Booming attendance tied to activities, entertainment, cost By Mike DiFerdinando

mdiferdinando@colorado communitymedia.com Over the past four years, more and more people have poured into the Douglas County Fair and Rodeo — so many that it has become Colorado’s fastest-growing county fair, local officials say. The four-day event running from Aug. 6-9 at the Douglas County Fairgrounds in Castle Rock has seen a 54 percent increase in attendance over

the past four years. More than 29,000 people came to the fair in 2014. “The reason it’s grown is because we have a lot of new activities and entertainment for people, and it’s an affordable event,” said Gary Debus, chairman of the marketing committee for the Douglas County Fair and Rodeo. Nearly 16,000 tickets were sold in 2014, an increase of about 3,000 from the previous year. Revenue from those sales was nearly $115,000. Debus said one of the biggest draws has been free admission on Sundays, which is sponsored by Castle Rock Bank. Fair continues on Page 9

Solutions sought for parking at Northridge Events draw crowds that force overflow parking at church By Taryn Walker

twalker@colorado communitymedia.com

A study shows parking at Northridge Recreation Center has become an issue, especially on big weekends throughout the summer, according to a presentation by Carrie Ward, the director of parks, recreation and open space for the Highlands Ranch Metro District. The Metro District and the Highlands Ranch Community Association have been working to find a solution. From the data provided, about five to seven times a year, predominantly during the summer, swim meets and other events tend to draw large crowds that cause overflow parking at St. Luke’s United Methodist Church. “St. Luke’s have been incredibly good neighbors to us,” Ward said. Between the recreation center and park, there are only 352 spaces, and 60 additional spaces are needed, said Carolyn Peters, HRMD’s recreation and parks services manager. But parking spots are pricey, Ward said. “We won’t be adding additional parking, because the price tag is high,” Ward said. However, the Metro District is putting together an extensive parking lot management plan in conjunction with HRCA. The plan will include heavy staffing to direct traffic, signage on Broadway, coordination of events and a drop-off area built near the ball fields. Ward said the district will fund the drop-off spot, but she hasn’t received an estimate yet and knows it could be expensive. At the HRMD board meeting on July 28, members talked about the issue and several were in favor of having a drop-off spot built near the entrance of the recreation center. However, HRCA didn’t approve of the drop-off spot design, Ward said during her presentation. Parking continues on Page 31

Chorale for local seniors starts in September Highlands Ranch group welcomes all from area By Taryn Walker

twalker@colorado communitymedia.com The Highlands Ranch Community Association is calling all soprano, alto, tenor and bass vocalists 55 and “better” to join the Highlands Ranch Encore Chorale. The non-audition choir will kick off Sept. 4 for a 15-week session and end with a free holiday concert, open to the public, on Dec. 6. Those interested in joining will pay a one-time fee of $95 to be a charter member, which includes weekly group voice lessons, learning music and tools to help improve breath control and voice range, chorale director Brian Letherman said. Lessons for a maximum of 75 members will be held at Southridge Recreation Center, 4800 McArthur Ranch Road, every Fri-

day from 10:30 a.m. to noon in preparation for the holiday concert, where members will sing holiday favorites and popular music from the 1950s and 1960s. The chorale is a national affiliate of Encore Creativity for Older Adults, a nonprofit corporation dedicated to providing an accessible artistic environment for older adults who seek arts education and performance opportunities under the direction of professional artists, according to a press release. Encore Creativity is based in Maryland and has more than 750 singers throughout the United States. Under the artistic direction of Leatherman and executive director and accompanist Cindy Runkel, the bar is set high, HRCA spokeswoman Jamie Noebel said. “It’s a pretty neat program. We’re really, really lucky to get directors of this caliber. This isn’t just a regional, little choir that gets together to sing — these directors are really Chorale continues on Page 9

FACES AMONG US

NEWS IN A HURRY County seeks public opinion on transit

Douglas County is looking for input from residents about public transit. A survey which features 25 short-answer and multiplechoice questions that takes approximately 10 minutes to complete is open to the public until Aug. 16. It’s an chance for citizens and taxpayers to help shape the future of public transit in Douglas County through the simple sharing of thoughts and experiences, according to a press release. The survey is through the Colorado-based Fox Tuttle Hernandez Transportation Group and addresses how often the participant uses public transit - when, where and for what type of trips transit services are used.It also asks whether people that don’t use transit would utilize services if they were convenient and more readily available. As a part of the Douglas County Transit Demand Study, results will be used to guide future transit planning and potential transit investments. Visit douglas.co.us/transitsurvey to take the survey.

HELLO

... My Name Is

A glimpse of the people in our community

NADIA BARLOW

San Antonio transplant, dog lover New in town I’m 27 and I just moved here from San Antonio. I really like it so far. I moved here for a job. I’m working at Legacy (apartments) as a leasing consultant. So far, what I like is going out in the mountains and getting lost for two hours, it wasn’t like that back at home. I’ve explored Colorado a little bit. I’ve been to Garden of the Gods, Yoga on the Rocks (Red Rocks) and Rocky Mountain National Park.

Fun times I take aerial classes where we use fabrics and trapeze techniques. It’s good for strength training. I once took a Miraas Circus Art class for beginners. It was totally not for beginners — it was so hard. It’s all really cool though, we

use lyra, which is a really strong fabric to swing from. It’s a fun way to exercise and meet people.

Must love dogs Today, I’m catching up on some magazines. I’m also donating some to the library. I’m real big on dog magazines, I’m reading Dogster now. I have a mutt (mix). I found him at a gas station in Texas and rescued him about five years ago. This morning we got chased by three coyotes at Foothills Park near the football fields. I thought to myself, “Oh, God here’s another dog that’s unleashed” and then I saw another one and realized they were coyotes. I just yelled “no!” They ran off and I then realized I’m definitely out here in nature. It’s nothing like Texas.

Friendly faces It’s not like moving to an East Coast city, where everyone kind of keeps to themselves. At least here, people are friendly. I walk through Brownstone (townhomes) in the city center and everybody says, “hi” or waves. I have noticed how expensive it is here. It seems like everyone is selling their home. No matter what, when other cities might not be OK, Denver always seems to be doing well. Everyone here has been so nice. I’ve already made a lot of friends — part of it is everything is so close here in Highlands Ranch and there are a lot of families around all the time. By Taryn Walker.

In the show, Roger Campbell and Benny Goodman will be featured on clarinet. Rick Weingarten and Lionel Hampton with perform their rare sound of vibes by virtuoso.

Light-rail extension contract awarded Project in Lone Tree now waiting on federal funding By Mike DiFerdinando

mdiferdinando@colorado communitymedia.com A contractor has been selected to build the Southeast Light Rail Extension in Douglas County. The Regional Transportation District board approved a $140 million contract for Balfour Beatty Infrastructure Inc. to design and build the rail extension. Design will begin this fall with construction expected to start in the spring of 2016. The construction phase is dependent on the awarding of a full-funding grant agreement from the Federal Transit Administration. Balfour Beatty has committed to completing construction of the line by early 2019. The extension will build an additional 2.3 miles of light rail on the existing Southeast Line south of Lincoln Avenue. The extension will run along the west side of Interstate 25 from Lincoln Station and then cross over the highway and run along the east side of the highway to the south side of RidgeGate Parkway in Douglas County. “This extension will make it possible for RTD to connect people in a rapidly growing part of the metro area to the rest of the region, including Denver International Airport,” Dave Genova, RTD’s interim general manager, said in a news release. Once the project is completed, people will be able to travel on one train from the RidgeGate station via the I-225 Rail Line through Aurora to Peoria Station and connect

to the commuter train to Denver International Airport — or stay on one train and travel to Union Station in downtown Denver. The project will include an end-of-line station at RidgeGate Parkway and 1,300 parking spaces. In addition, two more stations will be added as walk-up or neighborhood stations. One will be adjacent to Sky Ridge Medical Center, near I-25 and RidgeGate Parkway. The other will be in the planned Lone Tree City Center east of I-25 and south of Lincoln Avenue. “There’s no question (the rail extension) will be a regional asset and a business hub for the area,” Douglas County Commissioner Roger Partridge said. “Easing congestion along the I-25 corridor is another major way the light-rail extension will serve the county.” The projected budget for the entire project is $233 million. The total includes $34 million that was spent through the end of 2014 on environmental analysis, preliminary engineering and design and the acquisition of eight light-rail vehicles for the project. The remaining $199 million will be financed through a combination of federal, private and local funds. Half of the project will be funded by the FTA’s New Starts program, which supplies major capital grants to metropolitan areas; plus a local match of 14 percent from private businesses and local governments in the southeast metro area and 36 percent from RTD through local funding sources. The project has already been accepted into FTA’s New Start’s engineering phase and is included in President Obama’s fiscal year 2016 budget.

