After seventh-grader Alex Mackiewicz in Highlands Ranch was killed by a driver that ran a red light, Master O cer Tom O’Donnell responded

to the call. He didn’t show up at the intersection where Mackiewicz had been riding his “onewheel” scooter. Instead, he went to Mountain Ridge Middle School to console students and sta . And, he brought along his new partner, Buddy, an eight-

month-old English labrador. Students and sta at the school stroked Buddy’s soft fur, gave him hugs, and let him ease a hard day in a way that no human could.

Douglas County district poised to buy school in Parker for special education students

BY MCKENNA HARFORD MHARFORD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Douglas County School District may spend $4.3 million on a school property to house its special education programs for students with disabilities.

e site, in Parker, is the former Colorado Early Colleges charter school. It has 16 classrooms and 100 parking spaces across a roughly 24,000-square-foot campus. It would become the new location for Parker area students in the district’s Bridge Program, which helps students with disabilities transition out of high school and into independent living.

Kane said the district has been planning to move the Bridge and Child Find programs into a permanent building for two years and had included $7 million in the 2023 bond for construction of a 10,000-squarefoot building. Since the bond failed, the district has been looking for other solutions.

“ e impact for taxpayers is pretty remarkable because it’s a big savings,” Kane said. “You can see what a better deal $4.3 million is over what would have ended up closer to $10 million to build a building that’s half the size.”

Money for the purchase will come from the sale of a surplus school site in January that netted the district $4.9 million. If the deal is approved, the district plans to have the site operational for next school year.

“We’re not sitting on some kind of magic pot of money,” Kane said. “It won’t take operational resources away because of we just closed in January on a surplus school site. I also want to say that our surplus school sites should not be expected to raise $4.9 million each.”

e school site includes a cafeteria,

kitchen, science labs, a basketball court, room for bus circulation and a much larger parking lot than the current site for Parker’s Bridge Program.  Director of Special Education Liza Meier said the school would provide a huge improvement for the Bridge and Child Find programs.

“We’ll have opportunities and space to enhance our special ed programs,” Meier said, adding that the space could also help expand programs in the future.

Kane said sta have been doing their best in conditions she nds unacceptable and believes this could provide relief.

“I really want to do a tremendous shout out to our sta at the Bridge Program and the Child Find Program because they are the ones who have absolutely been making lemonade out of lemons,”

Once the Bride Program in Parker is relocated to the new school, the district is planning to sell the old site.

School board members expressed a lot of support for the plan. Board president Christy WIlliams said she plans to schedule a special meeting on March 26 to vote on the purchase.

What’s Behind the Buzz About ‘Indoor Air Quality’ & ‘Sick Building Syndrome’?

I remember decades ago, back in New York City, first hearing the term “sick building syndrome.” It had something to do with the chemicals from materials such as new carpet outgassing negatively affecting the health of office workers and home occupants.

More recently, we began hearing about “indoor air quality,” an issue that was addressed by HVAC and other vendors.

Next we started hearing about “volatile organic compounds” which was the name given to those chemicals that were out-gassing not just from carpeting but even from the paint applied to your walls. Merchants started advertising “low-VOC” products, not just paint and carpeting, that had less or none of the chemicals which could be harmful to human health.

In recent years, Americans and others became aware that plastic is not being recycled nearly enough, and in the past year we discovered that microplastics are even in bottled water. Fish in the ocean, it appears, have now consumed so much plastic that micro plastic is even in our sushi. Add that to reports of mercury contamination.

ever a gas burner is on, not just when your food is smoking. And let’s not forget the ever-present risk of home explosion in a home plumbed with natural gas. Now, that would be unhealthy!

But I digress. This is a real estate column, not a political column, and not a nutrition column, so let’s talk about the “healthy home movement” and how it’s expressed by different home builders and renovators.

That’s quite a list of health-impacting hazards added to the out-gassing from carpeting and wall paints of volatile organic compounds.

Since some of these hazards, unlike lead pipes and lead-based paint, are still legal, there’s a space in the housing market for builders who go to great lengths to reduce any and every possible hazard that could contribute to an unhealthy home. I’ll mention a couple below.

home cleaner.”

ERVs and HRVs are easy to install in new construction, but difficult to install as a retrofit, because they require the installation of extensive new ductwork of their own. Indeed, introducing such an appliance might be impossible in many homes. In such cases, an air scrubber would be an ideal solution, because it is simply installed within existing ductwork.

It has all culminated in what we know as the “healthy home movement.” Some home builders now promote the homes they build as healthy, not just efficient.

I appreciate this focus on making our homes healthier, especially for those with compromised immune systems.

Flint Michigan’s 2014 crisis involving lead in the water drawn from the Flint River and leaching from that city’s lead pipe service lines brought that issue to our consciousness and saw cities all around the country, including Denver, invest in replacing lead service lines in their older housing stock. Nothing epitomizes an unhealthy home quite as much as when the water from its faucets poisons those who live there, especially the children.

It was back in 1935 — before even my oldest sibling’s time — that DuPont introduced the advertising slogan “Better Living Through Chemistry,” and we all remember that one-word advice to Benjamin Braddock in the 1967 movie, “The Graduate” — “Plastics.”

Founded in 1992, the National Center for Lead-Safe Housing reflected the awareness of more wide-ranging in-home hazards when it changed its name to the National Center for Healthy Housing in 2001. (Its website is www.nchh.org )

One very serious home health hazard that was not recognized until 1986 was toxic black mold. Its scientific name is stachybotrys chartarum. Mold spores are all around us, including in our homes, but black mold can kill. The public became more aware of it following Hurricane Katrina in 2005. As the waters receded from homes, black mold soon covered the walls that had been underwater or experienced water intrusion.

In the real estate business, we are used to inspecting for lead and mold, but also for radon gas (which can cause lung cancer) and asbestos, which can be in drywall from China and in popcorn ceilings. It’s even in some of the glues that have been used to lay vinyl flooring.

Just within the last year, there has been new attention to the hazard of methane and carbon monoxide emissions from gas cooking ranges. You are advised to always run the exhaust fan (assuming it’s ducted to the outdoors, not just recirculating through a filter) when-

Increasingly, home builders in America (and elsewhere) are taking to heart the need to look more deeply at the components and materials they put into the homes they are selling.

In the profiles of homes featured in the Metro Denver Green Homes Tour last October, there was frequent mention of Heat (or Energy) Recovery Ventilators (HRV or ERV). The best of these devices not only condition fresh air for temperature as it is brought into the home to replace air being exhausted, they also test for high levels of carbon dioxide (which is considered a pollutant at high levels), and also for VOCs in the home’s air.

From studying high performance homes including those in the green homes tours (both Denver and Boulder), I personally view an HRV, ERV or even a CERV (which contains a heat pump), an essential appliance in any modern home intended to be both energy efficient and healthy.

A fellow cruiser just told me about the air scrubber which he installed in his house. He reported that he and his wife felt the difference in just one day. I googled the phrase “air scrubber” since I hadn’t heard of this appliance, and they do exist as either an inline unit for your forced air ductwork or free-standing if you don’t have ductwork (such as in a home with hot water heat).

I have not seen a lot of progress among Denver area home builders when it comes to sustainability, so I’m not real hopeful for progress in addressing indoor air quality. When I represented a buyer in Jefferson County last year, I attended the meeting at which upgrades were discussed. All the homes were being outfitted with high-efficiency gas furnaces and A/C units. An upgrade to a heat pump system was simply not available.

Builders are also fighting laws which would require all-electric homes — that is, no natural gas lines serving new subdivisions. Such laws are being passed in other states or cities.

The US EPA has a program called “Indoor airPLUS” which sets a standard for achieving a healthy home by addressing all the contaminants mentioned above. Colorado-based Thrive Home Builders builds only Indoor airPluscertified homes and has won the EPA’s Leader Award eight years in a row. They are currently building homes starting at $449,900 in Broomfield, Lone Tree and Denver’s Loretto Heights. Call me or one of my broker associates below if you’d like us to show you those homes and represent you in a purchase.

Meritage is another Colorado builder of Indoor airPLUS-certified homes, but I was unable to get more information.

This week’s topic was inspired by an article I read on Probuilder.com titled “Breathe Easier — Healthy Homes Go Mainstream.” You’ll find a link to it at http://RealEstateToday.substack.com.

Colorado Community Media owner purchases printing press, o ers lifeline to local news

BY SUZIE GLASSMAN

SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA

Colorado Community Media’s two dozen newspapers will get a muchneeded lifeline in the form of a printing press, allowing it to bring printing needs in-house while reducing costs and providing a longer-term solution for other publishers along the Front Range.

e National Trust for Local News, which owns Colorado Community Media, purchased the press after raising $900,000 in grant funding toward the project. e donations came through the Colorado Media Project and its coalition of funders: the Bo-

hemian Foundation, Gates Family Foundation and the Colorado Trust.  Amalie Nash, head of transformation for NTLN, said the hope is to start printing CCM’s newspapers on the press, located in northeast Denver, by the end of May. By summer, the Trust plans to o er printing services to other newspapers seeking a more a ordable solution.

e e ort to buy the press began after Gannett Publishing Co., which owns the USA TODAY Network, announced it was closing its plant in Pueblo last August. With few places left to turn, more than 80 Colorado publications that relied on the Pueblo press, including those at CCM,

scrambled to nd alternative solutions.

