Englewood holiday contest commences P7
Construction of a mid-block crossing in the 3400 block of South Broadway remains on hold until safety features are completed. That was the information in an email from Medici, the company developing a project in the 3400 block of South Acoma Street, which was sent out on Nov. 14 to business owners on the west side of the 3400 block of South Broadway. The email stated that concrete work on the crossing was completed and the city had completed sign installation and crosswalk painting. However, the email also stated the crossing will not be opened to pedestrians until Xcel Energy crews install two streetlights, one on the west side of Broadway near the crossing and one in the pedestrian area in the median SEE CROSSING, P26

Yoga instructor, student and lover of music and cooking About me I’m a yoga instructor at Outlaw Yoga on Main Street. I was born in Denver and I’ve lived in the basically same 10-mile-radius my whole life. I love Littleton because there are so many cool independent businesses that have a mission. Why yoga? I started doing yoga about six years ago, and I lost a lot of weight. I lost about 100 pounds in the first year of doing yoga. And the mental transformation was even more drastic than that. I just fell in love and wanted to share it so I jumped right into teaching, and I’ve been an instructor for about five years. ‘A fun combination’ I’ve been really lucky in that I’ve gotten to make most of my living related to yoga, but I also have a parttime job at Cold Stone Creamery. I’m also a student at Metro — I’m majoring in philosophy and minoring in urban agriculture. It’s a fun combination. However, I don’t foresee myself

Search for missing Littleton woman continues Police search landfill in investigation into disappearance STAFF REPORT
Littleton Police and other agencies have begun searching a landfill near Denver International Airport for evidence of a woman who has been missing since the summer. Charlene Roxanne Voight, 36, was reported missing by her family on July 8. She had not been heard from since June 29. Her car was recovered at a dirt lot at 5099 S. Rio
Grande St. in Littleton. The lot and an apartment in the downtown Littleton apartment complex at 5151 S. Rio Grande St. have been investigated as crime scenes as well. Cmdr. Trent Cooper of the Littleton Police Department would not specify exactly what investigators are searching for in the Tower Landfill in Commerce City. “We’re looking for anything related to the case,” he said. He said that because trash is dumped in areas of the landfill based on the day, an isolated area to search has been identified, and heavy equipment is being used to scoop up and spread out the refuse so it can be sifted
through by hand. Investigators could potentially be on the scene for months, he said, and winter weather could slow the search. “We feel like we owe it to Charlene’s family and to the community to do everything we can do to bring her home,” he said. In addition to Littleton police, the Colorado National Guard, Colorado Bureau of Investigation, Colorado State Patrol, Arapahoe County Sheriff ’s Department, Jefferson County Sheriff ’s Department and 18th Judicial District Attorney’s Office are assisting in searching the landfill.

Weekday Escape to
Grand County
Local merchants differ on higher minimum wage With voter approval, Colorado’s hourly rate will rise to $12 per hour over three years BY KYLE HARDING KHARDING@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
With lower weekday rates, uncrowded slopes to explore and our convenient location to Denver, Grand County is the perfect destination for a weekday escape. Discover our quaint towns, variety of winter activities and family-
Greg Reinke, owner of Reinke Bros. Halloween and Costume Superstore in downtown Littleton, has concerns about Colorado’s newly approved minimum wage that will pay workers $12 an hour by 2020. “A kid comes into my store, he’s 16, he wants a job — I’m going to give him $24,000 a year to train him how to use the register, how to clean bathrooms?” said Reinke, also president of the Historic Downtown Littleton Merchants Association. But Littleton resident Michael Kessler, who owns Sanyork Fair Trade in Denver and worked on the Business for a Fair Minimum Wage campaign, thinks the increase is long overdue. “We feel that $10-or-under an hour is not a living wage, especially in this economy and in Colorado,” he said. In the Nov. 8 election, Colorado voters favored Amendment 70’s incremental minimum wage increase by 55.2 percent to 44.7 percent. The wage will jump from $8.31 per hour to $9.30 on Jan. 1 and it will rise to $12 per hour by January 2020, with 90-cent increases in 2018, 2019 and 2020. Activists around the country have been calling for a $15-per-hour minimum wage since at least early 2015. Amendment 70 was crafted as a compromise. “There were tough conversations around that,” Patty Kupfer, campaign manager for Colorado Families for a Fair Wage, said at a discussion of the amendment at St. Andrew Methodist Church in Highlands Ranch in September. The wage hike drew opposition from chamber of commerce groups
‘We feel that $10-orunder an hour is not a living wage, especially in this economy and in Colorado’ Michael Kessler, owner of Sanyork Fair Trade and restaurant and hotel organizations around the state. Reinke said the merchants association did not take a position, but he knows many members were opposed. Sanyork Fair Trade imports goods from Peru, Mexico and Guatemala and has five employees, all of whom make above the $12-per-hour threshold, said Kessler, who believes the minimum wage would ideally be $15 per hour but understands not all businesses can pay that highly. “I’m sure some businesses have very low margins,” he said. “It doesn’t help anybody if the wages go up and the businesses don’t make any money and go out of business.” Reinke said he would have possibly supported a similar measure with an age cutoff. “I get that people need to make a livable wage,” he said. The current minimum wage amounts to about $17,250 a year before taxes for a full-time worker. The wage in place on Jan. 1 will earn that employee $19,344, while the $12 per hour in 2020 will equal just shy of $25,000 per year. After 2020, the wage will continue to be adjusted annually based on the consumer price index for the state. The minimum wage for tipped workers will remain $3.02 below the minimum wage, meaning it will rise to $8.98 in 2020.

