Sunshine’s impact sparks heated debate Members of informal watchdog group say they’re not undoing the city By Kyle Harding kharding@coloradocommunitymedia.com When Michael Penny was fired as city manager by the Littleton City Council, District 1 Councilmember Bill Hopping, one of two members who tried to save Penny’s job, said the move was the latest step in an effort to “dismantle the city.” Members of the group that some claim
spearheaded Penny’s ouster say otherwise. Sunshine, or the Sunshine Boys, began with three members and a desire to repeal Littleton’s grocery tax in the early 2000s. They succeeded at that effort in 2003 and remain an informal group that gathers on Friday mornings to discuss city business and often attends city council meetings to offer public comment. The nonpartisan group has no formal membership, no charter and no written rules. Two of Sunshine’s defining missions, those affiliated with it say, are to promote transparency in local government and carefully considered growth within the city.
“
This idea that Sunshine orchestrated (the city manager’s) firing is ridiculous.”
Doug Clark, Littleton city councilmember
Since the grocery tax fight, Sunshine has had success, including last year’s passage, by a wide margin, of a voter initiative requiring a vote of the people for urban-renewal projects. Sunshine members say Penny de-
served to be fired — they cite a lack of transparency on urban-renewal projects, among other things — but that it’s not their doing. Sunshine continues on Page 5

Survivor moves past the pain Gym hosts fundraising event for Highlands Ranch woman By Kyle Harding kharding@coloradocommunitymedia.com On May 4, 2014, Kristin Hopkins had planned to be challenging herself at a Spartan Sprint obstacle course race. Instead, she was taking a helicopter ride to St. Anthony Hospital after spending six days trapped in her Chevy Malibu, 80 feet off the side of Highway 285 near Fairplay. Just over two years later, the 46-year-old Highlands Ranch mother of four completed her goal. It took her nearly five hours to run, climb and
crawl her way through the steep, rocky course that wound its way through five miles of the range area at Fort Carson that made up the course for the Spartan Military Sprint on May 15. But she made it. And she made it running on two prosthetic legs. Hopkins had both lower legs amputated following her crash in April 2014. The crash and loss of her legs was a bump in the road for Hopkins as she worked to get in shape. She had registered for the race as way to kick-start her efforts. “I was out of shape, I was fat, I just kind of needed motivation,” she said. In the spring of 2013, Hopkins had begun working out, but going to traditional gyms was intimidating.
“You go to the gym and you’re overweight, you’re embarrassed, you cry before you go in the gym,” she said. Hopkins got her prosthetic legs in June 2014. The gym that she worked out at donated personal training sessions, and she began lifting weights. She accompanied a friend to a Crossfit gym. “I drank the Kool-Aid,” she said, referring to a common half-joking accusation that Crossfit is a cult. The gym closed, and Hopkins began working out at F.I.T. Park Meadows Crossfit in Lone Tree, finding that gym owner and trainer Nathan Lemon’s bootcamp-style workouts suited her.

Robbery reported at Littleton gun shop
FACES AMONG US
Staff report The Littleton Police Department responded to a gun store robbery on County Line Road early Wednesday morning, the day after a similar robbery in Jefferson County. Officers responded at about 1:45 a.m. to Triple J Armory at 311 E. County Line Road to find damage to the front of the building. While the investigation is ongoing, police say it appears 20 to 30 guns were stolen.
Witnesses described seeing a white van drive into the front of the building and several suspects enter the store. Police investigators are now working on a joint investigation with the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office based on the similarities between this robbery and Colorado Gun Broker on West Bowles Avenue early June 21. The stores are approximately nine miles apart. Police are also investigating if a white van involved in an accident in Denver is related to the robberies.

HELLO
... My Name Is
A glimpse of the people in our community
SHAWN MALOY Dentist, golf and ski enthusiast About me I’m a Littleton native. I was born and raised here and I graduated from Heritage High School. My job I’m a dentist and I’m part-owner of Old Town Dental in downtown Littleton. My dad, Robert Maloy, started the practice in 1964, so we’ve been around Littleton for a long time. I went to CU Boulder for
undergrad and the University of Colorado School of Dentistry. After dental school I joined the Navy and served for four years as a dentist. I came back and joined the family practice in 1994. I really like the interaction with the patients and the relationships, and I like helping people out. Why Littleton? It’s just a great community with great schools. I have three kids; they all went to the same schools I went to. It has a small town feel near a big city. My free time? I’m a big golfer and a skier. I golf probably twice a week at Columbine Country Club and I try to ski at Winter Park about once a week in the winter. I also work out three times a week at a gym. I don’t really have any fitness goals, I’m just trying to stay in shape as I get into my 50s. If you have suggestions for My Name is… contact Kyle Harding at kharding@coloradocommunitymedia.com

July 4 festivities offer day of family fun Cornerstone, Belleview parks will conclude event with fireworks show By Tom Munds tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia.com
The July 4 Family Festival and Fireworks agenda once again includes food vendors, activities and, of course, fireworks. This marks the 21st year that communities and agencies have joined forces to put on the celebration at Cornerstone and Belleview parks, two of the parks clustered near the intersection of West Belleview Avenue and South Windermere Street. The popular event sees growing numbers of attendees as the day progresses, and people begin parking and gathering along streets in the area adjacent to the parks to watch the fireworks, swelling the estimated attendance to more than 40,000. The parks are open all day and some people begin arriving early to find a good spot to watch the fireworks and set up for the day. As more and more people arrive, Cornerstone Park begins to look like a tent city as families set up canopies and tents on the grassy areas. Organizers asked all who plan to attend to be aware that no alcoholic beverages, glass containers or personal fireworks, including sparklers, are permitted in the parks. Bringing pets to the parks is discouraged. Roving patrols of police and park rangers have been advised to confiscate fireworks, issue tickets and escort violators from the park. Another challenge is parking. The available spaces at the parks and at the nearby Littleton Service Center at 1800 West s Belleview Ave. fill quickly. Those attending should obey no-parking signs, since tickets will be issued to violators. Every year, it takes a small army of volunteers to help put on the event. This year, that includes representatives from the Arapahoe Rescue Patrol and the
People arrive early to stake out a location at Belleview and Cornerstone parks for the July 4 celebration. The parks are open all day but games and activities begin at 3 p.m. and the fireworks show is scheduled to start at 9:30 p.m. File photo Englewood Police Volunteers. While food trucks and activities at Belleview and Cornerstone parks don’t begin until 3 p.m., there are all-day activities underway nearby. The Colorado Journey Miniature Golf Course at Belleview and Windermere is open, as is Pirates Cove Family Aquatic Park located on the north side of Belleview Avenue. Also, the miniature train and children’s farm are in operation in Belleview Park. A fee is charged for all these activities. The finale of the event comes about 9:30 p.m. when a fireworks show about 20 minutes long will be set off from the ball
fields on the north side of Belleview. The fireworks display is planned whether or not it rains. Murphy Robinson, assistant city manager, presented the request for funding for the event at the June 20 Englewood City Council meeting. “The council asked staff to plan the event and we sought to make it more efficient,” he said. “Once again, we are working with Littleton, South Suburban Parks and Recreation Department and Sheridan to put on the event.” The city council approved the request for $67,588 for the event. Robinson said
Now Enrolling
other agencies have contributed about $30,000. Adding in agency personnel costs, he said the bill for the event is about $150,000. He said there was an effort to reduce costs by not having events that drew limited attendance. The result is there won’t be a fishing derby this year and there will not be a stage and a concert. “Something new this year is that, instead of tent vendors, people will be able to buy food and drinks from food trucks,” he said. “It is a plus because the food trucks pay a vendor fee to set up at the park.”

