For a drought-stricken state that
has seen hundreds lose homes to

BOULDER — Federal officials

LONGMONT — Imagine having
a garden that yields fresh vegetables
and doesn’t require pulling weeds or
getting dirt under your fingernails.
What if that yield included some
fresh fish as well?
Sylvia Bernstein not only imagined that meal — she made it available for anyone who’s interested in
growing it for themselves. The aquaponics system combines aquafarming — raising fish — with hydroponics — growing plants in water.
The symbiotic nature of the
method occurs when the fish waste
provides a food source to the plants,
and the plants provide a filter for the
fish water. Microbes, aka bacteria,

and worms convert the fish waste
into nutrients for the plants.
And the result is a win-win-win.
Fish thrive, plants thrive, and gardeners thrive.
“As opposed to hydroponics, aquaponic systems love bacteria because it
converts fish waste into plant food,”
Bernstein said. “They let nature take
its course more than hydroponics.”
Along with her husband, Alan Bernstein, Sylvia launched The Aquaponics Source Inc. in 2010. And now
they’re celebrating the company’s move
from their basement in Boulder to a
7,600-square-foot facility in Longmont
with a grand opening Oct. 5.
The new space includes a retail
store, a classroom and a research and
development laboratory.
Sylvia’s background includes
seven years at AeroGrow International Inc. in Gunbarrel, where she
was director of plant production
and ran the grow lab. “Some of us
wanted to come up with a way to
replace the chemical fertilizer used
in hydroponics,” she said.
“It ends up that aquaponics isn’t
that complicated,” she said. “A guy at

These days, as many as 75 folks

The Davis Phinney Foundation
teamed up with a professor at the
University of Alabama-Birmingham to
make the video. Sobol is one of 13 folks
living with Parkinson’s around the
United States who are featured in it.
Sobol was diagnosed with the disease in January 2012, after having
symptoms for three years. In his 60s,
Sobol got to the point where he needed help getting out of bed or into a car.
“The results have been the most
rewarding thing I’ve done in my life,”
Sobol said. “I’m walking better, I’m
standing up straight, I can walk in the
yard, I can hike.”
Sobol said the YMCA class is really
positive. People cheer for others when
they’re able to do movements they
haven’t been able to do in a long time.

BEV teams with Coritech on V2G charging system
BY CLAYTON MOORE
[email protected]
LAFAYETTE — Boulder Electric
Vehicle Inc. has had the attention of
the logistics industry with its range
of high-tech electric delivery trucks,
flatbeds and service vehicles. But its
new charging system that can move
energy between electric trucks and
the local power grid could prove to
be a boon for the electric-vehicle
industry.
This summer, the company successfully demonstrated the system,
known as vehicle to grid, or V2G.
It can pull off this laboratory trick
at a previously unheard of level of
60 kilowatts and move it in both
directions.
HIGH-TECH
MARKETPLACE
The project was launched in partnership with Michigan-based Coritech Services, which built the DC
chargers that enable the system to
work. The collaboration came at
the behest of the SPIDERS (Smart
Power Infrastructure Demonstration
for Energy Reliability and Security)
program, a joint project between
the Department of Energy, Department of Defense and Department of

Homeland Security.
The technology was successfully
demonstrated to those agencies in
July at the microgrid at Fort Carson. A test at Coritech’s facility in
Royal Oak, Michigan duplicated the
results, as did a third demonstration
in August at Lafayette-based Boulder
EV’s new plant in Los Angeles for
the California Energy Commission’s
grants manager.
“We really drilled into this prob-
Longmont
lem and made a full-court press,”
said Carter Brown, Boulder EV’s
chief executive. “We achieved bidirectional transmission the first
time, at full power. Both in California and Colorado, there is a lot of
emphasis on wind and solar energy.
When there is too much of it, where
do we store the energy? The only real
solution is battery storage, which is
what big electric trucks are designed
to handle.”
In a f leet model, the concept
would allow V2G vehicles to charge
quickly at night when power demand
is lower, as well as a practice known
as “peak shaving,” which sends power
back to the grid when needed, with
remuneration from the local power
utility to the fleet owner.
“It represents a huge opportunity,”
Brown said. “Imagine 50 trucks in
one place. That’s five or 10 megawatts on tap. With the technology
we have right now, one truck could
power a neighborhood cul-de-sac for
a week. Now imagine that potential
during a disaster like the one we’ve
experienced this month.”
W hile the results have been
groundbreaking for the partners
involved, Brown admits that decades
of research into the concept have
preceded Boulder EV’s success. A

technology exists at the University
of Delaware that focuses more on
smaller automotive chargers, while
Denmark’s Edison project is using
the technology to balance the country’s unpredictable wind farms.
Willett Kempton of the University
of Delaware is one of the country’s
acknowledged experts in the field,
and his team is using 20 cars to
field-test the V2G concept. He was
aware of Boulder EV’s tests but says
that the path to commercialization
remains a complicated process.
“They’re doing a technical demonstration of the actual vehicle’s ability
to transmit energy,” Kempton said
of Boulder EV’s test results. “Being
certified, registered and becoming
part of the energy market just like an
electric generator company would is
very different. Getting a very technical system to follow all the rules of
a specific power grid is not the same
as throwing a switch and discharging
enemy.”
“We’re standing on some broad
shoulders,” Brown admitted. “Coritech has done a remarkable job of
figuring out the ins and outs of applying this technology on the charger
side. The chargers and the vehicles
have to be able to talk to each other
in the same language, with the same
accents. This is a case of two nimble,
agile companies working together
towards a common goal. I don’t think
either of us could have accomplished
this success alone.”
Brown also accented that while
the environmental benefits of V2G
technology are great, there are also
financial considerations at play for
its users. The companies currently
testing Boulder EV’s vehicles include
behemoths like FedEx and UPS.
“The attraction of this technology is making these electric trucks
pay for themselves earlier,” he said.
“An electric truck costs two or three
times the price of a normal truck, so
you have to have an economic payback in the end. Part of that payback
is making your diesel fuel costs go
away, so you’re going from 50 cents
a mile to five cents per mile. Part of
it is the decrease in maintenance.
The V2G part is a serious economic
incentive. If you have enough trucks
parked in one place, all of a sudden
that’s a valuable resource that the
grid can manage, and pay back to the
company that owns the resource.”
Cost of these chargers may be a
consideration for some fleet owners.
A typical AC charging station used
for electric cars runs about $1,500,
according to Kempton. Brown
reports that each DC charging station developed by Coritech costs
approximately $ 80,0 0 0. Brown
noted that the systems are designed
to pay for themselves within three
years of operation.
“Let’s say a delivery company has
their trucks parked for 12 hours
every night,” said Brown by way of
example. “Instead of spending that
time charging up the battery packs,
you can spend one hour charging
them. Those remaining 11 hours
can be used for frequency regulation, peak shaving, and generating
inexpensive kilowatt energy. That’s
a valuable resource for a fleet in one
place.”
Brown declined to share the company’s current production numbers,
but noted that those statistics were
likely to change when the company’s
plant in Los Angeles begins production in January of next year.

