Pot-club ban OK’d on first reading Fate of existing business will be decided in separate action
By Tom Munds tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia.com The Englewood City Council has taken a step toward banning marijuana consumption clubs in the city, but heard from one resident who opposed the action. The council took the first step
June 6, passing an ordinance on first reading to impose the ban. Tentative plans are to have the ordinance considered on second and final reading at the June 20 council meeting. If the ordinance is approved on second reading without major amendments, it will becomes effective in 30 days. Mayor Joe Jefferson was the only councilmember who spoke prior to the unanimous approval of the ordinance. “After the public comments we’ve received,
I am supportive of this ban,” he said. “While I do think there may be some state issue with legalizing marijuana but not allowing certain public places for people to consume, I don’t view that as Englewood’s problem. And I do feel like it brings some of the negative issues without providing a lot of positive benefits. So I certainly don’t want Englewood to be the home for all these types of businesses moving forward, and that’s why I’m supporting this ban.”
There is no provision in the ordinance concerning the fate of iBake Englewood, the marijuana consumption club located at 3995 S. Broadway. The council has tentatively scheduled a discussion about iBake as part of the June 20 study session. However Emmett Reistroffer, who has served on the city’s Liquor and Medical Marijuana Licensing Authority, urged the council to keep iBake open during the June 6 meeting’s public comment period.
Reistroffer said there needs to be a discussion about iBake. He said the club provides a location for residents and visitors to the city to consume marijuana. He said the business has been open for a year and has addressed security and odor control concerns. He asked that club representatives and the city work together to provide a way for iBake to stay open. iBake is open from noon to Marijuana continues on Page 16

Couple moves from teaching to cooking Former school employees now own South Philly Cheese Steaks
By Tom Munds tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia.com Mike and Melanie Gelinas agreed they wanted to do something different last year when they decided on a dramatic
career change. Mike had worked in Englewood schools for 15 years before moving to another school-related job three years ago and Melanie had worked in the office of Englewood Middle School and coached cheerleading for 16 years. Then, last year, the two Englewood High School graduates bought the South Philly Cheese Steaks restaurant at 1400 E. Hampden Ave.
“I have always had a passion to work in the food industry — we decided this was the time to make the move and decided the food industry was the way we would go,” Mike said. “We are young, our children have graduated from high school, so we started looking around for business opportunities.” Husband and wife agreed stepping in
Voters could be the ones who decide whether or not retail recreational marijuana sales will be permitted in Englewood. The ballot issue will be discussed as part of the June 20 city council study session. “We will try to hash out the wording in preparation of taking formal action to place the issue on whether or not the

FACES AMONG US

HELLO
... My Name Is
I wanted to take a couple years off from work.
A glimpse of the people in our community
Some time off for friends and family I traveled, I visited friends and family and did personal stuff I’ve always wanted to do. I went to Spain, I went to Amsterdam and I traveled around the United States. I was able to spend time with my dad before he passed away, which was great. I’m so glad I had the time to do that. And I just focused on myself for a couple years.
JEFF JACKSON
About me I was born and raised here in Littleton but moved away. I ended up coming back home from Durango in November of last year. I decided I missed the bigger city. Durango is a wonderful place and it has a lot to offer, but it’s small. And I wanted to move back home.
In my free time . . . I work out at FIT Littleton, I’ve been going there ever since I moved back. I’ve been doing a Crossfit-type workout for about four years, but I had some heart issues about a year ago and I’m kind of starting from scratch and building back up. I also like to go hiking and mountain bike riding, and travelling. I like the outdoors and the mountains.
What I do I’m a mortgage banker with Colorado State Bank and Trust. I was working for a bank in Durango; I worked there for a long time. But I decided, at that stage of my life,

Love was foundation that teacher built on Editor’s note: This is the last of an occasional series about Judy Racine, who retired this month after 40 years of teaching. Judy Racine kneels on the rug, the gaggle of second- and third-graders scattered around her. The learning target is printed neatly on the easel board: “I can give kind, helpful and specific feedback.” “What does that mean?” Judy asks. Landon: “ ‘Specific’ means not just ‘You did good.’ … You have to say more than one word. … You have to include ‘because.’ You have to say why it was good.” “What about ‘helpful’?” Austin: “Being kind to them, giving some goal to help them improve their work.” “And what about ‘kind’?” Tim: “You shouldn’t say, `I really don’t like how you did that.’ You should say, `You did that pretty well, but maybe you should do …’” Judy nods. “Acknowledging the hard
work first.” Then she reinforces the importance of the task. “Second-graders, you’re taking on a big responsibility. Your job is to be an audience and to help, to Ann Macari listen really hard to a third-grader Healey share their Passage portfolio.” This is the last week of classes. Third-graders, along with four other grade levels at Rocky Mountain School of Expeditionary Learning, are practicing for their presentation of their year’s work to community and teacher panels to demonstrate they are ready to move forward.

Thousands rock the block in Littleton A
Attendees weather heat and rain to enjoy music, performances and food
L a
B t
By Kyle Harding kharding@coloradocommunitymedia.com As 90-degree heat dissipated, thousands converged on downtown Littleton for the Main Street Block Party. The event saw record attendance in its 10th year, according to Greg Reinke, president of the Historic Downtown Littleton Merchant’s Association, who said between 26,000 and 28,000 people came. “We’ve surpassed everything we’ve thought,” Reinke said, standing by his “creepy freaky alley,” a haunted house-like experience that proved popular with kids and adults alike. Five bands played, with ‘80s hair metal cover band Mr. Steak drawing the biggest crowds from its stage at Main and Curtice streets. Heavy rain led most attendees to briefly seek cover in downtown shops and caused the bands to delay their performances. But as the rain subsided, they pulled the tarps off of their equipment and resumed playing. Boulder-based circus performance group Fractal Tribe drew large crowds throughout the night with acrobatics, fire-spinning, juggling and more. “These are some of the best circus performers in Colorado,” said George Peele of Denver, a stilt walker with the group. Ari Nicholson of Littleton was impressed with the performance. “It was really cool,” said Nicholson, at her first Littleton block party after moving from Chicago recently. “It was awesome.”

Annual muster fires up crowd Littleton event includes parade and firefighting demonstrations
By Tom Munds tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia.com Spectators lined the sidewalk to watch the Fire Truck Muster Parade that rolled down Main Street in Littleton with red lights flashing and sirens wailing. The Littleton Fire Department’s 1914 truck led the June 11 parade of antique and state-of-the-art equipment in the event sponsored by Schomp Automotive and the Mile High Hook and Ladder antique fire truck club. Sarah Porter was visiting friends in Littleton, heard the sirens and came to see what was going on. “This is a nice event. I just learned about the display down the street,” the Kansas resident said. “I am headed back to the house to get the kids and go to the event because all of them like fire trucks — and so do I.” The parade ended at Arapahoe Community College for the “muster” where spectators could catch a ride on a fire truck or get a close look at emergency equipment from a variety of eras. This was Sean Butler’s third year attending the muster. “The family, particularly the kids, like the event because there is so much to see and do,” the Parker resident said. “My two boys are over there running through the water. They are laughing and splashing around, so I would guess they are keeping cool and having a good time.” Because of a scheduling conflict, this year’s muster had to be moved one week earlier in June, which resulted in a smaller turnout. Apparently, the change in date resulted in 15 trucks being unable to participate, organizers said. Still, there was a big crowd and plans are being made for the muster to be held again next year.

Council holding special meeting on The Grove Developer threatens suit if approval is withdrawn
By Kyle Harding kharding@coloradocommunitymedia.com The Littleton City Council did not withdraw approval of a controversial development at its June 7 meeting, but faced with legal liability, it scheduled an executive session for June 14 to decide what course to take. After opponents of The Grove, a mixed-use project with 160 senior apartment units planned for the corner of Littleton Boulevard and Bemis Street, came to a council meeting last month to oppose the project, Councilmember Doug Clark moved to withdraw Zocalo Community Development’s site-development plan and building permit. Clark’s motion was seconded by Councilmember Jerry Valdes, but the council ultimately voted at that meeting to table the motion until the next regular meeting. In response, Zocalo attorney Matthew Rork of Fairfield and Woods, P.C., sent a letter to the city threatening a lawsuit of up to $30 million, saying council has no authority to revoke the approval and accusing councilmembers of “pandering” to opponents of The Grove. Rork addressed the council at the meeting, warning that withdrawal of the permit and site-development plan would result in an immediate filing of the suit. “My client has a vested right in the site-development plan under Colorado
law,” he said. The Grove was approved last fall by city staff as a use-by-right within the city’s B2 zoning, and City Attorney Kristin Schledorn says the project’s approval complied with the law. A building permit was issued in April and work on the site began shortly afterward. As with the last meeting, dozens of opponents turned out to oppose the project, citing its size and traffic concerns as reasons to not approve the project, as well as what they call a lack of public process in the approval of it. Opponents, led by Leah Burkett, who owns a home across the street from the project, are still embroiled in a lawsuit with Zocalo and the city, appealing for the ability to challenge the development. A trial in the 18th Judicial District has been set for Sept. 1. A few business owners spoke in favor of the development as well, but their numbers were overwhelmed by those opposed. Although Clark remains opposed to The Grove, he ultimately withdrew his motion to revoke the permit and plan. He said he made the motion to force a discussion of the issue after unsuccessful attempts to get it on a council agenda. “Revoking building permits is an extreme measure,” Clark acknowledged. One of the issues the council will look at in the executive session is whether to have the city’s board of adjustment look at an appeal of the development, which is one of the things opponents have been asking for.

Mark your calendars for Classic Car Show Community event features one-of-a-kind cars, motorcycles By Alex DeWind adewind@coloradocommunitymedia.com Kristen Lowden bought her 1968 Volkswagen Microbus in California, where she’s originally from. She and her husband moved to Highlands Ranch from Oregon about four years ago, and she still has her baby-blue bus. “It’s lived many places over the years
that I’ve owned it,” Lowden said. It’s also a regular at the Highlands Ranch Classic Car Show, which is just around the corner: Lowden’s bus will make its third appearance at the 16th annual event on June 18. The car show, hosted by the Highlands Ranch Cultural Association and sponsored by Groove Auto, runs from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Cherry Hills Community Church, 3900 Grace Blvd. Admission is free. Community members will showcase their beloved vehicles, including classic, antique or new cars and motorcycles.
The celebration includes music, food, prizes, goodie bags and awards for first, second and third place in multiple categories. Lowden placed second in her category last year and first the year before. She keeps the trophies in her living room. The car show has a dedicated following. “We go every year,” said Highlands Ranch resident Nancy VanGosen, “and I know someone who shows a car.” VanGosen doesn’t know the make of car, she said, but recognizes it year after year.
Lowden’s displayed her bus in more than 20 car shows, but the Cherry Hills event holds a special significance. Last year’s marked her 18-month-old daughter’s first car show. Participants can pre-register by mail, online or in-person at Eastridge Recreation Center, 9568 University Blvd., until noon on June 17. Cost is $20. Registrations will be accepted day of for $25. The Highlands Ranch Classic Car Show is by far Lowden’s favorite. “It’s really the people that make this car show the best,” she said. “The community itself is great.”
Freedom brings responsibility. This Independence Day, give our streams a break. Not only are personal fireworks a fire danger, but also, their waste poses a threat to our waterways when not disposed of properly. Summer days in Colorado often bring flashing rain and thunderstorms that quickly wash away waste on streets and parking lots, sending them straight to the nearest stream. What isn’t collected and thrown away after the celebration may be gone before you know it. Take the time this holiday and clean up after yourself.