Windows 10 launch becomes festive event One Republic gives concert in lot outside Park Meadows By Mike DiFerdinando

mdiferdinando@colorado communitymedia.com The July 29 launch of the new Windows 10 operating system took on some star glitter when the Microsoft Store at Park Meadows mall in Lone Tree gave out 1,500 free passes to a OneRepublic concert in the mall parking lot. In addition to the July 31 concert by the popular band, the store hosted numerous demonstrations of the product and gave away free food and prizes. “We’re just trying to get everyone to upgrade their world,” said Jessica Oleis, Microsoft community development specialist, referencing the product’s slogan. The Lone Tree store wasn’t the only one to host a star-studded event. The Santa Clara, California, store hosted NBA Finals MVP and Golden State Warriors forward Andre Iguodala, and at the Seattle store Doug Baldwin of the Seattle Seahawks made an appearance. Windows 10 brings back some familiar functions from previous versions of the platform, such as the start button in the bottom left-hand corner of the screen and being able to switch back and forth between multiple desktops. The biggest new feature is the introduction of Cortana, Microsoft’s voice-activated personal assistant. Cortana can search your computer or the Web with voice commands and will follow you from your desktop or tablet to Windows Phone. “It allows you to interact on a more personal and natural level,” said Windows technician Colton Baines. “You can control her all through voice. Cortana is probably one of the first and best examples of the universal nature of being able to move from device to device.” For example, one could set a reminder through Cortana on a desktop computer in the morning. Then, later in the day when it is time for the task, Cortana will send an alert via phone. The Microsoft Store will hold special classes and workshops in the coming weeks to teach people about the new operating system and its features. People who own the previous two versions of Windows can come into the store and get help upgrading to Windows 10 for free. You can also bring in your Windows tablet or PC to a Microsoft Store for a free “upgrade assessment,” which will let you know whether your device is ready to upgrade to Windows 10.

that they didn’t think they could do,” said Cheryl Clossen, who is with The Right Step, a therapeutic riding program that operates out of the rustic Coventry Farms, tucked into a secluded valley southeast of Mineral Avenue and Santa Fe Drive. And that’s the point, said Burke. CCB’s focus is on teaching its students to be independent, and to completely live in the world in any capacity they want. “I like it there a lot,” said Marie Frackiewicz, who volunteers at a horse ranch in her hometown of Surprise, Arizona, but had never been to CCB before this summer. “It taught me a lot of skills, and I made a lot of friends who are probably going to be my friends for a while.” She said it was great to be around kids her age who are experiencing the same things as she is, like finding her tribe in a world that doesn’t always understand her. “We believe in our students,” said Burke. “It isn’t that people are out there to do mean things to blind kids or adults, it’s just that they don’t believe in you. So you have to take that belief home with you.” Like those new friendships, Clossen said bonds also form between the horses and the clients. Because horses have individual per-

sonalities — kind of like giant kittens — emotional attachments can be formed. Many of the program’s horses have lived longer than most, she said, because in addition to lots of social interaction and exercise, they get babied by the clients. Proving Clossen right, Bronwen Tedesco took a real shine to her horse, Louie. But horseback riding isn’t the only thing she’s enjoyed during her summer at CCB. “It was really rewarding,” said Tedesco, who’s been blind since birth. “It was great to have a job experience, as well. But I also liked whitewater rafting, and mountain climbing was awesome. I’d been climbing before, but never outdoors. It requires a lot more strength and effort, but it was really nice to hear the river running below.” Her classmate and co-worker Ariel Gallegos grew up with horses on the countryside in Chihuahua, Mexico, but he said The Right Stuff taught him things even he didn’t know, like how to tell when a horse is shy or doesn’t like something. “Ariel, if you will relax, he will relax,” Clossen told him gently as he rode Apache out of the arena for a trail ride. “There you go — that’s better.”

Library system honors volunteers

Awards go to 101 people who donated time at branches Staff report Douglas County Libraries recently honored 101 volunteers with the President’s Volunteer Service Awards. These national awards were organized under the George W. Bush administration by the President’s Council on Service and Civic Participation. The awards honor those who, by their commitment, inspire others to engage in volunteerism. The library system tracked volunteer hours during calendar year 2014 to determine award winners. Volunteers could earn bronze, silver, or gold recognition based on their service hours. The 101 qualifying volunteers received a certificate, a letter signed

by President Obama, and a colored lapel pin indicative of their award level. The two gold winners were: • Alison Lohr — The teenager has volunteered at the Philip S. Miller branch since she was 11 years old. • Nikki Vivek — The Legend High School student volunteered more than 900 hours last year to four organizations, one of which was the library in Parker. The combined hours of the DCL board of trustees qualified for a group silver award at 566 hours. Volunteer activities at the library’s seven branches include shelving materials, reading stories to children at daycare facilities, tutoring students in English as a second language, telling stories to children at schools, assisting with library events, posting book reviews, polishing discs and coordinating the stores offering used books.

VOICES

LOCAL

In reality, customer isn’t always right We have all seen it or witnessed it before, a customer who is antagonistic, rude and obnoxious, treating the employee or manager or business owner so poorly that they end up belittling the person and making everyone around them uncomfortable. They behave this way because they believe that such aggressiveness coupled with a raised voice and an attitude of anger will get them better service. Stop and think about that for one minute. I am sure you also see the irony and ridiculousness of such a thought process. Yet some people just can’t help themselves, missing the whole concept of catching more flies with honey than you do with vinegar. Regardless of the business we are in and the role we play, our number one goal should be creating customer loyalty and building a network of raving fans that will allow us to generate the income that we need in order to provide the best service possible. And I would say that as a consumer in the community I am almost always pretty impressed with the level of service, attitude and knowledge of the folks who are there to help me. Let me ask you a question, have you ever found yourself in a position where you had to fire a customer? Yes, you read that right, have you ever had to fire a customer? Have you ever been fired as a customer? I can share with you that I have ended relation-

ships with several customers over the years. It was always a little uncomfortable but I had no regrets when it was finally done. You see, the customer may always be the customer, but the customer is not always right, and the customer does not have the right to treat Michael Norton you or your employees WINNING rudely. Now don’t get me WORDS wrong, it is always a last resort to take such a drastic action. There are discussions and compromises offered, some sharing of information and even some negotiation. But when the aggressive behavior and angry attitude are consistent and the requests are outrageous and unreasonable, it is time to suggest to the customer that they should seek your particular products and services elsewhere. Again the customer is always the customer, but not every customer is a good or profitable customer. Setting mutual expectations up front is the key in helping to avoid such uncomfortable and awkward situations. Providing ourselves and our employees with safe boundaries when such customers show up in our

business will reduce stress and preserve our employees’ dignity while leading to a reduction in staffing turnover. Stop and think about any recent interactions where you were the one involved in a conflict with a business or where you witnessed a terrible incident. How did you feel? How do you think the other people around you felt? The words that come to mind are embarrassed, uncomfortable, disappointed, and maybe even sympathetic for both the consumer and the employee. So, how about you? Are you a good customer? Do you understand that not everything is perfect every time and that if you maintain a positive attitude, open mind, and participate constructively with the businesses where you love to shop, eat, drink and play, in finding a mutually rewarding win-win solution, that you will never find yourself being “fired” as a customer? I would really love to hear your thoughts about the importance of being a good customer at gotnorton@gmail.com, and when we realize that being a good customer is being a good citizen, it really will be a better than good week. Michael Norton is a resident of Castle Rock, the former president of the Zig Ziglar Corporation, a strategic consultant and a business and personal coach.

