BRETT MILLER

Castle Rock resident enjoys hometown history and hunting trips About me I’ve been in Castle Rock 17 years, and eight years ago my wife and I adopted a wonderful little daughter. We were at the hospital when she was born so we took her home from day one. This week I just got certified from the Colorado Department of Health for an in-home health care agency. It’s non-medical — anything that anyone needs in the home, like bathing, cooking, cleaning or medication reminders.

Why I work in home care I had several family members who had some traumatic things happen, anywhere from hip replacements to knee replacements to a family member actually had a stroke. I wound up helping them and spending a lot of time with them and I really, really enjoyed that.

There’s a lot of people out there who don’t have any family and also there are a lot of families who are working and cannot stay home and be there with

their loved ones who need help during the day. There’s a big need for assistance in the home, be it two hours at a time, four hours at a time or 24-hour care.

My hobbies I’m into a lot of outdoor stuff. Camping, hiking, fishing and I do a lot of hunting for elk, bear, deer and antelope.

I was raised around it. My dad was a hunter and so I just explored out a little bit farther into bear and antelope and just really enjoyed being outside. I travel throughout the state from down near Trinidad to Steamboat to 20 miles east of Kiowa.

A love for Castle Rock history I’ve been here 17 years and I’ve seen a lot of change in that time. And, in visiting with a lot of local residents who have been here longer than I have, you get to chatting about what buildings used to be this and that. For example, the Douglas County Library used to be Safeway. I really like Castle Rock and I’m proud of it. For some reason I enjoy the history of Castle Rock.

My advice Forgiveness is key.

Outlets’ summer concert series The Outlets at Castle Rock continues its summer concert series with two more shows in July and August. The Rock Your Summer Concert Series is a free trio of shows taking place on the last Friday of the month from June to August. On July 28, The Country Music Project will play from 6 to 8 p.m. The County Music Project is a seven-man cover band that plays throughout Colorado. On Aug. 25, The Midnight Club will play from 6 to 8 p.m. The band writes and performs music with a unique audio and visual aesthetic.

Bonfils urges donations Blood supplies across the United States are at dangerously low levels, following a sharp decline in donations leading up to and following the July 4 holiday. To rebuild supplies and prepare for unexpected events, Bonfils Blood Center is calling on the community to give blood through the remainder of the summer.

Individuals who weigh at least 110 pounds, are in general good health and are 18 years of age, or 16 and 17 with parental consent, may be eligible to donate.

Bonfils Blood Center strives to keep a four-day supply of every blood type on the shelf at all times to meet needs of patients at about 100 hospitals. Donations of all types are needed, but O-negative donors, the universal blood type, are especially important this time of year due to

Survey finds safety lauded; growth concerns residents Traffic congestion, road infrastructure also cited

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Douglas County is a safe place to live and work, residents are satisfied with county law enforcement and believe the county is headed in the right direction, according to survey results. But like most of the Front Range, respondents also said the county is growing too fast, and residents hope to see improvement in traffic mitigation and road infrastructure.

Residents weighed in as part of the 2017 community survey commissioned by the Douglas County Board of Commissioners. More than 850 registered voters responded to the survey conducted by Hill Research Consultants between May 30 and June 9.

“Our board is united in our belief that a quantifiable, representative sample of public opinion from our communities helps inform the board’s decision-making,” Roger Partridge, chairman of the board of commissioners, said in a written statement.

Of the respondents, 96 percent said they feel safe traveling around the county, a gratifying outcome, according to District 1 Commissioner David Weaver.

But 81 percent either somewhat agreed or strongly agreed that the county is growing too fast.

Residents were also asked where the county should spend money without being prompted with any examples or options — respondents most frequently named roads, bridges, traffic and congestion as a spending priority.

Just over 30 percent of responses fell into that category, while the next highest was schools and libraries with 14 percent.

“It seems clear from both the aided and the unaided questions regarding transportation spending, citizens from throughout Douglas County are united in their desire to see more investment of public money in roads,” District 3 Commissioner Lora Thomas said in a written statement.

Among the board’s specific spending priorities — economic foundations, health and human services, historic and natural resources, public safety and transportation — 51 percent of respondents chose historic and natural resources as the top spending priority.

Public safety and transportation tied for second.

When asked if the county spends tax dollars wisely, 10 percent of respondents agreed, 62 percent said they somewhat agree and 20 percent said the somewhat disagree.

Nearly 60 percent of residents said the county could keep property tax relief in the amount of $16 per household for county needs.

Town verifying signatures calling for elected Castle Rock mayor The petition, submitted July 10, also seeks to change town districts

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The Castle Rock Citizens for Elected Mayor on July 10 submitted to the town a petition to begin electing the town’s mayor by a vote of the people.

The mayor of Castle Rock is currently elected by the seven-member town council and does not have more authority than his or her fellow councilmembers. Changing the mayoral election process requires amending the town charter, which can be requested through the form of a petition but must ultimately be approved by voters.

The group began circulating its petition in April and — per state law — needed signatures from least 4,288 registered voters, or 10 percent of the electorate, to put a question on the November ballot.

The Castle Rock town clerk has until July 31 to verify the signatures. An unofficial count is not available, a town spokeswoman said, but Castle Rock Citizens for Elected Mayor reported gathering more than 5,300 signatures in a July 11 news release.

“The response from Castle Rock residents has been extremely positive,” Castle Rock Citizens for Elected Mayor Chairman Wayne Harlos said in the news release. “Residents are sending a strong message, they want to elect their mayor.”

In addition to having an at-large mayor system, the petition also calls to move from seven town districts to six.

The movement has been met with mixed reactions from town council and citizens alike. Mayor Jennifer Green and Mayor Pro Tem Renee Valentine have voiced their opposition, while Councilmember George Teal and former mayor Randy Reed are in support.

“It’s simply time,” Reed said in the group’s news release. “It’s time for Castle Rock to make this small change to our town charter so more residents can participate in our governement and our future.”

Castle Rock water responding to peak usage, dry temperatures New restrictions aim to save millions of gallons

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Castle Rock — known for its water-conservation efforts — is working to build on that reputation. The town intends to run on 75 percent renewable water by 2050.

That means using less groundwater and drawing more from sources such as snow, rain, creeks and rivers.

But as it works toward that goal, the town must also be prepared to act if those renewable sources waver, said Director of Utilities Mark Marlowe.

“We have to get even more use to responding to changes

in temperatures and weather,” Marlowe said.

That’s why Castle Rock recently implemented new water restrictions on homeowners associations and urged residents to amp up their conservation efforts. Prolonged dry, hot weather has left one of the town’s renewable sources, the East Plum Creek, at record lows.

The town has gathered data on the creek for 18 years, Marlowe said. The gauge on East Plum Creek nearest Castle Rock shows the area at its lowest level in that time frame.

The town also recorded water use at peak levels — although that is not uncommon during hot spells, Marlowe said.

Over the summer, Castle Rock typically sees an average use of 12.4 million gallons a day. This year, officials have

Consultants, said the methodology for acquiring a true sample of the county’s demographics has changed with

seen that average reach 16.5 million gallons. Peak demand is usually related to outdoor irrigation, Marlowe said, such as the watering of lawns and landscaping.

In response, the town is now requiring homeowners associations to follow a similar watering schedule that has been required of single-family homes since the 1980s. Public spaces like parks, common areas and medians can only be watered between 10 p.m. and 5 a.m. on Sundays, Wednesdays and Fridays.

Homeowners associations were also asked to cut back on issuing violations for distressed lawns and to encourage residents to reduce outdoor watering.

Marlowe said the efforts should save millions of gallons of water.

Additionally, residents and

the times. When he began conducting surveys in the 1980s, Hill said he could begin with a list of five voters and know that one would grant an interview.

“Then we started noticing as time went by that we would have to have 10 numbers to get one interview, and then

businesses can do their part by researching proper irrigation techniques, for which the town has a number of resources and classes.

And Marlowe has some advice at the ready.

First, he said, don’t let water run to the point it pools in gutters or streets. That’s an immediate indicator of overwatering.

“Why pay for it if you’re going to put it down the drain,” Marlowe said.

He also recommends people know when to water, in addition to how much. Residential water restrictions in place through August only allow watering between 8 p.m. and 8 a.m.

Karl Kaoch, district manager with the Founders Village Metropolitan District, who’s worked in that role for 31 years and spent a previous 10 years

15,” Hill said. “Now, depending on the state, time and circumstances, it might take as many as 50.”

Hill said this is in part for reasons such as people becoming less likely to answer unknown numbers, they don’t use their landlines phones or only have cell phones.

as utilities director for Breckenridge and Louiseville, said people should be mindful that they live in an arid climate.

“When it gets really, really hot like this, sometimes people start panic watering,” he said.

Kaoch explained residents needn’t worry if grass doesn’t stay perfectly green in dry times, as going temporarily dormant can actually help strengthen new root systems.

Conservation is most important, Kaoch said, expressing the district’s willingness to work with town staff under the new water restrictions.

For residents who want to learn more about proper irrigation and water conservation, the town offers numerous resources through the website crconserve.com. The town also runs classes for people to learn efficient watering and conservation techniques.

The survey is now conducted both over the phone and online. Data is combined and used to make sure the respondent pool matches an area’s demographics such as age, gender or party affiliation.

“The questions are the same, the results are merged together,” Hill said.

SCHOOL BOARD ELECTION

Q&A with Ryan Abresch Candidate for Douglas County Board of Education in District B

BY MIKE DIFERDINANDO MDIFERDINANDO@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Editor’s note: This is one in an ongoing series of Q&As with each of the candidates for the Douglas County School District Board of Education.

Ryan Abresch is a lawyer by training. He currently works as a legal analyst for national online legal research firm LexisNexis.

Abresch, of Larkspur, previously served as a deputy district attorney in the 10th Judicial District in Pueblo. He earned his undergraduate degree in political science from James Madison University in Virginia and his law degree from Valparaiso University in Indiana.

Abresch, 38, has been a resident of Douglas County since 2014 and said he and his family moved to the county from El Paso County in order to take advantage of the district’s schools for their daughter, who will be attending first grade in the fall.

As part of the four-person Elevate Douglas County slate, he will be running for the District B seat, which encompasses the Castle Rock, Sedalia and Larkspur areas.

The seat is currently held by James Geddes, who was elected in 2013. Geddes has not indicated if he will seek re-election.

The board has been divided in recent years.

How would you help bridge that divide?