Residents sue Sheridan over petition Radar, red-light camera dispute moves to court after city rejection By Tom Munds tmunds@colorado communitymedia.com Sheridan residents Harley Adams, Ernest Vigil and Phyllis Vigil are plaintiffs in a district court lawsuit seeking to let residents vote on whether or not the city should continue to use a redlight camera and photo radar.

Council are also listed as defendants in the court action. The lawsuit is the latest chapter in efforts to require Sheridan to no longer use a red-light camera and a photo-radar van. Paul Houston has spearheaded the effort and said it is a grassroots effort to ban photo radar and red-light cameras in Sheridan. “Filing an action in district court was our only recourse after the city rejection of our petition to put the issue to a vote.” Houston said. “We are maintaining the rejection of valid signatures on the petition is voter suppression. I feel we can win in court.” He said the goal is to have the district court judge order Sheridan to issue a letter of sufficiency for the petitions to put the photo-radar question to a vote of the people. “A letter of sufficiency will
move the process forward,” Houston said. “The city council can approve putting the issue to a vote of the people or let the petition stand and set up the election.” Sheridan City Manager Devin Granbery said June 6 he had just received the court filing. “I had heard rumors this was coming,” he said. “We need to have the court documents looked over by the city attorney and I need to discuss this issue with the city council, which doesn’t meet until June 13. So, I have no comment regarding this lawsuit at this time.” Houston and Sheridan residents circulated petitions to collect the 452 signatures required to put the photo-radar issue to a vote of the city’s residents. According to the petition filed as part of the lawsuit, Houston submitted the petition contain-
ing 523 signatures to the city clerk in March. The clerk is required to verify the petition signatures. On March 30, the clerk issued a notice that 445 petitions signatures were acceptable, seven short of the 452 signatures needed to require an election. Proponents of the ballot issue protested the signature rejections on April 6, claiming 18 of the 76 rejections met acceptable signature requirements. On April 27, Sagee accepted three of the 18 protested signatures, but that still left the petition four signatures short of the required 452 signatures, so the petition was declared insufficient. Houston, who is not a Sheridan resident, said he began the campaign in Sheridan to show it is possible to put the issue of the fate of photo radar and red-light cameras to a vote of the people.
In an interview earlier this year, Sheridan’s city manager said the city council supports the use of the radar van and its redlight camera but, for now, had no position on the ballot initiative effort. He agreed the camera and van do generate revenue for the city but said the primary reason for using the devices is traffic safety. The city uses one photo radar van and Granbery said the van is only used in school and construction zones. The city’s only red-light camera is located at the intersection of U.S. Highway 285 and River Point Parkway. The estimated revenue for 2015 from the camera and van was about $725,000, with the total amount the contractor would receive estimated at $398,000, so the estimated amount that would go into the city coffers would be about $327,000.
City disputes employee’s claim of cancer Worker believes sludge at water plant made him sick By Tom Munds tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia.com Englewood officials point to state tests as they deny Allen Water Filtration Plant employee Ken Kloewer’s claim that dust from alum sludge is responsible for his cancer. Eric Keck, city manager, said the safety of all employees is of primary concern. “We try to make sure all our employees are safe,” he said. “At the Allen Treatment Plant, like at all our facilities, we comply
will all state and federal regulations. The state tests have reported a low, background level of radiation in the sludge but the sludge is not a health hazard.” Alum sludge is a byproduct of the water filtration process. The sludge, which contains background levels of radioactivity, is spread out and dried, then shipped to a landfill with facilities to accept materials with low levels of radioactivity. Efforts to contact Kloewer for comment were unsuccessful. He told CBS4 that he and two other plant employees were diagnosed with cancer in recent years, and the other two have died. CBS4 reported that he was initially diagnosed with colon cancer that now

has spread to his liver and lungs, and that he filed a workmers’ compensation claim a couple years ago pointing to breathing the dust from the sludge as the cause of his cancer. Tom Brown, Englewood utilities director, said the treatment process at the Allen plant — located at 1500 W. Layton Ave. — which makes water safe to drink also creates a byproduct called alum sludge. “The sludge is 75 percent water,” he said. “It is dried on site. It takes about two years to dry the material so it can be removed.” He said the material is supposed to be removed from the site annually but the
state changed the rules in 2014, and two landfills were no longer allowed to accept the sludge. Brown brought a request to the council June 6 to approve a contract to pay $230,550 for removal and disposal to the Secure On-Site Services facility in Deer Trail. The council approved the request. He said the approved contract will result in hauling 1,250 yards of sludge from 2013 and 2014 to the landfill. The sludge from 2015 is in the second year of its drying process. It is stored in the parking lot and covered with a tarp. The sludge from the water treatment process so far in 2016 is stored in the plant’s reservoir until the end of the year.

‘Getting together is a life-saving thing’ Invisible Disabilities Association supports those with ailments that aren’t readily apparent
By Tom Skelley tskelley@coloradocommunitymedia.com Wayne Connell knew his wife, Sherri, was ill, but nobody else could tell. “We would park in disabled parking and people would yell at us for parking there,” Connell says. “We’d have people follow us all the way into the store, then my wife would sit in the scooter and they’d say ‘Oh.’” Connell’s wife, Sherri, has Lyme disease and primary progressive multiple sclerosis. The conditions forced her to quit working and left her fatigued and in pain, but without visible symptoms. Experiences the couple shared led Sherri to coin the term “invisible disabilities,” and the couple decided to share their story. In 1997, Connell started the Invisible Disabilities Advocate website to let people know that sometimes people who look healthy are in fact struggling with legitimate health problems, and to let the afflicted know they aren’t alone. The Parker resident says the site initially received 20,000 to 25,000 hits a month, and the organization grew organically from there. The group became a 501(c)(3) in 2004, and in 2008 changed its name to the Invisible Disabilities Association. The Invisible Disabilities Association Facebook page has 169,600 followers and, as a result of the group’s work, three states — Colorado, Wisconsin and Hawaii — now mark Invisible Disabilities Week every October, the same month the group hosts an annual honors gala. The organization hosts an online support group with over 4,100 members, invisibledisabilitiescommunity.org. The virtual support group gives members who have a difficult time getting around a chance to connect with others and offers digital companionship to people with a disability who live too far away for a physical meeting. Posts on the page discuss everything from how to talk to schools about a child with an unseen condition to stories of facing daily activities with conditions like chronic depression, fibromyalgia or rheumatoid arthritis. “We’re hosting a conversation,” Connell says. Jane Brown began visiting the site in 2007. Brown quit working that year due to multiple sclerosis and Connell, Brown’s former co-worker, reached out to her about six months later. He invited her to check out the website. “I went on it so I could say that I did,” Brown says, admitting her initial skepticism. “It pulled me out of the doldrums, and for the next year I lived on that website.” As she became more involved in the group’s virtual discussions, Brown began to yearn for face-to-face contact with other members. In 2009 she started a gettogether, Disabled People Want to Meet Up Too. The group, and Brown, are still going strong, meeting weekly at Solid Grounds coffee shop in Littleton. The connection members find through the site and meetings often fills a void left when friends and family members cut ties.
Connell and Brown both say it happens to most, if not all, people with invisible disabilities, leaving them isolated and feeling abandoned. “Everybody goes through that isolation,” Brown says. “After I quit work, my friends just disappeared.” Leia Tilton, a member of the group since 2011, says she has maintained friendships with only two people she knew before she was diagnosed with fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue and chronic pain from a herniated thoracic disk. “They think we’re just making things up,” Tilton says. “The people who’ve known you as a healthy, active person just don’t understand how you became so different.” Tilton says she is a rare case in that despite losing friendships, she still has strong ties with her family. But for Jake Jacobs, the Invisible Disabilities Association is his family. Jacobs was exposed to radiation during military service in Australia, and now neurotoxins are slowly destroying the all soft tissue in his body. His symptoms have progressed to the point that he now uses canes to walk as well as a portable oxygen tank. His disability is now apparent to anyone he passes on the street, but he says he lost family and friends during years when he felt awful but appeared healthy, before doctors successfully diagnosed his rare condition. “It’s kind of like a divorce,” Jacobs says. “People scatter on both sides. Suddenly it becomes a situation where you’re untouchable.” Jacobs, Tilton and Connell say high rates of depression come with the isolation associated with invisible disabilities, or sometimes from the conditions themselves, such as bipolar disorder or PTSD. Because they all can relate to that sense of loneliness, members of the IDA take pride in looking out for each other that much more. “We try very hard to take care of our own,” Tilton says. “Getting together is a lifesaving thing for us.” “We make ourselves available around the clock,” Jacobs says, after recounting that he was up past midnight the previous night counseling a fellow member on the phone. Jacobs and Tilton began the group Disabled and Still Happy, a spinoff of Brown’s group, to provide a location for meetings in Parker. They say they still meet up with Brown occasionally and visit the online support group, and the number of groups that evolve from the IDA doesn’t make members any less of a community. “We’ll always be family,” Jacobs says. Despite the strength they find in each other, Brown, Jacobs and Tilton all say it is up to each member of the group, individually, to take the first step. “Reach out,” Brown says. “Get online, go to a meetup, or something. Nobody’s going to do it for you.” Jacobs says in addition to the support he gets from his Invisible Disabilities Association family, he tries to achieve three goals every day to stay positive. “One is to get both feet on the ground, two is to do something nice for someone and three is to learn something new,” he says, noting that, for him, staying active means staying positive. “Otherwise you just end up curled up in a ball, crying yourself to sleep,” he says. “And that’s not an option.”

