DeGette discusses opioids, housing, DACA at local meetings

MY NAME IS

LISA CASPER Event host for Tattered Cover and Douglas County Libraries Feeling the energy I host author events for the Tattered Cover. I’ve learned that amazingly talented authors are also just people. They’ve got their own belief systems and quirks, just like you and me. When I started I had them on a pedestal. They were like movie stars to me. They’re people, and listening to how they came to be writers and how they focus on their characters or their subject matter, that’s what’s most interesting.

It’s an energy pattern: you notice if they’re into their books down to the last detail like I imagine J.R.R. Tolkien must have been. You see their passion, and that feeds the audience.

Celebrate reading My other job is at Douglas County Libraries, so reading is obviously huge for me.

I bring authors to the library, too.

This year we had Chris Bohjalian and Brad Meltzer in one week. It was shocking — I don’t normally have two New York Times bestselling authors in one week. I’m so thankful I landed in jobs where I can celebrate reading every day. It’s a dream come true.

U.S. Rep. Diana DeGette took time this week to sit down with Denverarea reporters and the Englewood City Council to talk about the opioid crisis, movements on DACA policy for undocumented immigrants, housing and homelessness. She represents Denver, Englewood, Sheridan, Cherry Hills Village, Bow Mar and unincorporated areas west of Littleton.

DeGette Here’s what the 1st Congressional District representative had to say at her Denver office to reporters May 3 and at the Englewood Civic Center May 4.

Help from above States need money from the federal government to solve the crisis of opioid-substance abuse, DeGette said.

She’s worked recently on putting more than 50 bills dealing with different aspects of the opioid epidemic through committee in Congress. DeGette serves on the Committee on Energy and Commerce.

“We shouldn’t be doing 56 bills for opioids,” said DeGette, who said her committee has discussed medical treatments for addiction and community health responses. “Let’s put it all into one big bill. We should do it like the Ryan White bill for AIDS (of 1990). This is a public health crisis.”

The country needs a comprehensive opioid-prevention approach, similar to the approach it took to AIDS decades ago, DeGette said. States should get money to take preventative measures, she added.

One question at the reporters’ roundtable brought up fentanyl and overdoses in Pueblo.

“Pueblo is an issue, the San Luis Valley is an issue and Denver is an issue,” DeGette said. “It’s not just concentrated in the urban core.”

Pushing to transition from DACA After the Trump administration announced the end of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program in September, undocumented immigrants who arrived in the country as children had until March 5 before the group’s legal status would largely begin to expire.

Since then, though, federal courts have temporarily blocked the Trump administration’s end to the program, allowing it to continue while the legal battle in courts plays out.

“I’ve been working for quite some time before (President Donald Trump) got elected to try to pass comprehensive immigration reform,” DeGette said.

His attempt to end the program made that more urgent, she said.

A path to citizenship for Dreamers, a possible way for other undocumented immigrants to apply for citizenship and “go to the back of the line,” and border security — but no wall along the Mexican border — is what reform should include, DeGette said.

“There’s not much enthusiasm in

Congress for the wall,” DeGette said.

DACA started under President Barack Obama in 2012 when the federal government decided to change how it enforces immigration law. The term “Dreamers” has been applied to young undocumented immigrants at least in part because of the title of the Development, Relief and Education for Alien Minors (DREAM) Act, first introduced in 2001 but never passed by both houses of Congress.

Roughly 689,800 people with active DACA status lived in the country recently, with about 15,500 residing in Colorado.

Struggling to stay housed A proposal by federal Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson that could triple the minimum rent the poorest Americans pay for federally subsidized housing found criticism from DeGette.

“Carson announced they were going to triple the rent people would have to pay before they get Section 8 vouchers, which, in a market like this, it’s a disaster for low-income people,” DeGette said. “We’re hoping that doesn’t make it through (Congress).”

The move risks exacerbating homelessness, an ongoing problem for DeGette’s area, especially in Denver. It is also a growing problem in Englewood.

A recent federal-spending bill increased HUD funding compared with last year, DeGette said, but Carson’s effort would exclude large amounts of people from getting assistance.

“Especially in Colorado, where housing prices are going up,” DeGette said.

Englewood City Council is planning to look into its city’s homelessness in an upcoming study-session meeting.

Businesses are upset by problems they say homeless individuals have brought, Councilmember Linda Olson said.

“We have never had any resources focused on this at all,” Olson said, asking if the state or county could help.

DeGette suggested a survey or study in addition to the point-in-time counts of homeless individuals in the metro area that occur on one day per year. The opioid crisis has affected homelessness, DeGette said.

Some say homeless arrive in Englewood on Denver buses, but some grew up in Englewood schools and are local, Olson said.

“If it’s an easy thing to solve, we would have solved it,” DeGette said, adding that the city should identify if the homeless have substance-use disorders, are families who can’t afford housing or fall into other categories.

“First, you have to figure out what the problem is.”

City officials have noticed an uptick in the city’s population in the last few years.

In Englewood, a city preparing for a large financial gap, Olson said officials don’t have the money to adequately take on the problem.

The city needs help from Arapahoe County and the state, she said. “We need a regional approach.”

School principal, developer and nonprofit leader ‘soar’ Area chamber honors women for making a difference in metro area

BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Diane Smethills is the principal of Sterling Ranch, a $4.4 billion forwardthinking development spanning 3,400 acres west of Highlands Ranch.

Tamra Ryan is the CEO of Women’s Bean Project, a nonprofit organization based in Denver that employs chronically unemployed and impoverished women.

Allyson Mallory, principal of Ralph Moody Elementary School in Littleton, was in a snowboarding accident two years ago that left her paralyzed from the waist down.

These three women have one thing in common: they have made a significant difference in the Denver metro area. On May 3, they were honored by the Highlands Ranch Chamber of Commerce as “Women Who Soar” for making a significant difference in the Denver metro area.

“We are surrounded by amazing female leaders who are making a difference and leading by example,” Brie McMahon, the chamber’s director of membership development, said at a luncheon at Perry’s Steakhouse & Grille at the Park Meadows mall in Lone Tree.

The chamber hosts monthly luncheons at various locations for its members, who are business owners or employees of businesses in south metro Denver.

At a retreat last fall, the chamber program Women in Networking brainstormed the first annual Women Who Soar Awards Luncheon. With more than 100 members and elected officials in attendance, the May 3 event recognized women who have displayed “determination, drive and passion,” McMahon said.

Diane Smethills, principal of Sterling Ranch In 2004, Smethills and her husband, Harold, purchased Sterling Ranch, a master-planned community that sits west of Santa Fe Drive and south of Chatfield Reservoir, just east of the Roxborough community.

After a 20-year buildout, Sterling Ranch is expected to have about 12,000 homes with 33,000 people.

Innovative features set the community apart from others across the state.

Every home in Sterling Ranch will have 1 gigabit of internet bandwidth, meaning residents have the capability to download a high-definition movie in less than three minutes. The “smart” homes will have a virtual touch-screen that controls technology and energy usage.

Sterling Ranch will also have the state’s first rainwater-harvesting project, which stores rainwater in tanks and ponds that can be used to maintain landscaping.