Bid for marathon bowling record derailed Todd Wessels was aiming for a Guinness record to help raise money for his son

By Tom Munds tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia.com An apparently unthinking and selfish action sabotaged Todd Wessels’ effort to break the Guinness world record for a 10pin bowling marathon. Moe’s Original Bar B Que in Englewood donated the use of the lane and other support to Wessels’ effort, aimed at breaking the existing record of bowling 134 hours and 57 minutes straight — more than five days — and bowling more than 643 games. Wessels, of Thornton, said he decided to do the bowling marathon as a way to bring attention to the needs of children like his son, who has a potentially life-threatening form of epilepsy, and to raise money to provide his son with a seizure-alert dog. He said training a dog depends on how long it takes, and costs could range from about $5,000 to 10 times that amount. His bid to set the world record ended when he was less than 15 hours from his goals. “I was away from the lane on a break when someone who knew what I was trying to do bowled on my lane,” Wessels, 46, said. “I was heartbroken. I haven’t cried since my mother died, but I cried when I found out what happened.” Wessels bowled a while longer after he knew his effort to break the record would not count — he was required to bowl at least five games an hour. Before the unauthorized bowler ended his effort the night of June 24, Wessels had bowled 703 games, exceeding the world record. But it doesn’t count because the marathon record is for hours and games at the same time. He said the score didn’t matter and he threw a lot of gutter balls. His game scores ranged from a 206 to a 1. “I hate the fact this happened, but it definitely was a learning experience,” he said. “I think I will try to break the record
again later this year. I will tape off the area so someone can’t ‘accidentally’ bowl on my lane. I will hire someone as security. And I will put up some banners to let everyone know what I am doing and why I am doing it.” His fundraising effort was online through GoFundMe.com. His specific project was called “A penny a frame.” The idea was to bowl about 7,500 frames, and he was asking for donations of $75 per person to go toward getting his son, Cameron, a dog. When the record-breaking effort came to an end, Wessels began contacting those who had donated to the project, giving the

Part Time Associates Several Positions Are Available at our Greenwood Village Store 5950 South Holly Street
opportunity to withdraw their support. He said most people said to keep the donations. The total collected was about $1,400. He said he will still accept donations to help get his son the seizure-alert dog. For information on how to make a donation, call 720-670-7881 or go to the GoFundMe page. Wessels brought his plan to break the world record to Moe’s, where he said the management opened the doors and the lane to him. “It is awesome what he is doing and to have him do it on our bowling lanes,” said Moe’s general manager, Josh Alston, the afternoon of June 23. “The entire staff has
embraced him and he has become part of the Moe’s family. He is doing this for a good cause. He is a very strong-willed individual battling through the struggles he has faced. We are doing all we can to help him get to the finish line.” Wessels praised all that Moe’s has done for his project. “Everyone here has really stepped up to help me anyway they can,” he said. “They let me stay here around the clock. They lock up the place at midnight and leave me here with one other person so I can continue to bowl. They donate the use of the lanes and even donate the meals they provide for me and my family. I really appreciate what they are doing.” Guinness World Records requires that at least two video cameras record an attempt at a record. Wessell said he looked at the video and saw the people who stepped over and bowled on his lane. “I sent an email to Guinness, even though I knew the answer,” he said. “They replied that, even though it was not an authorized act, it was considered illegal substitution so my record attempt was over.” Wessels said Cameron, 14, has had epilepsy since he was 6. “He began having more frequent seizures, we had him tested and found he had a rare form of the disease called SCN8A,” he said. “There is no cure but the only way to keep our child alive is to have a seizurealert dog, which lets us know the child will have a seizure in 45 minutes or less. That would be time to administer medication used to prevent a seizure.” He said he decided on the bowling record attempt because the only sport Cameron could participate in, because of epilepsy, was bowling. The rules to break the world record were fairly simple. Wessels was allowed a five-minute break each hour, he had to bowl at least five games an hour and had to start the five-game set five minutes after each hour. He said you can stockpile the breaks so there was a longer period to eat, rest or take a bathroom break.

Sports Authority keeps headquarters open, for now
Final shutdown now set d for end of December By Tom Munds tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia.com The complete shutdown of the Sports Authority Store Support Center in Englewood didn’t happen on June 3 as announced, and the new final closing date has been set for December. Sports Authority sent a formal notice to the city June 10, announcing operations at the center located at 1050 W. Hampden Ave. will not come to an end until Dec. 30. In the notice required under the

“We don’t get to vote,” Carol Brzeczek pointed out. That’s not true for everyone affiliated with the group. Councilmember Doug Clark, who made the motion to fire Penny on June 14, is a well-known member of the group. Clark, and others affiliated with Sunshine, has long opposed Penny on issues such as urban renewal and development. Clark said city staff working under Penny made improper decisions in the approval of The Grove, a mixeduse senior apartment community, such as classifying the railroad right-of-way as a public right-of-way in order to meet open space requirements in the zoning code. Clark said that those actions contributed to Penny’s firing, but also said that Councilmember Jerry Valdes and Mayor Bruce Beckman, who joined him and
Worker’s Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act, the letter stated there will be layoffs starting Sept. 2 with the final layoffs scheduled to occur on Dec. 30. At one time, Sports Authority was among Englewood’s largest employers, with about 900 people in the two buildings that house the corporate headquarters. At that time, just about every space in the expansive parking lot was taken. Since the company’s bankruptcy filing in March, it seems there are more and more empty parking spaces in the lots. Eric Keck, Englewood city manager, said he has received no information about the plans for the corporate headquarters and the people who work there. He said he knows the reduction of the
staff at the corporate headquarters will have a negative impact on surrounding business, including service stations, restaurants and other stores, which in turn will have an impact on the community. Efforts to contact Sports Authority for comments were unsuccessful. Unofficial estimates place the number of employees still at the headquarters at about 300. According to the WARN document, that number will be gradually reduced until the final shutdown by Dec. 30. The WARN Act requires filings of notifications under specific circumstances, such as a plant closing. Sports Authority complied with the requirement, initially announcing the June closing date, then
Councilmember Peggy Cole in the vote to dismiss the city manager, have only attended Sunshine meetings a small number of times. “This idea that Sunshine orchestrated Michael’s firing is ridiculous,” Clark said. A Facebook page called “Littleton, Awake” published an open letter on June 25 rebuking Clark, Cole, Beckman and Valdes and asking city residents to express that they have lost confidence in the councilmembers. Councilmember Debbie Brinkman, who joined Hopping in voting against firing Penny, sent an email expressing a similar sentiment to members of the TrailMark homeowners’ association. In her message, Brinkman called the group “obstructionists” and said the council majority wants to regress the city to the 1950s. Clark acknowledges that he and most of the people who attend Sunshine meetings had a negative opinion of Penny. Members of Sunshine say Penny had a longstanding grudge against the group going back to shortly after he arrived in
Littleton in the fall of 2011, and that he discouraged councilmembers from attending the meetings. Membership of the group ebbs and flows. Paul Bingham, known for his weekly email newsletter and his opposition to the city’s urban-renewal authority, said more than 40 people attended the meeting the week Penny was fired. Don Bruns, a frequent public commenter at council meetings who has been attending Sunshine gatherings for about a year, says Sunshine is not a monolithic group but rather a place to learn and discuss city issues. “It’s more of a community forum than a group,” he said. Whether Sunshine is a lockstep group or a loose coalition of people concerned about Littleton, the group has been a thorn in the side of some pro-development residents for years. Former councilmember and real estate developer Randy Stein resigned his seat on council in frustration last year after voters approved Question 300, the ballot measure requiring a vote for urban-renewal activities.

