Riding in possibly the coolest float in the entire parade, a trio of Western Welcome Week fans beat the heat with popsicles as they make their way along the parade route, on Aug. 17 in downtown Littleton.
Downright GranD With horses, tractors, fire engines, marching bands and classic cars, the 85th annual Western Welcome Week Grand Parade made its way through downtown Littleton on Aug. 17. With a tip of the hat to the past and a nod to the future, approximately 125 entries moseyed their way down Main Street to crowds stacked three and four deep. As the parade concluded, Main Street opened up for an afternoon of shopping, food and activities.

County approves pipeline segment Liquid natural gas to travel 13 miles along Manila Road By Deborah Grigsby
dgrigsby@ourcoloradonews.com As early as next month, work will begin on a 13-mile natural gas pipeline that will cut through a small section of Arapahoe County. The Board of County Commissioners unanimously approved a land-use permit Aug. 13, allowing construction of a portion of the larger Front Range Pipeline that stretches from Weld County to Skellytown, Texas. Commissioners granted Front Range Pipeline LLC — a partnership between Anadarko Petroleum, Enterprise Products Partners and Denver-based DCP Midstream — a special use permit that would allow the 16-inch steel vessel to be built along a section of Manila Road. According to the application, the pipeline would enter the Arapahoe County east of the metro area and then travel south along Manila Road into the far western corner of Elbert County. However, the county has placed 19 special conditions on the permit, some of which include limiting the hours of op-
‘Pipelines create jobs, infrastructure and tax revenue, and are a safe alternative for transporting energy resources.’ Arapahoe County Commissioner Nancy Sharpe eration, settlement of an easement agreement, a maintenance agreement for private roads impacted and assurance that construction will only take place where homeowners have signed an easement. “The Front Range Pipeline is important to the continued growth and prosperity of Colorado’s economy,” said Arapahoe County Commissioner Nancy Sharpe. “Pipelines create jobs, infrastructure and tax revenue, and are a safe alternative for transporting energy resources.” According to the county, easements have been signed by most homeowners in Arapahoe County impacted by the construction of the pipeline. All properties in the construction area are zoned A-1 (agriculture). Once the pipeline passes through Arapahoe County, it will continue southeast until it reaches Skellytown, Texas, where it will be sent on to refineries. The pipeline can carry an average of
150,000 barrels of liquid per day, but can accommodate up to 230,000 barrels daily. The pipeline is designed to carry natural gas liquids, including butane, propane and ethane. The expected completion date for the pipeline is sometime within the fourth quarter of this year. Front Range Pipeline LLC has already received approval for construction of the 435-mile pipeline from Weld County, Elbert and El Paso County. Citing improvements in safety and production best practices, Sharpe told residents at a July town hall meeting that said she is confident with how the county has laid out expectations for oil and gas operations, particularly when it comes to things like spills. “The smallest of spills must be mitigated,” explained Sharpe. “Even a spill the size of a water glass is still considered a spill and must be reported to the state.”
Centennial voters are going to be busy this November. Not only are they going to elect a mayor and four new councilmembers, but they will also be deciding on whether or not the city can leverage an existing fiber optic network to provide Internet and cable services. In a unanimous vote Aug. 19, the city council approved ballot language asking residents to consider authorizing it to use the readily available capacity of more than 40 miles of cable to provided enhanced telecom services. “Senate Bill 05-152 expressly allows and authorizes local governments to go to the voters to restore the powers that were taken from us by the state legislature in their rejection of our ability to use public facilities to provide services — Internet, telecom and cable,” said City Attorney Bob Widner. “And much can be done to debate how those services might be provided, but the first step is quest is whether we can provide those services and eliminate the hurdle that is Senate Bill 152.” Wider said placing the question on the ballot takes that first step. “It is not intended to set a business plan or dictate how services might be provided or how to enhance quality or increase competition among services,” he said. Kenneth Grandville, who owns a Centennial-based technology company, supports the move, saying that competitive pricing is the key to embracing the next big thing. And that next big thing, according to Grandville, is Internet-based television. “Interactive television is here and it will place big demands on our infrastructure,” he said. “Broadcast and Internet television will create an explosion in demand that, to some, will be the equivalent of trying to squeeze an elephant through a soda straw.” But not everyone sees the city’s proposal in the same light. AT&T Colorado President Bill Soards cautioned city council during a public hearing that, historically, municipal fiber optic networks have been “less than successful.” Soards pointed out that his company has invested millions of dollars in the Denver area, including Centennial, and sees the city’s plan as a competitive threat, based on the ballot language. “It seems to me that you don’t want to get into the business directly, but it’s the indirect that concerns me. And the thought that a company could come forward and lease your network, or be given your network for a dollar such as Google has done in Provo, Utah, recently, or really low market prices, is a competitive threat, not just to me, but to the other providers Ballot continues on Page 9

Go ahead, help make someone’s day They stand on a corner, three teenage girls in colorful summer dresses, their hands held high and clutching posterboards in neon green and pink scrawled with cheery messages: “Find the good.” “Smile - U - matter.” “Stay positive.” “Honk if you’re happy.” And many drivers do, creating an intermittent cacophony of horns of varying timbres and tempos. The girls respond with wide smiles and spirited fist pumps. Kinzi Kuhloie gives a thumbs-up as one driver leans on the horn repeatedly in a long series of honks. “Yeah!” she says excitedly. “They’re really pumped!” Kinzi is 17 and she’s been sign-holding, as she calls it, for two years. Her motivation is uncomplicated. “Life can get overwhelming and so many things can build up that you don’t find the good,” she says. “This reminds you to look for the good . . . and remember that it’s there.” Kinzi and her friends, Alyssa Hayne, 16, and Emily VonDongen, 19, have hit the streets in Highlands Ranch with their signs about twice a week this summer. The positive response, they say, keeps them coming back. “We’re making people happy,” Alyssa says, “one sign at a time.”
•••
Kinzi, Alyssa and Emily are part of a growing grassroots crusade to spread positive thinking. She got the idea from a good friend, a student at Mesa State University in Grand Junction, who started a club to promote positivity by holding signs. In Anacortes, Wash., in May 2012, the Happiness Sprinkling Project was born when people gathered at a popular intersection and held signs saying “You are loved” and “Yes oh Yes.” The move-
SAU 2x2
ment to “sprinkle happiness” through sign-holding events has since spread to 20 cities and two countries, according to its website. Last year, in Washington, D.C., a 29-year-old man campaigned to make people smile by standing at street corners with friends holding posterboards declaring “Honk if you love someone,” “Be happy” and “Don’t be so hard on yourself.” Passersby loved them back. These spontaneous, informal events fit neatly into the emerging field of positive psychology and the study of happiness. Instead of trying to figure out why we feel sad or depressed, positive psychology focuses instead on how we can become happier and more fulfilled. The world-renowned founder of positive psychology, Dr. Martin Seligman, directs the Positive Psychology Center at the University of Pennsylvania. (You can take the free authentic happiness test on the center’s website at www.authentichappiness.sas.upenn.edu/Default. aspx.) He contends that happiness can be analyzed into three measurable elements —positive emotion, engagement and meaning — and that the ultimate goal is to reach a state of well-being. What Kinzi and her friends are doing may not be earth-shattering in terms of establishing lasting happiness, but creating moments that make us smile or laugh or lift our spirits can make a difference that matters.

sor at the University of Denver who researches emotions, notes that studies show our brains are wired in a way that tune in more quickly to negative information. “Evolutionarily, negative information is usually more critical to deal with — and to deal with quickly — and so our brains process negative information a little bit faster,” she says. For instance, “If we discover there is something that wants to eat us out there, (the brain tells us) we should run as fast as possible.” Our brains hone in rapidly on causes of negative emotion, too. “We tend to pick out a `frownie’ face out of a sea of smiling faces pretty quickly,” McRae says. “Negative emotions can even further narrow our attention and . . . remind us of other negative things,” generating a feedback loop that keeps circulating unhappy feelings. But those same reinforcing effects manifest themselves with positive emotion also. “Being in a positive mood tends to make you more aware of the more positive things around you,” McRae says. “Remembering positive things tends to remind you of other positive things.” What Kinzi and her friends are doing, McRae says, can be clinically described as “benefit-finding” — encouraging people to look for the hidden benefits in life — a component of many therapeutic interventions. “You never know what is going to send somebody up, flip around a downward spiral into an upward spiral,” McRae says. “There is potential a sign could do that. My best guess would be that it helps a small portion of the people who drive by. You never know what’s going to turn someone’s day around. . . . Sometimes, you just need a reminder.”

piness comes from making others happy. Yes, there have been people who flip them off or yell “You suck!” as they drive by. Kinzi’s reaction: “It’s really unfortunate you guys think that way, but you need the love the most.” But by and far, reaction is overwhelmingly positive. “Some guy pulled over last week and gave us $20,” Kinzi says. “He said, `You deserve some lunch.’ That was cool.” Another driver once parked to say: “I was having a terrible day and your sign completely turned it around and gave me hope.” And the driver of a Wonder Bread truck tossed out a box of muffins. Kinzi has plans to start a club that would take the positivity from the signholding to another level, something longer lasting — “the idea if I can change your day, you’ll change somebody else’s day.” But, on this afternoon, the girls enthusiastically wave their signs in the hope of bringing a little joy to someone who could use a pick-me-up. One driver shouts through a window: “Have a good day!” “Yeah!” Emily shouts back, glee in her voice. “You, too!” A car with two young men stops, waiting for the light to change. The driver leans over and yells: “What are you guys doing this for?” Emily grins: “To make you guys happy!” He pauses a moment, looks at her, then: “Thank you for making my day.” And he eases the car into the intersection, the smile on his face celebrating a moment of unexpected and simple pleasure.

