jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com The Littleton Public Schools Foundation annual Spirit Celebration on April 11 was a resounding success, selling out 570 seats for the first time ever and raising well over $200,000 to support a wide variety of programs throughout the district. “That’s a true testament to a wonderful community full of caring and invested people,” said Beth Best, LPSF executive director. This year’s event was dedicated to outgoing Superintendent Scott Murphy, who is retiring in June. “Scott has made us better, has made us stronger, has made us more effective in our mission to serve Littleton Public Schools,” said Best. “He’s challenged us, made us laugh, made us cry and made us flourish.” Proving that LPS students are indeed flourishing was Innovation Alley, where kids from throughout the district showed off their techie skills. In keeping with the spirit of the evening, Goddard Middle School students Ellie Fajer and Dunham Perry created a Scott Murphy robot that keeps going and going until it’s turned off, but an ultrasonic sensor keeps it from running into anything. Other exhibits included kindergartners using iPads, award-winning student newspapers and yearbooks, artwork, design projects, Ted talks and more. Mom Andrea Myers Culhane, a Realtor and sponsor of the event, thanked the foundation for allowing her kids to have access to a wide range of experiences such as these. “My kids are thriving and turning into incredible young adults … in a large part because of the incredible schools they’ve attended,” she said. “The education, extracurricular activities and social experiences that they’ve received at Wilder, Goddard and now Heritage have been second to none.” The LPS Foundation will support many more such projects next year. A grant to Heritage High School will build a “quadcopter” drone that will allow quadriplegics to regain freedom of movement and commu-

Murphy asked that the fund be dedicated to the social and mental well-being of all LPS students. “We have the ability to recognize when kids have needs,” said Jack Reutzel, LPS board president. “The most important thing in our lives is how we impact children, and how they become successful.”
Goddard Middle School students created a Superintendent Scott Murphy robot to display on Innovation Avenue, where students from throughout the district show off their techie achievements to attendees of the annual Spirit Dinner fundraiser for Littleton Public Schools.

things to know about Brian Ewert
Superintendent signs pact New Littleton Public Schools leader commits for three years By Jennifer Smith
jsmith@colorado communitymedia.com Brian Ewert made it official on April 9 by signing a three-year contract with Littleton Public Schools, and will start his job as the district’s new superintendent on July 1. “This is quite an honor and very humbling,” he said, adding that he’s following some “fantastic” superintendents in a “diamond” of a school district. “We value Brian’s experience as a superintendent,” said Jack Reutzel, LPS board president. “It is fundamentally important and
gives him the ability to step in and continue the tradition of excellence in LPS. Brian shares our community’s values for choice, which includes charter schools, magnet schools, open enrollment and preferences within the district.” Ewert will make $220,000 a year. Scott Murphy, who is retiring after serving as LPS superintendent since 2006, has an annual salary of $239,051. “Brian brings a lot of the personal attributes that everyone has appreciated in Scott,” said board member Lucie Stanish. Murphy, too, placed his stamp of approval on his successor. “I’ve had the pleasure of working with Brian as a superintendent of a neighboring district, and I am confident that he is a great fit for LPS,” said Murphy.

Ewert is the current chair of the Denver Area School Superintendents Council, which represents 23 school districts and more than 70 percent of the students in Colorado.
Ewert is the 2015 Colorado Superintendent of the Year, designated by the Colorado Association of School Executives. He will represent Colorado in the 2015 American Association of School Administrators National Superintendent of the Year program
Ewert is an adjunct faculty member at the University of Northern Colorado, teaching education leadership classes.

Megan King, of Centennial, talks with a camper at Jackson Lake State Park last summer to advocate the use of the recycling program. King earned her Girl Scout Gold Award by starting the recycling program. Courtesy photos
Jordan Arnell, of Centennial, earned her Girl Scout Gold Award for a project in which she organized, supplied and decorated a library for St. Elizabeth’s School, a low-income, private school near the Denver Zoo.
Local Girl Scouts earn prestigious Gold Award Centennial youths’ projects help improve community By Christy Steadman csteadman@colorado communitymedia.com
The Gold Award is the highest honor Girl Scouts can earn. And they must truly earn it, said Girl Scouts spokeswoman AnneMarie Harper. “It asks girls to look at themselves and find out what their interests are,” Harper said. Then, “how can they use that interest to do something good for the community?” Gold Award projects also must have some sort of sustainability. “Their project has to have an impact for years to come,” Harper said. “It has to live on long after they finish it.” Two teen Girl Scouts from Centennial earned their Gold Award for two very different
community-based projects this year. Jordan Arnell earned her Gold Award for a project in which she organized, supplied and decorated a library for St. Elizabeth’s School, a low-income, private school near the Denver Zoo. Megan King started a recycling program at Jackson Lake State Park, which is located about two hours northeast of Centennial. Arnell is an avid reader, she said, which was the inspiration behind her project. The project also includes an annual book swap. “With as much reading I do for fun and school, I think knowing how to read, and enjoying it, is incredibly important for building a foundation for education,” Arnell said. “I believe all kids should have opportunities to read in a kid-friendly, encouraging environment — and have access to both library books and books of their own.” Arnell donated a few of her personal books for the effort, but also received “a huge donation” from Homestead Elementary and Colorado Academy, she said.
Arnell’s project exemplifies the work and dedication it takes to earn the Gold Award, and why recipients are so special, said Arnell’s Gold Award mentor Rae Ann Doughterty. It is a “true take-action” project, she added. “She was able to take one of her loves and expand it to other people,” Doughterty said, “and help make it become one of their loves.” Camping has been a part of King’s life since she was about 6 weeks old, she said. In July 2012, she was on a family camping trip, and happened to look over to the trash bins. “They were overflowing,” she said. “That’s when it hit me.” King worked with Waste Management and Colorado Parks & Wildlife to get a recycling bin and develop a fee structure. The park collected 1,700 pounds of recycled items within the first eight months of the recycling project’s launch. Campers use a lot of recyclable items, King said, such as plastic water bottles, aluminum cans, cardboard boxes and glass containers.
“It is a shame to throw it all away,” she said. “Outdoorsy people want to preserve the environment they enjoy.” King spent about 85 hours planning and advocating her project, but the most memorable moment came from interaction with a 10-year-old boy, she said. “He listened as I explained my project to his parents, and when I was about to leave, he brought me six bottles to contribute to the recycling bin,” King said. “It was so promising to see such a young boy excited about the new project.” The Gold Award is an individual effort, not a troop effort, Harper said. It is not required for Girl Scouts, and not every Girl Scout pursues it. Additionally, it takes about two years to complete a Girl Scout project. “All Gold Awards are meant to stretch the individual girl from what she is used to,” Doughterty said. “They get the experience of it feels like to truly make a difference in the world.”
Not all mammograms are alike. Compared to a 2D scan, 3D mammography detects cancer 40% earlier, results in fewer callbacks for additional imaging, and only takes 20 minutes.

