Merger announced between business groups in northwest Douglas County Chamber, economic development group will maintain separate programs, but single office

BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The Northwest Douglas County Economic Development Corporation and the Chamber of Northwest Douglas County — previously the Highlands Ranch Chamber of Commerce — have joined forces.

The business membership organizations announced they would be merging on Jan. 1. Both serve the Highlands Ranch, Roxborough, Sterling Ranch and Highway 85 corridor

and have worked as strong partners in the past, a news release says.

“The future will definitely be bright for the Northwest Douglas County business environment as we develop and deploy resources to better support the evolving landscape in which our members operate,” Chris Bigger, of Schomp Automotive Group and chairman of the Northwest Douglas County EDC, said in the release.

In October, to be more inclusive of surrounding communities, the Highlands Ranch Chamber of Commerce changed its name to the Chamber of Northwest Douglas County.

Since its inception in 2000, the chamber has grown to 275 business memberships, representing more than 17,000 employees from Highlands Ranch and Lone Tree. The chamber offers networking events, educational programs and resources

to help businesses succeed.

Formed in 2011, the Northwest Douglas County Economic Development Corporation promotes infrastructure improvements and public policy and markets the region as a premier place to locate or expand a business, its website says.

Talk of the merger began last summer. The board of directors for both organizations voted on a formal plan with unanimous support in December, the news release says.

The two organizations will continue to operate with separate branding, memberships and programs, but will now operate as one administrative office, the release says. The Northwest Douglas County EDC Board of Directors will be the governing body for overall policy and management.

Representatives from the chamber will serve on the board.

The staff for both organizations will remain the same.

Tim Lindsey, owner of Bear Mortgage and chairman of the chamber’s board of directors, looks forward to the strengths of both organizations coming together.

“With their expertise in bringing new business to our region, and our expertise with fostering businesses, this partnership will help local businesses continue to grow and flourish as our state and region continue to grow in population,” Lindsey said in the release.

Douglas County Commissioner Lora Thomas expressed similar support.

“This merger will lead to singularly-focused, collaborative and positive energy benefitting all businesses in Northwest Douglas County,” Thomas said.

Ex-teacher accused of ‘upskirt’ video headed for trial Steven Michael Jenkins pleaded not guilty on Jan. 8, slated to begin trial in May

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The case involving Steven Michael Jenkins, a former Douglas County School District teacher and employee accused of taking “upskirt” videos of women and girls, is headed to trial after a judge twice denied a Jenkins plea agreement reached between the defense and the prosecution.

In 2017, Jenkins was working in an instructional position at Renaissance Secondary School in Castle Rock when he was arrested on charges of sexual exploitation of a child.

An investigation into Jenkins began after students reported witnessing him shoot video up the clothing of girls dressed in shorts or skirts. Police would later find videos of an estimated 10 women and three juveniles, according to the arrest affidavit in the case.

Once in court he was charged with multiple counts of invasion of privacy.

Jenkins’ attorney, Andrew Ho, has said throughout the court case they did not believe those charges fit the allegations against him, but they were in “meaningful conversations” with the district attorney’s office.

The defense and the prosecution spent months negotiating the plea agreement rejected this month, in which Jenkins would have pleaded guilty to felony charges of promotion of obscenity to a minor.

District Judge Theresa Slade denied it first on Jan. 2 and again on Jan. 8 as she and attorneys debated whether it met legal requirements and what type of treatment Jenkins needed to undergo while on probation.

Once the deal died, Jenkins withdrew his guilty plea. A four-day trial is

set to begin in May. Ho argued in court Jan. 8 the plea agreement was legally sufficient, but Slade said she could not approve it as is. As of Jan. 2, the plea agreement was suppressed.

Ho offered a brief statement following the Jan. 8 hearing, saying they would “continue to take a course of action that is in the best interest of all involved.”

In court, Ho said a new deputy district attorney was being assigned to the case and described losing the deal negotiated between him and Deputy District Attorney Valerie Brewster as putting them “back at square one.” Brewster disagreed, saying she doubted a new deal would be reached regardless of who prosecuted Jenkins.

Victims and parents of victims in attendance at both hearings spoke to Colorado Community Media on Jan. 8.

The father of one victim said he was deeply disappointed by the case’s new trajectory while the mother of another said she was frustrated therapists who evaluated Jenkins didn’t believe the videos he took were sexual acts.

Brewster said on Jan. 2 therapists believed Jenkins did not have a personality disorder and that he took the videos during a period of high stress in his life.

Jenkins had been an educator for approximately 30 years. He worked as a math teacher at Castle View High School before joining Renaissance Secondary School.

Following his arrest, Jenkins surrendered his teacher’s license and began therapy. He also began volunteering at a soup kitchen and worked his way into a management position where he is “third in command,” according to Ho. He does not supervise anyone under 18 years old.

Victims gave emotional statement on Jan. 2, when a sentencing was originally scheduled to take place. One man told Jenkins he stole his daughter’s innocence and that his “selfish desires” had “wreaked a lot of havoc.”

A tear-stricken victim supported by her father called Jenkins a liar who manipulated his position of trust.

“I don’t think I’ll ever,” she said, “trust the way I used to.”

Sheriff ’s deputies who shot and killed a man near Sedalia last year acted in self-defense and were justified in using deadly force, according to a recently-released report from the 18th Judicial District Attorney’s Office.

Paul Askins, 61, of Colorado Springs, died on Aug. 31 in what began as a routine traffic stop. Douglas County Sheriff ’s Office deputies shot him eight times after he exited a truck they’d pulled over with a stolen gun pointed at them.

The 18th Judicial District Attorney’s Office Critical Response Team investigates all officer-involved shootings in its jurisdiction.

“The deputies reasonably believed they, and each other, were in imminent danger of being killed or receiving great bodily injury from Paul Askins at the time they shot and killed Askins,” wrote Chief Deputy District Attorney Brian Sugioka.

Askins was later identified as a career criminal and wanted felon who may have been suicidal.

While investigating the shooting, authorities found a wallet belonging to Askins in the truck with a handwritten note reading “When you kill me, call these numbers.” Friends and family reported Askins recently made suicidal comments.

Here’s how the incident unfolded, according to the report: At approximately 4:40 p.m. Aug. 31, Deputies Larry Arguello and Gage Walpole were driving south on U.S. Highway 85. As they passed the intersection with Delva Road, a truck pulled out in front of them, forcing Walpole, the driver, to slam on his breaks. The truck also swerved into another lane, nearly colliding with a second vehicle.

Walpole and Arguello pulled the truck over and Walpole asked its driver for her information. There were four people inside, with Askins seated in the rear passenger seat.

Shortly after the traffic stop began, Deputy Joe Pollack arrived to assist them, if needed.

Walpole searched the driver’s information and learned she had a restraining order against her for a man matching Askins’ description.

Deputies then asked Askins for his identification.

According to the report, Askins stumbled over the name and date of birth he first gave them, eventually providing three variations of the identification. Walpole searched the information but found no record.

Deputies determined they had cause

to arrest Askins for false reporting and providing a false identification.

Walpole, standing near the door where Askins was seated, ordered him to get out of the truck. Moments later, Askins opened the door and pointed a semi-automatic pistol toward Walpole.

Walpole immediately backed away, raised his gun, fell down in the ditch and shouted, “Don’t move, don’t move.” Askins, gun raised toward Walpole, continued exiting the truck. Walpole fired 10 rounds from his pistol.

When Arguello saw Walpole fall down he believed Askins had shot him. Arguello emptied his weapon, firing eight rounds. Pollack also fired one shot. The shooting lasted approximately 7 seconds. None of the truck’s other occupants were injured.

Askins received most of his prior convictions in Texas, according to the district attorney’s office.

In 1977, he was sentenced to prison time for escaping county jail, among other charges. In the 1980s, he received three convictions for crimes including negligent homicide, burglary and credit card fraud. In 2000, he was convicted of assault and forgery, collecting another 10-year prison sentence.

Also that year, Askins was convicted as a career criminal. He was sentenced to more than 13 years in prison and released on parole in 2012. At the time of his death, Askins was wanted for two felony warrants issued in El Paso County during 2018.

According to the 18th Judicial District Attorney’s Office report, friends and family said Askins recently expressed he felt “tired of being here.”

The gun he pointed at deputies was loaded and functional but not fired during the shooting. Authorities don’t know when he wrote the note found in his wallet.

Map is sorrowful guide to lost loved ones Partnership addressing opioid crisis is tied to project born of grief

REMEMBERING LOVED ONES

The Celebrating Lost Loved Ones map can be found on the National Safety Council’s website at memorial.nsc.org. Its Stop Everyday Killers campaign with information about the opioid epidemic and its victims can be found at stopeverydaykillers.nsc.org.

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The online map is a living, breathing eulogy of people who have died from opioid use.

Matt Lazarus, of Castle Rock, “was known for having a ‘heart of gold’” and “will be missed by many,” according to his profile, which does not specify when or how he died.

“I am so proud to call him my son,” the profile reads. “Love and miss you forever Matthew.”

Alexander Leeds, of Golden, overdosed on heroin in 2013.

His profile says it was the 22-year-old’s first time using the drug — he was attempting to stifle pain from a dry socket complication from the removal of his wisdom teeth.

“As a mother it never gets easier, it just gets different.

Prayers to every mother that’s gone/going through this same pain.”

J.T. Lindemann was a Wyoming man who died in 2007 at age 22 after battling a drug addiction that started with a prescription for oxycodone.

“He is greatly missed by family and friends and will be remembered by all as a free spirit, the spark that lit up a room with his smile and funloving ways,” his profile says.

The Celebrating Lost Loved Ones map — now housed on the National Safety Council website as a nationwide testament of grief and love — was first created in 2015 by J.T.’s older brother, Thornton resident Jeremiah Lindemann, to show the human impact of the opioid crisis. Armed with data from the Colorado Department of Public Health & Environment, Lindemann built a series of maps showing the steadily increasing numbers of opioid overdose deaths in Adams County and the state from 2000 to 2014.

Lindemann then scheduled a meeting with Adams County commissioners, which inspired them to connect with other organizations and elected officials battling opioid misuse.

Eventually, as a result of that outreach, Adams and Arapahoe counties teamed with Tri-County Health Department, a health agency serving Arapahoe, Adams and

WHERE CAN I DISPOSE OF PRESCRIPTION MEDICATIONS?

A woman stands in front of the Prescribed to Death memorial exhibited through the Stop Everyday Killers campaign run by the National Safety Council. The exhibit features 22,000 opioid pills engraved with the faces of people who died from opioids. The campaign also promotes a map, the Celebrating Lost Loved Ones map, first created by Thornton man Jeremiah Lindemann to document the local impact of the opioid crisis.

Jeremiah Lindemann helped kick-start a three-county partnership to prevent opioid overdoses when he approached his Adams County commissioners in 2015 with concerns about the national opioid crisis. Lindemann lost his brother, J.T., who battled an addiction to prescription medication.

COURTESY PHOTO citizen coming in,” Adams County Commissioner Steve O’Dorisio said of Lindemann.

“He was so influential.”

Diving in For Lindemann, the maps were a way to open up about his brother’s death after years of silence.

J.T. was transparent about his oxycodone use, Lindemann said. “He said, ‘Give me five minutes and I can go into any bar and come out with it.’

He knew how to get it. It was just everywhere.”

Lindemann, however, was confused by the drug. He’d rarely heard of oxycodone and didn’t know the medication could be addictive. At the

time of J.T.’s death, in 2007, no one talked about opioids, namely prescription pain medication, as addictive substances, let alone an epidemic, Lindemann said.

In those days, Lindemann rarely spoke about his brother’s drug use. “It’s not easy talking about losing someone close to you to drugs, because of the stigma,” he said.

Then actor Philip Seymour Hoffman died in 2014 from a combination of drugs, including heroin. A Colorado senator’s son was arrested and charged with heroin possession that same year. A story related to opioids was seemingly on the news each night, Lindemann said. The issue suddenly seemed to be everywhere.

In 2015, he decided J.T.’s story also needed to be told.

And that he needed to do something to help.

