Grant sparks environmental crusade Mackintosh Academy students bring ‘green’ focus to campus By Mark Bautista Special to Colorado Community Media A burgeoning interest in environmental awareness among Mackintosh Academy’s 95 students started with 97 solar panels for the roofs of three of the school’s buildings — a $95,000 project paid for by a student-written grant. Since then, “we’ve been growing things in the greenhouse, terracing, glass Solar continues on Page 5
Now in their final year at Mackintosh Academy, students Nicholas Booth, Sydney Gelman, Skyler Bernard and Delia Guilbert pose proudly in front of the solar panels, their energy initiative. Their grant, written in 2013, gave them $95,000 and the opportunity to provide energy and save money for Mackintosh Academy for years to come.
A plaque is planned for Alfred Packer Colorado cannibal’s grave will be group’s destination
A group of Highlands Ranch residents has filed a lawsuit to stop the planned expansion of C-470 between I-25 and Kipling Avenue, claiming the Federal Highway Administration and the Colorado Department of Transportation used flawed traffic noise data in the approval process. Highlands Ranch Neighborhood Coalition filed the suit in federal court against CDOT on May 12, also naming CDOT Executive Director Shailen Bhat and FHWA Colorado Division Administrator Joh Cater. Coalition president Carter Sales said CDOT did not do long-term noise sampling to validate its computer noise models during the public comment period last year, only conducting short-term sampling instead. “In their own written guidelines, shortterm and long-term are required,” Sales said. The lawsuit alleges that two long-term samples were collected after the public comment period ended, violating the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 by failing to allow public comment on the new data. “They tried to do a quick fix,” Sales said. The lawsuit challenges the FWHA’s Finding of No Significant Impact for the project as well. It asks the court to stop work on the project until the issues are addressed. “We’re saying that CDOT and FWHA have not taken our challenge to heart and we want a judge to decide,” Sales said. Bhatt, Cater and CDOT were served with summons on May 13. As of May 25, C-470 continues on Page 5

Block party kicks off Littleton summer
FACES AMONG US
By Kyle Harding kharding@coloradocommunitymedia.com A summer full of events in downtown Littleton kicks off June 11 with the 10th annual Main Street Block Party. “It’s the first one, and we really make a boom out of it,” said Greg Reinke, president of the Historic Downtown Littleton Merchants Association, sponsor of the event. “And I mean a boom,” he added, referring to the two fireworks shows of the event, at 9:30 p.m. and 10:45 p.m.
“The one at quarter to 11 is going to be bigger, badder and better than they’ve ever seen.” Reinke is expecting 20,000 people to show up for the food, beer, music and circus acts, beginning at 6 p.m. “It’s just a great way to start out the summer,” he said. The block party coincides with the 31st annual Mile High Hook and Ladder Fire Muster earlier in the day, sponsored by Schomp Automotive. Entry to the block party is free, and food and drink tickets can be purchased by calling 303-795-5006.

HELLO
... My Name Is
A glimpse of the people in our community
STACEY CRAWFORD About me I’m from northern California. I grew up in Sacramento. I’ve lived in the Denver area for about 18 years. I own The Vintage Vine furniture boutique on South Rapp Street. We’ve been open here about a year and a half. This is my first brick-and-mortar store. I was a vendor at a few multi-vendor boutiques and finally amassed enough inventory to
The search for what to sell Our vendors source their inventory from a lot of different places. We go to a lot of auctions, estate sales, private sales, that kind of thing. We don’t really do a lot of direct buy from private sellers. We carry one-of-a-kind pieces and keep our prices low, so we have a real quick turnover. For fun ... I love painting, and I love refinishing furniture, so the shop kind of is my hobby. I’m also a writer; I do a lot of freelance and blog writing.

ACC outreach director honored Arapahoe Community College Director of Student Recruitment and Outreach Howard Fukaye earned a lifetime achievement award from the Colorado Educational Services and Development Association last week in Avon. The statewide nonprofit organization is comprised of Colorado high school guidance counselors, college admissions professionals and businesses.

Tuck property under contract again Some neighbors concerned about proposal in Columbine Valley By Kyle Harding kharding@coloradocommunitymedia.com Some residents of Columbine Valley are upset about the latest effort to develop a 105-acre piece of farmland north and west of Cooley Lake. There have been several attempts by developers to build houses on Wild Plum Farm, also known as the Tuck property, over the years. “Nobody has ever gotten this far in the process,” said Town Administrator J.D. McCrumb. Developer Garrett Baum of Urban Frontier is proposing to put up to 105 singlefamily homes in three different styles on the property. For neighbor Ginny Rogliano, added density, construction and traffic are problems. “We’re just concerned with the amount of homes going into that property,” she said. Rogliano said that she is not against development, but said that some past home
A sign on the north side of Wild Plum Farm gives notice of an upcoming public hearing on a proposed development on the 105-acre property. Photo by Kyle Harding projects in Columbine Valley do not fit with the town’s character. Baum said that the property has been under contract to be developed several times in the past, each time with a developer proposing a higher density. “What we’ve proposed is in exact alignment with Columbine Valley’s master plan,” he said. The homes would be on lots ranging from 10,000 square feet, which is slightly less than a quarter of an acre, up to about a half-acre. Baum said that the lowestpriced homes would likely close for at least
$900,000, with prices ranging up to more than $2 million. Robert Tuck said that he and his family have decided to sell the property because its ownership is split between him and his siblings, but due to its value, none of them are able to purchase it outright. He declined to say how much money the property is under contract for. “We’ve always known at some point in time the property could be developed,” he said. Baum, who is the developer behind the project at the Lakewood-area Green Gables
Country Club, said that he wants to work with Columbine Valley residents who are opposed to the development. “I know there are residents who would prefer to see it as an open space park,” he said. In addition to higher density in Columbine Valley, Rogliano is concerned about fast population growth in the Denver metro area as a whole and problems that could pose to the water supply. But Baum said that stopping developments such as his won’t stop people from moving here. “They’re going to come whether or not the Tuck property is developed,” he said. Baum said that the Tucks’ right to sell their property outweighs neighbors’ concerns as long as the development is in line with Columbine Valley planning rules. “I believe we live in a country where people have property rights,” he said. The Columbine Valley Planning and Zoning Commission will hold a public hearing on the project on June 14. McCrumb said the approval process will likely take a long time due to the project’s size. “I would be surprised if anything happens before the end of the year,” he said.
Creekside Experience unveils outdoor connections Staff report The Creekside Experience, a six-acre park featuring natureexperience elements, was unveiled by Littleton and South Suburban Parks and Recreation District officials on May 21.

