Clarity Commons: A tribute to Claire Friends of family plan an acre of peace on Arapahoe High campus By Jennifer Smith
jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia. com Bob Lembke can’t talk about Claire Davis without tearing up. “She just had a certain spark to her. Most young children do, she just had a little different something,” he said on May 29. Lembke had known Claire since his two children, Adrienne and Corinne, befriended the two Davis children, Alexander and Claire, in preschool. The two sets of parents hit it off, too, and they all became life-
long friends. After the Dec. 13 shooting at Arapahoe High School that ultimately claimed Claire’s life, Lembke knew he had to do something to help his friends through their grief. “They’re still grieving deeply the loss of their daughter and the loss of their future plans with her,” he said. “They’re holding firm in their message of forgiveness, and developing their new normal day by Davis day. … It changes the future, and they’re slowly coming to grips with that and understanding what that means. They’re trying to make sense of the senseless.” Claire continues on Page 5

Event series brings summer fun Amphitheater improvements among big draws for park By Anna Sheffer
Special to Colorado Community Media The dog days of summer do not have to be boring. Centennial Center Park’s summer events offer an opportunity for fun for everyone from June through early August. The events kick off at 6 p.m. June 7 with the Summer Blast Off, a free concert featuring tribute band The Long Run: Experience the Eagles, local artist Katey Laurel and the Aurora School of Rock. The kickoff event features food, music, children’s activities and fireworks. The Summer Blast Off marks the grand re-opening of the amphitheater after it has been renovated to include a stage cover and built-in lights. The amphitheater, first used in summer 2013, initially required performers to bring their own lighting equipment, and the city realized that the amphitheater could be improved. Allison Wittern, public information
and special events manager for the city, said the stage cover will help accommodate acts. “It makes it a little more attractive for entertainers to come,” she said. The amphitheater is scheduled to reopen at the end of May, and Sheri Chadwick, director of communications for the city, said the renovations will allow larger national acts to come to the park in addition to local performers. Centennial Mayor Cathy Noon has similar hopes for the amphitheater. “These improvements will allow us to attract professional performances as well as present a great venue for local artists and community performances,” Noon said. But the park, which opened in 2012, is not limited to special events. It hosts Friday Film Fest the second and fourth Fridays of June and July. Each movie night features food vendors, entertainment and a family-friendly movie that begins at dusk in the park. The entertainment for each night begins at 7 and is related to that night’s movie. For example, tae kwon do demonstrations will be held prior to “Kung Fu Panda” and the water play area of the park will be open past its normal hours of operation to go along
with the showing of “The Little Mermaid.” Shoppers can enjoy the summer event series, too. The Centennial Farmers and Artisans Market runs Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on June 14 and July 12. The market features goods from local artisans as well as fresh produce from local Colorado companies and food trucks from restaurants like Little India and Crave-It Frozen Yogurt. Each market also features live music from local musicians. The summer events series ends Aug. 9 with Centennial Under the Stars, a free outdoor concert featuring DSB: America’s Favorite Tribute to Journey. The event features food and activities for families and culminates in a laser light show. A special, final farmers market will be held from 6 to 10 p.m. in conjunction withe the concert. Overall, the summer events series is intended to draw in families from all over Centennial. “We hope the summer events will give friends and neighbors in Centennial a great opportunity to get outside and enjoy Centennial Center Park,” Chadwick said. The park is located at 13050 E. Peakview Ave., Centennial.
Mental health is front and center in Littleton Public Schools’ 2015-16 budget discussion. While nobody mentioned the December shooting deaths at Arapahoe High School, it was evident that everyone in the room during the May 29 meeting of the board of education agreed that more resources need to go toward spotting kids who are in trouble before tragedy strikes. In March, Nate Thompson, whose position as director of support services has been converted to director of emotional and social support, said the district needs a universal screening tool for those issues first and foremost. “It’s about psychological safety,” he said. “What do we do for kids when they’re in that place when they might hurt themselves or others?” To that end, the board gave initial approval to adding $800,000 to mentalhealth services next school year, to include a dedicated clinic and the equivalent of 10.5 full-time mental-health workers to be distributed all levels, from the elementary schools on up. LPS staff is working with Arapahoe/ Douglas Mental Health Network on how best to implement a mental-health clinic within an existing district building but has not yet decided which one. When kids are sent to outside programs like ADMHN, whether by the district or a court order, per-pupil funding follows them. That cost LPS about $650,000 last year. Utilizing interns from area universities is another possibility, said Diane Doney, the district’s chief operating officer. “I think you will see that next year, we Mental continues on Page 5

Splash Dash remembers a life cut short Parents hope to prevent drowning accidents Staff report Drennen O’Melia’s parents want everyone to remember their son not with sadness, but with the same joy he showed in his short life. “While we will always grieve the loss, he left our hearts filled with lessons about how to live life to the fullest and to love with no boundaries,” Bill and Melissa O’Melia wrote on the website for the Drennen’s Dreams Foundation, formed after their 12-year-old son drowned during a pool party in Centennial in 2010. Last year the foundation hosted the inaugural Splash Dash 5K in Drennen’s honor, with proceeds benefiting drowning prevention and other children’s causes. Thanks to its success, the second annual event is set for June 8, beginning and ending at Arapahoe High School. “Neighbors along the route put out sprinklers, slip-n-slides and other fun and cool activities to keep the runners hydrated,” reads the website.
Bill O’Melia, the father of 12-year-old Drennen who drowned in a guarded pool in 2010, speaks publicly for the first time to a group of new Highlands Ranch lifeguards during a May 18 training session at Southridge Recreation Center. Photo by Hannah Garcia “We are expecting 900 runners at our event and we already have a ton of vendors and corporate sponsors, including Children’s Hospital,” said Jennifer Darling,
president of the foundation and senior vice president of philanthropy at Children’s. “Of course our larger goal is to promote the mission of Drennen’s Dreams Foundation
and raise awareness for water-safety issues. This is obviously an important time of year for getting that message out and, ideally, preventing another tragic drowning this summer.” A jury last year ruled in favor of Drennen’s parents, in a lawsuit alleging that inattentive lifeguards at Southglenn Country Club failed to notice that the boy had been underwater for at least five minutes before he was found at the base of an unstaffed lifeguard chair. Bill O’Melia spoke publicly about his son for the first time during a recent training session for new lifeguards in Highlands Ranch. “After four years, there are good days and bad days,” he said. “There’s not been one single day since June 6, 2010, that we don’t think about Drennen. All of this tragedy because of the choices made.” He implored the new hires to be evervigilant on the job. “You are the last, best defense against drowning incidents,” he told them. “Fair or not, this is the world you’ve chosen to participate in. Patrons are counting on you.” Registration for the Splash Dash 5K is $40. For more information, visit www. drennensdreams.org.
Fire trucks to roll again for muster By Tom Munds
tmunds@colorado communitymedia.com The wail of sirens and clang of bells will announce the annual Fire Muster Parade in Littleton. This marks the 29th year for the event sponsored by Mile High Hook and Ladder, a Brighton-based nonprofit made up of antique fire-truck enthusiasts. This year’s event, in keeping with tradition, begins with the parade that rolls into action from
Broadway and Littleton Boulevard at 9 a.m. June 14. The parade heads south on Broadway to Rafferty Gardens Avenue, turns west, then goes south on Bannock Street to Littleton Boulevard. The vehicles head west on Littleton Boulevard through the downtown area to Curtis Street before turning south as they head for the end of the parade at Arapahoe Community College. Littleton Fire Department’s century-old 1914 Federal Chemi-
cal Truck will lead the parade. The remainder of the parade is made up of firefighting and rescue equipment of different ages, sizes, shapes and colors. When the parade is over, vehicles will remain on display in the ACC parking lot. There will be vendors selling food and other items, plus there are free activities such as fire-truck rides and volunteers helping children spray targets with a fire hose. “This is such a cool event,” Lane Bumbgartner said as she checked out the poster about the muster. “I
grew up in Littleton and we always came to the fire muster. Now I bring my kids because they all love fire trucks. My son has fire-truck sheets on his bed.” The Centennial resident said she has invited a number of neighbors to the muster. She said most of them didn’t know about the event but several seem interested and said they probably would attend. “I urged them to go because it is fun for the parents and for the kids,” she said.
Littleton’s antique fire equipment leads last year’s Fire Muster Parade into downtown Littleton. The same truck will lead this year’s parade when the muster comes to town June 14. File photo