A self-described tech geek who works in GIS mapping and knows how to mold piles of data into animated, storytelling maps, he did just that by creating a presentation comprising about seven maps detailing the rising number of opioid-related deaths in Adams County. In May of that year, he showed them to the Adams County commissioners and coroner.

The maps were haunting, O’Dorisio remembers.

The first one painted counties across Colorado in shades of red based on their number of opioid deaths since 2000.

Adams County, along with Denver, Jefferson and El Paso,

Locations and maps of medication take-back sites are available on the Colorado Department of Health & Environment website, colorado.gov/cdphe, along with information about what is and is not accepted.

The others showed activity on social media from people sharing about lost loved ones, locations of medication dropoff sites, deaths broken down by age or drug type, and more.

“It really struck each of us, how scary it was, how serious the situation was,” O’Dorisio said. “It made me want to dive in.”

Roughly three months after the meeting, Adams County created the Adams County Opioid Prevention Group to explore how opioid overdoses and misuse could be prevented in Adams County. Its membership included county commissioners, the county coroner, the Tri-County Health Department and more.

Just the beginning In Arapahoe County, Bill Holen was grappling with his own connection to the epidemic — a 21-year-old nephew from California who grew addicted to Holen oxycodone following a car accident.

In 2012, the Arapahoe County commissioner was appointed to his first term in office when he began noticing signs of the opioid problem beyond his own family. Holen started networking with other county and state officials to address the issue. In the spring of 2013, Arapahoe County formed the Arapahoe County Opioid Task Force to closely examine the problem and try to develop a plan to SEE MAP, P7

begin to address it. It initially included the coroner, sheriff and Holen, but later expanded to include Kaiser Permanente, Holen said.

In 2013, Holen’s nephew died of a drug overdose the day after checking into a halfway house. He was attempting to transition back home after successfully completing a 30-day detox and a six-month outpatient program. He’d asked to come home, Holen said, but his parents feared he wasn’t ready and hoped the halfway house could be a stepping-stone out of treatment.

“He was a beautiful young man,” Holen said.

In 2013 and 2015, the years the Arapahoe and Adams county initiatives, respectively, began, rates of overdose deaths painted a troubling picture.

Colorado providers wrote approximately 3.7 million opioid prescriptions in 2013 and about 3.5 million in 2015, according to the National Institute on Drug Abuse.

The rate of prescription opioid overdose deaths in Arapahoe County in 2013 was 1.6 per 100,000 people. In 2010, the rate was 1.95 and last year it was 6.2 per 100,000 people.

For heroin, the rate was 2 overdose deaths per 100,000 people in 2013. In 2010, it was 0.64 and in 2017 nearly 2.5 per 100,000 people.

In 2015, when the Adams County initiative began, the county’s prescription opioid overdose death rate was 7.6 per 100,000 people. In 2010 it was 5.1 and in 2017 it was 12.6 per 100,000 people. The rate of heroin overdose deaths was 2.8 per 100,000 people in 2015 compared to 0.84 in 2010 and 4.6 in 2017.

O’Dorisio had begun researching how neighboring communities were addressing opioids when he learned Holen had already started work in Arapahoe County.

Leadership from both counties’ opioid initiatives met in early 2016 to discuss shared goals and decided to join forces.

The Tri-County Health Department came in to facilitate a new group comprising members from Adams, Arapahoe and Douglas counties. With that, the Tri-County Overdose Prevention Partnership, referred to by its members as TCOPP, was born. It met for the first time in May 2016.

The partnership quickly identified people in the community who wanted to fight the epidemic, including law enforcement agencies, members of the criminal jus-

BY THE NUMBERS According to the National Safety Council, the amount of opioids prescribed in the U.S. during 2015 was enough to medicate every American “around the clock for three weeks.” Nearly six in 10 Americans have leftover opiates at home, and 20 percent have shared those with another person.

Abuse reports 115 people in the United States die from opioid overdoses every day. Roughly 21 percent to 29 percent of patients prescribed opioids for chronic pain misuse them. About 80 percent of people who use heroin first misused prescription opioids.

According to the Colorado Office of Behavioral Health, 70 percent

tice system and community leaders, O’Dorisio said. The partnership, managed by TriCounty Health Department, today comprises more than 30 organizations and private citizens.

In 2017, the partnership drafted goals and a multipronged attack plan by creating workgroups to focus on six key areas: youth prevention, public aware-

ness, provider education, safe disposal, harm reduction and treatment.

TCOPP is among several organizations in Colorado leading the way to curb the opioid epidemic, said J. Scott Bainbridge, founder of Denver Back Pain Specialists and board member of the Colorado Pain Society.

Holding workshops, like ones that TCOPP offers to educate

providers on best prescribing practices, is important in the mission.

Holen believes the partnership has had a positive impact in the decrease of prescription-opioid overdose deaths and improved awareness of opioids’ addictiveness.

The number of prescription opioid-related deaths in Adams, Arapahoe and Douglas counties from 2012 through

2013 was 150. From 2014 through 2015 it was 206. From 2016 through 2017, the number dropped to 183.

Still, “the enormity of the problem is getting worse, not better,” Holen said, as some people move to street drugs, such as heroin, when they can no longer afford prescriptions.

“Now we’re seeing increases in heroin deaths and, with the introduction of fentanyl into the mix, we’re seeing increased uses of that,” he said.

Fentanyl is a synthetic, or man-made, opioid medication that’s classified by the Drug Enforcement Administration as having a high potential for abuse. It is 50 to 100 times more potent than morphine, according to the National Institute on Drug Abuse. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports the SEE MAP, P8

are grieving every place in America,” Holen said. “The only way it’s going to get resolved is through a collaborative effort.”

most recent cases of overdoses or deaths related to fentanyl involved illegally made versions of the drug.

Pharmaceutical fentanyl is typically used to control severe pain among people like cancer patients. The illicit version is often mixed with other substances like heroin or cocaine.

From 2012 through 2013, the three counties reported 44 heroin deaths.

Over the next two years that increased by 39 percent, and from 2016 to 2017 it increased again by 54 percent from 2014-2015 for a total of 94 heroin deaths in the two-year period.

Approximately 70 percent of Colorado’s heroin users say their drug use began with a prescription, according to the Colorado Office of Behavioral Health.

The partnership is collecting data so that it can accurately measure the effects of its efforts, O’Dorisio said. He hopes it continues to make relation-

‘It just gets different’ The maps Lindemann showed his commissioners three years ago are now filled with outdated data and links that don’t work — except for Celebrating Lost Loved Ones, which gained widespread attention when the National Safety Council began running it on its website in 2018.

Katherine van den Bogert, a program manager for survivor advocates, volunteers at the nonprofit National Safety Council, which works to reduce preventable deaths. She learned of the map through a former colleague and believed it would fit well with the organization’s campaigns about opioid education.

“We just thought it was a really nice way to raise awareness of the broad impact of the opioid epidemic,” she said. “It was just such a personal story, that (Lindemann) took as a personal mission.”

DA to examine claims of innocence for convicted

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Taking a proactive approach, the 18th Judicial District Attorney’s Office has launched a process to investigate “legitimate” claims that convicted individuals may be innocent, the office announced.

“If there has been a miscarriage of justice in this district, and someone’s liberty is at stake, I want to ensure there is a path to have their liberty restored,” District Attorney George Brauchler said in a news release Jan. 7.

Brauchler The Conviction Review Unit will consist of volunteers who once worked in the criminal justice system — former prosecutors, judges, law enforcement investigators and criminal defense attorneys — who will review claims of innocence submitted by those who have been convicted at trial in the judicial district.

The judicial district encompasses Arapahoe, Douglas, Elbert and Lincoln counties.

The claim submitted must be “credible evidence of innocence,” the release said — not a legal issue such as allegations of improper evidence collection or missteps in the court process, according to Vikki Migoya, spokeswoman for the DA’s office. Those issues would fall outside of the Conviction Review Unit process.

The new initiative wasn’t spurred by an existing case in the judicial district or by pressure from advocacy groups — it was purely Brauchler’s initiative, Migoya said.

“While we have no evidence that these cases exist in our jurisdiction, I know that the criminal justice system was created, and is run, by human beings,” Brauchler said in the release. “And like anything created and run by human beings, the criminal justice system is capable of making mistakes.”

If a case is accepted, the CRU will review trial and case materials and any new evidence, and a reinvestigation may be conducted, the release said. If the CRU finds a valid claim of innocence, the case will be presented to Brauchler. If he agrees with the recommendation, he’ll determine what action can and should be taken.

To the DA’s office’s knowledge, the only other similar initiative in the Denver area is the Conviction Integrity Unit started by DA Michael Dougherty in Boulder County last year, Migoya said.

“My goal as the elected district attorney and the mission of my office is to seek justice,” Brauchler said.

The CRU “is one more way I can serve the constituents who elected me to uphold and prosecute the law to the best of my abilities.”

More details about the CRU process — and the applications to serve as a volunteer or apply for a case review — are on the DA’s website at www. da18.org/conviction-review-unit.

‘There’s only so long that I can hold out’ As the U.S. government shutdown continues, Federal Center workers yearn to get back to work

What they’re saying

BY JOSEPH RIOS JRIOS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Jake Slyder was planning on taking his wife on a hot springs vacation to celebrate their two-year anniversary — but the U.S. government partial shutdown forced him to cancel those plans.

Slyder is one of the more than 50,000 federal workers in Colorado who has been out of work since the U.S. government partial shutdown took effect Dec. 22. As he waits to return to his job — he didn’t want to say exactly what he does — Slyder picked up a job driving for the transportation service Lyft.

“The biggest thing is the psychological effects — the uncertainty and anxiety,” said Slyder, a Wheat Ridge resident. Slyder is a contract geospatial imaging specialist for the Bureau of Land Management.

He declined to say which company he works for, because he wanted to speak as an individual about his own experience. “We have some money tucked away. But how long

No RV dump site planned in Castle Rock’s near future Resident interest in opening local facility resurfaced last year, staff say

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Castle Rock residents hauling an RV back from their mountain trip or family vacation today have the closest access to an RV dump site in Chatfield State Park, and it appears that won’t be changing in the near future.

people hear what people in our situation are going through.”

The U.S. government went into a partial shutdown when President Donald Trump requested more than $5 billion from Congress to be added to federal spending legislation to pay for a wall on the Mexico border.

The previous federal spending legislation expired Dec. 21, and when Democrats strongly opposed funding Trump’s wall, he refused to step down from his request — leading to

Marlowe told the town council in December that interest in opening a local RV dump site —where the rigs dispose of waste into the sewer system so it can be safely treated — resurfaced in 2018.

Still, a community survey suggested that interest was not widespread enough to justify the cost of building and operating one, Marlowe said.

The nearest RV dump to Castle Rock is located in Chatfield State Park.

Castle Rock used to have a dump of its own, but it was not a controlled site and the town closed it in 2016 amid security and safety concerns.

Marlowe said unmanned sites can

be used by people hauling other, potentially dangerous, materials besides sewer waste. Most are private operations or run by parks, not public works departments, he said.

The town completed designs for a new dump in 2015 and solicited bids, which ranged from $243,000 to $442,000.

A survey conducted on social media last year garnered 424 respondents. About two-thirds of respondents expressed interest in a local dump but fewer than half were willing to pay an annual fee of $60 to support it.

Staff estimated they’d need 800 to

900 customers paying $60 a year to earn back a town investment in a dump within five years, and that was if the town selected the lowest bid of $243,000.

Councilmember George Teal, who said his neighbors were among those interested in a local dump, explained a “small group of folks” made an “impassioned request” for a Castle Rock site but as of yet the level of need didn’t justify the cost.

“I think you’ve done a good job expressing (that) the survey you did, did not lead to substantial interest,” Teal told Marlowe. “Certainly not enough to proceed.”

the shutdown.

For Tom Sabel, an agricultural statistician at the Federal Center in Lakewood, this isn’t his first rodeo dealing with a government shutdown. The Federal Center is a 623-acre campus that is home to 28 different federal agencies spread across 44 office buildings.

In his 32 years with the government, this is his fourth time dealing with a shutdown as a federal employee. Sabel said he’s called Sen. Cory Gardner multiple times each day since the shutdown started, and he recently visited Congressman Ed Perlmutter’s office.