Streets at SouthGlenn hosts free holiday events Shopping is made into a community-focused, family event BY STEPHANIE MASON SMASON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
The Streets at SouthGlenn is going beyond decorations for its busiest season of the year and will attract customers with a variety of free events. “We consider ourselves part of the community first and foremost,” said Keri Navarette, SouthGlenn’s senior asset manager. “We try to bring (people) out with these events free of charge and, hopefully, they will shop with our merchants.” Between Nov. 26 and Dec. 18, the shopping center in Centennial transforms into a holiday escape. Shoppers young and old wobble on ice skates in the outdoor ice rink and Santa holds excited children on his lap as they exclaim about the toys they absolutely need to see under their Christmas tree this year. Events are planned every weekend through Dec. 18 in hopes of attracting shoppers to the area. December, of course, is the busiest month of the year. Last holiday season, traffic increased 23 percent during December, according to Navarette. On Saturdays, carriage rides, Dickens carolers and visits with Santa will all be free events. Carolers wander around and serenade shoppers from 1-4 p.m. and free carriage rides begin at 4:30 p.m. and end at 7:30 p.m. The ice rink will be open most days and costs $7 for adults and $4 for children. To appeal to more diverse holiday traditions, there will also be a menorah lighting for Hanukkah, which runs from Dec. 24-Jan. 1. The holiday events have been in planning since July. About 300 trees are lit throughout the shopping cen-

PHOTOS BY STEPHANIE MASON ter, 6991 S. Vine St. A 35-foot Douglas fir has been decorated as the holiday centerpiece and placed in the community area. The Make-A-Wish Believe program at the SouthGlenn Macy’s store has proven to be a popular holiday experience, Navarette said. Letters written to Santa and put in the dedicated box in the store are picked up by the Make-A-Wish Foundation. Macy’s donates a dollar to the foundation for every letter received. Last year, more than 8,000 children submitted letters. Between eight and 10 vendors in the community contribute to the production and maintenance of the holiday celebration efforts. One of the principals of the shopping center, David Goldberg, said he has been shopping at SouthGlenn for more than 40 years. Goldberg helped reopen The Streets at SouthGlenn — formerly Southglenn Mall — in 2009 and has
Candlelight Walk sets season aglow Annual event turns Littleton’s Main Street into a festive place for families STAFF REPORT
The day after Thanksgiving, Littleton welcomes the holiday season with the annual Candlelight Walk. Santa Claus and his sleigh will start down Main Street at 6 p.m. Nov. 25, lighting more than a million lights in the trees as he passes each block. Santa will draw the name of a child to help him light the Christmas tree in the plaza next to The Melting
Pot, at the west end of Main Street. Afterward, at the Town Hall Arts Center, 2450 W. Main St., Santa will be available for photos and Christmas wishes. The event will also feature live reindeer, sponsored by Bradford Auto Body and Western Welcome Week. Donations of non-perishable food for Inter-Faith Community Services are accepted during the evening as well as toys for the Arapahoe Santa Claus Shop. Main Street merchants stay open late for those who want to start their holiday shopping. Main Street will close to traffic at 4 p.m. For more information, call 303-795-3863.
initiated community events throughout the year. He said he enjoys taking his own children to the ice rink. “We want everyone to shop, but we also want people to feel comfortable and enjoy themselves,” Goldberg said. “One of the nice things is that it is outdoors, so it is a nice natural feel for folks to walk around.”

Holiday parade returns to Englewood on Dec. 3 Route along Englewood Parkway will be led by police cars, motorcycles BY TOM MUNDS TMUNDS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Englewood’s 2016 holiday parade makes its comeback when the unit steps off at 3 p.m. Dec. 3 at Englewood Parkway and Cherokee Street and heads west on the parkway to the Englewood Civic Center. “The holidays are about kids and
so is the parade. A goal was to enlist community involvement in the parade, and this year’s parade involves many from our community as we have had great cooperation from the city, fire department, schools and business community,” said Randy Penn, Greater Englewood Chamber of Commerce director. “Police cars will lead the parade and we will have fire department equipment in the parade too. Other entries will include the high school and possibly the middle school band, plus marching groups from Englewood schools. We also have about 20 businesses that will have parade entries. It is shaping up as a nice
community parade.” He said last year’s parade was canceled because of some glitches in the planning process. But those have been ironed out and the parade is back. Penn said about 30 volunteers are needed to help put on the parade. Ten of the volunteers will arrive about 2 p.m. to help with staging the entries and the other 20 will help with traffic control along the route. Anyone interested in volunteering can call the chamber at 303-789-4473 or call Toni Arnoldy at Englewood Police Department at 303-762-2490. Englewood police cars and motorcycles will lead the way, and they will
be followed by the color guard from Englewood Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 322. The finale of the parade will be Santa riding in an antique fire truck. When the parade wraps up, vocal groups will perform a brief concert that will be followed by performances by choral groups from Englewood’s schools. Lighting of Englewood’s tree will be part of the parade activities for the first time in the brief history of the resurrected parade.