LEGO tour stops at Park Meadows Replicas of national monuments on display through April 26 By Jane Reuter
jreuter@coloradocommunitymedia.com Intricately detailed replicas of 10 national monuments made of LEGO bricks are on display throughout Park Meadows mall through April 26. The displays are part of a 10-city traveling installation called LEGO American Roadshow: Building Across America. The largescale models include the U.S. Capitol, White House, Supreme Court, Lincoln Memorial and the Liberty Bell, among others. Though the structures look delicate, road show manager Andrew Little said the pieces are glued and the replicas are permanent. Most are on coasters for easy transportation between stops. The U.S. Capitol building is the largest of the buildings on display at Park Meadows. It is 26 feet wide and 9 feet tall. Little wouldn’t say how many pieces it took to make the replica. Mall guests are asked to take a guess in exchange for a prize. LEGO design teams crafted the structures. It took 400 hours to build the Lincoln Memorial. “It’s impressive,” said Edwards resident Peter Law, visiting the mall with his daughter, Emily. “It’s really wild for us because a couple summers ago, we saw the real Liberty Bell.”
Peter Law and his daughter Emily, both of Edwards, check out a LEGO version of the Lincoln Memorial on display at Park Meadows mall April 9. It is among several replicas of national landmarks on display there through April 26. Photos by Jane Reuter The bell is the only one among the displays that is life-sized. A LEGO play area has also been set up during the roadshow. From noon to 4 p.m. April 18 and 19 in the Macy’s Court area, visitors can build their own mini monument to take home.
Also new at the mall
Park Meadows is making some changes at its Dining Hall. By June, Colorado’s own Chipotle Mexican Grill will join the list of restaurants there, along with The Melt — which specializes in grilled cheese sandwiches, soups and other comfort variety foods — and Villa Italia Kitchen. The former Taco Bell site will convert to an updated Dairy Queen, offering baked goods as well as ice cream. Several of the restaurants are also updating their storefronts. “The new design is a little bit more cutting-edge,” said Park Meadows senior general manager Pamela Schenck-Kelly. “We’ll still have timbered ceilings and other Colorado finishes, but also digital screens and glass.”
Other LEGO displays at Park Meadows include a Colorado scene depicting a ski lift and mining.

State Senate debates homebuilder liability bills By Associated Press Two bills to make it harder to sue Colorado homebuilders advanced in the Republican-controlled state Senate last week. Senators approved two bills related to homebuilder product liability. One would give homeowners less time to sue a builder for defective construction. The other revises procedures for construction lawsuit in multifamily developments. Both proposals face almost certain rejection in the Democratic House, though. The Legislature has tried and failed for years to craft new builder liability standards that reduce insurance costs for builders without making it too hard for homeowners with faulty homes to collect damages. Supporters of this year’s bills say the measures would boost construction and
address Colorado’s shortage of affordable housing. “This is an incremental step,” said Sen. Mark Scheffel, R-Parker and one of the sponsors. But prospects for both bills are dim in the Democratic House, where leaders generally oppose the measures. Opponents say they are too favorable to builders and developers and would strip consumer protections. Summarizing the position of most Democrats, Denver Sen. Irene Aguilar, said the condo measure would “leave homeowners with absolutely no recourse if their biggest investment had defects.” The timeline bill, Senate Bill 91, heads to the House. The condo measure, Senate Bill 177, awaits one more vote before heading over.

Woman pleads not guilty to attempted murder, arson Charges stem from apartment fire in Centennial last June Staff report A woman accused of starting an apartment fire in Centennial last June pleaded not guilty on April 9 to more than 70 charges. In addition to 37 counts of attempted first-degree murder, Naomi Christine Almodovar, 24, of Aurora, is facing felony charges of assault, arson, stalking and criminal mischief, plus 24 misdemeanor offenses. The charges stem from a June 23, 2014, incident in which a building at the Copper Terrace apartment complex, 6550 S. Dayton St., caught fire. The fire claimed
eight of the 24 units in building G, and an additional 10 units were damaged from smoke and water. Only six units in the building did not sustain damages. No lives were lost in the fire, but one person was seriously injured. According to the American Red Cross Disaster Action Team, 14 people and two pets were displaced. A total of 45 people lived in Almodovar the evacuated building. Almodovar was arrested without incident July 18. She is being held at the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office Detention Facility on $1 million bond. Almodovar’s next court appearance is scheduled for May 14.

Care, training offered under one roof Athletic expertise, medical services available in Ranch By Christy Steadman csteadman@colorado communitymedia.com
Two businesses have teamed up to bring a facility that offers orthopedic and spine care, physical therapy and athletic training all in one building in Highlands Ranch. The facility, located at 1060 Plaza Drive, houses Panorama Orthopedic & Spine Center and D1 Sports, a training facility co-owned by former NBA player and Denver native Chauncey Billups and former Denver Broncos Brandon Stokley and Chris Kuper. All three athletes were on hand for an open house April 12 that drew dozens of youths and their parents. Panorama has been in the Denver area for more than 70 years, with its flagship location in Golden. The new office in Highlands Ranch, which opened April 2, is Panorama’s third location. It offers sports medicine, spine care, joint replacement, foot and ankle care, hand and wrist care, pain management specialists, digital imaging and MRI. The facility has been “specially designed for patient-centric care,” said Panorama’s marketing director, Michele Bergh. She
added it boasts “new technology and the most advanced equipment available.” Panorama’s physical therapy center is attached to D1 Sports, which is a benefit for all patients but especially for athletes, said Panorama CEO Eric Worthen. “Physical therapy is different for people returning to sports versus people returning to an office job,” he said. “Panorama has the capability to prepare athletes to get back to their sport.” D1 Sports’ Highlands Ranch location, which opened earlier this week, is one of 26 in the nation, and the center provides custom training programs and expert coaching. Programs offered include building core strength, fat loss, muscle building and speed and strength training. Classes and boot camps are offered for people as young as 5 years old. All of the trainers are former athletes, said D1 Sports facility coordinator Ronnie DeGray, who formerly played basketball professionally overseas and joined the Valor Christian High School boys basketball program as a coach in 2012. Working with “real athletic trainers helps people prevent (sports-related) injuries,” he said. D1 features a “state-of-the-art” basketball court, an indoor turf field and collegestyle weight room. “D1 is a family-fun atmosphere,” DeGray said. “It’s not just for elite athletes — it’s for everyone.”
Former Denver Nugget Chauncey Billups speaks to a crowd of fans at an open house for the new D1 Sports facility in Highlands Ranch on April 12. Billups, one of the owners of the facility, took time to sign autographs and shoot baskets with youths.

