Mr and Mrs. Gary Castle would like to thank the Coal Creek Canyon Rescue team for their excellent response to our call and their expertise in caring for Gary in his time of need in May. Cathrine Brown was the first one there so quickly, and the others came soon afterward with all the emergency equipment. We are indebted to these very responsible and knowledgeable responders. We are blessed in Coal Creek Canyon to have this admirable team of volunteers who take their responsibilities seriously and are skilled to do an excellent and compassionate job in saving lives. We sincerely thank you all for all you did in our emergency. THANK YOU ALL.

WildAware in the Canyon by Jan Waddington There were 17 Moose reports this month! Just two, at this time last year. That doesn’t mean there were seventeen individuals but still a lot of moose. Moose were rare in Colorado in the 20th Century and reintroduced starting in 1978. They have expanded their range, certainly to Coal Creek Canyon, and are hanging around where people see them. Certainly, they are so big - hard to miss. Most of the sightings were upper canyon: Inspiration Rd., Upper Coal Creek Heights, Wondervu, and Indian Peak Rd. Rudi Lane moose were reported four times. Pinecliffe and Black Gulch had moose, as well as Happy Trail right at Ronnie Rd., and Camp Eden. A cow with one calf was on Copperdale at Rudy/Brook roads. One moose, that appeared to be a yearling, was all by itself on Coal Creek Heights Drive. Elk were reported still on the flats and there is speculation that at least a portion of the herd may no longer migrate in summer to higher ranges. Mule Deer are browsing on shrubs and, unfortunately, emerging wildflowers. No fawns of the year have been reported. Male Black Bears are awake and getting their photo IDs - on Spruce Canyon Circle, and near Eldora Lodge. A “big” bear was on lower Rudi Lane and another was noted on Loomis Dr. A Cinnamon color phase on Coal Creek Heights, two light-colored bears on a deck on Nadm, and a sow with a cub was at the top of Gap Rd. Only one bear was reported in

trash - which is some kind of record. Residents must really be working to keep bears away from trash and bird feeders. A “giant” Mountain Lion was at the Axton Ranch entrance on Camp Eden, and one was on Janelle Circle. Grey Fox - very nocturnal and so different than red fox, was on Spruce Canyon Circle and across the canyon on Georgian Way. The black phase Red Fox was diving for mice/voles just like the classic wildlife films picture foxes. Coyotes and a Raccoon showed up on a Georgian Way trail cam, along with more frequent Wild Turkeys that inhabit certain neighborhoods in the canyon. Some females are loners now off tending their nests and young. Birds - big birds - five or six White Pelicans were on that tiny pond east of Hwy. 93, south of Hwy. 72! Usually, pelicans take a running start off water. Take-off from a water hole must be difficult. Swallows are back, at least when a cold front doesn’t send them off to town. Other birds, not so often seen as our resident birds, were Red Crossbills and Western Tanager. Check out Coal Creek Canyon Birds for details. Then there are the small critters, often not reported but important. Rock Squirrels, not to be confused with our ubiquitous Pine (aka Chickeree) Squirrel, were sighted

at the base of the canyon. Golden-mantled Ground Squirrels are awake, making themselves unpopular by eating decorative plantings, and chipmunks abound. Even Tiger Salamanders and Wolf Spiders are being noted - and warily watched! Thanks for staying in touch and call Jan (303-642-0926) with any wildlife questions or sightings, or post on Coal Creek Canyon social media giving a general location.

June Saws & Slaws NewsBy Jody DicksonRudi EventWe hosted our first full Saws & Slaws event of 2018 on Rudi in early May. It snowed a couple days before, but the sun helped us clear a way for us to work. Thanks to six sawyers and 17 swampers, we helped three properties on Rudi Lane work toward their Boulder County Wildfire Partners goals for fire mitigation. It was a great kick-off event for our year with plenty of great work done in our traditional orange-shirt style!

The chipper and team buried in slash at the Rudi event in May.

Gilpin Wildfire Preparedness WorkshopI went to the Gilpin County workshop in April. It was a half-day event, featuring people from various organizations talking about the different aspects of fire mitigation and response. We heard the basics around creating defensible spaces around our homes in the Wildland Urban Interface (WUI). Creating a defensible space does not guarantee our homes will survive a fire, but it gives them a fighting chance. Gilpin County has some money to help homeowners in Gilpin County to achieve some of the defensible space work. If you are interested, you can find out more at http://gilpin.extension.colostate.edu/fire-mitigation-grant/ They are limited in the number of homes they can serve, so apply soon if you would like to take advantage of this helpful resource. An insurance agent reminded us about the importance of having enough insurance. Yes, of course, an agent would say that, but it was one of the biggest learnings from the Four Mile fire. Most people were significantly under insured. This agent recommended that you take the time to know and understand your coverage, and find an agent or an adjustor that will help you do that. I’ve often heard about talking to a builder that works in the mountains to get a more-accurate estimate on how much it would cost to rebuild your current home as it costs more to re-build in the mountains than it does in town. One of the new things I learned was around depending on the age of the structure, you can expect a 25% increase in expense just to cover the costs of the improvements that would be required to meet new building codes/standards. Also, they

