Suspect enters plea of insanity Englewood woman accused of beating man to death By Tom Munds

ernment and how many people are working for the government. “I think I might like to get a job with the government,” she said. “I would really like to get one of the more important jobs like being president of the United States.” Clayton Elementary School’s Shyanna Mader agreed she learned a lot preparing for Liberty Day. “I learned a lot about how our government works,” she said. “I guess I didn’t know about the divisions or all the steps taken to keep everything working and balanced.” She said she liked studying the amendments and her favorite was the amendment that allowed 18-year-old residents to

Forsythia Owen, who has been charged with murder in the death of Denzel Rainey, made a brief court appearance for arraignment March 17 where her defense attorney Joe Archembault said Owen was pleading not guilty by reason of insanity. She was in custody and wore maroon jail attire, handcuffs and shackles on her ankles that were attached to a chain around her waist. Before her case was called, she sat in the jury box with other in-custody prisoners and chatted with the woman next to her. When her case was called, she joined her defense attorney at the podium where the attorney entered her plea. Marilyn Antrim, 18th Judicial District Judge, then told Owen she would undergo evaluation at the Mental Health Institute in Pueblo. The judge told Owen that counselors at the institute would talk to her about the facts of the case and of her life. The judge let her know she didn’t have to talk to the counselors but advised her that not talking to the counselors may not be in her best interest. The judge then ordered Owen Owen be transported from the Arapahoe County Jail to the Pueblo mental health institute for evaluation. Judge Antrim said the counselors would prepare a report and she set May 23 at 11 a.m. as the date and time to review the report. Owen was arrested Sept. 23, 2013 for allegedly beating Rainey to death with a baseball bat. On Dec. 12, Judge Antrim ruled at the pretrial hearing there was sufficient evidence to order arraignment. Owen could face charges of first-degree murder after deliberation and assault with a deadly weapon causing serious bodily injury. Additionally she could be facing sentenceenhancement charges of violent crime causing death and violent crime where a weapon was used. Since it is a first-degree murder case, Owen has been held in Arapahoe County Jail without bond. Preliminary hearings are held to provide the information the judge needs to determine if there is sufficient evidence to establish probable cause to believe the defendant committed the crime. The prosecutor can call witnesses and the defense attorney can cross-examine the witnesses. On Dec. 12, prosecutor Jason Sears called Englewood Detective Brent Vogel to testify in the case. Vogel, lead detective in the case, testified to details, including police discovery of Rainey, the information gathered in the three interrogation sessions with Owen that led to her arrest. The detective said he attended the Sept. 23 autopsy and the coroner ruled Rainey died from blunt force trauma to the head. Rainey also suffered six broken ribs, both arms were broken, several fingers were broken, his liver was lacerated and he suffered injuries from blows to his

Fifth-graders visit state Capitol Students quiz visitors about Constitution at Liberty Day festivities By Tom Munds

tmunds@ coloradocommunitymedia.com Twenty-one Englewood fifth-graders traveled to the Colorado State Capitol on March 13, joining dozens of other students from other school districts for Liberty Day activities. “We have taken part in Liberty Day at the state Capitol for the last four or five years,” said Gail Stine, Englewood’s gifted and talented specialist. “Again this year, each fifth-grader in the district was asked to study a booklet containing the Constitution. There were tests and seven students from each of the three elementary schools were selected for the Liberty Day field trip.” The Englewood students arrived at the Capitol in Denver, and their group was escorted into the gallery to watch members of the House of Representative debate and vote on bills. As they moved into the hallway, a Liberty Day representative wearing a white wig and clothing representing the late 1700s talked with the Englewood students about the Constitution. He asked them questions and they quizzed him. The students then moved outside where they asked visitors to the Capitol questions about the Constitution. Typical questions included the length of term of a U.S. Senator, some of the rights guaranteed by the First Amendment and how many terms can a president serve. Jasmine Tanner, a fifth-grader from Bishop Elementary School, said being part of Liberty Day enabled her to learn a lot about the Constitution. “I heard about the Constitution but I

Never too late to dream, discover a gift Three times she almost quit. The inspiration wasn’t there. Unlike the others in the class, she had never painted, and the challenge of creating something worthy seemed quite overwhelming. In all her 94 years, Jean Barron hadn’t even picked up a paintbrush. She knew nothing about art, didn’t much care for it, had determinedly avoided art museums. But that was before Cézanne’s “The Blue Vase.” And a teacher who broke the work into manageable, unintimidating parts that seamlessly fit together, like pieces of a puzzle. When Jean was done replicating the masterpiece, she looked at her canvas with the blue vase and flowers, fruit scattered on the table. “Did I really paint that?” she thought. “It was just amazing.” Three years later, Jean is passionate about painting. Her work is so good that local TV and newspapers are telling her story. She understands the reason they’re interested is because she discovered this talent so late in life. But then, “to be learning something new,’” she says, “that’s what keeps us young.” Jean, who celebrated her 97th birthday March 18, will tell you she feels quite young. She’s in total agreement with the popular notion that 60 today is the new 40. “I am so blessed with health and, usually, a fairly sound mind,” she says with a slight smile. “I don’t know where the time has gone. I can’t believe I’m as old as I am, and I never expected to be around at this age. … But I don’t feel like I’m older than 60. I don’t feel like I’m 97, my goodness.”

That self-appraisal is encouraging. I, too, recently celebrated a birthday. And like, Jean, I also feel much younger than my 54 years. It turns out that impression isn’t unusual. The older people get, the younger they feel, according to a Pew Research survey. “Moreover,” the report said, “the gap in years between actual age and `felt age’ widens as people grow older.” Nearly half of survey respondents 50 and older said they felt at least 10 years younger, but among those between 65 and 74, one-third felt 10 to 19 years younger and one in six said they felt at least 20 years younger than their age. A New York Times blog in 2008 talked about a study that found people 70 and older generally thought of themselves as 13 years younger. “This concept of how you feel about your age is so important and defines, in a way, how we act,” said Jacqui Smith, a psychologist at the University of Michigan Institute for Social Research, who was interviewed in the story by Tara Parker-Pope. “If you self-define yourself as someone who is old, then you probably act that way.” Another Pew study found more than

two-thirds of Americans would like to live to between 79 and 100 years old, with the median desired life span being 90 years — about 11 years longer than the U.S. life expectancy of 78.7 years. And statistics show, adults 60 and older — because they are healthier and more active — are living longer. So: We want to live longer. We are living longer. We are living longer better. I like that prognosis, that extended lease on life, because I worry about not having enough time to fulfill my constantly renewing pot of dreams. I hope to be like Jean — healthy, creative, still learning, still looking for new experiences. On this afternoon, she walks slowly, steadily, down the hall to her apartment. She has just returned from a bus trip to the Mayan exhibit at the Museum of Nature and Science. She sits on her sofa, slightly out of breath, but soon recovers. She moved to Colorado from Ohio seven years ago, 21 years after the death of her husband, to be near her two daughters. The days go fast: Exercise and yoga three to four mornings a week, art class every Thursday afternoon, other activities and excursions interspersed. Depending on the week, she spends two to three afternoons painting at the easel she sets up at her kitchen counter. She prefers oils to watercolors because she can more easily correct mistakes. The time she spends coaxing the canvas to life seems almost to stand still. “I get so absorbed. … I lose all track of time — almost a sense of wonder. I guess it’s the creativity and appreciation for the gift that God has given me.”

