Crow eyes ethics reform, campaign finance, guns New congressman talks about goals after ousting incumbent

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

&

After besting fiveterm Republican Rep. Mike Coffman — who had previously proven to be ironclad in the 6th Congressional District — new Democratic Rep. Jason Crow in January entered Washington under a government shutdown and a caustic environment between Democrats and the White House.

Amid the chaos, Crow says he’s keeping his eye on the ball, moving early to support campaign finance reform and push gun con- Crow trol measures while also working to end the shutdown.

The 6th District includes Aurora, Highlands Ranch, Littleton, Centennial, Brighton and the north part of Thornton, among other areas.

Crow, an Aurora resident, talked to Colorado Community Media Jan. 10 about his first priorities in Congress and his plans to engage the district’s communities. Responses were lightly edited for clarity.

QA

Has the shutdown changed your first priorities in Congress?

It’s not an “either-or” — it’s not about addressing the shutdown or the promises. We’re doing both. On the first day of Congress, within hours, we passed an omnibus appropriations bill to reopen the government. This was not a partisan bill. Just a few months ago, it got overwhelming support from Republicans.

Since then, I’ve also co-sponsored (the bill) HR 1, which has three parts.

A campaign finance reform component deals with ending the influence of dark money in politics — disclosing money so you’re able to see who’s behind some of these ads and organizations.

The second major pillar is a voting rights (component) and aims to end gerrymandering.

The third is an ethics reform, slowing the revolving door between politicians and the private sector, and preventing members of Congress from serving on corporate boards, to make sure they’re focused on the work of the people when they’re here.

What are the most pressing issues in CD6?

The first is that we have to open the government. There are (thousands of) Coloradans who are furloughed or working without pay. Yesterday, I held shutdown office hours, answering phones and listening to stories of people in the district, letting them know we’re working hard to resolve this is-

sue. These are our friends, neighbors, members of our communities, being held hostage by this president.

I talked about on the campaign trail: gun-violence prevention. I’m someone who grew up a hunter, and I’m a combat veteran, but I’m also a parent. I don’t have to tell you, our community has been impacted a lot more than most by gun violence. HR 8 (which would close the “gun-show” loophole for background checks) was introduced two days ago.

We have to protect our “dreamers” — that issue has gone on way too long.

(Sixteen percent of) people in the district were born outside the country.

We need to put family reunification in immigration at the forefront.

How do you see yourself fitting into oversight of the White House?

I was not sent to Washington to play political games. The people of Colorado uniquely don’t view themselves through a political lens — they just want someone to get the job done.

But Congress undoubtedly has a really important role to serve as the check on executive branch. That’s how the framers envisioned the legislative branch, and that’s what I’m going to do. And the last few years, I think we saw a Congress unwilling to do that with this administration. I’m not afraid to do it when it’s necessary.

We still have kids separated at the border. We need to codify restrictions to make sure that doesn’t happen again.

Coffman made efforts to reach out to immigrant communities. Do you feel you can emulate that?

I have my own approach to leadership. What that was over the last two years, and will continue to be, is a high degree of transparency and accessibility. I made a commitment I was going to run a grassroots campaign, be everywhere, and at end of the day, by the time Nov. 6 rolled around, we had been a part of almost 300 community events. That’s from Highlands Ranch all way up to Brighton and eastern Thornton. We went to every group within the district and made our case, and we’re going to continue to do that.

I made a pledge to hold town halls once every quarter. I’m going to be at events and let people know where I stand on the important issues facing this community and this country. I will hear from them and keep an open mind as well as I go forward.

You had your disagreements, but what’s something you might admire Coffman for?

Coffman and I share a history of service … After the election, Mike Coffman and I went to a Veterans Day event together, stood next to each other and supported our vets, shoulder to shoulder. At the end of the day, coming off a hard-fought campaign, we were focused on supporting veterans, and I was proud to do that.

Arapahoe County officials take oath of office Incoming Arapahoe County Sheriff Tyler Brown addresses the crowd after taking his oath of office. Brown, 36, thanked outgoing Sheriff Dave Walcher for his years of service.

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

There’s a new sheriff in town — and a few other new elected officials to boot.

Arapahoe County’s elected officials took their oaths at the county commissioners’ chambers in Littleton on Jan. 8, after a November election that saw three incumbent Republicans voted out in favor of Democratic challengers.

Tyler Brown became Arapahoe County’s new sheriff, having defeated incumbent Dave Walcher.

“I stand here humbled by the task and the great opportunity to serve the citizens of Arapahoe County,” Brown said. “I’m committed to ensuring that Arapahoe County stays one of the safest counties to live, work and raise families.”

Joan Lopez became the new clerk and recorder, having defeated incumbent Matt Crane.

“This is the second time I ran for this office,” Lopez said. “When I told my daughter I was running again, she cried, because it’s a lot of work... but this is my career. This is something I

PK Kaiser was sworn in as county assessor, having defeated incumbent Marc Scott.

“I’m going to work to make sure the assessor’s office is more accessible to everyone in this county,” Kaiser said.

“I’ll play by the rules, and I will never let you down.”

Also sworn in: • District 4 County Commissioner Nancy Jackson, a Democrat, who was re-elected with two-thirds of the vote over Republican challenger Winfred Deal.

Arapahoe County budget up thanks to revenue growth STAFF REPORT

Arapahoe County adopted a $404.3 million budget for 2019 in December, up from $390 million last year and bolstered by increased revenue, according to county documents.

“A lot of very hard work went into preparing the 2019 budget this year, and as our county’s population continues to grow, our citizens expect us to provide the many varied services in the most frugal, yet professional and efficient manner possible,” Arapahoe County Commissioner Jeff Baker said in a news release. “Part of that process includes separating the `wants’ from the `needs’ and keeping our finances balanced and in compliance with TABOR restrictions. I believe we have accomplished that goal this

year.”

A 4.1 percent increase in revenue allowed the county to balance its operating budget with a $2.1 million surplus, according to a county news release. That allows money to be set aside for one-time uses, such as infrastructure, technology and transportation projects.

The 2019 budget includes funding for 46 new employees, bringing the total to 2,204.4. Many of the new positions are in the sheriff ’s office, including several patrol officers, deputies in the jail and courts, communications and dispatch staff, and some in the new Regional Crime Lab. Other new positions in 2019 include an engineering inspector, traffic engineering technician, maintenance staff in the Facilities and

Open Space departments, a software developer, cybersecurity analyst and a public information officer.

The budget includes a 3.3 percent merit-based pay raised for county employees, and $800,000 in increases to the district attorney’s office and health department.

The budget allocates $12.8 million for capital improvement projects, many of which were deferred during the Great Recession, according to the budget’s introduction.

Projects include: • $3.1 million to replace the door control system in the county jail.

• $1.7 million for improvements to Iliff Avenue.

• $1.5 million to improve pedestrian crossings on Sixth Avenue.

The full budget is available at arapahoe.gov.

• District 2 County Commissioner Nancy Sharpe, a Republican, who narrowly squeezed out a win over challenger Don Strickland.

• County Treasurer Sue Sandstrom, a Republican, who ran unopposed.

• County Coroner Kelly Lear, a Republican, who ran unopposed.

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

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

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

T

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

Matt Lazarus, of Castle Rock, “was known for having a ‘heart of gold’” and “will be missed by many,” according to his profile, which does not specify when or how he died. “I am so proud to call him my son,” the profile reads. “Love and miss you forever Matthew.”

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

His profile says it was the 22-year-old’s first time using the drug — he was attempting to stifle pain from a dry socket complication from the removal of his wisdom teeth. “As a mother it never gets easier, it just gets different. Prayers to every mother that’s gone/going through this same pain.”

