Survey finds more frustration with traffic, government Poll of Littleton residents, businesses finds most love city

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Residents and business people in Littleton largely love the city, but are increasingly frustrated by traffic and the quality of city governance, according to a biennial survey.

Conducted by the National Research Center, a Boulder-based research company, the Littleton Resident and Business Surveys have been held every two years since 2012, and seek public feedback on aspects of city life.

The surveys are used to guide city council in budgetary processes and other decision making, said Mayor Debbie Brinkman during a discussion of the surveys at the June 12 city council study session.

“While (city) staff and departments have ideas about what programs should be priorities, so does the public,” Brinkman said. “Part of the responsibility of staff is to extract this information so we can use it effectively.”

The resident survey was sent to 3,000 residents, of whom 721 sent it back completed — roughly a quarter. The business survey was sent to all of Littleton’s 2,158 registered businesses, of which 179 — roughly 9 percent — completed it.

First, the good: Both businesses and residents overwhelmingly called Littleton a good or excellent place to live, with ratings consistently in the 90s for all years — above the national average.

Residents also adore the Littleton Museum and Bemis Library, with good or excellent ratings in the 90s for all years. Other elements of civic life, including Littleton Fire Rescue, Carson Nature Center and South Platte Park, drew high marks.

Job growth and business attrac-

tion and retention have dropped off the radar of many residents, falling far down the list of pressing issues.

Next, the bad: Traffic congestion looms large on residents’ minds, with 60 percent of residents calling traffic among the most pressing concerns facing the city, up from 29 percent in 2012.

Satisfaction with parking downtown fell from more than a third in 2012 to less than a quarter now.

Those rating Littleton’s street maintenance good or excellent fell from 66 percent in 2012 to 47 percent today.

Finally, the ugly: Resident and business satisfaction with city government is down across the board, with declining numbers in almost every area surveyed.

More than three-quarters — 78 percent — of residents surveyed in 2012 gave good or excellent marks to the quality of work provided by city employees, which is down to 69 percent now.

Those satisfied with the city’s approach to holding public meetings about city plans fell from 72 percent in 2012 to 59 percent now.

The numbers were off similarly among business owners. Satisfaction with the effectiveness of the city manager and appointed staff fell from 70 percent in 2012 to 45 percent now. Satisfaction with city leadership fell from 61 percent in 2012 to 41 percent now.

Though housing costs barely broke into the resident survey, business owners ranked housing affordability high on their list of concerns. More than half — 53 percent — of business owners surveyed cited a lack of housing that meets employees’ needs as a concern, up from only 17 percent in 2012. Concerns over excessive growth, a lack of qualified labor, and inadequate transportation infrastructure also spiked.

Both the resident and business surveys polled respondents on their willingness to back a sales and use tax hike of three-quarters of a SEE SURVEY, P5

Stone carving unleashes art teacher’s creativity Carving away I’m an art teacher by trade, and this fall I’ll be teaching at Leman Academy in Parker. Teaching allows me the flexibility to spend a lot of my summer carving and sculpting.

I started going to the Marble Carving Symposium in the town of Marble, on the Western Slope, about 10 years ago. I got hooked from there. I love being able to take a rock and turn it into what I want it to be.

Something so hard and unforgiving becomes something beautiful.

Good enough to eat Lately I love to carve sculptures of food out of stone. It began when I carved a lily flower, and I had a piece left over that sat in my living room for a year. One day I decided it looked like a slice of lemon pie, and I realized I could carve some meringue out of marble to put on top. Then I had some limestone I used to make the crust.

I got such great response to that piece, and I started seeing food in all my rocks. I had some raspberry alabaster I sliced up into bacon, for example.

I’ve done a lot of shows. My work has been displayed in the Santa Fe Arts District, Bemis Library, at the Redstone Gallery near Marble and other places.

Excellent marbling I like being able to see what’s in my mind and turn that stone into what I want. I’m working on larger pieces, too. I had a five-foot piece of marble that required taking out part of the neighbor’s fence to get it in my backyard. I had another piece that

My goal is for my art to be interesting enough to stop and examine, and to have it stick in your mind. If you remember it, I have succeeded.

Kmart site may see ‘modern’ redesign Chuze Fitness, restaurants, retail, self-storage proposed for reused building

HOW A PUD WORKS

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The downfall of Englewood’s Kmart — a hulking, 140,000-squarefoot structure that puts the “big” in big box — may give rise to what a developer described as a “modern and aesthetically appealing building” with restaurants, self-storage and a new facade.

Amid an industry-wide decline in brick-and-mortar retail, developers are taking on challenging properties like the one at 200 W. Belleview Ave. The store went out of business last fall.

“The retail apocalypse — it’s real, and it’s happening,” said Zeb Ripple, managing partner at Capital Pacific, a company involved with the proposed project at the Kmart site. Retailers “are shrinking their floor plan, they’re closing, not looking to expand.”

A hurdle in finding retailers to occupy the former Kmart building is its front-to-back depth — modern-day retailers and restaurants or coffee shops look for less space, Ripple said

A crowd of about 50 attend a neighborhood meeting June 7 that discussed the proposed development at the former Kmart site at 200 W. Belleview Ave. At back left stands Zeb Ripple, managing partner at Capital Pacific, and at back right, Jon Suddarth, vice president of real estate for The William Warren Group, who spoke at the meeting inside the former Kmart.

ELLIS ARNOLD at a neighborhood meeting June 7 that discussed the proposed development.

About 50 came to the presentation at the former Kmart.

“The trend we found, nationwide, is that self-storage facilities are moving into boxes like this,” taking the back part of the buildings, Ripple said.

Here, that could generate money that can be used to redesign the front of the building to attract other businesses, he added.

Local food, bar and coffee establishments in the metro area may be can-

didates to occupy space at the front of the building, and gym company Chuze Fitness has signed a long-term lease for its south side, Ripple said. Chuze Fitness will take up about 40,000 square feet, with plans calling for one or two retailers to take up about 30,000 square feet in the center of the building and three or four smaller restaurant or retail users covering around 2,000 square feet each, according to project developers. About 60,000 SEE KMART, P29

Planned-unit developments allow for a mix of possible types of properties that a city’s normal zoning — the regulation of what can be built where — wouldn’t allow. In Englewood, the civic-center area is a PUD, although PUDs don’t have to be that large.

The process of whether the city approves or denies an application likely takes four to six months, according to a city document.

First, a neighborhood meeting or meetings allow the developer to hear input and s questions from neighbors and introduces p the neighborhood to the development con- D cept. The second step is for the formal PUD application to be submitted to the city.

Next, the city’s Planning and Zoning Commission, an appointed group of citizens, hears input from residents in a public hearing. The commission then has the choice to recommend that city council approve the plan, deny it or approve it with conditions — suggestions of what should be changed.

Finally, citizens can comment in another public hearing before city council. Council then has two rounds of voting — or two “readings” — to decide whether to approve, approve with conditions or deny the plan.

For both public hearings, the city publishes a notice and posts at the property the hearing date.

The public can also send written comments to the City of Englewood’s Community Development Department at 1000 Englewood Parkway, Englewood, CO 80110.

Prison for man who attacked deputy with rifle Deyon Rivas-Maestas sentenced to 16 years

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A Denver man was sentenced to 16 years in prison for attacking a Douglas County Sheriff ’s Office Deputy with an unloaded AR-15 rifle in Littleton last year.

Deyon RivasMaestas, 26, pleaded Rivasguilty on Maestas Feb. 5 to first-degree assault/ threatening a peace officer with a weapon. His 16-year sentence was the maximum allowable under his plea agreement, according to a news release from the 18th Judicial District Attorney’s Office.