Holiday lighting entries are sought in Englewood Businesses, residents decorating for holidays can enter contest BY TOM MUNDS TMUNDS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Traditionally, Thanksgiving kicks off the holiday season, and for some people it also means the beginning of untangling the strings of lights and dusting off the lawn displays used to decorate the house or business. This is the 29th year the Keep
Englewood Beautiful Commission has sponsored its holiday lighting contest to encourage residents and businesses to display their decorations throughout the holidays. The deadline for entries is 4:30 p.m. Dec. 2. Entry forms are available at the Englewood Civic Center, Englewood Public Library, Englewood Recreation Center and the Malley Senior Recreation Center. The entry forms also are available online and can be found by going to the city website at www.englewoodgov.org, clicking on the “boards and commissions” icon and going to the Keep Englewood Beautiful Commission page.
A panel of judges will judge the entries on Dec. 13, evaluating displays for artistic effect, craftsmanship and originality. The results of the judging will be announced during the Dec. 19 Englewood City Council meeting. The names and addresses of the winners will be announced and ribbons presented in categories including mayor’s choice, lifetime holiday spirit award, judges’ choice and honorable mention. Doug Cohn grew up in Englewood. He said he remembers when the city put up a lot of holiday decorations. “I remember in the ‘60s when the
Real Estate
city used to string lights and decorations across Broadway,” he said. “A lot of people still put out decorations. While there still a lot of decorated homes, it seems to me the number of outdoor decorations I see around Englewood has declined a bit in the last few years.” Cohn and several other longtime residents said Englewood had a lighting contest in the 1950s and 1960s but it sort of died out. However, 29 years ago, the Keep Englewood Beautiful Commission stepped up, revived the event and began sponsoring the contest as an annual event.

At dusk, Santa will help city officials, who will probably enlist the help of a couple of children to flip the switch turning on the lights on the tree and surrounding area. The tree is the centerpiece for Englewood Civic Center during the holidays. The large tree is 35 feet tall. The tree is made of five metal frame sections that are stacked atop each other. When a frame is completed, those assembling the tree began attaching branches. Each branch already has its lights attached and the lights on each branch connect together so when the switch is thrown, the tree is illuminated by about 10,000 lights. There are also about 5,000 ornaments adorning the tree. Additionally, about 50 trees in the area
are strung with lights. The estimated 3,200 strings of lights, if hooked end to end, would stretch about five miles. The Englewood Holiday Parade was started by Cinderella City merchants in the late 1960s to bring Santa to the mall and, when the merchants decided to no longer fund the parade, the city took it over. It was a pretty big event with a number of marching bands and floats. The parade continued until the city decided in 2003 to no longer hold the parade, because it was too expensive and there was not the private financial support to continue holding the event. Englewood businesswoman Rosemarie Cabral headed the 2010 effort to again hold the holiday parade. She got the support of some businesses and the Greater Englewood Chamber of Commerce to get it going.

Happy Thanksgiving after Thanksgiving — and keep on being thankful WINNING WORDS
Michael Norton
E
very year it seems like the Christmas music starts earlier and the holiday promotions and advertising start even earlier. I mean, we barely get past Halloween and we are quickly immersed in the chaos of the Christmas holiday. Now don’t get me wrong, I truly love Christmas and I give thanks for the true meaning of the holiday, I just wish that somehow we could minimize the commercialization of the holiday and get back to what it is really all about. With that said, how many of us fall victim to that same rush and crush of the holiday? Has Thanksgiving become just another holiday sandwiched in somewhere between The Fourth of July and Christmas? Maybe we allow it
to happen or we just don’t know how to stop the wave of promotions and hype that have taken over the holidays. I mean, here we are on Thursday giving thanks and then waking up at 3 in the morning to tackle “Black Friday.” For me, Thanksgiving is one of my very favorite holidays. Not only because we get to be with family and friends and enjoy the amazing meals and desserts, but also because we are intentionally put in a position to give thanks for all we have and to express gratitude for all of those people who are so very near and dear to us. And for many of us, our favorite part of the holiday is the access to those scrumptious leftovers. Turkey sandwiches, turkey soup,
turkey salad, and not to mention all of the extra apple, pumpkin and chocolate cream pie. Some of us get only a couple of days of leftovers and others stretch it out over a week or more. So if we can enjoy the benefits of the leftover turkey, why can’t we seem to remember to enjoy the benefits of appreciation and giving thanks after Thanksgiving has come and gone? Leftover gratitude, I love it! We have our routines, and as we get closer to the big holidays our routines sometimes get compromised, as we are trying to squeeze everything into an abbreviated window of time. Our daily routines might include our morning SEE NORTON, P11

