Quarry Fire expected to smolder for at least a month
Local firefighters say the blaze started in a “nightmare” location and had “the best outcome” possible
BY JANE REUTER JREUTER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
While the Quarry Fire is 100% contained, Conifer re ghters expect it to burn for at least another month. e ongoing wildland re poses no threat to any structures or other hazards.
“It’s contained and controlled with lines all the way around so there’s no more forward progression,” said Elk Creek Fire Chief Jacob Ware. “ e area in which it’s burning is very rugged; there’s not a safe way to get reghters up there. Right now, it’s just burning up fuel.”
e nearly 600-acre Quarry Fire started July 30 in Deer Creek Canyon and was pronounced 100% contained on Aug. 7. Wild res burn as long as they have fuel and oxygen, and the rugged foothills provide plenty of fuel. Inter-Canyon Fire Chief Skip Shirlaw said there are decades of accumulated du —
Seniors keep Olympic fire burning in Lakewood
Two local independent living homes battled
it out
for the gold
BY JOHN RENFROW JRENFROW@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
ough the closing ceremony already wrapped up the 2024 Paris Olympics, locals in Lakewood are not ready for the competitive re to go out.
Two independent living homes in the city — e Courtyard at Lakewood and Lakewood Estates — have been clashing in recent weeks with their own makeshift Olympic Games. It’s the rst year the two groups put their skills to the test, but the trend is growing around the Denver area.
It began on July 24 with bean bag baseball (a sort of cross between cornhole and ski ball), and Team Courtyard took that one on its home turf. en the ring toss event happened at Lakewood Estates on July 31, where Team Estates struck back with a win to tie the games 1-1.
Residents of The Courtyard at Lakewood and Lakewood Estates battled it out in their own Olympics from July 24 to Aug. 14. Games included a ring toss, bean bag baseball and water cup pong.

OLYMPICS
A round of water cup pong brought Team Estates in front the following week, and then Estates put a stamp on the games with a rematch of bean bag baseball on Aug. 14 to win 3-1. e closing ceremonies — medals and all — took place on Aug. 21 at the Courtyard at Lakewood.
“It’s kind of like a rekindling of re,” said Stephanie Peterson, the general manager of e Courtyard at Lakewood, who said the groups played bean bag baseball often before COVID-19. “It’s good for the residents to see each other. It’s a lot of familiarity and it’s just really cool to get them involved.”
Peterson has a foot in both camps. She worked at Lakewood Estates for two years, starting as a receptionist and then as an o ce manager before taking the general manager position at e Courtyard.
ough it’s nice to see everyone win, Peterson is fully repping Team Courtyard now, she joked. But as the organizer and MC of the event, she’s happy to toe the line. Everyone is really close, she added.
“Sarah (the general manager of Lakewood Estates) and myself, we work so close to each other,” Peterson said. “We share a lot of residents, we share concerns, successes and everything. So it’s really neat to get not just the sta together, but the residents together. It’s really important.” e residents brought the spirit with poms, cheers and words of encouragement.
“I think, since I’ve been here, it’s the rst activity where we’ve even got together as a community with another community to have an event,” said Ted Piunno of Team Courtyard. “We had a lot of fun. We’re all seniors in the same boat.”
For Team Estates’ Kim Wheeler, it was nice to beat her fellow competitors, but there wasn’t too much trash talk going on.
“I was all in good fun,” Wheeler said. “It’s a new event, but they were talking about doing something monthly going forward. But it was fun.”
As Team Estates dons their gold medals, Team Courtyard is happy with silver … until the next bean bag baseball game, at least.

As the Real Estate Market Shifts, We’re in Uncharted Territory Thanks to NAR Settlement
Sunday was the deadline for one very significant change in the practice of real estate, as the result of a March 15th settlement between the National Association of Realtors (NAR) and a group of Missouri home sellers who claimed that the sharing of listing agent’s commission with the buyer’s agent was somehow a violation of anti-price fixing laws and just plain “unfair.”
Although I, along with most Realtors (and, in fact, NAR), disagreed, the parties agreed to a settlement in which MLSs may no longer display how much a buyer’s agent will earn if he brings a buyer to the table.
Real Estate, we’re not so worried. Below is a picture of the yard sign that in front of the solar-powered listing featured at the bottom of the page. Do you notice anything new about it? Yes, it has a sign rider telling both buyers and their agents that the seller will pay a 2.5% commission to an agent who represents the buyer of this home.
The brochure in the brochure box has that same information. You could say that “nothing has really changed,” and you’d be almost right. What has changed is that we are not “splitting” our listing commission with the buyer’s agent. Ra-
ther, the seller has agreed (at my suggestion) to incentivize agents to bring their buyer, knowing that their client will not have to pay him, because the seller will. The sellers who sued to end the practice of commission splitting will finally recognize that compensating the agent who represents their buyer is a practical way to sell a home. They had hoped that buyers would now have to pay for their own professional representation, but if, as I expect, the vast majority of home sellers agree to compete with each other for the buyer’s business, which home do you think the buyer will offer to buy?
That’s how I see these coming weeks
and months shaking out. Some sellers will say, “Hey, I don’t have to offer compensation,” and a few may succeed with that strategy. But one thing is for sure: the universe of potential buyers will be smaller, because a significant percentage of buyers can’t afford to pay for representation on top of the other fees I listed in last week’s column.
I do expect that many buyers will feel they should only deal with listing agents directly, but when they see our sign rider, they may do the right thing for themselves, which is to have a professional working in their best interest instead of the seller’s. Stay tuned!
MLS Now Has Fields for Audio & Video Recording
That change took place at midnight last Thursday and many real estate professionals are concerned about how it will affect them personally. At Golden
Do You Know or Care Where Your Realtor Stands Politically?
Real estate is not the only profession where the “rule” is never to talk politics or religion. I agree about religion, but in today’s divisive political climate, I feel differently about revealing my political leanings, which are liberal. As a seller, I would not be comfortable hiring an agent who was a Trump fan. Someone else may prefer hiring a fan of Trump.
Recently, a Denver agent referred a Golden seller to me. When I told him that his home would be advertised next to my weekly real estate column, he said, “I don’t read newspapers anymore because they’re all fake news.”
Okay, we’re not a fit — and that’s okay with me.

New: Solar-Powered Green Mountain Home
$795,000
The seller of this 3-bedroom/2½-bath home at 14038 W. Amherst Ave. provided this springtime picture of their crabapple tree in bloom. Not visible from the front is the seller-owned 5.98-kW solar array which reduces the Xcel monthly electric bill to under $10 year-round. The oversized garage has an extra 5'x18' workshop/storage area with natural light. The workbench, shop light and pegboards are all included. There’s another workshop area in the unfinished basement, plus a 10'x11' wood laminate dance floor! The cul-de-sac location makes this home a quiet place to enjoy life with friendly neighbors. The 8'x25' composite deck off the eat-in kitchen is half-covered, with stairs down to the backyard with its lush grass, garden beds and linden tree. The other half of the deck is shaded by the house itself in late afternoon. The 6'x8' front porch is also covered. Visit www.JeffcoSolarHomes.com to view a narrated video walk-through and drone video, plus magazine-quality photos and floor plans. The seller replaced the windows on the first floor and most of the second floor with high-end Marvin windows. The windows are energy efficient double-paned windows with aluminum clad wood frames. The frames are powder-coated white, requiring no routine maintenance. Come to the open house Saturday, 11-1, or call broker associate Kathy Jonke at 303-990-7428 to see it. Note: Seller offers 2.5% buyer broker compensation.
With surveillance systems becoming more and more common in American homes, buyers can never be sure that what they say to each other and their agent during a showing isn’t being monitored remotely by the seller.
Personally, I advise my buyers to assume that everything they say is being heard by the seller and to monitor their conversation accordingly. There are any number of things a buyer could say while
touring a home that would disadvantage them when it comes to negotiating a contract or inspection issues.
REcolorado, Denver’s MLS, now has fields for indicating whether there is audio and/or video recording inside and/or outside the listing, but buyers should not count on privacy if those fields are not checked. I recently sold a home where the fields weren’t checked but cameras (and Alexa) were definitely present.
Just Listed: 20-Acre Apple & Peach Orchard
Our former broker associate, Kim Taylor, is now an independent broker in Cedaredge and just listed this interesting agricultural property nearby. With 4.8 shares of surface creek water, the meticulously managed fruit is thriving again this year, and there is a leased rental house that was recently remodeled. The orchard contains blocks of apples and peaches and has been a successful producer for over 20 years. The property also has a 1500 sq. ft. cooler with loading dock, a tractor barn with electric, and two 30-amp electric and water hook ups for RVs. Located in the county, this agricultural property sits literally on the edge of Cedaredge city limits, only 1/2 mile from town center. Property taxes run less than $500/year. Come take a closer look! The Cedaredge area is a great location for the outdoor enthusiasts! Just 20 minutes away is the Grand Mesa, the largest flat top mesa in the country with over 300 lakes for fishing, lots of space for camping, hiking and biking, miles of groomed Nordic ski trails, Powderhorn Ski Resort, snowshoeing, and miles of snowmobiling — not to mention that the Gunnison River is only 15 minutes south, and the greater area is Colorado wine country, with an airport just 45 minutes away! Seller also has 10 more acres with blocks of apples, peaches and grapes that would make a great addition to this property.

