Sex-offender restrictions face challenge Lawsuit fights city’s plan that would force men to move away
By Tom Munds tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia.com Four Englewood residents have filed a federal lawsuit, seek-
ing an order that would stop the city from forcing them to move out of Englewood. Brian Brockhausen, Allen Toner, Larry Cook and a onetime juvenile offender identified as S.B. are the plaintiffs. The first three are all convicted sex offenders, and S.B. was adjudicated delinquent and has to register as a sex offender. All face
the potential of being forced to move out of Englewood because of the city’s sex offender residency restriction, an ordinance that bars some offenders from living in areas covering 99 percent of the city — leaving 1 percent that currently includes no residences, the suit claims. The suit, first filed Aug. 18 in U.S. District Court, says the 2006
ordinance violates the men’s federal constitutional rights. The suit asks the court to declare that the ordinance is an after-the-fact punishment that is unconstitutional, and requests a permanent injunction barring the city from enforcing the ordinance. Brockhausen and some of his neighbors have addressed the Englewood City Council about
the ordinance, including presentations at the Aug. 15 council meeting. “I made some bad choices when I was younger,” Brockhausen told the council. “I regret those choices. Because of those choices I was sent to prison. I have completed my sentence in Lawsuit continues on Page 7

Parade punctuates event By Kyle Harding kharding@coloradocommunitymedia.com
Littleton’s 88th Western Welcome Week concluded with the Grand Parade, with thousands of people lining Littleton Boulevard and Main Street to watch. The Aug. 20 parade had about
120 entries, coming from as far away as Pueblo. They included high school marching bands, pipe and drum bands, fire trucks, military re-enactors, veterans groups, sports mascots, political campaigns and dancing horses. After the parade, visitors had the opportunity to check out dozens of vendor booths
and a variety of entertainment as part of Festival Day. Front Range Antique Power Association joined the parade with a variety of old tractors, including a 1952 John Deer Model 60 owned by David Hutchinson, of Centennial.
The Colorado education community received the news that former Englewood Schools Superintendent Roscoe Davidson passed away on Aug. 21 at his home in Lakewood with his family by his side. He was 89 years old. Davidson was born Davidson in Denver in 1927 and attended Denver Public Schools. After graduation, he chose to become an Davidson continues on Page 7

HELLO
... My Name Is
A glimpse of the people in our community
AARON VARCASIO Crossfit coach, travel lover About me I grew up in New York, but I moved to Colorado six years ago and became a Crossfit coach. I coach at and manage a gym in Littleton. I wanted something different, and I’d traveled to Colorado a few times and had friends out here. One thing led to another and I decided to move out. Why Crossfit? I started doing Crossfit because I needed to drop about 15 pounds to join the Navy. I made weight but I got medically discharged. I dropped the weight,
and it felt great. I was doing Crossfit five days a week. I’ve been a personal trainer since 2007 and I got certified as a Crossfit instructor in 2011. It’s been a heck of a ride and I’ve met a lot of great coaches, and I want to teach people the way I was taught. Hobbies I like obstacle course racing and hiking. I spend time with my wife and friends as much as I can. Traveling is a big thing; if I could do more traveling I’d be a happier man. I also like writing and reading. I was an English major and I contribute articles to a workout website once a month.

Littleton woman shares secret of living to 105 Bow Mar South residents gather to celebrate neighbor’s milestone
By Kyle Harding kharding@coloradocommunitymedia.com Louise Donner has a secret for longevity. “Take up a sport and play all you can,” she says. Donner, or Mimi, as her neighbors call her, was joined on her 105th birthday on Aug. 19 by dozens of neighbors, who stood in the rain in her driveway in the Bow Mar South neighborhood to sing “Happy Birthday.” As a teenager, Donner picked several sports to play, including golf, in which she won amateur championships, and tennis, which she continued playing
every day until recently. “I played with her up until she was 100,” said her friend Kim Clark, who helped arrange the surprise gathering for Donner. Donner had lived with her husband in New Jersey and moved to Colorado after his death about 15 years ago. She has three children, including one living in the Colorado Springs area, and many grandchildren and great-grandchilden. Neighbors talked about seeing her cycling around the neighborhood. She still rides, but recently switched to a three-wheeled bike. “She’s just so inspiring,” said neighbor Mackenzie McCoy. Donner loves children, and the neighborhood kids gave her homemade cards and flowers for her birthday. “Everybody loves her,” Clark said. “What’s not to like about Louise?” added neighbor Jan Hormuth.

Cheryl Lebfrom and her 4-year-old partner Bethany Aldemand join the other dancers on the floor during the Aug. 16 RiverPointe Swing Dance. With music from the big band era provided by The Dean Bushnell Orchestra, the event was a hit for visitors to Western Welcome Week.
Weather doesn’t dampen dance Attendees, band ignore heavy rain during RiverPointe event By Tom Munds tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia.com The rumble of thunder and the pounding of rain on the tent had little impact on the lighthearted atmosphere of the spectators and participants gathered Aug. 16 for the RiverPointe Swing Dance. The huge white tent set up adjacent to RiverPointe Senior Community at 5335 S. Prince St. provided shelter from the heavy but fast-moving rain storm. A few folks moved farther under the tent but otherwise those gathered could
dance or sit while the Dean Bush Orchestra played big band era music. About 150 people occupied most of the seats in the several rows of chairs at the edge of the dance floor while a couple dozen pairs danced rhythmically around the floor to the music of the 1940s and early 1950s. RiverPointe residents Lucille and Bill Pepper sat out the more upbeat numbers but came out on the floor for several slow songs. “We can’t dance as much as we used to but we still like to dance,” Lucille, 89, said. “I met Bill at a barn dance more than 70 years ago and for many, many years we went out dancing every chance we got.” Her husband agreed.
“I was in the Canadian Navy when I met Lucille,” said Bill, 93. “When I went to that dance, I looked for the best dancer who was also the best-looking girl in the place and asked her to dance. That is how we met. That was more than 70 years ago and we are still dancing.” The crowd on the dance floor thinned a bit for faster songs, then grew to almost a floor full of dancers when the waltz and other slower songs were played. During a break in the music, Leonard and Lana Leyba smiled as they talked about how much they liked to dance. “We have been dancing together for 25 years or more,” Lana said. “As a matter of fact, we met at a dance. We really love the music they are playing tonight.

We would encourage those of you who enjoy the many events to stop in and tell these sponsors how much you enjoyed this year’s celebration and thank them for their participation.
CELEBRATING 88 YEARS WESTERN WELCOME WEEK
The Western Welcome Week Board wishes to thank our sponsors for their generous support during the 88th celebration. GRAND SPONSORS
We used to go dancing a lot where there were places playing this type of music. But now our dancing is down to a couple times a year because this dance and one other are the only places we can dance to the music we really enjoy.” Many of the couples were senior members of the community, but there were some younger people out on the floor, like Britta Conway and her son, Brendan. “I love to dance to this music, but I guess that is natural because I am the orchestra leader’s daughter,” Britta said. “I went with Dad and the orchestra a lot and I learned to dance to their music. I am trying to help my sons learn to dance the classic dances you do to Dad’s music.”

School board to ask voters for funding District OKs ballot questions for bond issue, mill levy override By Tom Munds tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia.com The Englewood School Board voted unanimously on Aug. 16 to place requests for a bond issue and mill levy
override on the November ballot. Voters will be asked to approve the sale of $97.5 million in bonds to rebuild the district’s four aging elementary school buildings and the district’s Early Childhood Education Center. The mill levy override would add 3.201 mills to the property tax mill levy dedicated to the schools. The mill levy increase would add about $1.5 million per year to the school district’s operating budget, to
be used for day-to-day operations. If passed, both measures would trigger an increase in property taxes. District estimates say that if voters approve the $97.5 million bond issue, property taxes for homeowners would increase about $55 per year per $100,000 of assessed valuation. It is estimated that approval of the mill levy increase would cost homeowners about $25 per year per
$100,000 of assessed valuation. With board approval for placing the two issues on the November ballot, proponents began forming the Citizens for Englewood Schools organization. Duane Tucker, former school board president, and Vanessa Fritzsche volunteered to head the organization that will be working to enlist voter support for the two school financial ballot issues.
Police ID person of interest in report of disturbing comments to kids Staff report Englewood police are reporting that they have identified a person of interest following a report that a man driving a van had made disturbing and inappropriate comments to schoolchildren near Baker Park
in northwest Englewood. The incident occurred Aug. 15, near Wesley Avenue and Zuni Street. Several elementary students, after having been dropped off by their school bus, were allegedly approached by an adult man who made troubling comments.

