Slaying suspect allegedly dismembered body Englewood man accused of murdering his fiancee’s mother By Tom Munds
tmunds@colorado communitymedia.com John Edward Brant, 32, is accused of second-degree murder in the strangling death of 55-yearold Englewood resident Jackie Degarmo. Brant, who appeared in Arapahoe County Court May 14, allegedly killed Degarmo on Feb. 21, then cut off her head and hands before dumping her body in Clear Creek County near Idaho Springs. The victim and her daughter, Alisia Blythe, who is also Brant’s fiancée, lived in the 4000 block of South Logan Street. According to police reports, hikers found Degarmo’s torso
on May 3 and notified the Clear Creek County Sheriff’s Office. In an effort to identify the victim, the Clear Creek County Sheriff’s Office sent out information regarding the remains as well as a photo of the victim’s distinctive left-shin tattoo of a heart and flowers connected by a vine. Englewood police received the bulletin and connected it to a missing person report made by Blythe on April 24 regarding Degarmo. Blythe told police her mother was last seen on Feb. 21. Contacted by Englewood detectives, Blythe confirmed Degarmo had a tattoo similar to that in the picture provided by the Clear Creek County Sheriff’s Office. According to an arrest affidavit, Degarmo was involved in an argument with Brant and her daughter on Feb. 21. Degarmo reportedly swung a stick at Blythe, which upset Brant. Blythe told investigators that Brant strangled
Degarmo, then took the body into the backyard and placed it in the snow; she claimed she did not know that the body was later transported to Clear Creek County and that Degarmo’s head and hands had Brant been removed. Blythe has not been arrested and currently faces no charges. Brant initially did not want to talk to investigators, but soon asked for a lawyer, according to the arrest affidavit. Brant then spoke out about the incident with Degarmo, telling officers he was “pushed” and that he is “not really a violent person.” Neighbors and others who knew Degarmo had differing opinions of the victim. Tracy Harrington, who went
to school with the Blythe, said Degarmo was very different and, at times, mean. But Sam Martinez, who used to live in the South Logan Street neighborhood, said the Degarmo he knew was always friendly and nice to him. “She did do things her own way, like the way she decorated her front yard,” he said. “But I was shocked when I heard she had been murdered. It is something that shouldn’t happen to anyone.” As of May 14, police were seeking the public’s help in locating Degarmo’s vehicle, a metallicblue 1997 Nissan 200SX pickup truck. The truck has Colorado plates with the license number 632LHE. Anyone with information about the vehicle is asked to contact Englewood police at 303761-7410. Brant is being held without bond at the Arapahoe County jail.

Citing safety, Littleton shuts down Reinke Bros. Roof has been leaking for nearly a year By Jennifer Smith
jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com The City of Littleton’s Building Division shut down Reinke Bros. Halloween and Costume Store on May 15, citing unsafe conditions. Greg Reinke, owner of the store and president of the Historic Downtown Littleton Merchants, said the city has gone too far this time. He’s had squabbles with the city for years about myriad issues, including zoning, parking, events and, most recently, a controversial ordinance addressing outdoor merchandise displays. But the current situation, said Reinke, really arose through no fault of his own. The building’s roof was damaged during last June’s hailstorm, on the same day as HDLM’s annual Block Party. It’s been leaking ever since, causing ceiling tiles to fall and forcing Reinke to move his abundant amount of merchandise out of the way of falling water on rainy days. Some of it is even being stored outside in mobile containers, hampering his ability to work parties and events, a major source of his revenue, he said. But Reinke was finally able to get work started to repair the roof and went to pull a building permit, resulting in the city sending out a building inspector. Reinke said that when the inspector took a look around on May 13 and asked if he could return the next day with fire inspectors, he told him yes. “You’ve got to remember, this isn’t hostile at this point,” said Reinke. “I said I wanted to make sure I’m safe for my customers, my employees and myself.” So at 10 a.m. on May 14, a team of six inspectors toured the building, 5663 S. Prince St., in downtown Littleton. Hank Carter, assistant fire marshal, told Reinke in a letter later that day that the request for the fire department to participate came from Rebecca Thompson, senior code-enforcement officer. “This request was the result of a complaint through the City Manager’s stating that unsafe conditions existed in your facil-
Greg Reinke knows as well as anyone that his leaky roof needs repaired as soon as possible, but he feels the city went too far by closing his store to the public. Photos by Jennifer Smith ity,” Carter wrote in a letter to Reinke. Carter went on to list several items Reinke would need to address, including making sure all the sprinkler heads are unobstructed and that the exits aren’t blocked. “We are aware of the issue you have with your leaking roof and understand that some of the above issues are a result of damage to ceiling tiles,” wrote Carter. “The fire department allows 30 days to correct violations of the Fire Code.” Reinke said he doesn’t disagree that the repairs need to be made pronto, and the roofing company was to start work on May 18. The estimate said it would take 10 days and about $233,000, reimbursable by his insurance company, he said. But on May 15, the building department came back and posted a notice on his front door reading, “No public access until correction (sic) are made.” Reinke was stunned, he said. He stressed that most of the damage is in areas not accessible to the public right now, like the haunted house, storage areas and restrooms, and couldn’t be repaired until the roof was fixed. Additionally, he called in Quality Environmental Services, which reported the air in

the building is not contaminated by mold. “I understand what they were looking for,” he said. “That’s why I did my due diligence as a business owner.” With Denver Comic Con and the Block Party both just over the horizon, Reinke said he expects to take a huge financial hit. “It’s a witch hunt,” he said. “I’m furious on this one.” But city staff continued to stress that it’s all about the public’s safety. “As always, we are here to assist you in your endeavors to keep you and your customers safe,” wrote Carter. “Please keep us informed as to your progress, and let us know what we can do to help you.” While Reinke and his employees are working to do what can be done in the meantime, Thompson and City Manager Michael Penny both said they’ll work with him to get the store reopened as soon as possible. “As I understand it, he had life safety issues which needed to be addressed before he could have the public in the building,” said Penny. “We will do everything we can to get the inspections done as soon as the repairs are made.”
The city’s building department closed Reinke Bros. costume store to the public until the roof is done being repaired.