GUEST COLUMN
Linda Newell
t’s that time again when families are cooking together, laughing together, and yes, possibly arguing together. This year, some are excited about the Thanksgiving traditions of food and football, and others are steeped in fear, depression or anxiety and trying to get out of going. But all are probably dreading the dinner conversations about politics or the life choices of our siblings. Any way we feel about the recent presidential election, it’s still up to us to figure out how we’re going to live together — with our kids in the same schools together, walking into the

It’s you and I who are in charge of our behavior at Thanksgiving dinner. It’s you and I who decide how we interact with each other; with compassion, fear or even hate.

Thanksgiving hasn’t been “rooned” (re: Danny DeVito) by the weasels Craig Marshall and stoats Smith who have turned meaningful moments and events and dates and holidays into cash register ringing, chipmunk singing, Gagagoogoo extravaganzas. “Here he goes, Martha.” Black Friday, Christmas, New Year’s Eve, and the Super Bowl are waiting in the wings to batter me around immediately after the cranberry sauce has been removed from the table.

Great Lakes lighthouse. It is no more than a day of thankfulness and food. I am thankful for the memories of my mother and father, for my friendships, and for the Rolling Stones. I am thankful that none of my friends makes quotation marks in the air with their fingertips. I am thankful that my name is not Ken Bone or Helen Twelvetrees. I am thankful that I didn’t invest in Chipotle. I am thankful that “Seinfeld” is no longer in production. “Oy, Martha.” For one entire day, midnight to midnight, I will be a sweetheart. Nothing is going to bother me. When it comes to my neighbors, I will say to myself, “It could be worse. They could be raising dingoes in the back yard instead of weeds.” Of course, Thanksgiving can be an opportunity for a dysfunctional family to look at each other across the table and get out the scrapbook. “Did not.” SEE SMITH, P11

SMITH: Don’t tell me when it’s time to celebrate someone or something FROM PAGE 10
“Did too.” “Drop dead.” “Pass the mashed potatoes, then drop dead.” I am thankful for the humble ellipsis … An ellipsis allows me to say something without saying anything. I am thankful for the internet, because it enables me to cobble together one of these columns, and give the impres-
sion that I am knowledgeable, when actually I can only name six state capitols. Or is it “capitals”? That’s an old joke: What’s the capital of Ohio? It’s “O.” I am thankful that dogs don’t hold it against us, what they have been through, when we adopt them. I just learned that my mother had something called “reactive attachment disorder.” I wish I had known sooner. My mother was adopted,
but not soon enough. By the time she was adopted, she felt unwanted and unloved, even though she was wanted and loved. She protected herself by criticizing others, perhaps before they could criticize her. We had several epic Thanksgivings when I was Holden Caulfield Jr. On the other hand, Smitty forgave or forgot the two owners ahead of me. Thankfully.
I am not crazy about being told when to celebrate someone or something. That goes for Mother’s Day, Father’s Day and Valentine’s Day. That’s someone’s idea of making a penny. I was asked to draw the fifth grade Thanksgiving mural at Eberwhite Elementary School in Ann Arbor, Michigan. There are no photographs of it, and if there were, I’d try to suppress them. I’m sure that I drew pil-
grims and Indians, and picnic tables. Badly. I didn’t know it at the time, but it was the start of something that became my life. Making art. I am always thankful for that too. “He almost sounds human sometimes, Martha.” Craig Marshall Smith is an artist, educator and Highlands Ranch resident.