Pet fest is beastly fun Event was fundraiser for the Humane Society By Tom Munds
tmunds@ourcoloradonews.com Hundreds of people and probably at least that many four-legged friends visited the Best of the West Pet Fest celebration Aug. 18 at Aspen Grove in Littleton. The event included pony rides, a pet parade and a pet costume contest that raised funds for the Humane Society of the South Platte Valley. The society also took the event as an opportunity to promote adoptions of some of the animals at the society. The focus on pets attracted a lot of dogs, a cat or two and a lot of other animals. There were pony rides, an opportunity to brush and pet goats, the organization Nature’s Educators had volunteers walking the midway with big snakes wrapped around parts of their body and the organization’s booth featured raptors, which included a red-tailed hawk. Charles Kelley attracted a lot of attention as he brought his three wolf hybrids to the event. The oldest, Yukon, was a timber wolf while the other two, Rocky and Spooky were part prairie wolf. In addition, there were hundreds of
dogs of various sizes, shapes and colors moving up and down the midway-like area with their owners. “I brought my children here today because we love animals but I didn’t bring my dogs because I didn’t know what to expect,” Arapahoe County resident Rick Jones said. “As expected, there are a lot of dogs here and the vast majority of these pets are very well-behaved It is fun seeing all the different kinds of dogs but I didn’t expect to get the chance for my 4-year-old to ride a pony or my 6-year-old son to pet a wolf. We are having a great time and, if they do this next year, we’ll probably bring our dogs so they can enjoy the day too.” Pam Camelio, event planner, said it took about three months work to organize and plan the pet fest. “We tried to invite vendors that were all pet related and we got a wide variety of pets and displays,” she said. “The society used its special van to bring a lot of adoptable animals to the festival. I think that is a success because we have had a lot of people expressing interest in the animals which is at least a step toward getting them adopted.” Camelio said here were a total of 11 pet adoptions during the event and the proceeds benefitting the society are still being totaled.

Cabela’s grand opening draws about 5,000 Hunters, campers and curious gather for ceremony to open Lone Tree store By Jane Reuter
jreuter@ourcoloradonews.com Parker resident Joe Folmar and Elizabeth’s Chris Alward suffered through a cold, windy Wednesday night in the Lone Tree Cabela’s parking lot. Thursday morning, that earned them spots near the front of a line a few-thousand-people in length. “We slept in our lawn chairs, tucked into a little ball,” Folmar said. “It was probably about 50 degrees with 30 mph winds. I think it’s worth it. Now, it’s just what kinda goodies are we going to get?” Cabela’s gave gift cards in varying amounts — one for $500 — to the first 500 people in line for the Lone Tree store’s Aug. 15 grand opening. Campers started showing up at the store Aug. 13, store officials said. By the time the doors opened at 11 a.m., they estimated 5,000 people were waiting in a line that stretched all the way around the 110,000-square-foot building. Another 5,000 more gathered several miles north at the Thornton store, which opened simultaneously. Lone Tree’s store, at 110,000 square feet, is slightly larger than Thornton’s, and even surpasses the 85,000-square-foot Sydney, Neb., store in size. Most in line said they were longtime Cabela’s customers, many of whom previously had made the long journey to the Sydney store. Cabela’s is headquartered in Sydney. Some were hunters, some campers and some just curious. “I think we mainly came because it’s fun to people watch,” said Golden resident Kerry Bostwick. “This is really fun. Everyone is so laid back.” “I’m excited to look at the clothing and shoes and not have to guess at the size,” said Littleton’s Randy Alldridge, who in the past was a Cabela’s catalog shopper. Rock music blasted across the parking lot, and cart-pushing Cabela’s employees doled out water bottles and doughnuts to the waiting customers.

Football in hand, Cabela’s regional retail manager Diane Uhlenkamp revved up the more than 200 staff members and corporate visitors crowded inside the store’s massive main hall. “It’s Super Bowl time,” she said. “It’s gonna be big from here on out. Take great care of those folks out there because that’s what we’re here for.” “This has been (founder) Dick Cabela’s dream — to have a store in Denver,” Cabela’s COO Michael Copeland said, adding the opening of two stores simultaneously exceeded that vision. “We’ve already set some records this week. I don’t know what they put in the water in Denver.” Copeland led employees in a cheer, asking, “Who are we?” “Lone Tree, Lone Tree, Mile High Great,” the staff roared in return. Moments before the doors opened,
store, county and city officials addressed the huge crowd, most of whom were so far from the doors, they couldn’t hear the speeches. Cabela’s is “a perfect complement to the world-class retail we have down here,” said Lone Tree Mayor Jim Gunning, urging the crowd to remember the day was a celebration of Cabela’s. “So when you walk in, don’t be stingy.” County Commissioner Jack Hilbert took Gunning’s advice to heart. An avid outdoorsman, Hilbert said he spent about $1,000 during a preview event at the store and another $100 on opening day. “This is fantastic,” he said. “You don’t see a grand opening in Douglas County like this.” “Awesome,” County Commissioner Jill Repella agreed. “I’m extremely proud. The site exceeded my expectations, the store exceeded my expectations, the grand opening exceeded my expectations.”
Thousands of people waited in line the morning of Aug. 15 in anticipation of Cabela’s opening its doors.

Attorney seeking school board seat Reutzel is resident of Bow Mar By Jennifer Smith
jsmith@ourcoloradonews.com Jack Reutzel, an attorney, wants a seat on the Littleton Public Schools Board of Education. “I’ve never been in an education environment as a job,” he said. “That could be a positive.” A 20-year resident of Bow Mar, Reutzel and Robert Reichert are the only schoolboard candidates who live west of Broadway. His son graduated from Littleton High School and his daughter is a sophomore at Heritage. He says his kids have been happy, engaged and fulfilled during their time in LPS. “The board has been really constructive the last several years, and they have a great working relationship,” he said. “Clearly, they’re doing something right. … I don’t think there’s an overhaul necessary, but you always want to tweak. Just because we’re great now doesn’t mean we need to sit on our hands for the next 10 years.” Like the other candidates, he hopes the next board will maintain the positive. “I would want all school board members to come in without an agenda,” he said. “I want candidates who understand what they don’t know, seek to find the answers and make a decision in the best interest of our kids. That’s what I want a board member to be, and I think that’s what I’d be.” He thinks his career and the fact that he ran a business have prepared him for a place on the board. “I try to build consensus, but when the time comes to make a decision, I make it,” he said.
Reutzel and his wife, Karen, maintained a private practice in the Coors Building on Main Street for several years, but they both now work at the Denver firm of Fairfield and Woods. Specializing in land-use issues, he earned his law degree from the University of Denver and his master’s degree in city planning from the University of Pennsylvania. “I’m proud of what Karen and I have been able to accomplish,” he said. “Raising Reutzel our kids, having the friends we have and the work that we do.” He feels the board’s job is to help allocate available resources in such a way as to best let the teachers teach and the students learn. “I’m not running to be the tech guy. I’m not running to be the finance director or the superintendent,” he said. “But I want to make their jobs as easy as possible by giving them the resources we have.” Like the other four candidates, Reutzel hopes the current board decides to place an $80 million bond issue on the November ballot that would go toward maintaining infrastructure. “The buildings are the district’s biggest asset,” he said. “There is lots of stuff that needs to happen to bring them into this new age of technology.” The election is Nov. 5. Four people besides Reutzel have officially declared they’re running: Dallas Jones, Kelly Perez, Robert Reichert and Carrie Warren-Gully. LPS canceled its last two elections when nobody stepped up to run against the incumbents. This time, Bob Colwell, Renee Howell and Sue Chandler are all finishing their second four-year terms and cannot run again due to term limits.
LPS scores continue positive trends State assessment reflects results of standardized testing Staff report Parents who sent their kids back to Littleton Public Schools this week can rest assured the district is doing its job, according to newly released Transitional Colorado Assessment Program results. “This is pretty amazing data,” said LPS Deputy Superintendent Connie Bouwman in a news release, pointing particularly to the fact that special-education students’ scores increased in 24 of the 27 areas tested. “Our teachers have been doing outstanding work in implementing interventions such as co-teaching that are clearly making a difference. While there is much yet to be done, this is a terrific, exciting beginning. I couldn’t be more proud of a great team.” This is the third year the TCAP has been administered since it replaced the Colorado Student Assessment Program, or CSAP. It’s bridging the gap until new state standards are fully established. LPS students outperformed the state averages of those scoring at or above proficient levels by as much as 20 percentage points, and all grades scored at least 80 percent proficient and advanced in reading for the second year in a row. Fourth-, fifth-, sixth and eighth-graders achieved all-time high scores in reading. “District writing scores continue to be much higher than the state average, but the results have been inconsistent over the years,” reads the release, noting that they improved in six of the eight grade levels tested. “LPS looks forward to a new state writing assessment that will hopefully provide better data on student performance.” Math scores are the highest ever in several areas and remained high or improved

