Cherry Creek wins 41st boys tennis title Bruins also capture two individual crowns By Jim Benton jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com Cherry Creek won only two individual championship matches Oct. 17 during the finals of the Class 5A State High School Tennis Championships at the Gates Tennis Center. Still, the Bruins ran off with the state championship, which marked Creek’s 41st boys title in 44 years, as well as its fourth in a row and 13th in the past 14 seasons. “We stayed strong throughout, and luckily the whole was greater than the sum of the parts,” said coach Art Quinn. “It was a great journey, a testament to the steadfastness of our team to just keep coming. “As always, as most teams go through the adversities of a season what you see
is not always what you get. Thanks to our competition for helping us be the best we can be.” Sophomore Mitch Johnson, a No. 2 doubles champion last season for the Bruins, won the No. 3 singles state title. Ben Murray and Spencer Buted were the No. 3 doubles champions. Creek’s Ryan James was the No. 1 singles runner-up, and Robby Hill was fourth at No. 2 singles. Cherry Creek garnered 35 points in singles competition and 37 in doubles, and finished with 75 points as the Bruins’ quality depth was enough to outdistance second-place Fairview, which had 51 points. Creek’s Jacob Bendalin and Erin Norwood were second in No. 1 doubles, and Andy Duggan and Andy Hsu were the No. 2 doubles runners-up. Sam Angell and Stone Heyman were third in No. 4 doubles Tennis continues on Page 13

Exploration of Flight Center takes wing Air and space museum opens flight ramp By Alex DeWind adewind@coloradocommunitymedia.com A yellow 1942 Boeing Stearman biplane with an open cockpit flew over Centennial Airport — a rusted B-25H Barbie III was parked on the runway below. The parade of classic planes drew a crowd for the opening celebration of a new flight ramp. Visitors included World War II veterans, students and teachers from Wings Aerospace Academy, aerospace leaders of Colorado and community members. “Thank you to Centennial Airport for being the best place in the world for something like this,” said Greg Anderson, CEO and president of Wings over the Rockies Air & Space Museum. Wings Over the Rockies opened its flight ramp on Oct. 14, marking the start of its Exploration of Flight Center, a flight-based, education and technology center along 15 acres of Centennial Airport. The center will include a Spreading Wings Teacher Flight Program. One teacher from every school in Colorado’s Front Range will get the chance to fly a plane. “We will have many features dedicated to aviation and education,” Anderson said. The development is funded by the $21 million Wingspan Capital Campaign and has received $9 million in pledges to date, according to a press release from Wings Over the Rockies.

Jenna’s world: a happy place to live Jenna Zecchino, 20, sits on the sofa in her home, a leatherbound notebook open on her lap. Slender fingers trace her carefully printed words as she reads aloud in a rhythmic, unhurried cadence: Move with the wind. Move with the glory and make it a story. Move somewhere far and move close to touch the star. “Move is a great word to start a poem about,” she says, long brown hair framing her face as she looks up and flashes a buoyant smile. Her feet, clad in pink, sequined shoes, hang short of the floor. She turns the page. This poem is called “Miracle.” “I think it was about prom, because I remember getting kissed at prom.” She reads: I feel like a miracle just happened to me. I don’t know how or why. All I want to do is say I am so happy right now. The thing is, Jenna’s always happy. And like the title of her poem, she is somewhat of a miracle — not only in how she fought her way into this world, but also in how, like a fairy sprinkling magic dust, she leaves a trail of joy in her wake. “I don’t know how she can be that happy all the time,” says Makayla Albers, 20, Jenna’s best friend and a junior at Doane College in Nebraska, inspired in part by Jenna to become a special education teacher. “She definitely makes me happier when I’m around her.” Jenna weighed three pounds when she was born, induced eight weeks early because she had stopped growing. Her cerebellum also had not fully devel-
oped, and because doctors couldn’t figure out exactly what afflicted Jenna, they assigned her a Ann Macari maybediagnosis Healey of cerebral palsy, says her mother, Julie Zecchino. She endured many surgeries, a feeding tube and numerous therapies. At a year old, she weighed 12 pounds. Doctors repeated at each visit that her growth was “not normal” and that she wasn’t meeting developmental milestones. But Julie and Jenna’s dad, Al Zecchino — the two are now divorced but remain good friends — determinedly rejected the “not normal” label. And Jenna happily did, too. Extra Ordinary Poem: Sometimes I just feel like I am extra ordinary. A extra ordinary person can be who they want to be. A special needs student at a Highlands Ranch high school, Jenna graduated with her class in 2014. That year, students elected her homecoming queen. She is a gymnast and was a cheerleader. Last school year, she took two classes at a local community college, earning an A and a B. She has a boyfriend, Devin, of 3 1/2 years — the one who kissed her at prom. She is a preschool gymnastics coach at a local athletics club. The journey hasn’t been easy. The most difficult part, her mother says, revolved around
social issues. In an open letter posted on Facebook to honor Jenna on her 18th birthday, Julie remembered the time she arrived to pick her up at elementary school and found her hiding. She told Julie she was playing hide-and-seek with her friends, and she had hidden so well they couldn’t find her. “I was devastated and angry when I realized that the ‘friends’ were not even looking for her,” Julie wrote. “It was a rude awakening for me, when I came to the realization that this was my problem and not hers. She was happy and never once thought any less of those kids. Her world is full of love and happiness, and she refuses to see it any other way. Why would I want her to see things any differently?” The rare moments when Jenna isn’t happy stem directly from others’ unpleasantness. “I can’t really take people fighting or yelling at each other — that really makes me upset,” she says. “And when someone yells at me, I get really upset.” That’s when she turns to those she loves, and music — singing and dancing on a backyard deck or in her bedroom. I don’t think about what makes me upset and lets me down. I think about what makes me happy and lifts me up off the ground. A moment of boredom in her bedroom, coupled with a love of music, inspired Jenna to start “writing like crazy.” Her poems, tender and insightful in their simple brevity, spin off the lyrics of songs that touch her in one way or another. She prints them carefully in her notebook, or on sheets of loose paper, then posts them on her Facebook page —
Jenna Zecchino always chooses to focus on the best in others because it makes her happy. Courtesy photo she counted 162 as of Aug. 20 — to share with friends and family. “They make my day,” Makayla says, “every single day.” Says her dad: “She has opened my eyes with her words to how wonderful life can be with the simple things we take for granted, such as friendships.” Jenna hopes her poems make a difference for those who read them. “I kinda feel like they’ll get an inspiration to start doing what I’m doing. . .like either start listening to music more,” she says, “or start helping out people.” Blank Space: If you have a blank space. All you need to do is have something special to cover it with. Fill the blank space with something or someone that makes you happy. Someday, Jenna wants to
travel the world. Atlantis. Paris. Rome. She wants to get married and live near her family. She wants to cook dishes like smoky herbed shrimp and glazed orange poppyseed cake. Being a famous singer and dancer would be the ultimate dream. But her most important role is one she unconsciously fills every day by seeing the best in all of us and finding joy and beauty in the world around her. Imagine what life could be like if we all did that. Ann Macari Healey’s awardwinning column about people, places and issues of everyday life appears every other week.