FLOOD 2013
Lyons recovery could be months away
Some can
afford to wait;
others unsure
BY DALLAS HELTZELL
[email protected]
LYONS – The clamor of recovery
gradually is replacing the muted tones
of despair in this flood-stricken town at
the gateway to the mountains.
Even so, public access to the town
remains tightly restricted, and it could
be months before Lyons can approach
normal business conditions.
“They’re saying two to six months,”
said Dave Oehlman, owner of the
Smokin’ Dave’s barbecue restaurants
in Lyons and Estes Park.
Worse, town administrator Victoria Simonsen told a packed meeting
held Sept. 19 in Longmont’s City
Council chambers that Lyons’ water
is unsafe to drink because it’s contaminated with E. coli – potentially
deadly bacteria that can cause bloody
diarrhea, dehydration and kidney
failure. It will take at least $1 million to get the treatment plant and
compromised water lines back into
shape, she said – not to mention what
will be needed to repair the electricity and gas infrastructure, roads and
bridges.
Beginning Sept. 23, more than a
week after the last of the disastrous
deluge tapered off, contractors began
pouring in to the town to start the
herculean task of clearing the rubble
and putting the pieces of Lyons’ tourist
economy back together. A round-theclock traffic checkpoint was opened
to allow residents and business people
in and out without having to obtain
a pass. Contractors were to be let in
from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. after picking up a
permit at the Disaster Assistance Center, set up in one of the vacant spaces at
Twin Peaks Mall in Longmont.
That center also began helping displaced workers – including owners of
small businesses and the self-employed
– apply for emergency unemployment
benefits for which they might not otherwise be eligible.
Lyons Chamber of Commerce
administrator Tamara Vega Haddad
worked furiously to gather information about other available resources
for residents and businesses and then
spread it on social media.
For some business owners, the
future is as certain as their own determination. Others aren’t so sure.
Oskar Blues Grill and Brew, the
company’s original home which produced all the specialty brews for its
restaurants, suffered only minor damage from roof leaks and otherwise
was “fine and dry” and “we’re very
lucky,” said Chad Melis, director of
marketing.
COURTESY TED WOOD
Lyons’ Main Street, normally crowded with tourists on a September Saturday, was damp, desolate and debris-laden on Sept.
14. The few residents who remained tried their best to take care of each other, sharing food and supplies.
LYONS TOWN ADMINISTRATOR VICTORIA SIMONSEN
told a packed meeting held Sept. 19 in Longmont’s City
Council chambers that Lyons’ water is unsafe to drink because
it’s contaminated with E. coli – potentially deadly bacteria that
can cause bloody diarrhea, dehydration and kidney failure.
Employees got into town Sept. 16
to rescue bottles and kegs of beer, but
Melis said “our first step was making
sure all of our 55 Lyons employees
were safe and accounted for and helping
them find a place to live and find work.”
The next step, he said, was establishing the 501(c)3 “Can’d Aid Foundation” which grew out of what Melis
described as “the amazing response
from Oskar Blues’ family and friends”
to the company’s initial flood-relief
fund. Oskar Blues will donate $1 from
every beer sold at its restaurants to flood
relief through the end of the month, as
well as $200 from every bicycle sold
from its REEB Cycles business.
Oskar Blues has moved many of
the music events scheduled for Lyons
to its Liquids and Solids or CHUBurger restaurants in Longmont.
At Planet Bluegrass, home to summer music festivals and other events,
a self-rerouted St. Vrain River rushed
in front of the stage, swamped the
grounds and swept an office away,
depositing its roof atop owner Craig
Ferguson’s car. Still, its website reassured fans that “we are all safe and
deeply committed to welcoming Festivarians back to Lyons for the 2014
summer festivals. For those that are
able to lend a hand, there will be
opportunities to help with Planet
Bluegrass' recovery in the coming
months.”
For Mindy Tallent and her husband, Sam, who opened The Stone
Cup coffee house on Lyons’ Main
Street in 2004 and later added a cafe,
the morning of Sept. 12 was one of
dashed hopes.
“After the warning sirens began
around 2 a.m., we definitely didn't
sleep,” she said. “Sam drove down in
our golf cart to check on the cafe and
saw many people evacuating their
homes. At that time we had power,
gas and water. I walked down to the
cafe around 5 a.m. to prepare for
opening at 6 a.m. It was still dark,
but I could see cars parked along all
accessible streets around our neighborhood. Many people went to the
temporary evac center at the elementary school, (but) many people slept
in their parked cars all night.
“As soon as I opened the doors to
the cafe, I had folks coming in for
coffee (and) to use our Internet connection and restrooms,” she said. “By
9 a.m., we were told that our water
treatment plant was compromised
and all water should be boiled before
usage. We decided to close up the cafe
at that time. Folks were still able to
use our Internet and hang out on our
patio through the day and into the
evening. Our gas was turned off that
day and then our water, but we still
had electricity. We lost electricity
sometime during the night.”
The next day, with no power for
refrigerators, they distributed some
perishable items to the evacuation
center, then built a temporary fire
pit in the parking lot and organized a
community cookoff. Sam and others
“cooked an incredible amount of meat
– everything we had and much more
that was donated from other business
and personal coolers and refrigeration;
chicken, steak, hot dogs, shrimp, fish,
you name it,” she said. “We must have
served over 1,000 people, and everyone was fed. It was a bittersweet affair
and wonderful to see so many gathered together for a final community
farewell” before they were evacuated
by a National Guard convoy.
“Although our home and business were not damaged by the flood,”
she said, “we are certainly without
our home and livelihood as long as it
takes for the town infrastructure to
be rebuilt.”
For Smokin’ Dave’s, the disaster
was a double whammy. Oehlman’s
Estes Park restaurant stayed open to
serve locals, but with most routes into
the town closed, tourist traffic was
nonexistent and companies delivering
supplies had to travel circuitous and
treacherous mountain roads. Refrigeration issues were just one of Oehlman’s
worries in Lyons. He leases his space
there and said he wonders whether
he’ll be able to keep paying rent until
he’s able to reopen because “Estes Park
just can’t subsidize Lyons.”

McLean said Sept. 17, noting that some
of the volunteers were members of his
church, although he didn’t know where
all had come from. “I think there’s just
volunteers here who are good people.
For people to come out here and do
this, it’s absolutely terrific.”
Ignoring the business implications of
the natural disaster, though, was impossible. At one point, McLean looked
down and with his foot flipped over a
part that his injection molding company – officially named HisArmCo Inc.,
but doing business as WP Manufacturing – had made for a customer.
“That’s a $10 bill,” he said.
Such scenes were playing out up
and down Boston Avenue, one of the
areas of town where businesses were
hit hardest by the floodwaters that
for a couple of days divided Longmont into disconnected northern and
southern halves.
JOSHUA LINDENSTEIN
Flooding leaves a chaotic scene in a portion of the machine shop and tool room at WP Manufacturing in Longmont, which
makes injection molding.
Brad Power, Longmont director of
economic development, said it would
take some time for city officials to land
an official count of businesses affected.
He and his staff had been too busy
dealing with life safety issues and helping with various other relief efforts.
“I’m frankly amazed at how many
are reopened,” Power said a week
after the flooding had begun. “People
are working pretty hard out there to
get back going.”
While almost all vowed to be back
in business, many knew the road to
recovery would be a long one. Damage
estimates for many ranged from the
thousands to the millions of dollars.
Record rainfall pummeled the
Front Range, starting Sept. 9 and
lasting nearly a week. On Sept. 12,
Boulder County’s rivers and creeks
could no longer contain all the water.
In Longmont, the St. Vrain River and
Left Hand Creek overflowed all the
way through town before eventually
converging on the east side.
Harvest Junction, a shopping center
that straddles Colorado Highway 119 in
the southeast part of town, saw flooding
on both sides of the road, although most
of those businesses reopened within a
couple days after the rain subsided. The
same went for the area of South Main
Street where Lefthand Creek crosses it.
Businesses near First Avenue and Main
also were affected.
Recovery along and near Boston
Avenue, to the west of Main, will take
more time.
Once floodwaters receded, the

scene along Boston from Sunset Street
to Price Road looked like something
out of the old West, with vehicles
instead of stagecoaches kicking up
dust from the mud-packed street.
The water that impacted that area
most, however, didn’t come directly
from the nearby St. Vrain River but
via the St. Vrain-swamped Izaak Walton Park to the north, where a pond
burst through its banks.
Left Hand Brewing Co., right next
to the St. Vrain, saw minimal flooding in its buildings and had opened its
tap room by Sept. 16. Beer was being
brewed again the next day. But 50
yards to the east, Sun Construction
saw eight inches of water in its building. Across the street from Sun, commercial and residential maintenance
company Panorama Coordinated Services got about two feet. Farther east,
businesses such as WP Manufacturing
and The Corvette Spa saw two to
three feet of water in their buildings.
“Compared to our neighbors, we’re
pretty lucky,” said Chris Lennert, vice
president of operations for Left Hand,
which celebrated its 20th anniversary in
part by raising money for flood relief at
Longmont Oktoberfest on Sept. 20-21.
Panorama owner Pete Storz said
his company had been able to get
most of its main assets – vehicles and
equipment – out of its building to
a different location before the flood
waters hit. His software and client data
were backed up in the cloud. Despite
having plenty of flood damage to clean
up in his building, Panorama was operating as usual on Sept. 17. Storz had
no damage estimate but said he had
insurance to cover most of it.
Not everyone could say the same.
Owner Curt Ingram of Corvette
Spa, a high-performance and autorestoration shop, said he had no flood
insurance to cover his estimated