reminded us to make our inventory of personal items. It is very easy to go from room to room and take pictures or videos of all the stuff. Keep those photos or videos on a USB drive with your important insurance documents… preferably NOT in your home!The part of the discussion that I found most interesting was around evacuation. The firefighters recommended practicing alternate routes, learning how to shut off your utilities, and be sure you are signed up for the notification system (often called reverse 911) for your county. Prepare your evacuation kit with the stuff that you’ll need for at least a few days: clothes, toiletries, important documents, a battery-powered radio, etc. Be sure to make a plan for your pets. Gilpin has a well-organized animal rescue organization and infrastructure for keeping animals at the fairgrounds. Most important was making a communication plan with your family and neighbors. Power will likely be one of the first things to go down, so figure out how you will communicate without a cell phone or wifi. For your family and house-mates, it was recommended that you designate a single point of contact that is out of the state for everyone to call to give updates to about where you are and where you are going. They talked about the different things you can do to your house depending on how much time you have before evacuation. For example, if you have the time, then move furniture

away from windows, close all windows and doors and turn off the lights. Move furniture (and grills) off your deck. Either put it in the garage or out in the yard away from the house. Finally, and it may be obvious, but pay attention to what is happening around you. If you see something concerning, don’t wait for the evacuation notice to leave, just leave! Needless to say, I’m just skimming the surface of all the things that were discussed. I find these programs are always a great reminder of the stuff we can do to be ready for a wildfire… or other emergency.June EventsWe have a LOT planned for this month! June has TWO slash weekends in Coal Creek. On June 2 – 3rd, slash collection will be happening at Coal Creek Canyon Fire Station 2 (near Camp Eden and Hwy 72). A couple weeks later it will be at the Blue Mountain drop off near the mouth of the canyon on June 23rd and 24th. These slash collection weekends are hosted by Jefferson County. It costs $20 per load (full truck bed or an 8’ x 5’ trailer). Ideally the slash is no more than 8’ long and no greater than 6” in diameter. Bagged or unbagged pine needles are welcome, but NO stumps or root balls. There is another Jefferson County event is planned for September, but WHY WAIT!?! Divide and conquer and get as much of your slash out as soon as possible.

These meetings are the essential ones where we make decisions about our priorities, how to do what we do effectively and efficiently, and how we remain sustainable as an organization. If you haven’t heard already, our dear Peggy Stevens is resigning from the treasurer and communications roles that she has held for just over a year. We are SO grateful for everything she has done to get us to this point. To be frank, we wouldn’t be a stand-alone 501(c)3 without her dedicated work, so I can literally say we wouldn’t be here without her! Thank you, Peggy, for all your hard work. We are sorry to see you go from our day-to-day operations, but we wish you the best in your next adventures.

Thank you, Peggy Stevens, for all your hard work!

That said, as part of this board meeting, we will need to work on filling her critical shoes. Under ideal circumstances, we would need a couple people to divide up this work. If you are interested and have at least a few

S H I P W R E C K E D Rescued by Jesus

Help! I Can’t Digest My Food!I feel so blessed to have the opportunity to help people improve their health and wellbeing. Everyday I see miracles before my eyes, and it’s such a natural occurrence that I easily overlook the profoundness of these experiences. Today I had a patient (let’s call him John) tell me he’s now off all medication. My heart burst open when I heard, as he was a mess when he first began care. Primarily we’ve been working on digestion as he was having difficulty eating after work. He would have trouble sleeping, felt heaviness in his belly late into the night and would have food reflux back up when laying flat. You can imagine this was terribly uncomfortable, causing him to avoid eating dinner with his family.Upon evaluation I learned he was not producing enough hydrochloric acid (HCl) to digest his food appropriately. Lowered HCl can have different causes, but, as suspected, he was taking medication that suppressed his natural acid production. These meds are called “antacids” and/or Proton Pump Inhibitors (PPIs). There are OTC varieties as well as prescribed, and he thought he was doing good by taking a prescription. The Merck Manual, the physician’s desk reference, points out that Prilosec should only be taken for no longer than 14 days. He’d been taking it for 4 years!