Sports Authority headquarters closing Retailer’s Englewood facility to cease operations June 3 By Tom Munds tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia.com

recycling,” eighth-grader Sydney Gelman said. “Everything has just become green.” Last month, Gelman and three other Mackintosh Academy eighth-graders won the Presidential Environmental Youth Award for the grant they wrote to buy and install the solar panels. They have been invited to visit the White House in August to receive formal recognition. Students’ motivation to better care for the environment started in 2014 when Gelman, Nicholas Booth, Delia Guilbert and Skyler Bernard — then sixthgraders — won the grant from The State Farm Youth Advisory Board. The panels, installed on Earth Day 2015, now save the school more than $3,000 in energy costs annually. As specified in the grant, the money saved goes into a “Solar Scholarship Fund” for prospective students who need financial assistance to attend the small, private school. In 2015-2016, the school had one recipient, said Beth Steklac, assistant head of school. The Mackintosh eighth-graders were one of two groups in their Environmental Protection Agency region — which includes Colorado, Montana, North Dakota,
Sports Authority has notified the state that the company will close its Englewood headquarters and terminate the jobs of 461 employees at the location on June 3. The company, which is closing down after filing for bankruptcy, made the notification on May 24, as part of a required Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification with the Colorado Department of Labor. The WARN document was signed by Douglas Garrett, Sports Authority interim vice president. It stated: “Due to unforeseen circumstances, Sports Authority must reduce its business operations and close certain operations of the Englewood Store Support Center on an accelerated schedule.” The WARN document stated the company could not provide the
South Dakota, Utah and Wyoming — to win the award. In 2016, 18 applicants from among the country’s 10 regions received the honor. “I think the biggest piece of getting the award was that we didn’t stop there,” Gelman said. The introduction of the solar panels catalyzed a schoolwide green movement. Students frequently visit the small, popular greenhouse that sits down the hill from the main office. A hydroponic system in the back of the greenhouse teaches students to grow plants with water, but without soil. Less soil use further reduces Mackintosh’s carbon footprint. Basil, peppers and dill — all planted by students — are among the herbs and vegetables growing in the sweltering shack. Students also cultivate pumpkins, potatoes and tomatoes in a garden they built adjacent to the greenhouse. Students sell the produce at their annual Mayfair, a celebration of international culture, to pay for other green projects. Recycling has also become a popular initiative. When students pot herbs in the greenhouse they “…use old newspapers and old coffee filters so that we don’t have to use new pots,” eighth-grader Gillian Schwanitz said. Also, a large, red, dumpster-like receptacle stands on the side of the school,
notice sooner while the company was seeking ways to remain in business, but since that didn’t happen, the decision was made to terminate positions at the Englewood location. Eric Keck, Englewood city manager, said his office received the notification on the same date as the WARN filing. “We appreciate receiving the letter from Sports Authority, even though it was very short notice of the closing,” he said. “I wish we had been able to work with the corporation on the closing. We had talked to Arapahoe Douglas Works. They said they would provide all the assistance they could to help the terminated employees find other positions. Unfortunately, we never were able to make contact with individuals at the corporate office to advise them of the offer to their employees.” He agreed the closing will have an impact on the community. He said he understood that businesses like the Tokyo Joes on Hampden Avenue and Steak House 10 on Elati Street each had quite a few Sports
ready to receive students’ used glass bottles. “When glass goes into a landfill, it’s done — no one can use it again,” eighthgrade student Sam Pausbeck said. “If you recycle it, you can melt it down and create new cups, bottles and jars.” Other green strategies include using alternate methods of lighting a classroom, like natural sunlight, or unplugging devices not in use. Some third-graders, dubbed “vampire hunters,” are assigned to unplug unused appliances that suck out unneeded energy. Even the youngest of students participate in Mackintosh’s green crusade. “I’ve seen a kindergartener pick up trash off the ground,” said Head of School Dianne Dunne. “It’s incredible.”
Authority employees regularly come in for lunch. The federal Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act requires filing of documents under specific circumstances involving mass layoffs. Cher Roybel Haavind, director of the state Office of Government, Policy and Public Relations, said the WARN can be filed with the state, as Sports Authority did. Filing the WARN is the latest chapter in what appears to be the end of Sports Authority. The company was facing a reported debt of $1.1 billion in March, and the company filed for bankruptcy in federal court in Wilmington, Delaware. Efforts to attract capital to continue operation or to attract a buyer were unsuccessful. On May 24, U.S. Bankruptcy Court Judge Mary Walrath approved the company proposal to have a team of liquidators start a going-out-of-business sale that will include all inventory and fixtures at all retail locations. The sale must be completed by Aug. 31.

Clampers, as members are called, will place a small bronze plaque at the grave with a short biography of Packer at 11:01 a.m. McBride estimates that 35 to 40 of them will make the trip, and the public is invited. “We’re really looking forward to it,” he said.
the process laid out by the Federal Highway Administration,” she said. The C-470 expansion project, scheduled to begin this summer and be completed in 2019, will add toll lanes between I-25 and Wadswoth Boulevard as well as auxiliary lanes in selected locations, interchange and bridge improvements and curve realignment. The project will cost $276 million, or $318 million including financing. It is being paid for with a loan that will be paid back with future toll lane revenue.