FLOOD 2013
Boulder businesses make do amid mud
Cleanup goes on
days after storms
flood parts of city
BY BETH POTTER
[email protected]
BOULDER – A river of mud – up
to six inches deep in some places –
still covered the former parking lots
and buildings of several businesses on
North Broadway in Boulder almost
three days after storms that caused
devastating flooding had moved on.
Passers-by stepped carefully on the
muddy sidewalk in front of SecurCare Self Storage as cars drove by
slowly, kicking up clouds of dust on
the road. A backhoe moved dirt in
the obscured paved parking lot of KL
Realty, at 4535 N. Broadway. Three
doors to the north, a forklift moved
clean solar panels from inside of the
water-logged Namaste Solar Electric
Inc. building into waiting storage
truck trailers.
At SecurCare, 4545 N. Broadway, workers shoveled water and
mud from a clogged storm drain.
Area manager Melissa Melgaard
watched nearby, taking phone calls
and in-person questions from storage
unit customers worried about their
belongings. A man raised his voice,
worried about his truck parked in a
SecurCare unit.
But for the most part, people were
calm about the potential damage to
belongings in the units, Melgaard
said. Water and mud flooded into the
facility from the west side on Sept. 12,
and kept coming after that, according to Melgaard and nearby business
owners.
Officials estimate $150 million
in damage was done to roads, bridges and buildings in a preliminary
assessment done across the Front
Range. More detailed numbers were
not immediately available, as businesses and residents continued to
clean up.
At Namaste, one building north of
the SecurCare site, cleanup workers
from Ecos Environmental & Disaster
Restoration Inc. were loading up clean
solar panels.
Boulder Namaste workers were
working from the company’s Denver office and from space at Tendril
Networks Inc., a power grid software
company located near 55th and Pearl
streets in Boulder, said Blake Jones, a
co-founder of Namaste.
“It’s been crazy. After the water
finally stopped, we said ‘Hooray,
the water stopped, but look at the
sediment it left behind’,” Jones said.
“We’re thankful that we could shift
our operations.”
Jones said he expects Boulder
cleanup to take three to four months.
From a logistical standpoint, Namaste

employees can work from anywhere,
though, he said. Tendril volunteered
space because its software dovetails
nicely with Namaste’s work with the
solar panels, Jones said.
In addition, volunteers from a B
Corporation conference held in Boulder during the week also helped clean
up the Namaste offices and parking
lot, Jones said. B Corporation is a nonprofit group with a system to certify
socially conscious businesses. Several
local companies are B Corp.-certified,
including Namaste.
The Ecos Boulder building several
doors to the south of Namaste, was
closed, and its parking lot was filled
with mud. After flooding on Sept.
12, Boulder workers were sent to
the Glenwood Springs office. Even
though they were miles away, the
workers were overwhelmed by phone
calls requesting cleanup services in
Boulder County, said Paige Grable, a Boulder worker in Glenwood
Springs.
“Every friend I have was affected
by this,” Grable said. “We haven’t had
a chance to clean up our own office
because we’re going to people’s houses
and helping them.”
One door to the south of SecurCare, Stephanie Nelson, owner of
Nelson Law Office, 4535 N. Broadway, was dragging out trash cans of
waterlogged papers.
Across the street at Boulder Dental Arts, 4520 N. Broadway, Unit B,
employees worried about the “river”
outside in the street, but water never
actually came into the office, said Jeff
Patrician, owner of the practice. The
parking lot was filled with water the
next day – Friday the 13th. Patrician
said workers passed out free bottled
water that day to the hundreds of
people walking around in the street
to survey the damage.
“I don’t want to say it was a festive
atmosphere,” Patrician said, “but it
was like a snow day, where everyone
comes out to see the snow.”
Boulder Community Hospital’s
Foothills campus sustained some
minor flooding in two offices near
its laboratory over the several days
of torrential rain, said Patti Sedano,
a hospital spokeswoman. The water
did not reach the hospital’s laboratory,
however, and patient care was not
impacted, Sedano said.
Hospital officials have donated office space to Boulder County
CareConnect, which saw extensive
flood damage Sept. 12 in its previous office space at Frasier Meadows
Retirement Community, 350 Ponca
Place, near Baseline Road in east
Boulder. Residents of the assistedliving community were evacuated
that night, said Kathy Pollicita, a
spokeswoman. Many were later
temporarily moved to Golden West
Senior Living apartments and facilities.
CareConnect now is located in an
office building on Riverbend Road
across the street to the east from
the hospital’s Foothills campus. The
nonprofit coordinates volunteers with
local seniors and adults with disabilities.
West of the hospital, Fate Brewing
Co. was close to raging Boulder Creek
but sustained no damage other than
a flooded parking lot on Friday, said
Hannah Lloyd, sales manager.
“We were nervous when it was
raining as hard as it was. We came
in Thursday night to inspect it and
Friday night, but we haven’t had any
serious damage at all. We’re fully
open,” Lloyd said.
Pharmaceutical company CordenPharma Colorado, 2075 N. 55th St.,
saw some flood damage in its business
development building from accumulated rainwater inside the perimeter
of the company campus, said Abby
Thompson, a company spokeswoman.
“After a short period of assessing
the impact to the site, plant operations were restarted,” Thompson said
in an email. “Remediation efforts also
have begun.”
Some businesses on 15th Street
between Arapahoe Avenue and Canyon Boulevard also were affected
by flooding and mud. Art Cleaners
workers at 1715 15th St. shoveled
about six inches of mud off the sidewalk and street and put mats down
inside, said owner Brian Hansen.
Liquor Mart, 1750 15th St., was on
slightly higher ground and saw only
minor leaking in the roof, said Dominic Muniz, a store booth manager.
The Boulder Chamber stood
ready to offer emergency assistance
to any business that needed it, said
John Tayer, president of the business group. In addition to offices and
storefronts, many Boulderites who
work from home may have been
impacted by the flooding, Tayer said.
“The vast majority of businesses
are back up and running and ready
for business,” Tayer said. “Certainly
others will have longer recovery periods.”
David DuPont, chief executive
of TeamSnap Inc., was grateful that
his office at 1035 Pearl St. was unaffected. TeamSnap makes a mobile
application used by sports teams.
DuPont said his basement and
those of some employees were flooded by the storms. But when he saw
media reports that 119 houses were
destroyed in Colorado during the
storms, it “puts everything in perspective.”

FLOOD 2013
Agencies offer financial help in wake of flooding
BY BUSINESS REPORT STAFF
[email protected]
BOULDER – Owners of homes
and businesses affected by the floods
have several options for receiving
financial assistance, including lowinterest loans and grants, through the
federal government.
Companies in Boulder County can
apply for federal disaster loans of up
to $2 million from the Small Business
Association. Even if businesses didn’t
suffer any damage, owners can apply
for economic injury disaster loans of
up to $2 million, said Gary Colton,
a spokesman for the federal agency.
said. The working capital loan can
be used to pay for salaries and other
immediate expenses, he said.
“They have to show that their
revenues suffered as a result of the
storm and that flooding caused them
to be closed for a period of time and
decreased their business,” Colton said.
An estimated one in four small businesses does not survive a flood disaster,
according to industry estimates.
Disaster loans for businesses can
be used to repair or replace damaged
or destroyed real estate, equipment,
inventory and other business assets.
Homeowners can apply for loans of
up to $200,000 to repair or replace
damaged or destroyed real estate.
Homeowners and renters also can
apply for loans of up to $40,000
to repair or replace damaged or
destroyed personal property, the SBA
said.
Interest rates on the loans can be
as low as 4 percent for companies and
as low as 1.937 percent for homeowners and renters, the SBA said. Loan
amounts and terms are set by the
SBA and are based on each applicant’s
financial condition, the agency said.
Bill Koontz, a spokesman for the
SBA’s Office of Disaster Assistance,
said iInterest rates depend on whether
each applicant has credit available
elsewhere, or the ability to borrow
from non-government sources or
other sufficient funds or resources.
LONGMONT
SBA business recovery centers
BUSINESS REPORT STAFF
The U. S. Small Business Administration and the Colorado Small
Business Development Center have
set up business recovery centers in
Estes Park, Greeley, Longmont and
Loveland.
The centers are designed to provide key financial and counseling
services to businesses impacted by
the severe storms, flooding, landslides and mudslides that began
Sept. 11.
No appointment is necessary.