VOICES
LOCAL
If it’s going to be, it’s up to me Over the Memorial Day weekend, as I was visiting family and friends out in Montauk, New York, we stopped by the local grocery store to pick up some things for the weekend picnic and barbecue. It was a perfect beach day, the weather was phenomenal and the morning sun was already melting away the remnants of spring. As expected, the grocery store was packed with other people who had made the trek out to the easternmost tip of Long Island for the weekend. As we maneuvered through the mayhem and crowd while maneuvering our cart to avoid other shoppers, children, and display cases, I couldn’t help but overhear a conversation between a bread vendor and a local regular customer. The customer and the vendor were discussing how busy the store was and how it was just the beginning of the summer season. And the vendor, with a big smile of genuine gratitude and appreciation on his face, looked at the customer and said, “We wait for this all year don’t we?” This was the time of the year when local businesses make their money. Tourists pour into town from Memorial Day through Labor Day and the shops, restaurants, bars, and area attractions wait all year to capitalize on this season. It’s kind of like our ski towns
here in Colorado, although many of the ski areas and towns are also awesome in the summertime as well — some may argue even better than the winter. I couldn’t help but think about the vendor’s comment, “We wait for this all year, don’t we?” And I Michael Norton wondered if there was something I wait for WINNING all year too. Is there a WORDS season that I wait for? Is there an event I wait for? Is there a person I am waiting for? And if I am waiting, why am I waiting? Shouldn’t I be doing something to maximize my potential or pursue other opportunities, challenges or adventures while I am waiting? When it comes to certain things I can be extremely patient. However, when it comes to waiting for something else to happen in order for me to achieve success or accomplish a task, I am not very patient at all. By putting my success in the hands of another person, a season or event, I am leaving my
success to chance rather than being the driver and force that determines whether I succeed or fail. And as that old saying goes, “If it’s to be, it’s up to me.” And with an attitude of “If it’s to be, it’s up to me,” we can hold ourselves accountable for taking the actions necessary to control our own success and destiny instead of waiting for and maybe even blaming outside sources or influences when we miss out on an opportunity. The time to pursue our goals and dreams is now. Not after the summer, not after the kids go back to school, not after the election, not after the holidays, not just at the New Year, but now and I mean right now. So what are you waiting for? If it was a nudge, I hope this was it. If it was something more I would love to hear all about it or help you set a path toward achieving your goals and dreams. You can email me at gotonorton@gmail.com, and when we live life with an attitude of “If it’s to be, it’s up to me” it really will be a better than good week. Michael Norton is a resident of Castle Rock, the former president of the Zig Ziglar Corporation, a strategic consultant and a business and personal coach.

New cycle mandates changes in portfolio
Nobody wants to be left behind. Everyone wants their investments to grow. However, current market conditions are tricky and consistent results from traditional allocations are long gone. Investors will need to be nimble to Patricia Kummer stay ahead or their FINANCIAL accounts may fall STRATEGIES behind. Investment strategies designed during monetary easing are due for an overhaul. Things are different now. The Federal Reserve Board is moving toward higher interest rates designed to tighten the money supply. Asset classes that performed well during Quantitative Easing will not likely hold up as well when the Fed raises rates, pushing down potential growth. Hence the beginning of the new monetary cycle warrants a portfolio update. Many investors are frustrated that returns have been stagnant after a down year in 2015. We got spoiled when the Feds were fueling the economy with free money that was pushing markets higher without sustainable economic growth. We are paying for that now and the outlook is rather cloudy. Therefore, portfolio changes may be in order to keep ahead of future inflation and earn something north of a bank account without too much risk. That is a great recipe, but needs ingredients hard to come by. Since historical returns are not a predictor of future results, it is hard to evaluate what investments will do well going forward. The world has changed and what worked in the past may have a very different outcome now. Those willing to take a long view and add a bit more risk can find some exciting opportunities. But it is likely not for the faint of heart.

Avoiding raindrops in stormy political season Wake me up when it’s all over. But it never will be over, will it? I promised I wouldn’t write about the election again. I lied. The day after the election, the loser’s party will start carping about something that the winner said the night before. The carping may begin, but it will be no match for what is going on now. I went to my doctor and said, “Doc, it hurts when I hit my head with a hammer.” And he said, “Stop hitting your head with a hammer. That will be $500. Pay on your way out.” The daily news is hitting my head with a hammer. I am spending far too much time with a man named Wolf. But I like the Wolf Man. He has absolutely no sense of humor, but he gets the job done without waving his hands all around or punching the air. The candidates wave their arms around and punch the air. Maybe you saw or heard that Wolf con-

They will talk about what they learned, how they grew as people, what wonderful ideas they have come upon as writers, readers, scientists, mathematicians, artists. “It’s this idea of passage,” Judy says, of “moving on.” Life’s journey, after all, could be defined as a series of passages: College graduation. First car. First job. Marriage. First child. This year, like her students, Judy, too, will be moving on. After 40 years of teaching, she is retiring. It is, she says, “another part of my passage.” •
•
•
Principal Chad Burns tells this story to illustrate the essence of Judy’s teaching. He’s at school on a Saturday, working. Judy and her husband, Joe, pull into the parking lot with a pickup truck filled with bags of mulch for the school garden, which Judy’s students have chosen as their service project for the year. They heap the bags onto the sidewalk near the playground. “Where do you want me to take it?” Burns asks. “Oh, no,” Judy answers. The mulch stays here. “They’ll figure it out.” The following Monday, before school starts, the second- and third-graders are marching across the playground in assembly-line formation, carrying the bags and dropping them in the garden. “She gives the kids the right amount of support,” Burns says. “But even when you’re 8 years old, it’s OK — you’ll figure it out.” When she retired June 3, Judy was the oldest — at 65 — and the most veteran staff member in terms of longevity — at 20 years — of the low-slung school tucked in a south Denver residential neighborhood. She was a pioneering member of the program, supported by five school districts — Littleton, Douglas County, Cherry Creek, Denver and Aurora — and the nonprofit Public Education and Business Coalition. The curriculum is built on the principles of Outward Bound and teaches curriculum with multidisciplinary learning expeditions or in-depth field trips for areas of study. Students showcase what they’ve learned in unit-ending projects they present to the community. Judy will tell you she has no patience for today’s focus on testing and evaluation metrics, of the loss of play as a daily part of learning, of the emphasis on singular standards rather than the “wholeness” of a child. At the Expeditionary school, she found a place that let her do it her way, to instill a love for learning by letting kids be kids. Those around her watched — and
the amount of risk that may be creeping higher is still appropriate for you. Low interest rates and low stock market returns have forced some investors to seek higher returns, which often incur substantial risk. Determine what your time frame is for each goal. Select short-term, low volatility investments for any funds needed in less than three years. Then you can gradually add balanced, value and dividend growth investments for the three- to seven-year goals. This allows your longest-term goals to carry the highest potential returns. Risk
is often mitigated over longer periods of time of 10 years or more. This is also the time period you need to be more concerned about loss of purchasing power due to inflation, rather than short-term performance. Meet with your advisor to discuss a more active or dynamic approach to taking advantage of adjustments that occur in prices when markets are miscalculated. Long-term core strategies should remain for the bulk of your assets, but additional exposure to certain asset classes that benefit from moving markets may help give
your accounts a fresh start.
I know I would have befriended good people back there — down there — and I probably could have found a good dachshund. But Colorado never embarrasses me. And that’s saying something. Hickenlooper is our best governor since Lamm. Hickenlooper has a book out. “The Opposite of Woe: My Life in Beer and Politics.” The title on the cover was handwritten. I think it’s a reflection of Hickenlooper’s approach to things. Thoreau said, “Simplify, simplify.” Some (former) governors are in prison,
or were disgraced in office. Not this guy. And no one is bashing him because he married a woman who is 26 years younger than he is. If you fall in love, you fall in love, unless it’s your 13-year-old first cousin once removed. Jerry Lee Lewis will be 81 in September. I don’t even know what a once removed cousin is, but it sounds like a punch line. I sure wanted to remove one of my cousins. He was slurring his polysyllables at a
family reunion. He told my sister that he was a magician. “Look,” he said. “I can make my lap disappear.” He stood up. That was it. The conventions are around the corner. I can’t watch yahoos in red, white and blue stovepipe hats yapping it up. I’ll just play catch-up with the Wolf Man.
learned, too. “Judy finds the balance in everything the educational landscape has demanded,” Burns says, as he lists the alphabet of standardized testing over the years — TCAP, CMAS, PARCC and more. “She taught students how to love learning first. This love then manifested into a solid understanding of each content.” And her kids have excelled. Over the past five years, Burns says, more than 90 percent of her students have scored proficient or advanced in reading, for instance. The 2014 standardized test results put the statewide average for students who had met or exceeded grade-level expectations in reading at 72 percent. A new high school math teacher painted one of Judy’s favorite sayings on a cabinet in his classroom: “Play is the engine that drives learning.” But it all starts with a fundamental understanding that has nothing to do with academics. “What a child needs first in their life, before they can do anything, is to know that someone cares,” Burns says. “That is the foundational fabric of Judy’s classroom … Every student knows, every day, no matter if it’s a bad day or a good day, that Judy loves and cares about them.”
our energy out in the morning … stretch, play a game, then ready to learn.” And then, from Tesla: “We’ll miss her. But she deserves to retire. She’s been working hard for a while.” Judy isn’t sure what she’ll do next. She would love to stay in education in some way — she feels like she still has so much more to give. But something unexpected could surprise her. “I told myself to keep open eyes, open ears, make sure I’m open to anything that comes along and feels good and right,” Judy says. She doesn’t have a bucket list. She prefers to let things happen when they happen. She will just figure it out.
On the last day of classes, Judy sends her students off with a simple, cheerful directive: “Have a fantastic summer!” That means no academics allowed. Read a book, she suggests. Lie in the grass and watch the clouds. Fly a kite. Make sure you find someone you can help. Find something you’ve never done before — challenge yourself. She doesn’t worry, though. Like her, she knows they’ll figure it out.

