Independence project breaks ground More than 900 homes are planned when community reaches build-out BY TABATHA STEWART SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA
More than 100 local officials and community members gathered Aug. 24 for the groundbreaking ceremony for the new Independence community, which is being touted as Colorado’s largest residential conservation community by its developers, Craft Companies. “As the first community of its kind in Colorado, we hope it will serve as a model for sustainable development moving forward, and that all Elbert county residents will directly benefit from our sustainable, low-impact development practices, in addition to the open space and diverse mix of home types,” said Tim Craft, company principal. Homes could be available for purchase as early as summer of 2019, but a complete build-out of the project, which will include more than 900 single-family homes, might take up to 10 years to complete. Independence will include parks, a site for a school and more than 433 acres of open space that will be “preserved in a contiguous natural state to improve wildlife habitat, maintain the rural environment of the county and promote resident wellness,” according to Craft.

Equine infectious anemia confirmed in Colorado Sites in Douglas, Arapahoe, Adams counties among those on hold until horses test negative for disease STAFF REPORT
The Colorado Department of Agriculture received presumptive positive equine infectious anemia test results Aug. 24 from the Rocky Mountain Regional Animal Health Laboratory. An additional confirmatory test was completed Aug. 28. According to a news release from the Colorado Livestock Association, the horse arrived at a Weld County site from another state July 18. The horse did not have a negative EIA test or Certificate of Veterinary Inspection before entering the state, the release said. The Colorado Department of Agriculture is working to confirm the traceback to the state of origin. The Colorado State Veterinarian’s Office has determined, with the help of records from the Brands Division and Rocky Mountain Regional Animal Health Laboratory, that approximately 230-250 horses had been on the premises during the same time as the index positive animal. Approximately 100 of these horses were sent to 20 other states across the country and those state veterinarians
are taking steps to locate, quarantine, and re-test those horses, the news release said. CDA is working to find approximately 130-150 horses that went to different premises across Colorado. The department has limited contact information for many of the people that purchased these horses. If you believe you may have purchased horses from the index premises, contact the department office at 303-869-9130. As of Sept. 7, the equine infectious anemia incident in Colorado has
the last known date of exposure to the positive horse. The department is monitoring and working to ensure compliance with the quarantine of the index premises and the hold orders issued for premises with exposed horses, according to the news release. The department has the legal authority to pursue civil fines against those who violate quarantine, hold orders or animal health requirement rules. State laws and regulations limit what details the department can share regarding individual operations under investigation, quarantine, or hold orders. Equine infectious anemia is a viral disease spread by large biting insects (such as horse flies and deer flies), inappropriate use of needles, or other equipment used between susceptible equine animals such as horses, mules and donkeys.

Attorney general candidates clash over credentials Debate in Grand Junction also featured candidates for treasurer, secretary of state ASSOCIATED PRESS
Colorado’s major party candidates for attorney general engaged in their first debate over their respective credentials in their race to succeed Republican Cynthia Coffman. The Grand Junction Daily Sentinel reports that Republican George Brauchler and Democrat Phil Weiser challenged each other’s experience during the Sept. 8 debate sponsored by Club 20, an association of counties in western Colorado. Brauchler is the 18th Judicial District attorney widely known for prosecuting Aurora theater shooter James Holmes. Weiser is a former University of Colorado law school dean who served as a deputy attorney general under President Barack Obama. He also clerked for U.S. Supreme Court Justices Byron White and Ruth Bader Ginsburg and served in the Justice Department under President Bill Clinton.
“My career has been one of service, starting in the Supreme Court, working in the Justice Department under two presidents,’’ Weiser said at the debate in Grand Junction. Weiser “The attorney general is the protector of Colorado ... and I have spent my entire life as a defender, a protector,’’ Brauchler countered. “A defense attorney, a prosecutor, I’ve been a civil plaintiffs lawyer, a civil defense lawyer, I’ve been a military prosecutor and a military defense lawyer. I have tried cases at every single level, municipal, state, federal and military.’’ Coffman, who was elected in 2014, mounted an unsuccessful bid for her party’s gubernatorial nomination this year. Candidates for state treasurer and secretary of state as well as Colorado’s expansive 3rd Congressional District also debated in Grand Junction. Brian Watson, CEO of an investment firm and the Republican treasurer candidate, questioned whether Democratic state Rep. Dave Young had the business experience needed for the position. “The role of the treasurer of Colorado is different than the founder and CEO of a company,’’ Watson
said. “You have to understand that what goes up comes down, and somebody like you who has never invested your own capital alongside other people to try to make return, you may Brauchler not understand the risk and reward.’’ Young cited his work as a member of the legislature’s powerful Joint Budget Committee. “I have an actual fiduciary responsibility to the state, like
the treasurer’s office, so I actually have that experience,’’ he said. Democrat Jena Griswold, an attorney seeking to unseat Republican Secretary of State Wayne Williams, declared that the office should do a better job of helping businesses register. “Excellent suggestion,’’ Williams responded. “We just did it.’’ Williams and the office of Democratic Gov. John Hickenlooper created a website this year to guide entrepreneurs through each step of the business registration process.