Those who do not have credit available elsewhere are eligible for SBA
disaster-relief assistance
Before businesses can apply for
assistance from the SBA, they must
register with the Federal Emergency
Management Agency, Koontz said.
FEMA’s disaster-related assistance
may include:
• Low-cost business loans up to $2
million for uninsured property losses.
• Working capital loans up to $2
million for small businesses and nonprofits to cover cash-flow problems to
recover from this disaster.
• Unemployment payments for
workers who temporarily lost jobs
because of the disaster.
• Income tax assistance for filing
casualty losses.
• Rental payments for temporary
housing,
• Grants for home repairs for items
not covered by insurance.
• Grants to replace personal property.
To be considered for loans, companies and individuals must call
FEMA at 1-800-621-FEMA (3362).
SBA representatives also are meeting
applicants personally at a center set
up in a vacant space at Twin Peaks
Mall in Longmont.
For details about the disaster recovery centers call the SBA Customer
Service Center at 1-800- 659-2955.
“We encourage everyone who is
eligible to apply,” Koontz said. “You
can turn down the loan if you’re
accepted, and it’s too early for some
people to tell what their costs will be
down the road.”
Ricardo Zuniga, a FEMA spokesman, said registering doesn’t guarantee funding, but that not registering
does guarantee individuals will not
receive assistance.
Aside from the federal government, other organizations are working to provide relief to those affected
by floods, either through monetary
donation or forgiveness of fees.
Colorado Farm Bureau has established a fund to aid farmers and
ranchers whose properties have been
impacted by flooding, and the Internal Revenue Service has announced
that certain taxpayers in affected
counties will be able to pay their taxes
later than originally required.
The IRS will postpone tax filing
Across the street, WP Manufacturing’s flood insurance policy was
capped at $500,000, well short of the
estimated $2.5 million to $3 million
McLean estimated he had in damage
and inventory loss. McLean had the
added issue of the city condemning his
45,000-square-foot building because
of structural damage at the northwest corner that included washed-out
ground at the foundation, a portion of
flooring that heaved and a hole in the
wall caused by flood debris.
McLean, who bought the company
in 2008, had moved it to the Boston
Avenue location in April 2012, making it tough to watch piles of brand
new carpet pulled out into the parking
lot. Still, McLean said if his machinery
“behaved” once it was cleaned up and
structural issues with the building
were fixed, the company could be back
in production soon. WP’s facility in
Mexico could help pick up some of the
slack in the meantime.
“On-time delivery is going to be a
challenge,” McLean said, adding that
he was confident that the business
would bounce back.
Like WP, Budget Home Center’s
flood insurance policy was capped
at $500,000. Owner Butch Vernon
estimated $500,000 to $1 million in
damage to the hardware store. Located
a couple blocks east of WP at Boston
and South Pratt Parkway, Budget saw
only about an inch of mud and water
in the 80,000-square-foot store, and

$75,000 to $80,000 in damage to
equipment and customers’ cars. He
was working with the Small Business
Administration instead to see what
sort of aid or loans were available.
Ingram said he’d likely be out of business three to four weeks while his
landlord repaired the building.
“It will not put me out of business,”
Ingram said. “We’re just set back.”
Next door at Main Street Import, a
small used-car dealer and repair shop
that had just relocated to the spot in
May, owner Andy Im estimated more
than $100,000 in damage. Im, who
also had no flood insurance, said the
flood wouldn’t put him out of business
but that he’d be “starting back at rock
bottom.”
Vernon said inventory there was fine.
In a lower building at the back of the
property where pre-hung doors and
countertops are made, however, Vernon said five feet of floodwater had
destroyed all inventory.
Nonetheless, Budget Home Center’s 45 employees were allowed back
in the building on Sept. 15, and the
store was open two days later. Like
McLean, Vernon lauded his employees
for their efforts and resilience. When
he first saw the damage, said Vernon,
who is nearing retirement, he wanted
to “hop in a Winnebago and head for
Arizona.” Those feelings quickly faded
as the cleanup efforts began.
“We have no plans but to fight on,”
Vernon said.

and Lyons alone – yielded 349 homes
destroyed, 428 with major damage and 3,426 with minor damage.
Another 87 commercial buildings in
those areas received major or minor
damage, with four destroyed.
That’s not counting any of the
hundreds of buildings flooded in
cities such as Boulder or Longmont,
where businesses were hit by damage
ranging from the thousands to the
millions of dollars and residents were
left scrambling to see if they were
one of the few who carried a flood
policy on top of their homeowner’s
insurance.
Eight flood-related deaths have
been confirmed in Colorado, including four in Boulder County. Early
fears were that those totals could
be much higher. Boulder County
worked through more than 800
reports of unaccounted-for people
during the storm before finally whittling that number down to zero the
week after the flooding as people
who had been stranded without
means to communicate were tracked
down.
More than 1,600 people in the
county had to be evacuated, including hundreds by air, by rescuers from
the National Guard and other agencies.
Xcel Energy Inc., estimates that
1,400 of its Boulder County customers were without electricity during
the height of the flooding, and about
7,000 lost natural gas service.
Monsoonal flow
The chaos all stemmed from a
monsoonal flow of moisture that
approached from the tropical Pacific
and got stuck over Colorado’s Front
Range between a pair of upper-level
weather systems that had parked
themselves to the east and west.
“It was just one of those setups
where everything came together just
right to allow us to have that sustained moisture and flow up against
the foothills,” said Kari Bowen, a
meteorologist with the National
Weather Service in Boulder.
The rain began Sept. 9, and the
area hadn’t seen the last of the storm
until a week later. In all, most parts
of Boulder received 16 to 17 inches of
rain, tripling the previous record for
the city for the entire month of September. The amounts were off the
Weather Service’s probability charts,
which indicated that such rainfall
should happen in Boulder on average
less than once every 1,000 years.
Longmont, which was hit hard by
flooding of the St. Vrain River and
Left Hand Creek, received up to
eight inches of rain during the same

FLOOD 2013
An attorney’s guide to dealing with disasters
A
s Boulder and the flood ravaged surrounding communities of the Front Range begin
the process of recovery, as a business
owner, your first priority will be to
make sure that your business premises are secure and, if your building
has been damaged, that you have
taken appropriate steps to make
your building safe for employees,
customers and visitors.
Be sure to keep track of the
expenses you incur to secure your
business as those expenses may be
covered by your insurance.
Additionally, document your damage by taking photographs and video
recordings, gathering copies of inventory records, asset records, building
improvements and remodels, etc. Take
detailed notes of your conversations
with first responders, insurance agents/
brokers, insurance claims representatives/adjusters, landlords, contractors,
restoration and service providers.
Be sure to include in your documentation the name of the person(s)
you spoke with; the purpose of the
call or visit; what was discussed;
action items; and, who is going to do
what and when. Where practicable,
confirm calls and meetings in writing with an e-mail or letter.
Review your insurance
If you have not done so, you should
locate and carefully review all insurance policies including general liability, automobile, business interruption
and umbrella or excess policies.
Contact your insurance representative regarding your damage
and for guidance on how to submit
your claim. Next, promptly notify
your insurance
carriers, including a written
confirmation of
your damage and
claim.
Typically, a
carrier representative or adjuster
will contact
GUEST OPINION
you within a
Theodore E. Lazlo Jr.
few days and
schedule a time
to visit your business and inspect
the damage and begin the process of
adjusting your claim — that is determining the extent of the damage,
cost of repair or replacement, and
available coverage; certain coverages,
like business interruption coverage,
may not cover the first few days of
loss.
If the carrier reports that some
or all of your damage is not covered
by your insurance policy, you should
ask for a complete explanation of
the basis for the denial of coverage.
If you continue to disagree with the
carrier’s decision about coverage,
many insurance policies provide for
an administrative appeal process and
require that you submit unresolved
disputes to binding arbitration rather
than through the legal system.
Stay connected, informed
Contact your clients and customers, vendors and suppliers, financial
institution, landlord, and/or mortgage lender to inform them of the
status of your business and when
you expect your business to return
to normal operations.
Recovery assistance may be available through local emergency resource
centers, FEMA, the Small Business
Administration, your local chamber of
commerce, and trade groups.
Be vigilant with repairs, cleanup
Another thing to be mindful of
is that part of your recovery process
may necessarily involve hiring a construction, repair or other service provider to assist with assessing the damage and making the needed repairs.
There are some fundamental due
diligence steps you can take when
dealing with a contractor or service
provider to protect yourself and your
business:
Ask for three to five local references, including their names and
contact information, and, then check
out those references. Check independent rating sources such as the
Better Business Bureau or the several
reputable on-line rating resources.
Depending on the nature of the
work, ask to review and inspect the
provider’s current licensing information.
Ask to review and inspect the
provider’s current insurance coverage information including general
liability, workers’ compensation and
automobile liability.
Insist on a proposal and ultimately
written contract for the services, which
provides at least the scope of work, payment terms, adherence to applicable
licensing and building code requirements and, the time for performance.
Do not agree to anything more
than a minimal deposit and progress
payments as the work proceeds to
your satisfaction. Never provide your
confidential personal or financial information. For example, there is no reason
the provider needs your personal information such as Social Security number
or bank account information.
These simple tips can help along
the process of recovery for your
business and help minimize risks
going forward.