“I use her as inspiration,” Lemon said. “It’s a great way to tell people ‘yes, you can do this.’” With Lemon’s help, Hopkins prepared for another chance at the Spartan Race. She had planned to run it in 2015, but she didn’t feel ready yet. Hopkins can’t do everything that is included in the gym’s WODs — workout of the day — because her prosthetics don’t flex. For instance, she can’t do full squats, a staple of Crossfit workouts. This also her on the Spartan course, making the downhill running sections especially difficult. The race wasn’t easy while she was doing it, and she felt it afterwards as well. “My back, my knees, they told me ‘please don’t do this again,’” she said. “I’ll do it again,” she clarifies. “I’ve already forgotten the pain.” Hopkins is raising money to buy a more advanced set of prosthetics, not just in order to further her own workouts, but to become
later modifying the closing date to the end of the year. Filing the WARN notice 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 when the step was taken to file for bankruptcy in federal court in Wilmington, Delaware. Efforts were made to attract capital to continue operation or to attract a buyer, but were unsuccessful. On May 24, Federal Bankruptcy Court Judge Mary Walrath approved the company proposal to have a team of liquidators start the going-out-of-business sale that will include all inventory and fixtures at all retail locations. The sale must be completed by Aug. 31.
Stein said he originally ran in order to bring his land-use expertise to the council. “My skillset was less valuable, I felt,” he said, in reference to the outcome of the vote on Question 300. Stein has harsh words for said Sunshine, saying the group is “toxic” and wants to keep Littleton stuck in the past. Stein said that if the city does not find ways to bring in new revenue, services will degrade. An outspoken admirer of Penny and advocate for urban renewal, Stein said he has finally had enough of Littleton, selling his home last week and moving to a piece of property he bought in Indian Hills, a small community in Jefferson County. Sunshine is not against development nor is it attempting to “dismantle” the city, Bingham said. But they want transparency and what he calls “rational development.” Bingham said that despite the current strife, Sunshine is optimistic about the future of the city under a new manager. “We think that the city is going to be run,” he said, “in a transparent manner.”

a personal trainer and help other disabled people realize their fitness potential. “She’s really determined,” said Hopkins’ prosthetist, Zach Harvey of Creative Technology Prosthetics in Denver. Harvey said that active patients are challenging because the fit of their prosthetics needs to be precise. Hopkins’ quest for new legs was the beneficiary of the first of four charity events Lemon’s gyms are hosting. Tour de Fit, as it’s called, kicked off on June 18 at the Park Meadows location as dozens turned out for a friendly team competition. The F.I.T. location in Thornton will host an event later this summer to benefit WOD for Water, an organization that uses workout events to raise funds for clean drinking water in poor countries. F.I.T. Loveland will host an event benefitting a local school lunch program. Lemon is still searching for a beneficiary for an event at his newest location, F.I.T. Littleton. Hopkins is still working toward raising the $10,000 for her new prosthetics. She has a crowdfunding effort set up at www.gofundme.com/footlessgoddess. At the June 18 event, about $3,000 was raised, Lemon said.

Parker doctor dies in accident at Chatfield Dr. Hope Cassel overtaken by storm while she was paddleboarding with family By Tom Skelley tskelley@coloradocommunitymedia.com Hope Cassel was paddleboarding at Chatfield Reservoir with her three sons, ages 14, 13 and 11, and one of the sons’ friends, also 11, when a violent storm hit the area around 1 p.m. on June 24. Cassel, a doctor who lived in Parker and had a popular practice there, shared her paddleboard with the family dog, Max, during the outing. When the storm hit, she and the boys all capsized. Cassel was wearing a self-inflating life ring that wasn’t inflated, and the boys were all wearing life jackets. According to Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office spokesman Mark Techmeyer, one of Cassel’s last acts was a selfless directive to her oldest son. Seeing his mother struggling to stay afloat, Cassel’s oldest son tried to swim
to her when she directed him to get the younger boys to shore instead. He did, and the children landed in a marshy area south of the reservoir’s swim beach. Hail was falling at that time and the boys, who lost sight of Cassel their mother, took shelter in a free-standing bathroom until it subsided. Cassel, 45, was pulled from the water by the man who rented the paddleboards, who saw Cassel’s board floating in the water. He didn’t realize she was underwater, still tethered to the board, until he began retrieving it. The children lost their bearings during their swim to shore, but Cassel’s oldest son eventually led them to the family’s car, where they turned on the engine and heater to warm themselves until they saw emergency vehicles responding and the man who rented the paddleboards directed first responders to their vehicle. Cassel was transported to the inten-
sive care unit at Littleton Adventist Hospital. She was listed in critical condition until she died the night of June 26. “This is such a tragic loss,” said Faith Tirrell, a mother of two who saw Cassel for both pregnancies. “She had that amazing Southern charm; you felt right at home with her. She experienced all of your concerns and your joys along with you.” Tirrell said she found out about the accident over the weekend and prayed for Cassel to recover. “Like everybody else, I was praying for a miracle,” she said. Tirrell said she occasionally saw Cassel’s sons in her office, and her love for them was apparent. In addition to her condolences for Cassel’s family, Tirrell said she also feels sympathy for the patients in Cassel’s care. “It’s such a personal choice and relationship to choose someone to go through this with you, you want to have someone who really cares,” she said. “She was the one who would laugh and cry with you.” Plans for services have not yet been

New House bill supports high-schoolers, businesses Measure funds grants for on-site job-training opportunities By Alex DeWind adewind@coloradocommunitymedia.com High school students will now have more internship, apprenticeship and other job training opportunities following the passing of House Bill 1288, signed into law mid-June by Gov. John Hickenlooper. Rep. Sen. Jack Tate (R-Centennial) backed the bill, saying it bridges the gap between emerging high school graduates who need skills and businesses that have a growing demand for skilled talent. “The bill incentivizes industry to champion creating career opportunities and training for our next generation,” Tate said. HB-1288 creates a public-private grant program within the state workforce development council for businesses — which is responsible for improving the workforce system — and their industry associations that provide on-site training for high school graduates. The bill has a fund for providing grants and the state will match these grants to implement worksite apprenticeships and training programs, Tate said. “The beauty of this approach,” Tate said in a media release, “is that it bridges the gap between emerging high school graduates who need skills and businesses who have a growing demand for skilled talent.” The Bill will also open a career path to high school graduates who may not be interested in attending a fouryear college but still want to excel in the workforce. The signing was hosted by Mikron Corporation, which develops, produces and markets automation and machining systems, at its 70,000-square-foot facility near Dove Valley and Centennial Airport. Mikron initiated a student internship program as a model of the HB 1288 grant program. “In attendance were five high school students from Cherry Creek Schools who are starting their technical careers as interns at Mikron,” a media release says. The programs that will be developed are strongly aligned with the competency and skills that businesses are looking for, said Wendy Nkomo, chief operating officer of the Colorado Technology Association. The Colorado Technology Association is a 600-person trade association that represents technology companies in Colorado, including AT&T, Universal Mind, Ping Identity, First Bank and Comcast. “This bill is a public-private partnership,” Nkomo said, “and that’s really important because it will make for a stronger result.” It’s not an education or corporate program — it’s a combination of the two that is mutually beneficial. “These programs are competency based and competency driven,” Nkomo said, “based on what a student is learning in school and what a business is looking for in a job.”

Legal marijuana sparks debate over clubs Dispute pits local cities against tourists wanting to smoke weed
By Kristen Wyatt Associated Press Legal marijuana is giving Colorado a stinky conundrum. Visitors can buy the drug, but they can’t use it in public. Or in a rental car. Or in most hotel rooms. The result is something marijuana advocates and opponents feared — people toking up on sidewalks, in city parks and in alleys behind bars and restaurants — despite laws against doing so. And they’re getting dinged with public marijuana consumption tickets. From the capital city of Denver to mountain resorts like Aspen and Breckenridge, police wrote nearly 800 citations for the new crime of public consumption in 2014, the first year of recreational marijuana sales. Some legalization advocates believe they have a solution — pot clubs. Denver
“
You can go out anywhere and see people using alcohol. To socialize, to relax. But not marijuana.”
Teresa Wright, legalization advocate
voters may consider a ballot measure this fall to make the city the most populous place in the nation to expressly allow pot clubs. “People need a place to go,” said Teresa Wright of the Denver suburb of Lafayette. Wright was volunteering in Denver recently to gather signatures to ask voters this fall about allowing private pot clubs in the city. “You can go out anywhere and see people using alcohol. To socialize, to relax. But not marijuana,” Wright said. “We deserve to have a place. It’s a legal
activity.” But marijuana clubs have proven a harder sell here than legalizing the drug in the first place. The amendment that legalized marijuana doesn’t give people the right to use it “openly or publicly,” a nod to critics who said legalization would lead to an explosion of Amsterdam-style clubs. But Colorado’s constitution doesn’t ban public use, either, leading to a confusing patchwork of local policies on weed clubs. Denver has closed pot clubs that it’s discovered, and Colorado Springs has
given existing clubs five years to close down. The small northern Colorado town of Nederland regulates a club that advertises, “out of state, out of country, and of course locals are welcome.” In southern Colorado, Pueblo County allows clubs but has none. In Englewood, city officials last year were surprised to learn that a business licensed as a retail store was actually operating as a pot club. City council members voted 7-0 this month to allow no new pot clubs, and are on track to decide the fate of the existing club. A pot club is on the hot seat in unincorporated Adams County, where officials have announced their intention to seek an injunction closing the operation on grounds that it violated zoning standards. No other states with legal recreational pot have licensed clubs, either. Alaska’s Marijuana Control Board voted last year to repeal an explicit ban on social marijuana clubs, but the state hasn’t yet