educator, following in the footsteps of his parents who were University of Denver professors. He spent more than 60 years as a public school educator in positions including teacher, principal and superintendent of schools and deputy director of the Colorado Department of Education. He also was a DU adjunct professor for 20 years. After leaving his last official public school post in Sheridan, Davidson was an avid volunteer with the Englewood and Sheridan districts and with the Englewood Education Foundation. Longtime family friend and Englewood educator Melody Henson said Davidson inspired all the individuals around him to rise to a higher level of character and performance. “When I was living in Texas in 1983, I heard from a respected school superintendent a man named Roscoe Davidson was the best superintendent in the entire state of Colorado,” she said. “Since the quality of leadership determines the future of any organization, I knew then that I had to find Roscoe and Englewood. I am one of the many thousands of indi-

prison and was paroled in 2014. I returned to our family home and registered as a sex offender. I want to stay in my home.” Several neighbors told the council that Brockhausen was a good member of the neighborhood and that the ordinance was unfair.
The students reported the interaction to their parents, who then reported the incident to the Englewood police. Police reached out to local news media with a description of the report and a photo of the man in an effort to determine his identity.
By the morning of Aug. 18, police were reporting that the person of interest — whose name has not been released — had been identified and detectives were working to determine what had occurred. “Because of the media and public’s help, we received
numerous tips and have identified the person of interest,” the police department said in a news release. “The Englewood Police Department would like to thank the partnership we have with the media in spreading the word.”
viduals whose lives Roscoe significantly and positively impacted and I will always be indebted to him.” Davidson earned his bachelor’s degree in education from the University of Denver and began his teaching career in Denver Public Schools. He was a teacher, school principal and district administrator for Denver until he left the district in 1977 to accept the post of Englewood Schools Superintendent, a position he held for 22 years. In 1991 he was named Colorado superintendent of the year. The year he retired, 1999, the district offices became the Roscoe L. Davidson Administration Building. Soon after his retirement, he was asked to take a temporary position at the Colorado Department of Education to oversee a special project. As the project was nearly completed, the CDE deputy director became ill and Davidson agreed to “fill in temporarily.” He served as deputy director for four years and again retired in 2005. But two years later, he returned to public education as he accepted the position of Sheridan Schools superintendent. He again retired in 2008. “Retirement is just fine but I just enjoy teaching and what I do,” Davidson said in 2009 as he reflected on his multiple retirements. “I will stay with it as long
as I feel a can continue to help students prepare for their careers.” In addition to public education, Davidson was an adjunct professor at the University of Denver from 1977 to 1997. In 1997, he received the DU Evans Award, given to a distinguished alumnus or alumna who has demonstrated achievement in his or her profession, offered humanitarian service to the community and demonstrated continuing interest in the university. It is the highest award the alumni association bestows, and other recipients include former U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and former Colorado Gov. John Love. In 2010 he was named Englewood Citizen of the Year. About 150 family members, educators and friends attended the ceremony. Selwin Hewitt, former school board member, said Davidson reached out to students who didn’t do well in traditional school by guiding the formation of Colorado’s Finest Alternative High School, the first school of its kind in the state. After nine people had spoken, Davidson took the microphone. He said he was honored by this and the other awards but there should be a whole lot more names on the plaques. “I am so honored and humbled to receive this award that I don’t feel I de-
serve. Many of you have kindly referred to all that was accomplished while I was the school superintendent. It is true we did make some strides and awards were presented in recognition of our success,” Davidson said. “However, it seems awards always go to the leaders. In my case, my name is on many of these awards, but the honors really go to those I worked with and it should be their names on the plaques.” At the 2010 ceremony, he said he was overwhelmed that so many people said so many nice things about him. “The comments I heard tonight inspire me to go out and live up to what was said,” he said. Apparently he was still hard at work. Henson said she had coffee with him a week or so before his death and he was outlining to her all the projects he planned to undertake. Davidson is survived by his wife, Mary Jo, daughters Ann and Jean, stepchildren Mark Wilson, Scott Wilson and Julie Lippincott, two grandchildren and four stepgrandchildren. The family is planning a memorial service in September. It is the family’s request that in lieu of flowers, contributions be made to a charity of the donor’s choice in Davidson’s name.
Councilmember Laurett Barrentine said she thought the ordinance didn’t apply to Brockhausen because he first moved to the city in 1988 — prior to the 2006 ordinance — and has maintained his home as his permanent address, even when he served his sentence for a sex offense. “I thought action against Brian was to be put on hold because the council stated they wanted to see if the ordinance should be changed,” she said. The council later considered a moratorium on enforcement of the ordinance, but
that did not pass. The ordinance reportedly could impact as many as 50 current residents, and comments at the council meeting indicated the city would continue to enforce the ordinance and would send letters in the next couple weeks giving offenders 30 days to move out of Englewood or be arrested. Three days after the council meeting, the attorney for Brockhausen, Toner and Cook filed the federal lawsuit. The attorney, Alison Ruttenberg of Boulder, will try to block enforcement of
the ordinance pending the court’s decision. “The trial date for the lawsuit could be months away,” she said on Aug. 19. “So I will file a motion early next week to ask for a preliminary injunction. If the court grants the injunction, it prohibits enforcement of the ordinance until the court hears and rules on the suit seeking a permanent injunction.” She said she hopes to get a hearing on the preliminary injunction in the next couple weeks.

Lone Tree resident led heroin ring, indictment says Drugs, gun, cash seized during arrest at apartment
By Josh Sumner jsumner@colorado communitymedia.com A Lone Tree man has been named in a grand jury indictment as the leader of a drug-trafficking network throughout the Denver metro area that had $2.2 million worth of heroin seized in recent raids. Jose DeJesus Bernal-Zamora was at his apartment in the 9000 block of South Yosemite Street when law enforcement officers executed a search warrant July 27, according to the indictment, which was issued Aug. 11. Officers turned up more than a kilogram of heroin, approximately 131 grams of cocaine, a 9mm Beretta pistol and $10,498 in cash during the seizure. “The drug epidemic is still going on, and it’s going to continue,” said Lone Tree interim police Chief Ron Pinson, whose agency was not involved in the operation. Pinson said the popularity of heroin has risen during his more than 25 years in law enforcement. “When I was on the road, you didn’t see heroin,” said Pinson. “If you ran across heroin, it was a surprise. Now, it’s prevalent.” The raid was part of Operation Muchas
Pacas — an investigation that began in August 2015 as a partnership between the Drug Enforcement Administration, Denver Police Department and the West Metro Drug Task Force. “Stopping the flow and Bernalsale of dangerous drugs in Zamora Colorado is a major priority of this office” Colorado Attorney General Cynthia Coffman said in a news release. “This case was a great example of federal, state and local law enforcement agencies working together to dismantle an international drug trafficking network.” In its full scope, the operation resulted in the indictments of 25 people as well as the seizure of 47 pounds of heroin, $218,712 in cash, three vehicles and 11 firearms. Bernal-Zamora faces 20 counts in the indictment. In addition to the drug-trafficking charges, he will also faces counts alleging conspiracy and money laundering. During its operation, the drug-trafficking organization transported heroin from Mexico through Arizona and into Colorado, the indictment says, adding that the group concealed the drugs in the spare tires of vehicles and in FedEx packages.

Pointing fingers and placing blame I am not sure if I can remember a time where finger pointing and blaming others has been more prevalent in all of society than it is right now. It seems easier to hide behind the mistakes of someone else or even create the mistakes of another person than it is to take ownership and to hold ourselves accountable for our own actions and words. Now I am not the first one to share this next bit of advice when it comes to pointing fingers and placing blame, and I am sure I will not be the last one to share it with you either. But we have to remember that when we point the finger of blame at someone else, there are usually three fingers on our hand pointing directly back at us. Obviously it’s the media’s fault for corrupting the election for Donald Trump. There is no question it is the previous secretaries of state who should be blamed for recommending the use of personal email accounts for Hillary Clinton. It must be the other driver’s fault for beeping their horn when we swerved into their lane while reading a text. And it is clearly the umpire’s failure to call balls and strikes accurately that leaves a batter walking back to the dugout in contempt of a called third strike. And it is never the salesperson’s fault for losing an opportunity, it must have been the prospect or customer who screwed up the deal. Even some of the elite athletes from around the globe, the world’s finest physical
specimens, were found pointing the fingers of blame on weather conditions, the city of Rio, officials, and other reasons they may have missed out on earning a medal. Now don’t get me wrong, I am not saying it’s everyone, it just seems to me that it is happening more Michael Norton and more and being accepted and even tolWINNING erated more and more WORDS as well. There is nothing like a great victory speech. I love an inspiring business leader, athlete, coach or politician who can talk about the dedication and commitment that it took to win, and do it with grace, confidence, and conviction. But I think I enjoy seeing and hearing from people who lost and who handle the loss with even more grace and courage. The business leader who finds herself sharing why the stock of the company went down, recognizes where the mistakes were made, and doesn’t place blame anywhere else but squarely upon her shoulders. The coach who says we were just outplayed and lost to a great team. The athlete who congratulates the winner and commits to working harder and preparing
better for the rematch. The salesperson who says they were simply outsold. The driver who recognizes that texting and driving is a really really really bad idea. We love to accept the accolades for success, but for many of us it is just too hard to accept the ownership of our mistakes. Maybe we do it to save face, so that we look better in front of family, friends and coworkers. Maybe we just can’t believe that we are actually capable of fault, living with the mentality of “It’s not me, it’s you.” If there were a way to keep count, track records, and give awards for making mistakes, that may be a contest that I could actually win. I sure have made my share along the way. How about you? Do you own up to your own errors and losses or are you someone who prefers to point the finger of blame at someone else? If you are, just look down and you will see three fingers pointing right back at you. I would love to hear your thoughts on finger pointing and placing blame at gotonorton@gmail.com. And when we take ownership and accountability for our own mistakes and losses, 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.

‘Smuggling’ to rise along with tobacco tax hike An initiative that may appear on Colorado’s November’s ballot would, if adopted, nearly triple the state’s current cigarette excise tax. This, we believe the evidence shows, will usher in a wave of cigarette smuggling and other undesirable Michael LaFaive consequences. Voters should think twice before adopting this tax increase. Research shows high excise taxes invite scofflaws to traffic in illicit cigarettes, encourage corruption among public officials and trigger violence against people, property and police. Todd Nesbit We created a staGUEST tistical model in 2008 to measure how many COLUMN packs of cigarettes are smuggled into or out of American states and have updated it routinely since then. In our latest analysis, which uses data through 2013, we find that Colorado has a relatively low smuggling rate of about 12 percent. Most of the smuggling comes from what we call “casual” smuggling. The casual smuggler is the Coloradan who crosses into a different city, county, state or taxing jurisdiction to buy cigarettes, or buys them online. The key is that the person buys cigarettes for his or her own use. Contrast this with “commercial” smuggling, which is an organized crime that brings in truckloads of cigarettes from distant locales to be sold illegally in Colorado. This happens all over the country — for example, cigarettes with Virginia tax

It’s funny what some people think is funny When it comes to music, one man’s Meatloaf is another man’s Poison. The same goes for humor. There isn’t a single musician or humorist that we all can agree on. The Beatles probably come close. Steve Martin probably comes close. But I am sure some of you are shaking your heads. There is music that I refuse to listen to, and there is music that I can’t get enough of. There is humor that I avoid, and there is humor that makes my day. I have a great dentist. She has a staff of 20. I spend a lot of time with them, and with their music. It’s abysmal. I don’t need an anesthetic most of the time. But I notice others tapping their feet. That’s exactly what I mean. Someone somewhere is buying Taylor Swift tickets.