People prop up pollinators Local efforts take aim at global epidemic
By Chris Michlewicz cmichlewicz@coloradocommunitymedia.com
D
ouglas County residents are spearheading local initiatives to combat a global issue: the rapid decline of pollinators. Monarch butterflies, honey bees and a host of other insects share space on a rabbitbrush shrub in a pollinator garden at an official monarch way station recently certified by the nonprofit Monarch Watch. Built by Douglas County with the help of Eagle Scout Jack Vasquez, the pollinator garden and way station at the Hidden Mesa Open Space trailhead south of Parker provide a source of milkweed, nectar and shelter on the western fringe of the monarchs’ migratory path through North America. It’s just one of the components in a grassroots effort to save the pollinators, which the North American Pollinator Protection Campaign estimates are responsible for one out of every three bites of food eaten in the U.S, including nuts, fruits, coffee and chocolate. Because of economic impacts to the honey industry, much of the focus has been placed on saving bees. But there are parallel campaigns to prop up all pollinators, from bats and flies to butterflies and birds. “A lot of people don’t put the whole ecosystem together,” said Jackie Sanderson, natural resource specialist for Douglas County Open Space. “They just say, ‘I like plants, but I don’t like bugs.’” But, she points out, one often cannot survive without the other, and the ramifications from the domino effect of decline are frightening to consider. A plea to ‘bee’ educated In recent decades, bees have taken on a growing list of enemies — new pathogens and parasites, impacts to their habitat from
development, and the aggressive use of pesticides that don’t distinguish between threatened larvae and other insects. Perhaps the most fearsome foe is Colony Collapse Disorder, which the U.S. Department of Agriculture classifies as a “mystery problem” that has caused the global bee population to plummet. The disorder results in a dead colony with no adult bees or dead bee bodies but with a live queen and honey and immature bees still present. Annual losses from the winters of 20062011 averaged about 33 percent each year in the U.S., with a third of these losses attributed to the disorder by beekeepers. The winter of 2011-2012 was an exception, when total losses dropped to 22 percent, according to the Department of Agriculture’s Agricultural Research Service. But in the spring of 2014, beekeepers reported massive colony dieoffs and there was a scramble to split surviving colonies to ensure long-term survival. President Obama’s order in June 2014 to establish a federal task force to discover ways to stave off the epidemic came at a time when several other studies were being conducted by international health organizations, universities and the Apiary Inspectors of America. But Douglas County residents aren’t waiting on any results. Taking meaningful action Diane Roth, chairwoman of the Parker Scientific and Cultural Commission, has been keeping bees with her husband, Jeff, since they moved to town in 1992. It wasn’t until the last year or so she noticed that, even though Parker hosts an annual honey festival, there was no proactive ordinance permitting beekeeping in the town of Parker. She did some research and realized a homeowner had to seek the town’s permission to keep a colony. “There are beekeepers in the town of Parker who weren’t aware that their hives

weren’t technically allowed,” she said. After approaching elected leaders, the rules were relaxed and bees were declassified as a “vicious arthropod” in the town’s home rule charter Sept. 21, Roth said. Parker now has the “best ordinance in Colorado,” Jeff Roth told the council. It’s one that allows for two colonies on a quarter-acre lot and up to six colonies on a one-acre lot. The elimination of restrictive regulations “just made sense” given the resurgence in urban beekeeping and changes that have taken place in communities throughout Colorado, including Castle Rock, Diane Roth said. Hanging with ‘Norma Milkweedseed’ Despite being recently certified, the monarch way station at the Hidden Mesa Open Space — like others in Rowley Downs and the Alta Vida Alpaca ranch — has been thriving since last year. That’s due, in part, to the work of Jeannine Colley and her mother, Norma Grigs. Since last fall, the two have driven around Douglas County finding and marking milkweed plants, the only source of food for monarch caterpillars. After collecting as many pods as they can during a few-week period in the fall, they spend the winter removing the seeds and sorting them into pouches that are then handed out to anyone willing to help. The activity has earned 87-year-old Grigs the nickname “Norma Milkweedseed.” Colley and Grigs got a few hundred milkweed plants started at an experimental garden at Hidden Mesa and planted a handful in the pollinator garden. The native milkweed plants take some care early on, but ultimately become self-sufficient and produce a vibrant flower. Colley and Grigs were inspired to do something about the decline in monarchs after watching “Flight of the Butterflies,” a 2012 documentary that told the story about the long journey the monarchs take
between Canada and their winter homes in the Michoacán highlands in central Mexico. Colley became “fascinated with these creatures that are so amazing and can do this 2,500-mile flight.” With monarch numbers dropping sharply in the last decade, the immediacy was clear and Colley and her mother created a public education campaign that has hit local schools, senior centers, gardening groups and fairs to drum up support. Sanderson, the county’s natural resources specialist, backed the effort and provided space in the experimental garden for milkweed seedlings. “We think of it as just being the bees — yes, they’re the majority — but native pollinators are also important,” Sanderson said. Colley and Grigs are doing their part, starting small and focusing on one area that Monarch Watch has deemed important: establishing milkweed habitats. “We’re just trying to spread the word about monarchs and that they need help, and encouraging people to plant pollinator gardens that support not only the caterpillar forms of these creatures but the adults,” Colley said. The pollinators include birds, bats, flies and anything that flies from flower to flower and facilitates the pollination process. Grigs said she always thought flies were “worthless” until she found out they were pollinators. After hearing about the plight of monarchs, it only seemed natural to do something to help. Visiting schools and educating children early on is part of preserving the monarchs’ future. “I love their colors and the way they fly, and that was before I knew what a brave and courageous and dedicated little insect it was,” Grigs said. “We can’t let them go extinct. My goodness, we’ve got to save these gorgeous things.”

Children’s Hospital Colorado South Campus opened its first outdoor sports therapy field for young rehabilitees. An opening ceremony was held Oct. 13 at the campus off Lucent Drive in Highlands Ranch. Denver Broncos linebacker Brandon Marshall assisted children in cutting a blue ribbon next to the facility. “This field is very useful,” said Bridget Younger, manager of Children’s Hospital Colorado Sports Medicine Program. “It’s an extra tool to use.” The outdoor field, which has a soccer
field and basketball court, will be used by adolescents in the final stages of their recovery processes. Jay Albright, the program’s surgical director, sees 95 percent of his patients for sports-related injuries like ligament tears and concussions. The field will replicate the surface that the patient will eventually be training on again. It allows physical therapists to see patients in a real-time environment, rather than just a clinic, said Younger. “This field is one of a kind,” Albright said. And it is: It’s the first outdoor sports therapy field for Children’s Hospital Colorado.

Hikes connect cancer survivors Live by Living inspired by woman who fought breast cancer
By Chris Michlewicz cmichlewicz@coloradocommunitymedia.com Dan Miller admits he doesn’t have numbers to prove it, but he knows in his heart that “wilderness therapy” demonstrated its worth in his wife’s final years. Julie Wrend had already been diagnosed with breast cancer and gone into remission by the time Miller met her in 1990. The couple quickly fell in love and embarked side by side on outdoor adventures, including an annual trip to one of the 10th Mountain Division huts in Colorado’s high country. Even when the cancer returned, Wrend refused to let it slow her down. Five months after a hysterectomy in 2001, she was completing a five-day, 30-mile hike through the fall colors. “Anytime she had a setback with cancer, the most important thing was to get back out, even after surgery, just walking around the block to get stronger to go hiking again,” Miller says. The Parker resident believes the excursions had a beneficial impact on multiple levels: it gave Wrend a tangible goal, the exercise made her feel better, and being outdoors was therapeutic. In honor of his late wife — who succumbed to cancer in 2007 after a 19-year battle — Miller created Live by Living, a nonprofit foundation that leads groups of 14-18 patients, survivors and their caretakers on hikes to Wrend’s favorite place. They also get together regularly for walks at local parks and hikes on trails in the Denver area. Naturally, the groups gain a sense of camaraderie. “It can be an isolating disease, but it affects a lot of people,” Miller said. “It’s about the connections they make with people who are going through something similar.”
For more information or to volunteer, call 303-808-2339 or go to www. LiveByLiving.org.
Diane Wendt, of Fort Collins, went on the group’s most recent hut trip in September and says that’s precisely what happened to her. Wendt did not expect those connections to be so powerful and organic. “You can joke about stuff, laugh about it, and also cry about it,” said Wendt, who was 24 when she was diagnosed two years ago with leukemia. “There really is no judgment there because they have been in your shoes.” Miller established a goal to raise money to buy land and build a hut of his own, a place of “solace” to bring patients and survivors of any type of cancer, and name it after Wrend. While still working toward that goal, he is honoring his late wife the best way he knows how. The hikers are brought together by their experience, but cancer is never the focus of the trips. The purpose is to enable the patients and survivors to get away from the stress associated with treatment. It’s also meant to be a motivating force. “People have the strength to do these things internally and we’re just helping them access their own inner resources,” Miller says. Since 2009, Live by Living has led people into the wild, including the all-important caregivers and family members who have gone through the ups and downs that come with the illness. Volunteers prepare the meals, bring supplies to each destination, and lead the groups in meditation, yoga or music therapy. The walks and hikes are free to the survivors and funded by corporate and individual donations, as well as grants from nonprofits like the George Karl Foundation. Live by Living is having its own fundraiser Nov. 6 at The Denver Club. The largest benefit is leaving the worry behind and soaking up the freeing sensation
Julie Wrend, who died in 2007 after a long battle with breast cancer, inspired the creation of Live by Living. of being out in nature. Miller is confident that the impacts, although immeasurable, go a long way. “She lived longer than average for (a) stage-4 (cancer patient),” he said about Wrend. “I can’t prove it was because of the outdoor stuff, but I know it made it better.” Wendt, who met Miller when he was running a booth at a “Stupid Cancer” event for young adults, was so convinced of the benefits that she has plans to start survivor walks in northern Colorado. Because she was so often stuck inside during her treatment, Wendt was “recharged” by going outside with like-minded people. “Now that I’m done with treatment and feeling healthy, I’d love to take some people who are (going through treatment) on some walks,” she said.

