MY NAME IS

LUIZA COSCIA

Homeschooling mom, author of book on educating About me I have a bachelor of science degree in engineering and earned my real-life Ph.D. in child behavior while raising and homeschooling my five children who required creative interventions due to special needs.

I’m still an engineer at heart, but now I solve different problems. Over the years working with numerous children/students and my own five children, I’ve developed a lot of strategies to bring the best out of any child. Instead of engineering technical systems, I now engineer practical strategies to empower children to live beyond their limitations and dispositions and be all that they can be. I refer to this as transforming a “diamond in the rough” to the brilliant gem.

Why I homeschool I have homeschooled our five children since our first child was little (currently expecting our sixth child). I chose this education format because I wanted to utilize my expertise and success in bringing my numerous tutoring students from C to A over the years, and my ability to bring the best out of a child. I love working with children and creating individual curricula that meet a child exactly where he/she is. I now use all of this expertise to help other children and parents through my company Harmonious Clan and my book.

Being an author My book is called “Outcast to Outstanding — The practical guide to understanding and addressing the drivers of your child’s behavior.” It teaches practical strategies to transform the “rough diamond” into the true gem that is the real child.

Many with great potential are masked by behavior struggles (overwhelmed, lack of focus, disorganized, defiant, etc.). These children can be mistaken as a “problem.”

Only when we polish away the roughness on the surface of the rock can the internal beauty shine through, revealing the gem. But behaviors are only the tip of the iceberg — you can’t fix behaviors until you address the underlying causes of behaviors beneath the waterline. My book reveals the underlying causes beneath the waterline and explains step-by-step exactly how to address them, so you can make lasting behavioral transformations and transform your child from a rough diamond to the true gem.

My hobbies Outside of homeschooling and helping other parents and children through my company, I enjoy spending time hiking on trails and outdoor activities with my family.

My mantra Every child has the potential to achieve great things; our job is to find the key to unlock it.

Backcountry Wilderness Area director Mark Giebel credits “rapid” response time from several agencies in the Denver metro area for the minimal impact of last week’s brush fire.

“The fire was quickly contained in a small area,” Giebel said. “None of the trail areas or program areas were impacted.”

The 46-acre fire started late in the afternoon Sept. 15 near the Highlands Ranch Law Enforcement Training Facility, 6001 Ron King Trail. Firefighters, including those from the West Douglas County and South Metro departments, quickly responded to what has been named the Range 5 Fire, a reference to a shooting range at the training facility. A spokesman for the Douglas County Sheriff ’s Office confirmed the fire started near the shooting range.

No injuries or damage to structures were reported. The cause of the fire remained under investigation as of Sept. 18, according to authorities.

The fire prompted a pre-evacuation notice for 3,300 homes in southern Highlands Ranch the evening of Sept. 15. A pre-evacuation notice is sent before an evacuation to notify residents that they are in a possible danger zone and to allow for time to prepare, according to Jason

A useful tool in emergency situations, such t as the Range 5 Fire, is Douglas County CodeRed, a phone emergency notification i h system that allows the sheriff’s office to send phone, email or text messages directly i a to residents. Sheriff’s office spokesman a Jason Blanchard describes the tool as a “smaller-scale, localized Amber Alert.” To t sign up, visit www.dcsheriff.net/emergency- p preparedness/be-informed-and-getp updates. o c d Blanchard, public information n officer for the sheriff ’s office. The notice was canceled at 8:30 p.m. as a crews, aided by a helicopter making t water drops, began to get a handle a on the blaze. Rain moved in later in the night, further helping their c i cause. c Residents quickly took to Facer book to express concerns and get updates. Several people posted aboutp the smoke, which was visible from miles away.

Sudha Chandrasekhara, who lives in Firelight, a neighborhood north of the Backcountry, recalls smelling smoke and feeling scared.

“We had packed our bags to leave for our friend’s house in Centennial,” she said.

The fire did not grow overnight, the sheriff ’s office said on Twitter.

More than 200 crew members were on scene the morning of Sept. 16, with air support on standby.

Firefighters spent the morning searching for hot spots and burning logs and digging a dirt line to prevent the fire from spreading, South Metro Fire Rescue said on Twitter.

The fire was 100 percent contained that afternoon.

Charter school location still under review by school board Milestone Academy would enroll 700 students to start, then double

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

An undeveloped field with rolling views of the Front Range could be the site of a bustling Castle Rock charter school come 2018. But some neighbors and officials are saying the proposed location could create traffic complications for neighbors.

Milestone Academy is planned on a pocket of unincorporated Douglas County land that’s surrounded by Castle Rock near the intersection of Plum Creek Parkway and North Ridge Road. In discussions at school board meetings, directors and county staff debated the potential traffic impacts and the sufficiency of community outreach conducted by the project. It will be back for further review by the Douglas County Board of Education in coming weeks, likely at the board’s Oct. 3 meeting.

Capstone Collegiate Academies hopes to open Milestone Academy in August of 2018. In its first phase, the K-10 school would accommodate 700 students, but at full build-out, officials expect to double enrollment and add older grade levels.

Capstone’s CEO, Merlin Holmes, told the school board on Aug. 15 that interest in the charter school was high, with 1,100 students and counting already signed up to enroll. Not all could be accepted until the project advanced beyond its first phase, although there is no timeline for future phases.

Milestone’s charter was first approved by the school district in 2016 on the condition it finds a suitable location — something that has proved difficult as the Douglas County Planning Commission raised concerns about the development’s impact on traffic within the community, if built at the location.

Because the project sits on unincorporated Douglas County land, it was required to go before the county’s planning commission before reaching the school board. Capstone purchased the land earlier this year

Milestone Academy hopes to open a K-10 school on this site, near the roundabout at Plum Creek Parkway and North Ridge Road in Castle Rock, by August 2018.

JESSICA GIBBS for the project.

Castle Rock owns both primary roads surrounding the project — Plum Creek Parkway and North Ridge Road — and the town would issue any access permits needed for the school to build along those streets. Each are two lanes wide.

The planning commission, which reviewed the project in July, mostly questioned the school’s ability to keep cars from backing up both roadways during pickup and drop-off, a concern also stated by residents who have addressed the school board.

Plum Creek Parkway and North Ridge Road are conjoined by a roundabout and planned for future expansion, said Dan Avery, who presented to the school board on behalf of the county’s planning commission on Aug. 15. Those road improvements could come in 2021 or 2022.

But traffic wasn’t the only red flag raised. The planning commission found developers’ community outreach in neighboring areas to be limited.

Numerous residents who spoke at the school board meeting on Aug. 15 said they were not opposed to a charter school but worried overflow from the school could worsen commuter times and overall traffic.

“My whole issue is the traffic,” said Castle Rock resident Cathy Brady, who explained winter weather creates dangerous conditions in the area. “We have a very difficult time getting out of our neighborhood.”

It was a point of concern for some school board members as well who weren’t satisfied when Holmes explained the school had “done extensive marketing” in Castle Rock and contacted the town’s homeowners associations.

“There’s a big difference in my opinion between marketing a school and trying to get people to enroll and actually partnering with the neighborhood and saying, `Hey, this is what we’re thinking about doing, we’d like to invite you in to collaborate with us,’ ” school board member Wendy Vogel said Aug. 15.

Nearby resident Dave Heim said he was unfamiliar with the proposed charter school but was open to family-friendly development in the area.

“I prefer a school,” Heim said when considering other potential development, naming bars as one.

But traffic could be a concern with a school, he said.

Fellow area resident Mike Osgood was also unfamiliar with the project but was enthusiastic toward the idea of another charter school coming to Castle Rock. Osgood said he had a positive experience enrolling his three daughters in charter schools, and believes the town may need more schools in the long term.

“Charter schools, I’ve loved them.

They worked really well,” he said.

“I think we’ll need it just because of growth.”

Holmes told the board they chose this site after first consulting with

the school district in search of district-owned land for the project. No district locations were large enough, he said, or were being reserved for future public schools.

“It became evident to us that we needed to find a property through the private means rather than using a district property,” Holmes said.