Governor touts school-finance reform tax hike Rally brings out supporters, detractors of possible ballot measure By Vic Vela
vvela@ourcoloradonews.com Gov. John Hickenlooper gave a fullthroated endorsement of a school-finance reform tax hike at a Lakewood rally on Aug. 15, marking the beginning of a campaign behind what’s expected to be the most significant ballot question voters will decide on this fall. Hickenlooper was joined by other education-reform advocates at a Green Mountain High School rally that drew more than 100 supporters of an initiative that will create $950 million in new taxes that will fund an overhaul of the Colorado school-finance system. “I refer to this all the time as the single most comprehensive education-reform initiative in the history of the United States,” Hickenlooper said. “With this initiative, we’re building a public education system that’s going to serve as a model for the rest of the United
States.” By passing Initiative 22 this fall, taxpayers would fund full-day kindergarten for all Colorado children and would provide more support for at-risk students and English learners. The initiative also aims to reduce class sizes and provide greater funding equality for school districts across the state. Hickenlooper was joined at the rally by other supporters of the Colorado Commits to Kids campaign. They included Jefferson County Schools Superintendent Cindy Stevenson, who said that “an additional 3,000 5-year-olds will have free full-day kindergarten” in the county, and that at least 1,000 at-risk Jeffco children will have access to free preschool, if the initiative passes. Colorado Lt. Gov. Joe Garcia echoed Stevenson’s call to pass the ballot measure, saying, “We know that not all kids enter school on equal footing.” “But if we want all kids to graduate and all be ready for higher education we need to be sure we can provide the level of individualized support that not all districts can afford to offer,” Garcia said. Initiative 22 would raise taxes on all Colorado taxpayers. The two-tiered proposal would raise income taxes to 5 percent on everyone earn-
ing $75,000 or less. Those who earn over that amount would pay 5 percent on the first $75,000 in taxable income and 5.9 percent on taxable income above $75,000. Colorado’s current income tax rate is a flat 4.63 percent, regardless of income level. Hickenlooper said that Colorado is one of the lowest-taxed states in the country and will remain so, even if the initiative passes. But opponents of Initiative 22 were quick to jump on Hickenlooper’s comments. “I think it’s interesting that the governor comes to the county that will get the least return on its investment,” said Jefferson County Schools Board of Education member Laura Boggs, who attended Hickenlooper’s speech. Boggs says that Jefferson County taxpayers will pay at least $130 million in taxes, but that the school district will only get about $60 million in funding if the ballot initiative passes. “He stands in our backyard, where our children, if this passes, are worth less than 50 cents on the dollar,” she said. “I find that interesting.” Curtis Hubbard, of the Colorado Commits to Kids campaign, countered Boggs, saying that the initiative will result in more than $600 in per-pupil funding for students
South Metro Denver Chamber Announces New Board for 2013-14 The South Metro Denver Chamber has announced the new members of its Board of Directors for the 2013-2014 fiscal year. Made up of business leaders from large corporations, to small one-person businesses, the 25 member board meets monthly to discuss Chamber issues and will officially begin its work on September 1st. Herm Brocksmith of Kuni Honda will take up the Chair position from Lisa D’Ambrosia of Minor & Brown who will continue serving on the board. Rick Whipple of WhippleWood CPAs was named as Chair-elect. Other officer positions include Rick Koontz of Wells Fargo Bank continuing to serve as Treasurer and Peter Moore of Polsinelli, PC serving as Legal Counsel. Other Vice Chair positions are: Steve Roper, Roper Insurance - Membership; Jeff Wasden of PROformance Apparel - Public Affairs; and Wendy Nelson, Denver Scholarship Foundation will be the Executive Committee Member at Large. Chamber President and CEO, John
Brackney is excited to begin working with the new board and appreciates the work of the former board members. “The South Metro Denver Chamber is rich in tradition for identifying talented leaders who are willing to serve. All of our outgoing and incoming members of the Board of Directors are proven leaders who are committed to serving our community and enhancing the lives of everyone they meet while improving the economy for all, most whom they will never meet. Please join me in thanking them for their volunteer service. Our future will Prosper because of their volunteerism,” said Brackney. New, incoming board members include: Frederic de Loizaga, CBRE; Andrew Graham, Clinic Service Corporation; Tom Henley, Xcel Energy; Anthony Lambatos, Footers Catering (and 2013 Small Business of the Year award winner); Geoff Lawton, Littleton Adventist Hospital serving as Economic Development Group Vice Chair; Tom Puntel, Hyatt Regency DTC; and Cleve Wortham, FirstBank Arapahoe County serving as Small Business Development Center Vice Chair. Continuing board members
in Jefferson County, “which is an investment that we believe taxpayers will support.” Across the street from the rally, a small group of Initiative 22 opponents attacked the “ostensible reforms” that will occur if the ballot question passes. But mainly, they argued that Coloradans “won’t have the appetite for this type of tax increase.” “It’s just more money going into a bloated system that’s failing,” said Kelly Maher, a coalition member of Coloradans for Real Education Reform, the campaign that’s fighting against the initiative. “We need to reform the system first before we increase taxes on Colorado families.” Initiative 22 ballot organizers claim to have turned in more than 160,000 signatures of registered voters, nearly double the 86,105 needed to qualify for this fall’s ballot. However, the secretary of state’s office announced the day after the rally that it will have to review the signatures line by line to determine whether the measure makes the ballot. That’s because the verification of a random sample of petition signatures fell into a range that requires such a review. The secretary of state’s office has until Sept. 4 to complete its review.

e ap-Staff report
loat- The public has until Sept. 3 to comment aher,on the final Chatfield Reservoir reallocation Realstudy, which was released Aug. 2. hat’s The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has
not changed its stance from the draft study. t be-To meet the growing need for water in the ami-metro area, it still recommends reallocating
20,600 acre-feet of water from flood control m toto usable storage. gna- That would raise the water in the recree theation area by 12 feet, covering more of the allot.park with water and requiring reconfiguraofficetion of the marina and other amenities. t will The Corps notes a study by the statewide ne toWater Supply Initiative that estimates Colos therado will need between 600,000 and 1 million acre-feet annually of additional municran-ipal and industrial water by the year 2050. into “There is also a strong need for addition-
al water supplies for the agricultural comuntilmunity in the South Platte Basin, as thousands of acres of previously irrigated land has not been farmed in recent years due to widespread irrigation well curtailments,” reads a Corps press release.
The final report outlines three other options but concludes this is the least costly and has the most local support. It says this option would provide $8.42 million annually in economic benefits, while still acknowledging there could be adverse effects on recreation and the environment that will be “mitigated to the most sustainable alternative to below a level of significance.” Gwyn Jarrett, project manager, says the Corps worked extensively with groups like Sierra Club and Audubon Society. “By working together, the (study) captures and reflects a balance of interests and ultimately proposes the recommended alternative,” she said. The draft report, published in June 2012, received nearly 1,000 comments from the public. Last August, Littleton City Council added its support to the project, but with some reservations. “While Littleton continues to support the Chatfield reallocation project, it is concerned that the (Corps) has not given sufficient consideration to the potential environmental impact that may result under the (plan),” they write. “Specifically, Littleton is concerned that the potential impacts to aquatic and riparian habitat immediately downstream of Chatfield in (South Platte Park) have not been adequately addressed.” In the final version of the study, the Corps acknowledges downstream flows are a key uncertainty.

Comments must be postmarked or received no later than Sept. 1, 2013.
“While mitigation and modification plans have been developed … in coordination with resource agencies, there is still a
level of concern that implementing a reallocation could lead to a somewhat different condition for which environmental mitigation or recreational facility modification has not been designed appropriately,” reads the study. It says the water providers are working closely with resource agencies on projects that could pick up where the mitigation efforts leave off. A statement last summer listed 49 entities supporting the plan, including Denver Water and a host of smaller water districts, several upstream counties and towns, the South Metro Fire Rescue Authority, Shea Homes, some water conservation boards and environmental groups. The Highlands Ranch Metro District also submitted a letter of support, and the Highlands Ranch Community Association joined them but added some reservations. It expressed concerns about damages to the environment and recreational amenities in its letter, but Chairman Scott Lemmon said he felt confident that these concerns were being addressed by the Corps. “I think that the long-term water security for Highlands Ranch far outweighs the 500 acres (of recreational space affected), even though it is a concern,” said board member Brock Norris. Following the Sept. 3 close of the public comment period, the Corps will submit the report to the assistant secretary of the Army for Civil Works for final approval.