I watched singers like Johnny Ray and Teresa Brewer. Then one day on “Bandstand” I saw Buddy Holly. Game on. Rave on. My mother took my sister and me to a movie house to see “Fantasia.” Bingo: Bach, Beethoven, Tchaikovsky. I sat cross-legged on the living room floor and watched Ernie Kovacs. I didn’t know the word “ingenious” yet. On date nights in high school, I dated my radio. All we had was Top 40, and it was better than nothing, but it wasn’t very inspiring. You had to dig deeper. I found out about doo-wop for one thing. I listened to the B-side of “Blue Moon,” the Marcels’ biggest hit, and thought “Most of All” was better. Doris Day movies and Jerry Lewis movies were intended, I think, to amuse me. “M*A*S*H” and “Friends” and “Seinfeld” were intended to amuse me. No, no, no, no and no. If it has a laugh track, I refuse to watch it. It’s telling me when to laugh. It’s telling me that something that isn’t funny is funny. P.G. Wodehouse was a wit. Garry Marshall, rest in peace, was not. “Happy Days” was not.

stamps have been confiscated in California. (A tax stamp is evidence that the pack is subject to the taxing authority of a particular state.) We have spent much of our working lives since 2006 studying cross-border economic activities, including crossborder tax avoidance and evasion. When cigarettes are involved, we typically call both tax avoidance and tax evasion “smuggling,” although not all tax avoidance is illegal. Using our statistical model, we have calculated what would happen if Colorado were to increase its excise tax from 84 cents per pack to $2.59 per pack. Our model tells us that smuggling would leap from 12 percent of all cigarettes consumed to a stunning 36 percent, a tripling of the smuggling rate to go with the tripling of the excise tax. Half of those smokes would come from casual smuggling and half from commercial smuggling. About half the smuggled cigarettes would be bought in from nearby states with lower excise taxes, including Wyoming, Utah, Arizona, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Kansas and Nebraska. The other half would come from more distant states, but only Kansas separates Colorado from the lowest-taxed cigarettes in the country: Missouri, which levies just 17 cents of tax per pack. It would be naive to think that smuggled cigarettes wouldn’t roll into Colorado by the truckload from Missouri and more distant states if this tax hike were adopted by voters. We are not the only scholars to calculate smuggling rates nationwide. Economist Michael Lovenheim published a study in 2008 estimating the national smuggling rate among consumers to be between 13 percent and 25 percent. Other estimates we have reviewed place national evasion and avoidance rates as low as 4 percent and as high as 21 per-

So I sat there and put up with Ralph screaming down Alice’s throat. “Why is that funny?” I asked my father. A few years later, Archie treated Edith like she was a dope. “Why is that funny?” One day I heard Louie Armstrong’s “Stardust.” Supernatural. Years later, Woody Allen used the same recording in “Stardust Memories.” Like him or not, his soundtracks are brilliant. Allen is brilliant too. Others think he is a self-absorbed creep, and probably would rather watch Kathy Griffith at midnight. I know someone who turns on her car radio, finds her favorite station, and leaves it there, no matter what. She puts up with Hall and Oates. I couldn’t do it. She puts up with Adele, Jimmy Buffett, and Garth somebody. I couldn’t do it. Here’s your homework: watch the YouTube of Steve Martin’s tribute to Paul Simon at the Kennedy Center in 2002.

cent. Studies that zero in on particular localities peg rates much higher. If the lawlessness associated with smuggling weren’t problematic enough, there are more troubles. The trade has also been associated with murder-forhire, corruption of and violence against police, brazen retail and wholesale theft of cigarettes, and even providing money for terrorists. On July 25, a New Jersey man was charged with smuggling $9.5 million worth of cigarettes. He is accused of smuggling low-tax (30 cents per pack) Virginia cigarettes into the high-tax ($2.70 per pack) Garden State for resale. Late last year, a New Jersey corrections officer was sentenced to two years for his role in smuggling cigarettes into the Essex County Correctional Facility. The lessons from these two New Jersey events should not be lost on policymakers. If officials can’t keep contraband smokes out of prisons, how could they possibly keep them from entering a state’s borders? If the proposed ballot initiative were approved, Colorado would have a tax rate nearly equal to New Jersey’s. It would also have all the smuggling related problems faced by law enforcement there. Public policy decisions require tradeoffs. Raising taxes on a good, for example, will discourage its use (an intended consequence of taxing cigarettes, but a negative one in taxing income). But it could also incentivize illegal trafficking of that good. This illegal trafficking is an unintended and costly consequence of raising cigarette taxes. Colorado policymakers, and voters, should take these consequences into account when they are deciding how much to tax these goods.

OBITUARIES MADDOX
Herbert David Maddox
Aug. 28, 1918 – Aug. 10, 2016
Colonel Herbert David Maddox
Orchestra, The Harry Snell Trio, Ice Capades, Ringling Brothers, Barnum & Bailey Circus, National Rodeo Association and many concerts through Hollywood Local 47. He was an Active Reservist and retired as Colonel in 1972 with thirty years of service to the U.S. Air Force.
August 28, 1918 – August 10, 2016 Plattsburgh – Herbert was born in Brush, Colorado to Nellie and Chet Maddox. He was the eldest of three children growing up with his sisters Dorothy DeJong and Shirley Harness in Englewood, just outside of Denver. The Maddox family were among the founders of the town of Englewood and the owners of Maddox Ice Company. Herbert was the husband of Eloise Stephens and the father of Sandra and David Maddox. Herbert was a man of many talents and excelled in three careers including decorated service in the United States Air Force, a celebrated engineer with Bell Laboratories, and a lifelong concert trombonist and union member of Hollywood Local 47, and a life member of AFM Local 16-248 serving New York City. Herbert began playing trombone at the age of seven in the Highlanders Youth Band in Englewood. By the age of thirteen he was traveling to Los Angeles, visiting his beloved aunt Olive, to perform in concerts and shortly thereafter became a member of Hollywood Local 47. He graduated in 1936 from Englewood High School , a member of the Senior Band (winners of the Award of Excellence for the Denver Music Week of that same year). He attended University of Denver for Electrical Engineering. He paid his way through college by performing with bands seven nights a week at times. Many of these performances were held regularly at Elitch Gardens in Denver and The Broadmoor in Colorado Springs among many others. During this time he sat in with the Dorsey Brothers and Duke Ellington. He graduated from DU in 1940 with a degree in his field. He pursued advanced engineering courses at MIT, Harvard and Cleveland Institute of Radio Electronics. Herbert was a slight man. He was underweight when he volunteered for service in 1942. His recruiter for the Army Signal Corps suggested he spend a week eating only bananas and drinking beer to gain the
pounds he needed. Herbert promptly spent the week in Golden Colorado at the Coors Brewery. Not surprisingly, the only beer he drank for the rest of his life was Coors Banquet Beer. After training in Monmouth, NJ he was dispatched to Bury, England to serve with the RAF. He was a member of the Electronic Training Group responsible for developing the Coastal Radar Defense System in collaboration with Sir Watson Watt, for which he received the European/African/Middle Eastern Service Medal. After a brief return to the US on leave, several members of the ETG volunteered to go back to England, but due to the attack on Pearl Harbor they were rerouted to New Guinea. In the Pacific Theater he received the American Defense Service Medal with one Bronze Star, American Service Medal Asiatic Pacific Service, and the Philippine Liberation Ribbon for his defense of Clark Field. His trombone traveled with him throughout his service in these theaters and he was a regular performer in the USO with Bob Hope. He was on leave in August of 1943 to attend a staff communications school for two weeks in Orlando, Florida. During this time he met his wife Eloise, the atomic bomb was dropped and the war ended. They were married in Englewood October 21, 1945. Two weeks later he began work at Bell Laboratories in New York City. In this position he worked on the Nike/Zeus, Sentinel, and Safeguard projects which brought Herb and his family to Winston-Salem, Los Angeles, Kwajalein Island, and White Sands. He served a portion of this time as the supervisor for the flight testing program for Douglas Aircraft. During this time period, Herbert played trombone with the Winston-Salem Symphony, The Jimmy Meyers
The family moved to Mountain Lakes, New Jersey in 1965, where Herb continued to work for Bell Laboratories in Whippany. He dedicated his time outside of work to regular performances with a variety of acts including Bob Hope, Judy Garland, Arthur Godfrey, The Captain Kangaroo Show, American Steel and Weldry Band, The Fairleigh Dickinson University Symphonic Band, and The Silver Starlight Orchestra at venues such as Radio City Music Hall, Carnegie Hall, and The Bickford Theater. He also volunteered as a coach for local softball leagues in both Mountain Lakes and Boonton. He was an ardent supporter of local athletics and actively supported his son and grandsons in their athletic endeavors in baseball, hockey, football, and luge. He was predeceased by Eloise in June of 2009. He is survived by his children Sandra Maddox, David Maddox and his partner Cindy Curran, his grandson James Dolan and his partner Penny Allen, his grandson Lawrence Dolan and his wife Leslie Cosgrove, and his great grandson Gabriel Dolan.

