WALKING WITH A PURPOSE

Proposal would allow personal growing in unincorporated commercial areas of Arapahoe By Jennifer Smith

jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com

Some participants in the NAMI Walk on May 17 at Centennial Center Park brought the little ones along for a stroll. About 1,000 people walked for a cause at Centennial Center Park on May 17. The 2014 Colorado NAMI Walk raised more than $150,000 to help raise awareness and fight stigma about mental illness. The National Alliance on Mental Illness holds similar events throughout the country. The purpose of the walk is to show “you are not alone in dealing with mental illness,” said NAMI Colorado executive director Scott Glaser. The walking course of roughly a mile was traversed by men, women, children and dogs, and some opted to go around more than once on the sunny, 70-degree morning.

Class 5A baseball’s final four all set Staff report As the only unbeaten team thus far in the Class 5A double elimination tournament, Rocky Mountain is assured of still being in state title contention May 24 even if they stumble May 23 against Cherry Creek. Creek will face the Lobos in a noon elimination game for the Bruins May 23 at All-City Stadium. Mountain Vista and Regis Jesuit, meanwhile, will clash in another elimination contest at 2:30 p.m. May 23 at All-City. The Bruins left 12 runners on base in an 8-4 loss to Chatfield May 16 but rebounded with a 6-3 victory over Chaparral and a 7-6 conquest of ThunderRidge May 17 to advance to the Final Four. Grant Farrell went 7-for-

11 in the three games to pace Creek. Vista got four-hit pitching performances from Will Dixon and Nick Leonard in 4-0 and 7-1 wins over Chaparral and Chatfield, respectively. However, the Golden Eagles surrendered eight runs in the top of the seventh in a May 17 game against Rocky Mountain and dropped a 17-7 decision. Defending Class 5A state champions ThunderRidge couldn’t revive the playoff magic it displayed last year despite a late flurry in its first outing. The Grizzlies scored eight runs in the top of the eighth inning May 16 in a 10-2 win over Fairview but then lost 5-4 to Rocky Mountain later in the day and were eliminated, 7-6, by Creek on May 17. Chaparral collected a total of eight hits in its losses to

In the Class 4A double elimination tournament, Valor Christian was ousted after a 4-2 setback to Wheat Ridge and a 9-8 loss to Longmont May 17.

Lutheran defeated Center 11-6 in the Class 2A single elimination tournament in Pueblo May 17 but was eliminated later after a narrow 3-2 defeat to Sedgwick County.

Centennial City Council is not only surprised by a proposed amendment to the Arapahoe County marijuana code, it has unanimously passed a resolution against it. “I really have a strong feeling against one government telling another government what to do, but in this case, I’m willing to make an exception,” said Councilmember Vorry Moon during a May 12 study session. During that meeting, the council directed staff to craft the resolution, which outlines its opposition to a proposal making its way through the review process in Arapahoe County. It would allow commercial property owners in unincorporated agricultural areas to lease indoor space to people who could use it to grow marijuana for medicinal purposes for personal consumption. “The intent is to get marijuana growing out of urban areas and into a more suitable environment,” Ron Carl, Arapahoe County attorney, said on May 20. It places no limits on how many people could rent space, and councilmembers envision a sort of community garden for pot. “It’s like a doggie day care for your pot plants,” said Mayor Cathy Noon. “Somebody is always one step ahead of whatever regulation you have.” Carl said he doesn’t envision that type of business model, and stresses that each application would have to be approved by the county commissioners. The resolution passed by council during its May 19 meeting, has no legal sway, it is simply the strongest opposition council can voice. “Basically what I think this says is, `You guys ought to be ashamed of yourselves,’ ” said Councilmember Doris Truhlar. “Generally you don’t want to meddle in other governments, but this is crappy. This is in our back yard.” Andy Firestine, deputy director of the city’s community-development department, says such establishments could arise in the Dove Valley area, creating a potential land-use conflict should annexation into Centennial ever be a possibility. He also notes that because the pot would be for personal use, there are no state regulations on its production. Carl said he can’t imagine the commissioners approving a plan that would create problems for a neighborhood, and noted the amendment prohibits the use within 1,000 feet of residential areas, schools, parks and churches. It also specifically bans marijuana clubs, where people might congregate to partake, which the county’s ban did not specifically do before. The county’s planning board was slated to hear about the proposal at its May 20 study session. Its public hearing is set for June 3, then the commissioners will hold theirs on June 24.

Event to mark D-Day anniversary the Greatest Generation,” said Joe Leber, past commander of Pat Hannon VFW Post commander. “We want anyone who served in any capacity during World War II to join us. That includes those who were on the American home front as well as those were overseas.” Leber, patriotic chairman for the VFW post, said VFW 4666 and American Legion 103 have collaborated to hold ceremonies on anniversaries of several key World War II dates such as Pearl Harbor. Their first ceremony for D-Day marked the 60th anniversary on June 6, 2004. “A member of our post, John Pellegren was drafted at 18 and he was 19 when his unit landed on Omaha Beach at 19,” Leber said. “John’s group was credited with knocking out the last pillbox, a fortified gun emplacement, to help open up the beach. A plaque recognizing his unit’s accomplishment is on the memorial on Omaha Beach.” Pellegren and quite a few other World War II veterans came to the 2004 event, Leber said. The anniversary ceremony marks the 70th anniversary of the allied invasion of

Hundreds trained in suicide prevention at ACC Stepping up for our Communities event puts mental health in focus By Jennifer Smith

jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com “The first time I tried to kill myself, I was 11,” Casey McAndrew told the audience during the Stepping up for our Communities event at Arapahoe Community College on May 14. Today McAndrew is a member of the Children’s Hospital Colorado Youth Board, advocating for teens like her who are battling depression and other forms of mental illness. She ultimately got help by reaching out to her family and voluntarily admitting herself into a residential treatment program. “What’s so wrong about going there if that’s the only thing that will keep you from killing yourself?” she asked. “Fortunately for me, I had a strong enough relationship with my family and my friends that I was able to ask for help. But I know that not everybody does. There are people who, because they were scared, they killed themselves, and that should not be an option. About a year ago a friend told me that because of my depression, I was too broken for anyone to love me. Three hundred and sixty-four days later, I stand on this stage

strong and alive. Thank you.” Organizers of the daylong event stressed that it was a day about hope, not despair. “We’re inundated by tragedy,” said Brian Turner of Mental Health First Aid Colorado. “It’s hard to not get angry and feel negative every day, and forget about all the good work going on out there. Today is about hope. Today is about feeling empowered.” Then Turner sent the 300 attendees into breakout sessions to learn Mental Health First Aid, which teaches practical methods of dealing with a friend or loved who is exhibiting danger signs. “If we can talk about it, we can deal with it,” said Sally Spencer-Thomas, who founded the Spencer J. Carson Foundation after her brother killed himself. “As long as we treat it like a mystery, people are fearful.” Suicide is the most common cause of death for 18- to 34-year-olds in Colorado, said Rep. Tracy Kraft-Tharp, D-Arvada, who supports expanding the definition of people who can be involuntarily committed for mental-health treatment. Five such young people were honored during the event for their submissions to the Federation of Families for Children’s Mental Health. Cheyenne Jamerson wrote that her depression feels like your shoes are dragging you through the day. “If you are stuck in gray, I hope you find your rainbow,” she wrote.

Another, Angie Carlie, said her depression spiraled out of control when her peers began making fun of her because her skin was a different color than the parents who adopted her. “I live in my shadow’s presence,” she wrote. “I am not me anymore, I am death walking on two feet.” Since being diagnosed, Sandy Cohn’s perception of her illness has changed. In the beginning, she said, “I imagined it’s a lot like expired food, damaged goods, not all there.”

Search for Colorado Community Media.