Perry Glantz, an attorney representing Capstone, said developers are confident that traffic would remain on-site through a staggered pick-up and drop-off schedule and by utilizing the nearly 40 acres on which the school would be built.

On Sept. 14, Glantz acknowledged there are “vocal opponents” to the project, but said Capstone was making an effort to connect with the community, including a community meeting scheduled for that evening.

“We’ve listened to every comment that we’ve received from neighbors, from the county, from the town of Castle Rock, and we’ve addressed them,” Glantz said. “We believe, we’re very confident, that we should be able to get the necessary approval of the planning commission for the project to go forward.”

The school board will review a new traffic plan for the school at its Oct. 3 meeting after Milestone presents it to the planning commission, scheduled for Sept. 18. If the project moves forward, it would still need to acquire roadway access permits from Castle Rock and pursue final construction permits, Glantz said.

Young Marines honor Navajo code talkers World War II soldiers played crucial role in Pacific STAFF REPORT

Eight members of the Mountain View Young Marines in Franktown joined other Young Marines in Window Rock, Arizona, to honor Navajo code talkers from World War II. “Navajo Code Talkers Day is an event that the Young Marines and the Navajo code talkers look forward to ev-

ery year,” said Brenda McNulty, Young Marines event coordinator. “Our partnership between the descendants of the Navajo code talkers and the Young Marines has strengthened year after year since 2006. It is a collaborative effort in which both parties create a successful event for everyone to enjoy.”

The Navajo code talkers took part in every assault the U.S. Marines conducted in the Pacific from 194245. They transmitted messages by telephone and radio in their native language, a code that the Japanese never broke.

For three days, the Young Marines served as escorts for the veterans and performed other duties.

“Just being around these special veterans makes us feel as though we could take a step back in time,” said Col. William P. Davis USMC (Ret.), national executive director and CEO of the Young Marines. “The Young Marines are assuring the legacy of these very special veterans. They will not be forgotten.”

Young Marines is a youth education and service program for boys and girls that focuses on character building,

leadership, self-discipline and promoting a healthy, drug-free lifestyle. The program is open to ages 8 through high school.

Young Marines develop friendships, many times that last into adulthood.

Besides Navajo Code Talkers Day, Young Marines attend leadership schools, visit places such as Pearl Harbor and American historical sites, participate in summer camps for sailing, simulated flying, cattle ranching, scuba diving, and more.

Fair provides resources on substance use DOUGLAS COUNTY YOUTH SUBSTANCE ABUSE PREVENTION COALITION

Goal is to start a conversation between young people, parents

The youth coalition was established in March 2016 as a component of the Douglas County Mental Health Initiative, a collaborative effort of several agencies in Douglas County - including mental health providers, law enforcement, first responders, local hospitals, the school district, human services, the district attorney’s office and others — to address mental health needs.

BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A teenage bedroom staged in the lunchroom of Douglas County High School revealed everyday items that young people may be using to conceal drug or alcohol use. Inside a hairbrush was a compartment for marijuana. A pill bottle was in a pillowcase. Batteries that store pills were in an Xbox controller.

The mock bedroom — which had more than 80 indicators of drug or alcohol use — was part of the first Substance Abuse Resource Fair, hosted by Douglas County High School and Douglas County Youth Substance Abuse Prevention Coalition, along with several mental health and addiction organizations in the region.

The goal of the fair was to connect parents with resources. Several booths lined the lunchroom, distributing information about recovery centers, parent support groups and treatment programs. Douglas County Sheriff ’s Office answered questions about the latest technology they are encountering on school grounds — including vape pens, small devices used to inhale nicotine or marijuana oils.

Allison Strawn, the high school’s nurse, spearheaded the fair after learning about a similar event hosted by Addiction is Real — a nonprofit organization that educates parents about drug and alcohol use — in St. Louis.

“We really felt it was important people know that they are not alone in this,” Strawn said. “It’s more of a prevention thing.”

The timing is fitting. September is Suicide Prevention Awareness Month and research shows that substance use and mental health oftentimes go handin-hand. In 2014, 7.9 million adults in the

Allison Strawn, a nurse at Douglas County High School, spearheaded a Sept. 14 Substance Use Resource Fair, which included a mock bedroom with more than 80 indicators of drug and alcohol use. “We want our kids to have that conversation beforehand,” she said of substance use among teens.

ALEX DEWIND U.S. had both a substance use disorder and mental illness, according to the National Institute of Mental Health.

Zac Hess, director of health, wellness and prevention of Douglas County School District, said he sees a stigma around substance use in Douglas County. The fair was an opportunity to give families tools to recognize the signs of and talk about substance use.

“We need to stay in front of it,” Hess said. “We just need to start talking.”

Last fall, Douglas County Youth Substance Abuse Prevention Coalition studied behaviors of 43 high school students in Castle Rock, Highlands Ranch, Parker and Lone Tree. Results revealed that alcohol is the number one problem, followed by marijuana. Prescription drug use isn’t as prevalent, said Steve Martinez, substance abuse prevention coordinator of Tri-County Health, a

partner of the coalition.

A 2013 Healthy Kids Colorado Survey of ninth- to 12th-graders in Douglas County showed that 27 percent of kids had alcohol in the past 30 days, compared to 31 percent statewide. The study also revealed that 77 percent of students felt they could ask a parent or guardian for help with a personal problem.

“Kids want to talk,” Hess said. “Parents don’t always know what to say.”

Douglas County High School principal Tony Kappas said the fair was a step in the right direction. Since joining the high school in 2004, he hasn’t lost a student to substance abuse, but wants to be proactive about the topic. He hopes the Substance Abuse Resource Fair happens four times a year at different schools in the district.

“We have so many resources,” Kappa said. “It takes a village.”

The youth coalition’s goals are to reduce underage drinking, prescription drug misuse and abuse and underage marijuana use. Its five strategies include: assess prevention needs based on data; build prevention capacity; develop a strategic plan; implement effective community prevention programs, policies, and practices; and evaluate their efforts for outcomes.

The coalition is funded by a grant from The Colorado Department of Human Services, Office of Behavioral Health. It includes a youth leadership board, open to teens ages 13-18, who engage in positive youth development and learn ways to prevent youth substance abuse among their peers in the community.

Larkspur looks to diversify revenue sources Encouraging development key approach to bolstering town funds

DOUGLAS COUNTY’S SMALLEST MUNICIPALITY Where do Larkspur’s borders begin and end, and how many people make up the population of this southern Douglas County town?

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

According to Town Manager Matt Krimmer, it’s a question the town answers frequently. Larkspur’s population as of the last U.S. Census was 187, although the Douglas County website estimates it at 195 as of Jan. 1, 2017.

That makes it by far the least populated city or

In early September, Kris Somers sat at a Larkspur Town Council meeting hoping to voice her concerns about a travel center development proposed north of town.

But she wasn’t hopeful her perspective would get though to council members.

“It’s a done deal,” she said, explaining she expected council would green light the project as it makes its way through the approval process.

Somers — a resident not of Larkspur but of nearby Perry Park East — isn’t alone.

Although this particular development is not without local support — other residents are drawn to the jobs and revenue it would generate — opponents feel their fears of increased traffic and a loss of open space aren’t being heard.

The balancing act between weighing public opinion and pursuing the town’s priorities can be a difficult road to walk, Councilmember Jeremiah Holmes said, because as the council considers development projects, which can be controversial, it is also considering the town’s financial resources and current

town in the county.

The Larkspur ZIP code as a whole, however, covers an area spanning from the Pike National Forest west of town to Elbert County to the east, and from County Line Road (the one bordering El Paso) on the south to Tomah and Quarry Roads on the north.

“Most area residents consider themselves Larkspur residents since Larkspur

business climate.

As of now, Town Manager Matt Krimmer said, those resources limit Larkspur’s ability to take on town projects, and it’s the costly projects that are beginning to stack up.

Namely, the town is finishing the construction of a new well and water treatment plant. The bill comes in around $7.3 million, Krimmer said. Larkspur — a town of fewer than 200 residents — is also in need of a wastewater treatment plant, he said. The town estimates that project could fall between $1 million and $4.5 million.

