Council selects Hargrove as short-term city manager City eyes possible audit of Englewood Environmental Foundation

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

And yet, Sunday marked a century to the day since the armistice that ended World War I. The soft blanket of snow offered a tribute of its own, its muffling stillness commemorating the day the guns of Europe fell silent.

Two weeks after the Englewood City Council’s first choice for a temporary replacement for the city manager position fell through, the council chose an official who has directed the city’s parks, recreation and library for the interim post.

The vote to approve Dorothy Hargrove, who had also been serving as the interim assistant city manager, was unanimous at the Nov. 5 council meeting.

“She has shown her dedication to the city for many, many years now,” said Councilmember Dave Cuesta, alongside other comments in praise of Hargrove by the council.

Hargrove promised to do her best for the city as the temporary replacement for former City Manager Eric Keck.

“I hope that I earn the trust that you put in me,” Hargrove told the council.

The city manager is Englewood’s top non-elected administrative official, who implements policy decisions made by the council.

hey are older men now, their beards white and their shoulders drooped. But when Littleton’s veterans stood at attention and saluted their nation’s flag on Veterans Day, in their eyes burned

the steely gaze of the warriors they once were.

Only a handful braved the snow whipping around the Littleton World War II Memorial in Ketring Park on Nov. 11. The snow prompted the event’s hosts, VFW Post 4666 and American Legion Post 103, to cancel the planned bagpipe ensemble and 21-gun salute.

Voters approve largest-ever LPS bond District will spend $298 million to rebuild, revamp schools

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Littleton Public Schools will kick off a long-term effort to rebuild many of the district’s buildings after voters approved Ballot Issue 4A, a $298 million bond.

The measure passed by a wide margin, with about 57 percent of the vote, according to updated results posted Nov. 8, two days after Election Ewert Day. “The voters have stepped up,” said LPS Superintendent Brian Ewert. “The community realized we needed to do something significant to get ahead of the game on school construction.”

District officials say the bond will help them better prepare students for life after school and begin replacing the district’s aging buildings.

The measure is the largest LPS has ever asked for, and will increase property taxes in the district by $29

to $49 per $100,000 of actual home value per year. That means a resident with a home worth $500,000 could see an increase of $145 to $245 a year.

In return, district officials say, students will receive a laundry list of benefits: several elementary schools on the southeast side of the district in Centennial will be rebuilt or retooled, a new stadium would be built at Newton Middle School to ease pressure on Littleton Public Schools Stadium, and the district will outfit a career and technical education center where students could learn vocational skills.

“I think the most significant thing is that this will allow us to address a backlog of issues around access for people with disabilities,” Ewert said.

“We have kids, faculty, parents and grandparents who can’t get around our buildings very easily, and now we can start fixing that.”

Ewert said it is the beginning of a long-term effort to replace the district’s buildings, which have an average age of 58 years.

More than half of the bond money will go toward projects to rebuild or revamp several schools.

“There’s something in this for every school,” said Littleton Board of Education President Jack Reutzel.

“There are so many boilers to replace and roofs to fix.”

Among the big projects, at roughly $75 million, will be to build a new, two-story school on the Newton Middle School campus at Arapahoe Road and Colorado Boulevard in Centennial while school is still in session at Newton. The district’s current timeline anticipates beginning construction in 2020, with completion in the fall of 2021.

Newton’s structural integrity is failing, Ewert said, and disability access issues mean that it can take a student on crutches or in a wheelchair 20 minutes to get from one side of the school to the other.

Another quarter of the bond money will go toward a systematic retooling of elementary schools on the district’s southeastern side.

The time has come to build a new school on the site of the old Ames Elementary School near Dry Creek Road and Colorado Boulevard, one of two schools shuttered in 2008, Ewert said. The other closed school, Whitman Elementary, has since become the district’s alternative high school.

Though Ames was closed in part due to paltry enrollment, that corner of the district has seen an influx of new families in recent years, Ewert said. Roughly 500 students in the old Ames “catchment” area are now bussed to Highland, Franklin and Lenski elementary schools.

As well as rebuilding Ames, Franklin Elementary near deKoevend Park will get a new building while school was still in session at the old building. Once the new building at Franklin is completed, Highland Elementary — which is less than a mile from Franklin — will be closed and its student body absorbed into Franklin.

District officials anticipate the Ames project will be complete by the fall of 2021, with Franklin’s rebuild completed by the fall of 2022.

Highland will then absorb some of the programming at Ames, including preschool programs and possibly TLC Meals on Wheels, which currently uses Ames’ kitchen.

Reutzel said the bond has implications for all of the district’s residents, even those without kids.

“Voters understand the value of a well-regarded school district,” Reutzel said. “It has positive impacts for property values too.”

Passing a large bond that results in a tax increase is a hefty responsibility, Reutzel said.

“We don’t take tax burdens lightly,” Reutzel said. “We believe that we have developed a relationship with voters that they expect great things and we deliver. In return, we expect them to support us when it makes sense, and that was evident on election night.”

Voters reject statewide education funding measure Supporters are hoping to spark ongoing conversations

BY SHANNA FORTIER SFORTIER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Many educators across Colorado believe voters missed an opportunity to support students when they voted down Amendment 73, a constitutional amendment that would have instituted a graduated income tax increase on individuals earning more than $150,000

a year and increased the corporate income tax rate from 4.63 percent to 6 percent.

“The loss of Amendment 73 is heartbreaking,” said Angela Anderson, a social studies teacher at Bear Creek High School, part of Jefferson County Public Schools. “I feel like the voters in Colorado support our schools and education, but we can’t fund our schools on gratitude. My students are worth the investment, and I am determined to keep going in order for them to have a fully funded public education.”

Members of the Douglas County

Federation of Teachers, the teachers’ union, felt the same way.

“Colorado has chronically underfunded our schools even as we have a strong economy,” said Kallie Leyba, president of the federation. “We are very concerned about what the implications for Douglas County will be, as well as the implications for districts across our state … Colorado cannot afford to continue to underfund PK-12 education without hurting our community and our economy.”

About 55 percent of Colorado voters

said no to Amendment 73 in the Nov. 6 election, according to results posted Nov. 8. In the extended Denver metro area, only Denver, Broomfield and Boulder counties passed the amendment.

The measure, which would have brought about $1.6 billion to school districts throughout the state, also aimed to created a fixed residential property tax rates at 7 percent, preventing school districts from falling further behind in funding due to the Gallagher Amendment.

Coffman’s reign ends amid Trump backlash CD6 one of many offices flipped by pro-Democrat wave in Colorado

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

In a swath of suburban Denver, Republican U.S. Rep. Mike Coffman survived a redrawing of his district’s map seven years ago that brought more ethnic diversity into electoral play.

A few years later, he fended off a challenge by a former state House speaker. Next, he kept a former state Senate leader at bay, cruising to victory in 2016 even as district voters supported Hillary Coffman Clinton by a wide margin.

In a district known for the deep immigrant culture in Aurora, Coffman had appeared near-invincible, but his hold on the seat ended with the Nov. 6 election. And the five-term congressman’s kryptonite, political analysts say, Crow may have been President Donald Trump.

“No other Republican could have won and held onto that district like Mike did,” said Dick Wadhams, political strategist and former chairman of the Colorado Republican Party. “But this time the anti-Trump sentiment was just too deep, too strong.”

Coffman has clashed with Trump more than a few times, and the president expressed little concern for the congressman’s downfall.

“Too bad, Mike,” Trump said at a news conference Nov. 7.

Coffman’s loss to newcomer Jason Crow, an attorney and military veteran, came amid Colorado’s manifestation of the much-mentioned blue wave, a predicted flurry of Democratic wins amid backlash against the president.

Democrats swept the high-profile state offices, electing an openly gay man — current U.S. Rep. Jared Polis — to a

governor’s seat for the first time in the nation’s history.

Coffman couldn’t be reached for comment by Colorado Community Media, but he offered thoughts in the concession speech that capped his nationally watched race, the Associated Press reported.

“In the end,” Coffman said, “the waves were too big for this ship to stay afloat.”

Writing on the wall Crow led Coffman by about 11 percentage points, about 54.1 to 42.9, in unofficial results the night of Nov. 8.

That margin surpassed Wadhams’ expectations, but the loss wasn’t a shock, he said.

“Because again, Trump was so unpopular in the 6th District,” said Wadhams, who noted it was clear in the early analysis of Colorado’s ballots that Republicans wouldn’t have the advantage they had in past midterms.

In early voting during the 2014 midterms, about 110,000 more Republicans than Democrats voted, according to Wadhams.

But this year, Democrats held about a 7,000-ballot lead just after midnight on Election Day, according to the Colorado Secretary of State’s Office. That gap widened to nearly 20,000 votes as of Nov. 8. What’s more, unaffiliated voters — who ended up outvoting Democrats by about 30,000 votes — showed as the largest voting bloc, and they leaned blue.

“We saw in the primary (election in June) that unaffiliateds took the Democratic ballot over the Republican ballot 60 to 40,” Wadhams said. Unaffiliated voters showed a lean in the Nov. 6 election, too, he added.

“We’ve never seen that kind of turnout, and they definitely tilted toward Democrats,” Wadhams said.

Matter of immigration In the district’s anchor, Aurora, about one in five people was foreign-born, and Trump’s views on immigration may have hurt Coffman, said Robert Preuhs, political science professor at Metropolitan State University of Denver.

“A lot of the administration’s message leading up to election had been

immigration and stirring that level of fear, that immigrant communities essentially saw that and literally saw red, and turned their vote to blue,” Preuhs guessed. “I think that’s a big part of it.”

Trump made a caravan of Central American migrants making its way through Mexico a focal point in the weeks leading up to the election, claiming the group includes criminals and people from the Middle East, national outlets reported. Public-school students speak more than 160 languages in Aurora, a place where voters strongly favor Democrats. Both Coffman and Crow call the city home.

“I don’t know if (Coffman) would have lost if there wasn’t that substantial immigrant community in his district, or if there was not a blue wave,” Preuhs said. “The combination of the two really led to it.”

In addition to Democratic stronghold Aurora, the district includes south suburbs like Centennial, Littleton and Highlands Ranch, which have traditionally voted Republican, and to the north, Brighton and part of Thornton, which are part of decidedly blue Adams County. Aurora accounts for about 44 percent of the district’s roughly 815,000 people.