Youth pot use reportedly not up after legalization Survey of 17,000 students in state took place in 2015
By Kristen Wyatt Associated Press Marijuana use among Colorado high schoolers has not increased since legalization, the state health department reported recently in a new batch of youth survey results. The 2015 Healthy Kids Colorado survey of about 17,000 middle and high school students across the state showed that 21.2 percent of high school students reported that they currently use pot.
That’s just a hair below the national average, which was 21.7 percent. Since voters approved recreational marijuana use for those 21 and older in 2012, Colorado has worked to keep youths off of pot. Campaigns have said the drug will keep them from achieving their full potential and reminded them their brains aren’t fully developed until they reach 25. Nine of 10 Colorado high school youths said they don’t smoke cigarettes, the highest rejection of smoking by high school youths in the past decade. Colorado health authorities praised the results as an indication that riskprevention efforts are working.
We’re dog-friendly! Just look for decals on participating store windows.
“Overall, young people in Colorado are making healthy choices,” said Leo Kattari, survey coordinator for the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment. For the first time, the survey took note of the health behaviors of high school students who identified as transgender. Those students reported higher rates of tobacco use, drug use and bullying. For example, more than 25 percent of high schoolers who identified themselves as transgender said they had used heroin. Survey authors noted that the sample size for transgender students was small. Still, they said the numbers suggest an
alarming discrepancy in youth health. “We almost expected there to be greater health disparities among this population,” Kattari said. “It’s because of those daily experiences of bias, stigma and discrimination.” The survey did not make policy suggestions addressing health disparities for transgender students. Middle school students were not asked about gender identity. Kattari said few states seek health data comparing transgender youth health with others, making national comparisons problematic.

Ask yourself: What’s the good word? There are so many people who enjoy a good crossword puzzle, word search puzzle or unscrambling a word jumble. There are many folks who love a good play on words, an anagram, a pun or a great riddle. These word games and puzzles help keep our minds sharp and our creativity flowing. As we know, words are extremely powerful. They can be powerfully positive and energizing or they can be powerfully destructive and hurtful. Words can be factual to help transfer knowledge and information or they can be used to mislead or manipulate situations and people. There so many events happening in our own backyard as well as around the globe that leave people thinking about powerfully negative words. We hear people using powerfully negative words like fear, terror, frustration, anger, rage, road rage, hopelessness, doubt, worry, anxiety, cynical, hate, mad, racism, revenge and others that are equally as negative or damaging when we dwell on them or let them change who we are or how we treat other people, especially people closest to us. Obviously we all deal with very real and difficult situations and sometimes those powerfully negative words are just expressing very real feelings, I totally get that and understand how that can sometimes happen. Yet in a world filled with uncertainty and change, we need to take the time to refuel our minds and our hearts with those
powerfully positive words. We need to be deliberate in thinking beyond the fear, doubt and worry and instead focus our thoughts on the good, the possible and the hope for a better and brighter tomorrow. Sounds too simple, doesn’t it, maybe even Michael Norton a little naïve? Maybe WINNING so, but stay with me on this and just try it. WORDS Make a list of all the positive and powerful words that you can think of, words that you may already have committed to your own personal word bank. Keep this list in a visible place, place copies of the lists around your house, your office, your car. Share the lists or even one word at a time with your family, your friends or your co-workers — even when, or especially when, they are using their own negative word banks. I like to leave one-word notes around the house or send one-word texts or emails from time to time. I just simply write or type words like faith, love, hope, encouragement, kindness, truth, happiness, thanks, blessings, appreciated, grateful, forgiveness, success, opportunity, commitment, passion, purpose, XOXO, belief, special, goodness,
sunshine, excellence, fantastic, joy, flourishing, achievement, accomplishment, driven or any other powerfully positive words that may come into my mind. I write them down and put them in a visible place, or sometimes a hidden place where they can be found later. Or I quickly type it out and hit send. The initial thought may be that I am doing this for the benefit of others, those who receive my encouraging words. But the reality is this, I am the biggest beneficiary of constantly, and consistently, using and sharing these very powerful and positive words each and every time I write them down, type them out, or allow myself to be deliberate in my thoughts. If we are not deliberate in thinking about the good, the possible and the hope for a better tomorrow, it’s just too easy to go along for the ride on the rollercoaster of negativity, up one side of a big problem and down the other side into the valley. So how about you? What are your favorite words or what are those powerfully positive words you use to recharge your positive attitude and belief in the good and the possible? I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@gmail.com, and when we use the right words and the right time, it really will be a better than good week. Michael Norton is a resident of Castle Rock, the former president of the Zig Ziglar Corporation, a strategic consultant and a business and personal coach.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR City manager needed to go Actions of Littleton’s recently dismissed city manager have been a growing concern. For those who value our city’s small-town open space and historic charm, his pro-development agenda advanced urbanization sharply at odds with that distinctive character, routinely circumventing citizen input. The defining character that enriches our lives and sets us apart from the increasingly urbanized congestion of other cities must not be transformed. Here are just a few reasons why this dismissal appeared overdue and fully justified: • After citizens rejected the modernistic multi-story Broadstone development proposal opposite Littleton’s historic courthouse, city manager’s staff approved the five-story Grove in the very same place. They ignored citizen input and a pending lawsuit regarding numerous code violations, including required open-space setbacks. • Four expansive areas were designated for urban renewal, expressly to remediate blight but absent any bonafide blight projects. Designated areas include an new grocery store and brewery, facilitating transfer of substantial incremental property tax revenue — from schools, Arapahoe County, parks and recreation, and the city itself — to a special account subsidizing transformative private-sector development. • A related lawsuit was filed by the city attorney against Arapahoe County for its refusal to approve the inclusion of agricultural acreage in an urban-renewal area. But a court ruled in favor of the county, exposing the city’s attempt to twist urban renewal even to urbanize open space. • Absent council’s approval but under city manager leadership, it appears the city spent tens of thousands of dollars for construction of a new Trailmark fire station. Efforts of some on council to forestall the city manager’s dismissal with a wait-and-see performance work plan served only to publicly reveal far more serious underlying problems. Mayor Beckman took pains explaining that issues at hand could not be resolved by a work plan. It is now obvious they involved adherence to the city code, ethical conduct and trustworthiness. Council avoided rushing its deliberation as members clearly outlined supportive rationale for the motion. The decision appears eminently fair. To contend otherwise seems tantamount to arguing for falsehood, deception and betrayal of Littleton’s citizens and council itself. Don Bruns Littleton Letters continues on Page 11

Reaction to Philadelphia’s tax on soda is a big gulp Writer’s block is a myth, unless you are a writer. I mean a real writer. A writer of books. Books are marathons. Laura Hillenbrand holed up for a year to write “Seabiscuit: An AmeriCraig Marshall Smith can Legend.” QUIET Then what? DESPERATION The pressure is on to do it again. That’s not for me. I write the equivalent of a 50-meter dash three or four or five times a week. Then one is chosen for publication. I sometimes wish you could see what isn’t chosen. My editor is wiser than I am, and knows that I might shutter the paper
with some of my ideas. I read the news and watch the news and pluck. There were so many topics today that I wrote them on cards and threw them in the air. One landed face up. It wasn’t the one with “Orlando” written on it. Or the Broncos’ off-season theme song, “Show Me the Money.” It had “Philadelphia soda tax” on it. Philadelphia has decided to tax sodas at a rate of 1.5 cents per ounce. A 12-ounce can or bottle will be taxed 18 cents. Taxing sodas will generate about $90 million. It will go to good causes, to pay for pre-kindergarten, for example. I never went to kindergarten. I was home-crayoned. The reason why I wrote “Philadelphia soda tax” on a card in the first place is because I drink the stuff. Smith continues on Page 11

Results of overtime rule might be ironic The most important thing to know about the Obama administration’s new overtime rule is that it has now disrupted or voided the arrangements 73,000 Coloradans had with their employers. Arrangements, mutually beneficial to employer and employee alike, that accommodated individual lifestyles, family commitments and emergency needs. The 73,000 number comes from the U.S. Department of Labor and is part of the 4.2 million nationally that DOL claims are recipients of its warmly embracing beneficence. Would that life worked so simply. It is worth noting that to explain its new rule, DOL used two cartoon characters, Sam and Mattie, not two human beings. Sam, the voice-over explains, will “have more of his own time” to do the things he likes. “Sure, you might not make more money, but think of all the free time you’ll have to look for a second job,” noted Noah Rothman in Commentary magazine with bull’s-eye irony. The new rule affects salaried employees, not hourly paid employees. Hourly employees are paid overtime no matter what their annual pay. But certain em-

finished work on the potential to allow people to use pot at certain stores that sell marijuana. Concerns about pot clubs mirror worries about legalizing the drug, including concerns that the clubs could lead to more impaired driving. “There’s no good regulatory model for what these clubs should look like,” said Colorado state Rep. Jonathan Singer.