Diane Smethills credits her success to the “grace of God” and being raised

U.S. Rep. Mike Coffman of Aurora presents Diane Smethills, principal of Sterling Ranch, with a “Women Who Soar” award at a ceremony on May 3 at Perry’s Steakhouse & Grille in Lone Tree. The Highlands Ranch Chamber of Commerce hosted the event to recognize three influential women in the Denver metro area.

Tamra Ryan, CEO of Women’s Bean Project, a nonprofit organization based in Denver that provides employment to impoverished women, accepts a “Women Who Soar” award on May 3 at Perry’s Steakhouse & Grille in Lone Tree. The Highlands Ranch Chamber of Commerce hosted the new event. in Colorado.

“I think that makes us different in many ways,” she said at the luncheon, “and stronger in many ways.”

Tamra Ryan, CEO of Women’s Bean Project Colorado Women’s Chamber of Commerce named Ryan one of the 2017 Top 25 Most Powerful Women in Colorado.

Founded in 1989, Women’s Bean Project employs impoverished women, many of whom are convicted felons, recovering addicts and victims of domestic violence. They package and

sell bean soup mixes, baking mixes and other dry food products to more than 1,000 stores across the U.S. and online. They develop skills in personal and employment areas with the hope of continuing on to another employer.

The business provides a safe and accepting work environment for the women, the organization’s website says. They are trained to continue employment.

Ryan says she sees the women blossom.

“By the time they walk through our doors, they are full of possibility,” she said.

Allyson Mallory, principal of Ralph Moody Elementary School Mallory was a principal and teacher in southern California before transitioning to the leader of Ralph Moody Elementary School in Littleton.

On Dec. 23, 2016, she was in a snowboarding accident at Keystone Resort and was airlifted to St. Anthony Hospital. She had broken her back and is paralyzed from the waist down. Three days after her accident, she started what would be seven months of physical therapy.

Mallory has shown a tremendous amount of strength and courage, those who know her say. She returned to work in 2017.

Through her experience, Mallory said she has acquired a sense of acceptance, resiliency and determination.

She hopes to instill those traits in her students.

When asked how she felt about being named a woman who soars, Mallory said: “I am incredibly flattered.”

Construction is largely on schedule at Chatfield State Park, where crews are moving shoreline amenities and infrastructure to higher ground as part of a project to increase the storage capacity of the reservoir, which will see the high-water mark rise by 12 feet.

The Chatfield Storage Reallocation Project is a $130 million effort to add an additional 20,000 acre-feet of water storage capacity to the reservoir, to be used by eight municipal water providers and agricultural organizations across the metro area and northeastern Colorado. Construction, which started last winter, is expected to wrap up in about a year.

Several projects have been completed: Both the north boat ramp and the Massey Draw Day Use Area recently reopened to the public, said Chatfield State Park manager Scott Roush.

“Massey is more of a limited opening because we want to get stuff revegetated, so we have some parts fenced off,” Roush said. “It still allows parking and boat access.”

The balloon launch area, which was scheduled to reopen on May 1, likely won’t open until mid-May because of weather delays in revegetation efforts, Roush said. A length of the west perimeter road stretching from the west park entrance the Kingfisher Day Use Area is slated to reopen around Memorial Day. Ongoing construction on the project will keep both the swim beach near the park’s western entrance and the Plum Creek Nature Center closed all summer. Much of the Plum Creek area will become part of the new flood

plain.

Currently, the only way to access the campground is through the park’s southern entrance along Roxborough Park Road.

Crews are working on environmental mitigation in the Plum Creek Nature Area, Roush said.

“We will have to take out some trees in that area,” Roush said. “But we should be able to save more than we thought. The trees there won’t be inundated for the whole growing season. A lot of them are cottonwoods, and lots of them can handle being flooded.”

Longtime visitors to the park won’t see much difference even once the project is completed, Roush said.

“Everything is being replaced in kind so it’s being put back where it was,” Roush said. “We’re planting trees in all the affected areas, and once those come up it won’t look all that different.”

The project could add new opportunities for boaters, Roush said.

“Paddleboarders, kayakers and canoeists will have new areas to explore at full pool,” Roush said. “It won’t be in the powerboating zone, though.”

Roush said the park will get new facilities and buildings at the swim beach and Massey Draw.

Audubon Society sticks to guns The project doesn’t sit well with the Audubon Society of Greater Denver, which operates a nature center at the park’s south end and heads conservation efforts in the park.

The expansion project is being managed by the Chatfield Reservoir Mitigation Company, an umbrella organization composed of entities including the Centennial Water and Sanitation District, the Town of Castle Rock and the Colorado Water Conservation Board. The reservoir is owned by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, which leases the reservoir and surrounding land to the state park system.

Nary a soul strolled the grounds of The Hudson Gardens & Event Center on the first day of May save a few maintenance crewmembers, who were busily prepping the 30-acre botanic gardens on South Santa Fe Drive and South Vinewood Street for spring to begin in earnest.

“Things are just starting to bloom,” said Lauren Kersey, Hudson’s marketing and communications specialist.

“We don’t have the annual flowers in the ground yet, but the crabapples and redbuds look marvelous. The bees are just going crazy.”

Indeed, at the gardens’ apiary, beehives buzzed with excited swarms making sojourns to feast on blooming trees.

Bees emerge from their hive in search of pollen. Hudson awards beehive space to area beekeepers for free, though the slots are competitive.

Nathan Frank surveyed the sprawling grounds.

“It’s exciting watching it all come together,” Frank said. “Even just seeing the hillsides get mowed makes it feel like spring is really back.”

Coming crowds aside, The Hudson Gardens is an oasis in the city, Kersey said.

“People come from far around to see us,” Kersey said. “I haven’t encountered anything else quite like this place.”

Western mystery authors come together at Tattered Cover Sara Hoklotubbe, Anne Hillerman talk about life, craft of writing

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Two of the threads that weave the fabric of Western American literature were intertwined at the Tattered Cover bookstore on May 3, when novelists Sara Sue Hoklotubbe and Anne Hillerman sat side-by-side to discuss life and the craft of writing.

Hoklotubbe, a Cherokee from Oklahoma, recently published “Betrayal at the Buffalo Ranch,” the fourth installment in her Sadie Walela series of mysteries, about a Cherokee amateur sleuth in northeastern Oklahoma who finds herself drawn into a maze of deception and murder.

“Writing about Cherokees is second nature to me,” Hoklotubbe said. “I want to get good info out about the Cherokee people. There’s so much misinformation and so many misconceptions. I remember one time in Oklahoma a man came up and asked me where he could take his kids to see real Indians, riding horses and living in tipis. I had to explain that the Cherokee never even lived in tipis. We had houses — plantations even. He looked crushed.”

Hillerman, a journalist and novel-

Sara Sue Hoklotubbe, left, reads from her new novel “Betrayal at the Buffalo Ranch,” while fellow novelist Anne Hillerman, author of “Cave of Bones,” looks on. The two western mystery authors appeared together at the Tattered Cover on May 3 to discuss life and the craft of writing.

