Winners emerge in Englewood elections Certification ongoing after initial results made public

By Tom Munds tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia.com While results of the Nov. 3 election remain unofficial pending certification later this month, results posted on Nov. 4 show the apparent winners in races for Englewood City Council and Englewood School Board and outcomes of votes on the two city ballot issues.

The contenders for Englewood City Council who received the most votes in their races were incumbent Joe Jefferson, who was unopposed in District 1; Laurett Barrentine in District 3; and Rita Russell and Amy Marti-

nez in the contest to select two at-large representatives.

In the Englewood School Board contest for three seats, the most votes reported Nov. 4 were received by Sharon Scheminske, Kevin Ebert and Dagan Thomas.

There were no results posted for write-in candidate Gary Richardson, but those could come during the election

certification process.

There were two City of Englewood questions on the ballot and both appear to have passed.

Jefferson was assured of re-election as the District 1 council representative as he was unopposed. The unofficial results show he received 953 votes which were all the votes case for that council seat.

“I knew I would return to the council since I didn’t have an opponent,” he said. “I am excited to go to work with the new council that includes three new people. I think we can work together to get things done that are good for our city.”

He said he wasn’t really surprised by the election results because he felt those who worked hardest on their campaigns prevailed.

More than 100 vendors display wares at Malley holiday event

Students and faculty members gathered around Nov. 6 to hold and look at the 12 ornaments they created that will be part of the National Parks Foundation’s Celebration of Ornaments from Across the USA at Presidents Park adjacent to the White House in Washington, D.C. Bishop Elementary’s creations will be part of the display during the Dec. 3 National Christmas Tree Lighting ceremonies.

In the letter announcing Bishop’s selection to decorate ornaments, the National Parks Foundation stated there would be ornaments from the all of America’s states, territories and the District of Columbia.

Those creating ornaments were asked to use the national parks and their programs as their inspiration.

The Malley Holiday Bazaar offered an opportunity for people in search of gifts to check out the merchandise of 106 vendors.

A large number of vendors offered handmade items like holiday decorations and jewelry, as well as knitted and crocheted items like scarves and doilies.

Ursula Pansini: World War II bride

FACES AMONG US

HELLO

...

My Name Is

A glimpse of the people in our community

By Jennifer Smith jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com

LES PEATS Grandpa, retired real-estate executive My background I’m a retired real-estate broker. My wife, Janel, and I have three grown kids and 11 grandkids. One of my sons is a teacher at Arapahoe High School. I grew up in Colorado Springs and went to Giant Mountain High School. It’s a military town with a tattoo parlor on every corner.

So I have several tattoos. We’d get some 3.2 beer and go out and get one on a dare.

My hobbies and interests I like golf, and I hit the gym every day, like my oldest grandson. He’s an awardwinning body builder and a personal trainer. Wonder where he got it? And I like pickleball. It’s the fastest-growing sport in the United States. I like it because it’s both physical and social. And we go to the movies sometimes. We just saw the new 007, James Bond.

What are you proudest of?

I’m proudest of my achievements.

My children and grandchildren, and the company I owned for 18 years, Golden Eagle Properties. I laid a lot of the groundwork for the gambling up in Blackhawk and Central City. I was even on “Good Morning America,” but not live.

The local noon news interviewed, and “Good Morning America” picked it up. I

Les Peats is a retired real-estate broker who played a role in bringing gambling to Blackhawk and Central City. Photo by Jennifer Smith was outselling all the real-estate companies back then, in 1990. I was successful in owning it until retirement. Now I have retirement jobs. I sell some home improvement, and I spent four months last summer with the U.S. Census Bureau, interviewing people for the American Housing Survey.

What was your biggest adventure?

I’ve traveled a lot. I’ve visited every state, and we have a second home in Florida. That’s why I sell home improvement, so I can travel. What they say about me on Classmates.com is that I’m nice and wild. One time, on the spur of the moment, we rented a van and took a 5,000-mile road trip, and we took the dog.

We had no itinerary. We drove through Florida and Wisconsin. Another time, we flew into Newark, rented a car and visited all the New England states, then Canada, Quebec, Montreal. Then we ditched the car and took the train to Toronto. We stayed in the Hilton penthouse, had some drinks and played the grand piano. We went to CN Tower the next day, the tallest structure in North America.

In a sense, Ursula Pansini married the enemy.

Pansini was born Ursula Steuernagel in Bremerhaven, Germany. She grew up with the constant threat of World War II literally flying overhead.

“We had to survive the war,” she said.

“It was very stressful and scary. There was just one big attack, but it destroyed the whole town, practically. We didn’t know if it was British or American.”

But after the war was over, during the occupation, she happened to meet a handsome young American soldier, Cpl. Jack Pansini, while walking in a park near her home.

“At first we weren’t quite sure,” she laughs now, 67 years and five kids later.

He swept her off her feet and home to America in 1950, where they settled first in Brooklyn.

“It was different, very different,” she said. “When you come from a war-torn country where you don’t have anything, and all of a sudden all of these beautiful things are there, it was amazing.”

These days, her husband looks after the American flags at Buck Recreation

Center and Littleton’s World War II Memorial on behalf of the Pat Hannon Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 4666 and George C. Evans American Legion Post 103.

When either of them need a little TLC, he brings them home for her to tend to.

“I love it,” she said. “I know this is my country now, and that’s exactly how I look at it. … We are very happy together. We have a wonderful life, and we have a great family.”

She’s even written a poem to honor men like her husband. It reads, in part: “They knew that they were needed, to keep our country free, so let us thank them, one and all, for that important part, that they now play in our lives.”

Ursula Pansini was a young woman in war-ravaged Germany when she met a young American soldier and fell in love.

Incumbents retain council seats Former mayor Doug Clark returns to council in at-large role

By Jennifer Smith jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com The Littleton City Council election seems to indicate voters are pretty happy with the direction the city has been going in.

In the at-large race, incumbent Peggy Cole held her seat, winning a four-year term with 39 percent of the vote Nov. 3. She will be joined by former mayor Doug Clark, who garnered 35 percent of the vote for the two-year term. Andrea Brown had 26 percent of Cole the vote.

Clark is replacing Councilmember Bruce Stahlman, who did not run for re-election.

Cole, who earned 6,430 votes, has been a part of Littleton for more than 40 years and taught English and literature at Arapahoe Community College for 36 years. She and her husband, Jim, have lived in the Sterne Park neighborClark hood since 1977. She has a master’s degree in English and a doctorate in administration, supervision and curriculum development.

“I’m honored, and interested to continue encouraging citizen input and in serving the way I have for eight years,” said Cole. “I really feel humbled, and I met a lot of wonderful people in all Brinkman parts of the city, and lots of young people with children.”

Clark netted 5,686 votes. Now retired, he has lived in Littleton for 27 years. He and his wife of 29 years, Cathy, raised their two grown daughters in the St. Mary’s Church neighborhood. Clark, who grew up in the Phoenix area, attended Northern Arizona University and graduated in 1977 with a bachelor’s degree in philosophy.

“I am honored the citizens of Littleton have entrusted me to represent them on council,” said Clark.

“I think the first priority for the council should be to

conduct their business in public and document their meetings in written minutes.”

The District 4 race, which many considered the one to watch, pitted former allies against each other.

Incumbent Debbie Brinkman emerged the victor with 53 percent of the vote to Carol Brzeczek’s 47 percent.

Brzeczek actually won in Arapahoe County by 40 votes, but voters in Jefferson and Douglas counties put Brinkman over the top.

Brinkman, who got 1,686 votes, is a self-employed professional organizer and interior designer who has lived in Littleton for 13 years. She lives in the Wolhurst neighborhood with Willie, her cocker spaniel. She holds a bachelor’s degree in journalism from the University of Northern Colorado.

She is council’s liaison to the regional Hopping South Platte Working Group.

“I’m proud to continue to serve this community, and will continue doing a lot of the things we’re doing,” said Brinkman.

Bill Hopping won decisively in District 1, with 60 percent of the vote.

He earned 1,237 votes to challenger Brenda Stokes’ 818.

Valdes Hopping is a Littleton High School graduate and Army veteran. He was appointed to his seat in April, and now will finish out the last two years of the term. He earned an MBA from the University of Denver and is president of W.R. Hopping and Company, a hotel consulting firm that offers market feasibility and appraisal services nationwide from his Main Street offices.

“I’m delighted,” said Hopping. “It’s humbling to have that many people vote for you. When you’re appointed, you don’t really feel like you can dig in and get to work. Now I get two years that I can really get in there.”

Jerry Valdes was not surprised to win 100 percent of the vote in District 2, considering he was running unopposed.

Seven of the 10 ballot issues passed. Failing were the ones that would have eliminated outdated processes regarding health services and a volunteer fire department, railroad crossings and sales of water rights.

As one enters the gallery of “The Littleton Story in 125 Objects” at the Littleton Museum, a blast of colorful shapes and objects is gathered in the center of the room, looking almost like a magical village.

Museum celebrates 125 years of Littleton Items from collection offer insights about city’s past

By Sonya Ellingboe sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia.com The door to a local barbershop leads the way into a community’s information hub, where a newspaper carrier’s bag (Littleton Independent) waits as if ready to take information out into that community. Next to the carrier’s bag is a dark hat worn in years past by Independent editor Houstoun Waring as he walked up Main Street gathering news tidbits and local advertising.

The Littleton Museum’s celebration of Littleton’s 125 years as a city is a cleverly

arranged exhibit of 125 relevant items from its extensive collection. Each item has a little story attached and a booklet is available in the gallery which lists them all — in some cases with the source.

The newspaper carrier’s bag, for instance, was donated by Nina and Garrett Ray. Garrett was editor and co-owner of the Littleton Independent following Waring. The No. 1 item is a child’s autograph book, donated by former Independent publisher/owner Edwin Bemis, while a soda fountain on display once sat in the Sell-4-Less Drugstore at 2500 W. Main St. A colorful shovel, painted by Littleton artist Meredith Wilson, is one of nine commissioned by the Writer Corporation for the groundbreaking of the Riverfront Festival Center on Sept. 24, 1984.

At the back of the gallery, a copy of “Small Town Editor” runs on a screen.

Visitors will find a film about Waring, made by the U.S. Information Agency and State Department and sent around the world. In Bega, New South Wales, Australia, editor Curly Annabel saw it and invited Waring to visit, starting a sister city exchange that continues today, with the next Littleton group traveling to Bega in April 2016.

Larger items include a Firehose Cart that belonged to the J.G. Lilley Hook and Ladder Company, organized in 1890, and an enormous grandfather clock (circa 1860) that belonged to Virginia and Frank Hirth, who lived on Souith Windermere Street from 1927 to 1979.

South Metro Health Allliance lays off staff Funding struggles looming for organizations across state

By Jennifer Smith jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com Just six years after its inception and four years after hiring staff, the South Metro Health Alliance has had to go staffless.

“It is with great sadness then that I need to let you know that SMHA’s general operating funding has come to an end,” wrote Val Purser, the SMHA’s executive director, in announcing the move on Nov. 5. “Traci (Jones, communications specialist) and I have been working diligently with our board to try to find other sustainability, but alas, it just has not come together quickly enough for us. Last week, the SMHA board of directors had to make the difficult decision to end our employment.”

SMHA is an outgrowth of the Littleton Immigrant Integration Initiative, which recognized the need for a way to connect the dots among the wide array of healthcare resources in Arapahoe and Douglas counties, especially for the uninsured and underinsured. Purser and Jones were

Funding ran out to keep Val Purser, left, and Traci Jones employed. They were the only staff at the South Metro Health Alliance. Courtesy photo hired in 2011 with a $175,000 boost from the Colorado Health Foundation.

“Hopefully we have made a positive impact for our community in some tangible way to access this complicated and seemingly broken health-care system,” said Purser. “There is so much work yet

Grants go to local arts agencies Nearly $600,000 will be split among 46 regional organizations

By Shanna Fortier sfortier@coloradocommunitymedia.com Forty-six arts organizations will receive Scientific and Cultural Facilities grants following Oct. 27 action by the Douglas County commissioners. The tax-funded grants awarded by the commissioners total $596,986.