This Is A Huge Problem…Here’s the deal: antacids suppress HCl production. HCl is made in your stomach, is necessary to break down carbohydrates, proteins and fats and to absorb certain vitamins and minerals. If you don’t have HCl you don’t digest food or absorb leading to a state of malnutrition, hence a diminished quality of wellbeing. It’s important to limit antacid use, as it leads to a reduction or giving up your own natural production of HCl. Over time, if your body halts its own production, it becomes a challenge to turn this around.According to the National Library of Medicine, PPIs interfere with vitamin B12, vitamin C, calcium, iron and magnesium metabolism. B12 deficiency can lead to nerve damage as the myelin sheath erodes. This is what makes your nervous system function so quickly. Sensations of pins and needles in your feet may occur, it could effect your balance and coordination, or even lead to an autoimmune condition called pernicious anemia. Vitamin C is an integral part of your immune system as well as your adrenals, which help you handle stress. Calcium clearly supports your bones, but you may not realize it also plays a very important part in immune function. Magnesium is vital to heart and muscle function and a deficiency may lead to leg cramps at night. You bet John was experiencing those as well.

The first step was to relieve discomfort, so I supplemented him with the most bioavailable nutrients to replenish what was deficient. HCl deficiency was also supported so he could digest his food. Guess what! He began sleeping better right away and had more energy throughout the day.Are you wondering how more HCl was helpful? People take antacids because they feel they have too much acid leading their heartburn. Why give them more acid? Actually, most of the time the problem is they don’t have enough acid to begin with, hence the food they eat sits in their stomach and putrefies, creating it’s own acid and bubbles back up. They take an antacid to stop the burning, but in turn are creating more of the problem that got them here by suppressing the natural production of HCl.Of course talk to your doctor before making changes, but there are a number of supplements that can improve digestive functions of the stomach, including betaine hydrochloride, pepsin, pancreatic enzymes, bromelain (from the stem of the pineapple), papain (from green papaya fruit), ginger, niacin, cayenne pepper, Gentian root, or herbal bitters stimulate gastric juices, promote gastrointestinal tone and promote bile flow from the gall bladder. If you are concerned about your stomach acid and whether yours is out of balance definitely reach out

to your health care provider or a functional medicine practitioner who can help you figure out the root cause.If you have any questions feel free to reach out. My consultations are complimentary. You can also meet me at the next Nederland Farmer’s Market, Sunday, June 10th. *Women, if you’d like to have community support, join in our The Transformation Tribe Live!Every Wednesday @ 6pm in Nederland.

COMPENSATING FAMILY FOR CAREGIVINGThere is a growing trend toward keeping our elderly at home and moving them out

of nursing homes. One impetus for this change is the high cost of institutional care. Another reason for the change is a change in philosophy; we are beginning to recognize that our elderly have a better quality of life if they can stay in their own home or live with a loved one (unless they need skilled nursing services). The 2010 Affordable Care Act made Medicaid benefits more broadly available to people living at home and increased federal funding to states that make more home care services available to those who would otherwise be in nursing homes. (See WashingtonPost.com, January 2, 2014).If you can find someone willing to help you stay in your home, whether they are family or contract caretakers, I think they should be compensated and you should have an agreement

in writing that specifies what tasks will be done for you and the amount of compensation. Under federal Medicaid law, caregivers are not entitled to compensation unless the parties have entered into a written care agreement. It is important that an attorney be consulted in drafting a caregiver agreement if you want to compensate your caregiver and not encounter problems with Medicaid eligibility requirements.When a child provides for the care of a parent, that child may find it difficult to ask for compensation but taking care of a loved one may prevent that child from working outside the home to their full potential. I have clients who think their children will work this out after the death of the client but usually children refuse to compensate a sibling after the death of a loved one unless there was an agreement in writing.An effective caregiver agreement must be in writing and should be witnessed by two unrelated persons or notarized to be honored by those administering Medicaid. The agreement should indicate when care is to be provided, what care is provided, and the amount of compensation paid to the caregiver. The caregiver should be paid a reasonable rate for his or her services based on the type of services provided and the rate that would be charged by a third party providing the same services. The rate may be different for different types of services. The agreement should include payment schedules and payment should not be made in advance of rendered

services because Medicaid may treat unearned compensation as a gift. If the caregiver has experience in providing certain services, he or she may be entitled to additional compensation for his or her expertise. For example, if your child is a nurse and he or she can care for an elderly relative, he or she should be compensated at a rate higher than a family member who is not a nurse.Caregiver agreements reduce misunderstandings among family members after the death of an elderly person and help with Medicaid qualification. Caring for a parent or other family member before his or her death is hard work. I have handled cases where siblings or other family members file claims against the estate of a deceased for compensation due to services provided before death. I have also had cased where family members wish to contest a deceased’s Will because they do not feel that they were treated fairly. I encourage family members to discuss care and compensation issues before death to reduce possible litigation after the care recipient’s death.This article was written by Tamra K.

Credit: John Williams

The next Sky Watchers meeting will be: Saturday, June 9th – From 7 to 9:30 PMAt the Coal Creek Canyon Community Hall, 31528 Highway 72, Golden, CO 80403 Our next meeting is June 9th and we are honored to have a very special presenter Dr. Fran Bagenal who will share the fascinating science we have learned about Jupiter from NASA’s Juno mission! Fran is a research scientist and professor at the University of Colorado, Boulder and is co-investigator and team leader of the plasma investigations on the Juno mission, as well as the New Horizons mission to Pluto. She edited one of the major books on the giant planet - Jupiter: Planet, Satellites and Magnetosphere.

