Peer visits at Parker hospital bring hope to patients recovering from stroke
BY HALEY LENA HLENA@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Something as simple as a touch of a hand and some comforting words brought Julie Pfankuch from hopelessness to being hopeful. at’s what helped Pfankuch on her long path to recovery from a stroke and now, years later, Pfankuch is spreading that hope at AdventHealth Parker Hospital with their new Stroke Peer Visitation Program.
“Not knowing what’s coming down the road for you and the struggles… just sharing that with someone can make a big di erence,” said Pfankuch.
One of the most common post-stroke complications is depression. A 2023 study published in the federal National Institutes of Health’s National Library of Medicine found that the prevalence of post-stroke depression is high, is often underestimated and tends to occur months after stroke.
Recently retired from the hospital, Kimberly Roth was the stroke coordinator at AdventHealth Parker. roughout her nearly two decades at the hospital, she saw the number of stroke patients at the hospital increasing.
Program. With the premises of giving hope to people who have had a stroke, the program was created by Kimberly Roth, who saw a need for ongoing support for stroke survivors.
Douglas County School Board delays action on protections for trans students
BY MCKENNA HARFORD MHARFORD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Following backlash from a group of parents, elected ofcials and others opposed to updating discrimination policies to include transgender students, the board for the Douglas County School District has inde nitely delayed a vote on the matter.
Proposed changes to the policies would have explicitly prohibited discrimination and harassment against transgender and nonbinary students, mirroring new language in the federal Title IX law as well as a 2023 Colorado law.
Board president Christy Williams said the board received over 100 emails about the proposed changes prior to a meeting on June 18 and that she wanted to delay action on the matter to give the board more time to get information about the impacts of the changes.

It’s Time for Listing Agents to Get on the Narrated Video Walk-Through Bandwagon
For 15 years Golden Real Estate has been almost the only brokerage which does live-action video tours of its listings. Other brokerages make use of the “virtual tour” field in the MLS for videos that are nothing more than slideshows with music or Matterport tours which are interactive but miss the vital ingredient of a live action video tour — narration such as you’d get if you were walking through the house with the listing agent.
points of each room. To get a feel for this kind of video tour, go online to www.GRElistings.com and click on any one of our listings to watch the narrated video tour.
Our video tours are designed to simulate a live showing. As such, the video starts on the street, with me (or a broker associate) introducing the listing and perhaps showing the street scene. “Now let’s go inside and check out this home.”
Cut to the foyer and a walk through of the home, speaking as we go. “Notice the hardwood floors…. That’s a woodburning fireplace…. See the skylight in the vaulted ceiling…. These are Corian countertops…. The high efficiency washer and dryer are included…. Notice the mountain view out the kitchen window….” You get the idea.
No slideshow with music can compete with a narrated walk-through with the listing agent pointing out the selling
What makes this the right time for listing agents from other brokerages begin producing narrated video tours is the NAR settlement, which is likely to reduce the number of in-person showings at listed properties. If every listing had a narrated video tour, the number of showings would be reduced, because only those who watched the video tour and knew this listing might be a contender for them would go to the trouble of calling the listing agent or engaging a buyer agent to show them the listing.
By the way, narrated video tours are essential for attracting out-of-town buyers. More than once, an out-of-town buyer has gone under contract for one of our listings based solely on the narrated video tour, because they feel as if they have toured the home. The buyers still have the opportunity to terminate when they fly in for the inspection. None of those buyers terminated, however.
So, in this video age, what is keeping the majority — the vast majority — of
I Foresee a Surge in Buyer Activity This Summer
The primary outcome of the muchdiscussed NAR settlement announced in March is that buyers will now have to compensate agents representing them in the purchase of homes.
That change is scheduled to take effect on August 17th, so it makes sense that home buyers who have been “on the fence” are getting serious now about buying a home while they can still count on the seller, not them, paying their agent’s commission.
It doesn’t matter that their fear is unfounded. I fully expect sellers to keep offering to pay a “co-op” commission to the agents who bring them a buyer, even though that commission cannot be mentioned anywhere on the MLS.
Just this month, REcolorado, the Denver MLS, quietly introduced a new field for all listings. It’s a field to list another website, such as the websites we already create for every listing, and that website is allowed to mention the co-op commission for buyer agents since it does not derive its data from the MLS. If you want to see what that looks like, simply go to the website for my latest listing, www.ArvadaHome.info There on the home page of the website you will see the 2.8% co-op commission my seller is offering to buyer agents
under the headline, “Buyer Agent Commission Details.”
Nevertheless, the fear is very real among buyers that they will have to pony some serious money on top of their purchase price and loan expenses to pay for professional representation. Another development in this regard is the introduction of new mobile software called LivePad, which facilitates the process of showing homes to buyers when the showing agent doesn’t yet have a signed compensation agreement. In addition to some fine features for setting up a tour of listings, the tabletbased software allows the showing agent to create that requisite agreement on the tablet where the buyer can sign it digitally before entering the first listing. If the compensation agreement is for just that one day, the buyer can avoid paying the specified fee to their showing agent by waiting until the next day to make an offer under a new agreement. There may also be a surge in sellers putting their homes on the market prior to the August 17 deadline. Broker associate Chuck Brown had a seller get “off the fence” this month and sell his home, because he feared reduced buyer interest once buyers face the prospect of paying for their own agents.
listing agents from creating narrated video tours of their listings? I can only speculate, but here is my speculation. Listing agents like to farm out as many tasks as they can. They hire photographers (as we do) to shoot magazine quality photographs of their listings. Those vendors offer “videos” of the interior and drone videos of the exterior, and the listing agents think that’s sufficient. But there’s no narration of those videos, because the videographer would not know what to say. He only knows how to press “record” and “stop.”
The Matterport interactive tours are
very popular, and we include those on our listings too, but only because they are included in the enhanced package which we purchase that includes floor plans, which are done by the Matterport software. The Matterport tours are cool because they are shot with 360-degree lenses, allowing the viewer to rotate the view and even look up at the ceiling, then click on the next marker to go from room to room. But, again, no narration about what you are seeing. To call it a “video” is deceptive. It’s just a link that is inserted in one of the three “virtual tour” fields.
Reader Suggests the Pooling of Insured Homes as a Way to Reduce the Risks
Causing Higher Insurance Premiums
One reader, Andrew Burt, recently responded to my request for creative solutions to the home insurance crisis caused primarily by the multiple natural and man-made disasters resulting in profit-crushing insurance claims.
His suggestion: the pooling of multiple homes so that the loss sustained by any one home is spread across the pool.
My first reaction was that this is how insurance works already. Insurance companies have thousands or millions of insured properties in the expectation that only a small percentage will file catastrophic claims.
Nevertheless, here is Andrew’s proposal, which he supported with some serious mathematical formulae not for publication in this lay publication.
“If I'm in a pool with, say, nine other properties, and one of them gets damaged, the insurer pays a claim but then distributes the cost of that claim over all 10 properties in next year's premium calculation — instead of raising just mine to cover all of it. (Or I cover all of it over an amortized number of years, which is what they seem to do rather than lumping their cost all into year one. It doesn't change the math of the idea. Spread the new premium costs over multiple people instead of just me.)”
Andrew compared his proposal to the Affordable Care Act, which insures everyone without regard to pre-existing
conditions, but requires everyone to be insured. (Wildfire risk is a “pre-existing condition.”) He suggested that widely separated properties within the state could be pooled to further spread the risk of multiple claims within the pool.