Remembering their sacrifice Memorial Day ceremonies offer solemn tribute to service members By Tom Munds tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia.com Memorial Day events held at various locations in the south metro area drew sizable crowds, as ceremonies honored members of the military services, with a focus on those who lost their lives serving the United States. There were separate events in Englewood, Littleton and Fort Logan National Cemetery, and while each was different, each was at least partly the same with speeches, music and a time to remember the fallen veterans. The Englewood Veterans Memorial group organized the May 28 event at Englewood High School. The theme was honoring all veterans, and there was a special time to recognize those who served in the Korean War. There was a touching tribute to EHS graduates who sacrificed their lives in the service of our country with pictures, flags and a pair of combat boots sitting below each picture. Littleton veterans groups hold two identical services May 30, one at 8 a.m. at Littleton Cemetery and one at 10 a.m. at the Littleton World War II Memorial. Along with speeches, there was bagpipe music in Littleton. A guest read a poem titled “My Plea,” written by Lance Cpl. Patrick Hannon, the first Littleton resident to die in Vietnam. Those attending the 8 a.m. service were asked to join the speaker in repeating the final line, “Answer my one and only plea; Keep America Free.” A crowd estimated at more than 2,000 gathered for the May 30 Memorial Day ceremonies at Fort Logan National Cemetery. Veteran Joe Lucas brought his service dog Cody. He said he came to reflect and remember all the patriots who sacrificed their lives to maintain our freedom.
Members of the All Veterans Honor Guard raise their rifles as they fire the 21-gun salute that was part of the Memorial Day celebration at the Littleton Cemetery. A couple hundred people attended the event, held as a remembrance of those who sacrificed their lives in the service of our country. Photos by Tom Munds While most people were gathered up close to the speakers’ stand, Maria Gonzales sat alone near one of the long lines of white headstones. “I want to be here by myself with my memories of my dad and friends who are buried here,” the Douglas County resident said. “I came early and visited Dad. Then I went to a couple other graves where guys I knew were buried. I try to come as often as I can, but particularly on Memorial Day and Veterans Day to honor what my dad and my friends did for us.” The speeches ended, the 21-gun salute was fired and the finale was about 20 musicians positioned around the lake so the mournful sound of “Taps” echoed across the water and the Garden of Stone, a term referring to the long, arrow-straight lines of white headstones marking veterans’ graves.

Many of those Scouts joined Johnston at the May 30 Memorial Day Ceremonies at Fort Logan.

High Line Canal group seeks input from public Conservancy holds outreach sessions about trail’s future
Not Every vacation lives
By Sonya Ellingboe sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia.com
up to its name
The recently formed High Line Canal Conservancy, dedicated to preserving 71 miles of High Line Canal Trail and connecting communities, parks and users along the way, is ready to begin planning for the corridor with as much community input as possible. The initial development, intended to irrigate agricultural land in what is now citified Denver and Aurora, was completed in 1883 and was acquired by Denver Water in 1924. In 1970, Denver Water began a series of agreements with municipal agencies, such as South Suburban Parks and Recreation District, to maintain and safeguard recreational trails. Some parts are paved, and others, dirt and gravel. The conservancy was formed by involved people in order to lead future planning. (Denver Water is included.) The public outreach and visioning phase is called Chapter One: “Adventure on the Canal: Charting Our Course For the Next Century.” A kickoff event was planned on May 31, with Gov. John Hickenlooper biking with local children at Triple Creek Trail in Aurora. A series of community meetings will follow, where citizens will share thoughts on the future of the canal. The first three, with identical content, are called “Our Journey Begins.” People are welcome to attend wherever convenient. They will take a journey along all 71 miles from the foothills to the plains and share thoughts. • June 8, 4 to 8 p.m., Northern Area Open House, Aurora Central Library, 14949 E. Alameda Parkway, Aurora. • June 9, 11 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., Central Open House, Lowry Town Center, fountain area along Second Avenue at Quebec Street, Denver. • June 9, 4 to 8 p.m., Southern Area Open House, Goodson Recreation Center, 6315 S.

A south area segment of the High Line Canal Trail, which the High Line Canal Conservancy hopes to turn into a continuous 71-mile trail, with community input guiding the process. Courtesy photo Chapter Two — “A Fork in the Road” — will be held the week of July 18 at Expo Park Recreation Center, Eloise May Library and Eisenhower Park Recreation Center to focus on future opportunities and challenges, and how these impact the growing narrative. Chapter Three — “Our Story” — will be held the week of Sept. 5, locations to be announced, and will share a draft of a shared vision for the canal, asking for feedback. Chapter Four — “Looking Ahead” — will be held the week of Oct. 17, locations to be announced, and will present the draft action plan, focusing on implementation and next steps. Online surveys will be available in June and July, allowing for more input. Participate throughout the launch and subsequent events on social media by following @ COHighlineCanal and using the hashtag #71miles.

