Littleton voters overwhelmingly rejected Ballot Question 300 in initial results on March 7.
Uno cial results released at 9 p.m. showed 71% of voters opposing the measure, which proposed changes to the city charter’s sections about initiatives and referendums.
Shirley Bennett was going through the jury duty selection process at the Arapahoe County Courthouse when o cials called a recess. She and other potential jurors walked into the hallway.
“I remember walking outside (of the courtroom) and sitting on a bench,” Bennett said. “And I re-
member waking up four days later.”
Between the moments she remembers, Bennett, who is 69, went into cardiac arrest. anks to the rapid response of dozens of court deputies and other bystanders on scene that day, she is alive to tell the story.
On March 9, Bennett returned to the courthouse to express her gratitude to the rst responders who saved her life in February by performing cardiopulmonary resuscitation.
“I don’t know you all one by one or name by name, but I love you and appreciate you,” she said.
“You’re in my prayers and you’re in my thoughts. I know we hear
the prayers and thoughts thing so much with all the tragedy and things that happen. But I mean that from my heart — no pun intended — that I love you, I appreciate you.”
At the event, South Metro Fire Rescue recognized 19 Arapahoe County law enforcement o cers for their e orts in helping save Bennett’s life.
Sgt. Robert Chase, one of the rst people to arrive on the scene of the emergency, was among those recognized.

Speci cally, the measure would have reduced the signature threshold needed for citizen petitions that aim to add new laws or challenge ordinances. e measure would also have shortened the timeline for when special elections based on those petitions must be held.
e ballot item started to take shape when a group of residents felt the city ignored their petition and votes regarding the rezoning of the Aspen Grove shopping center for new housing last year.
John Marchetti, who is part of REVision Littleton, a group that led the ballot 300 petitioning e orts, said the measure came up as an e ort to “increase (citizens’) ability to be heard by city council.”
Opponents of the measure expressed concern that the measure would do the opposite, giving special interest groups an “outsize say” in the city while forcing expensive special elections that tend to have low voter turnout.

Low-income households face a tighter budget this month as the program that helps families in Colorado buy food saw its pandemic-era funding boost come to an end.
Coloradans who receive bene ts from the federal Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP, had received an extra amount of bene ts every month since March 2020 in response to the coronavirus pandemic.
e extra amount, or “emergency allotments,” were authorized by Congress, but they ended due to recent congressional action. A nal emergency allotment was issued in February, according to the Colorado Department of Human Services.
If you’re struggling with the drop in bene ts, it may help to turn to local programs and organizations.

Englewood police have arrested a man suspected of sexual exploitation of a child for a second time this month, the police department announced in a March 8 news release.
According to the release, police arrested Homer Daniel Lewis, 73, on March 2. e police department said o cers responded to a welfare check at an Englewood residence, where o cers and mental health responders reportedly contacted Lewis.
While inside the residence, the o cers allegedly observed evidence of child pornography “in plain view,” the police department said in the release.
Detectives responded to the address and Lewis was arrested on charges of sexual exploitation of a child, per the release.
e following day, March 3, detectives executed a search warrant and allegedly “located additional evidence to support the charges,” according to the release.
“Lewis had been released on a personal recognizance bond by the Arapahoe County Courts but failed to appear for his court date today, March 8, 2023, where he was formally charged with ve counts of sexual exploitation of a child,” the police department said in the release.
e Colorado Judicial Branch denes a personal recognizance bond, also called a PR bond, as a signature bond in which the defendant’s signature acts as the promise to appear in court. e bond does not involve any money or property as long as the defendant appears at all future court dates.
e Arapahoe County Court reportedly issued a warrant for Lewis’ arrest and at approximately 2:24 p.m. March 8, Englewood o cers arrested Lewis at his residence, according to the release.
If residents have any information regarding this case, the police department asked that they call the non-emergency number 303-7617410.