3 Coloradans to represent United States at Underwater Hockey World Championships in Malaysia
BY JOHN RENFROW JRENFROW@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Colorado is a huge hub for hockey players and fans, whether on ice, on the eld or even underwater. And why not? If it’s a sport, we have it here.
Ten women under age 24 are set to represent the U.S. at the Underwater Hockey Age Group World Championship in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia this July and of course, three are Coloradans.
Elsa Debrunner, Lillianna Brooks and Aria Paul will compete in the event between July 16 and July 27 against about a dozen teams from around the globe. e U.S. is sending three teams spanning three divisions to the upcoming world championship: U24 men, U24 women and U19 men. Debrunner, Brooks and Paul are on the USA U24 Women’s Team.
“Training for worlds is a big commitment, but training with Lillianna and Aria is super encouraging and makes me super excited to play more hockey,” said Debrunner, a Conifer High School alum and club athlete at the Colorado School of Mines.
What is underwater hockey?
It’s a non-contact snorkeling sport with two teams of six facing o at the bottom of the pool. A weighted puck can be pushed, slid or icked with a short stick into the goal. Equipment includes a mask, ns, a snorkel with a mouthguard, a glove, a water polo cap and a stick.
Teammates rotate dives for roughly ve-to-20 seconds in a fast-paced, three-dimensional sport that combines the back-and-forth motion of regular hockey with up-and-down movements to return up for air between dives.
“It’s physically di erent than any other sport,” Debrunner said. “But once you learn that, the communication with your team is probably the hardest part. You have to have a strategy really dialed in ahead of time because it’s di cult to communicate during the match.”
It requires elite breath control, tness and strong cooperation between coaches and teammates, Debrunner said. But the coaches believe the team is ready for a strong showing in Malaysia.
“We’re really impressed with the progress made since the team candi-

dates rst got together. e commitment towards training and implementation of the game plan started at a high level and has seemed to grow,” Coach Kendall Banks said in a release. “ rough their support of each other combined with healthy competition, there seems to be a synergy or ‘magic’ here. We’re excited to see where it takes the team.”
Colorado connections
Debrunner and Brooks are from Colorado originally, and Paul is from San Francisco but attends Colorado State University with Brooks. Brooks got into underwater hockey about three years ago, she said.
As a former swimmer for St. Mary’s Academy in Englewood, she had the tools to be a strong underwater hockey player. But she didn’t know what to make of the sport at rst.
“I saw a poster one day for a pool in ornton and it was like, ‘underwater hockey,’ and I was really committed to swimming at that point so I was like, ‘ at’s weird. I don’t know,’” Brooks said.
Elsa Debrunner, the team captain of the U24 women’s underwater hockey team, is a Conifer High School alum. Above, she’s pictured diving with her hockey stick after coming up for air in the Pacific Coast Championships tournament in Orange County, California in October 2023.

RECOVERING
In recent years, AdventHealth Parker has treated upwards of 350 to 400 stroke patients a year.
“We were really good at taking care of the acute phase of stroke, but then I knew we needed a stroke support group,” Roth said.
Roth began the process of establishing a stroke support program six years ago. She said it didn’t matter where the patients were being treated, but if they were a member of the community and could bene t from the service, they were welcome.
Monthly support group meetings started, introducing Roth to Pfankuch. Around the same time, the hospital’s stroke program had been named one of the best in the state.
“One of the things we felt like we still could do is use our stroke survivors in some capacity,” said Roth.
As doors continued to close on the idea, Roth began her masters where she studied literature and saw the overwhelming need for this kind of support. Finally, a door opened. Not knowing Pfankuch’s story of hope, Roth wanted her to be a part of the program.
A story of hope
In 2016 Pfankuch was a picture of health. She had a full-time job and was planning to run a triathlon with her daughter. en, days before Christmas, her life forever changed. She remembers looking at the clock. It was 7:05 a.m. She reached for the door, but her left leg failed and she noticed she felt “fuzzy.”
One of her son’s friends was staying with her. She called for him. Pfankuch was initially reluctant, but her son’s friend called an ambulance after noticing the left side of her face drooping and her inability to raise her left arm.
Pfankuch had su ered an ischemic stroke, which accounts for about 87% of all strokes, according to the American Stroke Association. An ischemic stroke occurs when the blood supply to brain tissue is blocked by a blood clot.
Pfankuch was administered tPA, or tissue plasminogen activator, which is a clot-busting drug that is used to help treat ischemic strokes when given within a few hours of the rst symptoms.
what was going to happen next.
“ at was probably the worst week of my life,” said Pfankuch. “Trying to gure things out and I was just in despair.”
While in the ICU, Pfankuch was visited by many people, but one in particular changed her way of thinking. Her daughter had asked Pfankuch if her friend’s father could come by.
“He came in and sat down and he held my hand,” Pfankuch said.
e man, a pilot, had a stroke ve years prior while ying an F-16 for the U.S. Air Force. As he told her his story of having a stroke while ying and being guided to ground by fellow pilots and then recovering, were words of encouragement to know that life is not over. Pfankuch found comfort in him.
Hope after stroke
Pfankuch — along with her service dog, Ollie — is now one of three peer visitors at the hospital. Nurses look to see if the program would bene t stroke patients as they arrive and the peer visitors meet them before they are discharged.
In April, Pfankuch met with a man in his 50’s who had a stroke while at the gym. She told him about her journey and how valuable stroke groups were to her.
“You only get about four and a half hours to get it,” said Roth. “ at’s why Julie looking at that clock was important.”
Although Pfankuch didn’t lose any cognitive abilities, she became paralyzed on the left side of her body — and still is to this day. She also learned that she is among the 25% of cases where doctors don’t know what caused the stroke.
Pfankuch was in the ICU for a week and all she could think about was
“It’s like every stroke survivor has a before and an after,” said Pfankuch. “You just don’t know what life’s gonna be like after. And just helping them in the very beginning part is so important because that was the hardest part for me.”
e man had missed a round of pet therapy at the hospital, so he was thrilled to learn that Ollie accompanied Pfankuch. Within 10 minutes, Roth received a text of Ollie sound asleep on the patients’ feet.
In that moment, Roth saw her dreams coming true. ey were using the community to help make a di erence in stroke patients’ lives.
“I said this is the best day of my work life ever,” Roth said.
Ollie, Julie Pfankuch’s service dog, is also part of the Stroke Peer Visitation Program.
During a visit with a man who just had a stroke, Ollie fell asleep on the feet of the patient while Pfankuch told her story and gave comfort to the patient.