Seven ways to make your home safe after the Quarry Fire
BY JO DAVIS JDAVIS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
e recent Quarry Fire has some communities in Je co cleaning up damage that the re left behind.
According to Je erson County Public Health, there are some things to consider while restoring your surroundings to normal.
Colorado Community Media spoke with experts with the health department — Christine Billings, who serves as the acting deputy director and the director of epidemiology, planning and communications; and James Rada, the environmental health services director — who o ered some advice for those undergoing cleanup e orts.
Both agree that the smoke is not the only consideration. People also need to consider the re retardant used on the re and the e ects of power grid failures on a home.
Here are some more tips that Billings and Rada suggest to consider:
1. Perform a safety check
“First and foremost, perform a safety check,” Billings said. She recommended starting with the following questions:
• Is my home even safe to enter?
• Is there debris in my way?
• Can I safely access my home?
Billings added that even after the safety check is done, you still need to make a cautious entry into the home.
2. Open the windows
Billings said the next thing to do is open windows and doors to let fresh air into the home.
“Open up those windows,” Billings said. “Bring in the fresh air. ”
Billings said that emergency services should not be letting people back into their homes unless the air is safe. If it isn’t, wait until you get the air clear.
3. Replace your filters
Billings explained that the HVAC system in the home will need attention next. She said many homes have automatic systems that bring in outside air ltered through the system. If the power was on throughout the wild re event, then the system was
be used with because they generate or give o potentially dangerous fumes,” Rada explained. “So, cleaning with soap and water — mild soap and water — is the best way to go.”
Rada said to expect odors of smoke and retardant to linger even after cleaning.
“Just because of the nature of smoke and the way it permeates things, it will continue to give o gas for a period of time,” Rada explained.
He said most people right now will be dealing with smoke odors for a while.
“In our case with the Quarry Fire, I think fortunately, a lot of people were not as impacted as they could have been if that re would have gotten into the neighborhoods. But certainly they were impacted by smoke and cleaning is going to be a big job.”
6. Check the integrity of the structures in and around the home
pulling smoke through the lters.
“So, check your furnace, change out that lter, get a fresh lter on there,” Billings said. “You’ll probably want to change that lter more often than you would in a routine event.”
Prepare to change the lter again before the normal maintenance time.
While getting new lters, Billings also said to grab new smoke and carbon monoxide detectors.
Billings and Rada suggested scheduling a duct cleaning for the home as well. A duct cleaning is needed to ensure that the air in the home is free and clear.
“If that air has been moving, that means those external air quality components have been moving throughout your home, through all of the pieces and parts of that system,” Billings said.
4. Considerations while cleaning
According to Rada, the next step is cleaning the home, and it begins outside. He urged people to consider the ash and other agents on the ground after a wild re.
“Try not to be tracking stu from outside into the house once you’ve begun cleaning,” Rada said. “Oftentimes, the ground is covered with ash. Depending on what burned, the ash could contain hazardous chemicals,
and we don’t want those tracked into people’s homes.”
Rada suggests gathering rugs and carpet scraps at entryways to remove ash and debris before entering the home.
“I certainly would advise folks to put rugs or carpet shreds or something outside so they could wipe their feet o ,” Rada suggested. “Or, better yet, take their shoes o when they come into the house so they’re not tracking ash and potential chemical contaminants into the residence.”
Rada said to also wipe the feet of the pets after taking them for a walk before entering the home.
“Or have a place where you can clean them so that they’re not tracking things in the areas that have already been cleaned up,” he said.
5. Be careful cleaning up the smoke
Rada said soap, water and fresh air are the best agents for cleaning smoke damage from the home. He said stronger cleaning agents can react with re retardants and other chemicals to create a bigger hazard.
Rada said the re retardant could have entered the home through the HVAC system and other means, so this should be considered when cleaning.
“Some harsh disinfectants, certain disinfectants like bleach, should not
Billings said that cleaning in some unincorporated areas of Je co could overwhelm water systems, especially those already compromised by the wild re.
Rada explained that the groundwater and sewer structures can be compromised by power outages from the re as well.
“If they’re on a private water well, there may be a need to test the water, and also maybe a need to repair various components of the systems, because they may have been impacted by the heat,” Rada said.
7. Prepare for the next wildfire
Billings urges all Je co families to make plans for the next disaster. Billings said the best place to start is the following resources in the county:
• Wild re Commission
• Make a Family Plan
• Be Your Own Hero!
• Quarry Wild re Updates
• Resources for Returning Home
• Community Wild re Protection Plans

Experts o er tips to reduce danger of air pollution in Colorado
BY ELISABETH SLAY ESLAY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Colorado’s breathtaking scenery and high elevation o er both allure and challenges, particularly when it comes to air quality. As the state’s diverse landscapes — from urban areas to remote mountain retreats — face varying levels of pollution, understanding how to keep air quality high, or improve it, becomes crucial.
“Protecting air quality is one of Colorado’s top priorities,” said Leah Schleifer, spokesperson for the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment. “Some of the air pollution issues impacting Colorado are ground-level ozone pollution and particulate matter pollution.” e department’s Air Pollution Control Division works to inform people about the health dangers of particulate irritant and ozone pollution.
“Particulate matter is a respiratory irritant,” she said. “It can also cause cardiovascular issues due to its extremely small size. When inhaled, ne particulate matter can get deep into the lungs, and in some cases, the bloodstream.”
Schleifer said the smaller the size of the matter the more impactful it can be to someone’s health. Additionally, she explained there are symptoms of short-term exposures to unhealthy levels of ozone pollution, such as coughing and chest pain.
“Long-term exposure has been linked to a variety of poor health outcomes, including lung and cardiovascular disease,” Schleifer said. “Whether a person will experience health impacts from air pollution depends on how much is in the air and how long they breathe it in.”
Schleifer said the division has various programs to address air pollution and help protect the health and
safety of Coloradans. ese actions include the following:
• O ering nancial support for schools, businesses, and local governments to purchase clean vehicles such as electric school buses.
• Adopting a new rule that will expand access to zero-emissions cars.
• Adopting new measures to increase the availability of zero-emission trucks.
• Reducing greenhouse gas emissions from buildings. is year, the division is looking at options to propose more measures to reduce ozone pollution in the state.
“ e division created the Nitrogen Oxide Reduction Steering Committee, which is currently working on recommendations to reduce air pollution emissions from upstream oil and gas operations that form ground-level ozone,” Schleifer said.