The SCFD is a special tax district in the Denver metro area that supports art, culture and science organizations that enrich the community. Funding comes from a 0.1 percent sales tax.

Two organizations received grants in the amount of $102,513.17 to assist with general operations: Cherokee Ranch and Castle Foundation in Sedalia and the Highlands Ranch Cultural Affairs Association.

The Highlands Ranch Cultural Affairs Association is a sister organization of the Highlands Ranch Community Association.

It produces events and collaborates with other organizations for events with a primary purpose of providing enlightenment and entertainment to the residents of Highlands Ranch.

“The grant is obviously very important to our organization because it gives us the ability to put on about 40 different community programs a year,” said Jamie Noebel, director of community relations and events. “It gives us the ability to do some really neat, fun programs that are educational for the community.”

Some of those programs include the annual Oktoberfest, the summer concert series, Denver Pops and the winter cultural series.

“We think they compete with programs that are going on downtown,” Noebel said, adding that the events are affordable and close to home. “I think there are so many opportunities right here in our back yard that are available. People need to plug into their community.”

to be done, and I know that our SMHA partners and members will continue to work together to ensure that there is no wrong door for someone seeking access to health care.”

Purser explains that in 2009, there were only nine health alliances in Colorado;

today there are 28, all facing the same challenges as historic funding sources shift focus to programs and away from operating expenses. La Plata County Health Care Alliance recently laid off its staff, as well.

“We are now all competing for the same funding streams from the local foundations, which has also become challenging,” said Purser.

The board will continue to work with the Colorado Coalition for the Medically Underserved to figure out a way forward, said Purser. In the meantime, resource fairs and other events, like a panel discussion on race and health held just a week prior to the announcement, will wind down.

Jones has found other employment, and Purser says she is exploring new opportunities.

“I am sincerely hopeful that the leadership of the founding board and current board members, as well as great leaders at CCMU, will come up with workable solutions before more of these great neutral conveners and backbone support organizations have to suspend their good program work,” said Purser. “We are so very grateful to have had this beautiful opportunity to serve our community.”

Golf courses prepare for winter weather South Suburban sites never officially close; play depends on weather

By Mike DiFerdinando mdiferdinando@coloradocommunitymedia.com Since 2011, there hasn’t been one month in which people didn’t play golf at Lone Tree Golf Club. In fact, December 2011 is the only month in the last eight years when people didn’t play.

“Rarely are there any months in Colorado where people don’t play,” said South Suburban Parks and Recreation Golf Director Bill Ramsey.

As fall turns to winter, Ramsey will start taking precautions to winterize the

courses he watches over — Lone Tree Golf and Country Club, South Suburban Golf Club, Family Sports Golf and Littleton Golf Course.

Typically, November is when he starts preparing the courses for winter, Ramsey said.

“Our primary and most important issue is the irrigation system, obviously, because that a high-dollar repair if there are some freezes,” he said.

The irrigation system of the South Suburban golf courses sits about 2 or 3 feet underground and takes two or three days to blow out with large air compressors and get rid of any moisture.

The fairways are allowed to die out in the winter months, but the putting greens require special attention.

“We just let them go dormant like any

other grass in Colorado would do as it starts getting colder,” Ramsey said. “We really don’t protect anything but the greens with chemicals. We spray anti-snow-mold material on the greens to keep the fungus from growing.”

The greens are more susceptible because of the type of grass — bent grass — and the fact that they are mowed really short. How the greens are cared for during the winter months is critical to how the course will play in the spring “If you get a little bit of snow mold on your bluegrass at home, it’s not a big deal.

But snow mold can really cause some damage to the greens,” Ramsey said.

The golf courses never truly close. It’s up to Mother Nature to decide when conditions are playable.

Last December, the Lone Tree Golf Club

had 576 players the whole month. In June of the same year the course hosted 5,000.

During the winter months, courses may institute cart-path-only rules to protect the fairways and greens. South Suburban will also cover the driving range tees and practice greens during the winter to protect them from the cold.

The cold weather will also occasionally lead to reduced rates to draw people in. For those more weary of the cold, the driving range at Family Sports in Centennial offers heaters.

“I’ve seen players tee off in single digits,” Ramsey said. “We want to give golfers the opportunity to play during those winter months. If they have been off the golf course for two to three weeks, they start to get a little bit of cabin fever.”

Election Continued from Page 1

In the District 3 race, Barrentine received 668 votes, or 45.69 percent; Lewis Fowler received 554 votes, or 37.21 percent; and John Grazulis received 242 votes, or 17.10 percent.

“It appears I have been elected,” Barrentine said on Nov. 4. “I believe my experience in both winning and losing elections gave me an edge in the race, but you never know until the votes are counted.”

She said she is ready to go to work and is looking forward to having a voice in council decisions instead of having to carry petitions to try to get issues resolved in the best interest of Englewood residents.

There were four candidates for two at-large council seats, with Rita Russell and Amy Martinez the apparent winners. The posted totals showed Russell received 3,064 votes, or 34.19 percent, while Martinez received 2,546 votes, or 28.41 percent. Candidate Danielle Holley received 1,982

votes, or 22.21 percent, and Amber Lee Jorgensen received 1,370 votes, or 15.91 percent.

In the school board race, the unofficial results posted Nov. 4 showed Scheminske received 2,871 votes, or 34.61 percent; Ebert received 2,805 votes, or 33.81 percent; and Thomas received 2,621 votes, or 31.58 percent. The certification process still ongoing will reveal any votes for write-in candidate Richardson.

Ebert said he was pleased to be re-elected.

“I am glad the election is behind us and I am ready for the board to get back to work,” he said. “I think the election went well. All the candidates respected each other and it was very uneventful, which was just fine with me.”

Scheminske said she felt good about the results and is looking forward to getting to work. Thomas agreed and added he will wait until the results are final before celebrating.

All three school board members said they are ready to begin work to help the school district deal with the challenges it faces.

Residents also were asked to vote on two city ballot questions. Ballot Issue 2K asked voters to allow the sale of some parcels of land in Douglas County owned by the utility department at the end of a lease period of at least 20 years. The question had received 2,943 yes votes, or 52.37 percent, while the 2,677 no votes totaled 47.63 percent.

Ballot Issue 2L asked voters to approving changes to the charter rules governing special elections, so that special elections would not be held within 45 days of a general municipal or state election. The question had received 3,244 yes votes, or 59.7 percent, while the 2,190 no votes totaled 40.3 percent.

over the years. If I stay healthy, you can look for me to be back again next year.”

Charles Hay Elementary School had a vendor booth with a variety of items made by students.

Twins Kai and Cruz Gutierrez were staffing the booth with their mother and talked about the discs they created as the center piece of a necklace.

“We got to pick the colors of the

Alison Kauffman had a booth in the Malley gymnasium offering holiday wreaths and decorations.

“My mother lived in Englewood and told me about the bazaar so I came,” she said as she created an ornamental Christmas tree. “It is my first craft fair. I like the event, but I hope customers will buy my items.”

Honor guard is volunteer duty Teams provide traditional rites at military funerals

By Tom Munds tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia.com When Harry Giglio receives a call requesting the services of Littleton’s American Legion Post 103 All Veterans Honor Guard, he begins going down a list of more than 20 names until he has the volunteers to handle the detail.

“The calls are usually to serve as the honor guard at a military funeral ceremony,” Gigilo said. “Many of the funerals are at Fort Logan National Cemetery, but the honor guard also does military funeral ceremonies at other cemeteries in the area. We also are the honor guard at the ceremonies held at Littleton’s World War II Memorial on Memorial Day and on Veterans Day.” Kathy Kraski, who works to assist all the honor guard groups, said that calls come in and are routed to the next team, and

they will enlist the volunteers to provide the services.

“We have 11 members on an honor guard,” the Douglas County resident said.

“We have a commander who conducts the services, a chaplain who delivers the prayers, a rifle detail to fire the 21-gun salute and a bugler to play taps.”

Colorado’s All Veterans Honor Guard was formed in 1994, the year after the military services announced they would no longer provide honor guards. Currently, about 100 veterans are part of honor guards based in veterans’ organizations from Aurora, Arvada, Castle Rock, Littleton, Lakewood and Englewood-Sheridan.

Gigilo, a Vietnam veteran, said he became an honor guard volunteer in 2001.

“I wanted to do what I could to honor fellow veterans,” he said.

He said his group is called on frequently. Last year, they provided teams for 220 services.

Kraski agreed the groups are in

Parenting leads to laughs in new book Writer, illustrator join forces; humorous item is great gift

By Sonya Ellingboe sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia.com A new book’s publishing date is Nov. 17 and the whole title is: “Science of Parenthood: Thoroughly Unscientific Explanations for Utterly Baffling Parenting Situations,” which may impart a bit of the flavor.

Where else will you find a pie chart for “Where your kid’s food goes?” (Down front of shirt, wadded in napkin, submerged in glass of milk, in dog’s mouth, in pants pocket, smuggled to bathroom in mouth, then into toilet, etc.)

Divided into sections labeled Biology, Chemistry, Physics and Math, the writer and illustrator who created the book address food, communications, other parents, schools, birthday parties, getting a toddler dressed and out the door and much more.

(Funny for grandmas, too.)

It started as a parenting blog by Norine Dworkin McDaniel, who had been a freelance magazine writer until magazines all downsized, according to illustrator Jessica Ziegler, who has lived in Highlands Ranch for eight years.

The two met in Las Vegas when they both lived there — but didn’t want to raise kids there. Ziegler, whose dad is a New Yorker cartoonist, offered to illustrate the blogs with cartoons. A perfect match was made.

Norine now lives in Florida and, together, they have developed not only books, but an entrepreneurial approach to selling them.

Publishing has changed a great deal in the past 10 years, and this colorful new book was published by She Prints, which Ziegler calls a “hybrid” publisher. They don’t do the exhaustive editing that the big publishers like Harper do, although they do proofread. They don’t design a cover —

S2

“Science of Parenthood” is a humorous look at parenting, interpreted with spoofs of scientist’s graphs, descriptions and illustrations.

Courtesy image Ziegler did that and illustrated the book with drawings, scientific-looking charts and graphs and a fine sense of humor. But they help with distribution, getting books into Ingram, the major wholesaler for bookstores across the nation.

The creative pair of McDaniel and Ziegler have self-published (via Amazon) and sold two books of cartoon-illustrated

tweets from parents, related to the blog — and contemplate another of those. This new book will go on the humor shelf at a bookstore, but also fits well in a gift shop or baby goods emporium. Any young parent will relate to it — it’s a great gift item.

The main means of generating sales initially for this pair is a series of house parties held by personal friends across the country — “from Orlando to Burbank,” Ziegler said (20 locations planned at this point). The trip started in Cincinnati Nov. 5, where a big-time sponsor gave them a kick-off party and supplies of Boogie nose wipes to go in goodie bags with other items for those who attend the parties. They’ll drive some and fly some because it’s winter — to both coasts and lots of states in between. Their itinerary runs through March.

In the Denver area, they will hold a launch party on Nov. 20 at Chinook Tavern, 6380 Fiddler’s Green Circle, Greenwood Village, which is open to the public, Ziegler said. She hopes the community will attend.

By Alex DeWind adewind@coloradocommunitymedia.com Amber Wann was an up-and-coming pack burro racer until an accident in 2013 left her with back surgery and three months of bed rest. During that time, her son, Benjamin, started showing signs of his epilepsy. He was having seizures once a month.

“I was battling a lot of things at the same time,” Amber said. “I wondered if there would ever be a happy day.”

For Amber, pack burro racing isn’t just a sport — it’s an interpretation of life. When you race with a donkey, you hit challenges and you want to give up, she said. But you have to make it to the finish line.

Amber and her husband, Brad, have four children and live near Cheese Ranch in Highlands Ranch. They’ve been involved in the sport for about seven years.