The 6th District once comprised only a portion of Aurora and was mainly made up of GOP strongholds, encompassing almost the entire south metro area, including Castle Rock on the south end and Elbert County to the east. But after a redrawing of the lines in 2011, the district includes Aurora and stretches north all the way to parts of Adams County. Gone from the district are Elbert County and Douglas County, except for Highlands Ranch.

Coffman has taken a different tone on immigration since the district changed, Wadhams has said. He’s been proactive in reaching out to minority communities in the district.

The past two Democrats who ran against Coffman were Andrew Romanoff in 2014 and Morgan Carroll in 2016, both of whom were established politicians after having served in the state Legislature. Romanoff served as state House speaker and Carroll as state Senate president.

In a district where Clinton beat

Trump by 9 points, Coffman still won his race in 2016 by 8 points. Many voted for Clinton while also voting for Coffman, Wadhams has said.

Coffman, a military veteran, was first elected to the seat in 2008.

Larger picture The Cook Political Report, a prominent, nonpartisan newsletter that analyzes elections, listed CD6 as one of 30 toss-ups in the country — and the only one in Colorado — in September.

The question on the national radar was if the district would finally flip blue, given its demographic makeup.

The Democrats’ chances of taking control of the U.S. House on Nov. 6 were expected to be reflected in this race’s outcome, local pundits had said.

“The Democrats took the House but not by a huge margin,” Wadhams said.

“Republicans gained seats in the U.S. Senate. Nationally, it was more of a mixed result, unlike in Colorado, where it was clearly a Democratic landslide.”

Crow sought to capitalize on backlash toward the president and tried to paint Coffman as being in lockstep with Trump and out of touch with the people of the district, a charge his campaign vehemently denied.

Tyler Sandberg, Coffman’s campaign manager, said previously that Coffman has broken with Trump on issues like health care and sanctioning Russia.

Underscoring Trump’s influence, Coffman said the race for his seat was a “referendum on the president,” the Associated Press reported.

In his concession speech, Coffman touched on the demographics of his district and said spending time with diverse communities made him a better congressman and a better person, the AP reported.

Crow, who couldn’t be reached for comment after the election, looked to sow unity in his victory speech, praising Coffman as a hard worker who served his country well. He also touched on diversity in his address, calling it an attribute that makes the country strong.

“Americans value and celebrate our diversity,” Crow said. “We are more than just a melting pot of cultures — we are a vibrant melting pot of ideas.”

Voters reject 73, 112, transportation measures STAFF REPORT

Voters said “nay” on many of the state’s most contentious ballot issues on Nov. 6.

Here’s a look at some of those measures: • Nearly 55 percent of voters said no to Amendment 73. The amendment aimed to create new revenue for public education by instituting a graduated income tax increase on individuals earning more than $150,000 a year, and increasing the corporate income tax rate from 4.63 percent to 6.0 percent. The

measure would also have fixed residential property tax rates at 7.0 percent, preventing them from falling further due to the Gallagher Amendment.

• A pair of transportationfunding measures were rejected. Both Proposition 109 and 110 saw about 60 percent of voters say no. Proposition 109 would have done so by allowing the state to borrow up to $3.5 billion with a total repayment of up to $5.2 million. Proposition 110 would have raised funds through a sales tax increase.

• About 56 percent of voters said no to Proposition 112.

The measure would have banned oil and gas developments within 2,500 feet of a private residence or highoccupancy structure. Many opponents said this would have cost the state thousands of jobs.

The following is a rundown of all the statewide ballot measures, with results posted as of the morning of Nov. 8.

Amendment A Yes: 65.1 percent No: 34.9 percent

Amendment V Yes: 35.1 percent No: 64.9 percent Amendment W Yes: 53.3 percent No: 46.7 percent Amendment X Yes: 60.6 percent No: 39.4 percent Amendment Y Yes: 71.1 percent No: 28.9 percent Amendment Z Yes: 70.7 percent No: 29.3 percent Amendment 73 Yes: 45.1 percent No: 54.9 percent

Fire inclusion passes in Littleton

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

South Metro Fire Rescue will absorb Littleton into the boundaries of its consolidated regional district after voters approved Ballot Question 7B, which was winning with 58.8 percent of the vote with 18,560 votes counted on the afternoon of Nov. 8.

The measure creates the secondlargest fire department in the state, and increases property taxes to pay for what officials call superior fire service.

City officials called the vote a win for citizens.

“I’m very grateful to the voters that they saw the value of inclusion,” said Littleton Mayor Debbie Brinkman.

“This is exactly how we should be handling the fire authority.”

Fire protection is the most important service a city provides its citizens, said City Manager Mark Relph.

“You’ve got to get it right,” Relph said. “South Metro provides far better financial stability than the city ever did.”

Littleton Fire Rescue, the city’s firefighting service, will be dissolved

at the end of 2018, and the city will begin contracting with South Metro Fire Rescue, a large regional district, on Jan. 1, 2019. The city will pay South Metro for fire service out of its coffers for the first year, but beginning in 2020, property owners will begin paying South Metro directly.

If voters had rejected the inclusion measure, Littleton would have continued contracting with South Metro anyway, with South Metro holding repeated votes seeking inclusion.

Currently, homeowners in Littleton pay a mill levy of 6.662, part of which pays for fire service. South Metro, however, charges 9.25 mills for its service. An ordinance passed earlier this year requires city staff to submit a budget for 2020 that drops the city’s mill levy rate to 2.0 beginning in 2020.

The difference means that a homeowner will see a property tax increase of $148.65 a year on a home worth $450,000, according to city estimates.

The vote is a win for South Metro and Littleton, said South Metro Fire Rescue Chief Bob Baker.

“This provides surety and security moving forward, knowing Littleton is a full member,” Baker said. “We don’t have to worry what will happen in a couple years, as we would on a

FUNDING FROM PAGE 2

Supporters of the measure said funding shortfalls — largely blamed on the Taxpayer Bill of Rights, or TABOR — have resulted in educators leaving the profession, vacant teaching positions across the state and fewer experienced professionals in classrooms.

But Jesse Mallory, the state director of Americans for Prosperity, an organization that advocates for conservative causes, said Coloradans were rightly leery of a large tax increase without guaranteed results.

“The Legislature should instead look at ways to increase funding by cutting wasteful spending, ending fraud and abuse, and eliminating handouts and tax loopholes for powerful and well-connected special interests,” Mallory said in a news release.

Education leaders in Littleton Public Schools take the failure of the measure as a learning experience.

“Tax increases are difficult to pass,” said Brian Ewert, LPS superintendent, whose district saw a bond measure pass by a wide margin on Nov. 6. “We need to step back and look at what voters told us.”

Ewert said leaders need to think about what

part of the tax policy was objectionable, what a tax policy should look like and who should be at the table to discuss it.

“Amendments that include tax increases are difficult to pass,” he said. “Hopefully, this will send a message to the entire state to advocate for public education.”

Jack Reutzel, Littleton Public Schools Board of Education president, is hopeful that the Democrats’ push in the state Legislature will allow for more talks about increasing statewide education funding in the future.

“With the change in the makeup of the state Legislature, we think we’re going to have a sympathetic ear for K-12 education at the state House,” Reutzel said.

Those sentiments are shared by Lisa Weil, executive director of Great Education Colorado, part of the coalition that supported 73.

“This conversation, and the effort for equitable funding for Colorado schools, will continue, as will the broad-based coalition that came together to help our schools, kids and teachers,” Weil said.

“Together, we’ve changed the conversation and established that school funding is in crisis in Colorado. We’ve addressed it at the grassroots level, we’ve made our voices heard and we expect our public officials to listen and to come together on solutions.”

DeGette keeps congressional seat STAFF REPORT

In the race for the 1st Congressional District seat, incumbent Diana DeGette won a 12th term on Nov. 6.

The Democrat garnered 71 percent of the vote compared to Republican Casper Stockham’s 26.4 percent, as of results posted Nov. 8. Libertarian Raymon Doane was pulling 2.6 percent.

DeGette, a Denver resident, was first elected to the U.S. House seat in 1996 after the incumbent, fellow Democrat Pat Schroeder, opted not to run for a 13th term.

Prior to joining Congress, DeGette served two terms in the Colorado House of Representatives, including a post as DeGette assistant minority leader.

Voters restore closed-door sessions for city council Measure repeals 2013 law that was among strictest in state STAFF REPORT

Just five years after a citizen initiative passed with nearly threequarters of the vote, Littleton voters changed their minds and restored city council’s ability to hold closeddoor executive sessions.

Ballot Question 3E, which was passing with 53.5 percent of the vote with 19,119 votes counted at 4 p.m. on Nov. 8, reverses restrictions on executive sessions imposed by a 2013 citizen initiative.

City officials argued executive sessions are important to handling city business like negotiating beneficial real estate deals, handling personnel matters and drafting safety plans.

Mayor Brinkman said she’s grateful to citizens for restoring the privilege of executive sessions.

“It’s a tool council uses in service of the community,” Brinkman said.

“The community recognized that this council and leadership is in working in their service. We’ll take this as a sign of support, and we’ll respect this privilege.”

The 2013 law that Measure 3E repealed was among the strictest in the state, said Jeff Roberts, executive director of the Colorado Freedom of Information Coalition, in an August interview.

The law limited the reasons council could hold an executive session to “matters required to be kept confidential by Federal and State laws” or to “confer with an attorney regarding a legal action already filed in a court of law.”

Ballot Question 3E is still more restrictive than state law in some regards: it requires all executive sessions to be taped, whereas state law allows an exemption for attorney meetings. State law also allows executive sessions to discuss collective bargaining agreements, whereas 3E makes no mention of such discussions.

Council will still be prohibited from taking any official action while in executive session, and any decisions made arising from an executive session must to be made in a formal open session.

Carol Brzeczek, the local political stalwart who introduced and championed the 2013 measure that restricted executive sessions, declined to comment on the repeal.

Speaking to city council in August, Brzeczek said she felt the restrictive law worked well.

“I like to see decisions made publicly,” Brzeczek said, citing the 2016 firing of city manager Michael Penny, which was done in open council. “That goes away if you start closing the doors again.”