School districts benefit from working together By Jennifer Smith
jsmith@colorado communitymedia.com Littleton Public Schools’ lobbyists thanked the district for taking the lead on making sure every district in Colorado would have a little extra loose change in their couch cushions next year. “This board was more present in the state Legislature this session than any other,” said Mike Beasley of 5280 Strategies during the board’s May 29 meeting. “You help give voice to other districts around Colorado that didn’t feel like they had one. Some of the most important work was outreach. Your delegation, Republican and Democrat, were champions for what you asked them to do, because they were hearing from the voters, and that is invaluable. … We injected some common sense into the debate.” In February, Superintendent Scott Murphy wrote an open letter that was signed onto by nearly every superintendent in Colorado. The letter urged legislators to restore the “negative fac-
tor” and to do so with no mandates as to how the money could be spent. Negative Factor 101: Amendment 23 mandates that the state pay a base amount per child to school districts, which must rise in accordance to the rate of inflation. It applies a formula based on variables such as size, local cost of living and the number of atrisk kids, in an effort to more equitably distribute the funds. But in 2009, the Legislature decided the amount each district gets based on those factors does not have to increase, just the base. “The Legislature took these funds directly out of our classrooms,” wrote Murphy. “The only responsible action is for the Legislature to return that funding to our classrooms.” Ultimately, a $110 million investment was agreed on by legislators and educators to buy down the $1 billion negative factor. Murphy thanked Beasley for his advice during the negotiations. “Compromise is fine, but sometimes you’ve got to say compromise is for tomorrow,” said Murphy. But board members were wary of any requirements that might be attached to the anticipated return of the funding. Much of the nearly $12 mil-
lion that voters approved in the 2010 mill-levy override has been spent in an attempt to fulfill unfunded mandates that continued to come down from the state even as the economy was crashing, taking the housing market down with it — the market upon which education budgets are based via property taxes. Between 2008 and 2010, LPS cut its budget by about 10 percent, or about $14 million, which resulted in 200 lost jobs and two closed schools, not to mention larger class sizes and eliminated programs. Without the mill-levy increase, Murphy estimates about $4 million more would have been slashed. But the 2014 Legislative session brought with it some breathing room, with proposed new mandates shot down and funding increased for many programs. Stacey Lestina of Colorado Consulting said this session was the first in many years that the Legislature did not pass an expensive new mandate or require extensive program changes for school districts. “It felt good to build a coalition and be proactive and get the word out,” said Lucie Stanish, board president.

Hospital PR team recalls darkest day Two, both new to community, served as the voices of Davis family in December By Jennifer Smith
jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com Jason Dunkel and Lauren Brendel are relatively new to the south metro community, but last December, they found themselves thrust into the middle of one its most horrific days. “When it happened, I texted a friend and my parents, and I said, `This is the worst day of my professional career,’” remembers Brendel. She is the marketing manager at Littleton Adventist Hospital, and Dunkel is the director of business services. They’d both been there for just about a year on Dec. 13, 2013 — the day the ambulance arrived with Claire Davis. What followed for them was a frenzy of staying strong enough to deal with the onslaught of local and national media such as neither had ever experienced, interspersed with stolen moments alone to shed the inescapable tears. “You had to take those moments when you needed them, and then do what needed to be done,” said Brendel. “I had to try and separate my personal feelings from what I needed to do on behalf of Claire and her family.” While it’s Brendel’s everyday job to deal with the media, Dunkel feels like it was providence that led him to stand beside the Davis family, to be their objective voice. “My background is ministerial, but now I’m on the business side of things,” he said. “I was just in a position to be there for them during their time of need. It was kind of amazing. It just was meant to be. I can’t put it any other way. … So I canceled my schedule, and all I did was basically try to protect them from the media and all the outside noise. I said, `Let us take all that off your plate so you
can focus on your precious daughter, who is fighting for her life.’” In another stroke of fate, both Brendel and Dunkel had participated in an active-shooter drill the month before with local law enforcement, first responders and other agencies. “We essentially went through everything that happened a month later,” said Dunkel. “By the time Claire got there, everything was lined up and ready for her, which we felt good about, because we gave her the best chance we could.” Brendel said about 300 staffers attended a remembrance ceremony the hospital hosted for them on Jan. 3. “It profoundly affected the staff,” she said. “Even the kitchen staff did everything they could to make sure they had even the smallest comforts,” said Bob Lembke, a Davis family friend, recalling that they even made and delivered Christmas dinner for the family, all on their own time. Dunkel made special note of the nurses who tended to Claire on that first day. “People don’t realize what our nurses went through,” he said. “It’s a very difficult conundrum, pouring heart and soul into caring for the innocent victim, and the thought of having to give the same kind of care …,” he said, letting the sentence trail off. Lembke finished it for him. “...to the person who caused the harm. A life is irretrievably shattered, and, though they would have done it, imagine trying to save the person who did the shattering,” he said. It never came to that. Karl Pierson, a senior at Arapahoe High School, died in the school library from a self-inflicted gunshot wound less than two minutes after firing the shot that ultimately killed Claire Davis. She died on Dec. 21. After Brendel sent out the press release with that dev-

Lembke says Jason Dunkel, the director of business services at Littleton Adventist Hospital who served as a buffer between the Davis family and the onslaught of the outside world, played a key role in bringing the family to forgiveness as quickly as they were able. “My wife and I forgive Karl Pierson,” Michael Davis, Claire’s father, told the world on Jan. 1, during a memorial service at the National Western Stock Show Complex. Pierson is the student who shot Claire moments before killing himself in the Arapahoe High School library. It is with that attitude of grace that Dunkel, working with Michael and Desiree Davis and Lembke, conceived of Clarity Commons, a peaceful respite on the AHS campus that they hope to unveil on Claire’s birthday, Aug. 16, two days before school starts. Lembke stresses it will be a tribute to life, not a reminder of tragedy. “It should be about life and vitality and joy, and not about death. So this is not a memorial. We hope it’s a place of mindfulness, to ponder where you are, who you are, what’s your place in the cosmos. To be aware of the moment you’re in...” Claire is only mentioned by name once throughout the plaza, on a pillar with the following Ralph Waldo Emerson quote: “What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.” Littleton Public Schools donated an acre at University Boulevard and

will want to expand this program,” she told the board. In March, Melissa Cooper, director of special education, said rising numbers of behavioral issues in LPS reflect national statistics. The district had performed 79 suicide assessments at the time; in the full 2009-10 school year, that number
astating news, she got sympathy messages from reporters who were as upset as she was. “I had to try and separate my personal feelings from what I needed to do on behalf of Claire and her family,” she said. She said it’s still hard for her to drive past the school, but she and Dunkel have found some peace helping to make Clarity Commons a reality on its campus. They envision a quiet, reflective garden where students can find some solace. Lembke, too, is a driving force behind the project. “The group of people that coalesced was providential,” said Lembke. “You helped the Davis family get to the forgiveness condition as soon as they did.”

