When fire broke out in his apartment building, Steve Shore tried to save his neighbor’s beloved pets by kicking in her door, but he burned his bare feet in the process. “The flames were already up to my knees and coming through the floorboards of the balcony,” he said as his neighbor, Kimbrelle Heninger, hugged him. “He’s my hero, and I love him for that,” she said. “He tried to save my girls.” The April 3 fire was the second in four days at two different apartment complexes on a small stretch of Federal Boulevard just north of Bowles Avenue in Littleton. The fires, causes of which are under investigation, are not related, Littleton’s fire chief said. Heninger was at work when, according to Chief Chris Armstrong, the flames erupted in a vacant unit
below hers at the Verona apartment complex. A construction crew was using it to store materials needed to remodel the apartments. “There are things like paint and varnish in there that is making it difficult to extinguish,” said Armstrong after his crews had been on scene about two hours. They got the call about noon, he said, and responded in roughly seven minutes. Firefighters couldn’t reach the inside of Heninger’s unit because the stairs going to it had collapsed, and they told her it was a total loss. She cried as she mourned her four pets — two small dogs, a cat and a white dove named Heaven. The dove was a gift after her older sister died, she said. “They were my kids,” she said as she watched firefighters try to quell the smoke pouring from her roof. “This just killed everything I had, and has broken my life into pieces.”

jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com The Littleton Public Schools Board of Education has unanimously voted to give Claire Davis’ family all the information it can about the circumstances surrounding the death of the Arapahoe High School student. “This will be the next of many steps already taken in the last 15 months to examine and improve processes and procedures,” said Jack Reutzel, board president. “We have already implemented changes in the district as a result of the tragedy, and we continue to want to learn how the district can make meaningful and
thoughtful improvements for the benefit of all students.” While the Davis family was not in attendance at the April 2 board meeting, they offered a quote for the official LPS statement. “We’ve developed a process that meets our shared goal of making schools safer,” said Michael Davis, Claire’s father. “We Claire Davis very much appreciate LPS’ willingness to partner with us.” In a separate statement issued through their spokesperson, Katy Atkinson, the family reiterated support for two bills pending in the state Legislature that could soon be heard on the floor. The first provides a narrow definition of the circumstances in which a suit can be brought against a school for breaching its responsibility to keep students safe, and sets a
cap on the damages that can be recovered. The second would create a permanent committee on school safety and mental health and charge it with examining ways to improve how schools and the mental-health system deal with troubled youths. “Without the full picture, no one can adequately address the underlying problems that could lead to yet another tragedy like this,” reads the family’s statement. As part of the agreement, the Davises agree not to sue the district and waive their right to seek damages — meaning no financial settlement. “This isn’t about the money, it never has been for the Davises,” their attorney, Michael Rooche, said in a press conference outside the LPS administration building after the vote. “The Davises are not interested in assigning blame.”

What it takes to move a bookstore Tattered Cover relocates from Highlands Ranch to Littleton By Christy Steadman csteadman@colorado communitymedia.com
Tattered Cover employees spent all day April 2 and 3 moving the store’s merchandise from the Highlands Ranch location at Town Center to the new location in Littleton at Aspen Grove. The new location opened April 4. People worked in teams of two or three and relied on the “seasoned booksellers” to arrange the books, said book-buyer for the travel section Rodney Shuff. “It was a lot of hard work,” said floor manager Erica Bates, but added everybody was “looking forward to the new beginning.” The bookstore carries too many books to get an exact count of how many were packed, said general manager Margaret Shaheen, but here are the rest of the numbers: 1,652 boxes of books and other merchandise such as calendars, mugs and bookmarks were packed and unpacked. 210 cases of bookshelves were broken down, then set back up. The Tattered Cover moved at least 80 different genres of books. 58 Tattered Cover employees packed up the Highlands Ranch store. 61 Tattered Cover employees unpacked at the Littleton location. Eight volunteers helped with the packing, and six volunteers helped with unpacking. Employees spent three weeks preparing the Highlands Ranch location for the move. Employees and volunteers spent about three hours packing boxes at the Highlands Ranch location. Employees and volunteers spent about 10 hours setting up the store at the Littleton location: unpacking boxes, shelving books and organizing the store. Three semi-truckloads of boxes went to and from the two locations on April 3. The Tattered Cover truck also made a number of trips.

Designs by Sundown wins statewide award Winning landscape once owned by Carmelo Anthony By Jennifer Smith
jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com When a home was once owned by Carmelo Anthony, you expect it to be nice. But thanks to Englewood-based Designs by Sundown, his former home in Polo Reserve is not just nice, it’s “ELITE.” Associated Landscape Contractors of Colorado recently bestowed its “Elevating the Landscape Industry through Excellence” award upon DBS in recognition of the work it’s done on the six-acre estate. “It’s basically a small resort,” said Bill Mansoor, DBS maintenance manager. “There’s so much character on the property.” The company installed and maintains a spa area, four formal water features, a small lake, a 30-foot-tall hedge, numerous outdoor living spaces, dozens of trees and thousands of flowers. The current owner wishes to stay out of the spotlight, but Mansoor said he also likes to raise giant pumpkins, up to 500 pounds or so, which DBS also takes care of. “He wants it party-ready all the time, so that stepped up our game a little bit,” said Monsoor. “What we try to do is make people’s lives a little better. We want to make their outdoor living environment the best

Designs by Sundown’s award-winning landscaping project is in Polo Reserve. Courtesy photo it can be, and we want them to be proud of their landscape.” Monsoor said there are five or six employees on the property every week, some of whom are dedicated just to that one project. He took some of them — Rojelio Mendoza, Cynthia Manning, Nick Sandoval, James Walek — to the awards ceremony. “It made us pretty proud. We got to puff our chests out a little bit that night, then we got back to work on getting better every year. … I’m not a manager, I think of myself as a coach. I’m here to help make people’s lives better. We give people the opportunity to become better, we provide people the opportunity to take on more responsibility if that’s what they choose.” DBS owner Michael Hommel grew up in Littleton, and has been busy working on sprucing up the Littleton location in conjunction with the adjacent Breckenridge
Brewery project on Santa Fe. DBS employs about 120 people, said Mansoor. “That’s great for the area, and great for the state of Colorado,” said Mansoor, who’s in the midst of moving the compa-
ny’s maintenance facility from the Littleton site into a building farther south on Santa Fe in Highlands Ranch. “(Hommel) is a big supporter of the community and giving back.”

