Littleton welcomes Down Under delegates Locals plan to show off Colorado to pals from Australian sister city

With hearty handshakes and hugs, the American and Australian delegates of the Bega-Littleton Sister City Exchange greeted each other with the warmth of family members on Aug. 9.

Bega Park at the east end of Main Street was the setting for the reunion, named for the Australian city that has served as Littleton’s sister Down Under since 1961. The American and Australian flags flapped overhead while the Littleton Community Band played both “The Star-Spangled Banner” and “Advance Australia Fair.”

“It’s like coming home,” said Barb Westmacott of Bega, who with her husband, Bob, has hosted Littletonians on their visits to Australia, and traveled with the delegation to America during every visit since 2001.

The 22 Australian delegates will stay with host families during their 10 days in America, with members of the Bega-Littleton Sister City Exchange taking them on a whirlwind tour of Colorado scenes, from a rodeo in the mountains, to the Broncos’ stadium to

a barn dance in Sedalia. The visit will culminate in the Grand Parade at the tail end of Western Welcome Week on Aug. 18.

“The first order of business is just catching up with old friends,” Westmacott said.

The visit bears extra significance to Bruce Annabel, whose father Curly Annabel helped initiate the relationship between the two cities. The elder Annabel, a newspaper editor, became smitten with Littleton in the 1950s after seeing a film about Houstoun Waring, the Littleton Independent’s legendary publisher.

The younger Annabel, who has visited Littleton “a dozen times, and three with the delegation,” will serve as one of two parade marshals, the other being Dick Lautenbach, a lifelong Littletonian tapped by Waring to organize the official sister city relationship.

“It’s a great honor” to serve as marshal, Annabel said. “Although it’s more an accolade to my dad and the wonderful legacy he left than it is about me.”

Lautenbach said he’s thrilled to still be participating in the relationship after all these decades.

“We’ll be climbing and hiking together, going out to dinner — it’s really special to have these friendships from the other side of the world,” Lautenbach said.

MY NAME IS

QUINTEN GARDNER

Teenage problem solver The sporting type I’m 13 and I go to Newton Middle School. I play a bunch of sports, like football and basketball, and I get decent grades. Sports are a big part of my life, and my whole family likes to play. I like being competitive and moving around.

I like being 13. When people ask how old I am, I just say I’m a teenager now.

It sounds better than 12. I hope I get to go to a lot of parties in my teenage years. Driving will be sick. I can’t wait.

The good life If I could wave a magic wand, when I’m 18, I’d live in a mansion, have a lot of money and drive nice cars — Lamborghinis, Corvettes, Audis — that’s the good life.

My dad works with computers. My mom’s a teacher at my school. It’s weird because when I ask my friends to hang out, they say, “I don’t know man, your mom’s my teacher,” and they don’t want to come over to my house.

When I see her in the hallway, she always tries to give me hugs, and I say “I’m with my friends, mom!”

My friends were fighting and not talking to each other, and they came to me, and we all sat down and figured out how they could not get on each other’s nerves. I’m a straightforward guy.

Events offer a reel GOOD TIME Western Welcome Week activities designed to include all ages

BY TOM MUNDS TMUNDS@OURCOLORADONEWS.COM

The annual fishing derby, a car show and a long list of activities for kids headlined the events Aug. 11 and 12 that helped kick off 2018’s Western Welcome Week activities in Littleton.

Activities run through Aug. 19.

Events last weekend included the Aug. 11 fishing derby and a variety of games and activities Aug. 12 that included the annual pancake breakfast, and activities for kids, including the Bruce Wolf Stick Horse Rodeo at Arapahoe Community College. Meanwhile, on the streets near the Littleton Elks Lodge, cars dating from the early 1900s those just a few years old were on display at the annual car show.

In keeping with tradition, the banks of Geneva Lake were lined with kids and their adult helpers taking part in the annual fishing derby.

“Some of my son’s friends go fishing with their parents and he wanted to try the sport,” Same Peterson said.

“I’m not a fisherman but I decided we’d try it. It was great the way people around us helped us with my son’s new rod and reel. He hooked a fish that was a few inches long and his smile lit up the area. If he doesn’t catch anything else, the day is a success for us.’

It is a catch-and-release event. The lake is stocked and fish caught are taken to the check-in tent, measures and then returned to the lake.

Maria Escobar accompanied her children to the derby.

“We have come for a couple years and the kids really enjoy it,” the Centennial resident said. “I am glad there are people here to help us because I don’t like fish and I don’t like fishing but I wouldn’t miss being here because the kids enjoy it so much.”

Activities shifted from the lake to ACC and the Littleton Elks Club on Aug. 12.

The school’s cafeteria hosted the annual pancake breakfast. The people at the grills were kept busy as, for Olivia Stuchell, 7, takes a turn tossing hoops at a target during the Aug. 12 games of old activities held at Arapahoe Community College. Sack races, stilt challenges and a number of other games were part of the annual event held during Western Welcome Week.

The fishing derby attracted at least a couple hundred adults and children to the lake for the derby that is held annually as part of wide variety of events held during Welcome Week.

Those waiting for pancakes watched kids of all ages taking part in the games and activities that included the games of old and the stick horse rodeo.

The Aug. 12 schedule included the annual Littleton Elks Custom Car Show. The Elks parking lot and both sides of the streets around the lodge were lined with cars of all sizes and shapes.

Bill Gallagher said he loves cars and always enjoys the Western Welcome Week event.

“I am restoring a ‘32 Ford Roadster and I come to the show because I am looking for ideas for my project,” the Lakewood man said. “There usually are a few rat rods on display and, if there owners are around, I can talk to them about ideas that I can use to help me restore my car.”

Back to school: 5 things to know Visit littletonpublicschools.net/schoolstart-times for more information.

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Summer doesn’t end until Sept. 22 according to the calendar, but it’s over as of Aug. 17 for students in Littleton Public Schools.

Here are five things to know about the 2018-19 school year.

The start times, they are a-changin’ LPS students will start school at different times this fall than in years past, as the district implement new start times designed to more closely align with how students’ brains are wired. High school and middle school students will go in roughly an hour later than in the past, while elementary school students will go in earlier. Previously, Littleton’s high schools started at 7:20 a.m. and were done by 2:20 in the afternoon. Starting this fall, they’ll start at 8:30 a.m. and end at 3:31 p.m.

Destination graduation Thousands of diplomas have changed hands at the Littleton Public Schools stadium at Littleton High School over the years, but beginning with the class of 2019, LPS graduations will take place at the Ritchie Center on the University of Denver campus.

The move follows concerns about severe weather at outdoor graduations, according to a district pamphlet, as well as concern over crowding and inadequate parking at the stadium.

All three high schools will hold their graduations on May 25, 2019.