“Pretty much all we have to fall back on is the sales tax revenue, because property tax is pretty stable and we only

80118 is their mailing address,” Krimmer said.

Numerous communities within unincorporated Douglas County neighbor Larkspur, such as Perry Park, Sage Port and Bear Dance. In total, town officials estimate there are 4,000 homes within those neighboring communities.

If there are approximately 2.5 residents home, that brings the total Larkspurarea population to about 10,000.

get a small percentage of that,” Krimmer said.

The town also employs lodging and entertainment taxes, and draws revenue from various town fees.

But Krimmer explained about 58 percent of the town’s annual revenue comes from the Colorado Renaissance Festival, a fair that draws thousands of visitors from throughout the state to Larkspur each summer.

They would like to see that fall below 50 percent, Krimmer said. Encouraging development is one way the town hopes to bring in more and new revenue streams.

“We’ve been working on that for I’d say the last seven or eight years, trying

to incentivize businesses to expand or new businesses to come in,” Krimmer said.

Incentives are given on a case-by-case basis and depend on the type of development, he said. In some cases, the town offers reduced tap fees or tax rebates, incentives the council became more public with about five years ago.

“Do we need more revenue for the town? Absolutely,” Holmes said.

Both men named the water infrastructure projects as critical needs — particularly the expansion and rehab of Larkspur’s 35-year-old wastewater treatment plant. A new water treatment plant would hopefully bring in newer technology and improve the town’s water quality, Krimmer said. Water is mostly treated by chlorination and the town must flush the system once a month, he said.

In addition to water infrastructure, town added revenue would also help maintain town parks and support road maintenance.

In considering future developments like the travel center, Holmes holds a belief he says isn’t very popular — that although he will listen to residents in neighboring communities, his priority is for the constituents living within town limits.

“Their opinions matter and we do listen to what they have to say,” he said, “but my decisions that I make I’m trying to make for the betterment of the people in the town of Larkspur.”

Animal care preparedness The Douglas/Elbert County Animal Response Team is encouraging pet owners to make develop plans for animal care during emergency evacuations, including the transport of large animals to a designated shelter should that become necessary.

The Response Team boards large, small and domestic animals during times of evacuation caused by wildland fires and other natural or manmade disasters.

Primary shelters for evacuated animals are located in both Douglas and Elbert counties that can provide shelter, food and veterinary care for animals ranging from chickens to dogs, llamas, horses, cattle and more, though the team does not provide shelter space for commercial livestock.

For more information or to view the County’s Disaster Preparedness Guide, Team email DECART@douglas.co.us or call 303.814.4356.

Runners and vampires get scary for the 2012 Vampire 5K in Littleton. The 2017 event, hosted by Lauren and Scott Jones on Sept. 30 at Flat Acre Farms in Parker, will feature up to 500 runners and vampires to raise money for Bonfils Blood Center.

A bloody good time for Bonfils center Vampire 5K raises goose bumps, funds for donation centers

BY TOM SKELLEY TSKELLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Hundreds of people running for their lives from packs of bloodthirsty vampires may sound like a nightmare, but for Lauren Jones, organizer of the 2017 Vampire 5K at Flat Acre Farms in Parker on Sept. 30, it’s a dream come true.

Jones and her husband Scott host a number of fun runs to benefit local nonprofits around the Front Range, but it’s been five years since the last vampire-themed event in Littleton.

This year’s five-kilometer, noncompetitive fundraiser will raise awareness and funds for an appropriate beneficiary: Bonfils Blood Center.

“They found out about us at the last one, and we all thought it was a good partnership with the vampire theme,” Jones said. “Now is the time to bring it back to life.”

Flat Acre Farms in Parker will host the event just after the opening of its Fall Festival, featuring family activities that tie in with the fun run’s spooky theme. Costumes are encouraged, and participants can register to run through the course solo or in “clans” of four or more people.

Participants will receive a “Running Sucks” T-shirt, a free red beer after the event and discounted admission to Flat Acre’s Reaper’s Hollow. The run will conclude with music, dancing and costumed fun to “kick of the Halloween season in style,” as Jones put it.

IF YOU GO What: Vampire 5K fun run to benefit Bonfils Blood Centers of Colorado When: Sept. 30 at sunset Where: Flat Acres Farm, 11321 Dransfeldt Road, Parker Registration: email thevampire5k@gmail. com or go to the Vampire 5K website: vampire5k.com for registration or more information. Details are also available on the group’s Facebook page: facebook. com/events/143186612951174/. Children 8 and up are welcome, but children under 13 are required to partner with an adult for the course.

Fees: Citizen runners can register for $45 until Sept. 20, $50 between Sept. 20 and Sept. 30. “Clans” of four or more runners receive a $5 discount per person on teams of four or more. Vampires can register for $20 per “person” and receive a discount of $5 for clans of four or more.

Volunteers are still needed for the event and can register on the Vampire 5K website. Volunteers receive the same perks (T-shirts, a free beer, etc.) as runners.

Those seeking to ambush the runners as costumed vampires can also register alone or in clans, to lurk in the woods, abandoned buildings and creekbeds on the course and toss red powder on runners to mark them as undead victims.

Registration will be capped at 500 participants, and totals so far indicate they will reach that goal.

“There’s safety in numbers,” Jones said. “Whether it be a troop that runs together or a pack that hunts together.”

The funny thing about littering is that there’s nothing funny about littering QUIET DESPERATION

Craig Marshall Smith

J

ennifer and I just flew back from Detroit, and, boy, are our arms tired.

Michigan is my homeland, specifically Ann Arbor, and I thought that she should have at least one encounter with a University of Michigan home game in her lifetime.

If you haven’t been to one yourself, please consider this: on game day, the corner of East Main Street and South Stadium Boulevard is the sixth-largest city in the state of Michigan.

Alumni, old fans and new fans come from all over the world to attend a Wolverines football game.

Please consider this: The capacity of Sports Authority Field at Mile High is 76,125. The average attendance for a Michigan home game

is more than 112,000.

Jennifer and I woke in a hotel near the Detroit a, and watched Irma barrel through Florida on CNN. It began a day that neither one of us will ever forget.

From the hotel to Ann Arbor in a rental car on an autumn Saturday: 30 minutes.

We walked to the stadium (from a parking space I pre-arranged from my home computer) past the high school where Iggy Pop and I would have been classmates if the Smiths hadn’t skipped town.

The stadium was opened in 1927, and there have been a number of expansions. The latest one was the addition of skyboxes on top of the skyboxes on top of the skyboxes.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Always put people first While I was heartened to read David Gilbert’s story of Susan and Pat Mooney’s efforts to create Tall Tales Ranch, I was also discouraged by the reporting.

While I’ve only been in the field of human services for some 28 years, I’ve seen a lot of changes and a lot of things sadly stay the same.

One of the most positive changes has been efforts to eradicate the “R” word, although I still occasionally hear it used by younger folks and bad comics. But it’s been many, many years that we in human service have demanded that the respectful term be: “PEOPLE with disabilities.”

It’s people first. I lost track of how many times both the reporter and the Mooneys put the label “disabled” before people. Now if this seems like I am nitpicking, that it isn’t that big a deal, I am not and it is a big deal.

If the Mooneys wish to take on this monumental and courageous task, as noble as it is necessary, then it’s going to take a lot a of money and empathy. Fact is that most people without direct experience with a person with a disability find it difficult to relate. And forget politicians for most of our folks don’t vote and therefore don’t count. And so good luck counting on them.

No. The Mooneys must make the case to the money powers that be that these are people first.

That there but for the grace of God go you or I. And everyone is a possible victim of a traumatic brain injury, or of having a child born with a developmental disability. Some are just more fortunate than others like people with disabilities. I sincerely wish the Mooneys the very best in making Tall Tales Ranch a great success and role model for other such endeavors.

Elevate DC school board candidates along with an article about DougCo schools titled, “Test scores show growth, room for improvement.” It seems our students are doing better than ever, but you’d never know that listening to the antiElevate folks.