“We were faced with a decision point and had to gure out where to print instead,” Nash said. “So we started seeking bids and trying to gure out how we were going to continue to provide print products that people want.”

CCM wasn’t alone. e Colorado Media Project, a nonpartisan philanthropic initiative dedicated to supporting and sustaining local news, surveyed publishers impacted by the Gannett press closure and found that one publication was forced to close. Several others were wrestling with whether to go digital-only, and

at least three publishers of multiple papers opted to consolidate titles.

In October, e Colorado Sun reported that the ndings of a working group on the future of printing in Colorado, published by the Colorado Press Association, Colorado News Collaborative and the Colorado Media Project “underscored the blow of the Pueblo closure and highlighted the nearly exhausted printing capacity statewide and ‘unsustainable’ cost increases. e report voices concern that continuing those trajectories could lead to the demise of a ‘sizeable number’ of publications.”

Deputies arrest driver in relation to crash that killed Highlands Ranch teen

BY HALEY LENA HLENA@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

About a week after 13-year-old Alexander “Alex” Mackiewicz died in a fatal car crash in Highlands Ranch, the driver who hit him was taken into custody.

e Douglas County Sheri ’s O ce said that Ruben Morones was arrested March 13 on several charges associated with the crash at Highlands Ranch Parkway and Venneford Ranch Road that sparked an outpouring of sadness in a vigil last week.

Morones, 52, is facing charges of “careless driving” that caused

serious bodily injury to a vulnerable road user and death. He also “failed to obey” a tra c control signal, according to charges.

At 6:48 a.m. on March 6, Mackiewicz was on his way to school when he was struck by Morones’ vehicle and died at the scene, according to the sheri ’s o ce.

e Douglas County Tra c Team was called in to conduct an investigation, which determined Morones was driving eastbound on Highlands Ranch Parkway, in the far-right lane, and failed to stop at a red light, hitting Mackiewicz.

With the walk signal activated, Mackiewicz was crossing the

street, in the crosswalk at Venneford Ranch Road, riding a “onewheel,” a single wheel electric board.

Mackiewicz was ejected and landed against the curb line, east of the intersection.

Authorities stated in a social media post that nothing has been found to indicate Morones was speeding.

Sheri Darren Weekly said in a press release that the sheri ’s ofce stands by its investigation.

“ is was a tragedy that has impacted not only Alex’s family but the entire Highlands Ranch community,” said Weekly. “As the sher-

i , I take tra c safety very seriously, and we will continue to work hard to make our roadways safer through public education and trafc enforcement.”

A day following the crash, hundreds of people gathered around Mackiewicz’s family at a candlelight vigil by the side of Highlands Ranch Parkway.

As the memorial continued to grow, family, friends and classmates took turns sharing stories about him. Although a very private person, his mother pleaded to parents to join her in trying to make a di erence in kids’ safety as well as all pedestrians.

Rock Canyon High School was Princess Kiki’s castle for an entire week during the school’s annual Wish Week, which helped raise funds for Make-A-Wish Colorado.

Princess Kiki, Katerina, is 5 years old and was at the school as this year’s wish kid to help Rock Canyon mark its 15th year of making wishes come true. e school hit a record, raising $94,921, the most ever, while granting 11 wishes.

e student council spent months preparing for the week — which ran from March 1 through March 7 — and meeting Katerina and her family gave them more motivation to make the week special.

At the opening assembly, students and teachers waved their phones’ ashlights in the air as they sang “Let it Go” with Katerina.

Over the years, the school has raised enough funds to grant 110 wishes for children with critical illnesses and this year, that number increased.

Katerina was born with half a heart, called Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome, and has undergone four open heart surgeries and will need a heart transplant in the future.

“It feels like they thought of every possible way to make her feel special and, in the process, made our whole family feel really special,” said Desiree, Katerina’s mom.

Katerina’s wish of having a tea party with mermaids and princesses in Hawaii was met in the rst minute of wish week during their annual miracle minute.

Every hallway was decorated with a di erent Disney princess, including Ariel from “ e Little Mermaid,” and the iconic “RC” school letters were decorated to represent Katerina’s favorites.

It was one of many events throughout the week. Students and their families participated in events like Walk for Wishes, Dare to Share Your Hair, a movie night, blacklight dodgeball and more. From wearing their best hat on Mad Hatter Monday to dressing in Hawaiian clothes, the students kept the spirit alive all week.

As Katerina entered the closing assembly in her mermaid out t, she was greeted by the sea of blue shirts in the gym, with pops of pink as members of the student council shed their classic blue shirts for her favorite color.

“Seeing her face light up when we walk into the gym… nothing can beat that really, “ said Student Body President Abigail Williams.

Katerina led the school choir in singing “Part of Your World” from “ e Little Mermaid,” shoved a pie a math teacher in the face and watched as pink and white confetti showered onto the gym oor. Tears came to her mother’s eyes watching her daughter as cheers rang out.

Katerina, also known has Princess Kiki, was Rock Canyon’s 15th wish kid. Rock Canyon High School was Princess Kiki’s castle for an entire week during the school’s annual Wish Week, which helped raise funds for Make-A-Wish Colorado.

“To everyone at Rock Canyon, we want to say thank you,” said Desiree. “We had a really wonderful week and it was much more than we could have ever expected.”

Desiree said it was a great experience to see Katerina celebrated. She added

that kids who have heart disease don’t tend to look sick, so oftentimes, people don’t know that they have something serious going on.

“I think that she has felt very seen and very appreciated and that’s meant the world to me,” said Desiree.

“He was a very big help,” O’Donnell said of his partner. “One girl who was petting him said he took her grief away for a moment.”

Gone are the days when police dogs were only used for searching and apprehending suspects.

Castle Rock Police Department is pioneering the development of a therapy dog program, and Buddy is Colorado’s rst canine community response team member.

He joined in December, teaming up with O’Donnell and a clinician. eir mission: help people facing traumatic events, like the death of a beloved classmate, and work to providde comfort during mental health crises.

O’Donnell said Buddy has been crucial to providing de-escalation and emotional regulation assistance on scene. De-escalation aims to quiet tensions and calm emotions.

“ ey take de-escalation from 15 minutes to 15 seconds,” O’Donnell said.

O’Donnell and Buddy aren’t alone. ey’re the fourth team in the therapy dog program in Castle Rock, which started in spring 2021. Castle Rock was the rst department in Colorado to permanently pair a therapy dog with a school resource o cer. Before O’Donnell

and Buddy, Castle Rock Master Ofcer Scott Gillespie was paired with Buttercup, a golden retriever mix.

“She set the tone for the state,” Gillespie said. “Overnight, she was a sensation. e interventions were beyond anything we had hoped from a mental health lens.”

Gillespie said Buttercup’s success at the schools led the therapy dog program to expand to other departments in Castle Rock.

“We’ve now seen it hundreds of times where we see a change and can’t gure where it came from except for the interaction with the dog,” he said.

e dogs are trained to maintain a calm demeanor and provide a stable presence. ey are certi ed through the American Kennel Club, a national therapy dog organization, and as service animals.

In addition to Gillespie and Buttercup, O cer David Knight and Roo, a husky mix, are assigned to Castle Rock Middle School and Master O cer Luke Godfrey and Rocket, also a husky mix, work at Mesa Middle School.

“Having the dog brings people in and lets them see us as human beings instead of a badge,” Knight said.

Gillespie said the therapy dogs have had over 100,000 interactions with community members, students and school sta since the program began.

One of the biggest bene ts the o cers see from partnering with pups is that the dogs act as a bridge

to overcome barriers like police stigma, mistrust, fear and anger.

“People’s eyes light up when they see the dog, it really makes the uniform disappear,” O’Donnell said.

e dogs also assist with the county’s victim advocate program and provide emotional support to police sta during a di cult case or stressful day. Gillespie said the department is even considering a permanent therapy dog for the building.

“ ese dogs are meant to make you smile,” Gillespie said.

Castle Rock’s therapy dog program is getting noticed across the country and the o cers and canines have traveled all over to help other departments create their own programs.

“I think one of the big hopes in launching ahead of the curve is that we’ll in uence the trend across the state, especially when it comes to mental health,” Gillespie said.

Douglas County leaders look to target ‘sanctuary’ policies

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

As buses of migrant people continue to arrive in Denver, Douglas County’s leaders are poised to implement a measure to limit the unloading of bus passengers south of the capital city, which is struggling to contend with the surge.

Even though o cials are not aware of any migrants being dropped o in Douglas County, the county’s elected leaders are mulling an ordinance to prevent drivers from unloading passengers in “unplanned locations.”

e proposal comes as immigration takes a national spotlight as a top issue in a presidential election year.