Straw drives home water message Groups remind residents to keep runoff clean Staff report OK, you ask: Why the heck is there a giant straw sticking out of Geneva Lake, just northeast of Prince Street and Berry Avenue? “The organizations behind the straw idea hope the message will remind and encourage residents to truly think about your drink,” reads a press release from the Stormwater Permittees for Local Awareness of Stream Health, known as SPLASH, and the Barr-Milton Watershed. “What can you do at your home, school and business to protect the water that you use every day?” The straw is traveling throughout the south metro area to raise awareness about the causes of water pollution. A sign on it reads, “Think About Your Drink: Rain Runoff Becomes Drinking Water.”
According to the straw-keepers, rain runoff is a leading cause of water pollution. Rain that falls on impervious surfaces such as streets and parking lots can pick up trash, automotive oil, lawn fertilizer, pet waste and other pollutants as it travels. These pollutants are carried to the stormdrainage system, which runs directly into local bodies of water. Polluted stormwater compromises the quality of water that is used for drinking, cooking, bathing and other things, and can be harmful to downstream users and aquatic life. Furthermore, the cost to clean up polluted waterways is far greater than simply preventing pollution from reaching waterways. The good news is, people can do a lot to prevent water pollution by making small changes in their everyday lives, including regular vehicle maintenance, using phosphorous-free fertilizer, picking up after pets and properly disposing of trash.

OPINION
April 17, 2015
&
Something about a cell keeps people imprisoned Cell phones don’t look like much. I will get to that in a minute. There are 6.8 billion cell phone subscriptions in the world. There are 7 billion people in the world. Guess who doesn’t have a cell phone subscription? I plan to keep it that way. I know that I am a freak. I call Jennifer, my sister, and the foot and ankle clinic, and that’s it. So why would I need a cell phone? I have humbugged cell phones before because they are all over the place like locusts, and just about as annoying. But there are so many of them that their ubiquity makes using them anywhere at any time immune from civility. “You mean it might actually bother someone if I made a phone call in a restaurant? Get out.” Yakety yak. Like I said, cell phones don’t look like much. Cell phones have function and very little form. Physically they are about as interesting as a pack of throat lozenges. What of it? Can you picture Humphrey Bogart on a cell phone? Phones have always had supporting roles in films, especially the candlesticks that Sam Spade rang up. Dial phones were sculptural. One part base, and one part handset, with a cord in between. That gave an actor a lot to work with. No more. Now you just hold up a little rectangle of plastic next to your head.
Juno had a hamburger phone. Her phone gave you an additional impression about her personality. Cell phones don’t do that. Cell phones all look alike. Oh, some of them are blue. I guess they are convenient, portable and don’t take up much room. But in that is the loss of any visual interest. It is just an assumed design now. At one time there were telephone stores with a menu of styles. Princess phones gave me the creeps. Now it is one size and shape for everyone. It’s like telling everyone they have to drive a Pinto. But you know what? You can’t take a selfie with a candlestick telephone. That’s another reason why I don’t like cell phones. Self-indulgence has been multiplied by 1,000 percent. The New York Post reported, “Selfabsorbed jerks are treating the East Village gas-explosion site like a tourist attraction, shooting grinning selfies of themselves
even as rescuers search for life in the ruins where two bodies might still be buried.” One of them should have known better. Christina Freundlich, a former communications director for the Iowa Democratic Party, posted a photo of herself giving the peace sign. (Freundlich apologized the next day.) Every day another selfie is posted with or without a personality’s permission. Can you picture Humphrey Bogart taking a selfie, or allowing one to be taken? I think it’s all crap, but that’s where we are. Someone close to me has a cell phone, and she is checking it all of the time. And I am glad that she does, because it shows that she is a good parent. She has three teenagers. Those words together — “three teenagers” — give me the willies. About all I did when I was a teenager was study and sulk. Things are very different now. Teenagers are different, and the world is very different. Unimaginable things happen. And it’s very easy to wind up on Pleasure Island. Someone asked me for my cell phone number, and when I told her I didn’t have a cell phone, she mocked me. I guess for some people it would be like being told I don’t have a belly button. Go ahead and mock me. Us. There are 200 million of us talking into hamburgers. Craig Marshall Smith is an artist, educator and Highlands Ranch resident.

Amazing attitudes make some stand out Have you ever noticed the people who love what they do? I mean they are usually smiling and happy, and seem like they could spend all day and night working. They are doing what they love and loving what they do. The thing that always gets me is not so much that they obviously enjoy their occupation, it’s their overall attitude toward life that is at work that impresses me the most. Now you may be thinking that the only people who really do what they love and love what they do are celebrities, professional athletes, or people who are in positions that help them earn an income that is far above what the average person earns. But I am sure you can think of many people you know, probably even more than you think, who really enjoy what they do. We can see the positive attitude at work in their personal and professional life and sometimes we wish we could feel the same way, don’t we? In my travels over the years I have met people who are in positions of manual labor, housekeeping, food and beverage,
hospitality, healthcare, banking, legal, professional services, consulting, transportation, and from many other careers. And from the guy shining shoes, to the investment banker, from the bartender to the lawyer, and from the massage therapist to the respiratory therapist, I have witnessed amazing attitudes at work. And I don’t just mean attitudes at work while they work, I am talking about the positive attitude that must be the underlying foundation of who they really are that is at work in their lives. I am sure that you can see the difference between people who live every aspect of their lives thinking and acting in a positive
manner as compared to those we know who live and work as if the world was ending and who are grounded, and even stuck, in a negative mindset. They have an attitude at work in their lives too, it’s just a negative attitude. So which attitude is at work in your life? And the more important question is this, how obvious is it to everyone you encounter? Can your friends and family see which attitude is at work? Can your customers or potential employers tell which attitude drives your actions and behaviors? Sometimes we can get caught up in a job we don’t like, or the fact that we are out of work for a little while. We may be working in a department or on a project with people we don’t get along with. And we may see ourselves in position where we can no longer be promoted or we just can’t seem to make any more money. So what happens? What attitude will prevail and be at work in our lives if we aren’t careful? Right, it’s easy to let the negative attitude and voices in our lives to drag us down.
Don’t dawdle about plans for old age There is only one thing worse than talking about dying and that is getting old and sick. Most of us are in denial that anything bad will ever happen to us. It seems easy to put off things that are not going to happen for a very long time, such as estate planning or elder care planning. Ironically, it is going to be easier and cheaper to plan now while you are thinking clearly for a time when you may not be able to make these decisions. So now that tax season is over and you have a good idea of your income and expenses, it is a good time to start mapping out what you would like to see happen to you. About 70 percent of people age 65 and older will need some type of long-term care services in their lifetimes. Here is a checklist of items to work on to better plan for an optimum future: • Review and update your estate plan. Make sure your wills, Powers of Attorney and Health Care Agents are current. If you and your spouse travel together or are in ill health,