Families on the fast track Drag racing offers ways for all ages to compete By Tom Munds tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia.com
About 40,000 people in the world are licensed to compete in drag racing, and for many of them, racing is a family tradition. The modern sport was established in 1951 and was designed for adult drivers. But the National Hot Rod Association looked into the future for drivers and expanded its reach to the younger generation by establishing junior dragster racing in 1991. About 3,000 young people are licensed junior dragster competitors. Some metro-area families Families gather around the junior dragsters in the staging lanes during a June 24 event for the young drivers. Junior dragsters opened have two or three generations the sport to 5- to 17-year-olds making it more family friendly. In many cases, family members of junior dragsters also compete in the involved in the sport. sport. Photos by Tom Munds
The Bandimeres In the Denver area, the family drag racing tradition extends beyond the pits and the stands as Bandimere Speedway in Morrison, nicknamed Thunder Mountain, has been owned and operated by the family of the same name for 59 years. John Bandimere Sr. established the track and his son John Bandimere Jr. ran it for many years. Now the track website lists track management as Tami Bandimere Shrader, president, her dad John Bandimere Jr. as chief spiritual officer and her brother John Bandimere III as general manager and vice president of marketing. “I grew up at the track and did a lot of different jobs here with no real plans to make this a career,” Schrader said. “I graduated from high school, went to college for a year and then took secretarial courses at Barnes Business College.” She said she did secretarial work for a couple different companies for about six years. “I working for a company that was making cuts in 1987 when Dad called me,” the Littleton resident said. “He
said his secretary had just left the company and asked if I wanted the job. I took it and I have been here ever since.” Shrader said her dad stressed family involvement and treating everyone through the gate as family members. Her brother also didn’t plan to make a career of working in the family business. “I went to college to study to be an accountant, then switched my major and completed my degree in management,” said John III, nicknamed Sporty. “Dad called and said he needed some help with our auto parts business so I joined the company in 1987 and I have been here ever since.” He runs a lot of the operations but he also competes in the sport as he drives a jet dragster. “I love being a part of the family business here at the track and I love the sport of drag racing,” the Lakewood resident said. “I went to college but Dad taught me a lot about how we should learn from our mistakes, try a different path and maybe hit a home run.”
Vicky Johnson sits in the staging lanes waiting to make a timing run in her dragster. The sport is a family affair for Vicky, her husband, her daughter and her son.
The Johnsons W
John Bandimere III and his sister Tami Shrader smile for the camera in front of a funny car at Bandimere Speedway. The track is family owned and operated. The brother and sister now head the management team of the track started by their grandfather. It has been owned and operated by family members for the past 59 years.
The Johnson family of Arvada also is building a drag racing family tradition. Vicky Johnson said she was watching her dad and her brothers compete in drag racing before she started driving. “I just grew up with the sport as a spectator. But then I met my husband Steve, who is a drag racer. One weekend he asked me if I wanted to try driving. I said yes. I loved it and I’ve been behind the wheel ever since,” she said. “Our kids grew up around drag racing
and they are now involved too.” Vicky is now sharing her car with her 20-year-old daughter Bri. Vicki runs in the Fast 16 class and then, with a few changes, her daughter drives the car in the super comp class. The couple’s son Blake is 17 and racing for the final year in the junior dragsters, and his mother said he plans to complete the required classes and earn his license so he can begin competing along with his dad, mom and sister.
The Kaisers
Littleton resident Troy Kaiser, left, checks over the motor of his drag racer with the help of his dad, Junior. Troy and his two sons are involved in drag racing competition and he said he loves the sport because he gets to spend time with his family, as they all enjoy the competition.
Drag racing is a family tradition for the Kaisers, with granddad, dad and sons all competing in the sport. Troy Kaiser, a Littleton resident, followed in the footsteps of his dad, Junior, who drove in the 1960s and is still driving. Now, his sons are drivers. He said the boys have sort of taken over all his spare time as both 13-year-old Landon and 11-year-old Branson are involved in football, basketball and drag racing. “My most fun at this time in my life is being with my kids and supporting them in all they do,” he said when he joined his boys at the June 24-26 junior drag racing competition at Bandimere Speedway in Morrison. Landon said he loves all sports and while drag racing is No. 1, football is like a No. 1A on his list of favorites. “Drag racing is No. 1 because it is impossible to describe how much fun it is to be part of the sport, to get behind the wheel and go fast,” he said. “It is also special because I am able to be with my family as we all take part and share in the love of drag racing.”
The Steirs Drag racing is part of family life for the Steirs. The Lakewood family spent the June 24-26 weekend at Bandimere Speedway so that Owen, 8, and Austin, 6, could take part in the Junior Dragster races.
Christy Steirs, the young drivers’ mother, said the boys spent a lot of weekends at the track because her husband and their uncle Roy Anderson are racing competitors. “Now they are in junior dragsters,” she said.

Student show explores archetypes Museum Outdoor Arts hosts Design and Build exhibition By Sonya Ellingboe sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia.com “Archetype Revival” explores ways in which traditional archetypes can be reinvented — the theme for the 2016 class of nine Design and Build students at Museum Outdoor Arts this summer. Traditional archetypes can indeed be reinvented — and a group working together can do some really creative thinking and problem solving, both intellectually and technically. “Original Forms and players are explored: from Tarot Card characters to classical Greek Theater. The Jungian Figures — from Hero to Trickster are also redefined …,” says the program. The viewer is invited to reinvent as well. Working under the direction of Master Artist Cory Gilstrap for eight weeks, the group of college-age artists created collaborative pieces, such as “Grizzly-Oscar,” which rears up to meet the visitor just inside the gallery doors. Built on a taxidermist’s huge grizzly bear form, Oscar has a smile and a coat of cheerful plaid quilt scraps stitched together in lieu of a furry coat. The group also built “Teacup Teddy,” a bit farther in, a more approachable, smaller teddy bear type which is made from broken china cups and saucers glued over a teddy form. One immediately starts forming ideas and words to talk about the contrast. Along the walls are individual projects by each artist as well as more collaborative works: “Happy Weapons,” for example, features a group of weapons intended to kill, but delicately covered by beautiful silk flowers. Their statement comments, “By rendering the devices impractical, the piece highlights the true purpose of weaponry.” A complex assemblage of traditional forms set on and around a mantel — and painted shades of gray — is called “The Collective Unconscious,” and the explana-
“The Collective Unconscious,” a collaborative assemblage by the 2016 Design and Build Emerging Artists, refers to Carl Jung’s theories about the human psyche. It appears in the 2016 exhibit, “Archetype Revival.” Photo by Tim Vacca tion refers to Carl Jung, who “theorized the human psyche as being comprised of archetypes — universal or mythic characters, images, patterns and symbols that are models of people, behaviors and personalities, which reside in the unconscious mind and are shared among all human beings. The structure from which these archetypes arise is called the Collective Unconscious.” Plan to allow some time to visit this engaging exhibit. One needs to circle around
and make multiple visits to groups of objects and single items and contemplate the explanations given and their interrelationships. The students involved are both local and from across the country: Alyssa Edmunds, Colen Hansen, Tiffany Matheson, Kalli Padgett, Travis Powell, Emma Scher, Brennan Turner, Amanda Vela and Natasha Vidger. There is an exhibit by Design and Build alumni in the atrium: Lanka, Georges Loewenguth and Jesse Nickell.

5 DOG FACTS
1. Dogs see in color, but not the same way that we do. Veterinary ophthalmologists have found that dogs are similar to people with red/green color blindness, meaning they can see bluish and greenish shades but not reddish ones. 2. According to a recent survey, the most popular name for a dog is Max. Other popular names include Molly, Sam, Zach, and Maggie. 3. An estimated 1 million dogs in the United States have been named the primary beneficiary in their owner’s will. 4. Contrary to popular belief, dogs do not sweat by salivating. They sweat through the pads of their feet. 5. Every known dog, except the chow, has a pink tongue - a chow’s tongue is black.

5 CAT FACTS 1. Cats can see color. Studies have shown that cats can distinguish between red and green; red and blue; red and gray; green and blue; green and gray; blue and gray; yellow and blue, and yellow and gray. 2. A cat sees about 6 times better than a human at night. 3. A cat uses its whiskers as feelers to determine if a space is too small to squeeze through. 4. A cat can be either right-pawed or left-pawed. 5. A cat can jump as much as 7 times its height.

Keeping your
DOG
fit and healthy!
Article by Brandpoint For pet owners and their four-legged friends, interacting with other dogs provides great opportunities for exercise and socialization. Whether it’s playing at the dog park, hiking through the woods, strolling around town or making new friends at doggy daycare, these activities can improve your dog’s mental and physical well-being. They can also put your dog at risk for exposure to health threats. An ounce of prevention... “We all love getting out of the house with our furry friends but it’s important to remember that serious danger lurks in the grass, community water bowl or, if you travel with your dog, in another city,” advises Julia Szabo, pet lifestyle expert. “With the right knowledge, advice from your trusted veterinarian and some simple preventive measures, it’s easy to keep your dog happy and healthy.” What pet owners need to know to protect their dogs: • Ensure your dog’s vaccinations are up to date. •Always discuss your pet’s lifestyle with your veterinarian to identify potential health risks and preventive measures. •Remember to mention travel if your dog goes on the road with you, as other areas of the country may represent different health threats than what you face at home. •Keep your pet away from wild animals, as they often carry disease, and don’t allow your dog to drink from unclean water sources given that certain diseases can be spread there. • Check regularly for ticks, which will help reduce the risk of disease transmission. Lyme disease, for example, can impact your pet’s health, as well as your own.
• Fleas don’t just live on your pet; they also live in your home. Vacuuming thoroughly can kill fleas and remove their eggs, helping you stop infestations. After vacuuming, seal the vacuum bag in a garbage bag and discard it in an outdoor trash container. “Fleas and ticks are year-round hazards in many areas of the country, so it’s critical to talk to your veterinarian about choosing the right product to protect your pets from these parasites and keep them out of homes,” recommends Szabo. “BRAVECTO (fluralaner) is the only oral chew to deliver flea and tick protection to dogs for up to 12 full weeks. Bravecto kills fleas, prevents flea infestations, and kills ticks (black-legged tick, American dog tick, and brown dog tick) for 12 weeks. It also kills lone star ticks for 8 weeks.” Canine Influenza: An increasing health threat You can get the flu but did you know your dog can as well? It’s called canine influenza (CIV) - or dog flu - and cases of it have been popping up all over the country. In fact, canine influenza has impacted dogs in more than half the country - just since March 2015 - and new cases are being diagnosed every week.
“I’ve seen the devastating impact of CIV first hand - both on a dog’s health and the emotional toll it takes on owners,” said veterinarian Natalie Marks, DVM, and co-owner of the Blum Animal Hospital in Chicago. “When CIV H3N2 broke in our area, we were seeing upwards of 15 cases a day at times and were scrambling to stop the spread of this very contagious disease. Now we know what we are dealing with and are able to protect at-risk dogs through vaccination and other measures. I strongly recommend that pet owners with dogs that are social and regularly commingle with other dogs speak to their veterinarian now about what is right for their pet and to fully understand what puts a dog at risk for CIV.” If you answered yes to one or more of these questions, talk with your veterinarian to determine whether CIV vaccination is appropriate for your dog. To learn more about protection against CIV, fleas and ticks, and other pet wellness topics, please visit MyPet.com.
There are two strains of canine influenza present in the dog population - H3N8 and H3N2, the latter is an Asian strain of CIV and is brand new in the United States. Because CIV is so contagious, infection can spread quickly among social dogs. Vaccinating for both strains of CIV and minimizing exposure to potential risk factors are critical to protecting your pet. Know your dog’s risk. Does your dog: • Play at dog parks? • Visit doggie day care? • Board or stay at a pet hotel? • Visit a groomer? • Attend dog shows or other social events with dogs? •Greet other dogs during walks?