NASA’s Juno Mission to Jupiter: What’s Inside the Giant Planet?Juno’s principal goal is to understand the origin and evolution of Jupiter. Underneath its dense cloud cover, Jupiter safeguards secrets to the fundamental processes and conditions that governed our solar system during its formation. As our primary example of a giant planet, Jupiter can also provide critical knowledge for understanding exoplanets and the planetary systems being discovered around other stars. The Juno mission was launched in August 2011 and has been in orbit over Jupiter’s poles since July 4th, 2016. Juno’s name comes from Greek and Roman mythology. The god Jupiter drew a veil of clouds around himself to hide his mischief, and his wife, the goddess Juno, was able to peer through the clouds and reveal Jupiter’s true nature. With its suite of science instruments, Juno is investigating the interior structure, mapping Jupiter’s intense magnetic


Dr. Fran Bagenal will give a talk on the Juno mission at Jupiter on June 9th.

field, and measuring the distribution of water and ammonia in the deep atmosphere. Juno is also the first spacecraft to fly over Jupiter’s aurora and measuring both the energetic particles raining down on the planet and the

bright “northern & southern lights” they excite. A huge bonus is the small public outreach camera that is taking fantastic images of Jupiter’s beautiful clouds. The images – some science, some art – are processed and shared by the public around the world. Working with the Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics in Boulder, Fran’s main area of expertise is the study of charged particles trapped in planetary magnetic fields and the interaction of plasmas with the atmospheres of planetary objects, particularly in the outer solar system. But - if you don’t know a lot about plasmas, don’t let that scare you off. Fran loves sharing her enthusiasm for space and astronomy with the general public.

Born and raised in the UK, Dr. Bagenal received her bachelor degree in Physics and Geophysics from the University of Lancaster, England, and her doctorate degree in Earth and Planetary Sciences from MIT in 1981. She has participated in several of NASA’s planetary exploration missions, including Voyager 1 and 2, Galileo, Deep Space 1, New Horizons and Juno.Local Sky Watcher Dave Schemel will also give a presentation featuring his amazing astrophotography. Dave has traveled to many solar and lunar eclipses and captured beautiful images of them and other celestial objects. He makes stunning greeting cards with some of his photographs and will have them for sale at the meeting. Leonard David and John Williams will also give brief updates on space missions and astronomy news. After the presentations, we’ll set up our telescopes and check out some celestial objects, weather permitting.OUR APRIL MEETINGAt our April 28th meeting we had a record 46 people show up for a great talk by author and local Sky Watcher Carolyn Collins Petersen. Her talk was called “Building a Space-faring Civilization”. She gave us a look at all the cultural,

Saturn was one of the five planets known to the ancients. It’s the second largest planet in the solar system after Jupiter. Saturn is the Roman name for the planet based on the god of agricultural and harvest, Saturnus. The Greeks took a more poetic view of the planet. They noticed its 30-year repeatable cycle, the longest of any planet. They thought it to be the keeper of time, Cronus, or Father Time. They also considered it the seventh of the seven heavenly objects visible with the naked eye. Babylonians also noted and recorded Saturn’s movements among the stars. They named it Ninurta. The Hindus knew the sixth planet from the Sun as Shani, a deity who would judge everyone based on good and bad deeds performed during life. Ancient Chinese and Japanese cultures

designated the planet as the Earth Star, based on the five elements used to classify the natural elements. You also might recognize the planet’s name used in one of our days of the week – Saturday. On June 27th, the ringed planet will be closest to Earth. Astronomers call this moment an opposition. Saturn’s face will be fully illuminated by the Sun as Earth slides between and it will be brighter than any time in the year. And it’s visible all night long, riding along with the Milky Way in the southern sky. One of Saturn’s most stunning attributes is its extensive ring system. The ancients did not know of its rings. In 1610, Galileo turned his telescope toward the giant planet but could not see them well enough to discern