Incubate good times Junior entrepreneurs can work to make their dreams into reality with Heritage High School’s revamped business development program, called

Incubator EDU. The beefed-up curriculum is reminiscent of the TV show “Shark Tank,” said Heritage principal Stacey Riendeau. Groups of four or five students develop a service- or productbased business model, then work with coaches and mentors from the community to develop a viable business model.

At the end they pitch their brainstorms to real investors, who might pony up.

By the books Sure, Google has largely replaced the reference desk, but libraries are still a vital place for student learning. Heritage High School boasts a remodeled library this year, featuring all manner of modular furniture and fixtures to facilitate student collaboration. With circle couches, moving white boards, and a variety of spaces for small and big group discussions, the library is no longer a place to keep quiet. “Think of it more as an academic planning center

than a library,” said Riendeau. Peabody, East and Centennial elementary schools also have redesigned libraries this year.

Trade ya The job market of tomorrow — heck, the job market of today — demands more non-traditional skills, and Littleton Public Schools is seeking to meet those needs. The district’s Long-Range Planning Committee has recommended improving the district’s trades and tech training, and the district is exploring the creation of a Career and Technical Education Center that would partner with local community colleges to give hands-on training in a variety of fields. Possible fields of study might include automotive, aviation, computer coding, construction, drones and robotics technology, electrical, healthcare, plumbing and welding and fabrication, according to a district pamphlet.

City to ask voters to restore executive sessions Littleton council hopes to roll back law limiting closed-door sessions

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Five years after a citizen initiative restricting city council’s ability to hold closed-door meetings passed by a landslide, council will ask voters in November: How about now?

City council passed an ordinance at the Aug. 7 meeting to ask voters in November to amend the city’s strict executive session law. Only Councilmember Carol Fey voted against the ordinance. Councilmember Jerry Valdes was absent.

The current law, approved by nearly three-quarters of voters in 2013,

limits the reasons council can hold an executive session — a closed-door meeting — to “matters required to be kept confidential by Federal and State laws” or to “confer with an attorney regarding a legal action already filed in a court of law.”

The amendments, if passed by voters, would allow council to hold executive sessions to confer with an attorney on specifically defined topics, or to discuss security arrangements, real estate dealings and personnel matters.

Open door policy The ordinance, introduced by councilmembers Valdes and Patrick Driscoll, was initially brought to council by Mayor Debbie Brinkman.

“I think the omission of the privilege of executive sessions has been detrimental to council on a number of circumstances,” Brinkman said.

Brinkman said that the inability

to hold executive sessions made it tough to recruit a new city manager after Michael Penny was fired in 2016, because applicants were reluctant to have their interviews held in public.

She added that council is also forced to do performance reviews of staff oneon-one with councilmembers.

“That’s no way to handle the public’s business,” Brinkman said.

Littleton’s current law is among the most restrictive in the state, said Jeff Roberts, executive director of the Colorado Freedom of Information Coalition.

“These changes would bring Littleton’s law much closer to what state law mandates,” Roberts said.

The changes would still be more restrictive than state law in some regards: Littleton’s law would require all executive sessions to be taped, whereas state law allows an exemption for attorney meetings. State law also

allows executive sessions to discuss collective bargaining agreements, whereas Littleton’s proposed changes make no mention of such discussions.

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

Allowing council to discuss sensitive topics behind closed doors makes sense, said City Attorney Steve Kemp, adding that currently he may only confer with councilmembers one at a time.

“I can talk to each of you as an individual,” Kemp said, “but you act as a body, not seven individuals… I’m missing the most important component, which is interaction with you as a body.”

High-profile initiatives could be on way to ballot

Fracking, property rights are subjects addressed by petitions now in state hands

ments in the case of proposed constitutional amendments — to be voted on in November.

Secretary of State Wayne Williams’ office will vet each over 30 days to determine if requirements were met.

Initiative 97, sponsored by Boulder-based Colorado Rising, would redraw the energy map in a state that’s become the nation’s No. 5 natural gas producer and No. 7 producer of oil.

It would increase setbacks between new energy operations and homes, schools and “vulnerable areas” that include

BY JAMES ANDERSON ASSOCIATED PRESS

Petitions for an anti-fracking measure and an energy industry-backed property rights initiative topped the list of proposed November ballot questions submitted to Colorado’s secretary of state ahead of an Aug. 6 deadline.

Petitions on transportation and schools funding also were submitted by sponsors who must meet a threshold of nearly 98,500 valid voter signatures — plus geographic require-

parks, creeks and irrigation canals. And it would allow local governments to enact even greater setbacks.

Current setbacks prohibit development on about 18 acres surrounding a given point; the measure would expand that to 450 surrounding acres, according to a state legislative analysis. Another state analysis suggests the antifracking initiative would rule out 85 percent of non-federal land to development and drastically reduce property taxes paid by the $32 billion industry.

Those taxes totaled $470 million in fiscal year 2016-17.

Current law gives the state jurisdiction over setbacks.

It’s the latest attempt to harness drilling along Colorado’s metropolitan Denver area, whose rapid expansion has encroached upon once-isolated oil and gas fields.

Previous efforts have failed, despite advocates’ concerns about health and drilling rigs close to schools.

Colorado Rising said it struggled with its contract signature collectors in recent weeks. One circulator quit in a payment dispute. Volunteers complained of harassment by opponents as

they solicited signatures, and the Boulder County District Attorney’s Office said it is reviewing a handful of complaints.

“I think we did what we could, when we’re going up against most powerful industry in the world,” said Suzanne Spiegel, a lead organizer.

Protect Colorado, one of several industry-funded committees fighting the measure, acknowledged it sent observers to monitor some Colorado Rising petition-gatherers but denied any harassment.

“We’ve asked people to let us know where people are circulating and what they’re SEE INITIATIVES, P11

Education tax measure makes November ballot

STAFF REPORT

money for education made the ballot.

Initiative 93, also known as Great Schools, Thriving Communities or Amendment 73, is the first citizeninitiated ballot measure to make the Nov. 6 general election ballot. It involves a complex formula for raising income taxes among the state’s top earners to raise money for education.

Colorado law requires that ballotmeasure backers turn in 98,492 valid voter signatures — 5 percent of the total of votes cast for all candidates in the

last Secretary of State general election, which was in 2014.

In addition, the voter-approved Amendment 71 in 2016 changed the requirements for proposed constitutional amendments. The education measure must pass with a 55-percent majority rather than a simple majority in November, and supporters were required to collect signatures of 2 percent of registered voters in each of the state’s 35 Senate districts.

Amendment 73 would raise $1.6 bil-

lion a year in additional, sustainable revenue for Colorado’s public schools, bringing them closer to the national average in school funding. Revenue will be deposited in the Quality Public Education Fund, a new, dedicated state education fund that would allocate revenue equitably to every Colorado school district.

Six other initiatives are still under review. The results of the review must be announced by Sept. 5.