In the classroom, Judy’s crew — as the classes are called — has come back to the rug from their groups. The students have shared their feedback, offered advice and are ready for a playground break. “I thought all of you did a great job of helping one another, listening, supporting,” Judy tells them as she looks around the energetic circle. She’s proud of her kids, of the community they’ve built together. The best advice she could give a new teacher? To create community, a place where kids feel safe and where they belong with each other. “With 7- and 8-year-olds, it’s an everyday piece … that character piece,” Judy says. “If you didn’t have that — a strong crew — they’re not learning or they’re always in conflict or there’s always something going on. The actual teaching of content comes after you’ve established a safe community.” The students know Judy won’t be back next year. The reasons they give for missing her reflect — in their simplicity — unwitting insights into good teaching. “I’m sad,” Tim says. “She was like a RMSEL legend, and she takes us on really, really fun camping trips. … She treats students like students, and doesn’t just do it for them.” “She’s really nice,” Tesla says. “And she teaches us really good stuff.” Dawson: “She made us be kind, then she would help us a lot in math.” Ainsley: “She teaches things that are actually important instead of studying something that isn’t that important and you could learn without your teacher.” “She’s smart,” says Landon. “She gets

odeo cowboys Landon Mecham and Chase Bennett roll out of Salt Lake City a little after 8 a.m., eight-plus hours on the road ahead of them. Their route through the heart of the Rockies will land them in the rolling hills of Colorado’s eastern plains for the June 4 evening performance of the Elizabeth Stampede and Rodeo. That’s 16 hours of travel for half that number of seconds on the back of a saddle bronc named 939 Ridiculousness, and a payday ranging from zero to $1,272. At 30 years old, Mecham is in the prime of his rodeo career. And the Elizabeth Stampede is one of about 20 rodeos he will enter in June. “Traveling on the circuit, it’s a lot of long hours driving, a lot of time, late nights,” Mecham said. “It’s a lot of fun being on the road with good friends.” Mecham and Bennett, among the thousands of cowboys who hope to compete on the rodeo circuit each year, are ingrained in a way of life that has them loving the dirt and hurt that inevitably comes with the job, always dreaming of the big wins that make the journey worth it. To prepare for his ride at the Elizabeth Stampede, Mecham sits in his saddle on the floor of the competitors’ tent, toes in the stirrups, legs extended, his left hand grasping the

Locals bring talent, excitement to fifth annual Denver Comic Con
By Crystal Anderson canderson@coloradocommunitymedia.com In the realm of nerd, one can always go a little deeper. And for area self-proclaimed nerds and fans of the pop culture phenomenon, that’s where the Denver Comic Con comes in. “We’re putting on a show that we’d want to attend,” said Christina Angel, director of Denver Comic Con. “That’s one of the beautiful things about maintaining an independent con. We’re unique in the landscape of cons, reflecting Denver’s pop culture interests, but we’re also different each year with new themes and
focus.” Beginning Friday, June 17, local fans, artists, cosplayers, game designers and authors will descend upon the fifth annual Denver Comic Con, a convention focused on the popular culture of comic book, graphic novel, science fiction, fantasy and animé worlds. Founded by Pop Culture Classroom, a charitable organization that uses comic book media to promote student literacy, it also offers specific programs, panels, vendors and artists, along with celebrity photo ops and signings. A big part of the fun is cosplaying, where fans dress up in elaborately designed, often handmade, costumes of their favorite characters. Last year, more than 100,000 people attended the Denver convention, making it one of the fastest-growing in the country. This year’s convention runs through Sunday, June 19, at the Colo-
rado Convention Center. But the con’s not-so-secret mission is education. “The coolest thing about this year’s con is the same thing that is cool about it every year,” Angel said. “PCC (Pop Culture Classroom) is in the Colorado community year-round, engaging kids in literacy and education through its programs that use comics and pop culture in the classroom.” Proceeds from the Comic Con pay for staffing, supplies and infrastructure of the program, which is offered for free to schools. For area educators, such as Elle Skelton, who teaches seventh-grade English at Pinnacle Charter School in Federal Heights, the con is an amusing and educational experience. “Most people don’t realize the people who put on the Comic Con have a big focus on education,” she said. “I’m go-
ing there to find ways to incorporate pop culture and comic books into my classroom and using them for literature purposes.” The con’s educational mission, said Arvada fan Robin Melberg, is one she accepts with her whole heart. “It’s the only nonprofit con and it all goes to kid’s literacy and reading,” she said. “It makes you feel so good.” From video game design to meeting the godfather of Marvel Comics, Stan Lee, and everything imaginable in between, fans will be immersed in an overwhelming sea of nerd, one many local con-goers say is the place to be. “Comic Con is a way to embrace different personalities,” said Katie Hartkopp, a Wheat Ridge author and fan of nerdy things. “It’s a chance to say it’s OK to be whoever you want … it’s a group celebration of individuality.”

I even sold a Thor Hammer to Lou Ferrigno, aka “The Hulk.” Later he came to the Con and we chatted for quite a long time about it. It was awesome.

The patriarch hailed from the local town of Arvada, Colorado, where he now resides with his personal hero, Robin, and their two heroes in training — daughters Zoey and Leia. Just like their parents, the two heroesin-training now have a passion for science fiction, fantasy and comic book characters.
Each spring, the family dons a different set of costumes for each of the three days of the Denver Comic Con. Once in disguise the family ventures upon the convention to show the world their creative mastery. From “Ghostbusters” and “Star Wars”’ Hans Solo to Princess Bubblegum and Honey Lemon from Disney’s “Big Hero 6,” the family dashes into the costumed culture around them, seeking out fellow characters, and of course, heroes in disguise.

June 16, 2016 Landon Mecham of Tropic, Utah, shows off the type of boots he and other saddle bronc riders wear during competitions. Rodeo riders provide their own equipment and pay entry fees, as well as pay Pro Rodeo Cowboy Association dues to compete in sanctioned events. Photo by Rick Gustafson
“
When you’re first learning, there is quite a bit of adrenaline factor there and a lot of times it’s hard to keep it all gathered mentally. The more you do it, the more you’re able to stay controlled.”
— Landon Mecham, rodeo cowboy
Cowboy Continued from Page 12
He began mutton bustin’ (sheep riding) as a boy and progressed to calves. Following a short stint of riding bulls in high school, he found his niche riding saddle broncs. “Tropic, Utah, is where I’m from,” he said. “My parents did rodeo. My dad was a team roper. He rode bulls in his younger years, and then he was a pickup man. My mom was a rodeo secretary in Utah at amateur rodeos.” Like Mecham, 8-year-old Boedy Lambert of Wiggins, Colorado, is growing up in the rodeo culture. His father, Ricky Lambert, travels the circuit as a tie-down roper and brought his son to the Stampede in Elizabeth the first week in June. Boedy has been competing as a breakaway roper since age 5 and plans to start riding bulls next summer. “I’m going to do miniature bulls at the Circle A Rodeo next year,” he said from the back of his horse. At the north end of the arena, Mecham calls for the
start of his saddle bronc ride with a nod of his head. The gateman opens the Medved Auto chute door and 939 Ridiculousness bucks and takes a stutter step, jumping vertically with his head down. The change in direction briefly knocks Mecham out of rhythm. Mecham squares his body and keeps his feet moving and 939 Ridiculousness bucks steadily throughout the remaining six seconds of the ride. When the buzzer sounds, the pickup man rides in and helps Mecham from the horse. “The eight seconds … is like a sprint, it’s like a 100yard sprint is what I would compare it to,” Mecham said. “When you’re first learning, there is quite a bit of adrenaline factor there and a lot of times it’s hard to keep it all gathered mentally. The more you do it, the more you’re able to stay controlled.” Two judges score Mecham’s ride, evaluating both horse and rider from one to 25 for a combined 100

possible points. “There’s an expression, you always try to be 90, because that’s pretty much a winning score,” Mecham said. “One hundred would be perfect, in a perfect world — that’s kind of impossible. There’s always going to be a flaw somewhere in something. To be in the 90s is where you strive to be every time.” Mecham’s ride earns him 77.5, enough to put him in a tie for fourth place out of the 36 saddle bronc riders who competed in the Stampede over the weekend. His traveling partner Chase Bennett’s score of 82 earns him third place. The following week, Mecham and Bennett travel to rodeos in Idaho, Utah and back to Colorado for the Ute Mountain Roundup Rodeo in Cortez. Mecham’s paycheck for the night totals $366. And when asked if it is worth it, he said: “Definitely, I don’t know what I’d rather be doing if I wasn’t doing this.”

‘I want to have a voice’
ABOUT THE IMMIGRANT RESOURCES CENTER
Immigrants pursue dream of citizenship through Littleton class
The Littleton Immigrant Resources Center is a division of Bemis Public Library. It was established in 2009 after the city and the Littleton Immigration Integration Initiative received a $50,000 grant from the Migration Policy Institute.
By Kyle Harding kharding@coloradocommunitymedia.com In a conference room in the basement of Bemis Public Library, a group of hopeful people spend their Tuesday mornings preparing for the moment that will determine whether they become United States citizens. “I want to have a voice,” said Ruth Alonso of Denver, who emigrated from Mexico six years ago. Alonso is a student in a citizenship class at the Littleton Immigrant Resources Center, preparing for her naturalization interview with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services officers. Reasons for becoming a citizen vary, but the desire to vote is commonly cited in election years, said Petula McShiras, an attorney and the supervisor of the center, which is housed in the library and offers legal assistance and English-as-a-secondlanguage courses in addition to the citizenship classes. Other reasons include the ability to petition for a green card for family members, McShiras said, as well as a sense of security. “They want to say `Yes, I am an American,’ ” she said. Deb Schaffer, the citizenship program coordinator, prepares students for their interview, during which they must pass a test on speaking, reading and writing English as well as an oral exam on American civics. “It’s hard to prepare people for whom
Previously, the Immigration Integration Initiative, or LI3, now known as Immigrant Pathways Colorado, had operated an information center at the library with funding from nonprofit foundation The Colorado Trust.
English is a struggle,” Schaffer said, noting that they may misunderstand the questions asked during the interview. All five students in the June 7 class came from Latin America, but Schaffer said classes will often include students from Asian and European countries as well. The class runs for eight months, but students can come back as many times as they need to be prepared for the interview. Currently, citizen hopefuls’ interviews are scheduled eight to 10 weeks out from when their applications are sent in. “People really want to change their lives,” Schaffer said. “But it’s my job to make sure they’re ready.” Schaffer prepares students by running through a battery of sample questions, sometimes in the form of a game, such as throwing a ball around the class, with the person it is tossed to being asked a question. Questions cover topics such as the
names of key government figures, the powers and responsibilities of the three branches of government and what rights are protected by the First Amendment. Eleazar Rios, who passed his citizenship interview on June 6, attended the class for four months and said the program prepared him well. Rios returned to class the day after his interview with a big smile and a tray of enchiladas to share his success. “I’m feeling good,” said Rios, who lives in Parker and emigrated from Mexico 16 years ago. Another Mexican immigrant who recently earned his citizenship continues to come to class as a volunteer to help others prepare for their interview. “I like to help people,” said Jose Hernandez-Pimental, who passed his interview in April after deciding last August to pursue his dream of becoming a citizen with more focus. He helps tutor students who need addi-

