquifers underlying Applicant’s Property. Said amounts may be withdrawn over the 300-year life of the aquifers as required by Adams County, Colorado Land Dedication Standards § 5-04-05-06-04(2) which is more stringent than the State of Colorado’s 100-year life requirement pursuant to § 37-90-137(4), C.R.S. for aquifers. Applicant estimates that the following values and average annual amounts are representative of the Denver Basin aquifers underlying Applicant’s Property:

Applicant requests that he be entitled to withdraw an amount of groundwater in excess of the average annual amount decreed to the aquifers beneath the Applicant’s Property, so long as the sum of the total withdrawals from all the wells in the aquifers does not exceed the product of the number of years since the date of issuance of the original well permit or the date of entry of a decree herein, whichever comes first, multiplied by the average annual volume of water which Applicant is entitled to withdraw from the aquifers underlying the Applicant’s Property. Owner of Land Upon Which Wells are to Be Located. The land upon which the wells are to be located as well as the underlying groundwater is owned by the Applicant. Structures to be Augmented. The structures to be augmented are an existing Fritzel Well and fifteen additional Upper Arapahoe aquifer wells to be constructed to serve the other fifteen lots (for a total of sixteen lots), along with any replacement or additional wells as needed that are constructed to the Upper Arapahoe aquifer underlying the Applicant’s Property (“Fritzel Wells”). Water Rights to be Used for Augmentation. The water rights to be used for augmentation during pumping are the return flows resulting from the pumping of the not-nontributary Upper Arapahoe aquifer wells, together with water rights from the nontributary Lower Arapahoe aquifer for any injurious post-pumping depletions. Statement of Plan for Augmentation. Applicants wish to provide for the augmentation of stream depletions caused by pumping of the not-nontributary Upper Arapahoe aquifer. Pumping from the Upper Arapahoe aquifer will be a maximum of 7.60 acre-feet of water per year combined for the Fritzel Wells, with each lot pumping a maximum of 0.475 acre-feet per year. Such uses shall be for domestic within a single-family dwelling and guest house, structure and equipment washing, hot tub, irrigation (indoor and outdoor), commercial, stock water, recreation, wildlife, fire protection, and also for storage and augmentation purposes associated with such uses. Pumping from the Upper Arapahoe will require the replacement of 4% of the water withdrawn annually, or 0.304 acre-feet. Should annual pumping be less than the 7.6 acrefeet total described herein, resulting depletions and required replacements will be correspondingly reduced. Augmentation of Depletions During Pumping. Pursuant to § 37-90-137(9)(c.5), C.R.S., Applicants are required to replace 4% of the water withdrawn from the Upper Arapahoe aquifer annually. Depletions during pumping will be effectively replaced by residential return flows from non-evaporative septic systems. The annual consumptive use for non-evaporative septic systems is 10% per year per residence. At a conservative household use rate of 0.20 acre-feet per residence per year, 2.88 acre-feet is replaced to the stream system per year, assuming the use of a non-evaporative septic systems. Thus, during pumping, stream depletions will be adequately augmented. Augmentation for Post Pumping Depletions. For the replacement of post-pumping depletions which may be associated with the use of the Fritzel Wells, Applicant will reserve 2,326 acre-feet of the Laramie-Fox Hills aquifer, subject to credit for during-pumping replacement. The amount of nontributary Laramie-Fox Hills aquifer groundwater reserved may be reduced as may be determined through this Court’s retained jurisdiction as described in any decree. If the Court, by order, reduces the Applicant’s obligation to account for and replace such post-pumping depletions for any reason, it may also reduce the amount of Laramie-Fox Hills aquifer groundwater reserved for such purposes, as described herein. Applicant also reserves the right to substitute other legally available augmentation sources for such post pumping depletions upon further approval of the Court under its retained jurisdiction. Even though this reservation is made, under the Court’s retained jurisdiction, Applicants reserve the right in the future to prove that post pumping depletions will be noninjurious. Pursuant to § 37-90-137(9)(b), C.R.S., no more than 98% of water withdrawn annually from a nontributary aquifer shall be consumed. (7 Pages of Application)