Leonardo Dominguez lives across Federal in the Terra Vista apartment complex, where there was a fire earlier in the week, on March 30. He says he was driving by Verona on April 3 and saw the flames, so he pulled the fire alarm and started knocking on doors to alert the tenants. He estimates he let 10 to 15 people know to get out. “The flames were really hot,” he said. “I could feel the intensity of the flames all the way back to my vehicle.” Armstrong said the fires are not connected, but added the four-day span between them is not typical. “It’s not very usual for us to get two fires that close together in that short a time,” Armstrong told reporters at the
Davis Continued from Page 1
A small group of community members, who each said they don’t currently have children in the district, gathered in front of the microphones in support of the Davis family. Lori Horn said both her children knew Karl Pierson, who killed Claire before taking his own life inside Arapahoe High School on Dec. 13, 2013. “I have to say, I was disappointed in the school board … for hiding behind the sheriff’s office investigation,” said Horn, who was the campaign manager for the four reform candidates who won in the 2013 Douglas County School Board elections. Asked about the timing of the action, 15 months after Claire’s death, Rooche said they wanted to wait until after the sheriff’s final report, which was released six months ago and found no criminal wrongdoing on the part of the school district.
scene of the Verona fire. He said four Verona units sustained fire damage, and 12 more had smoke damage. In the earlier fire, the Red Cross helped three displaced people after seven units were damaged. Most of the evacuated residents were able to return home. Many Terra Vista residents were on the scene of the Verona fire, unable to believe their eyes. “It’s pretty crazy, that’s why I had to come over and watch,” said Tim Cobb, who brought along his little dog, Mellow. “My window is 10 feet away from the building that burned in our complex, but nothing happened to us.” Aaron Bartholomew, Shore’s roommate, said they’d lived in the building for nearly three years and hoped to be able to stay in the neighborhood. “This has never happened to me before, but it’s just possessions,” he said.
“These things just take time,” he said. Representatives from LPS and the family will meet with an arbiter beginning after June 1 and continuing over the summer. They hope to wrap things up before students return to school next fall, or at least by Oct. 1. The district will pay all expenses up to $25,000, after which the parties will split all costs. The district agreed not to invoke governmental immunity, and has waived some federal protections of Karl Pierson’s records. While the agreement recommends the two parties jointly issue a public report, it allows either party to do so on its own 45 days after the end of the process. All information released during the discovery process will be available to the public. “The agreement … creates a process that meets our goal of being investigative, not accusatory, in discovering how the tragedy on December 13, 2013 happened,” reads the Davis family’s statement.

Littleton Planning Board: March 23
Action
Vote
The board gave final approval to allowing Think Tank South tattoo parlor to set up shop above Penzey’s Spices on Main Street, on the conditions that its hours be set at noon to 8 p.m., and that the shop maintain an agreement to lease four parking spaces from Reinke Bros. for employees and customers. The space will double as an art gallery. The ordinance that allows tattoo parlors as a conditional use downtown requires them to be no closer to each other than 1,000 feet, so it’s likely Think Tank will be the only one allowed in the foreseeable future.
The board voted to allow Century Communities to build 70 townhomes on the last purely residential lot on the eastern half of Littleton Village, northeast of Dry Creek Road and Broadway. That brings the grand total to 42 patio homes, 101 single-family homes and 138 townhomes.
What they said “The free-marketer in me is a little nervous about allowing basically a monopoly in downtown Littleton, not that I want a tattoo parlor every 75 or 100 feet. But 1,000, I think, I a little steep for something that is becoming more and more mainstream.” — Board member Mark Rudnicki

Driver gets maximum sentence in officer’s death Supporters of both sides pack courtroom By Jennifer Smith
jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com As Judge Donald Marshall looked out onto his courtroom, he faced two very different sides looking back at him. On his left was a sea of brothers in blue, some wearing Tshirts that read “In Memory of Our Gentle Giant” in support of fallen Littleton Police Officer Kevin Denner. On his right March 31 was a sea of supporters, some with their heads covered in colorful scarves, for the Ethiopian activist found guilty in Denner’s death. “There has been a lot of discussion today about Mr. Denner, who was a police officer, apparently an excellent police officer and a great guy all around,” said Marshall. “But the court will treat this matter the same as if the victim had been an unemployed transient walking across the street.” With that, he sentenced Jemal Dawed to the maximum penalty of 12 years in prison, followed by five years of mandatory parole. Dawed was convicted of vehicular homicide in January. Dawed appeared calm as sheriff’s deputies handcuffed him, but his female relatives in the audience sobbed loudly as he was led away. Dawed Dawed’s attorney, Wazir-Ali Muhammad Al-Haqq, had tried to make the case that Dawed was as important to his local Ethiopian community as Denner had been to his, so therefore should be allowed to remain free on probation. “Although we all look different, we all are the same,” said Al-Haqq. “We all understand what each other is going through. … Denner was obviously a great man. All of us are damaged by his loss, our society is weaker because of his loss. But Dawed is an important man in his community. There are boys who come here from Ethiopia that want to sag their pants and get tattoos and become gang members. This is the man that stands there to deter them.” The evidence showed that Dawed was drunk, lost and talking on his cell phone on May 5, 2013, while driving east

on East Belleview Avenue in Aurora at 11:30 in the morning. Denner was riding his Harley-Davidson westbound, on his way to testify in a court case, when Dawed made a left turn in front of him. Denner laid the bike down in an attempt to avoid the Aurora man’s Toyota Solara, and died just two blocks from his home. “The defendant never braked, ran over the victim with studded snow tires and dragged him 21 feet away from the area of impact,” according a news release from the prosecution. “The defendant’s car was found half of a block north of the intersection.” Denner’s widow, Kristin, told the judge she has to pass by that intersection every day. “I have lost my life partner,” she said. “I feel like we are still here, but half of our life is missing.” Prosecutor Brittany Martin read letters written by the couple’s two children, just 8 and 9 when they lost their dad. “To the person that killed my dad, I Denner want him in jail for all of his life, because you can’t replace a member of your family,” wrote their daughter. “He would carry me up the stairs, and he would make me feel safe in my house.” Dawed spoke at length for the first time since the trial began, trying to portray a man who had changed since the guilty verdict was rendered. He’s begun psychotherapy and participated in alcohol awareness since then, and apologized to the Denner family for the first time. “I come before you a guilty man, responsible for the death of Kevin Denner,” he said through an Amharic translator. “I felt I was being punished by God, but now I know I put myself in this situation. … I never began that day with the intention of harming anybody. I’m sorry and will carry my guilt and shame for killing another human being for the remainder of my life.” For the dozens of friends and family on Denner’s side of the courtroom, it wasn’t enough. “I had the heartbreaking duty to inform Kristin her husband was not coming home,” said Division Chief Gene Enley. “He understood that his job was to protect the victim, put fear into the criminal’s hearts and protect the com-

munity. His personality brought out the best in the people around him. The self-centered person that killed Officer Denner chose to drink … Since Mr. Dawed has shown no remorse, you should show him no mercy.”

