Unity outweighs division at Masjid Ikhlas amidst years of protests Northglenn mosque works to build bridges in controversial times BY LIAM ADAMS LADAMS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Masjid Ikhlas opened the doors of its two-story building in 1999. Through the mosque doors and up a short flight of stairs is a lobby with a rack to place shoes on. Turn left and through the hallway is the entrance to a small library full of texts in Arabic and Farsi, an ode to some members’ Afghan heritage. Past the hallway is the men’s prayer room, blanketed by a gold and emerald carpet. Directly below is the women’s prayer hall with an identical carpet. Pass through the basement hallway, but don’t miss a window in the wall where kids serve adults coffee out of. At the end of the hallway is the kitchen area, a gathering space when there isn’t a global pandemic. It’s currently a storage area. In the 20-plus years since the Northglenn mosque opened, its membership has grown to over 1,000 members, who are doctors, engineers and business owners in the community. The mosque has a youth group, a Sunday school and an after-school tutoring program to teach Quranic recitation and memorization. There are food drives open to anyone on Saturdays. Two COVID-19 vaccination clinics were there recently. Masjid Ikhlas isn’t just a home for some community members, said board member Jamaluddin Amin. “It’s a psychological remedy.” In many ways, the mosque is similar to other religious groups in the area. At an April 2 prayer service, members received a sermon on praying, reading scripture and fellowshipping with others during Ramadan, the Muslim holy month that began April 13. Yet, one thing is different about Masjid Ikhlas: the Northglenn po-

Masjid Ikhlas in Northglenn. The mosque, seen by many as a community hub, has been the focus of protests in recent years. In PHOTO BY LIAM ADAMS response, various community partners have rallied around the mosque to denounce the protesting. lice officer guarding the entrance at prayer times. On and off for several years, a protester has visited the mosque. Earlier on, he debated people during open houses, which escalated to trespassing, a ticket for obstructing a sidewalk, a guilty verdict and appeal and, most recently, a letter asking for $9 million that led mosque leaders to meet with the FBI. In the midst of this, the larger faith community has rallied to support the mosque and its outreach director, Ihsan Riahi, who believes now is not the time to withdraw from the larger community out of fear, but to reach out, “to connect, to build bridges.” He joined the Northglenn homelessness task force, an Adams County

faith leaders caucus organized by Together Colorado, a statewide community activist group, and Northglenn’s community co-production policing advisory board. “I cannot just sit my butt on the couch and expect people to think I’m a good guy,” Riahi said. “If I don’t do it, I’m not going to wait for politicians to do it. I’m not going to wait for Fox News to do that. I’ll have to do it myself.” The protester “I’m a missionary,” said Richard Roy Blake. He started a ministry for persecuted Christians in Muslim countries and said he is a former investigative journalist, a book author

and playwright. Besides Masjid Ikhlas, he also has protested at the Denver Islamic Society, where he was arrested and later convicted of disturbing the peace by a jury in Denver municipal court. The Denver Islamic Society has a restraining order against him. Initially, Blake said he began attending the once-a-month open houses at Masjid Ikhlas in 2014 to find “allies” for his ministry before deciding that the mosque’s beliefs were extreme – a claim that mosque leadership outright rejects. Blake began debating people at open houses or would protest in the parking lot, trying to dissuade people SEE MOSQUE, P2

Hate crime advice from DA’s office: Get involved BY STEVE SMITH SSMITH@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

There was a simple thread among the speakers during a 17th Judicial District Attorney’s Office online forum on hate crimes against AsianAmericans and Pacific Islanders on April 7. “You should never be afraid to report hate crimes,” said Harry Budisidharta, executive director of the Asian Pacific Development Center in Aurora. “We want to share the resources we have. We encourage you to stand with us and take a stand against these hate crimes.” There are snags in prosecuting hate crimes, according to Deputy District

from going inside. Then, on March 4, 2017, Blake and three other men were protesting outside, waving white flags and holding up signs depicting Jesus, a police report said. An officer said they heard one protester shout, “Islam is not a religion.” Riahi told police that the protesters tried to prevent cars from going into the parking lot. So, the outreach director declared the men as trespassing, meaning they would only be allowed on the adjacent sidewalk. Blake said he was banned because the mosque didn’t like his opinions. “They couldn’t out-debate me and

Attorney Kim Hinton. She cited two examples. One of those was a pending case, so she couldn’t talk about specifics. “The defendant broke into a church. On the sidewalk out front, he spraypainted ‘F’ the church,” she said. “We were able to prove a hate crime because it was against a protected religion.” The other involved a suspect already in custody. “He directed the ‘n’ word at a black officer and a racial slur against a Hispanic officer,” Hunter said. “Because the officers weren’t likely to respond in a disorderly fashion – they are police officers – we were not able to prosecute for a hate crime for that

part of the offense.” Another issue for some is the reluctance to report because of immigration status. Broomfield Police Chief Gary Creager said his officers’ main goal concerning hate crimes is to get to the matter of intent. “You should never be afraid to report crime,” he said. “We want to hear from you. We want to do everything we can to protect you.” Brian Mason, the district attorney for the 17th Judicial District, which takes in Adams and Broomfield counties, said his office isn’t interested in someone’s immigration status. “My job is to keep you safe,” he said. “We want everyone in the community to feel safe. My office doesn’t do immi-

gration. The FBI doesn’t do immigration either. If we get information, we don’t turn it over. Our job is to remedy federal civil rights issues.” Matt Kirsch, the acting U.S. attorney for the District of Colorado, said victims of hate crimes should not be worried about “wasting someone’s time.” “We have relationships with each other,” he said. “Don’t be concerned about reporting to the wrong place. Focus on reporting the crime so we can address this conduct.” “If it doesn’t get investigated by the officers, we can’t follow up to see if it does turn out to be a hate crime,” Hunter said. “If law enforcement doesn’t know, our office can’t pursue a charge as a hate crime.”