Everything Starts as Imagination – Part I“Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited, imagination encircles the world. Logic will get you from A to B. Imagination will take you everywhere.” Albert Einstein Your life will move in the direction of your thoughts. Consider for a moment that everything that has been created by humankind started in the imagination. Ideas and creations born from simply dreaming, innovating and most importantly, taking action, have shaped the fabric of our world. The mind is an amazing tool, so powerful that even the most sophisticated super computers pale in comparison. And, the most interesting part to me is the fact that the brain cannot tell the difference between real life experiences and imagined life experiences! This then begs the most thought-provoking of questions; what is the main content and focus of your mind? What you focus upon most is what your world will manifest. It’s not magic, its intention. For example, let’s say you want that new Toyota, Tacoma 4x4 pickup with all the bells and whistles in candy apple red. You see advertisements for it, watch some videos, maybe explore an online site looking at what’s out there and then, like magic, everywhere you go you see Toyota, Tacoma pickups. They were always there, but your reticular activating system (RAS) was not focused on that target so they were ignored until you put your intention and focus upon them. This is why people who have positive expectations tend to have positive lives and why people who have negative expectations tend to have negative lives. It has everything to do with where your extremely powerful mind is focused and that is always anchored in your beliefs. The majority of our beliefs, and we are talking in excess of 80%, were formed before we were 8 years of age. The reason is that your brainwaves were in a frequency range called theta which is not capable of analysis, rather it absorbs everything in its environment from the people who have input into our young lives. Whatever we were exposed to as children was downloaded like a computer program. For example; If you grew up in violence and family dysfunction chances are you are experiencing similar things as an adult because your belief system and expectation is hardwired toward life being violent. Your experiences as a child became a literally belief blueprint that colors your unique perception of the world and your place in it, good or bad. So why can’t we just make up our minds to create a new reality? The answer lies in the fact that these beliefs you have formed are programed your subconscious mind, an automatic program running the show that is…get this…one million times more powerful than your conscious thinking mind. Do ANYTHING to upset that original programming and the subconscious mind will be triggered to a threat response and do whatever it can to

sabotage your desire to change. Your current life situation is a DIRECT reflection of those subconscious programs, The good news is that you do possess the ability to erase the old programs, like removing a virus from a computer, and replace them with a new reality based on new and empowered beliefs. Words and thoughts are like seeds because whatever you are speaking and thinking you are giving life to those things. At some point the seeds you plant will be the fruit you will eat. The most important thing you can do is monitor your thought-seeds and, with extreme diligence, eliminate anything that would grow rotten fruit. Thoughts, and the actions that stem from those thoughts, are the single most important aspect of the reality you are experiencing in your life. You can’t think or talk negative and expect to have a positive life. You can, literally, talk yourself out of your destiny, out of the grandest vision of whom and what you were created to be. And, controlling your thoughts, as anyone who has attempted to do so will attest, is nearly if not virtually impossible. However, fear-not life traveler, next month in Part II we will focus on how NOT controlling your mind will yield the results you are looking for in altering the landscape of your life experience.

If you are excited about baseball and softball leagues, please reach out to us and get involved.We are also looking for some recruits who want to be part of something from the start and help us rebuild our organization, rewrite our “Master Plan”, develop future trails, and commit themselves to creating a better community through dedicating and volunteering their personal time. This is an exciting time to part of CCCPRD; making a difference and being passionate about your community as things rapidly change here in our front range. If you are interested in being part of something I have mentioned above or just want to help somehow, someway, please reach out to us on our website, to contact board members of CCCPRD and get started. http://www.cccparkandrec.org/ The CCCPRD board meets every 3rd Tuesday of the month at 7:00pm at the CCCIA building.

John Baich has served on our board as our Financial Treasurer, Advisor and friend. John was and still is an extremely committed and active volunteer within our board and among our community. He has volunteered at most all CCCPRD events ranging from fundraisers to representing the board in various meetings as a whole and can always be counted on to follow things through. His term will be running out this month and he has

unfortunately chosen to not to renew his oath as an appointed member of the board. John stated he will continue to help the CCCPRD when he is available and we all appreciated what he has done for CCCPRD. We all wish we could have convinced him to stay as his wisdom and knowledge will be greatly missed! We are all wishing him good luck and would like to give a big “THANK YOU” from myself and the CCCPRD board! We would also would like to thank Vanessa Wishstar who has been a part of the CCCPRD for past ten months and has chosen not to renew her appointed board status as of this month. Vanessa had assisted the CCCPRD with updating the current website and was the recent coordinator of the tree sale fund raiser sale last month. A big thanks to her web-committee, and particularly to Steve Wishstar, who has volunteered and performed great IT work for the CCCPRD website. Thank you both for all of your hard work and dedication as volunteers and wishing Vanessa the best on her future unaffiliated business ventures. Lastly, thank you all who purchased trees last month and to all the committee members who volunteered their personal time to the Tree Sale Fund Raiser Event. FYI - Our next scheduled fundraiser event is our 2018 Annual “Mountain Festival” which is being held on Saturday, August 4th @ 10:00am located at the CCCIA facility, more details to come. So please mark your calendars, support your local community CCC Park & Rec., because as always, this years will be better than the last! See you there and enjoy your summer!