Time is ripe for yet another banana blight The banana’s appeal is not slipping. But the future of bananas is in doubt, and it’s not because they have a shelf life from here to the cash register. A CNN report said, “Fifty years ago we were eating better bananas.” The article went on to say that in 1965 things changed because of a fungal disease. “It started in Central America and quickly spread to most of the world’s commercial banana plantations, leaving no other choice but to burn them down.” I didn’t know anything about it. That was the year I graduated from high school, left home and started college. I was not focusing on bananas. I like bananas. I like the packaging. I can get into a banana without any problems. Have you ever tried to open a pomegranate? A pineapple? A prickly pear? The only problem — I thought — with bananas was their shelf life, which is hours — it seems — not days. Bananas are shipped green, turn yellow in the store, and brown in your back seat. I am (almost) exaggerating. You can slow the ripening process by putting them in the refrigerator. I’ll bet you didn’t know this: If you place bananas near other fruit, the other fruit will ripen faster. In 1965, the banana industry was reeling because of the fungus.

So a new fungus-resistant species was introduced that is hardier. It just doesn’t taste as good. Of course, if you were born after 1965, you don’t know the difference. And neither do I. Craig Marshall Smith My banana palette QUIET was not very well DESPERATION developed until much later, when I heard about their benefits. Although I still don’t know why I need potassium. Around 1990, a new disease that started in Malaysia began to affect bananas. The disease took a boat to Australia. It made it to Africa in 2013. If the new 1965 species is done for, we’re probably looking at a banana that won’t taste as good, but can survive. Look at tomatoes. Outside of a farmers’ market and heirlooms, they are flavorless. They look like tomatoes. But they don’t taste like tomatoes. I handle tomatoes at the store, and they all feel like a three ball.

I am in favor of canned tomatoes now. But not canning tomatoes. My grandmother used to do that. She started on a Monday and by Saturday she was all set. You’re supposed to eat canned tomatoes within a year, but there are stories about canned tomatoes that were consumed after more than a year. More than two years. All I know is that we had a picnic in my grandmother’s back yard, and I had a picnic in the bathroom that night. I try to stay away from home-canned fruits and vegetables now. Not very adventuresome of me, I know. There is hope for the banana and the banana industry. I will keep my eyes peeled. He said. Because I am a family of one, I never buy more than two or three bananas at one time. Bananas are sold in bunches, but you can take exactly what you need, which leaves a lot of lonely bananas on the shelf. Those are the ones I go for. Unless they are browning. Don’t send me a recipe for banana bread. I had my fill in the 1970s. Bananas are just a little depressing. Life is short, but it shouldn’t be that short. Go eat a banana.

Community colleges are perfect for seniors As the population of our communities ages, questions remain about key issues that older adults face in order to live happily and age well. Since the 1960s, the annual White House Conference on Aging has met to identify and advance actions to improve the quality of life of older Americans. This past year, a series of regional forums and listening sessions encouraged leaders and older Americans to determine key aging issues. Four areas emerged: • Healthy aging • Long-term services and support • Elder justice • Retirement security Community colleges around the country are responding. According to the American Association of Community Colleges, adults over 50 make up a growing population interested in returning to school. “Tailored to local demand, community colleges are in a unique position to serve plus-50 learners because of proximity, flexible hours and diverse programming, and this population is emerging as a viable and growing source of new community college students,” the association writes.

In response to questions raised in the Healthy Aging Policy Brief, the AACC shared a response to two key questions about actions that older adults could take to enjoy a long, productive and healthy quality of life. “Community colKim Larsonleges offer many opCooney portunities for older adults to stay engaged LIVING AND and connected to communities. AGING WELL their Learning new skills and information boosts confidence and stimulates the brain as it ages,” the AACC writes. “Taking a course or pursuing a new certificate or degree keeps minds active and involved, while giving older adults a sense of purpose. “ Many older adults are staying in the workplace longer or seeking to make a career switch to a profession that is meaningful

and rewarding. Many start a business. This re-invention of self can spark innovation and creativity while building self-confidence. Many community colleges are creating special programs for workers over 50 who want to either complete degrees or certificates they began years ago or start new ones. Beyond the classroom, community colleges engage and serve older adults through other programs and services including: volunteer opportunities, participation in career and technical program advisory committees, attendance at local college events, access to college library facilities, and membership in college wellness and fitness centers. Additionally, an intergenerational haven is found on a community college campus, and many older adults enjoy the interaction with younger students. Older students serve as role models, mentors, and tutors. Community colleges are determining ways to measure experience to provide college credit for life skills. Student orientations, advisors and classes have been established to help potential older students navigate the college Aging continues on Page 9

College opens doors to self and wider world

Continued from Page 1

Hamlet’s inconsistent character used to irk me until I saw David Davalos’ play “Wittenberg” at the Colorado Shakespeare Festival in Boulder. I realize that, as a secondyear college student, I can relate to the young prince’s internal struggles. The dramedy is a salute to higher education, as it follows Hamlet’s fictitious senior year at the University of Wittenberg, where he encounters two of the most reformative and revolutionary figures of the 16th century: Martin Luther and Dr. Faustus. Where else but at a university would one find two such formidable theorists, one advocating radical free thinking and the other faith? The opposing counsels explain some of Hamlet’s ensuing madness in his own tragedy. The play nods to collegiate years as a unique time of ripeness for exploration and a critical period to fall in love with learning. I entered this period last fall at the University of Missouri, Columbia, with an honors humanities course about the early modern-world era. It was the best class I could have taken as a budding freshman. To me, humanities is the study of loving learning and loving people. It can talk about all subjects while adding a stroke of human heart and dashes of beautiful language. This class opened my mind to arts, philosophy, music and literature as an introduction to the broader world college introduces. It also allowed me to begin my journey at a large university with a voice. I sat in a tight circle of desks and discussed literary themes and beliefs with just 10 students of varied experiences. If you are attending a large university or will be, count these intimate settings as a blessing and appreciate the close work you do with peers and a good professor. In a place where few to none know who you really are — or when you are trying to figure that out yourself — your voice can get lost. I arrived at the end of my class schedule some days realizing I had not uttered a word for several hours. Truth be told, I found myself whispering to my own stream of consciousness as I walked. This had to stop, so I began listening to podcasts. (Side note: National Public Radio’s series “Invisibilia” is my obsession and should be yours too.) Shutting up was a good thing, though.

