Victims’ rights pioneer retires after 40 years
Nancy Feldman spent nearly 40 years helping people through the most terrible times in their lives. “One of the nice things about starting in 1975, before there was victim assistance, is having the opportunity to see it develop into a field,” she said on the afternoon of Sept. 10, 10 days into her retirement from the Colorado Division of Criminal Justice. Feldman, who has lived in Littleton since 1977, helped pave the way in the south-metro area for ensuring victims of crime were heard. She began her career in 1975, working in the 18th Judicial District Attorney’s Office as one of the first counselors hired in what was then the new juvenile diversion program. That experience led to a position with the Littleton Police Department as a youth counselor. Being a sworn officer was a requirement of the job, and she became one of just four women

As Littleton City Council reviewed priorities for the near future, it became evident members will not shy away from uttering the words “bond issue.” “This year’s budget has a lot of capital improvements in it,” City Manager Michael Penny said during the Sept. 9 study session. “We need to start a community conversation. … It’s going to come from some kind of bond issue.” On the wish list of things new taxes could pay for are repairing and improving city buildings, new playground equipment at all parks, finding parking solutions, moving Fire Station 12 out of Littleton Center to free up space for other departments, and improving traffic flow on Broadway, Mineral Avenue and Santa Fe Drive. “These are real things,” said Penny. “We’re not just putting out the golden cows, like closing the library on Sunday afternoons. These are defined capital projects.” Mayor Pro Tem Bruce Beckman said there are many issues to take care of, and infrastructure is definitely one of them. “If we can’t get support for that, then we’re going to have to restructure the government,” he said. “But we have to know what the public wants, and we have to find a way to be honest and legitimate about it.” Mayor Phil Cernanec noted another of council’s priorities is improving outreach to the public in general. “We need consent on the solution, but first we need consensus on the problem,” said Cernanec. Councilmember Debbie Brinkman praised improvements over the past few years that have come from implementation of new neighborhood programs such as mediation services and the reinstatement of National Night Out. But she said it’s still tough to get public input when the council wants it. “We need to hear from our whole community, not just a small group we hear from all the time,” she said. “We’re not on the 5 o’clock news every night like the feds are.” Council’s top 10 priorities, in order of importance: • Redevelop opportunities downtown • Development opportunities at Mineral Avenue and Santa Fe Drive • Improve Santa Fe and Bowles Avenue intersection • Capital improvements to streets, buildings and infrastructure • Update zoning to allow longterm plan for housing stock • Support business • Improve public outreach • Assist aging residents • Revitalize Littleton Boulevard corridor • Implement Littleton Fire Rescue priorities

One is the number that adds up to compassion
FACES AMONG US

HELLO
... My Name Is
A glimpse of the people in our community
FRANK MAKRAY Business owner, father of seven My background My family has been in this business, leather and furs, since 1830. That’s what I have papers to show. It actually goes back much further than that. I’m not that old, but I’m getting kind of close. I’ve been in the United States since 1956, and I’ve been self-employed since day one. I come from Hungary. I’m not married, I’m single now. I’ve been married four times. At one time I had a factory in Denver with up to 40 people working there, and we were doing wholesale. But since the late ‘80s, it’s a smaller operation doing service work. My hobbies I’m very active for my age. I’m 76. I go to the local gym three times a week. I swim, bike and exercise.
I love skiing, hiking and hunting. That’s why I came to Colorado. It’s beautiful here, and I love the outdoors. I love Colorado. My biggest adventure Coming to the United States. It was a revolution with Hungary against Russia in 1956, and I was involved with that. I was a refugee. I was 18, and I learned English in six months. I got involved in the local community where I lived in Ohio, I was very active there, and raising a family and so on. What I’m proud of My accomplishments, my family and my children. I worked hard to build the business I have, Colorado Leather and Furs, and it’s successful. I worked hard to get everything I have. I have seven beautiful children, and they’re all successful, so I must have been doing something right. Three of them are in the military. One is a retired major, one is a Navy chief and one is an Army captain. By Jennifer Smith. If you have a suggestion for My Name Is… contact her at jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com.
The photo wrenched the world: A Syrian boy in a red Tshirt and blue shorts, black Velcro sneakers on his feet, his face halfburied in sand as waves ebbed and flowed around him. Dead. Drowned. Human debris washed ashore by a surging tide of desperation so great that the hope of opportunity seemed worth the risk of unimaginable loss. His name was Aylan Kurdi. He was 3 years old. The image of his death galvanized a global community to outrage — and, ultimately, universal compassion — over a problem that wasn’t new. The stream of migrants pouring into Europe, chasing dreams to better lives, began last year as they fled poverty, war and violence in the Middle East and North Africa. Record numbers in recent months pushed the situation to a crescendo. But even then, we — as a global citizenry — did not really hear the roar. Then came the image of Aylan’s death, which social media ensured the world rapidly saw. And suddenly, the reality of this international crisis became personal, one we could relate to wherever we lived, one that pulled compassion from wherever it was hiding. Because Aylan could have been our son, our brother, our grandson, our friend. We could have been his parent, his sister, his aunt, his neighbor. “It’s not the severity or the objective facts of a disaster that motivate us to feel compassion and help,” psychologist David DeSteno, director of Northeastern University’s Social Emotions Lab, said at a 2012 PopTech confer-
ence. “It’s whether or not we see ourselves in the victims.” As a longtime journalist, I know that to be Ann Macari true. The Healey ability to peel away layers of a complex issue to one person’s relatable experiences results in the most powerful stories — regardless of whether they’re about an issue of national importance or a simple, quiet, ordinary moment in life. They create universal understanding that connects us to humanity. They bring us together as community. They show us why we should care. And, sometimes, they sway our hearts to a different place or push us to action. I’m awed by the power of photography to convey all that without words. Even in today’s multimedia society, in which video is king and information an eternal bombardment, a photograph can still freeze time and force us to stop long enough to feel its message unequivocally. Consider Dorothea Lange’s 1936 photograph of a hungry, desperate mother and her children during the Great Depression. Or the 1972 black-and-white image of 9-year-old Kim Phuc, running terrified and naked after a South Vietnamese plane accidentally dropped napalm on its own citizens. Or the firefighter emerging from the rubble of the Oklahoma City bombing in 1995, cradling a dying 1-year-old baby.
I remember carefully cutting out that last picture from a newspaper and tucking it away in a folder I keep of good writing that inspires me. I was a parent of two young children, and it touched me deeply, made me feel the anguish and sorrow of that mother, but also the love of humanity and the strength of compassion. Award-winning New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof searches relentlessly for the one voice through which to bring an issue to life in words. The documentary “Reporter,” which follows his 2009 quest for that single person to illustrate the consequence of ongoing warfare in Democratic Republic of Congo, shows his almost formulaic approach to create compassion and action from what he writes. But he bases it on studies of the psychology of compassion, one of which demonstrates that people respond more to the photograph of one starving child as compared to a photograph with two or more children. “Perhaps the most important image to represent a human life is that of a single face,” Paul Slovic, a psychology professor at University of Oregon, wrote in a 2007 academic journal following research into psychic numbing — or the collapse of compassion — related to the Darfur genocide. He found “most people are caring and will exert great effort” for someone in need. These same people, however, “often become numbly indifferent to the plight of ‘the one’ who is one of many in a much greater problem.” “When it comes to eliciting compassion,” he said, “the

Stokes stoked to run for District 1 seat reality and continue to rise, I am looking to support new revenue streams to ensure services we have been accustomed to can continue with minimal tax burden to the citizens,” she said. Stokes once had an office on Main Street, just a block from where Hopping’s hospitality consulting firm has been for 15 years. She published The Ranch Reporter from her office from 2002 to 2005. Stokes It was an independent newsletter that covered Highlands Ranch issues, where she owned a house from 1998 to 2006. She did not respond by deadline to a request to confirm whether she actually lived there at the time, but assessor’s records show she purchased her Littleton home in 2006. Stokes is the single mom of four kids, the youngest of whom attends Euclid Middle School. The other three
are attending college. “(I) chose to raise my loving family of four children here because of its people, their values, an outstanding school system, and the character and charm of Littleton,” she said. Stokes is a senior business technology executive who says she has worked with institutions such as the New York Federal Reserve Bank, Thomson Reuters, Blue Cross Blue Shield and Microsoft. She currently works for 5280 Solutions in Highlands Ranch. A yoga instructor, she also co-owns Golden Peak Yoga Littleton. The studio opened in January in the old sheriff’s building, which is slated for demolition now that the city has approved a developer’s plans to build a mixed-use project on the site. An advocate for the Colorado Center for the Blind in Littleton, Stokes volunteers to lead yoga classes for its students each week. She has also served on the University of Colorado Parents Association as the grants com-
mittee chair. Stokes says she is also passionate about outdoor sports, health and fitness, and she makes full use of the parks and trail systems in Littleton. “I represent a fresh voice and new ideas dedicated to providing outreach to the community,” she says on her website. She now joins a field of seven candidates running for five seats in the Nov. 3 election. In the at-large race, Councilmember Peggy Cole will try to protect her seat, with former mayor Doug Clark and newcomer Andrea Brown also in the running for one of the two seats up for grabs. The second open seat is currently Bruce Stahlman’s; he declined to run again, citing a need to spend more time with his family. Councilmember Jerry Valdes has no opposition in District 2, but longtime community activist Carol Brzeczek is challenging Councilmember Debbie Brinkman in District 4.

