Starting next year, there won’t be any police officers in Morrison. Instead, this tiny town of 400 residents — home to the busy Red Rocks Amphitheatre and a steady stream of tourists window-shopping on Bear Creek Avenue — will contract with the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office for round-the-clock law enforcement services. The new arrangement is set to take effect on Jan.

One illustration of that impasse: The seven negotiators did not meet during this week’s three-day Colorado River Water Users Association annual conference, despite representatives from each state spending that time in the same windowless Las Vegas hotel. “All seven of us have been in this city, yet we were not able to meet,” Colorado’s negotiator, Becky Mitchell, said during a panel discussion.

After graduating from Rosmini College — many Kiwi high schools are called colleges and run adjacent to the calendar year — he traded a warm summer at the beach for a freezing cold pitch in Colorado and a head start on his college soccer career. This December, Kelly became the first University of Denver men’s soccer player to score goals in back-to-back NCAA Tournament games, something he couldn’t have foreseen during exam time.

If his mind is a supercomputer — as it has been likened to by so many bewildered NBA players, reporters and TV personalities — then a mathematical equation that he deems indecipherable may cause a “syntax error” message to appear. In a defeated locker room Thursday night, in a city with horizontal snow outside and a wind chill near zero, the brain-teaser was this: How can the Nuggets make up the gap when an opponent is shooting a way higher volume of 3-pointers than them? “I really don’t know,” Jokic said after a long pause, and then he laughed.