When Logan Perea was only one week old, he started kidney dialysis.
Born with end stage renal failure, his kidneys could not function on their own. While other kids in Littleton were playing outside as toddlers, Logan spent the rst three years of his life hooked up to a machine for four to 14 hours at a time.
In January, the 4-year-old celebrated his one year anniversary of his kidney transplant, which made it possible for him to live a life without dialysis. Even after his transplant, however, he continues to face health challenges and show strength in ghting them.
In March, student leaders at Chat eld Senior High School chose Logan to be their featured child for their 10th annual “Wish Week,” which raises funds to help kids like him have their dreams ful lled through Make-A-Wish Colorado.
A call to donate
“A lot of the time when you see kidney disease, you think about seeing people in movies or shows that are adults going doing hemodialysis or whatever, but kids go through it too,” said Samantha Perea, Logan’s mother. “It’s really impactful on them and makes it hard for them to
do normal activities and be around other kids.”
One day, in the midst of Logan’s dialysis journey, Perea made a decision that would change their lives — she decided to dye her hair purple. rough a Facebook post, she met Devin Hu , a hairstylist in her early twenties who grew up in Littleton.
Perea started going to Hu regularly for hair appointments. Over the course of six or seven months, they got to know each other and Hu started to learn Logan’s story.
“I was doing (Perea’s) hair one day and she was talking to me like she normally does, you know, about her kid and her life and stu ,” Hu said.
“And she had just happened to bring up that he was an O positive blood type. And I don’t know, I kinda call it the universe or, you know, whatever people believe in — something just kind of hit me. I didn’t say anything to her, but I was like ‘I think that I want to try to donate my kidney to this little boy.’”
Without telling Perea, Hu got tested and learned that she was an almost perfect match for Logan.
“ ey said the next closest match would have been a sibling,” she said. Hu , who previously worked as a certi ed nursing assistant with liver and kidney transplant patients, said she had insight on what a major difference transplants could make.
“I don’t think that people realize how big of a deal it is when people receive organs,” she said. “Logan was just so young and so little. And I got to see his mom, and it kind of
put me back to watching what the families struggled through of people I was taking care of.”
Some people questioned Hu ’s decision, but she said there was never a doubt in her mind that she was doing the right thing.
“It’s not as scary as people would think it is when you put it into perspective of what people are going through like Logan,” she said. “ e surgery itself was such a small thing compared to what Logan’s been through for his whole life and the things he had to miss out on... It was life-changing for him and it was such a small thing in comparison
that I could do for him.”
Perea said she was grateful for Hu and her decision.
“She’s a really incredible person and she has an incredible family we’re just extremely grateful for her,” she said.
Wish week
Logan got connected with MakeA-Wish Colorado after his kidney transplant. Perea said the organization has given him many special opportunities, several of which came through him being the featured child
for Chat eld’s fundraising week.
“I’m actually alumni of Chat eld,” she said. “So that was special that high school was having their tenth (Wish Week) anniversary and also chose my son to be their Make-AWish kid.”
In December, Logan accompanied the Chat eld women’s ag football team to a Denver Broncos game, where he got to meet some players.
During Wish Week, Logan, his family and Hu went to several restaurants for fundraising events.
About thirty students planned the week, said Lyli Alcover-Matsuda, one of the student leaders. During the school days, there was a mu n sale, games and other challenges that students and sta could pay to participate in.
e highlight of the week was
when the students invited Rocky, the mascot of the Denver Nuggets, to their nal assembly for Logan to meet.
e week’s events raised more than $30,000, which is enough to grant the wishes of four Colorado children with critical illnesses, according to the school.
“I just feel like being able to make a di erence in another person’s life, whether you know them or not, is really important, and it’s de nitely what the world needs more of,” Alcover-Matsuda said.
For Perea, the best part of the week was seeing the community come together for Logan and their family.
“It’s really been a journey through his health experience,” she said. “We just kind of learn to appreciate the little things and focus on positives and take everything one day at a time… It’s just been really amazing to see the community come together in support of us and Make-A-Wish and just see that people care.”

Speakers told stories of bravery, challenge and resiliency at a community discussion hosted by Immigrant Pathways Colorado on March 4.
e event, called “Boots on the Ground: e Humanitarian Crisis in Denver,” focused on the refugees arriving to the Denver area in recent months. Speakers included representatives from organizations serving these refugees and an immigrant who crossed the Mexican border.
Immigrant Pathways Colorado is a Littleton-based nonpro t organization that aims to assist immigrants to make Colorado their home and to build mutually respectful relationships within the community, according to its website.
Susan ornton, co-chair of Immigrant Pathways Colorado, welcomed the 40 community members who attended the event.
She explained the organization’s three main projects, which are: providing self-development grants for documented, low-income immigrants, o ering scholarships for immigrant students at Arapahoe Community College and conducting community workshops to educate the community about immigrants and the immigration system in the
United States.
Julia Guzman, an immigration attorney and board member of the nonpro t, spoke about immigration policy. Claudia Villa, an immigration
attorney who is involved with the Justice and Mercy Legal Aid Center spoke about incarceration, crowded shelters and the resiliency of immigrants. Marlene Bedoya of the Jus-
tice and Mercy Legal Aid Center and Norma Lopez, an immigrant from Mexico City, shared their personal
stories of immigration.
ornton said her biggest takeway from the event was the resiliency of immigrants and all of the challenges they overcome in coming to the U.S. She said its important for the community to learn these stories.
“ ese people are here, and they’re here to stay,” she said. “We want them to be as integrated into our culture and community as possible, just like we want everyone to be involved. So I think it’s important that community members understand people from other cultures and have a sense of their stories.”
Future events held by Immigrant Pathways Colorado will be found on their website at connectingimmigrants.org/events/ or by signing up for their newsletter.