Media barred from Rittenhouse event in Douglas County
BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
A Colorado gun-rights group scheduled Kyle Rittenhouse, a prominent name in the national conversation about rearms, to speak at its fundraising event at the Douglas County Fairgrounds, but the entrance to the banquet bore signs that read: “Not open to media.”
“We’re not allowing any media in the event tomorrow for obvious reasons,” Taylor Rhodes, head of Rocky Mountain Gun Owners, told the Douglas County News-Press a day before the June 15 event.
He declined to elaborate on why the organization chose not to let media in.
In April, the organization said on social media that the event would
also feature “Random rearm and accessory drawings.”
e social media post added: “Every 30 minutes, we’ll be giving away a stripped lower.” at appears to be a reference to a rearm part.
”We gave a bunch of guns, optics, accessories and thermoses away — as well as Kyle gave away 100 of his books,” Rhodes said after the event. “All combined we had over 300 giveaways winners.”
Rocky Mountain Gun Owners, a group that describes itself as a “no-compromise gun rights lobby concentrating on Colorado,” is the Colorado a liate of the National Association for Gun Rights.
e national organization helped fund Rittenhouse amid his legal case when he “was in trouble,”
Rhodes said.
at’s a reference to when the
then-17-year-old Rittenhouse shot three men, killing two of them and wounding the third, during a protest over police conduct in Kenosha, Wisconsin, in 2020. Rittenhouse argued that he red in self defense after men attacked him and was acquitted of all charges.
Rhodes guessed that Rittenhouse would talk about the case at the fairgrounds event in Castle Rock, saying RMGO didn’t tell him what to speak about other than Second Amendment-related topics.
In the aftermath of his court case, Rittenhouse wrote a book, “Acquitted,” and recently set out on a series of college speaking events.
While Rhodes said promoting his book is not the reason Rittenhouse was set to come to Douglas County, he said the speaker would likely talk about it.
Asked about not allowing media into an event at a county facility, Rhodes said it’s a private event.
“I paid a fee to be there,” Rhodes said, adding that he is a taxpayer in Douglas County himself.
To those who won’t see what’s said at the event due to media being barred, Rhodes said: “Buy a ticket and come next year.”
“We sold out of this event,” selling nearly 750 tickets, Rhodes said. He expected around 650 to show up. e RMGO also expected U.S. Rep. omas Massie, a Kentucky Republican, to speak at the event.
Rhodes’ organization billed the event as “not just a celebration of our Second Amendment rights but a strategic e ort to ght against anti-gun legislation in Colorado.”

Wine Walk returns to Parker after successful lobbying e ort at state Capitol
Gov. Jared Polis signs bill outside at Parker Station
BY HALEY LENA
HLENA@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
For nearly 15 years, Parker’s Wine Walk events lit a spark in the community, bringing people into Mainstreet shops. But when the state shut down the walks last year, that spark zzled.
Yet the cancellation lit another spark – a lobbying e ort that would culminate almost a year later at the state Capitol in the form of House Bill 241156. e bill, signed by Gov. Jared Polis, will bring back Wine Walk events.
“Wine walks are one of the oldest [events] that’s still around,” said Mayor Pro Tem John Diak. “It was great that we got support at the state level to gure out how we can continue our tradition.”
Polis swung through downtown Parker in early June to sign the bill, which is named the Chamber of Commerce Alcohol Special Event Permit. It makes Parker’s chamber, and chambers of commerce throughout the state, eligible to obtain special event liquor permits.
A special event liquor permit allows certain organizations to sell liquor, wine and beer during an event that they host.
e new law comes after the Wine Walk last June was canceled after a complaint was led with the state’s Liquor Enforcement Division. Its investigation later determined the chamber of commerce’s event did not comply with licensing laws a ecting alcohol in retail locations.
Now, a year later, the chamber is starting the process of planning its next Wine Walk.
“It’s huge for the downtown businesses, it’s huge for the chamber just from a fundraising standpoint, so it’s a big win,” said T.J. Sullivan, president and CEO of the Parker Chamber of Commerce.
The aftermath of the shut down
Sullivan was among many in Parker shocked last year by the state’s decision, saying it was a disappointment as the event was an economic driver with

hundreds of people participating.
Republican state Rep. Anthony Hartsook, whose District 44 includes Parker, took that sentiment of disappointment and turned it into action at the state level.
“ e community was visibly upset over this,” Hartsook said. “I’m going to do everything I can to help these small businesses.”
He and town Councilmember Joshua Rivero walked around Mainstreet shortly after the cancellation to hear from businesses why the walks were important to them.
ey found the cancellation cost businesses tens of thousands of dollars.
In October, a spokesperson for the Department of Revenue said the Liquor Enforcement Division claimed to have worked “directly” and “amiably” with the town’s chamber to nd a solution. However, Sullivan said there was no direct communication.
An email sent to the Chronicle last year by the Liquor Enforcement Division listed several issues with the wine
walks. ese included that sidewalks are a public right of way and drinks cannot leave a public business and that the events were not private functions as they took place in public retail businesses. e state said the chamber did not have the authority to create new types of liquor permits.
“I am proud of the fact that when the Liquor Enforcement Division told us that our events were not legal because of certain reasons, we were able to work and change state law to eliminate those reasons,” Sullivan said.
Behind the legislation Hartsook said that liquor laws were lacking clear guidance to chambers and businesses when holding events like these.
“What we wanted to do is update a lot of regulations to kind of come in line with supporting businesses, making sure they’re adhering to good, safe laws, so there’s no walking around in public carrying wine,” Hartsook said.

Sun Jr., a ‘psych mountain rock’ experience at the Mile High Hoedown
BY JO ANN M. COLTON
If you yearn to fly back to the sounds of yesteryear, you will love soaring to new heights with Boulder’s own Sun Jr, appearing at the MILE HIGH HOEDOWN later this month! The band’s sound is a blend of psychedelia, cosmic cowboy and Americana with indie-folk influences.
Friends Nod Norkus (drums), Jim Heekin (guitar/singer), Matt Kubis (banjo/singer), Jon Schimek (pedal steel guitar), and Jeremiah Streets (keys/ bass/organ) launched the band in 2013. They practiced in the evenings in Jim’s basement (“The Bottoms”), where they have become a “band of brothers.”
Sun Jr. hit the stage with a style all their own and immediately made an impression. From a spot on the “Gentleman of the Road” tour in Salida with Mumford & Sons, Dawes and the Flaming Lips in 2015, they’ve grinded their way into a stellar act that you cannot miss.
During the 2020 COVID pandemic, the band leaned heavily into long basement jams, taking notes from the likes of Pink Floyd and late ’60s bands that played for art’s sake. They branched into livestreaming to reach out to more folks and have continued to do so.
“In February 2024, (Heekin) posted a TikTok video of our song ‘Buttercorn’ from a live performance at Dharma Farm
— and it went viral,” Norkus said. “The post garnered 2.3 million views and about 40,000 new fans.”
The post was the mega break that has opened more doors to some of Colorado’s best venues and a “second media wave” of the post expanded their reach even farther, he said.
“We started receiving invitations to play in California, Texas, and points beyond the U.S.,” Norkus said.
The band’s current goal is
mostly to ignore national invites and build an ardent local fan base. To stay connected, they are partnering with Chris Wright of Violet Recording to capture their Colorado live shows to share more broadly. Wright will also engineer a series of in-studio live recordings, possibly capturing two albums from this dual recording process.
Visit sunjrband.com for the latest band information (recordings, play dates — and more)! Then, “go down” to the MILE HIGH HOEDOWN and enjoy Sun Jr.’s “Psych Mountain Rock” ex-
perience LIVE at the Stampede, 2431 S. Havana Street, in Aurora.
MILE HIGH HOEDOWN attendees can enjoy food truck food and beverages, learn new line dances with instructor/choreographer Laurie Burkardt, “creative cut” or screen print their own T-shirt with Ink & Drink, purchase a custom hat from hat shaper Parker Thomas, get a “flash” tattoo from Ace of MR.