Contrary to the image they want to convey, the anti-Elevate candidates are not a merry quad of “grassroots” residents driven to run in order to correct problems created by the board’s reformers. They are supported by a group called Douglas County Parents, a registered political committee. I believe if elected they would likely bring back the teacher’s union and return DCSD to the days of paying hundreds of thousands of dollars per year in union salaries, automatic pay raises for all teachers (regardless of performance) and discrimination against charter schools, vouchers and school choice.

In fact, along with higher test scores, changes made by the “reform boards,” have significantly reduced administrative spending, while increasing the percentage of educational funds that go to the classroom. Reductions in school funding have come from cuts to the education budget made by our liberal-dominated state government. In addition, graduation rates in our district as well as average ACT scores have gone up, online fiscal transparency has been instituted and school choice has greatly increased.

While change is never easy, recent reforms have earned DCSD a reputation for innovation and creativity in education not the stagnant, “same-ol,’ same-ol,’” policies dictated by the teacher’s union. A vote for the Elevate team — Ryan Abresch, Grant Nelson, Deb Scheffel and Randy Mills — is a vote for continued leadership in education that has not only resulted in better test scores, but that puts students first, offers families a host of education options and is fiscally responsible.

The music is too loud and the playlist is abhorrent — just like it is at CU games — but by halftime we both had lost our hearing, which was a partial blessing, because the halftime musical theme was a tribute to John Williams and the upcoming “Star Wars XXXVII” fatuity.

We stayed in the stadium after the game, and watched 112,000 people leave, and leave about 112,000 pounds of litter.

I said, “Bingo.”

Jennifer said, “What?”

“My next column: Why do people litter?”

Don’t look away from what the mirror is trying to tell you

T

ypically the first person we greet each morning is ourselves.

Whether we are washing up, brushing WINNING our teeth, WORDS shaving, putting on some makeup or combing or brushing our hair, our first interaction is looking straight into our own Michael Norton eyes.

We may be thinking about the day ahead of us, maybe remembering all or at least part of a dream we had last night, we may be scrutinizing or judging our appearance, and we may even be reflecting on something we have done or said. Perhaps something we didn’t say or didn’t do either.

You probably know just as many people as I do who spend more time in front of a mirror than most others do. They are constantly looking at themselves throughout the day.

In the morning they want to make sure they look just right, and in some cases absolutely

perfect. And in the evenings, while brushing their teeth or getting ready for bed, they do the once-over one more time to see how they look. And throughout the day, every opportunity at something where they can see their own reflection they take advantage of it.

The car window, the rearview mirror, a storefront covered in glass, and even a mirror app on their phone.

While many people do check themselves out throughout the day, from that first greeting through to the end of the day, some will also look to the mirror for answers. “Am I strong enough to handle today?” “Did I do the right thing earlier?”

“Is it time for a change?” “Am I who I want to be and where I want to be?” And although we may think that the mirror doesn’t talk back, I would offer that it does talk back and does so 100 percent of the time.

You see, it’s not the mirror’s ability to talk back to us that’s the problem. Most times, it is our unwillingness to hear the mirror or hold ourselves accountable to what the mirror is saying.

We all know what we should

Rule is reminder that consumers need to pay attention to titles

he new Department of Labor (DOL) rule, also called the Fiduciary Rule, has created a bit of confusion for investors. It also threw many brokerage FINANCIAL rms into a tumult STRATEGIES fiover revamping procedures under the new regulation.

The intent of the rule is very good, but getting everyone who overlaps with the financial services industry on the same page Patricia Kummer is a major undertaking. Hence the implementation of the rule has been delayed again.

The DOL Fiduciary Rule simply states something the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has always required: That advisors must put their clients’ interests before their own. Yet consumers may not know the difference between a fiduciary who is paid as an advisor or a broker who is paid for products.

There may be significant differences between working with an independently registered firm (with the SEC) versus a bank or insurance company where their business does not fall under investment regulation.

One quick way for the consumer to seek advisors who are fiduciaries is to ask for their ADV. This is the Advisory document required by the SEC each year for independent

advisors. When a firm has submitted an ADV it tells you several things.

First, that they must be a fiduciary since the SEC requires this of all financial planners and advisors who are independently registered with them. Independent registration may provide more objective advice as opposed to falling under a brokerage umbrella.

Secondly, the ADV will clearly state how an advisor manages money, charges fees, discloses conflicts of interest and provides research and advice. Whatever the advisor puts in their ADV is now auditable by the regulators, so advisors take this very seriously.

One major difference between the two fiduciary rules is that the DOL only covers retirement plans, such as 401(k) plans and IRAs. Independent Registered Investment Advisors adopt the fiduciary standard on all investments and advice. Here are five simple questions that are all answered in the ADV that you can use to evaluate your advisor.

1. What education, certification and experience do you have? Most certifications such as the Certified Financial Planner ® designation have minimum education and experience requirements as well as a Code of Ethics.

2. How are investment recommendations selected? Make sure there is an independent analysis prior to investing such as a financial plan or Investment Policy. It is important that all financial needs are viewed holistically including taxes, estates,

retirement and risk and income needs. Make sure the investment choices are not synonymous with the name on the letterhead. Independent research should provide you more custom portfolio design.

3. What are your conflicts of interest? This should include any sponsorship or company affiliations that impact how an advisor is compensated beyond your fees.

4. What are your fees? This should include how they are calculated and reported.

5. What does the long-term relationship look like? You should expect to have ongoing reviews available to you and to be encouraged to update your financial plan and ask questions at any time. This includes progress reports and adjustments as needed including tax law changes, market fluctuations and economic updates in addition to your own individual needs as they change.

In summary, you don’t have to worry about the DOL rule and when and if it is ever implemented if your advisor is a Certified Financial Planner® and Registered Investment Advisor. Both the Board of Certified Financial Planners and the SEC hold fiduciary standards and professional code of conduct as minimum requirements for their advisors. And you should too.

Kids deserve healthy start, and we can help provide it

hen you work in public health, programs that substantially improve the health and well-being for thousands are the gold standard.

This is especially true when the beneficiaries are kids, who all deserve a healthy start, and pregnant women, who are helping to launch the next generation.

But today in Colorado, we’re in danger of losing a program that achieves this standard, and our elected officials simply should not let that happen.

At issue is funding for the Children’s Health Insurance Program, or CHP+, as it is known in Colorado. This funding is set to expire unless Congress acts by Sept. 30.

In Colorado, this would mean the loss of about $250 million annually, which has been a source of healthy starts for kids for nearly 20 years since the program was passed with bipartisan support. More than 90,000 kids and pregnant women who were covered by CHP+ over the last year in our state stand to lose care if the funding goes away. In the Denver metro area alone, more than 45,000

kids and pregnant GUEST women used this COLUMN program during 2016 to get access to quality, affordable health care.

CHP+ was designed by Colorado to meet our state’s specific needs, and it helps thousands of working families who make too much John Douglas money to qualify for Medicaid, but too little to afford private insurance. The working families who are covered by the program simply don’t have the option to switch to private insurance and will likely be forced to have their kids go without coverage if the program goes away. For example, the maximum annual enrollment fee for a family on CHP+ is $75 or about $6.25 per month. By contrast, the cheapest catastrophic health plan in Denver for a child is $103 monthly — a 1,500 percent increase. And such SEE DOUGLAS, P20

The

big cheese Alamo Drafthouse Chef Ian Patrick serves up the “Grown Up Grilled Cheese,” a favorite on the menu at the theater’s cafe. Seth Rexroad, designer of their menu, says the grilled cheese sandwich is like the different genres of rock ’n’ rollthat evolve through the years from the same basic structure.

Local chefs stick to a staple when concocting their menus

C

hef John Wu and his wife Hong came to the United States to pursue their dreams.

John’s was to be a chemist.

Hong’s was to run a restaurant.

After finishing his master’s degree in chemistry at the University of Texas El Paso, Wu opted to go with his wife’s plan, and in 2016, they opened Sizzle in Centennial. He had one condition: He would use the expertise he would have used to make chemical compounds to achieve balance between the flavors of Sizzle’s version of the grilled cheese sandwich.