Neighbors come together

Gatherings are held at 22 sites around Littleton

for National Night Out I

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

f you thought block parties went the way of poodle skirts and malt shops, you might’ve been one of the few folks not at a National Night Out block party on Aug. 7.

The parties, held around the country the first Tuesday in August, seek to connect neighbors with each other and first responders. Neighbors register with the police to host a party, and can apply for small grants to buy food or decorations.

Littleton police registered 22 National Night Out parties around Littleton this year, up from 19 in 2017, said Sgt. Tim Kampmann, who helps organize Littleton’s parties.

“It’s a chance to meet the people

on your block,” Kampmann said.

“Once you know your neighbors, you can keep a better eye out and be aware when something is awry. You can start to recognize who doesn’t belong.”

More than a hundred people turned out for the party at St. Mary Catholic Church on South Prince Street, including Littleton Police Chief Doug Stephens and Littleton City Council members Karina Elrod and Peggy Cole. Attendees chowed down on sandwiches and watermelon, while kids clambered up and down retired firefighter Ron Bowman’s antique fire truck.

“You never know who’s going to show up to this one,” said Mary Manley, who has helped organize the St. Mary party for years. “More than anything I look forward to the camaraderie it brings out in people.”

National Night Out is a project of the National Association of Town Watch and was first held in 1984.

Primrose School fire believed to be arson

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

CALM AFTER THE STORM

Littleton’s Primrose School should have been full of little kids on Aug. 9.

Instead, behind a police-tape perimeter, crews boarded up windows and erected a fence around the school after a late-night fire damaged the building in the quiet SouthPark neighborhood.

The fire, which investigators believe was arson, broke out in the school about 1:40 a.m. Aug. 9, the Littleton Police Department said in a news release.

Investigators found evidence that the private preschool was forcibly entered.

The school was closed Aug. 9 and was expected to remain closed through at least the following week.

Farima Nemat, who owns the school with her husband Reza, said the extent of the damage was not yet known.

“They haven’t let us in yet,” Nemat said the afternoon after the fire. “The fire department has been investigating all day. Thank god nobody was hurt.”

Nemat was unable to respond to a followup call on Aug. 10.

For the families of the school’s 180 students, the fire is a major disruption, Nemat said.

“Parents have jobs,” Nemat said. “I have two toddlers of my own who attend this school. This kind of turmoil can be very difficult.”

‘There will be consequences’ Public comment on the ordinance was primarily negative. Carol Brzeczek, the local political fixture who introduced and championed the citizens’ initiative that limited executive sessions, said the law has worked well.

“I like to see decisions made publicly,” Brzeczek said. “We had a city manager fired, and it was done tastefully… in the end citizens were not left guessing why.”

Brzeczek said the restrictions allowed greater transparency in the dealings that led to current plans for Littleton to merge its fire service with South Metro Fire Rescue.

“All that goes away if you start closing the doors again,” Brzeczek said.

Other commenters echoed Brzeczek.

“I’ve lived through smoke-filled rooms where they made the decisions,” said local resident Jerry Hill. “I think it works excellent for the people who elected you to keep it in the open. Why not?”

Council might regret seeking changes to such a popular measure, said resident Pam Chadbourne, a regular at council meetings.

“There will be consequences for councilmembers at elections and voters will remember,” Chadbourne said.

Former councilmember Stew Meagher said he saw benefit to restoring executive session privileges.

“I’m not here to threaten you or warn about consequences,” Meagher said.

“This prohibition is anomalous. It ties your hands and works against the

Parents stopped by the school in droves the day after the fire, Nemat said, offering help repairing and cleaning the building.

“The bright side is that we’ve built this community of support,” Nemat said.

Scott Harris, whose young son attends the school, stopped by to visit with the Nemats on his way home from work.

“We’re going to have to figure something out,” Harris said. “My wife and I both work. We’re not sure where our son will go.”

Harris said his family loves Primrose.

“It’s the best there is,” Harris said.

His older son previously attended Primrose. “It’s been great getting to know Farima and Reza. It’s such a family atmosphere.”

Harris said he hadn’t told his kids about the fire.

“They’re too young to process all this,” Harris said.

In a letter sent to parents on Aug. 9, Nemat said she is reaching out to other Primrose schools in the area seeking temporary placement for students.

The investigation is ongoing, police said.

Police have no other unsolved arson cases, said department spokesman Trent Cooper.

Littleton Fire Rescue spokeswoman Jackie Erwin did not immediately respond to a request for comment. interests of citizens.”

Showing your cards Councilmembers were largely supportive of seeking a return of executive session privileges.

“The fire (merger) situation was clearly a reason to have executive sessions,” Patrick Driscoll said. “I’d be curious to see if the opinion of the city has changed.”

The proposed changes are specific and pointed, said Councilmember Kyle Schlachter.

“For negotiations, it’s very ineffective for the city and the citizens to show all your cards right away,” Schlachter said.

Fey was skeptical of the wisdom of the ordinance. “It makes me feel like we’re disrespecting what the voters had to say by putting in front of them that we think they ought to reconsider their decision,” she said.

Brinkman said the city has made great gains in transparency in recent years, with many meetings televised or available online, and a wealth of documents available on the city website.

Brinkman said she’s not worried about how her support of executive sessions will affect councilmembers’ re-election chances.

“I’ll be honest, I’m getting really tired of that,” Brinkman said. “We don’t make decisions because someone threatened not to put us back in this seat. We make decisions because we’re doing the best for this community. If you don’t like it, don’t put us back up here. But taking away our tools and holding them over our heads is not the way the elected body should be treated and the public should be reacting.”

saying,” spokeswoman Karen Crummy said. “Sometimes the information that canvassers who want signatures give out isn’t accurate.”

An industry-backed initiative would expand the rights of property owners to seek government compensation for actions that diminish the “fair market value,” not just the physical value, of their property. Supporters of proposed constitutional amendment known as Initiative 108 turned in more than 200,000 signatures on Friday.

Denver-based attorney Jason Dunn, President Donald Trump’s nominee to be the new U.S. attorney for the District of Colorado, and sponsors drafted the initiative, said Shawn Martini, vice president of advocacy for the Colorado Farm Bureau, the measure’s prime backer.

Martini called it a “good government” measure that lowers the burden for Coloradans seeking compensation from government. He acknowledged that courts would have to determine what “fair market value” is.

“We think that if government takes

Goodson center renovation The parks and recreation district also is looking for the public’s guidance in assessing priorities for the renovation of Goodson Recreation Center. Provide your opinions at www. surveymonkey.com/r/GoodsnMP or complete a paper survey, available through Aug. 24 at Goodson.

property, for example through an expanded setback, there should be the right of compensation,” said Protect Colorado’s Crummy. “This is really intended as a statewide fix to a void in the Constitution.”

Sam Mamet, executive director of the Colorado Municipal League, warned the proposal would unleash litigation over all sorts of claims, including zoning changes, and taxpayers would have to pay for it.