DELAY
“I continue to stand against racism or discrimination of any kind,” Williams said. “However, I need to fully understand the impact these policy changes will have on our students involved in sports and those who utilize our locker rooms.”
e board voted 4-3 to table the changes without setting a timeline for future discussion on the policies. Williams was joined by board members Tim Moore, Becky Myers and Kaylee Winegar to table the changes.
e new language in Title IX, which was rst passed in 1972 to prohibit discrimination based on sex, protects students against discrimination based on sex stereotypes, pregnancy (or related conditions), sexual orientation, gender identity and sex characteristics.
e federal changes take e ect on Aug. 1 and the school board’s discussion of changes was set to align with that deadline.
e updates to Title IX mean trans and non-binary students are protected when using bathrooms and locker rooms that match their identity. e federal government is
still in the process of updating Title IX regulations regarding participation in athletics.
Schools that don’t abide by the changes risk being sued for violating federal law.
Additionally, the Colorado legislature passed a law in 2023, Senate Bill 23-296, which requires school districts to implement a discrimination and harassment policy separate from Title IX policies by July 1. District sta said it’s unclear what the consequences are for not meeting the deadline.
Douglas County School District attorney Mary Klimesh previously told the board that the updates would not constitute much change from existing policies.
“Colorado law and our policy have included a prohibition on harassment or discrimination based on gender identity, gender expression and sexual orientation for some time,” Klimesh said.
Paula Hans, a spokesperson for the district, said the district would continue to enforce its current discrimination and harassment policies while the proposed changes are tabled.
Several public commenters at the meeting thanked the board for tabling the changes and some pushed the district to go further.
Martha Carver, a representative for Grandparents for Kids, urged the school district to give up federal funding so the district could ignore federal education regulations.
“We recommend that the school district reject federal money, thus avoid having to comply with federal changes,” Carver said.
Former school board member Jason Page said he would rather the district get rid of all sports than for it to allow trans students to play on the team that matches their gender identity.
“If push comes to shove, a great way to not deal with Title IX is to just remove athletics from the district so if that’s where we need to go, respectfully, I say let’s just remove sports,” Page said.
A few commenters shared disappointment with the board’s decision to delay the changes.
“Trans people are not inherently dangerous, but they are in danger,” Kathleen Boyer said. “ ey are in danger because of words spoken at meetings like this, in public and on social media. e permission given by adults in this community and around the country to target and dehumanize them and delegitimize their experiences leads to direct bullying and harassment.”
Before the meeting, a barrage of
comments opposed to the policy changes ooded social media and led to a petition calling on the board to delay the vote.
Rep. Brandi Bradley, a Republican representing part of Douglas County at the state Capitol, called on her supporters to speak against a proposal on the school board’s agenda tonight. In a post on X, Bradley said the school board should “be scared of the parents who will burn them at the stakes,” if the board approves changes.
e Colorado chapter of Gays Against Groomers, an organization criticized by the Southern Poverty Law Center for amplifying antitrans rhetoric, called the proposed changes “dangerous” and said they would hurt girls in schools.
e Colorado Parent Advocacy Network, a nonpro t that supports parents rights and school choice, started a petition to urge the county school board to delay voting on changing the policy while legal challenges are being worked out.
e Douglas County GOP shared the petition and echoed the request to pause the vote. At the meeting, a representative for the Colorado Parent Advocacy Network said more than 300 Douglas County residents had signed the petition.
A new Colorado law will study the harms of slavery
But only if supporters raise almost $800K on their own
BY TATIANA FLOWERS THE COLORADO SUN
A bill creating the Black Coloradan Racial Equity Commission was signed into law June 4.
But supporters must raise $785,000 to prove there is strong community support for what the law directs History Colorado to do — assess and quantify the nancial impact of slavery, racism and discrimination on Black Coloradans and make recommendations for corrective measures.
e group is about $30,000 short of reaching that goal by a self-imposed deadline of July 1.
“ is is not us using public dollars for something other folks didn’t think we needed a study on,” said state Sen. James Coleman, a Black Denver Democrat and lead sponsor of the law. “We had a big fundraising e ort this year, and at this point, we’re short about $30,000. I feel strongly we’ll be able to raise the rest of that money to begin implementing the bill.”
racial equity study measure, Senate Bill 53, for Black Coloradans because “we knew it wouldn’t have passed,” said Sade Cooper, cofounder and chief executive o cer at CHIC Denver. e group is helping fundraise for Senate Bill 53, and helps families break free of intergenerational poverty and violence.
“We have similar studies that have passed,” Cooper said. “ ere was just one about the Indian boarding schools — that came with funding. But when it comes to really, truly, wanting to study this, in a partnership, we knew that if we went in there asking for money for something as contentious as this was, this wouldn’t have seen the light of day. at’s sad and it says a lot about our political environment.”
A similar bill, House Bill 1327, which passed in 2022, included $618,611 in state funding for History Colorado to investigate abuses at a federal Native American boarding school at Fort Lewis, in southern Colorado, and others like it statewide.
is year, the governor signed House Bill 1444, which provided $1 million to fund the Federal Indian Boarding School Research Program until the end of 2027.
State lawmakers did not ask for funding when they drafted the new
Senate Bill 53 establishes a commission to direct History Colorado to conduct historical research across areas such as economic mobility, housing, education, health care and the criminal justice system. Racial equity studies can be used as tools to qualify and quantify past discrimination and develop ways to make corrections.
Lawmakers are seen on the Capitol’s House floor on Jan. 12, 2022 in Denver at the start of Colorado’s General Assembly’s 2022 session. OLIVIA SUN/THE COLORADO SUN
Living and telling our story
Each of us is the author of our own story, a narrative that unfolds with each passing day. Our lives are composed of a series of chapters, each lled with unique experiences, lessons and aspirations. To truly live our story means embracing our past, fully engaging in the present and envisioning a future that re ects our highest potential. It is about living in such a way that our story inspires others and recognizing that the most powerful story we will ever tell and hear is the one we tell ourselves.
Our past is a rich tapestry of experiences, both good and bad. Re ecting on these stories from our past is not merely an exercise in nostalgia, but an opportunity to learn and grow. Our past shapes who we are today, o ering valuable lessons that can guide our future decisions. By acknowledging our past without being con ned by it, we can extract wisdom and strength from our experiences. Each mistake, triumph, and moment of struggle contributes to the person we have become, and understanding this helps us appreciate our journey and prepare for the road ahead.
However, the true power of our story lies in the present. e stories we are living now have the most immediate impact on our lives and the lives of those around us. Living our story means being fully present, embracing each moment with intention and purpose. It means acting with integrity, kindness and authenticity. When we live our story authentically, we become a beacon of inspiration for others. Our actions speak louder than words, and the way we live our lives can motivate others to pursue their own paths with courage and conviction.
Sun safety for Coloradans
As we approach summer, people need to remember that too much UV exposure puts them at greater risk for skin cancer. Coloradans are at an even greater risk — because of our higher altitude, we are closer to the sun. Colorado has the nation’s highest per-capita rate of skin cancer, according to CU Anschutz Medical Campus.
Skin cancer is the most common form of cancer in the U.S. One type of skin cancer is melanoma and according to the American Cancer Society, there will be more than 100,000 new diagnoses in the U.S. in 2024. More than 8,000 people are expected to die of melanoma this year, with nearly 3,000 being women.
eryone, 6 months and older, should apply sun protection every day, according to the Skin Cancer Foundation. e foundation’s studies have shown that regular use of SPF 15 or higher reduces your chance of developing melanoma by 50% and premature skin aging by 24%.
• 125+: Too high
Besides getting vitamin D safely, other sun safety tips include:
• Avoid sunbathing
• Wear protective clothing
• Wear a hat
• Use eyewear with UV protection
• Seek shade
Make sure to check the UV level and be extra cautious when the UV level is 7 or higher. Avoid tanning beds due to their high UV intensity.
Sunlight produces vitamin D, which is essential for bone growth and our immune system. So, how much sunlight is too much? Even a few minutes of unprotected sunlight can cause DNA damage, which adds up over time, increasing your risk of skin cancer. Ev-
Besides protected sun exposure, your diet and supplements can be great sources of vitamin D. Start incorporating salmon, tuna, egg yolks or vitamin D supplements to achieve a healthy vitamin D level.
Bloodwork can help identify appropriate levels. Here are ranges to evaluate your vitamin D level:
• Below 30: De cient
• 30 to 50: Generally inadequate
• 50+: Adequate
Foothills Urogynecology recommends annual dermatology appointments to address your skin issues or damage. You don’t need to risk skin cancer by not wearing sunscreen to get su cient vitamin D scores. Wear sunscreen, add vitamin D dense food and consider taking a supplement.