Yoga instructor, technology consultant takes on Hopping
By Jennifer Smith jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com Political newcomer Brenda Stokes, who lives and works in the Sterne Park neighborhood, is hoping to keep Bill Hopping hopping on the campaign trail as she seeks the Littleton City Council District 1 seat he now holds. “I’m running for city council because I have always been passionate about politics and local government,” she said in a release. “I’m in a position in my life and career where I can give back to, and bring a new voice for, the Littleton community.” Stokes is running for the post to which Hopping was appointed in April. She says she will advocate for responsible government, economic viability, safety and sustainability. “While fees for city services are a

DOGS IN THE POOL
TAKING THE PLUNGE
Centennial resident Steve Murphy helps Sophie, an 8-year-old shiba inu, from the water at the Puppy Paddle at Holly Pool on Sept. 12. “We’re just trying to get her acclimated to the water, get her out of her comfort space,” Murphy said. Dozens of dogs filled Holly Pool in Centennial on Sept. 12 during the annual Puppy Paddle. The South Suburban Parks and Recreation event was an opportunity for pups to swim and splash their way toward tennis balls and other objects — or just take a dip — as they received encouragement from their owners, who were told to stay out of the pool for health reasons. Mavis, a 5-year-old American bulldog, enjoys the tradition, her owners said. But it takes her a little while to warm up to the water. “She’s always a little nervous going in at first,” said Centennial resident Maggie Marshall.

in her class at the police academy. “I feel like it’s kind of false advertising to say I was a police officer,” she said. “It was so I could do child-abuse cases, for when I had to take the child out of the house.” At the time, Littleton police had just one female officer. “So for sexual assault calls, if they requested a woman and she wasn’t available, there I was,” said Feldman. “That’s when I started getting interested in the victim-assistance field.” With the department’s blessing, she rounded up some volunteers and started LPD’s first rape-response program. One of those volunteers, Linda Suttle, today heads up Littleton’s victim-advocate program, which evolved from Feldman’s team. “Nancy is the best,” said Suttle. “She has been instrumental in every piece of legislation for crime victims, including the victim-compensation law and the victim-rights amendment.

Marshall and his wife, Maggie, brought Mavis to the Puppy Paddle at Holly Pool for a third straight year Sept. 12. compensation ordinance, Nancy was the first one I called to be on the board that reviews claims from victims of property crimes. She has been an inspiration and a force for victims, and I’m very lucky to consider her my friend.” Not long after that, Arapahoe County Sheriff Ed Nelson decided his office needed a program for victims, too, and that Feldman was just the person to have on board. She cofounded that program as well, and both continue strong to this day. “It was really a new concept at the time,” she said. “Arapahoe County was one of the first ones that handled all types of cases, not just sexual assaults. … Officers weren’t used to working with civilians. When we introduced the victims program, it was just a whole different change of culture. It’s definitely the most challenging job I’ve had, but that made it also the most rewarding.” Feldman later went back to the DA’s office to continue on her path of advocacy. While there, she worked with Gallagher and Patty Moschner to build Sungate Child Advocacy Center, now known as SungateKids. It was designed as a safe place for child victims to tell their stories to trained interviewers and to cut down on

how many times they had to relive them. “Bob Gallagher was just a really innovative person,” she said. “With kid sex abuse, they just had to go through so many interviews. It was endless. He just said, ‘We need to do this.’” She finally landed as manager of the office for victim programs in the Colorado Division of Criminal Justice, where she was instrumental in finding federal money for assistance of victims in large tragedies like the Aurora theater and Platte Canyon High School shootings. Although those cases garnered worldwide attention, sometimes the quieter ones were the most haunting. Feldman remembers two in particular, both in Littleton. In the first, a man killed his wife, leaving her body in a Dumpster. “They had two boys, 19 and 15,” she said. “Their mother was dead and their father was arrested. They were totally parentless. The older one was going to try to take care of the younger one, but he was only 19.” The other was the 1985 murder of Denise Davenport, a student at the University of Northern Colorado who went missing in February of that year. Her remains were found in the South Platte River that

April. Davenport grew up in Littleton and her mother, Carrie, still lived there, so LPD handled the victim assistance. “I stayed in contact with Carrie for years,” said Feldman. “That was always hard, especially since it was never solved. She never really got over it before she died. I was the person she could talk to about it for years and years, when everybody else had gone on.” With those memories and happier ones, Feldman now looks forward to making more happy ones with her family and, especially, her first granddaughter, 7-month-old Audrey Grace. She might even save a little time for her husband, Ethan, Littleton’s municipal judge. “In my not unbiased opinion, Nancy has been a pioneer in victim advocacy in Littleton and Arapahoe County and Colorado,” said Judge Feldman. “She has been a most valuable citizen and public servant for our city, county and state. She has had a career that actually matters, that has touched many lives. … It’s interesting how victims’ rights have evolved. Back then, there was no such thing as a domestic-violence case. It was all hidden. The new emphasis on victims has really shined some light on what happens in society.”

Chef wades into breakfast battle Merle’s co-owner is contestant in nationwide competition
By Jennifer Smith jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com

The Hometown Breakfast Battle is on, and chef David Baudier from Merle’s Restaurant has stepped up to represent Littleton in a big way with his South Western Benedict. The battle is a national competition sponsored by Thomas’, the brand of English muffins Baudier uses in all his Benedicts. The company is celebrating 135 years in business by inviting 135 chefs from across the country to create the best breakfasts that represent their region. “Each chef will … showcase how easy and fun it is to add some local flair and approachability to breakfast, a meal that has surged in popularity and creativity in recent years,” reads a release from Thomas’. Baudier thinks he’s got a pretty good chance at bringing home the bacon with his Benedict, which features chorizo sausage, poached eggs, Anaheim peppers, jalapeño hollandaise, ovenroasted tomatoes and toasted English muffin. “It’s a very good seller, No. 1 for our Benedicts,” he said. Baudier has been with Merle’s since before it opened seven years ago, when the job lured him away from North
Carolina. He’s been an executive chef for 10 years, but food has always been his passion. “Growing up, I remember my grandmother’s kitchen, and helping her make all kinds of Italian food,” he said. “She used to call me her little chef. To win in her honor, that would be nice.” He went from busboy and dishwasher to executive chef trained at Johnson & Wales University’s College of Culinary Arts. But he’d always wanted to live in Colorado, and hasn’t looked back since coming to Littleton. “I love Littleton because it’s familyoriented, and because it’s not downtown Denver,” he said. “And I like working here because I’m able to create new features on a daily basis. We’re a scratch kitchen, and when people come here, they can tell we’re a scratch kitchen. Whereas a lot of other restaurants and chains just open up a bag and heat stuff up, we don’t do that here.” Fans can vote online for Baudier for two weeks in September, which is also National Breakfast Month. Starting Sept. 14, visit www.ThomasBreakfastBattle.com to vote for Littleton’s hometown breakfast hero, and be entered to win up to $10,000. Should Baudier win, he’ll be able to kick the $20,000 grand prize back into Merle’s, which he co-owns. But to him, cooking is about more than the money. “As long as I can keep people happy and full, I’m happy,” he said. “And I get to play with food. I’m a big guy, so you can tell I enjoy food.”

Law enforcement responds to threats
Police say majority of public remains supportive Taryn Walker twalker@coloradocommunitymedia.com Following a recent threat against Aurora and Denver police from an anonymous caller, law enforcement agencies in the south metro area were asked how they handle such situations. The caller threatened to shoot police who were alone. A few hours after the Sept. 6 threat, someone shot in the direction of Aurora police officers after they were called to a scene. According to Crystal McCoy, public information officer with Aurora police, investigation so far shows nothing connects the two incidents. However, McCoy said the incidents are still being investigated.
Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office The Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office does not have different “alert” operating conditions, so deputies are not placed on “high alert,” said bureau chief Glenn Thompson, who’s responsible for the Public Safety Bureau, handles patrol, investigations and the sheriff’s impact team. However, deputies are encouraged to always be aware of their surroundings and all aspects of the situations and people they interact with on a daily basis. “Situations such as the recent call to Aurora PD serve as reminders to all of us that we should always remain alert for our own safety and that of the members of our community,” Thompson said. The sheriff’s office evaluates each situation, and depending on circumstances, additional direction and recommendations are provided to staff. Cultivating good relationships with
communities is crucial, Thompson added. “We understand that this one call does not reflect the attitudes of the majority of the people in the community. We continue to partner with members of the community on a daily basis to provide quality public safety services.” Littleton Police Department Commander Trent Cooper with the Littleton Police Department said his staff hasn’t done anything in particular or gone into “high alert,” but that he’s confident LPD officers are aware of current threat trends. “We investigate them to the best of our ability,” Cooper said. “But as is commonly known, in today’s world of electronics, it is not hard to hide your identity or location. We take all threats seriously and disseminate the information to our officers so they are aware.”
Cooper said he and his staff pride themselves on having state-of-the-art training on safety tactics and skills. Nationally, killings of police officers have declined to a level last seen in the 1960s, and Cooper thinks there will be even fewer this year. “Statistically speaking, it has never been safer to be a cop,” said Cooper, who has been a police officer for 27 years. “It just doesn’t seem like it based on the recent press.” As in any career, police departments also have people who shouldn’t be officers, Cooper said. But “the 99.9 percent of cops that are good, hard-working, honest people don’t like the bad cops any more than the public. We want to get rid of them, too ... The idea that someone, or a group of people, will target all police officers, based on the actions of a few bad apples, is appalling and frightening.”
Church brightens first day of school Mission Hills volunteers make difference at Field Elementary Staff report Field Elementary School recently got a big boost from “Love in Action.” More than 200 volunteers with that group from Littleton’s Mission Hills Church swarmed the school property on Aug. 23, logging more than 1,300 hours to get it in sparkling shape in time for the students to return for the new school year the next day. “The Field community, staff and students are very grateful for their generous donation of time and talent to Field Elementary School,” said principal Lyn Bajaj. “Nearly every square inch of Field’s property was touched through this generous donation of time, talent and kindness from the Mission Hills Church volunteers.” Bajaj said the team had an incredible impact on the look and feel of the school’s exterior, completing many significant projects. Nearly 20 trees that were dead or dying were removed
by a professional tree-trimming company with help from several adult and high-school volunteers. One group of volunteers, who set out to simply replace a few treads and spindles on the deck and ramp that connect Field’s portable classrooms, wound up completely rebuilding it. Working from 7:30 a.m. to 10 p.m., they had it ready for students the following day. More than a hundred other volunteers, ranging in age from preschool children to grandparents, pulled weeds, trimmed overgrown trees and bushes, planted flowers, raked leaves and cleared the entire fence line of overgrowth and saplings. Others built a wooden planter box and filled it with flowers to freshen up the back entrance where kids enter the building each day. Another group of volunteers overhauled the school garden, removing weeds, laying weed paper, mulching and prepping planters so that students will be able to participate in fall planting. “Schools are the heartbeat of a community,” reads the team’s website. “We have a wonderful opportunity to celebrate these important places and the people who occupy them by cleaning their grounds, landscaping, weeding, sweeping and doing general maintenance.”