The incident took place beneath a bridge along County Line Road, just east of South Santa Fe Drive, at Littleton’s southern edge, on May 12, 2017.

Deputy Bradley Proulx spotted an SUV apparently disabled on the side of the road, according to a Critical Incident Team report.

A woman in the SUV, a white GMC Yukon, told Proulx that they didn’t need assistance because someone was on the way to pick them up.

Proulx told the occupants, a man and two women, that he’d stick around until their ride arrived. A person in a

Honda soon arrived and took the two women, leaving Rivas-Maestas behind the wheel of the disabled vehicle.

In a dramatic exchange captured on the deputy’s body camera and posted to YouTube, Proulx approached the car to offer to push it further off the road with his patrol vehicle.

As Proulx approached the driver’s side of the vehicle, Rivas-Maestas exited the vehicle and lunged at with George Brauchler Proulx an AR-15 District attorney rifle, barrel up, the report said.

Proulx fired a shot that hit Rivas-Maestas in the upper right arm, then another that hit the open door of the SUV. Rivas-Maestas then ran around to the front of the SUV and fell to his knees.

Investigators later found that the rifle was unloaded and had a cable lock on the trigger. Proulx was not injured.

“This case was outrageous,” said District Attorney George Brauchler.

“We are lucky neither the public nor the deputy was injured. Given the quick reaction of the well-trained deputy, Rivas-Maestas is lucky he isn’t dead. The message is clear: Attack one of our guardians, and the best for which you can hope is to go to prison.”

From feeling powerless to finding his passion.

“This case was outrageous. We are lucky neither the public nor the deputy was injured.”

SURVEY FROM PAGE 2

penny on every dollar spent in the city. The survey found increasing support from when the question was first asked in 2016, with 70 percent of business owners and 70 percent of residents either somewhat or strongly supporting the idea.

Discussion of the survey was brief at the June 12 study session.

“These surveys can link up with your goals and in creating performance standards,” City Manager Mark Relph told council. “In the short term we’re seeing a lot of questions raised about how we’re dealing with traffic congestion. We need to work to

get the word out about the measures we’re taking.”

The surveys made clear that traffic congestion needs to figure largely into city decision making, said councilmember Karina Elrod.

“The whole discussion of traffic and infrastructure — that’s not a can we can kick down the road,” Elrod said.

“Luckily we’re taking some action in our capital fund to help us begin to address that.”

The surveys have effectively guided the city in years past, said city spokeswoman Kelli Narde, citing a boost to street repair funding and an increase in the frequency in the publication of the city’s Littleton Report newsletter.

“Hopefully we’ll do the same thing this time, and use this during our budget discussions,” Narde said.

When I lost both of my paternal grandparents to strokes just weeks apart, I felt so powerless. That’s when I decided to go back to school and specialize in stroke care. I knew I had to try and help my patients — and their families — to bring them comfort and answers in their biggest time of need.

Road-rage shooting points to worsening situation

BY NICK PUCKETT NPUCKETT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

While Parker police continue searching for the man who shot and wounded another man in a suspected road-rage incident May 23, the issue of aggressive driving in the metro area has resurfaced in a slew of growing traffic-related problems.

The shooting was an extreme end to the fairly common and broad issue of aggressive driving, which leads to road rage. A 2016 study by AAA reported nearly 80 percent of drivers admitted to some form of aggressive driving.

The Colorado State Patrol receives calls on aggressive driving behavior, which can range from speeding to tailgating to drunk driving, through its *CSP (*277) calling service. The system started in 1998 as a way for drivers to report on real-time aggressive driving behavior.

The *CSP system received 87,268 reports on aggressive drivers in 2017, up 4 percent from 2016 and 34 percent from 2014.

That rise can be attributed to a number of factors, traffic volume

HOW TO DEAL WITH ROAD RAGE DMV.org defines road rage, and offers tips on how to deal with it and prevent it: What is road rage?

Road rage is anything that comes from an aggressive driver’s uncontrolled anger at another driver. It can be as simple as a hand gesture or as severe as a person hitting another car or running another car off the road, engaging in a confrontation, inciting a fight or using any sort of weapon to cause harm.

To prevent road rage

“Slow down, take the next turn and separate yourself,” Madden said.

Find ways to calm yourself down, whether that be with soothing music, changing your mentality, separating yourself from other drivers or avoiding eye contact or gestures to other drivers.

The most dangerous road-rage incidents happen when neither person is willing to back down. That’s when accidents happen and people get hurt, Baron said.

“Another way to think about it is, you have to encounter that person for a brief period of time. That person has to continue being that person for the rest of their lives,” safe driving expert Ben Baron said.

DMV.org says to take deep breaths and remember you have full control over your own actions and thoughts.

Aggressive driving can be defined as a series of illegal driving maneuvers, stemming from the person’s emotional distress. This includes tailgating, cutting off another driver, not using turn signals, speeding, honking, flashing headlights or brake checking. Any of these can escalate into road rage.

Defusing road rage

There’s no overall statute against road rage, but a driver can be charged with a criminal offense for actions connected to road rage, according to DMV.org. A driver could face legal fees or even jail for certain offenses.

Also, physical damage to drivers’ cars and to themselves, even death, can result from road rage.

being one of them. Rob Madden, public information officer for the state patrol, said people calling into the CSP hotline combined with a number of forwarded reports from outside law enforcement agencies have also contributed to the increase.

The growing population and number of out-of-staters in the Denver metro area has had a noticeable effect on traffic volume, according to safe driving expert Ben Baron. And with more drivers, he said, comes more ag-

gressive driving.

“Everything that has happened in the last 10 years has contributed to the likelihood of more incidences,” said Baron, owner and founder of Drive Safe Colorado, the state’s largest driving school. “More traffic certainly leads to going more slowly, which doesn’t necessarily have an impact one way or another, but if you’re in a hurry and can’t get where you’re going, that’s going to increase your stress and that’s going to contribute to

Consequences

Waiving or mouthing “I’m sorry” can help ease an aggressive driver’s anger. The main thing to do, according to Rob Madden, public information officer for the Colorado State Patrol, and Baron, is to move as far away as possible from this driver.

your driving.”

Though the number the number of cars on the road does contribute to higher numbers of aggressive driving, Baron said it may not necessarily be the primary factor.

Baron said aggressive driving can often be attributed to new and old Colorado residents misunderstanding the cultural norms and different driving laws. A 2014 study from AutoVantage, SEE ROAD RAGE, P29

Fires that destroyed Littleton homes started with oily rags in sun STAFF REPORT

The fires that destroyed two houses and partially burned another in southwest Littleton on June 8 were started when oily rags on a deck spontaneously combusted in afternoon heat, Littleton Fire Rescue investigators said.

The fires started at a house on South Bemis

Circle, beside Writer’s Vista Park just south of West Mineral Avenue, at about 4:30 p.m. according to a news release. Responding firefighters found a second nearby home in flames as well, with a third on South Bemis Street set aflame by falling embers soon after.

Two firefighters were transported to the hospital after suffering heat exhaustion, the release said.

The first two houses were ruled a complete loss.

Damage to the third house was isolated to the shake shingle roof.

The fire began when rags used to stain a deck were left out in the sun and spontaneously combusted, investigators said.

The high temperature on June 9 was a recordbreaking 93 degrees.

he infectious enthusiasm of little kids lent a giddiness to Littleton’s annual Fire Truck Parade and Muster, where kindgergartners hopped and squealed as some of the region’s coolest firefighting rigs rolled past on June 16.

The gleeful gallivanting continued at Arapahoe Community College, where kids sprinted between trucks, taking turns sitting behind the wheel of trucks as old as a 1914 Federal truck that was once the showpiece of early Littleton’s volunteer department to colossal high-tech ladder trucks.