opinions / yours and ours
Local politics better without partisanship Across Colorado, budding candidates for city and town councils and school boards are wrapping up the process of gathering signatures for their nomination petitions. These citizens are working to get their names on the ballot for this November’s election, and ultimately, they are trying to win a spot on an elected board that comes with little or no pay. Voters will pick from among these candidates without a party affiliation listed for the candidates. Further, a search for candidate information on the Secretary of State’s Tracer website yields the term “nonpartisan” next to the category “party.” Indeed, these are officially nonpartisan elections they are hoping to compete in. But don’t be fooled: There are parti-
our view san races being waged for municipal and school board offices in this state. Colorado law does not prohibit a candidate from campaigning as a Republican, Democrat, Libertarian or member of any other party. In other words, a candidate can tout that he or she is a member of a certain party, secure that party’s endorsement and even run among a slate of candidates looking to grab or maintain power for that party on an elected board. And voters who have been paying attention are not likely
to need a party affiliation listed on their ballots to know who represents Team Blue or Team Red or Team Other. While it is not illegal, we believe this process violates the spirit of election law. The real spirit of serving on a city council or a school board, as we wrote in an editorial last month, should be a noble calling to public service — to make a community better. It is not promoting the platform of a major, national political organization. We believe local politics should be about people, not parties. It is particularly a shame when partisanship rears up to narrow the pool of candidates in an attempt to prevent votes from being split. Sure, when a party encourages someone not to run, it is a pragmatic move in that it increases the likelihood of
achieving a victory. But it also suppresses diversity of thought and likely keeps some very well-intentioned, capable citizens from public service. Don’t get us wrong. We’re not saying every local campaign has been taken over by partisanship. Just too many — regardless of what that number is. For now, we encourage candidates who feel a true calling to serve to stick with it. There’s nothing wrong with being a member of a political party, but if you are truly dedicated to helping the community, don’t let your affiliation dictate whether you will seek office. If you win, don’t let it determine how you will serve. Come November, we encourage voters to simply choose the best person for the job.
Make healthy homework a habit
Something is hiding under the bed I have just returned from periodontal surgery and I am in no mood to labor my thoughts, but I have a deadline to meet, so I am going to plow forward with something. I may wander. I am still on painkillers. Most people are afraid of the dentist. In fact, in some polls, going to the dentist is No. 1 on the list of things we fear most. It’s always one, or two, behind public speaking. Snakes, flying, and Rachael Ray round out the top five. See what I mean? I’m daft. I don’t fear the dentist. I should get a room in his office. I have had surgery and extractions and root canals. I had cavities drilled when I was a kid before Novocaine. I don’t recommend it. Maybe you read “A Million Little Pieces,” James Frey’s Oprah mess that has a chapter about oral surgery without an anesthetic. It’s a lie, but it’s vivid. I had a lot of dental care without an anesthetic, so being numbed now is a blessing, even though it seems like dental care in my life has been non-stop. But it isn’t the dentist that I am afraid of. I thought I would give you my list, while I am still comfortably numb. And it’s all nonsense. Or drivel. Your next assignment is to read Pure Drivel. Steve Martin. All right, here’s my list, what scares me. Country music. Joel Osteen. Flo. Nancy Grace. Pop Tarts. Lunchables. Pat Robertson. Wayne LaPierre. Postconsumerism. The Dewey Decimal System. Discount sushi. Transparency. Kierkegaard. Buffalo Bob. Bologna. Kittens. This one is too easy, he scares everyone: Richard Simmons. Family Feud. Kate Spade purses. Cosmopolitan. Gene Simmons. Paula Deen. Chaz Dean. Parakeets. Viagra commercials. ABBA. Guys and Dolls. Emoticons. Light jazz. Non-dairy whitener. Plug-in air fresheners. Joseph Prince. Mississippi. Black Friday. Wind chimes. Suncatchers. Perfume. Craig Ferguson. Bowling shirts. John Travolta’s hair color. Chick-fil-A. Spencer’s. Shepard Smith. Misty May-Treanor. Kerri Walsh Jennings. Marie Callender’s. Aunt Jemima. Betty Crocker. Uncle Ben’s. Martha
Stewart. The View. This one is too easy too: Anthony D. Weiner. Florida’s Division of Elections. Speed trap on Yale between I-25 and Colorado Boulevard. The Sixth Step. Fajitas. Mojitos. Carly Rae Jepsen. Hallmark cards. Siegfried and Roy. Pinky Lee. Crocs. Skip Bayless. Dinger. Buddy Hackett. Aimee Semple McPherson. Hamburger Helper. Brent Musburger. Lower back tattoos. Flavor Flav. Jimmy Dean sausage patties. Texas politicians. Chuck E. Cheese. Chuck Norris. It’s a long list and it’s getting longer all the time. It’s crazy out there, man. When I was a kid, my biggest fear was skeletons that were alive and running around. I would have nightmares and go climb in bed with my mother and father. I am sure they loved that. Years later in a film class at UCLA, I watched Georges Méliès’ A Trip to the Moon and there they were: lots and lots of living skeletons running around like maniacs. Turbulence. Chinese tilapia. Top Ramen. PT Cruisers. Olive Garden’s Never Ending Pasta Bowl. Peep toe wedges. Flip-flops on my insurance agent. Dulcolax. Marilyn Monroe said, “Fear is stupid. So are regrets.” She’s right, but it’s a tough call. The past is always ready to visit me, reminders are on stand-by. It takes work to look forward, otherwise I am dragged at the ankles by something I can’t change. There is one place I can go where I have no fears at all, and even though it’s just off of the dining room, it took years and years to get there. I was fearful I would never make it. My studio. There is one final fear. Sometimes I scare myself. To be honest, I kind of like it. Craig Marshall Smith is an artist, educator and Highlands Ranch resident.

One of the questions my kids dreaded throughout their education was when I would ask this, “Do you have any homework tonight?” Of course they hated that question, I hated it too when I was growing up and my mother would ask me the very same thing. Well it’s that time of year again when kids of all ages are settling back into the school routine and homework will be inevitable. And I think that many students get uncomfortable about the question because they would much prefer to say that there was no homework assigned or just a very little bit so that they can spend time with friends and doing anything other than their assignments. At the end of the day the only person who really suffers is the student. Surely as parents we agonize over it a little too, but we can only do so much in the way of accountability. The student has to want to succeed and be an active participant in their own learning and growth. Homework is perceived as a “thing” that has to get done, when at the end of the day it’s really about work ethic and attitude. Homework is a behavior that drives success whether we are in school, at work, or trying to grow personally or professionally. You see, we can’t manage results, we can only manage behaviors. And it is in our school days that we develop this work ethic and positive habits that will propel us in our future endeavors. Anyone reading this column can probably look back at a time when you or your child procrastinated or just avoided a homework assignment or maybe a few consecutive assignments. The outcome was that we fell farther behind and playing catch-up was infinitely harder. And we can also look back at a time when we took the time to do the homework, and how amazing it felt when we breezed through a quiz or test. Again, it’s about the behaviors that

deliver results. And as we fast forward past our school years and evaluate where we are today in our career we can probably point to specific times when we fell behind at work because we didn’t do the little extra things at the end of our day such as planning and preparing, making lists, looking at our goals, or checking off what we had accomplished. When we view this kind of work as productive we can view our homework as being healthy. It’s when we have the attitude that we would rather avoid the behavior of a little extra work that we deprive ourselves of the feeling of accomplishment and we erode our beliefs in our own capabilities and what we can truly achieve. Learning and growing is something that is a constant part of our entire lives not just during our years of schooling. We should always be “on the grow” as we look to raise the bar a little each and every day. And healthy homework whether we are a student or enjoying a career is a great way to ensure our future success. Are you keeping up with your healthy homework? I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@gmail.com and together let’s continue to learn and make this a better-than-good week.

Pastors provide spiritual support I just hired a publicist to help me take my book sales and the Big League message, “Your Life Matters” to more people. Now I am surprised with the fact that I have a publicist and an agent. It always seemed that rich, famous people were ones with publicists and agents. Now I know that is not always the case. I also have an accountant that does my taxes and keeps my 501(c)(3) in compliance with the government. My dentist and doctor help me keep my mouth and body healthy. It is quite a team that I have to help me live life and take on challenges that are bigger than I am. Another important member of “Team Dan” is my pastor. Recently a situation reminded me how important my pastor is to me and what an important part of my life he is. This experience exceeded the normal Sunday sermon, as important as that is. Each week he seeks to hear from God in a way that is faithful to the Holy Scriptures so that he can bring a message that strengthens the lives of those who listen. It is not that I need to be told how to live as much as his message so often matches what has been stirring in my spirit because of the challenges of everyday life. When I
hear his message it is a confirmation to me, often expressed in a way that is memorable, of who God is and how important He is to me and my circumstances. There was a situation at work that troubled me. I was upset and could not find peace as far as what to do. Thankfully I ran into him at a coffee shop. Our relationship began at a coffee shop when the only empty seat on a busy Monday morning was next to him. That suits my lifestyle as I feel like the Lead Pastor at the “St. Arbucks” parish. I am at the coffee shop so often. He took time to listen to me for a few minutes then offered a perspective that I had not thought of, but was exactly what I needed to hear. I left, thankful that I had such a wise, Godly and caring influence in my life.
Throughout most of my adult life I did not have a pastor — I was the pastor. It was an honor to be called Pastor Dan but that side of the relationship did not give me the vantage point to appreciate the enormity of the contribution of a pastor’s work to the life of a parishioner. As a Hospice chaplain, there are more times when the benefits of my efforts in the lives and circumstances of the recipients are more quickly apparent. It is not easy work to stand with people at the dramatic time of their loved one’s sickness and passing from this life to the next, but it is rewarding to feel the value of my work. Nearly all of the churches in our town have a priest or pastor. Many have a staff of pastors with specializations. Youth pastors make it possible for students to have a pastor who they can go to with concerns that their youth pastor understands. Pastors of men’s or women’s ministries focus their efforts on subjects and settings that minister to their target audience. A relatively new specialization that comes in a larger church is a minister of Pastoral Care. Gifts of compassion and insight guide this person to listen, comfort and be present in the lives of the church family during sickness, divorce, traumatic

accidents and problems that are too complicated to share with the general public. While some Pastors have been derelict in their duties or disappointed their parishioners with ethical or moral failure, the vast majority sacrificially minister so that their congregation receives inspiration, insight and even correction so that God will be real and relevant in the lives of their parishioners. My taxes are too complicated for me to do them by myself. I can’t work on my teeth or prescribe meds to treat an infection. I need my dentist and doctor. My agent knew how to get a book published and his expertise benefited me and I hope my publicist will benefit me as much so sales will grow and the message will spread. But not everybody needs a publicist, but everyone needs a pastor and they are all eager to add another parishioner to their care.

in the room.” While Soards was respectful of the city’s position, he was not warming up to the idea of losing market share. “I find it interesting that, as part of the rationale, this somehow is going to increase competition or be good for business,” Soards said. “If the council decides to move forward with this indirectly then I would certainly recommend that there be some language in there that includes commercially reasonable rates, terms and conditions. The business models of dozens of telecommunications companies in Centennial are at risk of being undercut by free or significantly subsidized networks.” District 1 Councilmember Vorry Moon said the thought of the city being asked to change its wording smelled of ways restrict-

BALLOT LANGUAGE Shall the City of Centennial, without increasing taxes, and to restore local authority that was denied to all local governments by the state legislature, and foster a more competitive marketplace, be authorized to indirectly provide high-speed Internet (advanced services), telecommunications services, and/or cable television services to residents, businesses, schools, libraries, non-profit entities and other users of such services, through competitive and non-exclusive partnerships with private businesses, as expressly permitted by Article 29, Turtle 27, of the Colorado Revised Statutes? ing its options. “It seems to me we are going, `Fire, ready, aim,’” said Moon. “We’re all talking about what we’re going to do after the election,” said Moon. “And this election is simply to get the city out from under SB 152, and SB 152 was brought to you by the same industry that’s here trying to tell you, now, how to change your ballot initiative. If we’re trying to get out from under 152, why would we put ourselves under other restrictions?”