Elizabeth teacher chosen for Legacies of WWI program Manser Kierstead to participate in webinars, discussions with educators from around the world STAFF REPORT
A teacher at Elizabeth High School is one of 114 teachers selected for a National History Day program, Legacies of World War I, a partnership between the U.S. World War I Centennial Commission and National History Day. Manser Kierstead will participate in webinars and discussions while learning about World War I with teachers from around the world. As one of the selected teachers, Kierstead receives free tuition, graduate credits and materials for the online program. Each of the 57 National History Day affiliates could choose two teachers for this honor and the National History Day program in Colorado selected Kierstead. “As part of the commemoration of the centennial of The Great War, National History Day is proud to partner with the U.S. World War I Centennial Commission to help teachers delve into the history of this global event,” National History Day Executive Director Dr. Cathy Gorn said in a news release. “Kierstead will learn about
specific aspects of the war he can take back to the classroom to ensure this piece of global history is not forgotten.” This program is part of an educational partnership with the WWI Commission, the Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History, National History Day, and the National World War I Museum and Memorial. This new educational partnership will educate both teachers and school students about World War I through a series of more than 100 teaching events nationwide. More information about the U.S. World War I Centennial Commission can be found at www.ww1cc.org. National History Day is a nonprofit organization based in College Park that seeks to improve the teaching and learning of history. The National History Day Contest was established in 1974 and engages more than half a million students in conducting original research on historical topics of interest. Students present their research as a documentary, exhibit, paper, performance or website. Projects compete first at the local and affiliate levels, where the top entries are invited to the National Contest at the University of Maryland at College Park. NHD is sponsored in part by History, the National Endowment for the Humanities, the National Park Service, and Southwest Airlines. For more information, go to nhd.org.