NEWELL: Listen to your family members with a desire to understand them FROM PAGE 10
So what are you going to do about it? How can you show up to dinner and be authentic while not “creating a scene?” Should you “tape your mouth shut, sit down, and eat”? Well, that might be close, actually. You certainly don’t want tape on your mouth, but if you’re the one usually doing most of the talking, it could help all of your relationships to do less talking and more listening. When was the last time you truly listened to your family members, with openness and a sincere desire to understand their pain or values? Or if you’re the one usually quiet and listening to everyone else, what’s on your mind? No one can guess what you’re thinking or believing unless you share that out loud. So, speak up and declare your voice! This election has surprisingly taught us that we need to listen more to each other. It has become clear that although perhaps awkward and uncomfortable,
we need to reach out and listen consciously to each other. I have gratitude for that because in doing so, we may grow in empathy for each other, and hopefully choose to live with deeper compassion and kindness. Now, I’m not saying that the president doesn’t have any impact on your life, especially if you are one of those being targeted right now. But I am grateful we live in a country with three branches of government at local, state, and federal levels, where there are some checks and balances. I’m reminded of how my parents inspired me to live my life with integrity, accountability, and compassion, and … an “attitude of gratitude.” No matter how difficult times got (and they did), we as a family would continue to persevere and be grateful for what was working well in our lives. We were taught that we had a choice of how we lived daily — in complaint or gratitude. Even in difficult times when we sit down together, we can look for that one
NORTON: As with New Year’s Eve, some people establish goals and quickly lose interest FROM PAGE 10
cup of coffee, a workout, maybe a little Bible study, getting to work, handling our tasks and to-do’s, stopping by our favorite lunch place or enjoying our lunch made at home. What if we built in time to our daily routine to recognize and appreciate what we have been blessed with in this life, including all of the wonderful people in our lives? I love being at the dinner table at Thanksgiving and hearing what everyone has to share regarding what they are most thankful for. I too get caught up in the ceremony of the day and maybe get a little too amped up about what I am thankful for. But more than the holiday, I enjoy the halo effect of Thanksgiving. I love to be re-inspired to give thanks and show gratitude wherever and whenever possible. To me, the Thanksgiving holiday is kind of like New Year’s Eve. On New Year’s Eve, most of us get inspired to set new goals, drop bad habits, and renew our interests in meaningful work or activities. Thanksgiving is the same in that it should inspire us to maintain the spirit
of gratitude for the next 365 days. And you see, just like New Year’s Eve where some people establish goals and quickly lose interest within a few days, people who celebrate Thanksgiving and share their appreciation on that day seem to quickly forget their blessings as they rush into the end of year priorities and holidays. Staying committed to an attitude of gratitude takes work,and that is why we must build it into our daily routines and internalize the importance of showing gratitude and appreciation. So how about you? Is Thanksgiving a “one-and-done” holiday for you or do you use it as a time of year to renew your passion and intent around being grateful for everyone and all things in your life? Either way I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@gmail. com. And when we can give thanks after Thanksgiving, it really will be a better than good week.

LIFE Childcare alternatives gain popularity Au pair programs offer opportunity for cultural exchange BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
F
ederica Foltmann snuck around her living room couch on a recent afternoon in her Castle Pines home. Hiding around the corner was the 6-year-old girl she nannies. When Foltmann caught up, the shy but curious girl buried her face into Foltmann’s stomach and gave her a tight hug. Foltmann hugged her back, talking to her in Italian-accented English. It’s all in a day’s work for the 20-yearold Brescia, Italy native, and all part of the experience in coming to the United States to work as an au pair. Au pairs are a type of in-home childcare provider. The option is one some Denver metro families are choosing over more traditional methods like day cares, relying on relatives to babysit or nannies. Au pairs differ from nannies in that they are typically young adults who have come to the U.S. to care for children as part of a cultural exchange experience. Numerous agencies place au pairs in the city and suburbs. The logistics of each program vary. In general, however, au pairs live with the family and work up to 45 hours a week. The host family provides food, a private bedroom and sometimes amenities like cars or cell phones. Foltmann and her host family worked through the agency Cultural Care Au Pair, a nationwide au pair agency run by host parents and former au pairs. Jennifer Morrow, the Cultural Care Au Pair representative for Castle Rock and Castle Pines, said au pair programs can be an educational and economical alternative. Annual costs include registration, processing and program fees and a stipend paid directly to au pairs, totaling nearly $19,000. Nick and Laurie Lazarou, another family using the Cultural Care Au Pair program, have employed au pairs for seven years. Both work demanding jobs and Nick travels often. Having a livein au pair provides them with stable childcare, they said. It also makes time management easier. “We didn’t need to structure our ability to do things based on the availability of other people,” Nick said. The couple and their two children moved from Los Angeles to Castle Pines in the past year. Here, they don’t have relatives to help out, which makes the au pair program all the more useful, they said. When Morrow took over the region in

COLORADO’S COST OF CHILDCARE Locally: Child Care Innovations at Red Rock Community College published data that found the cost of childcare in Douglas County in particular is high.
Statewide: Child Care Aware of America found that for 2016, the cost of center-based childcare for infants in Colorado was $14,950. For fouryear-olds, it was $11,089.
• Compared to Adams, Arapahoe, Denver and Jefferson counties, Douglas County had the highest average cost of childcare in both centers and family-based settings for January 2015.
The organization published a study for 2015 comparing the cost of childcare in the U.S. by state. The non-profit focuses on lowering the cost of childcare and furthering education.
• Infant care cost an average of $318 a week in centers. Familybased care cost an average of $206 a week.
The report evaluates factors such as the percent of a family’s income that childcare absorbs and the cost of center-based child-
care. Some of its findings are: • The study placed Colorado in its list of the Top 10 Least Affordable States for Center-based Infant Care in 2014. Colorado ranked No. 5. for center-based childcare for infants. As for center-based care of 4-year-olds, Colorado ranked No. 7 for the least affordable state. • The annual cost of infant centerbased care in Colorado was $13,154. • The annual cost of center-based care for families with an infant
and a 4-year-old was $23,036. • In Colorado, married couples with an infant in a center-based childcare facility can expect those costs to exceed 15 percent of their income. With two children, the cost rises to 26 percent.
• Families living at the poverty line will spend approximately 95 percent of their income on centerbased childcare, and 70 percent on home-based care. • A single parent will pay more than 46 percent of his or her income for infant center-based care.
May, five families were working with au pairs. Now, there are 12. How the program works Au pairs and families in Cultural Care Au Pair are matched through what resembles an online dating service. Once a family, which is personally interviewed by Morrow, is approved for the program, they can browse online profiles of au pairs. Likewise, families create a profile for au pairs to learn about them. When families narrow down their candidate pool, they’ll often Skype with au pairs and conduct interviews. It’s a two-way street, Morrow said. Both families and au pairs must pass background checks and meet program regulations. The mutual selection process aims to make for good matches and ensure au pairs and families will get along. Her agency sources au pairs from approximately 25 different countries. They seek out the program for numerous reasons, Morrow said. Some au pairs are taking a gap year before purSEE CHILDCARE, P13