Since she began, Jean has completed 39 paintings, mostly landscapes, some for her daughters, a handful for friends, many of the Scottish countryside that links her to her heritage. Many hang on the walls throughout her apartment. “I look at my work and I can’t believe I did it, but, well, I didn’t do it,” she says. “The Lord and I did it together. I kept asking the Lord how I could glorify him more in my life, and this was His answer.” That faith, which takes away her worries and stress, is key to her longevity, she believes. “That’s the biggest secret of a contented, healthy, long life.” Needless to say, Jean looks at art differently these days. She enjoys art museums, is curious about the masters and their styles, is fascinated by their different brushstrokes. In her bedroom hang two paintings she did of Monet landscapes, one of a boat on water, the other of a landscape, also with water in it. “I learned he painted on water,” she says, with a touch of wonderment. “He had a boat and he just floated around and did his painting.” That, she says, would be difficult to do. But then, she only has to paint at the easel in her kitchen to find herself transported to a place where there is just the brush and the canvas — and the miracle that comes with it.

In a front-page story from March 14, headlined “Local man charged with child pornography,” it was incorrectly stated that Mervin Wolf, 61, of Englewood was “charged.” He

was arrested for suspicion of child pornography, but has not yet been charged. A grand jury will rule within 30 days of his March 5 arrest whether to charge him with travel with intent to

engage in illicit sexual conduct, as well as the production of child pornography. He is being held in federal custody until the grand jury convenes.

A spicy event to warm up the evening Wide varitey of recipes highlight this year’s chili cookoff By Tom Munds

tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia. com The variety of the 15 entries challenged those charged with selecting the winners of this year’s Bishop Elementary School Chili Cookoff. The blast of snow and the icy north wind didn’t dampen the enthusiasm of the cooks who made and entered their chilies or the families who came to taste the creations on March 11. “This was a great turnout tonight,” Bishop principal Linda Lewis said. “We have a lot of people who came to sample the chili and the 15 cooks provided a wide range of types of chili to sample. It was a difficult decision to select one winner in the three categories — the spiciest, the tastiest and the most original entries.” The entries varied. There were red and green chilies. Some were chili con carne with beans and meat. And while most chili con carne entries used either ground beef

or pieces of beef, one was made with beans and chicken. Other ingredients varied according to the recipe and one cook used seaweed as an ingredient. There were chilies for most tastes as the amount of spice ranged from very mild to quite spicy. While most creations had about the same consistency, there were a couple entries that were thick, two or three that were quite thin. Maria Lozano’s chili was judged to be the most original. Despite containing many traditional ingredients, the slightly spicy chili, also featured flat pasta-like noodles. “I started with a very old recipe,” Lozano said. “It wasn’t hard to prepare and only took about 20 minutes. I kept tasting it to make sure it was just right.” The green chili prepared by Laura Contreras won the award as the spiciest. “My mom’s recipe was the starting point,” she said. “I like spicy food and so does my family so we always make it hot to the taste. I use a little of this and a little of that so the chili is a little different every time I make it.” Contreras won the award for the spiciest chili two years ago. There were a lot of good tasting chilies but it was Jessica Vigil’s entry that won the award for the tastiest.

Ikona Gonzalez-Bentosino liked rice with his chili as he sampled one of the entries at the March 11 Bishop Elementary School’s annual chili cookoff. A big crowd turned out to sample the chili and there were 15 entries to choose from. Photo by Tom Munds “My grandmother Chris Veer made this chili and I brought the entry tonight because she had to work,” Vigil said. “She spends all day making her chili and it is re-

ally good. She has a secret ingredient she uses to give it that special taste. She won’t even tell me what she uses as her secret ingredient.”

Brofft leaving to take superintendent post Assistant superintendent will join Lewis-Palmer School District By Tom Munds

tmunds@c oloradocommunitymedia.com Englewood Assistant School Superintendent Karen Brofft will leave the district at the end of the school year to become the new Lewis-Palmer School District superin-

tendent. “I have really enjoyed the time I have been here at the Englewood School District,” Brofft said. “But this is a new career opportunity for me. The Lewis-Palmer District is similar in size to Englewood and faces many of the same challenges such as aging schools and budget issues. I am looking forward to dealing with those challenges.” Brofft grew up in Minnesota and the family moved to the Denver area when she was a 9-year-old. She attended Cherry

Creek High School and, after graduation, she attended Lewis and Clark College in Oregon. She earned her undergraduate degree in education and came back to Colorado to accept her first Broff teaching job in Douglas County schools. She began teaching first-graders and eventually taught every elementary grade through the sixth.

She left the classroom to accept the position of instructional coach in Douglas County. Later she served as principal of Roxborough Elementary School before becoming director of curriculum and instruction for the Douglas County School District. She accepted the position of Englewood School District assistant superintendent in 2010. “I found my time at Englewood very rewarding,” Brofft said. “I feel the work I have done here has made me grow as a leader.”

Lawmakers divided over minimum wage hike State Democrats support increase to $10.10 an hour By Vic Vela

vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com State lawmakers spent more than four hours on March 13 debating an issue they have no control over. House Democrats argued in favor of a resolution to support an increase in the federal minimum wage, an economic policy debate that is currently raging at the national level. The resolution is non-binding and will do little to impact the battle that will soon take place in Congress. Still, Democrats and Republicans argued at length — and at times fiercely — over a proposed federal wage hike for low-income earners. Democrats argued that the current fed-

eral minimum wage of $7.25 an hour makes it difficult for workers to afford housing and basic necessities. And, Democrats said, raising the wage would reduce the need for lowincome earners’ reliance on government assistance programs. “I think we can all recognize that families Report are struggling and continue to struggle,” said Rep. Dominick Moreno, D-Commerce City, who was a reduced lunch fee recipient as a student and who once worked for minimum wage. “I know what it’s like not being able to fill your (gas) tank all the way because you cant afford the gas.” But Republicans countered that a hike in the minimum wage would have an adverse impact on low wage earners because small

Capitol

business owners wouldn’t be able to afford to keep them employed. “There’s going to be less people employed as a result of that and we’re actually going to hurt those we’re trying to help,” said House Minority Leader Brian DelGrosso, R-Loveland. President Barack Obama and Democrats in Congress are pushing for legislation that would increase the federal minimum wage to $10.10 an hour. Democrats argue that the wage hike would lift millions of Americans out of poverty. The Colorado House resolution asserts that raising the federal minimum wage would “significantly boost the economy at large by increasing purchasing power of workers, thereby increasing the United States’ gross domestic product.” Democrats also contend that Coloradans are on their side on this issue, citing the voter-backed 2006 Initiative 42, which raised the state minimum wage and tied it to inflation. The state’s current minimum

Cyberbullying bill passes House Bill targets online bullying, but GOP has concerns By Vic Vela

vvela@coloradocommunitymedia. com A bill that would make it a crime to “cyberbully” a child — bullying through technological platforms that include social media — passed the House on March 12, but not before Republicans raised concerns about the legislation’s punishment structure, which makes it a greater crime to target certain groups of people. The legislation aims to address a growing trend where kids are subjected to teasing and humiliation through cell phones or the Internet, which can lead to emotional problems and sometimes result in suicide.