“It’s a simple, homemade option,” Hong says. “It’s light, it’s something you can eat if you’re vegetarian, and it’s simple. Kids and adults like it.”

Food trends come and go in cycles, and a wave of grilled cheese-themed restaurants have come, and in some cases gone, in the Denver metro

WHAT’S IN THEM? The Alamo Drafthouse: “Grown Up Grilled Cheese” • Sourdough bread • Mozzarella and goat cheeses • Spinach and tomato The Urban Egg: “Elevated” Grilled Cheese • Sourdough bread area over the last few years.

But customers come back to the grilled cheese for a variety of reasons, some seeking a low-cost option, others looking for a melted, meatless choice to chew.

Wu and other area chefs have established a safe space for the foodie favorite on their menus by adding their own twists to the time-tested toastie.

Blends, balance and a bowl Cheese isn’t a staple of Asian cuisine, but Wu says his version of the classic American sandwich is a fusion of Asian skill and American style. He doesn’t give away the recipe for his “SG Grilled Cheese,” other than revealing it has a soy base and that he uses a blend of American, Swiss and cheddar. For carnivores, Wu adds a sweet bratwurst or some honey baked ham.

At the Urban Egg’s locations in Highlands Ranch and Greenwood Village, balanc-

• Havarti and Swiss cheeses • Fresh basil, sliced tomato • A drizzle of Colorado honey Sizzle Grill: “SG Grilled Cheese” • White bread • Swiss, American and cheddar cheeses ing textures is as important as finding complementary flavors.

“It’s a balance of crunchy on the outside and a gooey inside,” says General Manager Brennan Price, alluding to the sourdough bread the Egg’s chefs base their sandwich on.

Price’s father and owner of the restaurants, Randy, says his restaurant’s take on the sandwich has been a customer favorite since the Highlands Ranch store opened 2 1/2 years ago. The Brennan’s version, they call it the “elevated grilled cheese,” features a blend of Havarti and Swiss cheeses, paired with fresh basil and tomato.

But one last ingredient sets their sandwich apart — Colorado honey.

“It adds a level of sweetness that really complements the basil. Those two ingredients together make all the difference,” Brennan says.

SEE CHEESE, P17

Chef John Wu , owner of Sizzle Grill in Centannial, admires his cheesy concoction. The restaurant’s walls feature photos of repeat customers many of whom return for one of the three grilled cheese variations.

CHEESE FROM PAGE 16

Any entree needs a good side dish, and the grilled cheese can usually be found surrounded by French fries or Brennan’s favorite dipping dish: a bowl of soup. Indeed, though each restaurant puts their own spin on the sandwich, one thing working in their favor is the fact that most of their customers have been eating the fare since childhood.

“It’s comfort food, for sure,” he says.

The Seattle sound of sandwiches Alamo Drafthouse chef and menu designer Seth Rexroad describes his cheesy concoction as “comfort food you can eat in the dark,” a significant stipulation for his movie-going clientele.

out the edges. Ian Patrick, the chef at the theater chain’s Littleton location, says his grill typically has one or more of the toasties on its surface at any given time.

“It’s definitely a standard,” Patrick says. “It’s all about the tang from the goat cheese.”

Rexroad says he constantly monitors food trends around the U.S. and noticed a surge in grilled cheese sandwiches around the early 2000s that later fizzled out. He put it on the Drafthouse menu in 2013 and tried different variations throughout the years, including wrapping the sandwiches in bacon and filling them with macaroni and cheese.

Gimmicks and interesting ingredients aside, he says he’s confident the sandwich will always be in heavy rotation.

“I think of it like grunge music,” Rexroad says. “It’s all rock ‘n’ roll, it just keeps coming back in different forms.”

‘My Brilliant Divorce’ took winding route to reach stage in Denver One-woman show is treat for audiences at Avenue Theater

BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Winners announced Sept. 28th!

Longtime Highlands Ranch resident Richard Pegg, who grew up and was trained in the UK, has been involved in 193 theatrical productions in Colorado: as director, set designer and three times in small parts as an actor, he said. When such a person travels, he of course attends theater productions. “A play that’s been on my bucket list for 13 years is now in production at the Avenue Theater!” he wrote to us recently. “My Brilliant Divorce” is running in Denver through Oct. 14.

While in London, he enjoyed “My Brilliant Divorce,” by Geraldine Aron, starring Dawn French — a one-woman play with “40 pages of dense script.”

He initially thought of it as a vehicle for skilled actress Paige Larson, who operated Miners Alley Playhouse in Golden with husband Rick Bernstein.

They loved it, but thought the script needed some adjustments for an American audience.

Pegg contacted the publisher of the English version, Samuel French, who said it was not available through them. Nor was it available from Dramatists, the other main U.S. play publisher with rights for plays. In 2007, an Americanized version came to Pegg, directly from the playwright, and Pegg renewed his option on it and started to rehearse with Larson. The he got an email rescinding the rights because a New York producer had taken a five-year option on the play — an offer Geraldine couldn’t turn down.

Forward to late 2013, the rights were again available, but Rick and Paige

IF YOU GO “MY BRILLIANT DIVORCE” by Geraldine Aron plays through Oct. 15 at the Avenue Theater, 417 17th Ave., Denver. Performances: 7:30 p.m. Fridays, Saturdays; 4 p.m. Sundays.

Tickets: $27.50. had decided to sell Miners Alley and move to West Virginia. Other small theaters were reluctant to take on a one-woman show.

“I even looked at producing it myself at the Aurora Fox, where I had directed `Red Hot Patriot’” (about journalist Molly Ivins). It is still showing at spots across the nation with local actress Rhonda Brown, Pegg said.

“As happens with so many shows/ scripts, theaters become unavailable, scheduling conflicts arise, stars become detached, etc., etc. An endless cycle of triumphs and failures …”

“In late 2016, I had the Avenue as the venue, with an award-winning actress, Emma Messenger very keen to play the role … The Avenue’s landlords (a nonprofit board) threw a spanner into the works! This caused then-Executive Director John Ashton to throw in the towel too, so our planned production with Emma evaporated as well. “ He renegotiated with present Executive Director Dave Shirley, but by then, Messenger was not available — and is booked for the next year … Pegg focused on Dave’s wife, Jane Shirley, also a brilliant actress, best known for improv comedy.

She is indeed “brilliant” in bringing the complicated tale of an American trying to divorce a Brit, impersonating a number of characters she deals with, and not missing a beat. The show is enhanced by some well-done projection work, a simple set and well-timed sound effects. It offers an entertaining diversion for the audience, who found much to laugh about

(Audio guides available in English and Spanish.) Strange creatures evolved in isolation in Africa, South America and Madagascar. The Sonya Ellingboe supercontinent Pangaea gradually broke apart and formed today’s continents, carrying various dinosaur species as pieces of continents drifted. From the tiny Eoraptor to the massive Gigantosaurus, visitors can indulge the “inner 8-year-old,” as the DMNS puts it. The exhibit, with 17 fully articulated skeletons and dozens of fossils and casts, was created by the Royal Ontario Museum, Toronto, and toured by the Science Museum of Minnesota. For more information: dmns.org/ultimatedinos.

Principal dancer Chandra Kuykendall, who grew up and started dancing in Parker, begins her 20th season and will be the primary Lucy. Information: coloradoballet.org or call 303-837-8888, ext. 2. Recommended for ages 12 and over.

‘Deportee’ at ACC On June 28, 1948, 28 Mexican citizens were being repatriated from Oakland, California, in a plane that crashed. They were not widely identified and were buried in unmarked graves in Fresno. Singer/activist Woody Guthrie and Martin Hoffman wrote a song, “Deportee (Plane Wreck at Los Gatos).” Author Tim C. Hernandez (“All They Will Call You”) has spent years locating and interviewing family members of the passengers, including the pilots, and presents a free program with musician Daniel Grandbois and a Q&A with the author.

SMITH FROM PAGE 12

German said.

There was trash under the seats everywhere you looked.

