Littleton takes reins on construction defects New ordinance is similar to those passed in other cities By Jennifer Smith
G E T SOCI AL WITH US
Allan P. Crawfurd, first president of Arapahoe Community College, could never have imagined that the college would livestream its 50th anniversary party from the trendy new cafe on its Littleton campus to its Parker and Castle Rock locations — or even imagined what “livestream”
might mean. Today, ACC’s students can learn all about livestreaming and pretty much anything else they want: nursing, law enforcement, mortuary science, retail management, psychology, automotive service … the list goes on and on. “It’s such an honor to get to carry on its legacy,” said Diana Doyle, current president, during the celebration on May 5, exactly 50 years since the local election that created the college in 1965. “ACC has such a rich history, and we have every intention of keeping that intact as we move forward.”
jsmith@colorado communitymedia.com Just days after state-level legislation died in a House committee, Littleton became the third Colorado city to take the construction-defects matter into its own hands. “We are not advocates of shoddy construction or shoddy property management,” said Mayor Phil Cernanec. “We’re advocating for conversations.” Mike Braaten, deputy city manager, explained that the city’s new law, passed May 5, is similar to ones enacted in Lakewood and Lone Tree, but differs from what was proposed in the state Legislature in two main ways. First, it gives the builder the absolute right to try to repair any construction defects, so that a property owner or homeowners’ association can’t just go straight
to court. “But if, in good faith, the repairs do not resolve the conflict, the claimant may proceed with action,” Braaten said. Secondly, it requires an HOA to get the consent of the majority of property owners it governs before initiating a suit on behalf of all of them, some of whom might not be experiencing any problems. “It shuts down the ability of every property owner to exercise their property rights, because the lawsuit throws a cloud over the title,” said Stew Meagher, Littleton resident and a member of the South Metro Denver Realtor Association. Twelve people spoke during the public hearing, evenly divided between supporting and opposing the ordinance. Most in the “anti” camp live outside the city, while at least three of those in favor are Littleton residents. But it was the City Council’s vote that mattered, and six of the seven members agreed passing the ordinance was necessary to fill a vast void in the city’s housing Defects continues on Page 4

FBI agent shot at motel Suspect, who was wanted in a string of bank robberies, found dead in Littleton Staff report An FBI agent was shot in Littleton as he tried to arrest a bankrobbery suspect who was later found dead, authorities said. After shooting the agent May
8, the suspect, later identified as 19-year-old Jesus Emmanual Avila, barricaded himself in a 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 major road remained closed during rush hour. The agent’s injuries were not believed to be life threatening, and he was taken to Swedish Medical Center.

Baseball-bat killer gets 38 years Woman falsely accused victim of sexual assault Staff report An Englewood woman was sentenced to 38 years in prison on May 8 for murdering a man she had falsely accused of sexually assaulting her daughter. “The victim was a completely innocent man,” the 18th Judicial District Attorney’s Office said of Denzle Eugene Rainey, 42, who was beaten to death with a baseball bat in an Englewood alley. The killer, Forsythia Eliese Owen, 32, tried to avoid criminal responsibility for the murder by claiming insanity. However, jurors in Owens’ February trial didn’t buy her claim, instead finding her guilty of seconddegree murder, first-degree assault and tampering with evidence.
Around 1 a.m. on Sept. 22, 2013, Owen went to the alley south of Jefferson Drive between Sherman and Grant streets, where Rainey slept, and attacked him with a Louisville Slugger baseball bat. Rainey suffered multiple blunt force injuries and lacerations to the head; a skull fracture; a fractured left arm; six broken ribs; a laceration to the liver; and left testicle hemorrhaging. Owen Despite the efforts of paramedics and medical personnel at nearby Swedish Medical Center, Rainey died in the hospital less than four hours after the attack. A witness clearly identified Owen after hearing two voices from the alley at the time of the attack. Owen was questioned by Englewood police and admitted knowing the victim, but said she had not seen him in
more than a month. The following day, another witness told Englewood police that Owen had asked to borrow his phone. After she gave it back, the witness remembered that an app on his phone recorded all incoming and outgoing calls. While the recording was difficult to hear, police were able to make out the defendant stating key words of interest related to the crime — including the words “last night” and “kill.” Police again interviewed Owen, who initially denied any involvement in the murder, but then later confessed when police expressed their doubts. The defendant said she walked up to Rainey, called him out by his name, raised the bat and swung down. After she beat the victim, she washed the bat in her bathtub and then threw it into her father’s garage. Police later recovered the bat where she stated she left it. Owen stated her motive for the crime was that she believed the victim was sexu-
ally assaulting her child, but the district attorney’s office said nothing supported Owen’s accusation. After her Feb. 12 conviction, Owen faced a range of 16 to 48 years in prison. District Attorney George Brauchler stated: “Despite Colorado having one of the toughest-in-the-nation laws to overcome a plea of insanity, an Arapahoe County jury acknowledged that Owen’s claimed mental illness is no excuse for Owen’s intimate and personal act of repeatedly bludgeoning a poor and defenseless man and leaving him to die alone in an alleyway. She knew what she was doing when she murdered Mr. Rainey, and she will know what she is doing for the next 38 years.” Chief Deputy District Attorney Jason Siers and Deputy District Attorney Laura Anderson prosecuted this case. Judge Marilyn Leonard Antrim presided over the case in Arapahoe County District Court.
Suspect shot by deputy faces attempted-murder charge
Suspect arrested in puppy theft
Alexander West being held on $1 million bond
Staff report
Staff report A man suspected of hitting a deputy with a vehicle at a Centennial shopping center before being shot by a second deputy faces an attemptedmurder charge. Alexander West, 25, is being held on $1 million bond. The injuries to West and the deputy struck by the vehicle were not life threatening, the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office said. The deputy who shot West has been placed on paid administrative leave, which is standard procedure, the sheriff’s office said in a news release. Here’s what the sheriff’s office said
happened just after midnight May 5: At about 12:30 a.m., deputies were called to the shopping center in the 5000 block of East Arapahoe Road on the report of a possible armed robbery of a liquor store. When deputies arrived, the West suspect, identified a day later as West, was in a vehicle. After deputies attempted to make contact, the suspect drove through the parking lot, made several turns and struck a deputy who was responding on foot. A second deputy then shot West. Both West and the deputy were
given first-aid treatment and transported to a local hospital. In a May 6 news release, the sheriff’s office said an armed robbery did not occur at the liquor store. “Preliminary investigation has indicated that this was an intentional act by the suspect,” the release states. West faces the following charges: attempted first-degree murder of a peace officer; first-degree assault; second-degree assault on a peace officer; second-degree assault causing injury with a deadly weapon; false reporting; and violent crime with a weapon. The ongoing investigation is being conducted by the 18th Judicial District Critical Response Team in conjunction with sheriff’s office investigators.
A puppy stolen from a Centennial pet store has been returned, and the woman suspected of taking it has been arrested. Michelle Medina, 39, was charged with theft and was being held at the Arapahoe County jail on $7,250 bond as of May 9. Medina confessed to taking a shiba inu puppy valued at $1,100 from the Perfect Pets store at 6840 S. University Blvd., the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office said in a news release. On May 7, sheriff’s office investigators interviewed Medina, whom they had identified as a suspect with the help of tips
from the public. She told them she took then sold the puppy, the release states. In ve s t i g a t o r s were able to recover the puppy, which was unharmed, and return it to the pet store. Medina The puppy was taken from the store April 29. Surveillance video showed a woman with a large, apparently empty handbag enter the store at about 6:30 p.m., then leave the shop with the bag looking “heavy and full,” the sheriff’s office said.

Littleton mayor hit by car while cycling
Cernanec sore, but in good spirits By Jennifer Smith
jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com Littleton Mayor Phil Cernanec swore the incident wasn’t meant to be a publicity stunt, and he said he’s recovering nicely after being hit by a car on May 7. “Probably to the disappointment of some, I’m going to be OK,” he joked on May 11. Cernanec said he was getting close to home and heading east on Mineral Avenue after a 50-mile bicycle ride to Dinosaur Ridge via the C-470 and Bear Creek trails. As he approached the crosswalk at Jackass Hill Road, he saw he had the green light but that there was a car about to make a right turn to head west on Mineral.
“I’m a little fuzzy on whether he actually stopped or just rolled through,” said Cernanec, who declined to name the likely embarrassed driver. “I tried to make eye contact, but there was sun glare on his window.” The next thing Cernanec said he remembers is his left eye making hard contact with the pavement, followed by his left thigh and buttock. “The bike flew, and I was in the air,” he recalled. “My most anxious moments were those first few, lying still in what is normally a very busy road.” But several people stopped to help immediately, with one person halting traffic while a nurse, a former police officer and a physician’s assistant tended to the mayor. Someone called 911, and the man who hit the mayor got the bicycle out of traffic and back to Cernanec, although the bike was a little worse for the wear.

“I was really very proud of our community,” Cernanec said. “They did all the right things. And it was amazing that it was folks who knew what they were doing.” Paramedics arrived quickly and took Cernanec to Littleton Adventist Hospital. The diagnosis was deep-tissue bruising, but no broken bones. He went home that night. “I notice it when I sit down,” he said. “But it’s not like I’ve never been bruised before. I used to be a hockey goalie, and sometimes the puck hits you where there’s no padding.” Just four days after the accident, Cernanec was back to work and prepared for the next night’s city council meeting. He hit the dance floor at least once, and he said he was hoping to hop back on his bike - quickly repaired by the bike shop Pedal - that very day. His wife, Cathy Schwartz, said she was thankful it wasn’t worse. “It warms my heart on this chilly, damp morning to see this outpouring of wellwishes for Phil,” she said the day after the accident, after her Facebook post about the accident generated hundreds of “likes” and
comments. “Your love and support is very much appreciated.” Amid cracks about checking the driver’s political affiliations and the newly bestowed nickname Mayor “Roadkill” Phil, Schwartz gave Councilmember Bruce Stahlman the “Laughter is the Best Medicine” award for his admonition to Cernanec: “Phil, if you wanted to be a hood ornament, you could have chosen a better car than a Buick.” Though he insisted the collision wasn’t a publicity stunt, Cernanec mentioned he’s training for the seven-day, 465-mile Ride the Rockies event in June and participating in the Great Cycle Challenge to raise money for children with cancer. For more information or to pledge, visit www.greatcyclechallenge.com/Riders/PhilCernanec. Although he’s able to joke about the incident, Cernanec did want to take the opportunity to remind drivers that bicyclists and pedestrians have the right of way in crosswalks, and to remind cyclists to be careful anyway. “Just because you have the right of way doesn’t mean you’re safe,” he said.