6th Congressional District a national nail-biter Coffman faces Democratic challenger Crow in battleground BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
In a wide slice of the Denver suburbs — including a city where one in five people is foreign-born — Democrats have not been able to edge out Republican U.S. Rep. Mike Coffman, who might as well be made of Teflon, according to political pundits. Public-school students speak more than 160 languages in the district’s anchor, Aurora, a place where voters strongly favor Coffman Democrats. In conventional political wisdom, the 6th Congressional District should have flipped blue long ago — the question on the national radar is if 2018 is the year it finally will. Democratic chalCrow lenger Jason Crow, in an election season over which Republican President Donald Trump looms large, hopes so. But analysts say Coffman has a strong foothold even in the more diverse parts of his district. “Coffman’s political obituary has been written a number of times,” said Seth Masket, a political science professor at the University of Denver. But Coffman, a military veteran who grew up in the heart of Aurora, has persisted against well-known Democratic challengers. He won the seat in 2008 and has been re-elected four times. “I know the district,” said Coffman, rattling off a list of communities that include vegetable farmers and people of Indian descent focused on the U.S.’s high-tech visa program. “I certainly understand the diversity of the district.” In addition to Aurora, the district includes south suburbs like Centennial, Littleton and Highlands Ranch, which are strongly Republican, and to the north, Brighton and part of Thornton, which are part of decidedly blue Adams County. Aurora accounts for about 44 percent of the district’s roughly 815,000 people. One of Crow’s main jabs is to paint Coffman as being in lockstep with Trump and out of touch with the people of the district. “Talk is cheap,” Crow said. “People want someone more than who’s going to show up for the photo op.” It’s a charge the congressman’s campaign vehemently denies. Whether that point resonates — and how much of a role voters’ feelings about Trump can stoke a “blue
wave” — may be part of the puzzle of predicting victory in this nationally watched district. As goes CD6 ... Which way the district leans will have implications that ring out far beyond Colorado, one veteran pundit said. “If Coffman is defeated, it will definitely mean that the Democrats are going to take the U.S. House,” said Dick Wadhams, political strategist and former chair of the Colorado Republican Party. “If he survives, it means Republicans have a fighting chance to keep the House.” In pushing a candidate who has never run for public office before, Democrats are playing to a broader strategy, Masket said. Crow, a former Army Ranger, served in Afghanistan and Iraq. “They’ve clearly decided if they’re going to appeal to moderates in this district, they should try someone different,” Masket said. “The idea of someone outside of politics with a military background, that seems to be a formula Democrats have been drawing on a lot this year” across the country. The past two Democrats who ran against Coffman were Andrew Romanoff in 2014 and Morgan Carroll in 2016, both of whom were established politicians after having served in the state Legislature. Romanoff served as state House speaker and Carroll as state Senate president. Why such a toss-up? In what’s often referred to as a “purple state,” the district has attracted national attention. The Cook Political Report, a prominent, nonpartisan newsletter that analyzes elections, lists the district as one of 30 toss-ups in the country — and the only one in Colorado. But don’t count Coffman out, pundits say. In a district where President Barack Obama won by 5 points in 2012, and Hillary Clinton beat Trump by 9 points, Coffman still won his races in both elections — in 2016, by 8 points. Many voted for Clinton while also voting for Coffman, Wadhams said. The 6th District once comprised only a portion of Aurora and was mainly made up of GOP strongholds, encompassing almost the entire south metro area, including Castle Rock on the south end and Elbert County to the east. But after a redrawing of the lines in 2011, the district includes Aurora and stretches north all the way to parts of Adams County. Gone from the district are Elbert County and Douglas County, except for Highlands Ranch. Coffman didn’t wait to get with the times. “He’s got a sort of flexibility to him,” Masket said. “He got elected to a conservative district that changed its stripes considerably after redistricting.” SEE CONGRESS, P8