they couldn’t have me around,” he said. Riahi flatly disputes that. According to the transcript of a later court trial, Riahi said, “It’s not a question of freedom of speech, that’s his right, Riahl his Constitutional right that I am for, no matter what. The problem was the fact was that he put people in endangerment, and he was harassing people in the name of free speech.” Nevertheless, Blake told the mosque, “You throw me out and I will be on the sidewalk anytime I can.” The situation escalated on July 17, 2017 when a neighbor contacted Riahi to say that Blake was bringing an armed militia to a protest, caus-

ing the mosque to call Northglenn PD for extra security that day, according to a police report. The mosque took it seriously because just before then, a man (who police said in a report wasn’t connected to Blake) drove by the mosque and brandished a machete through the window of his car, threatening to harm the mosque, according to Riahi and a police report. No militia ultimately came, and Blake said he isn’t affiliated with one. “This is the first I have heard about it,” Blake said when asked if he was affiliated with a militia. “I am totally independent except for my charity.” A few months after, Masjid Ikhlas entered into a contract with Northglenn PD for off duty officers to provide security on Fridays, according to Northglenn Police Commander Ron Osgood. More recently, the department provided security at the COVID-19 vaccination clinics and it does extra patrol at the mosque every week. Blake’s in-person protests came to a halt Jan. 4, 2020, when a Northglenn police officer ticketed him for obstructing a sidewalk. Riahi said he saw people walking onto the street to get around Blake. Blake contested the ticket, leading to a municipal court trial where a jury convicted him. Currently, Blake is appealing the conviction in Adams County district court and he’s also suing Northglenn and NPD officers in U.S. district court. In the municipal court trial, Blake said he wouldn’t protest at the mosque anymore, according to a transcript. However, when asked if he would protest again if the conviction was overturned, Blake said, “Who knows. I guess we’ll see.” The mosque’s most recent run-in with Blake was on Jan. 7, 2021, when he sent a letter threatening to sue the mosque and Riahi unless they paid him $9 million in 30 days.

more through his involvement with the city. When Blake’s Jan. 7 letter came, Riahi shared with some of those people more about what was going on. “Ihsan (Riahi) knows he can bring any concerns to the table and that he has a group of people that have his back and have the mosque’s back,” Lawless said. Together Colorado mobilized, writing a petition that called on law enforcement to address the situation. “Their (Riahi and mosque) participation has been an invaluable contribution to our work for human dignity in Colorado,” read the document dated March 1. It continued, “We … stand with the North Denver Islamic Center and wholeheartedly support the Mosque’s call for intervention by the appropriate law enforcement authorities to address this threat and ensure the wellbeing of not only their leadership, congregants and place of worship, but of all members of the community.” Together Colorado circulated the petition among partners throughout Colorado, garnering 69 signatures from people in 19 different cities. Signatories included leaders of Christian, Jewish, Unitarian Universalist and Latter-day Saints congregations. Leighty and Pinter also signed it. Pinter said the number of signatures, “is a credit to Ihsan and the mosque and their commitment to outreach.” Leaders of the mosque have since met with the FBI and U.S. Attorney’s Office. Dunbar, who also attended the meeting with the FBI to present the Together Colorado petition, said he went that extra step because the mosque serves the community. “They are a voice for reasonableness. They are a voice for faithfulness,” Dunbar said. The petition is one of many examples where community members supported the mosque amidst Blake’s protests, Riahi said. One time, patrons at a bar across the street stopped mid-drink to approach Blake and tell him to stop. Other times, people saw Blake protesting and decided to go to an open house, when they weren’t originally planning to. Riahi said he had fruitful conversations with those who went against Blake’s advice. People who previously had misconceptions about Islam became more relaxed, a few have even shed tears, Riahi said. “When they see more of what we have in common more than what we don’t agree on as far as religion is concerned, then that changes their mind. They become friends.”

Allies In the years Blake was protesting Masjid Ikhlas and trying to dissuade people from meeting its members, partnerships between the mosque and local leaders were deepening. Adams County Commissioner Emma Pinter first visited Masjid Ikhlas when it hosted an anti-hate forum after Nazi symbols appeared in Westminster in 2017. Pastor Wesley Dunbar of St. John’s Lutheran Church in Thornton took a youth group there once to learn about Islam. Patty Lawless, a statewide organizer with Together Colorado, met Riahi through the Adams County faith leaders caucus. Northglenn Mayor Meredith Leighty got to know Riahi

Uplands developers says project ‘a catalyst’ In Uplands’ ninth year of planning, big decisions will be made, and Jeff Handlin hopes it’s in his favor

Developer Jeff Handlin addresses the Westminster Planning Commission at a hearing in January 2020.

BY LIAM ADAMS LADAMS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Jeff Handlin thinks Uplands Colorado will yield a net benefit, not detriment, for its neighbors. Some neighbors of the proposed 233acre development in south Westminster say it will drastically change, and harm, the surrounding area. Handlin, founder and president of Oread Capital, the project’s primary developer, sees the opposite. “We’d like to be a catalyst in an area that may have seen some underinvestment in the last couple of decades,” Handlin said. Handlin believes that with his whole heart, and he wants neighbors, the planning commission and city council to believe it too. Since 2013, Handlin has committed himself to Uplands more than anything else and in 2021, a year of potential big decision-making about annexations, zoning and preliminary development plans, Handlin wants to see the fruits of his labor. “In the past, we’ve been on the wrong side of it. Meaning, we have been the providers of monolithic developments,” Handlin said. That’s where his desire to good, to do dif-

ferent, stems from. He’s been behind development projects that mainly featured single family detached homes, a housing type that is limited to only certain kinds of residents and income levels. All that does is funnel investment into parts of town that have already seen sufficient investment — in schools, businesses, etc. — but not into areas that have witnessed underinvestment, Handlin said. Shaw Heights, Federal Heights and south Westminster is one of those areas that Handlin feels he could help. An off-the-bat way he sees Uplands as benefit to the area is the diversity of housing types that Oread and its development partners are proposing to build, including apartments, townhouses and multiplexes. Otherwise known as the “missing middle.” But it’s not just that. “Investment into the construction of the community can be such a positive influence on the local economy, on the school district, on the type of

neighborhood we build,” said Eric Kornacki, head of the Uplands Community Collective, the development’s non-profit arm. Handlin said he intentionally sought out Kornacki, who was exclusively worked with non-profits beforehand, to carry out a holistic vision. “For me, it was a really exciting opportunity to try to affect change upstream, rather than at the end of the pipe trying to solve issues.” It isn’t just for show, the two emphasize. Kornacki is talking to grocers to fill a vacant building along 84th Avenue and Federal Boulevard. He’s also in conversations with Front Range Community College about creating student internship opportunities centered around the construction of Uplands. They want to find ways to invest in local businesses located on the site’s perimeter, not force them out. Neither Handlin nor Kornacki are shy about their belief that Uplands will be a socially conscious project. Both talked extensively about not wanting Uplands to be an agent of

“displacement” or gentrification. Handlin alluded to books that have been pivotal for him, such, “Missing Middle Housing,” “Neighborhood Defenders” and “Generation Priced Out.” He said he’s doing his homework. But not everyone is buying it. “My opinion is that this is part of his sales pitch … I think we are a very creative and resourceful community and group of people and we know what our opinion is on what is needed to build a healthy and sustainable community,” said Karen Ray, an organizer with Save the Farm, a community group opposing Uplands. In some ways, Ray, a neighbor in the area, doesn’t disagree with Handlin’s analysis of the area’s needs. There could be more investment into it, and existing, vacant lots could be repurposed, she said. It’s the means to revitalization where she differs from Handlin, and a development with thousands of new residential units is not that. Handlin stipulates that he doesn’t think of himself as the savior. “You can be intentional or not about the billion dollars plus that is going to be spent on the site over the next 15 years,” he said. Handlin notes that the city’s current comprehensive plan already designates the land for mixed-use development. In other words, it’s going to be developed. So, for him, it’s a matter of, “There is a right way to do this and there is a wrong way to do this. And we are trying our best to do the right things.”