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

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

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

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

Eventually, as a result of that outreach, Adams and Arapahoe counties teamed with Tri-County Health Department, a health agency serving Arapahoe, Adams and Douglas county residents, to form the Tri-County Overdose Prevention Partnership in 2016. Its

COURTESY PHOTO

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

JESSICA GIBBS mission: to prevent opioid overdoses in the three counties and better educate the community on their addictive power.

“This initially started with just a concerned citizen coming in,” Adams County Commissioner Steve O’Dorisio said of Lindemann. “He was so influential.”

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

J.T. was transparent about his oxycodone use, Lindemann said. “He said, ‘Give me five minutes and I can go into any bar and come out with it.’ He knew how to get it. It was just everywhere.”

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

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

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

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

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

And that he needed to do something to help.

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

The maps were haunting, O’Dorisio remembers.

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

Adams County, along with Denver, Jefferson and El Paso, had the darkest crimson hue.

The others showed activity on social media from people sharing about lost loved ones,

Locations and maps of medication take-back sites are available on the Colorado Department of Health & Environment website, colorado.gov/cdphe, along with information about what is and is not accepted. Tri-County Health Department also provides maps of medication take-back sites and needle disposal locations. Those are available at tchd.org/opioids. locations of medication dropoff sites, deaths broken down by age or drug type, and more.

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

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

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

In 2012, the Arapahoe County commissioner was appointed to his first term in office when he began noticing signs of the opioid problem beyond his own family. Holen started networking with other county and state officials to address the issue. In the spring of 2013, Arapahoe County formed the Arapahoe County Opioid Task Force to closely examine the problem and try to develop a plan to begin to address it. It initially included the coroner, sheriff and Holen, but later expanded to include Kaiser Permanente, Holen said.

In 2013, Holen’s nephew died of a drug overdose the day after checking into a halfway house. He was attempting to transition back home after successfully completing a 30-day detox and a six-month outpa-

tient program. He’d asked to come home, Holen said, but his parents feared he wasn’t ready and hoped the halfway house could be a stepping-stone out of treatment.

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

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

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

The rate of prescription opioid overdose deaths in Arapahoe County in 2013 was 1.6 per 100,000 people. In 2010, the rate was 1.95 and last year it was 6.2 per 100,000 people. For heroin, the rate was 2 overdose deaths per 100,000 people in 2013. In 2010, it was 0.64 and in 2017 nearly 2.5 per 100,000 people.

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

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

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

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

The partnership quickly identified people in the community who wanted to fight the epidemic, including law enforcement agencies, members of the criminal justice system and community leaders, O’Dorisio said. The partnership, managed by Tri-County Health Department, today comprises more than 30 organizations and private citizens.

In 2017, the partnership drafted goals and a multipronged attack plan by creating workgroups to focus on six key areas: youth prevention, public awareness, provider education, safe disposal, harm SEE MAP, P7

reduction and treatment.

TCOPP is among several organizations in Colorado leading the way to curb the opioid epidemic, said J. Scott Bainbridge, founder of Denver Back Pain Specialists and board member of the Colorado Pain Society. Holding workshops, like ones that TCOPP offers to educate providers on best prescribing practices, is important in the mission.

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

The number of prescription opioid-related deaths in Adams, Arapahoe and Douglas counties from 2012 through 2013 was 150. From 2014 through 2015 it was 206. From 2016 through 2017, the number dropped to 183.

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

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

Fentanyl is a synthetic, or man-made, opioid medication that’s classified by the Drug Enforcement Administration as having a high potential for abuse. It is 50 to 100 times more potent than morphine, according to the National Institute on Drug Abuse. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports the most recent cases of overdoses or deaths related to fentanyl involved illegally made versions of the drug.

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

From 2012 through 2013, the three counties reported 44 heroin deaths. Over the next two years that increased by 39 percent, and from 2016 to 2017 it increased again by 54 percent from 2014-2015 for a total of 94 heroin deaths in the two-year period.

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

The partnership is collecting data so that it can accurately measure the effects of its efforts, O’Dorisio said. He hopes it continues to make relationships with organizations relevant to the crisis and further promote accountability for opioid use and the prescrib-

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

The National Institute on Drug ing of opioids.

Holen is hoping for the same.

“Thousands and thousands of people’s lives have been altered — families are grieving every place in America,” Holen said. “The only way it’s going to get resolved is through a collaborative effort.”

‘It just gets different’ The maps Lindemann showed his commissioners three years ago are now filled with outdated data and links that don’t work — except for

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

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

The map is now promoted in the organization’s Stop Everyday Killers campaign, which travels the country exhibiting a memorial comprising 22,000 white opioid pills engraved with the faces of someone who died in the epidemic during 2015. Anyone

who views the memorial is also informed about Celebrating Lost Loved Ones.

In Highlands Ranch, there’s Lindsey Jo, who grew addicted to pain medication after being prescribed pills for back problems, her profile says. She died in 2016 after several attempts at treatment and an eight-month stint of sobriety.

“I cannot describe the pain that my entire family is going through,” one of Lindsey’s parents wrote. “We will never be the same and I am so angry that she did not get the help she needed.”

Columbine Square could see hundreds of apartments Owners hope to build more than 300 units on empty site, mum on details

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Columbine Square’s owners have offered the first glimpse at their plans for the long-empty parcel in west Littleton, but they’re staying mum on the details.

The site’s owners would like to build more than 300 housing units on the site, with the vast majority in three-story buildings facing Belleview Avenue and Federal Boulevard, according to documents filed with the city. The plans also call for a handful of retail spaces facing Federal.

The site’s developer is Lauren Brockman, the principal of Conver-

gence Multifamily Real Estate Group, according to documents. Brockman did not respond to requests for comment. Neither did Redwood-Kairos Real Estate Partners, the Californiabased real estate goliath that owns the site.

The plans don’t represent a formal proposal, said Jocelyn Mills, the city’s community development director.

“All we’ve done is hold a pre-application meeting,” Mills said. “That’s simply a landowner coming and saying ‘this is what we’d like to do,’ and we provide feedback about what steps they’d need to take.”

In this case, Mills said, the owner’s plans would require a change to the site’s zoning, which would require several public hearings: first, at least one neighborhood meeting hosted by the owners, then public hearings before the city planning commission and eventually city council if the plans were approved.

The plans already submitted to the city make no mention of possible rental rates.

Formerly home to a sprawling strip mall, Columbine Square has sat vacant since 2014. Numerous buildings on the site sat empty for years, drawing vandalism and squatters, until a fire in the first few days of 2018 left one building destroyed and spurred the demolition of the rest.

The site is the cornerstone of the city’s sole remaining urban renewal district, overseen by Littleton Invests For Tomorrow, or LIFT board.

The designation means the owners could potentially apply to access a pool of taxpayer money to build improvements on the site, but it’s unknown if they plan to do so, said board chairman Kevin Seiler.

“I’ve never talked to any of them,” Seiler said of the site’s owners.

Seiler was already working on convening a meeting of property owners

in the urban renewal district when the Columbine Square plans came to light, he said. The district includes O’Toole’s Garden Center, just south of Columbine Square, and stretches as far south as Prentice Avenue and as far west as South Lowell Boulevard, according to city maps.

Seiler said he wasn’t enthusiastic about the developer’s plans.

“What I’d like to see is more in line with what the neighborhood wants to see,” Seiler said. “They want retail. Businesses. We want a project everybody can be happy with, whether there’s urban renewal or not.”

A thread on the Nextdoor community message board about the plans drew mixed responses.

“Gosh, I would hope for something a lot better in this day and age,” read one comment.

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

What they’re saying

BY JOSEPH RIOS JRIOS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

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

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

“The biggest thing is the psychological effects — the uncertainty and anxiety,” said Slyder, a Wheat Ridge resident. Slyder is a contract geospatial imaging specialist for the Bureau of Land Management. He declined to say which company he works for, because he wanted to speak as an individual about his own experience.

“We have some money tucked away.

But how long will (the government shutdown) go on for? There’s only so long that I can hold out. It’s important to let people hear what people in our situation are going through.”