According to Craft, it will provide much-needed housing in Elbert county, including for those who work in the community, such as teachers and first responders. “Obviously the addition of any new housing is good for those individuals. The clustered design of this project, as an element of conservation community development, reduces the cost of infrastructure, as well as the ongoing maintenance cost of the roads, sidewalks and trails, thus providing for more attainability and less maintenance than traditionally available in Elbert County,” said Craft. As a conservation community, Independence will treat and recycle water, curved streets will preserve community views and reduce vehicle speeds, and neighborhood pocket parks are
Homes in the Independence community will be available as early as summer of 2019. The 1,011 acres of undeveloped land, shown here, will be home to 920 single-family homes. MARK WOOLCOTT designed to promote health and wellness within the community. Craft has projected that the project will generate approximately 4,000 local jobs, including carpenters, hydrologists and solar panel experts. “We have been eagerly anticipating today’s groundbreaking celebration since the Independence community was unanimously approved by the
three-member board of Elbert County commissioners,” said Craft. While more than 100 people attended the groundbreaking, hundreds of other residents in the county have cried foul over the development, and planning and commissioner meetings were filled to capacity with concerned citizens asking commissioners to deny the approval of Independence. Citizens cited concerns over water, land values, and the loss of a rural feel in the county. Residents have taken to social media, including the Elbert County Citizens Facebook page, to organize against county commissioners to fight proposed future large developments. Susan Shick has been vocal with the commissioners regarding concerns about the sizable development, including traffic, water usage and light and noise pollution. “I object in principal to the proliferation of mega-sized developments that infringe on the rural characteristics of the county that drew the majority of its current residents to the area,” said Shick. She also expressed concern about the six special districts that will be used by Independence.
Carla Hagood said she is disappointed and frustrated with the approval of Independence, and fears lack of communication between county officials and residents will result in uncontrolled growth in the county that won’t be beneficial. “We have to find where the balance is,” sid Hagood. “It’s sad. We need to fix our problem with communication with the local government.” Commissioner Chris Richardson said the Independence development is being built on land that was approved for this type of development more than 10 years ago. “This well-designed and thoughtful project, now being built on land initially approved for development over a decade ago, helps meet the state projections for population growth in our county in the upcoming years,” said Richardson. “The offsite improvements to County Road 158 and the extension of Delbert Road south of Singing Hills will help lower the impacts of traffic for current residents and provides better emergency response in this growing area of the county.”
Old latex paint? Don’t flip out! Dry it out! Have you been stockpiling cans of latex paint, waiting for the next Douglas County Household Chemical Roundup? Good news – latex paint is water-based and safe to throw away, if prepared properly. If the paint is completely dry, simply remove the lid and throw the can away. If there is still wet paint in the can, mix in some dirt or cat litter to fully absorb it. Once it is dry, throw it away. Save yourself a trip to the Roundup (and the $25 contribution) if you have water-based paint. Remember, this only applies to water-based latex paint, and NO paint can be dumped in the gutter or thrown in the trash wet.

Veterans facing off for district seat BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Facing off against Rep. Mike Coffman, a son of Aurora and a military veteran, is lawyer and veteran Jason Crow, who moved to the city in 2017. Crow reminds those who might call the move opportunistic that he’s lived in the same community for about a decade — just on the other side of the Denver border in the Stapleton neighborhood, which extends over the line to Aurora. Crow says he has a “long history” of getting things done for that part of town. “One of the top things I’ve worked on since leaving the service is working on the VA hospital and getting funding for that,” said Crow, who said he co-chaired the Fitzsimmons Oversight Committee and pushed to have a standalone hospital built. How competitive? Pundits view Coffman as more vulnerable than in past years, but not dead in the water. “My thought is, it’s like I’m from Missouri: I’m tired of Democrats telling me they’re going to win it,” Sondermann said. “It’s time to start showing me.” But 2018 serves up the toughest backdrop Coffman has faced, given backlash against Trump, Sondermann said. As seen in Colorado’s primary
That committee was organized by the United Veterans Committee of Colorado, a nonprofit coalition of veterans-service organizations. Coffman grew up just blocks from where the new hospital sits, in neighborhoods near East Colfax Avenue and Interstate 225. His family at one time lived on the thenFitzsimons Army facility, in the area where the Anschutz Medical Campus and the Rocky Mountain Regional Veterans Affairs Medical Center — the new hospital — now sit. His father was a solider, and Coffman served in the Army and Marines. A member of House Committee on Veterans’ Affairs, Coffman put pressure on the VA’s process in building the facility that ended up far behind schedule and over budget. But another standout issue Coffman sees in that area is housing
costs, a concern to varying degrees throughout Congressional District 6. “I’ve certainly tried to work on it from a federal perspective,” Coffman said, adding he tried to make it easier for first-time homebuyers to save for down payments. Crow’s website says he’d focus on working with government resources and the private sector to create new affordable housing, in general terms. The candidates are sure to conflict on issues like abortion and gun regulations, too. The race is regarded as a toss-up in Colorado, often called a “purple” state. Dick Wadhams, a Republican strategist, said it’s a tougher battle than last election season, but pointed to Coffman’s resiliency in the district. “I’m not sure unbeatable is the word — I think he’s formidable,” Wadhams said.
fense Department funding. FiveThirtyEight’s tracker does include more salient votes, like one to penalize states and localities that have so-called “sanctuary” immigration laws, for which Coffman voted. Tyler Sandberg, Coffman’s campaign manager, said Coffman has broken with Trump on issues like health care and sanctioning Russia. Both national issues, like immigration and gun control, and local issues like housing costs will likely play a role in the race, Wadhams said. Crow wants to cast it as a test of leadership and what he says is Coffman’s “broken promise” to stand up to Trump — a stance Coffman took in a 2016 ad. “In the Army, I served with folks from every race, every religion” and urban and On the issues areas, Crow Seth Masket, rural Where said. “It didn’t Coffman has political science professor, matter where we adjusted, Crow, came from — we University of Denver focused on the misa lawyer who spoke at the sion and we got it 2012 Demodone.” He said he cratic National could accomplish Convention, goals better than a seeks to repaint him as a hardline con- “career politician.” servative tied closely to Trump, rather Coffman said he wasn’t sure what isthan his constituents. sue would arise as most important in “There’s a very big difference the race because Crow’s campaign has between the Mike Coffman they see … been about “linking me to President and the Coffman that goes to D.C. and Trump.” votes with Donald Trump 96 percent” “It’s more about politics for him,” of the time, Crow said.