Douglas County o cials framed the proposed policy as safeguarding the “community’s overall wellbeing.” e text of the proposed ordinance states that any “unplanned” unboarding of passengers in the county, which includes Highlands Ranch, south of Denver, “creates a danger situation for the unloaded commercial passengers, and is detrimental to the health,

safety, and welfare of the community.”

e proposal follows a move months ago by the Douglas County Board of Health, which adopted an order with requirements for any entity that might send migrants to the county for shelter. County o cials called the health order regarding migrants “preemptive.”

A county spokesperson was not aware of any violations of the public health order as of March 13.

In addition to the proposed policy, the county commissioners also voted on March 12 to take legal action so that local law-enforcement o cers can “fully cooperate with federal immigration o cials,” according to a news release.

“ ere is an immigration crisis in America,” county Commissioner George Teal said in a prepared statement. “While we empathize with the people who want to migrate here and enjoy the freedoms we are so grateful for, our rst responsibility is to our citizens who are already here legally.”

e county move comes as the number of migrant people who

have come to or through Denver approaches 40,000, though Denver says it hasn’t sent any migrants to be sheltered in the county.

What new law would do

Douglas County’s new proposed law would prohibit commercial passenger vehicles from stopping in unincorporated parts of the county to unload passengers other than at a “planned and scheduled documented destination.”

“Unincorporated” parts of Douglas County — like Highlands Ranch and several other areas — are outside of cities and towns.

e new law would apply to any vehicle where payment is involved for transportation, including buses, vans and trucks.

It would not include vehicles rented or leased by the driver, vehicles operated by the Regional Transportation District, or RTD, or any government body of the State of Colorado, ridesharing services, or taxi cabs.

Douglas o cials have no record of any migrants being dropped o anywhere across the county since December 2022, county sta said.

e county’s three commissioners, all Republicans, unanimously voted in favor of the new proposed law on a preliminary vote, or rst reading.

e measure is set for a second, and nal, vote on March 26 and, if passed, will take e ect immediately, according to the county.

“From a commonsense standpoint, it would be impossible for 40,000 people to come to … Denver and not anticipate that there (would) be some bleed into neighboring counties,” Commissioner Abe Laydon said in late February. But he acknowledged he did not know for sure whether any organization or local government has brought migrants into Douglas County.

Asked whether the City of Denver sent any of the roughly 39,000 migrants to be sheltered in Douglas County since December 2022 — when the city’smigrant data tracker timeline starts — Jon Ewing, a city spokesperson, said no.

Asked whether any organization that the city works with sent any migrants to be sheltered in Douglas County, Ewing said: “Not to my knowledge, but I don’t speak for nonpro ts.”

Yet, the county says a small number of migrants have sought county services.

Fewer than 20 migrants sought services — primarily shelter — during the weeks of Feb. 26 and March 4, according to county sta .

A county spokesperson said some of the people told the county they were from Venezuela, but others came from other countries.

No dedicated shelters for the unhoused exist in Douglas County, aside from shelter space for domesticviolence survivors, a county spokesperson said.

But the county works to provide shelter through partnerships with churches and municipalities — including Aurora and Colorado Springs — and by providing motel or hotel vouchers, the spokesperson said.

Taking aim at ‘sanctuary’ policies

During the meeting, the Douglas County commissioners also voted unanimously to take legal action regarding how local law enforcement can cooperate with federal immigration o cials.

Laydon has criticized so-called “sanctuary” actions, an uno cial term for policies seen as pro-immigrant, particularly in limiting cooperation with federal law enforcement.

Nash said CCM ultimately chose to contract with e Denver Post for printing, but did not consider it a long-term solution.

“Since the National Trust for Local News purchased Colorado Community Media in 2021, our printing costs have gone up 60%, which was obviously very signicant for an operation of this size,” said Nash, adding that “we started having discussions around these larger commercial printers closing and the fact that there aren’t very many options in the Front Range. So, we asked: what if we came up with an option. What would that look like?”

NTLN began researching, talking to funding partners, and putting together a plan to buy a press.

“It’s heartening to think that we

have an opportunity that helps us regulate our press costs better and that we have a real opportunity to help the media ecosystem in that way,” CCM Publisher Linda Shapley said.

While the print newspaper and magazine market has steadily declined since the mid-2000s, it’s still projected to earn $123.5 billion in the U.S. this year. Many communities still lack reliable internet access, and some people continue to prefer printed news, according to Nash.

And getting a paper copy to commemorate an event is still meaningful for many. Recently, parents whose children were featured in a bilingual newsletter dedicated to Commerce City reached out to Shapley, asking if there were printed copies available.

“You can show the story on your phone or a computer, but it’s just not the same,” she said.

At the same time, CCM has fo-

La Ciudad ¡Hola!

cused on its digital transformation, relaunching its websites last fall and introducing new newsletters. Shapley said it’s important to give people news in all the formats they

want it.

“As much as people talk about how print is going away, the fact of the matter is that it’s still here, and it needs support,” Shapley said.

The National Trust for Local News, owner of Colorado Community Media, is aiming for a May start to printing its newspapers. COURTESY OF IMPRESSIONS WORLDWIDE

The vital role of ER teamwork

Ski resort hospital emergency rooms stand at the intersection of adventure and safety, catering to the needs of winter sports enthusiasts who seek thrills on the slopes.

ese unique medical facilities face a distinct set of challenges, from treating skiing and snowboarding injuries to managing cold-related conditions. In such an environment, teamwork emerges as a cornerstone of effective care delivery, ensuring that patients receive prompt and comprehensive treatment to enjoy the snowy playground safely.

In the midst of snow-capped peaks and bustling ski resorts, hospital emergency rooms serve as vital hubs of medical care. Skiers and snowboarders ock to these facilities for treatment of injuries ranging from minor bruises to severe fractures and head traumas. In this fast-paced and dynamic setting, teamwork is not just a luxury but a necessity. Healthcare professionals from various disciplines collaborate closely to address the unique medical needs of winter sports enthusiasts.

One of the primary bene ts of teamwork in ski resort hospital emergency rooms is the ability to respond swiftly and decisively to skiing and snowboarding accidents. Winter sports injuries can occur suddenly and unpredictably, requiring immediate attention and intervention. rough e ective teamwork, emergency room sta can triage patients e ciently, prioritize treatments based on the severity of injuries, and mobilize resources to provide timely care. is coordinated approach is essential for minimizing delays and optimizing patient outcomes in critical situations.

Moreover, teamwork fosters a culture of communication and collaboration among healthcare professionals in ski resort emergency rooms. Clear and open communication is crucial for ensuring that everyone is aligned on treatment plans, sharing pertinent information about patient injuries, and coordinating care seamlessly.

Whether it’s consulting with orthopedic surgeons about complex fractures or collaborating with radiologists to interpret imaging studies, effective communication enables the entire team to work together cohesively, enhancing patient safety and satisfaction.

In addition to communication, teamwork promotes mutual support and shared accountability among emergency room sta . Ski resort hospital emergency rooms often operate under chal-

lenging conditions, including extreme weather, high patient volumes, and limited resources. In these demanding environments, team members rally around each other, o ering assistance, encouragement, and empathy. Whether it’s assisting with patient transfers, helping colleagues navigate complex cases, or simply providing emotional support during stressful situations, the camaraderie among emergency room sta strengthens their resilience and ability to deliver exceptional care under pressure.

Beyond its immediate impact on patient care, teamwork in ski resort hospital emergency rooms also fosters a culture of continuous learning and improvement. rough regular training sessions, simulation exercises, and debrie ngs, emergency room sta have the opportunity to enhance their skills, re ne their protocols, and stay abreast of the latest developments in winter sports medicine. By sharing experiences, analyzing case studies, and identifying areas for enhancement, the emergency room team can continuously elevate the quality and e ciency of care delivery, ultimately improving outcomes for patients on the slopes.

Teamwork is the linchpin of ski resort hospital emergency rooms, enabling healthcare professionals to provide prompt, comprehensive, and compassionate care to winter sports enthusiasts. From triaging patients and coordinating treatments to communicating e ectively and fostering interdisciplinary collaboration, teamwork is essential for navigating the unique challenges

of winter sports medicine. By working together seamlessly, emergency room sta can ensure that skiers and snowboarders receive the care they need to enjoy the thrill of the mountains safely and responsibly. In ski resort emergency rooms, teamwork isn’t just important—it’s indispensable.

I wrote this column because recently I was a patient at the Vail Valley Hospital. And this past week, I actually had to go twice in three days. I watched in amazement as the team in the ER handled all types of serious injuries with professionalism, compassion, speed, and accuracy. e teams that cared for me, Kacy, Laura, Mary, Ashley, Brandon, Megan, Emily, Chris, Jason, Becca, and Drs. Stone and Zeller were beacons of all took amazing interest in my care and getting me released. A huge shout out to you all, I appreciate you so much.