But after treatment replaced her selfmedicating methods, she says she’s adapted to the downs and learned that the ups are what matters. “I see it more as a gift from the lessons I was forced to learn,” she wrote. “One day everyone will know my name for immensely changing the world.” For more information on mental illness or Mental Health First Aid, visit www.admhn.org or www.nami.org.

sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia.com The Charlie Daniels Volunteer Jam first took place on Oct. 4, 1974, in Nashville. Daniels, who has since been inducted into the Musicians Hall of Fame, invited other musical stars to play with him at the War Memorial Auditorium. Since then, the Volunteer Jam has taken place at various venues throughout the nation, with artists including Willie Nelson, Garth Brooks, Billy Joel, James Brown and the Allman Brothers. May 24, 2014, will be the first time the Volunteer Jam has taken place at Fiddler’s Green Amphitheatre, and Daniels will be joined by The Outlaws, BlackHawk and Craig Campbell in a concert to honor members of the military, the American Red Cross and first responders. Complimentary tickets will be made available to members of the military, Red Cross volunteers and first responders through their organizations, according to Chuck Morris, president and CEO of AEG Live Rocky Mountains, which will be operating and booking Fiddler’s Green in a 15-year partnership agreement with the venue owner, Museum Outdoor Arts, or MOA. Members of the Colorado National Guard and others will enjoy an evening of entertainment. Some general admission tickets remain for the public. An extensive remodel of Fiddler’s Green has been underway and will be enhanced in June by a living wall of plants that thrive in this climate — watered from the detention pond in adjacent Samson Park, which is also an MOA venue with a number of artworks.

Burnham says goodbye to SMHO Jo Hamit takes over as interim housing director By Jennifer Smith

jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com Dozens of well-wishers stopped by The Inn at Hudson Gardens May 15 to send South Metro Housing Options Executive Director Dan Burnham into retirement in style. “Dan is leaving under happy circumstances and leaving a great legacy, and there’s something to be said for that,” said local Realtor Stew Meagher, chair of the SMHO board. Libby Bortz, a founding member of the SMHO board, and Charlie Blosten, the city of Littleton’s director of public works, spent some time at the party reminiscing about the origins of the housing authority. They and others worked together starting in 1970 to convince the local government that there was a need for such an entity, that there really were low-income folks in the city who could benefit. Bortz, for whom the Libby Bortz Assisted Living Facility in downtown Littleton is named, said Burnham stayed true to their

original goal. “Dan has so much patience and appreciation for the diverse pool of people that we deal with,” she said. “He’s very cool under some very severe pressure.” Blosten said Burnham is one of the nicest people he’s worked with in his capacity with the city, and Rebecca Thompson, the city’s senior code specialist, agreed. “He always has a smile on his face, and he’s always upbeat,” she said. “We love working with him.” His predecessor, Dawn Shepherd, said she never doubted his ability to serve the agency, not when she hired him in 1979 as a project coordinator or when she retired. “I worked with him for 22 years, and there was never a day I didn’t look forward to going to work with him,” she said. “He was the heir apparent as far as I was concerned.” The reception capped off Burnham’s last day. Though he announced he was leaving in January, he wanted to stay long enough to see the Powers Circle Apartments fully leased, a public/private partnership that now has 69 fully renovated affordable-housing units. He also recently enjoyed the grand-opening celebration of the newly expanded community

I’m leaving it in good hands. It’s time to

go to the next step. For now, I’m just going to go have fun.” As of Monday, assistant director Jo Hamit will begin serving as SMHO’s interim director.

Creating a life that’s lovable Country recording artist Clay Walker’s song, “If I Could Make a Living Out of Loving You,” is an awesome reminder to think about what it is that we do each and every day. Whether it’s personally or professionally, we should be striving to do what we love and love what we do. The full verse from his song goes like this: “If I could make a livin’ out of lovin’ you, I’d be a millionaire in a week or two, I’d be doing what I love and lovin’ what I do, if I could make a livin’ out of lovin’ you.” One of my favorite conversations to have with someone is when they share their passion for what they do for a living, for themselves, for their family, or even recreation and fun. You can absolutely tell when someone is doing what they love and loving what they do

through their body language, tonality of what they are saying and the colorful or powerful words that they actually use while sharing life’s exciting moments. Purpose is so meaningful and passion is so very powerful. My other favorite conversation or discussion to have with someone is when they are

Whether you are an adult or a child, South Suburban Parks and Recreation wants you to learn how to swim this summer. Although the activity is very popular all over the world, there are still many people who cannot swim. Learning to swim is necessary for everyone, because swimming can greatly increase your safety in and around water, improve your health, provide a sense of accomplishment, and bring you endless fun. Drowning is the second most common cause of death among children under 18 years old. Drowning occurs not only when children don’t know how to swim, but also when adults around them don’t know how. Learning to swim provides a sense of accomplishment because it involves a number of stepping stones that must be mastered successfully in order to become

an adequate swimmer. Learning to swim builds confidence with each step. Swimming is also an excellent and popular form of exercise. It helps you build strong muscles and bones, maintain flexibility, and it aids with weight control. Swimming is a life-long sport that can be enjoyed well into the golden years. Everyone knows summer is about fun. Knowing how to swim enables children to join their peers in the water and helps them make friends more easily, and may provide an extra boost in their social skills. Don’t hesitate to find group or individual lessons. The sooner swimming becomes second nature, the sooner our community will be safer and healthier. JoAnn N. Gould, Director of Recreation and Community Services South Suburban Park and Recreation District

Marijuana? Sorry, that’s not my bag I wonder how many of my columns have started with the word “I.” I resolved to do something about it, but here I go again. It would be too odd if I referred to myself in the third person, wouldn’t it? Or if I substituted my first or last name, and wrote something like this: “Smith wondered how many columns he started with the word `I.’” A bit stilted, huh? I have an opinion about almost everything. I am useless in science, business and technology, so I stay out of those areas. I also try to avoid topics that I have limited familiarity with, like health care and marijuana. I went to college in the 1960s, and you might think that I would have some kind of bachelor’s degree in drugs. I don’t. I could have, because they were all around me. I was sitting on my front porch one evening, and a hippie walked up and opened his hand. Pills. I’m not sure what they were. “Here. Free,” he said. “No thank you,” I said. I didn’t start to drink until I was 30. That’s not a typo. By the time I was 30, I might have had three beers, a couple of glasses of wine, and that’s all. Marijuana was everywhere, but I wasn’t interested. I’m still not. So I haven’t written about it before. I don’t know what I am talking about. Tell me who is willing to admit that? I have read a couple of disturbing stories recently that made me think that I need to do some research and form a tangible opinion. A college kid consumed an entire pot cookie and fell to his death. A father of three ate some pot edibles, and shot his wife in the head while she was on the phone with 911. When Colorado passed the marijuana amendment I knew there would be abuse, because there always is. Have you ever had a margarita? And nothing happened? Nothing seemed to

that will lead them to a different way of thinking. You see, it’s not about the title we hold or the job we have, and it’s not about our lives compared to the lives of others. It comes down to how we feel about OUR productivity, OUR effort, OUR enjoyment, and OUR attitude that matters. Let me share an example with you. Years ago when I was visiting a customer on a very regular basis, I could not help but notice how immaculately clean their building was. There was never a piece of paper on the floor, never any dust on the objects or plants in the lobby, and their floors always shined brilliantly as if the fresh coat of Norton continues on Page 7

A productive, yet odd session

not doing what they love and loving what they do. They share stories of discontent, misery, and just plain old unhappiness. They could be unhappy with their job, their family life, and they have not found any time or anything to do that gets where excitement, purpose, or passion would have an opportunity to take root in their lives. Now in the first group, it’s both fun and energizing for me to have conversations with people who share their enthusiasm with such joy. Sometimes their enthusiasm and passion become contagious and I find myself re-energized to pursue my own purpose and passions with even more zeal. The second group is really no different because it provides me with an opportunity to help them self-discover behaviors and attitudes

Fresh out of the legislative session, we’re busy with wrap-up town halls, Capitol office completions, and bill signings. Overall, we produced a little over 400 bills being signed into law, 96 percent of them with bipartisan support this year. With floods of biblical proportions, devastating wildfires, and the onset of recreational marijuana in Colorado last year, it was incumbent upon us in this session to take action to help those in recovery and regulate responsibly. Collectively, it seemed to be a session of civility, thankfully. Yet, in my sixth session down there, I noticed some things were just not usual. For instance, both Republicans and Democrats were sometimes voting with each other, but not together within their own caucus. We saw some odd teams of bill sponsors that would normally be in opposition with each other. Then, other bills that would be usual shoe-ins ended up being on the brink; like the licensure of dentists, which almost died in committee. As for my legislation this session, there were some great successes and some odd upsets. Below, are more of my successful bills not yet covered in my previous columns.