consider having contingent names listed as well. • Imagine yourself in your 70s, 80s and 90s. Where will you live and who will be available to assist you? Make plans accordingly, such as downsizing your house or making arrangements to move closer to your children. • Identify what resources and goals you have. Do you have assets and income to support your lifestyle that may include paying for
I have to take issue with U.S. Rep. Mike Coffman’s recent column concerning the negotiations with Iran. He states that since Iran cannot be trusted, rather than negotiate we should impose such severe sanctions that its current government will collapse. This is a strategy destined for failure if regime change is our goal. The U.S. has imposed sanctions on Iran since 1979 with that stated goal. The toll these have taken on the Iranian economy has been steep and most probably has led Iran to the negotiating table. Exactly the change in behavior sanctions are designed to do! We should also remember that the United Nations and the U.S. tried the tactic of harsh sanctions against Saddam Hussein in Iraq. Rather

There are so many companies that follow the model of hiring and promoting attitude first. This means that they will look for people with the right attitude and worry about teaching them the skills later. They find that this fosters a sense of team and accomplishment and healthy
working environment. Could you imagine if we did the same thing in our personal relationships, looking for people to hang out with who are motivated and positive? So I will ask you again, what attitude is at work in your life? I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@gmail.com,

Make sure you have assets or insurance to help offset these potential costs. • Clean up financial affairs, such as updating primary and contingent beneficiaries on all assets. Consolidate old 401(k)s and pre-tax IRAs so you can clearly see what
you have and where the Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) needs to come from. Combine other assets titled the same way, such as combining various mutual funds, stocks and bonds into a brokerage account to make it easy to manage or to settle as an estate. Many different statements can become confusing as you get older. These items should give you a good start on planning for when someone else has to make decisions for you. It is crucial to meet with your advisors, including your estate attorney, tax planner and financial advisor. Share this information with your loved ones to help them understand your wishes. Then
enjoy the fact that you have taken the time to prepare for the best situation possible. Look for the Elder Care Planning workshop in May at www.kummerfinancial.com.
Shah Reza Pahlavi. He ruled Iran until he was overthrown in 1979 in the popular revolution that instituted the current Iranian government. Iranians still remember who put the Shah on the throne and trained his secret police. Do you think Iranians trust the U.S. any more than we trust them? And what is the alternative if harsher sanctions do not work? Another U.S. war in the Middle East like Iraq? President Obama should be applauded for having the courage to do something that is so much more difficult than dropping bombs — trying to resolve a dispute with negotiations. One last observation, should regime change of another country ever be the goal of a democratic state?

Coffman’s Iran concerns are justified As a former launch control officer in the Air Force (SAC, 90 SMS, 320th Missile Squadron), I was tasked with launching nuclear weapons in time of war and read with interest Henry Barlow’s letter to the editor favoring Obama’s negotiations with Iran on nuclear weapons. Barlow is obviously unaware that these negotiations are opposed by the American people, our Congress, Saudi Arabia, Israel and other Mideast allies because they don’t stop Iran from developing nuclear weapons. Why is this important? Because Iran calls us the “Great Satan” and vows to destroy us and Israel, the “Little Satan.”

Any material discussed is meant for informational purposes only and not a substitute for individual advice. No amount of negotiation with Iran will stop their development of nuclear weapons. If Mr. Barlow doubts this, he should note Iran’s ignoring at least seven UN Security Council resolutions demanding a halt to developing nuclear weapons. Additionally, what many people, such as Mr. Barlow, don’t realize is that a nuclear Iran could launch scud missiles from ocean going freighters and wipe out most of our coastal cities. Thus instead of chastising U.S. Rep. Mike Coffman for saying Iran can’t be trusted, Mr. Barlow should be thanking him for being concerned about the security of our country.

Probe finds 8 Denver airport perimeter breaches None of the incidents were related to terrorism, investigation finds Associated Press Eight people have breached the perimeter at Denver International Airport in the last decade, most of them by climbing the fence surrounding the 53-squaremile property, according to an Associated Press investigation. The AP found there have been at least 268 perimeter security breaches at 31
major U.S. airports from January 2004 through January 2015. Incidents ranged from fence jumpers taking shortcuts and intoxicated drivers crashing through barriers to mentally ill intruders looking to hop flights. None was terrorism-related. Airports say breaches are relatively rare. Security measures typically include fences, cameras and patrols, but there are gaps. Not all of the miles of fences are routinely patrolled or covered by video surveillance. DIA spokeswoman Laura Coale noted that the airport is twice the size of Manhattan. “We believe many folks do not realize they are even on airport property — it
looks like farmland and a breach may be miles and miles away from a runway or the terminal,’’ she wrote in an email. The incidents DIA reported based on AP’s inquiry were: • Nov. 27, 2014: An intoxicated 28-yearold man drove through a perimeter gate. • July 16, 2011: A man who said he was trying to get home climbed a security fence after failing to get off at the right bus stop. • Feb. 10, 2010: A man said he walked to the airport and climbed the security fence to get to a terminal. • April 23, 2009: A man who climbed the security fence said he was walking to work nearby.
• Aug. 27, 2008: The impaired driver of a truck towing a horse trailer drove through a gate. • Oct. 27, 2006: A driver whose vehicle broke down climbed a security fence to seek assistance. • Oct. 21, 2006: A 54-year-old man said he hitchhiked to the airport and was dropped off on the wrong side of the airfield, so he jumped the security fence to get where he wanted to go. • March 15, 2004: A 41-year-old man climbed over a security fence. He told authorities he was walking in the desert after riding a bus from California to Denver.
Centennial man found with child pornography sentenced Pedro Teniende exploited children he babysat Staff report A Centennial man will spend five years in prison and 10 years on probation for sexually ex-
ploiting children he babysat in 2013 and 2014. According to a media release, Pedro Teniende, 29, collected child pornography for about two years, during which he traded images with about 1,000 people and sold three USB drives filled with images for $25 each. Teniende was discovered by the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office on Feb. 7, 2014, after he
posted an ad on Craigslist that contained images of child pornography and the word “incest.” The information was handed over to the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office. On Aug. 20, 2014, sheriff’s office was informed of an IP address that uploaded four images of child pornography onto the Internet. The IP address was traced to Teniende’s home address.
The Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office arrested Teniende on Sept. 4, 2014, after executing a search warrant and discovering in his possession a laptop with 12 folders containing child pornography, a thumb drive with about 130,000 images and more than 10,000 images and 150 videos on Teniende’s phone. Two of the victims, who were between the ages of 9 and 12,