Sometimes when we are the patient, we lose our patience, and I would just ask you to try and understand the bigger picture. I would love to hear your story of hospital ER appreciation at gotonorton@gmail.com and when we can understand the levels of stress these terms work under to deliver exemplary care, it really will be a better than good life.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Democrats’ truck nonsense

“Like A Rock.” “Built Ford Tough.” “Guts. Glory. Ram.” ese taglines have come to represent America’s truck industry over the decades. Unlike these pickups that have built Colorado from the ground up or bring joy to countless families with campers and boats, Democrats are content to put down the middle class even more.

Enter Senate Bill 24-036. In a desire to hoard more tax dollars, Colorado Democrats have devised another tax for us to pay on vehicles we’re already taxed on. Known as the “Vulnerable Road User Protection Enterprise,” Colorado’s middle class, whose only fault is owning a large SUV or pickup truck, now get to pay more for the pleasure of living in this eroding paradise.

Funds generated from this new tax will go toward “pedestrian and bike lanes” overseen by the state under the guise of saving lives.

Who knew F-150s were on a killing spree?

At its core, this bill penalizes hardworking, blue-collar residents and gives insult to injury by piling on small businesses that rely on these vehicles — the same businesses grappling with rising costs in the highest in ationary metro area in the country. is tax hike will erode pro t margins, hinder growth, undermine our entrepreneurial spirit and sti e economic mobility.

en there’s the “common sense” factor. For rural and mountainous communities, these vehicles are not mere luxuries — they’re essential tools for navigating challenging terrain and weather conditions.

ey serve as lifelines for business owners, contractors and families who depend on their utility for transportation, hauling goods and enjoying the outdoors. But that requires common sense.

Here we are, once again, faced with more taxes from Democrats. All with the goal of building some leftist utopia using other people’s money — without their consent. Maybe the preferred tagline for Democrats to truck owners is “Truck You.”

Flawed analysis? In Southeast Asia, Laos is still a Communist country and Cambodia had the infamous Pol Pot and the Khmer Rouge extend a murderous rule over Cambodia in the years after the Vietnam War. As for the threats to the Ukraine and the Baltic countries, the threats there are very real. Putin is bent on reestablishing the USSR. Your analysis is awed because you think Putin will stop at the Ukraine, China is looking at annexing Taiwan and controlling the South China Sea, and North Korea could threaten South Korea.

Learn from history

In response to Raoul De Chant’s March 7 letter, “Flawed analysis”:

A more accurate analysis would be Neville Chamberlain’s failed attempt to have peace in our time with his appeasement of Hitler. Appeasement will just make the dictators more aggressive if we do not have the backbone to stand up to them. We lost 58,220 in the Vietnam con ict. How many have we lost in the Ukraine? How many would we lose if you are wrong about their aggression?

ere was a spunky country trying to fend o the superpower of its day and without the support of France, the USA would not exist today. Our Founding Fathers knew we had to have France to aid us in throwing o the shackles of British rule and now the Ukraine is looking for the same help. We were the arsenal of democracy in World War 2, and you want to abandon countries because you think they do not matter. I am glad France did not feel that way about us.

In response to Raoul De Chant’s March 7 letter, “Flawed analysis”:

Mr. De Chant’s analysis is indeed awed. Rather than looking to the Domino eory and Vietnam as a reason for the United States not to support the Ukraine, the proper historical parallel is the Sudetenland crisis of the late 1930s. e Sudetenland was part of Czechoslovakia with a German-speaking population. Hitler, with the acquiescence of the rest of Europe, ended up annexing the Sudetenland to Germany. After meeting with Hitler the British Prime Minister, Neville Chamberlain, returned to England and gave his infamous quote, “ ere will be peace in our time.”

Unique desserts hidden across the metro area

BY HALEY LENA HLENA@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

ere’s something nostalgic about going to the local ice cream shop or bakery when in the mood for a sweet treat. Let’s face it, everyone has their go-to dessert shops and local businesses they like to support.

But sometimes, it’s fun to explore. And there are places across the Denver metro area that serve up delicious desserts for anyone’s preference.  With unique desserts being discovered all over the area, it would be nearly impossible to list every dessert shop. Here are a few that have made their way into people’s hearts and stomachs over the years.

Bahama Buck’s

8204 S University Blvd., Centennial, CO 80122 3003 W 104th Ave., Suite 500, Westminster, CO 80031

ere are not many dessert spots in the metro area that specialize in shaved ice, making Bahama Buck’s unique, especially with the original avor pairings the business plays with.

It’s more than a place to get a brightly-colored sweet treat. It’s a place for people to leave their troubles at the door, enjoy themselves in a lowpressure atmosphere and hang out with friends, said Adam Cotton, owner of the Centennial location.

“It’s kind of a mini vacation for all our guests,” Cotton said.

Bahama Buck’s encourages people to get creative by choosing from over 100 original gourmet avors and toppings. e company’s avor team has even worked with di erent companies to incorporate Oreo’s and candies such as Nerds with their desserts.

Staying true to the island vibe, common avors include mango, peach and blue coconut. One of the signature “snos” is the Shark Attack Sno, which is a berry colada avor with Sour Patch Sauce in the middle.

Just as guests can get creative and build their own by choosing what avors and toppings they want, the Centennial employees have the authority to play around and come up with di er-

ent concoctions, which often become avors of the week.

Bahama Buck’s can’t share its secrets to its perfectly smooth shaved ice, other than the fact that the ice is made on site and there was a lot of time put into the shaving process, Cotton said.

Bahama Buck’s encourages friendly gatherings by o ering card and board games to play. e

business also has island smoothies in which guests can choose from a variety of cream blends, or if they want a healthier substitution, fresh fruit blends.

Other menu items include Acai Bowls, Red Bull Infusions and Bahama Sodas.

Yonutz! is a dessert shop that smashes ice cream and donuts together. It opened its Greenwood Village location March 15.

SWEET TREATS

For Cotton, what makes Bahama Buck’s successful are the people who help make the island experience come alive.

“What makes our product excellent and what makes our place excellent are the people we have working for us,” Cotton said.

Heaven Creamery

6955 S York St. #420, Centennial, CO 80122

7181 W. Alaska Drive, Lakewood, CO 80226

Heaven Creamery rst opened its doors in 2020 on the Streets at SouthGlenn in Centennial and has gained millennial and Gen Z attention. Since then, the store has expanded to include locations at Cherry Creek North, Five Points, Lakewood, Avon, Boulder and coming soon to Arvada.

With over 500 avors in constant rotation for customers to try, Heaven Creamery aims to educate and introduce people to healthier frozen desserts, according to its website. Heaven Creamery doesn’t use processed sugar or arti cial colors, avors, additives or ice cream llers, according to its website.

Instead, stevia, monk sugar, agave, cane sugar and/or honey are used as sweeteners for the ice cream, gelato, fruit pops, vegan gelato and sorbet.

“Our gelato, ice cream and sorbet is made with 70% less sugar than traditional ice cream,” the website states.

Each Heaven Creamery location has unique specialty desserts, including ice cream served with crepes, in a pineapple or coconut and more.

Mochinut

7530 S. University Blvd., Centennial, CO 80122 2222 S. Havana St., Unit A2, Aurora, CO 80014

At Mochinut, it’s about bringing diversity to American desserts.

e Mochinut franchise originated in Los Angeles and is popular for its Korean hotdogs and bubble tea, but it is also known for its mochi donuts. e franchise came to Aurora nearly three years ago and recently opened a second location in Centennial.

“I think that they’re a little bit more special than other donuts because they’re made with rice our,” said Erin Chung, manager of the Aurora location. “If you taste it, it’s very chewy like mochi, but then you can also feel the donut as well.”

A mochi donut is a fusion of the Japanese rice cake, also known as mochi, and American-style donuts.

Constructed with eight small, round dough balls in the shape of a circle, the mochi donut has a crisp exterior, but a soft and chewy inside due to the main ingredient: sticky sweet rice our.  ey are then coated and glazed with rotating avors and toppings such as cookies and fruits.  One of the most popular avors is Ube, which is a sweet potato base, topped with fruity pebbles. Other popular avors are the caramel churro, chocolate churro and the strawberry funnel.

are so many to choose from.

“A lot of people like to try di erent avors every week,” Chung said.

Customers can get a single mochi donut or a box of three, six or a dozen. Additionally, the Aurora location serves mochinut balls as well as soft serve in a cone or bowl.

Mango Mango Desserts

1133 S. Colorado Blvd., Denver, CO 80246

From a classic tiramisu to wa es to hot desserts, Mango Mango Desserts’ mission is “to make edible incredible.” Mango Mango Desserts in Denver is a franchise from New York’s Chinatown.

While dining in an elegant store, guests can partake in sophisticated desserts utilizing the mango. Some of the most popular dishes include Mango Mochi, Durian Dessert Bowl, Green Tea Mille Crepe and the Coconut Mango Infused Smoothie.

In addition to uniquely layered crepe cakes, Mango Mango Desserts have traditional avors mixed with modern desserts.

Mango ice cream can be paired with snow white mango juice sago and pomelo or strawberry mango juice sago and lychee jelly. Other dishes include a rice or watermelon ball, herbal jelly, mustang king durian, black rice and more.