Despite Colorado’s tilt as a “lightblue state in a deep-blue year,” as Sondermann put it, Wadhams would bet on Coffman to win because of his entrenchment in diverse communities. If he lost, “it would be less about Coffman and more about a national blue wave,” Wadhams said. He added: “What we didn’t have two years ago is a Republican president whose approval ratings are upside-down in Colorado.”

More than 2,300 people gathered the morning of Tuesday, Sept. 11 to “never forget.” The participants of the 2018 Colorado 9/11 Memorial Stair Climb paid tribute to the 343 New York City firefighters and almost 3,000 Americans who died on 9/11 by climbing the equivalent of the 110 stories of the World Trade Center. “It’s all about keeping our promise we made to never forget,” said Shawn Duncan, coordinator of the Colorado climb and lieutenant at West Metro Fire. “That’s why we do this every year.” In the 10th year of the climb at Red Rocks Amphitheatre, over 45 fire departments from 25 states and Canada were joined by community members. Each climber wore a badge of one of the firefighters killed on 9/11. The Phoenix Fire Department was one that sent representation to join the climb. Sam Jones, who was born and raised in Colorado and attended Warren Tech, was

State’s suicide rate is high, but addressable, experts say Colorado’s Office of Suicide Prevention works to build resources, spur action
REACHING OUT If you or someone you know is experiencing suicidal thoughts or a mental health crisis, there are resources available.
BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Suicide in Colorado is often talked about in terms of statistics — the state is consistently in the top 10 in the country for suicide deaths. But to Sarah Brummett, the director of the state Office of Suicide Prevention, the real story is not in numbers, but in working to impact the lives of the individual people struggling with suicidal thoughts. “It’s about so much more than prevention and intervention,” Brummett said. “That’s like waiting for someone to show up in the emergency room with a heart attack, rather than talking about the lifestyle changes to prevent heart disease. We’ve got to talk about community health and wellness, about seeing suicide as part of a web of issues.” Brummett leads an office at the forefront of coordinating resources to address the state’s stubbornly high suicide rate, and during September — National Suicide Prevention Month — she works to communicate the office’s efforts. The statistics compiled by her office are disquieting: 1,175 Coloradans died