Pack burro racing is similar to a crosscountry footrace, except burros (Spanish for donkeys) lead the way. Every runner has a leash attached to an animal and the two run as a team. The sport’s season is from late May through September with races in mountain towns, such as Fairplay and Leadville.

Mining towns are where the sport began. In the 1940s, Fairplay and Leadville still used burros to carry supplies and lead miners through rocky terrain.

And in 1948, Fairplay started an annual, weekend-long festival called Burro Days dedicated to burros and pack burro racing. It’s the biggest event in Park County and generates significant tax revenue, said Julie Bullock, special events and business development coordinator for Fairplay.

“All of the hotels are booked,” she said. “All of the businesses in town see

Trying a new angle can be eye-opener The other night I was out to dinner with a couple of clients in an Italian restaurant down in Castle Rock, a place called Rose’s Bella Cucina. If you have not had the chance to dine there, I highly recommend it. The food is fantastic and the owners, Steve and Donna, are awesome.

While we were walking out, we noticed an enlarged photograph of New York City, an aerial photo taken of the city from the south and looking north. Although some of the city looked the same, the view and the perspective made the city look very different from what it looks like today. This particular photograph was probably from the 1950s and obviously taken long before the Twin Towers were ever built, before the South Street Seaport was built up, and before the modern glass-framed architecture had replaced many of the older concrete-dominated structures. Having grown up in New Jersey just across the river, this photo gave me a completely different perspective.

How often are we all used to seeing or hearing the same thing? I mean, we get conditioned to certain sights, sounds, smells and just the norm of life, don’t we? We get so used to something, so set in our ways, so accustomed to things being just the way they are, we sometimes forget to try looking at things from a different angle or viewpoint.

Now here’s the deal: People make new decisions based on new information.

So how do we do that? How do we break the cycle of the status quo? How do we get out

of that same-old-sameold routine? Well, if we are going to see things differently, make new decisions based on new information, we must first acquire that new information, right? So the way to do that is to develop a sense of curiosity. Maybe you already are someone who Michael Norton asks a lot of questions WINNING and has a heightened sense of curiosity, and WORDS that’s terrific. However, if you are someone who would like to start seeing the world a little differently, get your head around the political landscape or the economy, deepen your relationships, or view your job in a new and different way, try enhancing or developing a stronger sense of curiosity.

Start including statements and questions like: “Tell me more about that.” “Can you share with me why you feel that way?” “What was the experience like?” “How did that happen?”

You get the idea, right? It’s the “who, what, why, where, when and how” questions instead of simple questions that only require a yes or no answer.

If you want a different perspective or view, try researching articles and blogs in the areas that interest you the most. I know, you can’t believe everything you see or read on the

Internet, but there are some very credible sources available to you to expand your views and ideas on particular subjects.

Read the newspaper, and not just the sections you always read; check out opinions and columns that may challenge your current thinking. Remember, people make new decisions based on new information. And we have access to more information today than at any other time in history.

If you were to look at New York City today, from the same angle that was used in the photo I saw hanging in Rose’s Bella Cucina, and compare them side by side, you would absolutely see the city in a whole new and different way.

What do you need to see in a whole new or different way in your own life? What would happen if you changed the angle or perspective, or became more curious and sought new information about something that was important to you personally or professionally?

I would bet you just might make some new decisions based on altered views, different perspectives and new information.

How about you, is there a view or perspective you would like to change? I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@gmail.com, and sometimes when we can get some new information and make new decisions, it really will be a better than good week.

Behind closed doors, the weather’s perfect I can’t think of anything good to say about Black Friday.

So. For a recluse there is no better time of the year than right now.

I am all winterized, and I am ready to go further into the interior, if that is possible.

What that means is that I lay low and paint more, write more, read more, think more, and take another inventory.

Some people go into a winter funk.

Not me.

Sure, people ski.

And get stuck on I-70.

Not me.

Colorado winters are perfect. Now and then we have a blizzard. But most of the time it’s clear, crisp, and sunny.

I thought I wanted to retire in California.

Now I am glad I didn’t.

California doesn’t let you winterize. Parts of it are exactly the same all year.

You are outdoors all the time.

That and being a good father to a dachshund.

I have wondered what kind of real father I would be.

The answer is always the same. I would be too good.

I know for a fact that I would be preoccupied with Junior, and never get anything done.

Maybe not. Maybe I would learn how to measure my time.

I just don’t have to measure it at all right now, and I haven’t since I retired.

Family commitments deserve our support Colorado’s recovery from the worst recession since the Great Depression is as strong as any state’s in the nation, but for many middle-class families, decades of flat paychecks are leaving them with impossible decisions. Should they leave the workforce to stay home with an aging parent or pay tens of thousands of dollars to place them in around-the-clock care? Do they purchase a home or pay down a mountain of student debt? Will they spend hundreds of dollars a week on childcare or reject a new job opportunity?

This past August in Aurora we met with a number of parents to talk about the cost of child care. One mom described the difficult decision between paying for day care or paying her mortgage, and another parent was unable to work more hours because of the extra cost of care.

Coloradans feel the burden of these almost insurmountable costs more than families almost anywhere else in the country. Overall, Colorado is the sixth most expensive state for child care, and infant care ranks second when you factor in the percentage of the average salary it con-

sumes.

To provide some relief and help parents stay in the workforce, we’re co-sponsoring a bill to raise the Child and Dependent Care Tax Credit. We want to make it easier to afford quality care by raising the U.S. Sen. credit from $3,000 to Michael Bennet $8,000 for one child and from $6,000 to GUEST $16,000 for two or COLUMN more kids.

Another pressure point Colorado families talk to us about consistently is the cost of higher education. Many parents and students are taking on thousands of dollars of debt. In the past 35 years, college tuition at public universities has risen significantly, with the average in-state public tuition in Colorado rising to nearly $9,500 annually.

We’ve introduced a number of measures

to help families save for school, decrease the cost of college and help graduates pay down their loans. They include streamlining the student loan process, restoring yearround Pell grants, promoting college savings programs, expanding college tax credits and allowing students to refinance loans.

Following our urging, students will soon be able to fill out the FAFSA earlier so they can find how much aid they will qualify for sooner, allowing parents to plan and save.

Unfortunately, some parents aren’t only paying for their kids’ college or their own student debt, but are also faced with caring for an aging or ailing parent of their own.

More than 584,000 Coloradans are caring for aging or disabled loved ones, providing $7.4 billion in unpaid care each year. In 2012, the average cost in Colorado of placing someone in full-time care was more than $200 a day.

In July, we met with caregivers in Fort Collins who shared their stories. One woman was caring for both an aging parent and a disabled brother, another was taking care of a husband with Alzheimer’s after previously caring for a husband who died

of cancer, and one woman was caring for her mother with Alzheimer’s and was being tested herself for early onset of the disease.

Last year, we teamed up with Republican Sen. Kelly Ayotte to establish the Assisting Caregivers Today Caucus to give caregivers a stronger voice in Washington and provide new opportunities for education and advocacy. We’ve also been working to pass the RAISE Act, which would require the Department of Health and Human Services to develop a national strategy to support the country’s 40 million family caregivers.

Whether it’s battling student debt, caring for a loved one or sending your kid to day care, these challenges are replicated across the country. One thing we didn’t hear in our meetings was anyone saying they wanted to work less or get something for free. Everyone we talked to was willing to make a commitment to move their families forward, and Congress needs to find ways to support that commitment instead of sending families backward.

Democrat Michael Bennet has represented Colorado in the U.S. Senate since 2009.

Actions aim for future water security Is our water future secure?

It’s a question on the minds of many in Castle Rock and the entire south metro Denver region — and for good reason. After all, water is what makes our outstanding quality of life possible. If we want future generations to enjoy our communities as we do, we must ensure they have access to a secure and sustainable water supply that meets their future needs.

From conversations throughout the region, we know Castle Rock residents and those in the entire south metro area understand the critical role water plays in delivering the quality of life we desire for our children, in addition to supporting property values, job creation and economic growth.

We know residents are aware the region historically has relied too heavily on declining groundwater supplies and must diversify its supply for long-term sustainability. We know they view water as a top priority for the region and support an all-of-the-above approach that includes conservation and reuse, storage and new renewable supplies.

We also know Castle Rock residents as well as residents across the south metro area value partnership among leaders throughout the region to get the job done in the most economically responsible manner.

Working together to secure water rights, build infrastructure and efficiently use storage space helps spread the costs and the benefits to customers throughout the region.

The answer to the question on people’s minds is not clear-cut. While our region is on the path to delivering a secure water future for generations to come, this effort is ongoing and will require continued support from our communities to see it through to the end.

The good news is that we have a plan, and we are executing that plan.

proaches, the region has seen a 30 percent decrease in per capita water use since 2000.

GUEST That means the typical COLUMN south metro household or business, including those in Caste Rock, is using 30 percent less water than just 15 years ago. Declines in the region’s underground aquifers — historically the main water source for the region — have slowed considerably in that same time period, a testament to efforts across the region to diversify water supplies and maximize efficiency through reuse.

At the same time, major new water infrastructure projects are coming online throughout the region that bring new renewable supplies, storage capacity and reuse capabilities. These include the WISE (Water Infrastructure and Supply Efficiency) Partnership with Denver Water, Aurora and several other regional organizations including Castle Rock Water, the Chatfield Reallocation Project, Rueter-Hess Reservoir, the Northern Project and Castle Rock’s Plum Creek Purification Facility, to name a few.

The 13 members that make up the South Metro Water Supply Authority provide water to 80 percent of Douglas County and 10 percent of Arapahoe County. Together, they are partnering among each other as well as with local government leadership and water entities across the region and state to execute their plan to secure a sustainable water future for the region.

Since becoming a member of the South Metro Water Supply Authority, Castle Rock Water has helped lead implementation of the WISE project, new water storage reservoir projects and other regional renewable water supply efforts. WISE water will be available to Castle Rock residents by 2017 and even earlier for some of the other South Metro residents. A project like WISE

Impacts broaden with family volunteers Donating time with spouse, kids promotes giving spirit

By Chris Michlewicz cmichlewicz@coloradocommunitymedia.com For Whitney and Justin Henwood and their six children, volunteering became a family affair when they relocated from Parker to Haiti to help a community recover from a devastating earthquake.

A Castle Rock family discovered that working for an organization that helps neglected horses and special needs youth not only fosters a good work ethic, it also teaches gratitude and thoughtfulness.

And a retired couple in Littleton decided to give back by helping their local police department with the little things like crowd control and reporting graffiti.

They are part of a growing trend of volunteerism that brings a family’s collective might to extend a friendly hand — whether it’s helping out in a kitchen to feed the homeless on Thanksgiving, organizing a neighborhood cleanup campaign or seeking an international destination where relief is needed.

GenerationOn, a national volunteer organization that provides family project ideas and guides, is encouraging parents to sign up for family volunteer day Nov. 21.

Moms and dad who work alongside their children can share observations and later talk about their experience.

“Volunteering together enhances values such as kindness, compassion and tolerance, plus family members learn new skills and feel appreciated for their contributions and talents,” the group’s website says.

Desire to help leads to Haiti Whitney and Justin Henwood, of Parker, traveled to Haiti in 2011 before returning the following year with their six children.

The second excursion wasn’t a short-lived mission: the family put down temporary roots, becoming a part of a community outside of Port-au-Prince for seven months and helping out in any way they could.

“We thought it would be a good experience for not only the people of Haiti, but also for our children to see what the world is like,” said Whitney Henwood, a registered nurse who worked alongside her children at clinics in the poor village.

Justin Henwood took a leave of absence

TIPS FOR FAMILY VOLUNTEERING • Choose an activity together. Discussing possible volunteer opportunities can be a great way to help kids think about what matters to them and can help you learn about each other as a family in new ways.

• Consider letting kids bring their friends.

This may make the service experience more fun and could also inspire more families to get involved in volunteering.

• Look for opportunities that can accommodate skills, interests and maturity of all family members, especially the younger children.

• Plan your own event. Talk with your local park district or nonprofit and arrange your own project.