The first, I think, is to listen. Whether it’s to the other board members that you may disagree with Abresch or to the community that comes out to these meetings or teachers. Listening is a big part of being an effective board member. I know the district has been making strides toward improving these processes, but there were significant issues under Liz Fagen’s leadership as superintendent in that regard. In addition, by trade I’m a lawyer, I worked inside the courtrooms for a number of years so I think I’m use to being in an adversarial environment, so I think having that experience will bring me the ability to keep a cool head and effectively lead despite all the disagreement.

Why did you decide to run?

We moved to Douglas County primarily for my daughter’s education. She has a lot of young cousins that go to school here as well, and I’m running because I want to make sure she, my nieces and nephews and every other student in the county can continue to have the best opportunity for a great education.

Would you be supportive of a bond or mill levy to bring more funding to the district?

I think before we can begin discussing that, any new board member needs to build trust with the community that elects them. I think the community needs to trust that all of us will be fiscally responsible with the funds that are already there. I think our budget is around $700 million and they want to make sure that money is actually going to the classrooms and paying all of our best teachers.

I also think, as a district, we need to exhaust all of the other options for efficiencies in the budget before we can go to the community and ask them to open up their wallets and give us any more of their hard earned money.

What are the most important issues facing the school district?

One of the major issues is acrimony and discussions around the school board. I think if you’re on the school board as a director, you need to carry yourself as a role model for the adults and students who are in this district. I want to bring respect back to our discussions with the teachers, parents, students and staff in Douglas County. I think also accreditation and teacher attention are major issues that we need to work together to find solutions on.

What do you want people to know about you?

I’m a hard-working father who lives here in Douglas County with my wife and our first-grade daughter. Having a daughter in the district, along with other nieces and nephews, I have quite a bit of skin in the game. The decisions that are going to be made by me as a board member are going to directly impact her. I also want to make sure the best educational opportunities are not only afforded to her, but all of the children who go to school in our district.

Q&A with Krista Holtzman Candidate for Douglas County Board of Education in District G

BY MIKE DIFERDINANDO MDIFERDINANDO@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Editor’s note: This is one in an ongoing series of Q&As with each of the candidates for the Douglas County School District Board of Education.

Krista Holtzman kicked off her campaign for Douglas County School Board with a barbecue in Parker’s Stonegate Park July 9.

Holtzman, 48, describes herself as a child advocate who has spent her life advocating for her own children and others.

She has an undergraduate degree in child development as well as a law degree from the University of Missouri.

Holtzman worked as an assistant state’s attorney and a child abuse prosecutor in Iowa before moving to Colorado 17 years ago.

Holtzman, a Parker resident, has worked parttime at the Rocky Mountain Children’s Law Center, which advocates legally for “Colorado’s abused, neglected and at-risk children.” She has also served as a preschool teacher in recent years.

She has two sons. Both attended Douglas County schools and now attend the University of Denver.

Holtzman will be running for the District G seat. District G is currently held by Board of Education President Meghann Silverthorn, who is term-limited and will not be running again. The district includes the areas in and around Parker.

Why did you decide to run?

When my kids went to college and it was time to move to my next step in life, it just seemed like a natural progression. I have put so much time into getting to know this district that

these are the kids I want to advocate for. I’ve advocated for a lot of different kids over the course of my career, but the 67,000 students in Holtzman Douglas County seem like they need an advocate and I would really like to be that person.

Hopefully the community will think that too. Ultimately this is a volunteer position, but for me, it will be full-time employment. I plan for this to be my full-time occupation.

What are the most important issues facing the school district?

We have a budget and capital needs crisis in this district and that has to be addressed.

I think we need to make sure we’re meeting the needs of very student. We’re all different and some of us have special needs that others don’t, and it’s our job as a district to make sure we’re meeting the needs of those kids. I think we can do better in that area. And in terms of teachers, I think we can also do better. We need to remember that research has consistently shown that the teachers are the most important factor in student achievement.

The board has been divided in recent years. How would you help bridge that divide?

I think the most important thing we can do is to always focus on how everything we do affects the students in the classroom. If we are all sitting at a table and we are focusing on the same ultimate goal, we’re going to have different ways of getting to that goal, but I just feel like we can do better. We can have a common goal and we can put that first.

Would you be supportive of a bond or mill levy to bring more funding to the district?

I would definitely support both. I have supported all of the others we have tried to get through, so this time will be no different.

What else do you want people to know about you?

I would just want them to know this is what I do. I’m a child advocate. I look at the 67,000 students in the county and I think I can help them.

‘Remain calm and stay engaged’ in election process Local officials urge calm amid confusion created by federal election commission

BY TOM SKELLEY TSKELLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Local election officials are reporting that a federal commission’s request for personal voter information has spurred more than 3,000 Colorado voters, more than 2,000 of those in the Denver metro area alone, to withdraw their voter registration since July 1.

“It is the topic of the day, actually of the last week,” said Beth Clippinger, executive assistant for Jefferson County Clerk and Recorder Faye Griffin, on July 10. “Citizens are pushing to not be on that list.”

In May, President Donald Trump formed the Presidential Advisory Commission on Election Integrity, promising to find evidence of voter fraud to support his claim that millions of people voted illegally in 2016.

On June 28, the commission sent a letter to all 50 secretaries of state to submit voter registration information, including dates of birth and — if available — the last four digits of their Social Security numbers.

The commission has since sent another letter, asking secretaries to wait to send the information until two lawsuits, filed by the American Civil Liberties Union and the Electronic Privacy Information Center on June 10, are resolved.

Nonetheless, the request has led some voters in Adams, Arapahoe, Denver, Douglas and Jefferson counties to withdraw their voter registration, apply for confidential voter status or call election officials with questions about the safety of their personal data.

Legitimate questions On June 29, Colorado Secretary of State Wayne Williams touched off a storm of controversy when he said he would comply with the commission’s request, though he noted he would only send information that is Williams already available.

At a July 5 news conference to clarify his comments, Williams said he’s seen no evidence that voter fraud is happening on the scale Trump alleges. But he is bound by Colorado’s Open Records Act to provide publicly available information to the commission — or anyone else who requests it.

“Many people have asked very legitimate questions about what is public, what’s not,” Williams said.

“We appreciate that.”

At the conference, Williams said his office received some calls from voters asking to withdraw their reg-

BY THE NUMBERS Some metro-area voters have withdrawn from voter registration databases and some are applying for confidential voter status, which requires a $5 fee and that the applicant sign an affidavit affirming that he or she could face criminal harassment or physical danger by providing addresses or other information to the Secretary of State’s Office.

Here are figures from July 1 to July 11 on withdrawals, applications for confidential status and total registered voters in the following counties: Adams County Withdrawals: 193 Applications for confidential status: 29 Total registered voters: 269,749 Arapahoe County Withdrawals: 186 Applications for confidential status: 83 Total registered voters: 410,860 Denver County Withdrawals: 472 Applications for confidential status: 185 Total registered voters: 448,682 Douglas County Withdrawals: 248 Applications for confidential status: 32 Total registered voters: 237,596 Jefferson County Withdrawals: 368 Applications for confidential status: 56 Total registered voters: 422,765

Why not join your friends and neighbors for the annual Douglas County Fair and Rodeo Parade starting in downtown Castle Rock.

istration, though doing so is unnecessary because Colorado allows people to register for confidential voter status if they fear criminal harassment or for their safety.

“We will not give the commission information that is not public in our state,” Williams said. “Social Security numbers, driver’s license numbers, the specific date of your birth — all of that is confidential information that is not provided and is not available under existing Colorado law.”

But Williams’ comments haven’t stemmed the tide.

‘The impact is real’ Clippinger said that from July 1-13, 469 Jefferson County voters withdrew their voter registration and about 61 applied for confidential status.

In Adams County, 305 voters withdrew from the rolls from July 1 to July 13, and 35 applied for confidential status, according to Election Administrator Christi Coburn.

Numbers from the Clerk and Recorder’s Office in Denver County totaled 644 withdrawal requests and 251 applications for confidential status from July 1 to July 13.

and see such a sudden increase in voter registration withdrawals,” stated Amber F. McReynolds, director of elections for the City and County of Denver, in a news release.

“I never expected to see more withdrawals in a day than new registrations. The impact on voters is real.

The impact on civic engagement is real.”

Douglas County Clerk and Recorder Merlin Klotz said voter fraud is an “urban legend,” but there could be value in the commission, provided it focuses on fact-finding, not politics.

“If they get strung up on political issues then forget it,” he said. “If they’re out to find 5 million illegal voters, that’s not the objective I would like to see.”

Klotz said 248 voters in Douglas County have unregistered between July 1 and July 11, though he said it could be for a number of reasons

such as moving out of state. Applications for confidential status totaled 34 as of July 13.

Arapahoe County Clerk and Recorder Matt Crane said phones in his office are ringing more than usual.

“It hasn’t been an avalanche,” he said, “but we’ve definitely seen an uptick, which is unfortunate because we want people to stay engaged.”

Crane’s office reported that 434 voters asked to be unregistered and at least 83 submitted applications to become confidential voters from July 1-13. By comparison, withdrawals averaged 36 per month from January to June.

Up in the air At least 44 states have refused to submit information that is not already available to the commission, according to media outlets, and critics from both major parties have denounced the request as an attempt to validate Trump’s claim or suppress voter turnout.

Asked about such concerns, Wil-

liams said he doesn’t have the discretion to deny the request.

“Colorado law does not allow secretaries to pick and choose based on the purity of the motives of those asking for the documents,” Williams said.

Crane didn’t question the commission’s motives. Still, he worries the process could disenfranchise legitimate voters.

“To pull all of this information from all of the states and do datamatching is incredibly difficult,” Crane said. “I haven’t seen any indication there’s an infrastructure ready to do this sort of data-matching. (That) could lead to false positives and it appearing that people are double-registered and legitimate voters being kicked off voter rolls.”

Crane also mentioned that Colorado, the District of Columbia and 21 other states participate in the Electronic Registration Information Center, a nonprofit formed by those states that uses information from motor vehicle departments, Social Security Administration records and

other databases to compare voters across states.

“This work is already being done by experts,” he said. “It’s something that’s probably best left to the experts.”

Important to ‘remain engaged’ Asked if he’s concerned about voters dropping off the rolls, Williams touted Colorado’s many methods of voter registration, and registration.

“It’s one of the easiest, if not the easiest state to register to vote in,” he said, mentioning that new voters as well as those who withdraw their registration can go online or use their cellphones to register.

Clippinger shared Williams’ lack of concern.

“I don’t think anybody will forget to re-register,” Clippinger said. “It’s heavy on their mind.”