JULY 2023 WATER RESUME PUBLICATION
TO: ALL PERSONS INTERESTED IN WATER APPLICATIONS IN WATER DIV. 1
Pursuant to C.R.S. 37-92-302, you are notified that the following is a resume of all water right applications, and certain amendments filed in the Office of the Water Clerk during the month of JULY 2023 for each County affected.
**AMENDED** 2022CW3001 ADAMS COUNTY BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS, 4430 S. Adams County Pkwy. 5th Floor, Suite C5000A, Brighton, CO 80601, Telephone: (720) 523-6100, c/o Matthew A. Montgomery, Hill & Robbins, P.C., 3401 Quebec St., Suite 3400, Denver, CO 80207, (303) 296-8100. AMENDED APPLICATION FOR CHANGE OF WATER RIGHTS, APPROPRIATION OF CONDITIONAL WATER RIGHTS, AND PLAN FOR AUGMENTATION IN ADAMS COUNTY. 1. Name, mailing address, telephone number of Applicant: Adams County Board of County Commissioners, 4430 S. Adams County Pkwy., 5th Floor, Suite C5000A, Brighton, CO 80601, Telephone: (720) 523-6100. 2. Introduction. Adams County owns Twin Lakes Park. Twin Lakes Park is located on W. 70th Avenue just west of Broadway in the NW1/4 sec. 3, T.3S., R.68W. of the 6th P.M. The park features two gravel pits, hiking trails, picnic tables, and 4.66 acres of irrigated turf grass and landscaping. In the past, the park has been irrigated from water delivered from the Colorado Agricultural Ditch. Due to the junior nature of the Colorado Agricultural Ditch water rights, the ditch is often curtailed in mid to late summer. The water right for the Lower Clear Creek Ditch (which is diverted at the same headgate as the Colorado Agricultural Ditch) is more senior and not curtailed as often. Adams County filed the original application in this case to improve the reliability of the water supply by changing the use of 0.8 shares of stock in the Lower Clear Creek Ditch Company for the purposes of irrigating Twin Lakes Park. Adams County filed the Amended Application to change the type and place of use of 1.35 shares issued and outstanding shares in the Lower Clear Creek Ditch Company to include irrigation at Twin Lakes Park and storage in the Mann Lakes, to appropriate new conditional water rights in the amount of the historical return flows, and a plan for augmentation. Specifically, Adams County will irrigate 4.66 acres of turf grass and landscaping at Twin Lakes Park with water attributable to the Lower Clear Creek Ditch and dry up 7.98 acres of farmland previously irrigated from the Lower Clear Creek Ditch. In order to replace the return flows associated with the historic pattern of use of the 1.35 shares of stock in the Lower Clear Creek Ditch Company, Adams County intends to use the existing turnout (or install a new turnout) on the Lower Clear Creek Ditch near the historic place of use to deliver water directly to the stream system and/or to storage in the Mann Lakes prior to delivery to the stream system for the replacement of return flows or augmentation purposes. A map showing the general location of these features is attached to the Amended Application as Exhibit 1. 3. Change of Ditch Company Shares. Adams County seeks to change the place and type of use of 1.35 shares or 0.42% of the 320 issued and outstanding shares in the Lower Clear Creek Ditch Company. 4. Decreed name of the structure for which change is sought. Adams County seeks to change, as described in paragraph 9, below, certain water rights described in paragraph 5, below, associated with the following structure: Lower Clear Creek Ditch Company: a. The Clear Creek and Platte River Ditch (a.k.a. Lower Clear Creek Ditch) which diverts from the north bank