‘A Christmas Story’ is delight in Littleton
Town Hall Arts Center hosts iconic holiday fare
IF YOU GO
BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
The spotlight at Littleton’s Town Hall Arts Center turns on a grumpy-looking Santa ringing a bell as Hohman, Indiana townsfolk mostly pass by ignoring him. The opening announcement is made by kids and the audience is filled with a happy shorter set, who get to enjoy a delightful version of “A Christmas Story,” based on author/radio and TV personality Jean Shepherd’s memories of his Midwestern childhood. His well-known book “In God We Trust: All Others Pay Cash” and other writings were made into the beloved 1983 film that is part of our cultural fabric. Actor Scott McLean is a warm, loving narrator, Jean Shepherd, who recalls his early days. Town Hall Arts Center presents a musical version, with book by Joseph Robinette, music and lyrics by Benj Pasek and Justin Paul. Seasoned
7:30 p.m. Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays and 2 p.m. on Nov. 26; Sundays at 2 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. on 11/27, 12/4, 12/11, as well as 7:30 p.m. Wednesdays
“A Christmas Story, The Musical” plays through Dec. 30 at Town Hall Arts Center, 2450 W. Main St., Downtown Littleton. Performances:
director Nick Sugar gives the production his special tongue-in-cheek aura which makes for a happy experience for all involved. Kelly Kates added her choreographic skills to Sugar’s, delivering a polished, well-rehearsed group of tapping kids. There is even a skillfully tapping bully, Scut Farkus, played by Joshua Cellar a musical theater student at Valor Conservatory for the Arts. Kaden Hinkle, who plays Ralphie, Shepherd’s younger self, is an experienced young professional actor who performed this role in a national tour and was seen in Denver as Young Tarzan and in numerous other roles. Readers will know the story of the Indiana kid who was obsessed with owning an Official Red Ryder Carbine Action 200shot Range Model air rifle — and his

imaginative ideas for achieving that goal, despite being told by most adults that he’d “shoot his eye out.” He hears it from Mom, Dad, his teacher, Miss Shields and even from Santa. The play consists of several segments: at home and school and in front of the department store where the desired item is displayed. It’s dated, but fun to watch as “the old man,” Ralphie’s dad, played by Keegan Flaugh, enters a national crossword puzzle contest and wins a “Major National Award.” The large crate is delivered, revealing that leg lamp, which has become such a national symbol. One young woman we met has it tattooed on her shoulder. (A bonding thing with her dad, who also has one, she told us!)
And I have a neighbor who displays one each holiday season in a front window. The whole production is keyed to that cozy sense of sharing a treasured community joke and it works beautifully. Another storyline involves the hounds at the next door neighbors (Bumpuses), who howl and bark every time the Old Man comes home. A lovely chocolate Lab named Bosco Fairbairn (his girl Sydney also performs) pursues dad across the stage at one point and eventually does in the Christmas turkey. He deserves all the treats he can get! Little brother Randy (Lorenzo Giovanetti) is a funny, food-fussy sidekick and Mary McGroary shines as Miss Shields. My favorite scene was the “Ralphie to the Rescue” bit where he imagines all the good deeds he’ll be able to accomplish — if he only has that gun … White furry chaps are a definite plus. This is a perfect family show-ideal holiday fare, although there were a number of smiling senior types there as well when we attended. What’s not to love?

suing higher education. Others hope to improve their English or simply want to travel. For families, Morrow said, it provides dependable childcare. On both ends, she said -there’s opportunity to learn about other cultures and form lifelong friendships. The programs are not without controversy. Cultural Care Au Pair families must pay their au pairs a stipend of $195.75 a week. Divide that by the 45 hours au pairs work, and you get a wage of $4.35 an hour.

‘The perfect family’ Foltmann was happy with
her experience and has chosen to extend her one-year stay by another six months. “I actually found the perfect family,” she said. Her main duties are getting both the children she watches up in the mornings. She makes breakfast, gets them dressed and takes
them to school. She picks up the youngest at about noon and watches him the rest of the day. Normally, she said, parents pick up the oldest from school. They all enjoy dinner together. Foltmann can use the car, has the basement to herself and can have friends over to stay the night. She’s also vacationed with the family to places like Chicago, Hawaii and Florida. And, she said, she’s made a lifetime connection with her host family. “When you are in the other part of the world and you know that here there is someone that you love and they love you — that’s amazing,” she said.