Remember Keep America Beautiful’s 1971 “crying Indian” campaign?

Their recent study about littering gives two main reasons: contextual variables and personal variables.

Contextual variables include “availability of trash cans, the accumulative impact of other litter in the area, and even weather.”

Personal variables include “age, awareness, attitudes, and feelings of personal responsibility.”

The study showed that “15 percent of littering behavior had to do with contextual demands and 85 percent had to do with personal variables.”

There were plenty of trash cans everywhere, and Michigan head coach Jim Harbaugh is featured in a big screen plea

for fans to dispose of litter responsibly.

Neither mattered.

Older people are less likely to litter than younger people, the study showed. I hope they didn’t spend too much time or money figuring that one out.

Have you ever seen a carload of kids toss fast food leftovers out the window?

Littering isn’t just an incidental lapse in accountability and civility.

Over nine billion tons of litter ends up in the ocean every year. Over 11 billion dollars is spent every year to clean up litter.

I am not campaigning myself. Littering is an inevitability, and I am fully resigned to it.

The explanation is this: People will be people.

Most of us know what the mirror is saying, we just don’t want to listen or we make excuses to justify why we can’t or won’t do something or stand up for someone or something. Mirrors are a reflection of what is in front of them. And unless they are a trick mirror or carnival mirror, they also do not tell lies.

a catastrophic health plan would still expose families to very high out-of-pocket costs, including large deductibles, which are estimated to be thousands of dollars greater than those under CHP+ coverage.

You don’t need to be a public health official to understand the value of a program like this one. Kids covered by CHP+ are more likely to have a regular primary care doctor and thus less likely to be hospitalized for a problem that could

So it doesn’t matter if it is that first greeting in the morning, the glances throughout the day, or that last look in the evening, we know what the mirror is saying don’t we? The mirror is the procrastinator’s worst nightmare. When the mirror is telling us to do something we need to do it. It’s not the eyes of others who are looking at us, those are our own eyes that are looking right back into our soul, our heart, and our goals and dreams.

What are we supposed to do when the mirror talks back? We are to listen and we are to take

act.

How about you? Are the mirrors in your life speaking to you? The bigger question is this, are you listening and taking action?

have been treated at a primary care visit. Common sense and research tell us that healthy kids are better learners in the classroom, have fewer absences from school, and are better prepared as they enter adulthood. Kids with health coverage are less likely to drop out of high school, more likely to graduate from college, and have higher incomes as adults.

With so much attention over the past six months to a possible repeal and replacement of the Affordable Care Act, the importance of continuing the Children’s Health Insurance Program has been lost in the shuffle. We simply can’t allow programs like this

one — with a proven track record and thousands relying on it — to simply go away. Our elected officials in Congress need to work together and act rapidly to preserve it. Even at this deeply contentious time in our national politics, we can all agree that kids deserve the healthiest start possible to maximize their potential.

A proven bipartisan program like CHP+ deserves the support of Colorado’s entire congressional delegation.

ohl Schultz didn’t wrestle with boredom this summer.

The 16-year-old Ponderosa junior traveled around Europe from Austria to Serbia to Finland to Sweden OVERTIME to France and finally to Greece.

He returned home as the first American Cadet World Greco-Roman wrestling champion in 20 years.

Schultz did have some time to see some European attractions, Jim Benton but wrestling was the main reason he spent the summer in Europe training and competing in junior and Cadet tournaments.

“It was a little tough being away from home for so long,” said Schultz, who is a two-time 220-pound Colorado state champion. “I really had to focus on what my goals were.”

He obtained one of his goals Sept.

5 in Athens when he got a takedown with 12 seconds remaining to earn a 3-1 win over Hungary’s Balint Vatzi in the 100-kilogram world title Greco match.

“It was awesome,” said Schultz. “It sounds great, world champion.”

Greco-Roman wrestling differs from freestyle because you can only do takedowns by attacking the upper body of the opponent and can’t grab a foe below the waist.

In freestyle wrestling, participants can use their legs as both offensive and defensive weapons and single and double-leg takedowns are common.

The Cadet age-group classification is 16- and 17-year-old wrestlers, but Schultz also competed in a couple junior tournaments for wrestlers born after Sept. 1, 1997 plus those enrolled in grades 9-12.

“I like Greco more, but honestly it’s all just wrestling,” Schultz said.

USA Greco-Roman assistant coach Momir Petkovic knew Schultz would be a Greco-Roman standout when he first saw him.

“His body type has no weak spot,” explained Petkovic. “Greco is more physical. To throw somebody you need explosive power. When I saw him for the first time, he was 13 or 14 and I said this kid has no weak spots. He could be a great Greco representative for this country.”

There was an assembly at Ponderosa on Sept. 13 to honor Schultz, who plans to continue wrestling for the Mustangs this winter. A group of Pondo pom girls wore special Schultz T-shirts that said “World Champion” and got fros in reference to Schulz’s Afro hairstyle.

“It was great,” said Schultz. “I really didn’t have too much to say. It was crazy.

There were so many people.”

By any name, there’s no substitute for their support Backups play key roles on high school teams but must maintain the right mind-set

BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORDOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

They are the players who rarely hear their names over the public address system despite their hard work in practices.

They are the players who have some of the most difficult jobs on the team.

They see limited varsity playing time but have to be upbeat, supportive, attentive and ready if their name is called.

They are called role players, nonstarters, backups, reserves, substitutes and by some, bench-warmers.

“I try to tell my girls all the time that regardless of what your role is, coming off the bench is a harder role and probably a more important role,” Arvada West girls volleyball coach Debbie Pospisil said. “You have to be able to perform at this level for maybe one or two points, versus having the opportunity to play for 25 points.

“It’s harder mentally to be a role player than maybe to be a person that is expected to be out there and be your go-to kid. It’s hard because we do expect them to cheer and do those things but they also have to know and understand what is going on in the game.”

And that goes for reserves in almost all sports.

“Everybody, especially in a football program, has their role,” Douglas County football coach Gene Hill said.

“I had a talk with our sophomores and juniors the other day. They get frustrated because they don’t get a lot of playing time.

“A lot of times young guys have to start being scout-team guys preparing those varsity guys for Friday night games and then having to go play their game on Saturday.”

Sophomore lineman Sean Wulforst is on the Rock Canyon football scout team but figures hard work will pay dividends.

“I’m still part of the team,” he said.

“I know I’ll make it to varsity if I just work as hard as I can. I watch the varsity play, I see what they are doing and do the same thing they do.

“It is pretty frustrating especially when I’m on the scout team and they are just taking reps on me, but sometimes I do get to suit up and go to the varsity game. If I want to be where they are and not be on the practice squad, then I have to be better than them. I can’t just go through the motions because I’m on the bottom of the totem pole.”

Legacy senior reserve linebacker/ tight end Austin Perri contributes on the Lightning bench.

“Even if you’re not playing, if you are on the sidelines, you want to make sure everybody is paying attention and focused,” Perri said.

Arapahoe High School softball players cheer on their teammates in the field as a Thomas Jefferson player prepares for an at-bat on Sept. 15. Arapahoe won 6-5.

JIM BENTON “During the games, you want to make sure everyone is hyping up the people that are on the field.”

Randy Freeman is a first-year soccer coach at Douglas County and said he didn’t want to start off his tenure by Perri cutting some of the team’s seniors.

“We talked before the season that their playing times would be very limited, “ he said.

Huskies senior Zachary Dizdar accepted the coach’s position.

“I consider myself more in a leadership role especially since I’m not seeing a lot Dizdar of playing time,” he said. “My role is better suited on the bench at this point because we’re developing some younger players. It’s frustrating, but I understand there is a greater purpose. I wouldn’t be doing this if all these guys weren’t some of my closest friends.”

There are times when reserves become regulars, like at Horizon when four starters on the softball team were out because of injuries.

“A full roster is so important for practice, especially when doing drills and situation work,” coach Gary Mares said. “Having players at new positions is very challenging to maintain continuity. Plus, depth provides motivation and competition.”