OBITUARIES LOSER
Ronald Stuart Loser
Oct. 17, 1933 – Sept. 5, 2015
Ronald (“Ron”) Stuart Loser, 81, died peacefully at his home in Littleton on Sept. 5, 2015. Ron was a Denver native born on Oct. 17, 1933 to Earl and Edith Loser. He is survived by his beloved wife of 59 years, Jeri; son, Mike Losier (Chris) Denver; daughter, Katy Clair (Troy), Lititz, Pennsylvania; daughter, Gail Lasater (J. Scott), Highlands Ranch; nine grandchildren; and seven great-grandchildren. Ron graduated from South High School in 1951 and the University of Colorado, Boulder, where he obtained a bachelor’s degree in 1955 and a law degree in 1958. During his time at CU he was a member of the Phi Gamma Delta fraternity. He was a member of the CU ski team and had a passion for ski jumping. He lettered all four years, and 50 years later the Alumni “C” Club inducted Ron into the 2005 Living Legends. During school, Ron met and married the love of his life, Jeri Sando. After graduating law school, Ron joined the Denver law firm of Fuller and Evans and opened its Littleton office. The family moved to Littleton where they have lived ever since. The Writer Corporation, one of the more prominent builders and developers at the time, was one of
Community service was important to Ron, and at one time the Red Cross appointed him disaster chairman during the flood of 1965. Later, he supported fundraisers for the Littleton Library and even sang for the “Fiasco” fundraiser. Ron’s first clients. Ron also held the position as the official coordinator of the Home Rule City Charter Convention. In 1959, he was appointed Assistant City Attorney for the City of Littleton. In 1965, Ron was appointed Arapahoe County Attorney and held that position until 1979. During those years, he was involved in challenging issues such as the zoning and development of the Arapahoe County Airport (now Centennial Airport), as well as the controversial project known as I-470, today known as C-470. After resigning from the county attorney position in 1979, Ron founded a successful private practice in Littleton, which he later moved to downtown Denver. The Littleton Independent once described Ron as a “skillful attorney and loyal and dedicated public servant.” Ron continued with private practice and ended his career with Robinson, Waters & O’Dorisio. A perpetual hard worker, Ron was in the office the week before his death.
Ron had an active life, a love for golf, skiing, traveling and music and he greatly enjoyed his many, many friends and loving family. He served as a director at Cherry Hills Country Club from 1984-86 and as president from 199798. He belonged to and was actively involved in the University Club, the Arlberg Club and the Denver Gyro Club. Over the course of his professional career, he was a valued member of many boards.

The crowd gathers as it’s almost time to use the blowtorch. Chef Eric Robbins walks those who have gathered at his booth for the Taste of Lone Tree through how to make crème brulee. Robbins stirs, mixes, pours and bakes until the mini ramekins have been cooked and cooled. “If you guys want to torch your own crème brulee, we’ve got some people over here who can help,” Robbins says, pointing to a row of mini torches. The crowd is in good hands. Teaching lay people how to cook is the name of the game for the former fine dining chef. Eric and his wife Katie will be opening Uncorked Kitchen at the beginning of October, in a business that will bring people together to learn and cook in a fun environment. “We love to call it a cooking party because it’s really more about the entertainment and less about a school type of setting,” Katie said. “You come in, take away some fun skills and fun knowledge and let’s have some fun with food — maybe some great ingredients you haven’t tried before — and let’s have fun with friends.” Uncorked Kitchen will be located at 8171 S. Chester St., Centennial, near Ethan Allen. “We’re going to do all different kinds of menus,” Katie said. “We’ll have adult events, date nights, kids’ classes, birthdays, camps
and corporate team-building events.” The couple calls the business Denver’s first interactive dining experience. Eric attended the University of Colorado at Boulder and received his degree in economics with a minor in business. He worked in trade logistics for a clothing manufacture in Denver before moving to Boston to pursue his love of cooking and attend culinary school. Since then, he has worked in restaurants, opened one of his own, worked in catering and handled purchasing for Boston’s Museum of Science. Following their time in Boston, Eric and Katie came home to Colorado to open Uncorked Kitchen. The maximum capacity for each Uncorked Kitchen event is 20 and a schedule of classes and menus can be found online at uncorkedkitchen.com. Wine, beer and cocktails will be available for purchase from the Wine Bar. For some events, wine or beer may be included in your event payment. On Oct. 10, students can learn how to make their own doughnuts and fritters, and on Oct.23 Uncorked Kitchen will be hosting a guy’s night out grilling event. The cost of each class is $99. On Oct. 24 there will be a date night event called Venice for Lovers. The cost is $210 per couple. Five-week teen and kids’ courses are available as well. The cost of the children’s packages ranges from $265 to $285 for the course, depending on age group. “If you want to do a private function, we’ll customize the menu for you to really make it what you want for your party,” Katie said.
Arapahoe Libraries tax going on ballot Board of trustees moves forward with initiative By Taryn Walker twalker@coloradocommunitymedia.com The Arapahoe Libraries board of trustees passed a resolution to add an initiative to the fall ballot that would increase taxes by $6 million annually. Trustees discussed estimated revenues for 2016 at the Aug. 18 board meeting. Michelle Cingrani said the increase would mean $2.39 per month for the owner of a $300,000 home and would be the result of increasing the mill levy from 4.2 to 5.4 mills. An Arapahoe Library District web page offers facts about the ballot initiative; go to arapahoelibraries.org/vote-info. Serving 250,000-plus patrons with eight community libraries, a jail library and the Library on Wheels, the library district hopes to increase resources, as it’s been 12 years since the last tax increase, executive director Nicolle Davies said. Since then, the entity has gone to the voters three times for a mill levy increase without succeeding. “We manage the budget well,” Davies said. “Trustees have had great oversight to make money last and we’ve found ourselves in a time that the cost of doing business has increased.” Lately, resources — specifically eReaders and online books, magazines and audio streaming — have made a big impact on business, she said. The vendors who sell those resources to public libraries don’t do it for cheap. All e-resources sell at a much higher rate, Davies said. “The greatest thing about our libraries is that everyone is welcome,” she said. “We want to better everything so we can make access easier to everyone.” If the initiative passes, trustees plan to continue to offer outstanding services and expand technology, collection and programming, she said. A Centennial resident who was doing some work and research at Koelbel Library said she’d definitely vote for the initiative. “I think personally it’s a good thing,” Maria Howard said. “I love seeing young children in here. It’s great for entertainment and educational programs. When I was young I had a blast reading stories at the library.” Retiree and tutor Gary Greeno of unincorporated Arapahoe County said he loves Arapahoe Libraries. He was at Koelbel tutoring a student from a Cherry Creek school. “They’re far and away superior to other libraries,” he said. “I’d have to give the initiative more thought. Overall, generally it would better things, but I’m not sure I’d

vote for it because I’m retired and have a general income. The tax would affect me, as my home is worth more than $300,000 and it would be more than $25 added a year.” Centennial resident Valeen Schmitt said she doesn’t normally get into politics, but she’s for the tax increase. “They’re going to raise taxes for whatever they need and we’ll just pay it,” she said. “I should hope it would benefit the libraries. It’s nice to see that people still go to them. I’m always for libraries, streets and schools.” By the end of the day Nov. 3, the library district should know the outcome from the all-mail balloting, Davies said.

Plan the what, why and how of success Thanks again for all of the great feedback regarding this column. I sincerely appreciate the emails and am thankful for the opportunity to exchange thoughts and ideas with you all as we discuss, debate, and even challenge some of the concepts found in my articles. One common message that has come through over the years is that many of you enjoy the positive thought, message or idea that I share; however, it would be really great if I could go beyond the concept or philosophy and get into the “How” of actually doing something. The “How” is incredibly important, Michael Norton for sure. I mean, the very best strategies and WINNING plans still need to be WORDS executed, right? But we cannot jump right to the “How” without first knowing the “What” and “Why” behind our strategy or plan. Moving right to “How” is like taking a fire, ready, aim approach instead of a ready, aim, fire approach. So let me share a 10-step tactical step-bystep plan that can be used to help you succeed in almost any endeavor you are pursuing. 1. Identify “What” it is you would like to do or you are trying to accomplish. 2. Define “What” success will look when you meet your goal. 3. Eliminate “What” obstacles may stand in your way. 4. Plan for “What” happens next after achieving your goal. 5. Understand “Why” you are pursuing this goal. 6. List all the reasons “Why” this is something worthy of your effort. 7. Challenge all of the reasons on your “Why” list. 8. If your “Why” list doesn’t support your “What” goal, rethink the “What.” 9. Create your action items and to-do list on `How” you will approach this goal or project. 10. Set proper expectations for “How” you will measure your success and “How” often you will measure your success. Zig Ziglar used to say: “People who never take step one, can never possibly expect to take step two.” And it is so true, isn’t it? I mean if we do not know “What” it is that we want, and “Why” we really want it, how can we possibly come up with the “How” part in a meaningful enough way that will provide us with the level of belief and commitment that we need in order to see our goal all the way to the end? Here are a couple more “How” items for you to consider. First, once you have gone through the 10-step tactical plan outlined above, make sure you share it with others who can provide good feedback and insights as well as challenge your thinking. Share it with positive people and avoid anyone who will try and rain only negativity on your plans. Second, whether it is a goal, dream or project of any kind, build yourself a visual reminder where you can be inspired every day and where you can track milestones of success. Some people call this a vision board, which can be placed anywhere that it will be seen on a regular basis. Some folks prefer keeping smaller vision boards in a notebook or maybe even keep photos and imagery on their phone, laptop or tablet. The point is, keep your list of “What,” “Why” and “How” in a very accessible and visible place for that daily dose of inspiration as you get after your next goal and dream. How about you, do you take the time for step one before launching into step two? Or do you follow a tactical plan that allows you to realize your dreams? Either way I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@gmail.com and when we respect the “What” and “Why” of our dreams, taking action on the “How” really will make this a better than good week. Michael Norton is a resident of Highlands Ranch, the former president of the Zig Ziglar Corporation and the CEO/founder of www. candogo.com.