A chance to try out firehoses, a Jaws of Life demonstration and a landing by an air ambulance helicopter thrilled the younger set. Firefighters in attendance seemed proud to share their profession and passion with the public.

“I love the traditions we’re carrying on here,” said Littleton Fire Rescue Lt. John Aylward as he helped kids on and off the 1914 truck. “You’ve got more than a century’s worth of history in this parking lot. I’m a firefighter, so I always enjoy the chance to connect people with firefighting.”

Charter schools vie for bigger share of mill levy pie Littleton Public Schools board seeks to retain funds for special needs students

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Littleton Public Schools’ Board of Education threw support behind a plan that would increase the amount of mill levy override funding they share with Littleton’s charter schools, while retaining funding for students with special needs. But charter parents and officials say the plan falls far short of the spirit and intent of a new law that would allow public and charter schools to distribute the money evenly among students.

Parents and administrators from Littleton Academy and Littleton Preparatory Charter School — Littleton’s two charter schools — turned out at the LPS board’s June 15 meeting to make their case for why mill levy override funds should be disbursed equally on a per-pupil basis between all of Littleton’s students, both public and charter.

LPS officials, though, said they are tasked with supporting numerous programs that charters aren’t, including special education and at-risk student programs, and that equal distribution of the override funds overlooks disparities in how much it costs to educate students with different needs.

At issue are $26.5 million in annual funds obtained through mill levy overrides. The current negotiated contract between the district and the charter schools has the charters receiving a total of $737,508 per year, divided roughly in half between Littleton Academy and Littleton Prep, according to a presentation by Littleton Schools’ assistant superintendent Diane Doney.

That tally is arrived at by taking about 40-45 percent of the override funds and distributing them equally on a per-pupil basis between all LPS schools and the charters, said Littleton Public Schools superintendent

Littleton Public Schools finance director Donna Villamor, left, and assistant superintendent Diane Doney listen to feedback from the Board of Education on their proposal to earmark almost half of the district’s mill levy override funds for special education. The rest would by divvied up equally between all schools in the district, including two charter schools.

DAVID GILBERT Brian Ewert.

A law signed into effect last year, however, says that 95 percent of mill levy override funds should be distributed equally between public and charter schools in a district. The law, called HB 1375, also allows districts to earmark portions of mill levy override funds for programs that support underserved populations.

HB 1375 gives districts until July 1, 2018 to decide how they’ll distribute the money for the 2019-2020 school year.

The plan proposed by Doney and LPS director of finance Donna Villamor sets aside $12.4 million of the $26.5 million annual funds for funding special education. The remaining $14.1 million would then be divvied up equally between all students in the district — about 14,000 students in Littleton Public Schools, and 1,000 in the two charter schools — for a final tally of about $740 per student.

The plan would boost the total the charters receive from $737,508 per year to $940,832, an increase of $203,324. If LPS were to equally distribute 95 percent of the money, the charter schools

would receive about $1.6 million a year.

The LPS plan came across as negligent to the charter schools, said Shelly Russell, the principal of Littleton Academy.

“HB 1375 passed so that charters wouldn’t have to beg their authorizers annually for their fair share of funding,” Russell said. “We’re people who come to the table with less, with which we continue to try to do more.”

Numerous parents of charter students spoke at the meeting, citing improvements in their children’s educational results after switching to charter schools.

LPS would be making a mistake in allocating mill levy override funds for special needs students because that intended use was not spelled out in the ballot measure that authorized the overrides, said Dan Schaller, the director of governmental affairs for the nonprofit League of Charter Schools.

“You cannot suddenly make up new purposes for the revenue out of whole cloth,” Schaller said. “You’ve maintained good relationships with your charter schools over the years, and it

would be unfortunate to see those relationships deteriorate over the adoption of a policy geared toward trying to deprive your charter schools and their students of some much-needed equalization support.”

Doney said that Littleton’s special needs program is hurting for funds, as state support for K-12 education eroded during the Great Recession, with a lasting “negative factor” that shorts LPS by $17 million a year. Meanwhile, she said, the district’s special needs program costs $20 million a year — up $6 million a year since 2010.

LPS board members said that while the proposed distribution model isn’t totally equitable, it is fair.

“Equality says I have a stack of money and I’m going to deal it out evenly until it’s gone,” said board member Jim Stephens. “Equity says I’ve got kids with different needs. I’m not going to spend the same on each kid.”

Beyond special needs students, the charter schools have far fewer students on individualized education plans or learning English as a second language, Stephens said.

The district’s plan is in keeping with the provisions spelled out in the law, said board member Jack Reutzel.

“I believe the act gives us a bright line to do what we’re contemplating doing,” Reutzel said. “I think this statute is replete with references to equitable funding. (Divvying up the money at) 95 percent is more equal but it’s not more equitable. It doesn’t differentiate the types of students we teach. If we believe that all kids are our kids and all means all, it’s clear to me that some kids cost more.”

Ewert said that in a perfect world, there would be enough money to equally distribute to all schools in the state.

“The challenge here is that I completely agree charter schools are inadequately funded,” Ewert said. “So is every single school district in the state of Colorado.”

The Littleton Public Schools Board of Education will vote on whether to approve the plan at their June 28 meeting.

Man dragged by bus in Littleton crawled underneath, police say Motive unknown, no charges filed against driver

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A man who died after being dragged by an RTD bus near downtown Littleton on June 7 crawled under the bus deliberately, Littleton police said. No charges will be filed against the bus driver.

Patrick Tshudy, 31, of

Greenwood Village, was dragged roughly six blocks by the bus, from the crosswalk on the north end of the Littleton Downtown Light Rail Station to the intersection of West Littleton Boulevard and South Windermere Avenue just after 3 p.m. on June 7, said Littleton Police Department spokesman Rick Redmond.

The bus stopped after a car following behind the bus saw a body emerge from beneath it, after which the driver of the car swerved around the bus and stopped in front of it to alert the driver, Redmond

said.

Witness interviews and security footage show that Tshudy intentionally crawled under the bus while it was stopped, Cmdr. Trent Cooper, of the Littleton Police Department, said at a press conference on June 12.

“His motives for doing so are unknown,” Cooper said.

“There’s some speculation that he had mental health issues that drove him to do that.

Whether it was a deliberate suicide, we may never know.

The only person who knows that is him.”

Bus drivers follow a protocol to check their surroundings before starting from a stop, Cooper said, “but there’s no way for them to check the undercarriage.”

Cooper said it’s unknown whether Tshudy was under the influence of drugs or alcohol at the time. An autopsy report will take 8-10 weeks to prepare, said Arapahoe County Coroner’s Office spokeswoman Lisa Avendano.

The bus was traveling RTD’s route 66, which starts at Arapahoe Community College and largely follows Arapahoe

Road to its intersection with South Parker Road.

Roughly 15 passengers were on the bus at the time, Redmond said. Eastbound Alamo Avenue and Littleton Boulevard was closed for several hours on June 7.

RTD is reviewing the incident, said RTD spokesman Scott Reed.

“This was a very tragic accident,” Reed said. “Our hearts go out to the families and friends of the individual who was killed, as well as the bus operator, who was traumatized by this.”

Colorado Heights gets new potential buyer After previous deal’s collapse, Glendale developer hopes for ‘urban, mixed-use village’

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The storied history of the former Colorado Heights University campus has caught a lifeline again after a local developer struck a deal to purchase the property, an iconic site perched atop southwest Denver.