“I love my job, it’s never a problem

for me to go in,” said Sabel, a Lakewood resident. “I was dedicated to the cause — and this is what I get.”

Sabel is married and has an 89-year-old mother he assists financially.

“I’m tired of being a pawn in these guys’ games,” he said.

Gy Moody is a contractor for the Bureau of Land Management, and he has been out of work since the shutdown’s first day. All of his coworkers love what they do, he said, and they don’t deserve to be out of work.

“I’m trying to figure out how to make $500 stretch another two weeks. The chaos of not knowing

what’s going to happen is the hardest part,” said Moody, who lives in Wheat Ridge. “I’ve probably put five miles in just pacing back and forth.

Everyone I know just wants to go back to work. We just want our lives back.”

Trump recently stated that he is prepared to continue the partial government shutdown for “months, or even years.”

“Any federal worker I talk to — they’re all invested in their jobs,” Sabel said. “Who is running this country, man? We didn’t elect Rush Limbaugh. I’ve never seen anything like it, and I never thought I would see anything like this.”

VOICES

A handwritten letter can speak volumes

nce a week, I go fishing.

I throw a few lines out, and I never know what I am going to catch.

I received an extraordinary, handwritten, four-page letter (with enclosures) from a reader named Janet who lives in Franktown.

This column is in its seventh year. I have received hundreds of emails, and a few letters, but nothing like Janet’s letter.

She reminded me that she had written to me once before, last

winter. She called it a “fan letter.”

I’ve mentioned before that I’m from Michigan, and it turns out she is from Michigan too.

“I grew up in the most geographically dull part of the state, in the center of the mitten, in the small town of Alma.”

I looked it up. The population was less than 10,000 in 2010, and it’s just a little over six square miles.

Janet is familiar with Lake Superior State University in Sault

Ste. Marie, and Lake Superior State University’s annual list of banished words. She referred to the column I wrote last year about some of the banished words and expressions that are still being overused.

“Transparency” for one.

The 2019 list is out and it includes “POTUS,” “FLOTUS,” and “SCOTUS,” and one that is long overdue.

“Legally drunk.” Think about it.

I sent Janet a letter and

PARTISAN WRANGLING MATCH

thanked her, and told her that her letter reminded me of Ruth Todd (1909-2006), a dear friend whom I visited on Sunday mornings for eight years.

I fixed breakfast for us and then we spent a couple of hours in her living room. Invariably she reminisced, and she had a lot to reminisce about, including dates with big band leader Eddie Duchin, and encounters with Buckminster Fuller and Carl Sandburg.

Early accelerated success leads to continued success

A

job begun is a job half done” — what a great quote, or proverb. I also like the one where it reads, “A job WINNING well begun is WORDS worth two half done.”

What I am getting at here is that as I have studied successful people, one of the most common denominators Michael Norton is that they simply begin.

Procrastination is a killer of success, but taking the first steps toward any project, task, initiative or business is the killer of procrastination.

Before we dive into early acceleration of success, meeting with success, maintaining success, and continued growth and success, let’s first look at a couple of examples from the world of selling or new hires.

You see, new sales people, not just “new to sales” sales people, but any sales person moving from one company to another will be measured on their contributions and successes.

The longer it takes for them to find and sell a customer, the more likely it is that they will be looking for success elsewhere.

Now the mistake here isn’t always on the new sales person, as a matter of fact, the mistake largely falls upon the company that hired them and that did not provide an adequate onboarding or training program to increase their chances of accelerated success.

This is a shame, because it costs a company so much money to recruit, interview and hire a sales person or any position within the company for that matter.

Early accelerated success must be owned by both parties. Training, knowledge transfer and internal mentoring go a long way to ensuring a proper onboarding for any new hire, increasing the likelihood of success tremendously.

Another terrific quote is, “Success begets success.” And this is true. So if we can take step one, have a job that is begun and half done, we will meet with success.

There is no doubt.

And that level of success is up to us, isn’t it?

I mean, we can place some of the responsibility of our success on our company, but if they do the proper training and coaching and onboarding, then the onus is upon us and our work ethic and behaviors. That is where we will meet with success.

Now that we have had early and accelerated success, we have met with success, how do we maintain it? This is the easy one. We must simply do the behaviors that we did in order to achieve the level of success that we have achieved. Too often people who meet with success stop doing the very activities and behaviors that got them there in the first place. They change their attitude and work ethic and attempt to coast. And that is a recipe for disaster.

Lastly, how do we continue to grow once we have met with success and have established a solid and proven track record of success? This is where continuous improvement and learning comes in.

Regardless of our age, we are never too young or too old to learn

KUMMER FROM PAGE 12

Every financial plan should cover the key risks for any goal, but especially retirement, since it is the most expensive and longest lasting goal you will likely have. These perils include market volatility, health care costs, inflation and outliving your money. You should also consider that early retirement can cause you to spend more on travel, home improvements or doing things you never had time for while you were working.

These large-ticket items also come with an inflation factor that is usually higher than the Consumer Price Index. This is important since investment returns and Social Security all mimic economic growth and inflation. Therefore, your income may not be keeping up with your expenses.

Late retirement can also be very expensive, not only due to health care costs, but just the inability to do your own home maintenance. When you hire labor, be prepared for sticker shock.

Mid-retirement is usually the least expensive, when you are not traveling as much but are still healthy. Unfortunately, this middle stage is what most retirement projections are based on, when the more expensive tails are typically what breaks a retirement plan. Imagine if one of these tails occurs during a recession or market correction.

The most important tail is the first phase of retirement, or the red zone.

This is planning and deciding when to retire, determining how much you need to live on and what your assets and resources are to last your lifetime. The decisions you make in this phase are most crucial since you still have 30-40 years of life to fund along with many unknown factors that

something new. And again, it’s as simple as taking that next step.

Picking up the next book, going to the next seminar, subscribing to a podcast about the topic or activity you are trying to learn more about.

Search out and find the right coach or mentor.

Success is a process, not an event.

Success is a journey and not a final destination. Consistent with procrastination being a killer of success, time is also our friend and our enemy when it comes to success. Similar to procrastination, but different enough to call it out. Procrastination means we are intentionally putting something off, something we control. Time keeps on ticking, whether we want it to or not.

So how about you? I would love to hear your success story at GoToNorton@gmail.com, and when we can remember that early and accelerated success can lead to long-term and continued success, it really will be a better than good week.

Without fail, Ruth handwrote a thank-you note or letter every week.

She expressed herself beautifully.

However, her lettering was very tiny, as if it had written by Tinkerbell, whom she might have been.

She was a very petite woman — a trace — with a squeak for a voice, the result of paralyzed vocal cords.

To go along with it, she was from North Carolina, so her squeak had a Southern accent.

Everyone is a story. That might sound like an exaggeration, but it’s true. Not everyone is an entertaining story, but there’s a narrative in everyone I see.

I met with my editor for our annual conversation over coffee. (Mine, black. His, polluted with cream and sugar.) He encouraged me to write more human-interest stories, and I am all for it.

I immediately thought of Janet, and her four-page letter.

I could tell by what she wrote and how she wrote it that she is thoughtful, intelligent, and that she has a sense of humor.

“I have only been to the University of Michigan campus once when I was invited to some kind of medschool, fraternity special weekend.

I was duly impressed with the historic, gorgeous campus — not my date.”

I made a couple of assumptions about Janet. One, about her age: she said she “grew up in the quiet 1950s.” For another, she prefers the intimacy of a handwritten letter to the expediency of an email.

It shouldn’t surprise me but it does: the reach of what I write sometimes, and eyes, like Janet’s, that follow along.

could derail any plan.

This is one of the main reasons it is important to plan prior to retirement. Learn how Social Security and Medicare work, and if you will need income from your portfolio. If you have no choice but to take income from your portfolio, and you have negative returns, you are experiencing negative compounding.

The number one detriment we see in retirement planning is the inability to determine what your expenses will be. This is one of the crucial parts of planning for your “red zone.”

The number two detriment we see is being too conservative too early. This chokes off potential growth that is needed for decades of inflation and unknown variables. Make certain you are designing your retirement strategy with all of these factors in mind.

Then you can look forward to the “red zone,” and on Super Bowl Sunday, the end zone!

Word is, state is seeking premier poet

Hit the

P

Passes Chris Linsmayer, public affairs director for Colorado Ski Country USA, a nonprofit trade organization representing 23 ski and snowboard resorts, said the key to saving money for a day of skiing or riding is planning.

“The earlier you are purchasing tickets or purchasing rentals or purchasing lodging, the more money you’re going to save,” Linsmayer said. “It’s about knowing what you want to do.”

But what about those Friday afternoon impulses to get some powder, or a sudden blizzard that promises a couple inches of the fresh stuff ?

Finding day passes under $100 can be tricky, especially is you’re looking at some of the larger juggernaut resorts. Colorado Ski Country USA has a list on its website, ColoradoSki.com, of some of the lesser-known spots in the state that are good for a solid day of skiing — fittingly listed under the tab “Gems.”

Liftopia.com is a good source to find discounted tickets for up to 50 percent off day passes. Local shops like King Soopers, Christy Sports and Colorado Ski and Golf can offer discounts on day passes as well.

oetry is one of mankind’s most important and diverse mediums. Poetry can be found in many of the most influential religious and historic works of civilizations the world over, and it has a power to entertain and enlighten.

Poetry has been such a vital art form since time immemorial that Colorado became one of the first states to have an official poet laureate since Gov. Oliver Shoup appointed Alice Polk Hill in 1919. Since Hill, there have been seven state COMING laureates, ATTRACTIONS poet including the current one, Joseph Hutchison. And soon there will be an eighth.

Nominations for the position are open for submissions through Feb. 1. One poet will be selected by Clarke Reader Gov. Jared Polis to serve a four-year term beginning in July 2019.

“We seek a poet who can inspire others to create and share their work while sharing his or her own work with Colorado communities,” said Josephine Jones, director of Programs and Center for the Book with Colorado Humanities. “The poet laureate promotes an appreciation of poetry in Colorado and to honor outstanding Colorado poets.

The poet laureate serves as an active advocate for poetry, literacy, and literature by participating in readings and other events.”

According to information provided by the Colorado Humanities, which works with Colorado Creative Industries and literary leaders to provide suitable applicants to the governor, the selection of poet laureate is based on “artistic excellence, which includes publications by reputable poetry journals and presses, and a demonstrated history of community service in the advancement of poetry, as well as the ability to present poetry effectively” through public events.

While poetry might seem like just another feature of the arts scene, Hutchison sees it as bigger than that.

“Poetry is the language of freedom: free thinking, free feeling, free imagination. It reaches beyond `the arts scene’ and (ideally) enters the individual lives of readers,” he said.

Knowing how to save money can take some sting out of skiing

BY NICK PUCKETT NPUCKETT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

V

ail and Beaver Creek resorts recently announced their day passes jumped to $209 per day at the door, a new all-time high, serving as a reminder that a day on the slopes is anything but cheap.

Frequent skiers and riders can curb the steep day pass prices by purchasing season-long passes through Epic or Ikon. Those passes provide unlimited access to a number of big resorts, but are only available at the beginning or early in the season.

For the casual skier, taking a day trip up to the mountains can get expensive fast. There’s the day pass, with face values of anywhere from $150 to $200, along with rentals, gear, food and transportation. But a day on the slopes doesn’t have to break the bank.

For keen ski shoppers, September is the time to buy. It’s typically the point in the year when season passes are at their cheapest and a slew of sales on gear and clothing

are underway across the metro area, including Ski Rex at Epic Mountain Gear stores and the Powder Daze Sale in various Christy Sports stores across the Front Range. But there are still ways you can save on skiing, even midway through the season.

January is “learn to ski and ride month” at most resorts, and deals can be found for beginning skiers.

Finding a lessons package may be the best option for getting the most bang for your buck. Some resorts offer a package of a lift ticket, rentals and gear and instruction for cheaper than what each would cost separately.

Knowing where to go can help you get the most out of your ski day.

Brittany Smith, with the Colorado Mountain Club, a nonprofit organization that educates people on outdoor recreation, said pre-planning is the best way to save money.