Denver Film recognizes local Black queer creatives at CinemaQ Film Festival
BY JO DAVIS JDAVIS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Denver Film’s CinemaQ Film Festival, which took place Aug. 8-11 this year, celebrated 16 years at the Sie Film Center in Denver. CinemaQ focuses on narratives by, for and about the LGBTQ+ community.
Keith Garcia, the festival’s founder and the Sie FilmCenter’s artistic director, said the 16th anniversary was a good time to start a new section of the festival.
“We are celebrating, essentially, the creation of a new track that we have here at CinemaQ called BLQ,” Garcia said. “We are really taking the time with our partners at Black Pride Colorado and Youth Seen to amplify Black queer voices, something that’s very much needed in the world today.”
e BLQ track kicked o on day three of CinemaQ with the lms “I’m Your Venus” and “Any Other Way: e Jackie Shane Story.” Between the two lms, a panel titled BLQ Disruptors was held. e panel featured two Colorado creatives, Michael Sullivan and Assétou Xango, and the executive producer of “I’m Your Venus,” Jonovia Chase. Chase also cofounded House Lives Matter, an initiative that organizes and mobilizes to support the “house” and “ballroom” community
Sullivan, a Wheat Ridge resident, is a fashion designer, tailor, artist and cofounder of HAUS Clothing. Xango is a poet, artist and founder of Dark Goddess Collective. ey were the poet laureate of
Aurora from 2017 to 2019. Both Xango and Sullivan spoke about the importance of creating spaces for Black and Brown creatives in Colorado.
“We’re grateful for the Big Chili and its ongoing support.”
Its support is signi cant. In 2023, the event raised a record $70,000, contributing $10,000 each to the Evergreen, Elk Creek, Inter-Canyon, North Fork, Foothills, Indian Hills and Platte Canyon re districts, said event coordinator Lora Knowlton.
e Big Chili Cook-o started in the wake of 9/11 to support rst responders. Colorado’s 2002 Hayman re only added to locals’ incentive to give back to those on the front line.
“Fire ghters were in the media a lot, and a small group of community folks said we need to do something to help these guys,” Knowlton said. “When the event started, volunteer re ghters had to buy their own gear and it was extremely expensive. Today, the dynamics between paid and volunteer re ghters has changed in each department. So we issue the funds to use however they see t. Oftentimes they’ll put it toward the cost of some equipment they need. “
e event typically draws between 2,000 and 3,000 people — rain or shine. In 2022, organizers feared the worst when they woke to drizzle and temperatures in the mid-40s. e crowds turned out anyway, bundled in winter coats, hats, and gloves. “ at proved to us that no matter what
the weather does, we really don’t need to worry,” Knowlton said, adding it’s not just the chili that draws attendees, but the cause. “I think re ghters are often out of sight, out of mind until you need them. And when you need them, you love them.”
Despite its popularity, Knowlton said the event has its challenges, including a dearth of volunteers.
“Our expenses have increased, and our biggest challenge is we are short volunteers,” she said. “Please consider donating funds. But more importantly, come out, have some fun, be part of the event and volunteer.”
e event runs from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sept. 7. For tickets or to volunteer, visit bigchili.org.

BLQ would provide a space to explore topics vital to the Black queer community through lm. According to Xango, such a space is critical today.
Sullivan said creating the BLQ Disruptors panel was his way of making such a space.
“I really just wanted this space (the panel and BLQ track) for all of us to share those experiences, but also share it with everyone who’s coming,” Sullivan explained. He added that sharing would bring everyone together. “Especially as Black people, and Black being Black and queer, we only move forward together. ere’s no other way. So, that was the reason why I started the panel.” Xango described how the Dark Goddess Collective continues that work.
“So I think the spaces where we can dance, the spaces where we can play, are super necessary,” Xango said. “But there also needs to be spaces where we can have these types of conversations and dig in and have con ict and know how to move through that con ict and be committed to the same vision. at is what’s required.”
Xango said they practice this in their poetry performances and through the works of their organization Dark Goddess Collective.
“So Dark Goddess Collective is a space speci cally for Black femme creatives, and this is a space that I wanted

“We were lucky it started in an open space park; that bought us a little time,” said North Fork Fire Chief Curt Rogers. “ is re had big potential to spread quickly. We knew we had a battle on our hands. We were seeing crown runs through the forest at 2 a.m. at’s extreme re behavior.”
A crown run occurs when a re travels through treetops. It spreads rapidly, burns very hot and is the most dangerous type of wild re, according to the Western Fire Chiefs Association.
“It was probably one of the worst spots we could have a re start, at least within Inter-Canyon’s district,” Shirlaw said. “ e fuels, the topography — this spot was my nightmare. But it had the best outcome we could ever hope for — no houses lost, no injuries.”
to create,” Xango explained.
ey talked about a partnership with Melanin Mountain Project, founded by Chloe Nicole Bowman in Crested Butte.
“(Bowman) really wanted to bring melanin to the mountains, and so we collaborate with them every Juneteenth to do a couple of shows,” Xango said.
Juneteenth is celebrated annually to commemorate the ending of slavery in the United States.
Sullivan explained that HAUS stands for Honoring Art, Unifying Souls.
According to Sullivan, HAUS was the rst Black queer-owned design house in Colorado and the U.S. He and his co-founders created HAUS because they wanted a space and could not nd it for people like himself. Sullivan said that HAUS has become more than just fashion.
“HAUS has been a reclamation of not only Blackness, but queerness, as dened by myself and the team,” Sullivan explained. “My entire team is a mixture of Black, queer and nonqueer creativeness. It’s Black and Brown, and we also have those who are not people of color, but they see the vision. ey want to be part of it.”
Colorado is a predominantly White space, and those communities, according to both Xango and Sullivan, can approach these new Black and Brown queer creative spaces.
Xango said the rst step is to shift to a “student” mindset before entering spaces like the BLQ events at CinemaQ.
ough hot, dry conditions are returning, Inter-Canyon Fire spokesperson Bethany Urban said it’s unlikely the re will are up and spread.
“We don’t call something contained unless we have a high level of condence re is not going beyond those containment lines,” she said. “Will people still see smoke and maybe even a lick of ame once in a while? Possibly; there still may be heavier fuels burning on the interior. Is it going to reignite and burn outside of containment lines? Incredibly unlikely.”
Fire ghters continue to keep a close watch on the area.
“We still patrol it, hiking or driving through, looking for periodic or interior smoke,” Shirlaw said. “We’ll be monitoring it for several weeks. Snow will be the season-ending event that gives us comfort that we’re in a good
place.”
Inter-Canyon was the rst agency to respond to the 579-acre Quarry Fire, which started in its district boundaries at about 9 p.m. July 30. ey were quickly joined at the site near Deer Creek Canyon Road and Grizzly Drive by crews from Elk Creek and West Metro Fire.
An estimated 260 re ghters and other personnel, and multiple local and state agencies eventually joined in ghting the 8-day re. e ground e ort drew re ghters and equipment from as far away as Durango, and in the sky, air tankers fromacross the country dropped re retardant and water on the ames.
Nearly 600 area homes were evacuated.
e Je erson County Sheri ’s O ce is still investigating the re’s cause.
“Be a student. Really go in with a listening ear, because it matters who enters those spaces,” Xango said.
According to Xango, the Black and Brown creatives have cultivated the space to be safe, and guests, including allies, must respect that safety component.
“I think what we need is to maintain the integrity of who’s walking into that space and with what intention,” Xango explained. “So if the intention is, ‘oh, I want to be cool’ and ‘I want to go see where all the Black folks hang out.’
With that intention, I say, ‘no, thank you.’ If the intention is to really come to understand and to see how you can be a part of the movement, then absolutely, come on in.”
Xango added that guests to the Black and Brown queer creative spaces also need to be prepared for an uncomfortable experience.
“You have to come in being willing to just listen and to maybe be uncomfortable,” Xango said. “Because, again, these are spaces that we’re creating that are safe spaces. And what that inherently means is that we’re allowed to share our experiences uncensored.”
Xango said guests can get and should receive the sharing without confrontation.
Garcia said BLQ is now a permanent track within CinemaQ and Denver Film.
Sullivan will take the HAUS team from Wheat Ridge and the Denver area to New York Fashion Week in September. For more information on his work, go to hausclothing.org.Find more information on BLQ, CinemaQ and Denver Film at denver lm.org.