Online school bows out after leading way Jones International University, based in Centennial, has been hit with declining enrollment
ABOUT GLENN R. JONES Some noteworthy items about the founder of Jones International University and the CEO of Jones International Ltd.:
By Chris Rotar
crotar@coloradocommunitymedia.com Gwen Lane had just put the exclamation mark on her master’s degree when she got the news early last week. “I finished my last class (March 28), and I was like ‘oh my gosh, don’t tell me the last two years were for nothing,’” she said in a phone interview from her home in Chesapeake, Virginia. Lane learned her school would soon be closing. Centennial-based Jones International University is winding down operations, a decision communicated to its roughly 2,000 students March 31. The process is expected to be finished in early 2016. The online, for-profit school that offers degrees in business and education has seen an enrollment decline of more than 55 percent since 2011, a spokeswoman said. The move could mean 90 or more lost jobs at the Jones International Ltd. headquarters near Interstate 25 and Dry Creek Road. “During the past year, JIU’s Board of Trustees and leadership have closely examined our business and operations and have explored every opportunity to continue to effectively support our students by delivering the highest-quality online education,” Bryan Wallace, the school’s chief operating officer, said in an emailed statement. “However, due to market pressures and operational considerations, we have come to the difficult decision that it is time to close Jones International University.” JIU was founded in 1993 — staking claim to being the first university to exist fully online — by cable magnate Glenn R. Jones. It launched its first courses in 1995 and continued to add programs through the years. It received regional accreditation in 1999. Students are increasingly embracing online learning, and the number of institutions offering it, including public schools, has been climbing since the early 2000s. A study released in 2013 by the Babson Sur-
• Graduated from the University of Colorado law school in 1961. • Founded Jones Intercable Inc. in 1969. The tiny cable TV company grew to more than 1.5 million customers before it was sold to Comcast in 1999. • Launched a cable network in 1987 that enabled college students to take courses via TV.
Glenn R. Jones, founder of Jones International University, talks about plans for a 42-acre, mixed-use development in Centennial during an October press conference. On March 31, officials announced the school would be closing by early 2016. File photo vey Research Group found the number of college and university students taking at least one online course grew from 1.6 million in 2002 to 6.7 million in 2011. So while JIU was a pioneer in online education, it has been confronted in recent years with stiff competition.
Continuing education
Lane quickly called the school and was assured she would still receive her master’s degree in business administration. Still, news of the closure was unsettling to Lane, who said she carries a 4.0 GPA and took out tens of thousands of dollars in student loans. “Until I get my degree in hand, I have a big worry.” JIU officials say they remain dedicated to their students’ education. Those who can complete their programs in a year or less will be given the chance to continue their studies and graduate from JIU.

But many students will likely transition to another online school, Trident University International, based in Cypress, California. The two universities have “a formal transfer agreement,” Wallace said. JIU also is attempting to work out agreements with other institutions. “Our commitment to our students and their education has always been, and will continue to be, our top priority,” Wallace said, “and we will not close until we have helped all JIU students to either transfer or graduate.”
New terrain
The decision to close the online school will not affect a massive, mixed-use project bearing the Jones name in the works in Centennial, Wallace said. The 42-acre Jones District broke ground on its initial stage in October and is expected to boast 1.8 million square feet of residential, commercial and retail space when it is completed over a period of 20 years or

Moving on
On its website, www.jiu.edu, the school outlines the process for students wishing to transfer. It also touts Trident as being a larger, more cost-efficient alternative. “Trident University currently serves more than 8,000 students with more degree programs than JIU,” the site states. “An education at Trident University costs significantly less than one at JIU. For example, JIU’s MBA program costs $805 per credit hour compared to Trident University’s $475 per credit hour. Undergrad tuition will drop from $530 per credit hour to $350 per credit hour.” After learning of Trident’s lower tuition, Lane said she wonders if she spent more money on her education than she needed to. She also wonders, down the road, what potential employers will think of a degree from a school that no longer exists. But Lane said her experience at JIU was a good one, with teachers who were “very nice, very available.” “I enjoyed it, it was a challenge,” she said. “I’m just surprised that they’re closing.”

more. The price tag of the largest development in the city’s history could run in the hundreds of millions of dollars. The site of the project is just down the road from Jones International Ltd. headquarters, home to the online university and other Jones companies. As of late March, Jones employed more than 150 people at the location, and that number will be pared to about 60 by the time the school closes, a spokeswoman said. Centennial officials remain optimistic about Jones’ continued presence in the city. “As a pioneer in education and development, Mr. Jones will always be a part of Centennial and the southeast area,” Centennial Mayor Cathy Noon said. “The one thing that is constant is change, no matter how much you do or don’t want it to happen. “That being said, we are very pleased The Jones District is moving forward and the city is committed to the partnership we have in place for this mixed-use development.”

Those guys in orbit sure do get around
e
There is something familiar about this. tThe other day, an American and two Russians floated into space together. a I used to float into space with two Russians myself. One was named Smirnoff, and the other one was named Stolichnaya. I affectionately called him “Stoli.” But we were only gone for two or three fdays. American Scott Kelly and Russian Mikhail Kornienko are going to be in space for 342 days. Another Russian, Gennady Padalka, will spend six months on the mission. In all the years that I have been writing this column, not once have I mentioned douter space, unless you include Steve Martin, ewho is one letter away from being Steve Martian. This amazing project begs for my attention. The first thing that crossed my mind was: lWhat are they going to do about haircuts? g The only men who are out of touch for that long are usually in the state pen. I can’t imagine what it would be like to be scircling the earth in a great big Pontiac for eclose to a year. How is it that we are so co-operative with sRussians in outer space, but we can’t seem -to be just as co-operative down here on the rground? What do our mutual space agencies know that our mutual politicians do not?
I would look at that very closely. Who is the head of NASA? Get him to run for president. [Editor’s note: Charles Frank Bolden Jr.] I live in near isolation. It’s almost home detention. And I like it, but I can back out of my driveway whenever I want to. Not only that: I like to look at women. Just look, mind you. Being up there in a Pontiac without live women somewhere handy would be unacceptable, and perhaps unbearable. Wouldn’t you get a little “restless”? Maybe they take something for that. Certainly there are things I could do without for 342 days. I think I could go that long without being in a Highlands Ranch grocery store on Saturday. Any thought of this wouldn’t even be entertained in my dog’s lifetime. Unless Smitty went along with me. Actually I would like to see a dachshund experiencing zero gravity. Maybe you already know this: Kelly has
an identical twin named Mark. Mark is going to take part in some of the same experiences that Scott is experiencing, so that they can see how a body in space compares with an identical body on earth. I guess that means that they will both have unqualified Russians cutting their hair. I have never come close to wanting to go up in orbit, although my third wife wanted to send me into one now and then. [Editor’s note: The writer has never been married.] “To the moon, Alice,” Ralph Kramden used to yell at his wife. I never thought the show was funny. I watched “The Honeymooners” when I was in grade school. So I was just a kid. But something told me it wasn’t all that funny to see a man barking at a woman. I haven’t had an interest in our space program in years. At one time I could name the missions and many of the astronauts. This particular mission was simply a way for me to wisecrack about Russian vodkas. I know it’s not the same, but if I want to travel around the world or into outer space, I just have to turn on the television and I get to be Captain Video. If it were up to me, I’d have Mark eat too many hot dogs down here, to see if Scott got an upset stomach up there. Craig Marshall Smith is an artist, educator and Highlands Ranch resident.