Autumnal Mexican tradition takes root in the United States By Christy Steadman csteadman@coloradocommunitymedia.com
M
exican bakeries are taking orders for pan de muerto. Dancers are practicing for Aztec or folkloric dance performances. Stores have brought out papel picado and sugar skull molds to sell. Preparation is underway to celebrate Día de los Muertos — or Day of the Dead — an ancient tradition in Mexico and parts of the south, central and north Americas that is becoming more widely known in the U.S., thanks to its Hispanic populations. But the festivities, which traditionally occur on Nov. 1 and 2, aren’t about celebrating corpses. Rather, they are joyful observances of life that honor one’s ancestors. “Many religions honor their ancestors in different ways,” said Monique Ramirez, funeral director at Olinger Crown Hill Mortuary & Cemetery in Wheat Ridge, which is holding its own celebration Nov. 1 with sugar skull decorating, traditional dances and more. Día de los Muertos “is a great opportunity to connect with the Hispanic culture around us and introduce other cultures to a different way of honoring their loved ones.” The tradition dates back more than 3,000 years to when indigenous cultures in Mexico observed harvest season with rituals that embraced mortality and celebrated life after death. The Spanish conquistadors arrived and believed the Aztec ritual mocked death and was, therefore, sacrilegious, and tried to stop it. Even though Spaniards attempted to convert the indigenous peoples to Catholicism, they refused to relinquish their custom of celebrating life after death. So, the Spaniards moved the dates to coincide with the Christian beliefs of All Saints’ Day and All Souls’ Day on Nov. 1 and 2, respectively, when it is believed the spirits of the dead visit their families. “Día de los Muertos has indigenous roots and philosophies,” said Audrey Santos, event planner and school counselor at Escuela Tlatelolco in Denver. “It’s important for indigenous people to recognize their traditions.” Part of the way to do that, she said, is keeping old traditions — food, religion, ceremony, music and dance — alive. Today, people create altars to honor their ancestors, clean and decorate the gravesites of loved ones, and celebrate together with song, dance and special foods. Learning and celebrating other cultures allows people to understand and live together in hope and harmony, said Maruca Salazar, executive director and chief curator at Museo de las Americas in downtown Denver. “The more people who embrace the Day of the Dead tradition,” she said, “the better understanding and connectivity we will have.” Altars Altars are traditionally built to honor and remember a person who has passed away, said Crystal O’Brien, executive director of the Chicano Humanities & Arts (CHAC) Gallery in downtown Denver. “You’re inviting the ancestors to come back,” she said. Often, people will place a washcloth and water on an altar for the ancestors’ to be able to clean up after their long journey back. Probably the most important items on an
An altar to remember Carlos Martinez, the former director of CHAC Gallery who died in 2005, is set up as part of the CHAC Gallery’s El Día de Los Muertos: A Celebration of Life exhibit. The exhibit is open for public viewing until Oct. 30. Photo by Christy Steadman altar are photos of the loved one, she said, but traditional items also include candles, fresh marigolds, sugar skulls, pan de muerto (bread of the dead) and papel picado (cut paper). Papel picado is cut tissue paper that comes in a variety of colors and has different representations. “Legend says the papel picado keeps the good spirits here and the bad spirits away,” she said. Altars will also have items that a person liked when they were alive or mementos from the past. O’Brien makes an altar every year for her mentor, Carlos Martinez, the former director of CHAC Gallery who passed away in 2005. Martinez was diabetic, O’Brien said, but he loved Coca-Cola, so his altar will always have a can of Coke. “Altars can be the three tiers,” O’Brien said, “but people can also do it however they want to honor their loved one.” Pan de Muerto Pan de muerto is a type of bread made once a year for Día de los Muertos, said Juana Padilla, co-owner of Panaderia Rodriguez, a Mexican bakery in Lakewood. Families will usually place the bread on the altar as an offering to their ancestors. “It’s a popular tradition,” she said. Pan de muerto is made with less sugar than other breads, Padilla said, and comes in different sizes. Sometimes, she said, it is shaped into a skeleton to honor the ancestor that passed away.
Face painting The creative process of painting faces for Día de los Muertos is a lot of fun — both for the person getting it done and for the artist, said Leslie Williams of Snappy Face Painting in Littleton. “The design is just taking off,” she said, and becoming more popular every year. This is the time of year that she will be busiest with Día de los Muertos face paintings, but throughout the year, people sometimes request the design for costume parties or themed events, Williams said. “The artistic value of it is just amazing,” she said. Sugar skulls Sugar skulls are the pre-Columbian presence on the altars, Salazar said. Native civilizations had a clear identification with death, she said, and a skull’s purpose is to represent duality of life and death. However, the idea was simplified to help children connect with mortality. Essentially, a person is confronting death when decorating a sugar skull, Salazar said. “Creating a sugar skull is deeper than artistry.” When decorating a sugar skull, a person can do whatever they want with it because it represents who they are, Salazar said. “Honoring your past,” Salazar said, “makes you aware of your roots and who you are.”

Battle looming over immigrants’ licenses Drivers in country illegally are at heart of political fight
By Ivan Moreno Associated Press Colorado immigrant advocates frustrated over long waiting periods for people who want driver’s licenses regardless of their legal status vowed to pressure lawmakers in the coming months to free up money so the program can meet demand. A coalition of immigrant rights groups said recently that they would be lobbying lawmakers to allow more offices to issue the special licenses, but they will have a difficult time convincing Republicans who dislike the program and have gained control over half of Colorado’s Legislature. The GOP has fought back in other states that give licenses to those in the U.S. illegally or with temporary legal status. In New Mexico, Republican Gov. Susana Martinez, the nation’s only Latina governor, has tried to repeal the law a
number of times, but her efforts have stalled in the Democratic-controlled Senate. Ten states and the District of Columbia have such programs, which supporters say help keep immigrants insured and informed about the rules of the road. Opponents argue that the licenses condone illegal behavior. In Colorado, Democrats who approved the program two years ago without Republican support are now facing a GOPcontrolled state Senate. That has given Republicans power over whether to authorize the state Department of Revenue, which oversees motor vehicle offices, to allocate money toward additional license appointments. Immigrants are waiting months to get specialized driver’s licenses and identification cards through three offices. They are charged more than legal residents, and the fees they pay fund the program. “None of these hikes in rates have helped our community,” said Victor Galvan, Denver organizer for the Colorado Immigrant Rights Coalition. “That money belongs to the community.”

very high,” said Daria Serna, spokeswoman for the Colorado Department of Revenue. “Once appointments are released, they usually go very quickly and we do not have appointments go unclaimed. Our available resources do not allow us to serve everyone interested in this program in a timely manner.” However, she also notes that people are not showing up — there have been more than 5,000 missed appointments since the program launched. Back then, appointments were handled at five locations. The Department of Revenue asked in January to spend $166,000 in program fees to permanently hire some temporary workers and potentially expand to other offices to address high demand. The department is now operating three offices under a compromise that party leaders struck in March to allow the agency to use $66,000 in fees. Colorado has 180,000 residents in the country illegally, according to the Pew Charitable Trusts, which released a study in August on the states that allow driver’s licenses regardless of legal status.