Littleton Adventist Hospital and its foundation kicked in $50,000 each, and another $75,000 has been raised from private donations. Local businesses are donating services, and Lembke hopes lots of people will take the opportunity to leave a message for the future by buying a brick paver for the walkway. “We’re really looking for members of the community to put their stamp on this place,” he said. “Kids hopefully will leave messages for others or for their future selves. … Every one of them, to some degree, has been changed by this. Some profoundly, some positively, some maybe not. It’s been a consistent drumbeat about how to deal with the worst side of life.” They hope Clarity Commons will be a place where kids can feel safe and at peace. “It would be great if kids could
have a place to go and have time out, almost like a mental-health checkup,” said Dunkel. “… It’s the beginning of good. It’s just the beginning. I think the Davises are going to have a lot to say at some point, so this is just a springboard. I think this project is helping get them through, and is part of how they’re maintaining. The fact that a silver lining even exists from this scenario is a miracle. But they’re trying to find all the good that can come from something so tragic.” Lembke believes that ultimately, Claire’s purpose in life might have been to get others to think, to love, to care, to forgive. “We want this to be a history lesson without being preachy, to say that tolerance and forgiveness is the normative expectation for an Arapahoe High School student,” he said. “It’s an attempt to connect with the future.” For more information or to purchase a brick, visit www.rmahf.org/ rmahf/claritycommons/.
was just 39. That year, eight students were screened after threatening harm to someone else; this year, there had already been 41 by March. Currently, there are only about 23 spots for psychologists throughout the district, and six for social workers. Plus, principals decide how their personnel budgets are distributed, so there’s no uniformity as to which school has which specialists. Cooper said in March that to establish equity, she’d like to assign funds specifically for mental-health
professionals in every school. She’d also like to expand programs that already exist, like the programs for kids who have been expelled or who are at risk of expulsion, and special education for kids with learning disabilities. There’s a practical side to investing in mental health, noted Cooper. “The more we affect the whole child, the better they’re going to do,” she said. “It impacts achievement.” The board will hold a public hearing and take its final vote on the 201516 budget on June 26.

Take some steps for uncommon results This is not a “hot off the press” news flash, but rather a simple yet powerful reminder: “Common sense is not always common practice.” You have certainly heard this before, and I have absolutely heard it myself and even repeated it in classroom training, keynote speeches, and from time to time have shared it in this column over the past few years. What I wanted to do in this column is take this principle to the next level. Recently I shared how important fundamentals are to success in both our personal and professional lives. However, now let’s talk about not just common sense, but those lesser-known best practices that actually deliver uncommon results. For a few of us, we are exactly where we want to be in life. We are settled, content, happy and may have no desire or need to look for anything that elevates or disrupts our splendid contentedness. Now for the rest of us who truly desire
“uncommon results,” we need to continue to follow the blocking and tackling fundamentals that have gotten us this far, but now we need to look beyond the basics and proven fundamentals and search out the advanced ideas and best practices to help propel us as we continue on the upward journey of our success. So where do we go or how do we search for those best practices that can add value to our lives? Here are three ideas that have helped me over the years and that you may also find useful and
It’s all in the teeth!

$50 billion fund would boost infrastructure Last month, I had the honor of attending the grand opening of Denver’s Union Station. The new transit hub pays homage not only to the miners and pioneers who — more than 150 years ago — envisioned our city’s bright future, but also to our parents and grandparents who had the foresight and generosity to build the highways, waterways and energy infrastructure that helped make the American economy the largest in the world. Unfortunately, we have not had the dignity to maintain the assets that they built for us, much less build the infrastructure our children will need to compete in a 21st-century economy. At a time when other nations are constructing cuttingedge road, rail, Internet and education capacity, our public infrastructure investment has dwindled to half of what it was 50 years ago. The Highway Trust Fund, the funding vehicle that pays for most of the bridge, highway and road construction in this country, is expected to run out of money this summer. Last year, the U.S. received a D-plus letter grade on the Infrastructure Report Card from the American Society of
Civil Engineers. To make matters worse, the bill that authorizes transportation projects called MAP-21, Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century, is set to expire September 30. It’s clear that we are falling woefully behind. We can and must do better. Rather than arguing over which party got us into this dire situation or pointing fingers at who’s to blame, some of us in Congress have been working on solutions. Here’s one that will help. Earlier this year, Republican Senator Roy Blunt and I introduced the Partnership to Build America Act. It establishes a $50 billion infrastructure fund to support Bennet continues on Page 7
help lead you to uncommon results. 1. Identify the person, group, or team that you believe excels in the area you are trying to advance in or improve. Upon connecting with them, invite them to coffee or arrange a call or meeting and just ask them what they have found to be the differentiators or best practices that have helped them to achieve uncommon results. You will be amazed to find out just how open and willing they will be to share their success story with you. 2. Get out of your comfort zone and try something new. Even as you are enjoying the benefits of your success or achievements, push yourself to try something new that will stretch you and push you to the next level. 3. Look for biographies, articles, stories, and case studies of people, companies, or groups that achieved greatness or exceeded expectations by doing something out of the norm or beyond common practices to realize uncommon
results. Again, if you are content and happy with where you are with the achievements of your goals and dreams, that is awesome. But if you have ever dreamed of going higher, further, or faster and truly desire more in the way of achieving uncommon results, apply all or at least one or two of the above best practices and see if you too can be one of those people whose achievements shout out “uncommon results.” Whether you are in the land of contentment or on the road to uncommon and better results, I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@gmail.com. And as we appreciate where we are or pursue uncommon results, it really will be a better than good week.

For a real good time, skip the good times One of my pet peeves is “pet peeves.” Is that fair? It’s kind of like saying that you are opposed to flavored coffee because it is flavored. I am opposed to flavored coffee because it is flavored. Coffee has to be black, and strong enough to clean my paint brushes. We begin to have dislikes at an early age. It probably starts with vegetables. Especially vegetables that have been turned into a pudding, like beets. I’m not sure what comes next. Being told to go to bed when you want to stay up. Getting dressed up on Sunday morning. Entertainment options were very limited when I was a kid. I don’t know what it would be like to have had a time limit on video games, because we didn’t have video games. We had Buffalo Bob Smith. Now I have more dislikes than likes. I admit it. No es bueno. But I know myself, and what is and isn’t beneficial. The Cheyenne Frontier Days would not be beneficial. It would do me harm. This year there is a double feature: Kid Rock and special guest Joan Jett and the Blackhearts on July 25. Tickets are $39. No thank you. I flew into LaGuardia a few years ago and waited for a cab right next to the Blackhearts’ gear. The girl I was with almost passed out, she was so thrilled. Joan has had quite a career. She had one big hit a long time ago, but she is still rocking. I don’t know anything about Kid

Rock, except that he is from Michigan, and that he is loyal to Michigan, which is fine with me. I was born in Michigan. The rodeo part of Frontier Days is something I couldn’t watch. I know that, so I know enough to stay away. I helped out at the Highlands Ranch Rodeo a few years ago, and said to myself, “Never again, Smith.” I have said “Never again, Smith,” many, many times. It means that I know better. When I was younger, I went where I didn’t belong, because I had an open mind. I no longer have an open mind. Chances are if there are people there, I am not there.