Understanding the di erent levels of hoarding disorder can help those who su er

For those who struggle with hoarding disorder, there tends to be a sense of shame and embarrassment. at’s partly because society and mainstream media have stigmatized the complex mental condition.
Dr. Trisha Hudson Matthews, chair of the Department of Human Services and Counseling at Metropolitan State University of Denver, said people shouldn’t have to feel ashamed if they have the disorder. She said they shouldn’t internalize what others say about them. She says hoarding is a community health issue.
“ e rst thing that tends to pop up for most people is when we see hoarding, on any level, is that, ‘ ey’re just lazy,’” said Matthews. “Once you start applying that to people and saying that, ‘You’re lazy,’ then they start to self-blame.”
Multiple studies indicate that hoarding disorder is on the rise in
the United States. It is estimated that 2%-6% of the population suffers from the disorder, according to the International OCD Foundation, and symptoms often appear about three times more in adults aged 55 and older.
As a society, the terms “hoarding” and “OCD” are used freely and many don’t fully understand the impact behind them, said Matthews.
What is hoarding disorder?
Although similar, hoarding disorder is di erent from collecting. Collectors gravitate towards collecting possessions in an intentional and organized manner.
Hoarding disorder however is a mental health disorder in which people have di culty discarding or parting with possessions that are no longer useful to them or have value, according to the American Psychiatric Association.
“It’s the inability to give up anything because everything carries signi cant meaning,” said Matthews. e disorder also has similarities to obsessive compulsive disorder — which is a diagnosis that’s been around longer. Severe hoarding disorder was only added to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders in 2013.

STIGMA
Hoarding disorder can cause a home to become cluttered. In more extreme cases, it often interferes with daily tasks and can increase safety hazards. Having worked with clients with the disorder, Matthews says there is a wide spectrum.
She says the disorder can result in severe e ects on mental and physical health, social life, nances and, when left untreated for a long time, it can lead to legal issues such as a house being condemned.
While the causes of hoarding disorder are unknown, about 75% of people with hoarding disorder have co-occurring mental health conditions like anxiety disorders, major depressive disorder, and OCD, according to the International OCD Foundation.
It often stems from trauma, said Matthews. It can come from childhood trauma or commonly after losing someone signi cant in their life. “It really depends on how we cope
with the external things that happen in life,” said Matthews. “Typically when you’re hoarding, for whatever reason, they cannot release it and they won’t come for help because of the shame and embarrassment.”
The impact from society and media
When seeing someone with hoarding disorder, many may think they’re lazy, dirty and ask why they can’t just clean up their house.
But people with the disorder are often su ering, said Matthews. ey are people who have lost connection with their family. Neighbors won’t talk to them. ere’s physical health issues.
“We desensitize ourselves by putting it on TV for entertainment versus actually helping them,” said Matthews. “ ey start shutting down from the outside world because people start judging them. It becomes hard to step out of those stigmas that would actually help reverse the issue.”
Reality shows that focus on hoarding may perpetuate a stigma that the disorder disappears simply by cleaning up a house when in fact, the situ-
ation is far more complex.
Matt and Krista Gregg, owners of Bio-One of Colorado, a hoarding cleaning service in the south metro, agree that TV shows may not accurately portray hoarding disorder.
“When you see it on TV, it’s the most extreme scenarios,” said Krista. “ at’s the only real exposure people have had and there’s a lot of shame that’s portrayed. ere’s a lot of sadness that’s portrayed.”
By talking about the di erent levels of hoarding, the Greggs hope to eliminate the shame associated with the disorder.
“ ere are xes that can be done,” said Krista. “ ere are people out there to help.”
Ways to help
With busy work schedules and families to take care of, it’s easy for any home to become cluttered. However, there comes a point when all the stu can have physical and mental e ects on the residents. BioOne of Colorado is just one of many companies that give strategies to help with decluttering and cleaning.
Detailed on the Institute for Chal-
lenging Disorganization, there are ve levels of hoarding.
A home is considered a level one when there are items not being put away for some time, like things piling up in the kitchen or laundry spread across the house, but there is no concern for safety.
When the home starts to become overwhelming for the resident, that’s considered level two, while level three shows extreme disorganization and is considered the turning point between manageable disorganization and a more serious issue like key living areas being blocked.
A home becomes a level four when multiple rooms are cluttered to the point they are not being used for its intended purposes. Level ve is when the living space becomes unusable due to structural damage, sanitation and risk for health issues.
As hoarding disorder is a complex mental health issue, there is healing involved, Matthews said, adding it’s talking about what holding onto that item means to you and what would you be giving up if you let go. erapy is a useful tool to help distinguish between hoarding and being messy.
Professional artists emphasize joy, creative process at Golden Fine
Arts Fest
BY CORINNE WESTEMAN CWESTEMAN@COLOROADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Art is for everyone, but the artist’s life is not.
Whether it’s packing up hundreds of pieces and driving across the country to attend art shows every weekend, or quitting a full-time job to make a living o the creations they spent hours perfecting, an artist’s life has unique challenges not everyone is equipped to handle.
Still, Golden Fine Arts Festival participants said all the ups and downs are worth it because they love their craft and the community of fellow artists and art enthusiasts they’ve met along the way.
On Aug. 10-11, the Golden Chamber of Commerce hosted the 34th annual festival along 11th Street. Last year’s event drew approximately 9,000 attendees, according to city crowdcollection data, and organizers were expecting similar numbers this year.
Around 100 artists participated, showcasing their jewelry, paintings, photographs, sculptures, bers and more. About 55 artists were Colorado-based, including several from the

studio spaces, so they can separate their work from their home life.
To anyone who’s considering becoming a professional artist, he said, “Just do it. Go for it. Don’t wait.”
Trial & error
Farther down 11th Street, Arvada painter Jessica Mahan’s booth featured dozens of acrylic and oil paintings, with Mahan describing how she loves depicting natural scenes like owers, lily pads and aspen trees. She said she particularly loves painting patterns and “pushing color to its limit without doing too much.”
Denver metro area like kinetic sculpture artist Ryan Kvande.
The Thornton resident recalled quitting his job to become a professional artist.
He said he started about a decade ago when he was trying to ll an empty wall in his new house. He came up with a design and made it out of cardboard, which he said wasn’t ideal. He later tried it with wood, which worked much better. He then spent two years
learning everything he could about how to make wooden sculptures, and now he’s adding kinetic acrylic sculptures to his repertoire.
Kvande said he enjoys working for himself and on his own time. He doesn’t have to commute to an o ce every day or ll out a timecard.
However, he continued, the artist’s life isn’t for everyone. It requires a lot of work and travel, and he acknowledged that some artists prefer having
Don’t go it alone.
Mahan, who’s been an artist for almost 20 years, recalled how she was always sketching when she was in school but was afraid to add color. When she was in college, she learned how to add color to her works, particularly what colors to put next to each other to help the paintings pop. While she previously taught art in public schools, Mahan now teaches part-time for art centers in Evergreen and Arvada. She loves being able to share what she’s learned over the years, she described.
“I want people to have joy when they’re painting at home,” she said. Denver’s William Mantor, a ceramics artist for 14 years, said he dabbled in other media and art forms, but “ceramics just stuck.”

VOICES
Get to know the Democrat presidential candidates
Democrats in Je erson County and across the country are excited and energized by our new presidential candidates. We know that Kamala Harris and Tim Walz will take this country forward to the future we all want to see. Maybe these names are new to you. Let’s get to know them a little.
As the daughter of parents who brought her to civil rights marches in a stroller, Kamala Harris was inspired to tackle injustice from an early age. She took that mission to county courtrooms, the California Attorney General’s o ce, the United States Senate and the White House. Now she is running for President of the United States to continue protecting our freedoms, delivering justice,and expanding opportunity so that every American cannot just get by, but get ahead.
FROM THE LEFT
As vice president, she’s been a trusted partner to President Joe Biden in their work to take on the powerful and make change for the people — from standing up against extremists to defending reproductive freedom to taking on Big Pharma to bring down prescription drug costs and cap the price of insulin at $35 a month for our seniors.
e Biden-Harris administration has achieved a historic record of accomplishment, including: bringing our economy back from the brink of disaster to create nearly 16 million new jobs; investing over $1 trillion in infrastructure projects like repairing roads and bridges, removing every lead pipe in America, improving public transit, and expanding access to high-speed internet; strengthening the A ordable Care Act and lowering health insurance premiums to save millions of Americans an average of $800 per year; expanding health care for veterans exposed to toxins; enacting the rst meaningful gun safety reform in decades and