BOULDER — CU’s Technology
Transfer Office has completed an
agreement with Solid Power LLC

mechanical engineering — for the
development and commercialization of an innovative solid-state
developed at CU. This new, low-cost chemistry has

Solid Power also was recently
awarded a $3.4 million grant from
the U.S. Department of Energy’s
Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy for the purpose of creating a battery that can improve
electric vehicle driving range.
The rechargeable batteries that
are standard in today’s electric vehicles—as well as in a host of consumer electronics, such as mobile
phones and laptops—are lithiumion batteries, which generate electricity when lithium ions move back

liquid electrolyte solution.
Engineers and chemists have long
known that using lithium metal as
the anode in a rechargeable battery
— as opposed to the conventional
carbon materials that are used as
the anode in conventional lithiumion batteries — can dramatically
increase its energy density.
But using lithium metal, a highly
reactive solid, in conjunction with
a liquid electrolyte is extremely
hazardous because it increases the
chance of a thermal runaway reaction that can result in a fire or an
explosion.
Today’s lithium-ion batteries
require a bulky amount of devices
to protect and cool the batteries. A
fire onboard a Boeing Dreamliner in
January that temporarily grounded
the new class of plane was linked to
its onboard lithium-ion battery.
Lee and Stoldt solved the safety concerns around using lithium
metal by eliminating the liquid
electrolyte. Instead, the pair built
an entirely solid-state battery that
uses a ceramic electrolyte to separate the lithium metal anode from
the
cathode.

Because the solid-state battery
is far safer, it requires less protective packaging, which in turn could
reduce the weight of the battery
system in electric vehicles and help
extend their range.
Research into the development
of solid-state batteries has gone
on for a couple of decades, but it
has been difficult to create a solid
electrolyte that allowed the ions to
pass through it as easily as a liquid
electrolyte.

Colt presses on after buying Estey
BY HEATHER MCWILLIAMS
[email protected]
BOULDER — For 38 years, businesses along the Front Range and
beyond used Boulder-based Colt Print
Services Inc. for a range of printing
needs from business cards and pamphlets to booklets and paperbacks.
In August, the company bolstered
its business when it acquired another long-time Boulder printer, Estey
Printing Co.
The two print shops used slightly
different equipment and often sent
work to each other over the years,
said Jim Colt, owner of Colt Print
Services, but after 59 years in the
printing business, Estey president Bill
Hayes wanted to retire. He turned to
Colt for help.
“We’ve talked for years, and he
knew that I made this work several
times in the past very successfully,”
Colt said. Colt plans to seamlessly
integrate Estey customers into his
company using existing files and artwork carefully transferred.
From traditional to digital,

on a press, but also has an array of digital options from
black-and-white to state-of-the-art digital color. It installed a
Xerox iGen4 digital color press in December. It runs six days
a week in a humidity-controlled room.
The Estey acquisition is the eighth
successful incorporation for Colt Print
Services since its inception in 1975,
Colt said. The company offers both
business printing and commercial
digital printing, something unusual in
the industry, he said. The most recent
merger will bring 300 new customers
to Colt. Colt Print Services does $3
million to $4 million in business each
year, and the Estey acquisition could
add $1 million in business per year.
“It’s a pretty significant increase,”
Colt said.
The print shop employs 25 employees and is roughly the 50th largest
printer in the nation, he said. To
facilitate a smooth transition for Estey
customers, long-time Estey general
manager Lauri Weaver moved to Colt
as well.
“She’s a nice addition to the Colt
family,” said Brenda Hittle, customer
service manager for Colt Print Services. Hittle began working in the industry as a youngster at her father’s print
shop, which Colt acquired in 2002.
She’s worked for Colt ever since. She’s
watched the company adapt to a rapidly changing industry, often on the
leading edge of new technology.

result often unavailable in a digital
print. In a separate room, a cluster
of black-and-white printers run 24
hours a day to meet clients’ needs and
provide quick turnaround, Colt said.
Colt offers other industry advances.
“The big trend today is variable
data printing,” Colt said. Variable data
printing allows clients to customize
each mailing to individual customers.
Whether it’s bound insurance plans
specific to each policy holder, real
estate brochures or mailings sporting
an addressee’s name, it’s a business
decision that makes sense, Colt said.
“The return rate is five to 10 times
higher on a mailing where the name
appears on the outside,” he said. “It’s
much more personalized and sophisticated.”
Colt offers traditional offset printing, too – something that can be
cheaper for larger orders.
“If you want 500, it’s almost always
cheaper to print on digital,” Colt said.
“If it’s 10,000, it’s cheaper to do traditional offset.” Traditional printing also
allows clients to create colors specific
to their company’s brand and not replicable on a digital machine.
Colt clients can use the company’s
Rapid ReOrder department, too, a
trademarked system developed by
Colt in the 70s. The shop stores samples of previous jobs along with all

pertinent information for reprints
with an order number. Clients receive
a binder with the same information,
then can call or email for reprints
of past jobs, such as envelopes, purchase orders and letterhead. It makes
follow-up jobs fast, accurate and easy
for clients when someone new begins
to do the ordering, Hittle said.
“Customers love it,” she said. “I
have clients who swear by it ... and
you don’t have to reinvent the wheel.”
Additionally, Colt’s onsite binding
department completes everything
from plastic coil to fold-and-stitch
booklets or paperback book binding.
Both can be done in black-and-white
or color. The print shop works with a
range of clients from self-published
authors to local businesses, such as
Sounds True, local grocery chains and
area governmental organizations.
Colt Print Services also offers custom online business portals, another
industry trend, Colt said. Custom
portals allow people to log in and
order business cards in less than a
minute, complete with an instant
online proof. Customers can order
in the evening and pick up cards the
next morning in the store, saving on
shipping as well, Colt said.
“The biggest cost of business cards
is typesetting,” he said, “and this
greatly reduces the cost and increases
the speed.”

cal,” Stoldt said. “However, the last
decade has seen a resurgence in the
development of new solid electrolytes with ionic conductivities that
rival their liquid counterparts.”
The critical innovation added
by Lee and Stoldt that allows their
solid-state lithium battery to outperform standard lithium-ion batteries is the construction of the
cathode, the part of the battery
that attracts the positively charged
lithium ions once they’re discharged
from the lithium metal.
Instead of using a solid mass of
material, Lee and Stoldt created
a “composite cathode,” essentially
small particles of cathode material
held together with solid electrolyte
and infused with an additive that
increases its electrical conductivity. This configuration allows ions
and electrons to move more easily
within the cathode.
“The real innovation is an all-solid composite cathode that is based
upon an iron-sulfur chemistry that
we developed at CU,” Stoldt said.
“This new, low-cost chemistry has
a capacity that’s nearly 10 times
greater than state-of-the-art cathodes.”
Last year, Lee and Stoldt partnered with Douglas Campbell, a
small-business and early-stage product development veteran, to spin
out Solid Power.
“We’re very excited about the
opportunity to achieve commercial success for the all solid-state
rechargeable battery,” said Campbell, Solid Power’s president. “We’re
actively engaging industrial commercial partners to assist in commercialization and expect to have
prototype products ready for in-field
testing within 18 to 24 months.”
Important to the early success
of the company has been its incubation within CU-Boulder’s College of Engineering and Applied
Science’s applied energy storage
research center, a part of the college’s energy systems and environmental sustainability initiative.
Solid Power is a member of Rocky
Mountain Innosphere, a nonprofit
technology incubator headquartered in Fort Collins, Colo., with a
mission to accelerate the development and success of high-impact
scientific and technology startup
companies.
“We’re very excited to be working with Solid Power’s team to get
them to the next level,” said Mike
Freeman, Innosphere’s CEO. “This
is a big deal to Colorado’s clean-tech
space. Solid Power’s batteries will
have a huge impact in the EV market, and they have a potential $20
billion market for their technology.”