Brinkman said she doesn’t yet have anything in mind to discuss in executive session.

“When something does come along, like negotiations for land or legal advice, we’ll discuss those in accordance with the law. We’re not going to rush into a bunch of sessions.”

Relph said executive sessions will better equip the city to handle sensitive issues.

“We may start looking at some property acquisitions for open space near the river, and executive sessions will help us get the best deal with taxpayer money,” Relph said.

Charter amendments fail Voters strongly rejected a series of other amendments to the city charter — Ballot Questions 3A-3D — which, if passed, would have had a variety of impacts on city business.

3A-3D were billed by the city as “housekeeping” amendments meant to clean up redundant or inefficient language in the city charter.

Each of the amendments drew lengthy statements in opposition in the city’s blue book voter guide, written by Brzeczek.

3A sought to combine two charter sections detailing qualifications to serve on city council.

3B would have changed charter language regarding the qualifications and roles of the city attorney and their staff.

3C was intended to modernize the role of the city’s municipal judge.

3D would have combined sections of the charter related to licenses and permits for temporary use of city property, and delegated oversight to the city manager.

Brinkman attributed the measures’ failure to a lack of adequate messaging on the city’s part.

“We didn’t do a very good job of explaining those,” Brinkman said.

“They were simply cleanup. There was no substantive change to the charter.”

Brinkman said the city isn’t worse off because the amendments didn’t pass.

“I’m not going to lose any sleep over those,” Brinkman said.

Relph agreed that the amendments’ failure was from lack of attention.

“We didn’t have enough community discussion around those,” Relph said. “Lesson learned. They would have brought efficiency, but I think people got skeptical when they saw that we just called them ‘housekeeping.’”

New Interatrial Shunt Device available for diastolic heart failure patients at South Denver Cardiology Associates SPONSORED CONTENT The South Denver Heart Center in Littleton is the only place in Colorado where patients suffering from diastolic heart failure, also known as heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), have potential hope in a new investigational device known as the Corvia® InterAtrial Shunt Device (IASD®).

Dr. Ajay Yadlapati and South Denver Cardiology Associates have been approved to take part in the REDUCE LAP-HF II Clinical Study to evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of the IASD System II to reduce elevated left Dr. Ajay Yadlapati atrial pressure in patients with HFpEF or mid-range ejection fraction (HFmrEF).

The InterAtrial Shunt Device (IASD®), also known as the Corvia® Atrial Decompression System, is the world’s first transcatheter device designed to treat HFpEF/HFmrEF. After creating a small opening in the atrial septum, the implant is deployed, forming a passage between the left and right atria that enables the left atrium to decompress, at rest and during physical activity, with the aim of lowering left atrial pressure. By facilitating continuous and dynamic decompression of the left atrium, the Corvia System aims

to improve heart failure symptoms and quality of life, decrease heart failure hospitalization rates, and reduce the overall cost burden of managing heart failure patients.

Yadlapati said doctors have had a hard time finding treatment for this type of heart failure and related issues because medications don’t usually work. Diastolic heart failure means the heart is pumping, but doesn’t relax enough between beats to fill completely, causing blood to backup in the lungs resulting in symptoms of heart failure.

“This device actually takes the burden off the left side of the heart by shifting a small volume of blood to the right,” Yadlapati said. “With obesity and diabetes cases on the rise, we are seeing more patients admitted into the hospital each

year with heart failure. The IASD is the first novel device with promising data in decreasing the mortality rate, and we have seen the hospital re-admittance rate decrease in prior studies.”

The IASD, from Corvia Medical, is still in trial stages, but being able to take part in what could become a groundbreaking treatment option is a great opportunity for the South Denver Heart Center. The next closest heart center participating in the REDUCE LAP-II study is in Utah, making this a huge step forward for patients suffering from heart failure in Colorado.

The technology is still very new. In fact, the first patient in the U.S. to have the IASD implanted was in 2016. Yadlapati said even if the promising results allow the technology to be fast-tracked, it’s still some time before it will receive approval

from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to be used outside of clinical trials on a national scale. That means only designated clinical trial centers such as the South Denver Heart Center can use the technology.

“This treatment option is truly a step forward,” Yadlapati said. “We are seeing a patient’s breathing improve. We are seeing overall health improve. For patients where we’ve had very few treatment options in the past, we are seeing an increase in energy.”

REDUCE LAP-HF II isn’t the only clinical trial the South Denver Heart Center is taking part in. At any given time, Yadlapati said the dedicated heart failure clinic is participating in more than 30 clinical trials.

“We are always trying to take part in treatment options that no one else is doing,” Yadlapati said. “We want to be able to offer our patients the best options that treat the symptoms and bring positive results.”

Democrats take sheriff, clerk and assessor seats

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Colorado’s “blue wave” that saw Democrats elected to a wide range of posts statewide extended to Arapahoe County, with Democrats upsetting incumbent Republicans in the sheriff, county clerk and assessor races in the Nov. 6 election.

New sheriff Democratic challenger Tyler Brown unseated Republican Dave Walcher as sheriff. Brown held 51.2 percent of the vote, compared to Walcher’s 43.5 percent, in ballots counted as of the evening of Nov. 8. Libertarian candidate Eric Mulder received 5.3 percent of the vote.

Brown, a Centennial resident who is currently a police officer in the tiny town of Mountain View near I-70 and Sheridan Boulevard, said he wants sheriff’s deputies to be seen as community partners.

“We’ve gotten away from that,” Brown said by phone on Election Night. “The issue is staffing — deputies are stretched thin, and they spend much of their time simply responding to calls for service. I want to bring Brown up staffing so they can be out there connecting with the community.”

Brown said he also wants to change the way the county deals with the opioid epidemic, and shift priorities toward addiction counseling and mental health care over punishment.

“I want to work with the district attorney’s office, too, so that we don’t end up punishing people repeatedly for one incident,” Brown said. “If you get incarcerated for opioid possession, that’s a felony, and now when you get out, you’re going to have a hard time finding a job or a place to live. That exacerbates the recidivism rate.”

Brown praised Walcher for increasing the number of school resource officers deployed to Arapahoe County schools, and said he’d like to continue that trend.

Walcher declined to comment.

Assessor race The often little-noticed office of county assessor also saw a surprise to many, with incumbent Republican Marc Scott ousted by newcomer Democrat PK

Kaiser.

Kaiser, of Aurora, said his campaign worked to reach out to “diverse communities” who have seen less engagement with county officials.

“We’ve never seen town hall meetings or regular meetings where people can ask questions of their assessor,” Kaiser said by phone. “We want to be more present in the community — to get out of our office where people can interact with us.”

Kaiser also said he’d like to see the office, which Kaiser evaluates real estate values to assign property tax bills, beef up its online presence.

“The Arapahoe County Assessor’s website offers less information than those of surrounding counties, and I want to address that,” said Kaiser, who has worked in the real estate and finance industries.

Kaiser said he’d also like to work with the secretary of state to ensure that his office is keeping close track of newly incorporated home-based businesses, to make sure everyone is in compliance with tax law.

Scott, who held 46.3 percent of the vote to Kaiser’s 53.7 percent as of Nov. 8, wasn’t pleased about the outcome.

“I don’t feel good about losing,” Scott said by phone on Election Night. “My opponent has no assessment experience.

I have decades of experience. The voters didn’t seem to care one way or another.”

Close races Arapahoe County Clerk and Recorder Matt Crane conceded his re-election bid on Nov. 9, as updated vote tallies the evening of Nov. 8 showed Democratic challenger Joan Lopez up by more than 5,000 votes, giving her a nearly 2 percentage point lead in the race.

Crane had held a slight lead up to that point.

Lopez Lopez, reached by email on Nov. 10, said in a statement: “It is such an honor to be elected as your next clerk and recorder. You placed your faith and trust in me and this is a responsibility that I do not take lightly.

I will listen more than I talk and I will change what doesn’t work, but most of

‘Blue wave’ hits Arapahoe County

all I will strive to represent you with the utmost decency and professionalism.”

Serving as Clerk and Recorder was an honor, Crane said.

“I’m disappointed, but I’m so proud of the record of my office and my team over the last five years,” Crane said. “It’s too bad people let partisan politics come into a nonpartisan office.”

Crane cited achievements during his tenure: becoming the first county in the state to complete a risk-limiting audit, overseeing a voter education effort that resulted high numbers of teenagers becoming pre-registered to vote, and being the first office in the state to employ automated kiosks for motor vehicle registration renewals, which he said was part of a dramatic drop in wait times at the DMV. “People marched, fought and died for the right to vote, and helping facilitate that right was a great honor,” Crane said.

Vote tallies were updated on Nov. 8 in three other close races: • In state House District 38, incumbent Republican Susan Beckman held 50.5 percent of the vote against Democratic challenger Chris Kolker’s 49.5 percent, separated by 474 votes.

• In the Arapahoe County Commissioner District 2 race, 1,046 votes separated incumbent Republican Nancy Sharpe, who held 50.9 percent of the vote, from Democratic challenger Don Strickland,

who had 49.1 percent of the vote.

• Cherry Hills Village’s District 2 City Council race — which is nonpartisan — saw only 49 votes separating Afshin Safavi, who had 50.7 percent of the vote, versus Earl Hoellen, with 49.3 percent of the vote.

Finishing the count In addition to the uncounted votes, Crane said 1,700 ballots were sent out to overseas and deployed military voters that have not yet been returned, though he doesn’t anticipate receiving all of them.

Roughly an additional 2,000 votes require additional verification, Crane said, because of a lack of signatures on ballots, or questionable signatures.

Crane said his office reaches out to voters whose ballots have signature discrepancies, and they have until Nov. 14 to respond.

Arapahoe County saw 73 percent of active voters return ballots in 2018, Crane said. Crane said voters are listed as “inactive” if county election mail gets returned as undeliverable.

The turnout was higher than 2014, when 68 percent of voters returned a ballot, Crane said.

Arapahoe County has nearly 370,000 active voters among the roughly 495,000 residents who are eligible to vote, Crane said.

Democrats take state Senate, grow House lead

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The much-mentioned “blue wave” broke on the state Capitol on Nov. 6, sending the Democrats a three-seat advantage in the 35-member state Senate and more power in the state House.