Attitude of abundance pays off in every way
employees all the time. The owner’s view of the world is driven purely by greed. Now if you have ever watched the movie “Finding Nemo,” there is a scene in the movie where Nemo’s dad, a clown fish, and Dory, a blue tang, end up on a dock surrounded by dozens of seagulls. The seagulls start calling out, “Mine, mine, mine … Mine, mine, mine” in a typical seagull-like cry. And when I met the owner of the company I described above, that is all I heard as I spoke with him. I could literally hear him saying, “Mine, mine, mine … Mine, mine, mine.” In contrast, the other company couldn’t be more different. The owner treated the employees like family; there was hardly ever any turnover, as the staff has stayed on for many years. The team built solid relationships with customers and each other and even with the local business community. The owner had a mentality of “A rising tide lifts all boats” and wanted to see everyone succeed, even the competition. The ownership, leadership and
We need to hold Congress accountable for shutdown In October 2013, Congress shut down the federal government for 16 days, putting the U.S. economy at risk and leaving 800,000 people out of work nationwide — 40,000 in Colorado. Estes Park sales tax revenue alone dropped 18.2 percent, two of our national parks lost more than $2 million in revenue each, and Colorado Springs had one of the top percentages of workforce affected by the shutdown. In addition to jeopardizing the nation’s safety, security and credibility, Standard and Poor’s estimated that the shutdown took $24 billion out of our economy. For countless Coloradans suffering the aftermath of unprecedented flooding, this shutdown was a kick in the teeth. While paralysis in Washington, D.C., extended the shutdown for more than two weeks, workers across the state continued to do their jobs, day in and day out. From police officers to teachers, business owners to assembly-line workers, they showed up to carry out their duties and fulfill their respon-

t No doubt there is some heavy-duty competition taking place these days. Many businesses are fighting for a little bigger piece sof the pie each and every day. And this holds true for the single entrepreneur, the small and medium-size business, and the large enterprise organizations. We see the competition play out in marketing campaigns, advertising, social media, and through intentional word-of-mouth battles as we all talk up our favorite products and businesses and talk down their competitors. I mean we will share posts and “like” pages on Facebook for the companies we love and support and then we will jump on the bandwagon of negativity when it comes to those products and businesses we do not like or where we had a bad experience. Who is ultimately responsible for our opinion, favoritism, or dislike of a product or business? I mean, our thoughts can only be influenced by the opinions of others to a certain extent; sooner or later we get to the point where we make up our own minds based on our experiences with that person or business. Let me share with you the story of two businesses, competitors in the same industry. The owner of the first business runs his company with an attitude of winner takes all, win at all costs, take no prisoners, and a total lack of trust and respect for the employees at the company. The turnover is very high, employees come and go, and the customers become very frustrated with having to deal with new

sibilities. Coloradans didn’t shut down. Why should Congress? Congress can learn a little something from the people in our state. That’s why Sen. Cory Gardner and I introduced a resolution last month to put pressure on Congress to avoid, or at least quickly end, these needless, damaging crises. Our plan establishes new procedures to keep senators at work until they end the shutdown. Bennet continues on Page 8
management delivered a common message to the staff and the community, “We are here to help,” and they consistently communicated the goals and objectives of the business. They didn’t operate from a position of fear or greed, a minimalist mentality. Instead they operated from an attitude of growth and abundance. The first business owner always finds himself justifying, explaining and defending away the problems in his business. The second owner spends his time celebrating wins and enjoying the benefits of the support of the entire business community. So which CEO/owner would be more likely to get invited to community events or speak at local or national conferences? As a consumer, which company would you prefer to do business with? Which company would you more than likely “Like” on Facebook? Pretty obvious, isn’t it? So how about you? Whether you are a sole proprietor, owner of a small or medium-size business, or the CEO or executive of a large corporation, are you operating from a “Mine, mine, mine” mentality or a “Rising tide lifts all boats” mentality? Either way, I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@gmail.com, and when we learn to live and work from an attitude of growth and abundance, it really will be a better than good week.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Coffman off base on Iran Mr. Coffman’s guest column, “Why I Believe Iran Can’t be Trusted,” ignores several realities. One, the issue in the negotiations is not simply blind trust as he implies but verification as well. Two, it is also true that the U.S. is in a process of negotiation that includes several other countries. It is not just the U. S. and Iran or solely the president and Iran. His charge that “President Obama sees Iran as he wants it to be, and those of us who served in the region see Iran for what it is,” ignores the simple reality that negotiation can lead to peaceful outcomes and if we refuse to negotiate, our only options are a form a warfare. And in his case, the only strategy is a form of obliteration. Readers of this paper might be interested in another view in the current issue (March 30, 2015) of Barron’s. Please see the article by Craig Mellow on Emerging Markets (Iran: The Next Frontier?) and note these quotes from Charles Robertson, chief economist of Renaissance Capital, a London-based investment bank who says: “A trip to Tehran is eye-opening.

achieved, a roll call vote will occur every hour up until midnight to ensure that the senators are in the chamber and working toward a solution to reopen the government. The new procedures would also include consequences for senators who choose not to show up. If the absent senators don’t respond to the request for their attendance, a motion to require their attendance would be put to a vote. The Sergeant at Arms would report the names and locations of the senators who have failed to report to the Senate floor. If the Senate still cannot achieve a quorum at that point, the Sergeant at Arms would be issued warrants to arrest the missing senators and bring them to the Senate. Ideally, a bill like this wouldn’t be necessary. But Washington’s habit of turning routine responsibilities into government shutdowns has to end. At best, these changes will motivate Congress to avoid a crisis and do

people who are friendly, cultured and convinced that the U. S. is their natural ally.” All of us are entitled to an opinion but none is entitled to “our facts,” as senator Moynihan used to note. All facts are subject to verification and it may be in our interest to search for peaceful solutions rather than simply fomenting conflict and war. If we do unto others as we would have them do unto us, we may increase the chances for peace rather than the loss of life and the destruction of property. I think citizens deserve better than Mr. Coffman’s assertions. Henry M. Barlow Highlands Ranch

It would set in motion a constant series of live quorum calls and roll call votes until a bill to reopen the government has been signed into law. This would mean that senators would have to remain on or near the Senate floor — forcing them to open the lines of communication and work with one another — until the government is reopened. This is how it would work. Following a full or partial government shutdown, the Senate would convene at 8 a.m. the following day. If a majority of senators are not present, a roll call vote to request the attendance of the absent senators would take place. Once a majority of senators — or a quorum — is
the work they were elected to do. At worst, they would at least force lawmakers to stay on the floor and work together until they find a solution to reopen the government. This type of political theater hurts our economy and competiveness, puts our safety and international reputation at risk, and most importantly continues to erode the American people’s faith in their government. No county commissioner or city councilor in the state of Colorado would put their credit at risk or jeopardize their community because of a disagreement or to prove a point. People wouldn’t stand for it. Coloradans don’t shut down, and Congress shouldn’t either. Democrat Michael Bennet has represented Colorado in the U.S. Senate since 2009.