DAVID GILBERT ist from Santa Fe, recently published “Cave of Bones,” her fourth novel, about a murder mystery set in the vast lava fields of northwestern New Mexico. Some of Hillerman’s characters are inherited from the novels of her father, legendary Western writer Tony Hillerman.

Taking over the characters from his novel made sense, Hillerman said, because after following their adventures for so many years, the characters felt like family.

“People still talked about them like they were alive,” Hillerman said. “I wanted them to survive and keep going.”

Both authors take great inspiration from their settings, they said, places where mystery and enchantment feel palpable.

Hillerman said she’s aware of the intricacies of being a white woman writing about Navajo life, but said her father’s immersion in the culture — he attended an Indian boarding

school, she said — and her friendships and consultations with Navajo people help deepen her perspective.

“Yes, there might be things in my books that a Navajo might say aren’t quite right,” Hillerman said. “But I think you’d find the same thing if you asked 50 people how they celebrate Thanksgiving.”

Hoklotubbe said storytelling was always part of her life, as indigenous families have a lively oral history tradition to pass along the stories of ancestors.

Still, she said she was anxious when she published her first book, especially because it was about the community where she grew up.

“When I put my first book out there, it was like laying my guts on the road for people to run over,” Hoklotubbe said. “Not long after, though, one of the Cherokee elders in my church said everyone in her office either had or wanted a copy. I felt like I must have done something right.”

The authors have a big impact on their readers, and audience members were enraptured.

“I learn more about the Navajo Nation or the Cherokee of Oklahoma from your books than I ever could from a sociologist,” said Margret Korzus, said to the authors from the audience, before becoming briefly too choked up to speak.

“The setting is so special. I can’t tell you how much joy your writing brings to my life.”

Although this sublime work is considered to be Bach’s “magnum opus” or greatest achievement, there is no official record of it being performed in its entirety during the composer’s lifetime. He composed the first two movements in 1733, but it wasn’t until just before his death that Bach expanded it into a complete Mass setting.

Littleton overhauls event permitting process New ordinance said to provide accountability, greater notice of street closures

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Groups seeking to hold events in Littleton will face a more rigorous permitting process after city council passed an ordinance overhauling the approval procedure.

The ordinance is necessary because the city has been relying on an outdated and informal process to approve events, city attorney Steve Kemp told city council on May 1.

“Last year the city had over 150 events between public and private property,” Kemp said. “Sometimes we don’t get adequate notice, and we can’t plan effectively. We get issues about the notification of street closures.”

The informal process meant the city

ran the risk of unfairly passing along the cost of cleanup to taxpayers, Kemp said, and could have left the city open to First Amendment issues if groups felt subjectively denied. The old process also didn’t require affected businesses to be notified of street closures.

The ordinance is a foreseeable outcome of the growth of events around Littleton, City Manager Mark Relph said.

“We are beginning to be concerned about the number and frequency of events,” Relph said. “This is a way for us to help manage that. In the budget process, there’ll be a discussion about sponsored events by the city. We’re not at too much yet, but we’re concerned about that.”

The process allows better opportunities for businesses affected by street closures to object, Kemp said.

Street closures can negatively affect businesses, said Tom Witham, the co-owner of Lido Wine Merchants on Main Street.

“We don’t want to see a street closure on Main — we have enough,” Witham said, adding that parking around his shop is difficult enough

considering various construction projects that block parking spots.

Witham’s wife Tina, the other coowner of Lido, said street fairs that close Main Street on Saturdays do them more harm than good.

“Littleton is a wonderful place,” Tina said. “Downtown is the crown jewel, and brick and mortar is the lifeblood of downtown, and Saturday’s business is the mother’s milk of small business. When you choke off Saturday, you choke off our livelihood.”

Tina said she loves the new ordinance, but asked that the city consider prioritizing street closures for Sundays over Saturdays, as their daily take is much smaller on Sundays.

The ordinance defines events requiring permits as those that are anticipated to draw more than 100 attendees, occur on public property or would likely impede traffic. Political and religious demonstrations are exempted except when they are expected to interfere with traffic or normal city operations.

Applications for block parties must be submitted to the city not less than 20 business days beforehand. Those

involving the sale or service of alcohol must be submitted 45 business days ahead of time, and all others must be submitted 30 business days beforehand.

Numerous city departments may weigh in on the application, including the police, finance, public works and others.

Applicants are required to notify all businesses that will see their access affected by road closures.

Event permits may be denied for a variety of reasons, including if the event is expected to require so much police presence that the rest of the city will be inadequately covered. Permits can also be denied if a proposed event conflicts with another event that has been held for at least five years prior.

The ordinance is not a done deal, Kemp said.

“If we continue to see this kind of growth, I might be back here in a couple years with some amendments,” Kemp said. “I’m not sure if even three or four years ago people would have thought Littleton would have the level of events it does now.”

Amputees make strides toward goals at adaptive clinic School of Mines event helps more than 30 Coloradans

BY SHANNA FORTIER SFORTIER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Traci Miller, 52, has been an abovethe-knee amputee for 31 years. The one thing she hasn’t been able to do since losing her leg to a rare vascular disorder is run.

“Now, I just really want to learn how to run again,” said Miller, a Littleton resident.

“I have four grandchildren and would absolutely love to be able to run with them.”

Regaining those skills is what brought Miller to the sixth annual Colorado Adaptive Mobility Clinic, organized by local prosthetics provider Hanger Clinic.

Miller was one of more than 30 Coloradans with limb loss or limb difference who hit the track May 5 at Colorado School of Mines to practice being mobile.

The clinic was designed to help amputees of all ages become more active and see what’s possible with perseverance, clinical support and prosthetic devices tailored for running and other goals.

“It’s a great way to get them out and about and show them they can be part of the Colorado lifestyle and be active again,” Scott Taylor, of Hanger Clinic, said of the participants.

At the clinic, Miller tried a running blade for the first time.

“It makes an enormous difference,” she said after taking a run up the field.

Gadson Woodard, 11, works on running with a Hanger Clinic coach May 5.

Woodard loves to run and is learning how to improve his skills with high-tech prosthetics at the clinic. PHOTOS BY SHANNA FORTIER “It’s night and day. Before today I’ve only done the hop, skip, jump run. So for me to go foot-to-foot is huge.”

Improving their running techniques was the draw for amputees Jeff Lampe, 32, of Denver, who is training for an Iron Man competition, and Gadson Woodard, 11, of Denver, who loves to run for the freedom it offers.

Testing out high-tech athletic prosthesis is one of the goals of the clinic.

Highlands Ranch resident Ilene Brandon was all smiles after she was fitted to test a running blade.

“I don’t remember how to run,” said the six-year amputee. “I want to remember how to run.”

unique and valuable wildlife habitat.

We want to send the Corps back to the drawing board to consider alternatives to the project.”

The project has been in the works for a long time, said Joe Maxwell, an operations manager with the Corps of Engineers.

“This started long before I got here,” Maxwell said. “The water resource managers proposed this project to the Corps, and we did an environmental impact statement on the project and approved the schedule and project designs. We’re not overseeing this like a typical project, because it’s not our contract and it’s not our money.