At my age, a relapse is unbearable. I used to be able to get up the next day and go. Now it would take three days to recover from a three-day relapse. I don’t want to become cross-addicted. To have quit drinking, and then to find my Hunter S. Thompson in marijuana. For some reason, and this is almost shameful, I think about Cheech and Chong whenever I think about dope. And what I think about Cheech and Chong is that they made some of the worst movies ever made, man. The word “man” has never been scripted so often. Along with “dude.” When I was drinking, my vocabulary did change, but it never went to casual addresses, like calling my neighbor’s wife “man.” How many of us, by percentage, are high at any given moment? It’s halfway understandable, if you read the news. Living every day, as great as it is, is full of physical and philosophical and emotional obstacles and calamities.

Memorial Day events scheduled Ceremonies around area honor fallen veterans By Tom Munds

tmunds@colorado communitymedia.com Local events marking Memorial Day include the May 24 parade in downtown Denver, two ceremonies in Littleton and one at Fort Logan National Cemetery. The tradition that established the Memorial Day events calls for honoring “all veterans laid to rest in this sacred national cemetery, to all the prisoners of war and those missing in action who never returned, to all who have served and those who, even now, guard the gates of freedom worldwide.” Denver’s annual Memorial Day parade traditionally includes marching units from the military services and floats that often include groups of veterans. The parade steps off at 9 a.m. and winds through the downtown area. On May 26, Littleton’s first Memorial Day ceremony of the day starts at 8 a.m. in the Veterans Circle located in the Littleton Cemetery at 6155 S. Prince St. A second, mirror-image service will be held at 10 a.m. at the Littleton World War II Memorial in Ketring Park, 6000 S. Gallup St. Both ceremonies in Littleton, sponsored by the Pat Hannon Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 4666 and the George C. Evans American Legion Post 103, follow the same program, with the El Jebel Pipe Band playing “Amazing Grace” and the All Veterans Honor Guard

wax was just applied. One day as I waited in the lobby for my meeting, I met the man who was responsible for the appearance of the building. He was in his janitorial coveralls, working with precision detail as he worked his broom and dust rag. I decided to have a conversation with him and started by thanking him for the way he made the building look. I shared with him that I believed that the employees and visitors alike must surely feel a sense of pride when they come in because the place was sparkling clean all the time. With a huge smile and warm handshake the man thanked me and told me he had been employed by the company for the past 10 years. And he shared that most people that worked there often thanked him and commented on his ability to make the place shine. When I asked if he liked his job, he smiled again and replied in an instant with, “Man, I love my job and I am grateful for my job.”

Patrick Hannon, the first Littleton resident to die in the Vietnam War. There will also be a reading of a poem written by fallen Navy SEAL Danny Dietz. At 11 a.m. there will be a ceremony near the lake at Fort Logan National Cemetery, 3698 S. Sheridan Blvd. The ceremony is sponsored by the Associated Veterans of Colorado. Featured speakers include Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper, and keynote speakers include Democratic U.S. Sen. Mark Udall; Maj. Gen H. Michael Edwards, adjutant general of the Colorado Air National Guard; and Robert L. Jesse, principal undersecretary of the Veterans Affairs Health Department. As part of the ceremonies, a group representing the Veterans of Foreign Wars Ladies Auxiliary, the American Legion Auxiliary, the Retired Enlisted Association Auxiliary and the Gold Star Wives will place a ceremonial wreath at a symbolic grave marker, the honor guard will raise their rifles and fire the 21-gun salute and the bugle will play “Taps,” sending the echo across the rows and rows of gleaming white markers standing in arrow-straight rows. In case the weather is bad, the services will be held at Verle Huffman VFW Post 9644 at 2680 W. Hampden Ave. in Sheridan. After the Fort Logan ceremonies, VFW Post 9644 and its Ladies Auxiliary will host a luncheon at the facility, two blocks east of Federal Boulevard on Hampden Avenue.

I have met ski instructors, CEOs, nurses, shoeshine vendors, pizza makers, teachers, police officers, firemen, salespeople, accountants, massage therapists, personal trainers, retailers, business owners and people from all walks of life who do what they love and love what they do. And I have met others who do something they hate and hate what they do — that is, until we have had a chance to have a conversation where we can focus on purpose, passion, gratitude and attitude. Now I can never say that I have a 100 percent success rate when having these conversations, but even if one out of 100 had some level of self-discovery and started to do what they love and love what they do personally or professionally, I consider that my purpose and I am extremely passionate about it.

After World War I, Decoration Day became an official holiday and later, the name was changed to Memorial Day. In 1971, Congress passed the holiday act that, among other things, made Memorial Day the last Monday in May.

Coffman touts his background in military, business Republican wants to keep CD-6 House seat

‘I’m the only member of the Colorado

By Jennifer Smith

jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com As U.S. Rep. Mike Coffman lobbies to keep his 6th Congressional District seat for the Republicans, he’s not too worried about the new kid on the block. “Coming from Aurora, I certainly have a background that is more reflective of the community,” he said during a May 17 interview at Bemis Library in Littleton. “He moved into the district not because he wanted to live there, but because he wanted to live in Washington, D.C.” He’s talking about Democratic challenger Andrew Romanoff, new to the district but not to politics. He served in the state House Coffman from 2000-08, as speaker from 2005 on. In 2010, he launched an unsuccessful bid to unseat fellow Democrat U.S. Sen. Michael Bennet. Coffman says that’s no replacement for real-world experience like his, including 17 years as an Aurora business owner and a military career that started in 1972. In 2005, he resigned his post as Colorado’s secretary of state to serve a tour with the U.S. Marines in Iraq. “I’m the only member of the Colorado delegation who served in the military during the Persian Gulf War and Iraq,” he said. He says that makes him uniquely qualified in his role as the chair of the Veterans Affairs Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations, currently looking into the wait-list scandal as whistleblowers emerge around the country. “I think (VA Secretary Eric Shinseki) should step down or be fired, along with the senior bureaucrats that surrounded him,” said Coffman. “. … At first he denied problems, then, in my view, looked the other way and defended those who were responsible. He’s never said heads are going to roll if this is true.” Coffman points to the VA House Committee as a bastion of bipartisanship. “It’s not a Republican issue or a Democrat issue,” he said. “I really feel they all equally care about meeting our obligations to our veterans. I don’t see any daylight between us.” At one time, Coffman was perhaps most famous for being the owner of Buckley the Treasury Dog, his golden retriever that continued to visit the state Capitol even after Coffman left the office of state treasurer. Buckley died two years ago at the age of 10. But his new goldie, named Atty, livens up the home Coffman shares with his wife, Cynthia. Currently the chief deputy attorney general of Colorado, Cynthia Coffman is a Republican candidate for attorney general. Here are Mke Coffman’s quick takes on a variety of topics:

The economy In Colorado, relaxing regulations impeding the aerospace industry is one key to a robust economy, said Coffman. He’s working with Bennet on legislation that they hope will help American aerospace companies export their products and technologies to international customers while still protecting national security interests. Encouraging more manufacturing is another of his priorities, and he joined the Rare Earth Caucus in an effort to make that happen. The group worked to convince the World Trade Organization that China is violating WTO rules by restricting export of metals commonly used to make parts for electronics. “I think free trade is important, but it also has to be fair trade,” said Coffman.