Senior Angie Hults is a reserve first basemen who wants to be in the lineup but knows her role on the Arapahoe softball team.

“I think of myself as a positive role model,” she said. “I’ve had my fair

share of frustrations and I’ve mentally cracked a couple times, but it is LTAC_CCM_9.15.17.pdf 9/11/2017 2:00:46 PM more about being proud1 of myself

after it’s over. I can still be positive and play a huge role on the team even if I am sitting on the bench.”

“ They transcend time, bringing out the inner youth from older generations, creating a new sound for younger generations to enjoy.”

Senior Chris Theodore’s 15:23 set the new boys standard while sophomore Hope James ran a record 18:30.

• Junior quarterback Adam Mullen has been effective so far this season and has a 118.3 quarterback rating in three games. He has completed 32 of 62 passes for 601 yards with eight touchdowns and one interception.

• Senior infielder Shelby Lamkin is pacing the softball team with a .630 batting average and a .667 on-base percentage.

Carleton, 3261 Estates Circle, Larkspur, CO 80118, phone 719.964.6850, e-mail owen.carleton@outlook.com I. APPLICATION FOR DENVER BASIN WATER RIGHTS . 1.

Names of wells and permit, registration, or denial numbers: Permit No. 266283 2. Legal description of wells: Permit No. 266283 is constructed in the Dawson aquifer in the SE1/4 SW/14 Section 30, T. 10 S., R. 66 W., 6th P.M., 907 feet from the south section line and 1791 feet from the east section line. One well in each of the Denver, Arapahoe and Laramie-Fox Hills aquifers is contemplated, plus all necessary additional and/or replacement wells, to be located anywhere on Applicant’s 4.77 acre property, the legal description of which is Tract I Assembly Estates in Douglas County (the “Property”). The address of the Property is 3261 Estates Circle, Larkspur, CO 80118. A map showing the general location of the property is attached as Figure 1; a second more detailed map is attached as Figure 2. 3. Sources: not nontributary Dawson aquifer; nontributary Denver aquifer; nontributary Arapahoe aquifer; nontributary Laramie-Fox Hills aquifer. 4. A. Date of appropriation: Not applicable. 4.B. How appropriation was initiated: Not applicable. 4.C. Date water applied to beneficial use: Not applicable. 5. Amount claimed: Dawson aquifer - 15 gpm, 386 acre feet absolute; Denver aquifer - 15 g.p.m., 453 acre feet absolute; Arapahoe aquifer - 150 g.p.m., 239 acre feet, absolute; Laramie-Fox Hills aquifer 150 g.p.m., 149 acre feet, absolute. The water court will be asked to retain jurisdiction over such decree to enter a final determination of the amount of water available for appropriation from each aquifer based on geophysical logs for such wells. 6. Proposed uses: Drinking, cooking and sanitary purposes inside a primary house and a guest house/detached home office; commercial for crop irrigation; stock water; hot tub/spa and/or swimming pool; lawn and garden irrigation; other landscaping features; fire suppression; augmentation through septic system return flows. 7. Name and address of owner of land on which wells are/will be located: Same as Applicants. II. APPLICATION FOR APPROVAL OF PLAN FOR AUGMENTATION. 8. Name of structures to be augmented: Well permit 266283. No other water rights are or will be diverted from that well. After entry of a decree, permit 266283 will be re-permitted consistent with the provisions of the augmentation plan. 9.

Previous decrees for water rights to be used for augmentation: None. 10. Historic use: Not applicable. 11. Statement of plan for augmentation: Well permit 266283 is only permitted for indoor residential uses. Applicants seek approval of a plan for augmentation which will allow multiple uses from this structure, including without limitation indoor residential and commercial uses, crop irrigation for personal and commercial purposes, landscape irrigation, a detached home office or guest house, livestock water, hot tub and/or swimming pool, and augmentation of depletions through septic system return flows. Indoor use for the primary house is conservatively expected to be no less than 0.2 acre foot annually. Treatment of waste water from indoor uses will be achieved using a nonevaporative individual septic tank and leach field system; the State Engineer conservatively estimates than annual return flows from water so treated will no be less than 0.18 acre foot. Such return flows will accrue to tributaries of the South Platte River. This plan for augmentation will allow annual pumping not to exceed 0.75 acre foot over a 300 year period, based upon estimated depletions of 24 percent of pumping in the 300th year.

By observing that pumping limitation, septic system return flows will equal or exceed the 0.18 acre foot of maximum stream depletions during the pumping period. Change of the type of wastewater treatment to a central sewage treatment with direct discharge to any tributary of the South Platte River shall not require an amendment to this plan for augmentation, but change to any other type of waste water disposal shall require an amendment. Applicants propose to replace depletions during pumping with return flows from the nonevaporative septic system return flows, and to replace post-pumping depletions with the nontributary Denver aquifer water decreed herein, approximately 198 acre feet of which will be reserved for that purpose. Applicants will reserve the right to replace such depletions with any other judicially acceptable source of augmentation water, upon judicial approval after appropriate notice. 12. Miscellaneous provisions. (1) There is one lien against the Applicants’ property. The lienor has been notified of this application as required by C.R.S. 37-92302(2)(b). See Exhibit A. (2) This application is being filed in Water Divisions 1 and 2. After the period for filing statements of opposition has expired, Applicants will seek to consolidate the two cases in Division 1, where the Property is located. (3) Applicants reserve the right to make minor changes in the amounts claimed for appropriation and in the allowable amounts to be pumped annually under the augmentation plan, based on variations between the information currently available to Applicants and the inform-

ants’ property. The lienor has been notified of this application as required by C.R.S. 37-92302(2)(b). See Exhibit A. (2) This application is being filed in Water Divisions 1 and 2.

Source of Water Rights: The Upper Dawson aquifer is not nontributary as described in Sections 37-90-103(10.7), C.R.S., and the Lower Dawson, Denver, Arapahoe and Laramie-Fox Hills aquifers are nontributary as described in Section 37-90-103(10.5), C.R.S. Estimated Amounts: Upper Dawson: 9 acre-feet, Lower Dawson: 10 acre-feet, Denver: 16 acre-feet, Arapahoe: 20 acre-feet, Laramie-Fox Hills: 9 acrefeet. Proposed Use: Domestic, commercial, industrial, irrigation, livestock watering, fire protection, and augmentation purposes, including storage, both on and off the Subject Property.

Groundwater to be augmented: All of the available Upper Dawson aquifer groundwater as requested herein. Water rights for augmentation: Return flows from the use of not nontributary and nontributary groundwater and direct discharge of nontributary ground water. Statement of plan for augmentation: The Upper Dawson aquifer water will be used for in house use in up to two residences, irrigation of lawn, garden, pasture and trees, stockwatering, use in a veterinary clinic, barns, and stables, fire protection, and storage. Applicants reserve the right to revise these uses without having to amend the application or republish the same. Sewage treatment for in house use will be provided by nonevaporative septic systems and return flow from in house and irrigation use will be approximately 90% and 15% of that use, respectively.

During pumping Applicants will replace actual depletions to the affected stream system pursuant to Section 37-90-137(9)(c.5), C.R.S. Depletions occur to the Cherry Creek stream system.

Return flows accrue to the South Platte River via the Cherry Creek stream system, and those return flows are sufficient to replace actual depletions while the subject groundwater is being pumped. Applicants will reserve an equal amount of nontributary groundwater underlying the Subject Property to meet post pumping augmentation requirements. Further, Applicants pray that this Court grant the application and for such other relief as seems proper in the premises. (7 pages).

Once in the South Platte River, these Arkansas River water rights are reusable sources for the exchanges herein. These exchanges were originally decreed in Case No. 86CW63. A decree in this matter decreeing part of this right absolute and finding diligence on the remainder was granted on January 5, 2016 in Water Division 2, Case No. 15CW3029. 4.2.2.2. Payment for purchase and lease of Rocky Ford Ditch shares: During this diligence period, Aurora spent more than $2,708,000 during this diligence period for repayment of bonds, including principal and interest, that were issued or refunded for purchase of original Rocky Ford Ditch shares changed in Case No. 83CW18, that are a reusable source for the exchanges herein. 4.2.2.3. Revegetation: Aurora has expended at least $1,913,000 during this diligence period for revegetation, including expenditures for expert revegetation classifications and reports, actual revegetation and weed control costs, as well as farm equipment purchases, office overhead and personnel costs, under Case No. 83CW18. Aurora also expended an additional $1,413,000 for revegetation and continued farming of historically irrigated lands pursuant to the decree in Case No. 99CW169(A).