Rotarians wrap up water project Littleton, Somoto clubs’ joint effort puts filters in 448 village homes By Tom Munds
tmunds@ourcoloradonews.com More than a year of planning, preparation and work culminated July 21 when Rotarians from Colorado and Nicaragua distributed 70 clean-water filters to residents of the small village of San Lucas. Eight Rotarians from the chapter in Somoto, Nicaragua, and Colorado Rotarians Bob Moore of the Littleton chapter and Monty Schmidt of the Westminster chapter assembled the 70 ceramic filters and gave them to the local residents selected by the local priest to receive them. Moore, who was making his third trip to Nicaragua on projects for the Casa Unida Foundation and to help with the filter projects, said the Rotarian project exceeded expectations. “The original proposal was to use the Rotarian grants to buy the materials and build 261 bio-sand filter systems,” he said. “We based the project number on the material prices from local Nicaraguan vendors. When they found out what we were doing they reduced material prices so we had money left over and it was decided to use the money to buy 180 ceramic filters.” Moore and Schmidt helped Somoto Nicaraguans assemble and distribute the last 70 filters to residents in the area of San Lucas. As she received her filter, San Lucas area resident Maria Cruz, 77, smiled and hugged Somoto Rotarian Claudia Quiroz. An interpreter said Cruz thanked Quiroz and asked God to bless her and everyone who made it possible for her family now to finally have clean water to drink. The Rotarians worked with the priest to select the San Lucas area families that would benefit the most from the clean-water filters. Yvonne Castillo, Somoto Rotary Club president, said most San Lucas area residents used water from wells or streams that contained bacteria and other contamination. She said the specially-designed ceramic filter liner contains elements that will purify water and could provide about 30 liters of safe, clean drinking water a day. The San Lucas distribution wraps up a program that began more than a year ago when Somoto Rotarians because they wanted to bring clean, safe drinking water to families in the rural mountain areas of northern Nicaragua. The Nicaraguans talked about the project to Moore and oth-
Littleton Rotarian Bob Moore, left, hands a ceramic clean water filter to a resident of the area around San Lucas, Nicaragua. Moore and members of the Somoto, Nicaragua, Rotary Club distributed 70 of the filters to residents of the area. Photos by Tom Munds er area Rotarians who brought the request back to their clubs. “We looked into the filter project and decided to try to work with the club in Somoto to make the project happen,” Moore said. “Money was needed to build the filters so our club, the Littleton Sunrise Rotary Club and the Aurora Gateway Rotary Club raised about $8,000. We then sent a successful request for additional financial support to the district and to Rotary International which increased the total project funding to about $21,000.” The initial portion of the project involved constructing and distributing 270 bio-sand filter systems. The container was made of plastic pipe 30 inches in diameter with gravel and sand making up the filter system. The ceramic filter systems are the same shape and size. The decision to switch to the ceramic filters was made because so many areas like that around San Lucas area doesn’t have access to the amount of water needed to wash the dirt and debris out of the gravel and sand for a bio sand filter. A large crowd gathered near the church in San Lucas on the day the filters were distributed. Again, the container was a plastic pipe 30 inches in diameter and about 4 feet
Somoto, Nicaragua, Rotarians wearing white shirts describe how the ceramic water filters work to residents of the San Lucas area. Rotarians from Nicaragua and Colorado joined forces to distribute clean water filters to needy Nicaragua families. high. The ceramic filter system fit into the open top of the container so the clean water could drain into the lower portion of the system. “Some of these people walked more than an hour to receive these filters that will make a difference in their lives,” Moore said. “There were big smiles when some-
one’s name was called to receive a filter system. Each of them thanked us, picked up the filters and started on the walk home.” Now that the filter project is completed, the Somoto and Colorado Rotarians are discussing by email if they want to join forces on another project and, if so, what that project would be.

S
taff and patients applauded enthusiastically as singersongwriter Michelle Murray filled the air with her music during an Aug. 14 visit to Craig Hospital. “We frequently make stops at hospitals and visit patients to talk about the documentary and the music,” Murray said about her itinerary on her 50-state, 50,000-movie premiere and music tour for “My Finish Line.” “My Finish Line” is a documentary about former Indy Racing League driver Sam Schmidt’s near-fatal accident that left him a quadriplegic, and how he overcame the challenges so he is now a successful IndyCar team owner. Murray said Schmidt’s experiences and her work with him inspired her to team up to write the song, “It Won’t Be If But When (Sam’s Song).” “Visiting Craig is very special to us because this was where Sam was treated after his car crash in 2000,” she said. “I know Sam was here 13 years ago, but I still feel inspired to come to Craig, talk to the patients and see all they do here.” John Dowell said he enjoyed the concert and he said he was touched by Murray’s emotional facial and body John Dowell language when she sang “Sam’s Song.” “My uncle is a paraplegic and an outpatient here at Craig, and I think this song reflects his determination to again do some of the things he used to be able to do,” Dowell said. “I have a copy of the DVD of the movie and I plan to get a copy of the song for my uncle because it touched me and I believe it will inspire him.” Murray began performing when she was a 4-year-old as a singer and a violinist. “I had a career as a singer and I don’t think the ‘My Finish Line’ project has changed things, but it has just been fun to see what we can do with music and see how far-reaching and how many people can be touched by our songs,” she said
‘My uncle is a
paraplegic and an outpatient here at
Craig, and I think this song reflects his
determination to again do some of the things
he used to be able to do.’
As the saying goes, “there’s no such thing as bad publicity.” Especially free publicity. Boulder Canyon’s potato chips got a plug on cable TV’s “Breaking Bad” on Aug. 11 when a character in the AMC network series is shown munching on a bag of Boulder Canyon’s sea salt and cracked pepper chips. In Sunday’s mid-season premiere, Hank Schrader (played by actor Dean Morris), a Drug Enforcement Agency agent and brother-in-law of Walter White, the series’ chemistry teacher turned crystal meth maker - is digging into a bag Boulder Canyon’s chips. How did Boulder Canyon take the news that its product was featured on a hit cable series about cancer-stricken high school teacher (played by Bryan Cranston) turned drug kingpin? On its Twitter feed (@BoulderCanyon), the company wrote: “Now we know Hank’s got good taste in his snacks! We wonder what flavor Walt would like...?” and “Eating our chips clearly helps in the investigative process.” Boulder Canyon said it did not pay for product placement on the show. The Boulder Camera first reported the story.
Art & Ale at Wildlife Experience
Singer-songwriter Michelle Murray plays the opening tune during her Aug. 14 concert at Craig Hospital. The singer made the stop during her 50-state, 50,000mile movie premiere and music tour titled “My Finish Line.” after the concert. “We have a great team of people working together and it is neat to see how much can be accomplished when people put their talents together.” She said she has always had a heart for people with mental or physical needs that probably had its roots in the fact that both her parents were teachers working with specialneeds students. “However, I have been much more educated about the challenges of spinal cord injuries and mobility issues in the five years since I met Sam,” she said. “I feel honored to be spokesperson for the Sam Schmidt Paralysis Foundation. Sam is such an incredible person whose strength and spirit is an inspiration to everyone. Of course, he was the inspiration for `It Won’t Be If But When’ because he one of his greatest desires is to dance with his daughter at her wedding.” Murray said she is the melody member of songwriting teams. She said it might be a phrase, an experience or some other inspiration that provides what she calls the hook to trigger the songwriting effort. “Sometimes we get a chorus or the lyrics and my contribution is to develop a melody to fit the message,” she said. “If I start the process, I develop a melody and my songwriting partner develops the lyrics for the song.” Looking ahead, Murray said this tour and exciting chapter in her career really just sort of happened and she feels the sky is the limit. “I have always performed, done music and toured,” she said. “This venture was sort of a new direction with the documentary film and with the type of songs we write. I am excited to see where it goes because there are so many people we can connect with and touch them as they touch me. It is truly an adventure and every day is exciting.”

‘Weather Suspended’ is weather abstracted Museum Outdoor Arts features educational exhibits By Sonya Ellingboe
sellingboe@ourcoloradonews.com The Museum Outdoor Arts in Englewood has a new exhibit and a new logo: MOA (the “of” is dropped). The logo was adopted in the hope that patrons will better understand the museum’s mission, which is much more than just outdoor sculptures. “We also offer indoor galleries and studios, as well as arts education programs, film and external collaborations” said a recent press release. Education projects include two 2013 versions of its long-running “Design and Build” program. The first was with students from Regis University, Rocky Mountain College of Art and Design and CU Boulder, who built temporary sculptures utilizing the theme “abstract.” These are on display through Sept. 3 at the McNichols Civic Center Building, 144 W. Colfax Ave., Denver, hosted by Denver Arts and Venues. The second, “Weather Suspended,” opened Aug. 3 at the MOA indoor gallery on the second floor of the Englewood Civic Center. It will run through Oct. 19, accompanied by two separate individual exhibits by Sally Stockholder (photographs in the back gallery) and Virginia Maitland (paintings, in the atrium). Twelve interns from across the country spent eight weeks in the spacious MOA studios, developing interpretations focused on the themes of “abstracted” and “weather.” Lead artist was the versatile Cory Gilstrap of Denver, who worked with interns to develop seven joint installations and 12 individual 2-foot by 8-foot panels that each

Joint projects include: • Cloud Walk,” a large cluster of white Tryvek strips, suspended from the ceiling and reaching the floor, shimmering with every bit of breeze.