“Many of the children who are bullied never tell anybody,” said Rep. Rhonda Fields, D-Aurora, a bill sponsor. “If there is a child out there who is bullied, please tell an adult. Don’t suffer that emotional harm alone.” Fields’ bill drew large bipartisan support, having cleared the House following a 54-10 vote. But Republicans who voted for the bill said they hope the Senate takes up their concerns over what they feel is a fairness issue in the legislation. House Bill 1131 would make cyberbullying a class 2 misdemeanor, but it creates a greater, class 1 misdemeanor penalty in cases where the victims are targeted because of their race, gender, religion, sexual orientation or physical or mental disability. A class 1 misdemeanor conviction carries with it a possible jail term of 6-18 months and fines that can reach

$5,000. Those found guilty of a class 2 misdemeanor face the possibility of spending between 3 and 12 months behind bars and a fine of up to $2,500. Rep. Bob Gardner, R-Colorado Springs, said there was “no reason to make a distinction” based on particular groups of victims, and tried to amend the bill to punish all cases under a singular class 1 misdemeanor. “Let’s not make some victims lesser victims,” Gardner said. Democrats pushed back against Republican arguments, saying that certain groups of people are harmed more than others, when bullied. House Speaker Mark Ferrandino, D-Denver, who is gay and who was once a special education student, said that being bullied “hit in my core in a different way that it did other people.” “You already feel like you’re an outcast,” Ferrandino said.

wage is $8 an hour. But Republicans cited a study by the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office, which estimates that the proposed minimum wage hike would result in the loss of 500,00 jobs. The White House points to estimates in the same study that indicate that more than 16 million Americans would get larger paychecks through an increase. At one point during the lively House debate, Speaker Mark Ferrandino, D-Denver, had to gavel the House to order after cheers and applause rang out from Republicans, who were supporting their GOP colleagues’ arguments in opposition to the resolution. Republicans also tried to tack on an amendment to the resolution that would have required it to be heard in a House committee — something usually reserved for legislation — so citizens could testify. The resolution passed the House following a 38-24 vote. Rep. Jared Wright of Fruita was the only Republican who voted yes.

School board transparency bill dies Sponsor cites lack of support in Senate as reason for killing legislative effort By Vic Vela

vvela@ coloradocommunitymedia.com Legislation aimed at creating greater transparency for what happens behind closed doors at school board meetings will not happen this year. A bill sponsor on March 12 asked a Senate committee to indefinitely postpone the legislation, meaning the bill is dead this session. The legislation would have required that all conversations that take place during school board executive sessions be recorded, including those involving attorney-client discussions. Sen. Mary Hodge, D-Brighton, said she had enough votes for House Bill 1110 to clear the Senate Judiciary Committee. However, getting it past the full Senate was going to be an entirely different story. Hodge — who sponsored the bill with Rep. Cherylin Peniston, D-Westminster — said the bill was one vote short of the support needed to pass the Senate. That vote belonged to Sen. Pat

Steadman, D-Denver. Steadman said he had concerns that the bill only targeted school boards and no other governing bodies, such as city councils. But Steadman’s “overriding” concerns had to do with attorneyclient matters. Current law already requires that school board executive sessions be recorded. The bill would have expanded that requirement to include attorney-client conversations. All Republicans and a few Democrats voted against the bill in the House, in part over concerns that lawyers wouldn’t be able to have effective conversations with their clients, if there was a possibility that those discussions could be made public. “I think there’re some concerns for me about the precedent it would have set,” said Steadman, who is an attorney. Under the bill, recordings of executive sessions would have been stored and would be made available through a court petition process. A judge would have listened to a recording upon a filer’s request and determine whether that information should be made public. The bill was a response to recent controversies over transparency issues involving school boards in Douglas and Jefferson Counties. The Douglas County School Board

has been the subject of criticism over its use of executive sessions. The conservative board has pushed for controversial reforms, including those that would limit the influence of teachers’ unions. New conservative members of the Jefferson County Public Schools Board of Education have also received criticism over transparency issues. In December the three new members approved a lawyer’s contract without disclosing the terms during a public meeting. Potential misuse on the part of school board members is a concern that is shared by Sen. Linda Newell, D-Littleton, the vice chairwoman of the Senate Judiciary Committee. But Newell said that although she would have voted the bill out of committee, she was torn over how she would ultimately vote once it got to the Senate floor. “I am a big transparency fan and I absolutely believe that there are potential misuses going on,” she said. “But it really is a tough bill.” Hodge said she is disappointed over the outcome of the bill, but said she expects this effort to be taken up again next year. “I think it’s an important issue,” Hodge said. “I think transparency should always be paramount.”

Executive session bill worth another listen Click on, click off. A bill that would have likely decreased numbers of times recording machines are turned on and off at school board executive sessions was tabled last week. The bill had some traction and seemingly enough votes to clear the Senate Judicial Committee before it was pulled by state Sen. Mary Hodge, D-Adams County, who said there were enough votes to clear the House but not the Senate. The bill would have required attorneyclient discussions during school board executive sessions to be recorded, no longer excluded from being recorded with other portions of executive session topics and interactions. Had the measure passed, the recorded information would have been only made available to the public after a ruling by a judge finding that matters that should have been public were discussed behind closed

our view doors — which is the standard for all other recorded executive session topics. We like the idea of the entirety of executive sessions being recorded. In our estimation, having the executive sessions taped and safely stored in case they require review by a judge has worked very well. It provides another measure of accountability — another mechanism in the name of good government. On the face of the argument, taping an attorney-client discussion can seem just plain wrong, and we understand opposition arising from the Colorado Bar Association, but school boards are doing the busi-

letter to the editor Thank you for positive coverage

I want to thank you for the great local coverage you provide. I am so disgusted with the Denver Post and their neglect of youth sports, and their negative coverage of Arapahoe High School. You have provided great coverage,

where it is fun again for students to get their picture in the paper for their accomplishments. You have been positive with the healing of Arapahoe, instead of finding extreme parents to knock the community back again. I really appreciate it. D. D. Walsh Highlands Ranch

Passion fuels purpose, drives performance Have you ever been truly inspired, I mean really fired up about something? Maybe it’s a new job, a physical or financial goal, a project, a relationship, a fresh start. When we are fueled by passion — and a desire to engage in the pursuit of our goals — our performance is enhanced regardless of what we are doing. Passion fuels purpose, purpose drives performance, performance leads to results, and results inspire hope. The passionate student will study hard and complete homework assignments in the pursuit of good grades and higher education opportunities. The passionate salesperson will make prospecting calls and learn everything they can about their products, industry, and potential customers recognizing that their efforts will directly impact their income. The passionate spouse will remember all the little things that ignite romance as they continue to enjoy a healthy and love filled relationship. There are so many examples that I can share but what I am talking about here is that when we have passion we will do the behaviors necessary to achieve the levels of success that we so desire. As I talk with people who feel like their personal performance or results have plateaued or even slipped or dipped, a simple diagnostic discussion about their behaviors quickly reveals that there is a loss of interest, a lack of desire, and a bit of mystification about their purpose. We have to remember that we cannot manage our results; we can only manage our behaviors. And our behaviors are largely driven by our passion. You can imagine what happens to the student that stops studying or doing homework. And what would happen to the salesperson that stopped making calls to

prospects or customers? And all of us can probably remember a time when we missed an opportunity to show our spouse a little more love and affection. I have a few friends that are really into fitness and even though they may not feel like getting to the gym or following a healthy diet, they do it because they are passionate about their physical fitness goals. I know many salespeople who really dislike, maybe even hate making prospecting or cold calls, but they do it because they are passionate about their income potential. And I know some of the best business owners and managers who make sacrifices and nurture their teams because they are passionate about their people and seeing them succeed personally and professionally. It starts with passion and provides us with hope. And when we have that passion and we are inspired by hope we will do the behaviors necessary to take us where we want to be in all aspects of our life. What are you passionate about? What gets you really fired up? I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@gmail.com. And when our behaviors are driven by our passion, our results and hope will really make this a better than good week.

ness of the public — the taxpayers — and thereby should be held to higher accountability with safely secured recordings of its exchanges with attorneys. The bill also required that executive session minutes reflect the number of minutes spent on each topic. This adds details that could be provided with little extra effort — another good government measure — but is secondary to whether the additional recording takes place. From the chair of reporters through the years, we notice that elected officials — especially the newly elected — don’t always sync into the role of doing public business in public. It feels much more natural for decision-makers, many from the private sector, to privately discuss and craft decisions and then either adopt an action or compile a report for review at another level.