The tax is intended to cut down on the consumption of sugary drinks. My sugary drink does not contain sugar. I drink diet soda. My non-sugary, sugary drink contains aspartame, an artificial sweetener. According to one website, “Aspartame is, by far, the most dangerous substance on the market that is added to foods.” Wonderful. Vernors ginger ale was available only in Michigan at one time. We would buy it fountain-fresh on the way home from my grandmother’s house near Flint. It was nectar, and I was hooked on soda. I have cut back on my non-sugary, sugary drink. Water seems like a good option. As you might guess, sugary drink manufacturers are not happy about this development in Philadelphia. But what if the soda doesn’t contain sugar? Then it becomes a question of what is and isn’t a soda. Carbonation might be the difference between a soda and other sweetened beverages. More than 68 percent of the adults in Philadelphia are overweight or obese, so

ployees, white-collar workers performing supervisory, managerial or administrative duties, are currently exempt from overtime pay after a $23,660-ayear threshold. The threshold increases to $47,476 on Dec. 1, Tony Gagliardi and it needs no congressional approval GUEST to take effect. If you think this COLUMN increase only fair, think again. “Entry-level management positions are going to disappear, and those employees will fall back to hourly jobs,” said Juanita Duggan, president and CEO of the National Federation of Independent Business. “Obviously, that means higher costs for millions of small businesses regardless of whether they’re making more sales, generating more revenue or dealing with other rising expenses. Many are struggling now, and they’ll have to make tough choices that might affect the very same workers the
Department of Labor thinks it’s helping.” Added NFIB’s senior legal counsel, Beth Milito: “Struggling small-business owners can’t afford to pay more in overtime pay just because the Department of Labor says they should. Businesses can only afford more in payroll if they increase revenue, something the government is powerless to make happen. Most small-business owners will have to limit employees’ hours and career opportunities.” But then, Duggan and Milito would say that, wouldn’t they? That is the tone taken by The New York Times in an editorial praising the new overtime rule. “They (employer groups) have said that employers will cut base pay if forced to pay overtime, but that appears to be an idle threat.” Had, however, the Times editorial board read more than its section that day, it would have come across a story by their reporter, Sarah Max, who analyzed the options available to employers: “They (employers) could even cut the base salaries of those who regularly work more than 40 hours ...” Across the political divide from the Times, The Wall Street Journal put it
right on the money: “The irony is that salaried workers will enjoy less personal flexibility once they have to record their hours, and those who become hourly wage hands will receive even less.” Indeed, as business owner Kelli Glasser put it in Max’s Times report, “If somebody needs to pick up a sick kid or go to a doctor’s appointment, we let them do it because we know that at some point they’ll make up for it. Once you start tracking hours, all that changes.” Added businessman Lior Rachmany in the same article, “I think you get a better product when people are paid a salary. When a person knows there is a task to get done, it will get done, not on the clock.” Rachmany, reports Max, “said he would probably end up hiring more entry-level employees and minimizing overtime pay for his affected salaried employees.” Finding real-life portrayers for DOL’s overtime script after Dec. 1 will be a most difficult casting call. Watch for Sam and Mattie the sequel.
The Democrat planned to propose some sort of pot club bill during the recent legislative session, but gave up after law enforcement, the pot industry, state regulators and even bars and restaurants couldn’t agree on how it should work. Others worry that pot clubs would further encourage minors to try the drug. One Denver woman interviewed at a popular park said she fears that clubs would further entice her underage grandchildren to try pot. “The fact is, marijuana is all over the city now,” said Sara Epstein, 77. “It’s so easy to get. Why do they need a club?
That’s just going to show kids it’s even easier to get. It’s the wrong message.” Marijuana activists trying to get a club measure on Denver ballots say pot skeptics should welcome clubs for just that reason. “You don’t want it in your face? Great. Let’s get it off the street,” said Jorden Person, head of Denver NORML, which is backing the ballot measure. “We’re not going to put more people on the road high. They’re already there, probably driving while they use it. So this is better than that.” Person’s group has until mid-August
to collect about 5,000 signatures to put the question on the Denver ballot this November. She had no estimate how much the campaign could cost if the measure makes ballots. Four years ago, Denver County approved legalization nearly 2-to-1. “For me what it comes down to is personal freedom,” Wright said. “We don’t want to hurt anybody. People just don’t want to smell it, like cigarette smoke. So it makes sense to give people a place to enjoy cannabis with other adults.”
there are understandable concerns about the causes. Sodas aren’t the only villains. A Philadelphia cheesesteak sandwich contains 620 calories or more. I did some checking. The smallest soda offered at a Philadelphia Phillies game, 20 ounces, is $4. (The smallest soda offered at a Los Angeles Dodgers game, 24 ounces, is $6.) That means that a Citizens Bank Park soda will go up by 30 cents, at least. Why point the finger at soft drinks? What about pie? What about cake and ice cream? Candy and cookies and doughnuts? Breakfast cereals? Someone said, “Soda is the tobacco of the 21st century.” There were ways around Prohibition. There will be ways around this too. A soda underground will bubble up in Philadelphia. Families will head to Upper Darby to load up on Squirt. I had a dream that I drowned in an ocean of orange soda, but it turned out to be a Fanta sea. Imagine Rodney Dangerfield, tugging on his tie. “I’m telling you. This new tax. It’s soda pressing.” Craig Marshall Smith is an artist, educator and Highlands Ranch resident.

CULTURE FA I T H FA M I L Y FOOD HEALTH
Old-fashioned approach Players in local food movement return to healthier connection By Shanna Fortier sfortier@coloradocommunitymedia.com
A
s the locally produced and grown food movement continues to gain traction in Colorado, bison rancher Neil Fischer wants to make it easier for residents to buy meat directly from ranchers. “We looked at the landscape of organically and sustainably raised food and there is not great access from the farm to the consumer,” Fischer said. That’s why in 2014 he and his wife, Teresa, launched The Farm2Table LLC Trading Post, a network of farmers, ranchers, local artisans and locals who buy direct. The model offers direct consumer distribution through an online marketplace — www.farm2tabletradingpost.com — and a year-round mobile market. The mobile market is in Parker inside the Parker Garage restaurant on Mainstreet from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m on Sundays and in Castle Rock in front of Briccy’s Coffee on Wilcox Street from 8:30 to 11:30 a.m. on Thursdays. Fischer hopes to expand the Parker market to three days a week over the summer. The Castle Rock market opened in May and resident Monika Wilmer couldn’t be happier. “It’s fresh meat, fresh food and I just love it,” said Wilmer, who tries to buy chicken and farm-fresh eggs every week. “There’s something about chickens straight from the farm.” Wilmer moved to the U.S. from Poland 10 years ago and had been searching for farm-fresh meat and produce to help combat stomach problems she recently developed. “Since I came to America, my stomach stared freaking out,” she said. “So I started reading labels and found out there’s sugar in everything we eat.” Fischer said Wilmer’s story is not unique. “There’s such a disconnect today for people and their foods,” he said. “With the increase of obesity, diabetes and many different forms of food allergies in kids today, people are asking `why?’ If it’s not in what we’re eating in commercial food, then what is it? People are looking to know the source of their food to know what the ingredients are.” Fischer’s solution to eating healthier is knowing your farmer. Marcus McCauley, of the McCauley Family Farm in Longmont, supports that notion, too.