having a pretty signi cant medical event,” he said. “(We) could tell right away — we assessed real quickly — that we needed to start CPR. So that’s what we did, and more people started showing up as well.”
Chase said the emergency happened during the courts’ lunch break, making it possible for many deputies, who otherwise would have been in trials, to respond to the scene.
Several o cers performed CPR on Bennett while others gathered witness statements and cleared pathways in preparation for South Metro Fire Rescue’s arrival. ey performed CPR for about 10 minutes before paramedics and emergency medical technicians arrived.
Bennett had two more heart attacks that day, one in the ambulance and one at the hospital.
Early intervention
Jens Pietrzyk, division chief of emergency medical services at South Metro Fire Rescue, told the group at the March 9 event that his department sees about 500 cases of cardiac arrest per year. Of that, only about 10% end in full recovery like Bennett’s case did.
One of the most important factors in being able to successfully resuscitate someone when they have cardiac arrest is early intervention.
“When somebody gets to the hospital after cardiac arrest, if they’ve had early CPR, if they’ve had early interventions, then we have “She’s the rst one that we actually ties used a bag valve mask to help
with breathing and employed an automated external de brillator, which didn’t call for a shock. Eventually, her pulse returned. South Metro Fire Rescue paramedics gave Bennett a breathing tube and she began to move.
“Jury duty saved my life”
In Kohl’s eyes, Bennett’s attitude is one of the reasons she survived. “ ere’s been evidence that shows having a good attitude in your recovery helps patients recover quicker and better,” he said. “And she’s a perfect example — her attitude’s infectious. And if there were more people with her attitude, the world would be a better place.”
Bennett said she hopes her experience inspires more people to get trained in CPR, as it truly can save lives. Before it saved hers, she started the CPR training program at RTD, where she worked for almost 40 years.
“I just wish it’s the kind of thing that everyone could learn to do,” she said. “I’m very much a proponent of CPR, rst aid, and all of those types of things. And I never knew it would go full circle and come back — that one day I would need it, and I had a whole band of angels there who came to my rescue.”
While most people dread receiving a jury summons, Bennett will never look at that civic role the same way. “People have said ‘I’ll do anything to get out of jury duty,’” she said. “Jury duty saved my life — because if I had not been at jury duty at that time, I would have been at home alone. And the outcome could have been totally di erent.”
Investors have been on the stock market and interest rate roller coaster so long they may feel as though they have gone mad. Planning around continued volatility is a challenge unless you are committed to updating goals at least annually. People who stick their heads in the sand and avoid planning “until the market settles down” are missing opportunities and are likely to go o track. is could take years or never rectify once you lose focus.
is is one of the many reasons why the Board of Certi ed Financial Planners has added psychology as an important component of nancial planning. Until the advisor and client can discuss fears, con icts, money beliefs and biases openly, it will be di cult to stay on track or even build the right kind of plan.
It is not easy to discuss these things, such as:
— Your rst recollection of money
— Your money story, beliefs, conicts, biases
— In uences on your nancial behavior
However having these conversations helps boost emotional intelligence. is includes self-awareness of mental triggers, taking responsi-
bility for a situation and helping to facilitate positive change.
Many people become frustrated when they cannot make progress toward their nancial goals or may not even know how to set realistic goals. It is crucial to have the right mindset before you begin your nancial improvement journey.
Speak to your advisor about the psychology exercise to help you progress, especially if any of these sound familiar:
• Squandering nancial windfalls
• In denial about spending, lack of saving or investment knowledge
• Enabling others or controlling others with money
• Over or underspending
• Extreme anxiety around nancial matters
• Unrealistic expectations
• Feeling guilty for having or receiving wealth
• Fear of losing money or making the wrong decision
Normalizing irrational behavior helps decrease anxiety and shame. We are not often taught how to handle nancial a airs so when pressed to do so, we lack the condence and knowledge to make good decisions.
We often quote George Kinder, CFP,* a pioneer in the early 1980s in nancial planning, by asking three main questions:
1. Imagine you are nancially secure, and you do not need to worry about money. How would you live your life?
2. Imagine your doctor tells you
that you only have ve more years to live, but you will not feel ill or be in pain. What will you do with your remaining time?
3. You only have one day left to live. Ask yourself, “What did I miss?” “Who did I not get to be?” “What did I not get to do?”
e idea of these questions is to help prioritize what is most important so you have no regrets, don’t waste any more time getting started, and are able to enjoy your passions.
Kinder states that these answers don’t reveal the desire to make more money, work harder or receive a promotion. ey typically relate to one of these ve categories:
1. Family or relationships
2. Authenticity or spirituality
3. Ful lling creative goals
4. Giving back and leaving a positive legacy
5. A sense of place such as travel to special places or living in a certain environment.
All of these exercises are designed to help you create a more meaningful thought process around your nancial goals and challenges. While it may be uncomfortable, few things in life bring immediate gain without a little pain. You can think about these questions before your next planning meeting and even discuss them with your family to gain perspective. en let your wealth advisor help you discover what is important and how to create a plan that is e ective for you. You will be less worried about things out of your control, such as the stock market or interest rates, and more concerned about your nancial impact on your family and other passions you have.