Suspect arrested in stepfather’s death Sheridan resident shot to death in home
59-year-old Sheridan resident. Jacobs was found dead in his home in the 3500 block of South King Street the morning of May 13.

and 13. They live in Centennial and are buying the house in which Rubin grew up from her parents. The district will now begin negotiations with Rubin with the goal of completing the contract so she can become the district’s superintendent on July 1. The school board special meeting May 15 was to evaluate the three finalists: Rubin, Mike Lynch and Brian Recht. At the start of the discussion, School Board President Duane Tucker asked each of the board members to discuss the candidate or candidates they would recommend hiring. “I don’t feel I can lobby for any one individual because all the candidates exceeded my expectations,” Jason Sakry said. “Each candidate has unique strengths to be considered. I am leaning toward (Lynch) because of his administrative experience.”
Continued from Page 1
Rubin grew up in Littleton and graduated from Arapahoe High School. She continued her education at the University of Colorado Boulder. “I lived in Chicago for a while and got my master’s degree from University of Illinois Chicago,” she said. “That is also where I met my husband.” The Rubin family returned to Colorado a number of years ago. Wendy’s husband, Lance, is the chairman of the Humanities Department at Arapahoe Community College. The couple has two daughters, ages 11
dan Police Department said in a news release. Sheridan officers worked with the FBI Safe Streets Task Force and the Denver Police Fugitive Unit to locate the suspect at a Denny’s restaurant near Hampden Avenue and Wadsworth Boulevard in Lakewood. He was taken into custody without resistance. Jacobs worked for Englewood Schools for 29 years, mostly as a bus driver, retiring in 2011. Recently, he worked part time for the Sheridan School District.
Board member Kevin Ebert agreed. “Each candidate has strengths,” he said. “If we could combine the three, we would have the perfect candidate.” Tena Prange said she favored hiring Rubin. “I think we all want to find the right person who can keep us strong and build on the foundation that has been established,” she said. “It is a tough decision but, for me, the support of Chatfield faculty members for her impressed me.” As the discussion was winding down, Ebert said they were talking about excellent candidates and whichever candidate the board selected needed to know that he or she would have the full support of all five board members. Prange made a motion to offer the contract to Rubin. The motion passed 4-1 with
Sakry voting against it. The search process for the three finalists included individual interviews with three different committees on May 9. School board members and district staff made up one committee. The other two panels were made up of volunteers, including school district employees and residents of the community. The search for a new superintendent was launched in March, when current Superintendent Brian Ewert announced he was leaving Englewood to accept the position of superintendent of Littleton Public Schools. Representatives of the Colorado Association of School Boards assisted the board in conducting the search.
Wet spring eases fire risk in weeks ahead
Western half of Colorado more vulnerable to blazes
tor Paul Cooke said May 15 that the risk of fires along the Front Range will be below average through mid-June because of a wet spring. He says the risk could increase when the summer heat dries things out. Cooke says an average season brings about 3,000 fires that burn 150 square miles. Last year, about 3,700 fires burned 36 square miles in Colorado. In 2013, the state had 1,200 fires that burned nearly 305 square miles.

The National Interagency Coordination Center says Colorado’s wildfire potential will be normal or below normal through August. The center coordinates firefighting efforts nationwide. Also on May 15, it was announced that Colorado will patrol its forests and grasslands with two new wildfire-spotting aircraft this summer, hoping to find and extinguish flames before they explode into deadly megafires. Fire management officer Joe LoBiondo
said infrared cameras aboard the planes are so sensitive that they can detect a campfire from 28,000 feet high. The planes are based at Centennial Airport. Officials say they can reach any part of the state in about 40 minutes. Cooke said it cost a total of $9 million to buy and equip both planes. He says they’ll pay for themselves if they prevent a single blaze like the 2012 Waldo Canyon fire, which killed two people and destroyed 346 houses in Colorado Springs.

No special election needed for property move Staff report A few people affiliated with the anti-urban renewal group Your Littleton, Your Vote complained at the April 7 Littleton City Council meeting about the council’s March 17 action to remove several properties from the urbanrenewal plan area, saying the move should have gone before voters in light of the successful Initiative 300. Council member Peggy Cole made a motion to set yet another special election. The motion was seconded by Jerry Valdes, who asked city staff to bring back information re-
garding “what it would take to completely get rid of this urban-renewal stuff we’ve done over the last year and completely start over.” “I would like to hear soon legally where we stand,” Valdes said. “We were too hasty. I was against it the entire time.” City Attorney Kristin Schledorn said the property move “was not a substantial modification.” “It was not a change that triggers an election under the new provision,” Schledorn explained. The vote on the motion toward a special election was 1-5, with only Cole in support.

Dead suspect confirmed as ‘Longhorn Bandit’ Jesus Avila’s death at Littleton motel is ruled suicide By Jennifer Smith
jsmith@colorado communitymedia.com The FBI has confirmed that Jesus Avila, the 19-year-old man who shot an FBI officer before killing himself in Littleton on May 8, was indeed the “Longhorn Bandit.” “The hard work of the FBI and the Safe Streets Task Force led to the identification and location of a serial bank robber,” U.S. Attorney John Walsh said in a news release on May 12. “The subject’s actions (of) firing on law-enforcement agents and wounding an FBI agent show the robber was armed, dangerous and posed a grave risk to the public. Our thoughts are with the injured FBI special agent, with best wishes for a speedy recovery.” The incident began about 4:15 p.m. at the Essex House Motel near Santa Fe Drive and Prince Street, when the multiagency task force tried to serve Avila — nicknamed the “Longhorn Bandit” for a Texas Longhorns cap he wore during one of the robberies — with an arrest warrant. It charged him with one bank robbery in the metro area, and alleged he committed two more. “Special agents and task force officers were first able to identify the Longhorn Bandit as Avila,” said the release. “They later determined the location where Avila was believed to be staying.” Two shots rang out, according to FBI Special Agent in Charge Mike Rankin, with one shot striking an FBI agent in the calf. Avila then barricaded himself in his second-story motel room. That led to a standoff that lasted more than two hours, while SWAT and other first responders swarmed the neighborhood and a stretch of Santa Fe remained closed during rush hour. The agent’s injuries were not believed to be life-threatening, and he was taken to Swedish Medical Center. Officers entered the suspect’s room in the Essex House Motel about 6:25 p.m. after obtaining a federal search warrant. Rankin
EXCERPT FROM A MARCH 17 FBI NEWS RELEASE: The Wheat Ridge, Aurora, Broomfield and Arvada Police Departments and the FBI Rocky Mountain Safe Streets Task Force are investigating four bank robberies, one casing and one attempted bank robbery believed to have been committed by the same individual.

The suspect presented a note, received money and fled the bank.
said they found Avila dead, and added it was believed law enforcement did not fire any shots. The Arapahoe County Coroner’s Office ruled Avila’s death a suicide, from a single gunshot wound to the head. The criminal complaint charging Avila has been unsealed and dismissed as a result of his suicide.