Tennis champ credits maturity Hillis takes honors after winning 5A state crown
Local athletes excel at next level
A
BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Ethan Hillis played with maturity and confidence this season, and Cherry Creek’s No. 1 singles player posted a 15-0 record with all straight set victories. He also was crowned the Class 5A state champion at No. 1 singles and helped Cherry SOUTH METRO Creek win the team title for the ATHLETE sixth consecutive OF THE YEAR: year and 42nd BOYS TENNIS time in 45 years. Hillis, a senior who will play tennis and attend Amherst College next fall, has been named the 2016 Colorado Community Media Boys Tennis Player of the Year. “I thought the season went really well,” said Hillis. “I was playing confidently. I had a lot of confidence in myself that I would be able to do well all year and take state. I was playing consistently throughout the whole year.” Hillis didn’t play high school tennis in 2015 and believes the year off helped him grow up after a disappointing finish to his sophomore campaign with the Bruins. He won the No. 3 singles state championship as a freshman and was the runner-up at No. 1 singles during his sophomore year but the state finals ended after a point penalty was dealt to an emotional Hillis. “I was still playing last year, I just didn’t play high school tennis just for the time and academic stakes,” explained Hillis. “I felt my mental game was much improved this sea-

Cherry Creek’s Ethan Hillis is the Colorado Community Media Boys Tennis Player of the Year. TOM MUNDS son versus sophomore, junior and freshman year. “I was mentally stronger. It did take a lot of work but I think a lot of it was just maturing and just getting older. Obviously changing anything is difficult, especially personality and just mentally more so than anything else. A lot of it was maturity.” Hillis didn’t lose a set in the state tournament and took only 40 minutes to down Overland’s Dawid Kijak, 6-0, 6-1, in the Oct. 15 finals at the Gates Tennis Center. He felt the hardest matches this season were against his friend
Casey Ross of Kent Denver, the No. 1 player in the United States Tennis Association’s Intermountain Boys 18 singles rankings. Hillis downed Ross, 6-4, 6-3, on Sept. 17 and followed Sept. 21 with a 6-2, 6-3 victory. “The toughest matches of the year were against Casey Ross,” said Hillis. “He’s ranked No. 1 in the USTA and I’m ranked two. He gave me the toughest matches but I beat him both times I played him this season. I’ve always played well against him. He brings out the best in me. I just elevated my game.”
KEEPING SCORE WITH... DAVID OPHEIM What is your favorite movie? “Miracle.” Because it is such an inspirational movie that focused on one of the greatest moments in sports history for the United States. The movie transcends athletics and illustrates a victorious outcome that was accomplished through struggle and unbelievable odds. What is your favorite pre-competition meal? Gogurt. Because I am always watching my weight and I can eat a lot of gogurt and get different flavors. Plus, it’s good soft or frozen.
Opheim
Who is your favorite professional or collegiate athlete? Dan Gable. Because he was the greatest wrestler and coach ever. Hardcore and humble.
Why do you participate in sports? Because I can create my own destiny. I will get out what I put in. I am in total control of the outcome. Do you have any pre-competition superstitions or rituals? Yes, I pace. I pace and pace and pace. I don’t know why I pace, I just pace. What are your plans for after high school graduation? I will be attending Northern State University in Aberdeen, South Dakota, to wrestle and pursue a degree in elementary education. I want to be a teacher and coach because nearly all of the influential people in my life outside of my family have been my teachers and coaches. I want to have a positive impact on kids and make a difference in their lives. Plus, I want to have summers off so I can fish!
KEEPING SCORE WITH... is a Q&A with high school athletes in the south metro area. Email sports writer Jim Benton at jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com if you or some you know would llike to participate.
lumni reports are always difficult because you don’t want to overlook somebody who should have been mentioned. But here goes an attempt to highlight OVERTIME some former area high school players who are doing well in collegiate athletics. • Wyoming’s football team has numerous Colorado players on its roster, including sophomore free safety Andrew Jim Benton Wingard from Ralston Valley. Wingard leads the Mountain West Conference with 9.9 tackles a game and is 12th nationally. He is the NCAA’s leader in career tackles per game at 10.05 and career solo tackles per game at 6.36. Connor Cain, a sophomore from Heritage, has started nine of 10 games at defensive tackle and Drew Van Maanen, a junior from Chaparral, is listed as the starting fullback when the Cowboys have one in their offensive formation to start a game. • Senior offensive guard Alex Kozan, a Valor Christian graduate, has started 37 games at Auburn. • Olabisi Johnson, a sophomore from Bear Creek, is Colorado State University’s second leading receiver this season with 20 catches for 340 yards and two touchdowns. Sophomore Wyatt Bryan from Douglas County is the Rams’ placekicker and senior Paul Thurston, an Arvada West graduate who transferred from Nebraska, is the starting left guard. Jakob Buys, a junior from Ralston Valley, is a starting defensive tackle for CSU. Junior Jake Bennett from Bear Creek is the Rams’ standout center. • The University of Colorado also has several players from area high schools who have seen game action, with senior Auburn transfer Shane Callahan of Chaparral, who played in 13 games in 2015, starting on the offensive line for the first time Nov. 12 against Arizona. • Valor graduate Christian McCaffrey, the 2015 Heisman Trophy runnerup, remains the all-purpose player to watch this season at Stanford. And former Valor quarterback Luke Del Rio, a redshirt sophomore, sprained his knee, but the Gators starting quarterback expects to play Nov. 19 against LSU. • According to an October story, MaxPreps listed the Colorado high schools with the most players on 2016 college football rosters at the D-I, D-II, D-III and NAIA levels. Valor topped the inventory with 31 players followed by Cherry Creek with 30, Grandview with 24, Columbine with 18 and Pine Creek with 17. Ralston Valley and Cherokee Trail had 16 each.