Yonutz!

7939 E Arapahoe Road, Greenwood Village, CO 80112

Having to choose between ice cream or donuts won’t have to be an option thanks to Yonutz!, a colorful dessert shop that smashes the two desserts together. Yonutz opened its Greenwood Village location March 15.

e now-viral sensation, Yonutz SMASHED Donut, was created in 2018 in South Florida when

someone asked Tony Bahu how he was going to

“We ended up creating the smashed donut,” said Bahum Founder and CEO of Yonutz. “We’ve done donuts and ice cream before, but we never did it like this. It’s so decadent and fun and grand.”  It’s simple. You slice it, ll it, smash it, top it and eat it.

e donuts are made fresh in the store and then sliced in half. Guests can choose which avor of ice cream they want inside the donut before it’s smashed in a hot press and topped with any toppings such as chocolate sauce or candy.

“We know that people are looking for an experience, looking for something di erent, something fun, and so it just kind of all came together,” said Bahu.

After winning multiple Dessert Wars – even winning the national championships – and being featured on CNN’s Great Big Story, Bahu said the store was on people’s bucket lists, inspiring them to continue to expand their brand.

Some of the most popular avors are the Nutella Crunch, which was the creation that helped them win Dessert Wars, as well as Strawberry Shortcake and Bisco Cookie Butter.

Bahu wanted to come up with something more simple and recently came up with the Simple Smashed Donut. It is a smashed donut with any avor of ice cream inside, but instead of cutting it in half and decorating it with toppings, the donut is rolled in cinnamon sugar.

Although the ice cream is not homemade, Bahu said Yonutz! typically nds something that’s local or regional and works with that brand. e menu also includes Yonutz SMASHED Shakes and mini donuts.

“We’re really excited to be able to expand in Colorado,” Bahu said. “ ere’s so much liveliness and action going on there.”

Bahama Buck’s is a tropical hang-out that serves up airy shaved ice in over 100 flavors with a variety of toppings, island smoothies, Bahama Sodas and more. Guests can choose from crafted menu items or get creative and mix their own flavors.

Just when you thought trust in government couldn’t get any lower GUEST COLUMN

Irony is the juxtaposition of one conceptual proposition with a directly contrary reality, like a “vegetarian butcher” or something that’s “seriously funny.” Or the swift enactment — during Sunshine Week — of a new state law that lets members of the Colorado General Assembly discuss and formulate public policy outside of public view.

You heard that right. Legislators and Gov. Jared Polis chose the very week in which journalists and transparency advocates annually celebrate federal and state opengovernment laws to essentially exempt the state legislature from much of the Colorado Open Meetings Law, rst initiated by the voters in 1972.

e open meetings law declares it is “the policy of this state that the formation of public policy is public business and may not be conducted in secret.”

Our state’s appellate court judges have recognized the underlying intent of the statute is to ensure that the public is not “deprived of the discussions, the motivations, the policy arguments and other considerations which led to the discretion exercised by [a public body].”

e law is meant to provide “the

Steve Zansberg and Je Roberts

public access to a broad range of meetings at which public business is considered ; to give citizens an expanded opportunity to become fully informed on issues of public importance, and to allow citizens to participate in the legislative decision-making process that a ects their personal interests.”

We acknowledge that some provisions in the 52-year-old law required updates as they pertained to the business of the state legislature. It’s not easy to comply with a mandate that meetings concerning public business between two members of a legislative chamber must be open to the public, with minutes “taken and promptly recorded.” But Senate Bill 24-157 was rushed, and some organizations including the Colorado Freedom of Information Coalition were excluded from the sponsors’ stakeholder process. Our suggested amendments after the bill’s introduction were ignored.

e bill, signed into law by the governor just a day after nal passage, goes too far and will undermine public con dence in the legislature’s actions.

e new law encourages and legalizes legislators engaging in an endless series of sub-quorum discussions of pending bills and amendments, via emails, text messages, phone calls or in-person meetings, without providing notice to the public or the keeping of any minutes of such policy-making conversations. In other words, the public will be left in the dark about “the motivations, policy arguments and other considerations” around legislation that a ects them directly.

Don’t worry, elected o cials tell us, because the emails, text messages, etc. exchanged between lawmakers are accessible, after the fact, “pursuant to the Colorado Open Records Act.” at’s what the newly passed law says. But here’s the catch: CORA declares that all communications by, or “assembled for” any state legislator that “relates to” the drafting of bills or amendments are not public records at all. So, there’s no need for legislators to hold onto, much less to make public, those electronic written communications, because they are not public records.

It is safe to assume that more than 90% of all future discussions of potential bills, amendments, ap-

pointments, resolutions, rules, etc. in both chambers of our state legislature will occur outside of public view. Not only will such policies be far more likely to be the product of backroom wheeling and dealing, but even ordinary non-tainted policies will rightfully be subject to suspicion and skepticism by the general public.

Forty-one years ago, Colorado’s Supreme Court held that legislative caucus meetings must abide by the open meetings law, stating that the act was “designed precisely to prevent the abuse of secret or star chamber sessions of public bodies.” By exempting the General Assembly from a transparency law applicable to every other public body in the state, legislators have greatly reduced the level of public trust in that institution and cast a veil of secrecy over whatever legislation is  produced.

Ironic for sure that this happened during Sunshine Week. And a sad day, of any week, for the people of this state.

We know how well that appeasement of Hitler worked out.

e situation in the Ukraine is very similar. Vladimir Putin is known to long for the glory days of the Soviet Union and a desire to rebuild a Soviet empire. Putin’s rhetoric about Russian speakers in the Ukraine parallels Hitler’s on German speakers in the Sudetenland. e Western Alliance must do everything it can to enable the Ukrainians to turn back Putin’s aggression and drive the Russian military back to Russia.

Note that Russia is already causing problems in Moldova with Russian troops in the Transnistria region, on the border with the Ukraine. Russian agitators there are already stirring up trouble and calling for either secession or to become part of Russia. Putin’s desires do not end with the Ukraine.

e only long-term solution is a de nitive defeat of the Russian military and Putin’s ambitions. e West must provide all aid including military equipment, ammunition, medical supplies, food, and yes, cash to assist the Ukraine. Failure here cannot be an option.

We must also note that Xi Xinping in China is watching the situation in the Ukraine and the response by the West. Weakness by the West that allows Putin to succeed in grabbing territory from the Ukraine, even in the form of a negotiated settlement, would embolden Xi to take Taiwan by force. If we want less war and aggression, the West, including the United States, must have a complete and total victory over Putin’s and

Russian aggression in the Ukraine.

Shaw is best choice

I rst met Wynne Shaw more than 10 years ago, when we were both volunteers in a local women’s political club. I quickly became so impressed with her leadership and organizational skills, and her admirable understanding of how government works at the local, state, and national level, that I became one of many who encouraged her to run for a Lone Tree City Council seat, and in May 2016 Wynne was sworn in as the new District 1 city council member, a position she has held now for the past eight years. Although my neighborhood is not in her council district, since beginning her council service, Wynne has always been immediately responsive to all questions or concerns my neighbors and I have had, always giving us a better understanding of both the power and the limitations that our city has in any given situation. ere is no one more responsive, conscientious, honest, ethical, hardworking, dedicated, and levelheaded than Wynne Shaw.

Because of the leadership by Wynne and others and our outstanding city sta , it’s my opinion that there is no better place to live in Colorado than in Lone Tree — and we all want our city to remain the shining jewel of the south metro area that it currently is. But like some residents in surrounding municipalities, I, too, worry that future nancial challenges from attening sales tax and other revenues and increasing expenses may impact our high-quality city services, and that increasing regional crime and transportation issues may a ect our safety and well-

being in future years.

erefore, now more than ever, Lone Tree needs a mayor who: 1) possesses a considerable depth of local and regional knowledge and experience and a strong nancial background, 2) will be both creative and innovative in working collaboratively with sta and council to nd new sources of revenue, 3) has a proven track record of successfully collaborating and solving issues with leaders throughout the Denver metro area, and 4) has continued willingness to devote the many, many hours required each week to e ectively serve our city and our residents. at person is Wynne Shaw.

To learn more about Wynne, please visit: cityo onetree. com/departments/city-clerk/ elections/2024-city-council-candidates

When our ballots arrive in our mailboxes in mid-April, I urge you to join me and many others whom Wynne Shaw has served over many years by voting for her to be our next mayor of Lone Tree.

Cast your vote for Harmon

I am a private person; I don’t ll my schedule or my family’s days with practices and activities, dinners and social engagements. I’m an artist who loves a calm home with the windows open to breezes and birdsong, my kids content while I paint my day away. I’m happy … but I’m not doing anything great for my community in my quiet little pocket.

I’ve watched Marissa Harmon be the heads to my tails for years — she is out in the world meeting people, asking questions, nding out how

to make this town better. She seeks out quiet, private people like me and invites us out into the world to events, parties and committees. At rst I thought Marissa was a social butter y, the kind of person recharged by being with other outgoing people. In the years that I’ve known her it’s become clear that while she is having fun, her energy comes from knowing she can make things around her, around here, better. She is enacting change, she’s doing when so many other people are talking.