Small gestures are big
recently took my children to an event created by a mom and employee of a local school district. I only found out about the monthly gathering hosted in my community by chance at a birthday party.After reading the agenda for the March invite, I opted to take my two elementary-school sons and check it out. I was impressed because the entire event taught us all, at di erent age levels, the importance of contributions and service to our local communities.
With this month’s focus on service we were all encouraged to bring supplies to build special kits for the homeless community. e kits consisted of warming gloves, toothpaste, toothbrushes, Kleenex, lip balm, socks and more. Our children worked to help build the bags to be donated to Aurora Warms the Night in the future. While the goal was to create about 50 bags, based on the amount of supplies donated, I’m sure the nonpro t organization received a lot more.
In talking to my sons after the gathering, they talked about how they learned that the simple gesture of opening a door for someone is considered good service in our community. My 6-year-old, while enamored by the laminating machine, did get some value from his breakout session. Along with an art project, he also learned the meaning of the Mother Teresa quote, “Give your hands to serve and your hearts to love.”
Parents were also required to participate in a breakout group where we interviewed each other and learned a bit more about virtues. As we listened to answers and got to know some of the community parents we did not know — we realized how good it felt to hear good things from others.
When we talked about what we gained from the exercise, one participating dad summed it up well — he said we often get caught up in judging others, having preconceived notions based on a look or attitude, when in reality hearing from someone else about our own good traits and values made him feel good.
is was one example of good happening quietly in our local communities. I truly saw the value in a day like this where it teaches our kids that the world is not just about how many material things we can take from it, but also how small, kind gestures can make it a better place.
In our own newspapers over recent weeks, I cannot say enough about the good deeds and treasured moments our reporters are capturing. I am like many newspaper readers, while I want to know the controversy and newsy stu , I also love to hear about and know about the good news.
From our local high schools in Douglas and Arapahoe counties raising funds to make children’s wishes come true to the Castle View High School project to raise funds to help save the rainforest — our young people are doing great things to help us today and in the future do better.
In Arapahoe County, we have a story of citizens and deputies at a courthouse coming together to save one woman’s life.
ere is always a place out there to lend a hand. Whether it be through a small gesture to help someone with a door or a handful of groceries or on a bigger scale of making sure 50 or more homeless people get some extra supplies or help — We can make a big di erence through small gestures every day.

I share that story as one recently shared with me because not too long ago I happened to be playing golf with a couple of customers. One of the guys in our group kept nding himself in trouble, meaning always hitting out of the woods or over water, playing a bit of rescue golf all day. I was standing next to him as he was trying to line up a shot around a tree. He kept walking around trying to decide to just punch the ball out or go for the risky shot that called for an intentional draw around the tree. He looked over at me and said, “God hates a coward,” and swung away.

Happy to report that although his ball did not nd the green, it ended up just a few yards short. It was a magni cent shot.
e dad stood there on his skis looking for his own entry point down. e longer he stood there, the more nervous he became, and the more nervous he became, the more his muscles tensed and froze.

We have all been faced with moments of decision on when we should choose discretion over rash bravery, and hopefully we have all decided in those most critical decision points of life that indeed discretion was the better part of valor. Making a bad decision could end up in serious injury. Making a bad decision in golf will just usually end up with several lost balls and a very bad score. But decisions when it comes to family, health, nances, careers and other key areas of life require us to use judgment and discernment before rushing into something that could cause us much greater harm than good.

Deadline Wed. for the following week’s paper.
In November, city council voted to place the measure on the ballot after the citizen-initiated petition proposing the item exceeded the required threshold of 3,628 signatures.
In February, city council passed a resolution opposing the measure to make it clear that the ballot item came from a citizen-initiated petition, not from council.
Don Bruns, who helped circulate the petition for the ballot measure, said he was very disappointed the city took a stance on the ballot measure.
“If they really believed in fair elections, they would have kept their mouth shut and let the citizens decide,” he said.
He also said the city council is more interested in money from developers than in listening to citizens.
“We moved here because we valued Littleton’s open space character, the greenery,” he said. “ is council – the only greenery they love is the money that comes into their pockets.”
Marchetti, who was a poll watcher for the election, said the votes were
Is it always the case? No, sometimes those quick or rash decisions work out. I have had a few of those over the years where my instincts took over and I went with my gut, meeting with tremendous success. However, I can share with you that I have also made many bad decisions to take an immediate action, being brave or courageous at the absolute wrong time, and well, those turned out as you would expect, some injury, heartache, and metaphorically a lot of lost golf balls and high scores in life.
I love this quote from Matt Damon’s character in “We Bought a Zoo”: “You know, sometimes all you need is 20 seconds of insane cour-

counted properly, but he was not pleased with the results.
“It leaves the people in the same position they were at before — their representatives not representing them,” he said. “We fought fairly, and that says something to our integrity.”
Susan ornton, former Littleton mayor, said she was amazed by the outcome of the election.
“I can’t remember when we’ve had a decision that was that decisive in an election in Littleton,” she said. “I’m glad that voters wanted to protect Littleton’s charter, which has worked so well for many years... I’m delighted that my faith in the voters was upheld.”
Matt Du , a member of the proa ordable housing group Vibrant Littleton, said he was excited the voters put their trust in the city’s existing mechanisms to have citizens’ voices heard.
He also said he believes people on both sides of the measure can nd common ground of what growth can look like in Littleton.

Using Shakespeare’s quotes to temper enthusiasm in the heat of the moment, with the thought that God hates a coward, and all I need is 20 seconds of insane courage, has helped keep my balance. Do you know when and how to choose wisely? I would love to hear your story at gotonorton@gmail.com, and when we nd that balance between discretion and courage, it really will be a better than good life.