Mental health Coffman would like to see a residential center for the homeless created at the Anschutz Medical Center in Aurora, with an emphasis on mental health. Along with Sen. Mark Udall, D-Colo., he launched a task force to study ways to better serve veterans with post-traumatic stress disorder. “As a nation, we’ve really fallen short on mental-health care,” said Coffman. “I think it has to be a priority, and it’s not just funding, it’s reforming the current system.” He says he’s also working with the African immigrant community to create a connection with the Aurora Mental Health Center. “I want to make sure they get some services that understand their culture,” he said.

Military funding “I think I’ve been fairly independent on that, especially because I think Republicans have the same problem that they accuse Democrats of on this. The important metric is the outcome, not how much you spend. I think that there is a lot of waste at the Pentagon. I think we can reduce spending without compromising security.”

Obamacare “I think health-insurance reform, health-care reform, is very important,” he said. I think there’s no question the system was flawed. But what I disagree with is upending the entire system to fix the parts that were broken.” He notes that when he was in the state Legislature, he supported laws that prohibited discrimination based on gender or preexisting conditions, and he supported insurance portability and spreading out the risk to a larger pool. “But I think we can do better,” he said. “I would support repeal and replace.”

Fracking “I think there’s been a resurgence in manufacturing jobs due to low-energy costs, which is primarily due to fracking,” said Coffman. He says safety regulations are imperative, but he trusts the states to be better able to create appropriate measures than the federal government. “The citizens have much greater access at the state level than they do to the Environmental Protection Agency,” he said.

Personhood While there’s been some debate over Coffman’s support of the “personhood” amendment that will appear on Colorado’s 2014 ballot, he says it’s overbroad. He notes his support of a ban on federal funding of abortion except for in the case of rape or incest or when the life of the mother is in danger, and says he’s opposed to all abortions after 20 weeks with the same exceptions. “I’m clearly pro-life,” he said. “I would not vote for it the way it is, and I think there are unintended consequences to it.”

Arapahoe senior named ‘Outstanding Youth’ Lone Tree teenager plans to major in business at CSU By Jane Reuter

jreuter@colorado communitymedia.com What some may view as a summer job, Bobby Moore has grown into a link to the future. Moore, recently selected as the 2014 Outstanding Youth of Lone Tree, runs a thriving lawn-mowing business that’s sealed his desire to pursue a business degree. He plans to major in business at Colorado State University in Fort Collins. His selection as the city’s Outstanding Youth, which comes with a $500 award, is based on Moore’s academic, athletic and entrepreneurial accomplishments. The Arapahoe High School senior lives with his brother, Jack, and parents John and Judy Moore in Heritage Hills. But given his busy schedule, he’s

not home often. Moore volunteers with the Unified Basketball Team, a team associated with Special Olympics. He also recently became a WyldLife leader through YoungLife Ministries, a role that includes mentoring middleschool students. He’s also a member of National Honor Society, National Business Honor Society, Future Business Leaders of America and Link Crew. Moore As a Link Crew member, Moore mentored 12 AHS freshmen through their first year of high school. He also plays basketball and tennis. And then there’s work. In addition to working at Qdoba, Moore operates the lawn-mowing business he started at age 10. “This year, it’s really skyrocketed; I’m mowing 30 lawns a week,” he said.

Sheriff David C. Walcher has announced that Emilee Mickaliger is this year’s recipient of the County Sheriffs of Colorado scholarship award for Arapahoe County. Mickaliger will be majoring in integrative physiology at the University of Colorado, Boulder. She is the valedictorian of her class, has participated in various sports and contributes to the community through a variety of volunteer activities.

LHS team collaborates internationally

Littleton High School recently won its second consecutive grand prize in the 2013-2014 Global Virtual Classroom website design competition, winning $500 thanks to students in an integrated business class. LHS students have placed in the top three for the past eight years. This year, they helped design a “Teenage Issues” website along with students in India and Russia. The website highlights teen problems, but is filled with positive solutions and strategies.

LHS DECA team brings home medals

Five Littleton High DECA students recently competed in the Interna-

tional Career Development Conference in Atlanta. The team comprising Nathan Tibbetts, Kelly Dinneen, Jackie Lombardi, Joseph Elias and Sara Khorchidian competed against students from around the globe and brought home two third-place trophies and eight medals.

He attended Cherry Hills Christian School from fourth through eighth grade. The Outstanding Youth award was created in 2012 by the Lone Tree Youth Commission, a group of seven Lone Tree teens who serve in an advisory capacity to the City Council. “Lone Tree is full of hard-working, dedicated teens and this is an opportunity for us to highlight their accomplishments,” said Lindsay Nikolaeff, Youth Commission Chair.

70 years later, vet receives his medals Littleton VFW post helps 99-year-old man By Jennifer Smith

jsmith@colorado communitymedia.com When his country called, Alfred Padilla served proudly and well, earning five battle stars and seven medals. Nearly 70 years later, the medals are finally on his chest. “Of all my war experiences, this one right here is the best, most unexpected one,” the World War II veteran said on May 15, just after a ceremony in his honor

at the Pat Hannon Veterans of Foreign Wars Post No. 4666. Padilla, who turns 99 on May 24, never joined the VFW until just a few weeks ago. He was busy living his life, building two family homes, running his own business and having three kids and six grandkids with his wife of 67 years, Virginia, who died six years ago at 92. “After serving in the war, Alfred felt he could try and do anything,” said U.S. Rep. Cory Gardner, who helped arrange for Padilla to finally get the honors he had coming to him. Part of the reason for the

seven-decade delay is that medals often took longer to get to the soldiers than it took eager soldiers to get home. “My favorite memory is when I got my discharge papers,” Padilla said with a grin. But once Padilla hooked up with the Littleton VFW post, his comrades got right to work to make sure the government granted him his due. That “got-yourback” spirit, Padilla said, is what makes him most proud to be a World War II veteran. He served in the Army from March 1941 until June Medals continues on Page 11

1945 in the Headquarters Company, 2nd Signal Battalion, 2nd Armored Division. He earned his battle stars in Normandy, Central Europe, Northern France, Campaign Ardennes and Campaign Rhineland. As a welding and maintenance specialist, part of his job was to sneak up to enemy tankers and weld the door shut, trapping those inside. “He’s a testament to the strength and courage of not only Mr. Padilla, but to others around Colorado and the world that stood up to grave threats,” said Gardner. Padilla’s son, Kenneth, said he was equally inspiring as a father. “My father’s a remarkable man who has lived a full life that has been filled with love,” he said.

But if you ask Padilla himself, he says he’s awed by the honor but isn’t sure what he did to deserve all the fuss. “As far as I’m concerned, a big fat nothing,” he said. A fifth-generation Coloradoan, Padilla was born in Hoehne, near Trinidad, where his great-grandfather had been sheriff. Despite a limited education, he’s fluent in English and Spanish, and loves to read and do crossword puzzles, said his son. He started his own contracting firm after the war, and his stamp can be seen set in concrete throughout the state, including at the Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs. “He’s been an inspiration for us as far as values and ideals,” said his son. “We recognize the sacrifices our parents made. Our mom was incredibly hard-working, too. Together they set goals and ideals that we had to meet. The essence of the

American work ethic is embodied in my parents.” Padilla today lives in Castle Pines, visiting the Littleton post occasionally to drink coffee and swap war stories with his fellow vets. Though the ranks of WWII vets are thinning, they’re being filled in with soldiers who served in Vietnam, Grenada, Afghanistan and other foreign lands. Gardner spoke of a William Jennings Bryan quote that’s emblazoned on the wall of the Capitol building: “Our government, conceived in liberty and purchased with blood, can be preserved only by constant vigilance.” “The people at Pat Hannon Post believe that isn’t just something you write on the wall, it’s something you put your lives on the line for,” said Gardner.