Barricade at Motel 6 in Thornton ends after 19.5 hours BY LIAM ADAMS LADAMS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Gov. Jared Polis and First Gentleman Marlon Reis visited Adams County‚Äôs Riverdale Animal Shelter April 9. The shelter moved into its new building near Riverdale Regional Park in September. From left, Adams County Commissioner PHOTO BY LIAM ADAMS Emma Pinter, Polis and Reis.

After a 19.5-hour-long standoff at the Motel 6 in Thornton, law enforcement ended a barricade situation that began on the afternoon of April 6 and ended the morning of April 7. Police arrested two suspects who had barricaded themselves in a motel room, 51-year-old Frederick Najera and 41-year-old Charisse Heaney, according to Thornton PD spokesman Sgt. Thomas Connor. A SWAT team ended the barricade by using a flash grenade to disorient the suspects and then entering a window. Upon entering the motel room, police arrested Najera and Heaney without any struggle. The situation began after 1 p.m., April 6 when Denver police officers were actively looking for Najera to issue an arrest warrant. Najera had active warrants for aggravated robbery and first-degree burglary. There was also a parole warrant for him. Denver officers identified the pair in a room at Motel 6 just south of 84th Avenue. Denver PD called Thornton PD and after, Najera and Heaney barricaded themselves in the room, Connor said. Law enforcement believed Najera was armed and the combined SWAT team for Thornton and Northglenn police departments arrived on the scene, with a crisis negotiations unit.

Throughout most of the day on April 6, law enforcement believed Heaney was a hostage but negotiators determined that was not the case based on Facebook live feeds she was streaming. In her Facebook videos, Heaney said she wouldn’t exit the room because she feared police would shoot her, not because Najera was holding her hostage. Najera communicated to law enforcement on the ground that he wouldn’t exit the room because he feared being shot and also because he didn’t want to go to prison, Connor said. Officers on site communicated with Najera through a phone and megaphone. By the evening, the department already had warrants to justify issuing an arrest, but Connor said, “Believing there may be a hostage and not wanting to elevate the situation more than it already was, the decision was made not to force an arrest or anything last night.” During the night, the SWAT team and negotiations unit were relieved by Westminster PD’s negotiations unit and the Broomfield SWAT team. The Thornton and Northglenn teams returned at 6 a.m., April 7. Police arrested Heaney on a warrant for larceny. As of the morning of April 7, Denver police were examining the hotel room to determine if Najera was armed, as Thornton PD could not confirm that detail.

VOICES Finding the source of Westminster’s water debacle

here is a lot of rhetoric, questionable statements and misleading impressions from Westminster city staff and some elected offiCROSS cials regarding this whole water issue. CURRENTS Two key points lead to the conclusion that this whole mess could have been avoided. Water and sewer rates could have been set lower and be more tolerable. First, city staff Bill Christopher - and perhaps the city’s consulting engineers - have been too zealous in creating an overly aggressive Capital Improvement Plan to address the replacement of exist-

ing utility infrastructure as well as expansion of current capacities. Let’s remember “Rome wasn’t built in a day”. Certainly, other municipalities have not gone hell-bent on updating pipes, plants and water tanks like Westminster has. Plus, the whole city water system did not need new water meters all at once. We should get a true assessment I have been saying for months that for city officials to recoup some degree of trust from the public, the city should hire an INDEPENDENT third-party consulting engineering company to evaluate the Water and Wastewater Capital Improvement Plan. The selected engineering firm should not stand to derive any consulting business from the city.

Bad mistake to remove the original growth management plan The other key factor is these huge expenditures on infrastructure projects, like the new water treatment plant, which are driving utility rates

way up. If Westminster would have kept the original Growth Management Plan (GMP) in force, with or without the annual residential competition, it would have let the city pace the amount and type of new development each year without outstripping the capacity and dependability of the two systems. This would have avoided the “hurry-up” race that has taken place with so many new apartment complexes and single-family developments. The Growth Management Plan served the city well in strong economic times as well as down times for more than 35 years. The key has always been how much NEW residential development is allowed into the SEE CHRISTOPHER, P9

In other words, this unbiased set of engineers would produce a true assessment of what projects are needed, when they are needed and estimate the cost of each to maintain reliable and quality water and wastewater systems. Plus, remember there is only 2.9% of developable land left in the entire City of Westminster. That is based on just less than one square mile of land (or approximately 640 acres) of the total 34 square miles within the city limits. The need for increased capacities is in limited locations.

he sun comes up right behind Sue and Andy’s house. At least that’s what it looks like from where I am. They live directly across the street and have an even better view than I do because they’re closer. QUIET Most of the time, sunrise is a post card. That’s because we DESPERATION live in Colorado. Not one of the grim Midwestern states I grew up in where the sun never seems to be around in the morning, especially in the winter. The sunrise horizon behind Sue and Andy’s is coral and blue with some red-orange. If I haven’t read the paper, Craig Marshall turned on the television or my computer, life looks pretty good, Smith and until I do any of those things, I am pleasant to be around. Life in its simplest terms at sunrise, sunset, next to a forest or an ocean, or on an innocuous suburban Denver street of lookalike houses in a community once besmirched by National Geographic is — what’s a good word? — magnificent. Then the bipeds come along and ruin things. Why? The answer I’ve heard my entire life is “human nature.” William Golding wrote a book titled “Lord of the Flies” about a bunch of British boys stranded on an island. By the end of the book, the boys have divided up into two groups: one that is mostly cooperative and the other that has reverted to primitive and savage behavior. Sound familiar? It’s lauded as an insightful study of “rational and emotional reactions, and morality and im-