October 27, 1929 - December 31, 2022
Delmer F. Watson, 93, long-time resident of Centennial, Colorado, died on December 31, 2022 in Appleton, Wisconsin. He is survived by his wife, Janice Miller Watson and two daughters, Ellen (Tad Neuhaus) and Elizabeth, all of Appleton.
Del was born in New Diggings, Wisconsin on October 27, 1929. He grew up in Benton, Wisconsin, one of ve siblings. He graduated from Benton High School in 1947, attended school for two years in Platteville, served in the artillery in Korea during 1950-51, and on his return attended the University of Wisconsin, Madison, earning a degree in 1956.
After graduating from the University, he
went to work as an Underwriter with Farmers Mutual Insurance company, later named American Family Insurance Company, where he spent his career. His job brought him to Colorado in 1977, which was home for 41 years, with many friends and happy times in the mountains camping and hiking, and many visits to the Denver Art Museum and local art galleries. e Watsons moved to Appleton in 2018 to be nearer their daughters. Services will be held at All Saints Episcopal Church in Appleton, WI, on Saturday, March 18, 2023. Donations may be made in his memory to the Wisconsin Parkinson Association, e Denver Art Museum or a charity of your choice.
Af ter more than 20 years of collecting pinball machines, Dan Nikolich’s basement had run out of space to store them all. So Nikolich opened the Colorado Pinball Pub in Littleton to share his collection.
“Pinball is a unique thing because it doesn’t matter what your background or walk of life is, pinball will draw you in,” he said. “It’s a great equalizer because it only takes one ball.”
While the concept of offering drinks and games at one location is nothing new, the Denver area is host to a number of unique takes on the Dave and Buster’s business model.
Colorado Pinball Pub is one of the newer additions to the barcade scene, having opened in 2020. The pub offers 22 pinball machines, plus a few classic arcade games like PacMan and Centipede, for unlimited play for $15 per hour.
Nikolich’s love for games started young, when he was growing up in Las Vegas and working for the MGM Arcade, so he was happy to see the recent rise in pinball’s popularity.
“Pinball is having a great resurgence right now. The last few years it’s been really hot,” he said. “We have parents who will bring their kids who have never played pinball and, at night, we get a lot of adults and date nights, stuff like that. All people seem to like pinball.”
Like the pub’s patrons, the pinball machines available range in age and theme, with Nikolich’s oldest machine being from 1981. The walls of the pub also pay homage to the history of the game, including its prohibition from 1940s to the 1970s, with pictures and news clippings.
In addition to pinball, the pub features over 150 kinds of whiskey, craft cocktails and Colorado brewed beer.
Nikolich said the goal is to have something for everyone and to make it approachable, whether that’s pinball or whiskey.
“We want you to come and learn about it and not be intimidated to ask if you don’t know something, we want to teach you, so that you can enjoy something new,” he said.
On the opposite side of the metro area, another
one-of-a-kind barcade is Akihabara, which, while located in Westminster, transports visitors to the Tokyo gaming district that gives the business its name.
Owner Brandon Osha said he was blown away when he had the chance to visit Akihabara and take in its blocks of multi-story arcades.
“The first time I went to Akihabara I knew I wanted to bring that here because it’s amazing,” Osha said.
He did just that by opening Akihabara in 2016.
Similar to Nikolich, Osha grew up with a love of gaming and worked at a local arcade and GameStop. Instead of pinball though, Osha’s games of choice came in arcade cabinets, which he began collecting at age 16.
Currently, Akihabara offers 52 arcade cabinets with around 65 games, but Osha has plans to expand his location with 25 new games and additional space, which he said will be complete this summer.
Osha said the game selection, which includes fighting games, rhythm games and nostalgic classics, definitely sets Akihabara apart.
“You never see this many (arcade cabinets) in one place,” he said. “We have such a different variety of games that you won’t find anywhere else in Colorado.”
One of the stranger and more rare games Akihabara offers is a Japanese table flipping game called Cho Chabudai, but more well-known games include Third Strike, Monkeyball, Typing of the Dead and Pretty Soldier Sailor Moon. All of the games are $1 or less to play.
Osha said a lot of people come in seeking a specific game that’s hard to find anywhere else, but he encourages visitors to try whatever piques their interest, even if they can’t necessarily read the Japanese instructions.
“I think it’s a lot of games that people have never seen, but they might find something that they like,” he said. “Plus, it’s usually only three buttons and a joystick, so they’re not too hard to learn.”
Akihabara’s focus on Japanese culture carries over into the bar offerings, which include Japanese beers and cocktails made with Japanese liquor, as well as a variety of packaged snacks and ramen options.
Overall, Osha said he tries to provide a space that’s both niche and for everyone, describing the Akihabara crowd as a welcoming hodgepodge.
“If you’re looking to find a friend, you’ll find one around here somewhere,” he said.