it.”
By Jennifer Smith
jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com In the midst of the racial unrest in Ferguson, Missouri, in January, there was an explosion at a building that houses an NAACP chapter in Colorado Springs. Early reports were that it might have been domestic terrorism aimed at the civilrights organization, and the FBI was investigating it as such. Social media erupted with speculation, accusations and name-calling. But the suspect who was arrested turned out to be a man who allegedly had a grudge against the tax-preparer who also has an office in the building. “Social media tends to amplify, or sometimes diminish, what a story may or may not be,” said Joanna Bean, editor of The Gazette, the Colorado Springs-based newspaper that was first to cover the event. “It was tempting to go where the story was not yet.” Bean joined Donna Bryson, former Associated Press foreign correspondent, and Francisco Miraval, Rocky Mountain region correspondent for the Spanish EFE News Agency, to present a panel on covering race
From left, journalists Francisco Miraval, Joanna Bean and Donna Bryson spoke on “Covering Race Relations in the Media” at a panel moderated by Ed Otte on April 2 at Arapahoe Community College. Photo by Jennifer Smith relations at Arapahoe Community College on April 2. As it turns out, they agree, discussing how the media report on racial issues boils
down to how they report on anything else. “Stick to the middle and do balanced reporting,” Bean told the students in the audience. “You have to be disciplined about
Bryson, author of a book about how racial upheaval led to positive change in South Africa, added that balanced journalism is a critical aspect of democracy. “It’s difficult to resist the urge to become part of the maelstrom of opinion,” said Bryson. “Rumors spread, and that’s when the violence spreads.” Miraval, who began his career in Argentina as the editor of an international religious newspaper, noted that stories about race are often really stories about power. “Often, who’s in control is the real story,” he said. They agree, too, that some of the responsibility lies with the reader to understand the difference between fact and opinion, to seek out sources outside of their comfort zone and to not just settle for the sound bites. “People think, `I’m entitled to know it, but I’m not willing to spend the time to understand these complicated issues,’ ” said Bean. “What’s interesting is that people think journalism is a right that people have, and that it should be free. … They still want what we do, but they don’t want to pay for it. I’m not sure who they think pays for it. It’s expensive to do journalism well.”

RTD fare changes draw opposition By Tom Munds
tmunds@colorado communitymedia.com Judging from an April 2 public hearing, residents are turning thumbs down on the current RTD fare change proposals. The meeting in the Englewood Public Library was one of 16 public hearings the Regional Transportation District held to gather comments about the proposed fare changes. RTD says the meetings are intended to help the agency reach the goal of developing a “fair, equitable and cost-effective fare structure.” Doug MacLeod represented RTD and narrated a 20-minute PowerPoint presentation highlighting the fare study proposals to open the meeting. The presentation showed examples of the proposal. For example, increases in one-way fares would go from $2.25 to $2.60 for local rides, from $4 to $4.50 for express rides and from $5 to $5.50 for regional rides. The increases would also apply to passes. For example, the cost of a monthly pass would increase from $79 to $104. The proposed timeline is to present the proposals to the RTD Board of Directors for a vote either later this month or at a meeting in May. If the board approves the proposals, all fare changes will be effective early next year. A dozen people spoke at the hearing in Englewood. All 12 expressed concerns and opposed the fare proposals that would increase the cost of using public transportation. Tom Grushka was one of the residents speaking in opposition to the new fares. “The fare increases don’t make sense,” the Highlands Ranch resident said and he had his wife hold up a chart. “This chart shows RTD has increased fares 29 percent in the last few years. That is three or four time the rate of inflation.” His wife, Mary, objected to the proposal to double fares for Access-A-Ride. She said the higher fares will burden those who use the service and that public transportation should be affordable for customers of paratransit — transportation services for people with disabilities.
Chris Harmon said the service RTD provides concerns him. He said he lives nine miles from work and Google Maps say the trip will take 15 minutes by car, one hour by bike and an hour and 15 minutes by bus. He said making the system attractive so more people use it is the way to keep fares low. Zoe Williams said Englewood residents depend on public transportation and the proposed fare increases may make RTD rides unaffordable. “A public transit system should provide services for all the people,” the Englewood resident said. “Fares are a burden for low-income indi— viduals and famiDistrict’s service lies.

Data shows there are far too many deaths and injuries from motor vehicle crashes that involve distracted driving, said Colorado Department of Transportation spokesman Sam Cole. In Colorado, about one life is lost every week from a distracted driving crash, he said. “The ultimate goal,” he added, “is zero deaths.” National Distracted Driving Awareness Month in April “presents a unique opportunity for people to commit to driving distraction-free,” Cole said. As part of bringing awareness to the dangers of distracted driving this month, CDOT and the Colorado State Patrol have partnered to help ensure traffic safety through additional education and enforcement campaigns. “Driving is serious business,” said Colorado State Patrol chief Col. Scott Hernandez in a media release, “and should be the main focus of every driver when they are behind the wheel.” The Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office is participating in the campaign from April 6-14, when the — department will use “a combinaNumber of drivers tion of strategies to crack down on in the U.S. using a motorists who engage in distractcell phone or other ed driving,” states a press release. electronic device However, crashes attributed to diswhile driving at tracted driving don’t only happen any given daylight in April, said bureau chief Glenn moment.

Douglas County Sheriff’s Office’s traffic unit recently implemented its Strategic and Tactical Analysis of Crime and Crashes (STACC) program, Hanavan said. STACC deputies concentrate on areas that are “notorious for a high incidence of crashes and dangerous drivers,” he said, which allows road patrol officers to apply their time to more immediate patrol duties. Providing the public with resources on traffic safety, education and awareness is something Douglas County Sheriff Tony Spurlock is committed to, he said. “It’s everyone’s responsibility to drive in a safe and prudent manner,” he said. “By doing so, you could be saving the life of your neighbor, family member or even your own.”