Health providers tackle toll of mental illness Untreated: How ignoring mental illness costs us all (Part 1 of 3) By Kristin Jones and Burt Hubbard Rocky Mountain PBS I-News

Editor’s note: This is the first in a three-part series. Call them frequent flyers. Or superutilizers. Or loyal customers. In hospitals across the country, they’re known to doctors and nurses as the people who come back time and again for care. They make up a very small percentage of patients, but they rack up an inordinate share of medical expenses, often preventable. Among Colorado Medicaid enrollees, they spend an average of around eight times as much as their peers. And many of them — nearly three-quarters, by an Aurora study’s recent count — have a mental illness. It makes intuitive sense, and research confirms it: A troubled mind can take a toll on the body, and vice versa. This simple fact is leading medical professionals and health officials in Colorado to rethink how to curb high costs in the health-care system. What they have found is that it’s impossible to treat the most expensive customers of emergency rooms and other hospital services without addressing mental health. “You can’t improve the overall health if you’re not treating the whole person,” says Dr. Angela Green, who co-directs an Aurora-based project called Bridges to Care.

Health-care costs, many of them preventable, rank among the highest indirect impacts of mental illness, an analysis by Rocky Mountain PBS I-News has found. Medical expenses associated with mental illness reached an estimated $2 billion in Colorado in 2013, according to 2005 figures from the federal Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, updated for growth and inflation. Lost wages cost even more. Workers with mental disorders earn $16,000 less per person per year, according to a 2008 study published in the American Journal of Psychiatry. I-News estimates Colorado’s share of these lost wages at $2.9 billion. The costs keep piling up: $425 million for disability pay in 2012, according to the Social Security Administration; $62 million in state education spending for children with emotional disorders in 2012; $44.7 million to hold inmates with mental illnesses in seven county jails, according to a 2010 City of Denver survey of the metro Denver counties; $28 million budgeted this year to treat state prison inmates. “We’re spending a lot of money on mental health, but in all the wrong places,” says Moe Keller, a former state legislator who is now an advocate with Mental Health America of Colorado. “We’re spending an inordinate amount of money in jails because we’re not treating mental health as a physical health issue, in courts because we’re not treating mental health as a physical health issue, in emergency rooms, in prisons.” Keller believes the money would be more wisely directed to the front end, to screening for depression in primary care offices and treating people for mental and physical health problems in the same place. Around the state, health officials and hospital administrators are coming to the same conclusion. And they’re starting with the frequent flyers.

Treating the whole person

Christina Jackson seemed to sleep only an hour at a time after her sister died in March 2013. Her daughter had to coax her to eat. She cried a lot. And then, in July of last year, chest pains punctuated a crying jag. Jackson was having a heart attack. One thing led to another. The heart attack was followed by a stroke that left Jackson, who is 47, blind in one eye. Her hopelessness and anxiety deepened. By last fall, Jackson had visited the emergency room at University of Colorado Hospital in Aurora three times in a span of six months — the tipping point that alerted Bridges to Care to intervene. Bridges to Care, which is run out of Metro Community Provider Network safety-net clinics in Aurora, launched its frequent-flyer program last year. The program, funded by a federal grant, is part of a national movement aimed at stemming health-care costs by improving the way care is given to the most costly consumers in the medical system. In Colorado, this idea is gaining ground in scattershot efforts launched by state Medicaid administrators and hospitals including Denver Health. These efforts diverge in how they flag frequent flyers and facilitate care. But they share a philosophy of coordinating services and giving personalized attention to help people navigate a complex health-care system more efficiently. Relationships are key. It’s these relationships — between care coordinators and the patients — that can help turn up the undiagnosed and untreated mental illness beneath the surface of a medical crisis. Along with getting a care coordinator, each person who enrolls in Bridges to Care receives a home visit from a therapist and a psychiatric nurse practitioner. The Aurora project has collected detailed profiles of 57 people who have graduated from its two-month program. Around 72 percent of them were diagnosed with one or more mental illnesses. About a quarter of them had depression, 20 percent had anxiety disorder, and 11 percent had bipolar disorder. Bridges to Care’s findings are in line with what health officials and doctors are seeing across Colorado. Mental illnesses collectively make up the most prevalent conditions among Medicaid clients who frequent the ER six times or more in a span of 12 months, according to an I-News survey of the state’s seven regional Medicaid administrators tasked with improving care for lowincome Coloradans. Mental illnesses are more common than diabetes, asthma, or any other driver of ER use. Around 33 percent of these frequent flyers have behavioral health claims, but that’s likely an underestimate of the true disease prevalence, Medicaid administrators say. “When you look at the claims data, it doesn’t help paint the picture at all,” says Jenny Nate, community strategist for Rocky Mountain Health Plans, which helps administer Medicaid for much of the western half of the state. “Sometimes behavioral health diagnoses get missed or minimized,” says Nate. “So it’s hard to get the real story.” On top of that, Medicaid clients get their physical care and their mental health care from separate places, making it harder to track any overlap.

Relationships cut costs

That’s where care coordinators like Alyssa Murphy come in. Murphy, a former AmeriCorps volunteer, was assigned to guide Christina Jackson to a primary care doctor and make sure she could get an appointment when she needed it. The two hit it off immediately. “I really love her,” Jackson beamed at Murphy, who was sitting across the room from her in Jackson’s duplex in east Aurora. Before, she said, she couldn’t seem to get a doctor’s appointment when she needed it and hospital staff didn’t seem to care about her at all. Murphy seemed genuinely interested in her well-being. “She helped me through it.” Along with arranging transportation to the clinic and helping her apply for food stamps, Murphy introduced Jackson to the clinic’s behavioral health team, who taught her breathing techniques to manage stress. On the sofa at home, Jackson demonstrated her breathing exercises. She inhaled, one-two-three, and exhaled. Immediately, her face looked less drawn; she smiled and sat up straighter. Jackson graduated from the two-month program at the end of January, without going to the hospital once during that time. While her depression hasn’t lifted, Jackson has found that its burden was eased by the personal attention and a sense of empowerment about her health. As time-consuming and resource-intensive as it is to provide care this way, it’s actually expected to cut medical costs, says Green. Six months after graduating from the program, 79 percent of the patients were either visiting the emergency room less frequently or not at all. With an eye toward reducing Medicaid expenses, state government recently launched pilot programs to do similar work in regions with the highest concentration of what they call superutilizers. The state’s intervention targets people who visited the emergency room six times or more in a span of 12 months, or used 30 prescriptions — a population that cost $25,187 per patient in 2013, on average.

age Medicaid patient costs just $3,000 a year. Care coordinators — the kind of personal medical assistant that Murphy was to Christina Jackson — will be assigned to these high-cost medical customers in Pueblo and Colorado Springs in order to make their health care more efficient.