city should permit retail sales of recreational marijuana on the November ballot,” Mayor Joe Jefferson said. Jefferson’s comments came at the end of a June 6 study session that included a council discussion about what the next step should be regarding the sale of recreational marijuana in Englewood. The discussion touched on the possibility of residents launching an effort to gather sufficient signatures to put a question on the November ballot that could ask voters to lift the existing ban on recreational sales. Proponents of permitting retail marijuana sales in Englewood spoke at the council meeting that evening and hinted at the possibility of a resident-initiated
as restaurant owners involved a steep learning curve. “I love to cook so that part of it was easy,” Mike said. “But it took both of us working together to deal with all the other issues like ordering supplies and keeping the books.” Owning and operating a restaurant was a lot harder than she had expected, Melanie said. “The first three months, Mike and I were both here at the restaurant about 85 hours a week,” she said. “But I feel it has paid off. Our business is up, we have a lot of customers for lunch and dinner, plus our delivery business is growing. The restaurant
ballot issue. On June 10, City Clerk Lou Ellis said she had a call earlier in the week asking about the procedure to put an issue on the November ballot, but no one has met with her or filed a letter of intent to promote a resident-initiated ballot issue. The mayor started the discussion by asking council members if they wanted to continue to look at lifting the ban on recreational marijuana sales. Councilmembers voiced differing opinions about what the next step should be but appeared to agree they need to continue the discussion. Councilmember Amy Martinez said she supported putting the issue to a vote of the residents, as did Councilmember Linda Olson. But there wasn’t agreement on putting the issue on the ballot and there wasn’t agreement on how detailed the ballot issue question should be. There was discussion of the question

tional help with English, including Candida Ortiz, an El Salvadoran immigrant who has her interview later in June. Hernandez-Pimental, a diesel mechanic at Denver International Airport, had worked towards becoming a citizen before, but family and work obligations got in the way. In addition to classes at the library, he credits his wife and in-laws with supporting him. One reason he became a citizen is that it allows him to apply for government jobs. “Last year I decided I have to do it,” he said. He got a CD to help him study for the test while he drove. “No matter where I was going,” he said, “that was playing.”
really is a labor of love and we have our daughter, my mother and sometimes other family members working here with us.” Mike said things fell into place for them. The Hampden Avenue location came fully equipped, and because it was a corporate store, it had a larger menu than most of the franchise locations. “We have a lot of different things on the menu, including chicken, wings and burgers in case our customers want something other than the cheese steak sandwich,” he said. “Of course our cheese steak sandwiches are our most popular item. We use about 750 pounds of beef a week. It is thinly-sliced beef and we don’t start cooking the beef and ingredients on the grill until a sandwich is ordered.” One or both of the owners are in
being simply: Should recreational marijuana sales be allowed or should they not? There was also discussion about ballot question language that included distancing requirements and other restrictions. There was a majority of councilmembers who agreed to try to develop a ballot question and the discussion of details was scheduled for the June 20 study session. In 2012, Colorado voters approved Amendment 64, which legalized recreational sales of marijuana. About 65 percent of Englewood residents voted to approve the amendment, which allows cities to enact local bans on such sales. Englewood permitted the sale of medical marijuana — which is only available to patients holding a state-issued card — and in 2013, the city council placed a non-binding advisory question on the ballot asking if the city should ban the sale of recreational marijuana. In her report on the results, Assistant City Clerk Stephanie Carlile stated that because of

the restaurant almost every day. Usually, Melanie is up front taking orders and Mike is at the grill preparing the food. Rod Pittman and his wife stopped for the first time June 7. “They do the cheese steak sandwich here and they do it right,” said Pittman, who lives in Parker. “I won’t drive from Parker just for a sandwich, but you can bet I’ll stop by when I am in the area.” Dr. John Nicolette is a regular customer. Recently, he was having his dental office remodeled so he stopped in to buy lunches for the workmen. “I told the remodeling crew I would provide them a good lunch if they would keep working,” he said. “I wanted to keep my promise and I couldn’t think of a better place to get lunch for them.”
the way some precincts are split between communities, there was no way to get a completely accurate voter count. But the count provided showed 3,593 people cast ballots to ban recreational sales and 3,862 voted not to ban such sales. In the same year, the Englewood City Council passed the ban on recreational marijuana sales that remains in place. Englewood City Manager Eric Keck said the issue of possibly rescinding the ban has come up as at the request of some residents and members of the marijuana industry. Councilmembers have conducted lengthy discussions about the issue. At their request, city staff conducted three forums in order to gather comments from residents regarding the recreational marijuana sales ban. Councilmembers received 175 pages of comments submitted about the issue.
He said iBake customers pay a membership fee and go into an area where marijuana consumption is allowed. The fee is $4.20 per day plus $10 a month for membership. The store has drinks, snacks, T-shirts and other merchandise for sale. It is not licensed to sell marijuana in any form At the May meeting, Comer told the council iBake applied for a sales and use tax license in April 2015, and the application stated the store was
in the retail business offering general merchandise like T-shirts and pipes as well as prepackaged food, but did not indicate it would be a membership organization. When the city found IBake was a marijuana social club, the council passed a six-month moratorium banning establishing additional clubs in the city. The council extended the moratorium for six months. It expires in July.

A colorful front door is centrally located on the simple set at Cherry Creek Theatre and the adjacent living room is empty as the audience settles in for “4000 Miles.” When her West Village doorbell rings in the middle of the night, 91-year-old Vera (the excellent Billie McBride) is confused as she opens the door for her strung-out 20-something grandson, Leo (Kevin Kantor), who is standing there, looking needy. Leo has ridden his bike from the West Coast and seen a close friend die en route — and he needs a place to crash. Vera isn’t wearing her hearing aid, which adds to the confusion as the two argue and sort things out, then settle in for the night. Birds are singing as the lights signify the start of the next day. Leo is reading from Vera’s collection of leftist books as she returns from a funeral. “The last of my octogenarian acquaintances — he used to make passes at me,” she says. “Your mother called. I didn’t tell her you were here.” Interactions with his Minnesota parents had been strained, he’d told her. Vera is fashioned after playwright Amy Herzog’s leftist grandmother, Leepee,
whom she describes as “not grandmotherly.” Curious Theatre audiences met her several years ago in Herzog’s “After the Revolution.” Leo is based on her cousin, who lost a good friend. Vera talks to Leo about dissatisfaction with both of her late husbands … They smoke pot together. “Were my parents ever in love?” he wonders. Leo tries to reestablish a relationship with his ex-girlfriend Bec, who has moved to New York, but she’s not interested, then he brings home a girl he picked up in a bar and is making a move on her when grandma walks in on them! Things look better the next morning as he heads out for a job interview. Herzog’s engaging play was a runner-up for a Pulitzer Prize and named Best Play of the Season (2012) by Time critic Richard Zoglin. See it during its brief June run.

Outdoor painters keep things fresh
Plein air event stretches across two-day period By Sonya Ellingboe sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia.com For two sunny days, June 2 and 3, painters spread out through Littleton with easels, watercolor paint boxes, pastels, acrylics and oil paints to record what they saw in one or more particular spots in Littleton on those days. They focused on streetscapes, gardens, landscapes, historic buildings, the Littleton Museum grounds — and even an alley, which won first place. On the night of June 2, painters gathered at Littleton First Presbyterian Church to have a barbecue dinner and to get acquainted with the show’s juror, Carl Judson. Judson is a painter, teacher and author who runs a store catering to plein air artists called Judson’s Art Outfitters in LaPorte, Colorado. It carries every sort of equipment and paint available for the growing number of
painters who want to work out of doors. He arrived in Littleton in his van marked “Guerilla Painter,” a complete shop on wheels. He talked to the assembled painters about his favorite book on painting — Winston Churchill’s “Painting as a Pastime” — and said he prefers “Why Paint?” books to “How To.” He gave a fast history of plein air painting that goes back 500 years and has a wide spectrum — starting with Da Vinci and French painter Claude Lorraine, who mixed his colors out of doors at sunup and painted spectacular sunrises and sunsets. The slide he showed of a 1649 painting just glowed. The real father of plein air painting was Vallenciennes (1749), who painted the same subject at different times of day, in different seasons. (This was before squeezable tubes of paint were invented.) The Age of Enlightenment meant people looked at how things really worked and artists began to doubt the need for perspective. Serrusier, Vuillard and Whistler were rebels. Judson continued with slides as examples, on into abstract painters, foliage painters and those who were interested in architecture
— and everything else in the world around them. On June 3, painters brought in finished work to Littleton’s Depot Art Gallery in the afternoon and Judson named four winners and five honorable mentions. Remarkably, framed paintings were on the walls by 5 p.m. and First Friday viewers began to arrive. • First place: Tim Peterson’s striking, strong watercolor, “Front Range Back Alley.” • Second place: Bob Spille’s oil painting, “Before the Court Convenes,” a view of the historic Littleton Courthouse on Littleton Boulevard. • Third place: Harold Deist’s soft oil painting “Garage in Shadow.” • Guerilla Painter Award of Excellence: Betsy Buckner’s pastel, “Monastery Madness.” • Honorable mentions went to Rita Bhasin, Lucy Strupp, Shirley Bales, Clare Scott and Robert Ellert. Unfortunately the show is over before press time. Since the response was so enthusiastic, I’m certain the event will be repeated in 2017.
Women show art in Parker gallery Paintings, mosaics, sculptures, ceramics in summer exhibition By Sonya Ellingboe sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia.com On the evening of June 9, 14 creative women gathered with friends and clients to view a new exhibit: “WOW Works of Women,” which runs through July 30 in the Deep Space Gallery in Parker. Organized by Toni Brock, the show includes artworks by Brock, Andrea Hoehn, Barbara Cohen, Barbara Wilson, Carm Fogt, Diane Rapissi, Jo Ann Nelson, Julie Manson, Kristine Orr, Marlene Sanderson,
Melanie Warsinske, Sherry Sherman, Sue Peck and Tomiko Takeda. In addition to a variety of painting techniques, the visitor will find mosaics, sculpture, ceramics and more. These women are recognized for a commitment to art through the years in their own work and for helping other female artists develop their careers by teaching, sharing advice — and exhibit space and opportunities. Figurative art, abstraction, paintings of animals, landscapes, portraits and more are on the walls, some telling stories and others expressing an emotion, perhaps, or a humorous situation. Included is Takeda’s “The Red