“There’s no certification that can substitute for knowing your farmer and who is growing your food,” said McCauley, whose farm grows fresh produce and raises chickens. “And that’s what the local food movement really recognizes and embraces.” One distributor who is embracing the local movement is CharcutNuvo, a premium sausage manufacturer owned by fourth-generation Swiss sausage master Eric Cutknecht. The Denver-based company makes sausage in natural casings from premium cuts of meat, including beef, bison, elk, “jackalope” (rabbit, pork
and antelope) and wild boar. The proteins are sourced within 500 miles of Denver and are humanely and sustainably raised on family farms, Roelke said. Fruits and vegetables used in the sausage are organic. No nitrates or chemicals are used. “Sausage has always had a stigma, but transparency is one of our core values,” said John Roelke, sales manager for CharcutNuvo. “We want people to know what goes into their sausage. We think it’s really important for the health of our country that we don’t use chemicals.” CharcutNuvo sausages can be found at Whole Foods, Costco and Biker Jim’s and, this year, their bratwurst and Polish sausage are featured at Coors Field. They also are sold at Fischer’s Trading Post. The company’s way of making sausage is not new, Roelke said. Rather it’s bringing food back to the old days, which is what Fischer is targeting with the Trading Post. “Part of the idea of us being a trading post is going back,” Fischer said. “Our way of raising food is not new, it’s very old. I want to make a point with kids today that this isn’t a new food movement, this is how our grandparents ate — no

processed foods.” In the two years Farm2Table LLC Trading Post has been operating, it has grown from a dozen farms and ranches to more than 30 that contribute on a regular basis. All are from Colorado. “We coordinated with different ranches to provide products, so it’s not just one person with 12 cows trying to feed the public,” Fischer said. The cooperative now carries more than 100 meat items. “There’s no one that has this collection of meat, and it’s because most of us don’t make enough to sell to a King Soopers.” In addition to the online store and mobile marketplace, the cooperative recently started a monthly buyers club, which offers 10 different meat boxes, offering 100 shares of each box. “I think at the end of the day a lot of people think this is really cool, but they haven’t changed their habits of just going to the grocery store and buying meats for food,” Fischer said. “So, until people vote with their dollar, not much is going to change in our food system. It’s the actual involvement of buying your groceries from the local family farm that makes all the difference.”

And they have an opportunity to meet some Irish wolfhounds.

Featured in the Academy Award-winning film, “The Fighter.” • The Moxie Strings, which will perform each day, combine a fiddler, cellist and drummer/percussionist in a combination of Celtic and Americana music. • The Screaming Orphans are four sisters raised in
officials will mark the transition to a self-governing body. Five individuals who have volunteered at the center since its opening in 1976 will also be honored. “We wanted to let the public know we support this transition,” Sneed said. “It’s exciting to move into this phase where we’re sustaining ourselves.” The blending of music and business will make for an emotional and invigorating evening for performers and audiences alike. “Any time I get to spend at the center makes me so excited,” Shealy said. “I’m looking forward to singing outside on a summer night with some truly amazing people.”

Over the years, the Arvada Center has showcased some of the most famous musicals in the Broadway canon — everything from “Camelot” and “Les Misérables” to “Tarzan” and “Death Takes A Holiday.” To celebrate its 40th anniversary, and the transition from a city-run department to a fullfledged nonprofit, the center is hosting a concert in its outdoor amphitheater with the Colorado Symphony featuring songs from its most popular musical productions. The concert will be at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, July 9, at the Arvada Center, 6901 Wadsworth Blvd. “This is a way for us to celebrate our past and look ahead to what’s next,” said Philip Sneed, the center’s executive director. “Attendees are going to hear some of the greatest musical theater, with a far bigger orchestra than we normally have.” In addition to the symphony, the evening will feature performances from local musical theater actors and members of the center’s Musical Theatre Teen Intensive summer camp. With its three stages — the Main Stage Theatre, Black Box Theatre and Amphitheatre — the Arvada Center has produced more than 170 musicals, which provided plenty of choices when it came to picking songs. “Anything Goes” was the first musical

Backpacks hold key to great outdoors On May 20, 296 libraries throughout Colorado received a pair of backpacks, filled with a state parks pass hangtag, set of binoculars, a variety of outdoor Colorado guides, a state parks guide and list of activity ideas. Each pass allows free entry to any of Colorado’s 42 state parks, where you can hike and bike. If you have a fishing license and a campground reservation, you can fish and stay overnight. Littleton’s Bemis Library and Englewood Public Library both confirmed they had received them on May 20. (Englewood’s were already checked out later that day.) We assume Douglas County’s libraries have them, but haven’t received confirmation to date. The hope is that people will realize what a treasure they have and purchase their own pass.

‘On the Road’ exhibit carries viewers away
Depot Art Gallery in Littleton houses display until July 31
“Road Grader,” a pastel painting by Jennifer Riefenberg, was named Best of Show in the “On The Road” travel-themed exhibit at the Depot Art Gallery. Courtesy photo
IF YOU GO The Depot Art Gallery, 2069 W. Powers Ave. in Littleton, is open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesdays through Saturdays; 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Sundays. Admission is free. 303-795-0781. Volunteer Littleton Fine Arts Guild members operate the gallery in a vintage Santa Fe Railroad Depot that once served Littleton with freight and passenger services.
By Sonya Ellingboe sellingboe@colorado communitymedia.com Best of Show in the new Depot Art Gallery exhibit “On the Road,” is Jennifer Riefenberg’s small pastel painting, “Road Grader.” Juror Chris Ilitis chose a colorful, appealing work that is about the basics of building or maintaining a road as his first choice, then went on to other vacation memories in the exhibit that will be at the Depot in Littleton until July 31. “Painterly Pickup,” a shiny manipulated photo by Peggy Dietz, won the blue First Place ribbon. Second Place went to oil painter Sheila Marie for her “Torry Casa,” and photographer Joe Bonita’s charming “Najac, French Country Town” took Third Place. Watercolorist Jane Wing won an Honorable Mention for her delicate “Disappearing Road.” During a short visit, imagination can carry the viewer from Colorado’s mountains, lakes and canyons to a weathered farm in Walsenburg — in the subdued colors one sees there. Or, travel from a Southwestern American desert rock formation to
narrow old cobblestone streets in Italy and France. Where do they lead a walker? Perhaps to small plazas with a bubbling fountain, potted geraniums and laundry blowing in the breeze outside upstairs windows. A Venetian gondola awaits passengers and a street market awaits shoppers … A selection of pottery, jewelry and small unframed artworks is always available for gift buyers. A really imaginative, one-of-a-kind doll, “Girl With a Monkey,” by Julie Anderson, would interest a collector and small pottery items might be useful for outdoor summer entertaining that Coloradans enjoy on balmy summer evenings.

Children’s book stems from father’s message Wind Crest concierge was inspired by holiday sermon Staff report Debbie Brewer Binkley, a Highlands Ranch resident and concierge at the Wind Crest retirement community, has published her first children’s book, called “Brown Paper and a Piece of String.” Set in the 1930s, it was inspired by a message that her pastor father, Dr. Fred V. Brewer, preached every year from 1955 until his last Christmas in 2010. “Brown paper is so plain, not used for special occasions. In fact, it was used for everyday ordinary things—to carry purchases from the general store and to wrap messy garbage like old coffee grounds. It sometimes ended up in the compost heap to help with the decomposition process.
“So why is there a brown paper package sitting under the Christmas tree with all the beautiful packages wrapped in fine, colorful paper and ribbon? Frankie was intrigued. Little did he know the importance of the plain brown paper package and he was horrified when he discovered its recipient …” Brinkley has been involved in children’s ministry in Texas, Hawaii, California, Virginia and Colorado. Together with her husband, Verle Binkley, she recently started Binks Books LLC “to share with others God’s wonderful gifts of hope and life.” She and her husband of 46 years have three adult children and two grandchildren. The illustrations are by Alabama resident J. Gail Aldridge, and are created with chalk and colored pencil as a tribute to the author’s mother, who was an accomplished chalk artist and illustrator.