The U.S. government went into a partial shutdown when President Donald Trump requested more than $5 billion from Congress to be added to federal spending legislation to pay for a wall on the Mexico border. The previous federal spending legislation expired Dec. 21, and when Democrats strongly opposed funding Trump’s wall, he refused to step down from his request — leading to the shutdown.

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

Bennet

Gardner across 44 office buildings.

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

“I love my job, it’s never a problem for me to go in,” said Sabel, a Lakewood resident. “I was dedicated to the cause — and this is what I get.”

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

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

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

“I’m trying to figure out how to make $500 stretch another two weeks. The chaos of not knowing what’s going to happen is the hardest part,” said Moody, who lives in

Wheat Ridge. “I’ve probably put five miles in just pacing back and forth.

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

Trump recently stated that he is prepared to continue the partial government shutdown for “months,

or even years.”

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

Froelich takes state House vacancy Former councilmember fills seat after Bridges moves to Senate

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Meg Froelich, a former Greenwood Village city councilmember who was bested by state Rep. Jeff Bridges in the 2016 Democratic primary for state House District 3, will now succeed him in that seat after winning a vacancy election.

“I have experience in both city council and nonprofit management,” Froelich said on stage Jan. 7 at the Englewood Civic Center before a vote among Arapahoe County Democratic Party activists. “I know the players at the Capitol.”

She pulled away with 45 votes, beating opponent John Stone, a union organizer, who garnered 13.

The district covers Englewood, Sheridan, Cherry Hills Village, Greenwood Village and northern Littleton.

Froelich will represent House District 3, which covers suburbs south of Denver.

The seat opened after a similar vote Jan. 5 selected Bridges, D-Greenwood Village, to fill a vacancy in Senate District 26 left by state Sen. Daniel Kagan, D-Cherry Hills Village, who resigned.

DA to examine claims of innocence for convicted 18th Judicial DA launches Conviction Review Unit

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

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

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

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

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

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

side of the Conviction Review Unit process.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Littleton takes silver in annual effort to collect socks for homeless

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Littleton is used to taking first place, but the city came in a close second in this year’s Sock It To Em campaign, an annual month-long effort to collect socks for the homeless.

Littleton collected 1,025 pairs of socks in Dec. 2018, losing first place to Greenwood Village, which collected 1,075 pairs, according to city officials.

Lone Tree, Englewood and Centennial also competed, bringing the grand total to 3,397 pairs.

Founded in 2012, Sock It To Em is a nationwide effort to collect socks for the homeless, which organizers say are among the most requested items by people in dire straits, according to the group’s website.

Driscoll, who represents the area, said in an email that he wasn’t impressed by the plans.

“I don’t believe this plan will get neighborhood support,” Driscoll said.

“This is a great parcel, and I would like to see more creativity.”

Seiler said he’s eager to see plans of some sort move forward, saying the site is again drawing squatters.

“We’re looking for ways to partner with the property owners to improve the look and feel of the area,” Seiler said. “Right now having a homeless tent city on the property doesn’t do anyone any good.”

VOICES A handwritten letter can speak volumes

nce a week, I go fishing.

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

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

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

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

winter. She called it a “fan letter.”

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

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

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

Janet is familiar with Lake Superior State University in Sault

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

“Transparency” for one.

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

“Legally drunk.” Think about it.

I sent Janet a letter and

PARTISAN WRANGLING MATCH

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

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

Early accelerated success leads to continued success

A

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

There is no doubt.

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

V. ALLAN LOHOFF 3/21/1937 - 11/14/2018

Virgil Allan Lohoff, age 81, succumbed to cancer and died peacefully on November 14, 2018, in Chandler, AZ. Allan is survived by his son, Vance Lohoff, of Sunnyvale, California; his daughter, Janeen Bezona, of Hesston, Kansas; his longtime girlfriend, Joanne Zimmerman, of Sun Lakes, AZ; his sister Linda Spomer and husband GG of Spokane, Washington, and by his sister in law, Saralee Lohoff, of Parker, Colorado, and many nieces and nephews. He is preceded in death by his parents, Virgil Oscar and Lydia Lee (Price) Lohoff, of Englewood, Colorado; his brother, John Clark Lohoff, of Littleton, Colorado; and son in law Edward Lynn Bezona, of Manter, Kansas.

Allan was born at home on March 21, 1937 in Englewood, Colorado to parents Virgil and Lee Lohoff. He graduated from University of Colorado Boulder in 1960 with a dual degree in Chemistry and Business. After graduation, he moved to Flint, Michigan and worked several years as a Chemist for DuPont Company. Allan accepted a position at Memorex Corporation in San Jose, California where he was involved in developing hi-temperature resistant magnetic information coating for the computer discs aboard spacecraft. He joined colleges to develop Dysan Corporation, where he worked until he retired, before age 50. He also spent 2 years in Japan in the mid-80’s, consulting on magnetic coatings for the Mori-Denki Company.

He was very proud of the fact that he developed 3 patents for magnetic information formulas, two while working at Memorex and one while working at Dysan.

Allan was a good provider and loved taking his family on outings most weekends to the beach, mountains, parks, zoos, and even camping. He was married and divorced twice in

his life, first to Patricia (Patty Lou Allen) Lohoff in 19591992, and the couple had two children together, Vance Allan and Janeen Sue. Then in 1998 he was married to Linda Hassell of California. Thirty years ago, Allan was PappaFuzzy-Head to two granddaughters, Jessica and Breanna, and more recently, a Great-Grampa to two grandsons, Allyn Dean and Bruce Edward. Finally, after the millenium, he settled in Sun Lakes, Arizona where Allan met the love of his life, Joanne Zimmerman. They traveled the world and enjoyed many cruises and road trips together.

Allan was a very social and active man, who loved his career, yet was an independent retiree much of his life.

Allan did his best to really enjoy life; he especially enjoyed the beach, fast-cars, trains, chess, painting modern art, gardening, good food and dancing. He loved entertaining people by playing the piano, classical and new age music.

He hosted mini-concerts at his home in Sun Lakes and often played at small venues; he even composed songs for special ladies in his life. Allan was a reveller, he truly enjoyed a good party and entertainment. He often expressed a wish to have a New Orleans style funeral, with good food, and a jazz band! His family and friends will always remember him as a fun-loving person.

A Celebration of Life Gathering is scheduled for MARCH 21, 2019, in Sun Lakes AZ with a reception at the Cottonwood Saguaro Room. Family and friends are welcome to attend and celebrate Allan’s life. The family would like to thank Hospice of the Valley in Chandler and 24 Hour Home Care for wonderful end of life care. In lieu of flowers, please send donations to HOV Dobson Home at 1188 N Dobson Road, Chandler AZ 85224-4004 with V. Allan Lohoff Memorial in the memo line.

Word is, state is seeking premier poet

Hit the

P

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

BY NICK PUCKETT NPUCKETT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

V

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

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

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

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

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

Fiber optic lights in “Natura Obscura,” an Immersive exhibit opened at Museum of Outdoor Arts on Jan. 11.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Now that it’s a popular tourist destination for Americans (and has been for years for Europeans), one will want to learn more.

The IMAX film, “Cuba,” which just opened and will run until Jan. 23, before it opens wide across the country, is just a beautiful presentation, directed by Peter Chang, who obviously fell in love with Cuba.

It begins with an aerial view of Old Havana, then zeroes in on city scenes, with colonial buildings, those legendary 1950s automobiles and music and dance ...

Then a viewer is transported over lush, green, uninhabited terrain, wide ocean sunsets and lovely underwater shots of coral reefs, brilliant fish in many colors and exotic plants waving in the currents. Absolutely stunning!

A side note is a study by scientists showing that the reef is thriving there, while others are dying worldwide, because farmers were too poor to use chemical fertilizers, which drain into the seas, adding too much nitrogen.