“On Sunday, it used to be that we had no one there,” Debus said. “Saturday and Sunday are our biggest attendance days now.” The event was recently ranked No. 3 in Colorado’s Top 10 Summer Rodeos by Real American Cowboy magazine. The weekend of events includes the 4-H Junior Livestock Sale and buyer appreciation barbecue Aug. 7, beginning at 5:30 p.m.; the fair parade down Wilcox Street in Castle Rock the morning of Aug. 8, starting at 9 a.m.; and nightly Professional Rodeo Cowboy Association events. Rodeo events require separate tickets for each show. One of the fair’s biggest draws is the carnival, which is open each day and includes classic fair rides and food. Eating and cooking contests of different varieties can be found each day, along with kid-friendly activities such as mutton bustin’, a stick-horse rodeo and a draft horse show. The draft horse show will be going on in the indoor arena Aug. 9, beginning at 10 a.m. The event is back this year after missing 2014 due to concerns over a statewide equine virus. During the show, the larger-thanaverage horses perform agility feats as well as workrelated tasks such as pulling logs. “The first year went great, so we expect bigger and better things for our draft horse show,” Debus said. “It’s one of those things that you might not want to sit and watch all day, but since it’s a free event you can go in and watch the horses for a little while.” The Aug. 8 evening rodeo will celebrate the Pro Rodeo Hall of Fame and the class of 2015 inductees. Parking is free at the Douglas County Fairgrounds. “The county fair is a very wholesome event that takes us back to a simpler time, and one that reminds us of Douglas County’s past,” Douglas County Commissioner Roger Partridge said. “But that feeling also exists now, in the present. A large part of the county is still rural and still has those agricultural roots.”

good and bring out the best in everybody,” Noebel said. “As you get older, you go through your cycle of work and get to a point where something you really enjoyed early in your life disappears. We want this to be something where people are able to jump back into a passion they once had. I think they’ll (singers) be in heaven if they join.” Leatherman said that a couple of summers ago, he and Runkel were working with Denver’s largest choir group, the Cherry Creek Chorale, and after taking over for a former professor to direct the program for seniors, he had a “ball” doing it. “I said to Cindy when I retire June of 2014 from my teaching career, we ought to start a daytime choir for senior citizens,” Leatherman said. “She (Cindy) did a lot of research and came across a group in D.C. and read a research paper about the efficacy of singing for older people. The social, physical, emotional and spiritual benefits of singing for the community were astounding.” After teaching music for 30 years, Leatherman retired and he and Runkel brought the idea of a chorale to the HRCA and Noebel was thrilled, he said. The long-term goal is to eventually have a number of similar choirs throughout the

experience. In the metro area there are five easily accessible community colleges. All offer credit as well as leisure learning classes Interestingly online, learning is also popular with older students. One recent student from Arapahoe Community College wrote: “I have so enjoyed the online classes that I’ve taken. The range of subjects has been such fun to peruse. The coursework has been enriching and exciting. At 70, I have appreciated the opportunity to explore new topics, learn new things and stay abreast of what’s happening in our changing world …. I believe that online education is an exciting new avenue for older adults to stay engaged in the world while having a great deal of fun!” Beyond direct services to older adults, many community colleges provide training programs for those interested in working with the older adult population in growing careers including home health workers, nurse aides, and a unique eldercare specialist position for those working

Denver metropolitan area. Now that the Highlands Ranch plan is in place for the south metro area, other good locations like Lakewood, Aurora and somewhere in central Denver would be lovely, Leatherman said. Leatherman said he’d also like to have another Highlands Ranch 15-week session start sometime in January. “Our main goal is to put on a really professionally prepared concert. I’ve been conducting community choirs for 26 years, I know what I’m doing and I’m a singer myself. We would love to have a choir of 75 with five-eighths women and two-eighths men. But, we will work with what we get. We want to help these singers use their voices easily and well and watch them have a good time doing it,” Leatherman said. Speaking of a good time, charter members will have the opportunity to learn singing styles from genres like big band, folk and Broadway. The group will predominantly work on songs for the Christmas program, as Leathermen has already gathered arrangements like “Hallelujah,” “Do You Hear What I Hear” and the Hanukkah piece “Everlasting Light.” Runkel, who is the marketing and development manager of the Cherry Creek Chorale and performs professionally with piano and her voice, said she thinks of music performing groups as team sports. “What musical group that you know of has people sitting on the bench? We all get to participate. It’s a feeling of accomin and transforming the nursing home industry. According to AACC, approximately 90 percent of Americans live within driving distance of a community college. Community colleges offer flexible class scheduling and are very affordable. There’s never been a better time for older Americans to explore their passions, learn new things, update their skills, or fulfill lifelong dreams by going to community colleges. So, what are you doing this fall? Going back to school is a great way to enrich your life!

I never really understood how small my world was in high school until then, and how filled it was with my own chatter. I was absorbed in my youth group, football games, dances, volleyball and the school paper. The only things I really knew about the working world were a short experience as a garden-shop cashier and nannying. I had grown to know and understand this small Anna Sutterer corner very well, so it was a good time to get out. GUEST Leaving home to attend journalCOLUMN ism school in a town I had never heard of — and in a state I frankly had never considered — provided some extra benefits. I was a new kid who knew nobody, and if I was going to find a comfort enough to get down to work in this new town, I needed to sit and listen. I’ve walked through the University of Missouri’s Speakers Circle, where tables set for charity organizations and debates about faith challenged me to consider things larger than myself. I’ve conversed with atheists over coffee, danced at a gay pride prom, worshiped down the aisle in an on-campus chapel and volunteered at a documentary film festival. My mind was never far from controversy or mulling over what new discussions I had come across that day. After you’ve kept quiet long enough to listen carefully to the diversity, the minorities and the masses, you may — and must — open your mouth. Like Hamlet in “Wittenberg,” we are pushed to doubt and question everything. To keep an open mind but then stand up for what we believe. Both Martin Luther and Dr. Faustus, strong in their convictions, emphasized the individual’s choice, either toward God or free thinking or both. For me, as a Christian and journalist, implementing these two attitudes is crucial and enjoyable. My favorite part of journalism is the lifelong effort to learn and gain College continues on Page 10

I love seeing that look on their faces when singing, just as much as I love performing myself,” she said. Runkel said she wants to make sure everyone knows that to be a part of the Highlands Ranch Encore Chorale does not mean you have to be a resident of the community. The chorale welcomes anyone from the

area, she said. If interested in joining, an open house meeting with a video presentation and mini-rehearsal will be held at Southridge at 10:30 a.m. on Aug. 13.

wisdom by meeting people I never would have met otherwise. I listen to their stories, passions and lessons and find a way to communicate the truth to myself and to the public. With all the benefits of opening oneself to a wide variety of people and experiences, still, a close set of people is necessary to survive — and to inspire. My advice is: As soon as possible, find a tight camaraderie with whom you share beliefs and walks of life. They will be your sounding board for all the groanings of growing pains you

will endure. For me, this group was my campus ministry and small group. Freshman year is bizarre. The move, the blank social slate, the large classes and looming future of the real world make a perfectly graceful transition nearly impossible. But I’m looking forward to learning how to be an actual adult human. And I’m encouraged by the incredible opportunities growing up has offered me so far: this byline, traveling, encountering different philosophies, and challenging my faith and convictions to stand true. Anna Sutterer, 19, is preparing to enter her second year of college as a journalism student at the University of Missouri, Columbia. She is a graduate of Arapahoe High School.

The Centennial taste

Coloradans savor a multitude of foods and flavors By Taryn Walker

“Have you ever noticed how Coloradans take on a niche for everything and make it creative?” she said while shopping on a recent Wednesday at the farmers market at Aspen Grove in Littleton. “You’ve got to try some of our Vietnamese and Ethiopian food here in this state.”

When it comes to signature foods, the word on the street is that peaches, green chiles (the pepper and the dish), beef, lamb and bison are among them. Here’s a look at a variety of foods — and a popular beverage — that bring big taste to the Centennial State.