Westside Investment Partners, a Glendale-based real estate and development group, is expected to buy the property, a 70-acre campus at 3001 S. Federal Blvd. that was once a Catholic college. First named Loretto Heights Academy, it grew out of an effort by the Sisters of Loretto dating back to the late 1800s. It’s visible for miles around in the south Denver metro area, and its reddish-brown administration building with a tower is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

California-based Catellus Development Corporation was expected to purchase the property, but the campus’s owner rejected the final financial offer earlier this year and decided against the sale. Westside went under

“We’re planning an urban mixed-use village respectful of the neighboring communities,” Klein said. “We’re certainly not planning on putting huge buildings next to homes. All the commercial (use) will be along Federal

(Boulevard) and will hopefully be a mixture of neighborhood-serving and regional-draw uses.”

Still affectionately known to locals as Loretto Heights, the property was the subject of several community meetings in 2017 and this April, where community members discussed its future. Area residents have expressed concern about preserving the administration building and the campus’s cemetery, where dozens of dead nuns lie, according to Kevin Flynn, Denver city councilmember representing the area.

Flynn met with Klein and and Kevin Smith, another principal in the company, on June 13, Flynn said.

“They are, of course, committed to preservation of the Loretto Academy (now administration) building and adjoining chapel, and of the nuns’ cemetery,” Flynn said. “They also indicated they will explore preservation of other buildings on the campus.”

Westside aims to be the master developer for the campus, which is owned by the Japan-based Teikyo University Group. As the master developer, Westside will sell parcels of land to builders.

The company is planning a develop-

ment with high-density residential — apartments and single-family housing — and commercial elements. It plans to request from the City of Denver a rezoning, a change of the type of uses allowed on the property. Zoning regulations already permit multi-unit housing and attached single-family homes, Klein said. Some limited commercial uses are currently allowed as well.

Local establishments, like a pizza restaurant, along with restaurants that may attract faraway customers could be part of the equation, Klein said.

“There’s beautiful trees there you hope to preserve” and “create a place people want to come to,” he added.

The university’s team worked to identify developers who were committed to “engaging the community while also protecting the heritage of the campus,” said Fred Van Liew, president of Colorado Heights University, in the news release.

“Councilman Flynn has engaged neighbors for six months, seeking feedback about initial developmentplanning concepts,” Liew said in the release.

The public input gathered in recent outreach meetings that Flynn organized set community expectations that the new owner will respect the site’s history, Flynn said in the release.

“My initial meeting with the Westside team tells me that they get it,” Flynn said in the release. “They’re local, and they know the site, so I’m looking forward to introducing them to my community stakeholders and neighborhoods.”

Catellus held meetings this year in January and February with the community — more than 130 attended the latter — that Flynn was involved in. Jim Gibson, a leader who has organized community meetings about the campus, said he and Klein plan to meet.

Westside has invested in and developed large projects along the Front Range, including High Point, a 1,200-acre community adjacent to the upcoming Gaylord Rockies Resort and Convention Center in far northeast Aurora; Victory Ridge, north of Colorado Springs; and Elevate, a 20-story office building in Glendale, according to the release.

Originally founded by the Sisters of Loretto, Loretto Heights Academy opened in 1891 after their original building in downtown Denver — the Catholic girls’ school St. Mary’s Academy of the Loretto Order, which opened about 1864 — grew to take up nearly the whole block by 1880, a 1985 school-newspaper article said.

In 1948, the southwest Denver facility became Loretto Heights College, solely a four-year Catholic college for women, and later admitted male students. It closed in 1988, and three of its academic programs moved to what was then called Regis College, according to a Regis article.

Teikyo Loretto Heights University opened on the campus in 1989 and focused on international students. The Japan-based

Teikyo University Group opened Colorado Heights University, a private, not-forprofit institution, in 2009.

Colorado Heights University announced its decision to close in November 2016 due to an insufficient student population. Also a factor were problems the United States Department of Education found with the agency that accredited its programs.

All students of the university either completed their programs of study or successfully transferred to other educational institutions, primarily in the Denver metro area, a statement by Catellus Development Corporation said. About 500 students were enrolled in the university around the time it announced its closing.

Coffman touts homeless veterans’ children bill Proposal aims to close ‘gap’ in services for homeless veterans’ children

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Behind the challenges homeless veterans face stands a less visible problem: the children experiencing homelessness with them.

“The truth is, if we’re not taking care of their families, we’re not taking care of them,” said U.S. Rep. Mike Coffman, R-Aurora, at a gathering on housing issues at the Aurora City Council chambers.

Coffman discussed his proposed legislation, the Homeless Veteran Families Act, at the June 11 Innovative Housing Symposium organized

by Mile High Behavioral Healthcare.

The bill, H.R. 4099, seeks to provide assistance to veterans’ children — currently, services for those children aren’t funded by a veterans-assistance program.

“Vets have a choice between accessing services and staying with their children,” Coffman said.

The United States Department of Veterans Affairs, referred to as the VA, provides funding to community agencies that help homeless veterans, but the VA can’t provide money to cover costs of services for child dependents of homeless veterans. That leaves some homeless shelters giving preference to non-veteran homeless families because they can get funding to cover their children under federal rules, according to a news release by Coffman’s office.

That “horrible gap” in support for children of veterans, Coffman said,

could be remedied by the bill, which has about 180 cosponsors, or supporters, in Congress, according to Coffman.

The proposal would allow the VA to reimburse service providers under its Homeless Providers Grant and Per Diem program at a 50 percent rate for the costs of housing minor dependents of homeless veterans while the veterans receive services, according to the release.

“The pushback we’re getting is the cost,” but lawmakers may try to find a way to offset it in the VA budget, Coffman said. “I think the VA is very topheavy in terms of the bureaucracy.”

The bill has support from several veterans’ organizations, including the National Coalition for Homeless Veterans, The American Legion, the Wounded Warrior Project, Disabled American Veterans, Paralyzed Veterans of America, Got Your 6, Veterans

of Foreign Wars (VFW), Military Order of the Purple Heart and American Veterans (AMVETS), according to the release.

“The best way we can thank our veterans is by supporting them and helping them to support their greatest treasure, their immediate family members,” said James Gillespie, who represents the Comitis Crisis Center, a shelter in Aurora, according to the release.

Coffman and Julia Brownley, DCalifornia, introduced the bill Oct. 24 in the House of Representatives. It has not moved forward in the legislative process, according to GovTrack, an organization that follows bills through Congress.

Coffman represents the 6th Congressional District, which includes Aurora, Centennial, Littleton, Highlands Ranch and part of Adams County, among other areas.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Vote Polis for governor In the 19 years since the shooting at Columbine High school, there have been no meaningful pieces of federal gun legislation. I should know, I am a Columbine survivor.

When I graduated, I watched the gun-control debate rage, but I believed that I could help make a change that would ensure that we would be the last group of students to have our sense of safety shattered.

As I watched gun violence escalate hope turned to cynicism, until I attended the March for our Lives

Rally in Denver.

At the rally, I saw Denver’s Civic Center Park overfilled with my fellow Coloradans demanding change so that their children don’t have live in fear of a shooting at their school and doing what we do best: coming together to make our voices heard. Seeing this caused me to recapture optimism for our future.

This movement needed a leader capable of delivering the change that so many people in our great state crave and I believe that the leader we need is Jared Polis. This

is why I’m supporting him in his bid to be the next governor of Colorado.

I have followed Jared’s career closely and I know that he’s a rarity because he has what so many of our elected representatives sorely lack: political courage.

That political courage has pushed Jared to focus on and fight for what is best for the people of Colorado. I hope you join me in supporting Jared Polis for governor.

How to make financial plans for second half of 2018 FINANCIAL STRATEGIES

Patricia Kummer

N

o amount of bad news would upset the market in 2017. Even January 2018 appeared to be on a track to the moon, and then the long-awaited correction hits. This took the equities market down a few notches in February and March, only to remain range bound the last few months.

The concern is we won’t break out of this narrow trading channel investors now live in, back and forth over the same territory.