Even though things have improved, organic farming is widely practiced and the supply of fresh fruits and vegetables is appealing and available.

Chang finds people of all ages dancing — in the streets, in plazas, at the beach ...

He introduces internationally recognized Havana City Historian Eusabio Leal, who many years ago convinced Fidel Castro to let him have a small area

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

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

Lastly, how do we continue to grow once we have met with success and have established a solid and proven track record of success? This is where continuous improvement and learning comes in. Regardless of our age, we are never too young or too old to learn something new. And again, it’s as simple as taking that next step. Picking up the next book, going to the next seminar, subscribing to a podcast about the topic or activity you are trying to learn more about. Search out and find the right coach or mentor.

Success is a process, not an event.

Success is a journey and not a final destination. Consistent with procrastination being a killer of success, time is also our friend and our enemy when it comes to success.

Similar to procrastination, but different enough to call it out. Procrastination means we are intentionally putting something off, something we control. Time keeps on ticking, whether we want it to or not.

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

Every financial plan should cover the key risks for any goal, but especially retirement, since it is the most expensive and longest lasting goal you will likely have. These perils include market volatility, health care costs, inflation and outliving your money. You should also consider that early retirement can cause you to spend more on travel, home improvements or doing things you never had time for while you were working. These large-ticket items also come with an inflation factor that is usually higher than the Consumer Price Index. This is important since investment returns and Social Security all mimic economic growth and inflation. Therefore, your income may not be keeping up with your expenses.

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

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

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

This is planning and deciding when to retire, determining how much you need to live on and what your assets and resources are to last your lifetime. The decisions you make in this phase are most crucial since you still have 30-40

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

I met with my editor for our annual conversation over coffee. (Mine, black.

His, polluted with cream and sugar.) He encouraged me to write more humaninterest stories, and I am all for it.

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

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

“I have only been to the University of Michigan campus once when I was

invited to some kind of med-school, fraternity special weekend. I was duly impressed with the historic, gorgeous campus — not my date.”

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

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

years of life to fund along with many unknown factors that could derail any plan.

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

The number one detriment we see in retirement planning is the inability to determine what your expenses will be. This is one of the crucial parts of planning for your “red zone.” The number two detriment we see is being too conservative too early. This chokes off potential growth that is needed for decades of inflation and unknown variables. Make certain you are designing your retirement strategy with all of these factors in mind.

Then you can look forward to the “red

zone,” and on Super Bowl Sunday, the end zone!

Plant lecture starts 2019 right for area gardeners

BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

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

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

“The art of gardening in Colorado is the art of having an awareness of what you’re doing — don’t drown, don’t scorch,” he reminded us. As he spoke, he’d pull back to talk about how to grow a particular historic plant in

SKIING FROM PAGE 14

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

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

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

our home gardens. Perhaps it’s one that requires shade …

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

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

His particular topic on Jan. 2 was plants discovered by Maj. Stephen Long’s Expedition in 1819/20, which started in Pittsburgh, crossed the plains and followed the South Platte River out of Nebraska and south to Pikes Peak and beyond to the Arkansas River’s starting place, passing near to Littleton.

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

explorations followed.

The Long expedition was ordered

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

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

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

The speaker told of a particular day when a group of botanists just focused on seeking new plants on Pikes Peak and scored a great many new ones on that day. “Butterfly weed,” named by Torrey on this expedition, is found everywhere in the West. Torrey also named the common lupine. Pursch, a German botanist took samples of it back east with him.

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

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

(It’s the time of year when gardeners hungrily consume flower and plant catalogs! Tune in and enjoy!)

These hardy descendents of plants James and Torrey found tend to adapt happily to our suburban gardens today. Plantselect.org.

boards.

When it comes to renting, Lee agrees booking early is the way to go.

And where you rent can also make a huge different in your budget.

“Even renting at a Christy Sports in Denver versus in the mountains will save a few bucks,” Lee said. “Generally, renting in resort areas — even if it’s not from the resort — will be more expensive.”

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

For kids Encouraging kids to ski is huge for the industry, Lee said, so there are tons of ways to save on kids’ tickets.

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

Transportation Interstate 70 is famous for its mileslong bumper-to-bumper traffic during ski season. Sitting through traffic can be the most dreadful part of a ski

day, one that wastes time and money.

Smith recommends seeking out mountains off I-70, or ones closer to the Front Range, to avoid this problem.

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

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

SkiCarpool.com is a ride-sharing message board for people looking to save money on the trip up, while making a few friends in the process.

SkiCarpool is a nonprofit organization facilitating rides up to the mountains in Colorado.

Despite the fact that NBC’s “Friends” is more than 20 years old, and television has made great leaps in terms of innovation and storytelling, the long-running sitcom was Netflix’s second-most streamed show of 2018. No one told me life in the future

was gonna be this way.

Members of that dedicated fan base won’t want to miss “FRIENDS! The Musical Parody,” which spoofs the classic television show, at 7:15 and 9:45 p.m. on Friday, Jan. 18, 6 and 8:30 p.m. on Saturday, Jan. 19 and 4:30 and 7 p.m. on Sunday, Jan. 20 at Comedy Works South, 5345 Landmark Place in Greenwood Village.

The parody features some of the best moments and characters from “Friends” and sends them up in a hilariously ribald way. The show is fast-paced, funny and sure to send you home riding high on waves of nostalgia.

Clarke’s Concert of the Week — NAO at the Gothic One of the thrills about going to concerts early on in a performer’s career is seeing them come into their own on the stage. English R&B songstress NAO is at that point, following the release of her stellar sophomore album, “Saturn” in the final months of 2018.

In support of the album, she’ll be performing at The Gothic Theatre, 3263 S. Broadway in Englewood, at 8 p.m. on Wednesday, Jan. 23.

As a performer, NAO specializes in what she calls “wonky funk,” which is a blend of ‘90s R&B sounds with electronic sounds and funk influences. In other words, music that has the capacity to make you cry on the dancefloor.

Don’t miss the chance to see one of the most exciting voices in the genre by getting tickets at www.gothictheatre.com.

SPORTS STUDENT-ATHLETE STUDENT ATHLETE SPOTLIGHT Q&A with Bryson Stephens Who is your favorite athlete and why?

LeBron James. He’s inspirational. He’s doing stuff off the court with him starting a school and stuff. He’s a good player, leader, father and seems like a good friend and everything else.

What or who motivates you most to excel in sports?

My parents (Philippa and Thaddeus Stephens). They do a lot for me, paying for this basketball stuff because it is definitely not cheap. The stuff they do, I really appreciate.

What would be a perfect performance in basketball?

A perfect performance would be doing it all around, like rebounds, points, assists and doing whatever you can to help the team win.

Arapahoe guard Bryson Stephens.

JIM BENTON

Shooting guard travels, but not on the court Junior drives far to attend school of choice

BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

I

t takes Bryson Stephens more than 30 minutes to get to school each day and about the same amount of time or more to get home after basketball practice.

Stephens is a junior shooting guard at Arapahoe High School but does not live in the school district.

“It takes about 30 minutes to get to school,” he explained. “It’s a pretty

long drive. Yeah, I spend a lot of time in the car. I live by George Washington High School. I went to George Washington my freshman year and transferred here my sophomore year.”

Stephens saw action in two games for the Patriots as a freshman and has become a leader for the Warriors this season after a year off from varsity action.

“I’ve been playing basketball since I was 2 years old,” said Stephens. “I started at the YMCA and it

was just something new. It was a good fit for me. I just like it because it is free and a good sport that is not too physical. And I like to battle. Ever since I’ve been playing, I’ve always battled and that’s been a good thing for me.

“My shooting and defense has gotten better. My all-around game has gotten better. I’ve been in the gym working on all aspects of the game.”

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

Email Jim Benton at jbenton@ coloradocommunitymedia.com

What do you like to do away from sports and school?

I like to be with my friends.