A PLACE FOR PRODUCE

MORE THAN BEEF

Gina Vega of Ray Domenico Farms said Colorado food means greens. The farms are based in Platteville and are certified organic — which is important to residents in the state, she said. Kale and spinach do especially well and so do collard greens and cabbage, she said. “We always sell out of spinach,” Vega said. Beets, pickles and Italian peppers are also something Vega said she sees a lot of people eyeing and buying. Becoming organic wasn’t easy, but beneficial to customers, she said. “The process took about five years to switch over,” Vega said. “My uncle took over the farm and realized organic was the way to go, because there was such a strong need for it. The Colorado Department of Agriculture comes in and tests the fields and water, and there’s guidelines that must be followed, then we’re fully evaluated.” Locally grown food inspires a feeling of community, Littleton resident John Herian said. Herian, a frequent vendor at area farmers markets, said when he thinks of Colo-

The state of Colorado is the fourth largest exporter of fresh and frozen beef in the United States, which makes things a little easier on those who hanker for burgers. Crave Real Burgers has three locations — Castle Rock, Highlands Ranch and Colorado Springs — and the trio of stores has sold more than a million burgers since their opening in 2010, manager Macerena Revis said. “We hand-form our 80/20 (beef/fat) sixounce patties,” she said. “We don’t get anything that’s frozen; we know exactly what’s in it. I think people ask a lot of questions about what they’re eating, because they want to know where it’s coming from. All of our beef is from a Colorado ranch — it’s local.” Revis said Crave’s top-selling burger is “Love Stinks,” which is topped with roasted garlic cream cheese, more garlic, onions, roasted red pepper and red pepper aioli. Also featured is the “Colorado,” which is shredded lamb, poblano peppers, onions, pepper jack cheese, avocado, chipotle mayo and tomato.

The state ranks third in the nation for market sheep and lamb, according to the Colorado Department of Agriculture. Buffalo — or more accurately, bison — might be an odd sight on a menu in many states, but it’s common here. Revis said buffalo burgers are a hot item at her store because Coloradans like leaner meat. Buffalo burgers have less fat and aren’t too different in taste from ground beef, she said — especially topped with condiments like raspberry barbecue sauce.

twalker@coloradocommunitymedia.com What is Colorado cuisine? Parker resident, cookbook author and TasteBook.com columnist Jenny Hartin said after spending 15 years in New York,

two in Phoenix and the last two in Colorado, the truth is “all cuisines are a melting pot of what we love and enjoy, and foods that our families have instilled into memories.” Littleton’s Denise Wynn said Colorado food staples have blossomed into traditions and tastes that come from other countries.

Greens like kale and spinach, especially organic, are hot items for Coloradans, said Gina Vega of Ray Domenico Farms. rado food, peaches — in particular, Palisade peaches — come to mind. Forte Farms, out of Palisade, specializes in peaches — including varieties some outof-staters have never even heard of. One passer-by at the market marveled over the farms’ donut peaches and bought a bundle. Employee George Vulin recommended the white peach, which is a sweet hybrid grown with apricots and plums. Vulin said peaches grow best in the Grand Junction area because of the climate.

A BREW FOR YOU Colorado’s 235 craft breweries as of 2014 were the third most in the nation, according to the Brewers Association, www.brewersassociation.org. Carrie Knose, co-owner and manager of Living the Dream Brewing Co. in Highlands Ranch, agrees that beer rules in this state. “It’s an integral part of our economy,” she said. “It’s kind of been creating its own culture in the past few years. People are becoming more exposed to the different styles of beer and what you can do with the brewing process.” Knose said IPAs are huge in Colorado.

A bite of bison

The “Campfire” from Crave Real Burgers in Highlands Ranch has a bison patty topped with pepper jack cheese, raspberry barbecue sauce and coffee-dusted onion strings.

Shockingly, the lean bison meat was incredibly flavorful and juicy, providing a nice contrast with the sweet sauce. It was like As a Texas transplant, you’d think Thanksgiving dinner in my mouth I wouldn’t bat an eyelash at tasting — you know, that bite that’s a mix bison.

most popular by far, followed by Helluva Caucasian, which is a chocolate peanut butter espresso stout. “Our double IPA is insanely popular too,” Knose said. “It’s been the dominant style of beer over the past 10 years. People love their hops, and ours is very aromatic and hop forward.” Although her establishment doesn’t sell food, it does feature food trucks. In fact, trucks like Churn & Burn, which station themselves around the Denver area, use Living the Dream’s beer to make sauce bases, Knose said.

BRINGING THE FLAVOR Jeannette Martinez of J & J’s Gourmet Salsa said her homemade salsas, pico de gallo and seven-layer dips are hot items for Colorado residents. In fact, several Denver Broncos players are avid buyers of her products, she said. It all started with her grandma’s recipe and a fundraiser, and ever since she’s sold burritos, tamales, enchiladas, tortillas, gorditas and corn chips to enhance the flavorful mix of her salsas. She makes bean and cheese pork green chile burritos by special order, and people can’t get enough, she said. The jalapenos, cilantro and chiles are all Colorado-born, she said. Hartin, who edited the PTO cookbook for Mammoth Heights Elementary in Park-

er, said she had more than 25 green chile enchilada recipes, as well as several green chile soups and other dishes submitted by parents. “Apparently southern Colorado is green chile country,” she said. “The altitude, hot

days and cool nights are prime growing conditions, I’ve read. Whenever any food item is in abundance, of course, it becomes the food of that area — Maryland crab cakes, anyone?”

Going Green

Jenny Hartin’s ‘Green Chile and Mac & Cheese’ recipe Ingredients: • 1 pound of any shaped pasta, cooked for 3 minutes less than the al dente instructions, then rinsed and set aside • 6 tablespoons of butter • 6 tablespoons of flour • Salt, pepper to taste • Half a medium onion, diced

• Four roasted green chiles, stems removed and seeds removed, and chopped finely • 1 tablespoon of stone ground mustard • 4 cups of whole milk • One pound of shredded cheddar (or any combination of cheeses to your liking) Melt the butter in a heavy pot on medium heat and add onions to soften, about two minutes. Add green chiles and com-

“Green Chile and Mac & Cheese” is one of food aficionado Jenny Hartin’s favorite dishes. The Parker resident said she’s famous for her mac, but in this recipe, she adds green chiles to her cheddar cheese and noodles to spice things up — the Colorado way. Courtesy photo by Jenny Hartin bine. Add salt and freshly ground black pepper (about one good teaspoon of each) and flour to mixture and let the flour cook about two to three minutes. While that is working, place four cups of whole milk in a microwave-safe bowl and heat for three minutes. Slowly add warmed milk to the flour mixture and whisk to combine — allow to thicken for roughly five minutes — continually stirring. Add the mustard to the mixture and stir. Once the mixture is slight-

ly thickened, add your shredded cheese (reserving some to top). When the cheese is melted into the sauce, return the pasta to the pot and combine. Place the mac and cheese into a broiler safe vessel, sprinkle with remaining cheese and broil for five minutes until brown and bubbly. You can add more chiles if you like, depending on your heat preference.

Cocktail bar gets serious recognition Williams & Graham, the false-front bookstore speakeasy in the Lower Highland neighborhood in Denver, has been named the Best American Cocktail Bar at the 2015 Spirited Awards. The award is so prestigious that the news was picked up by the venerable Esquire magazine, which said about W&G, “Here’s everything you need to know about it before booking a flight.” The story went on to say, “Outside of coastal cities and Chicago, no interior-American bar has ever won the coveted Drinks International award. New York Times cocktail writer Robert Simonson similarly tweeted that (co-owner) Sean Kenyon’s Bartender of the Year win at last year’s Spirited Awards was the biggest thing ever to happen to Denver’s cocktail scene. Last weekend, at a competition in New Orleans, Williams & Graham was named the Best American Cocktail Bar at the 2015 Spirited Awards.”