But Crane said he is concerned that people will “fall away” from voter participation and urged his constituents to stay on the rolls.

“Remain calm,” he said. “Stay engaged.”

Steer drive honors heritage, fair and rodeo tradition Event on July 28 will move 35 cattle through downtown Castle Rock

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Downtown Castle Rock will transform into the Old West on July 28 as the town holds the annual Western Heritage Welcome ahead of the Douglas County Fair and Rodeo — complete with a steer drive and the Chuck Wagon Cook-Off. The event is intended to honor the tradition of the fair and rodeo and Colorado’s Western heritage, said Town of Castle Rock events specialist Jennifer Reinhardt.

“I’m really excited about bringing this really authentic Old West feel to the town,” she said. “We’re literally bringing cattle back where they use to go through.”

Large herds of cattle were driven through Colorado throughout the 1800s, including along the “Goodnight-Loving Trail,” which passed through Castle Rock area.

The cattle drive will begin at 6 p.m. and last approximately 30 minutes as cowhands move a herd of 35 cattle along Perry Street from Rock Park to Briccy’s Coffee. The town added about 10 more cattle to the herd after

Steers are driven through Castle Rock during last year’s Western Heritage Welcome. This year’s event will be July 28. the event was a hit last year, Reinhardt said, noting the drive will also feature the Wells Fargo stagecoach.

Residents may gather along Perry Street for the best views, she said, but also can view the cattle once they are corralled at the event site located south of Briccy’s Coffee.

The Chuck Wagon Cook-Off, which is bringing in competitors from multiple states, will offer attendees an authentic Old West meat-andpotatoes meal cooked over coal pits

— true to the slow-cooked method, Reinhardt said.

Tickets and more information for the cook-off are available at CRgov. com/WesternHeritage. Food trucks will also serve eventgoers. The cookoff will be held in the dirt lot south of Briccy’s Coffee, 140 S. Wilcox St., and last until 9 p.m.

Reinhardt said the town is also asking residents to be mindful of construction near Festival Park and the roundabout at Third and Perry

streets while they attend the event.

A day after the steer drive, on July 29, festivities will follow the steer drive on July 29 with the Douglas County Fair and Rodeo Parade, beginning at 9 a.m. The old fashioned parade starts at the south end of town and runs through downtown.

The fair and rodeo run from July 29 through Aug. 6. More information and tickets for the fair are available at douglascountyfairandrodeo.com.

danger in populated areas Hot, dry weather increases the threat

BY TOM SKELLEY TSKELLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Wildfires have become as much a part of Colorado summers as the blossoming of columbines along the Front Range, and 2017 is no different.

“We’re on par for another busy year,” said Eric Hurst, public information officer for South Metro Fire Rescue. “The numbers are definitely up.”

Area residents paying attention to recent wildfires on the Front Range — like the Peak 2 fire in Breckenridge or last year’s Chatridge fire in Highlands Ranch — know that wildfires can hit close to home with little warning.

“A lot of people think they don’t have an issue because they don’t live up in the mountains, but that’s not the case,” said Jay Jackson, assistant chief of

West Metro Fire Rescue and head of its Wildland Fire Division. “We have a lot of open fields, greenways, open spaces.

All of those things are as likely to be impacted by fire as a forest is.”

Jackson said West Metro recently dispatched firefighters and engines to the Peekaboo fire — about 50 miles west of Craig — as well as other areas of Colorado and Arizona. Hurst said South Metro has dispatched firefighters 10 times this year to help control wildfires, six times in the metro area and four times to battle blazes in other areas of Colorado, Wyoming and New Mexico.

Though wildfires tend to occur in the fall, as humidity decreases and vegetation dries up, Hurst stressed that wildfires can ignite whenever dry conditions combine with a heat source, even seemingly harmless ones. A recent Cherry Hills fire started when a man was mowing his lawn to eliminate SEE WILDFIRE, P15

PROTECTING AGAINST WILDFIRES West Metro Assistant Fire Chief Jay Jackson said homeowners can call their local fire department to schedule a property fire safety assessment.

• Break up areas of contiguous fuel. For example, spread rocks along privacy fences, rather than grass or bushes that could spread fire from a yard to the fence.

Here are some more tips to prevent wildfire damage to your home and help you prepare for wildfire emergencies:

Preparing for emergencies • Make an evacuation plan. Find two evacuation routes from your home and from your community, and know how you will use them. Practice using both in case one is blocked by smoke or fire.

Protection • Keep your home’s roof, rain gutters and deck clean and green. Water plants and lawns to keep them from drying out.

• Make a safety zone of 100 feet around your home by clearing dry leaves, pine needles, branches and other potentially flammable plant debris.

• Put anything that can burn, such as woodpiles and propane tanks at least 100 feet away from your home.

September 21

• Choose patio furniture and other outdoor items with fire safety in mind.

1-888-9-AXS-TIX

• Practice the plan with everyone in your family. If you have a pet, include a leash or carrier in practices.

• Have a communications plan for family members in case you aren’t together during an evacuation.

• Make an emergency kit with essential personal items that will be ready to grab and go. Include pet supplies.

• Make sure your house number can be easily seen from the road.

• Know ahead of time how to receive emergency information from officials in your community. In a wildfire, follow their evacuation instructions.

• “Limb up” trees by trimming low-hanging branches that can spread fire from the ground.

Senator gives pep talk for work of volunteers B Bennet pays visit to Douglas County, lauds efforts of AmeriCorps, Parker Task Force

BY TOM SKELLEY TSKELLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

U.S. Sen. Michael Bennet said he was happy to take a break from the back-and-forth in Washington, D.C., to pay a visit to Douglas County for two events on July 14, starting his morning at a graduation ceremony at CU South Denver in Lone Tree for the AmeriCorps volunteer program.

“Over the past 10 months, you visited places, met people and gained skills that others may never experience in an entire lifetime,” Bennet said. “As your boots testify, you’ve learned something about yourselves.

That’s the power of service.”

Bennet listed some of the projects the graduates performed, such as tutoring Eagle County students, restoring historic ranches in Gunnison, mitigating wildfire fuels near Lake George and building homes with Habitat for Humanity in Longmont and other areas.

In his speech, Bennet also men-

Not coincidentally, the Task Force was Bennet’s next scheduled stop. He met with volunteers and clients at the food bank and stressed the importance of

Bennet shares thoughts on range of issues Senator talks about matters related to life quality, national politics

BY TOM SKELLEY TSKELLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

After his address to AmeriCorps graduates in Lone Tree on July 14, U.S. Sen. Michael Bennet granted an exclusive interview to Colorado Community Media to talk about food insecurity, healthcare, Russian election interference and how he feels volunteer service can lead to opportunities for jobs and unity.

On volunteer service: “I think that one of the great opportunities we have to pull people together in this country at a time when our politics is so divided is service in our communities … I’ve seen teams of veterans, returning veterans from Iraq and Afghanistan working in teams, in service, to do fire mitigation in the forests and then after that successful completion of a fellowship of some kind, going on to be hired by the Department of Agriculture or the BLM and the Department of the Interior. Having a pipeline (to employment) for young people, for veterans, even for people who are switching careers, through a year or two of service, I think would be a very positive thing for this country.”

On economic recovery and those left behind: “We’re fortunate in many ways because Colorado has the lowest unemployment rate of any states in the country. But even in our state, you see the people who haven’t had the benefit of that … People are earning the same, in their wages, as they were earning 20 years ago … but their cost of housing, their cost of healthcare, their cost of higher education, their cost of early childhood education is conspiring to create much less purchasing power for them to move their family ahead or to be able to save. Even in a county as wealthy as Douglas County we see that (food insecurity) exists and that’s why it’s so great that (the Parker Task Force) is here and that’s why I’m going to see it. It’s not just about what the federal government can do, it’s about what we can all do to help.”

On Senate Republicans’ latest healthcare bill: “Whether you support the Affordable Care Act or you don’t, I think people are deeply dissatisfied with the way our healthcare system works … I wish we were focused on those questions — how do we create more affordability for families, how do we create more predictability and more transparency? We’re not, because what Mitch McConnell is focused on

is a seven-year campaign promise to repeal Obamacare, which they’re having a very hard time doing, because it turns out what they said Obamacare was, it actually wasn’t, and the American people and people in Colorado have said ‘don’t do any more damage to our system than we already have, Bennet we want to see improvements’ …

“So they ought to scrap this very damaging bill. The cuts to Medicaid are just brutal, and start over again with a bipartisan bill and see if we can actually address some problems.”

On Russian election interference: “The heads of (President Trump’s) intelligence agencies have all said that Russia interfered with our election.

And anybody that’s seen that intelligence, and I have, knows that it’s very, very serious. Now there’s a whole other question about whether the Trump campaign was involved.

“I have no idea about that, but I do know that Bob Mueller, who has been appointed the special prosecutor in this case, is somebody who’s respected by everybody in Washington. I think we should let him do his work, let the committees in the House and the Senate do their work. But I don’t think we should blow this off.

“There are people who are saying this is a distraction, it’s not. This was an attack by Russia on our electoral process whether the Trump people were involved or not, and that needs to be responded to, because if we don’t respond to it they’ll do it again and they’ll do it again. They’re already doing it in Europe, and if you speak to any of the European ambassadors to the United States, it raises the hair on the back of your neck, what they’ve said the Russians are doing.”

On the political divide in the United States: “I live in a state that’s a third Republican, a third Democrat and a third independent, and I believe that if left to our own devices here in Colorado, that in all these counties, whether they’re Republican, Democrat or neither, there’s about a 75 percent consensus around things like infrastructure, higher education, the economy, and if you can get (politicians) into a place where they are considering what we’re doing for the next generation of Americans … if that were our organizing principle in Washington, I think you’d see a lot of this divisiveness just go away … It’s up to all of us, those of us who care about it and believe the republic needs to be sustained for another generation of Americans … to rise above the partisan nonsense of the day and take a longer view. And that’s going to require not just senators, but citizens to take that view.”

Evelyn Waugh, a man, was briefly married to a woman named Evelyn. Evelyn Gardner.

“The Loved One” is called a “black comedy.” It came and went in 1965, but it is seen as something of a prize since then.

Me too, we have all had one of those days I am sure. But Michael Norton stay with me, because this column is not about the days that go horribly wrong, it’s about days that start well and finish even better.

I have had more and more of the good days lately, many more actually, and I wanted to share some thoughts as to why I believe my days are getting increasingly better and minimizing the days that go in the wrong direction.