The special driver’s licenses cost $50.50, compared with the $21 that legal residents pay. Immigrant identification cards are $14, also higher than the $10.50 paid by everyone else. Galvan’s organization and other immigrant advocates, including Mi Familia Vota and Driver’s Licenses for All, plan to begin lobbying legislators next month as they start work on a new state budget. Colorado vastly underestimated the initial surge in demand for the licenses, a problem Democrats are now facing. Since the program became operational in August 2014, 14,299 immigrants have received driver’s licenses and an additional 2,218 have received driving permits, according to state figures. An additional 2,278 have gotten ID cards. “We believe it’s fully funded — fully funded to the law that was passed,” said Republican Sen. Kent Lambert, who chairs the budget-writing Joint Budget Committee. But immigrant groups say many more are waiting for licenses. Appointments are being booked 90 days in advance. “Demand for this program has been

Give until it stops hurting
We have all had those conversations, haven’t we? You know, that kind of conversation where we are encouraged or asked to step up and make a donation to or to support “a really good cause.” And there are a lot of “really good causes” out there, aren’t there? I mean everything from Breast Cancer Awareness, PanCan.org that supports pancreatic cancer research, the American Heart Association, Big Brothers and Big Sisters, Make-A-Wish, Denver Rescue Mission, Children’s Hospital, American Diabetes Foundation, National Jewish Research Hospital, St. Jude’s, Girl Scouts of America, Boy Scouts of America, your local elementary school wrapping paper drive, Wounded Warrior Project, AMVETS, human trafficking, domestic violence, the Salvation Army, Red Cross, your church’s mission trips and other church programs, and millions of other “really good causes” that we can get behind in some way. Some are global, some are national, and others are very local and hit very close to
home. That “really good cause” that gets me fired up is going to be very different from the “really good cause” that gets you fired up. And that’s OK, because it’s when we feel that passion that inspires us to make a financial contribution or give Michael Norton our time and talents to help out is when WINNING we have the greatest WORDS opportunity to make a difference, and that will always be very personal. Now there are many times we feel a tug on our heart and we compassionately and impulsively make a decision to give a small donation or give our time or resources to help out a little if we can. And again, large or small, anything we do will have some impact
for those individuals who will receive some level of benefit now or in the future. But what I am talking about here is that true passion that compels us to give more than just a little of our time and money, it drives us to support our “really good cause” to the very best of our ability. And when we have that level of passion, and we can give at any level large or small, the passion comes through as we do so with a giving and cheerful heart. If you find yourself unsettled about supporting “a really good cause” for whatever reasons you may have, I would encourage you to consider the people in your own family or within your own circle of friends who may have been adversely impacted by a tragic situation or who could have really used some form of help when they were facing their battle. And as you do, I would further encourage you to consider that charity and support are not just for others to do

Making memories the old-fashioned way
There are more than 540,000 living University of Michigan alumni, including my sister. I think about 25 of them were on my flight. I flew from Denver to Detroit and surprised Cindy on homecoming weekend. (You’ll be pleased to know that the drivers in Detroit are just as ignorant as they are here.) Playwright David Mamet said that surprises are an “act of aggression,” and I agree. I promised Cindy I would never do it again. I had never seen her new home. Her new home is a reliquary. My sister is a borderline hoarder. There are mementos and keepsakes everywhere. I recommended Knick Knacks Anonymous. Every square inch of counter space has something on it. It’s all very orderly, however. She has my doodles from the ’60s and
’70s. I thought I was in the Wayback Machine with Sherman and Peabody. I begged her not to die before I do. Her estate will be someone’s nightmare. On Saturday we drove to Ann Arbor. Craig Marshall Smith If you haven’t QUIET been to a Michigan DESPERATION home game, put it on your list. There is nothing like it. Before the game, we went to Zingerman’s. Zingerman’s is the best delicatessen between Katz’s in New York and Langer’s in Los Angeles.
But it’s not fast food. By the time we arrived (11 a.m.), the line was out the door and all the way to Ypsilanti. Owner Rick Strutz and I were in cahoots, so Cindy and I were able to cut in line. Otherwise we might still be there. Here’s the catch: They have one girl taking orders. I have never seen anything like it. We were in line for 45 minutes and we waited 45 minutes for our sandwiches. It was worth it. Michigan Stadium is the largest college stadium in the country. It seats more than 110,000. The population of Highlands Ranch was 96,713 (April 1, 2010). Like I said, it was homecoming. They honored past NCAA champions, and there are a lot of them. Former cheerleaders led cheers. Former band members played “The Victors” over Smith continues on Page 11
Keep Guantanamo detainees out of Colorado President Obama wants to bring terrorists incarcerated at Guantanamo Bay (GTMO) to Colorado. This is outrageous and I’ll do everything I can to stop it. Recently, the Obama administration announced that officials from the U.S. Department of Defense are scouting the Supermax prison in Florence and a medium-security state prison as potential locations to house the terrorists. This is a terrible idea for several reasons. First and foremost, transferring the detainees to U.S. soil would afford them all of the due process protections given to a legal resident of this country and could potentially lead to their release. Since 2012, Congress has passed — and President Obama has signed — annual restrictions against the transfer of detainees at GTMO to the United States. The same restrictions are found in the fiscal year 2016 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) passed by the House recently. Unbelievably, President Obama threat-

ened to veto the NDAA, which includes the language to extend the ban on transferring detainees to U.S. soil. I will work hard to make sure that we have the votes in the House to override the president’s veto. We must ensure that the prohibition on transU.S. Rep. ferring these hardened Mike Coffman terrorists to U.S. soil remains in place. GUEST Closing GTMO COLUMN was an ill-advised campaign promise the president made in 2007 — a promise made before he began receiving classified intelligence updates on the serious threat posed by these individuals. More importantly, there is no precedent for their release. Historically, enemy com-
batants who are captured remain detained until the conflict is resolved and their release no longer poses a threat to the United States nor to its citizens and service members who are overseas. Unfortunately the president continues to place politics above sound policy and our safety. While he has yet to transfer any GTMO detainees to the U.S., the president has released some of them to other countries. As of March 2015, the Director of National Intelligence reported that 29 percent of detainees released from GTMO have engaged in or were suspected of engaging in terrorist or insurgent activity. Those who remain in Guantanamo are the “worst of the worst,” so it is safe to presume that if released an even higher percentage of them will remain a threat to our national security. The Obama administration views terrorists and terrorist attacks as just another criminal justice problem and thinks these terrorists should be afforded all of the due Coffman continues on Page 11

A safer smoke? Entrepreneurs say yes Littleton now home to two ‘vape’ stores
By Jennifer Smith jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com For the last two years, Lili Phounesavath has just sat back and watched as her business got totally vaporized over and over. But as the owner of a store called Vapo Smokes, Phounesavath thinks that’s a pretty good thing. On a recent Friday afternoon, her little store in the Broadway Square shopping center, 5501 S. Broadway, was filled with a steady stream of mostly millennials looking to light up an alternative to cigarettes. “We don’t do any advertising, it’s just mostly word of mouth,” said Phounesavath. “We’re honest on what we sell people, and what’s not right for them.” To “vape,” as it’s called, one needs an electronic gadget filled with vape “juice.” It’s inhaled like a cigarette, but emits more vapor than cigarettes do smoke. The flavored juices may or may not have either tobacco-derived or synthetic nicotine. When you consider that cigarettes have literally thousands of chemicals, proponents of vaping say it’s safer and even a way to help smokers quit. “I quit the first day I started vaping,” said Phounesavath. “Once you start, and you have a cigarette, your cigarette starts to taste stale and it smells very bad to you.” Until recently, Vapo Smokes was the only store selling such products in the area. Cantina Vapes has opened in the former Quality Auto Sound building, 309 W. Littleton Blvd., which had been vacant for about two years. The owners are going all out, with work under way to create a science fictionthemed vaping lounge. They plan on hav-

ing live music, video-game stations with projectors, vapor-blowing contests (think smoke rings), movie nights and a place for vapers to just hang out. “We want to bring the community together and offer a place everyone feels comfortable coming to, to take a load off, enjoy themselves and maybe make some friends,” said store manager Carter Lowden. Lowden says he never smoked cigarettes, but took up vaping as a hobby to placate his sweet tooth. He likes experimenting with different flavors, like blueberry muffin or lemon meringue pie. But assistant manager Justin Walsh says his mom, who had smoked for 25 years, quit by vaping and even weaned herself off of nicotine. The juice comes with different levels of nicotine from about the equivalent of a pack of cigarettes a day down to zero, allowing for gradual reduction. “I’ve probably helped 100 people quit smoking, and that is so gratifying,” said Walsh. While the official verdict is not in on whether vaping is better for you than smoking, proponents point out that the American Lung Association and other organizations that have come out against it fail to make a distinction between vaping and electronic cigarettes, which are mass produced by tobacco companies. Both Vapo Smokes and Cantina Vapes make their own concoctions in house using just vegetable glycerine as a base, propylene glycol, which is a liquid alcohol also found in asthma inhalers, the same kinds of flavoring found in soda pop and other food products, and nicotine if the customer wants it. Still, Littleton City Council is currently considering a ban on smoking downtown, which includes all forms of tobacco and electronic devices, though it wouldn’t affect either of the vape stores.

play. Two other south metro athletes placed. Heritage’s Ben Blea captured third at No. 3 singles while Mountain Vista’s Ben Antonsen was fourth at No. 1 singles. Mitchell came out strong and held off Boulder’s Cutter Esson for a 6-3, 7-6 win to give Creek its lone singles title “I played great,” said Mitchell. “I was so nervous. I just came out, I was loose and ready to go. He played great as well. I just came out on top.” Mitchell led 4-1 and 5-2 in the second set, but Esson staged a spirited rally before losing the tiebreaker. “It was really good to win the first set. That took a little pressure off, but after you win that set you have to treat it like you lost it and go out and battle as hard as you can,” added Mitchell. “He came back, hit some great shots in the second set and battled. I hung in there. The finish line was within reach and I got it.” James, a junior who was a No. 3 doubles state champion last season, trailed 5-1 in the third set, climbed back to within 5-4, but lost the No. 1 singles title match. Kat Smith of Boulder started hitting more lobs and took advantage of some unforced errors from James to win 5-7, 6-4, 6-4. “He changed his game a little bit in the third set,” said James. “I tried to adjust to it but didn’t have enough time. The team won, and that was important.” Results of final matches for south metro players at the State High School Tennis Championships Oct. 17 at Gates Tennis Center are as follows: No. 1 Singles Championship - Kap Smith, Boulder, def.