1958 comes to LIFE
`Marvelous Wonderettes’ show is easy on audience By Sonya Ellingboe
sellingboe@colorado communitymedia.com Four 1950s-era teenage girls in pretty pastel print dresses and crinoline petticoats stand in front of a raised bandstand in the theater at Littleton’s Town Hall Arts Center. “The Marvelous Wonderettes,” says a banner above the four musicians’ heads. The Town Hall audience is off on a time trip to 1958, when students entertained at the prom, which was held in the high school gym. “Decorations were made by hand by student committees and teachers kept an eye on the punchbowl to make sure it wasn’t spiked, and smoking outside the gym could get you suspended,” recalls director Bob Wells. This quartet, expertly coached by music director Traci Kern, is on stage all night, smoothly blending voices on one song after another, starting with “Mr. Sandman” and “Lollipop.” As they sing, small storylines
IF YOU GO “The Marvelous Wonderettes” plays through April 26 at Town Hall Arts Center, 2450 W. Main St. in downtown Littleton. Performances: 7:30 p.m. Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays; 2 p.m. Sundays; and 6:30 p.m. on April 19. Tickets: $23$42, 303-794-2787, ext. 5, townhallartscenter. org. (To make tickets available to all, Town Hall offers 10 value seats at $10 one hour before curtain time-first come, first served.) develop about boyfriends and competitiveness, hopes and dreams. The show flows smoothly and pleasantly, asking no effort at all from its audience. Wells explains that “The Marvelous Wonderettes” was originally created by Roger Bean as a one-act for the small Milwaukee Repertory Theater in 1999. It evolved into a second act with a 10-year reunion circa 1968, played for a couple of years in Los Angeles, and it next moved to Off-Broadway New York City in 2008 to early 2010. It has
since become popular with theaters across the nation. “Its songs define a specific time in America,” Wells writes. Meet Cindy Lou (Cashelle Butler), Missy (Colby Dunn), Betty Jean (Taylor Nicole Young) and Suzy (Cara Lippitt). Springfield High’s song leaders have come to the rescue when the original prom music program was canceled due to misbehavior by its star. They sing steadily throughout the evening, with clever choreography by Wells and Kelly Kates. Microphones and a couple of tables with small props are the extent of staging. The voices have it all. The audience gets to vote for prom queen and then catch up with the quartet 10 years later at a reunion, where some rivalry still exists and some difficult relationships continue. Styles have changed and gum-chewing Suzy is pregnant. Songs include a reprise of “Mr. Sandman,” then switch a decade later. Included: “Son of a Preacher Man,” “Leader of the Pack,” “RESPECT” and more. They tie up some loose ends and close with “Thank You and Goodnight/Sincerely.” Pleasant way to spend an evening.

“Frozen.” The show is produced through a partnership between Colorado Skating Club and Denver Figure Skating Club and is held at South Suburban Ice Arena. The annual Showtime on Ice production was created by the late Peggy DeLio to expose figure skaters and their families to Broadway musicals and classics, according to publicist Madeline Daley. She writes that
the first show was fashioned after the Ice Follies and each year since has had a different theme. Skaters range in age from preschool through adult, and come from Denver, Aurora and south suburban communities, including 42 from Douglas County Public Schools, 23 from Littleton Public Schools, 44 from Cherry Creek Schools and 12 from south-area Catholic and private schools. Internationally known figure skaters have appeared in past shows, including Scott Hamilton, Dorothy Hamill, Paul Wylie, Robin Cousins, Kristi Yamaguchi, Rudy Galinado, John Curry and more recently Ryan Bradley, Adam Rippon, Joshua Farris, Gracie Gold, Courtney Hicks and reigning U.S. pairs champions Alex Scimeca and Chris Knierim. On opening night there will be a VIP event and tribute to the Pat Bowlen family, longtime supporters, in collaboration with the Alzheimer’s Association, which will receive the proceeds.

American Indian eatery opens
The metro area now has two locations of the American Indian-owned and -operated Tocabe restaurants. The newest location opened on March 7 in Greenwood Village. Traditionally, Americans have little understanding of food in the American Indian culture. This fact was a main motivation in creating Tocabe. Owner Ben Jacobs and his team wanted to help bring a voice to what Native food can be in today’s world. Tocabe’s Berkeley neighborhood location was featured on the Food Network’s “Diners, DriveIns and Dives” in 2011. Tocabe’s Berkeley location is at 3536 W. 44th Ave., 720-524-8282. The Greenwood Village restaurant is at 8181 E. Arapahoe Road, Suite C, 720-485-6738.

Youngsters get boost from book program Choice is secret each year; libraries play major part By Sonya Ellingboe
sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia.com In 2014, 75,000 copies of Jeremy Tankard’s “Grumpy Bird” were given to Colorado 4-yearolds by public libraries across the state through the One Book 4 Colorado program. Started by Lt. Gov. Joe Garcia in 2012 and privately funded, the program is “based on research that shows that 4-year-olds that have access to books and adults that read to them often will be much more likely to read when they start kindergarten,” according to the program’s website. From April 13-27, children who are 4 — or will be 4 in 2015 — are eligible to receive this year’s choice in the One Book 4 Colorado program. The title is a big secret until April 13, although the Englewood children’s librarian says “I know what it is” and is planning story times and related toys

for kids to play with during the first week. Certainly, other libraries have similar plans. Littleton’s Bemis Library will have books for distribution on April 13, as will the Arapahoe Library District, which expects to distribute 4,000 books this year. “The vocabulary level of preschoolers is predictive of their third-grade reading proficiency” said ALD’s release. It also says the book will be available in either English or Spanish. “Low-income children have few to no books in their homes and are exposed to 30 million fewer words before the age of 4 than their higher-income peers,” ALD adds. Douglas County libraries are also participating in One Book 4 Colorado, and pointed out the support from the Colorado State Library.