For skilled specialists, it’s a snap High school football long snappers face pressure to deliver By Jim Benton jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com While their teammates vie for accolades and adoration, long snappers typically only draw attention when a snap goes astray. “Once you mess up, people start talking about you,” said long snapper Steven Green, a Ponderosa senior. Long snappers center and deliver the football over longer distances to punters and holders for extra points and field goals. They have joined punters and placekickers as specialists on teams.
“Our position is kind of weird,” Green said. “The whole team will be together doing one thing, and three of our positions will be on the sidelines. We’ll do our own little thing by ourselves. We don’t do everything with everybody else. “If I mess up, it will be extremely bad. I’m in a more pressure position as in gamewinning field goal kicks or punts that could determine if they score again. If I mess up, it will be over his head and on the ground. If the center messes up, the quarterback can pick it up and make a play out of it.” Long snapping has become a more recognized asset for teams in recent years and there are several national camps available for players to fine-tune their skills. Major college coaches are looking to secure good
OUTLOOK Most area teams play their first game of the season on Sept. 1 or 2. Teams will play state playoff games in 16-team brackets starting Nov. 3. Championship games in 3A, 4A and 5A will be Dec. 3. The 4A and 5A title games will be a Sports Authority Field at Mile High.
high school long snappers. Division I powers Ohio State, Alabama and Notre Dame offered scholarships to long snappers over the past two years. “Long snappers are important because they have the ability in one play to change
field position,” Lakewood coach Jeff Braun said. “It is a skill that not very many have. You need someone who can snap and block simultaneously. I usually get a linebacker/fullback who can run and cover.” There are quality long snappers in Colorado high school football who are drawing interest because of their quick, accurate long snaps and ability to get down field to cover punts. Green is small for someone who plays on the line, at 5 feet 8, 175 pounds, but he has a chance to play at the next level because of his unique skill. “I’ve been coming to camps, watching videos, I’ve got a private coach and have Snap continues on Page 31
League alignments shake up tradition Many rivals will no longer be in the same conference By Jim Benton jbenton@colorado communitymedia.com High school football leagues have been realigned for the next two seasons, and many schools will be playing in new classifications and traveling to some unfamiliar territory. There will be 42 teams each in Class 5A, 4A and 3A with seven new conferences in each classification formed on an alignment based on the average computer ranking — or Ratings Percentage Index — from the past two seasons. There will be several non-familiar schools playing conference games against each other, which could make non-league games more attractive. “The new league alignments will put a strain on attendance at games,” Highlands Ranch coach Mark Robinson said.
“However, it will be good to face teams that are competitive from other areas around the state.” Westminster coach Kerry Denison agrees that game attention could shrink. “The new league alignments will destroy lower-income school programs,” he said. Castle View coach Dustin Pfeiffer said rivalries in the new alignments will be lost, although teams could still schedule non-league contests against rival schools. “The RPI system is a year away from being accurate but going to this system loses what is great about high school football,” said Pfeiffer, whose team opens the season Sept. 2 against Castle Rock rival Douglas County High School, though the teams are no longer in the same conference. “We have lost great conference traditions and as they change from cycle to cycle, you lose the natural conference rivalries. “I am not sure how our supporters
REALIGNMENT For a list of teams in each league, go to http://chsaanow.com/alignment/ football-2016-2017/
would feel if we were to travel to Rocky Mountain High School in Fort Collins for a conference title game as opposed to playing a crosstown rival for a crosstown title. It will be interesting to see how this develops over the years.” That’s an opinion expressed by several coaches. “I do not like that the leagues are no longer geographical and non-league games mean more to our student body than league games,” Rock Canyon coach Brian Lamb said. Heritage dropped from 5A and will play in the 4A Plains League. “We will line up, kick off and compete
against whoever they tell us to,” Eagles coach Tyler Knoblock said. “We are just very excited to get to be playing again soon.” Class 3A, 4A and 5A will have 10 regular-season games, with 16 teams in each division qualifying for the state playoffs, which will begin Nov. 12. Last season, there were 32 Class 5A teams that advanced to the playoffs. League winners automatically gain a spot in the playoffs and the nine teams that do not win conference titles will advance to the playoffs determined by their RPI rankings. “The good thing is the right teams are going to get into the playoffs,” said Valor Christian coach Rod Sherman. “There was some discomfort with 5A being 32 teams and all the others being 16 teams.” “To go to 16 teams, the only fair way to do it was to adjust the leagues where all of the top teams are spread out. What’s gone are natural rivalries, but you have five non-conference games.”

Continental League tees off for season

Heritage junior top individual, while Regis wins team competition By Jim Benton jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com Heritage junior Sam Blackwood had a good afternoon putting. Jackson Crist of Highlands Ranch kept the ball in the fairways. Douglas County’s David Roney saw the extra work on his driving pay off. Those three players had the top scores in the Aug. 18 Continental League golf tournament at South Suburban Golf Course in Centennial. Blackwood was the medalist with a 2-underpar 70 “I putted pretty well, got off to a good start and made a few birdies,” Blackwood said. “I made five birdies. Everything was in sync. There were no bad shots. I hit the ball well.”
Crist, a senior, bogeyed the 18th hole but finished with an even-par 72 following an impressive approach shot than wound up a foot from the cup. “On the front nine, I started off birdie, birdie,” Crist said. “I had four bogeys in the round and I made three birdies on the back nine but bogeyed my last hole. I didn’t miss a lot of fairways. I didn’t make any big numbers.” Roney, also a senior, finished with a 1-over-par 73. “I’ve been working on my drives and I kept it in the fairway,” Roney said. Regis Jesuit was first in the team standings with a four-player total of 302 strokes. Heritage was second at 304, led by Blackwood. Also for Heritage, Ryan Way had a round of 75, Jordan Phong 77 and Cam Jajaj an 82. Mountain Vista placed third with a consistent showing led by Nick Kim’s 3-over-par 75. Chris Rapp shot 77, Evan Wilkinson 78 and Elisandro Aragon 79.
Lakewood coach gets back on right track
Jim Benton
OVERTIME
Jeff Braun’s wheelchair is unoccupied these days. The Lakewood head football and assistant track coach is walking around during practice. “I am happy to be walking and not have a lot of pain in my knees,” Braun said. Braun, who enjoyed an active athletic career in the 1980s, had a grueling, eight-month battle to come back from knee-replacement surgery on both knees in December of 2015.
His recovery went well — maybe too well. He re-injured his rebuilt left knee while working out, and an infection developed in the spring. “All of a sudden that knee changed and my wife (Lisa) could tell something else was wrong,” Braun said. He had emergency surgery to get rid of the infection. “I was in a wheelchair for 10 weeks and on intravenous antibiotics for six weeks to get rid of the
infection,” Braun said. “I coached the track team from the wheelchair and started out summer football workouts in a wheelchair. In mid-June after making sure the infection was gone, they put in a new knee again. “Since then I have been rehabbing and working hard to get back to normal. I missed about a week of football right after my surgery in June but have been at practice since then and I am feeling pretty good now.”
Participation gains short yardage Concerns over the risk of concussion have left many to wonder about the future of football. But a national survey conducted by the National Federation of State High School Associations revealed a slight participation increase from 2014 to 2015. There were 24 states, including Colorado, that had an increase in 11-man football, according to

Nothing but love as Missy Franklin returns
By Alex DeWind adewind@coloradocommunitymedia.com After a tough week in Rio, Olympian Missy Franklin returned home to dozens of pink hearts with handwritten notes posted in her front yard. The 21-year-old swimmer recently posted a video on her public Instagram account with the heartfelt caption: “I am beyond blown away by this love and compassion,” she wrote. “THANK YOU to the people whose support has been unwavering, and whose love never ceases to inspire and amaze me.” Franklin, who was raised in Centennial, stole the hearts of her fans four years

When combining boys and girls participation in 6-man, 8-man, 9-man, girls and 11-player football in 2015, the combined numbers nationally increased by 138 from 1,114,253 in 2014 to 1,114,391. Colorado doesn’t sanction 9-man football so the combined participation for three divisions in 2014 was 16,272 compared to 16,884 last season. In 11man football Colorado’s participation numbers increased from 14,952 two years ago to 15,705 in the 2015 season. According to Colorado High School Activities Association figures, there was a decline of 470 total participants from 2013 to 2014 and 287 players from 2012 to 2013. However, there hasn’t been a lot of fluctuation over the past six seasons in Colorado’s football participation numbers. “We have remained flat and I believe we could see some falling off as people react to the concussion/head injury

ago when she set a world record and won four gold medals at the London 2012 Olympics. But the 2016 Rio Olympics took a different turn — Franklin left with one gold medal from the 4x200 free relay, which Franklin she only swam in the preliminary heat. Her performance, which she called disappointing, didn’t earn her a spot on the podium. Franklin’s welcome-home display goes to show that her hometown fans love her, win or lose.

Valor names new baseball coach Valor Christian Athletic Director Jamie Heiner didn’t have to look far during his search for a new baseball coach to replace Keith Wahl. Brian Bonn, an assistant baseball coach for the past nine seasons at Valor, has accepted the position as the Eagles’ head coach. “I am excited to step into this new role and look forward to continuing the traditions that make Valor baseball such a special program,” Bonn said. Valor won the Class 4A state championship in the spring.