Visit the state Office of Suicide Prevention’s website Man Therapy for resources geared toward men in crisis at mantherapy.org. by suicide in 2017, the highest number ever, and about twice as many as died in car wrecks. Colorado’s suicide rate was at 20.9 per 100,000 in 2017, compared to a national rate of 13.4 per 100,000. Digging down further reveals other disturbing trends: Suicide is the leading cause of death among youths and young adults ages 10 to 24, and the seventh-leading cause of death for all Coloradans. There are many ways to parse the statistics: Men are far more likely to

die by suicide than women. Nearly 90 percent of suicide victims are under the influence of one or more drugs at the time of death. Certain trades have higher rates of suicide, including construction workers and emergency first responders.
‘For every one suicide, there are hundreds who have been there and moved past it. There is recovery happening every day. The stories of hope and resilience aren’t those getting told, but those are the ones we need to hear.’
Resilience and recovery Looking at the death rates, however, paints a poor picture of those who experience suicidal ideation, Brummett said. “For every one suicide, there are hundreds who have been there and moved past it,” Brummett said. “There is recovery happening every day. The stories of hope and resilience aren’t those getting told, but those are the ones we need to hear.” Creating more of those stories is the goal of the Zero Suicide Model, a program that seeks to spread suicide prevention and intervention training throughout a person’s support network, said Linda Newell, a former state senator who authored legislation that implemented the program. “We were finding that there were missed opportunities for intervention,” said Littleton resident Newell. “A quarter of the people who complete suicide end up in front of their primary care doctor within a month before they do it, but there was no talk about suicide. The myth that talking about it will encourage someone to do it doesn’t hold true — just the opposite.” The program holds Zero Suicide Academies, building the skills of doctors, first responders, counselors, therapists and faith leaders to learn how to broach the subject with people, and how to respond and steer them to resources.
won’t get a second chance to move into that period of recovery.”
Men and guns Other programs developed or overseen by the Office of Suicide Prevention work to target specific aspects of the state suicide rate. Nearly four times more men die by suicide than women, for instance, spurring the creation of Man Therapy, a website geared toward reaching men in crisis. “That higher rate has a lot of causes,” Brummett said. “It’s about the pressures on a man — what it means to be masculine. Men are less likely to seek out and receive any type of mental health service. We have to meet them where they are rather than waiting on them to knock on the door of mental health services.” Other initiatives address methods of suicide. The Colorado Gun Shop Project, for example, seeks to engage what Brummett called “the firearm community” to spread prevention tactics — mainly encouraging friends and family to remove access to guns from people who are suicidal. The program, which began in New Hampshire, addresses the fact that guns are the most common method of suicide in Colorado, and that nearly 80 percent of gun deaths in the state are suicides. “Owning a firearm doesn’t make you suicidal,” Brummett said. “But if you have access to a gun in a time of crisis, you’re more likely to die. You
Finding answers to why Why does Colorado have such a high rate of suicide, and why, in the face of a slew of comprehensive efforts aimed at addressing suicide, don’t the numbers come down? The answers are complex, Brummett said. “We have a fierce, independent spirit in the West,” Brummett said. “It’s fantastic for blazing trails and pushing the limits, but it can be troublesome when we need help. We’ve also got a lot of rural areas, which can lead to isolation from neighbors and mental health care. Also, quite frankly, we have higher rates of gun ownership.” As far as bringing down the numbers, Brummett said she’d love to be able to implement the office’s programs universally across the state, as opposed to a piecemeal fashion limited by funds and resources. Looking ahead, Brummett said she hopes to keep working on more of those connections to other areas of community health and wellness. “Drug abuse,” Brummett said. “Bullying prevention. Child maltreatment prevention. Economic stability. Addressing sexual and domestic violence. Suicide doesn’t happen in a vacuum.” “It’s not an easy topic to talk about, but we’re hoping to give people a roadmap to recovery.”