Future is now for area’s best Top local baseball players compete at Coors Field By Jim Benton jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com It was bound to happen in the Colorado Rockies’ All-Star/Futures Game. The game was held June 6 at Coors Field and pitted a team of graduating seniors against and an underclass club assembled from some of the state’s best players from a variety of different classifications. So teammate vs. teammate was a possibility, and it happened when junior catcher Andrew Chavez of Cherry Creek came to the plate and hit against a former battery mate in Bruins’ pitcher Nate Sweeney, who will be going to Arizona to study and play baseball. Chavez singled off Sweeney, who was summoned from shortstop to pitch for two-thirds of an inning. He only allowed the hit to Chavez. “It felt good,” Chavez said. “It’s just funny that I know him so much. I know his pitches. I know he likes to come in a little bit on people and that’s what I did. I got ahead of the pitch and put it down the line. It’s a great experience to play here in a big league ball park.” The seniors scored a run in the bottom of the ninth to earn a 5-5 tie against their underclass counterparts in an entertaining game with wood bats that interrupted a busy schedule of club baseball for most of the players. “We’re playing a lot of games, a lot of out-of-state games,” said Chavez who is playing for Cherry Creek’s U18 Connie Mack team. “It’s going to be a lot of baseball. We’ve played 15 games already. My goal will be to keep doing what I’m doing now: hitting the ball and getting runners in. And there’s always something to improve on.”
Valor Christian third baseman Luke Ziegler, a sophomore on the Underclass team, waits for a throw as Rocky Mountain’s Chris Diehl slides into third base with a triple during the Colorado Rockies High School All-Star/Futures game held June 6 at Coors Field. Ziegler went 1-for-3 and scored a run but the Seniors rallied for a run in the bottom of the ninth to earn a 5-5 tie. Photo by Jim Benton Ralston Valley junior outfielder Levi Leisenring tripled in the third inning and scored the first run for the underclass team. “It was special,” said Leisenring, whose sophomore brother Luke was also on the team. “I got to play with some guys I hadn’t played with before. Getting to play in this game is a privilege so it was nice. “It was my fourth game in a week. I play (club ball) for the Rough Riders. We will play 60 games this summer and we will play in South Carolina, Atlanta and Arizona. It’s going to be a busy one.”
Heritage sophomore Riley Egloff, who will play for Creek’s summer team, relieved in the ninth inning and almost worked out of a jam, but a bloop hit over the pitcher’s mound drove in the tying run for the Seniors. “It was amazing to play here,” Egloff said. “It’s nerve wracking to be a reliever. It’s scary. But, I love to come in and keep the game alive.” For the seniors, Sweeney, Green Mountain’s Wyatt Featherston and Ralston Valley’s Peter Carlson were on the roster, and those three players combined to go 0-for-5 but Carlson did
score one of his team’s runs. There were nine players and three pitchers from local schools on the underclass roster. Levi Leisenring, Rock Canyon’s Matt Givin, Luke Ziegler of Valor Christian, ThunderRidge’s Brody Perkins and Cherry Creek second baseman Cody Schultz each had one hit in the game for the underclassmen. Besides Egloff, Ralston Valley’s Drake Davis and Davis Heller of Valor Christian pitched for the underclass team. Davis and Heller each worked scoreless innings.
Should he stay or should he go? Griffin Jax knew about the demands of attending the Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs. Now the Minnesota Jim Benton Twins will be OVERTIME demanding a decision from Jax, a right-handed pitcher for the Falcons, after he was drafted as the 93rd overall pick in the third round of the Major League Baseball Amateur Draft on June 10. Jax was drafted by the Philadelphia Phillies in the 12th round of the 2013 draft as a senior at Cherry Creek High School, but drew more addition attention from big league scouts after a banner 2016 collegiate season. However, from a statement released by the Air Force Academy, it appears Jax has already made a decision. “I am grateful to the Minnesota Twins organization for believing in me and allowing me to fulfill my dreams of serving my country and having the opportunity to play baseball at the highest level,” Jax said. “I look forward to completing my education at the Air Force Academy this next
year and exploring my options after graduation.” If he does turn down the Twins’ offer — which likely would include a signing bonus of more than $600,000 — he can play for Air Force next season and hope he is again drafted. The signing deadline is July 15. After his two-year military commitment he will be able to play professional baseball but he will be 24 years old. Jax was the co-Mountain West Conference Pitcher of the Year in the 2016 season with a 9-2 record and was the league leader with a 2.05 earned run average and was second with 90 strikeouts. He pitched 105.2 innings with six complete games and two shutouts. He was twice the MWC Pitcher of the Week and compiled streaks of 24.1 and 23 innings without an earned run during the season. Dalbec helps Arizona advance Bobby Dalbec, the former Legend High school baseball and basketball player, was picked by the Boston Red Sox as a third baseman in the fourth round of the draft. But is the Arizona junior a third baseman or pitcher? Dalbec helped the Wildcats earn a College World Series berth starting June 18 in Omaha with two noteworthy performances
in upsetting Mississippi State in the Super Regional in Starkville, Mississippi. He started the opening game, worked out of trouble early when the Bulldogs left seven runners on base but pitched 8 2/3 innings of shutout baseball in a 1-0 win. In the next game, he belted a solo home run and went 2-for-4 with two runs batted in while playing third base in the Wildcats’ 6-5, 11-inning victory which sent Arizona packing to Omaha. Dalbec hit .319 with a teamleading 53 RBIs as a sophomore while going 3-7 on the mound with five saves. His hitting tailed off this season but he has proved to be valuable as a pitcher. He is hitting .271 with seven home runs and 39 RBI for the 2016 season but is 10-4 on the mound with seven saves and a 2.93 ERA.
Nick Shumpert, who played at Highlands Ranch and San Jacinto, a junior college in Texas, was picked in the 28th round by the Atlanta Braves. Ex-ThunderRidge player Brody Westmoreland, now at the College of Southern Nevada, went to the Houston Astros in the 30th round. Tyler Honahan, a 2012 Legend graduate who played at Stony Brook University in New York, was tabbed in the 36th round by the New York Yankees. Two 2016 graduates were chosen. Nate Sweeney of Cherry Creek, who has signed to play at Arizona, was picked by the Chicago Cubs in the 33rd round and Green Mountain’s Wyatt Featherston, who is committed to play at Western Kentucky, was the 34th-round pick of the Colorado Rockies.
More local players drafted Besides Jax and Dalbec, six other players with ties to local schools were selected in the MLB draft. Right-handed pitcher Max Kuhns, who graduated from Chaparral and plays for Santa Clara University in California, was tabbed in the 21st round by the New York Mets. During the 2016 season, Kuhns was 1-4 with 14 saves and a 2.21 earned run average.
Former Littleton basketball star dies Former Littleton High School basketball star and ex-Texas-San Antonio men’s basketball coach Brooks Thompson passed away last week at age 45. Thompson led Littleton to a 24-0 record and the 1989 Class 4A state championship. He played college basketball at Texas A&M and Oklahoma State and was a two-time All-Big Eight player for the Cowboys.
He was drafted by Orlando as the 27th pick of the 1994 NBA draft. He played for Orlando, Utah, Denver, Phoenix and New York during his four-season NBA career. Thompson’s best season was with the Nuggets in 1996-97 with the Nuggets when he averaged 6.8 points and 2.8 assists while playing in 65 games. No cause of death was reported but Thompson had been suffering with double organ failure in recent months. Valor golfers finish eighth, ninth Tim Amundson and David Leede, who played last season for Valor Christian, were the top local finishers at the American Junior Golf Association’s Hale Irwin Colorado Open, which was held June 6-9 at Highlands Ranch Golf Club. Amundson, who will attend Colorado Mines in the fall, finished eighth on the par-72 course with a 4-under-par 212 total after rounds of 69, 72, 71. Leede was ninth at 214 following rounds of 74, 70 and 70. Jim Benton is a sports writer for Colorado Community Media. He has been covering sports in the Denver area since 1968.

Pirates test their skills on the field Englewood players participate in summer scrimmage By Tom Munds tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia.com The pop of pads on the gridiron replaced the traditional summer sports sound of a bat hitting a ball on June 10 as Englewood held its summer scrimmage against Littleton and Lincoln. “We are experienced in the backfield but we are light up front. The kids worked hard during summer camp. They worked their tails off and we are looking pretty good,” Pirates coach Jay Graves said near the end of the scrimmage. “I saw some good things in the scrimmage and we saw some things we need to work on to correct.” He said the early summer camp and scrimmage are a great way to see how our kids shape up against other teams. He said the coaches hope to use the summer camp and scrimmage as a starting point when the teams begin practice for the upcoming season. Graves said 33 Englewood athletes attended the summer camp and scrimmage. He said he hopes to have another eight to 10 players join the team when official practice starts in August so the Pirates can have two full teams this season. Englewood coaches got an opportunity to see their two quarterbacks, junior Bock Breazeale and sophomore Scott Barry, in action against opponents. Other returning veterans who played well included Daryl Culbreath, Same Westra and Derek Demilt. The veterans and just about all the offensive starters are inked in as starters when the Pirates are on defense. Barry’s father played for Englewood several years ago and the sophomore smiled and said he there was a lot of pressure being the son of a Pirate player. “My dad played here so the coaches know the potential and my challenge is

said he likes all three sports but he likes football best because he gets the chance to block and tackle opponents. Coach Graves noted this will be a different season for the Pirates as Englewood is now in Class 2A for football. They are in one of the two six-team divisions of the Class 2A Conference A
League. There will be new opponents like Machebeuf but they also are in the same league as rival Elizabeth. The Pirates open the season at home on Sept. 2 in a non-league game against Jefferson. The homecoming game this year will be played Sept. 30 with a return clash against longtime rival Sheridan.

