Urban Drainage officials
raise issues with Lowry
Vista development
The Denver Urban Drainage and
Flood Control District has urged the
city to reject a General Development
Plan(GDP) for Lowry's Lowry Vista,
as submitted by the International Risk
Group, who seeks to develop the for-
mer landfill parcel at Alameda and
Clinton.
Bill DeGroot, the Floodplain manag-
er for District wrote to Chris Gleissner,
the city's planner reviewing the Lowry
Vista plan, "Again, we urge you to
reject the GDP and allow our planning
process to proceed without being gut-
ted before we can finish."
The Flood Control District is try-
ing to comply with a request from the
Army Corps of Engineers to develop
a master plan for eligible land uses in
the area.
In July, the Army Corps of Engineers
told the Flood Control District to stop
the Lowry Vista project. “Based upon
this review, we disapprove the struc-

use, and the potential for greater risk
to human life and safety,” the Corps
wrote in a letter.
The concerns revolve around the
potential impact on the Westerly Creek
Dam, and could increase the flood risk
to already developed areas of Lowry.
In May, Mayor Hickenlooper's
office, through a letter from Chief of
Staff Kelly Brough, sought "to allow

proceed with development of the site
they have obtained from the Lowry
Redevelopment Authority (LRA),
including the area of the flood pool
over which the Urban Drainage and
Flood Control District has an ease-

Gov. Ritter: Hire a veteran
first
By Bill Ritter, Jr.
Some memories never fade. They stay
with you long after the sun has set, long
after your surroundings have changed
… long after the world has become a dif-
ferent place. It doesn’t matter how long
ago the events of war took place to those
who lived through the conflict. For those
who went to war and came back, a part
of them will forever remain in that place
where those memories were made.
On November 11, America pays trib-
ute to the millions of brave men and
women who have answered the call of
duty. Some are still with us, others are
not. Regardless of the decade or the
years in which they served, their service
to the country shaped and changed their
lives. They left their homes and their
loved ones. Many put their career and
their education on hold. They endured
tremendous hardships, were placed in
the most inhospitable places and placed
their lives in harm’s way – all in the name

of freedom. Across the span of time, they
were willing to stand up for the values
that our forefathers, in turn, gave their
lives to establish.
Their service to country changed their
lives but it also changed our lives. The
freedom and the democracy we enjoy
today was hard won by these successive
generations of soldiers who fought against
tyranny and defended our country. We
owe them all a debt, one that we may
never fully be able to repay. What they
have done for us and for the Americans
that followed in their footsteps deserves
our thanks and our gratitude.
How do you adequately thank some-
one for such a tremendous sacrifice? Here
is one good way. We have nearly 450,000
veterans in Colorado today, some of

whom are struggling to find a job despite
their outstanding skills and experience.
The way we can thank those veterans
who have interrupted their lives and
often suffered physical or emotional inju-
ry in defense of our freedom is to ensure
that when they return home, they are wel-
comed, respected -- and employed.
I have signed a proclamation pro-
claiming November to be “Hire a Veteran
First Month” in Colorado. I am encourag-
ing employers statewide to hire as many
veterans as possible, and not only during
this month in which our thoughts turn
to veterans, but as a long-term matter of
policy.
When leaving military service, hav-
ing a job can make all the difference for
veterans and their families. So if you are
an employer, take part in “Hire a Veteran
Month,” and hire a veteran this month,
next month, or whenever you have the
opportunity. If you have employees who
are called to active duty, make sure their 53"$*
jobs are waiting for them when they
return. Let that be your thanks for their

There is also another way to thank
a veteran and it is a very simple act.
It doesn’t involve special programs or
parades or proclamations. Simply offer
them your hand and thank them for their
service. It is the best way for you to let
them know that you recognize what they
have done and that it has not been forgot-
ten or taken for granted.