These were the titles for the individual panels, which fill a wall. The visitor is invited to guess the title, then lift a flap to check for correctness:

Pieces of tradition on display Quilt show highlights ‘Spirit of the West’ one square at a time By Jennifer Smith
jsmith@ourcoloradonews.com Perhaps nothing better tells the tale of the “Spirit of the West” better than the Quilt Show at First Presbyterian Church of Littleton, because each artifact has, at some point, embraced a little piece of the whole. Quilts come through the ages as precious family heirlooms, symbols of warmth and comfort, intricate masterpieces of folk art. A bit of material pieced in might call up memories of a mother’s favorite Sunday dress or grandma’s baking apron, family gatherings or traditions. “It’s amazing to me how I can be here for hours and hours and hours and then walk down an aisle and see something that I hadn’t seen before,” said Jenny Staritzky, who started the Western Welcome Week event 11 years ago. It’s grown to fill the church’s beautiful and historic sanctuary to overflowing with dozens of colorful quilts from generations young and old. “Jesus said, `I will not leave you comfortless,” reminds Staritzky, and he certainly would find something to suit anyone in her show. From flowers to graphic patterns, children to kittens, antique cars to fishing, butterflies to giraffes, quilts reflect the personalities and the ages from whence they came. One was made by Lakota Indians as a gift for a bereaved family. Many were made to welcome babies into the world, many to comfort the ailing or tragedy-stricken. One was made as a family tree, another incorporates a growing child’s infant attire. A brand-new one was on display in the church lobby, waiting as a surprise from a new mother-inlaw to be discovered by the happy couple during their wedding rehearsal later that evening. Staritzky says the show and its stories are truly a com-

And it’s all for a good cause, as they auction the quilts to benefit various charities, she adds. It’s not just ladies, either. A star of this year’s show was
pieced by one very rugged-looking Jose Archuleta, notes Staritzky. And not all the ladies quilt - Staritzky herself only took one stab at it before deciding she was a better collector. “If someone collects antique door stops, no one thinks they made them,” she laughs. “If someone collects art, no one asks if they painted it. If someone collects Corvettes, no one thinks they built them. I decided it’s OK to admire quilts, respect quilts and care for a collection.”

After some military duty and a stint at Martin Marietta, he and Phyllis, his highschool sweetheart, decided to start their own restaurant. “Once Evelyn gave me her blessing, I said, ‘Well, that’s good,’ ” remembers Mr. Trujillo. “She was a great mentor.” Mrs. Trujillo gives a lot of credit to her huband’s large family for a lot of help, and the whole family thanks its customers for years of loyal support. “We’ve met so many people, and we’ll miss them so much,” said Mrs. Trujillo. “I’m proud that we’ve been part of the community.”

recipes. “It means a lot to people,” said Mrs. Trujillo, slipping her hand over his. “But I think you should be so proud of going into the business not knowing anything, and you had your own place by the time you were in your 30s.” Mr. Trujillo gives credit to Evelyn Hudson for that. While a student at Littleton High School, he worked for her at Country Kitchen, the large log building that is now the Inn at Hudson Gardens. They did everything in house, he said, which is pretty much how Jose operates — grinding meat and preparing everything fresh every day.

taurant, a place they can enjoy visiting for a margarita themselves and perhaps continue their Wednesday-night family gatherings. “The building is going to have to live on its own two feet like I did,” said Mr. Trujillo. “The economy, it’s hit everybody. We just want to get out of here while we’re ahead of the game.” “I hope they make a go of it,” agreed Slinkard. Asked to name his proudest business accomplishment, Mr. Trujillo, who twice served on city council, said it’s that he’s remained consistent and true to his family

Phyllis and Jose Trujillo are ready to rest. The family announced last week that they will soon serve the final meal in their Main Street restaurant, Jose’s, after 47 years of devoted care to the building, the business, the family recipes and the community. “After a great deal of thought, it is our decision to slow down after this September,” they wrote in a letter to friends and family. “Phyllis and I, as well as our daughters, Teri and Chris, have built our business as a point of destination and a Littleton landmark. We’re proud to have fed generations of families here in the city we love.” Behind the straightforward letter is a host of conflicting emotions for the Trujillos. They speak of a burden being lifted, of looking forward to traveling. Mrs. Trujillo would like to see the East Coast in autumn; Mr. Trujillo wants to ride the Mississippi River in a paddleboat. They both would like to see some festivals around the state other than Western Welcome Week for a change — in Palisade, perhaps. “Other people get to retire, why can’t we?” wondered daughter Chris Slinkard, who has grown children of her own. “The grandkids grew up here. It’s been our life. If I didn’t have Mom and Dad, there’s no way I could do it. I need the support they give.” Still, it’s been a difficult decision for them, one made with tears and some trepidation, they admit. “That’s the thing that will really hurt me, is if they take that mural down,” said Mr. Trujillo. Painted in 1976 by then-struggling artist Jose Zamora, Mr. Trujillo says it’s a composite of small-town Main Streets from days gone by. “It’s really an attention-getter,” he said. “Wherever you sit, the road is leading to you.” Their plan is to sell the building, but not the business.

sons and make public appearances and she landed right back in the world of swimming. “I thought I was hanging up my cap and goggles,” she said. “But a lot of times the best things in life happen by accident. I had spent 25 years entrenched in swimming, studying it, training, living and breathing it. To have the opportunity to share what I’ve learned with the next generation, the passion, the joy, is very meaningful.” In addition to teaching private lessons in Arizona, Hyman spends between one and three weekends per month on the road, running clinics and giving speeches such as she did in Highlands Ranch. The latter gives meaning to more than just Hyman, too. “She’s my favorite swimmer,” said Gianna Herrera, 11, of Highlands Ranch, a fellow butterfly specialist who said despite not being born when Hyman won Gold, she last watched Hyman’s Olympic race on YouTube the weekend before. “I want to be just like her when I grow up. I’m very excited to meet her and swim with her.”
By Ryan Boldrey
rboldrey@ourcoloradonews.com Before there was “Missy the Missile,” there was Misty Hyman; the 20-year-old swimmer from Arizona who stunned the world when she upset Susie O’Neill in the 2000 Sydney Games, capturing gold in the 200 butterfly and handing O’Neill her first loss in six years. About 150 people gave Hyman an Olympic-sized welcome Aug. 16 at Southridge Recreation Center in Highlands Ranch as the former champion took center stage yet again, delivering an inspirational speech to all those in attendance. Hyman, who spent the rest of the weekend putting on a trio of clinics for youth and adult swimmers, shared her story, which began as a 5-year-old asthmatic that couldn’t even finish her first race, to a girl who missed qualifying for the 1996 Atlanta Games by .003 seconds, to an underdog that shocked the world in 2000. “Sports are one of the best illustrations of human potential,” she told the crowd. “When you see Michael Phelps record his 22nd medal or a gymnast perform a perfect dismount you are reminded of what we, as humans, have the potential to do. “The reason we have races and the reason we live our lives is because on any given day, anyone who has done the work and has the courage to try their best has a chance to win. There are no guarantees ... it’s all a big risk. But as long you do your best along the way there are so many things that are going to help you with the rest of your life.” Hyman spent a lot of time talking with kids in the audi-

Hyman, who graduated from Stanford in 2002, went to Switzerland to earn her MBA after retiring from swimming in 2005.

Work to begin on car gallery, storage Vehicle Vault will be located near Lincoln Avenue, Twenty Mile Road By Chris Michlewicz
cmichlewicz@ ourcoloradonews.com A gallery of the world’s most sought-after collectible cars will make its home in Parker. The people behind Vehicle Vault, an expansive development that will provide secure storage and display space for some of the rarest and most valuable vehicles ever made, are set to break ground Aug. 23 southwest of Lincoln Avenue and Twenty Mile Road. Occupying roughly 20 acres, Vehicle Vault will include twelve storage condos for collectors of high-end automobiles. They will have the ability to maintain and display their prized collections in a country club-like atmosphere, and have access to services like waterless car washes. The cornerstone of Vehicle Vault,
however, is a 25,000-square-foot gallery that will showcase a collection of 38 exotic and classic cars owned by co-founders Erin and Daniel Dilley. The interactive and rotating exhibit displays and programs will be “designed to educate, inspire and foster an appreciation for this key element of our past, present and future,” an announcement about the groundbreaking ceremony says. Erin Dilley’s upbringing was marked by her self-described “obsession” with cars of all kinds. Likewise, Daniel grew up restoring classic cars and drove a 1968 Pontiac GTO as his first car. Erin Dilley’s father, who sold a company that developed a popular software program used in pharmacies, was always an avid collector, and she has amassed her own fleet of beautiful vehicles over the last five years. A few years back, after having trouble finding room to store the collection — ranging from trucks to an antique horseless carriage to the beefiest muscle cars — she floated the idea of creating a car museum.
“We all love cars and it keeps us together and bonded,” Erin Dilley said. “It’s an excuse to do what we love.” Her father offered his guidance, but insisted that the couple build the venture from the ground up themselves. After a year of design work and reviews, the Dilleys approached Parker officials with the idea. Parker Town Council signed off on the project earlier this month. Erin and Daniel Dilley, who have lived in Parker for five years, “felt strongly that this needed to be in Parker” because of their close connection with the town. A grand opening is tentatively targeted for next June. The gallery will be open to the public five days per week and admission will likely be around $10-$12. It will also host car shows and special events. Local car clubs will be invited to gather and start cruises, for example. “There is a culture in the community of car lovers,” said Greg Masinton, public relations representative for the project.