I want someone like that in charge, someone who is so enthusiastic about what she can do for this city that she enters every interaction with a smile and a re inside her that keeps her going until the job is complete. I want to know that while I sit in sunshine and paint, my mayor is making sure that our city is not only safe but that it is a cultural and educational hub. I know that with Marissa as my mayor, this city will be vibrant, current, clean and well run. I want my mayor to hear me and everyone else who has an opinion or a need.

As a business owner, a mother and wife, a civil servant and person who wants ideas to become reality Marissa uses every moment she has to do something important. She is a woman who needs the reigns to be put in her hands so she can lead us all into what comes next. And she will. She will take Lone Tree from the wonderful place it already is into a new level of growth and community contentment. I want Marissa Harmon to be my mayor. Please mail in your ballot before May 7 or drop it o at the Lone Tree City Municipal Building in person.

Name and Mailing Address of Applicant. Triplecross 2, LLC (“Applicant”) c/o Thomas A. Kourlis, 5400 Willow Creek Road, Castle Rock, CO 80104. 2. Parcel Description Information. The parcels which are the subject of this application are: (1) approximately 86.832 acres located in the S/2 of Section 21 (the “86-Acre Parcel”) and (2) approximately 37.975 acres located in the W/2SE/4 of Section 21 (the “38-Acre Parcel”), all in Township 8 South, Range 66 West of the 6th P.M., Douglas County, Colorado (the 86-Acre Parcel and the 38-Acre Parcel may be referred to herein, collectively, as the “Property”). A map showing the location and boundaries of the Property is attached hereto as Exhibit A. A legal description of the 86-Acre Parcel is included in the deed attached hereto as Exhibit B-1. A legal description of the 38-Acre Parcel is included in the deed attached hereto as Exhibit B-2. The 86-Acre Parcel and the 38-Acre Parcel are contiguous and share a common boundary line. 3. Parcel Ownership Information. Triplecross 2, LLC, is the owner of the 86-Acre Parcel and the 38-Acre Parcel. A copy of the deed demonstrating Triplecross 2 LLC’s ownership of the 86-Acre Parcel dated February 1, 2024, and recorded at Reception No. 2024004430 in the records of the Clerk and Recorder for Douglas County, is attached hereto as Exhibit B-1. A copy of the deed demonstrating Tripplecross 2 LLC’s ownership of the 38-Acre Parcel dated February 1, 2024, and recorded at Reception No. 2024004431 in the records of the Clerk and Recorder for Douglas County, is attached hereto as Exhibit B-2. 4. Certification of Notice to Interested Parties. Triplecross 2, LLC, owns the 86-Acre Parcel and the 38-Acre Parcel free and clear of all liens and no other entity has a financial interest in the 86-Acre Parcel. Accordingly, Applicant certifies compliance with the notice requirements of C.R.S. § 37-92-302(2). 5. Nature of Claim. Applicant’s predecessor-in-interest was previously awarded a decree in Case No. 12CW224 (Water Div. 1) (the “12CW224 Decree”) adjudicating all the nontributary groundwater in the Denver Basin aquifers under the 86-Acre Parcel (the “86-Acre Parcel Water Rights”). Applicant seeks a decree changing the 86-Acre Water Rights water rights so that, in addition to use on the 86-Acre Parcel, water attributable to the 86-Acre Acre Parcel Water Rights may be withdrawn and used anywhere on the Property, including the 38-Acre Parcel. In addition, Applicant seeks a decree adjudicating all of the nontributary groundwater in the Denver Basin aquifers underlying the 38-Acre Parcel which may be withdrawn and used anywhere on the Property, including the 86-Acre Parcel. Applicant is claiming all of the nontributary groundwater under the 38-Acre Parcel in the Lower Dawson, Denver, Arapahoe, and Laramie-Fox aquifers, subject to confirmation from the State Engineer’s Office. Applicant is not claiming any of the not nontributary groundwater underlying the Property in the Upper Dawson aquifer as part of this application. Applicant shall relinquish to the stream system two percent (2%) of any and all of the nontributary water withdrawn on an annual basis pursuant to Rule 8 of the Denver Basin Rules, 2 CCR 402-6, as those rules may be amended from time to time. 6. Estimated Amounts Claimed and Rates of Withdrawal. In addition to the 86-Acre Parcel Water Rights, Applicant requests the right to withdraw all of the legally available groundwater from the nontributary sources underlying the 38-Acre Parcel at rates of flow necessary to withdraw the entire amount permitted under any decree granted pursuant to this application. Applicant will withdraw all of the groundwater in all of the adjudicated aquifers, including the aquifers adjudicated in the 12CW224 Decree, through a well or wells to be located anywhere on the Property. Said amounts may be (a) withdrawn over the 100-year life of the aquifers as set forth in C.R.S. § 37-90-137(4); (b) withdrawn over a longer time based upon actual withdrawal or local government regulations; or (c) withdrawn subject to the banking provisions of Rule 8.A of the Statewide Nontributary Groundwater Rules, 2 CCR 402-7, as those rules may be amended from time to time. The amounts of water adjudicated in the 12CW224 Decree are as follows:

adjudicating all the nontributary groundwater in the Denver Basin aquifers under the 86-Acre Parcel (the “86-Acre Parcel Water Rights”). Applicant seeks a decree changing the 86-Acre Water Rights water rights so that, in addition to use on the 86-Acre Parcel, water attributable to the 86-Acre Acre Parcel Water Rights may be withdrawn and used anywhere on the Property, including the 38-Acre Parcel.

A public hearing will be held before the Board of County Commissioners on Tuesday, April 9, 2024, at 2:30 p.m., in the Commissioners Hearing Room, 100 Third Street, Castle Rock, Colorado, concerning the adoption of the following Ordinance:

ORDINANCE NO. O-024-001

THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OF THE COUNTY OF DOUGLAS, COLORADO

AN ORDINANCE TO LIMIT THE UNLOADING OF COMMERCIALLY TRANSPORTED PASSENGERS IN UNINCORPORATED DOUGLAS COUNTY, COLORADO

WHEREAS, the Board of County Commissioners of the County of Douglas, Colorado, (“Board”) is authorized to enact this Ordinance pursuant to C.R.S. § 30-11-101(2), to provide for public health, safety, and welfare; and

WHEREAS, the Board finds that the purpose and intent of this Ordinance is to provide for the safe transportation of commercial passengers through Douglas County, Colorado (the “County”); and

WHEREAS, the Board acknowledges the unloading of commercial passengers in unplanned locations, other than a planned, set, and scheduled destination creates a danger situation for the unloaded commercial passengers, and is detrimental to the health, safety, and welfare of the community where the commercial passengers are unloaded.

NOW THEREFORE BE IT ORDAINED BY THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OF THE COUNTY OF DOUGLAS, COLORADO,

THAT:

PART I: LIMITATION ON UNLOADING OF COMMERCIAL PASSENGERS

Section 1. Prohibition on Unloading Passengers in an Undocumented Destination

(A.) The driver of a commercial passenger vehicle shall not stop such vehicle in unincorporated Douglas County, Colorado for the purpose of unloading passengers other than at a planned and scheduled documented destination.

1. For the purpose of Section 1 of this Ordinance, “commercial passenger vehicle” means any vehicle where payment is made, received, or promised for the transportation of any person, including buses, vans, and trucks. For the purpose of Section 1 of this Ordinance, “commercial passenger vehicle” does not include vehicles rented or leased by the driver, e.g. rental cars; vehicles operated by the Regional Transportation District or any government body of the State of Colorado; ride-sharing services; or taxi cabs.

2. For the purpose of Section 1 of this Ordinance, “scheduled documented destination” means a preplanned destination or stop on a planned route to a destination that can be demonstrated by a departure and arrival schedule, passenger ticket, receipt, or other publicly available document depicting the location where passengers are planned to unload.

(a) The driver of a commercial passenger vehicle unloading passengers in the County shall maintain documentation on his or her person sufficient to demonstrate passengers are unloading at a scheduled documented destination. Failure of a driver of a commercial passenger vehicle to possess such documentation at the time of passenger unloading is a per se violation of this Ordinance.

3. In the event an emergency requires an unplanned unloading of passengers, the driver of a commercial passenger vehicle shall contact emergency services and the driver and all passengers shall remain as near the vehicle as safety permits.

Section 2. Violation

(A.) Any person who violates any Section of this

Ordinance commits a civil infraction as defined under C.R.S. §30-15-402(1) and upon conviction thereof, shall be punished by a fine of not more than $1,000 for each separate violation of this Ordinance, plus a surcharge of $10 under C.R.S. §30-15-402(2).

(B.) Each instance of unloading passengers in an undocumented location shall constitute a separate violation.

(C.) Any motor vehicle used in violation of this Ordinance shall be deemed a public nuisance subject to action to abate a public nuisance.