However, we did see the predictions outlined in December at the economic workshop mostly come to fruition. Now it is time

A publication of

to review and think about the second half of the year, and what to expect.

Six months ago, we thought the market was vulnerable to a near-term correction, that tax reform would pass and that yields would creep higher. Also, we were on the lookout for corporate earnings to fuel a higher market. All of these things did come to pass. So, what caused renewed volatility even though we are in a similar economic backdrop?

The customer is not always right, but still is always the customer

T

here is a very common saying in business, “The customer is always right.” It may be very common, but it is not always true. What is true is this, “The customer is not always right, but the customer is still the customer.”

And that means that the customer should be treated with appreciation and respect. The other side of this is that the customer should also value WINNING and treat the representaWORDS tives of the company with the same appreciation and respect.

I find myself writing this column after witnessing what I would call outright disrespect by several “customers” over the past couple of weeks as they interacted with cashiers, sales people, Michael Norton and customer service representatives.

I mean it was just rude and one interaction was even crude.

Have we become so entitled that we feel it is appropriate and acceptable to berate or minimize people who are trying to help us?

Demeaning someone through verbal assaults, elevating tonality, and even using body language as a weapon should have no place in our world.

What I witnessed left me feeling embarrassed for the so-called “customer” and I felt horrible for the person on the receiving end.

I wish I could say that what I witnessed could be attributed to immaturity, although immaturity was a big part of it, but what I witnessed was from people whom I would guess were well into their adult lives.

And two of them were business executives who were taking out their frustrations on a person in their teens and maybe their early 20s.

And what they were angry about seemed so trivial and yet there they stood coming down on these poor company representatives who were really just trying to help.

As I stood in line behind one these business professional “customers” shouting like a spoiled child, I couldn’t stand it any longer.

How do we decide which candidate to vote for?

t’s primary season in Colorado.

So glad I never had one of those!

June marks the end of my second quarter in seminary, a place I never thought I’d be, and yet also marks a gubernatorial contest, where I actually GUEST thought I might be COLUMN someday. It definitely shows how you never know where God is going to put you.

I’ve been asked by some how I’ll be voting in the primary.

Although I won’t say exactly for whom I’m voting, I can share Linda Newell the thought process I’ve been going through, if that helps.

First, I have been in Colorado since 1992 and have never seen this many candidates for governor on both sides. While it might seem wonderful to know that we have so much talent from which to draw, it can also be overwhelming to try to

KUMMER FROM PAGE 12

We would need to go all the way back to 1960 to see the low volatility we had during 2017. It appears that volatility is normalizing.

This means the normal gyrations of a typical market are returning, poised to take direction from every news tidbit. This sensitivity is actually common in a late-stage recovery.

If you figure our recovery from the Great Recession began back in 2009, this could definitely be considered the latter stage.

Interest rates and valuations are also adjusting. Corporate earnings continue to be strong, but the stock market seems to be ignoring this as “old” news.

Valuations are becoming more reasonable after some recent pull-backs in the equities market and we have been moving sideways since. Valuations are back to where they were in 2007 and 2008 but interest rates were a lot higher then, so we could support even higher stock prices here.

This may suggest that equity returns will be lower than they have historically been, which is also common in late-stage cycles. This does not necessarily mean that bonds would perform any better, since we are in a rising interest rate environment which puts downward pressure on bond prices.

In the next six months the Fed will likely continue with a gradual pace of interest-rate hikes.

The economic growth along with this slow, measured stance from the Fed puts us at a low risk for a nearterm recession.

The current correction phase is likely to linger; yields could go higher but they are starting to stabilize. Due to the supply of the Fed rolling off bonds from their balance sheet, yields

determine which one we want to hang our Rockies hat on.

Full disclosure, I am specifically referring to the Democratic candidates, as that is how I’m registered. But hopefully, my thought process might help voters from all (or no) parties.

It’s especially difficult for me this time because I personally know all of the candidates.

How do I ethically and objectively go about deciding which of my friends to support? As a woman, some might think I could choose solely based on gender. I’d love to finally see a woman governor in our state. We were the first official state in the nation to allow women to vote yet have never had one in the top seat.

Isn’t it about time to have a woman’s perspective influencing our policies and demonstrating new leadership?

And we have two, not one, intelligent and proficient women candidates from which to choose.

Or I could choose based on relationship. My closest relationship is with someone with whom I worked in the

state Senate for seven years.

I saw his brilliance in his thought processes, compassion and eloquence in his floor speeches, and politically, his community organizing magic.

Or I could go with the person who could be our first openly gay governor, bringing in the embodiment of inclusion for our LGBTQ folks in the state.

Should I go with which political groups have endorsed whom? Well, that’s a no because I support all the groups that have endorsed different candidates. Ugh! Now, through a lens from my ethics and social justice courses, I know I need to focus on the ethics of the person and the ethos of their background.

Based on their “social location” (yes, Google that) and their life experience, could they truly understand my priorities?

Will they be able to represent my

values? Can I trust them to be honest and transparent?

I do feel lucky to know all the candidates and to personally know what a governor does and doesn’t do.

As for you, you’ll need to do your own research, but hopefully this helps a bit along the way.

I will say that this is a critical role in our government and merits our thoughtful discernment. Thanks in advance for voting and making your voice heard!

have been kept relatively low.

Higher market volatility, or back to normal is still favorable for equities.

These market fluctuations could be caused by growing concerns about inflation and there could be earnings disappointments, especially since the pace of earnings growth has been so significant, it may be hard to beat.

Political uncertainty is a concern, both at home (tariffs) and abroad (Italy) and geopolitics including North Korea, the Middle East and Russia.

Rising budget deficits and debt could put a damper on future growth as well.

Investors need to be nimble in this environment.

Heading into the summer months when markets are sleepy and just ahead of a mid-term election will likely continue to bring market fluctuations. This does not mean investing is not good, just tempered compared to last year.

It is important to be aware of your goals and align your strategy to current opportunities.

This is a good time to revisit your financial plan and make sure your investments are positioned for this late-stage recovery.

ome of the most atmospheric stories ever told fall into the Gothic genre. Tales overflowing with darkness and character explorations that thrive on the eerie and supernatural.

These stories had their heyday in the 19th COMING century, but their influATTRACTIONS ence continues to be felt in a variety of mediums. That includes Jacqueline Goldfinger’s “The Arsonists.”

Directed by Stephen Weitz of Boulder Ensemble Theater Company, “The Arsonists” has been selected as the second show Clarke Reader in Lakewood-based Benchmark Theatre Company’s inaugural season. The show runs from Friday, June 22, through July 21. Performances are at 8 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays and 6 p.m. Sundays at 1560 Teller St. “This show is a blend of Southern Gothic with Greek tragedy,” Weitz explained.

“But in many ways, it is a very honest and recognizable story about families and leaving our parents’ shadow.”

Set in a Florida swamp, the show tells a story of a father and daughter who are united by the act of arson. But, as the show is inspired by the Greek masterwork “Electra,” the story delves into human relationships and grief.

The cast features Michael Morgan and newcomer Rebakah Goldberg.

Like all true Gothic stories, there’s a touch of the inexplicable to “The Arsonists,” but far from taking away from the struggles of the characters, it aims to heighten them.

“The focus on the idea and meaning of family is a staple of theatrical drama,” Weitz said. “So many of us have relationships with our parents that have unexplored depths. That’s what the show allows the characters to explore.”

Creative Coloradans get their due in book awards Two ceremonies honor authors, editors, illustrators, photographers

BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Writers of mystery, history, poetry, fine arts accounts, fiction and creative non-fiction, as well as works intended for tots and teens, abound in our lsupportive-of-the-arts Colorado. And we read that nationwide, bookstores, publishers and libraries are growing and busy — wonderful news to this former bookseller!