“I don’t know what `fair market value’ means. No one has a definition of it,” Mamet said. “I told our local governments: If this passes, I wouldn’t act. If you do, you’ll get sued. They have deep pockets. We don’t.”

Also submitted: • Initiative 153 would raise state taxes to fund $6 billion in transportation bonds.

• Initiative 167 would issue $3.5 billion in bonds for roads without raising taxes.

• Initiative 93 would raise state taxes by $1.6 billion annually for K-12 schools.

• Initiative 126 would cap payday loan annual percentage rates at 36 percent.

• Initiative 173 would increase contribution limits for state office candidates whose opponents contribute more than $1 million to their own campaigns.

ne of my readers — “Gary” — thanked me for a column I had written about barking dogs that he mailed to a neighbor, after his own words didn’t make a dent.

My column made a dent, and I said “You’re welcome,” but asked him when the column was written — “Maybe I’ve forgotten, and that wouldn’t surprise me, but I don’t recall a recent column about barking and dogs.”

He wrote back and said I wrote it last year.

That was a relief. Then we began a correspondence about

memory loss, which can be amusing to a point.

Then — boom — he informed me that his wife had Alzheimer’s, and he cared for her during the final years of her life, and the net effect of this little column of mine came back and waved at me from a hospital room in Rochester, Michigan.

independent press beholden only to the people of the communities it serves — not to the leaders and politicians who decry it when their actions are reported in a light they disapprove of ?

Thomas Jefferson understood that important truth: “Were it left to me to decide whether we should have a government without newspapers, or newspapers without a government, I should not hesitate a moment to prefer the latter,” he said.

We should be alarmed.

The role of newspapers — and journalism in all its forms — needs the support of communities. It is imperative for the public to understand the harm generated by rhetoric that attempts to undercut the importance of the work we do.

We join our voices today to those of hundreds of other news media publications across the country, in response to The Boston Globe’s call to editorialize about the administration’s concerted campaign against the free press.

He was a proud University of Michigan graduate who took night classes later in his life, and kept sharp and smart, and completed crossword puzzles, even the toughest ones.

My sister and I had Power of Medical, but when the time came, my father reclaimed it and I watched a great and wonderful man become something — some thing — I didn’t recognize.

We can assure you, in the communities we cover in the Denver metro area, that we do not publish “fake news.”

We tell real news — your stories, all sides, without an agenda — every week, from Thornton to Castle Rock, from Golden to Elbert County.

Not too long ago, we received this email from a reader: “A note of thanks to all of you who write/publish the articles and produce the overall weekly newspaper that is delivered to our doorstep each Thursday/Friday . . . I find there is no better resource that gives our community that needed celebration of its members, whether it be individuals, groups or institutions. The writing is always balanced, detailing both our individual and collective challenges, sufferings and successes . . . Thanks again for doing what you do.”

We deeply appreciate knowing our work is valued.

But even when it isn’t, despite challenges, we will continue, with passion and commitment, to report and write the stories that matter, that enlighten us, connect us and help preserve the foundation of this great democracy.

social and political issue to serve as a lightning rod for an argument, as was the case with my team member.

They had overheard a comment that I made regarding my stance on the NFL players who were taking a knee during the national anthem.

They had a completely different opinion than mine, and they were extremely passionate about their belief. Again, that is OK, as long as we can reasonably and peacefully and openly debate or talk about where we stand. We can agree to disagree and still be co-workers, friends, and family, as we know that even within our own families we could have extreme differences of opinion when it comes to certain topics.

We cannot manage what we do not know. So, if there is something bothering you that someone else has said or done, I would encourage you to

go directly to that person, set a good agreement about what you would like to discuss, and agree up-front that it is OK to agree to disagree and still be co-workers, friends, or family.

We must find that balance in agreeing to disagree so that we can minimize the intensity of the divide that is separating us instead of uniting us at work, at home, and in our community.

So how about you? Do you believe that your views and opinions are the only ones that count, or are you open to having a healthy, safe, and open discussion to hear all sides of a topic that is being debated?

As always, I would love to hear your story at gotonorton@gmail. com, and when we can find the balance in agreeing to disagree, it really will be a better than good week.

P

preserved natural mummy of a man who lived between 3,400 and 3,100 BCE. Sixty-one tattoos were found on Ötzi’s body.

In the U.S., tattoos can be connected to mid-18th century Native Americans, states TIME magazine, and became part of Western culture in the mid-19th century when Martin Hildebrandt set up shop in New York and tattooed Civil War soldiers for identification purposes.

Modern tattoos might be attributed to Norman Keith Collins and his Sailor Jerry tattoos during the World War II era, said Bart Leonard, 28, a professional tattoo artist for nearly five years who recently started working at Adroit Tattoo in Golden.

They started to become more mainstream during roughly the 1960s1990s, associated with rock-n-roll and punk, and gained momentum into pop culture in the 2000s, he said. The internet and social media may have helped, Leonard added, but especially reality TV shows such as “Miami Ink,” which aired from 2005-2008.

Being a good tattoo artist used to be a “secretive craft,” in the sense that it was part of a subculture, and tattoo artists held onto their secrets, Leonard said. Nowadays, he said, perhaps because more of the public is excited about getting tattoos, more people are pursuing the trade. “It’s starting to open people’s eyes to the possibilities and all the cool artwork others are doing.”

eople did not have to be present at the Route 91 Harvest country music festival in Las Vegas last October — when 58 attendees were murdered while enjoying a concert — to be affected by the appalling loss of life.

Denver musician Sarah Snead was one of those people who keenly felt the loss of life, despite the fact that she’d become accusCOMING to tragedy.

ATTRACTIONS tomed “I’ve been to more funerals for murder, suicide and overdose than I have been to weddings,” she said. “It’s devastating and a lot of guilt is wrapped up in losing loved ones. After stumClarke Reader bling through life for 33 years, I asked the question, ‘Why did I make it and not them?’”

The result of grappling with this question is “Wake Tomorrow,” the last — and titular — song from her first fully produced album.

She posted a video of the song on Facebook, and it started racking up the views.

“I want to inspire people to reach out. Make those phone calls, send those text messages,” she said.

“Check in on people and ask for help. If you don’t have anything to give, just give of yourself to someone in need. It will save a life, maybe even yours.”

Snead has been a believer in the healing power of music since she wrote her first song at 7 years old.

Raised in a musical family, she was helped along the way by a choir teacher in high school and joined her first cover band in 2008.

Following a chance meeting with The Brian Hornbuckle Band at the Platte River Bar in 2014, she joined the Rick Lewis Project, and has been the lead singer ever since. She also sings with her husband’s group, the Michael Hornbuckle Band.

A mother of three in her 20s, she wasn’t sure music would ever be a viable option.