• Start your own family tradition. It may be ringing bells to raise money during the winter or assisting with a Martin Luther King, Jr. Day of Service project every January, but you can start a tradition of service that will create life-long memories.

from his job as a geotechnical engineer to shore up walls in homes, many of which are constructed in a way that can jeopardize the safety of those inside.

Structures were damaged during a massive earthquake that struck the impoverished nation in 2010 and have not been repaired.

The kids, then ranging in age from 2 to 10, assisted when they could, but most of the time they were befriending the Haitian children. Whitney Henwood snapped a photo of her then-2-year-old son sitting among orphaned children during a feeding program funded year-round by money raised through the Henwood’s nonprofit, Believe in Haiti.

The Henwoods wanted to use their skill set to make a difference, as well as provide a good example for their kids. Whitney Henwood remembers during the 2012 trip that her 8-year-old daughter was eager to help in the clinic, which provides basic screenings, education and assistance to new mothers, some of whom walked miles to receive care.

“While I was doing exams on women, she was holding the newborn babies,” she said. “That was really neat to see.”

Teaching kids a life lesson At a more local level, Castle Rock

• Invite the whole family. Use your volunteer activities as an opportunity to spend time with family members you don’t see every day. Strengthen your entire family by including grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins.

•Volunteer as part of a family vacation.

Serving together can be a great way to have lots of fun, explore a new place together and make a difference at the same time.

•Teach life lessons. By volunteering as a family, you have a chance to expand the perspectives of your children and expose them first-hand to new issues. Talking them through their activities can help them reflect on their experience and grow in their understanding.

• Encourage life-long volunteering. When families volunteer, children are more likely to develop the habit of giving to their communities, and are more likely to volunteer on their own in the future.

residents Tiffany and Rob Riley and their four children — Abby, 15, Lance, 13, Sydnie, 9, and Tessa, 4 — are pitching in at Drifter’s Hearts of Hope, a horse rescue near the Douglas-Elbert county line. After adopting one of the horses for Abby, the family decided Drifter’s Hearts would be the perfect venue to volunteer.

“We saw the amazing work they’re doing out there and we decided that it would be a good cause,” Tiffany Riley said.

A Facebook post informed the family the nonprofit organization needed a shed to store tools and other goods to care for the horses. The family had considered helping with Special Olympics, but schedules did not align. However, because Drifter’s Hearts works with special needs clients, two of the Riley kids will likely continue volunteering.

“The kids are definitely developing a good work habit and learning that it’s important to help others and be mindful of others’ needs,” Tiffany Riley said. “They’re learning to be grateful for what they have as well.”

The littlest ones love feeling they are a part of something important, even if they are simply cleaning up sawdust or handing their parents a two-by-four for the shed.

Community safety is pair’s focus Joe and Sue Henson, of Littleton, also feel proud to be a cog in the larger, well-oiled machine of the Littleton Police Department. They are members of the Community Safety Volunteer Program, and with funding from a justice assistance grant, they drive a marked vehicle to keep an extra eye on the community.

They help with crowd control at large events like Western Welcome Week and Trick or Treat Street, assist at accident scenes, report new graffiti for cleanup, and created the Friends of Littleton K9s citizen support group for the police department’s K9 unit.

“We both retired early, so I figured what the heck,” said Joe Henson, a member of the department’s alumni association.

A citizen police academy, which allows the public a behind-the-scenes glimpse at law enforcement, convinced the Hensons that donating their extra time was the right thing to do. They had always wanted to help out, but never had the time because of Joe Henson’s extensive work travel.

Now, the civilian volunteers work as partners outside of their 46-year marriage.

Their duties are specified, much as they are at home, Joe Henson pointed out.

When they’re on patrol, he is the contact person and she is the cover, and they cruise through areas known for vehicle break-ins and check on homes when owners are on vacation. Since Sue Henson also serves on a handful of boards and helps vet new officer candidates, she is in the know.

“I’ve done patrols with other guys, but obviously I feel much more comfortable going out with Sue,” Joe Henson said. “She knows more officers than I do, and she gives me a lot of good insight with what’s going on out there with the guys on the street.”

Family volunteerism rewarding Just as the Hensons’ work frees up on-duty officers to concentrate on other, more pressing tasks, the same goes for other nonprofit organizations that reap the rewards of family volunteers. They not only help a good cause, but also create a sense of solidarity and purpose.

The effects are obvious and life-changing, Whitney Henwood said.

“Our kids’ lives have for sure been changed by our experiences” in Haiti, she said. “They’ve become more compassionate and have less desire for material things.”

Morrison’s masterpiece carries you away The music industry does a pretty healthy business with reissues, particularly around the holidays.

The releases are almost always fascinating. Yet it’s almost always frustrating for fans.

Reworking albums that have been out for decades with alternative takes, live versions and unheard songs is a kind of dirty trick on the industry’s part — since it means listeners have to rebuy something they already own.

But it’s the kind of treat serious audiophiles like myself just can’t resist.

This season has some great reissues — The Velvet Underground, Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen and Fleetwood Mac all have mammoth, comprehensive releases out or on the way.

But the one I’m most excited about is probably the simplest — the remastered and expanded version of Van Morrison’s seminal “Astral Weeks.”

I should state up front “Astral Weeks” is my absolute favorite album of all time, so even just a remastered version would be a complete treat. But the reissue features two alternate takes and two extended versions of tracks that show how a genius develops a masterwork.

For people who know Morrison from his biggest single, “Brown Eyed Girl,” “Astral Weeks” might be a bit disorienting at first. It was when it was released, as well.

Morrison wrote and recorded the al-

bum in 1968, fresh off the success of “Brown Eyed Girl,” but instead of staying in that upbeat, R&B-driven rock lane, the Irish artist dove into Celtic folk and free jazz.

What first struck me about the album is that very Clarke Reader unexpected quality.

LINER The freedom and sense of exploration NOTES in the album never ceases to inspire me to try something new — to go for a new sound, a new way to express myself. There are so many ways to create beauty, and sometimes that requires going in a new direction.

The album’s mystical beauty is a result of how Morrison and producer Lewis Merenstein use a jazz quintet, led by bassist Richard Davis, to flesh out Morrison’s acoustic guitar work. According to the musicians, Morrison would simply play what he had written, then tell them to play what they felt.

No charts, nothing written or explained — just the emotion of the music.

As a creative person, it’s hard not to aspire to a similar feat — making something that is capable of just carry-

ing people away. There’s a fearlessness required to do something like that, but the rewards are so worth it.

And that’s how you can open an album with a song like “Astral Weeks,” which is a serious contender for my favorite album opener ever. The lyrics let the listener know immediately what kind of ride they’re in for: “If I ventured in the slipstream/Between the viaducts of your dream.”

From there, it is 40 minutes of the most shimmeringly gorgeous music you’ll ever hear, from the classical lilts of “Cypress Avenue” to the transcendental character study of “Madame George.”

And in a canon that features love songs like “Into the Mystic” and “Someone Like You,” Morrison delivers one of his best romantic odes in “Sweet Thing.”

There is something so open and personal about all this music, and every time I hear it, it’s like a challenge to go that deep into myself and find what I really want to say.

“Astral Weeks” is never not inspiring, and whenever I need any artistic motivation, this is my go-to music. It’s perfect music for exploration — of the world, of beauty, of self. Can’t ask for more from any art.

CLARKE’S ALBUM OF THE WEEK Selection: Beach Slang’s “The Things We Do To Find People Who Feel Like Us,”released on Polyvinyl Records.

Review: You won’t find more love songs in one place on any album this year, and they’re all dedicated to the healing power of rock music. The album flies by at just 27 minutes, and that’s perfect for the make-or-break emotions, the pounding guitars, the sing-along choruses.

Favorite song: “Noisy Heaven” Most romantic lyric: “The punks are wired And these records feel tough It’s loud and wild But I swear it feels soft”

Southwest Plaza getting in gear for holiday rush Southwest Plaza, the 1.3 millionsquare-foot shopping center in Littleton, is adding the finishing touches to a multimillion-dollar redevelopment that began in April 2014. Many retailers will open throughout the holiday season, adding more variety to holiday shopping.

Designed to reflect the modern Colorado lifestyle, Southwest Plaza’s renovations and enhancements include the addition of skylights, open air cafes, seating areas, a roaring fireplace and Wi-Fi throughout the property. In keeping with the mall’s commitment to provide a Colorado experience and to complement the national retailer and restaurant collection, the center is adding regional and local shops, including the second location of downtown’s popular I Heart Denver store and Inspyre Boutique.

The mall’s four department stores, Dillard’s, JCPenney, Macy’s and Sears, have remained in place during the remodel.

“The holiday season is the perfect time to visit Southwest Plaza and experience the new renovations, along with the introduction of our Holiday Market and Adventure to Santa,” said Greg Sims, senior general manager for Southwest Plaza.

“The completely renovated Southwest Plaza mall is truly a Colorado lifestyle center, featuring many of the best retailers from throughout the country, and our own backyard.”

Stanley Marketplace hosts exhibit Stanley Marketplace, the public market

slated to open next year on the border of Stapleton and Aurora, will play host to a monthlong Black Cube Nomadic Museum pop-up exhibition with artist fellow Derrick Velasquez through Dec. 12.

Black Cube is a Penny Parker nonprofit, experimental art museum MILE HIGH that nurtures the LIFE self-sufficiency of artists, and inspires people to discover and appreciate contemporary art beyond traditional museum and gallery walls.

Black Cube has no permanent exhibition space or collection, and instead partners with artist fellows to commission pop-up art experiences; by constantly changing locations, Black Cube’s projects aspire to reach new audiences not regularly exposed to contemporary art.

“We couldn’t be more excited to partner with Stanley on this exhibition, especially at this rare moment during its build-out,” said Cortney Stell, executive director and chief curator of Black Cube.

Velasquez was born and raised in Lodi, California, and resides in Denver. He received his Master of Fine Arts degree in sculpture from Ohio State University, and holds dual undergraduate degrees in art

history and studio arts from the University of California, Santa Barbara. Velasquez teaches in the fine arts department at Metropolitan State University of Denver and the University of Denver.

Tocabe updates its menu Tocabe fans now have even more to savor with new menu items. Tocabe is introducing three new dishes: The Posu Bowl, Grilled Bannock and the Bad Hunter Salad.

“This is the first time we’ve added new selections to our menu since we opened Tocabe,” says Tocabe co-owner Matt Chandra. “We thought it was important to add some additional diverse options that appeal to all tastes and dietary needs.”

The Posu Bowl is Tocabe’s newest vegan offering and will be offered at both the north Denver and Greenwood Village locations.

Available only at Tocabe’s Greenwood Village location, 8181 E. Arapahoe Road, the Grilled Bannock features traditional bread grilled fresh to order, served alongside all of Tocabe’s toppings. Patrons can choose their meat (ground beef, grilled chicken, ground bison or shredded bison) and toppings made to order.

Both locations, in Denver at 3536 W. 44th Ave and Greenwood Village, are open from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Saturday and from noon to 8 p.m. Sunday.

“We want our guests to enjoy delicious, chef-driven food without pretense or attitude,” said Martin Hammer, general manager at Reunion. “The menu we have created, the food we serve, and the vibe in the restaurant certainly lends itself to accomplish this.”

HONOR, SERVICE, SACRIFICE

Returning troops have places to turn Readjusting to civilian life difficult for some veterans

By Chris Michlewicz cmichlewicz@coloradocommunitymedia.com

Chad Ritter knows the difficulty of returning home.

The U.S. Marine Corps veteran served during the push into Iraq in 2003. After sustaining wounds — including a traumatic brain injury — in three separate attacks, Ritter was sent home with little idea of what was to come. The 34-year-old Franktown resident now has a host of physical ailments and post-traumatic stress disorder, which limit job opportunities and participation in social settings.

Going from a combat zone, where life-and-death decisions are made daily, back to civilian life was an exasperating transition, one fraught with questions that seemingly had no answer.