Illnesses interact

Behavioral health will be a key part of the approach, says Patrick Fox, deputy director of the Office of Behavioral Health at the Colorado Department of Human Services. “Most of these superutilizers have a physical health problem and behavioral health component,” Fox says. He gives the example of a Medicaid client who was treated for a blood clot in her lung. Afterward, every twinge in her leg or chest would send her, panicked, to the ER. She went every two or three weeks. “She didn’t understand that her risk of this coming back was nonexistent. Somebody needed to explain it to her,” says Fox. “It was not a severe persistent mental illness, but in a regular primary care office, there’s not time to look for a behavioral health condition. It doesn’t get diagnosed.” At the same time, it isn’t uncommon for frequent flyers to have a mental illness that’s the main driver of their ER visits. Around 14 percent of the frequent ER users in central Colorado counties, including El Paso, have a primary diagnosis of mental illness. The number is 18 percent in the state’s southeastern counties, including Pueblo. They include people like Fruita resident Agnes Shellabarger, who has schizophrenia. Migraines and suicid-

al thoughts have led her to the hospital repeatedly, and she now works with a care coordinator based at Mind Springs Health, the community mental health center in Grand Junction. Substance abuse is also a common driver of ER visits. Robin Bingham was a repeat visitor to the emergency room at St. Mary’s Hospital in Grand Junction, usually for detox from crystal methamphetamine or alcohol. In January, she took an overdose of medication in a suicide attempt, and was referred to a care coordinator at Mind Springs Health who has helped her embark on recovery. “It’s very difficult to find treatment on your own,” Bingham said in March. “I called every treatment center in town and they didn’t call me back.” When Denver Health designed its frequent-flyer program, it specifically targeted people with co-occurring mental illnesses. To qualify for an intensive outpatient intervention, patients had to be admitted to the hospital three times in the past six months — or twice, with a mental illness diagnosis. The reason for this, says Tracy L. Johnson, who directs health-care reform initiatives at Denver Health, is the growing body of research on a national level showing the relationship between preventable hospital readmissions and mental illness. The revolving door is especially likely to ensnare people with mental illness who are non-compliant with medication, who are discharged into unstable care or who have co-occurring substance abuse disorders, according to recent research reviewed by scholars at George Washington University.

mental health can come hand-inhand with substance abuse, unemployment, homelessness, high rates of smoking and poor access to medical care. In part for these reasons, people with severe mental illnesses die an average of 25 years earlier than others, according to a 2008 study by the National Association of State Mental Health Program Directors. Statistics like this one have convinced many that there are benefits in coordinating physical and mental health care. But the mechanics of doing so are often more difficult. In practice, the two forms of care are in separate silos. Keller, the mental health advocate, ticks off a list of obstacles that stand in the way of integrating the two types of care. Much of the difficulty has to do with reimbursement. Physicians can’t bill for anything that doesn’t have its own billing code. And the payment model doesn’t account for the lengthier office visits that a mental-health visit requires. There are other barriers, too. Nurses, doctors and psychologists are often unaccustomed to working in a team. And broad interpretations of medical privacy laws prevent the sharing of information. Colorado is applying for a federal grant to integrate its physical and behavioral health care, and Keller believes the Affordable Care Act will go a long way toward reforming payment for mental health. “There are some good things happening,” says Keller. “We’re not there yet.”

Volunteer group wants to buy land as birthday gift By Chris Michlewicz

cmichlewicz @coloradocommunitymedia.com Finding the perfect gift for a dear friend who’s turning 50 can prove difficult, but that’s not the case for one group. The kind-hearted caretakers known as the Friends of Castlewood Canyon State Park knew just how to mark the milestone: expansion. The volunteer group has its eye on a 15-acre parcel of land adjacent to the park upon which sits the Kleinert homestead, a ranch built in 1887 along the banks of the lake that burst through the canyon’s dam nearly five decades later. The Friends of Castlewood Canyon have committed to raising $25,000 toward the purchase and are busy organizing a number of events to raise money for the “birthday gift,” said Ron Claussen, president of the group. The events include a 10K trail run in September and a “yoga in the park” series that starts in June. The Friends raised $6,000 in the first month of the fundraising campaign. It needs another $19,000 for the Kleinert property. While Castlewood Canyon officially became a state park in 1964, its history began three years earlier when a man purported to be the grandson of “The

Unsinkable” Molly Brown donated 87 acres to the state. From there, the park has grown piece by piece to just over 2,200 acres through donations and discounted acquisitions. The park is located south of Franktown on State Highway 83 in Douglas County. Claussen enthusiastically talks about the unique topography, varied flora and story-telling geological formations that define Castlewood Canyon, sprinkling in the occasional legend (it is said that bigfoot has been spotted in those parts). He readily admits that historical gaps are often filled with educated conjecture by the 50-plus volunteers who help out at the park. For Claussen and the other helpers, there is a magnetic attraction to Castlewood Canyon. He began his stint at the park in 2001 as an interpreter for Great Outdoors Colorado, and even moved to Douglas County to be closer to the canyon. After retiring in 2011, he couldn’t stay away.

was being paid,” he said. “Retirement’s not working out for me at all.” As incredible as it might seem, there are people who live in nearby communities who have never heard of Castlewood Canyon, let alone visited. The volunteers are trying to change that, and the fundraising activities are expected to help boost its public profile. Those who contribute are invited to sign a massive birthday card at the visitor center and track the fundraising progress on a gauge in the form of a candle on top of a cupcake, said Liz Bade, volunteer naturalist and vice president of the Friends. Aside from the $25,000 for the Kleinert property, which will provide storage and better access for maintenance crews on the west end, the Friends are hoping to raise another $25,000 this year for park programs and improvements to the visitor center. That’s $1,000 for every year the park has been in existence. A long-term goal is focused on building an environmental education center, but that is several years out, Claussen said. To donate, send a check to P.O. Box 403, Franktown, CO, 80116. Find more information on the Friends of Castlewood Canyon State Park at www.castlewoodfriends.org.

Unlike sports anchor Susie Wargin, who is trading her microphone for a career in real estate, and entertainment reporter Kirk Montgomery, who took an anchor job in Michigan, Dyer is sticking around the station on the 11 a.m. and noon news show and will be taping pieces that will air on various newscasts. Oh, and don’t forget traffic watcher and meteorologist Amelia Earhart, who departed not long ago. The job switch, which Dyer says was per her request so she could spend mornings and evenings with her husband and two daughters, takes place mid-July. Dyer has been a fixture on the morning news set for 18 years. Dyer explains her reasons for leaving the morning newscast (with its 1 a.m. wake-up call) and her new duties in a video interview at www.9news.com/ story/about-us/2014/05/12/kyle-dyer9news-morning-anchor/8982829/.

Play is painful, mesmerizing ‘A Lie of the Mind’ presents dark view of family life By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe@colorado communitymedia.com In “A Lie of the Mind,” playwright Sam Shepard’s two families interact with each other and members of the other family in a style that makes one wince every few minutes. It’s a hard one to watch, but director Verl Hite has recruited a cast that’s up to staging Shepard’s bizarre tale — one of several he has written colored by his take on American families. The time is 1974. Place: Montana, California and somewhere in between. Country music plays in the background. When “A Lie of the Mind” first ran offBroadway in 1985, directed by Shepard, it ran four hours, but the version presented by the Bug Theatre, like a 2010 Broadway revival, is under three and will keep an audience absolutely engaged, however uncomfortable viewers may be. The stage represents two households in the West, with skewed floors suggesting the off-balance status of all involved. As lights go up on Scene 1, Jake (Chris Bleu) is at a pay phone, frantically trying to call his brother Frankie (Paul Jaquith) for help. He has beaten his wife Beth so severely that he thinks she is dead. “I didn’t see it coming” says this psychopathic man, who also talks about how he’ll die without her. Love and its varied manifestations is a

theme that threads through this disturbing script repeatedly. Frankie determines to find out what happened and heads for Beth’s home in Montana, where he is shot in the leg by Beth’s father Baylor, who lives only to hunt deer. Dell Domnik and Darcy Kennedy play Beth’s out-of-touch parents. Brain-damaged Beth (a strong Haley Johnson) is struggling in a hospital, while her brother Mike (Sam Gilstrap) tries to help her realize she’s alive and needing assistance. The script calls for her to be barely intelligible, yet we get the drift of what she is trying to communicate and want to help her too. On the other side of the stage, Jake goes home to his family for help and his toughtalking mother (Libby Rife) and angry sister (Mary Kay Riley) are isolated in their own worlds. Each character in this wonderfully crafted play is fully developed and dysfunctional, so interactions are constantly skewed and edgy. Transfer attention to the Montana side of the stage (action is sometimes simultane-

Courtesy photo ous) and Beth is at home with her parents, struggling to make sense — and, seeing a connection between Frankie and Jake, tries to romance the confused Frankie. Disturbed Jake appears in Montana seeking Beth, wearing an American flag that belonged to his dead father — yet another tale within this parade of tragedies. Baylor becomes obsessed with proper care of that flag, shutting off all that’s happening around them. As the play draws to an end, with nothing resolved and chaos around

Director Hite observes: “This is a story of life in which Shepard expresses his ideas on the subject of people’s relationships with themselves and others.” This cast depicts that story skillfully.