6. Diversion Records. Pursuant to C.R.S. § 37-92-302(2)(a), summaries of records of diversions for the Lower Clear Creek Ditch are set forth in Exhibit 2 to the Amended Application and incorporated herein. 7. Maps. Pursuant to C.R.S. § 37-92-302(2)(a), a map showing the approximate location of the historical use of the water attributable to the Lower Clear Creek Ditch is set forth in Exhibit 3 to the Amended Application and incorporated herein. 8. Mann Lakes. Mann Lakes are a lined gravel pit storage facility owned by Adams County depicted on the map attached to the Application as Exhibit 1. 9. Proposed Change. In September, 1975, Adams County acquired a 65.13-acre field (the “65.13Acre Field”) and 11 shares of stock in the Lower Clear Creek Ditch Company (the “11 Shares”).
Historically, the 65.13-Acre Field was irrigated for agricultural crop production using the 11 Shares, which equates to 5.92 irrigated acres per share. No other water source was historically used to irrigate the 65.13-Acre Field. The 65.13-Acre Field is depicted in Exhibit 3. Adams County will use water attributable to 1.35 of the 11 Shares (the “Changed Shares”) to irrigate 4.66 acres at Twin Lakes Park and will dry up 7.98 acres of farmland on the 65.13-Acre Field. A map depicting the current configuration of the 4.66 acres to be irrigated at Twin Lakes Park is attached as Exhibit 4. Adams County shall install a turnout on the Lower Clear Creek Ditch in compliance with any applicable ditch company bylaws or rules and an irrigation system equipped with a totalizing flow meter or other measuring device acceptable to the Division Engineer (the “Twin Lakes Park Turnout”). Adams County shall also install a new turnout or reconfigure the existing turnout on the Lower Clear Creek Ditch at or near the 65.13-Acre Field in compliance with any applicable ditch company bylaws or rules equipped with a totalizing flow meter or other measuring device acceptable to the Division Engineer that includes the infrastructure necessary to convey water attributable to the Changed Shares to the stream system (the “Animal Shelter Turnout”). Water diverted at the Animal Shelter Turnout may be stored in the Mann Lakes. Water stored in Mann Lakes may be used for the replacement of return flows attributable to the Changed Shares or, to the extent that storage in Mann Lakes exceeds Adam’s County’s return flow obligations, for recreation, piscatorial, fire protection, and as a source of substitute supply for replacement or augmentation purposes. Adams County shall not use water attributable to the Changed Shares as a source of substitute supply without first obtaining administrative or judicial approval for such use. Applicant may temporarily detain water attributable to the Changed Shares in a clear well or similar structure at Twin Lakes Park for up to 72 hours in order to allow more efficient or effective beneficial use of the water.
10. Claim to Appropriate New Conditional Water Rights in the Amount of the Historical Return Flows. a. Name of Structure. Mann Lakes, for which the decreed point of diversion is described in paragraph 8, above. b. Conditional Appropriation. Adams County claims conditional water rights to retain and use for the changed uses described in paragraph 9, above, an amount of water equal to the historical return flow portion of the Changed Shares at any time of the year whenever there is no call for water rights below the historical return flow location, or that call is junior to the filing date of this Amended Application. c. Date of Appropriation. July 20, 2023. d. How Appropriation was Initiated. The appropriation date is based on the filing date of this Amended Application. e. Date Water First Applied to Beneficial Use. N/A. f. Source. South Platte River. g. Amount Claimed. As described in paragraph 3, above, Adams
County seeks to change 1.35 shares in the Lower Clear Creek Ditch. Adams County claims a rate and volume of all return flows associated with those shares to the extent available under this claimed appropriation, conditional. h. Claimed Uses. For the same uses as described in paragraph 9, above. 11. Claim for Plan for Augmentation. Through this plan for augmentation, Adams County will provide sources of replacement water to replace historical return flow obligations associated with the Changed Shares. a. Location of the Return Flows. Irrigation Return flows from the Changed Shares accrued historically to the South Platte River near the 65.13-Acre Field, above the South Platte River at Henderson gage as shown on the map attached as Exhibit 5. b. Replacement Sources. Adams County will use water derived from the Changed Shares to replace historical return flow obligations associated with the Changed Shares in time, location, and amount in order to prevent injury to any owner of or persons entitled to use water under a vested water right or decreed conditional water right at any time of the year whenever there is no call for water rights below the historical return flow location, or that call is junior to the filing date of this Amended Application. c. Future Acquired Sources. Adams County intends to acquire and/ or lease additional water supplies in the future for use as a source of replacement water in the plan for augmentation described in the Amended Application. Those supplies may be acquired and/ or leased to replace or supplement water from the Changed Shares. 12. Names and addresses of owners of land on which structures are located. Adams County owns Twin Lakes Park, the Adams County Regional Park, including the Animal Shelter, and the Mann Lakes. Adams County believes that the Lower Clear Creek Ditch, a.k.a., the Clear Creek and Platte River Ditch, is owned by the Lower Clear Creek Ditch Company, P.O. Box 701, Eastlake, Colorado 80614.
THE WATER RIGHTS CLAIMED BY THESE APPLICATIONS MAY AFFECT IN PRIORITY ANY WATER RIGHTS CLAIMED OR HERETOFORE ADJUDICATED WITHIN THIS DIVISION AND OWNERS OF AFFECTED RIGHTS MUST APPEAR TO OBJECT WITHIN THE TIME PROVIDED BY STATUTE OR BE FOREVER BARRED.