morality.” That sums up the conflicting headlines in the morning paper. Nevertheless, I press on with coffee and Harry at my side, turning the pages, knowing some horror awaits. There are horrors right here in Colorado, across the country, and around the world, some in places I’ve never heard of until recently. Why do I read the newspaper? Or turn on the television? Or the computer? Some people don’t. Who are these people? Since you’re reading this, you are not one of them. Maybe you know someone who is uninformed. Are they blissful? Being around someone who didn’t know what was going on might be difficult for me. What am I talking about? I spend twenty-four hours a day with a dachshund. You’ve seen “Harvey,” starring Jimmy Stewart? His character, Elwood P. Dowd, is a very likable man who lives in his own little world with plenty of martinis and an imaginary friend. Nothing seems to bother Dowd. And those around him begin to see things differently, are more positive and optimistic, and experience life with less anger, anxiety, and depression. A Denver woman, Mary Chase, wrote the play. The film’s running time is 104 minutes. For 104 minutes, I’m along for the ride. Maybe for another thirty afterwards. Then? Then I’ll change channels and return to this world. CNN, FOX, Boulder, Atlanta, the Chauvin trial, Ethiopia, Myanmar. Why is Georgia Georgia? Why not just leave the U.S. flag at half-staff? It

process each year, something the city manages. In other words, how much of the city’s remaining unencumbered water resources and treatment plants’ capacities are to be allocated and used each year? Contrary to prior pronouncements by Mayor Atchison, the “throttle” on new residential development did NOT and will NOT hurt non-residential development from locating in Westminster. History speaks clearly for itself with lots of successful nonresidential projects being built from 1976-2013. Do you remember the Westminster Mall, Ball Office Campus, Westminster Market Place, The Promenade, Shops at Walnut Creek and The Orchard Shopping Center? Enough said! Why weren’t the “unprecedented fiscal maneuvers” used sooner? I find the recommendations by City Manager Don Tripp and city staff to reduce the impact on water and sewer rate increases to be quite intriguing. Staff is recommending tapping $11 million of the $17 million Rate Stabilization Fund money, changing Westminster’s long-standing practice of issuing city bonds from 20-year pay-outs to 30year pay-outs and pushing the aggressive utilities capital improvement plans back- all while keeping the $210 million new water treatment plant in the immediate future. Why weren’t these so-called “unprecedented

fiscal maneuvers” - as labeled by the Westminster Window - identified in 2018 when the council voted in the hefty water rate increases for 2019 and 2020? If these major changes are relevant in the spring of 2021; they would have been just as relevant in the fall of 2018. See, this whole financial and political mess could have been avoided. Always ask the “why” question It is always important to ask the “Why” question. What is the motivation of City Manager Don Tripp to develop and recommend these changes at this point in time? It is quite simple: His continued employment hangs on a single vote. The council’s approval of his last employment contract was 4-3 with Herb Atchison, Anita Seitz, Kathryn Skulley and Jon Voelz voting in support of Tripp. Atchison terms-out this fall, so if Seitz fails at her run for mayor or if either Skulley or Voelz fails to keep their seats and DeMott is re-elected, the balance of power could very well switch to the side of wanting to terminate the City Manager. This is no secret to those involved. The reduced increase on the 2022 water rate to less than 4% is one of the “rabbits pulled out of the hat” to try to maintain the status quo. Don’t think for a minute that reducing the impact of the 2022 rates was a benevolent gesture!

in this very worthwhile program. CASA, a non-profit organization, stands for Court Appointed Special Advocate. That sounds quite important, right? CASA’s make a significant difference in the lives of youth who find themselves the victim of abuse and/or neglect. In 2020, there were over 34,000 investigations into child abuse and neglect in Colorado. This should be unacceptable to all of us!

Making a difference one child at a time The CASA volunteer, who goes through thorough training, is assigned a child (along with any siblings) to be the child’s or children’s voice in court. The judge who oversees such cases heavily depends on the CASA for status reports on the child. CASA volunteers spend time with the child, visit their homes, takes the child on outings like McDonald’s or playing in the neighborhood park. They observe the family interaction. The child’s attitude and mood are noted and reported. CASA and their volunteers foster an environment where children feel safe and loved. Won’t you consider either exploring the possibility of becoming a child advocate or assist the organization financially or in some other way? CASA Chairman Bob Grant reminds us that with each child who is nurtured and loved by his or her CASA advocate, a better world is realized.

Miners Alley returns with a little zen

or New York-born artist Victor Ving, Colorado looks like craft beer, skiers and Red Rocks Amphitheatre. “At each stop, I collaborate with local artists, businesses, and residents to create a piece of true public art that engages the local community,” said Ving. The result of his effort is plain for all to see: His mural “Greetings from Denver” located at 1695 Platte St. is one of 40 murals Ving has created across the country, offering his take — a vintage postcard view painted on public buildings, as a salute to the cities he visits. It’s one of the many street-facing artworks commissioned by the City of Denver, picked by a local panel and free to see, just for the looking. The city of Denver holds a collection of over 400 pieces of art in a variety of media — some combine sight and sound, others are light-based works or interactive new media, temporary fiber-based works or performancebased works. The collections are spread throughout the city. Public art in cities boosts the economy, culturally and socially, according to the City of Denver’s Denver Arts and Venues Public Art program. Public art creates a history of the past, present, and future. Within a neighborhood, public art

Established by Mayor Federico Pena in 1988 via an executive order, the Denver Public Art Program sets aside 1% of any capital improvement project over $1 million is set aside for public art. For more than 30 years, the city has developed a collection of artworks and accepted donations of art. According to the city’s rules, the collection must be a permanent structure to amplify the space. The artists represent a wide range of cultural diversity and are selected in a transparent process by a panel of community members who live and work near the project site. The panel writes the “call for entry,” reviews the application, and the project site. Then the panel selects the artists and interviews the semifinalist and finalist. Once the

artists or groups are selected, the selection is forwarded to the Public Art Committee and the Commission on Cultural Affairs to make the final decision. Denver Arts & Venues plans the public art program and the Mayor’s Commission on Cultural Affairs administrators the activities and policies regarding public art. Travels with Victor Ving, from New York City, started his nationwide “Greetings Tour” in 2015. He travels full-time in his RV, working to create the landmark murals in each city. The artwork resembles a postcard capturing the cities and communities. Ving is a former New York City graffiti artist and the founder of SEE ART, P11