We are making sure the mitigation company is doing what they said they would do.”

Audubon, however, is upset about the carving of a “haul road” — a rough road used to move construction materials — slated to be cut near its nature center, said Polly Reetz, the group’s conservation chair.

“I don’t believe there was any mention of this (in the plans),” Reetz said.

“The road will go right through the

Corps and the mitigation company in 2014, alleging the project will irreparably harm wildlife habitat around the reservoir, and that the Corps’ environmental impact analysis of the project was flawed because it failed to consider less-damaging alternatives.

A district court judge ruled in December 2017 in favor of the Corps, saying that Audubon hadn’t provided sufficient evidence that the plans violated the National Environmental Policy Act. Audubon is appealing the ruling, and seeking an injunction to halt construction. Oral arguments in the appeal are expected in the fall.

The group is hoping to stop the project before any trees need to be taken out along the shoreline, said attorney Kevin Lynch, who is representing Audubon.

“That’s the impact that’s most concerning,” Lynch said. “That’s prime,

parking lot of our nature center, then parallel to Wadsworth and curve down toward the South Platte River. As far as we can remember there was nothing like that discussed in the environmental impact statement.”

The proposed haul roads were properly reviewed and approved, said Kris Wahlers, an operations manager with the state park.

“Any new roads have been vetted through the process,” Wahlers said.

“We’ve been diligent about making sure that everything is within scope of project. The plans have been updated since the original drafts — I’m not sure if Audubon saw original plans that have been updated, versus what’s gone through the review process and been approved later. Anything that’s happened has been reviewed and approved by the Corps of Engineers.”

Maxwell said he wasn’t sure about the status of haul roads in the area.

“I haven’t heard,” Maxwell said. “I know there are haul roads, used to move dirt. I don’t know if they were specified in the initial plans. They were just constructed to get from point

A to point B.” More people, more water Environmental mitigation has been high on the mind of project managers, said Tom Browning, the general manager of the Chatfield Reservoir Mitigation Company.

“We are planting approximately 100,000 new trees and shrubs within the park boundaries,” Browning said.

“That will tremendously help out habitat for birds and wildlife.”

The increased storage capacity will allow for occasional flushes of additional water into the South Platte to shore up fish habitats downstream, Browning said.

The big picture, Browning said, is that as Colorado’s population grows, so will our water needs.

“This will help add storage capacity for municipal, industrial and agricultural uses,” Browning said. “This is an important piece of the puzzle for the long term sustainable water supply for the Denver area and even our farmers downstream in northern Colorado.”

5 Questions for Maddie Farr Girl Scout earns Gold Award for project involving music, anxiety in young people

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

&

Armed with a love of music and a determination to help children manage anxiety at a young age, Maddie Farr, a sophomore at Arapahoe High School, worked to install a piece of outdoor musical equipment at an elementary school to give the kids a soothing option at recess.

“I personally have dealt with anxiety my entire life,” said Farr, 16, who said she comes from a musical family and plays the flute, drums, piano and

Maddie Farr, a Girl Scout and recipient of the Gold Award in 2018.

COURTESY PHOTO guitar. “I think it was great as an elementary schooler to have music programs I was engaged in.”

But instruments and music lessons can be expensive, Farr said, and

for children who aren’t exposed to those opportunities, her project at East Elementary School in Littleton aimed to fill that gap. Over the course of more than a year, she carried out a project that resulted in building a “metallophone” at the school, an instrument with tuned metal bars that make sounds when struck. She also provided the school with lesson plans for how to use the instrument and educated her community about the importance of alternate activities at recess for young people with anxiety.

As an elementary schooler, the instrument would have helped her make friends on the playground, Farr said.

She hopes it will provide the same thing for children today.

Farr is one of 40 Colorado Girl Scouts set to receive the Gold Award, the highest achievement in the organization, at awards events in late April and early May.

Here are Farr’s reflections on her project in her own words.

When did you join the Girl Scouts?

I joined the Girl Scouts when I was in third grade, which was seven years ago. So I’ve been in the organization a long time now … I got the Bronze Award when I was 11 or 12, and I knew I wanted to go all the way.

A service project is how you get the award. There’s a whole bunch of requirements — it needs to be sustainable and affect the community around you.

It’s not only about building something … but also kind of about educating people.

What inspired your project?

take the safety of my readers very seriously. Therefore, I’d like to express my deepest condolences in advance to anyone who reads one of my columns while drinking hot coffee, driving, being fitted for a catheter, piloting a plane, or slicing green beans (diagonally), and experiencing an unfortunate incident.

Lawsuits are landing on peripheral laps all the time, and I want to be covered with a disclaimer, to lessen the chances that my bank account will be dwindled upon.

I make here.

I said it might turn me into a benign and innocuous shell of my former self.

“But it’s better to be safe than sorry.”

I am sitting on some blockbuster allegations because I don’t want to wind up in court.

For one thing, I already know what Prince Harry and that Markle girl are going to name their baby. And we haven’t even had the wedding yet.

I can’t wait. How about you? Royal weddings really get to me. There is nothing like a shameless display of wealth set against a meaningless monarchy.

All seriousness aside, the only “Royal Wedding” I care about is the film, and then only for a few minutes, when Fred Astaire is danc-

It’s nearly wedding season.

I never cry at weddings, and do you know why?

I never go to weddings in the first place.

If you’re out of tune, look at changing the soundtrack

S LETTER TO THE EDITOR In praise of tax deduction National Small Business Week was April 30May 4. It represented an opportunity to celebrate small businesses that have succeeded in today’s competitive and fast-changing economy. It was also a chance to recognize the integral role small businesses play in our communities and economies. Small businesses not only create about twothirds of all new state jobs, employing a million Coloradans, but they also create products and services that improve our standards of living.

Entrepreneurship is more than just a way to make a living. It’s also an opportunity to live life on your own terms and to achieve the American Dream. This is why I’m excited about many aspects of the new federal tax code, which delivers the biggest small business tax cut in the nation’s history. This will allow more small businesses to

succeed.

The tax cuts passed late last year by Congressional Republicans offer a new 20 percent tax deduction for small businesses, including sole-proprietorships. This allows these entrepreneurs to protect 20 percent of their revenues from the IRS and use the funds to invest in their businesses to make them more competitive and viable. For my small company, that is a big deal.

I’ve seen many small businesses just barely fail financially in my career. Often, they are just one investment or one product upgrade away from succeeding — a few thousand dollars short. This tax deduction will save these marginal small business, and save their owners’ dreams in the process.

o, the other day I was listening to one of my favorite radio stations as I was driving to an early appointment. Loaded up with some coffee and great music I was on my way to a great start to the day. I was actually feeling like they were playing all of my favorite songs, it was awesome. And then they played a song, one of WINNING those songs that just gets stuck in your head all day long.

WORDS Have you ever been there?

Maybe it happened to you today while you were getting ready for work or driving to the office, or just hanging around the house. You know the songs, right?