“A couple years ago, I read stories on Aretha Franklin and Diana Ross and how they were able to handle motherhood and a music career,” she said. “As my kids started to grow and become their own little humans, I realized that I could actually make this happen and be a good mom at the same time.”

lthough Ryan “Cactus Jack” Clement was nervous about his first tattoo, it was nothing as nerve-wracking as jumping out of a plane — which he did in his military training.

That’s when he got a biohazard cross symbol tattooed on his calf.

“I dealt with nuclear biological and chemical weapons” in the military, he said. So “I felt it was something I had to have.”

Today, Clement, 38, has spent 309 hours “under the needle” getting tattoos, which cover about 75 percent of his body. He has been a tattoo artist for nearly 15 years and is owner of Castle Rock Tattoo and Laser Removal Co. Tattoos are a life-changing experience and a way of expressing yourself with adornment, he said, and “they’re becoming more accepted as a work of art.”

Where once tattoos were typically associated with bikers, sailors and outlaws — a rough-and-tough side of life — they have over recent decades become a form of artistic self-expression that is showing up on everyone from the waitstaff in the local neighborhood diner to business executives.

Art shows that began in 1980s continue in south metro area Curtis, Depot galleries hold exhibits in Littleton and Greenwood Village

BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Once upon a time, 35 years ago, two longrunning south area galleries decided to hold juried exhibits open to all Colorado artists — and issued a call to artists to enter what each called the “All Colorado Art Show.”

In 2018, both exhibits continue and are both very much worthy of a visit and attention from art lovers and art makers! One is at the Littleton Fine Arts Guild’s Depot Art Gallery, 2069 W. Powers Ave. in downtown Littleton, and the other is at Curtis Center for the Arts, 2349 East Orchard Road, Greenwood Village.

I have wondered about confusion in the arts community over the duplication of names, but each year there are many more entries to both than can fit in available space — and every year, a professional juror chooses an engaging collection of works in each gallery, so I’ve decided to stop worrying about names and simply enjoy the artwork. Just please make time to visit both!

Patricia Aaron, of Greenwood Village, an internationally recognized artist who paints with encaustic (hot wax) and sculpts, was juror for the show at Curtis, which opened July 14 in the beautifully renovated

IF YOU GO CURTIS CENTER FOR THE ARTS is at 2349 E. Orchard Road in a red brick schoolhouse. It is open Monday to Saturday. Greenwoodvillage.com/curtis. Admission free.

DEPOT ART GALLERY is in a red Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe depot that once served Littleton. It was moved to 2069 W. Powers Ave. and is open Tuesdays through Sundays. 303-795-0781. old schoolhouse/gallery.

At her July 26 talk, she explained that her criteria for choosing one work over another involved the medium, the content and the technique … “I wanted to create a show that’s even, with different genre: abstract, figurative, landscape, photographic and marked `yes, no, maybe’ on the next (third) look through CAFÉ entries.”

She looked at all 525 entries one day and again on the next day before she began to select the 66 that are exhibited in the show, which runs through Aug. 25.

This is the first year that included printmaking and photography, Aaron said. She mentioned a difference in the quality of the photographs submitted and urges artists to always submit the best possible photos on CAFÉ (the Call for Entry website) when they apply for a spot in a competitive exhibit.

ART SHOWS FROM PAGE 16

Curtis director Chris Stevens determined where each selected piece would hang and his thoughtful placement enhances each work.

The First Place award went to Paonia sculptor Maeve Eichelberger for her “Rodeo Blues,” a large, decorative acrylic image of a saddle. It is beautifully crafted and presented and stands front and center in the middle gallery at Curtis. Second Place was awarded to “At the Beach,” a large abstract painting by Karen Scharer, while Tawnya Williams’ portrait, “Chalk it Up!,” skillfully rendered with colored pencil, received Third Place.

Aaron says 1,400 people have visited the gallery in July and three pieces had sold when we talked last week.

Curtis Center for the Arts is open Mondays through Saturdays. Admission is free and there is parking just east of the building, which sits at the edge of Curtis Park.

A line of art lovers waited to step inside the little red Depot Art Gallery when its All Colorado Art Show opened on Aug. 3. (It was also First Friday in downtown Littleton, which has been well-attended.)

The annual exhibit is part of Littleton’s Western Welcome Week celebration.

Juror Joan Kresek was on hand to announce winners: three 2D and three more in 3D, which is a nice plan. Kresek, who is presently on

the faculty at Rocky Mountain College of Art and Design, calls her own art “contemporary realism.”

She said there were 174 entries, with 64 works by 56 artists accepted for the Littleton show.

Her choice for First Place in 2D was “In My Dream I Burst,” an oil painting by Paula Peacock, a traditionally painted still life, with a dark background, carefully lit vase and bouquet of branches with balloons floating on string.

Fine technique plus a sense of humor … That humor continued to the delightful First Place 3D work: “Study in Resilience III”

by Cumee Fink. Reminiscent of the many trophy heads displayed across the West, it is a really clever assemblage piece, with a traditional brass drawer pull snout and its bovine head filled with empty shells — and some flowers.

Big ears flap at the sides and a collection of gear chains, cogs and other hardware look ready to clank at any minute. A straight face is not an option for the visitor!

Laurie Sorkin’s Second Place oil painting, “Iris in Sunlight,” is a skillfully rendered image of three big sunny orange/pink flowers that are so welcome in spring gardens.

The wall in the back room is an especially harmonious collection of Western color canyon photography by guild members.

The colors just radiate and invite one to look at other smaller works in the room — and at a nice selection of note cards by members, which are a great little gift in themselves.

As one who has experienced it firsthand, she hopes more people come to respect and appreciate the talent in Denver’s local music scene.

“I wish more people knew how hard musicians work to provide entertainment. We deliver our heart and souls with the hope that you, the listener, will get lost in the stories we tell,” she said.

“There are so many venues and festivals to get into and I’m excited for what happens next. There are so many venues and festivals to get into and I’m excited for what happens next.”

Appreciate cars for a cause Supporting first responders is a cause that practically everyone can get behind, and when classic cars

get added to the mix, it’s difficult to say no.

Lodo’s Bar and Grill, 8545 S. Quebec St. in Highlands Ranch, will be hosting a Car Show for First Responders from 2 to 6 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 18.

Attendees can vote for their favorite cars, try special drinks and dance to live music. Best of all, proceeds for every ticket purchase and car registration go directly to Lodo’s First Responder Charity Partners: the Colorado Professional Fire Fighters Foundation and the Colorado Police Officers Foundation.

For tickets, visit www.nightout. com/events/lodos-car-show-for-firstresponders/tickets.

Jesters caper at Voodoo Comedy Playhouse A lot of people (myself included) fancy themselves adept at thinking on their feet at the drop of a hat.

But standing in front of a crowded room with no idea what you’re going to say is a whole other thing.

And yet, that’s just what The Jester’s Court improv group — which features Connor “The Jester” Hall, Paul Twarowski, Jillian Kudrycki, Joseph Galvin, Jessie Hiester, Donald Kiley and Soleil Kohl — makes look effortless during their performances.