Year off to great start in Englewood Schools The 2015-2016 school year is an exciting one for Englewood Schools! This marks the first fall and full year that our secondary students will be occupying brandnew or newly remodeled buildings. Students from Englewood High School, Englewood Leadership Academy and Englewood Middle School are in the newly completed Englewood Campus, a state-of-the-art secondary facility at the site of the old Englewood High School building. Students at Colorado’s Finest High School of Choice (CFHSC) are in their newly remodeled home at the former site of Englewood Middle School. The Englewood Campus and the remodeled CFHSC building were designed to house specialty programs that will help our students succeed in tomorrow’s job market. These programs include culinary arts and hospitality, STEM (science, technology, engineering and math), performing and visual arts, audio production and cosmetology. These programs were carefully selected based on student interests as well as job market predictions, and our students love the opportunities and learning that these programs provide. As in other years, many of our secondary students will be earning college credit while in high school. Sixty-six percent of the 2015 graduating class earned college credit while enrolled in high school through our concurrent enrollment program. Last school year, the district saved families more than $257,000 in tuition expenses while students earned both high school and college credit at the same time. We look forward to increasing that number this year! Our middle schools are also having an exciting start to the school year. Thanks to a 21st Century grant, Englewood Middle School has become a STEM school. Students have increased exposure to science, technology, engineering and math as well as access to design-thinking instruction. Design thinking allows students to discover and problemsolve to aid learning. Englewood Leadership Academy, a John Irwin School of Excellence, is continuing its tradition of providing a smaller middle school environment that is unique and challenging. Both schools are enjoying their new spaces at the Englewood Campus. Our elementary schools are excited about the rigor and the critical thinking that comes with new state standards. All elementary students are using a new math series that inspires
student engagement and higher-level thinking strategies. Additionally, all of our elementary schools have a focus on serving the whole child emotionally, developmentally and academically. Charles Hay World School is gearing up to have another successWendy Rubin ful year as our district’s GUEST International Baccalaureate school. All COLUMN students at Charles Hay take Spanish courses as part of their day and participate in IB-related activities and projects. Bishop Elementary seeks to increase students’ learning opportunities by offering special enrichment programming — above and beyond typical academics — throughout the school day and after school. Some of these opportunities include technology classes and additional time in arts and sciences. Clayton Elementary maximizes students’ learning in literacy by offering instruction that meets the needs of every individual student. By using data collected about each student’s strengths and areas for growth, instruction is delivered in a way that helps students make progress specific to their individual needs. Cherrelyn Elementary is now a STEM school. Like Englewood Middle School, students will use design thinking in their classrooms. Cherrelyn students also now have an additional STEM specials class and go on special field trips throughout the year that aid in their studies. Our Early Childhood Education program continues to offer an excellent preschool to children between 3 and 5 years of age. Just as in years past, families can choose between halfday and full-day options. This school year is especially exciting for me, as it is my first year as superintendent of Englewood Schools. I am honored to be part of the Englewood community and am looking forward to a wonderful year! Wendy Rubin, Ed.D., is the superintendent of Englewood Schools. The school board chose her for the post in May. She can be reached at wendy_rubin@engschools.net.
we got married, decided to move to Littleton for the community and the schools. We fell on hard times but pledged to make sure that whatever we had to do, we would stay in Littleton, at least until our kids got through high school. Our “baby” just graduated from Heritage High School in May. For most of that time we have had to rent. It’s been hard and we’ve made a lot of sacrifices to be able to live here and have been lucky

Various ‘culprits’ affect market volatility Be careful what you wish for. Many investors were worried we had not seen a significant market correction since 2011 … until the last week of summer. Market volatility as measured by the VIX index ramped up to record highs, indicating significant pricing swings in the equities markets. While U.S. markets were ripe for a correction, there did not appear to be a catalyst until China devalued its currency. Then markets declined around the globe like wildfire. Later, the Chinese government intervened to stem the bleeding; however the worldwide impact remains, with emerging markets hit the hardest. Other culprits added fuel to the decline, creating a roller coaster ride on Wall Street: • Oil: Oil had fallen to six-year lows, then rallied almost 20 percent, only to drop again on decreased demand. This affects all major economies and many oil companies represented in the stock market. • Emerging markets: Emerging market stocks, which have fallen more than 20 percent from highs earlier in the year, seem to be mimicking China. However, there are other countries with real economic issues, such as Brazil, slipping into recession, with weakening commodities demand and de-
clining currencies in many emerging countries. • Currency: The dollar remains strong against many foreign currencies. Investors are finding out that foreign holdings, when converted Patricia Kummer back to dollars, are showing losses FINANCIAL than the STRATEGIES greater actual change in price when calculated in local currency. China devalued its currency, causing concerns about a worldwide currency slump. However, the Chinese decision to float the yuan could end up being a peace offering in the long run, according to several economists. • The Fed: Speculation over Federal Reserve policy also plays a role in volatility fueled by uncertainty. After a prolonged period of near zero interest rate policy, the Fed is expected to raise interest rates at any time. This would be a signal that the Fed

believes the U.S. economy is strong enough to sustain increased rates. • Earnings: Wall Street analysts have been predicting corporate earnings will decline for the last several quarters. Revenues improved during quantitative easing on the heels of a recession where many companies cut staff, reduced inventories and pushed top-line profits. Now the challenge is to see true bottom-line growth in a rising interest rate environment. Market declines can be an emotional roller coaster, leading investors to think they should be doing something to stave off the losses. However, it is never wise to make long-term decisions with short-term emotions. Still, human behavior is to avoid risk, which causes many to sell at the absolute worst time and try and buy back after most of the gains have been realized. Studies have shown that the downsides for long-term investors even in the worst market corrections in U.S. history have been temporary, and on average investors were made whole again in less than four months. These results suggest that market corrections do not result in loss of principal unless the investor sold at the dip. Having a more diversified portfolio contain-

Therefore it may be best to look forward and take advantage of opportunities in pullbacks that are healthy for future growth. The U.S. recently posted good news with a higher-than-expected Gross Domestic Product (GDP) number, dropping unemployment, a rise in consumer sentiment and construction spending, and an uptick in the housing market. These are very positive indicators for equity investors aligned with the timing of their goals.

Roxborough Park leader remembered Healey Bench at Arrowhead course pays homage to Gallagher
By Shanna Fortier sfortier@coloradocommunitymedia.com One of Pat Gallagher’s favorite spots was the 13th hole at the Arrowhead Golf Club in Roxborough Park. After his death in the fall of 2014, the Men’s Group at Arrowhead thought that his memory deserved to be preserved through a bench at the tee box of his favorite hole. A dedication and unveiling of that bench was held Sept. 8. “It’s something very special, something I didn’t expect,” said Marcia Gallagher, as tears broke through. “Pat didn’t expect it either, but it’s very special. This whole group has been special since we’ve lived here.” The Gallaghers moved to Roxborough Park in 1993 and almost immediately got involved in the community. Pat Gallagher was a member of the board of directors of the community during the 1990s. While on the board, he was responsible for the assessment equalization that greatly accelerated the build-out of the Roxborough Park community. He was a charter member of the Governing Documents Committee and

Photo by Shanna Fortier made a contribution in the revision of the covenants and by-laws, which went into effect for the community in 2004. “Dad really believed in the community and seeing it through to the future — letting it grow,” said Janice O’Kane, while consoling her mother. Most recently, Pat was the co-chair of the Marketing and Communication Committee and the chairman of the Election Committee. He was also appointed the
liaison between Sterling Ranch and the Roxborough Park community. “The folks at Sterling Ranch thought so much of Pat’s work that in their Phase One build-out, the first community park they construct will be dedicated to Pat,” said Dennis Kennedy, another Roxborough Park activist. While in the initial phases, Sterling Ranch owners Harold and Diane Smethills reached out to Gallagher. He organized and led a group of residents to define what they wanted to see in the Chatfield Basin. “He did so much for Roxborough as a whole, that this is just a small token of our appreciation for Pat,” Mike Pitcock said about the bench. Pitcock was one of the Men’s Club members who were instrumental in getting the bench placed. “Pat was such a good friend that we wanted to do something in memory of him and have him memorialized out here at the golf course,” he said. “We all knew that this was his favorite hole.” Pitcock said it wasn’t hard to get everyone on board with the bench. “Everyone was 100 percent in favor of it,” he said. “We hope that it does Pat justice. I think that it did. I think that he’s up there saying ‘Thank you.’”

identified individual victim, with a face and a name, has no peer.” At least 188,000 migrants had been rescued and more than 2,000 migrants had already died this year, according to the International Organization for Migration, when a little boy washed up on a Turkish beach Sept. 2 and became the face and name of this overwhelming humanitarian crisis. A belated call for unity and compassion rippled across the world. The European Union president recently urged member nations to put aside differences and welcome these refugees in a way that respects humanity and human dignity, The New York Times reported. The U.S. has increased the number of Syrian refugees it will accept, but also is hearing calls from aid agencies to open its arms wider. There are no easy answers. But Mother Teresa, whose compassion knew no limits, said: “If I look at the mass, I will never act. If I look at one, I will.” We have looked at Aylan. What will we do?