Congregation member Pentecost” when followers had a direct experience with God. Pentecostals study the fundamentals of the Bible but also rely on experience. They believe in speaking in tongues, an unknown language that signifies God’s presence. They’re baptized in Jesus’ name when they first speak in tongues with the Holy Ghost. And their services are unique — energetic and spiritually vibrant, punctuated with song and physical expression that members say reflect their abundant love for God. Prayer is also important because it ignites the Holy Ghost. “You can feel the moving of the spirit of the Lord,” said Krystal Gibson, a member of Landmark Tabernacle for many years. Andrea Day and her husband, Jesse, have attended Landmark Tabernacle’s main campus in Lakewood since they moved to Highlands Ranch about 11 years ago. They attended a Bible study nearby at
Hood’s home for 1 ½ years before organizing Landmark Tabernacle South, the church’s first satellite location. “Our vision was always to grow and have our own space here in Highlands Ranch,” Day said. At Landmark Tabernacle, the service begins with song. Lori Hood, director of music and Hood’s wife, stands at the front of the stage with a drummer, bass player, pianist and three singers behind her. Her voice echoes through the room as she sings. The energy shifts. The men and women start singing, shouting, jumping and waving hands in the air. The room quiets as Hood steps onto the stage. His topic this evening is cleansing the spiritual body. “The negativity around you day to day can drain you,” he says. “You need that spiritual B12 — that Holy Ghost Red Bull.” Hood paces back and forth. Some in the audience yell “Right! Right!” Others nod in agreement. One woman fights back tears. A man shakes his head back and forth. Everyone is moving in one way

The service is alive. “You can really feel the love of God and feel him speaking through,” said Natalie Hood, 21, the eldest of Hood’s four children. “It’s a very outward worship.” The service ends how it began — with song. A few women wipe away tears and clear their throats. Hood mingles among the congregation as members shake hands and hug each other. They smile as they leave the cafeteria, where a tranquil stillness has replaced the exuberant energy. “Some people go to church as a tradition,” Day said. “We go to develop a relationship with God.”

Tour touches on history, beauty New Mexico, Colorado trip offers insights into cultures By Sonya Ellingboe sellingboe@colorado communitymedia.com A number of years ago, members of the Littleton Friends of the Library who shared an interest in history organized a trip to visit a historic Western fort. The trip also involved good food and conversation and a look at interesting spots most hadn’t seen before. Since then, trips have been organized most years: to Kansas along the Santa Fe Trail, where forts were built to protect merchants and settlers; to several New Mexico locations; north to Wyoming and tales of Custer; and to some former military sites in Colorado. On Oct. 8, a big green bus headed south from Littleton toward New Mexico, with more than 50 members on board. The plan was to look at four different cultures — and hopefully, some gorgeous gold aspens. The trip was organized by veteran members Anita and Roy Kannaday and Barb and Stu Brandt, with planning bolstered by a previous trial run by the quartet. Pueblo was the first destination, with a look at Victorian wealth and elaborate lifestyle exemplified by the Thatchers, who built the 37-room Rosemount Mansion in the early 1890s. The property was named for Margaret Thatcher’s favorite flower, and pink rhyolite from Castle Rock was the proper color. It cost about $100,000 to construct and furnish — an enormous amount at that time. Beautiful woodwork, Tiffany chandeliers, handpainted ceilings, English tile on fireplaces made it a true showplace. Rosemount is one of the historic homes in Colorado operated by History Colorado as part of the museum system. Lunch in the Carriage House Restaurant is a possible add-on.
The group headed south toward Taos, across La Veta Pass with a stop at Colorado’s Fort Garland, established in 1858. Here was a look at a military culture, once commanded by Kit Carson (and never attacked). It is maintained as a museum and an interesting stop to see how those early soldiers lived — including a company of Buffalo Soldiers. Arrival in Taos was in late afternoon, with dinner and a performance by a family of Native American dancers, who explained the ceremonial aspects of the chants and dances and of beautifully crafted costumes. Taos Pueblo is said to be the oldest continuously inhabited community in the U.S., with some adobe structures believed to be 1,000 years old. The tour guide, a college boy, said he, like many others, lived outside the pueblo where water and electricity are available, but families retain an ownership of a pueblo home and many maintain it. (Adobe needs annual care.) An ancient cemetery surrounds the ruins of the original San Geronimo Church, built about 1619 by Spanish priests with Indian labor. Forced Catholicism and slavery led to the Pueblo Revolt in 1680. The difficult history continued as settlers moved in, plus U.S. troops under Territorial Gov. Charles Bent. Today, it is a National Historic Landmark and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, where Native Americans teach visitors about their past and present. On a parallel time track, Chimayo was a Spanish colonial village, built in the foothills north of Santa Fe. In the late 1600s, Spanish settlers built the site in the fertile Santa Cruz River Valley, with church added in the early 1800s. The Sanctuario de Chimayo offers sacred dirt that draws pilgrims each who believe it to have healing properties. Among the original settlers were families of weavers, who
This old heavy-duty cart must have hauled food, ammunition, hides, wool and many other loads along the Santa Fe Trail to the Martinez Hacienda in Taos, where it now rests in the sunshine. Someone suggested it was an early U-Haul. Photos by Sonya Ellingboe still produce textiles and run shops in the village where they demonstrate their craft — and sell the colorful products to visitors, as well as wood carvings and pottery from nearby villages. The Rancho de Chimayo, in a restored hacienda built by the Jaramillo family, is a favorite dinner spot in the village. The morning of Oct. 10 brought the group to the Martinez Hacienda on the edge of Taos — a look at Spanish colonial society as well, built in stages starting in 1804 by Severino Martinez as a home and commercial hub on the Santa Fe Trail. Thick adobe walls and a windowless exterior made it function as a fort if
necessary. He also brought trade goods in from Mexico. This is carefully restored and operated as a museum. Finally, the travelers headed through aspen-filled mountains toward Cimarron and the St. James Hotel, circa 1870/80, which was once a stop on the Santa Fe Trail. It takes pride in the bullet holes one can still see in the walls and has a series of portraits of famous gunfighters who shot each other up in the bar. Another facet of the frontier — and one could think that that was still happening when the refined Thatchers built their elegant home in Pueblo.
Super store’s opening was super indeed It was easier to name who wasn’t at the RH, The Gallery at Cherry Creek (Restoration Hardware’s super store) opening soiree on Oct. 14 in the Cherry Creek shopping center then to attempt to call out all 2,500 attendees. The hearty party, ably choreographed by Aiello Public Relations, moved the admiring hordes through all four floors of the home design store that took over the space formerly occupied by Saks Fifth Avenue. While the lookie-loos gawked at all the fabulous fixtures — most notably the chandeliers — they were fueled with fine fare from Epicurean Catering. The party was so massive that the city posted an electronic sign early in the day along First Street warning of traffic issues that evening. Plus, much of the garage parking at the mall was blocked off in anticipation of the valet needs. The new RH store is quite a sight to see. Don’t miss the fourth-floor rooftop garden with spectacular views and outdoor furniture for sale. Davita to be anchor tenant Global private investment firm Starwood Capital Group, through a controlled affiliate, and East West Partners, a Denver-based developer devoted to building, selling, managing and supporting high-quality real estate, announced plans to develop a new 250-foot-tall office building in Denver’s burgeoning Union Station neighborhood. DaVita Healthcare Partners, the leading provider of kidney care services, will serve as the property’s anchor tenant. One of the last buildings to be completed in the Union Station area, the $190 million project — called 16 Chestnut — is essentially two buildings in one, as it fronts both 16th and 17th streets. In expanding its headquarters beyond its current location across the street, DaVita will occupy approximately 265,000 square feet of office space at 16 Chestnut, with its own entrance and lobby. “DaVita believed in our vision for the Union Station neighborhood long before it came to fruition. We are honored that they are entrusting us in making a second home for their teammates,” said Chris

Frampton, managing partner at East West Partners. Groundbreaking is scheduled for July 2016, and DaVita is targeting a move-in date of August 2018. Remaining space available for lease will come to market in January, and the entire building is slated for completion in October 2018.