GUEST COLUMN
e story we tell ourselves about our present is crucial. It shapes our self-image and in uences our actions. If we see ourselves as capable, resilient and worthy, we are more likely to take on challenges and seize opportunities.

By a rming our strengths and acknowledging our worth, we can approach life with con dence and grace.
As we live our present story, we must also be mindful of the impact we have on others. Our actions and attitudes in uence those around us, often in ways we may not immediately recognize.

SUMMER SPLASH
Waters to chill in across the Denver metro area
BY HALEY LENA
Whether it’s dipping your toes in at the local pool or swimming at an open lake, a good way to beat the heat is getting in the water, and there are many water activities to choose from in the Denver metro area.
For some, summertime is a time to relax, but for others, it’s a time to be adventurous and create memories with family.
Here is a guide to some of the best places to swim in the metro area as well as enjoy fresh water.
The Splash at Fossil Trace
Enjoy the twists and turns of the water slides at e Splash Aquatic Park while taking in the green scenery of the Front Range.
“It de nitely has the more foothills-feel as opposed to the urban feel of Elitches or Water World,” said Betsy Sweet, aquatic supervisor for the city. “It’s less crowded.”
Across the park, guests have views of Lookout Mountain and Mount Zion, which is the mountain decorated with the “M” for the Colorado School of Mines.
As part of Golden’s Parks and Recreation Department, e
Splash goes beyond the standard recreational swimming pool. From those learning how to walk to the community’s seniors, the waterpark has amenities for all ages and swimming abilities.
“Not only is it fun for kids, but the adults in the world have fun as well,” Sweet said.
Popular among children is the leisure beach-entry pool that includes a large play structure, small water slides, spray fountains and “Tipper,” the 500-gallon dump bucket. But for the little ones who want to be in the water but aren’t con dent in swimming just yet, there is a gentle splash pad.
One of the most popular attractions for those 48 inches and taller are the two water slides, the green
body slide and the blue tube slide. If those under the height requirement want to ride the blue slide, they must ride with an adult. e park also has a 25-meter lap pool with eight lanes for the more experienced swimmers as well as an open swim area and diving boards.
With interactive structures around the park, Sweet said e Splash is home to the biggest sandbox in Je erson County, which also has dinosaur fossils to dig up.
Admission fees for Golden residents range from $8-11 based on age, $9-12 for Je erson County residents and $10-13 for non-residents.
SPLASH
Paradice Island Pool
5951 Monaco St., Commerce City, Colorado 80022 | 303-289-3769 | c3gov.com/paradice | facebook.com/ paradiceisland/ | Open 10 a.m.-6 p.m. daily through Aug.11
Commerce City is a fast-growing and diverse community with over 1,000 businesses, a golf course and soccer complex, 25 miles of trials and a swimming pool.
Opened in 2015 on the east end of Pioneer Park, Paradice Island Pool was a rst-of-its-kind in Commerce City.
e park ranges from a toddler pool with interactive water features for young ones to a leisure pool to a lap pool for the more advanced swimmers. Guests can have a relaxing time on the lazy river or feel the adrenaline when going down one of three slides.
Other non-water features at the park include play structures, volleyball, shaded areas and cabanas for rent. It’s a place to gather with friends and family. Coolers, chairs, pop-up tents, party decorations and food are allowed, but not alcohol and glass.
Admission rates for residents with a valid city recreation play pass range from free to $4 based on age. For nonresidents who don’t have a play pass, the fee ranges from free to $10.
One of the most popular and thrilling activities in the City of Golden is Whitewater River Tubing on Clear Creek. Daily tube rentals are open every day and include commercialgrade river tubes with complimentary life jackets and helmets. Shoes, not ip- ops, are required.
Adventure West owner Beth Battilla said when the Golden location rst opens for the season, it’s for adults and strong swimmers only. It is then gradually opened to others as the ow rate drops.
“Golden is best for most people mid-to-late July onwards,” Battilla said. “Unless you are really comfortable swimming in swift water, then by all means, come earlier.”
Although online reservations aren’t required at this location, reservations guarantee a tube and speed up the check-in process. Battilla added that reservations are highly recommended on weekends as tubes tend to sell out.
ose under the age of 17 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
While the location in Golden is an “exciting” oat, Adventure West’s location in Littleton is more of a “mellow” and “picturesque” oat, and online reservations are required.
Here, guests can drift along the South Platte River for upwards of two hours and take in the sights of the Carson Nature Center.
Children must be ve years of age or older and parking is available at Breckenridge Brewery.
“( ey) are out tted with a commercial grade river tube, life jacket, given our tubing tips and a safety talk,” Battilla said.