Preservation awards honor notable work Ceremony will be held at historic Littleton church By Sonya Ellingboe
sellingboe@colorado communitymedia.com Historic Littleton Inc. and the City of Littleton’s Historic Preservation Board will jointly present five awards to people or organizations in the Littleton community that have made outstanding contributions to the preservation of the city’s historic places. The event — open to the public — will be at 7 p.m. on April 15 at Littleton United Methodist Church, 5894 S. Datura St. The program will also include a talk by Bob Stansbury about the 125-year history of the church’s congregation at various Littleton locations and a brief tour of the church building. The awards celebrate stewardship, outstanding achievement and preservation advocacy. The Stewardship awards, for longterm care of a historic property, will go to: • Littleton Capital Partners (Steve Kurtz and Jonathan Bush) for care and preservation of the 1950s Art Moderne style building at 5611 S. Nevada St., where their office is located. It was historically the office of Dr. Richard Wells. With its curved corners, glass blocks and ribbons of glass panels, the two-story brick building is representative of its style. It is in the Downtown Littleton Historic District. • Weston Masonic Lodge, 5718 S. Rapp St., for care and preservation of the two-story brick fraternal lodge, built in 1921. It has been continuously occupied by the Weston Masonic Lodge since it was built and is included in the Downtown Littleton Historic District. The lodge was organized in 1872 and first met above J.D. Hill’s General Store on Rapp Street. Member I.W. Hunt donated the site for the
building in 1920 and it was completed in 1921 at a cost of $25,000. • Littleton United Methodist Church, 5894 S. Datura St., for care and maintenance of the church, which was built in segments between 1958 and 1965. The consecration of the sanctuary was on Palm Sunday, 1965. The congregation, with roots going back to an 1890 site above O’Brien’s store at Main Street and Harrison (now Sycamore) Street, assembled in the church’s fellowship hall on that day in 1965 and was led into the sanctuary by five choirs. The Outstanding Achievement award will go to: • Ned Kelly’s Irish Pub, 5666/5686 S. Sycamore St. The one-and-a-half-story building at 5666, the home of grocer Cornelius Franzen, was constructed in 1887. Franzen was owner of the First and Last Chance Saloon at the corner of Main and Harrison (now Sycamore) streets, and he built the one-story brick building at 5686 as Franzen Grocery. For many years, it was known as Oasis Lounge. The facades of both buildings and the surrounding landscape were repaired and improved recently. Owners are Andrew Toole and Donni Danish. The Preservation Advocacy award, for a community member whose contributions have ensured the continued existence of Littleton’s historic resources, will go to: • Bill Hopping, who served on the Historic Preservation Board from 2003 to 2013, helping to build relationships with building owners and business people as the board worked on formation of the Downtown Littleton Historic District and related design guidelines. As board chairman, Hopping conducted meetings that heard applications for Certificate of Appropriateness, allowing repair and construction on building facades. He participated in events where community stakeholders were able to discuss ideas, concerns and wishes, resulting in community consensus.
About Bill Hopping Bill Hopping, the recipient of this year’s Preservation Advocacy award from Historic Littleton Inc. and the City of Littleton’s Historic Preservation Board, is a Littleton High School graduate. His family moved to Littleton because his father was a Martin Marietta employee, transferred from Baltimore. Hopping studied hotel administration at Cornell University and managed a full-service country club in a Toledo, Ohio, suburb. He began consulting with restaurants and knew he wanted to live in Colorado. He received an MBA from the University of Denver; worked with an accounting firm, consulting with hotels; then went on his own, focusing on the Rocky Mountain West. “I looked at a hotel through the eye of a visitor,” he said, and he had exposure to towns with historic pieces and looked to see how the hotels fit the environment. “What draws people? Cultural tourism is the fastest growing segment of U.S. tourism,” said Hopping, who served 10 years on Littleton’s Historic Preservation Board, until 2013. “It’s a shame we don’t have an allinclusive historic district in Littleton — that’s when investors really become interested … Out-of-town owners have the misconception that historic preservation limits you — only if you modify. When the (Littleton) district formed, there was a lot of misinformation … It’s in the merchants’ best interest to attract the cultural tourist … Main Street is one of the best-preserved in the entire nation … 20 minutes by light rail for a big convention center.” Hopping continues to stay in touch with preservation board members and downtown business owners.
Three-day arts fest to be held at church Littleton event includes music, play performances By Sonya Ellingboe
sellingboe@colorado communitymedia.com The Littleton United Methodist Church Arts Festival is scheduled for a Friday-Sunday run from April 17-19 at the church, 5894 S. Datura St. in Littleton. As the annual arts festival is held for the 22nd time, a community art show will be exhibited in Grant Fellowship Hall, where there will also be three free performances of the play “Love Letters” by A.R. Gurney, featuring former LUMC minister Richard Hendry and his wife, Lisa. A string concert is planned, and finally, there will be a presentation of a new choral piece by Oklahoma composer Michael Bedford to honor LUMC’s 125th anniversary. “O God We Sing and Celebrate” will be sung by four LUMC choirs at Sunday services. Admission is free to all events.
The schedule for the three days is: • April 17: 6 p.m., art show opening; 7 p.m., “Love Letters.” • April 18: 10:30 a.m., art show doors open; 11 a.m., Alex Raab studio recital featuring young string players; 2 p.m., “Love Letters.” • April 19: 8 a.m., art show doors open; 8:30 and 11 a.m., services with 125th anniversary premiere of “O God We Sing and Celebrate,” sung by four LUMC choirs; 2 p.m., “Love Letters.” Gurney — the writer of the play the Hendrys will perform — is known for his chronicling of the upper middle class. The play follows a half-century of correspondence between a man and a woman. It begins when they are in second grade and lasts through their 50s, according to director Annawyn Shamas. “Melissa and Andy’s letter writing weathers schooling, youthful traumas, their marriages and divorces, and is filled with many moments of humor as the two mature and their friendship deepens,” according to Shamas.

Hank Wyeno will give a multi-media presentation and first-hand account of the Japanese American experience during World War II. Program is at 7 p.m. Thursday, April 16, at Bemis Public Library, 6014 S. Datura St., Littleton. Speaker Wyeno’s father was a farmer in Colorado when Pearl Harbor was attacked by the Japanese military forces. Wyeno’s family and other Americans of Japanese ancestry faced many challenges and much discrimination during World War II. Many of them made sacrifices to prove their loyalty to the United States. Following the attack on Pearl Harbor, 120,000 people of Japanese ancestry living along the West Coast of the United States and Arizona were sent to 10 internment camps in the western part of the country, including Colorado. Two-thirds of these residents were American citizens. Ironically, the most decorated military unit of the Second World War was the all-Nisei (second generation Americans of Japanese ancestry) 442 Regimental Combat Team. Some of these soldiers volunteered out of the internment camps to demonstrate that they were true Americans. Hank Wyeno is retired from the Littleton Public Schools where he was a teacher and principal. He is also a leader in the Optimist service organization. A native of the state, Wyeno was born and raised on a farm in southeastern Colorado. Both of his parents immigrated from Japan, his father in 1898 and his mother in 1920. Call 303-795-3961.

GALLERY OF GAMES & weekly horoscope
SALOME’S STARS FOR RELEASE WEEK OF APRIL 6, 2015
ARIES (March 21 to April 19) You might be upset about having to deal with problems that are no fault of your own. But you can turn the annoyance into an asset by showing how quickly and how well you can resolve them. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) The Bovine’s fondness for tidiness pays off when you untangle a situation that seems hopelessly snarled. You might later be surprised to learn who will be expressing his or her gratitude. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Although you can tackle your assignment the way you prefer, it might be a good idea to at least ask for suggestions. Who knows? One or two might even turn out to be helpful.
crossword • sudoku & weekly horoscope
GALLERY OF GAMES
CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Make all the changes in your plans or proposals that you feel are necessary before -- repeat, before -- you submit them to your colleagues. You’ll come off looking more decisive that way. LEO (July 23 to August 22) You might feel a mite intimidated in a new environment, be it a job, a classroom or meeting the future in-laws. But enter with a big smile, and everyone will see you as a real take-charge Cat. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) This could be a romantic time for you if you can set aside your cynicism and let yourself believe that someone really cares. If you’re already in a relationship, expect your partner to be extra-loving. LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) It’s a good time to shed any doubts about your abilities. You’ve proved yourself in the past, so why not accept that you’ll do just as well, or better, in dealing with the new challenge ahead? SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Your suspicions might be on the mark, but unless you can prove what you assume, you need to exercise that Scorpion discretion and let events unfold without your assistance. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Be careful not to go over the top this week. Avoid overeating (especially of the wrong foods), or drinking too much, or working too hard. You can do it all, but in moderation. CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) A family matter is given to you to resolve because you have the gift for bringing quarrelsome kinfolk together. But while you’re playing Dr. Phil, don’t neglect your career obligations. AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Someone of importance shares your goals but disagrees with your plan to achieve them. Never mind. Defending your methods with logic and facts earns you admiration and respect. PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Consider getting away, perhaps for the weekend, despite all the demands made on your time and energies. You’ll return refreshed and ready to tackle it all with your usual finesse. BORN THIS WEEK: You have a sense of honesty that makes people believe and trust in you. © 2015 King Features Synd., Inc.