Memorial Day ceremonies planned Littleton, Fort Logan events pay tribute to military veterans By Tom Munds
tmunds@colorado communitymedia.com Two Littleton cemeteries and Fort Logan National Cemetery are among sites holding Memorial Day events to pay tribute to fallen veterans. The tradition that established the Memorial Day events says the day is meant “to honor all veterans laid to rest in this sacred national cemetery, to all the prisoners of war and those missing in action who never returned, to all who have served and those who, even now, guard the gates of freedom worldwide.” On May 25, the day’s first Memorial Day ceremony starts at 8 a.m. in the Veterans’ Circle at Littleton Cemetery, located at 6155 S. Prince St. A second, mirror-image service will be held at 10 a.m. at the Littleton World War II Memorial in Ketring Park, 6000 S. Gallup St. Both ceremonies in Littleton, sponsored by the Pat Hannon Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 4666 and the George C. Evans American Legion Post 103, follow the same program, with the El Jebel Pipe Band playing “Amazing Grace” and the All Veterans Honor Guard firing the traditional 21-gun

salute. The ceremonies will include reading of the poem “In Flanders Fields,” and the poem “My Plea” by Marine Lance Cpl. Patrick Hannon, the first Littleton resident to die in the Vietnam War. There will also be a reading of a poem written by Navy SEAL Danny Dietz. At 11 a.m. there will be a ceremony near the lake at Fort Logan National Cemetery, 3698 S. Sheridan Blvd. The ceremony is sponsored by the Associated Veterans of Colorado. Featured speakers include Gov. John Hickenlooper and Lori Amos of the Veterans Health Administration. As part of the ceremonies, a group representing the Veterans of Foreign Wars Ladies Auxiliary, the American Legion Auxiliary, the Retired Enlisted Association Auxiliary and the Gold Star Wives will place a ceremonial wreath at a symbolic grave marker, the honor guard will raise their rifles, fire the 21-gun salute and the bugle will play “Taps,” sending the echo across the rows and rows of gleaming white markers standing in arrow-straight rows. In case the weather is bad, the services will be held at Verle Huffman VFW Post 9644 at 2680 W. Hampden Ave. in Sheridan. After the Fort Logan ceremonies, VFW Post 9644 and its Ladies Auxiliary will host a luncheon at the facility, two blocks east of Federal Boulevard on Hampden Avenue.

VOICES
LOCAL
In some cases, it’s all about the ownership Last week I attended and participated in a leadership retreat. There were many agenda items and topics that were covered over two days, but one topic really caught my attention: ownership. As I took part in the conversation and worked through the exercise of who owns specific responsibilities and functions within an organization I couldn’t help but think about how I think about ownership in my personal life as well. So even though ownership should be fairly obvious in the business world as roles and responsibilities, job descriptions and organizational charts help to define who in the company owns a specific function, many times true ownership slips through the cracks. Or worse, sometimes in a company or organization ownership often gets overlooked as we all too often play the blame game. It is always easier to deflect a poor outcome or a missed goal on another department or person in the company instead of owning it and being held accountable for delivering results. Another reason that ownership and accountability come in second place behind excuse-making is that managers fail to inspect what they expect. And when this happens, the tendency is for people to take
shortcuts, fall short on quality, and ultimately miss expected deliverables and goals. Now what about our personal lives? What happens when there is no company or organization or manager to hold us accountable for doing the things we Michael Norton want to do, should do, and even have to do? WINNING Are we owning it? I think for some WORDS people it is just as easy to point to other people, circumstances and events as a reason or excuse for not meeting a specific goal or following through on a project or commitment instead of owning it themselves. Some companies meet with success in spite of themselves, but truly successful companies excel when it comes to accountability and ownership. So what would happen if we excelled at owning it in our personal lives too? I mean, some of us get away with winging it or flying by the seat of our pants and cruise under the account-
ability radar and still find a way to succeed. Could be short-term success, but some of us find a way to get by. But what I am talking about is truly owning it, and by “it” I mean all the things that we set our mind on, all of our relationships, commitments, hobbies and projects that we endeavor to pursue. In the absence of anyone else holding us accountable, can we inspect what we expect from ourselves? Maybe you are more of the Nike kind of person and “just do it.” But there is a difference between the Nike tagline, “Just Do It,” and owning it. They are certainly complementary because when we have the “owning it” part internalized, the “doing it” part will surely follow. So how are you doing when it comes to owning it? Whether it’s personally or professionally, and if you have any questions about how to “own it,” I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@gmail.com. And when we live up to “owning it,” it really will be a better than good week. Michael Norton is a resident of Castle Rock, the former president of the Zig Ziglar Corporation, a strategic consultant, and a business and personal coach.
times. However, investors working with advisors are less likely to make shortterm trades that ruin long-term goals. The difference in these long-term returns is hard to put a price tag on. When an investor looks back over sevPatricia Kummer eral years of performance, it is virtually FINANCIAL to guess STRATEGIES impossible if they would have stayed the course without an advisor or not. Returns are just one of the components of a good investment experience. Addressing your goals and reducing risk through an optimum mix of holdings is even more difficult. Knowing when to make changes in your positions and where to take tax-efficient distributions is very challenging. Taking profits and buying the underdog is naturally uncomfortable and therefore best left to an objective party. And keeping an eye on different markets around the world is very time-consuming. Offering these services along with wading through research and analysts’ reports is more than a full-time job. I am not sure how you put a price tag on these types of services that can make or break your future. However, it is important to understand what you are paying for, and therefore transparency is crucial in the
financial arena today. Work with a registered investment advisor as they offer full disclosure on any fees associated with their services. The latest headline in financial advertising is something called a robo advisor. This is a computer that buys positions for you, which of course will be less expensive than personal advice. However, removing the relationship and the understanding of goals is what caused the Magellan investors to lose money during 13 stellar years. There will be no one to counsel investors when times get difficult. I personally would not want a computer dictating what I should be invested in, but cost-conscious people will be attracted to this until the next market correction. Take the time to build a relationship with your advisor and understand what fees you are paying and what services you are entitled to. Rely on them as a ready source of unbiased information that empowers you to make good decisions. Then you could be getting the best deal of the century.

Accusations have power, true or false There is a knock on the door. Two men in uniforms are standing outside, and one says, “You’re under arrest.” “What for?” “You know what you have done.” But you don’t know. It’s one of my worst nightmares. Variations of it have happened, just not the arrest part. Being wrongly accused happens all of the time, in life and in fiction. The best example in fiction might be Franz Kafka’s novel “The Trial.” A man is arrested and never told why, and readers never find out why either. At least Alfred Hitchcock explained things. One of Hitchcock’s central themes was the wrong man. In film after film, a man is accused and sought for something he didn’t do. “The 39 Steps” is a favorite of mine. Of course “North by Northwest,” and even

Assessing the real worth of advice No one wants to pay too much for anything. We think we need to get things “on sale” to get a good deal. However, when it comes to services of any kind, it can be a challenge to calculate the value for the cost, much less find a sale. The last time I got estimates for house painting or tree trimming, I was stunned. By the time you find someone reputable to do the work and make sure you get the best quality, the idea of a sale is long gone. Assessing value for any service is difficult, yet when it comes to financial advice, good service can be invaluable if it creates a better future. Investments are an item that you purchase for a cost. Here it makes sense to try and find a sale. On the other hand, financial advice is a service and you want the most reputable and the best quality firm you can find. An objective advisor is crucial for the more intrinsic value items such as achieving your personal goals. It is important to understand what advice costs, but it may be difficult to assess the value if you don’t realize what all the benefits are. One good example of this is a comment from the famous mutual fund manager Peter Lynch, who managed the Fidelity Magellan fund for years. Between 1977 and 1990, Lynch averaged a 29.2% annual return, consistently more than doubling the S&P 500 index and making it the best-performing mutual fund in the world. He was concerned that the average investor in his fund during that period of time actually lost money. This occurred due to poor investor behavior, jumping in and out of the fund at the wrong