City seeks changes to multifamily zone Some fear renters will be displaced By Jennifer Smith
jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com Employees of the city’s planning department held a public hearing on May 4 to clear up what they said was some confusion surrounding proposed changes to one of the city’s zoning districts that allows higher density than other residential zones. The idea, explained Senior Planner Jan Dickinson, was to allow property owners in what’s known as the “R5” district, which includes the northwest section of downtown, to construct for-sale condos and townhouses.
Defects Continued from Page 1
market: affordable, for-sale, multifamily homes. Cernanec acknowledged there’s still no guarantee on the “affordable” part, however. “But absent this, there is a guarantee we will not have affordable housing,” he said. Whether for young couples starting out or seniors looking to downsize, most agree that options are lacking.
FBI Continued from Page 1
Officers entered the suspect’s room in the Essex House Motel at about 6:25 p.m. and found Avila dead, the FBI said. Mike Rankin, FBI special agent in charge, said
The City Council approved basically the same change for the rest of downtown in February. At the time, Dickinson explained that some property owners were scraping single-family houses and building duplexes or triplexes, only to discover that zoning code didn’t allow them to sell the units as separate homes. They had to either sell them as condominiums, creating the expensive need to form a homeowners association, or rent them out. When the people in the R5 zone heard about the proposed changes heading their way, some of them got the impression that their property was being rezoned or about to be seized, said Dickinson. “Certainly nobody can come and buy your property without you selling it to them,” she said.
There were concerns by some who attended the meeting, some of whom are regular critics of development and the council in general, that renters would be displaced from condos or single-family homes. That could happen, conceded Glen Van Nimwegen, community development director, but only if the current property owner wanted to sell. But he noted that realistically, that could happen now; the owner would just have to rent the units out or form an HOA. Van Nimwegen stressed that he believes the proposed changes would encourage homeownership, which the current situation actually discourages when it comes to multifamily units. He also noted the potential that high-density apartments could be redeveloped at much lower densities.
Some people in the group who said they owned multifamily units in the R5 district noted the change could increase property values and produce income for them. For example, a fourplex could be redefined as a townhouse and sold off separately. Another aspect of the proposal would forbid commercial parking lots in the R5 zone. In practice, that means nobody could buy a lot adjacent to a commercial property, scrape whatever building is on it and use it for a parking lot. The planning board was scheduled to hold a public hearing and make a recommendation to the council on May 11, after the deadline for the May 14 issue of the Littleton Independent. Council was expected to hold its own hearing and make a final decision on June 2.
According to data from SMDRA, the number of active listings for townhouses and condominiums has dropped by more than half in Littleton since this time last year, from 72 to 31. At the same time, the average sales price has gone up from about $205,000 to $238,500. There are currently 184 such units that have been approved, but only two have been built, and another two are under construction. “When someone purchases a home for the first time in a community such as Littleton, they are far more likely to establish roots here,” said Littleton resident Kay
Watson, speaking on behalf of SMDRA in her role as a board director. “They are vested. They pay property tax and they care about how it is spent in our parks and in our schools. They become active, stable members of our community.” Council member Jerry Valdes was the lone “no” vote. “I don’t think this ordinance does anything to reduce risk for the homeowner, and I don’t think it does anything to reduce risk for the builder,” he said. “I think we’re getting ahead of ourselves. I think we’re looking for trouble for ourselves. I want to see it play
out at the state. I don’t think we’re ready to take this on ourselves. … It’s market-driven.” Council member Bruce Stahlman countered that in this case, the market has been perverted by a 2007 state law that swung too far to the side of the homeowners. “The argument that favors the status quo does not recognize that in Littleton, the status quo is not working,” he said. Critics of the 2007 law say it caused builders’ insurance rates to skyrocket to more than 50 percent higher than surrounding states, in some cases, effec-
tively shutting down the for-sale market in favor of rentals. About 40 percent of Littleton residents rent, a number that’s stayed fairly stable for the last 10 years, said Braaten. There was some discussion among council members about tweaking the mediation process between builder and homeowner, but in the end, the majority decided it was important to pass what they had before them and ask staff to come back with modifications. “I’d love it to be perfect, but maybe we can’t get it perfect,” said council member Peggy Cole.
it is believed law enforcement did not fire any shots. According to the Arapahoe County Coroner’s Office, Avila died from a single gunshot wound to the head, ruled a suicide. It all started about 4:15 p.m., when the unidentified FBI agent was responding with the Safe
Streets Task Force, a multi-agency unit, at the Essex House, near Santa Fe Drive and Prince Street in Littleton. The agent was shot in the lower leg, and the suspect — who was wanted in connection with a series of bank robberies — barricaded himself in a second-floor room, said Cmdr. Trent Cooper of the Littleton Po-
lice Department. Cooper said two shots were fired, both by the suspect. Santa Fe was closed in both directions from Belleview to Bowles until shortly after 6:30 p.m. No Littleton officers were involved in the initial contact with the suspect, Cooper said. But
the law enforcement presence swelled after the shooting, with Greenwood Village, Denver, Columbine Valley and Englewood police joining Littleton SWAT on the scene, along with Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office deputies. The motel was evacuated, but by the morning of May 9, it had reopened.

proposals to shore up the state’s rickety finances. The governor noted that lawmakers have sent him about 350 bills — far fewer than even in 2011, when the Legislature was divided in the other direction, with Democrats in control of the Senate and Republicans running the House. He said the term veered at times to what he derided as “the Washington model,” where partisan divides slow legislation. Party leaders in both chambers mentioned the partisan tone, too — and blamed the other side. For example, Senate Democratic Leader Rollie Heath shook his head when recounting GOP efforts to ratchet back renewable energy mandates. “Why we would want to turn back the clock and go backward is beyond me,” Heath said. House Republican Leader Brian DelGrosso derided a late-session proposal
from Hickenlooper to overhaul state budgeting to avoid taxpayer refunds by using an accounting mechanism the GOP found improper. “Just because we need the money doesn’t mean that it’s OK to violate the constitution,’’ DelGrosso said. But both sides and the governor insisted they’re trying to focus on areas where lawmakers agreed. Even if less was accomplished this year, the bills that passed were generally moderate and by definition bipartisan. “There was not a lot of contentious stuff that got passed,” DelGrosso said. “There was a lot of middle-of-the-road stuff.’’ Among the big-ticket items lawmakers agreed to this year: • A bill to reduce mandatory statewide standardized tests in early grades and late in high school.

Lawmakers pass Claire Davis bills Both measures garnered bipartisan support By Jennifer Smith
jsmith@colorado communitymedia.com Two bills supported by the family of Claire Davis, who was slain at Arapahoe High School in December 2013, have passed the state Legislature and now await the signature of Gov. John Hickenlooper to officially become law. Michael and Desiree Davis, Claire’s parents, released a statement thanking several state education associations and the Colorado Criminal Justice Committee for their willingness to negotiate support for the bills. “These groups started out opposing the measure, but were willing to work with us on amendments

on law enforcement, including a measure to encourage police departments to use officer body cameras. • A bill to ask voters to correct a drafting error in the state’s 2013 pot-tax measure that means Colo-
that improved the bill and allowed them to withdraw their opposition,” wrote the family. The Claire Davis School Safety Act, SB 213, will recognize the responsibility of schools to protect their students, faculty and staff from reasonably foreseeable acts of violence within school facilities and at school-sponsored events. The measure also provides a narrow definition of the circumstances in which a lawsuit could be brought against a school for breaching that responsibility and sets a cap on the damages that can be recovered. “The General Assembly acknowledges that times have changed in this country and in this state because there have been so many acts of school violence in which students and teachers have been killed and injured,” reads the bill. “Parents have a reasonable expectation that when they send their children to a
public school that the school and its employees will have taken steps to keep the children safe.” The second bill, SB 214, creates a permanent committee on school safety and youth mental health and charges it with examining ways to improve how schools and the mental-health system deal with troubled youths. Both bills had bipartisan sponsorship, passing unanimously in the Senate and with just a handful of opponents in the House. Locally, Sen. Linda Newell, a Democrat, and Rep. Kathleen Conti, a Republican, each voted for them. “(This sends) a clear message to public educational entities that the status quo is no longer acceptable,” write Michael and Desiree Davis. “It’s time for our schools to change and evolve. It’s time to make our schools safer by helping kids in crisis.”
rado will have to refund some $58 million in taxes on recreational marijuana. • A bill to make it harder to petition initiatives onto ballots. The measure requires proposed ballot measures to receive a fiscal analysis before signatures are gathered. The bill had feisty opposition in both parties but prevailing lawmakers argued that the analysis would give voters more information. Hickenlooper vowed to keep
working on proposals to shore up the state’s checkbook, an effort that is complicated by conflicting constitutional requirements even when the economy is strong, as it is now. The generally optimistic governor brushed away suggestions that lawmakers were ineffective this year. “Rarely is everything perfect in a legislative session,” Hickenlooper said.