Sometimes it is one of our favorite songs and then other times, it’s a silly song or tune, Michael Norton or even just the chorus to a song and it gets planted in our brain. And sometimes it is a person who we run into and they are singing it and we just can’t erase it from our ears.

The only way we can stop it is by changing the soundtrack that is playing in our head. And life can be the same way too, can’t it?

There are days, weeks, months or longer where we get stuck listening to our own talk track in our heads. Now when it’s a good and

positive talk track, something that we play over and over again as we focus in on the pursuit of our goals and dreams. There is so much evidence around the power of positive self-talk or listening to positive and motivational material or reading books, blogs and articles that give us great advice and powerful direction, that I highly encourage you to give it a shot if you haven’t tried it yet.

The other side of that and the problem is that sometimes we get so caught up in our own negative self-talk, that we get focused on all of the things that are going wrong in our lives. That soundtrack keeps playing and unless we change the soundtrack, that will completely derail us from where we are trying to go. And what’s worse is when someone else is singing that negative tune for us, whispering words of discouragement into our ears, and sharing thoughts of their own failures. They try and guard us from their own worries, fears, and doubts.

And now their soundtrack is stuck playing in our head instead of our own positive soundtrack.

What is it you are trying to do?

Where is it you want to be? What are things that you want to have in this life?

The only way to achieve each one is to erase and block the source of the bad and negative information we are allowing to influence the way we see ourselves, how we behave, and our attitude towards life.

Zig Ziglar said it this way, “If you don’t like who you are, where you are, or what you are, you can change who you are, where you are, and what you are by changing what goes into your mind.” This is consistent with the other awesome saying, “You put the good stuff in, you get the good stuff out.”

So how about you? Is there a song stuck in your head? Is it a good one, a great one that has you motivated and excited? Or is there a negative talk track going on and you need to change the soundtrack? Either way I look forward to hearing your story at gotonorton@gmail.com.

Our mother had a favorite chair where she would watch the Rockies play with the newspaper box scores in her hand.

borrowed — that I carried in my wedding.

I will keep it now.

Some of our mother’s jewelry will find its way to the girls of the family — me, my sister, my sister’s daughter. Most will reside in a velvetlined box on my sister’s closet shelf, where our grandmother’s jewelry has also lived for more than 30 years.

Our mother’s table linens reflect some 60 years of her style.

Art deco patterns, bright florals, tassels and fringe. Cocktail napkins starched and crisply pressed into a square the size of my palm.

Her collection of tableware tells the stories of the people she entertained. Now I become the owner of some of these things and I wonder, what shall I do?

I no longer own a dining table. What shall I do with this soft pink linen cloth that matches the gentle willow pattern of her China?

May 10, 2018M What will I do with dozens of her glass tea sets, cups so small one can barely hook a finger through the handles, footed cups that sit snugly into a corner of an elegant glass tray made to hold little more than a cucumber sandwich?

I don’t remember her serving cucumber sandwiches, though. I do recall precise triangles filled with egg salad, crusts neatly removed, a perfect slice of pimento tooth-picked on top.

Here are two pieces of metal art. In photographs of me as a baby, they are hanging on her walls, mute sentinels. Now they will hang on my walls, again my guardians.

I know nothing about box scores, but I will avidly watch the Broncos, the Avalanche, and — sometimes — the Rockies from her favorite blue chair.

Here are her lamps, from the 50s and the 60s, curving brushed metals, octagonal insets, stiff pristine shades.

I will keep one of these lamps, and after the cord burns out and sparks across the floor, I will drive around with it in the back of my car because I will not be able to part with it.

My sister will take it over and have the lamp

lovingly repaired.

I will keep, in a wooden glassed-in box, the flag pulled taut and ceremoniously folded during her funeral at Fort Logan National Cemetery.

One officer presented it to us with thanks from a grateful nation.

Another played “Taps.” We didn’t stay for the inurnment in the plot where my father’s ashes lay, also honoring his own service in World War II. Later, at her memorial service, standing room only. Her children and their children. Playmates and workmates and spouses, or not, of her loved ones. Friends of their friends. Ladies who sewed together. Compatriots of her own age who had also served in Europe or the Pacific.

When it seemed there was no more to say, one of these soldiers — from the back of the room and in his uniform from the second World War — one of these snapped his fingers to his cap, called out: “Rosemary! One last salute.”

This, too, I will keep.

Festival will be one for the books

The new Red Rocks Beer Garden in Morrison features 12 Colorado beers.

Breweries bring A-game to

summer season

Options abound for fans of beers and spirits alike

F

or many in Colorado, summer often means cold drinks in the outdoors.

With more than 300 breweries in throughout the state — to say nothing of distilleries, cideries and wineries — the state is a smorgasbord of options for those in search of refreshing drinks and even better company.

“I grew up in Montana, so drinking outside, particularly on a river, is one of my favorite things,” said Paul Thompson, owner and founder of Morrison’s new Red Rocks Beer Garden. “There’s just a more social aspect to it, and people love drinking outside.”

Almost every brewery is going to celebrate the season in its own way.

Many are unveiling new or seasonal recipes, while others are hosting special events, including concerts and a brewery bike loop. And some, such as Thompson’s beer garden, see the coming months as the perfect time to launch a new business.

“There are so many breweries out there, we have to find ways to set ourselves apart. And this loop adds

a sense of discovery to the event,” said Dave Bergen, co-owner and brewmaster at Joyride in Edgewater, which launched a new brewery bike loop with WestFax, Hogshead and Seedstock, also in the east Jefferson County area. “It’s always more fun to do these kinds of events with groups of people — and everyone is going to meet cool people along the way.”

(Keep on reading for more on this monthly event.)

People should visit websites and social media pages of their favorite breweries to see what has been scheduled. Here are some of the kinds of activities you to expect: A drink to break the heat There’s a beer or spirit for every season, and when it comes to summer, breweries and other businesses go for drinks that are light, cool and refreshing.

Longmont’s St. Vrain Cidery will soon reveal its Pink Guava cider, which is made by fermenting pink guava and apple juice together to create this tropical refresher.

Lone Tree Brewing has a seasonal Cucumber Wheat that is the perfect pairing for summer months, according to Emily Hutto, with the brewery.

Lone Tree also unveiled the Hoppy Little Trees Project, a fresh yearround rotating IPA series.

These IPAs be available exclusively in Lone Tree’s tasting room and will

“We have a plethora of other hop varieties in the cooler,” explained head brewer Josh West. “This new IPA project will allow us to make some super hoppy IPAs while taking full advantage of our robust inventory, which give us brewers the chance to experiment with new hop combinations.”

Lone Tree also joined with the Trubucha Kombucha company to make drinks that employ tart cherry, blueberry, raspberry, lemon lime ginger and more.

New breweries to visit Morrison is the kind of quaint small town that people love during the summer and its proximity to Red Rocks makes it a particularly popular place from May through September.

Which made the end of April the perfect time for Thompson to open Red Rocks Beer Garden at 116 Stone St. SEE BREWERIES, P17

Growing up, one of my favorite summer activities was finding some shade outside and spending the day with a good book or two.