This is a central reason it is so important to check executive sessions and make sure participants don’t stray from the appropriate closed-door topics, which are generally pending litigation, personnel matters and negotiations. Further, at the Statehouse, debate included talk that this measure should be extended to city councils, where we see various amounts of executive sessions and various concerns across the state, but we are not so sure that should be the next move. Instead we believe this issue with school boards is worth another go around independently at some point, and whether this aspect of executive sessions is changed or not, every debate related to executive sessions and open meetings serves as a strong reminder of the attention to the law required in doing the public’s business in the open.

‘So you want to be a rock ‘n’ roll star’ This is about as close to music as I can get. I am going to string together some songs and lyrics. “Regrets? I’ve had a few” (“My Way”), and almost all of them were in the aftermath of “stumbling down drunken roads” (Dave Matthews’ Folsom Field version of “Two Step”). One of my biggest regrets is that I can’t read or play music. I can paint and draw, thankfully, but I wish that I had picked up a guitar at the same time I was picking up crayons. “Late yesterday night” (“From a Window” written by Lennon and McCartney and given to Billy J. Kramer and the Dakotas), I watched a documentary about the history of the electric guitar. I almost wept. It was on the Smithsonian Channel. The same names kept coming up: Gibson, Fender, Les Paul and then later Jimi Hendrix. I think if I had three wishes, one of them would be this: to play “Walk Don’t Run” on a Fender Stratocaster. “Does that make me crazy? Does that make me crazy?” (“Crazy” by Gnarls Barkley). Sinéad O’Connor said, “I don’t want what I haven’t got.” Easy for her to say. I want what I don’t have. I want to play a “perfectly good guitar” (John Hiatt). I want to play like Mark Knopfler for Jennifer. I want to play lead guitar on “Lady Writer” for Jennifer. About all I can do is whistle. I don’t

know anything about keys. I just read about them on the Internet, and I am still in the dark. “The key of a piece of music usually refers to the tonic note and chord, which gives a subjective sense of arrival and rest.” I used to drink vodka with a tonic note. Not the same thing. Jimmy Page (Led Zeppelin) could probably pick up a $10 ukulele and make it sound great. I am in awe when I watch a singer sing and play guitar at the same time. I can’t do either one separately. I watched Harry Connick, Jr. go around his orchestra at Red Rocks, and play every instrument. I wanted to strangle him.

Finding middle ground at the midpoint

Anger, suspicion, finger-pointing and gridlock; these are the ways of Washington, D.C. When I ran for re-election, I promised rtantto do everything within my power to keep sure Washington-style politics from infesting pri- Colorado. Now that we’re halfway through rally the session, it’s a good time to reflect and and ask: can we reach consensus in the state’s capitol in a way that the federal government seems to find impossible? be Thus far this session the answer is a ree sounding yes! On a whole range of important concerns, wildfire and flood recovery, but economic security, creating jobs, properly ext funding education, increasing access to justice, keeping marijuana out of the hands of children and criminals, protecund tion from cyber-attacks, and more, we have ther been working together to make significant ngedprogress. e Take marijuana, for example. I heard a from constituents who wanted us to do law more to make sure that this newly legalized in substance was kept away from children. I am sponsoring a bill that would make the packaging of marijuana-infused brownies and candies opaque, so young children can’t see what’s inside. It also requires the packaging to be childproof, like medicine

bottles, so that curious toddlers can’t get into the package even if they try. The bill, which respects Coloradans’ wishes that marijuana be regulated like alcohol, stipulates that anyone under 21, who tries to use a fake ID to buy marijuana will be subject to having the ID seized and the police alerted, as is currently the case with alcohol. Licensed pot retailers who sell to under-age people will face increased penalties, the same as liquor stores, up to a possible 18 months in jail. After lengthy discussions with marijuana advocates and opponents, and with legislators from both sides of the aisle, these measures passed the House unanimously. Try doing that in Washington, D.C.

Many of my bills this session have passed the House with unanimous support including an increase in the number of judges serving my judicial district, the 18th. This ensures that people in Arapahoe, Douglas, Lincoln and Elbert counties won’t have to wait so long for their day in court. I have also worked closely with my Republican colleague, Bob Gardner (R-Colorado Springs), to strengthen Colorado’s ability to respond to the increasing number of cyber-attacks on the state’s computer networks, which number in the thousands every day. Our bill gives the Colorado Bureau of Investigation (CBI) the authority to investigate these cyber-attacks. Previously, only the FBI, which often declined to investigate, or local law enforcement, who frequently found themselves ill-equipped to deal with this increasingly complex problem, had authority over cyber-attacks. The people of Colorado will be better protected against cyber criminals and court delays because of these bipartisan efforts. For more than a year, I have been working with a group of legislators and stakeholders to make sure that more children from low-income families have access to a lawyer when facing delinquency proceed-

ings. Our initial proposals met opposition, but we’ve worked with all the critics to address those concerns and I’m pleased to report that my amended House Bill 1032 (“Defense Counsel for Juvenile Offenders”) passed unanimously out of the House Judiciary Committee, which I chair, and awaits further action in the Appropriations Committee. If the bill becomes law, the 45 percent of juveniles who currently go through the delinquency process without a lawyer will have better access to an attorney, another important step to increasing justice across Colorado and protecting every child’s right to fair treatment in our courts. I am honored to serve in the capitol on your behalf, finding common ground on issues like these and am committed to continuing to move Colorado forward this session. I always benefit from hearing from constituents, so please don’t hesitate to contact my office at 303-866-2921 or repkagan@gmail.com. State Rep. Daniel Kagan, a Democrat, serves House District 3, which includes Englewood, Sheridan, Greenwood Village, Cherry Hills Village and parts of Littleton and unincorporated Arapahoe County.

Tax time: Uncle Sam ready to collect again Income taxes are higher for 2013. Those getting ready to file for last year are probably realizing this by now. Brackets went up and some deductions went down. Investments were profitable so some brokerage 1099s reported higher taxable earnings. Payroll taxes increased and those in the highest brackets get to pay an extra 3.8 percent on investment returns. All in all, taxes are rising. There might be a few last minute things you can do that will help reduce your tax liability. Consider funding an IRA account. That’s right, a good old-fashioned, traditional IRA. You have up to your tax filing date to contribute for last year. Most employees who have a 401k plan have forgotten they might also be eligible for an IRA as well. If you are married and filing jointly and only one spouse has a 401k plan, the other spouse may be eligible for a $5,500 deduction or $6,500 if over the age of 50. Check the IRS limits, which range for adjusted gross income from $178,000 to $188,000. Those with two qualified employer plans with incomes under $95,000 can both write off the full contribution. This may be enough to reduce other factors, such as eligibility for the education tax credits. Self-employed individuals may be eligible for a SEP (Simplified Employee Pension). These limits can be substantially higher than an IRA based on business or consulting income. Most plans allow for deductible contributions similar to 401k limits of $17,500 with an over age 50 catch

On odd days, it would be the intro of “Summertime Blues,” by Eddie Cochran. “I’d like to help you son, but you’re too young to vote.” I have a double-CD of guitar music that I have listened to over and over.

I repeat them both, and it fills an entire Sunday afternoon. Acoustic guitar is very pleasing, but it

up provision of another $5,500. For higher income earners, you may also be eligible for a profit sharing contribution up to 25 percent of your business profit, depending on your business structure. It is crucial to get with your tax or financial advisor before the last week of March to see what plans and limits you are eligible for. Consider maximizing your Health Savings Accounts for last year if they have not already been funded. You may be eligible if you had a high deductible health insurance plan starting no later than Dec. 1, 2013. An individual can contribute a tax-deductible amount of $3,250 with a $1,000 catch up provision for anyone over age 55 by Dec. 31. Next, it is not too early to start tax planning for this year. Make sure you are maximizing your 401k contributions through your employer. If you are self-employed, consider establishing an individual 401k plan, which must be set up by October this year. You may be eligible to contribute up to $52,000 depending on your income.