CCCParkandRec Continued from page 21Written by: Vanessa Wishstar - Webmaster, Creative Visionary, Social Communicator for Coal Creek Canyon Park and Recreation DistrictThis will be my last article write up on behalf of CCCPRD, as I, along with a few others, are leaving the board. It’s been a wonderful journey serving our community as a representative of CCCParkandRec and I enjoyed being able to provide this organization with a new website, new logos and branding, online organization, being the social media director, CCC Homesteaders’ Club director with the help of our sponsor: United Power, fundraising marketing specialist and creating Plant a TREE with Me benefit fundraiser that I, Rusticaw, hosted. Speaking of which it was a great success, thanks to many of you and your green purchase, CCCParkandRec and CCC Watershed Partnership raised a significant profit and got face time to connect with our community. Also congratulations to the winner of the Home Depot gift certificate: Linda Martin!Although my departure is saddened by the fact I will no longer be speaking on behalf of CCCParkandRec, I feel grateful I got the opportunity to be effective in helping them move forward - technologically and with vision.

Bonfils Blood Drive Recap- Thanks Coal Creek Community! I want to express my sincere appreciation to all who came out to donate during our blood drive this year. This is the fifth year in a row that the CCCIA has sponsored a Bonfils blood drive, and I can honestly say they keep getting better. Our goal before the drive was to successfully collect 17 units, and in the end we collected a total of 26! That’s the most we’ve ever collected. Since each donation can save up to 3 lives, we collectively saved as many as 78 lives. We can really feel proud about that! Bonfils estimates that only about 1 out every 100 Americans who are eligible to donate blood actually does so, a figure that has always amazed me. A lot of people fantasize about being a hero and saving someone else, and doing all kinds of crazy things in the process. Donating blood is easy, though- you can save another person with just about an hour of your time and no personal risk to yourself. Even deferrals are appreciated more than I can say. At least you have the right attitude! So if you came out to donate on May 12th, pat yourself on the back and know that you are a hero to someone else who needs a blood transfusion in order to live. More than one donor told me that they greatly appreciate the convenience of having a blood drive at the Hall. They said it’s much easier than finding a blood drive in town or going to one of Bonfils’ donation centers. Bonfils agrees, and they

COAL CREEK CANYON 4TH OF JULY FESTIVAL VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES!

By Tom Mulvany, Tent Head HonchoIn order to be ready for the annual Coal Creek Canyon Improvement Association’s 4th of July Festival which takes place on Wednesday, July 4th, 2018, at the CCCIA Community Hall at 31528 Hwy 72, we need to set up two big tents the night before.

even suggested the possibility of bring the drive up here more than once a year. It’s something to consider, but in the meanwhile, if you didn’t get a

chance to donate on the 12th, you can still donate at Bonfils’ donation centers at Denver West or in Boulder and have it count towards increasing our numbers even more. Just give them the site code 1741. Thanks to all who supported the drive!~Ashley Roberts

Bonfils team: Lindsay, Kristen, Mayra and Travis

We will need 15 to 20 VOLUNTEERS to assist in the set-up on Tuesday, July 3rd, at 5:00 pm. The big tent is 20 feet by 40 feet and requires a minimum of 15 people to safely set it up. The majority of helpers do not have to lift anything heavy, just stand along the sides and hold an aluminum pole upright. We do have to carry the tents and poles out of the hall basement and load them on a pickup truck first. It is a pretty interesting experience to see how the tent is erected. The second tent is 10 feet by 20 feet and is used for the band or DJ. It is much lighter weight and more simple to set up. Addition tasks to be completed that evening include: carrying wooden tables and chairs out of the hall basement and loading them on trucks to be moved to the parking lot and set up under the big tent. We will also have to set up the inside of the hall for the Pancake Breakfast. Bruce Goodwin (The Pancake Man) is in charge of that operation. So if you have a couple of hours to come up to the hall and help a bunch of your canyon neighbors set up for the 4th Fest, and meet some new friends, we would really appreciate your assistance. The ‘Theme’ of the Festival this year is:FIRE-WISE 4TH OF JULY!If you can help on the 3rd please give me a call, or just show up at 5:00 pm. We will provide some snacks and refreshments. Work gloves are recommended.

EARTHWATCH Feeding Wildlife by Jody DicksonI think it goes without saying that one of the things we love about living here is the opportunity to see wildlife. We get excited when we see everything from birds, squirrels, chipmunks, fox, deer and bobcat to the rare bears and mountain lions. For myself, I’m carefully monitoring all the encounters with moose in Coal Creek… hoping that I’ll see one in my neck of the woods one day! There is something magical about just watching wildlife. For better and for worse, we humans have been known to attract these experiences by feeding these wild animals, but it is important for us to understand the consequences of that. When we feed wildlife we can make them dependent on us for food. Younger animals may not learn the necessary skills for foraging and hunting so that when they leave their parents’ territory they struggle to feed themselves. They also can become habituated to humans, losing the instinctive sense of caution around humans. They would then potentially approach humans expecting food, and, if aggressive, could put both human and animal at risk. Their instinctive wariness of humans is important to their survival. We can also attract wildlife to areas where they wouldn’t naturally be by making food available to them (intentionally or unintentionally). It can bring more wildlife to an area than that area would normally support, causing some solidary species to get territorial. It can also increase the spread of disease, some of which can