Nineteen Democrats will serve in the Senate when the 2019 legislative session begins in January, including Tammy Story in Jefferson County, current state House Rep. Jessie Danielson in Jefferson County and current Rep. Faith Winter in Adams County, according to a news release from the Senate Democrats. Those seats were previously held

by Republicans or an Independent.

“Every Coloradan, whether you are a Democrat, Independent or Republican, has reason to celebrate,” state Sen. Leroy Garcia said in the release. Voters “have elected leaders who will stand up for our children, for our environment and for the health, safety and prosperity of every Coloradan.”

Current Senate President Kevin Grantham, a Republican from Cañon City, congratulated the new governorelect, Democrat Jared Polis, and other lawmakers who won races in the Nov. 6 election in a statement Nov. 7.

“It’s never fun losing races or being in the political minority,” Grantham

said. “But because Colorado remains at heart a centrist state, where commonsense economic and fiscal values still hold great sway, Republicans still have a critical role to play at the Statehouse, by ensuring that a diversity of views are heard and serving as a check on the excesses we might see if Democrats see their advantage as an opportunity to run wild.”

In the state House, Democrats expanded their majority, declaring victory in three seats previously held by Republicans, according to a Nov. 7 news release by House Democrats. Lisa Cutter in Jefferson County, Kyle Mullica in Adams County and Tom Sullivan in Arapahoe County

took those spots. Sullivan unseated incumbent Republican Rep. Cole Wist in House District 37, a Republican stronghold in Centennial and nearby areas.

“We were successful tonight because we listened to the hopes and concerns of voters (at their) doors, at their kitchen tables and in their communities,” House Majority Leader KC Becker, D-Boulder, said in the release. “Now, it’s time to work together to put the values of hardworking Coloradans into action.”

With results still coming in that morning, the 65-member House looked likely to hold at least 38 Democrats, and with four close races at that time, the number could rise to 42, the release said.

Mothers’ Milk Bank network gains donation center Mountain Midwifery in Englewood will be site for collection STAFF REPORT

Mountain Midwifery Center in Englewood is opening a human milk donation and outreach center, joining the national network of Mothers’ Milk Bank.

Mountain Midwifery will safely collect and transport all milk donations to the Arvada facility, where it will be pasteurized, analyzed and distributed to babies. Most of the milk recipients are born prematurely or are fragile for other reasons and in neonatal intensive care units. At times, mothers cannot supply any or enough milk for their infants and donor human milk is the “magic sauce” to help them survive and thrive.

November is National Prematurity Awareness Month, recognizing the serious and costly concerns surrounding the one in 10 babies who are born too early in the United States every year.

“Mountain Midwifery Center is nationally recognized for superior newborn outcomes, especially in the area of breastfeeding support,” Joel Ryan, chief executive officer at Mountain Midwifery Center, said in a news release. “To make our support more complete, MMC’s team is now proud to be a donation and outreach center, the first in Englewood, to support the enrollment of new milk donors. Our team of midwives and lactation consultants truly enjoys working with Mothers’ Milk Bank and Colorado’s breastfeeding families.”

Mountain Midwifery Center is at 3535 S. Lafayette St., Suite 100, Englewood. Donation screening forms and other information can be found at www.milkbankcolorado.org or call 303-869-1888.

Snowflakes swirling about the epaulets of his dress blues, retired Marine Col. Richard Swedberg called upon the almighty to bless the men and women who answered their country’s call.

“We thank you so much for each one of these men and women who served our country in time of peace and time of war,” Swedberg said. “We thank you for those serving today, and for the honor, glory and loyalty of those who serve in uniform.”

Appreciating the freedom secured through sacrifice must extend beyond Veterans Day, said Littleton Mayor Debbie Brinkman in prepared remarks.

“Heroes pass, time pushes new headlines, and we move through our days, months and years,” Brinkman said. “Ceremonies are important, but our gratitude has to be more than once a year. We honor these men and women mostly by living well.”

Perhaps the morning’s most stirring remarks came from a man now long gone: Pat Hannon, a young Marine from Littleton who was killed in Vietnam in 1966.

Swedberg read a brief poem Hannon wrote just months before he was killed by small arms fire in Quang Nam Province at age 20. The final lines read: “If my time is here to be, I ask a favor from you to me.

Answer my one and only plea: Keep America free.”

VOICES Holiday bludgeon can lead to high dudgeon

t is the first of November. I am braced for what is about to happen, against my wishes and against my will.

My belief is that it comes earlier every year as an antidote to reality, as a form of comfort food in the face of the news that, day after day, is harsh and abrasive on our delicate systems, especially mine.

This will be Harry’s first true Christmas. I’ve warned him.

To give you an example: the Hallmark Channel began its uninterrupted Christmas movie marathon last month.

Home shopping channels have had holiday-themed must-haves since September.

Now that Halloween is behind

us, and with only Thanksgiving on the horizon, which involves no history of gift exchanges or baleful music, the coast is clear for merchants. mostly, to take over where exasperating political campaigns left off, and inundate every corner with solicitations.

And holiday music. Some of it conducted by chipmunks.

What was once a week, two at the most, of observation and anticipation, has become a quarter of the annum, and God forbid (he said) that you are an atheist, or someone who simply prefers to contemplate certain things very privately.

No. My grocery emporium is loading up with absolutely appalling décor, and I am counting the days until the already awful music is replaced by seasonal music, most of it sounding like an anesthetic.

Some people like it. The thought that some might not is not a participant.

The majority gets its wish. But there is one (at least) in every crowd, and I am that one. There is no subtlety left anywhere. This is not the United Zen of America.

If you want to hear Andy Williams around every corner, so be it. Even my beloved classical music station will turn on me soon.

If this sounds like Scrooge is afoot, he’s not. Am I a curmudgeon? Yes. Am I a wet blanket? Possibly.

My adage is this, tried and true: “There’s a time and place for everything.”

Understandably, when it comes to money, the lines of distinction are blurred, and what started as a religious holiday has turned into a greedy realm of merchandising, with a playlist that includes Gene Autry and Jimmy Boyd.

Boyd’s recording of “I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus” was recorded in 1952 when he was only 13.

This will prove to be a good exercise for you to understand what you have and where everything is, and to keep the vital information organized.

I recommend starting with medical because often it is a health issue that causes a family member to go in search of the Book of Important Stuff (BIS).

List doctors, health insurance, and medical history. Include any recent diagnoses, life-threatening allergies or illnesses and a list of medications you take. This is a good place to keep your Advanced Medical Directive, name your health care agent and provide a copy of your living will.

Next, include the following items from your financial plan: • Your financial planner’s name, phone number and email address.

• Your monthly expenses and net worth statement listing assets and liabilities. Include loan and credit card information and online bill pay.

• Titles to the house, cars and other property; bank accounts, CDs and savings bonds.

• List your investment accounts.

Include your brokerage accounts, retirement assets, any annuities or pensions and 529 plans.

• Last year’s tax return along with your accountant’s contact information and any estimated taxes you may owe.

• Insurance policies such as life, disability and long-term care. Provide any agent information.

Make sure you include password information and digital access to any social media or online access to accounts.

Include a section of important documents such as passports, a copy of your driver’s license, birth and marriage certificates.

The record was condemned by the Roman Catholic Church in Boston.

Because it combined kissing with Christmas. Oh, brother. Boyd traveled to Boston, met with the Archdiocese, and the ban was lifted.

Whatever subtlety there was in any design, in any event, in any production, is gone.

There is hoopla instead. A football team might enter the field through manufactured fog and fireworks.

There is even a Red Carpet in front of an award for Best Supporting Actor Supporting a Supporting Actor.

There is so much rancor in America right now, and daily events that depress the heart and soul, that relief of any kind is understandable.

However, the bombardment, attending to a majority perception, only adds to the dismay.

Once upon a time, I drank my way through this time of year, and came out of it on the other side. Others do the same. Rehab enrollment spikes in January.

There is a great consolation prize: My favorite author wrote something I read every late December, with unsurpassed character and setting depictions.

Dickens.

Make note of any memberships, season tickets, or ongoing expenses that should be canceled, such as AAA, EZ Pass or automatic investments or distributions.Next, provide your complete estate plan including your will, trust, powers of attorney, health care agents (primary and contingent) living will, beneficiaries, guardians, trustees, favorite charities, funeral arrangements and final wishes.

Last, but not least, list your wishes for all of your stuff. Others may not know about certain jewelry, furniture or dishes that have been in the family for five generations. List the people you think will enjoy having these items, so they don’t accidentally end up in the trash. This is also a good place to give permission to get rid of some items, so others don’t feel guilty about disposing of certain things.Make certain all the documents you are using to create your Book of Important Stuff are current.

This can be a good reminder to get some things updated.

Now you are ready for the cloud. A binder is great, but can burn down with the house or get lost or misplaced. It will be easier to create a secure vault and upload all the information and replace it with current electronic statements as needed. Make sure someone knows how to access this and other important digital files.

Now after all of that good work, you deserve an extra piece of pumpkin pie.

Last year, one of our readers had initially taken a little exception with a column I had written about gratitude.

He had recently lost his spouse, and he was also diagnosed with an illness.

He shared with me that he chose not to send me the email he had written, but he kept it in his draft messages.

After he read it a few times and made some edits and changes, he found himself changing the tone and meaning of his message completely. You see, he initially was angry and upset and was going to send me a message that was not very nice. But as he read his own words, and thought about it more and more, he started thinking about all of the people who stood by him during his wife’s illness. He thought about his family and friends that were taking care of him now, and he thought about the incredible job he held for more than 30 years and how proud he was of his accomplishments

and all the people that contributed to his success. His gratitude bucket was filling up.

The title of this column comes from his words in the email he sent to me. In the subject line were these words, “The Spirit of Thanksgiving.” He encouraged me to never stop beating the drum of gratitude and appreciation, because, “Some of us get so focused on ourselves and our own problems, that we have forgotten all of the things we have been blessed with throughout our lives.”