GoodBird Kitchen coming to Stapleton

GoodBird Kitchen will bring its award-winning fried chicken and fixin’s and Post Brewing Company beer to Stapleton in the spring of 2016. Dave Query, chef/owner of the Big Red F Restaurant Group, has signed a lease on a space in the new Stanley Aviation Marketplace. GBK will be a smaller, more streamlined version of The Post Brewing Company in Lafayette. It will offer its famous fried and rotisserie bird, local farm fresh sides, homemade pies and award-winning Post beers. “We are trying to create a simple, easy-to-use, valuedriven chicken concept,” Query said. “We like cooking bird the same way we like cooking and working with fresh seafood at Jax. The biscuits, the award-winning pies, the field-driven side dishes that we feature by the dozen each night. It’s all good. It’s all GoodBird Kitchen.” The Stanley Marketplace is a budding urban marketplace on the borders of Stapleton and Aurora. It was once the Stanley Aviation headquarters — where airplane ejector seats were engineered and manufactured — and when it reopens in 2016 it will be a community hub and gathering space with numerous like-minded businesses, a park, a beer hall and more.

The Arapahoe High School Toms march in last year’s Grand Parade. File photo

New faces join big parade Scouts, pageant participants, advocates will travel route By Jennifer Smith

jsmith@colorado communitymedia.com Yes, there will be marching bands, horses, veterans and first responders in the Western Welcome Week Grand Parade on Aug. 15, along with local favorites like Cowboy Steve crooning country tunes and the adorable Wild West Shelties pulling their tiny covered wagon. But each new year brings some new faces, and this is no exception. Boy Scout Troop 444 has decided to

combine Halloween and WWW. Littleton’s oldest troop, which has been meeting at First Presbyterian Church for 87 years, took over the 14-year-old Haunts of Littleton walking tour from the South Metro Denver Chamber of Commerce four years ago and will be promoting it during the parade. Scout leader Bob Archibald said Brian Vogt and John Brackney, neither of whom work for the chamber anymore, were looking to hand the event over to a group in Littleton who would carry it on and use it to make a little money. “They found us, and it’s a blast,” said Archibald. October dates still need to be nailed down, but the tours will start at 7 p.m. and leave every 10 minutes. Those who dare to venture downtown will learn about the

Coleman Motors building, its connection to the horrific death of race-car driver Joe Unser, and the mysterious “facts” that followed, along with many other eerie Littleton tales of terror. On a lighter note, local winners of the Miss American Coed Pageant are busy practicing their parade waves. The pageant is unique in that it forbids the use of makeup for girls younger than 13, and there is no swimsuit competition. It’s just for girls — “coed” is being used in the sense of what young ladies in college were called back in the day. “It’s more about who the girl is as a person, and building self-esteem,” said local “queen mom” Melissa Jaye. “These are about them being who they are at their age, and being the best they can be. It’s mostly

about the girl next door.” In addition to Jaye’s daughters Claire, 6, and Adalia, 10, a half-dozen or so other girls will ride on the float. They do other pageants, too, but Jaye said those are mostly practice for the MAC Pageant. And on a more serious note, Littleton residents Courtney and Brent Orrange will be riding with The Justice Run, a fundraising marathon in October at Hudson Gardens that supports the Orranges’ work with victims of human trafficking in Sierra Leone, Africa. “I don’t know why we never thought of being in the parade before,” said Jenny Watson, the run’s organizer. “We’ve gone every year we’ve lived in Littleton, for the last eight years.”

jsmith@colorado communitymedia.com As the summer days wind down toward the first day of school, there is still the granddaddy of all summer celebrations to look forward to: The 87th annual Western Welcome Week. The word “week” is used loosely here. It’s really 10 days packed full of events, with something for everyone from toddlers to teens, millennials to the greatest generation. For those who have grown up with WWW, the old favorites still remain: fireworks and barbecue at Sterne Park to kick

things off with a bang on Aug. 7, the Rive r Po i n t e S w i n g Dance, the quilt show at First Presbyter ian Church, the pancake breakfast at Arapahoe Community College and, of course, Festival Day on Aug. 15 featuring the Grand Parade and this year’s grand marshal, former Littleton High School coach Maurice “Stringy” Ervin. But hold on to your cowboy hats: There

are several new events this year, too. To catch them all, start on Aug. 7 after the fireworks by heading to Jake’s Brew Bar on Main Street. There you can dance the rest of the night away with Dustin Devine and the Real Deal classic honky-tonk while enjoying vittles from the Rolling Truck BBQ food truck and a wide variety of beers. The next night, That Eighties Band will perform at the Little Jam concert in Bega Park downtown, then you can walk back up the block to Jake’s again for the Fretliners, a Boulder-based “newgrass” group. Although the Colorado Center for the Blind’s staff and students have marched in the parade for years, this year they’re hosting their own event. On Aug. 10 at 2 p.m. or Aug. 13 at 9 a.m., they hope everyone will visit them at 2233 W. Shepperd Ave., just south and up the hill from downtown Littleton. Students will lead interactive

tours of the facility, formerly the YMCA. They will explain Braille, demonstrate adaptive technology, help visitors maneuver around with a sleep shade and a cane, and show off their own cooking and woodworking skills. Alamo Drafthouse Cinema has caught the Western spirit by the tail, as well. Every night at 7:30 from Aug. 10 through Aug. 13, it will present films to fit the bill: “The Good, the Bad and the Ugly,” “Once Upon a Time in the West” (featuring a five-course dinner/whiskey pairing for $60), “McCabe and Mrs. Miller” and “The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford.” With the exception of the dinner show, tickets are $11.25 for adults and $9 for seniors, military members and students.

Troop 114: Bearers of the banners Scouts lead the way in WWW Grand Parade By Jennifer Smith

jsmith@colorado communitymedia.com Boy Scout Troop 114 has long been the unsung, behind-the-scenes hero of Western Welcome Week’s Grand Parade. Every Festival Day, troop members get up early and head over to the staging area at Ketring Park in Littleton. Their mission is to carry the banners in front of key parade entries like marching bands and veterans’ groups. “It’s a pretty proud moment for the troops to be in uniform,” said Jim Blair, a scoutmaster for the troop from 1986 through 1998. “They look pretty sharp, and their families are proud of them.” Troop 114 prides itself on being a particularly youth-driven troop, so one Scout is in charge of rounding up help and organizing them into banner-carrying teams. There are about 20 banners, and two or three kids per banner. “Sometimes, if we don’t have enough kids, we have to meet them at the end of the parade and drive them back to the beginning to carry another banner,” said Bob Dickinson, scoutmaster of the troop from 1997 through 2002. The WWW theme this year is “Birthday Bash,” so it’s a great time to recognize

Jim Blair and Bob Dickinson, former scoutmasters of Troop 114, say having their own space inside Littleton United Methodist Church helps preserve its sense of unity and continuity. Photo by Jennifer Smith the troop for its efforts over the years. The 74-year-old troop just recognized its 200th Eagle Scout, Philip Huggins, who recorded the memories of 15 World War II veterans from Littleton’s American Legion George C. Evans Post 103.

Blair said only 5 percent of Boy Scouts make Eagle nationally, but 20 percent of those in Troop 114 do. Additionally, 74 years is older than the average troop; the Denver Council just celebrated a full century last year.

Eagle Scout helps veterans share memories World War II stories preserved in video By Jennifer Smith

jsmith@colorado communitymedia.com Most Eagle Scouts are proud of their accomplishments, but Philip Huggins has one reason nobody else can claim: His is the 200th Eagle Scout honor that Boy Scout Troop 114 has awarded since the troop’s inception 74 years ago. And it’s not just any ordinary Eagle Scout project that earned Huggins the achievement, either. A self-described “military brat,” he decided to honor 15 World War II veterans from Littleton’s American Legion George C. Evans Post 103 by interviewing them and creating a documentary full of their memories, their ambitions, their fears, their hopes.