LEGISLATIVE ROUNDUP Drone measure fails
Colorado lawmakers — who adjourned from this year’s session May 6 — have given up their efforts to put new limits on drone surveillance. The Senate voted May 5 to ax the last surviving measure of the year to limit drones. Sponsors say they couldn’t find a way to limit surveillance without trampling on free speech rights or the ability of law enforcement to carry out investigations. This is the third year the state Legislature has failed to craft a bill limiting surveillance by drones or other remote recording technology. Republican Sen. Kevin Lundberg sponsored the failed efforts and vowed to try again next year. He says advancing technology leaves citizens unsure how to make sure their privacy is protected.
Rain-barrel ban stays
Colorado’s only-in-thenation ban on backyard rain barrels is sticking around for another year. The state Senate moved May 5 to reject a bill to allow homeowners to use up to two 55-gallon rain barrels. The maneuver was a lateevening vote to delay the bill, meaning it won’t make it to the governor’s desk
before lawmakers conclude work for the year. The state House previously passed the bill, and it had bipartisan support in the Senate, too. But other Republicans opposed the measure as a dangerous precedent. Colorado’s rain-barrel ban is little known and widely flouted. But the barrels violate Colorado water law, which says that people can use but not keep water that runs on or through their property.
Legislators’ pay to rise Lawmakers agreed on a bill to increase annual salaries for future legislators, the governor and other members of the executive branch. State lawmakers would get pay raises of 27 percent, from $30,000 a year to about $38,000 a year. The governor would get a 30 percent pay hike, from $90,000 a year to about $117,000 a year. The idea had its detractors, including lawmakers who say they can’t justify the increases so soon after the economic downturn. But supporters pointed out that pay rates for the offices cited in the bill haven’t increased in nearly 20 years. — Compiled from the Associated Press

Ready for motorcycle safety season

CDOT reaches out on importance of training
By Christy Steadman
csteadman@coloradocommunitymedia.com
Dan Townsend has been comfortable on a motorcycle since he was 10. The Arvada resident is now 38. “It’s just amazing to ride,” he said. “Wind in your face. The sound of the engine. No hood to quiet it down.” Riding a motorcycle gives Townsend “freedom from enclosed doors.” May is Motorcycle Safety Awareness Month, and the Colorado Department of Transportation would like to reach out to all motorcycle riders — even the experienced riders such as Townsend — on the importance of safety training. Motorcycles make up 3 percent of the vehicles on the road, but account for 17 percent of motorized accidents, said CDOT spokesman Sam Cole. In 2014, 92 motorcyclists lost their lives in fatal crashes in Colorado, and preliminary data shows there has been more than 15 deaths so far this year, he said. “Motorcycles are hugely vulnerable on the roadways,” Cole said. But “there’s a lot of things motorcyclists can do to keep themselves safe and alive.” Ride Wise is a public outreach initiative to encourage all Colorado motorcyclists to get the safety training. The training classes, offered through a program called Motorcycle Operator Safety Training, incorporate classroom education with real-life application on controlled courses. Tragic results can happen to a rider who is unskilled, Cole said, and he added there are simple steps they can learn that may be the difference of life and death. Motorcycle-riding season is just about to begin, he added. “This is when people are getting on their bikes,” Cole said. “They may be a bit rusty from not riding all winter. It’s a good time to brush up on some skills.”
TIPS FOR DRIVERS TO AVOID A COLLISION WITH A MOTORCYCLE Eliminate distractions — Distracted driving is dangerous for all motorists, and can include everything from playing with an electronic device or eating and drinking, to grooming and even talking to a passenger. Anything that keeps a person’s eyes off the road for any given amount of time. Pay attention at intersections — Follow the right-of-way. Be aware of a motorcycle that may be going straight through an intersection when you’re making a left-hand turn. Special attention should be taken at a traffic lights or stop signs. Give notice — Drivers can give advanced notice for a lane change or turn to motorcycles by turning on turn signals slightly earlier than normal. Check mirrors and blind spots —T his is especially important when making a lane change. A motorcycle approaching from behind is harder to see than an approaching vehicle. Evaluate a motorcycle’s speed when possible — A motorcycle is smaller than vehicles, so it is good to try to evaluate a motorcycle’s speed when passing, changing lanes and at intersections, to make sure the motorcycle clears the area before potential collision. *Information provided by Colorado State Patrol spokesman Trooper Nate Reid
Basic safety tips for motorcycle operators:
Wear the right gear — A person has a better chance of avoiding serious bodily injury if the correct gear is always worn. Proper gear includes a helmet, face or eye protection and protective clothing. Know the motorcycle — Make sure all the mechanics, such as lights, turn signals, horn, etc., are working properly. Familiarize yourself with the motorcycle’s gear pattern, such as the throttle, clutch and brakes. See and be seen — Motorcycles are smaller than cars, so make sure other vehicles on the road is able to see an approaching motorcycle. Keep a safe distance from vehicles, both in front, behind and to the side. Know what’s going on around you — Improve riding strategy by applying a five step process to make judgments in traffic: Scan, Identify, Predict, Decide and Execute. Learn the tips — Operating a motorcycle is different than operating a car. Riders should educate themselves on turning properly, riding at night or in different weather elements, group riding and carrying passengers or cargo. *Information gathered from the Colorado Department of Revenue’s Colorado Motorcycle Operator’s Handbook

Heritage student found with gun at school Boy arrested without incident Staff report A Heritage High School student was arrested May 5 for having a gun on school grounds. At about 7:20 a.m., another student who is acquainted with the suspect told school staff that the suspect had a firearm in his vehicle. The school resource officer contacted
the student, found the gun and arrested the boy for being in possession of a deadly weapon on school grounds, a class 6 felony. At no time was the weapon displayed, nor were any students threatened. The firearm was confiscated, and the suspect was jailed. The school day was not disrupted, and classes continued as scheduled. “This is a great example of a young person exemplifying the national campaign, ‘If you see something, say something,’” stated a release from the Littleton Police Department.

Littleton schools didn’t wait on state Douglas County dilemma was faced by adjacent district By Jane Reuter
jreuter@colorado communitymedia.com
The outgoing Littleton Public Schools superintendent said his community shares the Douglas County School Board’s concerns about Colorado’s school-funding formula, but decided it couldn’t wait for help from the state. “This is not my district, it’s not our staff’s district, it’s the community’s district,” said Scott Murphy, reflecting on its decision to put an ultimately successful bond issue on the 2013 ballot. “The community has to decide what it wants its Murphy schools to do and be. “We’d gotten to the point where we could wait all day for the state, but we decided not to.” Like Douglas County, Littleton needed money to repair and maintain aging buildings — its average structure is more than 50 years old. It’s using the funds to replace boilers and roofs, update electrical and plumbing systems, and improve technology infrastructure.
FUNDING OUR SCHOOLS
About 60 percent of voters approved the LPS measure, which Murphy said was not controversial. In part, he believes that’s because the school board was united in support of the issue. With passage of the 2013 measure, LPS extended its mill levy, and taxpayers’ school bills stayed the same. Had voters not approved the question, their tax bill would have decreased by $36 a year, or $3 a month. The situation is almost identical in Douglas County today. DCSD, which has a $275 million list of unfunded projects, could ask taxpayers in November to approve a new $200 million bond. Because it would replace a bond that is maturing, homeowners’ school tax bills would remain unchanged instead of dropping by about $36 a year. School board members say they haven’t yet decided if they will put the question to voters. In 2014, the Douglas County school board cited concerns about state funding as the reason to not put a local funding
measure on the ballot. Board vice president Doug Benevento said at a February meeting he won’t support such a question until the state addresses its school finance formula. Littleton Public Schools is funded at almost the same dollar amount as DCSD. The state’s estimated 2015-16 per-pupil funding for LPS is $7,022.19. For DCSD, it’s $7020.08 — a difference of $2.11 per student. LPS is much smaller than DCSD, however. It serves about 15,000 students, compared to Douglas County’s 67,000. Like Douglas County officials, Murphy is concerned about Littleton’s state funding, which is lower than that of most other metro-area districts. He’s been involved for years in trying to rectify the situation, and currently serves on the Colorado School Finance Project board that advises policymakers. Murphy, who will retire in June, said the formula doesn’t provide an equal playing field for all districts. “We are rapidly approaching the place where our funding doesn’t guarantee what the (Colorado) Constitution asks for, which is a thorough and uniform public education,” he said. “The gap between where we (the state) are in funding and the national average continues to get wider and wider.” Murphy said LPS sets those concerns aside for its schools, which rank among the highest-performing statewide and typically outperform DCSD. “We’re in a relatively conservative com-
munity,” he said. “But when it comes to the values they have, education is big. People come here because they want the education we provide in Littleton. They don’t want to see it sacrificed because of state funding. “We can continue to lobby the state, but under its current structure of funding, I don’t believe they will ever have the money to keep up with what our community expects. “There comes a point where you can’t squeeze blood out of a turnip, when there isn’t money unless the community steps up.” LPS voters have never rejected a schoolfunding ballot question. In Douglas County, voters defeated such measures in 2008 and 2011. In pitching its 2013 measure to voters, Murphy said, “We put it in terms of, `What do you want your schools to be? What do you want your neighborhoods to look like? Do you want people saying, `I want to live here because this great facility is a great reflection of the programs you have inside?’” “We try to take the politics and ideology of tax increases out of it,” Murphy said. “We have people on the political spectrum on all kinds of issues. But when I go into a room, I still couldn’t tell you who’s a Democrat, Republican or independent. People here are the education party when I meet with them.”
School leader’s stance on funding changed Douglas County’s Larsen cites multiple factors in altering position he held in 2010 By Jane Reuter
jreuter@coloradocommunitymedia.com Douglas County School Board President Kevin Larsen strongly supported a schoolfunding measure in 2010, but now says the school district shouldn’t rush to meet the increasingly narrow window of opportunity to put a similar issue on the November 2015 ballot. He also doesn’t entirely disagree with Littleton Public Schools Superintendent Scott Murphy’s contention that a district shouldn’t rely on the state changing its formula to help solve capital needs. “I think there’s some truth to that, but you have to have a community that’s informed in order to be ready (to approve a ballot issue),” Larsen said. “I’m not going to stop trying to win at the state level, because I think the amount we’re shortchanged is significant.” The Douglas County and Littleton school districts are among the lowest funded on the Front Range. “At the same time, I think the discussions
that are going on in the community (about capital needs) are helpful,” said Larsen, adding that more such talks are needed before the board can decide on a course of action. A November 2015 bond issue measure could generate about $200 million for DCSD, addressing most of the $275 million in capital needs identified by the district’s Long Range Planning Committee. The board voted in 2014 not to put the measure on the ballot, saying Douglas County residents — already overburdened and paying a disproportionate share of taxes — were unlikely to approve a local funding question. It has cited similar concerns this year, the last chance to propose a bond to maintain tax bills that would otherwise go down by about $36 a year per homeowner. Larsen said he’s learned a great deal since 2010 about the state funding formula and how it interacts with the district’s budget. He also gained significant insight when the measure he pleaded for in 2010 later was defeated by voters. “If we don’t supplement our anorexic funding with some financial nutrition very soon, we are going to see a starving system with drastic consequences,” Larsen told the Douglas County School Board during its Feb. 16, 2010, meeting. “Keeping our
schools strong, even if you don’t have a kid in them, keeps Douglas County a desirable place to live. The extra mill levy is a very small insurance premium for my property value and home equity.” Larsen pleaded for a united board to endorse the proposal. Though the board eventually agreed to put the question on the November 2011 ballot, voters rejected a $200 million bond for capital improvements and a $20 million mill levy override to finance a pay-forLarsen performance plan. He was elected to the board in 2011 and named president in 2013. “From the position I was in 2010 and where I am today, I know a lot more both in how the local and state interact, and what might and might not appeal to the community,” Larsen said. The Douglas County School District has not done any surveying to determine community support for a bond issue. “There’s expense in doing that and making sure it’s representative,” he said. “I think the first stage is to see what are all the ways we can increase revenue … and have we explored every option that may be a better deal to the taxpayer (than a bond).”
Larsen acknowledged the board would need to decide soon whether to put a question on the fall ballot. “This November isn’t the only window of consideration,” he said. “I think we’ve got to look at what we’re going to do in the long term for the district.” The school district also will benefit from property values that are rising as the economy improves. With those rising property values and accompanying increased tax revenue, Larsen sees “a very compelling case to make at the Legislature next year” for increasing school funding statewide and further reducing the negative factor. The negative factor is a recession-driven legislative cut to K-12 funding. Since 2010, it has reduced K-12 funding statewide by about $1 billion annually. Regardless of what does or doesn’t happen in November, Larsen said schools will be kept in good condition. “We’ve not had a boiler break. We’ve not had a roof get so leaky we can’t hold school,” he said. “We’re able to keep these schools safe and operating. We’re going to have the resources to do what’s necessary to keep our schools going this next year and even beyond that, while we continue looking at a longer-term approach to everything.”