So how about you? Are you someone who lives all year round with an attitude of gratitude, or could you use a little earlier reminder about what you are truly thankful for? Either way I really would love to hear your gratitude story at gotonorton@gmail.com and when we can live with a “Spirit of Thanksgiving” it really will be a better than good life.

in knots Therapists offer tips for dealing with holiday-season stress

BY JOSEPH RIOS JRIOS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

T

hanksgiving, Christmas, Hanukkah, or whatever you and your family celebrate is right around the corner. The holidays are supposed to bring a light of happiness to life with traditions, food, gifts, relaxation and — whether you like it or not — family.

Maybe seeing your family isn’t a problem, and family holiday gatherings are something that you look forward to each year. It’s not like that for everyone, though, and seeing the family during the holidays can be a stressful time for plenty of Americans.

We talked to three licensed family therapists about how to deal with stress that family can bring during the holidays. Whether you’re preparing to deal with family members whom you don’t see often, or to deal with family members who may have strong opinions that differ from yours, these therapists have pointers to make things easier as the holidays approach.

Dr. Reo Leslie “You must’ve been watching some movies,” said Leslie as he chuckles over the phone when asked about his tips for dealing with family holiday gatherings. Leslie is full of knowledge about the subject, and he has the credentials to show it. The licensed marriage and family therapist founded the Colorado School for Family Therapy, a nonprofit organization and school that educates counselors, clinical supervisors, licensure candidates, psychotherapists and ministers.

Therapist Cory Reid-Vanas suggests treating difficult family as an opportunity.

JOSEPH RIOS

Leslie’s first message to those who are dreading spending time with their family is to determine how long the interaction is going to be in order to better prepare yourself for what you’re getting into.

His second message to those who are stressed about family gatherings? You’re not obligated to participate in family functions.

“Family systems are really good at initiating emotions like shame and guilt, but you don’t have to buy into that. You don’t want to harm your stress and mental health,” Leslie said. “A lot of my clients choose not to participate in the holiday family situations. It’s harmful emotionally to go into bad family situations.”

For those who are worried about political discussions at the holiday dinner table, Leslie has a simple suggestion — don’t participate in it.

“If uncle Joe is a Democrat and aunt Sally is a Republican, you don’t want to discuss politics close to the turkey knives. Suspend that around the holiday time. There is no need to argue your opinion,” said Leslie.

“Normally, expressing your opinion is important, but none of that needs to happen over the holiday dinner.

Being with the family around the holidays is like moving into an alternative universe. You have to suspend reality for the time of the activity.”

Letha Atwater Letha Atwater is soft-spoken and well-educated about coping with family holiday gatherings. She starts off a conversation about the subject with a similar suggestion that Leslie made — be prepared.

“One of the biggest things is being able to plan ahead for knowing that person (whom you don’t want to see) is going to be there,” said Atwater, direcAtwater tor of clinical family therapy for Counseling Center of Colorado LLC. Atwater’s suggestion for planning ahead involves having an escape plan. She said that having an escape plan can come in handy if nothing is going the way you want at a family holiday gathering. That escape plan can even be just going outside and taking a walk to separate yourself from a family member who is giving you issues.

Atwater emphasized how impactful relaxation techniques like taking deep breaths can be if someone is giving you anxiety. She also suggested using positive imagery as a coping mechanism, like imagining that you’re on a beach in Hawaii.

hen most people see red carpets, they’re on television and full of recognizable faces from the worlds of entertainment or sports. Most of us will never get to walk one, have our photos taken and answer questions from the press.

But thanks to the Denver Film Festival, which hosted its 41st iteration Oct. 31 through Nov. 11, local actors, directors, writers, producers and others in the industry based in the metro area had the chance to do just that outside of the Ellie Caulkins Opera House.

Most, like producer Anthony Cross, used the opportunity to not only speak about their work, but champion the city and state’s film scene — a scene that has been growing in recent COMING years.

ATTRACTIONS “Film here in not just a stagnant art form.

It is a living, breathing thing,” Cross explained.

“It is important we make it something that is worthwhile and accessible to Clarke Reader everybody.”

This year’s festival included more than 200 screenings, from three-to-five-minute short films to feature-length titles that will soon be mainstays during awards season in just a few months. There were documentaries, spotlights on the films of Hungary and the United Kingdom and even music videos.

“Our audiences have become really good at trying new things as part of the festival, which is pretty unique,” said Andrew Rodgers, Denver Film Society executive director.

The aim of such a wide variety of offerings is not only to entertain and enlighten, but to inspire filmmakers of all ages to tell their stories.

“It’s unbelievable to see how much the festival has grown over the past 41 years, and now we’re working on building up a younger audience,” said Ron Henderson, Denver Film Society and Festival founder.

I picked three movies from the eclectic lineup that I think you should make a point to spend time with when they come to a screen, large or small, near you.

Art show isn’t just meant to be seen ‘Shared Visions’ exhibit features works that visitors are welcome to touch

BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Look left as you enter the “Shared Visions” exhibit at Colorado Gallery of the Arts, in the Annex at the east end of Arapahoe Community College in Littleton — and you’ll see a sign inviting you to “touch” and a giant yellow replica of a common 2HB pencil hung at an angle on the wall. A line flows from its lead tip to the corner …

Artist Isabelle Beauprez has written: “I enjoy blowing things out of proportion — that includes art projects. I choose a pencil as it’s often the artist’s first tool. Prior to moving on to another medium.” Might she be headed to a furniture design career?

Note that all labels are both in Braille and in text, so a sighted visitor can try to imagine how it might be to gain information through the fingertips …

Turn left past the pencil, open a worn wooden door and enter “Escape,” in the gallery’s new Installation Room. Artist Marci Corbitt has created her image of a hike in the mountains, with a leaf-strewn path, plant material surrounding it, and a fan making a cool breeze. It even smells

IF YOU GO “Shared Visions” is in Colorado Gallery of the Arts, located at the east side of the Littleton Arapahoe Community College Campus, 5900 S. Santa Fe Drive, Littleton. Hours: 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Mondays to Fridays, until 7 p.m. Tuesdays. Admission is free. “woodsy” like it should — moist and inviting. At the rear is a painting, framed by dried branches, leading the eyes into the distance.

Gallery director Trish Sangelo is happy to offer the new space as a different challenge to artists.

Perhaps in its former life, it was a storage closet for cleaning supplies, but it will be fun to see what artists create here.

The “Shared Visions” tactile art exhibit runs through Dec. 3 and is a repeat of a successful collaboration between ceramics, painting and 3D design students from Arapahoe Community College and the Colorado Center for the Blind, which opened with a reception on Nov. 1.

If one enters and looks straight across the gallery, there is an entertaining installation by Jenny Callahan that invites one to invent a story about it. At the left, a bird-like creature with a long blue beak and beady eye is tangled in some rope netting — i.e., a giant yellow spider web.

‘The Humans’ mines rich ore of family life Regional premiere of solid new play is on stage at Curious Theatre

BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

“This is the second holiday show in 21 years,” said Chip Walton, Curious Theatre’s artistic director, as he welcomed the Nov. 3 opening-night audience to a performance of “The Humans” by Stephen Karam — a regional premiere. While the scene is a family Thanksgiving dinner, “The Humans” stays on the path of openness to different ways of thinking/ living/working — Curious Theatre’s trademark theme.

“The Humans,” a strong new play, the type which Curious consistently chooses to deliver, won the 2016 Tony Award for Best New Play and was a finalist for the 2016 Pulitzer drama award, setting audience expectations high. With a fine cast and direction

by Dee Covington, it is a pleasure to watch.

The spare set, designed by Markas Henry, shows the small, sparsely furnished two-story apartment in Chinatown, New York City, where young musician Brigid Blake (Anastasia Davidson) and her fiancé,

IF YOU GO “The Humans” runs through Dec. 22 at Curious Theatre, 1080 Acoma St., in Denver’s Golden Triangle. Performances: 7:30 p.m.

Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays (Thanksgiving excepted); 2 p.m. Sundays. Adequate free parking. Tickets: curioustheatre.org, 303-623-0524.

Richard Saad (Antonio Amadeo) have recently moved. Furniture is yet to arrive in general … and strange, loud bumps persist from the apartment upstairs, where an older Chinese woman lives.

Readers may be reminded of a first visit to a beloved offspring’s new home and trying so very hard to feel “at home.”

Brigid’s attorney/sister Aimee (Susan McLeod) has arrived and soon, their parents: Dierdre (Anne F. Butler) and Erik (Kevin Hart) appear — a bit frazzled after a trip from their home in Scranton, Pennsylvania. (The playwright grew up there.)

With the parents is the grandmother Fiona, “Momo,” who has dementia (Kathryn Gray).

The concept of the conflicted dinner party, where strong opinions clash, is certainly there, with underlying stories about each character woven together and assorted problems pretty much unresolved.

No question, however, about how

strongly this family loves one another.

Karam’s script is beautifully written and carries the story along through dialogue. The cast is skilled and all the characters carefully crafted.

Brigid, a composer in the making, is working two jobs as a bartender while she seeks a professional path as composer and Richard works at a job, wanting to return to school, while looking forward to a family inheritance sometime soon. Tense Aimee has recently lost her girlfriend/ partner and is in pain with ulcerative colitis, but unable to afford needed medical care, unwilling to undergo surgery …

The Irish Catholic parents, of course don’t approve of her lifestyle, nor of Brigid’s. “When are you getting married?” the mom asks Brigid, more than once …

Money for Momo to move into assisted living isn’t available either — Erik has worked in maintenance at St. Paul’s school for years and doesn’t have savings, nor does Dierdre, who has an office job. During the play, Gray’s Momo sleeps a lot, babbles some and perks up to participate in a family prayer — until near the end …

Nicely portrayed by Gray, a veteran local actor, educator and frequent dialogue coach, who keeps a lid on it.

“People don’t know what is going on in your mind. Sometimes you really have to take yourself out of a situation if it is going to cause a lot of anxiety for you,” Atwater said. “I can’t stress enough that we control how we feel and think. If we look at it in that way, it really takes a lot of other people’s stuff off of our plate.”

Cory Reid-Vanas Cory Reid-Vanas is a friendly, welcoming licensed marriage and family therapist who is the founder of Rocky Mountain Counseling Coaching Consulting, a counseling service for individuals, families and couples.

“This is a really important time of year to practice taking good care of ourselves. Obviously, it is important to attend and spend time with family, but it’s also important to practice that sentiment that our responsibility is to take good care of ourselves,” ReidVanas said.