t may be more than a year later than hoped for, but Golden’s Miners Alley Playhouse is finally getting a new season off the ground - and it’s doing so with the world premiere of a show written by a mainstay of the local theater scene. “I’ve been taking COMING writing very seriATTRACTIONS ously for more than a decade now, but this is the first piece of mine that I’ve had fully produced,” said Luke Sorge, an ensemble member of the Boulder Ensemble Theatre Company and performer on stages like Clarke Reader Curious Theatre and The Edge. “It’s really tethered me to the world lately and has become my passion.” Sorge’s “Zen and the Art of Profit,” directed by artistic and executive director Len Matheo, runs at the theater, 1224 Washington Ave., through April 26. The show will be available On Demand in Miners’ new pay-it-forward model - audiences pay what they can, which helps pay for those who normally wouldn’t be able to afford to see the show. There will also be limited in-theater (15 seats) performances on Friday and Saturday, April 16 and 17 and 23 and 24. “I’ve always wanted to fully workshop a play - taking a piece of work and going through the process of making it better a collaborative art piece,” Matheo said. “It’s great because Luke understands the collaborative process and isn’t afraid of it. Lots of writers want to change things… but he’s willing to do things that serve the story and the play.” Based on Sorge’s own affinity for meditation, “Zen and the Art of Profit” features Bill Hahn and Heath Lacy in the story of a hot-shot executive who has his personal emails publicly leaked. This creates a cascade of problems, and to better himself, he hires a spiritual counselor. The last thing he expects is for the lessons to make a difference. “I was actually meditating when I came up with the idea for the play, and I mainly workshopped it with the Boulder Ensemble Theatre Company,” Sorge said. “Once Len and I started working with it, that’s when it really started taking shape. I’m much happier with the script now than I was a month ago.” Through various experiments over the last year, Miners Alley has found that the audience element is crucial to any show, and so they filmed this with people watching - just like it used to be. Moving forward, live audiences will undoubtedly be a component of SEE READER, P11

Klughaus, a creative agency specializing in large-scale mural art. “The ‘Greetings from Chinatown’ mural in New York City was painted in 2014, was the first piece I did where we noticed the potential of how much our artwork can positively affect the community,” said Ving. “I went on a West Coast road trip later that summer and was inspired by others that I saw living on the road. I decided to take a chance to paint and travel full time. I hit the road in spring 2015 and have been loving the lifestyle since.” Ving lets his travel schedule determine his next project. “My travels are loosely based around our commissioned project schedule,” he said. “If there are cities along the way that I connect with, I’ll try to make those murals happen en route to the next destination. “My current priority is creating murals in states where we have not painted in yet. The larger goal is to eventually paint in all 50 states and then take the project global. This is the way I make a living and it is my full-time job. However, from time to time I have donated my services to some good causes that align with my values and mission.”

Cultural Parking Garage entrance from 12th Avenue, just west of Broadway. Voll, who gave 20 of Veronique’s distinctive looks to the museum, loaned others and assisted in collecting items to complete the 100 ensembles exhibited. They were designed by couturiers and designers around the world for the Parisian journalist, philanthropist and fashion influencer Veronique Peck. Voll also loaned personal documents, accessories, photographs and insights. Veronique’s parents, a Paris architect and a Russian artist, encouraged their daughter’s interest in politics and science, as well as in the latest trends in art, theatre, literature — and the best restaurants. Gregory Peck was visiting Paris in 1952, en route to the filming of “Roman Holiday” with Audrey Hepburn, and was scheduled for an interview with the young journalist, Veronique Passani. (French American 1932-2012). On his return trip, he invited her to lunch, which caused her to give up an interview with Nobel Laureate Albert Schweitzer. The glamorous pair married in 1955 and the romance continued until his death in 2003. “Paris to Hollywood ...” includes not only the ensembles Veronique wore,

but sketches (which were at times sent to her if she was not in Paris and created for her if she was interested), film clips, family snapshots and more that give insights into professional and home lives of this glamorous pair and their two children. Materials exhibited cover a period from the 1950s to the 1990s. (There is a Gregory Peck suit included.) Veronique Peck followed her parents on a path that included an interest in the arts, political science, theatre, literature, restaurants and of course, couturiers and their related houses: Yves Saint Laurent, Givenchy and more ... She is credited with introducing controversial pants suits and miniskirts by Courreges in the U.S in the 1960s, which soon became immensely popular among American women. The 40 years covered in this exhibit were a period when women’s societal roles changed drastically as they launched into careers of all sorts — often calling for a change in style.

Tips in planting a vegetable garden BY THELMA GRIMES TGRIMES@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

t’s As ﬂowers begin blooming and the signs of spring emerge, many begin thinking about the summer vegetable garden. The master gardeners through Colorado State University Extension have created a guide to how and when all of summer’s favorite fruits and vegetables should be planted. At the start, the master gardeners say understanding Colorado’s climate is important before seeds go in the ground. According to the Colorado Vegetable Guide, the state’s climate presents a lot of challenges for gardening, starting with the range in elevation, which can go from 4,000 to 12,000 feet. With a clear atmosphere, low humidity,

intense sunlight and extreme variations in precipitation and temperatures gardening in Colorado is unique. According to the guide, a successful vegetable garden can be directly impacted by the length of the growing season. The average last-killing frost in the spring can range from mid-May to as late as July. The ﬁrst-killing frost in the fall can come as early as August. The unpredictable weather in Colorado can cause growing season to be as short as 30 days or as much as 150 days. While cool-season crops can survive a frost and thrive through cold weather, warm-weather fruits and vegetables do not fair as well in unexpected frosts. For this reason, the gardeners with CU Extension recommend holding off on planting the warm-season seeds until the danger of frost passes.

The gardening guide, which can be found online at extension.colostate. edu, not only looks at speciﬁc plants,

but it also focuses on what Coloradans need in soil, which in this state can lack adequate organic materials.

Tips for planting some summer favorites include: Carrots • Cool-season crop • Sun exposure – full sun • Soil condition - Do not use fresh manure to amend the soil in a carrot bed (or in any root crop bed). It can cause tough skins and hairy roots. Carrots grow best in loose, sandy soil; they are not able to germinate properly if there is crusting of clay soil. • Irrigation needs – consistent moisture is key especially for germination. • Mulching – if mulching, wait until after seedlings are up. Mulch can help prevent greening of the carrot shoulders. Cucumber • Warm-season crop • Sun exposure – At least 8 hours of sun is necessary. • Soil condition – Well amended soil with good drainage. • Irrigation needs – Avoid soggy soil. Irrigate to keep soil moist to a depth of 10 inches; dry soil may cause deformed fruit. • Mulching – Mulch can be beneﬁcial but only after the plant is established. Eggplant • Warm season plant • Sun exposure – full sun but site should be protected from wind. • Soil condition – well amended soil, apply fertilizer when planting if necessary. • Irrigation needs – once established can tolerate less regular watering. • Mulching – can create a wire cage wrapped with plastic to combat drying winds, mulch with straw or grass to retain soil moisture.