But also finding some less-crowded resorts can end up saving you a lot of money.

“Ski resorts almost penalize you for your sponetaity,” Smith said.

“They’re making you pay the most if you come last minute, but they give you a break if you pre-plan.

Pre-plan at least a week ahead of time, if not more.

“Your ski day is about what you make it to be, and I think that’s important.”

‘Natura Obscura’ offers journey to dream forest Englewood museum gallery becomes magical landscape

BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Immersive art experiences are happening across the nation these days and we are fortunate to have an absolutely delightful art-surround experience, “Natura Obscura,” awaiting us at the Museum of Outdoor Arts in Englewood.

Opened on Jan. 11, this magic forest will surround visitors through April 28 with 25,000 square feet of surreal surroundings. Enter equipped with a special flashlight, found at the entry. It reveals secret messages in the paths, as well as glowing trees, shrubs, grasses and flowering plants, surround rocks, stumps, and pathways that are home to numerous charming little creatures the visitor must seek out. Many have interactive capacities and will glow when the flashlight finds them.

Visitors are urged to go to the app store on their phone and download the “Natura Obscura” app — or there may be loaner devices at the entrance with the flashlights. More secret messages await!

About 42 artists have been involved, according to Tim Vacca of MOA, in growing this astonishing forest from the floor of the MOA gallery. The

IF YOU GO “Natura Obscura” is open through April 28 at Museum of Outdoor Arts, on the second floor of the Englewood Civic Center, 1000 Englewood Parkway. Hours: 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Tuesdays, Wednesdays; 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Thursdays; 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. Fridays, Saturdays; 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sundays. Tickets cost $10 to $20, are timed and will be honored until one hour before closing time.

Tickets cost $10 to $20, based on day of the week and time of visit. There is a $5 saving per ticket if purchased in advance online at naturaobscura.org. Free SCFD days will be on the first Tuesday of February, March and April. collaboration began early last year in conversations about nature between MOA staff and Prismajic’s Jennifer Mosquera and Eric Jaenike, resulting in a 400-square-foot model that eventually entered artistic brains and flowed out through fingertips.

Students in MOA’s great summer internship program, “Design and Build,” worked with master artist Mosquera through the summer, expanding on the initial vision she had developed with MOA. (All materials had to be readily available at Lowe’s, etc.)

Other local artists were commissioned to create parts of the scene, such as “Simulacra Vision” by Nicole Banowetz and Chris Bagley.

Trees, shrubs and vines grew, owls and other birds took wing and a series

of inflatable creatures crept into the scene. Strange sounds were recorded and added life to the imaginary forest, and theatrical lighting added its magic as opening date grew near. (Remember to shine that little flashlight over the underbrush — here again the detailed touches are everywhere.) The light will also unearth messages for the visitor at the edges of walkways Stroll through the entrance and move slowly, looking for special messages and pint-sized forest critters.

Pause to sit on a pair of huge tree stumps as a video tale unfolds on a screen — and watch for the yeti mentioned at the entrance. A benevolentlooking owl flies in and out in a grove where a large swing awaits. Look for pictures of small creatures in grasses and on small stumps — they may be ready to interact and deliver a message via your activated device!

Continue through curtains into an-

other scene and sound … and a story about owls.

Adventurers will want to visit the Sound Gallery at the back to enjoy a surround vision, set to music: “From Canyon to Cosmos: A Monk’s Dream.”

Also in a rear gallery: “Synthetic Nature,” by three Design and Build alumni. (Push down on those tubes.)

We’re told a pair of artists were still finishing up at 5 a.m. on the day when “Natura Obscura” opened to the press for a preview later in the morning.

The attention to detail throughout is exceptional.

Difficult to describe accurately, but I’d urge readers to take time out to enjoy this bit of fantasy while it’s here. (Not really appropriate for young children, as some items appear fragile and running and jumping activities are out. It’s more of a tiptoe environment and calming for the adult who once loved fairy tales!)

Plant lecture starts 2019 right for area gardeners Denver Botanic Gardens top curator has traveled world gathering specimens

An early painting of Major Stephen Harriman Long, who led an Army expedition up the South Platte River. Botanists in his company collected a number of plant specimens which were Panayoti Kelaides’ subject in a talk for the Littleton Garden Club on Jan. 2.

BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Littleton Garden Club’s members and guests filled the new meeting room at First Presbyterian Church of Littleton as they started out their year with an illustrated lecture from internationally recognized plantsman Panayoti Kelaidis, senior curator and director of outreach for Denver Botanic Gardens. In addition to developing the Rock Alpine Garden at DBG, he has traveled the world identifying and collecting plants through a long and distinguished career.

We grow nursery plants developed from some of his finds in our Colorado gardens today, through the Plant Select varieties available at some nurseries — and listed and pictured online … Kelaidis started Plant Select, in cooperation with Colorado State University’s plant scientists.

“The art of gardening in Colorado is the art of having an awareness of what you’re doing — don’t drown, don’t scorch,” he reminded us. As he spoke, he’d pull back to talk about how to grow a particular historic plant in our home gardens. Perhaps it’s one that requires shade …

To take us to another place and time, he first showed a slide of the amazing Cliff Palace at Mesa Verde: “The greatest monument to pre-Columbian times,” he noted, adding that “we have neglected the native people.”

In his spin on Irving Stone’s famous history of Western explorers, he named his talk “Botanists to Match Our Mountains,” reminding us of how many peaks were named for botanists: James, Gray, Torrey, Parry, Engelmann.

His particular topic on Jan. 2 was

plants discovered by Maj. Stephen Long’s Expedition in 1819/20, which started in Pittsburgh, crossed the plains and followed the South Platte River out of Nebraska and south to Pikes Peak and beyond to the Arkansas River’s starting place, passing near to Littleton.

(For perspective, the Lewis and Clark expedition was 1804-1806, soon after the Louisiana Purchase opened up endless curiosity about “what in the world did we buy to the west? — and does it have any value?”) Other explorations followed.

The Long expedition was ordered

by John C. Calhoun, secretary of war. Assorted notes from the expedition were collected by Edwin James, botanist and geologist for the expedition. He compiled all the notes and drawings on terrain, plants, animals, native people, maps and more, publishing two volumes and an atlas in 1823 in Philadelphia: “Account of an Expedition from Pittsburgh to the Rocky Mountains, Performed in the Years 1819 and 1820” was the title and a reproduction is available. (Long was sufficiently impressed with this man to name James Peak after him.)

Plains “The Great American Desert,” scientists discouraged — for a time — the great numbers of settlers who eventually ventured west.

Kelaidis shared a photograph of great American botanist Joseph Dalton Hooker (1817-1911) camped on La Veta Pass.

But he returned to further consider the very able James, who was a doctor, an environmentalist, an anthropologist, a linguist, an explorer, a farmer … “He started talking about what our relationship with our environment should be. He cared about the Indians early on and spoke against Andrew Jackson’s treatment of them …”

Kelaidis, in addition to bringing a scholar’s knowledge about the historical expedition, had a number of slides of the actual plants collected in 1820,

There are hundreds of specimens, some of which would seem to be related to Asian plants, according to botanist Hooker, mentioned above.

The speaker told of particular day when a group of botanists just focused on seeking new plants on Pikes Peak and scored a great many new ones on that day.

“Butterfly weed,” named by Torrey on this expedition, is found everywhere in the West. Torrey also named the common lupine. Pursch, a German botanist took samples of it back east with him.

Oenetera coraopfolia, the crownleafed evening primrose, was found by Torrey and Gray near Littleton. Eregonum has 40 subspecies and grows from 4 inches to 4 feet tall. (“There is one in Plant Select,” Kelaidis noted happily.) Discoveries could go on…

Gardeners might want to refresh their acquaintance with the Plant Select collection — there is a book, there are brochures and a complete online listing, which will lead one to nurseries that stock them, in-house or online.

SKIING FROM PAGE 14

Gear/renting The best deals on gear can be found late in the summer at various mega sales like Ski-Rex or Powder Daze near the end of summer.

Brianna Lee, social media and reputation manager with Christy Sports, recommends finding shops that are willing to sell demo gear at a discount once it’s been lightly used for a couple seasons. In that case, Lee said, you just have to ask around.

For infrequent or inexperienced skiers, Linsmayer recommends buying your own boots, which makes it easier to try out different types of skis or boards.

When it comes to renting, Lee agrees booking early is the way to go. And where you rent can also make a huge different in your budget.

“Even renting at a Christy Sports in Denver versus in the mountains will save a few bucks,” Lee said.

“Generally, renting in resort areas — even if it’s not from the resort — will be more expensive.”

For kids Encouraging kids to ski is huge for the industry, Lee said, so there

January 17, 2019J are tons of ways to save on kids’ tickets.

Christy Sports offers a Kids Bundle of season rentals and a season pass with some resort partners, and kids under 12 get free rentals with a four-day adult ski rental.

Several areas offer free skiing for kids as well, when accompanied by an adult pass. Colorado Ski Country offers a Fifth Grade Passport program, which provides three days of skiing at 22 ski areas — 66 days of total skiing or riding — for free. There is also a sixth-grade program that is $125 for four days of skiing. Both program registration deadlines are the end of January.

Transportation Interstate 70 is famous for its miles-long bumper-to-bumper traffic during ski season. Sitting through traffic can be the most dreadful part of a ski day, one that wastes time and money. Smith recommends seeking out mountains off I-70, or ones closer to the Front Range, to avoid this problem.

“Finding places that are not on I-70 can be saving in itself,” Smith said.

Smith recommended visiting goI70.com for information on traffic and transit options for people who don’t want to drive themselves.

Cancer death rate continues long decline Quarter-century pattern not uniformly good, as economic gap worsens

BY MIKE STOBBE ASSOCIATED PRESS

The U.S. cancer death rate has hit a milestone: It’s been falling for at least 25 years, according to a new report.

Lower smoking rates are translating into fewer deaths. Advances in early detection and treatment also are having a positive impact, experts say.

But it’s not all good news. Obesityrelated cancer deaths are rising, and prostate cancer deaths are no longer dropping, said Rebecca Siegel, lead author of the American Cancer Society report published Jan. 8.

Cancer also remains the nation’s No. 2 killer. The society predicts there will be more than 1.7 million new cancer cases, and more than 600,000 cancer deaths, in the U.S. this year.

A breakdown of what the report says: Decline in death rate There’s been a lot of bad news recently regarding U.S. death rates.

In 2017, increases were seen in fatalities from seven of the 10 leading causes of death, according to recently released government data.

But cancer has been something of a bright spot.

The nation’s cancer death rate was increasing until the early 1990s.

It has been dropping since, falling 27 percent between 1991 and 2016, the Cancer Society reported.

Lung cancer is the main reason. Among cancers, it has long killed the most people, especially men. But the lung cancer death rate dropped by nearly 50 percent among men since 1991. It was a delayed effect from a decline in smoking that began in the 1960s, Siegel said.

Mixed news on prostate cancer The report has some mixed news about prostate cancer, the second leading cause of cancer death in men.

The prostate cancer death rate fell by half over two decades, but experts have been wondering whether the trend changed after a 2011 deci-

sion by the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force to stop recommending routine testing of men using the PSA blood test. That decision was prompted by concerns the test was leading to overdiagnosis and overtreatment.

The prostate cancer death rate flattened from 2013 to 2016. So while the PSA testing may have surfaced cases that didn’t actually need treatment, it may also have prevented some cancer deaths, the report suggests.

Obesity is dangerous marker Of the most common types of cancer in the U.S., all the ones with increasing death rates are linked to obesity, including cancers of the thyroid, pancreas and uterus.

Another is liver cancer. Liver cancer deaths have been increasing since the 1970s, and initially most of the increase was tied to hepatitis C infections spread among people who abuse drugs. But now obesity accounts for a third of liver cancer deaths, and is more of a factor than hepatitis, Siegel said.

The nation’s growing obesity epidemic was first identified as a problem in the 1990s. It can take decades to see how a risk factor influences cancer rates, “so we may just be seeing the tip of the iceberg in terms of the effect of the obesity epidemic on cancer,” Siegel said.