From swimming to jet skiing, local reservoirs o er a variety of water activities and programs.
Colorado is known for its mountain range, but there are sandy beaches families and friends can visit as well.
Cherry Creek Reservoir has a ropedo swimming area for people to cool o . It’s important to note that Colorado State Park swim beaches don’t have lifeguards on duty, so children must be supervised by an adult at all times.
In addition to sailboarding and boating, the reservoir also o ers a youth rowing program called Mile High Rowing Club and an adaptive sailing program called Community Sailing of Colorado.
Another sandy beach sits on the west side of the Chat eld Reservoir and is open from sunrise to sunset through Sept. 2. e beach is complete with showers, restrooms and picnic areas with small grills.
e reservoir is divided into multiple zones. One is the main body of the reservoir, known as the “Power Zone” and is for general boating, water skiing and sailing and moves in a counterclockwise direction.
ere are two large “No Wake
Zones” at the southwest and southeast ends of the reservoir, which are more ideal for shing and canoeing. Paddle Boarding is allowed in all bodies of water except for the swim area.
River Run Park
2101 W Oxford Ave., Englewood, CO, 80110 | endlesswaveco@gmail. com|endlesswaves.net/waves/riverrun-park/
It may not be a common sight in Colorado, but there are places to surf. River Run Park on the South Platte River is one of many and has been expanding over the years to allow transplanted surfers from the ocean to hit the waves.
“ e waves get sort of more powerful and more challenging to ride as you go upstream,” said Jacob Vos, a director of the Colorado River Sur ng Association.
e most beginner-friendly wave in the park is “Chiclets” while the other two waves, “Benihanas” and “Six” are more high-speed and dynamic as they have hydraulic plates that are in the river to help shape the waves and attune them to the ow of the river.
“ at adjustability doesn’t mean the waves work for all conditions all the time, but it certainly widens the range of ows,” Vos said.
Since river sur ng di ers from ocean sur ng, Vos stresses that ankle leashes can be deadly in an “insidious” way because the force of the river makes it challenging to reach the ankle to release the leash.
Other features in the park are conducive for whitewater kayaking and
tubing, but Vos encourages users to check the South Platte River Union water gauges — which show how much water is in the river — and recommends wearing a helmet.
If the gauges show 100 CFS cubic feet per square, it’s more mellow, Vos said, but when it gets up to 1,000 cubic feet per square, the water is more violent.
“If people are just oating or just hanging out, they can have rude surprises if they don’t pay attention to those ows,” Vos said.
Parking is available at the Broken Tree Golf Course, however, the gates close in the evening. Parking is also available on the west side of the river. If there are additional questions, like where to get equipment, the Colorado Rivers Facebook group serves as a message board for the river sur ng community.

WINE WALK
Wanting chambers across the state to have the opportunity to hold events like Wine Walk without additional costs, Hartsook spoke with a variety of people, including state o cials. He said he received support from chambers in city’s like Gunnison, Fort Collins and in the metro area.
Looking from multiple viewpoints, Hartsook said they ended up with simple legislation, changing one main paragraph and two sub-paragraphs.
“But it was a huge, huge change,” said Hartsook. “And to do that we had to coordinate and make sure that there were no unintended other consequences that would impact other liquor bills.”
Sullivan and Rivero testi ed at the state Capitol in favor of the bill. Even though it wasn’t his rst time testifying on a bill, Sullivan said he felt
“ownership” of this bill.
Hartsook added it was a “process bill” that details what is required of chambers to host these events, such as security plans, businesses involved and time and place.
Additionally, people have to stay inside to consume drinks and every business location involved in the event has to provide some kind of food.
Convenience stores and businesses that sell cars, marijuana, gas or rearms may not participate. Teachers and childcare providers are also excluded.
The future of Parker Wine Walk e Parker Chamber of Commerce is in the process of submitting permits to hold Wine Walk events in the fall, said Sullivan. However, that depends on the permitting process after the law goes into e ect in August.
“If we can milk out some bene ts for the downtown merchants this year, we’re going to try to do it because the losing wine walks hurt
those businesses,” said Sullivan.
Several new policies to increase security and volunteers to ensure people don’t leave businesses with alcohol and make the event as safe as possible will also be implemented by the chamber.
Brandi Wilks, town councilmember, went to the bill signing ceremony in place of Rivero.
“Seeing a Republican House representative and a Democrat governor come together to work on what’s best for our community, it made me very grateful and excited to see what we can do in the future,” said Wilks.
For Rivero, the win was not just for the community, but for the state. When he was part of the group that started the Wine Walk events, the idea was to get people to see businesses they’ve never seen before.
“When we started it, it was successful for us,” said Rivero. “It’s still that 15 years later, it still brings people to new doors. at kind of marketing is, I think, what Parker thrives on.”
Colorado Community Media to Hold its First 5K Run
BY JO ANN M. COLTON

NEW LAW
Slavery, systemic racism and discrimination continue to harm Black Coloradans, who still disproportionately struggle to gain wealth and access other basic necessities such as health care, higher education, nancial stability and housing.
Black people who were enslaved and unpaid for their work decades ago helped other Americans become wealthy and powerful and they’re now owed those same opportunities and resources, the preamble to Senate Bill 53 says. eir lost wages and assets not only a ect them but also detract from Colorado’s labor force, tax base and the overall health of the state’s economy.
e results of the racial equity study will hopefully show that communities came together to do, Cooper said, “what’s right for all.”
We can now be the architects for the next generation,” she said. “ at is what I want to know, as a Black Coloradan — that we are taking care of those that I might never know.”
While lawmakers and other organizations are working to raise the money needed to begin the analysis required by Senate Bill 53, many Black Coloradans are commemorating Juneteenth, which marks the date when federal troops arrived in Galveston, Texas, on June 19, 1865, to take control of the state and ensure enslaved Black people were freed — more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation was signed on Jan. 1, 1863.
“We may not be shackled at the
wrists and ankles literally, and working as indentured servants, but we are still unfortunately shackled by a lack of access to good education and a lack of access to the nancial wealth needed to buy a home,” Coleman said. “ ese are the kinds of things that still a ect our communities.”
How the commission is supposed to work
Senate Bill 53 describes a 14-member commission, to be convened by Sept. 1, that will help shape a threeyear study that aims to determine how Black Coloradans have experienced and continue to experience racial discrimination because of harmful state systems, policies and practices.
e study group must include people with legal expertise in constitutional law and racial justice; a historian who has studied Black history, slavery and racism; a person with experience quantifying the economic impact of those harms on Black people; and other public servants who have worked with Black Coloradans.
e members of the study committee will be appointed by the governor, the speaker of the House of Representatives and the president of the Senate.
Researchers on the committee may examine Black Coloradans’ ability to build nancial wealth by studying residential and commercial loan trends and tax policy, the law states.
e committee will also likely determine Black Coloradans’ ability to access higher education and workforce training programs and
may study health disparities, police brutality and incarceration, among many other trends, to help estimate the nancial toll on African Americans in the state, the law says.
History Colorado must conduct at least two public engagement sessions in di erent parts of the state that allow community members to o er comments virtually or in-person about how state government has in uenced policies that have resulted in systemic racism and discriminations against Black Coloradans. e dates for those community engagement sessions will likely be published in news media advisories and at leg.colorado.gov, when they are scheduled, Coleman said.
By September 2027, the study commission must submit a report outlining its ndings and recommendations to the governor, the Colorado General Assembly, the State Board of Education, the Colorado Commission on Higher Education, the Colorado Attorney General and the Health Equity Commission.
e study commission must also make the report publicly available on the Colorado General Assembly website.
e commission must present the ndings in the report to the Colorado General Assembly and the governor.
After that, the commission must work with lawmakers and anyone else necessary to implement the recommendations outlined in the report, the law says.
If the study determines the nancial toll of racism and discrimination on Black Coloradans, the sum will be used to help inform future policy decisions, Coleman said.
“We will begin the rst year of the work upon receiving the funds — hopefully by July 1,” Coleman said. “After funds are secured, we’d love to kick o the task force in August and begin doing preliminary work with History Colorado and the task force to talk about Black history in Colorado. en, the goal would be to continue looking at the data we have in the second year, as we’re moving into 2025.”
Job descriptions are being drafted History Colorado expects to begin hiring researchers this summer.
“As the research outcomes of this project are quite expansive, History Colorado is already in the process of drafting job descriptions, so we can move forward with hiring a team of researchers who can accomplish this serious and signi cant project,” Luke Perkins, a spokesperson for History Colorado, wrote in an email to e Colorado Sun.
“ is team will consist of four Black history scholars as well as a project manager who will help coordinate the team’s e orts,” he wrote in the email. “It is History Colorado’s goal to have these postings up before the end of summer and to have this team work in collaboration with our existing Black history and engagement team to diligently complete the scope of this project.”
e research team will use historical documents such as those already archived by History Colorado and Denver Public Library, and will work with community members to nd information excluded from those records, Perkins wrote in the email.
NEW LAW
Colorado was not a state that enslaved Black people, but the state bene ted economically from labor done by them, Perkins wrote. “Many early prospectors brought enslaved persons to the Colorado territory to do labor,” he wrote. “Colorado wasn’t considered a state when emancipation was proclaimed but enslaved people worked here prior to statehood and the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation.”
e Ku Klux Klan also wielded great power and in uence in Denver and in state politics in the 1920s. Major Colorado towns, including