Cycling festival provides miles of fun C Elephant Rock event brings out participants of all ages, skill levels By Jim Benton jbenton@colorado communitymedia.com The Subaru Elephant Rock Cycling Festival ushers in the cycling season in Colorado every June. There were an estimated 6,000 participants June 5 for the 29th annual Elephant Rock that started and finished at the Douglas County Fairgrounds in Castle Rock. Riders were on mountain and road bikes, recumbent and tandem bikes and other contraptions. Partakers of all ages could choose from one of five courses depending on their abilities. Many participants rode on either the 100mile Century course or the 62-mile Metric Century over the rolling hills and countryside. There was also a 40-mile road course, a 27-mile gravel course and the 8-mile family course. “Since it started, it has essentially been sort of the every-man’s ride, so we have courses for everybody,” said Scot Harris, who has been the event director for all 29 years. “It’s always been kind of the kickoff to the season.
“This year’s participation is almost identical to last year, which is going to be just a hair shy of 6,000, but we haven’t got the actual numbers of registrants from today (June 5). Our record year was in the mid-7,000s. It flattened out a little in the past five years but it is still the largest cycling event in the Rocky Mountain region. Our first year was 1,200 participants so it’s grown steadily.” Paula Dutenhoeffer, a Castle Rock resident and Douglas County High School graduate, toured the family course with her husband Troy and children. She also drew a lot of attention because she was riding an Elliptigo bike, which combines the motion of an indoor elliptical trainer with the outdoor mobility of a traditional bike. “We got comments the whole course,” Troy Dutenhoeffer said. “Kids dragging behind would go `Wow, what was that?’ And then their dad was going, `We’ve got to get mom one of those.’ ” Plantar fasciitis forced Paula Dutenhoeffer to get an Elliptigo. “I used to run and I ended up with plantar

The Elliptigo still gives me that feeling of running, but with my aching feet it will let me keep up with my kids on their bikes. It’s kind of a nice hybrid for me.” Tom Danielson, a Longmont resident and Cinch Cycling owner who once finished eighth overall in the Tour de France, rode the 100-mile course at the Elephant Rock and said he has seen a change in cycling over the past few years. “The sport over the last years has grown a lot, but it is changing,” Danielson said. “Initially, it grew a lot in the racing and the race community and then there was this shift where it wasn’t the racers buying the bikes and participating in cycling. It ended up being that working person who has a job or owns a business or is a pretty highlevel professional that is participating. “You really see it here at the Elephant Rock, where it’s 1,000 times
bigger than the general race, but the cool thing is the mentality is the same. People love the challenge. You need a start line and finish line and then a goal in between it, and that’s what these people love. You have to be content with yourself and the challenge.” Danielson said Elephant Rock is an event that makes cycling special. “Whether it’s the time or a position or overall performance, you are always a champion when you cross the finish line, and that part of the sport is what makes cycling special,” he said. Harris saw a new generation, along with longtime participants, in this year’s Elephant Rock. “We probably have 2,000 people ride the 100-mile course, so it’s a real variety of riders,” he said. “We have people that rode that first year that have kids and now have been back on their bikes and jump in after 20 years. And we have people that have ridden every single one.”

Co-op standout makes her points Davis, of Chaparral squad, is South Metro Girls Lacrosse Player of the Year

By Jim Benton jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com Lexi Davis followed in her family’s footsteps when she decided to play lacrosse. Davis, a senior at Ponderosa who played for the Chaparral co-op team, impressed many people on the lacrosse field and earned a scholarship to Longwood University in Virginia. She is the Colorado Community Media South Metro Girls Lacrosse Player of the Year. Davis was the Continental League’s Most Valuable Player and led the league with 94 points on 55 goals and 39 assists, the most in the league, for Chaparral which finished with a 10-6 overall record. “I have played almost every sport,” Davis said. “I played basketball and softball growing up, but my dad, my uncles
and all my guy cousins played lacrosse growing up, so I wanted to that too. And my dad coached me a little bit when I was younger and he also coached this year in high school so I really wanted to fol-
low in all their footsteps.” In April, Davis scored 14 goals and had 22 points in back-to-back games against Valor Christian and Heritage/Littleton. She finished her high school career as
Chaparral’s all-time leading scorer with 282 points on 161 goals and 121 assists. Last season, she was sixth in the state in points, fourth in assists and 10th in goals. In six league games, Davis averaged 7.7 points a game with 25 goals and 46 points. “I didn’t achieve my final goal because I wanted to get to 50-50 (goals and assists),” she said. “ I got All-State (CHSAANow.com) this year, All-American (U.S. Lacrosse High School All-American), league Player of the Year and those were all things I wanted to achieve by the time I graduated from high school, so I’m pretty happy with what I did.” Davis didn’t mind commuting to Chaparral from Ponderosa for practices with the co-op team. “I thought the season went really well and I really liked the team I played with,” she said. “It was better on the field and off the field because I met so many players from other teams. Playing on a co-op team is a great way to meet new people.”

By Jim Benton jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com Davis Heller, with help from his friends, turned in a remarkable season for Valor Christian’s state championship baseball team. Heller was a freshman, showed steady improvement in his first season of varsity action and has been named the Colorado Community Media South Metro Pitcher
of the Year. He was 10-0, the most wins for Class 4A pitcher in the state. Heller finished with a 2.24 earned run average and struck out 55 batters in 50 innings pitched. “Everything was a little nerveracking at the beginning, being a freshman, but I definitely settled in towards the end,” said Heller. “It was just my teammates telling me constantly that they had my back. “Whenever I struggled a little bit they would always give me run support to help me settle back in and hopefully do whatever I could to win the game. It was ultimately my
teammates having my back and my coaches having my back that was the biggest thing for me.” In the 10 games that Heller won, the Eagles averaged 10 runs, and he didn’t expect to have an unbeaten campaign as a freshman. “No not at all,” he answered. “I was just trying to do my best and whatever I could for my team this year. We ended up winning the state title and that was the ultimate goal for us. “I felt pretty good. I definitely felt a lot more confident and relaxed towards the end of the season. I could have my teammates’ back.”
Salomess Stars Salome FOR RELEASE WEEK OF JUNE 13, 2016 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) A heads-up alert to all free-spirited Ewes and Rams: Be wary of a deal that could result in compromising your independence. Check every detail before making a commitment. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) New facts emerge that help put an irksome workplace situation in perspective. Meanwhile, pay more attention to a family member who needs your wisdom and strength. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) A slight setback in plans is nothing to worry about. Use this delay to deal with a number of matters you might have ignored for too long. Expect news from someone in your past. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) You’re entering a period of stability. Use it to straighten out any outstanding problems related to a very personal situation. Also, pay closer attention to financial matters. LEO (July 23 to August 22) As much as you love being a social Lion, you might well benefit from staying out of the spotlight for a while. You need time to reflect on some upcoming decisions. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) A difficult family situation improves, thanks to your timely intervention. You can now start to focus more of your attention on preparing for a possible career change.

TO SOLVE SUDOKU: Numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!
LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) An on-thejob change works to your benefit by offering new opportunities. It’s up to you to check them out. Meanwhile, a stalled romantic situation starts up again. SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) That flare-up of Scorpian temperament cools down, leaving you more receptive to suggestions about changes that might need to be made in your personal life. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) An unusual period of indecisiveness is a mite frustrating. But things soon clear up, allowing the sage Sagittarian to make those wise pronouncements again.
Answers
CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) You might feel that you know best, but it’s not a good idea at this time to try to force your opinions on others. Best advice: Inspire change by example, not by intimidation. AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Some setbacks could affect your plans to fortify your financial situation. But things start moving again by early next week. Meanwhile, enjoy your resurgent social life. PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Show that often-hidden steely spine of yours as you once again stand up to an emotional bully. You’ve got the strength to do it, especially as friends rally to your side. BORN THIS WEEK: Your ruling planet, Mercury, endows you with a gift for writing.

ant to Rule 4.A.7 of the Statewide Nontributary Ground Water Rules, 2 CCR 402-7, for any permitted or decreed well that is owned by a party other than the Applicant and authorized to withdraw water from the same aquifer, without the written permission of the owner of such well. Further, pursuant to Rule 7.3 of the SEO Rules, the maximum amount of recharged water that may be extracted from an aquifer through any one extraction well in any one calendar year shall not exceed 5 times the maximum amount of water injected into that aquifer in any one calendar year or the total amount of water previously injected into that aquifer, less any amounts previously extracted. Pursuant to Rule 7.4 of the SEO Rules, the Applicant may retain water it has artificially recharged into the aquifer indefinitely. D. Wells: Pursuant to Rule 5.7 of the SEO Rules, all wells used for injection or extraction shall be equipped with suitable totalizing flow meters, which shall be operated and maintained to measure the amount of water injected and extracted. The meters shall be installed according to the manufacturer’s recommendations and shall contain sufficient recording digits to assure that “roll over” to zero does not occur prior to accumulating a total of 999 acre-feet. At any time when a meter is not operational, the Applicant shall not inject or extract water by means of the well. Flow meters installed on existing wells authorized to withdraw naturally occurring groundwater shall be verified to be in accurate working condition prior to initiation of injection and/or extraction operations, and shall be verified to be in accurate working condition every four years thereafter. Totalizing flow meters installed on new wells to be used for injection and/or extraction operations shall be verified in the field to be in accurate working condition under the supervision of an individual or entity approved by the State Engineer every four years after the date of original installation. The State Engineer shall be notified in writing of the date and name of the person performing verifications. All totalizing flow meters shall provide an accuracy of plus or minus 5 percent. E. Relief Requested: The Applicant requests that (1) its proposed program to inject, store, and subsequently extract water in the Arapahoe Aquifer described above be specifically approved and adjudicated as a Plan for Augmentation, as defined in C.R.S. §37-92-103(9); and (2) the State Engineer be directed to issue appropriate permits for injection and extraction wells constructed and/or operated in accordance with the terms of the Plan for Augmentation herein. 7.