ALL-SOUTH METRO BOYS BASKETBALL TEAM
LEADERS OF THE PACK As we mentioned last week, we added a spot to our all-star basketball teams this year. You learned our seven selections for the All-South Metro Girls Basketball Team last week. In this edition, it’s the boys’ turn. Any coach given the chance to lead this team would truly consider seven a lucky number. The selections include players who can dominate in the paint, others who specialize in creating shots for themselves and teammates, and still others whose niche is draining baskets from long range. As always, the selections were made by Colorado Community Media’s sports staff, with input from area coaches. Eligible players attended schools in Douglas County, the Littleton Public Schools district and Cherry Creek High School.

should be even stronger next year. On March 31, Littleton won the opening faceoff and quickly took control of the game. The Lions mounted repeated attacks, passing the ball around on the perimeter until they could get the ball to a teammate cutting inside near the goal, who would then take the shot on goal. Littleton finished the game credited with 37 shots on goal and seven players who put the ball in the net. Nathan Gothard had a three-goal hat trick. Chad Bouck, Will Gast and Joe Timm each had two goals for the Lions. Donavan Crabtree also had two goals, and was the team leader with five assists. Crabtree said he had a good game against Lutheran. “My teammates were moving a lot when I had the ball so I was able to make five assists today, which is a season high for me,” he said after the game. “I mainly score goals, but I am able to make quite a few assists to help teammates score too.” He said he used to play soccer but now lacrosse is his game. He said he prefers lacrosse because it is a creative sport, which allows players to use their talents to find ways to be successful. “A lot of lacrosse is mental,” he said. “You can’t make a couple mistakes like dropping a ball or making a bad pass, you can’t let that stay in your head and get you down. You have to put the mistakes behind you and what is happening on the field.” He said this season he wants to help his team be successful, and personally, he wants to score at least 30 goals.

Soccer match ends in scoreless tie Arapahoe, Heritage girls play through two OT periods By Tom Munds
tmunds@colorado communitymedia.com One hundred minutes wasn’t enough for a winner to emerge from a March 31 rivalry match, because at the end of the second overtime period, the Heritage-Arapahoe girls soccer game went into the books as a 0-0 tie. “It was a great rivalry game,” Warriors coach Kirk Bast said after the game. “They had a lot more heart than we did. Both teams had scoring opportunities, but if you believe you will score in those situations, you will.” Eagles coach Adam Buseck agreed it was a great rivalry game. “This was typical of an Arapahoe-Heritage game,” he said. “Both teams played well, both teams played hard. A soccer game can be entertaining even if the score is 0-0, and that was the case tonight as it was a fastpaced game up and down the field.” After the March 31 rivalry game, Arapahoe began play in the 4A/5A Centennial League. The Warriors were at home April 7 against Grandview, then are scheduled to play backto-back road games, April 14 against Eaglecrest and April 16 against Overland. The Eagles had six days to practice before heading into games against 4A/5A Continental League opponents. Heritage was on the road April 7 against Castle View, played a home game April 9 against Ponderosa, then will travel to play Regis on April 16. Looking at records, Arapahoe came into the March 31 game as a favorite with a 5-0 record, while Heritage took the field against their rival with a 2-2 mark. But records go out the window when rivals take the field against each other. Both teams came out fired up and looking to take control of the tempo of play. When one team pushed an attack, the opponent stifled the effort and launched an attack of its own. The result was that much of the game was played within 25 yards of the midfield stripe. Each team put together attacks that produced scoring opportunities and even put the ball in the mouth of the goal. However,
Sophie West (16) battles to control the ball for Heritage against Arapahoe midfielder Madi Streker (10) during the March 31 girls soccer game. West won this battle but the game went into double overtime and still ended in a scoreless tie. Photos by Tom Munds in each occasion, goalie play was outstanding and was aided by excellent play by the defenders. “We had good chances to score tonight,” the Warriors coach said. “We did well on corner kicks and had opportunities to score, but it didn’t happen.” Bast said Arapahoe is a young team this season with only two seniors on the roster, but he said the majority of athletes are yearround soccer players, so he has a talented team. “We are working on building our team and I’m not sure yet where our strength will be,” he said. Hannah Archuleta made some outstanding plays in goal for the Warriors. “It was a tough night and it was a little disappointing that we didn’t win the game,” she said after the game. “When I started playing soccer as a kid, I was a forward until our goalie left and the coach made me the goalie. I’ve been playing goalie ever since.” Archuleta said she loves the position. She said soccer is a team sport but she holds herself accountable for how the team plays.

“I know that every game I can get better, and when I get better, my teammates get better too,” the junior said. “The toughest shot for me as a goalie is when the ball is high right under the crossbar. I jump pretty well but I’m not all that tall, so those shots are hard for me.” Heritage also is a young team this season. “We only have three seniors on the roster and the majority of the rest of the team is made up of juniors,” Buseck said after the game. “We have a talented team because most of our girls play soccer all year, but many are multi-sport athletes. For example, we have four starters who played basketball for Heritage and now are out here with us.” He said, as always, league play is challenging because there are so many good soccer teams in the Continental League. “We need to come ready to play every game because we know every league opponent will field a good team,” he said. “Mountain Vista and Rock Canyon is the class of the state and are as good as there is in high school soccer. We are fighting to be competitive with them and we also know the rest of
the teams in the league will also be tough opponents.” Buseck said defense is a team strength. He said the team takes pride in a defense that really works for each other to keep the ball out of the goal area. He said the team also is working to be more polished on the ball and maintain control of it. The Eagles have juniors playing on the fullback line, the defenders who are in front of the Heritage goal. One of the starting defenders is junior Regan Yost. “I have always played defense, and I guess I have been asked to play defense because I am tall,” she said after the game. “I like playing center defender or outside defender, depending on the game.” She the game against Arapahoe was intense and, at times, it was scary because the Warriors put shots in the mouth of the goal. She said she has two goals for the season. “One goal is not to let opponents score any more goals against us,” she said. “The other goal, though it might sound weird, is to head the ball into the net for a goal.”