Challenges, balance are key to good life “Every day is a new challenge.” That was the response to the first question I had asked of Diana Rudolph during our coffee meeting the other day. It was such a great response and it fueled the rest of my questions for our brief visit together. Now for some context. You see, I had written a couple of recent columns “The Champion in All of Us,” and “Being CrossFit for Life,” and talked about the importance of keeping balance in all areas of our lives. Too much of anything and soon enough an overdeveloped strength can quickly become a weakness. So we need to invest time proportionately in ourselves and in our family and friends in the areas of our mind, body and spirit. Many people responded to the columns and shared their views and opinions, some focused on how they balance and prioritize their lives, others had questions on how to actually achieve this balance, and others focused on the CrossFit element. One local reader and owner of the CrossFit Loop thanked me for the column and invited me to come and work out with him and the gang at his box. I appreciate Korby for the invite and for the introduction to Diana Rudolph, who happened to be training there that day. I would say it was a coincidence, but we know that coincidences are just God’s way of staying anonymous. Diana recently qualified for the CrossFit Games, kind of like the Super Bowl for football or the World Series in baseball. She is currently ranked 22nd amongst the women in the world and is looking forward to competing at the very highest level as the CrossFit Games get underway this summer. My curiosity was piqued for sure. So I had to ask more about when she got started, how
she trains, eats, sets goals and balances all other areas of her life. I mean, here she is ranked 22nd and competing at the highest level in the sport and she only started training five years ago, and before she started her journey she shared with me that she Michael Norton could not do any of the exercises, let alone one WINNING pull-up. She has a family, runs a business, and WORDS finds time to train three hours a day, three days a week. She has three trainers and trains in two different CrossFit boxes, CrossFit Loop and Front Range CrossFit. By the way, special shout-out to her coaches Scott, Renee, Mike and Korby for helping Diana get to this point. Now, her achievement is pretty incredible and I can’t wait to see how the games turn out. But what she shared with me as we started the conversation is what really got my attention. “Every day is a new challenge.” That is what she loves about CrossFit and what she loves about life. Many of us face new challenges every day in all that we do. So for my own benefit and for your benefit I asked her about how she deals with those challenges. Her answer: • Set goals — general goals that can be achieved, stretch goals where she can push the envelope every day • She does this because she wants to find out where her peak actually is; challenges inspire her.
• She has learned how to balance all areas of life and has become self-sufficient in so many ways. • Discipline and intensity. • Leans on her coaches and advisers. Diana has at least two new goals. She participates in a fundraiser called the Do More Charity Challenge. Last year her team came in second and her goal this year is to take first place. And she is currently ranked 22nd and her goal is to break into the top 10. I love this because one is a personal goal and one is a communitydriven goal and a way for her to give back. That is the balance I am talking about. I may have forgotten to mention that Diana is 52 years old. So she began her journey at 47. So you see, it really doesn’t matter where we are in our lives, we can set and achieve goals at any time and at any age. And as a matter of fact, Diana’s mom, Sharon, started CrossFit training at age 73 and has also recently competed. It reminds me of what Zig Ziglar used to say, “We cannot make any more new yesterdays, but we can create as many new tomorrows as we possibly can.” What’s on your list for a new tomorrow? I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@ gmail.com and when we can set goals, push to find our peak, find balance in our lives, live with discipline and intensity, lean on our coaches and advisers and give back to the community, it really will be a better than good week. Thanks for being such a great example, Diana, and we all wish you success in the CrossFit Games. 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.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Be prudent with petitions Currently 24 ballot proposals have been approved for petition circulation. This means you will probably be approached by a variety of petition circulators at your grocery store, library, shopping mall or other public venues asking you to sign a variety of initiative petitions. And most will advocate signing the petition “just to get it on the ballot so people can vote on it.” Be cautious. Your signature is valuable. The League of Women Voters of Arapahoe and Douglas Counties suggest you consider these six questions to help you decide whether or not to sign a petition. • Is it complex? Some issues can be decided by a simple yes or no vote. Complex issues may need additional questions answered and explained. • Is it confusing? Some ballot proposals may require court resolutions or interpretation. Ask the circulator to explain the issue. • Does it belong in the Colorado Constitution? If the issue passes and is placed in the Colorado Constitution, it will stay there forever. The only way it can be changed it by another vote of the people. • How will it be funded? An initiative should generally create its own revenue source and not earmark, restrict or obligate a specific percentage of the state’s General Fund revenues. • Who is behind it? Who are the sponsors and opponents? If you wish more research go to www.sos.state. co.us and click on elections & voting, then on initiatives, then on proposed initiatives. • Ask to see the petition circulator’s ID. Paid gathers are required to carry a picture ID issued by the Secretary of State. You can prevent fraud by insisting on seeing identification. As the League of Women Voters has long advocated: “Think Before You Ink.” Marlu Burkamp Littleton

Song planted idea, and then words went to seed The following column is intended for mature audiences. Reader discretion is advised. I have always wanted to say that. Even though there is no cause. The words to a song changed my life. If it weren’t for the words to this song, where would I be right Craig Marshall Smith now? I would be in NoQUIET DESPERATION wheresville. I know I would be living in the Englishlanguage slums with an unwashed vocabulary, getting by with catchy phrases like “Pleased to meet you,” and “How is your mother, Carl?” My tongue would be thick, untrained, and guilty of the mispronunciation of words like “perpendicular” and “genuflect.” By the way, you can’t be perpendicular and genuflect at the same time. It was tried once by a man in Ottawa. He sus-
tained injuries that were not life-threatening. I consider the “West Side Story” soundtrack to be life-threatening. Not in the sense that I’m going to die when I listen to it. In the sense that it profoundly threatens the quality of my existence. Where was I when I first heard the song that changed my life? I do not know. How old was I when I heard the song? I do not know. I must have been 5 or 6, because I can vaguely recall singing it on the playground. It turned heads for two reasons. Then as now, I couldn’t sing worth crapulence. Secondly, the lyrics are stupefying. “Say what?” Jimmy Detwiler said. “Excuse me?” Emily Danford said. OK. So if Jimmy and Emily were in the picture, that places me in Hopwood, Pennsylvania. Now we are getting somewhere. It had to have been 1953 or 1954. I was still unfamiliar with Edward R. Murrow at that point. The song came out of our new Philco. I kind of remember Dave Garroway asking Marlin Perkins, “Did you see or touch any monSmith continues on Page 11

Legislature on wrong side in Colorado beer war The Colorado Legislature passed a compromise bill in the waning hours of the legislative session, which if signed into law, would make a bad situation even worse. The last-minute bill requires our antiquated liquor laws to favor one competitor over another for the next 20 years. Grocery store chains in Colorado are pushing for a ballot initiative in November that would give them the right to sell beer and wine in more than one location. Currently, a grocer can apply for a liquor license, but only in one store throughout the state. The exception is the sale of so-called “near beer” with an alcohol content of 3.2 percent or less. These restrictions benefit the mom-andpop liquor stores to the detriment of chain groceries. Existing Colorado law sides with David, not Goliath. The heart of the compromise is a 20-year prohibition of real competition. The bill establishes a complicated set of conditions that grocery stores must meet before they can compete freely. The worst condi-
tion is a geographic monopoly that can be overcome only if a liquor store decides to sell their business to a grocer. Senate Bill 197 continues to favor David. My view is that Colorado’s alcohol laws are mired in Prohibition-era poliJerry Presley tics of the previous century and should GUEST be overhauled way COLUMN beyond letting grocery store chains sell real beer and wine. For example, Colorado law requires a local licensing board to judge a person’s “moral character” and deny a license if the applicant doesn’t measure up. Should a licensing board ask an applicant if he or she ever committed adultery? That act is immoral and sinful but, in Colorado, it’s
not illegal. The state also requires a liquor applicant to declare their race, even though this is not required for a Colorado birth certificate or a driver’s license. This information is not needed for identification and is irrelevant in determining a person’s worthiness to obtain a liquor license. Government has two legitimate interests in controlling alcohol sales: It should prohibit the sale of alcohol to minors and it should prohibit the sale of alcohol to intoxicated persons. Alcohol sales absolutely should be licensed and regulated. Beyond that, government has no business favoring one seller over another regardless of the size of the seller. Government should treat big business the same as small business and vice versa. Its role is to make sure there is a level playing field. The marketplace should pick winners and losers. However, the compromise bill specifically requires a liquor applicant to prove there is an unmet need in the neighborhood before a new license can be granted.
It seems to me that if anyone wants to risk money to compete in the marketplace, then by definition, there is an unmet need. The person risking money certainly thinks so. Why should government determine “need” when entrepreneurs and consumers can do it far better and much more efficiently? The compromise legislation is not in the best interests of citizens, voters or consumers. The State of Colorado should not favor David or Goliath. Let them battle. I think there is a good chance that everyone will win, especially the consumer. The proposed legislative compromise does not pass the smell test and I hope Gov. John Hickenlooper signs his name on the line that says “veto.” Protecting the special interests of some by prohibiting competition from others is not the proper role of government.