Somehow, somebody at the Arvada Center must have magically picked up on the fact that it’s still one of the best ways to spend a day and created an event for book lovers like myself.

The first annual Arvada Center Book Fest will be held at the center, 6901 Wadsworth Blvd., from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Saturday, May 19.

“We wanted to highlight the fact that we have programming related to all the arts,” said Leanne Cadman, the center’s COMING associate director of ATTRACTIONS Corporate and Foundation Relations. “We wanted to offer more literary arts and humanities, and this kind of event is really exciting for us.”

Designed as an event for all ages, Book Fest includes hands-on activities Clarke Reader and storytime for kids, panel discussions and staged readings, an all-day exhibit hall, writing workshops, and New York Times best-selling author Laura Moriarty as the special keynote speaker.

General admission allows visitors entry to the all-day exhibit hall with publishers, authors, rare books, games and more. Award-winning authors and poets will read and sign their works. A pop-up bookstore operated by BookBar will feature books available for purchase, and Steuben’s, Newk’s Eatery, La Patisserie Francaise and Hunter Bay Coffee will host an onsite pop-up café and coffee shop. There will also be panel discussions and staged readings throughout the day, as well as a spelling bee, trivia and read-off contests for adults and kids.

For an additional purchase, attendees can enjoy brunch and conversation with local authors, participate in writing workshops and seminars and attend the keynote speech. There will be workshops geared for teens, kids and adults, from the aspiring writer to the seasoned author. Topics include bookmaking, the business of writing, zine-making (mini-pamphlets or -magazines), and sessions on writing poetry, young adult fiction, mystery novels and more.

“We hope to bring in a lot of people who have never visited us before,” Cadman said. “Attendees will be able to meet authors they might not have read otherwise or find a new favorite book.”

The garden features 100 percent Colorado beers, wines and foods, and offers a historic cottage and garden for customers’ drinking pleasures. Brews like Mountain Toad Brewing, Telluride Brewing Company, Dry Dock Brewing Company and Left Hand Brewing Company will all be available.

“We wanted to create a place that is more of a selfserve and self-seat instead of the formal restaurant atmosphere,” Thompson said. “We were inspired by places like Golden City Brewing that my wife and I love so much.”

Concertgoers can get $2 off their first beer by showing their event ticket, and there will be ticket giveaways to Red Rocks shows throughout the season.

The season will see numerous new breweries coming to the metro area, including the Burly Brewing Company in Castle Rock, Colorado Plus Cidery and Pub in Golden and Coal Mine Ave Brewing Company in Littleton.

Clarke’s Concert of the Week — The World Is A Beautiful Place at Larimer Lounge The members of The World Is A Beautiful Place & I Am No Longer Afraid to Die have never been afraid of using their music to give a voice to the marginalized and misunderstood, and their take on alternative rock and emo is the perfect match for these fractious times we live in.

Outside of punk, rock hasn’t really contributed much to the political activism scene in the first half of the decade.

Not only does The World Is A Beautiful Place bring some much-needed righteous indignation to every performance, it also provide some catharsis to concert-goers.

A train ride to Steampunk at the Station The Colorado Railroad Museum takes visitors back to a time when the world was moved by engines pounding down iron rails.

Which makes it the perfect place to take sci-fi fans to the world of steampunk, a genre that blends futurist ideas with technology from the 19th century’s Industrial Age. The genre has grown beyond literature to include music, clothing and art.

The Colorado Railroad

Museum, 17155 W. 44th Ave. in Golden, is hosting the Steampunk at the Station event from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday, May 12.

Fans are encouraged to arrive in their steampunk attire and enjoy a range of events, including a rare “double-header” train pulled by two historic steam locomotives, Denver and Rio Grande, Nos. 346 and 491, buskers, entertainers, beers, food trucks and a lot more.

Kick off the Film on the Rocks season with Star Wars Over the years, Red Rocks Amphitheater’s Film on the Rocks season has become one of the definite highlights of the summer. It’s tough to top some of the best movies in cinematic history on a massive screen, paired with live music or a comedian as an opening act, all for cheaper than most movie tickets.

a local cartographer, with a focus on creating a route that could be safely and casually traveled by cyclists of all skill levels. It begins at WestFax, 6733 W. Colfax Ave., at noon, and the longest portion is the first — a 2.2-mile ride from WestFax to Joyride, 2501 Sheridan Blvd. From there, it goes to Hogshead, 4460 W. 29th Ave., and ends at Seedstock, 3610 W. Colfax Ave. “The tour was partly inspired by brewery bus tours that have popped up,” said Taylor Porter, taproom manager at Seedstock. “We’re all neighbors in this great brewery community, and this gives everyone an opportunity to meet each other and try new places.”

The highest profile events are the concerts at Breckenridge Brewery, a series of three charity concerts hosted in partnership with 97.3 KBCO. The first concert is on May 13 and includes Manchester Orchestra, Preservation Hall Jazz Band and Phillip Phillips. Past performers include Nathaniel Rateliff and the Nightsweats, Leon Bridges, Dispatch and Big Head Todd and The Monsters.

Ticket proceeds benefit 1 Million 4 Anna Foundation, which helps fight the battle to eradicate Ewing Sarcoma, a bone and soft tissue cancer primarily in children and young adults.

The other two entries in the series haven’t been announced yet, but the brewery is also hosting its 28th anniversary Hootenanny on July 7. The event will feature Mike Gordon, Hard Working Americans, Billy Strings and more.

Tickets and more information can be found at www. breckbrew.com.

Plus, you’re at Red Rocks, and that’s hard to beat.

This year’s film season is kicking off with Denver native Rian Johnson’s interstellar blockbuster, “The Last Jedi.”

The latest entry into the Star Wars franchise will be shown at Red Rocks, 18300 W. Alameda Parkway, in Morrison, at 6 p.m. on Tuesday, May 15.

For those who somehow missed the movie when it first came out around the holidays, “The Last Jedi” finds Rey working with Luke Skywalker to develop her Jedi skills, while the rest of the galaxy fights to stop the First Order.

Catch Cirque’s complex Corteo in Broomfield Somehow Cirque Du Soleil’s performances always manage to be thrilling and eerily beautiful, and that’s what its new show, Corteo, promises to audiences.

Corteo, which means “cor-

tege” in Italian, is a joyous, festive parade imagined by a clown. The show blends together the passion of an actor and the grace of an acrobat, and takes audiences to a world of fun, comedy and exploration.

Corteo is coming to the 1st Bank Center, 11450 Broomfield Lane, Broomfield, from Thursday, May 24, through Sunday, May 27.

The show tells the story of the clown Mauro, who recently died, but whose spirit remains. Instead of mourning, the funeral cortege celebrates the here and hereafter with laughter and exuberance. The show will bring laughter to everyone, with tumblers and players performing.

“Bipolar” by Lakewood photographer Steven Caulfield is among his works exhibited in the two-man show at the Littleton Museum, which features winners of the 2017 “Eye of the Camera” show. Caulfied won for color and J.R. Schnelzer of Milliken won black and white and also has work exhibited.

and intensity — certainly true of this exhibit in the freshly painted gallery.