This exhibition experiments with the forms of language. The artworks use language, and forms related to language, to translate, transform, repeat and contextualize with the goal of exploring the conventions of language from a new perspective …,” says Swanson’s wall text. A walk into the gallery finds the viewer surrounded by black and white shapes, words, patterns, symbols and more — some in motion, most still and precise. It’s inviting from the entrance, drawing the eye to shapes on either side:

Book chronicles life of remarkable woman Crawford put imprint on endangered city
By Sonya Ellingboe sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia.com
Fifty years ago, a young woman was determined to create a “gathering place” for Denver, similar to the ones she fondly recalled in Boston and other New England towns — a place to meet friends for a drink or dinner and “celebrate the city.” In July 1965, Dana Crawford drove and searched through Denver’s older areas in her “puke green” convertible, which broke down one day in the 1400 block of Larimer Street, considered skid row at the time. While some of the crusty local characters got her engine running again, she had time to really look at the buildings and recognize good lines and strong possibilities. She went to the library to research the history and learned that this block was really where Denver began … The 50-year anniversary of Larimer Square is celebrated this year, calling attention to Crawford and her extensive effect on Denver, as she is celebrated and honored. t For several years newsman/author eMike McPhee of Denver tried to talk .Crawford into letting him write a book about her and her accomplishments and she kept refusing — but one day, she called and said “yes.” The result is a handsome, photo-filled volume that makes a fine contribution to the Colorado history shelf: “Dana Crawford — 50 Years Saving the Soul of a City.” McPhee appeared at Bemis Library in Littleton on Sept. 22 to talk about this remarkable woman, who has been honored locally and nationally for her skill and imagination as a developer. In 1995, The National Trust for Historic Preservation honored her with its highest award. McPhee started his lecture with her early years in Salina, Kansas, her education in Kansas and in New England and her arrival in Denver to work in public relations (with William Zeckendorf among others) — and to ski and party.
An early Rocky Mountain News photo of Dana Crawford planning the restoration of Larimer Square. Courtesy photos She met and married John Crawford, had four boys and focused in earnest on her dream. She used her charm and businessoriented mind to convince friends and acquaintances to invest with her — partly with a model of the block she built at home. At the time, the Denver Urban Renewal Authority was formed, with the objective of demolishing the old buildings in what we now call LoDo. Many were leveled, the land turned into parking lots when no developers appeared to build on them. The 1400 block on Larimer was on the demolition list and Crawford knew she had to move quickly, despite opposition and bankers’ reluctance to finance. On Dec. 28, 1965, a banjo beer hall called Your Father’s Moustache opened and a line of customers formed around the corner. Other businesses followed: the Bratskellar, the 1421 Club, Poor Richard’s leather shop, Gusterman’s Silversmiths

(which is still there) and Café Promenade. Crawford and her husband managed the area at the time, dealing with leases, collecting rent and selecting compatible tenants. She started a couple of businesses herself: Victoriana Antique Jewelry and The Market, modeled after Dean & DeLuca in New York City. In 1986, she sold the square to the Hahn Company, which had purchased the Tivoli Brewery nearby. In 1970, she worked with others to start Historic Denver when the Molly Brown House was threatened with demolition. In 1980, she purchased the run-down Oxford Hotel, and after a rocky start and two bankruptcies, partnered with Walter Isenberg and Sage Hospitality to renovate and remarket the Oxford, where the wonderful Cruise Room bar is located. At some point, Denver Post writer Dick Kreck started calling the lower downtown area “LoDo” and the name stuck,

Sherlock Holmes exhibit offers fun for all ages
By Sonya Ellingboe sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia.com Sherlock Holmes has 221 B Baker St. address are enjoying renewed worldwide popularity in TV, film and now an imaginative exhibit, “The International Exhibit of Sherlock Holmes,” which arrives Oct. 23 at the Denver Museum of Nature & Science. Readers will be familiar with the stories developed more than a century ago by Arthur Conan Doyle, a doctor-turnedauthor. His popular books about Sherlock Holmes combined science with crimesolving methods of his time. Keen observation, testing and deduction are still key to crime-solving, although the tools may have evolved. Doyle’s books were set in the Victorian society of Holmes’ contemporaries and some of Sherlock’s methods are valid today. He influenced the development of techniques for solving real mysteries. The exhibit includes elaborate stage sets, exhibits in Victorian style, handson equipment, costumes and props that should appeal to the many dedicated Sherlock fans, as well as to families with curious kids. (We hope those children will discover the very readable books as well. While written for adults, with sometimes complex plots, they are well-crafted, entertaining reading for anyone 10 and older.) A visit to another world always stretches the imagination. Visitors will observe a crime scene in a Victorian home and analyze evidence. Experiments will be available about ballistics, forensics and other techniques used today and one will see historic manuscripts, illustrations, letters and forensic specimens that inspired Doyle to create Sherlock. Holmes’ funny-looking invention for checking footprints is among the exhibits.

although McPhee says Crawford didn’t like it. She worked with John Hickenlooper to create the Wynkoop Brewery and Lofts (where she lived for a time). Eastern city lofts in restored warehouses intrigued her and she started with the Edbrook and Acme Lofts despite those who said no one would want to live down there. They sold well and she continued into the Central Platte Valley area where she developed the Flour Mill Loft at 20th and Little Raven, where she lives today. And that area led to involvement with Union Station, where she again took a leading development role — and where the hotel is, appropriately, named for her. The book ends with a photo of Crawford, at 80, waving a magic wand at the July 2014 opening of Union Station. McPhee’s book is available at Tattered Cover Bookstores. One will watch to see what happens next as a result of Crawford’s energy and imagination.

THINK OUTSIDE THE CEREAL BOX
T
he breakfast table is where many families gather on weekend mornings to start their days with a hearty meal and some equally hearty conversation. Families who have grown tired of cereal or scrambled eggs can forgo traditional breakfast fare in favor of something a little more flavorful and unique, such as the following recipe for “Pan-Fried Eggs and Mixed Mushroom Sauté on Toasted Sourdough Slices” from Betty Rosbottom’s “Sunday Brunch” (Chronicle Books).
Pan-Fried Eggs and Mixed Mushroom Sauté on Toasted Sourdough Slices Serves 4 Mushroom Sauté 1¼ ounces mixed dried mushrooms 1½ cups boiling water 3 tablespoons olive oil 8 ounces sliced brown mushrooms 2 teaspoons minced garlic 1 teaspoon dried crushed rosemary Kosher salt Freshly ground black pepper Toast and Eggs 4 ½-inch-thick sourdough slices, halved if the slices are extra large 2 tablespoons unsalted butter 4 eggs Olive oil Kosher salt Freshly ground black pepper Rosemary sprigs for garnish (optional)
1. For the Mushroom Sauté: Place the dried mushrooms in a medium bowl and cover with the boiling water. Let stand until softened, 20 minutes. Strain in a sieve lined with a double thickness of paper towels and reserve the soaking liquid. Coarsely chop the mushrooms. 2. Heat the olive oil in a medium, heavy frying pan set over medium heat. When hot, add the brown mushrooms and sauté, stirring often, for 6 minutes. Add the reserved mushrooms, garlic, rosemary and 1⁄2 teaspoon salt; stir for 1 minute. Add the mushroom liquid and cook, stirring until it has evaporated, 4 to 7 minutes. Season with salt and several grinds of pepper. Remove the frying pan from the heat and cover with foil to keep warm. (The mushrooms can be prepared 1 day ahead; cool, cover and refrigerate. Reheat, stirring, over medium heat.) 3. For the toast and eggs: Brush both sides of the bread slices generously with olive oil. Set a 10- to 11-inch by 25- to 28-centimeter nonstick frying pan over medium-high heat and, when hot, add the bread and cook until lightly browned, about 2 minutes per side. Remove the toast and cover loosely with foil. When the pan is cool enough to handle, wipe it out with clean paper towels. 4. Add the butter to the frying pan and set it over medium heat. When the butter starts to foam, break an egg into a saucer, being careful to remove any shell fragments, and gently slide it into the frying pan. Repeat with the remaining eggs. Immediately reduce the heat to low and cook, basting the eggs with some of the butter in the pan frequently, until the whites are firm and the yolks are still soft and runny, 3 minutes. 5. While the eggs are cooking, arrange a toasted bread slice on each of four plates. Mound the mushrooms evenly over the toast. 6. Remove each egg with a spatula and arrange on top of the mushrooms. Season with salt and pepper and, if desired, garnish each serving with a rosemary sprig. Serve immediately. Cooking note: If you can’t find dried crushed rosemary, crush regular dried rosemary in an electric spice mill or place it in a self-sealing plastic bag and roll over it with a rolling pin.