Catching right wave is crucial to success “Success begets success” — a simple three-word statement that can become a tsunami of positive outcomes in our personal and professional lives as we ride the wave of success. Now be careful, because just as quickly, we can get pulled under by the wave. Let me share what I mean here. When we are experiencing success, happiness, and joy, it seems that we are attracting even more success, more happiness, and even more joy. More opportunities seem to come our way, people want to hang out with us, and our lives become more enriched with each day that passes. This happens as we come to expect the good things in life to become manifest in our lives, and in all areas of our lives. We ride the wave. Yet the same holds true for when we start feeling low or down in some way. Maybe we lost a sale or a deal, maybe we didn’t get the job we had hoped for, and maybe a relationship we are in is suffering or has maybe even ended recently. We are so low we forgot what the top of the waves look like or feel like. We lost the sense of the sun and wind hitting us as the undertow drags us further under with each negative feeling or belief. So if we can say that success begets
success, can we say that defeat only brings on more defeat? Only if we hold on to a belief system that says success is for others and not for me. We say things like, “I lost, and I will lose again.” But when we hold on to the belief that a defeat only makes us stronger, we will win the next one, we are already swimming out and looking for the next wave to ride in. We say things like, “Bring it on, I am ready.” We are riding the wave. A wave could be a mighty force of nature. We have seen as waves have devastated homes and communities as they wreak havoc upon the shoreline. And we have also seen the beauty and majesty of the waves as they crest upon the shore. We have watched in person or on television as surfers of all skill levels and ages have rid-
den the tops of the waves to glory just like champions. Our success, yes, our own personal success can be found atop the waves we ride in our own lives. If we are in a relationship that is going beautifully, then we need to ride that wave and make it even stronger — doing more each day to enhance that relationship. If our business is delivering results beyond what we are expecting or forecasting, we need to ride that wave and raise the bar even higher. And I know I don’t have to tell you what to do if you have been crushed recently by a wave of negativity. I know that you are already aware that it’s time to swim back out and find the next wave to ride atop of, riding the wave of success and current of positivity. How about you? Are you riding the tops of the waves or feeling crushed by the weight of the water? Either way I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@ gmail.com. And when we ride the waves of success it really will be a better than good week.

Fight’s over, so it’s back to the century
from California. I love that song. “In the clearing stands the Boxer,” right? She is a feisty senator, that’s for sure. Maybe I am missing a chromosome. I am not sure why boxing doesn’t interest me. Or watching action films. I like the action between two intelligent and clever and witty people who have a conversation. Now you’re talking. When it comes to beating each other up, I just don’t get it. I guess Floyd Mayweather has had some problems separating his profession from his personal life. Remember Sonny Liston? Connections with the underworld. Failed to answer the bell for the seventh round in his fight with Muhammed Ali in 1964. Liston may have had his trainer put an astringent on his gloves before the fifth round, to get it into Ali’s eyes. Professional — and amateur — boxing
has been soiled by corruption for a long time. There even have been numerous incidents in the Olympics. It’s one of the reasons why I don’t watch anything that is judged. Here’s another beautiful name: Don King. I would like to see him go 10 with Robert DeNiro. Director Martin Scorsese was as disinterested in boxing as I am, but nevertheless he created one of the best films ever made involving a sport: “Raging Bull.” The next time you watch it, I want you to notice where the camera is when Jake LaMotta is determined. It’s in the ring. When LaMotta is not determined, the camera is outside the ring. Brilliant metaphor. In one fight LaMotta decides enough is enough, and the camera moves from outside the ring to the inside. And notice the blood on the ropes. Of course, there have been times when I wished I could have socked someone, but I know I would have regretted it. I do not have violent impulses that lead to fist fighting. I take my anger out in writing. I like to put 8-ounce gloves on my verbs and adjectives, but now and then, I have regretted even doing that.

How changes in Medicare could affect you In April, Congress passed legislation that’s supposed to fix once and for all the formula the government uses to pay doctors who treat Medicare patients. The so-called doc fix legislation has been a political hot potato since the late 1990s, when Congress tried to slow down healthcare costs by cutting doctor payments. The docs complained when Medicare tried to cut their payments, and 17 times Congress stopped the cuts. This time was different, though. Democrats and Republicans came together to fix the formula, gave doctors a small raise, and began to change the basic Medicare benefit that has helped millions of seniors and disabled people for 50 years. Changing Medicare from an insurance plan that pays virtually all a person’s medical costs (assuming they have Medigap coverage) has been a longstanding goal of many Republicans and Democrats, too. The end game is to convert Medicare into what’s known as a premium support

After the Mayweather-Pacquiao “Fight of the Century,” both boxers were sued. I couldn’t be happier. Mayweather was sued for $20 million by the mother of three of his children. Pacquiao was sued for not disclosing a pre-fight injury. - I decided to come up with a list of nthings I would rather do than to watch two emen fight each other. l Digest my breakfast. Open a jar of pickles. Wave to my mail carrier. Fold towels. , Learn how to say, “No more pancakes,” in German. Switch to Geico. No, maybe not. Read Steven Tyler’s autobiography. No, maybe not that either. But I’m sure I would much rather read Norman Fell’s autobiogtraphy. True or false? Fell made a brief appearance in “The Graduate.” True. I guess there must be something viscerally masculine about watching men — and nwomen — knock the yogurt out of each aother. I think I would rather spend the day trying to find out everything there is to know about yogurt, than to watch two men fight each other. But I would watch if Simon and Garfunkel got into the ring. Weren’t they at odds for years anyhow? And they wrote that great song about Barbara Boxer, the United States senator
A publication of
More means testing of Medicare premiums
or a voucher plan. Under this arrangement the government would give seniors a sum of money to buy whatever coverage they wanted in the open market. The plan would be similar to the subsidies that 8 million or so Americans receive for Obamacare policies. Whether such vouchers will keep pace with medical inflation over the years is unclear. The same applies to Obamacare subsidies. The current legislation doesn’t go that far yet, but senior advocates see it as a foot in the door. Here’s what it will do:
The premise of Medicare was that it was social insurance. Everyone paid the same premium and everyone had the right to receive the same basic benefits. But in 2006 Congress changed the law so that individuals with incomes over $85,000 and $170,000 for couples paid more. The House bill changes the rules again so that some people already paying higher premiums will pay more, a measure that could further erode universal political support for the program. The president’s budget proposal would have required higher premiums for even more seniors. Stacy Sanders, the federal policy director for the Medicare Rights Center, an advocacy group, told me, “This is problematic because eventually middle class people would pay more. If the president’s proposal were implemented today, beneficiaries with incomes around $45,000 in today’s dollars would pay higher premiums.” Medicare continues on Page 10

Medicare Continued from Page 9
Require more skin in the game
That means some seniors will have to pay more out-of-pocket. No one who becomes eligible for Medicare in 2020 or thereafter will be able to buy coverage for Medicare’s Part B deductible, which applies to physician and outpatient services. Those who work with seniors worry that’s a first step to totally redesigning the benefit to require more and more skin in the game. Future changes could mean much higher deductibles (it’s currently $147) and requiring beneficiaries to pay high out-ofpocket maximums before their Medigap insurance kicks in. A few years ago some proposals called for maximums in the $5,000 to $7,000 range. Those pushing for higher cost sharing for seniors cite an old study from the RAND Corp. that found when patients have to pay from their own pocketbooks, they don’t go to the doctor as often. The theory and the hope is that if Medicare and private supplement plans pay less and individuals have to pay more, healthcare costs will decrease. But RAND also found patients couldn’t discriminate among necessary and unnecessary care. “You may see savings at the front end,
but you’ll pick up the costs at the backend in emergency room use and more hospitalizations,” says Bonnie Burns, a policy specialist with California Health Advocates. What’s at issue here are future tax increases that may be necessary to fund Medicare, and powerful stakeholders like employers don’t want to pay them. In his blog post Douglas Holtz-Eakin, president of the American Action Forum, a center right policy institute, said the House bill fixes the doctor payment formula and introduces structural changes in Medicare, adding the two changes balance each other over the next 20 years “without raising taxes.” Cuts to seniors and lower government payments to hospitals fund part of the doc fix. The rest of the tab is added to the deficit. Apparently it was a price many members of Congress who’ve railed for years against deficit spending were willing to pay to get what one senator called a “down payment” on entitlement reform.