Caulfield’s abstract “Peacock” won him a Best of Show. “I paint with light” he wrote, “and I attempt to make the lights look like they were brushed on. I use movement to create shapes and I often shoot through glass to bend the light, which produces more colors … (`Peacock’ was shot through a vase.) Sharing my photos sometimes reminds me of a Rorschach ink blot test … Each viewer usually sees something different …

Now rotate the image 90 or 120 degrees … Does change the perspective?”

This photographer wrote that he is fairly new to digital photography. He has a BFA in graphic design, worked in computer-aided drafting and then switched careers when his son “suffered a traumatic brain injury in an automobile accident and I helped him rehabilitate. It was very fulfilling so I switched fields. Now, I work at a nonprofit helping individuals with developmental disabilities work at various jobs.” Caulfield said he paints in his Lakewood living room and wishes viewers could rotate his works for differing images. He also wishes no titles were needed, “but that tends to be quite confusing.”

The 2017 exhibit was the 52nd annual edition of this popular show. Early Littleton Fine Arts Board member Gene Kramer thought it would expand on the board’s goal of providing exhibition opportunities for artists, as well as providing local art lovers with an opportunity to not only see, but perhaps buy art. (Caulfield happily reported that five of his images have found buyers.) The Fine Arts Board is appointed by the Littleton City Council. Denise Weed is chair.

C ol

Two strong photographs greet visitors as they enter the gallery at the Littleton Museum. One is Steven Caulfield’s bright, seemingly-in-motion “Peacock” and the other is J.R. Schnelzer’s compelling portrait, “Intense.”

(Who is that man and what’s on his mind?) These were Best of Show winners in color and black-and-white from the 2017 “Eye of the Camera” exhibition at the museum.

The joint exhibit, a reward for being a winner, allows the public to see an expanded view of works by talented artists, showing a wide range of beautifully presented images. They would seem to represent different ways of seeing the world: observant and introspective.

Schnelzer, “an active professional photographer” per his website, said his portrait subject was a person he met in San Francisco, but there’s no story included. The viewer, depending on what he/she brings to the experience, will probably spin off several possible thoughts and storylines!

Schnelzer, who lives in Milliken, Colorado, with his wife, Lisa, also a photographer, is also listed as director of parks for the city of Fort Collins — another profession requiring visual aptitude. This is not the first time he has won an Eye of the Camera award.

Although his award was for Best of Show; Black and White, his new exhibit is almost entirely in color, showing a wide range of interests: travel, including to India; landscapes, near and far; an especially lovely, detailed close-up of a “painted sparrow” and another of a solemn cat; an old homestead on the plains — and the fascinating blackand-white image, “Alice’s World,” that again is full of possible stories. A visit to Schnelzer’s website gallery is rewarding for its breadth of subjects

The two-person show of photographic images will be at the Littleton Museum, 6028 S. Gallup St., Littleton, through May 27. It is open during museum hours: 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Mondays to Fridays; 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Breastfeeding guidance, support offered at Baby Cafe Facility will be first of its kind in Colorado

IF YOU GO WHAT: Baby Café WHERE: Rocky Mountain Children’s Health Foundation, 5394 Marshall St., Suite 400, Arvada WHEN: The grand opening will be 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Friday, May 18. The cafe will be open to new parents 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. every Friday following the opening.

INFO: Baby Café is a safe and cozy place where new and expecting parents can gather to support one another on their breastfeeding journey, while receiving free guidance and tips from a breastfeeding specialist. For more information, call 303869-1888.

BY SHANNA FORTIER SFORTIER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Motherhood can be an isolating experience for new moms. But Mothers’ Milk Bank and the Rocky Mountain Children’s Health Foundation are seeking to change that with the opening of the state’s first Baby Café in Arvada.

Baby Cafés offer free resources for pregnant and breastfeeding mothers, including support from specially trained staff, opportunities to share experiences and make friends, refreshments, comfortable seating and openforum discussions.

Mothers’ Milk Bank Baby Café will offer a space where parents can receive free breastfeeding guidance and support from a lactation specialist.

“Lactation support can often be very expensive, and we want to help all parents meet their breastfeeding goals,” said Abby Malman Case, international board-certified lactation consultant and manager of donor relations at Mothers’ Milk Bank.

Breastfeeding experts say the ideal timeline is one year of breastfeeding, said Samantha Rhodes, certified lactation consultant and donor relations coordinator at Mothers’ Milk Bank.

But each woman has her realistic goal.

The Mother’s Milk Bank Baby Cafe, a program of the Rocky Mountain Children’s Health Foundation, opens to Colorado moms Friday, May 18.

SHANNA FORTIER “Every woman’s experience is very different, even child to child,” Rhodes said. “Some women do, or don’t, have to go back to work at six weeks. So when thinking about goals and timing, that comes into play.

“It’s making sure moms are comfortable with skin-to-skin, but also with pumping.”

The café is modeled after a series of cafés established in the United Kingdom.

Moms and dads can relax with refreshments, share experiences, get tips and techniques, and socialize with others in a child-friendly space. Everything is free including weight checks for babies.

“Women sometimes think they’re feeding, but they aren’t, so weight is important,” Rhodes explained.

Moms can do a pre-feeding and postfeeding weight check to ensure their baby is feeding properly.

“Motherhood can be a very isolating time and Baby Café helps provide a cozy space where families can come meet other families, have a cup of tea and a snack and talk about this season of parenthood,” said Malman Case.

“Parenting is a bunch of highs and lows, and to have people to help you get through that is invaluable.”

An emphasis is put on building relationships, not just with fellow new parents, but also with lactation

specialists.

“It’s about building that trust,” Rhodes said. “If we can build that trust and relationships with those moms, we can hopefully meet their goal.”

In April, UNICEF and the World Health Organization released a report declaring that hospitals should support breastfeeding because it saves lives.

“Many women are not supported to get a good start at breastfeeding and many women stop breastfeeding much earlier than they were planning,” said Dr. Victor M. Aguayo, chief of UNICEF’s nutrition program. “So support is of the essence.”

or young athletes to succeed and advance in any sport, it takes athletic ability, desire and hard work.

Plus, the culture in which young athletes are brought up can have an impact on their chances to participate in a particular OVERTIME sport. Family connections and involvement in the sport gives young hopefuls a head start.

I used to read the sports sections of newspapers daily, cut out box scores and head outside to play games with a hard Jim Benton Gates rubber baseball or hit game-winning shots on my aunt’s driveway that had a basketball hoop.

My biggest problem, however, was the lack of enough athletic skills to be a force in the Denver Prep League.

That wasn’t the case for David Bote or Pierce Johnson, two former Faith Christian baseball players, who have made it to the big leagues.

Both players grew up around baseball.

Bote is now in the Chicago Cubs organization and Johnson is a middle reliever for the San Francisco Giants.

He is the son of longtime baseball mentor Bob Bote who has coached at Niwot, Erie, Faith Christian and Littleton and is now the head coach at Standley Lake.

Bob Bote won four Class 4A titles at Niwot and helped his son Danny guide Faith Christian to the 2011 title.