“When you try to reconnect with society, you’ve got to think every day that people don’t do those same things,” Ritter said. “They don’t experience it.”

According to a study by the Center for Chronic Disease Outcomes Research, between 25 percent and 56 percent of combat veterans using U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs services reported “some” to “extreme” difficulty in social functioning, productivity and community involvement.

The 2010 study focused on the prevalence and types of reintegration problems among Iraq and Afghanistan combat veterans while identifying levels of interest in interventions to promote readjustment to community life. The research also explored associations between probable PTSD and reintegration problems.

Ritter continues to seek ways to make sense of it all through VA counseling and has made strides in recent months with Warrior Voices, a nonprofit that teaches returning troops voiceover skills. The goal is to provide them with talents and job opportunities suited for those with PTSD and other lasting conditions.

Programs come in wide range There are a number of organizations willing to help; it’s a matter of finding the right fit, as returning veterans have varying degrees of issues and methods of coping. The Douglas County Office of Veterans Affairs helps those seeking mental and physical care to connect with the right people.

David Maxwell, veterans service officer, says there are adjustments needed in multiple facets of everyday life. The surroundings and daily activities separating civilian and military life are stark: work responsibilities, living situations, different “lingo,” proximity to home, and even kinship.

“You lose that camaraderie. They’re your buddies and family, everybody around you,” Maxwell said. “The military emphasizes teamwork, and when you leave that all of a sudden, it’s just you. Coworkers are not the same.”

Ritter knows the feeling and has created a motorcycle club for veterans that gives him that missed sense of “brotherhood” from his deployment.

It’s Maxwell’s job to find those groups that help returning veterans rediscover that military connection.

Michael Corona, a petty officer in the U.S. Navy who served three tours in Vietnam, visits the Vietnam War Memorial in Washington, D.C., in 2013. It was his first visit. He approached the wall quietly and placed both palms on the cold stone.

Tears in his eyes, he whispered silent prayers, then slowly stepped back, straightened his back, raised his hand to his brow and gave a salute. He slowly walked the length of the wall, running his fingertips over the etched names, only withdrawing his touch at the end. Turn to the third page of this section for more on his service.

Local veterans talk about their motivation, accomplishments and challenges

Jack Pansini

Bob Rotruck

U.S. Army

U.S. Navy

When Jack Pansini was 9, his father moved the family from Molfetta, Italy, to the United States.

“He didn’t like Mussolini,” Pansini recalls.

As a young corporal in the U.S. Army, Pansini found himself back in Europe in 1946, facing the aftermath of Mussolini’s maliciousness.

Pansini ended up helping to occupy a small fishing town in Germany called Bremerhaven. He was with the medical corps there and at an Army base in Brooklyn for a year upon his return.

He had with him the European Victory Medal, a Good Conduct Medal and his German bride, Ursula.

He later went to pharmacy school at the University of Colorado in Boulder on the GI Bill. He and his wife returned to the East Coast to be closer to family, but that only lasted a few months.

“Once you’ve been in Colorado, you don’t want to live back east,” Ursula Panisini said.

They landed in Littleton in 1958 after Jack Pansini took a job as a pharmacist at a local King Soopers. He also became involved in the Pat Hannon Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 4666 and George C. Evans American Legion Post 103. He’s a member of the All Veterans Honor Guard,

Castle Rock resident and Vietnam veteran Bob Rotruck served in the U.S. Navy for 20 years. When he retired July 31, 1979, he held the rank of chief warrant officer. Rotruck worked in aviation electronics and was deployed to Vietnam abroad the USS Kitty Hawk in 1968-69.

After retiring from the military to help his wife, Barbara, raise their two sons, Rotruck worked as a contractor for the Department of Defense. Now retired, he moved to Castle Rock 10 years ago. He spends most of his time volunteering with the Douglas/Elbert Task Force, New Hope Presbyterian Church and Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve. He was also on the initial board of directors for the Douglas County Veteran Monument. The Rotrucks have two sons, Joe, who lives in Parker and is a software engineer, and John, who is a captain in the U.S. Navy.

What about your service makes you most proud?

Working with some of the finest young men and women in the world. I’m very privileged to work with, work for and have worked for some wonderful, wonderful people while serving my country. It’s a kinship that you develop and a spiritual relationship you develop that can’t be broken. I had a great career. I loved it. Had we not had children, I would have stayed for 30 years.

What motivated you to join the military?

My brother. He’s the one that made the suggestion. I really hadn’t considered it. I graduated from Gaithersburg High School in Maryland in 1959 and was all prepared to go to the University of West Virginia pharmacy school. My brother said, “Are you sure you want to be a pharmacist?” I wasn’t sure. He suggested I join the military and they can help pay.

I tested with the Air Force and scored extremely high. But there was something about the Navy that enchanted me more.

I enlisted in the Navy July 29, 1959. I had no intention of staying 20 years.

What were some of the biggest challenges you encountered?

I guess the toughest tour was while I was attached to the USS John F. Kennedy. I spent nine months in the Norfolk Naval Shipyard for an overhaul. Even though I was at home, I aged 10 years in that time because of the shipyard workers. All weekend the ship would be in great shape. We cleaned on Fridays, but by noon Monday, the ship would be a mess because of them. One of the most exciting things I did was I walked under the ship while it was in dry dock. It weighed 82,000 tons. That was an impressive sight.

performing the 21-gun salute during services at Ft. Logan National Cemetery upon a family’s request.

He also makes regular rounds to Buck Recreation Center and Littleton’s World War II Memorial at Ketring Park, checking on the American flags that hang there.

Once a week or so, he checks them for fading, fraying or any other type of damage. Those that can be repaired he takes home to his wife. Those that can’t are given a proper burning ceremony.

He’s also in charge of heeding the president’s call to fly the flag at half-staff on the rare but dark occasions that call for it.

“Somebody has to do it, and we’re close enough that we don’t have to drive too far,” he said. “We do it to honor the GIs, the veterans, the nation.”

Mike Alsop

U.S. Army Mike Alsop’s life changed forever on May 17, 2007, when an IED blew up the vehicle he was riding in during his deployment in Iraq. Almost every bone in his body was injured and he was diagnosed with a moderate, traumatic brain injury.

In 2008, the 32-year-old Highlands Ranch resident medically retired and was declared 100 percent disabled because of his brain injury.

Alsop grew up in Missouri and served in Afghanistan from 2004-05 in the U.S. Army’s squad automatic weapons regiment. He was deployed to Iraq in 2006.

He uses hypobaric oxygen therapy for his brain injuries, which he said has helped tremendously.

“It gave me my identity back,” he said. “It took me out of my constant state of confusion.”

He’s attended school at the University of Colorado-Denver. He recently got married and has four pets.

What motivated you to join the military?

9/11 was the biggest thing. I was in school in Missouri at the time. I saw it all happen in the cafeteria on the TV. I also knew I would be eligible for the GI Bill and could have school paid for. Unfortunately, I didn’t realize the course that I was going to take and be severely injured.

Lucile Wise Women Airforce Service Pilots What about your service makes you most proud?

The thing that makes me the most proud is having the opportunity to serve with such a diverse and amazing group of Americans. They’re all my brothers. We’re very tight now.

What were some of the biggest challenges you encountered?

There are a lot of challenges. I didn’t realize what real war was until I found myself in the middle of it. It was a challenge to adapt to being in combat. I think one of the hardest moments was being in the hospital, getting a call from my team leader and knowing that I was safe and my guys were still out there fighting. I wasn’t there to be a part of it and that was really hard for me.

And the residual PTSD that I still have from friends that I’ve lost and everything that war does to a person. It’s also a challenge coming home and being labeled a hero. I’m not a hero, but I did serve with a lot of them.

— Alex DeWind

Lucile Wise, 95, grew up in Wichita, Kansas. She had her first flying lesson on Dec. 6, 1941, a day before the bombing of Pearl Harbor. She originally wanted to fly for fun, but in 1943, she decided to join Women Airforce Service Pilots (WASP).

She trained in Texas and became a pilot in World War II, where she replaced pilots in what is now known as the Air Force who had deployed overseas, flying aircraft to different locations stateside.

She also flew for the regional weather office, where she piloted weather officers on inspection trips.

Wise, an Arvada resident, was always “crazy about flying.”

What motivated you to join the military?

I wanted to be a part of the war effort.

They were looking for women to fly, so I volunteered. I was happy to be a part of it all. I loved to fly — I loved the views up in the air.

What about your service makes you most proud?

About 1,100 women and I replaced male pilots so they could go overseas to fight in combat. And I flew a B-17 for a short time — a heavy combat plane.

What were some of the biggest challenges you encountered?

It was a challenge to prove that women could do the job, that we could fly the military aircrafts just as well as men could.

Job-seeking help offered Aside from nonprofits like Warrior Voices, job placement organizations often have specialists that point veterans in the right direction. Arapahoe/Douglas Works!, a workforce center run by the Colorado Department of Labor and Employment, provides free services to job seekers and businesses. It hosts employment events geared toward veterans and offers one-on-one assistance that delves into the skill sets of service members in hopes of finding the perfect job for them.

Taking into account uncontrolled responses that are not conducive to certain environments is similarly important, Ritter says.

“It all might be different: Mine is people and crowds. For others, it might be super-loud noises,” he

Arapahoe/Douglas Works! Workforce Center — www.adworks.org said.

There are groups like We Hire Heroes, a national job board for military veterans, and state-run websites like www.hireacoloradovet.gov. It’s also worth researching a prospective employer’s history of hiring veterans.

The 18th Judicial District Attorney’s office, for example, earned the Pro Patria award this year for its efforts. Prior to the 2013 election of District Attorney George Brauchler, himself an Army Reserve lieutenant colonel, the DA’s office had few vets in the ranks. It now

has six active National Guard and Army Reserve members and eleven veterans, including officers from the Marine Reserve, Navy Reserve, and Colorado Army National Guard, the latter of which recently completed a yearlong deployment to Afghanistan.

Housing for vets highlighted Homes for Our Troops, a national nonprofit foundation with a heavy presence in Colorado, has built numerous adaptive homes for disabled military veterans, particularly a cluster of houses in a

neighborhood near Elizabeth.

Just this month, Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 4266 in Parker announced its support of Colorado Coalition for the Homeless to find housing for homeless veterans.

According to the Department of Housing and Urban Development’s 2014 Homeless Assessment Report to Congress, there are an estimated 753 homeless veterans in Colorado.

The members of Post 4266 officially launched their support Oct. 29 with a $5,000 cash donation.

The donation and visit were part of a three-point plan devised by Post

JOHN KEITH WELLS, Wheat Ridge

CURTIS DOUGLAS DALE, Parker

Major, U.S. Marine Corps, 1942-1945

Colonel, U.S. Air Force, 1959-1986

Medals and commendations: Navy Cross and Purple Heart

Medals and commendations include: Legion of Merit with one Oak Leaf Cluster, Distinguished Flying Cross, Meritorious Service Medal with two Oak Leaf Clusters, Air Medal with nine Oak Leaf Clusters, USAF Commendation Medal with five Oak Leaf Clusters, Presidential Unit Citation, National Defense Service Medal, U.S. Vietnam Service Medal with four Campaign Stars, Humanitarian Service Medal, Vietnam Cross of Gallantry Medal, Vietnamese Cross of Gallantry Unit Citation, Vietnam Campaign Medal, USAF Commander Badge

His service: Commanded the most decorated infantry platoon to come out of a single engagement in the history of the U.S. as platoon leader of the 3rd Platoon, Easy Company, 28th Marines, 5th Division.

Interesting facts: Wells, 93, was the 1st lieutenant in charge of the flag raising on Iwo Jima. He also wrote a book about Iwo Jima called “Give me 50 Marines Not Afraid to Die.”

ROY POOLE Arvada Lt. Colonel, U.S. Air Force, 1976-1994 Medals and commendations: Meritorious Service Medal with three Oak Leaf Clusters, Air Force Commendation Medal with two Oak Leaf Clusters, Air Force Achievement Medal with Oak Leaf Cluster His service: A former English and language arts teacher in east Los Angeles and Arvada, he joined the Air Force in 1975 as one of 100 people nationwide on a track to become pilots. He eventually headed the Safety Education Division for the Air Force. In all, he spent more than 13 years investigating aircraft accidents and 15 years teaching others to fly safely.

