Craig Miller is the Water Efficiency Specialist and Horticulturist for the Parker Water and Sanita-tion District. He has a B.S. in Horticulture and For-estry from Michigan State University. He has spent 43 years working in a variety of capacities including nursery sales and landscape design, landscape con-struction and maintenance, urban forest management, pesticide application, lawn and tree care, open space management, and tree and landscape care sales. He is an ISA Certified Arborist and a Colorado licensed pesticide applicator. We get our water supply basically from the Denver Basis Aquifer System. We are pulling water out of fractured rock. These confined aquifers contain what essentially is “prehistoric water” that will take millen-nia to recharge. Douglas County is basically 100% reliant on non-renewable ground water.

We tend to overwater here in Parker. Half of our water use in summer is on landscape and half of that is wasted! Our soil is very solid and can only absorb 1/4 inch of water in an hour. Kentucky bluegrass (which is widely used) should have brown spots this time of year. If you lawn is emerald green, you are using too much water.

GUESTS AND VISITORS

Genese Sweeney—Ted’s Wife Scott Gough—Guest of Lindy Blackburn

(Continued from Page 2) Craig also holds meetings with Garden Clubs and conducts Master Gardener classes. He teaches a six-part xeriscape class series, which starts on the first Saturday in January. He also teaches a number of landscape care at Tagawa’s. Craig discussed the Parker Water rate struc-ture and items available such as different and improved nozzles. He also listed available re-bates and give-away items from Parker Water. Irrigation audits are also available and HOAs are increasingly making use of them. Craig discussed Reuter-Hess Reservoir. A significant amount of (water) space has been sold to several communities and neighborhoods. The pump house is just off Motsenbocker and can be seen from Stroh Road. The water system has signed up with the WISE project. An interesting fact: 85% of the water in Colorado is on the western slope where 15% of the population lives and 15% of the water is on this side where 85% of the population lives. He reminded us that this reservoir is a drinking water reservoir, not a recreation reservoir. The water district will not be in the recreation business. If the county or state fund and operate a recreation site, the reservoir has been permitted to have one. The water treatment plant is nearing completion in 2014 and the first water may be with-drawn from Reuter-Hess in March or April next year.

INTERNATIONAL NEWS

Rotary approves $500,000 emergency grant for Somalia

Rotary has approved a $500,000 Rapid Response grant to the World Health Organization (WHO) to address a recent polio outbreak in Somalia. The outbreak occurred in the Banadir region of Somalia, where a large number of children had not been vaccinated against polio due to inaccessibility. As of 14 August, 110 cases of wild poliovirus have been reported in the Horn of Africa—100 cases in Somalia and 10 in Kenya. This is the first outbreak in Somalia since 2007 and in Kenya since 2011.

The Rotary grant will cover operational costs, including human resources, training, and trans-portation of health workers, aimed at immunizing children under 10 in all accessible areas of Somalia in August. To date, five vaccination campaigns have been held in Somalia, three in Kenya, two each in Ethiopia and Yemen, and one in Djibouti. Additional campaigns are planned through the end of the year. Drawing on lessons learned from previous polio out-breaks, the first vaccination campaign was carried out within a week after the first case was confirmed.

“Until polio transmission is interrupted in the endemic countries, outbreaks such as the one in Somalia are to be expected,” says Dr. Hamid Jafari,, director of Polio Research and Opera-tions at WHO. “So long as the budget for the new Polio Eradication and Endgame Strategic Plan is fully funded, we’re well-equipped to pursue endemic and outbreak priorities simulta-neously.” Rotary’s emergency funding for responses to polio outbreaks in Somalia and other countries has been critical to ensuring that immunization activities proceed without interruption, thereby minimizing the risk of the disease’s further international spread.

In addition, the governments of the United Kingdom and Japan recently announced financial commitments of $15.3 million and $1.3 million, respectively, to fund similar emergency vac-cination campaigns in the Horn of Africa. The United Nations has warned that without further intervention, polio could quickly develop into an epidemic across East Africa and put count-less lives at risk. The UK’s assistance will allow WHO to immunize 6.1 million people most at risk from the disease in Somalia, northern Kenya, and other countries in the region. This new funding is in addition to a $457 million pledge to the Global Polio Eradication Initiative in April. Japan’s emergency grant will pay for more than 5 million doses of oral polio vaccine for supplementary immunization activities in November and December, expected to reach more than 2.8 million children under 10.