QUIET DESPERATION
“The Wrong Man.” I was watching Dr. Phil. (No comments.) A man was trying to prove his innocence. It was difficult to watch because everything was against him. I thought of “The Trial,” and my own experiences. The biggest was a 1963 murder case that involved me. Some people in Ohio, where it happened, thought
I did it. The case went to trial in 2001, and the defendant was found not guilty. Many years later, a Colorado man thought
he had figured everything out, and accused me. It was libelous. I’ll save all of that for another day. Some college students like to make things up about their teachers. Disgruntled students can turn the department into “The Children’s Hour” just by going to the dean’s office. My hour was in 1984. I was called to the dean’s office, and I asked why. He said, “You know what you have done.” Out of respect for the dead, I won’t tell you what I thought of him that day, or what I still think of him today. What I have been through could have been a lot worse. The wrong man is released from a prison somewhere almost every week. There are many new technologies that weren’t available to investigators years ago. Smith continues on Page 10

Sidewalk squabble seen as sign of change
Council considers upping days outdoor displays are allowed
By Jennifer Smith
jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com
Littleton City Council went back to the drawing board with the sidewalk squabble on May 12, instructing staff to come back to the table with an entirely new version of an ordinance designed to contain downtown clutter. “You are the decision-makers for the use of the public right of way,” City Manager Michael Penny told council. After much discussion, the seven councilmembers seemed to coalesce around a plan that would lease limited sidewalk space to merchants for up to eight days a month, but require them to use standard-
ized display carts designed by a city contractor as part of a “streetscaping” plan that’s already in the works. If the councilmembers eventually approve that plan, it would replace a controversial ordinance that limits outdoor displays of merchandise to three days a month per store, passed last year in the wake of complaints that some merchants were getting carried away. Such displays were technically forbidden altogether prior to that, though the rule was rarely enforced. Throughout the May 12 discussion, opinions ranged from Councilmember Debbie Brinkman’s preference for banning all outdoor displays to Councilmember Peggy Cole’s suggestion to place no limits on them whatsoever and “see what happens.” Penny said not one person has applied for a permit for outdoor displays since the
ordinance was enacted, and that only a dozen or so businesses even want to put any merchandise on the sidewalks at all. “If our intent is to have nobody do it, I think we accomplished that by having it be just three days a month,” said Mayor Pro Tem Bruce Beckman. “It’s more of an annoyance than anything related to a business plan. … Either we don’t do it at all, or if our intent is to allow it, allow it reasonably.” Penny also pointed out that the city already does a lot to benefit downtown, including events like the Little Jam concert and the Criterium bicycle race and free services like marketing and business seminars. “I don’t want to introduce the possibility of chaos at a time when we’ve been working so hard to increase our visibility,” said Mayor Phil Cernanec. At the heart of the issue is disagree-

I watch “Forensic Files.” One man was imprisoned for 16 years for a crime he didn’t commit. The man on Dr. Phil looked guilty. It bothered me that I thought he looked guilty, without knowing the whole story. Did I think that Drew Peterson looked guilty, or that Casey Anthony looked guilty? Peterson is handsome and Anthony is attractive. This man wasn’t handsome. His eyes looked too intense, and his mannerisms were unusual. I am sure I would have looked like a zombie if that had been me. The man took a polygraph test. Dr. Phil told him the results on camera. The man’s wife, who believed in him just like Jerry Sandusky’s wife believes in Sandusky, was sitting next to him. He had been accused of sexually molest-
ment among various factions — including council and the Historic Downtown Littleton Merchants — about how the hub of Littleton should represent the city. With the imminence of several properties turning over — the old Jose’s restaurant and Valley Feed & Supply buildings are for sale, and the View House and a seafood restaurant are preparing to open — Penny said there’s a change in mindset happening. “We’re bringing in folks who have a different expectation of what downtown is,” he said. “It’s about how to mesh them with those who have been there through the dry years.” “What I hear is that folks really like the mix,” said Councilmember Jerry Valdes. “Every other jurisdiction wants what we have. ... I hope our businesses continue to lead the way, and not try to emulate other cities.”
ing his grandson. I thought, “This is not a good idea,” and, “Why am I watching this?” Have you ever been accused of something you didn’t do? Have you ever taken the fall for something you didn’t do, to spare someone else? Someone else or something else is very often blamed. It’s human nature. “He did it!” That has become more difficult, now that there are cameras everywhere. A life can be ruined or ended by a handful of hurtful words and misdirected accusations. The Salem witch trials resulted in the executions of 20 people, most of them women. Dr. Phil said, very slowly, that the man’s answers on the polygraph test were “deceptive.” Craig Marshall Smith is an artist, educator and Highlands Ranch resident.

Chief: Littleton Police efficient, effective By Jennifer Smith
jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com Littleton Police Chief Doug Stephens says Littleton is a safe city, and ValuePenguin agrees. The research firm analyzed the most recent FBI Crime Report to determine the safety of 81 Colorado cities. It assigned them scores ranging from the safest, Yuma at 42, to the least safe, Pueblo at 5,423. Littleton rated about average at 1,522, coming in as the ninth-safest city with a population of 20,000 or more, and 43rd overall. The city released that news the day after Stephens updated Littleton City Council on the status of his department, fresh off the case of the Essex House Motel standoff in which an FBI agent was shot by a bank-robbery suspect just four days before. “Thanks to the support of the community, I
had no doubt we could handle that situation,” he said. While property crimes were down 8 percent last quarter from the one prior, Stephens said crimes against people, including kidnapping and assault, were actually up 26 percent. But, he said, those crimes always increase as the weather improves. All of them involved people who knew each other except one, which was a bar fight, and all but two occurred in a private residence. “We’re pretty much on par with where it should be, and it’s no cause for alarm at this point,” he said. Mayor Pro Tem Bruce Beckman, a retired LPD commander, suggested Stephens will likely want to look at increasing the number of officers in the near future. “They’re mostly happening in private residences, and we’re busy trying to give you more private residences,” said Beckman. Stephens said bringing back community policing and a crime analyst, along with an improved data-collection system, has made the department more efficient, effective and proactive in the two years he’s been here. It’s al-
lowed the officers to spend less time responding to calls and more time patrolling trouble spots to prevent problems in the first place, he said. “Our officers here appear to be motivated in doing their jobs,” he said. It’s also helped alleviate the gang problem in the city that seemed to be burgeoning out of control in 2012, when there was a gang-related murder in the Progress Stephens Park neighborhood. “Now I’m very confident saying we have no gang issues in this city,” he said. Stephens has also implemented a volunteer victim-advocate program, dedicated a detective to crimes against the city’s ever-growing senior population, and sent half of the sworn personnel to crisis-intervention training with a goal of 100 percent as soon as possible. The department also gained accreditation for the fourth time, a rigorous process that happens every three years, and successfully passed an independent audit.
Future plans include the implementation of a volunteer community-safety program, funded through a federal grant, whereby trained citizens would patrol neighborhoods in marked car. “It’s crime prevention through increased visibility,” Stephens said. Plans do not include buying body cameras for officers, at least not in the immediate future. “I support body cameras,” Stephens said. “They’ve proved to be a great tool for law enforcement. But I don’t think right now is the time for Littleton to delve into them. The bottom of the pool is very deep.” He cited privacy concerns and untested legal questions as his primary reason, but said cost is another. To outfit all 72 officers would cost about $123,000 for cameras that only last a year or two, he said, and data storage would run about $86,000 a year. While grants exist to fund them, they come with strings, said Stephens. “For now we’re going to stay on the sidelines of cameras for the Littleton Police Department,” he said.