Economic disparity widens There’s been a decline in the historic racial gap in cancer death rates, but an economic gap is growing — especially when it comes to deaths that could be prevented by early screening and treatment, better eating and less smoking.

In the early 1970s, colon cancer death rates in the poorest counties were 20 percent lower than those in affluent counties; now they’re 35 percent higher. Cervical cancer deaths are twice as high for women in poor counties now, compared with women in affluent counties.

And lung and liver cancer death rates are 40 percent higher for men in poor counties.

Dr. Darrell Gray, deputy director of Ohio State University’s Center for Cancer Health Equity, called the findings “important but not surprising.”

“We’ve known for some time that race is a surrogate” for other factors, like poverty and difficulty getting to — or paying for — doctor’s appointments, he said.

Joan Sjostrom’s life of service recognized Rotary Club of Castle Rock honors its first female member, former president STAFF REPORT

Twenty-five years after serving as president of the Rotary Club of Castle Rock, Joan Sjostrom was honored for her life of service to her community.

Rotary Club of Castle Rock honored Sjostrom Jan. 2, presenting her with a plaque and a Rotary Paul Harris pin recognizing her contributions to the Rotary International Foundation.

One area of focus for Sjostrom is raising funds for service projects, and she is consistently a top seller of Rotary peaches and tickets to the annual Ducky Derby, according to a news release from Rotary Club of Castle Rock.

Sjostrom joined the club in 1989, shortly after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that Rotary International could no longer prohibit women from joining. Not only was she the first woman to join the club, she was likely one of the first women in the country to become a Rotarian and serve as president of a local club, the release said.

Sjostrom, who grew up in Denver, moved to Douglas County in 1968 with her husband and four children and

service in Douglas County and Castle Rock, the release said.

Sjostrom helped found a Castle Rock branch of Beta Sigma Phi in 1970, a leading service group in the area at the time, and served as its president in 1973. She also was a founding member of the Castle Rock Historical Society, served on its board for several years, and volunteered at the Castle Rock Historical Museum for more than 13 years.

Her interest in history expanded to the Douglas County Library branch in Castle Rock, where she volunteered in the local history department for more than 10 years.

In the 1970s, the closest Lutheran church was more than 20 miles away, so the Sjostroms joined a few other families to start a mission congregation, and Sjostrom’s steadfast support helped make Faith Lutheran Church in Castle Rock a reality, the release said.

When no emergency medical services were available within 25 miles of Castle Rock, Sjostrom and a few other residents volunteered so the Swedish Emergency Medical Center in Castle Rock could be available to local residents.

Recognizing the growing need in the area for those at risk of homelessness or similar crises, Sjostrom was an early supporter of the Douglas/Elbert Task Force, now the Hope & Help Center. She served on the board from Senior program is for all adults interested in joining. Contact Mike Spray, Unit Commander, at majmike74@aol.com.

1987 to 2010. She is the center’s longest serving volunteer and still volunteers there every week.

She is also part of the foundation of the strong educational system in Douglas County. She volunteered at local schools for many years, beginning in 1968 when she supported the Douglas County school choirs in the annual Starlighting event in Castle Rock. Sjostrom was instrumental in guiding the district during the early years. During her 10 years serving on the Douglas County Board of Education, school enrollment nearly doubled and several new schools were built.

In 2005 Sjostrom was awarded the Minoru Yasui Volunteer award for community service. In recognition of her service, John Hickenlooper, mayor of Denver at the time, declared July 28, 2005, Joan Sjostrom Day in Denver.

Sjostrom attended Colorado State University, worked as a bookkeeper for nearly 20 years, and was an owner and manager of a travel agency in Castle Rock for 12 years.

The club members, and others who attended the meeting, gave Sjostrom a standing ovation and thanked her for her 50 years of community service.

After receiving the award, Sjostrom thanked the crowd.

“I appreciate every person here,” Sjostrom said. “I don’t know if I deserve it, but thank you for the honor.

Gala sends adults with cancer to camp Hearts and Hope Gala will be held Feb. 9

BY SHANNA FORTIER SFORTIER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Hazel Senz will be fighting lung cancer the rest of her life.

But she said the bond she has made with other cancer patients gives her hope.

Senz, 58, was diagnosed with Stage 4 lung cancer in March 2014. As a neversmoker and marathon runner, lung cancer came as a “huge blow.”

Three months after her diagnosis, Senz, a Golden resident, found Epic Experience — an Arvada-based nonprofit outdoor adventure camp for adult cancer survivors.

“When I went to camp it was really difficult for me to even say the words, `I have cancer,’” Senz recalled. “When everyone else is in the same boat, it makes you feel much more comfortable to talk about it.”

Senz said no topics were off-limits and an immediate bond was formed no matter the type of cancer.

“It was the first time I could connect with other people who had cancer,” Senz said. “Other people who walked the walk and had journeys that could never image, but they were smiling and they were OK. So, I thought this cancer doesn’t have to define me. I’m going to be OK.”

Hazel Senz will be recognized as the Giver Award recipient for her volunteer efforts with Epic Experience.

IF YOU GO WHAT: Hearts & Hope Gala benefiting Epic Experience WHEN: 5:30 p.m. Feb. 9 WHERE: Four Seasons Hotel, 1111 14th St., Denver TICKETS: Available online at donate.epicexperience.org/heartandhope2019 Epic Experience was founded in 2012 by Arvada resident Nancy Ferro after her oldest son, Michael, was diagnosed first with a benign brain tumor in 2007 and six months later with testicular cancer just as he was graduating from Regis University.

Ferro said the depression she saw in her son led to the creation of the camp programs.

Epic Experiences now holds about six to eight camps a year at a ranch three hours west of Denver for people 18 and older who have had a cancer diagnosis at any point in their lives.

In the summer, campers raft and kayak on the Colorado River, and in the winter snow shoeing and crosscountry skiing are the main activities. Campers come from all over the country to attend the free camp.

After Senz’s camp experience, she wanted to help other people have the same experience, so she started volunteering. As a retired nurse, Senz lends her expertise to the medical team.

COURTESY PHOTO

She also helps with applications, calls campers and is involved in the organizations annual fundraising event, the Hearts and Hope Gala.

“The annual Hearts and Hope Gala is more than just a time to come together and celebrate with friends, it’s a time to remember the Epic Experience campers we have lost and to raise money to reach more adult cancer thrivers to live beyond cancer,” Nancy Ferro said.

This year’s gala will be held Feb. 9 at the Four Seasons Hotel in Denver. The event raises fund to allow campers to attend camp free of charge.

At the event, Senz will be recognized as the Giver Award Recipient for her volunteer efforts. Jamie Bachman, executive director of oncology services at UCHealth Cancer Center in Aurora will also be recognized with the Hero Award.

“I’m such a true believer in Epic Experience because there aren’t a whole lot of camps out there for adults of all ages,” Senz said. “I think that lends itself to connecting with people in their 20s all the way to their 70s. It doesn’t matter how old you are you always have something to share and something to gain.”

‘I’m looking forward to what’s ahead’

Running back has been quite a catch

M

Elle Bevis, senior forward at Legend High School, leads the 9-1 Titans in points (12.8 points per game).

NICK PUCKETT

Elle Bevis’ all-around play has sparked Legend to hot start

BY NICK PUCKETT NPUCKETT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

E

lle Bevis and her Legend High School teammates understand the value of working together as a team. To Bevis, their off-court chemistry is the key to the team’s success.

As the Legend girls basketball team gears up for league play and a daunting gauntlet of talented teams, Bevis, a senior, believes her team is capable of matching up against anyone, so long as they stay true to who they are.

“We just need to make sure that as long as we do what we’re good at, the rest will take care of itself,” Bevis said. “When you’re good off the court, it helps on the court because when you get on each other and stuff, you know it’s for the best.”

Bevis, at 5 feet 10 inches, leads the Titans on the court with 12.8 points and nearly three steals per game. Though Bevis is described by her coach as an all-around offensive player, Bevis prefers defense — the Titans’ biggest strength.

COACH’S TAKE: ‘Everybody loves Elle. She’s a great teammate... She’s really a very dynamic offensive player.

She has tremendous range — she can shoot up to 25 feet...

She has a lot of versatility on offense. She’s doing a great job on the defensive side, and her rebounding has really improved.’

John Angelo, Legend High School girls basketball head coach

Q&A with Bevis How’s the season going?

We’re off to a good start.

We’re 9-1 right now, which is better than we’ve ever done in our program. I think the chemistry is really good with the girls off the court. That helps when you’re playing.

How would you describe yourself as a player?

I want to win. So making sure to be a selfless player, too. Making sure the team as a whole does well, and I like defense. I like to get the ball back.

How do you prepare for games?

I chew a piece of Hubba Bubba (bubblegum). And then I have the same playlist of songs. It’s just five songs, and I just listen to them over and over again. It’s become a superstitious thing.

Do you have a favorite class?

I think my favorite classes

are psychology and criminal ustice. Those both really interest me because they’re different from math and social studies.

Do you have any memorable moments to look back on in your senior season?

Whenever we went to the Parker Task Force and then we did a Secret Santa afterward as a program.

A lot of times, “C” teams versus varsity, they’re not very close with each other. I think our team, we do stuff like that and it helps. We get to know each other — the freshmen and the seniors.

Are you excited to move on?

Yeah, I’m excited. It’s bittersweet. I’m going to miss my friends and stuff and playing here. There’s bigger and better things to come. I think the unknown is a cool thing. I’m looking forward to what’s ahead.

Have a suggestion for whom to feature in Student-Athlete Spotlight?

Key stats | Elle Bevis averages a team-leading 12.8 points per game, as well as 4.7 rebounds and 2.9 steals per game through 10 games, as of Jan. 10.

ax Borghi played a lot of football for Washington State University during the 2018 season, and he was only a freshman.

Borghi was a standout at Pomona and had all the tools to OVERTIME make an impact in a Division I program but many times it takes a while for young players to adapt to college life and football.

He is often compared to for- Jim Benton mer Valor Christian and Stanford star Christian McCaffrey, who now plays for the Carolina Panthers.

Borghi and McCaffrey used to talk and workout together but Borghi passed on offers from Stanford and Colorado to attend Washington State.

“Overall as far as my performance, I had a decent season but nowhere near where I want to be,” said Borghi. “It was a good, fun season, for sure. I still have a ton of work to do. The season allowed me to see where I need to work on things more.”

Borghi, a 5-foot-10, 190-pound running back, was the team’s second leading rusher with 366 yards and eight touchdowns on 72 carries. He caught 53 passes for 374 yards and four TDs. Probably the correct position to list Borghi as playing would be all-purpose back, since running backs in coach Mike Leach’s Air Raid offense have to play a different role.

Leach talked about what is expected from a running back in the Washington State offense following a 31-7 win over CU on Nov. 10 in a game that saw Borghi score on a 28-yard scoring reception.

“You have to rush, catch and block,” Leach told reporters. “Not just one of the three. You have to do all three.”

That was a change which Borghi took as a challenge.

“This offense is a little bit different for a running back,” he said. “I think I adjusted well.

Catching to the ball in open space is pretty nice and making the defender miss.

“The offense is pretty cool, it’s pretty fun to make the defender miss and just get going.”

Borghi continued: “You don’t have to take the beating of rushing the ball through the line every play. It seems like the NFL is starting to have running backs catch the ball a lot more, so that’s setting me up for success in the future.”

Borghi was looking toward the future when he graduated early from Pomona and enrolled at Washington State for the spring semester. He participated in spring football practice with the varsity.

“Mid junior year I decided I was going to do it (enroll early) and had to take double credits to be able to graduate early,” explained Borghi. “It was difficult but well worth it.

“It helped a ton. College itself is hard to adjust to and it helped me a lot in the school aspect to get used to all that so I didn’t have to do it during the season.

Valor Christian • Evan Pahos had a three-goal hat trick while Colby Browne scored twice and had two assists as the hockey team notched an easy 9-1 win over Pueblo County on Jan. 8. Browne was credited with the game-winning goal in the team’s 5-3 victory over Chaparral on Jan. 11. Power play goals by Browne and Cole Cavey during a three-goal first period helped the team down Cherry Creek 4-2 on Jan. 12. Cavey scored twice in the game.