The B.I.G. Day is taking place on Saturday, April 25th from 8:00 am to 12:00pm. Local nonprofits and the South Metro Denver Chamber has gathered together for this fun half-day event. Participating nonprofits include Audubon Society of Greater Denver, Denver Botanic Gardens, Dinosaur Ridge, South Suburban Park Foundation, She She’s Corner, and Project C.U.R.E. B.I.G stands for “Be Involved, Give.” The motivation for this event, sponsored by the South Metro Denver Chamber’s Nonprofit & Business Partnership Committee, is to provide assistance to member nonprofits by introducing them to the people and businesses that live and work in their communities. Last year’s B.I.G. Day volunteers did everything from
planting the community garden at Denver Botanic Gardens at Chatfield, to trail clean-up with the South Suburban Park Foundation to sorting and loading medical supplies with Project CURE. Many projects allow young children to help when accompanied by an adult - a great way to teach community involvement. Anyone can volunteer- companies & businesses, their staff, friends, family, and kids! Everyone can participate. In addition, community organizations (schools, churches, sports teams) and individuals are all encouraged. If you are interested in volunteering, for The B.I.G. Day visit South Metro Denver Chamber event page at www. bestchamber.com or Contact Laurian Horowitz at Laurian@ ColoradoLiveLessons.com

REVVIN’ UP FOR SPRINGTIME
Glo to fade from Denver media scene
Springtime means it’s time for the Littleton Cruisers to flex their muscles at Woodlawn Shopping Center. Photo by Jennifer Smith
Staff report Springtime in Littleton means the crabapples are blooming, kids are getting itchy for the end of the school year and the Littleton Cruise is revving up its engines and
heading for Woodlawn Shopping Center on the second Saturday of each month. Club members show off their rides when they’re not cruising Littleton Boulevard, and visitors are treated to classic tunes spun by a deejay from Anderson Entertainment. Although most of the Littleton Cruisers
are American muscle cars, member Harold Schultes stresses that all makes and models are welcome, and from anywhere in the metro area. The club has been up and running since 2009, and is gaining traction each year.
Encaustic painter keeps busy pace Aaron has work exhibited in wide variety of settings By Sonya Ellingboe
sellingboe@colorado communitymedia.com It’s a busy year as we look into the schedule of a full-time working artist, and at overlapping connections in the Denver metro area’s active art world. After a studio celebration, encaustic painter Patricia Aaron will oversee careful packing and shipping of about a dozen large new paintings. Collectively titled “Metropolis,” they are headed to Santa Fe, New Mexico, to the William and Joseph Gallery on the legendary Canyon Road, for a show opening May 1. Aaron, who lives in Greenwood Village and creates art in her home studio, will return from Santa Fe to appear at the Museum Outdoor Arts in Englewood on May 16 for the opening reception of “Selections from the Permanent Collection,” which will feature works acquired from 1981 to 2015 by the MOA. She was artist-in-residence last year at the MOA, and her painting “Sign of the Times” will be included. An exhibit open now at Space Gallery, 400 Santa Fe Drive, Denver, includes her new work, “Sweet Bootleg Magic.” The national show was juried by Denver Art Museum Director Christoph Heinrich and runs through April 25. Aaron has art in the 52nd annual juried exhibition at Masur Museum of Art in Monroe, La., juried by Sandra Firman, director and chief curator of the University of Colorado Art Museum — through June 20. On April 23 and 24, Aaron will present a two-day encaustic intermediate level workshop at Art Students League of Denver. She and ASLD colleague Victoria Eubanks will co-curate a regional juried exhibition, “Wax Stories,” to run in October at the Niza Knoll Gallery in Denver. The juror
ABOUT PATRICIA AARON Patricia Aaron’s website includes an April 2015 article from “Southwest Art” which described a semester abroad in London as a turning point for this business management major, who also studied glassmaking.
Hemingway to speak at gala
She rediscovered art and music and a direction for her life was established. Aaron studied at the school of Boston’s Museum of Fine Arts in the 1980s and earned an MFA from the University of Denver in the late 1990s. In that period, she discovered encaustics, an ancient technique with examples dating to early Egypt and Rome. She has applied that technique to her interest in industrial sites across the U.S. that had once thrived, “swirls of street art and graffiti … warehouse districts, skate parks, boarded-up storefronts in London, Cape Town, Phoenix, Miami, New York City and my hometown of Youngstown, Ohio.”

Oscar-nominated actress and author Mariel Hemingway will provide the keynote address at Shine On, the Arapahoe/Douglas Mental Health Network’s 60th anniversary dinner celebration on Oct. 14 at the Grand Hyatt Downtown Denver. Hemingway has spoken openly about her family’s history of mental illness, addiction and suicide. About her book, “Out Came the Sun,” released recently, Hemingway said, “My family — my father, my mother, my two sisters and myself — is the kind of family that in today’s era of euphemism and doublespeak, gets called `dysfunctional.’” Proceeds from the event support suicide prevention services and mental health crisis care. For more information, go to www.admhn.org.

Youngstown, a once-thriving steel town, shaped Aaron’s interest in gritty urban landscapes that carries into her abstract artwork today. “Each painting tells a story,” she said.

As she moves through spring and summer, Aaron will probably be formulating plans for 2016 exhibitions as well.
Say it ain’t so, Glo! Gloria Neal, a fixture in Denver radio and television, is leaving our fair city to take a job as the morning news anchor at CBS-affiliate WGCL in Atlanta. On April 7, Neal posted on her Facebook page: “Where do I begin? I have always said that time brings change and to go against time ... is like going against life. There are no words Colorado. With ears full of tears, a heavy heart and a strong spirit, I fly ....” After making her mark on local radio, Neal was hired “temporarily” in 2008 as a morning news correspondent on CBS4. In a message to the staff, CBS4 News Director Tim Wieland said: “Back in 2008, I asked Gloria Neal if she might be interested in doing a daily segment for CBS4 Morning News on some of the stories surrounding the Democratic National Convention in Denver. Three or four weeks only. An `experiment’ to see how she liked working on morning television. Three or four weeks turned into eight years at CBS4 — a wonderful `experiment’ that led to so many memorable interviews, stories and news segments.” By phone from Atlanta, Glo said, “Man plans and God laughs.” She was “stunned when they called me. I love Colorado, it’s going to be so hard … (leaving) but it’s also a great opportunity. (Atlanta) is a huge market. I’ve been here many times (where her husband has clients).” Her last day on the air in Denver will be mid-late May. Hate to see you go, Glo, but best of luck in Hotlanta.
“Sign of the Times” by local Artist Patricia Aaron is in the permanent collection of the Museum Outdoor Art and will be included in an exhibit of works from that collection this spring.