In Colorado, awards to writers were recently announced by two important organizations: Colorado Authors’ League, founded in 1931 with the melding of a men’s group and a women’s

group, and Colorado Humanities/ Center for the Book, celebrating the 14th year of collaboration in supporting the humanities in Colorado, both of which hold annual competitions for writers. (Information on eligibility can be found on the websites for future reference — coloradoauthors.org and coloradohumanities.org.) Both organizations sponsored a number of public readings at area bookstores prior to the award ceremonies: look for them next year at the Tattered Cover and Book Bar shops, as well as at literary festivals in the metro area.

On May 4, at a membership dinner/ ceremony at the Arvada Center, the Colorado Authors’ League recognized the late Littleton children’s author Caroline Stutson for her delightful picture book, “Blue Corn Soup.”

Cherry Creek Arts Festival returns for three-day run Event will host 265 artists at shopping center, with large variety of works

BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The annual Cherry Creek Arts Festival has been growing and changing since 1991 at Cherry Creek Shopping Center, where it will fill the area on July 6, 7 and 8. The festival offers an all-day experience for a varied audience!

For the serious collector, there may be a really special piece that fits into a particular area of interest — or a new work by an artist one has collected in the past. Juried artists, numbering 265, will set up booths with a huge variety of techniques, media, styles and price ranges. (About 2,100 artists from across

the nation applied for those 265 spots.

Very few go to local artists.)

Those who come from national and international locations will perhaps offer a new experience for even the most savvy shopper. New exhibitors (62) include both renowned and emerging artists. Thirteen different media categories are included in the exhibits.

For families with creative kids, there is Artivity Avenue on Steele Street between First and Second avenues. An Imagination Collaboration Mural will appeal to some children, while younger folks will be drawn to the Creation Station, one of the most popular spots at the festival, with diverse activities for hands-on art that one may take along home. (And, there’s a diaper-changing station for the littlest folks who may need that sort of help.)

Centennial Airport administration building to have community focus ‘The Hangar’ is planned to be gathering place, event venue

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Centennial Airport plans to construct a new administration building that will double as a community center for tenants and students, and as a place for events.

The facility is expected to be complete in early 2020 and will sit in the northwest corner of the airport’s main parking lot on South Peoria Street, according to a news release by the airport.

The new building will feature a work environment designed to promote creativity and collaboration, the release said, and will include some retail space, an outdoor community plaza and meeting space for up to 200 people.

“This new facility is an investment not only in the airport, but in our tenants, employees and the surrounding communities,” said Michael Fronapfel, director of planning for the airport, in the release. “For aviation students, it’s an investment in the next generation of aviators.”

“The Hangar,” which will feature approximately 20,000 square feet of space, will be funded by the airport

The airport’s director, Robert Olislagers, announced the new building May 25 at a 50th anniversary event for the airport that was headlined by Capt. Chesley “Sully” Sullenberger at the Denver Marriott Tech Center at 4900 S. Syracuse St. in Denver. It will

feature events like open houses with flight schools, Olislagers said.

Centennial Airport is a generalaviation airport, which means it features flight training and medical evacuation, corporate charter, small cargo and recreational flights, among other uses — but commercial-airline flights, like those on United or Southwest airlines, for example, are not part of the mix.

It opened May 12, 1968, as Arapahoe County Airport and is owned and operated by the Arapahoe County Public Airport Authority, a governmental

body. It is not located in the city of Centennial, which was formed long after the airport in 2001 — the airport changed its name to “Centennial” in 1984.

The airport sits at 7800 S. Peoria St., just south of East Arapahoe Road and southeast of the Topgolf entertainment complex, near the middle of Centennial.

It sits mostly in unincorporated Arapahoe County but extends south into Douglas County, and it’s one of the busiest general-aviation airports in the country.

medium, but enormous works can also be found on buildings on downtown Denver’s buildings.

“I enjoy doing these kinds of works because they’re free to the viewer,” said muralist Patrick Kane McGregor, whose dog has become a staple of murals around Denver. He’s contributed dozens of works around the metro area. “It’s a way to share beauty with people every day.”

One person who has paid special attention to this beauty popping up all over town is Cori Anderson, who founded Rebel Tours, which takes travelers on a guided trip to see some of the city’s best street art. Tourists can pick one of three options — Santa Fe, RiNo, or downtown Denver, and she’ll not only point out some of the best works but get into the story behind them.

“People take these works for granted and often don’t think about the fact that an artist or group of artists created them,” Anderson said. “People like these tours, not because they can see the art, but because they get the stories and have their questions answered.”

As a lifelong lover of wandering the streets in whatever city she found herself in, Anderson has dedicated herself to sharing her knowledge about Denver’s street art scene. She is a regular writer for 303 Magazine, and also founded the Denver Street Art Network to grow and connect the burgeoning community.

“I’ve always loved street art as a kind of creative expression that exists despite limitations,” Anderson said. “I think the spirit behind it is so rebellious and so kind.”

There are also street art festivals in the region, which allow people to see murals being created in real time.

RiNo hosts CRUSH, which invites artists to come and create works on the block. And Lakewood’s West Colfax

Clarke’s Concert of the Week — Dua Lipa at Fillmore Auditorium There’s a lot of great pop music being made right now, and the vast bulk of it proves that women are the unquestioned lords and masters of the genre.

A mural created by Bimmer Torres on Santa Fe Drive.

CORI ANDERSON MuralFest has become the annual highlight of its 40 West Arts district’s creative year.

Murals have become such an exciting form that the Arvada Center’s summer exhibit is bringing the works indoors for its “In Sight on Site” exhibit. Participating artists were given blank panels hung in the Center’s three galleries and given free rein to create a mural.

“I enjoy working outside, but it’s an interesting challenge working on something indoors,” said Thomas Scharfenberg, a muralist who is joining Parsons, McGregor and about 18 other artists in the exhibit. “I think of the pieces as food, and each one is a different flavor for the viewer.”

The best street art is a gift for all members of a community, and telling those stories to larger and more diverse communities is just one of the reasons it is still a vital art form.

“People might only see it for a few seconds every day, but that repeated quality helps the work stick in your mind,” Parsons said. “In a way, seeing street art is like going to a music festival where every stage is playing something different. There’s all kinds of shows to see.”

Between Taylor Swift, Carly Rae Jepsen and Camila Cabello, women are running the game. Add into that max of top-tier talent Dua Lipa, whose debut album was one of the best pop releases of 2017.

The British Dua Lipa will be stopping by the Fillmore Auditorium, 1510 N. Clarkson St., at 8 p.m. on Tuesday, June 26. See her before she becomes the next big star.

Oil, gas group warns drilling bans could cost taxpayers Several measures have been proposed for the November ballot

BY DAN ELLIOTT ASSOCIATED PRESS

An oil and gas advocacy group said that Colorado has billions of dollars’ worth of petroleum still in the ground and warned that taxpayers could face huge compensation claims if voters ban drilling.

At least five oil and gas measures have been proposed for the statewide ballot this fall, although none appears to impose an outright drilling ban.

The admonition from the Colorado Alliance of Mineral and Royalty Owners was a salvo in Colorado’s latest skirmish over who should regulate the oil and gas industry, and how much.

Technological advances including hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, and directional drilling spurred an oil and gas boom in Colorado, but they also roused strong vocal opposition because many drilling rigs and wells have been placed near schools and houses.

The debate is especially intense in the urban Front Range corridor north of Denver, where state’s largest oilfield, the Wattenberg, overlaps fast-growing communities.

The mineral and royalty owners group said the Wattenberg field has about $180 billion in untapped petroleum, and royalties for the owners of the mineral rights are worth $26 billion. The figures came from a study

by Netherland, Sewell & Associates, a Texas consulting firm that analyzes petroleum assets.