I’m always with my friends or playing video games.

What are your plans after high school?

Definitely college and see how far basketball takes me. I want to get a good education, good degree and take it from there.

What is the toughest thing about playing basketball?

Defense, for me. Staying disciplined on defense.

COACH’S TAKE: ‘It’s been

amazing to see him grow as a player but more importantly as a young man. He has become a great player. Growing every day and asking questions on how to get better. It’s been fun to watch him blossom.’

Brad Jansen, Arapahoe basketball coach

Key stats | Stephens leads the team with a 13.4 points-per-game scoring average.

Running back has been quite a catch

M

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

That was a change which Borghi took as a challenge.

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

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

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

Pirate takes fifth place at tourney Three-sport athlete is rare junior on Englewood mat squad

BY TOM MUNDS TMUNDS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Englewood junior James Sharp won the matches needed to finish fifth as he joined the wrestlers from 23 teams who took part in the Dec. 5 Rebel Invitational Tournament at Denver South High School.

“I play three sports, football, lacrosse and wrestling, but wrestling is my favorite,” Sharp said during a break in the action.

“The things I learn in each sport help me in the other spots. For example, I feel the use of leverage, footwork and balance that are so important in wrestling help me in the other two sports.”

He said this summer he is plan-

BENTON FROM PAGE 22

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

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

ning to attend wrestling camps.

“There are a lot of good camps held during the summer. I would like to attend the Iowa camp.

Iowa is number one in wrestling in the Big 10 and their camp is highly rated,” he said. “There also a good camp at the University of Nebraska I would like to attend. I want to continue to become a better wrestler because after graduation I would like to wrestle in college and eventually earn the opportunity to wrestle in the Olympics.”

He said wrestling technique is very important in his weight division.

“In the 182-pound weight class strength is usually about equal,” he said. “That is why wresting techniques are so important in order to score points and win matches.”

Sharp wrestled Jacob Christenson of Alameda for fifth place at 182 pounds. The wrestlers grappled for an upper hand

throughout the match, but Sharp took his opponent down twice and scored an escape as he won the match, 4-1.

Pirates coach Lorenzo Moreno said this year’s team is made up mostly of sophomores and seniors.

“We have 15 wrestlers on the roster and about half are seniors wrestling for the first time plus we have a number of sophomores on the roster, so we are a young team as far as depth of mat experience goes,” Moreno said. “So because of their lack of mat experience I am entering a lot of our guys in junior varsity matches early in the season. I feel that additional mat experience is important if we move them up to the varsity level.”

He added that he expects the team to get stronger next season because there are a number of good junior high school wrestlers who are competing with the Englewood Youth Wrestling team.

football practice with the varsity.

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

“It helped a ton. College itself is hard to adjust to and it helped me a lot in the school aspect to get used to all that so I didn’t have to do it during the season. As far as football, there was a lot of sevenon-seven, working on my speed and stuff and in the weight room working to get strong to get ready for the season. It contributed to the season I had, learning the of-

fense and all that.”

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

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

“Just keep your head down and work,” advised Borghi. “Work hard and stay humble. Nothing improves yourself more than just working hard. That’s what it takes. You are not going to make it unless you work hard.”

Misc. for Rent

January 14, 2019

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

APPLICATION FOR DETERMINATION OF UNDERGROUND WATER RIGHTS FROM NONTRIBUTARY AND NOT-NONTRIBUTARY SOURCES IN ARAPAHOE COUNTY NORTH OF QUINCY. 2. Introduction: Through this Application, Applicant seeks to appropriate, perfect, and obtain vested rights for any and all nontributary and not nontributary ground water legally available to Applicant underlying specified parcels within portions the City of Aurora located in Arapahoe County North of Quincy Avenue that are described in Paragraph 3.4. and have not been previously permitted or decreed. This Court has jurisdiction to determine the water rights requested herein pursuant to C.R.S. § 37-90-137(6). 3.

Legal Descriptions of Wells and Parcels: 3.1.

Existing Wells Excluded: The Applicant seeks herein determination of its right to perfect its ownership, appropriate, obtain and withdraw only all heretofore unappropriated nontributary and not nontributary ground water which is legally available to it from the Dawson, Denver, Arapahoe, and Laramie-Fox Hills Aquifers, and any upper and lower designations thereof, underlying specified parcels within portions of the City of Aurora located in Arapahoe County North of Quincy Avenue that are described in Paragraph 3.4. Therefore, any and all existing wells owned and/or operated by the Applicant that withdraw nontributary or not nontributary groundwater from said aquifers, whether or not permitted or decreed, are specifically excluded from determination under this Application. 3.2.

Permits for Future Wells: The wells that will withdraw nontributary and/or not nontributary ground water pursuant to this adjudication do not currently exist, and the Applicant has not applied for permits to drill any of the wells. Consequently, none of the wells have well permits, registrations, or denial numbers. Prior to constructing any well described herein, Applicant will apply to the Division of Water Resources (the “State Engineer”) for a permit to construct any such well. The Applicant requests that the Court require the State Engineer to issue well permits for any such wells in accordance with the decree to be entered herein. Applicant requests a determination that a failure to construct any of its wells within the period of time specified in the well permit not be deemed to extinguish the underlying water rights. The Applicant also requests a determination that at such time as it is prepared to drill its wells, the State Engineer shall issue new well permits to replace any well permits that have expired and that said well permits be issued in accordance with the terms of the decree herein. 3.3. Location of Future Wells: Applicant seeks the right to locate the future wells at any suitable location within those parts of Arapahoe County North of Quincy Avenue annexed to the City of Aurora during and since 2000 (the “Subject Portion of the City of Aurora”) as more fully described in the following Paragraph 3.4., so long as the

ant also requests a determination that at such time as it is prepared to drill its wells, the State Engineer shall issue new well permits to replace any well permits that have expired and that said well permits be issued in accordance with the terms of the decree herein. 3.3. Location of Future Wells: Applicant seeks the right to locate the future wells at any suitable location within those parts of Arapahoe County North of Quincy Avenue annexed to the City of Aurora during and since 2000 (the “Subject Portion of the City of Aurora”) as more fully described in the following Paragraph 3.4., so long as the wells are at least 600 feet away from any other existing well in the same aquifer owned by another person or entity; however, the future wells may be located closer than 600 feet from any other existing wells in the same aquifer owned by another person or entity if, pursuant to C.R.S. § 37-90-137(2)(b)(II), the State Engineer, after hearing, finds circumstances warrant issuance of a permit and issues a permit for the wells. Applicant waives the 600-foot spacing requirement of C.R.S. § 37-90-137(2) within the Subject Portion of the City of Aurora and elsewhere within the City of Aurora. The Subject Portion of the City of Aurora consists of approximately 4,225 acres located in the parcels described in Paragraph 3.4. within Arapahoe County North of Quincy Avenue, Colorado, and more specifically set forth in Exhibit A.. Not all of the parcels are contiguous with one another; however, all are contiguous with portions of the City of Aurora wherein Aurora has previously adjudicated nontributary and not nontributary ground water from the identified aquifers. A map showing those parts of Arapahoe County North of Quincy Avenue annexed to the City of Aurora that are the subject of this Application and their relation and contiguity to the current City boundaries is attached hereto as Exhibit B. 3.4.