So happy together
Preschoolers shine big time
their rendition of “You’ve Got a Friend in Me.” Behind the stage, the little ones lit up with excitement when their high school counterparts came to keep them company before they went on stage. And when the time came, the young singers linked hands with the Women’s Select singers and took the stage for a heartwarming performance. Heritage High School’s choirs are under the direction of Andrew Fischer. The Village preschool singers were under the direction of teacher Brenda Smith.

S2 Study aims to uncover why cancer plagues golden retrievers
The Independent | The Herald 11
May 14, 2015
Lifespan of the popular breed has gotten shorter
other breeds and even people, because humans carry 95 percent of the same DNA. “Canine cancer has become a dog owner’s greatest fear,” said Dr. David Haworth, president and CEO of the foundation, which invested $25 million in the study. “You don’t see dogs running loose that much anymore, we don’t see a lot of infectious diseases, and the vaccines we have today are very good, so our concerns are warranted.’’ The vets haven’t learned enough yet to improve or prolong the retrievers’ lives, but key factors could lie anywhere, said Dr. Michael Lappin, who has 19 patients from Buzzards Bay, Massachusetts, in the study. When he graduated from veterinary school in 1972, golden retrievers lived 16 or 17 years. Today, it’s nine or 10 years. Golden retrievers die of bone
By Sue Manning Associated Press
If a golden retriever gives birth, gets stung by a bee or sprayed by a skunk, veterinarians want to know. Scientists are studying the popular breed to find out why their lifespans have gotten shorter over the years and why cancer is so prevalent. The Colorado-based Morris Animal Foundation recently got the first lifetime study of 3,000 purebred golden retrievers up and running after signing up the first dogs in 2012. The nonprofit says the review of health conditions and environmental factors facing goldens across the U.S. can help
WHAT'S HAPPENING NEAR YOU?
cancer, lymphoma and a cancer of the blood vessels more than any other breed in the country. Lappin plans to get his families together in a few months to see if they have found ways to make life easier for their dogs, especially because the most helpful data about cancer, obesity, diabetes and other chronic conditions won’t emerge for six or seven years, researchers say. Early exams showed 33 percent of the dogs, ages 1 to 5 years old, had skin disease or ear infections; 17 percent had gastrointestinal illnesses; and 11 percent had urinary disease. The dogs get medication to treat the conditions, but vets can’t treat them differently because it would skew the results, Lappin said. Marla Yetka, of Denver, says her nearly 2-year-old golden retriever, Snickers, joined the study and has
been suffering from skin problems. Yetka uses oatmeal shampoo on her pet, but she’s looking forward to talking with other participants about their remedies. “I have too many friends who have lost goldens,’’ she said. “Is it what we are feeding them, their environments, their breeding?’’ Pet owners keep tabs on everything, from a move across country or across town, a change in climate or time zone, new children at home, different food or behavioral changes. Most keep journals so they don’t constantly call the vets when their dog gets a thorn in its foot, eats a spider or devours a bunch of bologna if it tears into the groceries. The vets collect blood, waste, and hair and nail samples annually to test if the dogs get sick, hoping to uncover a common thread or early warning sign among dogs that develop cancer or other dis-
eases. Doctors also check for changes in temperature, blood pressure, energy, diet, sleeping patterns or other factors that could explain illnesses. “Everyone involved will feel the burden it will take to be able to say, `I am playing a role in stopping cancer in these animals I love,’ ” Haworth said. So far, seven goldens have died of conditions such as cancer and gastrointestinal problems, and one was hit by a car, Haworth said. Another dropped out when its owner died. The dogs come from every state; about half are male and half are female; and half are fixed and half are not. Those who brought dogs into the study, including both veterinarians, hope goldens get a shot at the longer life they used to enjoy. “I’m glad I found the study and feel in some small way, I might make a difference,’’ Yetka said.

ACC
A look at the early days
Continued from Page 1
Students, faculty and community members were on hand to hear Doyle read Gov. John Hickenlooper’s proclamation declaring it “Arapahoe Community College Day” in Colorado. The proclamation notes ACC was founded through a grassroots movement and was the first community college in the metro area. It has grown from the original student body of 550, which met at various houses and a former elementary school in the neighborhood, to today serving more than 22,000 students on three campuses and online. “The mission of Arapahoe Community College is to provide innovative and responsive educational and economic opportunities in an accessible, inclusive environment that promotes success for students, employees, and the community … and Arapahoe Community College upholds the highest academic standards and supports the growth and success of each individual,” reads the proclamation. Carol Patterson, Doyle’s executive assistant and head of the celebration committee, can vouch for that. Her daughter Susan graduated from ACC in 2013 with an associate degree and is now majoring in business at the University of Colorado-Denver. “ACC is a great place to go for an education,” she said. A highlight of the event was the big reveal of what’s going into a time capsule mounted on the wall outside ACC’s new café, which will be bolted up tight for the next 25 years. Along with ACC promo items like pens and coffee mugs, there’s a photo of the first faculty, a CD performed by ACC philosophy instructor and accomplished guitarist Jeff Broome, that day’s Denver Post,

John Hickenlooper, declaring May 4 “ACC Day.” Courtesy photo this year’s course catalog, a cell phone and perhaps the thing that will be least familiar to young students 25 years from now: a wired mouse. The most inexplicable item is a time capsule from 1998 that staff dug up while looking for items to place in the new one. It has no instructions as to when to open it or why it was there in the first place, though Patterson said 1998 is around the time work began on the Weber Center for Learning Resources, named for then-retiring president James Weber and completed in 2001. “We wanted to dive in, but it’s not time,” said Patterson. “We think it should be at least 25 years.” Patterson invites the entire community to the 50th anniversary’s last big shindig, a gala event on May 21.

Although Littleton has a long history of supporting its schools, the same cannot be said for its initial enthusiasm about launching the metro area’s first community college. According to a September 1966 Littleton Independent article by Houstoun Waring, the idea was originally floated by Littleton Public Schools Superintendent AA Brown in 1959, “but the time was not ripe and the plan was voted down on May 5, 1959, by 13 to 1. Most of us thought the junior college was dead.” But one woman, Virginia Baker, refused to give up, and she was very much used to achieving her goals. Having launched a successful campaign to get art programs into schools and scratching out the beginnings of TLC Meals on Wheels in her kitchen, she began meeting with local businessmen at the early morning “Round Table” at the original Abe’s Restaurant on Main Street. Encouraged by the response of the likes of Jack Thomas, Norman Workman, R.B. Valore and council member John Kinghorn, she visited the City Council and arranged a meeting at Town Hall to launch the “Junior College Plan.” By the end of that meeting, a steering committee had been formed with Kinghorn as chair, and a feasibility study was launched. Sheridan joined Littleton’s effort, and the cities pledged a twomill ceiling on a levy. Even the notoriously cost-conscious Waring was on board, endorsing the college in the Independent. An election was set for May 4, 1965, and intense campaigning ensued. Opposition to the plan was led
by William B. Myers, but the vote in his neighborhood was the only one opposed, 296-201. The other five polling places were favorable, and the final vote was 1,690 to 1,449 in favor of creating a junior college district. On June 26, 1965, the College Governing Council was elected, headed by James McKechnie. Allan P. Crawfurd was hired, and he began to hire faculty to teach classes that were scheduled to begin in September 1966 in West School, where the child-care center is now, and surrounding buildings. Simultaneously, staff at the City of Littleton was working on getting a more permanent solution to a building. Most of the work fell on the shoulders of Larry Borger, who was then the administrative assistant to the city manager, Carl Broberg. Borger, who became the city manager later that year and served through 1972, called the effort the city’s first urban renewal authority, which bought 55 acres that housed 147 families and 12 businesses where the college’s main building sits now. The land was cleared and sold to the college district at a discount. On May 13, Borger mailed a foot-tall stack of paperwork to the U.S. Housing and Home Finance Agency, forerunner of the Department of Housing and Urban Development, in Fort Worth, Texas. “It was the first such urban renewal effort by a suburban community in the Rocky Mountain West,” said Borger. And the rest, as they say, is history. For a comprehensive history of Arapahoe Community College, check out retired history professor Frank Lee Earley’s book, “The View From the Fourth Floor: A Personal History of Arapahoe Community College, 1965-2005.”

Lone Tree Hooters’ future in suspense Council fails to make decision on liquor license application By Jane Reuter
jreuter@coloradocommunitymedia.com A motion to approve Hooters’ liquor license languished for lack of a second during the May 5 Lone Tree City Council meeting. Mayor Jim Gunning’s request for a second, repeated twice, was both times met with silence from council members who already had voiced their reluctance about the restaurant opening along County Line Road. “There wasn’t an approval or denial (given),” City Manager Seth Hoffman said. “One of those things needs to happen. “There are limited reasons a liquor license can be denied under state statute. Any denial would have to be articulated within the scope of the statutes.” The issue will be continued during the council’s 7 p.m. May 19 meeting. Between now and then, Gunning said the council will work with staff to answer some remaining questions regarding the application. Hooters, known for its chicken wings and waitresses, or “Hooters Girls,” is applying for a liquor license at the former TGI Fridays at County Line Road and Yosemite Street. The space has been vacant since TGI Fridays closed in 2014. Lone Tree Hooters Inc. has already signed a 10-year lease for the site. The stall came after Hooters’ representatives gave extensive testimony about a community survey showing support for the Lone Tree location, the chain’s recent efforts to become more family friendly, its “very strict uniform standard” and history of liquor license violations. Gunning called for a vote. “It’s a legitimate business,” he said. “It’s