Salomess Stars Salome FOR RELEASE WEEK OF AUGUST 22, 2016 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) A troubling situation takes a positive turn and moves toward a resolution that should please you and your supporters. Meanwhile, make time to deal with new domestic issues. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) It’s a good time to reassess your goals and consider shifting directions. Remember to keep an open mind, and be prepared to make changes as new opportunities arise. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Rely on your strong Mercury aspect to help you close that communication gap before it becomes too wide to cross. A sibling or other family member has news. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) You’re about to get off that emotional roller coaster and start experiencing more stability than you’ve been used to. This is a good time to let someone new into your life. LEO (July 23 to August 22) Good news: A trusted friend comes through for you. But you still need to shed that last scrap of self-doubt and once more become the cool, confident Cat we all know and love. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Things should be getting back to a less hectic pace. Enjoy the more peaceful atmosphere. You earned it. But don’t forget about those still-unresolved issues.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) You might feel as if you’re caught in an emotional tug-of-war. But don’t be rushed into a decision on either side. Wait for more facts before you act.

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) The Goat’s usually high level of self-confidence is brimming over these days. This should help you deal with a situation that you’ve avoided for far too long. Go for it. AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Relationships become more intense. But be careful not to be pushed into decisions you’re not comfortable with. Remember: You’re the one in charge of your life. PISCES (February 19 to March 20) You need to show more confidence in your ability to reach your goals. Make that long-delayed decision, and avoid floundering around in a sea of self-doubt. BORN THIS WEEK: Although you appear to be strongly opinionated, you can also be open to other ideas -- so long as they are presented with logic and clarity. (c) 2016 King Features Synd., Inc.

Summary of Application: Englewood is a municipal corporation of the State of Colorado. Englewood owns and operates municipal water and sewer utility systems for the benefit of its citizens, and for the provision of water and sewer service contracts. This application claims diligence for two conditional appropriative rights of exchange that Englewood operates to make its water rights decreed for diversion from the Ranch Creek System in Grand County available for use within its municipal water system. While not part of the original decree for the conditional exchanges in W-8456-76, the following matrix summarizes the exchange reaches. All values are in cfs, and those portions of the exchanges that are either absolute in part or conditional in whole are described as such: [The original application contains a summary of exchanges in table format that could not be replicated in the resume and that is available on request to applicant]. 3. Names of Exchanges: South Platte Exchange and Williams Fork Exchange 4. Date of Original Decree: The exchanges were originally decreed in Case No. W-8456-76 on July 1, 1983 and were made partially absolute in Case No. 87CW124.

Type of Use or Proposed Use: Diversion, storage and beneficial use by Englewood for its water supply, and that of its water customers for domestic, irrigation. and other municipal purposes. vii.

Provide a detailed outline of what has been done toward completion or for completion of the appropriation and application of water to a beneficial use as conditionally decreed, including expenditures: Pursuant to the Decree issued in Case No. 01CW215, the Subject Exchanges are part of an extensive unified system for the collection, treatment and distribution of water operated by Englewood for its customers. The operation of the Subject Exchanges is not only dependent upon Englewood’s demand and stream exchange potential available, but is also affected by the yield of other water rights and exchanges currently operated by Englewood. The existence of these water rights and exchanges is necessary in order to allow Englewood to plan for growth and to maintain flexibility and reliability in its water supply system. Therefore, for the purpose of showing diligence as to the appropriative rights of exchange originally decreed in W-8456-76 and most recently granted a finding of reasonable diligence in Case No. 01CW215, diligence as to any part of Englewood’s water rights system used to operate or benefit from these exchanges shall be diligence as to the completion of the Subject Exchanges. During the diligence period of 2010 to the present, in continuing the development of the Subject Exchanges, Englewood has undertaken significant efforts on various components of its unified water system. Activities that have been performed toward completion of the appropriation and application of the Subject Exchanges to beneficial use are described below.

16CW3094, Golden Gun Club Attn: Larry E. Eckblad, (Karl F. Kumli III, Kara N. Godbehere, Gabriella Stockmayer, Dietze and Davis P.C., 2060 Broadway, Suite 400, Boulder, Colorado 80302), APPLICATION FOR DETERMINATION OF GROUNDWATER RIGHTS FROM NONTRIBUTARY SOURCES IN THE DENVER BASIN AQUIFERS UNDERLYING APPLICANTS’ PROPERTY AND FOR CONFIRMATION OF APPROPRIATION OF NONTRIBUTARY GROUNDWATER PURSUANT TO A PRE-SENATE BILL 213 APPROPRIATION OF GROUNDWATER, ARAPAHOE COUNTY. Subject Property: The Northeast Quarter of Section 24, Township 4 South, Range 65 West, 6th P.M., in Arapahoe County, Colorado, less that portion of the 160 acres lying within South Watkins Road, as more fully described and shown on Attachment A hereto (“Subject Property”). Source of Water Rights: The source of the groundwater in the Denver, Arapahoe, and Laramie-Fox Hills aquifers is nontributary as described in C.R.S. § 37-90-103(10.5). First Claim for Relief: Applicant seeks a determination of its rights to nontributary groundwater which is legally available and underlying the Subject Property in the Denver, Arapahoe and Laramie-Fox Hills aquifers, in accordance with the provisions of C.R.S. 37-90-103(10.5) and 3790-137(4) and (6). Date of Appropriation: Not applicable, but for informational purposes, May 23, 1972. How appropriation was initiated: Not applicable, but for informational purposes, by formation of intent to drill a well and first step to appropriate groundwater evidenced by the application for well permit dated May 23, 1972. See Attachment B. Date water applied to beneficial use: Not applicable, but for informational purposes, August 8, 1974 as evidenced by the original landowner’s statement of beneficial use. See Attachment C. Amount Claimed: Pursuant to C.R.S. § 37-90-137(4), Applicant is entitled to the following amounts of nontributary water from the following aquifers of the Denver Basin underlying Applicant’s property, which is the Subject Property: Denver Aquifer - 68 af/year, Arapahoe Aquifer - 61.2 af/year, Laramie-Fox Hills – 36 af/year for a total of 165.2 af/year from all. Proposed Use: All beneficial uses of water recognized under Colorado law, including, without limitation, domestic, commercial, industrial, irrigation, construction, stock watering, dust suppression, recreation, fire protection, fish and wildlife, aesthetic, mining and augmentation purposes, including storage on the Subject Property. Wells: Two wells, permitted as Well Permit No. 63159 and 16391, have been constructed on the Subject Property. Well Permit No. 63159 is an alluvial well and is not constructed into the aquifers which are the subject of this application. Well Permit No. 16391 was completed into the Arapahoe aquifer. There are no other existing wells, no unexpired permitted but unconstructed wells, or unpermitted wells which are located on the Subject Property into the aquifers which are the subject of this application. Application will be made for well permits prior to construction of any additional wells. Second Claim for Relief: In addition to the First Claim for Relief, Applicant seeks a determination of its water rights based upon an appropriation of nontributary groundwater pursuant to C.R.S. § 37-90-137(5), and in support thereof, states as follows: Well Permit No. 16391: Well Permit No. 16391 was issued on August 8, 1972 and is therefore not subject to the provisions of CRS 37-90137(4), pursuant to CRS 37-90-137(5). Location: Well Permit No. 16391 is located approximately 500 feet from the East section line of S4, T4S, R65 W of the 6th P.M. and was completed into the Arapahoe aquifer. Pursuant to the Statewide Nontributary Groundwater Rule 4(A)(7), the radius of the “cylinder of appropriation” for Well Permit No. 16391 is approximately 1,489 feet. Cylinder of Appropriation: Because of the location of the well, the radius for its cylinder of appropriation extends onto the neighboring parcels of land to the east and the south of the Subject Property. Accordingly, Applicant is entitled to the groundwater underlying the area within the cylinder of appropriation as it is located on the neighboring property or properties (approximately 85 acres) and such acreage must be excluded from any future applications filed to adjudicate Denver Basin Groundwater underlying the neighboring property. See Statewide Nontributary Groundwater Rule 8(c). Additional Acreage: Applicant requests this court confirm that Applicant is entitled to the Arapahoe aquifer groundwater underlying the additional 85 acres, or 32.5 af/year, in addition to the 61.2 af/year claimed in Paragraph 5, above, for a total of 93.7 af/year from the Arapahoe aquifer. Well Fields: Applicant requests that this Court determine that Applicants have the right to withdraw all of the legally available groundwater lying below their respective lands, through wells or any additional wells which may be completed in the future, as Applicants' well fields, subject to Rule 11.B of the Statewide Nontributary Ground Water Rules (2 CCR 402-7), and through wells withdrawing the same type of water as decreed in Case No. 2000CW067. Additional Withdrawals: Applicant claims the right to withdraw more than the average annual amounts estimated in paragraph 6 above pursuant to Rule 8A of the Statewide Rules, 2 C.C.R. 402-7. Revision: Applicant requests the right to revise the estimates upward or downward, based on better or revised data, without the necessity of amending this application or republishing the same. Applicant’s Certification: Applicant Golden Gun Club certifies that it owns the Subject Property free and clear of all liens and encumbrances and that no other person or entity has a financial interest in the Subject Property. Jurisdiction: The Water Court has jurisdiction over the subject matter of this application pursuant to C.R.S. § § 37-92-302(2) and 37-90137(6), C.R.S. WHEREFORE, Applicants pray that this Court enter a Decree granting all claims of relief set forth in this Application, and such other relief as the Court deems just and proper in the premises.