Green investment fund producing ‘hot’ returns
C
harles Goldman is now an
equity partner in the ecofriendly Green Alpha Advisors LLC in Boulder.
Green Alpha is the subadvisor
to the Shelton Green Alpha Fund,
which has seen smokin’ hot returns
of 25.6 percent since launching in
March. You can find independent
verification of those returns at
Morningstar.com.
Morningstar also ranked the fund
No. 1 out of 1821 Large Growth
Funds in the second quarter ended
June 30.
But I digress.
Goldman previously headed registered investment advisory custody
units at both Charles Schwab &
Co. and Fidelity Investments before
making the move to Green Alpha.
The firm’s “green” investment
strategy continues to set it apart –
advisers look to invest in publicly
traded companies that focus on the
“Next Economy.”
What does that mean exactly in
the corporate world?
Publicly traded companies getting
a look-see from Green Alpha should
be involved in ways to address global
warming through transportation,
communications, commerce, infrastructure, materials, energy, agriculture, water or any other areas that
might be a fit.
Shelton Capital Management
in San Francisco is Green Alpha’s
parent, with $865 million in assets
under management. Green Alpha
has not disclosed client assets, but
it’s registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

The Colorado SBA numbers mirror
a national Wells Fargo small business
survey done in July that shows business owners are more optimistic than
they have been in the past five years.
Some 57 percent of smallbusiness owners across the country
report that they’re seeing a stronger
housing market.

Crocs settles, admits no wrongs
NIWOT – Shoemaker and retailer
Crocs plans to pay $10 million to settle a shareholder class-action lawsuit
without admitting any wrongdoing,
according to a legal document.
Shareholders in Niwot-based Crocs
Inc. (Nasdaq: CROX), known for its
colorful plastic shoes, sued directors
of the company, according to the legal
document. Shareholders allege that
directors made misleading statements
FUNDS
customers if the banks are being
asked to give the customers’ personal information to a third party.
Under the Gramm-Leach-Bliley
Act, banks must give their customers a chance to “opt out” before giving out personal information.

or 303-441-3570 – or call your local
police department.
about the company, which affected
stock prices from April 2007 to April
2008, according to the document.
A U.S. District Court judge in
Denver is expected to decide in February whether the proposed settlement amount is “adequate” to pay
shareholders, according to the document. Crocs shareholders have until
Dec. 26 to file a claim in connection
with the lawsuit.

Co. exited TARP in March 2011.
The TARP write-off to FBHC
came to light this month after the
Boulder County Business Report
requested a list of Colorado banks
that had received TARP funds from
the Office of the Special Inspector
General for TARP.
Of 11 Colorado banks on the list,
three paid their TARP loans in full and
four sold their stock at a loss back to
the U.S. Treasury. Four others, including FBHC Holding Co., owed missed
dividend and interest payments.
From 2009 to 2011, FBHC paid
back $154,592 in dividends and interest on its TARP loan, according to
Troy Gravitt, a spokesman for the
Office of the Special Inspector General for TARP.
In March 2011, Treasury officials
wrote off the remaining investment at
a loss of $2.385 million, Gravitt said.
The federal agency also forfeited its
right to collect an additional $123,127
in two dividend and interest payments
when it wrote off the debt, he said.
Flatirons Bank had other financial issues at the time, the Treasury
spokesman said. From 2005 to 2010,
former chairman Mark Yost masterminded a financial fraud scheme that
allowed him to defraud banks and
investors out of $10.8 million.
Yost is serving a six-and-a-half-year
prison sentence in connection with
his crimes.
While many banks across the
nation have repaid the TARP loans
they took, the U.S. Treasury department has written off $1.83 billion in
losses, according to the spokesman.

from 10A
period. Lyons, cut off by flooding
of the St. Vrain, received about 10
inches.
Most of the rain fell over the
course of about 72 hours late in the
week of Sept. 9.
The rain saturated the ground and
caused standing water in places not
accustomed to flooding. It caused
rivers such as the St. Vrain and Boulder and Left Hand creeks to rush
down mountain canyons onto the
plains, overflowing and even bursting through their banks in places,
flooding some areas that weren’t even
located in flood plains.
For a couple of days at the height
of the flooding, Longmont was cut in
half by the overflowed St. Vrain and
Left Hand. Lyons, meanwhile, was
completely isolated because roads
into town were flooded or wiped out.
Road damage
Damage to roads is staggering.
Colorado Department of Transportation spokeswoman Amy Ford
said 40 percent of U.S. Highway 36
between Boulder and Estes Park is
a total loss. Colorado Highway 72
in Coal Creek Canyon is 50 percent
destroyed. Colorado 119 up Boul-
der Canyon is 20 percent gone. To
the north, in Larimer County, U.S.
34 along the Big Thompson River
from Estes Park to Loveland is 85
percent destroyed.
Statewide, 200 lane miles of
state highways and roads were
wiped out. Thirty bridges were
destroyed and at least another 20
damaged.
The U.S. Department of Transportation so far has made $35 million in emergency relief funds available to repair roads and bridges, and
its early road and bridge damage
cost estimates in the state totaled
$152 million. The true price tag is
likely to be much higher.
Boulder County’s preliminary
estimate on damage to roads and
bridges came out to $89.9 million.
In his letter to Congress, Hickenlooper asked that the amount of
Emergency Relief Program funding available through the Federal
Highways Administration be raised
for Colorado – from its normal cap
of $100 million per disaster to a
cap of $500 million, as it was for
states affected by Hurricane Sandy.
C h ip Pau lson, a pr i ncipa l
engineer with MWH Global in
Broomfield and a stormwater infrastructure expert, said one reason
the damage in many areas of the
county was so severe is that many
facilities such as urban parks or
subdivisions – and even some roads
– are designed only to withstand
10- or 25-year weather events,
not 100-year floods or 1,000-year
rains such as what occurred. The
expense is too high, he said, to gird
every facility for the worst.
“The magnitude of the event
probably exceeded the design standards for many of those structures,”
Paulson said.
Official estimates of the damage
done are still being tabulated by
state and local agencies, although
the amount is likely to reach into
the billions of dollars.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency has opened disaster relief centers up and down the
Front Range to help individuals and
businesses cope with the damage.
Of the 17 counties reporting
flood damage, nine – Adams, Arapahoe, Boulder, Clear Creek, El
Paso, Jefferson, Larimer, Logan and
Weld – have been declared eligible
for FEMA assistance.
In those counties as of Sept. 23,
more than 16,800 households had
registered for FEMA assistance,
and the agency so far had approved
more than $22 million in assistance.
The Small Business Administration, which offers disaster recovery
loans for businesses and individuals, had issued 3,700 applications
to businesses and nonprofit organizations that had been either FEMA
referrals or had met with the SBA
in person at a disaster recovery
center.
Local government agencies
also have done what they can to
help ease the burden of repairs.
In Boulder and Longmont, the
building permit process for certain flood-related repairs has been
sped up. Boulder created a special
permit for such repairs that is free
of charge, and the Longmont City
Council was to discuss taking a
similar measure at its Sept. 24
meeting.
"We understand there's quite
a bit of rebuilding that needs to
occur,” said Boulder spokeswoman
Sarah Huntley, “and we want to aid
residences and businesses in that."