For me, starting my day begins with a spiritual moment. As soon as I wipe the sleep from my eyes and the fog from my head, I say a quick prayer of thanks as I greet

the day. The very next thing I do is read Scripture and then share my thoughts with my accountability partner via text.

For us, it is a fantastic way to ground ourselves and prepare ourselves for anything that may happen during the day.

We focus on how we can apply what we just finished reading to the planned and unplanned events of the day.

The second thing I do is some sort of physical activity.

It could be a workout in the gym, it could be a long walk, either way, it gives me more time to process what I had just read and discussed, and it also allows me to think about what the day will hold. 30-60 minutes of exercise provides an opportunity for more reflection and allows those stress-relieving, stimulating, and healing endorphins to start kicking in too.

The third thing to starting the day off properly for me is to have a healthy breakfast. This was not always the case. I used to justify my carbohydrateheavy morning feast by saying that my workout earned me that stack of pancakes, extra side of bacon, a large orange SEE NORTON, P15

Not any more, now I cap off my morning devotional and workout with a sensible breakfast with the right proteins and healthy amount of the right kind of fats. This is important and relevant because ever since switching to this behavior, my days really have been getting better. My energy is higher, my focus clearer, and my patience is greater and even much more relaxed.

The fourth thing is to make sure I have told my family how much I love them and appreciate them before the work day begins. It could be a text, a call, an email, or if I am lucky enough I get to tell them in person.

Each day will bring exactly what we plan for and expect. And yes, many days also bring unplanned events, challenges, and disruptions that we least expected. Perhaps you have always done a wonderful job of staying the course and handling whatever life throws at you better than others.

Setting the record straight The Douglas County Federation is compelled to respond to misinformation shared by Directors Geddes and Peck at a recent board meeting. They stated DCF is opposed to performance-based pay or basing a teacher’s salary on evaluation.

In fact, in 1994 DCF helped develop an award-winning pay for performance system in collaboration with district administration. That system was developed with teachers, principals, parents, school board and community members, and included bonuses and negative consequences based on evaluations.

Every aspect of a teacher’s career was reviewed and considered as the system was designed. The guiding question for every decision was, “Is this best for our students?”

The system worked. Douglas County School District’s children and employees flourished for years. These are documented facts. Unfortunately, that pay system and guiding principal of employ-

was much better prepared to manage how each day would go, and also how each day would finish.

Starting the day is strong, but equally as important is how we finish. How we finish each day helps set the tone, mood, and expectations for the following day. My evening ritual includes reading, more prayer time and reflection, a review of the day’s events, and then creating a list of what I need to do the next day. Even if it is in my calendar already, I mentally prepare better by writing my list out so I can further prioritize what I need to do and when I need to do it. And by the way, if there is a hard or difficult task, that always becomes number one on the `to-do’ list.

Get it out of the way and off the plate.

So how about you? Are you starting well and finishing better or can you make a change or two to your daily habits to help set the tone and foundation for each day that will result in a better outcome? Either way I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@gmail. com and when we have a plan to start each day strong and finish each day even stronger, it really will be a better than good week.

I admit that I laughed, and I rarely laugh.

Outside of what I call “side effects” commercials, there isn’t a single thing on television that amuses me. A side effects commercial consists of a medicine that might cure something, like “Elvis leg,” but at the risk of about 100 possible side effects, that are far worse than Elvis leg.

The side effects are often things I have never heard, that require medicines of their own, which have side effects too, so what started out as Elvis leg holds the potential of every imaginable and unimaginable ailment, affliction, infection, and malady.

These commercials have me in stitches. (Rim shot).

ee and community collaboration were summarily ended with the ideological shift of DCSD’s board years ago.

However, one thing Geddes said was true: the current teacher evaluation system, CITE, isn’t supported by teachers. It’s ineffective, misaligned and often manipulated for political reasons. Sadly, it has created a negative environment in our schools and has contributed to our district’s unacceptable teacher turnover rate.

But those aren’t the main reasons teachers don’t like it. Like the current top-down, punitive, and educationally unsound pay system, the current teacher evaluation system isn’t good for kids.

Teachers know what’s best for their students and know these two systems make it harder to do their jobs, and ultimately meet the needs of their students.

It is regrettable that Geddes and Peck chose not to attend the recent DCF teacher panel discussion, where they would’ve learned the truth about what teachers, principals, and community members believe, and instead choose to invent a story that fits their political narrative, but is blatantly untrue.

Metro-area residents urged to be bear aware The animals follow their stomachs, so don’t leave them anything to eat

BY STEPHANIE MASON SMASON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

In the middle of the night, Cheryl Matthews, a Larkspur resident, woke up to the sound of her dogs “barking like crazy.” While expecting to see a raccoon, she looked outside and saw a black bear tearing down her bird feeders and proceeding to do $350 worth of

damage to her property.

“We saw the bear meandering through our yard,” Matthews said.

“We have a fenced yard with mesh wire around it. It is unusual for us to see bears.”

Matthews is not alone in her recent encounter with bears.

On July 9 in Boulder County, a camper was awoken by a bear biting his head, and the animal proceeded to drag him several feet before being scared off — the camper sustained only minor injuries, but the 280-pound bear was later caught and euthanized.

Three days earlier, in south Jefferson County, a bear climbed up a tree near

Adult black bears generally weigh between 100 and 450 pounds, with males typically under 300 pounds and females under 200 pounds, according to Colorado Parks and Wildlife’s online species profile. And they are not always black — they can also be brown or tan in color.

Castle Rock Hikes! provides community and easy hiking Club plans free group outings in local trails and open spaces

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Last fall, Inger Hiller wanted to join a hiking group.

The only problem, she said, was that despite there being “a ton of options” throughout Colorado, many groups didn’t fit her. Some charge members to participate. Others focus on challenging hikes deep in the mountains.

Neither of those scenarios were good options for Hiller, a mom of two young children.

She has time for a quick hike near her home in Castle Rock and, preferably, a free one.

So when Hiller decided to create her own organization.

In October, Hiller began Castle Rock Hikes!. The free group is open to people of all ages and backgrounds, but most importantly, focuses on easy to moderate hikes in or around Castle Rock. When members do venture farther, the group still sticks to Douglas County trails and open

They strive to hike every Saturday and Sunday but include the occasional weekday hike as well. The group communicates through the social media site, Meetup, where people who create a profile list their interests and find local clubs or organizations of likeminded people.

“I get so many members and their story is the same,” Hiller said, explaining those who join are often new to Castle Rock or Colorado and are looking to learn the area while

“It just feels really good to create that kind of community, especially for people new to the area,” Hiller said, although longtime residents are recruited as well.

Phannenstiel commended Hiller for her thorough research of trails and open spaces before the group plans a hike. Hiller also does a good job explaining the trail and what group members can expect if they choose to join, Phannenstiel said.

“She finds all the trails that I don’t take the time to find myself,” she said.

Elaine Meyer joined the group in early 2017 with her daughter, who in January moved from Florida and was looking for ways to meet new people. Like Phannenstiel, Meyer said she’s learned about new hiking spots while also getting to hike some of her favorite trails in the area.

The women say group members often pair up and hike with people at their same skill level, although the group mostly stays together and keeps an eye on each member.

“We’re really conscious of the group and how everyone is doing,” Meyer said.

Looking forward, Hiller said she’ll keep planning hikes and other activities for the group to get to know each other outside of those trips. If demand continues to grow — they have more than 400 followers on Meetup — she may also take on more organizers.

In the meantime, Hiller is celebrating the group’s 50th hike.

“Hearing people laugh while we walk and learn the area,” she said, “is the best part.”

Dry needling a different technique to treat pain, promote healing

T

BY TOM SKELLEY | TSKELLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

S

itting in her Highlands Ranch office after working with a patient, Samantha Hovel explained the biggest problem she has when discussing a little-known treatment with some of her patients.

“Nobody likes the word ‘needle,’ ” she said.

When she sees a patient with soft tissue pain that affects mobility, Hovel, clinic director at Rocky Mountain Spine and Sport, often recommends dry needling, a treatment begun in the late 1970s that has been gaining traction with physical therapists over the past three decades.

No drugs are injected through the solid “dry” needle used to penetrate the skin, muscles and tendons, giving the process its name. Hovel locates trigger points, or painful areas in a muscle or tendon, then inserts a monofilament needle, the same kind used for acupuncture, into the tissue until the patient feels a “deep ache” or the muscle twitches. Electrical stimulation from a 9-volt battery is sometimes used to spur the twitching response in muscles.

“It can physically inhibit the transmission of pain signals through the nerves,” Hovel said. “My patients see a better range of motion, increased healing rates in tendons and increased blood flow to the area.”

Hovel’s patients range from teens with posture issues to athletes recovering from injury to seniors with chronic pain. She stresses that it’s a piece of her treatment plan, not a cure-all, but says 75 to 80 percent of patients report improvement after a session or two.

“I tell them it’s 100 percent your choice, but this could help you faster than anything else,” she said.

Some patients are skeptical, and some balk at the suggestion altogether, but Hovel said she sees more skeptics become believers than the other way around.

DIFFERENCES BETWEEN DRY NEEDLING AND ACUPUNCTURE

Acupuncture:

Traditional Chinese medicine holds that stimulating the meridians balances the flow of energy, known as chi, flowing through pathways in the body, also called “meridians.” By inserting needles into specific points along these meridians, acupuncturists believe that the energy flow will restore that balance and resolve medical issues such as pain or illness.

Dry needling:

Dry needling is a technique in which a monofilament needle is inserted superficially into the skin, or more deeply into muscles, ligaments or tendons, to relieve pain, break up scar tissue or increase circulation. The Journal of the American Board of Family Medicine endorsed the practice in 2010 as effective, minimally invasive and “low risk,” though it added that further research was needed to determine the effectiveness of superficial needling.

Samantha Hovel holds one of the tools of her trade, a monofilament needle like the ones she uses to perform dry needling on her patients. Hovel says about 75 to 80 percent of her clients experience better results when dry needling is incorporated in their therapy regimen.

TOM SKELLEY

Source: Mayo Clinic

Global research, western technique Dry needling derived from clinical trials in the United States in the 1940s that injected trigger points with corticosteroids, analgesics and saline. In the 1970s, Czechoslovakian Dr. Karel Lewit found that patients showed signs of improvement from just the needling effect, whether or not any drugs were injected.

Canadian physician Dr. Chan Gunn took things a step further.