Reid-Vanas said that having a family member who is challenging for you,

‘The Front Runner’ For Coloradans and political junkies alike, director Jason Reitman’s latest film, “The Front Runner,” tackles a story many of us might think we know — the failed presidential bid of Colorado Sen. Gary Hart in 1988.

The film centers on Hart (a restrained, torn Hugh Jackman) as he navigates the pressures, lies and half-truths that come with running for the highest office in the land. The film brims over with fantastic performances from Vera Farmiga, J.K. Simmons, Molly Ephraim and many, many others.

Written by Reitman, Jay Carson and Matt Bai (based on his book, “All the Truth Is Out”) the film explores questions of what is interesting vs. important, the culpability of politicians and the media alike in turning politicians into celebrities and the standards to which we hold ourselves and our lead-

November 15, 2018N or who increases your stress level, can be an opportunity to practice self-care.

Part of practicing self-care includes getting rest through doing things you enjoy, practicing better nutrition and getting exercise. All of those things are great methods for dealing with stress that the holidays and family can bring on, according to Reid-Vanas.

“You are going to experience stress.

The goal isn’t to control stress. The goal is to manage stress to minimize it so that you can enjoy your holiday,” Reid-Vanas said.

Reid-Vanas has other methods for dealing with stress that family can create during the holidays. He calls them “plug ins” and “plug outs.” Plugging in is about connecting with yourself and focusing on your values and priorities. Plugging out is about connecting with “the external,” and that involves everything from people and the natural world.

“I think that with how our world is set up, holidays can be stressful around expectations of spending time with family, preparing meals, or purchasing gifts. Stress levels can easily go up,” said Reid-Vanas. “We all have family members. Families are complex.

They’re both difficult and beautiful all in the same sentence.”

ers. In other words, a film made for these fraught political times.

“When we’ve created a process where we make politicians into celebrities, eventually we were going to have celebrity candidates,” Bai said during a post-screening discussion that included Carson, Reitman and producer Helen Estabrook on Nov. 8 at Ellie Caulkins.

“This campaign was really the moment when the world of politics and entertainment collided.”

With instantly quotable lines like “The world changes when young people give a damn,” and an exploration of what the American public will and won’t stand for when it comes to their leaders and the fourth estate, “The Front Runner” should not be missed.

‘The Invisibles’ In February 1943, the Nazi regime declared Berlin “free of Jews.” But that count was off by about 1,700 people.

People who did everything they could to remain hidden and blend in. To become invisible.

Claus Räfle’s film, “The Invisibles,” is a fascinating and unique blending

of documentary and historical drama, which tells the true story of four Jewish Berliners and the lengths they went through to avoid being deported into the Third Reich’s concentration camps. Some of the survivors actually worked in the underground resistance, undermining the Germans wherever they could, while others’ sole focus was staying a step ahead of the Gestapo.

The movie uses actual interviews from the four survivors as they remember traumatic events like, as one put it, “the day I became illegal.” That the film manages to be as uplifting and even funny as it is stands as a testament to Räfle’s craft and the ordinary heroes he celebrates.

Unsurprisingly, it’s the survivors who make the biggest impression — testaments to the power of the will to live and the regenerative grace of humanity.

‘Roma’ To me, there is a kind of otherworldly beauty that comes with a movie shot in black and white. The contrasts are deeper and the shadows and light

become a more visceral part of the storytelling. All of which is to say, Oscarwinner Alfonso Cuarón’s latest film, “Roma,” takes Mexico City of the early 1970s and turns it into a world of everyday enchantment and poetry through black-and-white cinematography and personal storytelling.

Based on his own experiences growing up in the city, Cuarón (“Children of Men,” “Gravity” and “Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban”) cast firsttime and unknown actors in the role of a middle-class family at a time of personal and political change. The movie feels more like a documentary than a scripted drama, and Cuarón (who also wrote and shot it) uses a poet’s eye to tell extraordinarily moving stories to which everyone can relate.

The film is coming straight to Netflix, so you have no excuse to miss what is undoubtedly one of the year’s best films.

ART SHOW FROM PAGE 15

To the right sits a rotund, genial-looking, multi-colored spider, created from bits of pink, purple, orange, red and other bits of tissue, tucked into wire netting. Again, near it it the invitation to “touch.”

On the end wall and around the corner between the pencil and the spider are some paintings, ceramic works on pedestals and a series of individual pieces — many in assemblage form, with various objects composed into an image, framed in wooden boxes.

Found objects, driftwood, metal objects and more, some clearly inspired from nature and “what in the world is this” items have found their way into an art show with imaginative manipulation. A dinner plate-sized bristly dried flowerish image suggests a dried sunflower — but not quite. It is almost a bit menacing as it droops/climbs out of its box. Does it bite? Here too, one is invited to touch

the images.

In contrast, farther along is a bright yellow 3D sunflower, attached to an electric cord and plug at the end of its stem, where it plunges into a large flowerpot.

These continue past the spider and around the remainder of the gallery: more paintings and assembled images, some highly textured. Colors are bright in general. Ceramics vary between functional pottery and sculptural works.

Interior Design student Corella Tejussa exhibits a design board for “a beach house in Panama, where I come from.” It uses subtle colors with carpet, fabric and paint samples, enclosed in a house-shaped wood box frame. At the bottom of the frame is a slim green box, holding sand and a few shells — just a suggestion of the real thing — and very touchable.

Some framed works have raised images — a pair of pink aquatic salamanders, called “Olms” by artist Arlana Rathbun, circle around a baby protectively, mounted on a deep blue background and framed like a proper family portrait. Readers are invited to visit this exhibit, and please do touch the art!

A family toast at Thanksgiving unites the Blake family who gather together in “The Humans” at Curious Theatre.

You’re local. We’re local. We proudly publish 20 local newspapers & websites across the front range including:

Hart, as father Erik, often dominates a scene. On edge, in his first visit to New York City since 9/11, he tends to discount his daughters’ opinions — and/or fails to understand them. I found myself getting angry with him — which is exactly the desired response.

And the widely experienced Butler, as Dierdre, tries to hold things together, relying on her faith to make things right. She’s the familial

glue … The legendary mother figure — sure she’s right, not willing to accept her daughters’ choices, but loving them. Strong delivery here.

I felt that later in the 90-minute play, actors were shouting at each other fairly consistently, which diluted the effectiveness of the wellcrafted dialogue — we wondered about director Dee Covington’s reasoning for that increased noise level, especially when each cast member was so skilled at expressing Karam’s words and feelings.

The ending, by contrast, is quiet and spooky! The air leaves the room …

MANAGER FROM PAGE 1

As interim city manager, Hargrove will take the reins during a time at a time when city staff members and city residents perceive division on the council, and as the city faces repeated allegations of wrongdoing related to two nonprofit, private bodies that oversee property that the city has varying degrees of control over.

The council announced at a special meeting Oct. 22 that talks to hire Virginia Egger, former manager of the Town of Avon in western Colorado, fell through, without shedding light on why at the time. The council had unanimously voted to select her for the position at the Oct. 15 council meeting.

Information included in the city’s background materials for the Nov. 5 meeting — available on the council’s online agenda — included an email from Human Resources Director Maria Gonzalez to Egger explaining the council did not agree with her request to work a maximum of 40 hours per week or to work from home at times.

The council now looks to the long road of hiring a permanent

city manager, a process expected to take about six months. The council voted at the meeting to use a search firm to find candidates. The city also is functioning with no permanent assistant city manager, after Mark Woulf left at the end of June. Former city manager Keck had appointed Hargrove as interim assistant city manager.

Keck announced his exit at the Sept. 4 council meeting amid what he called a divisive few months for Englewood. He stepped down Oct. 5.

After serving as manager for four years, Keck decided to leave to take a private-sector job in another state. “Council dysfunction” was a small part of his decision, but his resignation was influenced by his family and the opportunity to make an impact on many people in the new position, he said.

Councilmembers noted the perception of division on the council at the Oct. 9 meeting to interview interim manager candidates.

Political division in the city as a whole displayed itself during the months leading up to the Sept. 18 election that attempted to recall Councilmember Laurett Barrentine from office. The contest narrowly decided she would keep her seat — by 48 votes, or 3 percent-

age points, according to official results Sept. 27.

Barrentine has claimed that a main reason for the recall was her desire for information on two private bodies. The council has seen repeated citizen accusations of corruption surrounding the Englewood Environmental Foundation and Englewood McLellan Reservoir Foundation — commonly known as “EEF” and “EMRF.” JJ Margiotta, owner of a business in Englewood and one of the most vocal critics of city officials, has claimed “past administrations” improperly managed EEF’s funds.

Both entities are overseen by a board of directors made up of city administrative officials.

Barrentine said she’s advocated for a forensic audit, which can seek wrongdoing. A flier in support of Barrentine during the recall claimed a report references problems — like improper payments and giving work to friends — with how EEF and EMRF were run.

A report by the 18th Judicial District Attorney’s Office in April 2017 looked into the allegations to determine if a criminal investigation would be warranted. Based on interviews with several city employees and administration, the DA’s investigator wrote that

the city should have discovered the possibility for misconduct related to the allegations “as early as 2012” and that the statute of limitations — the period when legal action could be taken — had run out for any alleged crimes.

“I had no evidence to support any wrongdoing or criminal activity,” the investigator, Brian Ahlberg, wrote.

The city is considering a process by which the city council would become the board members for EEF, according to the Nov. 5 study-session meeting information. Previously, Mayor Linda Olson expressed desire to look at restructuring EEF and EMRF. “I do not believe it’s wise to have our staff in a position where they’re scrutinized or attacked or feel their professional positions are on the line over this,” Olson said at the Oct. 1 council meeting.

City staff also recommended a forensic audit of EEF’s finances “from inception to current date,” according to the Nov. 5 meeting information.

Staff estimated the cost for this type of audit to be roughly $55,000 and an estimate that it would take between three and six months to complete, and funds from EEF’s fund balance would be used to pay for the audit, according to the information.

LEAP launches online application for assistance program Staff report

Colorado’s Low-Income Energy Assistance Program will kick off the 2018-19 season with a new online application process for individuals and families needing heating assistance. Enrollment for the 201819 program started Nov. 1 and continues through April 30.