Babies on board at museum
MILESTONES Education
By Jennifer Smith
jsmith@colorado communitymedia.com Baby season has begun at Littleton Museum with the arrival of adorable twin lambs born on the morning of May 27, much to the surprise of elementary-school kids who happened to be visiting at the crucial moment. “We told them they didn’t have to watch, but they were OK with it,” said museum employee Sebastian Fritz. The mama sheep is very protective of her new little girls, herding them behind her and growling at visitors who linger too long. “Mom did a good job,” said Fritz. “Two is always a test.” Fritz said the lambs will get named once museum staff gets to know their personalities a little better. That’s how Matilda the pig got her name, too. She woke up from a deep sleep when she heard Fritz’s voice and lumbered over to him for some cuddle time. Though many of the farm’s pigs end up as somebody’s favorite breakfast meat, Matilda will be kept and bred. Though she’s just a year old herself, she will hopefully have her first litter of babies sometime in August. Another sure sign of spring is when Henry the peacock starts flashing his tail feathers for the peahens. He’s in full swing right now and will lose his longest and prettiest feathers soon, so an early morning visit to the chicken coop should be on Littleton residents’ to-do list soon.

hundreds of billions in loan guarantees and financing authority for state and local governments. The fund could be used to finance the construction of roads, highways, ports, canals, schools and other infrastructure projects — urgently needed projects like the Arkansas Valley Conduit in southeast Colorado or the widening of Interstate 25 north of Denver, to pick just two examples. The act would also encourage publicprivate partnerships, which will help stretch the fund’s financing to cover more high-priority projects. Even by the most conservative estimates, these projects would create thousands of jobs across the nation. The fund itself would not be created by taxpayers, but by U.S. companies. The act encourages businesses to contribute to the fund by creating an incentive to bring a limited amount of their earnings back to
hundreds of things in life that are worse, but not when it comes to my perception of a good time. You might be planning a surprise party right now. Good for you. People, other people, love them. That moment when your boyfriend walks in the door and his friends and marginal friends jump up and say, “Surprise!” and “Speech!” — now you’re talking. I went to one about 25 years ago, and the guest of honor almost walked. She was appalled. Later that night, she and her girlfriend had words. And they weren’t words of love.

the country from overseas. This bill is not a cure-all. It is not a permanent fix to the insolvency of the Highway Trust Fund, nor will it take the place of MAP-21, both important legislative vehicles that Congress needs to address in the next four months. Whether it’s an interchange reconstruction in El Paso County to improve traffic flow, or a road-widening project in Alamosa County to improve visitor access to the Great Sand Dunes, this bill will provide a valuable tool in the toolbox so that local mayors, county commissioners and city councilors don’t have to wait on a dysfunctional Washington to get moving on muchneeded infrastructure projects. As Denver’s Union Station shows, we’re a nation and a state that builds big things, and builds them to last. Each generation has labored to leave more behind for their kids. Ours should be no exception. This commonsense, bipartisan legislation will help us take a step in that direction. Democrat Michael Bennet has represented Colorado in the U.S. Senate since 2009.

NOW IS THE TIME TO PURCHASE A HOME OR REFINANCE! Erin Hedden writes a letter in her cell block at Pueblo County, Colo., jail on April 4. Hedden said she has bipolar disorder and used crystal methamphetamine to self-medicate after she lost her insurance and couldn’t afford medication to treat her illness.

Mentally ill add to jail populations State facilities offer few hospital beds By Kristin Jones
Rocky Mountain PBS I-News In unit 4C of the Pueblo County jail, any human presence draws inmates to the narrow windows of their solitary cells. They bark requests and complaints, or just grin and make small talk. One man’s ceiling is leaking; another wants to know how many more days he has left in segregation. “Ma’am, do you work here?” asks a tall African-American man with a steady, serious gaze, who wants to know when his glasses will be delivered. “I’m the warden, Darlene Alcala,” she replies to the man needing glasses. Alcala is small and elegant in black, and sports a friendly smile at odds with the cinderblock bleakness of the jail. “You can call me chief.” Though they live on opposite sides of the jail’s heavy doors, these two have come to see eye-to-eye on a crucial point: Inmates like him don’t belong here. The man has been in 23-hour-a-day lockdown for a year and a half. Like most of his fellow residents in what’s known as administrative segregation, he is mentally ill. Brief interactions with the staff are nearly the only contact he has with the world outside his cramped cell. As a shortage of funding has depleted options for those in need of treatment for mental illnesses, there’s still one place that can’t say no: jail. Inpatient psychiatric beds have dwindled to 1,093 for the state’s entire population, according to state human services data, a decrease of 20 percent from five years ago. People with mental illnesses are more than five times as likely to wind up in jail or prison. “Years ago we deinstitutionalized mental-health treatment,” says Boulder County Sheriff Joe Pelle. “People felt it was shameful that we had people in custody or locked up in mental health facilities. Now, instead, we lock them up in jail.” The burden on jails is growing. A 1992 jail survey found that 11 percent of Colorado inmates had a serious mental illness, according to research by Public Citizen’s Health Research Group and National Alliance for the Mentally Ill. This year, 10 county jails surveyed by I-News reported that, on average in 2013, 18 percent of their inmates were mentally ill. Sheriffs say the trend is noticeable from year to year. At the Douglas County jail, for example, the number of mentally ill inmates has grown 10 percent in the past three years, even as the general daily population has dropped 28 percent. Once they’re in, inmates with behavioral health problems have more trouble get-
ting out. The seven metro Denver counties in 2008 found that mentally ill inmates stayed an average of five times longer than other inmates. In Pueblo, an inmate detained for a misdemeanor stays an average of 28 days; mentally ill inmates jailed for similar offenses stay between 171 and 180 days. “Jails and prisons have become the warehouses for people who aren’t getting treated elsewhere,” says Attila Denes, a captain at the Douglas County jail. “It’s among the most expensive and least humane” ways to provide care. Solitary confinement is routine. Even as Colorado’s new state prison chief, Rick Raemisch, has pledged to remove mentally ill prisoners from isolation because of concerns that it is counterproductive and inhumane, jailers say they still use 23-hour lockdown to keep staff and other inmates safe. Denes, a student of history, sees patterns in American society’s treatment of people with mental illnesses. As early as the 1650s, the plight of so-called “lunatics” in prisons attracted a call to the colonial legislature to find alternative housing. “We’ve gone full circle,” says Denes. “We’re back today to where we were in the 1650s.”
Jail officers get training
The confinement of thousands of mentally ill Coloradans in jails and prisons can make a striking contrast with the sensibilities of the people whose job it is to confine them. Alcala first took a job as a receptionist at the Pueblo jail 30 years ago to get health insurance for her newborn son. Her ambition to become a deputy was stoked by a supervisor who told her she was hired “to look pretty and answer the phone.” It was in the 1990s that she became aware of the prevalence of mental illness in the jail; There was a woman who smeared feces on the wall, and an inmate who licked the floor. Alcala recalls that the detention officers had no real tools for handling what they simply saw as strange behavior. Alcala and other staff have worked to acquire the skills to communicate with inmates in the throes of a crisis. She enrolled in crisis intervention training eight years ago, says Alcala, adding: “I wish I’d had it 15 years earlier.” Sheriffs are increasingly enlisting mental health professionals to improve care for the mentally ill in jail, by training detention officers to communicate through a crisis and by offering therapy to inmates. John Parsons, who was released from the Pueblo jail in March, says he got help from a jail-based program called Moral Reconation Therapy — a type of cognitive Jail continues on Page 9