In praise of ‘Pomp’ Regarding the recent article, “‘Pomp and Circumstance’ has worn out its welcome,” I have to disagree. My daughter graduated from high school last week and walked to “Pomp and Circumstance.” There is something special about traditions like this living on from one generation to the next. Watching my daughter walk to that music was both a moving experience and a bonding one as well, just like

keys?” And then Garroway introduced a local man who sang a novelty song. It began like this. “Mairzy doats and dozy doats and liddle lamzy divey. A kiddley divey too, wooden shoe!” I’m telling you. I didn’t know what to think. I didn’t know what I had just heard. But that is exactly how my love for words and wordplay began. Only I didn’t know it at the time. It took hindsight. A date asked me, “How do you come up with these things?” She was referring to a comment I had just made about the similarities between non-dairy whitener and Kanye West. I said, “It’s because of this song,” and I began to sing it. “Please don’t,” she said. “Mail it to me.” I did, but it came back. It was marked “Return to sender, address unknown.”

“Elvis,” I said to myself. That one little song showed me that language can be an art. Words can become poems, non-sequiturs, double entendres, palindromes, innuendos, puns, quips and homophones, deer readers. One of the song’s writers said the song was based on an English nursery rhyme. “Cowzy tweet and sowzy tweet and liddle sharksy doisters.” “Mairzy Doats” was composed in 1943, recorded by the Merry Macs, and it reached No. 1 in 1944. All I know is that it changed my life. It opened me up to the possibilities of clever wording. My next encounter with grammar play came every day at noon in 1956 when we lived in Ann Arbor, Michigan. It involved a man named Milton Supman. His stage name was Soupy Sales. The English nursery rhyme was a twist on “Cows eat wheat and sows eat wheat and little sharks eat oysters.” Craig Marshall Smith is an artist, educator and Highlands Ranch resident.

OBITUARIES
Contacts Unlimited is a business and profesother rite-of-passage traditions often are. When I graduated college, the ceremony had to be moved indoors due to rain, which meant the orchestra could not adapt to the technical needs of “Pomp.” I was so stunned and disappointed to find that I was walking down the aisle to different music that I could hardly concentrate on the ceremony. There is nothing wrong with being tired of that music, and it may be a little thing in the big scheme of graduation, but I hope that Mr. Reader’s is the minority opinion.

Littleton church uses comedy to raise money for a pair of causes By Kyle Harding kharding@coloradocommunitymedia.com
A
little before 7 p.m. on a Saturday, comedian Bob Meddles takes the stage. A small church in Littleton seems like an odd place to see stand-up comedy, but Meddles, billed as The Comic Next Door, isn’t out of place in front of a few dozen audience members in pews drinking iced tea and eating cookies. “I have, believe it or not,” he answers, when asked if he’s played a church before. “It’s just a very different show.” Prince of Peace Church of the Brethren on South Windermere Street is a slightly different church. Pastor Gail Valeta’s sermon last Sunday was on “Star Wars” and Celtic theology, so a stand-up comedy show to benefit a pair of the church’s causes in Africa — Nigerians displaced by the Boko Haram terrorist group and Ethiopians without access to water — is not much of a stretch. “This is one way we thought we could help,” Valeta said of the event, Stand Up for Africa. This is the second time Prince of Peace has tried a comedy show as a benefit. In 2010, the church hosted a benefit for those affected by that year’s massive earthquake in Haiti. Comedy in a place of worship isn’t all that uncommon. Outreach Inc., a Colorado Springs-based company that books entertainment acts for churches, lists dozens of comics on its website. Marjorie Hofer of Peace Mennonite Community Church in Aurora said her church has had Christian comedy troupes put on shows in the past. She came to the show because Peace Mennonite also supports the victims of Boko Haram. For some, however, it may not line up with their perception of church. “I’m a recovering Catholic,” congregant Tom Mauser said. “You would never think of this (in a Catholic church).” As would be expected for the venue, the comedy was devoid of swear words or sexual material. The darkest subject
Comedian Bob Meddles performs at Prince of Peace Church of the Brethren in Littleton on May 21. The church hosted a stand-up comedy show to benefit humanitarian causes in Nigeria and Ethiopia. Photo by Kyle Harding matter Meddles touched on was a bit about assisted suicide, but he mostly stuck to self-deprecating jokes about his weight — “Don’t be fooled by the suit, there’s a whole lot of me under here” — and stories about marriage, fast food and Costco. “We made it a requirement that it be
family-friendly — which was hard to find,” Valeta said. Mauser and fellow churchgoer Paul Rohrer served as openers for Meddles, using slideshows, Russian and Italian accents and lots of puns. Stand-up continues on Page 13