“I’d like to be part of something gigantic like World War II,” said Huggins. “They have a lot of pride, and they didn’t back away from the challenge of being drafted. I want to have a milestone Huggins in history, that’s something I want to be a part of.” His dad is retired U.S. Navy, so he grew up in a lot of places — Japan, Kansas, Florida, Hawaii, Virginia, Brussels and finally Colorado. Huggins’ family and Boy Scouts were pretty much the only constants. “Boy Scouts taught me life skills, but what it really does is give you responsibility, so you’re not so dependent on your parents,” he said. “It’s kind of like training wheels for the rest of your life.” He was determined to end his

Boy Scout career on a high note, by doing something a little different than most Eagle Scout projects. “It’s just a great way to finish out strong,” he said. “When you put that much time and energy into something, you’ve got to finish it the best way you can.” Theodore Beckley, one of the veterans in the documentary, died soon after Huggins interviewed him. The video is dedicated to his memory. It can be viewed on YouTube and the websites of Troop 114 and American Legion Post 103. To watch the video, go to youtube.com and enter the title “World War II Veterans: American Legion Post 103, George C. Evans, Littleton, CO” in the search bar at top.

Since its inception, Troop 114 has met at Littleton United Methodist Church, which is celebrating its 125th birthday. “LUMC has been very supportive,” said Blair. “Our relationship with them has never been in question, except sometimes when we left a mess. But we always cleaned it up.” The church has even provided the Scouts their own room in the building, which allows them a place to permanently display their artifacts, like flags and photos, resulting in a heightened sense of history and continuity. Blair said the Methodist church is the largest global sponsor of Boy Scouts, though the Latter-day Saints hold that title in the United States. Blair and Dickinson, along with current Scoutmaster Bob Dagg, were all Eagle Scouts themselves, and all have sons who are or were Scouts. “It’s a terrific organization that helps young boys grow into men,” said Dagg. “It allows chances to fail and succeed in a very safe environment, and it provides an opportunity to learn, grow and develop essential adult skills.” Blair said Littleton has been a great place to nurture Troop 114. “Littleton is a wonderful, stable community, and the natural culture of it connects well with all youth programs,” he said. “The pleasure I get out of it is seeing these kids growing up in a positive direction,” said Dagg.

Town Hall Arts Center exhibit highlights work of two artists

IF YOU GO “Western Heritage Art Show” is open 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Mondays through Fridays in the Stanton Gallery at Town Hall Arts Center, 2450 W. Main St., Littleton. Opening reception from 5:30 to 8 p.m. Aug. 7. Admission is free. 303-794-2787.

By Sonya Ellingboe sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia.com

Painter Lee Wasilik, who is currently president of the gHeritage Fine Arts Guild, will join Diane Edwards in the -Stanton Gallery at Town Hall Arts Center for a “Western Heritage” art exhibit, in conjunction with Western Welcome Week 2015. Each artist will have about 10 paintings with a Western theme. A reception is planned from 5:30 to 8 p.m. on Aug. 7 (which is also First Friday at other downtown Littleton galleries). Wasilik writes that his parents were excited over a drawing of a telephone lineman climbing a pole that he created at age 3 and were supportive of his art training as he grew up. “I’ve had three careers,” he said recently. “At first, I wanted to be a commercial artist and a college instructor talked me out of it. I became a high school teacher and after four years, landed a job with the Denver Record Stockman in commercial art as a tech illustrator and writer.” Laid off in 1983, he studied electronics at Front Range Community College and did technical writing for AT&T for a while, then worked for Neocad and others in Boulder,

“Companions” by Lee Wasilik, 36” x 36”. until he retired. “All the while, I was painting — mostly in watercolors.” He’s lived in Littleton for about 12 years and joined the Heritage Fine Arts Guild. “Now, I paint mostly in acrylics, with crayons, with mixed media,” which will appear in this year’s “This is Colorado” show, hosted by HFAG at Arapahoe Community College later in the fall. His paintings in the WWW show include a couple of Main Street and others of old rural locations.

Alamo Avenue, Kershaw Designs presents a program called2 RadioControlled Car Racing Fun. See demonstrations of high-powered RC cars with chain-saw engines, ride in a wagon pulled by a giant RC car ($5) and even rent hobbygrade cars to race yourself ($5 for the length of a battery charge).

Then, starting at 1 p.m., head to the east end of Main Street to see an authentic demonstration of horseshoeing, starting with coalforaging the shoes out of metal bars, and ending with farriers from Oleo Acres Farrier Supply affixing them to the hooves of a blue roan Percheron.

The HFAG has about 75 members and is growing, he said. (It once got to 150.) Diane Edwards of Fort Collins painted “Bales on the Front Range,” and said of her painting, “I was raised on a farm and bales were my nemesis, so it is amazing that they turn up so often in my work. I look for the light and love the raking light in the early evening, particularly during harvest time.” She is a master signature member of the Pastel Society of Colorado and said her paintings are of the Fort Collins area, Loveland and the Front Range. She has been creating art “all my life: I devote most of my time to painting and teaching as well as writing. I have written eight books on Scandinavian folk art painting …. I like to work in pastel because of the immediate brilliance of the color sticks … I also paint in oils because of the juicy bright paints!” She likes to paint on wood panels and vintage pieces.

For those with any energy left after all the excitement, the a capella rock band Face will perform a free concert at 6 p.m. on the front lawn at Littleton Museum, 6028 S. Gallup St., on Aug. 16, the last day of WWW. For those who prefer to wind things down a bit more softly, the Old Timers Luncheon,

now renamed the Homecoming Luncheon to welcome anyone of any age who’d like to connect or reconnect with friends, starts at 10:30 a.m. at the museum. For more information on these and other WWW events, visit www.westernwelcomeweek.org or call 303-794-4870.

Merry men take to PACE center stage ‘Legend of Robin Hood’ runs through Aug. 22 By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe@colorado communitymedia.com A folk hero who has endured for 700 years in ballads, books and film, Robin Hood will come to the PACE Center stage in Parker in a new full-scale musical — with book, music and lyrics written by Gordon McCormack of Denver. Orchestration of “The Legend of Robin Hood” is by Jeremy Kurn, who is musical director for the production. Michelle Wilson is director and choreographer. Performances started Aug. 7 and will run through Aug. 22 at the PACE Center in Parker. The play is presented by the new Living Room Productions — the name is based on the hundreds of theater people who corralled siblings and playmates into performances in their living rooms, dining rooms, stair landings and back porches. We assume McCormack was among them. His news release speaks of growing up in a musical household where someone was usually practicing or listening to music. Robin Hood stories were McCormack’s favorites, and nine years ago, in a discussion about the various legends that date to the 15th century and have been told in ballads, books and films, his mother asked: “How would you tell it?” Subsequent years of research, workshopping and refining have resulted in the fullscale musical production to be presented at PACE Center in Parker. A look at the large cast’s biographies shows an across-the-board pleasure in being part of a new show. Andy Jacobs (Robin Hood) and his wife Jillyn Jacobs (Lady Marian) have toured across the country performing and settled in Denver two years ago. Keegan Flaugh of Littleton, a familiar face at Town Hall Arts Center and in Denver-area productions, will play the role of Sheriff of

A c r iter iu m for a c aus e

United Healthcare team helps change lives of two boys By Jennifer Smith

jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com “Can I leave now?” asked a very excited Tristan Rodrigues, 9, after patiently answering questions about how new hearing aids had changed his life. Then off he flew on his brand-new bike, donated by the same organization that helped him and his brother, 11-year-old Daniel, hold on to the gift of hearing. “He’d never heard the birds before,” said their mom, Debra. “The help is amazing.” The Rodrigues family has health insurance, but they found out the hard way it often doesn’t cover medical hardware like hearing aids and mobility products. When both boys failed hearing tests administered at their school, Debra realized there was a problem. “And Tristan would get loud,” she said, another sign of trouble.