You can fund college savings plans that are eligible for the state income tax deduction for children or grandchildren. To help reduce unwanted taxable investment income, meet with your financial advisor and structure your investments to be tax-efficient. Also, keep track of business expenses all year long in order to maximize deductions. It will also help to plan on making estimated tax payments if needed during the year to help avoid underpayment penalties. It is never too early to start planning for taxes. After all, the goal is to keep more

City manager-search process set Council seeks firm to assist in filling vacancy By Tom Munds

tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia. com The Englewood City Council agreed March 17 on the process to be used in the search for a new city manager to replace Gary Sears, who is retiring in September. “The city council asked the staff to begin the process to identify a new city manager by sending out a request for proposal targeted specifically for firms that specialize in assisting cities looking to hire a new city manager,” said Mike Flaherty, deputy city manager. “The proposal request should take about six weeks. The next step is to identify and hire the search firm with Sept. 1 with the target date to hire a new city manager.” Mayor Randy Penn said the council agreed not to try to do the search process

in-house and gave consensus approval to seek and hire the search firm. He explained the request for proposal will be sent out to the inHelp Wanted formation networks used by search firms. “We will evaluate the proposals and our plan is to interview three finalists in order to select the search firm will hire to assist the city in the process,” Penn said. “The council will deSears fine the priorities they feel the next city manager must possess. We plan to involve residents, department heads and businesses in the process.” Since Sears has been city manager for 17 years, no one on the council has the experience of searching for a city manager. However, some of the senior council members were involved in the process that selected a new police chief and a new fire chief.

Project part of community outreach by Lighthouse Church members

9800 Mt. Pyramid Court, Ste. 400 • Englewood, CO 80112

By Tom Munds

tmunds@ coloradocommunitymedia.com Half a dozen volunteers from Lighthouse Church handled rollers and paint brushes March 11 as they painted the walls of one of the halls at Bishop Elementary School. “We try to do an outreach project once a month and this is our project this month,” said Jessica Olsen, wife of the pastor. “Jesus said help your neighbors. Bishop school is our neighbor so we wanted to help them.” Lighthouse Church has been in Englewood about eight years. It used to meet at

Bishop Elementary School and now meets at Mayflower Church at 3001 S. Acoma St. “We are a Messianic church. We believe in Jesus but we also observe the Jewish religious holidays,” Pastor Peder Olsen said. “We have about 40 people in our congregation. We believe in reaching outside the walls of our building to help others in our community. Our church outreach projects include visits to nursing homes as well as other activities like the painting project at Bishop Elementary School.” He said Lighthouse volunteers had previously done projects at Bishop. “We kept in touch with the school. They Help Wanted told us the halls needed painting so, our volunteers did some of the work on March 12,” the pastor said. “This was our first outreach to the school in a while. But it won’t be the last because we want to help Bishop by doing projects they need done.”

Nursing moms ask DISH for privacy By Jennifer Smith

jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com Some new moms who are among the 35,000 people employed by DISH Network say the company is violating not just the law, but their sense of dignity. “Several of your employees have reported that the arrangements for nursing mothers at DISH have forced them to pump in a bathroom, expose their breasts to pump in front of co-workers and even supervisors, and/or pump in areas where employees passing by were able to see into the lactation room,” wrote Rebecca Wallace, a staff attorney with the ACLU, in a letter to DISH President Joseph Clayton. The American Civil Liberties Union has filed a formal complaint with the company on behalf of several female employees. State and federal laws require employers to provide sufficient private spaces, other than a bathroom, in which nursing employees can express breast milk. The ACLU says DISH is not accomplishing

this at either its corporate headquarters in Douglas County’s Meridian business center, where there is a room with no privacy, or at the DISH Network call center in Littleton, where mothers use a bathroom. DISH officials, in response to a request for comment, did not address whether the current accommodations are adequate. “We are still reviewing the ACLU complaint,” a statement says. “DISH is committed to providing a safe, productive, healthy and family friendly Please workplace. We Publication always Recycle this when Finished welcome suggestions for improvement.” Wallace said a good step would be to get on board with campaigns encouraging breastfeeding for the first year, when possible, as a healthy choice. The ACLU is asking DISH to provide adequate space and privacy in all of its lactation rooms for multiple nursing employees to pump privately at the same time, training for all supervisors and facilities For Local News, managers about accommodations the law Anytime of lactation the Day requires, and post notice in all rooms detailing rights of nursing Visitmothers.

Leaders urge involvement in state water plan Partnerships needed to ensure continued quality and growth By Jane Reuter

jreuter@colorado communitymedia.com Unlike most of its western neighbors, Colorado doesn’t have a water plan. And while a draft of one is underway and due on the governor’s desk in December, officials say it’s vital that the state’s business community get involved in its creation. Several of them reiterated that message during a March 14 Colorado business leaders water policy briefing at the Lone Tree Arts Center. “All but a handful of our neighboring states have water plans,” said James Eklund, director of the Colorado Water Conservation Board (CWCB). “We’re not on the leading edge of this effort. “We’re not going to walk into the Colorado water future we want. We’re going to have to be intentional about it. The power of shared self-interest can overcome the rhetoric you often hear in the water discussion.” The breakfast event was sponsored by Accelerate

From left, speaker and director of Colorado Water Conservation Board James Eklund, president of Accelerate Colorado Bryan Blakely and director of Colorado Competitive Council Mizraim Cordero at the March 14 water policy briefing. Photo by Jane Reuter Colorado, a partnership of businesses and local governments that works with federal leaders on key state interests. None currently are more pressing than water. Gov. John Hickenlooper directed the CWCB to begin work on a state water plan in May 2013. A final report is expected a year after the draft is due, in late 2015. The plan is intended to address a range of issues, including the gap between supply and demand, the impact of climate change, water quality and protection of water rights. Colorado will add 5 million more people by 2050, a projection that underscores the concern about ensuring a secure supply.

“We need to partner together,” said Douglas County Commissioner Jill Repella. “We’re planning today for the next generation and the generation after that.” A prime example of a collaborative water effort is Denver Water’s WISE (Water, Infrastructure and Supply Efficiency) Partnership, which is made up of 17 entities. While not yet finalized, it would allow south metro water agencies to buy renewable water from Denver and Aurora entities. Water is the one resource that could derail the state’s dramatic growth forecast. “Thousands of Colorado businesses depend on this growth and I am one of them,” said Phelps

Engineering president Lonny Phelps. “We’re in a dry climate. It’s not going to change. We are in a water overuse area. It magnifies the need for a state water plan. “If no changes occur, demand will outstrip supply creating shortages.” Colorado’s water issues are unique. In addition to being an arid climate with high growth, it and Hawaii are the only two states from which all water flows out of its borders. Additionally, the state’s water rights are administered according to an Appropriation Doctrine based on the principle of “first in time, first in right.” It allocates the right to a quantity of water to the first person who uses it for a beneficial purpose. Those users get top priority for water when supply is in question. Established in 1879, the doctrine has proven itself time and again, Eklund said. “We’re seeing repeated attempts to do away with the doctrine of prior appropriation,” he said. “It’s not some dead, stale doctrine we’ve outgrown somehow. Our system of local control and private property rights rest son that foundational doctrine.” The CWCB seeks statewide input on the plan. Eklund urged the business

owners in attendance not only to work together on water issues, but to involve others. “Go to your neighbors that don’t have access to this kind of presentation I gave this morning,” he said. “Have a conversation

about why this is important to them. Engage them with a website that makes sense to people that aren’t water wonks.” To view one of those sites, visit www.coloradowaterplan.com.