It is exhibited at the quaint Cake Crumbs Bakery in Park Hill through June 13. One can happily indulge in good coffee and a cinnamon roll there while enjoying the art.

Farmers markets focus on freshness Venues offer best of local goods well into autumn By Sonya Ellingboe
sellingboe@colorado communitymedia.com The announcement of a new farmers market in the area led us to look up what else is available. We’d be glad to hear of others we have missed in the south suburban area.
Sana Hamelin, owner of The Denver Cat Company, Denver’s only cat-friendly cafe, was served a legal hair ball May 7 by a customer claiming that one of the resident felines bit her hand in Penny Parker February, according to a story on MILE HIGH the Eater Denver LIFE website (www. denver.eater. com). “After it became apparent that the alleged cat bite was causing a stir, Rocky Mountain Feline Rescue, the original cat adoption partner, terminated its business dealings with the cat cafe,” according to the Eater story. “Since then, For the Love of Paws and Planet Pet stepped in to provide kitties for adoption at this feline-friendly spot.” Hamelin took to Facebook to plead her case to fans. The post said: “Guys, I’m having a very hard time. Although I’m working, all I can do is serve customers and then take breaks to cry. … For some perspective on how hard this solitary endeavor of starting and running this rescue effort has been for me, consider that I drive a wreck of a truck that I got off Craigslist and I shivered through the whole winter because it doesn’t have heat (and now I’ll sweat through the whole summer because it doesn’t have A/C either). I never have a weekend off, I live in a tiny apartment, and I haven’t taken a vacation in over three years. I’m tired.” You can donate by going to www. denvercatco.com/donate/, or use the Go Fund Me site at www.gofundme. com/u3kd7g8.

The power of big flower
Price Davis, Denver-based master craftsman and artist, recently installed the Denver Lily, a nearly 30-foot-tall sculpture, at Denver International Airport. The three-piece, three-story sculpture, comprised of a base, flower pot and a stemmed flower with pod and leaves, is made of hand-forged sheets of steel that were stained and powdercoated. The sculpture is part of Davis’ “Global Peace Through Art” initiative. “We must celebrate the skilled artists that bring us beauty in our everyday lives. Art should inspire and take into consideration the diversity of its viewers,” Davis said about the initiative. The lily, a symbol of relationships and friendship, will welcome travelers to DIA through July.

THEY SAID IT: UNIQUE – “Because we have a pretty diverse class as far as where everybody is going after graduation. There are even a lot of kids going to other countries.” — Tori Allen, Littleton High School
DETERMINED – “Our students work so hard both in the classroom and on the field. We are constantly looking ahead to be as successful as possible.” — Walker Crowley, Cherry Creek High School
RELENTLESS – “We faced so many challenges and changes but we stayed positive and succeeded.” — Dolly Ostrowski, Englewood High School
RIDICULOUS – “Both good and bad. We’ve been one of the rowdiest classes but also one of the smartest.” — Kelly Gold, Highlands Ranch High School
TOGETHER – “Our class song is ‘We’re all in This Together.’ It’s fitting because at Legend, we really are a family.” — Zach Lyman, Legend High School
RESILIENT – “Through the class of 2015’s four years at Chaparral, seven members of the Chaparral family have passed away… rather than falling to the struggle or the pain, the class of 2015 came together and rose up to support those in need…” — Cara Redalen, Chaparral High School

My favorite thing about high school was track and field and competing on our track team for the Eagles and with the coaches. I think all my greatest highlights in high school have been while competing for Valor.
I am looking forward to be able to throw hammer because that is my main event. I only get to throw it once or twice a week. In college, that is going to be my main event. So I will be able to do that more and I am really excited.

Writer bases work on lives of her ancestors Tiffenbach’s family roots go back to German immigrants By Sonya Ellingboe
sellingboe@colorado communitymedia.com Stories of Sophia, Henrietta, Louisa, Albertina, Magdalena, Carolina and Eliza are based on Highlands Ranch writer Lanie Tiffenbach’s widespread research and genealogical study about her Minnesota German immigrant foremothers. She writes that she used the material she had accumulated and wove fictional stories based on family lore, social and regional history — enhanced by her knowledge of quilting. While there are similarities — hardships and joys of family life in 19th-century rural Minnesota, frequent pregnancies, winter blizzards, Indian visits and scares — each story has a distinctive format. Minnesota native Tiffenbach, a founding member of today’s Highlands Ranch Quilting Bee, has a personal collection of antique quilts, family photos and vintage photo-
graphs that illustrate her fictional, but realistic stories about ancestors who lived in and around New Ulm, Minnesota. “Sophia’s Story” is based on the life of Tiffinbach’s great-great-great-aunt Albertina Stue Otto, born in 1815 in East Pomerania, Prussia — the first known family immigrant to America from Europe. Sophia, her husband Christoph, both in their 40s, and their six children, discouraged by the lack of opportunity in Germany, embark on a really difficult journey in steerage to seek a better life in America. Sophia’s description of the sea journey in a letter to her mother leaves one amazed that they survived to arrive in New York. They first travel to Chicago by train, where Christoph, a teacher and pastor, finds a teaching position and the older children have jobs. They plan to save money and travel to Wisconsin to buy a farm. And, Sophia is pregnant again. She also had made a friend who is a quilter and learns to use her scraps and worn-out clothing to create patchwork quilts. It is a new concept for Sophia, which contributes greatly to her happiness due to the quilts’
beauty and the sociable aspect of stitching and chatting with another woman at times — a joy Tiffenbach shares today in her association with the Highlands Ranch Quilting Bee. The oldest sons go ahead to Minnesota to work and hopefully purchase a farm by 1858. Baby Louisa is born and in 1859, farmland is purchased. In December, Sophia is piecing a Log Cabin patterned quilt and planning to move with the three younger girls to Minnesota, while Christoph and the two older girls stay longer in Chicago to earn money. In May 1860, she and the children, after a train trip to St. Paul, take a steamboat down the Minnesota River to St. Peter, where the sons met them with an oxen-drawn wagon to take them to a partially completed cabin on their beautiful farmland. She continues to quilt in her precious spare time as the family gradually acquires livestock and plants crops and a garden, and the boys also hunt and fish for food. She meets Native Americans who have been deprived of their land, and a flock of blackbirds demolishes the family’s crops.
Lincoln is elected president and the Civil War begins in the South. In 1861, Christoph and the older daughters arrive and the story goes on through letters to the mother in Germany, with details of farm life and the parents’ hope that their older sons will not enlist, as well as accounts of the Great Sioux Uprising. The stories continue through one by Sophia’s youngest daughter Louisa Otto, who writes in her diary from 1871 to 1908, as she marries and raises a family where nine of 12 children survived. The final chapter is about Eliza Peters Meyer, Tiffenbach’s great-grandmother (her mother’s paternal grandmother), who emigrated from Germany in 1884 with her husband and son. She, too, was a quilter, and Tiffenbach offers her story as a memoir, written in 1939. Meyer family farms remained in the family after 100 years. Tiffenbach is scheduled to speak to the Highlands Ranch Genealogical Society in September about her book and related research. It is available from her at tiffenbach@gmail.com, 303-791-0086, and is at Tattered Cover Aspen Grove.