Horseradish • A perennial crop that can be replanted every year or every few years. • Sun exposure – Full sun but can tolerate some shade. • Soil condition – Tolerates a variety of soils. • Irrigation needs – Less water increases the intensity of flavor. • Mulching – Deep organic mulch is beneficial. Melons • Warm-season crop and can be difficult to transplant. In most of Colorado it is wise to seek out varieties with a short growing season. • Sun exposure – Full sun • Soil condition – Soil temperatures need to be at least 75° for best germination. Well amended soil is best. • Irrigation needs – Keep soil moist 8-10 inches deep. Be careful when cultivating as some roots are close to the surface. • Mulching – Mulch can be useful but not necessary. Onions • Warm-season plant that tolerates cool weather so their long season can be manageable. Seek out long day or day-neutral varieties. • Sun exposure – Full sun • Soil condition – Onions prefer more clay soils, but high in nitrogen. If needed work fertilizer into soil prior to planting. • Irrigation needs – Moist but not wet, onion roots will not tolerate being water-logged. • Mulching – Can be done, not necessary. Peppers • Warm season crop. Two main types: sweet and hot. • Sun exposure – Full sun, although shade cloth can

• • •

be beneﬁcial to prevent sunburn on the fruit. Soil condition – Well amended soil, amend with fertilizer prior to planting if needed, and again midseason to encourage fruit production. Irrigation needs – Keep soil moist to a shovel depth (10 inches). Mulching – Plastic mulch can warm the soil and encourage rapid growth.

Summer Squash/ Zucchini (zucchini, patty pan, etc.) • They have tender flesh and can be harvested through much of the season. • Sun exposure – Full sun • Soil condition – Prefers a light soil but tolerates a well amended soil. High nutrients levels are beneficial. • Irrigation needs – Water regularly. Do not let your plants dry out, can cause fruit to be deformed. Plants will wilt during hot days, if they recover, they are getting sufficient moisture. • Mulching – Plants respond well to plastic mulch to help warm the soil. Tomatoes Determinate/Indeterminate • Tomatoes are a warm season plant; the favorite of many gardener’s vegetable plots. • Sun exposure - Select a site in your garden where the plants will get at least 8 hours of sunlight each day and where the soil will warm up early in the spring. • Soil condition - Prepare the tomato bed by adding organic matter and fertilizer based on soil test recommendations; spade it in at least 12 inches (preferably more). • Irrigation needs - From time of transplant to late August, keep soil moist to about 12 inches. Do not let soil dry out. • Mulching – mulch once the plant has established.

Tips to attract the good insects, detract the bad BY THELMA GRIMES TGRIMES@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

ith help from the expert gardeners at the Colorado University Extension project, local gardeners can create an environment that attracts butterflies and bees and detracts destructive insects. Butterfly gardens According to the Extension project, there are dozens of butterfly species commonly found along the front range. While most butterflies stop by gardens for a drink, there are steps to take to prolong their stay. The Extension project recommends providing the proper environment, which includes adding food plants used by caterpillars, food sources used by the adult butterflies, and physical environment. Butterflies prefer some shelter from the high winds common along the Front Range. They also like open, sunny areas. This means planting windbreak plants or providing other shelter options, which provides a suitable physical environment. Certain butterflies, especially males, can be seen on moist sand or mud collecting around puddles of water where they feed. Female butterflies spend a lot of time searching for food plants required by immature caterpillar stages. Caterpillars of the monarch butterfly develop only on milkweed. The black swallowtail butterfly feeds on parsley, dill and related plants. When a female finds the proper host plant, they will

lay eggs. This makes it important to provide necessary food plants for developing caterpillars. Food for adult butterflies includes sweet liquids, such as nectar from flowers that provide energy. Some flowers contain more nectar, and are more attractive to butterflies. Bright-colored flowers are also more

attractive to butterﬂies. The Extension master gardeners recommend creating large patches of ﬂower gardens that bloom in CONTINUED NEXT PAGE

sequence. This is particularly important during summer when butterflies visit more frequently. Flowers and flowering shrubs are good choices. Attracting native bees In Colorado, there are more than 946 native bee species. Of all pollinators in gardens, bees are the most common and efficient. To create a proper bee habitat, just like humans, bees and other pollinators need food, water, shelter and space to support a robust bee population. While honey bees are social and live in large colonies, 90% of native bee species are actually solitary. Another 70% of these nest underground in the soil. When considering shelter and vegetation for native bees, it is best to plant in layers. It is important to establish structure as the first layer of trees and shrubs. The next step is to add perennials, grasses and groundcovers as further layers in the landscape. To provide a drinking source, gardeners can provide a shallow dish filled with pebbles and water to allow bees and other insects to drink. Insect control To control unwanted insects, the experts at Colorado Extension recommend a variety of options, starting with horticulture oils. A variety of oils, diluted with water can be applied or sprayed on plants to effectively control many plant pests. Horticulture oils are refined petroleum oils combined with an emulsifying agent. According to the Extension guide, the advantages of oils include safety, effectiveness and limited effects on beneficial insects. It is important not to use oils on sensitive plants, and to remember that plants under drought stress may

Liven up the home with more color, spring ﬂowers STAFF REPORT

s with tradition, spring is one of the best times of the year to evaluate a home. Think about the paint color in the kitchen, living room and bathrooms. Consider where a vase of bright-colored flowers will liven things up. Ask yourself if the heavier comforter should be stowed away and replaced with a quilt featuring spring colors and designs. This year, it is possible to add a touch of spring without breaking the bank. Some good ideas to bring your home into the season include: • Adding flowers – Whether fresh or fake, adding a vase with flowers throughout the hallway, front-door

Painting – Spring is the best time of year to look at the home’s dingy walls and decide if a room could use an entire refresh, or the addition of an accent wall. As with most years, green is a popular spring color used to brighten rooms. While green is a go-to color, yellows and blues are also popular in spring. House plants – If some plants did not quite make it through the winter, spring is a good time to

Skyview can’t last against Aurora Central PHOTOS BY STEFAN BRODKSY

Skyview quarterback Bryson Gutierrez attempts a two-point conversion pass, as Aurora Central defender Louis Villa closes in, during the first quarter of last Friday’s game at Skyview High School in Thornton. The try was successful, and gave the Wolverines a 10-6 lead, which they could not hold, as the Trojans scored 20 unanswered points in the second half to win, 26-10.