‘Six Dance Lessons’ never trips up

Show brings experienced actors together at Vintage By Sonya Ellingboe
sellingboe@colorado communitymedia.com Lily (Deborah Persoff) is fussily rearranging furniture in her apartment when the doorbell rings. It’s Michael Minetti (Preston Britton), the dance instructor she’d hired — to hopefully spin away her overwhelming loneliness. Things don’t get off to a good start: much younger than his proper 70-year-old client, he’s had a hard day and swears at her. She’s calling the office to cancel and he’s begging her not to. Thus starts “Six Dance Lessons in Six Weeks.” Lesson 1 is the Swing Dance, which they eventually manage. Director Craig Bond adds a nice touch with a projection of the dancers on the back wall of Aurora’s Vintage Theatre to
carry the audience between each scene while actors change costumes. Lesson 2 is the Tango and Michael arrives carrying a rose, although feathers soon start to fly again. He had lied about a nonexistent wife who worked at a veterinary hospital and Lily had checked up on her. “I didn’t know you well enough to be honest with you,” he replies, and she mutters something about him “being in the pantry,” meaning closet. The storm clears and they tango. By lesson 3, the Waltz, he arrives formally dressed, as is Lily. He has checked up on her: the husband she’s talked about as about-toappear actually died six years ago — “an older woman without a husband is just invisible,” she says, wilting. He pops on a top hat and they waltz. The script is nicely crafted by Richard Alfieri, who has also worked in films, acted, written novels and produced for television. It carries the two conflicting characters into a meaningful relationship that looks as though
IF YOU GO “Six Dance Lessons in Six Weeks” plays through May 3 at Vintage Theatre, 1468 Dayton St., Aurora. Performances: 7:30 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays; 2:30 p.m. Sundays and May 2. Tickets: $28/$24 advance. 303-856-7830, vintagetheatre.com.
it will last long after the lessons are finished. The two actors, who have a combined 17 shows for Vintage Theatre in their resumes, are comfortable in their parts and nicely paced throughout the production as their characters grow into a true friendship. The performances reflect careful direction — they could so easily be played over-the-top, looking for laughs, but they’re not. This is a good choice for the smaller theater at Vintage and offers some food for thought on tolerance as well.
‘Boomtown’ may feel familiar to audience By Sonya Ellingboe
sellingboe@colorado communitymedia.com From the moment he heard Chimney Choir, Wonderbound’s inventive director/ choreographer Garrett Ammon saw a vision for his next collaborative effort to meld music and dance into a new production. Chimney Choir is a Denver indie/rock band with a flair for the theatrical, with varied instrumentalists who have performed internationally. Both organizations reflect the vitality of Denver’s young artistic community. A conversation started, and a rough storyline was developed for “Boomtown”: A young man leaves his boring home in Floptown to pursue the girl of his dreams to Boomtown — “or maybe that’s what he thought he was looking for,” said Wonder-
bound spokesperson Amber Blais. He has a bunch of mishaps as he seeks his way. The audience will be able to recognize landmarks, history and stereotypes. Denver is described as “a place where natives are rare and everyone you meet talks of how this place has enchanted them into calling it home … ‘Boomtown’ explores the longing we all feel to find where we belong.” David Rynhart of Chimney Choir writes about exploring Denver. “Not only as a city, but as a unique circumstance that has brought us all together. It is changing every minute. It is becoming the face of all those moving here, living here, creating here. As we find ourselves in Denver, Denver finds itself in us.” When Ammon and Chimney Choir agreed on a storyline and project development many months ago, the band started creating 25 new songs and Ammon began choreographing with his dancers, who are skilled in developing characters. Boomtown represents Denver, incorporating its history and recognizing wellloved sites.
IF YOU GO The Wonderbound company and Chimney Choir will introduce “Boomtown” at 7:30 p.m. on April 17 and 18 and at 2 p.m. on April 19 at the Performing Arts Complex at Pinnacle Charter School, 1001 W. 84th Ave., Federal Heights. 303-292-4700, wonderbound.com. Tickets: $22-$47. • “Boomtown” moves south to Lone Tree Arts Center at 8 p.m. April 25. Address: 10075 Commons St., Lone Tree. 720-509-1000, lonetreeartscenter.org. Tickets: $41/$37. • On June 20 (7:30 p.m.) and 21 (2 p.m.), the production will appear at the Arvada Center, 6901 Wadsworth Blvd. Tickets: $40/$30/ $15, 720-898-7200, arvadacenter.org. AmMon and his wife/co-director Dawn Fay—with Wonderbound since it started in 2007-- are committed to sharing collaborative artistic experiences--and providing new experiences for a receptive audience.