In his words: “During my career, I saw that service was not just combat operations. Service was given by the medical professionals who kept service members and their families healthy. It was given by the technicians, who maintained modern aircraft at the highest level. It was given by the chaplains, who ministered to

military communities and comforted the families of those who made the ultimate sacrifice. On the day I retired, my highest honor was to be counted among those who gave our best in service to America.”

A story: My worst day was responding to a crash on Halloween afternoon. The deceased pilot was a friend of mine, whose children, like mine, were waiting for Daddy to come home. He would not be coming home; and I would not be home for a long time that night, investigating his death. Only one’s faith can get you through a cold night like that one.

The best days were connected with the same tragedy. After weeks of interviewing witnesses, reading the results of scanning microscopes, and duplicating the flight profile at safe altitudes, I had discovered the reason for the crash. My accident board’s recommendations for aircraft modifications were immediately put into effect, and within the year, another aircrew had encountered the same situation. But this time, they were able to recover and survive.

Terrorism Expeditionary Medal, Global War on Terrorism Service Medal, NATO Medal

Lt. Colonel, U.S. Army, 1986-2006 Medals and commendations include: Meritorious Service Medal, Army Commendation Medal, Army Achievement Medal, National Defense Service Medal, Kosovo Campaign Medal, Global War on

In her words: “As an Army nurse, I chose to specialize in operating room nursing to support the combat mission and be part of the medical team closest to the soldiers in the front.”

4266 that includes fundraising, “boots on the ground” mentoring and a life-skills training program for veterans in CCH facilities.

VA home loans are available to any veteran, reducing the down payment needed to buy a home.

Transition assistance available The pride that some veterans carry can prevent them from getting the right assistance.

Each branch of the military has a transitions-assistance program, and it’s a matter of taking advantage of that as well as the many options available for successful re-acclimation into society, said Maxwell, who also connects vets with addiction treatment experts and mental health therapists.

“Anyone who is leaving can go through the transition-assistance program for a number of months, take classes on how to do resumes and that sort of stuff, to get them adjusted back to civilian life,” he said.

His service: Three combat tours in Vietnam that included 29 reconnaissance missions and 124 electronic warfare missions.

He served as acrew commander in both the Atlas D & E and, later, the Minuteman III ICBMs, commanded two Space and Missile Warning and Space Track bases, commanded AAFES Philippines and Thailand, and commanded Task Force Alpha in Panama, the latter making him the first navigator in Military Airlift Command to command a flying organization. His final tour involved working with the Space Shuttle and the Titan IV Space Launch System.

Why he served: He loved the U.S. Air Force from his early youth and wanted to serve the nation he loves. He was rewarded by flying missions ranging from low-level warfare in Vietnam to the edge of space above 70,000 feet in spacesuits.

Interesting facts: The only continent he has not visited is Africa. He holds the record for northern Polar missions with 178 up over the ice cap and is second for North Pole crossings with 78 times over the top.

KATHLEEN ANN LECLERC Lakewood Aviation Storekeeper Chief Petty Officer (E7), Career Counselor U.S. Navy, 1975-1979 active duty, 1980-1997 Reserves Medals and commendations: Two Navy Achievement Medals, Navy Good Conduct

Event that inspired his most patriotic feelings:One afternoon at DaNang AB, RVN, as he was trying to hitch a ride to prepare for a mission, he heard a Jolly Green Giant rescue helicopter coming from behind. Two A-1E “Sandy” Skyraiders were flying in V-formation behind it.

The Jolly crew was waving red, white and blue smoke flares out the doors and cockpit windows. They’d been on a rescue mission “up north” for a downed pilot. The red, white and blue meant, “We got him!”

As they approached midfield, just above Dale’s head, the “Sandies” peeled off, one left and one right, and the Jolly continued on down the runway. “Patriotears” streamed down his face “at this totally unexpected, overwhelming sight.”

Medal-Active Duty, four Naval Reserve Meritorious Service Medals, National Defense Ribbon, Naval Marine Corps Overseas Duty Ribbon, Armed Forces Reserve Medal In her words: “I enlisted because I wanted the G.I. Bill to pay for my college education, and stayed 22 years because I love the Navy and I’m proud that I served my country.”

IRAQ WAR

WAR ON ISIL

Years of U.S. involvement: 1994-95 U.S. combat casualties: 1 After a military coup deposed the civilian leadership of Haiti, U.S. forces led a U.N. mission. The operation succeeded in the reinstatement of Jean-Bertrand Aristide as president of Haiti.

Years of U.S. involvement: 2001-present U.S. combat casualties: 1,742 A multinational force toppled the Taliban, who controlled part of Afghanistan and harbored al-Qaeda. As U.N. forces worked to build an Afghan army, the Taliban began a prolonged insurgency, which is present today.

Years of U.S. involvement: 2003-11 U.S. combat casualties: 3,527 A coalition of forces led by the U.S. removed Saddam Hussein from power in 2003. As coalition forces occupied Iraq, sectarian tensions and insurgent attacks provoked a civil war.

Years of U.S. involvement: 2014-present U.S. combat casualties: 1 Insurgencies in Iraq and Syria combined into the self-described Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL).

Warriors rally to win playoff opener Arapahoe comes back, outscores Bear Creek 31-14

By Tom Munds tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia.com Arapahoe’s football team found itself behind by 14 points for the first time this year but scored 31 unanswered points to win the Nov. 6 first-round Class 5A state football playoff game against Bear Creek, 31-14.

“We fell behind early by two scores so I told the guys there is plenty of time for us to come back,” Warriors coach Mike Campbell said. “Once we calmed down, we got rolling.”

Key moments Bear Creek took the opening kickoff, then put together a well-executed drive to score a touchdown and extra point.

Arapahoe (10-0) fumbled on its first play from scrimmage, Bears linebacker Tanis Craiglow scooped it up and ran for a touchdown. The extra point gave Bear Creek (4-6) a 14-0 lead with just over six minutes left in the first quarter.

Early in the second quarter, Arapahoe responded with a pair of long passes from quarterback Pete Mitchell to Ray Haas for touchdowns to tie the score. Arapahoe broke the 14-14 tie in the third period then added a touchdown and a field goal in the final quarter to win 31-14.

Key players/statistics Haas was designated player of the game.

He had the two touchdown passes, intercepted a pass and was in on a couple key tackles to short circuit Bear Creek’s effort to mount scoring drives. In the previous nine games, Haas had caught four passes for 90 yards. Defensively he was a tackle leader with 25 solo tackles and 23 assists.

He made five interceptions in the first nine games of the season.

“We had perfectly designed plays on those two touchdown passes I caught so I was wide open,” Haas said after the game.

“This was a fun night and, for me, my best overall night of football.”

He said he just watched the quarterback’s eyes on his key interception.

Quarterback Pete Mitchell looks for an open receiver during Arapahoe’s class 5A playoff game against Bear Creek. He threw a pair of touchdown passes to help the Warriors win the game and advance to the next round of the playoffs. Photos by Tom Munds Arapahoe linebacker Charlie Leonard (33) pulls down Bear Creek quarterback Walker Rumsley (5) in the backfield during the Nov. 6 state Class 5A playoff game.

The score was tied 14-14 at halftime, but the Warriors took charge from there and won the game.

“The quarterback threw the ball up, and the receiver and I battled to catch the ball,” he said. “I made the catch, the receiver grabbed my arm, the ball hit the ground but I was able so scoop it up and run up the field.”

They said it Campbell said Bear Creek did a great job on the opening touchdown drive and then his team made an unforced error, fumbled the ball and Bear Creek scored again.

“We just stuck with our game plan. Bear Creek had several linemen playing both offense and defense and I think we wore them down late in the game,” he said. “It showed late in the game when we were able to run the ball very effectively.”

Going forward Arapahoe advances to the second round of the Class 5A state football playoffs and will play Ralston Valley at 7 p.m. Nov. 13 at

Littleton Public School Stadium.

The Mustangs come into the playoff game with an 8-2 record after beating Fossil Ridge 41-3 in the first round of the playoffs.

Arapahoe falls to Mountain Vista

HERITAGE REACHES SOCCER SEMIFINALS Heritage got goals from three different players and junior keeper Jack Schulze did the rest as the Eagles notched a 3-0 Class 5A state quarterfinal victory over Arvada West on Nov. 7 at Littleton Public Schools Stadium.

Taylor Petkovitch, James Womack and Max Milliman scored for the Continental League champions, and Schulze and the Eagles’ defense thwarted any Arvada West comeback attempts.

Schulze made 15 saves, giving him 144 for the season with an 0.80 goals-against average. It was the eighth shutout for Schulze and the Eagles this season.

Heritage (13-5-0) was scheduled to play defending state champion Broomfield (16-2-0) in a Nov. 11 semifinal game at Sports Authority Field in Parker.

Warriors finish season 13-2-3 following upset loss in quarterfinals

By Jim Benton jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com Arapahoe coach Mark Hampshire could relate to how his players felt.

Mountain Vista, the 28th-seeded team in the Class 5A soccer playoffs, scored two first-half goals, which stood up in a 2-1 quarterfinal victory over the fourth-seeded Warriors on Nov. 7 at Littleton Public Schools Stadium.

“As an alum, I played my last game here and lost in the quarterfinals my senior year,” said Hampshire. “I know what these guys are feeling. I graduated in 1983. Most of my coaching staff is Arapahoe alumni.”

Key moments Mountain Vista’s Brent Lackey and Johnny Derosiers scored first-half goals and the Golden Eagles held off a desperate Arapahoe rally.

“That was by far our slowest start since maybe our first couple games,” said Hampshire, whose team finished with a 13-2-3 record. “It wasn’t a horrible first half, but it was the most disordered we’ve been and Mountain Vista took advantage of it.”

In those games, Ralston Valley has passed for 1,132 yards and rushed for 2,148 yards.

The leading rushers are Kyle Rush with 675 yards and Tyler Shannon with 540 yards.

Mountain Vista’s Davis Auth and Arapahoe’s Hampton Griffin eye a loose ball during the Golden Eagles’ 2-1 quarterfinal playoff victory on Nov. 7. Photo by Jim Benton Key players/statistics Lackey scored in the ninth minute of the game, and Derosiers’ goal came with 7:14 left in the half. Davis Auth and Chase Pacheco picked up assists on the goals.

Chris Grauberger scored for the Warriors with 7:14 left in regulation time but Arapahoe failed to get the tying tally despite putting a lot of pressure on the Vista goal.

They said it “Arapahoe High School boys and girls (soccer program) collectively is the most successful program in the state,” Hampshire said. “The boys know expectations are very high. Not necessarily winning state, but we expect to be here every year.

I know some teams are ecstatic to be here.

These guys had no doubts in their minds they had what it took to get to the show, but they just took a nap for 20 minutes.”

Cherry Creek fifth at state gymnastics Heritage senior Schandle makes event finals

By Tom Munds tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia.com Cherry Creek finished seventh in the team standings, Bruins gymnasts won individual awards and Heritage gymnast Kaela Schandle finished third in the individual floor exercise during the Nov. 6 and 7 state gymnastics championships held at Thornton High School.

Cherry Creek recorded a score of 183.075 to finish fifth in the 5A team standings. Pomona won the 5A team title with a state record score of 190.925.

The Nov. 6 event also included the competitions for the all-around title with the winner scoring the most total points on all four events, floor exercise, vault, balance beam and the uneven parallel bars.

Pomona sophomore Kelsey Boychuk defended her Class 5A all-around title, and Bruin gymnast Samantha Simon finished fourth.

In the Nov. 7 individual championship competitions, Simon finished third on the uneven parallel bars, fourth on the balance beam and sixth in vault.

Teammate Avery Paxton finished fifth in floor exercise. She said her parents put her in gymnastics class when she was 4 years old.