“With the new online application process, individuals can apply from any device, or they can still visit one of our county locations,” Theresa Kullen, LEAP manager, said in a news release. “We believe everyone who needs assistance is going to find this is easier, takes less time and overall the whole process is more efficient.”

Applications can be accessed through LEAP’s website at www.colorado.gov/cdhs/LEAP, which links to the state’s CO PEAK system for online application, which consolidates resources in one easy-to-use location.

For program eligibility, candidates must pay home heating costs directly to a utility company or landlord as part of their rent, be a permanent legal resident of the United States

and Colorado or have a legal U.S. citizen in the household. A family household income cannot surpass 165 percent of the federal poverty index.

If approved, LEAP payments are usually made directly to the primary heating vendor and a notice is sent to individuals regarding the benefit amount. Last year, approximately 65,000 applications were approved with assistance averaging $337 to $674 across the state.

Other benefits provided by the program include repair or replacement of a home’s primary heating system. To determine the monthly income eligibility according to the household size, visit www. colorado.gov/pacific/cdhs/ program-eligibility.

LEAP is a federally-funded program that helps Coloradans pay a portion of home heating costs during the winter.

“For those not comfortable with online processes, applications can still be faxed, mailed or delivered to the appropriate county/contractor LEAP office,” Kullen said.

Time to kick soccer shootouts to the curb

A ‘surreal’ celebration for Warriors Arapahoe wins 5A boys state soccer championship

BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA

A large group of Arapahoe High School students and supporters gathered at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park on Nov. 9 with hopes that the boys soccer team could provide some encouragement to the school that has been rocked by tragic events.

The soccer team, seeded eighth in the Class 5A state soccer playoffs, provided the Arapahoe faithful with a chance to celebrate after winning the state championship with a 2-1 victory over Centennial League rival Grandview.

Arapahoe’s title comes after two students died by suicide Arapahoe’s Cameron Gail (7) and Jose Raya (7) of Grandview track down a loose ball during the 5A state championship game Nov. 9 at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park. Gail assisted on the winning goal as the Warriors downed the Wolves, 2-1.

early this fall and the 2013 shooting at the school that left two students dead.

There were 13 seniors on the Warriors team that finished the season with a 17-1-2 record.

“It feels numbing, surreal,” said Arapahoe coach Mark Hampshire. “I’m thrilled for the boys. They’ve been through so much. The resiliency is incredible. Our senior boys, all 13 of them, showed great, great leadership regardless of how much time they had on the field.

“This was a special group.

Emotionally, this group of seniors had been through a lot, they’ve lost classmates and close friends. For them to be able to battle through all that, and I’m not just talking about this year. This senior class has dealt with this since the time they were freshmen.”

t m c w i m

riving to EchoPark Automotive Stadium for the Class 5A soccer semifinals on Nov. 7, I had visions of ( t seeing well-played, competitive i matches with no shootouts. t But what did I see? A shootout.

Arapahoe eliminated defending d champion Broomfield with a 4-3 wino after six shootout a rounds. Neither y OVERTIME team scored in regulation time or o the two 15-minute c overtime sessions g which got me g to climb on the G soapbox.

1 I’ve always P felt that soccer j shootouts are fun, Jim Benton exciting and nerve f wracking for regular-season games b but they don’t belong in the playoffs l when teams are putting all their hard work on the line with a chance w t to win the state championship. g Yes, both teams have an equal chance of winning a shootout to de- w cide a playoff winner. But shootoutsc t eliminate the passing, dribbling, marking, teamwork and physical t c play that are part of successful teams. Shootouts resort to an individual game of shooting prowess. p a The goalkeeper’s skill and quite frankly good intuition and luck are s also involved. s This season in just the 5A division there have been three teams g ousted from the 5A playoffs because of shootout losses after the w two overtime sessions that have t been increased to 15 minutes each for the playoffs. There was one shootout in 2017 and four in 2016 including Broomfield, which lost the 2016 state title match after being outscored in a prolonged shootout against Boulder, 13-12. Broomfield won a second-round shootout this season over Denver East.

“I’ve never been a big fan of penalty kicks to end a soccer match,” said Arapahoe coach Mark Hampshire.

“It really takes away the integrity of what the sport is, a team sport, and it puts it on the shoulders of an individual or two but it does test the mental resiliency and focus.”

Rock Canyon won a first-round shootout this season but coach Aaron Carpenter has an idea to avoid shootouts.

“I’m not a fan of shootouts,” he said. `This is a bit unorthodox, but I would have the matches go two 10-minute halves of golden goal. At that time, if it remained the same, I would play 8-v-8 with two more 10-minute halves of golden goal.”

Arapahoe made its ninth appearance in a state championship game for the boys program and captured the school’s sixth title but the first one since 1997.

“It’s been so long and everything that has happened at our school, it means a lot to us and all the fans that came out with the huge following that we had,” said senior and team scoring leader Cameron Gail. “We had so many people backing us.

“Once we took down the No. 1 seed (previously unbeaten Fairview) and then beat Broomfield, we knew we had it. We just played our game. It was just the all-around pride. Everyone was so determined to win the state championship. We were looking one game at a time, but we all knew this was the year, and it was.”

Arapahoe used a familiar formula of opportunistic offense and a tenacious defense in front of standout goalkeeper Spencer Cobb.

The Warriors allowed only one goal in the playoffs. That came when Grandview tied the title match in the 10th minute on a goal by Noe Ortiz Pena, which came six minutes after junior defender Garret Lyles scored for Arapahoe following a corner kick

by Zander Hahn.

“It was a corner and I just stuck my leg up to hopefully get a foot on it and went in top right,” said Lyles about the opening goal. “Getting the early goal helps. We were underdogs the whole way... It feels amazing to win the championship. We had 13 seniors and they had been waiting for this since their freshman season. We knew we could do it.”

Grandview, however, continued to put pressure on the Warriors’ defense and Cobb.

“Grandview took it to us, they are such a talented team,” said Hampshire. “We just weathered the storm.”

Senior midfielder Noah Carl got the game-winning goal in the 68th minute, when he buried a shot after Gail’s attempt deflected off a Grandview player.

“I just saw the open net and then finished it,” said Carl. “It was my second goal of the season. It’s the most amazing feeling I’ve ever had.”

The Arapahoe back line of Lyles, Hahn, Travis Sawyer, Zach Miller and others played well and Cobb once again was reliable.

However, after Carl’s goal, Grandview never got a shot on goal despite controlling the possession as the Warriors were content to stay back and play defense.

“Spencer Cobb, in my humble opinion, is the best goalkeeper in the state,” said Hampshire. “He’s only given up a total of six goals all season.

He was fantastic.”

Cobb made eight saves against Grandview and he was also the key player in a shootout semifinal win over defending state champion Broomfield on Nov. 7. He stopped 10 shots against the Eagles.

Both teams had chances to score in regulation time, which ended in a scoreless deadlock. Each team had chances in the two 15-minute overtimes and Arapahoe’s Hahn twice kicked out possible Eagles’ goals as the outcome came down to a shootout, where five shooters alternate penalty shots and the shootout continues if neither team has won after the first five rounds.

The first three shooters of each team scored but it came down to Broomfield having a chance to win on their fifth shooter, but Cobb made a save to prolong the shootout.

Arapahoe’s Liam Anderson scored to give the Warriors a 4-3 advantage and then Cobb stopped a shot by Cade Austin to set off a victory celebration.

“It was all about doing whatever you can do to play with these seniors one more time,” said Cobb. “My center back (Hahn) saved me two times and I owed it to him and to the team to make two big saves. The first three or four shots in the shootout were well taken.

It’s hard to tell sometimes. I just try to look at hips and where they line up.

Cobb’s effort in the shootout went beyond expectations.

“We usually ask him to save one but to come out and do what he did is amazing,” Hampshire said.

King Features Weekly Service

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Try to avoid signing on the dotted line in the early part of the week. You need time to study issues that weren’t fully explored. Later in the week might be more favorable for decision-making.

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) A new development could snarl travel schedules or other holiday-linked projects. Some flexibility might be called for to deal with the problems before they get too far out of hand.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Relatives seek your advice on a matter you’d rather not be involved in. If so, use that sage Sagittarian tact to decline the “offer,” so that no one’s feelings are needlessly hurt.

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) A shift in planning direction might help you speed up your progress toward achieving that longplanned goal. Trusted colleagues are ready to offer some valuable support.

AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) An unexpected demand for settlement of an old loan could create some pre-holiday anxiety. But you might not really owe it. Check your records thoroughly before remitting payment.

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) It’s a good time to get into the social swim and enjoy some well-earned fun and games with those closest to you before you have to resume more serious activities next week.

BORN THIS WEEK: Your ability to sense the needs of others makes you a wise counselor for those seeking help with their problems.

November 12, 2018

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) A project benefits from your organizational skills that get it up and running.

Your success leaves a highly favorable impression. Don’t be surprised if you get some positive feedback soon.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Spend time on practical matters through the end of the week. Then begin shifting your focus to more-artistic pursuits. Resist being overly self-critical. Just allow yourself to feel free to create.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Restarting those creative projects you had set aside for a while will help provide a much-needed soothing balance to your hectic life. Besides, it will be like meeting old friends again.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) A change in plans could make it tough to keep a commitment. But stay with it. You’ll get an A-plus for making the effort to do what’s right and not taking the easy way out by running off.

LEO (July 23 to August 22) The Lion’s enthusiasm for a workplace policy review is admirable. But be sure you know who is really behind the resistance to change before pointing your finger at the wrong person.