Sun and shadow, vine and cheese… Colorado Watercolor Society’s annual exhibition in 23rd year By Sonya Ellingboe sellingboe@ coloradocommunitymedia.com Eighty-eight paintings hang in the spacious Lone Tree Arts Center lobby and hallway; watercolors selected from Colorado Watercolor Society members by juror Carl Dalio. Dalio, a nationally recognized painter and teacher from Sedona, Ariz., originally was trained as an architect. While in Denver to jury this show, he also presented a workshop for CWS members. Dalio awarded the Best in Show honor to Frank Francese of Grand Junction for his “Keebler Pass.” It features strong light and shadow contrasts in a crisp, fresh looking, skillfully painted mountain landscape with a stream that almost bubbles, bright patches of sun and a dark sky. Francese teaches workshops across the nation and internationally and one

“Keebler Pass” by Frank Francese won Best of Show in the annual Colorado Watercolor Society’s state exhibit. Photo by Sonya Ellingboe sees from his website that one is scheduled in Littleton in October at Judy Patti’s busy Studio, 5849 S. Broadway. There are many other winners — too numerous to mention them all — but we note Linda Olmstead’s “Lone Star,” an abstract in intense reds that won the Pikes Peak Watercolor Society Award;

Rick Forsyth’s almost print-like “Two Ladies at a Mosque, which won first honorable mention and Cindy Brabec-King’s large, mouthwatering “Vine and Cheese,” which was awarded second honorable mention. Tanis Bula of Littleton, known for her florals, won the Pained Toe Society’s

award for her handsome “Iris in Sunlight” and Littleton’s Joyce Shelton won a fourth honorable mention for her whimsical “Dog’s Best Friend.” The variety in techniques and styles makes this a worthwhile exhibit to visit for those trying to master this tricky medium, as well as for those who have done so. One will still wonder: “How did she do that?” when looking closely at some of the varied and intricate effects. If only the lighting were better. When the center was built, the acoustics in the theater received precise attention with excellent results, but some advice from a lighting expert is still in order for maximum effective presentation of visual artwork. We feel confident that it will happen. If you go: The 23rd Annual State Exhibition of the Colorado Watercolor Society runs through March 30 at the Lone Tree Arts Center, 10075 Commons St., Lone Tree. Gallery hours: 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Mondays through Fridays and prior to performances. Art sales can be handled through the box office. Admission is free.

Forbidden love drives post World War II story British author Alison McQueen to present work in Denver By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia. com “Under the Jeweled Sky,” by British author Alison McQueen weaves a complex, bittersweet tale of forbidden love, the unimaginable wealth of a maharaja’s palace and the unimaginable poverty of millions of people suddenly homeless. Chapters alternate between 1947-48 and 1957-58, with a final entry in 1970, weaving parts of a story that centers on one Sophie Scholfield — a British teen when she first arrives in India with her adventurous father, a doctor, and her disturbed, unhappy mother. They become part of a maharaja’s household, where the doctor cares for several of the potentate’s wives and sometimes others in a world apart from the rest of the huge country. McQueen will be in Denver to meet readers and promote her new book — the latest of seven — from 7 to 8 p.m. on March 22 at the Bookbar book and wine bar at 4280 Tennyson St., in the Berkeley neighborhood of Denver. In 1947, England, exhausted from World

War II, withdrew from its century-long rule in India and Independence was declared, as well as the poorly executed partitioning of India, Pakistan and Bangladesh, according to cultural/religious beliefs. Despite pleas from Jawaharlal Nehru and Mahatma Gandhi for a harmonious land, millions of people became homeless and streamed across the miles to live with other Hindus, Muslims and Sikhs, resulting in what could only be called genocide in many areas. The description of sprawling refugee camps sound like Syria today. Sophie Scholfield is the author’s thread that ties this historical novel together, starting with her exploration of the vast palace and eventual love affair with a young man with brown skin — totally unacceptable to her parents and his father. Both families move on, with young Jag unaware of her pregnancy. The arrival of a son is a means to tie more characters together eventually as well as an insight into societal customs at that time. McQueen, who draws some of her story details from her mixed-race mother’s adventures as a nurse in a maharaja’s palace, is skilled at descriptions of places, smells, sounds, and people of all sorts, giving her story almost the effect of a series of detailed tapestries depicting events. Her few principal characters are well defined but many others seem part of a shifting pattern of color and sound as the story moves to different locations. The au-

British writer Alison McQueen will appear in Denver to promote her new novel, “Under the Jeweled Sky.” Courtesy photo thor is a screenwriter as well and it’s not hard to envision a film growing from this colorful story. When Sophie returns to India as the wife of a stuffy British diplomat, the reader enters yet another facet of life “Under the Jeweled Sky,” an isolated world unto itself.

Remembering the Ludlow Massacre Anthony J. Garcia brings historical story back to stage

ing women and 11 children. It was an important moment in the history of Colorado and in the development of the American Labor movement. A year ago, Gov. John Hickenlooper established the Ludlow Centennial Commission, which includes historians, academics, union and National Guard representatives and a librarian. Together, they scheduled events at various locations to commemorate the Ludlow Massacre and events surrounding it. Included in interpretative events is a production of Anthony J. Garcia’s play, “Ludlow: El Grito de Las Minas (The Cry of the Mines),” presented at El Centro Su Teatro through March 30. It’s an update, with new music, to a play Garcia wrote some years ago while visiting his sister in Walsenberg and studying the area’s history. (Some original cast members are also in this production.) The play, with musical direction by

On April 20, 1914, the Colorado Coalfield War that had started in September 1913 turned into a skirmish between striking miners and the Colorado State Militia.

IF YOU GO “Ludlow: El Grito de las Minas (The Cry of the Mines)” plays through March 30 at Su Teatro, 721 Santa Fe Drive in Denver, with performances at 7:30 p.m. Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays and one matinee at 2 p.m. Sunday, March 30. For tickets: www.suteatro.org, 303-296-0219.

Daniel Valdez, traces the history of a fictional Hispanic family, from the viewpoint of Amelia (Megally Luna), who visits Trinidad to sell her grandmother’s old house. That grandmother was Sara Martinez (also played by Megally Luna) who is modeled on Garcia’s strong mother, he writes. After the family loses its New Mexico ranch, the husband goes to work as a miner and loses his life in a cave-in. Sara and her two sons, Pepe and Jesus move to southern Colorado to work for Colorado Fuel and Iron, owned by John D. Rockefeller. Scenes

move between 1991, 1905, 1913, 1914 and back to 1991. A large cast tells the miner’s story and several parallel more personal ones. Garcia’s characters represent the Mexican portion of the coal miners, but they talk about the wide variation of nationalities and races found in this community: Greek, Italian, Eastern European, Black, Norwegian and more — and they also talk about the distrust between them — the atmosphere was volatile in more ways than just the labor/management tension. Music is always part of Garcia’s plays and here it varies from Mexican folk music to a Chilean miners song to Garcia’s new “April Mourning Song.” The live band is a fine addition to the production, placed to the edge just below the stage. While acting is a bit uneven, many cast members have strong voices and the ensemble tells a compelling story of an era in Colorado history.