Th ere are some 20 th century plays that are simply synonymous with the theater. And right at the top of that list is ornton Wilder’s immortal story of small-town life and love, “Our When a show has such a strong reputation, it can be easy to think of it as rigid and traditional, with no production having anything worthwhile to add. But as any regular of the Arvada Center can attest, the company never does a production without giving it a unique spin.
“Our production, to me, feels like the product of pure artistic collaboration,” wrote Archer Rosenkrantz, who plays Joe Crowell and Wally Webb at the Center, in an email interview. “I feel lucky to work under leadership that values everyone’s voices in the room, and I think that our production is a re ection of that.”
As part of the 2023 Black Box Repertory eater season, “Our Town” runs at the Arvada Center , 6901 Wadsworth Blvd., through Saturday, May 20. Performances are at 7:30 p.m. ursday through Saturday, 1 p.m. on Wednesday and 2 p.m. on Sunday.
e play, directed by Geo rey Kent, is set in the ctional town of
Grover’s Corners, New Hampshire from 1901 to 1913, and follows the lives of some of the residents as they grapple with major life events and attempt to get a handle on the eeting nature of existence.
“Geo ’s vision for the show was that it isn’t just a show you see, you as the audience feel like a part of the story, and a part of the process, almost like being let in on a secret,” wrote Claylish Coldiron, who plays Emily Webb, in an email interview.
“We perform in the round in a very intimate theatre, which we have utilized every corner of, so that when the show starts, the audience is being invited to join the world we create for the next two hours.”
One of the decisions that adds a more personal touch to the experience is to allow Rosenkrantz to portray Wally as autistic.
“As an autistic actor, I’m ecstatic that my director was on board with allowing Wally to be autistic as well for this production. Wally has special interests like most autistic kids, and he thrives when he’s able to engage with them,” they wrote.
“Even though Emily and Wally don’t always see eye to eye, Wally loves Emily deeply. He looks up to her, and sometimes envies her ability to succeed in school where he often struggles.”
One of the many things that makes “Our Town” so timeless is how applicable it is to every person, whether on stage or in the audience.
“ is script… brought to light
how beautiful and spectacular life really is, and how precious, not in a way that is fragile but in a way that made us all want to hold it a little tighter and do a little more with whatever time and space we have,” Coldiron wrote.

As the population of unhoused people continues to grow across the country and Colorado, thousands of people die every year, often while living in the streets, in cars or tents.
Despite this, there are few organizations that o er services to help the unhoused navigate sickness and eventually death.
“ is a respite before I die,” said Daniel, somberly, while talking with Rocky Mountain PBS. He’s 63-yearsold, unhoused and dying from cancer.
“It’s comfortable in here. I don’t want to die on the streets,” he said. “I’d rather be in here and be comfortable until I’m deceased.”
Daniel is staying at Rocky Mountain Refuge, an organization in Denver that provides hospice care for those experiencing homelessness.
Rocky Mountain Refuge has created a space to make unhoused people comfortable.
“ ey do everything they can for you here. is room is also cozy,” Daniel explained, gesturing across the space which ts two hospital beds, a dresser, desk and a nightstand. e few possessions Daniel has, he keeps close. He became unhoused almost three years ago.
Rocky Mountain Refuge o ers end of life care for those experiencing homelessness regardless of race, age, gender, gender expression, age, nationality, disability or marital status.
ere are three beds rented out of a room in the Denver Rescue Mission.
Certi ed nursing assistant Timisha Buskey helps keep everything running.
“ is is personal to me because my mother passed and watching my mother inspired me to want to take care of others who have illnesses that they will eventually die from,” Buskey explained.
e organization is planning to expand and add more beds. Sta and volunteers o er basic care, help with laundry, and cleaning, while nurses and physicians o er basic medical
services. eir mission is to help those who are unhoused nd a comfortable and safe space to spend their last days before the end of life.
At least 20 people a day die without a home to live in across the United States, according to Homeless Death Count, a nonpro t that tracks those numbers. In 2020, nearly 8,000 unhoused people died in the streets.
Rocky Mountain Refuge says it is the only shelter of its kind in Colorado and just one of four in the country that focuses exclusively on people
experiencing homelessness.
Daniel says he’s grateful for the organization’s services.
“Some people would rather die on the streets, but I’m not one of those people,” Daniel said. “I’d just like to be comfortable until I’m deceased.”