To help reduce unwanted taxable investment income, consider meeting with your financial adviser for tax loss harvesting and to structure your investments to be tax-efficient. The long-term capital gain and the qualified dividend tax was indexed up slightly but in essence remained the same as 2017. Therefore, if you would have been in a 15 percent tax bracket in 2018 (even though there is not a 15 percent bracket this year) then your long-term capital gains and qualified dividend tax is capped at zero, or 15 percent for higher brackets. It is important to monitor your tax withholding on your paychecks this year. New withholding tables for employers appear to be shy of the actual tax liability. If you noticed a larger take-home pay starting in February, check with your tax accountant to confirm if you need to increase your withholding for the remainder of the year. One last major change: The Child Care Credit actually improved for people in higher tax brackets. Parents can now take a credit up to $2,000 if their joint income is under $400,000 or a single parent with income under $200,000. These tax law changes are important to review as the goal is to keep more of your hard-earned dollars working for you. Take advantage of every deduction you are eligible for and make estimated tax payments on time. Then you won’t have to pay any more than necessary.

“There is just one moon and one golden sun, and a smile means friendship to everyone, though the mountains divide, and the oceans are wide, it’s a small world after all.” When Walt Disney created Disney World there was no internet, there was limited technology, and travel was a bit harder than it is today, assuming you do not take the security system and lines into account at any airport these days. And he saw it as a small world then and it is indeed an even smaller world today. The person who meets someone they haven’t seen in 38 years because they connected on Facebook.

The ability to Facetime or video call any of our family, friends, or customers anywhere on the planet used to be something that we would see in science fiction and now it is an everyday occurrence. It’s such a small world isn’t it? It’s a small world yet a giant world with enormous opportunities everywhere. Somehow, some of us have developed a fear of that great big world out there. We have developed a fear of other people and other countries. We have become suspicious and have started looking and waiting for the bad things to happen. The fact is, most of what we fear and worry about has little merit. The world is filled with much more opportunity, adventure, and amazing experiences than anything worth worrying about or holding us back from enjoying this great big world, and from finding opportunities to go places and experience things we once only dreamed of.

When you think about this small world with huge opportunities, listen to the song by Jana Stanfield, “All the Good.” In her song she sings, “I can’t do all the good that the world needs, but the world needs all the good I can do.” Huge opportunities in a small world, in a small country, in a small state, in a small town, and all getting smaller by the day. How about you? Have you had some small world experiences yourself ? Are you experiencing the opportunities the world has to offer? As always, I would love to hear your story at gotonorton@ gmail.com, and when we can experience and enjoy the small world and the enormous opportunities waiting for us, it really will be a better than good week.

Physician assistant program gets rolling at Rocky Vista 33 students enroll as inaugural class in program BY NICK PUCKETT NPUCKETT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Rocky Vista University announced the enrollment of its inaugural class for its physician assistant program Sept. 12. The class of 33 students will undergo a 27-month program to work toward a degree of Master of Physician Assistant Studies. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, physician assistant is one of the fastest-growing healthcare jobs in the United States. “Based on a competency-based medical education model, the program faculty has designed an innovative curriculum that will produce clinically competent compassionate and collaborative physician assistants,” said a statement from the university. According to the statement, students will begin supervised clinical practice experience and clinical seminars after
two semesters of learning the foundational concepts. “We are fortunate to have an experienced faculty, whose vision for the curriculum is not only highly innovative, but has the potential to lead other programs in the move toward competency-based medical education,” said Cathy Ruff, the program director. Physicians assistants practice medicine on teams with physicians, surgeons and other health-care workers, according to the BLS. They also examine, diagnose and treat patients. Physicians examine patients, take medical histories, prescribe medications as well as counsel patients on diet, hygiene and preventive healthcare. A doctoral or professional degree is required to become a physician, whereas PAs only require a master’s degree. “The PA program will greatly augment our team-based medical education experience, which is essential for preparing our graduates for preparing our graduates to practice in today’s health care delivery system,” said Rocky Vista President and CEO Clinton Adams.
Hospital honored for bariatrics program Parker Adventist Hospital received the first Joint Commission Certification for bariatrics in Colorado, making it the 10th hospital in the nation with the certification. The certification was awarded to Parker Adventist for its quality and approach to bariatric surgical services, including excellence in preparing patients for surgery, surgery and post-operative care. Bariatric surgery is a procedure per-
formed on the stomach or intestines to induce weight loss “The honor of receiving this certification speaks to the dedication of our staff and top quality care that we deliver at Parker Adventist Hospital,” a Parker Adventist news release says. According to the release, the program grew by 338 percent in the last four years. Deb Nation, a Parker Adventist resource nurse, mentioned how impressed she was by the patient testimonials presented at the opening conference and the rapid growth of the program.