‘Venus in Fur’ looks at interplay By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe@colorado communitymedia.com David Ives has written a remarkable play and Curious Theatre director Chip Walton has cast it perfectly. Production values, set, lighting, sound and costumes are well-designed. We are in an old warehouse/studio with high windows and concrete all around. Banks of fluorescent lights lend a harsh glare as night comes on and rain beats on the windows. (One could make a joke about “a dark and stormy night” …) Playwright/director Thomas (Brett Aune) is on the phone, complaining that none of the 35 women he has auditioned

IF YOU GO “Venus in Fur” plays through June 14 at Curious Theatre, 1080 Acoma St., in Denver’s Golden Triangle. Performances: 8 p.m. Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays; 2 p.m. Sundays. Tickets: $20-$40, 303-623-0524, curioustheatre.org.

for the Vanda part in his play can “even play feminine — our Vanda’s got to be out there somewhere.” His play is about sadomasochism and the power play between male and female, based on an 1870 book, “Venus in Furs” by Leopold von Sacher-Masoch. He’s about to head home when in rushes a dramatic-looking woman, carrying a

blown- inside-out umbrella and pulling a suitcase. It’s Vanda Jordan (Karen Slack) and she is determined to audition, whether it’s too late or not. The train had problems, she says — and she will read for him. She takes off her coat and is wearing a leather vest and skirt, with leather dog collar. The play is set in 1870, he protests, and she switches to bra, panties and a sheer white Victorian-looking dress. Is this Venus? Who is she? She commences the lines, fetching him a frock coat from her bag. And thus begins an extraordinary cat-and-mouse game that runs non-stop for 90 minutes. She has read the book and knows the script well. Mutual sexual attraction interplays with

changes in which actor dominates at a given moment — but mostly it’s Vanda. They go on and off book, but in either case, it’s about control and outsized emotions. There are humorous breaks in the suspense. Ives is a masterful writer. “Marry me, dominate me … this is the future of men and women,” Thomas says near the end as lightning and thunder continue outside. Bottom line? “Don’t (mess) with a goddess!!” This is a wonderfully conceived and produced play. Concept and language are for a mature audience, but are so smoothly tied in that they shouldn’t offend. Both Slack and Aune offer top-of-the-game performances.

Denver Art Museum show rounds up Western bronzes

“The Western bronze statuette was eagerly collected by the urban populace at the turn of the 20th century,” said Thomas Smith, director of the Petrie Institute of American Art at the Denver Art Museum, as he introduced “The American West in Bronze, 1850-1925,” which opened May 11 and runs until Aug. 31. Smith is co-curator of the first in-depth survey of this popular genre of American art. Thayer Tolles of the Metropolitan Museum of Art was the other curator, and the two have written a companion catalog for the show, which contains 72 bronze sculptures by 28 artists, borrowed from across the U.S. Some of these works were models for larger pieces made for public art: “Indians on the mantel and in the park,” as another catalog essay noted. The sculptures are carefully displayed and lighted in the Gallagher Family Gallery on the first floor of the museum, so it’s easy to see the touch of the sculptor’s hand in textures and details. Murals on the walls show how some works were translated into monumental public art. The bronzes are grouped by subject: Indians, cowboys, cavalry, pioneers and prospectors, as well as animals of the plains and mountains. Each piece tells a story of the early West, although some of these artists started portraying Western characters from studios in New York before they visited the scene. Some found models for wildlife at the Bronx Zoo and other zoos. By 1850, there were foundries opened in the U.S. where bronzes could be cast. Prior to that time, molds were sent to Europe for

casting, which added time and expense to the process. A large work at the entrance is by Alexander Phimister Proctor, who studied in Paris, but created images of the American West. Pieces were made by sand casting until 1900, Smith said, when the lost wax method became popular. A video of the lost wax process shot at the Metropolitan Museum is shown. It shows the process for making a mold of an equestrian figure of Theodore Roosevelt and readying it to go to the foundry in sections. Two editions of Frederic Remington’s “Bronco Buster” show how he added motion to figures, Smith said, also pointing out his “Cheyenne.” “Bronco Buster” was repeated in 150 editions. A contrasting figure is Paul Manship’s 1926 figure of a running Indian in a sleek style that signaled the beginning of modern art. It looks almost Art Deco, a new era in sculpture. Wildlife was already vanishing in the West and images such as “A Lament” helped with the rise of the conservation movement. There is a sculpture studio open near the gallery where visitors can explore traditional and contemporary practices. On Saturdays, a professional sculptor will be in residence to demonstrate and talk with children and adults.

Creek girls grab third at state Colter captures two titles, Miller reaches podium four times By Jim Benton

jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com Cherry Creek distance runner Jordyn Colter successfully repeated as the state champion in two events but teammate Ashley Miller will have to wait until next year to hopefully take a step up on the victory podium. Colter and Miller led the Bruins girls team, the defending Class 5A state champions, to a third-place finish in the Colorado State Track and Field Championships May 15-17 at Jeffco Stadium in Lakewood. The diminutive Colter, a junior, repeated as the 800 meter champion May 16 with a time of 2 minutes, 9.16 seconds and edged Lauren Gregory of Fort Collins at the tape May 17 to capture her second consecutive 1600 meter state title in 4:57.27. Colter now holds five state titles since she was also part of the school’s title-winning 4x800 relay team as a freshman. “It’s awesome to come out and do it again,” said Colter. “I’ve said it before that it’s an honor to race against such good competition. I couldn’t ask for a better day.” For a while it appeared that Colter might not repeat in the 1600 but she passed Gregory just before the finish line. “I’ve been working on my speed a lot this season,” pointed out Colter. “I just had to put it to use. I’m very happy.” Miller, a sophomore, was seventh in the 200 meters and fifth in the 100 meters. She set personal

records in the 100-meter hurdles and 300-meter hurdles but finished second in both events to girls who set state records. In the 100-meter hurdles, Miller was timed in 13.38 seconds but Dior Hall of George Washington established a meet record of 13.09 to win. Miller’s time was the fourth best all-time in Colorado. Miller fashioned a 41.57 in the 300 hurdles but Rocky Mountain junior Carly Lester won with an all-time state record of 41.18 to break the previous mark of 41.35 set by Twink Krainik of Highlands Ranch in 2000. “I’m not disappointed at all,”

Warriors lose tough battle to Bruins Arapahoe’s bid for state girls lacrosse title ends with loss to Creek By Tom Munds

tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia. com The faces of the Arapahoe High School girls players reflected disappointment and sadness May 14 as they left the field after an 11-10 loss to Cherry Creek in the state quarterfinal game played at Littleton Public Schools Stadium. “We knew it would be a tough battle,” Warrior coach Stacey Birlson said after the game. “We beat Cherry Creek for the first time ever 12-11 during the regular season and scored the winning goal with seven seconds left in the game. Today, we were within one goal of tying the score with three seconds left but it didn’t happen.” A sun-drenched field greeted the teams as they took the field to the cheers of fans from both schools as they lined up to start the May 14 quarterfinal game. Both teams played a slower pace, deliberate style by passing the ball around as teammates cut through defenders in an effort to get an open shot at the goal. Arapahoe scored a goal with just under three minutes left to break a 3-3 tie so they had a 4-3 advantage at halftime. Cherry Creek came out early in the sec-

ond half, mounted an aggressive attack to take a 6-4 advantage. The teams both scored more goals and Bruins held an 11-8 advantage with 5:33 left in the second half. Arapahoe didn’t toss in the towel or quit pressing the attack as it scored two unanswered goals to close the score to 11-10 with three seconds left. The Warriors mounted a balanced attack with four players, Isley Walker, Kate Englert, Alexis Linhardt and Alexy DeHarb scoring two goals each. After the game, Coach Birlson said her team played a deliberate style against Cherry Creek. “We passed the ball around and took our time because we knew both teams were focused on ball possession,” she said. “We used passes to control the ball. All the players were moving and we continued passing until we could get the ball to a player who had chance for a good shot on the goal.” The coach said the Warriors’ defense played very well and goalie Brooke Engel was a key. “Brooke made some great saves and helped keep the score close,” she said. Birlson said although Arapahoe lost the quarterfinal game, the girls should be proud of all they accomplished. “This is a great group of girls and they played their hearts out today and all season,” she said. “This is by far the best season in the history of Arapahoe girls lacrosse. We won the league title, we beat