BY ALEX K.W. SCHULTZ SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA
e Mountain Vista boys basketball program’s dream of playing in a state championship game for the rst time in school history will have to wait at least another year.
With a senior-laden and talent-rich roster, the Golden Eagles thought this very well may have been the year when the stars would align and they would nally, after knocking on the door several times in seasons past, gain entry into Colorado high school basketball’s biggest party.
But Vista, the No. 1 seed in the Class 6A tournament, ran into a deep, hot-shooting and ball-hawking Denver East team March 10 inside an electric Denver Coliseum, where an estimated 3,500 fans were on hand to take in the two teams’ Final Four game.
Five Angels scored in double gures and fourth-seeded East outrebounded the 6A/5A Continental League champions by a dozen to win 86-67, ending what was a memorable season for the Golden Eagles.
(East went on to rout Fossil Ridge 82-61 the following day for the state title. Now a 12-time state champion, East is tied with Manual for the most state titles in Colorado).
“I’m super proud of them,” said Vista coach Brian Wood, playing in his rst Final Four as a head coach. “I’d love to get [a state championship] at some point. I thought we had a pretty good chance this year. It’s just the way it goes sometimes,
e Cherry Creek and Arapahoe girls basketball teams both lost close semi nal games in the Class 6A state basketball tournament on March 10 at the Denver Coliseum.
Mountain Vista’s top-seeded boys teams also lost a Final Four game but it wasn’t close in the second Grandview sank four free throws in the closing seconds to defeat second-seeded Cherry Creek 3128 in a game between Centennial League rivals.
Arapahoe was forced to make a tough decision with 2.8 seconds remaining before dropping a 53-50 decision to Monarch.
Mountain Vista trailed Denver East by only one point at halftime but a big third-quarter surge propelled the Angels to outscore the Golden Eagles 51-33 in the second half en route to a 86-67 victory.
Mountain Vista Head Coach Brian Wood and Caden Stevens (22) share a moment as the game winds down. The Golden Eagles ended the season with an 86-67 Final Four loss to Denver East.
Cherry Creek (22-5) was down by eight points in the third quarter but rallied to grab a 28-27 lead with 1:37 remaining in the game. at’s when Isa Dillehay and Sienna Betts each
made two free throws to provide the winning margin as Creek’s poor shooting continued in the second half of the turnover- lled contest.
Creek went 6:49 without scoring in the third quarter and shot only 15.8% in the second half and 20.9 percent for the game.
Still, the Bruins had a chance and were behind by a point with 12 seconds to play when Addison Beck missed a three-point shot.
“I’m disappointed for the kids,” said Creek coach Clint Evans. “ ey battled so hard defensively to try to limit Sienna but we couldn’t score. We had our best shooter with a wide-open three-pointer to take the lead and sometimes the ball just doesn’t go in. I wanted Addy to shoot that shot.”
Betts, the 6-foot-4 sophomore who is the Colorado Gatorade Player of the Year, had 16 points and 15 rebounds. Tianna Chambers led Creek with 10 points
Arapahoe (20-7) faced an almost no-win situation in its game against Monarch when the team trailed 51-47 with 12.1 seconds left in the game.
but I’m very proud to have gotten to coach these guys.
“ is is an extra special group, 10 seniors. ey really love each other. I told them to hold their heads high. ey have nothing to be but proud. is is a great group of guys.” Vista was good. Five Golden Eagles also had double-digit scoring nights: Caden Stevens (16 points), Cal Baskind and Brendan Diel (12 apiece), and Zach Bowen and Radek Homer (11 each).
East was just better. Austin Mohr, whom Wood described as “one of the 10 best” players in Colorado, recorded a double-double (15 points, 12 rebounds). Gil Gonzalez scored a game-high 20 points on 73% shooting (8-for-11). D’Aundre Samuels, lauded by Wood as “probably the best player in the state,” had 16 points and looked unstoppable at times. And don’t forget about Jack Greenwood and Sam Scott, who
Arapahoe senior Sydney White was fouled shooting a three-pointer with 2.8 seconds on the clock. She sank the rst two free throws to pull within two points and the Warriors had to decide whether to intensionally miss the third free throw and try for a rebound.
Smith made the third free throw as Arapahoe closed to within a point and then Monarch’s Hayley Luther was fouled on the inbounds pass and she made both free throws to account for the three-point margin.
“We discussed that (missing the last free throw) in our timeout,” said Warriors’ coach Jerry Knafelc. “We tried to deny the ball inbounds and we were close to getting a ve-second call and then we would of got the ball back but we didn’t.”
Gianna Smith was the top scorer for Arapahoe with 19 points. White had 16 points and Emerson Stark 10 but the Warriors were outrebonded, 43-25, and Knafelc noted that was the di erence in the game.
Mountain Vista (24-3) couldn’t nd a way to slow down Denver East in the second half.
“ ey are the type of team you have to give up something,” said Vista coach Brian Wood. “We were giving threes to some of their guys we would have not rather had
scored 12 and 11 points, respectively.
Moral of the story: From top to bottom, the players on East’s roster could do damage on the scoreboard. When Samuels got in foul trouble midway through the third quarter, longtime East coach Rudy Carey simply plugged in another player and the scoring continued.
In all, East attempted 22 more shots than the Golden Eagles, who were making their fourth Final Four appearance in program history.
“ eir shot-making ability is just incredible,” Stevens said. “It’s really hard to defend a team when all their players, one through eight, can make shots. It’s tough. at’s what makes them so good.”
What also made the Angels so good was their desire for the ball. East outrebounded Vista 41-29, which included a 20-11 advantage in o ensive boards. ose o ensive retrievals led to 20 second-chance points for the Angels.
“What surprised me the most was how badly they hurt us on the o ensive glass,” Wood said. “ at was the
shooting but they just kept making them. And it seemed like when they missed them, they went and got the ball.
“It’s hard to win when you give up 86 points. I’m really proud of this team and it is just hard when it ends so abruptly.”
di erence in the game.”
ings got a little interesting midway through the fourth quarter when Vista scored seven consecutive points — a Stevens two-pointer from the low post, a Bowen pull-up jumper and a Baskind corner three — over a span of 55 seconds to narrow East’s lead to seven.
But the Angels outscored the Golden Eagles 23-11 the rest of the way to prevent any kind of late-game drama.
After Vista (24-3) scored the game’s rst ve points, East (25-2) rode an 18-2 run — the longest run by either team — to an 18-14 lead at the end of the rst quarter.
e two teams essentially played to a draw in the second period.
A driving shot by Homer early on in the third quarter, after he ripped down a rebound on the other end, gave the Golden Eagles what proved to be their last lead (39-38) of the night — and their season.
“We just struggled to get shots (to fall) on o ense (in the second half),” said Stevens, whose Golden Eagles shot 38% in the third and fourth
• Denver East nished with ve players scoring in double gures.
• Caden Stevens had 17 points for Vista to which also had ve players in double gures. Brendan Diehl and Celeb Baskind each had 12 points while Radek Homer and Zach Brown contributed 11 points.
quarters compared to the Angels’ 55% mark. Worse yet, East was 75% (6-for-8) from three-point range in the second half compared to Vista’s 20% (2-for-10) clip. “ e rst time we played them (an 81-72 East win on Jan. 17), whenever we got shots on o ense, we made most of them.”
Stevens will now turn his attention to the college game — MSU Denver has already o ered him a scholarship and he’s receiving interest from several other Division I and II schools as well — but said he’ll never forget the season recorded in 2022-23 by a group of teenagers at the school o East Wildcat Reserve Parkway in Highlands Ranch.
And, of course, he’ll never forget his teammates, especially his fellow seniors: Bowen, Diehl, Homer, Cade Artzer, Bryan Cozad, Luke Fenn, Jake Nelson, Dominic Perkins and Ian Strawbridge.
“I love all of them,” Stevens said. “ is year was so fun. at was the best season I’ve ever had in my life, just because of them — great teammates, a great coach [Wood] right here. It was a great season.”