Parcel Ownership: The owners of lands within the Subject Portion of the City of Aurora specifically consented to withdrawal of ground water underlying their land by the Applicant pursuant to various Annexation Agreements and other documents or in other cases have conveyed the ground water to Aurora. Evidence of the Annexation Agreements and other consent documents required pursuant to Rule 3 of the Uniform Local Rules for All State Water Court Divisions and applicable deeds showing Aurora’s ownership of certain ground waters are part of the attached Exhibit C. As stated Aurora has obtained the consent of each overlying landowner to withdraw the groundwater by deed, or other written evidence and at the time of this Application the overlying land is within Aurora’s water service area. 4. Claims for Water Rights: The Applicant seeks herein determination of its right to perfect its ownership, appropriate, obtain and withdraw only all heretofore unappropriated nontributary and not nontributary ground water which is legally available to it from the Dawson, Denver, Arapahoe, and Laramie-Fox Hills Aquifers, and any upper and lower designations thereof, underlying the Subject Portion of the City of Aurora. Such aquifers may include where physically present the Upper Dawson, Lower Dawson, Denver, Upper Arapahoe, Lower Arapahoe and Laramie-Fox Hills Aquifers underlying the Subject Portion of the City of Aurora. The actual aquifers will be those determined to be available pursuant to the Denver Basin Rules (2 CCR 402-6) underlying the Subject Portion of the City of Aurora. 5. Production Rate Claimed: The Applicant seeks herein determination of its right to perfect its ownership, appropriate, obtain and withdraw only all heretofore unappropriated nontributary and not nontributary ground water which is legally available to it all of the Denver Basin aquifers underlying the Subject Portion of the City of Aurora over the 100-year life of the aquifers as set forth in C.R.S. § 37-90137(4) and to withdraw said amounts at whatever rate is required in order to do so and when the water is needed during the course of any year. Applicant requests the right to pump its wells at rates in excess of any nominal production rate to the extent necessary to withdraw the total number of acre feet which Applicant is entitled to withdraw from the aquifers each year including any banked water as described below in Paragraph 8.6. 6. Date of Appropriation, How Appropriation Was Initiated, and Date Water Was Applied to Beneficial Use: Applicant contends that the prior-appropriation doctrine does not apply to the ground water rights to be determined herein. Applicant requests the Court to determine notwithstanding the ground water involved herein has not been diverted and applied to beneficial use, the Applicant’s rights thereto are vested property rights and not conditional water rights subject to the requirements of findings of reasonable diligence. If it is determined that some or all of the ground water subject hereto is subject to the appropriation doctrine and/or must be decreed as conditional water rights, for the ground water underlying the Subject Portion of the City of Aurora, Applicant claims an appropriation date of December 18, 2018. 7. Proposed Use of Water: Applicant in-

Misc. Private Legals

determine notwithstanding the ground water involved herein has not been diverted and applied to beneficial use, the Applicant’s rights thereto are vested property rights and not conditional water rights subject to the requirements of findings of reasonable diligence. If it is determined that some or all of the ground water subject hereto is subject to the appropriation doctrine and/or must be decreed as conditional water rights, for the ground water underlying the Subject Portion of the City of Aurora, Applicant claims an appropriation date of December 18, 2018. 7. Proposed Use of Water: Applicant intends to use all available ground water withdrawn from any and all of the Denver Basin aquifers underlying the Subject Portion of the City of Aurora in a unified water supply system either inside or outside the current or future corporate limits of the City of Aurora to be used, reused, successively used, and, after use leased, sold or otherwise disposed of before or after initial use to extinction for the following beneficial purposes: Municipal, domestic, agricultural, energy production, manufacturing, mechanical and industrial purposes including, but not limited to, fire protection, irrigation, commercial, recreation, fish and wildlife propagation, reservoir evaporation replacement, creation and maintenance of wetlands, maintenance of storage reserves, stock watering, reclamation, revegetation, dust suppression, water treatment and supply, wastewater treatment, storage for such uses, and use as a supply or substitute supply for augmentation, replacement, exchanges decreed or to be decreed, and substitute supply plans. All uses include reuse and successive reuse to extinction for the above purposes, or disposition of effluent for the above purposes. 8. Remarks: 8.1. Prior to entry of the decree herein, Applicant will supplement this Application with evidence that the State Engineer has issued or failed to issue, within four months of the filing of this Application, a determination as to the facts of this Application. 8.2. The annual withdrawal of the amount of ground water applied for herein, subject to the terms and conditions proposed herein, will not result in material injury to any vested or decreed conditional water right. 8.3.

Each of the future nontributary wells is sought as a point of diversion for all of the nontributary ground water decreed herein from the aquifer into which such well is completed and Applicant claims the right to pump such wells at any rate as may be necessary to withdraw the maximum amount of ground water decreed to be available to the Applicant from each such aquifer. Each of the future not nontributary wells is sought as a point of diversion for all of the not nontributary ground water decreed herein from the aquifer into which such well is completed and Applicant claims the right to pump such wells at any rate as may be necessary to withdraw the maximum amount of ground water decreed to be available to the Applicant from each such aquifer. 8.4. Applicant may need to construct additional wells, including supplemental, replacement or alternate point of diversion wells, to recover the entire amount of water available to it from each aquifer. Applicant requests the right to construct such additional wells as necessary in order to maintain production of the amounts of water to which it is entitled. 8.5. Applicant requests that all of the wells constructed in one aquifer, plus any additional wells constructed in that same aquifer, shall constitute a “well field” as that term is described in the Statewide Nontributary Ground Water Rules, 2 CCR 402-7, Rule 4.A.13 and Rule 14. The pumping rates for each well shall be allowed to exceed the nominal pumping rates set forth herein to the extent necessary to withdraw the maximum acre-foot entitlement from each aquifer. 8.6. Applicant requests the right to withdraw from any combination of wells completed in the same aquifer, including additional wells, an amount of ground water in excess of the amount decreed for average annual withdrawal from that aquifer, so long as the sum of the total volume of water withdrawn from said wells does not exceed the product of the number of years since the date of issuance of the original well permits or the date of entry of a decree herein, whichever occurs first, times the average annual amount of withdrawal which Applicant is entitled to withdraw from that aquifer.

8.7. Applicant requests this Court to order that the standards of C.R.S. § 37-90-137(4) be applied to any permits for additional wells as if the applications for those well permits were filed on the dates that the original applications were filed, in accordance with the standards of C.R.S. § 37-90-137(10). 8.8. Applicant requests this Court to order that a failure to construct any well described herein within the period of time specified in any well permit therefor not be deemed to extinguish the underlying right to ground water. Applicant further requests the Court to order that, at such times as Applicant is prepared to drill its wells, the State Engineer shall issue permits for the wells in accordance with the terms of the decree herein and to issue new well permits for any wells which have expired. 8.9. Applicant requests that the Court retain jurisdiction only for adjustment of the amounts of ground water which are available for withdrawal by Applicant from the Denver Basin aquifers underlying the Subject Portion of the City of Aurora based on actual local aquifer characteristics, and to authorize Applicant to invoke the Court’s retained jurisdiction at any time after such data becomes available, without the necessity of amending this Application or republishing the same. 9. WHEREFORE, Applicant prays that this Court enter a decree: 9.1. Granting the Application herein and awarding the water rights claimed herein as final, absolute and perfected water rights, except as to those issues for which jurisdiction of the Court has been specifically retained. 9.2. Specifically determining: 9.2.1. That this Court has jurisdiction to determine the water rights requested herein pursuant to C.R.S. § 37-90-137(6); 9.2.2. That Applicant has complied with C.R.S. § 37-90-137(4) and the water is legally available for withdrawal by the wells proposed herein, but that jurisdiction will be retained with respect to the annual amounts of withdrawal and to provide for adjustment of such amounts to conform to actual local aquifer characteristics from adequate information obtained from wells or test holes drilled within the Subject Portion of the City of Aurora, pursuant to C.R.S. § 37-92-305(11); 9.2.3. That the sources of supply for the water rights claimed herein are the nontributary and not nontributary ground waters in all of the Denver Basin aquifers underlying the Subject Portion of the City of Aurora and that such aquifers may include, where physically present, the Upper Dawson, Lower Dawson,

tained with respect to the annual amounts of withdrawal and to provide for adjustment of such amounts to conform to actual local aquifer characteristics from adequate information obtained from wells or test holes drilled within the Subject Portion of the City of Aurora, pursuant to C.R.S. § 37-92-305(11); 9.2.3. That the sources of supply for the water rights claimed herein are the nontributary and not nontributary ground waters in all of the Denver Basin aquifers underlying the Subject Portion of the City of Aurora and that such aquifers may include, where physically present, the Upper Dawson, Lower Dawson, Denver, Upper Arapahoe, Lower Arapahoe and Laramie-Fox Hills Aquifers underlying the Subject Portion of the City of Aurora; and 9.2.4. That vested or conditionally decreed water rights of others will not be materially injured by the withdrawals proposed herein. 9.3. Retaining jurisdiction only for the purpose of finally determining the quantity of ground water to which the Applicant is legally entitled from each aquifer and providing that Applicant may at any time invoke the Court’s retained jurisdiction to obtain a final determination of the water rights granted by a factual showing of the quantity of the entitlement. 9.4. Finding that: 9.4.1. The nature and extent of the water rights applied for herein are governed by C.R.S. §§ 37-90-137, and that the decreed withdrawals are based on an aquifer life of 100 years and based upon the quantity of water, exclusive of artificial recharge, underlying the Subject Portion of the City of Aurora; 9.4.2.