Congregation members use hymnals and large-print handouts as they sing a hymn during the morning worship service at Littleton Presbyterian Church. While many churches now use praise bands and contemporary hymns with words displayed on a screen at the front of the church, Littleton Presbyterian continues to have a piano, organ and choir join the congregation in singing traditional hymns from the hymnals.

usic has been a part of Christian church worship since the foundations of the church in the first century, and worship music has constantly undergone change. There is no recorded timeline of changes in worship music from the first century church, but history tells us that as the Catholic Church grew, the congregation didn’t do the singing, as the music was provided by choirs of priests and nuns. A transition took place in the 1500s when Martin Luther initiated the Protestant Reformation, with worship services that included congregational singing of Psalms and songs.
Changes continued down through the years, with significant ones in the past few years. Larry Lindquist, chairman of Denver Seminary’s leadership master’s degree department, said many changes in music happened slowly, but the most recent started to come about quickly in the 1990s. “Most churches in the 1900s used a piano or organ and sang the traditional hymns of the church from songbooks called hymnals. Some songs had been written 100 or more years before, but new worship music was always being written and added to the services,” Lindquist said. “I guess about the mid-’90s, many churches began to shift from traditional hymns and accompaniment using hymnals to praise bands using guitar and drums leading the congregation, singing more contemporary hymns with the words displayed on a screen.” Worship music varies While most churches conduct more contemporary worship services, churches like Littleton First Presbyterian Church retain traditional accompaniment and music. “We have a pianist and an organist accompanying the choir and we sing from the hymnal,” Pastor Cody Sandahl said. “But the number one request from our youth department is to adopt a more contemporary worship style. We plan to let them conduct a contemporary worship service in November, but it is highly unlikely we will change our traditional worship program on Sunday mornings.” The worship music is different at Wellspring Church in Englewood. Jeff Gayle, worship director, said the worship music includes a full praise band providing accompaniment for the vocalists and the congregation. “For our services, we select music for our full praise band and our vocalists that reflects our love of the traditional music of the church while embracing the more contemporary hymns and musical styles,” he said. “We have software that lets us review the top 50 worship songs on the charts, and we select those that are right for us. We also include traditional hymns, although we may use different musical arrangements.” Retooling songs He said contemporary worship music artists also show their love for the traditional music of the church by doing what he called “retooling” the songs. “Retooling a traditional hymn may be adding a mod-

The worship leader said the music style and selection tend to be comtemporary, but all the songs selected praise and worship the Lord. Photo courtesy of Wellspring Church ern chorus as well as working out a different musical arrangement,” Gayle said. “While it might sound different, the focus is to make changes to the music without changing the deep feeling and message in the song.” David Langley, a Centennial resident, sang in an Ohio church choir for 50 years. He said he sang the traditional hymns and, before he had throat problems, was a member of a quartet that sang many contemporary songs. “I believe all those who write Christian music are inspired to put down the words and music to praise the Lord,” he said. “I feel they want to present a message in music that praises and worships God, whether the song was written 100 years ago or last week.” Music almost like a sermon Many churches, like Denver First Church of the Nazarene in Cherry Hills Village, have a contemporary service Sunday mornings plus a more traditional evening service. The morning contemporary services display the words of the songs on screens at the front of the church. “We usually select five or six songs from the hymnal,” said Bud Curry, who leads the evening traditional service at the Nazarene church. “Our singing is accompanied by a keyboard and our song leader directs the singing.”
St. Andrew United Methodist Church in Highlands Ranch has three Sunday services. At 8 a.m. there is a chapel service and at 9 and 10 a.m. there are sanctuary services, frequently involving an orchestra and choir. But a contemporary service at 10:30 a.m. each Sunday called Wildflower also has a praise band, worship choruses and contemporary hymns. Former area resident Paul Ferrin is doing what he can to introduce younger people to the traditional music of the church. “My wife, Marjorie, and I have been in music ministry for more than 50 years,” he said. “We now do programs called Old-Fashioned Hymn Sings. A church invites us, makes all the preparations and we come in and lead the singing of the hymns of faith.” Ferrin, who now lives in Colorado Springs, said many audience members are older people, but he also has been seeing more and more young families come to the hymn sings, many of them bringing their children with them. “The modern hymns praise the Lord,” Ferrin said, but he added, “it is tragic that so many young people don’t know anything about the traditional hymns. We enjoy contemporary music, but I don’t want to see it used at the expense of the traditional hymns, (in which) each carries a strong message that is almost a sermon.”

Tuesday’s gray, it’s Friday, I’m in love Everyone marks time his or her way: For football fans, it’s Sundays or Monday nights that are the defining days of their weeks. Movie-lovers long for Wednesdays and Fridays, when they can finally get their fix of the latest cinematic adventures. For as long as I can remember, Tuesday was my defining day. That’s the day new music hit the shelves — and also, later, on the Internet. Knowing I had new music to look forward to dulled the pain of Mondays. It also made the rest of the week go by faster because there were new albums to sample, to love and hate, to form and reform opinions on. By the time I had listened to everything, the weekend had arrived. But in July, that all changed. The International Federation of the Phonographic Industry decided new music the world over would be released on Fridays. This was a major sea change for me — requiring a complete restructure of how I organized my week. Since 1989, Tuesday had been the agreedupon release date for music in the U.S. But every country had its own day for new releases: Monday in the UK and Canada, Wednesday in Japan and Friday in Australia and Germany. In the days before the Internet, that didn’t mean much. But once we got to the point when releases could be uploaded online in a matter of minutes and shared with anyone,
well, release dates started to matter a whole lot more. This is why: If someone in England or Canada gets a new release on Monday and uploads it online, why would anyone buy it on a later date when he could just find it for free (albeit Clarke Reader illegally) on torrent LINER sites? That first newNOTES music Friday week was brutal. I had come off an absolutely fantastic Tuesday of music on June 30 with new releases from Vince Staples, The Internet, Meek Mill and Miguel all dropping humdingers. And the next Tuesday, July 7, promised the same great experience with releases from Tame Impala and Future. Instead, everything got pushed back to July 17 to accommodate the change in release dates, and that meant a nearly twoweek dry spell of new music. Future’s new album — when I finally listened to it — opened with a track called “Thought It Was a Drought.” Man, I thought, he wasn’t kidding. The music industry made a big deal about the release-date change over the summer.
CLARKE’S ALBUM OF THE WEEK Selection: Craig Finn’s “Faith in the Future,” released on Partisan Records. Review: The Hold Steady’s lead singer steps out for the second time with another devastating collection of songs about America’s downand-out. Finn brings his characters to life with muscular poetry and infinite empathy. Favorite song: “Christine” Favorite lyric: “I was the first to get married/I was the last one to know/And I went down in the darkness/I came to at some show.” From “I Was Doing Fine (Then A Few People Died)”
But unless you’re an avid follower of goingson in the business, you probably didn’t notice. Independent record stores, such as Angelo’s CDs in Wheat Ridge, have been left to grapple with changing logistics and customer confusion. As for me, I’m getting used to new music on Fridays, even if it gets a little lost in the end-of-the-week shuffle: Sound-tracking my weekend to new albums has been a bright side. There is something to be said for pairing weekend adventures with the joy of discovering new albums and artists.
SONGS OF SUMMER In my Sept. 3 column, I wrote about some of my favorite summer songs and asked readers to send in their choices. Here they are: “The Eye” by Brandi Carlile -Annie Burne, Littleton “Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah” by James Baskett -Judy Denison, Golden “Summer Nights” by Olivia Newton-John and John Travolta -Nola Drake, Vinton, Iowa “Crushin It” by Brad Paisley -Amber Klein, Denver “Hot Fun in the Summertime” by Sly and the Family Stone -Delores Lynch, Iowa
That feeling — of being on the cusp of delightful revelation — is one reason I love music so much. And it’s comforting to know that feeling isn’t going anywhere. Clarke Reader’s column on how music connects to our lives appears every other week. A community editor with Colorado Community Media, he is very glad tomorrow is Friday. Check out his music blog at calmacil20. blogspot.com. And tell him what new releases you’re listening to at creader@coloradocommunitymedia.com.
Beloved eatery closes doors after 34 years Le Central, the “Affordable French” restaurant in the mural-bedecked building on the corner of Eighth and Lincoln, closed after 34 years in business on Sept. 13. Owner Robert Tournier, who sent out an email announcement to his patrons about the imminent closing, is throwing in the saute pan after more than 40 years in the restaurant business. Fans have been mourning the restaurant’s departure on Facebook by posting memorable moments. Check them out at www.facebook.com/LeCentral?fref=ts, and post your own. Here’s the email he sent: “Bonjour, It has been a great opportunity and pleasure to serve Denver for 34 years. I want to thank you for your patronage. To raise a loving family and run a successful restaurant in Colorado was a rare privilege. I realize how lucky I am. I took the chance to open a French restaurant, with no business plan, serving affordable food and wines on Salvation Army chairs, with friendly non-professional service, no dress code, reservation or credit card, and you loved it. I am very grateful; I could not have done it without an incredible staff and your willingness to try something different. I am glad to be part of your (mostly) good memories, and to have been the stage of so many dates and celebrations Being 65 and a grandfather with 40+ years in the restaurant business (1 restaurateur year = 3 human years) it is time to stop, the 13 of September should be the last day but keep in touch, we may decide to close earlier.