Jimenez: ‘I would be lying if I said it was a walk in the park’ Northglenn’s new girls basketball coach sums up one strange year BY STEVE SMITH SSMITH@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

This was Northglenn High School girls basketball coach Gabriela Jimenez’ first year on the bench, and it was a strange year, too. “I would be lying if I said it was a walk in the park, especially

during a COVID season,” said the Horizon High School graduate and former Brighton High School assistant, “but it was still a great season and a challenge I enjoyed. Luckily, I have been a head coach in the club and Coach (Jim) French (Brighton High School’s girls’ basketball coach) really gave me the freedom to express my talents as an assistant early in my coaching career, so I felt comfortable in my role this season. Then there was the matter of Northglenn’s roster. “We had a very short roster this year that was a mix of JV and var-

sity players, but the girls wanted to get better, and it was so rewarding to see them start competing,” Jimenez said. “I would have loved to have a full season with this crew because they already grew so much in a short amount of time. It is always scary starting over with a new team, but the girls welcomed me with open arms and really put their trust in me, which obviously makes my job a lot easier.” One issue came up during the season.

JIMENEZ FROM PAGE 22

“Something that has been frustrating as a female coach (and one that looks like I could still be playing) is that people overlook me as a head coach,” she said. “I have seen the way male coaches interact with each other vs. the way they interact with female coaches, and it is pretty shocking. I am grateful to coach alongside my dad, but if I had a dollar every time the refs or other coaches walked up to him assuming he was the head coach, I would be a millionaire. “However, I have some amazing male coaches that are in my corner, so I am excited to earn the respect of my colleagues.” The job of balancing on-court coaching and administrative was easy. “I have a ton of support from my athletic director, Nick Kosovich. He was actually my high-school AP stats teacher at Horizon, so he has been super helpful in the admin side and really tries to let me put most

of my energy towards the basketball side,” Jimenez said. “I also like admin duties, so to me, it wasn’t too bad. It has been a blessing to work with someone who has seen you grow as a player and trusts your coaching ability as well.” Northglenn finished 3-9 this season, 3-4 in the Eastern Metro Athletic Conference. Emelyn Tineo Gonzalez led the Norse in scoring at 12 points and 12 rebounds per contest. Saleen Jaimes averaged a little bit more than seven points a game. “You don’t see the little things in the win/loss column, but as a program, we celebrated lots of little victories,” Jimenez said. “Being able to see a mindset change in the program in a shortened season was everything. The girls started having confidence in themselves. Even when we were playing tough teams, they still fought and never gave up. We were able to improve in every team category this season and had one player (James) selected to the EMAC second-team all-conference.” “I am eager to turn this program around and can’t wait to get back to work.”

Water Court Public Notice DISTRICT COURT, WATER DIVISION 1, COLORADO MARCH 2021 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 MARCH 2021 for each County affected. 21CW3040 (2003CW84) CANNON WATER, LLP AND CANNON LAND COMPANY APPLICATION PURSUANT TO RETAINED JURISDICTION TO ADD STRUCTURES TO EXISTING DECREED CHANGE OF WATER RIGHTS IN THE SOUTH PLATTE RIVER OR ITS TRIBUTARIES IN ADAMS AND WELD COUNTIES c/o Patrick Cannon, 3333 S. Wadsworth Blvd., Ste. D-208, Lakewood, CO 80227. Please send all correspondence to William A. Paddock and Katrina B. Fiscella, Carlson, Hammond & Paddock, LLC, 1900 Grant Street, Suite 1200, Denver, Colorado 80203. 2. Summary of Application. On May 5, 2009, in Case No. 03CW84, this court entered its Findings of Fact, Conclusions of Law, Judgment and Decree of the Water Court (the “Change Decree”) granting Cannon Water, LLP and Cannon Land Company (collectively “Cannon”) a change in use of water rights in the Platteville Irrigation and Milling Company, the Fulton Irrigating Ditch Company, the Mose Davis Reservoir No. 1 and its Enlargement, and Mose Davis Lake No. 2 (the “Changed Water Rights”). Pursuant to paragraph 48 of the Change Decree, the court permanently retained jurisdiction over Case No. 03CW84 to allow Cannon to add to or remove from the decree recharge structures, augmentation stations, and water storage structures. The purpose of this Application is to add one recharge structure and water storage structures to the Change Decree. The Change Decree requires Cannon to replace historical return flows from the Changed Water Rights. One means by which Cannon fulfills this obligation is by recharging water in the 120 Pond (described in paragraph 30 of the Change Decree). The water so recharged returns to the South Platte River over an extended period of time and aids in meeting Cannon’s return flow obligations. Cannon has entered into a gravel mining lease on portions of its land. Gravel mining is likely to commence in 2021 and will continue for approximately 18-30 years. The reclamation plan for the mined land is slurry-wall lined gravel pit water storage reservoirs. The anticipated location of the gravel pit reservoirs is shown on Exhibit A to this Application. The gravel pit reservoirs that will result from the mining are known as the Ragsdale Reservoir Complex. Gravel mining will begin on Cannon lands west of U.S. Highway 85. The first area to be lined and mined is the southwest mine cell shown on Exhibit A. The subsequent construction of the slurry walls for the remaining gravel pit reservoirs west of U.S. Highway 85 may change the timing of recharge from the 120 Pond to the South Platte River. To address this, Cannon proposes to build a new recharge facility, called the Road 22 Pit, to be located east of U.S.