behavioral therapy — to handle his depression, anxiety and alcoholism. “MRT told me how to handle the stresses and pressures of life in the way normal people do,” Parsons said in April. Jagruti Shah runs the state’s offender mental health programs, overseeing a budget of about $2.7 million to help connect inmates with treatment for substance abuse and co-occurring mental health disorders. The programs run in 33 counties, reaching about 90 percent of the state’s jail population. Shah says the programs have had some success in treating inmates while they’re jailed. But the short-term stay of most inmates means they walk out with only a few days’ worth of medication. Outside, care can be hard to come by — both before and after incarceration. “Quite often people don’t have the opportunity to engage in these treatment programs until they hit the front door of the jails,” says Denes. Pueblo inmate Erin Hedden says she tried. After symptoms of bipolar disorder emerged when she was 28 years old, Hedden was prescribed a laundry list of drugs. Each one failed until she found a combination that worked: Prozac and Zyprexa. But when she left a job as a nursing assistant to work on her mother’s ranch, Hedden lost her insurance. At $1,000 a month, the medication was out of reach. It took three months for the symptoms of mania to resurface, and Hedden says she sought refuge in crystal methamphetamine. Three years later, Hedden is in jail on a four-year sentence for drugged driving. She was behind the wheel in a crash that killed Linda Sue Sublett, a 69-year-old woman she never met. The county now pays for her Prozac and Zyprexa.
Hospital beds dwindle
Two miles northwest of the jail, on a road spiked with wind-driven tumbleweed, is the campus of the Colorado Mental Health Institute at Pueblo, one of only two state psychiatric hospitals.
Beds at the state hospitals have disappeared steadily even as Colorado’s population has boomed, the victim of federal and state budget cuts and a change in philosophy that emphasized removing people from institutions. In 1980, there were 1,103 public psychiatric beds in Colorado; in 2014, there are 553, many of them earmarked for those charged with or convicted of crimes. Pueblo Sheriff Kirk Taylor says the state psychiatric hospital sends its patients to the jail when they lash out or act violently, including people who have previously been found not guilty by reason of insanity. At the same time, Taylor and other county jail officials complain that the state hospitals frequently turn away inmates who have been put on emergency mentalhealth holds for posing a danger to themselves or others. “These people don’t need to be in jail,” says Taylor. “They need to be in a therapeutic community.” Bill May, who heads the state hospital in Pueblo, believes it’s appropriate for some of the hospital’s patients to be arrested and sent to jail if they commit a crime while stable in treatment. Meanwhile, state psychiatric hospitals can’t receive people on mental-health holds unless they’ve been treated and cleared first for any physical problems, says Dr. Patrick Fox, a Colorado Department of Human Services official who oversees the hospitals. He suggests taking inmates to the emergency room. At issue, in part, is the question of who bears the high costs of housing mentally ill inmates. Psychotropic medications, additional security and lengthier stays all add to the costs. A seven-county study in the metro Denver area found the cost of accommodating seriously mentally ill inmates to be around $44.7 million a year in 2010, up from $36.5 million in 2006. Costs haven’t declined since then, and are likely to have increased, says Regina Huerter, the director of Denver’s Crime Prevention and Control Commission. The influx of ill inmates has contributed to overcrowding in Boulder, say jail officials there. Boulder is reconfiguring its cells to expand the special management unit where mentally ill inmates are housed. But that means taking space from other areas, says Division Chief Bruce Haas. In Denver, the construction of a new jail in 2010 took into account the extra medical
resources and supervision demanded by an increasingly ill population, says Sheriff Gary Wilson. Like the homeless, mentally ill inmates often have trouble meeting judges’ standards for bail, which take into account qualifications such as stable housing, employment and family support, says state public defender Douglas Wilson. This is despite the fact that their crimes may be low-level offenses. “The reality is, most of the time what we’re talking about is trespasses, the guy who roller-skated into somebody’s garage because he thought it was a roller rink, public urination,” says Wilson. Denver recently found that the 99 people most frequently jailed for low-level offenses had a high rate of mental illness — around 35 percent. They were also frequently homeless and addicted to alcohol or drugs, adding to the complexity of treating them. Some get into more trouble behind bars, committing crimes that lengthen their stays, says Sheriff David Walcher in Arapahoe County. “They commit crimes on the inside; there are assaults on staff. They tend to get more charges when they’re in jail,” says Walcher. “They’re a more challenging population overall.”
Local Focus
From their stark walls to their locked doors to their narrow, light-deprived spaces, jails are meant to confine criminals, not promote recovery. “There’s nothing soft about what we do,” says Alcala. “We’re built for offenders.” Hedden has sharp memories of her episodes in 23-hour lockdown. The 35-yearold inmate, who is being treated for social anxiety and depression along with bipolar disorder, says her last 12-day stay there led her to a breakdown. “All day long it’s a cacophony of voices, of screams, of shouting,” says Hedden. “There is no human interaction except for what’s between you and the guard, and who you can yell at next door through the wall. The loneliness is overwhelming. I get a sense of intense anxiety like I just want to claw at the door. I just want to get out. I would do anything to get out. I beg to get out.” A growing understanding of what it means to isolate people who have mental illnesses is leading to changes in the state

prison system. When former prisoner Evan Ebel shot dead prison chief Tom Clements last year, the incident raised questions about Ebel’s time in solitary confinement and his direct release into the community. Clements’ replacement, Raemisch, has criticized the overuse of solitary confinement nationwide, and has pledged to stop placing mentally ill inmates in administrative segregation. And the state legislature recently passed a bill — now pending Gov. John Hickenlooper’s signature — banning longterm solitary confinement for seriously mentally ill prisoners. But 23-hour lockdown is still widely used as a tool to control mentally ill inmates in jails. Jailers in Douglas County, Arapahoe County, Boulder, Pueblo and elsewhere say they try to minimize the use of it, but none said they were considering doing away with it. “Most jails are pretty close to full if not overflowing,” says Denes, in Douglas County. “Sometimes when you have people classified as dangerous offenders and you have people packed into a housing unit, the reason that you use (23-hour lockdown) is to prevent victimization of inmates from other inmates.”
The best hope for cutting the costs of jailing mentally ill inmates may be to keep them out of jail in the first place. Some jurisdictions have built mental health courts — also called wellness courts — intended to divert people from jail to treatment. Some, like Denver, are pushing to enroll inmates in health insurance so they can get the care they need once they leave jail. The state’s flagship project for improving mental health treatment — a planned network of crisis centers, now stalled amid a lawsuit — may help direct people to settings more appropriate than jail, says human services official Fox. For now, Colorado’s jailers and their inmates are stuck dealing the best way they can with a broken system.