Gunn, widely acknowledged as the SEE NEEDLING, P15

Monofilament needles prptrude from the back of a patient in Nicole Stevens’ Golden office during a dry needling treatment. Needles penetrate muscles in the procedure, interrupting pain signals sent from the brain and eliciting a twitch response that allows muscles to “reset” and relax.

innovator of the practice in North America, dubbed the technique “intramuscular stimulation.” He theorized that peripheral nerve pain caused trigger points to tighten and compress, but if pain signals were interrupted by the insertion of a needle, the muscle would return to its natural state.

Gunn’s decades of research, practice and proselytizing led to his technique being adopted worldwide, and a course in Intra Muscular Stimulation is offered to physicians at the University of British Columbia.

Two sides of the same needle Despite a basis in medical science, not everyone is convinced of dry needling’s benefits, particularly acupuncturists.

A lawsuit, filed in March by the Acupuncture Association of Colorado, is pending in Denver District Court. No date has been set for proceedings to begin.

The suit alleges physical therapists in Colorado are insufficiently trained to perform the invasive procedure, noting that dry needling requires 46 hours of training while

Skelley

acupuncturists must receive 1,905 hours of training to be certified.

Nicole Stevens, a physical therapist who operates her own practice, Point in Motion, LLC, disputes the assertion that needling practitioners like her are undertrained.

“We all have four years of undergrad and a two-year doctorate or master’s,” to become physical therapists, Stevens

said.

Stevens received a master’s degree in physical therapy from the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center in 2000, and was certified to perform dry needling in 2010.

Hovel earned a doctorate in physical therapy from Regis University in 2007.

“All we’re doing is using a needle to reach a point we couldn’t reach with our

hands,” Stevens said.

Dr. Byron Jones, a Lakewood physiatrist and director of the Lutheran Spine Center, was skeptical of dry needling at first, but an internal study with his own patients changed his mind. He and his staff now incorporate needling, in addition to exercise and other therapies, to treat tendonitis, injuries and a variety of muscle issues.

“I have to say I was not a fan of dry needling when they first started doing it,” Jones said.

“Physical therapists have proven to me there is a significant benefit. I have found it to be a very effective form of adjunctive treatment. The problem is, some therapists believe this is all you need to do, and the research doesn’t support that.”

Relieving pain, respiting surgery One of Hovel’s patients, Paul Bergstrom, says dry needling is helping him stave off back surgery.

Bergstrom, a 72-year-old Littleton resident, has a herniated disc in his spine. He tried chiropractic to no avail, and he wasn’t eager to follow doctors’ orders to have some of his vertebrae fused. After a recommendation from his son, Bergstrom paid a visit to Hovel.

Almost two years later, Bergstrom said Hovel’s regimen of core-strengthening exercise, massage, spinal adjustments and dry needling has allowed him to regain 80 to 90 percent of his day-to-day activity without pain.

“It’s not going to cure it, but I don’t know that surgery necessarily will cure it either. Right now this is the best answer and I hope it stays that way,” he said. “When you’re in pain, it’s hard to get stuff done. And I’ve got a lot of chores to do.”

Douglas County volunteers tout feeling of satisfaction gained by giving back

Brigitte Parker, Castle Pines For Brigitte Parker of Castle Pines, serving at the Hidden Mesa Research Orchard in Franktown is a welcome escape from 25 years in the tech industry. She began by volunteering as a trail worker for Douglas County’s Department of Open Space, but a rainstorm that closed the trail at Hidden Mesa months ago changed her plans.

“I fell in love with the chickens,” Parker said, referring to the chickens roaming the orchard to control the grasshopper population. “I saw these chickens roaming around and came over to ask what they were doing.

That did it for me. The trails haven’t seen me since.”

Parker said she loves the opportunity to serve the community while taking in nature, and that the fresh produce grown there goes to the Parker Task Force to feed needy families. She also loves her co-volunteers.

“It’s outside and the people are the best,” she said. “Basically, this isn’t work, it’s play.”

Susie Appleby, Highlands Ranch Susie Appleby has always had a love of history, and the Highlands Ranch Mansion has always been a special place for her. She volunteered there for 20 years before becoming the volunteer coordinator in March 2016.

“I’m having time of my life, as I always knew I would,” she said.

Appleby also serves on the Douglas County Historic Preservation Board and with the Colorado Historical Society, but her favorite role is overseeing the mansion and its 60 volunteers,

in a church basement or picking up trash next to an interstate, but for Douglas County residents who want a more personal touch to their service, reasons and opportunities to give back abound.

Their reasons for volunteering are as unique as the places and ways that they serve. Here are a few of their stories. For information on other opportunities in Douglas County, visit volunteerconnectdc.org.

even if it isn’t what most people assume volunteering entails.

“For me, it was all about historical preservation,” Appleby said. “Even though it’s not in one of those traditional roles, you’re still giving back to the community.”

Serving with other volunteers is a unique experience in and of itself, she said, because they share a common interest in the service they are providing.

Kathy Denson, Parker Kathy Denson started volunteering in college in Indiana, coaching young girls in basketball. She served on various boards and committees since, but was always “pigeonholed” into doing the books, a role she found to be too similar to her day job as a CPA .

In January 2015, Denson called the Douglas County Libraries Adult Literacy Department, and began working with adults trying to complete their GED. “What’s rewarding about this is seeing their successes,” she said. “That opens all the other doors they’ve been waiting to go

Denson is currently tutoring Sumita Safi, a 21-year-old refugee living in Parker and studying hard to pass the third of four tests to obtain her high school equivalency.

“She’s not like a teacher or a tutor, she’s more like a friend,” Safi said.

Baby box program gives women ‘breath of fresh air’ State initiative encourages safe sleep practices for parents and infants

BY SHANNA FORTIER SFORTIER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

New and expecting moms throughout the Colorado now have access to free, safe place for babies to sleep with the Colorado launch of the baby box.

The Baby Box Co., the company behind the global initiative to equip expecting families with vital parenting education and resources, has partnered with Rocky Mountain Children’s Health Foundation (RMCHF) and Denver Health Foundation (DHF) to bring the initiative to Colorado, making it the fifth U.S. state to offer families a universal free baby box program.

A launch was held for the Colorado boxes July 13 at Rocky Mountain Children’s Health Foundation in Arvada.

“The baby box is not just a cardboard box,” explained Luanne Williams, executive director of Rocky Mountain Children’s Health Foundation. “It has gone through a lot of testing to be rated as a bassinet.”

Inside each box is a firm mattress with an organic sheet along with diapers, wipes and breastfeeding supplies for the new mom to utilize.

The Baby Box Co. co-founders Mi-

Michelle Vick, co-founder of The Baby Box Co., left, and Luanne Williams, executive director of Rocky Mountain Children’s Health Foundation, stand in front of the first shipment of baby boxes for new Colorado parents.

SHANNA FORTIER chelle Vick and Jennifer Clary based their company and product off the Finnish baby box program.

Vick said she was inspired to start the company after reading a BBC article about the program.

“Every baby who is born in the country receives this baby box,” Vick said of Finland. “And that means that every baby that’s born in the country has a safe place to sleep.”

Box promotes safe sleep habits The Finnish initiative, which enables every expecting woman in the country to claim a free baby box once she receives prenatal care and parenting information from a healthcare professional, is credited with helping to decrease Finland’s infant mortality rate.

The 2016 infant mortality rate for Finland is 2.5 per 1,000 babies, the fourth lowest in the world, according to the Central Intelligence Agency’s World Factbook. In the United States, the infant mortality rate is 5.8 per 1,000 babies, which Vick said is “shockingly high for a developed country.”

“We want to do what we can to try to help that,” Vick said.

The statewide program earmarked approximately 66,500 free baby boxes for distribution, the estimated number of Colorado babies expected to be delivered within one year, according to the Henry J. Kaiser Family Foundation. Partners for the Colorado program include Rocky Mountain Children’s Health Foundation, Denver Health Foundation, Denver Department of Public Health, Lansinoh and multiple other healthcare organizations throughout the state.

One way baby boxes are utilized is to promote safe sleep habits, which can be challenging for sleep-deprived parents and particularly for breastfeeding

mothers. According to a recent study released by Temple University Hospital, 59 percent of mothers who exclusively breastfed their babies and used a baby box said it made breastfeeding easier, due to the proximity of the baby boxes at night. This study also found that baby boxes cut co-sleeping rates in breastfeeding mothers by half since mothers can keep the baby box close by without having to co-sleep out of convenience.

“For moms that are trying to breastfeed, it allows baby to be next to the mom while she’s sleeping, which will hopefully reduce the amount of cosleeping — where the baby is sleeping in the parents’ bed — which we know is not the safest place for a baby to sleep,” said Jan Kennaugh, neonatologist at Rocky Mountain Hospital for Children.

Denver mom Sarah Widmann was one of the first recipients of a Colorado baby box from The Baby Box Co. at the launch held July 13 at Rocky Mountain Children’s Health Foundation in Arvada.

“I’m super excited that this is a program that’s offered for new moms,” said Widmanm, while breastfeeding her 6-month-old daughter. “Everything you read, doctors always caution against co-sleeping — the baby can suffocate. So, having a box right next to your bed is pretty convenient.”

Boxes tailored to Rocky Mountains Rocky Mountain Children’s Health Foundation is working with The Baby Box Co. as part of the foundation’s Best Start Program which aims to provide evidence-based resources and education to ensure that every newborn in Colorado has a safe place to sleep, can reap the benefits of human milk and will thrive by building a strong and healthy brain.

“At Rocky Mountain Children’s Health Foundation, we are committed to giving every baby born in Colorado the best start in life,” said Kennaugh, who also sits on the foundation’s board. “One way we are doing this is by working to improve breastfeeding rates. It is our hope that the educational resources contained in Baby Box University and through Mothers’ Milk Bank and the convenience of the baby boxes will aid in this effort.”

The Colorado baby boxes are designed specifically for the state with pictures of mountains, trees, big sky and momma and baby animals native SEE BABY BOX, P47

Castle Pines teen enjoys budding career in country music Taylor Rae Muckel released her first album on June 16

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

On July 3, 16-year-old singer/songwriter Taylor Muckel took the stage at downtown Denver’s Independence Eve concert just before 5 p.m. While wearing a red, floor-length dress that flowed around her, Muckel’s voice rang through Civic Center as she breezed through her sound check.

First, Muckel sang the national anthem to the applause of early-bird concert-goers who arrived early to save seats. Then, she belted out her own single, “13 Stripes and 50 Stars,” a patriotic tune that speaks of the freedom and sacrifice symbolized in the American flag, again earning listeners’ applause.