Highway 85 and adjacent to Weld County Road 22 in the NW1/4 of the NW1/4 of Section 17, Twp. 2 N., R. 66 W. of the 6th P.M. The Road 22 Pit is located north of the slurry walls being constructed west of U.S. Highway 85, and its planned location is shown on Exhibit A to this Application. An application for conditional water storage rights for the Ragsdale Reservoir Complex is currently pending in this court’s Case No. 18CW3132. By this Application, Cannon seeks the right to store in the Ragsdale Reservoir Complex up to 600 acre-feet of the water available under Cannon’s Changed Water Rights for subsequent delivery to the South Platte River. 3. First Claim for Relief – Addition of Road 22 Pit. a. Location: in the N 1/2 of the NW 1/4 of Section 17, Twp. 2 N., R. 66 W. of the 6th P.M. b. Size: the approximate dimensions are 5 surface acres and 10 feet deep, with a capacity of 45 acre-feet. c. Location of Accretions to South Platte: NW 1/4 of the NW 1/4 of Section 18, Twp. 2 N., R. 66 W. of the 6th P.M. d. Terms and conditions to prevent injury: The Road 22 Pit will be used in place of the Cannon 120 Pond for recharge purposes. The Road 22 Pit will be subject to all of the requirements of paragraph 30 of the Change Decree applicable to the 120 Pond. The Road 22 Pit lagging factors are attached to this Application as Exhibit B. Pursuant to paragraph 30.4 of the Change Decree, the Road 22 Pit will be subject to the same evaporation rates set forth in Appendix 1, Table D of the Change Decree. Cannon will revise its accounting form to include the Road 22 Pit. All water delivered into the Road 22 Pit will be measured by a continuous recording device. Once the pit is constructed, Cannon will prepare an area capacity curve for the reservoir and install the staff gage to obtain the information needed to calculate the water surface area and resulting evaporative losses. 4. Second Claim for Relief – Storage in the Ragsdale Reservoir Complex. a. The Ragsdale Reservoir Complex consists of interconnected gravel pit reservoirs referred to as Ragsdale Reservoirs No. 1, 2, and 3. Cannon anticipates that Ragsdale Reservoir No. 1 will be the first site to be completely mined and converted into gravel pit water storage reservoirs, followed by Ragsdale Reservoir No. 2, and Ragsdale Reservoir No. 3. Cannon’s current best estimate of the mined storage capacity of the Ragsdale Reservoir Complex is between 13,773 and 14,247 acre-feet, excluding porosity storage within the side slopes of the mined cells. The porosity storage capacity in the Ragsdale Reservoir Complex is estimated to be about 778 acre-feet. Cannon seeks to add the Ragsdale Reservoir Complex as a place of storage for 600 acre-feet of the Changed Water Rights. b. Location of Ragsdale Reservoir Complex. i. Ragsdale Reservoir No. 1 will be comprised of two or more separately mined cells to be located in portions of Section 18 and the NE 1/4 of Section 19, Twp. 2 N., R. 66 W. of the 6th P.M., on the east side of the South Platte River. ii. Ragsdale Reservoir No. 2 will be comprised of one or more separately mined cells to be located in portions of the NW 1/4 of Section 17, Twp. 2 N., R. 66 W. of the 6th P.M. iii. Ragsdale Reservoir No. 3 will be comprised of one or more separately mined cells to be located in portions of the SW 1/4 of Section 8, and may extend into a small portion of the E 1/2 of the NE 1/4 of the SE 1/4 of Section 7, Twp. 2 N., R. 66 W. of the 6th P.M. c. Source of Water: The sources of water subject to this Application are the Changed Water Rights. d. Amount of the Changed Water Rights to be stored in Ragsdale Reservoir Complex: 600 acre-feet. e. Terms and Conditions to Prevent Injury: The Changed Water Rights delivered into storage will be subject to all of the terms and conditions of the Change Decree. Cannon will revise its accounting forms to include accounting for water delivered into the Ragsdale Reservoir Complex. Evaporation will be assessed against the Changed Water Rights based on the total evaporative loss from the Ragsdale Reservoir cells containing the Changed Water Rights multiplied by the fraction of the total volume of water in those cells attributable to the Changed Water Rights. The method of calculating evaporation from each cell will also comply with the applicable terms of the decree sought for the Ragsdale Reservoir Complex in Case No. 18CW3231. f. For purposes of calculating and administering return flow obligations, the timing and amount of return flow obligations will be calculated based on deliveries of the Changed Water Rights into the Ragsdale Reservoir Complex, and not on releases of the Changed Water Rights from the reservoirs.

Provide an outline of what has been done toward completion or for completion of the appropriation and application of water to a beneficial use as conditionally decreed, including expenditures. During the diligence period, Brighton exercised its augmentation plan, substitutions and exchanges to divert water in varying amounts and applied it to beneficial use for the decreed purposes. A claim to make a portion of the conditional water rights absolute is included herewith. Such diversion and use of water is evidence of reasonable diligence in the continued development of this component of Brighton’s integrated municipal water supply system. In addition, Brighton has invested in the design and construction of infrastructure necessary to facilitate the decreed uses set forth in Case No. 2000CW202. The conditional appropriative rights of exchange that are the subject of this case are part of Applicant’s raw water supply system, an integrated system as defined by §3792-301(4). During the diligence period Applicant has expended funds on engineering design and construction of its integrated water system on the South Platte River and Beebe Draw related to the structures necessary to implement the operation of the conditional appropriative rights of Applicant’s underground water rights and exchanges. During the diligence period Applicant has participated in numerous water court proceedings in an effort to protect its conditional appropriative rights of exchange. Additionally, Applicant has developed and utilized accounting forms in order to implement the conditional appropriative rights of exchange. 9. Right to Supplement. Applicant reserves the right to supplement this Application with additional information on Applicant’s work and expenses related to its continued diligence toward making absolute the conditional rights described herein. 10. Claim to make absolute, in part – water applied to beneficial use. A. Exchange Point A to Point D: Of the 9.45 c.f.s. decreed right remaining conditional for exchange between the North Storm Drain Outfall (Point A) or the South Storm Drain Outfall (Point B) up to Ken Mitchell Lakes (Points D and G) or the Fulton Ditch (Point G), Brighton has run a maximum exchange rate of 4.51 c.f.s. This exchange rate was operated on August 8, 2013 between the North Storm Drain Outfall (Point A) and Ken Mitchell Lakes (Point D). This water was diverted into storage for later use for augmentation and/or exchange. Brighton is requesting 4.51 c.f.s. be made ABSOLUTE and the remaining 4.94 c.f.s. to continue to be conditional rights. 11. Description of place of use where water is applied to beneficial use. After storage, the uses occurred within the City of Brighton’s service area, and the water was also used for augmentation and replacement for Brighton’s Integrated South Platte and Beebe Draw augmentation plans pursuant to Case Nos. 2000CW202 and 2003CW320. 12. Names and address of owner or reputed owners of the land upon which any new diversion or storage structure, or modification to any existing diversion or storage structure is or will be constructed or upon which water is or will be stored, including any modification to the existing storage pool. Fulton Ditch Company, 25 South 4th Avenue, Brighton, Colorado 80601. WHEREFORE, Brighton respectfully requests a ruling and decree finding that Brighton has exercised due and reasonable diligence during the six years following entry of the decree in Case No. 2013CW3076, toward the conditional appropriate rights of exchange and/ or substitution, in the absolute and conditional amounts and flow rates set forth herein and for the beneficial uses as originally decreed in Case No. 2000CW202. Brighton further prays that this Court continue in full force and effect all such conditional water rights for an additional six-year period, and for such other relief as the Court may deem proper.