Group celebrates Colorado poet Lois Beebe Hayna still at work as she reaches age 102
EXPERIENCE THE ALL NEW SOUTHWEST PLAZA
By Sonya Ellingboe sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia.com On a Sunday afternoon, Sept. 27, a circle of women gathered at Littleton’s Bemis Library to celebrate a Colorado Springs and Denver poet, Lois Beebe Hayna, and read from her many published books. At 102, Hayna is still writing and teaching, although she doesn’t see well. In 2014, she was awarded the Colorado Authors’ League Lifetime Achievement Award, newly established. In 2009, Regis University awarded Hayna an honorary Ph.D., and there is a collection of her papers at the university’s Dayton Memorial Library, where the Lois Beebe Hayna Creative Writing Center was dedicated in 2010. Hayna has touched the lives of hundreds of Colorado writers with her classes and critiques, including Barbara Lundy, who escorted her to the reading. She recently moved to Michigan to live with a granddaughter, but returns to Colorado frequently to be with friends. In a time when girls often left school early, her Wisconsin mother insisted she complete high school, and she got a scholarship to attend the University of Wisconsin at Madison, where she majored in home economics, but took as many creative writing classes as possible. Life happened and the writing dried up. She really started writing poetry in her 60s and published a number of books. In following years, she met with writers at her breakfast table, helping them construct and polish their words. She still writes on a computer, although she is not able to read what she’s written. A new book is in the works, which will have a cover designed from a painting by her local friend, Mary Kay Jacobus of the Heritage Fine Arts Guild, who organized the reading event. Her thoughtful poetry is based on ideas
NOW OPEN Poet Lois Beebe Hayna, 102, appeared at Bemis Library in September for a poetry reading from her books. Photo courtesy of Beatrice Drury that she turns over in her mind. In her recent book, “Lagniappe,” which means a little extra, she has a group of untitled poems, including: Stone in a pool. From that moment Only ripples and re-ripples, the water shuddering on and on From the initial disturbance. Unable to forget. Or unwilling to forgive? Lest you think for a moment Any small happening lacks its consequence. Lest you fail to notice its moral. Do you tire of morals as I do? I say: Let something occur and be done. Be quieted. I am lifetime-weary Of unshocking those ripples.

Arapahoe adjusts in win over rival Creek Warriors hold on to beat Bruins 1-0 By Jim Benton jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com Arapahoe and Cherry Creek are longtime soccer rivals, but the outcomes haven’t been going the Warriors’ way until Oct. 13. The Warriors, which came into the Centennial League game at Arapahoe with a 1-5-1 record over the past seven games against the Bruins, defeated Creek 1-0 in a match between league unbeaten teams played at Arapahoe. “I’m happy,” said Arapahoe coach Mark Hampshire. “We started off a little bit slow. I’m not sure why. Maybe it was kind of the excitement and nerves playing against Creek. We love playing against Creek. They are such a solid team. We calmed down. We got our game plan back in action. We adjusted our formation a little bit and we had a senior captain come up big for us.” The win over Creek was Arapahoe’s 10th straight game and pushed the Warriors close to the Centennial title. The Warriors (6-0-1 and 10-1-3) clinched the league crown with a 0-0 tie against Cherokee Trail on Oct. 17. Cherry Creek, which came back after the loss to Arapahoe with a 4-1 win over Smoky Hill, improved to 4-1-0 and 8-4-1 overall. Key moments Wilmer Ramirez was that senior captain who came up big for Arapahoe when he scored on a left-foot kick from just outside the goal box during the 43rd minute. “I’m not known for being able to take shots with my left so it was kind of a surprise for me with it going in like that,” said Ramirez. “It was just in the heat of the moment I guess. It was just the way we started working as a team in the second half.” Key players/statistics Chris Grauberger assisted on Ramirez’s goal, and Arapahoe goalie James Conley was credited with 11 saves. After the Ramirez goal, Cherry Creek kept plenty of pressure on the Arapahoe goal although many of the Bruins’ shot sailed wide of the net. They said it “I’m not a big fan of playing defense,” Hampshire said of Arapahoe’s late-game strategy on packing the defense in front of Conley. “They pressed. We had to make

Arapahoe won 1-0. some adjustments. Our guys were tired. They were exploiting some stuff on our flanks so we had to be patient and be smart. “We have forwards that can hold the ball pretty well. Creek was not going to give up. They are a very good team and well coached. We just had to be smart, and they had chances. That’s the kind of game we expect out of an ArapahoeCreek game.” “We had our chances, we just didn’t finish,” admitted Cherry Creek coach Chelo Curi. “It just wasn’t our day to finish. We’re playing much better than we were at the beginning of the year. We just have to get a little better. We let them off the hook a few times by shooting everywhere but at the net.” “Winners find ways to win,” said Hampshire “I’ve always believed that and preached that. It’s a true team, we don’t have a star that everything rests on. Championships are won that way. I’m very proud of them, but we still have a ton of work to do.” Curi hopes the loss with help the Bruins. “We’ll learn from the game and be better,” he said. “You learn more from losses than from wins.” Going forward The first round of the Class 5A state playoffs begins Oct. 29.

Former Littleton swimming coach Maurice “Stringy” Ervin and Cherry Creek swimmer Amy Van Dyken-Rouen will be among those inducted into the Colorado High School Activities AssociaJim Benton tion Hall of Fame during ceremonies OVERTIME scheduled for Jan. 27 at the Radisson Hotel-Denver. Ervin was a three-sport letterman for the Lions and led them to state football and basketball championships. He volunteered to be the Littleton swim coach when nobody else could be found, although he didn’t know much about the sport. He researched and learned on the fly, which helped him guide Lions teams to 12 boys and girls state titles. He was always easy to spot at state meets with his purple-checked pants. And he’s always gone with his nickname of Stringy, which was given to him by his father and former Littleton principal, Maurice Sr., who liked philosopher William Stringfellow. Van Dyken-Rouen won six Olympic gold medals after a standout career at Cherry Creek, where she set two state records and led the Bruins to four state titles. After suffering a spinal injury, she has become an instrumental spokesperson for Paralympic athletes. Longtime Englewood High School band director Jeff Gerardi, who is a former director of the Denver Broncos band, will also be inducted. He was the Englewood High School band director from 1967-1988 and was the citizen of the year in Englewood in 1994. A solid foundation Mountain Vista knows that a good foundation is an excellent way to build a strong cross-country program. Vista coach Jonathan Dalby credits the program at Mountain Ridge Middle School as of the reason for the Golden Eagles’ recent varsity cross-county success. The Golden Eagles boys have won the past three Class 5A state championships and swept all three (varsity, junior varsity and open) races in the Continental League championships for the past three seasons. The girls have notched Continental League sweeps three of the past four years and finished in the top five at state in 2012 and 2013. Stop by Mountain Vista and on most fall and spring afternoons there are a groups of athletes of high-school age and younger running together. “Coaches Karen Sprakfe, Jermey Estell, Andrea Beckett and Cathie Knutson run the best middle school cross-county program in Colorado,” claimed Dalby. “They are the most dedicated group of middle school coaches I have every met and do a great job of focusing on getting kids to enjoy the sport of running, rather than on high-level training before kids are ready. “Focusing on high-level training when kids are too young is a mistake that I see a lot of club-level teams make. We are fortunate to have a group of coaches at the middle level that want to focus on helping kids create a passion for our sport rather than pushing them too hard when they are young.” McCaffrey stirs up memories Christian McCaffrey, a sophomore at Stanford, is doing this fall what he did at Valor Christian with his abilities to dominate a football game. McCaffrey finished with 369 yards of total offense in a 56-35 win over UCLA on Oct. 15. It was the most all-purpose yards this season by any FBS player. He ran for a school record 243 yards on 25 carries and scored four touchdowns. He also had a 96-yard kickoff return, but didn’t score. Benton continues on Page 25