Software, skiwear coming to Pearl East
BOULDER – Businesses in the
Pearl East Business Park will gain a
couple of new neighbors this fall with
the move of Symplified Inc. from
downtown and the opening of a marketing office and showroom by Swiss
skiwear manufacturer Kjus.
Symplified, a provider of cloud
security software in the identity and
access-management realm, is leaving
its roughly 9,000-square-foot space
on the second floor at 1600 Pearl St.
and is moving into 8,055 square feet
at 4900 Pearl East Circle, No. 108.
Nate Litsey and Chad Henry of
W.W. Reynolds Cos., represented
the landlord in the Symplified lease
deal, while Marty Knape and Alex
Hammerstein of CBRE represented
the tenant.
Symplified chief executive Shayne
Higdon said the goal is to move in
mid-October.
Despite the smaller space, Higdon
said Symplified is in expansion mode,
adding more than 30 employees since
the first of the year as it rolled out a
couple of new products and partnerships.
Higdon, who has been CEO for
about a year, said recent employee
surveys uncovered a desire for things
such as showers and access to the
outdoors to help accommodate many
employees’ active lifestyles. The new
space will add such amenities, including a roll-up glass garage door employees can open to barbecue or play
basketball.
“I wanted to put our money where
our mouth is and give the employees
what they want,” Higdon said.
Another factor in the move was
the expansion of the building at 1600
Pearl, where Boulder Brands Inc. will
move into a newly
added third story
once it is complete. The addition of the third
story meant Symplified lost about
1,000 square feet
of its space to
make way for an
REAL ESTATE
elevator and stairJoshua Lindenstein
case.
While Higdon acknowledged the
prime downtown location Symplified
is leaving, he said the new digs will be
more open than its spot now.
Cloud storage provider SolidFire
Inc., which shares the second floor
of 1600 Pearl with Symplified, will
expand into the space Symplified is
leaving, SolidFire director of finance
Derek Kraus confirmed, adding that
the company had no other comment
on the expansion at this time.
For Kjus, a subsidiary of LK International AG, its new East Boulder
office gives the company a Rocky
Mountain region presence in a town
where plenty of other outdoor-apparel companies have put down roots.
Kjus, a subsidiary of LK International AG, leased 4,238 square feet at
4940 Pearl East Circle, No. 300, with
a goal of moving in by Dec. 1. Henry
and Litsey served as listing brokers in
the transaction while Kjus was represented internally.
“Those are both great deals for the
(business) park and for East Boulder,”
Henry said.
PEARL PLACE AMPHITHEATER: A 400-seat amphitheater is
part of the concept plan submitted
to the city of Boulder by developers
of the proposed Pearl Place redevelopment project near 30th and Pearl
streets.
Denver developers Dan Otis and
Darren Fisk bought three parcels of
land earlier this summer for $11.2
million, and recently closed on a
fourth, purchasing 2121 30th St.,
from Twenty One Twenty One LLC
for $1 million. The four parcels total
4.33 acres and wrap around Chase
Bank at the southwest corner of 30th
and Pearl. The parcels are home to a
couple of strip malls, as well as D&K
Printing and the Woodsongs music
store.
In addition to the landscaped
amphitheater that sits next to an
irrigation ditch that runs through
the site, the concept plan proposes
a pair of four-story office buildings
totaling 202,500 square feet, 6,000
square feet of retail space and an
83,500-square-foot, 120-room hotel.
The concept plan is scheduled to
go before the planning board during
a public hearing Oct. 24.
ALEX AND ANI: Alex and Ani
LLC, a jewelry store chain based in
Rhode Island, has leased 1,055 square
feet at 1505 Pearl St., Unit 104, for a
retail location.
The owner of the space is 1505
Commercial LLC. Way Cool Properties’ John Koval, a partner in 1505
Commercial, represented the landlord, while Joe Pierik with Carpionato
Group represented the tenant in the
deal.
Alex and Ani will occupy the space
vacated by Atlas Purveyors coffee
shop in July. Koval said he expects
Alex and Ani to open by late fall or
early winter.
The deal follows another across
town for Koval, who represented
Steel Yards LLC in the leasing of
2,300 square feet of space at 2500
30th St., to Fresh Thymes Eatery
LLC, a take-out marketplace and café
that opened in late August.
BROOMFIELD
NORTH PARK SCHOOL: New
projects are starting to roll in for
McWhinney Real Estate Services Inc.,
at its 935-acre North Park development in northeast Broomfield.
Jay Hardy, McWhinney’s general
manager for North Park, said Prospect
Ridge Academy, a charter school that
opened last year at 2555 Preble Creek
Parkway with classes for kindergarten
through eighth grade, is slated to
break ground on a high school Nov. 1.
The news came a little more than
a week after satellite imaging company DigitalGlobe Inc. (NYSE: DGI)

for the 49,000-square-foot, $8 million project.
XETAWAVE MOVING: Wireless
technology provider XetaWave LLC
plans to relocate from Boulder to
Broomfield and bring the manufacturing of its radios in house by the end
of the year, thanks in part to a $7 million investment from several sources.
XetaWave, whose 24 employees
are based in a 4,000-square-foot
space at 1668 Valtec Drive, is moving into a 24,000-square-foot space at
100 Technology Drive in Broomfield’s
Interlocken area.
XetaWave produces radios that
transmit data from field operations
for industries such as oil and gas, wind
energy and the military.

GUNBARREL
POLAR EXPANSION: Product
Architects Inc., makers of Polar Bot-
tle insulated sport water bottles, is
doubling its space with a move to
Gunbarrel.
The company has leased 32,000
square feet of space at 4601 Nautilus
Court., in the Twin Lakes area off
63rd Street. President and co-founder
Judy Amabile said in an email that the
company intends to be moved in by
the end of December.
Product Architects has 15,000
square feet at 5637 Arapahoe Ave.
The company employs 47 full-time
employees in addition to about a
dozen temporary employees.
“We’ve run out of space here,”
company spokeswoman Adeline Bash
said. “I think it’s safe to say based on
the sales we had last year we’re hoping
for substantial growth.”
T he privately-held company

ROGERS LAND SELLS: Boulder
developer Jim Chanin announced
that Second Avenue Superior Properties LLC has purchased a 12.9-acre
piece of land in Superior for $1.1
million from the estate of the late
Charlene Flo Rogers.
The plan for the property is a residential development, the makeup
and timeline of which are still up in
the air.
Second Avenue Superior Properties is the entity formed by Chanin
and an undisclosed California-based
capital group to buy and develop the
parcel, which includes a one-story
farmhouse and outbuildings. Chanin,
of Chanin Development, will serve
as acting manager and developer for
the project.
The land, at 300 Second Ave.,
sits just west of McCaslin Boulevard, across from the Superior Town
Center development, which received
approval from the Superior Trustees
this summer. Chanin said he’s waiting to also see what might mesh well
densitywise with what is planned at

work set up an aquaponics system in
his basement, and when I saw it, I was
stunned at the plant growth from fish
wastewater in an aquarium.”
Soon after realizing that the
process was more doable than she
thought, Sylvia left AeroGrow to
start Aquaponic Source and make
the technique available to home and
school gardeners. She focuses on a
consumer market rather than a commercial market.
Aquaponics is thought to date back
to the Aztec Indians in approximately
1000 A.D. One of the first large scale
commercial operations was established in the mid-1980s, and homebased aquaponics systems took hold
in the early 1990s.
In 2011, Sylvia published “Aquaponic Gardening: A Step-By-Step Guide to
Raising Vegetables and Fish Together.”
The book has sold 40,000 copies.
She also runs an aquaponics forum
through the company website. Even
though the aquaponic industry is small,
maybe 15,000 people in North America and another 15,000 in Australia,
according to Sylvia, the forum is read
by about 11,000.
Aquaponic gardening can be set up
in an aquarium as small as 10 gallons
but bigger tanks tend to be more stable.
Ninety to 100 gallons is a good size to
be able to grow edible fish to plate size.
For every pound of fish, five to 10
gallons of water is needed. Considering that an average amount of fish
consumed per year is 37 pounds, a
200-gallon tank will fit the bill.
To make sure the fish get adequate
filtered water, plant grow beds need to
be a one-to-one ratio of fish tank volume to grow bed volume in gallons.
Aquaponic Source sells systems,
plumbing kits, accessories, live fish
and worms. It will soon offer classes
as well.
“The cost to set up a system depends
on whether someone builds their own
or gets a turn-key system delivered,”
Sylvia said. “It can be as cheap as $100
if you use recycled material.”
Aquaponic systems from the store
run from $700 to $6,000, depending
on the size and number of grow beds
purchased.
Maintenance for systems once
they’re set up correctly is low. Basically
it involves cleaning the bottom of the
pump once a week and feeding the fish.
The Bernsteins self-funded the
business with about $70,000, has no
investors, no debt and has been profitable since the beginning.
Boot-strapping Aquaponic Source
meant keeping it in the couple’s basement for three and one-half years.
“Our customers give us a hard time
because we use recycled newspapers
to wrap products, and any box that
comes in goes out again in another
use,” Sylvia laughed.
In addition to Sylvia and Alan,
Aquaponic Source runs with a staff
of seven.