Lone Tree diners get a LYFE New restaurant offers healthy options for variety of diets By Jane Reuter jreuter@coloradocommunitymedia.com The people behind Lone Tree’s newest restaurant, LYFE Kitchen, believe their business is about more than food. It’s about helping the country turn its eating habits down a healthier path. “We believe we’re part of a movement,” said the company’s chief brand and communications officer, Mike Donahue, who spoke at the restaurant’s May 28 soft opening. “We believe we’re a campaign without an election date. We believe we’re out there to make a difference.” LYFE, which opens officially on June 6 in Park Meadows shopping center, raises the concept of healthy eating to new levels. Its name, an acronym for Love Your Food Every Day, sums up its aspirations. Each entrée contains 600 calories or less and includes 1,000 milligrams or less of sodium, with an emphasis on locally sourced food. It offers entrees for those on vegetarian, vegan
Diners sample food at the new LYFE restaurant at Park Meadows shopping center during the May 28 grand opening. Photo by Jane Reuter and gluten-free diets. Meat lovers need not despair: Fish, chicken, sausage and even bison also are wellrepresented the menu. Launched in 2011 by Mike Roberts — the former McDonald’s executive who helped introduce apples to Happy Meals — LYFE operates on the concept that food can taste great, and be healthy and affordable. Its website lists six operating restaurants, including Lone Tree’s, but it’s on a fast growth track. A Boulder restaurant will open in the fall, and company plans call for
a total of 250 sites in the next few years. It’s got the backing of some big names, including Oprah Winfrey’s former personal chef Art Smith, who acts as executive chef. Lone Tree LYFE owners DJ and Rachel Mitchell share the LYFE company roots; the two previously owned McDonald’s restaurants in Alamosa, Colorado Springs and Lone Tree. Rachel admits she was hesitant when an enthusiastic DJ first told her about the LYFE concept. She had never tasted quinoa until
she sampled LYFE’s quinoa crunch wrap. “It’s intimidating, I find, to cook with quinoa and kale, to substitute (other ingredients) for butter and it still tastes good,” she said. “They found the secret.” Kitchen manager Zach Gart, a recent graduate of University of Denver, shares the company’s dedication to nutritious food. Originally trained in a more traditional style of cooking that emphasized the use of butter and cream, Gart realized that wasn’t consistent with his own lifestyle. LYFE’s menu is. “Not only is the food absolutely delicious, it’s pure fuel,” Gart said. “It’s what your body needs to keep operating the best it possibly can.” Sample menu items include roasted mushroom and goat cheese flatbread, squash lemongrass soup, grass-fed burgers and steaks, roasted salmon, tomato and fennel, flavored waters, smoothies and fresh-squeezed juice. Wine and beer, including four Colorado craft beers, also are on the menu. In a nod to Colorado, the menu also includes bison tacos. One wall is dedicated to a massive John Fielder landscape, and both a table and the facade on the outside patio are made of bee-
tle-kill pine. The Mitchells, Gart and Donahue were among a team who participated in the May 28 “sprout cutting,” an event unique to LYFE, during which staffers celebrate a restaurant’s
opening by cutting a string of Brussels sprouts and peppers. “I feel humble at the vision of the brand,” DJ said. “It’s just such a beautiful thing, what we’re trying to accomplish.”

Weight-loss season gets glitzy kickoff The fourth season of ABC’s reality series “Extreme Weight Loss” debuted May 27 with a red-carpet reception at The United Artists Denver Pavilions Theatre downtown. Charita, the Colorado Springs contestant, was guided on her yearlong weightloss journey by Anschutz Health and Wellness Center’s Dr. Holly Wyatt along with other participants who spent the first three months of their quest at the center in Aurora. Wyatt, alongside fitness specialist Chris Powell, was the guiding force behind steering participants toward their yearlong goal of safely losing up to half their body weight. ABC will air 13 two-hour episodes of the hit show locally from 7 to 9 p.m. Tuesdays on Channel 7. Charita, who is featured with Oklahoma resident Ty in the first episode, and Wyatt attended the red-carpet premiere along with more than 200 community and Anschutz medical campus leaders and CEO/executive producer JD Roth. During the run of the show, Wyatt is writing a blog at www.thedenverchannel. com/entertainment/extreme-weightloss-medical-director-holly-wyatt-blogsabout-charita-ty-weight-loss-journey.

Greenwood Village show highlights works of area painters By Sonya Ellingboe
sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia. com “Four Perspectives” is an exhibit of artworks by four experienced area painters: Lora Witt, Peggy Judy, Martha Hepperd and Victoria Ekelund. It will be displayed through June 27 at Elements 5280 Gallery in Greenwood Village. An opening reception is planned from 6 to 8 p.m. June 6, where visitors can meet the artists. “The concept behind the exhibition was to showcase these talented artists whose work is so different from one another. And it’s this diversity in how each artist executes their work that has shaped a strong show,” said gallery director George Rentz. The subject matter may overlap, but method and approach make each artist unique as they produce intimate landscapes, contemporary Western images, watercolor batik and urban plein air landscapes/cityscapes. Witt grew up in Colorado with a deep interest in the natural world — Western botany and geology. She received her training at Colorado State University, the University of Denver and the Art Students League of
Denver. Her website says: “The mundane part of nature that shies from notice; given a second glance presents its beauty. This is what I paint.” Peggy Judy, a Colorado native, started painting as a child and continued through her high school and college years, when she attended Colorado State University, where she concentrated on illustration. Judy, who lives in Broomfield, is married to an equine veterinarian and raises, breeds, trains and sells warmblood sport horses. Her paintings reflect her interest in horses and wildlife. Victoria Ekelund of Denver describes herself as an oil painter and impressionist painter who specializes in cityscapes, still life, figurative works and landscape paintings. She also accepts commissions to portray a special place, person or pet from photographs. “When I create a piece of art, I first block in large basic shapes. Then I look for where I want movement within the piece, where I want my viewer to go,” she writes. Dr. Martha Heppard, of Centennial, who paints in a complex watercolor batik technique on rice paper, grew up in Honolulu and attended Harvard for undergraduate study and University of California School of Medicine and UC-Irvine. In 2004, she began to study oil painting with Molly Davis and then watercolor with Rick Brogan. She has added Boris Shoshensky and Kevin Weckbach as instructors and currently teaches the watercolor batik technique to others.
“That Far Off Day,” painted by Lora Witt, will be included in “Four Perspectives,” an exhibit at Elements 5280 Gallery through June 27.
if you go Elements 5280 Gallery is located at 5940 S. Holly St., in the shopping center at Holly and Orchard. It is open Tuesdays through Fridays from 10:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Saturdays from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. 303-804-5280, elements5280.com.
Thrillist (www.thrillist.com), a national website that has an opinion on all things food and drink-related in the U.S., has bestowed “bests” to three Denver eateries. Included in The 21 Best Southern Restaurants Outside of the South is Tom’s Home Cookin’, 800 E. 26th Ave., a Denver favorite for Southern fare. Thrillist recommends the fried catfish paired with green beans and fried okra. “The name here says it all — this is home cooking, and even if you’ve never met Tom, you’ll be begging to be adopted so you can inhale this instead of whatever you’re hacking at your house.” Sweet Action Ice Cream, 52 Broadway, was included in Thrillist’s 21 Best Ice Cream Shops in America. Here’s the scoop: “What you’re ordering: Pocky and Red Bean if you’re feeling interesting, Milk Chocolate if you’re feeling boring. Our man in Denver tried every single one of the flavors at Sweet Action, and, although he didn’t care much for vegan Maple Walnut or Vanilla Rose, he can vouch for nearly every other flavor as being worth at least several samples. But as sexy as Salted Malt Butterscotch and Cinnamon Roll sound, the champion of the taste was a simple milk chocolate described as `a scoop of goodness ...’” If you prefer drinking your calories instead of eating them, check out Williams & Graham, 3160 Tejon St., the Denver speakeasy that made Thrillist’s The 33 Best Cocktail Bars in America. “A cocktail-themed bookstore is the front for this barely-lit speakeasy coowned by a guy named the 2014 Bartender of the Year by the Nightclub and Bar Awards.