OUR EXCHANGE STUDENT

Vedrana Kovacevic is from the city of Zagreb in Croatia., the capital city which is home to some 800,000 souls. Seventeen year old Vedrana is the daughter of Zoran and Vesna Ko-vacevic and has an eleven year old brother. Vedrana and her family live in an apartment in Zagreb located in the region known as Central Croatia. Vedrana's father has a business which is involved in monitoring air quality and her mother, Vesna, is kept busy raising their son and worrying about Vedrana as she ventures into a dif-ference kind of life and many new experiences for the next ten months. Vedrana speaks very good English and, as most young people, knows well how to use and navigate social media. Before she came to the US, she had been in contact with the other for-eign exchange student at Ponderosa - Paulo from Brazil. She also has contacted and made friends with Emma, the midday Parker Rotary club's exchange student from France, who is attending Chaparral. The first few days after Vedrana arrived she spent with Ron and Janice Beller. Janice is her Rotary counselor and immediately introduced Vedrana to life in the United States from help-ing to make blankets for Project Linus, to hamburgers, to a rodeo at the Douglas County Fair. Vedrana is now settled with her first host family, Karen Bonner and Jerry Stiteler in the Pi-nery and has begun attending Ponderosa. Please remember when you plan some special activity - or not so special activity - to invite Vedrana to join you. We want to make this year one of the broadest experience of life in these United States as possible. Her phone number is: (303) 883-2832.

CLUB NEWS

THE ANNUAL GOLF BENEFIT - SEPTEMBER 9

For the nineteenth consecutive year, the Parker Ro-tary golf tournament will provide a significant por-tion of the club’s annual operating budget. Over the years, the tournament has been the single largest contributor to our budget. As with any of our major projects or fundraisers, participation by club mem-bers is essential to success, but particularly for the golf benefit! And it isn’t just playing golf. Chairman Andy Becher will need many Rotarians to serve at

the numerous functions on the day of the event. A great deal of effort will be required even before actual event. We must find spon-sors, sign up golfers, and obtain donations for the silent auction, in order to assure a profit and thus provide the means for contin-uing our local and international projects. Additionally, all members are encouraged to stay for the dinner.

THE KEY NOW IS TO GET THE MONEY THAT HAS BEEN PLEDGED!

Attend the golf committee meetings, which are held every Thursday, to find out what you can do to help. It is recognized that every mem-ber may not be comfortable approaching potential sponsors. But we all know golfers and many of us know sponsors from previous years. Every member is aware of the terrific contributions that this club makes to the community and to the world. Money is the common enabler that allows us to do what we do. Help in any way you can. It isn’t all work, either. Come out and have a good

time golfing, working, and eating!

Rotary Critics Knowing what we know about Rotary and its achievements over the past century, you might think that an organization with such a noble agenda would be universally praised. It wasn’t! In fact, it had many early critics, some of whom were highly regarded academics and writers, who seemed to believe that high moral principles and objec-tives must be a front for less noble goals. Yet, despite their criticism, some of it vicious, Paul tried to be fair and to understand their per-spective. “It would not be fair to the critics of Rotary, who include some of the most brilliant of the British and American writers, to charge them with prejudice.” (Paul Harris, This Rotarian Age, page 1) His conclusion was that their cynicism prevented them from believing that anyone could aspire to the principle of Service above Self.

ROTARACT

After the success of Interact clubs for high school-age youth

in the early 1960s, the RI board created Rotaract in 1968.

The new organization was designed to promote responsible

citizenship and leadership potential in clubs of young men

and women, aged 18 to 30. The first Rotaract club was chartered by the Charlotte

North Rotary Club in Charlotte, North Carolina. In 1994 there were more than

149,000 members in more than 6,500 Rotaract clubs in 107 countries.

Rotaract clubs emphasize the importance of individual responsibility as the basis of

personal success and community involvement. Each club sponsors an annual pro-

ject to promote high ethical standards in one's business and professional life. Rota-

ract also provides opportunities leading to greater international understanding and

goodwill. Rotaractors enjoy many social activities as well as programs to improve

their community. A Rotaract club can exist only when continuously sponsored,

guided and counseled by a Rotary club. The programs of Rotaract are built around

the motto "Fellowship Through Service."

ROTARY MINUTE

A GARY MERAZ TRUE STORY A secret agent was sent to Ireland to pick up some sensitive information from an agent named Murphy. His instructions were to walk around town using a code phrase until he met his fellow agent.

He found himself on a desolate country road and finally ran into a farmer. “Hello,” the agent said, “I’m looking for a man named Murphy.” “Well, you’re in luck,” said the farmer. “As it happens, there’s a vil-lage right over the hill where the butcher is named Murphy, the baker is named Murphy, and three widows are named Murphy. Matter of fact, my name is Murphy.” Aha, the agent thought, here’s my man. So he whispered the secret code; ‘The sun is shining….the grass is growing...the cows are ready for

milking.’ “Oh,” said the farmer, “you’re looking for Murphy the spy—he’s in the village over in the other direction.”