“My parents said I was wild, jumping all over everywhere,” she said. “The idea was to have the class help me burn up some of the energy I had inside me. From that, here I am today in high school gymnastics.”

On Nov. 7, Heritage coach Megan Kling sat in the stands with gymnast Kaela Schandle as they waited for the Eagles senior turn to compete in the Class 5A state individual event gymnastics championship held Nov. 7 at Thornton High School.

The Eagles didn’t qualify to compete in the Nov. 6 team and all-around events, but Schandle did compete in the floor exercise and earned a spot in the individu-

Rocky Mountain’s Autumn Bottke won top honors with a score of 9.92, and Schandle finished third with a score of 9.70.

“The competition level on Nov. 6 was pretty good,” she said. “I felt I competed well, and I guess I did because I am here today.

Schandle competed in the Nov. 6 allaround competition and finished 25th with a score of 36.025. She finished in the top 15 in floor exercise, which qualified her to compete for the Nov. 7 individual championships in that event. She said she was excited as she waited her time to compete in the floor exercise champion-

ships.

“It is my last high school gymnastics meet and it is a little bittersweet, but it is fun,” she said. “I feel I had a good season and I am here at the state individual finals so I did what I wanted to do this year.”

The Eagles senior also is a diver. She said gymnastics works right in with the skills she needs to be successful as a diver.

Kling said it has been a great season for her young Eagles team, which is made up of gymnasts from Heritage and Arapahoe.

“We worked hard and we have improved greatly from last year,” the coach said. “We also are a young team as the majority of our gymnasts are freshmen and sophomores. So we should be even stronger next season.”

Cherry Creek’s Avery Paxton competes in the individual floor exercise championships at the state girls gymnastics meet.

Paxton finished fifth in the competition with a score of 9.500 and, on Nov. 6, the Bruins finished seventh in the team championship.

Know the score:

Rock Canyon quarterbacks coach Tom Tesone went back to his old stomping grounds Nov. 6 when the Jaguars faced Cherry Creek in a Class 5A openinground playoff game.

Tesone, son of legendary Cherry Creek coach Fred Tesone, was an all-state quarterback for the Bruins in the early 1970s before heading to Jim Benton the University of Colorado as a OVERTIME defensive back.

He has coached at Creek, Ranum, Mullen, Bishop Machebeuf and at Rock Canyon for the past five seasons.

He said it has been strange watching from the opposite sideline.

“I had the same kind of feelings before when I was coaching at Mullen,” he said. “Creek had Darnell McDonald, and I remember being on the Mullen sideline in the game against Creek and I had mixed feelings.

I was rooting for my kids and the kids I coached, and now with Rock Canyon, it is the same kind of thing.”

Tesone warned the Jaguars what it would be like to play against Creek.

“You are battling the tradition … and just the mystique of playing Cherry Creek,” he said. “It was exciting.”

Cherry Creek beat the Jaguars 38-7.

Six-time world champion Cindi Toepel, a 64-year-old Littleton resident, added another world championship to her list of accomplishments.

Toepel was first in the 60-64 age division at the Xterra National Championship Nov. 1 in Kapalua, Maui, Hawaii, to win her sixth overall title. The competition includes mountain biking, open water swimming and trail running.

The off-road triathlete had an overall winning time of 4:23.31.

A. The 1986 Exchange 1. Original Decree.

Case No. 86CW388(A), decreed by the District Court in and for Water Division 1 on January 29, 1991, at an annual maximum rate of ten (10.0) cubic feet per second, with an appropriation date of April 21, 1986. The purpose of the appropriative right of substitution and exchange is to permit continuous diversions of water for all municipal purposes, including domestic, industrial, commercial, irrigation, stock watering, recreation, fish and wildlife and fire protection from the alluvial, tributary wells referenced in paragraph 3, above, when diversions would otherwise not be permitted. a.

Pursuant to the decree entered in Case No. 86CW388(A), ACWWA may divert water from the well structures described in paragraph 2, above, in amounts equal to the return flows from the Lone Tree Wastewater Treatment Plant, either through direct discharge to the stream, discharge to rapid infiltration basins, or land application, the credit for lawn grass irrigation return flows, and direct discharges into the stream from the nontributary water rights. b. Pursuant to the decree entered in Case No. 86CW388(A), ACWWA may exchange water and return flow credits from the Lone Tree Wastewater Treatment Plant down Lone Tree Creek to the confluence with Cherry Creek, upstream to any of the wells described herein, specifically including the Antonoff Wells and Loyd Wells located in Section 9, Township 6 South, Range 66 West of the 6th P.M., Douglas County, Colorado. 2. Subsequent Decrees. a. Case No. 97CW395. In Case No. 97CW395, 2.13 cfs of the 10 cfs was decreed absolute, and diligence was found with respect to the remaining 7.87 cfs. b. Case No. 07CW131. In Case No. 07CW131, the remaining 7.87 cfs was continued as conditional. B. The 1988 Exchange 1. Original Decree. Case No. 86CW388(A), decreed by the District Court in and for Water Division 1 on January 29, 1991, at an annual maximum rate of twenty (20.0) cfs, with an appropriation date of April 12, 1988. The purpose of this appropriative right of substitution and exchange was to permit continuous diversions of water for all municipal purposes, including domestic, industrial, commercial, irrigation, stock watering, recreation, fish and wildlife and fire protection from the tributary wells referenced herein, when diversions would otherwise not be permitted. a. Pursuant to the decree entered in Case No. 86CW388(A), Applicant may divert pursuant to the exchange decreed herein so long as sufficient water is released from Cherry Creek Reservoir, or with the approval of the Division Engineer, and sufficient water is transferred to or booked over to other water accounts in Cherry Creek Reservoir to satisfy a senior call. b. ACWWA may exchange water from Cherry Creek Reservoir, upstream to any of the wells described herein, specifically including the Antonoff Wells and Loyd Wells located in Section 9, Township 6 South, Range 66 West of the 6th P.M., Douglas County, Colorado. 2. Subsequent Decrees. a. Case No. 97CW395. In Case No. 97CW395, 0.30 cfs of the 20 cfs was decreed absolute, and diligence was found with respect to the remaining 19.70 cfs. b. Case No. 07CW131. In Case No. 07CW131, the remaining 19.70 cfs was continued as conditional. 4.

Detailed Outline of Work Done for Completion of the Conditional Appropriations and the Application of Water to Beneficial Uses. During this diligence period, ACWWA undertook the following work in furtherance of these conditional water rights, including the following: A. The conditional water rights decreed herein are part of a unified, integrated system which will provide water within ACWWA’s service area. Pursuant to section 37-92-301(4)(b) of the Colorado Revised Statutes, for purposes of demonstrating diligence, work on one feature of the project or system shall be considered in finding that reasonable diligence has been shown in the development of all water rights conditionally decreed herein, and shall constitute diligence toward the development of each of the conditional water rights decreed herein. A detailed list of work done toward completion or for completion of the appropriations and application of water to a beneficial use as conditionally decreed includes, but is not limited to, the following: 1. ACWWA constructed and tested Antonoff Well Nos. 1 and 2. The wells are operational and available to provide water supply as needed.

2. In 2013, ACWWA’s engineering consultants prepared and submitted to the Division Engineer an analysis of lawn irrigation return flows throughout Applicant’s service area. This report is required to be prepared every five years pursuant to the decree entered in Case No. 86CW388(A).

Said return flows will provide part of the physical and legal water supply for all of the structures and conditional water rights described herein. 3. ACWWA is a member of the Upper Cherry Creek Water Association (“UCCWA”). UCCWA developed a regional plan for augmentation, which was decreed in Case No. 01CW284 on December 4, 2007. ACWWA has expended substantial sums on engineering and legal fees in participating in the UCCWA regional plan and litigation.

ACWWA is currently operating under the UCCWA plan. 4. ACWWA initiated its 2007 Master Water Plan update. That update became the draft ACWWA 2011 Integrated Water and Wastewater Master and Management Plan and is currently being finalized by Applicant’s staff and consultants. 5. ACWWA has redrilled and re-

veloped a regional plan for augmentation,

which was decreed in Case No. 01CW284 34 The Independent • The Herald on December 4, 2007. ACWWA has ex-

pended substantial sums on engineering and legal fees in participating in the UCCWA regional plan and litigation.

ACWWA is currently operating under the UCCWA plan. 4. ACWWA initiated its 2007 Master Water Plan update. That update became the draft ACWWA 2011 Integrated Water and Wastewater Master and Management Plan and is currently being finalized by Applicant’s staff and consultants. 5. ACWWA has redrilled and relocated several of its wells and designed and built pipelines that will provide substitute water supplies for the augmentation plans decreed in Case Nos. 86CW388(A) and 90CW201 and pending in Case No. 96CW1144 for the structures described in paragraph 3 of this Decree and for the conditional exchange rights described in paragraph 4 of this Decree. 6. ACWWA has developed a nonpotable water system, which may be served in part by the structures and Subject Water Rights described in paragraph 3 of this Decree.

ACWWA has constructed some of the facilities necessary to operate the nonpotable system. That system is currently being expanded, in part by the current construction of Chambers Reservoir in Douglas County. 7. ACWWA and Cottonwood Water and Sanitation District (“CWSD”) jointly developed a Joint Water Purification Plant (“JWPP”), which became operational in 2010 and is currently serving both entities. The operation of the JWPP requires some level of integration of the water systems of the two entities.

Some adjustments to prior decrees are being sought in pending case Nos. 96CW1144 (ACWWA) and 08CW028 (CWSD). ACWWA and CWSD secured approval of joint Substitute Water Supply Plans in both cases from 2010 to the present. Those Plans are necessary to support JWPP operations. In connection with the JWPP construction, ACWWA has also completed extensive testing of the water supplies in the Happy Canyon Creek drainage adjacent to the JWPP. Surface water and groundwater claims from Happy Canyon Creek are now pending in ACWWA’s amended Case No. 96CW1144. 8. ACWWA obtained a decree in Case No. 09CW101, which adjudicated additional Denver Basin groundwater and a Well Field. The water supplies from this case will be integrated into ACWWA’s system and the return flows from these uses will provide part of the augmentation supply for the Conditional Water Rights described in paragraph 3 of this Decree. These water supplies have been added to ACWWA’s pending plan for augmentation in Case No. 96CW1144. 9.

ACWWA entered into an Intergovernmental Agreement (“IGA”) with East Cherry Creek Valley Water and Sanitation District and United Water and Sanitation District dated December 15, 2009. One of the major elements of the IGA is to bring new water supplies to ACWWA’s service area from areas north of Denver.

ACWWA’s portion of this project is known as the “ACWWA Flow Water Project.”

These supplies will provide additional potable water and will be reusable. The return flows from the ACWWA Flow Water Project will provide additional augmentation supplies, allowing further development of the conditional water rights decreed in Case No. 90CW201. In furtherance of the goals of the IGA, ACWWA filed four new cases, Case Nos. 10CW306, 10CW312, 10CW313, which have since been decreed, and Case No. 11CW151, which is currently pending in Water Division 1. ACWWA also intervened as a Co-Applicant with United Water and Sanitation District in Case No. 09CW283. 10. ACWWA’s pending plan for augmentation in Case No. 96CW1144 was most recently amended on December 31, 2010. That proceeding will result in additional augmentation supplies being available to support the use of the conditional water rights adjudicated in Case Nos. 86CW388(A) and 90CW201. The amended proceeding now also seeks adjudication of a storage water right for Chambers Reservoir in Douglas County.

The predominant use of Chambers Reservoir is expected to be as an element of ACWWA’s nonpotable water system and for management and release of augmentation water supplies. 11. ACWWA is a member of the Cherry Creek Project Water Authority (“CCPWA”), together with several other municipal water providers.

During the diligence period, CCPWA has been active in the purchase of water rights, planning, and engineering, and the filing of the applications and entries of final decrees in Case No. 10CW318 (regional plan for augmentation on Cherry Creek) and Case No. 11CW56 (change of Denver Basin groundwater rights). 12.