As far as football, there was a lot of seven-on-seven, working on my speed and stuff and in the weight room working to get strong to get ready for the season. It contributed to the season I had, learning the offense and all that.”

There were more than 20 seniors from Colorado high schools who signed letters of intent to play football next season at Division I schools during the Dec. 19-21 early signing period.

Borghi had some simple advice for those players, probably something that has been preached to them many times before.

“Just keep your head down and work,” advised Borghi. “Work hard and stay humble. Nothing improves yourself more than just working hard.

That’s what it takes. You are not going to make it unless you work hard.”

The public is invited to share input on these topics and more during the next stop on the partnership’s listening tour, from 5-7 p.m. Jan. 24 at the Philip S. Miller Building, 100 Third St. in Castle Rock.

During the listening tour, which kicked off in December 2018, the public has provided input on topics such as the creation of a public shooting range at the Ramah State Wildlife Area in northeastern El Paso County.

During the remainder of the tour, the partnership will continue to host public meetings to engage sportsman groups, neighbors, outdoor enthusiasts and others in discussions that direct the growth of the sport.

Language Program: Teaches English to recently arrived refugees, who have fled war or persecution in their home country. In Colorado, refugees are from Afghanistan, Burma, Bhutan, Somalia, Iraq, Eritrea and D.R. Congo, among others.

Need: Volunteers to teach English. Tutoring takes place in the student’s home. Refugees live throughout Denver, but the largest concentrations are in Thornton, near 88th Avenue and Washington Street, and in east Denver/Aurora, near Colfax Avenue and Yosemite Street.

Other Details: Tutors do not need to speak the student’s language. Most participants are homebound women and small children, adults who are disabled, and senior citizens.

Many are not literate in their first language, and remain isolated from American culture.

Requirements: Volunteers must attend training at Emily Griffith Technical College in downtown Denver. Sessions take place every 6-8 weeks. Go to www.refugee-esl.org for information and volunteer application.

Misc. for Rent

January 14, 2019

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Taking some time out of your usually busy social life could be just what you need to help you focus on putting those finishing touches on your plans for a possible career change.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) A misunderstanding about a colleague’s suggestions could create a delay in moving on with your proposal. But by week’s end, all the confusing points should finally be cleared up.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) You might feel overwhelmed by all the tasks you suddenly have to take care of.

But just say the magic word — help! — and you’ll soon find others rushing to offer much-needed assistance.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Finishing a current project ahead of schedule leaves you free to deal with other upcoming situations, including a possible workplace change, as well as a demanding personal matter.

LEO (July 23 to August 22) Turn that fine-tuned feline sensitivity radar up to high to help uncover any facts that could influence a decision you might be preparing to make. Devote the weekend to family activities.

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) A state of confusion is soon cleared up with explanations from the responsible parties. Don’t waste time chastising anyone. Instead, move forward with your plans.

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) You might feel obligated to help work out a dispute between family members. But this is one of those times when you should step aside and let them work out their problems on their own.

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Your ability to resolve an on-the-job problem without leaving too many ruffled feathers earns you kudos from co-workers. You also impress major decision-makers at your workplace.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Newly made and longheld friendships merge well, with possibly one exception. Take time to listen to the dissenter’s explanations. You could learn something important.

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Be prepared to be flexible about your current travel plans.

Although you don’t have to take them, at least consider suggestions from the experts in the travel business.

AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) A problem with a recent financial transaction could lead to more problems later on unless you resolve it immediately. Get all the proof you need to support your position.

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Daydreaming makes it difficult to stay focused on what you need to do. But reality sets in by midweek, and you manage to get everything done in time for a relaxing weekend.

BORN THIS WEEK: Your ability to reach out to those in need of spiritual comfort makes you a much-revered, much-loved person in your community.

CLAIM FOR FINDING OF REASONABLE DILIGENCE 5. Claim for Finding of Reasonable Diligence. The Denver Municipal Water System is an integrated system for the development, collection, treatment and distributions of water to the Denver Metropolitan area. The Denver Municipal Water System is comprised of various features of which Chatfield Reservoir and the subject water rights are integral features of this system. A. The following is a list of work performed during the diligence period at Chatfield Reservoir: i. As part of the Chatfield Reservoir Reallocation Project, the Army Corps of Engineers determined Chatfield Reservoir can increase the water supply pool up to elevation 5,444’ to accommodate an additional 20,600 acre-feet of water storage for water supply without compromising the flood control operations. The additional storage space, referred to as the Reallocation Pool, will be used by project participants to meet their diverse water demands. Currently, approximately 3,300 acre-feet of the Reallocation Pool remain unsubscribed, and are often referred to as the “orphan shares.” Denver Water is in discussions with the Colorado Water Conservation Board, the state agency responsible for managing the Reallocation Project, regarding possible acquisition of the orphan shares and options for sharing the orphan shares with other Reallocation Project participants. ii. The Army Corps of Engineers granted Denver Water an easement for a pipeline right-of-way at Chatfield Reservoir, three removable water intake pumps in the Reservoir (“Chatfield Temporary Pump Station”), an electrical line powering the pumps, and other related facilities. The easement was granted for a 25-year term, starting December 1, 2002 and ending November 30, 2027. In anticipation of the expiration of the easement, Denver Water is working collaboratively with other Reallocation Project participants to discuss options for installing a Joint-Use Pump Station that would add flexibility to the system and enable project participants to pump their stored water out of Chatfield Reservoir. The Joint-Use Pump Station would help Denver Water access more of its water stored in Chatfield Reservoir at lower elevations. The Joint-Use Pump Station is currently in the concept phase. In October 2018, Denver Water and the South Metro Water Supply Authority signed an inter-governmental agreement approving funding for a study to evaluate opportunities for joint use of a pump station location below Chatfield Reservoir. The overall approach to the study includes identifying existing and planned future water facilities owned by project participants in the area of Chatfield Reservoir, describe the degree to which these facilities might be available for use by other project participants in a collaborative fashion, and develop a suite of potential infrastructure sharing concepts that have the opportunity to provide benefits to project participants as well as have potential benefits to regional stakeholder that are not project participants.

uate opportunities for joint use of a pump station location below Chatfield Reservoir. The overall approach to the study includes identifying existing and planned future water facilities owned by project participants in the area of Chatfield Reservoir, describe the degree to which these facilities might be available for use by other project participants in a collaborative fashion, and develop a suite of potential infrastructure sharing concepts that have the opportunity to provide benefits to project participants as well as have potential benefits to regional stakeholder that are not project participants.

Denver Water is contributing $50,000 out of $258,644 for the completion of the study. iii. In 2015, Denver Water participated in the negotiations and drafting of the Chatfield Reservoir Management Agreement. This Agreement was required under the 1979 Agreement that delegated management responsibility over any reallocation to Denver Water. iv. In 2015, Denver Water participated in the negotiations and drafting of the Emergency Drought Agreement with the State of Colorado. This Agreement defined the parameters for Denver Water’s use of water below elevation 5423’ in the event of a severe and prolonged drought. B. The following is a list of work performed during the diligence period that would further the application of water to beneficial use: i. In December 1996, the Board, along with other Front Range water providers, submitted to the Pike/San Isabel National Forest a concept for a locally managed protection plan on the South Platte and North Fork Rivers as an alternative to federal designation under the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act. The concept was accepted as the preferred alternative and a more detailed version of the plan was submitted in 1998, called the South Platte Protection Plan (SPPP).

The SPPP was amended again in 2003 along with a resolution by Denver Water endorsing the creation of a one-million dollar endowment fund.

A major component of the SPPP was the establishment of this fund, which is being used for projects that enhance and preserve the South Platte River corridor from Eleven Mile Cañon Reservoir to the confluence of the North Fork of the South Platte River, and the North Fork of the South Platte River from Insmont to its confluence with the South Platte River. The USFS released its Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) in January 2004. The Record of Decision (ROD) was released by the US Forest Service (USFS) in June 2004 and determined the SPPP to be the preferred alternative. Following this finding, the Enhancement Board was put in place and the endowment fund manager was selected. The Enhancement Board meets monthly to identify issues on the South Platte River related to the SPPP and to consider grant requests. The $1 million endowment is fully funded and a number of grants have been given out for stream, recreational and cultural improvements along the river corridor. Specifically related to Eleven Mile Cañon Reservoir, in 2012 the Coalition for the Upper South Platte were awarded a grant for The Road to Rivers project.

This project studied sedimentation problems along Eleven Mile Cañon Road. Denver Water holds an SPPP Annual Operations meeting and follows it up with the Denver Water Planning Task Force meeting to discuss any other water supply efforts that Denver Water is involved in. ii. In 2013, Denver Water was granted a Source Water Assessment and Protection (SWAP) Pilot Project Grant from the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment's (CDPHE) Water Quality Control Division (WQCD). During the assessment phase, the grant will be used to evaluate the vulnerability of the Upper South Platte River and its tributaries to contaminants from both point sources and nonpoint sources.

During the protection phase, the grant will be used to collaborate with local governments, communities, stakeholders, and other utilities to develop and implement protection strategies aimed at reducing water quality degradation.

The Coalition for the Upper South Platte (CUSP) will help facilitate the stakeholder process and creation of the Source Water Protection Plan (SWPP). iii. The health of Colorado’s forests and watersheds has a strong influence on Denver Water’s municipal water supplies. Denver Water and the USFS signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) in 2010 to work together to improve forest and watershed health by reducing the risk of wildfires. This partnership provides leadership for watershed health and sustainability and serves as a model for the emerging Colorado Watershed Protection Initiative. Under the MOU, the USFS and Denver Water agreed to develop and update annually a Five-Year Operating Plan that identifies joint projects in Denver Water’s priority watersheds for the years 2011-2015. The Operating Plan calls for Denver Water to spend $16.5 million, and for USFS to match that expenditure with $16.5 million of additional forestry work. Since execution of the contract, the USFS has performed hazardous fuel reduction treatments on tens of thousand acres of National Forest lands within Denver Water's priority watersheds. The forestry work was conducted in the Strontia Springs Zone of Concern in the Upper South Platte Watershed. Denver Water's total expenditures under the MOU, including the fifth Collection Agreement, was $14,849,186. As a result of the lower than expected project costs, $1,650,000 remained available for additional work. These funds were provided directly to the Colorado State Forest Service (CSFS) through a separate agreement discussed below. A new Five-Year Partnership program was implemented in 2017. The program was initiated by a MOU and will add the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) and the CSFS as a partner to emphasize the importance of watershed and forest health on private lands. Under the proposed 2017-2021 program, Denver Water would invest $16.5 million in forest and watershed health, which would be matched at least dollar for dollar by USFS, CSFS, and NRCS for a total value of the partnership of $33 million.

The goal of the program is to treat approximately 40,000 acres within critical watersheds identified as “Zones of Concern” and to maintain the 48,000 acres previously treated. iv. Denver Water and the CSFS have had a long, mutually beneficial relationship for the purpose of promoting healthy forests in watersheds above Denver Water’s collection facilities. Some of the joint projects the two agencies have undertaken include: development and implementation of a vegetation recovery, restoration and management program for Cheesman Reservoir properties following the Hayman fire; long-term management of selected properties near Granby

ately 40,000 acres within critical watersheds identified as “Zones of Concern” and to maintain the 48,000 acres previously treated. iv. Denver Water and the CSFS have had a long, mutually beneficial relationship for the purpose of promoting healthy forests in watersheds above Denver Water’s collection facilities. Some of the joint projects the two agencies have undertaken include: development and implementation of a vegetation recovery, restoration and management program for Cheesman Reservoir properties following the Hayman fire; long-term management of selected properties near Granby and Winter Park; extensive forestry assistance and wildfire mitigation at the Trumbull/Deckers demonstration sites; and forestry management on Denver Water lands in Jefferson and Douglas counties along the North Fork of the South Platte and the main stem of the South Platte Rivers. The CSFS continues management efforts to address the mountain pine beetle problem in Grand and Summit counties, thereby reducing fire danger in Denver Water’s watersheds. Denver Water has extended this partnership with the CSFS to include additional implementation and restoration activities, as well as preparation of vegetation and fuels management plans for site-specific areas. The partnership continues to support the Upper South Platte Watershed Protection and Restoration Project.