Taste of Lone Tree’s future uncertain Problem-plagued 2013 event leaves some ticket-holders and vendors feeling bitter By Jane Reuter

After an event one vendor called a black mark on the city that left many participants vowing never to return, the Taste of Lone Tree’s future is uncertain. The 6th annual event, held Aug. 10 and 11, was plagued by rain, food and alcohol shortages, decreased vendor participation and an apparent shortage of volunteers. Board members for the Lone Tree Chamber of Commerce, the event’s organizer, asked recently hired executive director Linda Harmon not to comment, and instead issued a three-paragraph statement Aug. 15. “We are disappointed that the event did not uphold the high standards many have come to expect when attending and we apologize for your frustrations,” the statement read. “A Taste of Lone Tree needs to reflect positively on the City of Lone Tree and its many offerings.” The chamber plans to hold a debriefing on the event in the next couple of weeks, board member Donna Russell said. The event’s future, “is certainly one of the questions we will be discussing,” she said, adding the chamber welcomes participation in the as-yet unscheduled discussion. Visitors complained about a variety of issues, including a lack of tables, seating and vendors, changes in the ticket prices, sample sizes and a fenced-off VIP area some found lackluster. Mother Nature inflicted the harshest blow to the event. A Saturday night rainstorm that left the Lincoln Commons ground muddy prompted organizers to delay Sunday’s opening an hour. As volunteers scrambled to spread mulch, hundreds gathered in the parking area near the front gate — too far from the entrance to see signs explaining the delay. Lone Tree Brewing Company co-owner John Winter said his employees were given poor information on numerous points, in-
cluding anticipated turnout. By mid-day Saturday, the brewery was tapped out of the beer it had planned for both days, with no ability to get more until Sunday. “I really don’t ever want to see our city, our community, subject to this type of mess again,” Winter said. “This was such a black mark on the community, I’m truly embarrassed. Unfortunately, most people see the Taste of Lone Tree as a reflection upon the city. People expected a nice event. It didn’t turn out that way.” Frustrated as he is, Winter said he would be there for a 2014 Taste of Lone Tree. “This is our back yard and I’m not going to abandon it,” he said. “We need to be a standup community that makes it right. If this is to continue, we can’t have a duplication of this in any way, shape or form.” Lone Tree City Councilmember Susan Squyer, a volunteer at this year’s event who co-organized a previous Taste, said volunteers worked frantically to try to meet demands. “I don’t have answers or know what was really happening at all,” she said. “I know there were a lot of disappointed customers.” That aside, Squyer wants the Taste to continue. “It’s been a signature event for Lone Tree,” she said. “But I would say that was probably a more accurate statement before this last weekend.” Vendors said turnout, estimated at 8,000 to 10,000 over two days, was a bright spot in the event. “It was probably the biggest one we’ve seen,” said Brio general manager Mark Lausman. “I think what happened was that the crowds were bigger than people thought.” “Overall, it was pretty good exposure,” said La Sandia’s Matthew Swigart. “I was a little upset it wasn’t more organized. People I talked to were upset there weren’t more restaurants. “We’ve done it the last six years, but we’re probably not going to do it next year. It’s just getting worse every year.” To participate in the debriefing, call Russell at 720-363-5578.
Smokin’ Brew BBQ to hit Parker Competitors contend for prizes, fill stomachs of hungry patrons By Chris Michlewicz
cmichlewicz@ourcoloradonews.com Fifty of Colorado’s best barbecue artists are preparing to fire up their grills in downtown Parker. The smell of freshly cooked meat will hover over the fifth annual Smokin’ Brew BBQ in the Parker Station parking lot Aug. 30-Sept. 1. The Kansas City Barbeque Society-sanctioned event could bring more than 20,000 people to the area for a taste of summer, and the master grillers are ready for the hungry crowds. Competitors are judged in different categories and awarded for best sauces, seasonings and meats. They’re contending for $8,500 in prize money, trophies and titles. But it’s truly the patrons who win during the Smokin’ Brew, which was founded by the Cherry Creek Valley Rotary Club of Parker. John Diak, a member of the club and a Parker town councilman, says the familyoriented event has something for everyone. Aside from the delicious barbecue and wide assortment of side dishes, there is a lineup of live music culminating with headlining band the Groove Hawgs. Cow Pie Bingo, a fundraiser that was introduced last year, will be back by popular demand. A 50-foot-by-40-foot grid is painted on the ground and surrounded by a fence. A cow is led onto the grid to do its “business” and the owner of the square with the majority of the cow pie will win half the amount raised in sold tickets, up to $10,000. The main attraction, however, lies in the finely honed techniques and secret recipes concocted by the grill masters. From brisket and ribs to chicken and pulled pork, the

succulent meats ensure that no one leaves with an appetite. The exhibition helps local companies, like Littleton-based Golden Toad Inc., make a name for themselves. Golden Toad, created by entrepreneur Todd Jilbert, is participating in the Smokin’ Brew BBQ for the fourth time. It has earned the top prize in the sauce category, along with other notable top-10 finishes. Jilbert has been unable to travel the barbecue competition circuit in recent years because of the success of his seasonings and sauces, four of which are selling well at Kroger and Whole Foods in the Rocky Mountain region. Gaining notoriety among the die-hard barbecuers is something of an accomplishment. Last year, Golden Toad’s ribs had the best showings. This year, the brisket has been placing better. The distinctions and publicity have been a catalyst for revenue, but Jilbert breaks down one of his main goals with a simple statement. “It’s all about bragging rights,” he says. “It’s competitive.” Hours for the event are 4 p.m. to 10 p.m. Aug. 30, 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. Aug. 31 and 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Sept. 1. The event is free, but tickets must be purchased for food and drink. For more information, call 303-3048085 or visit www.smokinbrewbbq.com.

More than a fashion statement Playing libero means a different jersey, skill set By Jim Benton
jbenton@ourcoloradonews.com Merry Hammack is frequently asked why she wears a different colored jersey. Hammack is a senior on the Ponderosa volleyball team, and a libero. “Everyone in high school asks me because they have no idea,” said Hammack. “Why are you not wearing a black uniform instead of a gold one? Then I have to go through and explain.” Libero is a position that is not limited by rotation rules and can substitute freely. That’s the main reason for the different jersey so the libero can be tracked. The libero, or bro as it is sometimes called, is responsible for passing, ball control, digs and getting to every ball she can possibly retrieve. She can’t, however, attack and can serve once in every rotation. “We have a black jersey and a cardinal jersey,” said Ponderosa coach Rob Graham. “The libero must have a contrasting
color. The way we present it is we give our libero a gold jersey. So we call it the gold badge of honor. When you are wearing this, everybody in the gym sees that gold badge back there and understands that we as a coaching staff say that is our best defender and passer. Only one person gets to wear the separate jersey and it’s a pretty big deal for coaches.” Chaparral coach T.R. Ellis knows she needs a good athlete and leader to be the libero. “What I tell my kids is the libero has to be tons better than any other defender on the court because she is going to get to play six rotations,” explained Ellis. “So she has to be substantially better because you want her controlling the ball. She needs to be someone who is quick on her feet, can make great decisions, can read where the attackers are going to hit the ball and get there. “She has to be comfortable going for a ball outside of her body, stay on her feet if she can, but if she has to go to the floor, be comfortable playing the ball then hitting the floor and recovering on the floor. She has to have great hands and she has to be able to put the ball up and be a great
passer as well. She’s the quarterback of the defense.” Libero is an important position that often goes unnoticed except for the different colored jersey. The position was added to the game in the late 1990s to help create longer rallies. “It’s a thankless position,” said Graham. “It’s overlooked. If I was to make a team you might want to choose a big outside hitter as your No. 1 choice and maybe center right up there. With those players, you want a libero. Volleyball is definitely turning into a big person’s sport. The libero gives a home for somebody that is maybe undersized but has great speed and a great feel for the game.”
ARAPAHOE
Hammack, who is 5 feet 5, wishes more people would notice her play rather the odd jersey she wears. “It’s really a bummer to see people noticing only the big hitters and the middles,” said Hammack. “We should get some recognition for all the hard work we put in.” This season in the Continental League there will be several teams hoping to gain recognition. Mountain Vista and Legend are two of the preseason favorites with Rock Canyon, Ponderosa and Chaparral expected to be contenders. Lutheran, the defending Class 2A state champion, has only three starters back and will have to mature as the season progress.