The Jester’s Court will be spending most Fridays in August and September at the Voodoo Comedy Playhouse, 1260 22nd St. in Denver, performing its highly popular shortform improv comedy show.

This adults-only event encourages audience participation, with performers creating a new show each week depending on who is in the crowd.

For more information and tickets, visit www.jesterscourtcomedy.com.

Clarke’s Concert of the Week — Velorama Festival at the RiNo District Denver isn’t a town particularly well-known for its music festivals.

There have been some attempts over the years, and the brand new Grandoozy festival in September aims

to change this track record, but for now it’s the smaller festivals that make the city home.

The Underground Music Showcase (UMS) took over downtown just a few weeks ago, and now the Velorama Festival will be in the booming RiNo District, 27th and Blake streets in Denver, from Friday, Aug. 17 through Sunday, Aug. 19.

This year’s festival mostly skews toward indie and alt-rock, with wellestablished acts like Modest Mouse and Cold War Kids headlining while genre stalwarts like Hop Along and Rainbow Kitten Surprise open.

In addition to the music, Velorama also features games, art installations, exhibitors, and of course, food trucks and beer.

Single-day tickets are available now, so head to www.veloramafestival.com to get yours now.

‘Sunshine Boys’ examines fame, aging, human condition Neil Simon comedy gets heartwarming treatment from local thespians

IF YOU GO “The Sunshine Boys” plays through Sept. 9 at Vintage Theatre, 1468 Dayton St., Aurora. Performances: 7:30 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays and 2:30 p.m. Sundays. Tickets cost $16 to $32, available online at vintagetheatre.com or by calling 303-856-7830.

BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

In a fine example of crossmarketing, Neil Simon’s hilarious comedy about two aging vaudevillians, “The Sunshine Boys,” played for two weeks in the lobby of the Barth Hotel to benefit Denver Housing Options’ affordable housing for the elderly and disabled — and now plays through Sept. 9 at the Vintage Theatre in Aurora.

It’s a treasure, featuring a first-time joint appearance by veteran actors Joey Wishnia and Roger Simon, who are perfect as the grouchy, achy, old Al Lewis and Willie Clark, vaudeville partners for 43 years — and now not speaking to each other.

Willie’s caring nephew and theater agent, Ben (Ben Silver-

Veteran Colorado actors Roger l. Simon and Joey Wishnia perform as Willie Clark and Al Lewis in Neil Simon’s “The Sunshine Boys” at the Aurora Fox. C OURTESY PHOTO man), arrives on his regular Wednesday visit, bearing lunch, the latest copy of “Variety” — and the important news that CBS wants to run a big special next month on the

“History of Comedy” that will include the Sunshine Boys’ famous “Doctor’s Office” act.

But ... this involves a short rehearsal and Lewis and Clark being in the same room

for awhile ... and Al is on his way over to Willie’s apartment now!

Director Bernie Cardell spoke happily of the bonus for him of working with this

seasoned pair, who had lots of ideas about staging Simon’s play.

It seems Al chose to retire, while Willie wanted to continue working — although he has trouble remembering lines, Ben reminds him. Both codgers dwell on the others’ faults and Willie soon becomes so enraged, he suffers a heart attack. The next scene is in the hospital where the concerned Al comes to visit.

Act 2 begins with the proposed rehearsal — a skeleton inhabits the doctor’s office and a nurse and a patient appear ...

“The Sunshine Boys” works its way through the skit — and to a satisfactory ending that will send the audience out still smiling at this lovingly produced gem.

TATTOO FROM PAGE 14

But downfalls do exist, he said. The increased accessibility to the profession — he points out all the equipment can now be bought online — contributes to people tattooing others without proper training or sterilization techniques.

And, of course, there’s always the chance of a lack-luster tattoo.

Tattoos are addictive — it’s rare for a person to have just one, said Billi Carwile-Braukoff of Centennial who, at 39, has tattoos on about 40 percent of her body. Anybody who has many tattoos has at least one he or she isn’t fond of or would have rather done without, she said.

“Some people get them covered up,” Carwile-Braukoff said, “but some people keep them because they’re a conversation starter. They’re a part of a story.”

Finding the right tattoo artist is key Part of what’s cool about the experience of getting tattooed is that it’s a permanent change, said Russ Pearson, who opened True Blue Tattoo in Lakewood in 2008.

“With a little effort — and a bit of pain and money,” he said, “you’ve made a forever change to your body.”

Everybody has his or her personal reason for getting a tattoo, Raynor said, and the experience for each person is just as diverse as buying a car, choosing a neighborhood to live in or pursuing a career path.

Tattoos can be a way of self-expres-

sion, a life guidance such as a biblical quote, a work of art, a tribute or a way to remember an experience, Raynor said.

Raynor points to her sugar skull tattoo — a tribute to loved ones she’s lost. Sugar skulls are a representation of death and mortality and traditionally used to decorate the gravestones on the Mexican holiday Dia de los Muertos.

“Every time I look at it,” Raynor said, “I remember and celebrate their lives.”

No matter if it’s your first tattoo or your 50th, it should be a fun experience, said Samantha Schneider, 27, of Thornton who got her first tattoo — a

small treble clef — as a birthday gift from her parents when she was 16.

Therefore, she said, it’s important to research the tattooist’s artistic style as well as his or her personality.

“You’re going to be there for hours, so you want to be super-comfortable and make sure you vibe with them,” she said. Not only that, a person should lean on the artist’s professional input, so “you want to make sure the artist is going to guide you in the right direction for a tattoo that’s true to what you want.”

Carwile-Braukoff admits the actual experience of getting a tattoo is unpleasant — it hurts and being in the shop for a lengthy amount of time can

get uncomfortable.

“But that doesn’t keep me away,” sheS said. “I love the way they look when they’re done.

Lakewood resident William Ryan, 48, got his first tattoo in 1996. It is a symbol that represents his name.

“For me,” he said, “it was rediscovering my identity after my divorce.”

Since then, he’s gotten some tattoos that he’s “extremely proud of ” and others that he regrets— all are “windows” of his journey.

“They are permanent benchmarks of milestones in my life,” Ryan said.

“They let you look into a past experience and remember when and why you got it.”

TRAINING takes new direction Athletes are working smarter in an effort to gain flexibility and power

BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

It’s often easy to distinguish a good athlete by the way he or she moves.

That starts with strength training and conditioning, which have advanced over the years into a science.

There is more to training that just lifting heavy weights and moving fast in a straight line.

The ability to change direction.

The speed to stop and start quickly.

The ability to generate explosive power.

Those are some of the things coaches want to see from their athletes.

With that in mind, high school athletes preparing for the fall sports season have been working out during the summer, and many old-fashioned training methods have been expelled in favor of smarter techniques.