Applicant may construct additional wells as required to recover the entire allowed annual appropriation under the provisions of C.R.S. § 3790-137(10); 9.4.3. Any wells constructed into the same aquifer, along with any additional wells into such aquifer within the Subject Portion of the City of Aurora as described in Paragraph 3.3. shall constitute a “well field” as that term is described in the Statewide Nontributary Ground Water Rules, 2 CCR 402-7, Rule 4.A.13 and Rule 14, and as such, Applicant may withdraw the maximum annual amount of water decreed and confirmed under this Application through any one or any combination of wells in the same aquifer, and that the pumping rate for each well constructed in the same aquifer may exceed its nominal pumping rate in order to allow the withdrawal of the full cumulative amount from each aquifer; and 9.4.4. For each aquifer, Applicant may withdraw water through wells in the same aquifer plus any additional wells in the same aquifer, an amount of ground water in excess of the total allowed average annual amount of withdrawal as long as the total volume of water withdrawn through the wells in each aquifer does not exceed the product of the number of years since the date of issuance of the well permit or permits or entry of a decree herein, whichever occurs first, times the total allowed average annual amount of withdrawal for each aquifer. 9.5.

Declaring that no findings of reasonable diligence are required to maintain the quantification of water applied for herein and that Applicant may proceed to develop and use the quantification of water applied for herein at such times as the Applicant deems appropriate for the nontributary ground waters, and at such time as the Applicant obtains a court approved plan for augmentation for the not nontributary ground waters. 10. FURTHER, the Applicant prays that this Court grant such other relief as it deems appropriate. (Application and attachments are 249 pages).

APPLICATION FOR DETERMINATION OF UNDERGROUND WATER RIGHTS FROM NONTRIBUTARY AND NOT-NONTRIBUTARY SOURCES IN ARAPAHOE COUNTY SOUTH OF QUINCY. 2. Introduction: Through this Application, Applicant seeks to appropriate, perfect, and obtain vested rights for any and all nontributary and not nontributary ground water legally available to Applicant underlying specified parcels within portions the City of Aurora located in Arapahoe County South of Quincy Avenue that are described in Paragraph 3.4. and have not been previously permitted or decreed. This Court has jurisdiction to determine the water rights requested herein pursuant to C.R.S. § 37-90-137(6). 3.

Legal Descriptions of Wells and Parcels: 3.1.

Existing Wells Excluded: The Applicant seeks herein determination of its right to perfect its ownership, appropriate, obtain and withdraw only all heretofore unappropriated nontributary and not nontributary ground water which is legally available to it from the Dawson, Denver, Arapahoe, and Laramie-Fox Hills Aquifers, and any upper and lower designations thereof, underlying specified parcels within portions of the City of Aurora located in Arapahoe County South of Quincy Avenue that are described in Paragraph 3.4. Therefore, any and all existing wells owned and/or operated by the Applicant that withdraw nontributary or not nontributary groundwater from said aquifers, whether or not permitted or decreed, are specifically excluded from determination under this Application. 3.2.

Permits for Future Wells: The wells that will withdraw nontributary and/or not nontributary ground water pursuant to this adjudication do not currently exist, and the Applicant has not applied for permits to drill any of the wells. Consequently, none of the wells have well permits, registrations, or denial numbers. Prior to constructing any well described herein, Applicant will apply to the Division of Water Resources (the “State Engineer”) for a permit to construct any such well. The Applicant requests that the Court require the State Engineer to issue well permits for any such wells in accordance with the decree to be entered herein. Applicant requests a determination that a failure to construct any of its wells within the period of time specified in the well permit not be deemed to extinguish the underlying water rights. The Applicant also requests a determination that at such time as it is prepared to drill its wells, the State Engineer shall issue new well permits to replace any well permits that have expired and that said well permits be issued in accordance with the terms of the decree herein. 3.3. Location of Future Wells: Applicant seeks the right to locate the future wells at any suitable location within those parts of Arapahoe County South of Quincy Avenue annexed to the City of Aurora during and since 2000 (the “Subject Portion of the City of Aurora”) as more fully described in the following Paragraph 3.4., so long as the wells are at least 600 feet away from any other existing well in the same aquifer owned by another person or entity; however, the future wells may be located closer than 600 feet from any other existing wells in the same aquifer owned by another person or entity if, pursuant to C.R.S. § 37-90-137(2)(b)(II), the State Engineer, after hearing, finds circumstances warrant issuance of a permit and issues a permit for the wells. Applicant waives the 600-foot spacing requirement of C.R.S. § 37-90-137(2) within the Subject Portion of the City of Aurora and elsewhere within the City of Aurora. The Subject Portion of the City of Aurora consists of approximately 955 acres located in the parcels described in Paragraph 3.4. within Arapahoe County South of Quincy Avenue, Colorado , and more specifically set forth in Exhibit A. Not all of the parcels are contiguous with one another; however, all are contiguous with portions of the City of Aurora wherein Aurora has previously adjudicated nontributary and not nontributary ground water from the identified aquifers. A map showing those parts of Arapahoe County South of Quincy Avenue annexed to the City of Aurora that are the subject of this Application and their relation and contiguity to the current City boundaries is attached hereto as Exhibit B. 3.4. Subject Portion of the City of Aurora Descriptions: 3.4.1.

Parcel 1 – Approximately 50 acres, generally in §7-T5S-R65W, 6th PM. 3.4.2. Parcel 2 – Approximately 373 acres, generally in §34-T5SR65W, 6th PM. 3.4.3. Parcel 3 – Approximately 34 acres, generally in §31-T5S-R65W, 6th PM. 3.4.4. Parcel 4 – Approximately 269 acres, generally in §31 & §32-T5S-R65W, 6th PM. 3.4.5.