Former chef cooks up cancer-fighting foods Pam Braun maps path to wellness through healthy diet By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia. com In 2004 California writer Pam Braun was told she had late-stage cancer. Doctors predicted a 15 percent chance of survival and 75 percent chance of recurrence. The former chef and restaurant owner, like many, underwent recommended treatments, but she also did more. She started an ongoing research project on foods and their relationships to cancer and because of it she stayed well. She emphatically states: “some foods have been scientifically shown to help prevent certain cancers and other foods have been scientifically shown to help cause certain cancers.” She adds that women have a one-in-three chance of developing cancer and men and newborns a one-in-two chance in their lifetime. Her own diagnosis began with lymphoma and moved to late-stage fallopian tube cancer, which she beat initially, and then followed through ongoing research on foods as a way to prevent recurrence. Braun will appear at 7:30 p.m. March 28 at Tattered Cover, 9315 Dorchester Street in Highlands Ranch, to introduce her beauti-

It should offer helpful ideas to patients and those who cook for them — as well as those on a preventative path. Most recipes contain a good many ingredients, but Braun offers a page on her idea of pantry basics, which would be a place to start, followed by a weekly shopping trip. There are lists of foods to avoid (red meat, salt, processed meats, sugars, fats… nothing the reader hasn’t already heard, but all in one place here.)

Pirates get big diamond win Englewood bests Denver South for first victory of the season By Tom Munds

tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia. com

Leadoff hitter Mario Vega drives a ball into the outfield for the Pirates March 17 in a 10-3 win over Denver South.

Englewood’s baseball team spotted Denver South a three-run lead then came back to win the March 17 non-league game 10-3. “This was our first win of the season and it was a nice reward for our players for all the hard work they have put in,” Pirates Coach Tim Mitchell said. “We played pretty well in the three games we lost because we are a good team and we will work to keep getting better.” The Pirates were at home against Fort Lupton in a league game March 19 and then traveled to Fort Lupton March 21 before

spring break. Following the weeklong break, the Pirates are at home March 31 in a non-league game against Manual. League action continues April 2 on the road at Elizabeth. In the March 17 game against Denver South, Englewood gave up three runs in the top of the first inning but battled back in the home half of the inning to take a 4-3 advantage. The Pirates scored runs by combining hits, aggressive base running and a couple Denver South mistakes to stretch the lead to 6-3 by the bottom of the third inning. Brian Schrock was on the mound for the Pirates. The coach said he gave up some walks and hits early but, after the first inning, he settled down, threw strikes and closed down the Denver South batters for the remainder of the game.

Englewood records shutout in boys lacrosse Pirates score early, often to move to .500 on young season By Tom Munds

tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia. com Englewood’s lacrosse team improved to 1-1 on the young season on with an impressive 13-0 win over Kennedy. “This gives our players a lot of confidence in what they can accomplish,” said the Pirates new head coach Matt Thomas, after the March 14 game. “We have started the process of rebuilding this program. We are making a good start but our small roster is a challenge so we are looking for more players to join our team.” The Pirates have time to do some recruiting and get new players involved in practices, as the team is not scheduled to compete again until after spring break. Students return from spring break March 28 and the Englewood lacrosse team returns to action April 1 at home against Gateway and April 4 against Clear Creek. The faceoff for each game will be at 6 p.m.

and the games will be played in Englewood High School Stadium. On March 14, the Pirates controlled the tempo of play from the opening faceoff until the final buzzer. Englewood constantly pressed the attack and most of the game was spent on Kennedy’s side of midfield. The Pirates scored quickly and kept scoring, building their lead up to 10-0 by halftime. The 13 goals on the scoreboard at the end of the game are the most goals an Englewood lacrosse team has scored in recent years. The coach substituted frequently throughout the game, and in the second half had players, including starters, go into the game in positions they don’t usually play. For example, midfielders move to defense and defenders played on the attack line. “I think our strength is our midfield,” Thomas said. “We put in a lot of things these players haven’t done before such as a one-three-two motion offense and a strong team defense to control the game like we did today.” Thomas said his midfield will be led by Shutout continues on Page 18

sophomore Caleb Medina and junior Austin Trail, who he expects to be the leading scorers for the Pirates this season. He said the defensive leader will be Collin Owens who will also be moved to attack when the Pirates are on the power play. Against Kennedy, Trail scored four goals and was credited with three assists. “The Kennedy goalie was good at stopping high shots so I took bounce shots,” Trail said. “That means I shot the ball hard at the ground in front of the net. Those shots worked for me.”

Pirates Continued from Page 17

The win over Denver South makes Englewood’s record 1-3. “We have been in all three games we lost this season,” Mitchell said. “In a couple of those games, we had to put in a young pitcher as a reliever and the other team got to us.” He said he feels his team’s strength probably is the talent of the left side of the infield with with Tyler Harris at

Trail said he had fun when he got to play some shifts on defense in the final two quarters. He said, on defense, he finally got a chance to check opponents. He also said this year’s team has more spirit and is playing better lacrosse. “This year, we are a team working together,” he said. “Also, our new coach stressed the fundamentals, particularly passing. That’s important because we didn’t pass well the last couple years.” Thomas has coached for 15 years including 10 years as a head lacrosse coach. He started lacrosse programs in Hasting, Minn., and Highlands Ranch, and after coaching teams into the playoffs in both locations; he became an assistant at Mountain Vista, before taking the Englewood job.

We want to change that so our guys can get more hitting practice.” Harris is a senior who plays third base when he isn’t on the mound. “I feel good, I feel strong and I am looking for some wins,” Harris said. “I feel I am a better pitcher this year than I was last year. I am stronger, I feel I am more consistent and I feel I can locate my pitches to the spot the catcher calls

for them.” He said his best pitch is his fastball and it is most effective when he can keep the fastball low and on the outside edge of the strike zone. “When I get ahead in the count with my fastball, I come back with a slider,” he said. “I can throw a cut fastball and I am working to develop a better changeup.” When he comes to the plate, he said he is seeing the ball well and is making good contact. He said, after three games, he is 6-for-8, had driven in three runs and has hit a home run.

South Metro Denver Chamber mounts Calendar of Events BIG push for the B.I.G. Day With a 6 weeks to go, The South Metro Denver Chamber’s Nonprofit & Business Partnership is pushing to fill the last slots left for the 4th Annual B.I.G. Day taking place on Saturday, April 26th. 25 non-profits have signed up for the event. This year’s goal is to have over 1,000 volunteers helping local non-profits with whatever needs doing between 8:30 and noon on the B.I.G. Day. B.I.G. stands for “Be Involved, Give.” “Last year we had hundreds of volunteers working together in a wide variety of projects,” said Chamber President and CEO John Brackney. “You don’t have to be a chamber member to volunteer so we encourage businesses, service clubs, church groups and families to join us in rolling up our sleeves to make a difference on this most special day.” Examples of the types of volunteer opportunities range from weeding and planting at the Denver Botanic Gardens, putting meals together for TLC Meals on Wheels, sort and load medical supplies with Project CURE, cleaning parks with the South Suburban Park Foundation,

Volunteers plant new growth at the Denver Botanic Gardens during last year’s B.I.G. Day.

packing food boxes for distribution at the Action Center and many others both indoors and out. Many projects allow young children to help when accompanied by an adult - a great way to teach community involvement. At last year’s B.I.G. Day, both nonprofits and volunteers alike said the B.I.G. Day was just that: Brien Darby, Manager of the Denver Botanic Gardens community gardening program was thrilled with the experience. “I presented them with some very big tasks with a lot of digging and heavy lifting and they were just about the most enthusiastic group I have ever worked with! We completed all the tasks I had planned and even started on a few additional projects. I really appreciate the level of teamwork and “ready for anything” attitude that we consistently receive from volunteers participating in the BIG help day.” “The BIG day was such a rewarding experience for me. Helping Spa4thePink alongside an amazing group of people really showed me what a difference we can make in our community,” said volunteer Mary Soldwisch of Nexus Web Studio. Businesses, organizations and even families can also bring their work force together and sign up as a team to help a nonprofit. Organization and company teams will be given special marketing opportunities and recognition. “If at first you succeed, then do it again,” says Brackney. “On Saturday April 26th, we plan on doing just that. In just one morning you, your family, club or business can truly make a difference in our community, meet and learn about the great non-profits that serve our area and best of all have great fun doing it.” The B.I.G. Day isn’t all work and no play. After a full morning of volunteering, participants are invited to the South Metro Denver Chamber offices for a celebration full of fun and