No doubt, the landscape of high school sports training has changed over the years, according to Mountain Range assistant softball coach Russ Gallivan, a strength and conditioning coach who owns 5280 Fitness and Sports Performance in Westminster.

But he says, “a handful of coaches still treat it like it was 1995.”

Much of the training that goes on in the weight room these days is not sport-specific but can benefit most young athletes, trainers say.

Working out with a medicine ball can help athletes develop power in a different way than barbells.

Athletes are using programs and moves like these: • Sportsmetrics, a knee-injury prevention program originally designed for women that involves jumping and strength training.

• Spinal conditioning exercises, which are helpful for athletes with lower-back pain.

• Force-velocity profiling, which is a way to evaluate force and velocity capabilities during exercises, like jumping and sprinting. A coach can determine whether an athlete is deficient on a given movement — for instance, the vertical jump — and tailor workouts to improve. Smartphone applications have been developed to identify an athlete’s profile.

• Push/pull/carry workouts, which help athletes gain strength during the off-season by picking up heavy objects and walking, pushing, pulling or carrying them.

• Medicine ball throws, in which athletes try to release the ball with power from varying positions, such as from the side or overhead.

Gallivan, like most strength and conditioning specialists, doesn’t like athletes to specialize too soon.

“Good coaches train an overall athlete,” he said. “We don’t like to specialize a kid for one sport.”

Castle View strength/conditioning coach and physical education teacher Patrick McHenry said with younger athletes, the main thing is to get them

BOYS TENNIS Overview There have been only five seasons in the past 47 years that Cherry Creek has not won the boys state team championship.

One of those seasons was 2017, when Fairview dethroned the Bruins. So one of the questions this season is whether Creek can re-establish itself against the challenges of teams like Fairview and Regis Jesuit.

Mountain Vista, Rock Canyon and ThunderRidge should also figure into the title picture.

Vista had seven underclass players qualify for last season’s state meet, while Rock Canyon and ThunderRidge each had five underclass players gain state tournament experience.

A new coaching protocol from the CHSAA major committee report says that a coach may coach a player any time during a match as long as the coach is off the court and the coaching

does not interfere with play.

to be able to “handle the rigor of the sport.”

“From a training aspect, with the younger kids that have been here one or two years, we want to make sure they learn how to use the (weight) room correctly,” he said. “Then we can start looking at things more specific.”

Ultimately, some specialization is hard to ignore.

“A cross country person is going to go out and run, run and run,” said McHenry. “That’s their sport, so they are going to be in a different energy system than a volleyball player or a football player. From a conditioning standpoint, that is very sport-specific.

by Oct. 6.

• Class 4A and 5A state championships are scheduled for Oct. 11-13. The Class 4A tournament will be at Pueblo City Park and the 5A tournament is slated for Gates Tennis Center in Denver.

Overview One change this season is Valor Christian, which was a five-time Class 4A state champion between 2009 and 2015, moves up to 5A this season.

Regis Jesuit will once again likely be a contender for the 5A state title with Fossil Ridge, Lakewood, Grand Junction, Cherry Creek and Denver East as other teams to watch.

FALL 2018 SPORTS PREVIEW CROSS COUNTRY

VOLLEYBALL Overview This season’s state tournament will use a double-elimination bracket format until the semifinals and then single-elimination through the finals. This is a change from the old format, which often involved burdensome tiebreakers in pool play.

Castle View edged Cherry Creek in five sets to win the 2017 Class 5A state championship and both teams were sparked by senior leadership that will have to be replaced. There were nine seniors among the 13 varsity players on the Castle View roster and nine of Creek’s 14 varsity players were seniors.

5A semifinalists Chaparral and Fossil Ridge, along with 4A state runner-up Valor Christian and 3A runner-up Lutheran return experienced rosters.

Chaparral returns nine players off last season’s team and Fossil Ridge had just four seniors on last year’s team. Valor Christian had only three seniors on its 14-player player roster from 2017 while Lutheran

has nine members of last season’s team with remaining eligibility.

Top returning players Some of the top returning players from south metroarea teams: Leanne Lowry, Castle View; Kira Thompson, Chaparral; Juliana Dalton, Chaparral; Kyla Gerson, Chaparral; Cassie Davis, Highlands Ranch; Jill Borgerding, Highlands Ranch; Laryssa Myers, Rock Canyon; Ashley Larson, Valor Christian; Courtney Lane, Valor Christian; Payton Brgoch, Lutheran; Ai Leitner, Rock Canyon; Cassie Pyles, Mountain Vista; Jaeda Davis Colliher, Heritage; Kennedey Johnson, Lutheran; Alyssa Naples, Douglas County State competition • The regular season for 2A, 3A, 4A and 5A teams must be completed by Oct. 28.

• The state tournaments are scheduled for Nov. 8-10 at the Denver Coliseum.

Overview Mountain Vista’s girls and boys are the defending Class 5A team champions and are considered title contenders again in 2018. In fact, the Golden Eagles’ girls team looks very strong, with individual state champ Jenna Fitzsimmons and three other runners from last year’s title team returning this season.

Broomfield, Rock Canyon and Valor Christian are other 5A girls teams to keep an eye on.

The 5A boys team outlook starts with Vista, but Dakota Ridge is also a preseason favorite.

One of the state’s top runners, Easton Allred, who ran for Rock Canyon last season, is ineligible after transferring to Mountain Vista.

Valor Christian’s Cole Sprout, the defending 4A individual, will be running in 5A this season.

Rules 4-3-1, 4-3-1b and 4-3-1-c have been clarified this season so that a uniform is considered legal if the school approves individually purchased items as part of the school uniform.

Sabercats players plan to return this fall when the weather is cooler to plant trees and bushes, but money is needed to purchase the materials.

Donations can be made to the Castle View Gridiron Club, P.O. Box 1941, Castle Rock, CO 80104, or through the website at www.CastleViewFootball. com.

Castle View coach Todd Casebier will make sure there will be enough players on hand to finish the landscaping job at the Brite home.

“In this culture about kids and society, it is all about me,” said Casebier.

“So when you are giving back to Mr. Brite that’s not about you. It’s about him. That’s what we want our kids to understand, that they are part of the community.

“That landscaping we did was a small example of what we can do to help somebody. We’re going to do more this fall and we’re going to have more guys there. It’s something we want to do, not just for him but for other people too.”

“You get into the lifting and the cross country athletes need higher repetitions because it is high endurance. Football, volleyball, softball and soccer are going to lift a little less as far as repetitions.”

Injury prevention is another major goal of today’s training programs.

While it’s impossible to completely prevent injuries, conditioning has improved to the point that some injuries can be dramatically reduced.

“Ultimately, we are stress masters,” said Valor Christian Director of Sports Performance Bryan Glover. “We take the body, we stress it physically, mentally, and some of the biggest changes are how quick and faster that athletes can recover from that stress. So now the trick is how do we balance overtraining and making sure athletes aren’t doing too much?