bringing violent crime down to a near 50-year low; passing the largest-ever investment in tackling the climate crisis; and appointing the rst Black woman to the United States Supreme Court.
Vice President Harris has proudly represented the United States on the global stage in meetings with over 150 world leaders and bolstered vital alliances against tyranny abroad — and she is just as committed to stopping would-be authoritarians and dictators at home. She is leading the charge to protect fundamental freedoms, including the right to an abortion and the right to vote.
Minnesota Gov. Walz is a champion for America’s working families. He enlisted in the Army National Guard when he turned 17 and served for 24 years, rising to the rank of Command Sergeant Major. After attending college thanks to the GI Bill, Tim Walz served his community as a high school teacher and football coach – taking his team to the state championship for the rst time in the school’s history. He became a member of Congress in a Republican district by representing the needs of farmers and rural America. As governor, Tim Walz cut taxes for working families, lowered the cost of insulin and eliminated junk fees, and protected women’s right to choose.
As the election draws closer, we encourage Je co voters to go to the Je co Dems website www.JeffCoDems.org for up to date information on candidates and ballot measures.
Kathryn Wallace is the Chair of the Je erson County Democratic Party.
Splashed across every newspaper headline, highlighted on every TV and radio report and covered on every internet and social media site are the “problems” of the day. Remember the old adage, “if it bleeds, it leads?”
So, let’s take a minute to ask ourselves, what’s the problem? Is it the Democrats’ policy of open borders or an absurd energy policy based on the unscienti c “green” agenda? Maybe its antisemitism and supporting a proxy war with Russia through Ukraine? Perhaps it’s Democrat control of the Governorship and Colorado’s state legislature that has led to ine ective action to reduce our una ordable Property Taxes? Why do the Democrat Je co Commissioners want to take away our TABOR refunds? e list seems endless and there can be no argument, these are some big problems!
But here’s the real “biggie” – runaway government spending! In blue states like Colorado, at every level of government, there is an insatiable appetite to get and spend more tax money!
Why does government demand so much money? Do elected o cials care that citizens are struggling to make ends meet? Are they indi erent to the huge number of small business closures?
e answer is simple, government is doing way more than it should. In simplest terms, the role of government is to provide services that cannot be privatized because the scale of providing those services is impractical. Would it be realistic to support the military or highway systems without public oversight? Not really. Could public safety be maintained? Look at the amazing job the brave re ghters did this month to contain multiple wild res. ank these sel ess individuals when you meet them!
Consider giving freebies to illegal immigrants in sanctuary cities like Denver. Did we direct our government to provide free housing, cash on debit cards, and cell phones? We don’t even do that for our struggling veterans! How about a destructive welfare system that has created generational dependence on

free money? Remember President Clinton’s “workfare” program? It was a terri c idea to reward working. So, the problem is that the government is sucking up too much money!
e Federal government overspends by a trillion dollars every 100 days. is is the primary reason for ination. No Mr. Biden, it’s not “greedy corporations” – it’s greedy government! At the state level, Democrats have changed the name of taxes to “fees” to get around constitutional spending limits. e state Balanced Budget requirement and the TABOR (Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights) Amendment protect us from even higher taxes at all levels. Wait a minute, what about Je co? Well, in a clear con ict of interest, the three Democrat commissioners have hired a political consultant to try to convince us to give up our TABOR refunds so they can spend more tax money. So far, they have spent more than $300,000 of our tax money to construct a ballot measure, probably with really confusing language, to pretend that “with no increase in taxes” they will do something good with our money. Unfortunately, a politician’s promise of better “anything” for more money rarely comes true.
We need a sea change in Je co, Colorado and nationally. Elected o cials need to perform their job of protecting and assisting us, not controlling us through bigger government and social engineering. On Nov. 5, 2024 let’s select candidates who will reduce government spending!
Don Ytterberg is a former four-time chair of the Je co Republicans and former two-time Vice Chair of the Colorado Republican Party. He has been a candidate for the Colorado Senate and the U.S. House. He and his wife Kim have been residents of Je erson County since 1987 where he has been a business owner since 1990.
Wildlife Olympics: There’s no contest!
The Olympic Games present a thrilling glimpse into the world of extremes.
Athletes have varying heights, musculatures, skin colors and genders. At any Olympic event, there may be many languages spoken and a variety of cultural norms observed. Despite these seemingly wide disparities, only one species is present: homo sapiens.
In the world of wildlife, such a test of superiority would be a much more intriguing albeit complex event. How does one compare the winged vs the scaled, the furry vs the shelled, the hoofed vs the pawed?
Perhaps judging the Wildlife Olympics is less about choosing which creature should earn the highest honor of gold, silver or bronze but rather a recognition of the ways in which our non-human animal cousins have blossomed into spectacular and unique adaptations and skills which outshine our own. Yet, there are some clear gold medal winners. You may be surprised by who has earned the respect and praise of scientists who are the true judges of the Wildlife Olympics.
What would be the measure of an Olympic category for eyesight? e eye of a mantis shrimp, a crustacean the size of your pinkie nger, has 16 photoreceptors compared to a paltry 3 photoreceptors for humans.
INSIDE THE OUTDOORS
Researchers believe that the quantity of photoreceptors of the mantis shrimp’s eyes may allow visual information to be preprocessed by the eyes instead of the brain. Scientists have already awarded the mantis shrimp the gold medal for the most complex eyes of any species in the animal kingdom. e mantis shrimp is lauded for a second characteristic. Appendages which are folder under the animal’s carapace (giving the shrimp an appearance similar to the mantis insect) can smash prey with the power of a .22 caliber bullet. To compete with the shrimp, a human would have to punch through steel (and walk away with an intact hand).
Elephants may be the gold medalist, but the silver goes to our neighbor, the black bear. eir sensitive noses can follow a scent for miles. Bears can smell your burger on the grill from the next town over.
Bears are about to enter “hyperphagia” which means packing on 20,000 calories per day. e usually shy creatures become bold during this time.

THE POWER OF MUSIC
Arvada nonprofit aims to create bridges through collaboration, exploration and fun for kids in the metro area
BY JANE REUTER JREUTER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Studies on music’s bene ts repeatedly show its positive impact to mental and physical health. Research also shows it can build bridges.
Children who participate in group music activities exhibit more cooperation than kids who don’t, according to the journal “Evolution and Human Behavior.” Furthermore, researchers found children who regularly play music, sing and dance together can more easily empathize with others.
at’s something today’s world needs more of, believes ornton resident Dustin Olde, and that he hopes his music school can foster. A lifelong musician, Olde runs Colorado AMP (After-school Music Program), a low-cost, nonpro t kids’ music school in Arvada. e three-year-old business draws students from the heart of Denver and throughout the suburbs. “Kids can take music lessons online anytime,” he said. “ e whole point is we want them in-person, working together. We’re trying to get people to get along. at’s where we as a society are struggling. How can we all get along and understand each other? e music is just the gateway, the language by which they communicate.”
His students’ words suggest Olde is having an impact.
“When I thought of music before, I really thought more about, this note is A or B,” said Westminster’s Cullan Wright, 13, who’d played French horn in his school band before enrolling at Colorado AMP. “Now I understand it’s more about chords, how di erent things meld together.
“Before when I was playing, I was only thinking about my part,” he continued. “I would use someone else as a cue to come in. But for the most part, I wasn’t listening to other kids.”
Olde also discovered the power of music while playing with his peers. As a teen at Littleton High School,
he experienced bene ts that went far beyond music’s immediate psychological rewards.
“At 15, I formed a band with some friends; that was a huge piece of what got me through high school,” Olde said. “ ose were my best friends, and the band was a fundamental part of my self-esteem. It gave me the con dence I needed to get through high school.”
ose bonds went so deep that 35 years later, Olde is still playing with one of his high school bandmates in the group Trouble Bound. e band recently played at Evergreen’s Aug. 3 Mountain Music Fest.
Olde was a college music major and early in his career, worked with at-risk kids as an AmeriCorps teacher. at experience sparked his interest in a music school open to children from families of all income levels.
“We were teaching anger and con ict management skills to kids,” said Olde, a father of two. “I learned that the time when kids get in the most trouble is between when school ends and when Mom and Dad get home from work. at’s the time I want kids to be doing something positive.”
Colorado AMP is designed for children ages 10 to 15 who love music. Skill level or family income is
not a factor. e school o ers sliding scale fees and full scholarships. Drawing kids from di erent backgrounds is key to ful lling Olde’s mission.
“My vision has always been that we’d have a kid from Sterling who likes country and one from Aurora who likes hip hop,” he said. “In real life, the two would never meet. But here, they hear one another’s music and play together. You start to understand somebody else’s perspective.
“It’s not hugely di erent from School of Rock,” he continued. “But our goal is to get to those kids who can’t a ord School of Rock.”
While Colorado AMP was intended to be primarily an after-school program and o ers individual lessons, specialty workshops and after-school programs, its summer music camps generate the highest turnout.
During the camps, kids practice in small groups for two weeks and then do a live performance. Students can choose to play guitar, bass guitar, drums, keyboards or sing. Olde typically contracts with teachers to instruct the summer programs.