Briarwood hires new chef
Lisa Paterson, owner of The Briarwood Inn, a Colorado fine dining restaurant since 1979, has announced that the restaurant is launching a new phase with the hiring of Chef Jeff Jones, previously executive chef of Parallel 17. Paterson, daughter of Reid Pasko, the original owner of the Briarwood Inn, leads operations and Duncan Newman will continue to serve as the general manager. Together the new management team will pilot the next phase of the 285-seat fine dining restaurant, which will focus on a chef-driven concept that stays true to its roots while evolving with the Colorado dining scene. Most recently, the Briarwood Inn has introduced a 175-seat garden terrace and patio area. A graduate of Le Cordon Bleu, with six years of Colorado restaurant experience, Jones will revamp the menu to focus on locally sourced and seasonally focused menu items. “The Briarwood Inn is a Colorado institution and I’m honored to have been brought on as a part of this family,” Jones said. “This restaurant has a rich history of being one of Denver metro’s finest dining establishments and I’m looking forward to creating dishes and experiences for new and familiar faces.” A new menu is expected to launch this summer. The Briarwood Inn is nestled in the foothills of Golden at 1630 Eighth St.

Lawmakers say future unclear for VA hospital Ballooning cost has led to widespread frustration By Dan Elliott
Associated Press The chairmen of the House and Senate Veterans Affairs committees said last week the future of an over-budget VA hospital under construction in Aurora is unclear because the Department of Veterans Affairs hasn’t come up with an acceptable plan for funding it. Sen. Johnny Isakson of Georgia and Rep. Jeff Miller of Florida also criticized the VA for not punishing those responsible for the overrun. The rare joint statement shows how unhappy Congress is with the project and with the VA’s response. The hospital is expected to cost more than $1.7 billion, nearly triple an estimate the VA gave last year. Medical equipment, furniture and staff training will cost an additional $340 million, the VA has said. The new facility will replace an aging and crowded one. During a hearing in Colorado last month, Isakson said it “would be a stupid mistake” not to finish the hospital, but his joint statement with Miller contained a warning. “Because of a near complete and total lack of focus on the project at the highest levels of VA and the department’s disregard for congressional oversight, the future of the Denver replacement hospital is unclear,” they said. Three members of Colorado’s con-
gressional delegation said they were also unhappy with the VA’s response, but the hospital must be finished. The statement was released by Sen. Michael Bennet, a Democrat, and Sen. Cory Gardner and Rep. Mike Coffman, both Republicans. Earlier in the day, a VA official told a House subcommittee — chaired by Coffman — that the department is improperly spending at least $5 billion a year without using the competitive bidding and written contracts required by law. The VA wants to finish the Denver hospital with $730 million from a $5 billion fund that Congress set up to reduce wait times for veterans to get health care. Lawmakers from both parties rejected that plan May 12. Sen. Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut, the top Democrat on the Senate Veterans Affairs committee, said it was unacceptable to delay health-care improvements in his state and others to accommodate cost overruns at a single site. The department stuck by the proposal May 14, releasing a statement saying, “Given the fiscal environment, VA believes this is the right choice that will allow for timely completion of the Denver project and the best option for taxpayers.” Isakson and Miller again criticized the VA for not holding anyone accountable for the botched Denver project. The VA blames a flawed design process and other problems for the overruns. The department launched two internal investigations and has promised to punish those responsible for the problems, but no firings have been announced, angering many members of Congress.

Spiritual Voices Spring Concert
The Bennie L. Williams Spiritual Voices will perform with guest artist Corey Harris at 7:30 p.m. Friday, May 29, at Bethany Lutheran Church, 4500 E. Hampden Ave., Cherry Hills Village. African-American slaves used the spirituals to affirm their essential humanity in the face of oppression. The words of the songs were often stories from the Bible that told about freedom and a hope for a better future. The influence of the spirituals became the basis for the blues. Born out of African rhythms and combined with instrumentation the blues are about personal struggle and perseverance, and have become an expression of cultural and political rebellion. Tickets available at http://www.blwspiritualvoices.org/events. html, via email at blw.spiritual.voices@gmail.com, or by calling 720-460-8219.