Denver Water and the CSFS provide leadership for the Upper South Platte’s watershed health and sustainability. These efforts are particularly important in light of the threats to Denver’s watersheds resulting from catastrophic wildfires such as the 1996 Buffalo Creek and 2002 Hayman fires. In 2010 Denver Water contracted with the CSFS for $1,552,315 over a five-year contract period (2010-2014) which includes CSFS personnel and operational costs, as well as direct support for project implementation. This contract, known as the Forest and Land Management Services Agreement with CSFS, was extended through 2018. In March 2018, Denver Water renewed the Forest and Land Management Service Agreement with CSFS to manage Denver Water lands through 2022 for $911,106.

Of the 2.5 million acres tributary to Denver Water's water collection system, over 1 million acres are non-federally owned. In 2014 an agreement with the CSFS was signed to use the $1.65 million not spent under the USFS MOU discussed above over five years (2014 to 2019) to conduct hazardous fuel treatments and monitoring of those projects on non-federal lands within Denver Water's Zones of Concern. The release of Denver Water's funds will be contingent upon a 1:1 match with funds available from other entities such as federal, state, and local governments, and nonprofit, private, and corporate entities. It is anticipated that as much as $2,317,000 of other grant funds may be available to match Denver Water’s funds. Therefore, a total of $3,967,000 would be contributed towards reducing catastrophic fire risk on 2,150 acres on non-federal lands in Denver Water's Zones of Concern. v. Denver Water continues to participate with the State of Colorado and a coalition of water users and water interests in the South Platte River basin to implement the Platte River Recovery Implementation Program (Program). Originally, this coalition of water users and water interests were meeting under the Colorado Water Congress special project named the "Platte River Project." Late in 2005, the Platte River Project was dissolved and a new independent 501c(3) non-profit organization named the "South Platte Water Related Activities Program, Inc." (SPWRAP) was initiated to provide support and a mechanism for funding future financial obligations to the Program. On January 1, 2007, the Program was initiated and began its first increment proposed to last 13 years. Denver Water and SPWRAP continued to contribute substantial efforts toward the implementation of the Program that will provide critical reproductive and migration habitat for three threatened and endangered bird species in central Nebraska and the Pallid Sturgeon in the lower Platte River. Denver Water and SPWRAP continue to work closely with the U.S. Department of Interior, the states of Colorado, Wyoming and Nebraska, as well as other interests in Nebraska and Wyoming and the environmental community on this Program. The purpose of developing the Program is, in addition to creating reproductive and migrating habitat for threatened and endangered species, to provide reasonable and prudent alternatives to avoid the likelihood of jeopardy to federally listed species.

Additionally, the Program provides a mechanism to mitigate adverse environmental consequences so that water projects in the Platte River basin, subject to Section 7 Consultation under the Endangered Species Act (ESA), including water stored in Chatfield Reservoir, can continue to operate and receive federal permits, licenses, funding, or other approvals in compliance with the ESA. During the diligence period, Denver Water spent approximately $2,391,000 on this project. C. The following is a list of additional work performed during the diligence period in pursuit of its development of other features or projects in Denver Water’s South Platte River collection system: i. In 2003, Denver Water initiated an Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) permitting process for the Moffat Collection System Project to address water reliability and system vulnerability problems, and to provide the next increment of firm yield. Denver Water’s preferred alternative project would enlarge Gross Reservoir by a total of 77,000 af, for a total storage capacity of 118,811 af and would provide Denver Water approximately 18,000 af of new water supply. The preparation of the EIS for the Corps was divided into five phases. Phase I involved introduction of Denver Water's Moffat Collection System Project water reliability and system vulnerability problem, and project alternatives to address that problem to local, state, and federal agencies, as well as the general public, by the publication of a Notice of Intent to prepare an EIS in the Federal Register. In 2003, Phase II was completed with the purpose of screening preliminary alternatives, preparing documentation, and developing a scope of work for Phase III. Phases III and IV of the project were initiated in 2005. Phase III consisted of conducting reconnaissance-level studies to identify the EIS alternatives. Phase IV incorporated short and long-term impacts of direct and indirect effects of each alternative identified in Phase III. In 2007, the Alternatives Screening Report for the Moffat Collection System Project EIS was published. This report outlines the screening process used to narrow down the list of alternatives from over 300 to 5 alternatives. In

screening preliminary alternatives, preparing documentation, and developing a scope of work for Phase III. Phases III and IV of the project were initiated in 2005. Phase III consisted of conducting reconnaissance-level studies to identify the EIS alternatives. Phase IV incorporated short and long-term impacts of direct and indirect effects of each alternative identified in Phase III. In 2007, the Alternatives Screening Report for the Moffat Collection System Project EIS was published. This report outlines the screening process used to narrow down the list of alternatives from over 300 to 5 alternatives. In 2008, the Preliminary Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) for the Moffat Collection System Project was published for review by the cooperating agencies and Denver Water. This report described the environmental impacts of the Moffat Collection System Project. In 2009, Denver Water submitted an application for a section 404 permit to the Corps and a DEIS was released for public review. Concurrent with the release of the DEIS, Denver Water released a Draft FERC Hydropower License Amendment Application for public review. Both of these documents were released on October 30, 2009, for an initial 90-day review period which was extended by 48 days (total review time was 138 days). The Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) from the Corps was released April 25, 2014. On July 7, 2017 the Corps issued its Record of Decision (ROD) and a draft 404 Permit for the Moffat Project. Denver Water accepted the permit and a final version in August 2017. ii. Further, Denver Water efforts during the diligence period were focused on the completion of the Downstream Reservoir Water Storage Program (DRWSP). During the diligence period Denver Water spent over $30,000,000 on this project. D. During the diligence period, the following work was completed on Denver Water’s treated water system which would treat and distribute water collected in Chatfield Reservoir: i. Removed cement mortar lining from Conduit 20 aerial crossings in Waterton Canyon with polyurethane lining. ii. Completed modifications of Chatfield Pump Station which included replacement of the main electrical service, replacement of obsolete variable frequency drives, deteriorated HVAC equipment, installation of new pump and HVAC controls, electrical system modifications, electrical systems analysis, and a new meter vault. iii. Completed renovations at Highlands Pump Station which included renovations to surge protectors, HVAC systems, cathodic protection systems and electrical systems. iv. Initiated replacement of two 15 million gallon tanks at Hillcrest Pump Station with three 15 million gallon tanks. v. Completed cathodic protection repairs at Lone Tree pump station. vi.

Installed impressed current cathodic protection systems at Foothills Water Treatment Plant (WTP). vii. Installed a pump station to recover and reuse the water from the underdrains of the drying beds at Foothills WTP. viii. Upgraded the Marston Treatment Plant electrical equipment. ix. Replaced the flocculation and sedimentation equipment at Marston WTP. x. Replaced sludge collection equipment at Marston WTP. xi. Installed a new disinfection system at Marston WTP. xii. Completed construction on a new multilevel outlet works, dam and drain improvements at Marston Reservoir. E. Denver Water over the past diligence period has spent approximately $43,800,000 on improvements to its raw water collection system and treated water distribution system including improvements that would further the application of water under the subject water right to beneficial use. i. Specifically, during the diligence period, the following work was completed on the Roberts Tunnel which delivers Colorado River water to the South Platte River: 1. Black & Veatch completed the East Portal outlet works control house modifications. 2. Surveyed and staked for a new generator facility at the Roberts Tunnel caretaker’s facility. 3. Initiated a study to replace the existing runner and add a second hydro generating unit at the Roberts Tunnel Hydro Facility.

4. Completed repairs at the auxiliary steel penstock at the East Portal of the Roberts Tunnel.

5. Denver Water hired Lithos Engineering to conduct a detailed inspection of the Roberts Tunnel as defined in the inspection manual. A report was completed on the condition of the tunnel. 6. Denver Water entered into a new power wheeling agreement with Intermountain Rural Electric Association to transmit power generated at the Roberts Tunnel until March 31, 2027. CLAIM TO MAKE WATER RIGHTS ABSOLUTE 6. Chatfield Reservoir Water Storage Right. Denver Water claims an additional 16,921 acre-feet absolute for the Chatfield Reservoir Water Storage Right for a total of 27,076 acrefeet absolute. During municipal water year 1994 (April 1, 1993 through March 31, 1994), 27,076 acre-feet was stored in-priority, including 26,951 acre-feet of carryover storage from municipal water year 1993. The stored water will be beneficially used for all municipal uses including domestic use, mechanical use, manufacturing use, generation of electric power, power generally, fire protection, use of sewage treatment, street sprinkling, watering of parks, lawns and grounds, recreation, fish culture, for the maintenance and preservation of wildlife and aesthetic values and for the replacement, adjustment and regulation of the units of the Denver Municipal Water system within themselves and with other water users. Daily data from Denver Water’s raw water accounting sheets was reviewed to verify the volume claimed absolute. Specifically, call data, authorized inflow data, and authorized storage data provided on the Chatfield Reservoir Operations Accounting sheets was used to calculate the volume of water annually stored in-priority under the Chatfield Reservoir Water Storage Right in addition to carryover storage. Supporting evidence is attached as Exhibit B. 7. Description of place of use where water stored will be placed is applied to beneficial use. Denver Water provides water to over 1.4 million people in the Denver Metropolitan Area.

The water was stored for all municipal uses in areas served by the Denver Municipal Water System. 8. Remarks. Denver Water is claiming the cumulative amount of 27,076 acre-feet stored shall be made absolute for all decreed purposes to the extent of the volume of the appropriation that has been captured, possessed, and controlled at the decreed storage structure.

18CW3207 Timothy and Karen Howard, 8600 Elliott Drive, Franktown, CO 80116 (James Petrock, Petrock Fendel Poznanovic, P.C., 700 17th Street, #1800, Denver, CO 80202), APPLICATION FOR PLAN FOR AUGMENTATION, DOUGLAS COUNTY. Decree information: Decreed in Case No. 03CW015, on December 31, 2003. Applicants are the owners of 41.2 acres of land which is the subject of the decree, generally located in the NE1/4 of Section 13, T10S, R66W, Douglas County, Colorado, as described and shown on Attachment A hereto (Subject Property). Applicants are the owners of the groundwater decreed in Case No. 03CW015, underlying the Subject Property, as evidenced by the deed attached as Attachment B, including 24.4 acre-feet per year of not nontributary Upper Dawson aquifer groundwater.

Groundwater to be augmented: 15 acre-feet per year of not nontributary Upper Dawson aquifer groundwater decreed in Case No. 03CW015 described above. Water rights to be used for augmentation: Return flows from the use of not nontributary Upper Dawson aquifer water and return flows and direct discharge of nontributary groundwater underlying the Subject Property as also decreed in Case No. 03CW015 and owned

by Applicants. Statement of plan for augmentation: The Upper Dawson aquifer groundwater will be used for in-house use in up to three residences, agricultural irrigation, including lawn, garden, trees, hay and pasture, fire protection, stockwatering, storage, and replacement purposes, on the Subject Property, including through an existing well if required (Permit No. 231295). Applicants reserve the right to revise the annual amount to be withdrawn and proposed uses without having to amend or republish this application. Sewage treatment for in house use will be provided by non-evaporative septic systems. Return flows associated with inhouse use will be approximately 90% of that use and return flow from irrigation use will be approximately 15% of that use. During pumping Applicants will replace actual depletions to the affected stream system pursuant to Section 3790-137(9)(c.5), C.R.S., and Applicants estimate that actual depletion occurs to the Cherry Creek stream system. Return flows from in-house and irrigation use will accrue to the South Platte River system via Cherry Creek and those return flows are sufficient to replace actual depletions while the subject groundwater is being pumped.

If return flows are not sufficient to replace actual depletions in any year of pumping, the required amount of replacement will be diverted directly into Cherry Creek from the Upper Dawson aquifer wells. An equal amount of nontributary groundwater as decreed in Case No. 03CW015 will be reserved to meet post-pumping augmentation requirements. Further, Applicants pray that this Court grant the application and for such other relief as seems proper in the premises. (9 pages).