But later as a student at Colorado State, Brooks was strolling the quad and saw booths for clubs. One was serendipitously for underwater hockey.
“ is girl, who was actually Elsa’s older sister (Ianna Debrunner), was like, ‘Hey! Do you want to play underwater hockey?’” Brooks said. “You know what? Maybe I do.”
Since plunging into underwater hockey, Brooks has had tunnel vision for a spot on the U.S. team. But it’s a stop on her way to a bigger goal: being chosen on the USA Women’s Elite Team, which is a collection of
Denver, Grand Junction, Pueblo, and Cañon City were hotbeds for Klan activity, and by 1925, the racist organization had in ltrated all levels of state government, controlling many members of the legislature and people in the state supreme court, and on some town councils, according to the new law.
Some of the most notable KKK members at that time included the mayor of Denver, the Denver police chief and the governor. e group’s presence in those higher levels of government has in uenced state policies and systems and created inequalities that still negatively affect Black Coloradans, Senate Bill 53 says.
Statistics consistently demonstrate the disparities that Black people still face show there’s no better

Still, representing her country competitively is a dream come true.
e team will battle against “10 to 12” other national teams, including Malaysia, New Zealand, South Africa, Australia and others.
A collection of women from all over the country, the national team met in January at a tournament in Colorado for the rst time. ey also had a training camp in Lake Tahoe in California for a week earlier this year.

time for states to pass similar legislation, Cooper said.
In 2020, the homeownership gap between Black and white Coloradans was 32%. Black people in Colorado are incarcerated at a rate that is more than seven times higher than white people in the state, according to the Prison Policy Initiative. Black people face a higher unemployment rate compared with any other racial group in the state. Black Coloradans also face many poor health outcomes at rates much higher than white Coloradans such as food insecurity, infant and maternal mortality, asthma, diabetes and HIV and AIDS. Despite the falling poverty rates, in 2021, Black Coloradans were still about twice as likely to live in poverty when compared with white Coloradans,

“We collect this data but it hasn’t been organized,” Coleman said. “We will use this information to help determine what policies we can run in the future.

In Rittenhouse’s court case, a jury found him not guilty of ve felony charges, including a murder charge that could have carried a life-in-prison sentence, the Associated Press reported.
Rittenhouse was charged with homicide, attempted homicide and reckless endangering for his shootings with an AR-
style semi-automatic ri e during a tumultuous night of protests over the shooting of a Black man, Jacob Blake, by a white Kenosha police o cer.
e teenage Rittenhouse said that he went to Kenosha to protect property from rioters but that he came under attack and feared for his life.
Rittenhouse had also been charged with possession of a dangerous weapon by a person under 18, a misdemeanor that carries nine months behind bars and appeared likely to lead to a conviction, the AP reported.
But the judge threw out that charge after the defense argued that the Wisconsin law did not apply to the long-barreled ri e used by Rittenhouse.
CLOSURE
“If it appears that tra c through that area is getting bad, they will close it southbound,” Heyden said. At the closure, golfers headed to a nearby golf course will be allowed through with a con rmed tee time. Residents living in the area will also be allowed through.
“We will trust that if they say they live there, they do. If it appears they
may not, they may be asked for proof,” Heyden said. “We would like to trust people to be honest.” e closure does not a ect anyone going northbound, Heyden said.