Mountain Vista claims Continental meet Golden Eagles cross-county runners win all six races By Jim Benton jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com Last June during a team goal-setting barbecue, one of the main objects for the Mountain Vista cross-country runners was to win all six Continental League team and individual titles. That goal was accomplished Oct. 14 during the Continental League CrossCounty Championships on a warm afternoon at Shea Stadium. Vista won the boys and girls varsity races, junior varsity races and open division races. Golden Eagles runners won individual titles in all six races. The top five runners from each school count in the team standings and 27 of the 30 runners that finished among the top five in each race were from Mountain Vista. ”I am really proud of how the kids ran for each other to accomplish our most importan team goal of the season by winning each race,” said coach Jonathan Dalby. Mountain Vista senior Paxton Smith won the boys varsity race with a time 16:49, while Golden Eagles sophomore Allie Chipman was the girls champion as she finished four seconds ahead of Legend senior Catherine Liggett. Chipman’s winning time was 18:26. Smith said the game plan for the boys was to run in a pack, and when it was time near the finish he pulled away. Only Rock Canyon sophomore Chris Theodore broke up a pack of six Mountain Vista runners
when he came in fourth. Vista’s girls ran in little packs as Chipman and Liggett were paired together most of the race. “Our goal was to win as a team,” said Chipman. “Our plan was a little different, to have little packs. We kind of knew who was in the race and planned who to run with from other schools. Catherine is a very respectable runner, and I’m glad I get to compete against her.” Liggett relishes competiting against Chipman. “I compete against Allie a lot in races and it’s really exciting to go up against her because I know we’re going to press each other the whole time,” she said. “Allie is a very good competior so being able to stick with her throughout the race, I felt really good.” Vista’s defending Class 5A state champion boys team wound up with 17 points to easily win the varsity team championship as Rock Canyon (76 points) was second and Legend (102) third. The Golden Eagles varsity girls wound up with 26 points as Rock Canyon (95) was second and ThunderRidge third (99). Runners and teams must qualify in region meets to advance to the Oct. 31 State Meet in Colorado Springs. Mountain Vista will be among the teams competing in the Region 5 meet Oct. 23 at Rock Canyon High School. The qualifying proceedure states that the top five teams consisting of five to nine members with five scoring advance along with all athletes that finish in the top 15 places. In action in other leagues:
Centennial Arapahoe senior Steven Goldy won the varsity boys Centennial League Championship meet on Oct. 15 at Aurora Sports Park with a time of 15:34, with Cherry Creek’s Kyle Moran finishing a distant second. The Warriors won the boys team title with 39 points and Creek was third. In the girls varsity race, Cherry Creek won the team championship with Araphoe finishing fourth. Senior Lillian Markusch and junior Devon Peterson finished second the third respecitvely to pace the Bruins. 3A Metro Defending Class 3A state championship senior Ben Butler of SkyView Academy won Metro League Championship boys varsity race in Broomfield with a time of 15:52, with teammate Jimmy Scavuzzo finishing second at 17:21. SkyView Academy was crowned the boys team champion with the Hawks’ varsity girls team was third. Junior Cassie Unruh of SkyView was a third-place finisher in the girls varsity race with a time of 19:44.00.

However, Valor will be seeking revenge when the teams meet for the third time on Oct. 23 at Valor. Creek defeated Valor twice last season with the first win in a Centennial League game, ending the Eagles’ 28-game winning streak against Colorado teams. The Bruins claimed an epic 25-24 win in last season’s Class 5A state championship game, which denied Valor a sixth consecutive state championship. Valor (3-0, 5-2 overall) is tied with Grandview for the Centennial League lead while Cherry Creek (2-1, 6-1) is coming off a 28-20 loss to Grandview. Creek is ranked No. 2 in the CHSAANow.com poll and Valor is third.
Championship game rematch Valor Christian doesn’t feel it has had time to build a football rivalry with Cherry Creek since the schools have only played twice.

David Fitzgerald-Crosby recently closed the popular Blueberries bakery in the Woodlawn Shopping Center to focus on his downtown Denver eatery, Duck Soup. File photo
Customers blue over Blueberries’ closing Woodlawn bakery will be reincarnated, says former owner
Some other notable developments in Littleton’s restaurant scene:
By Jennifer Smith jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com
• McKinner’s Pizza Bar on Main Street is nearing completion of its expansion into the storefront to its east.
David Fitzgerald-Crosby wants his loyal customers to know he didn’t get run out of Woodlawn Shopping Center by the center’s new owners, nor did he suddenly run into financial disaster. He just traded in his Blueberries for some Duck Soup. “I definitely had mixed emotions selling Blueberries,” he said. “After 10 years, a lot of my customers are my friends now. It’s definitely bittersweet. But I have to take care of my future, my retirement, my daughter.” The bakery’s last day, Oct. 7, was a hectic one. As the news started to spread that
• Old Mill Brewery on Rapp Street is under new ownership as of last month. • Delizio’s on Main Street is closed. • Sizzle Burgers on Littleton Boulevard is closed. Fitzgerald-Crosby had given his employees just a day’s notice — “This is the worst day of my life,” said one young man — loyal customers converged on the store to get one last scone or muffin. Everything was free on that last day. But Fitzgerald-Crosby said the short
• The old Jose’s on Main Street is being transformed into Fuzzy’s Tacos. • Work continues on The View House on Main Street. • Taco House on Littleton Boulevard remains closed, with no visible activity over the last few months. notice was just business, to make sure everyone stayed to keep the store operable until the sale of the business was fairly certain. He gave them two weeks severance pay, he said. “They were a top-notch staff, one of the best I have ever had,” he said. “They
just knocked it out of the park.” Fitzgerald-Crosby had been trying to sell the store for a while, since his new store in downtown Denver started taking off. Duck Soup specializes in fresh-made soups, which he says the market is hot for right now. “I’d been running them both for two years, with different concepts, which is tough,” he said. “But the downtown store experienced more growth than I anticipated.” Assuming everything goes as expected, the new owners will replace Blueberries with a “paleo diet” bakery, meaning lots of raw foods, lean proteins and glutenfree pastries. “I had so many offers, but nobody wanted to take it as Blueberries, which was unfortunate. But I picked this one because I think they’re going to be a good fit.”
Salomess Stars Salome FOR RELEASE WEEK OF OCT. 19, 2015 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Some flashes of Aries ire might erupt as you confront an unusually bewildering situation. But you should be able to keep your temper under control as you work through it. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) That marriage ‘twixt the arts and practicality that Taureans excel at once again highlights your enjoyment of much of the week. However, you need to watch any sudden urge to splurge. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Even with all the plusses apparently outweighing the minuses, you still might want to defer an important decision to make sure you have all the facts you need. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) One or two problems might threaten to derail otherwise smoothly running situations at work or at home. But a few well-placed words should help get things back on track quickly. LEO (July 23 to August 22) This could be a good time for all you Leos and Leonas in the spotlight to open your generous Lion’s hearts and share the glory with those who helped you accomplish so much along the way. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) You might want to get advice from someone who’s been there and knows these situations better than you do, before investing time or money (or both) in a questionable matter. LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Be careful how you handle a workplace matter that seems out of place in the schedule you’ve prepared. Before you act, one way or another, find out who set it up and why. SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Your entertainment aspect is strong this week. Besides providing a wonderful break from everyday obligations, sharing fun times brings you closer to those you care for. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Having a weekend fun fest? Your friend or relative who’s down in the emotional dumps could perk up if you find a way to include him or her in your plans.
Super Crossword & Sudoku Answers
CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) If you’re in one of those “the Goat knows best” periods, you might want to ease up and try listening to what others have to say. You could learn something. AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) That new challenge is getting closer, and you should be out there now showing facts and figures to potential allies to help persuade them to rally to your support. Good luck. PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Getting a head start on holiday plans could help free up some time later to spend on other projects. Meanwhile, a colleague has some ideas that you might find worth discussing. BORN THIS WEEK: You are always there for others, and sometimes you need to be reminded that you need to be there for yourself as well. © 2015 King Features Synd., Inc.