Detailed outline of what has been done toward completion or for completion of the appropriation and application of water to beneficial use as conditionally decreed, including expenditures: The subject conditional water rights and associated structures and source are part of the unified water supply system for Highlands Ranch. Highlands Ranch is a development consisting of approximately 22,000 acres in Douglas County, including the community of Highlands Ranch. Centennial is responsible for providing a municipal water supply to Highlands Ranch.

During the diligence period, Centennial took the following actions toward completion of the subject conditional water rights and application of water to beneficial use as conditionally decreed: A. Centennial was the principal operator of the Fairview Ditch and Reservoir facilities and spent approximately $12,103 on operations and maintenance expenses including, inter alia, diversion of water, cleaning the ditch, and reporting to the State Engineer. Centennial also participated with the partners concerning the operations of the Fairview Ditch and Reservoir facilities to develop new operational procedures. B. Centennial continued to engage in efforts to obtain the reallocation of storage space in Chatfield Reservoir from flood control to multipurpose use, including municipal storage (“Chatfield Reallocation Project” or “Project”), and to secure a permanent right to store water in Chatfield Reservoir, including water available from the subject water right. The Chatfield Reallocation Project Final Integrated Feasibility Report and Environmental Impact Statement was issued in July 2013. The State of Colorado Fish and Wildlife Mitigation plan for the Project was approved in January 2014. The Record of Decision affirming the Chatfield Reallocation Project as the preferred alternative and authorizing the reallocation of 20,600 acre feet of storage space in Chatfield Reservoir from flood control use to multipurpose use, including municipal storage, was issued on May 29, 2014. The Department of the Army and the Colorado Department of Natural Resources (“CDNR”) entered into a Water Storage Agreement for the Chatfield Reallocation Project on October 9, 2014. On October 16, 2015, Centennial entered into a Water Provider Agreement with CDNR for the permanent right to use 6,922 acre feet of reallocated storage space in Chatfield Reservoir. In connection with the Water Provider Agreement, Centennial deposited $4,502,657 in cash and $44,440,000 in Colorado Water Conservation Board loan proceeds, for a total of $48,942,657, into an escrow account to cover its pro rata share of estimated future payments to complete the mitigation obligations for the project. Centennial staff and consultants participated in all aspects of the process to obtain the required approvals for the Chatfield ReallocatioIf theyn Project, including the negotiation of the various agreements described above and the creation of the Chatfield Reservoir Mitigation Company, described in paragraph 4.C below. C. The Chatfield Reservoir Mitigation Company (“CRMC”) was formed

Centennial staff and consultants participated in all aspects of the process to obtain the required approvals for the Chatfield ReallocatioIf theyn Project, including the negotiation of the various agreements described above and the creation of the Chatfield Reservoir Mitigation Company, described in paragraph 4.C below. C. The Chatfield Reservoir Mitigation Company (“CRMC”) was formed

by Project participants on October 8, 2015, for the purpose of conducting such business as may be necessary to satisfy the mitigation obligations of the participants, as required for implementation of the approved Chatfield Reallocation Project. On October 15, 2015, Centennial entered into the Chatfield Reservoir Management Agreement with CDNR, the other project participants and the City and County of Denver, acting by and through its Board of Water Commissioners, which provides for various management and operational terms and conditions for use of the reallocated storage space authorized by the Project. Centennial is a member of the CRMC and has a seat on the Board of Directors of the company. On October 26, 2015, the CRMC entered into a contract with CDM Smith for management of the implementation of the Chatfield Reallocation Project and subsequently entered into eleven separate consultant contracts for project design, totaling $18,200,000.

Construction of features associated with completion of mitigation obligations for the Project began in October 2017. To date, Centennial has expended approximately $1,075,000 for consultant contracts and $26,187,000 for capital design and construction as its pro rata share of expenses incurred by the CRMC in connection with implementation of the Project. D. Centennial spent more than $37,000,000 on the continuing development of its municipal water system and water rights, including the development of facilities necessary to divert, store and use the subject conditional water rights. These expenditures include paying the costs associated with Centennial’s water treatment and wastewater treatment plants, water and wastewater pipelines, groundwater wells, raw water storage facilities, and miscellaneous water infrastructure.

E. Centennial continued to participate in the Chatfield Watershed Authority, formed under authority of the Denver Regional Council of Governments. The Authority has initiated water quality related studies and is developing land management plans to protect the quality of inflows to Chatfield Reservoir. Centennial’s participation is for the purpose of protecting the quality of water diverted to its municipal system at Chatfield Reservoir, including water that will be stored in the future under the subject Chatfield Reservoir conditional water storage right. F. Centennial continued to participate in the Coalition for the Upper South Platte, formerly known as the Upper South Platte Watershed Protection Association. Centennial is in the Members class of the association, with full voting rights and dues obligations. The association was formed in 1998 with the purpose of maintaining or improving water quality and related resources within the South Platte watershed above Strontia Springs dam. Strontia Springs dam is upstream of Chatfield Reservoir. Centennial’s participation in the association is for the purpose of protecting the quality of water diverted to Centennial’s municipal system at Chatfield Reservoir, including water that will be stored in the future under the subject Chatfield Reservoir conditional water storage right. G. Centennial participated in numerous water court cases to protect its water rights, including the subject conditional water rights, from injury and spent in excess of $3,000,000 in legal and engineering fees in such cases during the diligence period. 5. If claim to make absolute in whole or in part: Not applicable. 6.

contractual right to the delivery of 120 acre-feet per year of fully reusable water pursuant to the Water Delivery Contract for Delivery of Fully Reusable Water between Aurora and the Baja Ranch Co., dated November 20, 2009 (“Baja Water”). 4. Appropriation date: July 13, 1993 for the 95CW276 Exchanges. January 31, 2008 for the NGA No. 2 Exchange from Cherry Creek Reservoir that utilize one or more of the sources of substitute supply described in paragraph 3, above; except that any exchange of the Baja Water, described in paragraph 3.4.3 above, has an appropriation date of July 30, 2015. Exhibit B is an exchange matrix showing the appropriation dates for the Cottonwood Cherry Creek Exchanges. 5. Amount: The Cottonwood Cherry Creek Exchanges will operate at a maximum rate of 3.26 cfs. Cottonwood seeks a finding of reasonable diligence as to the conditional portion of the Cottonwood Cherry Creek Exchanges. 6. Uses: The water exchanged will be used for all municipal purposes, including domestic, agricultural, industrial, commercial, stockwatering, fire protection, recreation, fish and wildlife preservation and propagation, and all other beneficial purposes, including but not limited to recharge of Denver Basin aquifers, exchange purposes, replacement of depletions resulting from the use of water from other sources, relinquishment pursuant to C.R.S. §3790-137(9)(b), and all augmentation purposes.

The water diverted by substitution and exchange is fully consumable and may be used, reused, and successively used and completely disposed of to extinction by Cottonwood for the above-described purposes. 7. Detailed outline of activities and expenditures toward completion of the conditional appropriation: The Cottonwood Cherry Creek Exchanges are part of Cottonwood’s extensive integrated system to supply municipal water to its customers. “When a project or integrated system is comprised of several features, work on one feature of the project or system shall be considered in finding that reasonable diligence has been shown in the development of water rights for all features of the entire project or system.” C.R.S. § 37 92 301(4)(b). Consequently, all work and expenditures by Cottonwood in connection with its municipal water operations directly and indirectly constitute part of Cottonwood’s reasonable diligence in developing the Cottonwood Cherry Creek Exchanges to be used in its water system, which supplies its municipal water operations. The subject diligence period is December 2012 through December 2018 (“Diligence Period”). During the Diligence Period, Cottonwood engaged in the following activities and incurred the following costs in its efforts to develop, operate, and maintain its municipal water supply system and to complete the appropriation of the Cottonwood Cherry Creek Exchanges. 7.1 Cottonwood has incurred an average of $4.8 million per year in overall costs and expenses to maintain, operate, protect, and expand its municipal supply system. 7.2 Cottonwood’s wastewater is treated at the Lone Tree Creek Water Reuse Facility (“WRF”). Reusable return flows discharged at the WRF are a source of substitute supply for the Cottonwood Cherry Creek Exchanges. In May 2017, Cottonwood renewed its sewer service agreement with ACWWA and secured 1 MGD a year of wastewater treatment capacity on a perpetual basis. Additionally, Cottonwood constructed an additional 2,600 linear feet of an 18-inch effluent water line that will be used to discharge WRF effluent return flows at additional locations on Cherry Creek for reuse

by Cottonwood. 7.3 Cottonwood and Arapahoe County Water and Wastewater Authority (“ACWWA”) began operating the Joint Water Purification Plant (“JWPP”) in 2008; however, due to permitting and other issues the JWPP ceased operations in 2012. Cottonwood funded approximately $3 million in studies and pilot projects to identify effective and affordable treatment options to bring JWPP discharges into compliance with water quality discharge standards. Further, as of the summer of 2018, Cottonwood and ACWWA obtained all necessary permits necessary for operation of the JWPP. Currently, ACWWA and Cottonwood are constructing new treatment facilities and upgrades to the existing JWPP at a cost of $10.2 million, of which Cottonwood’s share is 60%. Cottonwood and ACWWA plan to bring the JWPP back into operation in May of 2019. The JWPP allows Cottonwood to maximize use of its decreed Cherry Creek tributary water rights, including the Cottonwood Cherry Creek Exchanges. 7.4 Cottonwood incurred approximately $670,000 in attorney fees and engineering costs for work in support of its municipal water supply system, including but not limited to the adjudication of Case No. 08CW28, which case included claims for new conditional ground water rights, amendments to the Cottonwood Cherry Creek Exchanges, modifications to Cottonwood’s previously decreed plans for augmentation, and several other claims. 7.5 Cottonwood is an active member of the Upper Cherry Creek Water Authority (“UCCWA”) and operates its tributary wells under the UCCWA plan for augmentation decreed in Case No. 01CW284, District Court, Water Division No. 1, State of Colorado. The Cottonwood Cherry Creek Exchanges are identified as a source of augmentation supply within the UCCWA plan for augmentation. Cottonwood contributes approximately $20,000 a year towards the operation of and accounting for the UCCWA plan for augmentation. 7.6 Cottonwood is also a member of the CCPWA. During the Diligence Period, the CCPWA obtained a decree in Case No. 10CW318, District Court, Water Division No. 1, State of Colorado dated August 24, 2015 that changed certain water rights, appropriated several conditional water rights, and approved a plan for augmentation, all of which will be used to provide water for augmentation and substitute supply use by CCPWA’s members, including Cottonwood. The 08CW28 Decree confirmed Cottonwood’s use of the CCPWA water supplies and identified reusable return flows derived from Cottonwood’s use of CCPWA water as a source of substitute supply for the Cottonwood Cherry Creek Exchanges. Further, CCPWA intends to construct Walker Reservoir in 2020 and is currently in the process of obtaining permits and completing the design, construction documents, and proceeding through the bidding process for the reservoir.

During the Diligence Period, Cottonwood spent a total of $990,000 on the development and operation of the CCPWA’s wells and facilities, planning activities, and towards the development and construction of the CCPWA’s Walker Reservoir. 7.7 During the Diligence Period, Cot-

usable return flows derived from Cottonwood’s use of CCPWA water as a source of substitute supply for the Cottonwood Cherry Creek Exchanges. Further, CCPWA intends to construct Walker Reservoir in 2020 and is currently in the process of obtaining permits and completing the design, construction documents, and proceeding through the bidding process for the reservoir.

During the Diligence Period, Cottonwood spent a total of $990,000 on the development and operation of the CCPWA’s wells and facilities, planning activities, and towards the development and construction of the CCPWA’s Walker Reservoir. 7.7 During the Diligence Period, Cottonwood has continued to obtain, develop, and operate additional water sources, including water available through the Water Infrastructure and Supply Efficiency system (“WISE”) and the Baja Water. The WISE water and the Baja Water are sources of substitute supply for the Cottonwood Cherry Creek Exchanges. Cottonwood spent approximately $3.1 million in capital costs associated with the WISE water during the Diligence Period and began receiving WISE water in 2017. Cottonwood obtained its ownership interest to the contractual right of delivery of the Baja Water during the Diligence Period. 8.