Alaska series adds up to adventure Books recount tales shared by family, beloved teacher By Sonya Ellingboe
sellingboe@colorado communitymedia.com When Parker writer Naomi Gaede Penner was in second grade in Tanana, Alaska, a village of 300 Athabascan Indians along the Yukon River, she had a teacher named Anna Bortel, who became her mother’s close friend and a lifelong friend to Naomi as well. The family was in Alaska — in a spot reached only by air — because her father was a Public Health Service physician with a sense of adventure. (Penner has written about him as well in “Alaska Bush Pilot Doctor.”) In spite of difficult living conditions, Bortel saved all her letters, photographs, documents and other papers, and in her later years, could recall countless stories of her life in Alaska. When Bortel was living in a retirement community in Oregon, Penner worked with her to produce two books about her remarkable career: “A is For Alaska” and “A is For Anaktuvuk.” (Bortel died last year in her 90s.) “The project started in 1991,” Penner said, “but it hit an impasse and stalled. Anna was a great storyteller, but didn’t know how to shape it into chapters.” Penner did recording as Bortel talked. Penner had copyrighted the pictures and the songs Bortel wrote. Penner says she continues to visit her family’s homestead near Soldotna, acquired under the last Homestead Act in about 1961. Her father was one of two physicians in the area and her parents lived the rest of their lives there. Her sister and son and brother and wife live on the homestead full time and Naomi has a cabin. But “I discovered Colorado sunshine,” said Penner, who has lived in Parker since 2000. At 16, she was sent to a Mennonite boarding school in Oklahoma, then a college in Kansas. She eventually gradu-
“A is for Anaktuvuk” is the second of Naomi Penner’s books about teacher Anna Bortel, who taught in northern Alaska for many years. Courtesy photo ated from Colorado State University and holds a master’s degree from Denver Seminary. The books are written for adults, the author says, but are appropriate for grades 6 to 12 as well. Each has a bibliography, glossary and list of discussion questions at the end, which would be good for group or family consideration. They are written in Bortel’s voice, which sounds like an insightful teacher explaining things. In June 1954, after a few years teaching in the Midwest, Bortel had a final breakfast in her Ohio home, climbed into
her green Chevy and headed for Alaska, after a final “watch for bears” warning from her anxious mom. She had a contact in Valdez, 4,408 miles away. (It boasted 300 inches of snow a year.) She planned to get a job when she arrived. In Sterling, Illinois, she picked up a friend, Dorothy Wilson, and they drove west, cooking on a Coleman stove and staying in cheap hotels. The book includes Bortel’s daily travel notes. She explains that the Army Corps of Engineers built the Alcan Highway in World War II due to perceived threats from Japan, and no land connection to Alaska until then. But when Bortel drove it, paving was not yet in place. The pair arrived in Valdez and Bortel found a teaching job. She next taught Athabascan children in Tanana, in the northern interior, where the children were Indian, not Eskimo, she was told. No roads led there — she had to fly in, with lots of warm clothing, after shipping her possessions on a river barge. Her fellow teacher took her on a tour of the village and school began soon. It was here that she met the Gaedes, Naomi Gaede Penner’s family. Bortel was the girls’ teacher and developed a close friendship with the Gaede family. Details of life in this community are really interesting, and the cold is unending. They managed holiday celebrations, church services, hearty meals and fun amid lots of learning. In 1959, the village council of Anaktuvuk Pass asked the Alaska Commissioner of Education for a school in their village, and Bortel, looking for further challenge, went there to teach all ages. Some had been to boarding school and spoke English. First-graders knew no English and the community structure was different. Again, this resourceful woman prevailed, living in a sod house, teaching new ways as well as Sunday school. She eventually taught in Alaska for 19 years. Penner calls these two books, plus her earlier “From Kansas Wheat Fields to Alaska Tundra,” the story of her family, and “Alaska Bush Pilot Doctor,” about her father, the Prescription for Adventure series. They are available at Poor Richard’s Book Shoppe in Parker and the Carriage Shoppes in Elizabeth, as well as from the author, prescriptionforadventure.com and Amazon.com.

Painter Sidney Ann Pitchford brings many skills to her exhibit of paintings at First Plymouth Congregational Church in Cherry Hills Village. She has been an art teacher, singer, professional entertainer, art supply store owner — and prolific painter of large oil canvases. Her current exhibit, which runs through April 20, includes the exotic tropical-looking angel trumpet flowers she loves to paint and some works with crosses and spiritual images. She moved to Colorado previously with her late husband, a contractor, and in 2009, taught painting at the Garage Gallery in Littleton. When he developed ALS, the couple returned to Florida, following his wish, but she has moved back since he passed away. Pitchford is interested in getting acquainted in the Metro area arts community and said she just finished teaching for the Park Hill artist’s club. She hopes to find arts activities in Highlands Ranch, where she has made her home—or perhaps try to get an arts group started. And, she wants to continue teaching as well as showing and selling her work in Colorado. From the age of 12, when she moved to Evansville, Indiana, the arts have been part of her life. Her music took her to Naples, Florida,

Athletes tested at track meet Almost 1,500 entries compete at Pomona Invitational By Tom Munds
tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia. com Athletes from area schools matched their abilities against a field of top competitors at the Pomona Invitational Track Meet held April 10 and 11 at Jefferson County Stadium. This year, there were 1,452 athletes from 37 schools entered in the Pomona Invitational. Schools included large and small schools from around the state as well as a team from Rapid City, South Dakota, and from Douglas, Wyoming. Medals were presented to the top finishers and the battles were intense for those medals as well as the team points that went with them. Fountain Fort Carson took top honors in the boys team standings. Locally, Cherry Creek was fifth, Littleton was ninth, and Chaparral was 10th. The team from Cherokee Trail finished atop the girls team standings with Mountain Vista fifth, Arapahoe ninth and Chaparral 10th. Mountain Vista’s 49.5 point total was helped when teammates Allie Chipman and Delaney Fitzsimmons finished onetwo in the 1,600-meter run. “It is friendly competition for us because she is just as fast as I am,” Chipman said after finishing first with a time of 5:13.16. We have a thing that, if we can keep up with each other in practice, we can keep up with each other in a race.” Fitzsimmons said it helps to have a teammate to run with. “We just work with each other,” she said. “When one of us is ahead, the other person keeps pace and pushes the one of us who is ahead.” Both girls agreed it is special to be in a big meet this time of year. “As a freshman, it is weird because I have always been in the stands and now I am on the track in front of a big crowd,” Chipman said.
Dylan Van Denend of Arapahoe stretches for distance as he competes in the triple jump at the April 11 Pomona Invitational Track Meet. His best jump of the day was 39-6 which placed him 14th among the more than 50 competitors entered in the event. Photo by Tom Munds Fitzsimmons, a senior, said she never liked track until this season. “However, I like to run in big meets,” she said. “It is fun to go against top competition like you see here today.’ The two runners both said their goal is to complete the 1,600-meter run in less than five minutes. Eva Williams of Chaparral won her heat in the 1,600-meter run. “I have been a runner since sixth grade and I run because I like it,” she said after her heat race. “It is fun with friends and it is really fun when you beat your personal best time. I did that today and it makes me very happy.” She said she runs the 1,600 and the
800-meter races. “I like the 800 because it is shorter and I don’t like running in circles,” the freshman said. “I don’t have a time I want to run this year. I just want to go out and beat my personal best time every race I run.” Nearby, Heritage’s Otto Lucas was among about 50 athletes competing in pole vault. “I find pole vaulting super exciting when you clear the bar at high heights and it is something I really enjoy doing,” the junior said between his turn to compete. “My goal for the season is to make the state meet so my best jump has to be among the top 18 in the state.” He said coaches put pole-vaulters through a lot of drills to help them improve
their techniques. “For example, we have portable boxes where you put the pole to make the jump that we work to build leg strength by pushing around,” he said. “One thing I am working on is pushing the pole as hard as I can into the box so I can get more spring out of the pole.” At the other end of the field, the list of competitors included Jack Lamb of Rock Canyon and Trevor Rex of Highlands Ranch when the field was narrowed to four. Lamb, who had a personal best jump of 6 feet 2 inches, cleared the bar at 6 feet, 6 inches to finish second. Rex also cleared the bar at 6-6 and finished third.
Shorthanded Bruins topple Legend Cherry Creek ends scoring slump with win By By Jim Benton
Jbenton@colorado communitymedia.com Cherry Creek played without seven starters but managed to pull out a 3-1 nonleague victory over Legend on April 11 at the Stutler Bowl. “We were under a lot of adversity,” said Creek coach Jim Schneider. “We had seven starters out for the game. It was a total team effort. Both our goalkeepers and five other starters were in a showcase in San Diego.” Liz Hoffman, Gretta LaCoutre and Emma Maloney scored for the Bruins. LaCoutre scored on a penalty kick in the 61st minute to break a 1-1 tie and help propel Creek, which had been shut out in its previous three games. Madison Roberts collected the Legend
goal. Key moments: Creek used four field players (Katie Hay, Jax Henry, Hoffman and Hannah Mimmack) as keepers in the game. “We didn’t have a single keeper,” said Schneider. “We were keeper by committee. They did a spectacular job.” Key players/statistics: Creek went over 260 minutes without a goal before ending the scoring skid with Hoffman’s goal in the 27th minute of the game. “It always feels good to score and always feels good to win,” said Schneider. “We’ve been in a little bit of a drought.” She said it: “ We’re working hard and pushing each other,” said Legend coach Kari Hamilton. “The team bonding is helping the momentum of the team.” Going forward: Cherry Creek (3-4 overall, 0-2 in the Centennial League) will face Eaglecrest April 16 in a league game. Legend (4-5, 3-2 in the Continental League) faces ThunderRidge in a Continental match April 16.