David Bote tagged along with his dad and brother Danny to Niwot practices and games.

He played for his brother and his dad during Faith Christian’s 2011 title season.

“Without a doubt your background helps,” said Bob Bote. “All my boys were always at the ballpark. They were hitting with the big boys and playing catch with the big boys. You could see the talent level rise.”

Pierce’s father Don Johnson was vice president of marketing for the San Diego Padres from 1992-1998 and it has been said that Pierce found his love for game in San Diego when he wasn’t roller blading down the ramps of Jack Murphy Stadium.

“Giants manager Bruce Bochy was actually the manager of the Padres then and he knew Pierce when he was 5 years old,” said Don Johnson.

BENTON FROM PAGE 26

David Bote, 25, was drafted by the Cubs in 2012 after a banner season at Neosho Community College (Kansas). He spent six years in the minors but finally made his major league debut on April 21 at Coors Field against the team he used to watch while growing up.

He doubled on his first at-bat in the major leagues in the Cubs’ 5-2 loss to the Rockies.

“It was very exciting,” said Bob Bote. “It was like a dream come true. We had no clue he was going to be called up. We didn’t have to go anyplace. We had 32 members of the family watching.”

David Bote, who played on the 2011 Faith Christian state champion team, was optioned to Iowa on April 28.

Johnson, 27, was a 2009 Faith Christian graduate and turned down signing with Tampa Bay to play at Missouri State. He was a first round draft pick of the Cubs in 2012. He made his Major League debut with the Cubs on May 19, 2017 against Milwaukee with a one-inning stint that was actually delayed for nearly two hours because of rain. On Sept. 20, 2017 he was claimed off waivers by Giants and has compiled a 1-1 record with a 2.40 earned run average in 19 innings pitched

this season for San Francisco.

Johnson, like David Bote, is anxious for the chance to play against the Rockies.

“He looks forward to that,” said Don Johnson. “He’s followed the Rockies and Padres for years. It will be a challenge.

The Rockies have such an AllStar lineup.”

Turnover at Golden Golden has hired Lou Vullo as its new head boys basketball coach and named Rex Terry as the head girls basketball mentor as the overhaul of the basketball programs is finished.

John Anderson resigned as Golden’s boys coach in December. Erik Buehler took over as interim coach and led the Demons to a 21-4 record. Tim Hammond stepped down as girls coach, also in December, and Mike Osborne took over to help the 2017-18 team notch a 21-5 record.

Vullo is the former coach at The Pinnacle, where in nine seasons he compiled a 146-64 record.

Terry was the boys basketball coach at Sheridan where his teams were 30-38 in three seasons. He was previously the head girls coach at Alameda.

The Pirates girls scored 27 points and finished sixth in team standings and the boys team scored 26 points and finished seventh in the eight-team meet.

Capitol hosts proclamation to launch Mental Health Month STAFF REPORT

Together with public and private health organizations around the United States, Colorado Lt. Gov. Donna Lynne officially proclaimed May as Mental Health Month at a ceremony May 1 at the Capitol.

“I know I’m preaching to the choir, but that’s OK. We need a choir,” Lynne said in a news release, adding that mental health affects everyone, from those dealing with diagnosed depression or mental illness to people who’ve had a stressful week at home or work.

“Mental health needs to be integrated into all of our lives.”

Other speakers included Andrew Romanoff, president and CEO of Mental Health Colorado, and Jordan Yates, a 19-year-old University of Northern Colorado student. Yates’s recent post “My Depression’s Name Is Sam” received more than 12,000 likes on the website Quora, and was featured on The Mighty, an online publication

focused on empowering people with a variety of medical conditions.

Like Lynne, Yates emphasized that mental health is simply another component of health in general.

“Everyone faces mental health challenges. Our mental health is just another part of our overall health, and it’s time we treated it that way. It’s time we saw mental health as all of our responsibility,” Yates said in the release. “That can’t start until we talk about it.”

Yates is a spokesperson for the Let’s Talk Colorado campaign, a community-based effort encouraging Coloradans to talk to someone they know about their own mental health.

The campaign’s bilingual website, www.LetsTalkCO.org, contains tips on how to reach out to others and talk about mental health, and a toolkit of resources to help individuals and groups address the subject within their family, community group or organization.

Summer CAMP helps teens with mental health struggles Adolescents struggling with mental health issues can spend their summer at CAMP. The Child/Adolescent Mental Health Program is offered Monday to Friday, from 8:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., at Highlands Behavioral Health System, 8565 S. Poplar Way, just south of C-470.

The program lasts from two to four weeks, and teens can start at any time during the summer, from May until August. CAMP is open to ages 11-18.

Topics include feelings identification, mindfulness, learning and practicing coping skills, healthy relationship characteristics, boundaries, coping with bullying, social media, gossip and rumors, anxiety and depression.

An open house to meet the staff, see the outpatient area, ask questions and learn more is May 14, from 8:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Drinks and hors d’oeuvres will be provided so registration is required.Go to www.highlandsbhs.com, under Events.

ted amendment to plan for augmentation. Lowry May 2018 the existing augmentation plan Trust10, operates

for water withdrawn for remediation efforts at the Site under the terms and conditions of the First Amended Decree. A copy of the First Amended Decree is attached as Exhibit A. The First Amended Decree allows Lowry Trust to replace out-of-priority depletions from the withdrawal of contaminated ground water for remediation from two extraction trenches and from additional monitoring and extraction wells with fully consumable water purchased from East Cherry Creek Valley Water and Sanitation District and/or water from nontributary Arapahoe Aquifer well. The First Amended Decree includes an annual combined volumetric limit of 80 acre-feet on withdrawals from all of the structures to be augmented. In the course of the remediation activities, Lowry Trust has discovered that it is necessary to increase the amount of withdrawals from the extraction trenches and monitoring and extraction wells. Therefore, Lowry Trust is requesting an increase in the annual combined volumetric limit to 180 acre-feet on withdrawals from all of the structures to be augmented. Lowry Trust has sufficient augmentation water for these increased withdrawals. Other than the change described above, Lowry Trust is not requesting any other changes to the First Amended Decree. By filing this Application, Lowry Trust does not intend to reopen the First Amended Decree, but only intends to increase the volumetric limit on withdrawals from the structures to be augmented. 7. Names and addresses of owners or reputed owners of the land upon which any new diversion or storage structure, or modification to any existing diversion or storage structure is or will be constructed or upon which water is or will be stored, including any modification to the existing storage pool. All land upon which all structures will be constructed is owned either by the Lowry Trust or by the City and County of Denver, which is a co-trustee in the Lowry Trust and is cooperating with the Lowry Trust. 8. Request for Relief. The Lowry Trust requests that the court enter a decree that determines that the amendments to the First Amended Decree described above will not injuriously affect the owners of any decreed water rights or conditional water rights, approves this application, and amends the seventh sentence of Paragraph 5 of the First Amended Decree to state as follows: The annual combined volumetric limit on withdrawals from all of the structures to be augmented, as identified in paragraphs 2.A., 2.B., and 2.C., above, is limited to 180 acre-feet.