Littleton’s Noah McGhee, left, battled to get ahead of Caleb Ojenne of Palmer Ridge in the May 16 Class 4A 200-meter dash finals at the Colorado State Track and Field Championships. McGhee finished second in the 200 but won the gold medal in the 100-meter dash. Photos by Tom Munds
No easy events at state track meet Area teams battle for points in tough, competitive fields By Tom Munds
tmunds@colorado communitymedia.com The top competitors assembled at Jefferson County Stadium May 14-16 for the Colorado Track and Field Championships, so individual medals and team points were hard to earn. Cherry Creek’s boys had the highest finish of any local schools as they took second place in the Class 5A standings with 44.5 points; Fountain Fort Carson took top honors with 94 points. Arapahoe was 19th with 19.5 points, and Heritage was 25th in the field of 38 teams. The Bruins were also the top local finisher in the Class 5A girls division, where they placed sixth. Arapahoe was 20th in the field of 48 schools. Jordyn Colter helped the Cherry Creek girls team score as she won the 800-meter run and the 1,600-meter run. She ran the 800 in a meet record time of 2:04, and she also turned in a record time of 4:48 in the 1,600. Amy Paxton competed in the pole vault for the Bruins. “I am a gymnast, one of my coaches suggested I give pole vault a try, and I found I loved it,” Paxton said as she waited for her turn to compete in the May 16 finals. “I think the technique for pole vault is similar to the uneven parallel bars in gymnastics.” The sophomore said pole vault now is her favorite sport. Her personal best is 11 feet, 6 inches, and she said she wanted to clear 12 feet at state. She didn’t reach her goal, but she did clear 10 feet, 6 inches, and finished tied for seventh place. Senior Austin Lienemann of the Arapahoe track team placed third in the 300-meter hurdles and fifth in the 110-meter hurdles. “My dad started me running hurdles when I was in the seventh grade. I liked it, and I stuck with it,” he said after the 110 race. “I like the 300 best because it is a longer race. But today will be challenging because eight other guys are trying to get to
Larry Lienemann was among those honored at the May 16 finals of Colroado State Track and Field Championships for his devotion and dedication to track and field competition. Lienemann coached track for 50 years, including 29 years at Arapahoe High School. He also is credited with starting the Liberty Bell Invitational Track Meet. Arapahoe’s Austin Lienemann, right, pushes to try to catch Regis Jesuit’s Justice Taylor in the May 16 Class 5A finals 110-meter hurdles at the Colorado State Track and Field Championship. Lienemann finished fifth in the 110 hurdles but took third place in the 300-meter hurdles. the finish line first.” Lienemann also plays golf and wrestles for the Warriors. “The mental factor is important in all three sports I play,” he said. “I think each sport helps me do better in the other two sports.” At the other end of the stadium, Heritage senior Weston Garner finished ninth in the Class 5A shot put. “I throw the discus and the shot,” he said after receiving his medal. “I didn’t have my best day with the shot put today. But I like the discus better, and I finished third in
that competition.” He said good technique is the key to doing well in discus. “You need muscle of course,” he said. “But with good technique you can throw the disc a long way.” Littleton competed in Class 4A, where the Lions boys finished 11th and the girls team finished 30th. Noah McGhee was the top point-scorer for the Lions, winning the 100-meter dash and placing second in the 200-meter dash. “I like both events, but I like the 200 best because it is longer,” he said. “In both races,
coming out of the starting blocks is a key to running a good time. My coaches and I work on starts every day in practice.” He said being at the state meet is very special. “I am blessed with speed, and I try to use it to the best of my ability,” he said. “Being here today shows all the hard work paid off.” Bobbi Pettit threw the shot for Littleton and finished fifth. “I started competing in the disc and shot in the seventh grade,” she said. “I was pretty good at it so I stuck with it. I really enjoy the competition, and you make friends with the girls you are competing against.” She said she lifts weights to get stronger for the field events, and in the winter she is also a diver for the Lions girls swim team.

Eagles tennis duo lands third at state
SPORTS ROUNDUP Girls Soccer
Baseball
ThunderRidge 4, Cherry Creek 1 - Cherry Creek matched ThunderRidge for the first 55 minutes of their quarterfinal match, but three goals by the Grizzlies in the final 25 minutes ended the Bruins season on May 13. Cherry Creek finishes the season with 13 wins, the most wins in a season since the State Championship winning team in 2012.
Boys Lacrosse Cherry Creek 13, Regis Jesuit 10 - The fourth time was the charm for the Bruins as they shook off the ghosts of three straight State Runner-up finishes to defeat Regis Jesuit and win the Class 5A Boys Lacrosse State Championship on May 15. The State Championship is the fifth in program history, tying Kent Denver for the most all-time for Boys Lacrosse as a sanctioned sport. Cherry Creek 13, Kent Denver 5 - A stingy defense led the Bruins to a win over Kent Denver in the Class 5A Boys Lacrosse Semifinals on May 13. Henry Adams and Asher Nolting each scored three goals as Cherry Creek opened a 10-goal lead late in the fourth. A run of four consecutive goals in the first four minutes of the third quarter propelled Cherry Creek to the fourth-straight State Championship appearance.
Girls Lacrosse Cherry Creek 18, Denver East 11 - Cherry Creek and Denver East went into the halftime break knotted at 8-8, but the second-half effort on both ends of the field from the Bruins lifted them to a win in the Girls Lacrosse State Semifinals on May 16. Cherry Creek 10, Rampart 9 - The Bruins clawed out of a 5-1 halftime deficit to book a trip to the CHSAA Girls Lacrosse Semifinals with a come-from-behind win over Rampart on May 13. Caroline Perry and Eliza Radochonski made the second-straight semifinal appearance for Cherry Creek possible by scoring four and three goals, respectively.
Rock Canyon 5, Cherry Creek 1 - Cherry Creek’s 20-win season came to an end in a loss to Rock Canyon at the Class 5A Baseball Championships on May 17. The Bruins record of 20-4 is one win better than last season and is the fourth 20-win season for the Bruins in the last six seasons. Chatfield 2, Cherry Creek 1 - The Bruins were defeated by a fine pitching performance in a loss to Chatfield at the double-elimination Class 5A Baseball Championships early on the morning of May 17. Cherry Creek 4, Grandview 1 - Tanner O’Tremba pitched the Bruins to win in the first round of the Class 5A Baseball Championships by shutting Grandview out and allowing only three hits in five innings on May 16. Cody Wood shut the door on Grandview pitching a perfect seventh inning with two strikeouts for the save. Parker Jax smacked a RBI double and Carson Jax and Blake Benedetti each drove a run in for Cherry Creek. Cherry Creek 8, Mullen 0 - Cherry Creek advanced to the State Tournament with its second consecutive shutout to take the District 1 Championship with a win over Mullen on May 12. Blake Goldsberry tossed a three-hit, complete-game shut out on the mound and went 2-for-3 at the plate with two RBIs and a run scored. Parker Jax and Andrew Chavez each drove in two runs in the win. Cherry Creek 3, Rangeview 0 - Nick Ulmer held Rangeview scoreless through 5.1 innings on the mound to send the Bruins to a win in the opening game of Class 5A District 1 on May 12. Dylan Calvey and Carson Jax each drove a run in and Parker Jax finished 2-for-3 with a triple for the Bruins. Windsor 12, Littleton 2 - Littleton fell in a season-ending loss in the opening game in Class 4A District 1 play at the hands of Windsor on May 11. Christian Corah finished 3-for-4 at the plate and Scott Robb and Jarod Dreiling each drove a run in for the Lions. Littleton finishes the season with an 11-9 record to match the win totals combined from the last four seasons.
Heritage No. 3 doubles team does well at 5A tournament By Tom Munds tmunds@colorado communitymedia.com Caroline McLeod and Olivia Woods smiled as they talked about how they were able to place third in No. 3 doubles competition at the May 13 finals of the Class 5A girls tennis tournament. “I am really proud of our team because we work well together,” Woods said after the third-place match. “I feel our style of play complements each other, and we play well enough to finish high in the standings. The Heritage doubles team was among the 176 tennis players from 34 schools who made it to the three-day state finals. The Heritage No. 3 doubles team opened state tournament competition by besting Arapahoe, 7-5, 6-3. McLeod and Woods continued their winning ways in the quarterfinals, beating Lakewood in three sets, 3-6, 6-1, 6-4. The Eagles lost in the championship semifinals to Fairview and moved into the playbacks. They beat Fruita Monument 6-3, 6-1. In the third-place match, they edged a tough Chatfield team in straight sets, 7-6, 7-6. McLeod, a junior, and Woods, a sophomore, were put together as a doubles team by the Heritage coach. The girls felt they were
teamed up because they worked well together on the court. McLeod said she likes playing doubles, and her favorite part of the game is serving because she likes the power and being in control. Woods, her doubles teammate, said she prefers to play doubles because she likes being part of a team. Both players said they got started playing tennis when their parents put them in lessons when they were small. They grew to love the game, and now the only sport either girl plays is tennis. Cherry Creek won the state team title with 87 points, 20 points ahead of second-place Fairview. Heritage finished tied for seventh with 11 points, and Arapahoe was 10th with seven points. In addition to the Eagles’ doubles team, athletes from local schools who placed in the top four include Anshika Singh and Gloria Son, who won the No. 2 and No. 3 singles championships respectively for Cherry Creek. The Bruins also won titles at No. 2 ( Jessie Murphy and Mariela Hollines), No. 3 ( Julia Mannino and Sarah Grace Walker) and No. 4 (Hannah Peterson and Allison Murphy) doubles. Kalyssa Hall of Cherry Creek was second in No. 1 singles, and Maddie Roberts and Micha Handler of Cherry Creek were second in No. 2 doubles. The Arapahoe duo of Natalie Sloboth and Sarah Shortall finished fourth in No. 1 doubles.