SALOME’S STARS FOR RELEASE WEEK OF APRIL 13, 2015
ARIES (March 21 to April 19) A problem in getting a workplace project up and moving might upset the Lamb, who likes things done on time. But be patient. The delay could turn out to be a blessing in disguise. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Your instincts are usually on the mark, so if you feel uneasy about being asked for advice on a certain matter, it’s probably a good idea that you opt not to comply with the request. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) You might have two minds about a proposed change (which often happens with the Twins), but once all the facts are in, you’ll be able to make a definitive decision. Good luck.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) The Crab’s frugal aspect dominates, so while you might be reluctant to pay for technical repairs, the time you save in getting things back on track could be well worth the expense. LEO (July 23 to August 22) While you Leos and Leonas continue to concentrate on doing well in your work-related ventures this week, consider reserving the weekend for sharing good times with family and friends. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) This is a good week to take stock of the important personal, professional or familial relationships in your life and see where you might need to do some intense shoring up. LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Your sense of justice makes you the likely person to help deal with a work- or family-related grievance. But you need to have any doubts about anyone’s true agenda resolved first. SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) The Scorpio passion for getting things done right and on time might rankle some folks. Never mind them. Others will be impressed, and they’re the ones you want in your corner. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Finances could be a mite tight this week. And, while things will ease up soon enough, you savvy Sagittarians will want to keep a prudent eye on your expenses at this time. CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Although a technical malfunction could cause a temporary delay in getting things up and running, you could use the time to recheck your operation and make changes where necessary. AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) You might find it difficult to resist making a snap judgment about a colleague’s behavior. But stick with your usual way of assessing situations and wait for the facts to come out. PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Asking for help with a family situation might be the wisest course to take right now. Just be sure you turn to someone you can trust to do and say the right thing for the right reasons.

Jim and DianeSchrack, of Highlands Ranch, hold signs at the stoplight on the corner of University Boulevard and Highlands Ranch Parkway March 21. The questions on the signs are meant to bring awareness to important issues, the couple said, and “plant the seeds of thought.” The couple has been in this location, with different question signs about once a month, since April 2005.

Since April 2005, Jim and Diane Schrack have been proposing questions to passing motorists on the corner of University Boulevard and Highlands Ranch Parkway. The couple has come up with about 140 questions through the years--all of them dealing with issues meant to provoke thought on important issues that “can’t be ignored,” they said.

Local couple’s signs provoke thought Highlands Ranch residents proposes questions on tough issues to passing motorists By Christy Steadman csteadman@colorado communitymedia.com
For the past 10 years, they’ve been on the corner of University Boulevard and Highlands Ranch Parkway about once a month, holding signs with questions that prompt passing motorists to think about pressing national and local issues. “We’re not out there to make people mad. We’re not out there to tell people what to do,” said Jim and Diane Schrack, founders of The Question Alliance. “We’re there to bring awareness to important issues. We’re planting the seeds of thought.”
The concept behind The Question Alliance is to ask questions that are thoughtprovoking, the Schracks said, through a “grassroots method of peaceful sign-waving on street corners.” The questions stem from a variety of topics, not limited to education, health, civil liberties, social justices, environment, economics and politics. “We encourage people to think about issues that we’d all rather not address,” Diane said, “but those which we cannot ignore any longer.” The couple invests quite a bit of time preparing the questions, they said, because it’s important to have a question that gives people a reason to think about it. Diane starts by researching the issue so all the facts are correct. Then, they work on the wording of the question. The wording is important, they said, for a couple of reasons. The questions must be
worded in a way that passing motorists can read, and absorb, it quickly without causing danger at the intersection and/or impeding traffic. Also, the questions must be crafted in a way that is not “antagonistic, but can still get the point across.” “There will always be a bunch of different opinions. We don’t want to provide the answers,” Jim said. After the questions are perfected, the Schracks send out an action letter to the alliance’s list of people or groups who have expressed interest in joining the effort. Sometimes it’s just the two of them, the Schracks said, sometimes a number of people join them and sometimes people join the effort in a different community. Once, the Schracks recalled, a man in his early 20s from out-of-state was passing by and saw them on the street corner. He went to the store, bought the supplies to make a sign and joined them for the duration they
were out there that day. It’s important for all ages and demographics of people to be reached out to, said Chris Allen, member of The Question Alliance. “It’s good to raise awareness to important issues that will affect our future generations,” he said. The questions can be uncomfortable sometimes because they are tough issues, Jim said, but they are issues that impact everyone “whether we like it or not.” Despite some of the negative reactions the Schracks deal with from passing motorists, they believe that by them being out there on the corner of University Boulevard and Highlands Ranch Parkway once a month, it shows people that others do care about the important issues every person is faced with. “We need to be aware of each other,” they said. “It’s common humanity.”