Rough Riders explored in Coloradan’s book Author addresses large crowd at Littleton event
surgery and his son was ill. “It was an opportunity to have their own war for the men of the late 19th century,” Gardner observed. His book’s opening chapters are filled with stories of American men of all sorts, eager to go to war — there were 6,ooo applications for the three regiments (about 1,000 openings) assigned to Roosevelt eventually — and they were treated like today’s rock stars as they traveled south by train to sail to Cuba. Although he included some of his rich Eastern society friends, the bulk of his Rough Riders were Westerners, cowboys and ranchers. Each man had to supply his own uniform, “Khaki uniforms were new” — and Gardner notes that Roosevelt’s was tailored by Brooks Brothers in New York. Roosevelt also brought along about a dozen pairs of spectacles, packed in various nooks and crannies, so he could always find a pair. He had a cavalry contingent, although when it came time to sail, there wasn’t room to take the horses, due to inexperienced planners up and down the line. Gardner found family letters written by Roosevelt’s men, as well as letters to their hometown newspapers, that gave him lots of first-person material to include in this very readable volume. The Rough Riders had three mascots: Josephine, a mountain lion; a little dog called Cuba; and a golden eagle called Teddy. Young women wanted buttons from the men’s uniforms for souvenirs, he said
By Sonya Ellingboe sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia.com Colorado author Mark Lee Gardner is said to be the first biographer to tell the Rough Riders’ story from Teddy Roosevelt’s point of view. The author spoke to a sizable crowd at Gardner the Tattered Cover Aspen Grove on May 10 about his new book, “Rough Riders: Theodore Roosevelt, His Cowboy Regiment and the Immortal Charge up San Juan Hill.” The Spanish were mistreating the Cubans, Gardner said, but the sinking of the U.S. battleship Maine in February 1898 was the factor that really inflamed Americans, who were hungry for a war — “a war for humanity.” Was it an underwater mine? The Spanish claimed it was internal, Gardner said. “Why would Spain provoke a war with the U.S.? Did the Cubans do it? “ President McKinley told the Spanish to get out of Cuba, or else — and they declared war. Teddy Roosevelt, who was secretary of the Navy, was pushing for war. Garner said that surprised people who knew him, since his wife was recovering from
in describing the scenes at train stations. Gardner had a small segment of early film shot of the Rough Riders that he shared with the audience, then said after they were loaded on the ship, ready to sail, they were held up for six days, in sweltering heat, awaiting a naval escort. They finally did arrive in Cuba, and their ranks included some buffalo (black) soldiers in separate units. The war was over soon — troops were back by September. “They were kind of like astronauts,” Gardner observed. There were Rough Rider games, cigars, baking powder … Several signed on with Buffalo Bill’s Wild West Shows … they had annual reunions through the 1960s.” Gardner, wearing an embroidered cowboy shirt, is also a musician and concluded his talk with a rendition of “Hot Time in the Old Town Tonight” from the era — accompanied by a vintage banjo. The new book, published in May by Harper Collins, will be a logical addition to the American history buff’s library.

Rohrer teaches acting, and Mauser has developed somewhat of a following for humorous slideshows he began doing for his job at the Colorado Department of Transportation. “They asked me to do the announcements one Sunday,” Mauser said. “They hadn’t seen the comic side of me.” Despite the serious matters the show benefitted, Mauser said a comedy event fits perfectly.

travel long distances with pack animals to fetch water from streams. “This is just basic needs,” Haile said. “We’re not talking about anything fancy.” Haile, who left Ethiopia to attend college in the U.S. in 1978, spent six weeks working in Ethiopia last year. He said a comedy show is a great way to raise money to help the effort. “The whole point of church is to provide service,” he said. Valeta spoke to the crowd about the situation faced by Christians and Muslims in northeastern Nigeria, where Boko Haram has killed thousands, destroyed towns and kidnapped young girls. “Boko Haram may be worse than ISIS,”
Valeta said. The victims include many members of Church of the Brethren, which is her church’s denomination. Valeta said the money is going directly to volunteers on the ground, providing food, blankets and shelter. “We know the funds are not being pilfered or being squandered,” Valeta said. In addition to raising more money than Valeta expected, the show was a crowd-pleaser. “He was such a blast,” Hofer said of Meddles. Valeta also thought the show was a success. “I just laughed my head off,” she said.

Authors gather to honor their own Banquet at Denver hotel packs in Colorado writers
By Sonya Ellingboe sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia.com The Colorado Authors’ League banquet (and 85th birthday party) was sold out on May 6 as local professional authors gathered to honor their own at the Courtyard by Marriott on Colorado Boulevard. Awards went to newly published works in 12 categories. A record number of entries were judged this year by members of the Southwest Writers, an Albuquerquebased writing organization. Claudia McAdam, a Highlands Ranch author of children’s books, who had been a finalist twice previously, was a
winner in the Children’s Category for her lyrical picture book, “The Mermaid’s Gift.” Judges said, “The rich language of the text combines with beautiful watercolor illustrations to present not only a moral tale, but also a feast for the eyes and ears of the picture book reader.” Set on the tiny Venetian island of Burano (where lace-making prevails), it tells of a young couple’s efforts to help starving neighbors and Gianni’s encounter with a friendly mermaid who introduces lace. The CAL, in its 68th year of contests, honored mystery writer Margaret Coel of Boulder with a Lifetime Achievement Award for her series of Wind River tales. Poet Lois Beebe Hayna, 103 and still writing (she appeared at Bemis Library in Littleton last year), won for her poetry collection, “Moon-Hung Midnights.” She
was winner of the Lifetime Achievement Award in 2014. Other winners: • Essays — “After Charleston” by Patricia Raybon. (Outpouring of love.) • Children’s books — “The Mermaid’s Gift” by Claudia Cangilla McAdam. • Young Adult Books — “War Bonds — Remembering One Small Town in America During World War II” by Beverly Jones. • General Non-Fiction — “Prophets and Moguls, Rangers and Rogues, Bison and Bear” by Heather Hansen. (About the turbulent history of the national park system.) • Creative Non-Fiction — “Flying with El Condor” by Carolyn Evans Campbell.