ECCV has diverted beneficially used water from the Cherry Creek Wells in the following amounts, which it hereby claims as ABSOLUTE: 4.1.1. D istrict Alluvial Well CC-10: 47 gpm (0.10 cfs). 4.1.2. District Alluvial Well CC-12: 355 gpm (0.79 cfs). The combined rates of diversion from District Alluvial Wells CC-10 and CC-12 are 402 gpm, which equals 0.89 cfs. The water has been pumped from the District Alluvial Wells and used in ECCV’s non-potable water system for schools, open space, and homeowner’s associations located within ECCV’s service area. 4.2. The amount of water remaining as CONDITIONAL is 2.60 cfs as follows: 4.2.1. District Alluvial Well CC-10: 400 gpm. 4.2.2. District Alluvial Well CC-12: 378 gpm. 4.2.3. District Alluvial Well CC-15: 386 gpm. 5. Name and address of owner of the land on which the structures are or will be located, upon which water is or will be stored, or upon which water is or will be placed to beneficial use. ECCV will use the water on lands located within ECCV’s service area. The alluvial wells sites are located on lands to which ECCV owns or has easements. WHEREFORE, Applicant East Cherry Creek Valley Water and Sanitation respectfully requests that this Court enter a decree finding that Applicant has exercised reasonable diligence in the development of the conditional water rights decreed to the District Alluvial Well CC-10, CC-12, and CC-15, that 0.89 cfs out of 6.68 cfs of its conditional alluvial ground water rights have been made ABSOLUTE, and for such other and further relief as this Court deems just and proper.

3. Detailed Outline of Work
Done For the Completion of the Conditional Appropriation and the Application of Water to a Beneficial Use. Following is a detailed outline of what has been done toward completion or for completion of the appropriation and application of water to a beneficial use as conditionally decreed, including expenditures. ECCV’s alluvial wells described above are a part of ECCV’s unified municipal water supply system and, therefore, diligence on part of said system serves as reasonable diligence for the entire project. ECCV’s system is being constructed over a considerable period of time pursuant to a phased development program which is based upon the pace of growth within ECCV’s service area. ECCV’s service area currently encompasses approximately 8,725 acres located in unincorporated Arapahoe County and includes approximately 18,000 single family water tap units. The total development is expected to include 23,500 or more single family equivalent units. During the diligence period, ECCV conducted the following work specific to the subject water rights at a cost of $123,281.14.
3.1. ECCV repaired District Alluvial Well CC-10 in July 2017, August 2017, August 2018, and May 2022. The repairs included well cleaning, replacing the pump, replacing the well level transducer, rebuilding the existing motor, and furnishing a new system control panel. 3.2.ECCV repaired District Alluvial Well CC-15 in October 2019, November 2020, May 2022. ECCV replaced the pump, overhauled the motor, tore down and reassembled the motor, and furnished a new system control panel.
3.3. ECCV repaired District Alluvial Well CC-12 in December 2021. ECCV replaced the pump, performed an equipment check, and cleaned the well.
3.4. Case No. 00CW217. ECCV’s non-potable system provides an additional water supply that is derived from the reuse of ECCV potable deliveries via the capture of lawn irrigation return flows (LIRFs) from ECCV customers. These LIRFs return to the Piney Creek/Cherry Creek alluvium. The accounting for ECCV’s lawn irrigation return flows was decreed by Division 1 Water Court in Case No. 88CW054.
3.5. Reuse of Lawn Irrigation Return Flows. During this diligence period, ECCV continued to prosecute Case No.03CW200 and 12CW200, Water Division 1, under which return flows from lawn irrigation use of the water are quantified to facilitate future reuse of this water. ECCV has performed studies of LIRFs throughout ECCV that included various analyses conducted to determine the amount, timing, and location of LIRFs within several drainage basins within ECCV’s service area, including Toll Gate Creek and Sand Creek. ECCV filed for a finding of reasonable diligence to continue the conditional right of exchange as conditional, which application was filed on September 29, 2022.
3.6. Upper Cherry Creek Water Association. ECCV is a member of the Upper Cherry Creek Water Association (“UCCWA”), established by the Establishing Contract dated December 17, 2001. The District Alluvial Wells are included as exchange-to points in UCCWA’s exchange decreed in Case No. 01CW284.
ECCV provided information on ECCV’s diligence activities in UCCWA’s application for finding of reasonable diligence to continue the right of exchange as conditional, which application was filed on October 29, 2021.
3.7. ECCV has actively protected the subject conditional water rights from