APPLICATION FOR PLAN FOR AUGMENTATION IN LITTLE DRY CREEK, TRIBUTARY TO THE SOUTH PLATTE RIVER. 2. Overview of Application: A. Owners. Applicant Nelson Acres, through its owners, H. William Nelson and H. Ann Nelson, seeks a plan for augmentation for replacement of stream depletions caused by out-of-priority pumping from its Nelson Well No. 1, Well Permit No. 41172-F. Stream depletions occur to Little Dry Creek, tributary to the South Platte River. B. Water Court Decree. The Nelson Well No. 1 was decreed in Water Division 1, Water Court Case No. W-6719. C. Location. The Nelson Well No. 1 is located generally in the NW1/4 of NW1/4 of Section 13, Township 5 South, Range 68 West, 6th P.M, in Arapahoe County, Colorado. See General Location Map, Exhibit A, and Well Legal Description, Exhibit B hereto. D. Source. Ground water tributary to Little Dry Creek, tributary to the South Platte River. E. Decreed Date of Appropriation. January 1, 1938. F. Amount. 250 gpm. G. Use. Supplemental irrigation source for Applicant to be used on Applicant’s property. See Exhibit A. 3. Augmentation Claim: A. Applicant will use the ground water withdrawn through the Nelson Well No. 1 as a supplemental supply to irrigate up to 10 acres of land. See Exhibit A. B. For purposes of the claimed plan, Applicant will assume that all withdrawals are out-of-priority and all stream depletions must be replaced in a manor to avoid injurious effect upon the water rights of others. 4. Estimated Stream Depletions: A. Nelson Well No. 1’s projected maximum level of pumping under this plan is 21.5 acre-feet per year. B. Because of the proximity of Nelson Well No. 1 to the stream, stream depletions occur in the same week as pumping. See Exhibit A. 5. Replacement Timing and Sources: A. Replacement Supplies. Subject to final Board of Directors approval, replacement water will be supplied by fully augmented not nontributary Lower Dawson or Denver aquifer groundwater presently owned by Southgate Water & Sanitation District and pumped directly into Little Dry Creek upstream of the point of depletion. B. Return Flows. Irrigation return flows will return to Little Dry Creek and may be used as an alternate replacement source. Applicant estimates that 10% of the water applied to irrigation will return to Little Dry Creek as return flows. 6. Application for Plan for Augmentation: A. Structure to be Augmented. The Nelson Well No. 1 pumps ground water from the alluvium of Little Dry Creek in Arapahoe County. The location of the well is described above and shown on the Location Map attached as Exhibit A. B. Summary of Diversions. Based upon estimated irrigation operations and the limitations of the replacement sources, likely monthly and annual withdrawals are shown on Table 1 attached as Exhibit C. Applicant requests the right to withdraw up to 21.5 AF/yr. C. Summary of Return Flows. Return flow credits are claimed in this application for a plan for augmentation as follows: Up to 21.5 acre-feet of water will be applied to irrigation each year. Approximately 10% of such water will directly run-off or percolate and return to Little Dry Creek. Thus, Applicant claims up to 2.1 acre-feet per year as return flow credit. D. Stream Depletions. Stream depletions under this plan equal the amount of out-of-priority water that is withdrawn by the well minus credit allowed for return flow accretions to the stream. E. Replacement: Applicant intends to make full replacement of its stream depletions on a monthly basis through direct discharge of fully augmented not nontributary Lower Dawson or Denver aquifer groundwater. Such replacement water will be discharged into Little Dry Creek at a location upstream of the point of depletion. 7. Post-Operation Stream Depletions: Once pumping of the Nelson Well No. 1 permanently ceases, stream depletions will cease as well as a result of the proximity of the well to the stream system. Accordingly, there is no need to deliver any augmentation water to cover post-pumping depletions. The augmentation water delivered during the last month of pumping will fully replace post-pumping depletions. 8. Summary of Plan Operation: A. Withdrawals of Ground Water: The Nelson Well No. 1 is completed in the alluvium of Little Dry Creek, and withdraws water for irrigation purposes at a decreed rate of flow of 250 gpm. The Nelson Well No. 1 is located next to the stream, and stream depletions caused by these withdrawals occur within the same week as pumping. B. Consumptive Use: Consumptive use of the water withdrawn is caused primarily by land application for irrigation. An analysis of current irrigation practice indicates that approximately 90% of the amount of water applied is consumed, and approximately 10% of such water applied returns to the stream from either direct runoff or deep percolation. C. Replacement of Depletions: Out-of priority stream depletions, as defined above, will be fully replaced with lawn irrigation return flows and direct discharge of fully augmented not nontributary Lower Dawson or Denver aquifer groundwater. 9. Proposed Terms and Conditions: A. Tributary water diverted and pumped from the Nelson Well No. 1 will be limited on a monthly basis to an amount of water calculated to be available based upon available replacement water. B. Applicant will perform all necessary accounting functions and make reports to the Division Engineer as requested. C.

acres of land. See Exhibit A. B. For purposes of the claimed plan, Applicant will assume that all withdrawals are out-of-priority and all stream depletions must be replaced in a manor to avoid injurious effect upon the water rights of others. 4. Estimated Stream Depletions: A. Nelson Well No. 1’s projected maximum level of pumping under this plan is 21.5 acre-feet per year. B. Because of the proximity of Nelson Well No. 1 to the stream, stream depletions occur in the same week as pumping. See Exhibit A. 5. Replacement Timing and Sources: A. Replacement Supplies. Subject to final Board of Directors approval, replacement water will be supplied by fully augmented not nontributary Lower Dawson or Denver aquifer groundwater presently owned by Southgate Water & Sanitation District and pumped directly into Little Dry Creek upstream of the point of depletion. B. Return Flows. Irrigation return flows will return to Little Dry Creek and may be used as an alternate replacement source. Applicant estimates that 10% of the water applied to irrigation will return to Little Dry Creek as return flows. 6. Application for Plan for Augmentation: A. Structure to be Augmented. The Nelson Well No. 1 pumps ground water from the alluvium of Little Dry Creek in Arapahoe County. The location of the well is described above and shown on the Location Map attached as Exhibit A. B. Summary of Diversions. Based upon estimated irrigation operations and the limitations of the replacement sources, likely monthly and annual withdrawals are shown on Table 1 attached as Exhibit C. Applicant requests the right to withdraw up to 21.5 AF/yr. C. Summary of Return Flows. Return flow credits are claimed in this application for a plan for augmentation as follows: Up to 21.5 acre-feet of water will be applied to irrigation each year. Approximately 10% of such water will directly run-off or percolate and return to Little Dry Creek. Thus, Applicant claims up to 2.1 acre-feet per year as return flow credit. D. Stream Depletions. Stream depletions under this plan equal the amount of out-of-priority water that is withdrawn by the well minus credit allowed for return flow accretions to the stream. E. Replacement: Applicant intends to make full replacement of its stream depletions on a monthly basis through direct discharge of fully augmented not nontributary Lower Dawson or Denver aquifer groundwater. Such replacement water will be discharged into Little Dry Creek at a location upstream of the point of depletion. 7. Post-Operation Stream Depletions: Once pumping of the Nelson Well No. 1 permanently ceases, stream depletions will cease as well as a result of the proximity of the well to the stream system. Accordingly, there is no need to deliver any augmentation water to cover post-pumping depletions. The augmentation water delivered during the last month of pumping will fully replace post-pumping depletions. 8. Summary of Plan Operation: A. Withdrawals of Ground Water: The Nelson Well No. 1 is completed in the alluvium of Little Dry Creek, and withdraws water for irrigation purposes at a decreed rate of flow of 250 gpm. The Nelson Well No. 1 is located next to the stream, and stream depletions caused by these withdrawals occur within the same week as pumping. B. Consumptive Use: Consumptive use of the water withdrawn is caused primarily by land application for irrigation. An analysis of current irrigation practice indicates that approximately 90% of the amount of water applied is consumed, and approximately 10% of such water applied returns to the stream from either direct runoff or deep percolation. C. Replacement of Depletions: Out-of priority stream depletions, as defined above, will be fully replaced with lawn irrigation return flows and direct discharge of fully augmented not nontributary Lower Dawson or Denver aquifer groundwater. 9. Proposed Terms and Conditions: A. Tributary water diverted and pumped from the Nelson Well No. 1 will be limited on a monthly basis to an amount of water calculated to be available based upon available replacement water. B. Applicant will perform all necessary accounting functions and make reports to the Division Engineer as requested. C. The plan requested herein will prevent injurious effect upon other owners or persons entitled to use water under vested or decreed conditional water rights. 10. Name and Address of Owners of Land Upon Which Water Rights Are Located: Applicant Nelson Acres. 11. Jurisdiction: The Water Court has jurisdiction over the subject matter of this application pursuant to Section 37-92-302, C.R.S. 12. Remarks: The rights requested in this application are needed to supplement Applicant’s present and future water resource demand for its on-going irrigation operations. Applicant asserts that it has such needs and is committed to developing and operating the augmentation plan requested herein. 13. Prayers For Relief: WHEREFORE, Applicant Nelson Acres requests this Court to enter a decree: A. Granting the application herein and awarding the plan for augmentation requested herein. B. Confirming the original decree and priority date for the Nelson Well No. 1 of January 1, 1938. C. Retaining jurisdiction over this matter for a period necessary to assure that the operation of the plan will not cause injury to other vested water rights. FURTHER, Applicant asks the Court grant such other relief as it deems just and proper in this matter. (4 Pages.)
ing and Sources: A. Replacement Sup-
plies. Subject to•final of Directors The Independent TheBoard Herald 31 approval, replacement water will be sup-
plied by fully augmented not nontributary Lower Dawson or Denver aquifer groundwater presently owned by Southgate Water & Sanitation District and pumped directly into Little Dry Creek upstream of the point of depletion. B. Return Flows. Irrigation return flows will return to Little Dry Creek and may be used as an alternate replacement source. Applicant estimates that 10% of the water applied to irrigation will return to Little Dry Creek as return flows. 6. Application for Plan for Augmentation: A. Structure to be Augmented. The Nelson Well No. 1 pumps ground water from the alluvium of Little Dry Creek in Arapahoe County. The location of the well is described above and shown on the Location Map attached as Exhibit A. B. Summary of Diversions. Based upon estimated irrigation operations and the limitations of the replacement sources, likely monthly and annual withdrawals are shown on Table 1 attached as Exhibit C. Applicant requests the right to withdraw up to 21.5 AF/yr. C. Summary of Return Flows. Return flow credits are claimed in this application for a plan for augmentation as follows: Up to 21.5 acre-feet of water will be applied to irrigation each year. Approximately 10% of such water will directly run-off or percolate and return to Little Dry Creek. Thus, Applicant claims up to 2.1 acre-feet per year as return flow credit. D. Stream Depletions. Stream depletions under this plan equal the amount of out-of-priority water that is withdrawn by the well minus credit allowed for return flow accretions to the stream. E. Replacement: Applicant intends to make full replacement of its stream depletions on a monthly basis through direct discharge of fully augmented not nontributary Lower Dawson or Denver aquifer groundwater. Such replacement water will be discharged into Little Dry Creek at a location upstream of the point of depletion. 7. Post-Operation Stream Depletions: Once pumping of the Nelson Well No. 1 permanently ceases, stream depletions will cease as well as a result of the proximity of the well to the stream system. Accordingly, there is no need to deliver any augmentation water to cover post-pumping depletions. The augmentation water delivered during the last month of pumping will fully replace post-pumping depletions. 8. Summary of Plan Operation: A. Withdrawals of Ground Water: The Nelson Well No. 1 is completed in the alluvium of Little Dry Creek, and withdraws water for irrigation purposes at a decreed rate of flow of 250 gpm. The Nelson Well No. 1 is located next to the stream, and stream depletions caused by these withdrawals occur within the same week as pumping. B. Consumptive Use: Consumptive use of the water withdrawn is caused primarily by land application for irrigation. An analysis of current irrigation practice indicates that approximately 90% of the amount of water applied is consumed, and approximately 10% of such water applied returns to the stream from either direct runoff or deep percolation. C. Replacement of Depletions: Out-of priority stream depletions, as defined above, will be fully replaced with lawn irrigation return flows and direct discharge of fully augmented not nontributary Lower Dawson or Denver aquifer groundwater. 9.