Athlete is energized by competition BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
SOUTH METRO ATHLETE OF THE YEAR: BOYS SOCCER
Parker Klein was a marked soccer player this season but the Ponderosa senior still succeeded. After leading the Continental League in scoring as a junior with 20 goals and 49 points, he once again was the top scorer in the league during the 2016 season with 17 goals
and nine assists, despite heavy defensive pressure from opposing defenders. “I dealt with that a little bit last year and a lot this year, but I loved being marked because it brings out the best of my play, just knowing there is a guy always following me and waiting for me to do something,” said Klein. For the second straight season,
CROSSING: Merchants request quick finish to planned mid-block crossing FROM PAGE 1
in the middle of Broadway. No date has been set for the light installations. Construction of the Acoma development eliminated the large parking lot formerly owned by the city that was located behind the businesses on the west side of the 3400 block of South Broadway. Paul Webster, owner of the Brew on Broadway, and other merchants have said the loss of parking is having a major negative impact on their businesses. Troy Gladwell, speaking for Medici Communities that is developing the project, said at a Sept. 23 meeting with business
owners the company wants to be a good neighbor and make as much parking available as possible, and the city agreed to also work to provide more parking for customers of the merchants impacted by the construction. Merchants requested a planned mid-block crossing be done immediately. The crossing would give potential customers access to the free parking in the large lot behind the businesses on the east side of the 3400 block of South Broadway. Englewood hired a contractor to begin construction of the mid-block crossing that now is on hold awaiting action by Xcel Energy.
Klein has been named the Colorado Community Media South Metro Boys Soccer Player of the Year. Ponderosa coach Jim Engels maintains Klein is the best player he has coached in 17 seasons. “I took on a much bigger leadership role this year,” explained Klein. “Losing a few guys that were the leaders last year really gave me a chance to step in and lead by
example. “The season went really good. I felt good again this year. I had a good year last year and I was really excited to build upon that and improve myself as a player and leader.” Klein, who is still undecided about a college choice, declined an offer to play U.S. Soccer Development Academy soccer this fall.
BENTON: High school sports committee chooses to put emphasis on team’s winning percentage FROM PAGE 21
• And looking ahead to basketball, keep an eye on CU senior Derrick White, a Legend graduate who transferred from CU-Colorado Springs. At the University of Denver, junior Jake Pemberton from Mountain Vista and sophomore Thomas Neff from Arvada West could be a couple of the area players that could have an impact. Ciera Morgan, a junior from Highlands Ranch, will be one of the leaders for the Pioneers’ women’s team. More recommendations All the Colorado High
local
School Activities Association’s sports committees are coming up with recommendations about such things as exploring changes to postseason formats and ugh, possibly adding another class, which would be awful. Last spring, baseball was the first to use the Ratings Percentage Index for postseason berths, but the committee recommended a welcomed change in the formula to put more emphasis on a team’s winning percentage. Regional tournament recommendations in Class 5A include having only two teams from the same league host tournaments.

that enrich lives
No changes were made to the pitch-count rule in baseball, but hopefully CHSAA will come up with a way to avoid the couple conflicts that occurred last season. Having small pitchcount scoreboards like the one used by Douglas County High School sure seems like a way to avoid disagreements in games before the final out.

Without public notices, the government wouldn’t have to say anything else.
Public notices are a community’s window into the government. From zoning regulations to local budgets, governments have used local newspapers to inform citizens of its actions as an essential part of your right to know. You know where to look, when to look and what to look for to be involved as a citizen. Local newspapers provide you with the information you need to get involved.
Notices are meant to be noticed. Read your public notices and get involved!

Without public notices, the government wouldn’t have to say anything else. Public notices are a community’s window into the government. From zoning regulations to local budgets, governments have used local newspapers to inform citizens of its actions as an essential part of your right to know. You know where to look, when to look and what to look for to be involved as a citizen. Local newspapers provide you with the information you need to get involved.
Such proposed budgets and amended budgets will be considered at a public hearing during a joint meeting of the Districts to be held at 1400 16th Street, Suite 320, Denver, Colorado, on Tuesday, December 6, 2016 at 2:30 P.M.