The Independence Eve concert, where thousands attended, would be her biggest performance to date, Muckel said after finishing her sound check— although, it would not be the Castle Pine teen’s first taste of success.

Muckel, who’s stage name is Taylor Rae, released her first album on June 16, which is available on most digital outlets. The country-music album was recorded in Nashville and features two songs written by Muckel — “Flying Solo” and “I’m Done” — with a host of other accomplishments. Muckel and her team

Castle Pines teen Taylor Rae Muckel performs the national anthem at the Independence Eve concert held on July 3 at Civic Center in Denver.

COURTESY PHOTO tapped names such as Jay DeMarcus of Rascal Flatts and drummer Jared Kneale, who’s played with artists such as Hunter Hayes, to collaborate on the project.

The first single from the album, “13 Stripes and 50 Stars,” has been played on radio stations across the nation. Muckel heard her voice on the radio for the first time on July 3, she said, describing her journey leading up to the album release as a whirlwind.

But it’s a hopeful turn of events for the rising sophomore at Valor Christian High School, who says becoming a country music artist is what she plans to pursue as a career, all while balancing music with school.

“I realized this is what I want to do. This is it,” Muckel said.

She started singing at 4 years old through church. As she grew older, she developed

a passion for songwriting, typically starting with a chord progression on her guitar and building from there.

“I write a lot about the same topic over and over and over again until I find the way I want to say it,” Muckel said.

“I fell in love with songwriting.”

Some songs are personal.

Her song “I’m Done” is written about her own experiences being bullied, she said, but it became her favorite on the album.

“This one, it felt like a resolution,” Muckel said, explaining she no longer writes about being bullied.

“I’m done with your words like weapons and your actions like thieves, robbing me, and I’m done with all your cruelty,” Muckel tells her bullies through the song. “You saw the worst in me. You couldn’t see my best qualities.”

She also takes on topics im-

portant in the life of a 16-yearold, including boys and friends, she said, although she can pull inspiration from anywhere. She formed the concept for her song “Flying Solo” after watching a lone bird flying through the air, and used the concept to write about leaving a cheating partner.

“Don’t you dare come crawling back because I’ve still got my pride, no doubt about that,” Muckel croons on the track. “Now I’m flying solo.”

Muckel’s manager, Paul Jackson, said he found her voice to be unique, describing its strength as similar to the booming voice of Adele, having been adapted to fit the country genre. He also saw in her an ability beyond her years to pen meaningful lyrics.

“For her age, she had a unique ability with language to craft a song,” he said. “Pret-

ty much everything about her will mature and change for the positive. She’s just barely 16 years old.”

Jackson is based in Nashville and entered the music industry in the 1970s working with The Oak Ridge Boys.

Throughout the years, he has managed music groups and more than 100 artists.

Jackson said many “incredibly talented” singers come to Nashville, so when deciding who to represent he looks for three things in a musician: the ability to sing, the ability to write and something unique to set an artist apart in a competitive industry.

He found those things in Muckel, he said, describing her as “very, very focused” in the studio.

“She’s a very smart young lady. She approaches things intellectually,” he said. “It’s not uncommon for her to say, ‘I can do that better.’”

Their next steps for Muckel’s career will be to continue finding performance opportunities and to grow her online presence, he said. For Muckel, she’d love to grab a gig as the opening act for another artist.

Her dream tour, if she could pick any tour of the moment, would be Sam Hunt with Maren Morris.

Muckel’s mother, Alison, said watching her daughter work on an album among professionals in Nashville was a neat opportunity, and although her journey to releasing an album was a long process, it also happened “very organically.”

“She works really hard at it,” Alison said of Muckel’s music.

“She’s pretty amazing.”

BEARS FROM PAGE 16

Keeping bears away Bears consume up to 20,000 calories a day, said Andy Hough, environmental resource specialist for Douglas County, who formerly worked for Colorado Parks and Wildlife.

In the metro Denver area, a bear eats a diet that is 90 percent vegetarian and the rest is usually from insects. Bears will eat smaller animals, like chickens and goats, if they are available.

To avoid attracting bears, Churchill suggests taking down bird feeders.

The nutrient-rich food is full of calories that draw bears. It is also important not to leave out trash overnight, Churchill said.

For campers, Churchill suggests tying food up, putting it in bear-proof lockers and even having campers changing out of the clothes that they cooked in.

If you see a bear Black bears are not known to be aggressive, Hough said. Animals get aggressive when they feel threatened or when they are surprised, Churchill said.

“Give them a chance to escape,” Churchill said. “To avoid surprising an animal on a trail, make noise while you are hiking.”

Churchill said it is important to make the animal uncomfortable and feel unsafe when it comes to a campsite or back yard.

Hazing the animal is important, Hough said. If someone sees a bear near their home and is in an area where they can get to their home, Hough recommends making noise and throwing rocks at the animal to de-habituate the bear.

“Bears that regularly interact with people, especially if they are eating human food, are trained into bad behavior that will eventually get them killed,” Hough said.

KEEPING BEARS AT BAY

Around the house • Keep garbage in a well-secured location and wait until morning of pick-up to set out.

• Use a bear-resistant trash can or dumpster if available from trash hauler.

• Prevent all odors if possible. Clean trash cans regularly.

• Keep garage doors closed, lock doors and keep the bottom floor windows of your house closed.

• Don’t leave pet food or stock feed outside.

• Do not hang bird feeders from April 15 to Nov. 15.

• Allow grills to burn for a couple of minutes after cooking to burn off grease and to eliminate odors. Clean the grill after each use.

• If you own small livestock, keep animals in a fully covered enclosure, don’t store food outside, keep enclosures clean to minimize odors, hang rags soaked in ammonia around the enclosure.

• Install electric fencing around beehives

Vehicles and at campsites • When car-camping, secure all food and coolers in a locked vehicle after you’ve eaten and roll up windows and lock the doors.

• When camping in the backcountry, hang food 100 feet or more from your campsite.

• Don’t bring any food or fragrant items into your tent • Cook food well away from your tent and wash dishes thoroughly.

Source: Colorado Parks and Wildlife Hough recommends speaking authoritatively to the animal and looking directly at it, but not in its eyes. He suggests that people raise their arms above their heads to look larger and back away slowly, never turning their back to the animal.

“In the very rare case that you are attacked, it is important to fight back,” Hough said. “Swing at it with anything you’ve got. They don’t want to get hurt themselves and if they have something fighting back and causing trouble, they instinctively will be less likely to continue the attack.”

DID YOU KNOW? Drag racing is about harnessing horsepower and torque to produce as much speed as quickly as possible. The top fuel dragsters are at the top of the list of achieving those goals. The powerful 8,000-horsepower engine is behind the driver in the long, low-slung dragster. The engine idles at about 2,100 revolutions per minute and gulps fuel at about 1.2 gallons per second to generate the power needed to accelerate the car from the starting line to 100 mph in about one second. The car can be traveling more than 320 miles an hour as it crosses the finish line.

Funny cars are powered by the same highperformance engines as the dragsters.

But, instead of the sling shot-style dragster body, funny cars use bodies

fashioned to resemble production-model automobiles. Speeds and times for funny cars are just a little less than that of the top fuel dragsters.

Pro stock cars are powered by 500 cubicinch engines and the bodies must be production models. Teams use bodies such as the Chevrolet Cavalier and the Dodge Stratus. The cars run times in the 7-second range and hit speeds of about 190 miles an hour. The cars are very evenly matched and, frequently, a win or a loss is determined by one-thousandth of a second.

Motorcycles are part of the pro classes, too. The drivers guide the bullet-like motorcycles as the machines cover the quarter-mile in 7.5 seconds and hit speeds of 180 miles an hour.

time of year for drag-racing fans as all the top competitors in the four professional classifications — top fuel dragster, top fuel funny car, pro stock car and pro stock motorcycle — will be at Bandimere Speedway.

Drag-racing is a full-time profession for just about all the profes-

arry Buckner was searching for a diecast model of a midget racer but found a real one instead — which he purchased.

And, he’s been racing for the past decade with the Colorado Vintage Oval Racing Club. He owns two OVERTIME midgets and is working on another that will be ready to race next season.

“When I was 5, 6, 7 years old, my dad would take me out to the midget races,” the Highlands Ranch resident said.

“When I retired, I was collecting diecast cars of Jim Benton old cars that I had owned.

“I didn’t know if you could get diecast midgets. I got online and typed diecast midgets because I was going to buy one. Well a real one showed up. I investigated and found out there was a club in Colorado. Eight-inch car or 80 inches, what the heck, so I ended up buying it.”

A vintage midget is a small car with a high power-to-weight ratio with a four-cylinder engine. They typically have 300- to 400-horsepower engines and weigh about 900 pounds.

Buckner, a 1960 Denver South graduate and athlete, is a former Arapahoe High School baseball, football and hockey coach and the current golf coach for the Warriors.

He admits it took a while to get used to driving a midget with such high horsepower in a small car.

“There is so much power,” he said.

“Once you get used to it, you learn to handle the power. Man, those guys that did it for real were nuts. We really don’t race that much, we go around maybe eight times. We go out run practice laps maybe twice. It’s more of an exhibition than it is a race.

“You get nothing for winning. The way you win is you put the car back on the trailer when the night is over. It’s more for the people to see what the old cars looked like. I’ve heard all the baseball, football and hockey stories, but listening to the stories that these guys tell is great.”

Local men play baseball for love of game Tournament brings together players from various adult teams around area

BY TOM MUNDS TMUNDS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Playing baseball sits atop the list of weekend things to do for Alec Bibby, Dave Westmeier and hundreds of other men who head to diamonds around the metro area to play for the 80 teams that make up the Denver National Adult Baseball Association program.

Although they regularly play for other teams, Bibby and Westmeier were Denver Warsenlins teammates during the July 1-3 National Adult Baseball Association’s Mile High Classic Tournament. Bibby, Westmeier and players from a number of other teams joined forces to create the Warsenlins so they could play in the tournament.

“I have been playing baseball since I was a 3-year-old, I have a love and passion for the game so I wanted to continue playing after graduating from Heritage High School,” Bibby, a Littleton resident, said. “Right after graduation, I accepted the opportunity to play on an 18-and-older team and I haven’t missed a season.”

He said it is hard for the entire team to practice as a unit because of the work schedules of the players, so they get in some practice whenever four or five players can get together.

“The greatest thing about playing baseball on an adult team is the friends you make among your teammates,” the 23-year-old said. “You get to know all the guys pretty well on and off the field and I am sure some of these guys will be friends for life.”

Westmeier, a Parker resident, had similar comments.