The survey was 80 percent in favor of doing it. We have very little grounds to say no to an established franchise moving into another building that an established franchise occupied.” Council member Kim Monson made a motion to approve the license, even after expressing gratitude toward opponents who spoke. “However, I feel this is really a property rights and freedom-of-speech issue,” she said. “We have to be really careful in America where we don’t honor property rights and freedom of speech, even if we don’t like what somebody else says. If we start to go down that road, we could lose a lot of our freedoms. “Your freedom is, if you don’t like that es-

tablishment, you don’t frequent it.” None of the other three council members seconded the motion. Gunning asked if the council would reconsider but again was met with silence. Monson asked if she could speak but Gunning advised against it. “We’re subject to a legal action now,” he said. “I think they’re going to exercise their legal right.” Attorney Jack Rotole, who represented Hooters during the meeting, offered little comment after it concluded. “There’s nothing to say because no decision has been made yet,” he said. Brian Weston, Lone Tree Hooters president, did not return calls for comment. During the hearing, council member Susan Squyer said she doesn’t like the idea of a Hooters in Lone Tree. “It’s more about the image and what that brings to our community,” she said, but noted the council lacks legal grounds to deny a liquor license. “I will abide by the law, but I probably won’t come in to Hooters.” Four people — all members of the same family — testified against granting the license during the May 5 meeting. “This establishment would compromise
the quality of life we currently have in Lone Tree,” said Margarita Nelson, whose daughters also spoke against the proposal. “We would be promoting the idea that over-sexualization of women is acceptable in Lone Tree.” Council member Harold Anderson said Hooters’ record of liquor license infractions in Colorado is high and “almost embarrassing” to read. Since 1999, 14 liquor license suspensions or citations were recorded in Colorado at 10 different restaurants owned by Weston’s Restaurants of America. The company owns several Colorado Hooters and Li’l Ricci restaurants. Weston defended it as “a very impressive record for as long as we’ve been in this state and the number of liquor licenses we have.” The planned Hooters building is within an area of Lone Tree the council zoned for sexually oriented businesses in 2013, after a Fascinations adult store tried to open in the Entertainment District. But Hoffman said that doesn’t come into play with Hooters. “It’s not relevant because this is not a sexually oriented business,” he said. Hooters has more than 430 locations in 28 countries.

Spanish celebration showcases student accomplishments Youths display language skills, cultural studies at event By Christy Steadman
csteadman@colorado communitymedia.com
Spanish is a different type of class, said SkyView Academy teacher Jessica Lui. Students generally look forward to Spanish class, she added, because they watch videos, do some role playing, sing and listen to music. Spanish language and culture is taught at SkyView, a tuition-free public charter school in Highlands Ranch, to all students from preschool through eighth grade, and high school students have the option to continue the courses as a foreign language option. Spanish class is fun, Lui said, but the students are learning a lot — a few hundred vocabulary words each year plus sentence structure, she said, so they can have a basic conversation by at least the time they are in middle school. When a person begins to study a foreign language at a young age, Lui said, they can learn it fairly quickly. “They’re able to distin-guish the sounds more easily.” e But students are not only learning a language, Lui said, they also do research projects and learn about the different cultures in all the Spanish-speaking countries of the world. On May 2, the school hosted a three-hour Spanish celebration where at least 600 students, pre-K through 12th grade, got to boast their Spanish-language skills and cultural knowledge. “It’s a full-school Spanish celebration,” Lui ssaid, “to showcase what they’ve learned.” Students from each grade level performed skits and had their art and schoolwork on display for attendees to view and learn about what the students studied. Cultural entertainment included Zumba dance lessons, a salsa-tasting contest, games, Argentine folklórico music and -flamenco dance performed by Natalia Perez del Villar, accompanied by Mark Herzog on guitar. t The students’ accomplishments are something to be proud of, said Spanish teacher Jennifer Garrett. The Spanish celebration was “their moment,” she said. “It gives me great pride my students get to learn about the different cultures.”
Siena Negrón points out her assigned country, Puerto Rico, on a map. Negrón, a third-grader, explained that each student was assigned a Spanish-speaking country to study, and students spent about three weeks researching information on their country. The research was then presented to attendees of SkyView Academy’s Spanish celebration on May 2. Photos by Christy Steadman
SkyView Academy students Dylan Bonds, 16, and Mikaela Malouf, 18, performed a dance routine at the school’s Spanish celebration May 2. Elementary through high school students gave a performance on stage that showcased Spanish-language skills or cultural studies they learned during the school year.
Argentine folklórico music was part of SkyView Academy’s Spanish celebration, which took place on May 2. Pictured is a child touching the bombo legüero, a traditional Argentine drum. Other instruments used in this type of music are the Spanish guitar, pictured to the right of the drummer, and voice.
A WELCOME VISIT
U.S. Rep. Mike Coffman (R-Aurora) visited Sand Creek Elementary School in Highlands Ranch on May 8. The sixth-grade students have been studying financial literacy this year and are competing in the Stock Market Game Challenge. Several of the students, who had prepared questions, engaged the congressman in a question-and-answer period. The students welcomed Coffman with a banner they made and presented him with a framed award to commemorate his visit. Courtesy photo

A Mother’s Day surprise
By Taryn Walker
Twalker@colorado communitymedia.com Synergy HomeCare of Denver donated flowers to be delivered by Daisy Girl Scouts Troop 3933 and Boy Scouts from Troop 461 on May 9 at Orchard Park Health Care in Centennial. Children ages 5 to 8 went room-to-room hand-delivering colorful carnations to residents for Mother’s Day. Patients had just wrapped up lunch and were surprised by the cheerful greeting, as the event was called “Mother’s Day Surprise.” Synergy representative Kim Paul said the thought of seniors not having family with them for the holiday made her think of the idea. She teamed up with Orchard Park activities
assistant Karen Faust to organize the event and it was a success, both said. “We want to make sure our local moms aren’t forgotten this year,” Paul said. In a release about the event, Paul wrote, “A health and retirement study found that loneliness and isolation can increase depression, stress and raise blood pressure, and lead to premature death.” Troops were elated to see welcoming faces as they entered rooms. One resident, Mary Claire Alkford, who was sitting near her window when she was given her carnation, had fun trying to guess the ages of some of the Girls Scout members. Troop members even prepared songs to sing before their delivery and practiced saying “Happy Mother’s Day” in their “quiet voices.”

Eight-year-old Boy Scout Eli Yetzer of Littleton giggles as he tries to pick out a song he’d like to sing while he delivers flowers to residents at Orchard Park Health Care in Centennial.

Here’s a best list I can get my beak around. Thrillist.com, the arbiter of all things “best” in Denver’s food world, has assembled a coop of 13 local eateries serving the best fried chicken, in the opinion C of the Thrillist hipsters. And although fried chicken heads upo my last meal wish list, I can’t say I have found a place yet that makes me wantB to scratch my way back over and overs again. Lou’s FoodBar, mentioned firstc on the Thrillist list comes closest, but I am willing to try out the rest of the top chick picks to find a fave. A Here’s what Thrillist said, “If goodw fried chicken were as easy to come byr as it is to describe, there’d be a lot few-1 er vegetarians in the world. When it’sr crunchy and well-seasoned on the out-f side yet tender and juicy on the inside, resistance is futile. But far too often,t the skin is doughy or dripping greaseA or peeling off like a nasty scab while thea meat is half-raw or dry and stringy. Thenl no one eats it, and everyone’s depressedm that a bird had to die for nothing, and the herbivores win.” a Fortunately, 13 places help preservew the integrity of the food chain by serv-S ing the best damn fried chicken in ands around Denver. h The list: Lou’s FoodBar, Sunnyside;w Welton Street Cafe, Five Points; Cora-p Faye’s Cafe, Park Hill; African Grill & Bar, Green Valley Ranch; The Asian Cajun,a Southwest Denver; Funny Plus, Aurora;n Jamaican Grill, Santa Fe Art District; t Kirk’s Soul Kitchen, Aurora; Jus Cookin’s h Restaurant, Lakewood; Jezebel’s Southern Bistro & Bar, LoHi; The BSide, Upc town; Block & Larder, Berkeley; The Post fi Brewing Co., Lafayette.

He served as a DJ, music director and director of the station’s radio training program. While possessed of wildly eclectic musical knowledge, Cary made his mark on behalf of the blues, the bedrock of most of America’s best popular music. He helped found KGNU’s stillrunning “Blues Legacy,” where he created the character of the Red Rooster, a music-loving hipster who spins the hottest and duskiest discs. In May 1985, Wolfson moved the program to 97.3 KBCO. Soon, the program was picked up by the Longhorn Radio Network, which distributed it to a small group of stations scattered around the country.