‘Music Man’ delights on Town Hall stage Willson classic presented in cheerful production By Sonya Ellingboe
sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia. com As lights go up on Town Hall Arts Center’s production of “The Music Man,” a group of traveling salesmen are seated on a jerky train and a near-perfect rendition of Meredith Willson’s classic “Rock Island” has the audience at the start: “Ya gotta know the territory …” Director Christopher Willard has each actor sit on a suitcase and jiggle with the train’s motion as we meet Professor Harold Hill’s nemesis — Charlie Cowell, the anvil salesman (Ed Hickok). Town Hall alumnus Chris Boeckx, a Lit-
tleton native, who often performed at the city’s Town Hall center in the past, is now a practicing attorney and has returned with a nice sense of humor intact, to play the wannabe con man who “gets his foot caught in the door” when he falls for Miss Marian Paroo, the town’s savvy librarian/ piano teacher. Maggie Sczekan’s trained voice soars as Marian. She harmonizes with the music man, the omnipresent quartet (the school board) and others. As the folks of River City, Iowa, filter onstage for a July Fourth celebration, one is immediately impressed by Cindy Franke’s costumes in a dazzling assortment of black and white patterns and fabrics — really a clever way to present a pretty-much unified group of upright citizens. In Act II, color appears as the climate changes. Mayor Shinn (Bryan Walker-Smith) is given to malapropisms throughout and is
making the first of many attempts to recite Lincoln’s famous address: “Four score …” At his side is the colorful Eulalie Shinn — comedienne LuAnn Buckstein is a natural fit here. His honor is trying to keep track of daughter Zaneeta (Erica Lloyd — “Ye Gods!”), who has her eye on live-wire local boy Tommy Diljas (Carter Edward Smith). The parallel story of Marian’s family blends in: Nancy E. Harris portrays her widowed Irish mama, who wants to see her married, and Carter Novinger of Littleton is appealing little brother Winthrop, who longs for a cornet when Hill proposes a brass band for town kids — “(Ya Got) Trouble” right here in River City … Hill’s image of “76 trombones” intrigues many in town, although some are unsure of his “think method” of learning music (“you don’t bother with the notes”). Kelly Kate’s choreography, most espe-
IF YOU GO “The Music Man” plays at Town Hall Arts Center, 2450 W. Main St. in Littleton, through June 15. Performances: 7:30 p.m. Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays; 2 p.m. Sundays; and 6:30 p.m. on June 8. (No Saturday performance on June 14 due to the Littleton Block Party.) Tickets: $20-$40, 303-794-2787, ext. 5, or townhallartscenter.com. cially the scene at the library — but also for the Pickalittle Ladies and others — is charming and in some cases remarkably complex, given the stage space. Willson’s familiar score and a nostalgia for summers past — did they ever really exist? — combine to deliver a most pleasant evening of theater, with a polished, skillfully directed production that sends one out with a smile.

SALOME’S STARS FOR THE WEEK OF JunE 2, 2014
ARIES (Mar 21 to Apr 19) There’s nothing an Aries Lamb likes less than having to tackle a humdrum task. But finding a creative way to do it can make all the difference. A more exciting time awaits you this weekend. TAURUS (Apr 20 to May 20) Finishing up a job on time leaves you free to enjoy your weekend without any Taurean guilt pangs. A romantic attitude from an unlikely source could take you by surprise. GEMINI (May 21 to Jun 20) Moving in a new career direction might be seen by some as risky. But if you have both the confidence to see it through and the facts to back you up, it could prove rewarding.

CANCER (Jun 21 to Jul 22) Holding back on a decision might be difficult, considering how long you’ve waited for this opportunity. But until you’re able to resolve all doubts, it could be the wiser course to take. LEO (Jul 23 to Aug 22) You still need to move carefully where financial matters are concerned. Better for the Lion to move slowly than pounce on a “promising” prospect that doesn’t keep its promises. VIRGO (Aug 23 to Sept 22) A rejection of an idea you believe in can be upsetting. But don’t let it discourage you. Get yourself back on track and use what you’ve learned from the experience to try again. LIBRA (Sept 23 to Oct 22) The early part of the week could find you looking to balance your priorities between your family obligations and your career responsibilities. Pressures begin to ease by week’s end. SCORPIO (Oct 23 to nov 21)An associate’s problem could cause unavoidable delays in moving ahead with your joint venture. If so, use the time to look into another project you had previously set aside. SAGITTARIUS (nov 22 to Dec 21) Although a financial problem could be very close to being resolved in your favor, it’s still a good idea to avoid unnecessary spending for at least a little while longer. CAPRICORN (Dec 22 to Jan 19) Support for some unwelcome workplace decisions begins to show up, and continues to build, so that by week’s end, the gregarious Goat is as popular as ever. AQUARIUS (Jan 20 to Feb 18) Congratulations. Deciding to attend a social function you might have earlier tried to avoid could turn out to be one of the best decisions you’ve made in a long time. PISCES (Feb 19 to Mar 20) Getting into a new situation could prove to be a more difficult experience than you expected. Don’t hesitate to ask for advice in coping with some of the more irksome challenges. BORN THIS WEEK: Your strong sense of duty makes you a valued and trusted member of your community.

Panda saga comes to screen in 3-D National Geographic film shown at museum By Sonya Ellingboe
sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia.com Starting on June 6, the Denver Museum of Nature & Science will present a new National Geographic nature film, “Pandas: The Journey Home,” which sounds like a fine way to start a summer vacation focused on exploration. It tells a hopeful story of the effort to save these charismatic creatures, which are extremely endangered, with only “Pandas: The Journey about 1600 left worldwide. Home” will be shown at 11:30 The film, directed by Nichoa.m. and 3 p.m., with adlas Brown, was shot in China at ditional shows at 7 p.m. on the Bifengxia Panda Base and Fridays and Saturdays, at the the Wolong National Nature Denver Museum of Nature & Reserve — in 3-D, which made Science, 2001 Colorado Blvd., shooting terribly difficult, due Denver. For ticket prices and to the weight of the cameras. other details, visit dmns.org/ After decades of successful imax/current-films. (One can captive breeding, the reserve purchase film-only tickets or has hit a target of 300 giant a combination that includes a pandas. The next step is to remuseum visit.) introduce breeding animals to the wild in the reserve. The 40-minute film, presented by National Geographic Entertainment, was made after the filmmakers were given access to the Wolong National Nature Reserve, with the support of the Chinese Wildlife Conservation Association and the China Conservation and Research Center for the Giant Panda. It can be hoped that this success story provides a model for other megafauna threatened by man-made factors: expansion and habitat destruction. Perhaps other governments will be inspired by the Chinese example. Filmmakers recorded birth, nursery care and teaching of panda cubs and were granted special permission to record the release of Tao Tao, a panda bred in captivity, and to follow a group of wild pandas in their mountain habitat. Director Nicholas Brown (a Colorado native who lives in London) compared the Chinese efforts to save the panda to the space program in scope and expense. In China, the panda is the symbol for the whole environment. “When you save the panda, you’re saving a vast amount of old-growth forest and bamboo forest ecosystems in the Sichuan Province, which is the place known to be the cleanest and environmentally pristine. Saving the panda means waters will run clean again and wildlife will thrive. That’s all being done under the banner of the panda,” he said. The Chinese professor leading the program, Zhang Hemin, is affectionately known as “Panda Papa.” His advice helped the American crew navigate political niceties on several occasions. Doors were opened when the project associated with the China Wildlife Conservation Association. The production crew took three trips to China, starting in August 2012 when they filmed newborn pandas, weighing in at only 90 grams. They returned to shoot 3- or 4-month-old pandas and again when the animals were moved to semiwild enclosures and left alone to learn how to be wild again. Documenting the apparently successful release of Tao Tao into the wild was “a profound moment in conservation history,” Brown said. “Conservation is usually about trying not to make things worse. Here, for the first time, was an opportunity to make things better. It could be seen as the moment when the tide turned.” It is noted that the film is more than a family-friendly entertainment about cuddly pandas. This positive story has optimistic and surprising ramifications for conservation and the planet.