Sources: The sources set forth in the previous diligence decree entered in Case No. 07-CW-201 are as follows: 3.4.1. Aurora’s water service system includes the following features: 3.4.1.1. Aurora either individ-ually or in cooperation with others is the owner of numerous water rights, water diversion and storage facilities that either arise in or are located within the South Platte River Basin, including the Cherry Creek Well Field described in paragraph 2.1.1., above. The Cherry Creek Well Field is the “exchange to” upstream point for diversion of water for some of the exchanges described in paragraph 3.3., above. The seven tributary wells of the Cherry Creek Well Field were adjudicated in Douglas County District Court, Civil Action No. 3635 on May 18, 1972, appropriation date November 15, 1955. These wells are also named in Case No. 2001-CW-284 (approval of plan for augmentation, new appropriative rights of exchange and water storage rights) decreed on December 4, 2007 for the Upper Cherry Creek Water Users Association (“UCCWA”), to which Aurora is a member. 3.4.1.2. Aurora is also the owner of numerous water rights and water diversion and storage facilities that either arise in or are located within the Colorado and Arkansas River Basins. Water from the Colorado River Basin rights and facilities flows through and, from time to time is stored in, facilities located within the Arkansas River Basin. Water from the Arkansas River Basin rights and facilities and water from the Colorado River Basin rights and facilities brought to the Arkansas River Basin is conveyed by the Otero Pipeline from either Twin Lakes Reservoir or the Otero Pump Station to Aurora’s storage and diversion facilities within the South Platte River Basin. 3.4.1.3. Aurora’s raw water supplies from the South Platte, Arkansas, and Colorado River Basins are conveyed through a system of pipelines and reservoirs from its main intake to treatment, storage and distribution facilities located within the City. Those treatment, storage and distribution facilities also receive water from Aurora’s Cherry Creek Well Field. After treatment, water is distributed to customers of the Aurora municipal water system. 3.4.1.4. A por-tion of Aurora’s municipal customers are located within the Shop Creek, Sand Creek, Cherry Creek, Tollgate Creek, Westerly Creek and First Creek drainage basins. A portion of the treated water supplied to customers within these drainage basins is used for lawn irrigation purposes. A certain increment of the water applied for lawn irrigation purposes in these drainage basins either runs off directly to the streams or percolates into the soil and migrates into the ground water of the stream alluviums. This surface runoff to the streams and groundwater flow in the stream alluvium are either made available for reuse by the Prairie Waters Project described in paragraph 4.2.3.4., below, and returned to either the Aurora Sand Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant or the Metro Wastewater Reclamation District as described in paragraphs 2.2.1. and 2.2.2., respectively, or returned to Cherry Creek Reservoir as described in paragraph 2.1.2. 3.4.1.5. Effluent from Aurora’s municipal sanitary sewage system, which effluent is the result of water supplied by Aurora, is presently treated at either the City’s Sand Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant, which outfall is located on Sand Creek, tributary to the South Platte River, as described in paragraph 2.2.1., or at the Metro Wastewater Reclamation District (formerly known as the Metropolitan Denver Sewage Disposal District No. 1) wastewater treatment plant, which outfall is located on the main stem of the South Platte River just above its confluence with Sand Creek, as described in paragraph 2.2.2. 3.4.2. Sources of reusable water for exchange: The sources of reusable water available for the subject exchanges are (1) Aurora’s fully consumable water sources from
water deliverable to the Aurora Sand Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant outfall, the Metro Wastewater Reclamation District outfall, the confluence of Cherry Creek and the South Platte River, and the Cherry Creek Reservoir, from the reusable sources owned or controlled by Aurora including transbasin and fully consumptive use waters, (2) fully consumptive use water deliverable to the Metro Wastewater Reclamation District outfall and pump station available to Aurora pursuant to its sewage transmission agreement with the East Cherry Creek Valley Water and Sanitation District (ECCV), dated May 15, 1976, and (3) fully consumptive use water deliverable to Cherry Creek Reservoir and Cherry Creek above the Reservoir, all as are more fully set forth in Paragraph 3.3.2. of the decree entered in 07-CW-201, as well as Exhibit 2 attached hereto. Aurora acknowledges that identification of the water cases identified in paragraph 2 of Exhibit 2 neither creates any rights nor does such impair any rights that either Aurora or ECCV may have in association with their May 15, 1976 Agreement. 3.4.3. Appropriation Date: November 27, 1995. 3.4.4. Amount: 25 c.f.s. for each of the separate individual exchanges described in Paragraph 3.3, above. The cumulative rate of exchange of any combination of exchanges may not exceed 25 cfs in any stream reaches where the individual exchanges overlap. Pursuant to the decrees entered in Water Division 1, Case Nos. 95-CW-226 & 227 and Case No. 07-CW-201, the following exchange amounts are presently decreed as follows: are presently decreed as follows:

Aurora completed structural modifications to the Holbrook system facilities and filed a Substitute Water Supply Plan necessary to implement the program. An Amended Agreement was entered into on April 21, 2016. Further, Aurora initiated a study to examine enlargement of the Holbrook Reservoir to further facilitate operations. During this diligence period, Aurora made payments of approximately $221,000 to Holbrook under this agreement. 4.2.1.8. Intergovernmental Agreement with LAVWCD: Pursuant to an Intergovernmental Agreement with the Lower Arkansas Valley Water Conservation District (“LAVWCD”), Aurora paid approximately $1,250,000 to LAVWCD for the identification and implementation of infrastructure improvements, research, and investigations designed to assist in the permitting or implementation of water leasing programs in the Lower Arkansas Valley, as well as remediation and restoration efforts in the Fountain Creek Corridor. 4.2.1.9. Recovery of Yield (“ROY”): Aurora, along with Colorado Springs, the Pueblo Board of Water Works, the City of Fountain, and the Southeastern Colorado Water Conservancy District, are pursuing adjudication of the exchanges necessary as a result of the 2004 Regional Intergovernmental Agreement (“IGA”) between various water providers and the City of Pueblo. As part of the IGA, the water providers agreed to allow certain of their senior flows to pass through Pueblo’s RICD reaches on the condition those flows could be removed downstream and exchanged back upstream. This case lays the foundation for those exchanges. Aurora has expended significant sums on these efforts during the diligence period. 4.2.1.10. Gravel Pit Storage: Aurora is pursuing gravel pit storage options on the Arkansas River downstream from Pueblo Reservoir to allow storage of its water rights for eventual exchange to Pueblo Reservoir. These stored rights will facilitate Aurora’s Arkansas River Basin operation, including delivery of the reusable water for the exchanges herein. During this diligence period, Aurora spent approximately $120,000 toward this effort. 4.2.2. Colorado River Basin: Aurora made the following diligent efforts with regard the its water supply system components in the Colorado River Basin that are necessary for continuation of its reusable supplies from the Colorado River Basin. 4.2.2.1. During this diligence period, Aurora and the City of Colorado Springs negotiated with Objectors in Case No. 95-CW-272(A), Water Division 5, and entered into Stipulations with many of the Objectors in that case, which adjudicated changes of water rights and augmentation plans and exchanges involving the Homestake water rights. A decree was granted in this matter on March 16, 2011. 4.2.2.2. Aurora has continued to pursue development of a joint project or projects as contemplated in a 1998 Memorandum of Understanding with Vail Associates, Upper Eagle River Regional Water Authority, Eagle River Water and Sanitation District, Cypress Climax Mining Company and the Colorado River Water Conservation District. On June 21, 2004, the City of Aurora entered into an additional Water Exchange Agreement with the Eagle Park Reservoir Company, the Colorado River Water Conservation District, the Eagle River Water and Sanitation District, the Upper Eagle Regional Water Authority, and Vail Associates, Inc. to supplement a 1998 Water Exchange Agreement. This agreement affects operations of the Homestake water rights and deliveries of reusable water to Aurora for use in the exchanges herein. On January 5, 2010, the City of Aurora entered into a Consolidated Water Exchange Agreement to supplement, merge and consolidate the 1998 and 2004 agreements. Aurora seeks to further maximize the operations of the Homestake water rights with these projects. 4.2.2.3. Homestake Project: During this diligence period, work was done on the Homestake Diversion Channel to reduce erosion, including riprap and installation of a new roadway culvert. Additionally, Homestake Reservoir underwent resurfacing and improvement. Once water is transported over the Continental Divide through the Otero Pump Station and Homestake Pipeline, it is then transported to Spinney Mountain Reservoir in the South Platte Basin. 4.2.2.4. During this diligence period, Aurora prosecuted Case No. 2009-CW-17, Water Division 5. On October 10, 2010, the Division 5 Water Court entered a decree confirming diligence and continuing in effect the conditional water rights originally decreed in Case No. 98-CW-270, which comprise part of the Homestake Project. 4.2.2.5. During this diligence period, Aurora has negotiated and executed a Recovery Action Plan Participation Agreement with the Northern Colorado Water Conservancy District, and a Ruedi Insurance Water Cost Participation Agreement with the City and County of Denver. The purpose of these agreements is to mitigate the impacts of transmountain diversions to Colorado’s front range in order to support the Recovery Implementation Program for Endangered Fish Species in the Upper Colorado River Basin. 4.2.3. South Platte River Basin: Aurora made the following diligent efforts with regard its water supply system components in the South Platte River Basin which are necessary for continuation of its reusable supplies from the South Platte River Basin. 4.2.3.1. Griswold Water Treatment Plant Renovations: This facility treats a portion of the raw water before it is delivered to Aurora’s customers. Over $1,570,000 was spent by Aurora during this diligence period for improvements to this facility. 4.2.3.2. Wemlinger Water Treatment Plant Expansion: During this diligence period, Aurora spent over $24,914,000 on expansion of the Wemlinger Water Treatment Plant. 4.2.3.3. Automated Meter Reading System: Aurora spent more than $7,085,000 during this diligence period for conversion of its manual utility reading system to a fully automated system. 4.2.3.4. Prairie Waters Project: The Prairie Waters Project is a large comprehensive water recapture, supply, storage and treatment project which in part recovers reusable return flows from Aurora’s water sources from the South Platte River. To facilitate this project Aurora obtained various decrees in Case Nos. 06-CW-104, 03CW-414, and 03-CW-415, Water Division 1. This project allows further reuse of much of the water decreed to Aurora. Reuse water recovered by this project is one of the sources at Aurora’s wastewater treatment plants for replacement under the exchanges at issue here. Aurora has expended significant sums on the construction of several elements of the Prairie Waters Project during this diligence period. 4.2.3.5. South Platte Exchange: On September 22, 2013, Aurora obtained a decree in Case No. 08-CW-253, Water Division 1, granting a finding of reasonable diligence and making absolute portions of conditional exchange rights.