Colonial life examined in new graphic novel
By Sonya Ellingboe
sellingboe@colorado communitymedia.com
When editor Jason Rodriguez appears at Aspen Grove Tattered Cover on May 21, he will be introducing the first of a projected series of three graphic novels — geared for ages 10 and up — with wonderfully illustrated stories of people who lived in early New England from 1620 to 1750. These are not the governors and ministers we probably learned about in standard American history texts, but Jewish settlers, a female business owner, schoolteachers, livestock owners, whalers, abolitionists and more. Rodriguez started with the premise that all he learned about colonial New England was about Plimouth (Plymouth), Boston, Squanto the friendly Indian and the Pilgrims, something about witches … “130 years of history reduced to mainly nameless people who ate turkey and occasionally burned suspected witches.” “The country where I was born and raised, a country that was once inhabited by other nations, reduced to several cities, a single Native American, a group of people who weren’t happy in England and some charred bodies.” “But,” he writes, “that’s not this book.” He consulted with comics writers and artists, fiction and nonfiction authors, university professors and renowned historians. “Colonial Comics 1620 to 1750,” printed in late 2014 by Fulcrum Publishing in Golden, the first in a projected trilogy, offers 20 stories of people who were more than turkey aficionados, interacting with a collection of native people. That interaction sometimes involved the livestock the immigrants brought with them, which tended to trample the Indians’ farms. (The native people had not domesticated animals and didn’t understand about building fences, and were eventually pushed off their land.)
IF YOU GO Jason Rodriguez will give a book talk, followed by a Q&A, at 7 p.m. May 21 at Tattered Cover Aspen Grove, 7301 S. Santa Fe Drive, Littleton. 303-322-7727.
There’s a story about unconventional Roger Williams, forced out of the Massachusetts Bay Colony, who returned to England to ask Parliament for a charter for the Providence Plantations he wished to settle. Another example: With so many prominent women in today’s business world, readers may not realize that colonial women were not allowed to own or run a business. Elizabeth Glover, an educated woman who left England with her printer husband, children, indentured servants and a printing press, arrived in Massachusetts a widow. The Rev. Joseph Glover died during the long voyage. The Glovers had paid the passage of Steven Day and his sons, and Elizabeth arranged for them to assemble and operate the press, while she managed the business from behind. But she needed to find a husband. Harvard was closed and the demand for books was slim. They took on printing of the Bay Psalm book in a large number — the first book printed in America. By then Harvard reopened with a new president, Rev. Dunster, who meets and woos Elizabeth and ensures a secure future for her and her children. This chapter leads into the later women’s liberation movement and lots of topics for classroom discussion. “The Lost Tribe” tells of Jewish Mordecai Campanal and his kin, who escaped antiSemitism in England and founded America’s oldest synagogue. Newport, Rhode Island, is home to the first Jewish settlement. “Colonial Comics” was nominated for the “Great Graphic Novels for Teens List” by the Young Adult Library Services Association. If there’s a young reader in the house who is interested in history, this book may introduce a number of new paths to follow.
Creedence Clearwater Revisited will perform at 6:30 p.m. on May 31 at Hudson Gardens and Event Center, 6115 S. Santa Fe Drive, Littleton. Tickets are $34/$24/free under 4. They are available only from AltitudeTickets.com or 866-461-6556. As of May 6, the site stated only 46 tickets remain. If any are available on the day of show, they can be purchased at the Hudson Gardens Welcome Center. Information: 303-797-8565, ext. 321. Information is posted on the Hudson Gardens website regarding concert rules—such as only bottled water and plastic utensils with food brought in. No dogs, no cigarettes or marijuana, etc. (Food trucks and beverages will be available at the concert.)
With the new band, memories are created on the spot for someone who wasn’t there (in the past.) It’s a cool thing. No, I don’t get tired of playing the same music … “It’s a well-oiled machine,” he said of the band’s organization. The group usually travels by bus, unless the distance between shows is too great. “I love the bus. You know where everybody is. You can watch a movie or sleep … We usually eat dinner at the venue, have hot cereal on the bus with the microwave — plus some sort of protein. Lunch is at a ‘flip a coin buffet’ — good luck with that. We always have fresh fruit.” His body does get tired. When he’s playing, “all four limbs are going — I don’t really think about it.” He did have to have a shoulder repaired, but he’s ready to go for this season. “We used to do 100 shows,” he recalled.

Hudson Gardens’ 2015 summer concert season launches at 6:30 p.m. on May 31, and probably many in the audience will know every song performed by Creedence Clearwater Revisited. Original members of Creedence Clearwater Revival — a headliner at Woodstock in 1969 and discontinued in 1972 — Stu Cook and Doug “Cosmo” Clifford are the rhythm section on bass guitar and drums, while the lineup includes lead guitarist Kurt Griffey, lead singer/rhythm guitarist John Tristao and multi-instrumentalist Steve Gunner. Following their induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1995, Cook and Clifford, who have been friends since starting a band in high school, organized Creedence Clearwater Revisited. They are still performing 60 to 70 concerts a year, said Clifford. At 70, he wants time at home with his family, including five grandchildren. Clifford was reached on May 5 at his winter home in Scottsdale, Ariz., but said he was about to head northwest to his summer home in the Reno-Tahoe area. Clifford said he looks forward to coming to Colorado, and he praised Hudson Gardens as a nice venue where the band has performed before. The band uses a set song list — “Our name defines us: Credence Clearwater REVISITED,” he said. “Ninety percent of the audience doesn’t get it with new tracks — they start going for beer, or to get rid of beer. “Each song has its own identity and personality — we play for the memories it creates for you. Some go back 40 years.

First Fr i d ay is f abu l ous f irst Littleton event set for summer run, but could keep going
By Sonya Ellingboe
sellingboe@colorado communitymedia.com For a number of years, First Friday Art Walks have brought crowds to the Santa Fe Arts District and the Golden Triangle/Museum District, but Littleton’s art-related businesses had not organized to host customers on that night — until May 1. With promotional help from the City of Littleton, the Downtown Littleton Arts District launched its first art walk/open house event, with 11 locations participating throughout the area. A number of other businesses were also open. The plan is to hold the walk each first Friday through August at this point, encouraging visitors to stroll and perhaps dine, or stop for a glass of wine and a snack. The Depot Art Center on the east side of downtown had a steady stream of visitors for its newly hung Anniversary Show of members’ work. At the corner of Main and Prince streets, Colorado Frame and Savvy Stuff carries supplies for custom framing of paintings, prints, drawings or whatever one might want to display — plus artistic gift and décor items. Across the street at 5723 S. Prince St. is Kaleidoscope Design Studio, with jewelry, wall art, clothing, accessories and more. At Main and Prince, Helen Rice of Willow was awaiting the arrival of her talented featured artist of the evening, while customers wandered through her amazing stock of art and fine crafts. One continued north of Main on Prince Street to find the spacious Outnumbered Gallery at 5654, where a pianist played background music on a grand and lots of folks schmoozed and admired paintings, sculp-

the theater. To the west, a right turn on Curtice Street brings one to the Curtice Street Marketplace, which has a mix of original art and vintage merchandise, as well as supplies. It is housed in a Littleton Landmark historic house at 5650 S. Curtice. To the south of Main Street at 5739 S. Curtice is the chock-full Pottery Studio Gallery, where Kim Louise Glidden creates pottery and represents more than 50 other artists. Continuing south to 5789-A S. Curtice
is the recently opened Steve Adams Gallery of contemporary art. The show was “Heels, Wheels and Steel,” with work by Homer Wells, Mary Brevda and Adams. Around the corner at 2400 W. Alamo Ave. is Arapahoe Community College’s Art and Design Center, with a gallery and studios. All of these spots will again be open on June 5, July 3 and August 7 from 6 to 9 p.m. One hopes success will lead to a year-round continuation of first Fridays.

The Golden Eagles finally turned the tables on their nemesis on May 9, earning a 9-5 quarterfinal decision over the Warriors in a Class 5A lacrosse quarterfinal game at Legacy Stadium. Arapahoe, which has won three state titles, edged Mountain Vista 12-11 in last season’s quarterfinals, and the Warriors ousted the Golden Eagles in the first round of the 2013 playoffs by a score of 15-9. “Arapahoe is a great team, and they’ve always kind of been a thorn in our side the last two years,” said Vista coach Jake Herman. “We’d get up on them and all of a sudden they climb, scratch and claw back. That’s a testimony to how good their staff is, and those kids are resilient kids. It felt good to win. It was a year in the making after losing last year in the quarterfinals.” Warriors coach Guy Cerasoli noted that Vista played hard. “They were about due,” he said. “They
Mountain Vista’s Colin Munro, center, has Arapahoe’s Tanner Sparks, left, and Lou Sugo closing in but still manages to pass the ball. Munro led all scorers with four goals in the 5A quarterfinal as Mountain Vista won 9-5. Photo by Paul DiSalvo were playing with a chip on their shoulders, that’s for sure.” Key moments: Arapahoe, which trailed
4-1 at halftime, pulled to within 5-3 with 5:22 left in the third period, but Vista scored the next four goals to grab a six-goal lead.
Sophomore Colin Munro scored three of those four goals. “We have a lot of good talent on this team,” said Munro. “Against Arapahoe I stepped up. In other games Christian Barker stepped up or Bryan Hancock stepped up. Whoever is feeling it that day or has a matchup that day, we’re going to ride that person.” Key players/statistics: Munro had four goals, Barker three and Hancock two for the Eagles (16-1-0), who whipped Arapahoe 13-7 in the final game of the regular season Brian Wilson and Tanner Sparks each had two goals for the Warriors, which finished the season with a 10-6-0 record. This will be only the third time in the past nine seasons that an Arapahoe team will not be in the state semifinals. They said it: “We’re on a mission,” said Herman. “We knew this was a game we really needed to win to kind of make up for last year. You want to finish the year strong. We’re not done yet.” “We have made it to the semifinals every year that I’ve been here,” added Cerasoli. “I’m a little disappointed. It’s been kind of an underachieving year. We had the potential, but we just couldn’t put it together for some reason.” Going forward: Mountain Vista will probably again play with a chip on its shoulder for a semifinal match against Regis Jesuit on May 13. Vista’s only loss this season was a 13-7 setback to Regis.
Warriors fall to Grizzlies in second round
Arapahoe’s comeback falls short in girls lacrosse playoffs By Chase Ellis
cellis@coloradcommunitymedia.com Arapahoe, under the leadership of coach Stacey Birlson, put together a 12-3 regular season and was rewarded with a No. 5 seed in the CHSAA girls lacrosse state tournament. The Warriors received a first-round bye that meant the first game came in the second round, where they faced 12th-seeded ThunderRidge at Littleton Public Schools Stadium on May 8. The Grizzlies were no normal 12 seed as they ended the regular season with a matching 12-3 record, including being ranked seventh in the final regular season poll from CHSAANow.com. For comparison, Arapahoe was ranked fifth in that same poll. ThunderRidge proved it was better than its seed, registering a 13-9 victory. Arapahoe rebounded from allowing a goal in the opening 45 seconds to take a 4-3 lead with 12 minutes to play in the first half. Over the final 12 minutes, the Warriors were outscored 7-1 to go to halftime down
10-5. Coming out of halftime, the Warriors attacked early and often with Alexis Linhardt and Kienan Linhardt leading the way to two quick goals. Arapahoe was able to cut the ThunderRidge lead to 12-9 with just under three minutes to play before forcing the Grizzlies’ goalie into save after save as ThunderRidge weathered the storm to a win. Key moments: The Warriors rebounded from a five-goal halftime deficit with good offensive play early in the second half, but could not overcome the play of ThunderRidge goalie Jordan Moilanen. Key players/statistics: Kienan Linhardt finished with five goals and two assists and Alexis Linhardt finished with three goals. Kienan Linhardt finished the season as Arapahoe’s leader in points after scoring 45 goals and providing 28 assists for 73 points. Alexis Linhardt was right behind her twin sister with 49 goals and 18 assists for 67 points. After combining for 242 goals and 89 assists in four years of play for Arapahoe, the Linhardts will continue their lacrosse careers at the next level as they will con- Atlee Witt looks for an open teammate after beating a ThunderRidge defender.