Lions get early football test Littleton linemen shine at Englewood competition, winning hog relay events By Tom Munds
tmunds @coloradocommunitymedia.com Littleton’s team filled the air with pigskins instead of horsehides as they joined the May 31 field at the annual Pirate 7-on-7 football tournament and hog relays. “This is the first time we have been together as a football team since last fall,” Lions coach Kurt Krantz said as he watched his team play. “A number of last year’s key players graduated but we do have 15 seniors back, including four guys who were starters to provide leadership plus a good group of young kids coming in. This is a good way to see how we shape up against other teams.” The May 31 events were part of the Lions’ summer football program. Littleton is conducting the two-week camp permitted by the state that includes full-contact competition. The Lions wrap up their practices June 6 when they are at Littleton High School Stadium to scrimmage Englewood and Jefferson. The scrimmages begin at 5:30 p.m. They are open to the public and there is no charge for admission. On May 31, there were 15 teams involved in the day’s activities, which included two very different competitions. The Lions quarterbacks, running backs, receivers, linebackers and defensive backs competed against other teams in 7-on-7 play. In 7-on-7, the only way to move the ball is to complete a pass and gain yardage after the catch. There is no pass rush but the quarterback has to throw the ball within five seconds or the play is over. Touch football rules apply as defenders try to keep the opponent from getting a first down or scoring. Joey Dennan called the signals in the game against Denver West. He connected with receivers on short, crossing routes to move the ball into position and to score a touchdown. The 15 teams at the 7-on-7 event were divided into three pools of five teams each. Each team played each opponent in the pool. The teams with the top records in pool play advanced to the playoffs to determine the event champion. The Lions were 2-2 in pool play but didn’t make it into the tournament. However, they did very well in the other competition called the hog relays, where offensive and defensive linemen competed in physical challenges such as pulling a driving sled and flipping a heavy truck tire down the field. Lion lineman Tyler Woodward’s face was streaked with sweat as he lifted and flipped the big tire again and again. The battle for first place came down to a tug-of-war between the Lions and Columbine. Littleton won the tug-of-war and first
Teammates cheer on Littleton’s Tyler Woodard as he flips a heavy truck tire down the field during the May 31 hog relays at Englewood High School. Hog relays are a series of physical challenges for offensive and defensive linemen. Fifteen schools participated in the competition, but the Lions claimed the championship, besting Columbine in a tug-of-war. Photos by Tom Munds place in the hog relays. “This event comes as a good time as it is midway through our two-week summer camp,” the coach said. “The full-contact camp is good because it gets kids thinking about football as the summer gets started.” Coach Krantz said he and his staff are focused on working to have the Lions football team show improvement each season. “We have been getting better. For example, last season we were 4-6 but we were in every game we played,” he said. “I believe that helps bring attention to the program and encourages athletes to join our teams. Last year, we had a total of 15 freshman sign up. This year we have 45 signed up and 35 are attending our camp. That means we’ll have our freshmen on the freshman team instead of having some of them have to do double duty on the freshman and JV teams.” He said he also wants to build pride and tradition in Lion football. “I would like former Littleton players to come back, visit us and, if they want to, help us,” Krantz said. “We want the former players to talk about their days playing Lion football and help our current kids learn about the pride and history of our program.” Krantz said former players can call him at 303-210-9515 or email him at ccha1975@ live.com.

Practice makes perfect for Highlands Ranch swimmer Mueller’s two state titles earn him honors as south metro’s best of spring By Jim Benton jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia. com Highlands Ranch graduating senior Nathan Mueller worked all season to make sure he was ready to meet all the challenges and challengers in the 200and 500-yard freestyle races at the Class 5A Boys Colorado State Swimming Championships. “Nathan started the season very focused,” said Highlands Ranch head coach Christina Kwon. “He requested, if possible, that I put him in the 200 freestyle and
500 freestyle for every meet. He wanted to really be prepared to win by the time we got to state. “Although Nathan has always been a very strong and dedicated swimmer, he spent his senior season working on pacing correctly and sharpening his turns in order to be the best.” Mueller was the best in the May 17 state finals, winning state championships in both events with All-American times. He touched up in 1 minute, 38.26 seconds in the 200 and 4:27.41 in the 500. For that dedication and excellence, he has been selected as the Colorado Community Media South Metro Boys Swimmer of the Year. “The 500 freestyle is such a mental race,” he said. “I just thought if I swam it a bunch I would be more comfortable mentally with it. I’d have much different race strategies to go after by practicing it
a lot.” Mueller, bound for the University of Wisconsin, didn’t sneak up on anyone this year as he carried the top Class 5A times in the 200 and 500 freestyles into the state meet. “I went in with the mindset of being real confident in myself and knowing that I could do it,” he said. “It was kind of the mental state I put myself in that I didn’t leave any room for doubt. That’s what I had to do in order to win. Every time you get behind the blocks there is always a little nervousness. I just took a deep breath, got up on the block and went. “It was a lot of fun to end my high school career like that winning two state titles. The swimming season as a whole was a fun experience to finish high school with people I really like and enjoy, and doing the sport I love.”

jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com Jack Griffin looks like a typical junior at Ponderosa High School. On the lacrosse field, he plays like a creature from Greek mythology, at least according to the announcers of one particular opponent. During Ponderosa’s semifinal game against Steamboat Springs May 14, Griffin scored seven goals and added an assist in a 17-13 victory. Steamboat announcers referred to Griffin as a “mythological beast.” The game could also be viewed on the Steamboat Radio website, and Griffin tuned in to the broadcast after the game to watch it. “I laughed at that,” he said. “I thought it was funny. I watched that whole broadcast of the game and they were calling everybody on both teams funny names like that.” There was nothing funny about Griffin being named the Colorado Community Media South Metro boys lacrosse Player of the Year, however. Griffin scored 57 goals for the Class 4A state champion Mustangs and dished out 38 assists for a season total of 95 points. He was second among Class 4A players in points and groundballs (140). He was third in goals, fourth in assists and fourth in face-off percentage (.667). “Jack is a phenomenal lacrosse player and athlete,” said Ponderosa coach Patrick Tierney. “Achieving a high rank in scoring from the midfield position, on top of being one of the best face-off guys in the state, makes him an extremely dangerous player. “Teams prepare to try to stop him, but he trusts his teammates to finish goals which significantly contributed to the success of our team. As a coach I am continually impressed with his talent and athleticism but it is his love and passion for the game that elevates him as one of the best lacrosse players in the state.” Griffin admits he had trouble giving up the ball before this season. “I had a good year,” he said. “I led the team in assists and that was the biggest part for me making myself better this year. Last year and my freshman year I didn’t have as many assists and I probably could have. “I took more shots and held onto the ball when I could have passed it. This year I had my head up better and move it around better.” Moving the ball around was no easy adjustment for Griffin. “At first it was difficult but once I noticed the right moments to be moving the ball around, it not only helped my team score more by getting other players goals but it also freed me up more because they were more worried about other players being scoring threats and not just me,” he said. Griffin will be playing for the Denver Elite club team this summer and hopes to improve on his face-off techniques. “I’m going to try to get better on face offs this summer,” Griffin said. “Usually I don’t take very many of them in the club season. Every summer we play in a very high level in the tournaments we go to with Denver Elite so hopefully I can get a few more face offs to help my game there.”

If you’ve been thinking about continuing your education, we’re about to make it a lot easier.