CASE NO. 2024CW3080 COLORADO DIVISION OF PARKS AND WILDLIFE AND THE PARKS AND WILDLIFE COMMISSION, 317 W. Prospect Rd., Fort Collins, Colorado 80526. Please send all correspondence and inquiries regarding this matter to: Elizabeth M. Joyce 720-5086761, and Christopher Stork 720-508-6311, Office of the Attorney General, 1300 Broadway, 7th Floor, Denver, Colorado. APPLICATION FOR FINDINGS OF REASONABLE DILIGENCE IN JEFFERSON AND DOUGLAS COUNTIES. 1. Name, mailing address, e-mail address, and telephone number of applicant: Colorado Division of Parks and Wildlife (“CPW”), Attn: Pete Conovitz, Water Rights Program Administrator, 317 W. Prospect Rd., Fort Collins, Colorado 80526, 970-666-1365, pete.conovitz@state.co.us. 2.
Name of structure: Chatfield Fish Unit. 3. Description of project features: Chatfield Reservoir is a flood control structure located at the confluence of Plum Creek and the South Platte River. As part of the project, the United States Army Corps of Engineers reserved a site below the dam for construction of a fish hatchery to be managed and operated by the Colorado Division of Parks and Wildlife. The Chatfield Fish Unit is a multistaged development. The first phase was the construction of the current planting base. The Fish Unit serves as a holding facility for fish produced at other CPW hatcheries. Fish held at this facility are stocked in the Denver Metro area and along the Front Range as well as in other water in throughout the state. Later phases will expand the Fish Unit into a full production hatchery. 4. Description of conditional water right: A. Date of original decree: September 29, 1992, Case No. 80CW152, District Court, Water Division 1. B. Subsequent decrees awarding findings of diligence: Case No. 93CW120, entered on February 15, 1995, by the District Court in and for Water Division 1; Case No. 98CW385, entered on November 10, 1999, by the District Court in and for Water Division 1; Case No. 05CW291, entered on September 13, 2011, by the District Court in and for Water Division 1; and Case 17CW3140, entered May 9, 2018, by the District Court in and for Water Division 1. C. Legal Description: The Chatfield Fish Unit point of diversion (through outlet works from Chatfield Reservoir) is located in the NW1/4 SE1/4 of Section 1, Township 6 South, Range 69 West, 6th P.M., Jefferson County, with UTM coordinates of 4378605 Northing; 494595 Easting (NAD 83; estimated from ArcGIS). A USGS Topo Map showing these coordinates is attached to this Application as Exhibit 1. D. Source: South Platte River and its tributaries at or above Chatfield Dam. E. Appropriation Date: February 25, 1972. F. Use: Piscatorial, which includes rearing fish, aquatic habitat, water treatment of the fish unit waters prior to discharge, and recreational uses. The use of the water is on a continuous flow-through basis with the water returning to the South Platte River directly below the fish unit. The only consumptive use is due to evaporative losses occurring during the retention of the water in the raceways, aeration basins and settling ponds, and is subject to the plan for augmentation decreed in Case No. 80CW152. G.
Amount: 1.9 c.f.s. conditional. H. Remarks: Of the of 20.0 c.f.s. conditional water right confirmed by decree in Case No. 80CW152, 10.0 c.f.s. was made absolute in Case No. 93CW120, and continuing diligence was granted for the remaining 10.0 c.f.s. conditional water right in Case Nos. 98CW385 and 05CW291. Of the remaining 10.0 c.f.s. conditional water right, 8.1 c.f.s. was made absolute, and the remaining 1.9 c.f.s. was continued as conditional in Case No. 17CW3140. 5.
Detailed outline of what has been done towards completion of the appropriation and application of water to a beneficial use as conditionally decreed, including expenditures: A. Phase One of the Chatfield Fish Unit was completed and 18.1 c.f.s. of the original 20 c.f.s. conditional water right has been made absolute. CPW continues to operate the Chatfield Fish Unit to meet its management goals as currently configured: i. The Chatfield Fish Unit’s main function is to receive catchable trout and catfish from CPW’s fish hatcheries in order to allow those hatcheries to produce additional fish. During the past six years, the Fish Unit received an average of approximately 33,000 fish annually. These fish have been stocked in waters in the Denver Metro area and along the Front Range. ii. During the present diligence period, CPW has continued to implement a policy which does not allow fish infected with whirling disease to be stocked in waters that are disease free. The Chatfield Fish Unit remains necessary for the implementation of this policy. The Fish Unit has tested positive for whirling disease and therefore provides the needed holding facility for fish produced at whirling disease positive hatcheries, such as the Watson and Chalk Cliff hatcheries, allowing those facilities to produce the number of fish needed for stocking purposes. B. CPW continues to operate the Fish Unit on a day-to-day basis, which requires CPW staff to regularly perform ongoing tasks including, but not limited to the following: i. CPW continuously monitors the water delivery system for structural integrity and performs monitoring and maintenance of erosion control structures, dam infrastructure, pipelines and discharge outlets related to the water right. ii. CPW continuously monitors the water quality including ammonia and pH concentrations within the water delivery system discharge area. iii. CPW operates its augmentation plan releases and performs accounting and coordination with Division of Water Resources as needed. C. CPW has continued to develop plans to expand the Chatfield Fish Unit into a fully operational production hatchery. In part, this involves securing an additional physical water
supply to the Fish Unit. i. CPW has participated in the Chatfield Reallocation Project to firm additional storage space in Chatfield Reservoir. CPW has remained an active member in the Chatfield Reservoir Mitigation Company (CRMC) during the diligence period and has participated in numerous meetings with the Chatfield Reallocation Participants and the CRMC for the purpose of firming up water supplies for the Fish Unit. CPW staff members serve on the board of directors for the CRMC and participate in the Chatfield Reservoir operations committees. CPW staff members also served on the Technical Advisory Committee for the Chatfield Storage Reallocation Project during the diligence period. CPW’s involvement in this process is to ensure an increased and uninterruptible flow of water through the Fish Unit to support its current use as a holding facility and the planned expansion into a fully operational hatchery. ii. CPW is pursuing the acquisition of 924 acre-feet of additional storage space in the Chatfield Reallocation Project from the Colorado Water Conservation Board (CWCB). CPW’s efforts to obtain the additional storage space have included, but are not limited to, hiring a consultant to advise on the need for additional storage space in Chatfield Reservoir to support CPW’s operations and assisting with CWCB’s efforts through the 2023 CWCB Water Projects Appropriations Bill (SB23-177) to appropriate $8,000,000.00 to fund the purchase of this additional storage space. SB23-177 was approved and CPW has finalized an agreement with CWCB for this acquisition. iii. CPW also reached a shortterm agreement with CWCB to allow CPW to utilize this storage space until a final acquisition is complete. On May 18, 2023, CPW stored water under this agreement, including the storage of CPW’s water rights approved as replacement sources for the augmentation plan decreed in 80CW152. iv. CPW is developing plans and working with the Army Corps of Engineers for installation of a test well for expansion of the Fish Unit. D. During the current diligence period, CPW personnel have continued to review the monthly water court resume for applications that may affect the Chatfield Fish Unit water right and has filed statements of opposition in multiple cases for surface and storage water rights in Division 1 related to use of Chatfield Reservoir and the reservoir outlets. CPW also collaborated with the Division of Water Resources to improve the measuring structure and the associated recording equipment at the Fish Unit. E. CPW received approval and subsequent renewal of a Substitute Water Supply Plan (SWSP) for the Chatfield Fish Unit (No. 9410). The out-of-priority evaporative depletions from the Fish Unit raceways and settling ponds are currently replaced under the augmentation plan decreed in Case No. 80CW152; the SWSP added additional sources of water to replace evaporative depletions. F. CPW incurred numerous expenses during the diligence period, including but not limited to: i. Annual salary for a full-time Fish Unit employee; ii. Annual salary for a seasonal Fish Unit employee; iii. Annual assessments to CRMC as part of the Chatfield Reallocation Project; iv. Approximately $4200 for improvements to the measurement structure recording equipment; and v. Approximately $25,400 for installation, maintenance and repair of automated gate actuator. 6. Claim for findings of reasonable diligence: CPW has maintained diligence on the remaining conditional portion of the Chatfield Fish Unit water right in the amount 1.9 cfs, and seeks entry of a decree for findings of reasonable diligence and to continue the Chatfield Fish Unit conditional water right in the amounts described herein. 7. Names of owners of land upon which structures are located: United States Army Corp of Engineers, 215 N. 17th Street, Omaha, NE 68102-4978. WHEREFORE, CPW respectfully requests this Court enter a decree finding that CPW has exercised reasonable diligence in the development of the remainder of the conditional water right, to continue the conditional portion of the water right in full force and effect, and for such other relief as this Court deems just and proper.

Subject Property: A parcel totaling 50.12 acres generally located in the NW1/4 of the SW1/4, and the SW1/4 of the SW1/4, all in Section 16, Township 8 South, Range 67 West of the 6th P.M., Doulgas County, State of Colorado, also known as 926 W Wolfensberger Road, Castle Rock, CO, 80109, as shown on Exhibit A (“Subject Property”). Lien Holder Certification: Applicants certify that notice has been provided to all mortgage or lien holders, as required under C.R.S. § 37-92-302(2) (b). Well Permits: There is one existing exempt Lower Dawson Aquifer domestic use well on the Subject Property under Well Permit No. 167121, which will continue operating under its existing permit.

Source of Water Rights: The Lower Dawson, Arapahoe, and Laramie-Fox Hills aquifers are not-nontributary as defined in C.R.S. § 37-90-103(10.7), and the Denver Aquifer is nontributary as defined in C.R.S. § 37-90-103(10.5).

*The total estimated annual volume in the nontributary Lower Dawson Aquifer is 10.33 acre-feet per year. 3 acre-feet per year is reserved for existing Well Permit No. 167121. Applicants desire to leave no additional groundwater unadjudicated.

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), 37-92302(2). Remarks: Applicants claim the right to withdraw more than the average annual amounts estimated in Paragraph 6 above pursuant to Rule 8A of the Statewide Rules, 2 C.C.R. 402-7. Applicants request 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. Applicants request the Court approve the above underground water rights, 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.