Play takes a look into heart of art ‘Bakersfield Mist’ shows collision of two worlds
IF YOU GO
By Sonya Ellingboe sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia.com As stage lights go up on “Bakersfield Mist,” we find Maude Gutman (Abby Apple Boes) pacing nervously in her trailer home as dogs begin to bark — and the first of many bits of blue language is hollered out the window. The cause of the barking knocks at the door and enters looking pale, frightened and annoyed. It’s famous art expert Lionel Percy (John Ashton), who has come at Maude’s request to view a painting she bought in a thrift store — which she is certain is by Jackson Pollock, the famous Abstract Expressionist artist whose distinctive drip paintings are worth millions. Percy spouts his credentials, including Princeton, the Metropolitan, the Whitney, his numerous books, including “Art for Dummies …” He is called for art consultations around the world and accepts a limited number of clients, he tells Maude in a stuffy manner. She says she is a carpenter and has lived at the Sagebrush Trailer Court for 33 years. “You are hardly the art collector I usually
“Bakersfield Mist” plays through July 2 at Avenue Theater, 417 E. 17th Ave., Denver. Performances: 7:30 p.m. Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays. Tickets: avenuetheater.com, 303321-5925.
h r i encounter,” he admits. “How did you come upon p this painting?” She brings out the painting, purchased for $3 G e at a thrift shop, and he looks hard and almost immediately says it is not a Pollock. “How do I b i know? It’s connoisseurship.” m She has done some homework about his past a and pushes him hard to change his mind … “Bakersfield Mist,” presented in a regional S premiere at the Avenue Theater in Denver, is o written by Stephen Sachs, an award-winning Los m Angeles director, based on an actual incident. It e had a London West End premiere and is playing in theaters across the U.S. Ashton and Boes, veteran actors, maintain a confrontational atmosphere with a number of funny one-liners throughout the 90 minutes. Who gets to decide on what is good art and are they actually qualified?

Watercolors enliven walls at Arvada Center gallery
Free admission available every day through August
IF YOU GO The Arvada Center is at 6901 Wadsworth Blvd. Galleries are open Monday to Friday, 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.; Saturday 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.; 1 to 5 p.m. on Sundays. Galleries are open until 7:30 p.m. when there are performances scheduled. Docents are available for groups of five or more. Call 720-898-7255.

Two experienced jurors, Sterling Edwards and Gale Webb, selected a few more than 300 paintings that fill three welllighted galleries on two floors of the Arvada Center. “The Summer of Watercolor” runs through Aug. 28 and is open to the public seven days a week with free admission. In the largest gallery on the first floor, a visitor will find the 134 paintings in many styles that were chosen by Sterling Edwards from 1,065 entries in the 41st Annual Western Federation of Watercolor Societies. The federation numbers 6,000 members in 12 organizations: Arizona Watercolor Association; Colorado Watercolor Society; Idaho Watercolor Society; Nevada Watercolor Society; New Mexico Watercolor Society; San Diego Watercolor Society; Southern Arizona Watercolor Society; Southwestern Watercolor Society; Texas Watercolor Society; Utah Watercolor Society; Watercolor Society of Oregon; and West Texas Watercolor Society. Different members of the federation host the exhibit each year and it’s Colorado’s turn in 2016. Arvada Center, with its 3,000 square feet of gallery space, is a perfect host. Upstairs, in the Upper and Theatre Galleries, the Colorado Watercolor Society exhibits 70 additional paintings, selected by Gale Webb from 327 entries — also varying in style and technique. (There are 500 members, from throughout the metro area and across the state.) Members of the Colorado Watercolor Society, whose president is Greg Chapleski of Highlands Ranch, have been working for months to arrange for smoothly operating exhibits, meeting with Colin Parson, gallery
“Lilies and Glass Globes” by Lorraine Watry was named Best of Show in the Colorado Watercolor Society portion of the “Summer of Watercolor” exhibit at the Arvada Center. Photos by Sonya Ellingboe manager at Arvada Center. Chapleski said that Gene Youngman, an art teacher at Arvada High School, has been Colorado’s representative to the Western Federation and worked on this show for about 18 months. When Chapleski steps down as CWS president, he’ll become the Western Federation representative. The 2017 WFWS show will be in Portland, he said. There were a number of awards in each exhibit. Best of Show in the WFWS show is “Checking the Gears” by Rance Jones, of Richardson, Texas. The CWS-WFWS Signature Members Award went to Frank Francisco of Grand Junction for his “Holy
Spirit Iglesia,” and a recognition certificate was given to Robbie Fitzpatrick of Magnolia, Texas, for “Rosy Antiquity,” a portrait of a huge, elderly turtle. Lorraine Watry won the Best of Show in the Colorado Watercolor Society show with her “Lilies and Glass Globes,” a flower-filled pond with Chihuly blown glass globes floating among them. It really sparkles. Panels of artists are programmed to speak about the show on two occasions: • 11 a.m. June 25 — Pamela Gilmore Hake, Paul Foster, David Wicks and Gene Youngman. • 6:30 p.m. August 4 — Randy Hale, Kathleen Lanzoni and Gene Youngman.
“Rosy Antiquity” by Robbie Fitzpatrick of the New Mexico Watercolor Society won a Recognition Certificate in the Western Federation of Watercolor Societies portion of the Arvada Center exhibit.

The Edge stages intense production
By Sonya Ellingboe sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia.com Catherine’s Austin, Texas, garden is overgrown and weedy and she has hired a Cuban gardener to bring it under control as Robert Schenkkan’s “By the Waters of Babylon” opens at the Edge Theater. Symbolic of two distressed psyches, the garden yields to human intervention before the troubled pair can manage their own problems. Mojitos help. In this intense play, Patty Ionoff and Kent Randell play off each other effectively — slowly revealing back stories that have left both emotionally crippled. She has suffered in an abusive marriage and he escaped Cuba when his book was censored and now has a massive writer’s block. We learn about a writer’s life in Castro’s Cuba. Both characters unload in lengthy monologues and one wonders if healing is possible. You know where this is going, but how it

The second act moves to the bedroom as expected and the set design cleverly makes that happen despite the Edge’s small stage area. Skilled director Warren Sherrill, who was recently appointed associate artistic director at the Edge Theater, has kept the interchange of dialogue paced just right, so each of the pair develops and changes towards a future we hope for. Ionoff and Randell, with meaty roles many actors would love, keep our interest to the very last lines.