Doctors suspect it’s a genetic condition, so their little sister, Ellen, will be tested eventually, as well. But with two boys in need of hearing aids, they had to find some help, said Debra. Enter the United Healthcare Children’s Foundation, which provides grants to fill the gap between what a child needs and what their benefit plan will pay for. Tristan and Daniel were selected for the honor because of their “inspiring perseverance in dealing with childhood hearing loss,” said Amber DiGiallonardo, publicist for the foundation. But the boys were just as excited about what was to come next. On Aug. 1, the United Healthcare pro cycling team competed in the Littleton Twilight Criterium, with Tristan and Daniel leading the way in the pace car as “Honorary

Pro Cyclists for a Day.” The team races at all the big events around the country, and chooses one each year from which to donate the winnings to the children’s foundation. The Littleton event was chosen this year. “When I see these kids, I say how proud I am to be with United Healthcare and be able to help them get on with their life,” said Grant Snyder, UHC’s vice president of sales. In addition to the bikes and heading up the race, Tristan and Daniel got autographed team jerseys, helmets and other team swag, right down to the socks. But they know what’s really important. “The hearing aids help me very well, and now I can hear a lot better around the community,” Tristan said.

Rock Canyon junior enjoys unified team

Claire Green, a junior at Rock Canyon High School, is an athlete partner who played for the East All-Star team in the July 28 Special Olympics Unified Sports All-Star soccer match at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park. Photo by Jim Benton

Soccer player finds fulfillment as part of Special Olympics squad By Jim Benton jbenton@colorado communitymedia.com Claire Green loved what she was doing on the soccer pitch July 28 at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park. She was a partner athlete representing the Colorado Rapids in the Special Olympics Unified Sports All-Star soccer match, which was part of the Major League Soccer All-Star events. Green, a junior at Rock Canyon High School who lives in Castle Pines, has played

recreational soccer for the past 10 years with Colorado Real, but her mother suggested something different last summer. She attended a tryout at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park, where her soccer skills and personality were evaluated and she was selected as a partner player on the Rapids Special Olympics Unified team. Unified sports brings together athletes with and without intellectual disabilities on the same team. “I don’t think there was a specific reason for me playing unified,” said Green. “My mom was the one to tell me about it, and she’s the reason why I got into it. I kept com-

ing back because I loved it so much. “It’s the coolest thing I’ve ever done. It’s real rewarding to play. I love to play soccer, so I get to play a sport that I love, and it is also rewarding to see the kids’ faces when they dribble the ball down the field. It is so fun to have kids also be in love with the sport and get to play.” Green was part of the East Unified All-Star team, which lost 3-2 to the West in a 7-versus-7 small-sided match, but the score was unimportant. “It was really fun,” said Green. “It was a really good experience. Last year I was in this program and got to watch a couple Rapids

games here. It was awesome. You are always in the stands watching, but when you are actually down on the field and you can look around and see all the people watching you, it’s so neat.” Recreational soccer is a passion for Green, who also enjoys skiing, piano and photography. “I just play in fall,” she said. “We just play together and have a really good time. It is more fun. You get to make better friends. I usually play defense but tried out for midfield, and now I mainly play mid. I like that because I can run more.”

Swimmer aims for slot on national team Griffin was proud to be on U.S. squad in Pan Am Games By Jim Benton jbenton@colorado communitymedia.com Carter Griffin recalls the first time he started swimming as a 4-year-old when his family resided in Georgia. “I could barely get across the pool,” he said. He no longer struggles when he jumps into a pool and has gradually climbed up the USA swimming ranks. Griffin, a Chaparral High School graduate

who swam for the Ponderosa co-op team, is now a junior at the University of Missouri and was a silver medalist in the 200 backstroke at the Pan Am Games in Toronto. He swam a long course 1:58.14 in the 200 backstroke and finished second behind American teammate Sean Lehane. Griffin was proud to be an American representative. “I had a great race in the Griffin finals,” said Griffin. “That was the first time I’ve swam for team USA. The best thing about the Pan Am Games was being on Team USA and being part of that atmosphere.

“Every time we walked on the deck we were a presence to be seen. Everyone was looking at the Americans and to be a part of that was huge. We were the top dogs, and it was a lot of fun being seen with those guys. Having USA on the jacket is pretty awesome.” Griffin, who holds the Missouri backstroke record of 1:40.17, won eight meet events as a sophomore last season with five of the victories coming in the 200 backstroke, two in the 100 backstroke and one in the 500 freestyle. As a junior swimming for the Ponderosa team, Griffin won the state Class 5A state championship first-place medals in the 200 and 500 freestyle events. He won his second consecutive 500 freestyle state title as a senior but was the runner-up in the 200 freestyle.

After his Pan Am Games experience, Griffin now has his sights set on making another USA men’s swimming team, and the Olympic trials are scheduled for next year. “Absolutely,” he said. “There are limited opportunities in the U.S. because everyone is so good. That is good because every team we put out on the international scene is going to be awesome. “So it’s going to be tough to get back on another U.S. national team, but that will definitely be a goal of mine. The rest of the world is catching up. We’re not quite as dominant as we’ve been in the past. That makes it that much more fun in international competition.”

Quilt show returning to church sanctuary

AUGUST 1-18

‘Interpretations of Elegance’ is theme for event tied to fest By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe@colorado communitymedia.com “Interpretations of Elegance” is the theme for the 2015 annual Western Welcome Week quilt show and luncheon at First Presbyterian Church of Littleton, according to organizer Jennie Staritzky, who has invited people to bring in favorite quilts to share with the community for a few days: Aug. 13-15. The quilts will be draped over the pews of the historic church at 1609 W. Littleton Blvd. for people to enjoy from noon to 7 p.m. on Aug. 14 and 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Aug. 15. Admission is free. In advance, at 12:30 p.m. on Aug. 9, quilt maker and historian Lori Stubbs will speak, show and discuss her vintage 1880 quilts, followed by a light lunch ($11). Reservations needed (Staritzky said this event sells out). Those willing to exhibit their quilts are asked to bring them to the church between noon and 6 p.m. on Aug. 13. Staritzky said there are usually more than 100 displayed. The event started in 2003, when an interim pastor asked Staritzky to plan a 120th birthday event for the church during Western Welcome Week. Response comes from both church members and the community at large. “It’s amazing who quilts,” she said, remembering a man whom she would have guessed was a heavy equipment operator, who brought a lovely quilt one time. The show is not judged, she said. Staritzky says she had two grandmothers who were quilters, but she actually is not. She is, however, a serious collector. She is a retired Littleton Public Schools teacher, and in the 1980s was a Littleton City Council member. “I was intimidated by the 14 stitches to the inch expected,” she said. She did complete one quilt — her grandmother had pieced a Kansas Star, which she quilted and was unhappy

There is one made out of feed sacks where you can still see the ‘chick feed.’” She continued: “So much was so transient — she was on a farm and cooked meals that were gone right away. Having something beautiful was satisfying, a way to honor time, energy, thought, imagination …” At the same time, church members will hold their Country Store Craft Sale and Used Book Sale, with a donated quilt to be raffled.

“We will definitely be putting in drop-off space at the ball field, and the potential recreation drop-off spot could be determined by HRCA,” she said. According to an old agreement, the parking lot expenses at Northridge are divided between the two entities, with HRCA responsible for 44 percent and HRMD responsible for 56 percent. In Ward’s presentation, she said HRCA is not interested in changing the expenses to a 50/50 share. The Metro District will be moving forward with the park’s renovation plan, with phase one starting in the fall. The restrooms will be renovated and so will the landscape near the front entrance of the recreation center. “It was the first park built. It’s just feeling the ware and tare of time,” Ward said. A grant application will be submitted to Great Outdoors Colorado in October for potential phase II funding, which will include renovation of the ball fields, irrigation, landscaping and retaining walls. Peters has organized a neighborhood meeting for those interested in finding out more about the park renovations, including the new drop-off spot, for mid to late August. They’re still trying to choose an appropriate date, she said.

Parking at Northridge Recreation Center and Park is at its max, according to the Highlands Ranch Metro District. Members have decided to add a drop-off spot near the ball fields to alleviate traffic. Courtesy photo