‘Mad Max: Fury Road’ a can’t-miss thrill New film lives up to power of iconic series
“Mad Max: Fury Road,” a Warner Bros. release, is rated R by the Motion Picture Association of America for “intense sequences of violence throughout, and for disturbing images.” Running time: 120 minutes. Four stars out of four.
By Lindsey Bahr
Associated Press
The silences in “Mad Max: Fury Road” are unsettling. The moments are few and infrequent, but it’s not until the fiery roar of the engines and the thrashing of the guitars are suddenly stripped away that you can fully feel how deeply the film has flooded your being. The theater — and your heart — pulsate with the lack as you recover and wait for more. It’s in the silences that director George Miller’s singular genius becomes evident, and for good reason: It’s the only time the film allows you to breathe. Thirty years after Miller gave the world “Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome,” he’s returned to his own post-apocalyptic world and created an exceptional, fearless and poetic masterpiece that’s primed to become a modern classic. In this anarchic world, Max Rockatansky
(Tom Hardy) is a lone wolf. As he tells us in the prologue, he’s a man whose past traumas have reduced him to a single instinct: survival. Max’s only humanity seems to be in his haunting visions of a child asking for protection. Otherwise, he’s gone full animal. As Max, Hardy doesn’t so much speak. He grunts and growls and scurries for freedom. But Max quickly gets entangled with others when the warlords of the wasteland put a fish hook in his neck and strap him on as a hood ornament to chase after the rogue Furiosa (Charlize Theron). She’s managed to escape the Citadel in a powerful, lumbering War Rig with the wives of their tyrannical leader Immortan Joe (Hugh Keays-Byrne, who also played Toecutter in “Mad Max”).
Much of the film is spent with the women, and eventually Max, on the rig as they race across the desert away from the painted fighters on their tail. Furiosa, seeking redemption for untold sins, has made it her purpose to bring the wives to “the green place” — an idyllic haven she was taken from as a child. The wives, played by Rosie HuntingtonWhiteley, Riley Keough, Abbey Lee, Courtney Eaton and Zoe Kravitz, are all ethereal, spiritual beauties. Though physically perfect and visibly unmarked by the harsh conditions of the land, as Immortan Joe’s property, their collective trauma is more insidious. When they fight back and jump in to help their more grizzled and skilled travel mates, they do so without fear or hesitation. Looking almost sturdy in comparison, it is Theron who steals the show as the steelyeyed, one-armed, and aptly named Furiosa. Her fierce and unwavering commitment to her self-assigned mission propels the sparse narrative and invigorates those around her, when death often seems like not just the easier option, but probably the more appealing one, too. Painted and scarred to the point of dis-

guise, Nicholas Hoult is also a standout as Nux, an unlucky, but endearingly devoted Immortan Joe foot soldier who delivers on one of the few actual character arcs of the film. Ultimately, “Mad Max: Fury Road” is almost aggressively anti-character, though. The dialogue is beautifully lean and purposeful, allowing what does exist to have maximum impact. For Theron and Hardy, their triumphant performances are in their eyes. In the end, it is the bright, fresh visuals juxtaposed with the impressively choreographed and always surprising action and pacing that make the film. Cinematographer John Seale (“The English Patient”) has infused the barren landscape with a feast of striking, saturated colors, while Miller has made a two-hour race across the desert into a truly riveting must-see and see again. As we drive full speed into another summer (and half-decade) of sequels and interconnected universes, Miller has reminded us that blockbusters have the potential to not only be art, but radically visionary — even the fourth in a series. What a lovely day, indeed.
SALOME’S STARS FOR RELEASE WEEK OF MAY 18, 2015
ARIES (March 21 to April 19) You might be a bit shaken by a friend’s request. But before the Lamb leaps to conclusions, insist on a full explanation. You still might say no, but at least you’ll know what you’re saying no to. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Seeing red over those nasty remarks by someone with an ax to grind? Of course you are. So get out there and give your supporters the facts they need to get the truth out. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) A changing situation should get you to reassess your vacation plans and make any adjustments as soon as possible. And don’t fret -- the change most likely will turn out for the better.
crossword • sudoku & weekly horoscope
GALLERY OF GAMES
CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Don’t put off dealing with any negative feelings that might be left over from a recent confrontation. The sooner all is resolved, the sooner you can move forward with fewer complications. LEO (July 23 to August 22) Leos and Leonas might feel the urge to redecorate their dens, and that can turn into a good opportunity to strengthen family ties by putting the whole pride to work to make it happen. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Look for the most efficient way to get a job done quickly and well. Taking more time than you need to make it look more challenging is a short-sighted move you might regret later on. LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Travel remains strong in your aspect. And this time, it could involve someone traveling a great distance to come to see you. Meanwhile, an important matter suddenly could need your attention. SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) A workplace situation becomes a lot more bothersome than you’d expected. Be careful not to be pulled into all that anger. Look for support among others who also want to avoid trouble. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Cheer up, lonely lovers, wherever you are. Just when you thought you’d been deleted from Cupid’s database, the chubby cherub proves that’s just not so. Congratulations. CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) A casual relationship could take a more serious turn. Are you ready for it? Your stars say you are. Paired Sea Goats also will find a renewed richness in their relationships. AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Meeting a collaborator with new ideas seems to be a dream come true. But for both your sakes, be sure all your legal i’s are dotted and t’s are crossed before you start working together.