1. Any motor vehicle used in violation of this Ordinance shall be deemed a Class 3 public nuisance pursuant to C.R.S. §16-13-305(i)(f)(II) and subject to action to abate a public nuisance as provided by judicial relief pursuant to C.R.S. §16- 13-309, including removal.

2. Any motor vehicle used in violation of this Ordinance and is also used for the illegal transportation of any person or the commission of a felony shall be deemed a Class 1 public nuisance pursuant to C.R.S. §16-13-303 and subject to action to abate a public nuisance including seizure and holding to the extent permitted by Colorado law.

(D.) The County shall provide a citation to the driver and notice to the owner of any vehicle seized.

Section 3. Enforcement

(A.) The Douglas County Sheriff shall be responsible for the enforcement of this Ordinance.

PART II: ADMINISTRATION

Section 1. Severability

Should any section, clause, sentence, or part of this Ordinance be adjudged by any court of competent jurisdiction to be unconstitutional or invalid, the same shall not affect, impair, or invalidate the Ordinance as a whole or any part thereof other than the part so declared to be invalid.

Section 2. Safety Clause

The Board of County Commissioners hereby finds, determines, and declares that this Ordinance is necessary for the preservation of the public welfare, health, and safety.

Section 3. Application and Repeal

This Ordinance is intended to be applied in conjunction with other applicable laws, not repeal or supersede other applicable laws. This Ordinance repeals and supersedes only those parts of any other Douglas County ordinance that expressly contradicts and directly prohibits the application and enforcement of this Ordinance. In application of this Section, this Ordinance and all related ordinances shall be narrowly construed in their application.

Section 4. Adoption and Passage of this Ordinance

Pursuant to C.R.S. §§ 30-15-405 and 406, County ordinances are typically presented for review and comment on First Reading at a Board of County Commissioners Business Meeting. Subsequently, after notice has been provided in the newspaper, the Board of County Commissioners will adopt an ordinance at Second and Final Reading, which is conducted at a public hearing. If adopted as an “emergency ordinance,” the ordinance will take effect immediately. Otherwise, all ordinances go into effect 30 days after publication after Second and Final Reading.

CERTIFICATION

The Douglas County Clerk shall certify to the passage of this ordinance and shall have on file copies of this ordinance available for inspection by the public during regular business hours.

Applicant requests the right to revise the estimates upward or downward, based on better or revised data, without the necessity of amending this application or republishing the same.

Source. Ground water from Cherry Creek alluvium. 2.10.5. Date of Appropriation. December 31, 1986. 2.11. Place of Use. The place of use of the conditional water rights described above shall be within the present and future service area of the Applicant, with such present service area shown on Exhibit 1. 3. Description of Conditional Appropriative Rights of Substitution and Exchange. 3.1. The 1986 Exchange. 3.1.1. Original Decree. Case No. 86CW388(A), decreed by the District Court in and for Water Division 1 on January 29, 1991, at an annual maximum rate of 10.0 cubic feet per second, with an appropriation date of April 21, 1986. The purpose of the appropriative right of substitution and exchange is to permit continuous diversions of water for all municipal purposes, including domestic, industrial, commercial, irrigation, stock watering, recreation, fish and wildlife and fire protection from the alluvial, tributary wells referenced in paragraph 2, above, when diversions would otherwise not be permitted. 3.1.1.1. Pursuant to the decree entered in Case No. 86CW388(A), ACWWA may divert water from the well structures described in paragraph 2, above, in amounts equal to the return flows from the Lone Tree Wastewater Treatment Plant, either through direct discharge to the stream, discharge to rapid infiltration basins, or land application, the credit for lawn grass irrigation return flows, and direct discharges into the stream from the nontributary water rights. 3.1.1.2. Pursuant to the

decree entered in Case No. 86CW388(A), ACWWA may exchange water and return flow credits from the Lone Tree Wastewater Treatment Plant down Lone Tree Creek to the confluence with Cherry Creek, upstream to any of the wells described herein, specifically including the Antonoff Wells and Loyd Wells located in Section 9, Township 6 South, Range 66 West of the 6th P.M., Douglas County, Colorado. 3.1.2. Subsequent Decrees. 3.1.2.1. Case No. 97CW395. In Case No. 97CW395, 2.13 cfs of the 10.0 cfs was decreed absolute, and diligence was found with respect to the remaining 7.87 cfs. 3.1.2.2. Case No. 07CW131. In Case No. 07CW131, the remaining 7.87 cfs was continued as conditional. 3.1.2.3. Case No. 15CW3144. In Case No. 15CW3144, 1.53 cfs of 7.87 cfs was made absolute and continued 6.34 cfs as conditional. 3.2. The 1988 Exchange. 3.2.1. Original Decree. Case No. 86CW388(A), decreed by the District Court in and for Water Division 1 on January 29, 1991, at an annual maximum rate of 20.0 cfs, with an appropriation date of April 12, 1988. The purpose of this appropriative right of substitution and exchange was to permit continuous diversions of water for all municipal purposes, including domestic, industrial, commercial, irrigation, stock watering, recreation, fish and wildlife and fire protection from the tributary wells referenced herein, when diversions would otherwise not be permitted. 3.2.1.1. Pursuant to the supplemental decree entered in Case No. 86CW388(A) on December 9, 1991, Applicant may divert pursuant to the exchange decreed herein so long as sufficient water is released from Cherry Creek Reservoir, or with the approval of the Division Engineer, and sufficient water is transferred to or booked over to other water accounts in Cherry Creek Reservoir to satisfy a senior call. 3.2.1.2. ACWWA may exchange water from Cherry Creek Reservoir, upstream to any of the wells described herein, specifically including the Antonoff Wells and Loyd Wells located in Section 9, Township 6 South, Range 66 West of the 6th P.M., Douglas County, Colorado. 3.2.2. Subsequent Decrees. 3.2.2.1. Case No. 97CW395. In Case No. 97CW395, 0.30 cfs of the 20 cfs was decreed absolute, and diligence was found with respect to the remaining 19.70 cfs. 3.2.2.2. Case No. 07CW131. In Case No. 07CW131, the remaining 19.70 cfs was continued as conditional. 3.2.2.3. Case No. 15CW3144. In Case No. 15CW3144, the remaining 19.70 cfs was continued as conditional. 4. Claim for Finding of Reasonable Diligence. Pursuant to paragraph 7.5 of the decree entered in Case No. 90CW201 and section 3792-301(4)(b) of the Colorado Revised Statutes, the “conditional water rights decreed herein are part of a unified, integrated system which will provide water within the Applicant’s service area. For purposes of demonstrating diligence, work on one feature of the project or system shall be considered in finding that reasonable diligence has been shown in the development of all water rights conditionally decreed herein, and shall constitute diligence toward the development of each of the conditional water rights decreed herein.” A detailed list of work done toward completion or for completion of the appropriations and application of water to a beneficial use as conditionally decreed includes, but is not limited to, the following: 4.1. Well Maintenance. During this diligence period ACWWA spent approximately $3.0 million on repairs and maintenance and capital equipment for ACWWA’s water distribution system and wells. 4.2. Upper Cherry Creek Water Association. ACWWA is a member of the Upper Cherry Creek Water Association (“UCCWA”). UCCWA developed a very complex regional plan for augmentation, involving one conditional water storage right and one conditional appropriative right of exchange with several exchange-to and exchange-from points, which was originally decreed in Case No. 01CW284 on December 4, 2007. The water rights under the regional plan were continued as conditional and certain portions made absolute by the decree entered on April 29, 2022 in Case No. 21CW3197. ACWWA is currently operating under the UCCWA plan, and has expended substantial sums on engineering and legal fees in participating in the UCCWA regional plan. 4.3. Joint Water Purification Plant. During this diligence period, ACWWA and Cottonwood Water and Sanitation District (“CWSD”) made improvements at the Joint Water Purification Plant (the “JWPP”), a water treatment facility which is co-owned by ACWWA, CWSD, and the Arapahoe County Water and Wastewater Public Improvement District. The improvements included the replacement of reverse osmosis membranes and the design, construction, and commissioning of a new biological treatment system (“BTS”). The BTS treats the reverse osmosis concentrate produced by the JWPP prior to discharge. The JWPP was constructed specifically to fully use and reuse the alluvial water rights of ACWWA and CWSD. Nine

of CWSD’s alluvial wells and several of ACWWA’s alluvial wells are specifically listed as exchange to points under the decree entered in Case No. 01CW284. Water which is exchanged up to the alluvial wells of ACWWA and CWSD is typically treated at the JWPP before delivery to customers. Therefore, the improvements made at the JWPP increase and support the ability of ACWWA and CWSD to use the subject exchange. ACWWA expended approximately $8.2 million for the design and construction of the JWPP concentrate biological treatment system. 4.4. Lawn Irrigation