Facing a split-second decision Goalkeepers must be quick of mind and body on penalty kicks By Jim Benton
jbenton@ourcolorado news.com Penalty kicks have been labeled as a nolose situation for soccer goalkeepers. Shooters are expected to score, and the pressure is on them. If the keeper should make the save, he’s a hero. “When I work with a goalkeeper I talk to them about watching any clues the shooter might give away like where they might look at the last second, where their plant foot is, if they open their hips or not,” said Legend coach Jordan Ivey. “Then I’ll talk to them

about things they can do on the line that might throw the strike off a little. In the end though I tell them to go with their gut and go all out when they dive.” There have been several studies made on penalty kicks. One done at the 1998 World Cup, showed that on penalty kicks, including those in shootouts, 70 percent of the kicks went to the opposite side from the kicker’s dominate foot. A 2011 report published in the Journal of Psychological Science found keepers dove to the right 71 percent of the time when their team was losing and 48 percent when ahead and 49 percent when tied. ESPN’s Sports Science claims saving a penalty kick is one of the toughest tasks in any sport and cites statistics that World Cup goalkeepers correctly picked the direction of penalty kicks 57 percent of the time but saved only 22 percent of the shots. Legend senior goalie Eric Smith knows the chances of keepers stopping penalty kicks are not good. “The odds are definitely stacked against us,” he said. “You have four different corners to dive to and pray we pick the right one. Sometimes we get a little lucky. Otherwise you don’t really have much of a chance.” Smith has learned some tips to sway the odds a little in his favor. “The first thing a lot of coaches actually teach you is to pick a side,” he said. “And then as you get more experience, take penalty kicks in practice or you start to get experience in games or in shootouts, you learn to pick up tell-tale signs of what way a person is going to kick the ball. “So I look at the shooter and see what way he is lining up, if he’s right footed or left footed, depending upon certain signals he’s giving me, his eyes or something I’ll pick a side to go to either high or low. Left high, I’ll pick that first, but when he runs at the ball if I see like his hips switch to the right side or see his approach differently, I’ll make a split second decision. But before he evens runs at the ball I’ll have a side picked if he doesn’t give me any other sign.” Valor Christian senior goalie Connor Georgopulos, a four-year starter, acknowl-
edges that stopping a shot from a shooter 12 yards in front of him is difficult. “It is probably the hardest thing about being a goalkeeper,” said Georgopulos. “A lot people guess before the player even runs up to the ball. I don’t like to guess. I kind of wait until he runs up where he is opening his hips or where his foot is planted and make my decision that way. I have possibly a second to make a decision. “I’ve heard that is a no-lose situation but there are sometimes when you are close and you think you could have got there or you might have been able to get there. It still is a goal and you feel like you’ve lost but

for the most part it is just luck so you really didn’t lose either way.” Cherry Creek coach Chelo Curi believes keepers need to pay more attention to the shooters than relying on luck. “Goalkeepers need to learn to recognize player movement in order to predict which way they are going to shoot a penalty kick,” said Curi. “They can also just flat-out guess one way or the other. However, there are certain clues top-level keepers learn in order to make a better educated guess on which way to go. Some goalkeepers are quite good at this skill while others are not.”

one cerCherry Creek has domiorder nated Colorado boys high which school tennis for the past good four decades. The explanation for the Bruins’ supremacy is simple - good doubles play. Creek has won 38 Colorado state tennis championships in 41 years. The Bruins have crowned 117 state champion doubles teams, 28 in No. 1 doubles, 34 in No. 2 doubles, 31 in No. 3 doubles and 24 in No. 4 doubles. “Doubles is interesting,” said Creek coach Kirk Price. “High school-level tennis players generally love singles. There are those few boys that just thrive in doubles. They love it, love the strategy and enjoy what goes on in winning a doubles match.” Over the years, Price has adjusted the way he selects his doubles teams. “Historically, I always used singles to determine the varsity team,” admitted Price. “Over the years there were half dozen great, great doubles players who never got to play varsity because they were never good enough in singles to break into the top 11 but they were among the top two or three doubles players on the team. “A few years ago we changed. Now we use the singles challenges for only the singles positions. We
use what we refer to as doubles clusters.” It takes a different kind of player in doubles to be successful. “It takes kids that are able to evaluate their opponents and the weaknesses of their opponents,” said Price. “I’ve had kids that were mentally so good in doubles and yet physically are not even close at times to the skills of the opponents. “They are not as good of tennis players with their strokes or tennis game but they are so much smarter and know how doubles works that they become state champions defeating people that are significantly better.” Senior Jake Miller was half of the 2012 state champion No. 2 doubles team with Connor Petrou, who has graduated. “Doubles are fun but I really would like to play singles,” said Miller. “We won last year because we worked well together as a doubles team. Cherry Creek tennis philosophy is to be aggressive and we usually both moved up to take control of the net and the tempo of play. Of course, we both had to be ready to move back quickly if the opponent hit a deep shot.” Harshil Dwivedi is a junior who played last season with graduated Gifford Mellick on Creek’s state champion No. 4 doubles team. “I like to play singles but my experience in doubles

The duo were among those at the Aug. 13 Cherry Creek practice seeking to be one of the doubles teams on the Bruins varsity roster this season. Photo by Tom Munds helped me improve my skills as a tennis player,” said Dwivedi. “I learned how to make the transition from deep in the court to controlling the net. Chemistry is a key for a doubles team. Last year my partner and I clicked and worked together to cover the entire court, sometimes both at the net and sometimes one at the net and one back near the baseline.” Creek and Fairview are the expected to be the top contenders for the state championship this season but Mountain Vista has five returning state qualifiers plus outstanding freshmen Ben Antonsen and transfer Austin Groyoncowski.
“Doubles pairings are very important in trying to catch those teams in the state of Colorado,” said Mountain Vista coach Jim Flanigan. “I believe that finding players who mesh well together is very important in doubles and that means in personality style as well as in playing style. “For my players it is very important to be good at the net and be willing to close off the net when playing doubles. Also high school tennis is one of the only places where players are part of a team and sometimes one must sacrifice to be part of that team and sometimes that means playing doubles.”

Europeans dominate in Colorado U.S. team loses Solheim Cup for first time on American soil By Jim Benton
jbenton@ourcoloradonews.com It was a historic day on Aug. 18 at Colorado Golf Club, but it didn’t involve a miracle on the greens. Team Europe retained the Solheim Cup with an 18-10 victory over the United States and won for the first time in seven events played in America. The win marked the first time a team from Europe has won back-to-back Cups and the margin of victory was the largest in the history of the event, which began in 1990. The United States went into the final day staring at a substantial five-point deficit. The Americans could not pull off a miracle comeback as the Europeans won 7½-4½ in the 12 singles matches played on Aug. 18. There were five singles matches that were halved, the most in history. “We took it to them and they couldn’t answer,” said Europe’s Suzann Pettersen who resides in Oslo, Norway. Pettersen was right. Team Europe played superior golf and putted much better on the quick greens. “They played some great golf this week and really deserved to win,” said U.S. captain Meg Mallon. “I give credit to them, they played well, had a hole-in-one (Anna Nordqvist on Aug. 17), a chip-in and we just didn’t have putts drop for us. The team gave it their all. I love my team. “This (Solheim Cup) is the greatest show in women’s golf. The way we played 16, 17, and 18 is what made the difference. It wasn’t for the lack of preparation because we played the golf course quite a bit. So it wasn’t like a surprise for us. It was just a matter of dropping putts on those holes and unfortunately it was the Europeans.” Over the last three holes, the Europeans held a 17-10 edge in holes won.
European captain Liselotte Neumann hoists the Solheim Cup in victory during closing ceremonies, held Aug. 18 at the Colorado Golf Club in Parker. “We just did not make the putts,” added Mallon. “I saw more putts go over the hole on our side. It wasn’t for lack of not having good rolls. We just didn’t make them. With such a young team (six European Solheim rookies) with nothing to lose, it just seemed like they were a bit looser, they were making more putts and we were not. And that’s what it came down to.” The Europeans wrapped up their second consecutive Cup victory on the 18th hole in the fifth singles match when Caroline Hedwall, a captain’s pick from Sweden who won a crucial half point to secure Team Europe’s victory over the United States two years ago in Ireland, once again delivered the clinching blow. She defeated Michelle Wie, 1 up, after coming back from a 56-minute lightning delay, with a 4½-foot birdie on the final hole. There were still seven matches left to be
completed and all the Americans could do was play for pride. “I just can’t tell you how proud I am of all the players,” said European captain Liselotte Neuman. “They really played well. They just played tremendous golf.” Hedwall won all five of the matches she played becoming the first player in Solheim Cup to do so in a single tournament. “I don’t know what to say,” said Hedwall, 24. “It’s unbelievable. We knew we could win here. I was really pumped up on 17 when they blew the horn (for the lightning delay). I went in and gave a little talk to myself and I went out there and I was just as pumped up as I was before.” Stacy Lewis and Sweden’s Anna Nordqvist had the honors as the first twosome to tee off and wound up halving an up-anddown match. “I was hitting good putts, they were just lipping out,” said Lewis. “That’s golf for you. You have to stay patient, stay positive. I hit

a lot of really good shots. I felt fortunate to get a halve.” Charley Hull, the 17-year-old from Kettering, England, who is the youngest player in Solheim Cup history, picked up a point for Team Europe with a 5-and-4 win over Paula Creamer. “After the first day, I really got used to the golf course and I just relaxed and made quite a few birdies over the last two days,” said Hull who went 2-1-0 in her Solheim debut. “I really didn’t feel nervous. Because this is how I always look at golf, I’m not going to die if I miss it. Just hit it and find it and hit it again.” Creamer, one of America’s top players, didn’t have much positive to say. “I just didn’t bring it,” she admitted. “The Solheim Cup brings the best and worst out of you.” Europe’s Carlota Ciganda whipped Morgan Pressel, 4 and 2, to set the stage for Hedwall’s decisive win. Team USA trailed the Europeans the entire three days of the competition, falling behind 5-3 after Foursomes and Four-ball on the opening day. The Americans closed to within 6½-5½ after the Foursomes Aug. 17, but disaster struck when the Europeans swept all four best-ball matches in the afternoon. The U.S. played well at times but not good enough. The Europeans made most of the big shots and big putts. The Americans had myriad putts roll inches past the cup or lip out. “Obviously, yesterday (Aug. 17) afternoon hurt us a lot,” said Lewis. “They holed putts when they needed to and hit the shots. There’s always pressure to win, whether we won it two years ago, whether we didn’t, whether we’re home, whether we are away. They’re (Europeans) getting better every year and they’re making this (Solheim Cup) what it should be. It’s good for the event.” The U.S. still leads the Solheim Cup alltime standings, 8-5, with the 2015 Solheim Cup scheduled to be played in St. Leon-Rot, Germany. “We have two years to get ready for Germany and we’re going to get that Cup back,” said Wie.