Curious Theatre play is thought-provoking ‘White Guy on a Bus’ makes some uncomfortable points
By Sonya Ellingboe sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia.com Shatique is riding a city bus and clipping coupons as she goes — coupons that will go to her mother, who is caring for her son in a safer neighborhood in New Jersey, where she visits once a week. Ray, a prosperous white businessman, sits next to her, chatting as though they had met before. Bruce Graham’s multi-faceted look at racial disparities we see every day in our society — “White Guy on a Bus,” at Denver’s Curious Theatre — leaves an audience thinking and talking when it’s time to head home. A layered stage takes us for rides on a bus toward the state prison where Shatique’s brother is serving a life sentence and elsewhere.
Jada Suzanne Dixon’s character, Shatique, was inspired in part by women whom playwright Bruce Graham met as he took the Rikers Island bus (the one that goes to New York City’s main jail) and talked with passengers and guards about the visits and life situations. She is going to school, working and trying to stay connected with her family — and stressed. “Why are you on this bus?” she asks Ray — he’s the only white person on board on several trips. Another stage level on Michael Duran’s clever set places us in the comfortable suburban home of Roz (Dee Covington) and Ray (Sam Gregory). She teaches in an inner-city school, but leaves for home while it’s still daylight. He wonders why another Thai or Vietnamese restaurant, rather than an American one? Roz is outspoken to the point of being brutal and the dialogue gets heated and pointed throughout the play for assorted reasons as stories develop. “Conversation is a contact sport for Roz,” Sam tells his sensitive

daughter-in-law Molly. Ray also is able to find out facts about anyone — and does — through a private investigator used in his work. “I’m a numbers guy,” he says proudly — but he’s also restless and thinking they should sell everything and move along, while she is devoted to her career. A third area suggests the apartment of Ray’s son, Christopher (Andy Waldschmidt) and his wife Molly (Rachel Bouchard), who choose to live in the city and would be classified as “academic liberals.” (They choose the city, that is, until she becomes pregnant and fears for a little child’s welfare there.) Christopher is completing his doctoral dissertation on “Male African-American Images in Television Advertising” (what qualities should they have?) and is getting input from black colleagues that he has no right to that topic. Does he? Shatique’s walk-up apartment is high in a corner. Director Chip Walton moves his cast through varied scenes with skill,

Graham’s well-crafted dialogue carries the story, interconnecting the characters and stories as tensions build. Veteran actors Dixon, Gregory and Covington build conflict, contrasting with the less-experienced young couple. Where might truth lie? Is there any one truth? This is a timely new play, in its third outing at Curious Theatre as part of a National New Play roll-out, intended to give a new work “legs.” It should hit a nerve in cities across the nation, although some may find it rough.

Eagles finish fifth at state Kempton shoots pair of 79s to tie for ninth place By Jim Benton jbenton@colorado communitymedia.com Heritage finished fifth in the girls Class 5A State Golf Championships, which were held May 23 and 24 at Common Ground Golf Club in Aurora.

She recorded three birdies over two rounds, including one on the 18th hole of the final round. Cherry Creek and Rock Canyon tied for sixth. Cherry Creek’s Stephanie Bang was the top Bruins golfer at 163 with rounds of 81 and 82. Mary Weinstein of Regis Jesuit won the individual championship with a 4-under-par, 36-hole total of 140.

Creek sophomore is mentally tough Micha Handler honored as Girls Tennis Player of Year By Jim Benton jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com Cherry Creek sophomore Micha Handler stood at the back fence, her back turned away from court in order to focus during the first set of the No. 2 singles final of the Girls State Tennis Championship on May 14 at the Gates Tennis Center in Denver. Handler worked on improving her mental game this season, and that helped her go undefeated in 25 matches. She won the state’s No. 2 singles championship and has been named Colorado Community Media’s South Metro Girls Tennis Player of the Year. “I was just trying to take it slow,” Handler explained about the time she needed to focus during the first set. “It was very mental in the first part of the set and I was just trying to slow up.” Handler beat Poudre’s Alessia Pabiano, 6-1, 6-1 to finish the season without losing a set including in the regionals, state tournament and a Chattanooga, Tennessee, college-format tournament. “I didn’t lose a set this season but I had some close matches,” she said noting that a 6-4, 6-4 win over Air Academy’s Cori Campbell in the Cheyenne Mountain Invitational was her toughest of the season. “The match at the
Cheyenne Mountain Invitational was 4 and 4. It was windy and we had some real long points but I pulled it out.” Handler, who played No. 1 doubles for the Bruins last season and was third in the state meet, was mentally ready for this season. “I improved not only my game but mentally,” said Handler. “The team has helped me. It’s so fun having everybody cheering for each other. That’s so different from last year. Our team feels stronger even though we didn’t win the state championship. “The mental part is really important, especially being a singles player, because it is all on yourself. I played doubles last year and sometimes you can rely on your partner. For singles it’s all you. Luckily this season I was pretty strong mentally. If I wasn’t as strong mentally I don’t think I would have won.” Creek coach Chris Jacob points toward Handler’s work ethic as part of the reason for her success. “She had an amazing season,” said Jacob. “She’s a hard worker. She pushes herself in practice and makes the people around her better too. She’s determined. She grinds out every point. She’s going to get her racket on everything. “Then, she’s going to make things happen too. She can dictate the point really well. She hits with a lot of pace and figures a shot ahead and makes sure she is in charge of the point.”