MUSIC
Westminster parent Kerstin Wright’s two sons have gone to Colorado AMP’s summer camp for two years running.
“I was a little skeptical when we went the rst time that by the end of two weeks we’d be attending a concert with them playing these instruments,” she said. “My kids had never had any experience with playing a bass guitar, an electric guitar or drum set. I was astonished. It was such a huge fun surprise to see them up on stage that rst time.”
Not only did her sons learn to play the instruments, they created a band name and logo, and produced a promotional video.
“ ey just had some very cool and di erent experiences they’d never had anywhere else,” Wright said. “ ey met some new kids, and some really awesome adults who have a passion for music and kids. at was also a win.”
Cullan Wright said it’s changed the way he listens to music.
“Whenever I’m listening to a song now, I can hear the piano part or the bass part,” he said. “I really do appreciate how much time they have to put into everything.”
Eleven-year-old Cooper Wright also saw his musical world expand after the summer camps.
“It’s opened up some more music genres,” he said. “(Before) it was kinda like whatever is on for me. I knew about bands like Nirvana and Green Day. But once we played a Nirvana song, I really got into it. Now I think I listen for more genres than just whatever.”
Cooper played both drums and guitar during his two Colorado AMP summer camps.
“ ey’re really good at simplifying things to make it kid-friendly,” he said. “I like the other kids there, and just getting to play and learn new instruments is pretty fun.”
It’s been fun for their mother, too, who said she now hears them talking in the car in great detail about a song playing on the stereo.
“So much of what kids do nowadays is screenbased; I feel like they don’t get a lot of opportunity to get creative,” she said. “For me, it’s important to create those opportunities that are meaningful and interesting to them.”
Broom eld’s Linda Maurney and her son and daughter had a similar experience. Son Davis, 11, has done the summer music camp for three years. Davis already owned a guitar but before Colorado AMP, he said he barely touched it.
“Now I’ve learned new things and it’s more fun to play guitar,” he said. “It really helped me practice.”
Davis said his favorite moment at each camp is the nal performance.
“It’s fun to play on a stage,” he said. “You come together as a band, and it’s fun to see how you sound.”
Linda Maurney said she’s watched her children’s musical con dence grow with each camp experience.
“My son’s talking about starting his own band,” she

said. “He brought two of his friends to camp, and now they do it together. ey’re engaged with other kids, for a common purpose. ey’re listening to and reading music, trying to gure it out. You can almost see that their brains are more activated.”
So far this summer, about 60 students have participated in Colorado AMP’s summer camps. While this basic formula’s been a winner, Olde is experimenting with alternative ideas, too. Earlier this year, the school hosted a Taylor Swift workshop, a four-Saturday program in which students learned and performed three Swift hits.
As the program has evolved, so too have its participants.
“ is year I had a student who was missing a hand,” Olde said. “In that same camp, I had a kid with a speech disability. We’ve had kids with autism. …I think a lot of kids on the spectrum gravitate toward music. ey can nd their voice through it. So that’s been cool.”
For Olde, the best moment of any program comes at the end — when students take everything they’ve learned and showcase it to friends and family.
“ at last day of camp when they do their performance is my favorite,” he said. “We try to have as polished a performance as we can. at sometimes means we as teachers are in there playing with them. We want them to think, ‘Whoa, this sounds really good.’ ey feel so proud of themselves. Everything’s worth it for that day.”

ARTISTS
He added that he liked how tactile it is as an artform, saying that he hand-throws all his pieces. Mantor, who’s part of the Arvada Ceramics Art Guild, said makes mostly functional pieces — cups, jars, plates and vases. While some artists prefer to showcase their pieces in galleries, Mantor said he prefers to participate in art shows. He enjoys traveling and meeting other artists, explaining how everyone in the community looks out. ey give each other advice about other shows, destinations, audiences and so on.
Ultimately, Mantor said, showcasing at art shows is like making the art itself: “ ere’s a lot of trial and error.” Depending on the region and/or
show, audiences may prefer one type of media over another, or one style of ceramics over another, he said.
“It’s interesting to see how di erent styles are popular in di erent places,” Mantor continued.
‘What it can add to your life’
Mahan encouraged anyone, regardless of whether they’re an artist, to “practice creativity every day.” She hoped people would nd an outlet to help them through their frustrations, joys, lulls and highlights, whether that was writing, movement or something else.
“I’ve learned so much about myself through the creation of my work,” Mahan continued. “When I’m painting a piece, I see how it can apply to my life. … Art is important for everyone to participate in … because you don’t know what it can add to your life until you practice (it).”
And for those who are artists, Mahan and Mantor encouraged them to keep going.
“People often get discouraged and burnt out,” Mantor said. “You should try di erent things. ere’s something for everybody, but you have to keep at it.”
Mantor said something that bene ted him was rst working for other professional artists, whether individuals and/or studios. He explained how it was a great way to practice his art while also learning about how to run a business.
Still, whether people are creative as a hobby or as a career, Kvande said they shouldn’t forget that artistic spark that rst inspired them.
“Sometimes you have (a piece) in your mind, and you just want to see it,” he said of his creative process. “I want to see what’s in my mind and show it to other people.”
This exhibition is a joint venture between and produced by the Royal British Columbia Museum in Victoria, Canada and MuseumsPartner in Austria.

Keeping trash, bird feeders and other attractants out of sight and securely locked is imperative.
In Colorado, bears are under a “twostrike” policy-the rst infringement will earn a bear an ear tag and relocation. A tagged bear breaking into a home may be killed by wildlife o cers due to the risk to human safety. A tragedy that is completely avoidable, killing of habituated bears is the worst outcome for the o cers, homeowners, and bears. If wildlife put their heads together
(the ones that have heads), they might award the Gold to the humble tardigrade, the most magni cent animal you didn’t know exists. Also called water bears, the tiny creature, 0.059 inches, survives conditions that make the rest of us whine (or die).
Exposure to extreme temperatures, radiation, starvation, dehydration, and astoundingly high and low pressures does not stop this diminutive microfauna in its quest to outcompete every other species. Related to nematodes, tardigrades can suspend their metabolism and live without food and water for more than 30 years. e animals can later rehydrate and continue with the business of living.
Bonus — at least 17 species of tardigrades live in Colorado! Found in lichen and moss, these animals can be seen under a microscope! You could have little moss pigs living right outside your door. Congratulations to our medalists and a huge round of respect and awe for the countless and priceless beings whose superpowers have yet to be discovered.

Additionally, there are other sources of information. For example, the Sheridan Library — which is a branch of Arapahoe Libraries — is now offering air quality monitors known as AirBeam3, which are palm-sized, portable air quality monitors. Patrons can check them out at 3425 W. Oxford Ave.
“Participants can collect air quality data, review ndings and contribute to a crowd-sourced air quality map of the Sheridan community,” said Cameron Bowen, Arapahoe Libraries fa-
cilities coordinator. “ ey can also learn how to improve the air quality in their home. For example, they can use an exhaust fan while cooking or learn how to get home weatherization assistance.”
Schleifer said in addition to monitoring the air, people can reduce their contributions to air pollution as well through many di erent ways. ose methods include “biking, carpooling, or using clean energy sources and electric equipment rather than gas-powered when possible.”
“Our ozone pollution and your health website and the Simple Steps Better Air website provide more details on ways you can take action,” Schleifer said.