Photo by Tom Munds Cherry Creek so our team can look with pride on all they accomplished.” The Warriors finished the year with a 12-3 regular season record and were league champs, unbeaten in seven games. Arapahoe had a potent offense, scoring an average of 15 goals a game, while the defense held opponents to less than seven

goals a game. Kate Englert was the team scoring leader with 45 goals and 18 assists. Teammate Kienan Linhardt had 38 goals and 13 assists and Alexy DeHarb scored 33 goals and dished off 18 assists. Brooke Engel was in goal for the Warriors and she made 126 saves for her team.

Bruins boys take runner-up lacrosse honors Cherry Creek loses to Regis in 5A state finals By Tom Munds

tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia. com Cherry Creek’s bid for the state Class 5A boys lacrosse title came up short as it lost to Regis 14-7 in the championship game played May 17 at Sports Authority Field at Mile High. “It is tough to lose but Regis came out ready to play today,” Bruin coach Brian Perry said after the game. “They did a better job of winning the ground balls and their goalie was very good. We felt what we were doing was working pretty well on offense and we took a lot of shots but couldn’t find the net. Today just wasn’t our day.” Regis coach Jim Soran said his team played hard in practice and in the games to earn today’s win. “Cherry Creek beat us pretty handily in the regular season and that didn’t sit well with us,” he said. “We started working right away to things we needed to do better. We can in with a good game play on offense and defense and we executed it well. It is a team win and it is great for our players and for our school.” The teams took their time warming up but the tempo shifted into high gear with

the first faceoff. The Bruins scored early in the first quarter but Regis responded to tie the score. The teams traded goals and the Raiders got a goal by Matt Soren, the coach’s nephew, to lead 3-2 at the end of the first quarter. Soren, who scored five goals for Regis, scored two of them early in the second quarter to put the Raiders ahead to stay. Teammate Chet Dunstan scored four goals for his team. The Bruins battled hard and got shots at the goal but Raider goalie Bret Quartuccion and his defensive teammates made it tough to get the ball into the net. Quartuccion made 19 saves, including one hockey goalie-like kick save, turning a shot headed to the net with his foot. The Raiders led 9-4 at halftime. Cherry Creek scored an average of 13 goals a game this season. The fact the Bruins only scored seven goals and only Henry Adams scored more than once was a tribute to the play of the Raiders’ defense. After the game, the Bruin coach said he was proud of his team and the effort they put into battling to try to close the scoring gap. He did acknowledge his 16 seniors are about to graduate but added that he had a lot of good players coming back plus a strong feeder program. “There are strong, competitive youth lacrosse programs in the South Suburban

Photo by Tom Munds Parks and in the American Youth League that teach good lacrosse techniques,” he said. “I will take a few days off then start getting ready for our summer league program. We have a strong program. About 20 or 30 percent of our kids play lacrosse

all years while most of the rest play more than one sport. We also have several kids a year who go on to play lacrosse at the college level. We’ll just begin the process so we are ready to go for high school season next spring.”

Miller said about her runner-up finishes. “I’m extremely proud of the girls I ran with. In the 100 hurdles against Dior I was actually excited she broke the record. I knew she could do it. I also know it’s not going to last very long because I can get that next year. “With Carly I have her next year.

Hennessey Stuart of Regis Jesuit High School was selected as the most valuable swimmer in the May 16-17 Class 5A state swimming and diving meet at the Veteran’s Memorial Aquatic Center in Thornton. While helping to lead Regis to its fourth-consecutive state title, Stuart won titles in the 200 Individual Medley and 100 Backstroke and swam legs on the Raiders firstplace 200 medley and 400 relay quartets. The 400-relay team touched up in state record accomplishment. Stuart overwhelmed the field in the 100 Backstroke, finishing in a time of 47.24 seconds for the victory, nearly four seconds ahead of runner-up Thomas Konde (51.10) of Cherokee Trail. The 200 IM was much closer as he won in a time of 1 minute, 47.77 seconds, beating out Cherry Creek’s Jake Markham (1:48.58) and Loveland’s Ryan Ball (1:50.58). “I was actually very nervous going into the race,” Stuart said after the 200 IM. “But I’m certainly happy the way it turned out. Jake and Ryan are very good and I knew they would give me some tough competition. “The state record in the 400 relay is really something and it was sweet to win in all four of my events today. (Winning the) MVP is exciting and awesome. And this was a great day for my brother, Quinlan, and for our team. It was awesome watching my brother and to be a part of our fourth straight title here at Regis.” Quinlan Stuart won the 100 Breaststroke in a time of 57.2 seconds, just nipping Cherokee Trail’s Joshua Bedford (57.53) and his Regis teammate, Theodore Koerner (57.68). “I can’t seem to explain my feeling for this one,” Quinlan Stuart said. “I’m just so honored to have me and my brother doing well. This is my first title today and to win the relays with my brother and teammates is a blessing.” Regis won the opening 200 Medley Relay in 1:31.71 as Chris Morales and Will Pieseski joined the Stuarts in the win. Boulder was second with a time of 1:34.34. Mitchell Bruckman, Christopher Dawson and Austin Phillips swam with Hennessey Stuart on the 400 Freestyle Relay, winning in a time of 3:00.84. The Raiders defeated Cherry Creek (3:04.14) and Fairview (3:07.69) in the event. It was the Raiders depth that led coach Nick Frasersmith’s squad to an overwhelming 410 points to sink runner-up Cherry Creek (190) and third-place Fairview (179). It also was the 20th overall title for the Raiders. “To begin with, this was just a great team effort,” Frasersmith said. “The boys put their hearts into the season and we had a good run. Day by day our practices were good and the boys found their goal today. They just all pulled together. It was a great season. And, that certainly goes for Hennessey. What a fine way to end the year.” Regis picked up its final individual title in diving behind the efforts of Kyle Goodwin, who won his third consecutive state championship by scoring 559.29 points. He easily outscored runner-up Trent Kindvall of Standley Lake (487.65). “It felt good to get this win and each year I’ve gotten better,” Goodwin said. “It feels much more rewarding this year. The key was confidence from my training and going into the day with high hopes once again.” Kindvall was more than pleased with his effort and knew it was going to be a tough go against Goodwin. “I had a great meet and it’s certainly a fine finish,” Kindvall said. “I was third last year, so this is an improvement. The key was consistency. I didn’t have any horrible dives and it just came out so well this time around. Goodwin’s tough, but we all knew that coming in.” Nathan Mueller of Highlands Ranch also had a superb day coming through for championships in the 200 and 500 Freestyle events. And, Fairview’s Miles MacKenzie was able to win his second title in the 100 Freestyle as well as finish second in the 50 Free. “This feels pretty good as I started to get into it,” Mueller said after touching up in 1:38.26 to beat out Austin Phillips of Regis (1:39.25) in the 200 Free. “I had a lot of confidence and knew I was prepared and that it was going to be fun. It’s sweet to get the win.” He then edged another Regis swimmer, Christopher Dawson to take the 500 Free. Mueller touched up in 4:27.41, besting Dawson by 1.46 seconds. The final individual title of the day was won by Maxwell Holter of Fort Collins in the 100 Butterfly with a time of 48.69 seconds. Holter defeated Cherry Creek’s Markham (49.20) who came in second.