Denver Concert Band opens season Sept. 19
By Sonya Ellingboe sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia.com The Denver Concert Band website tells of a group of friends sitting around talking in 1961 — recalling the fun of making music with a band. They found a leader, and a small number began practicing in home basements. By 1968, they had 32 members and performed the first concert at Grant Junior High School in Denver. Central Presbyterian in Denver became the band’s home for the next period as the membership grew — including a number of music educators. For 16 years, Jacinda Bouton, a Lone
Tree resident, has been band director and the group of approximately 90 volunteer musicians has made the Lone Tree Arts Center its home base. The band has traveled nationally and internationally. It will open the 2015-2016 season at LTAC with “Spectrum Spectacular! The Colors of Music” at 7:30 p.m. Sept. 19. Colorful projections on the stage backdrop will coordinate with the colorthemed musical selections, which will include: “Red Rocks Fanfare” by John Bogenschultz; “October” by Eric Whitacre; “Colours” by Roger Cichy; “Blue Lake Overture” by John Barnes Chance; and “Yellow” by Marvis Rorie Jr.

Author spins out mysteries, recipes
.
Davidson makes series of appearances around area
By Sonya Ellingboe sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia.com
Diane Mott Davidson said she started writing about caterer Goldy Schultz in the early 1980s. She knew a few things about Goldy to start: She loved to cook, she had a troubled 11-year-old son and she was a survivor of domestic violence. “She did more than survive. She othrived. She took the lemon that life had ngiven her and made not just lemonade but Lemon Chicken, Lemon Bars, Lemon Cookies and Lemon Meringue Pie … “By 1987, I had finished writing what became ‘Catering to Nobody.’ My critique group, to which I often brought cookies, told me I should put some recipes in the book. So I did …” In 1988, Davidson found an agent, and the first book was published in 1990. She was living in Evergreen and her Aspen Meadows scenarios sound familiar. Seventeen mysteries later — with titles like “Dying for Chocolate,” “Killer Pancakes,” “Dark Torte” and the most recent one, “The Whole Enchilada” — each with related recipes — a cookbook/memoir eseemed to be in order. y Diane Mott Davidson will be promoting her newest book in Colorado: on Sept. 22 at Tattered Cover/Colfax; on Sept. 23 at the Highlands Ranch Library; on Sept. 24 at Hearthfire Books in Evergreen; and on Oct. 4 at Mountain Books in Conifer. “Goldy’s Kitchen Cookbook” contains
Mystery writer Diane Mott Davidson will appear at Tattered Cover Colfax on Sept. 22 and at the Highlands Ranch Library on Sept. 23 to talk about her new “Goldy’s Kitchen: Cooking, Writing, Family Life.” Courtesy photos over 160 recipes from her novels. They are not beginner recipes, but they are interesting, varied and sophisticated — with very good directions, and often a little accompanying anecdote. Many of her recipes came from dishes she had tasted in restaurants and others are family favorites. (She would have her family sample until it was right sometimes.) She once received a fan letter from her idol, Julia Child, she writes, after “Dying for Chocolate” was published. She writes about marrying her hus-
band, Jim, and not knowing how to cook at first; of frequent moves in early years; and of involvement in church and volunteer work as three sons joined the family. She travels to her sister’s home at sea level to try out cake recipes, which are the ones printed in the book — with high-elevation adjustments listed when needed. An epilogue chats a bit more about being a writer — “first, educate yourself, reading as widely as possible in the genre you want to publish.” Find a critique group — you may need to visit more than

Sculpture brings new beauty to Gardens ‘Red Dress’ by Shohini Ghosh is a bronze piece created in 2011

It is a bronze sculpture, “Red Dress,” by Highlands Ranch sculptor Shohini Ghosh, placed on Sept. 8 by South Suburban Park and Recreation’s sculpture on loan program.

The sculpture “Red Dress” is near the Victorian Lily Pond (which is now in exuberant bloom) at Hudson Gardens and Event Center, 6115 S. Santa Fe Drive, Littleton. Admission is free to the Gardens, which are open 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. 303-797-8565. public art committee, introduced Ghosh, who said she created this piece in 2011 and was happy to see it in a garden. (It fits so well, one would think it was designed for this location.) The district arranges with sculptors to borrow a piece for a particular placement in the district’s property, for a year, with the understanding that it is for sale. There are also sculptures in front of the Goodson Center, for example. Rich Meredith, Hudson Gardens’ executive director, announced that the Gardens would indeed buy the piece, ensuring that it could dance in place long after the oneyear loan period is up. Shohini Ghosh, who is a longtime Highlands Ranch resident with her husband and family, studied art in India
and lectured at the University of Mumbai after she earned her master’s degree in art. She says in her website: “I create sculptures in bronze that can best be described as figurative, stylistic representations of simple moments in life, a zeitgeist of my surroundings. I use the human body to express and create physical images as a metaphor for the language of the soul (life-force), the illustration of our uniqueness as a human race, our quest to build families, communities and societies that define our existence … an individual quest to record the most precious moments in the spectrum of human emotion and interaction.” (Many women probably can recall the absolute joy of a new dress that made one want to dance and swirl.) In 2011 and 2012, she created and installed seven larger-than-life public art sculptures in Changchun, China, as part of a summer city beautification program with international sculptors. Her large works are seen across the U.S. and in Canada. An advocate for the use of public art as a city development tool, she has delivered a paper on that subject at various symposia. She will be teaching basics of sculpture in Highlands Ranch again, she said, where she is also a full-time real estate broker.

Can you talk and act like a pirate? Find out at Northglenn’s first pirate festival By Corrie Sahling csahling@coloradocommunitymedia.com In celebration of national Talk Like a Pirate Day, the city of Northglenn is throwing a pirate festival. The twoday festival on Sept. 17 and 18 is brand new this year and is expected to be busting at the seams with costumes, pirate talk and activities for the whole family. Here is a breakdown of the weekend’s events: Pirate Ball Friday evening’s festivities on Sept. 17 are for adult pirates only. Organizers have warned children tagging along will be thrown overboard. Come dressed as your most formal pirate self and be prepared for a costume contest. The night will feature food, drinks, circus performers and a live band. And, of course, a pirate ball wouldn’t be complete without a treasure hunt. The ball will be held from 5:30-8:30 p.m. at Northglenn’s E.B. Rains Junior Memorial Park, 11701 Community Center Drive. Pirate Festival The merriments on Saturday, Sept. 18, are for the whole gang. There will be many kid-friendly activities, including treasure hunts, archery ranges and a costume contest just for little ones. A highlight of the day will be the Cardboard Regatta — teams of pirates are being put to the test to make a boat completely out of cardboard, tape and paint to race across the water at E.B. Rains while avoiding obstacles like cannonballs and skeletons. The festival runs from
Northglenn Pirate Festival is this weekend. Attend the Pirate Ball for an adultsonly night or bring the whole family to Saturday’s festivities. No matter what event you attend, be sure to dress like a pirate, matey. Courtesy photo
10 a.m.-7 p.m., also at E.B. Rains Park. Be the best-dressed pirate For men: Typical dress includes a poet shirt, long pants on the baggy side with no pockets or zipper, a waistcoat and knee-high boots. For women: Normal garments include a blouse with puffy sleeves, a bodice or a corset, harem pants or
bloomers with leggings underneath and knee-high boots that are not high heels. Other tips: Pirates were known for mix-and-match textures and colors — the best colors are earth tones. For more dos, don’ts and videos to help bring out the pirate inside, visit thepiratefest.com/become-a-pirate.

Thomas the Tank Engine rolls into metro area
By Christy Steadman csteadman@coloradocommunitymedia.com
Donald Tallman of the Colorado Railroad Museum believes there’s something about trains that’s hard-wired into children. a Which makes it even more exciting when Thomas the Tank Engine chugs into town. “Thomas is a rock star for the preschoolers,” said Tallman, the museum’s executive director. Thomas will be at Golden’s Colorado Railroad Museum for Day Out with Thomsas: The Celebration Tour 2015 for the next -two weekends, Sept. 19 and 20 and Sept. 26 and 27. “The Thomas brand is one that people -have a great deal of affection for,” Tallman said. “Thomas is like us, in the sense that he has his good qualities, but he also has his faults.” l Thomas the Tank Engine is the star of the popular “Thomas & Friends” series, now in its 70th year. The main attraction is a train ride with Thomas the Tank Engine on a nearly halfmile track, which lasts about 25 minutes. Children will also be able to meet the char-
acter Sir Topham Hatt. People can enjoy the Imagination Station, too, Tallman said. In the station, children can interactively play with Thomas-themed toys or do arts and crafts. In addition, there will be a petting zoo, a magician, storytellers, a viewing tent showing Thomas videos, sing-a-longs, a fire truck for children to tour, and food and merchandise vendors. The event is fun for everyone, said Al Blount, vice president of the Colorado Railroad Museum’s board. Blount will be serving as Thomas’ conductor for the 13th year. His favorite part, he said, is watching the excitement on kids’ faces. The tour is in its 20th year, and this is the 14th year the Colorado Railroad Museum will host Thomas. “We’ve seen generations of children come through the years,” Tallman said. Each year, he overhears someone reminiscing with their children about the experience of playing with Thomas when he or she was a child. “It’s a great family bonding opportunity,” Tallman said. “Thomas builds lifetime, family memories.”