4.2.2.4. Payments to Otero County: Aurora and Otero County entered into an Intergovernmental Agreement on February 22, 1994, and amended that Agreement on October 29, 2001 under which Amendment Aurora agreed to make annual payments to Otero County concerning the Rocky Ford Ditch shares that are a reusable source for the exchanges herein. During the diligence period, Aurora made payments in excess of $222,000. 4.2.2.5. Pueblo Reservoir Storage: During the diligence period, Aurora paid the Bureau of Reclamation more than $3,328,000 for use of Pueblo Reservoir in the storage and exchange of Arkansas River Basin water upstream for transport and use by Aurora in the South Platte Basin. 4.2.2.6. Intergovernmental Agreement with SECWCD. On October 3, 2003, Aurora entered into an Intergovernmental Agreement with the Southeastern Colorado Water Conservancy District (“SECWCD”), replacing an agreement between the parties dated December 7, 2001. Aurora’s use of Fryingpan-Arkansas facilities for certain water rights is discussed under this IGA. During the diligence period, Aurora made payments of more than $1,086,000 to SECWCD under this IGA. 4.2.2.7. Agreements for Use of the Holbrook Reservoir System Facilities: On March 1, 2005, Aurora entered into two agreements pertaining to the use of the diversion, conveyance and storage facilities of the Holbrook Mutual Irrigating Company (“Holbrook”). Aurora and Holbrook extended this agreement on February 2, 2010. These agreements implement a program to recapture and store yield from foregone diversions of senior water rights. Aurora completed structural modifications to the Holbrook system facilities and filed a Substitute Water Supply Plan necessary to implement the program. An Amended Agreement was entered into on April 21, 2016. Further, Aurora initiated a study to examine enlargement of the Holbrook Reservoir to further facilitate operations. During this diligence period, Aurora made payments of approximately $195,000 to Holbrook under this agreement. 4.2.2.8. Intergovernmental Agreement with LAVWCD: Pursuant to an Intergovernmental Agreement with the Lower Arkansas Valley Water Conservation District (“LAVWCD”), Aurora paid approximately $1,250,000 to LAVWCD for the identification and implementation of infrastructure improvements, research, and investigations designed to assist in the permitting or implementation of water leasing programs in the Lower Arkansas Valley, as well as remediation and restoration efforts in the Fountain Creek Corridor. 4.2.2.9. Recovery of Yield (“ROY”): On August 17, 2016, Aurora, along with Colorado Springs, the Pueblo Board of Water Works, the City of Fountain, and the Southeastern Colorado Water Conservancy District, obtained a decree in Case No. 06CW120 adjudicating exchanges necessary as a result of the 2004 Regional Intergovernmental Agreement (“IGA”) between the various water providers and the City of Pueblo, whereby the water providers agreed to allow certain of their senior flows to pass through Pueblo’s RICD reaches on the condition those flows could be removed downstream and exchanged back upstream.

This case lays the foundation for those exchanges. Aurora expended significant sums on these efforts during the diligence period.

4.2.2.10. Gravel Pit Storage. Aurora is pursuing gravel pit storage options on the Arkansas River downstream from Pueblo Reservoir to allow storage of its water rights for eventual exchange to Pueblo Reservoir. These stored rights will facilitate Aurora’s Arkansas River Basin operation, including delivery of the reusable water for the exchanges herein. During the diligence period, Aurora spent approximately $108,000 toward this effort. 4.2.3. Colorado River Basin: Aurora made the following diligent efforts with regard to its water supply system components in the Colorado River Basin that are necessary for continuation of its reusable supplies from the Colorado River Basin. 4.2.3.1. Aurora has continued to pursue development of a joint project or projects as contemplated in a 1998 Memorandum of Understanding with Vail Associates, Upper Eagle River Regional Water Authority, Eagle River Water and Sanitation District, Cypress Climax Mining Company and the Colorado River Water Conservation District. On June 21, 2004, the City of Aurora entered into an additional Water Exchange Agreement with the Eagle Park Reservoir Company, the Colorado River Water Conservation District, the Eagle River Water and Sanitation District, the Upper Eagle Regional Water Authority, and Vail Associates, Inc. to supplement a 1998 Water Exchange Agreement. This agreement affects operations of the Homestake water rights and deliveries of reusable water to Aurora for use in the exchanges herein. On January 5, 2010, the City of Aurora entered into a Consolidated Water Exchange Agreement to supplement, merge and consolidate the 1998 and 2004 agreements. Aurora seeks to further maximize the operations of the Homestake water rights with these projects. 4.2.3.2. Homestake Project: During this diligence period, work was done on the Homestake Diversion Channel to reduce erosion, including riprap and installation of a new roadway culvert. Additionally, Homestake Reservoir underwent resurfacing and improvement. Once water is transported over the Continental Divide through the Otero Pump Station and Homestake Pipeline, it is then transported to Spinney Mountain Reservoir in the South Platte Basin. 4.2.3.3. During this diligence period, Aurora and Colorado Springs as the Homestake Partners, along with Vail Associates, Upper Eagle River Regional Water Authority, Eagle River Water and Sanitation District, Cypress Climax Mining Company and the Colorado River Water Conservation District, prosecuted Case No. 16CW3131, Water Division 5. On June 18, 2017, the Division 5 Water Court entered a decree confirming diligence and continuing in effect the conditional water rights originally decreed in Case No. 98CW270, which comprise part of the Homestake Project. 4.2.3.4. During this diligence period on March 31, 2017 Aurora and the City of Colorado Springs jointly filed Case No. 17CW3064 seeking diligence on the Homestake Project exchanges originally decreed in Case No. 95CW272(A), Water Division 5. 4.2.3.5. During this diligence period, Aurora has negotiated and executed a Recovery Action Plan Participation Agreement with the Northern Colorado Water Conservancy District, and a Ruedi Insurance Water Cost Participation Agreement with the City and County of Denver. The purpose of these agreements is to mitigate the impacts of transmountain diversions to Colorado’s front range in order to support the Recovery Implementation Program for Endangered Fish Species in the Upper Colorado River Basin. 4.2.4. Non-Basin Specific: 4.2.4.1. Protection Efforts: During this diligence period, Aurora spent more than $1,000,000 on legal services for participation in Water Divisions 1, 2 and 5 cases to protect the rights and interests of Aurora with regard to its water supply system. 4.2.4.2. Study of Aurora’s Water Needs.

During this diligence period, Aurora spent more than $3,182,000 toward engineering and planning studies to assist in determining the City’s future water needs and a plan to meet those needs. 4.2.4.3. Aurora Raw Water System Model. During this diligence period, Aurora spent more than $82,000 for consultant fees to develop and support a computer model of Aurora’s raw water system.

These costs are in addition to the modeling efforts included in the engineering and planning studies identified in paragraph 4.2.4.2., above. 4.2.4.4. Aurora reserves the right to identify additional relevant efforts that may be later discovered or to make upward adjustments to amounts expended on certain projects. Aurora has an extensive water rights portfolio, an extensive and complex water supply, collection, treatment and reuse system, and an extensive number of agreements, contracts, leases, etc. related to its facilities and the use, reuse and storage of its water rights. It is involved in many legal actions related to the collection, treatment, reuse and protection of its water rights. Further, the management, protection, and operation of the water rights and the facilities system involve numerous City of Aurora departments and staff members throughout the state. Aurora made diligent efforts with regard to this application to determine and quantify all efforts made by the City toward completion of the appropriations and application of the water rights decreed in the Original Decree to beneficial use. However, it is reasonably possible that relevant efforts or expenditures may have been overlooked or need further upward adjustment. 5.