Decretal paragraph 11.B provides as follows: [T]his Court shall also retain continuing jurisdiction herein which may be invoked by applicant . . . . for the purpose of expanding the aforedescribed plan for augmentation by including therein additional alluvial wells . . . , with the terms and conditions of such expanded plan to be determined pursuant to such continuing jurisdiction. The Court has approved the expansion of the South Adams Augmentation Plan to include additional augmentation sources, additional alluvial wells, or both in Case Nos. W-8440 76A, W-8440 76C, W-8440-76D, 1997CW353, 2000CW102, 01CW258, 05CW115, 06CW285, 2007CW303, 2010CW304, and 2015CW3177.
South Adams is also seeking the expansion and modification of the South Adams Augmentation Plan in pending Case No. 2022CW3063. In Case No. W-8440-76D, the Court ordered that future proposed expansions to South Adams’ plan for augmentation pursuant to decretal paragraph 11.B of the decree in Case No. W 8440 76 be submitted in the form of new applications bearing new and separate case numbers in accordance with then-applicable statutes and rules of the Court. In accordance with the Court’s order in Case No. W-8440-76D, South Adams has filed this proposed expansion to its plan for augmentation under a new application bearing a new and separate case number. South Adams’ augmentation supplies are sufficient to replace any outof-priority depletions caused by South Adams’ diversion and subsequent beneficial use of water collected by the North Complex Drains in addition to any out-of-priority depletions caused by existing structures that are augmented by the South Adams Augmentation Plan. No injury will result from the inclusion of the North Complex Drains in the South Adams Augmentation Plan or from South Adams’ diversion of water collected by the North Complex Drains so long as out-of-priority depletions attributable to such diversions are augmented pursuant to the South Adams Augmentation Plan, including a requirement to limit the gross depletions from South Adams diversions’ from the North Complex Drains, the South Adams Wells, as that term is defined in Paragraph 36.b. of the 01CW258 Decree, and the wells included in the 05CW115 Decree, to the amount allowed by Paragraph 51 of the 01CW258 Decree as that limit was modified by the 06CW285 Decree and as that limit may be modified by subsequent decrees. Therefore, South Adams seeks a determination by the Court that South Adams may divert water from the North Complex Mounding Drain and the South Heel Drain, as described in Paragraphs 4 through 12 above, out-of-priority in accordance with the South Adams Augmentation Plan.
AND OWNERS OF AFFECTED RIGHTS MUST APPEAR TO OBJECT WITHIN THE TIME PROVIDED BY STATUTE OR BE FOREVER BARRED.

Kathy Ann Thompson Personal RepresentativeThere’s another sport you link to Pepper Pong and its success: Spikeball. Why?
Spikeball is really popular here also. Ironically, I was struggling with getting the game manufactured. A friend of mine happened to be connected to the gentleman who had taken over Spikeball as the CEO. He put me in contact with (the man who would do product engineering for Spikeball). He arranged all of the same manufacturing at the same facility Spikeball is manufactured in China. So we sort of parallel-pathed a little bit. I mean, we’re way behind Spikeball but we share a lot of connections with them. And I just know Spikeball is all over Colorado.
Do you think debuting the game in Denver is partially responsible for its early success?
I do think that Colorado is uniquely curious about these types of games. I mean, you see Spikeball at camp grounds. One of the most popular venues for people playing Pepper Pong, it seems, is on camping trips and in the outdoors. Once we were stuck in I-70 tra c and we
played it on the hood of our car. It’s so funny because having lived here for 25+ years, there’s so many different places where Pepper Pong is just a natural t, doesn’t matter if its in tra c and you want to break it out, or if you’re in some remote camp ground and you want to play on your Yeti cooler or tailgating or something like that. We always joke that from the funeral home to the frat house, you can play it anywhere.
How is Pepper Pong related to battling your addiction? Are they related?
ey’re absolutely intertwined. I mean, when I was in the throes of my challenges with overcoming my addiction, truly what was going on was: I had all these ideas and I wanted to do all these things in my life, but I was frozen because of my addiction. I could function, and I’ve got a family that I support, and I was able — by the grace of God — to continue to do that, but I could only do the baseline stu . All of my real dreams, like creating a game like Pepper Pong that’s been on my brain for years and years and years, I couldn’t execute on it because I wasn’t sharp or functioning at a high level. Once I was able to really think about what I wanted

to accomplish, I was able to start to do stu I was simply unable to do while in the shackles of addiction.
You said you dedicate Pepper Pong sets to recovery facilities and homeless/treatment centers. Why is that important to you?
I’ve always wanted to give back. When I re ected on my own journey to sobriety, and thought about things that gave me the motivation to get through it, I was always looking for people that su ered the way I had su ered. e ones that were able to overcome it and what they accomplished sort of served as inspiration for me. Having that out there as a guide post was always really critical for me. But also in the day-to-day, when you’re trying to get rid of a substance that you’ve relied on day-in and day-out for years — if not decades — and you all the sudden stop that, you need something to replace it with. For me, it was something active, something lighthearted. Ping-pong was an important piece for that to ll those hours when I would have otherwise been drinking. I hope Pepper Pong can be that for others.