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) You can expect to have to do a lot of work through midweek. Devote the rest of the week to checking your holiday plans in case some need to be

Fritz Holleman, Buchanan, Sperling & Holleman, P.C., 1525 Spruce St., Ste. 200, Boulder, CO 80302), APPLICATION FOR CHANGE OF WATER RIGHT, PARK, DOUGLAS, ARAPAHOE and JEFFERSON Counties. 2. Summary. United Development has an agreement with NFA to purchase up to 765.9 Class A shares of MMRC, which is equivalent to 24.05 consumptive use acre-feet of Slaght Ditch water rights (“Water Rights”). The Water Rights are described in paragraph 4 below. In Case No. 2016CW3197, NFA and MMRC changed the use of the Water Rights from irrigation to augmentation, replacement, exchange and substitution. Upon completion of this adjudication, United Development will convey the Water Rights to Centennial. In consideration of conveyance of the Water Rights to Centennial and other required actions, Centennial will provide water and wastewater service to United Development’s planned residential development. Applicants seek a decree changing the Water Rights to add additional uses by Centennial for municipal, augmentation and other beneficial purposes. Applicants also seek to change the place of use to add the lands within Centennial’s existing and future service areas, including without limitation the lands in Highlands Ranch, the Northern Douglas County Water and Sanitation District, and United Development’s planned unit development, which is in the process of being included in the Northern Douglas County Water and Sanitation District, as shown on the maps attached as Appendix A. Applicants also seek to change the points of diversion and places of storage to allow the Water Rights to be diverted and/or stored at new alternate points of diversion and places of storage for Centennial’s water supply system. 3. Decreed Names of Structures for which Changes Are Sought: Slaght Ditch as most recently adjudicated in Case Nos. 2003CW238 and 2016CW3197 and as set forth in ¶4.2. 4. Description of Water Rights for which Changes Are Sought: 4.1. Water Rights. United Development has entered into a contract with NFA and MMRC to purchase the Water Rights, which consist of up to 765.9 shares of MMRC Class A stock that entitle United Development to receive on an annual basis up to 24.05 acre feet of consumptive use water from the Slaght Ditch water rights. United Development’s share of the Slaght Ditch equates to 0.36 c.f.s. of Slaght Ditch water rights as changed in Case No. 2016CW3197. 4.2. Slaght Ditch. In accordance with the decree entered in Civil Action No. 1678 of Park County District Court, on May 22, 1913, the Slaght Ditch was awarded a direct flow priority of May 1, 1863, for 2.0 cubic feet per second for irrigation purposes. The source of water is the North Fork of the South Platte River. The point of diversion for the Slaght Ditch was originally established to be a point on the North bank of the North Fork of the South Platte River in the NE1/4 SE1/4, of Section 21, Township 7 South, Range 73 West, 6th P.M., approximately 2,060 feet North and 490 feet West of the Southeast Corner of Section 21. Pursuant to a decree entered by the District Court for Water Division 1 in Case No. 82CW472, on October 3, 1983, the Maddox Reservoir Feeder Ditch was approved as an alternate point of diversion for the Slaght Ditch water right. The point of diversion of the Maddox Reservoir Feeder Ditch is located on

point of diversion for the Slaght Ditch was originally established to be a point on the North bank of the North Fork of the South Platte River in the NE1/4 SE1/4, of Section 21, Township 7 South, Range 73 West, 6th P.M., approximately 2,060 feet North and 490 feet West of the Southeast Corner of Section 21. Pursuant to a decree entered by the District Court for Water Division 1 in Case No. 82CW472, on October 3, 1983, the Maddox Reservoir Feeder Ditch was approved as an alternate point of diversion for the Slaght Ditch water right. The point of diversion of the Maddox Reservoir Feeder Ditch is located on the North bank of the North Fork of the South Platte River in the NW1/4 SW1/4, Section 22, Township 7 South, Range 73 West, 6th P.M., approximately 1,240 feet East and 1,740 feet North of the Southwest Corner of Section 22. In Case No. 79CW339, 0.12 of a cubic foot per second of the Slaght Ditch water right was changed to augmentation, replacement and storage purposes. In Case No. 81CW253, the point of diversion for 0.008 of a cubic foot per second of the Slaght Ditch priority was changed to a new location, with the water continuing to be used for irrigation purposes. Of the remaining 1.872 cubic feet per second, 0.481 of a cubic foot per second was transferred by MMRC in Case No. 2003CW238 and 0.727 of a cubic foot per second was transferred by MMRC in Case No. 2016CW3197. MMRC’s change of water right approved by the Court in Case No. 2003CW238 was based on the 54.51 historically irrigated acres stated in the Decree entered in Case No. 82CW472. Pursuant to the decree in Case No. 2003CW238, the average historical consumptive use yield for the Slaght Ditch water right is 82.0 acre feet per year for the 1.872 cubic feet per second referenced in the Case No. 82CW472 decree. The average consumptive use yield for the subject Slaght Ditch water right transferred in Case No. 2016CW3197 is 31.8 acre-feet. Pursuant C.R.S. 37-92-305(3)(e) and the decrees in Case No. 2003CW238 and 2016CW3197 citing Williams v. Midway Ranches, 938 P.2d 515 (Colo. 1997), the historic consumptive use quantified for the Slaght Ditch water right is res judicata. The Water Rights derive from a portion of the water rights changed in Case No. 2016CW3197. The final decree in Case No. 2016CW3197, including maps showing the Slaght Ditch structures and the historically irrigated lands, is attached hereto as Appendix B. 4.3 Relevant Terms and Conditions from Case No. 2016CW3197: The maximum rate of diversion for the Slaght Ditch water rights changed in Case No. 2016CW3197 is 0.47 c.f.s. Applicants’ use of the Water Rights will be subject to a pro-rata percentage of that diversion rate as well as a pro-rata percentage of the monthly and annual volumes from that earlier decree. 5. Proposed changes: 5.1 Change in type of use: The Water Rights are currently decreed for irrigation, augmentation, replacement, exchange and substitution uses.

Applicants request that the type of use of the Water Rights be changed to include all of the following uses: municipal, augmentation, domestic, industrial, commercial, irrigation, stock watering, recreation, fish and wildlife preservation and propagation, fire protection, aquifer recharge purposes, and substitution and exchange and replacement, including both immediate application for such purposes and storage for subsequent application for such purposes.

The Water Rights changed herein are fully consumable and will be used, reused and successively used for the above purposes to extinction.

5.2. Change in place of use: Applicants request that the place of use be changed to specifically add lands within Centennial’s existing and future service areas, including without limitation the lands in Highlands Ranch, the Northern Douglas County Water and Sanitation District, and United Development’s planned unit development, which is in the process of being included in the Northern Douglas County Water and Sanitation District, as shown on the maps attached as Appendix A. Centennial may also use the water to meet its replacement or delivery obligations in Water Division No. 1. 5.3.

Changes in points of diversion and places of storage: Applicants request that the Water Rights be changed to allow diversion and/or storage at any combination of the following new points of diversion and places of storage, which are in addition to the existing decreed points of diversion, for the changed uses described above: 5.3.1.

Donations needed to help families at Thanksgiving Food, cash aid drive to provide holiday meals in Englewood

BY TOM MUNDS TMUNDS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Englewood’s Mosaic Church and the Greater Englewood Chamber of Commerce join forces again this year to collect donations of food needed to provide Thanksgiving food baskets for needy families.

“This is the ninth year the chamber has assisted on the Englewood Turkey Basket Project,” said Debbie Penn, chamber secretary. “Our goal is to collect the donations we need to put together 120 baskets. Last year we distributed about that many baskets with a turkey and all ingredients need to prepare the traditional Thanksgiving meal. Last year’s effort provided food for about 750 people.”

Each basket provides canned vegetables, packaged stuffing mix, packages of

instant potatoes and jars of gravy. There is also a supermarket voucher to purchase a turkey.

“We accept donations of canned food and supermarket gift cards,” Penn said. “There usually is an abundance of donated canned good. If there are more canned goods than are needed for the food baskets the excess items are donated to the food bank at Mosaic Church.”

A canned food drive for the Thanksgiving baskets will be held from 8 a.m. until noon Nov. 10 at King Soopers, 101 Englewood Parkway. Penn said donated cash is needed to buy a turkey for each of the food baskets. The suggested cash donation is $10.

Donations can be dropped off at the Greater Englewood Chamber of Commerce located in the Community Bank of Colorado building at 3501 S Broadway.

The baskets will be put together Nov. 16 at the Mosaic Church, 4101 S. Lincoln St., and will be distributed on Nov. 18.

BENTON FROM PAGE 22

I still remember the triple overtime in Florida when the Avalanche captured their first NHL Stanley Cup title in 1996.

In the playoffs in the National Hockey League, teams keep playing until one team wins.

High school soccer coaches routinely practice penalty kicks and keepers are schooled on what to watch to maybe get a hint on where the shooters plan to aim their attempt.

Tied World Cup knockout games were first replayed, which isn’t an answer for high school teams. World Cup shootouts were introduced in 1978, and 30 matches have been decided by penalty-kick shootouts.

The biggest problem is there hasn’t been a viable alternative to a shootout.

Fatigue and sloppy play, especially for high school players, is a disadvantage of letting teams continue until a winner is determined.

“We have not had any recent conversation about changing our playoff overtime format,” said CHSAA assistant commissioner Ernie Derrera.

A few proposals have been made internationally to improve endings to tied matches.

One would be to change the format of the shootouts, since the team that shoots first wins 60 percent of the shootouts. Arapahoe shot first against Broomfield in the Nov. 7 semifinals.

Instead of teams alternating shooters, the first team would shoot once then the second team twice, then the first team twice until it gets to the final round

shooter, which would be a player from the second team. Another idea would be to reduce a player on each team and keep decreasing players as the overtimes progress.

The notion I like is to have the penalty shootout after regulation match ends and before the overtime sessions begin. It gives the losing shootout team a chance for redemption. If neither team scores during the ensuing OT periods, then the winner of the shootout would be declared the winner of the match. But for now, I will just have to enjoy the drama provided by shootouts and keep quiet.

Arapahoe goalkeeper Spencer Cobb probably best summed up penalty-kick shootouts.

“PKs are the definition of soccer because it’s so fickle,” he said. “It can go both ways.

You like PKs when you win. It shouldn’t always come down to that.”

Pomona, Boll vault to top Pomona won its fourth consecutive girls Class 5A gymnastics team title Nov. 1 at the CHSAA state meet with a narrow victory over Overland, but the Panthers’ accomplishment had to be shared with an individual from Lakewood.

Lakewood’s Amber Boll, a senior who has committed to the Air Force Academy, won the 5A all-around title on Nov. 1 but drew more attention in winning the individual vault competition with a perfect 10.0 score on Nov. 3. She also captured individual titles on the uneven bars, balance beam and floor exercise.