“Each sport will have its own variety of injury tendencies. Our job is to look at that and put athletes in a position to prevent those injuries and keep their bodies in a balanced state to make sure those injuries are minimized. A stronger athlete that has experience with performance will heal faster.”

The potential is within all athletes to improve, Gallivan said.

“Everybody is born an athlete,” he said. “It’s all about the amount of exposure to the training.”

cover depletions from additional withdrawals from monitoring and extraction wells used in the remediation efforts at the Lowry Landfill Superfund Site (“Site”) and to obtain authorization for alternate points of replacement for out-of-priority depletions. 2. Name and legal description of structures to be augmented. a. Lowry North Boundary Wall Sump (Well Permit No. 51825-F) located in the SE1/4 SW1/4 of Section 31, T4S, R65W, 6th P.M. b. Lowry North Toe Extraction System Sump (Well Permit No. 054352-F), located in the NE1/4 SW1/4 of Section 6, T5S, R65W, 6th P.M. c. Any monitoring or extraction wells constructed in the following locations: 1) the Site as depicted in the attached map (Exhibit B); 2) All of Section 6, T5S, R65W, 6th P.M., except for the land owned by Colorado Interstate Gas Company located generally in the SE1/4 of the SW1/4 of the SE1/4 of Section 6, T5S, R65W, 6th P.M.; and 3) All of Section 31, T4S, R65W, 6th P.M. As part of its remediation activities, Applicant has drilled, and may drill in the future, a variable number of monitoring or extraction wells at the Site and in Sections 6 and 31. Applicant maintains records describing the location and technical specifications of these wells, which are reported annually to the State Engineer pursuant to an agreement with the State Engineer. All monitoring or extraction wells constructed within these areas are covered by this augmentation plan. 3. Water rights to be used for augmentation. The Applicant has an agreement with East Cherry Creek Valley Water and Sanitation District that allows it to purchase fully consumable water from the District for use at the Lowry Landfill and associated properties. The Applicant also has an on-site nontributary Arapahoe Aquifer well located in Section 6, T5S, R65W (Permit No. 37665-F), decreed in Case No. 98CW380(A). 4. Does the Applicant intend to change a water right to provide a source of augmentation? No. 5. Previous Decrees. a. Original Decree. Case No. 98CW444, Water Division 1, entered on December 24, 2004. b. First Amended Decree. Case No. 08CW287, Water Division 1, entered on November 1, 2011. 6. Statement of requested amendment to plan for augmentation. Lowry Trust operates the existing augmentation plan 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 the structures described in paragraph 2 above with fully consumable water purchased from East Cherry Creek Valley Water and Sanitation District and/or water from a nontributary Arapahoe Aquifer well by discharging water into an existing on-site injection trench and/or other tributary wells in the general vicinity. The First Amended Decree includes an annual combined volumetric limit of 80 acre-feet on withdrawals from all of the structures described in paragraph 2 above. In the course of the remediation activities, Lowry Trust has discovered that it is necessary to increase the amount of withdrawals from the structures described in paragraph 2 above.

Therefore, Lowry Trust is requesting an increase in the annual combined volumetric limit to 180 acre-feet on withdrawals from all of the structures described in paragraph 2 above.

Lowry Trust has sufficient augmentation water for these increased withdrawals. In addition, as part of its remediation efforts, Lowry Trust will need to replace out-of-priority depletions, or a portion thereof, at a location or locations other than the existing on-site injection trench and/or existing tributary wells. Therefore, Lowry Trust is requesting clarification that replacements may be made through injection well(s) constructed in the future that are tributary to Senac Creek in the SE1/4 NE1/4 or NE1/4 SE 1/4 of Section 32, T4S, R65W, 6th P.M.; and/or tributary to East Toll Gate Creek in the NW1/4 NE1/4 or the SW1/4 NE1/4 of Section 1, T5S, R66W, 6th P.M., and/or the SW1/4 SE1/4 Section 36, T4S, R66W, 6th P.M. Alternatively, Lowry Trust may make replacements by: (a) releasing fully consumable water directly to Senac Creek in the SE1/4 NE1/4 or NE1/4 SE1/4 of Section 32, T4S, R65W, 6th P.M., and/or to East Toll Gate Creek in the NW1/4 NE1/4 or the SW1/4 NE1/4 of Section 1, T5S, R66W, 6th P.M.; and/or (b) discharging fully consumable water at the outfalls of the Aurora Sand Creek Water Reclamation Facility in the NE1/4 SW1/4 Section 26, T3S, R67W, 6th P.M., and/or the Metro Wastewater Reclamation District Robert W. Hite Wastewater Treatment Facility in the SW1/4 SW1/4 Section 1, T3S, R68W, 6th P.M. Finally, Lowry Trust seeks to add a procedure for authorizing additional or alternative sources and locations of replacement water pursuant to C.R.S. § 37-92-305(8). Other than the changes 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 modify the terms and conditions of the First Amended Decree as described above. 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 diversion or storage 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 amended application, and amends the First Amended Decree as follows: a. Amend the last sentence of the first paragraph of Section 5 to read substantively 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. b. Amend the last paragraph of Section 5 to read substantively as follows: The Applicant shall receive return flow credits for 95% of the ground water delivered for treatment at the Metro and/or Sand Creek Wastewater Treatment Plants. The remaining 5% of the ground water delivered for treatment shall be replaced by discharging fully consum-

A mend the last paragraph of Section 5 to read substantively as follows: The Applicant shall receive return flow credits for 95% of the ground water delivered for treatment at the Metro and/or Sand Creek Wastewater Treatment Plants. The remaining 5% of the ground water delivered for treatment shall be replaced by discharging fully consumable water from East Cherry Creek Valley Water and Sanitation District and/or the nontributary Arapahoe Aquifer well into the existing onsite injection trench and/or other tributary wells in the general vicinity, including injection well(s) constructed in the future that are tributary to Senac Creek in the SE1/4 NE1/4 or NE1/4 SE1/4 of Section 32, T4S, R65W, 6th P.M., and/or tributary to East Toll Gate Creek in the NW1/4 NE1/4 or the SW 1/4 NE1/4 of Section 1, T5S, R66W, 6th P.M. and/or the SW1/4 SE1/4 Section 36, T4S, R66W, 6th P.M. Alternatively, Lowry Trust may make replacements by: (a) releasing fully consumable water directly to Senac Creek in the SE1/4 NE1/4 or NE1/4 SE1/4 of Section 32, T4S, R65W, 6th P.M., and/or to East Toll Gate Creek in the NW1/4 NE1/4 or the SW1/4 NE1/4 of Section 1, T5S, R66W, 6th P.M.; and/or (b) discharging fully consumable water at the outfalls of the Aurora Sand Creek Water Reclamation Facility in the NE1/4 SW1/4 Section 26, T3S, R67W, 6th P.M., and/or the Metro Wastewater Reclamation District Robert W.