During the diligence period, ACWWA, as a member of CCPWA, and Parker Water and Sanitation District negotiated a Water Trade and Utilization Pilot Project Intergovernmental Agreement (“Agreement”).

The Agreement was entered into on November 1, 2013. 13. During the diligence period, ACWWA has been an active objector in numerous Water Court cases involving Cherry Creek, in which it seeks to protect its decreed water rights, including the Conditional Water Rights described herein. 5. Claim to Make Absolute a Portion of the Conditional Water Rights. A. During this diligence period, ACWWA has diverted in priority, captured, possessed, controlled, and beneficially used water from the following wells and in the following amounts, which it hereby claims as ABSOLUTE: 1. Race Well No. 1: 1.95 cfs of 2.67 cfs, diverted in priority from July 11-17, 2011, leaving 0.72 cfs as conditional. 2. Ford Well No. 2: 1.23 cfs of 2.67 cfs, diverted in priority from May 24-30, 2010, leaving 1.44 cfs as conditional. 3. Murdock Well No. 2: 0.44 cfs of 1.78 cfs, diverted in priority from May 2430, 2010, leaving 1.34 cfs as conditional.

4. Deem Well: 1.22 cfs of 1.22 cfs, diverted in priority from May 24-30, 2010, leaving 0.00 cfs as conditional. 5. Smith Well No. 1: 1.67 cfs of 1.67 cfs, diverted in priority from May 24-30, 2010, leaving 0.00 cfs as conditional. 6. Loyd Well No. 2: 2.74 cfs of 2.74 cfs, diverted in priority from May 24-30, 2010, leaving 0.00 cfs as conditional. B. During this diligence period, ACWWA operated the 1986 Exchange in the amount of 3.66 cfs from July 25-31, 2011. ACWWA therefore claims as absolute 3.66 cfs of the 10 cfs total exchange rate, leaving 6.34 cfs as conditional. 6.

WHEREAS, the Deed of Trust was insured by the United States Secretary of Housing and Urban Development (“Secretary”) pursuant to the National Housing Act for the purpose of providing single family housing; and WHEREAS, the Note and Deed of Trust are now owned by the Secretary, pursuant to the following assignments: assignment dated October 15, 2009 and recorded on October 29, 2009, as Reception No. B9118725 in the Office of the Clerk and Recorder of the County of Arapahoe, Colorado; and assignment dated November 16, 2009 and recorded November 24, 2009, as reception No. B9128314 in the office of the Clerk and Recorder of the County of Arapahoe, Colorado; and WHEREAS, a default has been made in the covenants and conditions of the Deed of Trust in that the borrowers are deceased under paragraph 9(a)(i) of the Deed of Trust, and the Real Property is not the principal residence of at least one surviving borrower; and WHEREAS, the entire amount delinquent as of June 27, 2015 is $163,190.12 plus fees and costs of the Foreclosure Commissioner; and WHEREAS, by virtue of this default, the Secretary has declared the entire amount of the indebtedness secured by the Deed of Trust to be immediately due and payable; NOW, THEREFORE, pursuant to powers vested in me by the Single Family Mortgage Foreclosure Act of 1994, 12 U.S.C., §3751 et seq., by 24 CFR Part 27 Subpart B, and by the Secretary’s designation of me as Foreclosure Commissioner, dated October 22, 2012, a copy of which is attached hereto and recorded of even date hereof, notice is hereby given that on: DATE OF SALE: November 18, 2015 TIME OF SALE: at 11:00 a.m. local time PLACE OF SALE: At the front steps of the County Administration Building 5334 South Prince Street Littleton, CO 80120 all of the Real Property and all of the personal property at or used in connection with the Real Property, as described below, will be sold at public action to the highest bidder: Lot 19, Block 3, Hillside Addition to Aurora Subdivision, County of Arapahoe, State of Colorado (referred to as the “Real Property”) which has an address of: 1206 Hillside Street, Aurora, Colorado 80010 The Secretary of Housing and Urban Development will bid $164,866.20 plus any additional fees and costs of the foreclosure commissioner.

There will be no proration of taxes, rents or other income or liabilities, except that the purchaser will pay, at or before closing, his prorata share of any real estate taxes that have been paid by the Secretary to the date of the foreclosure sale.

When making their bids, all bidders except the Secretary must submit a deposit totaling $ 16,487.00 (10% of the Secretary's bid) in the form of a certified check or cashier's check made out to the Secretary of HUD. Each oral bid need not be accompanied by an additional deposit. If the successful bid is oral, a deposit of $ 16,487.00 must be presented before the bidding is closed.

The deposit of the successful bidder is nonrefundable. The remainder of the purchase price must be delivered within 30 days of the sale or at such other time as the Secretary may determine for good cause shown, time being of the essence.

This amount, like the bid deposits, must be delivered in the form of a certified or cashier's check. If the Secretary is the high bidder, he need not pay the bid amount in cash. The successful bidder will pay all conveyancing fees, all real estate and other taxes that are due on or after the delivery of the remainder of the payment and all other costs associated with the transfer of title. At the conclusion of the sale, the deposits of the unsuccessful bidders will be returned to them.

The Secretary may grant an extension of time within which to deliver the remainder of the payment. All extensions will be for 15-day increments for a fee of $500.00, paid in advance. The extension fee shall be in the form of a certified or cashiers check made payable to the Secretary of HUD. If the high bidder closes the sale prior to the expiration of any extension period, the unused portion of the extension fee shall be applied toward the amount due. If the high bidder is unable to close the sale within the required period, or within any extensions of time granted by the Secretary, the high bidder may be required to forfeit the cash deposit or, at the election of the foreclosure commissioner after consultation with the HUD Field Office representative, will be liable to HUD for any costs incurred as a result of such failure.

The Commissioner may, at the direction of the HUD Field Office Representative, offer the Property to the second highest bidder for an amount equal to the highest price offered by that bidder.

There is no right of redemption, or right of possession based upon a right of redemption, in the mortgagor or others subsequent to a foreclosure completed pursuant to the Act. Therefore, the Foreclosure Commissioner will issue a Deed to the purchaser(s) upon receipt of the entire purchase price in accordance with the terms of the sale as provided herein. HUD does not guarantee that the property will be vacant, and has no obligation to deliver the property vacant.

The scheduled foreclosure sale shall be cancelled or adjourned if it is established, by documented written application of the mortgagor to the Foreclosure Commissioner not less than 3 days before the date of sale, or otherwise, that the default or defaults upon which the foreclosure sale is based did not exist at the time of service of this notice of default and foreclosure sale, or all amounts due under the Note and Deed of Trust are tendered to the Foreclosure Commissioner, in the form of a certified or cahier’s check payable to the Secretary of HUD, before public auction of the property is completed.

School has a lot to say Immersion programs launch kids with second languages

By Clarke Reader creader@coloradocommunitymedia.com

R

achel Gutierrez’s reason for enrolling her 3-year-old daughter in a dual-language program where she splits her day between Spanish and English was

simple: “I wish I had learned a second language, and I figure this is a way we can give our daughter a raise later in life,” said Gutierrez, whose family has a Spanishlanguage background. “Businesses are always looking for bilingual workers, so we’re giving her a great start.”

That focus on language is the top priority for Global Village Academies, a charter school that emphasizes cultural immersion. Its has K-8 schools in Northglenn and Parker, and its international preschool programs are located in Arvada, Lakewood, Littleton, Parker and Lafayette, with more on the way.

“At our preschools, students spend 50 percent of the day immersed in their target language,” said Anne Yost, director of Global Village’s Lakewood location.

“We use a High-Scope curriculum, which is play-based. We believe when the kids

have a choice, they are more engaged in their learning.”

The school is open year-round from 6:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. to accommodate families with busy schedules who can choose from two-, three- and five-day schedules.

Preschoolers decide between Mandarin and Spanish as their language of focus, and complete activities and plans that ensure they retain their new language knowledge.

“We’re seeing more and more parents wanting to ensure their children get started with languages young,” Yost said. “Kids start to comprehend language really early, so we’re getting bilingual parents who want to make sure their children stay up with their second language, and parents who want second-language exposure.”

Global Village aims to keep classes small — the Lakewood location where Gutierrez’s daughter attends can accommodate about 65 preschoolers — and has two instructors for each age group. This commitment to personal teaching is one of Gutierrez’s favorite aspects about the school.

Teachers like the personalized approach, too.

“I was teaching in Jeffco for two years before coming here, and I speak five languages,” said Margot Aguilera, who

Global Village International preschools give students an opportunity to get started with Spanish or Mandarin at an early age, when it’s easier for them to pick it up. Photo by Anne Yost

BENEFITS OF LEARNING A SECOND LANGUAGE Studying a foreign language can lead to:

• Better ability to hypothesize in science

• Higher academic achievement on standardized test measures and college-entrance exams, such as ACT and SAT

• Higher academic performance at the college level

• Improvement in students’ reading abilities

November 12, 2015 Emily Reyes looks over her artistic creation that will be sent to Washington, D.C. Reyes and 11 other Bishop Elementary School students each created ornaments that will be part of the National Parks Foundation display at the Dec. 3 National Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony.

Bazaar Continued from Page 1

The project is to pay tribute to the upcoming National Park Service Centennial in 2016.

The parks foundation sent the school the dozen plastic globes the students were each assigned to create the decorations to go inside the globes representing one aspect of colorful Colorado.

Clarice Fortunato, who oversees the 21st century grant projects at Bishop, said she applied to have the students create ornaments last year.

“It was a total surprise and very exciting when we were told we would be creating ornaments this year,” she said. “This is about national parks, two of Colorado’s parks are making six ornaments each and we are the only school in Colorado creating ornaments.”

She said the standard clear plastic globes were sent to Bishop from Washington.

“Art teacher Kate Dulaney said she was inspired by an exhibit at Denver Botanical Gardens and worked with the kids on the ornaments,” Fortunato said.

“The kids cut up recycled water bottles, painted them to look like glass and then each child was asked to create something to represent our state like the mountains, a gold nugget and a columbine.”

Briseyda Martinez was one of the art-

ists who created the ornaments.

“I thought we were very lucky for our school to have the opportunity to make these ornaments,” the fourth-grader said.

“Our school isn’t as well-known as other schools. I was assigned to do the purple mountains and a sunset. It was a lot of fun.”

She said she likes art because she is pretty good at it. She also said she liked working on her ornament because she loves Colorado’s mountains plus she loves the color purple.

Sixth-grader Zaveah Garcia said it was a big deal that she and the other Bishop students were selected to decorate the ornaments out of all the schools in the state.

“This is my last year at Bishop and it was great to be part of doing the ornaments that will go to Washington, D.C.,” she said. “Art is one of my favorite things to do because you can express your feelings on paper.”

She said she was assigned to create a representation of a golden nugget. She said it was hard to do and she thought her nugget looked more like Sponge Bob. “If I had a chance to do the project again, I would try to make my art look more like a golden nugget,” she said.

Faculty members carefully packed the ornaments and sent them to Washington, D.C. However, Bishop Principal Linda Lewis, Dulaney and Fortunato will see the ornaments again as they have been invited to attend the Dec. 3 tree lighting ceremony in the National Capital.

teaches Spanish at the Lakewood location. “I was looking for something different, something with more interaction with the kids.”

Young children’s minds are sponges, Aguilera added, and lessons that seem difficult to adults are actually quickly understood by children.

Mandarin instructor Chen Chen said she is constantly impressed by how much her students retain of such a complicated language.

“Learning a language is not just learning how to speak it, but write it as well,” she said. “I really enjoy getting a chance to share my culture with the kids. And when they follow along and speak with me, I get so excited.”

Parents are looking for opportunities to expose their children to more diversity and cultural variety, according to Yost, which is one reason Global Village is seeing an increase in interest.

“Our biggest priority is that the children are in a place they feel safe and loved,” she said. “If that’s in place, the sky is the limit in relation to what they learn.

For so many parents, the gift of foreign language is not a gift they can give to their children.”