If new rules keep the petroleum in the ground, the owners of the mineral rights could file compensation claims

against state and local governments, the group said. Government tax revenue would also suffer, the group said.

“Not only do these estimates represent a staggering value that could be taken without compensation from mineral owners by proposed ballot initiatives, but they represent funds taken from tax coffers that fund schools, roads and other community services that we all value,” Neil Ray said, president of the royalty owners group.

Assessing the threat of the ballot proposals to oil and gas production is difficult. One proposal would change state law to increase the minimum distance between new wells and occupied buildings to 2,500 feet, from the current 500 feet. That would restrict the location of new wells, but not ban them.

The primary backers of the measure, Colorado Rising, said the royalty owners were using scare tactics.

The group called the longer setback a common-sense buffer between industrial oil and gas operations and schools, homes and water sources.

“Keeping wells out of neighborhoods may cost the industry more, but it is clearly the right thing to do in order to protect Colorado families from deadly explosions and toxic emissions,” the group said in a written statement.

Four other proposals would change the state constitution to recognize the limited powers that local governments currently have to regulate the industry.

The proposals would not provide any new regulatory powers, only put the existing ones into the constitution, according to summaries written by the Colorado Legislative Council.

Colorado lawmakers and courts have given almost all the power to regulate oil and gas to the state, rather than local governments.

Supporters have until August to submit nearly 98,500 signatures for each measure to get them on the ballot.

Three prep athletes honored for track prowess Evans, Sloan head for college teams; Sprout has year left at Valor

BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Maya Evans, of Lutheran, is the co-Colorado Community Media South Metro Girls Track Athlete of the Year.

Maya Evans and Emily Sloan will head off to college carrying a combined 14 Colorado High School Activities Association state track titles with them.

And, sophomore Cole Sprout of Valor Christian will be seeking more laurels in a third classification next season.

Evans and Sloan have been selected as the 2018 Colorado Community Media South Metro co-winners of the Girls Track Athlete of Year award.

Sprout is the boys’ winner.

Evans, a Class 3A standout at Lutheran High School in Parker who will be attending and competing at Texas A&M, won three more individual state championships at the May 17-19 state track championships at Jeffco Stadium.

She won the 100-meter dash in Class 3A in 12:02, the 200 meters in 24.88 and the long jump with a leap of 18:03.50. That gave her eight individual state titles to go along with another as a member of a relay team.

“Maya is a special talent and one of the greatest athletes to ever participate in Colorado,” said Lutheran coach Darwin Horan.

Sloan, who graduated from Rock Canyon in May, will continue her schooling and athletic career at Oregon after winning the 100- and 300-meter hurdles at the state meet to give

She won her fourth straight 100-meter hurdles state title in 13:59 at last month’s state meet and her second 300 hurdles crown in 44.42, which was special after she fell in the 2017 state meet 300 finals with a big lead and crawled to a secondplace finish.

In the 300 hurdles state meet preliminaries, Sloan set an all-time Colorado record with a 40.60 clocking.

“This will get my ready for Oregon,” Sloan said after winning on a cold, rainy final day of the state meet. “I had a goal of winning the 100 meters from my freshman year and I did that. And winning the 300 was good.”

Sprout, who transferred from Faith Christian to Valor, won the Class 4A races in the 1,600 and 3,200 meters at this season’s state meet after taking the 4A cross country title last

He was the runner-up in both track events for 3A Faith Christian in 2017 and next season he will be competing in 5A when the Eagles move up a classification.

Sprout set a Colorado all-time classification record of 9:01.53 in the 3,200 on May 4 at the Jeffco championships.

“I improved a lot during the track season,” said Sprout.

“I’m looking forward to next year to see what I can do. Next year I want to break the mile record (1,600) and take down my two-mile record (3,200).”

Jamie Tatum named Girls Soccer Player of Year Rock Canyon athlete cited as complete player by her coach

BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Jamie Tatum’s scoring statistics aren’t overwhelming, but the Rock Canyon senior midfield soccer player showed the ability to produce when it counted.

Tatum, who will continue playing at the next level at the University of Wyoming, was the Continental League’s second leading scorer with 13 goals and seven assists for 33

points.

Ponderosa sophomore Jazlynn Ellis led the league with 48 points on 22 goals and four assists.

Tatum, however, was hard to contain late in the stretch run of the season during Rock Canyon’s playoff push and has been selected as the 2018 Colorado Community Media South Metro Girls Soccer Player of the Year.

“Ellis was a prolific scorer in our league and was our league’s Player of the Year,” said Rock Canyon coach Mat Henbest. “I truly believe Jamie Tatum is a complete player. Jamie scored in each of our four games in the state tournament and certainly did come through and lift our team as we made our run to the semifinals.

“We lost in OT to Broomfield where Jamie was able to score for us. Jamie Tatum is worthy of the South Metro Girls Player of the Year.”

In the final seven games of the season that included four Class 5A playoff games, Tatum had the game-winning goal or assisted on the game-winning goal in six of those games. And she had a goal in the 3-2 semifinal setback to Broomfield.

“It was my senior year and it felt like I had been with the team for a while,” said Tatum. I was happy with the season. I played better and definitely helped the three freshmen that started practically every game for us.

“I tried to make sure they were in the right mindset.”

Rock Canyon’s Jamie Tatum is the Colorado Community Media South Metro Girls Soccer Player of the Year.

ROAD RAGE

drivers, sometimes to their house, or threaten them with a weapon.

Parker police said in several cases drivers have menaced another driver with a gun, but the shooting, which occurred near the intersection of Parker Road and Crown Crest Boulevard during rush hour, was rare.

Never before have Parker police received a report of a shooting related to road rage.

The victim, who has not been identified and was released from a local hospital with a minor injury, has declined any interview requests.

To avoid a potentially harmful situations, Madden and Baron agree the best thing to do is to not get out of the car and drive to a very public place, like a police station.

“We’d like to see people using the phone versus taking action into their own hands,” Madden said. “Any time you try to do something yourself on the road, it becomes a very antagonistic situation.”

a roadside assistance service, reported that drivers from certain cities are significantly less courteous than others, which often leads to road rage.

“You tend to think of certain communities as being naturally aggressive and others as being polite,” Baron said. “You still do have cultural norms at play, but if not everyone is agreeing to the same sets of rules, that can lead to great tension.”

Aggressive driving turns into road rage when another driver becomes involved and is unwilling to back down. Baron said drivers can mitigate road-rage incident by separating themselves from aggressive drivers.

But that doesn’t always work.

The project would also resurface and “green up” the parking lot, said Jon Suddarth, vice president of real estate for The William Warren Group, which owns StorQuest, the company hoping to put a self-storage facility in the back side of the former Kmart.

Aside from turning around a vacancy, the city would also see more sales-tax revenue if the project goes through, Suddarth said.

And kids from six schools will be learning from professional artists about collaborative mosaic projects, related to Daryl Thetford’s “Denver Cityscape” (Create Your City) in collaboration with the Denver Chalk Festival.

Music will be performed on the Janus Henderson Main Stage and at the Blue Moon Beer Garden, with a ticketed concert event to benefit music education on July 7. (“Uprooted” with Michael Glabicki of Rusted Root.)

Festival Night, July 6, features Rob Drabkin on the Main Stage.

And then, there’s always “food — glorious food!” Culinary Avenue will be located on Detroit Street and will offer a selection of 22 vendors that stantially,” Suddarth told the audience. Kmart paid sales tax that, “for this size, is not that much,” he added.