be transmitted to pets and humans. Especially with any aggressive or destructive behavior, wildlife can become a nuisance that neighbors begin to complain about and then wildlife managers need to start to intervene. Also, human food isn’t necessarily good for the animals (just like it isn’t for humans!) They could fill up on food that doesn’t provide the necessary nutrients they need to be healthy. Also some foods might be hard for wildlife to digest causing them to get sick. The best thing to do for our wildlife is to sustain diverse environments that are their natural habitats full of natural foods and shelter. We can plant native bushes, trees and flowers or add a water feature. This does not put them in danger the way human-provided food sources can. And, if like me, there are particular species you want to see, respectfully and gently go to them in their natural habitats. ----------------------------------------------------------------------We are reading:At a bookstore in DC, I stumbled across a little book series called Object Lessons. Each one takes a deep look at everyday things. I opted to read the one about Earth. It features two professors, one in humanities and the other in planetary science, exploring through exchanged letters how we experience and understand the Earth from those two very different perspectives. What I loved was that while different there are a lot of commonalities, too. I learned a lot, especially around literal perspective (think: scale) of both the Earth and our understanding of it. I

Water Quality Testing Results from Coal Creek Canyon WellsBy Jackie Daoust, Watershed Program Assistant, CCCWPIn partnership with Jefferson County Public Health, CCCWP sponsored another 50 free water quality tests to canyon residents in March. We had our largest turnout to date! A total of 91 people tested their private wells. Here are the results:

E. coli 91 2 (2%) NA present or absent

Total Coliform Bacteria 91 18 (20%) NA present or absent

Uranium 77 44 (57%) 0.02 0.03 mg/L - (EPA MCL)

Nitrogen (Nitrate/Nitrite) 91 7 (8%) 2.15 10 mg/L -(EPA MCL)

57% of the uranium samples were above the EPA recommended limit. Uranium is a radioactive atom that slowly decays into radioactive particles that can cause damage in the body. Prolonged exposure to radiation may increase the risk of cancer. Consumption of water containing uranium in excess of 0.03 mg/L may be toxic to the kidneys. If your well water has a high uranium

level, check with your water treatment specialist about ways to reduce the amount in your home usage such as ion exchange, reverse osmosis, lime softening and coagulation/filtration (information from EPA Website). CCCWP has information about water treatment options on our website at: https://www.cccwp.org/watershed/water-quality-testing-for-private-wells/ E. coli was detected in 2 samples this round of testing and 18 residents tested positive for Total Coliform bacteria. E. coli and coliform bacteria may be found in water sources, such as private wells, that have been contaminated with feces from infected humans or animals. Waste can enter the water through different ways, including sewage overflows, sewage systems that are not working properly, polluted stormwater runoff, and agricultural runoff (information from “Well Educated” worksheet available at CCCWP website). CCCWP encourages all canyon residents to have their septic systems checked and maintained annually for you and your neighbor’s health!Nitrogen was found in 7 wells above the EPA recommended limit. According to the Center for Disease Control, nitrate can occur naturally in surface and groundwater at a level that does not generally cause health problems. Nitrate is a concern because excess levels can cause methemoglobinemia, or “blue baby” disease. Although nitrate levels that affect infants do not pose a direct threat to older children and adults, they do indicate the possible presence of other more serious residential or agricultural contaminants, such as bacteria

or pesticides. High levels of nitrate in well water often result from improper well construction, well location, overuse of chemical fertilizers, or improper disposal of human and animal waste. It is important to test drinking water not only after a flood event, but also on an annual basis. Wells can deteriorate over time for a variety of reasons. Upstream events can introduce contaminants to previously pristine groundwater supplies. It is helpful to test at the same time every year to assure consistent results (information from CDC website).CCCWP has held 5 well testing events and assisted in testing over 250 wells in Coal Creek Canyon. Water samples tested in the canyon showed there are definitely some water quality issues in this area. We encourage you to get your water tested. You can find information how to test on your own and send your sample to the state lab here: https://www.colorado.gov/pacific/cdphe/lab/generalinfo This initiative is one of several ways CCCWP is working to provide information and improve watershed health for our Coal Creek Canyon community. We look forward to offering another round of free private well testing in July. For more water quality information see the links available on our website at: http://www.cccwp.org Please call us for more information or questions you may have about maintaining your well, controlling erosion, stream crossings, riparian restoration, and anything else pertaining to the health, beauty and sustainability of the Coal Creek watershed 303-586-1491.