was up an average of 18 cents in the past month, to $3.97, according to AAA’s Gas Tracker.
Few items in the average Denverite’s budget saw a decline in costs, but there were a handful: Meat and eggs, down 1.3%; clothing, down 0.9%; used cars and trucks, down 6.2%; and gasoline for one’s car, down 18.3%. Most of those also fell nationwide.
But food prices continue to rise in Denver and the U.S. Eating at home cost 4.2% more than a year ago. But eating out cost even more, up 7.8%.
It’s probably not a surprise to anyone that restaurant menu prices have gone up. Restaurants, like many businesses in the service sector, faced the double whammy of a labor shortage and rising wages in the past two years. While such trends bene t workers, that obviously impacts a restaurant’s bottomline and translates into higher menu prices.
According to the National Restaurant Association, menu prices are up 7.1% nationwide in a year as of July, with the South leading the increase at 7.4%. Denver’s rate, of course, was higher, at 7.8%.

Colorado students who start at a community college then transfer to a four-year bachelor’s degree program will soon have a chance to pay for part of their education with a new scholarship.
e scholarship, called the Reisher Bridge Scholars Program, supports students within the Bridge to Bachelor’s Degree program — the program guarantees admission at a four-year university for rst-time college students who graduate from a community college.
e new Reisher Bridge scholarship gives nancial support for students during their rst two years before they transfer to one of eight schools and covers almost half the annual cost of attending a Colorado Community College school. Once students transfer, they are then eligible for another Reisher scholarship.
Combined, the scholarships give low-income students muchneeded nancial support when they rst enter community college and then to make it to graduation at a four-year university.
“As we all know, when you can’t a ord more than three to six credits at a time it delays your
graduation and it can sometimes be a self-defeating prophecy,” said Adam Cermak, Foundation for Community Colleges executive director.
Cermak said the money makes a big dent in the cost of a community college education. Community college tuition, books, and fees cost about $5,000 annually, he said.
The bridge scholars program provides $2,000 a year for students at any of the state’s 13 community colleges. Once they transfer, students who were awarded the Reisher Bridge scholarship then can apply to the Reisher Scholars Program, which provides $4,000 to $15,000 a year for junior and senior years at one of eight participating four-year universities.
Both scholarships are paid for by the Denver Foundation; the new bridge scholarship is the rst tied to a speci c program within the Colorado Community College System, Cermak said.
e ve-year, $1-million-a-year pilot program increases options for students throughout the state to pay a portion of the cost of community college, especially as many students worry about tuition costs and debt.
About 9,000 students are en-
rolled in the Bridge to Bachelors program, but the scholarship is for students who plan to transfer to one of the colleges that partners with the Reisher Scholars Program.
Students will not have to apply for the scholarship. Instead, they must have 30 credits or less remaining toward their associate degree, have a documented plan toward completing college, be enrolled full-time, and hold at least a 3.0 GPA. Students must also demonstrate nancial need through Pell eligibility, a federal grant that helps subsidize college costs. e state plans to award about 250 scholarships a year based on that criteria.
Colorado also o ers other programs, such as dual enrollment and concurrent enrollment, to help o set the cost of college. Concurrent and dual enrollment programs allow high school students to enroll in college classes and earn credit.
e Denver Foundation also will fund college advisors who help students navigate the ins and outs of college and other support services as part of the program.

“We have a lot of really strong talent,” she said. “We’re going to be able to utilize that talent very well. We have a good chance of making it far.”
e Ravens are trying for their fth league title in its six-year history.
“We have the team (to get to the state nals) this year,” Medina said. “With as close as we got last year and how much drive we had as a team, we’re ready to break it through. We’re really solid. Once we get into the season, we will have really great team chemistry.”
It’s all about getting to work and polishing what they know they do best, and sharpening aspects of the game that need it.
“I love what I’ve got here,” Garza said. “We’ve got a lot of girls back this year. A lot of the girls are young. ey are hungry. It’s a hard-working group. ey really felt the sting from last year against Frederick, and they don’t want that again. ese girls have un nished business.”
Garza trusts the players to play the right way on their own.
“I just have to stay out of the way,” Garza laughed. “I just let them do their thing, not change much. ey are hungry and driven. is is their passion.”
e Ravens open the season on Aug. 15 against Severance.