Pirates’ girls soccer season ends Englewood loses to Windsor in first round of state playoffs By Tom Munds
tmunds@colorado communitymedia.com Englewood’s team fought a tough but losing battle against a very good opponent and miserable weather conditions on May 6 as the Pirates lost to Windsor 10-0 in the first round of the Class 4A state girls soccer playoffs. The game was delayed more than 45 minutes by lightning and a heavy thunderstorm. When it was declared safe to play, everything was soaking wet, there were water puddles on and off the field — and the rain, sometimes as a mist and other times as a downpour, returned and stayed around throughout the game. “You always want to make the playoffs and do well,” Pirates coach Chris Kavinsky said after the game. “The playoff format means one team goes home happy and the other team ends up disappointed. We are the disappointed team tonight.” Key moments: Windsor came out focused and scored two goals in the opening minutes of the first period and led 5-0 at halftime. They scored two quick goals at the start of the second half. Englewood played tough defense, but the Wizards controlled the tempo of play, so the Pirates only could

Teammates Molly Ostrowski (15) and Dominique Daughtry (4) stand ready to help as Englewood’s Julia Kline (16) pushes the ball up the field against a Windsor defender during the May 6 state Class 4 soccer playoff game. The Pirates got off a shot at the goal but the Wizards won the game, 10-0. Photo by Tom Munds get off shots at the goal on a few occasions. The Wizard’s 10th goal came with about 17 minutes to play, but the rules say a 10-goal difference ends the game. Kavinsky said it took his team a while to get used to the weather conditions. He said the wet field was slick and there was consistent rain. Kavinsky said those elements, plus his team’s inability to match the Wizards’ speed up front, made it a tough night for the Pirates. “Both teams play in the same condi-
tions, but tonight it seemed the adverse conditions were a plus to their style of play,” the coach said. Sophomore Sydney Gonzales said the rain and field conditions created challenges to playing soccer. “The field was slippery and the puddles of water on the field either stopped the ball from rolling or slowed it down so it was hard to time passes,” she said, wiping away some tears. “We wanted to win tonight to prove our team deserved to be in the playoffs.

5A Southern Regional - Cherry Creek 1st - Cherry Creek held on for a one-stroke victory over Legend on May 4 at the 5A Southern Regional. Stephanie Bang carded an 8-over-par 80 to finish in second place, three shots back of the top individual finish. Molly Lucas finished in fifth place to help the Bruins to the win. 5A Central Regional - Heritage - 2nd - The Eagles finished in second place, 10 stroke back, at the 5A Central Regional on May 4. Delaney Benson carded the low round for Heritage with a 5-over-par 77 with Joanna Kempton right behind her after carding a 78. Benson finished fourth and Kempton fifth in the individual standings. Kendra George
made it three top-10 finishes for Heritage finishing 10th after a round of 83. 5A Northern Regional - Arapahoe - 3rd Piper Koy finished in sixth place and Gabby Membel came in 15th as Arapahoe took a third-place finish at the 5A Northern Regional on May 4. Koy carded an 11-over-par 81 in the tournament. 4A Metro-West Regional - Littleton - 15th - Madi Gore finished in 21st place for Littleton’s best individual finish at the 4A MetroWest Regional on May 4.

eryone tried hard but we couldn’t get anything going tonight. It was disappointing, but I am ready to come back next season, because tonight showed us what we need to do to be a team that wins games in the playoffs.” Key players/statistics: The Pirates are a young team with three seniors, Dominique Daughtry, Julia Kline and Maddie Smith. “Everyone’s dream is to go to state in her senior year and that didn’t happen for us,” senior Kline said after the game. “Making the playoffs is good, but the dream is to be playing on the field in the finals for that championship trophy.” Kline wiped away some tears and said she is proud of the team and the way the girls responded to overcome a slow start to the season. She smiled through the tears and said she was proud of how all the hard work got the Pirates to the playoffs for the second straight year. They said it: “It is the nature of high school sports that you have players graduate every year,” the coach said. “Three very good players are graduating this year so we have holes to fill. The good news is a strong foundation of returning varsity veterans, plus we expect we’ll have a good group of freshmen joining us next season. I feel a lot of good thing are happening as we work to build the Englewood girls soccer program into a force that can compete and win against all those quality soccer teams in Class 4A.” Coffman was part of three wins as he helped Cherry Creek to the Centennial A League Championship on May 9. Coffman won the 100 Free and 200 Free and teamed with JJ Strain, John Cremer, and Hunter Fuqua to take a win in the 400 Free Relay. Griffin Eiber won the 200 Individual Medley and 500 Free for Arapahoe. Alan LeBlang added a win in the One-Meter and Ben Dufauchard won the 100 Breast for the Warriors. 4A Jeffco League - Littleton - 8th - Adam Tinucci finished third in the 200 free and sixth in the 100 Fly for Littleton on May 8 at the 4A Jeffco League in Arvada. The 200 Free Relay team finished fourth and the 200 Medley Relay team finished fifth.

Arc marks anniversary
Organization grows to meet expanding needs of clients By Clarke Reader
creader@colorado communitymedia.com When it came time for Lloyd Lewis, president and CEO of Arc Thrift Stores, to celebrate his first decade with the organization, there was no doubt about whom he wanted to celebrate with — the more than 200 Arc Ambassadors (employees with disabilities) the company has hired in his tenure. “They are party people — I take it as a good sign the conga line started within an hour,” he said. “When I started here, we only had about 10 employees with disabilities — adding so many more has been embraced throughout the entire company.” Arc Thrift Stores, which is headquartered in Lakewood, has grown by leaps and bounds in the past 10 years, and the company has had to grow and change to provide services desperately needed by those with intellectual and developmental disabilities. “We enacted better business practices and emphasized our mission,” Lewis said. The company’s mission maintains a dedication to “creating and funding programs that serve those individuals living with intellectual/developmental disabilities, with complex and evolving needs.” Arc addresses those needs through its operation of 22 thrift stores and 15 donation sites throughout the state. The stores provide funding to Arc Chapter, which in turn provides advocacy for the organization’s clients. Lewis said the company aims to add at least one or two new shops per year, and has hopes to keep up its hiring streak. When he started, Arc had around 500 employees, and now it’s around 1,400. “The needs of people with disabilities are almost endless. We have advocates to work
ARC MILESTONES Arc Chapters across Colorado collected almost $20 million in cumulative funding in the 10 years prior to Lewis’ tenure. That figure has grown to over $50 million in cumulative funding in the last 10 years during his tenure. Increased the number of retail stores nearly 35 percent by the end of 2015 employing over 1,300 people across the Front Range. Funded millions to various nationwide charities and Front Range charities including Arc Chapters, Vehicles for Charity participants, employment of individuals with disabilities, vouchers for victims of disaster relief, and more than 1,000 tons of food donated to Volunteers of America.
To celebrate 10 years under president and CEO Lloyd Lewis, Arc employees and clients had a big party to commemorate the gains made on behalf of disabled people in Colorado. Photos courtesy of Arc Thrift Stores
For more information, visit www. arcthrift.org. with people, but we need more,” Lewis said. “About 80 percent of people with developmental disabilities are unemployed.” To provide the services for their ever-increasing number of clients, it’s key to work with other organizations. Arc works with national organizations like Volunteers of America and local groups like the Arvada Center, Arvada Community Food Bank and City of Lakewood. Their projects range from community-based efforts, like the Arvada Community Food Bank providing clothing vouchers for Arc clients applying to jobs, to national efforts like their vehicle donation program. Stephanie Landree, director of business development for Arc, said the vehicle donation program helps several nonprofits by letting Arc handle all of the work leading up to getting the vehicle sold. The proceeds are then split between Arc and the donating group.
In the 10 years under president and CEO Lloyd Lewis, Arc has increased the number of Arc Ambassadors from around 10 to more than 200. “It’s an example of one nonprofit helping another,” Landree said. “We’re one of the few remaining true nonprofits.” While Arc has hit some pretty major milestones under Lewis’ watch, the nonprofit is

SALOME’S STARS FOR RELEASE WEEK OF MAY 11, 2015
ARIES (March 21 to April 19) A seemingly stalled romantic situation could benefit from your reassurance that you want this relationship to work. And if you do, use a tad more of that irresistible Aries charm. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Going to new places and meeting new people appeals to both the Taurean’s romantic and practical sides. After all, you never can tell where those new contacts can take you. Right? GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) That career-change opportunity that didn’t work out when you first considered it could come up again. But this time, remember that you have more to offer and should act accordingly.

GALLERY OF GAMES
CANCER (June 21 to July 22) There could be some tensions in relationships -- domestic or workaday. But a calm approach that doesn’t raise the anger levels and a frank discussion soon will resolve the problem. LEO (July 23 to August 22) It’s a good idea to begin preparing for that career change you’ve been thinking about for a while. Start to sharpen your skills and expand your background to be ready when it calls. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Bless that Virgo skepticism that has kept you from falling into traps others seem to rush into. But you might want to give a new possibility the benefit of the doubt, at least on a trial basis. LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Travel and career are strong in your aspect. Perhaps your job will take you to someplace exotic. Or you might be setting up meetings with potential clients or employers. Whatever it is, good luck. SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Someone might use deception to try to push you into making a decision you’re not fully comfortable with. But those keen Scorpio senses should keep you alert to any such attempt. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Romance dominates this week when Cupid spears the Archer, for a change. Positive things also are happening in the workplace. Expect important news to arrive by the week’s end. CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Anyone trying to bully the Sea Goat -- whether it involves a personal or a professional matter -- will learn a painful lesson. Others also will benefit from the Goat’s strong example. AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Congratulations. With things going the way they are, you should be able to spare some time and take a break from your hectic schedule for some well-earned fun and games. PISCES (February 19 to March 21) Your sharp Piscean intuition should be able to uncover the true agendas of those who might be trying to catch the Fish in one of their schemes. BORN THIS WEEK: Your flair for innovative art and design keeps you at least a step ahead of most everyone else. © 2015 King Features Synd., Inc.