Will federal
dollars flow
fast enough?
C
olorado citizens, governments and businesses alike
have answered the call to
provide relief for the devastating
floods that struck the Front Range in
the past two weeks.
The Boulder County Business
Report in this edition chronicles
many business-related donations and
other acts of charity. State and local
governments have acted quickly and
efficiently to deal with enormous
challenges. The Colorado National
Guard rescued thousands of stranded
citizens.
The federal government, too, has
responded admirably, with funds
for infrastructure, businesses and
individuals. In particular, we’ve been
impressed by the response of the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
EDITORIAL
But, we hesitate to admit, the
constant bickering and dysfunction
in Washington, D.C., has us wondering how effective and comprehensive
the overall federal response will be.
Thus far, the U.S. Department of
Transportation has committed $35
million for road repair, on top of the
$100 million allocated through the
state’s emergency road-repair fund.
(That amount taps out the state
emergency road dollars.)
Members of the Colorado congressional delegation are lobbying for
the Federal Highway Administration
to raise its $100 million funding
limit on emergency road relief to
$500 million.
We’re encouraged by Vice President Joe Biden’s recent promise
– delivered while touring flooddamaged counties with Gov. John
Hickenlooper – that any potential
government shutdown will not
affect delivery of disaster funds. But
we have to wonder, given the uncertainty surrounding the federal budget, whether enough resources will
be forthcoming, and how long it will
take for them to arrive.
We trust that our state and congressional leaders will work hard to
keep the dollars flowing.

Smaller business

wait-and-see stance
E
arly this year, the Broomfield
Economic Development Corp.
changed its name to the Northwest Denver Economic Development
Partnership and launched a plan to
reorganize and adopt a regional strategy with the slogan “One Region,
One Voice.”
The nonprofit organization’s role
in Broomfield had changed significantly over the past three years, as
the city government – once the
BEDC’s primary financial supporter
– created its own economic development department and cut funding to
the organization.
In February, with the blessing of
the governor’s office, the new organization’s board of directors mapped out
a plan to serve the region as a one-stop
shop for site selectors and developers
from throughout the world, working
in concert with, not against, the dozen
or so economic development groups
already serving the area.
Getting everyone on board, in
some instances, could require kid
gloves.

the Northwest Denver EDP’s president and chief executive.” He said
the organization provides an ideal

other key stakeholders to drive, not

Realtors, bankers
and other private
companies that can prosper through
development. Backers include Wells
Fargo, Jones Lang LaSalle, Xcel
Energy, HunterDouglas, McWhinney and CB Richard Ellis. Right
now, at least 20 companies are
signed on.
Dave Marusiak of Wells Fargo,
chairman of the group, said the
organization has been built on the
principle of “One Region, One Voice.
This is a principle shared by the most
economically competitive and successful regions in the world,” he said.
Kosdrosky said site selectors
would rather deal with one or two
organizations than a dozen smaller
ones when exploring a region.
The region is loosely defined as
from north of Interstate 70 to Larimer County, and west from I-25
to the foothills. That area includes
Boulder, Broomfield, and portions of
Adams and Jefferson counties, and
already is served by a lot of smaller
economic development groups. The
most active are the Longmont Area
Economic Council and the Boulder
Economic Council.
How they will work together is
the big question. Some leaders of the
larger groups are noncommittal so
far but are curious to hear more. Clif
Harald, executive director of the
Boulder Economic Council, is waiting to see how this shakes out.
“I’d like to see if there is going to
be a duplication of services with the
Metro Denver Economic Development Corp.,” said Harald, who added
that that organization already feeds
leads for prospects to the smaller economic development groups.
Wendi Nafziger, interim president
of the Longmont Area Economic
Council, also is taking a wait-andsee approach.
“We’ll see what the plan is,” she
said, “but we value and protect the
data we collect on inventories of
properties.”

Boulder’s $1.2 billion municipalization gamble
T
he city of Boulder may be
playing pretty fast and loose
with its $214 million “debt
limit” claim by asking voters to
approve the city’s municipalization
ballot issue 2E.
Why? Because nowhere in that
ballot language does the city provide
voters with complete or accurate
information about the total amount
of debt required to fulfill a muni
takeover from Xcel Energy.
That $214 million figure is not a
“debt limit” that it claims to be. It’s
just the purchase price that would
allow the city to condemn a bunch
of old wires, utility poles, and transformers in and outside the city from
Xcel Energy.
According to the city’s own calculations, somewhat difficult to discover in the volumes of puffery the city
has issued for public consumption,
$214 million is just the beginning of
how much debt Boulder citizens will
be responsible for repaying.
In other documents the city
reveals it needs a $4.9 million shortterm loan to get the muni scheme up
and running. But that’s pretty small
change because the city says it also
needs an additional $90.4 million:
“…as a one-time cost to fund the
remaining capital costs necessary to
start the utility, including the first
two years of capital improvements
and a fund for 6 months of operating
reserves.”
That $214 million number
Boulder voters may think will create a municipal
electric utility doesn’t come
close to doing
so although
voters may be
led to believe it
does because of
incomplete inforGUEST OPINION mation contained
in the ballot
Bob Greenlee
language. The
actual cost will exceed $300 million.
But wait! There’s even more!
In future years, the city says it
will need to fund an additional
$101.4 million by initiating four
separate bond issues over an 18-year
period in order for the new muni
to pay for “…upgrades to aging
infrastructure …(and) to replace or
upgrade a large portion of the distribution and transmission system.”.
Taken together, the actual
amount of capital that’s required
to begin and operate Boulder’s own
electric utility, and make necessary
upgrades and system improvements,
exceeds $412.7 million. That’s nearly $200 million more than the “debt
limit” being claimed in ballot issue
2E voters are being asked to approve
this November.
Not only is the $214 million
“debt-limit” claim deceptive, it
doesn’t come close to providing a
full picture of things because the
city never includes the cost of borrowing those millions of dollars.
The only way Boulder can
become a municipal utility is to sell
bonds as it does for other community capital costs. The city says it has
a AAA bond rating, and they do for
the local water utility, but they can’t
make a claim that any new bonding
for the muni will attain such a positive rating because they have no history of operating one.
In fact, in another document, the
city says it hopes the new muni debt
might achieve an A or BBB bond
rating. Lower rated bonds are more
risky as well as being more expensive, and the city has no idea how
much it will ultimately need to pay
in interest to bondholders.
The city makes a “best guess” for
the initial $214 million bonds, claiming it will carry a 6.5 percent interest
rate for 30 years. The additional $90.4
million will carry an estimated interest rate of 5.5 percent, as will those
four additional bonds. But that’s just a
guess, and interest rates may be much
higher in future years. So the actual
amount of interest to be paid over the
various 30-year bonding periods is
entirely unknown.
Taking the city’s own calculations and forecasts into account the
amount of capital borrowed plus
interest and other costs comes to
well over $1.2 billion! If the city’s
estimate of acquisition or stranded
costs is too low, those additional
borrowed funds might result in total
indebtedness of $1.5 billion or more.
Boulder’s desire to create its own
municipal utility is an expensive and
a highly risky proposition. Unfortunately, the city hasn’t been entirely
forthcoming in providing voters with
complete information concerning all
the costs. If voters believe the total
amount required for creating its own
electric utility is limited to just $214
million, as ballot issue 2E suggests,
they are being entirely misinformed
and even misled.
Creating a municipal utility
may turn out to be a good idea. It
could also turn out to be a huge and
expensive mistake as no one can
accurately predict the future.

Boulder’s city council and served one