Walker Everist Exchange: On April 28, 2016, Aurora obtained a decree in Case No. 07-CW-298, Water Division 1, granting conditional appropriative rights of exchange from two reservoir sites located in Weld County upstream of two existing reservoirs, one on the main stem of the South Platte (Strontia Springs Reservoir) and the other on Cherry Creek (Cherry Creek Reservoir). One exchange originates from the Walker Reservoir Complex and the second exchange originates from the Everist Reservoir Complex. 4.2.3.7. Binney Water Purification Facility: This state-ofthe-art water purification and recycling plant owned and operated by Aurora treats water for use throughout the city. Over $4,500,000 was spent by Aurora during the diligence period for improvements to this facility. 4.2.4 Non-Basin Specific: 4.2.4.1. Integrated Water Master Plan: Aurora updates this plan every five years as part of its inclusive overall planning process. This plan is separate and distinct from the Water System Master Plan identified in paragraph 4.2.4.2. below. Aurora expended over $3,197,000 during the subject diligence period on this effort. 4.2.4.2. Water System Master Plan: Aurora updates its Master Plan every five years to identify water storage, transmission, and pumping system improvements needed to meet future growth. Aurora expended over $93,287 during the subject diligence period on this effort. 4.2.5. Legal Fees for System Enlargement: During the diligence period Aurora expended over $909,000 in legal fees for developing additional water sources for its system. 4.2.6. Protection Efforts: During the diligence period, Aurora spent more than $936,000 for legal services for participation in Water Divisions 1, 2 and 5 cases to protect the rights and interests of Aurora with regard to its water supply system, including the subject exchanges. 4.3. Other: Aurora reserves the right to identify additional relevant efforts that may be later discovered or to make upward adjustments to amounts expended on certain projects. Aurora has an extensive water rights portfolio, an extensive and complex water supply, collection, treatment and reuse system, and an extensive number of agreements, contracts, leases, etc. related to its facilities and the use, reuse and storage of its water rights. Aurora is involved in many legal actions related to the collection, treatment, reuse and protection of its water rights. Further, the management, protection, and operation of the water rights and the facilities system involve numerous City of Aurora departments and staff members throughout the state. Aurora made diligent efforts with regard to this Application to determine and quantify all efforts made by the City toward completion of the appropriations and application of the water rights decreed in consolidated Case Nos. 95-CW-226 and 95-CW-227 to beneficial use. However, it is reasonably possible that relevant efforts or expenditures may have been overlooked or need further upward adjustment. WHEREFORE, Aurora respectfully requests the Court find Aurora has complied with the terms and conditions of the original decree in consolidated Cases Nos. 95-CW-226 and 95-CW-227 and find diligence in the development of the appropriative rights of exchange not previously made absolute, and continue the conditional decree for said exchanges and remaining conditional amounts for the statutory period. Aurora further requests that this Court also grant such additional relief that the Court deems necessary and appropriate to further the purposes of the appropriations herein requested.

been working hard at it,” Green said. “That’s what I like to specialize in. Last year I was one of the top in the state with the fastest times and perfect snaps every single time.” Valor Christian’s Devin Noth, a 6-3, 205-pound senior, is a 5-star Division I prospect and is the fifth-ranked high school long snapper in ratings used by college coaches that are compiled by Chris Sailer kicking and Chris Rubio long-snapping camps. “There are more and more camps to help with recruiting with long snappers,” Noth said. “All during
youth league, I played as a lineman. Freshman year I wasn’t starting as a lineman but was starting as a long snapper. I realized I was OK at that and started improving and working on long snapping. Over the course of that next year, it became a specialty to me. Next thing I knew, I was a long snapper only and working with the kickers every day at practice. “The things a lot of people look at are speed and accuracy. There are a lot of other factors too. If a college coach sees you and you can snap it faster and more accurate than any other guy, they will take you. But you need a nice spiral on the ball. So having good form, and what your coach wants either blocking or running down the field to make a tackle is important.”

Total capacity of reservoir: 100 acre-feet of active capacity, with no dead storage. THIRD CLAIM: PLAN FOR AUGMENTATION 19. Names of structures to be augmented: The BCP Wells and BCP Storage Pond. The structures have not yet been decreed, and a conditional water right for each well is claimed in this case as described above. There are no other water rights diverted from those wells or stored in the pond. All relevant information is provided in the First Claim and Second Claim above. 20. Water rights to be used for augmentation: Applicant will rely on augmentation water delivered by the Town of Wiggins pursuant to the Amended Water Conveyance and Operating Agreement dated September 11, 2013, a copy of which is attached as EXHIBIT C. Wiggins currently owns or has the right to acquire approximately 27 shares in the Weldon Valley Ditch Company, and may acquire more shares in the future. The augmentation water will primarily consist of fully consumable water from the senior direct flow water right and recharge rights represented by those shares. The senior direct flow water right was originally decreed to the Weldon Valley Ditch on November 21, 1895, in Case No. 433, District Court for Weld County, in the amount of 165 cfs for irrigation with an appropriation date of October 26, 1881. Wiggins is also entitled to a pro rata share of recharge accretions from the Weldon Valley Ditch decreed on November 5, 2008, in Case No. 02CW377, Water Division 1. The source of water for the senior direct flow and recharge water rights is the South Platte River. Those water rights are decreed for diversion through the Weldon Valley Ditch headgate located on the north bank of the South Platte River in the Southeast 1/4 of Section 13, T4N, R61W, 6th P.M., Weld County, Colorado. The Wiggins water rights may be delivered directly to the South Platte River through one or more augmentation stations on the Weldon Valley Ditch or delivered as accretions to the River through one or more recharge structures located along the Ditch. Wiggins may also deliver return flows from its treated water system and reusable effluent from its wastewater treatment plant to the South Platte River. Some of the Wiggins water rights are subject to a pending application in Case No. 14CW3068. Up to 1.11 cfs of that water will be exchanged up the South Platte River to a point near a recharge well used to fill a recharge pond to be constructed near the confluence of Box Elder Creek and the South Platte River at the location described below. That exchange and the water rights and augmentation plan associated with that recharge project will also be used to replace depletions from the BCP Wells pursuant to a pending application in Case No. 15CW3010. Applicant also requests approval of a procedure to allow the addition of other water rights to be used for augmentation purposes pursuant to procedures described in Section 37–92–305(8)(c), C.R.S. 21. Will any water rights be changed to provide a source of augmentation? No. Applicant does not propose to change any water rights in this case. The Weldon Valley Ditch water rights to be delivered by Wiggins will only be used for augmentation in this case if they have been changed to allow augmentation use pursuant to one or more separate water court decrees or approved substitute water supply plans. A total of 10.4 shares have already been changed to
allow use for irrigation, augmentation, replacement, recharge, and exchange in Case No. 04CW90. Wiggins has pending in Case No. 14CW3068 an application to change the Weldon Valley Ditch water rights represented by all 27 shares to allow municipal use by Wiggins, including augmentation of out of priority depletions caused by the BCP Wells, the wells proposed for delivery of water to the BCP Recharge Structure, and the Wiggins municipal wells, through various means of recharge and delivery to the South Platte River. Replacement will be limited to water from the changed 10.4 shares until additional shares have been approved for such use by the Weldon Valley Ditch Company and by the water court or State Engineer. 22. Complete statement of plan for augmentation. Applicant will divert water from the BCP Wells for the purposes and amounts described above for oil and gas development and production and related uses pursuant to contract with Select Energy Services and/or other entities. The water pumped from the BCP Wells for those purposes will be fully consumed. Applicant will also divert water for irrigation of up to 95 acres on the Randall and Hawthorne Parcels. A portion of the water used for irrigation will be consumed, and the rest will return to the alluvial aquifer. The total maximum annual combined pumping for all purposes under this plan is 2,000 acre-feet. All out-of-priority depletions from all uses will be replaced using the sources identified in paragraph 12 in the time, amount, and location needed to prevent injury to vested water rights. The BCP Wells are located approximately 18 miles above the normally live stream segment on Box Elder Creek. As a result, stream depletions from pumping the BCP Wells will be significantly delayed and spread out over many years. Maximum annual stream depletions to the South Platte River will be approximately 66 acre-feet per year. The current estimated timing and amount of depletions from such well pumping and the resulting replacement obligations are described on attached EXHIBIT D. Applicant proposes to replace all out of priority stream depletions as needed to prevent injury to water rights having a decreed priority senior to the date of filing the original application. Applicant has contracted with the Town of Wiggins to provide replacement water for these out-of-priority stream depletions by delivery of Weldon Valley Ditch water rights and any other water rights to the South Platte River and exchange of that water upstream to a recharge facility to be constructed near the confluence of the South Platte River and Box Elder Creek. By joint application in Case No. 15CW3010, BCP and Wiggins have requested approval of a plan for augmentation, including an exchange, to allow delivery of water into the recharge structure to replace out-of-priority depletion on the South Platte River caused by diversion of water from the recharge well into the recharge structure. The recharge well will be located in the NE1/4 of the SW1/4 of Section 2, T4N, R63W, 6th P.M., and the recharge pond will be located in the NE 1/4 of the NW 1/4 of Section 11, T4N, R63W, 6th P.M. in Weld County (BCP Recharge Structure”), as more fully described in the application in 15CW3010. Replacement water for the BCP Wells will be delivered to the South Platte River as accretions from the BCP Recharge Structure under the decree to be entered in 15CW3010, or other means provided by Wiggins. A map showing the proposed location of the BCP Recharge Structure is attached as EXHIBIT E. 23. Names and addresses of owner or reputed owners of the land upon which any new diversion or storage structure, or modification to any existing diversion or storage structure is or will be constructed or upon which water is or will be stored: The BCP Recharge Structure will be constructed on land owned by the TH Ranch LLC, 34555 WCR 50, Kersey, CO 80644. BCP Well Nos. 1-5 and the BCP Storage Pond may be located on land owned by Randall Investments, 9888 Whistling Elk Drive, Littleton, CO 80127, or Robert R. Hawthorne, Route 1 Box 351, Watkins, CO 80137.