Return Flow Analysis. In 2023, ACWWA’s engineering consultants prepared and submitted to the Division Engineer an analysis of lawn irrigation return flows throughout Applicant’s service area pursuant to the decree entered in Case No. 86CW388(A). Said return flows will provide part of the physical and legal water supply for all of the structures and conditional water rights described herein. 4.5. Case No. 22CW3078. ACWWA has developed a nonpotable water system, which may be served in part by the structures and Conditional Water Rights described in paragraph 3 of this Decree. ACWWA has constructed some of the facilities necessary to operate the nonpotable system. That system is currently being expanded, in part by Chambers Reservoir in Douglas County. By the decree entered in Case No. 96CW1144 on May 19, 2016, the Court approved ACWWA’s plan for augmentation which resulted in additional augmentation supplies being available to support the use of the wells which are the subject of this case. This decree also adjudicated a conditional water storage right for Chambers Reservoir. The predominant use of Chambers Reservoir is expected to be as an element of ACWWA’s nonpotable water system and for management and release of augmentation water supplies. 4.6. Chambers Reservoir. During the subject diligence period, the Division of Water Resources Dam Safety Branch performed a final construction inspection of the synthetic liner installation project at Chambers Reservoir Dam and approved the synthetic liner. This reservoir operation will increase the demand for ACWWA to operate the subject exchange. Additionally, releases from Chambers Reservoir are a source of augmentation water and may be exchanged to the upstream point of ACWWA’s depletions pursuant to the subject exchange. The Chambers Reservoir storage right was decreed in Case No. 96CW1144. 4.8. ACWWA Flow Project. In 2009 ACWWA contracted with United Water and Sanitation District (“United”) and East Cherry Creek Valley Water & Sanitation District (“ECCV”) to develop the ACWWA Flow Project. When fully developed, this project will acquire, treat and deliver 4,400 acre feet of annual average yield water rights from ditch systems in the South Platte Basin to the ECCV Water Treatment Plant for treatment, then to ACWWA for use. This water will be used for ACWWA’s customers and its return flows will be used in ACWWA’s augmentation plan, which will use ACWWA’s alluvial wells to supply ACWWA additional potable and non-potable water supplies. ACWWA has numerous wells that are listed as exchange points in this Application. Water which is exchanged up to ACWWA’s alluvial wells can be stored in Chambers Reservoir for use. Therefore, the development of the ACWWA Flow Project increases and supports ACWWA’s ability to use the subject exchange. The total estimated cost of the Phase II infrastructure is $60 million for an additional 10 million gallons of pumping and treatment capacity. The Booster Pump Stations are approximately $25 million and the NWTP Expansion is approximately $35 million. ACWWA has purchased an additional 3 million gallons of capacity from these facilities, totaling about $18 million in capital expenditure for the project. 4.9. 2019 Draft Integrated Master Plan. During this diligence period, ACWWA began updating its 2011 Master Plan. The updated integrated master planning effort involves assessing the condition and performance of the existing systems, including improvements that have occurred since the 2011 master plan, analyzing existing and future water storage needs, examining existing and future supply and demand/ load analysis, analyzing and assessing treatment plant and lift station capacity, identifying capital improvement projects, and proposing an overall phased capital improvement program. The plan fully relies on ACWWA’s alluvial water rights (including numerous wells that are listed as exchange points in Case No. 01CW284) and the augmentation of the use of those wells when not in priority to ensure ACWWA has an efficient system. Therefore, the development of this planning document increases and supports ACWWA’s ability to use the subject exchange. 4.10. Protection of Water Rights. During the diligence period, ACWWA has been an active objector in numerous Water Court cases involving Cherry Creek, in which it seeks to protect its decreed and vested water rights. 4.11.

ACWWA continues to rely upon and develop the conditional water right described herein and has no intent to abandon them. 5. Claim to Make Amounts Absolute. During this diligence period, ACWWA has made absolute a portion of the Race Well No. 1 water right in the amount of 2.40 cfs of 2.67 cfs, diverted from May 23 – 29, 2022, leaving 0.27 cfs conditional. WHEREFORE, ACWWA respectfully request that this Court enter an order finding that 2.40 cfs of the Race Well No. 1 water right has been made absolute and reasonable diligence has been exercised in the development of the remaining conditional water rights described herein and such rights be continued as conditional.

(acre-feet)

Upper Dawson (NNT) 2.68

Lower Dawson (NT) 1.24

Denver (NT) 4.82

Arapahoe (NT) 5.60

Laramie-Fox Hills (NT) 3.43

Proposed Uses: Groundwater withdrawn from the not-nontributary and nontributary aquifers underlying the Subject Property will be used, reused, and successively used to extinction for all allowable beneficial uses, including, but not limited to, domestic, including in-house use, commercial, irrigation, stock watering, fire protection, recreational, fish and wildlife, and augmentation purposes, including storage. The water may be immediately used or stored for subsequent use, used for exchange purposes, for direct replacement of depletions, and for other augmentation purposes, including taking credit for all return flows resulting from the use of such water for augmentation of, or as an offset against, any out-of-priority depletions. The water may be leased, sold, or otherwise disposed of for all the above uses both on and off the Subject Property. Jurisdiction: The Court has jurisdiction over the subject matter of this application pursuant to C.R.S. §§ 37-90-137(6), 37-92-203(1), 37-92-302(2). Summary of Plan for Augmentation: Groundwater to be Augmented: Up to 2.60 acre-feet per year for 100 years of not-nontributary Upper Dawson Aquifer groundwater. Water Rights to be Used for Augmentation: Return flows from the use of not-nontributary and nontributary groundwater and direct discharge of nontributary groundwater. Statement of Plan for Augmentation: The not-nontributary Upper Dawson Aquifer groundwater will be used in two (2), or more, wells. Each well will withdraw up to 1.3 acre-feet per year and will provide in-house use in up to two (2) single-family dwellings or their equivalent (0.6 acre-feet per year), irrigation of up to 12,000 square-feet of home lawn, grass, trees, and gardens (0.6 acre-feet per year), watering of up to 8 large domestic animals (0.1 acre-feet per year), fire protection, and storage anywhere on the Subject Property. Applicants reserve the right to amend the amount and uses without amending the application or republishing the same. Sewage treatment for in-house use will be provided by non-evaporative septic systems. Return flow from in-house use will be approximately 90% of that use and return flow from irrigation use will be approximately 15% of that use. During pumping Applicants will replace actual depletions pursuant to C.R.S. § 37-90-137(9)(c.5). Depletions occur to the South Platte River stream system and return flows accrue to that stream system and are sufficient to replace actual depletions while the subject groundwater is being pumped. Applicants will reserve an equal amount of nontributary groundwater underlying the Subject Property to meet post-pumping augmentation requirements. Applicants request the Court approve the above underground water rights and augmentation plan, find that Applicants have complied with C.R.S. § 37-90-137(4) and water is legally available for withdrawal, find there will be no material injury to the owners of or persons entitled to use water under any vested water right or decreed conditional water right, and grant such other and further relief as is appropriate. 4 pages.

He, Teal and Commissioner Lora omas voted to approve a resolution to direct the county attorney to challenge state laws that limit the county’s ability to cooperate with federal law enforcement.

e text of the resolution cites that in 2019, the state legislature enacted House Bill 19-1124, prohibiting local governments from cooperating with the federal government in immigration enforcement and prohibiting state judicial o cials from sharing information with the federal government.

In 2023, the state legislature enacted House Bill 23-1100, e ective Jan. 1, 2024, generally prohibiting local government involvement in immigration detention, according to the

county’s resolution.

Asked when since December 2022 Douglas County o cials have needed to cooperate with the federal government in immigration enforcement, share judicial information with federal o cials, or be involved in immigration detention but were blocked from doing so by the 2019 and 2023 laws, the county did not address the question.

A LETTER TO OUR READERS AND ADVERTISERS

To our loyal supporters,

We’re excited to tell you about a major expansion of our Colorado operation. We are launching a printing press to serve our publications, along with many other newspapers across the Front Range.

is unique project is a crucial step toward stabilizing our costs and ensuring you can continue to receive our news in all the ways that you want.

When the nonpro t National Trust for Local News purchased our 23 news brands in metro Denver in 2021, no one imagined we’d establish a new printing press. Our focus was squarely on digital transformation e orts that have included relaunching our websites and adding a series of new news products in the communities we serve.

However, rapidly rising costs associated with printing and distribution le us and many other publishers across the Front Range in a perilous position. While we know digital is our future, we also know many of our subscribers and advertisers still greatly value the printed newspaper, especially in areas where digital access may be limited.

Funds from the Colorado Media Project, Gates Family Foundation, Colorado Trust, and Bohemian Foundation enabled us to purchase a community printing press and secure a facility in Denver to begin operating it. We’re excited to kick o soon, with our newspapers set to be printed starting in May. We’ll bring on other publishers by the summer.

e new press should allow us to lower manufacturing costs – for ourselves and for other small local publishers – that will stabilize the bottom line and ultimately lead to reinvestments in our reporting resources and digital expansion. We’re strengthening our own business while supporting our fellow publishers.

We believe every community deserves a strong local news source. Your continued support fuels our passion and drive to innovate, adapt, and thrive in an ever-evolving media landscape. Together, we are shaping the future of local journalism in Colorado and beyond.

ank you for being part of this exciting milestone with us.