“I am still playing baseball at 39 because I love the game,” he said.

“I played baseball as a kid, played baseball at Mullen High School and continue to play because of the fun we have on the field and the things we enjoy as friends off the field.”

Support your local paper!

Denver Warsenlins left fielder Dave Westmeier heads for the dugout after the third out was recorded during the July 1 National Adult Baseball Association’s Mile High Classic Tournament game against Omaha.

Westmeier, a Parker resident, usually plays for another team, but he and men from a number of other teams joined forces to create the Warsenlins so they could play in the July 1-3 tournament.

Denver Warsenlins pitcher and Littleton resident Alec Bibby covers the plate and reaches up to catch the ball so he can apply the tag to the Omaha runner during the July 1 National Adult Baseball Association’s Mile High Classic Tournament game at Englewood High School. The Omaha runner slid safely under the tag. Bibby usually plays for the Marlins in the 18 and older NABA league, but joined with players from other teams to form the Warsenlins so they could play in the July 1-3 tournament.

PHOTOS BY TOM MUNDS

Bibby and Westmeier took the field as members of the Denver Warsenlins for the July 1 tournament game against Omaha.

Bibby was the starting pitcher and, when a reliever took the mound, he moved to second base. Westmeier was the team’s left fielder for part of game.

The Warsenlins scored a run in the first inning but Omaha’s bats came alive in the third inning as they scored eight runs to go ahead for good and went on to win the game, 12-2.

The Denver team played well and scored some runs but lost the four tournament games they lost.

“Everyone wants to win,” Bibby said. “But no matter the outcome of a game, it still is a lot of fun to get out on the field and play baseball with my friends.”

Both men agreed they plan to continue to play baseball as long as they can and they said it is great that Denver has a strong NABA program.

The Denver program is part of the National Adult Baseball Association, an organization with headquarters in Littleton.

“We have 80 teams playing in the Denver metro area,” said Joe Collins, NABA vice president. “We have four age group leagues, 18 and older, 25 and older, 35 and older and 48 and older.

Some age divisions are divided into leagues based on player ability. Right now we have more than 1,200 men playing baseball in our Denver area adult leagues.”

He said the association welcomes players over 18 of any skill level.

There are tryouts in February when teams are formed but men can join the league at any time and the association will have them join a team so they can play baseball. Anyone interested can check it out at the web site, www. denvernaba.com.

The season runs from June to the end of August. Teams play 16 to 20

regular season games plus teams can play in local or travel to tournament around the country. Most leagues play games on Saturdays and Sundays but there is some weekday league.

The association charges a fee per team for each season and the team fee is divided up among the players on the roster so that it averages about $250 per player, Collins said. The team fee money is used to cover operating costs like paying officials, field rentals and insurance premiums. Players also provide their own equipment like gloves, cleats and bats.

Collins has been with the association for 17 years and said it continues to grow in the Denver metro area and around the country.

“Right now we have between 25,000 and 30,000 men around the country playing baseball with the association,” he said. “It has been great to see the program grow. We had about 35 teams when I joined the association and we have more than double that number this season.”

player in high school, was a walk-on at Washington.

She learned to row as a freshman and advanced to the varsity eight last spring as a junior.

Thoennes made the women’s eight team for the United States squad that is now competing in the 2017 World Rowing Under-23 Championships in Plovdiv, Bulgaria. The meet runs July 19-23.

competing in pro stock and Mike Berry, a Littleton resident, will be astride his pro stock motorcycle.

Berry is currently 15th in the points standings.

“The top dragster division in the sportsman class will also be interesting to watch this year, particularly the competition between Arvada residents Steve and Vicky Johnson,” Miller said.

“Steve is first in points here at the track and his wife Vicky is second. Vicky won the Mile High Nationals top dragster race in 2015 and her husband won it last year.”

Over the three days of racing, about 100,000 fans are expected at Bandimere Speedway. The Mile High Nationals is the only National Hot Rod Association national event in the Rocky Mountain area.

Pro class drivers expected to be at Bandimere include names like Ron Capps, the points leader in top fuel dragster and Bo Butler, who is in first place in the pro stock points standings.

Special attention also is focused on the outcome of the top fuel dragster races because, as of July 12, there was a fierce battle for second place with two points separating Leah Pritchett (1,087 points) and Antron Brown (1,085 points). Steve Torrence is the points leader with 1,188 points. Points are awarded on participation and performance. Each driver who qualifies earns 10 points and the champion of a division earns 100 points, with 80 points going to the runner-up. It is possible, but not very likely, for a driver who has an unusually successful weekend to earn 130 points.

National drag-racing events are special because a ticket includes a pit pass, which allows fans to watch mechanics prepare the cars for action and even get a chance to talk and get autographs from their favorite drivers. It equates to allowing football fans access to a pro football team’s locker room.

National team appearance High school football games will take a backseat on Sept. 15 when Mountain Vista standout Mallory Pugh, Golden High School graduate Lindsey Horan and the U.S. women’s national soccer team play New Zealand in a friendly soccer match at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park in Commerce City.

The game is set for 8 p.m. and will be televised on ESPN2.

Pugh and Horan played when the U.S. tied Japan 3-3 in a friendly match on June 2, 2016 before a sellout crowd of 18,572 at the Commerce City site.

Charity golf event set Several former Denver Broncos will be a part of the Metro Community Provider Celebrity Golf Tournament July 24 at The Ridge at Castle Pines North.

Money raised goes to provide medical, dental and behavioral health services to metro Denver’s uninsured and underserved populations.

Among the Bronco alumni expected to play are Ebenezer Ekuban, Jeff Alexander, Larry Brunson, Kevin Clark, Bucky Dilts, Steve Haggerty, Rich Karlis, Michael Harden, LeLo Lang and Billy Thompson.

rocks they paint. Nearly 200 have dropped pins on the map to mark their locations.

Her mother also wanted the rocks to be a feature of Graham’s June 23 memorial service. She and and Garcia bought 500 rocks from Home Depot and — with help from members at Graham’s old dance studio and her brothers’ gymnastics studio — painted 500 rocks for the event. People at the service took the rocks home to place somewhere else.

Garcia called it a “Live for Kat” challenge.

So far, the rocks have made it to three continents — North America, Europe and Africa — and places in Alaska, Hawaii and Puerto Rico, to name a few.

Some have taken the rocks, with messages such as “Dance for Kat” and “Play for Kat,” on vacation.

Dancers at a studio in Kansas, where Graham used to live, painted rocks and posted a video that broadcast those ideas June 3 — it challenged other studios to do the same.

And a dance studio in Australia painted an “inspiration wall” in the studio after finding out about Graham’s story.

The Facebook group has received messages from people who have attempted suicide or who have known someone who committed suicide, as well as from people of all ages who come across the page.

For her mother, that’s what the effort is all about.

“If Katerina’s story has helped even one person,” Amie Graham said, “then the rock painting is worth it.”

A handout from the June 23 memorial service for Katerina Graham. Her godmother, Kristen Garcia, brought it to Duncan Park in Englewood July 12, where she and her two sons placed rocks they painted in memory of Graham. ELLIS ARNOLD

A rock with the words “Pray for Kat” painted on it. A person at Daniels Park in Sedalia in late April found the rock, which was left there by a friend of Katerina Graham, who died May 7 after a suicide attempt. After the person who found it posted a photo of it on social media, Graham’s mother saw it and was inspired to have more rocks painted in Graham’s memory.

SPREADING KINDNESS THROUGH ROCKS The idea of painting rocks with positive messages spread on social media when The Kindness Rocks Project’s Facebook page started in 2015. That page now has

more than 30,000 followers, and countless other Facebook groups and pages — many in locales around the United States — have adopted the idea as well.

If you believe that your lender or servicer has failed to provide a single point of contact (38-38-103.1 CRS) or they are still pursuing foreclosure even though you have submitted a completed loss mitigation application or you have been offered and have accepted a loss mitigation option (38-38-103.2 CRS), you may file a complaint with the Colorado Attorney General (720-508-6006) or the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (855411-2372) or both. However, the filing of a complaint in and of itself will not stop the foreclosure process.

Pursuant to C.R.S. 37-92-302, you are notified that the following is a resume of all water right applications and certain amendments filed in the Office of the Water Clerk during the month of JUNE 2017 for each County affected.

17CW3087 SMOKY HILL TRAIL ESTATES, INC., 4950 York Street, P.O. Box 16428, Denver, CO 80216-0428. Attorneys: William A. Hillhouse II, John P. Justus, HOSKIN, FARINA & KAMPF, Professional Corporation, 200 Grand Avenue, Suite 400, Post Office Box 40, Grand Junction, Colorado 81502. APPLICATION FOR DENVER BASIN WATER RIGHTS IN DOUGLAS COUNTY. Introduction: The Applicant, Smoky Hill Trail Estates, Inc., a Colorado corporation owns the lands described below. This application seeks to adjudicate the Applicant’s rights in the unadjudicated Denver Basin ground water underlying this property.

Names of Wells: The names of the wells to be constructed pursuant to this Application will be designated at the time that they are constructed.