WHAT IS THE CHURCH?Webster’s definition : A building for Christian worship. A particular body of Christians. The first church of the Bible tells of believers of Christ Jesus meeting in people’s homes. This is still taking place today where Christians are being persecuted. Some of the church buildings have been burned to the ground. In the first and second century AD the Apostles preached the Gospel of Jesus in the Jewish temples and synagogues until they were forced out by the Sadducee and Pharisees. The Roman Catholic (Universal) church, some time later claimed to have retained the Apostolic succession of Bishops. In Mathew 16:15-18 Peter testifies that Jesus is the Son of the Living God. The Rock (Jesus) said he will build his church on is really Christ himself, not Peter. Later Martin Luther, a Catholic Priest developed that “Justification by Faith”, not of works or the acts of doing penance (or undergo suffering or sin). He became excommunicated by the church. In 1521 Luther began the German translation of the Bible. This brought about the Lutheran denomination and Protestant religion. The Church of England was established in 1534. John Wycliff translated the Bible to English in 1382. It seems the Church of England was somewhat included to the Kingship and became somewhat of a political organization. In 1560 the established Church of Scotland, under the leadership of John Knox, started the Presbyterian movement. There was a spiritual revival, led by John Westley in 1701, starting the Methodist denomination. The Baptist are a protestant denomination dating from the Seventh Century. Perhaps believing from John the Baptist who practiced total immersion when baptizing a new believer in

Christ. Mormonism, also know as “The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints”, started in New York state in 1830 by Joseph Smith, and later by Brigham Young as their leader. They moved their community to the Salt Lake area in 1847 where the practice of Polygamy was hindered in the following years. The nondenominational churches, (which I belong) became popular in the last 100 years. This church is made up of various protestant and Catholic believers. I want to emphasize again the CHURCH is the people that are believers in The Lord Jesus Christ, not a building. The church could meet in my barn and do well, as long as the Gospel of Christ is preached and taught. (It would take some time to get my barn cleaned out tho. LOL) The universal church is that group of believers through out the world; people that believe in the Virgin Birth of Jesus, His death on the cross, and His resurrection from the tomb. The Church is referred to as the “Bride of Christ” and Jesus as the “Bridegroom”. Someday He will come back from Heaven to receive His bride (the Church), and we will be with the Lord forever. First Thessalonians chapter 5, vs. 13-18 tells how this will take place. There are other denominations I have not listed and also other religions that are available, but are not christian. If I made some errors regarding some of this writing, please forgive me, as I’m far from perfect. I pray for the ones

reading this article that they will believe and trust in the Lord Jesus Christ as their savior, and become part of the church. God bless you everyone. Claude Thoemke, Deacon, Chapel In The Hills, 303-642-3285 or [email protected]

It’s tempting to use social media, such as Facebook, to research the cause of an outage or send a quick message informing us you’ve experienced a disruption in service. United Power tries to inform our members whenever there’s a large outage. While we strive to keep an eye on the conversation and encourage our members to engage with us frequently on social media, our pages are not monitored at all times.

There is a quicker and easier way to let United Power know when you’ve been impacted. We’ve partnered with SmartHub to bring our members an easy-to-use app with many convenient features, including the ability to report an outage. Our on-site system operators monitor outage notifications submitted through the SmartHub app 24/7.

If you have not already downloaded the app, we recommend you do.

In addition to submitting outage notifications, members may also:

• Make payments• Store payment options• View usage history• Select paperless billing• Notify us of account issues• Communicate directly with us

Reporting an Outage Doesn’t Need to Be Inconvenient

Safe Tree TrimmingAs trees begin to grow and bud, they may come in contact with power lines, creating confusion about responsibility and concern about member safety. United Power wants to make sure you know the answers to your questions so you can safely tackle your yard work.

For quick reference about who’s responsible for maintaining trees near power lines, please check the “Who’s Responsible” sidebar.

When you encounter a tree near a primary power line, immediately contact United Power. Avoid trimming when you encounter the following: tree limbs in contact with a power line, dead tree limbs hanging near power lines or tree limbs growing toward power lines.

Observe the Ten-Foot Rule. This means anything inside that radius may put you at risk. For your safety, United Power will disconnect secondary lines when notified in advance of any tree trimming activity at no cost to the member. Trim only from a steady, level surface, removing small, easy to manage sections. Large tree/branch sections may fall unexpectedly and risk taking down power lines and causing potential injury. If this is not possible, contact a professional tree trimmer.

When in doubt about safety or responsibility, please contact United Power at 303-637-1300. We’ll be happy to send out a troubleshooter or one of our tree contractors to assess the situation and keep you safe.

Who’s Reponsible?United Power has an aggressive tree trimming program to reduce the number of tree related outages. However, in some cases, the homeowner may be responsible for keeping a line to their home clear of trees. Here is how it works:

United Power is responsible for trimming around primary lines.

These are lines running from pole to pole. United Power maintains these lines because they are higher voltage and require special handling from a qualified tree trimming crew.

Members are responsible for obstructions in secondary lines.

These are typically single lines stretching from our pole to a member’s home - often seen in backyards, crossing from the main electric line to the home.