To reuse the building with the plan based on the self-storage facility, the developers need the City of Englewood to approve a planned-unit development application, which lays out a design for the site, and a change to the property’s zoning to allow for the selfstorage use. That process could take months, and six to nine months of construction would ensue after that, Ripple said. Chuze Fitness could open around the start of 2019, he said.

range from Alpine Sausage Company through Gyros Corner and Las Empanadas to Respicci’s Italian Ice Cream and Original Berrie Kabobs. Four food trucks will also be located through the festival.

Under the heading, “Art is for Everyone,” CherryArts, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, conducts a behind-the-scene year-round arts education program, in addition to this showy summer festival. It takes a Mobile Gallery with museum-quality artworks to various schools and libraries, so more children can learn through the school year, as well as from other art programs that travel. It will conduct a Stanley Arts Festival with about 100 booths at the recently developed Stanley Marketplace in Aurora in September.

Original artwork and festival posters are circulated to schools. The Janus Henderson Investors Student Art Buying Program gives students from 24 schools funds to purchase art for permanent display in their schools.

One woman in the audience asked if more storage units would be a problem in the Englewood area due to its homeless population — she mentioned the possibility of homeless individuals staying around the building — but Suddarth said the building will have security measures.

One man mentioned the “tremendous eyesore” of a former Kmart site at South Monaco Parkway and East Evans Avenue in Denver, which has sat vacant for years.

“So I appreciate everything you’re doing,” he said.

The former U.S. Toy building at 8101 S. Quebec St. at East Otero Avenue in Centennial, June 12. A developer plans to remodel the building for an Alfalfa’s Market store, a move the city has acted to incentivize.

ELLIS ARNOLD

Alfalfa’s Market may come to Centennial

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Amid a steady stream of closings for grocery and other big-box stores in the metro area, one vacant building not far from East County Line Road and Interstate 25 may rise from the ashes as an Alfalfa’s Market.

The Boulder-based grocer, whose two locations sit in that city and nearby Louisville, would break into the metro-area market at the south edge of Centennial near the Willow Creek neighborhood. And Alfalfa’s would do it on the strength of an up to $500,000 sales-tax rebate from the city, paid over a maximum of 10 years.

“The city recognizes that significant changes are occurring in the retail

industry due to the rise of online shopping, the Amazon effect and consumer desire for new retail experiences,” said Neil Marciniak, economic-development manager for Centennial. “These changes will continue to impact the city’s main revenue source, sales tax, while at the same time impacting our neighborhood-shopping centers and the surrounding residents.”

In line with what officials call the city’s “Retail Reinvestment Strategy,” the Centennial City Council approved an agreement with Quebec Alfalfas LLC, the company that intends to redevelop the building at 8101 S. Quebec St., at the June 4 council meeting.

That site, the former U.S. Toy building, sits mostly vacant not far from a former Safeway that closed in June 2015 — one of nine in the metro area that shuttered at that time — and an Albertsons just a few minutes northwest at 7450 S. University Blvd. that closed in November 2016.

SMITH FROM PAGE 12

Aging improves perception. Or it should.

When I was in high school, quarterbacks and cheerleaders were cool.

Maybe now, kids who accomplish things out of the spotlight are appreciated more than they were when I was in school.

If he were a newcomer in 2018, would anyone listen to Bob Dylan?

Maybe not.

cert on the drift.

I have used the word “cool” here very reluctantly. I never use the word otherwise, unless it’s in reference to the weather. I had no choice.

There is no suitable synonym.

“Cool” is ubiquitous and unavoidable.

It has become a one-word statement, as if it says it all.

Note: It doesn’t.

His lyrics would be wasted. Unless a producer came in and made his songs dance, dance, danceable.

“Bobby, let’s change costumes every 20 minutes. Try this: Grab the front of your pants, and, oh, pretend to walk backwards.”

Was Stephen Hawking cool? You bet.

Is Wolf Blitzer cool? Probably not.

But his name is. I wish “Wolf Blitzer” were my name.

Some names are cooler than others. Cary Grant was born Archibald Leach.

Someone got cute with the name and gave most of it to John Cleese’s char-

acter in “A Fish Called Wanda.”

Many of the stars you know by one name — Judy Garland — weren’t born that way. Studios provided cooler names.

Frances Ethel Gumm sang “Over the Rainbow.”

Cool gets rearranged about every 10 years. I was there in the 1960s and the 1970s, and they were not cool. You can have them.

Fashion was rag-tagged, tie-dyed, shoulder-padded, big-collared, and bellbottomed.

So please, if you can’t show her the respect she deserves, can you please show all of us a little respect as we are also trying to fly today.”

He stood there for a moment, looked at the line behind us, gave me a scowl, took his middle-seat ticket, and moved on.

ALFALFA FROM PAGE 33

The city is banking on the idea that Alfalfa’s isn’t just a normal grocery store. It boasts an extensive in-house menu, allowing shoppers to eat in its food court or carry a take-out meal home. Its website talks up its support of “local, organic and innovative food, wellness products and culinary creations.”

“The project provides an opportunity to further the city’s goals and objectives, including the Retail Reinvestment Strategy, by introducing a unique tenant to the trade area and updated architecture that represents current and future retailing development trends,” a report by city staff said.

Centennial’s reinvestment strategy generally is a pivot toward recognizing the trend toward experiential uses, a term for services like restaurant dining that consumers can’t get online.

“Alfalfa’s brings a unique retail

June 21, 2018J and grocery concept to Centennial,” Marciniak said. The neighborhood’s “Safeway space was taken over by VASA Fitness, which is a growing trend in retail centers: fitness uses, churches and other non-retail uses taking over big boxes that aren’t being backfilled by traditional retailers or grocery stores.”

The city would gain in sales- and property-tax revenue and attract grocery spending from non-Centennial residents, the staff report said. After necessary approvals by the city, construction could wrap up around the end of the year if the project moves forward. The developer could not confirm an opening date due to variables involved in the remodel process, Marciniak said.

The project would remodel a roughly 30,000-square-foot building, of which Alfalfa’s would occupy about 24,000 square feet — two existing businesses, Biryani Pot, an Indian restaurant, and Spa Brokers, a seller of hot tubs, spas, saunas and fireplaces, occupy the other 6,000 square feet. The project aims to feature a trendier exterior look,

with repainted walls and a veneerwood accent at the corners closest to Quebec Street. A main draw could be a “community meeting” area with a multi-use outdoor space, interior café/ community room, and a demo or prep kitchen for culinary classes and educational events, according to the city’s agreement with the developer.

“The indoor-outdoor gathering spaces allow for a variety of functions including group meetings, community events, a community garden and health fairs,” the city report said. The area will be part of the store but is intended to be a free meeting space, Marciniak said.

The $500,000 total the city promised in its development-incentive agreement isn’t free money — Alfalfa’s would be required to remodel the building’s exterior much more thoroughly and according to its proposed design.

All development-incentive agreements are performance-based, meaning the city doesn’t pay up-front, but rebates some of the tax revenue the store generates if the conditions of

the agreement are met.

“The city considers incentives for significant projects that will have a positive impact on the community,” Marciniak said.

City council approved an incentive agreement for a new Natural Grocers on East Arapahoe Road near South Peoria Street in 2017, Marciniak said.

The monetary amount for Alfalfa’s is “in line with projects of similar size and scale,” he added.

Neil Lipson, a Willow Creek resident, attended a meeting with Mayor Stephanie Piko, the assistant city manager and city planners, he said.

“I think (the Alfalfa’s) would be a great addition,” Lipson said. “We did discuss trying to create a fully coordinated development on both sides of Quebec. The east side, Willow Creek Shopping Center, is still struggling in areas.”

Lipson praised the proposed outdoor patio area, too.

“That would also be a welcome addition,” Lipson said. “I think the store will get plenty of business from the neighborhood.”