Parcel 5 – Approximately 40 acres, generally in §31-T5S-R65W, 6th PM. 3.4.6. Parcel 6 – Approximately 33 acres, generally in §31-T5SR65W, 6th PM. 3.4.7. Parcel 7 – Approximately 136 acres, generally in §8 & §17-T5S-R65W, 6th PM. 3.4.8. Parcel 8 – Approximately 15 acres, generally in §31-T5S-R65W, 6th PM. 3.4.9. Parcel 9 – Approximately 5 acres, generally in §31-T5S-R65W, 6th PM. 3.5. Parcel Ownership: The owners of lands within the Subject Portion of the City of Aurora specifically consented to withdrawal of ground water underlying their land by the Applicant pursuant to various Annexation Agreements and other documents or in other cases have conveyed the ground water to Aurora. Evidence of the Annexation Agreements and other consent documents required pursuant to Rule 3 of the Uniform Local Rules for All State Water Court Divisions and applicable deeds showing Aurora’s ownership of certain ground waters are part of the attached Exhibit C. As stated Aurora has obtained the consent of each overlying landowner to withdraw the groundwater by deed, or other written evidence and at the time of this Application the overlying land is within Aurora’s water service area. 4. Claims for Water Rights: The Applicant seeks herein determination of its right to perfect its ownership, appropriate, obtain and withdraw only all heretofore unappropriated nontributary and not nontributary ground water which is legally available to it from the Dawson, Denver, Arapahoe, and Laramie-Fox Hills Aquifers, and any upper and lower designations thereof, underlying the Subject Portion of the City of Aurora. Such aquifers may include where physically present the Upper Dawson, Lower Dawson, Denver, Upper Arapahoe, Lower Arapahoe and Laramie-Fox Hills Aquifers underlying the Sub-

area. 4. Claims for Water Rights: The Applicant seeks herein determination of its right to perfect its ownership, appropriate, obtain and withdraw only all heretofore unappropriated nontributary and not nontributary ground water which is legally available to it from the Dawson, Denver, Arapahoe, and Laramie-Fox Hills Aquifers, and any upper and lower designations thereof, underlying the Subject Portion of the City of Aurora. Such aquifers may include where physically present the Upper Dawson, Lower Dawson, Denver, Upper Arapahoe, Lower Arapahoe and Laramie-Fox Hills Aquifers underlying the Subject Portion of the City of Aurora. The actual aquifers will be those determined to be available pursuant to the Denver Basin Rules (2 CCR 402-6) underlying the Subject Portion of the City of Aurora. 5. Production Rate Claimed: The Applicant seeks herein determination of its right to perfect its ownership, appropriate, obtain and withdraw only all heretofore unappropriated nontributary and not nontributary ground water which is legally available to it all of the Denver Basin aquifers underlying the Subject Portion of the City of Aurora over the 100-year life of the aquifers as set forth in C.R.S. § 37-90137(4) and to withdraw said amounts at whatever rate is required in order to do so and when the water is needed during the course of any year. Applicant requests the right to pump its wells at rates in excess of any nominal production rate to the extent necessary to withdraw the total number of acre feet which Applicant is entitled to withdraw from the aquifers each year including any banked water as described below in Paragraph 8.6. 6. Date of Appropriation, How Appropriation Was Initiated, and Date Water Was Applied to Beneficial Use: Applicant contends that the prior-appropriation doctrine does not apply to the ground water rights to be determined herein. Applicant requests the Court to determine notwithstanding the ground water involved herein has not been diverted and applied to beneficial use, the Applicant’s rights thereto are vested property rights and not conditional water rights subject to the requirements of findings of reasonable diligence. If it is determined that some or all of the ground water subject hereto is subject to the appropriation doctrine and/or must be decreed as conditional water rights, for the ground water underlying the Subject Portion of the City of Aurora, Applicant claims an appropriation date of December 18, 2018. 7. Proposed Use of Water: Applicant intends to use all available ground water withdrawn from any and all of the Denver Basin aquifers underlying the Subject Portion of the City of Aurora in a unified water supply system either inside or outside the current or future corporate limits of the City of Aurora to be used, reused, successively used, and, after use leased, sold or otherwise disposed of before and after initial use to extinction for the following beneficial purposes: Municipal, domestic, agricultural, energy production, manufacturing, mechanical and industrial purposes including, but not limited to, fire protection, irrigation, commercial, recreation, fish and wildlife propagation, reservoir evaporation replacement, creation and maintenance of wetlands, maintenance of storage reserves, stock watering, reclamation, revegetation, dust suppression, water treatment and supply, wastewater treatment, storage for such uses, and use as a supply or substitute supply for augmentation, replacement, exchanges decreed or to be decreed, and substitute supply plans. All uses include reuse and successive reuse to extinction for the above purposes, or disposition of effluent for the above purposes. 8.

Remarks: 8.1. Prior to entry of the decree herein, Applicant will supplement this Application with evidence that the State Engineer has issued or failed to issue, within four months of the filing of this Application, a determination as to the facts of this Application. 8.2. The annual withdrawal of the amount of ground water applied for herein, subject to the terms and conditions proposed herein, will not result in material injury to any vested or decreed conditional water right. 8.3. Each of the future nontributary wells is sought as a point of diversion for all of the nontributary ground water decreed herein from the aquifer into which such well is completed and Applicant claims the right to pump such wells at any rate as may be necessary to withdraw the maximum amount of ground water decreed to be available to the Applicant from each such aquifer. Each of the future not nontributary wells is sought as a point of diversion for all of the not nontributary ground water decreed herein from the aquifer into which such well is completed and Applicant claims the right to pump such wells at any rate as may be necessary to withdraw the maximum amount of ground water decreed to be available to the Applicant from each such aquifer. 8.4. Applicant may need to construct additional wells, including supplemental, replacement or alternate point of diversion wells, to recover the entire amount of water available to it from each aquifer. Applicant requests the right to construct such additional wells as necessary in order to maintain production of the amounts of water to which it is entitled. 8.5. Applicant requests that all of the wells constructed in one aquifer, plus any additional wells constructed in that same aquifer, shall constitute a “well field” as that term is described in the Statewide Nontributary Ground Water Rules, 2 CCR 402-7, Rule 4.A.13 and Rule 14.

The pumping rates for each well shall be allowed to exceed the nominal pumping rates set forth herein to the extent necessary to withdraw the maximum acre-foot entitlement from each aquifer. 8.6. Applicant requests the right to withdraw from any combination of wells completed in the same aquifer, including additional wells, an amount of ground water in excess of the amount decreed for average annual withdrawal from that aquifer, so long as the sum of the total volume of water withdrawn from said wells does not exceed the product of the number of years since the date of issuance of the original well permits or the date of entry of a decree herein, whichever occurs first, times the average annual amount of withdrawal which Applicant is entitled to withdraw from that aquifer. 8.7. Applicant requests this Court to order that the standards of C.R.S. § 37-90-137(4) be applied to any permits for additional wells as if the applications for those well permits were filed on the dates that the original applications were filed, in accordance with the standards of C.R.S. § 37-90137(10). 8.8. Applicant requests this Court to order that a failure to construct any well described herein within the period of time specified in any well permit therefor not be deemed to extinguish the underlying right to ground water.

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

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

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

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

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

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

ECCV operates an augmentation plan decreed in Case No. 02CW403 (“403 Decree”) for the augmentation of six (6) wells in the ECCV Well Field which is located in the Upper Beebe Draw below Barr Lake and above Milton Lake. Subsequently, in Case Nos. 02CW404 and 03CW442 (“404/442 Decree”), the Water Court approved adding six (6) wells to the plan for augmentation approved in the 403 Decree. As a result, the ECCV Well Field was comprised of twelve (12) wells augmented under the 403 Decree, as supplemented by the 404/442 Decree. Pursuant to paragraph 20 of the 403 Decree, the ECCV Augmentation Plan and the 403 Decree were amended by ECCV and Arapahoe County Water and Wastewater Authority (“ACWWA”) in Case No. 10CW306 (“306 Decree”) to include the five (5) new wells which comprise the “ACWWA/ECCV Well Field.” The ACWWA/ECCV Well Field now consists of seventeen (17) wells. The 306 Decree also established volumetric limits on pumping from the ACWWA/ECCV Well Field. ECCV’s pumping was limited to an average of 6,701 acre-feet per year on a 10year rolling average. However, the 306 Decree also provides that ECCV or ACWWA can file an application with the Water Court to amend the 306 Decree to increase the amount of pumping and the volumetric pumping limits, provided that ECCV and ACWWA meet the applicable legal and factual requirements. By this Application, ECCV seeks approval to add fourteen (14) new wells to the ACWWA/ECCV Well Field. ECCV also seeks to increase its 6,701 acre-feet per year pumping limit from to allow pumping from the New Wells. 3. Claim to Amend ECCV Beebe Draw Augmentation Plan. 3.1. General Description.