It’s time to rewind some of the highlights from the 2015-16 high school sports seasons. Like many highlight reels, it’s possible some of the best performances and efforts might have been trimmed or overlooked, so consider this a sampling: • Pomona defeated top-ranked Valor Christian, 28-14, in the Panthers’ first game of the 2015 football season. Later, the teams would clash again, this time in the Class 5A state championship game. Valor scored 15 unanswered points and used a key Panthers’ fumble late in the game to notch a 28-26 victory. • Westminster’s football team opened eyes by winning its Jim Benton first nine games beOVERTIME fore a loss in the first round of the playoffs. • Holy Family senior quarterback Chris Helbig had people in the Colorado High School Activities Association office scanning state record books. He passed for a record 607 yards in the season-opener and had 3,517 yards passing and 39 touchdowns before a knee injury ended his season after nine games. • Valor Christian won its second straight Class 4A softball championship by breaking up a no-hitter in the semifinals and another in the final. • Mountain Vista’s boys soccer team, seeded 28th in the 5A playoffs, made a remarkable run by upsetting teams ranked 12th, fourth and first but lost 2-1 in overtime to No. 2 seed Broomfield in the state finals. • In the seen-it-before category, Valor won its fourth straight 4A boys golf title, Cherry Creek’s boys captured their fourth consecutive tennis title and 41st in the past 44 years, and Mountain Vista’s boys won their fourth cross country championship in a row. SkyView Academy’s Ben Butler won his second consecutive 3A boys cross country crown. • And, for those who love replays, girl swimmers Brooke Stenstrom of Valor Christian and Abby Kochevar of Rock Canyon were worth watching. Stenstrom won three 4A state titles last fall at the state meet and set a state record. She leaves Valor with five state championship ribbons. Kochevar won two state titles, including her third straight in the 100 backstroke. • Valor Christian won its second 4A girls state basketball title and ThunderRidge defeated a Highlands Ranch team that seemed unbeatable, 47-32 in the 5A championship game. The Falcons had overcome a 13-point halftime deficit to down the Grizzlies, 46-37, in a Continental League regular-season game, but ThunderRidge dominated the rematch to end the season. • Ponderosa freshman Cohlton Schultz completed an undefeated wrestling season with first-period pins to win the 220-pound Class 5A state championship. • Pomona’s boys won the Class 5A state track title to join the wrestling and girls gymnastics teams as state champions. • Lutheran’s boys, led by Kent Harris, captured the school’s third straight state track and field title, one in 2A and the past two in 3A. Cherry Creek’s girls tennis team made news by finishing second in the state championships at the Gates Tennis Center. It was the first time in 19 years that the Bruins were not the first-place team. Same name, different sport Valor Christian Athletic Director Jamie Heiner stood on the field after watching the Eagles play Lewis-Palmer in the Class 4A state championship soccer game and admitted it was not the kind of football he used to play.

Colorado Academy defeats Cherry Creek for girls lacrosse title
Pear Schwartz prepares to take a shot on goal for cherry creek during the May 24 state girls lacross championship game against Colorado Academy. Schwartz scored three goals for the Bruins but the Mustangs got two goals in the final minutes of the game to defend their state title with a 9-8 win. Photo by Tom Munds
By Tom Munds tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia.com The May 25 state girls lacrosse championship game lived up to its billing and became a nail-biter down the stretch as Colorado Academy defended its title by edging Cherry Creek 9-8. “This was a tough loss, a really tough loss,” Cherry Creek coach Kathryn Ames said. “Our girls fought hard against a very good Colorado Academy team. I feel some calls didn’t go our way tonight and that happens sometimes. There were a lot of whistles, and I’m not sure that is a good thing because it can take away momentum and it definitely slows down the game.” Key moments The defensive play at both ends was outstanding and both goalies made a number of athletic saves. Colorado Academy appeared to be in control early and one point in the first half led 6-2. But the Bruins, in the state championship for the 19th straight time, refused to go away. They cut the lead to 6-4 by halftime and led 8-7 with 6:40 in the contest. The Mustangs scored the final two goals of the game and, despite a series of aggressive Bruins attack, held on to claim the title. Two foul calls were costly for Cherry Creek as they resulted in goals being waved off. With less than two minutes left in the game, officials also issued two yellow cards for rough play, which sent a player from each team to the penalty box, so neither of those players was on the field when the game ended. The coach told the players to lift their
heads because they did a great job on the field in the championship game, a game she said could have gone either way. Ames said there are seven senior on the roster and they will be missed. But thanks to the depth of the program, the Bruins should remain strong. “We had about 60 girls come out for the team this season,” she said. “We have three full teams so we have great depth to draw on as we begin looking toward next season.” Key players/statistics Pear Schartz scored three goals against Colorado Academy and teammate Eliza Radochonski scored twice as five Bruins put the ball in the net in the championship game. The Bruins posted the team statistics for the season and Radochonski and Schwartz were one-two in scoring. Radochonski had 48 goals and 28 assists while Schwartz had 46 goals and 16 assists. Hope Adams scored 39 goals and Hali Sibilia scored 20 goals in the regular season and the playoffs.

They said it McGuire said when she started playing lacrosse she was playing attack and scoring goals. “Then I switched to playing goalie because I felt that making saves against shots on goals was more important than scoring goals,” she said. “Coach Ames and the other members of the coaching staff have helped me so much in the four years I have been at Cherry Creek. They helped me develop quickness, agility and, probably most importantly, my hand-eye coordination.” She said she plans to continue to be in goal when she goes to Winthrop University in South Carolina in the fall, where along with playing lacrosse, she will be majoring sports management.

NAMIWalk spotlights mental health Largest event yet held at Centennial Center Park
About 1,100 people take part in the NAMIWalk at Centennial Center Park on May 21 to raise mental health awareness. Photo courtesy of NAMIWalk
By Alex DeWind adewind@coloradocommunitymedia.com This year’s NAMIWalk — an event focused on mental health — had the largest turnout to date, with more than 1,200 walkers. “This event is a wonderful opportunity for the community to come together and support one another,” said Donna Parisi, vice president and program coordinator of NAMI of Arapahoe and Douglas counties. “There is a lot of love, laughter and smiles at these events.” NAMI — the National Alliance on Mental Illness — is an international nonprofit organization dedicated to mental health awareness through programs, classes, support groups and community events. NAMIWalks are scheduled for May, which is National Mental Health Awareness month. This year’s May 21 walk at Centennial Center Park, at East Peakview Avenue and South Uvalda Street in Centennial, was one of three in the state. Others were in Grand Junction and Pueblo. “We get people from all over the state at these walks,” said Jason Hopcus, executive director of NAMI Colorado. NAMI Colorado and volunteers host
the annual walks to raise funds and engage the community in mental health awareness. It’s a celebration of hope and recovery for those dealing with mental
illness, Parisi said. This year, positive energy radiated from the crowd, which was a mix of individuals, couples, families, children
Family Owned, Family Run
and dogs. “NAMIWalks lets the sun shine on people who are so often left in the dark corners of society,” Parisi said.