It will be about a year before residents will be able to visit its replacement, which will be similar to the new one at Federal Boulevard and Belleview Avenue and include a drive-through pharmacy on the west side, two front entrances on the east, a resurfaced and realigned parking lot and a Starbucks kiosk inside. The current Starbucks in the outlying northern building will stay; that building and the southern one with the new Mattress Firm will remain but get moderate facelifts, said Eric Chekal, senior project manager at Regency Cen-

ters, which owns the site. In the meantime, shoppers who don’t drive can catch RTD’s 0 bus on the southwest corner in front of the store. It goes south to Mineral Avenue and Broadway, where there is another King Soopers and a Safeway. It runs every half hour from 4:49 a.m. to 2:20 a.m., and there is a charge of $2.25 each way for the 10-minute trip. Littleton residents who are disabled or 55 and older can utilize the city’s free Shopping Cart or Omnibus program. The Omnibus picks up passengers at Wells Fargo Bank, 5601 S. Broadway, on Wednesdays at 9 a.m. and returns them at 11 a.m.; or on Fridays with a noon pickup and 2 p.m. return. The Shopping Cart will provide service to the Mineral King Soopers during construction, as well. Call 303-7953700 or visit www.littletongov.org for a detailed schedule and other information. Once the new store opens, those who walk there should find it easier to do so, with improve-

Just add water. A pile of dirt and mulch, or ingredients for disaster? A simple decision on where you store your landscaping material could have a big impact on water quality. Landscaping materials left in the street travel with rain or sprinkler water directly into the storm drain. When planning your project, consider proper storage to prevent material from coming in contact with stormwater.

in Centennial Park, which surrounds Centennial Lake. Englewood anticipates that up to 15 acres within Centennial Park will be irrigated with Pershin Spring groundwater in the future. The irrigated acreage is located in the S1/2 of the NE1/4 of Section 8, Township 5 South, Range 68 West, of the 6th P.M. This water will only be used in the vicinity of Centennial Park. Centennial Park and its currently irrigated acreage are shown in Exhibit C. 10. Englewood is the owner of the land affected by this application. Application for Approval of Augmentation Plan 11. Overview of Plan: Englewood seeks a groundwater right for “Pershin Spring” which provides groundwater to an unlined gravel pit named Centennial Lake that is constructed in the alluvium of the South Platte River. Groundwater inflow into Centennial Lake from Pershin Spring is continuously discharged from Centennial Lake directly into the South Platte River. In addition to the groundwater right described above, Englewood seeks approval of a plan for augmentation to replace evaporative losses and depletions of groundwater that is pumped for irrigation in Centennial Park, which surrounds Centennial Lake. Englewood does not seek a water storage right in this application. This Plan for Augmentation serves to quantify and replace the depletions in time, amount and location to prevent injury to other water rights. 12. Name of structure to be augmented: Pershin Spring (see above). a. Decree: a groundwater right for Pershin Spring is sought in this application. See above for description of the groundwater right. No other water rights are diverted from this structure. 13. Water rights to be used for augmentation: the water used to augment the out-of-priority depletions to the South Platte River caused by evaporation and pumping of Pershin Spring groundwater will be provided by the following Englewood water rights decreed in the South Platte River basin. All of the water rights described below are decreed for augmentation uses. a. Englewood’s groundwater rights decreed in Case No. 89CW61, which consist of 1,896.2 acre-feet per year of nontributary water from the Laramie-Fox Hills, Lower Arapahoe, and Upper Arapahoe aquifers. b. Englewood’s groundwater rights as decreed in Case No. 89CW62, which includes 854.9 acre-feet per year of not-nontributary water from the Denver, undifferentiated Arapahoe and LaramieFox Hills aquifers, and 24.8 acre-feet per year of nontributary water from the Laramie-Fox Hills aquifer. c. Englewood’s water rights in the Nevada Ditch as decreed in Case No. 88CW202. These rights provide Englewood with up to 409 acrefeet per year of consumptive use entitlements under Priority No. 4 (priority date of August 30, 1861) and up to 105 acre-feet per year of consumptive use entitlements under Priority No. 19 (priority date of December 30, 1865). Only the consumptive use entitlement will be used for augmentation of Pershin Spring. d. Englewood’s water rights in the Brown Ditch as decreed in Case No. 86CW14. These rights provide Englewood with up to 41 acre-feet per year of consumptive use under Priority No. 9 (priority date of November 30, 1862). Only the consumptive use entitlement will be used for augmentation of Pershin Spring. e. Englewood’s water rights in the McBroom Ditch as decreed in Case No. 88CW203. These rights provide Englewood with up to 227 acre-feet per year of consumptive use (priority date of November 1, 1859). Only the consumptive use entitlement will be used for augmentation of Pershin Spring. f. Englewood’s municipal water rights in the McBroom Municipal Intake as decreed in Case Nos. 89CW63 and 00CW45. g. Englewood’s fully consumable water stored in, and released from McLellan Reservoir including the sources listed in subsections a through e above, and water rights associated with Englewood’s enlargement and refill right for McLellan Reservoir as decreed in Case No. 90CW219. h. Englewood’s contractual right to delivery of municipally decreed, consumptive use water from the City of Aurora, which right is set forth in the October 4, 2010 Intergovernmental Agreement between Englewood and the City of Aurora (“Aurora”). The Intergovernmental Agreement requires Aurora to deliver to Englewood 509 acre-feet per year of single use water or 339 acrefeet per year of fully consumable water. Only the consumptive contractual entitlement will be used for augmentation of Pershin Spring. i. Return flows from reusable sources owned by Englewood that are calculated using the methodology established in the decree in Case No. 92CW30. j. Other water rights decreed for augmentation use that may be acquired in the future by Englewood. 14. Location of Augmentation Water: the augmentation sources described above will be provided at the following locations. A map showing the location of depletions and augmentation supply is attached hereto as Exhibit D. a. Within the reach of the South Platte River beginning at the point of discharge from Chatfield Reservoir to the South Platte River, located in the NE1/4 of Section 1, T6S, R69W, 6th P.M. and continuing downstream to the point of discharge for the Littleton/Englewood Wastewater Treatment Plant to the South Platte River located in the NE1/4 of Section 33, T4S, 68W, 6th P.M. b. The confluence of Bear Creek and the South Platte River located in the NW1/4 of Section 4, T5S, 68W, 6th P.M. c.

The locations where Englewood’s fully consumable lawn irrigation return flows enter the South Platte River, which locations shall be determined by proration among the natural drainage basins within Englewood’s service area. 15. No water rights will be changed to provide sources of augmentation. 16. Complete statement of plan for augmentation: this augmentation plan provides the replacement of depletions from Pershin Spring from evaporative losses as the water flows through Centennial Lake and from water used for irrigation within Centennial Park. The location of depletions from the use of Pershin Spring is shown in Exhibit D. Depletions from evaporative losses and from water used for irrigation are considered to be instantaneous. When there is a call on the South Platte River downstream of the location of depletions shown in Exhibit D, Englewood will release water from one or more of its augmentation sources described above. This plan replaces depletions in time, location, and amount to prevent injury to other water users. This application does not include an application for an appropriative right of exchange. 17. Englewood is the owner of the land affected by this application. This plan for augmentation does not involve the construction of any new diversion or storage structures, or modification to any existing diversion or storage structures. Englewood owns all structures necessary to operate the plan for augmentation described herein.