BY JOHN RENFROW JRENFROW@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
ree years removed from his spinal cord cancer diagnosis, Garrett Rymer’s prognosis is looking good; so good he added another mile to his return to this year’s Swim Across America event at the Chat eld Reservoir near Littleton. e Aug. 17 event marked the seventh annual open water swim for the nonpro t, which raises cancer research funds for Children’s Hospital Colorado. Many of the participating swimmers are cancer survivors or swimming for a loved one impacted by cancer.
It brought survivors together in a fun, everyday way, which is important because cancer can be terribly isolating, Rymer said.
“Pretty quickly, you start to see a lot of your peers, even your friends, start to distance themselves from you,” Rymer said. “Not because they are upset with you or dislike you in any way, they’re just not really sure how to respond to that … the amount of healing that really takes place when you get two survivors in the same room, even if they never say a word about cancer, is just unparalleled. It’s really encouraging to see cancer survivors getting into this event and using their stories for Swim Across America.”
Rymer, age 17 from Cherry Creek, learned about his cancer in 2021 after a bicycle crash that broke his right arm. After having surgery to remove roughly half of a tumor from his spinal cord in 2022, plus a clinical trial for a chemotherapy treatment that involved a new, twice-daily pill, the tumor remains at bay. It’s even shrunk a bit. His arm remained weak long after the break healed. At last year’s Swim Across America event, Rymer swam the one-mile option but said his arm was probably in the “valley of lowest
function” at that time.
“Now, I have gained a lot of function in my right arm, speci cally in my elbow,” Rymer said. “I used to really not even be able to get that exed bicep movement at all. If I could, it was very weak and I couldn’t do it with any weight.”
But because of nerve graft procedures done by the Mayo Clinic in 2023, the movement has come back strong. He can lift around ve pounds with his right arm, which he describes as “really incredible.” It helps with a breaststroke, which he’s found really e ective. is year, he tackled the two-mile swim at the event with his father and girlfriend, who is also a pediatric cancer survivor.
Sarah omas also joined the festivities this year. A well-known ultramarathon swimmer and world record holder, omas has conquered the English Channel, Lake Champlain, the North Channel, Lake Tahoe and Lake Mead. She lives near Denver and is a breast cancer survivor. She’s been an ambassador for Swim Across America since the organization’s rst Denverarea event in 2018.
At 41, omas is the rst person to complete a four-way crossing of the English Channel, with a time of 54 hours and 10 minutes. Recently, she became the rst person in history to complete a two-way crossing of the North Channel between Ireland and Scotland in 21 hours and 46 minutes.
In 2023, omas also became the rst person to successfully swim the entire length of Lake Mead (47.5 miles). She raised $10,000 for cancer research through that event.
“I was diagnosed with stage two breast cancer in 2017 at the age of 35,” omas said. “It was a terrifying time and we didn’t know how much my treatments would impact my ability to swim in the future. Being able to partner with Swim Across America combines two of my passions: open water swimming and doing everything I can to ght cancer so that others won’t have to go through what I went through.”
Sarah Thomas carves through the water during one of her many ultra-marathon swims. Thomas, who lives near Denver, is a world record holder and has been an ambassador for Swim Across America since 2018.

According to a press release, the Littleton event has raised $1 million to date and supports three research projects at the Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders at Children’s Hospital Colorado.
“It’s so special to see survivors getting together and using their stories to help other survivors or potential ghters,” Rymer said.
Rymer would be a senior at Cherry Creek High School this year, but instead of online classes at the school, he’s lling his time with an EMT course at Arapahoe Community College. He’s also joined a search and rescue team this summer, which he said has become a huge part of his life.
He credited organizations like Swim Across America for giving him the condence to pursue his dreams despite his often-daunting reality. Plus, the money
events like these raise save lives, including his.
“What Swim Across America is doing to fund clinical trials is bringing physical healing and basically cures to cancer ghters in a very practical way,” Rymer said. “Beyond that, it brings a lot of optimism to not only survivors or families of survivors, but it really just brings a lot of visibility to cancer bringing all these people together like this. ere are a lot of questions and misconceptions about cancer that Swim Across America has helped to clear up. Bringing that visibility to what ghting cancer looks like just helps to bring some purpose to a lot of what these survivors have gone through.”

“We are really proud of this work,” said Nicole Vanderpoel, co-event director for Swim Across America-Denver. “And the fact that money raised locally stays local with our support of Children’s Hospital Colorado.”
Nonprofit organization Swim Across America held its 7th Annual Denver Open Water Swim on Aug. 17 at Chatfield Reservoir near Littleton. Participants will swim to raise money for cancer research.

Amount Claimed: 1.743 c.f.s., conditional. 3.4. Appropriation Date: December 31, 2016. 3.5. Use of exchanged water: As described in the decree issued in Case No. 16CW3186, the use of the exchanged water will be for direct flow and storage for all beneficial uses of the municipal water system of Westminster, as it currently exists or exists in the future, including, but not limited to, municipal, domestic, irrigation, commercial, industrial, recreation (but not for instream flow purposes), fish and wildlife, augmentation, replacement, exchange and storage for these purposes, and may be used, reused, and successively used to extinction for all beneficial purposes identified herein, either by direct release or storage for later release, as well as the right to totally consume the water either by first use, successive use, or reuse to extinction, subject to the terms and conditions of the decree in Case No. 16CW3186. Westminster may also store the exchanged water in storage structures that can be filled from the ditches identified in paragraph 3.1, above, including, but not limited to Standley Lake, Jim Baker Reservoir, and the West Gravel Lakes. 3.6. Source of water diverted by exchange: Clear Creek and Ralston Creek. 4. Detailed outline of what has been done toward completion of the appropriation and application to a beneficial use: 4.1. Prior to and during the diligence period, Westminster leased its interests in the Brighton Ditch changed in Case No. 16CW3186 to Aggregate Industries (“AI”), who beneficially used the water on a temporary basis related to its gravel operations. During the term of the lease to AI, the City arranged a license agreement with the City of Aurora (“Aurora”) which allowed AI’s use of certain Aurora owned Brighton Ditch augmentation structures. The term of Westminster’s lease with AI expired during the diligence period and Westminster is now working to incorporate the Brighton Ditch interests into its municipal water supply system. One component of said system is Wattenberg Lake which will be located adjacent to the Brighton Ditch near Wattenberg, Colorado, and will be a place of storage of Westminster’s Brighton Ditch interests. 4.2. Wattenberg Lake remains under construction, and is not yet entirely completed and operational. Wattenberg Lake will be lined gravel lake storage located on lands owned by Westminster. The owner of the mineral interests associated with said lands is Aggregate Industries (“AI”). Pursuant to a Storage Facility Agreement, AI is conducting gravel mining activities on the property and will ultimately deliver lined gravel lake storage to Westminster upon completion of its mining activities. AI’s mining activities on the property are ongoing. During the diligence period, however, Westminster took delivery of the first phase of lined storage associated with Wattenberg Lake. Closing occurred in late December of 2019 at which time Westminster took title to approximately 2,500 acre feet of the initial storage amount associated with Wattenberg Lake. At closing, Westminster made a payment to Aggregate Industries in excess of $4.5 million dollars. Work on the second phase of lined storage is ongoing and has occurred during the diligence period. As of the date of this application, AI has completed the first cell of lined storage as discussed above and delivered the first cell to Westminster. Design work on inlet and outlet components is ongoing. Westminster has incurred significant expenses related to this project during the diligence period. 4.3. Westminster is the owner of a storage account at the West Gravel Lakes. Westminster has incurred expenses during the diligence period associated with its storage account at the West Gravel Lakes, including but not limited to expenses associated with the operation and maintenance of its storage account and the Lower Clear Creek/Colorado Agricultural ditches as well as pumping costs associated with the operation of the storage account. Water diverted pursuant to the Brighton Ditch 2016 Exchange can be exchanged to the Lower Clear Creek/Colorado Agricultural ditches and reduced to storage in West Gravel Lakes. Costs associated with West Grael Lakes have been incurred during the diligence period. 4.4. During the diligence period, Westminster continued to operate under the carriage agreement with the Farmers’ High Line Canal and Reservoir
Company for the use of excess capacity in the Farmers’ High Line Canal. This agreement allows Westminster to carry additional water through the Farmers’ High Line Canal, including water exchanged to the Farmers’ High Line Canal in accordance with the decree in Case No. 16CW3186. Westminster is contractually obligated to pay an annual fee for use of the Farmers’ High Line Canal. Similarly, Westminster holds carriage agreements with the Lower Clear Creek/Colorado Agricultural ditches, the Kershaw Ditch, the Manhart Ditch and the Croke Canal. Costs associated with these various carriage agreements and ditches, including operations and maintenance costs, have been incurred during the diligence period. 4.5. During the diligence period, Westminster has also paid funds in the form of ditch assessments to the Brighton Ditch Company, the Farmers’ High Line Canal and Reservoir Company, FRICO, the Manhart Ditch Company and the Kershaw Ditch Company. Said funds have been used, in part, to maintain the ditches necessary for operation of the conditional exchange. 4.6. The Brighton Ditch 2016 Exchange as adjudicated in Case No. 16CW3186, is part of Westminster’s Clear Creek Water Supply System, an integrated system under § 37-92-301(4)(b), C.R.S. During the diligence period, Westminster has continued the development of its Clear Creek Water Supply System. Activities have included, among other things: prosecuting Water Court applications to incorporate purchased Clear Creek water interests into the City’s Water Supply System; exercising conditional exchanges and making portions absolute or obtaining diligence decrees on the remaining conditional portions; ongoing costs and expenses related to completion of Wattenberg Reservoir; and, participation in numerous Water Court cases for purposes of protecting, maintaining and developing Westminster’s Water Supply System. Expenses associated with these activities were incurred during the diligence period. 4.7. During the diligence period, Westminster has participated in a number of water court proceedings in an effort, in part, to protect and maintain return flows to Big Dry Creek and the Clear Creek and South Platte River basins. Costs associated with these efforts were incurred during the diligence period. 5. Water applied to beneficial use: N/A. Westminster is claiming diligence only in this matter. 6. Name(s) and address(es) of owner(s) or reputed owners of the land upon which any new diversion or storage structure, or modification to any existing diversion or storage structure is or will be constructed or upon which water is or will be stored, including any modification to the existing storage pool: The relevant diversion and storage structures associated with the Brighton Ditch 2016 Exchange are all existing structures and do not need modification in order to operate said exchange. On information and belief the augmentation structures identified in paragraph 3.2, above, are owned by the City of Aurora, Colorado, a municipal corporation of the counties of Adams, Arapahoe and Douglas, acting by and through its Utility Enterprise, whose address is 15151 E. Alameda Pkwy., Suite 3600 Aurora, CO 800121555. WHEREFORE, Westminster requests the Court to enter its decree and ruling as follows: To make a finding of reasonable diligence with respect to the Brighton Ditch 2016 Exchange, and providing that a subsequent showing of diligence be made six years from the date of entry of a decree of diligence.