The art of laughter College hosts yearlong series about comedy
By Clarke Reader creader@coloradocommunitymedia.com Making people laugh is something that can’t be taught. It’s takes a mix of human understanding and the right personality to find the humor in everyday life. In other words, comedy is an art. Rocky Mountain College of Art + Design is celebrating this fact with a focus on humor in its Visiting Artist, Scholar and Designer program (VASD). The yearlong program will feature lectures and speakers from the local comedy world. This series will focus on the application of comedy, parody, irony, play and wit as instruments of communication and experimentation in art, design and culture. “This series is a public one — it’s not just for students,” said Gretchen Shaffer, curator of the series. “We invite leading industry thinkers in creative fields to in-
teract with students, and there are small group discussions and workshops to complement what’s happening in class.” The series kicked off Sept. 2 with a stand-up comedy night on campus hosted by comedian Byron Graham. “We had a great lineup of comedians that were put together with a lot of attention to detail,” Graham said. “Denver has a lot of examples of people building up their own careers and opportunities in the comedy scene.” All the free events will take place at the Mary Harris Auditorium on the RMCAD campus, and doors will open at 6:30 p.m. with events beginning at 7 p.m. Detailed information will be posted online at the VASD website (www.vasd.rmcad.edu) about one month before each event occurs. The subjects for the VASD series are intentionally broad, Shaffer said, to allow for a full exploration of the topics. And since humor is such a crucial and barrierbreaking means of communication, there is much to discuss.

Top-ranked Bruins nip Pomona Bruins make enough plays to win defensive struggle By Jim Benton jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com Cherry Creek coach Dave Logan knows what it is like to play against talented football teams. “When you play top-caliber teams, there’s not going to be an abundance of huge plays,” he said. “It’s a double buckle. You buckle your chin strap twice, and that was the kind of game it was.” Logan was referring to the Bruins’ 7-6 win over Pomona Sept. 11 at North Area Athletic Complex in a marquee game between Creek, ranked No. 1 in the CHSAANow.com Class 5A poll, and the secondranked Panthers. “If I wasn’t coaching, this would have been a good game to watch,” added Logan. “It was two real good defensive teams. It was one of those old-fashioned games. It could have gone either way. We were fortunate to come out with a win.” Key moments After missing two field goals and trailing 6-0, Creek recovered a fumbled punt and mounted a 63-yard, 12-play drive. Ammon Johnson caught an 8-yard TD pass from quarterback Joe Caplis with 2:07 to play in the third quarter. “I thought it was a favorable matchup for us,” explained Logan of the third-down scoring pass called after a timeout. “Joe put the ball right on the mark and Ammon ran a beautiful route. You make plays when you have to make plays. We made enough plays on offense to find a way to win.” Charlie Scott’s extra point pushed the Bruins ahead 7-6, but Pomona had a chance on its next drive as the Panthers moved to the Creek 13-yard line. Cherry Creek’s defense stiffened as Pomona lost 11 yards and Tyler Thimsen’s 42-yard field goal fell short. Key players/statistics The teams managed a combined 149 yards total offense in the first half, but the offensive production picked up in the second half. Creek finished with 250 offense yards compared to 170 for the Panthers.
Cherry Creek’s Dimitri Stanley hauls in a pass by Joe Caplis with Pomona’s Jeremy Gonzales in pursuit during the Sept. 11 game. Photo courtesy of Jack Eberhard Caplis completed 11 of 30 passes for 112 yards and a touchdown. Ashton Riley, filling in for JC Chery, sidelined for the season after suffering an ankle injury in the Bruins win over Regis Jesuit, carried the ball 26 times for 111 yards. Pomona sophomore Max Borghi caught a screen pass from Ryan Marquez, avoided three Bruins tacklers and raced 55 yards for the Panthers touchdown. But the extra point kick was blocked. Borghi had an 80-yard run in the second quarter nullified by a holding penalty. They said it “We miss his strength and explosiveness,” said Logan about Chery. “Our backup tailback against Pomona was one of our of backup quarterbacks (Trey Wind-
ham). He gave us some tough yards. He had never played running back before.” Riley, who often twisted for additional yards after being hit, said he didn’t feel it was next-player-up when Chery was injured. “I knew I had to carry a big load,” he said. “Me and JC are neck and neck. He’s out so I have to do a lot better. It was tough running against Pomona.” “I knew we could hold them,” said Creek’s junior defensive lineman Jonathan VanDiest when asked about the Bruins’ fourth quarter stand which forced the Panthers to miss a potential go-ahead field goal. “Most of our guys are returning from last year.” Pomona coach Jay Madden blamed himself for calling a third down pass that ended up being a sack, which forced Thim-
sen to attempt a 42-yard field goal instead of a shorter attempt. “I should have run the ball, get three or four yards and then kick it,” Madden said. “Instead we try to go for the score. We should have got four or five yards and got him closer.”
Going forward Creek (3-0) will have to double buckle again when the Bruins travel to Sandy, Utah, Sept. 18 to play unbeaten Jordan (4-0), a team that is averaging 44.5 points a game. Pomona (1-1), which opened its season with a win over previously topranked Valor Christian, plays Mullen Sept. 18. “You want to make sure you are playing the best late in the season,” said Logan.
Pirates lose tough battle Englewood fights hard, but Falcon wins in volleyball By Tom Munds tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia.com Englewood played very well early, winning the first game, but Falcon made adjustments and won three games in a row to win the Sept. 10 nonleague volleyball match. The Pirates won the first game 2514. The Falcons then won three straight games, 25-11, 25-14 and 25-18. “We knew this would be a tough game,” Pirates coach Kristal Kostiew-Smith said after the game. “They stomped us last year; they only lost two girls, so we knew this would be a battle. I am proud of the way our girls played in the first game. But Falcon started finding our weaknesses and took advantage of them to win the match. They hit the ball hard plus they placed the ball to the open spaces behind our blockers.”
Maryah Hoeft (13) prepares to serve the ball for Englewood during the Sept. 10 game against Falcon. The Pirates won the first game, but Falcon made adjustments to win three games in a row and take the match 3-1. Photo by Tom Munds
Key players/statistics Englewood’s Ty Lucas led the team with nine kills and six blocked shots while teammate Reighan Kirklen had six kills and nine digs. Haley Ebert was the dig leader with 11 while Addi Silfast was the leader in serves received with 18. Setter Maryah Hoeft was the assist leader with 17, “This was a game we fought for,” Hoeft said after the game. “It was a tough game for us mentally. I think we made it hard
because of the way we gathered ourselves after every play, sometimes getting down on ourselves.” The sophomore said she has always been a setter. “How I set depends on how the other team plays,” she said. “Basically, you look for an opening for the hitters. For example, if I see the middle defense is in position, you set to the outside.” She said she likes all aspects of playing volleyball but she thinks the most fun is building a family with her volleyball sisters. They said it Coach Kostiew-Smith said she was proud her team went 7-2 in nonleague play. She said the experience gained in the nonleague games have provided what the coaching staff needed to set the lineup in order to be ready to start league play. “We know league play will be challenging,” the coach said. “We are in a good league and it seems every team is very good, so we know we have to be ready for the competition that is about to get underway.” Going forward It is the time of the season when the Pirates will be playing games against league opponents. On Sept. 17, the Pirates will travel to Fort Morgan and on Sept. 22, they will travel to Vista Peak. Englewood then is scheduled to return home on Sept. 24 to play Alameda.

Salomess Stars Salome FOR RELEASE WEEK OF SEPT. 14, 2015 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Careful, Lamb. Taking on too many tasks at one time can cause you to create more snarls each time you try to work your way through the tangled mass. Best to handle one job at a time. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Making bold moves is what Bovines do. But the best moves are made with lots of data to provide backup just in case you charge into an unexpected complication. A new relationship shows promise. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Sharing credit for a job well done is easy for you to do, but not necessarily for your partner. But fair is fair. Don’t let yourself be denied the right to have your contributions recognized. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Communication is important to help bridge a gap that can lead to problems at home and/or at the workplace. Find a way to get your points across before the breach becomes a chasm. LEO (July 23 to August 22) Relationships, whether business or personal, need to be watched carefully for signs of trouble. Any negative indications should be dealt with before they become too burdensome. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Congratulations. A more positive aspect highlights much of the Virgo’s week. You should find others more receptive to your suggestions, and also more likely to act on them. LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) All work and little play could wear the Libra’s usually positive attitude down. Take some much-needed time off. Perhaps a short jaunt with someone special is the way to go. SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) This is a good time to expand your view from the known to the unfamiliar. Confronting new situations could be challenging, but ultimately also could be extremely satisfying. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Giving advice to those who just want validation for what they’re doing can be unsettling. So back off and save your counsel for those who really appreciate it.
Super Crossword & Sudoku Answers
CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Cultivating a more positive attitude not only makes you feel better about yourself, but also has an upbeat effect on those around you, especially that certain someone. AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Keeping the lines of communication open and accessible is the key to establishing the right foundation on which to build an important and meaningful relationship. Stay with it. PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Before agreeing to act on a request, consider using your perceptive Piscean talents to see what might lie hidden beneath its surface and could possibly cause problems later on.