DISTRICT COURT, WATER DIVISION 1, COLORADO AUGUST 2018 WATER RESUME PUBLICATION TO: ALL PERSONS INTERESTED IN WATER APPLICATIONS IN WATER DIV. 1
www.ColoradoCommunityMedia.com/Notices
PUBLIC NOTICES Pursuant to C.R.S. 37-92-302, you are notified that the following is a resume of all water right applications and certain amendments filed in the Office of the Water Clerk during the month of AUGUST 2018 for each County affected.
18CW3138, Sean and Judith Pavlich, 10279 Inspiration Drive, Parker, CO 80138 (James Petrock, Petrock Fendel Poznanovic, P.C., 700 17th Street, #1800, Denver, CO 80202), APPLICATION FOR CHANGE OF WATER RIGHT AND APPROVAL OF PLAN FOR AUGMENTATION, ELBERT COUNTY. Applicants are the owners of 139.7 acres of the land generally located in the S1/2 of Section 19 and the NW1/4 of Section 30, T7S, R64W, Elbert County, Colorado as described and shown on Attachment A hereto (Subject Property) and the groundwater, decreed in Case No. 07CW270, underlying the Subject Property, as evidenced by the deed attached as Attachment B including 39.5 acre-feet per year of not nontributary Upper Dawson aquifer groundwater. Proposed change: In the decree in Case No. 07CW270 (“Decree”), all of the Upper Dawson aquifer groundwater underlying the Subject Property (39.5 acre-feet per year) is decreed and is not available for use through exempt wells on the Subject Property. By this change, Applicants request that the decreed amount of Upper Dawson aquifer groundwater be reduced by up to 12 acre-feet per year for use through exempt wells on the Subject Property. Groundwater to be augmented: 15 acre-feet per year of not nontributary Upper Dawson aquifer groundwater decreed in Case No. 07CW270. Water rights to be used for augmentation: Return flows from the use of not nontributary Upper Dawson aquifer water and return flows and direct discharge of nontributary groundwater underlying the Subject Property as also decreed in Case No. 07CW270 and owned by Applicants. Statement of plan for augmentation: The Upper Dawson aquifer groundwater will be used for in-house and commercial use, agricultural irrigation, including lawn, garden, trees, hay and pasture, and use in greenhouses, light industrial, fire protection, stockwatering, storage, and replacement purposes, on the Subject Property. Applicants reserve the right to revise the annual amount to be withdrawn and proposed uses without having to amend or republish this Application. Sewage treatment for in house and commercial use will be provided by non-evaporative septic systems. Return flows associated with inhouse and commercial use will be approximately 90% of that use and return flow from irrigation use, except in greenhouses, will be approximately 15% of that use. During pumping Applicants will replace actual depletions to the affected stream system pursuant to Section 3790-137(9)(c.5), C.R.S. Applicants estimate that actual depletions occur to the Running Creek stream system. Return flows from in-house, commercial, and irrigation use will accrue to the South Platte River system via Running Creek and those return flows are sufficient to replace actual depletions while the subject groundwater is being pumped. If return flows are not sufficient to replace actual depletions in any year of pumping, the required amount of replacement will be diverted directly into Running Creek from the Upper Dawson aquifer wells, or nontributary wells if available for replacement purposes. An equal amount of nontributary groundwater as decreed in Case No. 07CW270 will be reserved to meet post-pumping augmentation requirements. Further, Applicants pray that this Court grant the application and for such other relief as seems proper in the premises. (11 pages).