Young hands guide race cars Drivers range from 5 to 17 years old at Junior Drag Races By Tom Munds tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia.com The pop, pop, pop of dozens of singlecylinder engines filled the air June 24 as young drivers prepared to take their turns on the starting line at the Junior Drag Racing event at Bandimere Speedway in Morrison. Kyleigh Schneider said junior drag racing is about having fun with all her friends and winning races. “I started racing when I was 9 and now I am almost 14,” the Littleton resident said. “In racing, the rules make the cars very even. So it comes down to the driver’s focus and concentration to get a good reaction time off the starting line.” She said her goals for this season are to have fun, win a lot of races and do better in the class than she has done in the past. Kyleigh’s dad Brett Schneider said he and his dad run an auto repair shop and they both did a lot of drag racing, so he decided to pass the love of the sport onto his kids. “When you have been drag racing for a long time, you don’t want to give it up being at the track with friends. So we got our son and daughter into junior dragsters,” he said. “I think being part of junior drag racing gives them a hobby they can have fun doing. It also teaches the kids about the mechanics of cars.” He said his son Connor and his daughter are in the same racing class. “They have never raced against each other but there is competition and they both talk a lot of smack about racing,” he said. There is a full schedule of junior drag races at Bandimere Speedway and the Schneiders were among about 150 boys and girls on June 24-26 for the big event called the junior shootout race. “This is an annual event for Bandimere Speedway,” said John Miller, track media representative. “This is a threeday event with a lot of special races and competitions.” Pit areas were lined with equipment trailers pulled by a variety of vehicles, ranging from pickups to motor homes. The cars driven in junior dragster races are half the size of the dragsters driven by adults. There also is a huge difference in horsepower as the junior dragsters for younger age groups are powered by Briggs and Stratton lawn mower-style engines. The older group can upgrade their engines to small motor cycle engines. A base car and engine for younger drivers costs about $5,000 new, but used cars are usually available. The cost goes up as drivers get older and the cost for car and engine can be more than $8,000. Driver safety equipment is required
Brett Schneider gives his son Connor’s junior dragster a push so it can roll down the hill to the staging lanes for a June 24 timing run. Connor was among the 150 young drivers who took part in the three-day junior drag racing event at Bandimere Speedway. Photos by Tom Munds and the equipment to satisfy the rules can cost $500 or more. Each driver must be a member of the National Hot Rod Association. The fee for a year’s membership is $34. Additional costs include the equipment trailer, spare parts, fuel, and race entry fees. Travel expenses would be have to be added in to the total cost of competition if the team goes from track to track. Miller said protecting the drivers is a must so the rules require drivers to wear full sets of protective equipment including safety racing suits and helmets plus they must have the regular five-point safety harness to belt them into the cockpit. Races are open to 5- to 17-year-olds divided into five age groups. Rules for each age group limit the size and speed of the vehicles. For example, 5-year-old drivers are limited to a single pass down the track and can’t go from a standing start to the finish line one-eighth of a mile away faster than 20 seconds while 13- to 17-yearold drivers can go a lot faster and can be traveling about 80 mph when they cross the finish line. According to the National Hot Rod Association there are about 3,000 regis-
Cars line up in the staging lanes as the young drivers await their turn to make a run during the June 24 junior dragster event at Bandimere Speedway. There were about 150 drivers ranging in age from 5 to 17 who took part in the three-day event. tered junior drag race drivers competing on about 130 tracks around the United States and Canada. The races at Bandimere are a local competition. However, there are parentchildren racing teams that travel to other
tracks to compete for points with the goal of being named a representative to one of two Junior Dragster finals, the Western Nationals in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and the Easter Nationals in Bristol, Tennessee.
Racing, fireworks scheduled for Bandimere Speedway Independence Day celebrated July 2 at Morrison speedway By Tom Munds tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia.com The roar of powerful engines and the flash and boom of fireworks are all on the agenda at the Jet Car Nationals & Family festival July 2 at Bandimere Speedway in Morrison. “Bandimere Speedway has held a family celebration of Independence Day for about 20 years,” John Bandimere Jr. said. “We want it to be a fun event for the whole family while we also share our
pride in our country.” Racing includes 290 mph jet dragsters and 200 mph drag races during the day. The family festival includes rides, games, contests and activities for parents and their children. Gates open for spectators at 2 p.m. Adult admission is $28 at the gate and $23 in advance. Tickets for children 6 to 12 are $16 at the gate and $14 in advance. There is no charge for children 5 and under.

Valor grad nearly claims match-play title Josh Seiple’s rally in Lone Tree falls just short
THE RESULTS
By Jim Benton jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com
Results for local golfers for the final three rounds in the Colorado Golf Association’s Match Play Championship, which concluded June 14 at Lone Tree Golf Club.
Josh Seiple played his best golf at the end, but it still wasn’t good enough to overcome a slow start. Seiple, from Castle Pines Golf Club, overcame a 4-up disadvantage after the first 18-holes of the 36-hole final of the Colorado Golf Association’s Match Play Championship at the Lone Tree Golf Club. However, he was edged, 1-up, by Nathaniel Goddard, of Ptarmigan Golf Club in Fort Collins, on June 24 in the 116th title match of the CGA’s oldest tournament. “In the morning I just didn’t have my stuff,” said the 20-year-old Seiple, a graduate of Valor Christian High School in Highlands Ranch. “Nathaniel had his, and I just kind of brought some more energy... I was close, played well in the afternoon, but it wasn’t good enough.” Seiple, who had double hip surgery last August and got a medical redshirt at the University of Mississippi for his sophomore season, never led during the finals after carding a 75 during the first 18 holes. He rallied to make it a close match during the afternoon round, which also included a two-hour rain delay. “After that little hour break between matches, I birdied the first two holes coming out,” he said. “I birdied the fifth after the rain delay so I just got off to a better start. The momentum seemed to change a little bit in my favor.” Seiple evened the match on the 14th hole. Goddard, a 22-year-old graduate of Colorado Christian University who played on the Lakewood school’s back-to-back Christian University national championship teams, birdied No. 15, but Seiple once again tied the match with a nice up-

and-down birdie on the 16th hole. Goddard’s approach shot on No. 17, set up a 6-foot birdie putt, which pushed him into a 1-up lead and then both players parred the 18th. “He made an awesome putt on 15 and hit an awesome shot into 17 so props to him,” Seiple said. “I just couldn’t get over that hump. He kept the pressure on all day, he putted well and to do that is hard to beat. I took myself out of it in the first match. “I didn’t make a bogey on the last nine holes. I played my last 11 holes at 3-under. I closed well. It was that morning match that took me out of it. This is about the fourth or fifth tournament back since the surgery. The past few tournaments I’ve started to get into contention. I wish I could have closed this one out but I’ve been there the last few tournaments.”

Seiple is coming off double hip surgery last August and got a redshirt medical hardship at the University of Mississippi and will be a sophomore on the golf team this fall. Photo by Jim Benton

TO SOLVE SUDOKU: Numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!
LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Be careful: What appears to be a solid financial opportunity might have some hidden risks attached. A hazy personal matter needs to be cleared up. SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) It’s a good time to strengthen ties with family and friends. You might feel unsure about a recent workplace decision, but time will prove you did the right thing.

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Your usually generous self is overshadowed by your equally strong suspicious nature. You might be judging things too harshly. Keep an open mind. AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Love and romance dominate the week. Married Aquarians enjoy domestic harmony, while singles could soon be welcoming overtures from loving Leos. PISCES (February 19 to March 20) An old health problem recurs, but it is soon dealt with, leaving you eager to get back into the swing of things. A favorable travel period starts this week. BORN THIS WEEK: You have an independent spirit that resists being told what to do. But you’re also wise enough to appreciate good advice. (c) 2016 King Features Synd., Inc.

‘Incomplete is complete’ for visual artist A moment in time with painter Tadashi Hayakawa
TADASHI HAYAKAWA
By Tom Skelley tskelley@coloradocommunitymedia.com
The painter sits in an armchair on a drop cloth spattered with drops of dark paint like a negative impression of a night sky. He stares at the canvas standing 10 feet before him, alternately squinting and relaxing his eyes, searching for his vision in the streaks and shapes of oil. Suddenly, all in one motion, he stands and strides forward. His brush, already in his outstretched hand, pulls him to the canvas as an excited child pulls a parent along a sidewalk to show them some new and fascinating thing. The brushstrokes come in quick, noisy bursts, shaking the tripod that holds the work in place. The sound of bristles scraping against the canvas, like a cat scratching at a door, drowns out the noise from the world outside the studio. Once every minute, he takes four steps back, looking intently at the section of the piece he’s just worked on, and looking ahead to the area he’ll go next. After a few seconds, he retraces his steps exactly back to the canvas. An unseen yet tangible connection exists between Tadashi Hayakawa and his work — a tether that pulls him back each time he drifts away. Streaks, swirls and lines spread across the piece like barely-formed storm clouds, pushed and dragged PUBLIC NOTICE along by a divine hand. The NOTICE OF FINAL PAYMENT process — retreating, returning, NOTICE is hereby that the Platte swiping and given stroking the brush, Canyon Water and Sanitation District (“District”) Arapahoe andlines Jefferson creatingof forms and out of a Counties, Colorado, will make final payglob paint — repeats itself again ment at of 8739 Coal Mine Road, Littleton, Colorado 80123, on Monday, August 1, and again for more than an hour. 2016, at the hour of 1:30 p.m. to Insituform Technologies, LLC, of he 17988 Edison The final time steps away Avenue, Chesterfield, Missouri, 63005 for thebycanvas his face changes allfrom work done said Contractor(s) in construction work performed within the Disfrom squinting skepticism to a trict. wide-eyed smile.

Tadashi Hayakawa, one of four children, was born in Tokyo in 1941 and began painting in elementary school. His father singled him out and insisted he pursue art because his own parents had forbidden him from doing so. After graduating with a Master of Fine Arts degree from the Otis Art Institute in 1969, Hayakawa became a graphic artist. He made good money, but the work left him unfulfilled.