B. Water and Water Rights Included in aquifer Storage and Recharge Plan for Augmentation: (1) CCPWA water, as described in paragraph 13.C(3)b and Exhibit D; (2) WISE water, as described in paragraph 13.C(3)a; (3) Fully reusable, potable water available from the Joint Water Purification Plant (“JWPP”); (4) Cottonwood may recharge additional, later-acquired sources that have been added to this plan for augmentation. C. Injection Operations: Injection Operations will be carried out in accordance with the requirements of the SEO Rules. Accordingly, pursuant to Rule 5.1, all water recharged will be fully consumable and/or reusable, or decreed at the time of injection for storage by means of artificial recharge in the Denver Basin Aquifers, and any augmentation or relinquishment requirements applicable to the water to be injected shall be met prior to or at the time of injection. In accordance with Rule 5.1 and Rule 7.1, water will be injected into the wells described in paragraph 23.A above (including future wells). In addition, all water injected shall be treated and/or otherwise comply with the Underground Injection Control Program established by the Safe Drinking Water Act and administered by the Environmental Protection Agency. D. Extraction Operations: Extraction Operations will be carried out in accordance with the requirements of the SEO Rules. Accordingly, pursuant to Rule 7.1, water injected into the wells described in paragraph 23.A above will be withdrawn by those same wells (i.e., the wells described in paragraph 23.A (including future wells)). In no case shall the extraction well be located more than 5 miles from the furthest injection site. In addition, no extraction shall be accomplished by means of a well located within the cylinder of appropriation, as calculated pursuant to Rule 4.A.7 of the Statewide Nontributary Ground Water Rules, 2 CCR 402-7, for any permitted or decreed well that is owned by a party other than the Applicant and authorized to withdraw water from the same aquifer, without the written permission of the owner of such well. Further, pursuant to Rule 7.3 of the SEO Rules, the maximum amount of recharged water that may be extracted from an aquifer through any one extraction well in any one calendar year shall not exceed 5 times the maximum amount of water injected into that aquifer in any one calendar year or the total amount of water previously injected into that aquifer, less any amounts previously extracted. Pursuant to Rule 7.4 of the SEO Rules, Cottonwood may retain water it has artificially recharged into the aquifer indefinitely. E. Wells: Pursuant to Rule 5.7 of the
SEO Rules, all wells used for injection or extraction shall be equipped with suitable totalizing flow meters, which shall be operated and maintained to measure the amount of water injected and extracted. The meters shall be installed according to the manufacturer’s recommendations and shall contain sufficient recording digits to assure that “roll over” to zero does not occur prior to accumulating a total of 999 acrefeet. At any time when a meter is not operational, Cottonwood shall not inject or extract water by means of the well. Flow meters installed on existing wells authorized to withdraw naturally occurring groundwater shall be reverified to be in accurate working condition prior to initiation of injection and/or extraction operations, and shall be reverified to be in accurate working condition every four years thereafter. Totalizing flow meters installed on new wells to be used for injection and/or extraction operations shall be reverified in the field to be in accurate working condition under the supervision of an individual or entity approved by the State Engineer every four years after the date of original installation. The State Engineer shall be notified in writing of the date and name of the person performing re-verifications. All totalizing flow meters shall provide an accuracy of plus or minus 5 percent. 24. Modification of Decreed Methodology for Calculating Reusable Lawn Irrigation Return Flows: A. Cottonwood seeks to modify the methodology decreed in Case No. 81CW142 for determining the amount, timing and location of its reusable lawn irrigation return flows attributable to use of water for outdoor irrigation with Cottonwood’s present and future service area. The quantification of the amount of reusable lawn irrigation return flows from such application throughout Cottonwood’s service area may be determined based upon a fixed percentage, as determined in this case. Accretion bands will be designated in this case to reasonably represent the timing and location of such return flows. B. Cottonwood seeks to identify and add new land areas that have been added to Cottonwood’s service area since the entry of the decree in Case No. 81CW142 for which Cottonwood will claim lawn irrigation return flows. 25. Determination of reusable municipal system loss return flows: Cottonwood seeks to decree the methodology that it will use to determine the amount, timing and location of the reusable return flows from municipal system losses that accrue to Cherry Creek and its tributaries by means of the surface and ground water system. Cottonwood will use the municipal system loss credits pursuant to its plan for augmentation. 26. Determination of reusable wastewater return flows: Cottonwood seeks to decree the methodology that it will use to determine the amount, timing and location of reusable wastewater return flows. Presently, all of Cottonwood’s wastewater is treated at the Lone Tree Creek WRF. Cottonwood will measure the amount of reusable wastewater return flows available at the outfall of the Lone Tree Creek WRF to determine the amount of water available for Cottonwood’s use. 27. Determination of reusable water treatment plant return flows: Cottonwood seeks to decree the methodology that it will use to determine the amount, timing and location of reusable water treatment plant return flows. Presently, all of Cottonwood’s potable water supply is treated at the JWPP. Cottonwood will measure the amount of reusable water treatment plant return flows available at the outfall of the JWPP to determine the amount of water available for Cottonwood’s use. 28. Location of Delivery of Sources of Augmentation Supply: Cottonwood will replace out-of-priority depletions by delivering water from its augmentation supplies described in paragraphs 20 and 21, as necessary to prevent injury, at the following locations: A. Outfall of the Lone Tree Creek Water Reuse
Facility: Cottonwood will directly discharge reusable effluent from the Lone Tree Creek WRF to Lone Tree Creek in the SW1/4 of the NE1/4 of Section 24, Township 5 South, Range 67 West of the 6th P.M. Arapahoe County, Colorado, at a point approximately 2,180 feet from the North line and 2,220 feet from the East line of said section 24. B. Cottonwood / ACWWA Lone Tree Creek WRF Effluent Return Flow Pipeline: The effluent return flow pipeline will carry effluent from the outfall of the Lone Tree Creek WRF, upstream along Cherry Creek to points of discharge to Happy Canyon Creek to be located in the SW1/4 of the NW1/4 of Section 5, Township 6 South, Range 66 West of the 6th P.M., Douglas County, Colorado, or in the NE1/4 of the NE1/4 of Section 6, Township 6 South, Range 66 West of the 6th P.M., Arapahoe County, Colorado, and/or to discharge points to Cherry Creek expected to be located in the NW1/4 of the NE1/4 of Section 16, Township 6 South, Range 66 West of the 6th P.M., Douglas County, Colorado, or in the NE1/4 of the NW1/4 of Section 9, Township 6 South, Range 66 West of the 6th P.M., Douglas County, Colorado.

Outlet of Chambers Reservoir: (1) Discharge Point to Storm Sewer: The location of the discharge point from Chambers Reservoir to a proposed storm sewer pipe, which is tributary to an unnamed tributary of Happy Canyon Creek, is in the NW1/4 of the NW1/4 of Section 8, Township 6 South, Range 66 West of the 6th P.M., Douglas County, Colorado, at a point 244 feet from the North section line and 920 feet from the West section line of said Section 8. (2) Discharge Point to Unnamed Tributary: The location of the discharge point from Chambers Reservoir to an unnamed tributary of Happy Canyon Creek is in the SW1/4 of the SW1/4 of Section 5, Township 6 South, Range 66 West of the 6th P.M., Douglas County, Colorado, at a point 790 feet from the South section line and 65 feet from the West section line of said Section 5. I. Lawn Irrigation Return Flows: As described in paragraph 24. J. Direct Releases: Cottonwood may make direct releases into Cherry Creek for the replacement of out-of-priority depletions from the following structures: (1) Cottonwood Well D-1: Cottonwood may make direct augmentation releases of nontributary groundwater pumped from Well D-1, as described in paragraph 23.A(1); (2) Cottonwood’s municipal distribution system: Cottonwood may make direct releases of fully consumable water into Cherry Creek from its municipal distribution system at various locations within Cottonwood’s service area. K. System Losses: As described in paragraph 25. 29. Determination of Out-of-Priority Depletions and Replacement Obligations: A. Geographic scope of Cottonwood Augmentation Plan: Cottonwood will pump the identified wells to serve its customers, including those served pursuant to extraterritorial agreement, to the extent it can replace out-of-priority depletions under the Cottonwood Augmentation Plan. Cottonwood estimates its demand at build out to be approximately 2,512 acre-feet per year, however, this value may be revised based upon the results of a forthcoming master plan. Cottonwood hereby seeks the right to use any of its augmentation credits either within or outside of Cottonwood’s boundaries, as they presently exist or may be modified in the future. B. Augmentation Requirements: (1) Tributary Wells: Water pumped through Cottonwood’s wells identified in paragraph 19, above, will be delivered via pipeline to the JWPP, where it will be treated and delivered to its customers through Cottonwood’s potable water system. Additionally, water may be pumped into Cottonwood’s non-potable, irrigation system. Water delivered into these systems will be separately metered and accounted for under the Cottonwood Augmentation Plan. The replacement water to offset depletions associated with pumping these wells will be owed to Cherry Creek. (2) Not Nontributary Wells: a. Cottonwood Loyd Wells No. DA-1 and DEN-1: Water withdrawn from Cottonwood Loyd Wells No. DA-1 and DEN-1 from the Lower Dawson and Denver aquifers, respectively, is to be used within Cotton-
wood’s municipal system for all decreed uses adjudicated in Cases No. 86CW360 and 86CW362. Cottonwood’s replacement requirements for these wells will be determined in accordance with C.R.S. § 37-90137(9)(c). b. Crown Pointe Wells No. DA-1 and D-1: Cottonwood’s replacement requirements for its Crown Pointe Wells No. DA-1 and D-1 were determined in Case No. 88CW110. Cottonwood seeks to modify the methods by which water replacement water will be provided in order to satisfy the replacement requirements determined in Case No. 88CW110. C. Lagged Well Depletions: (1) Tributary Wells: Pumping at the wells identified in paragraph 19.A, above, will be metered and recorded on a daily basis and reported on a monthly basis. The lagged depletive effect of the pumping for those wells added to the Cottonwood Augmentation Plan as modified herein will be determined as part of this case. (2) Not Nontributary Wells: As required by statute, Cottonwood will replace depletions that accrue while well pumping is occurring and to offset post-pumping depletive effects. 30. Integrated accounting for related decrees: Cottonwood hereby seeks approval of comprehensive accounting of water use and replacement of out-of-priority depletions under the Cottonwood Augmentation Plan, as modified herein. 31. Removal of limitation on well pumping: Cottonwood seeks the removal of previously-stipulated well pumping limits applicable to certain of Cottonwood’s tributary wells, as agreed to with ACWWA and incorporated into paragraph 21 of the decree in Case No. 81CW142, should Cottonwood enter into a written agreement with ACWWA providing for such removal. 32. Discontinue Use of Rapid Infiltration Ponds: Paragraph 17.B.2 of the decree in Case No. 81CW142 contemplated Cottonwood’s use of up to six rapid infiltration ponds (“RIPs’) to recharge water into the Cherry Creek alluvium. Cottonwood seeks to remove use of the RIPs from the Cottonwood Augmentation Plan. 33. Conclusion: Cottonwood seeks adjudication of water rights, change of water rights, modification of plans for augmentation, and claim for exchange, as described above and as may be revised to address concerns expressed by water users or Colorado water officials.