South Adams intends to use, reuse, successively use and fully-consume the exchanged water, and subject to the terms and conditions decreed herein, the exchanged water may be used to extinction for the uses described herein either directly or after diversion or re-diversion to storage. CLAIM FOR FINDING OF REASONABLE DILIGENCE 4. Outline of work and expenditures during the diligence peri-
od towards completion of the appropriation and application of water to a beneficial use: The conditional storage water right decreed to Mann Lakes Reservoir described in paragraph 2 above and the conditional appropriative rights of exchange described in paragraph 3, above are referred to collectively herein as the “Subject Conditional Water Rights.” The diligence period for the Subject Conditional Water Rights is July 2018 through July 2024 (“Diligence Period”). The Subject Conditional Water Rights are integral to South Adams’ overall water supply system, and during the Diligence Period, South Adams has and will continue to pursue development and beneficial use of these water rights as growth continues and water demands increase within the District. South Adams provides water and wastewater services to more than 68,000 customers in Commerce City and Adams County. South Adams maintains a diverse portfolio of water rights – both conditional and absolute – in order to provide potable and non-potable water to its present and future customers. The Subject Conditional Water Rights are part of South Adams’ integrated water supply system to supply water for municipal purposes. “When a project or integrated system is comprised of several features, work on one feature of the project or system shall be considered in finding that reasonable diligence has been shown on the development of the water rights for all features of the entire project or system.” C.R.S. § 37-92-301(4)(b). Consequently, all work and expenditures by South Adams in connection with its municipal water system directly and indirectly constitute part of South Adams’ reasonable diligence in developing the Subject Conditional Water Rights. The Subject Conditional Water Rights, in conjunction with the operation of South Adams’ plan for augmentation, will be used by South Adams to augment stream depletions or to exchange South Adams’ fully consumable water associated with certain sources of substitute supply into storage for use within South Adams’ municipal system and/or for subsequent release for augmentation purposes. During the Diligence Period, South Adams worked to develop the Subject Conditional Water Rights, complete the appropriations, and place the water to beneficial use, as demonstrated by the following representative but non-exhaustive list of activities and expenditures. 4.1 South Adams participated in regular meetings with Todd Creek Village Metropolitan District and Adams County regarding Mann Lakes Reservoir. The discussion topics included: (a) design and rehabilitation of the storage cells; (b) design and construction of the interconnect pipelines; and (c) design and construction of the inlet and outlet infrastructure. 4.2 Mann Lakes Reservoir is a major component of South Adams’ water system. It is included in South Adams’ master plan and ongoing water system operations model, which is utilized by South Adams for its augmentation plan planning. 4.3 South Adams has incurred an average of approximately $5.4 million per year in general costs and expenses in support of its municipal water supply system and for maintaining, protecting, and expanding this system. 4.4 Over the Diligence Period, South Adams has incurred an average of $4.2 million per year in engineering fees for engineering work in support of its municipal supply system generally, and has incurred additional engineering fees each year associated with specific capital improvement projects. 4.5 On average during the Diligence Period, South Adams spent approximately $28 million per year on capital improvement projects associated with its municipal supply system including without limitation: (a) completion of a water transmission main from Wells 21, 47, and 88 to South Adams’ Klein Treatment Facility; and (b) construction of a state-of-the-art water softening plant at South Adams’ Klein Water Treatment Facility. South Adams has an ongoing water distribution and main rehabilitation program and is currently constructing a state-of-the-art ion exchange treatment facility at South Adams’ Klein Water Treatment Facility. 4.6 South Adams incurred a total of $1.4 million in engineering fees associated with maintenance of its existing water supplies, including but not limited to such activities as accounting for South Adams’ water use, operation of and accounting for South Adams’ plan for augmentation, protecting South Adams’ water rights from injury by opposing water court applications, and assisting South Adams with daily water operations. 4.7 South Adams paid $1,440,323.00 in legal fees to obtain decrees for water rights that are part of South Adams’ integrated water system and for participating as an opposer in various Water Court cases to protect South Adams’ water rights against injury from other water users. 4.8 South Adams completed a comprehensive Water System Master Plan in 2020. South Adams has spent $715,000 on updating its Water System Master Plan during the Diligence Period. 4.9 South Adams has and
continues to work with the City of Commerce City on planning, growth projections, and water supply demand projections, as South Adams’ service area is primarily within the City’s boundaries. In addition to in-house staff time at South Adams, South Adams incurred $0.75 million in consultants’ fees for water supply planning-related work during the Diligence Period. 5. Names and addresses of owner(s) of the land upon which any new diversion or storage structure, or modification to any existing diversion or storage structure is or will be constructed or upon which water is or will be stored: 5.1 Mann Lakes South Platte River Diversion and Mann Lakes Reservoir: Adams County, 9755 Henderson Road, Brighton, Colorado 80601. 5.2 Wattenberg Reservoir: City of Westminster, c/o Director of Public Works, 4800 West 92nd Avenue, Westminster, CO 80030. 5.3 North Reservoir Complex: The City and County of Denver, acting by and through its Board of Water Commissioners, 1600 West 12th Avenue, Denver, Colorado 80204. 5.4 South Platte Diversion I: City of Westminster, 4800 West 92nd Avenue, Westminster, Colorado 80030. WHEREFORE, South Adams respectfully requests that the Court enter a decree (i) granting this application; (ii) finding that South Adams has exercised reasonable diligence in completing the appropriation of the Subject Conditional Water Rights during the Diligence Period; and (iii) continuing the Subject Conditional Water Rights in full force and effect for an additional diligence period.