However, these water rights will be referred to collectively as the “Denver Basin Water Rights” for the purposes of this application. Legal Description of the Wells: Applicant requests the right to locate wells at any point within the boundaries of the property described below, without the necessity of filing an amendment to this Application, republishing, or petitioning the Court for the opening of any decree hereafter entered. See 2 CCR 402-7, Rule 11. In addition, pursuant to the provision of 2 CCR 402-7, Rule 11, the Denver Basin Water Rights may be withdrawn from existing wells. There currently is one well permitted (Permit No. 65766) to the Lower Dawson formation on the property. Determination of Ground Water Rights: Applicant seeks a determination of rights to all available ground water in the Upper Dawson, Lower Dawson, Denver, Arapahoe and Laramie Fox-Hills Aquifers underlying approximately 291 acres located in the North half of Section 5, Township 6 South, Range 65 West of the 6th P.M., in Douglas County, Colorado, as more specifically described in Exhibits A and B to the Application (the “Property”). Applicant requests the right to withdraw and use all physically and legally available water from the Denver Basin aquifers underlying the Property. The ground water to be withdrawn from the Upper Dawson aquifer underlying the boundaries of the Property is “not nontributary” ground water, as defined by Section 37-90-103(10.7), C.R.S., and as defined by 2 CCR 402-6, Rule 5. The ground water in the Lower Dawson, Denver, Arapahoe and Laramie Fox-Hills Aquifers underlying the Property is “nontributary” ground water, as defined by Section 37-90-103-(10.5), C.R.S., and as defined by 2 CCR 402-6, Rule 5. Depth: The depth to the bottom of each aquifer will be ascertained at the time wells are constructed. The well depths will vary according to the actual topographical location of each of the wells and the depth of the aquifer at each location. Date of Appropriation: Not applicable. Pursuant to Sections 37-90102(2) and 37-92-305(11), C.R.S., the Denver Basin ground water rights that are the subject of this application are not subject to the doctrine of prior appropriation and need not include a date of initiation of the withdrawal project. How Appropriation Was Initiated: Not applicable. Pursuant to Sections 37-90-102(2) and 37-92305(11), C.R.S., the Denver Basin ground water rights that are the subject of this application are not subject to the doctrine of prior appropriation and need not include a date of initiation of the withdrawal project. Date Water Applied to Beneficial Use: Not applicable. Pursuant to Section 37-90-102(2), C.R.S., the Denver Basin ground water rights that are the subject of this application are not subject to the doctrine of prior appropriation and need not demonstrate diligence or application to beneficial use in any subsequent proceedings. Estimated Amount and Rate of Withdrawal: The quantities of Denver Basin ground water described below are estimated quantities, and Applicant requests that this Court retain jurisdiction pursuant to Section 37-92-305(11), C.R.S., for the purpose of adjusting the annual amount of withdrawal decreed from the Upper Dawson, Lower Dawson, Denver, Arapahoe, and Laramie Fox-Hills Aquifers, as they underlie the Property, to conform to actual local aquifer characteristics determined from well drilling or test holes. Not Nontributary Upper Dawson Aquifer: The estimated average number of feet of saturated aquifer materials in the not nontributary Upper Dawson Aquifer underlying portions of the Property is calculated to be 45.2 feet. Pursuant to 2 CCR 402-6, Rule 6, the specific yield of the Upper Dawson Aquifer is 20 %. Based on the overlying acreage of the Property (291 acres), less the area of existing cylinders of appropriation (136 acres), and an aquifer life of 100 years, the average annual amount of withdrawal is estimated as follows: 155 acres; 45.2 ft. saturated thickness; 20% specific yield; 1,401.2 total acre-feet; 14.0 acrefeet/year. Nontributary Lower Dawson Aquifer: The estimated average number of feet of saturated aquifer materials in the nontributary Lower Dawson Aquifer underlying portions of the Property is calculated to be 45.4 feet.

Based on the overlying acreage of the Property (291 acres), less the area of an existing cylinder of appropriation (27.3 acres), and an aquifer life of 100 years, the average annual amount of withdrawal is estimated as follows: 263.7 acres; 45.4 ft. saturated thickness; 20% specific yield; 2,394.4 total acre-feet; 23.9 acre-feet/year. Nontributary Denver Aquifer: The estimated average number of feet of saturated aquifer materials in the nontributary Denver Aquifer underlying portions of the Property is calculated to be 234.0 feet. Pursuant to 2 CCR 402-6, Rule 6, the specific yield of the nontributary Denver Aquifer is 17 %. Based on the overlying acreage of the Property (291 acres), less the area of an existing cylinder of appropriation (5.2 acres), and an aquifer life of 100 years, the average annual amount of withdrawal is estimated as follows: 285.8 acres; 234.0 ft. saturated thickness; 17% specific yield; 11,369.1 total acre-feet; 113.7 acre-feet/year. Nontributary Arapahoe Aquifer: The estimated average number of feet of saturated aquifer materials in the nontributary Arapahoe Aquifer underlying portions of the

The News-Press 45

ing portions of the Property is calculated to be 234.0 feet. Pursuant to 2 CCR 402-6, Rule 6, the specific yield of the nontributary Denver Aquifer is 17 %. Based on the overlying acreage of the Property (291 acres), less the area of an existing cylinder of appropriation (5.2 acres), and an aquifer life of 100 years, the average annual amount of withdrawal is estimated as follows: 285.8 acres; 234.0 ft. saturated thickness; 17% specific yield; 11,369.1 total acre-feet; 113.7 acre-feet/year.

Nontributary Laramie-Fox Hills Aquifer: The estimated average number of feet of saturated aquifer materials in the nontributary Laramie-Fox Hills Aquifer underlying portions of the Property is calculated to be 223.8 feet. Pursuant to 2 CCR 402-6, Rule 6, the specific yield of the nontributary Laramie-Fox Hills Aquifer is 15 %. Based on the overlying acreage of the Property, and an aquifer life of 100 years, the average annual amount of withdrawal is estimated as follows: 291 acres; 223.8 ft. saturated thickness; 15% specific yield; 9,768.9 total acre-feet; 97.7 acre-feet/year. Proposed Use: Applicant proposes to apply the water withdrawn from the Upper Dawson, Lower Dawson, Denver, Arapahoe, and Laramie-Fox Hills Aquifers to the following beneficial purposes: all uses needed for the development of and supply of water to Smoky Hill Trail Estates and/or other developments, residential use, including domestic and irrigation, water and wastewater treatment, street cleaning, dust control, firefighting, commercial, industrial, irrigation, stock watering, recreation, fish and wildlife uses, storage, augmentation, replacement and exchange, including reuse and successive uses until such water has been entirely consumed. The water may be used though immediate application to beneficial uses, for storage and subsequent application to beneficial uses, for exchange purposes, for replacement of depletions and for augmentation purposes. Name and Address of Owner of Land on Which Wells Will be Located: Smoky Hill Trail Estates, Inc., 4950 York Street, P.O. Box 16428, Denver, CO 80216. Remarks: A. The allowed annual amount of withdrawal may exceed the allowed average annual amount of withdrawal so long as the total volume of water withdrawn from each aquifer does not exceed the product of the number of years since the date of entry of a decree in this case, times the allowed average annual amount of withdrawal. 2 CCR 402-7, Rule 8A. B. Well permit applications will be filed with the Colorado Division of Water Resources (“State Engineer”) at such time as Applicant is ready to drill the wells to access the water rights described herein. Applicant requests a determination and order that the State Engineer shall issue well permits in accordance with the decree entered herein. Applicant further requests a determination that should Applicant fail to construct any well prior to the expiration of the corresponding well permit, Applicant may reapply to the State Engineer for a new well permit and the State Engineer shall issue a new permit identical to the expired well permit. C. Applicant asserts that the Denver Basin Water Rights that are the subject of this Application are not “conditional water rights,” as that term is defined by Section 37-92103(6), C.R.S., but are water rights determined

by Section 37-90-137, C.R.S. Therefore, Applicant requests that the Court enter an order finding and determining that the Applicant shall not be required to file applications for findings of reasonable diligence for the water rights that are the subject of this Application. D. Withdrawal of ground water from the nontributary aquifers will be subject to the relinquishment of 2% of the amount of water withdrawn as is required by Section 37-90-137(9)(b), C.R.S., and 2 CCR 402-6, Rule 8. E. Withdrawal of ground water from the not nontributary aquifer will be pursuant to a judicially approved plan for augmentation pursuant to Sections 37-90-137(9)(c) and (c.5), C.R.S. F. Applicant requests the right to construct such “Additional Wells,” as that term is defined pursuant to 2 CCR 402-7, Rule 4.A.1., and as may be required to maintain the annual appropriations for the New Denver Basin Water Rights determined herein. H. Applicant further requests, pursuant to 2 CCR 402-7, Rules 11 and 14, that once the Applicant constructs wells to withdraw water available to the Denver Basin Water Rights, that it may withdraw not only the total allowed annual amount of withdrawal for the parcel on which a well is located, but also the total allowed annual amount of withdrawal available from the same aquifer underlying any contiguous parcel of land from which Applicant has the right to withdraw the Denver Basin ground water underlying that contiguous parcel and the total allowed annual amount of withdrawal from any non-contiguous parcels identified by Applicant from which Applicant has the right to withdraw the Denver Basin ground water underlying that non-contiguous parcel, provided that the well or wells are located so that the cylinder or cylinders of appropriation, as defined and determined pursuant to 2 CCR 4027, Rule 4.A.7, for the well or wells overlap, at least in part, with the non-contiguous parcel whose allowable annual appropriation is to be withdrawn. Application is 8 pages in length.

Notice to Holders of Mortgages and Deeds of Trust for Properties within Orofino Place at Castle Pines Project

INVITATION TO BID 2017 Chip Seal Paving Project Consolidated Bell Mountain Ranch Metropolitan District Douglas County, Colorado

Re: Original notice dated June 7, 2017

Orofino Place at Castle Pines Unit Owners Association (“Association”) has published this notice as the Association is undertaking an amendment to the Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions of Orofino Place at Castle Pines, on April 12, 1985, at Reception No. 350732, in the real property records of Douglas County, Colorado, with subsequent amendments and supplements recorded on February 18, 1986, at Reception No. 375434; on January 30, 1995, at Reception No. 9504994; on June 28, 1999, at Reception No. 99057413; on July 23, 1999, at Reception No. 99064879; and on February 22, 2002, at Reception No. 02018551 (the “Original Declaration”). The Original Declaration requires that the Association submit the proposed amendment for approval by eligible first mortgagees with interests encumbering properties within the project. The Association is providing this notice to all first mortgagees, regardless of eligibility for notice under the Original Declaration.

Lender approval is being requested pursuant to the Original Declaration and Colorado Revised Statutes Section 38-33.3-217(1)(b). Approval does not require affirmative action or response; rather, your non-response will be deemed approval pursuant to Colorado Revised Statutes Section 38-33.3-217(1)(b). The Association must receive approval from sixty-seven percent (67%) of eligible first mortgagees for the amendment to pass. The amendment does not affect the priority or terms of your deed of trust.

In general, the Amended and Restated Declaration seeks to modernize the recorded covenants that govern the rights and responsibilities of the Association and owners. It incorporates terms that align with state statutes applicable to associations like Orofino Place at Castle Pines Unit Owners Association and excludes unnecessary references to the Declarant. The amended document goes into greater detail on maintenance and insurance obligations, aligns covenants with practices, and clarifies responsibilities between the Association and Lot Owners.

The Association will not respond to denials or requests for additional documents unless necessary to achieve approval of the Amended and Restated Declaration pursuant to Colorado Revised Statutes Section 38-33.3-217(1)(b).

You may obtain a copy of the proposed “Amended and Restated Declaration of Covenants and Restrictions of Orofino Place at Castle Pines Unit Owners Association” by submitting your written request to Winzenburg, Leff, Purvis & Payne, LLP, 8020 Shaffer Parkway, Suite 300, Littleton, CO 80127.
